Title says it all:

1: The lost shore event was a complete failure and a botched work. Why ?
– The southsun cove map is not a real map (at least in my opinion) because you can’t explore it and feel satisfied when you reach 100% completion.
– Karka items such as shells can’t go to your bank via the deposit collectibles button
– Karkas are not even considered as a type of enemy. I MEAN WHAT THE HELL ? You kill a karka and it doesnt add to your daily “kill variety”. This is horrible.
– Some friends got a karka chest mailed event if they attempted the event and looted the “real” one.

2: When jumping, your hardware performance can reduce your jump length. For instance if I’m on the edge of a mountain and about to jump, and my FPS suddenly decreases then my jump will be shorter. It’s a proof of terrible coding and probably the same thing that allows bots to teleport across maps.

3: Loot rates are stealth nerfed everyday.

4: Some classes are still bugged to hell and way overpowered/underpowered and nothing is made to fix them.

5: Over 9000 things are bugged like events in Orr and some bosses/mobs. Such as risen sharks one shooting you from 30 miles away underwater

I think these are minor gripes but yes I agree. In fact its impossible to refute stuff like a bug is a bug. Sounds like 90% of your problems are because of bugs.

I don’t know about your overpowered/under powered claim however. In pvp certain classes are better against other classes depending on your build and I have played all classes in structured pvp and I don’t have many concerns. If you build glass cannon you kill fast but you also die fast. If you build bunker you give up a lot of dps to hold a point so it all seems pretty fair. There is a lot of tuning they could do but this game is still a gazillion times more balanced than WoW ever was IMO. That reason is simple. Everyone has the same “power level” because of gear and you can customize how you want. Of course I am only talking about structured pvp so pve and wvw its a bit different because not everyone is the same there.

Yes but horribly frustrating bugs.
I’d also like to know if there’s a way to loot badges of honor except doing jumping puzzles ? They don’t seem to drop from players anymore.

Edit: just made my 15th kill in a row without a single badge of honor. Please fix this issue.

Yes badges need to drop a lot better in WvW. Hence why some people call the jumping puzzles there badges of jumping lol.

Wouldn’t surprise me if its bugged.

Not very minor to me.

These things like the loot issues herding us to the store every minute for pve players are just amazingly shortsighted moves. Apparently they believe that people will actually continue playing while this goes on like nothing’s happening. My friends and I refuse to log back in for anything until they fix the loot.

Have fun not getting rewarded for your time everyone.

my first computer game involved using an old tape recorder,
loading took up to half an hour for 48k worth of program,
if the volume was too low or high it would fail to run.

since then games have come a long long way,
bugs are still present but are any of them game-breaking?

No.

What i think about your facts? They are spot on, but unfortunately they don’t nearly cover all the issues with this game.

How i deal with them? I don’t. Not anymore.
I have given up on GW2 as a game, but moreso i have given up on Anet (or shall i say Nexon?) as a company to trust and to ever buy another product from.

2. PvP no incentive to actually win.
3. PvE feels like a solo game.

– The southsun cove map is not a real map (at least in my opinion) because you can’t explore it and feel satisfied when you reach 100% completion.

It my be unsatisfying to complete but it is a real map. This is not a fact.

- Karka items such as shells can’t go to your bank via the deposit collectibles button

Very annoying and would love to have them added to the bank.

- Karkas are not even considered as a type of enemy. I MEAN WHAT THE HELL ? You kill a karka and it doesnt add to your daily “kill variety”. This is horrible.

It should be fixed but I wouldn’t be so dramatic about this particular problem. At worst it seems more like a minor issue that will eventually be fixed.

- Some friends got a karka chest mailed event if they attempted the event and looted the “real” one.

I know nothing of this and have nothing to say.

2: When jumping, your hardware performance can reduce your jump length. For instance if I’m on the edge of a mountain and about to jump, and my FPS suddenly decreases then my jump will be shorter. It’s a proof of terrible coding and probably the same thing that allows bots to teleport across maps.

As someone who has done a lot of jumping puzzle my FPS only drops when there are large numbers of players near me.

3: Loot rates are stealth nerfed everyday.

Using the word everyday makes this statement untrue. Which is not a fact. You exaggerated. Some loot rate drops have been nerfed. Others were claimed to have been nerfed and proven otherwise. While I do not like they have done this exaggerating the problem will just cause furthering arguing.

4: Some classes are still bugged to hell and way overpowered/underpowered and nothing is made to fix them.

This is a very general and vague statement that cannot be a fact. You give no detail as to which classes you are talking about, which abilities, and why. If you give more detail then there is a chance what you say could be a fact, but class balance, at times, can be very subjective.

5: Over 9000 things are bugged like events in Orr and some bosses/mobs. Such as risen sharks one shooting you from 30 miles away underwater

9000? I find it odd that ends in a round number. Can you show 9000 bugged events/bosses? Your number is not exact. Which means it cannot be a fact. It sounds like you feel there are too many bugs and should talk about that. You should make Arenanet aware of the issues and talk about them in detail.

Discuss ?

What I see is a lot of personal opinion and not facts. Though some are facts. If you cut back on the exaggerating and talk more in detail then maybe this thread would be more constructive. As it is your post is mostly a rant and will turn most people off from having a discussion with you.

Fact means something real that can’t be denied.
It’s exactly what I stated in my original post.

Sadly, no, facts are not entirely what you provided in your original post. To be precise:

Title says it all:
1: The lost shore event was a complete failure and a botched work. Why ?

Opinion as to what constitutes failure vs success. By another set of conditions, the event was a success.

