Guild Wars 2

I really dislike those changes, feels like it had no thought put behind it and was not tested at all.

- Social awkwardness – I don’t like stacking in corners either but range of this is enaugh that you will get this all the time when you melee the boss.
- Convergence – there is nothing challanging about bunny or mossman spawning behind your back and instantly downing you.
- Toxic Trail – It could be interesting but it’s way too big, punishes melee too much.
- Flux Bomb – this is the only one that I like, some encounters feel more interesting with it.

It really pushed necro meta even further, why should I bother playing melee when I simply can easy mode everything on necro from range.

Great update, I love the new map and the story. The only thing I think is meh are the repeatable hearts. They dont feel rewarding, they don’t really give any rewards, they just unlock a karma sink and once you buy all unique items, they will only have 3 daily logs and if you for some reason dont have karma, there is no reward for you except that 3silver and 600karma, which is nothing when most items are 2-3k+.

Fix it please.

There are 7 days left in the season, you cannot get it now, you would have to cross 1 division this season, 9 divisions next season and because the achievements are split into 4 sets that are time gated you’d have to be careful to cross them at the right time. Assuming the legendary divisions count as crossing.

Division crossing achievment is not timegated, it will unlock next one right after you finish previous one, you dont have to wait for daily participator. If he can make legend in this season and the next one he will cross enaugh divisions for all achievments.

I think you can get it even if teq isnt on. Check this thread on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/4in2vt/having_trouble_getting_the_juggernaut_iii_the/ its for juggernaut but i think it works for dusk as well, unless it was patched.

I hope there will be a decent way to get parts from meta achievments if it gets locked. I came back at the end of season 2 and made it only for saph. I’m kinda bad at pvp and struggle in ruby (I duo que with friend for Stronghold) and I need to make it to diamond once if I want to complete the division crossing achiev for part 4, it feels so close and yet so out of reach for me.

I feel like hate for raids comes mostly from the term “raid”. It’s exactly the same as fractal and dungeon meta zerk lfgs. Nobody forces anyone to join such PUGs. Find likeminded people, set the expectations right and try it in chilled atmosphere. I did that with my guild, we wiped a lot, we tinkered our set up a lot, nobody got ever mad becouse they knew what to expect and we finally made it and it was the best feeling ever. Raids haven’t changed anything, there always were and always will be toxi and kitten players who think they are superior just becouse, just find the ones that are not and play with them.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

Legendary armor is a reward for completing the most difficult content in the game.

That comment may hold true if there wasn’t like 5/8 man teams clearing content designed for 10 man teams, so the content cannot be that “hard” its just maybe more challenging but its not hard, infact the hardest part is trying to find a non elitist group of pugs whom think they are better than everyone else.

He said it’s most difficult content which does not equal to hard. Raids are the hardest PvE challanges this game has to offer.

Caterting to hardcore crowd ? Are you really serious here? Do we play the same game ? We get 1 hard piece(not really that hard, some people scream hard just becouse its called raid) of content after 4 years and you call this catering to hardcore crowd? What about whole april patch that made HoT much more casual?

Also your “catering to hardcore crowd” was done by very small team (7 people I belive), much more dev power was focused on making HoT more friendly for casual players and much more devs are working on new content, including expansion#2.

I actually like it. It doesn’t bother me and I find it fitting the theme of the backpack so I would vote no for removal or change. However I wouldn’t mind if they added a separate audio slider for people who don’t like it, also while we are at it, add one for minis as well.

Hair style kit is 250gems, which at the moment is about 80g. You can get that in about 5h of very very very very casual play or 2-3h if you tryhard, I don’t think it’s unreasonable.

CrimeMaker.8612:

Hey man we WvWers have to do kitten ton of pve to craft legendaries so I don’t why is there a problem for you to do WvW. We WvWers find pve boring af too but we still have to do it. Also gift of battle is literally 2% of the legendary so if you can’t do 2% WvW then you don’t deserve it.

Why not make it easier for WvW people instead? Add a reward track that awards 1/6th gift of exploration. Doing it 6 times would be pretty much same time as 100% world but you could do it in WvW, doing what you like. Also a lot of PvE players hate map exploration for nth time, it’s boring as hell, especially renown hearts.

robertjan.2197:

Thanks for the feedback! How come that force is so much more expensive than bloodlust? Especially in wvw the 25 stacis take very few time.

