Guild Wars 2

volcano.3176:

0. I left my spot 1-2 tries before Deso killed it both times. Still, it is not hard (except cases with bugged scaling, fake 2:00 dps phase and LEECHER guests).

For the rest still crying about:

1) “I am playing this game because I wanna escape from reality”

A.1) Escape it in another map. You don’t need to come Bloodtide when Wurm is about to spawn. If you still wanna kill Wurm, do what you are asked to. I said it in another thread “I PLAY HOW I WANT” is the most disgusting argument you can ever use for a hard, organized, group content.

2) “My server don’t have enough x”.

A.2) Yeah, if your whole server guest to Desolation or some other servers you can’t find anyone in your server. Again as I said before, low/medium/high/very high populated servers’ players tend to LEECH Desolation. Did you read previous sentence carefully? I said “high/very high” populated servers’ players are also coming to Desolation. I saw several SFR players, Baruch Bay guilds too. Of course some of them MAY come to Desolation to observe what we are doing, but still there are camping guests from these servers.

The problem is not “what your server does not have”, the problem is you are too lazy to organize something for yourselves. Why no low/medium populated server step up and say “Come our server, guest/transfer to us and kick wurm’s head together”? I think at least 2-3 such servers can fill a map and organize their Wurm event. But of course guesting to Desolation is easier. That’s why I am calling guests as leecher. And some crybabies even report me for this. Go ahead, as if it changes the fact that guests are leeching.

3) “My whole server guesting Desolation and I can’t find any player to organize”

In my first post, I forgot to add this, I admit. I am not calling ALL guests as leechers . If your server’s >%50 guests to Desolation, of course you can’t find people and you do what that majority of players do.

Yet, most of you have not opened a thread about this broken guesting system, which make you leave your server every time, or written your ideas into hundreds of threads that were opened. Moreover, some of you even defended current system by saying “Get your head 2 hours before like we do”. That is the type of players I am saying they are leeching.

4) “Desolation has enough players to create overflow, how do you know guests are the problem”

That’s the problem. If Desolation fills a map itself, why are you still coming to Desolation? You guest to Desolation because do we need help or do YOU need help?

5) “Wait Monday you piece of cat”

I don’t care how many times you report me. Seriously, if they ban me I can save time instead of writing wall of texts. Basically these walls are for nothing because you are not even reading, or even if you read, you don’t want to understand.

Swapping chars should results with the other team’s direct win without gane. You are predicting your so called “gonna win” probability with your initial knowledge of team and it becomes flawed after a team changes one or more class.

It will also make some of our so-called pro dudes to stop sending “we won with x many thieves. Stop crying” posts.

Worst idea ever.

Get on with it. You kill someone and that someone can get his/her revenge. Also none can put a karka on your head just he/she died. Mists need 10 blue orbs before it. Every time you scavenge goods, mists get blue orbs. If you dont wanna be karka’d, do not scavenge.

Some people should really ask for clarification before writing mini wall of nothings.

It can be soloed in 15 minutes at most.

People without some technical background can dream about “some tweaks” and “modifications” which will make everything as should be. But it is almost impossible.

First, you need to understand how megaservers are being created now. There is some kind of machine learning algorithm (google it or wikipedia it) behind scene which tries to find your “whom player x likely to play”. Believe me or not but this kind of problem can be a weekly homework in any university’s machine learning class. Because the problem is not the algorithm (it is the easiest part) but the data about players (which is also easy for ANet since they are monitoring us for collecting data).

The hard and almost impossible part is putting you with your party/guild/server/friends to same map. Just think about it only yourself. You are the first person that enter, for instance, Sparkfly. Then your friend enters as the second person. Then his/her friend enters as the third person. And so on.

I know this is the exact system. Actually, until a map reaches its soft cap, everyone can teleport into that map. There is no priority for your party/guild/server/friends which is exactly opposite what ANet said. However, even if they could give priority your social circle, there are HUGE amount of other players with HUGE amount of social circles. If you think about it just for a second, you can understand that it is really a bad problem. Unfortunately, there is no such algorithm/idea/system that can fix this problem if ANet insists on using megaserver system.

