Guild Wars 2

Stuff like this is why I’ve begun dreading patch day. It seems like Arena Net doesn’t want me to play anymore.
ANet: “Morsus, you’ve played 700 hours over the past 2 years. That’s unhealthy.”
Me: “You shouldn’t have made such an awesome game then!”
ANet: “Don’t worry, we won’t make you quit cold turkey, we’ll just make your quality of life lower until your desire to play is gone.”
Me: “Stop it! Leave me alone! I just want to waste my life behind a computer!”

Each time you put in 4 rares/exotics into the Mystic Forge your chance at a precursor doubles. When you get a precursor it resets. Problem solved.

I haven’t replayed any of the content because I don’t want to sit through all the dialog.

As someone who mains a Guardian, this will make it much harder for me to get silk. I don’t want to have to level an alt just to gear my main. Can profession loot be an option?

ANet, not more tiers of gear. Ascended is enough for me. If you insist on it, make it so there is no stat gain.

Mini’s shouldn’t be giving any stat bonuses. They are supposed to look cool and follow you around. I could get behind a mini-dueling arena where they can fight, but I don’t think they should have any affect on regular combat.

Knighthonor.4061:

This allows the Tanking role to be more effective and useful to the group.

Forgive me if I’m not all that excited for a return to the trinity system.

A level 40 scroll, a mini Marjory, and another Birthday booster. Next year it will be a level 60 scroll, a mini Taimi, and another Birthday booster. 4th birthday will be a level 80 scroll, a mini Braham, and another Birthday booster. The year after that they’ll just give us an 80 scroll, a mini Kasmeer, and another Birthday booster. 6th year will be a mini Rox, an 80 scroll, and another Birthday booster. 7th year will be a mini Canach, an 80 scroll, and a birthday booster. Then GW2 will shut down, and we’ll go over to GW3.

I think Anet should give the players the vote as to who bites the dust first. Like another Ellen Vs Evon moment.

You realize the community is still hostile over Evon vs Ellen right? Do you want to FURTHER divide the community?

Hero system from Guild Wars: Nightfall would be nice. I can see myself spending hours gearing out my Heroes.

Let’s say there are some fields that kids like to play on, and Marty wants to play Soccer (football for those of you outside the US). The sign outside the fields says that you can play whatever you want, and so Marty goes over to the kids playing baseball and says that they should all play soccer. The kids tell him that they don’t want to play soccer, they want to play baseball. There are some kids a few fields over playing soccer, but instead of going and playing with them, or finding some other kids to play soccer with, he keeps arguing with the kids who want to play baseball. “The sign says I can play what I want, and I want to play soccer!” He tells the other children, and so the other children ignore him and go back to their game of baseball. Marty tries to play soccer on the same field as the children playing baseball and runs into another child. The children kick him off of the field they’re playing on, and go back to their game. Instead of going and playing soccer with the children who are still playing soccer, he goes to the parents, and tells them how the other children are bullying him and excluding him. The parents scold their children for excluding poor Marty. Marty still isn’t satisfied, and demands that the parents make their children play soccer with him. What do you think the parents are going to do?

I should not have to be level 80 to run level 35/50 dungeons, plain and simple

But on the reverse side of that, “Play how I want” means I can play with only level 80s if I want to. You do have a right to run the dungeon, you do not have a right to every single party on the LFG.

• Crusader
• Guardian Angel
• Archangel (seriously, flying wings and no angel references?)
• Zealot
• Janissary
• Sentinel
  Heck, just Demon Hunter would be better because Dragon’s are what everyone’s hunting. Dragon Hunter is in a weird place because everyone is hunting dragons. We have built an army for hunting dragons. It really doesn’t have anything to do with the Guardian.

saventis.1485:

its a gift be grateful

In real life you include a gift receipt for a reason.

Well, Berserker builds are probably the most OP specialization in the game, so it’s nice to see the Soldiers and Knights get a chance to shine

ZudetGambeous.9573:

Sounds like a great change to me!

(disclaimer: I have all light armor classes)

Pray to whatever deity you worship you don’t ever need my Mithril for an ascended weapon… (oh who am I kidding, no one is ever going to need Mithril)

CC Danicia.1394:

Hello all,

Let’s keep this thread on-topic and respectful, please. Thank you.

I was so excited when I saw a mod replied. Then I saw it was just this

Dusty Moon.4382:

No to Legendary Armor – they said that Ascended would be it.

They also said exotics would be it once upon a time.

Kite.2510:

Cries Of Sorrow.5864:

Terrible suggestion, Berserker is fine how it is.

If you had read it, you would have seen that in the end nothing changes about the zerker…

I don’t think you understand balance. If you make everything do 20% more damage, that’s like making Berserker do 20% less damage in comparison. Everything is relative.

LumAnth.5124:

I once thought Necromancers were sub par in dungeons too then I had one join my AC all paths run.

He did really well. When the Spider Queen was about to spit venom fields, he managed to time his fear at the right second and ran a good DPS build (dagger/dagger)

The thing with most “bad” classes are the fact they are more difficult to play well not a bad class. Playing a Warrior is decently hard to do poorly, whereas you can play Necromancer poorly pretty easily. Both can provide great help in dungeons though.

Alienmuppet.1942:

I bet they are twitchy about pressing the go button and doing lots of last minute checks. I’ve always found it a little scary on my software projects when an update affects many sites, and each site is critical. I would find gamers more scary than clients judging by this forum ;-)

IF YOU NERF MY FAVORITE BUILD I WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU LOVE! [/sarcasm]

Compared to the rest of the NPCs in the game these guys are pretty much Liadri’s!

