Guild Wars 2

Hi, just wondering if its possible to get a refund for a digital purchase of this game, bought it from the website, you guys can disable the account or whatever it is you need to do I just want to see if I can get my money back. I won’t go into the reason why because I don’t want to start an argument, Just wanna see if I can get my monies back, thanks.

I just kinda stopped playing….its been like almost a month since I last logged on, too many other things to do since Steam had those awesome sales, Anet will have to use some pretty tasty bait to reel back this fish ._.

Hrm really? They specifically said there will NEVER be any increase in gear stats? Like you heard one of them say those exact words? Cause if they only mentioned something that sounded similar its not the same, as before the manifest is NOT a contract. They are free to change and add whatever content they want to the game. I mean they created Guildwars 2 they didn’t have us harping on them and look how great it turned out.

I never suggested that their manifesto is a contract, nor that they are somehow forbidden from changing the game as they see fit. In the same spirit, I am allowed to provide my feedback.

Yes, they did say that they won’t have higher-stat gear. Most recently reiterated (to my knowledge) in a blog post by Colin Johanson a few months before release: http://www.arena.net/blog/is-it-fun-colin-johanson-on-how-arenanet-measures-success

In my opinion, their single stat plateau without a gear treadmill is one of the things that makes Guild Wars 2 so great. Without that, I am much less interested in staying with this game in the long term. It might still be great (or greater!) for others, which is fine, just not for me.

Hrm yes I read that blog to, allow me to pull a part of it,

Fun impacts loot collection. The rarest items in the game are not more powerful than other items, so you don’t need them to be the best. The rarest items have unique looks to help your character feel that sense of accomplishment, but it’s not required to play the game. We don’t need to make mandatory gear treadmills, we make all of it optional, so those who find it fun to chase this prestigious gear can do so, but those who don’t are just as powerful and get to have fun too.

They don’t need to make gear treadmills, they just now chose to do it, its optional, your not being forced to grind for it, and those that will might have a slight advantage over others, but a game the boasts the skill of a player this shouldn’t make a whole lot of difference right? Seriously you guys are blowing this way out of proportion.

Yes, they don’t need to make gear treadmills. Yes, they chose to do this. No, it is not optional – in fact they explicitly include a gating mechanic as part of the new gear in addition to the stats.

You’ll also note that they say the player shouldn’t need the latest gear – that the player would still be “just as powerful” without it. How is that not explicitly broken here?

How am I blowing it out of proportion? They said they wouldn’t do this. Now, they apparently are doing this. At what point have I exaggerated?

Yes, the percentage change in stats here is fairly small. It is not the percentage that actually matters, it is what the increase itself represents. As I said in my post addressed to Mr. Whiteside, if this is not an intentional implementation of gear treadmill, then what purpose does the increase in stats serve? If the difference truly is insignificant, then why increase the stat cap at all?

The increase in stats is simple, players wanted more end game content, or thats what was said, honestly though I could care less, I’m just glad they give a kitten to even give us more content, and yes another player can be just as powerful without ascended gear, keep in mind our individual builds are stat driven, you might have a few additional stat perks but in the long run it won’t decide the outcome of a skill driven battle.

Higher stats does not equal more end game content, nor are higher stats necessary for more end game content.

No one is upset about the addition of new content here – in fact, as I said to Mr. Whiteside, I’m sure most if not all people here are very pleased to be getting new content this month.

A player with exotic gear cannot be just as powerful as a player with ascended gear. It is mathematically impossible. As demonstrated in their example of an ascended item alongside a level 80 exotic item, ascended items have a higher stat cap.

If the difference in stats is truly insignificant, why did they add it at all? (Yes, I did ask this question already, and you did already answer, but as I address in my first paragraph here your answer is nonsensical.)

Just what is your point here?

Your arguing and using ascended stats as an example even thought the actual content has yet to be released? Everything is only based on assumptions given by the little bit of info that was fed to us, so which statement is nonsensical again? And in a skillbased game power isn’t everything, just cause someone is decked out in better gear doesn’t mean they will have some advantage over another player, your basically just throwing around numbers, it will be the same when the ascended gear is released.

Chris Whiteside.6102:

I’d like to respond to concerns players have raised about ascended items. Please keep in mind that we’re releasing this as one portion of a massive November update that introduces and improves many aspects of challenge, progression, and rewards. With this and upcoming updates, we view ourselves as introducing large amounts of content with supporting systems and features, akin to an expansion pack, building on Guild Wars 2 through a series of live releases. So it’s important for us to be able to add an expansion pack’s worth of progression and rewards to support that content.

