Where the heck did this topic go, I was just posting an answer to someone about the zones which are already megaservers…

Not using english on the english forum is a violation of forum rules. I was allowed to try again in english.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Megaservers-Babylonian-confusion-of-tongues/first

greetings.

LOL—they just have to change the TOS to the english only rule for ingame communication . Problem solved. (kidding).

I really hope the actual megaservers are bugged and that the actual behaviour is not the intention of A-net. But how could one tell? I see several threads closed, some “everything is fine” on Facebook but otherwise no reaction/statement from A-net yet.

Some statement like “megaservers should assign depending on language but there are bugs and we will fixe them” could help to wait patiently.

Greetings.

The facebook page appears to be nothing but a Fan page that ignores most of the concerns—or the negatives are just being removed.
That being said, back to topic.
I really hope that Anet gets the message and actually does fix the mega. They really can’t be enjoying the general feeling being displayed here. If they respond or even listen is another topic altogether.

Thats rather dismissive, just because it was flagged as -1 doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t read it or that is a non-informative.
As for the OP, you are doing the same thing, forcefully stating how forum discussions translate into hatred causing ‘collateral damage’while playing. Can I ask you for the ‘facts’ instead of anecdotal personal feelings?
Thanks.

The old system with the ability to change all traits around when not engaged in an event/battle is all I needed/wanted. This (like the megas) is just poorely concieved and implemented.

Vulto.9768:

The Megaserver System looks fine in paper, to help low populated areas and servers gain life. But…
In pratice it fails imo.

Guildwars 2 had a very Dynamic feel, with events leading up to each other, and this world boss sync just ruins that feel.

Aslo it destroys completelly our “sense of community”. It was nice to know 80% of the ppl in a map, see known faces and guilds. etc… now i feel a foreigner on every map i go wich is on megaserver.

i Did worldbosses form time to time cause it was easy to get to them, and fast fun/loot. Now is a headache.

Guildmissions are completelly RIDICULOUS to do. Half of guildies end up in diferent maps. takes 10 minutes just to change parties and taxi every1 to same server (IF the server don’t gets full bef we manage to do that). and after you are able to do that, you will just end up in a place with 10 other guilds lining up in queue trying to do missions as well. My guild waited for 35 minutes on guild jumping puzzle to be able to start it, is ridiculous and kills all the fun,

i undertsand you guys want to revamp low pop servers and for them this might “look” appealing, but isn’t there GUESTING in place for this exact reason – a low pop server can just guest another and have np.

In european servers is just ridiculous to get into a map and mapchat being in french, german, english, spanish, nordic languages, and every1 qqing they don’t understand each other, etc…

I am sorry Anet, but this world boss sync and megaservers only do ONE thing: BROKE WHAT AS WORKING JUST FINE..

Plzplzplz get rid of this idea…. give us our dynamic world back and no megaservers:D

On PvP it rly ain’t that bad as it eliminates the waiting for tPvP.

Gathering Orichalcum and ancient wood will be a disaster i guess and this will have a strong impact in the economy as this are items that have a very high demand always.

on a more happy note: Congrats to all the hard work and for an amazing feature pack. Apart form megaserver all the rest is awesome

/Cheers

Ya had me all the way to last statement. Many problems with ALL aspects of the feature pack.

timmyf.1490:

You guys have your complaint threads. Please stay off mine.

All threads are open to all registered members to post, regardless if you disagree or not.
Btw, didn’t realise it was a complaint thread.

I even got an extra bank slot to store my shards, last gem purchase or gold to gem I will ever make.

And THANK YOU BloodFallsSilent. Great post. I am incredibly disatisfied with this release as well. I have been waiting for new maps and adventures but instead got more grind, nerfs, costs and many others additions/changes that will have a negative impact on many.
So many fundemantal fixes were needed and not in this patch. I should really thank Anet for breaking my daily habit/routine of playing daily.

BilboBaggins.5620:

Prices on the most expensive dyes quadrupled. Funny how almost every change ArenaNet makes raises in-game costs. Getting to the point where you need thousands of gold to afford customization choices.

