Guild Wars 2

On day one of head start… i created norn and named him Old Saint Nick. I was not around for the winters day kick off and missed out on the toy sack back skin. Will this be out again? please say yes.

Just made this new intro for my youtube channel with a shiny new gw2 oldschool logo :P

chronus.1326:

So that’s it.

Right now it feels a little bit like the transition between Fallout II and Fallout 3. It took the devs a failed game to realize what was wrong and make New Vegas feel like Fallout again. But here we cannot have that luxury because it’s an mmorpg.

So then that is what they can do is take what it is now and continue to redesign the game… Anet always says it is a ever changing world? Well show your Fans, Your Cult, your followers, What was guild wars is really now guild wars 2 not some mocked up form of wow or swtor with a different twist. But a truely magnificent piece or art if you will. With side quest and skill caps. With real boss fights not an "I just killed a queen spider never died and now i was owned instantly by a graveling that does a knock down 4 times and i can not do anything to counter.

Please make Guild Wars 2 Way more like Guild Wars 1 if you expect it to survive at all. At this rate i dont think it will last even longer then SWTOR “A complete WoW rip in all rights”. And that is just sad!

Anet if you cant listen to the people and change what needs to change your game will not survive.

PS I Truely love this game in all aspects but i like gw1 way better cause it was different.

It’s the thought that you can do it. The thought that I could travel back and forth between Lion’s Arch to Droknar’s Forge 200 times a day and it wouldn’t cost me a single gold. That is the feeling of freedom! That is the feeling of an “open-world”! It’s when nothing holds you back. It doesn’t matter how low a traveling cost is. The moment you introduce it, no matter how big the world is, it some way, it encases, closes off that world a little bit.

Very well stated Chronus, and now I have to change my mind on the matter all together… you are right we cant accept a lower fee. It should be removed all together. As you stated there are many ways to gain our moneys back armor damage, buying gems for storage/bank space, the needed thread/butter milk/tin to make our crafting items, the market, legendary weapons lol that is a few hundred gold there i might add.

I ask one more time for a Dev… Please join our discussion on traveling cost. We hear you when you speak. Now please hear us. We want to talk about change.

From what I can see, the two main goals of waypoints might be to encourage real travel, and to penalize unprepared travel. You use cost as an excuse for not enjoying the world’s beauty, yet the very goal you state is entirely focused on skipping the world. Since I first picked up the game I loved the world’s art, and I very much love travelling it on foot. I enjoy assessing all the minute details of way the artists placed certain things in certain ways. If I could easily teleport to only where my immediate goals are, there’s a lot of territory I’d spend no time in.

Man Tera you really hit it on the head here… Here is my thoughts on that also. I have a level 80 Ranger 100% map completion. It took me some time to get, Because I did enjoy every ounce of Beauty the game intended me to see. All the stories from the hearts and all the DE I triggered by saving someone ect… ect…

I am re living those moments once again on my Warrior now, and it is again an amazing place to see once more… cept I am in the vigil and a norn now so it is slightly different.

My point here is that I have seen this all on my ranger (which is my main) and when I want to travel I would like to get there and back with as little hassle as possible. If i want to explore the beauty of Tyria… I will do so on my Warrior,Elemental,Thief or Mesmer.

Tera your post was awesome I give you that and please hear me now, I am not wanting the price to go away but rather maybe we can have a bonus reduction for having map completion or level 80 bonus or something but it is quit high in a toll fee.

And again I ask a Dev to come sit with us, take about travel cost with the people of Tyria and open up to your travelers…

Hastur.6231:

Traveling is a money sink, money sinks exist to balance the economy.
If one money sink goes, TP prices increase for everything. My Bro-tip for reducing traveling costs is try using asura gates as often as you can, the price to teleport to a way point increases with your relative distance from it. Also I make an average 3 gold a day from 1 dungeon full explore run. And there is no way in Gods name I’m gonna travel 3 gold worth of money in one day.

I think that the fact you are running dungeons is mute… What if i am not a dungeon runner or a DE grinder. I want to feel I do not need to run and grind to travel. Yet maybe if I had a reason to pay for travel, as in there was way more perks then just a stagnate map to run aimlessly around to gain a few bucks to comp me for going to the next place.

I love this game and would love to see a Dev in here to shed some on this topic….

Anet if your listening please could you give us a response we could use your thoughts on this as well.

When Helping Tzark Obtain ghostly essence… my team and I are attacking burrows and standing right next to them but getting continuous obstructed and out of range and it is taking very long to bring them down.

Ranger Maulgor

I really dont like that fact we have multi servers. I liked how gw1 was designed and gw2 (as much as i love the game) the same of mmo everyone is used to. I like how gw1 was not affraid to place everyone in a big box even though that was only for towns im sure it is possible for the whole game to be a sandbox EVE did it and it worked.

I also do not like the way you can be in more then one guild and also represent any ol guild you want that takes away from they team aspect. I however think it is cool to be in more then one guild yet maybe one toon per guild and you cant switch you have to quit and join since they only allow you to have 4 guilds atm anyways makes no sence half my guild is representing other guilds and to me that is crazy.

