Guild Wars 2

Wait for legendary armors….

BTW anet if you are reading this: why can’t you give us changeable stats on ascended? Think about pros… 1. It makes guild wars 2 more fun – BINGO! nothing matters more!
If you don’t want us to change stats whenever we want and for free after crafting asc. gear, at least make some consumable item which will enable you to reset your stats on asc. gear. You can even bound it into gem store if you make it cheap… like 100gem for 1 consumable which is able to reset all of your currently equipped asc. gear.

ArenaNet, are you really removing rewards from Dungeons? ….But why??

this should be a priority, not to introduce new chapter of story every 2 weeks

Good for you I do what I can and I get between 15-20

I love you Anet! You made WvW finally playable I have phenom II X4 and radeon hd 6850 and before the patch I had like 9-13 FPS in the largest zergs even when culling turned off the most of the players. Now I have 22+ (usually around 30) FPS in the largest zergs It is just wonderful.

Clarification to others: this FPS boost works only if you put lowest option on the limit of rendering players (to see only nameplates in huge fights). But it is still better than before.

hmm, yeah i agree they are often, but not to my taste (my problem :P) i find everything about the updates childish, all the content they add is childish but maybe its because i played gw1 for so long which had a more serious view even on the wintersday event

+1
+ those childish weird costume hats doesn’t help to immersion either.
I just wish serious updates and long replayability of them

noobs crying about not being able to burn players and bosses in 3 seconds. cute

I am a sylvari, LS heroes are my friends, you are a sylvari, yet you are not my friend.

David.9807:

The best survivability is the highest damage in dungeons. Personally, i made few changes on my zerk builds and i can tell you there is no point to look for a condition or “support” build into a speedrun party. With this patch, the only thing happened is you should ping your gear more often into the party chat before you start the run. None of the serious players want a non zerker or condition build in their party, since they are good sure as every class, but there are MUCH MORE better choices.

I can’t believe what I’ve just read…. this kind of thinking is a plague of this game.

It would be really boring to join The Seraph. You would probably stand on one spot all day, all night, telling others “move along” or “may Dwayna protect you.”

I agree. The concept of noxious pods is just obnoxious. Please change this. Double or triple the crystalline ore quantity, triple the amount of spawned pods along the meta (no random spawning!!!) and actually award at least 5 ore on every map progress, 20 for killing Mordremoth with 100% participation.

This again?…..

Charak.9761:

Should of been the highest priority, a lot of your veteran players are waiting on it to progress in this game

this

This is what bugs me the most. How is it possible that I am not able to fully enjoy the new features without paying another extra 10€ or deleting one of my characters?

Give us an option to buy:
1. HoT with the base game
2. HoT with 1 character slot

Both for 45€. Then you have me. Until then, see you in other FULL games for the same price. You are trying to rip us off and it is really NOT okay.

I don’t understand what are your expectations people. Living story content is great, I don’t say it has a strong story, but it is fun! I, for example, loved scarlet invasions and it is sad that almost nobody does them by now. Everyone just farm their way to legendary and forget about all the fun

I prefer it this way. This map is very annoying for the majority of the player base. If they know there is a meta that is easily doable, at least they go in there and you always have someone to play with.

It is very fair. Everybody can earn the same amount of AP. If you capped your daily limit then congratz!!!!! Now you can ignore them and focus on different things!

I agree with Vayne by all means. Nobody could expect that HoT will be what it is, if we compared it to the gameplay from the base game. The advertisement was better AI of mobs, and challenging 10-man content and legendary armor. The reality is is few gimmicky mob mechanics with insta-kill damage, unbalanced 10-man fractals favouring only 50% of the classes and excluding the rest + favouring only highly organised groups of people pre-HoT. There is no friendly way to find people for raiding, as this game is so casual, the guilds don’t mean almost anything. And legendary armor, even though I didn’t even kill VG yet (because I’m guardian and nobody wants me + finding 9 more people is next to impossible), won’t be accessible until maybe the end of the year. And I’m not really going into all that map-meta events that are….. no, I’m not saying anything.

So ArenaNet listened to all the whiners who needed to be commanders and gods and whatever, and killed Trehearne… awesome. You made it clap clap … clap

Because this is what people want to do…use third party program in order to play one of the basic parts of the expansion….yaaay. /sarcasm off. Tripple trouble is the most similar to TD and look how many people are doing it. None. I killed that wurm just twice since it was released exactly because I don’t want to bother with 3rd party programs and the “wonderful” megaserver sys-not-tem

We need SAB… I am waiting for it every new update announcement. Really, Anet, you ought to open SAB for more than only one month per year. It would be best if it stayed open 24/7/365

Trixie.7614:

I like Logan. I don’t like you. Does that mean that I have to wish for your death now?

+1

Infinite Coin for SAB!!!! ….oh, wait…

I noticed it too. Everyone is gone…and WvW borderlands are empty too.

