Guild Wars 2

I bet if we took a toll to see if HoT failed there are less fan boys than the people that actually know it failed. Which means it failed basically! Now you guys do the math and figure out how many free to play people it takes to keep 1 server running then tell me that the fan boys alone can keep the servers going. Fewer players equals less money equals more server merges and eventually a game of all fan boys saying nothings wrong. Five years later the fan boys are dancing in Lions Arch with barely anyone else playing but they look good LOL. Go to GW1 the fan boys are still dancing in the towns in that game LMAO.

Get use it the drops have only gotten worse the longer the game has been out. It’s how they keep people soaked for so long.

Maguuma is dead because there nothing to do and the event rewards well they just suck. I log into Destiny and Wow and completely skip over this game. Maybe if it was worth Logging in and staying people might actually do that but with the rng god and playing for two years with no precursor drop people got better things to do then waste the years away.

Mounts won’t save it, not listening to the fan boys will save it if not well look at the ghost town maps already. Crafting is horrible, crafting ascended is just nasty the worst I have seen in any mmo. The fan boys will say its fine and more people will leave and the ghost town gets worse. Diminishing returns is just stupid in this game and the rng we won’t even go there. This game is a lost cause unless Anet address the peoples concerns that are leaving instead of the fan boys.

Your beating a dead horse that’s already been beat. They don’t care and on top of that HoT was worth 19.99 at best. HoT killed GW2 the fan boys will tell you it didn’t, but it did and Anet still listens to them until the game is completely dead. Everyone have a happy holiday.

Bad expansion plus even worse Rng is what is killing this game.

I would refund this expac now if I could and wait for it to go to 15 bucks, that’s what it is worth atm. You will not get into a raid unless you are in full ascended gear thanks to the gear treadmill they praised against so much, but happened. Most of the time you can’t find enough people to do the events on the new Hot maps and good luck with the champs.

Have you played other games or are you just miming what others say?

In other games getting top tier gear usually takes just as long to get as ascended, and even if its slightly less work, pretty much all the other games will force you to do it all over again every few months or so.

I can actually get top tier gear in wow in about 1 week a full set of 710 gear. It’s actually quite easy to do. This game haha it takes quite a while to get full ascended endless hours of grinding. Imagine if you could only play 12 hours a week, how long would it take to get full ascended gear and weapons for the raid?? I am betting about 8 months or longer minus the trinkets and rings from the laurel vendor which still takes time to build the laurels up.

I hated silver wastes it was boring and grindy the bad kind of grindy running in circles over and over for chests or map hoping to win Silver wastes for chests. Nothing good ever came from the chests just garbage.

They still have no character slot for 49.99 version I will wait for the expansion to come down to 19.99 before I purchase it. I have put a 6 month game time on my long buried wow account until the price of the expansion comes down. Enjoying my shaman for the next 6 months if the price still hasn’t changed, I will purchase Legion and wait longer.

I won’t buy HoT unless I get a character slot, secondly I will not pay 49.99 for any xpac good luck on your sales lmao!!!!

I have been playing for a year and still have yet to see a precursor drop. The best thing they can do is make them not drops and make them craft-able only. Some people play for that chance of one dropping, but it has the worst drop rate of any gear in any game I have played in my entire 20 years of gaming. I guess if you want fancy things in RL or Virtual worlds you have to be rich… I know a lot of people that stopped playing due to the loot nerfs.

Once again there is no PC on the market that can play a game that is not optimized and sustain good frames. You should never have to over clock a CPU to make a game run good. Do not build a computer for this game thinking its going to run good, this game is not optimized. Do not base your computers performance around this game go with numbers on tech forums for CPU performance and GPU performance. What else do you use your computer for, streaming, video editing ask yourself these question before you build.

