Guild Wars 2

Well i just recently decided to give GW2 second chance. But what i really wanted was a fresh start so i wasnt about picking any of my 3 lvl 80’s . So i made new Hero and BAM . Tone of reward chests, items , gold and stuff for achievement points ( we didint have any rewards for them then i was playing ) . So now no fresh start for me . I have 30gold already lol just for making that new hero and full inventory of crap.

There should be some way to reset your account really ;/ i would like to repeat my trip throu guildwars but not going to buy second game really.

Just a thought

Hm.

Time to time i return to forums to search for inspiration to get back to guild wars 2. I really had a blast back then i was playing but then it just ran out things to do.

Sadly all i find every time i’m back are topics like this one which destroys my hope that something has actually changed and Anet stopped crapping over their game like pigeons.

As i see they havent.

Well out for another month or so.

To make Nutshell even shorter – GW2 has no end game. I just finished Tomb Raider, was at 62% then i did it , it means i’ve missed all hidden areas and stuff like that but i wont even bother searching for them. Same goes to GW2 , you finish story , get to 80 and when what? It should be pvp then but GW2 blew its pvp so bad its not worth time spent playing it.

Well i can give you my opinion as a player who already ‘beat’ this game and left it long time ago.

This game mainly has 2 options. Is either turn its sail to WoW direction and make this infinite Gear Grind so players could burn their time grinding all day long OR go to its origins and make this pvp/title grind oriented game as guild wars 1 was.

It has no future for how it is today ( or atleast was months ago , but as far as im following ‘news’ nothing has changed since ) . Yes you have open world full of stuff to do but people are not like that, they need goals in mmos. As movie needs ending. You need to be constantly heading to something or you quit and guild wars 2 has few goals and they are reached very quickly .

Im not complaining about game, for a one-time purchase this is best game ever produced. What you get for ~50 euros from single player game these days ? 10-15hours of content? at best. I’ve spent 500-600 hours on guild wars 2 and that was 500-600 hours or awesomness to be exact.

Im really looking forward to comeback to this game one day , but for now i cant see any reason to do it since i still have completed game as i was months ago.

Cheers

Heya , i know this type of topics is too boring for most people to respond but maybe some good guy greg will do little spotlight for me how is things going on in guild wars 2 recently. I left game 2-3 months ago i believe mainly because i was out of stuff to do. 4 heros at 80 , geared, 100% map completion and stuff.

Played few other games meanwhile , nothing did catch my attention really so i gave it a thought to maybe resume playing guild wars .

But it s a long download and im curious is there a point to do that ? any major changes , any sirious balancing in spvp ? If someone could enlighten me a bit of how things are today i would be really greateful

must be over 9000

They either dont or they dont care. Nerfing quickness in spvp was result of crying of skilless people in spvp but they also nerfed it in pve which had nothing to do with it. Logic behind that? no clue..

Doing well ? Yes
Is well ? No

You got 1600hours for 60 bucks. What other one-time purchase game gives you that much of game time for that amount of money? Except Guild Wars 1 itself none i presume.

I rarely log myself past weeks cause im not finding much to do in game anymore also but even with 800hours i feel like its money well spent and im not complaining.

I wouldnt saya necros are as bad as some are trying to picture them. My current pvp build which is basically life leaching one ( d/d main , a/f secondary, clerics jew ) is paying off in solo tournaments very well.

I have enough Healing Power to outlive glass cannon burst + boon corruptor/epidemic gives me great chance against bunkers. Lich form is awesome if u see a bigger fight so u can jump straight into and cause some sirious damage.

On the other hand i wont say necros are at good state. We have lots and lots of flaws and poorly designed mechanics.

BUT its not that you cant play or win with necro , it just takes more practice. Out of 55 tourneys played i have 38 wins now. Aint perdect score but not worst one either.

And most importantly i enjoy playing necro

P.S my pvp competentions spreads over 6 classes and over 500 matches so i have a vague clue of whats the situation.

NvN – Nascar vs Nascar

if you are catching irony here

My signature says what i think about ur stupid ‘tiers’.

I basically never die or lose with my life leaching build on necromancer .And bunkers.. just wait few moments for them to stack all their boons and pop boon corruptor and they are gone.

I also do pretty good in my ranger which ends up in the down part of your ‘lists’ also. Ofc if u run into 2 guardians you will die before taking a second breath but if you know where and when to be putting 25 stacks of bleed in someones kitten is free kill for me.

I’ve seen warriors ripping elementalists appart also.

So its up to a player. I believe if u would give a moron a tank he would manage to lose a dual against person with a fork somehow also.

L2P , cheers.

My necro Feros Souleater!

Sorry but this is useless topic what so ever.