Let’s set up a fund to help her set up her shop somewhere else. Mail your gold to me, and I’ll make sure she get’s her shop built.

Lishtenbird.2814:

I’m sure ANet has considered this very thoroughly

Just like they thought through silk and elder wood?

I think you should be able to put Ascended equipment into the forge along with ascended inscriptions/insignias to unlock the ability to swap stats on that item.

Nope. We got six skills, ~four maps, and no new classes? Now compare that to what Guild Wars: Factions added to the game: 200+ skills, all of Cantha, and two classes. I won’t consider the Living Story an expansion’s worth of content until it rivals that.
EDIT: Or compare it to Eye of the North, which added 100+ skills, four regions, 18 dungeons, 124 quests, and 41 armor sets.

Sweetblue Huntress.9856:

I love the troll in all of us.

(in yoda voice) The troll is strong with this one…

This is exactly why we don’t have capes.

Kain Francois.4328:

Tried this ingame before complaining on forums?

Yeesh, kids these days….

Considering you said it sucked in your other thread, should I assume you’re trolling?

Fernling.1729:

Quote from Mike O’Brien

“we’ve always expected that we will someday raise the level cap in GW2”

Someday, I will leave GW2.

I don’t have dual legendaries, or dual of any skin but the problem seems to be going over my head. Legendaries are more than just a skin, and that’s all they can transmute over.

Roy Cronacher.1576:

…and this is why we showed all the things.

Jon and Roy were like…

Flame & Frost was actually a pretty great series of updates. Then they decided to try and do it over, and over again, each time worse than the last.

That expression should only be used in limited circumstances. When I say “I wish there were more dungeons. I really like those.” and someone says “Go play Diablo, Guild Wars 2 isn’t the game for you.” I can’t help but laugh, because GW2 has dungeons already. When someone says “They should [add mounts, include the trinity, add more stat grind, etc.]” I can see why someone would say “This isn’t the game for you.”.

Hobbs.9260:

Sounds like more elitist talk,

Except it’s not. Level 80s have one zone. At just about any other level, you have multiple zones at your level. If you aren’t done levelling yet, why do you need more content? You haven’t even played beaten the base game yet.

I think wearing skimpy armor in combat is a serious logic fail. “I’m fighting for my life, so I’ll take all my armor off!” I mean come on, when the other guys are shooting arrows and swinging swords you’ll want to be as covered as possible. Just my thought process.

I’d be fine with getting the HoT upgrade key and Base Game key separated. Then I could have a second, base account to either use for myself or give to a friend and use the HoT upgrade on my account.

Vayne.8563:

So 12 year olds are impatient and think things are dumb.

My teenagers thought everything was dumb. Insurance was dumb. Taxes were dumb. Eating vegetables was dumb. Chic flicks were dumb. Reading was dumb.

I’m not sure what that proves except that you’ve got plenty more years of that to go.

As a teenager, I only think two of the things, taxes and chick flicks, are dumb. The point being made, is that if a twelve year old feels patronized by the level-gating of content, then it isn’t necessary.

It dropped in a dream I had. Does that count?

I have to learn how to bleed on the floor?

@ipan I don’t prefer to play Diablo or Vindictus, I like Guild Wars 2 the way it is. I like open world mixed with group content. The thing about dungeons, is that it’s actually pretty popular. With the introduction of megaservers they would actually be over crowded. I played a mini-dungeon the other day and there were about 10 of us. If we doubled party size in the current dungeons, it would ruin them. IMO, this “next best solution” would ruin this kind of content.

Regina Buenaobra.6193:

To clarify: $50 is the price of the expansion. We included the core game as a free bonus to make it easier for new players to get into it.

If this is true, why is the core game only no longer an option on the buy page?

The problem was Anet was able to satisfy them with the original Guild Wars. New classes, new continents, new skills, etc. The original Guild Wars released in 2005, and then we got two expansions in 2006. The problem is less the players demanding too much, and more ArenaNet no longer being able to keep up with demand.

Since ArenaNet opted to make the Living Story in place of an expansion, the Living Story needs to deliver the same quantity and quality content that an expansion would deliver. Unfortunately, the Living Story hasn’t been able to accomplish this, resulting in players demanding more content. To say that the players are just demanding too much is a little naive in my opinion, since there demand is based on what ArenaNet produced in the past.

Previously you had to do all 10 dailies to get 10 AP, now you only need to complete 3 and you get better rewards. What’s the problem?

Alora.6841:

Now everyone can kick me despite me opening the dungeon, hooray.

I’ll actually miss running without the risk of those three guys who just happen to be in the same guild kicking me.

Yenrah.8532:

Well, imo this game needs a lot more of simple, realistic weapons. Right now we are an 80’s disco on some bad drugs.

While I agree, I think that Reaper of Souls is an anticlimactic finish after 9 hints from John.

Zodiaci.3218:

a new set of dungeons,

They added a new set of dungeons! YES!!!
/me checks game
Oh, you’re just making stuff up. Since you’re making stuff up, do I even have to come up with a counter argument?

EnemyCrusher.7324:

I believe mage is referring to the (lack of) realism of the players carrying around the most extra weight being the fastest.

Warriors and Guardians would have gone through intense conditioning though, wouldn’t they? After backpacking 30 miles over three days, I stopped noticing the backpack. They would’ve been training for longer and get to the point where they function normally while being weighed down.

Crusader – Uses Longbows to deal heavy damage, and applies boons to allies through shouts.

All things have a right to grow.

But you should never leave a wrong to ripen into evil.
