what you doing when you don’t farm?
I made few tries and found: I hate most of dungeons + they got nerfed too.
I can’t play WvW as I dc when many people are next to me (and if I’m alone I have nothing to do).
Exploration is done, even if it was slow, grind, not fun experience to me.
Make alts? Done few, very boring.
So what else to do if not farm?
well it’s ok, still very limited choice and some grind (25 aquatic slayer).
I play some games where you have choice to do 10 dailies from like 50 to 500 possibilities (depends on game), so I don’t feel anything much innovating here.
it could be innovative if we got a list if like 50 possible dailies where we need to choose 5. a list should be perma in this case, and we gonna have a real choice this way. As choose 5/10 is not big choice, IMO
I don’t understand what people are complaining about, before you could do Maw maybe 10 times or more and you would get with luck a couple rares and maaaybe an exotic, now you can only run Maw once per character but you have a really good chance of getting a couple of rares and probably an exotic, it’s win/win for everyone…
1. before you could do Maw like 20x per day or more if you had time. Now it 5 time or go to Item Shop for extra slot.
2. good drops were more rare, but salvage was wayyyyy more successful, most of the time I’ve got 1 ecto, like every 5th salvage: 3 ectos. Now I’m getting mithril & logs, cheap upgrades and like 1 ecto per 3 salvages!
from Maw I’ve got a lot of useful not rare/exotic drops, so it was a good way to make some cash. I can prove that getting 3-4 green per 30min is even better then rare per day + I don’t loose money on failed salvage, nor on greedy TP.
plus I found it kind of fun inside game where I have nothing much to do.
Sorry to tell but once you finish to lvl up and crafting (was ok, not cooking though); finish exploration on main (fkg grind so never again), may be others enjoy it, I don’t mind; try dungeons (OMG! how they can be THAT bad), if you like it, good for you, I just hate almost all of them; WvW could be some kind of fun if I simply not dc’ed once inside mass event (it can be my comp, but still impossible to play),
you have nothing else to do as run good DE (called farming by Anet), I don’t see why I should run bad, hard, reward-less etc DE if I have choice. But no! Now it clearly tell me to run around and do also bad designed DE if I want to get fun.
I guess, no thanks!
In a world where a lot of A+++ games became free to play, value of 60$ is highly increased.
Sorry to tell, but I will just tell the truth about what you gonna get here for your money!
Now, please try to be objective and let me have my own opinion, even if you dislike it. I did my best by trying to suggest, post my impressions etc.
It’s not my job either to pay for game and try to make it better, as I guess it must be good by itself or not worth to be bought.
But I see here, sorry to call it this way, a persistent try to make this game worse by every patch.
I remember my feeling after great GW1 nerf, but I got hope good lesson was learned from what happened.
I guess I though about wrong lesson.
IMO, I guess all you care about is sell us game, not to make it fun for all, as it was promised by advertising.
Sorry to make sad post, but you killed once more, my GW gaming and I feel very bad about.
someone ever got hooked to any game because of dailies?
usual gaming progress (in phases)
1.level up, enjoy game content, enjoy discovery, enjoy end-game or any other kind of challenge.
2.after sometime: bored of all, doing dailies to be “in”.
3.after short time: leaving game.
GW2: fast lvl up, discover with grind, not found fun, found a bit of farming for something to do.
game got nerfed: only dailies left, going direct to phase 3….
usual time for gaming: 1-2 years, non-usual: 5 months….
Oh yes, nerf all or better mute all! get us all banned! play alone!!! have fun!!!!
thanks for showing me the exit. =)
I was not sure why I keep doing camps and Maw, just because I was bored I guess. Now I know: NOTHING left to do here.
30 min per day = maximum gaming time for “Best game of 2012”, “The most innovative game”!
Good luck to all who loves play alone and have hard time! Kormir told me very long ago: Never fight alone, and I trust her.
P.S. hope nobody is upset as I’m not at all, have just very slight regret for my 60$….
I started to have, with GW2 only, lag spikes + CPU overload resuming with laptop overheat.
Last like max 1 min but pretty annoying.
Don’t have such with any other game or application.
that what I did: I bought 2 items from Gem (Item) Store, but still have this hint not done.
I got hint pointing to mail box too, opened mail, got item, so hint MUST be accomplished. But it’s not.
Anyone else have same issue?
