Guild Wars 2

Hi! I´m a casual player. I did not read all of the posts but the ones I did read no one seemed to mentioned the biggest problems I personally have with the living world.

1. The random disconnects and the lag.

When you don´t have a lot of time on your hands to completing the events you really want the few times you manage to participate to be able to finish it. Instead what I found was random disconnects throwing me out to overflow a few minutes before end of the event. I am mostly thinking about the Scarlet invasions and Tequatl. Perhaps if I had several hours to spend waiting and queuing this might not have been such a big problem. But for me it meant I was unable to complete the events and the achievements.

2. The waiting.

My second biggest problem is the waiting. When you are playing you want to jump right in to the action. Not stand around in overflow waiting to get in to the main map to then wait for the event to start. I think for a lot of people this might just make them not participate in that event. Or perhaps you try it out ones and realizes that its much time spent for nothing. I would much rather the living story was more like an ongoing event that moved across the map and you could join in at any given time. Something like the events in Orr. So it happens over a longer period of time and sure even if one of the big events is not going on you at least have something to do while waiting.

Then I have some wishes that I would love to see (more) in the living world updates

• More bug and lag fixing
• Alternative ways to gain experience
• Underwater content
• Permanent content/changes
• New (permanent) zone
• More story!

One suggestion I have is why not make one patch similar to the living story we have now but then on the next one focus on fixing bugs etc. Just a thought since I rather have less but more playable things to do. At least until most of the the bigger problems are fixed (like skill lag in WvWvW). Quality over quantity!

Other then that I like the living world (some more then others) and I always look forward to the next one!

This. Makes the event utterly useless. To bad really, was fun the first time I manage to complete it. Not so much after five failed attempts in a row.
