Guild Wars 2

I want to start off by saying that there are many things right with this game, but also many things wrong with it.

Open World Play:

As it stands there is NO incentive to go out into the open world outside of getting the world clear title. The rewards for playing in the field pale in comparison to those of dungeons. Especially Fractals where rares seem to rain from the sky. Dynamic events such as the Claw of Jormag and The Shattered are not even worth doing. People simply don’t bother because the time it takes to complete the event to receive a small chance at a rare in a box that is generally filled with blues is not worth while.

Incentive for open world exploration needs to be given. Rewards for completing epic events like the Claw of Jormag need to receive a more epic reward. Especially considering that it often takes longer than some dungeons to fell these foes. You have created such a vivid and beautiful world that remains barren. Get us back out there!

Dungeons:

I am unsure if you realize that there is a large number of people simply spamming Cathedral of Flame day in and day out to receive the dungeon reward. The way you have set up dungeons encourages players to find exploits and skip anything and everything they can to just get to the boss for the clear reward.

That being said you must increase the incentive to farm the monsters/mini bosses within dungeons. Also when I first saw the “Explorable” dungeon option my hopes were that it was going to be truly explorable. Instead, like most games, we continue to be funneled through an instance to get the cookie at the end. Dungeons should be filled with treasure and peril. They should take patience and team work. Make people not want to skip the content you have worked so hard to put in the game.

PvP:

As I am sure you have heard there needs to be a way to PvP with friends outside of structured tournament play. There also need to be more PvP options than the capture-the-point system currently implemented. A random arena would be a welcome addition. And simply a handful of different PvP styles and a menu to select which type would be a vast improvement.

WvW

Revive orbs need not be allowed in WvW. People are dying behind enemy gates on purpose to use a revive orb. Generally this is a Mesmer who proceeds to Portal a massive army inside of a base. Portal needs to be constrained to a party or limited to the number of players that can utilize it. Seeing over one hundred people take a portal is ridiculous and I am unsure that this was your intended use for it.

Dragon’s Tooth seems to work with other combo fields other than fire. My brother used it inside of a light field and it created area retaliation. I hope the issue of Dragon’s Tooth not working properly is adressed in an upcoming patch. Too few skills posess combo finishers as it stands. To take them away from existing skills would make the game that much less interesting. I really feel there should be more combo finishers across the board for all classes. Certain weapon combinations on certain classes have absolutely no combo finishers and that makes for some boring gameplay.

Just logged in after the update on Devona’s Rest. My Character is unable to load into the Black Citadel. I tried logging into another character in Plains of Ashford and was able to without an issue. Please fix this! it is very frustrating. Is the zone bugged? I used an Asura teleporter if that matters.

I am unable to represent any guild on my guilds list on one of my characters named Crookshankz on the server Devona’s Rest. I am able to represent on all of my other characters. I have no idea what is different other than the fact that it is level 80. The main guild I am concerned with is Player Versus Everything (PVE). It is just my brother and I but I would like to be able to accrue influence for us. I hope this issue gets resolved swiftly.

Thank you
