Guild Wars 2

The OP is just another person complaining about the people that have complaints.

When he has his own complaints about the game, hypocritical.

In my opinion, it’s average.

And will soon be bettered.

Agreed, I think there should be large guild halls for large guilds, and smaller guild halls for smaller guilds.

Well I have to say I’ve had my monies worth out of GW2.

But, I am getting a bit bored with it (Don’t say take a break).

Bit fed up with the nerfing, DR, RNG, daily, monthly, only one chest a day crap, seems like Anet want to screw us into the ground.

Just keeping my eyes open for something that will be better, and registering for beta’s (Been on a couple).

Something will be along soon.

There’s more to this game, well I never……………

Seriously, yes the rest of the game is dead as a dodo.

116 posts from ArenaNet in the first 3 pages of the SAB forum, 91 of them in the thread titled “Is it too hard”, ironic eh !

Just 6 posts from ArenaNet in the first 7 pages of this forum.

Form your own conclusions.

Yup, another +1 to this.

I don’t want to do PvP or WvWvW either.

Make it so everybody can get 100% world completion.

People are way too obsessed with fps.

It’s NOT that good a game, l don’t care what you say there’s nothing here that’s not been done before in some way shape or form

Buy an expansion, maybe, depends, l want content, not silly dungeons or fractal things, a Ranger that works, it depends how much more they nerf drops, how much more gold they screw out of us that we had to grind for.

I have to say it’s not looking good at the moment.

GW1 brilliant, no cash shop, no getting turned over, GW2 seems like a hard business make money model.

I didn’t sign up for mini games.

I don’t like them.

And they should be easier.

You guys that are posting “Your playing the wrong class” should remember this is Petition for Pet Removal Option.

See the word OPTION there, those people that want to keep a pet can, it would be optional as per GW1

I did think about a warrior, but a warrior can only use a longbow.

I did think about a thief, but a thief can only use a short bow.

I played one character during my time on GW1, a Ranger from release date until the game gradually faded out a couple of years ago.

I always play a Ranger in every MMO I’ve played, and will continue to do so.

>-<
how many ranger are there and how many rangers complain here.
>-<

Rangers that take the game & their class seriously & have not yet moved on to an other class (ele, warrior)? Not that many. I mean, to take the kind of abuse we take requires a special kind of stubborn person.

Stubborn, that must be me, only ever played one Ranger since being on beta.

Iv’e seen the ups (none) and downs (loads) of the Ranger.

Wouldn’t it be nice to play a Ranger that feels like he or she is adding something to a group/event or whatever.

I don’t think anybody at Arenanet plays a Ranger.

(Before it’s gone).

And I’m not humoring you, I’m right with you on that.

I’m a hypocrite ? for what? Nobody loves time gated stuff i can bet . Do you enjoy looking at the screen without knowing when an event spawns? I talk mostly about Legendary Collections because i needed a numerous champs having no idea when they spawn and i just stand and look at the screen. Sounds like fun, no?

Yes you are a hypocrite.

You make a thread about people complaining about aspects of the game they don’t like and then go on to complain about aspects of the game you don’t like.

So according to you, your the only one allowed to make complaint threads ?

Everybody has their own views on this game, people have a right to a voice when they don’t like something, just leave them alone and let them voice their opinions.

Tumult.2578:

It sounds like you object to finding that your money spent on HoT went exclusively to content for only about10% of the player base.

You are not alone in that perspective.

Yes everybody should be able to explore all aspects of the game, doesn’t matter if your casual, rubbish etc.

There should be difficulty levels, with reduced awards of course, more rewards as you go up the levels.

This would reduce the elitism to some extent, “You can’t do this at our level” is not quite so bad as “You’re not ever going to get to do this”.

Remember ArenaNet we all payed full price for this content, not paid so we could be excluded from a big part of it.

Having to pay to waypoint has made this a very anti-social game, not something ArenaNet would have wanted I think.

For example, I’m in the last area of Orr, finding it pretty tough, try to get a skill point, die, waypoint to repair armour, waypoint back to near skill point repeat over and over.

