Arise, opressed of Tyria!
Dear Anet,
I’m writing you with great concern. Just to recap my own experiences:
- At the start of the game there have been some hickups where the servers crashed and we had a very nice login-war. You’ve learned and fixed it. Thats great.
- at the introduction of halloween where the festival dungeon was introduced. You had an awesome video. After that the game crashed.
- With lost shores, you made some awesome content. Unfortunally the lag is so terrible I can’t play it.
My conclusion is that you have great idea’s but the execution is very bad. I know that this isn’t directly your fault. You make the content not the servers. But I have to notice an unbalance between what you hope will work and should be offering an awesome experience and what is realisticly doable. I call upon you to understand this. To see there is an issue here that has to be adressed.
I don’t know if you are asking too much when designing the events or the servers are just too cheaply balanced (during events). I do understand these things are the icing on the cake, and for the rest it is a very great game. But when you can’t deliver the icing, you shouldn’t try. I understand serverproblems are not your fault but NCsoft’s. But pls don’t try this again till you know you are ready for this. I rather have a wintersday festival (guessing that will be next) that isn’t as spectacular, then this all over again. In my opinion you should look at everything. Even looking for other solutions then using NCsoft. It is obvious they can’t handle what your asking from the servers. But clearly you (Anet and NCsoft) aren’t capable of pulling off what you currently want to pull off.
Hope you get my message and understand that you need tochange things one way or another.
I quess i was lucky, honestly zero lag on todays event. And i was in overflow half the time!
