Guild Wars 2

I want to start off by saying that I love the invasions. Having such massive events over an entire zone with tons of players is really cool.
But both of the times I’ve participated in these invasions I encountered a problem. The first time was in Blazeridge Steppes. I was running around doing portal events like normal, but when I was trying to complete a MA event I crashed. Now, I had been doing this for longer than ten minutes so I couldn’t get back into an invasion server. So, what could I do? Nothing. There is so much player traffic in these events you can’t get back to the main map. I just had to wait and when it ended because I had crashed I got zero rewards. Nothing.
The second time was even worse. This invasion was in Harathi Hinterlands. I got there quickly and started helping out. My server was doing pretty well at clearing it and with 4 minutes left we had less than half in both bars and I’m pretty certain that we were going to do it. Then guess what? I crashed. For 41 minutes of me running around and helping I didn’t get the reward at the end. I couldn’t get back to the main map and that was that.
I think this leads to a big problem with this type of event.
Just imagine that Person A did this event for 10 minutes and then left and did other things. They will get their reward. If Person B does this event for 10 minutes and then logs out for 5 minutes, logs back in and does other stuff. They will not get their reward for doing this event. Why? There is no reason why Person B does not get a reward but Person A does.
And it isn’t just me. I saw a post in this forum yesterday saying that because of this occurrence They would complete one portal event and then wait in a corner so as to not crash and get the reward. To me this is really disheartening, I want to log in and do some invasions but what if this keeps happening?
Now, onto my suggestions( I’m not sure if these are possible just what I hope could be done)

First, that if someone crashes when in a specific overflow or in the main map their “spot” is held for 5 minutes. If they do not reconnect in this time it would continue the way it does now.

Second, if someone disconnects but has participated in an event their participation is still counted and rewards will be handed out, whether they are online or not.

I do think that some solution must be found if Arenanet plan to do more massive open world content like this with good rewards(which I hope they do)
That’s all I really have to say on the matter.

I believe you are wrong about the sylvari. I remember hearing a conversation between a Zephyrite and a Sylvari with the sylvari describing how they are born and the Zephyrite saying “The world below grows stranger by the day”. It doesn’t go exactly like that but w/e.

This is the full wallpaper, if anyone’s interested.

I was about to start to kill these holos and linked a Wp in map chat then started to wait. A thief comes up with shortbow and says " Don’t wait they are always gone before you port" then spams clusterbomb on the mobs, killing them in seconds.

I want to wait but because of this one person doing this I have to race across the map to get any.

Maybe I’m just crazy, but when I look at the concept art of Canach I see an shape of a person(sylvari I assume as it is green). It’s towards the right and seems a little out of place, especially near the bottom where it is very different from the plants. Something else that I noticed is that Canach seems to be looking right at it.

I found a way where you can see some volcanic rock like the screenshots above but I couldn’t get past the wall. You need to start at the back of Naulshead Refuge and keep jumping up the ledges until you get there. Hopefully some of you can get further!

I think you’re focusing on Zojja and the future version of yourself a bit too much. I mean, the blog post mentions a villain that you will recognise and the future self would only be known to players who have completed that storyline. Also, I think that the Nightmare Court trouble Caithe is referring to is about Faolain. Caithe has always been cagey about her and it makes sense that she wouldn’t outright state that she was having issues with Faolain.

Anyway that’s just my two cents.

The name is good and I like it but it isn’t amazing.

My character’s name is Katoptris

PS: I was thinking of making this thread for a while, good to see it on the
Sylvari forums

Server:Seafarer’s Rest
Dungeon:Citadel of Flame

When I join up with a group from different servers they can join in fine but when I try it tells me to check my internet connection even though it is fine and dosen’t have a too high security level.I tried logging off and on, going to the character select screen but it didn’t work.

I hope it will be a long questline where you see your character as a person rather than an amazing hero saving the world. I want a quest line where you roll around an area with a friend(NPC) but find a hidden tomb or something that hints of a legendary weapon. This would only happen every so often because I’d rather the legendary questline to be more relaxed than the personal one.
My character would take a vague interest in the weapon and try to find it, while collecting other things involing the weapon like say the gifts that you have to farm at the moment like the gift of battle. You come to a fighting pit after deciphering the clue but you and your friend decide to take part to have fun and after winning you get an achievment called the gift of battle(because an item wouldn’t make sense) and then you invited to a drink in the local brewery. If you look around there you will find the next clue.
This way you could see your character as a person while also learning lore about the weapon and other stuff(I’m not sure, I’m not a writer) but also have a real meaning to the weapon and gifts rather than just a massive grind.
I think getting the weapon and gifts this way will make you see your character and your legendary a different way.

P.S getting gifts like that would in my opinion would be so much better than before. It would be an real accomplishment and would actually make sense rather than doing jumping puzzles for the gift of battle.

My sylvari thief was first going to be Riptide but that was taken, then Anaklusmos (Ancient Greek I think), that was taken as well so I settled on Katoptris.The whole Celtic naming convention thing wasn’t as cool for me because if my nationality.
