Guild Wars 2

First of all hats off to the team who made the new hats in Doric Lake.
I love the fact the fish wwe catch or the lobsters we get can be used to feed stranded soldiers in the wild or can give it to cooks in other camps instead of New Loamust itself.

There is this entire Interdependent community in the entire Map

I would prefer a tier system of hearts like in verdant brink with dynamic build up.

As I remember this how the game was advertised.

Why release a new expansion instead revitalize the game.

I have noticed a new AI to all enemies in the maps can we have same system applied to core tyria with new AI skills and abilities?

We should have supply chains and each villages or hearts depending on each other and certain towns getting upgraded and offering things only if they reach a particular level.

Like you catch fish but cooks can either cook or hungry soldiers can eat up but what if the cooks cook ? can we get a fish fry now and get buff or feed cooked food to the guards or distributing them will reward us better?

Like delivering ores and other stuff will make blacksmiths bolster guards for future attack since you added ores and metals or helped in hammering.

These weapons are taken to other villages or Maps itself to create economy of AI itself with special items being offered.

The game is really good but the things are so completely convenient.

defending the temples may have a blessing effect on the shrines in Divinity’s reach?

Small minor thing like if the water is being poisoned the NPCs in divinity’s reach and the neighboring villages will be on break as they got sick.

Maybe helping the apple farm people can be helped to make pies and defend from spider and take this pie to cheer up he sick villagers.

Also after like one hour these villagers come back or after day night cycle.

Can we have these mechanics it will be a huge project but a side ops team can work and making mini stories within a zone on between Maps.

Another example is in Diessa plateau the Charr festival is 24X7 make it seasonal and NPCs from various places going and buying stuff from this step or a charr cub asking for a toy from the golden pavilion in Divinity’s reach during a festival.

But for wooden toy you need the lumber camp to be defended so you get a item called ‘easy soft wood’, give it to a wood worker NPC and treat him with a charr pint and you get the toy next day.

I say you guys should really look into this kind of behavior for AI or try preparing for GW 3.

Anet please don’t rush the next expansion Why not even revamp the core game and then think about the dragons.

Till then make small episodes with no new maps like problems in Ascalon, HUman inner politics, Nightmare court etc very small episodes.

This game has too much of content try pruning may things and make it a bit more organized and also make the AI in core tyria challenging please.

This game does not need you to be in a group but can still cooperatively play with others hence there will be no whining by solo player.

Please take your time on the future expansion and stop making new maps, Improve AI and make the gameworld more lively believe me it is a worthwhile investment even for the future.

have you tried ever one shotting Arrowheads and boneheads? you can stun em with Mace burst skill in one go.

entire break bar just gone.

man Berzerkers is epic, with mace Shield its epic, the Leap ability is invaluble in PVP combined with warrior sprint for me.

I am enjoying Berserker a lot, yeah but many players are not liking it, i feel berserker should give and increased damage boost for few moments at least

when i look back its been a long time, man this is epic.

I started as warrior Charr i used kill spider lings, clean scrapyards, watch over devourer Hatchery i even repaired a submarine.

and Now I am a commander who is standing at the bring of destruction for the reign of chaos has come at last.

i used to feel so proud when Rytlock used to send email congratulating me, now from a simple soldier i am the commander ofthe pact which comprises of the best , smartest, bravest people Tyria has ever seen.

its a huge responsibility too.

in World of Warcraft the story ends once i hit the level cap, and ask me the story what is it?

collect 10 bear rumps, kill 10 boars thats it from 1 -90 same thing over and over.
after level cap we gear up and raids have story but in the end a epic cut scene is played where thrall kill the big evil guy. really? He wasn’t even with me in the raid it was me and my guildies but thrall, Maarad, all these NPC takes the credit and best part thrall don’t even know i exist.

in GW 2 I am a commander, I am the part of an awesome unified team who chats,who argues and also asks opinions, I have a voice, I have suggestion an even choices to make.

people have complained about Zhaitan,but on a practical level that’s a cool fight Zojja rips the tail of Zaithan and make the beast loose balance to fly next fry its wings so it falls and clings to a falling rubble now shoot.

Anet thanks a lot for this epic story, even single player games fails to deliver this epic story progression, and hope in future content also you will make my character relevant to the main story of tyria.

good luck in all future projects, keep making these epic stories

Now you nerfd hero point tomorrow you will nerf the whole game.

This is quite a leap. Did you need updraft for it or just the usual gliding to get that far?

they removed Poison mstery for HP in vines, now just walk over and commune with em.

