Guild Wars 2

Tad.4109:

agreed that this update is totally fun. most importantly, it requires strategy, co-operation and not just button spamming. excellent job all around, ANet! additionally, we’re back to dragons and the core story, – hooray!

Scarlet and the steam punk nonsense can take a hike now, please.

I disagree this is the least fun worst update in a long time. Bring back the old Tequatl and continue the Scarlett story.

“A major issue”? Hysterical much?

A few people got a few tokens in-game that they shouldn’t have gotten, and you didn’t get. How is that “a major issue”?

Quite simply wasting two of my days… when I could have been doing something more enjoyable than invasions. If two of your holiday days are unimportant… then why don’t you come and do my job for a couple of days so I can have recover those two lost days.

Berelious.3290:

Jellie and Duke Darkwood, thank you. Both of your words point out a lot about the unfortunately very vocal minority. You’ll likely get blasted for your logic and kindness, but there are more than a few in the silent majority who are behind you.

I would contend that the silent majority agree with us not you, and just aren’t bothering to speak up.

The commentary about how people shouldn’t be playing games, or shouldn’t be upset or how easy it is for some people to do the monthly is not helping things.

It is a major issue and we have a right to be upset. If you aren’t upset, then that is great for you, but you don’t need to post about how not upset you are.

Jellie.6329:

I haven’t posted much on this forum, but this kind of thing makes me want to stop playing this game. Not the issue with the patch; honestly, I could care less about accidentally resetting an achievement with some arbitrary reward. What makes me want to stop playing is the whiney, entitled responses from selfish players who clearly can’t appreciate the intense amount of time and effort required to create such a huge, polished game. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

I respect the game, overall it is very well done but that doesn’t change the fact that I am upset that I wasted 2 days working on the monthly to have it erased. I have the right to complain and hope they make things right.

You don’t have to read the forums and you don’t have to play the game… both of those things are up to you.

Remillard.8691:

If the threshold for September was reduced to 2, people will not have lost time involved, people who got theirs done are not impacted. It can be flicked to 4 again for October.

Seems to me that would be a pretty easy thing to do, and addresses most of the mature complaints that I’ve read. (That is to say, I’m discounting a lot of the "WAH – Someone else got EXTRA this month. Really the only thing I consider a real problem is the time spent towards completion of the monthly meta.)

That is a brilliant suggestion, I hope arenanet is listening.

Guess that means it is a time to take a break from GW2… Had a good run but this is a bit too upsetting.

I spent a couple days doing invasions specifically to get the monthly completed, had 3/4 this morning and just needed to do a daily to complete it… now I am back at 1/4. This is utterly ridiculous, I want my 2 days back!

I agree with the poster… people complaining that we want easy content, that just isn’t the case. I personally object to PvP … I refuse to attack other players… which makes doing the puzzle nearly impossible, I was able to get it done because someone took me through it defending me along the way. But for people like me this type of achievement is ridiculous.

I don’t mind there being jumping puzzles in PvP… PvPers should have them, but combining PvP and PvE achievements is horrible. A better solution would be like they do with Daily events, have choices of what you do to get the meta-achievement. So if you don’t do PvP you have to do some other (potentially very hard) PvE puzzle instead.
