Guild Wars 2

Masquerade Armor Boots for light users, if you managed to get to wolf rank before the feature patch that is.

Is there a progression cap on the balthazar track? I just played +/- 10 games and didn’t progress one bit from the 31% I was at.

I really don’t know how to feel about this. And I was really looking forward to using the glasses in combat, too. Owell…

It seems the asura in red didn’t like my new look and decided to demonstrate his superb skills in the fragile art of roundhouse kicking.

Hmnhh…

i love this thread

I know right

Man, MMO drama sure is srs bsns.

Its predator aura.

That’d be the first guardian using a rifle I’ve ever heard of.

We had some really great fights against Blacktide on their BL’s garrison. Keep it up guys!

Aww man, that made my day.

PUG warriors almost refuse to use their godkitten rush moves, and I beat them to the acolytes by like 5-6 seconds every time.

Yes, that sure is unfortunate.

Does this count?

Yup, it’s just a preview bug. The shield doesn’t actually clip one bit.

I’ve opened around 40 of those chests and haven’t gotten a single ticket. Whose idea was it to add more RNG to a game already filled with it in the first place?

What was wrong with the model used with wintersday skins where you could actually buy the skins straight out from the Gem Store? Bet it didn’t yield them as much money as halloween gambling, but that’s reasonable as the wintersday skins were kinda meh. I’d be willing to throw 20-50€ on the table if it only was 100% sure that I’d get the skin I wanted. With zero gambling that is.

The current system would even be tolerable if those tickets and/or skins were tradeable. Making them account bound just makes me (and many others) feel that we’re forced to use our every last ounce of ingame gold or completely dry out our Mastercards/Visas if we want to get those skins. Unless you get lucky and happen to find a ticket on your first few tries.

I’d also be cool if a recipe (like the one on halloween) was added that’d let us forge those useless piles of boosters, tonics, bank acces expresses etc. Reading that someone has opened 200+ chests without getting a skin is quite a bit depressing in itself.

Loving the game still i dont care what these mainstream WoW zombies say.

That comment was insulting, out of place, not constructive in any way and downright useless.

Who are you referring to with this ‘’WoW zombie’’ term of yours? All I saw was someone state a fact about WoW. Did you really feel the need to stand out for GW2 and try to make that very person seem inferior in our eyes, labeling him/her as a ‘’WoW zombie’’?

The people who have played WoW for several years might expect other games to function in a similar manner when it comes to patch notes and other stuff like that.
Even if someone was comparing your precious GW2 to the high and mighty WoW it gives you absolutely no right to go calling them ‘’WoW zombies’’ or whatever idiotic names you might come up with.

My 2 cents. Never played WoW btw.

TL;DR
Sheesh, fanboys.

It is still a possibility that the agents can be used to infuse the new ascended amulets. No one has one yet, so it can’t be confirmed.

Yup, gotta love those rollbacks. Suddenly I just lost the tiny bit of motivation to play I still had left.

if you’re going to lose motivation over a tiny rollback (and it rarely happens), then it probably isn’t a game for you

I had just finished doing Arah path 1 when the servers went down. Got my 60 tokens ~50 silver & one exotic from the last reward chest – and lost ‘em all. If that’s not enough reason to lose motivation to play, then what is? I bet some people might even have gotten precursors before the rollback. Just imagine how they might feel.

Yup, gotta love those rollbacks. Suddenly I just lost the tiny bit of motivation to play I still had left.

GW2LFG.com just hit 200k total LFGs. I’d say this is quite a clear message to Anet.

Gramerr.4790:

Wondering the same, it would definately help if someone from Arenanet could confirm whether the lack of effects is intended or not.

Agreed, that would definitely help.

Tsaerid.5084:

It’s a permanent version of the ele conjure flame axe which has no special effects either, at least in your hand. Would be nice if they maybe added a flame trail on swinging the weapon like the one the ele version leaves when you throw it.

Yeah. I actually crafted the weapon in hopes of a cool fiery swing effect and got a bit disappointed after realizing there isn’t one. Effect like that would actually encourage players to craft the weapon. At the moment it just seems a bit dull.

Bumb, still wondering.

I just crafted Titans’ Vengeance yesterday and found it pretty weird that it has no custom attack effects and/or flaming animations like the Mist weapons and Volcanus for example. Is this intended or is the weapon maybe bugged or something?

