Guild Wars 2

You guys are such a whiners… It can happen that someting came up and a release is delayed.. It happens a lot in a business.
Next to that we can be happy we can play this game with such a less downtime and that Anet is still making cool content and keeps updating this game (and yes I hope on more DLC’s like HOT)…

It is kinda sad you guys are waiting whole evening for a update to come out… an update!! omg.. Get a life.. Do something else. Tomorrow is a new day.

Anet keep up the good work.

Hello,

I got 2 questions about achievement progression on my legendary armor:

1) I saw I have to make a crystalline heart. After that I need to make a Vine heart, Burning heart, etc, etc, etc … Do I need only one heart and can I use it over and over for the infusing part (so infuse to burning, infuse to vine etc) , or do I need to create more crystalline hearts?

2) After I completed Envoy armor 1 I need to choose in this chest: Chest of Experimental Armor…. What must I pick? am I deciding at this moment when I open this box that I go, heavy armor, medium armor, or light armor?

Thanks in advance for the respond(s)

Regards,

NOT NERF !! It should be possible to do AB, BF, and SW CF … It’s not like we do it hours and hours… It is just nice that it is there. Lets be honest, GW2 is nothing more then a grind fest , and I prefer it with others then go chop wood myself.
The events in these maps are just boring and bad return. Without some grinding, it will take even longer to get a legendary or whatever you want.
The reason I play this, is for grinding and collecting stuff. Apparently it is an addiction :P.

Pen and paper …. omg … I don’t say I need it now, I say before they come with new raids, get a tracker!

But now people are actually Also not doing THE event …… they only do stuff with good returns

Now its 9. Begrote we know it there are 12 and so on. Plus i Sometimes fail THE event and sometimes i get iT. IT Will happen that i start to wonder is this THE week i completed for example gorse or was this last week.

IT still world be Nice to have a tracker even if iT were 3 bosses

Hello Anet,

You probably dont read it or don’t care… but why did you nerf the clerc farm at Bloodstone fen? We have to grind anyway to get what we want, do you prefer that we do it solo when chopping wood and iron or in a group and having a bit of fun killing clercs as a community? I thought this was an MMO ??

You will probably say you get the stuff by doing so many things in this game, and yes you get, but it goes very slow.. I see people chopping and getting iron by running around in dead maps, but now, besides of the jade BF is empty or boring… Also the latest map is.. Why so many maps with so little reward.???

Please bring it back, not every change you guys have works out well…. I play this game for over 5000 hours now… And like it or not, its mostly for the grind i do it or play with other people, not run solo and chop wood….

I have to keep the decoration anyway to show kill prove.. also something that should be better.. it is taking all of my inventory … Yeah yeah I got 20 bags per slot… but you know what I mean… Show kill prove and have a tracker would be a nice addition.. Don’t know why it isn’t in the game already?

Anet can you please respond?

Hello Anet,

You keep expanding the raids, which is great. But would it be nice to have a raid tracker per week so we can see which raids I did in a week and which I still need to do ??

Would be awesome …

But I am wondering if the developers even see this…

Regards,

lol kittened.. typed something else ^^

OMG stress for nothing… geez… so kittened… thanks …

there are only 4 seasons.. we are in season 3 now… you have 3 steps for 3 seasons.. but after season 4 its over.. right ?

yeah but I am already in sapphire.. so means that I need to cross this.. then ruby.. and amber doenst count.. so I need to pass diamond in this year or the next

I am almost done with sapphire and I only crossed 1 of the 3 tiers.. so corssiing sapphire will be 2 and ruby will be 3,.. so this means amber doenst count.. meaning in year 4 i need to get to legendary… Help anet

My complain is about the achievement league champion in year of the ascension part 3. The achievement describes that I have to cross 3 divisions during this season. But hitting Sapphire (division 3 of 6 , with 6 being legendary) I noticed I only passed on division of 3 for this achievement. This means I have to pass sapphire and ruby. But even worse, in season 4 I have to go all the way to legendary to complete year 4 to get the achievement and reward.

