Still stuck at 2/4 despite completing the story on multiple toons. No ‘golden buckle’ and no ‘Dragon vine strap’.

For man people the basic collections for the Priory, Vigil and Whisperer’s Back Pack is still broken, with people not registering the collection pieces from the latter parts of the personal story.

When will this be fixed?

What seems ages ago I contacted customer service with numerous screenies of the issue across all my characters and was told, ‘we are looking into this’.

How long is this going to take?

Why don’t you just give people the back pieces already?

I got to Ruby soloq and loved it.

Sure there were dark times, but I actually had a feeling of getting something done in this game for the first time ever. That may be lame, but it is what it is.

Emerald was bad, but sapphire was a breeze.

The funniest and worst thing is the raging in team chat. I like to call em out, which encourages amazing loads of venom, often long after the game has ended, but it may help them reflect ton their lives. Who knows? Apparently when you lose a game you need to ‘get back to pve, noob’ and ‘L2p’ and all that, and the angry is awesome and the rest are all crap.

Good times.

The rage in RUBY is crazy in soloq. Tbh, I love it.

If the game looks dicey and someone snaps, its worth the price of admission to prod the sick beast and watch him explode in team chat.

It doesn’t take much to get the internet bully to focus on you.

Once you have their attention, the subsequent ‘go back to pve!’ or ‘get back into unranked noob’ and just straight up ‘kitten you suck!’ , or them whispering abuse before they block you is the height hilarity.

TLDR:

Waaa! Why can’t I faceroll every spec as condition reaper??

He probably doesn’t even know what chill affects eles twice more than other classes, and that without diamond skill they are just locked out of skill usage. Reapers are the clearest example of why Diamond Skin needs to stay as it is.

So basically, because a class has a distinct advantage due to certain class mechanics, that makes a poorly designed skill, that affects stat choices and completely hard-counters certain builds from multiple classes, okay to have?

Yup, because the game isn’t shaped around 1 v 1. Its a team game. T E A M .

On solo queuing to Sapphire...

Exxcalibur.6203

Best feeling ive had in a game in a long, long time.

120 ranked games later, 59 wins and 61 losses, I finally made it. Not much, maybe, but Sapphire is all I was after. That was my little mountain, although I might go for ruby over Xmas, who knows?

I sat around 70% win after 30 games and then it all went haywire. Emerald was the worst pvp gaming experience I have had, filled with its fair share of imbeciles and truly skilled players. Had more than a few of those game where you go about killing everyone and wondering why you’re whole team is dead, or a fighting off point and rushing about like headless chickens.

As an altist, I started and junked a legion of professions, including Reaper, Scrapper, DH, Mes bunker and finally landed on Ele Auramancer. after realizing the only way I was going to get there in this system was by playing support.

I have never played Mesmer and went 10-0 after one game un-ranked for practice. That was cute, but it was also pretty dull. And somewhere in the middle of it all I rolled into 13 game losing streaks, reaching the ‘great darkness’ ; that feeling of futility, despair and rage that leads to acquiescence and then, strangely , peace.

But maybe, despite all the pain and misery, it was worth it. By dragging me through hell, the game gave me Everest to climb.

Chin up, my emerald brothers. Endure! There is light in the darkness.

As silly as virtual reality may be, It feels good to fight for something again.

“Skritt, I’m hit!"

dynamic events --> step backwards

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Exxcalibur.6203

Exxcalibur.6203

I keep it short and simple: The focus on dynamic meta events instead of shorter dynamic event chains makes maps feel empty.

Let me explain:

When I explore Queensdale I never know what happens in a lot of areas. Bandits could raid the farm, there could be a worm-invasion or even a worm queen might appear. You are encouraged to explore because tons of events can happen at any given time.

Now when I’m in one of the new maps it’s all about pushing a meta to the end. Exploring rarely has any surprise events popping up. Masteries also seem to be quite shallow, I haven’t seen a new event started by any of the masteries.

In short: When I’ve done the meta, I feel like I’ve seen it all. I rarely had that experience in the classic maps. I hope the living story brings more depth into the HoT-maps (because the maps itself are the best I’ve seen in any rpg/mmo-game I’ve played so far)

Absolutely. There is ONE thing to do in each map and that’s pretty much it.

Yawn zerg city of boredom.

Gw2 vs eso vs ff14 vs wow

Gw2 vs eso vs ff14 vs wow

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Exxcalibur.6203

Exxcalibur.6203

So something I wanted to bring up….

