Guild Wars 2

notebene.3190:

Thanks folks. On a brighter note, they are starting to get more fun, and I’m starting to learn where I’m supposed to be in each of the cases and what I’m supposed to do. Still haven’t figured out how to avoid all the little red circles at whats-her-name, hopefully I’ll learn that before I run out of revive orbs.

I see there’s a monthly for them too. I’ll need to do one more round beyond what I need for Mawdry for that. I may just end up enjoying them enough to at least do what I’d need to for the monthly until I get better.

Which…if they were trying to nudge people into trying more things without overwhelming them, I guess mission accomplished. Still a little stressful for me, but getting not as scary, and for the most part, everyone in my pugs has been great, which I wasn’t expecting.

One more fractal day, one little mini dungeon thing (not Forsaken, I got that done, and actually happened to go when enough other people were there that I got the Explorer credit for the whole thing, which was awesome) and then I need to go grind out enough geodes for another round of bricks, and I think I got it!

Side note: Complete side note, but did anyone end up with an extra Chaos Orb that doesn’t seem to need to be completed or end up in any finished product after, I assume, making the back piece before Mawdry? I have an extra one, and it doesn’t seem like I need it, but was reluctant to throw it away. :\

If you are finding Fractals fun, if you are on the NA servers I would totally be willing to teach/explain fractals for you. The Mai Trin fight is a copy of the end half of her mini-dungeon from the last living story arc. The Cannons part with all the circles are on the ground the key is to NOT panic. Wait till you see the red circles and dodge into even a small space where there is no red. Be prepared to dodge multiple times sometimes. The other key is to spread out and avoid being near people as possible. Usually the formation is all one person to each corner of the room, and one person (usually a tanky person like War or Guardian who can take a few hits if things go bad) is in the middle part.

Also, for that fight just know even very experienced people sometimes fall down because the pattern of the red is kinda random at times. Note: try not to res someone Who is downed during the Cannon attack, wait until its over and Mai is back to try and res people.

- There are bugs! We’ve seen the content direction system (the little arrow) pointing people at super high level maps when it shouldn’t, some systems/features not unlocking as intended for all characters on your account once your first learns them, some systems level gated that aren’t intended to be, balance issues where certain levels appear to be very out of whack, etc. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, our team is working to figure out what happened here and fix these as quickly as possible.

That isn’t just this patch. That happens every patch.

I dont think I remember a single patch (big or small) coming out without bugs and that didnt unintentionally break other aspects of the game. Often new bugs are introduced and other times there are unintended consequences that could easily have been spotted/predicted with a bare minimum of testing.

There is unambiguously a QA issue with your process. This reflects poorly on the game and casts doubt in your ability to realise future projects.

For instance, when the megaserver was announced I had absolutely no expectation that it would be working as described/intended, and it wasnt. 5 months and a whole feature pack later and we have entirely new preposterous bugs (i.e., join missing).

We aren’t your beta test.

Please take a long look at your QA process.

every game I’ve ever played including thigns like D3, WoW, PWI, SWTOR, ArcheAge(korean),Warframe and even single player games like Torchlight, The Sims, etc have all had bugs every. single. patch. Some of them seriously screwed up bugs that make certain things unplayable. Simple fact is you cannot test for a live environment no matter how you try. There will always be bugs in any code of any game. Some are easy fixes and some are not. Just do alittle research into any games update forums and see all the bugs.

D3, WoW have PTRs and they test for MONTHS in advance and still have sometimes game breaking bugs. D3 is dealing with a fine collection of them from their recent patch =/

TL;DR – Bugs on Live is not a GW2 Problem, its a Gaming Problem that is not easily solved, even by QA/PTRs.

OmniPotentes.4817:

Pro tip. Take a break. I skipped a day of play and got an Endless Bat Tonic from a single stack of ToTs after just a few minutes upon my return. Deminishing returns is bound to kick in. Whether your farming the laberynt or just standing around in LA opening bags all day.

Bags do not trigger Dimishing Returns. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Diminishing_returns

Linken.6345:

I did a fractal with a 161 guy afew hours ago aparently thats max.

S/He said it was from doing normal content with boosters only but I really dubt they havent done cof p1 farm for the tyria masterys atleast.

It is NOT humanly possible to get 50+ mastery since HoT got released doing normal content with all boosters and consumables stacked up.

Anyone who says otherwise is lying.

