Guild Wars 2

Hate this update.
No consideration for small guilds – again.
Added WP costs having to port twice in a map, probably fairly often.
Going to have to be forced to play a world boss at a given time. I don’t play 24/7.
Who said I wanted to play with loads of people in a map? What happens to people who are not in my FL or guild? I regularly talk to the same people in a city like DR for example, yet do not speak to them outside that. With this new system, I will likely not see them again. Or rarely if so. These systems always claim to be smart and ‘know’ who I like to play with, but in my experience they always fail.
Harvesting each map is now going to be insanely time consuming without the use of user updated maps. You’ll never know where you will end up.

Does this mean that I will not be on my home server anymore? I don’t want to get put on some lame low population server. I picked a high population one for a reason.
Only good thing is that guilds will be able to share influence across worlds at some point. Otherwise I hate this update.

Dislike this.

I don’t like being forced into certain times in order to complete something in a game. I don’t play the game 24/7.

It is time for the QQer’s to admit they weren’t doing F/U anyway.

Not the point at all.
There is no need to remove content from the game just because 80% dislike it. The other 20% not get a say?

Poor decision here Anet. I do not ever see a good reason to remove content in a game unless it is broken. As others have stated, there is always someone who does enjoy it. Having a fourth path like Arah wouldn’t have diminished the new one at all.

Saying it is for story reasons is just stupid. Repeatable dungeons make no sense story wise anyway.

I got to say I agree with the OP on this. The living story, as gameplay, is generally quite fun and entertaining. However, none of it makes any sense.

I mean, what exactly are the Dragons doing at the moment? Just watching us fight each other constantly? LA and Divinity’s Reach have both been attacked now. Surely these godlike dragons would have thought “I should attack at the same time whilst they are weak, and completely crush everything”.

To me, the LS story events just seem to be farm after incohesive cutscene after farm. With no continuity at all.

I have enjoyed them all none the less, however a point comes when I’d like my characters storyline to progress – not just killing villain after villain.

Bump. Same thing here too. No one in party can enter. All getting the error.

People need to stop arguing about this issue.
In any RPG/MMO styled game, there is a random/RNG/luck based loot system. Has been for a long time, and will continue. – Grinding, is in many of the same types of games, and all grinding is, is giving yourself a greater chance to get lucky. (By killing more mobs – for example – you have a higher chance to get loot).

If we are honest, most people do not like either of these, as people want guaranteed results in life. However, in game; These two systems, ARE needed. There is no other fair way for loot to drop. If we had mobs that had precise loot. 90% of the game would end up being neglected, and a spiral of needing to add more and more into the game as the items would become common would happen.

We need random drops in games for them to function. That is why they were made in the first place.

The worst RNG in the game is the one that rewards luck

There’s another sort?

Lol. That’s what I thought.

If you guys read the bug part of this forum, instead of make comments about what Hickeroar said, you’d know he is right.

There are TONES of people, myself included, who have serious issues connecting and playing the game after every patch. I cannot play for about a day after one. It’s completely server side.

TheOneNOnlyGeneralBama.9586:

Two of the game’s strongest duelist gets exclusive access to the new condition , punishing those who make a subtle attempt at movement whilst they’re insanely mobile and potent in trickery.

#Keyboardturnersrejoice!

I agree.

Not sure about this update….

I have to agree with the OP.

I do agree Thieves need another condition like some have said (I have one myself), however .. a condition based on movement, from a class you need to avoid is kinda ridiculous.

This same issues happens to me after every patch, normally for the next day or so. Has started like the OP for a month or so.

It is extremely annoying and needs to be fixed asap. Especially with things like LS, with a new patch constantly. I can barely have a good gaming day without an error pop-up and my FL/ Guild panel and chat box all refreshing every 10 mins.

Thank god! Thanks Evan.

I personally like having right click to target, it is the same in virtually every game, and makes it far easier to play at high speed. Hope it gets fixed asap.

There should be an option to turn it off, for the weirdos who don’t like it though

Same thing for me. Desolation – University of Tyira.

Party is fine, and FL is fine. Most of my guilds have bugged out. Everything is gone.

I know these things have probably been mentioned before, but they are a few things I’d like to see added to the game.

