The game needs it badly but instead we get new ridiculously priced items (with juicy RNG) in gem store. Look at Skyrim for example, not only the game looks significantly better (modded of course) but in same amount of time they’ve achieved ~double frame rate. Time to optimize gw2, this is not a looker like Crysis 3 and should run waaay better than it is.
What i want is new armors. I don’t care about increased stats i just want freaking new looks. In nine months we got NADA, not a single new armor, gg.
Technically, the Living Story is an expansion. It’s just not a typical expansion players are used to.
Currently, Arenanet is unsure of whether they want to release expansions in boxes that or just make it a part of the game, similar to the Living Story, ergo free.
More like a poor man’s DLC that you feel rippedoff after buying, thanks god their living story crap is free…
That’s why i don’t know a single sane person who enjoyed the campaign. I skipped every single cutsceen because dialogue made my ears bleed, voice acting made my brain explode and cutsceens themselves were eye exploding. ‘kiddy’ is the category i’d class gw2’s story. A young kid may enjoy it or an old person who’s tired of everything and actually want the stupid goofiness but not your average gamer who bought this game to play it daily.
Dear goodness.
I knew it would be bad, but that is just taking it to a ridiculous extreme. Seriously 500 dust, fragments, and ore? You have got to be kidding me. And it’s time gated to make it even worse.
What did they expect of this? Was this designed to be fun?
As if they knew what fun is supposed to be (looking at the passed year and their added content)…
Its players that are disappointed by ArenaNet
I don’t understand it either. instead of giving us the first pve content or a new pvp game mode they’re giving a time gated crafting level increase. Talk about adding wrong content… with anet im not surprised at all though.
GW2 is a MMO, it has to have some time-gated content to keep you playing.
All this does is say “F this i’m out”. There’s ZERO fun in waiting days to craft a freaking material… Like where’s the excitement? Even camping a rare boss that spawns once a week would’ve been 10000% more exciting than craft a freaking mat when you need tones just for one armor piece. You don’t nerf the game to the ground, kitten rng, DR and time gated content to make people play, you give them content with long lasting appeal such as a game that wasn’t even an mmo called GW1 had. Its really pathetic where they’re going, just sayin
Laziness is the answer and you know its true.
MMO or not, not having DX11 support in a PC EXCLUSIVE title released in 2012 is a joke especially when games run better in dx11.Guild Wars 1 w3as originally a DX8 game . Took them until Factions’ release to make the game DX9 .
No DX11 is a crime against any computers built after 2009 .
Only the most blind fanboy would still defend Anet at this point.
The game is a mess on most fronts. From SPvP, WvW to the PvE side. Not properly tested updates and badly designed content is running rampant.Anyone who starts a post like this doesn’t deserve to be taken seriously. Essentially you’re saying if you don’t agree with me, you’re not only a fan boy, but blind.
No one is saying the game is perfect, but as far as MMOs go, for some of us, this is the best that’s out there. It may not make it a great game, but it does make it the only choice in MMO for some people.
its you who don’t deserve to be taken seriously. Every single day you come on here to prove hundreds of other players how ‘swell’ gw2 is doing when the large majority of this forum/in game agrees that gw2 is lacking and lacking on all fronts from pve to spvp or wvw. So keep telling yourself its the best game ever made all you want but its sadly not the case and with latest updates/patches its only getting worst. I also like how you call everyone troll/hater if they say something negative about gw2, typical forum fanboy.
the pvp is the most balanced you’ve seen ever? LOL is this your first video game?
As someone who is running a Direct X 11 card, I have only one thing to say
I really could not give less of a kitten about GW2 running on 9 instead of 11
Why? Don’t you like this game’s art style? Your character’s and his/her armor details? You don’t want to see this game run better? Pretty ignorant if you ask me, because DX11 makes everything above BETTER
A brand new armor for 800 gems.
this is not the champ fault but the fact that EVERYTHING in this game is nerfed and there’s nothing farmable. You cannot have an mmo without farming spots because you know for a fact tones of people enjoy farming. If there was other places worth farming, champ zergs wouldn’t even be half as big as they’re but since there’s absolutely nothing in this game but this, everyone is doing it.