Teofa Tsavo.9863:

Yesterday you told Anet they were “impeccable” for the decisions they made. Today, the same people make a decision and you seem less enthused in your effusive praise.

Fickle much? You honestly think they pushed a fix this fast over just forums? I am sure their internal metrics were showing they had to do something… and put people to work on the fix long before the forum Drama got so intense.

They have stonewalled far more outcry for months at a time. Loot Issues threads and Megamerger come to mind.

i dint say anything yesterday,i have always praised Anet for the difficulty, but people are constantly asking for nerfs they need to adapt instead of whining.

but what to do

VaLee.5102:

To begin with, this is not a discussion about masteries or hero points, but the expansion as a whole.

We all know there was a large group of people who were asking for challenging content in GW2, and I was one of them. But I think the way they implemented in HoT was something like “They want hard content? We will give them hard content! YOLO!”.

You don’t make a whole expansion cattered just for the a certain group of people, there needs to be a balance. There were other MMOs that went full hardcore and we all know how they ended.
Now you got the situation where the more casual of the players (which are quite a lot) are uttermost frustrated and are not enjoying the content.

They could’ve left the meta events in the maps and raids as challeging content, while leaving the general maps accessible for those who are just interested in exploring, gathering, doing little events, etc. That way you would please both groups of players.
Adventures are a good example of content done right, you have the Bronze tier pretty much accessible to anyone, while the Gold tiers will probably be done by those who want a challenge.

I don’t think any of the hardcore players really enjoy random packs of elite mobs placed everywhere for no reason either.
The new maps feel like Orr on release, with more leaves. And we all know how Orr ended up, even now after the nerf, the only people who go there are the ones doing the Cursed Shore train and the ones going for map completion.

And please think about this in general, do not mindlessy reply, do you think releasing an expansion designed to a single target audience is good for the game in the long run?
Do you think the casual players will quit the expansion maps after the hype is gone? And if yes, how will that affect the game in those areas?

Keep in mind that a lot of the casual players cannot afford to improve, they have limited gameplay time, real life responsabilities, etc and they just want to relax a couple of hours a week for example.

this expansion don’t throw any unfair difficulty,you die because either you don’t know CC, or dodge or moving and positioning you have to learn what ever happens and within one month your hands will adapt so please cut the crap.

you die cz of your own shorcomings.

Anet please enough Enough of this. every thing was perfect how much you are going to nerf this game.

Now you nerfd hero point tomorrow you will nerf the whole game.

what is the point of masteries now,the aim was to master the jungle and using these new learned skill we survive and flourish but why the hell do you remove poison vine master for HP and also all the champs have become easy to 2 man it now. which you never mentioned in the Patch notes.

We are fighting a elder dragon which is superior than anything else then why did you remove poison mastery.

if people are getting hindered its their problem, you didn’t raise level cap, you didn’t raise ilevel then why to rush through all the content? why do people need everything on day one?

now people are asking to remove event participation WTF srsly so every one can AFK and et credits propel are complaining because they die to veterans when escorting jasmina.

but srsly? the expansion don’t throw any unfair fight we all die because of our own shortcomings.

Anet please stop please stop people will learn over a time why to reduce your game to some face roll casual pile of kitten?

Forum: we forced Anet to nerf elite spec unlock, we forced Anet to nerf hero challanges and we forced Anet to nerf mastery gate. Now let’s just complain until Anet nerf the difficulty.

NO!!!

And they force Anet to ruin the balance of profession because the only class that is balance is their class and every class is OP.

when did HP got nerf? really god consume these casuals and noobs, oh god I am done here.

so many whiners who cant play and has low skill level.

you need to Git Gud thats it, in curse shore also you can run past mobs,if you are dying and have very low skill level is not Anet problem

guess son got use to the face roll content in old days, learn to CC enemies and still having problems then get a new gear set with toughness. slot CC abilities instead of all damge Utility skills, learn to adapt.

I am pretty sure you haven even dared to go to the depths of the jungle lol, you will never come back

instead of whining go play and get improved.

may pocket raptors consume you soul into the endless abyss whiner

fireflyry.7023:

Just stating what you like about HoT would have more impact and relevance, at least to me.

Not sure why so many players are unable to do this without also having to attempt invalidation of the concerns of other players at the same time. Whats so hard about simply stating what you like?

this video is the start and it will spread like cancer and whole players will follow this and finally get burned out.