If u are not complaining about necromancer beeing bad but only oh him as a class beeing unfun you can then go and complain about half of a stuff in your life.

I find many things unfun. Pop Music,Low budged teenage movies, Terrible designed cars and even boring looking beer cans. But someone actually likes it for some unknown reasons and thats their choise.

Yes , necro isint as entertaining as he was in gw1 but none of the classes are because of simplistic design anet adopted. From Creative gameplay ( and thats apply to any class ) they switched to locked few-viable-build game play.

Look at elementalist! those poor kittens have 1 single viable build now! LOL . Even necros have more.

Personally necro is 1 out of 4 toons i have on 80 and 1 out of 2 toons i use. He is only toon i do spvp on. I used to do that on ranger but now spv kitten warned by them and i find 0 interest in playing over-used class.

You’ve been ANETED my friends.

Why bother fixing stuff if u can just delete,disable or nerf it?

Hint quickness Hint

I dont think that eles are op at all. They are strong and in good hands.. To be honest i cant kill good ele but same goes with any good player. I cant really kill good engi also so i just drop them and go for something else.

Now mesmers. Since they sorted out shatter build out which were one shotting people i dont hink they are op also just really annoying.

Thou both of these classes are on ‘strong’ side netherless. You either boost remaining classses to their level or nerf these 2. It seems nerf is incoming.

My question would be if you can acquire any of face paints later in game ?

I was unfortunate enough to delete mine and now then i finished my necro i really would like to have it for a head piece skin. Sadly all start items are soulbound so i cant transfer it also.

Its a myth. On my alt is shout warrior with full soldiers gear and soldier runes and i really have to put a lot of effort to make mobs attack me cause they just go for squishies while ignoring me.

The irony here is that :

You dont get major fixes because ’ they take time ’ .

You dont get minor fixes because ’ they are low on priority list’ .

What you get thou is..

New back packs.

Yes,cause they are sure at the top of priority list now and game would come crashing from sky without new backpack every week.

Oh you fanny fanny Anet.

I’ve done my monthly in like 3 days and i play 2hours a day max. UMAD monthly?

You must be mistaking what term ‘soldier’ means really. In a war you have infrantry,archers,cavalry,musketmans,cannons and if you are also wtching some fantasy movies – wizards. As long as you are in ‘army’ you are Soldier doesnt matter what you do . Even combat medics are soldiers even thou they might not fire single bullet.

Personally i stop doing story then it hits claw island quest . Did it once on my main , never again. Undeads would be fine but story itself is boring and repeatitive with bad sound acting and dull dialogues.

Simple question. Does it work on shield?

I actually by mistake placed it on wrong item.. shield insted of mace and now im wondering will i have to buy them again.

…. should be removed.

Yes its just a pixels and 95% of guild wars population wont become animal abusers because of that but we have children playing here. Proposing that bashing rabbits or kitties to death is rewardable ( which is what anet is suggesting here ) is wrong and i bet in some form – illegal.

Yes yes this is a game but we have too much violence in games already, why add more?

I also heard some rumors that thiefs might be a bit too strong also… you are 6months late m8

- fixed bug which made some of auto attacks free , now every auto attack will cost 1 gem as intended

Zenith.6403:

What’s wrong with Ranger? Ranger is my most played character and I’ve never felt like it’s “weak” by any standards. One combo with longbow takes out half of opponent’s health in WvW match. It’s not a 1-hit KO like Thief, but the feel of 1500 range is so satisfying.

If you want broken class, take a look at Engineer.

Do you , sir , need a list of whats wrong with a ranger ?

Sahfur.5612:

Sorry, but warrior has given up tricks, sustain, support, range, build diversity, etc for any measure of a strength they have.
They aren’t OP, and the constant whining needs to stop. It really is an L2P issue.
In PVP playing warrior is like chasing cars with a stick.

Necro and ranger need to be buffed. Thats true. Engineer also. Warrior is not OP though, and it continually is nerfed.

Who do you think was tanking for you and helping the dungeons go faster, anyway?

A thief or a guardian can do warriors job better 90% of the time. Warrior zerkers you think are so OP are now so ridiculous to try and run that they probably don’t do nearly as much damage as they should simply because they are on the ground constantly. The omnomberry pie was nerfed and got rid of all remaining viable warrior builds, and we shouldn’t have had to rely on a 5 silver consumable to be almost as successful as the other classes to begin with. Dynamic scaling screwed us because we are purely stat based. Our healing signet was nerfed (we already had no sustain!)

I know alot of necros, and I feel for you, but actually play a warrior before complaining about it. You would be on the ground constantly. We are almost like thieves without stealth but with more damage for a burst at this point. Or a close ranged mesmer with no clones. We have no tricks. Our heals are terrible. It seems most classes got one or two weaknesses built into their profession but ours got all but damage. Alot of health points and toughness don’t help. Simple as that.

