Guild Wars 2

All anyone wants is another way to make the mist stone that doesn’t use fractal relics. Just make it with WvW or PvP tokens, or some other token players would rather get. You got to buy a mist stone what does it matter what you buy it with. Players who like fractals probably have lots of relics. Maybe players who have WvW token have some of those they would rather use. Maybe someone would just rather use his fractal relics for something else.

Also they could have told us from the start this was going to be a Fractal Perk then those of us who don’t want to bother could have just skipped the whole thing. Oh but then no one would be in dry top.

My idea too I really would like something to do with these too! I got lots of them.

Who care how fast I could do the Fractals they are boring. They are full of rage quitting yahoos. They are full of not nice elitist people and before you get too mad at me I know they also have nice people too but I seem to always get with a group of misfit dips that got nothing better than to yell at everyone who makes a mistake. So not my style and not my idea of Fun.

I know there are a lot of people who love this kind of content but for everyone of you that does there are many who just would rather not go there. And please enjoy it but do not require us to do it for items in LS. The Legendary are bad enough and if getting one of them is not enough to keep people in the dungeons and fractals nothing will. The problem is they created these areas and no one is doing them and people cannot get groups. So this is their way to force people to do the content.

The only solution is to make the mist stone available in other venues. WVW is one, PvP must have some kind of token they could use. All we want is a bit of a choice.

No one wants an hand out just an option to use something else.

And if they wanted to give a Fractal Item they should have said from the beginning it was going to be for players doing Fractals and we would have known not to bother.

No there are lots of people doing the open world dynamic PvE we were promised in the beginning. There are just not a lot of people willing to waste their time doing 5 man instance dungeons and fractals. This requirement was introduced just to get more people into fractals. The same reason the new elite skills were added to the dungeons.

Dungeons and fractals have been on the downswing for quite a while. I’ve been in on several of the dungeon runs and they were so boring I can certainly forgo doing them again. I mean we ran in, ran past most of the bad guys, stood in a corner and sent someone to agro some stuff killed it, ran through some more bad guys, then hit a couple of bosses. Done. Boring. Story, who cares, we got some tokens for our Legendary. Who cares about a Legendary if you want one enough just buy it on the TP.

If I remember correctly there is a Fractal Back piece. Why do they need another one from LS. Or if you just wanted to give the Fractal Players something nice for doing LS and give them a second back piece skin that is fine but you should have told us up front in Part One that this was a Fractal Back Piece and we could have decided if we wanted to go for it or not. I resent wasting my time working for something I cannot finish. Or at least give the players who do not want to do Fractals a substitute for the fractal relics.

I choose not to do dungeons so I choose not to make a legendary, fine I can live with that. I choose not to make the Fractal Backpack. I don’t get a choice in the LS backpack because I’ve been working on it for 3 weeks already only to find out I cannot finish it.

I don’t want Fractals and Dungeons eliminated because I know even thought they are a farming trap and time suck that some people actually enjoy them.

And I’m tired of hearing you don’t need something if you don’t do Fractals. Yes Ascended armor is a time suck and expensive and not worth it. But I choose to make it. I enjoy it. I like having things and am so very tired of being told I’m a bad player because I find this kind of instance content boring. The whole LS has been turned into a second chapeter of your Personal story. Why because the devs forgot that after the Personal Story ended you might need a next chapter.

Something is rotten in Divinity Reach!

Many of these boss fights are hard for the softer classes. I did with my ele first and she died a lot. I’m not such a good dodger but there is hardly anyplace to dodge to it’s mostly red rings. All of these boss fights are doable but I would say too long and a bit boring once you get the Idea of what to do it’s just a long boring drawn out battle that could be shortened 25%.

My real opinion is they were really intended to so in pairs or small groups. And it’s the devs way of punishing solo play. Like being required to do some fractals to finish the backpiece punishment for solo play.

