Found a fix. If anyone has this issue with nvidia card, it is because the ambient occlusion setting is glitching the game up. SO go into your panel and turn it off for gw2. Cheers.
I never noticed this happening until now and im not sure if its just in Wayfarer foothills but today I’ve been experiencing some flickering and find out its my camera doing it everytime i aim it at the ground. I attached images to show you how i can see through maps and this constantly goes on and off as i walk with the camera a certain way. If anyone know whats causing this please let me know.
I don’t think one-time events should give other rewards than the event itself…
At Halloween Anet did really a great job -> 1-time event wich was worth watching without greater reward + a dungeon who stayed up for some time giving a minor reward the first time you completed it.
Know it gives a event chain wich is very rewarding on itself ( without end rewards, cool mechanics + bragging rights). BUT at the end it gives lots of goodies (20-slot bag(value 10 gold), very nice accesory, 2 rares and 2 exotics) It’s a little overkill compared to the only other 1-time event and it’s real sad for all the people who didn’t get it.
So please, next time just keep the event and skip the rewards ( you’ll have less qq) and as i already said before, the event is more than rewarding enough on itself.
My 2 cents
Not if the event itself takes 3 hour slots of peoples lives. If the events were shorter, such as a 10 minute fight, then sure.
the instance is the boss. de’s would be stuff leading up to the opening of the instance
Yeah but then you lose the awesomeness of a huge pack of people bringing the thing down. I would rather world bosses personally.
But then you get qq rages like the 50 that just got posted in this last hour.
True, but there is a middle ground. It is possible.
10-20 man instance for the event only.
What about a bit like how the clocktower thing was handled. We were all just distributed into random instances and ANet was able to determine the minimum/maximum. Something like that might work, but I do think more than 5. I think at least 20; but that’s just personal preference.
I still think running the world event several times is as effective though.
Anything that safeguards against the disconnects and chest looting. By making it instanced, if you disconnect, you can easily get back in with a party. If you have a 10-20 man team, you still get that level of epic battleness. The clearing up to the event can be like what was done for phase 2, Columbus style DE’s.
Anyways, despite the rage, Arenanet is actually a company that understands what iteration and design change constitute. They do make mistakes…. like every other developer, and despite the qq, this wasn’t DLC paid content. This is also their second one time event. They got wintersday up next and alot of time in between to test out a different way of approaching it.
I do sympathize with those who spent 3 hours and got nothing. I dced near the end too and was scrambling messaging my guildmates who were on an overflow that was still fighting the karka because the overflow i got on had nothing happening when i relogged.
They can do one time events, but doing massive server wide invovlement vents is a recipe to get this kind of things happen especially if it is a world boss. They should’ve made an instance like mad king but a one time only thing that you have to complete on the day. You get to experience cutscenes and everything and safeguard yourself from the lagfest and dcs. The concept was good, but reality of servers just destroys the idea.
