As I said again and again more players does not make MMOs what they are. Communities do MMOs what they are.
You are happy because you are seeing random bunch of people in your map. I wanna ask you that do you even have friends among them? Have you ever tried to make friends among them? I just tell you this, even if you do, megaservers will crush your fresh friendship. Because when you both use WP to go same map; with %95 probability you will be separated into different maps. Yeah you can try “join” option. But since ANet screw boss schedules, ALL PVE PLAYERS have to dive into that same map. If you or your friend is not faster enough, you can’t join each other because both of yours map will be full.
Another said s/he did more temples and champs. And I said I did more Tequatl and Wurm before Megaservers. Now I can’t. Because the community I could do such events can’t gather players in the same map as we were used to be. Random clueless players without listening/reading abilities are not good for such events (and even if they have listening/reading abilities in their native tongue, megaservers dont care whether you are a french/german/spanish in EU).
I will rewrite my statement again:
- More is not good if that more is created by random players not by your server or cross-server community.
- More is good only if you are not part of a community and do not think to be a part of a community (since less social abilities you need to use such as talking/listening and so on).

Why do you want Anet to tweak (in other words reduce) the numbers, while megaserver white knights’ only argument is “crowded maps yuppie” ? It would be the funniest move if ANet decides to reduce player numbers in a map now =)
This is really out of line. Liking/enjoying the Mega server has nothing to do with “white knighting”. All you are saying is if you don’t hate the mega server, you must be a “white knight”, which is not only illogical but offensive towards people you know nothing about.
There are more worlds other than your own. No hate/offense intended.
The only world other than me is defending megaservers just because “crowded maps”. If you have something rather than being offended by being a white knight then go on. Tell me why should I hate less? Convince me to hate less? Let me understand why should not I call you white knight?
So many “more is good” players again. Let’s make it clear:
More is not good if you are a part of a community and just because someone asked “more players” please, your community torn apart.
More is not good if you want to see familiar faces not random dudes that think “more is good yuppie”.
More is not good if you want something challenging in open world instead of brainless “push 1” activity.
More is not good if you want something easy. Because zerg already finished that easy task before youç
More is not good if you want to do something challenging like Wurm with your own community.
More is not good if more random people refuse to enter Teamspeak and ruin your one possible attempt of a megaserver.
More is not good if more people are filling your map chat with senseless and bad quality of trolling.
More is not good if your monthly goldseller whisper count is increased from 2 to 30.
More is not good if you lag more than old system because of both too many players and unstable megaSTUPIDservers.
More is ONLY good if you think MMOs are only MMOs because you can see more people.
Yeah because we all wanna play zerg wars 2 like you.
It is really sad that ANet really give what “more is good” people asked. It is really sad.
So you prefer running around ghost towns? Struggling with any boss because no-one will help you. I look back and appreciate this change, it needs some tweaking, it’s bound to, but overall it is a far better experience.
Nope. I was in Desolation in EU. Except low level maps, which I don’t care, I could find enough people without a problem. And apart from guests, I could find my server’s players without a problem. They took this basic stuff from me. Instead, ANet gave me an abomination which forces me to play with random dudes that I don’t know and even I can’t communicate with.
But who cares “more is good”, right?

Dat “I spam my every condition skill non-stop until they waste all of their condition removal skills; but I can’t kill elementalists because their only one/almost useless trait is too OP for me” topic again.
It is not about posting. It is about accessing.
Nobody cares your skill as an individual. You suppose to play as a server and win or lose as a server. If you care so much about pixel weapons; you should have transferred to a better server before the start of tournament.
Your critizism/whining is “Why are you killing players in a pvp zone QQ”
Just know what you are defending before calling others noob or QQer.
If you don’t have enough mastery, don’t use respective siege weapon. Simple as breathing.
I was hoping for the removal of guests in Desolation.
/makes amount of gold decrease significantly
Ok ok. So PvP gets one of the best reward ever in the game. There’s no other reward in either PvE or WvW that has ever come close to this. It’s nice but pretty ridiculous when you think about it. I can probably understand a choice of a precursor for first place but just getting the legendary itself is overwhelming disappointing for people who don’t PvP.
PVP has no good rewards at all for 1.5 years.
Casuals and pvekitten.lovers should stop whining for every single thing that they can’t get.
But also I agree with this comment:
No offense to whoever came up with this idea but in my honest opinion its very bad and not very thoroughly thought through. The winners should not be awarded with general stuff like legendary weapons or precursors but uniquely designed weapons which will be obtainable only through this tournament.
Rangers are hated in PvE and WvW (they are fine in sPvP since elementalists are far far far worse than any kind of rangers in that game type):
- Because the worst class among all classes due to its mechanics.
