So I can’t swear in an online game? I thought online was the best place to talk smack and now I am

Yeah I was just seeing if a mod here could speed up the process, I think its serious BS that they would do a 3 suspension over language to one player :/
further.. in every other game people can use the “ignore” button, not everyone gets suspended every time they talk smack :/
Just curious, can someone shorten this suspension? I wanted to get in some gaming before the weekend and I got reported for swearing at some guy I didn’t like, I think 3 days is a long-ace time for verbal abuse…
verbal abuse is build into the fabric of the online gaming experience
Great post OP!
I wish GW2 and a lot of other fantasy mmorps would learn from Dark Souls.
I bought GW2 on head start and I was utterly butterly bored with the kitten easy, alt tab 1 2 3 4, skill-less button mashing game play that I stopped playing GW2 after a month.
And then, I stumbled upon the PC release of Dark Souls Prepare to Die edition and OMG! I finally found an RPG (multiplier not MMO) with really hard, uber-tastic skilll based quality game play.
I have not been able to stop playing Dark Souls and this is after months and many hours. Dark Souls game play and general combat is just sooooo much better, soo much harder and sooo much more fun, challenging and rewarding than what’s available in GW2 and other mmorpgs.
I was totally shocked by how good Dark Souls is. And I just happened to stumble upon it. The game had no massive multi-year hype. I totally just stumbled upon it and was totally blown away (it’s one of my all time, all star bestest games evar).
I hope many other online games try to copy it’s game play features. I also wish GW2 armor skins were more like the ones in Dark Souls.
Thanks, I want this game to suceed but the serious PVE right now is so slow and boring something needs to change for long term success
- you can run any dungeon exp mode in any gear (no enrage, will just be longer or shorter)
- the point at which you need AGONY gear can only be reached by completing the earlier section which will AWARD agony gear
that being said.. skill based progression would be more interesting than gear attunements (make end of dungeon impossible for nubs, instead of faceroll like everything else)…
wait a second, we dont need agony gear!?!?
Rabble, rabble, rabble, rabble!

As to what can GW2 learn from DS in general? How about making enemies that can actually kill you instead of having most fights consist of enemies with huge HP bars where you flail at them for 5 minutes straight with little chance of actually dying unless you’re asleep on your keyboard and your drool is magically making your character jump off to its death. Playing musical chairs and dodging the absolutely obvious “insta-down” attacks is Zzzzzzzz.
This man nailed my point
Dark souls. The worst game I have ever had the misfortune of playing. GW2 – one of the best.
Not gonna go into why I couldn’t stand Dark souls etc etc just want to say 2 completely diff games. People enjoy different types of games, if GW was more like DS I would be playing it. Along with many others.
That was the least helpful comment so far in the thread, thanks for contributing nothing to the discussion.
no it’s because he died, over and over.
and how in any way is muscle memory skill, thats no different than me never taking a single hit from Subject Alpha because i know exactly when to dodge roll.the only way your ever going to get true difficulty out of a boss is if the boss is random, the fight is chaotic to the point where you cannot guess or predict what’s coming next.
if you know what’s coming, and when it’s coming it’s not hard and it never will be, why else is WoW PVE so easy these days? because addons do it all for you, it’s not that much different from GW2 tells.
Artifical Difficulty in another form, that’s all.
I am not saying there is not 1 boss in GW2 that employs a reasonable skill requirement (i.e. learn moves/enviro/tells to win boss), I am saying that 99% of the time this is not the case and it is simply stacking HP so it takes forever to create an “illusion” of difficulty which is unacceptable because really it is just DEAD EASY PvE that happens to take hours because of hp pools
Aren’t Dark Souls and Guild Wars 2 two completely different games…?
Yeah, one is challenging and rewarding PvE and one is something I need to afk with autoattack for 10 minutes each elite
You go afk with autoattack on Alpha or Giganticus without dying, and show me a profession with an elite that has a 10 minute cooldown.
Also, why are you playing a game you don’t enjoy over a game you do enjoy? Your other game is over there.——>
I meant elite mobs, not skill
And I’m not palying atm so I’m trying to suggest improvements since otherwise the game has alot of other strengths

- PvE content can be challenging, rewarding, and fun WITHOUT huge health pools on enemies
- Unique avoidable and learnable enemy patterns are CHALLENGING
- Huge health pools are TIME CONSUMING
Conclusion: Please SIGNIFICANTLY reduce trash/boss health pools (and up damage if you want) so that people can enjoy your content!
Purpose: – Promote continuity and purpose within WvW
Method:
- A visible (somewhere) ranking for guild/individual contribution to WvW effort quantified by points (i.e. a construction of their taken keeps/towers/supply camps/etc.. + kills, etc..)
- Per server rankings/ then cross-server rankings
- Leaders accumulating either
a) rare items
b) credit towards and/or titles
c) etc..
Thank you!
Quick pt form:
- Your concept is beautiful
- In practice it is simply enormous groups of players tagging other players for XP/Badges/Karma cred
- Organizing into smaller groups it is only possible to raid supply camps; attempting a keep will have the zerg descend on your merry 5-band
PT: Please find a karma/xp/item/mechanics way to stop WvW from being 1 or 2 enormous groups training around in circles to whichever keep the other zerg is at
Otherwise WvW gets boring very very quickly
MORE THIS… just wiped after an hour to get there…
anyone looked at this? dropped cash on ruens and they don’t work!
maybe to PUG a tourney in primetime solo queuing u can get a decent fast pop… and then lose horribly
yay?
I can’t find a tpvp guild since nobody wants to show up without rankings
Without a rankign system that recognizes skill and not time grinded the pvp here is meaningless and I’m not sure how you could even begin to call it an esport.. sports without performance based rankings.. IMAGINE!
Please add in ladder ASAP, that should be #1 x100000000000000000000
Why would anyone rent servers from you to practice for permanently unranked matches where they gain no visible standing relative to their peers except for “vanity” gear..
If I go stand in mists (in server primetime) I can’t find a team of anyone, let alone good players for over an hour… Making it unlike the rest of the game, whre I can’t just pop in and run an hour of tournies.. I need to spend like 1.5-2 hrs just getting a team together so it MUST become a whole night event..
Perhaps a “LF Tourney” Tool or pvp LFG tool with rank listings and class
Thanks.
