Guild Wars 2

It happens a lot ( I mean empty platform) sometimes people dont spawn at platform and I have no idea why it happens. Once at start I did look all platforms 5+ people and one empty … Automatic fail

So what happened to living story ? Looks like even gm noticed this event chain dont make any sense

JBDanger.2603:

Haven’t people got suspended for going akitten this manner before? I think i read somewhere someone got banned for inactivity

Idling in game isn’t against the rules and it would be silly if it was. Stepping away from the keyboard and having a program (bot, macro, etc.) perform actions or play the game for you is a different story. The people who claim they were banned or suspended because of inactivity probably weren’t telling everything. I doubt the reason that popped up said it was due to inactivity.

You must be new here, arena net banned few people by mistake many times …

You server capacity is to low, remove overflow from game or bring back districts. (keep servers for wvw because here it make sense) How I am supposed to make teq rb event with 3 people on map ??

+1 , why create server when we sit all time in overflow, it doesnt make any sense

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

Actually it’s two minutes. And the map capacity of Crown Pavilion is limited to 75 before it starts to create overflows.

75 people, 6 people at a time, 2 minute matches = 75/6 *2 = 25 minutes

Obviously some people will finish their matches faster, but even if they finish in 1 minute that is still a 12 minute wait, and I doubt everyone will finish that fast.

some will finish it faster, and some will lose before those 2 minutes are up… and if they manage to hold out for two minutes, then they lose… which isn’t something they’re going to repeat often.
Also while you wait there is a bunch of content below you. Not everyone is going there for the 1v1 gauntlet.

I think you didn’t saw what happen when they opened Bazaar of four winds. Getting anywhere here was terrible. A lot of players will try to make it at start

Robert Hrouda.1327:

ZudetGambeous.9573:

According to the devs you will need to wait 25 minutes in order to get a chance at a 2 minute fight.

Good luck.

Could you please list your source? Being a person who has been highly involved in that content, I’ve never experienced, seen, or heard of a 25 minute wait time from any of our testing.

You should hire new testers then. Many times we needed to wait more time for example wvw …

I remember when server TC did get to fight some low pop server, here is how map looked all time:

8/5/2013 (D/M/YYYY) still bugged

CuRtoKy.8576:

Then do the grind then for the 16 achievements without doing the JPs there are 16 alternatives.

1. Strangers from the Sky
2. Voyage to the Bazaar
3. Ascent to Zephyr Sanctum
4. Diverse Trader
5. Grandmaster of Om
6. Sanctum Sprint
7. Parachute Pilferer
8. Kookoochoo the Incredulous
9. Poor Man’s Kite
10. Kite Bombing
11. Colossal Kites
12. Like Clockwork
13. Crowd Favorite
14. Crystal Obsessed
15. Pickup Completionist
16. Lessons from the Sky/Speedy Sprinter/Sanctum Sprinter/Kites of Iron/Kites of the Night/Best. Dive. Ever.

So yes you have a lot of options. The sky crystals aren’t JPs they are easy to acquire with very little jumping at all. You mostly have to be creative with your 3 abilities. Sanctum Sprint is easy as well and it doesn’t involve jumping except a few vertical ones (which isn’t complex). Best dive is easy to acquire and even if you aren’t that great there is a video by Dulfy that makes it easy and do know Dulfy doesn’t like JPs either but she managed to acquire these achievements. Kites of Iron is easy and it is simply jumps (something I know most people do in this game already moving around). When it shakes just pause and take your time. Kites of Night is easy too and the kite isn’t located at the end either. As you can see you can easily acquire 16 achievements and if you don’t mind grinding then certainly you shouldn’t mind having to try a few times instead of just getting the first time for some of these. Kite Bombing just requires some drops and jumping small gaps very easy to acquire the achievement.

Pretty much it is easy to acquire 16 achievements and for different people it might take more time because you might fail a few times or you just need to put a bit more effort (trial and error). So in a sense you can grind your way to it.

Lastly, the node isn’t mandatory at all it gives something for those that complete the achievements. But if you don’t have it you will just miss out on a few quartz per day which isn’t a big deal. If you wanted the boxes you can always grind the other materials to trade it in and you are willing to grind. On top of that, you can only make one charged per day and most people have an excess amount of quartz around.