- The southsun cove map is not a real map (at least in my opinion) because you can’t explore it and feel satisfied when you reach 100% completion.

Opinion By your own words. Further the satisfaction of you completing is entirely bias, another may feel complete satisfaction knowing they completed it without requiring or desiring acknowledgement from the game empirically refutes your claim.

- Karka items such as shells can’t go to your bank via the deposit collectibles button

Fact As of now, however, it is not unreasonable that this could and should be patched.

- Karkas are not even considered as a type of enemy. I MEAN WHAT THE HELL ? You kill a karka and it doesnt add to your daily “kill variety”. This is horrible.

Fact It probably should, unless this is working as intended for some unknown reason.

- Some friends got a karka chest mailed event if they attempted the event and looted the “real” one.

Just to be clear, you find it unbearable that your friends received a reward? I think that’s just brilliant of you.

I think a more compelling argument would be along the lines of people who attempted the event may still not have received their deserved reward. But that is my opinion.

2: When jumping, your hardware performance can reduce your jump length. For instance if I’m on the edge of a mountain and about to jump, and my FPS suddenly decreases then my jump will be shorter. It’s a proof of terrible coding and probably the same thing that allows bots to teleport across maps.

Conjecture Further, it may just be an issue with “your” hardware.

3: Loot rates are stealth nerfed everyday.

Conjecture And completely unsubstantiated.

4: Some classes are still bugged to hell and way overpowered/underpowered and nothing is made to fix them.

Conjecture There are numerous discussions devoted to this topic, and your assessment is hardly conclusive of these discussions.

5: Over 9000 things are bugged like events in Orr and some bosses/mobs. Such as risen sharks one shooting you from 30 miles away underwater

Obvious conjecture

1. Your opinion, I loved the event. Additionally, adding in 100% map completion was a mistake in the first place, it gives people an excuse to run through areas to ‘complete’ them when in reality there are dozens of events they didn’t participate in, and never will because of this stupid completionist system.

2. This happens in most every online game with large drops and jumps, I’ve never had this happen with a short jump, if you do, something is probably wrong with your configuration. And this happens because the game has to calculate where your character can possibly go next at any moment so that it can have the area ready to render when you get there. As you can imagine, the computer isn’t programmed to assume you are going to jump to your death at any moment.

3. Dozens of people have run tests on this, and only ONE has ever come to the conclusion that drop rates have been nerfed, and his test was a joke only a complete idiot would take seriously.

4. WoW was still clearing out launch bugs when they released their first expansion, people are just being pithy and impatient and they need to sit down and shut up.

5. See number four

1: The lost shore event was a complete failure and a botched work. Why ?

Okay, I’ll bite. Let’s see what your reasons are:

- The southsun cove map is not a real map (at least in my opinion) because you can’t explore it and feel satisfied when you reach 100% completion.

It’s a real map. I don’t see how you could reach any other conclusion. If it’s not a map, when what is it? A biscuit? A pencil?

Whether you feel satisfied or not doesn’t matter. If you don’t like the map, don’t go there. It served it’s purpose during the event (probably even serves its purpose now), and we were told early on that it wouldn’t be as large as other maps. So, I feel there was no failure there, as it opened up another place to run around, even if it’s much smaller than the others.

- Karka items such as shells can’t go to your bank via the deposit collectibles button

It could be an oversight. Instead of complaining here, you could have simply posted about it in either the Suggestion or Bug forums.

- Karkas are not even considered as a type of enemy. I MEAN WHAT THE HELL ? You kill a karka and it doesnt add to your daily “kill variety”. This is horrible.

It’s not horrible or game-breaking. It’s a bug, for sure. Report it. That’s all you can do.

- Some friends got a karka chest mailed event if they attempted the event and looted the “real” one.

ArenaNet tried to make right. I don’t think it worked out exactly as they planned, but at least they tried. Compared to other companies that frequently do nothing at all, I think the effort is worth something.

Are you saying that you were due a chest you didn’t receive? If so, that’s unfortunate, but hardly the end of the world.

2: When jumping, your hardware performance can reduce your jump length. For instance if I’m on the edge of a mountain and about to jump, and my FPS suddenly decreases then my jump will be shorter. It’s a proof of terrible coding and probably the same thing that allows bots to teleport across maps.

I’ve never encountered this in over three months of play. I’m not saying it isn’t for real, but it is the first time I’ve heard of it. I’ll reserve judgment on it at this point about whether it’s a real bug, but I doubt you should call it terrible coding, as I’m sure the coding really doesn’t try to anticipate what your FPS is when jumping. More likely, the low FPS is giving you a false sense of where you are when you jump, so you jump too soon.

3: Loot rates are stealth nerfed everyday.

This is not even close to realistic or true.

4: Some classes are still bugged to hell and way overpowered/underpowered and nothing is made to fix them.

What classes? I’ve seen plenty of class changes in the three months since the game launched, so saying “nothing” is being done to fix them is a ridiculous statement. Also, it takes time to balance things out. Just because you don’t see the changes right away doesn’t mean that you won’t see them later.

5: Over 9000 things are bugged like events in Orr and some bosses/mobs. Such as risen sharks one shooting you from 30 miles away underwater

9,000 things? How do you know it’s that many? Is there a list somewhere you can cite for reference?

Also, I really doubt that risen sharks can shoot you from “30 miles away.” Your levels of exaggeration are off the charts.

Discuss ?

Okay. I think you need to calm down, quit exaggerating, and report the bugs you believe exist in a sensible manner instead of ranting on the forums.
