Guild Wars 2

Here on JQ like 5 minutes into the hourly event we got the “You have 3 minutes for a new build” message. After the forced restart none of us can do the event now, and have to wait like 50 minutes. Nice timing!….

This.

They could have updated before the event started.

This kind of insensitive crap is really turning me off lately. They also took 3 months to fix a stupid whisper of order coat color when it took only 1 day last time. Anet went from A+ to C in my book. And keeps dropping. They just dont care anymore.

Events are happening everywhere at all times. No matter when they push the update, someone’s event is getting bumped.

it’s really not a big deal.

Every time the “restart in 3 minutes” warning appears, a puppy dies.

Oh, wait, that doesn’t happen because it’s just a game.

Every time the “restart in 3 minutes” warning appears, it costs me $100.

Oh, wait, that doesn’t happen because it’s just a game.

Every time the “restart in 3 minutes” warning appears, someone playing the game is slightly inconvenienced.

Ok, that doesn’t matter because it’s just a game.

It’s happened to me many times. But I don’t sharpen my guillotine over it.

Depends.

If it was a bug that needed fixing then and there, then they’d need to put the update in.

When the event isn’t happening on one server, it’s happening on some other server on some other map. So practically there’s NO perfect time to launch a patch without screwing someone. I understand the pop-up message mere 3mins before patch is kinda bummer, but Colin confirmed that the invasion events are permanent. So, hey, you have time to repeat the event until GW3 comes out (and if achievements disappear after 4 weeks from now, you still have FOUR weeks to finish it).
