Why is it that you get warning messages if you post anything negative about the game, yet when people totally insult other people for not being able to do this event, apparently that is just fine.
You get this every time. The people bragging about how great they are. More likely its how overpowered their class most likely is.
These events they add anymore are just confusing. Is this supposed to be our personal storyline quests?
I don’t play much anymore but we just got some in-game mail not long ago telling us to go to some area but it won’t even let me go to that area, unless that is due to me not finishing the first storyline which requires a group to finish? If so, then my storyline will never advance.
I never have liked the events in this game. Everything has to be so cryptic.
There is no reward to playing the game, in my opinion. The only “reward” comes from using real money to buy something in the game store. Other items in the auction hall are just way overpriced and unaffordable. Only vendor trash drops from mobs.
Its not like I have gone to another game either, but I rarely play anymore. I tried Elder Scrolls, but gave up on the beta after spending an hour creating my character, only for my character to not look anything like what I created soon as I entered the game.
The whole thing is just bug ridden something awful. Not only do they not drop any loot, running over the colored circles rarely gives you credit for the color.
This is just typical of all the events in this game.
I haven’t played much the past couple months due to non game related problems. But seeing that they are selling a “Lifetime pass” to the ship means they most likely will never bring Lions Arch back.
This game has become way to centered around the stupid store. Its going to end up being the Achilles heel that destroys this game. I’ve already seen it happen to LOTRO.
Its hard to get motivated to play this game when they ONLY true rewards are those you buy from the store. All mob drops anymore are worthless vendor trash. They also destroyed one of the dragons.
They are making a huge mistake by centering so much around the stupid store. Its so bad now that nothing drops off mobs anymore that is even worth wearing.
The whole reason the original Everquest game was called Evercrack was due to the addiction the game caused by your desire to aquire unique items off ANY mob. GW2 on the other hand has EVERYTHING new, as something you have to use money to buy in the stupid store. There is no true reward to playing GW2… its a cash shop.
Its the same logic they have when they one shot kill you.
My bet is they will delete my post here. The website is 100% biased, as they delete the negative posts. I’m going to have to start posting on Reddit, at least your posts are not deleted there.
This event reminds me of the days of Everquest 1, where you had to literally wait half an hour for a boat ride that took another 20 minutes. Or an hour long corpse run.
I made it through this stupid maze once, but since I made another key I tried to go back up again. Its not fun in the slightest. Its a huge waste of time, and the reward for it all is incredibly lame.
Its not fun to have to restart a maze that takes forever to do as it is, just because you died in an overly aggressive zone.
This is typical of everything that is happening in this game anymore. The majority dislike something, yet the few posters who always defend Arenanet, always get their way. They are always the ones saying don’t change this, or make this permanent. The very people who are going to ruin this game.
The storyline clockwork fights were FAR more fun than this dragon. This dragon is nothing but griefing players. You can’t even stand around without being insta-killed by those green fish head sticking out of the ground. And why does the sky get sunny/brighter soon as the dragon appears, shouldn’t it be the other way around?
Just because Arenanet or someone posts here claiming their server defeated it, doesn’t make it true. They are most likely just saying that to get people to stop complaining about it.
The difficulty definitely needs to be lowered. Its typical of everything they do, whenever they change something, its to the extreme. There is no middle ground with Arenanet.
You can mark my words, if they leave it like it is, eventually people will just not even do the event anymore and the zone will become a ghost town.
95% of your time is spent reviving others ( not even talking about people who are dead).
I have had fun, but only when it lets me play on the overflow server. Lately it was letting me play on the overflow. Tonight its back to not letting you play on the overflow server. So I logged off.
It won’t even let you trakitten, you have to type in its full name in order to delete it, as if its some kind of super high end armor or something. Its annoying.
Personally I think they put all this stuff in the game to take up inventory space, just to get you to buy more space.
They have literally ruined this event by their stupid overflow nonsense that doesn’t let you play in the event due to being on the overflow server. Its become a complete joke.
Its also been days since I last was able to even do one of the events.
Either make it so the overflow has the same events, or spread the events around the entire map, not just zones, at the same time.
I look less and less forward to their “events” anymore. I end up logging out immediately and playing another game, instead of wasting my time standing around for an opening.
I shouldn’t even have to be posting this, but the special events should also happen on the overflow servers. Its not fair to everyone who gets stuck on an overflow server not be able to do the event. Just have the events happen at the same time as the regular server.
I know they would deny it, but I would bet heavily that this whole election thing was fixed in the first place. Due to the fact they have to plan what they are doing in this next patch, and they can’t have a person win and change everything at the last minute.
I would like to see some kind of Wardrobe locker or something where we can quickly switch to a different armor look, or set, instead of having to wear the same armor every day.
Not manually changing single items, but change the whole set in one click, and have a separate storage container for them.
I know that Lord Of The Rings Online has that feature (although I don’t play that game anymore).
I’m really getting annoyed with all the forced grouping in the special events. It just ruins the whole thing for people who don’t want to, or who don’t like grouping. They have no choice but to not do the event then.