What does this tell you? That there are not enough people doing the Fractals. So now we are being forced to do them to complete the LS, just like the personal story required a dungeon. Boring if I wanted to do Fractals or Dungeons I would just do them. I do not like Dungeons or Fractals and I am not going to bother. You can keep your finished vine back piece it’s ugly any way. Now, I don’t have to waste the time or energy, I can was dishes and clean my house.

These are the tactics WoW used to use to get players in Dungeons and why I don’t play that any more. They thought they were being so very clever putting exclusive crafting mats in dungeons. Now, they have at least one less customer. So Look up my gem usage and my account and learn how to make the customer happy.

There are a great many vocal players who love Fractals and Dungeons. There are also a great many not so vocal players who are bored by them. GW2 needs to get with the program and forget about forcing someone into playing content they don’t enjoy. Then everyone will be a lot happier. Thank You!

Sorry my problem is the need for fractal relics. I don’t intend to ever waste my time in there. It’s The living story not please, please, please do the fractals because there empty like the dungeons. So hence the requirement to do a fractal to do the Living Story Backpack. NO not gonna happen.. Got much better things to do. Like wash the dishes!

It’s corrupted! Ever seen a plant grow in between sidewalk cracks? There’s bound to be enough dirt in the cracks of that fort for most anything to grow. Nature abhors a vacuum.

Also not everyone is as skilled with speed tests as the your super Mario generation. Some of us are old with hands and arms then don’t lend themselves to going from the 3rd jump crystal to a drop to 4 big jumps without a stop to get the Llama and run around jumping back and forth up two mesas to get the last coin . Some of us are plodders not speeders. The crystals could last a bit longer or perhaps instead of 10 jumps you only got 7 or 8. Why does is always have to be speed. I’m tired of JP’s that give the advantage to the young, swift and agile. Think Old, Slow and Stiff we could use a chance too. And it really sucks that you can’t get the Llama and there’s a coin just a bit too far also so your our of luck for 2 achieves and not just one. I’m tired of waiting for a port to do things I could do if I just had more time. I don’t mind having to find all 30 I would just like a fair chance for me to find them. The first 29 coins were all in fairly reasonable places, but the one on the mesas not so much. You could have just done one coin, put it on the mesa and anyone who could have found it could have gotten the others. I’m kind of tired of sitting things out with Taimi.

First, I have enjoyed the Dry Top area very much. But, These achievements should open up after going through once on your first toon and be available to all your other toons. I’m not a fan of doing things over and over. I don’t like dungeons for that reason either. Once I’ve done it, I’m pretty much ready to move on and farming old instances for achieves or tokens is pretty pathetic. I have 11 toons doing the story 11 times is quite enough, I really don’t think I need to do it more.

This seems kind of childish. If you don’t like a commander go to another map or group. It would be nice if there were different color tags so if 2 commanders were on the map you could keep track of the one your following.

Next your gonna want flying mounts. There is a game you can play that has all of that and I suggest you might try it.

Well, I look on AP’s as quests. I like quests and since there are not many in this game AP’s are what you got.

Absolutely No Way! You want this stuff go back and do the stuff to get it. Why not just let everyone buy map complete in gem store or Askalon Tears in the gem store? It’s the same principle!

My questions are these!

1. Why do we think the Zephyrites are necessarily on our side? They worship the dragons and think the dragons are neither good or evil, just a force of nature. The crystal dragons bones are somewhere in the Dry Top Area, are a source of great energy. Could they be the source of the ley line hub? That the dragons eat magic but maybe when they die a hub forms and magic expands outward through ley line too.

2. What was the mysterious cargo Taimi saw being loaded onto the ship? Is this cargo what actually blew up? The ships ran on wind not motors so what’s to blow up? They were big flying kites not motorized planes. I see them using crystals to fill their sails not power. Of course maybe the crystals blew up.

3. What was the ship with the red sails at the cliffs. It’s important enough there was a cut scene for it? It might have been a ship from Cantha, and there were a lot of Cantha items around the cliffs and a hint that the Zephryites were trading with them. But a cut scene for that seems like a big misdirect. But possible.

4. What was Aeron looking for? The bones of the dragon or the Master of Peace. Or was the Master of Peace a way to get to the bones.

