Guild Wars 2

The Kraken.2347:

Also keep in mind, if you think the price is high, your not paying a monthly subscription. It cost money to keep this game running, if you want to keep playing it, dont complain about the price, or just go play wow.

Of course you can keep playing without question, dignity and respect as a slave.

JohnnyS.1460:

Finally some official word from the devs…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZspKoupWAY

I can’t stop laughing. I gonna pay for this instead of the expansion pack lol.

Mutual respect is the important thing between people, between companies and customers.

Anet doesn’t show respect to existing players, then I won’t take out credit card.

Otis McGinty.1926:

What if Anet put it this way.
HoT expansion only $45
HoT expansion (core included) $50
Players would still be complaining.
Personally I have been playing since release of gw2 and have bought slots. I myself already have a couple slots open across 2 different accts (together 16 toons & 4 empty).
IMO…I appreciate the hard work that the developers, programmers and artists have put into this game for my entertainment and have no problem in paying for it.
If you want the slot, spend the extra 10bucks!
If your gonna quit….do us all a favor and quit. Over the past couple days I have to listen to players “Cry me a river” about being ripped off by Anet while crafting in LA.
Bunch a freaking babies that need there wooby.

All I see is you’re crying like a baby.

Let’s see 2 cases below:
CASE 1:
I go to burger shop to buy a burger.
The price of a burger at 15:00-19:00 is $20.
I still want French Fries and coke ($20) which are only available after 19:00.
At 19:01, waitress says we’re offering big discount now, buying French fries and coke get free burger!

CASE 2:
The price of a burger at 15:00-19:00 is still $20.
French Fries and coke ($20) only available after 19:00.
At 19:01, the waitress says: we’re offering discount now, burger costs $10 only. So if you want a burger, French fries and coke, the total price is $30. (No more burger, thanks!)
Anyway, Thanks for waiting for French fries and coke, we’ll offer discount and coupon to customers who bought burger before 19:00.

Which case you think is more reasonable?

shadyrussian.7986:

And this is when I stop playing guild wars 2. Im so sick of companies taking advantage of the individuals that make their company possible in the first place. We buy the game and support the developers by giving them our hard earned money just to only be taken advantage of later on what a joke. I hope they lose at least half the community by doing this.

Totally agree with you.

Why customers who supporting the game since launch date don’t get any offer/discount/gift (I thought we can get something special in expansion but i’m wrong)? But we have to “subsidy” latecomers core game cost.

You get some new comers but lose old one. What is the logic of this bad marketing decision?

Echosys.2406:

I was actually tempted to see that somebody finally trying to go in a logical way. But then, you just destroyed it.
“BOB is everylasting, does not break or gets old”
Basically you found something that can easily solve your challange… and then.. well.. excluded.

But then again, heres my answer:
We can’t deny our affections, and interests… nor devalue our or their desires or sense of value. The 2 person who entered that shop, and buyed BoB + expansion is too persons wo deserves ther own choice. But as you stated, they buyed BoB + expansion.

Person 1 already has BoB he\she familiar with it. But he buyed BoB + expansion prolly because the exp. Person 1 already know and have the values of BoB. and now even the exp.

Person 2 buyes BoB + expansion because he\she values it, or heard, read, seend something in BoB + expansion. Basically buys it, because he \she interested in it.

Conclusion:

They both buyed BoB + expansion and not to mention that Person 1 recieves only expansion cuz he\she already have it. In the other hand person 2 recieves BoB + expansion.

It seems Person 1 recieves less than person 2 is that right? No
We already knew that they buyed it, even person 1 who only recieves and needs only expansion. Whats that mean? simple. person 1 leaves with an even value of his money. he\she not even brothered by BoB cuz he\she already have it. He\she solely needed expansion, therefore he buyed it. his\her values were different, but not in money, its in the type of interest he\she had.

They leaved the shop with the same product, arrived at home, and used it different.

It’s even doesn’t matter if you have or do not have BoB.. cuz you stated both of them buyed it, left with it….its just the way they consumes.

“How do you think person 1 feels now ?”
Obviously happy with his\her product, don’t let me state it again why.