Gw2 was by far the best of these games in my opinion. It was a blast for the average joe player logging in, playing how you wished as long as you wanted and logging out. HoT ruined gw2 in many ways.

One reason many people don’t like eso or ff14 is that dreaded gear treadmill. It kinda stinks, you farm hours and hours for weeks for that new weapon or armor to grow stronger, then the next expansion hits and you do it again. That’s why I left ff14 to come back to this game.

But now gw2 is worse. Why?? Because when you farm and farm for such a long time and get that amazing new armor you feel extremely accomplished in the end. But with gw2 you log in to farm masteries? There is no sense of any accomplishment. Your better off now in the other games doing the same exact farm to actually get something.

I’m sorry anet but you tried to follow other games ways which was wrong, but you also did it wrong. Should of just made made more maps like SW, added the elite specs, made A longer story, made worthwhile rewards, killed the mastery system, and kept up with living world season come February

I agree.

Besides which, the meta events are just most brain dead trash ive ever seen in a mmorpg.

Huge fail there…

If, as one guy said, one of the ‘great things to do in the game’ is farm legendaries, you are better off putting an axe through your face for fun.

Map META events = boring zerg

What happened to make these meta events so incredibly boring? DS is a mindless drawn out zerg, AB is a static mindless boring zerg and the daytime VB events are like a luke warm cup of tasteless tea.

I can’t imagine anyone running DS without masteries, so well played Anet on trolling the community with that.

A mixed expac to sure.

What's the point of HoT?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Exxcalibur.6203

Exxcalibur.6203

Okay so avoiding major spoilers, what we as a pact commander are doing is leading an invasion into the maguuma jungle against Mordremoth, this plan goes a bit awry what with the whole fleet being destroyed and more or less dropped around Verdant brink, this is where the expack picks up and the point of the areas are as follows:

1. Verdant Brink: Gathering the remains of the pact fleet and getting them ready to mobilize deeper into the jungle
2. Auric Basin: Gathering intel and finding new allies agains the Mordrem(mostly The Exalted)
3. Tangled Depths: Another bit of gathering allies and intel, also Ley Line stuff.
4. Dragons Stand: This area is pretty self explanatory by the name, most interesting bit of the new areas because of the meta event chain.

The 2 areas in between VB and DS exist I think mostly to acknowledge that there’s other sentient life in the jungle other than the mordrem, and the existence of the Jungle dragon isn’t something they are comfortable with, leading naturally to them requiring help and then returning the favor.

Hope that made sense

Thank you, sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar!

Hiya,

This isn’t a criticism, per se, but I am struggling to find the purpose of the expac.

What specifically are we supposed to be doing? is there an over all plan? I have wandered through out Verdant, rambled in Auric and peeped into Tangled so far, but have no sense of any mission per se.

I have been doing stories up to the Holy City, and get that the exalted exist, but what of it? We kill Mordrem in the PS, but what is the point of each zone? Is there one? do people even bother to go into tangled?

Cursed shore, for example, is easy to ‘get’. We are part of the pact mission to reclaim the temples of Orr from the scourge of Zhaitan and destroy him. But does anything we do in these zones have any overall purpose?

I am curious because I feel no compulsion to venture much into Auric whatsoever. Verdant is cute for flying about, what else is there to see? is there anything?

Looking for a carrot
All ive mostly been doing is girding to ward spvp reaper …

Cheers.

Pre-purchase is just a hustle.

It’s that simple for me, I won’t pre-purchase any game.It’s a kitten concept that embraces the release of inferior product. As far as gaming goes…no…I won’t pay to beta test your product regardless of the shinies you offer me.

Outside that I was concerned about the gear grind and by most accounts it sounds like HoT raids will be full ascended gear…with a side of “lf druid then go”.

I’ve played since day one, Prophecies. This was never meant to be a game mechanic.

Now I hear we have to grind out access to skills….SKILLS.

I might be misunderstanding the issue, and if so, I apologize. But I wonder if this update note may apply:

  • Fixed a bug that prevented Adept and Master Elite Specialization achievements from completing in the Heart of the Mists. For characters who had their elite spec achievements broken, a “Specialization Achievement Repair” NPC has been added to the heart of the mists you can speak to who will repair the achievement.

Again, sorry if that’s completely irrelevant, but the discussion reminded me of the note so I wanted to share it in this thread. (IOW, the Repair NPC might be helpful.)

No fucntionality if you already have the weapon /achieve on another toon of the same class. I have 3 necros… so no weapon.
