You don’t need gear to play jumping puzzles ergo why should there be any income from doing them?
Technically you don’t need gear to play dungeons either. Just using random drops / level up rewards should be enough.
Technically there are jps that require you to get to them in open world, so technically you do need, and also, there are JPs that involve mobs. So your argument for this discussion is invalid, so then i assume you can dodge roll through the dungeon too and fight mobs with fists.
This argument is 100% valid. As a part or open world, you can get every piece of gear in the open world to proceed your journey towards jumping puzzle. What’s more JPs can also drop items for your level. You can equip yourself for open world JPs in open world with drop or karma or…. GOLD which you make by playing open world. For JPs in WvW you can equipo yourself in WvW.
There is absolutely nothing preventing your JPs enjoyment but yourself.
You don’t need gear to play jumping puzzles ergo why should there be any income from doing them?
Technically you don’t need gear to play dungeons either. Just using random drops / level up rewards should be enough.
The point is you don’t need to upgrade your in-game gear to get better in JPs while improving gear for dungeons makes runs faster/easier so it is reasonable to have rewards for content created for improved gear.
So player enjoying JPs should be able to earn real money to buy better keyboard/mouse/monitor to be better in JPs. That would be an improvement for him.
You don’t need gear to play jumping puzzles ergo why should there be any income from doing them?
I don’t get the idea why any jumping puzzle should be as rewarding as, for example, dungeon path.
This game is casual so much you don’t even have to play it. You log in and you get reward on your screen.
If anyone is mad about hot join, why not playing unranked?
It has literally none of things you are accusing hot join of.
Hotjoins are the fastest dailies for me. I want it stay.
I think if new player survives PS to this moment, VoD can’t make it any worse for him. I miss GW1 mission, especially Canthan ones.
It must look ugly so you are made to use trans charges.
I mean… What? This is beyond ridiculous. I have no words. Is HoT going to be released at the same “professional” condition like this last patch? I need to know because I preordered and it’s important to know should I ask for refund.
Delete EVERYONE. Your client will redownload few files and you will see game graphics are set to default. You won’t have to redownload whole game, don’t worry about it.

The main question is if Anet ever stated this is a bug. If not – there is no exploit. Working as intended.
you won’t get deeper into the jungle
I would not take personal story as an indicator of challenge. Casual audience is where the money comes from. Wannabe hardcores of this game are just an unintentional effect.
Responsibility for anything that is broken in game is on Anet side. Without reading the forum or watching youtube, how do you know what is bug, what is exploit and what is intended?
So with the logic of punishing ppl responsible for exploitable bugs in GW2, devs should ban themselves. I don’t mind it at all. Would be funny to read “due to excessive bugs and exploitable changes made to the game, the developement team has been banned for 3 weeks. Hotfixes will be developed after bans expire. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation”.
You know what is the best thing not to present bugs and exploits to the game? TEST IT BEFORE RELEASING. And noone is going to convince me this patch was tested.
old news, check 5 guards meta
I wouldn’t spend a minute longer in this game if there was a sub fee. It’s not worthy paying monthly fee and I doubt it ever will be.
Look! Another armor skin butchered to the outfit level.
User_folder\AppData*\Roaming\Guild Wars 2
delete what is hidden in that localisation and your client will be reverted to default options (it will also remove your saved account login info)
*this folder is hidden on default windows settings
As anet stated many times they are showing us only those things that are finished. That being said think how little is done about expansion and how long we’re going to wait for release.
That would be all about “big project” we were lied about in 2k13 and 2k14 :)
This option should have existed since the release, like it is in other MMOs. Those who want this optrion would use it, those who doesnt like it, woudlnt use it.
Whatever is their reasoning, more options is better.
You can’t prevent leeching outside of instanced content. This is how it is. 3 years and counting.
1. Guild Wars 2 is not F2P game. It’s B2P.
2. In PvE you can play whatever you want. There is no challenge in this game.
That would be like assuming that Harry Potter was definitely not going to fight Voldemort at the end of the 7th book because JK Rowling didn’t explicitly say that he would after she wrote the 6th book.
That is a bad comparison, because you are using the end of a long series of books, and are comparing it with the first small expansion of a game. Yes, this is a small scale expansion.
