Guild Wars 2

I am also going to point out because its Fake money made in game I am NOT looking for it to be refunded, but I am looking for it to stop being taken off me every time I log off from hours of game play.

I have done both Roseo, don’t get me wrong the support team are normally very good. but in missing gold its like they ignore it. :/

I’ve been getting this myself as well. I spent 7 hours farming silver wastes to get gold, events, and items to pull to bits for mets for crafting, I had 200g(rounded up) when I logged off, logged back on the next day and I’m back to 97 silver. I brushed it off as a bug at first, so I set about farming again to work up the gold so I can craft, got back up to 20ish gold signed off, lost internet for a few weeks singed back on and I’m back to 97silver, its utterly ridicules! I’ve had NO replies from tickets sent in, its like they are being ignored and closed!

(LWC) Lonewolf Clan Recruitment. & (Oom) Order of morrigan Recruitment

I’m blackfoxkitsune.7480, and I am looking to Grow my guild We are looking for active GW2 Players to help run our little guild on GW2, as well as just normal members who just want to play the game. Mostly to help with guild events! The game now has been made so hard for small guilds that we need all the help we can get.
Our Home server Is: (EU) ruins of samara
We are an international Clan, a bit laid back in that we play GW2 and other games to have fun so there is no forced focus on PVE, PVP or WVW we are into a bit of everything a game has to throw at us.
Want to know who we are? Well visit out Our Website: http://akikitsune.wix.com/lonewolfclan
http://gw2.guildex.org/view-guild/15008

I am having issues with my IP provider at the moment so reply here and I will get back to you when its fixed OR contact one of my co-leaders in game Warrioress.2750 and ask to be added.

That Said I’m also helping to co-lead another guild called Oom run by Warrioress.2750. Please think about joining them too, as Oom being a young guild needs active members so it can grow and build.
http://oomguild.wix.com/order-of-morrigan
a small guild with many friendly helpful members.
We are EU but all are welcome.
Currently we have 22 members, we like to recruit players who enjoy all or any types of play, new to the game, casual or hardcore.
There are currently four ranks, Apprentice for new members, Warrior which is gained by repping the guild, Raven which is the title given to those who contribute in some way to the running of the guild or are particularly active within the guild and guild events.
And Leader, there are two leaders who are always ready and willing to help any member.

also make it so we can say who can take what from which part. at the moment is says withdraw or deposit, I think gold and items need to be made their own thing in each bank, so ppl can withdraw items but not gold kind of thing, also let the guild leaders say what cap on what kind of guild member. give the guild leader some control of their guilds!

how its become impossible for small guilds with the new stupid guild updates (With no tutorial on how to use them!) but oh wait you need the numbers to get the mets in to do anything with your guild and so begins the ENDLES and BORING grind fest.

Nerfing Nerfing and nerfing. its like there is an obsession with nurfering everything play based for the sake of it while they beef up everything in PVE and make the PC useless. when is it going to stop it just makes things boring and unplayable.

Living story. I mean that so called story thing between add-ons, where we are apparently the commander of it when really we are just a spear part in a story being told around us, we are not really PART of it.

The so called Boss timers. Woe betide you have a life outside of this game like School, Collage, uni, Family or a job! because you are going to miss most of the bosses if you do!

Megaserver its broken its unstable it boots you mid combat.

PVE enemy mobs that block progress or make it that you have to squad up to just get past alive with out having to WP to a WP the OTHER side of the map to wade back against MORE mobs.

Elite Skills: They make you grind and grind and grind and grind and grind and grind and grind and grind and grind and grind and grind to get them! why not just as a new level cap like take us from lvl80 up to lvl 90 or even 100!

Crafting: I used to love it but with the recent changes its just frustrating as heck!

you have got to do a 200 word essay on what NOT to do at a stop light?! REALLY… well you can start with “not drive past it when it says stop” and let the words flow from there as you think what a stop light is for.

romance in the game over all would be NICE, its like we spark up a love interest between some of the core NPC’s and then it just goes Poof. if you are the tree folk sylvari homosexuality is pushed in your face at EVERY turn. Now I’m all for Equal rights everyone has their own tastes But to force one point of view or another and then rub it in the face is insulting to everyone. At least give us REAL romance options that give some kind of addition to the story, not hint at it and watch it go fizzle pop (maybe even minus the pop) it just goes flat. what was the point of even having a CHARM option if it counts for nothing?! we are not asking you to add sex there are ways of getting around that but make our Charm, Might and leadership choice have some meaning!

Rezzet.3614:

2: i havent seen anything wrong with pve mobs except for when theres an event that shuts down a road and spawns enemies endlessly but that is supposed to work that way

3. the hacker was stupid enough to Record Himself playing while hacking and some who played against him recorded as well so yeah there was planty of evidence.

