Guild Wars 2

Today I logged in first time since the news about ascended gear. Only had enough energy to finish my daily and logged of after an hour. So the answer is no.

I even only have one exotic weapon till now. So that’s not the reason. I came to the conclusion that I lost my GW2 fun because I really thougth GW2 would be a different game, a game without the power creep.

And even worse I believed Anet I really thaugth they are different from other game developers. I thought they did tell us the truth when they said : Best gear will be exotics and legendary will have same stats with nice skins.

It’s obvious they had other goals since some time already. “Lost shores” wasn’t developed in a day. So my trust in Anet is gone and I will probably quit. Whatever that means in a game without subscription.

I would not say that dungeons in general are to hard. But they have severe issues.

- They had those severe zoning/group issues. That was a bad start so probably many people avoided them since then. I know I did. But that was not the only reason.
- They have no real progression. Actually it is more like an inverse progression. If you want to do AC with level 35 with your leveling gear it is much harder than for a level 80 in master/rare gear.
- They lack in some parts any indication of danger. If you are new to a dungeon this might get frustrating.

For any PuG/not max level groups with no voice system they can be really hard and most of the time definately no fun.

It looks like even Anet realizes that dungeons are not used as much as they want. So unfortunately they made them a reuqirement for the november monthly achievements so people play them more often.

I will probably do 5 story mode runs and leave them alone again.

Server Elonafels
Dungeons: Lvl 30 and lvl 40 story mode
5 man guild group
One last week, one today, prime time

Symptoms are always the same. We get 4 man in. 5th gets into his own seperate instance. We tried everything, relogging, regrouping, all same shard instance. Didn’t help.

Guess: Server handling instance requests is overloaded. This only seems to happen when many people try to run an instance.

Please fix asap. This is killing group play.
Thx.
