Guild Wars 2

Lets call this for what it is, an attempt to lower the que time in PvP (and trying to make e-sport out of GW2), so once again PvE suffers to they can try to keep PvP junk alive, at this point I wish Anet would abandon the PvP and Iggy (he tried his best to kill PvE in Guild Wars 1)

Why Anet didn’t just restrict the free account to PvP I will never understand. Well the nicest RPG community I have ever had the great pleasure to be a part of just took a dive. Thank Iggy for another bad decision and a big dump on PvE.

Is there a way to get rid of all the magic affects that does not make the game look like crap? During world bosses all these magic affect are just not needed.

don’t even suggest using search until anet replaces it with something that is works.

Getting a gold symbol then no loot, sorry the DPS thing not holding up. As for party tried it in a party and solo, same results.

NO MORE CONTENT, fix the freaking game first.

No loot from any of the Knights, have tried solo and in a party.

Ok, NSA we know you are watching this, we know you know who is conducting the DoS attack, shut them down and you will be our heroes (unless you caused it by trying to violate our civil liberties even more, you know the 4th Amendment).

I hope they know now. Getting so bad I gave up and went to a different game.

I am at my wits end with the elementalist. I can setup a champion farmer (speed & quick damage), and a group support (DPS with some heals), what I can’t setup is a solo runner.

I am looking for an elementalist build that can pull a veteran and 4 to 5 others and win. Must be able to handle melee and ranger fights.

Side note I don’t give a (blank) about PvP, this is only concerning PvE.

I would love to find a server that does Temple of Balthazar and I could not possible care less about PvP so not going to use anything against you.

What reward was their in Guild Wars 1 for doing the HoM? Wife and I did the 30/50 for the skins (couldn’t care less about titles) but I did not get a reward in Guild Wars 1. The HoM was put there (pretty much EotN was put there) to bridge the gap between Gw1 to GW2, and so us old players that started GW1 on day one can carry on with our game.

ANET stressed during game design they thought of ways players could troll other players and removed it, well when you have 20 players camping a spot that is by definition trolling. There is no challenge – 20 vs 1 means you lost.

Before the patch my build had no problem, now things are respawning faster than I can kill them.

Just want a pve build that does massive damage and can handle four npc at one time for level 50 thru 60.

Weapon and traits is all I need.

I would like to see the Canthan people show up as refugees using the Air Ships, but for the expansion of Cantha, NO. We already have empty maps and Group Events that cannot be completed due to no one being around, you add in another map that requires complex travel and the maps will become even more empty.

If they added Henchmen / Heroes then maybe they could do another map due to not needing people to complete group events.

Did you guys not play Guild Wars 1? The same thing happen in Guild Wars 1 until they finally stop listening to the vocal minority and split the skills.

The main problem you have the same guy that balanced Guild Wars 1 balancing Guild Wars 2, don’t expect any improvements. He does not care about PvE in the least. Guild Wars 1 skill balance improved for both PvP/PvE when someone else took over balance.

If he moves unto a new project and is removed from Guild Wars 2, then you can expect major improvements (GW1 got way better once he moved unto GW2), until then pve will suffer.

Yep that is the skill event, gave up on the group event ran through it and ran down the stairs to get the skill. The skill is not the problem, the problem is group events can not be completed due to the fact that no other person is on the map. Tried guesting to two other servers only to find the same group events going on and no one doing them.

I have 8 characters (one for each profession). I would like an actually fix to the game and never done guesting.

Been trying to get this map done and I have seen one player the whole time. It is empty of all players on my server and when a group event spawns between you and a skill challenge you can forget waiting for others to show up. Been two days and no one has showed up for Assault on Fort Cadence event.

1. No. Run with a guild or something. Everything will be trivialized if we have NPC’s to do all the work for us.

No. A guild is not an option. First all it turns in to is me getting bugged to death to help others (I have a photographic memory, do it once I remember ever detail about it, people soon learn this and bug the crap out of me with questions or wanting me to run them through dungeons). Second you would have to be really rude to expect people to drop what they are doing just because you asked them to help with an event, I am not that rude. Third I have a real life, I play at off hours and with a set amount of time, and I may have to leave the game suddenly, doing this to a group was the reason I stopped running dungeons in GW1, to many times I would have to tell the group to wait for me and I will be back in 30 minutes. I do not expect people to wait for me while I take care of real life nor would I wait for them.

2. I see no evidence of a gear “grind” yet. I see a set of gear made for fractals that is IMO completely optional and provides minimal stat boosts for those who are in to that.

