Guild Wars 2

What is the point of getting the fully ascended gear?
For Pve Players, besides looking beautiful and the feeling that you did it, it serves no purpose.

You will do just fine without ascended gear in the current state. maybe try harder in fracs.

In WoW for example you had to get the best gear because if you didn’t, then you couldn’t do the end game raids…
Im not saying WoW is better, It just gives you this sense of progression while right now Gw2 simply don’t.

Seriously, I stopped playing about 8 months ago and i am still checking every update email hoping that there will be some EndGame content released for veterans that does not involve WvW or pointless Living Stories so I can come back and play.

What is going on? what is the point of bringing new players if the old ones are leaving? =\
Besides making all my characters look kitten, I have no point of actually playing the game anymore. I have all the characters with maxed out armor, and now there is simply nothing else to do.

I think that what everyone is Really looking for is either an Expansion or/ and some actual end game content like Rides, bosses etc for veteran – non pvp – players to do.

Seriously, think about it. That’s probably the only thing that keeps WOW alive today so you can’t say that it’s not worth it or that people don’t like it.

Hey, so when i first opened my account i used my work email, and now I want to change the account’s email address to my personal mail.
Is there any way to do that?

I want to know what you guys think about the whole living story strategy Anet has for “keeping” players interested and playing in the game.

Am i the only one who feels that every month, We get THE SAME living story but with a different “Skin” to it?

- You always need to hunt for pressents / seeds / holographic thingies or whatever.
- you always need to kill a boss / complete a jumping puzzle of some sort- With no significant rewards from any of them, which makes it pointless to do.
- The achievements always feel the same! maybe one time you got them all dragon themed, and one time all toxic themed, but they are generally the same.
- You always get some sort of weapon skins to make you buy more gems in order to get keys for black lion chests.
-You always get some sort of back item related to the story.

The stories themselves are pointless. as much as they are nice, I am playing a game, not reading a book or watching a movie- Give me a story, but don’t make me do the same stuff over and over- changing the story itself and making me do the same stuff doesn’t keep anyone interested or fascinated.

As a hard core pve player, After getting almost all of the classes to 80 and fully geared, i found that these “Living world” stuff have nothing new to offer to me. they are simply the same thing with a slightly different skin to them.

Also, why do Anet think that these Living Story stuff are actually good? by releasing so many pointless and “Copied” updates and not adding any ACTUAL NEW CONTENT just makes people who love the game log in once a month, play a day or two, and leave.
Seriously, After not playing for a few months, I logged back in to check out what’s up a few days ago and found out that NOTHING significant has changed. everything is the same.

Im not comparing between WOW and GW2, these are two different games and i love them both very much, but for WoW, after not playing for about a year, and logging in today- I found out that I had to actually LEARN a whole lot of new stuff because the game has changed so much and added so many cool features to it – and I can’t tell you how awesome it feels! to have new content, not stuff to do, no zones to explore etc …

Worth to think about ?

What do you guys think

So im looking for a proper gs+ axe/shield build for my warrior
mostly doing pve but some wvw also.
would love a sugguestion about armor stats and runes as well!
thanks a lot to anyone who helps

It seems as if The gem store and the trading post are down and not working :S
what’s up with that?

yup. they are amazing.

Anet, Finally i gotta say…
For a guy who doesn’t have the time to farm for a Legendary and or for amazing skins,
the new Zenith weapons are AMAZING!@$!@#%
finally i can look cool without farming my kitten off!

seriously though, they look WAYYYYY better then all the legendaries combined.
go well with the shatterer wings :P

thanks!

Just logged in and got only the crappy chest for 500 points,
it says i have 1736 points earned.
what what??

I have the full armor. major bugg… please fix this (medium armor)

kitten it i feel stupid.
I had no idea about that 10 letters in inbox thingy O_O
well, guess there isn’t a bug after all :P
thanks

Bought 2 Rich dragon coffers and DID NOT GET THEM!
wtf?! title says it all

If you ever played the original GW, you must remember how awesome it was to log in one day and discover a gift in your inventory that says happy birthday on it.

I for one, really liked that.

I think that this should be brought back to gw2.
each year, the day you opened your character, you will be rewarded with a gift for your character’s birthday. the gift may contain a cool skin, minipet,rare dye or whatever it is that you can either sell on TP or use it yourself.

what do you pips think?

So i came up with a new class concept, a mix between a ranger and a mesmer.
the class summons pets and spirits to fight along with, and attacks with a ranged weapons.

all of its powers come from the nature/Spirit world.

I dont have it all figured out so you are welcome to add any ideas

I have created a GW2 style inspired concept art of what the class might look like
hope u like it

No support i guess :/

I know I know, Wow has em and Gw2 is not wow, but lets face it- its necessary!