I personally don’t think the new content is too easy. Yes, uber player is coasting through, perhaps. But a lot of us are getting tired of content we can never do. Not all of us are 16 years old with the reflexes of the young. Some of us are plodders and a lot of the new content takes fast reflexes. A lot of the content I can do but have a difficult time doing it fast. But a lot of the achieves could probably be accomplished easier with a group. Of course, there are a lot of players who would rather do it solo.

I know it’s too much to ask but if you insist on these kind of achievements can you please number the coins, crystals, etc. and give us a drop down in the achievement that tells us which ones we have done and which ones we need.

All the new armors use Cloth. I’m sure they did this so the Leatherworkers and Metalworkers could not get a big jump on the Soft Armor Makers when they added the new armor. You could make Mithrillium and Elonian Leather well before the patch that added Damask. And because of the cool downs it would be unfair to softies to wait a lot longer to get armor. Now everyone has about the same wait for Damask.

It’s not that I don’t understand but we had 9 very boring weeks doing this and now no reward. What were you doing while we were bored to tears and tearing out hair out. Revamping the Zepherites. Moving a few crystals. Or perhaps figuring out a system for us to pay to do a boss event in Crown Pavilion. At least the guy takes gold and not gems.

Who cares! Hard mode next your gonna want Vanquishing. Boring! It was in GW so it would be here.

Please for the love of Dwayna give us something to do with these so I can get them out of my bank. I enjoy opening chests but don’t give a button for tonics. Yes, some people enjoy them but I don’t so please let me sell them or TP them or Let me throw them down the Mystic Forge for a chance for anything other than a Tonic. Please, I’m begging you!

OH, and why are kill streak buffs not included in the new condensers?

But as I see it we will only be getting Living World content for holiday arcs., which, by the way are pretty much done. Unless they are inventing new holidays. The regular 2 week interval of Living World will change from dynamic open world content to solo closed instances. Like a boring old dungeon. Living World Content was new and exciting like nothing we had ever seen before. It was dynamic, if you snooze your loose. Now were Loosing Living World for a pale comparison of repeatable solo content. So instead of new content we get to do it over and over again and again like running AC again and again and again and again. Boring. But they will save tons of dev time while trying to convince you your getting new content. All with the reassurance that if you miss something you can pay a little bit to get it. So not only are they giving you less with the idea they have done you a favor they are willing to make you pay for it if you cannot log on during a certain week. Lame.

Well, as I see it the Living story is a unique community event and I resent it being turned into a solo farm. This was to be a dynamic game and the living story played into that this new Living Story throws that whole concept down the mystic forge and we get what we all wanted a solo farm run. Sounds like a lot of crap to me.

The living story was fun because it was a one time community event we could all do for about a month and move on. The events were for everyone and we could all get together for some fun and games. Some parts were easy and some parts were hard and everyone could do what they wanted. There were some good times killing the Marionette and fighting the Nightmare Tower. But we did it as a community and not as a solo run.

I realize that you got to the end of the personal story and realized it ended and what the hey, we need to do something. My personal story I stopped doing because I realized in order to finish I need to do a 5 man instance dungeon. Not my idea of a good time. But you don’t take the Living Story and make it into the Personal story because it’s easier. You write and new section of personal story and Continue the Living Story as it is. This is a rotten fish dressed up in a pretty paper trying to make us believe it don’t stink. You better rethink this whole idea because it just doesn’t fly.

This whole new option seems bad to me. It has all the potential of making the living story as boring as the personal story. It takes a really good addition to the game the living story that was a community event and makes it a boring solo farm run. Who in their right mind ever said they wanted to do the living story over and over and over and over again. The only part of the LS that was at all remarkable and repeatable was the Marionette. It would have make a nice world event but no we got the stupid wurm one instead. This bodes very badly. It sounds like they just want to remove community events and replace it with solo instance dungeons which is almost as bad an idea kitten man instance dungeons.

This is a dynamic game lets not forget that. Get back to basics and give up what we want not what is cheap.

