Guild Wars 2

How many times has this been answered. You bought the core game, you get the core game. LS is exactly like it sounds, you get LS if you were living then. For a nominal fee, you are able to go back and play a time limited event that you would have entirely missed. What you interpret as a problem and breach of business model is actually an excellent opportunity that Anet has taken the time to compile for new users who want to experience past content. They could have easily said “Hey, you missed it, too bad.” like the majority of other design teams, but instead they give you the option to experience it at your leisure.

The major concern I have with the Tempest right now is the trait line. Using the Tempest traits as they are feels lIke a net bad. Aside from a few neat interactions with overloads and negligible effects with auras (maybe scale up the healing one a bit?), there really is nothing going on in the trait line. I’d recommend removing at least a few of the more narrow and niche trait slots and replacing them with traits that have a general beneficial effect, not something that comes up once in a blue moon. Don’t punish the player that wants to play a Tempest with the trait line’s current design, make it so he/she feels happy to be a Tempest.

Well, the expansion sort of is about the consumer, and by extension so is the beta. >.>

Not sure I get the point of this rant at any rate.

Right here OP. About 30% of my guild (of a few hundred) are right there with us. Everyone is jaded with how gw has been going with its lack of content and redux events. We spend more time on gw2’s reddit tracking when something worth doing will come out than in game.

This, what the title says. It’s a pain enough to deal with no weapon swap and only locked utility swap, but making revs weigh each weapon skill they use against their utilities is ridiculous. There is way too much already going on with all these ‘thematic’ abilities (ex:Tablet). I don’t have enough eyes to watch everything you have to watch in pvp plus my weapon energy costs.

My disappointment was not loss of stats, but shifting more stats to gear. Why not provide a stat interface option with a limit of 300 in any one stat and a number of stat points consistent with the 30% buff to gear stats (i.e., less than the 1400 possible under old traits)?

Because the current fad in design is simplicity over functionality

My only regret is that I can’t give you more than one +1.

I don’t support the idea of dungeon selling, but I also don’t support the griefing that this OP is advocating.

Oh alot of us see what you’re saying, it’s just we know Arena Net doesn’t care. This was just another update taking away choice from the end user, which clearly is their agenda these days.

I feel you OP. I’ve been working on the same exact thing and the only problem I have are SSs. It’s gotten so bad that all I do now is grind for SSs. This system is more punishing for continous ascended crafters imo.

What this guy is saying. It is about the slot. By not adding the slot option for non-new players, you’ve virtually made the cost of the expansion sixty dollars for many consumers. It’s not even primarily the economic factor of a 10 dollar increase affecting wallets though, it’s how you treat your consumer-base. This underhanded move clearly shows you have no respect for your playerbase, and will squeeze every ounce of value out of them for your own gain. We don’t like to be taken advantage of, as I’m sure you’ve heard by now.

It’s funny in a sad way because it’s kind of true….

It speaks volumes about the lack of management and communication A-net has with the community in general

I laughed so hard at that video that I nearly fell out of my seat. It deserves it’s own thread. While some things are a little exaggerated, it does make a very powerful point indeed.

Hooray! Thank you anet! EA being a minor is like a dream come true.

Sick thread, much information.

So they said it’s getting nerfed? Haven’t seen anything myself.

I wager this guy just posted a pretty hefty supply. Buyer beware.

+1 op. I’m with you on this, gj articulating it.

100% agree with the op. I guess for casual gamers the current content is sufficient, but anyone else can see this game lacks challenging endgame content. Don’t get me started on repeatability and rewards, those are both awful too.

That’s the state of socially acceptable behavior in pvp nowadays. Sad, right? No reason to be brought down to that level though, so just keep calm and carry on.

I’m expecting it’ll release in Q3 of 2015, but I’d definitely take June 30 ^>^

Thirty one pages in ten days, that’s pretty impressive. People are obviously concerned. My two cents:
I understand that it’s a ‘high concept’ name, but it’s a little ridiculous in its design. There are more definitive and more marketable names with much clearer conveyance; this thread is full of them. When naming something for production or public release, it’s not that good of an idea to try to harken back to ages past with some loose relation. A concise and to-the-point name would have a greater positive reception, imo.

