Guild Wars 2

The FOV is currently set around 45-50 for widescreen resolutions.
16:9 and 16:10
If you compare the FOV for 4:3 resolution you will see how it should be.

The only way to fix the FOV is to download the tool that lets you change it.
Just go to the widescreen gaming site and get it, www.wsgf.org

You think Anet would fix something as simple as this but it looks like they just going to ignore it.

edit: well the reddit Q&A seems to show we might get a FoV slider or fix soon…

agree with OP
pets right now are pretty broken and useless in wvw/spvp and over in Orr
since I kite… the mobs move and well moving mob = pet not attacking and mobs over in Orr ignore your pet anyway

it’s bugged right? please tell me this is not working as intended…. if so cheap lazy code by Anet

I’ve had this happen 3 or 5 times.

^^
What Refugee said… there should be some sort of fail safe coded so the events eventually reset or the npc’s become unstuck and work by talking to them.

On Tarnished Coast I think with my Ranger, Domaris I’ve earned a rep for running/farming events and helping other players with my Healing Spring and stopping to res downed players and tanking the Champion/Veteran mobs with my bear.

If you main a Ranger people will take notice and want to group or run with you for the events.

I have this happen all the time.(Ranger using Short/Long Bow)
The dev’s are not responding to this bug yet so I think it’s intentional on their part.

Changing zones has no effect on the DR you still hit it.
Some people need to stop posting stuff when it’s obvious they don’t know what they’re talking about.

Going to take a break from the game till they fix the Ranger class.
I just don’t feel like leveling alts with the zones empty and the events and loot drops being so punishing right now thanks to the DR and anti-farm code.

Really starting to see too many rushed out nerfs and untested… not very well thought out changes.

So hard to love a game yet be treated this way.

Still having problems on Tarnished Coast with ore nodes not spawning or respawning.
Will this be fixed soon?

I never said thanks but I do appreciate Jon taking the time to give us a response and for what it’s worth thanks.

I saw it said earlier to change the DR drastic, I don’t think that is needed at all.
It just needs fine tuned so that if you catch several events up close together and or run several chain events or fail and then forced to repeat a chain event… this is where the DR system is coming on and hurting the regular player.

Never mind the players and zerg who speed through events and kill the champions in record time and move fast, they need to calm down and spread out.

I hope Anet looks into the problems with having only one level 80 zone and the AoE tagging of mobs by zerging and the problem with invisible mobs caused by so many people in a given area zerging the event and making mobs and players invisible.

Jon while we got your attention do you think the problem with waypoint cost could be scaled down so the cost of travel actually matches your level?
This would go a long way in solving the cost of waypoint travel if you did this, since the reward payout in the lower level zones would match the travel cost.

Did the restart do anything?
I’m about to login now and play some… but was just curious if anything has changed since the restart.
I would hate to push to hard or use a karma booster only to be hit by the DR and have it wasted.

Just felt like you was throttling us to much and forcing us to play at slower pace and skip events to avoid the DR.
Also the fact you sell karma boosters for real money then implemented the DR system so you hit it before the karma booster wore off shows you didn’t think out what you was doing and just rushed it out which leaves a bad taste in the players mouth.

Amiron.1067:

I agree; the DR is cruel to players who just have a lot of time on our hands. We don’t want socialism! Can you please give us a response ANet? A lot of us are confused and just want some insight as to what’s going on. :T

QFT

I also would like Anet to address this problem!
Regular players are being punished for playing out events.
I’m a very unhappy customer and feel like I’m being punished by this DR system.

Why would you make end-game evolve around events and the meta game for collecting and gaining certain items such a grind and then within one month try to implement this DR system which totally goes against the core design of the game.

Right now you have one level 80 zone and that is a major source of the problem.
Cursed Shore is very very crowded and full out to the brim with people trying to do events and get karma.
The zerg can be so bad it can make the invisible mob/npc bug happen and this a very game breaking bug.

Please Anet think over what you’re doing and look at how you designed GW2…

I play 4+ hours every night and hit the DR in Cursed Shore easy.
If I catch the events right and run with a good group it’s very common to hit the DR in Cursed Shore within the first 30-40min of being there after not having played the game for over 8hrs the DR system kicks in after doing to many events to fast.
The only way to stop the DR system is to stop doing events and wait.

