Guild Wars 2

Rising Dusk.2408:

Could you give us an example of a Fractal revamp you hate? I just tried the new swamp last night, for instance, and I thought it was quite fun. My only feedback is that Bloomhunger’s invulnerable phases were far too long and caused the fight to drag on too long, but otherwise the mechanics were great.

I hate swamp now, they made a bossfight that is even worse than the clockheart, which was the worst bossfight in this game until now

They completely tore the existing pacing out of it for no reason

As the title states: the revamped fractals are horrible

These updated fractals were supposedly updated to be “longer” and “harder” or “more fun” and they failed on all 3 parts imo

They practically turned the fun, short and sweet dungeons into nasty, unnecessarily long and tediously boring dungeons for the sake of “betterment”

Maybe rather than putting effort into breaking perfectly fine dungeons, they should put effort in creating better expansion packs that are nothing more than a hugely overpriced map pack with a flimsy story attached to it

Honestly now, was HoT tested? I mean decently to check on bugs and difficulty issues?

Some mobs are just insanely overpowered for no reason, just look at the mordrem snipers that can coat an area with AoE and conveniently disappear with stealth, or the bladedancers that can stun u for a long enough duration to oneshot kill you.

Not to mention the amount of bugs during bossfights (especially the mordremoth bossfight kittenes me off)

I know zhaitan was a disappointment but an impossible bossfight that forces u to do it over because the idiot npc’s dont res u when u go down because of the “superattack” that you can’t dodge because the updraft is bugged is even more disappointing

Please, test your game in the future

good god, we paid 50 bucks for 4 new areas and 16 missions that we can’t even finish due to the amount of bugs
10/10 would spend 50 bucks again

logged in and it refuses to create a story instance
someone’s having fun at anet

just ran ccleaner to fix the issues in my registry, did that a few times in the past when multiple patches did me over and now i’m loading in verdant brink, dunno if it’ll hold but who knows

yep, game just threw me out and refuses to let me log back in

you forgot hero points that are group events, had to wait an hour until someone found his way up to the canopy to do the pile of guano hero point
yes some are veterans but that’s just 1 they made a veteran that i know of, the rest are still their champion selves

OP obviously never had to wait half an hour for someone to come by in the canopy to help fight a boss for an HP

Hi,

I’ve a lvl 80 Revenant with all her traitlines unlocked. Unfortunately the Mistward collections did not start per traitline that I have unlocked.

Hope this gets fixed

Hi,

While HoT is an enjoyable expansion the Hero Points really suck. The combat ones have been replaced by champions by themselves pose enough of challenge, but how am I going to get people high up the canopy to help me take down a champion? I get the idea of wanting co-operation between players this is ridiculous.

Can’t these guys get toned down to the usual veteran format?

inb4 git gud/l2play/etc

alot of crap that nobody wanted
some tweaks were welcome but they put it out like there “look we’re doing something for our people”

if anet doesn’t start thinking clearly this game will be dead soon
this latest “feature” pack has really put me off and i’m quitting until they actually know what they want to do with this game

Title says it all

I can’t do anything in the game launcher

Lets call this an open letter to Anet concerning the state of the game.

Guild Wars 2 is nearly 2 years old and people are more and more questioning where the content has gone. Because let’s face it, Living Story is like filling a bucket with a few drops at a time.

And let’s not forget that alot of people would be willing to pay 40 euros for a full expansion that we had during Guild Wars 1 which enjoyed a long lifespan with their vast expansions that added tons of new stuff and that is what players want the most, a fresh breeze that calls out for exploration of tons of new content. Each Living Story update is finished within an hour (unless u count in the finding of every coin in Dry Top).

So let’s face it, Living Story is fun for kicks but nothing beats a large expansion pack and i truly hope you face it fast before the game dies.

i won’t miss SAB, it was a boring crappy LS

unfortunatly so is the rest of LS and if Anet keeps up this mentality of “LS is the future” this game will be dead pretty soon due to their own lacking
the only thing they put real effort in are the gemstore skins that cost about 10 euros worth of gems for 1 stupid sword…

i just got done doing the achievement after about twenty tries (SOLO)
it seems there’s a certain pattern to be followed of npc’s and mobs since some npc’s have an invulnerability buff that lasts longer than the others
so here’s what i did:

after talking to Magister i left cave and went immediate right to save the three guys at the guard tower, kill the mobs and tell them to retreat

NEXT i went back to concordia for the caravan guard in the water to tell him to retreat

AFTERWARDS i ran up the hill to help the two priory girls with the Mordrem wolf and tell them to retreat, i then followed them a bit past the guard tower since new mobs have spawned, so i distracted them so they wouldn’t get wacked

FINALLY i hurdled over the rock behind the guard tower to the crusader in the water fighting the tendrils and husk, i killed those and told him to retreat and achievement popped

but this is how i did it

i also tried going to guard tower first and then straight into water for crusader but then i would be too late for the caravan guard where a thrasher spawned

hope this helps some people

The last few days i’ve been getting bombed by gold spammers and it seems alot of people are having the exact same thing. Now i report these guys as should be but they just keep spamming and spamming under the same name. Can’t we just have a function that when you report someone it automatically blocks them too?

