This is what I did ingame when using MapChat:

/map Dynamic Event Here @ [Waypoint Name]! GOO South! =)

This worked well until suddenly I got a message that stopped me from using MapChat.
The message goes like this:
“Your message has been surppressed due to excessive messaging”

Okie… fine…

I come back 20min later and I still cant use MapChat…
“Your message has been surpressed due to excessive messaging”

I wait 1 day… and I try this 3x and it gave me the same problem until… it suddenly works again! yaay!

I guess Im not sure if this is a bug or if I’m being punished for using MapChat and letting people know where Dynamic Events are occuring when those areas lack people.

I find MapChat to help gather players this way much faster and easier. Soo I was wondering if this was a 1 time bug or if this was working as intended…

If this is how its suppose to work… Plz tell me how come there is a limitation to this?
Why cant we just report spammers instead?
And most importantly, How offten can I use MapChat before this “Suppressed” occurs?

Anyways, I feel like a hit a bug but in the same time, unsure if its a bug. But I do know it’s definantly bugging the hell out of me. xD

"Rescuing a village that will stay rescued"

in Dynamic Events

Hey everyone! I just wanted to make a quick response because I feel you guys don’t seem to understand what GW2 Manifesto Video was all about.

In that video, Colin Johanson, the lead game designer was talking about “Dynamic Events” and the “Combat” while Ree Soesbee was talking about “Personal Storyline”.

These are Ree Soesbee’s words the OP quoted in regarding to Personal Stories:

“As a structure, the MMO has lost the ability to make the player feel like a hero. Everybody around you is doing the same thing you are doing. The boss you just killed respawns ten minutes later. It doesn’t care that I’m there.
You’re meeting new people whom you will then see again. You’re rescuing a village that will stay rescued, who then remember you. We do not want to build the same MMO everyone else is building, and in Guild Wars 2, it’s your world. It’s your story. You affect things around you in a very permanent way.”

Now this is what Colin Johanson has to say regarding Dynamic Events:
“Cause and effect: A single decision made by a player cascades out in a chain of events.”

Now, If you watch the ArenaNet videos on youtube, You’ll notice Colin Johanson will always talk mostly on the subject regarding Dynamic Events while Ree Soesbee will always try to bring up Personal Stories.

The GW2 Manifesto Video including other videos that the developers talk in, will most likely talk about their subject but will also talk about the game as a whole.

See it for yourself:

I personally feel like the Personal Stories do make you feel like a hero with choices you make. They are permanant as well. And Dynamic Events do Chain onto each other. I say they delivered. Though, there is always room for improvement

=) I hope this info helps.
