Guild Wars 2

The Karka event……………

Dinosaurs.8674:

I can’t think of a single adventure where it was difficult to get silver.

I can, since I ranked them all

Shooting Gallery – Silver 9/10
A Fungus Among Us – Silver, 9/10
Sanctum Scramble – Silver, 8/10 (when playing this Adventure as if it were a jumping puzzle, instead of a gliding puzzle)
The Floor Is Lava – Silver, 7/10
Scrap Rifle Field Test – Silver, 6/10
Fallen Masks – Silver, 6/10

are the major ones that I would expect people to spend more than 10-15 minutes trying to get, or spending time on YouTube/forums to figure out.

Nope can’t get bronze on any of them, I hate them before I’ve even started.

If I wanted a mini platformer I would go and play one.

I might come back if they ever change the adventures.

I don’t hate the game, and I don’t hate HoT, I just hate the so called “Adventures”, might come back if they ever change them.

Funny how such a small thing made me quit after sooo many years of playing everyday !

More grindy…….

People are way too obsessed with fps.

Nope.

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

Log in.
Get daily chest.
Think, what shall I do, think about “Adventures”.
Log out.
Play Fallout 4.

I was fairly addicted, played everyday for years, then “Adventures” came along and I quit.

Just log in now for my daily chest and log straight out again.

And just log into the forums to see whats going on.

HoT………

Best………. Gliding.
Worst…… Stupid “Adventures”.

The 5th of January.

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.

If Guild Wars went subscription 50% of the players would quit immediately.

And it’s not going to happen anyway.

There’s no place in an MMO for this sort of dross.

As a mini game that you can choose to do or not, that would be fine.

But to lock masteries behind these so called “adventures” is wrong.

You do realize that you can get enough mastery points without even doing gold?

Yes, I can’t even get bronze on many of them.

All I want for Wintersday is… It to end.

Raids are so “Exclusive” Iv’e been “Excluded”.

Harhar, DOH !

StevenL.3761:

Salvage Pit is actually pretty easy right now, because you don’t get punished enough for letting yourself get hit by the tendrils.
A tendril’s attack should result in a one-hit kill, similar to the Bioluminescent Lurcher’s attacks in the Tangled Labyrinth.

Oh whoopee I can’t even get bronze on that one.

I hate these so called “Adventures”.

Edit your email address out of the screen shot.

It’s not a grind like a Korean mmo.

But it is a grind, just not quite as bad.

Game performance looks about right for your rig.

Don’t expect max performance on max settings.

Baldrick.8967:

They don’t need changing at all.

They just need to remove the mastery points from being gated behind them. Then no one would care.

Yup…..

Loli Ruri.8307:

Solid Gold.9310:

They are fully aware of the problems of banning IP addresses.

Why would they not be? And yes you’re right.

Because it would be counter-productive.

Why would they block IP addresses and stop another member of a family playing just because your mother/son/dog (Insert family member here) cheated and got banned.

ArenaNet generally do not ban IP addresses.

They are fully aware of the problems of banning IP addresses.

They will just ban an account, that doesn’t stop other accounts or new accounts from being played from that computer or IP.

You should get a few years out of that.

I hate them all, really “Adventures” bah humbug !

The game should run perfect on your machine, I have a similar set up….

Except for…

GTX580 x 2
RoG extreme M/B

No problems here.

Make sure you optimise the game in Nvidia Geforce Experience.
Or use Nvidia Inspector to run your cards in SLI for GW2.

“Worth coming back?”

It’s OK for a couple of weeks, then you’ll get bored.

BrbTea.3805:

Snip

We get it, you can tolerate them and think a lot of them are easy.

Some of us hate them.

A lot you say are easy to get gold, I can’t get bronze.

“After a few tries”, “20 minutes”, no thanks, the hatred is deep.

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.

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” !)

Wahaha.7938:

Just practice for more than 5 minutes instead of giving up? That’s how you get good at video games. Fallen masks silver is not even hard, I got it on my 2nd try at the minigame, with plenty of mistakes.

AWWW I can’t even get bronze on that one.

I don’t like platformers, I can get those on my phone if I want to, trouble is I’m bored before I even start.

These so called “Adventures” are not MMO content, I want to do MMO stuff.

Save yourself a lot of grief, buy it.

ODB.6891:

misterman.1530:

Not me! I want more “adventures”! I want to be able to choose between fighting an end boss in a raid OR playing a Tyria-inspired game of Candy Crush™. Oooo Tetris!