I actually do play warrior. Two of my fav classes are ranger and necro. In one of them i invested so much time it would painful to just leave him be or even delete him for good.

Only reason i play warrior is to actually get invited to stuff cause noone wants a ranger and a necro .. they never did

Vorch.2985:

There are plenty of viable classes…

Unless you are talking about rangers or necromancers (necros got SOME love), there are plenty of ways to play in PvE and WvW.

That said, rangers and necromancers need some serious attention.

/hint what class im playing mostly

LETS ALL PLAY WARRIORS (/evil laugh) . Because seemingly its the only class which Anet considers worth of beeing actually working. 1 Tank warrior, 1 Banner warrior and 3 GS warriors to do 11 million damage a second. Perfect in my opinion!

I dont really get why did they even need to add 7 more classes if you have a warrior lulz.

Nah i rarely rage but screw this… not a single freaking fix to any of class in more than 6 months. This must be somekind of record isint it?

I wonder then ’ this is still new game , give them time ’ will stop to be excuse for not doing anything to fix the major game problems..

Ranger here also I love this class but Anet clearly hates is as it does hate us players.

Be sure we will receive new maps,new achievments and lots of other fun but useless s tuff but we wont get a single bug fix to ranger . Why? because it takes time and you cant sell it.

quick answer – no .

Its good as one time purchase but hardly worth 15 or more euros each month.

Yes. Elementalist. He was human… and humans are boring. No clue why did i make him and play him in first play.

Okey thanks goes to Grayson.2375. That was the one i was missing. Should have though it out but oh well.

Thread can be locked , thanks for responses

Vinny.6924:

It is very, very easy to overloom POIs because of how small the are. Unfortunately there is no way of telling exactly what map its needed on.

My best advice is to start with WvW since you need 2 things there. Skim all of EB. Supply camps and the castle. Same thing on the boarderland maps.

Only thing you can do is look sperately at every map.

Done that several time. The thing is that you can check map completion on certain zones even without travelling to them. But also then u are loading zone it it has an start near the name it means its 100% completed netherless.

So okey reason why im posting in general is basically to get more attention to my question and it hopefully will be solved.

At the moment im at 99% map comp. All i need is 1 PoIs and 2 Vistas in Eternal but keep is currently not in our hands so i will have to wait. Where is the problem?

Problem is that even thou i completed all open world , triple checked it today the counter says im on 717 poi’s out of 719. That means im missing 2! How? i have everything on 100% except eternal .. including all the borderland zones.

Im really frustated because it wasted so much time double checking everything and still im out of solutions.

Maybe it something common? A bug or ( what i doubt ) some secret poi you need to know about?

Any ideas or help will be highly appreciated

Not sure is this here yet but just to make it sure cause this one really annoys me.

Then you set your pet on passive and use f2 skill which is buff one like jungle stalkers , he still goes in and attacks enemy after casting his buff.

I must be one of those rare people who doesnt see anything wrong with loot. I have steady amount of gold more or less but im not a farmer. I do few fractals, few dungeon runs ( for tokens mostly ) and thats it. Thou my family isint startving.

Only problem isee is that vets and champs are not even worth killing. Yesterday i soloed jotun mage killer and guess what ? he dropped me a blue.. 1 freaking blue. Yes that is issue for me cause it took long enough and its all i get? ..

Erm doesnt matter i believe. Just bought offensive one today and infused it with 5% agony resistance.

Goettel.4389:

Calling this game “buggy” is hilarious. Let’s take apart your list:

-We still have 0 class balance,
Let me guess: your own classes needs “some love” ? Or perhaps you need to practise ?

-number of classes are bugged badly making certain builds unplayble at all.
Finished four 80’s and had almost no bugs. Feel free to enlighten me on these bugs ?

- Increasing number of perma-stuck events.
There’s far less stuck events than at the game’s start, what’re you on about ?

-Exploits in CM,Arah and etc.
Nothing I’ve run across, are you sure you weren’t looking for them ? (which is a bannable offense BTW)

- The list is long and painful
No, it’s not, you have four items on it, and none of them makes much sense to me.

Normally wouldnt even bother answering but since your manner is so offensice i will.

1. No , im maining ranger and i cant see myself on downside in pvp . Doing pretty well. Thou i pitty necros and warriors. In addition i would like to see thief and mesmer put to their right place in line with another classes not beyond them. 50% of spvp population are thiefs and mesmers for ‘some’ reason.

2. DO you really need a list of bugged skills/traits etc etc? do you srsly? cause u must be joking here

3. I started playing 2-3 months ago and i’ve seen way less of stucked events than i do now. So its really not following improvement path , do it?