I am sorry Anet but this is really misleading.. I didn’t know the following things, and the achievement didn’t specify it:

1) Didn’t know that crossing amber (division 1) didn’t count for crossing the first of 3 for the achievement league champion.
2) I also didn’t noticed that I had to do more divisions in the first 2 years to not get in this trouble later in the game, cause I put in sooooo many time to make sure I get pass these achievements (like many people) and to see it was all for nothing (sorry but I am not die hard pro to get to legendary)

I find it misleading and now I am also a bit dissapointed with the way this mechanic works and not having the right information. Yeah it is on the internet, but I didn’t think; hey maybe Anet will see the amber division as not crossing 1 division (and i didnt noticed in the first 2 years as it came easy enough), so lets look it up.. I don’t look up things I don’t expect…

As a consumer and fanatic GW player (gw1 and 2 (now 3700 hours+) I feel robbed of my time.. I will also put this on the forum.. So I presume I will get a decent answer ( I am fine to cross ruby in year 4 but then I should complete the achievement), and not like, put it on the forum cuase I dont get a decent solution…

Regards,

I miss the gold of dungeons.. nerfed it so bad that they destroyed it.. instead of having more dungeons after dlc we have none now.. (except fractals which i find good with the dailies etc)

but how do you guys grind gold these days? I liked it to do a few months dungeons and then buy a precursor.. that was one of my incentives to play the game..

I never posted so many posts on the forum.. geez.. ANET plz, make things better, change to how it was, some things like dungeon (or a better middle way)

Where is the fast pace gaming? Its tedious long now? I just did Tangled depths and I feel I lost 2 hours cause I saw no progression… I feel frustrated..

Are you guys also hating the Tangled Depths map? It is almost impossible to find the hero points.. It is also almost impossible to travel through that alone…
And you ened it if you want the elite skills, so again, Anet is forcing us to do something,,, nerfing dungeons, so they make sure we are all in the new maps…
I miss the old GW days..

I agree with einlanzer. Please make more dungeons.. and more challeging ones. That is what i loves about gw2. Now its just event grinding in the new maps.. feels like i am not doing much.. thats why i played gw2. For the dungeons!
Please anet devs!!! Do something about this.. redo the nerf

Hello,

Since Heart of Thorns dungeons are not being played that much.
It’s too bad as it was what I liked best.

I am happy to see fractals is better now, but with all the new content (which is nice), dungeons are not being played.
I would like to suggest some reward tree as in fractals (fractals daily). To make the standard dungeons more interesting. What you all think (and devs?)

Hi,

First off all I love the silverwastes content. You get a lot of loot and the fights are fun, What yhou guys think? Thanks ANET.

But because of this fun Dry Top is now called Dry Out! The loot is less and less people are there. So my question is, can you guys at ANET see to it that there will be more loot? As it is now unatractive..
And we as games,, need event after event, sometimes you have to wait a minute. Freem devour champ to mites.. To much waiting time. Maybe more short events between it?

Let me know what you all think.

Regards

Blaming ANET because of the way trading post works. It is a game, not real life. They should come up with some fair mechanics

Hi ANET,

Same discussion as before, and likely no responds from you but I have to say this again:

Next to the rediculous increase in costs precursors I now see that with the new trading post for example the legendary Eternity has increased again in gold.

As before I waas working toward getting money to buy a precursor for 600 that is now 1200g. So I figured its better to buy the eternity and have all skins right away on buying for 4200 on OLD trading post. So as frustrated as I am, I thought well, lets buy the eternity instead… Now to see since new trading post the eternity went up to around 5000g.

Oh my god ANET, my head hurts! Will this never end?

Now again I am saving for something only to see that the 600 g I made in a month was only to compensate again for that update?