I have an I7 haswell and my fps dips to about 25 to 26 in major wvw zergs, so most of these are false claims. You shouldn’t have to OC a chip to get stable frames, this means it is poorly optimized. Unfortunately Anet has to do what NCsoft says so Wildstar is more likely receiving the funds they could use for Xpacs and optimization for their game. Guild Wars 2 will never get optimized correctly and probably never receive a good expansion due to Ncsoft’s greed in wanting to make money off a monthly fee based game that’s gonna sink. Technical forums have already been in heavy debates about the optimization of GW2 for a while now. Until Anet wants to admit it is poorly optimized and do something about it, no hardware will ever make it better. I refuse to play wvw and I have an I7 because anything under 50 frames is complete garbage.

Holy trinity is the only way to go for mmo’s, keep the dodge system though it is good. GW2 had the right idea, but should have incorporated the holy trinity. Also mmo’s need expansions no way around it to be successful. Micro updates are not expansion!!!! Guild Wars 2 will not grow until changes are made, but may sustain itself if it stays the same. Legendaries will never be considered end game content…. Off topic a bit!!!!

Lol well I doubt you get 20-30 in a zerg I get 20-25 with maxed settings in a zerg on my I7 4770k. I guess 3 year old console fps is good now, I am confused lol. Did we lower the expectations of pc gaming to accommodate the poor optimization in Guild
Wars 2. Please post a screen shot of two 50 man zergs colliding at smc with 30fps.

This game is cpu heavy and barely uses 50 to 60 % of the gpu. The problem is it needs work it needs more optimization. The fanboys of Guild Wars will always say get better hardware, but thats simply not the case. I have the some of the best hardware and guess what the fps drops in this game are the worst I have ever witnessed. If Anet doesn’t optimize, this game will always run like garbage with huge frame drops etc… It has very little to do with the Gpu. I have played future mmo’s in beta and they run 100x smoother than this game. I loved Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 has a lot of potential, but only if they find the resources to fix the issues. Don’t spend time on these mini game updates spend time optimizing the game then spend time on an xpac. I suspect the problem lies with Ncsoft not wanting to come off the funds because they are to busy with spending the funds on Wildstar..

Amd users should stick to games written for Amd’s mantle for optimal performance. http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/mantle/pages/mantle.aspx.

Poorly optimized game is all anything under 60 FPS is unacceptable. My I7 4770K deserves better than 25 fps in a zerge and 38 to 45 fps in lions arch. Amd users its not better with an Intel processor remember anything under 60 fps is just unacceptable. Intel is top notch, but this game makes Intel look bad and makes Amd look horrible lol. I have stopped playing, so I can see my Intel shine in its wonderful glory in well optimized games. Also it gets tiring when the drop rate is constantly nerfed. I will tell you this do not upgrade for this game because there is nothing out there that will make the optimization better. RIP GW 2. If you want good pvp this game is not optimized enough to make it worth your time lag spikes can and do kill.

I quit playing this game due the incredibly horrid drop rate of the precursors. The only thing I had left was the precursor, also 2 more of my friends quit for the same reason. Now we play World of Warcraft again due to the balance we get in pvp and not have to worry about the horrid drop rates. I will play that until EQN comes out. RIP GW2!! Next time they might want to consider not nerfing the drop rates of items and crafting mats.

What you don’t realize is when people spend all this time and get a crap reward this boss fight will be dead in month no one will fight him again. Time=Money or in this case a superior reward. Maybe tokens to get some well designed gear and weapons instead of the crap skins that keep coming out. RNG rewards for a long fight that requires coordination will kill this boss fight watch and see.

LOL , so the ascended weapons you get are the crap skins from the new crafted ascended recipes. Definitely not worth the time or effort, not to mention repair bills from the horrible instant aoe skills because the servers can’t handle 100 people at once in the same spot. I will kill it once just to say i have killed it then never again after that lol.

Clarification: You need to get to the overflow within 10 minutes of the invasion starting or you will need to wait about 45 minutes for the next one to begin. Please tell me this is a joke?

Why would people waste there time on a world boss like Jormag 20 minutes for a yellow and some green and blue vendor trash. Champs didn’t kill world bosses the fact you can only loot them once a day killed world bosses. Champ boxes are the best thing that happened to this game yet. If they make champ bosses a daily watch the number of players decrease or simply go back to GW2 smoking gun WvW. You want players attentions give them rewards for their time. Why do you think people play wow and do the same raids over and over its the rewards they get.

