Guild Wars 2

Thanks for the patch. Can’t wait to play again in 90 minutes once my 0kb/s finishes.

Hey Chicago peeps, while we wait for this download to finish (eta Christmas eve) we should all meet up. Assuming you’re all female and over 18.

Seriously though, I have no idea what’s to blame or whose fault this is, but it would be nice if one of the moderators could chime in at some point.

WE KNOW YOU’RE READING THIS.

EDIT: Everything else about my internet is working just fine. My porn video watching continues unhampered. This may very well be a comcast issue, with some sort of nerd speak IP bullkitten, but since everyone here is reporting ONLY having a problem with downloading these patches, a simple a comment from the moderators here THAT WE KNOW ARE READING THIS would be nice. 3 nights in a row. This is frustrating.

Dead matrix.2670:

would it be bad if I tried going back to dial up.

New midwest meta.

We should all hang out.

There’s a Hooters in Schererville IN…

There’s a similar thread going on as well. Seems everyone having this problem is in the midwest, specifically in Chicago, possibly comcast customers.

Black Leech lives in Indiana. NOT CHICAGO

Crazy…I’m in Chicago using comcast and I can’t update more than 3 kb/sec. Everything else on the internet works just fine, but I’ve been waiting on this patch for an hour.

Sorry you guys have to deal with so many complaints about simply trying something to see the real effects it will have. Every single person that actually plays wvw daily that I’ve talked to is excited about this and is looking forward to the change…any change really. Of course people have concerns about how this could potentially go wrong. But let’s see how it actually plays out and take it from there.

I am personally concerned that 1 specific server that plays the PPT game like it’s life or death will use the points per kill as a reason to absolutely never fight anyone, as opposed to the current situation in which they will actually fight once or twice a week. I envision them having full map blobs sitting inside towers surrounded by more AC’s than people for days on end.

The lack of white swords will reward servers that have people willing to scout. I don’t see how that’s a bad thing. However, it would be nice (regardless of any potential rule changes) for scouts to be rewarded.

Scouting is lonely and boring, and the only current reward for scouting is pride and the occasional compliment or thank you from fellow players. People on every server take useless sentry points because there is a tiny reward for doing so. If Anet is going to emphasize scouting, they should reward it.

Speaking of easter eggs….. did anyone else find the ark of the covenant in the priory basement?

lolololol

Indiana Jones reference.

GW1 reference too: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Ancient_Weapon

Indiana Jones and Guild Wars in the same thread?

<3 !

Wasn’t there even a short round mini in GW1?

Congrats. Please please please don’t spend 1 second worrying about the unhappy people saying negative things. Obviously your thread was going to bring out a few trolls, but this chitshow of hate is sad. Get help people.

Colour your commander tag! Only 800 gems a colour! Make your tag account bound, only 2000 gems!

Hope I’m wrong…

You were wrong…… its even more expensive

Anet is now a parody of itself. We make a joke about how badly Anet is about to ruin something, and then go and ruin it in worse ways then we jokingly predicted.

Oh my kitten god.

Give us updated commander tags first.

Karuna.1357:

Personally I never had any real serious problem with WvW when it was lively and active. It has become a tad bit repetitive and that is my most serious complaint.

However, now I see guilds, friends, and acquaintances from all different servers dropping out of WvW and out of the game at a record pace. Unless this is part of the long-term plan that Anet has for WvW then they need to do something to right this ship, and do it quickly.

I 100% agree. I wish we as a player base had not spent the last 2 years playing the boys who cried wolf. Our season 2 rewards were a week late, and the players on the forums freaked out like Anet had committed a felony and should be brought to justice. Every single slight, real or imaginary, has been blown out of proportion to the 100th degree on these forums for nearly 2 years.

Now here we are screaming and yelling that the WvW community is dying at an exponentially growing rate. But nobody will hear us. Cause we’ve spent the last 2 years complaining about anything and everything, but most of the time about absolutely nothing.

I sincerely hope the people at Anet have ways to discover WvW’s deterioration on their own. Cause I wouldn’t expect them to rise to action from the most recent in our never ending line of complaints.

Thank you BG, your tears of unfathomable sadness are delicious.

I don’t post on this forum very often, but I absolutely have to tonight. I could not have had more fun on EB tonight fighting RE and the TC zerg. The open field fights were simply awesome. Kudos to RE and TC for their class and sportsmanship. I wish spontaneous sparring like this could happen more often.

I like the general idea, however the way you laid it out has “Red Resign Day” written all over it.

I’m guessing there won’t be too many FA or TC people in here talking about what just happened in EB’s Blue Keep. That’s OK. We won’t tell anyone. It can be our secret.

I opened this thread expecting to completely agree with the OP, and I do primarily feel that starting these new tiers from scratch is a stick in the eye to the many WvW die hards. However, after reading the thread I can see the benefits that starting from scratch would bring. Everyone starting at zero would be a great incentive to get new players into WvW.

I also have no idea if its even possible for Anet to include old accomplishments into the old systems.

I think a good middle point would be to make badges worth something. I know many of us are completely broke, but have thousands of badges. I have 6g and 2500 badges.

If Anet would simply allow us to do something useful with these badges, the hardcore WvWers would feel less scorned about the World XP ignoring their months worth of hard work.

Ziggy would have never allowed the culling.

Cirax, I think you’ve stumbled upon a cure for many of our problems.

Is culling making it impossible for you to see enemies?

Are Mesmer and Thief stealths overpowered?

Just make everyone invisible in WvW.

Problems solved.

How much are you guys paying? All the cool servers pay guilds to join now.

Dear Anet: you broke your game. The latest culling fix did not improve culling, significantly decreased the ability to see teammates, and has caused a huge lag on skill activations.

Your game is no longer about skill, or strategy. Your game now awards winners and losers of battles based on who can use skills, and who spams skills for 10 seconds before dying without getting a skill off.

This is my first ever post on this forum.

Fix what you broke. You have made your game unplayable.
