Guild Wars 2

The matchmaking system is a joke, unless you are with the ‘favoured’.

This achievement needs to be changed to avoid spoiling matches, currently you only get a point for defending the team’s capture point, making players just want to sit and defend that point.

I agree…I find it pointlessly annoying

So it’s players vs. players, I always thought it was player vs. player, I think most do?

Just a curious question as to why it’s called this and not Team vs. Team? Doesn’t this give the wrong impression to some people?

Speaking for guardian, yet another update that sucks, after being forced into playing the role of DH to be competitive. It has been consecutively nerfed (imo didn’t really need to this update, maybe just True Shot and also nerfing a condition removal?), it’s more unbalanced than before now.
I feel the game is very linear and your forced to playing certain builds, guess it’ll burn guardian now? A far cry from the gw1 days of making your own builds and being successful with them, it’s more like gw for dummies now.

I don’t care about it and will not be purchasing it, for the first time since Guild Wars Prophecies.

Linking the servers in the manner it’s been done could be the last nail in the coffin for WvW for a lot of people When they stop listening to what players are saying, it’s doomed, without players the game is nothing.

I always have respect for other GWAMM players I see, but in GW1 the Incorrigible Ale-Hound title to me was a nightmare, that is before they made it easier, 10,000 minutes drunk was no joy, having to click on a new ale when it was wearing off. I’d just completed it before they made it easier….grrrrr. In GW2 the hardest title I’ve achieved was The Blazing light on guardian, pre HoT.

Why haven’t Drakkar Lake and Dzagonur changed, surely that’s a advantage?

k, it’s been a while since I played any PvP but what happened to the trap doors on Skyhammer? That map use to be so much fun, now it’s just plain boring,. Also slow orb spawns on Spirit watch, what’s that all about? I only restarted doing PvP after the shambles that WvW is atm, Improvements I think not….

I’m sure I’m not the only person wondering why this is? After all isn’t a forum to discuss issues that people have with the current game. I’d say the current match up system is a big issue for a lot of people, which leaves me to speculate that you already know it’s a unfair shambles of a system.

I think a lot is going to depend on HoT whether it makes or breaks it….and from what I’ve seen recently there’s plenty room for concern.

Anyone else foresee in the near future, the end of guild wars? I wouldn’t like to see the end but when shallow, uninteresting, unrewarding, frustrating game play take over, it’s time to leave the sinking ship I’m afraid. HoT is going have to bring some ground breaking ideas to the table if it’s to keep it’s head above water. A lot of loyal veteran GW players have left already (10 years since gw prophecies), Anet doesn’t seem to care about losing these people, soon they will have no loyal followers and just be left with new ‘latest thing’ players that will just move on after a while. I feel a real lack of care and understanding about what players want, issues that never get resolved, lack of communication, I’d like to see more devs responding on these discussion pages, instead of just letting us argue between ourselves….I did once raise a issue to Anet and was prompted to discuss on here, apparently they ‘read’ these….
I’ve been gaming since the day’s of Pong, I’ve seen many titles come and go, GW1 was a much better game imo, and they should look more at what made that game such a success in game play and longevity, GW2 has always seemed like a step backwards, I understand it was trying to go in a new direction, but it’s been 3 years now. issues are still unresolved, dull content, lack of care and understanding and thanks to july ‘dumbed down’ update even more unbalanced play. You can put all the flashy graphics, weapon skins and pointless TP items you like but if you don’t have the game play you have nothing and without a loyal fan base you will have nothing.
The July update killed it for me….unfortunately I had already pre ordered my HoT copy before the update was released which I never would of purchased….
Feels like I’m being forced to look elsewhere, sorry day indeed.

So why should Arenanet give a flying crap about a handful of disgruntled people who are complaining constantly on this forum. There are more then enough people who actually enjoy this game very much. If you don’t like this game then please leave, instead of demotivating people by calling out only the worst things in game. And never come back. Arenanet should close this forums permanent. It’s 95% worthless and toxic nonsense. You should be ashamed of the disrespect you have. Sometimes it’s worth a lot to say something, but in most cases you should keep that mouth shut. (James 1:19 Know this, my beloved brothers: Everyone must be quick to listen, slow to speak). This game has a crap load of content to enjoy. Unfortunately most of the “forum naggers” are not able to see those things, and from there we can only make one conclusion: This is not the right game for you!

You are not here to leave the game. When you are actually going to leave, you would just go and not give any response whatsoever. You are just here to get the attention from people who want to squeal with you… If you want to go, just go…

Greetz!

lol your right about one thing Anet doesn’t give a flying crap about what players want the majority of the time, and there’s a lot more than just a handful of disgruntled people that are leaving, and you say people shouldn’t have a voice? or be concerned by that? I’ve played GW since the beginning and have a right to voice my opinion.
The GW players are what keep guild wars alive, Anet are the people who can be putting the nails in it’s coffin.

Another guild wars veteran has left the building….

sorry, the only valuable items I have left are soul bound and I used all my gold in the post July unbalanced update, trying to fix builds…in vain

I don’t think my reasons are poor at all, they are personal reasons to me and enough reason to start me looking elsewhere for gaming. The discussion was if you believed the end of GW was nigh, I personally think it is.

For me personally my biggest gripe is with the targeting system, I don’t understand the logic behind making it so difficult to keep a lock on your target, I’ve tried using the settings, auto-target off, etc and still have difficulties with it, constantly having to press ‘T’ to keep it on the designated target is not fun, it’s annoying! In WvW, PvP when your in combat it shouldn’t change from your designated target to a mosquito or any other target, that just doesn’t make sense…it also gives a slight advantage to players with pets, minions, etc….maybe I’m missing something because I just don’t get it?….I’d like to see a proper target lock or more like the gw1 targeting system.
Another issue I have is with the slow motion running when you have aggro, why should this happen?
These two issues imo should of been addressed a long time ago
I will refrain from commenting at present about my dislikes about the latest op update, I always have disliked it when skills, builds etc are changed, I understand at times it’s necessary but a lot of times it isn’t, and when such drastic changes do happen I believe you should be compensated for it, I dislike having to spend my hard earned gold buying new runes, etc because of updates.
Another issue I have is with fractals…is to stop selling infusions in Trading Post! Make people have to craft their infusions making them more experienced to do higher levels later on. It’s frustrating for more experienced players to be with inexperienced people in pug groups (not everyone runs in guild groups) and who have bought theirs and quickly progressed to doing the same level….also make rewards for levels better (than at present) as you progress, I believe there will be more levels in the future? It should be more rewarding for people who put the time and effort into it.
(unfortunately with the latest update to skills, fractals has got even easier with the rewards I believe being nerfed more…not the right way to go imo).

I’m posting on behalf of my friend who cannot post in this forum at the moment. It’s been over 3 days with no reply concerning her account issue, ticket number is 461911. Thanx for your help.
