Guild Wars 2

I love how people recommend switching servers for a week then coming back to my original server just to get a couple POIs and Vistas. Yeah, like I should spend $50 (1800 gems each way) for this plus try to gamble even more during off-peak time to get back onto my home, Tarnished Coast, which is already busy. Let alone I’ll be isolated from my guild during that time. Yeah, awesome plan. >.<

Would be much easier if Arenanet just fixed it and rotated servers each week instead of having locations based on rankings from the following week. After all, they’re all the same maps, so why even have duplicated Waypoints, Vistas, and POIs in the first place?

Vanive.3804:

It was at times frustrating and I know sometimes you get impatient, but hey all us world completionists had to do it. Consider it part of the game and more of an honor to wear the star next to your name.

And there’s the rub. I really don’t care about the “star” next to my name. What I care about is that this is a required part of getting your legendary weapon. It’s Arenanet saying “hey, too bad, you have to do PvP to get the best end-game weapons, even if you’re here for PvE only”. And that’s a load a crap.

Granted, I enjoy WvW. But that doesn’t change the principle of my complaint. Not only is this PvP element required for legendary weapons, but being stuck on this due to the lack of interest of others to zerg rush a keep is fail. Arenanet can fix this by auto shuffling servers between different borderland zones/colors each week. After all, they reset them anyways, why not shuffle them too?

The problem goes both ways. Weaker servers in WvW are probably never going to control my server’s (Tarnished Coast’s) central keep in the green borderlands. Those people are scr3w3d over too.

Design fail.

What the heck is Arenanet doing? Please reset the locations, not just WvW reset of control. I’m on Tarnished Coast and for FOUR frackin’ weeks in a row we’ve been stuck on the far-western map of the three borderlands. Just reset control now and Tarnished Coast is still stuck in the same spot.

I’m stuck with 2 POIs and 3 Vistas I’ll never get to in order to get 100% explorer done for my Legendary weapons. Been like that for a month.

WvW is so broken for borderlands because we never switch locations. All anyone wants to do anymore is Eternal Battlegrounds, so there’s never enough on any server to do any serious control for the Borderlands anymore.

Arenanet please fix this.

As others love to complain about others here, let me clear the air again from a Clock Tower hater: I completed it. Multiple times. The puzzle is fun. The Arenanet implementation with scads of people blocking view coupled with the poor camera auto zoom crap is NOT fun. Clock Tower is still fail.

I finally completed the Clock Tower. 4 times. But the ONLY way I could learn it was when I was invited by guildies to their group in a bugged instance with only them. Then the group was alone in there and we could spend our time learning and practicing it. After we got over that hurdle and when the bug corrected itself, it wasn’t so bad with the ridiculous number of people trying to run it with us in other, correctly working instances. And after I was able to get to the top within a couple hours of practice, I kept getting to the top much more frequently.

Lesson learned: utilize the GW2 instance bugs to practice. What sort of message is that sending the player, Arenanet? We have to wait/look for bugs so that we can actually get past your bad decisions that aim to torture us? Or do you expect all of us to bang our head on a couple minute puzzle for several hours until we overcome your poor decisions?

I made it, but the experience was pathetic. I hope Arenanet has learned from this royal c**k-up.

I love the Clock Tower puzzle, but I HATE the way ArenaNet implements. Total fail. Throw a mass of people in a spot where players with smaller characters can’t see where they are. What brilliant dev thought of this? I’d love to take their favorite hobby and inject fail to see how they like it. Ug. This is by far the worst component of the game so far for us completionists who have Asuras and can’t play off-peak so we’re stuck with blinders while jumping.

With all the rage and complaints here WTFH can’t ArenaNet break these down into more instances with only a few people each? And of course when we fail we have a queue and then are forced to watch the intro cinematic before starting again. In EVERY other jump puzzle in game we don’t have to be put through such torture.

This is coming from a loyal fan who loves pretty much every thing else in GW2 from jumping puzzles and dungeons to WvW.

Awesome! I’m SO looking forward to an FoV fix. And while you’re at it, may be more zoom out? Please. Pretty please? Pretty please with a cherry and sprinkles on top?
