Yeah, I have noticed they don’t really take steps to calm or explain to the player base why they do things. Also I have suffered the same issues as you when the take down TP.
Also DR hits more quickly upon Warrior/Guardians due to he nature of their attack’s. If your dual wielding as a Warrior or Using a Greatsword’s as either or, you will hit DR rather quickly in a Defend event were they throw trash mobs in vast numbers with a few vets.
Yeah, I wanted to bring to light the fact that instead of addressing our concerns they just shut down our posts, the posts that voice our questions and concerns and tell us to basically “Shut Up, we don’t care.” The response they give you when they close a thread is thought up by some lawyer somewhere and isn’t personal it makes you feel like some robot came along and B-slapped you upside the face.
I was informed that my open letter to the devs was not aloud on the communities threads. This is in stark contradictions to their “We want this to be an open community”. To be open you must also allow for some angered responses. A games devs must listen to their players, as of late it seems they are not.
I want to know what you think of the actions Anet is taking as of late. Should they just close threads and cover up the feelings of an entire community so their feel bads don’t feel bad?
I have noticed trolls come through the varying topics about the same thing, I wonder how long till they join the majority of the players. I think if A-net took the time to visit each servers Cursed Shore they would cower in fear of the Rage that can be felt in map. I swear after that whole patch my servers players helpful nature has been replaced with cynical rage…
What is most amusing is that they promised not but two years ago and throughout the beta process that this game would be “Grind Free”. Not only is the game a Grind fest, they insist on punishing us for taking part in the grind that they created. Honestly they need to make up their minds. I’m a student and when I’m done with my lectures and labs and studying in the various libraries I come back to my dorm and I log in and play. I already have limited time so why punish me if I decide to run around Cursed Shore and do defend events. I even threw my hard earned gold into getting Vigil Armor and Pirate sigils as well as opals to make gear for the sole purpose of getting Rares which I break down for my own use.
Even with this whole annoying idea they had for stopping “Botting” I’m gonna still drop money to expand my account bank. Maybe one more character slot. Also once they have decent looking Town Clothes I’ll buy that. Also capes..bring back capes.
Honestly Cultural Armor is really not worth it, especially Tier 3, and Faction Armor is also not worth it. Buy lvl 76 Exotics and you have better stats. If you feel like throwing your money away like I decided buy Faction its cheaper and you can throw on Pirate Sigil and Opal your accessories. grats its turned it into farming gear
I’ll probably join you, endgame is just sad. I jumped on Tarnished Coast but its all Tavern Rp’s and everyone takes themselves way to seriously. Even if they type utter garbage. Playing a homeless drunk in LA now THAT’S living. I often take a break from the grind to preform this in LA overflow to the enjoyment and annoyance of many.
My day when back from school or work would be put on my headsets, turn on some music and run around Cursed Shore, hit up all the defends and help retake places/temples. I wasn’t pleased with 252K in Karma for the set I wanted but I enjoyed it none the less. I would chat in map or in guild or in TS or Skype with friends generally having fun.
Then this patch happened, I didn’t care about Arah, or even CoF but thekittenDE and Item Drops wall they put in cut into my earning as well as progression. It’s like your jogging and someone throws mud in your eyes as you pass them. The whole Endgame is a gold sink and unlike most people I wasn’t TP what I got, I npc up to green and broke down Rares. I think its funny you talk of fundamentals when they clearly stated in the Manifesto and throughout development that the game would be “No Boring Grind”
I have hit the DE wall but I didn’t ride it out to see how low I can go, I was farming Orr’s Cursed Shores, wp when needed. After I would say an hour I instantly went from making a little over 370 something with Karma boosts I hit 200flat. I realized I hit the wall and zoned. I also have my gear set to farming items, with over 100% magic find I also hit the drop wall, and started not getting anything or getting junk.
I tend to just enjoy my music and run around the map and getting smacked down by the hand of god is really frustrating. I don’t know how low you can go but I imagine its probably zero anything.
You should be earning a hundred more unless your in low level area. I wasn’t telling him the game was out to get him, just the devs. But I will say this, I enjoy the game, I enjoy chatting with friends and running around doing DE but the goldsinks for endgame are freaking nuts.