Sorry maybe that part should be its own post anyways I am for one big server to be honest…

1. it would keep everyone on the same server no matter what guild or faction you in.
2. would keep the spying and cheats down to a minimum
3 would definitely make for a fun game everyone on just one server. would be interesting.

Ranger Maulgor

I would like to click a button next to my skills bar that posted a link showing my team mate my build. Simular to pinging your template in gw1.

As it is now i have to ctrl and click each of my skills and makes it look like spaaaaammmm.

Ranger Maulgor

I stopped using my mini i have from HoM do to the fact that when you send all crafting mats to their perspective home… your mini’s go also. So why not allow you to put your mini pet in a mini slot like your bow or axe or sword. when you equip your axe it isnt in your inventory anymore but rather on your person.

Problem solved and you would see more people sporting they mini’s like the old days…

Ranger Maulgor

Yeah no kidding… In the beginnning you couldnt post something less it was market value now you can post buy orders in there for let then they will allow you to sell them for lol why it is a horrible sight like some tagger came along and spray painted all over the tp

Lelouch Lamperouge.3716:

We really need an actual trading menu system up in this game. The Trading Post is fine for lower priced items, but when you hit the higher end gear; it becomes too much of a drain on profits to sell it on the TP.

Take destroyer weapons as an example. The usual goes for around 30 gold. Just to put it up, it costs 1.5 gold. The 15% sales tax they take is around 4.5 gold. That’s a total of 6 gold lost. I’m up for gold sinks regulating the economy, but that is just ridonkulous.

Lelouch you have a awesome point there. I would love to have a open trading system again as in gw1… Nothing better then when market goes down and you instantly see WTB/WTS in local chat. But there is no way to trade you have to use mail and well some people are just not honest enough.

Yet i disagree with using open trading just cause it is costly for high end items and like you said it is 1.5 to place it there and 4.5 tax well you get your posting fee back after your item sold. But if you take your item back off the market they keep it. It is like a penalty so to speak.

And i think having an open trading system will allow you to sell for a less then fair price to the person next to you as sort of a middle ground price not market value but higher then buy orders.

Ranger Maulgor

I too play a ranger as my main… and i find it very frustrating that the name doesnt go back if you charm a new pet then change it back to what it was just before. Name resets

I think that is an awesome idea.

What do you need the gold for than? You got your full exotic set, you almost finished map completition and story.
– You can earn enough for repairs in WvW so you mostly don’t need to grind PvE to fuel WvW.
- If you are losing more money in dungeons than making it, you are doing something wrong.

Well i would like to save up for a squad commander manual yet that is 100g and also want to work on legendary weapons. That again is like 120g each how can i get money saved up when i have to pay so much each repair. one good repair is like 10s for me easy that isnt even broken. And trust me i do map travel as little as possible. Of course I am making money now with selling small things and doing hearts but i have to say, i have 7 gold saved up in the back since i am trying to make the golden title. I am just looking to the future when i am 100% and have to farm orr to hopefully gain rare/exotic drops since i need to bank all my high end wood and orr for legendary…. doesn’t leave much to sell so how will i make the gold to get items later when i am constantly diminished

and why wont my signature work lol i have tryed both html and bbs

Pennry.9215:

Serious Question: Once you have all this Gold and get all the gear, etc you want, what do you plan on doing in the game?

Snip long rant about making money in game.

Stop porting/training around everywhere. Take a few minutes to kill stuff. Stick around and do events and/or complete Hearts. Money is everywhere.

I Agree with the whole Traveling costing way to much. However I do understand you need a tax if you will on the game to make sure your economy stays stong. Armor repairs cost an arm and a leg as it is. We are the forerunners on this level trying to figure out the builds, skills and balanced hero’s to run them successfully. So this is a given tax.

And for the Traveling… I think making Traveling a flat tax or free for that matter would be a great idea…

Penny as for running around doing missions hearts ect… I am 98% world complete I have full exotic armor and weapons on my level 80 ranger. I have only 2 more story line missions to do and a handful of hearts/skill points/vistas to complete and then i have no way to make money in the game other then grinding out what i have already done. and since you make no money in dungeons. I will be forced to roll a new toon just to make more money cause i am not good at the market.

So maybe the solution is or a benefit for 100% world completion, 100% Story line could be free map travel… I’m just saying.

is missing from the game… I really liked the fact you could monitor your guild by seeing that a member has not logged in for 1 day/1 week/ 2 weeks ext… This is a great tool to keep population control on your guild. Specialy since we have to pay for a bigger guild.

Maybe you can put it in the Roster page and add a tick in the column filter. please help us maintain our guilds a bit better i have heeps of members not online as do im sure lots of other guilds never knowing if there real members anymore.

I am wondering when the guild halls will be rolled out… I also would like to know in the guild halls will we be able to use influence to add upgrades to said guild halls as in merchants, banks, trading posts, crafting stations?

I would really like to see these things in the guild hall. I would make game play so much more easier and fun also allow us as a guild and friends team mates to interact in a central place.

And it just might free up some needed server space
