Guild Wars 2

Can also confirm this as well dodge goes back to normal animation when switch maps to normal Tyria but works perfectly in HoT maps. just happened a few mins ago.

Reaper Alim.4176:

5 since A Net is going to force WvW players to PvE and map complete to unlock the class they’ve already paid for. Awesome graphics, gameplay is fun.

I just feel like A Net since all the WvW players a message as such… “Master say you WvWers do PvP or no new spec line for you. You want that new spec line you’ve paid for right? Well better get to the PvEing and Map Completion then master demands it!”

I’ll give GW2 post HoT a solid 5 as I take my business else where. I’ll be kitten to be a game dev slave. My money my enjoyment not my money dev enjoyment. Point and point.

People who do WvW do not have to leave WvW to get there elite specs https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/earning-hero-points-in-world-vs-world/ i even did it to get one of the hero points that needed a mastery but was bypassed because i unlocked it in WvW randomly with the scrolls they sell. And currently i rate this 5/10 until i get use to more of the stuff.

I just stumbled upon this problem with the Exalted 4 headed Vine boss chest. A green one that keeps crashing the game

Wow if that’s the case this is a total let down if it gets reduced to 2,500 i got that title 3 times already… sigh I would have been happen with 50,000 at most. Oh well… and thanks for the replies.

Is there anywhere i can read about if they are going to do anything about the count of how many dolyaks you need to kill to get that achievement(Yakslapper). I been working on it for a while and everyone who i seen post from or have did calculation on how long they said it would take definitely aims at you’ll be long dead before that happens

The new borderland and skill that’s gonna come with the Yaks is why i thought of this. If it’s gonna take me longer to get rid of the yak cuz of escorts. 1 million dead yaks is gonna be lightyears away with this method of approach. i still want to mess with it anyways but i just wanna know if they are gonna do anything about it???

Was coming here to report the exact same thing. I’ve only exp the game crashes when trying to spec someones build.

You know what we need to do? We need to bundle all the angry people into one posting area and let them go at it. Yall a trip always trying to flame anyone that want to post about being apologetic or showing sympathy… smh. Anet f’ed up. We get it… YOU get it. Community has given its feedback and its recommendation for a solution to fix some of it. Give Anet a week. And go do something other else other than being the bad of the situation…

This sums it up perfectly out of all of them.

I saw this posted on another thread, and it is basically true…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp98SH3vW2Y

This is so accurate. I know HOT isn’t finished yet so i’m not gonna instantly throw my money at something that doesn’t even have a guarantee release date. I did that when GW2 first came out and it got delayed a few times…

Pre order/purchase only means you’re funding the money for them to complete the product. Whether you want to or not thats your choice.

Thank you for your reply Omocha. 50 dollars wont bother me much, but i can’t speak for everyone. I’m waiting basically on my class Specialization (Thief) and also to see where this evolves before i throw money at Anet. I’m willing to support Anet and all but like you said: A gesture of goodwill from Anet is mandatory before any of the disgruntled people here will take any steps towards “signing a peace treaty”

No i don’t lol Yet you wouldn’t know yourself cuz you don’t work for them either do you? Imma go with… No Channel you don’t. So much for a positive feed from people. Any more question?

HOT will have more stuff added to it. I believe the LS (which we get every 2 weeks if Anet stays on schedule). will expand HOT into more locations equalling that 50 bucks you’re gonna have to pay to play HOT. (Yes i did just say p2p people ) But a lot of people seem to keep skipping over that part where:

1. We have no subs to pay.
2. The whole games is getting upgraded with all the newer features not just HOT. Imagine going back to a old area in the core game and you getting a msg saying: You can’t use this skill because you are not in HOT locations
3. That 50 bucks is going into the next (possible) 3yrs of fun we get to have until another expansion (maybe). And all the events that are going to be planned.

See things from different perspectives, not just your own

A lot of people are looking at this the wrong way, the more i think about it. Were calling Anet all type of names because of a price tag and lack of character slots, and how small HOT looks right now. A few of these events have happened before and some have been fixed, others have been neglected for a while. Anet does try to fix things, but as a lot of you know by now… Everyone can’t be pleased.

Its not that Anet is going silent. They have to go back to the drawing board and negotiate their deals with their superiors (yes even they are being ran by someone).