And yes, I made 600g so yes,, I accomplished something, but not what I have intented.
And yes, I know how the TP works, but and some point it feels frustrating and annoying.
And yes, legendaries are not for everyone. I have 2300 hours play in it, I do dungeons, wvw, pvp like all…

So maybe some boundries or increase in drop rates would even the scale? Or don’t you care at all?
Because I don’t feel like I am getting somewhere, and I thought that is one of the primairy in gaming?

Regards

Hi ANET,

It’s nice to see update after update with minor changes that I don’t even notice, besides the last patch where everyone has lagg all the time.

I don’t know why I keep posting as nothing ever happens about things I discuss, not even a responds but I have to say this…

Please fix dungeons!

For example: AC dungeon P2 at end NPC bugs. AC P3 in Lovers room NPC bugs. SE dungeon P3, NPC keeps saying nononon… It is not nice to do dungeons over and wasting that time or muting the sound.

But still, Wurm is too hard.. if you split up in 3 groups, bigger chance to fail .. so just less armor or health would be nice. ANET, respond please?;)

Hello,
Do you guys think Evolved wurm sohuld be made a bit easier?
The same way as Tequitl has been made easier?

I find it weird that 3 wurms are harder to kill then a dragon Eventhough there are 3 wurms, a dragon should be stronger!

And please ANET, how long do we have to wait for dye’s of weapons !!

Regards

You are right about that

Hi guys,

I was wondering which item I could craft which will give the most gold when I sell it on the trading post? but of course doesn’t cost to much materials to craft?

For example few months ago I made tons of Mystic barricades. It doesn’t cost to much Orchicalcum ingots, and the gold you get per barricade was OK.
I have enough skill points for the eldritch scrolls.

Can someone tell me which cheap craftable item (probably MF) I could make and sell for a nice gold return on the TP?

thanks for the help.

Regards.

You guys think way to far ahead..
Pre’s needs to have a set price of for example 600g.. So it is fair that everyone pays he same price. If you bought it in for example march 2013 or august 2014. It’s just weird someone payed 600g and I and many others, because I waited with buying it for my own reasons now have to pay 1200g for the same pre!
Dont get me wrong, I dont care that it takes a while to get a pre and legendary.. But not with this increase…
Again I don’t care why they went up, or that it is real life experience etc… It is still a game where everyone should have equal chance to buy it for same price! Or anyway close to an equal chance. And it is not like its 2 times easier to get gold then before they went up..
Next to that I am not a regular gamer, over 2100 hours played here, doing pve, pvp, wvw, events, dungeons, I do it all. Last weekend I played on saturday and sunday 10 hours per day! Addicted a bit.
First two years I didnt even focus on legendaries, as I just enjoy playing the game, and for me collecting stuff is the fun part. So after that legendary I will still play the game, grinding for the second and enjoying just he living world 2 and all other content.
And yes, there are thing ANET could do, like increasing the drop rate a bit for T6 mats. They just dont care that there are people like me who feel like this is not fair.

I got 600g more then few months ago, that because of inflation or demand or whatever almost worth nothing. so yeah maybe i went from 200g to 800g, but all increased to, so still where is the feeling of improvement. I got money in the bank which I can buy the same things with now with 800g, but few months ago for 200g. It’s maybe a bit of exaggeration, but i hope ANET and you all get my point.
It was just a waste of time, for example if i grinded this a year ago when prices where more stable (anyway better then now) I could buy more for 800g then instead of 200g then..
I don’t know what to say to convince you guys.. anyway, time down the drain, hopefully the next 600g is also not keeping up with demand/inflation/whatever…

600g increase in money (at my slow chill pace) only to keep up with whatever the reason is for precursors to rise with 600g doesn’t feel like improvement and getting somewhere with my time put in the game! That is the baseline!
And that is what Anet should consider. I feel like a gamer that I am standing still in those months. As the coolness for me is saving and gaining stuff in those months. But that is zero as I focussed on the precursors these last months.
So whatever the reason is, I feel like I was only keeping up and standing still the same time. That makes it for me a bad game ATM.
And apparently Anet don’t care and you are missing the point. I don’t feel like getting there! but who cares, right

people that easily say its not too expensive or just say its wardrobe patch and its all okay, probably have already a few legendaries. And made them when you could grind cof the whole day and got those pre’s and legends relativly cheap… compared to now..
I say make pre’s craftable!

