Guild Wars 2

I thought all of the events associated were fine except for the clock tower, which had the difficulty scaled way too high for what is supposed to be a fun holiday event.

However, I felt that the drop rate on the Hallowe’en goodies was extremely bad and very disappointing. It’s led to profiteering by people who are selling the extremely rare skins for 50+ gold now. I’m not against capitalism but I felt that this was supposed to be a fun event to do on a lark and get a couple of items to remember it by. It doesn’t seem appropriate to turn it into a gold grab by lucky players.

I would have liked to have gotten a weapon skin to play about with.

I gave up after a couple of multi-hour sessions of trying over and over. I could get almost to the top but invariably died or had the skeleton hands pull me into the green goo.

I think that this puzzle is much too difficult for what should be a fun holiday event.

“and before anyone starts trolling… i apologize that i have a life a job and a family and cant spend every minute of every day on guild wars and didnt make it to level 80 within a week of release”

Are you implying that anyone with an 80 now hasn’t got a life or a job? It’s well past “within a week of release”.

I have a life, a job, a family, and I certainly don’t spend every minute of every day on GW2, and yet I managed to get myself to level 80.

People would probably be more willing to help you if you weren’t so bitter, angry, and insulting.

I thought that everyone in the zone would have had to fight the Mad King in Lion’s Arch and maybe push him back into his realm. I was disappointed that it was just a cutscene (in which I didn’t get to see the Mad King at all) but such is life. I’m sure ArenaNet will take the feedback they’ve got from this event and improve the Christmas event in two months.

I got the bag and nothing but greens.

I’ve not been able to find a door to the tower all morning nor get the events going to open them.

I am a dark, dread Necromancer. I do not see why I have to wear all these bloody feathers, bows, and ribbons all the time. I really, really hate them. There are way too many flowy bits. I want simple armour that covers my entire bottom and chest. Something with skulls.

I think they should add a second rank to WvWvW battlegrounds called Captain that can set up medium sized squads (15ish people) that can raid supply camps and the smaller towers but not pull the zerg to them because everyone won’t be able to see the Captain except the squad.

Last night was so bad that even my own character model was invisible. I could only see the pets of both enemies and friends and my three party members. Everyone else was invisible.

On the plus side, it made finding loot bags easier.

I hope it’s fixed.

The 100 gold thing makes it a commitment but also lets people who are good at trading or crafting get it easily.

Make it so you have to complete a certain number of WvW achievements before you can buy the book. The system is already there. Use it.

Voting is bad. It will become a popularity contest. Someone with a huge guild but no skills will always get voted.

Make Commander based on 100g and WvW achievements. The achievement system is already in place. Have people who want to become commanders have to clear a certain portion of it before they’re allowed to buy a book. At least then we’d know that someone with a Commander icon has at least been on the battlefield before and not just been lucky at the auction house or at crafting.

Why don’t they just make worldwide servers? I’ve run into people from Australia, Japan, and Europe on Blackgate and I’ve read about the dreaded French Canadians on the European servers. Final Fantasy XI servers were worldwide back in 2003 and they only had very minor latency issues that are surely better nearly a decade later. Around the clock population would be a around the clock war.

I assumed it was because players on different servers might have the same name and this fixes that? I have never seen any mention of anything like that, perhaps everyone has a name that is unique to all of the servers.

The Survivor Achievement resets every time I log out. I was at 85k, 15k from the 100k monthly and I randomly disconnected and lost all of my progress. I don’t have many chances to sit down and play for the many hours it takes to get 100k in one sitting without logging out (or without moving maps). This really has to be changed so people can lot out or change maps if they’ve finished a zone.
