Guild Wars 2

It’s been two weeks now since the event to retake Penitent Camp stalled on the Piken Square server. I know that bug reports have been filed but every day when I go back the event is still at 75% completion, waves of risen keep coming but the camp never gets any closer to being finished. It’s great for people who want to farm mob drops, low risk and high reward and all that … but a bit frustrating for those of us wanting to do the events. Of course this also blocks the entire chain from Penitent on through, none of the events or chains are active that are connected to the Penitent sequence.

Look around this subforum, it’s full of bugs that have been stalled since the last server restarts. The list of such bugs is very long. There’s a basic design fault in that the events do not reset if they go wrong and the GMs can’t do it manually, or so I am told. Just pray for a restart.

I don’t understand why the focus in so heavily on new features and content when there are such problems in game, maybe my priorities are wrong.. perhaps a survey on which players would like to see given priority, fixes or new features.. i’d vote fixes

Maybe someone from the Guild Wars 2 team could explain where their resources are targetted ?

It’s fairly typical of MMO developers to fail to correct “old” problems, maybe they’re too boring to bother with, maybe the juniors do not pass on the info to their seniors. But I really can’t understand it. If they fix them now then for the life of the game they don’t have to answer questions/avoid comments on why their game is broken. Can you imagine a reviewer going through the early levels with a copy of the wiki, a fairly empty zone and a few days after a reset. It would be ridiculous.

Don’t expect any great explanation, they’re only interested talking about the new stuff, imho.
