Guild Wars 2

NSP has been running a gates of arah, temple clear, karka queen every night at server reset for the past year and a half. Anets garbage megaserver change has completely ruined it. All temples are completed no matter what map we zone to. We can just switch to another server anymore if it was completed NSP. Part of the update said that we would be placed onto the same map with people we regularly play with. What they didn’t think of was to put the people who do play together on a map that doesn’t have all of the temples cleared.

Great job anet. Forcing people onto the same map has ruined an established community of people who try to play together a couple hours a night. I would suggest you focus your time making updates with things people would like improved (wvw and precursors for instance) instead of running a wrecking ball through something that was working just fine.

Man well I just bought this game and waiting for it to install so. I’m gonna have my fun

its not about u its about every1, most of us love this update, and they added a specific update for guilds like you, now u can spend ur guild points or w/e on starting an event ANY TIME YOU WANT so use that

Megaserver is awesome,it brought forsaken world alive.Precursors are jokes as legendary weapons are.

people who are complaining could you at least have one topic and not 2452532534???

they have implemented a system that allows guilds to start events at times outside of the new spawn times.

while you may be having problems majority have been craving for this for over a year now as places were dead especially those in the smaller servers.

Meanwhile, my server isn’t running a gates of arah, temple clear, karka queen every night at server reset for the past year and a half.

This is a great update if one looks past the cesspool of negativity.

server merges are never a good thing, but GW2 never really had a server “community” thanks to guesting to begin with, so who knows.

NSP has/had a great community that developed over time. The OP’s temple zerg is/was a great example. Oh well, I guess Anet saved a few bucks.

So why don’t you enlighten us on how one can use guild points to start up lyssa temple, dwayna temple, melandru temple, grenth temple, Balthazar temple and the gate of arah?

Or maybe just maybe you’d stop being so lazy and start rallying others around you and start up a community to run these events every night? Some people have actually put in a lot of effort to organize events for the community that they belong to so that the community as a whole benefits. Then there are others that prefer to tag the bosses with 1 and let the other 100 players do the work for them.

Cursed Shore and Malchor’s Leap are not megaserver yet.
The problem lies more with trait unlock, people want to do Grenth, Lyssa and gate of Arah. That’s why there are more people on these maps.

Cursed shore isn’t. Malchor’s leap is.

Clearly anet has the ability to disable or enable maps for megaserver implementation. Imo they should allow players the choice to choose whether to turn on or off the megaserver implementation for all maps. It will solve a lot of problems and keep everyone happy.

Mega server is great.
At least now it feel like someone’s actually playing the game and maps aren’t completely empty.
That being said, It seems it’s their way of merging the servers without actually doing it.

Except now there are too many on each map. making all the world bosses a 1 spam fest. And after all that there is still chance you’d be put onto a map without many people on it because the previous instance got full and u don’t have enough to fill the current instance of the map that you want to go to.

In the previous system if you couldn’t find anyone to play with on your own server, you always could guest on another server with a higher population. Conversely, if you’re from a high population server and find it hard to do a certain event because it is constantly being cleared, or simply want the challenge of being to do the event in a smaller group, you could guest on a server with lower population. Now with megaserver you have absolutely no control over any of this.

PvE was faceroll even before. At least now there are actually people to talk to, makes the “1” spamming somewhat bearable.

No it wasn’t. Just because you’re from a highly dense populated server doesn’t mean everyone else is.

If you actually think pve is so easy, I’d challenge you to complete melandru temple with 3, lyssa with 2, dwayna with 2, grenth with 5, balth with 8. If you’re bored enough you can also try to solo ulgoth, foulbear and the eye of zhaitan world events.

Lets see how you fare when you actually have to work for the loot.

Well in my opinion they screwd gameplay with megaservers.Its even worst than when game started.I remember running throu worldbosses having likem 12ish fsp.Later they did guestin and it was cool cause got decent framerate finaly but then ppl started to Q.Q that they arent able to do world bossesss etc so now we got similar crap like at the beginning…. with that difference that theres even twice more ppl in same map/overflow.And rly love that if youre in party theres info that world boss is up all your party jump and half of party cant join your map cause its full,really thx for that anet…. So if i may have a request optymalize game or remove megaservers to bring back my decent framerate…. (im running game on i5 4670k@4,4ghz,8gb ram and radeon 7970[@1060/6000],tested game with GTX680,GTX780 and GTX titan,pretty similar framerate on all cards so….)

