Guild Wars 2

An off-topic question: How you are able to see enemies armors with their own colours, like armor of players of your server? I have always seen enemies ’armors all red/blue/green (server colour). Thanks!

I agree with this post. Don’t make again this error Anet.

yea, totally agree!!!

Sincerly, i didn’t really like the previous updates, in my opinion they were not engaging; from my point of view they was only little minigames or events to tempt players to stay in front of their computers. But this is update is involving me a lot:
- the challenge arenas are pretty cool and fun, they required medium skill e knowledge of your own class and the redwards are fine; and please Anet don’t listen the whining in this forum about the last boss: fortunally, there’s an encounter that requires skills.
- the pavilion: yeah, there is a lot of farming, but from my point of view its a fun farming because the ratio drops/farming time is good; and the arena with different environments is a very nice idea .
- You repopulated Divinity’s reach, the most beatiful capital in the MMO world, and you gave a real sense of celebrations and festivity.
- Wallet, new champion and dungeons’ redwards are some of the best improvment to the game since the release.
- Achievemnts of this update don’t required the crazy farming and numbers like, for example, dragon bash; so they are not frustrating and i enjoyed complete them: torch run is very nice. I think that they are more fun also because they did not take place in Lion’s Arch: we have been in this city for 11 months….continue to change the place of achievemnts its the right wat to bring more fun.

So the MORE REDWARDS point was a MUST that the game needed and you reached it (of course, you can improve again it). Now add more permanent content, more armor skins NOT in the gemstore, more dynamic events with a stronger impact on the worlda in various region (also low level zones), and more challenge elite encounters and the game will be in the right way (only speaking about pve…pvp its another story).

Same problem. And Anet you must fix this because its not a problem for some people; the majority of players, if not all, have this issue; so it doesnt depend from people’ system but from the game/client

C’mon Kralkatorrik! Come and destroy the Zephyr Sanctum!.

HERO.2057:

I even forgot about this game, I had the forum on my bookmarks and came here to see whats was going on.

This game, I’m afraid it has run it’s course, I expect the store to be flooded with RNG boxes and the dummies shall continue to purchase to get an item to show to their 5 friends.

I have stopped playing this game on it’s 2nd or 3rd month after it came out.

All my friends GW1 avid players, we all had over 10k hours of GW1, have quitted too, I don’t even hear about this game anywhere I go, neither I see it on any shelves in any store.

GW2 was a failed experiment, mostly because of the hype the created around the game, and the fail to delivery what was expected.

The game was stale when I left it, and by the looks I get from reading the forum, it’s still the same.

Just because your server has an overflow, doesn’t mean that the game is full of players, I truly believe the number of players had really declined massively.

But I could be wrong, or right, I don’t even care.

There’s no meter, but I am truly a GW lore fan, loved it, consumed it, lost myself in it, just waiting for the last book to come out, and then I’ll probably pull the plug on it, forever.

Truly sad, my most fun years in gaming that I’ve ever had was playing Guild Wars, but they let me and many many more down.

Sad but true.

What Anet have shown in 1 year of game…is that they care only about the gemstore. Guys, open your eyes, this is not the same Anet that made GW1, they have not the same intentions. They don’t want to create an epic world, but thwy want a business world. And don’t think that im an hater or that i’m happy about this; i’m very sad about this but this is the reality. I play GW1 for 5+ years, i waited GW2 excited…but they lose the opportunity to make a great game, because the care more about the money than the quality; and they will never change their position.

Agree. GW2 has a lot of epicness..potentially. But it doesn’t express it.

You should back to the past and play gw1, daoc , wow vanilla or other MMO like that to understand what means the feelings that an MMO can give you. But people like you are the modern community…and it explain many things…

Please Anet, remember what you have made with GW1.
You created a world full of epicness.
When i was playing GW1, i was feeling that i was really the hero that could change the fate of Tyria; and this feeling miss in GW2.
And you created an awesome mature community, ready to help everyone in difficult moments, ready to feast and joke together in cities during festivities. We were friends, we were a family. And this miss in GW2, where it seems that everyone thinks only of themselves.
I like GW2, its a good game…but it miss that feeling of epicness, that feeling that makes you say " Yes, i’m a legend". Living Story seems only a run on the achievements; and it seems that to the direction of the game matters most to create a business world than an epic world.
But i Always trusted in you and i will continue to do.

Very interesting point of view and i agree totally. Improving the mobs team work, also the players team work will be improved. And another thing is that in gw2 the majority of mobs in maps are alone, so its very easy to kill because they fight alone; in gw1 there were GROUPS of mob, and it was more difficult…every Group was a challenge because mobs help each other.

Excuse me but, you will have to spent your AP at an NPC, or when you will earn XXX AP you wil get a redward?

Agree with the author of this thread. Many of you say that armor in gemstore are only skins so its not pay to win. But the problem is that this game is a skin based game. Putting new skins through gemstore in this kind of game…its like putting end game gear in WoW, Aion, Rift store!. Its easy to say" but are only skins..its not pay to win!"…thanks CAPTAIN OBVIOUS there is no gear progression in this game!…the only progression are skins, and i like this, but you can put the progression obtainable through real money.

Janson Smalling.1850:

Rest assured, we pay attention to all of the threads.

Not every suggestion can be acted on, but we love hearing what you guys like, what you want, and what you don’t want.

And it’s creative community discussion that will make the game better. Not just in the Gem Store, but in all aspects of GW2. So don’t despair; if you bring up valid ideas, we absolutely notice and discuss them! We definitely try to discuss them with you, too!