I mean if you’re reporting someone chances are you just want him muted as well.

Belgian here….
guess anet doesn’t like Belgians…

pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase

i want this in tonic form…

been getting this alot lately…..
Anet should really fix this seeing as other MP games work fine

have it here as well…

I’m wondering, there’s all this fuss about AMD Mantle being good for performance, and seeing some events are quite heavy on your comp. Will Anet research Mantle support?

Anet delivered with today’s patch
You have earned my respect whether you did it because of this post or because it was a pipeline idea
you delivered
kudos

if that would be the case…
i’d have a fused weapon by now

Title says it all actually.

I want to be able to switch the tools between my characters freely rather than having these tools soulbound on one character that i may or may not get tired of

doh fail

it should be ACCOUNT bound T_T

snap…
woops
thanks for that :p

Cmon anet

I was saving my tickets for when i was sure about the new weapon i wanted to get now i’ve got 3 ticks that i can’t use anymore

im running wireless but here’s my tests
http://www.pingtest.net/result/84650081.png
http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/2882598853

i think anet won’t solve it
i’ve tried it and they say contact your isp, but the isp says its fine and my tests also say its fine
the only time i get packet loss is when i try to play on ncsoft servers (e.g. GW2)
so both sides say the problem isnt their problem

and it’s been this for days now
seriously what is going on? i keep getting caught in traps and aoe’s cause of lag

it was right after the patch so it wouldn’t have been my comp since i restarted the game right when it was available

It seems there are some problems around GW2 and its newest build and i’ve been trying all kinds of methods i found here and some others and today it paid off: the patch downloaded and installed as i write this

So maybe there are others out there with this problem and hopefully this will help them

Other solutions i found on here are:

Starting the game in Compatibility Windows XP service pack 2

repairing the game files via backup restore points (my comp does that automatically each week)

But here’s what REALLY fixed the game today for me

i ran CCleaner to remove obsolete registry items and Norton to do another check on my registry and it works

Maybe others will find this helpful and try to fix the registry as well

PS: my specific problem was being completely unable to connect with GW2 via launcher or a new setup i downloaded yesterday

there’s alot of problems with the patch atm

it seems i can’t even redownload the game from the setup i got from here :/

seems there are problems with the new build
i cant connect for 3 hours now
ran compatibility, admin, restored back to a point in the past and i still can not connect
will need a patch to fix this asap coz i’m missing out

wanted to look it up tho since the email actually is noreply@guildwars2.com and i got my activation mails from that same email so i was worried it was legit even tho the text was copy paste from over 9000 wow and diablo accounts i presumably had

just remove chest for guests
i’m missing dragons cuz i’m in overflows and i don’t bother guesting on other servers for picking up extra loot

just stop guests from attending the world events like dragons and stuff
don’t let dungeons and normal pve be affected
that’ll discourage them
i’m from Seafarer’s Rest and have insane lag and population problems atm coz of the guests

So first off i wanna say that the HoM right now is pretty useless, the skins they offer are nothing compared to the exotics out there and the pets aren’t worth the effort.

Now i’ve gotten 50/50, worked hard to get it all and it’s quite sad that the rewards aren’t what i wished for.

So maybe anet could implement the tormented weapons from GW1 to GW2 as an exclusive HoM?

and i’d love to see the voltaic spear come back as a staff

Why are HoM animals weaker than normal ones? We worked so hard for our points and the rewards just aren’t rewarding.

Look here:

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Black_Widow

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Juvenile_Jungle_Spider

over a 1000 less vitality

and all the other animals are weaker too
so i wanna know why and if they’ll change it because i really like the white raven

People have been asking me for a possibility to try GW2 without having to buy first and i’ve been wondering about it myself and find it quite a shame that it only happened during the karka event.

Is there any possibility to make them possible again?

I’ve been reading alot of people saying this change is good and now things matter when playing in dungeon and promoting teamwork and whatnot but what’s the point if you can’t get a team?

Let me further elaborate

Now we all know that on the internet some people are not courteous or patient, i’ve seen plenty of people ragequit dungeons because the dps wasn’t sufficient or we sucked or whatever. I’ve seen boss fights where we got killed one by one and had to run back but eventually we killed him and prevailed. It’s how i learned to kill Subject Alpha, by going back and back and try again.

But now there’s just one question that i’ll ask to everyone here:

Will YOU take a new player who’s never been in Arah or CoE in your team with the new system of wp’s in dungeons?

Or will you prefer an experienced player over the newbie?

If you choose the first option you’ll start seeing my point (hopefully).

Inexp players will get few groups willing to give them learning chances in dungeons and they will have to do with groups of newbies destined to endless wiping in dungeons filled with ragequits and lets admit is, arah isn’t a short dungeon.

I hope anet will consider this

the whole not being able to res while party is in combat is stupid
coz you can’t res in these dungeons in combat, you just can’t
i’m here at magg p2 defend and the constant flood of mobs doesn’t give us a second of rest so if one of us goes, we all go

bit of a shame for people who didn’t manipulate market or anything and just did CoE or get lucky with fractals

i’m ele and i got it pretty fast when travling with groups
but melee mobs in my team usually got the shortest straw
