the thing is,
no one cares about the new player
Ditto! You wanna play the game? Get a zerk gear, zerk build and then stack, damage, rally,
revive, rally, revive….till u reach next room and repeat.
This game wuld solve all of its the problem if the downed state could be removed completely.
in 1 hit u wuld obtain that:
1)people must learn mechanics
2)zerk addiction wuld die
3)Support/healing/tanking builds/gear wuld become viable and all the content wuld becomeincredibly replayable
But we are talking of a game that aims to casuals right?“P1, everyone welcome”
It’s that simple, really. Removing downstate is a bad idea, and it would impact bad players morethan the guys you’re jealous of.
Jealous of who? Unskilled players doing exactly what i wrote about? (stack, attack, rally, revive
repeated up to the boredom?) Did you ever played a mmo that require skill for real? Games where
the best (granted) reward comes if you complete an event, and not if you fail it? (Blinx any1?)
Removing downstate will force players to care about what they do, cause once you are dead….you
are dead. NPE tells you nothing? And btw you confirm my theory, the game is designed for lazy
players…no-one is a bad player if you lead him to become good.
Think what you want, i shuld be masochist to be jealous of an rng based, mono-build based,
farming based game.
For your info the game is uninstalled and like that it will remain until i read that the game is
in a decent state. (but i will read about this on independent, whiteknights free forums…not
here). I was just checking the state of the game (tho actually you helped me to understand even
if u didn’t want…aka same as always…same community, same mechanics) And so far all sites are
describing the game with word that prolly i can’t repeat. Anet is a bit allergic to non-"omg this
is the best game ever" comments.
That said enjoy GW2! I’ll put my jealousy into real skill requiring Mmos…but lol. Thank you for
the infos anyway^^
p.s. the new “flood filter” is fantastic^^

