Guild Wars 2

Contact support, you can get a refund.

Kinda surprised most think GW2 graphics are the best among MMOs. I played ESO and tbh it looks more sharp and detailed. But GW2 has the better map design and a more living world. In general GW2 lacks some nice features other pc games utilize. That could be mostly because GW2 operates on an old engine and only uses DX9. Performance is also really poor compared to the graphics. I think with some work GW2 could look and perform much better.

GrayFox.2601:

No, that is how it is supposed to work. It doesn’t. They have listed targeting fixes in multiple patches and, so far, none of them have actually fixed anything. I’ve had instances were tab targets nothing, despite enemies being all around and where the first target it picks is a neutral NPC 10 feet away when there is a champ standing in front of me. Trust me, it’s still broken.

Well, it’s working for me.

GrayFox.2601:

What’s your point? It’s still a bug. I’m also not investing in an SSD to fix it. Besides, it wasn’t always like this and they haven’t upgraded the graphics or changed places like Lion’s Arch enough to explain the increase in load times for the map and the UI. Why would reduced latency and access time fix a problem loading the exact same amount of data? It is much more likely due to increased server lag than anything local.

My point? I gave you the reason why it is how it is. It’s not a bug, just bad programming. They need to have a major overhaul to drastically minimize loading times. Some of the increased loading time might also be due to getting rid of culling. Turning down character model limit/quality might help a little. And an SSD loads huge data faster, too, that’s the most important point why it works better with one. I just gave you an option, I’m not forcing you to get one.

xarallei.4279:

Yeah, I do see them adding races long before them adding classes. Classes are more difficult to deal with because of balance issues.

I actually think a new race would require more work because they need to give them a home map+instance, personal story and a fitting model of all avaiable armor on top of the usual race modeling, background and voices.

@1: That’s actually how it’s working atm. you can cycle through enemys with tab. When you don’t have an enemy selected, hitting tab targets the nearest strongest one. The random deselecting might be due to having enabled “right-click to attack/interact” (with it on it deselects the target when moving the camera with right click).

@3: That’s cause of the outdated engine Guild Wars 2 uses. Having an SSD minimizes those problems, though. As they still didn’t implement the promised DirectX 10/11 support, I doubt they will have any major improvements on the engine any time soon.

@4: I never experienced that bug. Might be because of lag.

If you want something then almost always, by far the easiest way is to farm gold and buy off the TP.

Isn’t that the case for most MMORPGs?

We had one new jumping puzzle this year. Both the halloween and wintersday JP are reworks of the already existing ones from last year. They clearly don’t care much about jumping puzzles, so your point is completely invalid.

If you also count SAB which was made as an april fools joke, people actually enjoyed it so much they made more of it. So people seem to be interested in more jump & run action.

And the Not so Secret puzzle in Gendarran Fields.

That’s the one new JP we got…

Just curious, how do you get to the number pad during combat? Do you have like a third hand?

I’m having the utility skills bound to my mouse and some keys closer to ESDF (my movement keys, actually like them better than WASD) but still have the numbers as a second binding, so I’m fine with Bell Choir.

Didn’t work for me once, when we had to through snowballs at Skritts, but the other days it worked fine.

For not ruining wintersday like you did the halloween. Good job

I’ll second that.
(Only thing I really don’t like (without playing it yet) is the account bound on the back piece recipes and (assuming) mini Ho-Ho Tron)

Mini Ho-Ho-Tron is tradeable.

skullmount.1758:

Ping.5739:

got the recipe from giant wintersday box

Whats required to make the item? Also is the recipe account bound or can it be bought on the TP? (I’m hoping the recipes, and mini Ho-Ho Tron, can be bought on TP)

Both recipes are account bound and for lvl 500 Armorsmith/Leatherworker/Tailor. Don’t know the materials required to make them.

This was not getting to 50, it was actually beating 50, and to the best of my knowledge, has not been done on US.

Your research is very poor. Found this easily: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/fractured/DnT-NA-Fractal-Level-50 (posted 3 days ago)

Jatacid.3725:

Instead of completing dailies like a chore, they can become part of your regular gameplay and are rewarding and worthwhile.

I think they already are.

We don’t know anything about how they will do ascended weapons and the legendarys. Just wait for more details before hating something which isn’t certain to come.

You probably don’t do enough damage to them to be entitled for any loot.

This post took you longer to make than deleting those 6 mails…

Got the Royal Pass (2 weeks) as a drop in The Crown Pavillon, so you don’t need to pay 300 gems to get in – just be lucky with the drops. =)

My votes can be bought by Kiel supporters.

Yaos.4528:

It takes a few months for a councillors policies to take effect any way.

And most don’t come into effect at all.

Vindred.1352:

Anet really needs to re re revamp the leveling. I get on only occasionally now because solo leveling is comparable to a drill in the eye once you’ve leveled a couple chars.

Eh? There’s too much stuff you can do on your level. Whatever you do you get experience. Leveling up also doesn’t accomplish very much – you will only unlock a few new zones while you still have enough to do in the others and have to get new gear which is more appropriate for your level. You can get all the skills you need very early. I think GW2 is a RPG where the level matters the least.

Vindred.1352:

These updates as of late have always delivered on the lore portion, but as far as actual gameplay goes they are focusing their endgame content with the assumption that all players will PvP at some point.