Anet has done so many interesting things to make game very engaging, but half player base is grinding mindlessly to get Masteries and Elite spec on day one.

and later complain they want more content and GW 2 has no end game.

I am so far loving Elite specs and hero point.

please for god sake don’t nerf Hero points its perfect the way it is,the only complain i hear is it cant be soloed, why solo anyways? its an MMORPG you gotta group up and timer provides extra challenge and makes people get and learn good combat.

Elite specs are so great i finally have something to work for best progression system which rewards my past hard works.

so far very good progression system, please at least in next expansion add War Axe for warriors and make anew spec.

lagrangewei.8516:

if i want to play WoW, i will play WoW. i have no interest in playing GW2 as a buggy version of WoW.

despite grinding being a problem is however not the main problem with HoT, what is the problem is the tons of game breaking bugs, crashes and reset. have you tried testing guild hall with a 100 people? the instance will crash! we did the guild hall mission dozen of times before enough people give up and the instance finally stop crashing! pls focus on fixing game breaker before you mess up more stuff in a buggy game. only then adjust the grinding because it is not healthy.

name an MMO expansion without buggy launch.

all the things in HOT is perfect.
…

I guess you never heard of something called “being objective”. I can understand you being happy with HOT, but to say everything in HOT is perfect … wow.

its my opinion, you have your owns

GW 2 is advertised as a no quest , no objective game you want to be a scholar of tyrian lore you can, you want to be a healer you can, you want to be a corporate merchant you can. you want to be a person who can be a expert on fighting undead by reading inscription and books you can that also.

its up to you, if your objective is grind mindlessly using 1 then you Can that also.

but if you wanna read ancient runes, learn language, kill hardest bosses, reach 100 % security level, do story instances again and get all achievements , get gold in all adventures you can do that also.

you are the objective not the game.

Ignorance is bliss.

i think you are ignoring half content and sitting and grinding and saying “this Expansion sucks” “GW 2 has no endgame”

I’ve said neither of those things and I’m not grinding. I am sitting, though. Well done, 1/4 of your assumptions were spot on!

thanks, i knew it

Mayga.7241:

So, until HOT it was not a MMORPG?

I had a guild, I had banners, I had the opportunity to communicate with people when I want. I was not forced to do it for some buffs.
I deliberately chose GW2, when I left WoW after 8 years played. I played in my own big top guild, I have a lot of raids, I was raid leader. After that, I spent two years playing GW2 the way I really want and I was happy as never before in any mmo. Anet was told – “play as you want” and it was true. Now they took my opportunities and gave nothing in return.
I’m tired of raids and big guilds. And now I violently shoved into a clone of WoW? Again?

yup better go back to a SP game you didn’t learn your lesson even after 8 years?

people wont fill feed backs to these, but jus sit and whine and ask for nerfs, really pathetic

do you go to an exam unprepared?
do you revise chapter over and over its not a grind?

you don’t want poison resistance? tribal local assistance? its about mastering the Jungle man.

GW series is not about grind gear, and toppling bosses sorry,then WOW and FFXIV is for you.

GW series has always been story, and the journey its not for players who token grind and just sit

Did you and I play the same game these past 3 years? Cause i remember leveling one char, using it then (in my frustration with world completions) crafting my alts to max… Was that a journey? Cause it felt like a chore that needed to get done before I really got into the game (a chore isnt necessarily a bad thing, I chose it cause thats how I wanted to play, not how ANet told me to play)

if you if felt its not my problem for me its all about the journey, do you even know what the inscription reads in each temples in Arah ? do you even know where is it even?
you just went to these maps and just grinded ,it not mine or Anets problem, options are there an majority of GW 2 players are also lore and story oriented and clearly you haven’t played GW 1 also.
sorry you do it like a chore, i explore, read stuff and experience the beautiful tyria so sorry to see you missing these.
nobody can spoon feed you

nor you man, and don’t expect any nerfs

you don’t need to stay with people for a life time its hardly a 10 in group after that split up and go in your own ways you dont need to marry any one just have to put a LFG and Link the WP.

all events you can solo and move along with the train, so the how do these people do dungeons and raids? if not wanting to group. but worse part your casuals want all the loot and shiny stuff who other players earned through hardwork but cant get self improved instead whine for nerfs.