PvE is where most players are and bloodlust is pretty lackluster in content where sigils really matter like raids/fractals/dungeons. In some of them it’s not even possible to get 25 stacks and they will reset when you die.

Aidan Savage.2078:

You should have been reading the news then. You had what, almost 3 months to buy a gift of battle with badges? Not anet’s fault you didnt buy it while you had the chance.

2 lines of text in 20k word essay hidden in WvW section with no deadline date given, how exactly is that news? I read every patch notes but I skip WvW sections becouse I don’t play it. Such important change that affects mostly PvE players should be mentioned in other sections of patch notes or have it’s own warning at least 1 week prior to the change.

Ad Infinitum feels legendary enaugh for me, it glows in combat, has particle effects and special ‘draw’ animation, more that that would be totally obnoxious.

I don’t know about Ascension becouse I don’t have it yet so didn’t pay much attention to players with it but it also looks legendary enaugh on npc.

I would totaly hate if they changed walking/running animation to floating, thats what we have gliders for.

It depends on content quality. If it’s going to look like 1-2 LS2 chapters then I’d be completly dissapointed, but if they released new map like DT or SW every 3 months (not necessarily with meta events like them, just with even something small going on and have story take place there) and like armour set, few achievments, I’d be more than happy.

Gilburt.9146:

Why are they even wasting time changing the acquisition of OLD legendary weapons. .

You need it for new ones as well. I’m glad I bought it one day before to finish Astralaria, otherwise I’d probably quit the game. I still want to make Bolt and even thinking about doing this reward track makes me die a little inside every time. I’m gonna save it for last and hope they get to their senses and revert this change, at the very least for some time.

I don’t know about that. It’s still very casual game, whole april patch was to make it more casual and more accessible for people who have less time (which I love). I don’t think they have forgotten about casual people just becouse they added more raid wings, after all raid Dev team is very small (like 6 people I belive?), they probably work indepently from other teams who work on XPac#2 and LS3.

They sometimes bring it at random times. I think it was on sale not long ago so don’t expect it soon.

Edit: it was 20% off during march sale (march 26th).

I read all patch notes except WvW part becouse I’m not really interested in it so it’s totally ninja change to me. Good way to promote WvW ANet, I will be sure to AFK as much as possible in WvW to get my reward track, I’m sure genuine WvW players will be happy to have dead weight PvE players that are forced to do the reward track now.

No way in hell. I was forced to travel by foot or by flying in TERA and it was so incredibly annoying after few times that I got myself premium just to be able to fasttravel to most of the places. So please, keep your immersion to yourself and torture yourself alone, I want to play the game, not spend half my time traveling. I’m fine with alternate transportation but not even 1 current and future waypoint can be sacrificed for that.

I’m sorry but this is pretty stupid complaint. You bought item 2 years ago and now it happens to be heavily discounted(back then 800 gems was probably no more than 70-80g). You still got to use it for 2 years. Do you also rage at game sales, that people got game for $5 2years after you paid $60 at release?

I don’t really care for tonic or mini but I would love to see a title for those collections.

SAB is fine as it is right now. I clear all modes in about 2 hours now after some practice and in that time I get 1 of each coloured weapons (except orange). Tribulation mode is also fine as it is, you can learn paths in 1 – 2 runs and then it’s just practicing the jumps. And all that cheap deaths and traps in tribulation is what makes it fun, either discovering it all on your own or practicing your jumping skills to clear it faster and faster each time you do it.

Also don’t get your hopes for World 3 and 4, they said in stream that it is very unlikely they will ever come as it requires them to have 6-8 devs full for over 6 months to create 1 world and it’s not resource they can put into side project right now.

This should not be allowed, it’s clearly exploiting a bug in the game. People are not supposed to get into an existing tribulation mode instance, it kicks people out for a reason. It’s also lame that people can get skins that actually require some skill by buying runs and getting tokens with this bug.

I’m sorry but this poll is just plain stupid. Players SHOULD NOT have to choose which of the promised content should be scrapped while they are actively working on Expac#2. Deliver things that were promised and advertised without sacrificing anything before moving to development of conent you they will SELL us later.