The game has become a major gold sink for just about everything you do now.
I was playing too much anyway, thanks for breaking my habit Anet.
Bad Patch.

Schedule is bad, will stop players from playing some events. The 13 portals on BE every few seconds is just lazy unoriginal game development, overall impression of patch—bad—R.I.P GW2.

Simple-more grind, nerfed players, buffed boss, Solo completly ruined, the game was not made better with this patch.
-R.I.P. GW2

Time to move to a new game Tibi. This is how updates have been done from Day 1.
They may even have found a last minute problem/bug that they have to address that you (or any of us) has a clue about. If anyone needs to learn some respect, I suggest that is you or learn to understand and accept how Anet has ALWAYS provided their updates instead of all the rage. The game will be here tomorrow and the day after, you’ll get to play te patch.

Really, I don’t know how they come up with there moves. Seems to be on a whim without ANY rules and criteria. If every thread with a link was put here, it would be the only section with posts. I guess they do it so it will die(with all due respect and imho).

Thanks for the link—but I would have liked more info (outside of Anet/devs), the info centered on the better aspects of the patch without touching on the negative (or perceived negative) aspects of the patch like WP restrictions/sink.

Join a guild with teamspeak/ventrilo. Find one that helps new players learn the game.
Time to leave the nest.

Rangers’ forum would be a good thread to visit also.

Some do bandit others don’t. Some do bandit after troll and then do oak. Some do it after spider and before boar to kill time while waitng for the lodgemaster.

spartan.9421:

the queensdale champ train has gotten a bit out of hand, huge groups of people just running around killing the same few champs. And if you mess it up they get mad and start yelling at you! events should be done when exploring and having fun not by doing a and spamming 1

Really???
This the 1st time I have heard/read about this in these forums. Never been a post about it.
(actually there are tons of them—search and google, can only hope the mods merge them like they did to the mounts)

ZZZZZZZ!

Chris.8206:

Pardon the bad rhyming ;-)

So I’m at level 80 with my first build, an elementalist. Up until now the game has been captivating – one that has truly exceeded my expectations. Up until now, that is…..

I’m battling my way through Orr and the contested waypoints are killing me. I end up attempting a lot of events on my own or with just one other player as the place seems to be deserted, and if and when I die, I have to go to a waypoint that is clear on the other end of the map because all the others are contested. I’m in a well populated server but I swear there are way more people at the lowest level maps than the highest ones, hence my problem at completing group events. I doubt I will complete this area as an elementalist unless I can hook up with a group of players attempting to do what I’m doing, but for whatever reason this has been the most uncooperative area I’ve experienced so far. I’ve been down and people will run right by me without blinking an eye. Or I’ll ask for help with an event and am ignored. Frustrating…..

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Any suggestions on what I can do?

Guest to Blackgate.

Just ridiculous that the keep doesn’t have free access to all services!!! I am never buying a pass. The Air Ship needs to crash and burn and give us back the one stop forge/crafting etc. And if they don’t want to do that-put a mystic forge in all home cities.
I can’t see very many buying those tickets unless they have more money/gold/gems than they know what to do with.

Melanie.1240:

Brother Grimm.5176:

The Lion’s Arch Hub has moved to Vigil Keep (NE Gandaran Fields). Note that there are no free access crafting facilities there….you have to use other cities to craft (or pay for a limited time ticket for the crafting facilities at Vigil Keep).

I have yet to enter that area and not see numerous players on my server (Yaks Bend).

So basically it was just a money grab to get people to pay to have access to crafting stations -_-

Not really, you can get to your bank, trading post and crafting stations just as easily in the racial cities.

Kinda true-sure you can go to your home home city-but LS had everything —and now you have to pay for Air ship or go somehwere else.
So ya, like permanent tools/nodes at home instance etc-—the ship us a convinence item cash grab for those that have more disposible income. The Air Ship needs to crash and all it’s staition put on the ground a Vigil for free access.

All I can to the op is lucky you (as long as you get the the rest of the sounds)-LOL

Astral Projections.7320:

Too late for this imo. The majority of people who were going to make ascended armor have already done so and already paid for or used up their stocks of silk and damask. If they decrease it now, all those people will be unhappy about it and consider it very unfair that latecomers get a great price break and reduced costs that they didn’t get.