Big problem to your game. You cannot release this hard content and expect people to enjoy it with your stupid overflow system. Make it instanced for guild members or create better overflow system. THIS IS WRONG and you know it…

Layka.7465:

Next time vote Evon Gnashblade and this won’t happen.

This!
We could save the city if Evon was in and ordered air defenses!

Dear NCsoft,
let ArenaNet do their amazing work and do not think about some “cultural issues” or whatever. Cantha is the part of Guild Wars universe, beloved by players and developers. You should not ban some art tendencies only because some of your executives do not like them. Thank you.

Respectfully,
Alisar Dius, guardian of the Sylvari.

OMG THAT IS SO UGLY!!!!!!!

I remember when my friend wanted to buy The Crossing for 130g because it was the only staff in game he liked but it seemed too expensive for him. I don’t want to see his reaction to this. …just ridiculous. Anet, why do you want your players to die from farming gold just to look pretty? I wear the same armor set and weapons for more that 6 months now. Do you consider it Okay that we have nothing nice and cheap available in game? There is literally one armor set for sylvari male which looks good on him – cultural T2.

Yes, it is very good. However, crafting 250 staffs which require around 7000 elder wood (plus, you need 11 000 elder wood logs for 53 spirit wood planks) is a bit stupid… I refuse to buy it through TP, so now I am going to park all my characters to Malchor’s Leap, guest german and spanish server, and farm the kitten out of those trees.

Dear Linsey, my bank is full of all the kinds of materials which I was saving up for years. You had a chance to give them a purpose…now they will stay there collecting dust… farming 18 000 elder wood logs + other thousands of lower tier logs is not fun at all.

I could have built a wooden castle from such amount of wood planks… not one stick with few glowy crystals.

Hurdy.2748:

OK so Queen Jenna is Scarlet. Also she’s the leader of the aetherblade pirates. Anise is her first mate / lesbian lover and together they plan to subtly rule tyria.

Anyway they catch that Sylvari pirate from the opening ceremony and she turns out to be another one of Caithe’s former lesbian lovers turned evil. Logan interrogates her and she spills the beans that the Queen is actually in charge of the aetherblade pirates.
Logan is all like “aw no WTF m8?” and he’s conflicted and goes into seclusion deciding what to do and he listens to a lot of coldplay during this time and doesn’t often leave his room.

Meanwhile the seraph are in disarray and the aetherblades infiltrate divinities reach. The watch knights are under their command and they all turn into their victim’s worst nightmares like those things in harry potter only no one knows the ridiculo spell in tyria. All hope is lost. or is it?

A group of 5 anonymous adventurers, most with names of characters from naruto and purple hair, appear to save the day. Two of them are commanders even though they’ve never set foot in WvW. They fight their way from the entrance of divinity’s reach to the throne room where they throw down with Anise.

They kill Anise and are ready to kill Jenna, the traitorous Kitten, when Logan appears. After listening to ‘clocks’ and ‘you oughta know’ for the umpteenth time and eating a quart of mint chip ice cream in dark room he is ready to face his ex-not-really-a-lover, Queen Jenna. Mustering the trace amounts of testosterone in his really effeminate body, he approaches the queen.

He kneels down.

She is unconscious.

He reaches his arm down towards her bosom.

He rips out her heart and eats it. He takes off his mask. It was Rytlock the whole time!
“kitten humans! Charr 4 life” he cries, teabagging the corpse, as divinities reach crumbles beneath the bombs of the combined forces of the Charr legions.

your post won

Hopefully they will let us glide below Rata Sum

His voice is OK. His tone highlighted the feeling from the story – big threat that was almost unbeatable, unanswered questions how to defeat Zhaitan. He was just sad the whole time.
If you look for some horrible characters and voice actings it was actually PLAYER characters which were totally shallow, plain and stupid.
“That sounds like fun.” “That was fun! Let’s do it again!” (dungeons)
So much focus on reminding players that everything they do is fun. “Yeah, I just killed undead dragon which killed thousands of people! That was so much fun how I blew his head with a cannon!!!”
those kind of lines are totally breaking the immersion

Him being goody goody character is OK. I am also that good sweet guy in real life. Why does everyone need to have some mixed character traits? Why does everyone think that if somebody seems to be purely good he must be a plain, shallow character??

He never stole your glory. As someone mentioned earlier, he didn’t even attend the party.

Maybe this is just me…

When i first heard “adventures” I thought about actual adventure. Kind of like quests, or mini dungeons or anything I could do where there would be a reason to do it, and a sense that I was playing the character I created. Learning they were mini-games, some (at least) with different skill bars… well, color me disappointed. I don’t have an issue with mini-games existing. Some folks like them. Still, not what I think of when I hear the word “adventure.”

