why not an oceanic server?

One of my officers lives in Australia:

  • the load and reaction times are almost identical to mine.
  • even with the 14 hour time difference we play together almost every day
  • population depends on the server but on ours there are people everywhere all the time

It sounds like your “worried” friends worries are unjustified.

i dont think its to much to ask to be able to play at a reasonable time if your people want to stay up till 2am playing with guildies thats there prerogative but most need sleep at some point……

i find it funny that only 1 Oceanic player actually posted………the rest were from somewhere else telling me i don’t have a problem…..typical, and yes we are apart of western culture….but were in the south east…….just because we speak the same language doesnt mean we share the same internet connection…………. all i was saying was i think its unfair that that american and European servers get the credit for our playerbase and im sure they could fill 3 servers with players from the oceanic region we take up a good 15 servers for some other MMO’s……..look i dont really care the only reason i posted it because i thought the subject was worth some attention….but all you people trying tell me its fine when you dont even live here has annoyed me a bit.

and….people say report them….they are extremely picky in who they take with them and unless i see it and can prove it so theres no point in the accusation……hence the reason behind a public forum….where everyones thoughts and opinions are valid……..anyway im done….said all i need to say if still feel the need to argue your out of luck….

no i can’t expect players not to cheat….but should be able to expect the dev’s to make it hard for them……i sure its not a days work to ban an account for a day or even have a warning message sent out…..no i dont mean selling paths….i mean selling a lesson in exploits…..obviously if a player has the gear the skill to solo paths its in there rights to make some gold off the other 4 spots………obviously it doesnt matter what the reasoning behind it is……someone was gonna have an issue with it…..that is why i made sure i added the phases…..my belief…..my opinion……you can disregard…….if you disagree……….

….did anyone say they were trying to replace life?…….and just because you have decided it’s not for you….there are many out there that dont have many entertainment option…for instance i have a broken ankle…….cant move for 3 months…….and im saying that mmorpgs are my life but i do spend alot of my time invested in this game so….i would like it if players didnt exploit the game for content that is suppose to obtained over time and devalue it for everyone.

no it was never a go at the dev’s at most it was an accusation of ignorance or not understanding the effect these problems have on the game…..i know that sounds arrogant but i know that at times not with this game in particular that dev’s have overlooked some problems thinking that there would be no adverse effect on the game.
These are my beliefs as i said this was my opinion….you could have chosen to disregard it and so could anyone that disagreed.
i think thing like alienation and enabling elitism with content like dungeons in an MMO can stop people playing because its such a big part of the game….for example i donno if you have this problem on your server but it is unbelievable how hard it is to just get a group for explore mode for any dungeon without zerker gear or unless you are mesmer ele or war…….on occasion gaurd.

fair enough, as i said im new to GW2 and enjoy it greatly, but this is a crucial moment for the future of the game with 2 more high budget MMO’s coming out this year i really dont want to see it fall before its time

happy to hear it.
i’d just like to see a good balance in all aspects of a build whether you want to build a tank,heals/buffer,condi, power or crit….i just dont think one way should rule they should all have distinct strengths and weakness’s.

especially because they have taken such a serious stance on exploits for gold before

no its not the speed or skipping its particularly walljumping and on occasion completely passing areas through exploiting mechanics that im worried about also the “Meta” builds which are completely out of balance with all of the other build options. and the fact that ive seen a group of 4 kill the boss Lupi in under 5 seconds is ridiculous, and i dont think its the power of the certain skills thats the issue its the boss’s defence against such things as fiery greatsword spin exploits(basically cornering the boss through kiting and ele’s smash it into the corner with its spin attack and prebuffing). Plus i disagree with people making gold from these practice’s.

For the last few days I’ve been looking up meta builds/speed runs after seeing people charge gold for “run throughs” on my servers LFG window and my question is when did Anet stop caring about exploits? I am a fairly new player when it comes to GW2 but a long time player of other MMORPG’s and i’ve never seen people for lack of a better word break the game like they are doing atm in GW2. What surprised me the most is i found heaps of post from the earlier days of GW2 and there were anything from your standard 72 ban to straight out permaban for genuine exploits to Minor exploits such as trading karma for items then vendoring the items. My point in this thread was that i wanted to express my worries about a great game that i enjoy thoroughly, i dont want to continue to see this game becoming as deep as puddle if you get my meaning…..without a reason for diversity people will stop caring a large part of an mmo is knowing/thinking that your character is unique but when there is no practical reason to have anything other than mesmer/ele/war all dps no tank builds or heal/buff builds or even condi builds whats the point of the others? and once all faults are exploited…..which will not take long or maybe already achieved…the game will die off……and i dont want that and am sure plenty of others will agree, all im asking of Anet is to take back there game and return it to the way it was intended ( this is an assumption but i truly hope 0 diversity and 4 second boss kills was not how it was meant to be)
all this was, was my honest opinion no harm intended.
peace

Why not add Duel.

i think it would be a basic function that would improve the game greatly, for instance any waiting time for dungeons, fractuals, etc could be spent dueling friends and it also creates a competitive element that has been known to create interest in mmorpg’s.

I was just wondering if there was a reason behind the decision to not have oceanic servers. A lot of the people i know that play mmorpgs refuse to play gw2 for this reason alone they have no problem with the game its self actually most of them prefer to the games they play, but because of worries such as ping and never finding people on at the times they play refuse to get the game. If anyway one could answer this question for it would be much appreciated thanks.
P.s my understanding is that there is a large oceanic player base on a couple of existing servers such as sea of sorrow i believe has the biggest player base from the oceanic region.
