Guild Wars 2

I wouldnt mind if they added this, but i would probally just used it to craft and buy furniture and stuff to go in it if they make it that way. i doubt id spend any time in the house other then looking at the stuff ive gotten for it. id prob never invite anyone to it or anything. but that would give players something extra to do.

i felt i reached the end of this game when i finished the story and got 100% map completion. i may farm and do dungeons and stuff to, but i think the end was over when i finished those things. so to me id like to see about 10 more areas unlocked and a new storyline, but i guess we will have to wait for an expansion to get that.

It is a mount as in, you sit on it. That’s about it. As for everything else, it is nothing like what a mount is. And I’m sure the millions of games out there that have mounts agree with my definition as well, otherwise all mounts in every game that has them would be like the Riding Broom. But they are not. They are like my definition.

Except for LotRO, which managed to implement mounts in mounted combat, all other MMOs have mounts merely as cosmetic items. It’s pretty much the same concept if GW2 would start to incorporate them as town clothing. The only difference would be that town clothes doesn’t come with a speed boost.

the mmo age of conan has mounts you can use in combat. i think the broom is a mount also. you get on it and ride it.

what i like about mmo’s is the adventure and story my characters will go on. once thats over i may stick around to do extra stuff but not for long usually. i dont like to grind to much because i start asking myself why am i even bothering wasting hours of my life on 1 game when ive reached the end of it and theres other games out there that i also wanna play. then i slowly realize its time to move on.

I like to play mmo’s solo, but i like to chat in the world chat to other people just to be social i guess. i dont like grouping with other people to much though except for dungeons where u have to. and when i do i prefer laid back players to play with. players that can laugh at stuff together like if the whole party dies or is going kinda slow its still fun. i dont like grouping when your grouped up with players who try to take over the group saying “go here, dont go that way, i know a shortcut, let’s skip this ect…” because i feel like if me or someone else in the group messes up you gotta hear “what are you doing? dont do that! oh no you are such a noob! why did you pull that group! ect…” its people like that that turn me off to group play.

last night while i was in la waiting for a fotm group i thought “i feel like i played gw2 up to 80 until they released the fotm patch then anet gave me a new game called fotm” lol. i mean thats all i really care to do anymore. i can usually fill up most if not all of my inventory in 1 run with mostly greens and rares making me some quick cash. i get the stuff for the new gear and good mats to. but i miss the rest of the game. but their is really no reason to go back to it without it becoming less rewarding.

Dont get me wrong im loving gw2 i cant really complain, but if i had to answer that question it would be.

1. the most thing i miss more then anything else in gw2 is the henchs and heros you can equip and put skills on. that was so much fun. i didnt have to wait around to get in a group i could just grab and go and i miss that alot.

2. alot of skills to choose from 2 different professions.

3. gw1 had a great story that really drew me in to it. the story in gw2 is just not as good in my opinion, but i guess after so many mmorpg’s how many different ways can you have a mage or corrupted guy or dragon ect… wanting to destroy the world. which i ask myself sometimes, what if these guys did destroy the world. what would they do after that? their wouldnt be noone left to conquer or anything for them to do.

4. i miss bosses that drop certain weapons only that boss can drop. that was fun farming for them and it gave you a little something extra to do. if you were looking for something you knew where to find it and not rely on a random drop.

5. i havent played gw1 in a few years, but i seem to remember alot of the costumes looking better. i could be wrong as i said its been a few years.

That happened to me during halloween when i was playing in a costume brawl in LA and someone knocked me off in the water. i turned back normal and when i came back on land my pet shark was on land like that. it is funny.

Edit: Another wierd thing happened the other day when i was a zombie in a costume brawl and fell in the water. it turned me back normal, but i still had the zombie limp in my walk.

I would like to see the game have a hard mode for all zones in the game with about the same difficulty as the level 80 zones. this way once you hit 80 you could go back to any zone you wanted to and have some variety while your farming rather then just going to orr, frostgorge, or the cursed shore. i think it would make the game more enjoyable as an endgame type thing.

Also in hard mode i think it would be cool to be able to redo all quests and events with a higher level of difficulty and have normal and hard mode world completions.

I would also like to see special named exotic weapons have a chance to drop from hard mode world bosses in each type of zone (except town zones) with new skins that would only be on that weapon.

So this would add to the end game i would think making players wanna go back to those old zones. i know you can now and it scales you down, but some people dont wanna go back because the drops arent as good. im guessing thats the main reason people stay in the higher zones. so this would get people in zones all over the place i would think. people would go back to each zone also for the world boss weapons i mentioned above. youd see people hanging around playing in zones just waiting for them to show up. and it would also be fun to do all the quests and events at higher levels all over again with better rewards then the first time around.

only problem i would see with this though would be if people would rush through normal just to be able to get to hard mode. but i guess alot of people rush through already. so maybe make it to where you have to be level 80 and have completed normal 100% completion before you were able to go to hard mode. theres probally other goods and bads of this to that i cant think of at the moment, but it just sounds like a great idea to me.

