From what I’ve heard about the beta the difficulty of the mobs was nerfed down…why is that so?
Anet has said that that wasn’t intentional. The difficulty in the 2nd beta was quite high (for open world content that is) and Anet has said that that difficulty is what they are happy with.
Yet we’ve had no word since from them on whether they’re actually gonna do anything about it. Other mobs, such as the beetles in drytop, were nerfed as well and they can still be damaged from any direction so they haven’t done anything yet. This really will make me regret trusting them with my pre-purchase unless they change it back.
One can only hope.
What baffles me the most that you’ve done group content rewards right in SW and Drytop. The biggest rewards are for doing the “team” objective but you get a little extra for doing small events. Of course this system has it’s flaws but, you know. As it is with the mordrem invasions, it only encourages selfish tag&run.
I understand he patch was a little one-off event, so I wasn’t expecting anything out of the park but I would’ve expected a better use of existing, functional systems in the game.
This was advertised as an event for new players so what’s up with not gaining any xp for killing mobs? Maybe this is to prevent farm(?) as is the case with loot but the driving force in doing these events is and will always be seasoned players doing kitten for rewards. They couldn’t care less for xp, they won’t farm mobs for it. What’s wrong with new players getting that little bit of extra motivation to do these events since they are already having trouble getting tags among downscaled top-gear lv80s? Are you afraid that these players would level too fast? Since you get no xp, even veterans won’t bother leveling their alts doing these events so that just amplifies the glaring issue of tagwars.
Then there’re the rewards, only purchasable with blooms, which are awarded in very tiny amounts AND a sizable amount of gold. And no, I’m not talking about that >50silver prize being high for older players, but more how it is an obnoxious amount of gold for new players trying to get by. Freebies can’t even use tp to it’s full extent, how on earth do you expect them to get that sort of money? Don’t make your game feel like a grind to them, please. That is mean and will turn off a lot of people.

1. Download the Gw2Setup.exe
2. Create a folder on your desktop named Guild Wars 2
3. Put the Gw2Setup.exe in the folder named Guild Wars 2
4. Rename the Gw2Setup.exe to Gw2..exe
5. LaunchYes Gw2..exe I am aware of the 2 .
But this worked for me.
This actually worked. Thanks.
Anet might wanna look into this if they want new players to be able to actually play the game.
Having the same problem as I tried to reinstall. The launcher stops/crashes at the same point OP’s does.

Anet already stated they were taking a break from story producing so that they can present a better story than season 1. Like with TV series, I expect the new season to begin after summer – though maybe it’ll start with the anniversary, or DragonBash (a good way to introduce going after a new Elder Dragon).
There’s a lot in the game, so much so that I would find you a bloody liar if you said you did everything in your preferred format of PvE, WvW, or sPvP.
They’ve said that the two-week model is good because it keeps people playing actively. Can’t see myself playing for multiple months with what we have now and I don’t think I am the only one. Getting players back in the game could be a major problem after a a brake like that.
Excpect, you know, if they announced an expansion.
