Guild Wars 2

Tifa Lockheart Ex.9614:

Nope!, I gave up on this game 6 months ago and so glad I did!. Huge fan of GW1 played for 6 years, GW2 isn’t what I imagine it to be aka boring with very little feeling of accomplishment (except for fractal level 50 before they lower the level).

bump this is my story =/ I even remember the patch the sealed the deal killing the last sliver of hope I had held onto for so long for this game. I have not played in 6 months, and only now have I logged into the game to help friends and give out items. But I can hardly even stand to be online for more then 25 mins in the game.. My own personal opinion is this game is just not for me anymore and no longer fun or what I seek. Real shame I feel like their is a huge internal disconnect over at Nsoft/Arena-Net the art team and follow threw on all these great things seems to end up taking a back seat along side common sense for a quick fix and a fast $$$

yup just add in a pop up box to right click and consume all this idea should have been in the game when I was capping my drinking achievement

I want to be a cute little Skritt!! who needs to grind when you can just steal a shiney

oh even better idea make a new class to go alone with them kinda like FFXI blue mages they can steal skills too! Skritt uses hundred blades with a dagger Norn takes 9999 dmg falls to the ground crying

Daily system is garbage, I would be in full support for them just to tack on a bit more work and rewards to the monthly system.

And to those who say you don’t get burned out from doing these or not fact remains is they are unique rewards for time spent on any given day that over time add up in your favor.
Those people with 12k AP might one day reach a milestone for some unique item. Would you all QQ that the OCD people who put in all this work are being unfairly rewarded or better yet does anybody who even plays this game enjoy what the daily system offers you the player and the life of this game!?

daily system is garbage its just a time gate to get people to log in everyday to get more eyes to peak at the gem store if anything now there not rewarding they are not fun
they have flip flopped and changed this system around a few times over since launch here’s to the day to when they just ditch this ugly system.

Yeah this entire pink tier of gear since first being introduced /sneaked into the game, as a last minute decision has spoiled the game for me overall.

I have zero plans and I mean ZERO to even bother crafting any of this ugly junk, still reeling from the fact not only is it more grind then ever but all of my exotics I worked for are 2nd best in DEVS eyes.

If I am still even playing this game within the next year which I doubt I will be I would not bet against them hinting at more legendary type items we all get to forge, why even bother with this just seems like a extra grind for us all till they feel like adding in more tiers.

It’s like when will the new content come out that makes use of this new tier anyways!? new content that was tougher to accomplish with exotics already in the game would have been more welcome then this tripe.

Mesmer magic gives the illusion we level up and change our gear! psh everybody knows legendary stuff is on par with the starter gear… * sarcasm *

Really though this kills me too, shield skills should match the shield you are holding but even if that is a ton of work that’s okay but this should NOT be a thing for the legendary shield period like REALLY REALLY one shield skin would not be such a daunting feat for a bunch of pro programmers..

I’m sure you guys will all be taken care of and everything will be fixed and working as intended soon enough!

Not trolling you guys but $%@% with A-nets logic these days the fix would be removing the items you got from your hard work and telling us to re- run it all again post fix to get credit… Crummy things like this happen so often to begin with and they wonder why people feel sour about Living Story content.

GL to you all on doing world 3 Trib mode /cheers hope that is bug free for you all

Hey folks,

Just a bit of clarification here – Items that were soulbound prior to the change are still soulbound.

I hope this clears things up.

I suppose I’ll chime in here along with everyone else. What a load of b.s.
The way it was explained over the past few weeks was that all items that previously had MF on them would become account bound. Pretty much EVERYONE that plays Guildwars 2 was under the understanding that this meant all your excess equipment that you were using, since they would have NO NEED to have multiple sets of DPS equipment on one character.

Unlike some people, I didn’t just have multiple sets of armor on one character, I bought extra character slots (I have TWELVE SLOTS NOW, 8 of which are filled), and made new level 80’s for the purpose of having magic find farming characters. I didn’t like keeping piles and piles of extra armor laying in my bags or bank soaking up space, so I figured an extra character would be easier, and it was.

But now I’m stuck with duplicate characters with the same armor specs and a bunch of soulbound equipment, including a metric ton of ascended items that are completely worthless now.

It would be really nice if Anet made good on the ‘account-bound’ equipment, even if that wasn’t what they originally intended, because that’s how it reads and how everyone understood it. Because, seriously, if you have equipment that is NOT soulbound, with MF on it, what is the point of making our ‘sellable’ items account bound? Either way it seems like Anet was kind of screwing us.