Nobody from Anet care to answer or fix?
it’s a glitch I guess, I have it with 1/6 either, sometime it show 6/6 too (still have 1 sup Divinity), nothing else shown like that.
Hi all,
I have strange issue: I got heavy bags (from Orr) in my inventory bag, but I can’t find them anymore.
Nothing else is missing, I don’t have it in bank either, I have NOT opened them (got over 130), was not sure if I gonna sell or use them.
Today I found no one, checked on TP (in case I’ve put them on sell, but found nothing either).
I’m really frustrated, and can’t use report ticked as it not concern account issue.
Please help / advise!
Thanks
Hi all,
I bought item at TP, got hint pointing to my mail box (2nd purchase) , but no hint credit for achieve.
Is achieve meant we need to charge gems with real money, then buy items or it simply bug?
I’m a bit lost, please advise.
Hint tells “Gem Store Purchase” and tells us about global mail, so nothing about gem charge, but may be it written in incorrect way?
Any help would be appreciate.
no hope for official feedback of this issue?
IMO, if you pretend to be advanced game, at least use ALL modern features. I feel like dropped back with outdated dungeon mechanic, especially external website for find party.
but it only IMO, for sure, don’t mean to offence, just share my point of view.
Good luck to all who loves stay in town and spam chat.
Limitation of guild only / friends only grouping is shame for MMO, but again, I can admit, many people love to do it this way, as it may create elite groups / anti pug access limitation etc.
to be honest, I prefer from a far games with easy grouping, only my personal taste, for sure.
all worked for me, Orr DE vets too.
Its still fun. Not everyone needs a cookie for playing an event.
yup, that absolutely right when you see 2-3 ppl doing Dome and 20-30 doing Maw.
or Maw is even more fun?=XD
all was good some hours early, now can’t log:
build: 16732
error code: 42:0:9001:4105
if I persist, I can log till character choose screen, but can’t do nothing, only button “delete” is active.
NA server-
Please help!
server: DragonBrand
I’m from Europe.
last weekend got strange issues: lag spikes, FPS drop to almost 0, my laptop started to overheat and made strange noise (please, stop torture me, shut this game down).
all others games worked fine, Skype got no issue as-well, nothing wrong with connection.
I got only GW2 opened, but still got it, always by spiked, after some time of playing.
Sorry, I’m very bad in computer tech, so can’t tell anything more particular.
Just wonder if anyone else got same issue and if it was fixed.
thanks
checked again, still bugged.
any idea when it can work again? seems this time it take way too long to restart.
thanks for letting us know.
thanks, Colin=)
hope healer work can be count as DPS for loot qualification, as I noticed more I help people to get up, less drop I have from any event. SAD
Lucky: The issue is, with skins… You can apply them to any gear.
The pets should just be “skins” for another existing pet, but they’re actually weaker stat-wise.
oh got you, thanks and sorry I have not seen from right point.
when I can see chest (looks to me like mines), it can contain any sort of stuff. Sadly, rares I got never came from these chests.
problem with lots of effects, items and other shiny stuff covering DE area (Orr), it very hard to find any drop and eat my fight time.
So rather then these chests may be anything more visible and please let it be for at least 6 min, time to finish event and look for them.
why only pets? I found armor skins, except gloves, even worse…
IMO it cost way too much compare to game prices / rewards.
If it supposed to be bought with real money, why not place it to Item Shop?
And sorry it’s not just a skin, it has stats (wonder why too) and has lvl request, which is never a case of skin only items (ex: HoM skins).
I think we don’t need these together with Orders gears, but why not have anything special.
Only question is: why so “cheap” and why so few skins?
I must be dumb, but I don’t see any Cantha or Elona at Prophecies.
If we gonna make line GW1-GW2, lets see fresh GW2 as only first campaign.
It may be the last same time, but not mean we need to put here all 3 GW1 games + expansion.
May be guys gonna release more games in a future.
noooooo
the rewards are just awful.
this!
all chests I got opened were with rewarded keys.
There is another event that happens directly after Melandru is killed that rewards the chest, you stopped too soon!
nope, if you read better, I told I cleansed area. this means 2nd event after the priest. Got credit for 2nd too (was like 2 champ + several vet and mobs), 0 drops.
all guys got chest but me….
Hi all,
not sure if it bug or intended: I killed High Priest of Melandu and cleansed area.
I got credits for both event but no chest at the end.