I would do a lot of stuff for gw2 to look half decent. Imagine if it running with Frostbite 3 (look at DA: Inquisition gameplay) looks amazing and has more destruction than 2 breakable boxes… This will never happen tho. They decided to stay with the same outdated engine just like CoD and its quake 3 engine released in 1999.
Perfectly said. Its 2013 and they have no plans to upgrade to DX11 rofl. Milking gem store is more important than offering a smooth and fun experience for your fanbase. I wish the current team working on FF14 came for gw2, they’re doing absolutely everything possible to please their players and are already building a DX11 patch while anet doesn’t even dream about it.
ITS THE FRACTAL HAMMER! I’ve wanted it since I first laid eyes upon it in November!
I have 4, no characters to use it on, would’ve given you one for free if this game wasn’t called Account Bound Wars 2.
90% of the ascended stuff is time-gated so the hardcore players can’t have their ascended items in a day. Instead, by time-gating this content, casual players and hardcore players are on equal footing.
In fact, it isn’t just 90% time-gated on ascended. Almost all content in Guild Wars 2 is time-gated so as to level the playing field for casuals and hardcores.
Guild Wars 2 is still 100% casual. How can I assume that? Well, I’m a hardcore player myself, and I can say that there is absolutely, positively, no hardcore content in this game at this time.
You’re soooo wrong… What kind of so called ‘casual’ have the astronomical amount of gold needed to reach 500 and then actually start crafting the weapon? This isn’t aimed at casuals but grind bots/hardcore crowd.
You could say its the best MMO (which isn’t saying much lolz) but best game ever where there’s games such as RDR, Bioshock, Fallout, Dark/Demon’s Souls ect is just funny. GW1 is much better than GW2 btw but since it isn’t an mmo i guess gw2 holds the title for the best mmo.
you can’t nerf a toilet
i want dueling, dueling with my pve gear, not being limited to garbage pvp amulets.
Zero. I will only support Anet with expansions and not kittening flutes and stupid Boom Boxes. Since game was launched i bought 2 profane armors, 1 phoenix set, 3 makeover tools and like 40 fine stones, all with in game money. There isn’t even anything else worth buying on their store.
they ripoff everyone with fine stones which you HAVE to buy no matter what, there’s no other option
Very good suggestion but i’d personally preferred if stealth lasted a week.
In one year gw2 is missing on more stuff than games in pre alpha stage.
Mod jon_peters: you have to actively react to all the passive things going on
Mod jon_peters: so its still very reactionary and there is still a LOT of skill in spirit ranger
He went ham on this one, respect
Can you just imagine fps during this fight the first time he appears? Everyone will be in under 10fps and we’re supposed to dodge stuff? were they even thinking for a sec or just release “content everyone been asking for”?
Would have been much easier to ask what we like, list would’ve been much shorter and not a wall of text.
there’s no end game. The only end game content i can think of is standing in a city like LA afk, that’s gw2’s end game.
can we have a fractal exclusive armor? why is it every dungeon in the game has its armor set and not fractals that are much harder than the others? and if there is one coming, i want pants on light armor for once and trench coats on medium armor aren’t allowed.
Good to see almost everyone is negative about their crappy ‘waste of new content’ jumping puzzles and only a couple of fanboys who will consider anything delivered by anet as 2nd coming of jesus appreciating their jumping puzzles. Hopefully they see this thread and start delivering the rpg element of this game instead of yet another mini this and that… How is it that in close to a year we received only one significant thing, fractals? Stop adding goofy crap and give me the reason to log in!!! adding a flute to gem store isn’t one…

So, what is the exact reason after all these months devs did nothing knowing people will have tones of ascended rings? Is it because they’re too easy to get? Please don’t tell me because they’re ‘too easy to get’ when it took many people week(s) to get 2… This is just ridiculous that i need to make a character just to store ascended crap and its not like i will ever merch ascended level items (i did merch 7 cuz they were soulbind to one character on which im not using them anymore). How many more months until i can do something useful with these!?
