This isn't WoW!

Ranter: Final Fantasy XIV has mounts! It’s a freaken clone of WoW!

Me: Chocobos have been around sense forever its part of there world.

Anyways, If people don’t want to use mounts then don’t use them. Just run on foot problem solved, Does anyone get tired of running on foot if not then you love running on foot than on mounts.

Everyone complained Gliders was added to the old maps, Now people are having fun on them. Gliders made traveling a bit more easier, I used my glider as a “Mount” to get places a bit faster combining it with Swift Boons after landing with my glider to cut time out of my travels.

If its sinful to try to travel faster because we must run everywhere at normal speed then people have problems. I traveled with my glider all over the place to cut time to get places faster for the 1000th time or more. So you might as well put me in jail and throw away the key for doing a sinful act of breaking the speeding laws.

As long as it is not flying mounts, that is ok :p

Wouldn’t be possible anyways due to the way the maps are built. Thats the whole point why ArenaNet added barriers to stop people from gliding in areas they should not be gliding into.

Glider In core tyria and jps

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

Having toggables would be nice for those that needs this, But will have to tell the game to force it to re-activate when you re-enter the HoT Maps so you don’t accidently ooppies fall into the pit of the abyss and die by the vines belows.

A simplier option is seperating the glide from the spacebar and letting you turn it “off” without accidently pulling the glider out.

-pvp open, so I can challenge anyone in the world……and in the actual Spvp button-.2v2 maps, 3v3 maps, 5v5 maps…..

Want Open World PvP? Go Play Perfect World International and kill white named players and get killed as a red named player and have your gear be dropped when a PvPer floors you in battle.

Atleast they give those whos a Heavy PvPer a chance to loot a players stuff they dropped from being defeated. I play PWI but I only play on a PvE Server and keep my PvP flag off all the time beacuse at lvl 50? Your forced into a PvP flag and no longer protected and it cannot be switched off.

If I get ganked in every corner in GW2 if Open PvP was in it, I am not coming back to Guild Wars 2 ever again unless a PvE Server with optional PvP was added to not get flagged.

Is expansion 2 make or break for GW2?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

If the story gets more deep and detailed, I will get it. I only do PvE and Story content is the only thing that drives me. If I lose that I am so out of this game as I hate being forced into PvP or other things if its not PvE.

I pre-ordered the expansion and I did not regret the buy, I got what I wanted from the HoT expansion and giving the ability to buy a expensive back item (The Red Flower one) with the included bonus gems from the Ultimate Edition as I was unable to afford it off the TP.

I just hope the story don’t flop or anything though with the next expansion or when the final expansion to end the story which won’t be around for a long long time.

Makeover for the Mystic Salvage Kit

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

I think it would need a change, If the icon is sharing the same one to a 1 time usage salvage kits from npc vendors which can be confusing and you may accidently discard it which is bad.

Secondly people are crazy for buying Gem bought Salvage Items? Who has anyonein GW2 ran out of salvaging kits in the middle of a no where and dont want to WP back to buy more. You save time and money when you can slavage junk right on the spot.

I don’t even bother buying 1 time use salvage kits anymore. My coins are better spent else where.

Removing armor weight restrictions (Revised)

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

I think they prefer to make outfits to put in the gem store so they can profit

Profit? People actually buy outfits? :s I bought ONE, everything else is either too fancy or has clipping issues.

Btw, I agree about removing weight restrictions. Let’s mix-n-match skins freely!

No one cannot deny that facts the Balthaziar Outfit is a great outfit. While you cannot change the flame color for most that wanted that, Atleast it looks cool.

Looks great on my Charr Berserker.

But I do not mind Armor Weight removal.

Improve Character Creation, Please!

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

Black Deserts character creation is actually an illusion. It’s horrible with very limited options, especially if you’re a male (gender locking is the worst thing you can do in an MMO). GW2 actually has more body-type diversity and face options than it without the fancy “puzzle piece” sliders. They could do for a good UI polish though with better lighting (hard to tell how human skin colors will truly look in-game), bigger windows and the inclusion of gem store options being previewable when making new characters.

