Guild Wars 2

ok.. but again, why can’t they put that into the game? Like I said, the achievement boxes are clickable.. yet they only show the same thing that the smaller box showed. They could easily add that information into those screens so people would be able to figure stuff out easier.

FYI.. not everyone cares about changelogs or updates. I’m super casual player. They could revamp my entire character and I wouldn’t care one bit.

Hope I have time to log on during those times.

But thanks for the information..

This has been my only issue with the game since it came out. Unless you have a very knowledgeable guild helping you out there is just no way to know where you are supposed to do. Hell, I have a great guild and usually figure these events out no problem. This one though has me scratching my head on what’s going on. I get the basis of the story, and have gone into the labyrinth but after that there is no direction. just run around and close doors or fight two bosses that take 100+ players to take down and then don’t really drop anything better than I could get doing world bosses or even a champ run.

Butter.. the best that I can tell you to do is keep asking in game. Either /map or /say and hope someone nice will be able to help you in game. I know I tried to help some guildmates that were having issues with it. Figured maybe 2 heads were better than one at figuring out what the heck was going on.

You have two guides to follow. The first is the in-game meta achievement and daily check list. The second is the features guide ArenaNet made. It’s not very complicated.

The Labyrinth doesn’t really have a purpose outside farming or the meta, unless you find it fun.

I don’t really understand people’s difficulties with things like this. I see questions like “How do I leave the Mad King’s Realm?” or “How do I get to the Labyrinth” and wonder how people can truly by that helpless and incapable of free thought. ArenaNet already does everything short of hand holding you through a step-by-step tutorial, and if you want that there’s plenty of resources available like Dulfy.

Yes, first part was easy.. showed me where to go. I never got a second email. All I got was some golem.. totally worthless. So the only thing I have to go off of is the Achievements.. and none of them tell you what zone to go to, or what to do. They are about as vague as you can get.

“complete a round of Mad King says” really? where? when? how? This is totally worthless unless I look it up online or ask someone. I shouldn’t have to do research on something like this. You click it and it shows the same thing.. that screen could have a detailed description of what you need to do. I don’t get why it’s so hard to explain something in this game.

I’m not an MMO noob by any means.. but this is the most difficult game i’ve played for figuring out what you need to do for somthing. I get it that Anet likes puzzles, but holy crap. If so many people are having issues like you said, then there is a problem.

I would have more fun if I knew what the hell was going on. Sucks to ask people whats happening every 2 seconds..

Just my thought on it, but a good way to do it would have been to have 3 spawn areas. Clockworks, Pirates and the Miners.. they could have made it so each area gave the same rewards to keep people from farming one over another, and then made it so you had to get through each stage within min of each other.. so if everyone zerged to one group or the other you would lose. You would have to organize and split up to have enough people at each area. Then all 3 could have converged on Scarlet and maybe a large Clockwork sidekick.

Again, just an idea..

I had fun with it and made a lot of money, and as a non-hardcore gamer it helped me get some gold in the bank and some better gear so I can actually do other parts of the game without getting rolled.

Like a couple people have said, Arenanet has to cater to a wide group of players. And I never heard anyone in my guild complain about the invasions or that they were ruining the game. It brought me back to the game after a few months off.

Would rather stay on FA.. thanks though.

Looking for a helpful, laidback and mature guild on Ft. Aspenwood server. I live in Japan(American) so would prefer an Australian or Oceanic guild. Or one that has players on at strange hours of the day/night. Don’t want to log on prime time for my area and no one in the guild is on.

I do mostly PvE right now, but have no issues with PvP/WvW. I just not a fan of doing it solo.

I have a lot of MMO experience over the years EQ2, WAR, RIFT and SW:TOR. I’m not a die hard player, just enjoy playing and having fun.

I currently have a lvl 80 Engineer and leveling a Ranger(30’s).

So let me know if you have a guild on the Fort Aspenwood server that is looking for a new player. =)
