I think it’s still fun. 3 80s, all 3 Orders, all the crafting, I made a legendary. Don’t regret any of it. A little burnt out on farming after crafting a legendary, so now I spend most of time in WvW. Some parts of the game definitely need attention. Some more than others. But this is a very easy yet effective mmo. Will be hard to go back to older titles after it, unless you are looking for a lot of heavy coordinated harder content.
Legendary kits would be nice, but AT LEAST they should give us our aura and footprints while in kit form. Not sure why they made it so it disappears while in kit. I mean I still have the legendary equipped. Engineers have very little legendary options, and we still got the short end of the stick on top of that. I have predator, and the only spell that has a visual is our auto attack, and traited grenade barrage (if you use it). Would love to see the effort they may with grenade barrage brought to some other spells, like surprise shot, battering ram, wrench throw, for those who don’t use grenades. It’s obvious engineers are kind of the punching bag of the professions. A little love would be nice.
Another suggestion would be for toolkit to repair WvW sieges, like it does our turrets. This would give us the option to help out our teams in an impacted way like the mesmer does with portals. Just a thought.
Buff our #2 downed skill or replace it with something helpful outside TPvP.
Remove the self-knockdown on Rifle #5 Overcharged Shot and on the Rocket Boots gadget.
I like these too. Our down state is imo the weakest in game. Putting #3 (booby trap) in #2 spot would be a nice change. Maybe make the empty slot drop a healing turret instead. Just some thoughts. The grapple doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. Why would you want to pull a mob closer to you , unless it’s to use Booby Trap. Or maybe make the grapple ground targeted, and instead of pulling a mob to you, you pull yourself out of the area you are in.
While they are at it, add gemmed name changes like the make over kits. I’m sure this will generate a lot of money. Not sure why this wasn’t an option months ago.
What are some reasonable changes you would like to see for our class in the upcoming months?
1) Middle range class doesn’t work imo. Feels clunky. Everything else is either melee or range. I would love to ditch “rifle barrels” and make default range for rifle #1 and #2 1200, #3 900/400, #4 and #5 900.
2) Grenade #1 to be auto attack like the underwater version. ( the rest can be ground targeted much like the necro staff. )
Not sure if this is a problem on my end or others have this issue. When having the Predator equip, grenade barrage use to have a matching effect. It no longer does. Also sometimes when kit swapping or going into combat, my aura doesn’t show around my player. Anyone else with this issue?
Warrior hands down for most played. I did this in WvW and LA one day. Just started targeting random people. Seemed I was targeting a warrior about half of the time. Engy/Necro for least played. Those professions need a lot of fixes, but yet every patch seem to get looked over.
I’m sure it’s intended. Just found out the completely changed the sound on my legendary rifle. So upset now. All that work to get one, and they change the sound, one of the reason I pushed for that one.
The shot sound on the legendary Predator rifle has a different sound now. What gives? Is this an audio bug or intended? I miss my old scifi sound already.
Like others have stated, it was the original intent of the game. Gem transfers, and guesting. The guesting was broken at launch, so they made free transfers to allow people to play with their friends. Shouldn’t be a surprise that they are changing it to what it was suppose to be all this time.
Has this been brought up yet? As I’m bouncing around between pve and wvw I’m noticing this little annoyance. Any chance of getting gear presets added to game. One click changes between my pve/pvp/MF sets. Or any plans for added dual specs into game?
A little peeve I’m noticing with Static Shot while I level my engineer. Can we make it so it doesn’t bounce to neutral mobs, unless that neutral mob is already red (aggroed). Static shot normally gets used on cooldown. Gets a little annoying , when it’s constantly pulling things like moas and other mobs you didn’t want to fight, but just because they were near by. The bounce has a pretty big size range. A little thought for us engineers.
I did before. The game started off great. As of the last couple of weeks I wouldn’t. A lot of the people I played with moved on to other games already, or went back to their old one. I’m strongly thinking of doing the same. If GW2 wasn’t free to play, I would definitely of been gone already.
I don’t understand why they just didn’t start making legendary armor. One piece at a time, instead of a new tier. Example, legendary cloak(back) or gloves(light/medium/heavy) with minor-mild graphics. This could of solved the carrot problem by giving the dedicated, something to work towards. Also giving an option to those who want a legendary, but don’t care for the weapon skin of their profession. Also engineers who use kits.
Not sure If i’m quitting or not yet. It’s free so meh. But I’m very disappointed in the direction right now and might take a very long break soon, if not for good. I find myself wanting to log in less and less. Then I found out about the one time event chest. Totally not the game I thought GW2 was going to be. I will probably focus on RL issues in the upcoming months and definitely keep my eye on Elder Scrolls Online. Was a huge fan of Skyrim, Oblivion, & Morrowind.
I lost about 800-1000 myself. not sure whats going on. I don’t see others in my guild with a huge drop like mine. I’m liking this game less and less everyday.
Would like to see some changes on dyes. First would really like it if maybe lower the drop rate on dyes but make they account bound. This would make the price for dyes go up while at the same time not strain the players who like to collect rares and have alts. Another possible change would be, much like the ranger pet tab, make all the dyes visible, but shade out the ones not collected yet. Some people out there like myself, like to build a collection. Kind of a catch them all thing. Gives the visualization of working towards a collection goal. Just some ideas.
Should add a feature for maybe 400-600 gems that will allow you a one time, recustomization for character. I’m not talking story or anything. Just the first part. Height, body size, facial features etc. Maybe set it up so after purchase, log out and log in and the first character you log into will prompt the recustomization. I’m sure a lot of people wish they can redo their character, could be a good way to promote more gem purchases.