Or the ability to buy exclusive from the Makeover kits directly for the Character Creation at the vary start.

Meaning you buy the kit and it willl consume it after your done. No need to like skip through the creation screen to buy a kit in game and change.

Lets be honest, the best Charakter Creation in the World has Black desert Online.

Champions Online has the best Character Creation. Cryptic Studios are the ones who has a mega wide selection of costume parts and stuff.

And oh yea Star Trek Online also has the best Character Creation too.

Legendarily Ugly Armor

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

I like the armor. I could maybe give it some color is make it Holy. I been trying to find armor for my character that looks angelic and holy just for the theme. and not like rugged that was not made to look vibrant and bright that was just made for protection and not to look pretty.

I can always put the ruggedness theme on a different character.

But I do think this armor would work for me, But most likely will be using the armor itself without having to apply its skin to non-legandary armor if the stats fit my old armor.

I hope the new armor can get gained through collections. I am to lazy to craft Legandaries the old way less work when we can make precursers bypassing the need to like spend thousands on stuff.

My friend had a super hard time getting Bifrost the old way that she gave up on it. She does not HoT so she won’t be able to craft it the new way.

Do you feel like playing with alts?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

I don’t have any problems with alts, I main two Characters. Guardian (Charr Male) is my default main character and my Alt Main Character whos a Mesmer (Charr Female).

No Gear issues eather, My own problem is I am running out of progress for each of my alts XD, I need more slots soon.

When I started out having alts was a issue beacuse each alt saps a lot of money from you, But eventully that lessens by a huge amount beacuse they already 80 and have the 80 lvl gear.

How do you name your characters?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

For me, My Characters names are a hybrid mixed with both Human and Charr Names in one name. Like Allena Whitetail for example the last name always refers to the charr or other races I picked out.

Only one character who don’t follow the game is my asura named Thomas Norsetien this is just a refrence to Digimon Data Squad and not really part of GW2.

My Main Character named Rathsphere dose not follow any naming rules, Actually he has no known names at all, His Chararacter name is just a title.

Below in the picture is Allena (The one with the mask)
The other is my Main, Which follows a title as a name instead.

I always try to follow names that fits with a slice of names that fits the GW2 Universe casually I don’t nit pick at whatever name people choose, Hey as long as the name sounds cool who am I to judge right?

80lvl boost -throwing all maps into garbage

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

YOU JUST TOOK THE VERY LAST BIT OF PROGRESS OUT OF THE GAME THAT WAS LEFT…. and i dont know if you realize that anet. You are promoting your game as a “big living world full of dynamic events” and you are basically taking it away from the new players…
Its okay giving it to the players who alredy have an lvl 80 character, but giving it to the new players ???

So because you bought the expansion you get to automatically skip everything and become max level instead of having to work for it and put the time into doing it yourself…What is this WoW now ?? What a better way to throw the entire world you created in the garbage. Why would I leave LA now except for guild missions??
It removes the entirety of what GW2 is.. exploration and discovery.

I just feel that i have nothing in this game, untill now i was like “okay i have level 80 i accomplished something in this game”… cant say that after this patch anymore…

I cared about this game but im not going to anymore… im sick of watching stupid decisions pass in anet like that… im a little sad about this cause gw2 was my fav game. R.I.P.

And I cheated my way to lvl 80 on my first character (When I was still new) when the game was in Holloween and all I did was power leveled to 80 and skipped all maps. How shocking :0

Let’s complain about that too and remove exp gain completely from it, I doubt it. Because you could not gain masteries in Mad King’s Labyrinth is not worth it to bring a lvl 80 to that place at all unless all your characters are all lvl 80.