Take a deep breath. Its postponed indefinitely translates to they just can’t give you a timeline because they don’t know. They will have them done before the new expansion is released.

It’s a nice PR way of saying “cancelled” without using such strong word. You can be certain that we won’t see any new legendary weapon (except sb) before new expansion.

This is the most dissapointing news I’ve read since I started playing. Legendaries were one of the most anticipated things by me from expac and now you just throw them away.

Just scrap the kittening collection idea, it seems like it takes too much time and those collections are often bugged anyway.. Make nice legendaries and put precursors as RNG drops and make them ‘craftable’ in Mystic Forge like all gen 1 precursors..

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/retailers/ check yourself if there are any cheaper. I recently bought mine for about 23Euro in Media Markt.

If you buy it from sites not in list above(unless it’s a boxed copy) then those keys might not be legit(purchased with stolen credit card etc) and your account might be blocked and then you will have to talk to ANet/place you bought key from to resolve issue.

I think you can refund but only if you buy from ANet store but then your whole account will be blocked. Just contact them and ask for details, if it’s possible and what happens when you do.

My new Herald. Skins used:
- Herald’s Shoulderpad
- Leystone Breastplate
- Zojja’s Warfists
- Militia Leggings
- Ascalonian Protector Graves
- Light of Dwayna
- Blade of the Sunless

Colours used:
- Abyss
- Various shades of green.

Light of Dwayna doesn’t mix well with the tequatl swords. Also I would work on the skirt, looks pretty low level gear and – again – doesn’t mix well with neither light of dwayna and tequatl skins. That’s just my opinion though.

For the backpack I was thinking about Shadow of Grenth but don’t have money atm to craft it and I currently only own Chaos of Lyssa, Light of Dwayna, White Wings that were for my guard and mes :P. And yes, skirt is low level gear but others I own didn’t fit very well either. I like Brahm’s leggings but that would be 800gems for just 1 part, i’m currently debating whether it’s worth it :p

Starter Zone Bosses
Shadow Behemot – The coolest looking one, in terms of mechanics they are all kinda boring.

Bosses on a schedule
Inquest Golem Mark II – by far this one, the fight is just super fun for me, unless you stand at the edge and pewpewpew with skill 1.

Bosses outside of schedule
Never really done them much so won’t vote.

Orr Bosses
They are all the same for me :p

Dragons
The Shatterer

The idea is great. Many people would pay for that myself included. Buy holy *. 700 per one kitten item slot? Thats almost 10 $/Eu. No thank you, I will keep using my bank.

I really don’t get people who say some content will be ruined or trivialized like JPs. I mean, you can always chose NOT to use glider when you do JP, right? Also do you care that much if someone does 3 year old jumping puzzle with glider? I certainly couldn’t care less.

I’m sure gliding in core tyria will bring much much, more fun than “ruin” things. Can’t wait for it. -Hype intensifies-

I kind of get “harrassing” argument against duels in PVE but I don’t think it would be as bad as people exaggerate it would. I played a lot of games with OW PvP/Duels and such thing happened to me 3-4 times. I blocked those people and never heard from them again. I think it would add a lof of fun while waiting for eg. world bosses, you move with someone aside and duel while waiting. If someone wants to troll he will find a way to do so(look at whole Star Wars spoiler thing). I think the amout of possible fun much outwieghts the “risk” of few trolls that can be dealt with easily.

As for inspect I couldn’t really care less, I don’t think there is need for it in this game. However inspecting skins would be neat idea to check what someone is wearing without disrupting them with whispers and it wouldn’t hurt anyone imo.

How greedy can they get? They should get a nice check for good VA that goes without saying, but IMO they dont deserve any loyalties. If anyone, it`s coders/designers/artists/writers that should get them. Sure good VA is very nice to have but they are just reading lines that someone else wrote for someone else`s project.

Shen Slayer.3058:

I have yet to find a group that can kill it.

You are not looking “hard” enaugh then :p There are open communities that kill TT 3 times everyday. If you are on EU check gw2community.com.

Or just learn to read/pay attention to whats happening. In the dialog after successful fractal you dont even get to chose yes/no so that should be a giant clue by itself.

It`s not about performance, it`s about particle effects being all over place when often you dont even see what you are fighting even in 5 man group (eg. Archidiviner with guardian f1 is completly invisible under blue flames).