- Because there are other classes that can much more helpful to any group/zerg than rangers in terms of damage and healing and buffing.
- Because the amount of noobs that play rangers is over 9000
- Because when you type “Rangers suck” in mapchat, reading that funny arguments of rangers is fun =)
Also, my hate list is 1) Guests 2) Ranger Guests 3) Rangers.

Sooooooooo what use do we have for found belongings?
Right Click → Destroy
Has anyone said “remove dredge fractal” yet?
Try asking Aetherblades to leave Lion Arch’s kindly. LA is not a warzone anyways.
Just use whatever you want. At least try it whether your problem will be solved or not.
First one is completely free VPN. The issue of free VPNs is you can’t trust them much about your privacy. However, as long as you are not doing something illegal in your country, you can use it without worries. Second problem is there are only 3 VPN servers of justfreevpn which are at UK, US and Canada. If a server’s capacity is full, you can’t use it. You can connect these servers via password that is given in their websites (it changes in every 6 or 12 hours).
Free trial one lasts 24 hours (if you have infinitely many emails, you can get free trials everyday). There are more choices for server and less worries about server capacity.
I don’t have any specific “that’s why it will solve your problem” sentence. It solved my and some players same problem. All i can say is kitten happens.
You can use VPN. Just buy a good one (https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/buy-vpn/) or use a free one ( http:// www. justfreevpn. com/), until they fix your issue.
Also, http://www.hideipvpn.com has 24 hours trial. You can create infinitely many fake mails to get infinitely many trial accounts everyday or you can again buy it =)

You are playing an online game. Stop whining and adapt yourself.
There is no AAA title, offline or online that releases dlc’s or other stuff that are LIMITED to TWO weeks. Little but but annoying bugs maybe understandable but “not giving loot because of some kind of idiotic bug” is not a little bug. Everyone has only two weeks to upgrade their backpieces and most of us don’t wanna buy all pieces from TP.
And as a note, I could loot knights only 2 times till now. For the rest, no loot at all and I was in a full party with 0 afk/leecher.
Do you expect everything to go well the first day,the previous had some patches too…be patient.
Can’t sure whether you are trolling or not
Elementalists are bad enough and terribad players still wants elementalists to be nerfed.
The problem is why all ISPs from all over the world started to throttle our gaming traffic only while playing GW2?
Daily VPN fix for it:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Network-Lag-Merged/page/47#post3678448
(edited by Phoenixlin.8624)
The problem caused by Anet for sure. From different countries and ISP users, there are a lot of people are experiencing the exactly same problem with same symptoms. The only solution to prevent lags/delays/dc’s is to buy a VPN service and connect to game by using it. However, just because Anet’s fault, we should not pay extra money to play this game like we were playing 3 weeks ago.
TL;DR Note: Use a VPN service to test whether game or your ISP is the problem (VPN details below).
Yes. Your method seems to work so far. Problem being it’s temporary and also it’s annoying that I have to do stuff like this.
Since I am not tech-savvy, does this mean it’s my ISP or ANet’s fault?
I think ANet did some kind of optimization magic that ISPs do not like to handle. I am monitoring different players’ posts in here and we are all having same problem almost at exact same time interval (and this time interval is prime time for EU).
24 hours of trial is temporary but you can buy one year VPN service. To be honest I don’t trust Anet people to fix this problem before months. Even if they proved me wrong, VPN is good anyways =)
As a suggestion, “http://cyberghostvpn.com/” in this link, that I can’t enter now, one year of VPN service was 22 euro with discount.
Just a simple example:
- As a d/d elementalist, probably my biggest burst damage comes with Burning Speed/Ring of Fire/Fire Grap skills. At best, I can drop a bunker guardians hp like %20-25. You need to place every single skill to the face of your opponent and most of the time you will fail because you are playing against a human being not a wood.
- A warrior (hammer/bow) just hit me 6k with one button using bow. Which is approximately %25 of my total. Yeah most of the time you can evade it, but endurance is not infinite.
I don’t even wanna give example about thieves because their 2 button equals to > 8k damage on me everytime.
Try using VPN solution as I described in this link: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Network-Lag-Merged/page/47#post3678448
It is just a daily solution (as long as you don’t wanna pay for a VPN service or create tons of new email addresses to get free trials everyday), but at least you can try whether it solves your problem or not.
TL;DR Note: Use a VPN service to test whether game or your ISP is the problem (VPN details below).
I don’t know what they changed about their connectivity but my problems started at the day of last patch. Before the patch I had no problem about lag (as long as one of human beings in my house does not download porn), skill lag or connectivity. But that day I started to have problems that people already explained above my post.
