Guild Wars 2

Guild wars 2 is the best engine in MMO, why guild wars 3?

I have too many of these… they are worthless… but I like the systems we have right now to get them. Just leave it as it is. Rather have too many, than too few.

I agree, multi loot are the most toxic snitch filled place I have ever seen.
One false step and you are dead. The elitism is great to the level they seem to favour botting for this trivial task.

But then It was only obvious no good thing could come from people who organize “multiloots”.

Hide AP and hide masteries?
Hide gear and Legendary Insights?
Hide Agony resist?

Otherwise you feel the pressure to get those and not look bad?

WvW was always the icon of GW2
and you don’t want to play it…

sure WvW needs some updates now, but it is still one of the best things to do in a MMORPG nowadays.

Besides they warned about this, and you could have bought tons of cheap Gifts of Battle for 500 badges.

The same thing goes for gift of PvP and gift of PvE and gift of Exploration, why would you change the easiest one(WvW)? lol.

I decided to update/edit the OP with new opinions.

Rauderi.8706:

Additional side benefit to GW2 that extends the play experience: Alts.

GW2 is incredibly alt friendly, which means I can experience the entire breadth of the game without groaning about hours and hours of sloughing through 100+ levels of zones or spamming dungeon runs.

So, if I’m not in the mood to play my ‘main’ for some reason, I have a ton of other play experiences waiting for me.

This is very true, plus the ascended/legendary gear being account bound, and fractal levels/pvp rank/WvW rank being account bound.

Sardath.8524:

Wow raids are forever too, only they won’t offer end-game rewards.

They aren’t forever, because they are no longer raids anymore if you can solo them.

Welcometotheden.8547:

The top MMO’s for me were:
For DCUO, well…that’s a very simplistic package that is challenging in end game, but the draw was the lore and story (as much as there was.)

I agree with you, I think I will add story and customization to the tags, as super hero MMORPGs are also very good at that.

Kirschsahne.2081:

Well words like Fanboy come to my mind.

The MMo market is so incredible bad and all of the games not even close to be entertaining anymore.

I see nothign else than repeating repeating repeating over and over again.
Nothing is really content or entertaining. A-Nets cuts corners wherever they can
instead goin the extra mile.

How do you think is it possible that the only gaming aspect that has nothing to do with GW2 is the most popular and most wanted ???? And yes, you can guess it’s SAB.
Y

I think MMORGPs are not for you. Specially if SAB is the greatest feature for you in a MMORPG. If you hate MMORPGs, its time to for you to move on, instead of saying how bad it is, and saying a feature that is the main of other types of game (PLATFORMER) is the best part of a MMORPG. You clearly prefer a PLATFORMER, with probably some minor RPG and social features, but that alone is not a MMORPG.

Valky.2574:

Basically gw2 might be the best of the worse, but that don’t mean it’s good.

My tastes are simple, I’m always satisfied with the best.

It feels there is no other MMORPG that is better than GW2 right now…

All the other seem to be hype and die in a month. (Black Desert, Blade and Soul, etc).

WoW being the one that lasts longer, but stays dead longer (1 year no content, twice), WoW has higher player base, but when you actually go and play, it feels like no one is playing, not only the garrison makes you feel alone in the game, but when you try and go out in the world you notice it is also very empty, this does not happen in GW2 as you always find a random noob every dark corner you try to dig into.
WoW vanilla felt much better, while having less players, the game felt full of players, either in cities or people trying to level up or dungeons, quite similar to GW2 world (just look how lion arch is always full of people).

Also the game modes in order of importance (mostly for casual fun):

PvP: I play casually (not seriously (competitively), but I do PvP often), GW2 feels slightly more rewarding (skins/loot) and slightly more fun (faster games). Still wish there was 1v1 or death match arenas (no contest), but this requires a lot of balance or it falls like BaS did. Something like guild wars 1 was better.

WvW: GW2 & elder of scrolls online. WoW open world pvp is dead.