What on earth are you talking about? Sitting at 60 Mastery Ranks right now and I didn’t even USE boosters for most of it. Farming Silverwastes, Cursed Shore, and a little map completion killing all the mobs I found for the bonus XP (while hunting Hero Points for my Tempest) and I had all my core masteries done in three days. That’s 49 Mastery Points right there. Doesn’t take long, the longest one was the Legendary Crafting one which was about 12.1mil XP total for all levels.

After that just doing the Personal Story and 100% map completing Verdant brink, and getting all Hero Points in VB and Auric Basin got me all the EXP I needed for the other 11 Mastery Points I needed.

I think you underestimate the amoutn of EXP you can get from boosters, and heck just playing normally in the new Maguuma maps. The story alone gave Writs of Mastery EXP which was quite a bit by itself. Doing VB Meta T4 Day and Night Cycle at 200% participation is also a tone of EXP for Meta Event Upgrades. I think the final chest contains over 30k EXP and that’s just the chest reward not counting the massive amounts of events that run and all the mobs give EXP.

To quote the great Canach “We are NOT your enemy!” =(

cuddles her many Sylvari This is exactly why I don’t like how dark the storyline is going. Its just too much to be accosted for being a race. There is more than enough of this IRL to want to deal with it in a game. I don’t find it funny or a joke. If you see me in game don’t say that crap to me even jokingly.

I actually quite enjoy the darkness in the story. It just goes to show that not all is as it seems even with the seemingly shiny sylvari. It also helps explain how the sylvari came to be. Spontaneously sprouting from a tree requires an enormous amount of magic and what better way to explain that than a dragon?

I especially liked how they delved into the back story of Faolain’s descent into Nightmare.

However, all the deviousness is why I prefer playing charr. Nice and blunt, like a hammer to the face

I am not talking about the game itself delving into it. Because I know that the Devs and writers are going to take great care in how they tell this story. It is going to be a very enlightening and lore building story for a race we know very little about. For that I am excited. I want to know where my favorite and most played race comes from.

What I am bothered by is the way the player-base will handle it.. and judging by this thread and some things I read on map chat yesterday, proves the player base CANNOT handle it. I am just fearful for people thinking its okay to start actually doing things like kicking Sylvari from their groups, or guilds etc. It may be a “ha ha” joke right now. But it happens in real life all the time and it is not fun. I don’t want my game life to emulate my real life.

I’ve reserved judgement on this until now. I have given it a week-ish and I personally have found I don’t mind it at all. Might even pick one up myself for sheer fact I love the little sayings.

Vayne.8563:

apparently works on the test server but didn’t work properly when the game went live.

This. How do you know this.

He explained how he knows it. His friend follows the Chinese client news closely.

Swizzle, I am sorry but if you want to be mad for the sake of being mad, go ahead. But dang when people give you the flat out facts and you refused to accept them its really grating. Just relax a little.

Wait it out, or don’t. No one is forcing your hand to stay here if you are not happy.

Deedrick.4372:

I have yet to see any one qualified to fill the op’s request….

the ones i posted qualify. like you I have not seen any others who come close.

I happen to love my humans though I don’t have very many of them. I think they are all fantastic as are MOST of the characters people have posted. How shameful of you to be so hateful to others. Beauty is subjective.

Hmm now jsut Tribal Armor, can we put ALL the PvP exclusive armors in a Track? C’moooon. I want the medium one so bad I love it.

They removed being able to die in the starting Story Mode Instance LONG before this change happened… just so you know. You can die in 1-15 zone … I died on purpose a couple times to test.

See, these are the things they should be working on fixing. If people stop and took the time to go through it. We could FIND these issues and bring them up. But instead we got a couple crappy YouTube Videos and the Forum Community loses their minds over things that AREN’T a problem and we’re missing out on the things that could be tweaked/fixed to make it a smoother experience for newer players.

They rotate out weekly.

There are those of us Sylvari who have come to embrace our Dragon Overlord. After much time I figure if I am going to be persecuted I might as well have a little fun!

So Sylvari, Brothers, Sisters, Petals and Roots show me your Mordremoth themed Style!

(Note: this is for fun please keep it lighthearted and no actual player attacks or anything)

I present to you my newest warrior: Mordrem Rage!

