Guild Wars 2

The raging mob can calm down now ^^ That screenshot was made purposely to make the gm look like a bad guy.

Chris Cleary.8017:

I’ll go ahead and play this game. The “screenshot” http://i.imgur.com/tcacZ5W.jpg you’ve provided while “awesome”, doesn’t discount the fact that no one in this screenshot has been actioned. You are posting on the forums, which is a clear indication that you are not banned. None of the people in this party chat are banned. So while the “Legit” is being put into say (according to this screenshot), no action was taken against anyone here.

I know you wanted to post a screenshot of an account being banned, but you are posting a screenshot from the launcher back in 2012. We are on build 38057 not 15377.

My guess is that the GM was putting into question the validity of the tactic being used, but did not action as there was nothing against the rules.

And the original:

Hello, was he at the beach for you? Or did you have to actually find him?
For me, Sottz has been at the Brigantine Waypoint beach for like 5 months. Whenever I got him I was happy because it was so easy to find. Anyway, I just got him again since the festival patch but he was nowhere to be found, I ran around for 15 mins and saw 0 barrels aswell. It seeeeeems like it’s bugged Just as it was for a while after guild missions were introduced…

I’d like to add that Half-Baked Komali seems to still be bugged. At least I think he’s supposed to spawn some jellies to remove his fire shield, but when duo or solo, he never does; making it basically impossible for a small team. Since his fire shield removes conditions everytime you attack him, can’t condi and run in circles either.

Hello!
Last year I had an amazing time near the lion courtyard, just tossing snowballs at a friend.
Then we realized npcs would throw them at us too. This made it hilarious because sometimes they chose to target me, but mostly him, so he’d be permanently knocked down, they were so mean.

This year they just stand there, doing nothing. It’s so sad and boring, at least in AG. Don’t know if it’s like that in other servers, maybe it was disabled for that dolyak event, or hopefully it’s just a bug.

Is your environment volume down? That’s where it’s volume control is.

What is /rank and finishers tied to? The achievement progress (Gladiator, Mercenary, Avenger etc) or the purple bar below where level normally is..? Or are those the same?

Thank you

P.S Josh, it scares and saddens me a little when the content has not been out for 24 hours and you are already saying you might have made it more difficult then you intended.

Any time now people will be competing with youtube speed runs of this content. Hold on tight.

I had a gut feeling going in that it was. But since I wasn’t hearing it confirmed by QA or alphas I let it go. So the main reason I’m paying so much attention to this thread is because I suspected there was a problem to begin with. I really, really don’t want to alienate a ton of players by making them miserable and frustrated. We made a whole mode for people who like that sort of thing!

I’m hoping it takes you a few days to tweak/nerf it. Would love to have enough time to play through it before that, so far only done W2 Z1 of the new stuff. Was quite a bit harder than World 1.. Which is great! Like few old games, just as it should be.
The only thing that was a bit annoying was falling into the rapids, takes a bit too long to get out/die and respawn.

Thank you so much for SAB!

Same, except the item is stuck on my lvl 23 ranger. Running around in Fireheart Rise / Frostgorge sounds really annoying when that low lvl.

We just found and killed him for the first time, we were about 12 people. I was playing as a warrior, single-target damage worked just fine for me. Rifle hit only him when we were on even-ground or if I was elevated a bit. Prooobably don’t wanna bring eles for it I think. I told eles in the guild to use Scepter fire 1, Air 2-3, Signet of Fire and Arcane Blast, few ok single-target skills for eles to use. I never died, he is pretty easy to kite, everyone else died once or twice, luckily he was only ~20 seconds away from waypoint. We had no thieves, if we had it would probably have gone much better.

But anyway, at one point everyone was dead except me, I had no problem running in circles waiting for everyone to get back, he doesn’t really hurt much if you don’t hit the rats. If I could redo it I would have brought Longbow to swap for Pin down and also Bolas, he seemed to move quite fast and was shadowstepping all over the place.

Sotzz the Scallywag is nowhere to be found, there are no barrels anywhere. We ran across the entire map, several of us with guides up.
Our tiny guild just spent 3 days researching the new Bounty Hunt Training mission just to fail it because of a bug, so sad. We’re on Aurora Glade.

Edit: Seems to be a pretty common problem.

They’ve almost always done pretty awesome stuff in Guild Wars 1, specially the last 2 April’s Fools(Commando missions).
Excited to see what they’ve done for this one!

So were the 60$ worth the 1700 hours of gameplay time?
Why not take a break and come back when there’s more new content or a new expansion? Nothing is forcing you to play this game.

Maybe he loves playing GW2, and hates that he’s “out of content”? That’s whats “forcing him to play”.