I don't understand the opposition to mounts

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

GW2 where 90% of everyone hating mounts came to avoid them like a its a zombie apocalypse. ( Of Course I love mounts so go ahead and throw tomatoes at me for loving them and even if there not in GW2 it’s not the main reason why I joined GW2 anyways not to avoid mounts.)

And where only 1 mind & 1 comment is needed to speak for everyone but for themselves. “We don’t want mounts” ends all discussions.

The End. Haters gonna hate.

Anyway, I don’t mind if they was gonna add mounts at sometime at a later future if they ever changed there minds about it. But I doubt people are “Forced” to buy mounts even if it was added to GW2, If someone is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to buy something or get shot for not buying then there is something wrong with the picture.

Mastery Point Refund Option

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

Mastery points should never have been a thing in the first place. ANet pulled the trick of hiding progression behind specific content with traits 1.5. I’m seeing some of the same people who complained about this approach with traits supporting it with masteries. Apparently it’s OK if it’s account progression rather than character progression. To me, it’s a bigger steaming pile because a lot of the points are behind things like mini-games, silly achievements in story missions or lengthy/expensive collections.

Masteries per Character Progression is already to much work, Why do that and Map Completion the same time that’s to much work.

You know how long it takes to explore 100% of Tyria and do Masteries for each and every character, I might as well just stick to my main character and never play my alts again.

Map Completion is more than enough that we have to do it per character.

Stop nerfing for the sake of PvP! Why can’t they just admit it would be better for everyone involved if they just separated the kitten ed skills? So sick of this kitten and no doubt we’ll see more as this next season of PvP rolls on.

I agree, All Skills not just Necromancers, But other Professions needs to be split into 2 copies for each mode.

So changes from 1 Mode won’t effect the others.

Guilds, how do others deal with this?

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

For me in my Guild (Camelot Knights)

With Inactivity I only kick people who may of quit the game completely. (If I notice they never come on anymore. I hate being part of someones guild because I have more online stuff than just GW2 on my pc (Who in the world has a Gig (Vary large) or a Terabyte (Extremely Large) Hard Drive just for 1 Game what is the point in that it’s a waste of space.) And I often get kicked out a lot just because I spent my “time” on other MMOs so I make my own.

Anyways,

For those that contribute is optional for bigger guilds sense it’s a lot of people in it and 1 person not contributing outweighs the bigger numbers who do. But for me my guild small so a lot is needed sense small guilds require more work than bigger ones.

But for my guild it’s currently optional at this time.

For those that stay offline but are on the game, That’s there option if they do not want to be seen online.

For are Guild Chat we use it but mostly just party chat when we are doing stuff.

Separation of Balance (Yes this thread again)

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

They should duplicate Skills, Copy all the skills we have in the game and make separate sets.

Like if you enter PvE you get all the same skills as before but these will only effect PvE, If you move to PvP you are not allowed to use PvE Skills and you get automatically switched to the PvP Variant.

Like for example a Elite Skill “Chilled to the bone!” It will say in description that this Elite Skill Version is PvP Only. So upon leaving the PvP Lobby your Chilled to the bone Elite Skill get’s swapped out to the PvE Version.

Having everyone use the same Skills across all modes it causes a tug-of-war effect.

I still enjoy the game, yes it has it’s problems. But does that stop me from enjoying it? No it does not, As long as my fun don’t get smashed I am fine and dandy.

Not every problem will be fix and there will be some that sneaks by. That’s why I mentioned Machines as they make hardly no mistakes at all they have higher response times and can do a better job than humans can.

I will continue to say for the rest of my life is, If you want a 100% Perfect Game don’t hire us weak humans who make mistakes, Instead hire machines they can do the job more perfectly for you than humans can.

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

You must be new to MMOs. I think you should go look at WoW’s forums. Or Archeage. Or anyone for that matter.

Active MMOs all have forums that read just like this one.

Point 1. That doesn’t mean most people are unsatisfied. It means a lot of people who are unsatisfied complain.

