Post patch Zhaitan: Beyond unacceptable

I’d hate to be in Arena’s shoes. Half the forum hates the idea of grouping for a personal story quest, the other half wants the dungeon harder.

Personal story conclusions don’t need to be in a dungeon. That would’ve solved the whole problem.

Can you defeat zhaitan solo?

It’s an MMO, how could you possibly miss that?

This answer pops up on a routine basis Iruwen. Frankly that’s not an answer at all. MMO’s long ago moved beyond the point of forced grouping for anything and there’s good reasons for that as well. In fact this game goes a long ways towards avoiding grouping throughout the leveling process in a variety of ways. Also consider just why mmo’s don’t require grouping on quests/events/missions/stories like this any longer — games have a definite life cycle and if you miss out on one of the large waves you can easily be left unable to complete your personal story.

During this game I usually rarely see other players out in the PvE world and rarely hear any lfg broadcasts for anything other than fractals. I could go on but it’s very early out here and it’s time for my morning run before I go to bed.

Personal Story Difficulty Unacceptable

A MMORPG — if something seems too hard for you, try it with a friend.

You shouldn’t have to. If the personal stories are designed to require a party of any size than they need to clearly state that. As it is, they’re set too hard. The fact that most of the missions require you to rez and repeat multiple times is an indication that the difficulty level is too high. I no longer bother with any of them on any character.

My personal opinion is that stuns in any way shape or form are a bad thing when applied to any human player for any reason. Taking away peoples ability to play their toon annoys them.

I was away for all these changes and rather shocked when i came back a few days ago.

Now I understand the reward for just logging in mitigates some of the change. And frankly I’ve rarely spent the laurels anyway. But I rather enjoyed doing the daily just to do them. But I don’t like being told what parts of the game I must play.

This isn’t a matter of getting outside your comfort zone. I’ve played WvW extensively and find it rather dull and necessitates running with a zerg these days. As for PvP, that’s not even worth queuing up for. Add to it the inability to get enough damage or other participation in to get credit on some pve kills and it’s just no longer worthwhile. Oh and the past few days it was quite impossible for me to finish the dailys without going into WvW. Which I won’t do.

It also seems to me that the total combined rewards for doing the daily, and the new log in reward system is a fair bit lower than just the old daily and monthly system. And at least that system allowed me to get rewards for playing the way i wanted.

The change has just made the game that much less enjoyable for me.

For what it’s worth, either the 9/17 or 9/24 update (I can’t remember which) has an updated version of that quest. (“Rumors of Trouble.”) In the future, PLEASE provide me with the quest name. I only recognized the step because I just modified last week.

Jeff, I’ve filed bug reports on every personal story mission that’s had problems since beta. So has most of the guild I’m playing in. I’ve been a beta tester on a lot of games for a very long time and provide extremely detailed bug reports. However, at this point I’m not going to bother doing the personal stories any longer. They’re simply not fun.

Been horrid since shortly after the mega server roll out. Unable to play the vast majority of the time.

Do you have to do the personal story?

I hate the personal quests personally. Now I just do them up to the point where you get a back piece then quit.

If you’re a Chrome user click on the menu type icon and then settings. The down at the bottom find “advanced settings”, under privacy you’ll see a clicky for manage saved passwords. Click on that. In the pop up window search guildwars, highlight the one with the login as part of the url and click show. There’s your password for these forums and hence the one for the game.

And truth be told, half the time that’s the only way i can remember what mine is as well.

Remember me?

Laziness. But that’s just my opinion.

I thought rangers were the redheaded step child. Does this mean we’ve moved up a notch?

we’re now the strawberry-blonde stepchild.

Use the crafting buffs while crafting. Plan carefully and never craft without a buff. And have only 1 character get all the crafting professions (he’ll only be able to have 2 active at a time but you won’t lose levels on the inactive levels).

There really is enough space for everything, u have to get very very far to get ’’You’re leaving the instance area’’ message. You can make a circle around your enemy, or even die, since u continue the quest almost where u left off…
and it warns you that you’re leaving the instance u dont get kicked right when the message appears

Btw im playing necro and your argument is invalid.

That’s not been my experience either. There are a few of the missions where the mobs have knock back casts and they have literally knovked me out of the instance — repeatedly. The timing on the message is almost simultaneous with being kicked.

No.

They’re happy with the way they did it so far or they’d have changed it. Leaves those of us who play at odd hours out in the cold. I just wish they’d let me take that stupid quest reminder off my screen.

Sound and graphic lag after Megaservers.

Buy a new PC. And this time not a crappy laptop but at least a medium desktop :p

What do you expect as answer if you don’t even post what your current PC has as hardware ?

That’s really not a solution to the lag problems since the megaservers.

For example, I have an i7 processor, 32 gig Ram, an ssd, 2 very large hd, GTX 780ti and a wired connection. Can’t play at all a good deal of the time. Never had trouble before the mega server patch. Have no trouble in other games. And it matters not how the in game graphics are set.

The patch did nothing more than eliminate the tag that told you you were in an overflow server and just dumps the maximum number of people there with no further tweaks or recoding to account for the increase in population.
