a lot of angry veterans have already left. Some are still around.
How do you define a lot. I’ve been playing since BWE1 of the core game, 3 years ago, and I don’t know even one “angry veteran” who’s left because of this. Not one. And I know a lot of people.
Your “lot of angry veterans” is very subjective methinks. I also watch map chat and while I do see a few complaints about the f2p thing, not one that decided they were leaving.
I been playing guild wars since way back guild wars 1 days. Early start and everything. I use the word “a lot” because I don’t want to sit there and count how many there really is in my head. My definition of “a lot” is any number that is more than 10+. I see that as “a lot.”
I also did not say anything about f2p. I think f2p is a good thing for this game. Bring in new players and such. Most of my friends left due to HoT. They are long gone already when HoT was “hot topic”…still is, I am sure. I don’t think anyone of my guild wars friend that is gone already know anything about this f2p thing. I don’t think they care anymore.
a lot of angry veterans have already left. Some are still around. I know I am not buying HoT. I can wait 4 or 5 years if I have to until the price is $10. Or when they announce the next xpac and HoT is free. I just get it for free, but who knows.
as far as I know, I am only into this game due to PvE and I will not pay $60 for 4 maps. I don’t care about skins. I have never care what my toons look like. I do not own a guild (I use one for extra storage). I don’t care much about legendary (takes months to make one). All these new specializations don’t change the characters too much. They just get new skills (at lest that’s how I see it). That raid seem cool, but it is not even 1 finish raid. Just half of one…
so, bottom line for me is $10 for HoT. If HoT is anything like guild war 1 add ons. I be more than happy to pay $60. Even EoTN was $40…was it $40? Too lazy to check source…lol

I always see that all item/product valuable is base on the buyer themselves, not the one that is selling it.
If one person thinks he/she is happy with HoT and willing to buy it now. It is fine by me.
However, HoT to me right now is not set at a fair price. If my friends or family ask me for my 2 cents, I will tell them to not buy it now and wait until we get more information.
I know there is a lot going on in HoT, but so far all I am interested in is the new pve maps.
I do not wvw or pvp much. I own no guild, so guild hall is pointless to me. I have no interest in the new class. I am interested in some of these sub-class or whatever they are call.
guild wars 2 story isn’t that great or even good. <—- I will wait on the review on this.
There is hardly any lore in the game for me to get into the game.
So far, to me. Will I pay $50 for 2 or 3 new maps and some of these sub class and a story that might be good or not? NO!
You’d have to play GW1 to understand the lore. I do highly suggest playing that between now and when you decide the expansion is worth buying.
I do. I own all guild war 1 games and I love them. The combat is different from guild wars 2.
Whatever happen to class quest? I know they move away from quest, but I want to learn more about my class. As of now, I cannot really connect with any of my characters in guild wars 2. I only play these class because they play different, that is all. There is nothing else special about them. The world doesn’t see them as anyone special as well.
I do not like any of these living world characters. Mostly due to how they are introduce to the world. Is like, they just pop up and take over and do that whole comic book super hero thing and try to save the world. And somehow, like comic book super hero, they are super bad-kitten and can take down dragon lords big-boss-minions all by themselves. I do not know, I really cannot get into guild wars 2. However, the game is fun to play…lol.
Guild wars 2 is like one of these super bad movies that is just fun to watch and make fun of (story wise). Combat is super fun, just wish the AI is better. There is no another game like it. I will play it until some guild wars 2 clone pops up, hopefully with better story and characters.

I am just wondering if I will get my gold back from the grandmaster trait that I bought? I don’t remember if that was cover or not…I didn’t see…
I just don’t understand why some of these characters are there? I understand why our character is there. We are the commander (are we the commander?…lol, somewhat forgot, I know our character is the lead).
Why are they following us around? They keep on call us “BOSS”. I feel like we are playing house with little kid and I am somehow the boss that gets to order them around.
I mean, don’t we not have real train soldiers to command around than a team of random people that just somehow there and follow us around? Somehow they are way more well train than anyone in these packs or soldiers around the world and can take on big boss with us.
I do not dislike them, just write them better if anet really want to build upon them. Whatever happen to Delaqua and Meade being detectives?
