Guild Wars 2

Haleydawn.3764:

I’m not sure what you think this post will actually achieve outside of venting some anger at a game you don’t even have to play.

I stated that in the first line, this is supposedly a forum a meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged. I don’t expect to achieve anything other than making my opinion heard .

Mostly it expresses sadness at the situation. as i don’t personally agree with the concept.

I wouldn’t dare respond to that post. Never mind I am trying to communicate how little I like wvwe, I am an adult, If I wanted to wvw I would be doing it. I don’t need some flimsy carrot to make it all worthwhile and something I want to throw my hat into,

This is not a job, there is no real gain to doing it, as someone who bought the game , yes, a game, I have my fair shot at saying what I don’t like. or is this forum to pad ego and stroke heads for a job well done?

OtterPaws.2036:

Didnt you need rank 14 in WvW?

Honestly I have no idea, too long ago and too many important thing have happened.

But I vaguely remember eotM provided that.

Hindsight is 20/20

I knew someone would get overexcited about that, I am allowed to not like it or the people in it. Something where I am spending my time towards an aim in a fruitful and fun way would be nice, but I have added my feedback I simply don’t agree and never have with trying to force participation in terrible content through making it a small but essential part of a larger goal.

If I bought doom I wouldn’t expect to have to play a golf simulator to achieve my gun. I buy a game to play the game itself.

as I jhave already said mapping isn’t doinging anything within a map, simply running around, you have 15 minutes to spare you spend 15 minutes running from poi to poi simply mapping. Not trying to build participation.

If memory serves at one point achievement chest were brought in which rewarded badges of honour. As such you simply had to open your chests. and you had a back log if you had enough achievement points.

If I am correct one never had to play WvW

Believe me I would be quite happy to simply earn my gift in pve and leave people who want to be in wvw alone to their own devices. I don’t see why it is so important everybody likes everything whi;le gw tries so desperately to be everything to all. The time spent is less important than the enjoyment, or is this not a game?

Ayrilana.1396:

If you have been playing for that long then you would realize that the current method of getting the gift of battle is just as quick, if not quicker, that it was at launch.

Nope, given I didn’t rush for a legendary so most of my stuff wa already in place when I went for my first, , Nor do I play wvw at all, hating the place as a vile cess pool.

thank you.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

I’m afraid you are a bit late to the party, in the wrong sub-forum, and fortunate with your other Legendaries that you never had to set foot in WvW, as previously (before Desert Borderlands), one had to even map all 4 WvW maps.

Mapping is not having to actually play the maps, simply running from point to point. I have 3 gifts of exploration left so I am well aware of needing to map, however I never had to shoot myself in the foot to force myself to play the drudgery that is wvw. as content.

thank you for the heads up on a previous discussion however, I wasn’t going to trawl the forums for a thread given the search function reports no results for “gift of battle.”

I think this forum is for feedback so here goes:

Is this how this is to be now? Unattainable unless you want to submit yourself to the waste of time that is WvW? Is there another way I am missing to gain this.?

I have been kicking my heels around gw2 since release and gw1 for 7 years before that. These pathetic attempts to push me into this waste of time for a legendary may well be the last straw. If I wanted to play WvW I would already be doing it. I simply have no interest.

I have been enjoying the collections for building spark, jumped the hoops, wasted time building mats but it was all in a game mode I am happy to play. Now i find it was all a massive waste of time and gold since it offers no variation to the final stage of how a legendary is built.

This is not my first legendary, so far I have built Rodgort, flameseeker prophecies, dreamer, meterologicus, but this reward track is just a step too far for me.,

If I want incineratot I need to grind wvw. as far as I can tell.

I guess we’re all out of luck, then, a repair does nothing.

Ihave noticed while using the dreamer it plays the standard bow sounds for me, yet friends tell me they can hear the sound of the unicorns. Is this a recent bug or something I am missing that is quite obvious? This happens on both thief and ranger.

Looking for a recruiting casual/hardcore pve guild from the uk on AG does raids,and (initially, low level fractals)) 30 + or above age average, and does guild bounties.

Alternatively if not is there interest in such a guild?

Thanks.

random words to add bulk.

Not sure where on this forum this should go, But I would imagine guild wars has a place for it.

Anyone know of a recruiting pve guild from the uk on AG, 30 + age, does raids and can provide me with a contact point?

can’t access log in servers issue again.

same issue here, Renaming a character seems to also have issues, unless Anet really has trouble with “ancestor me”, as a name. every name I tried, no matter how unlikely came back as unavailable when using a using a name change contract.

Internet culture suggests this will send the wrong (or perhaps the right for some people) message for anybody whose name starts with a D.

I’m not sure the “Big P” would work out so well either.

I believe the reason they use a specific name is so the voice actors can actually say it and it fits smoothly into any sentence. Personally, I feel “Boss” is a lot more descriptive in how they feel about the PC than a party nickname would be.

Kal Spiro.9745:

They should implement ice into keg brawl

I thought that, then I remembered the barrels already have a slippery ice ability.

I suspect there is a danger it make the game a little too hard for people to just pick up and play. But overall I agree, I think it would add to the fun.

I have to admit I’m enjoying it as is, and I don’t really see the need to add any complaints about difficulty spikes since I’m pretty sure they’ve been covered here a hundred times already and the team is all too aware of them.

Mostly I see a need for a lot more preparation in this world, like having to go back and farm up baubles to access things like the new items or it being wise to run it in infantile mode first to get an idea of the lay of things, which kind of breaks up the flow at times.

Since people of importance are taking notice of this thread: it would be nice, once you have the glove, to be able to reflect the blocks back at the “glove guy” for higher damage, or maybe even a 1-hit kill, on replays.

Just as a little reward to a player for using his own mechanic against him.

Agree with the OP, it might be a little over the top on the slopes surrounding a certain boss but otherwise I really enjoyed it.

I think perhaps it would be better utilised as a dungeon mechanic, rather than open world, where it could really be used to create some interesting fights.

Though I suppose a skating event on the lake in Hoelbrak could be fun.

It’s kind of special when the main gimmick to increase difficulty in a boss fight is abusing an already hopeless camera system.

It more highlights how bad the camera is than anything else, something that is more than sufficiently pointed out simply by the railings on the floating walkway around the arena. Unless one is trying to look down at a fairly steep angle the camera goes mad getting caught on the railings.

Had one just now, first time this has occurred for me. I had just opened the trade post screen, should that make any difference.

3:22 a.m. GMT.

I’m not sure if this is a bug or a design choice, but once into the character select screen everybody on your contact list gets the “X is online” update before one can choose to change the status to “offline” from that screen (at which point everybody on the contact list gets “X is offline”).

That, unless I am missing something, seems to defeat much of the point in having an “offline” option since everyone now knows you’re online anyway.

Additionally, when changing characters while offline, people briefly appear in the guild roster as online.

1-2 seconds of latency on skills and use objects. But it isn’t consistent, sometimes a full fight will pass without issue, sometimes every second attack starts to lag.

One strange effect I have noticed is at times the skill animations will slow a crawl, but continue to move, so a full hammer swing will take 1-2 seconds to complete, then go back to normal speed.

The game is pretty much unplayable at level appropriate or above right now.
