Guild Wars 2

Koko, you’re obviously missing the point. More in-game info is clearly needed as the timing was unknown to a large number of players. You shouldn’t have to seek basic info outside of the game. And just because a player doesn’t check the site or forums on a daily basis does not make them any less of a player. I in fact did check outside the game for more info and still didn’t see any mention of an end time for the event.

Just because it’s an MMO doesn’t mean that the player should group with others. For some people it’s enough just to have other people around even if they don’t interact with them to make the game feel more alive. I generally solo play and group on occasion when i can find the time to play with friends or guildies. I don’t like PUGs because they can be frustrating, unorganized and some people are just plain annoying.

That being said i would love to be able to solo dungeons in story mode and make them scaleable if you wanted to take a friend or two (or three or four!). A lot of times it can be tough getting into a story because if someone’s already done it there’s really no incentive to do it again. I do however like forcing a full group for explorables because they’re tougher and actually have incentives to do multiple times. Maybe if they made more incentives for story mode it wouldn’t be so bad. Though i would still prefer scalable story dungeons as it would be nice to be able to check out the entirety of the game’s main story with out the pain of finding a descent group.

The problem with your explanation is that not everyone, including myself, check the web site or the forums. The time should have been shown on the F&F event IN GAME. It should have been made more clear as a lot of players missed out and are very frustrated.

Now imagine you did all those quests, all the way up to the end, save one final chat with an NPC then logged for the day (too tired, had to go to work, wife came home, whatever). The next day when you log in to finish but to your dismay the NPC is no longer there. The event is over and you had no idea. You just got screwed!

See.. you could have been worse off

Yes bonfire is up. Got it. Doesn’t fix my problem.

And by the way, i did get the bonfire achievement…just missing Avenger of the Dispossessed, so i can’t complete the story.

So i logged in to finish my living story today to find out that the event is over and i’m screwed. I had no idea there was a time frame on this until after the fact. What the heck Anet? Some warning would have been nice. All i had to do to complete the event was Avenger of the Dispossessed and now after all the bother of doing all the activities i’m locked out at the finish line. I could have and would have finished it up if i’d realized i only had a day left, but not knowing the end was upon us, i chose to help a friend level instead. This makes me never want to even bother with live events. Gob said it best; “Come on!”

yes annoying bug.