PvE: GW2 content lasts forever, while WoW content dies. While players chase different content for different rewards, new players come and take their place, renewing the cycle.

Raids: WoW has more raids, GW2 raids last forever, so eventually GW2 will win.

Alts: Ascended/legendary gear being account bound, and fractal levels/pvp rank/WvW rank being account bound. Other games you have to do everything again, or most of the boring part again.

Customization: BDO, Champions Online (Original and best imagination creation possible), DCUO

Story: SWTOR.

JP/Mini Games: WoW(has battle pets), GW2 (SaB)

GW2 content is much more stable and persistent than all other MMORPGs.
If you like MMORPG you don’t have other choice, but play GW2.

Opinions?

Another reason that you might want to buy HoT is that there is no other MMORPG that is better right now… all the other seem to be hype and die in a month. WoW being the one that lasts longer, but stays dead longer (1 year no content).

GW2 is much more stable and persistent. If you like MMORPG you don’t have other choice.

Donari.5237:

Spoons don’t take long except for needing a Tequatl spoon (relatively easy, just have to wait for a Teq fight) and a Siege Commander spoon (probably easy, but I haven’t been in WvW in a very long time, so that’s the only part I’m missing from that).

For story achieves, I would go with Echoes of the Past as easiest

So I suggest spoons, skritt queen, 4 legendary bosses, skritt JP, and Echoes of the Past for your 5 points.

Thanks, this is all I needed, funny enough I already had those spoons without starting the spoon quest, the ascended spoon always kept me away, and still is, but maybe I should read about it.

TexZero.7910:

All of the story achievements are easy enough to solo.

But the question is, which are the 5 easiest, in order of easiest to hardest.

Zoltar MacRoth.7146:

Have you done Triple Trouble? I think there’s a mastery point or two in there.

All other that I did not mention I already done, thanks.

I need advice on where to get the last 5 masteries.

-I have bought the living world story 1 and done the point of no return, but haven’t done achievements on any other.

-I also can do the dry top skritt queen and the silverwastes gold badges, puzzle and all the legendary boss modrem monsters.

-I could also do the spoon collection, the other collections seem to expensive or I already done them.

The question is for people who done them, what combination is easiest? which stories are easiest to do, no time problem. Probably excluding silverwastes monsters as that also requires luck (in finding them).

Thanks

They need to put this on sale this month.

As for refunds: if you’ve had these account-bound items for ages, we won’t be doing refunds because you’ve already derived substantial benefit. If, however, you bought them more recently, we’re doing refunds on a case-by-case basis.

And to people that did only buy only 1 so they could benefit more from these? They should get a prize for being smart? it is not fair for the smart to always refund the dumb.

Im doing a huge pause from guild wars 2 and playing a lot of other games, only coming to gw2 to do dailies and some minor winter stuff.

But… wow those updates are cool, i never give up on guild wars 2, but that is too good to be true, but nice, specially the WvW updates.

Now you just need to add WvW autoloot and the game will be perfect.

People asking for refunds.

What about people that were smart enough to know that a shared slot would come and did not waste in multiple coppers and tools?
It would be unfair that people get a refund while all this time they got extra comfort, while people that were smart did not, there should be a prize for being smart, not dumb!

I want my 9000 gems.

People liked more GW2 and not other games because there were no raids and Anet focused on PvP/WvW/Story.

At least a good reason, WvW first, fine.

But you better not forget my quicksilver mortar effect so I can WvW max range, only then the world can have peace and be perfect.

I agree completely, same to raids. Raids are boring.

They need to stop copy WoW and make the game unique and fun through PvP/WvW like in the beginning.

Rauderi.8706:

Shen Slayer.3058:

Why waste resources in developing that for a one time use?

/cough
Raids say hi.
/cough

This is one of the main reasons why they should not focus on this resources, look at WoW, dead game.

Dungeons, PvP, WvW, were nice and repeatable, Anet needs to focus on revive those, and stop wasting resources on dying gameplay.

The only improvement they should do is increase the range of function gyro, I love it, but 900 range when im using a mortar from 1500? I do not want to walk!

