Guild Wars 2

Pick up some diving goggles and you be pulling moves man!

The end mission rewards are bugged out? How can ANet let something so simple be bugged. I also understand that for a lot of people that the level 78 quest is still freaking bugged out and a lot of people still can’t complete their personal story. I am on level 72 I think but after hearing this crap I may just play an Alt until things get sorted because some of this stuff is ridic.

I love you ANet, butkitten you should have had a real beta test!

Spinning and/or flipping does not equal diving.

The state of the game is very acceptable and you will accept it. It’s a brand new mmo so lots of bugs which will get ironed out in a month or two. Enjoy what you got, or leave i guess

Just to say, I’m from desolation and the orr maps all have at least 1 skill point bugged and atm the event at cathedral of lyssa has one of the seals bugged which obviously means that until they fix it there’s no way of winning the event. Also the Balthazar one is also bugged. I seriously find this to be appalling. I can’t complete maps, I can’t get the karma armor I want, it’s just a bug fest. Meanwhile on the american servers I hear they fix everything at nightime while us at europe get the short end of the stick like usual.

There is some kind of diving animation but I’ve only gotten it work once properly. I even tried different ways running, jumping into water but it mostly happens when I’m already in the water or not at all.

Edit. Now that I think of it, maybe the one time was actually an error and it shouldn’t normally happen like that, though I hope not and it’s a bug and not working correct right now.

This could be tricky to do from a point high up. There is a bit of a dive animation if you do it very close to the water.

I’ve reported so many bugs/glitches that i’ve developed “report fatigue”. At some point you have to stop and ask: Am I the customer or an unpaid tester here?

Any game of this scale is going to have rough edges that need to be smoothed out, even after the initial launch. It has still been very smooth regardless of a few mishaps and it honestly baffles me that people believe any game is going to be free of potential problems during the stages that allow a lot of room for growing pains.

Just be patient. You’ve paid for the game, though it isn’t going anywhere…and I can’t really think of many scenarios in this game where you’re going to be massively screwed over simply because the odd skill point or enemy may be bugged.

I understand that in ANY MMO launched their will be bugs. And thankfully I haven’t ran into many of them and have had a good time so far.

But with the 60-80 zones, there was not enough testing done. I knew this when ArenaNet didn’t have a full Beta test and only kept it to the weekends or on some select days. I knew these zones where going to feel buggy and they are.

Time will tell to see how fast they can get to these problems. If they can fix them in a timly manner than I will be very happy!
ATM I LOVE Guild Wars 2 and think it has been one of the best MMO launches yet. (Besides Rift which was almost flawless).

Anytime you develop software (constant) and introduce players (variables), bugs will pop up. That’s just the way it goes. I’m sorry the OP, or any other, has encountered a bug that’s stopped the enjoyment of the game. One of my story quests was bugged and I had to restart it several times. It was frustrating. The end.

I’ve encountered bugs in games for twenty years. I’ve encountered bug complaints posted on general forum for all to see (to make sure OP has a sufficient audience for his woes, even though his most important audience, the devs who can fix the bug, would very likely find the problem easier if it was posted where it should be posted, not general forum).

LOTRO. CoH. SWTOR. STO. WoT. WoW. Every one of them. Nothing new to see here, everyone move along.

Pretty much true of every MMO. The heaviest amount of testing is done on the early areas to make sure the game is ready for launch.

American servers aren’t any better for the record. There are 3 bugged skill points on Tarnished Coast’s Cursed Shore right now (ship, maze and the Charr challenger in the middle waypoint Meddler(?)), and the temple of Melandru invasion hasn’t worked since ever. The Grenth event does work, however. Balthazar didn’t work either, at least some days ago. I did complete Lyssa a couple of days ago.

Malchor’s Leap’s southern-mid skillpoint was still bugged as of yesterday. I’m quite sure Straits of Desolation’s SW one is still as well, but I could complete the map some days ago because a Guardian with a staff managed to fix the NPC.

Dragon fight, dps’ed a bit then people started to die by 5’s and 10’s. So I stopped dps and run over and help every single person I could, rez them up. I’m a Guardian, so I go buff crazy and pop 2 Elites throwing out mega heals and removing there conditions. I pull out my mace / shield and go to town laying down AoE regen, protection ECT.

Big bad dragon dies………. I got not a single thing, not even a medal…. So I asked do you get contribution for rezing and healing and buffing….. The answer was No.

What kind of game are you guys trying to make here??? Chances are I contributed a lot more than most, since not many people heal every one around them to full and remove all there conditions ….. In a dragon fight. A lot of people would of died had I not prevented it. Not cool ANet!

Hope I dont get banned…

Test..

Looked at preview first…

Awesome

on my ranger, i find myself switching to the axe just so i can tag every single mob I see. that way, i get XP off each of them dying, and i get a gold medal every time.

anyways, at the dying people, thats what they get for trying to melee! learn to equip ranged weapons and kite more, thats how this game is designed!

There’s quite a bit of discussion over Guardian’s ranged capabilities. We have the scepter and staff, and some people say that’s fine right there. Others cry for something less support and more offensive (bow, rifle, etc.).

