Guild Wars 2

Hammer is awesome but seems slow. And dmg seems a bit low.

Hammer Skill 3 sent me off a cliff.

I do not like gyros. To slow and other than tool belt skills seem worthless. Would rather have them be mobile turrets and have the tool belt skills than how they are now.

Remember in the preview they stayed with the engi. They don’t do that in game.

Have had this thing bug on me twice. Can’t get to center. I guess I’ll have to just wait a few days for a patch to fix this. Same thing as described I can walk through a wall that Rox won’t cut and the wrench does nothing.

Dear ANET. Please get over the trench coat thing. We want it to go away.

Signed Medium armor users.

PS. Let the light armor stay. Why not just remove all cultural armor restrictions. Let the people pick whatever armor they want.

Best villain is Anet. They made Trahearne. Plain and simply the most evil thing any one could have done in this game.

Thanks for the link and info Konig. I was not aware this interview had taken pplace.

I have a feeling she is somehow going to be tied to the yet Unseen Earth Dragon. That dream she entered and the Vine just makes me think Elder Dragon Champion.

From what Scarlet Saw:
It was then Ceara saw the thorn vine. It emerged from the roots at the base of the tree and began to climb, wrapping itself around the trunk and scoring the bark with its dusty red barbs. Green-black ichor oozed from these wounds, and the great tree shuddered.

It’s the vine attacking the tree that makes me think Earth Dragon. But I could be completely way off and just hoping they actually plan on having the Elder dragons involved in the LS.

I don’t mind Scarlet to much. But to see them focus this much on her when there are Elder Dragons still alive just amazes me.

Please Anet, lets continue the main story here. Or did you forget there’s creatures out there that scared the Gods away, and are trying to devour and corrupt everything.

I’m in. Send invite pls. Engineer here. I can either DPS or defend.

I’m going to doubt theirs any lore here. It’s just an update to this fight and other game mechanics. This doesn’t appear to be a LS event.

I’m personally glad they are updating some of the world fights. But please for all that is holy let Zhaitan be dead and done with. Lets move on to the next Dragon please.

I don’t think this has anything to do with Bubbles. Teq was Zhaitans champ which means he was undead. And Only Zhaitan could control him. I doubt Bubbles has that ability since every Dragons power is different.

I think this is just simply a remake to an existing fight. And frankly I hope it is more challenging.

I have one request Anet. Please give me back my Kurzick Batman armor. I will pay your fee. I miss that armor set so much.

After reading Scarlet’s story. I’m starting to wonder if that red vine may have something to do with the unseen earth dragon. Perhaps she doesn’t know it but maybe she’s the dragons champion? Perhaps it found a way to corrupt her?

I would prefer a expansion or a 6 month content release schedule rather than the LS. I have no issue with not having an expansion. But this games Main story needs to start progressing.

I know some people enjoy minigames and such. But it’s not my idea of fun.

I feel a living story doesn’t need to be: add content and then take it away. They would add far more content for new people by making the living story permanent story content. Imagine if all the Living world stuff was just added story for your characters. Now Imagine someone new to the game starting after 1 year of such additions. It would IMO make the game feel way more impressive and give the person more time to grow to love the world and the characters in it.

I’d prefer permanent story content. And instead of make it and take it content, why not add in more dynamic events that maybe happen weekly or Monthly and provide good rewards. And maybe effect that entire zone and it’s dynamic events.

For example. Have a Weekly or Monthly event in the charr area where the flame legion attacks and if we fail to defeat them, they now control the zone and all the events in that area change. Then maybe a week or month later we get an event to take the area back. That feels far more living story to me.

I agree with WP’’s ideas. I see no reason that LS has to disappear. If they start making the stories permanent content and having them tie in to large content releases like new areas it would work out well. But I still want the story to progress. And that means Elder Dragons and there minions. I can care less about crappy little factions popping up.

Most hammers look horrible. Biggest complaint is how thin many of them are. They just look wrong.

GW2 hammer: II
Other games Hammers: I I

How about making the turrets robots. That way they can follow us around like pets and still be targeted. Shoulder mounted would probably be hard to target.