Let’s say we see 10,000 people complaining and there are half a million players (clue we haevn’t seen close to 10,000 people complaining). Also some who complain are just trolls, I know because they’ve admitted to me that the only reason they complain is to rile up fan boys.

When you have a million people together a bunch of them are going to be dissatisfied and they’ll complain. It means very little unless a majority are complaining about something. But it’s only really bad press if it’s a) reasonable and b) not happening the MMO forum for every successful MMO.

Point 2. A lot of the things people complain about are handled quickly. However some things people complain about are simply not going to change, no matter how many complaints. For example, when someone nerfs a profession, someone is going to complain that it’s not fair, whether it’s fair or not. Most people are actually reasonable. Most people know that certain professions needed a nerf.

Point 3. Anet is a company comprised of over 300 people. Those 300 people work a lot of hours to bring a program. But when you have that many people all working on different projects, sometimes things fall through the cracks. That’s because people aren’t perfect. They make mistakes. When I ran a store, I made thousands of decisions every week…a few dozen of them were bound to be wrong. It’s not reasonable to expect that mistakes won’t happen, and it’s even less reasonable to believe they can be fixed quickly, particularly if you’re talking about programming mistakes. These games are far more complex than most people think they are.

Point 4. None of us really know how many people by percentage are unhappy with the game, but of the unhappy people, they’re all complaining about disparate things. Which people do you listen to? I know for a fact Anet has made some changes to the game based on what people were saying. Are you suggesting they make a thousand changes to the game all at once? What would that do to their code.

Seriously. Go spend some time on the official forums of other MMORPGs. This is pretty much the norm. And the bigger the game gets, the more attention it gets, and the more people tend to complain.

The happy people? They’re playing the game. They have very little reason to be here.

And to add that, The Developers are not Robots. Nothing will be 100% Perfect, Want perfection? Hire Machines to replace us humans because machines are far more superior than us “humans”

This game is already dead

in PvP

Posted by: Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

I am guessing the original developers of the combat system moved on to better things and the people who came after were just not of the same talent.

the people who made the game understood that builds had to give up something to make the game skill based with counterplay. When they merged all the traits they just let everyone have everything. The result is a game based on spam and rotations basically. It took all the skill out of it, and that was a while ago now. I basically quit a few days after that patch. It was so stupid. Such a huge power creep.

Would an fps be fun if everyone carried round nukes and everyone also had made body armour? Nope. It would be balanced, sure. But its not good design. Look at gw2 now. Everyone has perms boons. Perma condis. Perma condi clear. Perma 6k attacks. Perma healing. There are traits which are a whole build in one trait. There was a reason alot of these traits were spread out before. If you wanted to run signets there were a few traits to take. Meditations on guardian meant a few traits. That meant builds were more focussed on a role and had weaknesses which could be exploited with skilled play.

Look at some of the traits now. They are insane . They are about 4 traits combined. This is madness. That is why the game is dead. People play pvp for pve rewards. That is all.

There are about 20 dudes probably not talented enough to suceed at real esports games who will exploit the fact anet is giving away a bit of money for their dead game. There is no skill i this game. Its all based on comp, has been for 18 montns. And on spamking rotations on a point.

Its dead. The trait merge patch ensured of that. Power creep killed it

Champions Online had more power creep than Guild Wars 2 could ever archive in its life time, 1 Hero could solo 95% of everything on CO. Guild Wars 2 cannot match that kind of power creep and never will.

All the Villains was so freaken easy you can make a Freeform Hero and just spam two-gun mojo and that’s it just sit there holding the 2 button down and sit there.

Maybe Anet should stop spending on Esports

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

E-Sports is the death of this game

If you want a game for E-sports you do so at the start and build a game for it from the ground up. GW2 on the other hand has undergone many balancing patches in the name of E-sports destroying the game for the lifeblood of any game the casuals this isn’t League or a Moba. Sure E-sports may make them money but they’re not investing it into this game all those Youtube videos where they pretend their youtube celebrities obviously don’t pay for themselves.

