Guild Wars 2

Dead-eye P/P is way too over-powered and too easy to play, was quite annoying when trying out the new Elite Specialization during beta.

Nerco’s shield needs to decay little slower.

Renegade felt like it is unfinished. Needs more offensive, little higher range etc or better defensive, movement etc. Overall Revenant really needs more condi cleanses.

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

still runs on DX9, barely has any 64bit support, 4K makes it unplayable, textures are at it’s max supported quality yet is even worse then oblivion standards, no bump mapping, still works with old fashioned spite systems, etc..

the engine needs as serious update if they want to compete with the other games, even WoW, a really old game, still competes while GW2 lacks behind.

GW2 has bump mapping, I have no issue with 64bit client as the main purpose is to allow the game to access more memory which fixed the memory related crashes, and the only issues I had on 4k is the interface is far too small.

GW2 was built to support low ends computers too and the clients is already heavy on the CPU alone doing loads of calculations without maximum settings set. All main MMORPG are usually built to support low ends computer to increase the wider audience. They just needs to sort out how the game handles CPU cores thats all but really it isn’t important yet.

WoW is bigger than GW2 and have enough funding to hire a team to rewrite the whole game. Correct me if am wrong but does WoW even have any bump mapping? To me WoW looks like its using directx 6 :P.

GW2 engine is great, fast loading times, decent graphics. The only reason GW2 will update the engine is for the performance, but the graphics will just be the same, example – http://im.tiscali.cz/games/2009/12/04/388215-news-1920x1200.jpg

It is unnecessary at the moment the think about the engine and GW3. Your bored so you rather work on a new game and engine which takes years? I would rather have them using their time expanding GW2 contents than unnecessary stuff.

There is not going to be GW3 for a very long time if it’s going to happen. The main reason for GW2 is for the change of gameplay not just for the fancy graphics. (GW1 received engine improvements over the years).

The only part of the engine that needs improving is the performance which relates to CPU.

I’ve been playing since early access and I still got loads to do on it. Sorry if I offended anyone but the hard-core players should either take a break and move to a different game until there is new contents or get a job.

Nice surprise move from anet…… i’ve wasted huge amount of ascended shards of glory just for the pvp skin…..

Am happy about the feature BUT not happy about that I now have to farm the same amount of shards to rebuy the same set but the ascended version.

I thought it was a good example but ok –

Fractals – Why should a level 100 get more reward than a level 1 if that person has the gear to complete level 100?

Skill Points – Why should a character who collected all skill points from map exploring unlock full elite spec sooner than a character who hasn’t?

PVP – At start people could unlock better skins with a higher rank but it all changed a while ago. Rewards could change again when the updates arrive.

Legendary – Why should people who saved gold and collected mats create new legendary weapons sooner than someone who has none?

Raid – Why should people who has 999 LI can find a group easier then someone with only 2 LI?

WvW had a really poor reward system but still the loyal WvW people still continue to play WvW even though they have not been happy with the reward system. This system was needed since day 1 to reward loyal WvW players. Why should all loyal WvW players start back down at the bottom of the rewards scheme when they already put a lot of time into WvW? Loyal WvW should not have to invest double the time more than a new WvW player to gain a higher rewards when those people did not care/bothered about the WvW before. Now they have improved the WvW rewards with unique skins etc and now the new WvW players are moaning that the loyal players should start at the bottom like them.

1º Fractals- You are comparing a lv 100 fractals with a lv 1? If thats the case, its obvious that a lv 100 fractals should be more rewarding, thats not what it is up to debate, but the fact is that if two diferent players complete whatever is a lv 100 or lv 1 they will get both the same rewards.

2ºHero Points- Yes, someone who have map comp will be able to unlock(or get really close to it) a full elite espec…but the diference between hero points per hero challanges are diferent for a veteran player then it was for a new player? Example: I as veteran would get 5 hero points for a Hero Challange where a new player would get only 1 hero point for the same Hero Challange?

3ºPvP- Rewards on PvP used to be skins for PvP only use(couldnt use your PvE skins on PvP), titles and finishers. With the introduction of the Wardrobe, Anet did awarded PvP players with all the skins they had on the game mode to be used on PvE, also transmutations charges. But still, these same players dont have a boost on the Reward Track or the pips gain during the League.

4ºLegendary- Honestly your arguments make no sense at all…its obvious that someone who plays this game since 2012 will have more then enough materials to craft a legendary weapon…but the point is that if a new account or a old account start to farm they will most likely end up with the same results(even if the old account would have a high magic find and a extra % on gold gain).

5ºRaid- Here you talking about someone getting accepted on Raid easier then someone else…this is a human behavior not imposed by the Raid System, just like on the old days people would kick you out for not using full berzerker gear , even if most of the dungeons can be easily soloed.