I’d spend the money on GW1…….(runs)

Darkace said my main complaint.

Don’t forget the Elder Dragons.

I read the books. I want to kill the Elder dragons. Fact is no GW1 player wants to stay in Tyria forever. We want to see what has become of Elona and Cantha.

My suggestion. Start advancing the main story. Do NOT wait for an expansion to let us take out another Dragon. Use the Living world to advance the story and then when you add permanent content let it be the next area where we will take on another Dragon.

I would love to buy armor and weapon skins from the store to support the game. But frankly the armor and weapons they have put in…… are ugly as hell.

I myself am not a fan of the living story idea so far. It has potential, but hasn’t really delivered IMO.

I was hoping that once the first expansion came out there would be more things to do, even at end game. But since they announced there is no plans currently for an expansion I’m a bit worried for this game.

Will we just be sitting here for a year or two doing little living story events that never stay, waiting to continue the elder dragon storyline? Or will it be delivered through Living story? I’d love to hear about this from Colin since the Elder Dragons are IMO the main storyline in this game.

To me if we don’t finish off the Dragons before the first expansion this game will be a fail.

“That is how is SHOULD be. There is a lot of missing polish in the core of the game. Shouldn’t be running off to make expansions while there is still work that needs to be done in what is already here.

As for success, GW2 has already outsold the original in the same time period by a significant amount."

Your points are all valid. And I’m not arguing with any of them. But I don’t feel you understood what I was saying.

The Core of the game does need work. But the fact they said they have no planned expansion worries me solely based on lack of content over a long period of time. To me the Main story in this game currently is the Elder Dragons. So will this be continued through DLC or do we now have to wait 1 to 2 years for an expansion to add to the story?

As for success in the game. I don’t base success solely on sales. But that’s my own way of thinking, so its my fault for not making it clear. I played GW1 for many years even after all the expansions were done. I enjoyed it that much. That regardless of sales is a success to me personally. And I hope strongly that GW2 will have that same success.

This information for no planned expansion worries me. It seems like they want to do a more evolving from of cataclysm. Where instead of everything just being changed, it would happen gradually as more story unfolds. That’s cool and all. But…..

What about the other Elder Dragons? Does this mean we will face them before the first xpac in just released content while the living world changes? Or does this mean we are going to be stuck with little additions like Flame and Frost until we face the next ED in the first Xpac.

Not really having an idea of there plans kind of makes me think this game will not have as much success as GW1. And I really don’t want that to be the case. It almost seems like after all these years waiting for this game they don’t seem to have any idea of what they want to do in the long run.

I agree.

They obviously removed secondary professions and the better skill system so balancing would be easier. But they seemed to have ignored the fact it gives far less choice in builds and skills.

My hope is that maybe by the time the first expansion comes out they will do something about the very limiting feel of the skills. But frankly I’m not counting on it.

For me it would be:

1. Make the game more like the original. No gear treadmill, way more skills, Fully customizable skill bars, more build options.

2. Make dungeon bosses drop loot instead of the token system.

3. Thief. Get rid of stealth and turn the thief back into the assassin, making Shadow step the main system.

4. KARMA. Make it have more uses.

5. Make legendary’s BOA.

Lots of games have successfully made money from selling items in there stores.

Blizzard made 2mill in 4 hours off the celestial steed.

What does that say? Provide things people actually want instead of this horrible mechanic and you will make money. I’m just not seeing the logic here.

Halloween did this. Sucked.

Wintersday sold in game weapon skins. Crappy ones as far as I’m concerned. Probably didn’t sell well.

Now we are back to the RNG chest. Here’s an idea for you Anet. Sell a good weapon skin in the store and see how much you make. I’d be surprised if it made less than the keys.

I get a kick out of this. People complained about this issue in the Halloween event. They all said they would purchase the skins if they were available in the store. Then for Christmas they did that but the skins frankly sucked. So they probably didn’t sell many. And now they go back to the BL chests.

I just think Anet does not seem to get it with the store. If you want to make money to keep the game and company going that’s great. But start offering things people want. Microtransactions are becoming a standard. But no one wants RNG with it. Please Anet. Learn a thing or two. How much money did Blizzard make when they put out the celestial steed? From what I remember they made a lot.

