Why would we? Deluxe Edition is just whatever current regular edition is offered plus golem, rytlock, mistfire, etc. Though, I have heard/read the new golem is 2 weeks, as opposed to 5 days. Just because someone purchased a DDE, doesn’t mean they didn’t get the ‘extras’ a DDE offers.
If anyone should complain (and they shouldn’t), it would be those that bought a regular edition and did not receive any extras. Of course, those people did receive every free item and content release that was offered between the time they purchased and now.
The new 2 week golem is buyable, the deluxe version comes with a free 5 day golem, that’s the difference.
The Deluxe version was there before the heroic version. There’s a difference in buying a higher tier product while not being able to receive at least the same amount of content a lower tier product in addition to more incentives.
Re-read what I wrote and re-read what you wrote. It’s clear that you don’t know how to express your thoughts out properly.
My apologies on confusing the golems. Oh, and thanks for the insult. I hope you get everything you deserve, or feel you deserve. =)
There was no insult, you only feel it was insulting as long as you believed in, I don’t believe I deserve anything, perhaps my words might be too tunneled visioned on your perspective that it looks like I’m demanding, but it’s actually a form of question in which you base constant assumptions on.
OT: I don’t need to reword my question to short sighted people, if you feel like you have nothing contributing to say, ignore the thread, nobody wants your opinion if it’s irrelevant, you’re only obliged to write a post if you feel like it. You can easily scroll by.

woops meant legacy
For those who bought the deluxe edition, do we get compensated?
Woops meant legacy armor.

You can’t see it as content like that each patch. The speech is part of the jubilee, and it’s the ending for the story.
CTRL and try to find the chests.
Don’t bring gender roles into the game, it never turns out good. If someone calls you a “godlike” player, would you happily take the compliment or lash back at them saying “it’s goddess to you”.
Same concept, get the title and be glad you have what most don’t.
Pretty awful idea, means that it would be impossible to do the Orr temple events and suchh.
I’m not sure how you considered any of these to be bugs.
If you gain quickness during any skill then yes the animation doesn’t visually change. Your subsequent hits will definitely look and be faster. It is more noticeable with combo skills like flurry and 100b.
As for the 8th hit of 100b not executing, you either got interrupted or canceled it. And yes, Last Chance trait works when you hit something under 25%, I’d hate for my target to go below 25% hp when I’m not near it and waste the 4 seconds of quickness because I’m kiting or doing something else.
Good assumptions, but that’s not the case, I’ve been farming on my warrior and I can see what’s wrong with them.
-100 blades is pretty bugged, doesn’t execute the last hit
-frenzy doesn’t increase the attack speed duration at all, sometimes it bugs and looks like ur normally attacking
- warrior trait 25% quickness only activates when the next attack strikes the targets health lower than 25%, takes a while for it to kick in.
I’d personally love to see some nice casual town clothings, like the one from Wintersday.
This is only happening for 2-3 weeks, don’t expect a post-apocalypse economy crash forever.
Explain please.
You die because you fought a challenge and lost and expect a revive button? What a joke, the way point is right there, takes you less than a minute to walk back to a dome, and you expect people to revive you?
That button is there not to revive you everytime you die, but it’s a choice it gives to players. If they decide to revive you, then they will, if not, get over it and just way point back.
People that are near you aren’t entitled to reviving you everytime you die. If you die once, you probably will die again, and they don’t want to constantly rez you just so you can get an unlimited amount of tries till you get it down. It’s part of the reason why they want to keep the dome to themselves, but it’s more on the fact that it’s annoying, especially players like yourself who expect a rez by a nearby person when YOU die.
I fail to see how it’s anyone’s fault but yours in this situation.
Players who grind are less likely to buy gems with real money. Which means less money for new content.
They are also the players who want a gear treadmill. Gear treadmills gate content and slowly kill mmo’s.
If you’ve done your research, you would know that the money in buying gems doesn’t help fund the game directly for newer content. This has been brought up months ago.
It’s pooled together to fund more than one Ncsoft game. But some money form each of those games does go towards funding GW2.
Buy not buy gems, that player is only costing Anet/Ncsoft money for development.
Then you would understand that those players farming aren’t drastically changing it to that point where Anet wouldn’t get funds for their new projects/contents.
Well said Jeffery, but I am sure you are about to see the real reason for the toxic nature of the “community” any minute now.
