Guild Wars 2

Well I preorder HOT the 100€ edition and all I fell is I will not preorder anything more from ArenaNet the xpac was disapointing, short story, grind lvls(masteries), wvw dead, no legendarys, no new fractals, dungeons are dead… the only think that is good in my opinion was the pvp that its better then it was before and raids … well no new content but i’m sure there will be new black lion weapons soon … disapointing… thats all i can think when i think about gw2 right now.

KcS.3826 it’s dificult to ppl who play wow start playing gw2 and like it because they try (like that guy) play like they are playing wow… sure they are both mmorpg but the gameplay is way diferent… i’m sure if GW2 instead of hearths have npc’s who give him the same quests as the hearths and in the minimap tells you what to do instead of reading the little text that guy probably would not rage quit the game… he clearly didnt read what to do in that heath and i’m sure he didnt read nothing about the game before playing it and even in game… he had personal story to do at lvl 10 and he didnt got there, he had vistas and others things to do but he didnt read the text after lvling up telling him not what to do but what he can do to lvl faster.

The problem is that and ofc because he wanted gw2 to be wow. He is clearly a wow fanboy its easy to see that while he was playing the game.

the only thing ArenaNet can do is make a better tutorial that explain visually all things ppl can do to lvl up, better UI that let them see where to go in minimap like an arrow or something like that… but even then i dont think fanboys stop playing wow to play gw2… when i saw a guy saying that he is grinding TO LVL UP in GW2 and play WOW… oh… and ofc that GW2 is PAY TO WIN … GG.

Likei said there are things that can be better in early game ALOT OF THINGS but not nothing that guy in the video say was right in my opinion..

regards

My english is far from the best but mr Just a flesh wound.3589 you explain well what i wanted to say. There are alot of thing wrong with Gw2 that could be mutch better but certainly is not the first 10 lvls. Still it could have a tutorial especially for ppl who come from traditional mmos… but grind and pay to win is not the problem in GW2.

KcS.3826 hi, i just saw the video of that guy playing GW2 for the first time and i can tell you that he dont want to play GW2 he was just testing the game for his channel. He like at the begining and then he stop enjoying the game because from the start he didnt really want to go into GW2. Look, he play WOW as his main mmo and he says that GW2 to lvl 10 is boring when you have quests that you can finish in more then one way while in his main game (WOW) till lvl 10 you only have quests like kill this kill that, go there catch this and that… he is clearly a wow fanboy.
He didnt read nothing about GW2 he didnt even read what he was supposed to do to finish that hearth that he so mutch sayd it was GRIND… srly and he play kittening WOW lol… oh and ofc GW2 is pay to win…

ppl who take that guy serious dont really know nothing about gw2… and i’m sure if he really wanted to play GW2 he could at last read what he should do to lvl faster like doing personal story, vistas, poi, and others things … but yeah “killing numerous lynx to obtain their collars” in wow is way more fun right? lol

My main mmo is GW2 but i didnt vote for ArenaNet because i dont think they actually are a good company at last for me… one prove was the recently delay for the next episode of the living story and theyre excuses that dont make any sence when they will release the new daily system and wintersday… i love gw2 but i dont like to play without knowing nothing about the future of the game… and theyre “delays”… for me the only good think that this game have is the actual content that the game had when it was in open beta and fractals all the content after that its like a “filler” to me… and the way this company works for me its wrong… its sad when pll I know call this game Filler Walls 2 instead of Guild Wars 2…

Hi guys my opinion the best way to play GW2 is having a Razer Naga and Razer Anansi.

you cañ see it here

Hi again i tryed and the problem persists… dont know more what to do i’m contacting support maybe they can help me if i fix the problem i post here about what i did to fix it

Hi dexgen

yes i’m using evga precision x all the time maybe its because of that program?

Hi guys

As the subject says the mouse cursor disappears i can still play after that and after it disappears if i try to open the map the client just close without any error message nothing… This normaly occurs when i’m crafting.

I have a really good computer i dont have any problems with performance i can play the game with full settings and this only happen with GW.