Though, Anet wouldn’t cater to the hardcore, and rush out contents because of them. Because this is a minority.

Exactly! But he’s obviously getting bored of it now, so it’d be good to take a break while he still likes the game and come back in a few weeks/months :P.

Eventually they’ll split PvP & PvE skills like they did for GW1, perhaps then there will be more useful skills in PvE.

There was a Anet post saying something along the lines of “1 key press = 1 action”. Anything else than that might not be safe :p
No idea on which thread I read it exactly though.

Hi! So during beta I only had some crashes here and there, but, yeah, beta. Since launch I’ve had a recurring problem and it’s always the same. A problem that only started happening after launch!

Sometimes I can type for ages and nothing will happen, however, once in a while the game will simply freeze when I press Enter(send message). After that I have to kill the process in taskmanager.

It doesn’t seem to matter where I am or what type of chat, it happens anywhere! I didn’t bother fixing it coz’ I haven’t been playing GW2. But now it happened on my first run in Fractals so, yeah, annoying! Anyway, this seems to happen on both my laptop and pc. I was just wondering if anyone had the same issue that they’ve resolved somehow, before I submit a ticket to support and ask properly :P.

I pretty much spent all my GW1 time in PvP, predicted I’d get bored of GW2 PvP ~1 month after launch, and I was correct! Going from 6 game modes to only 1 got boring quite quick. Anyway, one of the things I spoke to a friend about today was the PvP rewards.
I agree, I do not understand why they didn’t keep that from GW1.

It was really nice I could spend most of my time in GW1 PvP and then when I found new friends that wanted to try some PvE(Anything is fun with friends..), I could fully upgrade my armor and my heroes with the money I had aquired in PvP(Zkeys).
If you spend a lot of time now in GW2 PvP you have nothing to show for it, you’ll be crippled once you get to PvE, considering how hard it is to get maxed gear in this game, everyone else will be miles ahead of you.
It’s really odd.

Anyway, do what I did and just play PvE to pass the time. Or just take a break and see how the game is in ~2 years :P.

Let this complain thread die already, throughout the day I keep seeing it being bumped up over and over again. The OP isn’t posting feedback or trying to have a discussion.
*I realize I just bumped it but I’ve held off posting about 5 times already(everytime I see it go up).

Tixx was designed to be completed once per day, you can do it very fast & easily and you get two nice miniatures if you complete it five times. I don’t understand why you people want to grind.

Tbh playing this felt like it could be more fun & competitive than the current capture points :P. I’d love to see a pvp mode sort-of-kinda-like this, locked down teams ofc, etc.

Maybe I just miss GW1’s relic running and similiar modes, sigh*

u can just grab the gift and run

Umm…….they hit me for 8-9K and I have 3K hit points. It is a level 15-25 zone. There is no running in and grabbing a box. I have tried. Repeatedly. So 6 level 69 princesses x 9k = you aren’t running anywhere.

Use your skills.

Clocktower took ~15 tries to complete(couldn’t see my asura x_x), this one I completed on my first try.. It’s very nice that they make an easier puzzle for people and it makes sense that the “hard” one was clocktower(which I loved) since it was halloween and all, and now it’s a happy wintersday occation. But still, it would be nice for something more for us who want a harder challenge.

Well…
Story: I’d do these once for myself and repeat them to accompany friends who haven’t done them.

Explorable: I’d love to do all the paths in all dungeons just to see everything there is in the game. Then probably repeat for the same reason as story, to help friends or random people who need help with them… Why? If it’s a new person, I enjoy seeing them die to traps such as lasers, rolling flaming boulders of death etc.

I’m holding off to do this though, I’ve done a few story & explorable paths.
Don’t understand all the QQ on these forums. But I’m holding off because of all the issues there have been in the game atm. Once it’s all fixed and guesting(very important) is in the game, I’ll go do them all one by one. I really hope they haven’t been nerfed by then though =/.

In guild wars 1 I never ever cared about looks for pve(or much about pve overall tbh), and in pvp I only got nice looking gear because I was given so many tournie points/zcoins.
It’ll be the same in this game.. If throughout months/years I end up having a lot of tokens, I guess I’ll use them! There’s no rush :P.

Hmh, never experienced this but haven’t played a lot on melee classes yet, just wondering, do you all have melee attack assist on or off?

KableZone.9137:

I dont understand how people can find the dungeons here easy. What have you been playing before this that was actually comparable to these dungeons?

In all seriousness i’ve raided end game content that was easier.