Anet makes lots of people unhappy every update—they generally just say suck it up.

Guhracie.3419:

Psychol.5783:

I don’t get people who are buying this crap especially for all characters, you are harvesting to earn gold but these tools are too expensive to be profitable.

You don’t buy these tools to make a profit, you buy them for convenience. Or appearance.

Yep—that’s why—convenience is the main reason!!
Much better than wasting gems on town clothes and other useless bling.

Blude.6812:

3/4’s of web site use it—it has the potential of being a big problem, especially if they are not using perfect forward security. Does ANET use it??

That is a blatant exaggeration. Less than HALF the websites on the Internet even use ANY form of SSL (much less the OpenSSL code). Only Unix / Linux servers would use it (yes, those OSs are very prevalent as smaller web servers).

Testing I found this morning showed that less than 6 % of the top 10,000 websites on the internet are still exposed (tho you are right that those exposed sites should shut down until the issue is fixed).

The exploit can be blocked by turning off the heartbeat service (but that causes some potential long term issues with the site itself) and or blocking heartbeat requests via a firewall. The REAL fix is to update the OpenSSL code, recompile the site and then you have to revoke and install new security keys. None of that can fix any potential information already stolen and unfortunately, the attack leaves NO trace on the server, so nobody can be sure it hasn’t been used in the past (but keeping something like this under wraps for any length of time in the current internet security community would be nearly impossible).

3/4’s, 2/3rds many respected/established news sources are in conflict with your #s.
I think I’ll go with them.
e.g.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2599896/Security-alert-web-traffic-encryption-heartbleed-bug-discovered-leaving-two-thirds-web-traffic-exposed-hackers.html

PS. Thanks for the info link Brother Grimm.

Every single recipe should be able to be discovered and SOLD.

The only answer needs to come from Anet tech support, and it hasn’t yet.

and it probably wont. They rarely respond to these forums.

Nor should they where infrastructure security questions are concerned.

Forget, that—all they need to do is the responsible thing—“Anet is Secure” —wow that certainly compromises the entire security of their service(s).

The only answer needs to come from Anet tech support, and it hasn’t yet.

RNG code has a problem they just can’t find that that favors some and has a major negative impact on many others, not only with precursors, but with many other drops as well even with good MF, and buffed. ;-(
[/quote]
Proof please. Find proof of it other than “I NEVER GET GUD LUTZ” that supports the claim. All I’ve seen about this supposed RNG “favoritism” are unproven claims.
[/quote]

How about you prove that it is working , those that say it is are in the same boat—unproven claims and they can’t prove it as well. So give me your proof othet than
“I GOT ANOTHER PRE-MY 4TH ONE—GREAT RNG!”

Sites are being closed, the Canadian Tax site has shut down, it is considered a big problem right now.
Perhaps the OP can edit the title and ask the tech if openssl is used.

fadeaway.2807:

My thread about the possibility of account luck got removed and I was given an infraction for raising the discussion.

Take from that what you will, to me it says they don’t want people taking about account based rng luck.

RNG code has a problem they just can’t find that that favors some and has a major negative impact on many others, not only with precursors, but with many other drops as well even with good MF, and buffed. ;-(

Stooperdale.3560:

Most medium armor looks like a coat already. I don’t need a cape over my coat thank you.

+1—-really tired of the long coats on my medium armor characters. They should work on changing this instead.

Seriously—they can’t even fix the clipping for cloaks/coats let alone capes.

Why no auto targeting nuclear rocket launchers that turn into rainbow colored mounts to ride towards the target and then mushroom cloud them out and transport you to the to the end of the Not So Secret jumping puzzle that always drops a legendary??

i agree !!! we want it multicoloured that springs multiple rockets at the same time as lasers shooting out of your eyes LOL

LOL

They have a ‘Long March’ living story though—all die except for the the party elite and a Canadian Dr.

Why no auto targeting nuclear rocket launchers that turn into rainbow colored mounts to ride towards the target and then mushroom cloud them out and transport you to the to the end of the Not So Secret jumping puzzle that always drops a legendary??

