Guild Wars 2

1. Transparency of current game / world server architecture (specifically WvW). Let us know stuff like server load, how you monitor performance, what’s being done to address performance or lack there of.

2. Give your customers some sense that you are aware of issues and efforts are being made to address them. Issue tracker available for public consumption. Every developer already has this, just make it less granular on an open sub section of your website

3. Stop suppressing commander in map chat, you have no built in voice comms it’s nice to get non guildys in voice comms which is impossible if you’re suppressed when communicating a TS or Vent address

Please don’t nerf this event. For once content that’s not on farm an hour after release. This is refreshing! Failing and learning…what a concept. Open world coordination, communication, cooperation required. More like this ArenaNet!

If you’re on Blackgate ask about the BGTS in map chat

thanks…. your pal, wikkett

If a sever is not selected at character creation the only available option is cancel on world selection screen. Cancel in effect restarts the client. I’m hoping for an anet answer about this since my goal is to be able to leave the home world selection screen open and watch for an opening to join a full server.

Son is trying to get account on Blackgate to participate in WVW.

Question for ArenaNet: Does the initial home world select screen update population automatically?

New account logging in for the first time and have to select our home world. Will the population change while the home world selection screen is up or will I need to restart the client to see an update of the servers population status?

End to culling, nice, hello skill lag, not so nice. Lost untold times in large fights when I’m unable to activate a heal, use an offensive or defensive skill. Server / code update anytime soon? Come to tier one wvw as a regular player, drop the anet tag and run with the zerg for a while and feel the frustration.

Didn’t know about the squad mechanic. That said after trying it you loose a lot of tactical awareness if you can’t see the other commanders on map. Using wVw color would be confusing but using different shades or even different icons same color. Other MMOs do allow marking mobs or toons. Seems like it would be good addition to GW. Would love to figure out who the enemy commander is and mark with skull. Wouldn’t be visible on map just LOS. Thoughts?

New to WvWvW on BG server. Since I’m new to wVw I usually run with the zerg. Find that there are usually multiple commander tags up and sometimes find myself following the wrong Doritos chip around. Nice quality of life change would be to have different color commander tags. Nothing the player would control just the first one would be blue, next red etc… Then it be easy to find find the commander you’re following. Don’t think this would be a great development task to implement

Also had a tough time as 71 Warrior GS/Bow. Took about 15+ attempts to get through to Dragon. Constant spawning of undead mobs, never less than 20 to 30 + three veterans up. Tried using siege weapon but this only reaches parts of the court yard, tactic not effective.

Finally was able to kite acolyte around the courtyard. When I got in trouble ran up stairs to kite the undead swarm. Finally found a stack of boxes to jump on where the swarm would not follow and was able to range the acolyte. Soon as it died all the swarming undead vanished / ran away.

Still think this is bugged! Once i killed the dragon the next phase is to talk with the three representatives from the factions standing around the courtyard. Then finally talk with Trahaerne. On my way to final stage out of no where acolyte veteran spawns with group of 5 undead. Wasn’t paying attention and died but was able to rez at checkpoint and complete.
