Guild Wars 2

I guess I am just us to games having multiple instances to balance the load. Lion’s Arch is a nightmare when I’m not on the overflow so I am so happy to opt out of the queue when there. The overflow thing is much better than at launch but still I’d say I am in overflow FAR more than I am ever on the “real” server/instance/virtual what not.

I don’t see how cities and such will ever not be hurt from overflow though, Lion’s Arch is a perfect example. Everyone cycles through there, you may just be popping through for a moment but some, like myself last night, I just wanted to putz around in WvW but I’d opted out of the queue so it wouldn’t bug me while waiting for friends. I had to jump to another area just to get back in the queue, then wait and wait a bit more to be asked to jump to the “REAL” world just so I could check WvW stats and see if anything interested me or how the war waged.

I appreciate everyone’s perspective, how I’ve managed to not notice this all this time is beyond me. I am always looking at the WvW stats and this was the first time it refused to tell me anything – I guess I’ve just been lucky so far.

Okay, today I went to look at the WvW stats and all that stuff when I’m told you can’t look at that while your on an overflow server.

Why is that important? Why can’t we just be on overflow servers without queuing up? Is there something I’m missing, why is it SO freaking important that I move. Yes I know … you can leave the queue but that seems like a bad idea if you are now being penalized for being on these locations (aka if you want to look at WvW info).

What else can I not see while I’m on this dreaded, harsh, bad version of my world called …. wait for it … overflow!

Seriously, I’m just wanting to understand the reasoning so I can make a better judgement of my location in the game.

With all the details they put into this game they sure fell flat on this one. As they are more than aware, the tiny details truly make things pop. Why they skimped on this is odd. I’d like them synced up and to have better transitions with darker nights (as someone else mentioned above).

I for one love the dynamic events and many other oddities of this game. The Trade Post thing is awful and needs to be trashed but hey, I just ignore it and do my own thing.

As for the events, I was standing in town waiting on a friend who went AFK. After about 15-20 minutes I decide to clean my inventory and do a bit of recoloring. Next thing I know I was being hit by something. Some event had kicked off and things started spawning everywhere.

SO … long story short … the event was bugged, there were not enough players to actually finish it so it kept going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and … some hour or two later we are still fighting this spawn.

I haven’t been in a good fight like that in years of playing MMO’s. I was drained, I’d kept most everyone alive, I’d gotten in a few hits and I even managed to loot a few nice things.

Perspective is everything. I thought I’d hate this game but so far it’s moving up the list and quickly finding a home somewhere around UO and SWG once held for me. There are much worse games out there, MUCH WORSE who have more money and experience behind them … apparently that doesn’t matter much in my opinion, what matters is the fun “I” have.

I haven’t noticed it much in this game. A few places they have a bit of a problem but for the most part it all looks fine. Now the Charr thing is driving me crazy. I’ve tried making two characters so far and end up deleting them both because I feel like they are just doing some bionic man movement thing – I even tried playing that theme music with it and … though hilarious to watch … it didn’t help.

Both is my choice. If you make it for one, make it for both. I’d love to see something either on the phone or even the web so when I’m trying to avoid work and can’t jump in game I can still check in through the “cloud”…..

Yes, please add this. It seems to work okay for a day but only sometimes. I can come back after leaving the site and it will work, yet other times I have to log back in.

I couldn’t find a way to set my default so I guess that isn’t a feature and I’d have to subscribe to each thread? But that’s broken?
