Guild Wars 2

In many mmos that I play I get the short end. Ex: in wow im always the last of my friends to get epic gear from a dungeon because of bad luck drops. But this game takes it to a whole other level of crappy drops. It took me 6 months or farming dungeons, champ trains, world bosses, guild missions, and some fractals to get my first exotic drop. 6 months and I get an exotic that sells for 1 gold at best. I remember the first few weeks of the game people could farm gold in dungeons or out in the world if they were u to the grind. Now you need to grind to just get some silver.

I can’t find anything fun to do in this game anymore. I played too much wvw and pvp that it becomes boring just looking under the tabs when joining. The living story events are a joke, I stopped doing my personal story as soon as Trahearne came into the picture (not a personal story after this guy hijacks your story).

So what keeps you guys playing the game?

Astral Projections.7320:

You can’t show pics from preview for each one? Kinda hard to judge unless you just want people to flip a coin.

Oh no not me I was asking if anyone has chosen a Charr to use the gas mask on that they would like to share a pic.

So I decided that today I’ll try for the gas mask and finally got the remaining 6 events needed for it. Since you only get 1 gas mask per account (thanks ANet) I can’t decided which character gets it. Only looking to choose between 3 of my toons, charr necro, charr warrior, or human guardian. Help me decide. If any of you have chosen any of these can you post pics?

Charr Warrior ^.^

My Necro, only pic I found for now since game is down

Does anyone know why the moba game didn’t come back this year? Instead we got this boring minigame. Guessing it was because the ANet employees were proud of a game they created and wanted to force it on us in order to get the achievement.

At first I thought this might be fun, a game of cat and mouse, hide and seek. Then came in the mad king commands at full blast with no cooldown. I either do the command and wait 3 seconds for it to complete or get knocked down for a second and take lots of damage. Either way as soon as that player uses a command it’s game over.
Then there’s a bug that allows the shout to perma stun villagers. Don’t know how it’s used but had it happen to me many times today.
Best thing to do in this map is head over to the center of the map and throw yourself to death as a villager.

I have the outfit on my Charr so I’m not sure if this bug is on all races but when you get defeated in a costume brawl as a Charr the outfit starts throwing pixels everywhere. It no longer looks like the mad king but instead a bunch of yellow squares pulsing outward. Please fix this as it’s something that cost almost 10 dollars to only make you freeze.

It’s funny to see some JQ players posting here with their QQ rage comments. I never said ANet gives them special powers, all I said was “The biggest problem that I have with this is ANets home server JQ…JQ players were able to flawlessly land their attacks and abilities.” Like other people say some servers are able to move and attack freely even with the lag. Your fault if you assumed something else, and suspicious how aggressively you are defending yourselves -_-

My DS sometimes didn’t even go down, walked around as a black cloud for a few minutes then out of nowhere 17k DS and 28.8k HP just went down and died instantly.

But still no sign of that thread of ANet addressing this issue. Maybe it was posted on another site if anyone has links?

Major battle taking place in BG BL right inside the garrison. All 3 servers are there, inc JQ and SoR, and a fight has been going on now for about 3 hours now I think. Not even auto attack goes off. Tried to use minions thinking they can attack on their own, those things can’t even walk down the stairs correctly with the lag. Tried to finish downed players and it took around 10 tries for it to actually work.

The biggest problem that I have with this is ANets home server JQ. While I did see SoR players and BG players lagging like hell (you can tell from them just running around doing nothing) JQ players were able to flawlessly land their attacks and abilities. Ex: Hammer warriors had no problem stunning everything and chaining their attacks.

There’s word of ANet addressing this problem but I found nothing. Will there be a fix in the near future?

Please ANet can you put in an option to reduce the view distance. I don’t want to load the big floating cloud miles away that serves no purpose. I really dont care much for the mountains that I will never reach. This should help many people that don’t have high end PCs.

Add in an option to completely take off weather effects. In WvW its bad enough there are hundreds of spells flying all over the place but I also have to load all the small snow particles.

Buff Rifle on warrior! Getting tired and bored with the only good ranged weapon, the LB. LB has so much to offer such as blind, immobilize, burn, bleed, combo field, and combo finisher. Rifle I can count bleed, cripple, and vulnerability. Would be nice to see Rifle get some love in the near future (only 2 classes can use Rifle and for 1 its so horrible it rarely sees play).

Add another type of stability. Stability is great against classes with the physical effects but what about another type of skill that stops things such as bleeds, poisons, blind, torment, confusion, etc. for a few seconds.

Not sure if underwater play is what people want but how about instead of those capture points in wvw add in an underwater small capture castle/tower, I know many people or the majority of people hate this new idea that was put in and I myself do not like it as well. You have to go out of your way to capture them and they offer no rewards for doing so.

Supreme.7352:

Rifle is good for PvE when melee isn’t an option.

Otherwise Longbow is more a WvW weapon.

I like my rifle because it’s on my charr and it’s a charrzooka. That’s why I use it.

Same reason I try to force myself to use a rifle. That and the lore of the Charr makes it perfect for me to carry a rifle around. This should come to the attention of the devs in the near future. Rifles do have great designs and I would like for Warrior to have another viable build besides LB.