For a game that supposedly is so based around scaling, this should not be happening.
I get the impression the game has fewer people playing. Most areas have no one in them. I haven’t been to the Cursed Shore area in a long time, but went there recently and quickly learned why so many hate that area now and no one is there. You would think they would realize this and fix it for the better, and stop nerfing everything.
The way this area has turned out, I don’t care to see it again. No one is even in the area anymore, with the zillion one shot Karka standing around and who never leave. I end up just exiting the zone and the game.
I agree with the poster of this thread. Its like this game is being run by totally different people than when the game first came out. I honestly think it is.
I haven’t played much anymore, but I have noticed the lack of loot, in order to make any money selling to a merchant. Its almost non existent anymore. I literally makes me not want to play this game again.
Its become one of those games where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, in terms of game wealth.
Most people who dislike this kiddy mini game, aren’t going to be reading this forum and the biased poll. I haven’t even played this game since I last tried that stupid game. Its enough that it makes me want to quit for good.
Every holiday event anymore is a joke. Always requiring grouping, and always some stupid puzzle with toys as rewards. Next update will be a fantasy coloring book for all of you to enjoy… you know, for “Nostalgia’s” sake. Just because something is from the past doesn’t make it good or right.
Where are all the dynamic events this game was supposed to have been based off of? Instead of instanced zone mini games.
Edit: I recently started playing the Defiance game due to this. While not nearly as detailed a game as GW2 is, I’m having fun in it. An no stupid immature nonsense added in the game.
I am an adult and do not like this. I tried it just now, and it was as I figured. It was not even fun in the slightest.
But I see that some of the weapon skin rewards are pretty nice looking and would look good on an Asura. They need to make them available outside that mini game for the mature people who refuse to play something so childish.
But then again I always have been baffled as to why Minecraft is so popular. I have the exact same feelings about that game. I also never have liked the Mario brothers games, ever.
Next is Arenanet going to add checkbook software in the game, so we can do our finances? Thats how ridiculous it is.
Its more than a fps hit on the events, as I was still getting my typical 14fps for the event.
Its a server lag where people stop moving around. In fact the Tequatl dragon I just fought now pretty much stood in one spot the entire fight. Even casting skills was almost impossible.
That is not fun. Unless they change it back, I doubt I will play this game much.
It seems to be how Arenanet does things when they make changes, its to the extreme. Like when they nerf things, its to the extreme.
So is this limit a total for the day for ALL dragons? Or all events? Or is it for each individual mob?
I couldn’t even do the dragon tonight, due to being put on the overflow server for the zone, which has never happened to me before in that zone. That is just lame.
There is a lot of things I am not happy about since their last patch.
I was thinking this also. They promoted this game before it was released, about no grinding. Yet thats what its becoming. Doing the Refugee thing last night was driving me insane. Every time you complete one of the tasks, then the stupid thing increases, it goes from killing 30 mobs, to 60 mobs, to 100 mobs, and who knows what after that. Thats the worst kind of grind to have in any game. That is not fun.
The GW2 dev team seem to have a fixation with dailies now – and this is a trend that I find somewhat disturbing, especially for a game that was touted as “above all that”
We were promised something different – and yet here is A-net, encouraging people grind away for dumb rewards. Did the same dev team that made this manifesto ALSO make the game? ‘cause it’s like GW2 is suffering from massive bipolar disorder.
I’ll say it one more time: “Dailies” are not gameplay. There is no difference between having a quest NPC tell you to “kill 10 centaurs” and have a daily objective of “10 underwater kills” – THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE.
I don’t care that there are dailies. I get that a lot of people are into that… but the focus of GW2 (As stated in the manifesto) was something bigger, and deeper… So far I haven’t seen that. C’mon A-net – you can do better than this. This isn’t why a majority of us are playing GW2, or got into the series in the first place.
The Grenth fight is not skill based, its just basically the game cheating to defeat you. In fact I think they made it even harder than it recently was.
It drops you from the sky, you have no defense against it, and its instant death. Eventually people will stop doing the event completely. The person who wrote that event obviously is the game guy who made the Fire Elemental event in the newbie zone.
The loot is also horrible if you ever manage to defeat it.
I know I will not be buying any expansions until this bug is fixed, because it would just be a waste of my money. Its ridiculous. No other games that I play has this problem.
The guardians need more than one ranged weapon. The staff has way too short of a range to be considered ranged in my opinion. Personally I’m sick of using the same scepter all the time, its getting boring. Then you have them nerfing what few good things the Guardian did have. It takes fun out of the game.
I have been having this same problem also. It started a while ago, I forget exactly how long ago. Then for a couple weeks it was fine, now its doing it every time again. It may have started again after that last Winter event ended.
It happens every time when fighting dragons. I haven’t tried WvW.
I only assume its sound related because thats the first thing that goes out, then I crash. But the error log shows this for the last one (I didn’t paste it all, just this short error message)
