Guild Wars 2

Ohoni.6057:

How did you not get left behind as the train moved to new content if you were AFK? I mean, I’ve taken a break when doing content where there was downtime between events, but I had to pay attention while it was actually active.

It’s called having two screens. Taking part in a train is so brainnumbingly simple, press skill 1 and get loot. It should not even be rewarded at all.

Ohoni.6057:

The point is, you shouldn’t get better rewards just because you enjoy doing more difficult content.

In fact they should. They are doing something difficult, so they should be rewarderd. Again, it is called risk vs reward.

You should read up about it, it might open your eyes for once, instead of being scared for a challenge and starting to cry when someone gets better loot because they are doing something harder.

Ohoni.6057:

Fractal 50 does take more skill, but who cares? If you have the skill and interest to do fractal 50s, then do fractal 50s. If you don’t, then don’t, but there’s no reason you should be penalized for that.

You are saying harder content should not be rewarderd? That’s the reason aetherblade path is not being run as often as the other paths, that’s why CoF used to be the best way to get money, the reason the Queensdale train was so popular..

Harder content should alwaysbe awarded. It is called “risk vs reward”. The bigger the risk, the better the reward. You come of as a person who wants a legendary weapon as a daily login reward and you seem to want everything in the game, without wanting to do something hard. If that is true, no offense, but people like you are what is wrong with the current gaming generation. Easy gameplay, tutorials everywhere, being rewarderd for every little thing, etc etc.

Also, afking during a farm train is very easy. I used to watch my animes while Queensdale training and farming Orr.

—Bonus!!—
Some examples of risk vs reward in other games:
- Final Fantasy 9: Beating some boss < 12hours gives the best weapon in the game
- GW1: Unique skins in UW, FoW, Urgoz Warren, The Deep, DoA
- GW1: Higher chance of rare drops in hardmode, also the appearance of locked chests
- Titan Quest: Unique skins and more powerful weapons on Epic/Legendary setting
- WoW: Raids contain unique rewards tied to the raid

On my warrior I swap out my warhorn for shield in WvW when I need to get into a tower that is being attacked by a large zerg, for extra defense.

This again?

GW2 doesn’t need mounts. Every MMO I played with mounts they are a clunky mess that clogs up the screen with unnecessary particle effects.

A big no for me.

Hmm. Which of these screenshots depicts the most unnecessary particle effects?

I did say “Every MMO I played”. Also, to everyone showing me screenshots of GW2’s particles, I know. I hate the amount of particles, it is really absurd. It’s the reason I don’t do world bosses since the graphics give me headaches.

I just think there are more then enough particles in the game, and knowing Anet, when they release mounts they will be a heaven for particle effect lovers.

No, I don’t want to see your black and red dyed Charr Warrior with your Twilight riding in some vehicle with a lot of smoke and fire into battle. Too much particles for me.

This again?

Gunnar’s Hold since headstart!

The year is currently 1327 AE. If I remember correctly, day lasts 70 minutes and night 40 minutes in the game.

I don’t hope so either, it basically adds nothing more to the game. Since you will be level 90 or so, everything in pve will be even more easy than it currently is.

All current regions shoud be updated to match the higher levels, or new maps should be added.. New gear should be put into the game.. Way to much work.

Whats wrong with level 80 max anyway?

Zoso.8279:

Another cool effect would be on the traveler titles. The traveler title can give you foot prints and the higher tier it goes the cooler the footprints are and walking among mere mortals can give you golden foot steps.

Just what we need, more footsteps. It’s the reason I don’t have a legendary since I can’t turn off the footsteps. I think it’s so ugly. To each their own I guess.

Also, do we really need more effects? This game contains more than enough effects as it is right now. Without an option to turn off certain effects or particle sliders, I’d have to say no to added effects to titles.

At one point there will be, but as far as we know, not in the upcoming feature patch.

I like the way Final Fantasy XII handles their bestiary.

- When you kill a monster, it’s added with some flavor text
- Kill X more, you get another page about the monster or something in relation to it
- Kill X more, get another page etc.