Best update ever. If you’re a person who enjoys roaming the open world, this update is fantastic.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this many people on the less visited maps. It really adds to the feel of the game.

And also more lag and less challenge (which wasn’t really high in the first place already), without talking about the friends/guild problems with people not being able to join the same instance.

Yeah really, it’s the best update ever if you are a person who enjoys playing a MMO with no friends, no challenge, and no variety in what to do.

And because ppl like you Nage.1520 who doesent care about game mechanics were getting more updates that are ruining game I dont care how many ppl ill see on map i want to do my stuff without problems and this update made a lot of problems…

Dead servers with empty maps wasn’t ruining the game? What planet do you live on?

The game had basically been reduced to nothing but high-level farming prior to this. Almost no one did anything outside of farming world bosses, temple events in Orr and run champion trains in Queensdale and Frostgorge Sound.

The only people who did otherwise were dungeon and fractal runners, PvPers, WvWers and role players (on some servers). Of those, most of them were unaffected except PvPers who got some improvements and roleplayers who get screwed.

The biggest problems from megaserver right now are open world difficulty being way too easy due to the lack of proper scaling, and guild missions…

But honestly these problems are smaller than what we had before.

And they can be fixed.

It’ll be nice if there were people around to start a community.

well it screwed up the guild bounty today….

Not agreed, i find the megaserver update a good one. No more Server Seperation and elitism. Finally the cities and areas are full of life. Much better to build a community then seperated. Reminds me of Gw 1 where the community whas also one and not fragmented. Of course there are starting problems but that will be sorted out within time. And you can learn something about respect, you might wanna do something about your language.

@Hannelore.8153
“Dead servers with empty maps wasn’t ruining the game? What planet do you live on?” not sure why you quoted my post and from where you got those arguments.Im Underworld player and its worst wvw server,may be worst server in some ppl eyes but i dont care,were mid populated now casue all cowards run like little puppys to desolation/gandara or other servers with lame excuses.But it doesnt matter cause those who stay made community running world events and before update we were running most of them just fine.Now update bring zerg groups takeing place on map and killing bosses takeing challenge,fun and ruining our effort that we put into creating community.
@manky wench.4012
Yeah today ill lead another guild missions well see how fun it will be to hunt bounty or run puzzle with other guilds interfering… I liked game before megaserver crap….

I’m assuming you’re implying that the mega server has somehow reduced the number of servers Anet has to run, and as such saves them money. I’d just like to throw in that it doesn’t necessarily work that way, and it is very doubtful this has saved them any note-worthy amount of money (if for no other reason, it at least cost them to develop the mega-server system in the first place).

the megaserver update was really needed, and it is a very good update.

it fill the game with life again.

Seriously, guest to Eredon Terrace. We have no one. I’m sure people would even be happy if you asked them to join. It looks like only bots in Cursed Shores.

They should remove the defend events from the Temples already, of course Gates of Arah event included. Simple and effective solution to the Temple problem.

I don’t know why people think ANet is trying to save money after they claim to have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the China release alone.

The servers probably only cost them .01% of that to run.

Completely agree with this, those events just need to go away….

LOL—what forums are you reading? Wait a sec, I got it 420.

You can solo most of those events. In fact, it makes those events somewhat bearable.

PvE is still faceroll.

In my opinion, mega servers are not garbage. The are more players on maps making events, skill-points, vista and points of interest easier to complete.

My question is, was the entire NSP server population involved with completing the events listed or was it a select guild or two? Several statements in the OP indicate that one or two guilds were affected.

What’s wrong with doing the events with other players? Stop being selfish and greedy. As hafiz said “PvE is still face roll” so get out there and roll your faces.

I’m currently trying to unlock trait by defeating lyssa priest and for the past hour I’ve been simply afking there. Before I could simply guest to vabbi and solo/duo it in 10 minutes.

I’m sure anet wants players to feel the living (not empty) world but every single boss in this game, when zerged with 100 people, is hardly visible, let alone enjoyable to kill.

Ah, good point. I need the Lyssa one too for several of my characters. But first, I must wait for the Karka Queen to appear. /0\
