breach/vw and the "fault" of the new players

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Hi there.
So I finally had an afternoon without lags and decided to do silverwastes after quite a time.
Unfortunately, more than half of the vw events failed, breach almost never succeeded. Well, bad luck.

But what really made me upset was that every time the events failed people accused new players for the failure. It was all the fault of the “unexperienced”, they should “l2p”, “learn the mechanics”.

Well, what I´ve seen was that:
1) Most of the players on the map choose the south lane, which is -from what I learned today- called the “bot lane”. I personally don´t think that new or unexperienced players choose this lane just to autoattack.
2) Players refuse to take the waypoint after beeing defeated. I also don´t believe that this is a typical “newbie” behaviour. This is the behaviour of bored and loot-confident veterans. My opinion.
3) Only a few players died because of mechanics, not only one time it was the guy with the tag.

So there are many people on the maps that don´t want to go the extra mile, that just want some loot for autoattacking. That´s their decission.
But I pls don´t blame the few “newbies” for failures that result from an braindead autoattack attitude. There just can´t be so much lazy unexperienced player doing sw the first time and laying around dead after screwing all the boss fights.
They don´t cause breach to end 1/5 and vw 1/3.

It´s the old “easy farm” mentality.
Just wanted to get rid of that.

And that bigger problem could just mean more lag for those of you who are unable to play.

Hard to imagine.

Oh I do understand what I am being told.
I have been told that:
1. It´s just a few people, therefor a) it ain´t got a high priority, not for Anet and certainly not for people without connection problems and b) better a few can´t play instead of risking that others get problems. How egoistic is that?
2. It´s not sure if it is an ANet problem or if my ISP is in charge. I already talked several times to my ISP and complained. So why are you telling me not to complain if ANet doesn´t say a word about this problem for months?? Both took my money.

Okay, I am angry because most of the time I can´t play and no one is helping or even trying to fix it. But what makes me really upset is that people who should be so kitten glad being able to enjoy this game although they payed exact the same money like others, come here and tell me not to complain and just accept that it´s bad luck for me. That I just have to be silent and wait for more months.

Friendliest community, I would really like to hear what you would say, post or accept if it were you who couldn´t play for months.

Magically solved after several months? Well, if that is magic, then I call my self Copperfield.
They need to find the issue? They asked for logs months ago. They also said that they have tried several fixes but so far without success. So what do you think their fixes were? Beating up the Telekom guy?

Besides all that, it´s nothing new for the “minorities of unlucky connection people”, we got that at release, we got it now and we got it in between.

But I´m really happy for you, that you dont have issues or in case I´m wrong then at least don´t seem to bother. Who cares about that 50-100-? guys that can´t enjoy the game. Just minorities. In a big game of happy people.

The “relatively small part of the player base” is relatively kittened.

2 months ago:

Hi,

I’m sorry that this problem is still going on. My associate Mark got some information about this and posted this earlier:

An update on this. The team is actively working towards a solution for the lag issue many of you have experienced. They have already tried a few potential fixes that did not yield the expected results and are continuing to root out potential causes.
Suffice to say, they aren’t ignoring this problem.

So it´s now about 3 weeks that I got constant disconnects and endless lags.
As every evening, since about 30 mins playing is impossible.

There are many threads from players with huge connection problems, theses threads even got merged and got more than 1100 replies. But I can´t see any reaction since about a month from official side.

So, you´re all so proud of this upcoming expansion, but I have to tell you that I couldn´t play a single evening the last weeks without getting mad because of technical issues. I´m not looking forward towards that expansion anymore. And you seem to ignore these problems, that is really poor!

or 3) planned to level another 10 chars to 80 because that´s at least some kind of content.

… for new players. And apparently for not so new players who are forced to.

- understanding how a skill works in less than 30-50 repetitions
- giving cow food to a cow. instead just click scorched corn.
- buying a pick and using it on an ore
- getting a skill point by pressing “f”
- pressing “6” for heal before life <0
- finding your way the 20 meters from quest to quest (sry, hearts, quests are for non innovative mmo´s) without navigation arrow.
- using an autoattack… under water!!! pressing “1” on land is completly different than it is under water.

- handling 10 buttons before reaching level 40

No matter how you feel about certain posters keep it civil and give feedback in this thread. Better chances of being acknowledged.

Better chances of beeing acknowledged? No, better chance of beeing ignored.
Raging at least forces them to tell the community the things they want to hear from time to time… just to forget about it a week later.

It´s fantastic. Now I only need a keyboard with bigger buttons and I can train my dog to farm for me in GW2. It´s about exactly his learning curve. 50 times “skill2”, I bet he understands it in half the time.
It´s not even botting, because my dog has just as much brain as A-Net thinks their average player has.
Well done.

All we really want is actual EndGame content.

I didnt want do comment the demand itself, only the reactions people get.
If someone asks for a new playable race, he mostly gets the same answers: “I dont want it, therefor the devs shouldnt work on it.” And thats exactly what bothers me. It´s just egoistic. It doesn´t matter whats the core of the wish, it´s the way people verbally attack these guys.
Same as the OP should have written “All I really want…”, same should be the responses: “I don´t need…” and not “We don´t need, the game isnt like that, go play something else”.

All we really want is actual EndGame content.

Everytime I see a thread about someone who wishes for more endgame content, I also see him getting torn apart from people basically saying:
- “you have no right to demand more content because I am fine with the content”
- “gw2 never promised the things you are asking for”
- “if you still demand some kind of content that I have no need for, then you´re playing the wrong game”.

Besides the fact that I personally understand that some people don´t want to see their beloved game getting changed in some way, it´s also my opinion that:
If you can´t accept or tolerate the wishes from other players (in this case for more “endgame content”) and react in every discussion with killer arguments, then I think YOU are also playing the wrong game. It´s a multiplayer game and this doesn´t go well along with antisocial behavior.
So if you´re saying “wish for more endgame content → go play wow”, then I say “not accepting or tolerating other peoples opinions or wishes → go play a singleplayer game”!
I´m not just referring to this thread, you can see discussions held in this manner all over the forum.

So A-Net, you were lazy. No armor set, only a costume. It´s easy for you, I understand.
Of course I know that I should only use new gear to humans because most other races look weird because of “stretch and cut”.

BUT I am definetly raging when i see that this costume is clipping like hell if i just drag my weapon and my char looks to the side. That is so poor, you didnt invest one single minute in checking if the costume is ready for sell.

this mentioned commander is now playing on vaabi side.

btw had a lot of fun today, also playing first day for vaabi. only thing i dislike is the jumping/laughing on body of single persons when they´ve been crushed by groups. not a big success and not the time to be overbearing. but thats just my opinion.

looking for tomorrow. thx.
