Guild Wars 2

I’m in for 67. See you on the beach!

I’ll take #33 for Arrk please

Malthurius.6870:

I feel like this has happened with another MMO before; but when devs are so transparent that all their ideas are laid out before the community, the community goes absolutely nuts when only 1 of those ideas goes through, and the mere mention of those ideas becomes a ‘promise’. It’s crazy.

This is what exactly has never happened to WoW. Okay, some were sad sometimes. Still, the devs communicated any chnages LONG AGO before they took place. All the beta stuff was available world-wide long before it was carried to LIVE. The Dev team spoke to and listened the community all the time. When the community didn’t feel good about a thing or two, these things were changed rightaway. All of them. Now, that’s a game. Still, I can’t play WoW as it’s too outdated in the Engine terms.

The buggest example proving that ANet is wrong with their communication to the community base is that upone the release, no one (apart for the alpha players) knew how to create a Legendary weapon. They figured this out and bought off all of the starting precursors upon release. ANet didnt chage the formulas, didnt do anything anything about this. They just gave some big wealth to thier friends and some random alpha players. And no, when something like that hit GW1 market, whole game was rolled backed. To many accounts were banned as well.

What happens now? ANet doesnt care. Pls throw in some more cash shop items so the ppl would buy them.

same here. game forced me to log out, and brought up some error right in the place where i was about to click my mouse. then it crashed and won’t allow me to log into :S

I read through some posts here and wanted to explain something. My statement is: ANet is truly insane. But in a good way.

1) Just check Blizzard’s way to get Honored with the Bloodsail Buccaneers, and amounts of cash required for getting old-school Insane in the Membrane (i do have it in WoW), and you will see that ANet takes legendaries way more casually.

2) Obsidian armor is nothing close to GW2 legendaries. Ectos/Shards are still hard to farm, but through regular gameplay you get around 15k/hour just questing/doing missions. It can go up to ~50k/hour if you’re running dungeons (which are still as hard as upon initial release), thus you can easily buy the mats in the mater of days. Personally, it took me 2 weeks to get my second Obsi this summer playing casually 2h/day as I deleted the char with my first Obsi before HoM release.

3) You must all say THANK YOU to ANet that they didn’t make your have anything to do with sPvPs title for getting legendaries, especially something around r15. “You would need to win 2,509 times consecutively to gain the 100,000 fame needed to max this title. This would take over 500 hours of holding Halls.” (wiki) If they made have something like this along the mats, we woldn’t see any legendaries for the following 5 years (the number of years since the HA release there was no one with the max HA rank).

P.S. I won’t try to make this post understandble for non-GW1 players as I will never treat those as human beings. I truly don’t understand people not wanting to try out GW1 for any reasons, as it’s truly superior to any other game, online or not, out there.

Cheers,
Arrk.
