Guild Wars 2

3 days notice with 0 in game notification is WAY TOO SHORT of a heads up for players.

I’d suspect that maybe at least 50% of wvwers won’t know about this change on Friday and queue up for “reset” 2 hours late.

Anet, please delay this for another week or spam bomb notifications via in game methods so everyone that logs on a wvw map between now and Friday can know about this.

Why?
It is not like it is the end of the world if some people might miss the reset by a hour or two.

All the big time WvW Guilds will know about this (At least they should). It won’t affect anything other than maybe being able to get more organized Guild players in. I know I won’t be able to make it, but I usually can’t make them anyways. Oh well.

no

but it’ll kitten a lot of ppl off that this info can only be found out via word of mouth or by venturing in this very forum and looking at a pinned thread.

pug reaction upon realizing they missed reset by 2 hours:
“why was reset 2 hours earlier?” “anet changed reset time”
“..wtf, how come they didn’t tell us about it? “..they did, 3 days ago in forum”
“…i didn’t see any in game news announcement when i logged in” “…tough luck”

Yea Anet’s idea of a warning is to send out carrier pigeons the night before a big change.

I don’t see how this is a big issue. Anyone who pays a good amount of attention to WvW will likely already know. Those who don’t pay enough attention to know probably won’t get upset about it unless they are the type of person who just likes to complain. In which case that can’t really be helped.

If you are so concerned, start spreading the word on your server and get friends/guildies to do the same.

People that actually care about stuff will visit the forums, or at least pay attention to what is said ingame (it is talked about quite a bit both in WvW and LA on my server). Those that would have missed this information are those that don’t really care about the reset anyway. Those that do, make sure they stay up to date with the changes.

WvW guilds will all know about it, but it doesn’t leave a lot of time for guilds and servers to figure out an alternate course of action. Majority of the fun on reset night comes from coordinating that big initial push and taking the field with the rest of your guild/allies.

This new reset time is probably going to interfere with the plans of about 50% of the NA players who used to show up before.

And this coordination and planning is what is unique about WvW. On non-reset nights we get guild/pug zerging, with some opportunity for small group work.

As I always say in these threads when Anet does something dumb, ESO is releasing later this year…

You are a silly person.

If the time actually doesn’t change to people and their QQ posts I may actually just quit this game.
Euro players have been waiting for this day and literally thousands of them are celebrating for it.
Go read the German and French forums if you don’t believe me :/

I’m not saying “change the reset back to where it was”

I’m saying “get your kitten together Anet and advertise a major change with more than a 3 day warning using only 1 forum”

DONT delay it.
Its a great change that will benefit many many people.