People interested in E-sports are fickle as well this game obviously wasn’t designed for it while you have another NCSoft game Blade and Soul that is not only more geared for such a thing but even has a WPvP system taking advantage of those changes. E-sport balancing doesn’t do nothing for the zergfest known as WvW.

Constant characters, classes, roles, and updates keep E-sport titles going as well as being it’s primary focus which isn’t something I’d say about GW2. The population has been in decline for sometime and the people I talk to blame two things E-sport balancing without taking into consideration PVE and the awkward gating system. If you complete the masteries then your done with nothing to do so you leave or if you have a single toon then the mastery system gets boring that gates are high because it’s supposed to be done once but some people would have prefered the gates be smaller and made individually to the character. Though those are the people that leave without making posts the people makign posts never leave regardless all these Sab, Mounts, 2h Axe, (Raid)posts have been up for 2-3 years and those people never left and they never will leave this game meanwhile Anet caves to these people who will never leave and the silent majority rushes out the back door.

And that is where I said in my defense like others, Don’t make masteries per character. I already have World Completion which is more than enough, why add extra more hours on top of it, I have 9 Characters in Total doing that 9 times from start to finish is time consuming, If players hate Alts remove the ability to have only 1 Character and no more than 1.

Those that wanted Masteries Account Wide we got what we wanted.

They do it to drum up business for gw2 = more people playing = a greater return then 200k = more investment.

That may be the intantion, but it isn’t working at all. Half of my Guild has left the game and has not come back not even for HoT (me included). GW2s problem lead to people joining other games, WS has become F2P, ToR got a really good story based addon (well, not really mmorpg anymore) and now B&S is fishing the people who wanted Cantha since Day 1.

Anet seriously needs to get their heads together and just drop the whole eSports thing and should focus on a way longer Addon Story (not this LS episode nonesense) and on the WvWvW, because lets face it: the game looses so many people because they did nearly nothing for the WvWvW community…

If i made some gramma mistakes iam sorry, English is not my first language. :*

A huh, Just like how Champions Online (Created by Cryptic Studios) an MMO lost 90% of the Playerbase because a lot threaten in world chat that they would leave because of Alerts being added to the game killing 90% of all content in the game, Why run quests to level up when you can just do alerts.

(The the guy above me)
yea right. As if PvP is the Master Race and PvE and everything is is a peasant.

Same struggle with PC vs Consoles. People call PC a Master Race or they call Console Players a Dirty Console peasant.

Same old Story nothing surprisingly new.

Can i please! turn off other's skill effects?

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

I am fine with the effects as they are, I do think it should be an option for the people turn off or on, It won’t hurt to have more options placed in the options menu.

You had the ability to turn off the ring that shows when you cast an ability, This can be possible.

Because it would be expensive, and they haven’t determined that the trade-off in development resources would be better spent there than on developing new content.

I don’t know what kind of answer you’re expecting.

More importantly, from what little we know the codebase is both huge and an absolute mess. As it is with any codebase older than ~20 minutes.

Re-doing it would take ages.

In laymens terms, GW2’s has a Spaghetti Code. Then GW2 is in much of a mess as Champions Online is (Developed by Cryptic Studios).

why are not more people wearing wings?

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

Old or New, It does not matter. Shiny or not it still does not matter. I played Champions Online and I re-used same old cosmetic pieces for an outfit and still made a perfect match and still do.

I think the white wings match a Guardian more, Black Wings Could match to a darker character appearance.

I still like my Holographic Wings. Don’t care it gotten even old in a few more years in the future.

Change Breathers Into Skins, Not Gear

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

So the poster thinks if aquabreathers turned to skins will confuse the new players. Riiight, So the back item with a skin to apply to your back is confusing too. So for new players we just apply a dunce hat on them beacuse even the tiny simplist idea of using a skin is so confusing to new players we have to call them brain dead.