I have made some “will teach”, “new comers welcome” and so on for dungeon path. Somehow, it takes forever or sometime I don’t even get a full team to join.
However, the second I put up “fast run”, “80s only” and so on. My group fills out so fast and there is always one or two of them are new and have no idea what they are doing…
Next thing you know, as soon as you/someone else enters a group it will be mandatory to yell: “Hey all. Screenshot Taken” to let them know if kicked you’ll send it to Support asking a non-existent PUG Hammer to rend and smash from on high…
How high are the chances that A.Net actually bans them though?
None percent. Nill, nada, zero. Good day sir, WvW improvements are important.
That makes my day actually even worse, because getting kicked from a dungeon group right at the end ruined some evenings for me.
It’s not even agaisnt the rules for them to do this so, why would they get banned?
I got kick from Arah dungeon 8 out of 10 play. Everytime when we kill Lupi I have to hold my breath and wonder if I am going to get kick. There is just way too much Arah path sellers and somehow it is ok for them to do this.
I mean, they should not get banned, but something really need to be done here. I stop playing Arah path all together now.
I have never gotten kick in any another dungeon. It is really hard to get Arah collection done:(
having 589% MF don’t really matter, at lest, to me. Is like playing lotto. The person that buys 500 tickets vs the person that only buy 1 tickets. The odds are pretty much the same due to RNG.
It is just video game life. If you really want all that shiny, just jump around maps like most people do. These that jump around maps with low magic find and have more chance at VW vs these that stay in one map with super high magic find. That to me, in turn, is the same.
People that jump around map end up with more loots, in true.
yeah, I was going crazy over it. I even try to watch it as I play and see what made it do so. Every time I take my eye of it, it lose a charge. I was going a little mad trying to figure it out. So it is down-leveling that cause this.
I am having so much fun with mentra as well. It just kind of made me not want to play a mentra build anymore. Maybe I go for something else. I am just so bored with another builds.
I wonder if this down-leveling cause another class’s traits problems as well. They really need to fix this. Not a huge problem, but it is still a problem.
I was just trying out some new builds. I have never play mantra and wanna try it out.
I don’t know if this is how it works. I took Harmonious Mantra (it gives me an extra mantra output).
It works fine when I am in battle. I see the 3. When I am running around the world and having my mantra charge, somehow, that 3 just turn into a 2. I did not use any charge. I was just running around. So, that extra charge given by Harmonious Mantra have a timer on it?
I totally agree with the OP.
What we get now:
- 1 new pvp mode
- 1 new class
- 1 new zone
- 0 new race
- 1 new wvw map
- 1 new game mode (GvG)
- obtainable non rng precursors (basically a fix for something that is broken)
- possibly new legendaries
- specialization trees (in most games these come through free DLC too or are already in the game at launch)What a normal expansion gives:
- 2 or more new classes
- a complete continent of new zones
- 1 or more new races
- 5+ new dungeons
- several new pvp/rvr maps
- several new game modes
- several raids
- a huge amount of new skins accessible through game
- a huge amount of new skillsConclusion:
To me, this so-called expansion seems a tidbit small for being called an expansion. For one a lot of the content that is being offered through it was promised at launch or in the months after launch to be added with normal (free) patches: guild halls, precursor hunt, GvG mode. The remainder is nearly negligible.I know a lot of people are delighted with this announcement, but in truth those people just see content that should have been in the game a long time ago and for free. By now (my speculation is) the players have been spooned with irritating and bad patches so long, they crave for real content, and even a meagre release like this one will trigger their desire.
TLDR: Rip-off seems the better word over expansion.
I agree with you and op as well. It feels more like a feature pack. Maybe they are not making money in China and realize that they can charge good money for their feature….
Also, a lot of player have been screaming for expansion. This is also a way to shut them up as well by calling this a expansion.
In true, I am very happy that they are doing expansion. It is just almost all of these things listed are things they promise to give us in their FREE living story. I haven’t seen much new idea that wasn’t promise to be in their FREE living story. Now they are making us pay for it…
If their expansion isn’t great. I am sure a lot of people will complain up a storm since we are paying with our hard earn money once again.
