The Megaserver System looks fine in paper, to help low populated areas and servers gain life. But…
In pratice it fails imo.
Guildwars 2 had a very Dynamic feel, with events leading up to each other, and this world boss sync just ruins that feel.
Aslo it destroys completelly our “sense of community”. It was nice to know 80% of the ppl in a map, see known faces and guilds. etc… now i feel a foreigner on every map i go wich is on megaserver.
i Did worldbosses form time to time cause it was easy to get to them, and fast fun/loot. Now is a headache.
Guildmissions are completelly RIDICULOUS to do. Half of guildies end up in diferent maps. takes 10 minutes just to change parties and taxi every1 to same server (IF the server don’t gets full bef we manage to do that). and after you are able to do that, you will just end up in a place with 10 other guilds lining up in queue trying to do missions as well. My guild waited for 35 minutes on guild jumping puzzle to be able to start it, is ridiculous and kills all the fun,
i undertsand you guys want to revamp low pop servers and for them this might “look” appealing, but isn’t there GUESTING in place for this exact reason – a low pop server can just guest another and have np.
In european servers is just ridiculous to get into a map and mapchat being in french, german, english, spanish, nordic languages, and every1 qqing they don’t understand each other, etc…
I am sorry Anet, but this world boss sync and megaservers only do ONE thing: BROKE WHAT AS WORKING JUST FINE..
Plzplzplz get rid of this idea…. give us our dynamic world back and no megaservers:D
On PvP it rly ain’t that bad as it eliminates the waiting for tPvP.
Gathering Orichalcum and ancient wood will be a disaster i guess and this will have a strong impact in the economy as this are items that have a very high demand always.
on a more happy note: Congrats to all the hard work and for an amazing feature pack. Apart form megaserver all the rest is awesome
/Cheers
