Guild Wars 2

Again with the dogkatkitten resetting with no warning. Maguuma almost had our Keep back in Eternal. Thanks anet.

I noticed that not many people have been posting about this recently? Did we all just give up hope that Arena net can actually come to a logical resolve for announcing new builds?

Or rather the more likely our threads are being deleted by moderators….

Probably the latter, or just a realization that they just don’t really seem to care about much of anything we say. I have lost so much siege from resets like these.

They haven’t really listened to their player base since before release.

That’s not correct. They have. At least twice I know of they have implemented fixes from the playerbase. 1 – Orbs. 2 – Temple of Balthazar

I’m sure there’s more, but they do still listen. Just don’t seem to have enough time to accommodate everyone’s needs all the time.

These server resets lately, I get the feeling its to implement some more fixes. It’s not much more out of that. So they are positive, in a small way. We just don’t know until it comes out.

EDIT: I should add – we don’t know until it comes out and we get communication about why they are doing it. Communication is the key that needs alot of love all the time. There can never be enough. We love to hear from them.

24 hour WvW’s. A reset will screw with something in WvW sometime, since it’s a never ending fight, except 5-10 minutes on Fridays.

Yeah, I mean the problem is not that they have to interupt WvW. It’s more of how abruptly they decide to do so, and even better is when they do it on NA or Oceanic primetime without a heads up.

It’s really not that difficult to add an announcement to WvW maybe even 30 minutes in advance.

I just received “We are doing some maintenance work in 35 minutes. This might affect your connectivity”, beautiful Anet, now use this same method for EVERY new build. (Obvious exception for game breaking glitches/bugs)
Thank you

(Apologies for snipping second half of last sentence, its not relevant to my reply)

This is the crux of it. I don’t think anyone is against applying new builds that fix nasty bugs and exploits, just the manner in which it is delivered without any customer courtesy. There’s been a lot of complaints from players on Gunnars Hold over things like this. Quite often we’ve just deployed a lot of expensive siege just to be informed the server is going down in 3…2…1…