Well you have to earn the gold. Earn gold = earned weapons and armor.
I don’t have to work for gold in this game, I just buy it with irl money because I can. I would much rather do that than a whole dungeon for 1 gold when legendaries cost 3-5k. My complaint is that I have nothing to work for, and buying gold to buy my items isn’t.
There’s a definition for games that allows usesrs to buy best items with real money. Even (supposed to be) hard to earn titles like “dungeon master” are accessible by spending real money to pay runners but…hey…i don’t remember that definition…anyone able to help me…..lmao
With mega-server there is no clearly defined way to avoid others. The map fills, a new one is produced, not enough people for a new map then you are with the same people whether you guest to another server or not.
Thanks for the reply. Tryed right now guesting both on the most poulated server and the less one. Got the same copy, at least the people/guilds i saw around were the same.
Guess i can ony deal with it.
I start buy saying sorry for my poor english, not my 1st Language, not even the 10th thanks to my awful school system and the “nationalism” of my country. (I won’t say which 1 to not give any chance about flammig about that.) I add that every comment about my english not containing a comment on-topic/flamming/trolling, etc wll be reported (according to the rules of the forum) to keep the post as much clean and constructive as i can.
My sorry goes to Vayne. You are often subject of trolling/rude comments (mines included) but there’s a reason for that. You are to much present…it’s like in RL…if the same person is always there, can happen that the only noise of his voice becomes annoying and u dont care much if he/she’s saying right or wrong things, you just get
annoyed by his/her voice (luckly my wife doesnt like Gw2 and videogaming in general or i would be in big trouble after this statement^^). Of course no one can say you when u shuld or not reply to a post, but keep in mind that jokes/trolling/rude speaking culd be there due to you high presence in the forums. That said, i renew my sorry, i’ll avoid in the future.
Due to lack of content, i was leaving the game to take another break. Well, nothing worth playing out ther (for me) so i reinstalled GW2 with the intent of playing the game trying (or at least give a chance) to those activities that never attracted me.
Speaking moslty of Jps, dungeons, achievements in general.
Comes out that some of them is giving me fun, the only “rule” i
gave myself is “don’t eat the cake all in once.” The Npe didnt touch me much since im not altaholic, so i went for cheapy collection and a second world completition and , why not, some of those new colours and some (craftable aka not behind-rng skin) i like.
So far the new way to play it’s working, but still there’s something that goes wrong.(yay Anet, we will never be happy, deal with it…it’s our "job"after all^^)
In particular i need sum suggestion from those who played while i was away (left around last september if i remember good).
So there are my questions:
1)I dont like to farm champs, i still prefer to farm what i need via single mob farming. Problem is that i’m not the only one thinking like this. Due to the incredibly op ferocity (when i left it was called critical damage, but the change of the name also resulted in an incredible increase of damage dealt making evrything too easy) i have problems farming when someone is willing to join me to farm the same type of mob.
As Elementalist, i often use staff to allow ppl willing to join to be able to loot since staff attacks are slow and allow other players to deal enough damage to tag the mob and loot.
Too bad that many (mostly thieves and wars, i’m not generalizing, there are polite wars/thieves out there) think that they are op. They come and start bi-shooting everything. In the beginning i thought “ok, i can go to another spot, no problem”. After a while i got sicked, went to d/d with the opposite result (they were annoyed by my damage + high mobility allowing me to reach next mob before em and they went away). Well, i don’t like to act like this.
It’s ll about loot? People is not able anymore to have fun? I was used to group, speak, joke and the fun was right when the loot was bad with the group linking “Fusk”, “Discharged Lodestone” and such…
Last episode: i was farming with 2 funny charrs(both wars in almsot full ascended gear), every1 was controlling his damage to allow evryone to tag the mob, and even the loot was fine…until 2 thieves from the same guild appeared starting to kill everything without any respect for others, even using waypoint to skip the 4 sec run to reach the mob-respawn point. (im speaking about the spark-farm around dwayna temple that usally is done by running clockwise).
Dinner is coming and i have to stop here skipping directly the question:
ofc i cant report this people for acting wierd but maybe i can avoid them by guesting on another server hoping to get a lower (or simply more polite) population.
Is this possible or even by guesting the megaserver will put me in a map-copy based on my home-server?
Thank in advance for any info. And sorry for the river post (it was supposed to be much longer so expect more for your pleasu…errr…annoyance^^…this was only the 1st question :-D)
Correct me if i’m wrong. Im not an altaholic, but being bored i was trying a guardian right before the patch. Also because i was missing the “hint” achievement from guard. The “f1” “f2” skills were there even if locked, at level 7 f2 was available…now i dont see those skills even in the panel…did they cut the “i’m curious about what this skill will do” hype too?
For a guardian? Wut?
Yup, i uninstalled the game so i cant check righ t now but i recall that the “f1” “f2” up to “f4” skils were there in the panel just they were not available until the required level, but still visible (im speaking of Aegis fo example)
Ah ok. Seriously, the function button skills are spaced even worse than the others.
maybe i didnt explain myself well (sorry english its not my 1st language), or i didnt understand your last post (sorry if its that the case). But in the video i cant see what u call “function buttons” atop of the 5 main skills (before they was there). At least allow players to stay curioous about what that currently unusable skill will do, this way a new player will think that apart the 10 slot skill bar nothing more will come out.
Nah, no worries. Spanish? Anyway, guards only have the three buttons up above but they’re from the F1 – F3 buttons. Different keyboard? Still more anyways, I hadn’t heard that guardians were having trouble with these, just rangers and eles.
Okay lol, they are 3 :-D As said i dont know much about other classes, my main is an ele often used in d/d and i dont have problems switching to the right attunement i need in that moment as often as i can to get max advantage from the sigil of battle…i was simply surprised by the fact that they was removed at all for guardians in early levels, thats all.
My point was: u want to lock em, do it. But leave em visible, so that i know i will acquire that skill at that level. 4 skills out of 5 are greyed out in early level, but u can mouseover them and read “this skill will unlock at this level”. Deleting them even visually…mahOh wow, really? They not showing. One of my beefs (not that I’ve advertised it) is the skills showing as locked. Huh. You’ve got my mind twirling.
okay, u clearly looking for a flame. keep it for you. As u see who was interested perfectly understood.

Three months from now, no one will care. Those who hate it will leave, possibly more people who start from free trial weekends will sign on, and the whole rodeo will begin again.
For the fist time i’m with you, cause this patch is all about this. If Anet is looking for a new playerbase because veterans knows how to earn golds without gems and they get no income from them, i suppose they choosed the wrong way.
Just dont understimate the community btw, as someone said “hate is often due to love”, videos like this (that, over all comes from a new player) will pop up more and more frequently.
Also Mmos are a huge trend for the pc market, there are hundreds of sites out there reviewing patches and changes being applied to the various mmos and they compare new/old mmos as well. And those sites often offer the opinion of people who has no interest in saving or bad judging a mmo. They want their sites to be frequented thanks to trust-worthy reviews.
The new buyer in most cases, consults them, frequent non-official forum and give a look to youtube to get an idea of the gameplay, graphics, etc.