Paradox.1380:

A couple things:

1. Anything you’ve unlocked on your characters will STAY Unlocked. They aren’t going to take it away from you and make you “re-earn” it. I’m almsot positive everythign will be retroactive and grandfathered in like the first couple of changes.
2. Outside of the Old Trait Hunting thing (that wasn’t part of the NPE anyway) the NPE is actually easy and almost entirely unnoticeable to Veteran accounts. I have made over 10 characters since the NPE, a few of them I leveled up to “experience” it, and once they fixed all teh bugs (within less than a week mind you), I almost didn’t notice ANY difference at all. In fact with leveling accelerated from 2-15, I can get it in less than 30 minutes. In less than and hour I can be level 20 and the NPE no longer affects me at all other than a few of the “lock” outs like your last utility and Elite.

The system is FAR better than the one we have now, and this is coming form someone who didn’t even mind the trait hunting thing.

1. According to video leveling 80 only gives you 400 hero points. Which means you have to do map completion for rest of hero points regardless of you did the skill challenge or not. There is a possibility that all skill challenge will reset since they did mention they will change skill challenge into hero challenge.
2. Just because you liked to do map completion 10 times in a row doesn’t mean everyone liked it. I doubt you killed the huge Grub in EB 10 times for each of your alts. Fix bugs less than a week? Map completion for 1 trait was in there for so long until NPE thread reached over 3000 responses. Then they changed it, but it is still a mindless time/gold/skill sink. There is absolutely no reason why I have to do the same thing for each of my characters. Also NPE still affects you beyond 22 because you can’t even have full trait lines until you are level 80. You clearly did not “experience” NPE

1. But they aren’t going to take away you skills/traits that you’ve already unlocked. They never have i the past, ever. They’ve always let whatever you already had unlocked say there. The only thing the rolls to the new system is what you haven’t unlocked, and any new character you make will also have to unlock with the new system.
2. The NPE only touches you about levels 1-30. After that its essentially and completely the same as it always was. I have never done full map completion on all my alts. In fact I only have 100% on about 3 of them. The other 16 have 50% or less, and let me tell you, its not that hard to press F to Commune with a Place of Power while I’m out doing dungeons or something on said new alt.

You’re blowing this out of proportion drastically.

EDIT: Also The NPE has NOTHING at all to do with Traits. The Trait Hunting Changes happened in September 2013 and were aimed at VETERAN players who wanted to “hunt skills” like GW1. They admitted they didn’t do the system justice, that’s why they are changing it again. the NPE happened in April 2014, and it is largely fine and there was nothing wrong with it after a week of its inception when they fixed the bugs for veteran players not seeing nodes and skill challenges on their alts. That is all fixed now and has been.

You cannot prevent all bugs. Its not possible to test for the live environment. Many things that happen as such are being fixed anyway. Hot fixes happen for almost every live game there is. Things will be fixed and stablized. I think ANet does a fine job of squashing the bugs.

Khisanth.2948:

Does that mean they can get rid of that useless name plate when pressing alt now?

You can unbind that yourself. =) Go to the Keybinds section and its down in Miscellaneous.

Paradox.1380:

Hey Corvus! I never heard of you before (which is a shame on me cause wow I love your composes videos!) but thanks to this post I found a new person to subscribe to! I won’t be entering a t-shirt contest since I couldn’t wear it if I won it (they never go to my size) but I think that is a cool thing to do and I just wanted to let you know you earned a new sub from me today out of your sheer awesomeness.

Wow, dude! Seriously, thank you so much. It means a lot that people enjoy my content – I don’t do it for any other reason than to entertain and inspire other people who share my love for this amazing game.

No need to thank me really. Your content is quite wonderful and speaks for itself. So thank YOU for making it and I shall continue to enjoy it in the future. =D

There are plenty of us that farm maps and make maps to do the events as intended. Last night my friend and I stayed in one map for three successful breaches in the same map. We almost always got the map full or near full by 20% with Advertising the map on LFG. There are A LOT of people who like to do the events. You just have to look through the LFG and be a little patient at times.

Just FYI ANet’s Answer to Dueling is Custom Arenas. They’ve come out and said as much. Sooo get a Custom Arena and duel your friends.

What were you doing that it took you 30 minutes to reach level 4? Just out of curiosity. You are level 2 within about a minute because the starting story instance gives you a whole level. Uncovering bits of the first map you will level again very shortly and all maps 1-15 have a heart very near where you start out, putting you at level 3 when its done. One more heart or a couple of vistas or PoIs or maybe a little event which there are many fast cycling events in the low zones and you are 4. All in about 5 minutes tops.