4..sorry but no shatterer is a 12 foot story liutenant dragon he was meant to be the pinnacle of world bosses right now he’s a joke because of the exploit

5 mixd feelings on this one because there are those who consider all grinding unnecesary but there are those elitists who want everyone to do ungodly ammount of work

6. even though theres a mega server there are still sorta instanced maps the diference is the game now filters player from other servers into said instanced emptier maps to try fill it whereas old instances dint even bother trying to get populated

7. some gw2 employees do play they simply dont announce themselves public , because players always swarm the arenanet icon players and bombard with questions and insults and worshipping non stop

having gone over your post i’m sad to say its like you skipped half of what I was saying, like you read the first line see red and post a response before finishing reading what was said. at least that is how your post comes across. So I would ask you could you please carefully re-read what has been said and take time to think on what was said, not give a knee jerked response as a fellow player. Thanks. <3

Ok This may come across as a Rant, but that is not my aim, Its more of an expressed worry about the culture that is forming in MMO’s all over the place and NOW it has infected A’net in the form of GW2 and patch updates.
Now I can’t put this in professions because its ALL of them, and we can’t post in Dev tracker about the patch updates only wait for the admin team to pick it up pass it on to how ever is doing the Q & A and wait see if it turns up. So seeing as it is about both the core and add-on (The whole game) I can only see it fitting here. I will keep it Spoiler free and I would ask anyone that posts after me to do the same please.
Again this is not meant to be a rant, It is a long time player someone who LOVES this game expressing concerns about the culture of Nerffing all the wrong things, among other things. This is going to be a BIG post.

Ok 1st up rebalancing: yes there is need for balancing This is something I have never argued our doubted the fact it NEEDs rebalancing because it has become broken. However this needs to be said! I have been reading the recent patch notes for the next upcoming patch, could someone please tell me HOW removing anything remotely useful in the skills is rebalancing?
For the past 2+ years Ranger class even with druid = EXTREAMLY broken
But now the other classes are soon to follow in the being very, very broken.
This I am said to say worries me, because PVP is one thing; but while you’re rebalancing everything for PVP you’re making it impossible for the PVE play. Could you not make 2 skill sets 1 for pvp and 1 for PVE this way everyone in PVP can start off the same, you guys had this formula right when you started off in this game, It wasn’t perfect and only needed a few tweeks but over time you have managed to make it so unbalanced that rangers are hated, warriors about to become extremely useless, mez’ will loose everything that makes them any good, thieves are about to get weaker on their pistols the REV (who is OP and we have told you so since the Beta’s) is about to loose its one decent skill to a timer system the list goes on sadly. Oh but there is more! EVERYONE is about to loose their skills to un-stun! yet Everything PVE seems to have gained a knockback (even those that are not meant to have it!) and on top of that everything stuns and before you can even get back up they kill you! and now we are about to loose our already slow un-stun abilities and the Rev’s is about to get put on a timer?! FIX the PVE enemies first please.

2nd PVE MOBS!: No I am not talking about player trains, I’m talking PVE enemies in MASS mobs. Why? Well even as a skilled up lvl 80 I have a hard time with mobs. Its getting to a point where we are having to form squads to get from Point A to Point B in a map just to get to missions, story, guild things, point of interest. Now I am all for Community play that is the point of an MMO, But to FORCE us to group up just to move from Point A to Point B because of OP PVE enemy Mobs is just ridicules. Some of us Like to Solo once in a while we don’t WANT to have to wait for our friends to come online to then ask them if they mind escorting us it makes things BORING.

3rd: WVW Cheating or Glitching; Now I saw somewhere a random vid where you guys banned someone for cheating, but never said HOW he cheated. Fair do’s if he really was a cheater, but I want to know if something is going to be really done about it over all. I have played a fair few times in WvW and I’m sorry if I sound racist here, because I am not this is a sad observation I have made While in WvW, but before I start I will openly admit I know I’m rubbish at WvW because I have a knack for running into mobs while scouting. (I’m a rubbish scout when it comes to staying alive.) But I have noticed that FR seem to be un-killable at times even sometimes super fast. I’m not painting all members of FR with the same brush I’ve played against some AWSOME players that it was a Joy to do battle with Even if I lost! I don’t play WvW to win (that’s a bonus) I play to have fun, But when you have someone or a large number of someone’s that a equal number of people shoot at, hit, use every weapon at our disposal and their health gage doesn’t even budge? then you start to wonder if something fishy is going on. Now it maybe their not cheating it might be a nasty cross server Glitch, But in any event it needs looking into please.

4th World Boss Changes: Shatters’, Well while I am annoyed at how you are having ago at your player base for using his “blind spot” and claiming he “can’t attack you in that space” Well guys I’m going to tell you something you might not want to hear there. YOU ARE WRONG. He can very much attack us in his “blind Spot” First we have to deal with his minions, and he can even turn us to crystal. I know I’m often on those dragon hunting missions to get the crafting things from them. That said I have got to say the changes to this boss are something I am looking forward to it sounds like he is going to be a more interesting battle! Not so sure about the gliding aspect you want to add in, but we’ll wait and see how that turns out. Changing up the WB’s once and a while I’ve always seen as a good thing I keeps us on our toes with how we have to deal with them. (however I Still can not say I’m a fan of the timers we’ve had since mega server).

