Guild Wars 2

Thanks for answer. I took a long break because there was not much left to do for me in the game. The wait is too long, unfortunately.
The brilliant first two years of the game, slowly, begin to fade away from my memory. Such a pity.

Where are the rest of second generation legendary weapons? (stupid forum, title too long…)
I hope they release them before PoF. Otherwise no PoF for me. 30 GB saved.

Queen Jennah. I have more than 40.

…
No one seems to want to have fun anymore…. .

Not really true. Some save the fun for the end.
He who laughs last, laughs best.

This thread.
I had forgotten about this skritt casino .
I was wondering what to do with all gold and ectos hoarded for Legendary.
I gambled. I lost all. No need for another Legendary, MO was right. Silly me.
I had fun but now I’m free.
Farewell.

FrostSpectre.4198:

Is the open world PvE also updated to make use of these changes, as in monsters would use spammable boons more often …. ?

Somehow. yes. However, monsters don’t spam boons but conditions and CC…

Broken Memory.1436:

Sadly I’m not gonna read 50 pages of threading to see 2-3 constructive feedback and 49 Pages of whining. I did read the first 10 or so pages and got tired of seeing everyone whine. I then started only looking at what Mo had to say and then moved on to the later opinions people had. Still the majority is whining which in my opinion is really sad for such a big community game.

Well , in many cases, history tends to repeat itself. Complaints or praises , all these posts are here for posterity. Because those with a short memory will come to grief. Bad.

Gaile Gray.6029:

I have confidence that the team will be looking at the benefits as well as the “cost” in time and resources in relation to this situation…

Today is the best day to reinforce what was said above.

Behellagh.1468:

People who think SAB returning is because of the legendary announcement then you’re crazy. Players have been asking for it’s return. Players have complained that they sold us a infinite continue coin on the TP and then SAB vanished for nearly two years.

This has been in the motion for months now and April 1st is the logical release date for it, that’s all.

Naix.8156:

How many legendary weapons you got now skipper?

10+1 legendary weapons. 13 complete ascended armor sets, 40+ ascended weapons.
A small guild without guild hall to invest in, legendary armor locked behind raids.
Nothing left to do, except to buy buckets.

Not everyone leaves. I won’t leave the game. I will indefinitely suspend my activity. Economic activity, since I cannot find any use for gold and materials hoarded. I’ll stay around till the end, to kill the lights and collect fanboi tears.

Monetizing your disappointments does not help to improve the game.

Vayne.8563:

… Because false advertising almost always requires you to prove intent to deceive. If situations change and something can’t get delivered, that isn’t considered false advertising in any country I know of.

I do not realize what can be worse: to be labeled as deceiver to or be labeled as incompetent.

I think, the April 1st joke team has been reassigned to next Living World content as well, it makes sense , huh?

Statement: Work on new legendary weapons indefinitely suspended.
Well , one reason less to visit HoT maps, I said. Then I wondered myself, and I think I’m not the only one, what to do with all the materials I have collected over time. Well, there is something to craft.

Maybe not the place to ask this, but is the legendary backpack for fractals still on the table?

pachex.9723:

Have to ask Mike, but…does this also apply to legendary armor?

We’ll deliver both. This is about legendary weapons.

Mo

I asked about legendary armor, if acquisition will remain raid bound. No answer yet.
Now, it would be completely wrong to think that one reason for suspending legendary weapons could be channeling player’s efforts towards legendary armor, ie to persuade people to do raids?
… conspiracy theory, I know. I understand.

LucianDK.8615:

playable content is more important, legendaries is just fluff for the tiny 1%, they have to think of the masses.

REplayable content is the MOST important. This kind of content keeps people in the game.
After repeating the same things ten times, hundred times, boredom arises , inevitably. Supersaturation is easier to bear when is assigned to an end, a teddy bear, a trumpet, a donut aka long term goals. These long term goals, also consume, besides time, a lot of materials and gold, so they are beneficial to the game’s economy. Gold sinks are less harmful to the fun factor than low rewards .
Believe me, there are still people in this world who, when they start something, they will also successfully complete that thing. And they are more than 1%.