Our goal is not to create a gear treadmill. Our goal is to ensure we have a proper progression for players from exotic up to legendary without a massive jump in reward between the two. We will slowly add the remaining ascended gear items and legendary items in future updates to allow people time to acquire them as we add exciting new content that deserves exciting rewards. We will not be adding a new tier of gear every 3 months that we expect everyone to chase after and then get the next set and so on.

Ascended and infusion rewards will be available in both PvE and WvW over time, and be made available through all sorts of content around the world including existing content. PvP will remain unaffected to ensure our intended PvP balance going forward. We are also working on other reward and progression systems for the game that tie into current and new content and features. As you know we care very much about your support and opinion and are listening intently to what you say.

Finally we look forward to hearing your thoughts on the upcoming content, and we will ensure we share our thoughts with you on the experiences we share in the Lost Shores.

Chris Whiteside – Studio Design Director

Thank you for the post, Mr. Whiteside.

I think it’s pretty safe to say that most people here are thrilled to get new content in the game, with new challenges and new equipment skins.

But if your goal is not to create a gear treadmill, why up the stat cap for level 80 items? You say that you want to have proper progression between exotic and legendary, and I think that’s perfectly reasonable considering the different in level of effort between exotic and legendary gear. But there is (currently) no stat difference between the exotic and legendary. These new ascension stats are not bridging any gap, they are creating a new gap.

What purpose is the increase in stats supposed to serve?

You suggest that you won’t be adding new tiers of gear every 3 months, but frankly what assurances do we have of that? You (ArenaNet, not you personally) have said before that there won’t be an increase in gear stats in this manner. If you go through with the stat increase from exotics to ascended items, why should we believe that you won’t do this again in the next content release?

Hrm really? They specifically said there will NEVER be any increase in gear stats? Like you heard one of them say those exact words? Cause if they only mentioned something that sounded similar its not the same, as before the manifest is NOT a contract. They are free to change and add whatever content they want to the game. I mean they created Guildwars 2 they didn’t have us harping on them and look how great it turned out.

Thanks for the response Chris,

I’m happy to hear you guys are gonna push through the content and look forward to seeing what changes are made in the nov updates….hopefully some class fixes squeezed in there.

Bhelliom.5324:

Well looking at it from Anet’s stance now they have to options:

Let the content go live and loose a shed tone of players and mabey keep the people that want some progess but they will go in a couple of weeks anyway once they have completed the content.

Or

Pull the content and mabey start to recover the damage already caused. However no one trusts the company now so this will be harder.. ohh yes and they have their self pride to worry about…

Hmm… well i think the odds are on the patch going live.. they cant let their self pride down……

Or third option, ignore everything you say since you obviously don’t know how marketing practices work, this is content that is tied to an EVENT, it cannot be altered, changed or in someway delayed no matter how much QQing people do, god I wish people would realize this, This is a chain of events, they cannot just flip a magic switch to undo over weeks maybe even months of planned strategy and MONEY that went towards this content. Just be lucky we are even getting content to an already amazing game, if you don’t like the asscended armor tiers than thats fine. Don’t try and lump the entire community in with your own ideals. No one person speaks for everyone. When this topic hits 1000 pages then you can say a good chunk of players are against this.

Crow.6504:

When i read these comments i dont know whether i should cry or laugh , honestly , most of you complain about people whining , about how Anet is catering to people that didnt play GW1 , yada, yada, yada, yada.
Who the hell cares about GW1 , this is GW2 .
The problem is that most of you who are defending GW1 , complaining about change etc, etc , must really be bored because you waste your time here on the forums , WHINING like babies , the game needs new content and the game needs changes , Anet has seen it and 80 % of the other players who are not posting here have seen it , so if youre not happy , go play GW1.
I really think that its the feeble minded that complain about something that has’nt even been exposed yet , so dont judge , wait and see , kitten how backward can this get!!

This sums up everything nicely, regardless how you “feel” about the changes, they are happening cause Anet is efficient like that, any changes made now would result in content being pushed back and they have a strict schedule to keep, this is probably WHY they didn’t give us much info about the updates, they predicted this type of response, meaning all this whining was a planned variable.

Ironangel.1548:

How many pages will it take for a response? 110 or 420?

Bad idea is bad.

