Guild Wars 2

Code must contain at least 15 bugs.

You mean, 15 shade of bugs ?

Btw, dlonie, your troll baits in main section of this forum… Well, sad that it works

Hehe, gotta pass the time until PAX somehow :-)

I love the folks that are agreeing. Fish in a barrel.

Nice fail post

What can I say, leading a double life is full of complications

Meanwhile, another one has failed to notice the bait/poster. This will be TRIGGERing some nice things

Sorry NoTrigger :-P

I think he was on a break last time ForeverAway came out to play and didn’t know.

lol i knew it.

and yes havent checked the forum in some time.

The fact that Colin said we could see more Raids through Living Story is terribly worrying.

Because we all know Living Story instances are supposed to be completed by pretty much everyone, the skill floor is low.

If they don’t separate Raids with a “Story/Easy/Casual” version and a Harder version, I’m afraid they willl suck

Quickfoot Katana.8642:

The fact that Colin said we could see more Raids through Living Story is terribly worrying.

why is everything you hear worrying?

it could mean they are doing living story right → 4 big updates per year introduced by a story.

and tbh you should be happy because he pretty much confirmed they will support the raid content and add more over time.

Well they did said they would be supporting dungeons through living story. It’s just worrying because it happened before.

EVERYTHING else they said, it’s amazing. It’s just that one thing that bothers me

Becasue Anet confirming long lasting support is something we can really believe in!

:’ )

I think any one has the right to be pessimistic towards any instanced content produced by Anet.

The track record don’t be lyin’

This was the worst announcement I have ever seen, they didn’t even show any content yet they are just over a month from release. 10 man means personal contribution will mean even less, I would have much preferred 5 man hardmode content. They haven’t given pve players a way to measure our skill nor give us the ingame ability to gearcheck other players, check other players dps, combos per minute, might generation per minute, successful aegis blocks these things would be vital to know if the content required more than 1 or 2 good players in a group. I guarantee this content will be completed in the first day or two by some no name scrub guild and you will be able to witness half of the group rolling their faces on their keyboards getting carried.

The whole f2p announcement was a major disappointment. I recall seeing several discussions on the forums created by players suggesting anet brings out an optional sub model to help support the game if it meant more frequent bug fixes and content updates, I mean seriously they haven’t even said if they plan to update and fix the current bugs in fractals never mind dungeons.

The only thing I think I have taken away from today is that the buy 2 play business model can’t guarantee a polished, frequently updated game. I have no motivation to login at all if ever.

Ok im a pretty pessimistic person. But this overblown negativity is seriously getting stupid. This announcement was the best possible outcome we could have realistically expected.

They confirmed raids were coming, that they are instanced, they are 10 man, they have exclusive rewards and they arent open world. And also that they plan to make them truly challenging.

The last point they cant prove until we get the content. So i dont know what you guys were expecting. This was a good day.

Ok, didn’t read anything about what the hell happened today.
HIT ME, DUNGEON FORUM

Omg, is it seriously going f2p? Jesus, Jeeeesus, JEEEEESUS, I’m so worried. Jesus.
/freaks out quietly because people are sleeping

10 man instance sounds like that would be fun. Hopefully non-linear

spoj.9672:

So i dont know what you guys were expecting.

I’m holding off until I hear feedback about you guys who played about content/difficulty. 1 raid with 3 wings, each with only 3 bosses sounds a bit less than I expected and too little to jump the gun with 50 bucks.

I don’t think it’s unwise to curb the enthusiasm. Especially when (and I’m repeating myself) this has happened before: “We’ll introduce Dungeons with Living Story” – Introduced Aetherpath and then abandoned.

If abandonment is now out of the question, if for whatever reason we can take more raids as granted and not as following the previous endeavours/examples, the next question arrises:

If Living Story is the main engine behind introducing more Raids, what does that mean to those Raid’s difficulty?

Food for thought

Straylight.7529:

Also you’re ignoring the fact that there are people out there who’re completely happy with the current implementation of the gem shop and don’t want to earn their rewards. They pay money and they deserve getting whatever they bought instantly. Your version of the gemshop would clash with those people.

Is this guy for real? He’s defending microtransactions with the argument that some people like it and that those people rather want to pay for items than to play the game to get them. I don’t care that those people exsist, but trying to justify the lack of content with those people is just ridiculous.

Look, as long as they’re fun to play? Do they really have to be sooooo kittenly 10% of the population can complete them? I mean, I still have fun low-manning arah or faptals <.< and you can’t say those are legendary type of hard.
No, that’s not what worries me. At worst, raids will be more gimmicky dungeons, but since I enjoy old dungeons, I’m ok with it (hopefullyyyy, god, the doubts). It’s the STINK of f2p that is invading my nostrils and making me choke; THAT is what worries me.
f2p garbage… Puah.