Thank you for your willingness to share with us your plans.
This, together with the first AMA should revive the link between developers and players, the bond that was lost somewhere, along the way. I’m really sorry for negative reactions, most is due, I believe, this lack of communication. My opinion is, you better deliver an unpleasant truth than to create unrealistic expectations.

This is a phrase from the AMA summary:
“We designed the rewards for raids around the acquisition of Legendary Armor and have no alternate plans for getting them.”
I understand that the Legendary armor is and will be for the raiders only. Please allow me one single and simple question: It’s your last word about it?
Whatever the answer, thank you for the 3 and a half years that I spent playing GW2

Those two are pvp players waiting for balance. Across Tyria you’ll find wvw players waiting for… nevermind, too late.

Maybe you want to ask if manufacturing the precursor, Dawn, is blocked by certain events. If you choose to buy the precursor, crafting the legendary Sunrise it’s not impeded by anything. You may edit the topic title.

Just go to EoTM. Follow the zerg, assault a structure. Rush to the lord. Tag the lord, get the spoon. Get out of there.

Do PayPal play GW2?

Blockhead Magee.3092:

Choices have consequences.
Maybe someday they’ll just hand things out for just showing up……

If “they” means Anet , they did it long time ago. They handed out badges of honor to anyone , without the need to put a step in WvW. They removed WvW from map completion, too. WwW players still had to complete dungeons for legendary weapons. Now the situation was reversed. Do WvW players have the right to request an alternative path to obtain legendary armor that excludes raids? It is fair to apply double standards?
Above all, do not lie to yourself.
And yes, choices have consequences.

Why did you quote me? Did you feel targeted, somehow? It was not my intention.
Generally speaking. Some people feel sick about other people’s opinions. Some people feel sick about other people’s attitude. I admit, sometimes I find myself in the second category.

“We’ve always said that Guild Wars should be about having fun rather than preparing to have fun, and this will be a back-to-our-roots kind of update.”
- Mike O’Brien
Is this outdated too?
I’m sick of people who are sick of other people asking something that they do not agree with. Forum pitbulls. You’re not in charge, mind your own business . Live and let others live.
I am with you, OP. Sorry for feeding the troll.

It depends on the level love/hate at the time. Unfortunately , the game is getting older , the the level of interest degrade naturally, sometimes accelerated by personal disappointments. New content may only partially complete what was lost and is still competing with new games appearing on the market.
Maybe , instead of an expansion , it would be better to lay the foundation for a sequel.
A GW3 to be based on a new and solid story with strong and well defined characters , a new graphics engine , a new network architecture that can support heavy traffic during grand battles, opponents with AI (at least bosses), a new combat system, more fluid and intuitive and less RNG based, a new structure of skills and traits to allow an easy interprofessional balance and an easy adaptation to any environment.
But the most important thing that every company must take into account is that their audience is changing , becoming more hurried and superficial , there are more and more temptations out there and most precious resource of every individual is personal time. Therefore, don’t mess with your player’s spare time.

narwhalsbend.7059:

I would say that there will never be mounts in GW2, but Anet added raids, so any dumb unwanted addition is possible.

You’re right, looking at the present status of the game, mounts may even be a solution to retain some players.

ChoChoBo.6503:

Noxious Pods are suppose to be the reward system after completing the meta isn’kitten

No. The reward for meta is to see the pods, not to open them.

ferdi.1452:

Baseball caps and aviator sunglasse in a fantasy MMO …
Never understood this.

You’re right about the caps. I haven’t see any baseball game in GW2. These should be replaced with Crab toss caps or Keg brawl caps.
Regarding aviator sunglasses, any player who mastered gliding has earned the right to wear them. So, no HoT, no glasses.