+1 op for trying to bring order to this mess.
+1 Ron for telling it like it is.

I think this is a great idea, intelligent and ordered proposals are much better than these rage rants that people post about the class they lost to last match. This is a reasonable idea, too bad most pvpers aren’t reasonable.

I support the op. Team balance isn’t right.

Does anyone know how long this bltc ticket discount is running for? If not this specific one, how about how long previous discounts ran for?

You mean we don’t run 50s for those sweet sweet empyreal fragments? There should be a reward to top tier endgame content? Good one guys.
I think I’ll go do a 50 right now to get some uninfused rings to decorate my fragments.

One day people will learn that Smooth is 101% sarcasm.

Why not just have the outfits change based on some rng pool from time to time.

That’s what it seems like, the choice locking is pretty narrow and lame.

These guys pretty much hit the nail on the head, this isn’t going to increase build diversity, you are just destroying elementalists.

+1s everywhere.

This is ridiculous. If no one else is gonna say it, then ill be the one to do it.
A brief list as to why:
1. This would be unbelievably immersion breaking.
2. This would be inappropriate for a T-Rated game,
based on how a majority would use it.
3. This would be nonsensical in a combat-driven world.
4. This has no forseeable positive effect on aggregate
player experience, and in turn not be worth a second of
a developer’s time.

Yeah, there goes my two thousand hours of D/d ele. The arcana second trait choice is probably the biggest joke I’ve seen in awhile. Might as well leave it blank.

Yeah I’m right there with ya, tyria is a sweet world. Just looking for some endgame anet

Yeah, this is pretty much the state of the world, as pessimistic as that is. It’s a shame. I just run guild wars with map and say ticked off now.

Please don’t end macros with instruments, they open up so many possibilities.

Cool story. Nice opinions.

I like their group.

The implementation of UW, FoW, DoA, The Deep, Urgoz’s Warren, or, even better, a new elite area that is both challenging and rewarding.

Expansions > LS jank for me. Don’t get me wrong, LS was cool, GJ Anet staff, but it wasn’t anything near expansion material. I’d muuuuch rather have expansions yearly, and pay for them happily, than to continue down the LS path. That is, in the case of the expansion actually being expansive. I’m hoping HoT has a huge content boost, the initial statements just have me worried that it’s rather small.

This, infinite times over. DoA, FoW, UW, all of these elite areas put forth fantastic end game with rewarding (not rng’d nonsense either) outcomes. The templates are seriously already there. They were challenging, entertaining, creative, innovative; the list goes on. +100000 for the re-inclusion of literally any of these.

Absolutely not. It’s the contrary, dungeons are too short! The majority of the core dungeons are over so quickly that it’s not even an experience, nor a challenge. Fractals presents a fine medium for challenging content. Gw needs more long, challenging, and rewarding dungeon-esque content.

All hail Largos. (/o_o)/

But that sweet AP though, I mean what a deal.

AP is a fool’s measuring stick. Anyone who tries to use AP as an experience gate needs to set aside some time to actually think.

Alot of people hit the nail on the head, I’ll just reiterate it in a short form. Do what you want, do what makes you happy. Don’t seek for reason to validate your choice. Look not to be lead by an exterior entity, lead yourself.

It’s because of their gem prices, they get several thousands of gems for a some USD Equivalent value.

Incoming return of the lich outfits. Time to log out for two months. All hail poor consumers.

I don’t even know what’s going on. How, in any manner, can you be complaining for being gifted sumptuous amounts of gold? This is on you dude, you’re taking a blessing and spinning it into a curse through your own work. At some point, people need to help themselves.

Yeah! Down with the man!

But no I follow what the OP is getting at, that UA was pretty different.

Master Togo ^.^

Kuunavang could be sweet tooo.

That would be sort of silly for pvp and stuff hahah.

Guys, come on lol. Stop trying to turn taunts into a ‘The trinity is back’ discussion. It’s a non-sequitur argument. There have been lock down ccs all throughout the game’s history, and this is no different. Just drop the fairy tale dreams about a trinity, that’s not this game.