“Justify how person 1 gets same value for money as person 2”
I’ts matter of interest, and the way of consume.

Also in note:
You asked it how person 1 feels… and whit this you also stated that he\she is a person. thats basicaly means her values can’t be compared… even if we compare it… does that mean, they even? can’t be compared, theres no bigger, or smaller.

In your case, both customers place high value on BoB + expansion. But in reality, why people feel unhappy on forum? Because they think they’ve been cheated : person 2 (new comer) get discount ( free BoB), but person 1 (old customer, spend more (Bob + BoB + expansion) get no discount/offer.

That’s the reality. Happiness affects the value.

Let’s put person 1 back to 2 years ago when BoB was newly released. He/she entered the shop and picked up BoB which stated that the expansion pack will be released 2 years later, in which includes BoB + expansion. What did he/she think? Would he/she still paid for it at that moment? It is a total different story.

It seems right for me to afk 5 months ago and quit now.

It must be stealth. Finally each class everybody can stealth.

I think Warrior’s pvp weakness is F1 skills mostly predictable. So they can be interrupted, evaded, blocked, hided by obstacle and even missed easily.

How many times you can stop other classes to cast their F1 skills in a match?

I’m not sure whether ele can take warrior’s place. The number of ele may be more than warrior, but I’ve just seen thieves and rangers are much more. So this is not the problem of who can do better, but WHO CAN BE ABLE TO HIT HARDER, TO RUSH RIVALS instead.

I have tried the rifle signet pvp build as below:

5 signets: Healing, Dolyak, Fury, Stamina and Rage
Six points in Arm: I, IV, XI
Rune: Eagle (original choice is Orge)
Sigils: Accuracy and Force

Using this build , you can get over 80% critical chance and 750 ferocity. It can easily obtain more than 100 score each match in average.

There is no problem to fire back under suppressing fire of thieves or rangers while many of them seeing u as score ATM.

Guyver.1426:

Keenan Sieg.1493:

Hey Guyver, what are your current graphics settings?

Majority graphics settings are at low level which attached photo shows.

Thank you for your concern.

16 days passed by, login after one week afk, but the problem still not be fixed yet.

Are you waiting for me to quit?

I think this problem is due to heavy graphics load, no relationship to how long you play. It may happen within 3 mins in wvw, etom or dynamic events.

Therefore the only thing I’ve been doing after Yosemite upgrade is map exploration by new characters, gathering and crafting , although spvp is still playable, but it isn’t MCOT.

Keenan Sieg.1493:

Hey Guyver, what are your current graphics settings?

Majority graphics settings are at low level which attached photo shows.

Thank you for your concern.

After updated to Yosemite, broken graphic display occurs very often in EOTM and pve environment.

It makes the game nearly unplayable.

dancingmonkey.4902:

Tab or point and click targeting. The same as every MMO. As well there is a reason for mobs in WvW. You really shouldn’t makes claims about aspects, when you do not have an understanding of their purpose and existance.

The same way but bad performance.

dancingmonkey.4902:

Tough luck, sorry you don’t like it. They serve a purpose for the rest of us. It is unlikely they will. The problem here is you seem to think your way is the only way, and expect them to build the game around you and hose the rest of us. That is unreasonable, and unfair.

All players want to play what they want. It doesn’t mean they are unfair or unreasonable.

dancingmonkey.4902:

If your talking to NPCs while trying to loot, then your screwing up. Yet your here blaming the system because you chose not to have the F key as an AoE button. It is si disheartening to see players make bad choices as you appear to have, then come here and blame the devs or the game.

I always loot by AoE and I have made a hotkey for loot. I said my suggestion not to blame. I think you are the person don’t understand.

dancingmonkey.4902:

Can I have some of what your having? I can think of 4 bugs that blizzard hasn’t been able to fix since release. That is 10 years. If you are claiming this isn’t the case, you are speaking on maters you are fully unacknowledged about, or being dishonest. They had an off site panel on this ad blizzcon for pete sake.

I said “rare” not “no”. Can you see the difference?

Volrath.1473:

Wow is old and boring nowaday i wouldnt come back to it unless they totaly overhauled their combat system and we know that wont happen

WOW combat system is better than GW2.