This is ridiculous. Do you think they’re lying to us all? Anet has no obligation to provide you with their statistics, and demanding that they do is outright insulting. If you don’t believe them, that’s your prerogative, but nobody is forcing you to stay here against your will.
They attracted me with a fake Manifesto, fake promises and all the rest everybody (you included) perfectly knows…so…uhm…yes, i think they’re lying…and i dont feel like i’m insulting them saying this…so far te evidence is that players were insulted not them.
If by “players” you mean a small selection of childish, paranoid narcissists, then you’re quite right, the players were greatly insulted. The manifesto was years ago. If you can’t accept that things change in the course of years, you’re going to have a hard time in life. And do please list off a few of the “promises” they broke, preferably including a point at which they actually promised something (not suggested, or implied, or indicated they were interested in). You’re just regurgitating everything you’ve read here on the forums.
I dont have hard time in life, because if i buy a thing claiming to have this or that feature, but it doesnt have it i simply dont pay for it…easy .
Things changes over time, thats true, but not in a short time.
No grinding game and the famous horizontal progress? I buy it!
In the very beginning of playing keywords already were “Farm Wars 2” and “Ascended Gear”.
The small selection of childish, paranoid nacisists is flooding the forums as u can see, maybe the selction is not so small? (that was a direct attack insult, i got an infraction for calling a guy “fanboy”, lets see what happens to you…if no infractions/deletion happens then the (also deleted) thread about payed forum posters must be true)
U know what’s the reason that forces a company to switch to megaservers at least? Because a “small” playerbase left the game and maps are empty.

^ I agree, This guy needs to be hired.
And I like the new look of the tp, it’s more eye candy than the old one.
I agree on the “eye-candy aspect”….but what about the time sinking? 1 fractal run is enugh to fill your bags with good of various types, often in little stacks….re-adding the “sell max amount” wuld be already a great improvement (or roll-back :-p)
Hey there guys!
I decided to have a go at redesigning the Equipment tab on the Hero panel. This is because I think that the current design is a little confusing, and also because I think that there’s other character information that ought to be shown too: such as your Order, your crafting levels, world completion etc.
I’ve attached an image!
As you can see, on the left is your character and equipment slots (all of them), and on the right is a tabbed panel. The tabs are General (image above), Equipment, Wardrobe, and Dyes
I also wrote a pretty lengthly reddit post on r/GuildWars2 going into a lot more detail about it, which you can see hereequipment_tab_redesign/._
Great Job! U’d deserve to be employed in GW2 Team(nos sarcasm or anything, gave u + 1). I keep swapping to the wrong tab all the time, and i never get all the info i was looking for with recent changes.
Tho i’m really curious of what u wuld do with the awful new tp interface now. In my opinion old 1 didnt need changes but everything can be improved :-D
Try going without an MMO for a while, I’m trying out the walking dead season 2
and maybe some Dota 2 or League.The ending of season 2 is a kittene to choose between. But all the endings pretty much lead together. I wouldn’t have assumed that Kenny was that, ideal to be with, until I saw what I did. At the moment, I’m starting season 2 on Vita. Just finished season 1 on PS3 and the game was awesome.
Same here, its a said year for mmos and pc-gaming in general but out there there are unexpected little single player jewels (your is walking dead or Dota, mine is Divinity: Original Sin…seems we need to return to simple and well done things :-D)
I’ll leave too for now. Not really leaving, taking another break…i’m a masochist obviosuly, cause i still have hope…or maybe i cant forget about the times i had tears for the laughing while having comments/rpying with charrs (happy to see im not the only Asura lover here^^) or the early release community Always ready to Group up and help each other. I know i didnt post much here, and the few times i did prolly the attitude was not the right one…it was just due to the delusion and harrassment i had to handle ingame..but well…this is not the place to speak of this…good luck every1!

@misterman
Archeage unluckly went p2w (more precisely it gives huge advantages to subbers, that in a f2p based game appeared like p2w to the most) in the final release (played all the Alpha ans was not like that, now without a patron pass the game will stress you in 10 mins due to lack of labor points), but if its not a problem for u to spend likely 15 euros per month (not mandatory, if u r smart and a good trader u can buy the pass with ingame golds, the system is simila to Rift if u ever tryed it).
About Eso and Wildstar u gave already your idea (mine is a bit invrted, i wuldnt touch ESO even if they pay me, Wildstar problems is that he wanted to be too much hardcore, it didnt fail in the principle, problem is that hardcore gamers that wish to spend 16+ hours a day only to be Raid-ready are not many…so the game is having hard time to survive due to lack of subs, but the niche it wanted to attract is happy raiding for what i know, just they cannot grant that game will survive…money incomes are too low)
@Elsdragon
Attacked with a person that gave his contribute to my leaving with his free Attacks full of maturity and stability. (but he prolly cant remember…he posts here and there)
1)Collections and achies its all what this game is about?
2)Do a poll or go in Malchor’s Leap/Cursed shores and ask if any is having lagspikes/dc’s and let me know
3)its not about gold but the principle, i can still login gw1 and nothing is lost or hidden behind gold→ gems transactions. VIP principles incoming?
4)Lucky u
5)Absolutely not recent, the abuse of commander tag was here already 1 year ago…but now its simply ridiculous (and the problem solving for it its ridiculous too: a simply option to disable unwanted tags)
6)really hope so