I think you didnt do it, 50% of thing you posted are in jp ! ;/

7/16/2013 still not fixed

When I try to log in game game show error “your world is full,please choice another world” but its a login menu (you switch characters here) and I can’t do anything. After pressing ok game return to windows ….

Please search for threads on each issue and add your findings to them. Please go into detail on all issues in the individual threads as well. This gives greater visibility on each issue and easier for other players to find and add to the threads.
Thank you!

Seriously man, this is a bad joke. He gave a professional description, everyone who saw fractals once will know what is this topic about :O
To gave more details he would need to have access to game engine xD

I only feel bad for casual players that want to have a fun, being ganked by zerg is no fun!

Guys calm down, maybe that guy play on wvw that have hard time on even try of leaving a keep ??. Not all server are balanced here ;/

Greetings, many people complain they can’t end jp in wvw because they got killed by sneaky players just waiting for good occasion to kill players. On my server its worse, they just can’t enter jp xD. Of course “new system is balanced” … Here is eb (its looks like that 90% of time). Lucky for me i’m the blue. I don’t want to be in skin of pve players trying to get achievement ;(

Heavy armor users don’t have a big problem with thieves because they don’t take a large dmg spam, but if you run with light armor and you not have reaction time 0,000001s you will have a bad time. WvW thieves are much harder to defeat than those in pvp mode ;/

GW2 is not GW1! Therefor, NON-GW2 achievements shouldn’t count to the total points. Skins and titles are more than enough to reward GW1 players for their “loyalty”.

100% agree. +1

Those players have been rewarded with unique skins, titles, pets and a small AP bonus – previously 20 points, worth about 2 dailies… Now they did, well, nothing, but were handed up to an additional 480 points (worth almost a month’s dailies).

The achievement points should reflect only those things you achieved in GW2, not GW1 nor any other game you might have played in the past.

As for some people here suggesting, that new players cannot get in the upper leaderboard ranks, yes, that is sadly true, and one part of the problem there might be the points awarded by dailies and monthlies, yet another even more annoying problem is the short-term “Historical” content like Sky Pirates, Dragon Bash, SAB, etc. ANet should bring these historical achievements back in some private instance, so even new people can achieve those points and enjoy the stories.

Thus, I suggest, ANet should do those things:
1) Bring back all “Historical” content in private instances
2) Award 0 AP for HoM
3) Award AP for dailies and monthlies like Hobby Dungeon Explorer, i.e. you can get up to x points, i.e. 500, in those categories and further completions bring laurels, karma, etc. but count for 0 AP.

This way you only get those points everyone can get in GW2 at any time they joined. This way the AP score actually means something like “game completion”.

Skins are ugly, no one use content of hom in gw2

Ryuujin.8236:

I don’t think you guys appreciate how hard it is to earn achievements in GW1.

Take example legendary vanquisher – comprises 3 components (vanquisher of tyria/cantha/elona). To get one of those titles you must “vanquish” every zone in that map.

In GW1 mobs didn’t respawn in a given zone until you left it, most maps had around 200-400 enemies. In order to vanquish it you had to kill every single enemy in the zone, an exercise that’d typically take an hour or more. if you logged out, or died too many times you’d have to start over.

If you could kill every single enemy in every single zone in every single map – you’d get the legendary vanquisher title which amounts to 4 achievements; not even enough to get to the first milestone (5 achievements) in GW2 worth a “mere” 50 points

When you see a guy with 350… 400 GW1 HoM earned achievement points, he no doubt spent thousands of hours over many years earing that

Don’t forget to tell that we had 4x more maps to clean …

You know nothing, when we bought eotn we were promised a reward in gw2. Now we get them, after all its guild wars “2”.

I wonder how it works with different countries law,for example in Poland its legal to sell those things not as product but by “time you spend on archiving it/getting it”. You also have to pay taxes for it.

I totally agree with you !

Hello maybe you should consider adding new pvp mode good vs evil. Players would join a map and decide which side (for example Defenders of Pale Tree vs Nightmare court, both team would have only real players ) and fight team vs team with small drop like in wvw. Team size would be something like 30vs30 (for example) . It would bring something new to game since we are bored of waiting in wvw queue

FryChikN.5280:

that is fine and dandy… but if gear isnt the allure of max level what is? i understand there is pvp, but you can do that in pretty much any mmo. im not even a traditional mmoer, wow honestly bored me.