Weird that you can craft the better one, legendaries,, but not the lesser once, precursors

Hi Anet,

Again I put a topic down on this forum about the rediculous costs of precorsors these days and also about all other cost regarding legandaries that have increased since the patch.

Don’t we all agree that the costs of precursors are too high and the increase of 600g in 2/3 months is not possible to keep up with for the regular gamer.
And I DO find that also regular gamers should have a feeling of getting somewhere while they grind! I played over 2000 hours and last few months i was gathering money to buy the dawn for 600g, to see now its increased to 1200g!!

Sorry, but this is outrageous. Next to buying these things and be lucky (where I feel that still the same accounts have the luck of finding these….) The precursors shoudl be craftable..

and next to this, there should be a change in the marketing system. Yes I know its inflation, can’t change it, its anonymous, players affect this market etc… But there should be done something about it. newcomers will never get a precursor and I have grinded these lat months for nothing and feel I didn’t get somewhere.. And I thought that this was just important, be patient and get stuff and see you increase in stuff you have? Well the last few months I barely could keep up with the inflation..

and yes, I will probably hear, you don’t have to be hardcore gamer to get enough money, bu still… I wnat to play this game in relax mode and still need to feel my improvement over the game. Well this was 0 these last few months!

So Anet, are we going to do something about it? As a fan who played GW1 so long and now GW2 since day one, buying gems etc, I hope I will be heard.
I don’t post or complain much, but this is to much!

Regards

Hello Anet,
You probably will not read/nor respond to this topic but I have to say it anyway.

A few months ago precorsors, for example dawn cost like 600g, which I think is a fair price, and also the maximum a precorsor should cost.
During this time my goal was to get gold to buy this one, but also to have something left to start with the legendary. So I put a lot of time in dungeons to get money etc…
During this past few months the prices of pre’s increased dramatically! And I think this is not fair, and they keep even rising.
So strictly speaking I am not any further as I was a few months ago.

For example I had like 100g and few months later I have 700g, but during this months the pre went up from 600 to 1150! Isn’t this game made to get you somewhere, feel progress etc? Does this feel as progress then?
I still haven’t accomplished anything and it is starting to frustrate me! The fun for me is to save stuff and working towards something and I am OK to take a few months to get there. But after a few months I am still at the same place, do you get that?

If it keeps rising I will stop playing this game. Its not fun. You will lose a big fan as I played GW1 and now GW2 for over 2000 hours, bought gems etc!

So I am begging you, put those pre’s back to 600/700g , also for newcomers!
And don’t give excuses as, yeah its inflation, people are only doing legends now etc. There should be a limit in how expensive pre’s should be, not this weird marketing system. Its a game, and we want to accomplish something.
After a few months I am still nowhere, as prices go up as fast as I make money.

So what is ANET going to do about this?

Kind regards

Hi,

Can someone give me a good PVE warrior build after this update of april 15th?
Thnx

Hi Anet,

First of all, good update since april 15th. I like pvp now. So now I am a pve and pvp player.

But still there is one thing that is still bothering me.

As I still grind dungeons like everyday I still miss the karma. Also new players will have a hard time getting it if they don’t do WvW. Because the events around the world is ignored by most players.

So please Anet, for my part just give like 100 karma per dungeon, better something then nothing. Cause it is too hard to get any karma these days as I do not like WvW. It takes too long now, and believe me I am a patience player.

I have like 1800 play hours and I only made 1 legendary. I play at my own pace, but still no karma for dungeons is not fun for me, others or new players.

