Guild Wars 2

I’m trying my best to see this from all views here.

Yes, the Halloween event starting late is an inconvenience. I don’t mind waiting until tomorrow. I came home from worked, psyched to start the event with my friends. The fact we didn’t get to play is a major bummer, but it’s one I’m willing to deal with.

However, I do find the lack of organization on A-net’s part a little disgruntling. When you give someone a time, it’s only polite to be punctual. And while I know that A-net obviously isn’t doing this on purpose, the whole thing is a bit… Sloppy.

And yes, the content update is free. But that is what we paid for when we bought an MMO promised to provide free updates. That is why I planned to buy at least 20 dollars in gems to support the team this event. As customers, providing feedback to the company helps them know what they can do to make a better product. And in the end, that’s what we all want. Constructive criticism is a GOOD thing, and I don’t think it’s completely unwarranted in this case.

So when it comes down to it, here’s what needs to be done in the future:

- Release this event when it’s ready, tomorrow if necessary. No sense crying over spilled milk.
- Learn from this event.
- Organize time and resources more efficiently so that next event is prepared and ready to launch BEFORE the day it’s expected to go live.

Less stress for all of us. You can’t tell me that everyone at Anet isn’t ripping out their hair right now trying to get the event live.
