Guild Wars 2

This seems like a good place to share our thoughts and emotions on the event. So, yeah, I’m gonna rant a little.

I’m not normally a person who does this, but this event failed miserably. I mean, on a scale from 1 to 10 this went up all the way to 11 and I expected as much. Truth be told, I didn’t have high hopes about the event in the first place. The thought of ramming millions of people in Lion’s Arch made my skin crawl. Looking all blank space with a toon appearing here and there. In itself, this wouldn’t be a problem if I hadn’t foolishly left my charr in Lion’s Arch before the event started. This, I admit, is a failure on my part.

I logged in once, a miracle by itself, and saw one of those kraken/korda/whatever creatures after five minutes of staring into open space and then my connection broke. Small surprise there. Then I thought to myself, okay, I’ll just go to Mount Maelstrom, farm some Vanilla Beans, kill some trolls, maybe go up that hill with a lot of artichoke while cursing those swamp lizards for chasing me. I’ll go to Lost Shores some other day.

But no… As soon as I logged into Lion’s Arch I got thrown right to character selection screen like a pair of dirty socks. So, now I can’t play at all.

Mind you, ANet, I’m not mad, but I feel like you haven’t thought this through enough. I’m a big boy, I’ll live without playing GW2 for a couple of hours. Hell, I probably even should get a break since I have a deadline on Monday and a kittenload of work to do. The only thing I am pissed about is that now I’ll have to watch topic after topic of people whining about how hard ANet failed.

My feedback:

At present the game or the event to be precise is unplayable

I dont think anyone would disagree

Heard about ascended gear, thought; at least there’s a big patch to fix a lot.

Patch fixes nothing, at least there’s a cool event.

Event items all through chests with horrible skins, at least there’s the 1 time event.

1 time event lags beyond any lag known to mankind, and some dolphins, at least there’s new dungeon bags for tokens… ;_;

I am disappointed that due to lag that the event was almost unplayable. I put up with it until our server had Karka resolve down to 25% (where I only had 15 Karka kills in this time I might add) and then decided to follow the advice on Twitter: “If you’re having a problem with lag, try map traveling out of Lion’s Arch, then back in. ~RB2.” This turned out to be a mistake as when I re-entered LA the event was over in the overflow I was put into.

Waiting for the inevitable: “No need to freak out. It is only slightly increased lag.”

Guess the servers have feelings too. They hate the update and went on strike :-)

Pretty frustrated have been since launch with the game.