And I think we should have some sort of…I don’t know…place where we grow crops and such and we can have our “friends” help us out. Call it the “Place-where-you-grow-your-crops-Ville”.

If they were completely optional…meaning just for fun (if you find that type of activity fun)…then yes. I personally do not find candy crush, tetris, or any mini game activity to be fun. What I find fun is the core content of GW2…which does not include mini games. I have no problems with the existence of these mini games. What I do have an issue with is ANET locking core GW2 content behind mini games. I don’t appreciate them blocking character progression behind these mini games. My character is not fully functional until I complete all the masteries. There will be places I can’t reach without leyline gliding. I will be missing out on conveniences like auto area loot and movement speed in major cities. I will be vulnerable to chak acid. I’m sure there are other parts of the content I paid for with the expansion…that I will also miss out on if I don’t cave into the pressure and complete these mini games. I wouldn’t mind them as much if they were the same type of content/mechanics as the rest of GW2.

I personally think ANET needs to add additional sources of mastery points and mastery experience to the maguuma areas. These areas are going to die once players have gotten their masteries and achievements completed. I know they have this absurd aversion to dungeons, but they need something that players actually want to repeat…that does not involve zone wide coordination and up to an hour of this zone wide coordination. I originally thought adventures would be this content…until I played the first one and just realized they were mini games instead. If they invested any amount of focus group testing…they would have scrapped these current adventures before launch.

Well said ODB, my thoughts as well.

They should be optional, and yeah I hate them.

Just a bit of bad luck I think, We all get the odd disconnection now and again.

(In the UK as well).

Wait you disconnected 3 times in 2 days, I don’t think that’s so bad actually.

What are we talking about with reference to your time logged into the game.

Where are you, and whats your system specs.

smiling.9028:

have to let a guildie log on to your account and do it for you.

Oh yeah that’s a good plan……………………… NOT.

Never ever let somebody else log into your account, what are you people mad.

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”.

Coulter.2315:

It took me a couple of hours to do silver for them all, you’re making a mountain out of a molehill.

Good for you, you like them, some people hate them.

I don’t think it’s a “mountain out of a molehill”, we are really being forced into doing them because we need the points.

I for one am having great difficulties and find them very frustrating, and can’t even get bronze on some of them.

Might be a very small point, but it’s game breaking for me if this is the direction ArenaNet are going in.

Basically I don’t want this sort of dross in an MMO.

You need to raise a support ticket.

Don’t hold your breath !

Vapour.7348:

A few months ago, I inadvertently deleted the Authenticator app on my phone when I was freeing up storage space.

I finally got a new phone and would like to use another authenticator but there is no way to unlink it to the current one because the app is gone.

January, I will be relocated and there is no way I can generate codes for the new IP address because I don’t have the authenticator anymore. This is supposed to help secure my account, not lock me out.

How to unlink when authenticator app is gone?

I am assuming as you have a new phone your number has changed ?

If it has you have no way of removing/changing or authenticating your account and you will have to contact support.

If you have transferred your phone number to your new phone (Which most people do), then just download the app again.

Farming Simulator.

Disappointment Depths.

RobLnd.1074:

honestly, you don’t need ascended armour for raids so far

Apparently you don’t need it according to a fair few people.

However you do need it to get into a raid party.

Somebody will be along shortly to tell us something different.

(Tin hat on).

I wouldn’t bother with sli again, just one good graphics card 980ti ?

It’s never been f2p until recently.

It’s (Including GW1) always been buy to play, which we all did, buy it to play it.

100% plus on that.

And let me have my Ranger GW1 armour back as well.

I don’t regret buying it but…….

Finished the story pretty quick.
Got most maps 100% pretty fast. (One map to go I think).
Found the so called “Adventures” pretty frustrating and stupid. (And you have to do them to get mastery points).
Meta events mainly fail when you get in the tougher maps.
Maps are sparsely populated.
Places are hard to find. (When you or somebody else asks for help, you or they can’t get there).
Events are hard to find and get to because of the maps, some you see on the mini-map, but not on the main map.
Contested waypoints, all but one on a map can be contested.
Glidings cool.
Raids are off limits to me.

Was it worth it, maybe, if your a big fan of GW2 it’s an essential.

Edit…….
Forgot to mention, probably going to have a break for a while, sort of reached a stage where I log in, think what shall I do now, can’t be bothered, log out.

cocowoushi.7150:

But how is it challenging if it’s made easy?

Well it would allow more people to experience raids, whatever their abilities or gear (Remember we all paid the same price for HoT) people shouldn’t be excluded from content they paid for.

Not everybody wants really challenging content.
