Guild Wars 2

Great move Anet, you really went above and beyond with your apology and it is very much appreciated.

BUMP, turning of V-sync fixed the map loading and texture issue!

I know for myself for a long period of time I was only playing gw2 a little everyday just to finish my legendary. The game is so unbalanced in pvp and wvw right now that I likely would have just stopped playing all together if it wasn’t for the desire to make progress on my legendary. This is huge mistake on anets part (and sleazy too in my opinion, this was promised content for HoT!) and will just further alienate the company from the community.

There have been a lot of pretty terrible changes made to wvw recently and I still think the current skill meta needs a lot of work. Aside from that though I think these proposed updates all seem very good and, I like and agree 100% with them.

Good work anet, it makes a world of difference when you “keep us in the loop” rather than just leave us wondering if anyone is paying any attention. I hope this becomes a more regular thing.

The barricades just need to go they just take too kitten long to get through and discourage people from even exploring the maps. I am attacking a barricade while I am typing this post, I knew I was going to have a lot of time so I came to the forums to complain.

This is my Mikasa Ackerman from Attack on Titan.

I have to agree that this system looks like an improvement over the suggested changes. I like the automated upgrade system but the new proposed system does lower the significance of supply caravans, well, significantly. I do hope arenanet takes a look a this tread and we can get some dialogue going.

But the question is why do we need that? We already can store gold, it’s just that it happens automatically and it can be accessed from anywhere and on any character.

I honestly hate the new gold storage system. I dont want to have all my gold be able to be accessed anywhere at any one time. i like to have a 20 gold reserve that i cant spend, and since the addition..eerrr should i say the removal of the ability to store gold in my personal bank, its way harder to keep that 20 gold reserve when equipping characters..

I kind of get where you are coming from, if you’re like me you want a way to keep yourself from spending your gold (which is easy to do if it’s all on you).

Might I suggest what I did while saving up for my precursor, I would put a buy order for Dusk up for 100G. This removed the gold from my inventory but I could also get all of it back at anytime by simply canceling the buy order and retrieving my gold from any trading post (there is no tax for buy orders). Once I’d get another 100G I would cancel the buy order and re-list it for 200G…then 300G etc etc.

I should also note as an added bonus that I got my Dusk for about 500G cheaper than the usual going price because I had a buy order for it at 900G when the announcement of new legendarys in HoT was made and everyone above me removed their listings .

I’m not an RPer but I sympathize with their (and everyone else s) complaints about megaservers. On my server of Borlis Pass we used to have a very strong server community. We had a tight-nit wvw group, organized PvE events (that people guested for even), and you saw familiar faces everywhere. One of the very best parts was Lions Arch though, it always felt like and episode of Cheers when mapping in, it was “where everybody knows your name”. We would chat, laugh, play games, organize events, and recruit people to wvw. That all changed when the fire nati….sorry….when megaservers were implemented. Now sadly the only bit of community we have left on Borlis Pass is our wvw community and it has struggled through hard times for a while now. I understand that there isn’t really any way you can go back on megaservers (easily) but if you could just make cities server bound instead of megaserver bound I believe that could fix most of our problems. It would allow us a sense of community again, we could chat outside of wvw, and we could even recruit newer players to wvw and joke around a play games. Of course those are just the benefits that I could immediately think of for my server but there are more! I’ve talked with many players about it and one of the biggest complaints I hear is how many of them have computers that struggle with or just plain can’t handle the mass amount of players in cities. I know RPers would also greatly appreciate this because it would allow them to play how they like to without being trolled and it would allow me to see my many server mates again all in one place. There is just no incentive to go to places like Lion’s Arch anymore since it takes longer to load (all the people), and it is unfamiliar faces every time I arrive (there is also the issue of Lion’s Arch still being destroyed but that is an issue for another post). I would really appreciate hearing a developer response as it is important to me and many others. Hope to hear from you!

DtC.4806:

oT on Fort Aspenwood would like to adopt a dev, we run NA timezone we start our raid at 6:30 PST and end around 9:30 PST. We are a hardcore, build oriented guild that require teamspeak (mic is not 100% needed, but helps)

We occasionally do GVG’s, but mostly we focus on zerg busting with 20 man groups. We help PPT, but our main focus is getting good fights. You can find our videos on youtube by searching Ominous Threat

We would hope that a dev would join us for the duration of the tournament so this dev could go back to the office at the end of the leagues and possibly get a new perspective on gvg/zerg busting guilds. We want to see this game strive, as it is currently on a downslope because a lot of people are getting tired of the same thing.