Try to ask for help, it’s like a ghost town, of course people that are not near would need to waypoint in, help me and waypoint back to where they were, there’s no help, nobody even close, spend lots of my hard earned silver, give up.

Thinks I’ll go and look at the Halloween event, need to pay for waypoints and pay to return.
Go and help the few friends I have, need to pay again.
Go to the bank, nope have to pay.
Go look for some DE’s in other areas, need to pay.
Go join guild mates, need to pay.

Get bored waiting, log out.

Just everyday play it would be nice to be able to join friends, go around different areas, go res somebody, join a DE the other end of the map, go and repair, sell stuff, have to pay for all of that.

For me paying for waypoints is preventing a lot of social interaction, it’s pretty much like a single player game.

Yes, but only because there’s so much jumping, I hate jumping puzzles.

Gliding and jump pads are OK.

I think there are far more important things than a stupid jellyfish………………

BrbTea.3805:

Why are GW2 players always so whiny? No-one forces you to play this part of the game, you get more than enough MPs to get the most important masteries without playing adventures.

Now you know that’s not strictly true don’t you.

And as for you don’t need to max everything out, yes I’d like to max everything out, as will a lot of other players, however I don’t want to have to do it playing stupid “Adventures”.

You can tolerate the mini games and force yourself to do them, good for you.

People are not “whining”, they are providing feedback for ArenaNet, if we didn’t provide feedback ArenaNet could just blunder on adding more and more rubbish content blindly.

People have their views and opinions, respect that.

SynfulChaot.3169:

Ranger was advertised as a pet-based class from the start. If people don’t want a pet it is not unreasonable to point to other classes as there was no bait-and-switch here. We were given, from the start, knowledge that the pet is an integral part of the class.

Let’s, instead of asking or petitioning for pet removal, request pet improvement.

As far as your petition, though. You shame the community by asking for a class to change it’s primary mechanic and make us all look bad. -1

“Shame the community”, I think that’s going a bit far.

I wanted a Ranger, not a beastmaster.

I won’t say anymore about it other than it would be nice to have to option, which wouldn’t affect the way you want to play your Ranger in any way whatsoever.

Then nobody would be dictated to, you will or will not have a pet.

I stopped caring a while ago, just log in to do my daily.

Do a bit of the new stuff, don’t really care what’s going on, if I get achievements fine, if not, meh.

I’m sure there’s a storyline or some lore in there somewhere, but I just run with the pack.

Elyssandariel.2679:

I want to address people saying that two people aren’t a guild. They are a guild, if they put in the effort to have guild things before, and work for it, and now it’s taken away. I’m part of a larger guild that has a guild hall and wants us to upgrade and is constantly in guild chat harping about “what we need now.”

I’m also part of a smaller two person guild, which might get a few more members when my cousin and her husband get HoT eventually. Who are ANY of you to tell us that we’re not a guild? 2 people guilds are guilds just like 400 people guilds are guilds. We had guild bank and other things before this change over, I haven’t looked to see if we still have it but, if not, we’re kind of screwed, because we can never get a guild hall or afford the upkeep on a guild hall.

There should be smaller guild halls for smaller guilds. It’s not like we’re asking for a whole city to ourselves. Just a small place to go that we can afford, and update, like we were doing.

Well said +10

You call that a fireball !!!

Here’s a suggestion………………….

What about putting the updates for each profession in the relevant professions forum.

And the general updates in the general forum.

Reading through this lot is a minefield.

These “Adventures”, I hate them, I can’t do them, I hate my skill bars being messed with.

I have one gold in the “Drone Race” thingy, a silver and about 3 bronzes in other ones, others I completely abandoned in anger.

I find them very frustrating and they make me angry, and I want to skip them.

I guessing if I don’t do them I won’t get enough mastery point to complete my masteries, I have spent 42 points, 25 unspent points and totalling up what I need is another 45 points.

Is it possible to get those but not do anymore “Adventures” ?