It doesn’t matter the scale, the fact of the matter is that somebody doesn’t reveal the end of their story in advance. The is no evidence that we are not fighting Mordremoth, especially since the current reasoning behind it is that the “author” hasn’t said we would.
Don’t like the 6th to 7th book? How about the 1st to the 2nd? It wasn’t a very long book series in the beginning. The guy I responded to used faulty logic so I called him out on it; that’s all.
/yawn
My logic is perfectly fine, you just don’t understand what you read. So please don’t talk about anything personally oriented and stay on topic.
Coming here and confirming that there’ll be mordremoth’s presence in HoT “box” is not a spoiler. Fighting him is one of the options. As I said in previous post it doesn’t have to be a fight. You can announce such things without making a spoiler.
That being said, for a 50$ expansion I expect it to have a big finale – whatever it’ll be. If they’re going to finish this expansion with lazy cliffhanger like they did with LS2, I am already prepared for refund.
I wonder how many people have thought about the future as they introduce more specialization lines, particularly elite specializations.
This is a preparatory step to the new advancement. That and masteries.
Elite specializations could have been introduced with old trait distribution system. However they decided to reinvent the wheel again. And elite specs won’t be additional lines but replacing one of core lines in the build so the only question to take elite spec will be “is it better than X”. So much diversity.
I agree with OP. For me new trait system is butchery to diversity and it’s actually not even building anymore but loading predefined skill/trait sets. You know, templates.
At this point I don’t think they are going to change anything or revoke old system. We have to accept state of things and pretend there is diversity in this game.
To the OP – a friendly advice. Don’t get emotional about this game. It’s fast road to disappointment and/or burning out. Players have no control over developement process so why should we care about changes when they are implemented. Nothing is going to change anyway.
We are right after weekend. If no red posts shows up here with at least mentioning that there will be mordremoth fight (or whatever, as we know they already created a plot twist not to fight dragons as plan B ) we can safely assume there will be no elder dragon in this expansion.
And this would be “wow” for 50$ expansion. Lol.
Look at this. I’m going AC with my lvl 80 full ascended assassin’s gear on my mesmer. Reminder: precision is the main attribute. My critical strike chance is 3%.
I would like everyone who states that downscaling after patch is working as intended, to tell how excluding whole stat from your character is a good thing? Or improvement?
I don’t mind adjusting downscaling to make low level areas more challenging. Well, dungeons. Open world and challenging do not come in one sentence. However, today downscaling is evidently broken.
Good job A-net for fixing things that do work…
Personal story, traits – what’s next ?
At least 3 toons are useless and i wont change their builds because i have 2 toons from every class (engi and necro excluded) now thay are just a bloody waste of spot…
DON’T FIX THINGS THAT WORK for god’s sake.
Except that traits didn’t work. I know you think they did, but they really didn’t. You may have liked them, but when you look at the number of traits that were pretty much never used, you realize that you liking them doesn’t change the fact that it didn’t work.
SOME traits didn’t work so it would be nice not to manipulate facts.
Merging traits isn’t a bad idea. However we are discussing how builds are being created with current trait system which is limiting and unrewarding.
Why? Arguments are in my previous posts. What I see here is people are debating good things about current trait system – yes, there are some good things after patch. Yet for build creation this patch is a butchery. This is what this thread is about so pleas stay on topic. If you can.

Funny thing is we knew we were gonna get most of these things 4 months ago… and didn’t see nearly enough outrage back then.
On the contrary. I was almost certain long time ago this trait system is just gonna be precoded builds. When you want to go dps, condi or tank/support you don’t really have much choices. Whole trait lines are focused on certain things. No more build diversity. You do not create builds now, you load predefined specs and you play around them. This means you won’t be creating builds around content to look for most optimal/easiest/in_the_middle way to complete the content. You are going to preload your trait line, choose 3 of nine least useless traits and go to succeed.
No more unique builds. With so much streamlining there are no more builds, there are only templates. And we were asking for templates, weren’t we? Sigh…
I am disappointed but I got over it long time ago. I just don’t care. There is enough people enjoying colorful trait lines that anet don’t have to care about income. This is how our civilisation is progressing – pretty pictures > usefulness.
And how exactly was the previous trait system any different?