Also the red gyro that explodes should receive the traits from explosions, after all he explodes, and more damage for him would be nice.

Bump. Also skills from kits and toolbelt skills need effects, and this is important.

Raids is kinda what “ruined” the game.
Raids take too much time to be done, and feel empty. They take time that should be used in other things (PvP, WvW, Dungeons) and put it into new dungeons that are just a few bosses.

After you do them there is nothing left to do, like in WoW and other raiding games.

In WvW, PvP, Dungeons, you just do them over and over again because they were fun and/or rewarding.

They need to stop doing raids, or it will end “dead” like WoW, it is just not worth it, and everyone rather have fun in other content, pve maps, pvp maps, wvw rewards, dungeon rewards

I just hope raids do not kill guild wars 2, I miss WvW as unique feature of guild wars. PvE is nice now, but raids… ruin… ALL…
Raids are not bad themselves but make the other parts of the game worse it is not worth it.

I meant for old pvp players, there are only a few skins. But yes there is more stuff for all other type of players specially pve.

Plus some achievements, some nodes can’t be really used to show off, skins and minis are/should be the best way I think to be “rewarded” for your old efforts.

Guild wars 1 also had many unique skins, in fact the system of guild wars 1 to guild wars 2 was all about exclusive skins, and seeing this as a 1 year old forum thread, it is good to see Anet keeps that way and does not forget the old players and their valuable emotional sentimental treasure.

Please read:
It should be kept exclusive; for all the old players who got it, in memory of old pvp days plus the work to get it. Otherwise there is no way to tell who played really long ago.
It is like a prize, if it is gave away to new players the skins would lose its meaning, skins need to get a lot of hidden/exclusive old flavour too! ;

Plus since guild wars 2 does not have many exclusives like other games do, that is one more reason to start having these exclusive.

Plus with raids new people will probably want to use the new raiding ones instead as they are the show off ones.
If there are skins exclusive for raiding, there should be exclusive skins for pvp and exclusive skin for old players that played the game really long ago or since the start!!!

Keep this as a prestige old skin in memory of the old days like i said above, and add new skins to keep the new players happy. It would not be fair for the old players if these was just added to all players…

Quickfoot Katana.8642:

JPUlisses.8756:

all the raiding and forced end-game style causes us to leave that style of game and made us go to guild wars 1 and more pvp game

I dont know about you, but I dont know a single person who played GW1 for the dress-up casual game.

My friends/guild were always doing end-game CHALLENGING elite zones activities like UWSC, FOWSC, DoA, Urgoz/Deep and Heroe’s Ascent (PVP).

There was always also the more casual PvP but quite fun, like JQ, FA and RA.

Name one of these features in GW2.

It is funny how you say you dont agree with by saying everything to agree with me. Yes they should focus on those things. Yes pvp casual wqs very fun. Rather have that or improve than raids.

TheFrighteningFrenchFry.3275:

JPUlisses.8756:

I compare this more or less to LS rewards, fractal backpack and fractal weapons etc. some people do not like them, however since they are optional it is fine, and by optional i mean you aren’t forced to do it

Fixed for ya: )

What a deprevation, i did not say that. In fact it must take a lot of hits in order to imagine something like that.. Dont use the quote system to write things i did not that is being a coward too.
If raids do have unique rewards then they are forced to so it in order to get the rewards, there is no way around, making the raids the forced end game like in many other games, instead of having a free ending of pve pvp and wvw like we had in which we could do what we through it was most fun, now I will have to raid and hate just because I want the rewards and that might cause me to search for non raiding mmos despite i have been into gw since the start.

Hoeeverfrom what I seen the raids are a easy joke so even though i hate them i can probably pug a raid and faceroll them and be done with it. It will be loke the weekly forced grind till I collect all the rewards, then back to have fun.

I think problem is not who would play thief.

But what raid group that wants to win, would let you play thief.

Or rather, what group would not be only Guardian/Ele/Mesmer + “Tanks” + “Healers” which are in those 3 as well.