Flaming them onward isn’t going to help our cause or any new players that would like to join our community. A lot of you know too well things don’t get fixed in 1 day or sometimes even a week. If we do nothing to help Anet fix the loads of problems they face everyday other than ranting about mess ups on their half on the forums, then we might as well stop playing now and ask them to shut down the servers…

Which i know also a lot of you don’t want that cuz you enjoy the game and what it has to offer, otherwise you would have stop playing long ago. And if you hanging on because you waiting for something good to happen, you’re in the wrong game already.

Don’t be the boatloads of people that jump on the forums and rant how bad the game is, and threaten to leave because it’s content doesn’t suit YOUR needs… You don’t like it, leave! Nobody is holding you at gun point saying “PLAY THE GAME OR ELSE!!!”.

Now on the subject of HOT. HOT is still in the works people. We do not know everything it has to offer. Heck we don’t even have all the specialization up and going (waiting on my Thief class still )

Look at it this way: People want the expansion as a separate price tag. Reasonable… but you STILL need GW2 to play the expansion. Which i understand a lot (including myself) have already, but picture it this way. Look at how big the map is on GW2. You see a lot of area that look familiar from GW1 that are blurred out and were fully explorable by the end GW1 series (EotN), before the launch of GW2 right??? Now GW2 is out, and these areas are blurred out still but Anet gave us our first hint that these area will be maps at some point by just naming the familiar location (Ring of Fire for example, bottom left of the map). We may not be getting here anytime soon but, where we are going is into Maguuma Wastes. 2 new maps were the startup which people have farm the kitten out of lol. So there won’t be too much hype there. HOT is bringing 3 new maps which a select few only know how big. And is the starting point of new locations in Maguuma Jungle.

(This is speculation so i’m not jumping to conclusions). Anet at least read this and drop a bloody hint if i am somewhere near right plz!?! It will at least calm the majority down on how much HOT will offer as of it current state. HOT will at least open up the whole Top left or bottom of the map and will run off the LS. Which i figured since they revealed new areas with the LS progress, that’s how we will get new maps in HOT. I’m pretty sure Anets not just going to release 3 maps and call it a day. If they gave us the whole big chunk at once. Beta players (as some of you are currently), will storm threw the whole LS if it is available and spill the beans before we are actually able to play it Some like spoiler alerts, others don’t. I for a fact know that’s why Anet didn’t add all the stuff in HOT for the above reason. Not everyone keeps their exp with beta testing quiet. I read enough forum post to say this without doubt, even being a tester at some point for GW2 launch

In all folks. Anet may have handled the HOT pre purchase (from the Standard to Ultimate) options and what you get from them poorly. That doesn’t mean it can’t be fixed. A lot of people simply want a character slot kitten for the Standard upgrade. That can easily be adjusted, and if not… Anet you really might want to consider shifting the staff to what will benefit you more than harm your business with backfire.

HOT is not fully ready and the vast of us know this. We need to give it more time to see where it goes. We need to be more positive on this, then negative. When Anet decides to talk, they will. Hopefully sooner than later. Try not to turn this into another negative feedback post people, keep it friendly I want to hear what you think?

I’ve been a Thief player since day 1. A lot of people know me by Aura Slicer X on Ehmry Bay Server. I’ve had my little rant about the expansions price and all like others have. But i am a true player of GW2 so i will buy the expansion regardless if it’s 50 bucks. But my catch is…

Anet hurry up and get to Thieves Specialization so i can throw my money at you (Technically the screen) lol. Dying to see what they get

You should probably go read the other forum post and comments. For the bulk of us veteran players. Affordability isn’t the problem. I not going to go into details as everyone else has already stated above… but this expansion, especially with what it’s offering at Standard is not worth the 50 dollars to vets of the game…

You will not get another account. It has even been stated. Ex: If you buy the expansion in-game. The next time you log in. The upgrade will apply to your existing account. When HOT arrives you will have the expansion on the account. As far as separate expansion for gw2. We’ll have to see if Anet jumped the gun too quickly. Seeing how this is a backfire to 3yr veteran players like myself and a lot others…

Yeah and why don’t we just hand our old account over to someone who doesn’t care for the expansion with the serial no#. That way we can shell out the 50 dollars without guilt to buy the game AGAIN and have our expansion with it= Happy players… Man did i get kicked in the head??? been here since day 1

Haven’t been on in a while. I come back and see were able to pre- purchase HOT: Good! But 50 dollars for a Expansion for something a lot of us already own: NOT Good!

