Guild Wars 2

Dear Female human engineer in TRAP with the Dungeon Master title.

You are the best engineer I’ve ever seen, and I would love for you to tell me your build. I personally have no trouble pwning engineers, but you put up a huge fight, and got me (even though I started the fight by losing 95% of my health from falling damage )

I doubt you’ll see this, but HOLY CRAP YOU WERE AWESOME

Derv The Monkinator.4915:

Well…

TC can’t get badges.

ZING

HOW DO I HOLD ALL THESE BADGES?

Kerithlan.1659:

I get /laughed at all of the time from FA players and occasionally CD players. However, I also get /bows /cheers /kneels and so on from players on both servers. Both servers have jumped me while I was chasing vistas and both servers have allowed me to gather resources before attacking.

Holy muppets, you can /kneel?!

Derv The Monkinator.4915:

Looks over at TC boarderlands . . . oh, that’s why you DONT DO THAT!

Looks over at the map . . . oh, that’s why you DON’T DO THAT!

Openly talking about treaties? Hope it went for you as well as it did for us.

Derv The Monkinator.4915:

Just took a few towers in YB boarder. GW2 decides to crash when I’m commanding. GG Anet!

This lol. Can’t even log back in.

Shardain.6947:

Everyone’s just digging themselves into a bigger hole in this argument. Get over your guild drama already.

Sounds good, I honestly don’t really enjoy the forums. It’s always bad news, you know?

So you got 30 kills. Let’s say that’s each of us twice, if any of this is true.

You ‘wiped us twice’, if these stats were true, and more than likely we died, and we ran 1 by 1 back, because, as we keep saying, we’re not a mob.

30 kills vs 300 kills. The GODS mob was wiped three times at the bridge between greenbriar and the ruins, twice at DB, and more than that while fighting near the tower and camp, but I was eating food.

I also picked up these bottles of soda, 8oz glass bottles, where you return the bottles to get $10 back. It’s really neato. Futurama was on too, and after wiping out the trebs you guys set up north of DB, inside of the outer walls, I took a break. Ask anyone that was there, I was basically a war hero.

And you know why I love TC? /say chat was filled with, “Holy cow man! How did you do that?!” and “Good job Tigger, you really came through for us.” or “I can’t believe you turned that fight around by yourself!”

The pubs, the people you talk so much crap about, are the greatest community ever. More than 5 dozen people whispered me when I first showed up in TC, because they are a good community and they noticed I was new, and they ALL said hi, welcome to TC, we’re pretty awesome, try to ignore the RPers, and hail the Golem God.

I’m honestly pretty sick of all this trash talking, but if you look at the end results, GODS zerg took a single tower, and saved us several times from Yak’s bend.

Regardless of kills, and who pwned who, before GODS logged on, you had a keep, a tower, and a camp in YBBL, and we had a keep, tower, and two camps.

After GODS was done, you guys held our tower for 30 minutes, and we took it back, so the end result was we had a keep, a tower, and two camps. FA had a tower and a camp, because you guys wiped Yak’s so many times for us, that they came and took your fully upgraded keep from you.

End of fight:
TC gained and lost nothing
FA lost 25 income

Keep talking trash. See you at the finish line.

What mob? When does TC ever have a mob? That’s why I love it here, we don’t have a single guild nearly the size of “900+ (inactive) members”.

How are you talking about mobbing anyway? That’s LITERALLY all you do, you CALLED YOURSELF THE FA ZERG! Are you feeling alright?

Here, I’ll turn my title on, and you can ask anyone in EB. I haven’t been useful for the past few hours lol.

Where? I’m in EB repairing walls to achievement kitten ‘cause we won and it’s thursday.

So please tell me how you killed me.

If anyone is questioning how much fun I’m having, ask the Golem God, for as long as he is around in TC, I’m having a BLAST!

In all seriousness though, TC having RPers, and the Golem God, and I’ve seen at least half the commanders pull their weight and do amazing things.

I love TC, it’s a riot.