5th Enforced Grinding: You guys Promised us back when you launched GW2 we would NOT ever be forced to grind, that we would have a Choice of how we play. Well guys that promise has become broken! Even since the new class updates we have had to grind and grind and grind and grind and grind and grind events it was already bad enough doing that for crafting things but NOW to do it to gain class upgrades? PLEASE just STOP! just give us a new level cap to reach this grinding to level up is just stupid you have taken away our choice and have now FORCED us to grind making the game boring. What happened to letting US choose how we play?! If we want to make a champ train and go around a map killing champs and doing its events WHAT IS THE PROBLEM!? you guys have systematically removed champs turning them into pointless Vets and nerfing drops and anything else you can hit with a nerf stick to stop us “grinding” because that “wasn’t how you wanted us to play” (removing our choice!) to then Turn around later with an add on and then FROCE us to Grind! What was the point?

6th Mega Server: Guys I see where you were going with this, I understand why you needed to do this, But I bring it up, because it’s still unstable, Can’t you give us back instances again? Sorry to bring up this game but they pinched your old system and you pinched Their old system. (in other words you swopped) Star wars the old Republic uses a Mega server system, However they liked how you used to have an instance system, they have since implemented that system into theirs and it works well. When a map becomes full a new instance opens in the Map window and you can hop over to the overflow instance with out having to join a party of someone already in that map to jump over. (they have that system also just you don’t need to) I ask this because its been a nightmare of being booted out of a map you were in with friends about to take on a HUGE world boss like triple trouble, Tequatl, Claw of Jormag or some other WB or big event, then suddenly you get a load screen and then your on a map with next to nobody on it and you are left with a WB with 1min to kill it with 5 people and its full health. If you give us back instance that open when there is a need for them this will stabilize your megaserver.

The final Idea: there is a way to be sure what needs fixing and maybe get an idea of how. that A’net Staff, most of all the Dev’s for 1 week every 2 months or so get assigned to play along side the games player base and come and play with us, play the game they work hard on, the only true way to test and check it, work out what needs tweaking repairing, removing or changing is to play it with the rest of the community. I’m not saying that us player base should know who and when that would defy part of the point of doing this. But I am saying get to know the game from a different prospective other then the intimate coding side.

Well thank you for reading my mega post and I do hope you take what I’ve said on board, as I said this is not meant to be a rant, I apologise if it seems so it is concerns of a player and fan of GW2 and someone who wants to see you do well not go down the drain.

oh for the love of kittens everywhere.
there have been so many accounts suspended or worse in the past few days, ALL for doubtable reasons! Since when has buying on the black lion been buying externally?! for gods sake A-net if you are going to make it a ban-able thing to trade gems for gold or gold for gems then TAKE IT OFF YOUR OWN TRAINING SYSTEM CALLED BLACK LION!
This kind of thing is just becoming down right disgusting! It will turn your so far very loyal community on you! The community that at the moment still loves you WILL get legal on you! The community WILL get ANGRY at you! and the community WILL refuse to buy anything else from you ever again.
That is NOT a path you want to go down, and its not a path your community wants to take, But keep this kind of nonsense up and your player base will have no choice.
So A-net I implore you stop acting like EA, Capcom and Valve, while you still can, while your rep has only a little speck of dirt that can be cleaned. Don’t go down the road that leaves you untrusted it would ruin all you have built, and all that your community you have built up from the player base love about you.

Ok so my main I play is a ranger, I love the rangers, so i’m getting more then annoyed at the endless Nerfs their ranger gets hit with and the never ending wave of hate to rangers from other players.
Rangers Rely on their pets for half their DPS they inflict. The AI on our pets is Rubbish most of the time making matters worse.
Before HOT came out there was some glimmer of hope for the rangers with making us a useful team member once more, with the Addition of Druid to their class.
That hope was very quickly Smashed to bits. The healing power of our “Druid staff” is rubbish, its attacking points rack up, also rubbish, we can’t heal our team mates effectively, nor can we kill our enemies effectively. About all rangers can do is point a staff that looks like a dead sapling and flail while the player yells “you shall not pass” to add to the comical value. In short A-net your endless Nerfing of the Ranger class, with the FAILED add in of the Druid has made the ranger only useful as a jester!
I ask that you give us something a bit more useful then a staff for healing, and please for the love of the gods of Tyria, Address the AI on the ranger pets and Necro minions.

Use FB to plan events for your guild, in some cases, It is possible to ask bigger guilds to help you. This is what my guild of about 10 active members is planning to do, I’m part of 4 other guilds outside of my own guild, and one is a large active guild that has offered help to smaller guild on the EU servers to help take guild halls. Because Anet FORGOT to scale the events in the guild hall! >:( oh yes Anet we ARE very angry players at that you know!

I made a post yesterday about their locaions. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/New-Pet-locations-for-Rangers-Player-info/first#post5679285
But I do agree no other class has to face this BS to get their tools to fight! Its unfair and blooming stupid. Rangers NEED their pets in the same way a fighter needs a weapon, its utterly stupid that we have got to hope that someone is willing to help us do the events to get the darn pets! even more stupid when you add in all the “We hate rangers so we’re not helping you” Bs ranger players have to face from other players as well.