There better be more than a few maps skills and armor if you’re gonna get people to buy into this. Because you took big leap backwards with this one. Why do we need to pay the game again. If its tailoring towards the new people that will get into the game fine. But like me and others, we’ve been around since day 1 (3yrs)! This doesn’t do anything for us.

I get it… You’re trying to get your community to leave aren’t ya well you’re doing a fantastic job at that if you’re fishing for a compliment on this.

Clipping issues to the max. As much as we all want capes, imagine how freq you cape would collid with your char doing certain moves. And having on certain armor. Almost every armor in the game would have to be remade to fit with capes. As a ref: look up the Incredibles NO CAPES!!! video

I hope they fix this soon as i was there yesterday trying to get my black moa for my Ranger, which was my prized possession from gw1 named Shadow. Ugh sad day, had to settle for the pink moa for now

Apparently after the patch. The most reccent one. If you pick up the orb and run it to a location it will register the pt cap, but you will still be holding the orb. When you run over the pt cap area again nothing happens, but if you drop the orb and then pick it back up and run over the pt cap area. It will give you the 30 pts. You can keep repeating this process till you win.
Note: before i went to work at 4pm and played this map, this bug did not occur at the time. I noticed the bug at 3:40 AM when i joined the map. If the video is needed i can post it for reference. I’m also not sure if anyone else reported this either so if it has been sorry

After our most reccent update with the camera changes. The custom soundtrack for Battle does not play when i get into fights with 3 or more people. This was most noticable during WvW, when we ran into the opposing server and the music just went blank.

All of the other soundtracks/playlist work fine the main menu, boss battle, ambient, and night time. But something is wrong with the battle playlist. Note: I have not changed the playlist setting of any of the mentioned above playlist since the update. Would really love to have that music playing again when you get a chance

I just got that nonsense a few mins ago 3:25 AM. As it states in the email as a reminder guys if its not from anet, the warning will show in the email. Do not respond nor go to the site. Delete the email move on. Spread the word!

Gibson.4036:

I’m still not sure what to make of their decision to blow up the best received update of the first year of the games life.

Blog post, “People loved Zephyr Sanctum!”

LS2 “Let’s create a new zone littered with the smoking ruins of Zephyr Sanctum!”

I get it. If people loved it, what better emotional impact when it’s destroyed? But looked at from another angle it can have the flavor of thumbing their nose at the player base.

Not saying that was in all the intent. But it can easily feel that way.

I got kittened when they blew up the Sanctum. If it was anything anyone knew i liked most in the game its was the Sanctum. i could live up ther if it was real. I think Michael Bay is working for Anet. Too much stuff getting nuked (if you catch my drift)

Thank you for the quick response on my end. Was shocked when i didn’t get them asap

Just tried to buy Gems got the trans code… but no Gems. Already submitted a ticket in the support area.

Pretty much what the above said. If its not much you can talk about. No reason to jump on the forums just for us to see the little red arena in a post, just to get a disappointing answer. The lot of the things we were to expect were either scrapped or push further back. And that list keeps getting longer. It leaves us in the dark, more often then usually, and we (the community were so called), question rather or not is it even being worked on…

Yeah i agree with the OP. Anet putting too much time into LS, that its making the other content bland. I use to be a hardcore WvW player (scout), but the lack of new stuff for WvW has driven me away. (Same stuff different day: Killing Dolyaks Achievement) I mean they haven’t even adress the achievements for WvW yet and this was annouced as a “to be determined” almost a year ago.
I’ve resorted to farming Dredge bags for now and crafting legendaries. I’m hoping more featured stuff appears sooner then later. (Not including the September pack coming up)… If anything thats gonna make me stop playing this game. It will be the lack of armor design and weapon we can craft or get. Too much stuff now is becoming copy and paste to me now, and gem story only items. Not variety in my book. Just my small input

Apparently a group called Lizard Squad is shutting it down from the twitter msg’s i been reading…

narwhalsbend.7059:

This is a very wrong step in the right path.

There have been good scavenger hunts before, see:
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Thackeray%27s_scavenger_hunt
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Black_Moa_Chick

However, this is not one of them. Having to go to places to purify items is great, but forcing all of us to spent days running around cutting trees is extremely disappointing. In the hunts I listed above, we were made to run around Tyria to fetch different items, often having to interact with quests to do it. This would be perfect for GW2, but instead they decided to add ANOTHER grindfest, something which they say they don’t want, despite their actions.

Come on, Anet. I’m starting to seriously believe that none of the living world team ever worked on or even played GW1.

