Guild Wars 2

TransparentlyOpaque.1824:

MAD KING Event 1 Time Event!!!!!!!!

Pacific Players Panic, What Will Happen? I’ll Quit if I Cannot Be a Part of the One Time Event!

Event comes, its a brief cinematic. Feel like you missed anything? Probably not.

Queue November One Time Event:

OH NO ILL MISS THE ONE TIME EVENT!!

Its probably another brief cinematic, signalling to players that they can now enter the new instance. You wont miss anything, im sure the cinematic can be viewed on utube again only minutes after it happens live.

Once again some player who either doesn’t care about these things or is always on for them and usually doesn’t miss out makes a post on how we’re all over-reacting.

Sorry, but there are ways to cater for everyone to get in on the fun times. When you’re a part of the minority and genuinely enjoy these events, its really frustrating missing out on them. So yes, I’ll probably be awake at 6:30 am for this each day, but what happens to all those players who love this game and promoted all of their friends to buy it and enjoy it that miss out?

I’ll say again, there are ways to include everyone. Probably too late for this event specifically but AANET, please look into it for future events.

WoW has been using instancing since Wrath.
Possible solution right there.
TSW also uses instancing for some quests where you are automatically grouped into an instance with other people for basic quests too.
Also, GW2 uses this kind of instancing for every starting area.

To be honest this is kind of bad, a one time event.
You have a large overseas support in oceania and 2000GMT is 7am Saturday/Sunday/Monday for us.
The majority of Oceanic players will miss out on this event, and especially the finale as it is a work day.

IMHO the event should be run multiple times but users may only get any rewards from it once. It’s not new that oceanic players miss out again, but it still feels pretty bad every time we get passed over for something like this. (other phrases come to mind but i’m trying to be nice here)
