Guild Wars 2

I agree, this has been frustrating people (including me) so many times. Roleplayers who aren’t spamming at all have constantly run into it, and it really isn’t helping anyone; quite the contrary. Please, PLEASE change this system as it does more harm than good.

Awesome, you’re a king. Pun intended.

Aaaand it still doesn’t work. Sounds like this is going to remain broken forever. =/

While I like the female sylvari VA, the attunement switching lines are really annoying to hear, and as a D/D ele I hear them ALL the time. Soooo yeah. Definitely supported. It’s grating my nerves so much.

What’s strange is that you can talk to the collectors about the horrible weather and such, but… there’s no such thing.

Before the statue’s destruction during the Mad King event, the fish fountain around it used to make these ‘ploppy’ sounds as the water bounced around, and occasionally being spewed upwards all around. Now the statue and fountain is finally rebuilt but it’s completely silent. I assume this was an oversight and if it’s brought to the devs’ attention, they’ll add it back. :]

People here really mix up their own expectations with what -they think- has been promised /hinted at.

Except they -did- promise it. As someone pointed out earlier in this thread:

“Here at ArenaNet, we’ve always held that you should be able to play with your friends, whether they’re next door or a continent away. Today we’d like to outline a number of policies and technologies we’re implementing to support this belief.”

Cross-region guesting was more than just implied.

Yeah, definitely supported. There can’t possibly be no way to circumvent the technical restrictions we assume are the reason for the lack of cross-region guesting.

Sprawler.5612:

“When Guild Wars 2 launches, you will also have the option to play with your friends on another world with our free “guesting” feature. With guesting, your characters can play on any world where you have friends—with certain restrictions. For instance, you will not be able to participate in WvW while guesting.”

Truths – Can’t participate in WvW.

Falsehoods – At launch
Any world

The RPing community chose Piken Square and Tarnished Coast as unofficial RP servers because we knew, thanks to quotes like this, guesting would let us play together.
Now we’re sorely disappointed.

It’s indeed likely that, since we are one community, the anticipation of the guesting system is the reason we picked two servers instead of deciding on one. That kinda backfired now. There’s no way we’re going to quickly reorganize and all gather on one server. The RP community is bigger than the people on the community’s website ( www.guildwars2roleplayers.com by the way ), so this’d be a big ol’ mess. Especially if we’d go to TC since it’s so hard to get on there already.

As a few people before me have said, this is really, deeply disappointing to all of the RP community. We are in the thousands, and many of us were waiting all this time on guesting to switch between the EU and NA server, as we’re one community, but on two different servers, one on each region.
And now it turns out this long-awaited feature is useless for us.

It was no issue in GW1, so what gives?

Disappointed, disappointed, disappointed.

This feature just became entirely useless for me. Really disappointed.

If doing it internationally is apparently not feasible, why was it so supported in GW1? Or did we forget about that?

Yep, same here. And a friend of mine too, got kicked out at the same time.

I’ll add my vote as well. I usually stay out of forum debacles, but I wholeheartedly agree here – the negatives of this change far outweigh the positives. It’s terribly inconvenient. Please change it back.

While I agree that the dungeon is alright, and the final boss is great… My god that kudu fight. Just for that, I’m not keen on running story mode again. That fight is just incredibly long, and a big snorefest – in my opinion, and that of the rest of the group. Instead of feeling accomplished for making it through the fight, it was more like “bloody hell, FINALLY! Jeeeez…”

So much for doing the story mode dungeons in order with guildies (including me) who haven’t done these yet. We were on our way when we encountered this problem. Cheers, guys. =/

Tricky, but I think I’ll go with Lornar’s Pass. It just feels so REAL, so… I dunno, authentic? The atmosphere is great at night too, especially when there’s no music playing and you just hear the ambience.

What? Norn female is actually one of the player character voices I like. :P

Matter of taste, I guess.

I’ve been wondering about this too. Weren’t bar brawl, polymock and the shooting gallery (among others, maybe) going to be in at launch? I was looking forward to those.

Any word from Arenanet on when they’ll be unlocked, at least? :]

I just did this, and it worked fine for me, no problems whatsoever.
I did have a different problem with it: as a thief soloing it, it was a nightmare. I was in there for 3/4 of an hour, and it was annoying, tedious, and waaay drawn out. Too many mobs to fight, and the fight at the end was incredibly irritating and long.