Casuals dont like hard content then don’t do it, please stop asking for nerf and making the game good for nothing if you need something work for it or get a carry or git gud

why do mastery points anyways ? why do you need to rush ? cz you any way don’t have skill to beat high level bosses, get into groups for raids or do dungeons solo so why are you hurrying and still complain do it at your own pace.

do you go to an exam unprepared?
do you revise chapter over and over its not a grind?

you don’t want poison resistance? tribal local assistance? its about mastering the Jungle man.

allow me to start with a quote in end you will understand.

Brilliant work guys, awesome just beyond words.

Best launch in century,i didn’t even know an expansion released it was so smooth.

Awesome epic map

maps are huge,urges and call you to explore,loads of treasures, rare spawns, and every nook and cranny is riddled with content and secretes and Awesome beautiful vistas why our planet earth is not like this?

Animation and creature team really well done,the nuhoc fatty’s lick their lips kitten that’s epic, awesome creature design all creatures have mechanics and fight each of em is a real learning experience, i yesterday practiced and mastered Bristle back fighting techniques and that too veterans.

please for gods sake don’t nerf enemies i say you can harden them up a bit more.

great decision that HP are not solo able, i made a couple of friends due to this, we voice chatted and hunted and explore together its so great to meet people from vast varieties of cultures, talk and get HP and killing mobs. man so many great people out there.

epic music

now please don’t change anything,everything is the way i want and its epic thanks a lot for this wonderful product.

I always knew Anet is a bunch of creative minds who is daring and got back bones of steel and are willing to try new and creative things rather than going in the generic way.

I know you guys have been hit with many negative feed backs on GW 2 vanilla but i think there you did a massive epic job and showing the world there are still things which can be done differently with epic entertainment.

this game is a MMORG (massively mutiplayer online role playing game)

hence you are supposed to socialize, talk, chat, voice chat and make friends, MMOS are not for introvert or solo players.

you gotta talk to people, make contacts, otherwise you can even raid, use LFG to make a exploration party

so sorry you can leave.

all the things in HOT is perfect.

you have created a world with full of secrets, heavy exploration challenging mobs, treasure chest and cool NPC with funny and awesome writing. and i dont want to mention how awesome the exalted carving writing is.

people complaining about masteries need nerf and need more XP is complete wrong, they will get used to it after one month and everything will settle down.

look at this

Anet never stated you have to play like this i know you devs intend players to explore, talk,socialize, create community and defeat awesome bosses.

but these players are spreading rumors saying this is the way Masteries has to be gained. your game has a policy of play how you like.

so please don’t take care of any suggestion given till now about the grind as this the situation and these players are spreading rumors and converting more players and ultimately whole community is burned out so for these players don’t nerf your awesome game.

the Expansion is awesome and perfect doesn’t require any changes.

so Colin i urge you to disregard these post on saying the game is grindy because its the mistake of players choosing it to make it grindy not the fault of devs and you never told we need all masteries on day one.

Colin for god sake dont nerf anything the game is perfect.

Thank you for a wonderful product Arenanet i have been playing from launch GW 2 is really Awesome I really feel this is the best mmo out there all the best the living story kind of less meaty still i love the system its so simple at the same time imerssive

its really a revolutionary game and helped people to use skill and movement than spamming button at the same time got us out of the holy trinity

Thank You

the light armor on charr really looks pathetic all the armors leggings form like a skirt except the tier 2 cultural

it would be nice to see charr elemetelist and mesmers wearing long leggings like that of a tier t 2 cultural it cab look way better hope arenanet will do something about it

i think Anet has less love for engineers wish they change the skillset and animation for rifle and make more of a long range and rather than firing from hip through the scope would do far better with the predator it looks so out of place while using

hope Anet is listening

i feel the alpine wolf is too small it looks like a small cat will ther be any skins which make the pets physically bigger or are you guys planning on growing pets as in description its written the Alpine wolf grows in full size it srerally disappoitin to c wolfs and bears i such small sizes wil there be any updates for this and there shoulfd be a system where the pets size scale according to the charrecter race size just the pet not the whole animal race pl plz plz do some thing about it plz coz pets don seem so intimidating and fierce except garm

first of all thank u guys for making an amazing game love u guys recently i played a ele after 1 yr but wen i used obsidian armor it was kind it was very disappointing the whole body of my character just turned grey dats it but if u guys could make an animation like a rock layers enveloping in body it would have been gr8, plz plz like rock armor in dragon age 2 i know u guys are improving the game a lot but these small details really add to the immersion plz plz try it and also it would have been gr8 when we find a poi we get a codex entry like the shards of war i would realy like to know the story behind it these are some suggestion thnks a lot arena net rocks
