Guild Wars 2

The golden yellow is ugly and not in the spirit of the GW Necromancer.

Today in a match I saw two different players (who were duo queued) pop up out of downed state after a few seconds with no one around rezzing them. I saw it on one player more than once. I dont have the player names, but I remember the guild tag if this needs to be looked into.

I have been playing GW since Prophecies and there has been a lot of changes made that seemed at the time to be us vs them. Nothing seems to have changed.

Terrible, who thought this up? You know, I tried my first pvp this last season and had a lot of fun ranking up to silver league. I had planned on continued ranking over the next season. Now I dont know if Ill even bother. I hate playing a game who has these kinds of people at the helm. If I weren’t playing pve with my grade school age daughter Id be gone from gw2 as of today.

I hope that the raid wing will not be the only new feature. What percentage of players actually raid?

I upgraded my daughters account with HoT the other day and I cannot buy her many of the items on the auction or sell there either. Validation?? the only validation you needed was my money.

They are charging that much for a perk that should have been given to all players for free? Not just free, but enough slots to at least transfer a set of jewelry and a weapon or two. Im glad that I uninstalled gw2 over the holidays.

While I believe that anet is lacking in vision from the top down, I feel for management in some way. Some of the reviews spoke of a noisy work area where it was hard to concentrate. If the employees are acting like a bunch of kids all the time I can see why management has to ride them. From everything I have seen of the anet staff, they lack any kind of discipline and professionalism. They go to work and industry events dressed like they are still college students rolling out of bed and late for class. If they want to act like kids they will get treated that way. Why pay industry standard salary for people who dont work hard enough to deserve it.

I havent read the whole thread, but wanted to state my opinion. As long as they don’t add ads to the game ui, I could care less if they try to point us to the BL shop. Players have a choice if they want to buy or not. From what I understand, NCsoft has a history of just shutting down games if they arent meeting the bottom line. I dont claim to know how they divide up the games profits, but Id assume that NCsoft takes most of it.

I would have bought the glider skin on its own, so anet can shove their bundle down to the mists.

Thats a long way off to be worrying about now, I think. I would just enjoy the content that you like while it lasts. They have said that they are improving drops in fractals though. On the other hand, anything is possible in the future.

So, since the update, my client crashes every time I am participating in one of the 3 lanes just before the Vinewraith fight, in the Silverwastes.

This is happening to me to. I sent a help ticket in, but haven’t received any reply.

I was sick of pvp nerfing pve way back in gw1 and it hasn’t botten any better. They nerfed an entire class (paragon) into the ground over pvp. I think its time that anet remember who is making them money. I don’t that pvp spends as much money on gems as pve.

Well for the $20 that this expansion should have cost: (without the HP debacle) 7/10.
For the $50 that they charged along with the HP debacle, the over-tuned events, no gliding outside HoT, etc….. 2/10.
I have been playing since HoT launch, but mostly the holiday event and other random things. I only set foot in HoT to get a few ranger pets. I wont be going back there until anet comes in and fixes things.

Halloween here. This way I can play descent content while they get their crap together concerning what they want to do with HoT.

I love the custom playlists. I wish that there was a setting to force a song to finish from the /battle playlist, etc…. Its kind of sad when a good song starts and then ends after 5 seconds.

There are far less white knights defending the 400 hp than there are people complaining about it.

Well, people said that we would never see an expansion or healers, among other things. Remember, some of the Mordrem ride mounts so…….

So with the bomb dropped on us today concerning the grind to the new specs, I believe that a pre-order refund should be offered to those who are unhappy with the way HoT is turning out. Anet pushed us into pre-ordering if we want the character slot which should have come with the expansion regardless. Now we find out that elite specs are gated behind 400 points -I know I know we can use the new weapons with the first tier- that we will have to grind for with each alt. So how about it Anet? Please place a cancel pre-order button on our account page.

400 points?? This is worse than my worst fear. Do you know how many toons I have to level the new spec for? Did you know that most of the elite specs arent even as good as the old specs?? I dont know…. Do you guys have contests over how much hate you can generate with your content releases? Do you even think these numbers through or just arbitrarily grab one out of the air?

Doam.8305:

For the record my main is Mez who does have asc also ascended is 10% after they updated it. Also what skill is there in obtaining Ascended!? If anything they should just have a Guild Raid and pug raid with pug getting a buff.

They wrote that ascended was going up to 10% in a dev preview, but they decided not to raise it. It is the same as it was.

The same day as the celebration in GW1. I dont understand why you want to force players to choose between Halloween and launch of HoT. I really dont.

This is happening to me too.

I would love to be able to use grenade kit on my engi, but I seldom do due to the auto attack bringing on my carpel tunnel pain.