In GW2 it could work that when you kill a creature for the first time, it’s added, without flavor text, to the bestiary.

- X more kills, you get flavor text
- X more kills for background information like habitat, food consumption, natural enemies etc.
- X more kills for common drop information
- X more kills for rare drop information

Seems like a lot of work but it would drive me, a WvW player, back to PvE to slay each and every creature out there!

Acinonyx Rex.8609:

Commander Tag should be free for all. It’s a very usefull tool and anyone should be able to use it.
Here’s how things should be (IMHO) :
Introduce a new item “Tag coin” available for 1000 badges of honor or as a PvP reward track.
Blue Tag should be free for everyone.
Green Tag should cost 100Gold + 1 Tag coin
Yellow Tag should cost 200Gold + 2 Tag coins
Orange Tag should cost 500Gold + 5 Tag coins
Red Tag should cost 1000Gold + 10 Tag coins
Limit Tags to 10 per maps.
If there is already 10 Blue Tags When a Green Tag want to activate, the latest Blue Tag is desactivated.

Really? The colors should’ve been free in the first place! Why put such high restrictions when the players ask for more coordination. Now it’s just another gold sink. The different colors will now be used as a “look at how much money I got” kind of thing.

If Anet announces the featurepack but won’t say what it contains, people will complain because they don’t know what will be in the pack.

If Anet announces the featurepack and give the list straightaway people complain because it isn’t revealed the same way as the previous feature pack.

if Anet announces the featurepack and split the list in small bits like now, people complain because it isn’t the list in one time.

If Anet releases the featurepack without announcing it, people complain that it wasn’t announced.

1. Log in
2. Hours of WvW
3. Log off

If people want mounts, play a game with mounts.

During the betas they actually had lore in the loading screens about the current map you are loading in to. Also a progress bar that shows how much has been loaded.

I wish I could get my legendary without * PVE. **************

I liked my Vampiric Dragon Sword in GW1. If it makes a return it should be kept as a 1H sword, not a greatsword.

Amazing. Such warm feelings inside!

I see there is already a topic about it, no need to post here. If a mod could close this thread, that’d be great.

Hello,

The world_names.json endpoint is disabled. For how long has this been going on, and will it be enabled any time soon?

Is there any other way to get the server names?

Thanks in advance.

I thought they released it just so that eventually every stat combination becomes available.

Read the mail people, it isn’t that hard! It literally takes more time to create a post on here than reading the mail for once.

Nick.6972:

If Black Lion Skins bugged out they’d be fixed the next day.

That sounds about right, but that is because it is an entirely different system compared to the Mistforged Weapon in the way they are distributed.

This is the first time the Mistforged Weapons are given to players and are based on their participation based on a particular server. There are lots of things that can go wrong.

Besides, the Black Lion Skins are distributed for about 1.5 years the same way, so Anet knows how to fix it fast. The way mistforged weapons are given to players is new.

You need to have another commander on at the same time and everyone following only that one. Commander Grief cannot do much harm alone.

Oh he can. Being from GH I know which commander OP means. Commander creates rams in keep wasting every supply so WP cant be finished. Destroys omegas using fall damage, harassing other players etc.

He completely ruins the fun for the entire server, making us loose our keep because we dont have any supply left to defend. Anet shouldnt protect one guy even though he isnt breaking the rules, anet should think about keeping our server happy.

Besides hes not doing this the past month but since release.

I’m not defending this guy, but are you suggesting that ANet single out a customer to punish who is not breaking any rules? I’m not a lawyer but that sounds illegal and a lawsuit in the making if they did that.

I do think it’s not legal either. They should however change their rules of conduct and add a grieving option to the report selection. I think the stuff the commander does is unacceptable, especially doing it for almost 2 years without any consequences.

Gunnars Hold probably isn’t the only server having such troll guys, so anet should really consider changing some stuff in order to report these guys.

