Guild Wars 2

Got really excited about seeing & playing the new content, but on logging in to my account, there was a Beta login character block ok, but there was no ability to create revenant & no access to HoT….it just created a standard character…talk about hype!!??!!!

Early days, GW gave good gaming to the community…..These days…….they seem to be thinking.. “meh…give them any old stuff & they’ll swallow it”…not much respect/support for the community that play the game…getting tired of that…

The beta stress tests were yesterday.

Sorry dude you missed it
We don’t know when future ones will be.

We do know there will be more, possibly longer and more involved. The email and the forums were chock full of information as to the two two-hour time blocks the stress test would run, there were people posting countdown timers, etc.

So just take a little time to eyeball the forums now and then, you don’t even have to read the threads, there will be thread titles indicating a new beta time.

I got selected but missed it. I had class during the first test and was asleep during the second. Was kinda glad I got an invitation to begin with. Bummed I couldn’t participate, but such is life.

What’s the matter?
HOT beta gave you the COLD shoulder.

You know, OP, you could come to the forum and ask. Not post something like “Early days, GW gave good gaming to the community…..These days…….they seem to be thinking.. “meh…give them any old stuff & they’ll swallow it”…not much respect/support for the community that play the game…getting tired of that…” which shows you don’t know when the beta was and that you immediately rushed to judgement.

I was going to mention it being funny that the OP made this long winded speech placing the blame on Anet when it was actually he, himself, that was unable to figure out when the stress test was, but Just a flesh wound beat me to it.

a clear date with a reminder would be the least Anet could’ve done, he clearly missed it because of a messy schedule on Anet’s part.
and yes, the last part was called for, Anet is allot worse then, say, 7 years ago.

Should there be a /s on that, sorudo? In what way was the schedule “messy?” They sent an email on March 20 that in a fairly large font in its first paragraph said “Congratulations! As one of our most loyal players, we value your feedback. We want to invite you to join us on March 24 to stress test Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns™* and find out what you think.” And soon thereafter, “The stress test is scheduled for Tuesday, March 24 from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Pacific and 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Pacific.” Followed by precise directions on how to participate.

They did not change the scheduled date or postpone the start of either session. This forum was full of people lambasting the “most loyal” phrasing, other people posting screen shots of the email, yet more people asking for time zone conversions … the date was clear. What sort of reminder does one need when it’s only four days? That was the notice. And everyone that got it could mentally note “Stress beta is this coming Tuesday.”

Some people didn’t get the email due to spam filters or other issues, but they still got the slot on their character select screen. Which caused more forum posts (and those clued me in, as I have 17 slots and seldom click all the way over to the end).

ANet was not at all “messy” in this. The OP simply paid no attention at all.

What Donari said 100%. People like you are ridiculous. Did you want them to drop by your house and ring the doorbell to let you know the stress test was starting? The email was clear and thousands of people seemed to be able to figure it out with 0 trouble.

this Thread is so funny =D OP NEVER postet in the forums but instantly rage-flamed ArenaNet because he was not able to read the Stress-Test-invitation =D
trolls will never extinct i think
