Guild Wars 2

He’s a weakling without any perks that a true leader should have. Simply, he’s not likeable. Great, that there’s folk around who find him awesome, sadly 80% from community doesn’t. His voice acting, his character, everything, is bland and horrible. Writing team really messed up this one, and we all know it’s true. He’s like a cheesy character from disney cartoons, except even disney knows how to write better stories. Yes, this is a MMO but it’s also RPG to some extent. In RPG the story should evolve around the player who’s controlling the character, the story should not be about a NPC plant-man, who is utterly disgusting personality etc. People also dislike Logan, because he’s Useless. He has been written as heroic champion, but he simply cannot even fight against criminal gang without your help. He always runs away or avoids battles and makes you to be in charge, but still, he’s a hero and your character is his sidekick. Same with Trahearne, absolutely annoying. I would gladly have followed Tybalt in battle against Zaithan, but not this plant-man.

I don’t miss “LFG MONKS” hulabaloo at all.

I’m with OP.. I also agree with people who wish PvE and PvP to be somehow separeted so one wouldn’t screw the other.

And why there even has to be “the screwed 3” ?That’s a major design flaw from Anet if there’s 3 professions in the game that can’t match up neither in PvE or PvP.

I don’t know if some of you remember nerfs from the original GW, but PvE -vise they killed whole lot of professions.. I recall eles and assassins being totally useless in PvE after the nerfs. Is that what’s gonna happen with GW2 too?

But uh, oh, they instantly kill off one of the few likable characters in the story. And normally that wouldn’t be so bad, if there were other likable characters left. But there are none… not even the player’s character!

Agreed with everything you posted. Player’s character is like a wooden plank with a smiley face on the other side and sad face on the other. Then we have this dilemma with the Anet writing team. It’s obvi they have lost their touch after prophecies.. I mean, losing our leader Rurik made our characters to be the leaders and guiding people of Ascalon to Kryta.. Then players had tot defeat White Mantle and finally beat Lich all by ourselves. We got some guidance though, but did Glint jump in to the final battle and steal all our glory? Nope.

In Factions ,on the other hand, we had to face Mhenlo’s and Togo’s bromance. Player became irrelevant, more like an errand boy for Mhenlo. But it wasn’t that bad.. Yet..
Since I already represented my despise towards Kormir, I won’t do it again. But I will say that writing team has no imagination whatsoever. The backstory of GW2 may be great, I don’t know. Haven’t read the books. But I don’t care about it. When I play the game I see Destiny’s Edge as bunch of whining girls (espec. Logan) who accomplish nothing. And Trahearne as the most annoying character in history of video games.. Like reborn Kormir but ten times worse. And they get all the glory.

Yes.. I totally agree with this thread. I know this ain’t real rpg, but still I find it quite annoying that my all characters have to be holy and pure. I made a “street rat thief” because I wanted her to be malicious criminal who had a hard life. Instead my character helped that fool Logan to catch other criminals.. BLEH… :P Or if you make a char.. Like a charr would act like that. Taking orders from humans and sylvari.. But I don’t play this game for it’s story. There are lots of games to play because of their amazing storylines. This ain’t like that.

I finished Claw island not too long ago for the first time.. So I lost Tybalt, yea, it was touching scene and one of the most best written moments so far..

So I’m fine with it, ofc I miss Tybalt.. But then I met this “treesus” I’ve heard so much about.. And I realized that all the talk I’ve heard about him.. It’s true. I have to agree. He’s horrible. His voice is horrible. The whole character is horrible.
Man I Hated Kormir. I really did. She just tagged alone blind after doing nothing and then she just Jumped into the vortex and.. Kormir became eternal hero, a Goddess! No glory for the player whatsoever! YEY! But this has been Anet’s style with every GW.. I don’t get it.

I don’t know how can I go on with Treesus anymore. Why player can’t be the leader/commander? Seriosly. Trahearne could be just a advisor and scholar in the background. It’s not like he’s doing anything useful anyway, so why he has the be The hero? If he’s so obsessed with Orr he should have died at Claw Island but no. He did absolutely nothing and rescued his own kitten And I had to listen to his annoying voice all the time.

They have to write him out in the future and give players the glory we deserve in Our Personal Stories.

Basically I lost almost all my silver somehow. I’d like to know is this my own fault or is this somekind of a bug or hacker? Yesterday I was on my thief and I had closer to 90 silver. I’ve been doing zones and dailies and got some money from selling stuff via Trading post.
I haven’t bought anything from Black lion for long time and I’ve used teleports quite rarely. Teleports ,on the zone where I currently am, cost me about 16-30 copper, so my money couldn’t have gone because of them. I’d like to know why, I know this is really small amount of money but I’m new to the game so every silver I make I’d like to save for future.. And since I’m not max level or doing dungeons yet I really don’t have that much money in my hands.
So.. Any ideas? Could this be my own fault or..?
(my other characters seem to still have their money.. for now..)

I could seriously buy gems if they added more styles and colors

^ Anytime Risky ^^

And people say that d/d’s are OP.
Well, nothing against warriors.. But this “only wars or guards + 1 mesmer :experienced” thing is not really welcoming to the new players. Best thing is to try to find own group like people said..

