Guild Wars 2

Totally agree. Lock the loot, give no achievements but please let casual players have access to the story and lore. Give the raid maps an open world version for exploration and lore. Please stop walling off story content.

TPMN.1483:

….It’s funny commanders are there to help explain and lead.
We cannot do everything – we need help, people to listen and co-operate.
……
Learn more to work together – HoT requires it !

Could not agree more.

Same issue here sadly.

I love GW2, I love the play style, the artwork and the story. I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful game.

I do not like pvp or wvw. Therefore that is a part of the game I do not play. Its just not my cup of tea, but many who do like to play pvp/wvw have nothing but good things to say about it.

One thing I am not enjoying is the 4-5% of the map completion that forces me to go into these areas. I want my completion so I will push through but honestly for me its has spoilt my enjoyment simply because I am pushed into doing something I do not enjoy.

If I had known I would just not work towards it but at the start I had no clue I would have to go into the battle grounds and I only discovered I needed to do that when I completed all the pve world maps and was sat at 94%.

Maybe in the future you could have pve map completion and wvw map completion as two separate achievements?

Thanks for reading.

Tried again today – still bugged.

Cannot access Scholar Breadan for Treasure Hunter Collection as – Clear Broken Spit of the Risen sea creatures replicating themselves – is broken.

Cannot target replicator’s.

Please note this is the second day I have been unable to complete the event and or access the NPC.

Tired again today Tuesday 9th June – Still Bugged.

Not a good idea to penny pinch from you player base.

Dear Anet,

I played GW1 and play GW2 every day. I pre-purchased Heart of Thorns as soon as it was available and cannot wait to head off into battle. I have one of every profession max’ed and I enjoy them all. I play PvE, WvW and since ‘PvP 101’ I have begun to enjoy that too. The game is beauty, with rich lore and a development team who are dedicated, talented and love the game as much as we fans do.

So before I share my thoughts I wanted to honestly thank you for creating a game which has enrich my share time and given me many happy hours.

That said, I am honestly disappointed with the last episode Victory or Death and here is why:

- No Risk, No Reward
There is no real sense of danger during this final episode. Even with Destiny’s Edge doing their best ‘I like to stand in fire and die’ routine. Consequently I felt no sense of accomplishment when I completed it. It is hard getting the balance right in this area but I feel you may have gone too far into the comfort zone.

- Destiny’s Edge AFK
It’s a solo instance and it’s on me to get it done, but the lack of DE’s involvement killed any chance of immersion. When they were there they stood in ground effects and perished, when on the Airships they were tethered out of combat. The only way to engage them in any way was to stand on top of them once on The Glory of Tyria. I felt like a team of one and I do not think that was intentional.

- When a Boss is not a Boss
The mechanics of the Zhaitan encounter were non-existent. The cut scenes killed him, I was a passive observer. I found killing the first few champions at the beginning of Arah more challenging than the Elder Dragon Zhaitan. Sadly he just clung to that tower, looking fantastic, but doing nothing of real note.
It’s so disappointing that I had all the build up, with the many story missions, scavenger hunts, and the cleansing of Orr which held so much promise but left me wanting.

- Meaningful Rewards
The gem store keeps the game up and running day to day. I support it and enjoy the cosmetic rewards, toys and utilities it provides. However when I have just invested a large amount of time and effort into completing the personal story I would like a meaningful reward. Is it too much to ask that when we complete The Pact storyline we are given the option of an actual Pact weapon skin? That toe in the water of the gem store skins could even tempt more players to engage with more Black Lion collections.

- Worry for New Players
The personal story will, for many new players, be there introduction to a deeper understanding of the main characters, combat and story of GW2. I fear that in its current state it will put some off even trying Season 2 or Heart of Thorn. This would be unfortunate indeed as Season 2 and HOT are vastly superior in both combat, storytelling and player immersion. It may hurt to have to invest time and money in ‘old world’ content, but I think you will lose more money in the long term if you do not.

GW2 needs new players not just because it’s better for your balance sheet but because its better for us players too; therefore I would like to see any road blocks which could turn them away bulldozed.

I hope I have been fair and constructive in my comments. This is not a personal attack on any individual but an honest point of view from a loyal customer. I know not all will share my opinion, but I know many who do and I only ask you consider the subjects raised.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

Kindest regards
