Guild Wars 2

Or atleast come up with away that people can actually do something on their own server and not get kicked to overflow all the time.

This is getting out of control on TC the lag is horriable and getting kicked to overflow so other people can come and get kills here is wrong.

And i dont need to go guesting to other servers because folks come to TC and take our spots please try to fix this.

That’s what happens when people advertise your server as the “official pve server”.

You guys asked for it.

this reply has been copied and pasted from my response in another thread:
It is easy to blame guesting…. but in all reality, that is not the likely culprit.

With the new loot tables on world chests, there is an obvious increase in players completing these events.

Have you never gotten an overflow in LA?
Do you also blame this on people guesting from other servers to chill out in your LA home server?

If you have enough people just hanging out in LA to create an overflow, who is to say you wont have enough people doing all of your home server’s events as their respective timers pop?

Also,
There are so many world events going on on any server, that rarely will you have enough time to finish one before needing to map to another.

Swapping servers to do the same event over and over again would, at most allow you to do the event twice more (per toon), and it would just be easier to do all of your home server’s events.

Also, don’t you think that holds true for all servers? So if there was another event somewhere on another server, and what you say is true…. there were people from your server going to that event as well, essentially relieving population from your home world event.

Yeah… it also happens when population server is full, and yet they add more people to the server by guesting.

Maybe so, but for the last month or so everyone has been saying “go to tc, it’s the pve party server”. You can’t blame people for guesting there or anet for people guesting there when the people on the server asked for it themselves.

I was going to start a new thread regarding this. Those guests are becoming Permanent Residents. They stay in our server whenever they aren’t participating in WvW and thus hindering us residents of the server unable to participate with events such as World Event when it spawns.

Residents should be given priority and guests should be placed into overflow whenever a resident joins a full map.

I didn’t disagree with you. And I haven’t anyone on Dragonbrand saying go to TC, we have our own overflow dragon problems. But surprisingly, no LA overflows.

not only TC, on Jade quarry we have the same problem…the lags are unbearable ( FPS is fine, but there’s skill delay and intense culling). Anet do something about it!

and people: stop guesting on high pop server like TC and JQ !!!!

This is the dumbest kitten ever. I can’t join MY server during large events because greedy little scabs are gaming your system for rares. Remove the feature until you can fix it. Otherwise you’re just kitten people off.

Funny, guesting was here to solve people have issues with playing with friend and people having issues with completing events because of lack of people. Now people are complaining “go back to your own server, ours is good now”. For the majority, it probably has to do with more people doing these events because they’re actually worth it now and guesting is just a minute part of it.

Guesting is fine as it is, if they want to apply any sort of fix, limit guesting to 1 server or two servers at longer duration though in my opinion, it’s working fine as it is.

By the way, you know what’s funny, Anet isn’t going to nerf guesting because of you kittens complaining. What you’ll see in future patch notes is if you guys keep this up “World boss chest loot adjusted”. Everyone loses.

Also, the REAL reason to this complaint is kittens going to the event few minutes before it’s over. If you went to an event well before the time it spawn, even if you hit a overflow, you should have no problem leaving it.

I somewhat agree with this. If a map is full, players who have the server as their home server should get priority over guesting players. Though I’m not sure about kicking people out of a full map, guests should definitely be at the back of the queue to leave an overflow.

And this is what happens when super easy events give you guarenteed yellows.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Exactly, people complain about something they’re equally doing and then poof, Anet takes it all away. People should be happy that their lower zones are being more populated and not being greedy that they can’t have priority first. As I said in my other post

A very simple solution to making sure you get to the event. As for the lag, I suggest a better computer or turning down the settings. I get lower fps but it’s hardly unplayable.

Hmm, I don’t know where you guys are getting the idea that it’s 3 chest per toon. I just went and checked whether this was true with frozen maw, did it on my home server then went to do it on another, no chest. It’s safe to say, the chest is char bound and not server-character bound. Only takes a little time to check these things really. So many people make statements without even doing a tiny bit of research.

And it really makes sense, I had doubts that anet would be silly enough to make such a huge mistake on making it character-server bound since even JP chest are character bound regardless of which server you’re on (so if you finish a jp open a chest, the chest won’t be unopened on another server)

I’m sorry, but I do not practice leeching off other servers. I do not do things which I dislike to others. However, seems like majority of the guests who came to my server have the idea that they could get 3 chest per character. Funny enough, we only face these overflow issue in popular world event maps like Frostgorge, Sparkfly, and Blazeridge. I doubt that they are here to “play with friends”.