The point of the game is to play the game. If you need to be bribed with another +5 to your stats just to keep logging in, don’t.

End game progression doesn’t have to be the +5 sword of quaggan killing (I wish) though. The living story could have been an ongoing storyline (if it was left permanent) introducing a compelling story and a dungeon progression with heavy story telling mechanics. That could have been a decent end game.

Instead…gimmicks and weak story elements only tangentially related to each other or the main plot. What could have been Universal Studios theme park is instead the local carnival. (can’t wait for someone to pop on and say how much better local carnivals are than big theme parks…sigh)

Opinions differ. A lot of the LS storyline hasn’t really excited me, but I see where they are going and I think it’s the right choice. It’s a lot like following a progressive storyline in a TV show, like the X-Files or the Walking Dead, but without being presented with “every episode from the beginning” marathons – at least so far. But I do believe there is a benefit to watching the stories unfold.

As for permanent/repeatable content they have already stated that they will add more to the LS, the last few chapters have been in development for months and you can’t just change things around at the last minute. Even so, a lot of really good games that have repeatable content – Rift, SW:TOR, TERA, TSW – that have come out recently have not been as successful as their creators would have liked, at least it seems so based on the games going F2P and abandoning the monthly sub model.

So GW2 stands out from the crowd because it doesn’t just stack new dungeons on the old, they are attempting something that doesn’t really exist in MMOs and appealing to the SPRPG crowd by presenting a world that changes over time, an experience that has been largely absent in MMOs, at least in this form.

I admire Anet for taking risks and trying something different, and since it started out as a non-sub game they don’t have to change horses in the middle of the river, so to speak. It seems to be working out better for them than the traditional style of MMO, given that new releases have gone F2P or started out that way, and several planned releases have been delayed or canceled – what do you think the chances are the a game like TESO is being reconfigured for the F2P model or quietly abandoned altogether?

I think the traditional MMO is coming to an end, and Anet is trying to move on to the next stage.

Most of games you speak about failed long before gw2 release …
GW2 stand out of crowd because of world of Tyria which is pretty nice, also like it or not but many people hope that it will evolve like guild wars 1 did. (In my opinion it had most fair pvp system ever)

I play on tarnished coast, dont listen to those guys above, most of maps are empty on every server. You will find people only in places where you can make money …

tigirius.9014:

This game is basically digging it’s own grave. the rewards system is nonexistant, we’re still waiting on the huge “kitchen sink” ui updates that most games have by now in their development stages, and the imbalance with the classes in pve and pvp has been severely understated for a long time now. (some of these things they are working on but “will it be enough?” I believe is the question)

So some of us have been watching from afar to see what they’ll do next.

I agree with you, anet dont fix bugs that happens since beta …

To be honest I think gw2 is alive only because there is no big mmorpg coming that could take players away from it.

It happens , they also love to get stuck on way and not move until restart >.<

Don’t fix me i’m not broken >.<

LordByron.8369:

OP is too concerned to preserve is top 500 ranks to the point to ask a change of rules to help him keep his rank ____

I think you should play for fun and not for a rank….

There problem start, they don’t play here THEY LIVE HERE !!

Jeremiah Lee.2764:

It is able to be completed without seeing the missing pattern?

Only if someone memorized all possible patterns or copy them from wiki. But seriously do we have to refer to 3-pt pages because you can’t fix dungeon ?

Ronah.2869:

Kraag Deadsoul.2789:

I would be irritated. I don’t want it there at all. Aside from the clutter/aesthetics issue, it’s also a functional/game mechanics issue. I don’t want all that junk text (and, yes, for someone who plays the game primarily for WvWvW and/or PvP, it IS junk text) obstructing my ability to aim an arrow cart targeting reticle, for example.

I dont give a kitten about PvP or WvW. My reply is from a personal perspective like yours so you shouldn’t feel offended anyway

This guy is right, this text is junk, there should be option to disable it !! Option so people who like it can have it

Can we get dance animation for our avatars like holograms in aetherblade retreat dungeon ??

Twonineone.3490:

Braxis.8396:

You can read on game box that “your decisions will change a game world”….

The dynamic events-world. In the story dungeons you take no decision on what will happen

What you change with dynamic events ?

Hello I done achievement “questioning Mai” but my total achievements track “against aetherblades” didn’t count it. It’s show 9/12 but I done 10/12

Its looks like aetherblades chance to spawn was decreased

You can read on game box that “your decisions will change a game world”….