Its called riding out the storm, they are basically getting a compiling of peoples complaints, ie they are only hearing "I don’t like this idea, they are not staying true to the manifesto, I want this….I want that blah blah, Honestly you make it sound like the community has any say in the matter. People can moan and complain….kick and scream all they want until they are blue in the face, but the bottom line is most if not all will log in the next day when content is released. The “Im gonna quit” scare tactic that people try to use to give them some sense of accomplishment doesn’t work on anet, they got your money, your basically just hanging on for the ride. And after this weekend they are gonna attract a whole new fanbase with the annoucement of the higher stat tier armor.

Well to be honest maybe they are trying to appease the people who are you know….not that skillful at the game? Maybe the edge is a way for them to play on even footing with others, and of course to those that are already quite skillful your kitten rating will go up and WvW and pvp will get that more challenging…..now heres hoping they don’t screw up the class fixes..

I too am happy with new armor tiers, I don’t see how people are getting so bent out of shape for, seriously yes you will have to likely transmute into your armor, its YOUR choice to spend money in a cash shop, or just do your dailies….or heck even start another toon and just complete a few maps, I have something like 50 transmutation stones from just normal progression….no one is twisting your arm to spend money on cash shop its you that choose to be lazy and make the purchase.

lol, They have seen the exact same response to their class nerfs, actually they see an incredible amount of negativity after each content update, but its as I said before they will just take the responses with a grain of salt, because with every complaint there is probably 2-3 positive responses….or it could be vice versa, no real way to tell. In anycase as I stated before I’m looking forward to more gear and more content, it makes me wonder how far Anet will take this….now if they would only work at their armor designs to accompany these new tiers of armor and possibly future releases. Come on anet do NOT just improve stats, give the sets appearances worthy of being between exotic and legendary tier.

pfft, I for when welcome higher stat gear, gives me something to work towards cause I know I sure as hell won’t be aimming for legendaries anytime soon, way too go anet! , Besides you know they are just gonna ignore the QQing from people since the content is already primed and ready for release.

Actually something interesting about the exe file, if your computer doesn’t meet the specs it won’t download the game or exe file, but you can “trick” the program into forcing the install, basically run the exe file it should display the login screen briefly before crashing, let it crash then find the path to your guild wars 2 folder where it was installed to, after the crash if you don’t already have a Gw2.tmp file there should be one displayed, delete your Gw2.exe file and rename the Gw2.tmp file to Gw2.exe, it should change the icon into an exe executable file, double click on the file and let the game update/download and boom your in, you will have to repeat the above steps every time there is an update, and this doesn’t stop it from crashing in game. But it allows me to play on my work computer which doesn’t have the required specs to run the game., Hope this helps!

You wanna screw with the bots? Pick up some novelty items like fireworks, and drop them in the bots path, they will pick them up, and you haven’t seen funny until you see a train of bots armed with fireworks trying to kill mobs :P

ALSO if you see any bots close to where a champ spawns, lure the champ mob to them, wait for their party to get wiped out…DON’T leave…wait for their “human” handler to appear which they usually do aka the guy monitoring the bots, Report him and BOOM, you seriously screw with their operation.

Hrm, in my opinion Anet wants DR to remain so that if a player gets desperate enough rather than grinding for that nice weapon they will buy it, if they don’t have the funds for it they might entertain the idea of buying gems and exchanging for gold, and thus they make money…course this is just my opinion as to why I think they won’t touch DR and leave it the way it is. No DR they lose a profit margin.

Wow….are people actually having trouble in Orr? Lol, maybe its cause I’m used to the playstyle, anyway allot of people that have been complaining lemme ask you this, are you trying to SOLO Orr? you do realize that the dev’s made it purposely difficult to solo this area to promote co-operative situations? However as a warrior you should have no problem pulling 4-5 mobs at a time and possible a vet for good measure, geeze even Ele can solo most area’s, you just need to learn to pick your battles, observe their movement patterns and soon you’ll be able to look at a mob and know that he could cause issues for you, example would be the risen farmers, they move VERY fast and have a knockdown attack that they can spam, I always try to pull these guys in with as few mobs as possible….you’ll learn or just steer clear from Orr :P

Oh and FYI, you CAN run past risen, you just need to get used to where their agro points and field of vision are, and yes they have FOV apparently, same for a few of the bosses, like that giant eyeball, you can hide behind the rocks on its path and so long as you stay out of its FOV you won’t agro it :P

MAKE GOLD ACCOUNT BOUND or put a limit to how much gold you can send to someone…like maybe 2-5 gold max for a 24 hour period….THAT would put a serious monkey wrench into gold sellers plans while not completely alienating players….Oh you need to borrow 10 gold? No problem heres 5 gold but we will have to wait until tommorrow to transfer the rest. In turn this would mean people who buy large incriments of gold from Gold sellers will have to wait a good while to receive the gold, and Anet would be able to tag the unusual transaction log through the mail…..so Bobby has been getting 5 gold from this same person every day for the past 1-2 weeks….yeah something fishy there.