Target system of GW2’s is ridiculous. [Next Target] and some movement skills are disturbed by walls, bridges or doors, rather than to hit enemies. It is difficult to point one target when allies and enemies standing close together. And there is no necessary to place so many animals and mobs in wvw.

It may be fun for third party NPC to intercept fight, but I don’t want some mobs hanging around there to screw me up. Wvw battle land looks like a national park. It is exactly one of the problem of wvw. WOW’s battle ground Alterac Valley has better design.

In pve, I suggest NPC dialogue box keep close during event. It is very annoying to press interact to loot but call the dialogue box out instead.

I’m curious why some bugs in GW2 still not fixed, for examples, trapped between wall while repairing, try picking up/ interacting same item by 2 guys makes one can’t use weapon skill, and skill bugs. It is rare for a Blizzard game to tolerate a bug more than 3 months.

Investment in condi is the only way to go. Condi now is extremely imbalance, in terms of low investment but high reward. No matter the gear is TVC, THC or PTC, all your concern is to stack up the condi damage.

Compared with power build, you’ll find that condi build can kill more (also loot more).

Totally agree with OP. Engis can take away 50% life in a second easily at first sight.

Players who counter this kind of engis are put in an unfair situation.

-50% movement speed, or

movement will cancel while channeling.

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

What they need to do, is to make toughness scale better against DPS, especially at higher levels in PVE. Monsters in PVE do not respect the rules, and deal damage that almost negates the point of having toughness and armor to begin with. That is why so many don’t bother with toughness.

Another reason is that aggro design is messed up. Monsters specifically go after the player with the highest toughness, and not the player dealing the most damage. This directly negates the point of having high toughness to begin with. You bring toughness to reduce damage, not increase damage. The aggro system in GW2 makes no sense.

I’m agree with you to bring back toughness into pve environment, for diversity of trait, gears and tactics.

IchigoHatake.5098:

NOOOOOOOOOO, do you even realize how this will ruin the game even more? Let me explain, if I’m using a condi build, I tend to have lots of toughness with stats like dire, celestial, rabid etc. If it reduces condi dmg, then everyone would just build condi because you can tank everything and do dmg. Games would be boring as kitten cause no one ever dies. Right now celestial users (meta) already take forever to kill, no more buffs pls.

As the stat of toughness have to redo, the stat of gears have to change too. All gears should be high damage but low toughness and vice versa.

Now, the whole forum is crying every class is OP because different kind of damages are too over. It can’t be solved by skill balance without end. Only introducing new toughness stat can solve the problem.

Please redo the stat of toughness and separate from armour.

Increasing toughness cause more damage absorption, including condition damages.

Odesseus.1472:

I am having troubles during WvW as well. The client will crash with one of these two errors:

- lockedRect.pBits
- dstBits

I also got these problems. I want to know how to solve them.

If a ranger is killed by warrior’s LB, he/she must be a bad ranger.

If a warrior only attacks by LB without switching to melee weapon, he/she must be a bad warrior.

Yifang.8260:

Worst case is your machine’s failing as my laptop did, does this happen with other games or graphic intensive activities like HD videos?

Unfortunately, performance of mac is very stable except for this game. I never encounter this problem in other games or HD videos.

Guyver.1426:

One more thing is that the mosaic crashes seems not happen again. It was very annoying when the screen becomes mosaic, game would crash soon.

From the horrid nightmare of my previous laptop the sony vaio, that was the last machine I used mainly before joining the right side of computing that is Apple… Those messy colours are super bad, wasn’t too long after I was getting them in a game that my vaio kept crashing and not be able to work outside safe mode for long, later it won’t get past startup anymore…. Sometimes, if the client or my mac feels I’ve played too much, particularly wvw my map will have messed up colours… The map itself is very poorly made, the zooming is wasteful on the processing and has caused me many crashes last year.
[/quote]

This colours-crash problem can happen on my mac any time, not related to how long I’ve been playing. It can happen in wvw or events within 5 mins after login. I even don’t know what cause this display failure. I’m not sure whether it is related to opening inventory since I used to salvage items during fighting or events.

The initial shots damage should be toned down too.