I was new to the game and was I dumb? Nope I am a vary fast learner and by fast I mean I can learn this game faster than a regular new player up to a point I understand the game fully like Vetern and they get stuck with a “new player” who has the talent and skills of a vetern but still fresh meat in the game for being new still.

Anyways, Having a Aquabreather as a skin sounds like a nice idea. I would love to see a breather match my mesmer’s clothing underwater something that looks extemely cool.

Mounts [merged]

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

Why haven’t they upgraded to new rigs for the magic carpets that is already out?

How many player use magic carpet in game? Almost no one. I see maybe one player a month use it. So I guess you say no one will use mounts to. So no reason for mount because no player really use the ones already there. See if almost everyone uses magic carpet there might be some problem with FPS. You think if you win argument about mount arena net will add them. But you only win argument in your own mind.

Keep wasting your time like everyone else that argue about for or against mounts. This thread started 2 years ago and no mounts with expansion. Maybe next expansion in 3 years there will be mounts.

Some people think mount argument is PvP. This 2 year old thread is really a waste of my time. So I will not post any more. Best wishes to every one for or against having a mount.

I use the Magic Carpet, I could not before beacuse of the arm bug but after they fixed it, I am using it more often on my mesmer.

A good mount without having a huge advantage over the NPCs is get De-mounted if engaged in combat, Give a temporary boost of swiftness for a short time by a skill if your on the mount on top of that Cool Down Function and to prevent the player from re-mounting during combat. This should be applied if it was allowed in WvW as I mentioned above to give no advantage over the players to knock them off there mount once get pulled into combat state or only allow mounts in PvE but ban all mounts from being used in PvP or WvW.

I don’t know if Arena Net’s intention for no mounts in Guild Wars 2 is beacuse it gives a huge advantage over everything, But if you was to heavily restrain the mount and limit its capabilities it can be a fair mount without a huge advantage.

DirectX 11/12 request [merged]

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

So the bottomline to all the agruments, There’s nothing speical about DirectX past 9. If it offers nothing but just extra bells and whistle we all be just on DirectX 9, Nothing should exist past 9.

And for one that said about 32bit. If the client is 64bit it can use more ram. I ran a SL Viewer Client 32 and 64 bit and I had much better performance on the 64bit beacuse my pc had 6GB of ram installed ontop of that is the graphics card and CPU.

32bit Client cannot take advantage of other things a 64bit client could. 32 bit OSs cannot take more ram than it’s allowed. To have more ram you must have a 64bit OS.

Personal Housing

What about the Houses that was implemented in Aion? Sense ncsoft is part of Aion, I had not looked in game to see it in action but I did saw a newws about it back when it was new, anyone who played Aion and got there own home can be added as an option on how it works.

But im sure alot of players across the world forgotten about an MMO called Aion and just brushed it under a carpet like it did not exist.

What do you plan to do in GW2 today?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

Hang out with other people as http://i.imgur.com/spjXMhc.jpg Allena Whitetail my second most Favorite Character now. Weeks ago it was a knock off of my Main Character Rathsphere Male Guardian Charr Race, Took a Identity Repair Kit and overhualed my Mesmer into a completely new character and that’s what she became, I did plan the idea ahead which made the final look come out faster.

But all I will be doing today is just hang out and relax some, I was playing Star Trek Online for a few hours and wanted a place to relax with others in a different setting. I might go gather materials later and make some money (I don’t do crafting vary much) so I can earn a bit of gold on the side, While I do have 70 Gold that can go away in a heart beat.

Legendary Armor is real !

Sonic the Hedgehog.5169

I don’t think anyone wants the same armor to look like clones or just have 100% all the sets worn across the board. Theres some of us who mix and match armors.

If there was Legandary armor and its better than what I have in stats. I would just transmuate it for my Mesmer to keep her style intact. I can always use the style on a future Character for mix and matching. Transmutation Charges do exist in this game.

I mean who would look like me? Not one person has this mix and that’s just for the style alone, All my gear is Exotics only have 1 Ascended Item at this time.