If you are interested, PM the character Ominous Strafe in game (our leader)

HI JUSTICE!!!

I should mention a few guilds on Borlis Pass while I am at it. Some guilds that would likely be interested in having you include [Oath] [VNG] & [Noob]. There are others too but they are the ones that immediately come to mind.

I just want to thank Anet as a whole here and especially those responsible for changing the colors to free. I had been pretty annoyed about the charge per color and lost pretty much all faith in you guys but you’ve changed my mind and proved that you do still listen. Though there are many things I’d like to see changed for the better but I do have to admit I spend a LOT of my time on GW2 so you must all be doing some things right

I’m sorry anet but you just completely missed the mark on the commander tag changes. Account bound is ok but 300g for a tag???? That price makes it ONLY accessible to hardcore PvEers, the vast majority of WvWers are not rich at all (due to the gold sink nature of WvW). Commander tags really need to made available for purchase with badges of honor, that way PvE can buy with gold (PvE currency) and WvW can buy with badges (WvW currency). The price could be something like 5000 (or more) badges and it would still be better than the current pricing system. I can’t even begin to fathom why you are charging 300g for each color, the community didn’t request multi-colored commander tags for vanity (maybe a small few) we asked for them to increase the functionality of the tag! Example: Commander can say in chat every once in a while “The blue tag is the front line tag, back liners follow the red tag!”. Colors in that case help make it easier to follow your specific tag while working closely together.

In closing I wont be buying the multi colored tags, they should be a free function of the tag as it is, adding a price (especially that high of one!) removes the point of it. If people need to follow me specifically they can just ctrl-target me, that is until you add a price to that feature o.O

Same here, I’ve tried guesting too it appears to be a problem for everyone.

I hope Anet fixes it soon figuring there is a time limit on when Dragon Bash ends.

Warmaster Gibbon.4765:

I was so worried Ehrmy and Anvil were leaving. I’m so excited this stable and familiar gaming style will remain exactly the same how we like it. Us dying, and dying. and dying. and dying.

You guys should let [Jynx] roll over you sometime, to make us feel better. If any of you drop a precursor i’ll split it with you 65/35%…

Don’t worry buddy I’m here for you. Let’s go jump off of Rata Sum some more until next reset.

-General Michael

Dang AR, way to put the pain on Ebay yesterday. I didn’t know you were capable of that.

(This is NOT a troll post)

-General Michael

Just a word of encouragement to AR, the purpose behind this alliance is for us (BP&AR) to be in 1st and 2nd. Your help has been invaluable and we will continue to need it. As far as who gets first and who gets second I personally don’t care as much, I am happy that together we can give Ebay a challenge. As long as one of us takes 1st (either BP or AR) because they took more of Ebay’s points than the other (and not from the other) than I shall be fine with that outcome.

See you on the field of battle,

-General Michael

Well tonight was fun in EB. Good fight ebay, and good job AR and fellow BP.

It was a pleasure to lead you.

-General Michael

Nice job out there today everyone! Thanks for following me as we took back our land and gave DR some pain!

-General Michael

Congrats to the BP defenders. We managed to hold off the DR zerg and take back our forts. It was an honor to serve with you.

-General Michael

Some of you people are making me ashamed to share a server with you…seriously lets stop complaining and fight, give people a reason to come back.

General Michael of BP

Honestly, we (BP) and DH got destroyed by DB. That being said having been destroyed by Emery Bay last week I have been thoroughly impressed with the way DB conducts itself. On a side note to my fellow BP members, does anyone else besides me think that Wintersday could be considerably interfering with WvW turnout? Just wondering if anyone besides me has thought of that and what your thoughts on it are.

General Michael of BP here,

I am glad to be back fighting against DB, if we are going to be crushed by someone I’m glad it is a server with honor. Seriously, I rarely ever find your people blocking the EB jumping puzzle and I have found my self fighting alongside you guys against the DH Huns in the EB jumping puzzle. Pleasure fighting with you and see you on the field of battle =)

Now on a completely different note, DH we have been together for 3 rotations now and been crushed every time. My feelings aside for DB, we (BP & DH) really need to stop fighting each other and focus our attention on DB. I’m not saying no fighting period, but lets focus the majority of our efforts against the bigger threat which is in this case DB. I hope we can reach some kind of informal agreement on this matter, also please stop blocking the EB jumping puzzle as that just makes us (BP) want to focus our time and energy on you.

I hope you’ll agree,

General Michael of BP