Anyone that says they are farming BLNT though, we don’t have enough members to be farmed. It doesn’t make sense.

Also, if anyone needs any strat on killing GODS, take out the Ranger Commander, and the entire mob will fall apart.

“Okay guys, everyone back to waypoint” is what happens in chat, every single time you kill him.

No I’m not spying, yes I was there that long to know.

Note: Seriously though, how did you kill 30 BLNT? We have yet to have more than 12 people going at the same time. Are we really that big of a threat?

etrigan.4213:

Great fights tonight on YaksBL.

We almost had your garrison, but the update screwed us over. By the time we came back the Benders had made it back and were defending in force….TC came in to harass also.

Lots of fun was had after 9pm also, as we pushed on TC a bit in YaksBL. Took a tower and then tried to ninja the keep as the Benders had trebbed down the wall for us from Garrison.

Wonderful threesome inside the keep. We finally got sandwiched by TC.

We did have a visitor with us tonight.

He tagged along with us for a bit, and strangely enough wherever we went BLNT showed up to the same spot eventually….WHAT A STRANGE COINCIDENCE!!

Sooo we had to hide, have our commander turn off his title and then we all waypointed. That seemed to confuse him a bit lol….

Hold up. Did you just… brag about last night? You took a tower while we were losing keep to YB, after spending 2 and a half hours trying to take it, and wiping on the bridge over and over again. Yak’s came to the ruins, helped with the tower, and you WIPED THEM, saving us from being trebbed.

Then when we were stuck in Bay, yak’s almost had us again, and here comes GODS to the rescue, wiping yak’s to save us from their trebs, and then I, personally, killed the three trebs you guys had up there. I have witnesses

As far as spies go, yes there was a guy in BLNT that can’t transfer to TC yet, and after GODS harassed him, he decided to spy a little, not that it’s hard, we literally joked about how you guys magically left, probably off to Rata Sum for a rally, and then you’d come back from spawn, and sure enough, that’s exactly what happened (except for the Rata Sum part, you guys probably just waited at the waypoint).

But as far as YOUR spies go, we had GODS tags running around with us all night, and guess how much we complained? Priide is a good guy, I wish he’d stay, but he wants to go back to FA, so in the mean time, he and a few others will spy. It happens. I do miss fighting along side him, though I can’t wait til he’s back so we can fight each other.

TC didn’t lose the keep after three back-to-back assaults, and you think bragging is the right answer. I’m so very confused. You take that tower GODS! You take it and hold it for the 20 minutes that you did. GJ guys!

EDIT:

Oh btw, he wasn’t confused, he got tired and went to bed. lol

Sincerely,
That one [GODS] elementalist from FA that just won’t die

For the record, he tried to hit hyleks a dozen times, and we killed him each and every time with zero casualties.

Sincerely,
That one Thief that played thief

For the record, GODS isn’t jumping up in tier. That was never the goal. As Papacooldown said, (and ISN’T THAT THE CLASSIEST NAME EVER?) 15-20 ex-GODS are sick of GODS leadership. We didn’t want to be blackballed in the same server, because that happened before. We just needed a change, and moved.

The Leader of GODS moving to TC was NOT part of our plan, and honestly, I think it wouldn’t be fair to FA to have such a large group of people leaving, and I’m sure the [FULL SERVER] agrees.

Regardless of the situation, GODS is currently in hiatus, and not a significant force in FA or TC at the moment.

I see that no matter what you post, the vocal community says the opposite. For example, if I posted about how much I love fractals, you would all say what I said.

To correct some of the less thoughtful statements, no I don’t want gold handouts, I said it was a common expression not a fact of life, rebirth was more of a metaphor than anything, why would I want to not be level 80 with nearly maxed out gear?

The bugs size and problem DOES NOT matter. If Armored Core had a bug where you couldn’t move, and it took a week to find and fix it, they would find and fix it because it’s a SERIOUS issue. If everyone showed up as pink and translucent, I would laugh so hard, and then it would be fixed, because it’s a bug that needs to be fixed.