If you do hearts or any events at all they are about 1 level a piece of experience until level 15.

Also if you want to do story you can craft your way to 80 rather easily and quickly.

Why not do it for yourself? Spend 15$ a month… use them to buy gold and tada what LITTLE DR there is in the game is compensated for by your 15$ worth of gold each month. Or get like a real farmer and just move on to something else when you hit DR. Its really not hard, plus doing more things becomes more fun in the long run anyway.

I am excited to see this. I am excited for what’s to come next. Can’t wait to see how it all pans out.

EDIT: I just want to know what is so wrong with giving Lower population servers a chance to be part of the community. There is nothing wrong, we’re the Guild Wars 2 Community, not the Blackgate, Dragonbrand, Tarnished Coast, Henge, ETC Communities. I love my server just as much as anyone else, but kitten why does everyone wanna keep everyone else out? o.o; If you are friends with someone add them to your list, in a guild with someone then there’s no problem there’s already lines of communication open. Just right click their name and Join Their Map. If theirs is full, have them join yours. Tada.

Those were never, ever free. You ahve to open black Lion chests for them. And later they put in a special recipe for the mystic forge where you could turn your over abundance of Mystery Tonics and Boosters into Mad King bags for a shot at them as well.

I’m a Knight’s/Clerics Guardian and really, all I have to say is stop making us look bad. Get your AR and suck it up. You have to play the role you cast yourself into. If your group wants to melee DPS down the boss bring what is required to get it done. I do Fracs all the way to 50 almost every day on my guardian. You can say goodbye, I say good riddance. If you are going into an encounter ill-prepared yourself how can you expect your team to be? Trait properly so your wall last’s long enough to reduce the fire, make sure you’re not using Empower and overwriting might stack duration, bring your greatsword, and your sword/focus. Also make certain that instead of using your shouts to remove the condis, use the Virtue Trait that clears condi so you can put more useful traits like one that gives aegis. IF you are going to play the support role remember its about supporting others not yourself. Also you should always run shelter in Molten Boss.

I don’t think you can report someone for AFKing on a map…There is an AFK timer for that reason. And Having a skill on Auto-Use does not prevent you from being kicked anymore from what I can tell. I have had to AFK many times (though I always port back to the Pact base if I can help it) while farming SW. AFKing is NOT a bannable offense and you are likely to get banned yourself for abusing the report function. You just have to deal. Just stop Resing them. Also, asking someone if they are AFK is not a good way to determine if they are or not they may not speak English, or they may not see the chat or have it turned off.. I often have the Combat log on to avoid chatting.

The long and short of it is you just have to deal with it. People shouldn’t have to worry that going AFK might get them reported/banned. That’s just silly.

Paradox.1380:

Haters are going to continue to hate. But for the vast majority that this was just a shocking thing. I am glad to see it FINALLY calming down, and I am actually honored that ANet took the development time to sit back, rethink something on the fly and tweak it as needed. Generally I think the NPE is an all around good and I am very happy to see all of the “Account” unlocks now working properly and that new things were added making it ever-easier to continue being my alt-o-holic self. Not that I ever intended to stop Its just nice that its more smooth now.

I usually agree with what you say, but I really don’t like using the word “haters” to describe people who don’t like the game. It’s no better than them trying to dismiss our opinion by calling us white knights. People hate this game for a reason, and often it’s a legitimate reason to them.

In general, though, I think most of the population will be mollified by these changes, and those who aren’t probably didn’t like the game’s direction that much to begin with.

Hmm. a little tit for tat never hurt anyone? And I wasn’t generally directing that at any person just a general statement about someone who said the “people that hate the topic will take it over.” I was simply voicing my opinion the subject. There are people that Actually hate the content, and then there are “haters” (as I call them) who just want to cause problems, stir up things, and generally bait people who may not necessarily speak their minds against them.

Then again, I didn’t write it to offend anyone, but if they are offended by me calling them haters, sorry, not sorry. It’s actually how I feel. Even the most legitimate reasons for disliking something annoy me when its tossed around in anger. I commend people who dislike something when they say it in a good way and I rather detest people who blindly hate things and give no valid solutions otherwise.