I’ve been denied of my home server chests for 2 days now. These guests seems to camp here and not leaving the server unless they want to WvW. This obviously poses a whole new issue called: PVE guest server camping.

So basically you want to go to an event last minute to get an easy chest and have priority over someone who has been there the entire time? Are we getting to the bottom of this now?

And as some one else pointed out the chests are character bound so switching servers doesn’t make a difference. So yeah, let’s talk about leeching.

It’s my home server , what’s the problem? That’s why we have website that tracks the spawn times of world events, so we could be there the moment the pre-event starts (please read: pre-event.). I don’t jump in last minute after the boss hp drops to 20%. I do the whole event as I am saving up karma and such.

I use my time representing my server in WvW and only come out for dungeons and world events. I don’t see a problem with that. I don’t sit in a map idling around doing nothing. Perhaps you do not participate in WvW and only sits around camping for events but I’m sorry, that’s not how I spent my time playing GW2.

Also, if you don’t practice what you call as leeching, then you shouldn’t make statements which aren’t true.

I guest for three reasons:
1) Mining nodes that are close together on a particular server. If that server has a non over populated group event at the time eg Claw of Jormag, I might join in.
2) COF/COE/Arah contested dungeons
3) Occasionally for the unlocked temples.

Yea you know, because someone enters your house earlier than you and lock you out because you fail to reach earlier. Totally no problem at all.

If your home server is dead then it’s too bad, but don’t go around denying other players their rights in their own server. Practice consideration and like what most people said, try not to guest high population servers. Go fill in other moderate population servers. It’ll help reduce the overflow issue and also the lag. Try not to be a prick. There’s a fine line between being a prick and being someone respectable.

Now people are complaining “go back to your own server, ours is good now”. For the majority, it probably has to do with more people doing these events because they’re actually worth it now and guesting is just a minute part of it.

Guesting is fine as it is, if they want to apply any sort of fix, limit guesting to 1 server or two servers at longer duration though in my opinion, it’s working fine as it is.

By the way, you know what’s funny, Anet isn’t going to nerf guesting because of you kittens complaining. What you’ll see in future patch notes is if you guys keep this up “World boss chest loot adjusted”. Everyone loses.

Also, the REAL reason to this complaint is kittens going to the event few minutes before it’s over. If you went to an event well before the time it spawn, even if you hit a overflow, you should have no problem leaving it.

Funny thing is people aren’t using it to play with their friends but instead using it to get 3 world event chests per character. These are called leechers. We as residents of our own server should have the privilege of going into any map at any point in time without having to queue in overflow. So what if we want to enter last minute?

I agree, ANet should remove chest loot while guesting. Since you know, guesting was meant for players to play with friends and that’s most important, not the loots

So basically you want to go to an event last minute to get an easy chest and have priority over someone who has been there the entire time? Are we getting to the bottom of this now?

Talk about leeching.

It’s my home server , what’s the problem? That’s why we have website that tracks the spawn times of world events, so we could be there the moment the pre-event starts. I use my time representing my server in WvW and only come out for dungeons and world events. I don’t see a problem with that. I don’t sit in a map idling around doing nothing. Perhaps you do not participate in WvW and only sits around camping for events but I’m sorry, that’s not how I spent my time playing GW2

Congratulations to you. But I still don’t see why you think you deserve priority queue over someone who has been there longer than you. Home server or no.

First come first serve, and all that.

Yea you know, because someone enters your house earlier than you and lock you out because you fail to reach earlier. Totally no problem at all.

If your home server is dead then it’s too bad, but don’t go around denying other players their rights in their own server. Practice consideration and like what most people said, try not to guest high population servers. Go fill in other moderate population servers. It’ll help reduce the overflow issue and also the lag. Try not to be a prick. There’s a fine line between being a prick and being someone respectable.

How about no? I honestly don’t see a problem here. It’s just people who want to show up in the last 2 minutes of a dragon event and have a priority over those that have been there the entire time so they can hit a few mobs to get their gold medal and chest and be on there way.

If you were so concerned about it, you’d show up a little earlier to those events (you admitted you use the dragon timers) and be through the queue when it starters. And nothing is stopping you from going to a different server. After all you have the timers, and I honestly doubt even the lowest pop server has trouble fielding people for dragon events, especially now.

Everything is working as intended. And your analogy completely fails since it’s all public.

Wow, you really have a thick skin don’t you? From your replies I can assume you’re a guester and being a really inconsiderate one too, reason being you’re asking the residents of the server you’re guesting to fk off to other server. Also I bet u’re guesting for the sole purpose of faster world event boss kill because your server is either dead PVE wise or just doesn’t give a fk. Save yourself a little dignity and be considerate while u’re in other people’s server.