@Ranlares, I can understand the frustration of those rangers cursing out mesma’s, I don’t condone it but I understand it. its because Ranger pets Tiger and Electric Wyvern are ONLY located on the Northwestern area of Dragon’s Domain after defeating Mordremoth in Dragon’s Stand. There’s approximately 10ish minutes until the map closes after defeating Mordremoth. Updraft mastery and/or a Mesmer is required to teleport a Ranger to travel to the designated area where the Tigers & Electric Wyverns are located. That is what the OP is trying to say, That there needs to be More locations not limited to 1 location that depends on events being completed and another player to help a ranger get there. Its like saying a Mesmer is not aloud to use their skills, of an ele’ using their magic. A ranger depends on their pets for well over half of their DPS stuff. so to have them spawning in just 1 location where the rangers are forced to depend on others to help them get their pets, is just flat out unfair.

I agree with the OP I have booked the week off to play HOT, and I am disappointed. it in fact makes me even more angry at how much they are asking for this add on!!! There is a lot wrong with it right now, But its early days yet. There are some areas such as the guild over halls that NEED to be made Easier OR give us a blooming tutorial! the way its all been rushed and mishmashes is very off putting!

Then there’s the new maps. Dear Gods I can only do those for an hour or so before I get so blooming fed up with them I have to find something else to do! there are FAR to many events going off ALL AT ONCE and no where near enough map population to cover them all! ( I am talking a map that is full here)

Don’t even get me started on the bugged out mystery point, with failing to show up on the map at times or when you do find them they FAIL to give you the point!

They have Changed to much to fast and half of the stuff your seeing in hot now was NOT even on the Beta’s for testing!

Bristleback: Auric Basin > Eastwatch Bluff In the southeast of Weeping Glade

Smokescale > Tangled Depths Teku Nuhoch South of the camp, only if camp is tier 2-3

Fire Wyvern > Verdant Brink Canopy over Pact Encampment From Matriarch’s Perch glide southeast to the patch of land and look west.

Tiger & Electric Wyvern > located on the Northwestern area of Dragon’s Domain after defeating Mordremoth in Dragon’s Stand.
There’s approximately 10ish minutes until the map closes after defeating Mordremoth. Updraft mastery and/or a Mesmer is required to teleport a Ranger to travel to the designated area where the Tigers & Electric Wyverns are located

I noticed on the wiki for gw2 there is a HUGE lack of anything info wise that is useful to players for HOT at the moment. So given as I have been working hard as heck to find these pets I am now sharing the info!

So the whole rethinking on how to build your guild has happened. some good a lot BAD. Who’s idea was it to make us spend gold on that?! its hard enough to get gold in the game with your never ending Nurfing of event, area and mission drops. I get more out of events in queensdale as a level 80, then I do from Orr now. So the paying with gold needs to be dropped I think.

Also a Tutorial would have been nice on HOW to add banners and so forth into your guild, right now you can go and buy them with gold and which ever guild points you happened to choose to make us spend to get them, And then what?
There is NO info, you jump this change on us and then give us NO info in how to use that change, it’s just ridicules. If your going to change something so fundamental at LEAST give us an in-game Tutorial we can activate to learn HOW to use it. Your wiki has NO info at all about it, it just sends us to random forum posts or gives some very odd error codes.

ever since their “mega server” roll out we have been getting this issue and its getting worse and worse and worse like we forewarned them when it was first rolled out. They didn’t listen then, and now the game is getting unplayable which in turn will sadly kill the game. they need to give us back our ability to change instance, not have us all mashed together in one big mega server because it if very very clearly unstable.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/This-lag-beyond-lag-is-getting-beyond-a-joke/first#post5391336

oh yes ._. this problem is driving me up the wall, just did a post called “lag beyond lag getting beyond a joke” over in the bugs, game, forum, website" fourm. its making the game unplayable.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/This-lag-beyond-lag-is-getting-beyond-a-joke/first#post5391336

Ok this has been happening since your “oh so wonderful” idea of MegaServer’s. WELL its getting WORSE! 3 times today I have tried to fight Tiquat’ started off ok, got him to half health, then I died, ok no big deal just respawn at the miles away waypoint, Only I didn’t just respawn NOOOOOooo I got booted to a whole other map instance away from my party!!! and guess what! I couldn’t re-join them because the “map was full” So I was stuck on a map with 12 people who had also got booted! there was NO WAY we were going to be able to take tiquat’ down on our own who now had full health.
That’s not the half of it. I’ve had it on Jormag, Behe, fire Ele’, oh the list of bosses goes on! and with NO MANUAL way to change map instance there is NO WAY to form new parties to take down these bosses when your booted from a “Full map” you were once part of.
Kindly Change this A’net, give us back our ability to change map please because this is now making the game REALLY REALLY unplayable.