I guess I can always just use it in LA and shoot randomly to hear the nice effects it has. This should be brought to ANets attention. A weapon that only 2 classes can use and its broken/useless for one of those classes.

Yeah I noticed it looks good in my inventory as well. Trying to make it work with my condition/high crit s/s build but it just doesn’t work for me. I am usually blinded by many classes or there is a thief/mesmer with 50 stealths avoiding all my shots.

I don’t listen/read the podcasts that ANet does nor do I really care for it since what they talk about and balance around is not wvw or pve but spvp and such (this is from all the threads I read from many forums channels). But have they ever mentioned anything about warrior rifle?

Yes I know LB is awesome with many builds. Has burning, bleeds, aoe, blindness, and immobolize. But everyone uses it and I’m tired of it as well.
I do love the rifle, love the sound of the empty shells hitting the ground but it doesn’t seem to see much use. Is there ever going to be a buff/rework for this weapon? Do any of you use it differently than others that really makes a difference? I would really like to use the rifle more on my warrior. Have 2 armor sets so far, condi/prec for dual sword build and a tanky armor set. Traits I change very often to glass cannon, shouts, shield/physical and others. But would like to know how those of you building for Rifle have made it work?

Another thing they can do that allows players to enjoy more of the game with less gfx or cpu power needed is to completely take off weather effects as well as be able to significantly reduce view distance. Yes we get it Anet you are very proud of your game but you don’t have to force us to view stupid long distances. I bet 90% of all players don’t leave the camera looking at the sky as they are running from point A to point B.

You call that bad loot/luck? lol Been playing since beta, so far only 2 lvl 80s because this game doesn’t pull me in to level anything else but with these 2 I do any boss event, champ trains, and wvw that I have time for and thats a few hours each day. After 12 months I am happy to say I got my very first exotic drop just a few days ago and it sells for 2gold ^.^

Is it just me or should people who guest over to your server get dropped to the overflow for an event. Let the inhabitants of the server get into the main group and others guesting should wait. At one point I saw at least half the people akitten that jumping mechanism while the rest of us tried to fail.

I know there has been many posts made about the camera but we gotta keep pushing this until we get it. I think its about time that ANet added first person view. Not only is it annoying to not see over your character sometimes but also when tying to view a certain weapon or armor. Another reason for this is because of the jumping puzzles, sometimes you need to zoom in to see the ledges you have to hit to land on otherwise it’s death by falling.

On another note that would greatly benefit everyone for jumping puzzles or events that hold these is to add a skill point for jumping puzzles. I know as a Charr some of these puzzles are just so frustrating and it makes it for other players as well (just like in the mad king tower of Halloween). This skill would be for non combat and would make all characters into a small creature to reduce size for jumping puzzles.

I see, so I guess I’ll just have to get both to 80 seeing as how Warrior is mostly used for dungeon runs and Necromancer for PvP. Seeing as how I am broke in game it should be Warrior first for the gold farm/dungeons. Unless anyone knows how a Necro is able to farm faster than a Warrior.

Been stuck with this decision on which to level up first. Have both at lvl 42, but my main question is, which is best to get to 80 first? Necromancer or Warrior? I am aiming to play both PvE and PvP and want to know which of the two will most likely do better and have a higher chance of being invited in those 2 categories?

Recently got back into the game and now my necro is lvl 40. Half way done with the leveling process but then I ask myself will it be worth leveling it all the way?

My question is, is it worth it? I see threads where Necros have no chance to get into groups for dungeons. Not sure how it is for PvP, I see threads talking about classes that are far better suited for it that compete for spots. Should I stick leveling up the Necro class or continue with other characters I have already (lvl 40 warrior, 32 guardian, and just started a ele). Or are the dark days for the necro part of the past and they are seeing a brighter future?

Necros still suck. Not much has improved on them just a few bug fixes but the major issues still haven’t been fixed

My first character that I used during the betas was a Necromancer, my first character that I made during launch was a Necro. I didn’t play past lvl 10 or 15 in the beta due to me not wanting to get spoiled before game launch so I didn’t see the problems that I do today on my Necro that is almost level 40. At this time I feel so weak, against regular mobs it takes a while to kill them.

Please re-ignite my love for Necromancers. I really want to play them but all these posts are negative and just made me rage quit the class until the bug fixes. But even after they get fixed I feel this mentality will continue.

I do plan to PvE as well as PvP.

I’m sure that there are many threads about Guardians not having a long range weapon for dps but I’m here to say my opinion of which weapon can be added to the Guardians list of weapon skills. One weapon that can only be used by 2 others which is the rifle. The rifle in the game doesn’t get used as much and now ANet has a chance to give Guardians a new long ranged weapon as well as give the rifle more use in the game. Give a class that has so little ranged rifle skills plz.

I’m a Norn Guardian and am now in my quest line to join a faction between Whispers, Vigil, or Priory. I can choose to join the Vigil or Priory but I don’t have the option to join the Order OF Whispers. Anyone else have this problem before and know how to fix it?

The styles are good for the small amounts there are but one style that I noticed would make a great addition would be a mobster style. This idea come after noticing some other games that have implemented this idea and those costumes look great. Me ad some friends have created a guild out of love of mobster films such as The Goodfellas, The Godfather, and so on and would like to see if a mobster style will ever be considered.
