Who cares about chapter 3.........

What is the point of caring for new skills, new armor, new monster, new land. Seriously, I would care all about that but I can't when people in groups get err 7 and can't rejoin because anet is to busy for chapter 3. They need to get the rejoin fuction in first. Guild wars was kinda fine when no new chapters were being made, because they added more stuff in. Observer mode, umm can't think of anymore really. I'm also tired of them saying stuff will come "soon" keyword soon. Quit using the word soon. 4 months isnt soon...

bye

to be honest I bet they are going to release next updates till the new chapter... maybe new chapter only bonuses..

they got to keep us hooked you know.

What is the point of this post? It sounds like you're griping because of err 7's. Err 7 is the infamous "lost connection" error. It can NOT be fixed on Anet's side. It is a problem with YOUR connection. Double check your firewall and router, making sure GW and it's ports are unblocked. If you have dial-up, you have no one to blame but yourself. New stuff will come when it comes. They DID just release Factions you know. The last update was 5 days ago, hardly an eternity. Get over yourself.

You can't say that all Err 7's are either side's fault. Some are Alternet's problem, and others are the result of huge lag or an individuals ISP

I care about Chapter 3. A lot.

Them getting 3 out is just about making money. Them doing updates to current games is about taking care of the players... You can see which takes priority.

1. Guild Wars PvE was never intended to hold a person's intrest indefinitely. PvP is supposed to be the true "end game" content, so try doing that, if PvE is becoming tiresome.

2. Err7 has been a problem, since the game was first released. They're working on reconnects, and I'm sure they'll be added as soon as Anet figures out how to do it because they realize most err7 are problems on their end.

3. It's not taking longer because there's less people working to maintain the game; there were two teams throughout most of the life of Prophecies. 1 team maintains the current chapter, and the other creates the next.

Error 7 means that the internet connection timed out. Let's ask ourselves what is more likely:

1) Anet has bad servers that constantly go down causing err 7. This means massive numbers of people would experience the errors at the same time, and that all people would have equal likelyhood for err 7.

2) Many people have crappy connections that causes them to drop from time to time. These same people do not understand how the network works, nor how to fix their own connection. They blame their problem on Anet, and whine about how Anet refuses to fix it. Their ire grows when Anet doesn't fix it (surprise) since they don't want to come to your house and fix your computer.

Having seen no evidence for 1), I'm going to have to go with 2) for now. I haven't had a single err 7 in a couple months, since I fixed my antivirus. In addition, I haven't seen big groups of people drop at the same time with the exception of the rollback.

Last update was... June 9. Before that, there was an update on June 2, which was immediately preceeded by an update on the 1st. Please explain (slowly if possible) how they are not putting out updates?

You missed:

3) It had nothing to do with Arenanets servers or the players connection, just a problem in the middle.

Nah, part of it is Alter.Net

Who said they were not putting out updates? I made that statement and left the choice of which takes priority up to you. And not all updates are critical to the game. Updating simple things that do not effect gameplay can wait. Sometimes I think they just toss updates out there so it appears as though they are interested. Not to mention, with each update comes a new problem. But I wont go into that.

Right right... these problems with mass Code007s or Err7s are nothing to do with Anet. Thats why last week when i logged back on after 1 half of ToA had just been kicked out at the exact same time.

Tbh i don't much care about Chapter 3 yet, i'm getting Chapter 2 sometime this week so i'll be playing that for a while. Aslong as they add new things like Sorrows Furnace, i don't much care.

Agreed, as long as they dont' make the content completely stale right after release and expect us to keep shoveling out money then i'm content. Though I do wonder how they are going to tie all of this in, which new classes will be released, whether or not new classes will carry on from chapter to chapter, and how things will remain fresh, in general...

I think things like new professions, should be made available to all chapters. But that's just me really. If more and more professions keep getting added, and hardly any new content, I think I'll put off buying new chapters. To me, each chapter should be focused more on content, and not new professions. Keeps games from dying out quickly imo.

Would help if they linked chapters a bit more... I was upset that we still have not fought the Charr invasion off yet. Poor ascalon.

Even I, Master Togo looks forward to Chapter 3. Even here beyond the Mists.

I hope that Chapter 3 has more cotent then Chapter 2 did however.

Fair enough, that's an Anet problem. Most err 7's are not mass destruction, they're someone dropping out all on their own. Consistent err 7 that only happen to one person at a time oon the other hand, are far more likely to be from the user's side.

1) If they make new content available to all chapters, what would be your incentive to buy the new stuff? The honer system maybe? As for not adding new content, there's a big happy land on Cantha out there ripe for the picking. If that doesn't = new content, I don't know what does.

Not new content available to all chapters, new professions

Obvious noob to GW statements

Considering the amount of updates recently and the fact that C3 has not been released yet I'd say taking care of players takes precedence.
