Guild Wars 2

To give Arenanet its dues, their posts about ascended gear so far is PR speak at its very finest (all the sentences are just so rich in placating, fluffy, feel good but ultimately meaningless words).

I’ve read legal suits written by lawyers that couldn’t even dream of reaching the amount of meaningless blather that Arenanet has managed to spout with just two posts. So hats off to you Arenanet, you must employ some first rate spin doctors.

However, how about giving those spin doctors a break and just come out with all the details of the new gear system so people can make an informed decision about what they should do with your game?

Well I won’t say that I feel as if Arenanet pulled a bait and switch on me, however this whole gear progression thing they’ve cooked up does disappoint me. I participated in the MMO gear progression hamster wheel/skinner box several times over the years and got heartily sick of it. I hoped that GW2 wouldn’t degrade into that, yet now it seems likely that it will. Pity.

Yet another person from Switzerland using Swisscom with the same error. I got in twice with my alt where it logged me into the overflow server. But as soon as I tried to join the main server I got the error again.
