Guild Wars 2

I am very agitated at this moment and only the forum rules prevent me from heavily sprinkling this post with very unflattering language. But to make an insult nonetheless: At one point in the game’s design a feature of rudimentary common sense is missing.

(Or two, rather. The other point of common sense missing is, of course: “Armour should cover your body and not reveal it more than even your underwear does.”)

I just spend a month leveling a character to level 80, discovering 44% of the map, reading every text, talking to every NPC, to savour the game to its fullness with great joy and sentimentality, as I continued my 7 year journey that began with Guild Wars: Prophecies.

And then my mouse slipped and I joined the wrong order.

I was not asked to confirm, I could not redo it by quitting the game; I, just by one muscle twitch, devastated a months work and my enjoyment of the game.
Now one could say that I can level another character to 80 with relative ease, but that will not give me back the time and gold I spend, and there is only so many times you can do something the first time. (One.)
Now all I can do is pick one of the three rewards that I am offered every time I log in, every time I enter a map.

I am sad. I am angry. I want this changed.

Uhm… I’m just curious, which piece of armor are you talking about?

Um… you don’t have to level a character to 80 to do your Personal Story, even if you’re alone.

And besides, if you want the “full experience”, you’re going to have to do the Personal Story on multiple characters anyway, since there are various points in the story where you get a choice and it alters the path you end up on. And yes, those choices do have a significant effect: Some NPCs that you meet in one storyline are completely missed in the others, while some NPCs barely get mentioned.

The point is not whether I must, the point is that I have.
I wanted to join the Vigil or Priory, but ended up with the Whispers, the only storyline I’ve already done.

A simple “reset quest” option would work equally well.

Why you need to be 80 to do your storyline? All my 6 chars I was doing storyline with normal leveling to get more easy xp.

And remember, this is an MMO not an single player RPG where you can cheat quests and if you kitten anything you just cheat reset. Every move has consequences, there is a lot of databases that will need to be adjusted and more and more code need to be created leading to more and more bugs or things to just waste server memory/process.

And sorry I really can´t remember one MMO that has your “reset quest” button.

1. Again: I don’t need to be, I just am. My point is not that I need to level to 80 to join an order, my point is that if I want to reset my order option, I have to level that character to 80 again at some point, because, you know, a new character is not level 80, like the one I just botched with a simple slip of the mouse.

2. That MMO would be called “Guild Wars”. It literally has a button to reset quests.

ps.: You can also reset quests in GW2, because if you log out of the instance before you get your reward, the whole thing gets reset. The solution in these cases would be to extend that possibility to the Reward Select?screen. Or, easier, make the NPCs ask: “Do you REALLY want to make this choice, or was that a mistake?”

No Guild wars don´t have this button sorry, you can find another.

My armor breaks IF my mosue slips and I die. I want a armor reset button. My mouse slip and I close the game, I want a reset close the game button. My mouse slip and break, I want a reset mouse button…

Be more careful next time.

The quest only resets totally if you close the game much before the last part of the quest before the reward screen. And you really get a point in the end a new screen asking “if you are sure about your choice”. This is a good point, not a reset button.

Heh? In your quest log (default key L), you have a button to abort quests next to the quest.

Just so you know, if you accidentally make the wrong choice, then click the X in the corner instead of finishing the conversation, you can start the conversation over from the beginning.

This puzzles me a bit. There is a confirmation question after you choose order asking you if you really want to choose it. Did your mouse slip 2-3 times ? (talking to right NPC, choosing you wish to join and then confirming it) ?

I was talking to Ihan to see how he would describe the tasks and titles of the Order. (Because I always read all the text offered.) When I clicked on the red back?arrow, my mouse slipped down a millimeter, my finger still on the button, and suddenly the reward screen appeared.
So if there is a “confirm” option, the only explanation is that it is exactly at the same position as the initial choice?dialogue option and my misfiring mouse hit both (or all three, if one counts the one click I wanted to do) in one go. I certainly did not voluntarily click more than once, as I only wanted to go back to the overview of the dialogue.

Again on only one line out of context and out of your original post. You said about RESET BUTTON not abort quests. If you just want people bumping your post to kitten attention this is my last post.

If you want to discuss be more adult.
