Guild Wars 2

It only took them 6 months but the PvE event is finally removed from the game. No more easy nightcap via oasis.

Why are there no devs posting it on this subforum?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NO MORE LAG OR PVE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I LOVE YO GUNNER MORTON

I cant believe it they finally removed it, my skills might actually work now, and I can actually know where my toon is!

IT’S LIKE CHRISTMAS

Maybe it’s on reddit. Thanks for posting it though – I did read the patch notes but somehow missed it.

ETA: Oh, I missed it because it’s also not in the patch notes. Weird.

It’s WvW related. It would never be on the forums

Omg it finally happen :O

After months of borderlands freezing whilst the event were going. All we could do was standing there looking at each other wondering who would get one skill off first. After 10 sec or so it could happen….
Strange it was no announced since this is something we asked for since new borders came out and we realized how much lag it created. This is good news, we need good news.

Maybe there’s hope for WvW after all.

Finally, a smart move.

Of course, there’s no news since nobody actually plays the borderlands.

In all seriousness, bye Oasis event, don’t come back and make sure the door hits you on the way out.

it was talked about in the bug section

6 months vs other features removal after complains by PvE or sPvP communities, it’s pretty pathetic.

I dunno, I’m on GH server and I have never heard anyone cry out lag, and this was good because it bought fights for us.

The oasis event was 99/100 times won by the group that had money people in the oasis. It really wasn’t a great comeback mechanic. Anyways glad its gone since it was one of the big demands.

The Oasis Event was fun and did bring some good fights for us as well. But, I have to agree with the fact it didn’t work really well as a comeback mechanic. More often than not we would see the team with the biggest numbers win it easily, making their assault even more aggressive.

It’s an interesting move and it makes me wonder, what’s to fill now this map’s center mechanic? Because something has to.

Something dynamic as what the Alpine ruins provided would be fun, a mechanic which with you could interact whenever you felt like it and help your server in the process. Personally, I’d love something very similar to the Alpine ruins but instead of giving your server +stats, giving important navigational advantages to get much faster to places, that would be something to fight over and control. Anyways, just rambling now, but really excited about what’s to come for WvW.

Where did you find this information? I did not see this in the patch notes?

But I am happy if the Oasis event is gone. It created so massive lag sometimes that it made the entire map unplayable (it did not matter if you were far from the event).

Money people? I am sorry but what the heck are you talking about????

More instead of money. He might have had the broker’s autocorrect.

Yeah that was a typo sorry. Bigger numbers ended up winning the oasis event since it really wasn’t that hard to show up to every spawning dino.

And nothing of value was lost. Good riddance.

This is a great, and much requested change! But, ANET missed an opportunity to share a little bit of good news to the WvW community with this change by not posting it on the WvW forums. I just… can’t… figure out why they didn’t think to mention it in the WvW forums.

Read the follow up post. Here’s the best part of it:

Dara Potocska.8196:

Rather than making many players suffer longer under the performance issues while we continue to look for a fix that works, the decision was made as a team to disable the event. And as the guild mission was tied to this event and had been experiencing issues, we took it out of the rotations till both our teams (WvW and Guilds) can see to it being fixed. I cannot offer an eta for a fix at this time.

So they disabled it and are working on fixing the lag and bugged guild mission. Right now, they’re planning on bringing it back once they’ve fixed those problems…

Gunner Morton.8340:

Given the tone of the posts in this subformum would you want to respond to any of it. I think that people have a right to air their grievances, but don’t expect a dev to show up so you can tell them personally how crappy a job they are doing.

I’m confident they are reading it but there is no value in commenting on anything at this point.

They shouldn’t shy away from posting because of a few bad seeds. One of the main reasons for the majority of the negative posts is the lack of communication.

They’ll need a strong backbone to get through the first week or so of openly communicating but once the angrier posters are satiated (and mods delete the actual insult posts) then progress can be made.

“There’s no point in posting because people will say negative things” is a terrible attitude to have and will get us all nowhere.

Frankly, I’m disappointed that such a draconian measure was implemented rather than something more subtle.

Siegerazer was fine, not this, it took too long to realize it was broken, just like the Guild Claming buffs when you claim SM.

I’m fairly certain if they hopped in to the middle of the storm of “why are you killing WvW” posts it would degenerate into Dev vs Forum in a hurry.

