Guild Wars 2

I paid for this game knowing that my class will be OP and they nerfed it! They destroyed my beloved Lion’s Arch! rawrr I can’t really play OLD contet I paid for!
Haha this topis is hilarious :-D

hahaa “Prepair to meet you doom” Thats what I imagined while reading topic)

I think it’s a great idea and it might actually reduce post count in the thread (with the same thoughts), because pople never read all pages and just post again and again what theay got in mind and it’s often something similar that was already spoken about. Plus it’s just good to have everything important in one place =)
BTW: the missing “[link goes here]” link is this one: http://www.twitch.tv/guildwars2/c/3283865

Oh…WoW expansion! …another one ?! I have to stop playing the game I like and switch to WoW right now!
No seriously… it doesn’t mean anything
Plus if you want expansion content so badly, you can stop playing for a few months (because you are obviously bored in game now with need for expansion). Than buy gems (which would be +- equal to payment for expansion), download patch and unlock story to replay – gg, you got a lot’s of new content for cash
Isn’t just LS much better ? They are giving us a lot (imho) for free every 14 days + they are still working on other features (maybe even on something big, but who knows )

maybe if they would work on 1 new mode instead of 5 (or more ?) it could be already done

Quick update:

Happy new year everyone! Now that we’re back from holiday vacations, we’ve got more improvements that’ll be rolling out soon. A handful of client improvements will also be making their way (soon hopefully), that should see a drastic memory usage drop and client frame-rate improvements, especially for lower-end hardware.

I’ll make sure to update once I have a better idea of what release you can start seeing these changes trickle in.

-Bill

tic tac …any news on this? or was it part of some other update without noticable improvement ? :-o

Sorry but for new players it’s hard to orient – they dont know where and what happened and if they will find anything…well there is no date or any info ( only image, some text and voice recordings) so they basically learn nothing about story and reading 1-2 pages about story developement on any fansite is better for them. For regular players it’s waste time… I will not open it again if there won’t be any exclusive content (please don’t!) and +1 to more story in game and less on web.
You guys are making original epic cinematics so why won’t you retell us the story in 10-20min video? :o)
I don’t really see any use here I would rather see that mobile/web app for chat and guild/event tracing

skeppi: nice copied QQ to every Skyhammer topic haha

I really like this map and all it’s mechanics. It’s something different than other maps and that’s maybe why it’s so great.

You guys think that whole LA will be really gone after this update ?
I think it will be almost the same with few unused buildings burned down, damaged walls,…
With total LA destruction they would have to change so many personal story steps and that is simly too much for 2week update. (imho)

As long as there is some actual story behind it I dont care
If it changes to sex and lies only…well…

Cynz.9437:

you are so proud of this kitten map that everyone hates yet you can’t fix 4v5…no ready button, nothing…i am guess ready button would be too “boring” right?

i just had 3 matches in a row of 4v5….YOU SERIOUSLY THINK THIS IS FUN???? i feel like i am being ridiculed here… are you trying to make ppl quit your game?

And may I know what would you do about it ?
I know it IS NOT FUN but there is not much you could do about it. Some ppl may angry-leave, some have to go afk and some got disconnected.
Even if you would make some option for match search like “allow join as a substitute” for ongoing match, you still don’t know if that disconnected player would come back – it’s ‘his’ match and his team after all…

This is not just a problem in Guild Wars 2, but in many other online games – like DOTA. I don’t remember game ending 5v5! (truth is I don’t play that much, but still). Even in a game like Sim City it’s not pleasing when someone claims city in your region, makes a mess and never show up again.

It’s actually known that new game modes + new maps are coming.
You can see some prototypes here: (from 32 min)

Looking great, right ?

I am hoping that some of them will make it to feature-only release at least first map for new game mode (like that “Arena”).

Well …honestly I lost all my hopes for better optimization a while ago. Could you be more specific – what we should and should not expect? Just to not get our hopes up

Dee Jay.2460:

Skill points are so abundant in this game now that having them feels absolutely redundant.