I have done all the Mastery Strongboxes.

Also wondered why my “Mastery Rank” shows as 43 when I’ve only spent 42 points ?

“It is an amazing sight to see.”

You need to get out more…………….

@ FOX.3582 “This Guild Hall talk has to stop!”.

Why does it bother you ?

Is it affecting you in any way ?

You have your Guild Hall full marks.

But many small Guilds such as mine will never get a Guild Hall now.

Just to quote you from one of your earlier posts…….

“Who are you¿
And what is this¿”

I’ve been doing it 2-3 times a day from the start, NEVER got into main yet ALWAYS in overflow.

It’s just rubbish.

I think it’s actually quite bad practice to be posting on Reddit rather than here.

(Actually much of my content is gated behind gated failed “adventures” !)

We are being forced to do them, I don’t like that !

Yeash what started out as an exciting experience has now just turned into a boring grind to get masteries, the higher you get the more of a grind (Bore) it becomes.

And this……………

xev.9476:

Inventory management is my new end-game: we now have bags that contain more bags, which all contain 15 DIFFERENT kinds of worthless crap. Great system. Much fun.

We are just being bombarded with more and more rubbish stuff, Iv’e never seen so much rubbish, oh wait extra bag spaces on sale in the gem store, maybe there’s a plan here.

Too many threads telling us what we should or shouldn’t do.

Relax, chill, stop posting about guild halls stop this and that.

How would they know how strongly we feel if people don’t post.

Oh wait this is another one of “those” threads.

Bang. That’s all the playerbase is asking. Well said.

Put your tin hat on, we could have some incoming ! (Flames that is from the l33t).

I actually hate the “So called” mini games, not the sort of content I expect to see in a MMO.

They (mini games) just feel cheap and tacky, the sort of stuff I can get in a platformer.

LadyRhonwyn.2501

“I think the learn to play card is played way too often. I know exactly how to play this game, but that doesn’t mean I should like OP effects we see in the tower: massive respawn rate, elite foes when there’s only player around, massive AoE without any place to hide. I think it’s a cheap way of “increasing” difficulty and, at least for me, absolutely not fun. And the average player might be able to deal with two of those effects, but a third one might just confuse them so much, that they’ll start making stupid mistakes they wouldn’t make during normal gameplay.”

Yes I have to agree with this, there’s only so much you can do to combat all the stuff going on, often trying to get through a trail of mobs left by other people.

I don’t find it fun, or clever of Anet, and agree it’s just cheap “content” if you can even call it that.

The design of the tower is brilliant, but there’s no real tactics, it’s just a mess of mobs, mines and overlapping red circles, when you can even see them.

Anet can do better, lets have stuff where tactics and planning come into it, like UW and FOW in GW1.

Edit…………….

Just seems every post I read when people say they are having problems or don’t like the content is the same, L2P, zerg it, get in a party, guest to another server, I killed the champ/elite/everything solo, I ran solo to the top in 10 minutes with my level 63 (Insert prof here).

Sort of like HoT masteries, hate (Really HATE) so called “Adventures”.

The maps are not big enough for mounts.

Just look at some of the Korean MMO’s, their maps are massive with several cities on the same seamless map.

GW2 maps are tiny by comparison, the whole of GW2 is broken up into tiny area’s.

Jumping puzzles, instant death.

Rauderi.8706:

roelvanesch.2817:

But even then, the real argument here is if they are necessary or not, which in my honest opinion they are not.

Try fact, then? While you may not have to get gold on all of them, in order to unlock all the HoT masteries, you need to get at least Silver on all of them. There aren’t enough points to go around, otherwise.

Adventures are required.

Yes they are required, and at least silver, I can’t even get bronze on some of them, and others I gave up on altogether.

How can they even call this stuff “Adventures”, because it’s not an adventure, it’s torture.

Give us some other way to make these mastery points, not these crummy so called “Adventures”.

Nope, not enough real content.

