Guild Wars 2

I’d like to have at least one sensible answer from Anet on this matter… because honeslty, smashing all these threads together is not really helping if you’re not bothered providing us with an answer.
Why have a bug-reporting forum anyway, if you’re just not going to reply?

My issue is with the monthly: I got the reward at 2/2 but nothing for getting the 4/4… while others in my guild did get double rewards…

If you’re an experienced player, position yourself in Lane 3. That’s where it often goes wrong imo…The chain is not severed, people start blaming eachother in chat (because yeah, sure, you have time to do THAT in combat! <_<) and it goes downhill from there on. That’s the experience I had with all failed attempts. (oh and please stop arguing with the commanders in game, that just makes everything more confusing for others….)

So yesterday, we finally put that maroinette down and I ended up cheering too late for the achievement…

I think bigger guilds can defeat her more easily with some organization, try to make arrangements in you guild and rally your players, and place experienced players on the hard sports. Sure you’re going to have people running around like headless chickens, but there is no way you can prevent that from happening so you better take precautions and organize yourself.

Besides, I wonder how often she goes down now… more and more people are beginning to understand the mechanics , so she is bound to go down more often . I wonder wat the statistics are on that matter.

2. find friends who do not stack and enjoy playing with them

Yes, like u casual players, it’s a perfect alternative… I did AC quite a few times now, and we usually take on the spider head on, the old fashioned way and it also works. I admit, I usually always play with the same people so we all know each other.

On the other hand, we’re often also one player short for the party. Before entering a dungeon we advertise in partychat, that we’re a casual group… but lot’s of players we invite still leave the party when they see we don’t do that sort of tactics. So if you want to try the 2nd alternative, you’re welcome to add me to you contacts list… I’ll contact you if we’re 1 person short.

My friends and I have never kicked people for applying different tactis. It’s not wrong to have a different tactic, you might even pick up some good stuff from other people. In the event we actually do apply a stacking, or any other type of tactic, we do try to explain it in the chat first. Because honestly, some dungeons really require a measure of tactical group play.

Just exploring and suddenly found a jumpable path that can reach the old F/U path.

Cool… how far along that old path can you actually go? Curious about it now…

Lucey.1452:

So did your friend ask her out or not???

Soooo…. did he? Very curious about that too

Gaile Gray.6028:

I certainly sympathize with the issues that you are having. This is not something that our Support Team can resolve for you, so please do not submit support tickets to ArenaNet or NCSOFT.

You truly do need to contact DirectSong directly. The last point of contact I had for issues was as follows: gloria@maxsteineragency.com. I’m afraid that that contact info is some months old, but I suggest that you send an email to Gloria and see if she can act on your behalf with any issues involving unfulfilled orders.

Best of luck!

Gaile, come on …

If people start sending tickets to your Support Team it’s because DirectSong refuses to anwer. Me and my husband have ordered a CD around the end of May 2013, and we still haven’t received it.
We’ve sent over 15 support tickets by now!!! Only THREE of them got answered, the last one stating that they would contact us within the next 48 hrs and that was 10 days ago. In the meantime, they’ve got my money and I got nothing.

I understand that Support Team can’t do anything about it… but please please please…. REMOVE THE LINK from the GW2 homepage!!!!! You just keep on KNOWINGLY sending your own crowd to that borderline fraudulent website, and you do’nt even seem to be worried about it !

Personally, I’m seriously considering reporting SoundDirect to my law-enforcement agency… I will try and have other people do so to, just to get that website blocked from games in my country.

I’m sorry but we’re all playing a “massive” “multiplayer” online RPG here… doen’t that kind of imply that there will be zerg events?

I honestly don’t mind zerg events… sure there are downsides to it. Yes, it is chaotic, and it seems like mindless AOE spamming, but that’s only what you make of it when you start playing like that. As Aberrant says… it will get you killed in the end.

In my opinion : The way you percieve the zerg-event, depends on how you play it…

Try and play a different style in the zerg events : be a leader, not a mindless spamming robot and take part in the chat discussion… usually there are people trying to coordinate the lot… follow a commander, try an buff the right people with your skills in the middle of combat; ressurect your fellow gamers and don’t leave them lying there to watch the entire thing…

I’m lucky to be able to play with a group of friends that are always on skype, which makes up for good tactics discussion during the zerg event. And I like that.
If you think it’s a mindless, then it’s because you make it so.

To all of you who think the dungeons are too hard: ever learned of a learning curve?

Yeah sure, it’s always hard when you try to do a dungeon the first time (after a major update)… but in the end me and my guildies always figured out how to do it. The very first time we met Kohler we were thinking “this is hard, we’re never getting through this, blah blah…”,… a week or two later we were running AC in 30 minutes.

Have some patience, ressurect and try again… and stop wasting time in blaming the game for being to difficult and rather try to figure out the mechanics on how to beat the bosses instead of quitting.

It’s much much much more satisfying to kill any hard boss after several failed attempts, than to run through a dungeon mindlessly spamming your skills because its so easy.

Want easy? Go farm low level area’s, have fun with the events there… Want to fight hard fights? Want think about a strategy? Want to team up with guildies to figure out a way to tackle that hard boss and have fun together… go handle a dungeon.

I know GW2 is not GW1 but how about a standard high end material drop? Like the diamond wich always dropped in the underworld chest reward for completing the underworld. That way, you’re sure of at least ONE worthy drop.

I know you guys don’t want to make a ‘remake’ of GW1 but it has some good mechanics that shouldn’t just be thrown overboard.

2. It’s a mob multiple people were attacking and I didn’t do a large enough percentage of the damage to get credit for the kill

I find that one quite annoying actually… I remember one of the karka-events in Lions Arch… kept shooting at targets but they just went down too quickly. And I wonder, how do you deal with that when you’re a guardian and you focus on buffing your party members instead of dealing a lot of damage… ?

uoga.2109:

as a Mesmer I find dodging completely useless as I prefer to stay away from mobs while my clones are doing the job, but well… in order to complete my daily, I just equip a sword and pistol, I get any mob and keep double clicking “move forward” button until I get bored – then I just finish it with my regular attacks. Usually it takes like 4 – 5 mobs to get my daily done.
Maybe this is not as professional as learning timings etc, but works for me.

Really? I still get a lot of aggro, even with the clones (Even Decoy sometimes doesn’t seem to work properly… I’m stealthy and I still get hit). I do use my shatter skills a lot though, perhaps that’s what makes me a target sometimes… .

Saulius.8430:

as far as i know, its a lifetime crafter achievement. if you know what i mean.

So true !!!

Dodging is a hotkey on my mouse… it’s assigned to the scroll-button. I find this to be most effective. Also, I find that dodging creatures with ranged attacks (like the ascalonian ghost rangers in the Charr starting area) are the easiest to dodge.

I get the same problem every once in a while, but usually I’m in a big zerg when it happens. I guess I just don’t do enough damage before the target dies to earn XP.

Don’t think the elimination of the “res-rushing” is going to increase the teamwork, all the comments above about PuG’s kicking people who die and aren’t going to take people in their group are going to apply…

How is a less experienced player ever going to learn the mechanics of a specific dungeon if he keeps lying dead on the floor for 15 minutes while the experienced ones finish off the boss? I don’t see the experienced players commit suicide in order for the less experienced one to ressurect (because let’s face it… ressurecting in combat is a no go! And people don’t generally die in spots where there are no foes… usually you’re lying in the middle of a mob).