All of the game modes when compared to what they used to be to what they are now, you will realize that by today standards they were all terrible unrewarding, thats a fact.
This whole thing just show how selfish some people are, its hard to believe that someone would even defend a reward system that can easily put to shame any mega grinding asians MMO out there.
This update have nothing to do with pleasing the vets, but atract new playerbase to WvW, but how do you think people gonna react when they find out they have to put 2,3,4 even 7 times more work then other players just to achieve the same level of rewards, basically having to make GW2 WvW their second job. Not sure about other people, but last night when i played, didnt have a single map with a queue, even got EB with outnumbered.
In the end will be up to Anet to choose what they think is best for the game, but when people start leaving the game mode, dont start complaining that the devs give zero attention to WvW and all the maps are deserts with nobody to play with.

1 Fractals: "With Dessa’s authorization, gain access to additional daily achievements ", “Prolonged exposure to agony will result in improved rewards inside fractal dungeons.”, “Greater attunement with the fractals will grant bonus rewards from Chests of the Mists as well as Unlocked Fractal Encryptions.”

2 Hero points: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/List_of_hero_challenges_in_the_Heart_of_Maguuma Required Masteries: Gliding Basics, Updraft Use, Bouncing Mushroom, Lean Techniques, Nuhoch Wallows, Poison Lore, Exalted Markings, Leyline Gliding

3 PvP: PIP progression based on player’s choice of playing more games. Cannot play more than 1 WvW match per week on a single account.

4 Legendary: “if a new account or a old account start to farm they will most likely end up with the same results(even if the old account would have a high magic find and a extra % on gold gain)” Exactly. WvW pip progression ends up with same result and old account gets bonuses. As new account plays they are also gaining WXP rank. Same result.

5 Raid: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/A-Note-about-the-Next-Raid-Wing/first, “Learn to safely launch to great heights with an explosive blast, without singeing your socks.”, "Those who possess this Mastery can wash away their ailments and afflictions when the opportunity presents itself. "

1 Fractals: A new player can only access level Scales 1-25 in LFG at start plus a personal level 1 account will not get the same reward as a personal level 100 account on a level 100 run if that player manage to get into a high level party. New player has to do 100 runs until he able to get full rewards.

Oh right I remember that before wardrobe! You got mystic forge crafting drops related to your PvP rank which could be used to get more skins. And you didn’t get any PvE levels before so all the top level PvP players only had like level 5 toons and couldn’t do high-level PvE content. Gem-store skins you had to choose whether it was for PvE or PvP. Hehe. I kind of miss being able to wear different skins between PvE and PvP.

How unfair it was that all those skins vet PvP players had stored were converted to the new wardrobe system.

The only good unique skin I had converted is only the dwayna’s longbow that is around 400g now UNFAIR ANET I WANT THOSE SKINS TAKEN OFF THE OLD PVP VETS NOW! :P

Wrong, new and old players who step on PvE will get the same number of AP for completing some achievement, will get the same reward for finishing a Dungeon, Fractals, Raid and other events on general.

Can a new player in rare gear jump right into lvl 100 fractal? A raid?
Please think about the whole picture before posting your incredibly ill-informed bias.

No on Fratals no cause agony, but on raids i am pretty sure that there are groups who made it using only green gear…but still, a group can carry a new player through a Fractal and even if he didnt do anything, in the end he will get the rewards as well. This is very common actually, people even sell spots on groups for players in exchange of gold.

Great, none of those scenarios are relevant to the current discussion here, thanks.

Why not? I said that other game modes(PvE and PvP) reward all players the same, no matter for how long they the game…you said its was false and i proved to you that it is actually true….how is this not relevant?

Because you are relating AFKing and carrying to active participation. This topic is about new and old players putting in the same time/effort.

Well I said that because you give me a extreme example, a new account wont even know what a hell is a fractal or a raid, godkitten man….and even if he choose to do it, yes he could get carried and would get the same rewards as everyone else…but lets go to other example then:
Someone who plays Fractals since its release wont get more rewards then someone who started playing a year ago. A Dragon rank wont get more pips on PvP just because he played longer then a Dolyak rank. So I ask you, Why a Diamond rank should get more rewards then someone who is new or even someone who allready have all the WvW skills unlocked(Rank 1000)?

Why should a experienced employee get paid more than a new inexperience employee on the same job role?

This is GW2, a game not a job, so dont avoid the question…“Someone who plays Fractals since its release wont get more rewards then someone who started playing a year ago.

WvW also carries new people, each person will still needs to work on their achievement etc to get the main rewards.

Don’t worry guys, all the moaning will soon move to the PVP section when the PVP changes drop with some new shinies!!!!

I think the update is great and I believe the vats do deserve the extra pips. This is coming from who is below rank 150 with no extra pips. I think the system is what the WvW needs, reward those who spend their time in WvW more than those who just want the shinies.

You should be doing WvW for fun not for the rewards…..I would love to have the legendary armor but I don’t find Raids fun, rather do overtime at work as it is like work dealing with people etc so therefore no legendary armor for me.

VG training group are mainly only ones that appears….as I said, I manage to get 3il.

Great idea, am sure people would join me who has lack of experience now for a no chance of successful run.

Did I not mention that i can not meet guilds usual RAID time? I’ve join a few to see it’s nearly impossible with my job. Unless I learn another language, chanage my sleeping patten and completely ignore real life so I could join Guild RAID at a different time zone…. or could just leave my good pay job that pays for the living cost so I can get into guild’s standard RAID time.

