Guild Wars 2

Needs a serious overhaul.

The megaserver system has largely been a failure, introducing issues where there never were any before, for RPers, for guild events, even for the current Queen’s Jubilee Boss Blitz, which never has enough people to complete it unless an entire guild manages to take over an instance (I’ve only seen TTS accomplish this so far). We’ve yet to see how it plays out in living story content, but from what I’ve seen so far I expect it will make things MORE difficult, not less (and was a largely unneeded change anyway with the implementation of the new story logbook). But that’s another discussion.

If you’re going to keep the megaservers, you need to make world bosses show up more often than they do. I can never ever do the Jungle Wurm any more. It’s only active when I’m at work or asleep. The guild trigger is not reliable because from what I’ve seen the guilds like TTS are going to have one set time when they trigger the event and that’s going to be when the majority of their players will be available, which is not when I’m available. I’m not the only one in this situation.

Make the world bosses more frequent and more varied in their appearance so that everyone has a chance at them.

I certainly won’t say it’s perfect, but I don’t feel the megaserver has been as bad as you suggest. My biggest fear, that I would be largely seperated from my server in cities (and to a lesser extent, other areas) has proven much less of a problem than I feared. And I’ve seen multiple Boss Blitz get organized enough to silver and gold, without ever seeing a large guild take it over.

As for world bosses, most of the ones I’ve been to lately have been full enough I suspect there are multiple other instances of the map. Given this, perhaps Anet could decide to make two bosses appear at a given time for the 30 minute mark on a cycle that makes the appearance of a particular boss, particularly the larger ones, less spread.

I with a few others have put together many a gold blitz. The longest running map we had was 23 hours with 86 golds and 17 silvers. One boss caller stayed awake through the whole thing. Once all of us were too tired to go on, we left.

The guild I’m in that helps put these together is BBB, and we don’t take over maps. We help organize them. Yes, we use teamspeak to communicate. If we don’t have BBB callers on each boss, we encourage people in the map to join ours or call out HP in map chat so we can prepare the burn. We don’t tell people to leave bosses, we’re used to the afkers, and we keep positive attitudes, but we do make a point to note certain facts that may be helpful for some to know if we want to achieve gold.

Wiggin, you’ll always be my favorite. 1.5 million + (Max(-4 + engagedPlayers, 0))*(1.5m * 0.2f)) health and all.

This thread is supposed to be about boss rotation, not the megaserver. I just brought up the megaserver because it’s the reason the problem with the boss rotation exists.

Apologies. In the meantime while they’re busy not fixing the boss rotation, feel free to add me to your contacts. If you see me in the Crown Pavilion, I’m in a gold. And I don’t ask for “donations” for taxis.
