Missing GW2 Stories on the "news" section

I kind of understand that the best choice would be to have it in game, accessible through the Priory’s library.

But I don’t know… I think by accessing it on a website would make it easier to read instead if just having to click “next” indefinately.

Ultimately I would want to have kind of the same emphasys to side lore as we see in other well established MMOs.

The books that ANet has released so far were great to read and I believe it went really well to make a bridge between GW1 and GW2. However it should not stop there. To be able to have more information about characters, culture and whatnot would be a great complement to the core story.

@Shiren.9532 I used Scarlett’s story as an example. Before that there were other short stories that would give a different view of the events that were happenning in Tyria. There are infinite possibilities that could create a new short story or a new book.

I cannot be the only one thinking like this ^^

Missing GW2 Stories on the "news" section

Hello,

First and foremost let me start by saying that I absolutely lore Guild Wars lore, both the first and the second game.

I have read and re-read the 3 books that have been released so far and I have devoured both game’s wikis.

One thing that I also liked having about this website was the stories that the GW writers would release from time to time. The most iconic of them all was the story about the life changing experience that Scarlet had when she entered Nomad’s machine…

I really miss that. For people that really enjoy the lore and the stories behind the game it was a nice and intereting way to get more information about the characters, the story, motivations. etc….

I am telling this out in the hopes that we are abel to see this again… That and hopefully a brand new book to read

Writers and lore lvoers of Guild Wars, I call the!! Unite!!!

I know there must be endless topics about how good the soundtrack of this game is.

I am just listening the AWESOME “Fear not this night” song, both the English and the Chinese versions.

I felt the need to leave a post here saying how a beautiful song this one is… One of the best song that I have ever listened to.

Therefor here is my thanking of whoever created such a beautiful song!

I start by apologizing for this rant.

I am really unhappy in the way the quality of my connection to GW2 is turning.

I have had some lag in the past and rare dc’s but since the past week it’s turning into an abnormal situation.

My machine is the same as is my internet connection. I have also spoken with some of my guildies and they all suffer from the same.

I have had consecutive disconects and have extreme lag spikes. I don’t understand what could be affecting this but I hope this gets fixed soon because it is impossible to play and enjoy Tyria like this.

:( Really unhappy

Are the changes to Kessex Hills permanent?

in Tower of Nightmares

Posted by: Herly.9107

Herly.9107

Well,

Even though I preferred the previous beautiful scenery Kessex Hills I actually enjoy the change.

Through it I really do start to feel that the world is changing/evolving. Ok, one can say it has evolved fr the downside but it’s still an evolution.

Who knows somewhere in the future (when the Toxic Alliance is banished) we will have renown hearts to help rebuild Kessex Hill and return it to its original state (without the centaur vs human contest). At that point we’d say “Do you remember how it was like in KH before the TA appeared… Those were the days” XD

I really do hope that Anet continues to make permanent / semi-permanent content like this. Change Scenarios, change DE, change NPC’s with meaning.

Regarding Plot and Lore

in Tower of Nightmares

Posted by: Herly.9107

Herly.9107

They did claim that they usually work in cycles. If I’m not mistaken they usually work in a couple of months to prepare. So it takes time to adapt from feedback the community has provided.

Additionally they are also learning and evolving together with us. I understand the point of what it seems a incoherent story line and lack of depth. On the other hand I so also feel that through time they are getting better and better with the LS concept.

Since I am a lore junkie I just wished there was more lore and some loose ends being tied or further developed.

We will see what the future will hold in the future :]

There is still people left fighting in UW. GuM is not going anywhere.
And last night we managed to get a rather massive zerg in homeborder and wipe the enemy quite a few times and retake most of our stuff in there, so there is still fighting going on, even if the majority of the guilds decided to flee.

Well,

Coincidently or not I was there… Defending our keep from both rival servers!!! Epif fun!!!

May I add the suggestion on the forum thread list to add the date of when it was last updated/commented?

Sometimes it’s just difficult to check how recent a thread his or when it was the last time it was commented.

Wheres has the storyline gone? - A rant

in Living World

Posted by: Herly.9107

Herly.9107

I think that, for me personally, the main reason LS is not working is due to primarly of the frequency it comes out.

Every 2 weeks we havea new pach. Even though it quickens the pace and for the hardcore players it delivers new contents and new challenges every 2 weeks, it also makes it (apparently) less thought. Especially lore wise, it seems very shallow and not very deep. I have not played GW1 so I cannot make a comparison with them. Being a “fresh” GW2 player I can only say that I love the game, the way it was delivered when it came out.

Having a level 80 char there are still loads to do (WvW, JP, farming, Legendary, crafting, dailies, etc.) and I am not tired. What I dislike is that whenever a patch is launched I have to go where everybody is going, mass farm the new zones and do the other steps to reach the meta achievement. The alternative is just to miss it out completely because let’s face it: 2 weeks for casual players are gone in a heartbeat.

I think LS is a good concept, it just needs more structure and a coherent line, not just 2 week patches with neew achievments to meet and low lore and long-term goals.

