Guild Wars 2

“Also, didn’t Anet remove the old tome elite skills precisely because they were slow, sluggish and broke up the flow of the guardian gameplay? Don’t answer, this is a rethorical question, I already know the answer. The answer is yes, yes they did.”

lmao, I died laughing. very true

Well said OP.

-Guardian main

Wow, of all the changes made on guardian THATS what you have issue with?! I’d argue its better then it was before. You can actually micro manage it better. No more guesswork, or it dissipating unexpectedly.

Sifu.9745:

I just can’t find any use of it … Scepter and LB are both much better ranged weapons.

pretty much… Even if they are making changes with the expansion in mind, that DOES NOTHING for us now.

I agree, this change was unwarranted.

I agree with a lot of what you said. Hard to believe they got people excited about what they promised players two years ago (a power necro) only to not deliver again.

I’ve been playing the GW franchise since its started over a decade ago and every year I’m put off more and more by the franchise I love most. I wont be preodering the expansion in protest of Anets balance team REPEATEDLY ignoring the player-base. And honestly… if they keep on this path ill withdraw my support entirely. Unlikely ill be getting anything other then the base expansion.

I would LOVE to continue supporting anet, I think they have a great premise of a game, for the most part they are attentive to their player-base. IDK WHY THE HECK they ignore us entirely for balance input. WE’RE THE ONES PLAYING THE GAME, WAKE UP.

I agree a new pvp lobby was long over due, and there are definitely aspects I love about the new area. Gliding and the mosh pit for starters! Unfortunately that is where my praise ends. I find the new area to be excessively dark and gloomy, I am constantly having trouble with walls/arches blocking my view of npcs and the area in general. I feel squished on top of other players after losing all the retail space we had in the previous lobby. What are your thoughts, what would have liked to see different or hoping will change yet?

TLDR: New area could benefit alot by being less gloomy and having more open space.
Edit: Grammer

I love the changes to guard for the most part. Really happy to have my GS back. My only complaint is how SUPER CLUNKY our SoJ feels now. Hope anet considers .5 cast time rather then keeping the .75. =x

I am so beyond disappointed with dragon hunter. Everything right down to the name is awful =\

Thank you for your responses, I had to restart the client in order to see this upgrade option. Crisis diverted!

I was under the impression we were able to buy the expansion and then upgrade to the deluxe version with gems. Is this not the case or did they take this out?? =\

I have to kinda agree with op. i think its a shame that this guy that really doesnt know crap about the game gets to dictate who gets in the beta. not fair to the hardcore wvwers.

I mean, i see why anet did it. they are using his stream as a cheap PR flash. disappointing anet…

Think you could of phrased your argument alittle better, but know that I whole heartily agree with you. Im sure plenty others do as well.

Still quite a bit upset. here is a few reasons why:
1. Anyone who just recently bought a deluxe edition or higher now has a less of a value for their money. Expecting plenty of others to agree with this. Can’t you guys just admit ya gone and goofed the different packages?
2. The word play on this post regarding the faq page is hugely downplaying the details.

“Some read the FAQ as us urging players to buy the core game now, in preparation for the expansion release. This was not our intention and amendments made to the FAQ following the announcement were a good-faith attempt to clarify this misinterpretation. "

That FAQ abolutely urged players to buy the core game in preparation for the release and the ammendment was of course “misinterpreteted” considering you guys were quiet about what your real intentions were for nearly a week. Again, cant you guys just say you gone and goofed up?

3. Despite these and all the other goof ups this past week, you still have avoided one of the main concerns of the community. THE PRICE. its clear by the majority of the reactions here that a 50 dollar price tag too high. For a third time, some more communication on your part can fix this. Let us know what were getting. If you belive this to be a fair price show us why.

TLDR: Anet you need to communicate better with your community. Your going to continue to alienate your followers otherwise.

I don’t agree with all of your logic used, but I will say I 100% agree with your message. People need to stop attacking each other for their views on what has been going on with this expansion. Everyone is entitled to their views.

