Guild Wars 2

Ah, thank you both

Has anyone ever translated this wall of text in Tangled Depths? Just curious.

This happens in all industries everywhere. Years ago, when the internet and all this was new and this began to happen, it irritated me so much that I took it upon myself to enter the server security field and dedicate my career to beating those at their own game. I’ve seen every “excuse” in the book, I’ve seen just about every way of doing this..nothing changes the fact that wrong is wrong….socially inept vigilantism is the most cringe worthy excuse I’ve seen for those examples. Odd, you could have just applied a simple principle everyone learned in Kindergarten…“if its not yours don’t touch it”

Bottom line is, this is something that will continue to happen in small percentages, this is a constant vigilance that needs to be maintain and is, accessing accounts for any reason is wrong, damaging, and the consequences should be severe for each and every person that not only did the account compromise but those who participated in knowing it was being done and doing nothing about it. They are the future ones who have obviously made their viewpoint on account compromise known as acceptable so are a danger as well.

Last thing….and most important. People are people, not computers, they are not perfect, that is exactly why procedures and protections are put into place in the first place. Mistakes will be made…its the nature of the business, the people business that make it so unpredictable. Every angle, every step, one step ahead at all times is an unacceptable expectation, its not possible. 20 years experience says its not physically possible. Do not blame the victim, blame the “kitten” who took it upon themselves to do this.

Not to worry though, they will be found, the hole they crawled in on will be not only closed but vigilantly watched from this point forward. Each time, the holes close tighter and tighter. People like me, and others, laugh in your face when we close your spider holes, another pest eliminated, crying and denouncing us and our procedures all the way. “If its not yours, don’t touch it.”

You are now my favorite person for the day.

Yes, so much this.

Adventures are lame. I appreciate the ability to earn mastery points in other ways. I’m sure everyone has their own preferences. This should add some flexibility in terms of how players choose to approach earning the mastery points they want. Keep them coming, I say!

So much this, considering that Masteries are meant to be a stand in for the usual leveling. it shouldnt be so much of a trouble to get Mastery Points. So more options to choose from is just right. So i agree, keep them coming, I say!

I keep getting disconnected since the patch, several different error codes showed up the last one was Network Error 1083:5:7:1595:101, i cant seem to fix this, everything else regarding Internet works perfect, its just Guildwars acting up.

My observation is, that these changes are not good enough, i see a huge ammount of people still talking about the adventures as a total no fun activity and super difficult to do, to earn the Mastery Points. Map chat, Guild chat, all the same. But what is getting more is also the bashing of ppl who cant do the adventures/ not getting silver, gold, by ppl who did it and claim its easy. The elitist behaviour is groing and i think, its something that should be prevented. Make the Mastery Points otherwise avaialable and hide other stuff behind these unnecessary activities. Or add more time to all the levels, no matter if its Bronze, Silver or Gold. Then there are ppl who claim, well make the Story Achievements, well same goes here, some of them are extremely difficult. To much of a difficultly for a game that claims it is made for the majority of gamers, who are not the so called Pros. Seen so many comments on that. Fact is the gap between the normal player and the ‘pros’ is widening and comes with a lot of negativity. Core Game Goals should be accessable by all players. That’s what i think, knowing that there are other contrary opionions out there.

I’m looking forward to the coming story content and the April Update. Enjoying the game since pre start and still playing. Thanks for so many fun times with this game!

We don’t need mounts at all, the way it is is perfectly fine, cause the waypoints are asuran technology and part of this world.

I understand why dyeing weapons wont work, but what about another option? I was just recently thinking about that, the skins for weapons exist already, shouldn’t it be possible to make, lets say recolored variants, and to access those you will have to do a quest to unlock them. Sure is also timeconsuming, but still less as making new models with dyechannels all over. Just a thought.

I dont like these so called adventures either. Why are they called adventures anyway? In my understanding adventures are something totally different. These activities are overly tedious, no fun at all and they block players a lot from finishing collections mastery leveling, cause of the points locked behind. I’ve tried Sanctum Scramble for 3 days now, 127 attempts (i indeed counted!) to get the stupid silver reward, no chance. Yes i have looked up guides and vids, still i just cant get it. Other adventures i have not yet even tried to look up, cause of this frustrating experience. If i want to play a jump n run game iwouldnt play GW, the stupid jumping puzzles are already enough. Thumbs down for this content ( and that so much that the thumbs are already underground).

Well we agree that we disagree. That’s it. A view of experience is unique, i shared mine, as i was thinking about it a while and to get it of my chest. That there will be people to disagree is always sure as the sun rises. Hence i was saying i would have preferred to send it somewho directly. Anyhow, i know im not alone with my thoughts, only one of the few who dared to share it, cause it was shown that you cant voice your experience without beind derailed or flamed. Haters gonna hate, flamers gonna flame, likers gonna like. Business as usual. Where you all fit in, is obviously your choice by acting.

