Guild Wars 2

Ummmmm some of those are open right now in GW1 for you to play till your hearts content or at least until Monday.

Being able to see GW1 with GW2’s engine was why most GW1 vets played GW2 in the first place, only to be disappointed at all the changes. Solid Ocean fractal blew my mind after seeing all that jade leftover. THE JADE SEA. As glorious as I imagined it to be playing GW1! If they remade elite areas from GW1 in GW2 my faith in Anet will have returned.

It’s funny how people are being FORCED to join LFGs for Swamp or Molten Boss. Oh wait, they’re not. These problems existed WAAAYYY before the Fractal overhaul. I remember personally exploiting Molten Boss as Engie back in the day. We’re in a better state to farm fractals for relics, which will help people transition from +5 infusions to +7, or obsidian shards and fractal potions for higher levels.

It’s cool if you guys want to spend two hours doing random fractals like we used to back when fractals were randomized, but do that on your own time and leave the farmers out of this.

And I want to repeat this: Absolutely no one’s forcing you to join LFGs for Swamp or Molten Boss.

“But no one wants to join my obscure fractal because Swamp and Molten Boss are faster”
“But no one wants to carry me through Cliffside or Fire Shaman so I can get my vet/master chest for skins”

Reminder that people only did dungeons because it was the most profitable, now look where it stands now. Changing the only reason people do fractals in the first place, months after it was updated, would return it to being a desolate just as it was pre-dungoen nerf.

Lol this game just wants to be different SOOOO bad. Notice how there isn’t a single straight white male in Destiny’s Edge 2.0. Anet really just wants to push an agenda to a small minority to look progressive, and make us seem like we’re the bad guys for not supporting it. I wouldn’t even be bothered by this if my only reply Symon wasn’t “YOU’RE SO BRAVE!!!”

$100 for something you know nothing about. There are people robbing and stealing from others for the money to feed their families. Weird world.

Hahaha I love this argument. “You’ve already played all the old content – why do you care what new players do?” It’s not as if the game had its many flaws and the loyal fans stuck by them through its entirety. Allowing them to create an expansion in the first place. It’s not as if we had to live on scraps playing the same content over and over again while their main concern was pushing out gemstore updates. And to show their appreciation Anet just says “Cool, thanks for the support, guys. We’re going to give you stuff that should’ve been in the game to begin with – along with a new class and a zone with like 5 maps after almost 3 years all for a bargain of $50!”

Are you people serious? No one needs to get banned.
1:) Unlink all GW1 accounts
2:) Remove HoM reward skins, titles, and allow you to change to something else (the same way you can select stats or what kind of weapon you receive from chests, but with skins. They can also just revert the weapon back to its original form and comp us with transmutation stones to get the original skins we had) while they fix the issue
3:) Reduce the achievement points for the players who weren’t eligible for them until they can link their GW1 account and prove they got the points legit and disable players who relink their GW1 accounts from earning additional points if they unlocked the achievement already. Or just reset everyone’s HoM points back the appropriate number and anyone who relinks their account gets the points back.
4:) Disable the next achievement reward milestone for players who already received them due to the bump.

Nothing can be done about the gems, gold, and laurels though.

Lol is AngryJoe going to beg for a review copy of the demo before everyone else, like he does with every game he reviews? You could follow http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/wiki/returningplayers though if you really want some quick informaiton.

This would be a cool addition. I unblock a lot of people after a few days because I’m afraid I’ll run into them on another dungeon and will be unable to see if they’re still trash talking…

Anyone know if there are going to be any updated changes to the meta? I main Engineer and I heard Grouch kinda hinted it in his stream when he was playing Pistol/Pistol engi that changes might be coming. A lot of my PvP friends are trying to learn Pistol/Pistol/Elixir because of it.

I know rumors are rumors, but with cele rifle as OP as it is, and since PvP and PvE skills aren’t split like it is in GW1 this will affect me in PvE as well. The armor itself isn’t being affected, but my stats would kinda have to buff my main weapon, the rifle.