In total my characters are sitting on close to 1000 skill-points. Whatever are we going to spend them on?

Skill-points are just another meaningless currency in this game.

And how many hours ingame do you have ? 1000+ ?
You should not think only about “you”, but about other players aswell. For example – why should be a new player interested in SPvP only in disadvantage, because he don’t have skill points at all to unlock those new skills ? It’s just like a little step to the “classic mmo pvp”, where the time you spend ingame matters (e.g. better lvl, better armor, etc.).
It’s like a forcing new (but maybe really good!) footballer to play with a rock for some time…

phys.7689:

in gw1, im pretty sure you had to unlock skills for pvp

hmm, no ?
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Pvp_character
and that is what was so great about it :P

New skills are great! BUT why they have to be unlocked for PvP?! I guess really soon in the future, where it won’t be limited only to heal skills, we will all miss PvP only characters and GW1 :-/
It’s like a step back from e-sports. Imagine that you would have to unlock units in SC2 by playing XX of hours…seriously ?!

Some variation of TF2 King of the Hill or UT04 Double Domination could be nice!

It’s “Guild Wars” because of the lore. The “guild” as group of players could be aslo called “clan” or whaterver, but the true Guild Wars are (nowadays) far history… the battle between three factions.
It’s like saying that there should be permanent QQ in the FarCry :P BUT CoD players are QQing so much more! :P

Yeah as I said… I think there is a huge potential in this area :-)) It’s kinda pity there is no more feedback from players (positive or negative) and it’s buried in the “old” topics

More and more people are complaining about missing GvG from original Guild Wars. Honestly I am not really interested in 20v20 AOE spams (currenty played in WvW), but I do like idea of having some content where guilds can compete with each other – so why not in “PvE form” ?

Something like two guilds competing on one map (but separated, so they won’t be able to affect each other directly) competing in series of tasks and working their way to finish – this could include boss fights, jumping, fighitng vs ways of regular mobs (like holding a capture point) etc. and of course – time pressure – limited time to finish as well as seeing pregression of the other guild could be great “stress factor”. (my humble view)

I guess everyone could come up with dozens of ideas… but would you like to see this kind of content in the game ?

Silentshoes.1805:

Most matches will be close, you will lose about as many as you win, and your overall rank will tend to remain the same, month to month.

The bright light is that if you really do work hard and actually get a lot better, you will slowly rise higher.
.

1, Try playing some other games. Like SC2 (Yes I can compare two different genres – we are talking about skill x ranking). IF you are good YES your rank will be better.

→2, So you are saying that if you are a good player you will probably have better rank than other players and if you will get better you will also have better rank? wow! no kidding!

Trahearne is good character for me

Cyhann.2609:

Get a mmo mouse, and you won’t have that problem since your thumb should cover all your keys. And it’s more convinient. But normally you shouldn’t ever have to look at your
keys no matter what you use. Do you have the same problem with your skills too?

Hehe I have to agree! I had my left hand in cast this summer and I played only with MMO mouse and 1 finger from left hand =D I had walking + dodge + basic skills on my mouse =D Ofc I was not playing PvP, but it was enough for LW and some dungs

Hehe maybe not bad idea at all!
I am running a few thinly used servers under non profit licence (or our fansite purposes), but Iam not sure if 500 slot would be enough :o)
Payed licence for more space is not that expensive. Anyway I would not pay it :—/ (around 200+USD/month – I am just a college student :P) but you could always recieve donations and hope for some generous users)

Well after playing the last release and seeing the “preview image” to the next one – I can’t wait! Maybe you are already on the right track!

At least with story.. as I said earlier, I think the living story and living world should be taken as separate areas.

Just a few words I would like to say. I don’t think it’s necessary to write two pages about things that already has been said – it’s supposed to be discussion! :-/

It all started as “Living Story”, but than after some time the story element almost disappeared and now it’s called “Living World”.
In my opinion these are 2 different things -but both really important for success.