As far as this thread, I suspect there would be less complaints about mastery points in adventures if they were actually adventures — and for mini-games, they could maybe have brought back SAB…

My imagination went to a similar place. Like I was imagining a map-wide dynamic quest, or something of that nature. Something that spanned a large physical space and involved a lot of different elements. I guess I was imagining “adventure” in the explorative sense, rather than “activity” sense.

Either way, I don’t know what they were thinking attaching them to mastery points and collections. Just comes across like no faith in the content to sell itself on its gameplay merits. I had thought that the leaderboards would be the “mmo incentive” but I guess not.

I can’t make sense of it in my head.

I was imagining them the same way you two did. A very wrong choice of words…. and I agree they should have brought back SAB instead… my infinity coin is really annoyed by this time

Great. So you guys punish the more casual among us who don’t have 5+ 80s farming that node every day. And you now reward those people with multiple 80s who farmed it like mad.

Speaking as someone who is not in favor of removing the ori node, I’m confused as to how removing it somehow “rewards” those people who farmed it like mad. Did you expect ANet to remove all of the ori from our banks?

Removing the node rewards nobody, regardless of any past interactions with it.

It is simple. They have full stock of this material which cost around 2,5s before patch. Now it will rise to let’s say 5-6s and the people who has the stock will sell it for biiiiiiig money. And the rest of us, who went there twice or thrice a week will be even more poor than before.

Casual players can still enjoy all aspects of the new maps.

if we turn into hardcore players

Change your build up and experiment with new builds, join a guild, ask in map chat for help. None of these things make you hardcore and soon you will be back to pressing 1 and winning just like the old days.

Casual doesn’t mean unskilled.

Casual players are immensely hindered by the ridiculously long meta event cycles tied to the real-world clock. Casual players don’t plan their playing hours. They log in, and play.

Some of them are skilled enough to deal with any challenge in the new maps, except the challenge of needing to be online at specific times to participate in the only significant content on offer in the new maps.

Exactly this. Finally someone who knows semantics of words.

Thank you. And please don’t change it back.

ProtoGunner.4953:

I found it funny, cuz a lot of people wished they could kill him and voilà, they did it. I never had bad feelings about him, I liked him. ‘Taking the credit’ is not so true, he always appreciates your doings and never imposes himself as the self-proclaimed and sole killer of Zhaitan.

People seem to be full of testosterone and want to be the hero, imo this is a very immature behaviour: where in life are we the heroes?

Goldrock.9076:

p2w means you are forced to pay i havnt felt a NEED to pay for anything unless i wanted too its NOT VERY HARD to earn gold and turn it into gems its actually easy fairly fun .

http://metabattle.com/wiki/MetaBattle_Wiki

- dragonhunter
- druid
- reaper
- scrapper
- tempest

That is just an example.

Outside of PVP, it is not P2W. But more like pay, pay again for gems to gold, to enjoy the game.

Actually, I kind of expected this since beta of HoT. Back then, you could glide in Silverwastes Obviously, there is no technical restriction in gliding in old maps. It is all just about polishing geodata so players cannot fall out of maps. Plus, it would make zero sense if we couldn’t glide in next expansion. I expect Tengu, Primordus and fighting in air.

they are not worth it… play this game for reasons which gives you fun, ignore all NCsoft’s thievery practice

What are you talking about? What pact commander? The player character is the pact commander. I don’t get this silly topic. There is no canonical race, and that is the point of GW2 story narration.

Aidenwolf.5964:

… I won’t save 1000 gold to buy one because paying another player off for being lucky when I wasn’t isn’t how I choose to play. And by the time I save 1000 gold precursors will be 1500 gold.

This is exactly the issue. I don’t like paying my precious gold to some lucky Joe. I would rather spend it on some vendor, or whatever… but not to give 1000g!!!! to someone else.
And another problem is that, by the time I will save the last 500g on Dusk, it won’t be 1000 but 1500g((((

character slot or riot!

lol, this is so funny… I’m glad that I don’t feel any hype for this game anymore. I want to play it for sure…but there are plenty of games I can play instead of this one :-*

Oh, the microtransactions for content you suggested are just a pure blasphemy. I have no sympathy for you anymore

I love Tarir octovine music!!! It really pushes me to try my best the whole fight and coordinate others ..the only thing I miss is 300g for commader’s compendium xD

I learnt to ignore those skins if i don’t get ticket from free BL keys that I loot. Just ignore them. If enough people start ignoring them, maybe they will do something about it.

NeHoMaR.9812:

I suppose gliding mastery will be available to everyone? including core and f2p accounts? if not they are going to feel excluded, not being able to follow a commander to say one example. I can imagine already, if you cant fly, get out!

couln’t care less especially about F2P

Well done, well done amazing tease at the end…powerful and scary. I really did shed a tear of happiness (or two…..okay, it was at least five)