What might that be, I’ve played many games and the GW2 community has been one of the best and mature communities of any game. If they have a valid argument or point to bring up, they’ll have reasonable statements.
The only toxicity in this community are the newbs that come in thinking that this is a game where if they put in 2-3 hours a week, they should be on the same level as players who put 5-10 hours a day.
I have no complaint about regular farming such as Champs, or COF.
The only thing broken I found is Deadeye doesn’t have DR with its rewards. That’s why its so popular. As its easy with certain builds and doesn’t suffer from doing something repetitively that farming typically penalizes you for in every case in the game if you don’t rotate.
Beyond that, you have a valid point.
It’s true that a DR value would lessen the popularity of Deadeye farming, but it still wouldn’t matter with the situation at hand. People will still continually complain and whine because they’re unable to do something that they put no effort into.

If you think that you’ve achieved everything and know everything that this game has to offer, I guess you can say that, but I highly doubt it so it’s just a typical player who’s grown tired of this game.
How is it anyone’s fault but yours for spending that much money, or joining a small guild. Things happen, don’t blame the game.
I don’t understand why everyone is complaining about farming or the new “grind” spots. Take this as an opportunity to make some money that you’ve never been able too, people complaining “problems” to Anet that they already are well aware off does nothing.
“Nerf Deadeye farming rofl”
“Broken game, champions need nerf”
Are you angry that other players are able to make more money than you? Are you mad that you’re not able to do what they can? You think this is a concept of the rich get richer and the poor gets poorer? No it has nothing to do with any of that, it’s the fact that the players that are willing to work towards a goal such as a legendary are willing to put the time and effort into the game to achieve it.
Now compare a person farming 10 hours as to you just playing the game casually for 2-3 hours. How in the world are you able to make the same amount of money as the person dedicated to farming? How do you think that your green gear compares to his fully equipped exotic/ascended set? Those players farming deadeye and farming champion runs are the players that are willing to play that part of the game to get what they want in the game.
If you know about deadeye farming and you know about champion farming, why aren’t you doing it too? If they’re willing to put in time to get what they want, you should also be able to put in time to get what you want. Stop complaining about how it isn’t fair to do this or that because you can’t do it. You chose your class and it excels at an area where other classes don’t. That’s the game, and grinding the game to get some gold also is part of the game.
Nobody but yourself can tell you not to do it if you know about it. In the end you just don’t want to do it, so you believe others also shouldn’t be able to do it. That’s horrible logic, don’t blame people that stock up gold will “crash” the market, there are various reasons as to why prices go up and down ALL the time, don’t blame one reason you believe is a “crash”. “Crashing” the market means nearly every item is lowered significantly to a point where anyone is able to afford them. An item dropping less than 10% isn’t considered crashing, mats go up and down all the time because people farm them and people use them, it’s just which group of players farm them more or use them more.
Lastly, everyone started at the same pace for the most part, nobody got godly in one day so learn to stop complaining on how it’s unfair for thieves to farm deadeye and make 15g+ an hour, or warriors/guardians/mesmers can farm deadeye for gold so quickly. Because I’ll tell you one thing, those players that are farming the current deadeye are probably experienced and put time into the game to get to where they are today for sure, so stop crying about how it’s unfair for them to do that and you can’t.
Nobody’s stopping you from making their classes, or finding new ways to tackle on that challenge. That’s always been how video games work, the creators make something so that players can find a way to play around it It’s always up to us as the players to find new meta’s to play around a certain obstacle in the game.. Just so it happens that people are able to farm Deadeye so well, is because that’s just how good they played out that part. Hint hint, it’s not an exploit if it’s part of the game, you need Deadeye for achievements, and if it’s an exploit, what’s the “exploit” behind killing a guy repeatedly? It’s already been said that this isn’t permanent, so why do you make it seem like 1-2 more week(s) of this is going to change the game so drastically that it’ll never be the same again?
Deadeye has already been nerfed to a point where you need certain builds and a certain skillcap for you to continuously farm him well.
Champion runs are a way for players to group up, better for the community than just a game where one person can do only so much in PvE.
In the end, if you don’t like the new update, it’s probably you just not being able to do anything that this update has to offer, but breaking news, this game isn’t only just you.

you don’t understand what a korean mmo is, be glad that anet has given this opportunities to the community. You put time into the game, you actually get a good amount that a player is satisfied with. Korean mmos require you to spend money to win, pay to win usually, this update just allows players to seize the chance to farm up if they want.