So is there a particular set I should roll with then? I hear that Cleric set is excellent for survivability but Id still like to retain high DPS numbers if possible.

Hello,

As I said I’m currently going to rework my Ele, I stopped using her about a month ago since she was the first toon I made, since then I have a level 80 ranger and Level 80 warrior but I’m ready to return to Ele with what Ive learned

So basically I’m looking for builds/ideas for a good solo/dps/survivablity, I was running heavy with bleeds and condition stacks so 30 on earth….but I’m wondering if there is something better, My gear is mostly for MF which I aim to correct, SO I’m looking for builds and suggestions for runes, traits and gear, any help would be grand thanks!

Edit: OH almost forgot, this build will be used for mostly PVE!

Actually nevermind, sorry that was just me fuming, I understand that the process to get the bugs worked out in the ranger will have to go through an extensive QA testing procedure, its not fair to blow up at you guys for not doing the impossible. Take as much time as you guys need to properly fix the issues with ranger classes and hopefully it will appease to the people who have been complaining [like myself] about the class balancing, again sorry about the previous post for some reason I can’t delete it. :/

Hrm, well I run with a warrior, and while HB is nice its my dual axes that seem to reek more damage, And yes you can go heals with warrior which is extremely useful in WvW, I have spec’d into that with shouts heals and I can hold my own fairly well against 1-2 people at a time at facepoint, more if I decide to go with more mobility. But the base heal gives me about 6k, my shouts heal for 3-4k, Plus I run an almost constant 25 stacks of might at all times by smartly managing my CD’s, [For great Justice] [Signet of Furry] [Signet of Might], Its my gear that makes this all possible which is the same for most classes Im asuming, when I want to go with heals I equip my Healing based Gear, High DPS is my Berserk gear.

Honestly? The event didn’t really phase me either way, I still spent most of my time at Cursed Shore, I can easily farm 15-20 exotics with the time it would take to run the Mad King dungeon 10-15 times with only getting junk as my reward. Though I will admit the candy nodes were kinda annoying, it would have been nice to only have them in lower leveled area’s or something since I rather come across a rich mythril node then a candy one :/. But it was still an amusing distraction for the time, I really couldn’t care less about achievements, its all about blinging out your character heh.

People need to realize, adding elements to the game isn’t as simple as bringing up a list of achievements and just typing something in and uploading it to the game, however small stuff like that has to go through a brief QA process, and there is always the potential of it causing serious issues with other elements of the game, nothing is ever as cut and dry as people think especially with Real time code programing, and everytime they have to upload a new build it costs them money. I for one reeeeally don’t want to go back to broken achievements/events if at all possible.

This is why you should only dungeon run with guild members, very very little risk of this occuring especially since our guild is full and no one would risk the chance of being kicked out. :P

Ya, it wouldn’t be odd to cater to every single countries natural disaster, it would be impossible, cause doing so might annoy the players that are able to continue playing. As selfish as that may sound its the way the world works, people can express concern over others as much as they like but when it comes down to Anet has the final say and it was already stated that the events are not going to be pushed back, but I remind everyone that we get a big update on Nov 15th! Hopefully the damage from Sandy will be recovered enough to at least give you guys power and access to your homes.

I think it was mainly due to the public outbursts in regards to the last animation fix….or so thats what was stated, people started to speculate that the fix was a means to combat botting since the SB was the rangers bots weapon of choice, so in a way I am excited to see what changes happen for the Ranger class, if they completely fix the pet system that would be more than enough for me, anything else after that is just icing on the cake.

I actually never thought about it that way, cause if something similar occurs down the road then people will quote back to what Anet did here if they did make some special exception due to the circumstances. Still hope you guys stay safe and take care of your families!

It could be the code in the game, they might have a preinstalled method of just introducing events by pulling from a pool of pre determined NPC’s and locations, introducing a foreign element to the code could cause issues and only push back any events to come…though this is entirely only speculation.