For the rest good work

Hi,

Please could you ensure we get karma again for doing those 8 normal dungeons? Now with those bloodstone bricks etc, where you also need karma as they cost obsidian shards its not more then fair to get that back.
I still should enjoy crafting everything by playing a small proportion of the game (as I do not play pvp, wvw). And I am OK with it if it takes me longer to get all that crafted stuff.
I still don’t get why they nerfed karma at dungeons.
Can someone tell me? New players getting karma will take forever!

I only find +1 ar. Can i just apply 10 +1 on one ring? So it has 10 ar + 10 (of the 10 times +1 ar?) So do 10 times same steps on one ring?

Hi guys,

Can you tell me how the agony infusion works?

For example:

I have 2 ascended rings and an ascended backpack. All contain + 10 infusion. So 30 totall. Got that before the agony infusion.

So one ring has +10 agony resistance. Can I for example increase that ring to +15 agony resistance with the help of the infusion?

If yes: How ?

I want to upgrade my AR to 60 or 70.. So can you guys give me tips how to get to that AR?

Regards

From the beginning you knew where you got yourself into when doing pvp. No loot and only glory and cool armors for pvp etc.

I am just saying you can’t give those rewards all of the sudden out of luck because things are changing in the mechanics afterwards!

This makes me think different about the game. For instance I don’t like WvW, but maybe I should do that because at some point (after a year for instance) you get gold for the level of rank you get because anet wanna change things around? That is just guessing yes, but apparently it can happen! As you see, it did with pvp!

You can say, then do that. But I want to do what I like in this game, dungeons and world event and I should have get the same amount of reward as everyone else who is doing other facets of the game. The game should be about what you like and get same amount of reward not about what I should get (in the future on loot).

Really weird way of gaming!

The loot i gained from orian boxes does not compare to the 1500 gold they get.. The orian boxes gave me some lodge and cores (that I didn’t sell at that point and in which the prices have dropped). Next to that the orian boxes gave some unidentified shards (or how they called it), and was worth nothing. So no, The loot I got, and sold (unidentified …) + the gold from dungeons + the nerfing of karma does not balance the amount of gold they get for selling the 2 million glory. I put also a truckload of time in the dungeons, but I don’t have the same level of award as they have!

And please don’t tell me the orian boxes was a good investment! It was terrible. And yes my own decision, but at that time karma was overflowing, now it is hard to get! And you couldn’t trade karma directly for gold. But only for gold and hope you get lucky. Glory can be traded for gold (buying and selling wintergifts), so less luckfactor.

If I would knew I would be doing pvp from time to time next to my pve right from the beginning. Eventhough I don’t like it.

I think the game is broken! Everyone has a specific gameplay style and some get more awared then others! And to be clear it is not that I am saying I dont get rewards for what I did, but some got more rewarded for the same amount of time put in to it as they choose other gameplay (gameplay they didn’t know from the beginning it will lead to this big reward further down the road)

Hi Anet,

Another episode of my complaining about your game called GW2!

Today I want to talk about those winterday gifts that you get if you buy them with glory gained from PVP matches!

I recently found out that there are people with 2million glory points and they buy winterday gifts with it only to sell them again at the TP! They make around 1500 gold for doing this!

I find this not fair! I don’t like the pvp that much so I only had like 7500 glory points. Now people that do liked it are rewarded increadible well for putting their efforts in.
While me for instance, a grinder of dungeons get the punishment of putting all my time and efforts in (1500 hours, atleast 1000 is dungeons), as you nerfed karma there and not receiving any bonusses now, like pvpers do with the selling of winterday gifts!

The same happend to a lot of people buying those boxes in the cursed shore (forgot the name) with karma, and need karma now desperatly (for instance me).

What I really wanna say is that you are wrecking the game with those living world and other changes and that some players will turn out to be lucky as they choose the right game ‘modes’ they played all that time (pvp and the gold gained), and some turned out to be unlucky (dungeons and no karma anymore).