First, I blame the game because my internet speed was fine (actually it is 20mbit if we don’t exceed 75gb limit. If we exceed that limit our connection speed drops to 3mbit. My connection dropped 3mbit at 16 February[two days before patch] and will remain until March ). Because, my download speed, for both torrent and direct, seemed to be at highest and there were no problems about opening websites, etc. Moreover, I had no problems between 16-17 February and before prime time at 18 February. After 19:00 pm according to my country, huge skill delays, constant connection losings and several problems started to occur until 00:00. I tried to figure out why it is happening and find a solution in this forum thread; however, there is no solution except one: VPN.
I saw a post about traffic shaping in here, but since my download speeds was fine (even while using torrent for download) I thought it wasn’t the real reason. Yet, I tried to connect GW2 while using VPN connection to test whether it is my ISP or game. The steps I followed:
- I just wanted to do test so I tried 24 hours of trial from this VPN service: http://www.hideipvpn.com/
- Just give your name/surname/mail and get your 24 hours trial account.
- Download the connection program and login with your username/password
- Select OpenVPN and country (I selected UK since I am in EU) and server from that country.
- Connect and test your game.
After I connected via VPN all my problems were gone. Just 10 minutes ago, I couldn’t even enter the game and I tried VPN solution again. It worked! You can try to use my solution to solve your problem too.
So, my guess is both Anet and our ISPs are roots of our problem. Anet using some kind of stuff in their connectivity thingies that ISPs tend to kitten our game. ISPs are definitely shaping packages that are going to game servers but I have no idea why they are doing it. Because, as I said I have no problem with download speed or other internet related stuffs.

that’s not fair, i feel bad for the programmer.. it’s not uncomman to modify and they did a good job too.. how were they supposed to know people were going to go ‘argumentative’ about a modification to a set that was available for a Year…
i’ve lost hundreds of gold when availability/value of things in this game have changed Overnight.. i try to be considerate in a manner that i wouldn’t hold it against anyone if liadri came back nerfed, or {i’m norn} if more people wore Eir Stegalkin armor..
at the very least the new flamekissed mask does what it is designed to do..
i really feel sorry for the programmers sometimes, and Some of the player base
First thing first, I don’t think, and hope, ANet is not using programmers to design an armor skin.
Second, they could let first buyers, before the big whinestorm, hold their old skins. They didn’t do that. They promised a new skin and a refund. I, personally, hoped a better skin than old Flamekissed skin after so many discussions in here. Instead, they came up with the ugliest thing I can ever imagine. They HAD TO design a better skin (as better as old one); however, they gave us another reskin. I will repeat myself “Whoever did this reskin needs to be fired.”
As one individual, I won’t give one, single cent to this game in future. Because, a third person can whine harder and your money will be wasted.
(edited by Moderator)
Nope, he has no fault. Nobody HAS TO come forums and read those cries. He could invest that gold before the first whining in forums and long before an Anet guy/girl’s response to that cries.
Because I have played +1000 hours with my Norn genius, and I don’t have a human to play. Most probably, I checked that not so good human T3 armor too, but I didn’t like it and deleted its image from my brain. Are you happy with your answers, crybabies? As I said I did not know the fact that Flamekissed skin was a re-skin.
I don’t care full refund. This game does not have any good, light armor skin for me. Flamekissed skin was the first skin I really liked and purchased at day 1, moment 1. I did not know it is a cultural armor’s replica. Now they ruined my already skin, and made crybabies happy. So, I blame crybabies and have already asked a FULL refund. But, I won’t buy a single gem or something like that ever from now on.
The problem is that there were 2 sides of community. They made one side happy by giving to other the most ugly armor ever.
0. I left my spot 1-2 tries before Deso killed it both times. Still, it is not hard (except cases with bugged scaling, fake 2:00 dps phase and LEECHER guests).
For the rest still crying about:
1) “I am playing this game because I wanna escape from reality”
A.1) Escape it in another map. You don’t need to come Bloodtide when Wurm is about to spawn. If you still wanna kill Wurm, do what you are asked to. I said it in another thread “I PLAY HOW I WANT” is the most disgusting argument you can ever use for a hard, organized, group content.
2) “My server don’t have enough x”.
A.2) Yeah, if your whole server guest to Desolation or some other servers you can’t find anyone in your server. Again as I said before, low/medium/high/very high populated servers’ players tend to LEECH Desolation. Did you read previous sentence carefully? I said “high/very high” populated servers’ players are also coming to Desolation. I saw several SFR players, Baruch Bay guilds too. Of course some of them MAY come to Desolation to observe what we are doing, but still there are camping guests from these servers.