I’m about to craft my first set of ascended armor and I don’t want to have all that I’ve made go to waste because of some future updates. With time gating as bad as it is it’s going to be a pain having to get all the laurels, get the gold, and wait day after day to craft new ascended materials over again. I know I can just roll zojja zerker to be safe, but my build would do better with assassins right now.

Some will just say play how you want to play, but I do a lot of dungeon SCs with my guild and they really don’t want my engineer as it is when other classes can out perform it.

If anything, do you think they are going to make any changes to Engi soon?

Nah. Just buy gems and convert them to gold to get them, like they want everyone to do.

Why? The idea was a reward for basically transferring from GW into GW2. Since they’re entirely based on playing GW it doesn’t make sense to add more.

They definitely have better things to do.

The way it was promoted though. Look at all these rewards you’ll get once you reach this goal! M-M-M-M-M-MONSTER KILL! Seriously, you crazy! It’s a whole new world, finish it with a bang! Then when GW2 was released it effectively destroyed the GW1 community. Now all that is left are really bad skins.

It also bothers me how the HoM rewards are garbage, yet Tormented/Chaos/Zodiac weapons through Black Lion Chests were actually planned out and sold. Like, they’re only going to make throwbacks skins from GW1 if they can make a profit. Where’s the love for those who’ve kept playing since the first game?

So are they ever going to update the rewards/skins on the Hall of Monuments? Or was the accumulation of my 6 years playing GW1 entirely just for the Flaming Dragon Sword skin?

I know that the items shouldn’t be too fancy because it would alienate a lot of people who haven’t played the first game, but I’ve only ever seen people use the Flaming Dragon Sword skin or those fiery gloves.

They call it heritage armor. I feel like Obsidian Armor/Chaos Gloves is my heritage.

Yes, I do want a Season 3.

Why?! There is nothing to do in the game besides farming skins!

This game is just horrible now! Why? Because there is not much of a game left here! And LS is not helping.

No it isn’t. Why bother to even post this garbage? Go back to wow.

I feel the same way he does, and you know what? I just purchased a subscription to WoW. Do you know how incredibly satisfying it is going around doing mundane fetch quests than it is to do hearts? The quests given at least have some back story as to why you’re doing it instead of just “kill golems so the Inquest can stop ruining Orr with Skritt technology”

I’ve hit 1,000 dungeons done on my hobby dungoneer. It took me that long to realize that this game was one huge grindfest for skins. Even making legendary weapons, weapons that are supposed to a LEGENDARY feat, can be bought with cash and aren’t anything special but rather a legendary grindfest.

Living Story is a lot of wasted time to stretch bad content. And with this in mind Anet has the guts to charge 200 gems if we’ve missed a part of this bad story.

How is it two years since release and we’re only now getting into the idea of killing another dragon? If they value the gemshop over actual content then why not use their resources to make a full expansion?

I don’t care if it’s season 3 or a new expansion I just want more content, not gemstore items, not achievements. They can even take the easy road and implement hard mode like they did in GW1 to reuse old content, I don’t care, just give me something to do other than dungeons every. single. day.

Don’t get me started on the kitten-kitten knobs that leave the FotM once they get their daily chest. If you’re going to do a FotM daily, at least make them finish the freaking run before they just dash off.

How do they get their daily fractal chest without ending the run? Are you not talking about the daily end boss fractal chest?

You only need to complete a single fractal to finish the fractal daily, not the daily chest bonus you receive after finishing 3-4 paths. So people get the chest and leave after the first fractal. Well more appropriately, people get CARRIED, get the chest, then leave.

What do you mean daily quest? I thought there was already a daily for completing quests. Or do you mean specific quests that we could do, like Zaishen/Vanquish bounties from GW1. I wouldn’t mind something like that. Also, I was thinking earlier about how daily content could be profession specific. Engineer explode x amount of turrets, Eles use x amount of conjures. That would be cool too.
