Guild Wars 2

It is ridiculous the amount of people that are getting shafted because of this one-time event idea.

It really doesn’t seem like Arena Net is ready for events like these to happen.

Not only are the servers destroyed when everyone is trying to log in at the same time, but the event itself was ridiculously buggy/broken from the get go.

To add insult to injury… the last couple one-time events that were released weren’t even that “one-timey”. The entire event could have repeated itself without being game breaking. Sure.. it messes with the story just a little, so it’s not as “immersive” as it was originally intended…

But the immersive-ness is already COMPLTELY ruined for me by lag, bugs and disconnections.

Stop doing the one time events…

And stop trying to pump out events so quickly.

Focus on the game and fixing all the issues it’s having right now. I don’t mind waiting a few extra months for a well executed event. You’re trying to pump out all these shiny-pretty fun things to us…

Just stop and focus on the game, please, it has enough things to be fixed as it is.

I don’t mind one-time events, just do them better.

Oh, and stop giving out precursors and multiple exotics to the few people who actually made it to the end of the event!

It would be nice to have the option to participate in the one-time events through out the day.

It already happens in the overflows. Have each server run the event at a different time?

And make it so that you can only get the items one time…

There problem solved. Run the event for 24 hours at different times through out different servers/overflows.

About the drops for this game… It just took me by surprise. The last time we participated in a one time event we got a stupid kitten hat. 8I

And now the drops are ruining the market. I heard from my fiance that there’s a server where the Dusk went down to like 40 gold.

Wtf.

The trading post is global. So it will be the same price everywhere.

Well that’s a relief.

One time events are fine imo. I missed it but I really don’t feel like I’m missing out much. The precursor are just random drop so with my luck I’m pretty sure I won’t get it even if I did the event.

The only regret that I have is that the time chosen is really bad for some people.
For AEST people it’s on a monday – most people have school. Moving one time event to sometime during the weekend would’ve been much better.

The golden rules of Guild Wars 2

We respect you—as a player, as a human being. This game we’re making may end up competing with your real life. It might fight for your free time alongside your friends, your family, your work, and whatever else you might be doing.

How do one time events fit with this ?

Agreed. At worst, “one time” events should be repeated at least two or three times to allow people to participate that weren’t originally able to make it – which is the majority of people.

OP they have said they have more than one team working on things. The team that works on event has nothing to do with fixing things like profession bugs or some zone bug, but i do think they do need to stop with the one time only events like they are doing and do like a one day only event so ppl can atleast have time to do it.

Yesterday i try to play the third phase of " Lost Shore " event but i have logout after 30 minutes because the lag make me crazy, i can’t see enemy and their attacks and a lot of ppl die without to understand what kill they.
This morning i have read on wiki that who resist in that lag fest has win an exotic accessory and a other loot.
I think that this type of events are unbalanced and gives an advantage to the ppl that has a good personal computer.
So i hope in no more one time event like this or in one time event with real playbility.

One time events are fun and great. Please stop trying to ruin other people’s fun because you want every aspect of the game to cater to your personal whims. Im sorry but you cant experience everything in the world, enjoy those things you can and move on. If you want them to polish events more, I get that, but are you really going to advocate that special events never happen just because you cant be there? Sometimes you will get to be there, sometimes you wont. I missed 2 haloween events and one event this weekend, but I’m not upset because there is SO MUCH more to the game.

I missed the whole event, even the initial quest for the CCC (because it was bugged) and I’m not mad I missed the event.

Yes, I am jealous of anyone that was able to play and really jealous of anyone that actually got a Legendary, but events like this are fun for those that can attend.

One time events can be very fun as long as there are longer events everyone can enjoy to counter these.

One time events are archaic nonsense that every other MMO gave up years ago, because all they do is divide the community and generate a feeling of the “haves and have nots”….honestly its like Anet have been living in a cave for the past 6 years or something, its like they have taken the very worst of MMO’s and wrapped it all up with a pretty pink ribbon.

Event itself was amazing, really loved the first and last part, well as far as i got which was first reinforcement of the ancient karka. After that i just had to logout, can’t stay up all night for one event.

But really disliking the one time only, and on which time that event started, which was wayyy too late in europe (at least here on +2 gmt area).

I like punctual events, I do not want to let you spoil me my pleasure! >. <

I missed the event due to obligations, so I’m not a fan of one-time events because it alienate players that don’t have the ability to login at a moment’s notice. At the very least have the event run multiple times during the day.
