Guild Wars 2

Hello. My PvP games played are stuck at 699. Anyone else has this problem?
I play a lot of pvp but the games played number doesn’t increase with my games. This happens from more than a month. Is it a bug? Reported it in game.

Both are next gen games, GW2 wanted to be best mmo ever, best at graphics but not best overall not even close. GW2 tried to be a next gen mmo and didn’t get the job done. I STILL don’t get it how Anet can believe that temportary updates will solve the problems. The game needs perma solutions, permanent updates and fixes. Like a guy said in an earlier post they don’t know what they are doing, are just testing stuff but the testing costs, in our patience and money for them. They have best design devs in the mmo industry but that’s about all, anything else but graphics are about average. World bosses are super easy, they don’t even hit you 1 dmg lol. Skills and traits are just mediocre not to use another word. Leveling to 80 is about easy but when you get there is like watching the grass grow. The boredom is killing you. Leveling over and over and over again for nothing but a skill point every level up. The personal story is good until you get to kill Zhaitan. Never thought there could be such a lame end for a story,,,,people on a ship boom boom the dragon….-.- Cant compare GW2 with the game I mentioned not because of their publisher, cant compare because their devs know what they are doing, know how to shape a huge game, have something else except designers) You cant live only with the look.

So there are 4 days left until 1 August and GW2 didn’t get the 1 mil liked they wanted on facebook.

Meanwhile ESO

https://www.facebook.com/ElderScrollsOnline?ref=stream&hc_location=stream

Reached theirs quite some time ago and they are not even open beta. Lol.

Plus Dragon Age Inquisition has over 1 mil votes and Is going to be released only in the fall of 2014 !!!! that tells which are the real deal. Another game that has over 1 mil votes is GTA 5, and is only going to be released in September….yeah the name says it all but still very impressive,people didn’t even get the game and cant wait it so bad. Still Dragon Age Inquisition is the most impressive in votes, until release will get 2 mil likes for sure. GW2 has almoust a year from release and still didn’t get a mil. That is a fail pretty much. That’s why I kept saying that it needs an expansion and fast. Because huge and I mean huge games are coming. And GW2 will be forgotten very fast. The gaming industry changes very fast and Anet still doesn’t know that or cant adapt to it, they just bring temporary mini games and stories…Please learn to adapt Anet to the changes that occur. Catch the other games from behind or gw2 will be placed on the last place soon. Very soon.

P.S. Guild Wars 2 is a great game. To you, personally, it might not be. That’s your opinion, however wrong it is. The millions of current players, and the Chinese players who are going to be added end-2013/early-2014, also think it is a great game.

With ESO coming out, this game will become another WoW wannabe with some gear grind but no raid content (lol). Anet chose to please the PvE crowd, and they should pay for it dearly.

Don’t mind that guy. He thinks there are millions playing GW2. As far as China goes any of those players that buy this game will blow through it in 2 weeks and I seriously doubt that will end well. The Asian market is far different than the Western one.

Prove otherwise. …..oh wait, you can’t. Stop with your anti-GW2 hate speech. If you don’t like the game, just go play something else. It’s not required that you play it. It may not be for all, but it’s certainly enjoyable for a lot of people (and yes, that number is in the millions). My question is: “What game is so enjoyable to you that you play currently…that you’re avoiding playing just to troll the GW2 forums?”

P.S. @rchu.8945 Purely PvP games are niche games. Just look at EVE Online and Darkfall. GW2 is a great game for all types because it’s a blend of all types having it’s sPvP, PvE, and WvW. The ‘obsession’ with raid-for-gear grinding that WoW/EQ had as a their key designs as being the only method for content needs to die. It’s not. There are many other ways to have content out there, as GW2 has proven with it’s Living Story system.

Oh, and an added note to you’re assumption in TESO being what I read you saying as the “Holy Grail” MMO: please, wake up. The same thing was said about Age of Conan, Star Trek Online, Warhammer Online, Fallen Earth, Planetside 2, Tera, and many other games too. It might be a good game to you, it might not be. However, try to look at it from something other than rose colored glasses.