@Andraus.3874 Still thats not dramatic, its an experience and was aimed at Tangled Depths, and for the one percent that was working i only heard it from others or actually saw the end sequence in a mini video. Nontheless, you were being sarcastic, which is nothing else as a form of flaming too.
You made your comment, please now move on.

I dont see this post as being dramatic, it is a statement of my experience, but thank you for just proving my point reagarding that some people have to flame @Andraus.3874.

Would have liked to send this somehow directly to a feedback person…but couldnt really find some.

As the Topic says im with GW2 since prestart. Im playing very regular and often. Over those years i enjoyed it quiet a lot as my 15 chars would let it assume. I tried everything in the beginning and as it is, i dont like Dungeons and Fractals much, and WvW or PvP i dislike with a passion ( this is still a harmless expression ). Im someone who likes to play WITH people instead AGAINST people.
And i’m sure lot of people will flame me for what i have to get of my chest. But i know also there are people who think the same.
So during all the time playing i’ve been watching world chat and map chat a lot. My experience is that lately the community got very toxic, especially during meta events, but not only. So if that happens im usually turn off chat or say something to help. Often enough i get flamed just because i try to help. Or offer a solution.
Nonetheless it really is happening now that i refuse to do so, as it’s not rewarding or leading to something.
Also the Frustration Level with this game increased a lot for me. I was looking forward to the expansion, being a player of GW2 and for the most liking it a lot. So after release of HoT i was really into it to see what, where when and how. Soon enough i got to the point where i thought, why did they do that? It is not fun nor rewarding, it is annyoing and blocking the experience of a good game. I am speaking here of the the fact that a lot is locked behind the success of certain activities. For example mastery points for those so called adventures, just terrible. No fun and most annyoing. If i wanted to play a jump and run game, i would play something else but not GW2.
At a point where i want to level masteries, im blocked because i cant get the necessary points. As mentioned they are locked behind those activities and other options that are way to extreme of unplayable ( again here the adventures, or the achievements of the story, really some of them are way to difficult).
One of the biggest disapppointment is the precursor crafting, as someone who never had the luck in all the time to find a precursor, i was looking forward to the crafting. And got screwed over big times.
You know, forcing someone to play a certain playstyle to get the needed materials to craft the precursor is simply wrong, most wrong. Why do i need to play PVP or WVW, for getting this? Why were you not so considerate to actually put in the options for PVPers to get the stuff their way and PVEer their own way. To connect this was always wrong and inconsiderate, not customer friendly. I mean it is possible, just look at the fossilized insects for amnrite weapons, PVEers do the events, PVPers the reward track.
That’s how it should have been. I’m less annoyed by the fact that the pre crafting takes a long time and a lot of money that is needed over time. Never had it anyway. But i would have been able to get it over the time.
Same locking problem goes also for some collections. You need this event to get that item. Great….event hardly shows up or in case of Meta, failes 99% of the time ( yes thats a sidekick to the dreaded Tangled Depths map). This map must be the most disliked/hated one ever. Just today i read a conversation between people. Example: TD is a good map, if you dont enter it… Anymore questions? I have not seen this Meta being successful once single time…and i dont know how often i participated…im actually tired of it currently.
On the other hand my favorite map is Auric Basin, this is the most beautiful one. I like the story around the exalted and hope there will be more in the future.

Fazit: for someone who enjoyed the game a long time, im tending more and more towards ‘meh, no thank you’…. i hope and wish for better times again. I want the joy back.

PS: Oh and for the love of life, get a new RNG, this is just hilarious….ppl who are with the game from the beginning get hardly anyhting and new accounts getting everything thrown after…

So now i have the most of my chest. Please refrain starting a flamewar.
Also would like to talk to some player who think the same, to see what everyone is about to do and go on. PM me? ^^

I totally agree, the Meta Event in TD needs a serious workover. I have not seeing it being successful one time sadly. Compared to the other Metas it is really a very frustrating thing to do. Also i think that at some locations the numbers of mobs is a bit to high. You hardly have sometimes the chance to check where you are to not get lost, but then you are overrun by mobs if you even dare to open the map. From what i see, hear, and read TD is the most unliked Map of HoT. Sad that is.

What me actually ticks off most, is the stupid requirments for precursor crafting. In my opinion, by all means, i shouldnt be forced to cope with stupid annoying pvp to get materials i need to craft something. PvP is and should have been seperated from that, same way as it was removed from world completion. The Precursor hunt should have been completely and alone a Tyria World experience. It is already bad enough to deal with fractals and dungeons to get certain stuff, but also pvp? Sorry, biggest fail ever.