What’s the guild called, Nerf Me Moar Bro?
Now that we can rent server with OUR money and set the rules, why not allow us use pve gear if we want to?

What would DX11 bring to GW2? Graphics don’t make a game, gameplay does. And GW2 has the best gameplay of any MMO by a long shot.
optimization is what it brings, removes ugly ps2 quality textures almost everything in gw2 has, adds tesalletion that removes the blockyness of this game as if gw2 came out in 2003 or something. go google DX11… there’s plenty of VERY useful things it has and not a single game would be better without it.
crafting is a form of progression.
every other MMO out there has great icentives for lvling up crafting
WoW for example lets u craft gear that is the same tier as the current raid. and lets u sell to players.
its about time u had crafting so you can be self sufficant and start learning how mmos work.
Crafting is not progression, it’s a style of gameplay. A style that only a section of the player base in each MMO take part in.
You know nothing about MMOs.
+1. GW2 is starting to show how simplistic and none existent end game is in this game when people call things such as crafting end game rofl.
They already increased their CD, decrease iMariner’s damage by 40-50%, gave them 0.25 (or was it 0.5?) before attacking, izerker close to NEVER hits 4 times as he was before Feb patch, gave them LoS in a game where LoS is a kittening joke, fail to spawn on block/blind/invul/dodge so wtf are they trying to accomplish here? and who the f asked for a phantasm nerf especially in current meta? Like wuuuut?
this better cost under 10g because its in the top fugliest armors i’ve seen in an rpg
From what i’ve learned they have a failure of an engine with outdated servers, they can’t do anything anymore.
Was gw1 aimed at facebook gamers? because GW2 certainly is.
He’s from God of War 3 and when you release him he goes back to that game
Lowering resolution helps too.
lol you’re suggesting to lower rez (from only 1080p) in 2013 o.O . I’m not playing on a Dell pc from bestbuy lol lowering rez should NEVER be an option.
Anet already stated that the “precursor scavenger hunt” it’s not gonna be crafting related in latest pax interview. And yes it will very expensive and hard to grind it’s just gonna be an alternative to buying it from the TP that’s all.
Legendaries need to stay unique.
To stay unique, they first need to become unique…
Also, LOL at that bday presents, everyone gets same crap, there’s no variation of minis but all get same things and it can’t even be sold cuz its acc bound as always /yawn can’t wait for a scroll after 1y of playing!
^its for girls who like to show their haircut and brogamers who want to show their CoD KD while drinking a Corona lol
MMO or not, not having DX11 support in a PC EXCLUSIVE title released in 2012 is a joke especially when games run better in dx11.Guild Wars 1 w3as originally a DX8 game . Took them until Factions’ release to make the game DX9 .
No DX11 is a crime against any computers built after 2009 .
Having it in Direct X 11 would upset people with Direct X 10 cards, which there is still a fairly high number of compared to DX9 cards now. I could see this game going as far as DX10 for now but not DX11 and I highly doubt GW2 will upgrade to DX10 to begin with. If there is a ‘Guild Wars 3’ game in the future, maybe it will use Direct X 11. But it doesn’t really matter though, the game looks great either way.
Also wouldn’t this topic be better suited for the Tech support forums?
Why would it upset anyone? DX11 support doesn’t mean DX9 won’t be supported anymore… DX11 would be for those who own a gaming rig and DX9 for those gaming on a computer from Bestbuy lol
I liked it more than gw1 for the first month. Now i have no reason to even log in… Nothing to do isn’t something that happened to me in gw1 ever. I prefer graphics and fast combat of gw2 and everything else is better in gw1.
all three ascended armors looks atrocious just wow. whoever is designing armors for gw2 needs to find a new job
