Guild Wars 2

500 for name change
800 for gender change
800 for look change

A game that has a cash shop and doesn’t offer these common services is a cash shop falling short. But that is my opinion. I would definitly put down some gems for name changes.

So just because we didn’t have to pay for it gives an excuse for half assing the rest of the update? If they just released Fractals of the Mist and the jump puzzles it would have been just as fine. This is just my opinion but if you are going to release something make sure everything is the same quality as the rest because Fractals is amazing while the rest of the update was executed horribly. And guess what people remember about the update… all the bad things.

@Mufflarn
Free content update? Please I have never seen an MMO do a “massive” content update that fast unless the game release was unfinished/rushed like most F2P games that are just translated over from their Asian counter-parts.

3-months in had to add new area/dungeon? Seems like they know that the majority of their player base is bored as hell and they are trying to keep them interested. But if they are slipping up major points in the content update, (even if the Fractals of the Mists is kitten good) that is all the player base is going to know/care about.

OT:
I myself hit 80 within a few a weeks and was wondering what to do next. Dungeons? Okay but once you figure out how to speed run through them… ZzZzZzZ. Make a new character? Why I like the one I have now. Do jump puzzles… all of them completed before I hit 80 looool. Get legendary weapons. They look stupid for my build. Currently I am playing just to get my character to look nice. Even then Medium armors are shafted because 85% of it is emo trench coats. Boring. Spvp/WvW. Casual hop on for an hour or two just to do it for fun. Gets boring after a while.

IMO 24-48 hr rollback so people are less angry about the precursor weapons. The less angry people you have ANET the better. Seems like most of your gem buying player base is taking their money elsewhere. Better get them back on the hook, that is money walking out the door.

Well I was smart and masochistic when I first got DC’d from my overflow. I didn’t want to wait so I went into a friends overflow and completed it there. But that meant I had to do the event TWICE. It is like cutting myself for things I can’t use. Wait it was. :/

Events need to month long or something. It gives people time to enjoy it. I thought GW2 was catering to casuals? 3 day events are really not for casuals… especially on the weekend before Thanksgiving.

Should have renamed the event… Fractal of the Mists because it is the only thing they did right. Good job on making a sick dungeon that makes us pick our brain. But everything out pretty much trash/useless. Back to the drawing boards devs.

Also people who said that GW2 is an F2P does not know what F2P means. GW2 is B2P. You actually had to purchase the game to play the game. Seems like everyone forgot that.

@OumaShu

ANET dropped the ball on this event. Halloween was executed fairly well. This was not. If they dropped the ball on something major like “ONE-TIME ONLY EVENT” it is pretty huge. Not taking non-american players into consideration and how brainless the event was, yeah great event. But hey dick riding is the “in” thing now amirite?

I wouldn’t be as mad about the drops if I could have used some of the armor that dropped. Seriously 2 light exotics and 2 heavy rares for a Thief? Best loot ever…

Lost Shore Event. (Now that I am less angry I will most likely respond in a professional manner hopefully)

1/10
I gave it a 1 because I enjoyed the jump puzzle that gave me entertainment for like 25 minutes.

Positive Things.
~ The Stepping Stones jump puzzle was enjoyable.

Negative Things.
~ One-time event chains lead to a surge of players logging on to complete it so it caused a lot of lag and random disconnects. Also you have people in other time zones that cannot make it to the events so one-time events should not even exist considering your player base.
~ Buggy events should not be released. If you know about it don’t release it. People are happy to get content if it is functional for the most part and has small bugs that don’t affect the main game play. Could not continue due to Noll being bugged.
~ Falling short on loot items. I was fortunate enough to get a chest at the end of the event after disconnecting from my first overflow. But I got things I couldn’t use because I wear medium armor. I got light exotics and heavy rares and I am a Thief. A couple of gold made but it wasn’t really worth all the effort going through that event for that amount.
~ Overflow priorities for events. Give people a chance to reconnect to their overflow that they were in like a 5 to 10 min window to reconnect to it. If this was already in place you would have less angry/frustrated people for the event. I disconnected when I was finishing the event and reconnected into a different overflow. Lucky that I had guild members in a different overflow and joined on them to finish their chain in time to receive the chest.

Overall the company as a whole needs to step up for the next major event because it seems like the majority of the player base has negative experiences with them and might avoid the next one. I know that I am not going to plan my weekend around the next event for sure until I get a confirmation that it is properly working from people who has already done them.

So I had to do it twice just to receive the reward once does that mean I get another chest or no?

I don’t understand why they even delete threads. This is why people quit MMOs because when game developers put a date on a deadline and then they fail to meet REASONABLE expectations. Then when players give feedback (negative mostly) they just delete it like it never happened. If there is no proof then there was no problem with it am I right?

Anyways before the thread “magically” dissapeared without a response from a staff member… I was going to post this.

JSmooth.7654:

For those who got loot. Don’t complain… at least you got something. My GF and I got a server kick during the last 15 seconds of the fight with no loot.

I got lucky and got into another overflow that was still doing it, but it doesn’t change the fact that I had to do the event TWICE just to get crap drops that wasn’t even worth my time. 20-slot bag is the only thing that was worth it from my chest. So yeah I am going to complain that the event was crappy because of disconnects and a very linear event chain.

Infinite Bad/10.
Was boring and wasted 4 hours. The people who got per-cursor weapons are lucky and are most likely happy with the event, but the majority of the player base is dissatisfied and the future looks grim for GW2. Hopefully a department head responds instead of their lackeys. No offense but I would like some compensation and a game wide apology from a higher up for such a fail event. But hey that is just me.
