Guild Wars 2

I decided to guest to a server with capable leadership since Henge of Denravi is only filled with WvWers and have all but given up. I guested to Tarnished Coast since they seem to be into PvE and would be able to put up a decent fight. I got into a queue like a good little slave and decided to do my time in Tequatl Purgatory, waiting for enough people to leave so that I could get out of the overflows onto the “real” map, where coordinated players are located. Unfortunately after 3-4 overflow jumps, Ziggy informed me that I had a Network Error, to check my connection. Well I hadn’t lost connection at all, I was perfectly fine. The game simply decided I couldn’t advance any longer and would not advance me in the queue.

Look, if you are going to lock people out of the content of the game, you’re gonna have to make it so that doing your time in Folsom County eventually leads you to the promised land. Or else nerf the encounter so that it doesn’t require 100 coordinated people to do. I know some of the people in this game get a raging clue from lording over people who have not succeeded at content from no fault of their own, but that’s probably not going to make the majority of people who play this game very happy. I look forward to people telling me how terrible of a player I am.

WVW players know what to do on this boss its the pve players who don’t know what to do.

People who only do WvW know what RED CIRCLES mean but pvers just seem to stand in it and then sit there until they die and then beg for ressurections whilst wvw players run back to the boss.

WvW players also know the dodge ability as well I never see pvers using it.

TIL there are only red circles in WvW.

I think you’re missing the point.

Well I get on the main map of my server and find out that the organized groups all went to an overflow. Tried piggy backing in and already full. And this is why this event fails for me. It is not that its hard, but that you cannot get with a good group, unless you slave yourself all day and that may not get you there.
Sorry but I am not going to spend 2 hours spamming to get with the organized groups. There is only probably about 20% of the populace that probably has killed him. And that is probably being very generous. I want to be one of them, but again it just comes down to sheer luck if you get with a good group or not.

I love how it’s always “That One Guy Who PvPs” who feels the need to bring up the horribly misinformed opinion that the people who primarily enjoy PvE don’t know what they’re doing on a boss fight simply by virtue of them being the ones who prefer PvE.

Fact: PvE players know what happens when they stand in bad stuff, and I’ll tell you why, but you should probably be sitting for this mind-blowing revelation…

You sitting? Okay, here it comes.

PvE has red circles too.

“Balthazar’s balls!” you might be inclined to exclaim, having never realized that those red circles you’ve been seeing in WvW exist elsewhere. It’s a hard pill to swallow, but it is indeed the truth. We lowly PvE players, filthy casuals that we are, still manage to identify threats when they are presented to us in the form of a poo puddle surrounded by a brightly-colored ring of light.

You learn something new every day.

Way to completely derail the thread in 1 post guys

On one hand… locals to a server can take solace in the fact that Guesters often get that Network error when waiting in a Queue while guesting.

On the other hand, the OP is right…. this is a flash in the pan DPS check that took a lot of resources and effort obviously but won’t see much play beyond this next week unless it’s changed to something with a deeper skill curve (spamming on turrets and side-stepping out of an AOE doesn’t make anyone a lot more “skilled” than most other PvE’ers … Nor does being in T2/T1 wvw: Aka: “Bandwagon Land”)
