Guild Wars 2

I’m posting this to see how many people think:

A) The cost of the guild missions is crud.

B) The guild mission cost will drive smaller guilds into the ground.

C) The guild mission cost is catered to large guilds.

This topic is more less a poll.
Don’t post if you don’t agree with it as the total number of posters will be counted as people agreeing.
There will be an opposite poll to see how many like the cost and think it will affect smaller guilds well.

Do not merge this as it is a poll.
Please stick to your respective polls.

Ok this should not seem odd at all. But I am a little confused as to why the Ranger does not have a rifle. Rifle is ranged and range is in the name of Ranger. I don’t think they should have pistols but in a world where there are rifles, and rangers being hunters, it would make sense for them to have a rifle option to “hunt” with. As to why no pistols, you don’t go hunting with a handgun. But a rifle just makes sense. If a Dev or Moderator reads this, could you elaborate on your thinking of why rangers don’t have rifles?

Here’s another.

This is a very good topic OP worded this amazingly. On that note though wait for ArenaNet to lock this thread in attempts to let it die out. Just like they did my thread where everyone wanted a simple high damage slow shooting rifle on their ranger with pet boon skills.

^Agree with this. +1

Well the fact of the matter is there are no “Crossbows” in GW2. Until they add it keep dreaming. Its a nice thought but not something they can make readily available at the current moment. Now on the FACT that Rangers ARE HUNTERS. My statement is this, Go to any Norn area and look at the Hunters, they all have Bows and Rifles as do and should Rangers. Leading me to believe that even though Rangers are nature oriented that they focus primarily on USING NATURE to HUNT FOR PREY. Now a ranger not having the ability to use Rifles to HUNT is preposterous. All those that are fussing about it most likely don’t even Ranger main. But for ME and MYSELF, I have made my Rangers 1st and foremost on the front of my list in almost EVERY RPG and MMORPG. Now it has always been the focus for a Ranger/Archer/Marksman/Hunter/Survivalist to always have the most current advantages to ranged weaponry not because its in the name but because that is their primary focus. In GW1 for those of you who haven’t played and are basing your UNINFORMED OPINION on the fact that they are nature wanderers you think they are, GW1 said this about the rangers “The Ranger is the master of the targeted distance attack and Rangers get the most out of ranged weapons like bows.” also “In a party, the Ranger is often called upon to pull foes toward the group with a well-aimed arrow. Rangers combine effectively with any secondary profession that performs well at a distance.”. Not to mention “The Marksmanship attribute adds damage to basic bow attacks and is the base attribute for most bow skills.” And the in game description, “An agile and wily survivor, the Ranger specializes in ARCHERY, beast mastery, and attunement to nature” So with that being said their PRIMARY focus is being RANGED. Yes they can use the abilities of the natural world surrounding them, but they are still HUNTERS and RANGED and as such should be given Rifles due to the evolution of the world of Tyria. I’m not asking them to add a new weapon. I’m asking them to Give the Ranger an already conceived weapon in the game. I’m not asking them to change a WHOLE LOAD OF coding. Just more simply just add a little bit of coding into the Ranger to make them more versatile. I really don’t care if they take the Greatsword away as if they were really really really nature based they wouldn’t be wielding a HUGE CHUCK OF METAL! Because if ANYTHING doesn’t fit, its the Greatsword!

Im having the issue of my screen freezing at the end or around the end of the invasions. I am now also having the issues of when loading Divinity’s Reach being able to see through the whole map for a good minute while it loads up. Sorry Anet but I was playing fine before(able to run max but play on medium settings), ran all system checks and everything is fine on my side, so that leaves you guys/gals. I started having this problem shortly before the mini watchknights disappeared from everyone’s accounts. Please fix this issue and update me on the fix as soon as possible. I wont be able to complete this living story at all thanks to your errors. And what a great time for a free trial huh? Seems like someone is sabotaging your free trial time from the inside. Might be Evon Gnashblade and his good fractal trying to come through…….. Who knows maybe that’s why im still getting support tokens…………… Might want to rethink your “Quality Assurance”.

I just almost had my daily completed. All I needed was aquatic kills and crafter. I was working on my aquatic kills and was at 90% complete and was about to head to Lions Arch to finish my crafting challenge and it reset on me. It has now come to my attention that the dailys need to go back to how they were. If you don’t complete them in a certain time then it just allowed you to complete them whenever. Now I have wasted time and nothing to show for it. This seems like a problem and it needs to be fixed. This is my only complaint with the daily’s as I enjoy them very much so. But this would literally drive many people insane.

