Guild Wars 2

Hey.

So, before I start, I want to get something out of the way; I like the living story and have no problem with it.

What I do have a problem with, however, is doing an invasion for 15-25 minutes or even until pretty much the very end and then disconnecting because the sheer amount of players/things happening are more than my computer/internet can handle (yes, I run low settings). Might be culling, might not be, but when so many people spam so many flashy spells at once, it just crashes.

This isn’t a real problem in itself. I get back in, no harm done. What is a MAJOR problem however, is that upon relogging, I get thrown into a map with five people doing the event, or worse and more often, a map without the event with quite a few people.

So, I’ve done most of the event, helped however I could – and now I’m in a deserted map without the loot, without the achievements I’m striving for but with a pretty decent case of being annoyed. Sure, I got a few chests – but that does not equal the whole loot, nor the loot you get when it’s finished and none of the achievements count. I have to do 13 maps. So far, I’ve done 5-6. The game counted 3 just because of the DCs.

But not to be only a rant thread, I’d like to suggest ANet (quickly) releases a system where groups of players in different overflows are put together in an overflow that isn’t full and isn’t re-set to 0% done with the same amount of time the main map has to do it. You may say they already have this system – if they do, it obviously isn’t working. There are tens of people in these maps waiting or being helpless against the whole event with a small group. Why not put us together and create 2-3 large overflows so whoever gets kicked out or doesn’t get the chance to join the main map has the chance to actually join a decent overflow that can and will finish the event?

Please do something about this. It’s really frustrating to waste so much time just to lose everything because the amount of people playing crashes your not-so-amazing computer/internet connection.

Bump, don’t want this buried
