One day I’m expecting to read a detailed postmortem in Ars Technica or WIRED about how ArenaNet were misled by their own metrics. It’ll be a nice cautionary tale.
you obliterated the usefulness of commander tags because now everyone is using a different colored tag on every map and there is no order in any of it, and its just unbearable.
I’m wondering if you stuck it in there just to check if people actually read your post, because that is pure kitten. It’s a feature that was requested and implemented via direct dev discussion with the player community in the forums.
So if you don’t like multiple commander tag colors, take it up with your fellow players.
If the changes were meant for new players, then they obviously failed with this OP. What baffles me is that the changes are from how the game is in China. Um…ok…what does that have to do with us? Just because we have a lot of “Made in China” merch on our shelves doesn’t mean we need some hostile takeover of a game that was fun to play!
The Chinese players aren’t very fond of the changes, either.
I’m lacking the pristine fractal relics, so I joined a fractal party.
Ran into the new hammer bug (where the hammer in cliffside doesn’t reappear no matter how many times everyone suicides). Thanks for reminding me why I HATE fractals.
I don’t mind grind that much. However, I do mind gating things behind bug infested crap.
Can somebody make a better translation than this so that we can warn them of the bullkitten they are doing to Guild Wars 2? I don’t speak Chinese, so I only used Google translate to make a statement for the Chinese players.
Haha, within 2 days of the pre-launch there are already a couple of level 80s.
A livestreamer also managed to get 100% map completion (and no, he hasn’t reached level 80 yet)
I had a super epic encounter last night where everyone in my champion ring died except for me almost immediately (we were fighting the shrieker). Then, I went on to solo the boss, killing it with 20 seconds to spare, and managed to finish off the power regulator with less than a half-second remaining on the clock. All of this was happening to the cheers in /say chat from the viewers, stunned that a Necromancer of all things soloed the boss and ultimately broke the chain. We went on to win the whole thing because of that success (we had no failures allowed left before bar filled), and it made me swell with pride to think that not only had I achieved something truly great and not only had I benefited about 100 other people, but that a group of them watched it in disbelief and cheered me on. It was nerve-wracking and absolutely unforgettably amazing.
It’s moments like these that I remember forever, and for that, I thank ANet for making such an amazing and awesome fight where I could show off my personal skill and make a difference for everyone.
I had something really similar happen to me as well! No more failures allowed, everyone else on my platform was down, and I managed to kill the boss (as a squishy mesmer) with freaking 8 health remaining. We went on to win.
Oh and tha SEA time zerg is most likely our lovely commander Olaf lol
And we don’t have 80 people ever in the SEA time zerg… everyone is terrible at estimating numbers.
Remember, when you look at a bunch of red names in the distance, they’re all compressed together so you think there’s more people. Just halve your initial estimate.
SBI bl about an hour ago, we had a group of about 30 with us where SBI backed into the north camp with a group of about 40-50 and built like 2 superior ballistas and 2 superior ac’s when we tried to bait them out to have a good fight they wouldn’t come out so eventually we balls deeped in.
Did you see them build siege, or was the siege already there long beforehand?
He may not have been trying too, but he was none the less. The griefer just went from objective to objective setting it up for Olaf zerg to follow along.
Were you online at that time? I was following Olaf, and from what I observed, there were a total of three Maguuma defenders in your keeps when we took them. I doubt the griefer made much of a difference.
If you really believe that, then you are 100% delusional.
When we lose, we accept it and try to improve for the next encounter. When sbi or mag loses, you both make excuses and try to rationalize it. Super classy.
Don’t mind our form warriors. To be honest, SBI’s PvF is embarrassing to say the least.
Y’all realize that almost everyone who busted kitten for the league is taking a break this week? I don’t care what server you play on; maybe stow the kitten for a couple days?
Yeah, because YB’s final league matchup was soooo stressful, I symphathize
We definitely didn’t have 40, and your screenshot cuts off the rest of the group behind you. Not sure why you’re trying so hard, it’s not like you have anything to prove.
Regardless of all the PvF, the people I’ve come across in-game have actually been relatively civil this matchup. Cheers to everyone for the good sportsmanship.
SBI had a SEA guild transfer in a couple weeks prior, but we still get the outmanned buff on one or two BLs during that timeslot. But we’re up against DB, so no surprises there.