And with that said, im beyond disappointed at anet. An oversight is understandable, but your inaction in replying to us speaks volumes.

ill whine untill they make it right by us tyvm.

I may be joining you. Anet needs to do right here..

kinda hard to defend them when this is happening.

Thank you for your post… more people need to see this. Anet needs to do right by us…

Illyria.9306:

You just lost any players that were planning to come back to the game for the expansion. There were so many people that had left the game and then got back on the hype train for the expansion and are immediately going to balk at the fact that they have to buy the game all over again. And then, you have the people that bought the game recently because they heard about the expansion and assumed that they would need the core game to experience the expansion, now they are faced with the idea that they are going to have to buy a game that they already paid for in the last couple month all over again…

Well said. this pretty much sums up the wide spread anger.

Nice way to treat all the players that just bought your game recently

John Smith.4610:

InfinitytheSoulWarden.5963:

if you look at the world through the cold cynical eyes of economics

You rang?

wow… just wow…

MANY people here are upset over the announcement your company gave and you use the time to make jokes. nice.

We really need some clarification on whats going on here.

think its pretty obvious the majority of us are feeling the same on this. hope they do something soon…

Taglor Anwamane.9468:

This is nothing short of an insult to every single one of those who have been loyally playing for so long. They’re giving new players the expansion practically for free in comparison!
And it’s not as if they’re offering a full game’s worth of content, either.

AGREED

GW2’s original price was $59.99 and the deluxe was $79.99. Trying to “double dip” like this by forcing us to buy the original game is so beyond me.

I cant be the only one upset over having to REBUY guild wars 2 in order to play the expansion. There is no reason except greed, to force us to buy the core game AGAIN to play the expansion. What reason can they possibly give to not have an option to buy the expansion only? Shameful.

Heh, the timing of this post with that update… Fingers crossed its everything we hope it to be.

So am i out of the loop or have we really heard nothing regarding guild halls? There still is mention of guild halls on the gw2 hot site, but I haven’t come across any word about the progress or features regarding them. If I did miss information, would someone be able to share sauce (source)?

Playing since gw1 release, I’ve been beyond eager to see guild halls hit this game. If done right I think it can really take gw2 to the next level. Hope they arent forgetting about this much wanted and needed content, otherwise we will have to stop calling it guild wars!

Sylent.3165:

Ok so it’s not as bad as I thought it would be. Yes the name still makes no sense….but anyways.

Longbow skills.
I personally think the auto attack needs a buff, looked much weaker then a ranger and without the pet tanking we need a little more damage even though the arrow can pierce one enemy behind.

2 skill looked pretty nice. Good damage. Aoe power shot I can live with.

3 skill shoots an arrow that blocks projectiles and causes blind. Still have our blind which is nice!

4 skill the ground targeting trap? Gives allies vigor and burns foes. I think this will be sort of useless with the new f1 skill, really just gives allies vigor.

The 5 skill. As shown in the preview a barrage that locks up to 5 people in a fence. Looks great but video showed a 60 second cooldown. If that’s the case way to long.

Overall I did like the longbow but I ton it needs some tweaking. Coming from being an open world pver I have nothing good to say about the heal, or the traps, or elite skill.

Heal will be useless unless approaching bosses in melee and dropping it down other traps did nice aoe damage, fast cast times, great stacks of bleeds and vunurability. However will be awful in pve. Amazing in wvw though I think.

What’s your thoughts on what you saw?

I must say I am extremely disappointed in the guardian elite spec. Even the best features trait wise and skill wise seem lackluster. This all after they dropped chronometer on us. They did such a great job with that elite spec. traitwise, skillwise, everything (the name included) just made sense and left you eager to play it. Why no love for us guardians =(. I main guardian and was epically saddened by the live stream. This whole concept of traps on a guardian makes no sense. It feels like it was something they were working on for rangers didnt like it and so edited slightly for guardians. They could do much better.

I have the perfect guild for you! The Mystic Plumbers [LUCK] is an active 450+ PvX guild. The guild is pretty spread out server wise, but our WvW nights are on BP! We are vigilant about keeping an active roster. You can tell by our name we have a great sense of humor and love to have fun.

