Guild Wars 2

Dude, this is exactly how the game is supposed to be. Nodes are supposed to be random, if you’ve ever played a game like Runescape you would know how ultimately damaging it is to have the same locations for all the nodes.

The more random the better. I enjoy searching maps for nodes and killing enemies along the way.

option to still cast abilities at max range if you just slightly go to far instead of saying “target area too far.”

I think its about time we added a new feature to make completing world events much more meaningful.

As it stands all the events are being completed because players are being directed to all nearby events and especially since the mega servers went live this has meant that events are rarely failing. This is good!

However…I think an escalating system with a large map event at the end would be a terrific new mechanic. Take for instance the Brisban Wildlands; I was wondering around there and all of a sudden a flock of people run past me and go to defend the main hold. We hold off all the centaurs after a long battle and get a bit of karma. It was easy and the reward reflected that.

Now imagine if for every time we successfully defended the keep it increased in difficulty. Adding double mobs, extra hard hitting veterans etc. If we successfully united as a map and completed that defend event 10 times in a row then we would unlock a small new event with a large boss which dropped a chest for everyone.

This would be especially great when used in events like temple events where the boss could actually attack the temple on the 10th successful defend.

Anyone else think this would rock the hell out of Guild wars 2?

I didn’t make this video but I absolutely agree with everything he says. The devs REALLY need to watch this video and take some notes.

He isn’t completely slating ArenaNet and is giving them feedback in a clear manner. He gives both pros and cons of the new patch and I just want to bring this to the devs attention. I’m pretty sure they should have seen it already though.

Worth a watch and would like to know if everyone else agrees.

I actually find the rewards to be very good and I joined some guild mates on their first try to get my own achievements. It was actually very social.

I do think that maybe the dialogue should be skip-able after the first time completing the story though. Would really make things easier when doing achievements.

Currently I see a lot of threads talking about the defend events and how they are ruining it for people who want to do the actual boss.

The mega servers are fantastic and fighting along side all those people really has brought life back into the game! It’s not just that people that want to play the boss that miss out, it’s the people who have never done the previous events that also miss out.

The trick is to find a balance. I think a great solution would be to scale the defend event higher and higher each time it’s completed successfully. This would still give people a challenge and would also give people the opportunity to do the boss after defending a few times.

tl;dr Scale the defend event higher and higher each time it is succeeded consistently.

When I bought Guild wars 2 I bought it for ONE reason, to play all the classes and when I first logged on I realised all my profession traits were gated behind a stupid leveling system!

Imagine my dismay when I couldn’t unlock any of my skills until I reached level 40, 60 and 80.

Note the sarcasm*

I play a thief there are 3 things that make thieves unique.

*Initiative
*Stealing
*Shadowstepping

Thieves do steal items and in WvW it is a lot more co-ordinated as every class gives a different item.

If you want to play as an “Assassin” you should trait yourself exactly like that. Make your crit damage super high, super glassy and have hidden killer. You can basically be a thief that turns invisible appears from the shadows and deals SUPER high damage. You will have to use your stealth skills to escape after revealing yourself. I suggest 6 in Shadow Arts. (At least 3 anyway.)

Create your own story

Right? This would solve that problem also.

Sorry to hear that Vitthold but there are few things I think you should consider before ditching everything.

Traits
You can now change your builds at any time as has been stated above this post. With the new system you can change traits in an instant and they are colour coded for ease of assignment

Wasted Gold
You mentioned about buying trait books, well you might feel like you have wasted money but if you compare that to the people who are joining form this point on; it’s nothing. The new players have to buy each new trait with gold and skillpoints unless they do specific events in the world.

Empty World
As is also mentioned above they have just introduced mega servers into the game and it is more full than it ever was. I really hope you do give it a chance again, I’m only briefly popping on the forums because I can’t wait to get back in game!

Any reason you are taking pictures of females in bikinis from behind before the patch went live? lol
