Guild Wars 2

The problem is, as I stated in my original post, the Endgame doesn’t provide enough reward to keep me (Or the rest of my guild for that matter) interested in playing. We did 3 explorable modes, and got bored with the amount of bugs and one shotting trash, all for what? To do it again and get a piece of armour that looks different. It really gives me no motivation to play the game, which is such a shame because the game has SO much potential, and I truly believed it was the best game ever until I hit level 80 and farmed BiS gear in a week :/

And yes, you are right, at max level you want to be challeneged, you want the feeling of working on a boss for so long and then finally downing it…but you also want the feeling that you accomplish something from doing it, which there currently seems to be none, unless you are wildly in love with one of the dungeon armour sets :/

Hey, I’m not greatly active on this forum, so my apologies if this subject has already been covered/there are plans to do this, but I just thought it as a way to keep players like myself interested in the game, if there are indeed no intentions of providing a classic MMO-style endgame.

The idea is basic, just set up ladders or rankings for say, arena PvP (2v2, 3v3, etc.), dungeons quickest time to complete, WvW, sPvP, whatever! And add rewards such as unique weapon designs or titles, just to add a sense of accomplishment to the game, which from my perspective is what lacks the most at the moment (I see no reason to do dungeons or PvP due to lack of reward. I don’t consider appearance changing items as a reward as I have little interest in cosmetic apparel, as I’m sure a lot of other players agree).

And forgive me again, as it is possibly the most mentioned complaint, but the best way to keep people interested would be to include a classic MMO endgame, in my own personal opinion.

Thanks for reading, and my apologies once more if some of these have been all over the forums recently, or they are already/being implemented.

Hey so the problem I’m finding, and pretty much everyone I know on the game, is the dungeons hold no reason to be completed other than cosmetic apparel (Which I and many other have no interest in at all) and for an achievement. I would LOVE to do these dungeons, if there was a nice reward like upgraded gear and what not. But I have full exotics, so where is the reason to run through these dungeons to acquires blues for myself?

It’s pretty much the only reason why I’m getting so terribly bored with the game, even though the PvP is SO well designed and balanced :/

On another note then, does changing my home server mess up anything like with my guild for example?

Well one of my friend managed to get on my server, none overflow, from a different server :/

Hey I was just wondering how I can visit my friend on his server without affecting anything on my current server? One of my other friends did it but I never asked him how :/ I believe it’s called guesting?

Hey, don’t know if this is the same on other servers, but there is a bugged escort quest in Timberline Falls where the NPC’s won’t move, meaning the gate to the skill point and PoI will not open. It has been like this for weeks.

This is on the server Aurora Glade, not sure if it is the same on other servers. (I know the NPC’s are dead in the screenie, they have been revived many many times over the weeks and will not moves)

Just got that this afternoon. Thoughts? Real or fake? Did he have my details? If so, how? Plan of action?

Thanks for reading.

OP is an MMO locust. Sadly for you there are only sandboxes (nothing good out there right now before ArcheAge comes) and/or waiting for the next themepark. MoP is out on the 25th, should keep you grinding for another 2 weeks at least.

I fail to understand the MMO locust. Also I’m not playing WoW, I’ve done my time with that game. The only other MMO I’ve played is SW:TOR which I got to level 15 on and got bored. (I don’t count GW1 as an MMO, it’s a co-op RPG with a lobby, and PvP on the side…yet still a very good game that kept me entertained for a long time)

Well you say you don’t care for cosmetic upgrades.. or PvP.. which does indeed leave you in a rut.

I do enjoy PvP :P It’s one of the main reasons I think this game is so good, it’s just that I do also like PvE for when I get bored of PvP

You know you can join them on their server as a guest from your own server right? (Don’t ask me how, my mate joined us from his server while we were questing)

I really do hope Mariah is correct and they are just waiting for the masses to get on par. And yes I am enjoying pretty much one-shotting people in WvW, it’s quite entertaining

Unfortunately I made the mistake of rushing to level 80, though I immersed myself in the story line, my main goal was always to level as quickly as possible, which has now back-fired :/

Also I am trying other characters, it’s just a little dull doing it over again, but still fun to be trying out the other classes (I eventually want all classes maxed out like I’ve done on WoW)

I think I’m just going to have to make the most of WvW and perhaps work on some of the harder achievements, and maybe the legendary, though that does seems like a ridiculous grind fest :/

Thanks for the input so far guys.