I can’t stand Vanity tags either. 9 times out of 10 it’s someone just running around solo not even calling events out in map chat. Commander tags need to be harder to get and not bought with 100g.

commander tags should be quiz based of some sort, to prove knowledge of the game.. instead they’re a gold sink.

I agree, but a quiz will not be the best option. As soon as the quiz is implemented, dulfy has all the answers on her website.

Neither, an expansion.

This, but I know it’ll probably never happen. We’re stuck with the LS (which seems to keep going downhill with each patch, just look at the nerfs that came with this one).
Eventually we might get new weapons/classes/maps…

Except this one isn’t part of the living story but just a festival to celebrate the launch in China.

Blinka.9078:

Hi, I’m an Elementalist and I like your idea.
They also seem perfect to have Control-based skills (like all hammer skills).
For example: Staves are mainly supprtive, Scepters do single target dmg so this would fit perfect with Control-based skills that light armor professions lack (when comparing to hammer).

Things that came to my mind:
For Necro: Summon chains of ice that pulls your target and chill them.
Ele Air: Throws your target and other enemies arround your target to the air
Ele Earth: Sumons a rock hand from the ground that imobilizes your target, activate again to slam the target and knock down all enemies in a line
Mesmer: Switch places with your target confusing him

This also seems awsome weapon for thievs IF wont float in the air. Following the Control-Based skills

Mesmer:
Step1: Switch with target on enemy/veteran inside Keep or Garrison
Step 2: Portal
Step 3: Claim structure
Step 4: Next Keep/Garrison

Woljnir.7810:

I like how everyone who doesn’t like a particular aspect of this patch is considered a “kiddie.” If people wanted to play a mind-numbing and boring zerker beta, what’s it to you? They’re favorite playstyle is now gone, I think they should be allowed to whine about it. Just like other things people are whining about. Patch is great overall, but it’s preposterously far from perfect. It seems like ANet really didn’t think out some of these changes very much.

People, don’t dig yourselves into holes by calling other people kid. It’s juvenile and just ends up making you look worse.

Why is it gone? Berserker is still top damage. Bosses just take 5s more to kill. Besides, since almost every berserker player wields a greatsword, they have another sigil slot to compensate for the damage. Also the runes are reworked which in most cases contribute to higher damage.

Correct me if I’m wrong but while ferocity reduced the raw damage compared to crit damage, the extra sigil slot for gs and the reworked runes make up for the loss.

Stonemist fights would take ages when every class is */Me because of the enormous amount of portals.

And another bump

despair.1385:

i play mmo’s for the PvP. i was considering returning to gw2 but the following issue is making me angry.

you don’t get any rewards for doing sPvP. you don’t even get XP from sPvP. if I am not rewarded by putting my time into something then it is pointless.

so all there is left is WvW. that is not enough to make me want to play. i like sPvP, just too bad there is no point to playing it.

You should play for fun, not for rewards. If you like to play spvp, do it. Rewards shouldn’t be a motivator to do something.

+1 for me. Seems like a good option.

So the OP wishes that 20 minutes before he fights the wurm, you get a mail saying there is a wurm event with the exact location. When he travels to the said location, he finds an npc which explains everytime about the wurm. How much HP, its attack range, its damage output, its mechanics, the do’s and don’ts etc.

Like everyone already said, gamers today are way too spoiled with games in general. When I was a kid I defeated Ultima & Omega Weapon in FF8, got every Esper in FF3, got a 102% completion on Diddy Kongs Quest, completed the original legend of Zelda with (I think) every heart there is to find, I could go on for a long time.

Games like Demon/Dark Souls are games like how they used to be. Challenging, mysterious and lots to explore.

Kaos.9162:

Name.9625:

That´s a LS part i won´t take part in then. Unless they´ll add some REALLY big rewards for the meta achievement.

Well, it’s related to WvW, so I wouldn’t expect anything good in terms of rewards…

Ever since I stopped caring about rewards, WvW is a lot more fun. The entire game for that matter.