You dont get it, money is no problem here. Anet don’t want to create expansion, they focus on cheap developing: minimum content, maximum profit. If you dont like it you should quit, new players is all anet cares right now coz new players dont have big demands :P
You don’t get it. The “it” in this case referring to my original post. The funds would be used to “persuade” ArenaNet to work on the much wanted content. I hate that comment that just because I don’t like something I should quit. The very fact that I am wanting to improve the company that has created the game I love so much shows that I would never quit. The very idea is absurd and shows that you did not put much thought into what you said. ArenaNet cares for new players because they don’t have a monthly subscription, therefore most of their income comes from the initial purchase.
are you kidding me, you are going to give money to a company to “persuade” them into making the kind of content that you want….hahaha.
That is something big company around the world does to governments. They give governments money to “persuade” them of this or that.
If Anet is taking “donation” money from player to be “persuaded” into making anytype of content. Well, what is the word…Corruption!
If you got so much money to give. Why not give them to organization that will feed world’s hungry kids, or save some land for animals or green energy or something.
If you really want to put it into entertainment. There is a lot of kickstarter games that needs your money. If you really want to give to Anet. There is the gem store.
I been trying to get them since yesterday. I did the whole map of Frostgorge Sound yesterday and today. I find ZERO!!!!!
I hate this RNG. I am so tire of this game at this point. When a game makes you tire and angry. It means it is time for me to move on.
I shall be back in a year or two when they get these things sorted out. So tire of RNG
I have played an average of 2-3 hours a day for the last 2 months and earned about 150 gold. That is 20 months of playing for the cheapest version of a precursor (Kraitkin).
What the hell are you doing that only nets you 150g ? You should run dungeons. And fine a really good bunch of people to run them.
Because I do that every night on the week-ends for 4 hours and in two weeks I get that amount.
some people don’t have four hours every night to play.
I have about an hour or so of free time during weekdays and only one day that is free during weekends.
I try to get my AC run every night (at lest a path or 2) during weekdays and that gets me 1.5 to 3 g per day. If I do my math right, that means I will forever be chasing that carrot on a stick due to the crazy price in TP rise.
In true, back when guild wars 2 first come out. I was able farm and save up money. I was able to make one Legendary and have brought two more per for about 20g and 60g. These two are still in the bank. I just don’t have the money and mat to make them:(.
If they did something like the black moa chick (in guild wars one). That means, one day I might be able to get that carrot on a stick (it did take me 2 years to get that black moa chick)
I will join you if you are still looking. I have all toons at 80:). I do play pvp often and knows all my toons well
is it too late for me to join in on the fun? I want to join:)
I have all toons to 80 and a set of all gears:)
The reward for output is bad for lower tier servers. People won’t be too mad if they all can get at lest one Mistforged Hero’s Weapons (even the bottom server).
Gold will give everyone on that server 500 Ticket (which is good), but meta-achievement sure also give each person who complete it another 100 Ticket. That way the winning server can get Two Mistforged Hero’s Weapons.
Those at the bottom can get at lest one Mistforged Hero’s Weapons if they complete their meta. If not, than one sure get tickets base on how much percentages of the meta-achievement that they have done.
That way, people at Gold server will be happy that hey get Two Mistforge weapon and those people at lower server that work hard will get at lest one.
People than will not be switching server and leaving the low server, well, even lower in number.
YES!!! It is getting boring. I got all class to level 80. Only two class with map completion. I am only able to buy one legendary, yes, buy. RNG don’t like me with Precursor drop.
I am not a fan of WvW (not much reward). I do pvp sometimes, but always felt it is very unbalance and broken.
LS is too short and I cannot play it on my own time.
where is the story? it has been two years now and all we got is the personal story (not fun after the first time around) and the LS that is no longer do-able unless you play by anet time in the past.
I find myself playing gw1 more and more. I hunt skills, get new heros, play normal and hard mode story, do master quest, get more tokens for those HoM weapons and so on. <—- why isn’t all/most of that in GW2?
I felt so happy and rewarded when I get my black moa chick!!! YAY! ahaha
I was only able to do 3 rounds before it was empty. Good thing, I got all the boss achievements done. I hope more people will do them on weekend before it is a ghost-town. I still have a few more 1pt achievements need to be done…lol
(edited by Gilgamesh.1025)
me too, I have about 100+ of them. Why did they change it?
omg, I hate this crafting thing. I just figure this out…it is at my list and that is why it won’t pop up…I don’t know if it is me or is this game…lol
the problem is I cannot even make another +3 agony infusion. My ten +1 stack of agony infusion won’t even pop up at the crafting station. Only the +3 is there. How you make another +3? I try dragging the +1 in there, but it won’t let me either:(
I made a +3 agony infusion and I have ten more +1 agony infusion. I want to make +4 but somehow my +1 agony infusion never show up on the crafting station. Only the +3 shows up.
