Guild Wars 2

Ok so let me start by saying I think this game is great and I love playing it when I login. However I believe its still missing something to make it even better. It has probably been suggested before, and I do apologise if that is the case, but my opinion is there needs to be raids in the game. I have faith that Anet using the system they have now, with no holy trinity could work in a 10 man raid atleast, maybe not 25 but most certinly 10. Adjusting mobs wouldn’t be that difficult if you think about it. They just have to make them tougher so they don’t die as quick but not so much where they can 1 shot a single person. Before anyone says it, yes I know they have the lvl 80 dynamic events which technically would be a raid, but it’s not the same thing. If Anet could somehow apply raids to what they have now Guild Wars 2 would be something that words could not even describe.

not going to happen. read any of the other dozen threads and anets response.

There’s a Search feature you can use to see how many threads have been made about this topic and how many replies have said no. A good majority, and I’m with them. We don’t need raids, thank you.

I have to admit after posting this and doing some searching, I was thinking wait a minute, I forgot we have fractals now. With the way fractals work that would fill that gap easily. So after reflecting on that it probably isn’t needed. However, saying that I think it would still make for a nice addition to the game.

good I was about to say Fractals is a 5 man raid for all intensive purposes but you realized it, next time use your search function ;-)

Kaimick, please consider linking your Anet Issued forum Police Badge number the next time you find it hard to resist responding to a forum post. Judging from to amount of posting (really wanted to use the word ‘trolling’) that you do on these forums, I figure you must have some sort of police powers.

Wasn’t aware that pointing out that someone should use the search function instead of making 1000 threads of the same topic was trolling. Let alone if you do read the forum policy and rules it does specifically state not to re-post threads that have already been posted and to use the search feature before posting as your question may be answered there.

If I need some sort of police badge to point out simple rules than I guess I am guilty of not having it. But if your upset at the fact that people can’t follow the simple rules ( cause most people don’t bother to read them ) and get mad because there are people like me ( cause there are others even on this thread that did the same thing ) trying to help people understand so they are not infracted cause they didn’t read the rules, then so be it be mad I guess

seems we need more threads on raids. cos remember before release when people asked Anet well if your not gonna have raids for endgame what will you have instead? their answer was nothing! no raids and no substitute for raids. welcome to guild wars 2.

Can we ask for more organized group events? Something along the lines of the Temple of Lyssa event, except not buggy?

Overstatement of the Century.

That being said:

1) GW1 had 8 – 12 man content (Underworld). It’s possible they might reintroduce this. However, before they do, imo, they need to tone down the particle effects and bloom / give an option to block other players particle effects (Field effects stay on screen), otherwise no-one is going to be able to see anything.

2) They haven’t really removed Raids anyway, just taken them and put them out in the world (Meta-events). And while they do need to be made harder in terms of scaling up (i.e. additional mechanics depending on the amount of people much like Fractals), they’d function the same.
