Why Anet… you had it just right, and you messed it up. Doing dailies in the PvP solo arena made me actually feel like doing some PvP. Get in the heart of the mists, run over to the tournament browser, click join solo, wait a minute or two, and then be in and going. It didn’t really matter if I won or lost, so long as I had a chance if I won to get that chest. That chest was the only thing actually worth playing for in PvP. A short while later and 3 games in and I was done with my PvP daily, and ready to go do other things. Now… now it’s a kittening nightmare. Get in, que up, can’t click on the PvP icon trophy at the top to know if I’m still even qued up or not anymore, have to run over to the stand itself to see if it’s even putting a team together for me, which I like checking because 7 minutes in and you kinda wonder what the kitten is going on over there. Decide after 8 minutes of being qued to join the regular browser games, have to hop in and out of games to find one I can even kittening join in right away on, find a game and start playing when BLAM the que ends and it wants me to join a game. Go into the game and find myself facing a bunch of people wearing the same guild tag who roflstomp us 500 to 100 with myself as top player on my team that was down a man so we’re 4 strangers vs 5 organized team players. Que up again in the solo arena tourny browser because I’m willing to give it another shot. 8 minutes of waiting later and I can’t stand it anymore, I decide today that it’s not worth getting my daily and that random piece of forge crap and my glory booster that will sit on top the pile of my 200 other glory boosters. Run, talk to tournament stand to click disband because I can’t for some uknown reason to mankind do it now from my PvP icon at the top. Was fairly confident I clicked all the right buttons to get of being qued for a game, and decide to go enjoy the ever rewarding PvE areas of the game. 5 minutes later (making my wait time a total of 13 minutes where it used to only take 1 to 2) I’m right in the middle of a boss battle and wtf happens? My screen is displaying the Go Now or Wait options I was pretty sure I wasn’t going to see because I LEFT PVP AREA AND I CLICKED DISBAND ON THE SOLO ARENA AND I DON’T WANT TO PVP ANYMORE ESSPECIALLY WITH THIS LOOT FILLED BOSS INFRONT OF ME… but no, there’s nothing I can do and it sucks me into the game. Well, somehow we win the game and when we get back to the mists I discover they cut the costs of winning by 50 glory and rank. That decreased win reward is a slap in the face after all that, a pure and simple unwarranted slap to the face. THERE IS NO REWARD FOR DOING PVP Anet. 0, let me clarify, ZERO! reward for your PvP area… so why cut the rank or glory from winning a tournament game? It’s all ready hard enough getting rank, why make it any harder? Why would I ever grind out a million hours to get rank when it’s useless to me? I can’t sell rank on the TP, I can’t use rank to get items to sell on the TP, I can’t do anything with it. Same is true with glory. How can one farm the tournament solo arena when there is nothing to farm except rank which NEEDS A WAY TO FARM because of how long it takes to get. The only thing I could possibly be trying to farm would be unidentified dyes, which is a joke and a troll on your behalf because your rep before launch said dyes would be account bound, and now they’re not only character bound, but also PvP/PvE bound too? Wtf, why!!!!!? Your rep on the other post I saw concerning this topic said to give this new PvP system a while to settle down, well guess what… NOOOOOOOOOOO. I’m not putting my self through the stress of what happened today again, especially when all the other posts on this topic say the same thing about massive amount of wait time to get into solo games.
A company can’t exist without the people that buy the product. The people who buy the product and experience the product from the users end should ALWAYS have a say. It’s a mutual relationship, makers and buyers. What kind of business philosophy do you stand behind? Maybe you should move to North Korea if you enjoy having no say in anything you do.
Games like Planet Side 2 have what’s called a test server, where players can go in and test the content that’s up and coming. This is a pretty good way for SOE to make sure they can work out all the kinks and flaws of new content so it doesn’t wind up in the content upon release. Not only that, but they can see how players will react to the new content, and make changes based upon real players’ critiques. It’s really frustrating dealing with all the flaws in the new content of GW, and what’s worse is when they stop and patch every 5 minutes afterwards to correct all the mistakes. I have a great suggestion to fix your problems Anet and NCSOFT, why don’t you make a test server that’s free to transfer to, and host all the new content like a month before official release. No prizes, no rewards, no loot, just the ability to see what’s up and coming so we can give feedback and you can hammer out all the kinks.

I’m not the only one that has this sentiment.
i aggree they are fustrating and not alot of fun when they get too difficult but i wudnt call them lazy programming by any means, i could even learn to like them with a few small changes, like free way points to tele to when i get a certain way through like a checkpoint, or not putting enemies in the jumping puzzles because we both know that making them attack me and thus making me move slower so i cant jump anywhere is BULLlllllll
That might work out with the check points. And I totally agree, Anet should have thought about the other systems they put in place like their camera angles and slowing down in combat before depending on Jump Puzzles to serve as such a larger portion of their gameplay. Maybe JPs wouldn’t be soooo bad if they got rid of slowing down in combat (which I suggest they remove entirely as a game mechanic because it serves 0 purpose and is more frustrating than anything)
I have a great suggestion. Please stop putting Jump Puzzles in your game. They are too frustrating to complete. I know a bunch of Anet fanbois are going to include in the comment section below “But we love JPs, they’re great fun”. Well, let me give you a more accurate portrait of what your players think about your jump puzzles. I have not met 1 single person in game who enjoys them. Not a single one. My guild hates them, my gf hates them because her computer can’t make quick precise jumps. The people in there trying to complete them hate them. They’re annoying, and they’re lazy programming because you should be putting real content in your game like dungeons or actual puzzles. I write this as I sit in your new Kites Over Celadon JP, which you made just about as bad as the Mad King’s Clock Tower. Look Anet, seriously, cut it out with the jump puzzles all ready and listen to your fan base.
Wait, there’s good racial elites? I’ve not come across a situation where it’d be better to not use your profession’s elite
I use my Asura’s robots ALL the time. They put up huge amounts of damage with a 180s cooldown (not so bad for the amount of damage they do). I don’t know why other races have such useless elites. This post has a legit point, I have a norn warrior at 80 and the norn’s transformations suck. Period. NEVER have a viable playability. With all the nerfs and buffs and whatnot, them not changing things that never get played is sort of ridiculous. So they can give me a new sword skill, but not a more useful elite?
I would like to suggest that the bank system get a rework. Over the past few days, I’ve had my bank maxed out by the constant item bombardment from the new achievement chests. In the patch notes, you also say that you’ll be releasing a lot of new account bound items… so where will those items go? I don’t want to have to pay gold constantly because of you flooding me with items, and I’d still like to keep these items as well. Can you add a section in the collection area for badges of honor? Can you add a section in the collection area for all the bank express/merchant express/tp express items too? Repair canisters/transmutation stones/revive orbs? You know what would improve life for all of your players? Giving us a place in the collection area to put dungeon tokens. It’s no fun running a dungeon if you have no place to put the tokens. You know what never made any sense? Not giving us an area in the collection section for unopened BL chests. And lastly, one more suggestion that would GREATLY improve the quality of life for every player in the game… making the amount of items able to be stored infinite instead of capping at 250. Some items can get to 250 exceedingly quick, and then what? Maybe I don’t want to go give them to the new conversion merchant . Maybe I just want to keep them? I appreciate you trying to give us new content all the time, but there are still massive gaps in the quality of the old content that you never really took the time to address. Please fix the collection/banking system.
