I was playing last night. Go to log in today and I am getting this too. Tried a reboot and end task, not working. Just waiting I guess to see if there’s any update.

It would be great if ANET let us know if they did in fact drop the player capacity for the majority of maps and, if my theory is correct, raised the capacity for Lions Arch.
I haven’t gotten the Lions Arch Overflow since February 26th…

I noticed this yesterday as well. There were a few zones, not even just the dragon ones that went to overflow. Metrica Province and Wayferer being two other examples. I know they have the Maw and Fire Ele events, but still. I haven’t hit overflow on these maps since launch. I’m on FA BTW.
Now I also noticed that Lions Arch doesn’t seem to go to Overflow since the patch update. I assumed it was mainly because my server has jumped up to tier 2 in WvW and more people are playing that. That assumption hit a wall yesterday though when LA didn’t go to Overflow and when I queued for EB I got right in. So LA isn’t overpacked and WvW didn’t have a queue.
Did they increase the amount of people who can get into LA and thus reduced some of the other maps? That’s what I’m thinking.
Complaining about the overflows though is a little much IMO. I mean you can still do the event and most times it spawns within 20 minutes or so of the event on the real server. I did see in map chat though that some speculated if the dragon timers will be thrown off now if people don’t realize they are in an overflow. Food for thought.

That is why the first question is confusing since OP doesn’t want people to answer with the real reason why they picked the server they did.
Exactly.
I picked Fort Aspenwood on launch day with a group of friends. Even though they all either quit playing or maybe moved to another server, i stayed. Why? Well because I didn’t want to jump to another server because they had “elite” WvW. WvW as it’s made will have ebb and flows.
Real Life will either make people stop playing or they’ll lose interest and people who play it will transition in and out. Switching based solely on WvW would just not be a smart move at all as a PVE oriented person.

So you’re not asking players why they are on tehir server..you’re asking guilds?
guilds are made up of players so…
Yes… but why would a PVE player even care to transfer servers? The bonuses from WvW aren’t really earth shattering and plus all the servers get the bonus, just to a lesser degree than others.

Lol, it was actually unpleasantly cold this morning in south fla – yeah I know, unpleasantly cold is like 40-50 degrees here (its 44 now) – shush. :P
The 40’s are killer here. I had to actually break out my winter jacket (hoodie) after thinking we had seen the last of the cold. Looks like it will be in the 70’s tomorrow here in Tampa though
On Topic – Jumped on WvW a few times this weekend and it was great to see three servers fighting it out so hard. The last few weeks in Tier 3 has NOTHING on Tier 2. Lots of fun.

Regardless of tiers… why is it wrong to try and recruit so that the server has full coverage? I can see where some would be mad because if a guild left from their perspective server, it could harm that server. FA wants to find guilds that want to help the WvW battle in a very huge coverage gap. Regardless of the server that guild may come from, it’s what is needed.
This isn’t the only avenue to try and fill the gap. There are people out trying to recruit off the server itself to get individuals who may want to be active in WvW and start getting better at it. It’s just improvement. You can’t be good, unless you improve.

Both points are valid. Someone who has never even logged into WvW shouldn’t have a Commander tag that can (if they finally decide to log into WvW) cause a lot of problems.
Two separate tags for PVE and WvW would be a great addition.

Oh.. Ok. Well that makes sense. Man that was bothering me. Thanks!
Oh.. Ok. Well that makes sense. Man that was bothering me. Thanks!For the record, I’m kinda in agreement to adjusting the ranking/point system to somehow take into account the coverage issues. A server shouldn’t suffer just because they don’t have adequate coverage during just a 6 hour gap.

But anyhow, this weekend was the first time I really got into WvW, I was frustrating a lot of times, but I must say I had great fun holding the camp against FA! And then I followed [AoN] for a bit, it was the most glorious thing I’ve ever seen in WvW.
I share your sentiments. I started to really get into WvW a little over a week ago or so. Been loggin in every night now. It’s such a blast. It’s a pure eye opener when you run with a great guild too. [AoN] is very respectable. Every time I see a group of 5 or so of them running around, I know to avoid if I’m solo haha. I try to stick close to [RET] or [BT] on my server. They always know where the fun is

I’m able to complete nearly all of the dailies just by running one dungeon or doing a couple story quests. It’s not that difficult. It’s actually easier to finish then it was before.

Oh yes.. I was able to log in and finish them off yesterday and they did not reset. I didn’t think it was the case, but voiced my concern just in case.
I’m ready for the next phase now

I didn’t read your whole post.. just about half actually.. But I’m both a launch day player and casual player.. I don’t feel neglected in any way. For people who have played more and earned their legendaries or were the benefit of bugs that were fixed (ie. Black Lion Keys dropping like crazy the first week) That’s just the benefit of playing the game since then. They put in the long hours and work to get those things.
Dungeons aren’t hard or harder.. communication can get you through them no problem. Don’t hate the game.. hate the player.

There shouldn’t be a role so to speak.. It’s more about weapon combos than anything. Having a certain profession is great.. but what is best is when the team together is using the right combos to make things work.
I ran a PUG last night and at first it was pure hell. I then decided to switch my thief from Sword/Pistol to double Pistol. Luckily I run with a weapon of every kind my toon can use so I can switch on the fly. After switching and adjusting my skills the party ran much smoother. I was able to use more CC effects and our combos worked better too. Remove Condition, Poison, Burn are great combo effects to help weaken bosses. People forget that a lot it seems.

You don’t even have to “dodge” for the dodging events. You basically just have to evade a hit. I was running as my thief and was able to get this done with just normal gameplay and using my weapon skills. Only slight dodging. Perhaps it was easier as my Thief has a few weapons skills that help evade enemy strikes.

I was hearing yesterday in game that the achievement resets daily? Is that confirmed? I got 40 of 75 last night before I had to log off and I was hoping to get the remainder today. If it resets though.. i’ll be a sad panda.

Yeah.. the ONLY daily I had trouble with was the revive one.. and all I had to do was a story quest and revive some dumb NPC’s to achieve it..

I haven’t done a dungeon since the patch yesterday… but I wasn’t under the impression they were now easier? AC was pretty easy to begin with. I’ve always pugged it and was fine. I have 2 stacks of 250 and working on a third and I don’t even have a lvl 80 toon.
Either way your post was good and I agree that overall making dungeons slightly easier and better for casual gamers is good. They just don’t want them to become too easy or else they lose their fun. When the Fractals first came out, learning those dungeons was the best part about it. The difficulty just added to the fun..even if that meant trying 5 or 6 times just to get a full party past Fractals Lvl 1……. lol

I checked both maps as well and made sure to get all the waypoints.. didn’t see anything new last night. I was hoping something had come out today. Too early though as it’s 7AM on the west coast. Hopefully news will start dropping in a few hours of what we can expect.

I just wanted to say thank you. It looks like the patch last night fixed this skill point. I know Anet gets overwhelmed with all the negative things, so just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for the fix and thank you for all the hard work

So this skill point is bugged. Searching through the forums, I’ve come across a lot of reports on this, some nearly a month old. Is there any type of update on when this will be fixed? As a player who loves to get map completion for the rewards as well as quelling my OCD, some type of direction would be awesome. The problem seems to be on all servers as well..

Can i suggest a forum area for the Servers? It would be great to have a place to speak with people who are on the same Server that also browse the forums.
k, thnx.