Aikiko Kuwahari.5362:

So… We can have Cantha “expansion” this year can we we can have have? Pretty please? And a lvl-cap +10~20 along the way.. x) If we can have, I promise to clean your boot with my new Shiny Quaggan Cleaner.. :P

- TJ

Yes to the expansion, no to the level cap.

I thought that the footfall only counts for the main hand weapon, so two Bolts only gives one footfall, not two.

A main guild meaning a very big guild? I think[RAMM] is pretty big, in PvE at least. If [MARA] is still around, they were big once too if I remember correctly.

E = mc2

I really don’t know what the problem is. I got my first map completion around december 2012. Took me quite a few times to get the WvW completion but if you log in to WvW every now and then and check if your server has the places you are missing, go and collect them. If not, try to run with the main zerg and get the points you are still missing.

If you can’t get them this week, try next week again. Really, it’s not a big deal.

As a WvW player only, I see quite a few people that come to WvW, claiming to hate pvp in GW2 and only do WvW for the completion. 3 weeks later they joined the biggest WvW guilds on my server because they say PvE is boring compared to WvW.

Also, as a WvW player only, to get a legendary, I have to run dungeons. I don’t like to run dungeons. Should I write a post about asking ANet to remove the need for dungeons for a legendary? How about we start removing crafting too since I don’t like to do it?

I also want those fancy backpacks but I hate PvE.. I wish we could get them in WvW too without doing PvE!

Gamers these days really whine about every little thing they can whine about.

Just wanted to show you this image.

When attacking with the Ghastly Long Bow the animation still freezes. This has been in the game as long as I can tell! Probably some (but not all) other Ghastly weapons have the same issue.

DoesntAfraid.9218:

6.) Enemies seem rather repetitive
I could be wrong! I am only level ~45, but after completing a few maps, I struggle to think of any “talking” enemies I have fought besides bandits (which all look the same) and centaurs.

I surely have forgotten a few things, but these are what stood out at the moment.

For example Nightmare Court, Inquest, Skritt, Grawl, Sons of Svanir.

I am amazed by the amount of people thay say “GW2 sux, I didn’t get my money’s worth etc”. I don’t post much on these forums but I read them almost every day, and a lot of the people that QQ about how bad GW2 is are fairly active on the forums.

Why?

I mean, if you don’t like the game, leave it behind and find a new one. Don’t search the forums for any possible topic where you could QQ more. Go play a new game, go outside, meet people, watch a movie, do the laundry, go meet with friends, have fun. I really don’t understand you guys.

Don’t get me wrong, GW2 certainly isn’t the best game out there and I really think it should’ve never been called Guild Wars 2 in the first place since it isn’t even remotely comparable to the original, but man, get a life guys.

A few days ago I saw this tshirt that I bought a few weeks ago, it was something like 30% cheaper. I should ask for a refund.

Seriously, I can’t even tell if you are serious or not. Everything will be sold cheaper at a certain point in time. It’s not like Anet is the only business that’s doing it. Besides, why shouldn’t Anet focus on new players? Anet is a business, it needs money.

Did you get your money’s worth out of GW2? If yes, delete this topic and move on. If not, play more GW2, then delete this topic and move in.

We waited for this for over a year, we can wait a bit longer. It’s not like it’s gamebreaking anyway, we still have gw2lfg.

Thanks guys!

Hello everyone,

I’m going away on holiday from the 17th to the 25th august. Queen Jennah’s speech will be held on the 20th, so will this (and everything in the patch) be instanced (as in the Opening Ceremony from Queen’s Jubelee) that I can access the 26th or will the patch contain one-time events?

TehPwnerer.7215:

Septemptus.7164:

I would like to have that effect also, but I guess some people might not want it.
Maybe make 2 kinds of fallblades for people with HoM. It would be a nice addition for GW1 players.

Why would someone want the sword with less effects? In GW1 it had (IMO) one of the coolest sword effects. I’d definitely not want it any less than that, and to see it as such in GW2 is disappointing.

I do. More effects doesn’t mean it’s better looking.