Again I am really frustrated that a player that put in 1000 hours of pvp has now 1500g, achievements etc, and me for instance made maybe 500g also in 1000 hours of dungeons (I was not a cof runner before changes)

Could you explain why you make changes all the time that affects some players to the good and some to the bad?

Regards

Thank you very much.
I am glad to hear you see this as a weakness in the system. As what I have heard is guild wars 2 all about: play when you want how you want whenever you want. That is not the case now if I need karma as you see.
Especially for newcomers it will be difficult.

Are you meeting about this and try to fix this?

Why did you left out karma gain after completing normal dungeon? Before I got karma for those dungeons (at least give a bit karma)

Regards

Hi,

Why do we get karma in fractals but not in the regular dungeons anymore?
My playstyle is to grind dungeons and some world events, nothing more. I don’t like WvW and don’t always have time to do fractals. especially not the dredge one. So now I get forced to do WvW or those boring events no one is ever around?

And for newcomers?? how will they ever get karma at a decent rate?

And with the karma I do have when gw2 was having better times, I cannot buy the obsidian shards with karma at the temple of balthazar as all servers state that the temple is closed for days (anyway everytime I check it is so on EU servers)

So, Anet… Are we going to make this better or did I just wasted 1500 hours of playtime and still have not even 1 legendary as I play the game on my own pace.

Regards

how can I contact them then?

Hi Anet,

Till a few months I liked the game. But there are 3 things that are bothering me and I was hoping you could give me an answer to that.

1) Why was karma removed from dungeons? As for me, I have a specific playstyle. I run only dungeons and some world events, so for me there is little karma to gain. So now I am forced to do WvW I don’t like as I find it pointless (just my opinion).. But that doesn’t mean I have to do it. Also the events all over the world are not so interesting anymore because no one does it anymore. Alone is not fun! So I feel forced to lose time to events, wvw, fractals while I actually want to spend that time to my normal dungeonruns. Please explain why karma is removed because I need them for my legendary.

2) Can you tell me how new gamers of this game, that play the game like I do will gain karma at a normal rate? (So just doing dungeons and some world events? Are you forcing them to do other things they don’t like?). You could say no easily but how they get their karma for legendaries then? I thought it was all about play the game when you want it how you want it?

3) It is nice to see you made some new dungeons in fractals. But to do fractals I need like 2 hours or so to complete. I don’t have that long most of the time because I work etc. But I like the normal dungeons that take 10 to 30 minutes. Aren’t you guys thinking of making more of those kind of fun dungeons in the other areas without a dungeon?

Kind regards,

Dutchdevil

ANET,

For newbies and for people that need karma for legendaries it’s become a pain to gain karma.
Can you tell me why you nerfed it this bad?

I have a specific way of playing this game, I run dungeons and sometimes some world events. So for me there is not much karma to gain. Why you nerfed karma in dungeons? Now I am forced to play other things like events. But why say play the game where you want how you want?? That is off the table as I am forced to leave or play less my dungeons!

I had a long conversation with the helpdesk and they directed me to this forum.

I doubt ANET will read it but I post it anyway as this is the first major thing that bothers me and I start to dislike the game!

After 1500 hours I like a legendary weapon. And yes I play on my own pace this game!

It would suprise me if something will change!

I just want to point out that at malchors leap no one is trying to kill Lyssa at Cathedral of Eternal Radiance…. I noticed it because I was saving karma to buy some armor pieces there at the vendor. But because of the fact it is always contested I cannot buy it. This is really frustrating me, as I was putting time in gathering karma for my armor. Of course I could buy that armor at another karma vendor, but there is no other vendor that has those specific stats that I want.
So please ArenaNet, do something about it, because I don’t feel rewarded at the moment for putting time and effort in the game, and makes me wanna stop playing the game atm!!