It’d be way better if fractals progression was account wide. I really don’t feel like redoing all those levels on my three alts.

The puzzle was awesome! (but rewards were kinda meh as usual)

I pugged the swamp thing at difficulty level 5 and surprisingly we got it through with first try.

Is your whining fun to read? No.
Personally I still think this is the best addition to the game so far. Okay, the events were laggy & kinda bugged, but the new zone is beautiful and the dungeon is just kick kitten Great work, I gotta say.

So yeah, he’s been bugged from the beginning and the new build didn’t fix anything, pretty much. Yesterday the event wasn’t starting and today you can’t talk to him after completing the event. Great, isn’t it?

This is on Far Shiverpeaks EU server, any other servers having problems with him?

Grazingcattle.1627:

Along with that question… will fractal dungeon be availible immediatly? or is it some how attached to the lost shores event?

Not sure, but I assume we’ll have to complete all the events before we’re able to acces the new map & dungeon.

That O’Neill’s gonna pay me back big time. Wonder if he’s selling kidney beans

Yeah, there’s that, too. Wonder what they were able to fit in those 200 kilobytes.

So yeah, I was doing AC explorable with a pug. I had to get out to find us a fifth player since the guy from our original group had got some connection problems and wasn’t able to continue with us. I got out of the dungeon and BOOM the text hits my screen: ‘’New build available. Restarting in 3 minutes’’.

Bet you can already guess what was the next thing to happen: I tried to enter the dungeon again, just to be able to join the same instance of it after getting the new build. But no, my game suddenly decides ‘’Screw the 3 minutes, I wanna restart right away’‘, and so it did. I logged back after downloading the nice couple hundreds kilobytes of random what-so-ever stuff, just to find out that * drumroll * I can’t get back to the same instance with my group.* Ba-Dum-Tshhhh *

We were just about to finish the dungeon, too. It took us nearly an hour to get to the last cannon trap @ path 2. Just to clarify, I was playing my level 36 mesmer, so don’t go all ‘’An hour?! What a noob!’’, please.

I really would want to support the game, but things like these just make me go rolling all over the floor (in it’s negative meaning).

Suggestion: Why is it just kitten 3 minutes?! Why?! How about 30 minutes, or even 10, so you can get all set before the game goes off.

TL:DR : I’m pissed, fix the new-build-available-timer-o’-doom-and-apocalyptic-trolling-sequence, order me a pizza and peace out.

Personally I had to take a break from all those ubër nerd rage topics and find small quiet place to share my opinion.

a.) No. Anet would never make us forget about the older dungeons. I’m pretty sure they’ve got something new for them in the upcoming humongous patch.

b.) Yeah, this could be one of the mechanism to encourage the players to keep running older dungeons. Doesn’t seem like a bad idea actually, as long as they keep the token prices actually obtainable with maybe 2-4 dungeon runs.

c.) No, don’t think this would be the case. They aren’t releasing any ascended weapons afterall, so it’d be kinda dumb to trade a weapon for a ring or maybe a back item.

d.) Weell.. If they’re reading any of these ‘’rage threads’‘, they might already have figured out that people are absolute against grinding. Their best shot at this particular issue would be either low token costs for the new gear, or make it so that once you complete the dungeon a fixed amout of times, you’d get to choose a piece of equipment you want, a bit like in the personal story quests.

Yes, I’ve been watching over GW2 since the date they announced it. I’ve read every blog post they’ve made since the beginning. I know they had that manifesto and all, and yet I think this is definitely a right step for them to take. The patch looks great and there’s no denying it. I just don’t see the point of all that rage going on right now. First people whine how there’s no REAL endgame, then they stomp the kind of endgame Anet tries to offer to the ground. That’s just stupid and childish. Peace out.

Stop whining for God’s sake, they just gave us some hints not the full system and people are QQing like hell. Just, wait, if it doesn’t work out I’m sure ANet will do something about it, can you just give it a shot before nerd-raging?
Thanks.

They heard us nerd raging before they posted the new blog post. The blog doesnt even acknowledge that we are upset about it.

The stat differential between ascended and exotic is pretty substantial, compounded with more than one item.
Theres no point to obtain exotic gear anymore, the prices of that will go way down.
Theres no point to farm old dungeons because the best stats are waiting for you in the new dungeon.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.

2800 posts says that this is a bad idea.