How do I make it to +4, than +5 and so on. Am I missing something here?
I try to drag my ten +1 agony infusion to the crafting slot, but it won’t let me as well….I try searching for answer, but find than so here I am.
Help will be great.
Thank you.
There are so many great feedback and ideas here. Great job to everyone:).
I will put in my two cents as well than. Not sure if someone already type this…just so much to read…haha.
Here goes:
I love the DE system, however, having them happening again and again in matters of minutes made them all so pointless and useless. They don’t happen enough to farm nor are they different enough or fun to do and reward is not great.
I mean, do have some DE that just happen on its own or due to event within the world. But have them do so once a day or two times a day with greater reward behind them so people will do them.
Also I believe it will be great if some DE only happen by what story path that our character has chosen (as a way to activate some DE). Different players can activate certain DE chain base on their personal story path that they have pick. That way it gives the player some control and effect within the world. Who knows, it might even have people be more social and try to group up with certain players to play certain DE.
Have it so that some DE only happen at night or day. Some only happen base on the number of players on the map. There are just so many interactive ways to play around with DE system rather it just happen out of the blue or by a time-base and “ok, whatever, it will happen again in 5 minute.”
I think that way player can feel more interactive with the world they are in.
I don’t really want to, but in the end I have to due to the fact that my server is dying in both pve and wvw. So I put in $50 dollars more to get a server transfer. Got an extra character slot. a few bank slots.
I don’t mind the character transfer cost or buying extra character slot, but a bank slot…hate it. I mean, they can up the number in the crafting storage, they can offer skin library, they can give us a reason to keep all those ascended rings. Let them trade 5 or 10 in to get one that I want. I don’t mind. I have so many rings and i cannot even sell them…why!?
I been getting them for the fast few days now. last week or two weeks ago I was still able to get 8 per harvesting from my home instances. Now I am only getting 3…is this just me or has it been nerf?
I still get 8 candy corn from my home instances. why did they nerf quartz crystal? It already have a time gate on it:(
It will be a year from now before I can even get my Celestial armors and weapons
Yes, I frequently get 8 crystals at a time. I believe that last occurred for me sometime over the last 3-4 days.
I also have mined a charged crystal on multiple occasions.
Both, I believe are the result of MF and luck. Or maybe just luck. Or maybe because I’m on a very active WvW server.
Hang in there, your luck may come back around.
I have 75 MF so far. I thought the update a week ago changed it. I do remember I normally get 8 from them. I guess it is all base on luck. I did get a charge one along with 8 before.
I guess the normal is 5. I am trying to save some money on buying the recipe for the armor and weapons. They cost as much as 20+ g for one recipe….so much:(

I was in Kaineng. I hardly see anyone pve or even doing wvw. Kind of sad that wvw is always open. I use it to freely travel to Lion’s Arch. Even in Lion’s Arch there isn’t that many people running around.
That is when I decided to change server. I buy some gem and transfer to Blackgate. There is so many people in Lion’s Arch. There is always player in PvE (I see them running around a lot mostly in the low level human area…somekind of boss train all day long). Each map have people in it, however, still not what it was during the early few months of the game’s release, but that is to be excepted.
The sad thing is getting into WvW is always 6+ hours long in waiting:(. That is the downside of the high end server. If you want to PvE, just guest to tier 1 server. If you want to WvW, you lose either way (it is an either desert world in the mist or wait forever and never get in to the mist).
thank you guys for all the great feedback:). I will switch out cpc for Epidemic. I have seen Epidemic use in youtube. It looks very cool. it also spread another people’s cond. as well.
I try to get more condition damage, but in order to do so, I will lose out on crit. It is kind of hard to pick which I want more…lol. I will have to make do with buffs.
Sulli, I like your build as well. I will play around with more of those status and see what I can get out of.
