Guild Wars 2

My boyfriend and I started playing WvW when they brought the megaserver to PvE. We used to enjoy map completing, doing events, living story, etc. It was fun to see all the familiar friendly people from Fergusson Crossings, even if we didn’t socialize with them much. Then, in one day… we rarely saw those people again. We were forced onto maps with people “yelling” at one another, cursing and just being rude. So, we thought we’d try WvW out, where we would be with our server mates again! At first it was difficult, but after awhile we got the hang of things. The people of FC were nice to us and helped us out. We had a lot of fun running around with our guild but also roaming with just a party of friends. But then, bad news came… Anet decided to change the WvW maps on us! They were huge, confusing, and dangerous if you had autorun on and looked away! We tried very hard to like the new maps, but we just couldn’t. So, we started playing other things, Fractals/HoT, and noticed many of our guild members just stopped logging on anymore. It started to look like a ghost town in the borderlands, whenever I would stop in. But then… happy news! We were getting our old maps back! The day they came back, I saw so many guild members logging in and returning to WvW. My boyfriend and I returned to WvW as well. It was the best! Until server merging! It’s honestly like being in PvE again. The arguing, harassment, cursing, and hatefulness! And all that lag! It’s awful! There are many people, that chose to be on a lower tier server, so that they can avoid lag. And here anet comes and forces it on them. Not everyone can afford an amazing computer, that won’t lag in huge zergs.

I am happy that there was a poll, to see how people felt on the merging… but I would be curious on how each server feels… not just everyones vote together. Maybe it’s a bit of, high tier servers LOVE it… while low tier servers HATE it. And if that’s the case, then why merge us at all? From what I am hearing, it’s so the low tier servers have more people. But why not try something a bit different. Why not have an free week of server changes? Then if there is anyone who wants to be on a higher tier, they’re welcome to do so, for free. Or if you’re going to insist on forcing the merges… at least merge the lower tiers together, so we’re not forced to play with the hateful people anymore.

Please Anet, redesign so we can move the shared inventory slot where we want it, or make it a standalone type of inventory. For those of us who didn’t want a shared inventory slot, because it didn’t move, it’s extremely frustrating! I like to have all my character’s inventory, a certain way. It’s just a huge annoyance to have this empty spot, I didn’t want, taking up the first slot in my inventory, and pushing the rest of my inventory back a space.

I think you should just move WvW reset, back to when it used to be… Friday 1 hour after daily reset. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that day and time. Saturday’s aren’t working for most people. And Anet lost a lot of WvW players with the time change and also the map changes.

I have done both events so far, and have received no reward. I have screen shots of both times, and reported in game bug and also submitted a ticket. I am honestly tired of not receiving reward for events I have participated in. Fix it or cancel the event.

I vote for account name changes to be available… even if it costs gems to do so. I thought signing up for gw2, that it would be like gw1.. no one would see my account name, just my character names and find me that way. If I had known, I would have used something generic like MusicLover or something.

It’s really sad, that no one has said anything to us about the megaserver. It shows a lot about a company, when they don’t seem to care that their customers are unhappy. I honestly feel like, we went from a game that required some effort.. to a game that a 3 year old could play.

I never really cared much for WvWvW before.. but since the mega-kitten came in to game, it’s the only place I want to play. I don’t like logging in, and immediately see an argument going on in map. I shouldn’t have to turn off map chat, either. I used to LOVE to go to the world boss events, and now.. I can’t go to them.. the severe lag and massive skill casting overload, is too much for me to take.

I really wish they would implement a feature, where I can just be on my home server again, if I would like to.. not automatically be pushed with 100’s of people. I like to have a challenge.. if I wanted EASY, I would go play on Barney.com.

Am I the only one that feels like this is just a containment thread to keep the forums clean of all the complaints?

They don’t respond, they don’t care. I doubt they even read these threads.

Most likely the problems are here to stay and the usual answer applies, as always, “Deal with it!”.

I have to agree. I don’t think they care or will ever care, unless they lost all their players. It’s a shame we can’t have a walk-out or a protest line.