4. Searching? i dont know how ppl find these gaps in map design but yes im aware of them. And i dont enjoy them beeing there at all.

So lately we had some nice stuff added.Even more stuff is coming in next major patch. Im really excited about guild missions ,revamped dailies and such. Its nice to see that they are coming up with stuff outside new expansion…

BUT

Every stick has two ends.As much as i like new stuff beeing added to game i would much more prefer see current one beeing fixed. We still have number of gamebreaking problems which havent been fixed since launch.

We still have 0 class balance,number of classes are bugged badly making certain builds unplayble at all. Increasing number of perma-stuck events. Exploits in CM,Arah and etc. The list is long and painful

I prefer quality against quanity really. I would let all new stuff go for 1-2 months in exchange in actual major bug fixing on current content we have.

Im quality guy

How about you?

Why im even asking this? Well i think reason why they are focusing on new content is to keep players playing and maybe get old ones back but atleast for people like me fixing current stuff is way more appealing. Maybe if i not alone here they will turn their attention to major problems we have currently.

Well i can only repeat myself that if they dont want you to reach certain places they should put some extra work in and redesign landscape a bit, making certain gap tighter or rock higher so you wouldnt have a chance of passing it anyway.

Now then you have gap size of 2 charrs but you cant fit an asura there.. its a bit odd. Plus you have few opposite situations. My main is charr but i found myself falling throu rabbit holes few times size of a ball.

So yeah, basically if they dont want us to get to certain areas or force us to fight our ways throu they could atleast do that in style , not by placing invisible walls.

“Poor World Design” is really last word combination to describe Guild Wars 2 world. Thou invisible walls are haunting this game.

No its not game breaking

Yes we have way more and way more sirious problems right now

BUT

It really drags overall appearence of game down. Then you see a gap beetwen rocks which will allow you to save several minutes of running around and you just simply cant pass it because u are blocked by invisible wall it gets frustrating. It gets even more then you find 2-3 in every zone.

It really adds this stink of incompletion and sense of ‘rushing’ to overall appeal of the game.

Redesigning few rocks there and here could boost games appearence really well.

Yeah nerf one of most broken classes because thiefs and mesmers are fine and not op at all.

Cheesus people stupidity keeps me amazed still.

This bug is around for atleast 2 or 3 months now and they dont give a rats kitten about it.

xCrusadentx.2784:

Use on the Ranger; shortbows are much more effective on a ranger than a thief imo.

The thief shortbow DPS far exceeds that of the Ranger shortbow DPS – it’s actually laughable how noticeable it is – it’s why my ranger doesn’t get any WvW airtime any more.

I just take the thief out instead.

And i wonder how do Anet doesnt see that as nonsense.

First of all i will note that im former guild wars 1 player and that strongly effects my opinion on the matter.

I dount i will say anything new here but these are things which must be said over and over again until certain people will finally realise that they are necessity to keep guild wars 2 alive.

I’ve played many mmorpgs in my time and most of them , better or worse , had one same problem which haunted them .. its PvE. No im not against PvE. Im against PvE endgame. Why PvE is bad as endgame model :

1. Making new content takes months or even years but people will crack it open in few weeks or even days . Hint : any major mmorpg
2. Constant ‘need’ to make new content lowers actual quality of content. Hint : any major mmorpg .
3. Need of constant content renewal doenst leave any time to fix actual problems but only makes more . Hint : any major mmorpg

and the list could go on.

Yes, PvP as endgame has its flaws also. One for example no income from selling worthless and poorly made expansions.. yet again hint any major mmorpg on the scene now.

But pros are higher and stronger than cons will ever be.

Introducing ladders will keep players busy for long time. You have time to fix bugs, rebalance game and even work on new game modes,classes or whatever.

Lets take such game as counter strike. Its old as hell , has limited amount of maps and weapons but is still played after 10++ years. Why? Because even with same weapon at same place you will get different experience since you are facing different person. Hint : guild wars 1.

And dont quit yet, lets take any PvE based endgame . Same place = same experience due limited variaty of actions ‘mobs’ can do. Once you get how to beat him its permanent loop of making same actions.

At the end of day PvP endgame is easier to manage for developer and way more entertaining and rewarding for us players. If it would be xmas time i would wish you Anet you get back on right track insted of trying to mimic other companies paths.

The moment this game will receive first mount im uninstalling it forever.

I still would prefer them working on issues which really matters , for example classes. Some of classes of which i have 2 are still haunted by terrible bugs which brakes game for us , thiefs still own spvp , warriors still does ridiculous amounts of damage at pve scene and generally we have no balance at all.