I’m not sure if it bug or changing of reward mechanic = don’t make meta event from the start = 0 chest?
Anyhow I feel very sad and not sure which feeling is stronger: one of injustice or feeling to be left behind….
Please advise / clarify this issue, I know we have tons of bugs now, but if it reward mechanic next change, juts let me know.
I log into the game to have fun and not to feel bad, so if it new change I better go play anything fun instate.
Thanks for reading
I saw my drop rate dropped after like November. It does not mean I don’t getting good drops, I do not so bad as since I got full MF gear (used 0 MF before), but only means that by same time I get less drops, coins etc.
Also noticed same issue about dungeons even if I did very few runs overall.
Same time I can noticed drop “waves” like in one day I can get many good drops and that would be all for sometime (varies).
I think we don’t have enough rewards to cover repair / WP costs which still the same after drop rare dropped.
I think initial design was better done but somehow changed to actual rate.
I don’t want anyone to take my post as offence and admit that some people can be disagree with my though.
I’m not mad just find new drop rate somehow insufficient. all id sure only IMO.
I would like to see my free choice of daily as some I don’t mind to do and re-do, but others annoy me.
I guess anyone here has own preferences, so give free choice of X number of stuff to do, would be greatest idea.
In worst case, I would prefer to have just DE, number of kills and gather to do (as it easy and I love easy stuff)=XD
yep, 3 people would like to do hard DE and fail, but 500k would find it annoying and quite.
looking for a hard stuff? take your 3 mates to Arah or solo it.
no offence, just general point of view, seen in many MMO, as people cry how it easy and run away when it became hard.
no way=XD
just buy gems, trade for game gold and buy exotic gear = 0 grind, all done within 5 min.
here you grind ONLY for rare skins (dungeon) as legendary you can get by system above.
sorry to resume, but it typical f2p choice: pay or grind.
in a good point, must admit that karma exotic grind is not that long.
thanks, found old info for white items, not sure if Order gear not come solo bound now.
in general, when you use white item anything became account bound, but I never mad try with solo bound item yet.
but in generally meaning I don’t understand why these items can’t be account bound initially?
welcome to beta?
sorry I don’t want laugh on problems, but seriously, why update can’t be tested before it became life?
I have all these bugs now + some one time bug (reported in game) like not getting correct DE reward or broken event; or some small issue like (NO RESULT) on sold items by trade post.
Feel very sad…
I have few Slayer achieve bugs and if it easy to kill 1 more mob, it’s not easy to restore “one time survivor”.
have several stuff missing 1 point now, may be less as I got re-credit for it (hope I don’t exploit your bug, guys, as I don’t need to do this silly stuff).
Please fix all these.
P.S. 100% map exploration should not be listed at achieve anymore or it bug too? I can’t see it at list anymore.
Fiontar,
event is not easy for lvl 11-13 as it created, if it easy for lvl 80 to do lvl 11 event, then idk what to tell you.
but may be we need more mobs to be added so it’s not die too fast & we all can get credit.
now bug came to our server too.
same as few month ago: was fine till totem event, but now NPC just got frozen instate to summon or destroy totem.
glad to see 2 other events back to this zone, but armor event not started once for me early (then got fine), and shaman kill event seems to bug Maw.
I hope it works as for each item you need to use advanced stone to transmute, would be big loss if it not work, beside loss of original gear as I don’t think I’ll transmute it to anything good (order item to white – white to epic).
Thanks for idea though, I’ll look for more info.
Beside why make complicate anything easy?
Last time I did I got impression it was corrected, or credit comes just random, I mean if you did critical you got it.
I guess for increased number of players, more mobs need to be added, so all guy can have credit.
Shamans and Guards can come one after other instate same time.
P.S. I was told this event is bugged again in many servers.
I only still have bad time to get dodge credit as it not working somehow each time for me.
If it 100% my fault, why it works 2x and not 3x?
I try to guess what I do wrong and still pretty much frustrated of doing it.
last night I got no credit even for last boss…
seems to me this event was nerfed in a meaning that you need to show way more DPS to get participation credit.
with like 50 or more guys making boss die in less then 1 min it’s just impossible.
SO please get us initial MAW back and why not add DE like that in all areas? or idea is too good?
P.S. rhetorical question: if you don’t want us farm, why not give us waaaaayyyyyy more to do + best rewards? or if we have nothing much to do as 2-3 DE + some Orr DE (high lvl only), and 2-3 dungeons, why blame us to doing them and nerf like last pleasure we still have?