Items for the most part aren’t inflating/deflating like crazy other than the newly released items, it’s only mats that are crashing/inflating for the most part. There’s nothing wrong in adding an old fashion grind to the game, a normal player usually makes around 2-3g an hour back then, now you can make up to 10g+ with the new updates.
It’s an opportunity and it’s there, don’t make a thread saying that everyone is doing it and taking advantage of this, because there are a good amount of players that aren’t and are.
If you think GW2 is a game where a level 50 should have the same opportunities as an level 80, or is a game where you can put little or not effort to gain godlies, then you’re playing the wrong game.

You might not have that problem if you go to an overflow with not that much people.
Id agree with the queens jubilee, gw2 needs a grind now and that’s exactly what it provides. If they remove it I hope that there will be a place to make more than the average 3-5g an hour.
The reason being so is that those people grinding can afford things they want faster. Everything becomes “grindy” when you have to repeat it over x amount of times.
alright thanks.
Well u have to see how anet took this approach. there will always be players that’ll be able to work around things unless anet “breaks” something, they would have to either made deadeye unbeatable or remove him and the achievement to get rid of “farming”.
deadeye before and deadeye now are very different, and this deadeye is ALOT more harder despite it still being farmed.
Is there a confirmed date on where the pavilion will be unaccessable or will it be permanent world content?
People get stuck inside, people get paired up to tag team their boss and your boss, culling in Pavilion.
For what it’s worth, it’s admirable you took the time to write out these thoughts. Even if few people are gonna read the whole thing, it does show you have a great passion for the game.
Thanks, just had to really put out a time line to see some things out.
ame’s great and all, but I really believe there needs to be more loose ends tied up. Alot of players expect alot of things, and the game is only 60%, the other 40% is the content itself. The WvW community/PvP community is doing nicely, but the PvE community is suffering alot from the lack of typical PvE where you grind. It’s just luck in the end, and nobody likes to grind hours and have a lotto chance where if you open a good loot bag, you become rich, other wise you’ve just been wasting time on some cruddy loot.
I honestly look forward to more LW Content, but please, let each LW content be exclusive to itself, and only have certain events that correspond with them. Don’t sugar coat it into something different and re-skin it. It’s really bland and not fun doing the same thing with a different name. Also I look forward to watch the story line progress with Trahearne and the Pact forces. It would be great to see things mix and match and not have a battle of the ACTUAL story line vs LW content
hen Sky pirates came out, and I was like, oooh this looks interesting, what are sky pirates are they a new race or what? I played the game for a while, and then touched on the LW content. I was like, OK who’s that NPC, and who’s this, what’s happening here? Took me some time for me to piece it all together, and before you knew it, I was like wow, just wow.
Is this just some new form of expansion pack? Sure seems like it, the content is god awful for an expansion pack though. Doesn’t seem too fun, but I am curious about the story line and all. I enjoy the GW2 story lines and lores, it’s just amazing, just like how I enjoy warcraft lore, it’s cool, and it really stimulates my imagination, especially since I’m a character in the world that has experienced it first hand. I thought to myself, if this was an expansion pack, this is pretty bad, but hey at least I don’t have to spend my money on one, even though it would probably be worth it. As time went on, I was just playing and getting more into the LW content. Before you know it, Bazaar came out, and then support ellen/evon, I was like cool ya know. My mind really drifted away till I was browsing the forums. After reading what other players wrote, I was like Wow, Anet really did nothing to enrich the already amazing plot of the game and was just throwing loose ends at us. Nothing in the LW content had anything to do with the actual story itself, meaning to me and probably a good many out there, the story line was just enjoyable just once, that first time you did it, the only time you’ll do it.
After that, I was like wow, I don’t mind this LW content, but I really would appreciate it if there was more focus on the game itself, like how Orr changes bit by bit, more insight on the elder dragons each living world content, not some new unknown character that I could give 2 sh*ts about. In the end, it could lead to something, but as of now, it’s just a bunch of loose ends of random isolated content that Anet is throwing out. I still enjoy the game for what it is, because there are still goals I want to reach. I really want my legendary item, so I play the game, get the gold, and eventually make one myself. The community has been by far the most understanding, mature, fun gaming community out of every game I’ve played in the last 8 years, and I love to be in it.
In the end to this very day, I just felt like, this game would be so much more insane and thrilling again if Anet would just add more to the lore. Throwing content out is good and all, but it’s been so long since we’ve had a significant event.