THe problem with these dungeons is that there is NO introduction, the abilities of the bosses are way to hard to grasp unless you are being walked through them or know them allready. The guys saying oh lolz this is easy, not its not. Its hard, uts unrewarding and its ruining the fun of the game. YOu alrleady know the dungeon, ehck you most likely found the best spec for your class online and then went on to study every single pull in videos on the net. Well thats not fun nor rewarding in any way, thats just doing it.

Make a vid of you doing a dungeon you dont allready know at the difficulty of AC explorable mode with a class you havent read up on online before doing it.

This content REEKS of wow end game raiding. You have to study before playing for fun.

Everyone needs to run around with the same build to be able to survive. You cant make your own character the way you want because that just doesnt fit the meta of wow mmo’s.

The dungeon system in any mmo is make it or break it for me. This broken thing just…. broke it for me and my friends. We went away from wow because we where tired of raiding. We dont want to continue that here. And pvp is boring :/

During beta I believe our team wiped 2 times when fighting Vassar & Ralena in AC story.
Then we noticed the hearts popping up whenever they were next to eachother, we separated them and it was much easier after that.
Now after launch I noticed they have no “Unshakeable/Defiant” status. So you could pretty much keep them knocked down forever with the hundreds of boulders that lie around the room and have the other 3 killing them if it really came to that.
That’s just an example how we learned from our mistakes(by we I mean I or whatever pug I joined at the time) and didn’t need to look anywhere online or be taught by anyone how to beat it.

The whole game is end game content.
Once you’ve done all explorable paths in all dungeons, you’re pretty much with the game when it comes to PvE.
Yes they should be hard, you should wipe a few times, maybe even quit and come back when better prepared(when you learn to use your skills, learn to dodge, how combos work(25 stacks of might for 30 sec on whole party melts all enemies away)).

Ukaei.8694:

The Dungeons are ridiculous.. I sometimes find myself wishing to respec traits to full defense, but the gold cost and lack of trainer in dungeon makes it impossible.

Retraiting costs ~3.5 silver at around level 80 =/.

Yepp I’ve sped run it twice, way too for explorable. Way too easy to get tokens.
-Magg’s path, that is.

Edit: I don’t get what’s wrong with my post. Another forum bug. Ignore the repeated lines.

Well…. Zhaitan is dead.. At least ingame items say so..
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Shards_of_Zhaitan
“A small piece of Zhaitan, forever dead..”
Ogden says he’s dead too, I think.

So.. You’re saying he can raise an entire continent out of the water, animate an endless army of undead and all he can do to defend himself is throw mud at us?
So we hear from NPCs that he knows fear. K.

So.. You’re saying he can raise an entire continent out of the water, animate an endless army of undead and all he can do to defend himself is throw mud at us?
So we hear from NPCs that he knows fear. K.So ok, maaaybe he’s just a powerful necromancer and he can’t defend himself, that’s sort-of fine. So…. Why doesn’t he just drop into the water and swim away? Why does he grab onto his precious tower and takes our cannon fire to the face? Did he throw(spit) the wrong type of mud at us? He hoped it would kill us? Just mind boggling.

Anyone would be able to see that this has obviously been rushed. Shatterer, Tequatl and Claw of Jormag(and many others) are much more interesting and I’m sure Anet is well aware of all of this. I just hope they can go in & add things to the final battle once enough people complain.
Game launching 1 month before Mists of Pandaria is not a coincidence.

Milennin.4825:

Dungeons are completely optional.
If you have trouble beating dungeons, level up more. Unlock more traits. Get better gear. Learn to play your profession better (try different weapon sets and utilities). Spec more into defensive stats.
When I did Ascalonian Catacombs the first time as a level 35 or so I thought it was friggin’ hard. Taking up my own advice I went back to the dungeon later and completed it pretty easily dying a lot less than my first time.

The moral of the story is. Don’t quit after your first try. Take a break from it if you need. Think of what went wrong.
If you got owned by red AoE circles. Try to learn to dodge faster.
If you got 1-shot. Spec more into defence / bring more defensive skills and buffs.
If you as caster get constantly grabbed by melee, bring snares, blinds and knockbacks.
If you see your teammates making dumb mistakes, don’t yell or swear at them. Be patient and explain to them what they do wrong and how to do better.

This is pretty much it.
If you’re the kind of person that quits after a few tries, please don’t come to the forums & hope they’ll make the dungeons boringly easy for the rest of us :/.
Enjoy the rest of the PvE, go kill some big dragons, it’s all extremely easy.

That being said I’d still want to encourage people to keep trying, or like the person I quoted stated, take a break and go back once you feel more prepared. No one is forcing the dungeons on you!

These forums are starting to make me hesitate if I should keep reporting gold sellers/botters…
Maybe I’ll stop for a few months until things are more stable.
