Guild Wars 2

…the guy at ArenaNet who made it was repeatedly dying in the live stream yesterday on TwitchTV.

You also know why World 2 is so hard when…

…an Infinite Continue Coin gets put in the Gem Store.

I can see people are already boycotting World 2…so I’m going to hop on that bandwagon.

World 2 and TB are bugged, you getting hits from nothing. I cant complete this on 1 life.

Just buy coins outside of the box. You can get 7 bauble bubbles in one daily rotation from world 1 and the bonus round. This means 7 coins, which equates to 175 lives. Do you SERIOUSLY need more than that to beat world 2? The infinite coin is very VERY unnecessary.

But repeating the same content over and over just to farm bauble bubbles is grinding.

Grinding is a big no-no in ArenaNet’s eyes. Or have things changed??? (sarcasm)

If you consider this game grindy, you have no idea of what true grinding is like.

Not to mention that finishing this doesn’t give you or anyone any sort of advantage over the players who decide not to.

It’s starting to annoy me…the rapids…if it’s buggy don’t design a whole level based on something that bugs nearly every time you interact with it >.>

Not only can you get coins with the easy to get baubles (look up dulfy’s digging guide) and bauble bubbles in world 1, but Continue Coins are dropping from world chests like Support Tokens and Gauntlet Tickets did. I don’t know about you but I still have a stack of 180 some tickets and would have even more tokens if it weren’t for merching them.

After an hour of running jumping puzzles for ascended mats (which now drop there), I’m +6 continue coins. That’s 30 lives. Boom problem solved.

This game is grindy. Things need to be repeated over and over and over in order for any reward to be given. That is grinding.

Problem is you need infinity lives to make any progress maybe if they buff the continue coin so you get 20+ lives from it you can try world 2 with out losing all your coins in a hr..

That’s an inherent design in nearly every relevant MMO, my friend. Grinding isn’t really all that bad, as long as it is regulated so that it isn’t excessive.
For example, you can full exotics on a fresh level 80 by buying everything in the TP, rather than having to run dungeons over and over again. In a different game, say, WoW, every new character implies endless hours of grinding and farming.

The amount of grinding in this game is almost null, unless you want to run FOTM, which was made to please those individuals who do like grinding.

Considering you need bauble bubbles for the rewards, trading them for coins looks like a waste to me.

Here is zone 2 walkthrough with shortcut.

Tribulation mode flowers are bugged. I walk on the same route everytime and randomly get hit by flowers but not always.
Needles to say about bugged monkeys wich can damage you even if cocnut has been thrown in opposite direction, plus hitbox problems.

Agree here. I’m finding Zone 1 to be just so unforgivable that I’m actually getting really angry. I NEVER get this angry on Jumping Puzzles. This is too kitten hard with the bugs.

Doing a single world 1 run for the daily bauble bubble chests is hardly a grind. You can only do it once per account. If you are burning through that then sure, get the infinite coin, but you gotta be pretty bad to go through that in such a short amount of time.

You know what else you don’t have to do? Dungeons. PvP. WvWvW. General PvE.

A fresh level 1 can craft to 80, buy everything on the TP, and never have done one single heart, thanks to the gem shop and converting real world cash into in game gold.

Hence the argument that you don’t have to play SAB is moot, you don’t HAVE to play GW2 either. For people to choose to play GW2 over Skyrim for example requires GW2 to have a fun or reward factor that makes its cost/benefit calculation more favorable. For people to choose to play SAB over WvWvW for example means it needs to be more fun, more rewarding or the newness will wear off.

And why would a developer waste time and resource to develop content that no one plays, regardless if its because it not fun (due to frustration) or not rewarding enough? Also bear in mind, when I say “no one” I recognize that there’s always a small contingent of 1337 players who can’t understand why everybody else isn’t as good as them, which usually results in a couple of threads among the glut of thousands where ten or so players might repeatedly post each other pats on the back and fawn over the devs. These are not the majority on forums, and definitely not the majority among the greater playerbase who don’t register on said forums.

That isn’t the point. GO watch the manifesto and hear the devs specifically state that “grinding isn’t fun” and “we are not building the same mmo everyone else is building”. It is a load of bull. Why shouldn’t we be angry about grind? IT GOES COMPLETELY AGAINST THE THINGS STATED IN THE MANIFESTO!!!

Yeah, I agree. Street Fighter was also a really grindy game, having to keep punching and kicking people over and over and over again. Couldn’t stand the grind!

Wow i don’t know if you are out of arguements and desperate or really that naive…
The whole principle of an MMORPG is based on achievements and character developement. If you take out any progressing task (which includes grinding to various degrees) you may as well send a list of the legendaries you want and have anet sent it to you via mail.

Simply put: try to find a MMORPG without any kind of grinding involved – you won’t find one

EDIT: In regards to the dev’s manifesto: GW2 is one of the MMORPGs out today which involves the LEAST amount of grinding I’ve ever seen in any other MMORPG. Hence it’s my favourite game.

Exactly what are you working on right now that is so difficult to get?

If you play with any regularity you should have a 80 with exotics already. What are you grinding exactly?

There’s your problem. You don’t understand the principle behind MMOs.

I do have an 80 with multiple sets of full exotics, many of which I crafted. The grind to do so however was significantly more than, say outfitting a GW1 character. So for someone to say that GW2 is the least grindy game is simply bearing false witness. You know what is difficult to get? One of each of the 9 SAB skins from Moto. You know why? Because with the time gate, and account bound nature of the rewards its extremely likely that one cannot get all 9, much less multiple sets for multiple characters. Which runs counter to the idea of playing alts in the first place.

Your logic says this in terms of an MMORPG:

Guild Wars is a really grindy game, having to keep swinging your sword and using spells over and over and over again.

So you can quit trolling any time now.