If raids are all about synergy why would you take any other class other than those 3? Maybe warrior for tank and ranger for heal, but very specific jobs for specific fights, the core will always be those 3, mostly guardian/ele, mesmer is just there for the niche.

I fear raids MAY kill Guild Wars 2.

They should stick to World Open Bosses, they did it great like no other game did, they just had to improve map queue for more people to come in into maps, but the fights themselves are cool.

Raids do exist in other games, they have a lot more experience in doing them, plus, more content, all the raiding and forced end-game style causes us to leave that style of game and made us go to guild wars 1 and more pvp game and then to Guild Wars 2 because there was NO RAIDING.

Some people will enjoy raiding, yes, but from the people that can enjoy raiding, and from the people that will actually enjoy raiding will be reduced, add to the factor that most people that play guild wars 2 do not like raiding because of certain factors such as guild, getting a group, organizing, seeing tactics and so on that are often solved in world bosses will cause a mess.
This can be solved if the rewards for raiding will not be exclusive, say a pvp track, if they are exclusive to raids…and people won’t raid because they merely do not want to raid, even if they are good and could success, im seeing the game having a bad time.

I compare this more or less to jumping puzzles, some people do not like them, however since they are optional it is fine, and by optional i mean you can literally get everything you could get from them (except achievements) in other places.

I have 24GB Ram so I never had problems with memory crash on my new computer, however I had on the past with my old computer (had just 4 RAM), but they were very rare, also had that annoying sound bug when had memory problems, it seems it was all ram.

Despite that I still went to try 64 bits on my new computer, I had a 60 to 20 fps drops on same graphics, after reading here, I tried to put the game running with Nvidia card, and I got the same FPS I had, basically the 64-exe was running with CPU graphics by default.

I will be running 64 bit for now, never had problems before, lets hope that continues, I could always go back to 32 if something wrong happens, but since I have a 64 OS, 64 games should be the way to go.
Hopefully this means that more CPU is free and on heavy areas or PvP, my computer could use that and don’t get a FPS drop on more intense demanding actions as it could have on 32.

Also found this by searching for that music, can’t wait to find and put it into my mp3, really great music.

ykyk thanks for insulting me but thats your personal opinion, im not threating, its what i feel and i will.

If you don’t have fun doing a game, always failing, and you really hate it, wouldn’t you quit? seriosly?

Im here trying to give my feedback, so maybe arenanet changes it, if they don’t i have to change, for myself, this is a service, if i don’t like i go away, its my right.

And i have to disagree with you again, this puzzle haves amazing rewards, i wanted to do this with all my chars, but i can’t even do it once, i want the exotic boots for all of them, and i want at same time to have the achivement, which is all content locked for me, so either you consider it minor or not important, i consider it as a requirement, and its not acessible to all players.

Now you can say i can buy the boots from TP, yes, but that would be too costy, and again i would be favoring players that have jumping skills and do this jumping puzzle probably in less than 5 min and get an exotic.

I took several hard work weeks to get my gear, so i probably will do the same for my alts instead of agreeing with cheap tactics, but thats my opinion.
Im just saying who is “good” at this jumping puzzles got a major advantage over all other players non-pvp wise.

Arena net should consider another type of events, or at least possibilities, so players could get the same thingies without having to do a jumping puzzle, but not allow players to do both (otherwise they could just do both if they wanted), but just choose the way the want to play the game and get their FAIR rewards.

This jumping puzzles are making me miss guild wars 1… you couldn’t jump and it was a good thing! I hate this puzzles.

I tried this puzzle can’t do it.
But at the moment i refuse to do it, and soon i will refuse to play this game as well, as in a rant against this game puzzles if they continue to be made as major event.

This jumping puzzles are making me miss guild wars 1… you couldn’t jump and it was a good thing! I hate this puzzles.

I can’t say how much i hate this, plus the fact they made it an achivement so its almost like a requirement is making me uninstall this game, for a jumping puzzle game i would play other games, or just another mmorpg. It makes me very sad.

