Guild Wars 2

Naus the Gobbo.5172:

Halloween.
Wintersday.
Super Adventure Box.
Dragon Bash.
Southsun Cove.
Fractals of the Mists.
Living Story.
2 PvP maps.
New events.
New voice acting.
New soundtracks.
Updating reward systems.
Guild Missions.
Costume brawl.
Crab Toss.
Moa Racing.

Yep. Seems like they only have 5 people working on the game.

Edit: I’ll just add more stuff as people point out stuff I have forgotten.

And of all that stuff, there are only two things with persistent content that help to keep my attention: Fractals and Guild Missions. (Others who Arena might add the additional maps. ) That’s not a lot really. Sure the fluff holidays might be interesting the first month or two, but I’m long past enjoying them. What I’m looking for is challenging game content- stuff that takes some work to complete, not just clicking on piñatas.

CHALLENGING. GAME. CONTENT.

When our guild (Lords of the Dead) was planning to do an event night and open Temple of Balthazar, I tried researching the meta-event chain and had trouble finding concise information. This prompted me to put together a tutorial guide, viewable at the following link: Assault on Balthazar

I hope you enjoy!

And if anyone on Blackgate is interested in participating in future LotD guild activities, check us out at Lords of the Dead

FRACTAL GREATSWORD

- List your Race, Sex and Class: Norn, Male, Warrior

- Be as descriptive as possible: Smoke particle effect comes out of the flat side of the blade in a linear pattern. It looks fine when swinging the weapon, but really awful while running (either in hand or on back) when the aspect of the weapon changes and the particle effect starts to shoot out the flat of the blade.

Personally I would rather delete that wierd misaligned particle effect and leave the smoke that is aligned with the edges and thereby looks great.

Dont think the price will change until the scavenger hunt.

After my first run in through three fractals, I got a lodestone and two cores from the heavy bag drops. I promptly returned to the bank and TPed my overstock before the market appeared to take notice.

In my experience with other games, an event like this would be a WEEK, not a weekend. A 24 hour cycle per phase does not give much flexibility if you can not arrange your RL around your virtual one.

I think the problem is that the zone appears to lack the density of Cursed Shore… everything is spread out so players do not congregate (except at the bottom of the jumping puzzle!).

November’s monthly achievement involves WvW kills and Dungeon Runs, an obvious attempt to remind all that the “end game” extends past Cursed Shore. It would expect a revamped Precursor process/questline to do a similar thing, and not just be a gold equivalent (which it currently is with TP pricing of the popular ones at 300ish gold.)

When we REPORT a gold spammer, auto BLOCK as well so we do not have to do both functions. Also, since I report for SPAMMING more than any other activity, please make that the default dropdown. Make it easy for us please!