I don’t really know what you’re speaking of. Do you play a different GW2 than I do? The only PvP I see in the recent updates are new PvP maps and a few mini games which are PvP-ish but totally different to the normal PvP. The updates are more PvE in both lore and gameplay.

Yeah, they should fix empty health bars. If something still has health, even if it’s like 1 HP, it should display a tiny bit on the bar. Empty health bar should mean death.

You get scaled up to 80 as seen in the livestream.

citadel of flame explorable path 1 can be completed within 10 – 15 minutes, earning you at least 69 COF tokens

Good luck finding a group to do CoF story mode in order to unlock explorable mode. Currently gw2lfg has 45 groups for exp mode, and 3 for story. Oh, except 2 of those 3 story modes are actually for exp mode, if you read the comment, they’ve just been entered by someone too stupid to pick the right option from the dropdown.

You only need one player in the group who has completed story mode before, not all have to.

So it’s a head of a horrible looking creature with a mohawk? Yeah, definitely your imagination.

So you played Guild Wars 1 and still don’t know what the name stands for exactly? It doesn’t have anything to do with GvG.

Ouiji.3905:

10 stats? l2math. This is just the beginning as every piece of armor and accessory and weapons will be ascended eventually.

Yeah, it’s the beginning. There will be many more ways to aquire ascended gear.

Hmm, nothing new tbh. It already was said elsewhere with less words.

There’s no fee. You pay what it says, nothing more.

Will the high resolution screenshot option come back at some point? And why did it get removed after the first beta weekend?

Took me like 3 weeks to get access to the last PoI in WvW for 100%. But I was patient, no big deal.

mcwurth.2081:

disabling trade system in any MMO would kill the MMO regardless of gold sellers or not. we got used to trading in games and we take the botters and gold sellers for granted and hope the devs find a way to minimize it, what else.

Runescape found that out the hard way when they ruined the wilderness and put a trade cap in the game. Bad example I know, but you’re right: it’s a bad idea to punish innocent players for what a small minority of idiots do.

RuneScape actually didn’t suffer that much. The game got a hit in player base at first but continued to exist quite fine. It actually showed it’s possible to have such harsh restrictions in a MMO.

Omen.1879:

Why on Earth, after so much radio silence, such a poor effort in bug fixing, the Lost Cause and really just a lack of proactive community interaction would I be inclined to give Anet more money?.

Well, I’ve seen a lot worse in other games. Tbh not many which were better. People complain about bugs in every game which is valid but imo nothing very major. ANet also communicates quite a lot. You probably expect more answers and future plans and that’s understandable. I think they just don’t have those answers – gaming development is a though thing and things might change in the last minute. They could have a rough idea but they are not solid enough to be public.

People are already mocking about the ‘promised’ guest feature, guild halls, mini activitys and so on. That’s just one more reason to give less answers to things they are not certain about. They just don’t want to ‘promise’ more things which might not make it into the game in the near future.

Patch Notes January xx:

Map Fixes
Fixed Mount Maelstrom bug which allowed players to travel outside of the designated map boundaries, Drazma.8327 has also been banned.

Profession
Nothing

They already fixed dozens of possibilities like these to get to the edge of a map. Gets harder to find these with each patch.

Of the above choices? None. I really liked the event but didn’t care much about the rewards but the karma jugs from the daily jumping puzzle might come in handy at some point. I don’t need a motivation to have fun with an event.

Well, seems like multiple orders from the same user don’t have a particular order. But order from different users should follow the FIFO concept.

Well, you could wait for the next wintersday event.

After I realized there’s only a tiny chance to get something valuable off the presents I kept selling them which gave me at least some money. Also seems like they went up in price now the event is at it’s end, so for the next event I’ll know what to do.

Aren’t most MMORPGs soloable outside of dungeons/instances? Or did I just play the wrong ones?

Because there are dumb people in the world. Humans aren’t perfect and do stupid things from time to time.

kokocabana.8153:

I finished the jumping puzzle first time today as well and recieved nothing in the chest. Did the puzzle again and only got 3 gift boxes.

Exactly the same for me. I’m a little bit sad now.

I think the higher lvls of FotM are more for a challenge than for loot. They could add some cosmetic items at higher levels as a nice reward.

Zeldain.5710:

It’s not Nvidia’s problem…

Pretty much this. The game is poorly optimized to use graphics cards. If your game is slow or taking awhile to render things, the only thing you can really do is get a better CPU.

Actually a SSD helps loading in objects and players faster. But the average FPS in certain places is lacking and it’s something ANet should look into.

It’s not more rare than other rare dye. Abyss Dye is just the most demanded.

Necrid.2705:

I have yet to call out a single person and say that they were wrong, or that something is wrong with their head, or that they are insane, or that they are a fool, or that they don’t understand life. So don’t justify their actions and say I am doing the same thing. Reread the thread if you don’t beleive me.

Yeah, you call them fanboys instead.

Ned Stark.9356:

don’t worry about the white knights necrid. they’re just mad cause your punching wholes in Anets multiple bought “Game of the Year” titles. As for the topic I believe we should grill Anet more about this horrible RNG success/failure percentage.

Bought “Game of the Year” title? I think you lost your sense for reality.

You don’t have to kill them, just loot the presents…

The easiest and fastest way would be to make some money and then buy the crafting mats.

You can buy the minis in the gem store, so there is a way to get both all minis and tonics.
