Getting the overflow message mid-jump

As with the fact that players still block each other’s view (which would be easily fixed by rendering all other players as small snowmen, for example), that’s another example of Arena Net not paying much attention to the feedback they got from the Halloween JP.

Overflow pup-ups are horribly implemented to begin with (they should just be a small icon that pops up on your minimap, not a huge modal dialog box in the middle of your screen that interrupts control of your character), but having them inside an instanced jumping puzzle is too dumb for words.

I would love for them to move the overflow message to a real small thing in the bottom corner, that doesn’t interrupt play. So annoying getting this message every time you zone

I didn’t get too much time on the clocktower so no idea if I could have ever completed it.
I think this puzzle is just about perfect for me. Took me about 30 mins the first day. The second day thought I was going to make it on my first try only the fail on the path to the present. Took about 4 more tries to make it. So far I’d say yeah sure not too difficult, but not a cake walk either. About the difficulty I would hope for in a holiday event.

Why should I even bother?

I’m having the same problem. guildwars.ncsoft.com does not exist. using Google Chrome.
How do I go about messing around with DNS (they are set by my ISP I had thought), since I have this problem both at work and home. Although I can’t access the work stuff, but can hopefully fix my home one.

Annoying not being able to do the Survey they sent before, or check out their links.

Just get rid of orbs all together

The orbs exist to provide boost to the winning team, because in 3 way wvw, the second and third place teams are supposed to gang up on the winning team. They don’t need to be removed, people just need to stop crying and learn to double team.

What I would really like to see is the names on the 2 enemy sides being different colours. ATM everyone just sees red and attacks, being able to differentiate the 2 sides easily I think would help. That and maybe a communication channel that is open to the 2 lowest (in current scoring) to talk to each other.

I’m guessing the match up system hasn’t got to it’s ideal spot yet but I would have thought that you wouldn’t get one team being so far ahead of the other 2 that they would need to combine forces, seeing as they are only 1 or 2 spots apart on the world rankings.

I really need an "event finder"

I made a similar post about this today. In the first 2 weeks I seen hundreds of events (I completed my monthly requirement of 100 events in less than 5 days, the first time, just over a week the second.) In the last week I am really struggling to find enough events to complete my daily 5. I was wondering whether event triggers were based on player population in the zone, because as you get less players they seem to happen less frequent.

Something I think that would help with zergs is to increse the broadcast distance based on the population of the zone. When these zones get low the more people you can tell about an event the better.
Even getting to the point now where you can see other players run past and completely ignore the event because they are there for something else or don’t care to do it. Either way it seems to be getting harder to find events (even though I’m 90% world complete and have done tonnes of events) going to those areas is just not showing them up. And when I finally do find an event just have to hope it’s not bugged.

DE's not as common as they used to be.

Very much so arvind, with DE’s being broken and not seeing many I find myself going through a whole zone and only getting 2-3 levels in a 10 level range zone. Not for a lack of trying just a lack of DE’s.

I’m just wondering if there are other factors other than just bugged DE’s that could be the result of lower active DE’s around, or is there something else in the equation (like population) affecting how many I see around.

I can't even see what's going on!

I think I’m having the opposite happen. The last few days I’ve been doing events and either find myself alone trying to complete it, or at the most have maybe 6 people completing them. I admit I haven’t done any of the dragons in weeks. I have 2 characters one 80 the other 30 and on each of them I find sometimes I wait at an event in the hopes others come along to help or try to duke it out myself. Although I admit I see more participation on the level 30 char to the level 80.

Broken Dynamic Events

/agree with CHunterX . I thought this also. Some timer or ability to reset an event that the system realises as bugged would be a great bandaid. Certainly not a long term fix but at least people would be able to progress.

Is it my imagination or are dynamic events in the lower level zones not as common as they were when the game first launched?

I have a feeling that DE’s seem to base their triggering on the number of players around. When I leveled my first character he managed to come across a lot of events, he is currently at 90% world complete. I found he was easy to level events seemed to be happening where ever he was or not far away from his current location. I am going through my second character and yesterday I completed over 50% of a zone, and only came across 2 events, and the only reason was because they were both broken and had been there for hours.

I find that to complete my daily achievement list I play on my low level character, complete all steps but the events (usually with 0 done), then log onto my 80 and go do events in the high level areas where events are happening a lot more often, even taking into account broken ones.

Now I’m not sure whether this is just a case of events being broken or not, but even going through say Queensdale I notice events are just not triggering as much as they did in the first 2-3 weeks.

I’m really hoping they are not zone population based because it is going to make it a lot harder to level alts as time goes by because even with level scaling the zones under 30 are already starting to get very empty.