Sorry but I’m not gonna be told how to spend my time or how to play GW2.
I will move on and find another MMO to play.
This is punishing the player for playing the game!

The core design for end-game and mechanics of playing end-game go against the DR which they have poorly implemented.
There is but one level 80 zone and it is badly over crowded and full of people zerging and botting.
The over crowding causes the mobs to be invisible.

Right now if you do to many events in a set period of time the DR system will punish you, it does not matter if you change zones to do events or logout… it has to do with how many events you do in a given time frame.

So if you’re good and push and strive to go fast and do as many as you can, you will be hit by the DR system.
In Cursed Shore the events give 378 karma and when the DR is in full effect they give 19 karma.

Anet this is why I’m quitting Guild Wars 2 and finding me another game to play.
I will not be punished for playing a game the way you designed it then within the first month ruined with a quick rushed out heavy handed nerf to the very design and mechanics to your end-game.

You’re failing your players Anet.

Sorry but when I’m fighting on level ground with the mob right in front of me or if I’m on a hill attacking down I don’t think I deserve to see 2 out of 6 attacks saying obstructed.

The evaded, invulnerable stuff is there also…

But this kitten obstructed bug needs fixed.

I’m sick and tired of being on level flat perfect ground with nothing around and the mob or player right in front of me and having the obstructed error pop up every 2 out 6 attacks.

The DR kicks in when you do events to fast, it’s based on how many events you do in a set time.
Switching zones or logging out does not reset it or effect it.

You switch zones, the DR does not care.
You do to many events in a set time the DR kicks in and has to wear off.

So you are being punished for doing the end-game.

DR goes against the very core of GW2’s design and mechanics for end-game and also makes buying karma boosters stupid.

Very disappointed in Anet over this and won’t play their game or use the cash shop anymore till they fix this.

It has nothing to do with one spot.
It has to do with how many events you do in a set amount of time.

If you keep doing events, it does not matter if you change zones or logout now the DR will hit you if you do to many in a set amount time.

Orr events give 378 karma and with the DR in full effect they give 19 karma.

Guess I’m find another mmo to play as this one has went down the kitten quick and I won’t play an mmo that goes against it’s core game design and end-game mechanics.

Anet is really failing it’s players at this point.

Still seeing the Spirit of Nature not res.
The bears F2 special not removing a condition.
The ranged attacks for bows are constantly getting the obstructed error.

Tarnished Coast = 0 nodes spawning also

Same problem here on Tarnished Coast server.

The DR is based on how may events you do in a set time period.
So you’re punished for doing to many events in a set time period, or trying to do them fast or move between them fast.

The DR as it’s implemented does nothing to stop bots as they stand around in one place and just do their thing waiting so they’re not triggering the DR cause enough time is passing between the event they farm.

The DR system as it’s implemented now does nothing to stop bots.
They stand or stay in one place so they’re not hitting the time limit of doing to many events to fast.

It’s time related, how fast you do the events or move from event to event.
If you push and go to fast the DR system hits fast and hard and just punishes you for playing the game.

Seeing the same thing, I’ve stopped playing the game now and have took to posting on the forums to let them know how I feel.

This is a horrible way to punish your players Anet and goes against the very design and mechanics of the game you made.

You’re failing your players Anet.

It’s horrible right now on my server.

The ZERG is so bad in Cursed Shore they cause the invisible bug so mobs never show or only one does or a few.

People just stand or AOE where they spawn.

Really disappointed with how this is going and the fact having one level 80 zone is not working. It’s way over crowded.

The ZERG is so bad on my server it causes stuff to be invisible and not show up.
And when it does or even if it does show for split second, the massive amount of AOE damage being done has everything dead.

So you just AOE in the spots you know the mobs come or pop and hope you tag something.

Really is horrible and so is the kitten DR system they have in place.
All is does is goes against the design and mechanics of the game and punishing you for playing the game the way they intended.

So Anet tell us now again how we should play your game please?

Having one level 80 zone is not working.
The zone Cursed Shore is packed out and crowded and people run around in the ZERG!
It is so bad that the invisible mob thing happens nonstop, you can never see the mobs for the events and even when you do they’re dead because of the massive amount of AOE damage being done.

This can not be how Anet wanted end-game GW2 to be… and on top of trying to battle the ZERG to do events in Cursed Shore you now have the DR system punishing you and it no longer resets when you logout.

This is game is going down hill for me.

