Guild Wars 2

A-net, please, please, please, please, please, for the love of god fix the world boss crisis. It used to be my favorite part of the game. Trying to call for help from guild mates, people near by or even running to lions arch or a capital city for a minute in an attempt to recruit people for a temple run or assistance on a world boss. And after you got enough help it used to actually be engaging and most importanly FUN with the reinforcements you called aid for Now I feel this lack of effort to find help is destroying the sense of community. It used to be, even after calling up all the help you could muster there would still be just the right amount of people at a fight, so that you had to actually use your skills effectively and work together. Now it’s just a blinding mess of peoples names and you can’t even see the boss. As I said before just mash buttons, collect loot, bounce to the next one and repeat. No fun. People will get bored very soon. This game is becoming as mindless as WOW and i used to be blown away at how much creativity A-net put into things like world bosses. Now it’s just drowned in an a massive zerg and all the creativity is wasted. It seems like I never come across fellow guild mates anymore either. Just an excessively large group of strangers mashing buttons collecting loot and telling dirty jokes or something in the chat because they are bored. Sorry to ramble. I’m just so let down, yet hopeful they will do something to fix this matter. Please oh please, or else i have to find a new game unfortunatley, and I so love the possibility of what Guild Wars 2 could be…. or was.

I stopped doing world bosses when they introduced megaservers and the world boss schedule for the same reasons you mentioned. Everything but Tequatl and the wurm is just a punching bag and for those to you need a good map and therefore taxis.

You should still put that feedback in the appropriate threads:

• World Boss Synchronisation
• Megaservers

Scaled bosses are slower too. Soloists could melee blast Mark II in 4 minutes for instance. A zerg wearing full nomad ranging from the safebox, on the other hand… that can take as long as 9 minutes.

The change to the world bosses pretty much killed the game for me.. it was the only thing I loved to do!

I like the mega server, my server was empty and lonely before it. I don’t know why you complaining, does the drops decrease or something. You guys are only the minority, there are plenty of people that enjoys it.

You had a choice to transfer or guest to another server.

And without bringing any good evidence, stop calling others minority.

Megaserver was a boon in many regards. However it did also lead to situation where the world bosses are overrun by too many players. This however isn’t necessarily a issue with the megaserver but merely with the mechanics at play, when initially designing (and then various changes over time) the bosses they never really had decent mechanics to handle a hundred people at once. So removing them from the megaserver, or altering the number of people allowed isn’t so much a solution as much as a band-aid. Even before megaserver we’ve had these sort of issues with world bosses being swarmed by the zerg.

This thread is about world bosses specifically. Of course megaservers have advantages and having fuller maps is one of them. When it comes to world bosses, however, they take away every challenge. It used to be fun to do Frozen Maw or Fire Elemental with 5-10 people. There also was a time where Taidha or the Megadestroyer actually failed sometimes, meaning you had to work together properly and victory was all the sweeter.