I see 6 pages of canadians making fun of europeans without any regret, despite they have a dedicated language server, bigger contry, and use night time.

But go on, you own, 500 vs 10, such merit.

JPUlisses.8756:

So canadians saying europeans are hackers and humiliating them everyday despite its not even their server is okay, but saying canadians should play on american servers, is wrong.

I never said anything bad about guild wars 2, and always tried to report bugs/exploits when i find them, but community is failing big here, and im starting to feel bad about this game for the first time, for such a simple thing.

Canadians? I’m French, I just happen to live in Canada since 1 year, I have the right to play with my friends no? Why should I play on North America servers where I don’t know anyone?

And I assure you, I am one of the rare players from my guild to play from Canada.
To my knowledge there is just another one and a third one playing from California.
My guild has more than 300 players.

French Canadian won’t play on EU servers, it’s just pointless for them to do so.
It’s not even a night-capping issue, it’s just that when I come back from work, around 6 there is no way I get into the battleground, it’s 100% full.

Usually I get inside the Desolation map around 9pm which is 3am in France. At this hour, there is nothing else to do in RvR.
Most of the time I just do the puzzle jump and leave for some dungeon, map exploration or maybe I try to go into the eternal battleground (which is full, any time, for any of the three servers).
I just can’t wait until tomorrow to finally have some RvR action with my guild.

What I’m saying is that it’s bad for a Canadian to play in the EU server, I’m only doing it because I’m part of a french guild and community, other than that it means no RvR, less ways to create a party for dungeons, less players for dynamic events and most of all, being the subject to all sort of accusations.

99% of the Quebecois players are playing on NA server, trust me.

Oh, last thing: in Quebec 40% of the population doesn’t speak French very well. Hey, it just came to me, all the eastcoast of the USA are also only English speakers.

Now tell me: why would the French Canadian play on EU server while ALL the others immigrants (from UK, Spain, RU, German etc., trust me again, there are at least the same amount immigrants from Aussie or England than from France on the whole North America east coast) stay on their North America server?

Well, you seem like a decent and honest guy, so please, you have to stop thinking that nonsense, it’s quite irritating for players like me.

The servers are open for anyone i belive there is a reason for that.

But now imagine a couple of people go to our house, claim it, humiliate you everyday in the forums, and take everything from there all while you are sleeping, but since they are from other contries, its racism to report their crime, thefor you must understand and keep shut while being humiliated by other contries in your own home.

Not to mention its really unfair that a server, dedicated to a language, is fighting a server with many contries as you said, all desorganized, even when some refuse to talk to others (i never saw a russian speaking in chat and i saw a lot of them), how we are suposed to fight, a massive canadian community while we are like 10 guys all from diferent contries that never saw each other at night?
Even if it was at same time, and we got the same numbers, they would probably be all on TS, same language, etc, just advantages, we barely have any open wvw guild in FS, most just quit and they keep quitting.

With all this problems the canadian people still make fun of us, no matter how unfair this battle is, i wonder if people from actual france do actually play.

If they didnt came to the forums stepping down so much and using their cheap tactics, at least this could be somewhat fun and still playable.

What i prenteded to say earlier by making FR american servers is that they should just make canada fight america servers, they are all big contries, and same times, it would be more fair to all.

So canadians saying europeans are hackers and humiliating them everyday despite its not even their server is okay, but saying canadians should play on american servers, is wrong.

I never said anything bad about guild wars 2, and always tried to report bugs/exploits when i find them, but community is failing big here, and im starting to feel bad about this game for the first time, for such a simple thing.

Canada better go back to america, europe is for europeans btw.

Solution:
Make FR servers in America since most of them are canadian anyway, maybe 1-3% is french. I know USA hates canada, and they dont want to see them, but throwing the plague at europe? really?…

Or

You can make language server dedicated servers to only fight other server dedicated servers, that way it would be more fair, instead of lesser Europe contries all with small guilds very disorganized against a huge canada and their many guilds which they don’t even hide in their guild names anymore now.