I am just not a Staff fan. It is low in damage and hard to target (for me it is…not a mark person. I have try it in pvp, it works out great).
I will play around with a few builds in pvp and see who it work out. Thank you guys:). Anymore feedback, keep them coming.
I just got my necromancer to level 80 so I am playing around with build. I want to do a condition and crit build.
Here is what I have so far.
I enjoy setting up bleed than switch to my ax to dish in as much damage as I can before switching back to add on to bleed:)
Please let me know what you things think. I did try to do some search, but haven’t find much of this kind of build. I am sure there is a number of them out there now. Feedback will be greatly welcome as I am still new to the class.
thank you!

At first I thought, living world, yay, free content. As time goes, that is more of a…Never Again!
It wont be a problem if it is permanent and I can do it when I have some free time. I normally take breaks from games and I just hate it when I return, I have miss out so many content and only to learn that I cannot ever play those again.
I cannot even get my friends in the game. They were happy to heard that GW2 is popping out content every two weeks. They want to wait until there is more content before they buy the game. When they find out those content is not really content to stay. They have move on to another games already. Same here, I will be moving on soon as well. Just don’t have the time.
Living world is stupid. Reason why I play a fantasy game is to get away from my crazy-non-waiting-living-world. Not to jump into another one!
This is a game, not a JOB!
thank you guys for all the help. I will read up on the given forum as well.
My Mesmer is at level 74 so far. Will hit level 80 tonight or tomorrow and I will start getting it ready. I will use Illusionary Invigoration.
Thank you!
Illusionary Invigoration say one gets another bounce, isn’t that only useful for staff? I am not sure so I didn’t pick that one.
I didn’t pick Compounding Power is because I am going to shatter them as soon as they appear. I just figure Dazzling Glamours might be more useful for people in wvw…to tell the true, I am really not sure which one to go for at that place.
I am not sure if I sure use Geomancy (to make use of my condition damage) or Hydromancy.
thank you
I am still very new to Mesmer and I like how it is play so far. However, when it comes to building a Mesmer I am somewhat lost. Unlike others, Mesmer have way too much different build to go for.
I am more of a shatter player and been reading and watching video and how to make a good dmg and stay alive long enough to run away if I have to.
here is what I come up with so far.
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgAQNAR8alwzKq3UTqGa9ICqHan19dkU0apWJF82FC-jkyAYLBZCEMRIQZvioxW1QLcERj6aMNMRUt9OR28hVDA-w
greatly thank for any help.
the money they make in the gem store is going to NCsoft to make wild star <—-I think that is the name or the next aion.
no point in giving them money and those gears are ugly for a charr
She needed to slow them down. To delay and distract them, so you would have time to escape. That means, she had to stand her ground, and give them a target. A moving target, maybe, but even she has her limits.
Meanwhile good old trahaern who we know is capable of summing what, 4 uber flesh golems at a time which would have easily been capable of holding off the zombies long enough for everyone to escape sat there doing nothing.
I’m convinced he let your mentor die on purpose for the sole purpose of having more glory to himself once he finished taking over your personal story.
Trahaern is by far the most hated NPC in guild war history…for me that is. I would of enjoy the story far more and like it a lot more without him in it. And he had the audacity to say “walk with me…” (stop ording my toon around…lol) at the end after having to walk up there to get him for the party…
I farm fotm for god/loot. I normally come out with lots of bags and some rare, but as of late I barely get any rare. I never keep track, but I do notice I am not making what I am use to in fotm.
I normally report bot when I see them, but now I choose not to and hope it will drive some of those price in the market down…lol.
no, 80 is good. don’t wanna grind for more level or higher gears
+1 to this. I want my cleric ascend gears as well!!!!
I have been kick as well by a party. They were looking for one more to do 24. Since with the new update, I can do it even my fotm is 22. So I join and told the party that I only have 5 ar. If that is ok. They all say fine. I die only two time during the run to the end boss. We kill all mob as well and then they kick me. I was a little angry at the fact, but I got some good loot.
Now, I kind of am scary in joining random groups. I think I sure always play with guildmate or people that I know.
they sure just have laurel a drop item from champion or veteran mobs. Also, give it a chance to get one from jump puzzle. WvW people sure be able to get them from killing zerg as well.
That will be nice:)