Im loving gw2 other then like some others have said it needs a better way to find a group like a lfg option.

and to anyone who says user reviews aren’t important or dont matter i always look at user reviews. they matter more to me then pro reviews. i’ll take a users review over any review over at gamespots or igns ect… websites anyday. i never even bother to read a pro game reviewers review. and i order from amazon quite often and i always look at the user reviews and i always click on the lowest ratings of an item first to see what the bads are. and if i dont see that many bads ill look at what the goods are and if the goods outweigh the bads i may buy it. but they have to outweigh them alot. and if i see enough bads i may not even bother looking at what the goods are. but every so often ill want an item no matter what anyone says about it.

the difficulty to me is fine, and while the art is great and stuff in both zones i dont find them fun to play in. but like if queensdale or some of the other areas that have alot of different variety in them was the last areas i could play in them all day.

i wish they would make a new zone thats at night and looks alot like that dark wooded area in snowblind in it. walking through that is really awesome. or maybe make the night time in all zones that dark.

i have the same problem dude. standing around anywhere looking for dungeons typing LFG for 30 minutes is so boring. i wish that since dungeons are instances they would bring back henches that just stand by the door to the dungeon. dont have many friends to do dungeons with? dont wanna type lfg for a long time? none of ya guildmates wanna do the dungeon with you, or you dont really care about joining a guild? no need to wait and see if my gear is good enough or the fact that im a ranger or any other nonwanted character. well just grab the henches and go and in about 10 seconds im back to having fun again. that would solve every issue i have with this game which is only the waiting time on doing dungeons. everything else about this game i love.

yeah he is now my favorite thing in the game. i want to see more of him. does he have his own race? or was he made from someone? can he speak? is he the only one? im more interested in him then any of the dragon stuff you hear about.

Hello, im just curious to know if we can delete the 2 map fragments and the soggy bag yet, or do we need them for something thanks.

like 5000+ people still need the event.

invite me to please thanks. ign Draydun

yeah hes bugged where im at to. theres like 20-30 people around him just waiting.

btw can someone tell me who largos is i keep hearing about is? is he like the next person after canach?

im ok with the new stuff they are adding, but i wish they would have huge type quests (not dungeons) for harder to get items. like you go on a journey doing quests for weapons or parts of a set of armor that has a whole storyline of its own. thats what i like most about mmo’s is the huge open world and the journey you go on experiencing a fantasy through your character. if they had no story or quests i probally wouldnt bother playing mmo’s. fixing endgame with a few new items here and there or dungeons to repeat 20 times to get something isnt fun to me. it isnt adding to the journey of my character its only adding to my character. although i may do the dungeons if i want the items its not fun. the dungeons are fun the first time, but if i have to do them 20 more times just to get something it becomes boring.

i cant speak for everyone, but to me its all about the journey and story and not about the stats on my characters weapons and armor. thats just an extra to do as i go on the journey. but as i said above if there was a story behind the legendarys or exotics ect… that im trying to get it would add more to it i think.

RNG isnt fun. That was your politics Anet If I remember right.. Fun at first place..

What does RNG stand for? i see that alot here on the forums thanks.

im curious about this to. like what all about this lost shores thing will be here to stay that ill be able to finish anytime i want to, and what all is a one time only thing that can be missed.

yes fishing in mmo games are always a plus for me.

Id be happy with a new area to explore every month with new quests, all new foes, map completion stuff and events. i dunno how other people think of end game, but when i think of it it means ive run out of new areas to explore and quests to do. so that would remove any “theres no end game” to me.

Here check this out it helped me alot. it used to be on this forum but i cant seem to find it.

http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/38216-playing-custom-music-ingame/

ive wondered about this to. it happens to me everytime i load the game and go to different zones. itll load up the loading background for about 5-10 seconds then go off then load it back up for like 1 second then the game loads. sometimes i dont even touch the keyboard until the first one finishes loading because i know the second one lets me know when its finished lol.

i dont like any type of pvp really, but i agree with what alot of you have said. especially the part about when you die you have to walk so far back. when i die i usually say to myself im not walking way back over there and leave back to la for some pve fun. but like i said im not much into pvp anyway so even if they spawned me right back where i died id still find it boring.

Could be wrong here but im currently watching this doc on netflix about an adventurer that got lost in the amazon named percy fawcett while searching for a lost city he called z or whatever. it could be the idea behind the 2 fawcett puzzles. funny really as im doing the puzzle now im like wait this guys name is fawcett hmmm. anyway could be wrong but he was an adventurer. but the fawcett in the puzzle seems to be more of a pirate or something.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Fawcett

That’s probably more to do with Justin Fawcett, employee of ArenaNet. I bet the trap that gets you the “Fawcett’s Revenge” was his idea.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Justin_Fawcett

ok that would make more sense i guess cool.

