Guild Wars 2

There is a very distinct difference between saying that the game is too hard and saying that the respawn rate is too fast because mobs are respawning literally 30 seconds after combat with the first spawn is initiated. Yes, I timed this. No, I do not mean “When you killed them”. I mean “when they aggro on you”.

If you don’t want to sound like you’re attacking people with your post, perhaps you should take the time to actually READ the posts in questions. If you did so, than you might discover that it is not a case of “LTP, Noob”, but rather quite experienced players who are timing spawn rates. When a mob of 5 respawns 30 seconds after initiation of combat, you now have anywhere from 6 to 9 enemies attacking you. In a level 15-25 zone, that is an unreasonable spawn rate and an unreasonable expectation for players to be able to handle.

Tiresias.6473:

Anywhere there are ghosts. PLEASE take a look at this. A great example is the area around the “Grendich Ruins” point of interest in Diessa Plateau. The ghosts literally spawn so quickly and the cannons and trebuchets rebuild so insanely fast that it is impossible for a group of three or less people to have any impact on the area whatsoever. Complicating the matter is the fact that the ghosts all come in packs of 2-5(!) at a time and use very power abilities that mimic player abilities in their effects and strength.

This is quite literally one of the most frustrating areas in the game, but it is only an example of the many, many areas where the ghosts are on ONE MINUTE respawn timers permanently, regardless of the number of people in the area.

There should never, in any instance other than a dynamic event, be an open-world area with respawn timers less than five minutes when a single player or a small group is in the area unless the enemy density is very low.

COMPLETELY agree. 3/4ths of the Diessa Plateau has extreme respawn rate issues. The Breached Wall ghosts have a respawn rate of 30 seconds, making that skill point and vista nearly impossible to reach. (You cannot make the jumps while at combat speed – being in combat reduces your run speed.) The Blasted Moors are the same, making that heart extremely hard to get. (For reference, I did that heart at level 20 with all green items on a rogue and STILL had a hard time with respawn rates.) The Ruins of Oldgate also has the same respawn time problem.

At this point, I am unable to complete the Breached Wall skill point or vista on my level 20 elementalist because the ghosts are respawning within 30 seconds of entering combat. Not of the time the ghost dies. The time the ghost enters combat with a player. (I timed it. I’m not killing them slowly. They’re spawning a second one IN THE SAME PLACE while I’m still fighting the first one, and it takes me less than 20 seconds to kill a single level 20 ghost.)

It feels like the entire Diessa Plateau is hard mode, with extremely fast respawns nearly everywhere in the zone, but it’s especially bad with ALL of the ghosts in the zone.

Please review 120901-014256, because support is consistently misunderstanding and/or failing to read the entire ticket. I have now been attempting to resolve this ticket since September 7th, and am becoming quite angry. I do not want to have to use the workaround that I did – I will note that it was FOUR DAYS between my last submission and any response from support, and that their current response is “well, you can play now, so your problem is resolved”.

No, it is NOT resolved. I do not consider having to change my account email to a secondary account as “resolved”. That is a workaround for being unable to play. It does not address my issue in the slightest.

I “worked around” it so that I was able to play by changing my email address to one of my alternate emails. But I don’t want my alternate email used – that email is a spam-dump address. I want my main email, the one that all of my NCSoft Master account games are under, and the one that’s subscribed to the forum.

And I probably posted my issue too late last night to get it noticed before today. As I mentioned in the other thread, I suspect that there is an issue with having used my main email for the closed beta before pre-purchase was available, and for some reason the system may not have released my main email from the closed beta accounts.

I’m having precisely the same problem, support ticket Incident: 120901-014256 – As of today I was unable to play because my account name was still the @ncsoft one.

I went around it by changing to an alternate email account, but I do not WANT that email account. I want my main email account. The alternate account is for other purposes. It also keeps telling me that my main email account is already in use. Yes, it is, by ME.

I suspect that the problem lies in having used my main email address for the closed beta event, prior to the pre-purchase being live. I think that the system has my email address stuck as an account somewhere in the system, even though I’m able to log into the forums with it. All I’ve gotten so far from support are form letters that haven’t remotely addressed my problem, which is very frustrating.

I’ve been trying to get through to support to correctly validate my email address for TWO WEEKS now. I have been told that validating my email address is optional. Well, now it won’t allow me to play the game because my email address isn’t validated.

When I try to change my email address to the correct one, it tells me that the email address is already in use. Yes, it is. BY ME. My accounts are correctly linked. My NCSoft Master Account is correctly linked. I get all of my GW2 emails to that account. I cannot get this through to Support’s heads. I’ve gotten several form letters that don’t even address the problem I’m having.

I cannot seem to get support to resolve this. I am now EXTREMELY frustrated and angry because now I can’t play the game AT ALL – it won’t let me log in because my email isn’t validated! The ticket # is Incident: 120901-014256.