The problem is not “what your server does not have”, the problem is you are too lazy to organize something for yourselves. Why no low/medium populated server step up and say “Come our server, guest/transfer to us and kick wurm’s head together”? I think at least 2-3 such servers can fill a map and organize their Wurm event. But of course guesting to Desolation is easier. That’s why I am calling guests as leecher. And some crybabies even report me for this. Go ahead, as if it changes the fact that guests are leeching.
3) “My whole server guesting Desolation and I can’t find any player to organize”
In my first post, I forgot to add this, I admit. I am not calling ALL guests as leechers . If your server’s >%50 guests to Desolation, of course you can’t find people and you do what that majority of players do.
Yet, most of you have not opened a thread about this broken guesting system, which make you leave your server every time, or written your ideas into hundreds of threads that were opened. Moreover, some of you even defended current system by saying “Get your head 2 hours before like we do”. That is the type of players I am saying they are leeching.
4) “Desolation has enough players to create overflow, how do you know guests are the problem”
That’s the problem. If Desolation fills a map itself, why are you still coming to Desolation? You guest to Desolation because do we need help or do YOU need help?
5) “Wait Monday you piece of cat”
I don’t care how many times you report me. Seriously, if they ban me I can save time instead of writing wall of texts. Basically these walls are for nothing because you are not even reading, or even if you read, you don’t want to understand.
(edited by Phoenixlin.8624)
I don’t even try to explain why OP and you and your kind of players should stop whining and learn to move on. Complete waste of time.
But anyways, if you don’t like it don’t do it. There are 902734929482 things you can do in game, and you can easily ignore one world boss among them. Life is too short for whining about one difficult world boss.
And, I do agree Wurm has the worst rewards in this game (effort/time wasted vs. reward ratio) and because of bad rewards people won’t return to Wurm, after they get their all achievements. None of the exclusive stuff are nice, probably the worst designed armor pieces and it is not even a full armor set, just 3 part of it. You may say only mini wurm is nice and it is nice because you can sell it for 2k gold.
I should also say that I almost stopped doing Wurm after 1 week. I still need body achievements (my last one) but my problem is mostly leecher guests in Desolation.
Leecher guests = Instead of organizing or participating an organized group in their server, players that guest to another high populated server to use its organization for themselves.
Whining/Crying about “hard content” makes no sense at all too.
To make things clear, you do no have to do hard content. Story-wise, you will miss nothing. Achievement wise, if you are not a achievement-x (let say x = lover), nobody cares your situation.
(edited by Phoenixlin.8624)
There is no guesting available in WvW map. If you wanna play with your friend one of you have to transfer.
Given the discussions in forums, you need to learn how to deal with difficulties.
No, because you are the only person finds the event too hard.
Fantastic. Achievement hunters often drag others down.
I blame Arena for making achievements so hard to get.
I can’t decide whether he is trolling or not.
For people who still want “Let us help them if we finish our platform earlier”, one of the devs said that they tried to implement it but they couldn’t do it in a good way. So that’s why there is no platform helping.
Tribulation mode’s only fault was coin system. You could only finish TM by “try and see” tactic and it needed 8329482094820 coins or gem store’s Infinite Coin.
There is no HUGE population gap between the servers. There are only leecher guests who dont even bother to organize Wurm/Teqila, or do not participate in an organized event in their servers.
A main map can hardly carry 150 players at a time and every server has 150xY, where Y >= 10, many players in prime time.
Some people gave example of TTS; however, Desolation is the first killer of the Wurm. We do not have any kind of guild like TTS. There are only 150 players (guests included sadly) in main map and awesome commanders that are organizing the event for hours.
The main problem is not population of servers. Main problem is the leeching mentality that popped up with guesting system. As one person said above, players don’t even bother organizing an event in their home server because they think “Hey we have Deso, just leech it”.
I don’t say remove guesting system. I don’t blame all guests, because of the majority’s leeching mentality, rest of the players have to use guesting anyways. So, I will re-write my suggestion: “Let any guest to guest a low/medium populated server at any given time in a day. Let them also guest to high/very high populated servers after midnight and in early mornings. But in afternoons and prime time kick all guests from server and close these servers to guesting.”
Overflowed players killed Mario. I was in that overflow and players weren’t organized by some guild beforehand. 5 commanders took the lead, explained the tactics, answered the questions. and we killed Mario easily.
Problem is not any game mechanics, problem is the community itself. You can kill every single boss in this game by just spamming your “1” button. And it is true for Teqila too. People should start adapting themselves to new mechanics instead of asking nerf.
There are achievement trolls because of you and your type of players. If you keep whining in forums for every single achievement you couldn’t get, some other players will start to troll your achievements which will increase the whining level in forums (as if it is not at max level nowadays -_-)
Of course my claim about trolls only includes players that cause a failure because they don’t want others to get achievement.