Name: Mio
Main Character: Space Giant Eye (mesmer)
Current Server: Tarnished Coast
Interested Activities: Social,PvE, dungeons, WvW and maybe sometime in the future sPvP.
Active: Almost every day
Additional Comments: So I played GW1 for 6 years but I’m still quite fresh to GW2 ^^. I’m a first timer in basically everything and I’d love to find nice people to play with (especially dungeons – speed clearers terrify me :D). Currently I’m getting just to know my professions to master them, so no max char level yet. Some leveling buddies would be nice and maybe to find some active, nice, PvE oriented +18 guild?. Hope to see some of you in the game. ^^

I have to somehow agree. I was so eager at the pre-launch, waiting to get the names I want for my characters. Well I was unable to get into the game and when the official launch had been around 10-15 minutes and I finally logged in all the names I wanted were taken. It was quite odd, because some of them are really weird and unique. When I had to discover new names I tried everything. I tried ancient persian names, mongolian names,avestan names etc. and all were taken, so it was not like I was trying to get celebrity names. Bad luck I guess

I don’t want them to do the same what they did to eles in GW1, they became so underpowered and basically killed even obsidian flesh tanks and after that ele’s were only good at healing.. (and everyone knows the story of perma SF sins)
Maybe ele is said to be overpowered because other classes seem underpowered on those aspects where D/D’s are great. In GW1 mesmers had interruption skills and they were able to take down unskilled eles fairly easily. Necros had curse builds and so on. I don’t think the problem is the ele, it’s the other professions.. they need some buff.. (especialIy engi and necro) just a thought.

Ivienn.6354:

I have question for all of you unhappy people:

If you have so many friends you want to play with in EU and NA why didn’t you all make accounts in same server when you started playing since time zones are no problem for you?

Or why don’t you all transfer to one server now while it’s still free? Guild influence is not that hard to get.

Don’t blame ArenaNet for your bad planning of your gameplay. They are doing best they can and maybe one day we will have NA/EU guesting, but till then be happy they are trying. No game is perfect and no matter how great professionals one company has it’s impossible to have everything right away.

This is a great game and time it takes to fix stuff and bring new one is shortest possible. Instead of complaining about everything, be more thankful, because if they didn’t try you would have got no game to play today.

I won’t change my home world from NA server to EU just because I have few friends who bought the game not too long time ago and they chose to play on Euroserver because of their ex-wow guild. They also have other friends on that server so I don’t believe they want to change server just because of me. And I definitely won’t change, I’m on tarnished coast for life!

There’s no other profession I loved more than ritualist.. I really really want them to bring it back.. I know it may not happen, but.. Well I guess I have to go back to GW1 if I want to play my rit..

I really don’t have problem with the upcoming transfer fee I can stay in one server for the rest of my life, no problem with that. But personally I see no point in guesting without being able to visit my friends in europe servers.

I have no need whatsoever to transfer between NA servers, but I would have liked to guest my friend on european server..

This is definitely a big (aesthetic) problem. With proper weapon placement they could fix the scaling easily.. Currently a mace looks like a baby rattle / lollipop.

•LARGOS. I really like how they look..

This is what I’ve been thinking too. Out of my 6 characters, 3 are human, 2 are norn and 1 is asura. I guess it’s about making your character aesthetical as possible and like others said we are naturally drawn to human characters because we are humans ourself. It’s just about preferance and personality, my female friend has one girl character (norn) and rest are male, and her main is charr.

At first I was so bored with my ranger, but I was intended to continue playing with it since in GW1 I had also a ranger and I love that class. Immediately when I discovered new weapons besides SB or LB whole class turned out to be so fun and interesting. I’d say it’s one of my favourite professions in PvE. Each to it’s own.

I definitely hope to see ritualist and dervish somewhere in the future. And some new classes would be great also like the chronomancer they designed to the GW utopia

I’m female and I have nothing against revealing armor. I actually want to make my female characters show some skin. Imo armors in GW2 are very tasteful compared to some other games in the market.

I don’t miss the healer role at all and I played a monk in GW1. This is a lot better system, period.

They’re small, cute and unique. I like their ideology, cities, golems etc.

I don’t have any max level characters yet.. But I wanted to add my own opinion about engineer, of course it’s fully subjective..
So I had my share of engineer. I leveled it up to over 20 and I didn’t think of anything special about it, it was ok to play. But in some point it hit me – I could beat up anything couple levels higher easily with my mesmer, but with engineer I was struggling all the time.. It didn’t seem any fun and I realized that there was something wrong with me or with the profession. The damage wasn’t sufficient enough, the kits were disappointing and healing was lousy.
So I thought engineer was too weak for my playstyle.. I deleted it and made a warrior instead, and never regretted doing so. And after reading this thread I’m even more happier that I deleted it. Engineer was not for me, but maybe it works for others. Personally, I want something different.

Oh boy I really do miss some things..
•Ritualist ~ this times 10. My favourite GW profession ever!
•Dervish ~ There’s obviously room for one amazing melee
•UW/FOW
•Great variety of elite skills and how to capture them
•Hard mode
•Boss weapon drops

I miss ritualist so much
