Guild Wars 2

Look, I’m not trying to be entitled. I don’t usually post on game forums because I know how caustic the community tends to be. The only reason I’m posting this is because I really care about the game that I’ve been playing for a year now. Up until now, I’ve felt like Arena.net has really valued my time and treated me well.

This is the first time I’ve felt like there was an arbitrary restriction gating me from experiencing the Living Story. I thought it was worth bringing it up in case it could possibly affect their design discussions in the future.

I don’t want to just add my voice to the chorus, but for the most part this update is the first time I’ve felt like Arena.net doesn’t value my time. I’m a father of two young kids and I can only log on for an hour or so every night around the same time. Up until now, I’ve basically been able to complete all the content slowly but surely over the month.

However, since I can only advance the Emissary Vorpp’s Field Assistant achievements if I complete invasions on new maps, I’ve been stuck at 4/5 for a couple days because I’ve seen the same maps when I was able to sign on.

I don’t understand why I can’t do the same maps once a day and advance the achievements. The event takes nearly an hour, so I can only do one, maybe two a night. Now I’m not sure I’ll be able to see Scarlet’s Funhouse because I’m worried I’ll see the same maps every night.

It really feels like Arena.net is punishing legitimate players in order to force farmers to go to different maps, and given the amount of time required to complete the event, it just seems completely unnecessary.
