Guild Wars 2

thanks guys!

Yea I understand that I have to pay extra for expansions, that goes without saying. I am talking more equipment wise. Weapons/Armors/Skins.

Example: how about the armor sets? Are the the nice armors all behind paywall, and only the not-so-pretty. Like, those what were free back in the day are now paid or…?

Hi,

I haven’t played GW2 in years. I’ve no idea how it’s changed after the first expansion let alone the coming one.

More importantly, I had GW2 pre-ordered (no normally paid game). Now the game is “Free to play” variant.

Can you guys tell me about:
1) how would it be coming back to GW2 now, and maybe leveling a new character
2) What will be my status in accordance to my paid version of the game, and what will be hidden away behind a pay wall? What can one buy for real money and what needs to be bought for real money now?

Cheers!

srsly? no answer? :/

Hello,
I don’t want to complain – just want to ask a question that’s all.

So I’ve been playing yesterday for a few hours 3-4 not sure. In this short time I’ve encountered 3 skill point bugs and 1 jumping puzzle bug… Also, 1 quest bug and 1 skill bug.

In my opinion for a game that is not in beta phase and it’s officialy released – that’s a lot. Mind you, too much.

I just would like to know if ANet is doing anything about the bugs in game? I mean do you gather information about bugs and you will release a big patch fixing everything? Because I can’t see any hot-fiexes.

Again, it’s just a question about “is anything happeing towards fixing the game?” – not a whine or attack or anything, don’t get me wrong and please don’t flame me

hah, on the other hand, you could also spend some time on reading and looking for info (about upcoming updates) before posting something like that

What I can tell is that the “voice acting” in general is sort of weak. with comments like “I’m awesome!” from my female char… it just doesn’t fit in fantasy RPG.

about norn mele? well try charr mele if you thing norn crys a lot ;p

1) I do not understand why am I under your rage attack. lol.
2) I just pointed out that you could use other comparison than Crysis 2. I could also use a comparison to World in Conflict which I played a lot. and on that basis say GW2 matches last exactly as long as they should, and you are only frustrated – I do not know why. and why are you attacking us here lol.

Also, I do know what Crysis 2 is. I also know that there aren’t any professional leagues in Crysis 2, and that it’s multiplayer will probly die soon if it isn’t dead already.

It is not about if we have time to play 30 minutes – it is a question of if we would like to spent as much time on 1 map. this is exhausting, Let me assume your strategy – in World in Conflict, maps lasted 20 minutes and sometimes even that was hard in the long run to keep focus and do everything a planned. Especially in leagues like ESL. To have fun on… oh wait, maybe you forgot, RANDOM ARENAS in sPVP with RANDOM PEOPLE – we need variety. And the 10 mins is just enough to keep RANDOM PEOPLE going.

plus. ANet said some time age (few days?) that there WILL BE OPTIONS to create rooms with your own rules. Wait for the update and then play against some other people who enjoy 10 hrs map game – go for it, none of my bussines.

I probably shouldn’t anwser here to honor the “don’t feed the troll” rule of thumb, but I will.

I don’t understand your argument sir. first of all this isn’t a shooter. and second thig, are you saying that sPVP matches are too short? what would you like more? 10000 points and matches 30 minutes long? that would be pointless I would like to point. Please make your argument clearer or sth.

thank you very muc for the anwser. still, I’m more interested in PVP. In a character that would allow me to stay at range while doing nice damage at the same time. To be honest with you guys, last night I tried Ele, played about 3hrs on random arenas and it was quite ok. I died ~2 times in each fight so about one more than on a ranger, but this was more fun and intense for me. I think I’m gonna stick with Ele for the moment and I’ll see what happens next.

I would also like to get back to ranger some time in future, but I’ll do that when LB builds will be somewhat better.

This seems legit. I’m gonna try/think about it mos def. One more thing, what about this Ele? No one here plays ele? How is it?

Sky.9347:

I just want to mention that you shouldn’t automatically discount Warriors and Thieves. In fact, while reading your post I was thinking that a Pistol/Pistol Thief might be what you’re looking for.

hm, that’s interesting, thief with 2 pistols sounds fun, but when I tried it I got kicked my butt kicked a lot.
It may be because of my wrongly spent traits or utility skills, but still – it probably isn’t good to die a lot.
Can you tell me more about this dual pistol thief? What about second weapon set?

Also, this is the first time when i read that “Mesmer is difficult to play” – this is interesting. I can see everywhere that Mesmer is one of the easiest. But thank you for claryfing.

And what about Engineer? isn’t that class kinda tank-ish, keeping him self at range? shooting his rifle or droping bombs?

edit:
lol I see more and more range warrior enthusiasts O_o that is geting more and more interesting.

Hey guys, this is my first post here and I haven’t found anything similar to it – so I post. Of course I could read all of the forums and I could get some anwser to my question but that would be unreasonable.

To the point. I have a pretty old laptop, but if I’m not in close combat with say ~8 players the game runs smoothly. I’ve got pretty decent FPS count in whole PVE content and also in PVP but when I keep at range from bigger fights. Basicly when I get in the middle of big fight my FPS drops ad I can not target and mcro-manage fast enough to be competetive – I can only AOE or try to get away to keep distance – effectively.

So in beta I tried out every character and Ranger worked for me the best. I didnt die at all or maybe once in those random arenas and I decided to play it now. It is ok in PVE. In random PVP it is also not bad – I’m usually at the top of the table with maybe 1-2 deaths. But I play as a harraser (use of LB and Axe+warhorn) – I’m not so competative and probabl not the most needed player. In tournaments and future GvG or some more organized PVP I will be probably not needed at all, since to be good and key Ranger you need a lot of micro management to get the CC right and help your team mates right. Plus at this game-stage you need to use SB and Axe+horn/torch which kinda forces you to be more “inside” the battle.
This is from what I read (here on forums) and from what I understand

So I’m kinda looking for a different class to play. My requirements are:
1) Need to be ranged. (Warrior/Guardian/Thief -> rejected at the begining)
2) As little micro management as possible + maybe lots of AOEs or something.
3) Again, some class that I could keep at range while beeing valueable for my team.

I thought about Elementalist – since it doesnt have any minions/ilusions and stuff like that but I’ve read that Necros and Mesmers are suprisingly easy to play. So I do not know now…

What can you guys recommend me? What abour Eng maybe, I havent read about that class at all?

I hope this is understandable and not too chaotic post for you. Thanks in advance. And please don’t tell me to upgrade my rig – I will when I can ;p