Mags are Pro at bugging things and glitching things. They will help Anet fix all the bugs in the WvW.

so DPS?Fort Aspenwood, now you get to babysit me…lmmfao

I am sure Anet meant for people to be revived through what appears to be a wall or gate. Thanks for pointing this bug out.

Worst randomiser in the history of randomisers!! Oh well back to beta testing tasty games, cheers to the top #1 or skill 1 button pusher this week and good luck. Games are much more fun when there’s more than 1 button involved. )))))w

Don’t worry JQ you will be losing again next week to BG and SoR. Enjoy the victory while it lasts. In the meantime I am enjoying the loot bags keep em coming.

If your bored go pvp or try to solo dungeons. I find that more challenging then zerg diving. You could always roam in wvw instead of zerging that’s pretty fun most of the time.

I am just curious why some of the TC people had to glitch the gate at hills when it was almost down? I bet it was by accident though right.

Nice job placing that treb in your Citadel Mag and using it to treb Cragtop from an invulnerable area. I guess you have to resort to these type of things when you have that big a gap in numbers, eh.

Mag busy with the forums and not busy winning. Less talk more points!

Well now all the kitten talking Magummies do and they 6 v 2, two up levels and as soon the odds get even they run. Oh my wish I had swag like that!

This is not a normal camera angle anyone who has used a arrow cart knows.

Killing monsters, again you can only enjoy the game if play the way the game wants you too. Thanks for validating my point. Some people like killing creatures for loot, I did in wow for crafting and epics. I also did it in Guild Wars along with chest runs on my warrior and I found that very fun. If you could please tell me what there selling point was, since you seem to know why and how they want you play the game.

What you describe is known as grinding.

One of the main GW2 selling points was that there would be no grinding requirement. As in, grinding won’t get you as much stuff as regular gameplay. Or as in, you can avoid grinding completely to fully enjoy the game.

If you want to kill creatures for loot, you can do events. Some of them have a nice chest at the end. Do you expect to just kill a bunch of boars and receive tons of loot for that? kitten that WoW nonsense.

You can grind if you like, just don’t expect it to be as rewarding as the other stuff. That’s a good game design.

A good game design is forcing people to play the way you want them to. I know how this game is and its becoming more apparent with each patch. It will lose steam real fast forcing people to play a certain way. If legendaries go ascended then the game will be a gear grind and all that kitten will go out the window. Never mind you have to run fractals a lot to get ascended or grind the daily everyday to get ascended.

I just want to know, what the proper way to play is? I do events and get karma, “junk” and very little drops. I really enjoy killing things to try to get exotics, but with DR you can’t. The only thing I do now is log in do the daily and a few dragons and log out. Nothing left for me to do unless I can kill monsters without DR affecting me. I don’t like fractals or dungeons for that matter. The events are definitely not rewarding enough for me to waste my time doing. Jump puzzles are OK, but still not rewarding enough for me to do over and over again. WvW is fun, but since seeing players walk thru walls and teleport the whole team, I am done with that too. I am just curious as to how we are suppose to play this game to appease the RNG and DR Gods? Just randomly go from zone to zone doing random events?

I have this same issue, although it doesn’t happen all the time. It needs to be addressed, it is very discouraging to attack SM, keep, towers, and supply camps for x amount of minutes to receive 0 credit. There are a lot more people with this issue, I see them complaining all the time about it. Please address this.

DR affects all players and should only affect botters. I should be able to farm if I want to farm. If Anet didn’t want farming they should make runes of holding cost one gold max. They should drop how much it costs to make legendaries and make the drops easier to obtain. Cap the trading post on how much someone can list an item. This will stop farming which I doubt any of it will happen, so the best coarse of action is dropping the DR all together. Police the botters and gold spammers. I know people that have already stopped playing because of the DR. We players do not put the gold amounts on the items sold by the vendors Anet does. Some items costing 20 gold and if you played the game before 20 gold is not a walk in the park.