I think the cost is way too much influence. As a medium sized guild it is still too much. I feel as if ArenaNet is catering to the larger guild even when they said that they are catering to smaller guilds. Really they should have released info on the mission costs before hand, gotten responses on it, and then adjusted influence costs accordingly. Bad move ArenaNet. I like the Idea but the cost is way too much. When I heard guild missions I thought “Oh wow now my guild can utilize the calendar and we will be doing one or 2 guild missions weekly!” Now I’m thinking “Ugh Larger guilds will be taking all the people into their guilds now and the smaller guilds are going to suffer.”

That BS time availability. Some of us have to budget our money and didn’t have enough to get them immediately. The 24 hour availability on them was Bullcrup. Bring them back for longer Anet. This Flash sale crup is stupid as hell.

Tweekon.2510:

Very long post.. Says exactly the same as all the others.

‘My small guild deserves to be able to do this new content. I will not change my playstyle to fit.’

EQ2 had guild levels. Hitting max guild level gave nice things. Small 2 person guilds whined it was harder for them to level than big raid guilds.

Dev response – so go join a raid guild, or recruit to your guild.

I hope the devs stick to their guns here. And wrap these inane entitlement posts up into one big thread.

The problem here is according to my polls. There are more people in the “Cost is crud category” than the “Cost is awesome category”

I tried to keep my polls out of this thread but, if you want to see the polls here they are. And from what I have read: Numbers don’t make a guild, people do.

If you don’t agree with the cost, post once in this poll

Congratulations Valandil!

morx.1738:

We had 4 months of building up on a living story, 4 months (!!!!!), and all we get in the very end is a bonfire? This undercuts even my lowest expectations.

Ok, I don’t get on the forums much, BUT you guys I heard about from a guild mate. I am appalled at all the people that are complaining about not getting anything at the end. You guys/gals, seriously cmon. Lets see here, how many months did you have to get all the achievements? Oh and not getting anything, (Did you run the dungeon more than once?), (Did you finish all your Living story achievements?). Hmm in total I think I got, well over 300g worth of loot from the Living Story ALONE! If you didnt want to do the work, then you didn’t get anything but a bonfire. And actually I hate people who say this but “Go cry to someone who cares.” No one really cares here except for the people who just want to be given things for nothing, you self entitled brats.

It would be nice for Anet to give us some tangible proof of the drop rates, other than us “just having to trust them” which I don’t.

I dont know…. Candy crush is pretty pay to win and GW2 is going to the same model. Make something sooo difficult majority of players cant accomplish it. But wait lets give them an easy way out that they can pay for with REAL MONEY if they have no gold to spend “which majority of players have under 10g normally (not enough for 600G nowadays)” then once said purchase is complete spam spawn win and profit!

It has come to my attention that there are people who jump servers for Meta Events. Now this causes issues for people who chose to be on the server in the first place. It is my understanding we have the technological capabilities that would allow the game maps to have precedence for the original server population. It would benefit the original server members. If a guest is taking a spot and forcing original server members to overflow, why not kick the guest to overflow and the original server member would be able to fill that slot. This would prevent the original server members from missing out on “The cool stuff”. This would need to be looked at as a possibility. End of my suggestion.

Auesis.7301:

Give Rangers rifles and you push Engineers even further in to obscurity/irrelevance than they already are.

Ok as far as weapons go for Engineers you have, flamethrowers, elixir guns, rifles, pistols, shield, grenades, the list goes on. Engineers are actually the one class that has the most weapons. Alot of people forget that though.

Oh and as far as bullets go. There is no Reload feature or ammunition in GW2 so asking where they would get the bullets is dumb. They would do the same thing every other hunter does. Take what they need with them. Where does the warrior keep his rounds, up his bum with his GS, Shield, 2 Maces, 2 Axes, Sword, etc.? so that needs to stop being said like now! Now if they are masters of Nature then im assuming they could do the same thing Captain Kirk did when he was fighting the Lizard guy on that barren planet where he used what was in nature to make a Highly combustible shot to kill it, from ROCKS not Poo.

Slien when I said range is in ranger I was making a pun. Im not an idiot and don’t portray me as such. This isn’t CNN and your not Piers Morgan. And the ranger in any fantasy MMO, Roleplay, etc. has always been a primarily ranged. Yes they focus also on melee but that need is normally rare. Seriously people if you don’t agree with a suggestion about class changes don’t post in it. You forum lifers are making it to where a ton of people don’t want to post new ideas because you guys and gals immediately tell every person who posts something that they are crazy for even thinking that. There’s a +1 for a reason and there is not a -1 for a reason. And also Slein I read your post’s on the forum and they are all you completely disagreeing with other peoples idea’s with the exception of one post. How about you come up with an idea and post it in the suggestions thread.

For the past few days this is what I see.

ANET, Any Ideas on how to FIX this?

Now with that being said lets tally up those Thumbs ups. Before you make yourself look like a fool with your pants on the ground again.

