Guild Wars 2

I think I will leave this game until significant changes are made to this system. It now requires to much work to get multiple characters fully ‘unlocked’ the one really cool thing this game had going for it was that leveling and having alternate characters was fun, and easy so you could keep the game fresh by playing whichever character you were in the mood for each day. Now if I want the New traits I have to do the same GROUP EVENT on every one of them, I have 6 level 80 characters and two that were leveling. that’s 8 times on an event that I’ve only ever even seen completed ONCE right after launch not because it isn’t attempted, but because there are not enough people willing to help with it. perhaps more importantly I’d have to wait several hours (at least) between attempts on each different character. I never really liked the lag fest that where the larger group events in this game anyhow because it was so hard to tell what was going on due to lag. and now in order to be able to effectively unlock a single character’s skill takes a grind that’s on par with map completion assumeing you’re leveling from 1 to 80. and if you want to buy your skills when good luck to anyone just starting out because it will take you at least two months of play time to get the skill points and gold for it (where you could easily do it just by leveling your character before).

In short this change was done poorly as I feared it would be. So poorly, that I’ve lost all interest I previously had in the game. Best of luck to all who stay and here’s hoping against hope that they realize their mistake and rethink the system.

yeah it’s not working for me either. seams like the patch broke chat for a large number of players. I can type in chat but when I go to enter it it’s not shown for anyone. which is really annoying there is no reason to play an MMO if you cannot communicate with your allies.

I have the same issue, however the Ticking noise continues in game and is not tied to the background music. I tried muting the sound for my game but the ticking is still there.