Boone’s comment about learning to play ranged would find much agreement among Guardians frustrated that they’re limited to melee.

Yeah I found out about this when I was talking about a hand-and-a-half sword, aka a kitten sword… quite amusing.

I dislike it, because it confuses people when you’re actually talking about kittens.

My signature proves my point.

I’m not even going to take this as a serious comment. I make a post about healing rezzing, buffing, and removing conditions, and you go on about ranged weapons…….

I’m a guardian! Not an elementalist. Scepter is the worst guardian weapon we have by a long shot. My point is healing rezzing, buffing, and removing conditions should count for contribution. Since I contributed more than any scepter guardian by a long shot.

Charr are real kittenes don’t you agree?

It’s a known bug. You’re supposed to get participation for supporting players doing damage, but it’s not working for some reason.

They want to make sure that no one goes full support. This is how they have done it.

I would consider a better model to make contribution require doing a certain threshold of both support and damage.

Check to see that the person has done at least some amount of boon application, condition application, and damage – but this gets tricky as some builds lack conditions but still contribute in a meaningful way (though they’re less common).

So perhaps a mix of check for [boons | heals | conditions] and [damage].
- To get full contribution SHOULD require some damage check. But doing only damage should not give full contribution.

When I do it, I almost always get a “TY” from the player in question, and I do the same. If things are simply too busy I’ll make sure to at least /bow or /salute.

:)

OP: I salute you. 10/10

I went to complete the Mount Maelstrom map today and found I couldn’t because 3 of the skill points were bugged out. When I asked in chat they said the best thing to do is wait for reset or transfer to get them. Both options are just bad.

They are bad, but those options are even worse if you’re not reporting each and every bug you find so that they can eventually get fixed.

unacceptable? Have you played any other game released in the past 5 years? This game is more acceptable then 99% of most AAA games, including non-MMOs. The state of the gaming companies is “we can release an unfinished game and patch it later.” A game that was released last year (an MMO I will not mention) was so underfinished, they have to re-release it over a year later.

TwistedWarrior.8613:

“I don’t think Guild Wars 2 has the sort of polish that a game on release should have.”

Did you play SWtOR or Diablo III during they’re releases? The forums of these two games upon release were just overwhelmed with hate for obvious reasons.

SWTOR’s launch was extremely smooth. It’s only after people hit level cap that the real hate came out. The major issue at this point in SWTOR was the queues, something that GW2 has seemed to avoid.

As a fan of that game, I must say that I find the General Forums here to be quite validating. All new MMORPGs have warts and problems. SWTOR did, and GW2 certainly does. I like both games and think they both have something to offer, but the content locusts will never be satisfied.

Why are they so bent on no support players? I personally LOVE supporting others. Sometimes I don’t always want to have to get in there and run a bash-in-their-head rotation of 1-2-4~-1-1-etc. Being a support class generally puts you in your 7-0 skills and I enjoy mine as a Guardian.

I see no reason for them to force us out of support.

Same problem with Rift when it went live. You would think that GW2 team would have learned that and had this addressed early on. But much like so much other stuff, it didn’t get done.

I hope this is true because I think it would completely contradict itself otherwise. Implementing a “downed” state into the game and then not rewarding people for healing/rezzing those players is not going to encourage anyone to help them out. This game is all about team-play, so I would like to think that it just isn’t working as intended.

Yes. Op is right but I believe everyone agrees and they are working on it, we’ll have to be patient for now, play around on an alt in the meantime.

There is an achievement and title that goes with rezzing. I know it’s not what you want to hear right now but at least it’s something while we wait for Anet to fix it.

As this discussion has been resolved, this thread is closed.

I think there is a supertroopers gag in here somewhere.

Why do I feel like two threads got merged somewhere?

They did get merged, I have absolutely no idea why, they had nothing to do with one another.

I’ve e-mailed the forum administrator to have them unmerged if possible.

@all the people saying that the bugs in the game are completely acceptable:
It’s not about that the game has some bugs, but the KIND of bugs it has. If there are some clipping issues, or some NPC doesn’t behave correctly, or a skill is maybe a little bugged, that’s fine. It will get fixed, no problemo.

But honestly, parts of the game feel like they never once went through any QA. There are hearts that simply do not work as intended, never, for no one. There are event chains that are completely broken. There are main story quests that do not work for a lot of players. Some maps cannot be completed due to bugs with skill points. Parts of the story sequences aren’t even synchronized, not even in english! This is not some “it happens” bugs, this is beta state. The game is obviously not finished and it seems to me no one in QA ever played to 100% map completion.

Like I said before, I love the game, do not confuse that. But to say that the bugs in this game are normal is just fanboyism. I mean the final reward for the story is broken. Seriously.

Kitten filter is the most awesome filter I’ve ever seen :P

Only thing better than a kitten filter would be if we wouldn’t need a filter at all. But that will never happen. It’s just sooo cool to write curses in places where other people can see them.

Jayne.9251:

I adore how irate it makes the potty-mouths. Now if only it could be added in-game. :)

(hint, hint)

Haha! They absolutely should add this in-game :)