Heijincks.9267:

In your logic, it would be fair for someone to get an A+ on a group project they did solo in 4 hours compared to a group who invested 4 hours per person to get an A+.

Actually I disagree with your logic. The genius who did his group project by himself, in the same time as a group of people, should get an A++ instead of the A+ the group got.

also, i didn’t say your opinion doesn’t count..nice try putting words in my mouth. Trollin hard.

Sorry my mistake.. Must have misunderstood

can you please explain what you meant by this then please?

“Galens been trolling this thread for about 4 pages now putting down everyone who doesn’t agree with him.”

If you think that’s the same as saying you opinion is invalid then there’s something wrong. Your opinions fine, saying it over and over again to everyone who has a different opinion is trolling. Take a class or something if you don’t understand what words mean. That’s just something I can’t help you with.

maybe I really dont know the meaning of the word trolling, but for someone to be considered trolling as far as I know his posts have to be out off topic, unrelated, disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing etc…

Lets put it this way, the board defines trolling as:
We define “trolling” as commenting in a manner intended to elicit overly strong negative and emotional responses for mere shock value, attempting to derail threads, persistently posting off-topic, or engaging in personal attacks on another forum member.

As far as I know none of my posts fall under that category.

I only made 1 post in this thread, all the others were replies to people who replied to that post. So not ignoring replies is considered trolling in your books ?

They might have meant “Griefing”. Would make more sense. More “Lifetime Forum Junkie Griefers” on this Forum than any I have seen anywhere else.

I took this tonight, it has now become one of my favorites. I was thinking though, Post your favorite screenshots you have taken.

Doomguard what about the person that wakes up at 6am est, goes to work at 7am est, comes home around 8pm est, then goes to sleep at 9pm est? Should they suffer because you play this game non stop? it seems rather selfish to just assume everyone revolves around your OWN play-style. I agree they don’t need to be changed but making them harder would in turn penalize the casual players while rewarding the farmers, dungeon runners, etc. who have literally hours upon hours to complete these. Please people use logic before you post against things, and think about all the other players who don’t speak their minds on the forums. I’m kinda tired of these armchair developers who haven’t ever looked at the big picture, but only their own mirror.

I PLAY AN ENGINEER. Having said that, I don’t think an Engineer should be able to toss turrets onto walls. Instead they should be placed at the Engineer’s feet as having to set them up. We don’t even have technology to do that in modern times. So how could physics be broken to such a ludicrous degree? If anyone reading this has played Portal, what happens when you throw a turret? It falls over due to poor weight balancing. Turrets being able to be thrown onto walls in PVE or WvW is an idiocy. As a person who plays Engineer and enjoys playing it, i think this needs to be fixed. It does not seem right that they could toss them. It would feel much better if you had to place them at your feet, as if having to set it up. I also think the time it takes to deploy a turret should be adequate to time it takes to set up a tripod for anything. This is MY suggestion, does not have to be yours.

EDIT: Anet: This idea would make the Engineer much more fun in my opinion. And the only people who would disagree are the people who enjoy “exploiting” this poor system mechanic. Yes “Exploiting”.

And the Warrior is a “Developed” class? In which btw uses more weapons than I feel they should have or feel like typing out. A supposed melee class that uses ranged weapons now? How many people do you know that use rifles for hunting in which they stalk their prey like a Ranger? Rangers are trackers, hunters, trappers, and just happen to be ranged. They have animal companions that are used to sniff out their prey. It makes perfect sense for the ranger to have a rifle option. And saying the ranger isn’t a “shooter” class is preposterous, they “shoot” arrows from their bows. Why cant they have a rifle to shoot?

Indeed my ranger is now fully geared and the Laurel box doesn’t mean anything to me now. Why would I want to risk the chance of not getting an exotic, when my ranger is now fully geared out in exotics. Seems like a waste of Laurels now. I’d rather have the Abyss dye by now from getting the 10 dyes than this gearbox.

I am a player that likes playing my toons how I want to play them. But you have to build specific builds to even complete Queens Gauntlet. This is actually against everything you have told us about what you want GW2 to be. You keep saying that people don’t use certain skills enough and don’t have enough variety in builds, yet you keep releasing content and “Fun/Exciting” content that requires specific builds. I’m not trying to insult you Anet, but more-less trying to get you to realize the flaws in what you tell us and what you release. Please I have so much hope for this game and you, but you’re making yourselves look like hypocrites. Just my opinion and observation that you want us to give you. I try to give you good and bad criticism. Oh and also, the prices of Gold to Gems are horrendous and I actually think there needs to be a cap on how high the price gets. If you keep your players poor with too many gold sinks people will stop playing.

did they delete your last post?

Im glad I see people that actually agree with me on this instead of the same people I see over and over again bashing threads and following me around the forum.