Hello! I’m looking for a guild EU, if possible on Gandara, cause that’s my home server. I am looking for a Guild where Members are respected and where Members can play their style and not being forced to use or play as others dictate. If that Guild is also LGBT friendly that would be a plus. PvE is my Main Thing in GW, but not so much Dungeons, Fractals and what i absolutely dont like is PvP and WvW. Tho occassionally i probably need to do certain stuff as HoT might rewuire it. For that i would need Guild Mates that would not hesitate to group up with me for Fractals or Dungeons. My Main Characters are an Elementalist and a Ranger, tho im striving to have every class with every race.
I would consider myself as a casual player. Thank you for the time reading this!

I had already a while ago the thought, that it would be funny if there is a group of ‘heroes’ that you can run into randomly everywhere, they being in trouble and you helping them (so like some new random events). This herogroup would be more funny characters, like a quaggan, a skrit, a hylek, a kodan and a tengu. All of them being inspired by the former hero groups of Destiny Edge and Braham & Co. They try to be heroes and struggle a lot. I could imagine that as a lot of fun to run into. Just an idea, but i like it.

Hello. Im sure im not the only one observing some problems like increased Disconnects and lag issues since the September Patch. Since a few weeks i experience more disconnects as in a whole half year or longer before. It happens nearly daily that i disconnect, especially during Worldboss events and once in a while also just during exploring the world maps. I understand that is no specific bug probanly (and no there are no issues with my provider, pc or firewall, anti vir etc. ), but still since it starts to be really decreasing the fun of playing, i felt i should word my concerns, which im usually not doing at all. But it reached a new level of frustration since i lost a valuable item due to a crash. My wish is, that the technic team really looks into those instability issues (i beleive they do anyway already), to bring back the fun of playing somewhat more again. Thank you.

Yes, of course Im one of few who sorta read Update Notes you know ^^
Edit: I had a lot of refund colors, around 270, thats why i found out that i had to unlock again colors i actually had before, this is why i stumbled over this.

I wonder if me and my friends are actually the only ones who recognised that the account wide dye unlocking was not working 100% correctly. We found ourselves in the situation that we all of the sudden had to unlock colores again which we had before. For example a totally common Dye i had for sure was shown as not unlocked. And this was happening through all color rarities. Personally i think this was not the best outcome of the Update. Checking colors actually showed me that i still have some now locked again which were unlocked before. As much as i like Account wide Dyes, but loosing some for this is not nice either.

Nice name: Luciendar Elorien – i give it a 9/10. Its not a 10 cause the name sounds more elven as human smile But definately has a good sounding.

My Mainchar is a male human elementalist called Luac Agwayen.
I made this name up as i started playing GW1, so its already a long existing name, also a good thing is that i made this one up on my own and can use it pretty much in every game as nobody has taken it at all. At first i wanted to call my char Luke as im a huge Star Wars Fan, but it was an often exisiting name, so i played around and came up with Luac.
My second human char is a male Guardian called Lathandor Agwayol.
They are cousins thats why the names are somewhat related. Lathandor is a made up version of the name Lathander, a sunrise god of the forgotten realms (a P&P RPG).

Time to post a picture of my Elementalist, this armor combination is the only one i really like. Couldnt find any other to my liking since release of the game. It fits perfectly the theme of Phoenix and Fire (Flames).

Hello there,
i have some suggestions as wel, tho i dont know if they got posed before. 21 sites full of posts is a bit much to check on my own, so nontheless here my suggestions:

1. Please implement a Warningmessage into the Ingame Mail System that warns you if you are about to send a mail and forgot to put in a recipient, it happend to me as i was sending out some mails and hte lat one i accidnetly forgot to do that, sadly that mail contained some serious material attachment that simply just got lost in the void and regarding to the support no way to recover. This would help to avoid lot of frustration on many sides actually.

2. Please find a way to implement a system that actually records what you had in your inventory, both bank and character, it happened to me that during the progress of puttting a rare color into the bank, that i crashed and the item was gone for good, not in inventory or bank it was. Granted a color is not that bad to loose, but the same recently happened to a freind of me who lost a named weapon that was needed to create a legendary and that is more as frustating, as those items are extremely rare. We both play since beta and i havent found one at all.

3. World Map Completion – Remove the PVP Areas from that, it is overly frustrating that i have to go there and have no chance at all to complete there and as a PVE player only i find this a hassle and big frustration. There should be a nother solution to that.

Thank you for reading this and i hope the game will more improve.
