Guild Wars 2

Max Payne, voted.

Voted for Dishonered. People should stop exaggrating, overrating GW2.

God Of Fissures.8627:

there is no fun way to make money in this game. it is all a repetitive grind.

I agree, plus to this, I do not want to run FoTM nor want to kitten up the Trading post. Hell, I think I’ll always stay poor.

Distaste.4801:

This patch addressed nothing that truly needed fixing.

Condition damage is still lackluster compared to Direct damage in both scaling and PvE viability. The limits on bleed stacks, poison/burn duration, etc is just downright dumb. When putting down a poison/burning field for others to use HURTS your damage you know some designer screwed up big.

Burst damage is still sky high. If you want skill to be involved in a fight this needs brought down so most fights last 15s-20s. Who thought 60%+ crit and 100%+ crit damage was a good idea?

Class bugs from beta still not fixed.

Certain classes in a state that is absolutely laughable and shouldn’t have been released like that.

Class base health and armor need rebalanced. There is no logical reason why some classes have 8k extra health and heavy armor and others don’t.

Trait system is still forcing players into traits/stats they won’t use or don’t want(huge reason some classes are in bad shape).

Healing scaling not even close to damage. I want to make a class that does tons of self healing but since heals scale so terribly it isn’t viable. I can get hit by a 20k burst but healing isn’t even close to that.

Traps in PvP show up as giant red circles…not much of a trap then is it?

They seriously need to get a team of at least 8 people together to work on classes and combat. Every single aspect of this game(PvE, SPvP, WvW) deals with classes and combat, it is a HUGE part of the game. How they thought only 2 people was smart is beyond my comprehension. I want to know where the developers from pre-launch that understood what MMO gamers wanted went to. This patch is like they looked at what people wanted and just went the opposite direction.

I am truly glad PlanetSide 2 comes out next week because at least I will have something to do while ArenaNet gets it’s act together.

You’re the man.

This thread is hardcore.

You don’t seem to know that you are whining more than the whiners. You are whining on someone whining, it’s called the chain of whining.

So asking a question is whining? o_O

The people you think that are whining are also questioning why this game is so kittening dependant on RNG

I’ll only be saying that I agree with the OP, got nothing else to say.

I preordered GW2 in 2012 for $60(?), and I’m still happy about that, it’s a huge game. Heart of Thorns is priced at $50 at the least, and I’m not planning to buy it unless the price is no longer a joke considering what it adds to the base game.

witcher was kick kitten too !

but gw2 is seriously a design feat, and a baby step into the future of fantasy mmo.

love the action gameplay in pvp, wvwvw and pve.
love the scale of the world.
challenging fights in some packed area / dungeons.

not perfect yet, but the beginning of a great voyage.

You’re just new in the game

You are right about the economy. But your solutions are terrible.

Hello everyone,

I’ve joined all the beta events, and been playing the game since the 25th of august. Played all the 6 professions out of 8.

So, you have to play with the same 5 skills, from lv1 to the rest of the game, and there is nothing you can do to strengthen your character, skills-wise. Traits don’t make a difference, since they are not skills, so please don’t tell me about it.

I’ll try to be positive, because I believe ArenaNet will be updating the game and changing stuff. I’ll just add things I dislike about the skills sytem, so please “Change with wisdom, but change.”

#You have to use the same 5 skills for the rest of the game, and you can’t even “level” them up. (And think of an Engineer that can only use two type of weapons)

#GW2 can be the only game that an end-game player uses the same skills as a lv1 player. I know you guys wanted to be unique, but this much of difference makes the game un-playable, and boring.

#It is ridiculous that a Ranger has to use greatswords, or a Mesmer “needs” to use dual-swords, or even a Guardian with a Staff, or an Elementalist with dual daggers, seriously? I’d be a Thief if I was going to use daggers to be effective in the game. Why would a Ranger use greatswords to be effective in PvE? Why do longbows suck so much?

Again, I know you guys wanted the game to be unique, but this is too much. And it is not wise to force a player to use an unreal weapon for their profession to be effective at what they do in the game.

Finally, I do not like the skills system, so does many others. Even if not as a player but a custumer, I hope you’ll look into this sometime soon. Because nobody is going to keep on playing the game even for a year. The game gets boring.

Thank you.

Galen Grey.4709:

And this is exactly why developers dont talk about every single step they make! Players just make it impossible!

So one time during the beta they share some technical details with the players, specifically saying the game was still CPU bound and they still had to work on that.

Naturally some players decided to take it as a permanent state of affars that never got fixed!

I bet that the game stopped being CPU bound by beta 2 when some graphical glitches started appearing such as textures disappearing and personally my frame rate doubled since that beta!

Jrunyon.3012:

as far as I’ve read, will only impact your progression IN THE ACTUAL DUNGEON.

Then what is the point of adding this as a new content? More than half of the player base dont do dungeons

I love the fact that the ones defending whatever ANet does are the same people.

Well, they might be working. But I’m sure as hell we are not going to get what other people did. Like 2 precursors from a chest.

Hey,

I’ll cut this short. I’ve been to the event from start, got dc’d before the boss was down and wasted 3 hours for nothing; sorry, I did not have fun at all. Sent a ticket just after the event was finished and been answered (or delayed would I say) to this day.

Today I’ve been told that I didn’t meet their requirements to receive the rewards that reminds me of a joke. I’d really like to know what the requirements was.

Anyways, here’s both the answer I got and a proof-like screenshot I got while I was in the event.

and the proof or sth,

Looria.8019:

The only actual replies you can find are to threads like “Hey Anet guys I love you and love this game.”…with reply “Hey player X we love you too thanks for your support, see u in game!”

This part.. I trully agree.

Most of MMOs are rng, why did you think GW2 would be different.

Did you really forget how they advertised this game? Overhyped everyone and overrated the whole thing?

An answer from a CC incoming

Now there will be players telling you not to play glass-cannon, these will be the same people telling you that you should play this game with your style. I know.

I pre-ordered Guild Wars 2 in 2012. Unless I am able to upgrade my account to HoT, I will not be paying $50 for this weak expansion that took 3 years to bring.

Stark.1350:

Because I want them sitting here, all day, talking with us about what it is they’re doing instead of actually doing it. They have a huge update coming out in 11 days for Wintersday – I IMAGINE they’re working on that.

And frankly, I’ve seen more dev posts on these forums than I have for WoW, EQ2 or any other MMO I’ve played.

The last HUGE patch they added had nothing useful, mate.

I DC’d just before the boss was killed. Still got no mails. I’ll just update my support ticket sent just after the event, waiting for an answer.

I agree, but something i’d like point out is that isn’t their first promise that was broken. The way they advertised this game, the whole thing was false*. Most notable one is the endless grind.

Mirta.5029:

1. The game is far from dying. Almost all servers are either full or high population

This depends on the server limits. You have no idea what you’re talking about. Nowadays high/full is like yesterday’s low.

I sadly agree, I log only for the daily at the moment. Hope this is not going to take long for them to fix this mess up.