Hmm how can you say: if you don’t like this game go play something else? This game was for free and I didn’t know ? We paid for it. Anet got good money from the sales and now you just want us to go and play something else because Anet can’t make GW2 worth the money ? Anet knew that they cant get over 60k likes at that time. Was logic. The game popularity is getting lower every day. If they fail to deliver the game they told us, that is their problem. We don’t have to go anywhere because we paid it was not free. If it was a free mmo than yeah, you did nothing for the company and you lose nothing by leaving, Next time they shouldn’t put high goals if they know they cant reach them. The best option they found was temporary patches every 2 weeks ? Really ? I mean really? I play MMOs from over 7 years I think that is just a bad joke. Most classes are broken, www broken, and pve has no sense in doing it. And they want over 60k votes from us to hit 1 mil ? For what ? For temporary stuff? I didn’t want to say it this straight but that: “go play something else” just annoyed me. People are complaining all time about the gameplay and the rest and they give us livestreams about how to do www and the new temporary stuff? Is like ignoring the problem. Ignoring us. Ignoring that we paid for it and want to play a good game not to learn how to play www after almoust a year!

I liked the 1999 part Araziel)
People didn’t “like” GW2 a mil times because the game failed to deliver the promised goods. And by that I mean a great gameplay experience. You cant succed with a game only by its look. When inside is….awful. We judged the book by its cover. Everything looked great at the beginning but when you get deeper in the gameplay and see the other sides of it you get a bad taste and start to come more rarely in the game.
And is like the honeymoon effect too. After the “omg im soo excited about this” steam goes away the reality remains. Which can be cruel at times. I wonder what Anet will say about not being able to get 1 mil likes(after they were sure they will get it for sure).Maybe they would have got the votes if they promised us like 50 gold per player that likes( though that is not earned votes, are votes collected because the players wanted the gold and not because people like the game soo much or the game is sooo good) The way they asked for the likes is good, the likes were earned. But I wonder when they will hit the so much wanted 1 mil likes.

I just think that they failed the “best mmo ever” effect from GW2 and makes me sad Really had huge expecations from this game. Is not the first disappointment game but still had that chance to be " best mmo ever" or “best mmo it could be” Failing to get the mil likes on facebook shows that people are just meh about it. It could have got the mil if a lot of players would have recommended the game to their friends,family. But as I said, GW2 is not a game to be recommened anymore. Hey buy it and after first time you hit 80 you wanna throw it on the window and get your money back. First time the experience to 80 doing all maps and I mean ALL maps not plvling and all events, world bosses and some spvp, WwW is just ok, not that great but ok. But when you hit 80 you do nothing but repetitive leveling at 80 and no sense of improving your char. No wish to get another char to 80 because you will get to the same destination and the same boredom….people argue in lions arch all day, they are bored of it and cant find something better to do. Yeah I give GW2 best graphics in an mmo ever but best mmo ? no way, overall is not worth 1 mil votes. But graphics are not enough for an mmo to succed. Their facebook fail is an example.

So there are 4 days left until 1 August and GW2 didn’t get the 1 mil liked they wanted on facebook. Anyone surprised ? Do you think we will still get what they promised for 1 mil likes even if they didn’t get them ? PS: I really don’t know how they could imagine they will get 1 mil likes….need almoust 60k more likes.Maybeuntil the end of the year. But until August ? -.- Did you recommend the game for your friends to give a like ? I didn’t because Is not a game worth buying anymore. I don’t like to lie my friends in the face saying: Hey look this great game! You should buy it!!!
So in the end the 1 mil likes didn’t happen( a few days left but almoust 60k likes pfff….)

The sPVP can be annoying at times, for example at the spirit watch tower and your in the team near the orb and the other team comes and kills you in seconds after getting down from the starting point. Don’t know if is exploiting but is annoying. And WwW is too imbalanced in my opinion. Had too many gates at 25% and got mopped on the floor by a huge zerg(you don’t even see them only after your dead),or huge zergs coming to take your tower and youre only like 10 people in the tower and none outside, the gate falls faster than you can blink almoust(Vizunah with their HUGE zergs-god knows from where they get so many people) Both have good and bad parts

I remember I Liked the Engineer in sPVP with grenadier build ^^ liked to pawn people from top of clock tower for example) Never had the patience to lvl one outside sPVP.
Could give some tips for sPVP ?

I’m so bored of PVE. I mean really bored. Did all pacts, got 100% world completion 3 almoust 3 times, did all events, personal stories and the rest. I wanna try PVP or WwW more. I’m too bored of PVE so need to try something else. Like many other feel and felt. What you guys suggest ? What’s better? sPVP or WwW? I play zerk war, new in both sPVP and WwW. What’s better at this time ?

So the achievement chests will vary from a tier to another? For example if this time at 5k AP we get 400 gems, next time we get real armor, weps or rare dyes ? And not only skins as we do now. So any idea if the rewards will vary ? It would be boring to get same rewards every time plus that some from now are not cool at all.

