Guild Wars 2

Well I gave up pretty easily as I was reading on here what was going down, while I was wandering around looking for things that wasn’t there, or broken.Thankfully, I only wasted an hour playing GW2 yesterday.

I don’t do dungeons,but expect the rest of the game to work as intended.

I am sure you are not alone.And you have every right to express your opinions when you are invited to try out a game,and get faced with frustration from poor testing.It is a waste of everyones time.They could not have messed up this free trial event any worse with the display they put on lastnight.

Maybe then they should call it Dungeon Wars 2.As these are the only players who seem to be getting catered for.

As long as it isn’t Lag Shore is all that I am worried about right now.

Hard work to climb out of a hole that you dug yourself into is not a wise thing to do.

With the amount of problems that hit.They should put their hands up and say “ok,this is screwed up.Lets do it all again once we have sorted it all out.”It is the only way to recover from such a faceplant.

This was a marketing cluster****,lets have a free trial,get everyone in the laggy city or lighthouse together, and show how we can drop a lag bomb on all our paid customers and their guests.

I am not angry like I said before,just amazed that when the games industry is in such trouble other than EA and Activision, a company can show themselves up this bad.

The only thing I am learning from all this is to avoid events like this like the plague and just continue out in the wilds like they were not happening.

I spent more money repairing armour from lag deaths from opening event, and teleporting to way points to start wild goose chases.I spent less time on GW2 during this event than I normally do.And did not feel like I achieved anything during my hour on the game and flipping to this forum to figure out what was going on.

I am not angry,I have had my moneys worth.All this is just making it all a farce right now and plenty of egg on faces.

I got gold medal for dying 3 lag deaths and rewarded xp ,karma, and 1 copper.

Took me 10 minutes to pick up any loot after it dropped at my feet,and impossible to look at it as all was frozen.

The monster of all lags rose from the water and cast a freezing spell on us all.Many fell at the lighthouse today.

Welcome to Lag Shores. I just wished Mr & Mrs shelly froze like I did.Because after the lag spike I would be dead.

My main character I played WvW all the time when GW2 first released and the stats say I somehow notched up 447 kills.I enjoyed it too much and leveled up too fast and missed most of the pve world except story missions to 80.

My alts have all been pve and I have not found the pull to go back to WvW yet.

The question is do we throw Risen back into the water once we have caught them?

Hurries to open a Fish and Chip shop in LA.

Someone pressed the big red button too early. I was just near the end of a long story mission,plenty of time i thought, then zip you are out of here.

With the small amount of players moving in groups around Orr Anet should create more npc patrols going from checkpoint to checkpoint and points of interest.To give the lone wolf an easier ride.

You have the option to go it alone,or have an armed escort.And more of a chance of taking back a contested checkpoint with fewer players.Or what about having to pay 1 silver for an armed escort at a base,and click on the destination?

Three of us turned up at a contested checkpoint with all the npc’s dead.The Risen catapults stopping you from rezzing npc’s,and constant swarms of incoming Risen.
We survived somehow,but it would have been nice to have an npc patrol turn up to even it up a bit.

It makes a nice reminder to start a new character.

I have one to chop trees down.

With the dev’s imagination anything is possible in the future.

I thought everyone over 30 turned into Risen?

I made my Ranger stand on one of the Whales mouth and cry.The +5 regen salt tears did nothing.

You do not know how much fun another class is until you play it!

Started off Guardian,then Engineer,and having more fun with a Ranger on the PvE side of things at the moment.

We have a bunch of Sherlock Holmes playing GW2 no doubt.Looks most interesting,and good info hunting players.

I will have the Jaws theme tune playing in the background for sure.

Well at least some players are enjoying it.

It said 5 player to me,no one could party up, got a server error message and that was it.
Error on login screen now.

I was in an Overflow and server crashed.Nice, waiting 45 minutes at LA.Should of watched some NFL instead.Embarrassing.

I think it is over as they have turned back to trick or treat doors.Have to wait for Act 3.

It is very nice to see new stuff in areas you have passed many times,no matter how big or how small.And good to see so many players having fun in Lions Arch.It can only be a good thing,the more you add,the more enjoyment we experience.

The Dev’s and its players all want the same thing in the end.An enjoyable world that is fun for all.

Well at least we know now.So we can get on with polishing our pumpkins until everything gets thorny.

Finally got it to work,did nothing different to when it did not work.So my suggestion is if you keep waiting for Risen to show up at the gate,quit and try again until it works.

Just hit this problem twice with my second character at the gates.

Search entire area,wait.Nothing happens.Quit.Go play something else.