Dont judge without know clearly on other people situation (and not clearly reading the first post)…

Not asking for rewards, a easy hand-outs. Asking a chance to experience each wing and then maybe start my own group knowing each sector.

Hey I am not judging you. All I did was providing my own personal story of how I entered a raid instance.

It was not aimed at you, someone posted after your post basically being a kitten which was removed after my post

Possible to get into raid but can be a lot harder for some with limited time. Very hard to get into groups without exp, cant gain exp without a group.

If anet doesn’t do something RAID will die off.

Current raiders will get bored and the high requirements will grow puts people off learning RAID like myself as it is not easy to find a group.

Hard to find a raiding guild as the raiding time usually is when I am at work. Plugging is extremely hard as the req usually kill prove or 100il+. I have only manage to get 3il…

When you do get a group people get treated like kitten, instant kick because someone had toughness on a training group (felt sorry and explained only lures/tanks are supposed to have it only).

If you have not master the full RAIDS and dont have much free time it is nearly quite impossible to get into it.

Not everyone like me lerns by watching YouTube, only by doing. RAID needs to be new raider friendly with easy/training mode or else anet hard work slowly die off.

Rev doesn’t have anything unique that the other class can’t offer.

Just more skill is required in some cases.

It is important to be energy efficient and not button bash all available skills, only use skills if nesscory and not waste energy. Examples

Using shiro’s quickness to get to a capture point, you will have a hard time if a someone appears while you have no energy.

I only use Dragon elite only if ethier at team battle, enemy downed or teammate is downed etc, wouldn’t use on one person running towards me/point as they will just probably dodge it which will be a waste and could give me a harder time without energy.

Revenants is a very hard class to master.

Many people are using the class wrong, it’s more using the correct skill in good timing then run in and button bash until it’s dead (if you know what I mean).

Rev still could do with some improvements in some areas but it is not useless.

I am loving the class at the moment.

Just an little idea for the Legendary weapons.

The down side with the Legendary weapons is the you are limited to range of colours to use that dosen’t make the Legendary weapon look out of place, and the Legendary weapons are starting becoming more common than standard skin weapons.

Would be awesome if there was some sort of a system that allows you to change the theme of the Legendary weapons, example -

Bifrost – Black and white theme
Incinerator – Blue flame theme
Frostfang – Green Jade theme

Because this only effects mainly the veteran players…. their focus are on making new players happy.

I believe that this topic will grow as the veteran players finds out that their WvW currency is now stack of waste of time and they have to do an extra 10h+ to complete the GoB track when they decide to create an legendary…

I believe the change is a good thing but with no warning or clear announcements will just annoyed veteran players such as myself, at least allow us to cash in the time we spent in WvW for the GoB for another week followed by a clear announcements for everyone to see not hidden in some notes.

Its gonna take me weeks to complete the track due to life thanks anet for the extra pain….

Well they forgot to update the badge detail in the wallet windows….

I’ve built stack loads of badges for gift use only and now it is a stack of time wasted. People are saying it takes 8-12 hours to complete the track….that will take me weeks due to life commitments.

Either have to Que to join a live map or a out-numbered map…. I only get few hours free a day , I just do not have enough time for the WvW.

Your comparing WvW with PVP and dungeon rewards, you are straight into action doing PVP and dungeon gaining the rewards but WvW you have a que to wait, join and get to where the commander is, waiting around for commander/people – not exactly fun when you have so little time of game-play.

Reason why I have stack saved for the GoB to avoid the issue…. (If I’ve had more time I would enjoy WvW)

I rather use my free time playing the game rather than reading updates in detail and standing around in LA…I only get few hours free per day therefore I would have to use the time relaxing and enjoying.

Sorry for my grammar etc lol at work and rushed the post…

If it normally takes 8 hours…its gonna take me weeks to complete… lucky me!

I’ll be spending my free time after work running around in empty WvW maps out-numbered and getting killed… not really what I would call “Fun”.

Alright for the people with no life commitments who are able to join an organize groups/guilds at any time….its empty when i have the chance to play these days.

I already accepted that I will never able get a legendary armor due to time is needed. I could have still able to create legendary weapons but anet are so thoughtful and removed GoB from vendor making my stack a completely waste of time…. and made it boring, lame and hard to gain GoB….

Awhile ago I had stacked up badges (Joined a good WvW guild) and saved purely just for cashing in for Gift of Battle as I didn’t like it but this would avoid the pain…

Just starting to craft Staff (currently doing collections which is a pain) and only just found out now I’am being forced to play WvW AGAIN!

Tried WvW after the update and it was dead, dull and consent out-numbered…. had no chance completing any reward track. I don’t have money to waste to transfer to a live WvW server just to do the reward track….

Please return the Gift of Battle back to vendors… I rather have WvW map explorer back instead of doing reward track for gift of battle…

or add it into a sPvP reward track.

been having a very crappy month….this just cheered me up thank you loadzzzzzzz

SAB will probably return later on next year, for now they are quite busy with the HoT expansion.

Cheers guys.

Will check it out