After the patch tonight you can no longer logout and login and the DR go away….
Very disappointed with Anet as this DR goes against the very design of the game.

Not very well thought out dev’s, you know you have only one level 80 zone that is crowded to hell and being run full on by the ZERG!!!!

Please tell me how to play Guildwars 2 end-game to get karma and proper level 80 drops when the game is the way it is right now?

You force people to run around AOE tagging at the events and when it’s so crowded the mobs are invisible or dead before they even show on the screen because the massive amount of AOE damaging being thrown around.

This can not be how you envisioned the end-game for GW2.

Think it’s time to find another free game to play.
Not gonna put up with such heavy handed tactics that go against the very design and mechanics of the game.

You really missed the boat with this Anet and are failing your player base.

Very disappointed.

Did this patch fix the Spirit of Nature not ressing people right next to it?
And the new bug I’ve been seeing is the bear’s special ability remove condition is not working and no longer removes a condition.

Will post back after testing the bear and spirit tonight, but I saw nothing about these bugs in the notes so will just assume they’re still broken.

Also what about the bug with the long bow/short bow and always getting the obstructed error when stuff is right in front of you on level ground.
I tested fighting a giant that was on level ground while I was on a small hill and so while on elevated ground above the giant and shooting down I still got the error!

So would Anet please let us know what is being done to fix this.

Spirit of Nature is not ressing people in my party, tested this many times last night with the spirit right on the person, beside the person etc and it would not res.
Is this a known bug or does anyone know what is going on with this spirit?

Would also like to say the ranged attack always saying obstructed or whatever needs fixed, this is ruining my damage! And the person can be right in front of me on level ground and this error message pops up for 2 out of every 6 attacks it seems.

/signed

I agree with what the OP said.

Some zones this is true, the events don’t pop or you must talk to a npc to trigger the event.
Right now many events and npc’s are bugged and not working so depending on your server and which zone you’re in you can see what the OP is saying happen.

This is happening on Tarnished Coast as well.

If this keeps up people will just find a more rewarding and fun mmo to play.
Lots free to play mmo’s still out there… just not the new kid on the block like GW2 is right now.

Once the newness wears off and it’s starting to already people won’t put up with this rushed fixes that break the game and go against the games design and mechanics.

Hopefully Anet see’s what they’re doing wrong before it’s to late and fixes the problem that they’re causing.

I hope they fix it soon, I had it happen also over in the Cursed Shore zone of Orr and ended up getting 19 karma for a reward at the end of the event chain and fighting the last champion which took 8 minutes or longer I know.

Everyone in the end-game zones of Orr are complaining in the map chat about this, people are standing around in the cities like Lions Arch and also complaining.

Anet has seriously screwed up with these rushed out supposed fixes… they’re not very well thought out and go against the design of the game and it’s mechanics.

At the same time every zone is suffering from stuck npc’s, broke and bugged events and bugged skill points.
Some of these are serious and game breaking like not being able to open the dungeon Arah which has been broken on every server it seems for the past 4 or 5 days now.

Hopefully the patch this Monday fixes it.

Just had this happen as you guys are describing it.
This is pretty much ruined the game for me and made running around in a zone punish you for trying to do events and get rewarded or collect karma so you can get the armor.

So the developer’s take time to push out this rushed heavy handed diminishing return system that feels flawed and bugged and ruins the game for regular players…. yet they can’t fix the broke and bugged npc’s for events and the skill points?

Serious Anet get your act together before people end up stop playing and go find a fun mmo to play.
EQ2 and LoTRO and AoC are all F2P and still plenty fun.

I’ve noticed the same thing on my ranger.
Glad to see I’m not alone… hope they do something to fix this or at least adjust it.

I have to agree with OP, on the Tarnished Coast server several zones have broken skillpoints and events.
Makes it so you can’t complete the chain events and get the karma merchant npc at the end.
Wish they would make this a priority and fix these bugs.

This quest is also bugged like this on the Tarnished Coast server as is the Pirate skill point challenge in the same zone.
I hope they fix these soon.

I see others posting now about this same problem I just had.
Is the Trader currently bugged and will Anet give us or items back?

I just tried to sell a heavy shoulder armor item on the Trader and it took my item and did not give me any money or list my item for sale.

What do I need to do to get my item back or my money?
This was an exotic item so it was worth a good bit and this is very upsetting to me.