Did ever occur to you that some of these problems are really really old problems and that the solutions these so called “haters” have given time and time again have fallen on deaf ears when they decided to make the suggestions folder an archive? Meanwhile here in the general forums every new suggestion is a rehashed one of something someone already said in the suggestions folder over and over again ad nauseum.

Vayne, kinda got what I meant by what I said… But I wanted to elaborate on what I mean by “hater.”

My definition of a hater is someone who blindly hates anything and everything done to change. And then when in this case ANet changes something to try to meet a middle ground its met with “Well it should have been this way from the start!” or “It’s not good enough you didn’t give me Exactly what I want.” Or the go on rants about things they hate, but don’t offer anything as a solution to what they want, and the blatantly ignore the stickied post about how to leave good feedback.

And furthermore what I meant was in that many instances where people, instead of trying it out themselves, took to video and kept rehashing the same things over and over again as “unacceptable ANET!” when a good majority of it wasn’t true. Then when someone like me comes out who went out and purposefully tried it out, tells them the opposite and offers them the proof. I am then attacked (or completely ignored while they continue to rant against any logical thought), because I am a “White Knight” or a “Fan Girl” who follows every word of ANet like its law.

This is not true and yah, I’ll admit reading some posts in this thread I’m a little miffed. Sorry I lost my white knight cloak for a moment.. I’ll remember not to next time =/

I generally support the game this is true because I have somewhat of the same viewpoints as they do on things. I don’t know. But, I understand not everyone is going to think like me. Doesn’t mean I’m not human and can’t get agitated at out right ignorance or attacks.

I see you, Vayne, your point is valid. But I don’t like raids mostly because I CAN’T Raid. I’ve tried so many times and I don’t have the coordination. So I will never have Legendary Armor and that makes me sad. For me all this so-called easy content over the years has never been easy. I’ve hated feeling like a second class citizen because things others found easy were near-impossible for me to do. I really wish people could get alone and stop polarizing others. Guild Wars 2 is the first MMO that I’ve actually felt I had some success at. It’s casual nature spoke to my heart because it was something I could do to some degree and feel accomplished. I’ll never be the best, I’ll never have everything, but I shouldn’t be locked out of rewards in a GAME because I am not good enough at something. I don’t need lectures about how life doesn’t give you everything. Trust I struggle in my daily life every, single day, about things not being handed to me. Things people find simple and easy tasks are hard for me. But in a game I shouldn’t always have to worry about that. I should at least have the option to struggle my way through it. It’s taken me near 4 years to get three legendaries and I worked so hard for them. I am proud of my accomplishments and I should be allowed access to legendary armor regardless of the reason I want it. I dislike rewards being locked off to one game-type. I’m all for more options, more paths with the same goal. The special snowflake status some people feel at being elite should not dictate the rewards I get for my investments. I paid the same 50$ they did.

So, way back when I first beta’d this game there was one thing that troubled me slightly. I kept losing my character in the sea of others doing events and things. It was distressing, but I moved past it and got better, but in the back of my vain little head I always wished to see my own name above my head with my titles. It’s a staple of most MMOs and the like and I always wanted it here. I used to have my party members T-target me in dungeons and stuff for fun just to see it. Then a few months ago ANet added a way for you to see your name with the Alt Key and I rejoiced a little inside. Tonight I was helping a friend in spvp set up their keybinds and I noticed that there is a toggle for “Always Show My Name” cheekily placed in the options. I didn’t see this in the patch notes anywhere or in any news, and I just lept for joy.

This may be No big deal for some, but for me its the little things like that that I REALLY appreciate. Just that the option is there means a lot. So thanks for this! It’s epic and I love it! I also love that it’s a thing I can turn off on a whim as well.

TL;DR: ANet secretly added in an option for me to always see my characters name/title without a key press; I am happy as Kittens about it and thought others should know! =D

Welp, I played every moment I could spare in Lab, and bought countless stacks of ToT bags. I am having to be done with halloween event since I must sleep soon and then by the time I am able to play tomorrow Event will be gone. in that time I got 1 ZuZu, Some Pillows and 1 Endless Halloween Tonic. No Puppy, and no other unique reward. I am sad but mostly because I tried so kitten

the plus side every one of my alts now has 100 slots of inventory space and once I stopped buying more bags like the first week I was able to outfit my newest alt with all the Corrupted Weapons, and a nice set of gear from the money I made. Not an entire loss, but I really would have loved Gwyn. =(

Doing this on MY Sylvari was weird dialog options at the end….when talking to Rox.. makes me think that there is something afoot not sure if Caithe is doing it to betray us at all…. But she obviously doesn’t think we can handle the situation.

