Guild Wars 2

I just wanted to say I love the new lobby design! It feels fresh and it’s even more beautiful(er),
Well done ANet!

Agreed. They did a nice job. I like the little areas where you could just lounge around and chill.

Although i still think they should have added dueling (There’s many reasons for this) instead of brawling to the lobby, it’s still an overall better lobby with more things to do than before.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

i bet monsanto is behind this too

Just add a couple pillars and some more room in the FFA arena, spread out the sparring NPCs and this whole area will be solid in my book.

Oh and fix the bugs in the arena and remove the ability to safe spot. Even though the spots aren’t truly safe from attacks, they’re still abusive of what I can only imagine is an unintended mechanic of the arena.

I lost 8 straight heavily stacked matches. The new lobby is cute, but it’s meaningless to me. I’d much rather have even matches.

I like the design. What I don’t like is how close the sparring NPC’s are together. I can’t fight one without ending up 2 or more. Bad design.

I also love the new look and feel of the new PvP lobby. It’s beautiful!

I agree that the sparring NPCs are much too close, as bouncing projectiles will inadvertently aggro them all. However, this may have been intentional to make it more like an actual PvP match.

I would also like to see the sparring NPCs builds updated to at least be one of the default builds you can select for PvP.

So… If you manage to get under the map, do you end up in the original HotM?

Since this map seems to be on top of it?

All brown-nosing aside (you do realize you’re not going to get anything extra for it?), the functionality is horrible. Everything is segregated into pinched-in areas, bank/TP/vendor less accessible and a new extra loading screen or longer walk was added to get from lobby spawn point to LA portal. Sparring NPC’s are totally worthless now to test specific things you may want to test on a specific class. What was wrong with the previous lobby? How is going from wide open areas to cramped spaces an improvement? This was really at the top of the list of priorities? What complaints were addressed by this lobby change? Baffling.

IMO this new design is terrible, I hated it instantly once I saw everything is broken up and much smaller. I prefer the original open design… but I mean why not fix what isn’t broken , imo great use of dev time. /sarcasm on that last part for you daft folk…

I don’t need it bigger than it needs to be. The new PvP Hotm layout gets straight to the point in terms of fighting npcs, Lord, etc. Just wish it wasn’t so dark and gloomy.
