Guild Wars 2

We get it… multiple threads the comments are the same, “it will change your living story.” Okay, then make the race change have you start your living story over.. or in HoT make it “Auto-fill” that you’ve completed the living story for your new race. Theses are just two ideas and there are plenty of workarounds other than (make a new character) why would anyone want to re-grind everything and lose their current items/transmutations etc.

I say this because I made a Charr necro and compared to every other race.. I HATE the attack animation and the fact you barely see the scythe animation when you attack(unlike humans who hold the staff upright) people have own their reasons for wanting to change. Arenanet would make an insane amount of money if they allowed race changes and its a simple implementation unless you over think it. Introducing HoT is the perfect time because its almost a fresh start. Being a F2P 1 time pay game, they need to realize the amount of revenue that they could earn from a relatively simple concept..

Don’t get lost in the clouds with “well, what about the living story etc” people who want the race change don’t care if they lose their living story or have to start it all over, the big of an issue is that they just want a new class and are willing to pay good money for it without losing everything else they’ve spent months/years to gain.

Okay, In all honesty I can see where you are coming from Anet.. but please listen.. I have been a guild wars player since gw1 and now moved to gw2. I also played wow and the time needed for items and farming was literally insane and that was the main reason I quit.. not because of the monthly fee I make enough money.. I don’t care. If making gold off gems from people who don’t want to put in 100s of hours is the fix for these new items and armors then you are truly mistaken and need to rethink the path you are choosing because you will lose a large amount of people slowly that might not be throwing out cash like me( I’ve stopped at this point, Be proud of your designers and the weapons just because something is visually cool doesn’t mean many people shouldn’t have it or make it nearly impossible to reach) . Just looking at this thread and many others its sad to hear the concerns of your customers and yet you are only answering generic questions.. this is your business and future. When this game first came out and even when it was in beta you explained that this is for someone who can just “pick up an mmorpg” or people who have maybe never even liked mmo’s but they will like this. That was true at the start but seriously you are running way too ahead of yourselves with these patches and these requirements for items and events.. This is becoming the “new WoW” I hate to even say that in all honesty because it was and maybe could still be far from that.. but the way you are building things is honestly unexplainable and down right sad.. I can bet I speak for most people in this matter and If needed I will gladly start a new thread on this subject.. However, I hope whatever member reads this that you think about it and take the initiative to even make a comment of what is going on and the path you are going down. I will always be a loyal customer and player but at this rate it is hard to say if it will continue into the future, and I may be only one person but seriously.. I speak for a majority guaranteed. Regardless of the decision I hope you read it and at least bring it into consideration.

Okay after a few months and messing around with armor sets again here is my 2nd final set calling it “The Bone Collector” all sets are pretty easy to acquire!

Head: Cultural T3
Shoulders: Dry Bones Mantle(WvW)
Chest: Arah Dungeon Vest

Shoes: CoF Dungeon

Hello,

After having a group of 50+ people become severely frustrated with this event I decided something needed to be said. This event always bug’s and the NPC’s get stuck in multiple servers.. one of the biggest issues though is that the “Champion Risen Abomination” has a hit box range of about 1200 with a hammer.. I’m talking you can be on the opposite side of the room and he can be turned away from you and yet 1 hit you. This is no exaggeration and it really needs to be looked into! Its one of the big events that will get many people together in guild wars to complete which is awesome and what your goal was creating the game.. but not when its always bugged and the champion seriously needs to be reworked. I am a loyal GW2 customer and player who has played since gw1 was first out and I really enjoy the game. Please look into this issue its been going on for too long, there are bug logs for the event dated back 6 months.

Thank you for your time,

Brian