Which is funny if you watch the Guild Wars 2 Manifesto they clearly state they didn’t want this game to be a grind and yet they have turned it into a horrible uphill fight for everyone, hardcore or casual once you hit 80 you are boned.
This is a good example of why a large portion of people are raging. If you do x amount of DE’s quickly enough even if you are not farming it slaps you like that. For those who in the end have to farm Karma this is annoying even with changing maps. Just note when you get to 80 all the ways to make bank are gone, you sir are gonna bleed money.
x.x" I haven’t had something this horrible happen, mainly cause I’m not in a guild capable of running anything I wanna run, its all CM for them and I want Arah.
But I did have a painful story mission, which happened to be Arah, our leader crashed while we were on the second part of the story, he was placed back in the start and told to gather parts while we all were on the airship. He left, another guy left and it was me and two randoms. Needless to say we finished the dungeon out of sheer rage induced, “We gonna win or flip a table”
I didn’t start Farming or anything along the lines of Grinding until 80, up till then I walked around and explored maps, even if no events were around a ruin I would go check it out for sake of saying I found something interesting. I figured when I hit 80 I could do a grind, but it wouldn’t be an uphill battle with the game and with devs, who promised us a game that wasn’t a grind. I think that many people haven’t seen the guild wars 2 manifesto video, they stated they didn’t want grinds and yet they made this game a grind fest.
Oh, I don’t run pugs often I am not the type to ask in map to run anything. I also don’t think I should be rewarded instantly. I always tell my friends, its always more satisfying if it takes you a long time. My point was that this is still true, but it seems they punish those of us who are working at the climb by stepping on our fingers on the way up. I have no doubt I will get “Elite” gear. I’m almost done with my Karma set, I’m getting it just to be properly kitted for Arah. I also am shopping around for a competent guild on my server.
I think “Artorous” and a few others think me the fool. I am not I just can’t fathom why they would punish people for farming Karma when the point of events is to farm basically. I’m more voicing my concern that this might kill off the “casual” crowd who see epic gear and only see a massive spike wall.
This wasn’t me crying, if you read my post you would see that I am fond of the ‘grind’. But Anet isn’t very fond of the grind and yet they make it as such. I am just saying that they as a developer can’t make up their mind. They want us to grind, then when we grind they punish us for doing it.
I couldn’t care if it was hard or not, I am the type of person who will run the gauntlet cause I can. I just can’t stand them slapping us across the face for playing the game.
Yeah, WoW came from a dark place. Just getting annoyed with what they call “Anti Botting” measures. The whole “Endgame” is a long long grind and their actions are making it even longer and more annoying for people who rather just have fun then run around like mindless zombies raging at the uphill battle to the “EPIC”!!!
I love your game, I couldn’t stop playing it once I got my hands on it. This game is probably one of the top games I have ever played in a long time. I love the dedication to detail that you should rightfully take pride in. This game seriously is fun and I can’t tell you enough how many hours go by without me noticing when I get home.
That said, why are you punishing us. The biggest fault in your game would have to be your dungeons. They have some compelling stories in “story mode” but your explore mode is horrible and incredibly hard for random groups. I for one enjoy the added skill it takes to properly run them, that said why must you make the gear take on average just for CoF 92+runs and that was when you could speed run it. Then you have your “Endgame” Karma Armor, now I see why you would make it so expensive but why punish us for farming Karma. You say its to counter bots but the ones who suffer are us the players not the bots.
I would suggest a few things, make your dungeon sets cost less or give us more tokens per chest. As for your Karma take the Nerf off, this doesn’t encourage me to go play low level events makes me wanna hop on WoW or LoL.
Please don’t flame, respond and tell Anet your own concerns. Their actions as of late are really starting to tick off the ‘Endgame’ crowd who already notice the lack of an ‘endgame’ so why punish us?
Yeah, I’m not sure whats up. I was mid event and game gave me an error. Now I try logging it say’s my firewall or router is the issue when I know its not. Guess we should just wait, they might be having issues with the log in servers again or the servers in general. Gotta wait for the tech monkeys to throw the on switch.
Like the title say’s I’m looking for an rp guild on Henge of Denravi, only because most of my irl friends are here though they don’t rp. So I am alone and when I get bored, would be nice just to dork around and rp. Also any guild that is casual PVE, friendly would also be considered. >.<"