No worries if you are allergic to F2P’ers I have the solution for you: LFG with “mapcheck” (Hint: F2P’ers can’t talk in map chat) lol

LOOL I got the alpkitten filter again. Yay! And good advice, I guess. Just… I don’t think I’ll play. Like, I’d rather not play than pug, and looks like I have to pug… if you know what I mean.

… trying to listening to music on these godkitten earbuds reminds me that I can’t pick a decent headset (I can’t decide); over ear, very light, comfy. Suggestions? I know, I know, offtopic… erm, RAIDS! woohoo! Need good headphones to enjoy the.. the.. afking in LA… waiting for someone to log in… ugh..
/tears up

You’ve summed up GW2 endgame so beautifully here.

in case anyone needs it, gw2dps is updated… now with configurable hotkeys.

I agree with spoj, the announcement today had nothing bad in it. It wasn’t as much detail as we’d like to see, and a lot of the promises they made have been made before, but what was there was promising.

After years of silence, they’ve confirmed that they know what they need to do. We now know that they want this content to actually be challenging, and they recognize that they need to produce it more often if this game is going to have a good reputation.

They know what they need to do. Now it’s a matter of seeing if they follow through. But the news today was as good as I could have expected…they’ve destroyed their credibility and our trust over the last few years so of course we’re skeptical of their claims, but at least it looks like we’re on the same page about what the ideal is.

Question for you guys. In TA, has there always been a huge purple bloom that tracks with the movement of the front of oakheart’s head? Never seen it before today, but maybe some of my graphic settings changed.

It’s the gaze of disappointment you get for ignoring boss mechanics.

Ignoring boss mechanics? What are you on about? This large purple haze takes up half my screen, tracks with the boss’ head and doesn’t go away; what does that have to do with the mechanics?

I love you :>

Btw, am I the only one worried about the “no need of a specific group composition to complete raids”? I see two necros (reaper/staff) and 3 heavies in the Raid trailer and it makes me suspicious about the challenge.

Considering that ANet showcased Fractured with a P/P thief, I doubt the challenge as well

But I won’t whine until I’ve played it, and when it sucks I’ll kitten in a box and send it to ANet for destroying my hopes

Well, the meta and stuff… you know :o

A PVT P/P Thief with Scorpion wire :P

didnt see the stream yesterday, but did they mention this on the stream or is it just at the end of the trailer?

That’s from fractured release.

yeah, kinda came to this conclusion some min ago as well.
I was like, it looked like they old trailer, when did they release FotM again, so I checked the wiki and you are right.

And no weapon swap. And he didn’t use his utilities once – signet of shadows and sr btw

Wethospu.6437:

Let’s pick CoE story.

The room with Evolved Destroyer is filled with inquest. You can only see this room through one window at start of the dungeon which isn’t even directly in the usual path.

After you complete the dungeon those inquest get replaced by destroyers.

Last time I tried inquest stay inquest, nothing changes.

This hits almost as hard as the suggested swiftness nerf some time ago.

This one?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Mobility-is-the-real-culprit-not-DPS/

Yeah, thanks a kittening lot EcoRI. You are no longer allowed to troll, because ArenaNet keeps kittening taking you serious.

Go start a thread in Gen Disc saying that adding more dungeons would nerf zerker. Then it might happen

so Im not the only one that is getting real scared at what fierce might say next. Seriously I dont want to blame anyone but that’s 2/2 for you fierce.

All hail the prophet!~

I rely on weapon swapping and trait swapping a hell lot playing my guardian, this might make things a hell lot more interesting, S/D ele come back~

So they already brought down the complexity potential by a million, nice.

kittenmit EcoRI.

kittenmit.

Wut u talking about? I can’t be bothered to sift through all that pointless non-info. They locking trait and weapon swapping, aren’t they?
I would’ve BET they were gonna make them super easy and accessible.

Yup, sounds like we’re getting PvP raids :^)

Ugh that PVP comment, that’s the thing that actually scares me. Build locking I’m pretty indifferent I see some concerns but some positives. The pvp comment though… there’s a reason I don’t play it much and in general dislike the entire system. If that means less one shots and a ton of quicker few hundred damage hits… ehh not my cup of tea.

Well, I’m glad I got a spare ascended knight armor in case things turn sour…

Its all about the Celestial gear mah brothah. Time to dust off those charged quartz crystal.

O_o
/counts charged crystals
… kitten!

Welp, I’m pretty neutral towards the raid. It’s nice they actually try, as this is already more than we’re used to, but I’m going to keep the expectations for the raid and future updates low. Would be neat if it turns out to be good and well supported, though. /totallynotlate

deSade.9437:

such a casual. i got spare ascended CLERICS armor incase someone needs a tank AND a healer

I must say I’m midly annoyed by the increased flux of PHIWs in the trashcan

Oh raids announcement what have you done