If you wanted dps, you had no choice but to use the trait-lines that offered these +300 power or precision.
If you wanted to be tanky, you couldn’t afford not to take the ones that added +300 vitality or toughness.
The fact that stats were linked to the respective trait lines was a factor that severely limited the build diversity and it needed to be gone.
Lol I didn’t even say a thing about stats connected to trait lines. Re-read and come back later.
I never chose my trait lines because of stats connected to them but about what particular traits offered me – that being said I welcome removing stats from traitlines but it was never an issue for me.
Now stay on topic – how limiting is current trait system. My arguments are posted in my previous post. Enjoy it.

Since wooden shill doesn’t like warhorn for elementalist, I want this to become real. Blowing off people with air attunement or making a bong with water sounds perfect for this profession.
#GW2seriousbussiness
When I was a kid I was full of high hopes for the world, I was told that people are good and even. I grew up and I could experience this “quality” of a real world. It’s not even, it’s not good and definately it’s not the utopia modern societies are trying to tell themselves it is. People are cruel and only strongest can survive. Problem is pretending that taking care of lowest denominator helps. It doesn’t.
And thank you to one of the posters pointing out that all those equality talk is just a society issue. Today they are all about equality, tomorrow it’s going to be something else. So today LGBTs are friends of society, it’s nice to support them and look like people care. When generations change, there will be some new ways of making yourself popular and “progressive”.
Societies not suffering from real world problems like wars or collapsing economy are creating virtual problems and virtual solutions. To pretend there is anything important in their lives.
Just because someone is educated in one field, like the professor you mentioned, doesn’t mean he is educated in another or that he doesn’t speak the way he was taught by people most emphatically not educated in this when he was young.
And what field is that? Is there a more specific field for this then being an M.D.?
Note that I am just trying to point out, that education has little or nothing to do with the question.
That professor was also 60 years old at the time he said that. His medical training was a good 40 years before that and he was taught by people who medical training was 40 to 50 years before that. A lot has changed in the last 80 – 100 years in the understanding of human biology and the possible variations. If you are going by the one opinion of someone whose education is that far back, well, i have to tell you. There have been some updates.
Yet some of my recently educated friends believe the same (also MD and Dentist).
Educated in the fields they went to school and got a degree in doesn’t mean they are educated in everything. The fields they didn’t study, they are no better than laypeople.
What field is that?
Maybe I’ll translater what flesh wound tries to say. If you accept LGBT agenda – you are educated. If you don’t accept their agenda – you’re a barbarian. Your diploma or age is not important.
Modern world is disgusting.
About representation. I want fat women and men in this game. For every race.
Can’t agree more with OP. And be prepared for wings 2.0 cause white version was just datamined. Oh joy oh joy.
Plz make standard models display without back items and with standarised weapons.
Please.
No.
I demand this.
Frankly. If your upset at anet be upset at anet. But don’t kittening harass people. Theres no bloody excuse to the people doing this and im all for the people that are actually taking part in it getting banned. Since it very much violates the agreement we all made with the company when we bought there product and logged in.
ANYONE that attempts to justify targeted attacks against individual members is kittened in the head. We see this kitten in the real world all the time and it NEVER at any point ends well. Its stupid. Its irresponsible. And its blatantly immoral.
As others have said. If you don’t want to give them your money DON’T DO IT. Your allowed not to. But last I checked the kind of attacks that have been apparently going on are last I checked considered harassment. And there illegal. I meen seriously? Mailing peoples private game accounts just to kitten at them? How low can you get.
It would be disturbing if they treat harassing anet employee different than normal players. I reported some individuals with screen evidences harassing me in game, verbally abusing, using vulgar language and those ppl are still running in the game. I actually think it is a good lesson to some ppl from the company to learn how we feel in game when being harassed and their support is not helping us.
So if any anet employee is being harassed there is a direct advice from your own company – block and report!
(edited by Many.8419)
Sorry but no.
Yes, designers are doing amazing work. And this work was destroyed one minute because of someone making a terrible marketing move. They should blame those responsible inside their own company. They are parts of the same company and the company is blamed as a whole.I feel no pity here. This is bussiness. The company failed and company will take responsibility as a whole.
