Guild Wars 2

I agree with Morrigan on this – there have been lots of whining before with doom and gloom, but this is quite something else.

Once communities begin vanishing, there’s likely going to be a huge flux of players leaving. Of course if you have lots of new players coming in, then that’s alright (for the game to be hopefully profitable).

I voiced my feedback in a different thread in General Discussion. As above, I’m adding my voice to this: the megaserver idea was probably a good idea in theory, but horrible in the sense that existing communities are being destroyed at an alarming rate.

You certainly don’t need me to explain the economics of hurting your community player base.

Alright, I’ve only just realized how toxic the community has become with the recent Megaserver change – the situation is bad enough to force me to come here and post my feedback (I don’t hang around much on the forums). First off – I’m from TC (N.A.).

While most of the areas are seemingly more populated with people from different servers, the immediate “trade-off” / observation by me is a spike in antisocial behavior. My guess is that these players were generally isolated to servers that players migrated out of, worse yet, the lack of accountability within a ‘fixed’ community will exacerbate their disregard for others’ playing experience.

There are many issues here, they are not new and were definitely covered by previous posters – but my opinion is that this is game breaking for myself:

I chose to play on a specific server because of its community, now that choice is nullified. I left another server because I found the player base there unfriendly, lo and behold, these people are now unleashed into my playing experience. Furthermore, the community and familiar faces I know have “gone missing” because of the system.

I have even more pity for people in EU having language differences, and from what I’ve heard, no, a language filter is not a FIX.

While we’re at this, I paid a handy (1,600?) gems to get into TC, will you refund this to me? You should refund EVERYONE who has done a server change and paid for it.

Edit: Like many others, I will be watching these forums closely for an official response on this and how they intend to go forward. Until then, I will not login to GW2 as a sign of protest.

Good to know that I’m not the only one who was puzzled by this. It’s still broken for me, I’m somewhere halfway through all the achievements though. Hope there will be fix as I think this counts towards meta?

+1 to this thread, and a shameless bump

My legendary: The Predator

I’ve been working on its progress more rigorously for about 3 months now. What I’m missing:

Gift of Fortune
- 30% there for Gift of Might and Gift of Magic T6 materials
- Have all the Ectos needed
- Have the mystic clovers

Precursor

Some general comments:

I’ve found the lodestones to be the most painful part of the process – I ended up paying lots of gold to buy them instead of grinding it.

I’m also not going to use the “Mystic Toilet Bowl” and will wait for a precursor to drop from a dragon chest. I absolutely abhor gambling.

Some advice (completely unsolicited of course):

Getting the Badge of Honor:

You should run the the “Mistwrought Vault” jumping puzzle every day. Each character on your account can run it once per 24 hours, and there are 3 borderlands. You can get up a maximum of 18 badges per character per day.

Good luck to anyone else who is trying to get their first Legendary!

Now open on Anvil Rock! North American Server. Quickly come grab your shards!