The Asura ear gigantism bug was around for hours, and it got fixed. Things that are wrong need to be fixed.

Yes I know that content creation is the the same as bug fixing, but leadership tends to push employees into doing what they find as to being the priority. However, that being said, that’s a trend. I don’t actually work at ANet or anything, so I don’t know what the issue is, but somebody there does, and I hope they speak up.

@Two X Knives Style

To ruin a game 3 months after launch is a bit much too.

The game had beta weekends instead of a real beta, so the kinks never got 100% worked out.

ANet has just made a series of unfortunate mistakes, and they keep on coming.

I’m not comparing it to other games that have fallen apart. Guild Wars 2 started out well and promising. There is no reason to lower your standards because World of Warcraft isn’t enjoyable.

Guild Wars 2 has quickly become my favorite game, and I play it more hours a day than I should, but it is dying. Players are leaving, my friend’s list is becoming more and more offline, and it’s because of a few simple things.

- Guild Wars 2 doesn’t have updates that the player base wants

The most recent update releasing the fractals was garbage. The Fractals of the Mist levels are very interesting, and are much better than dungeons, but the game has core issues that need to be fixed before releasing new content, let alone content that is as buggy as it is.

The rendering issues aren’t new, not being able to right click to do anything party related in WvWvW, these are issues every player has that have been there since release. It doesn’t matter how simple or difficult of a fix it is, GW2 is the only game I’ve played that has had problems that happen to everyone that have lasted this long.

Along with depressing updates, fractals completely replaced all game content. All high level materials spawn in fractals, only the best gear drops in fractals, exotics are more common, lodestones from all dungeons, and you can’t play with your friends because of the level system, nobody wants to play on a lower level than they have to.

PCGamer had the headline, “ArenaNet responds to Guild Wars 2 Ascended gear backlash”

Massively, “ArenaNet responds to Guild Wars 2 Ascended gear gripes”

Kotaku, “ArenaNet Adds ‘Ascended Gear’ To Guild Wars 2, Upset Players Grab Their Pitchforks”

The customer is always right. A very well known and common phrase, helps us understand what is going on here.

ArenaNet isn’t our parents that ‘know what is best for us’. We are grown men and women that know what our favorite foods are, work 40+ hour weeks, and pick out and put on our clothes every morning.

Very few games have replayable content that is strictly PvE, and a game where you get together with friends is an example of a game that is not one of those. World vs World is a boat load of fun, but with the lack of fixes and updates for it combined with how it used to be you could level 1-80 and have the best gear strictly in WvW, it isn’t the same anymore. It’s also not updated in a good way.

Guild Wars 2 had a good thing going, that needed a little push in the right direction with some fixes and balance changes, that every game needs. Instead content that destroys all content in the game is released, and there isn’t anything left.

A redditor said it best:

• It puts GW2 in the ‘me-too’ category of gear checking, gear treadmill games. Not only does it undermine Arenanets reputation, but it also undermines a key differentiator of the game. One in which seems to be a key factor in many people’s choice to play the game. • For WvW players, it a problem because your best-in-slot gear may now be exclusively found in dungeons. • For casual PvEers, it’s a problem because you’ll be behind the gear curve, and more hardcore players will start to exclude you because of it. This means you’ll have to keep playing just to keep up. • For die-hard PvEers, it’s a problem because you’ll be pressured to do the latest dungeon (the one with the best stats and neccessary infusions) to the exclusion of all else. Otherwise you too will drop off the gear treadmill just as you do in WoW.

Nobody benefits, all suffer, the game dies.

Please fix the game. One idea would be for dungeons to produce worthwhile rewards, update world v world to do the same, and stop the new back items from having the steep cost of 250 t6 mat, 300 ectos.

Guild Wars 1 is still played, you guys have shown you can keep this game alive and well, so just step up and make it happen.

You made a mistake, and I don’t care if you admit it or not, just fix the problem.

Not the highest quality video, but it gets the point across.
