Guild Wars 2

If nothing else was fixed, I was rather hoping my pet would not randomly decide the run 40 yards ahead of me when I stop moving and kitten pull an entire room of mobs.
That causes so many problems and seems it could be so easily addressed with a non-combat tether applied to the code.

Had we not been led to believe that this was going to be THE Ranger patch, people might not be as upset as you see them here today. Based on what was hinted at, this patch was a significant letdown

You guys are on a roll lately.

I left Rift when they started talking about taking gear progression out of the game, (PvP gear that is). You can’t remove progression from a game people paid to play, based on that construct.

I came here based on the fact that there was going to be no gear stat progression beyond the gear already available in the game.

Seems to be a trend lately in MMO’s. I have a new trend myself. Leaving games run by companies that can’t keep their word. This is the kind of stuff you do in beta, not once it goes live.

The gear may only be 8% better, but it damages 100% of your credibility with me. It’s just so wildly ironic that I left another game to come here and am making the same flipping argument again, only in the opposite direction this time.

Unbelievable.

If only somehow this bug caused a change in the dye drop rate, it would have been fixed by now….

You got an on screen notification 2 hours ahead of the reboot? I have never seen anything but the 2 minute warning across the top of the screen. If they are appearing in the chat window, I can see how I might miss that, but I doubt I have missed every one of the on screen warnings.
Not disputing what you’re saying, I have just never seen anything other than the 2 minute one myself.

Two minutes is too short of a notification window. I realize some patches are important, but giving 15 minute countdown might take some of the sting out of it.

..have more than 2 minutes notice when a new build is available and are going to be punted from the game?

Some of the event/quest chains are rather involved and can take a while to reach their conclusion. Rather disheartening to sink a bunch of time into one of them and being booted when you are right at the end. :/