In old system, you could meet with your social circle without a problem in your server’s map or you could create your own overflow or you could guest to a lower populated server. However, you HAD CHOICE to do it. Megaserver system took those choices from us and gave us nothing and will continue to give us nothing.

I have to admit that if Guild Wars 2 used megaservers at launch (almost 2 years ago), we could adapt ourselves. However, after 2 years, we made friendships. We construct communities from scratch. We formed guilds and alliances to kill big, bad bosses. Whenever we killed a hard boss, our screams of joy trembled Teamspeak servers.

And now, we have nothing. I open GW2 nowadays, and I am just a random player among huge amount of unknown players. There is no familiar faces for me. I go to Tequatl or Wurm and all I see is random faces again. Even if I try to join my communities’ map, it is also full with more than > 50 random players.

New players may like crowded maps. Altoholics may like crowded maps. But megaservers offer nothing to rest of player base.

Fantastic. Achievement hunters often drag others down.

I blame Arena for making achievements so hard to get.

I can’t decide whether he is trolling or not.

Please stahp being a white knight for once and admit ANet’s mistake. All they do is closing their eyes and ears to problems, and releasing facebook posts about “Megaservers are the best” while we have 43 pages of complaints.

And don’t tell me “they have said they have a team working on megaservers”. Obviously it is not enough. 2 months, 0 improvement and 0 exact solutions to any given problems.

Different time zones.

sniperman.1738:

Well imo as a veteran player I personally don’t care that new players are getting the core game for free. Because my mentality is good for them, thats more people to play with and maybe more new people for my servers WvW. To many Veterans are outcrying that its not fair like a child, however what they don’t realize is that this deal could gain them new players in there guild, new players for there wvw environment and so on and so forth. Plus lets be realistic most expansions are 50 bucks or more. Now on that note I don’t know i’m a veteran myself and just disappointed at the other veterans who would be so hard headed and selfish as to hinder the chance for our community to grow.

So you are telling us that “Pay 50 bucks for inviting new players to your guild.” You do not even care the FALSE ADVERTISEMENT and SCAM action that ANET is committing right now. You care the new players only.

I don’t care which server was the first reach a certain point. I am saying that Desolation has the biggest PvE population now.

Yeah locking up everything behind level-gate requires less grind than the old-fashioned way.

All hail NPE and its super progression ideas!

TL;DR summary for newcomers: OP does not like players that don’t play like him. So, ANet should force those players to play like OP.

Geez, just play your own game. Is it so hard?

Stop crying about relying on others. It is not the end of world. You will eventualy get a good lane and get your achievements.

Whinings of casual, ap farmers makes me puke.

You should play a solo game. Your clearly not a social game player.

No, people that are whining about “relying on others” in an online game’s forums should play a solo game.

Without a schedule players could select which boss they want to do. So you could divide the zerg between bosses. Also, you could do pretty much all world bosses in 2 hours without a problem.

With megaservers, they brought schedules and dynamic events have become dynamic jobs. Because you can kill same bosses in same order in everyday if your online time is same, due to work/school/real life. Moreover, since there can be only one boss available in a given time frame, all players teleport to same map at that time frame which creates overpopulation, performance issues and lags.

Old system was not perfect but a decent system.

Megaservers are the worst idea ever which could fix only “low populated low level map” problem. It has not fixed anything else and it broke lots of stuff that were working with old system.

Try using VPN solution as I described in this link: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Network-Lag-Merged/page/47#post3678448

It is just a daily solution (as long as you don’t wanna pay for a VPN service or create tons of new email addresses to get free trials everyday), but at least you can try whether it solves your problem or not.

Whining/Crying about “hard content” makes no sense at all too.

To make things clear, you do no have to do hard content. Story-wise, you will miss nothing. Achievement wise, if you are not a achievement-x (let say x = lover), nobody cares your situation.

Because adding a “custom option” which had existed shouldn’t take more than 1 hour to hotfix (instead of 2 days for now).

kobi.5236:

You QQ so much .I can see bad things like its harder to organisate w vs w and teq and the wurm but srs ? A gf just started to play this game and we are actually seeing people arround so we got a great time cause the world isnt empty anymore ..ofc it need some improvements but for god sake stop qq about good idea which is still worked on ..they got 10 members workung on megaservers so give constructive feedback , the idea is nice But , you should do deead or dat because off <<<<x

XAXAXXXAX

That’s the problem. You are new and only new players like it because they dont belong any server or cross-server wide community.