I already did i clean install of GW2 the problem didn’t desappear

you unlock the secound skill at lvl2 right after the tutorial that you can skip till the boss and kill him in like 1 minute, you can dodge after you create the character in the tutorial area… did you even try it? i’m sure you didnt … oh and btw you lvl way more faster now then before till lvl 15. btw now when you unlock the skill 2 you unlock skill 2 for all weapons so you dont need to GRIND to have all skils unlocked in all weapons and if your a elementalist you dont need to GRIND all attunement too…

yeah the problem is NOT thats its not avilable. you don´t NEED to dodge or pay attention to condis at all. THATS the problem. by the time they enter the 15-25 zones they probably forgot the only time they needed to dodge. and they ahd to dodge into an AOE circle, teaching it´s okay to do so.
Anet should have not jsut removed thing, they should have redesign the approch to basic combat features. Like a mini boss in a heartquest that has a knock back and an NPC yells for help and also warns them to DODGE his mighty weapon swing, in addition to the pop ups telling whihc key to press.
after this mini boss you can have normal mobs having abilities you can dodge but they are not a game changer. they jsut exists to give the new player a constant use of a newly learned ability. same with condis: either a boss or an Aoe that causes cripple (because it only slows a palyer down and does no dmg) needs to be dealt with. a frinedly NPC could help the player out be periodicly removing the conditions always saying something when he does so, drawing the palyers attention to the fact that he has conditions. with the rewrd there can a hint that certain skill can remove condis. and when the palyer moves on he find more mobs each with different condis. atm the moment they only cause one or two condis but the player would have after learned about condis constanly situation where condis can be applied. He gets thought to play the game properly without throwing only pop ups in his face. The player learns the game by playing it. that is the best indicator of a very good game.

To weapons skill: level gating is still dumb. instead they could have re arranged some hearts in the starting zones to train with their weapons.
for exsample the one heart in queens vale where you “practice” to handle weapons. move that closer to the beginning and actually let players “learn” their weaponskills. you get free weapons for it (whihc disappear after you finshed all weapons skills) to leanr all possible skills but you only need one or two weapons the new players allready has.
like that new players are ACTIVLY encouraged to pay attention to skills and learn playfully to use them. they learn what weapons they can use with their class and actually their class in of itself. again the player learns to play “BY PLAYING THE kittenING GAME” (quote Arin Hanson)
And that allone can awake the sensation of accomplishment. By playing the game and learning the basics, knowing how you can approch enemies in of it self can be a big reward for all newcomers.
From that point new comers will look into the utility skill they unlock, test them and find their own way to use them, build a build on their own.
And then come the traits. the want to explore the world for its traits allone has begun and newcomers explore the world, learn the lore from NPCs and players and continue on becoming better players, become low level pugs that don´t suck in doungens and much more.
does this what i describbed sound 1000x better then what the NPE is right now? doesnßt this sound like…..the manifesto?

Hi ShroomOneUp.6913

what you said is nice ofc, but what i said was for one guy who come here only to troll saying " you CAN only autoatack and you CANT dodge! " and that its not true… i think for a tuto area that you do in 1 minute more or less having only skill 1 and heal skill its normal specially when most of the players come from games that you cant move while atacking or dodge…

I agree with you and it was epic to have that kind of remake in first hearts or tuto area that really help you to learn how play the game like the exemple you said about dodge aoe atacks from a boss with the help of a npc and not that cheesy tutorial that we have now lol but i like way more the skills now then before that make me to grind kitten till i unlock all of them…

and for ppl talking that you cant do it in less then a hour… srly? then yeah this feature pack was really weak because even now you guys dont know how to play this game… i think i needed more time to unlock all my skills on my ele with all wepons and in all attunements then now to get my chars to lvl 10…

you unlock the secound skill at lvl2 right after the tutorial that you can skip till the boss and kill him in like 1 minute, you can dodge after you create the character in the tutorial area… did you even try it? i’m sure you didnt … oh and btw you lvl way more faster now then before till lvl 15. btw now when you unlock the skill 2 you unlock skill 2 for all weapons so you dont need to GRIND to have all skils unlocked in all weapons and if your a elementalist you dont need to GRIND all attunement too…

lol then again we all know warrior will be nerfed and still ppl QQ about warrior… srly? Sure its the easiest class in game to play but its not the best class in game specially in pvp specially with GreatSword! lol… Warrior with GreatSword i think its the worst class in pvp right now and after the patch i dont think it will be any good in pve eather LOL i think the others classes will be better in pve for dungeons and stuff

TheCheater.5190:

