Guild Wars 2

Robert Hrouda.1327:

If it is any consolation I am on scale 22 and have accrued over1600 fractal tokens and not yet gotten a ring either. It is RNG with the Jade Maw.

We are exploring alternatives to the current system.

it’s called stop trying to be wow2.0. Pretty easy concept. You had it right at launch then let someone talk you into making something else. Everything was ok, we weren’t asking for more gear grinds, we weren’t asking for gated content. We were asking for bug fixes and content fixes.

You gave excuses that Exotics were obtained too fast, yet the company said from the start gear wasn’t the prize at the end of the stick, skins were.

You said that legi’s are coming to fast.. for who? For the players? The ones who ENJOY the game? Or for metrics. Just curious how “good” your metrics are for player retention before and after the change?

This fix is easy, don’t give any gear any stat advantage over the current exotics scale. Don’t add “agony” resists to anything but Fractals, and actually fix dungeons to be entertaining with decent drops and the “problems” will fix itself out.

Those who already grind for agony resists have something above those who didn’t. You didn’t have to pay for exotic rings and jewels. Those who haven’t wasted their time, can come back to the game and play with people again because the DROVES of people who left content to farm FOTM will go back.

I changed the title to reflect that it is a personal opinion.

hardly. Listen to your community once in a while. While he may not speak for the community as a whole, you know as well as I do that the small percentage of players on this forum represent a much larger group in game who do not use them.

He is not alone, not even close to alone in this thought as the dwindling numbers in my guild, and in wv3 speak pretty much for themselves.

it’s simple why I stopped playing so much. I was sold a game I didn’t get.

I am used to it though, no whining, I just thought Anet was different. They aren’t, I don’t mind I don’t have to pay monthly anyway so I log in if I am super super super bored, but now, with most everyone on my server dropping out of wv3 / pvp to do fractals which negates the whole reason I chose to play GW2, which was for the pvp going out to empty borderlands by myself isn’t really “fun”. Before fractals, 4 groups in pvp, after fractals, maybe 1. After seeing the world promised with the class patch and being delivered nothing in real substance I see the writing on the wall already.

/shrug I am sure pve’rs will love it, just not my cup of tea.

Humble suggestion, ignore the event and fix things like targeting / bugs / class issues / bug-gated dungeons first.

agreed! WE WANT FIXES! Content is nice, but fixes to important issues like this are what is going to prevent your game from being something that people try for a while then put down.

I have already lost two friends to other games because A) they hate the zerg, re-spawn nature of pugs in dungeons and the target system in this game. They can not stand it. I can’t either, but the wv3 and spvp keep me here. Not for much longer though if every-time I try to target something and pan my camera it switches to a friendly screwing up my rotation, reaction times while trying to fight.

If you play this game, and you haven’t figured out if this needs to be changed then you aren’t playing pvp.