I play on Desolation server since beta. But never soloed dungeons except urban fractal until last boss which I could never kill. Name in game is Sandru Daniel if wanna add to friend list so we can try some dungeon sometime. I am PVE oriented and the dungeons are pretty much the last thing to finish.

Yeah but I need all paths to get the dungeon completed

Yeah dungeons are group events but we all know how hard is to find a group, a good group,not bossy types, people with no experience or who leave after a fail. To give another example Sorrows Embrace in Desolation is empty almoust all the time….you rarely and I mean rarely see a player at the entrance…Except CoF all dungeons are very empty, that’s why Anet should attract people to do dungeons…And I think that making the solo option is an idea to solve the emptiness that covered the majority of dungeons. If they don’t do something about it people will let dungeons for killing troll champ in queensdale and other champs in queensdale(what many already do) Plus there are people who only want the achievement, like I do. And when you can’t get not even that…. Because most people do p2 and p4 and you want p1….The dungeons system is too fragile, its sense breaks fast,people lose their patience fast and leave and you have to look for other people over and over again…. It loses the fun element.

Ok I think that dungeons should have the solo option too. Not only in 5. I may not be the only one that finds a tone of junk parties, people who never did Arah for example( and they say that when you’re at boss…) or who leave party after a boss fail and you have to look for other players to finish the dungeon! I want to solo them, even if takes more time than in 5 but still you can finish it! I had tones of parties at Arah p1 and never finished it. There may be other people in this situation too, or with other dungeons. Would be a great thing to give us the opportunity to actually finish a dungeon path without having to look for other people when someone leaves.

I wonder if is it still possible to solo Arah on explo? I want to do it just for the achievement, not fan of dungeons If possible, any tips on soloing it ? Been with many parties but all failed to finish even path 1.Wanna try solo it. I play zerker warrior. DPS built if wonder. So is it still soloable all paths ?

So there will be only tier from 500 and up. So not every ap point you have is so important as they made it appear. Thanks guys, the guide is good too

I will start with a quote from the new achievement stuff explained: " Every point that you’ve earned while adventuring across Tyria will count towards exciting rewards"
So Anet said there will be tiers. But how can every point count if there will be achievement tiers?

/facepalm…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_literacy

Thanks man Very nice of you.

Just use them or destroy them or donate them to others….idk….I use 20 slot bags(160 slots total) and never used the bank for more than 10 slots. Keep what you need and do whatever you want with the useless stuff. Is called cleaning, or making some space

I will start with a quote from the new achievement stuff explained: " Every point that you’ve earned while adventuring across Tyria will count towards exciting rewards"
So Anet said there will be tiers. But how can every point count if there will be achievement tiers? In the end we will use the points like 200 or 350 or whatever any other number to buy stuff like we do with laurels? Each point you earned can’t matter if you have like a 1k,2k,3k,4k tiers….And I have for example 4300 achievement points and the tier is for 4k. The 300 points rest are useless? I don’t get it. Anet could explain a bit more of this plz? There update is tomorrow and want to know how the stuff will work. Or people may start to use their achievement points in a bad way meaning in a not so profitable way for them. How that every point counts work ? People said that we wont buy stuff with points but what Anet says ?
Cheers
Daniel

Nice stories guys So in the end was not a bad idea to make this topic Keep them coming. And maybe we get a guild invite lol xD joke

Celebratty.1632:

I’ve been playing since release and only have 4 friends and no guild.

I… I don’t even like being alone

Find a guild if you don’t like to be alone There must be one suited for you. Or ask for parties or something

I wanna ask people how they chose their server. Why they play on the server they play? Was it only the name or the population level? Did you play from beta on same server? Do you regret your server choice?
I personally play on Desolation since Beta because I liked the name and was maybe best European server at that time! Now I think that the server is not even at 50% as was running like some months ago. In WwW we….are weak…and used to be the best. And in PVE world the population is decreasing. I still love the server, all people I know I here. So what you can tell us about your server? Why you chose X server and not Y ?
Want to hear something about the American servers too, never been there What’s special in your world?