MrDmajor.7084:

So instead of being in overflow away from your guild with other players, you’d rather be in overflow away from your guild by yourself?

#BlameMegaserver

So instead of being in overflow away from your guild for maximum 30 minutes in a day, you’d rather be in overflow away from your guild forever.

#BlameMegaserverWhiteKnights

Because they should not have implemented megaservers like they did at first place.

They should have listened our feedbacks just after their first megaserver roll-outs. They should have moved step by step. Instead what they did is: “We implemented megaservers. We do not care your feedbacks. So all maps are megaservers now[in one week]. Deal with it. If we want, we may improve some stuff soon[never].”
They should have not even implemented megaservers anyways. They destroyed every server and every server (and even cross-server) communities just because they want new players to see crowded maps. Why? Because more is good. Bite me.

Geez. Is it too hard to understand that WE WANT TO PLAY WITH PLAYERS THAT WE CAN COMMUNICATE!

I don’t know French, German or Spanish. I don’t wanna enter any map instance with >%50 population of these users. It is not racism. It is not hating language. It is just I WANT TO PLAY WITH PEOPLE THAT I CAN COMMUNICATE!

Cheezus! I really wanna ask devs whether they wanna employees in their company who can’t speak/understand English. Hire some employees that you cannot communicate in your company and then come and tell us “we want everyone in the Tower of Babylon. Just see the crowd. You don’t need to understand anyone.”

At least admit your fault instead of telling us stories about “crowded maps filled by players”.

Oh geez megaserver lovers’ only argument is “megaservers are good because of crowded maps”, and you ask lowering player cap. What a coincident! You could get your crowded maps or not so much crowded maps without any problem. But someone out there wanted to fix something had not broken at first place.

To please new players, alienate old ones. It seems a good idea to me.

No easy mode please.

Your critizism/whining is “Why are you killing players in a pvp zone QQ”

Just know what you are defending before calling others noob or QQer.

All with ascended gear would increase success rate by %1-2 at maximum.

If you are casual you do not need to care “being behind”. Being casual does not mean “play less, lose nothing”.

cheshirefox.7026:

that’s not fair, i feel bad for the programmer.. it’s not uncomman to modify and they did a good job too.. how were they supposed to know people were going to go ‘argumentative’ about a modification to a set that was available for a Year…

i’ve lost hundreds of gold when availability/value of things in this game have changed Overnight.. i try to be considerate in a manner that i wouldn’t hold it against anyone if liadri came back nerfed, or {i’m norn} if more people wore Eir Stegalkin armor..

at the very least the new flamekissed mask does what it is designed to do..
i really feel sorry for the programmers sometimes, and Some of the player base

First thing first, I don’t think, and hope, ANet is not using programmers to design an armor skin.

Second, they could let first buyers, before the big whinestorm, hold their old skins. They didn’t do that. They promised a new skin and a refund. I, personally, hoped a better skin than old Flamekissed skin after so many discussions in here. Instead, they came up with the ugliest thing I can ever imagine. They HAD TO design a better skin (as better as old one); however, they gave us another reskin. I will repeat myself “Whoever did this reskin needs to be fired.”

As one individual, I won’t give one, single cent to this game in future. Because, a third person can whine harder and your money will be wasted.

Desolation has the biggest pve population in EU more or less.

Worst analysis of megaservers ever…

Before megaservers, all slackers chose the easy way => guesting into a populated server instead of doing it on their own.
After megaservers, all maps become an overflow => slackers again choose the easy way, which is LFG tool.

I really wanna see you find a populated an organized map without using LFG tool at least 30 minutes before a Tequatl or Triple kitten event.

Try asking Aetherblades to leave Lion Arch’s kindly. LA is not a warzone anyways.

Wasted 10$+10g for 10 keys.
Got elemental sword in 2nd key.
Your RNG arguments are invalid.