At end of story before fighting Zhaitan they say that our hero (read player) united them together … WTF ? I never done anything (or no one in my team) to unite them and poff magic happen ? They are back as friends again ? Does player decisions have any affect on anything in this game ?

Last fight with Zhaitan was a kind of fight which never should happen, I excepted more from last fight vs boss, instead even fighting with his dragon minions is more exciting. Animations and other things are ok but way we defeat powerful ancient dragon is just a joke, 3 min to take dragon stronger than god ;/

Well I don’t demand that they change it right now, maybe they could do it with new expansion or add sub title to game(below guild wars 2). I know that some people will say “why you left gw1 in first place?” but after dev abandoned it(no new events, new campaigns) and I can’t count for new content I am kind of stuck here ^ ^

Hello, maybe you should consider change a name of game from guild wars 2 to world of guild wars (actually its serious I don’t want troll dev) . This game take place in area we know well from guild wars but its hard to call it continuation since its very different from what we saw in first game. There is no strong connection and as a new player I find it strange that I can’t even manage my build (which in my opinion was best part of gw1) You promised us world that will be changed by players but it doesn’t meter did we save or not village, after 20 min it will be attacked by same boss we just killed few min ago. Lore which was a very good in gw1 here it fells like it misses some part (We miss information like “why elder dragons are real threat ?”,also game mention nothing about our avatar from gw1 (and we saved world 4 times) I liked first part of story trough (before you join one of factions (vigil, etc)) . Pvp which was great in first part of guild wars here fell unpolished , (2 modes spvp and wvw) I know that loot of time passed but dev choice to call it gw2 really makes a lot of things confusing.

Ravij.9856:

No.. No Mounts please. And i’m glad Anet said No and Never. I was a mount collector in WoW.. it was too much trying to stay ahead of the collecting curve. I was top mount collector for overall collection for both factions on my server on WoW.. and drop rates on some mounts were just ridiculous.. The Love is in the Air Rocket still eludes me since it was put into the game.

Where did Anet said no ?

I found very disappointing when I fought vs zhaitan and poff, 1 hit and he’s almost dead … This is powerful dragon ? I fought moobs stronger than this 90% of time. Elder dragon most dangerous creature in Tyria is defeated in 2 min… Ending sucks to the max.

Hello we need more maps for people on lvl 80, cursed shore is boring because from lvl 40 we spend time only fighting Risen, give us more maps !!!

I am not sure how it looks on other servers (I play on NA tarnished coast) but here I got felling that every low lvl map is empty :O. I meet 2-3 people but to be honest I excepted to meet more, I don’t find it fun to play solo in mmorpg. Only maps that contain big bosses (shattered, shadow behemoth) got a few players that wait for boss to spawn. I think the most disappointing is wvw where I need to wait 30 min to join fight ;/ I was hopping that maybe I did miss some maps and friendly players will tell me “man you missed 6-10 maps” but well looks like I need to go to suggestion forum and spam then asking for new map

Hello I played this game for few weeks and are there only 2 maps (cursed shore and southsun cove) where we can run with full power ?? Is a 1 year old game having only 2 maps for fully experienced players ??

Ayrilana you again think only about it from your point of view, try think as one of my friend who tried make puzzle for 2 hours, and when he almost reached chest did get d/c during jump (died) and had to do everything again. Mesmer portals were add to game because game makers did know that many people will have to big problem to make it on their own.

You’re thinking only about yourself, not all people got a good computer with high fps, most of those people using portals make jp only once and then prey that they will never have to do it again. I know that there are young people with great skill that make all jp on first or second try, but if you get old one day and your hands will shake and not always act like you want you will see why people love mesmers and their portals.

Actually I was thinking my account got blocked access to guild vs guild mode,now I know I was wrong because there is no such thing. BTW if you type guild in search then you will see why I didn’t found what I was looking for(200 topic about guild items stolen etc I didn’t want to read those things) Moderator can close topic (no idea how to use this forum interface sorry)

Mercury actually I wanted to watch guild vs guild in gw2 ( I know how it looked like in gw1) but well seriously there is no guild vs guild ? After all this name is called guild wars 2 !

Hello im new, I went to pvp area but I can’t find any information about guild vs guild pvp mode. Arena for guild vs guild need to be entered from guild panel or from other place ?