Living World is something that was promised to players since the begining – one action leading to another with visible impact on the world.
That is almost what events does and should do. We were promised event chains that can go on even for weeks or whole month. Most of those events are there, but just not connected as they should be and they reset all the time so players can run them again – or they ignore them totally.
This could be accomplished by adding just a few large event chains with some greater impact and connect them to event’s that are already in game. In the time you could always slowly expand this by adding something new.
For example the Fort Salma events or events in Gendarran field are a good start! I really really love those, because I can see all those things happening and I can try to change the outcome of those events.
BUT those chains are too short with no long-term impact.
Maybe a not bad idea to think about is to enhance this to war of “fractions” – where players would get penalties or rewards for keeping other fractions at minimum influence – like svanirs, centaurs, risen and you could see on some special map what areas they do control, where are their outposts and with help of the event system fight for those territories – which is also not a bad idea to attract players to all-lvl zones.

Living Story – for me it’s all about the story in the game. I do like frequency of the new patches, but you should not try to make everyone so “big and cool”.
Make 1-3 just as small one’s – preparing us and the world for the main thing (like chopping those forests in Kessex, adding few NPC’s talking about something that they saw/heared etc.), move it slowly forward and than tell us the story!

so… the last update is looking good so far!!!

I think it’s important to think about this as 2 different aspects – LS =/ LW.

You can be effective with any class you want – you just have to know how to play with it =)
Those ppl looking only for “war only” party just don’t know about that (or they are stupid, whatever)

hehe so all those “limited items etc” are not really that limited huh :-/ Kinda disappointed to see wintersday items in summer! I though it was supposed to be something special for actually celebrating the first WINTERSDAY of GW2
:-(
imho wrong, wrong, wrong ! :P

Just recieved some kegs etc.
So if I understand this correct – they removed our karma and gave us back consumables we used after patch ? I really think I had more than I recieved :P

dunno why two different topics were merged.
The first one (top) is about design of Zodiac weapons, while the second one is about HOW did they get here + speculations IF this is outcome of the cancelled Cantha expansion…hurray!

Ofc its relevant, there was no lore provided behind how the BLTC acquired them.
My guess is that they are knockoffs….its my understanding of the lore and i am stating a pretty good reason why.

sry I quoted wrong part of your post. Your reason why is because " they look different" – that’s why I said that this is absolutely new game and therefore it’s not imho really good argument

ZilentNight.5089:

The reason is that these are not the actual Zodiac weapons, these are knockoffs…

New game, not really relevant to this topic =)

I hope they will honestly explain this. They should not lie to core GW1 fans and GW series worshipers

And smarty guy could say " Why Kralkatorrik wont fly few times more over Tyria and turn everything branded ? Since they are so big why won’t they take a dump above all cities and kill all folks ?
It’s just because it is story! Yes they are real threat! And if you are not satisfied with dragon encounters well… It might get better in the future, but also not.

At first I thought that GW2 was released too early, but later I have realized that it can’t be polished, ballanced and completely finished without massive number of players.
It’s not just only what it is, but what it can be in the future
—-now back to Dragon Bash song loop—-

2000hrs / 10months
2000hrs ingame from total 7200
if you sleep at least 8hours/day – you were in game 2/5 of your all free time!
After that I wouldnt just dislike one game, but I would hate all games lol.
Which reminds me – South Park S10E08 =)

Just tried solo-instance few times to get achievement and I am sorry but I have to ask:
Why the hell are RANGER players being PUNISHED again ?
I am surptisingly referring to missing possibility to stow my pet even in combat situations – once again it’s not my favorite companion as it should be, but just annoying ball on chained to my leg :-/
Just failed to get achiev 3-times because my pet had great idea to activate mine.

++another thing is that sometimes when you tamper mine (and it changes to ‘friendly green mode’) it will change back to hostile in second (and Canach was just running behind me – so no rearm or anything) so you want to lure him through your mine and whoop bye bye achiev again! :-/