Lord of Rings.5371:

Just saw another game call itself GW2 on its cover, “Garden Warfare 2”.

Where are the lawyers?

Wow! Look at your name! The owner of 5371 will be very upset.

gavyne.6847:

I don’t believe the raid team consist of only 5 Anet employees. …..
You know why they mentioned 5 devs used to create raids?

They had only 5 badges for the raid team. The remaining 295 devs are working undercover.

EphemeralWallaby.7643:

One of the primary functions of MMOs is socializing and building community through game play. Raids are one of many ways that promote this. So, they are healthy for MMOs.

QED

~EW

Sure. Raids are good. Some people are bad. They refuse to ping their insights!

Highness.9061:

Yes , the maps are empty and its very difficult to solo events . i mean on my warrior its not that bad but when i change to mesmer omg its like playing on hard mode . So when i started HOT it was fun at first getting the glider and all then BOOM i kept dying and dying and dying to the mobs . then i realised even with my legendary weapon and full ascended gear its pointless . HoT is against solo players , it was made that way .

i mean in other games when they add new content and more powerful mobs and events they raise the level cap ? here im still lvl 80 fighting lvl 83 mobs who 3 shot me .

It’s doable , but it’s annoying , please ANET do something about this . i log in the game to have fun not to be frustrated .

Sorry, fat chance. Group (read zerg) content. Learn to… skip. Skipping is an art. Skipping is life. Skipping is saving time. Skipping is fun. A lot of fun. Catch me if you can, you pesky hyena!

Ok. Good. Let’s say this: I am tired, disillusioned and bored. I am realistic and understanding, I appreciate human effort. I do not ask for new content every week, nor new maps, no harder nor easier, no loot, no mounts, no capes, no bunny ears. I accept what we are given, as some wise saying of the forum, ie long term goals.
I need long term goals, playing as I want. I’m not asking for charity. Otherwise
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here.

Andraus.3874:

…..rune issue….

Sorry, there is no such thing. You don’t need the change runes as long as you don’t switch the role. Like DPS to Condi. Besides Strength and Perplexity, the other runes are cheap or not so performant. I have already a spare ascended armor set with condi stats. But, you know, in wvw, you may face different encounters: you’re roaming, need burst, you may equip Assassin, you’re in the zerg frontline, you may need Soldier or whatever. You don’t have to change runes.
But do you know which is the main, the largest, the only reason why you need to change your stats?
It is the eternal mess created by the so called “balance”.

Avarice.2791:

You transmuted a legendary? You are nuts.

No, I’m not. I transmuted Quip back to (former) Chaos Gun Ilya/Lyssa because my human female mesmer refused to equip it. And I’m afraid of my mesmer.

Avarice.2791:

Here’s my opinion. Legendary armor should not be gathered through sPvP. Why? Because armor plays no role in sPvP with the exception of transmog.

You may not know that PvP gear is like work clothes. Maybe your opinion will not be pleasing the dedicated sPvP players, who, I’m sure, like shiny stuff too. But, because eSports, the legendary skin will show up sometime in the PvP Reward Track, maybe.

Avarice.2791:

It wouldn’t make sense to offer something as prestigious as legendary armor through WvW either. Why? It is literally the most mindless content unless you are commanding.

Thank you for trashing the WvW game mode and his community. You do not seem to have much knowledge about strategy, tactics, camaraderie, loyalty, self-sacrifice, wasting gold on upgrades, dedication, server pride and how it is to spend an entire night scouting Wildcreek Run and having fun. I think here you share the same opinion with some of Anet decision makers.

Avarice.2791:

You are essentially quitting due to transmog.

