Guild Wars 2

Why not just have a 5 man only queue you could even make it a league for pvp guilds.

A sort of Guild War if you will…

I’m really not sure what this does in terms of creating balanced games.

Lets say a gold or above player goes inactive for a while now they’re bronze 1 that player hasn’t suddenly become worse in the time they’ve been away. You might be thinking well no problem then they’ll be able to climb out fairly quickly right and sure assuming they dominate they will but that doesn’t take into consideration the players they’re unfairly pushing back down and players they’re unfairly pushing up in the process.

My thoughts behind all this is that the divisions function like a kind of MMR if the wiki is to be believed so maybe I’m completely wrong. hopefully we can have an interesting discussion.

Decay doesn’t affect Matchmaking in the Slightest it just affects the Leaderboard status, it is used in conjunction with the Minimum matches requires to keep an active Pvp population.

Source?

Best advice is to kill things as you go along and not run through them. Raptors will eat you alive if you try. If you pull too many things you will die. Take it easy and learn each enemy and you will live.

I don’t think you understand the complaint.

… enemy spam

Just trying to do the personal story is ungodly painful trying to read dialog and getting ganked by 20 veterans, I honestly find nothing fun or redeeming about this expansion.

Why do PVP video always have such teenage angst music?

I would personally forgo the story to play as a bear man just say’in.

Because back porting Personal Story would be nigh impossible, time line continuity would be shot (its borderline broken with Revenant as is), and trying to use new zones wouldn’t work unless they automatically started at level 80…. which won’t happen for a myriad of reasons. From new player experience to gearing concerns.

Just do what WoW does, you unlock the race after hitting max level new races don’t need the all the personally story.

In order to bring in a new race, programmers have to go through and enter voices for each and every contact that character makes in the entire world.
.

not really, NPC babble is already non race specific.

I wanna play as a Kodan dang it!

The way people run dungeons right now is clearly not intended and is flat out boring.

Lets start with the issue most new players will face “kicked for not 80” using the LFG system it’s very rare to find a party that isn’t 80 only I know it’s not impossible to find a party but the fact is it’s an issue and it’s there.

But lets move on to my biggest gripe and why the dungeons are boring, This is how a dungeon will always go…

Run pasts all the mobs, hide in a corner, lose aggro, stack in a corner of the arena, pull the boss, kill the boss, rinse and repeat.

Consultations you win, hero of the galaxy!

This is so fundamentally broken it’s silly and that fact like this for so long is even more silly, what is the point of these huge arenas with bosses throwing traps all over that place if NONE OF IT CAN TOUCH YOU?

The current dungeon system can best be compared to “rock em sock em robots” it’s just two little robots facing off on each other and the winner is who ever can hit their buttons the fasted. :/

You’re not a Ranger if…

You’re an Engineer, you are in fact and Engineer.

It makes no sense that the skins you pay real money for are one time use yet the ones you get for free are unlimited.

it does make sense since it’s a consumable. Anet wouldn’t make any money if they would make that skin permanent. The moment they would do that, people would scream for account bound as well, since most permanent items in gw2 are marked as that. Do I think it’s a good idea? no but I can see why a company wouldn’t do that and I agree it shouldn’t be that way.

I do think it’s a good idea because then people might actually buy them. I’ve not once seen anyone using store bought cosmetics, might just be my experience.

Point one still stand guys.

Also $10.00 is not the same as £8.52

Also Also why does the UK pay the most for gems? wtf.

…for what they are

I want to give you my money I really do but the thought of paying £4.25 for an extra slot that only upgrades one character is sickening.

Skins, skins are outrageous I can’t believe you can charge £8.50 for a skin that is ONE TIME USE that you have to pay more money to reuse every time you change a piece of gear, no other game does this and for good reason, I’ve not once seen anyone use them either I can’t think why that might be.

Seriously though I understand that a subscription free game has to bring in money to run but this is so ridiculous no one I know is willing to buy, prices are too high, the rewards are too low.

Bump (15chaaaaaaaaaaar)

It won’t run at all on that.

The game is constantly losing focus of the mouse during game play making it almost unplayable. This has been an issue for so long and still hasn’t been fixed….

Wow that’s kittening greedy on anets part jesus.

So I want to make a new toon and buy an armor skin form the gem store and use it from lv1 to 80 but from asking around it would seem that every time I got a new piece of armor I would have to buy a transmutation stone/crystals just to keep using the skin I had already paid for, can someone confirm this to be the case because that is kittening ridiculous if true.

I really hope not, I plan to play this event to the fullest, but one time only achievements that no new comers and people who can’t attend will never be able to get again is just silly and discourages players to go for 100% complication overall, I’m hoping Anet will smart about this and implement the “feat of strength” system that wow use to avoid this issue.
