Guild Wars 2

Ok, with the new information about the Megaserver and set time for world bosses the issue of the above title, more people being more problems is apparent.

I am sure with most populated servers or any server for that matter the reset zerg for the daily meta boss run around has a fluctuating population. It can be anywhere from manageable to lag inducing mobs dying in a blink of an eye frustration. This problem mostly occurs during events like Temple of Grenth and Melandru. Where people aoe the mobs before they even spawn. And even with the invulnerability to a point they still die before you can swing a sword on a melee character. And even if you have aoe to combat its a luck of the draw and luck of the lag.

So with the Megaserver adding more people I do hope they plan on buffing or increasing some mobs to allow people to get the chance for loot drops.

Another concern of mine is that since the Megaserver won’t be in the other maps till later yet the timers for things like Grenth and Melandru may be set will cause players who miss that event to be screwed in catching it again the second time around. Later this will be fixed by the megaserver being in that map since when ever you go to the map you go to the most populated. But until its released everywhere you’ll probably end up in a dead map since the zerg already did the event. So you have to be on time or else. This seems to put a time restriction on the PVE meta events.

Now I know that the argument is that “If you miss the event now your stills screwed.” Though right now the zerg leader controls the flow of the metas. When they happen and so forth so some of the more harder events tend to be the ones put off till later. It all depends really. Though with the new system of time restrictions the events will happen more often and your still out of luck until the megaserver is in place in all maps.

I understand what anet is trying to do though if you really want people all over the map then make a reason. Which you are by the new trait system. Add new metas or give more incentive for people to do certain maps either for daily of monthly or helping people through the area. Redoing hearts for chance of exotic drop maybe if your helping a new character through it? I don’t know just spit balling ideas. I feel as servers are an identity. And though we still have WvW it just seems like this change is a bit too much at the moment. Guess there is not stopping it now.

Just really hope this all works out as it would be nice to see more people and not have to worry about over flow. Just hope it doesn’t become a lag mess and I have to lower my graphics like I do in WvW.