I was looking towards Queens Jubilee, and to me, it was just a really smack in the face. Pretty much how I see it is that there is a NEW villain, that’s a sylvari once again, and this huge arena thing, where you can farm it out. It’s cool at first till you realize that it’s something like a monster park from maple story, where there are just a bunch of different mobs that you kill. The thing is, there is an INSANE amount of bugs and repetitiveness which kills GW2. I’ve never seen GW2 as a grind game other than CoF and farming DEs/WEs. For new content, it’s cool, but so rushed and bad. The culling is not fixed at all, and for over flow maps, where there isn’t a district change anymore, means if you end up on the wrong map, YOU CAN’T FARM REGARDLESS, the mobs are just too strong for a full party, you need like a 70-100 man zerg to take down ONE champion successfully.
That’s not all tho, the queens gauntlet was fun and challenging. Till I found out it was bugged beyond belief. There were times were I was just doing what I can to beat the boss, then there were times where I would be glitched in with another person, and we’ll be like WTH and we tag team 2 bosses, my boss and their boss. In the end I didn’t get an achievement and I had to re-do it over. The new content is quite hard actually, really targets the more hardcore players which is cool and all, but in the end it’s useless content that really reinforces nothing in the game. Bad rewards, bad content, just fun to do and challenge yourself.
I REALLY hope that LW isn’t any type of expansion and is just monthly content updates, because if it is….it’s the HUGEST disappoint ever. I really also hope that LW content are linked together WITH the actual story content, because having a LW content story line and THEN having a actual story line with no significance really splits the game apart. You have TIMED LW content that YOU MUST FINISH or else you won’t be able to do it again, and when you finish with that, you switch over to the story line which has 0 relevance to the LW content.
After that I was just like Meh why not try and play again, I got a few friends that are getting back into it, give it another shot. So I came and played again, I started working towards my achievement points and everything seemed great for the time being. The entire maps had places I’ve never been too such as jumping puzzles and treasure chests here and there. I was like, woah this is so cool, why has there been no content released here and there or something about this in the story? Is this only here for a mere jumping puzzle? Regardless I enjoyed the sceneries and experience, it was fun sometimes grueling, but always spectacular to watch.
Then Frost and Flame came out. I was like, what is this Living World content? Doesnt seem to catch my attention as there was really nothing good that I wanted that it gave other than achievement points in which I stopped getting because I wanted to get gold for items, and enjoy PvP/WvW. As it ended I was being approached by guild members and friends like, “Yo check it out this is cool, man I’ve never seen anything like this before,” etc. I checked it out and I didn’t like it, so I left it.
Then next month the new content was called Frost and Flames Prelude or something. I was map clearing towards my achievement and I was like, hmmm what were these yellow stars. I clicked on some and I had no idea what was happening so I left it as it was and continued. Then I found out people got some pretty cool rewards, and the time being where the game was pretty dead with no release of new content, I gave it out a try, but I didn’t like it at all, the game was there, it was the game being the game, but I found no enjoyment as it didn’t coincide with ANYTHING GW2 had to do. To me it was just an invasion of mole people, and we didn’t really give 2 sh*ts about it, we sent some norn/lionguard/players w.e and it was settled.
This however really got me thinking. I can get rewards for participating? That seems pretty sick, I’d want to have another shot at getting those skins!. Before you knew it, Super Adventure Box came out. I was like, holy dizzles this looks so sick. At the time I was on and off with the game, even though I had motivation to play it, it was on and off, but to me this was HUGE, something new. It looked like minecraft + mario in GW2 terms. I was so synced in playing it out, I did ALL the achievements except for like 3 in a few days, because some of them were tedious and hard. I found out the rewards and I was like, MAN I WANT THOSE. Eventually I found out that you could get them by gold or currencies, that brings me up to another thing.
There has been so many forms of currency in the game for the events, but they are all useless after the events have passed, like candy corn is useless after MKT, bubble babbles, are useless after SAB. I was like hmmm whatever ill do this enough times for me to get that item I wanted, and eventually I got it. Then after this event ended a new one began. It was the South Sun Saga! Lol, I was like YES finally something that has a sequel to the karka king being dead nd all. Turns out it was the hugest disappointment in my life ever. Although I did it, it was incredibly dumb imo. Had nothing to do with anything, just bringing in new people and I was like, ok thats cool and all, but at least have some character development you know? Anything related to the ACTUAL story and quests, instead of bringing in new fresh meat every time you make a LW event. Then after that, they made another South Sun event, I was looking forward towards it, but in the end it was just another mini dungeon with a boss that dropped nothing significant, and people just did it for the achievement and never did it again.
