Guild Wars 2

Save your tickets. If the last event is any indication, they will be sellable at the end, but if you play the game as intended you’ll be penalized.

Last event, if you didn’t vote, you got to sell your unused tokens for gold, but the converted support buttons are worthless. So the people that played as the devs intended weren’t supported by being able to sell converted support buttons for more than unused tokens.

I think the root of the problem is this game tries to please the action gamer, the not-so-action gamer and the intellectual gamer at the same time. Berzerker armor allows one to stand in one spot and hit things, which is good for the not-so-action gamer.

Unfortunately it forces the game to have only 2 dodges, which seriously penalizes the hardcore action gamer, who would like to have at least 5 dodges per fight. (If they increased the number of dodges, I’d be quick to switch to zerker, which would become soooo overpowered!)

Likewise, because of the complexity of this game, they can’t increase the effectiveness of the toughness or healing boost to stats or the intellectual player would become unkillable, especially in groups. Perhaps they are already too OP as it is.

So in the end, you have sub par not-so-action gaming, sub par intellectual gaming and sub par action gaming. There’s no fix that won’t generate a class action lawsuit. Enjoy the game for what it is. This isn’t a niche game that does one thing exceptionally.

I have good news and bad news. The good news is there is an absolute price cap to gems, where $10 of gold bought from a gold seller will buy 600 gems. The bad news is we’re not even close to that absolute cap.

I received an email from a seller selling 10G for roughly $2.25. The gold seller prices have come down a bit, and they may be able to bring the price lower. Using today’s price using 1G and 77 gems to find out the conversion rates, here’s where the prices stand. (I would have liked to use 10G and 1000 gems, but I don’t have that) 1G can be traded into 56 gems, and 77 gems traded into about 1G.

At $2.25 for 10G, you’d get 44.44G for $10.

To be equal to AreaNet’s 600 gems for $10, that 44.44G would have to buy 600 gems. (roughly, removing consideration for exchange rates being slightly worse when converting gems to gold.) Therefore, 100 gems would cost 7.4G. and 1G would buy 13.5 gems. That’s roughly 4.15 times the current exchange rate. Do you think gems can quadruple in price?

A character expansion slot would then cost 59.2G. (converting the gold into 800 gems) That seems steep, but I think it’s possible. Hardcore farmers could earn that in a week. An addicted player might need a month of farming, and the casual player could buy the expansion for a little over $13. (except they don’t sell gems in that quantity :P)

What it comes down to is: Do you think the price of gems can go up until the gold sellers/botters price themselves out of the market? Or do you think gem prices will stabilize at some point that botters will always be around? As the $10 approaches 600 gems, fewer and fewer people will buy from botters. It’s ingenius, really. And while I really think the final prices will drive many beginning players away, there is a stable end somewhere in the future.

I want to use my X-Box joystick for this game! I wouldn’t even mind if I had to use the mouse for pointer control, since it’s not really necessary during a fight, except to pick a specific target out of a crowd. Just make the controls very flexible, like allowing one of the joysticks to strafe in one direction while turning in the opposite direction, so I can strafe in a circle while kiting, instead of having to use two joysticks. That way, my right thumb will be free to activate attacks.

Because of the way I hold my mouse, my right clicking finger frequently overlaps onto the left click, causing me to move forward when I don’t want to.

I need a way to edit all the mouse button controls! And have multiple keystrokes or mouse button and keystroke combinations.

So that’s why I keep losing my target and start firing at other foes! I don’t understand why we can’t edit the mouse button controls or do combinations with mouse buttons and keystrokes.

SIGNED. I agree completely. My right click gets interrupted frequently and I end up autoattacking something by accident, with attack 1, wihch is almost never my opening attack. They also need to enable mouse button editing and combinations with keystrokes. And an option to simply toggle between turning and pointer control with a right click.

I would like a 3rd column of customization too. And the ability to use combinations of buttons. that way I can use mouse button 4 and key 1 to activate power 4, mouse button 4 and key 2 to activate power 5, mouse button 4 and key 3 to activate power 6, mouse button 5 and key1 to activate power 7, mouse button 5 and key 2 to activate power 8 and mouse button 5 and key 3 to activate power 9. That way I won’t have to take my left hand off the keyboard or use the mouse pointer to activate the powers that are out of my left hand’s reach.

Of course, joystick controlling would be the bomb too. I wouldn’t mind if I had to use a joystick and a mouse at the same time. (the mouse would only be for pointer control)

the worst part is if the right click gets interrupted quickly and you happen to have your pointer on a foe, you start Autoattacking!!! Yeah. This is a bad, bad bug.

I suggest making an option to switch the right click to a toggle so it doesn’t have to be held down. My finger is hurting.

I have the same problem, usually right after starting a fight or right after talking to a contact. My right clicking gets interrupted or simply doesn’t work. Sometimes my pointer is near the map but not on it, and right clicking moves the map instead of turning.

The BIGGEST problem with it is I frequently accidentally start AUTOATTACKING an enemy that I don’t want to attack!!!!

Worse yet, THERE’S NO WAY TO EDIT MOUSE BUTTONS! I NEED to toggle OFF that right click autoattack.

Also I suggest making an option to toggle between turning and using the pointer with a single right click, so I don’t have to constantly hold down the right click button. My finger gets sore. Is that not done because another game (like Dragon Nest) has patented or trademarked that option?