Nar.8327:

Isn’t it obvious? It’s cheaper to create maps as needed. This change had nothing to do with being able to play with more people, it was about saving money. Someone who probably doesn’t even play the game decided that they could save a bunch on server costs by doing this and that the total annihilation of individual server communities was an acceptable loss. Then, they told the marketing team to write up a bunch of posts to convince customers that it was actually about them.

Welcome to everything that is wrong with this industry.

That about sums it up. And it’s sad… because such an amazing game, was turned to kitten.

I would honestly, rather pay a fee per month, than to deal with the awful megaserver system.

I have to agree with those who don’t like the new Megaservers. First, there’s the lag. I have a very good computer, awesome down and upload speed with my cable internet, I even have graphic settings down. I can barely move when there are 100’s of players around me.

Second, the arguing and general bad behavior of a lot of the players, caused by so many being in one area, is ridiculous.

Third, what kind of skill is there needed when there are 100’s of players standing around hitting skill 1? None! The Champion goes down too fast and there is no danger of dying, how is that fun?

Fourth, what’s the point in having home servers, if we’re all thrown into the same server together? Like was said before me, give us a choice. If I was given a choice, I would remain on my home server. No lag, no arguing/fighting, and getting to play around with my skills. I enjoy the challenge of a meta-event, with 10 or so players doing it.

Ticket #466647 – banned for things I have not done.

Firstly let me say that they have lifted the ban on this account. Thank you for that. But I need to know how I was banned for 3rd party programs, when the only things I’ve had running while playing this game are Skype, Steam, Internet Browsers, and Grabilla for screen captures. I would assume this is pretty common for the average Guild Wars 2 player – and none of these programs interacted with Guild Wars 2. I have been asking support for more details such as exactly WHAT program set off their alarms. I don’t think that’s asking too much, so I can avoid using whatever program it is in the future. All I get from support are generic copy-pasted messages.. I wish I could talk directly with a real human, either in Live Chat, PM here on forums, or phone call! I have access to my account, but I am afraid to even play for fear of being banned again for something I did not do. I’m starting to believe someone made a mistake in banning me, and now won’t own up to it and just simply apologize.

As an example, how would you feel to be driving down the road, then pulled over by a policeman who starts to write you up a ticket for not having your seat belt on. But the entire time you’ve been in your car, you’ve had your seat belt on. So, after a review of the situation, the officer decides to let you off with a warning. You would be upset! You didn’t do anything wrong, you were driving accordingly to the law and yet you were found guilty of something you didn’t do, even if let off with a warning.

All I ask is to talk to a real person, who can understand the situation, and help me figure out why I was marked as using 3rd-party programs when I absolutely did not. I have read all the official policies, and have not once broken them.

Please do not mark this as resolved, I honestly just want to play.. and right now, I can’t without worry.

I personally, don’t care if people are running in Champ Trains.. what I do care about, is their behavior. I log on to do my dailies, then move on to Living World, Dungeons, Map uncovering, etc.. and I am tired of being cursed at and called names, because I killed the Champ Bandit, or Troll before the train got there. Last I checked.. I wasn’t required to run in a train. If I get to a Champ and he’s being killed.. I will join in.. if I have enough time, before it’s dead.. I will announce it on map chat, if someone hasn’t already. But as soon as you do.. you get “yelled at” and “cursed at”.

I think a better solution.. may be to increase the times before a Champ appears? Or change up rez times.. 5 minutes for this one.. 10 for that one.. 8 for this.. that way, everyone has an equal opportunity to kill Champs.. and maybe it would cut down on the bad behavior. I know a lot of players who like to solo Champs, increasing/changing up rez time, could allow those who choose to “solo” a chance to take on a Champ.. while the “Champ Train” is killing somewhere else, and it would never interfere with the other.

Either it needs to be changed up in some way.. or they actually need to do something about the bad behavior. It’s not fair to everyone, that some people, can’t just play.. If someone kills a Champ before the train gets to it.. they should just move on to the next, and not say anything.. instead of raging and arguing with those who are just trying to do their dailies/monthlies.

I am having the same issue with Party/Guild/Whisper chat. I keep getting a message saying my firewall may be blocking.. even after my firewall is disabled. So, I am not sure if any of you have had that same issue?