1. I would very much like the Fog of War on the map to stay uncovered on all characters after one has discovered the area. Hearts/POI etc can all be required again for obvious reasons, but the actual FOW and map should remain uncovered.

2. Would be nice to see the total and remaining HP of the mobs on their health bars.

3. One thing that really needs to be added is the ability to preview items on the Trading Post.

4. Would be great to have a LFG channel or system of some kind for dungeons.

5. As many, many people have suggested. Being able to duel one another would be a nice addition.

Just a few things that I think would make the game better.

Some one with common sense for once.

4 exotics for a three hour fight fine give me a chance at that 3 hours and i would be happy to do it what is the PITA is i wasnt given a chance having an event once at a time that might be fine for people West coast USA but a kitten for people the other side of the pacific.

Played since beta currently have 4 exotics you plaed for 3 hours got 4 exotics what is fair about that?

I sympathise with you mate. If you were unable to attend, that is unfortunate. Hopefully you will be able to make the next one-time event.

However, even your argument is why I am saying what I am. No one cared to do the event, and people are less bothered about missing it, than missing on the loot. Why should ‘you’ get something if you didn’t earn it. 4 exotics isn’t even that big a deal. — On a side note. If you’ve been playing since beta and only have 4 exotics, you are doing something wrong.

IV Endu.8920:

The better question Gergolot, is why do you feel so strongly against it?

I am not alone. It’s simple. Same with anything. People want stuff without doing anything. Why should someone who didn’t participate in the 2-3 hour event be given loot?

I think the idea to give the chest to all is completely insane.

I understand if you get DC’d during the event, I was such a person, had to go back about an hours worth of event. I spent a good few hours on it, and for someone to go to chest after doing nothing, I speak for a large portions of players, I’d be pissed to say the least.

As some have said, may as well just mail everyone a set of exotics for stepping on the island. ¬_¬

And the players who participated during the lag fest on Friday and Saturday? They deserve the nothing they received? Naturally.

Didn’t say that. I think each part should have given rewards. But part 1 and 2 were very short and easy compared to part 3.
I missed part 2, so wouldn’t have expected a reward for that.

I honestly don’t give a flying kitten if people could just grab the chest right now without putting in some work. I for sure know people feel HELLA cheated just because of one-time events.

What’s it to you that more people get exotics? To me that’s a cheaper market. Word.

Why do you feel cheated? I had a good time in the event. My server (and overflow) did well, the fight was hard and took a long time. So having 4 exotics was a just reward. If everyone were able to just come into the hive once it was over and grab the loot, it’d just diminish the reward for everyone who’d spent ages doing it.

If that is selfish then I’m sorry. I just don’t see why people should get rewards for doing nothing.

1.
I enjoyed the event. Also enjoying the game in general. Up until this weekend I thought the player base was sound. A small portion are clearly not.

Only thing I’d suggest is to test the event scales next time, the lag was beyond a joke.

People find anything to moan about. I for one am glad to see people leave if it takes so little for them to stay.

The chest dropped exotics, precursors are exotics, some people just got lucky. Plus, as others have said. Prices have dropped substantially, so it works for all anyway!

Been like this for me for some time too.

Thought it was brilliant also.

To be honest, I have found all of them to be amazingly refreshing. Anet have done a great job with Fractuals.

Agreed. Spread out players more. It’s just laggy with invisible mobs.

Disapointed.

I second this. I cannot purchase Gems from the store either.

People seem to expect ArenaNet to email everyone asking for a preferred time.
Not to mention, if they did do that .. the times would be the same. As, as they have said countless times, this is the higher peak hours for players. (I.E when the MOST players are online). So people stating ‘the masses’ will miss out. Er, no.

The west coast isn’t the only place in the world.
I feel sorry for Anet. Trying to improve the game, and just get moaned at….

As far as I can tell, the event will start at 8pm GMT/ 12pm PST. This starter event will be one time, but the first act will continue for next 24 hours, until the next act starts.

Though, not to worry, as the map/dungeon/pvp map etc will all remain after the event has finished.

Everyone can join in the event. Anyone who is not level 80, will be scaled up. The event starts in LA and will then continue to Sea of Sorrows on act 2 (Saturday).

Everything you need to know is in that link.

Seriously …..