The Mystic Plumbers [LUCK] wants you! An active 450+ PvX guild, we offer: Website|Private TS3|PvP Server|24/7 Buffs|Guild Missions|Lotto/Raffle|. Come test your [LUCK].

Guardian of Angels.9867:

Maybe I’m stating the obvious, but with 450 members there’s none that fit your description? I’m sure your own members know the guild and it’s mentality best right?

We absolutely have members that fit this description! Many of which have already stepped up and have become officers themselves. I believe were actually quite [LUCK]y to already have a team of dedicated officers, they truly do so much! We want our officers to genuinely care and commit themselves to pushing the guild to new heights. By recruiting for officer positions from the outside as well as the inside we open up our pool of candidates greatly and in my experience have even better [LUCK] with them staying on for longer periods of time because they know what they are signing up for.

Sorry for the bad puns, cant help myself =p

The Mystic Plumbers [LUCK] are looking for veteran players to take on officer roles in our ever growing family!

Alittle bit about us: We are a 450+ PvX guild that will soon be hitting its 1 year mark! We have a pretty active guild chat/teamspeak. We do weekly guild missions, fun events, and LOTS of giveaways. As you can tell from our name we have a pretty great sense of humor and love to have fun. This doesn’t mean were not serious though! The core of this guild has a lot of dedicated players. We are vigilant about keeping an active roster.

Alittle bit about the officer positions: Officers are held to high standards as they represent role models for how guildies should conduct themselves and how we come off to the rest of Tyria. An ideal officer canidate will be an experienced guild wars player who is willing to teach and lead all kinds of in game content as well as admin our website/forums/teamspeak. The most important responsibility is attending our weekly officer meetings to help keep the guild running smoothly.

Come test your [LUCK].

If your interested in becoming an officer or even a member please don’t hesitate to contact me! Happy gaming =)

Hello TaggSilar! Happy to see you getting back in to the game! I have a great guild if your looking to get up to speed quickly. Were very friendly and active. Questions are absolutely encouraged with us! Only reqs are to have fun!

Gaile Gray.6029:

Hey all,

Believe me, the devs are aware of this issue and it has been and is being taken care of.

Thank you Gaile.

Elanion.1375:

Waaaay too much drama over nothing…This will obviously be fixed,although as the only gameplay issue that causes is the HoM stone crush it might take a while…Still people who didn’t earn those titles will have them removed,nobody can access the HoM so no skins/pets e.t.c, and the AP will be probably removed…
Asking for rollbacks for just a bunch of titles?Seriously?Or asking to ban people for having a bug proc on their account?And all that over a “vanity” issue?That’s the definition of an overkill…

Your statement shows your ignorance into the difficulty of achieving this title on top of whom it effects most. Veteran Guild Wars players. While I dont agree with banning or a hard rollback of everything are effective fixes to this problem. This is hardly “Waaaay too much drama over nothing”. Anet prides themselves on appealing to the casual gamer while still rewarding dedicated players. So yes, vanity is a big deal. It is the end game for many.

With all that said yes this sucks. But being a guild wars player since gw1 release I have confidence in the anet team to fix the issues. Maybe not as quickly as we would like to see, but undoubtedly they will find a good course of action. These hiccups will always happen to games, and much more so to games with such frequent updates. The fact that their track record is so good in the past shows how dedicated they are to making sure stuff like this doesn’t happen. Things are bound to fall between the cracks. Just be patient.

Its not really the bugs that I am upset with. Its the lack of response.

As far as I can tell it has not been fixed.

I think this absolutely calls for a rollback as the only alternative I can see is banning people. Which would be a disaster given how many innocent people would get caught in the crossfire. The bug is so easily triggered I cannot imagine anything but a rollback happening.

I just wanted to bring it to the attention of the developers there is currently a BIG BUG which allows people to get 39 HoM near instantly. I dont want to give specifics in case people try and abuse it, but will be happy to provide more info if contacted. Being a long time guild wars player I found this upsetting and hope to see anet roll back peoples accounts.