We are looking for active GW2 Players to help run our little guild on GW2, as well as just normal members who just want to play the game. We are not just on GW2 Lonewolf clan by its name hints at it being a Gamers clan, we are across most platforms But our focus in this posting is GW2

Our Home server Is: (EU) ruins of samara

We are an international Clan, a bit laid back in that we play GW2 and other games to have fun so there is no forced focus on PVE, PVP or WVW we are into a bit of everything a game has to throw at us.

how do I get my mits on the CS team? ¬_¬ there seems to be a massive lack of support help outside of we player in response to anything lately.

you can do it via the website here and then with all the verifying e-emails and other steps, its like he exists but at the same time doesn’t >< good luck is needed thank you! and your not the only one hoping he hasn’t given is details away.

Hi I sent a ticket in on this as well, I wont post up personal details here but will try to explain the problem.
I’m also wondering if other users have had this and if anyone in support can help with this strange problem.

Both myself and my partner soon to be husband bought guild wars 2 together as something we could play together on our days off, now work has had us both unable to put our feet on the ground for a few months, and today is one of those rare few days we both have off together. So we figured hey lets play guild wars 2! now here comes the problem, I am able to log in no problems other then the fact i’m on a new comp and it wants me to do the “its never seen this thing before” emails. yep no probs for me. My Partner on the other hand, he can log into the website, BUT instead of “Name.1234” it presents him with a bunch of random letters and numbers almost like the game product code, Except its not and both he and I got it from this very website so if we ever got such a code its LONG been deleted from our e-mails, so we have no clue how to get that. Plus its telling him he doesn’t have GW2? that in its self is both confusing and annoying!

Also he is now having issues logging into the game client its self as well, we were both aware we’d have updates as its been a few months since we’ve been on GW2, but it just keeps telling him his username and password are incorrect even though the game client is set to remember this? He is at his wits end as he has tried everything your website says to try in its step by step even changing his log in e-mail and a number of other steps, but all have turned up blank leaving him feeling very frustrated and I even go as far as to say a bit ripped off as he paid for this game as we all have to, to play and now he can’t play the game he paid for almost 2 years ago. I only add this because I know as fellow human beings who work hard for your money you would understand that frustration.

Thanks for reading.

Ruins of Surmia its:
Boar ? Troll ? Oak ? Bandit ? Wasp/Boar
Behe thrown into the mix when he shows up.

After behe we pick up at Oak, so Post Behe its:
Oak ? Bandit ?Boar/wasp ? Troll
Until the kill of Spider being a champ Ruins of Surmia never even bothered with Bandit, but now its felt that since you have to wait a while on boar, Bandit is best done in place of spider.

Also did something on this, Guilds could use an alliances tab as well, where leaders can request an alliance with another guild leader. this would help the smaller guilds and even the bigger guilds.

IDEAS for A-net Dev team.

Blair.3796:

+1 for offering constructive suggestions for improving the game. There has been far too much complaining without offering solutions here lately.

you need to go though ALL the threads that haven’t been hit by the delete happy admin, there have been exactly that on how to fix things with the patch of April 14, sadly most of them have been deleted for being outside of the kosha thread. Not only that a lot of the frustration is coming from ANET simply not giving any real feed back, not replaying, no updates that make sense. just read some of the updates lately, they make about as much sense and trying to see though a wall as if it were a clear window. Its just insane. :/

I have to admit my blocked list is growing very fast :/

Callendor.1840:

From logging in this morning, the nice friendly server maps are now full of very abusive people, swearing and bullying seem to be rife. Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone know if ArenaNet is planning anything to fix this situation they have created? I realize that to some it is normal behavior but I stayed in my relatively low populated server because everyone was nice and friendly there… Would making it so when someone is reported and profanity is found in their chats they can be instantly banned for a short duration?

Yes I have noticed this and Have been on the receiving end of it many times since the megaserver, not just from random other players from other parts of the world who get very abusive because I’m British, but from my own as well. I frequently see Newbies getting put off because they ask a simple question any newbie is bound to ask about something, but for an answer the get a mountain of abuse from other players, called noob being the lesser of the insults but the teasing that then follows there after, your often looking at prolonged and sustained bullying for the “crime” of being new. thats just one example. when I first joined it was friendly and i met a number of nice people, formed a guild, then that formed into sort of guild alliances in an odd sort of way.
But since April 14 I’ve seen more trolls and bullies and even LFG a rise in system abuse, and glitching in Dungeons, you can’t even get into Orr’s The ruined city of Arah Dungeon with out them saying 14+gold to join and when you make your own they merge you and demand gold or that you be a class type and then boot you and forcing you to post up again to go though the same process a few times over.
so how are people meant to fin their story? The player behaviour now is just disgusting!

yes I’ve seen it as well with my guild… was there a guild wars 00000000000.1 134 years ago? where people play it in live action? XD

its the same in pve, 2 or 3 hits and the pets are dead :/

Have been getting this code since the last patch update and I’m NOT alone!
as it stands at the moment we have to leave group, walk into it and then regroup to be able to get into The ruined city of Arah Dungeon. Go in as a party and you get Error Code=19.9.18:1607:101 as in in the Screan shot.
I know it can’t be my fire wall I’ve explained why in an In game ticket I’ve just sent though as well, and I can’t take the in game screen shot of this code AND send the report because I have got to click ok on one of them before I can even get to the other hence the starting of a topic on the forum about it.
It really is getting annoying because it is blocking story progress, woe betide someone has to leave of gets royally disconnected, because if you put yourself up on the LFG system, you all have to un-group, go in regroup and start over from the very start. This came in with the patch on April 14. please can you fix this Dungeon. Thanks
This is on top of it crashing during the dragon fight sequence where you are fighting the dragons before the big bad boss at the end.

