Guild Wars 2

This is the 2nd time in a week, 6am PST where Sh. (trying to find an abbreviation that isn’t kittened, I’m not going to type out ererererererer every time, but will gladly stop and type all this out in hyberbolic exasperation at the sillyness of not being able to abbreviate his name without ‘erer’ on the end) has not started after doing the collection and escort quickly.

Someone mentioned that if you don’t escort the collection NPCs all the way back to town, it won’t start? If that is true, that is kinda crazy. In our 15 min windows, it just takes too long, it’s dead space. That needs to be fixed.

Of course you have to finish the pre-events… they can be done by a single player, unfortunetly they are often scaled up by 100 players thinking “naaaaah… someone else will do that” and then everyone wonder why theres no dragon coming.

It could be a case of people just not bothering to finish the pre-events in a timely fashion. I mean, if people just ignore the pre-events until the last 5 minutes, then the events and NPCs won’t finish/make it to their locations in time.

Also, the only escort that has to be done is the one where you escort the group of charr to the Shatterer starting area (“Escort the Sentinel squad to the Vigil camp”). The collection event ("Collect siege weapon pieces . . . ") ends when the collection is done; the NPCs run to the Shatterer area on their own and don’t need to be escorted, and you don’t have to do anything with them after the boss event is over, either.

A long time ago, the chain would occasionally stall before the pre-events even began; luckily, this was eventually fixed. So, I’m not sure what could be stalling the boss event now. I guess just make sure you bug report it anytime you encounter it in-game, and try to take note of what happens before it gets to the point where it stalls.

A friend of mine has been finishing up achievements late Pacific time and it’s spawned successfully each time (for whatever that’s worth).

@OP: for alternative names that pass the [kitten] filter, what about:

• Shatnerer
• Shafterer (because there’s even less loot to complain about)
• Sha’erer (although, per above, dude doesn’t share nearly enough)