Official state of skill lag and server optimizations

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Herly.9107

Herly.9107

Hi Syndrilious,

I am completely ignorant as far as the background and what needs to be done as far as server or game client. I can only provide feedback from just an average user.

If I understood correctly GW2 has on the WvW feature one of its unique features (and quite frankly it is awesome). I do understand that when massive zergs join together and clash things tend to be a bit “slower”. As a player it is kind of a bummer… True, but manageable.

In the beggining there was some lag but I noticed that it went on getting better with the work invovled over time. However, since the WvW leagues and Bloodlust feature I noticed the lag and (something I had never experienced thus far) skill lag and NPC’s lag. One can say it has more people palying it (which is good – the more the merrier).

I understand that new features bring new issues and complication. I relate to that. However, it is hard for me to understand how can Arena Net have one of its core game features have more features which will obviously bring more people into it and not be fully ready for them (especially when they claim that they bring it out only when it is ready to launch).

Quite frankly I would rather not have WvW League (which in my server brought more conflict than benefits – but that is a totally different story not relevant for this thread) and have maps that do not lag with big zergs than have a league that you cannot play well enough because you simply cannot play.

I do not want to sound bitter or picky. I just completely love this feature (WvW) and obvisouly I may be sensitive when things do not go as they are planned. This needs to be addressed and I am happy to know that staff of Arena Net (BillFreist) officially made a statement on this. At least we have a confirmation that things (even though slowly) are being addressed. Let’s see how much time we will have to wait to see them implemented and detect them!

OP skill lags since WvW seasons started

Since the WvW League began, when having massive battles with zergs I have been experiencing skill lag.

Makes it a little bit difficult to play.

WvW Guilds left UW Server!!!

in WvW

Posted by: Herly.9107

Herly.9107

The only thing that concerns me about the recent guilds leaving our server is that we do not have any zergs to compete with the other servers.

When I initially played WvW I enjoyed it because we as a zerg had a challange when we encountered another zerg. Sometimes we defeated them, others we were defeated. And that was fun.

Nowadays it touches the ridiculous side. We are always no match as far as zerg size is concerned. We always have the “outnumbered” buff (which is kind of neat sometimes) and we are always wiped out when we meet another zerg because we simply to not have the numbers.

There are times that the frustration reaches a point when you fell like you just want to give up because we simply do not have the chance. Where’s the fun of always losing because our zerg is always smaller in comparison?

Commanders to their best with the people that still play the game and I do endure and come back to WvW. It is just that the fun decreased because of the outmach we are as a server.

After reading all of your comments and posts I come to the conclusion that the ranger profession is a good one but it has the potential to be an even better one.

I started as a ranger and it is my main. I love the fact that I play ranged with my LB and switch to melle with SB or GS or Axe/Axe or Axe/WH (I currently play with LB and Axe/WH).

My thoughs pretty much go with the rest of the comments I have read. PEts can be usefull in the short run (I switch between a sylvari hound to give a minor regen and the wolve when I am downed) but they are definately reliable. They die too easy and can only be useful when they are sent into the enemy(wheter on WvW or Dungeons) straight away. I wish the AI of the pet would be better to make it more enduring.

My traits especiallized in Power and Accuracy to get the piercing arrows and the signets also affecting me. My utility skills revolve around signet of stone (invulnerability when active), quickening zepthyr or singet of the renewal and signet of beastmastery. Downside of this if break stunners are really low and I tend to rely mostly on myself than on my pet. That’s pretty much how I roll.

Tequatl: Tactics (New Video of Success in OP)

in Tequatl Rising

Posted by: Herly.9107

Herly.9107

I kind of enjoyed doing Tequatl even though I do believe that the organization of the zerg in order to kill it is kind of near impossible.

From the events I was in there was really no organization at all and we did not even get 10% of his health.

It was fun as far as a lot of people together but if my goal would be to kill it I would get really frustrated as I fear the boss as it is now most people will not be able to kill it. I like the challenge but I fear it may be one too difficult to accomplish for the organization required from the server.

I kind of enjoyed the buff on the other world bosses… Makes them more interesting!

I have a ranger as my main char. I really enjoy it in PVE and my pet has manage to save me from near death countless times.

In sPVP I think ranger is a great cond dam class. The pets here are of little use as they get wiped out fast and provide little support / damage.

As far as dungeons I do feel that my pets are of no little use (without the rescue and revive feat) > I am unable to properly control them and they go rushing in to the mob, getting itself killed fast.

The same applies in WvW as far as pet management. However the fact that rangers can do ranged damage adds to their survivability.

I think rangers are a class in the middle of the scale. It has its pros and cons depending on the situation. Obvisouly that the pet maneaement system is not very effective other than in PVE and it may benefit with more cond removal but overall I like it.

I have mixed feelings about this event…

On one end I did enjoy it… I felt like on a massive raid with a lot people fighting for the same goal.

On the other hand I have to express some dissappointment for the bugs, the massive lag and the fact that I was not able to do everything like I was planing.

I do hope that you learn from this experience so that it does not repeat… I am confident that your next event will be even better that this…
