Guild Wars 2

No.

Don’t even for a moment think that i rather spend my time in a forum, rather than playing the game. I love the game. I love RPlaying in the game. However, I simply can’t play the game anymore, for reasons i and others mention above.

I go with the flow… MMOs change, we adapt.. But this time, it feels like we’re trying to swim on deep waters, with a steel ball chained to our leg. So i have to yell this time, adding my voice with the rest of us, in order for A-Net to hear.

This. I had my concerns about the megaserver, but what A-Net said at the time eased those concerns. They’ve always came out favourable since the launch of GW1 in my eyes. But this time, they’ve swung and missed massively, to the point where I felt like I actually had to post in an official feedback topic.

Megaservers are horrible! For a whole bunch of reasons. Sure, running into more people while doing something is a plusside. But there are some huge issues with this:

- Why do you have different language servers if you all throw them in the same megaserver? I already thought this was odd with overflows, but they were overflows, not the server we were running in most, if not all, of the time.

- You have an active roleplaying community, who from my experience are big spenders for gems. A lot of them want pretty skins, but they don’t spend a whole lot of time in PvE, so they can’t get gems for gold. They are dependant on finding each other, randomly running into each other. If they can’t do this, they’ll move on to the next game, as much as they may love Guild Wars and the Guild Wars lore.

- Guilds want to play together, they are currently being split into different servers if they don’t party together. Which is horrible if you want to play a jumping puzzle together, but what if you want to do a guild mission?

- Horrible, horrible lag while doing normal stuff.

And to my big surprise there’s a twitter update on that’s it rolling out nicely, while all I hear about it are people thinking it’s horrible and not working well at all.

I hope they change the way it works to the way they described it would work and stop rolling it out further as long as it’s not working. Actually, I hope they roll it back for now. This seems very much like a “back to the drawing board” situation.
