This exact subject is already being discussed in several threads. Did it really need another?

The storm was well out of their control and they tried their best to get the release out today. When they realized that it was no longer possible, it was announced. I’d rather they try than give up the second they reach an obstacle where they may not make it.

Players are the ones who chose to take time off of work or spend their day in front of the computer. In case people don’t realize, all LS3 episodes are permanent once you log in. You don’t have to do it today. You don’t even have to do it tomorrow. It’s not going anywhere.

More about the raids, specifically those planning on racing and taking it seriously but clearly its a joke now lul. but what does this reply have to do with them having better communciation?

Their communication was fine. We got an announcement early in the day and then again several times throughout the day. Once they realized that it wasn’t going to happen, they made that announcement. I’d rather they work and try to get the update out as soon as they can than postpone it off the mere chance that it could not get done that day and would upset the handful of players that care about getting world first in the raid wing.

Idk if you actually read what I said, I don’t care that the patch was delayed. They had to delay it that’s totally fine. What I’m not okay with was the constant “ASAP” posts we saw on twitter from the official GW2 account. If they knew there were issues out of their control why couldn’t we been told at the very least a time that they’d say whether or not if it’d be out that day instead of sitting around waiting until they finally decided to wait until the next day.

You made the choice to continue to wait. They didn’t announce it would be delayed until tomorrow until they knew for certain that it couldn’t release today. I believe that I said that twice already, Wait… yes, I did.

If you saw the aerodrome I wasn’t the only person waiting all day. Many players were patiently waiting for whenever ASAP was. I’m not upset about the delay I just wish anet could’ve called it earlier or at least set some kind of time for people to check back on. When it comes to WF raid races every minute matters so ofc anyone wanting to participate in that content is going to continue waiting. What’s so hard about Anet either calling it early or saying “hey no need to wait until like 5PM est then we’ll let you guys know or post it” <- example

And they chose to continue to wait. They chose to give up their time that they could have spent doing something else.

Anet didn’t call it early because they still thought they could get it out today. I’d rather they not give up early because some people could miss out on getting world first which only really matters to those that compete for it. This is about getting content out for ALL players and not about appeasing those going for world first.

Ok but not only raiders were waiting I remember hearing about many waiting in divinities reach for living story. They don’t have to give up but if they’re going to delay it why not have a time to delay it to and if they don’t get it by then THEN call it for the day. Therefore if done by delay time we get patch that day if not done we get patch next day and nobody is waiting on the edge of their seat for yellow text “patch in 10 minutes” there are much better ways of dealing with this instead of just telling players over and over it’ll be there soon! Nobody knows when soon is creating uncertainty All I’m suggesting is maybe they’ll be more clear in the future

It was definitely not just raiders. I was in QueensDale and saw all those people waiting for the patch and many other twitter posts of screenshots of hundreds of players waiting in QD/DR for the patch

Everyone knows that you don’t have to do the living story right away. However I think he was saying about the people who are trying to get the world first clear on the raids.

My friends and I run dungeons, daily we have a set group of five, and when we don’t have that set group on, we either just 4-man or 3-man the dungeon, with the dungeon scaling we can’t even 5-man the dungeon without running meta, we couldn’t finish CM path 1 last boss with running just zerker. We had to run meta. If this is promoting “diversity” it’s not doing a very good job, with us seeing that you need to run meta. This just killed PUG groups. if it’s not broke don’t fix it. Please put it back to the old scaling