I know I’ve not liked the new changes, and I’ve coved that in the relevant topics but one of my peeves is the new boss timers. so I will add that much in this post, but that is not all this post is about.

Idea 1 (this bit is the latest update related) Timers on bosses, some of them need to be more often, as people with lives, and so forth can no longer do them, also there are what’s become known as the zurg squad who are literally camping on boss spawns while making other players do pre-events and then killing that boss before the players that did the pre-event can even get back to it. Theses are the first things I shall cover, then I’ll go into my other ideas as well.

Idea 2: Ok Boss timers, could GW2 make a tab on the site to tells us exactly WHEN the bosses will spawn please? at the moment many of us are using guildwarstemple.com and its not 100% accurate.

Idea 3: World Boss pre-events and spawn campers. maybe make it they get less of a reward for camping and not helping with pre events, or even making it you can’t get to boss area due to some mystic barrier or something before pre-events are done, because trying to get a hit on many of the now needed bosses is a nightmare now. (and that’s before we even get into the lag issues seen in posts related to this)

Idea 4: more dynamic events please. with the up date we have lost many of these it would be nice to see them back, because this was one of the big loves on GW2!

Now we come to the no new update related ideas

Idea 5: new story arch. there are many bad guy factions it would be nice to know the in-depth story of, such as the Sylvari nightmare court, the Azuran Inquisition and so on. maybe add these in as an option to race story’s?
5.5) There are also a number of races that could be put to more use: The Skritt, the Dredge, The Koda, the Quaggan, the Tengu or even the Largos who could do with some story development maybe even add them in as a playable race?

Idea 6: More emotions, this would help both the Role players who like to loom around on the game, but Also the more into the game types that like to play the game, as we now have a mashed up mega server that has lumped us with just about everyone, this would help people who do not speak the same lang’ communicate in a sort of odd way, I only bring this one up because I’ve seen it work well on a lesser game (starwars) for the same sort of reasons. But I mostly bring it up because I know it would indeed make the role players happy.

Idea 7: a Dule function (with an on off switch in options so people can’t spam you with it) at is stand we are limited to fighting each other in pvp marked zones in sub worlds, like WVW or PVP works (like the random game crab toss) but it would also be nice to just simply duel each other to pass the time for lols.

Idea 8: Guilds! there needs to be a a way of forming alliances with each other in the whole of gw2 not just simply join each others guild, but proper alliances with each other were we can see it on a guild alliance tab on who we are allayed with thus making it easier to call for numbers on big events, wvw, pvp all these kinds of things, because as it stands right now its tricky, and with the new guild events system unless you are a HUGE mega guild you’ve just simply got no way of getting numbers needed.
’m not saying “all of same would are ally by default” like we are in wvw but I mean when two guild leaders make friends we can send each other an ALLY invite not just guild invite each other to death. this should be reserved for the rank leader only.

Idea 9: Crafting. This is insanely difficult, but fun because of it. But this is regarding the Ascended gear, it takes and insane amount of time to make some of the items, and that’s not counting the relentless grinding one has to do to get the stuff to make it, with all the other crafting the timers get faster the more you craft them. Could you do the same with the ascended stuff as well. 24hours to make 1 brick… 1 brick? that is just insane, its ok to start with but please make the timer come down over each time you craft it. maybe leaving the longest 1 or 2 hours or something? it just seems so unrealistic.

Idea 10: Dragonite Ore and Bloodstone dust and other ascended materials that are account locked. over time you get insane amounts of these. I’m not going to ask they get cut down, because they really do need to drop if your going to have ANY hope of crafting ascended things, BUT could we have a Sell option on these please, by the end of your crafting (since you can not sell your ascended amours and weapons to anyone) can we at least sell the crafting materials to NPC venders and maybe even on black lion? because after a while we just end up destroying it, as it becomes a pointless drop.

ok this was a good idea in Theory, but in practice its failing. :/ please put the dynamic events back they were much more fun to play, this is stale old had and very boring now. Also I’ve noticed with your Mega server this so called Sync is also failing -IF- you get booted to an overflow the event stops at it pre-event with some pre-events never happening, so events going off at the same time universal is sure as hell not happening! not only that if your lucky enough to get into miss mash of a boss event you will LAG to death literally! you are watching your toon play with their hair, test the wind or something while your there mashing away at an attack function and their simply not doing anything, then suddenly your dead. and that’s if your really lucky. if your less lucky you watch everything at 1 frame every 5s and if your less lucky then that you’ll suddenly get sent to a random waypoint for no reason what so ever, one min your combat, next your on the other side of a map at a random waypoint, OH but then we get to the unlucky part, where your lag becomes SO bad with so many players from ALL around the world all mashed together your net, game client or comp can no longer take the abuse Anet is throwing at it your game will boot you to chara screen or crash altogether meaning you LOOSE everything you’ve done on the boss event and you just went though hell to complete that event for.. a big fat NOTHING!

