Guild Wars 2

+1 if you think Anet should increase Map Population for just that zone or if they should make the AFK timer shorter thus kicking people out of the map

Yak’s Bend probably has around 30 AFK’ers every time, i see people just standing back by the waypoint doing nothing…probably hoping they will get a completion if they just afk through each event after they tag at least one mob

I agree to Arena Net should shorten the AFK timer for this. AFK people don’t contribute and they are being parasites.

Speaking of increasing Map Population, guests from another servers will just fill the spots. I say kick guests and prioritize natives in the server.

moar people = moar lagg
u really want that?

eh…not for me…i usually stay around 20-30 fps…

but it would be bad for DPS is most of the zerg is lagging

At least 300 should be on a map. What is it now? 200 probably is too low if you need 150+ at the Tequatl and if others still want to do map completion(you can’t forbid low lvl guys to complete there maps there) or some people might be afk(staying all the time afk on that map cause they don’t want to get on an overflow and “reserve a spot”… and maybe don’t make it back in time to fight when the event is up).

Afk timers won’t help if people just press some button permanently(they put some weight on that button)… which is not against the rules cause it does not cause an advantage(they can’t farm like that if they only move against a wall).

They would need another system. Like letting you type a random number every 5 minutes.

If you ever fought in T1 WvW on reset night you know that when you have three ~60 man zergs clash (~180 people) you end up with a MASSIVE skill lag. Can’t even fire off the healing skill for 20 seconds. ANet servers simply can’t handle that many people in one area at the moment.

Higher pop = worse performance and people getting disconnected

It’s not the solution. I don’t know what the solution is though, since people need to play together to succeed here. And overflows will just not work because voice chat is a requirement.

I think content can’t be this hard when those problems exist. If Anet can figure out a cure for the terrible performance/lag/DC and overflow problems, then content this hard is reasonable, but until then, the players shouldn’t be put through so much frustration by having new content that is at agonizing difficulty.