Im currently gonna try for the dungeon master title and what an aggravation it is to try to find a group. I wish they would make a group of henches like in gw1, but in this game just have them for grab and go dungeons. it would be so much better. i know i could join a guild, but i dont really care to atm. i would prefer to join a guild that i will stay in and be part of then just use to help me get past stuff in the game then leave it.

ive been in queensdale for 3 days now looking for a cm explore group for the serapth path because ive gotten the other ones and ive got lucky 1 time, but someone left then the others i guess thought it was too hard and gave up. then theres the explore groups i have joined and people will pick different paths and not trying to be rude i stay and help them for a hour or however long it may take.

i dunno about being able to solo them because they are made for teams, but a group of henchs waiting to be hired by the dungeon entrance would help alot.

yeah great game i cant stop playing it either. i bought 2 other games when this came out and still havent gotten around to playing them too much yet. and now i wanna buy assassins creed 3 because i love the storyline in those games so much. but i think i may wait until next month to see if im playing this less.

add it to ya bookmarks. about the only bookmarks i ever have is game forums ones.

i dont see the problem with being in more then one guild. it seems like mostly the ones that are bothered are the guild leaders who want their idea of a guild that they named and designed an idea around that noone else had a say in to spread by using the people that join it to in some way advertise it for them.

like i could understand some friends who got together and designed and agreed on a name to and an idea for it and the rules for it because you helped create that idea. but if i join a guild called “the doom of tyria” (dunno if this is a real guild) i had no help in creating that guild all im doing is joining it and advertising it for you hoping i will get a group for some dungeons out of it.

If i ever joined a guild permanently i would want to join one from the begining by helping name it and the idea for it and rules and see if it succeeds or not. i guess its just an extra challenge in the game to eventually accomplish.

so as i say i dont see the problem with joining a bunch of guilds to get help from then leave once you want one permanently. and also it lets you try out more. you may like the type of people in another one more, but if you join only one you may miss out on a great one that appeals to you more later.

i dont like when you have to represent a guild just for the fact i have to have a (Guild) tag at the end of my name and i dont like that. or like in gw1 where you had a guild logo on ya cape they may want you to wear. i didnt like having to wear that either.

what id do is just switch to a different server and do it and hopefully noone will be doing it there.

Thats pretty cool dude. i was wondering the other day when i saw some of them letters written on stuff if they actually said something and how long until someone figured it out. reminds me of people who figured out the dead space stuff a long time ago. i saw that poster earlier today and wondered “has that been here this whole time and i just now noticed or is it new?” but good work.

they could just add a whole new collections tab under collections to hold every type of outfit type clothing. kinda like the minipets tab they have which is cool to have.

wow that is pretty cool. me the wife and kids made a few pumpkins, but wasnt gw related and nowhere as good as that. very well done.

i say add mounts for cosmetic purposes, but they walk the same speed as you do already or maybe 10% faster. but i dont see how you would get around in the later areas being everything is so close together you will be getting attacked all the way to your destination unless they make mounts invunerable.

i kinda felt the same way about the mk event and how everyone except me seemed to get exotics. after about 40 runs being in groups with other people texting their exotics and stuff, and some people in the same group getting more then one before the group would break up just seemed not fair to me. but i knew it was luck just like rolling a dice with 100’s of sides hoping its gonna land on the exotic side. but earleir i ran in a group and finally got an exotic then next run got a rare recipe then back to greens. then went to queensdale and got the email for day 4 event i guess i got lucky after all and got 1 right before it ended like that lol.

The other day i saw someone im guessing works for anet in the game. he or she had an arenanet logo beside their name. i was in gendarrin fields and we both walked up to a halloween door and each opened it. then we went into a nearby town and he or she put down a cauldren and he beat me once then i beat him and he bowed and waved and i waved and he walked off. it was pretty cool to have played with one of them if that was one of them. then later i saw he or she ask in the chat if anyone needed to do the book quest there.

I remember gw1 having a hat merchant that you could store all the holiday type clothes you got so it wouldnt take up alot of inventory space. i hope they add one here as well. sorry if this has been suggested before.

ive ran it about 30 times and not 1 exotic. i was in a group last night we did like maybe 8 runs and everyone else got exotics. 1 person got like 3-4 exotics, 2 dye packs, and a halloween mini from a normal foe there lol.

Dont give up dude you can do it. took me bout 75 or more tries to do the first half. but i learned to make the longer jumps to save time. and once i got to the first chest it took like maybe 5-10 tries to do the rest.

things that helped me was

- turn down the cameras rotation speed a bit. this way you dont turn so fast.
- the first part you have to be fast.
- during the first part jump over the small cogs dont land on them. gives you extra time.
- focusing and saying come on baby, come on baby, come on baby alot helped me to lol.

once i learned the first part to jump over them small cog wheels not land on them because that was slowing me down alot. then the next part was missing the long jump to the big cog wheel. then the next part was the sideways beam, but that didnt take long to get. after i could get those parts down and consistent it was no problem at all for me.

can you only get 3/4 atm? im assuming that party will be the last one or what thanks.

“Summon pigeons to attack nearby enemies when you activate an elite skill.”

Ohhh that is creepy right there. somebody hold me.

Id like to be able to do that to.

could someone tell me what time it will start if you live in the central time zone please i would appreciate it alot thanks.

another tip that may help others that helped me was turning down the rotation speed in the options.

i like this alot better thanks anet for the change.