I’m sorry but ANet will surely see this as an issue as it is always residents > guests and guesting is implemented to play with friends, not to inconvenient residents of other servers. I like what someone suggested in the other thread. Guesting to require an invite by a resident of a particular server.

Let’s sum up some information here so people know the facts of this discussion:

1. A character can only ever get 1 chest from an event per day regardless how many servers you guest. Thus, guesting does not allow you to exploit any additional chest.
2. Guesting allows people to have a wider range of events to select from. i.e. they are able to save time by being able to guest to another server which has the event closer to the timer. EFFECTIVELY, they’re still only able to do 1 chest per character. So why the sudden surge? It’s not as if guesting for dragons has been something new. In fact, before when chest weren’t limited to one per day, the guesting exploit was actually present because people could repetitively guest to other servers to do dragon chest. The obvious reason is because there are more players on YOUR own server who are doing these events because they’re actually worth doing now.

So what people are really complaining about is that there are TOO many people doing the event that everyone wants to do because of the good loot drops. i.e. good loot drops are making players on their server clust in one location causing there to be more than expected lag. The complainers are saying they should have priority over other players because they come late into the event and the lag and overflow is not allowing them to complete their event for easy loot because guesting is obviously not the sole issue here.

Ppl on TC advertised for PvE, so that’s where Ppl go. Met a few good Ppl on TC to run dungeons with, if there’s another server as pve centric then I would be happy to guest there.

Swing and a miss. I do believe that’s 3 strikes and you’re out. I haven’t used guesting once since it was added to the game.

This guesting overflow issue also denies residents who are trying to do Guild Missions on popular world event maps.

That’s what happens when people advertise your server as the “official pve server”.

You guys asked for it.

Official RP server. Get it right!

Before guesting maybe. But when guesting was added some people were saying that TC was the official pve server, too. At least, it’s been suggested as such in several threads.

I think you’re the one being inconsiderate, considering you’ve been using “fk off” and “fk”. What he is saying is, why do you think you’re so important that it gives you the right to kick someone else who has lined up in an appropriate manner for a spot, was there for the whole event and you just come along in the last minute and push him out? That is like saying, because you’re a citizen, you get priority in line when you’re at KFC over a person who is here on a working VISA or a traveler. Home server or not, there is no debate, the spot goes to the person who arrives first. The only debate is that the server is experiencing lag and it seems that some people don’t have good enough computers to handle it. (you may argue it’s server lag but it’s also because of computer lag that you’re unable to tag the boss because a lot of other people can still tag the boss fine)

“Fk” could mean “freaking kitten off” you know as you know, we here in gw2 forums loves kittens and those freaking kittens are too kitten cute. However, it poses a problem for guild missions too. So I definitely think that the proper guesting procedure is to have an invitation by a friend to guest their server. Since you know, ANet did advertise guesting as “a way to play with your friends on other servers”.

No, no it doesn’t pose a problem for guild missions. Unless your guild is so inconsiderate they start missions without all their people present? I can’t imagine the queue being longer than 5 minutes or anything at all like they are for wv3.

So the real problem here is that you just don’t know how to get to places where you need to be on time and not with guesting.

lol guys, you can not loot more than one event chest per character, per day. Even when guesting. The reason why there are lag and overflows are much more likely to be the influx from players from your own server than it is from guesting.

Anyway.

I read an interesting suggestion earlier which would upset a lot of people but would also fix this issue in a heartbeat.
The dragon (and other) timers could be made COMPLETELY random. So if you are online at the spawn of the pre-event someone could announce it in LA and only those on your home server will attend.

Why would you say we start a mission without our people around? All of us could be ready just that some of us might be in overflow. Not everyone is as free as you to idle around all day waiting

And also the fact that the guild can just not start missions during a peak dragon event time anyways, extremely easy to avoid. (dragons are on a 3 hour timer so you have 3 hours at least to do guild missions and a brief 5 minute window in which you cant (average time most dragon dies nowadays)

You’re just twisting my words to your liking. You very well understood what I meant and I meant that not everyone has the luxury of waiting for an uncertain amount of time. Who knows when the members are able to get out of overflow. Either you’re deliberately twisting my words or your comprehension is really terrible. I hope it’s the former as I’ve tried to word it as simple as possible.

why not just guest on a smaller pop server yourself. JQ and most of the t2-3 servers have healthy pve pops still.
