Guild Wars 2

I wonder how they’ll ruin WvW…

I feel sorry for you backward striving people. It must be really difficult to live in a world of constant change.

The game you’re looking for is called Skyrim. There you won’t have to meet other actual people

Personally, I feel that it is awesome to finally meet people who are willing to do other things than just run a zombie zerg through Queensdale.

Now it’s a ‘Zombie Zerg’ from world boss to world boss with the added advantage of lag, increased $ for gem store items, and obivously, more than is able to be comprehended.

It’s now a zombie zerg full of lazy people that found it too difficult to guest to a zombie zerg server that boss trained every night. It’s now a freaking zombie zerg everywhere, full of serverless, blobbers. I fully understand that some people found it difficult to find the zerg before the megazerg patch(though it was always there, on servers that some of us dislike), now it’s easy to blob. Oh rejoice simple ones.

I think fixing the overflow problem was a great idea, but the execution creates a few more problems. If I didn’t love GW2 so much, these problems wouldn’t bother me at all. If I was a PvE’r, I’d be mindlessly smiling and clapping with the rest of the lemmings.

I’m sitting at Vigil looking at a bunch of people I don’t know… just feels kinda empty.

This type of comment has had me perplexed for quite a while. There are likely multiple hundreds of people on every given server. I don’t see how anyone would be able to recognize more then a handful of the population on any one server. I don’t see how any one can make a valid correlation or come to any substantial conclusion based solely on observation. Doing so would be highly susceptible Observation bias.

I understand that it feels that there are a bunch of people you do not know. If the area that you are in was historically a low population that you only saw a handful of people constantly on the server. Of course there is going to be a bunch of people you don’t know. The entire idea was to add more people to low populated areas. If the area you are in was a high populated area see statement above.

Start talking to those people you don’t know. Perhaps you will make some new friends.

What’s missing is a feeling of camaraderie. I WvW a lot. We used to have people jumping into our cities yelling, “Border Lands are under attack! Need help now!”. We’d rally together and fight off the enemy. That’s gone now.

It used to feel like you were hanging out at a club house or school cafeteria. Now it feels like hanging out at a crowded subway station… I’m not sure if that makes sense to anyone else, but to me, outside of WvW there’s no more feeling of family.

I didn’t know everyone on the server of course. I do know most of the guilds though. Not so much anymore.

I’ve been blocking folks that are recruiting in chat from other servers. Does anyone know if there’s a limit on the block list? If there’s no limit, eventually I’ll get everyone not on my server blocked :o)

That won’t change the Walmart atmosphere that this mega server thing has created in open world areas though. I mostly WvW, were they smart enough not to mix competing servers in the mega mergers?

This has sucked the life out of open world areas and made it feel really generic. I liked the family feel of server. If I needed a boss train I could always guest to the kind of server I don’t want to be on.

I’m sitting at Vigil looking at a bunch of people I don’t know… just feels kinda empty. I used to like talking to lowbies and inviting them to join our WvW guild. Met some great folks and got to teach them a little about WvW. That’s gone now too.

Sloppy is actually being pretty kind. They’re not stupid, so this was most likely a a decision based on the number of people affected versus the 15 minutes it would take to code it out of the completion matrix.

They just flipped the bird at my guardian.