And nope, not playing on “phone”, but 24" FHD screen with specs enaugh to have 40+fps on max screen during big zergs and 60+ everywhere else

I wish there was an option to turn off all particle effects except for myself and even then some slider to scale them down. Particle effects are one of the worst aspects of combat in this game. Most of the time you fight a giant blob of flashing lights instead of actual boss, even in 5man content it`s very bad (guardian F1 says hi).

Either an option to tone down particles or making very clear outline of the boss so you can actually see animation and direction it`s facing would be perfect.

I`d like to see more emotes either free or paid but only if they are added as account unlocks and then are available as chat commands, not like dance pack vol1 where you get useless book that changes your skills and clogs inventory even more.

If they replaced 2 bag slot expansions with 1 storage expansion (both 800gems) I`d buy 1 pack at discounted rate of 2000gems. However I will not becouse for me character bound bag expansions are pretty useless.

Idea is cool but they could have chosen more interesting items to put in there or perhaps more packages with more variation of items to appeal to wider playerbase.

Behellagh.1468:

Basic kit on rares?

Whoops, I meant to write greens. They way it is now , point 1 contradicts with point 2 , my bad. And yeah, i salvage rares with mystic/rare/silver fed salvagomatic.

I usually do it like this:
1. Salvage all white/blue/green with copper fed salvagomatic (or basic kits)

2. If yellow item is below like 35-37s I salvage them for ectos otherwhise selling. If I feel like “gambling” a bit or too lazy to put so many items on tp I just salvage all with yellow salvage kit. except for daggers/GS/staff/sword as they usually are 45-60s

3. Sell all exotics on TP unless the rune inside it is worth like 1.5g more than item itself , if so salvage it with BLSK for 100% chance to get rune back. if you dont have BLSK just sell the item.

I dont use MF for gambling, like putting rares and hope for precursors as you have to be extremly lucky for it to pay off.

1. Maize balm farm in bloodtide, if people are decent you can make like 10g/30min but it`s affected by diminishing returns after about 12-13g/character so you cant farm endlessly. DR wears off in few hours.
2. SW events/breaches.
3. SW chestfarm.

also if you have too much karma/spirit shards you can convert it to gold.

It`s “lazy” mode, not “easy” mode. Why even play a game if you want everything handed to you? Besides:

1. You dont need ascended equip for anything except fractals, heck, you dont even need ascended armor there as you can get infusions from trinkets and stuff.

2. Exotic armor is enaugh for every content and is incredibly easy to get. You can buy it for karma (like 250k for whole set), you can craft it (berserker is about 40g which is like nothing), you can get pieces from dungeon.. You can easily get whole set in about 2-4h of playing and i dont think it`s too much to ask to equip new character.

3. Your example with AC is exaggerated.. 4 lv80 players with support set-up even in green gear wont need more than 30sec to destroy burrow unless they cant dodge and die there (which having better equip wont even help a bit)

tl;dr Your idea is bad.

1. Copper fed salvag-o-matic is a must have. It`s one of the items that`s constanly in use as you get a lot of trash items. Instead carrying a lot of basic kits you use this one little guy.

2. Living Story Season 2 pack. It`s pretty fun and achievments are really enjoyable to do.

3.Unlimited gathering tools. Similiar to salvago-o-matic, you will never have to worry about having tools to do your gathering.

4. Bank slot expansions / stack expansions.

Prices of those skins were beyond kittened and they were selling very slowly. I`m not sure how you wanted to profit of them even more.. If you buy skin for like 1k it would have to sell for 1200-1300g+ to even see a significant profit for such investment. People who hoarded them already could have made 500+% profits from them. You can say gg to your greed not to update.

I`m glad they are re-released. Now they are at normal price and It`s probably good time to invest some gold in them as they will surely get more expensive once out of merchant.

I`d love to see option to turn on orange aoe circles for every aoe there is. Sometimes there are so many effects going on the screen that they cover the mob and it`s surroundings and it`s very hard to see either animation or red aoe cirle. The orange circles used in newer content are so much better, clear and visible.

I agree with this. New LA looks very cool but the distance between NPCs is just too much. After having completed new JP and Karka achi I`ve only visited LA for fractals.