Nageth.5648:

Ah yeah, that is the only graphics settings that results in no crashes in WvW. No matter your hardware if you crank it up even a little bit you’ll get WvW crashes. Glad things have improved for you, though.

After auto detected, the graphic setting gets some improvement: environment, texture and shaders are upgraded to medium. Hope I won’t get crash today.

One more thing is that the mosaic crashes seems not happen again. It was very annoying when the screen becomes mosaic, game would crash soon.

Nageth.5648:

What are your graphics settings at?

Except character model limit and quality, all are at low level.

it’s weird since the game’s released date

After melandru event, the game crashed.

Mac OS X 10.9.4
3.1 GHz Intel i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Nageth.5648:

A restart really isn’t necessary, it looks like there are three Guild Wars 2 processes that start up when you launch the game. When you get a crash, one of them never seems to end with the rest of the processes. This means you have to manually go in and quit that last process using activity monitor every time. Are you doing this and still experiencing the problem of not being able to start the game again?

Negative, only one gw2 opened. And I remember that I could open two gw2 with different characters at the same time in the past.

After update and crash within 30 min in EOTM, the game can’t be opened again. It never happen before. Restart? not yet, cause I have no mood now when I realise it crashes several times everyday.

This class becomes mobile ATM in wvw

Everybody loves him now. Thank you Anet!

Why not call him “Santa Claus”? Santa ????Claus is coming ????to wvw

Excuse me! I’m not aware of Christmas coming so early.

I foresee some people will cry again on their baby seats after the changes.

Natar.3671:

Burned.9520:

nice vid man , what’s your build though ? unless i missed that in the vid.

Its 0/4/6/0/4. Armor is for you to guess. In the video I was using melandru runes but currently I am trying out hoelbrak as well. Can’t decide which I like better :/

Good job!

I guest they’re PPT armor and PPF trinkets.

I think it is not the problem of designs of warrior or guardian.

For example, once you chose to be a defender in football team, u are not expected to be top scorer as shooters.

It’s teamwork. Guardian used to be nameless hero.

How about a shout elite: reveal stealth target 20s, all stats and swiftness increase 10% within this period.

This game is all about journey. Why need a house?

I’m tired of unlimited crashes in this game. Today, I see a online super hero game mac open beta released. I would give it a try.

Goodbye folks.

Carpboy.7145:

Warrior is fine now.

Allaraina.8614:

/praying for the day anet makes pres craftable/obtainable via some sort of epic quest

Except craftable pre requirements will probably look something like this:
x250 charged lodestones (2.5g each)
x250 other t6 mat (50s-1g each)
x250 snots of angels (priceless)
x1 thing you obtain not via tp orders

I’m just really hoping this isn’t the case and that they fix other loot in the game as well.

If precursor is craft able, I think large amount of ingredients are not from 80 lvl map in order to encourage players to visit different maps. But it is possible some ingredients may be limited collectible, for example silver doubloon. So I think players who want to craft precursor will cry since some ingredients still manipulated by billionaires.

I suggest jeweling 500 improve 2% stats of each trinket.

One more today.

I’m writing here to count how many time I missed the karka chest and how much u Anet owe me the loot.

Missed the Karka chest again a min ago. Nothing I can get but watching others posted their exotics looted.

Thank you Kioshi.

I used to check events by http://guildwarstemple.com/dragontimer/. When I login the game last day, the web indicated the next karka event would begin at 8 hrs later.

Waiting 8 hrs Karka event, I made a team because I know my game must crash once in such event to ensure re-login to the same world.

When Karka was in 50%, game crashed and I quickly re-login.

Karka was dead and no chest left for me.

What a stupid system that clear what players done 30 sec ago.

Crash in event i.e. temples, dragons, Karka, is common in this 2 months. I found that it is weird crash only occurs once in every event. I don’t know why. I believe it is not a problem for my i7 16GB iMac to load data.

FlamingFoxx.1305:

It’s reasonable, but it’s not required… You paid for access to an account to use for a program that is in beta. Beta does not imply anything. A beta might never reach public release. It might be released publicly with little or no changes. It’s completely at Arenanet’s discretion.

So companies make products (game or anything) and mark them “Beta”, no need to take any responsibility!?