Actually they stated already in another thread that Nov 15 will be a big content update patch, so if its not addressed this week perhaps then? Still sooner would be better, please buff ranger! Rangers need love too

Martin Kerstein.3071:

We heard your questions about extending the Halloween event for those of you effected by Sandy. Unfortunately we cannot do that, but the reason why we can’t is exciting: We are preparing for our big November update, which will start on November 15, and there will be content that will be in the game prior to that, leading up to the event. But we also want to use this moment to remind you all that your personal safety is much more important than any computer game. If you could be affected by the storm, please listen to the authorities and take every precaution to ensure you and your loved ones are safe. Tyria will still be there once the storm is over.

“See I mentioned this before, I knew anet had a schedule and when one thing gets extended everything gets pushed back, and the other special theme events as well, though I will admit a huge content update was surprising, but in a good way.

Sorry got that mixed up heh x_x

Ignore the bit about the trading post then, but still the farming of the dungeon is accurate enough. :P

Ok lets look at this from a business standpoint, they could extend the event by a few days but this also runs the risk of damaging the games economy with the flood of halloween rares, I’m sure why there is no CD for the almost pathetically easy dungeon is because players would only have a few days to run it, extend the event a few more days….actually you guys would be looking for a week….then this gives players that much more time to farm the MK dungeon and flood the Trading Post with Halloween rares, Yes it is unfortunate that people won’t be able to log in, still extending the event till the disaster is over which recovering could take a week might be beyond Anets ability.

Only saw him teleport back up from the lowest level once, and it was due to someone dying and not dealing the final bit of dmg to him, they ported to the WP and he followed :/

Just remember you only have one life, there is always next year for a video game event, and more than likely Anet will not extend the event, mainly because I think they are following a schedule, each event is set for such and when they push it back everything gets pushed back, I think they will adopt the same mentality, “there is always next year”.

I’ll probably run it like 20 times tonight, its especially fast when you know the shortcut locations, yay suicide jumps! lol

Hrm, WvW will be veeeery interesting in the next few weeks, since half my ….actually maybe more of my guild live in Canada….like me, CANADA RULES!

Sandy wasn’t invited to the party

If I get any of the skins except for GS, Im gonna sell them, gratz on Mad moon though.

Its not bad, I mean the whole thing only takes 15-20 min, sometimes even faster depending on the group, but those of us that stacked MF were getting exotics from the first 4-5 runs, Mostly the lower leveled classes don’t stack MF in the dungeon…or they shouldn’t…I always just swap my gear just before opening chest.

Search Magic find on the forums and see the results yourself, Anet never confirmed or debunked it, and people have run personal tests, but since there is no way to see how magic find influences the drops its difficult to get an accurate reading, but everyone comes to the same conclusion, It has an effect on more than just mob drops.

Yeah pretty sure they already confirmed that MF DOES effect drops in chests/bags and Mystic forge, so excuse me while my little MF percentage gets an exotic while you get crap junk.

But even running with 150% MF, you’d think that something would drop, so best bet just to keep repeating the runs? It would be great if Dev could comment and confirm if there is DR on the chest or its just really really rare chance.

Ok well this is open for debate, I kinda see why this would be in the dungeon but still since there is no token system then there are no real rewards to work towards, anycase to those unfamiliar with DR or Diminished Returns, its basically a system code in the game that prevents players from farming a particular area for loot/drops, when it kicks in your drops/chests are reduced to crap and junk items, me and a bunch of guild mates ran MK dungeon 15-20 times straight, after the first 7 times we all noticed that the boss chest was no longer giving out decent items, there were several cases where we all got the same junk loot. Now can someone from Anet confirm this? If there is DR in the dungeon then I will not run it so many times straight or take a break between runs to give the DR a chance to end.

name some high levels that are willing to deal with a random low level laying dead waiting for assistance… i personally had several run right by me through the crypt and not one of them even thought to res or help me

Hrm I thought I heard something squish when I ran by… kitten my boots are dirty again

Its true, I tried to go toe to toe with the madking costume and he basically kitted me to death, cause of his skills I was in a pretty much constant daze, and if things got really heated for him he would just disappear? But usually I see them run into large groups and chain those two daze+fear skills together, can’t attack back during this time and when I finally get out of it he’s usually a good piece away from me or Im dead :/

Yup, giving them a week grace period being a rule out my judgement.

Yeah remove ranger from the game, that will fix ALL your problems anet.