I’m not quitting yet. And I didn’t played WoW. I am genuinely concerned about the “Play as you want” statement.
I will illustrate the current status through a joke. Disclaimer: All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
Person A to Person B.
A: Your’e worthless, no need to keep my word and I don’t care about your opinion.
B: I beg your pardon?
A: Your’e worthless, no need to keep my word and I don’t care about your opinion.
B: Are you sure?
A: Your’e worthless, no need to keep my word and I don’t care about your opinion.
B: ………………….is leaving.

Now I’m just asking: Are you sure?

This is a phrase from the AMA summary made by Dulfy:
“We designed the rewards for raids around the acquisition of Legendary Armor and have no alternate plans for getting them.”
If that statement is true, I see a great injustice.
To be clear. I am not against excellence to be rewarded. I am not against performance to be rewarded. I am not against dedication to be rewarded.
They fail to understand that a legendary piece has two main components: The “prestige” offered by the legendary skin, and functionality, the ability to change stats which is a QOL feature. I don’t care about skins, I transmuted some of my legendary weapons because I didn’t like them, but I appreciate the versatility.
Now, playing fractals you can get a single legendary piece, the backpack, playing open world, you can acquire and equip one or two legendary weapons, the rest of six, SIX!, pieces of armor you can obtain only playing raids? Really? Your beloved hardcore content? What about sPvP and WvW players? They do not deserve your attention?
How about that: 2 armor pieces playing raids, 2 armor pieces playing sPvP, 2 armor pieces playing WvW? More honest decision.
Not the worst player here, I can handle almost any situation, but the raid got such a bad name so I find it sick to get closer.
In short, give the skins and titles to entitled ones, make sure everyone can access the functionality.
This is the true “Play as you want”.
I hope that was a misinterpretation. If not, I’m out for good.
In before “may I have you stuff?”. My stuff is soulbound. I put a lot of soul in it and i don’t trade my soul. But I can offer my gems buying plan.

Devs (of Outside), nerf The Police [GUNS] please. [ARMY] and [SecretKitten] too. Buff [EDU] instead. And preserve rainforest and ozone layer (less grind, please).

Trash mobs are not content, in open world. They have their place in dungeons and other instances, where, by design, players should not be allowed to skip them. But, in the open world, it should not be so much aggression and violence. Except in high level areas. And there is sometimes exaggerated.
Being all the way in combat is a kitten pain. Waste of time. It destroys all the mood.
If trash mobs are content and you fill the true content with them, the true content become trash.

Mishoo.5918:

One thing that has been proven to be broken / unfair is limiting the number of those receiving credit for the kill . If you’re not among the first ( around 50 they say ), you receive nothing, no matter how much damage you do. If you do not believe this, try any champion spawned during a world event, for example Modniir Ulgoth.

Thats because you probably didnt do enough damage to get credit in that case, thats why people join groups and squads.

Wrong answer. With my ele, I tag the champ among the first players, I drop Lava font, 2-3 fireballs then step away and get credit. Next one, I wait until the champ HP reach 75% and all other players tagged it, i drop 5 Meteor showers and receive nothing. I invite anyone to try.

Pixello.3267:

…wouldn’t it be cool if we could invade other servers in their pve zones?

Invading what? You have not received the memo about megaserver? Your are outdated.

FogLeg.9354:

If you get rid of everything your probably end up in most battles thinking “I am taking damage but I have no idea why” and “I am dead but I don’t know who killed me”.

Relax, this is this is already a fact.

Only if they come bundled with a tutu and pink butterfly wings/glider.
On second thought, no.
Only if they come bundled with with a visible mouse cursor.
Thinking even better, no.
It is too late.

KestrelGirl.9267:

Contact support; that is obviously a bug.

It’s not a bug. It’s a feature. A PvP feature. Which don’t belong to open world. Even so, it should not take more than 3 seconds, if you do not deal or receive damage.
Broken mechanics breaking the game.

Noa.7490:

Years ago there was a company named Valve, and they made games. Now they just make money. Has Anet caught the same virus?

No. Valve made one of the best games ever. Top 10 at least. It’s not the same virus.