The lag on Jormags claw last night was horrible. The patch has definitely caused issues. But this is what happens every time there is a patch. It’s just waiting for them to fix the issue now.

As emikochan said. Expect nothing and don’t be disappointed.

Coming from a small guild I’ll have to say this annoys the hell out me. We don’t WvW and were looking forward to guild missions. I hope they look at this and change it. New Content should be new content. Not a forced Upgrade system that small guilds will have a hard time doing.
It’s almost like your punishing smaller guilds. Or is this ANETs Sad way of adding a horribly executed raid type system?

More gw1 armor. Maybe some weapon skins to.

nope. I just don’t think it’s worth a monthly fee.

No. Please leave the level and armor as is. Just add skins.

Honestly Rifter, It seems like they don’t know what to do with this game. I don’t really see a firm direction. They may have one. But it’s not clear as to what it is.

My personal thoughts are this.

This is not better than GW1. And the things they are doing are just going to push this game into the same old MMO that’s been around for a long time.

Easiest way to sum this game up for me. If there was a monthly fee I would not keep playing.

I must say I like the idea of no more res-rushing. However I do not quite get Anets priorities. Rewards are crap, dungeon finder needs to be implemented and not an external site. And the fights should have been adjusted before removing the res-rushing.

I agree with most. The changes need to be made. But the order in witch your going just does not make sense. And this will most likely promote elitism.

Please use a PTR so you can get feedback before implementing changes like this.

I tend to think the Elder dragons are more powerful than the Gods. And since they feed off magic the Gods either can’t get involved for fear of losing there power, or making the Elder Dragons to powerful.

It most likely boils down to crap they woke up. Let the mortals handle it.

Please tell us if we will ever go to Cantha or Elona.

First, the game just launched and I expect things will change for the better. GW1 changed a lot over the years.

What I miss:
Guild Halls.
Elite skill Capturing.
More Skills. And 1-5 being choose able.
Boss weapon skins.
Builds.
Henchmen.
Dervish.
Armor and Weapon stats being fixed at max level.

My biggest fear is we will never see Cantha or Elona due to fighting dragons for the next few years. There are 4 dragons left. And another hinted at. If we get one x-pac a year, when will we ever leave the Main continent? Palawa Joko needs a butt woopin!

Instead of tokens couldn’t they just make Karma more useful? Such as Tier 2 and 3 racial items having a Karma cost option instead of just gold.

I also think maybe they should allow someone who’s completed an area 100% to maybe have free waypoint travel.

Best thing I could think of is bring back GW1 features. Elite skill capturing, and rare weapon skin chances on major world bosses/events. Not just a chance to get a precursor. Items that would only be found on that boss/event.

Bugged on Yaks Bend as well.

Gw1 was the better game IMO. I personally think they strayed to much from what made GW great.

Things I miss:
Elite skills to capture, skill options, rare weapon skins to farm from rare mobs, build options, henchmen, my beloved Dervish.

I also worry about expansions and content. I want to see Elona and Cantha. I do not want to be stuck fighting Dragons forever. If they put out one expansion a year and it is for a single ED. We will be in tyria forever.

I like this idea. gw1 had a lot of elite skills, and a lot of build possibilities. So far gw2 has not impressed me with the lack of builds and skills. I think having normal skills added to the elite slot could help a bit.

Thanks for that info Venirto. Thats really awesome news!

If they decide not to allow it at least make the Armor and weps of each order Bind on Account so we can use the skins across our characters.

IMO this was far better than the Zhaitan fight. However I could have dealt with shorter times for the reinforcements. It was where everyone started complaining.

With all the bugs and issues still going on with Act 1. Honestly I’m not suprised if they start this late either to make sure things are better prepared or due to issues.

Except I did Noll last night. And Canach was bugged. I still have the email and it won’t let me do canach still. So i don’t think just Noll being bugged is the whole issue.

Canach working but gives nothing -Yaks.

Please don’t do one time events again.

Am I the only one thinking this whole nightmare court/Dragon thing sounds kind of familiar…….N’zoth and the emerald nightmare.

I also vote for earth dragon!
