Guild Wars 2

They did Thank you so much, Anet, much appreciated!

No, the angle of the eyebrows is completely different. The character has a different expression now. It’s very noticeable.

I second the request to return this face to how it was before. It was by and far my favourite out of the new ones, which is why I made a character with it, and now she looks way too soft for what I had in mind :/ Add the changed one as a new one if you like, but please don’t take away the one we got before.

I keep the pick and other farming tools in my shared slots, so no need to buy more than one set even though I have a bunch of alts. So no, not worth buying it a second time, at least to me.

Second this. I hoarded up gems specifically in anticipation of the outfit, but it’s only available as part of the bundle now. I also have the pick already, don’t need or want more shared slots and have no desire to gamble with gemstore dyes, as that never ends well. So please, Anet, you’ve done it before, do it again: let us buy the outfit separately.

I just finished getting the last of my creature kills, and rarely have I felt such malicious glee as I did when destroying Levvi’s device afterwards. This event was by and far the least fun I’ve ever had playing GW2 in the last almost four years. A lot of the reasons why have already been articulated in this thread, but to add my two cents:

My biggest gripe is the waiting game. Standing around in a map (or killing creatures mindlessly again and again as they slowly respawn) waiting for the creature to spawn, often ending in a disappointment because it just never spawns, or maybe it spawned before you got there. No indication of how long it might take, and most importantly the disappointment of time wasted when it doesn’t spawn after ~30 min of boredom.

The smaller of my gripes is the tiny holograms the device projects, which are very hard to make out unless you zoom close, and often are covered by terrain. It’s a minor inconvenience one learns to mitigate, but why is it necessary to begin with?

After trying to hunt several of the creatures in vain yesterday, today I simply tried the LFG squadjoin instead, which gave me the devourer quite quickly. The arctodus took a fair bit of staking out Lornar’s Pass while doing something else on the side and checking the game every now and then, and with the wyvern I got very lucky, as it spawned soon after I had arrived in the map, so I put up a squadjoin for it myself to help other players out.

With the bandits there is a bit of the waiting game thing going on as well, but at least their spawn rate is reasonable and predictable, and you always know the right spot beforehand. I just don’t want to spend my gaming time sitting around waiting, and I would imagine that to be true for most people.

To end on a positive note, I did like the scavenger hunt part of the event. It’s always nice to have a reason to go around the beautiful continent of Tyria even if you’ve long since mapped it all.

Yeah, the latest update seems to have broken this. :/ Hopefully they’ll fix it quickly.

Both the GW1 and GW2 Wiki seem to be down, and have been since last night (my time, so at least for the past 12 hours). 503 error in both cases.

I was just kicked out twice from the game, and after the second time I’m unable to log back in, I just get error 42. Something up with the servers?

I’m in Aurora Glade.

Can’t login to Aurora Glade (EU). Error code 42.

I just downloaded the second update of today, and after logging in successfully and playing a few minutes, I got kicked out because “the game lost connection to the log-in server”. After that, all I get is Error Code 58, which states the same thing. Is this happening to others as well?
