Guild Wars 2

I love the epic quality of the events, I love the Scarlet story despite how little others do, but there’s just one thing that ruins it all.

Living story event strategies are broken.

A key component of doing these events has absolutely nothing to do with gameplay, combat tactics, communication doing the fight, gear, profession composition, or anything that a character immersed in the world of Tyria would have a concept of.

I speak of course about Overflow. Currently, manipulating overflows, trying to get into specific overflows, and sitting on your butt waiting and waiting to make sure your place is secure in the right overflow are all key strategies for success in the living story. Yet… overflow… is it justified in the story? Is overflow part of Scarlet’s scheme? Is there some 7th dragon of overflows, using overflows to compartmentalize our successes into irrelevant worlds? Are we going to get a new 9th class specializing in networking, mists theory/magic, and gateway manipulating?

Of course not… that’s just silly. So, why does Anet insist on making content that’s absolutely dependent on overflow manipulation?

I herd u liek overflowz so I put an overflow in ur overflow.

Do the masses really do that? I don’t, nor would I have the foggiest on how to. Is there some magic in Overflow 5.72?

What am I missing??