Yeah there are plenty of guilds the who pretend to have everything a player needs! Even cookies!!!) But when you join….the bittersweet taste you get….makes you leave ASAP. And the commander thing in guilds….is just lame, everyone can be a commander for 100g, not that hard…be the boss for 100g not that expensive. What I meant when I said that is funny to play GW2 without a guild is that this game should be about guilds…is called Guild Wars 2…not dungeon runners or grinding guys or idk what other activity people have in game except guilds. There is almoust no reason to be in a guild. can get people for a dungeon party from your friend list, or from the map chat, or last choice from gw2lfg. Playing alone is not actually alone all time because people come and go on almoust all maps. Tried to make some guilds on my own but when I saw how many things it needs….politics,lots of guild influence for each and every upgrade you wanna make to the guild(and there are A LOT). In the end all is about is to have fun.

Nice talk guys There are many great guilds. But most have a bossy “Commander” that tells you what to do, and where to go even if your not in www. And there are guilds that have other mini-guilds in them, if I can call them like that. They play in friend groups, like 3-4. A friend of mine told me that she is in a guild like that, everyone is with their “friends” doing dungeons with the experts! I consider myself to have a very strong knowledge and ability in PVE but when I hear about small elite dungeon parties….all people can make mistakes, once I was in Ascalon catacombs and after failing the burrows like 2 times, a guy left saying we are idiots….Or in another dungeon if I use all signets a guy didn’t want to do another run with me because I use all warrior signets. So what? Is how I play, I don’t mind if he uses signets or something else. I know support skills are better in dungeons but still if the player is used with something he may fail even worse if you force him to play the way you want. The game almoust doesn’t need parties outside dungeons because there are almoust always people around you to help,give and take buffs. Is named Guild Wars 2 but guilds are not a must by far. Are a must in WwW I give you that. Played in many mmos.had some great guilds, met great people, never will forget them! Met a lot of cool people here to in guilds I’ve been in. Hope Anet has plans to encourage people to get in guilds more

Wondered while was wandering around in Blazeridge Stepps, how many people play GW2 since Beta and still play alone without a guild. I’m PVE oriented, too many guilds are WwW oriented, maybe that’s the reason I still don’t have a guild :0 But had a good time helping others on my own. So there are still people without a guild ? Seems funny to play Guild Wars 2 without a guild. How’s the game experience without a guild for you guys?

The only plants that count on plant slayer are oakhearts. The rest are plants but don’t count on the achievement.

High five for USA ! Have a nice day. A 4th July day. Know is the most important day in a year for you guys

Wanted to wish them the best Have many Romanian friends that play GW2, Plus that 2 devs are from Romania originally. Peace

Happy 4 Of July to all americans Hope you guys will have a wonderful day Best wishes to all americans and the devs of course Have a nice national day!

How much longer do we have to get the: “Error attempting to sell” message in the trading post ? When you want to sell large amounts of items it really gets frustrating. Fix this stupid message please. I don’t know if was suggested/reported before but is really frustrating to close and open the trading post like 20 times because you can’t sell your items!

wep and stuff… seems like a pretty big patch, those could be ascended especially that they are related to the achievement points

anyone thinks that this could be the new ascended gear ?

I said achievement points total I’m too happy that we can finally do something with them, with the achievements in general except titles

“You’ll also earn laurels, gems, gold, powerful items, and PvP and WvW rewards as your achievement score grows. " We will get laurels and other stuff for our points not use laurels or gold to buy the new gear. You get them only for achievement points total. They never said we have to used other currency for the new stuff. Except achievement points.

Seems that the new armor is a reward for achievement points. Will be released in 9 July. We will get achievements tiers where you can get gold,laurels, and other strong stuff. Seems there will FINALLY be an achievement shop where you can spend you achievement points…Hope there will be a realistic achievement points required for a peace of armor like 20 or 50 but not like 100 or 1000….

People have nice epic battles, keep them coming Soon I will do Claw Island the third time(Yeah I like personal stories…) Just wanted to see if people love it too, or what other great fights they had About the WwW battles I don’t know much because I have very little experience with WwW. Just got mopped by a zerg train a few times and got mopped on the floor while was with a group trying to get a tower. But in pve world I think this is the coolest one.

I meant it in a good way. I really think is most epic battle. What’s more epic? Killing Shatterer or Lupi ? Nah…. Wanted to see what people think about this part of the personal story.

I believe that The Battle Of Claw Island is the most glorious battle in this game. Do you agree ? Is the battle for Claw Island, where your mentor sacrifices himself to save the rest of the army including you. Did all stories but didn’t find a more epic and sad battle. What you guys think? Saw better stuff than that ?

