"Play Now" broken?

Just joining to mess around & do the daily seems to only let you play Spirit Watch & it kicks you after one match instead of going through the map rotation. Picking a server with a different map & the generic “Server …” only gets me to 5v5 customs where I’m unable to play & spectating is the only option. What gives did something get broken or did I miss a patch note?

We all love this tier and a large part of that is because of the three server involved. I do not believe the situation in Kaineng is all doom and gloom but there are some valid concerns bought up by a few Kaineng players, primarily the lack of NA and not having a large enough PVE population to draw players in from.

Instead of just worrying about it lets do something about it then. Lets help Kaineng recruit by bumping their thread by sharing our positive thoughts and opinions on Kaineng. I know TC got a lot of love from Kaineng and BG players alike to make our recruitment thread be very effective in recruiting individual players and small guilds. Lets do the same for them. I urge FA players to do the same.

Yep. Agreed. They have been fabulous opponents. Time to show them some love, everyone.

How come nobody tried to get us transfers when we came in 3rd place those times?

Generally speaking, TC doesn’t really care for FA.

And besides helping feels good.

Has there ever been a fix or support put in for speakers regarding this issue yet?

It would be a shame to purchase a 7.1 headphone peripheral only to find out that the sound system doesn’t support it.

Time to do something with servers

Its going to be time to take a definitive stand on servers in the near future regarding time slot population.

Right now we have NA & European servers with not a whole lot of difference between the two as in you can play anywhere you like regarding region. Why even have the two designations? Why not just merge NA & Euro together, keeping the same amount of total servers that are listed as NA? Why not simply designate NA, Euro & Asian to their own respective regional servers?

Advantages for server merges

As far as merging all regions into the same server clusters you would help alleviate some of the glaring mistakes made in regards to WvWvW. It would cut down on severe time slot disadvantages, & keep every region going with more epic battles rather than the PvDoor that is seen on some of the servers currently.

Also with a merger the worlds would feel more full. Let’s say you have a day off from work/school, log on to run some zones, you wouldn’t be running in a veritable ghost world if your server had players from all over the world on it. It would be bustling nearly 24 hours a day.

Advantages for strict regional servers

More specific primetime WvWvW action & less coming back the next day to find a different server steamrolled in absentia.

In other games similar to GW2 I have noticed players from specific countries grouping together on specific server to create a feeling pride for whatever country you might represent. With the current system this is not really possible.

Having live events reach more people. Nothing says awesome more than reading about and looking forward to a live event only to find out its scheduled for a time your unavailable due to work or school. Having a strict regional server policy would help get the live events to more of your player base rather than just about half.

Closing

I’m sure more cases can be provided either for or against either scenario, but I feel its time for ArenaNet to pick their poison. Just make a stand one way or another. And of course I realize that not a whole lot of the above matters unless ArenaNet does something about the free transfer system. Make it a paid service, put a cap on amount of transfers a month, institue the long awaited guesting feature, whatever it is just do something.

I’m neither for or against either of those, I’d just rather have it one way or another.

Server population regarding time slot

Hello everyone, I was curious if there was anything out there that has tracked or made some type of census regarding server populations in specific time slots. Such as a servers population with NA’s, Euro’s & Oceanics. I find it interesting because our server has experienced an extreme imbalance in time slot coverage & would just like to see some numbers for craps & giggles.

Also can anyone point me to an ANet article, quote or blog as to why the differing time slots get grouped together. It just seems to me it would make for better primetime fighting between servers to have similar regions face off against each other, not to mention possible latency concerns.

Armor & Weapon Viewing Sites

Hi all, I was just wondering if there are any sites out there you could share that allow you to view armor &/or weapons on a 3d model. Additionally, is there someplace I could find a comprehensive list of armor & weapons along with what vendors sell them or possible drop locations.

Thank you in advance for any help.

I was wondering if anyone else had the same issue as me. A lot of the time I tend to play the game with 2 desktop speakers & a subwoofer. Whenever I come upon an NPC conversation interaction in the world the word bubble pops up over the NPC’s head as his conversation starts. The audio from that convo is extremely low & sometimes barely audible over my speakers & I find that the volume is directly tied to where my camera is “shooting” from, not from where my character is. When I play with headphones the audio from those same conversations is not tied to camera positioning & comes in loud & clear. I have messed around with the sliders in the game menu & have found nothing that can adjust this. Is this intended or a bug or am I missing something altogether?
