F. Aspenwood / Jade Quarry

Ok, I normally don't start threads, but I don't think reviving the past one would make much difference. Also I do not mean this as a rantish place for people to cry about, I just want to share a few thoughts that have been bugging me.

To be honest, I see few to none investiment in those pvp setups, while I see them to be really fun, interesting map to test out builds without being cursed to hell, besides it can be part of the pve. Now correct me, but what has been done to keep it clean and fair? To double faction earnt is to attract people, but once it's over, everything is back to what it used to be.

I was trying aspenwood in the luxon side for the title (and the side is not the point), but how many bugs that aspenwood has; the idiotic AI of the soldiers, and the people who lure them away just so they won't respawn, since they will never die. The turtle likes to get stuck at the gates (and the problem is that they stop moving even if the gate is oppened), and sometimes, hardly though, players also get stuck on the door when kurzicks hand in amber. Dragging the soldeirs away is really an intentional "exploit", while locking people/npcs at the gate is not entirely. No one can change the players, but can't that be fixed on the game? It's been there ever since factions is out, I doubt it was not noticed or reported. I won't even go into the leeching issue, I have no idea how it can be fixed.

This is not just a stupid pvp arena you can join, there are 5 shrines and 5 gates to be taken care off, it should make people use their brains a little at least. Jade Quarry is completely dead, just make it explorable for cartographers then. Don't think it is just one arena, think it as the long term future of the game, when gw becomes no longer popular, and other arenas shut down. I don't like either of the scenarios.

I really apologize if all of these has been already discussed before, if the development team has already stated "no, it's not a bug, we want players to do this or that", but I cannot help to feel frustrated seeing all of those every single game I join. I hope there's a way around, feel free to discuss.

I've never been able to get into either of those. I try now and then when I'm bored, but I always end up waiting through five "No opposing team joined" countdowns, and giving up.

Ya I have tried to like F. Aspenwood / Jade Quarry but I realy find it to be a confusing mess, with people not knowing what to do or how to do it. I won a few and lost a few and never did figure out how we won or why we lost. Also there were some afkers that were driving me nuts, ab on the other hand is candy to me I just cant get enough, great fun and I love the randomness of the teams although that does have some ak as well.

Also for the longest time I wondered how to get into the matches, nver occuried for me to just click on the button, also not having a choice of teammates is just a real downer, at least with ab you can pick 3 of your teammates. Also if they havent fixed it by now Im not sure it every will get fixed in the future.

twice I got into aspenwood, and it was REALLY fun....to me it was all the good parts of ABs, but with a much funner objective, and the chance to use each sides elite units (juggs and turtles). The main reason I think most people dont go, is because the faction there is much less then if you went to ABs...if they ramped up the faction gain, and made it a funner place...many more people would go...as a side note, mabey if they made the winning side gets 1 amber for aspenwood (which is an amber mine/quarry/however you get the stuff), and Jade quarry winners get 1 jade (pretty obvious, they quarry jade there...), then it would be a larger incentive to go....200-300 gp per game aside from faction (if it was boosted to about 1k for the winners, would be nice), would encourage many more people to go...ESPECIALLY if they announced the changes on the login page so the more "casual" AB people knew, and moved to aspenwood (which I would say is much funner then jade quarry)

I go to Fort Aspenwood daily

it has issues but its still fun for me

I go both sides, usually Burst Sin on Luxon, and bonder on kurzick. Jenna or Liana, and I take no prisoners.