Doesn’t matter where you read about the recipes-who cares—you use discover to learn the recipes your toons use. It get more points to level your crafting lvl faster.
So NO!!! Your way—more grind/time gating.

The bug in final rest that caused it not to drop for 9 months :P If there is any weighting in favor, it’s going to be a bug (or at least called one).

you think that RNG is bugged?

Ha, no. I was just saying that if there was a weighted system behind why certain people have crummy drops while others have already received 6 or more precursors, it would come down to been called a bug. One that has been overlooked for 2 years. I’m not being serious about it.

Disagree—there is a bug in the code—they just can’t find it.
Kinda like the sudden acceleration problem that Toyota kept denying. How did that work out for them? 1.2 billion!

Nope—separate server and actually a much different TP (real pay to win). It’s almost a different game in many aspects.

Waiting for the patch on the 15th—-the game is going to change alot. You should check out the games main page and read the announcement.

Arc.5862:

Two years for one drop. I’m thinking back to all the “no grinding” promises and it’s just lol.

And I am still waiting—lol. I’ll need a new coat of arms— the colours will be white, blue, green and yellow. And change the name to BRNG (B for broken).

Kaiyanwan.8521:

It was an update (sort of a feature patch) for Star Wars Galaxies called “New Game Enhancement”.

The NGE is mostly seen as the reason why SWG failed. So putting it in the title makes the whole discussion sort of biased.

Not biased, I have a feeling it more prophectic.

Even though I am against mounts as the game now stands, I can see the possibility that I may change my mind when the WP systems gets the overhaul. Mounts won’t change the extra loads sceens as we use the new restricted WP/sink that is coming and, if true, I would want a major increase in speed too.

Lilith Ajit.6173:

They really should have warned people though.

^ this—- warned or informed fine with me.

Lishtenbird.2814:

Stupidest? I think choosing heavy ascended coat from the ascended box instead of light. I was tired and not concentrated enough, but since it was cleric’s, no big deal actually.

Henrik.7560:

I bought a second of the same ascended and soulbinded it not knowing one can be equipt at a time… (facepalm)

Or wait for the patch, you’ll simply reequip it on another character once ascended is made account bound.

Forgot about that—Great suggestion!!! I’ll wait until after the 15th and put it on another toon. Thanks! +1

LOL—2 mistakes I made are already here—Celestial inscrips and doubling down on the same ascended ring. I’ll have to try a support ticket for the ring. I am stuck with the inscripstions though, found out ya can’t sell, only use or destroy.

The new WP system—game breaker—mutliple wps and travel and cost. I’ll try it when it goes live, but if it works like some have described—-it’s a major fail for me.
and of course—nothing for the Ranger again.

Not again. This has been discussed in many threads and it seems the suggestion has been rejected by most time and time again.

Xillllix.3485:

If you don’t do WvW then I don’t think you deserve a legendary…
Legendary weapons are legendary for a reason, people who make them do everything.

Off topic—but
Sorry that is just silly— they can be bought and sold on the tp, mats bought and sold, large guilds helping out member etc, and the mystic gamble. the broken RNG drop lcoding and on and on.
By your arguement they should only be available to people that have done 100% of everything. Fine with me as long as they remove ALL other ways of getting them.

Back to topic—the wVw for map completion needs to go.
They should have PvE map completion with rewards and a separate one with rewards for WvW.
You complete both—you get an additional reward—guaranteed precurser that would for the legendary of your choice.
This way people that play PvE or WvW almost exclusively would get some sort of completion recognition/reward.

And one more idea, move the WPs and POIs outside the walls so they could be accessed for completion without have to wait for a groups to take it.
BTW, I have 100% with 2 toons, so I have done, didn’t like it, but it’s done.

No living story and some more may be added (anyone know?) on the 15th.
Get them done now would be my suggestion and enjoy the quick completion.

Naz.2607:

So, with the new ‘megaserver’, say goodbye to this altogether?
I have used this as a legitimate way to make money in-game for over a year now.
gg
I’m guessing anet wants more ppl flipping the TP for gold?

Could be the deal breaker for me.