Glad you support the harassment of devs that had absolutely nothing to do with this. Shows a lot about you my friend.
I’m glad the feelings of those that have created GW2 means less to you than an extra 10 dollars.
How immature.
I’m not your friend. I do not support harassment. If this lady from OP feels being harassed how about taking advice anet always gives their players? Block and report and let their support team solve the issue. They are not children, those are grown up ppl doing their jobs. A company made a bad decision, now is the time to fix it. Emotional tweets won’t help with fixing this issue.

You can’t take seriously any anet promoted youtuber/streamer like bogotter or wooden potatoes. They can’t be trusted because they benefit from advertising this game.
PvE and WvW reward tracks would be cool. However, I don’t agree that everyone should get equal chance to get same rewards. Rewards should be specific to the content you choose to play. And if you choose not to play specific type of content I don’t see why should you be rewarded.
I like pvp tracks but I don’t understand why they chose dungeon rewards specificaly for those tracks.
I was kinda excited after seeing the concept art this week and after reading and watching the preview post… it’s just meh. First of all the name. It is so cliche, it doesn’t connect to the guardian in any way, like the name you think of when someone tells you “this is the game where you kill dragons, what would be the best profession?” “oh my god, a dragonhunter!” I mean… what?!
And the skills… just another boring ranger like.
So now paying for non-essential items is considered a grind? Have I read the post right?
renaming gear grind to skins is steal a grind
I will not pretend to speak for everyone, but only myself. I have no interest is going through content fast. I enjoy playing this way, and it is a much bigger challenge for me than breezing through stuff. I play for the challenge, not the stuffs, if i wanted stuff at less of a challenge, I would have enjoyed Guild Wars 1 more.
That’s very good you know what you like. I only hope that when you do this you don’t expect people that like fast runs to play your way.
My god it’s on the very same page already
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Clarity-regarding-Black-Lion-Weapons/
But I dislike players who dish out next to nothing, as mentioned the infamous bearbow, they are everywhere and I just don’t get it.
If you are going to complain about bearbow. Please tell me the dps difference between a longbow camping ranger, and a GS or sword ranger.
If you can’t even answer that question. You are just a prejudice person.
I honestly dont’ know the answer to that. Because if a bow ranger is dealing like 20% less damage while not needing to sacrifice dps for dodging and running, I dont’ think it’s so bad.
1200+ range = out of party boons, especially might restacking
For me the GW2 philosophy is “everybody is the winner” which both good and bad. More bad IMO. First of all, when everybody wins rewards mean nothing. Secondly, most important I think is that people doing open world feel like they don’t have to contribute more than bare minimum to get rewarded. In zergs they are anonymous, they can play any build, any stats, any weapons. kitten , I’ve met pugs that were ignorant enough not to care about traits. Or with empty utility slots (!).
This philosophy drives us to the point where people don’t want to learn the game because they don’t have to. And when they join a dungeon group (actually the last and only place where you can meet some challenge PvE wise) they feel entitled to the reward at the end and what’s more they don’t understand why other party members expect them to contribute. They learned that this game is a self-winning lottery with 0 effort needed.
I have no problems with those people being constantly excluded from parties. I feel being excluded from open world because I feel this content is to dumb. Why should I care about people spoiling my fun in dungeons?
I have a question about the term: maximising okay I get that, maximise damage output. But minimising? What’s that? Is it the time to complete a dungeon or what?
Minimum time, maximum reward
(edited by Many.8419)
Balance? It’s called… balance? And what about the skritt?
Why has to be everything a reflection of our sick minded real world?
Can’t all that be forgotten once and for all?
skritt is a race not a gender
I agree with OP. Except of Caithe and Faolain any other relationship, especially Kasjory, is forced and out of place for me.
I’ve already elaborated about terrible execution of story in this game in my thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/I-don-t-like-DE-2-0/page/1
I don’t find many people to agree with here. I think that while there are minorities in the world and I don’t have any need to punish them for being different, the modern world came to the point where the most persecuted are 25-35 white males for not being a representant of any minority. This is sad and GW2 is a great example of weird times we’re living now.
I cant find it explained in lore anywhere. This is just making excuses. If your idea was correct then we should have an option to craft katana skins in game. But we cant. because its gem store easy cash.