So please put it back to how it was with bosses and for the love of what ever god or power or energy you worship! STOP PUTTING US WITH PEOPLE WE CAN’T UNDERSTAND!

Look I’ve seen mega-servers work, But this roll out so far is BROKEN!! if your going to do this there is a much easier way, as it is we have 100s of servers within a main area USA, EU right? well we don’t need all of those its just to many, I understand why a mega-server is needed and I have seen them work when done right, but the way this one has been rolled out is WRONG, what they needed to do was lang match up, in the EU one we have French, Spanish, German, Polish and so on. So mixing English people with French and German has never been and will never be a good thing, the Germans seem to like P-ing off the other players, the French actually sit and insult the English thinking the English to stupid to understand French (sorry but some of us DO know French so can read the racist insults), it is out right disgusting some of the things I’m reading from other players towards each other, with Germans sadly being the WORST! (that I find shocking!) followed closely by the Brits and who are followed even closer by the French! The only way a mega-servers is going to work is if you merge the servers of specific langs together, Even Microsoft on their Xbox’s worked that much out!
The Brits need to sadly be lumped in the US servers because we can not play with other people from the EU, and even then with in the EU the French and Germans are just as vile to each other. There is to much of a lang barrier with racism running amok on all sides that SOMETHING needs to be done.

on the EU servers this system FAILS!!!!!

Oswaldzl.3652:

Hey so gw2 is about to use a Megaserver system soon… But won’t this lag out most people? as gw2 developers may use very high-end computers to make the game and they know the mass people won’t lag the game, but it definitely will lag-out most people …. In wvw it’s already like this… I really think this Megaserver thing needs a rework before making it permanent… As when we bought this game it says minimum-Recommended Requirements….It didn’t say we need good computers… I thank anyone reading this as it is an issue needed to be addressed… If an anet stuff could read this its the better…. I look to reading replies as soon…

There is another issues your missing here. While I agree with everything you have said. There is a missing issue of net connections. Much of the EU and indeed even the UK are still only on ADSL, with a few places being as up to-date as fiberoptic some are still in 1980s cable but mostly 1900s Copper wire, This has been failed to be considered by Anet. this will lag so many people off the game its unreal.

Yes, but they seemed to indicate that it wouldn’t come to cities, and that the roll out would be slower than anticipated. If they’re just going to open it to every map in one or 2 days, why even talk about a rollout?

Because if they didn’t people would claim that they lied if not every single map in the game got added to the MegaServers at once.

You continue to whiteknight. I’m going to go and figure out what to do in this game, now that I can’t farm world bosses anymore.

Not sure why you can’t farm world bosses. Go to Dulfy, get the schedule and farm.

on that’s an easy one to answer in 3 answers

1: new timers means you have to have NO life at all outside of GW2

2: you can’t understand who your playing with any more on EU servers

3: Megaservers are so unstable now that you get so many in one event you LAG out of events and bosses, with the game aether crashing or booting you to log in screen or throwing you to random way points.

Its getting worse!!!! I thought you guys said you were not rolling this out until later in the YEAR?! I’ve had abuse thrown at me today for not speaking French, Lucky I understand a little French!! but I am far from flaunt in it. They seem to think we’re on their survers and demanding we speak their lang and the same other way around. for god sake Anet! fix it or your going to loose the EU servers from everyone in the EU quitting!!!

Trixxy.6937:

We were honestly fine before with guesting and proper dynamic event chains.

I agree

Right guys can we get some UP TO DATE info on this server stuff?

I’ve just tried to join the evenings champ run and well aside from having every lang’ under the sun shouted at me and me not having a clue what was being said and what was wanted of me. and I’m sure the frustration of not understanding each other goes two ways here!
But the LAG OMG THE LAG!!!! my game crashed 6 times on Ulgoth the Modniir, 4 Times on scattererer and then I just went F this and quit. at least (and I hate I’m even saying this) on Star-wars the old republic you pic your native lang and a mega server exists with that area in mind so everyone at least understand each other, you can also change your instance to move to a more or less populated one and that is not to say SWTOR works perfectly because it doesn’t it is often unplayable due to MEGA lag! Now I hate to say it, but SWTOR works better then THIS mess that just mashes us all together and randomly kicks us to way points in the middle of combat OR just flat out lags us to death or crashes the game! GW2 was better then this! it worked just fine as it was, I can understand you might be trying to cut some costs and so on but this is just ridicules and will just cost you more money with loss of gamers.
FIX THIS PROBLEM NOW!!!