Xia.3485:

Nothing anet did deserves this thread. .

- Megaservers: There was a 43 pages of thread about it with 0 positive feedback from ANet.
- Killing server identity with hammer
- World boss zergination or synchronization.
- Not fixing/punishing exploits/hacks in WvW (However, if you threat their economy, they will sent you hell in 5 seconds).
- Not fixing obvious reward problem from Season 1 until Season 2 + 9 weeks and counting.

For me, the only good thing they did in near past is nerfing Dredge fractal to oblivion.

So many “more is good” players again. Let’s make it clear:

More is not good if you are a part of a community and just because someone asked “more players” please, your community torn apart.

More is not good if you want to see familiar faces not random dudes that think “more is good yuppie”.

More is not good if you want something challenging in open world instead of brainless “push 1” activity.

More is not good if you want something easy. Because zerg already finished that easy task before youç

More is not good if you want to do something challenging like Wurm with your own community.

More is not good if more random people refuse to enter Teamspeak and ruin your one possible attempt of a megaserver.

More is not good if more people are filling your map chat with senseless and bad quality of trolling.

More is not good if your monthly goldseller whisper count is increased from 2 to 30.

More is not good if you lag more than old system because of both too many players and unstable megaSTUPIDservers.

More is ONLY good if you think MMOs are only MMOs because you can see more people.

oOParkerOo.5176:

To all the people who “know” how to fix it – you don’t have a clue!
Just sit tight and wait for professionals to take care of it, ok? STOP YOUR WHINING

We are not supposed to know how to fix it. ANet does not pay us to fix game’s problems.

Where is your numerical evidence about minority and majority nonsense?

Yeah let teh game remove dead players’ account from this universe also.

Winning the game gives you nothing also. If you die because of a karka, say “kitten you ghost” and continue to play.

Please just stop crying, and survive. If you cannot do it, play something else. But leave my karka alone.

So, a couple of players kills a boss before you killed another boss. You missed one single champion bag and opened a topic for this. What happened to everyone should play as they liked thing? If their playing style is self-centered or selfish, who cares?
I hope more people kill ogre before elemental. I really wanna enjoy that tears of unnecessary whining.
(I have same feelings for any kind of champion trains too)

Kick AFK players from map, game and -if possible- world. Let them be afk only for 15 minutes.

As I said again and again more players does not make MMOs what they are. Communities do MMOs what they are.

You are happy because you are seeing random bunch of people in your map. I wanna ask you that do you even have friends among them? Have you ever tried to make friends among them? I just tell you this, even if you do, megaservers will crush your fresh friendship. Because when you both use WP to go same map; with %95 probability you will be separated into different maps. Yeah you can try “join” option. But since ANet screw boss schedules, ALL PVE PLAYERS have to dive into that same map. If you or your friend is not faster enough, you can’t join each other because both of yours map will be full.

Another said s/he did more temples and champs. And I said I did more Tequatl and Wurm before Megaservers. Now I can’t. Because the community I could do such events can’t gather players in the same map as we were used to be. Random clueless players without listening/reading abilities are not good for such events (and even if they have listening/reading abilities in their native tongue, megaservers dont care whether you are a french/german/spanish in EU).

I will rewrite my statement again:

- More is not good if that more is created by random players not by your server or cross-server community.
- More is good only if you are not part of a community and do not think to be a part of a community (since less social abilities you need to use such as talking/listening and so on).

What do you even expect? Should Anet implement content for you to solo?

As if they are listening any feedbacks. Their only response for the 41 pages of feedbacks is “We have a team for megaservers.”

“They’re still building the architecture.”

If you stop defending Anet like you are defending your parents from evil thieves, you will understand how funny this sentence is.

If this system is not %100 ready, why did they force this MEGACRAP on us? Couldn’t they just turn several maps (one map from each level+one city map) and test their system? Or maybe for one week, they could change every map to a megaserver, collect data and then return to the old system until they could do everything perfect?

Nice, we have another megaserver-like topic which won’t be read/understood by any ANet employee.

Once again “I don’t like how people earn loot/money, because I can’t be like them” topic.

Why don’t you just try to play as you like and leave others alone? Is it too hard?