What game are you playing? Guild Wars 1 the top tier gear was it during release and with all four expansion it remained the top tier gear, the only thing that changed was appearance. Now the top tier gear released with Guild Wars 2 is obsolete. That is gear grind or a gear treadmill (aka World of Warcraft).

About the balance issue, the same person that balanced Guild Wars 1 is in charge of the balance of Guild Wars 2. I kept asking for him to be fired or promoted (which ever got him away from balance) when he was working on Guild Wars 1. I asked that he not be put in charge of balance in Guild Wars 2 because the balance of Guild Wars 1 didn’t get corrected until he moved onto another project (bad news that project was Guild Wars 2). So it is not going to change until he moves onto the next project. You might as well get used to over powerful professions and worthless professions.

My wife and I both enjoyed Guild Wars 1 (bought two copies of everything they sold). We preordered our Guild Wars 2 and now my wife refuses to play Guild Wars 2, no hero / henchmen, gear grind, event and spawn rates seem to be affected by another player that is just in the area but not taking part, and feels like another wow clone (after Star Wars wow clone you would think no one would do it again but at last). What really killed it for her was waiting for a group event for 25 minutes – for 25 minutes we she was the only players in the area.

Stop listening to the world of warcraft players because I want a Guild Wars game.

1. Henchmen or Hero – Like guild wars 1. If the Zone does not drop high end gear are empty (just like the mid – level cities in Guild Wars 1). Group Event can not be completed attached is a screenshot where I asked if anyone was on the map, two people replied, and neither could be bothered to do a group event.

2. Remove the Gear grind that is creeping in to the game. Infused to fight a certain monster fine as long as it only affects that one type of monster. Guild Wars 1 you had it right (the end armor was just about looks) and you needed multi-armor depending on which build.

No I want Henchmen (Hero) for everything. I am not going to join your group, I have no desire to play with you, I am tired of not being able to complete stuff because no one happens along that will help with an event or champion.

Really most of the arguments are lame. Those that don’t pvp should be stomped, really, how the heck is that going to happen since they don’t play pvp? Didn’t Arena Net learn from Guild Wars 1? PvP dictating to PvE is a mistake.

Group Events and Dungeons only –when we are not doing one of those things don’t bother me. Must be willing to stand around and do nothing during Dungeon runs will I have a life, my character will move ever thirty minutes to avoid being kicked out. You must not get up from your computer because when I get back I don’t want to wait for you.

No teamspeak or C3, I really don’t care what you have to say.

No guild drama – I don’t care who is trying to do what or who said what about someone, I mean I don’t know you nor do I want to know you.

What this game needs is more Guild Wars 1 and less World of Warcraft. I really wish you wow players would go back to wow and help the developers mess up that game even more.

10. What advertising?

9. Player vs Player is such a small part why even bother sinking more money into it and player vs player as advertising stinks since you are trying to sale items to a hardcore group that already have it.

8. Loot is fine, you are not supposed to handed everything.

7. Personal store seems ok maybe tweak the difficulty of some missions (some you are way too easy and some are way too hard).

6. Unless they develop a way players can run dungeons solo and not be bothered by other players don’t bother with tweaking existing dungeons.

5. Only one person I play GW2 with and I don’t want to be bothered with the rest of the world of warcraft players. Guesting seems to have been a total waste of resources since only hardcore players use it.

4. Events happen often enough and scale so that I can solo most of them and avoid the group events until Arena Net realize the game is called Guild Wars and not World of Warcraft.

3. Why would I be looking for a group? A group is only going to slow me down.

2. Not being able to trade directly I am fine with since I don’t see anyone standing in Lion’s Arch trying to run an ecto scam.

Same bug, no transmute will work.

How does a game die when it does not have a subscription base, does not rely on a real money trades? Guild Wars 1 fit me since I refuse to grind and I don’t feel I have to grind and Guild Wars 2 is giving me the same impression.

I play in the morning, finding a group is hard but it has not been impossible. People I added to my friends list in BETA and Guild Wars 1 have been great.

These are hacked accounts, reporting them does nothing. Here is what they do, they hack an account, liquidate everything, then move the gold off the account, after a few transactions the account is moved to a spamming account since it is considered high risk account. By the time you get the mail or see the spam in chat the damage to the economy has been done. (Wife stopped playing wow, so I was surprised one day to see her logged in when I knew her account was dead, the had done the above to her account).

My suggestion is not to only go after the Gold Merchants but also go after the low life players that are buying from them. It is supply and demand, if there is a demand someone will supply it, if you come down harsh on the buyers maybe they will learn their lesson and stop the demand. I would also suggest banning all accounts logging on from IP addresses that send spam.

I will never forget the time an customer support guy made a movie reference to a support ticket, “Sir you may need to call the police, the gold farmer is inside your house!”