I’m not even sure where to begin on this there is a lot I do not like about this “new system” with the patch.

1: trait respects:
Rangers were already troublesome to play and were often the target for being kicked from groups for just being rangers because people want thief, or Warrior instead on dungeon runs, because Rangers are not seen as the best DPS (despite that before this patch, if you built your ranger right they were a handy long to close range DPS with the added bonus of a pet to send in and Rez allies if needed) Now with this new patch, our Condition damage now means Jack-doodles everything is now shoved on to precision and critical, Our damage rate is now dropped by three quarters or more I went from doing 10k with my long bow on maw to just a mere 200! My main is a lvl 80 ranger and she’s gone from being a handy ranger to a glorified pet owner with a fancy stick that shoots something that dose.. less then a lvl 1 with a normal practice stick with no stats! and yes I have respected my new Traits and they SUCK spiky sour gone off rotten apples! I agree the system did need improvement, but THIS system is NOT improvement is copying and maybe even WORSE then the likes of SWTOR or WOW, and they have some really dumbed down lame systems :/ it works for those games but NOT for guild wars! this game was a breath of fresh air, now I feel like I’ve walked into a broom cupboard and inhaled everyone’s cigarette smoke with 50 people crammed in smoking like chimney pots and me being an asthmatic!

2: money/the Economy
in game money: it was already very hard to gain money in this game, I’m lvl 80 and up until last night had only managed to gain 8 gold since I started playing in November 2013!!!! I’m now down to 1 gold just respecting with equipment!!!!! and what do I get off bosses and events? maybe 1 or 2 silver, with WPs costing 3+ silver and loot that gets me OH a few copper! even the dungeons have been scaled down to rubbish. >:( it was already hard enough before! but now its imposable. Balancing out the economy my bottom! its now so unbalanced its broken!

3: World bosses.
Now their used to be trains that would travel the world, do pre events and hit bosses hard and fast to get our achievements, we could say when how and where to hit a boss and you’d have 4 or 5 trains running to do it. Now pre-events mean nothing, you can’t predict WHEN a boss will show up, the every hours, every 15 mins past the hour, every 30mins past the hour and 15mins to the hour and some once very 24 hours!!!
what were arena net thinking with this one? sorry but if someone happens to be at work or at school or collage or uni at the time some of these bosses spawn that’s it?! no achievement for them?!? sorry but that is out right disgusting!
The whole thing has broken a number of bosses, made a few make no sense, timers set up for predicting them are now so far out of date their useless, Oh and Behe is VERY badly broken in queensdale. the whole thing is just rubbish, the only way I can see to fix this is put if back to its original system!

4: WP costs:
now this is sort of part of 2, but the way point costs have gotten OTT, with events and/or bosses only giving you a few silver, and WPs costing anywhere between a few copper (for lower lvls only) to 4 or 5 silver with a few coppers thrown in, this is getting ridicules and expensive.

5: Boss culling
Queensdale champ train is a good example here, in that champ train, you would go Boar, Troll, Oak, Spider (some would do bandit) then back to Boar or wasp when she deems to show up. Now spider is no longer a champ, she’s an elite! she’s just one of many but she’s a quick easy example to go check out. The World boss dragon Shatterer is another, This guy was once a struggle to take down with 2 trains of 20 people, now a train of 10 people can kill him as if he were boar from queensdale. did he get dumbed down from World boss to a mere champ?

6: Boss chests in dungeons:
Boss chests in dungeons are now limited to once a day, Why was this even necessary? There are so many world bosses already limited to once a day as it was, but now there is NO reason to even bother with a Dungeon run! for rangers it was already troublesome to get a match and with some players even charging you gold to join (those players can get stuffed in my books because that’s LFG system abuse!) but now there is no real insensitive to even bother with the Dungeons at all because there is now nothing worth dungeon delving for!

there really is so much about this patch I hate and I really don’t have all day to sit typing it all up it really is stupid!

so ummm where are the dragons factored in that? we still have Jormag, shatterer and Tequat. And they ALWAYS need train numbers to kill them and they still have good drops.

not happy with my ranger at all now guys, they were already troublesome to play and even have people booting you from parties for the crime for being a ranger because their not seen as the “best DPS” in the game, now with this update its even worse. ._. we have gone from being slightly useful to glorified pet owners with a fancy useless weapon. thanks for making us MORE useless in PVE if levelling up wasn’t already tiresome enough now its MORE girding and More like WoW and all the other stale MMOs out there you have taken what was grate and made it rubbish.

Geekfox.4267:

Here’s what’s going on. If Shadow Behemoth roars to spawn portals and then it immediately dies, the portals stay. The portals remain indestructible until the zone has been restarted by a new game update.

Not the case on Ruins of Surmia, he never even spawns and has not spawned since the “update”. its the ending of the pre-event13 portholes you have to kill to get him to spawn that are not working… I have heard on other servers they have got Behe to spawn, but then he spews his portholes and dies and the thing you speak of then happens. :/ I think its safe to say they broke him with half the game. :/

same on Ruins of Surmia