Just luck I assume. I had one drop. Was some medium armor piece i couldn’t use. I didn’t have a crazy amount of MF gear on at the time. Maybe just a peach bar buff, if that, I don’t remember. I know others who have had one as a drop as well. I think it’ just one of those things that’s very very rare.
I agree. The way i see it, effort should determine wealth, not a stat. I personally wish they would change MF to something else. The name doesn’t even make sense. Should be changed to extra loot find.
They should just make Biflame same model. Maybe different color like silver or a woodish color. Just change the effects to flame trails, foot prints. This would make something neutral for everyone. 2 greatswords , 2 staffs. Lighter and a darker feel for both. I’m going to side with many others on saying that every weapon really got the middle child syndrome except the greatswords. Seems those were given a little more love than the rest.
When I read up on the game before the first beta, i had a completely different expectation of what the personal story was going to be. I thought it was going to be more like Skyrim. Where you had to go around and get involved in the community to access more stories. Going for an Order would be like joining the Thieves Guild or something. Completely by choice. Was a little let down that the personal story ended up being so linear with the exception of (spoiler)Trehearn asking you for the millionth time how you want to handle something, like you were the one in charge. I hate how the story takes a different course every 10 levels. For humans, I was way more interested in my friendship with Petra and her father, or Lord Faren, or what happened to my parents, and that was over faster than it started. Basically I’m kind of let down by the stories. Too short, too forced. How many characters would you have to make to see them all? I would much rather have more in depth stories, leveling, and start the orders at 80 to spread things out.
I’m fine with magic find on a consumable or guild banner. I don’t care for it on gear. Effort should determine wealth, not the gear you have on. That’s just my opinion though.
Sorry if this thread has been mentioned. Would like to see more done with your Home Instance. Is there really a point to it other than the couple parts of the story that take place there? I was excited prelaunch when they talked about every player having a collection of stuff as you progress in you home instance that would reflect your journey. All I see is a couple npcs with little to no dialog. And I’m level 80 and almost done with my story. Would love to see some creative ideas about it. Maybe offer players an instant port to it so not everyone is using the mists to go to Lions Arch for free. Maybe some mini games to get rewards. Maybe some banners to show accomplishments.
Customer support is horrible in this game. Just garbage. anet is hiding a phone number, I’m assuming due to the volume of people with account issues. Nothing worse than being locked out of your hacked account you paid for, having support on their time schedule, not yours, and while you wait they tell you it’s your fault for not have a password that looks like ij3jd390jd2908j2980j1jjsanoioiq0984.
My wife’s account was just hacked a little bit ago. It amazes me that ANet blames us for the password we use. Hers wasn’t an easy one. Yet so many people are getting hacked daily. Could it be our fault at this point or does Anet have a major flaw in their security they are trying to hide? She didn’t click any links or open any emails. She was asleep when it happened. I saw her character online. Trying to get an Anet phone number. Of course none. Not even through google. Pulled up better business bureau info. They are gaining a lot of complaints in recent days. Maybe for the same reason as our issue. Now she has to wait how many days now? I’m starting to lose faith in this company already which is sad because I like the game.
LOL. I agree somewhat. I really wish the level 1-10 quests would of went into depth to 80 and beyond. I thought me and Petra and her father would of had more story thann the first 4 quests. Now they just say the same thing in home instance. Those npcs/quests interested me more and just went downhill more and more past 10.
Agree. Kind of bummed out about it, and not too thrilled about finishing my personal story. My 1-20 quests were the best. Something I would see in a movie. I wish those parts were longer, especially since it had to do choices I made upon character creation. Would of like those to go into more depth.
Some conversations/characters are quite badly made, yes. There’s Rytlock, a very good voice (Steve Blum never fails) from which voice you can recognize authority and threat, then there’s Trahearne… Some chars can be beared, but mother of god, Trahearne’s acting is horrendous. It really feels like he does not care at all about anything.
Agree. To me the start of my personal story was awesome so much fun. I was sucked in. Then the higher in level I got the worse the acting got. I see a lot of Trahearne now, and he just isn’t believable as a shot caller.
All 3 zones seem the same really. Some gorgeous zones. And then we get to the last 3 in orr and they all seem to look like one another. I know it’s the theme. Made me really enjoy Frostsound. It’s a little crazy in there. I’m going to say maybe because beta testers didn’t get up to those zones much. Very hard to even afk, check your map, or even respond to chat sometimes without there being 2 mobs beating on you. Very aggressive. The events bug a lot. WPs being contested makes traveling between events rough, then you have to deal with the run through sea of mobs. Would like to also see a larger range which your map shows events, since their isn’t hearts here.
Yes!! x100. It’s not game breaking. Maybe I’m just too use to the years of WoW. But I often try to right click guildies in chat or player in map to see what level they are or zone they are in or guild they are in. A little inconvenient when a guildie asks a question and you have to open the guild pane and scroll to find them and see their information. Especially when our guild has over 400 people, when 90ish are actively on at once.
If i’m not mistaken, there isn’t any trial accounts currently. So the gold sellers are possibly using the hacked accounts to get the messages out there. Why would they want to risk their own accounts? So banning those spammers isn’t going to do much because the hacked player would want their account back. They need to fix the security hack problem and I bet we see fewer spammers.
Ah you know you’re a gamer when you recognize characters’ voices. I did come across a couple who I have to been the same voice actors from a couple Skyrim npcs. And who can forget Nolan North. Human male voice, also Drake from Uncharted and Desmond from Assassin’s Creed.
I’m just getting about 1-3 a day. I just report them. Although since there isn’t any trial accounts that I’m aware of atm, it’s probably coming from the many people who’s accounts have been hacked recently.
Tis a sad day.