They actually told us they’re going to release more information. Why wouldn’t they release more information about something that no one actually knows about and yet rage over it like some kitten kids fighting over a lollipop? It was for the best to release the information, and it actually looks quite darn good.

Ok cool. I was afraid there was some glaring problem I couldn’t see.

There is a glaring problem: the game was always advertised as one without gear treadmill, but just 2 months after release, gear grind is introduced.
A lot of people playing GW2 chose the game because it promised no such treadmil and experience different from other MMOs.

If we wanted to play game with gear treadmil, we would play one of tons of games on the market, many of which do it better and have f.e. better support, in-game support, account restoration, re-imburesement in case of bugs etc.

I dont understand this statement. So your saying the ONLY reason to play GW2 is the no gear progression? What if someone loves the combat of gw2 over WoW but also wants gear progression? For the record I am not infavor of one way or the other I just dont care for this statement.

^THIS(Usually don’t like using this phrase, but for this one time I’ll allow myself to use it) Seriously, I don’t see the point of all these rage comments. Get over it. Best patch so far. I never played WoW and I still thinks this adds some diversity to the game. Exotics are just too easy to obtain.

Guess this has been suggested by quite a few players already, but yeah, it’d be darn good to have something like that. At the moment the only EM dungeon that I find hard (and that’s only because of it’s length) is Arah. Some story modes are actually way harder than the explorable modes of those dungeons, which is a bit weird.

Wonder if we’ll get anything similar to this in the upcoming mystical November Update.

Didn’t see a difference, really.

So yeah. I came across a guy with the ghastly longbow and almost fell off my chair. The particle effects on the bow were just amazing, way cooler than those in other ghastly weapons. I instantly wanted to go and buy the bow for my warrior, but then started wondering if the crazy effects are just a bug.

Could a dev please confirm if the bow’s supposed to look like the way it looks right now or not. I personally wouldn’t mind if all ghastly weapons had the same effect as the bow.

I seriously don’t feel like doing AC anymore after that fiasko. The set weapons’ glow effect is also bugged at times, which is kinda annoying. Hope there’s a giant fix or something on the way for all these little bugs.

Heya, I just tried doing AC Route 2 with a pug. We got into the point where you have to protect Detha while she’s repairing the cannons. We did fine with the first 2 cannons but when Detha started repaiting the 3rd one the game bugged out and suddenly spawned 5 ghosts at once.

We wiped a couple of times, but finally managed to get down the ranger… Just to see 3 more ghosts spawn in front of us. At this point we all had died about 5 times on that one task, and one of us decided to quit. I went outside and got us a new member.

That’s where the game bugged out completely. It said on the top right corner that we were now supposed to lure out and kill the Ghost Eater. We all basically were a bit confused, but happy, since we thought we had cleared that bugged part. We entered the cannon room, and realized that Detha was gone. She just had disappeared completely. It also shows a chest on the map, but there’s nothing there. This basically kitten us all off and everyone quit.

It took us about 1,5 hours to get into that point just to find out that’s it’s completely bugged and we wont be getting any rewards for the dungeon, because of the new reward system. I also had to repair my gear twice because of those bugged ghosts.

This is really something that makes me sad when I think about the game. The game has potential and is by far the best MMO I’ve played in a while, but things like these just take the fun away from playing the game.

So yea, this might have already been stated by someone (couldn’t find any topics regarding this tho), but I was really disappointed when I went ahead and spent my 500+ tears on a shield & axe (while I could’ve afforded the gift) just to find out that the glow effect on them is bugged as a kitten. The skins of those items in daylight are a bit meh, but I love the glow effect.
So I’m asking that is there possibly a fix on the way for the glow effect? It’d also be darn cool if the weapons were to glow in dungeons for example.

Sorry, if this is a wrong place for a post like this, but I felt this wouldn’t get heard anywhere else.

Can’t handle this amount of butthurt.

Just wanted to point out (If you haven’t noticed already) that AC has been bugged for quite a while now. Basically you can’t enter the instance or you end up in there all by yourself. Is there possibly a fix on the way?

Can’t believe people are still complaining about this. Get over it already.

Background is the key.

Dinky was the real hero in the end. And Forgal.

This. Costs 20g but is worth every penny!

I wonder what happened to the ‘’Anet listens to the players’’ part. IMO this is the worst change so far, and I’m already thinking of a refund.