They are reading the suggestions and ignoring histrionic outbursts.

Of course it would, but what I’m saying is that after a week or so those kinds of posts will die down. They have pretty decent moderators at work here to counter the influx of petty posts.

Right now the main concern of WvW players is that this overhaul might ruin WvW somehow, the devs addressing those concerns and interacting openly could alleviate that considerably.

A week of potentially crap posts and hurt feelings is worth it if we can get some decent direct involvement in the progression of this overhaul.

A decently involved CDI thread for each of the pieces of the overhaul that they’re closest to being able to release will contain in in specific places and avoid duplicate posts.

Decent team of moderators ? Also aren’t you discussing their actions which I have been infracted for multiple times? They could do that you know. It says so in that document they link all the time.

From what I’ve seen they tend to cull messages that are against the forum rules pretty quickly and reinstate posts that they delete mistakenly. On that front they’re pretty efficient.

Yes, people get infracted. I’m not sure what you were infracted for but I know for sure I’ve been infracted many times before.

Nice! its one way in the right direction!!! now just get rid of the new maps aswell

Thank god they took this out!

This was my ONLY gripe from HoT about WvW!

Nothing wrong with the new maps actually, once you know how to get around.

Oh, that’s good news! It gives everybody a chance to kitten how better/worse the game is now whilst giving Arenanet the option of re-implementing it should the players prefer the game that way. I think it would be prudent to look at metrics rather than forumwarrior feedback, though.

They’ll need to view the forums/reddit for feedback on gameplay without the event though. Without a replacement event to compare it to, they won’t be able to compare in game metrics.

Is this a good thing? In the 2.5 hours of WvW I’ve played since the new BLs came out, I never saw this happen.

^this^

Folks just be too dumb and or too lazy to go to them. I have another post floating around here somewhere that covers that part very well. At least on my own server, the “EXCUSE” I’ve seen all too much is “I don’t know that map” . >.< .

Because yea, you were born knowing the OTHER BL maps right >.<

If these LAZY players would take the time to LEARN THE NEW MAPS, they would actually enjoy them kitten many others already are. So insert the “too lazy a/o too dumb” (as someone else put it as they referred to my post)…

THIS is the true reason people “don’t like the new maps” – it has NOTHING to do with the maps actually being bad! It has to do with THEM being bad! (IE; "too dumb and/or too lazy)…

These new maps are actually QUITE nice, if you’d effing give them the chance!

You’re on AR, dead server as mine. Apparently you haven’t read all the posts about the lag that event generated when it starts when the map has some population?

I do tend to ignore anything anyone says about any game when it comes to “lag”. Since I have a very very high end gaming PC, and an internet connection to boot – lag is never an issue for me, and if it WAS – then I’d KNOW it wasn’t anything I could do anything about…

Was this “lag” something that WAS ANets fault, or most players problem for attempting to play on a PC that’s too low end? I have to ask because 99.999% of the time I hear something about “lag” it’s coming from someone trying to play on a friggin laptop with an integrated Intel gfx chipset (on dial up to boot >.>) ROFLCOPTER!

Only partially true – there are many causes of lag. 1. Your PC. 2. Your Connection. 3. A.Net and the most ignored part 4. YOUR ISP. If your ISP has many jumps to A.Net, then one of those jumps can cause lag and lag spikes. I feel 4 is one of the biggest problems and ignored the most by players.

Let me see if I can explain it better:
99.999999% of the time you will not experience lag from this event Solo’ing the DBL….Better?

That is actually unlikely, when devs have posted in here I have rarely seen a negative response. There may be constructive criticism but not without suggestions as to how to fix the problems.

Usually the response from players has been very positive and polite.

A huge reason for the negativity here is that the devs rarely if ever post, which leads to people becoming negative and caustic.

Then these forums, although not the worst I have seen, are pretty kittened. I suspect the programmers may have drank Duff beer. They need some work done or replaced with better forum software.

Nice, Oasis event was fixed.

Thank you for removing this Anet.. now we can play wvw better. . better still.. remove all those knockback dinos from the centre and rolly polly ones.. so we can actually run through the oasis quickly to defend a tower…..

I know the event was supposed to be helpful, but it backfired.. and helped nightcapping enormously.. we are better off without it.. forever.