Should have been there on release but it wouldn’t be bad if they implement it in the near future either Is something that we really need…. and need the use option box too. For example if you wanna eat or drink 200 items you should just be able to type the number you wanna consume….Heard some guy needed over 4 hours of continuously clicking on a drink to get the drunkard achievement. Wouldn’t be easier to just type the number and click confirm? Instead of ruining the mouse and your hand for so many hours? So consuming and buying boxes pls.

This topic is about when you want to buy a large quantity of something from a merchant. For example you wanna buy 100k drinks from the monastery in Queensdale for the drunkard achievement. Why do we have to click 100k times on the item to buy it ? That is just crazy. We should have a box like in the trading post where you type what quantity you wanna buy. Or you wanna buy orrian boxes like over 400 a time,we have to press same button 400 times? Is just not ok. Please put a box near the item price where we can type how much we want to buy.

To bring them back Anet needs to keep their promises before game was launched, meaning to make it the best mmo ever not a mediocre one! Stop bringing monthly temporary patches and trait build patches that ruins people’s chars. Heard that mesmers and engeneers got hit pretty bad by last patch. You make a weak class compared to war or guardian even weaker? Where Is the point? Yeah a game expansion seems to be the only real way to get the game on the track. Not monthly junk updates…. And make leveling not soooo boring please. This is my third time trying to lvl to 80 and it kills me beacause of boredom. There are people who leveled like 10 chars to 80(can’t imagine how the had the that patience). Getting all pois,vistas,waypoints and the rest in a map for 1.5 silver and some junk armor ? Is this a bad joke ? There is no sense in getting all points on all maps except if you want the gifts of exploration for legendaries. Fix all of those and the game could be a better place. Could attract players to play it.

If we were all 80 in PVE too from start the game would have been dead long time ago for good. There is no fun in equal pve for all. That’s why there are so few people in spvp. There are all the same there, difference is only in skill. In PVE the difference is almoust in everything,from gear to gold, players skill,builds…. If you want PVE,PVP at 80 all time go for WwW. People will never accept a game equal in pvp and pve! would be boring to hell. I don’t know why would you want equality in all aspects of the game. People are not equal, the game should not be equal for everybody. So for me is a no…better bring an expansion. Or faster leveling to 80 if people complain about leveling to 80.

Most people on dragonband are in World versus world… Dragonbrand is ranked number 5 in WvW, so its a WvW server, not PvE.

Sucks to say it, but thats where most people are

But how is anyone supposed to know this from the start lol…i’m a beginner!

also i went into a WvW castle and nobody there too….

Omg I NEVER thought that there are servers that empty -.- Sad future. Just guest on other servers and see how’s the population there. PS: if you enter www while guesting you get kicked back on your server. And if you log out too.

And grinding laurels to get the ascended acc’s. Devs should find a way to make mmos with grindind for mostly all the cool stuff. People had very high expectations from the game….but that was almoust a year ago.I personally don’t hope for too much from this game anymore. Had the potential but is just another victim of grinding.

Even Desolation server is very empty compared to some months ago. I play on it since beta,but don’t like how the population level goes. People got bored of the game after getting to 80 and basically they left since Anet has no plans for an expansion. And the server combine will not happen any time soon. Anet seems happy with the servers as they are.

What to do with crafting boosters if you don’t craft? Are account bound so just destroy them? Make them tradeable or something because are really useless for people who don’t like crafting. Got it from black lion chest and remembered that those are really useless if your not a crafting guy….Give them a use for all people pls!

Yeah and there are many people with over 10 chars at 80 meaning 10 gifts,must get something for that except being used of legendaries. Thy are account bound than give something else account bound in exchange for them. Like unique weps, skins, idk something that you can use! The gifts of exploration are useless now except if you want a legendary.

Anyone else keeps their gifts of exploration in their bank? Because there is nothing to do with them except the legendaries? I have 2 gifts and soon 3. Please give us something to do with them. For the people who don’t go after legendariy weps. I think there should be something you can do with the,,,,you got all maps to get them,is some work there! Only for legendaries? Give other options to use them please. Or the only solution is to destroy them in the end….to destroy what you get from getting all maps at 100%. Really not worth getting all maps for those who don’t go for legendaries. Give the gifts of exploration a use.

I’m not that much in legendaries or www but I’m very much the pve type. Been there.done that. The graphics are great but seeing same maps till you get crazy is enough to get bored of this game. Got all maps twice and I’m way too bored to get them the third time. No point in it, did almoust all events,all hearts, skill points and stuff…The exploring gets lame the third time you do all the maps again…sad sad and sad
