Guild Wars 2

Sylv.6514:

The character slot isn’t the problem at all. Adding a character slot to the cost wouldn’t change my mind. I could easily just buy more slots with gold. The problem here is $50 isn’t worth it and new players are being rewarded with way more for the price than veteran players. That is what is unacceptable.

Char slot might not be the problem for you, but it is for me.

Personally I’m not really concerned with looking over the shoulder and comparing with what new players get. I simply look at what value I get for the money, and in this case quickly conclude that it’s a no deal.

50 dollars/euro is a bit of a stretch and a wee bit more than I had expected, but that was about my stretch limit of what I was prepared to pay for it. But… that doesn’t even give me a character slot to play one of the bigger parts of the expansion. Clearly I’m supposed to get the deluxe version for that kind of luxury. So instead, it’s effectively 75 bucks for an expansion… Sorry, I don’t mind supporting future development of the game and all that, but this is waaaaaaay over the top.

With 5 G he meant 5 GB

Ahh right, I see that now… I got it mixed up due to the post right before mine.
In any case, it’s not unlikely that the surfing stick he gets will be 4G (with a monthly limit of 5 GB…), so what I posted is still at least somewhat relevant. I was basically trying to say that under normal circumstances, there shouldn’t be any need to be too worried about connection quality.

5G is still in research stage and will probably not be in commercial devices for another bunch of years. I’m guessing you meant 4G ;-)

From a quality standpoint, you should be just fine. You might get some minor hiccups if you’re in an area with weak signal, or in a busy area, or moving around, but other than that it should work fine. I’ve experienced cruddy old ADSL connections that perform far worse than 4G.

Basically same as others.
From Sweden, playing on Desolation.
Playing during prime-time has been quite impossible the last week or so.
Disconnects, 10-20 second lagg spikes, stuck during login, stuck on loading screen, etc.

No connectivity issues at all with any other games or applications.

This shouldn’t be account bound or character bound. It shouldn’t be there at all.

GW gameplay was always about rewarding people for clever play, not for time spent in game. Or at least, so I was told. This is yet another step far away from that mindset, and one that will push me further away from wvw (and probably the game altogether) rather than drag me into it.

On top of that, I play every profession depending on mood of the day and what’s needed at the moment (as of now, 6/8 are lvl 80). Which there will now be a game mechanic to discourage me from doing.

Bleh.