I see ALL dungeon loot nerfed but seems like guys working on it, so may be soon it will be better (or worse). =XD
UW was one of the “elite” dungeons in GW1, by elite i mean hardest dungeon for that time. I wouldnt mind same thing in gw2, elite dungeon with higher reward. Some say that Arah and FOTM are elite dungeons…. tbh they are not, they are easy dungeons that dont offer any good reward for your time there. Time efford VS reward is not soo good. I agree u get tokens, but we all wanna some “unique” skins on our armors / weapons that are harder to get. Also in GW1 after u finish story mode you are offered special NPC that can craft you armor / weapon as reward for your time for finishing story, here you can get weapon only. Gw2 is NOT GW1 but some things could be nice in GW2 also that worked great in GW1.
in GW1 you got like 3-4 lvl of challenges, but each lvl grant you with cool rewards. ven if some days you got like average rewards from normal dungeons, it still better then any other form of farming (not only final chest but also mob / boss drops).
I see it’s not at all GW1 as rewards here almost not worth efforts and challenge still at same degree for all.
P.S. never tell AC is easy, just do it on lvl 35 with lvl 35 group as it was designed. Or start to blame about how easy to kill lvl 8 mob at lvl 80, even adopted for area, compare to real lvl 10 player.
I don’t think gw2lfg is bad stuff, no, it very handy and useful! shame we need to use it instate of fast and nice dungeon finder used in advanced games.
Dungeons are hard, long and very annoying for beginners and random groups.
So or we going back to selective choice of group (and will left all who can’t be the best, behind), pug avoiding. class selections and even creation of healer.
Or may them easy and fun for all like DE,; or make 2 kind of them with similar rewards but different quantity (like 2:5) easy and hard mod (for imba guys to practice); or give up this idea as so far seems nor of these groups are satisfied.
Anyhow it need to have big revamp.
P.S. while revamping, please don’t forget to add merch NPC near the entrance of all of them.
Seems to me MF simply doesn’t work or have very little influence to sacrifice other stats for it.
sure an clear answer from GM would be great!
but from my own try to MF /low MF/ non MF alts I can’t see huge difference…
I guess now you can’t take anyone to your party, but need to select classes.
We failed it as silly NPC kept to get owned and guys could not run back and help.
I found are too many OP mobs for only 5 poor guys (and we got like 3 same professions) and silly NPC.
May be it fun to play together, die all as one, resurrect when you have like 10 mobs on you,
but we just kept FAIL and get out of there.
I don’t see it as drama but I see here limitation of choice of player we gonna take for p2 next time. I see whole idea of game (no class limitation, no need healers) broken or, at least, corrupted.
Fail is never fun and I was frustrated to stand there after like 7th try and unable to find any way to save the situation. At the end out tactical decision was to choose party for skills and not take with us some classes and even same classes.
Means now we will avoid some guys who are left behind for us (like it was my para at Dunkan at GW1).
If you think it nice and this update resolved all dungeon problem. good for you.
I think, sorry to tell, it broke even more what was broken before update, or it was wrong solution.
In a good news: number of people spamming LA map chat for FotM reduced like 10x or more at my server. So be happy: most stopped doing them.
I guess if you stop to do all, game will be over…..
and backpack =D
I would just asking why town clothes and not visible skin like it used to be at Gw1?
I would prefer to have different look even outside town (seems to me town cloth is pretty useless so far, sorry to tell).
Sure would be great to have bigger number of such skins + slot to keep all skins we don’t use now.
Why we can’t buy items from different order even if we got all of them unlocked for account?
I mean I want to have skin from other orders too but I can’t buy it.
Same time I can’t change my Order and get into another after I’ve choose one.
It make my skin choice pretty limited.
I suggest to give us ability to use other Order vendors:
- when we got all 3 unlocked;
- when we finished Story line;
or:
- give us an option to change Order allegiance.
Hope not only me want this feature and it could be added to game. Thanks!
I have problem with, for example, lemons.
I need 100 to make dye and some to make food (1+), which means I have insufficient number left for next dye (99).
Problem is I need to buy bulk (25 min) and never just 1 I may need.
I know it little issue but to me it would be nice to have option to buy only 1 from same NPC.
Please add option to buy bulk and single item.
