Guild Wars 2

smhtjoa.7159:

Difficulty aside, you are suddenly required to find a group to finish a solo journey. I’ve had some pretty frustrating, even unpleasant, experiences with PUGs via LFG. It’s always luck of the draw who you end up with. Many are running it for the gazillionth time and assume you are too so they want to skip all the animations, yell at you for not knowing where to be or what to do. It’s why I don’t run dungeons unless I’m with people I know.

I would have liked the option to finish my personal story at my own pace, in my own way, like I’ve been doing up til now.

Agreed. This basically sums up how I feel about the experience. I recently returned to the game with my first level 80 sitting there with her story unfinished, and I recalled why. I want to finish, but I’d like it to be my story. I like playing with others in all other situations, but I have become very aware of how nasty PUG situations tend to get and I’d rather not ruin the end of my story quest this way.

I personally think this should be fixed with an option to solo.

I would leave. He is making you uncomfortable to the point you are thinking about leaving the game. Think about that for a second. One person’s actions are making you think about leaving the game. Shouldn’t the game be the thing that makes you consider leaving it? Or real life/game balance?

No, this isn’t normal, nor is it okay. Yes, guild leaders try to “lead” for effectiveness, but there is a strong difference between leading and dictating/alienating people. One steers a team towards results, the other is little more than beating people into submission. It sounds like someone trying to beat you into submission is bothering you – good for you. So leave. Having fun in a game matters.

Oh, and by the way… “normal” doesn’t even equate to “right” either. Lots of people behave really poorly which may make it seem normal. If they are being cruel and calling teammates useless, still isn’t exactly right.

I will get this error code and sometimes skills will just freeze and not work. Yet it is not my internet connection, as everything is connected and working fine the entire time. I have been looking all over for a solution to this, and like many I am very frustrated. All proper ports are forwarded, I have checked that all software/drivers are up to date, my router is up to date and has been reset many times. I have done so many recommended things it is ridiculous. Sometimes I can play for a couple hours without problem, and then it’ll go into loops of constant disconnects. I recently returned to GW2, but this is game breaking for me.

I can play other games with no problem. Having this fixed will make the difference between continuing to play and buying the expansion, or totally giving up.

I agree with a rep system, but it has to work the opposite way. Negative voting is notoriously bad. An honor system almost always promotes good things. People work for rewards. Give people the ability to award honor points to good team members. Possibly lose honor if separate team members vote against them.
