Guild Wars 2

I’ve had 2 DC’s from bell choir half way through. Its my favourite event of wintersday.

I’ve been playing since launch and love GW2 but by the end of S1 i was getting a bit bored so i took a break but made sure i logged in for every patch and would play that day then log off until the next patch. Having read the release stuff for the feature patch i was hoping that this release would maybe make it a bit better to level an alt. When i logged in today and loaded my level 13, i was disappointed. I played for half an hour before deciding i was being treated like a very new player and rather mift about it. I like the new look of the TP although i couldn’t use it because of the bugs so hopefully ill be able to have another look once its finished. I like that the minis are no longer sent to the materials section when i deposit from my inventory. That is about the extent of my happiness with this patch. I understand that Anet are trying to encourage and help new players learn the game but as a long time player i feel like i’ve been a bit forgotten. As for the new achievments…it looks like a super grind killing things for drops or buying stuff from the TP. My husband refused to even load the patch as he said that as a PvPer he has no interest in the feature. He said that unless your pro or another up and coming then the reward changes don’t really affect you much.
I’ve got my fingers crossed that Anet are working on something for the vets in the nearish future so that i can come back and enjoy a great game the way that i use to because GW2 has got a place in my heart.

That is beautiful Its far from a ‘sad attempt’.

I think they said that the journal part will be level 80 because it is the next instalment for personal story. As far as open work content goes they may scale under level 80s up maybe, like they have done with previous patches. It depends whether the zone is going to be permanent or not i guess. They have mentioned Brisban wildlands on their tumblr so maybe it will be level 80 for the maguuma area and under level 80s can go to brisbane wildlands. As far as what you said about china Zalladi, aren’t they on a completely different version on the game so what level they may NA/EU GW2 area won’t have any effect on China’s game.

In case anyone hadn’t read the patch notes for the four winds.

‘Standing with the supply box traders near the docks in the Labyrinthine Cliffs is an asuran merchant who accepts spare piles of Blade Shards in exchange for Equipment Bags, each containing a piece of masterwork or better gear.’

I want to start with the positives because i feel so many people post rants on the forums about how terrible things are and how badly Anet have done. I think they do an amazing job and i just wanted to make this forum post to possibly help in a constructive criticism way.
I love the megaserver as a whole, having more players around makes things so much more exciting. Events have become more popular and map chat has become a hub of chatter. I’ve found there are more people around to help when i need it and leveling has become a lot more enjoyable too with people around.
I have always been a fan of world bosses too, there a fun way of making some gold and fighting something a more interesting and challenging than other mobs.
As far as the downsides go..
I have had problems with load screens becoming a lot longer and areas get very laggy when events are running because of the large increase in people. It is not unbearable and i can still play but i feel sorry for those with computers not quite as quick as mine.
My main worry is for world bosses, specifically Teq and Triple trouble. These require a lot of team work and communication, previously this has been done server wide normally on a VOIP service meaning that sometimes (not always) the events have been completed successfully. With the new megaserver there seems to be a large decrease in success rate..in my experience anyway.
All in all megaservers are brilliant but i do worry about my beloved world bosses.

I’ve put some on one of my alts but still have a a mass of my bank space taken up by them. Keep getting them drop in EOTM and wondering. I will keep holding on to them though as im sure the vendor will come in eventually

After the Living Story we were told not to through away our blade shards and other living story things we had collected as there would be a vendor put in place for us to use these as currency. Is there a date that this will be put in place yet? I’m running out of bank space

Also do you run it on a desk or on your lap/cover etc? I use to run my laptop on my lap all the time and found it got way too hot. Had never thought that it was because it attracted more dust and fibres from my trousers untill my computer tech told me off

NA Silver League 2nd Place (Yaks Bend)

-1 Mini Dolyak
-1 Taste of Liqiod WxP
-5 scrolls of knowledge
-9 Tomes of knowledge
-1 Essence of Luck (500 Luck)
-3 rare items
-7 green items

Very dissapointed for a 7 week event.. i get more from doing 4 or 5 world bosses in a night.

I played a tPvP match today with my guild and was rather annoyed when the opposing team damaged our treb in Battle of khylo map before the match had begun, only for it to stay that way once the match had actually started.
Can the treb be invulnerable till the match officially starts maybe? I have no idea how simple or difficult this would be to change.
It gives an unfair advantage to the team using the glitch and winds players up to no end.

I know plenty of people who are in pre-made teams for tournaments.

Couple thousand players (760 for NA) is not plenty for an AAA-game.

For the size of the game i guess its not much in comparison but i still think there are enough players to make it enjoyable and worth searching for a team. I still don’t think its ‘dead’, that would imply that there aren’t enough people to warrant doing it. But i do get your point

tPvP might not be as active as other elements of the game but i wouldn’t say it is dead. I know plenty of people who are in pre-made teams for tournaments. Some days seem to be quieter than others in regards to the amount of people tPvPing but as far as just YOLOQing goes, it can be very irritating getting people who don’t co-ordinate and pay attention. I find having a team is a lot more enjoyable and reliable.

Shame your not on NA servers, I’m also from the UK and love running in Yaks Bend, but i have a strange sleeping pattern.