What’s so good about Dagger/Dagger? I’ve heard people mention it a lot, but i never saw the appeal :/

Yeah I know that feel bro, I’m gonna get down to trying sPvP, I just don’t find it as interesting as WvW.

Sup, so I love this game, I really really do. The problem is as many people have already stated, I just don’t know what to do now, I’m pretty much full exotic geared, I care not for cosmetic apparel, I’ve almost got 100 world completion and only have some of the explorable mode dungeons left.

After I’ve done these dungeons and finished up on the few bits for 100% completion, what else is there for me to do other that WvW and sPvP?

Thanks for reading.

So I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about ele’s being bad dps, weak, squishy, etc. And though I do agree with the squishy part, we are by no means weak. I personally believe we have the best burst in the game.

For PvP the way i go about it is to embrace our glass cannon capabilities, and go full berserker gear (Power, Precision, Crit damage) with a scepter and dagger.

Air attunement is generally the main attunement I’m in and pretty much open with a ride the lightning, into a lighting strike, arcane blast and arcane wave all at the same time. This should either kill that straight off (Lower geared WvW players) or put them at like 30-50% hp, so you go into an updraft to knock them back and INSTANTLY switch to fire spec and dragons tooth with a phoenix thingy (3), running up to them with a fire blast just incase. My other ability is Mist form for those oh kitten moments when a warrior throws his bolas at you, and the hounds of balthazar as my elite (They hit for a hellovalot). Though if you don’t have hounds then whack on the elemental

If there are still more people i just switch back to air and start lightning stiking, blinding, arcane blasting, etc. (Also i take the Superior Sigil of Air in the scepter…it’s quite powerful, especially with the crit spam from our channelled lightning spell

Most of my PvPing consists of running around with my Mesmer friend in WvW finding small groups of people to fight, or hanging around their spawn, and we find we can easily take on 3 or so 80’s or 5-6 scaled players

I realise this isn’t really an in-depth overview, it’s just me sharing my tactic for 1v1’s or 1v2-3’s, and I hope it helped at least a little.

(Just a little plea, PLEASE give elementalists something to stall people downing us…we have a root thing that works on one person, just doesn’t stop them downing us, and a mist form that takes like 10 seconds to come off CD when we get downed :‘( It’s quite harsh)

The staff is the way to go. It was very easy to quest/do my story, whatever, with a staff. Just stick yourself in fire attunement, open with a 2, pop a 3 then auto attack. The fireball auto attack iskittenpowerful (Crits for 2.1k~ for me at level 80, which is a lot more than most other classes auto attack)

Ok so here are a list of some bugs I can remember so far:

The south west skill point in Straights of Devastation is bugged (At least it is on Aurora Glade). It just stands there and doesn’t interact with anyone/anything.

Elementalists Ride the Lightning ability only works like 50% of the time. The other half it either stays where you were, flies up to the enemy but doesn’t hit them (Even if they don’t avoid) or goes in the wrong direction if they start moving elsewhere.

The Elementalist main attack with a scepter in the main hand (The channelled one which I can’t remember the name of) carries on channeling after the target has died, either leaving a huge trail of lightning between you and the dead target, or just making you hold lightning in your hands.

The master tools choose what they want to gather? One set of my master pickaxes can’t mine mithril, yet the other can…

Both me and a guildie got a GW2.exe error on the cinematic just before the Zhaitan fight.

Don’t know if this is a bug, but there is some annoying input lag, where it takes half/quarter of a second to respond to movement.

The camera can go through the air ships in the Arah dungeon.

(Just adding a little whine here, PLEASE remove the downed state from PvP :P thank you)

These are all I can think of off the top of my head, they most likely have been reported before, but meh, not gonna search for every single one.