It’s kind of like Anet is saying, “Hey, you know that spare, unused, unbound equipment in your bank? Yah. Now it’s account bound. You can’t sell it. Oh yah, and all your spare equipment sets? Still soulbound, and they can only be dps.. so, yah, have fun with multiple sets of dps gear there…. good luck, thanks for spending all your money with us.. suckers!”

I suppose I’ll think twice before spending more money on items from the Gemstore. I’ve literally spend hundreds of dollars supporting them, but we don’t seem to get the same kind of respect in return.

This sums up my feelings in a more polite way… But there is a great urge to rage over this change still! Like what did they think adding ascendent armor and weapons into the game would be a band-aid for making some items we worked for and were told everything would be taken care of with as little interruption to us as possible.

The more and more I think about this just eats away at me idk if I even want to play this game anymore… those words are not said lightly either this pink tier of items now in the game is poison to it.

This entire situation just Kittens me off!!
Fine you guys want to remove magic find from the base stats on gear and ASCENDENT stuff we worked our butts off for…. Okay great but the way you sold it to us and the way it was clearly told to us items would become account bound and we can pick new stats for that gear to become soulbound again.
Well KITTEN you guys DEVS this is nothing short of a slap in the face to me yeah those magic find items I worked for USELESS to me in this state… I worked my butt off for this worthless pink tier of items you added behind $^@!# time gated daily system and tons of fractles run’s FOR WHAT !? just to get more soulbound items on a alt’s who I enjoyed playing so much in fact that I already had extra gear sets on hand including ascendent items for my favorite builds.

Great job really I wanna see what you guys come up with next to top this blunder cause no matter how you word this now its just pathetic…
Kitten this game you have one really angry customer over this GL with every seeing a dime of my irl money again….
Buggy kitten game DEVS only seem to care about sucking money out of us from weekly gem store sales anywyas…… Solid Logic A-net players work for items then you make said items useless to them oh but wait there not useless right I can like get an ecto MAYBE from the armor and omg like 4 silver for all my ascendent gear too!! genius………………. ^%@!

this patch is just so so… subtle yay. Not sure if this is better or worse overall then Liadri camera views in that dome.

You made to many good points and I strongly resonate with most of what you have said =/ just hope players like us will come out on top in the long run otherwise I can’t say there is much of a reason to continue playing like this

Monthly seems like a perfect deal for all players it gives us all lots of time and freedom to work at those goals where as the daily system in itself is a mess…. Cant log in daily or play longer then X amount of time well to bad… I just wish one day they will put a end to this daily system and give players more slack to earn feats in the game more attune to how they want to play. KEY WORD HOW THEY WANT TO PLAY what is fun for them. Daily system hinders those who cant put in time needed and it hinders those who want to put in lots of time and effort willing to work extra hard for w/e they want

traits in BM to make our pets inactive and un able to take or dish out damage it just buffs the ranger spirit bonds the Ranger gains the full effects of his or her pet maybe even F1-F4 can be unique skills you gain from having picked a pet to bond with.

title for player hours!? XD would be either a mark of prestige or shame for some ULTIMATE SLACKER , Divine Basement Dweller ummm Greenhorn Unicorn

I have perfect vision and even for the Liadri fight and combat aspect in this game much less always searching for my mouse cursor well… I could only imagine how annoying it must be for you all. But if it helps or not change your video card settings to work with colors you can see more clearly my Liadri fight was a bright pink screen and bright green circles and effects =/ I had to take lots of breaks still just staring at the mess of bright colors.

But yes I give my full support to this forum they could add a color slider under the option to disable area effect rings even I’m sure that would be a good first step but really be nice if DEVS reached out to players like this to learn from them on just what needs to be done

I would just like to thank you Dulfy for all of your hard work you really do this game a service to bridge the gap of things I often time feel A-net leaves out or just does not seem to make clear on just what they mean.

Anywho thank you!

Yeah they really need to be an account bound item same with accdent gear, I’m sure they just want us all to grind and gold farm our way or buy lots of gems to be able to make use of an item on another alt. Why share a item you earned and worked for when you can just go ahead and make more… matter of fact make them for all your alts too. They time gate this game way to much as is it would be really neat if you unlocked a legendary via AP points when you toss the items in the MF, so you could use them account wide like the zenith skins work.

I would not doubt that they would add in another 10 or 20 points for reaching 500 on a craft maybe more just thinking of the new mini set 2 they recently added in..

let us use mini balths and Jennah in the MF for a chance at a account bound mini of our choice in the game special or living story related !? or turn them into laurals or tokens for other items maybe Fused weapons but even better just tossing the idea out there Frosted weapons you know like fused look but with ice? idk kinda sad you can not do much with them other then toss them onto a pile of others like it though

Shut up and take my money! HERE add this feature just cause it’s fun You rolled a tough Fem charr and spent 2345 hours on it great here is a unique potion of chaos magic fine tuned from your local asura genius blah blah blah… Poof now you are a cute little Quaggan errr human female!? or maybe a asuran male!? w/e you want enjoy here is a map to your new town and a new story for your life yet to be forged but un rewarded again with those oh so epic Basic level items you get for story rewards or killing some giant #%@ undead dragon ENJOY!