Anet do you really care about your players or are you just trying to test how much we can resist before we dump this game once and for all? It’s two years now that the game is out and still you’re fooling with us delaying EVERYTHING that you promised and constantly nerfing us. I haven’t played in the last days because I was busy and now I find out that you’re going to nerf the fiery greatsword brutally and that you already nerfed the only reliable farm that was left in game (yeah i’m referring to blix). By now we still have NO new dungeons, NO improvements to fractals (they take too much time to complete for a too small reward) and above every other thing NO scavenging hunt, do you remember that you stated that scavenging hunt would be activeated during march/april and we haven’t seen it at all? Pairing to this the situation of the trading post is becoming ridiculous and my first legendary is still miles away but i’m not the only one with this problem, precursors have reached abnormal prices (The Legend costs 1400 gold by now and the others are even more expensive) and T6 mats continue to raise in price. Right now the situation is on the verge of collapsing, a new player cannot even dream to build a legendary and even raise the crafting skills is a nightmare, right now due the cost of crafting materials the “gift of fortune” costs (excluding the clovers due RNG dependent) 1004.66 gold and to that enourmous amount of money we have to add the need to build a temple to a random divinity hoping in a divine blessing with the mystic forge (aka mystic toilet) to drop the needed precursor due the abnormal RNG that other than frustrating is also broken because i’ve seen players tossing thousands of rares/exo in the forge with NOTHING in return and players that get the precursor with just one attempt and the most disgusting thing was seeing a screenshot of a player that received THREE “Zap” with three consecutive attempts (I can’t find the link by now so you have to trust me or check your logs). Just to stress a bit more this thing I would quote a couple of statements like “we’re wathing the trading post situation…”, “we’re monitoring…”, “we’re going to address this…”, reminds something? That was you Anet assuring us that things wouldn’t have reached this absurd situation. HOW are we supposed to gather the money to afford such things? We can’t run dungeons multiple times because the reward decreases, we can’t craft because everyone can craft everything so players can’t build a market like it’s possible to do in other games like E.V.E Online or even SWTOR, we can’t farm because it’s evident that you consider farming a forbidden way of gaming considering that you nerf every single farming spot of the game as soon as we find them and we cannot even flip on the trading post due it’s website based structure rather than an integrated structire that crashes if someone tries to sell multiple things quickly and that doesn’t allow to buy more than 250 copies of an item, there are things that can be flipped but excluding some high-margin flips that are very slow to accomplish most of the flips have a margin of a couple of copper so to make a decent profit we have to buy hundreds of them but only 250 at time, I personally bought 10000 black lion chest to attempting to flip them for 1 copper profit and it took me 40 transactions to buy them all with several errors due the fast repeated transaction and only with this flip I wasted over 1 hour only for putting the orders. I really like this game, I’ve played it from the beginning two years ago, but I don’t want to make it a job that requires me to pass hours and hours and hours on the trading post hoping for a profit and I refuse to spend real money to buy gems to convert them to gold, now the 12 september the feature packs will be online and I really hope that contains a solution to these problems (or at least the beginning of a solution) otherwhise i really doubt that we’ll see a 3rd anniversary.

So for you fiery greatsword shouldn’t be modified? Because in pve i want to play a game called Guild Wars 2 and not a game called Guild Walls 2.

First of all Fiery greatsword was not nerfed actually fiery greatsword will be way more powerfull in pvp unless you fight in the wall in pvp lol then yeah its a nerf… that modification was needed for pve because it was overpower in dungeons it was just stupid… it takes 0 skill to kill the kitten and the boss’s.

To finish failing an event shouldn’t be more rewarding then winning the event… that’s stupid and it was not intention.

the problem is not in the professions the problem is the dungeons in this game you need to stay in the wall and dps the group of monsters or boss till them or he die… all dungeons in this game need to be remade till the point that you cant stay in the wall to kill all and all party go full berserk… firesword need to have a remake… that skill is just stupid, the dungeons take 0 skill to complete and strategy.

