Guild Wars 2

Have a annoying player who’s already beat HoT final boss rambling on in map chat about how they don’t understand all the complaints about the game, etc…? Do this: Ask them to bring over an alt and play with you in Verdant Brink from the beginning of the map. After about 30-45 minutes of constant defeat due to empty events they will eventually get frustrated. If they say anything at all before departing they may suggest you map explore, do adventures or some other approach which of course they never took since they just traveled with the launch heard and blasted though the content.

They will never admit that the experience of trying to get honest XP now from events is ridiculous and broken due to lack of players and content that is largely not soloable without specific classes and builds.

Of course these players don’t give a kitten about your experience or the game in general. Their feelings towards the new content is entirely based on their experience having played from launch and went hard core for the past five days. That’s all they know or care about and now they get to be the ones who tell the world how great it is. It’s misleading of course. They may never admit it but they will probably stop talking about how amazing it is and they probably won’t play on an alt anytime soon. In the back of their mind they are probably thinking “yep, this is exactly why I blasted though everything for the past five days, sucks to be them”

Empty events? didn’t they fix the megaserver bug?
kitten luck if you still have empty servers

No. Players still focusing in concentrated areas. Some events well populated many completely empty. Mega server is map wide balancing and doesn’t really address players on a map concentrated in specific areas. .

A lot of players are also doing the Halloween events. It was a bad idea for them to release both at the same time. I see massive tons of people in LA just waiting to do mad King says. That being the case though, I have been taking my time and slowly exploring the entire map and you know what? I’m having a lot of fun. And that’s really all that matters.
