Guild Wars 2

Asmodean.5820:

The same nonsense happens when you switch to plague form. Sometimes I wonder if it is really intentionally or just the worst programming possible.

As a senior programmer (been doing it for years) my gut tells me these guys are mostly cowboys, sling code, check the happy path and don’t write decent, if any tests.

Seriously, the defects that are in this game would lead to dismissals at my company.

Horrible lag tonight on Blackgate. I usually have no problems but tonight its like everything stops for 2 or 4 seconds, then catches up real fast.

So: Server A has WvWvW open from 6pm-2am PST.

Since people can’t play whenever they want, there’s a mad rush to queue for WvWvW as soon as it opens.

Since they can’t play whenever they want, they’ll stay in WvWvW as long as they can, ensuring nobody else gets in that day.

Congratulations! You’ve just made sure people who have normal day jobs can never WvWvW, since they won’t be home in time to queue.

Sorry how does that change anything now? Your logic makes little sense.

Mog.1589:

Closing WvW servers from X time to X time would be stupid and screw over anybody who plays late night or any late night guilds etc….

The proper solution is to restrict servers by region. I.e. NA players on NA servers only and vice versa.

They could simply choose a server that would open at times good for them. Hardly stupid and had been done in several other RvR centric titles

What titles would those be exactly? I’d like to check them out.

Defunct : Shadowbane
Lineage 1
Lineage 2
Aion

Just to name a few.

Easy fix, designate time zones for servers. One server is a Central server, one an Eastern one an Pacific one an Oceanic etc. And disallow capping of major strategic points during extreme off hours on a server by server basis.

I’m blown away that they haven’t done this yet.

The system is broken, I for one as a BG player hope GW create an oceanic server and start to enforce IP restrictions. Not a popular stance I know, but something needs to be done to level the playing field.

Can someone tell me how to interpret the green vs white in the attributes?