Does anyone know what this ship with the red sails is at the top of the cliffs just below the top wp? If your at the rope walkway looking away from the white ship there is one on the left with red sails. There is even a cut scene showing it to you with the door open and golden light coming out of it.

I wish when you give me the option to redo my traits you would leave my traits as I have them and let me change them instead of just setting everything to 0. I’m tired of having my traits how I like them and coming back and having to redo them. Just give me the chance to change time once and translate the traits I have to the new system.

The biggest problem we have had was getting all of our guild to the same place at the same time to do the same thing. We often land in many different zones. It would be nice if we could party in a big group to travel.

Did it in WoW Boring! Did it in Rift Boring! Now something that was fun was the Artifact hunting in Rift, add something like that. But not like the Archaeology in WoW that too was Boring.

1. The first secret I’m going to share is the first battle cry I learned doing WvW with a guild. " Uplevels Must Die!" So you’ve got a target on your back. They don’t want you there leveling. It’s a place to go to play while you are in line for the other battle grounds. It’s not a learning farm or leveling ground.

2. The next secret is you are not guaranteed the ability to get achievements. You have to work for it. Hence the word Achievement. Meaning to reach a lofty goal. You have 9 weeks to them for the WvW tourney. It took me 8 days to do 10/10. All you really have to do is follow the Commanders. Then the Achievements will come. The rest of the WvW achievements are long and drawn out and looks to me like they could take many months of playing to get.

3. The last secret is find a guild who like to WvW. Get on mumble so you know what’s going on and can hear them. It’s what I did and I’ve had a wonderful time and made a lot of friends who make me laugh.

All we need are colors. And maybe a second Icon choice. Main commander Blue as always. Secondary commander can tag up with another color for his patrol. That should be very easy in the system we have and I don’t se it taking that much to do.

Then with a little more work there could be a secondary Icon for patrols to use. A star or something that could be colored so you could have a main group with the Blue commander and 3 small patrols with a captain each with a different colored star icon.

Then your could have a lot of people on at once and you could have 2 big groups with a red and blue commander and 3 small patrols each with a captain and a color. This would make it easy for players to see on the maps where their groups were at all times and you could find a group when you mapped in. As there would be multiple icons to choose from.

Just having a color change ability for the commander tag would help. Then the secondary commander could use another color. Or perhaps a secondary icon for captains that could color change. Your main Commander could always be The Blue Taco. But have a star or another icon for the Captains that could color change. Then you could look at your map and see that there is one main commander group but 2 smaller Captain groups with a red and a purple icon. Then If I know my Captains color I know where to find him easier.

It would be nice if you could change your icon color so different squads could follow their own leader. Or even have a secondary icon the sub commanders could use that could be colored. Blue Taco Main Commander. Red Star Squad Captain 1. Purple Star Squad Captain 2. Would certainly make finding people on the map easier.

I like my server and my community and am quite worried that the new mega server system will even have a adverse affect on server identity.

I think its their guild tag. If they play through the Anet guild they get that tag.

This is silly and no one is forcing anyone to do the achieves. Once they are capped why bother. I like goals. I use the Achieves like quests. If your gonna take away the achieves give me some good old fashioned quests.

Although I Like the set times on events very much, I am going t miss playing on my home world. I like my home world. I’ve lived there a while now and was thinking of buying a home and putting down roots as my apartment is getting crowded and I might need a pool.

I enjoyed the Marionette very much, you can keep Tequatl and the Wurms as they too boring. Once through that content was enough. However you had a hard time stopping me doing the Marionette. I really enjoyed the schedule. But after every battle someone or other was always yelling out to ask how we did on Home Server! We cared. I think this is going to make a sense of loyalty to a home server redundant. And It’s going to make it harder for the WvW to recruit or get help in LA. No point of going to LA and asking everyone to come help if your bad guys hear you.

We have a lot of skills you need to learn to use both your healing and your damage skills. You need to work for yourself and others too. We all have both healing and damage skills everyone should be responsible for themselves and help the others when possible.