RubiBayer.8134:

I’ll chime in and say congrats. This is typical of the Guild Wars 2 community as a whole from what I see in my daily rounds: Players taking opportunities when they see them to make someone else’s day.

The gestures are all different sizes, and it’s not about being able to attach a monetary value to the item given or hold it up and say that it meets a certain list of standards. The common thread in all of these is a player seeing that they can offer something nice to another, and taking the opportunity to do so with no hesitation or expectation of reward. It’s a great thing that happens constantly in Tyria. Thanks for sharing yours!

I can attest to this on several occasions some to me and some of the things I’ve given because this community is awesome.

Very early on in the game I was making a set of Corrupted weapons for my Norn Ranger, and one kind soul one day just sent me a bunch of Corrupted Lodestones to help me finish them off.

I later went and did the same thing for someone else.

A few months ago when the Lovestruck weapons came out I was talking to someone in map chat and we got on a conversation about matching weapons to armors and I offhandedly mentioned going out in search of one of the new GS skins. A random stranger sent me the GS skin from the kindness of their heart.

I later bought someone a Tormented LB skin from an extra ticket I had.

The latest thing someone gave me was a Foefire’s Essence GS and the 119g to get my T3 Sylvari Gear. I still haven’t paid this one forward just yet I am waiting for the right random stranger to pop into my life.

Other than those things there has been many a time I’ve been borrowed money, or taken on a run or other such things that I have been equally grateful for. One of my most fond memories in the game was when the Account Bound Dye system came out, there were several of us in guild that got a bunch of unID’d dyes from it and we spent the afternoon in Vigil Keep Map Chatting Dyes to give to random people it was so fun. And another fond memory I have was running into a new player in LA one day they messaged me about how “cool” one of my toons looked and we sat talking. And while we were talking I was going through my bank, I found a buncha mini pets, and some left over things in my bank and I just mailed them to them. They were so adorable when they see it. He even named the mini polar bear after me. So cute. And a final fond memory I have was also a recent one, I have a second account and I went on it to do a social experiment, I went around asking questions in map chats and various bits of the games pretending like i was new to the game and everyone that went out of their way to help me I sent gold to, there was one individual who went above and beyond with trying to help me, so when I logged onto my main account I sent them 150g and told them thank you. It was awesome to see so many people come to my aid as a “newbie” to the game as well.

Long story short is the community in general is amazing here and it’s so nice to see that people are like me in the willingness to help others when they least expect it. I know I was floored every time I was ever given anything, and floored more when I have given something out and had people be so grateful. It makes me feel good to make others feel good. and I cant’ wait for the next person I am able to put a smile on their face with a small gesture of my fortunes.

Keep it up, GW2 Community!

EDIT: I wanted to add in another story. in July the guild I was an officer in Boss Blitz Bros [BBB] was contacted by Mike Z. from ArenaNet to thank us for pulling the community together in support of doing the Boss Blitz event, and he sent us a Bonfire from the gem shop so we could have an extra Karma Bonfire at our Blitz =) I remember talking to Mike Z for a good hour or so after that. It was the most cool thing from a dev I’ve ever seen in a game and it was a topic of conversation for days afterward in our TS. RIP [BBB]!

They made the content with full intents and purposes of reusing it. Even in GW1 teh festivals were largely the same year after year. Calm down its just a festival. Its not the end of the world as you know it.

Oh So yummy sounding =D You guys deserve it on those release days for all your hard work! =D

ADVENTURE IS OUTTHERE!!!!

Brownie Points to those that know where this is from.

Also this is the best ever. I love it and I really want to know who did the voice acting for the plane sounds. I literally ran around for 30 minutes giggling like a kid again.

I pretty much see the same amount of dogs, regardless of how many people are in the labyrinth.

I think you all should note that the link in the OP is all hearsay. We don’t know what exactly was said it was written in the players words not verbatim and interperatation of words is subjective often.

We all have seen it time and again Anet says something and someone or many someones twist what was said to make it mean something it didn’t.

Just a word of caution, take all of this that is not directly from their mouths with caution, and even take some of that with a grain of salt. We will know more soon and “worrying” about it is silly.