At that point, my mind was just in a different set. I was like Oh man what will Anet bring out next update, I’m getting sick of these re-skinned repetitive events. Something new, something that would make me remember it for the good times. Before you knew it, Dragon Bash was upon us. I was like this is cool and all, it reminds me of Canthan New Year. I was expecting some fun event with alot of people doing it and all, but there seemed to be less people, and I kinda understood why. People had other priorities and believed that this content wasn’t amazing enough for their time. I was like, whatever I’mma check it out, seems great and all, brings back memories, whatevers ill do it. As I was doing the achievements, I was like, wow this is actually gonna take me a long time to do. As I played the content, I found it dull in a matter of minutes. It wasn’t enjoyable to me and I HIGHLY doubt I was going to finish it and was pretty close to quitting the game. Although I was going to quit, I’ve had a good irl friend of mine talking me back into it and managed to finish the achievements before the event ended. I was like sweet, after grinding my eyes out on those horrible holograms and arena event, it was finally done.
Alright, so I’ve been playing GW2 since the beginning of it’s release, and let me tell you what I felt. The game that I was waiting to play since Anet announced it. Everything I wanted in GW2 while playing GW1 was given to me, and when I played GW2, I was just absorbed into the game, because it was just that good. You could finally jump, cartography was so much more easier now, and pressing the Map button really made me feel insignificant and that there was much to do in the game and I’ll probably never have enough time in my life to finish it.
But soon after, like everyone else, I played the game and the game progressed in many different directions. I didn’t really care about the content they were coming out with, as long as they did release new content that would impact the game from time to time. You know, they did release their first HUGE event with the Halloween Event. I was like woahhhhh this is so cool and sick, and when I learned everything about the event, I was kinda like ehhhhhhh I don’t know about this. I mean I know GW2 is a new game at the time, but it was still Anet, and the INSANE events they had in GW1 was just simply amazing. The wintersday and canthan new year events in GW1 was clearly one of the best times I’ve had in my life and child hood, the amount of people, so friendly and warming helping each other out and having a great time, was just like an online party where the invitation was given to people who had bought GW1.
Anyways, I was sort of disappointed when I put my mind into it (who doesn’t get disappointed when you think about things ya know?). I was like, this is a cool event and all, but it seems like it downed a couple of levels/tiers compared to GW1. I thought the game would just race out of a player’s mind, casual/extreme, the game would release the same thing that left a good vibe in all of us in GW1. In the end I was just disappointed. It was cool doing the mad king events and all, but to a person who had played the game at that time, this was very pale in comparison. The Mini-Games to the big event, to the dungeon was just bleh. Mini games back then was just simple and easy. It was like just stand here with a ticket and watch it multiply if you stand on the right circle. Simple things like that in a complex game make it so much more amazing since you have variety.
Mini games were one thing, I knew that Mini games weren’t all going to be where you click yes and you’d have too teleport to some other place and do whatever you gotta do there, but I didn’t know 95% of the time that would be the case. As for the mad king dungeon, I felt so insignificant there, because as I was doing the dungeon multiple times with my friends, I just felt like it was a grind. A grind is ok, every game needs a grind, but for a special once a year event to have part of a grind? That’s just not putting that much effort. The grind only had one path too, like that was so boring after playing for a while that it made you feel like you don’t want to do anything event related.
The actual STORY was SO amazing and it was killed so horribly by the LW content imo. What made me enjoy the game and put more time into it was the Karka event. Now that is something that was just once in a life time experience. That was new, thrilling because of all of the players working together for hours, and it actually left a mark on the game (Southsun Cove). That was amazing, the end of the Karka King or w.e, with the LOOT and the event itself just needed another round of applause. After the event, I just felt like it was a barren waste land unless you wanted to farm nodes or karka. I felt like, wow that was cool, I wish something like that could happen again. Unfortunately, there was never a event like that again so far.
Wintersday came about and I didn’t play, I lost all motivation for the game, and didn’t feel like returning. I checked the website for it’s updates, and I was just like meh, another grind, with collecting toys and stuff like that. I didn’t know if presents were to drop from the sky like it did, but the content that was being brought into the game was kinda dull and just a washed up version of the mad king’s event from what I read. I didn’t play it at all and was on the verge of quitting the game once I beat the story.