I always take my offensive skills 1-5 and with the last 4, I try and take one or 2 skills that will help the group. Often these group help skills will also do damage for you.

When your in a big group target the champion first do some damage then you can check to see if you need to do support. Also being in a group seems to help as you get some credit for damage others in your party do. You might not get as much loot as maybe some others but the point of WvW is to take and keep the targets for your server not necessarily get loot. Try and think of the loot as a nice bonus. I always feel the battles are so big and we move so fast I think I’m leaving loot behind I cannot find anyway.

I tend to agree but am willing to give it a chance. We are going to have to give it some time and wait and see. I agree that the Marionette and like events worked fine as they were done grouping many servers into overflows and we accomplished quite a lot that way.

But I do think that your image as a member of a place is going to disappear. I remember thinking I wish I could do these events on my Home Server. And after every event when we were back on Home we were always asking how Home server did. So it’s nothing to be taken lightly. Our self awareness is going to suffer.

I waited in line for about 2 hours all together got stuck at #1 for at least a half hour then finally got the slider. Pushed travel got a message box would I like to get in line for the battleground.

Grinding dungeons just is boring, doing dungeons is just boring. Doing events again and again is just boring but quests are lots of fun especially if they are always different.

The idea would work something like this. You have a pet bar and you pick if you want your pet to be real or for you to take on his spirit. Each pet could have a different spirit. You would get a couple of skills on the new pet bar that would relate to if your using bear or spider or moa or cat. Then you would get a buff for using the spirit animal instead of the real one.

So this way you could solo with your real animal or become a better fighting force in a group with a spirit animal. This would still keep the basic ranger pet aspect of the class but update it so interaction with other classes would be better.

This class has been taking a lot of hits lately. The Marionette for one, all I heard is turn off your puppy pet. I hate dungeons for that reason too many players too willing to tell you how bad or just how to play. It ruins the game.

But here’s the deal we are set up to use the pet which is just fine as your soloing around. But you get in other situations and maybe the pet is setting off bombs and killing other players as in the Marionette. Your only choice is to turn it off. Some places you can use a spider who mainly attacks from behind you. You can use yourself and a ranged pet instead of the tank. But your pet is 45-50% of your damage and build and if you just turn it off you take a big hit on how effective you are.

So why are we not compensated for this when we turn off the pet? When the pet goes off we should take on the power and effectiveness of both. Maybe they need to put in Spirit pets that don’t actually do anything but buff you. Instead of running a bear you could take on Bears Spirit and maybe get some special skills on the skill bar above the regular skills where the bear skills usually are.

As most people say the pet is 50% of the rangers build so there should be a way to turn off the pet and transfer the pets 50% or so back to the ranger.

The trinity from other games needs to stay there. GW2 works just fine as it is. You just have to learn to be responsible for yourself and give the other player a hand when he needs it. Simple and effective.

Yes my favorite was the stick figures!

Because players need the pristine spores and nature abhors a vacuum and the spores have spread like kudzu!

1. Marionette Battle.
2. Lots of achieves to do. In the absence of quests at level 80 I do the Achievements.
3. Escape from Lyons Arch and the Knight Battle and Killing Scarlet I will put in as one because really it was one big party.

I have 11 level 80 toons now. I’m working on getting the all their ascended armor and weapons but it would be nice if you could go to the Vigil or Priory or Whispers or Seraph and get quests. We have all these groups that have very little to do in the ongoing day to day play. Why not use them. Not the same 5 revolving quests but lots of different ones that take you all over the world. I’m talking big eventful long winded quests. Adventures that make you happy. Like the renowned hearts but bigger. Quests. Things to do that interact with our favorite NPC’s. The priory could send you to Zojja who would like you to find a part for Taimi’s golem. And the race is on and when you find the part and make Taimi’s life so much easier you can revel in the accomplishment and the reward too!

They don’t always respond but it’s the only place you have a chance of getting them to listen and they do have people who read them. So if you want to give your input it’s your only chance.
