Guild Wars 2

Guesting was a bad idea… I do not even see the perks. DO you guys not assume that most people who want to play together already are? It is sad, the in game events were just beginning to have some stability but now I rarely even encounter a major in game event. Instead I am constantly shoved into an over flow server. I know I can reach the event by grouping with someone who is doing it but this makes it such a process. I no longer get a sense of anything happening in the world; instead I feel like I couldn’t get into a concert because the theater was too packed and I am outside smoking with the rest of the unfortunate people. Please find a way to resolve this… I am trying my best to stay with this game..

Hey, just here to give you guys a bit more of my two sense. My initial feedback mentioned the obvious bugs and what not that had hindered the events fluidity. Something I did not mention was the new dungeon, the fractals of the mist; this is because I had only yet completed lvl one. Now that I have experienced a number of the different mini dungeons I have formed an opinion. The new dungeon is amazing, the visuals are grand and the fights are exciting. The puzzles within the dungeon are difficult but once they are completed you feel closer to your party members. The vertical nature of some of the dungeons is one of the most enjoyable parts. I loved freeing that giant searing man from his mountainside prison. All in all the dungeon makes up for a lot of the mishaps of the event and I do not want it to seem unappreciated. You guys are trying at something difficult, these constant events, and I understand it is risky when it comes to stability. I know WoW kept to the same halloween event for near a decade because the feared the consequences of changing it. I hope what happened during this event showed you guys areas of content creation that need a closer look and hope that though this content update had its flawed the trial and error nature of your project improves because of it. Good luck Arena net, I’m rooting for you.

Ok. So this is the first time I have actually replied to ANY thread on this forum since Beta. And here’s what I have to say about this “lost thread”:

I stayed up until 7am one morning reading all of the feedback about Lost Shores. Hundreds of comments, mostly negative, on more than 200 pages. And you expect us to believe they magically disappeared? Others may believe it – however, I am not so easily convinced. How shameful and transparent.

Yeah, it is really lame.

I guess this is why WoW could not provide frequent and unique updates despite claiming 15 of hours dollars a month…

To start, I love Guild Wars 2. It is overall a great game and very fun to play. I am however dissapointed by the Lost Shores event, despite being one of the lucky ones who actually got to loot the chest in the end. As everyone know this event took place over 3 days, a weekend. I was not willing to call out of work for the 3 days so I created a mental schedule which would allow me to complete the event entirely. I was very dissapointed when on day one bugs prevented me from doing any of the event. Even more dissapointing these errors persisted into day two and did not get a fixed until 4pm. The escort quests I took part in on the new lost shores zone bugged midway through causing them to be nothing more than time sinks. I know I do not have to mention the fact that the larger monsters did not drop a thing. I did manage to kill the ancient karka without dying, though it did take over 3 hours on the overflow server I was on and I, in the end, had to have my girlfriend complete the event for me being I had to head into work. I know for those who read this you’ll conclude that I was one of the lucky ones, which I am being I did recieve my reward. My complaint does not stem from the dissapointment of not recieving loot, it comes from the unpleasant nature of the event. At no point could I relax and enjoy what the new content had to offer being I had a corrupt timer floating above my head. The event made me feel tense, but not because LA was being invaded by giant crabs. It was tense because I spent the event wondering if it would ever work, or if I was missing one of the brief bug free moments when I was not signed on. I am honestly suprised that I managed to complete anything and what I did managed to do seemed to have no order or reason being it was cut with a bunch of bugs; bugs that became more notable than the actual event. The most fun time I had was telling “Noll” jokes with others who were waiting to progress. I hope arenanet is able to cordinate these events being they are one of their key promises to the players. This event leaves me with doubts being it was the first non-holiday event and it provides a good idea of how future events will unfold.

Hey all, due to a glitch in our forum software, when merging two threads, the original Feedback Thread was lost to the ether. It is not our intention to remove threads with legitimate player feedback. We value what you have to say, both positive and negative (as long as it is said in a polite and respectful manner).

That said, please use this thread for your general feedback. The thread will remain stickied for ease of posting and viewing.

Again, please accept our apologies on the loss of the previous thread.

That’s what they all say.