So i’m try. GW2 is a skins game based. SO why the majority of news skins that you put in the game, were obtainable only through the gemstore? and only 2-3 skins were putted in the game…considering that these skins were temporary skins limit to the time of the event. This means = NO permanent new skins in the game (except fractal weapons and other 1-2 weapons…0 ARMORS) after 1 year. And i repeat…this is a skin game based…as far as i’m concerned. Can you explain me this? and can you give us some info on what you are planning about skins aspect?

Agree…large map with kurzs and luxons enviroment. And you fight along the side of players of your same faction, also from other servers. Redward like kurz and lux armors and weapons, but more tiers of them based on your reputation. It would be great.

More things in the gemstore? pleas anet, go in the opposite way…DELETE THE GEMSTORE; you are focusing to much on the gemstore and not on the permanent content of the game…

FlamingFoxx.1305:

Nothing you NEED is in the gemstore.
Gemstore armours are skins, they don’t have stats.
Gemstore weapons are either skins or have to be obtained through RNG boxes. Boxes which you can get in game.
The gemstore offers no real advantage and you don’t ever have to buy anything… Stop whining >.>

The topic title can be wrong interpreted. As i said in messages before, i know that nothing in the gemstore gives you advantages and im not whining….so please read all the discussion before post something, not only the title. What i mean is that the purpose in this game is to collect skins cause there is no gear progression with raid or other like that (except ascended). And when the purpose is collecting skins, they can’t put the majority of new skins throught the gemstore, without putting new permanent skins in the game.

Creeper.9360:

Need? No. Want? Possibly.

There is nothing you need that is from the gem store.

This. You don’t need the gemstore but you CAN. And i understand that many people don’t mind about skins in the gemstore and that is not a pay to win because they don’t give you more power…but i repeat, this i a SKIN GAME BASED. End game raid gear of wow,rift,tera etc= new skins in GW2. And you can’t find raid gear in rift,wow,etc store. Ye, i can don’t mind about the skins in the gemstore, but i think its not the right way for a game of this type, especially when no permanent new skins obtainable throught the game, like dungeon or wvw, were added since the 28 august.

I know that things in the gemstore don’t give you more power to your charcater or other like that. But the problem is that the game is based on skins. Many of you said that there many other awesome skins around the game, and those one in the gemstore are irrelevant…well for me not. If you pay attenction at living story updates, all new skins were obtainable through the gemstore, some directly and some with RNG boxes, and the dragon bash skins that you can obtain also in the game..has a ridicolous drop rate, that suggest you to buy rich coffer ( that in my opinion has a similar drop rate). Well i think in a skin based game is inconceivable that NO PERMANENT new armor and weapon skins have added since the start of the game…this is the problem. Since 28 august the only new skins have been temporary skins that you can obtained thought real money or through a ridicolous drop rate in the game. The problem would not exist if, while putting 1-2 particular skins in the gemstore, in the meanwhile you put a triple number of permanet skins in the game. In gw1 there were some skins in the store, but they were irrelvant cause in game there were hundred of skins, and many were better than ones in the store. But in gw2 its not the same. I think that after 1 year, a player could bore about the same skins that game offers, and seeing that the only new skins that he could acquire are in the gemstore. In my opinion the game is loosing its sense.

[…]but they are the same Anet thats made GW1. […]

They are not. (Maybe they were in the beginning, but it changed a lot. E.g. two of the three founders of GW have left, etc.)

Oh sorry, miss this…now i begins to understand some things; hope will not go like WAR…

Seriously, everything in the game is going to put in the gemstore: pets, armors, weapons…well again some months and we will only have to log in, spend our money and click on gemstore for everything, and nothing will remain to do in the game. I don’t understand this decision of anet to focus so much on the gemstore..ye i know it gives many money, but they are the same Anet thats made GW1. And i don’t to want to speak how much gw2 is different from gw1 (ye, im a gw1 veteran and i miss many things of it) because its too long. But the gw1 business that anet took in the past i think was perfect…da** they sold 7 milions copies, i know from players with i played in gw1 that many buy things in the store, but these things were extra bank slot, char slots, some new missions…but very poor things in confront of the entire game.; there were no armors(only town clothes), no weapons…why? why armors and weapons skins are the core of the game. If you permit to obtain “the core” of the game with real money…the game begins to have no sense. Put boost, crafting station, or others things like that, bu please anet..stop putting armor and weapons skins!. Becuase puttint weapons and armors skins in the GW2 gemstore, its like putting the end game raid gear in wow,rift,tera,aion store. What’s kind of pleasure is to obtain an AWESOMECOOLXXX3943SKIN with ten euros/dollars and a bottom push?…Fow,Uw,Urgoz,HoH,DoA, killing an epic boss or something like thakittens the RIGHT way (in my opinion) to obtain the “faboulous skins”.
I would know your opinion about this aspect of the game.

Ps: sorry for my english.

Me too, no achi

any Eu server opened?

Any uncontested in Europe?

Totally agree, and personally i don’t see the “news problem”: to know the solution log in guildwars 1. Amazing login screen with a little window for news——> EASY!.

Agree! it was Amazing!

Anet, the message is clear: We want Cantha at all costs. We are ready to do anything to obtain it: when we will reach your offices with a giant luxon turtle upgraded with a cannon…i’m sure you will introduce cantha. And..do not listen Ncsoft :V (yes yes..i know that you must listen them). But you are great artists, you loved cantha and cantha was one of your best work..you must be proud of what you have created, and you have the possibility to see that “your best work” in a new and Amazing look. Please do not forget the emotions that it gave and that it could give again…to you..and to us. (sorry for my english).