How many of you play a build, lets say for leveling/wvw/dungeons, and then go into a boss fight or do something else, and find out that the build is completely useless.

now, instead of having to go, respec your traits and wear all your new cloths for the different build, why not have 2 builds which the player can switch between from?
(not in combat of course)

because lets say i have a condition build for pve, and then i go to a dungeon only to find out that there are 2 more condition players. i would quickly switch to the other build i have, without having to spend money and time on respec.

even though some may think its a rip off from wow or other games, lets face it- it would make the game alot less frustrating, and much more diverse. every charecter would be more helpful, and players would be able to choose their own play style, depending on the situation.

what do you think?

Hey, I just started a new warrior and i am having a tough time deciding on a build

i got a few questions(all are related to PVE only ):
first of all, which build is best for leveling?

second, is condition build any good for warriors? im used to playing condition thief and loving the fact that i can easily take on 6-7 targets with no sweat, and get to 25 bleed stack fast. do warriors have the same thing?

which weapon combos would you sugguest for fast killing and taking on multiple mobs?

im thinking either:
sword/axe
axe/axe
axe/shield
gs

would really appreciate your help
thanks!

60 keys- 0 tickets
my friend- 1 key- 1 ticket

Amazing how you actually think its as simple as “Unlucky”… im pretty sure its a bug of some sort. there is no way you open 500 chests and get nothing. and if there is, someone should sue Anet for stealing all of our money for false promises.

I’ve just opened more then 100 chests, there is no way that the rate is that high. also, a friend of mine opened more then 300 chests and got no coupon.
Anet- you suck! You just cost me a big load of $ and gold!

So here it is- what happend to the Daggers?
back in the original GW there were Loads of awesome dagger skins.
now it seems like the daggers are kind of left out…

Lets face it, the dagger is a small weapon, and therefore, if it doesnt have any glow on it or something that really stands out then it they just mostly look the same.

I like how in the original GW you had alot of different kinds like double bladed daggers, fist weapon-like daggers and ofc the usual kind like you see in GW2.

Now the only way of getting a cool skinned dagger wich is slightly different is to get the Centurions Claw. But in order for you to get it- you must have 13 hall of monument points from GW1 wich is for some players (like myself who got hacked and lost his old gw account) is impossible (or just a waste of time) to get right now.

I think its only fair to ask for some cooler/ more diverse dagger skins…
Dont you think?

Eh… you’ve just pointed out all the good thigs about the karma system.
not a chef? give it a shot. don’t like the 80 exotics? meh, too bad.

seriously, think about it this way- Karma is just a BONUS. when you finish a dungeon it’s expected that you only get Exp,Loot and tokens- like in every other game.
but here they give you karma as well, so people who ARE interested in cooking, karma 80 gear and the exotic skins will be able to achieve them more easily.

You don’t like getting karma from dungeons? just don’t look at it and im sure you will be just fine.

Topic says it all.
Im a ranger, and since the last 2 patches- my pets are useless. they generate no aggro and so my longbow is useless.

srsly, i hope that this is a bug and not another nerf, because if it is a nerf- then that’s the final reason Anet has given me leaving this game and go back to WOW

world event cap? wtf… I was unaware of that.
this is ridiculous.. If i want to farm world events and dungeons, what’s wrong with that?

and all of you who say that dungeon grinders and loot grinders are sad- hey- THIS IS WHAT WE LIKE TO DO! we are not telling you how to lvl your char and how to play the game, so please, DONT TELL ME HOW TO PLAY WITH MY CHAR! its all fun and nice that I have alot of lore and exploring and bla bla bla, but if I don’t want that, and I wanna lvl the way im used to from other games – Why can’t I have that? why do you have to limit me?!

I completely agree with you man.
Wayhpoint costs are wayyyy over priced. I think they shouldn’t cost anything, but if they do- why is it so overpriced?! i find myself losing about 10s and hour for traveling!

Well I dont know if it’s like that in all dungeons, but as far as CM and AC going on- there is no point doing it now whatsoever.
after an hour (at least) of investing into the dungeon, you only get 6k exp and 11s…

You can get that amount of exp from doing 3-4 events repeatedly, and with the amount of silver being tossed away for repairs- you barely make it out with a solid 6-8s.

I think Anet should have at least gave in better loot for the dungeons if they make it harder. now its just doesn’t worth the effort and simply a waste of time =\

Ok, so since the game came out, i’ve had this problem with the FPS…
it’s simply unplayable…
I’ve noticed that it doesn’t matter what i do in the options panel, the only thing that controls the fps change is the Render Sampling. when its on “Native”- the fps is between 1-5, when its on “Supersample” the game is between 5-15. when on the lowest i can stretch to around 30, but the graphics look seriously crappy by then…

now these are my computer details, and I also added 2 screenshots at the end…

I think my computer more than meets the requirements… please tell me what the hell is wrong and what should i do? :<

Well, I am a Norn ranger, and it seems as if my “Call Owl” skill is not working :S
I use it, yet nothing seem to happen :S
