It should be at least $20 off for players who already own the core game.

Won’t be buying it until it’s on sale $20 cheaper than its launch price. Maybe I’ll skip it all together because of this forced bundle.

The people who made this possible are the people who not only bought the core game, but have been buying gems, cosmetics, character slots, and other store items which cost actual money.

trading posts/portals too far apart

Talking about Lions Arch now. I feel they should be all together. Bring the community closer! Stop trying to separate us with nerfing the champions, getting rid of the vigil keep, and then placing portals away from the trading post.

Lions Arch is a great place and I’m glad it’s reforming, but with the megaservers mixed with the vigil keep and train runs made the game feel alive and now it feels like you’re trying to kill it again.

Updates are separating the community

When they should be bringing us all closer together

I admit, the train run was an exploit and people were truly missing out on the quality of the game, but this also left Queensdale quite depressing. It was so active despite its exploitation.

That being said, I’d like to suggest bringing champions back, but taking them off a scheduled timer. Instead of having so many things running on a timer which can be exploited, why not have random events with global announcements so the community can join together and take down these events in a way that is epic and not so easy to exploit.

A few ideas:
1 chest a day per champion. Champion health is tripled or even more and the spawn is shown in a new tab for announcements on living world events so the community can get to it on time.

Additional events leading up to champions. Rather than spawning on a timer, how about it spawns after 30 other events on that map are complete and a champion spawns.

Bounty board. Include a daily bounty where people are given random champions to hunt down for their daily bounty. This will bring people together and into multiple champion locations rather than going in circles on the same few champions all day.

Champion hunt dailies. Allow people to group up in an instance-style champion hunt that allows a group to summon the champion boar and kill it with a cooldown.

These are just some random things that came to mind. The bounty board is a personal favorite. I would love to get a daily quest to go kill a random champion and to group up with others who received the same daily.

Update: It needs more changes

-Costs actual money or up to 18g to wear an outfit you discovered yourself.

Technically speaking, many people paid $60 for that gear and now we’re being charged to equip it as a cosmetic. You guys can make your money, but take a tip from Trion and design more cosmetic gear at a fair price. Don’t charge more for what we’ve already purchased.

5 free transmutations? There are 6 pieces of armor which don’t include weapons… It’s insulting really. It’s like selling a bike with 1 wheel and charging extra to get the second wheel…

-Spider is no longer an elite

This could have been a step in the right direction, but it’s negative. Removing 1 elite from a the train runs in queensdale shows something you’re taking AWAY from the community. Oddly enough, a better move would be to keep the spider, but incorporate more events that spawns these champions so players can actually earn the experience and gear they’re receiving rather than repeating the same runs and effortlessly killing these champions. This train run needs more adjustments that encourages and forces more teamwork and more steps in order to take on these champions because they’re anything but “champions”

+Dyes shared between accounts

A good thing. Thanks for that. Now, allow us to wear the armor we’ve created in the wardrobe. Or at least allow us to wear them as “town clothes” which require no transmutation.

+megaservers

I appreciate this. Haven’t experienced a larger community since it’s obviously still early, but definitely a step in the right direction and I’m looking forward to the boost of activity. The problem with this is a lot of people are going to be doing train runs. Train runs need a major adjustment because after 1-15 zones, it gets empty. Please, do something to push people into other areas. Perhaps creating random “WANTED:” posters that send players to fight off champions in other zones and veterans for solo players.

I love guild wars and I love that it’s free to play, but take some tips from Trion/RIFT when it comes to cosmetics and wardrobes. They’re obviously making major bank off of it while the gem store is just crazy expensive. You’ll make more money with low prices. Though, I am happy not everyone is running around beating their drums. Some things are set at an okay price.

Drums are inferior than the rest :(

They’re very well designed, but the songs played on a flute are endless compared to the drums. Sure, there’s variety of what you can do with the drums, but they all sound so similar, they’re hardly distinguishable. It needs some cowbell, high hats, cymbals and a strong bass. Yes, that means some people will make some awful songs, but it’s better than every song sounding the same.

Otherwise they just don’t feel like $10 compared to the other instruments.

I should also make it clear that the drum beats are already creating rhythm without any effort. If I tap 1 drum simultaneously, it creates a rhythmic beat which doesn’t play the same exact beat nor does it play it in the rhythm I hit it. It’s subtle at first, then it becomes very obvious when I try to create more unique sounds and it really forces a very similar beat no matter what direction I go.

Please, make some changes so people can actually show off skills instead of paying $10 to play pre-recorded beats that make us feel like we have rhythm.

A person on the Mac forums said they had this issue and he said “changing the language in the top right corner caused the whole patch to re-download and complete” he did note that Spanish did not work, but French did.

This may or may not work for you guys, but maybe if a dev sees it, it could help then to troubleshoot this issue.

Please post back and let me know if this interesting suggestion works for any of you.

Confirmed. Changing the language (to German) was the only fix for me. I attempted everything else and this was the only method that worked.

For those who are still having this problem, there was 1 and only fix I could find.

Change the language to something else (Not English or Spanish)

I switched the language (on the top right) to German and the patch started over and finished. I switched back to English and logged in.

Download fails at second last file

This is bump worthy simply because it has not been fixed for everyone. Like the very few, altering the DNS does not work. I’ve tried many other methods. Very rarely do I ever have to contact costumer support or seek help. It’s usually people asking me v_v

Anyways.. My last attempt is testing the language change patch. Like you said, it starts up a new patch. In my case, it’s the whole game. I’ll post again if it works or does not work.