I like the idea of tough semi skill based or heavy teamwork achievements so long as they are well thought out and FULLY tested! And here to stay maybe give them tiers of rewards too so all can take part in them. I did Liadri 8 orbs and beat her a few times but not even for a second did that fight ever feel thrilling to me or all that great, there was noting about her I was invested in other then it just being a name on my list to check off…
Maybe they could try to introduce things like this in the fractles or Wvw feats a server could aspire to as a whole for that week! between a horrid daily system in this game and getting living story thrown at us till we are worn out from spamming the F key, well fights like this or events would be a breath of fresh air to the game. imo that is C:

Cap the daily point gain you can earn from the daily system to 5 you can mirror it to pvp objectives as in they are short, but sweet and well within reason and something you earn just by enjoying the game.

Having kills be split into various zones like small creatures, shiverpeaks, kryta ect ect or crafting items MF or salvage items much less buying karma for me only gets done if it is for the daily…

That’s great they are trying to get the players to experience certain parts of the game but really I just hate the entire idea of a daily system what about just playing the way you want to…. They seem to gate every reward or fun event to be a daily now and it is so boring…

if they wont remove it just to time gate us I would at the very least pay for a gem store item to unsoulbound items to make them account bound

Make it last longer give it a timer before it can be used again equal to the duration of its use but REMOVE the tonics look if you are killed. that way it gives you a good reason not to die while doing things reward you for staying alive by enjoying your new fav toy

Denial Of Service.5732:

were you here in the halloween cash grab? theres you answer if this is the most controversial update.

to answer you i think the most awful thing is you dont get any title for completing this. and thats what i find sad.. very sad.

Halloween was awesome, the skins were easy to buy off tp for less than 50 gold each during the first 5 days, the costumes and other items are still well worth the price (well not the finisher unless you kept one for now) and the clock tower was the best piece of content that is/was in GW2. Karka event on the other hand…. well lets just say that even if everyone who got kicked got free 5 legendary items, it still wouldnt have made it ok.

Halloween to me was the best event to date since the game started down this dark dark path of living story and other events to follow it.

you got to enjoy some lore and story, we had a dungeon and a world that progressed with us the rewards were neat the mini games were a blast and they took the time to add in a bunch of other hidden content on top of it all. they gave us a purpose for those useless tonics and booster we have not a clue or use for and well hard to sum up my feelings on that event but 10/10 as where I would rate this Queens event to be a 4/10………… go away Queen you are drunk I almost wish at this point they off her and some tricky mesmer gives her a disguise as a bad guy only to see Logan charge into battle and slay her only to learn the real truth…. but hey getting players to rage and give feedback is nice. Maybe give players a survey to take on what they would like to see in this game what is important to them!

Crise.9401:

Your point is valid if you isolate the Gauntlet and go for efficiency in terms of time, but it’s a choice that you don’t have to make

Not really. This update is temporary, which means I only have a limited time to vainquish the gauntlet and gain its unique rewards. It’s not a choice I made, well, not entirely, it’s something Arenanet forced on us.

If it was a permanent challenge, I would fell less stressed to complete it as soon as possible. And I have a limited amount of time to play too, like it as been said.

yup could not have said that better myself
at the very least you have repair bills to tend to much less I end up having to waypoint and run back 90% of the time on top of not being able to play as much as I would like I end up having to buy some tickets now…..

nope they do not impress me one bit, I do like the sound of where they are going with the idea of the new to come legendary items though. I like the idea of doing a epic story like event chain or a number of tough tasks /achievements to earn and mold into a legendary item.

Allow players to be able to race change at some point cause there are to many soulbound things as it is, fractles levels not account bound. Legendary weapons and soulbound accdent trinkets i.e. neck and earrings soulbound items.. The personal story alone is not a good reason to tell players this wont be an option anymore cause you will not be you anymore… This item could be highly priced with strings attached and it would still be very popular and a huge success in the gem store. I for one would welcome race changes, not like personal makeover kits are really all that far off from a Race change kit I mean you can change your sex height and body shape ect ect and that is just your alt ever evolving to suit your needs. The people crave freedom not being told no or just re-roll to another alt, I could understand though about time gating this feature if you should in fact add new races to the game at a later date though.

anything bought from the gemstore needs to always be account bound period. The idea that you use an item from the gemstore then it is soulbound to just one alt on your account is absurd. If you bought more then one of the same item because it was soulbound theres still no harm with that, say they release new race or you happen to find a profession you like more just move your items on over to it and enjoy them.