Off subject… I got dead weak off of reading some of the lines Thackery said when you gave him the wrong items in the hunt. Brings back good memories But yeah this hunt for all these materials is a little hectic not to mention we dont even know what the final back piece will look like. Im just gonna wait to see if its worth its when its finalized then think about crafting it.

locoman.1974:

I think it’s part of Anet’s plan to revitalize the ranger class.

You see, as soon as it’s available to players, I bet you’ll start to see LOTS of pale humans with white long hair named Sephiroth, X_Sephiroth_X, Sefiroth, Sephirothh, Sephhiroth, XXSEPHIROTHXX and so on. But to look the look, they will need abyss died trenchcoats, not ways around it, which means they’ll be medium armor profesions.. and well, what’s the only medium armor profesion that can wield greatswords?…

Thats awesome you thought of that

Aware of all of the simple builds people can use to get the achievement. This is simply put for thoughs that do it in groups. Good that people post there individual builds thoughs keep em coming

Wolfield.9812:

Put swiftness on. Took me awhile to get that tip!

You will need swiftness before you put on the goggles or you ll just barily make it and die hitting the edge each time

Ok as the title says. If you can get at least a few Rangers with Healing Springs, a Guardian, a Elementalist, and a thief with blast finisher (Cluster Bomb works fine).

What you do is have everyone stand near Quicksand (not in it). Have a few people stand in the quicksand but do not jump while people on the safe land heal you. Use your heal as well to keep your health up. The thief can blast the area heals to out do the Quicksand dmg. This is what we did to help people get the achievement.

We don’t need anything new till Anet fixes the crap they already broke. (which is alot already). Adding more races, ugly armor, clipping issues (charr you know what i mean)!

Although i favor new stuff and all the game won’t get better adding more problems to the mix…

Quick and Nimble with the Wind. My thief at its best

Haha i wouldn’t know i logged off 5 sec ago in the screen and my friends checked it only to be greeted with this lol I will say though: Dolyaks are now a playable…er supply

Might be considered a bug but it fixed itself right after my friend closed the guild panel. Logged at 12:39 PM clearly we would be in GW32 by then according to how long i’ve been off! Look at attachment

PS: I would have Yakkslapper times 10 by now

Thats what i was thinking Thanks for the reply.

Cant seem to find these gloves anywhere on any site and i would like them. Any know where i cant get them. If this in the wrong area let me know i’ll move it

Well that explains why all the items (laurel related) are past related items

My time with GW2 is ruined if Cantha isn’t in the game I played factions more then anything and its the reason i play thief now (formally known as Assassin) I’ll read more on this and edit…

Not sure to have place this in Bugs but it is relatively a Audio problem too. I’ve had the same playlist saved since i learned about the custom playlist last year, and when i logged in yesterday, I’ve noticed that the Ambient playlist will not play past the 1st song on my playlist, (It just keeps repeating)…

None of my files have moved from the drives I have them on and the playlist has remained unchanged for a while. I tried deleting the playlist and exporting it back into the GW2 Music Folder, still doesn’t work… all the other playlist i have saved work just fine. Any suggestion???

Me playing as a thief that doesn’t like the machanic of stealth (Condition dmg build with shortbow) I grow really tired of fighting perma stealth. I normally just don’t bother with them and use Tripwire to prevent them from constantly sneaking behind me Anet should really implement the “if you get atked while in stealth you get revealed”, as others have stated…

If it makes you feel any better, Ebay is only down here with you guys because our server as a whole lost a fair amount of guilds during the first season, and a few more as season 2 started. Also WvW basically comes down to “how much does your server prefer to WvW then PvE?” Were just now getting people back into WvW to recover from the amount we lost the first season.

Small 30sec video of the Asuran dancing to a dubstep song. matches pretty well with this dance.

I was on Itunes at the time when i happen to be crafting and the song came on hers the vid at youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4Po5QFVvFU

All i gotta say is may the best win. I already got 2 legendaries don’t need to be greedy

A Massive Headache.1879:

Uhh, Kiel was at the red knight, along with heal o tron. and evon shut down the gates on escaping people, he kind of deserved it. She also warned her fellow captains, which you can meet them all in the camps.

And on the Hologram.

But we ended up doing all the work for her AGAIN. As expected from a person who can’t handle the responsibilities of her elected position.

I hope she left you here dead when you died… She helped

I agree with the as well. Back to dolyak slaying in WvW

That had to be one of anets best moments in the history of GW2… Uh-huh