Is there any way possible to get a dev response on this? Please? If we need to have 170 hero points to unlock the elite’s then my Engineer (for instance) will need to grind out about 130 more, and I have one of each class with only my main having enough points atm. It would be nice to know if I need to start this grind now to be prepared.

Thanks, Ill try that out.

Since one of the last few patches, when I try to lock the R mouse button to turn the camera, the cursor just slides across the screen and I loose my characters movement and usually get hammered by mobs. It often happens out of combat too and it takes a few attempts to get my camera to rotate 90 degrees.
This has not been happening with any other game that I play, including another MMO. Please do not ignore this issue if you know of it being widespread. If there is a fix in the works, tell us so that we dont waste money on buying another mouse or something like that.

Rev got a weapon swap added after player feedback. Why not give one to ele too? The legends that rev can summon are a lot like attunements. Engineer has multiple weapons through the kits that they can swap to, but ele still only has the one weapon.

My biggest problem is all of the vines slinging poison at you while you are trying to survive the onslaught of mobs, in camp defense. The vines also have way too much health IMO. Also, the camp defenses don’t seem to scale well and players get overcome quickly. This wont be a problem at the launch of HoT, but may become one once the player base spreads out some.

I know that this is beta and that there may be further polishing, but the Rev and new weapons for other classes seem very clunky right now. The humanoid morderm are very clunky in their movements too. I really hope they get the animation battle flow correct before launch. The rev feels like a class from a low end ftp game right now.

So, this will be the new content that 90% of the player base will miss out on because of elitist raid runners. Hopefully guilds will help the average player with the content, otherwise…..

It may have been brought up before, but the choice for hair accessory colors in character creation and hair kits are pretty lame, especially next to the bounty of choices in the hair kits. Is there any chance of getting more color options?

People have been begging anet to split skills for PVE/PVP since launch. It would be nice to have some classes that arent kitten in PVE, because of PVP.

I am having this issue too.

To ask for $50 for this expansion, it would need to have almost as much content as the core game, which took weeks to complete (if you were hardcore). I doubt that the content in hot will take more than a couple of days to complete and not as good, based on the current content from living world. I wouldnt want to pay more than $15-20 for hot.

Instantly my favorite JP!

I have run many many dungeons and have never been asked what gear or build that I was running. Of course though, I don’t try to join “zerker” groups, even when I do run in zerker gear.

Lots of people think that the current mmo that they are addicted to is the best one ever. When some of you come to the realization that gw2 has been turned into nothing more than a clone of the cheapest cash shop ftp game, you will think differently.

As Colin stated above, we can’t talk in detail about the ongoing development to drive retention for our veteran players, but I just wanted to make the point that the NPE was deliberately designed to address the early game retention issues, and ensure that Guild Wars 2 can benefit from a strong and steady influx of new players into the game.[/quote]

Well I think that telling us some details on future plans may help restore some community faith in the dev team right now. Heck, you have changed course on every other promise that you have made, why not on this?

People are grinding now, because there isn’t anything in the game that they haven’t see too many times. Even if you do your daily and some dungeons, that leaves little left to do. Of course you can revisit the same old zones in the form of living story, so that you can grind out achievements.

I spent some money earlier this year, but then the game began to stagnate, so I wont spend more. Ill buy more when they have released an expansion or some other news worthy content; content that is not just having us run around the some old areas.

Imo, the best way for them to stop the bleeding is to not introduce anymore ascended items. That would leave us with jewelry and weapons. Armor will be an incredible grind.

I like getting them as well.

Why are there always people who want to get other people’s gear nerfed? If you don’t want to wear berserker gear, you are only hurting yourself. I found that out after the game had been out a couple of months. The thing is, boss one shot kills are one shot kills no matter what gear you are wearing, so you might as well as get some more damage in on them with each hit.

With the trend of pve content becoming more difficult, is there any plans for pvp nerfs that effect some classes being reverted? Everything is now a dps race with timers on all of the world bosses, so classes like ranger and engineer are at a greater disadvantage than ever.

OP, that was with an organized raid. This is just a random group of people thrown together. They are 2 completely different things.

Hey, if you really want to make fractals better for the community, get your balance team to split PVE/PVP nerfs so that all classes can be useful in high end PVE. Yes, they would have to admit that they were wrong for the past year, but we already know that they were/are.

I have to agree that going back to old zones over and over is not new content…
Draven, I dont think that they are the vocal minority anymore; maybe they never were. Most of the people in my guild want living story to end and to get a new expansion.

In other words, this is just another embarrassing oversight that anet (devs) made, and they are not going to take the time to fix it. They have proven time and time again that they are in over their heads. If it weren’t for the art team, this game would be no better than any other ftp game on the market.