DX 11 support would be amazing even if I had to re download the game all over again for a fresh install sure would be nice over DX9 performance I get with my specs on this game. _

Hi I would just like to know if you moved the Activities section to another part of the forums? It use to have it’s very own tab as in Dungeons, Suggestions, classes races ect ect… but I no longer see it on the home page. I have been searching for some Dev posts that were unique to those forums too

I refuse to get a legendary till they have some kinda skill or epic based content to earn them with, I would like to see them roll out some content that tests players builds and skills and rewards those who push forward. Oh and don’t get me started on fractals I’m just 19 shy of being at 500 runs and being 1 shot from anything is hardly skill based fights fractals are pretty tame and easy still. Give us content that tests us and makes us think while rewarding those who do so without RNG to everything under the sun.

In GW2 chat system limits you far to often, maybe add some option to + or – when you hover over peoples names in map chat. Get X amount of – over a decent period of time then we can talk about suppressing people…. But yeah crummy systems as it stands right now.

Manifesto is a lie. true true words!

I would like for DEVS to go back and watch all of the manifesto videos/ text they sent out to sell us this game and I wanna see them explain themselves a bit. Example LEGENDARY items? sooo is that working as it should be cause that has got to me the most anti epic end game item I’ve ran into on any game. Not to mention there desire to make content more grindy over time and DR us on everything? can we even play anymore without having to farm something…

StarPlatinum.2105:

may i suggest adding a new item that unlock the Soul bound items and make them account bound it will help a lot of player and give them another chance and thank you so much

omg I was just thinking about how cool an item like that would be today ++++1 this sell a item in the gem store to make soulbound items account bound! ASAP

2nd it as an account bound item please! for those who have not yet bought it and for those of us who have bought one

azurrei.5691:

I got two chests as well – to help with the debugging, I was at 4/5 then got TWO daily achievements at the same time (champion,leveler) – maybe that is the culprit. I have a second account I can go test that on here in about 30 min or so.

My champ kill was to be my 5th one earned to get me 100% for the daily, I just so happen to earn a level up at the same time and I got no chest reward at all. I tried to relog and even went ahead and did every last one of the extra daily options and still no chest.

elendilvorondo.4763:

Last night after the reset, I tried getting my daily reward. Basically I had 4 done, and when I completed the fifth, I actually leveled up as well, so I ended up going from 4 to 6, but I never got my daily reward.

I decided I would try to do all the achievements to see if that would fix it, but alas, I did everything, and still no daily reward.

I submitted a /bug report in-game, but I thought I would post here as well.

As I suspected, it seems the issue is that when going from 4 to 6, the game never hits 5, so it doesn’t register that the minimum requirements are met, even though the progress bar shows 100% for the day.

Please fix this!

Thanks.

Word for word that sums up my experience with this bug

So I can’t be the only one to have seen that Sailor Moon themed guild that is out there me thinks that there request for some of the new colors added fits perfectly into there plans. If that is the case my hats off to the DEV team for doing something nice for them. Kinda like how we all know of a certain FoTm blonde npc named after someone who makes neat guides that help so many of us.

Vinny.6924:

There is no hope for the human race.

People actually complain about better rewards? Lmao.
You gonna cry at work when you get a raise for working the same amount of hours, doing the same job?

No. Just no. End thread.

Yes end it here and now, if you do not agree with the new reward system for events DO NOT do them simple as that. But since when did rares become an issue exotics still are not all that common. Now Please Please just erase this discussion, I have not felt so strongly against a thread much less felt a need to log into the forums since the Karka event….

Yes sell us back pack skins in the gem store, anything is better then being marked forever with that hobo sack on our backs! or even sell us skins for our skills if that is possible I would be happy to pay for a few visual upgrades to help further allow us to customize our characters.

Black Regent.5897:

And I just want to point something out: this is one of those scenarios, at least for me, where I don’t care so much about the loot I missed. What I want to see is a clear explanation from ANET about what went wrong from this event start to finish and a VERY clear explanation of VERY SPECIFIC steps that are planned in the future to prevent this sort of complete disaster.

The loot is a one time thing. After this event, I’m so incredibly disappointed that I question whether or not this is a one-time screw up or if we can expect this kind of crap in the future. Because if this is how ANET is going to run this game, I really see no particular reason to keep playing it. If it’s going to be this frustrating, I can find other things to do with my time.

Yeah I agree with you 100% every letter and every word you said, I would like them to address what exactly went wrong, and how they plan to avoid having this ever happen again.