They should remake all dungeons to make all classes be needed to make them, is not that rangers are bad… the “problem” is the pet that make the boss in the wall and lure kitten that your party dont want to be lured, the problem is not the necro, the problem is the condition system they had implemented in this game and btw you dont need conditions when all you need is to be in the wall and dps all the monsters in 2 or 3 seconds, you dont need someone tanky, or someone that do heals or protections, or conditions dmgs, or have a pet that could do buffs or tank the boss’s, you dont need turrents ALL YOU NEED is to have a profession that could stay in the wall take a firesword and kill all

lol but srly the dungeons in this game… are so broken lol i dont see this in any good mmo, stay in the wall and kill all

so thats it thats my opninion they need to remake the dungeons to make other professions good and nerf firesword…

just to end it they remake the spider in AC so that even in the wall she now make that aoe that make alot of dmg but you know what? we just need to be in the wall have a firesword and its done in 1 sec thats your problem

Hi,

i’m discussing with my friends about elder dragons in Guild Wars 2 and since we know so little about them specially me who only played Guild Wars 2 i would like to know your opinion about 2 questions:

1 – Who do you think is the most powerfull Elder Dragon?
2 – Who do you think that will be the last Elder Dragon that ArenaNet will make us fight?

my personal opinion:
1 and 2 – I think its Primordus not because i know his power and the others but because he is awaken for so long and had more time to consume magic then the others. I didnt play GW 1 but i know that in the end it shows Primordus awakening and the GW 1 final boss is a champion from him that could mean that he could be the main villain in GW2 and he was the first to awakening but it will be the last who will fight… but i know so little about the lore can you guys give me your opinions?

Oh and sorry for my english =)

regards

i was doing it in a group of friends i didnt play alone.. i dont know how many hours was but it was that time more or less… if i played alone for sure that would take me way more time… the only part that take me some time to do was the jumping puzzle (without the powers in the story more) and even that it didnt take me that long … at last for me, for some friends we laugh kitten team speak since they keep falling xD like i said i like this new season way more then in the begining of the season 1 but for me it was almost 0 new content… i dont know if i did all the dynamic events i did all that i find and open all the chests that i could since i dont have any more keys… i actually prefere right now to lvl my alt and maybe do 1 fractal or dungeon instead of going back and play more in the new map… since the only thing good there now for me is the chests… i dont need new dungeons since i feel that they should improve the old ones before going to make new ones maybe 1 or 2 new fractals but not dungeons at last for now… the rest was what i said before …

EDIT: http://i.imgur.com/D4s6VzO.jpg maybe this will help you

Hello community

i was reading all the comments and i decided to comment saying what i think about season 2.

First of all i like Gw2, i like the combat and the gameplay in it, i like to explore the map do achievements and jumping puzzles. I wanted to write this before i got more serious.

I respect the ppl that say that was enough content and they are enjoying the game season 2 right now, dont get me wrong i liked to do the new story and the achievements but i must agree with some that say its almost new 0 content.

I’m not hardcore but playing normaly with some friends we did all the content in 3/4h… the only thing left me to do is repeat the story ( that i dont need because i already did the achievements ) or farm events that i dont like to do it since its got bored after 1h… so after 4h more or less i go to sleep and when i login in game i lvl my alt from 50 to 72 by exploring maps and in the end i did one fractal… i didnt play more the new season 2 because i dont have nothing more there to do… only repeat and farm…

so yeah i like it but it was really almost 0 content, in my case i would prefere them to remake some dungeon boss’s that require 0 skill to them, its more dificult to get to them then kill them…

what i would like them to do when they open this season was that they put this content with it…

- Remake some dungeons especially most of the boss’s.
- Remake World Boss’s, like they did with tequatl.
- Remake some rewards from Dungeon Boss’s.
- New fractals and maybe a new fractal set.
- The healling pop up making ppl see that they are getting heals from other players like they did when you are suffer from conditions.
- and ofc the beggin of Season 2.

with this they make ppl playing the new season and after ppl could play old content but having the felling that is new 2.

for the future new class, new profession and new season 2 content…

sorry for my english hope you guys undestand and well this is what i was waiting for after 2 months since the last content update and after 2 years where you only got in pve fractals, 2 new maps, season 1 and ascended gear.

best regards

I actually dont like to buy nothing with my credit card… thats why i want to ask for another options.

Hi GMs from Arena Net and members of this forum

First of all my english is not the best so i hope you all understand.

I come to this section to know what you guys think about of another methods to buy gems?

I play many mmos in the past and other kind of cash shop games like league of legends and they have for exemple a method to buy cash shop items from cell phone text messages and i would like to have this method in this game…

So… what do you guys think about this?

best regards