Broom.2561:

I hate those mini games with a passion. Some, I can’t even get bronze on. Most, I can barely get silver, and that after hours of (VERY unhealthy and tense) trying. But if I EVER want to even TRY those new legendaries, I need more mastery points. And guess where a gazillion of those are tied up?

I seriously seriously hate these adventures, and I loathe the whole concept of gated content.

Same here bronze if I’m really lucky.

Stop messing with my skills bar, I hate it.

And we HAVE to do them>

Not what I paid good money for.

MeNDoX.8031:

Moonlit.6421:

So do all the people who bought it then get a refund lol?

Nobody get a refund for the base game buying the expansion xD.

Yup we bought the base game, no refund, now it’s free. (With HoT0.

Yeah they should give living story 2 away free.

I’m not a big fan of jumping puzzles (Actually I hate them), and there is quite a bit of required jumping in HoT.

However I just have to endure them as they are a necessity to progress through the game.

Whatever game you decide to play there’s going to be some bits you don’t like, and others that you do like.

Edit….

Just to add to that, I’m not keen on flying or jump pads in games either.

However I think the gliding and jumping mushrooms have been very well executed in HoT.

I think ArenaNet should read the OP’s post very carefully, it’s one of the best posts I’ve seen here.

Way too expensive, what a rip off.

If it was a pick, axe and sickle I would think about it.

But just the one item, sorry no.

“What are people doing in this game?”……………..

What I’m doing.

Log in, do daily as quickly as possible.
Log out.
Check forum for game updates.
Go and play something else. (Another MMO).
Wait for something to happen that might make me want to stay logged in.

johnsheldon.4592:

I have been playing guild wars since the first game came off the line. The one thing I always love about the game was the ability to play solo. The problem I have with what anet has been doing lately is that they seem to have forgotten that some people do not have any interest in dungeons or raids or pvp. that’s seems to be all they are concentrating on in heart of thorns. I mean us solo players paid the same price for our game and we don’t seem to be getting the same game experience for our money. If I’m wrong please anet tell me where I’m wrong.

Yup I play solo as well, have done from the start.

I also feel we, as solo players will be excluded from some of the new content.

There are of course the typical " tough you play solo, it’s a multiplayer game, make friends, go play something else" yada yada yada.

Maybe I should start a “solo” players guild.

iniside.4736:

Just to be clear. I’m generally agaist such solution, but the amount of hate, trolling and other generally bad behavior on this forums is jut beyond ridicuouls.

Force real world last and first names on forums, instead of nicknames. It probably won’t shut up come persons, but at least most of people will think twice before posting something stupid.

Just no, that is wrong, people would get in hate mail in real life, be pursued on social sites.

Samanar.3265:

Hold your horses guys. Just because some of you don’t feel like playing burst damage ranged class, or don’t want to burst people down – alright, no prob for me. Just because lots of people enjoy playing evading-trapping-melee-whatever-weirdo-type-of-ranger doesn’t mean I have to. I don’t – to be honest I want to be Robin Hood, pew pew ranger burst spec. Just can’t find it in traits or in weapon skills.
Please for the love of whoever keeps the balance in this game – LET RANGER HAVE RANGED BURST SPEC too, just like pretty much every other class in the game. I for one would be perfectly happy to have a typical glass cannon build on my ranger, I want it, and I hope Arena Net will deliver it.

tl;dr I don’t want to be forced into melee/tanky/whatever build I WANT VIABLE RANGED BURST ON MY RANGER. please…

Just this, that’s all I want, just a good long bow (It’s SO slow) and short bow, just the short bow really, chuck all the other stuff out the window, I’m a Ranger I want a GOOD bow !

Yeah I also agree, cost of waypoints is making this a very unsociable single player game.

Now I would have thought ArenaNet would have wanted to encourage people to play together, to go to events with friends or go back and help lower level people.

But no, it costs us silver to get there and silver to get back.

I would like traveling cost to be set (Free) so we can travel about freely to help others, join in with DE’s and events,, be “sociable”, without the feeling we’re eating into our hard earned coin.

It’s definately a game killer for me.
