Guild Wars 2

Swagger.1459:

-Map completion packs, per character only.

-Sell laurels and various in-game currencies.

-VIP monthly sub with perks.

Hell no.

First expansion took them 3 years, I wish you luck in your waiting.

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.

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.

Max Payne, voted.

Yeah, and then they’ll change it back so the servers “look” full.

Democracy is the best game ever in the whole world.

New skills
New trait options (or remove trait system completelly and add something more complexed which gives us freedom of choice)

Norn for appearance, Human for armors

Gaile Gray.6028:

As everyone can see in this thread, the second distribution was made in the wee hours of the morning and many who were missing chests got them today. And yes, a few folks who earned a chest may not have gotten one yet, but we’ll take care of that. More info here (and my apologies for such a long post there).

How do you explain people who got to loot the chest before getting another reward by the mails for no reason?

Thanks

Veldan.4637:

I love GW2 because it cleared a few things up for me:

1) perfect MMO will never exist
2) a game with cash shop currency convertible to ingame currency isn’t worth playing
3) don’t believe everything that’s said in a pre launch hype, in fact, don’t believe anything of it

Fuz.5621:

…because there’s no vertical progression and no grind like every other mmo.

lol’d

I bet it was sarcasm. Plus I agree with you Veldan.

I love GW2 because there are tons of sheeps playing the game.

Cross.6437:

Make an alt and follow story paths you haven’t done before.

Not worth it, since you’ll still be grinding level to be able to do the quests. Storyline in this game is like 10% of the pve, sadly.

Ursan.7846:

I feel sorry for you, and don’t want to play devil’s advocate, but….

A screenshot like that doesn’t prove anything. I participated in the event, and completed it. I can easily have taken screenshots of me doing the event and claimed I got DC’d. Basically, that screenshot only proves that you participated. Not whether you DC’d or not.

Anet keeps track of lots of data. (Example of a player activity heat map: https://twitter.com/mkerstein/status/170659741574496256/photo/1/large). I tend to lean towards Anet when a player claims to have done something, because they, most of the time, have the data to prove things.

Of course this may not apply to you individually. But I suppose my main point is that screenshot is not a proof of anything.

I completely understand, but there is no other way for a player to prove anything. Though since they sent mails to the players who already got to loot the chest (doubled their reward for no reason) I think this isn’t much of an issue. Maybe they could see that I was there and disconnected by their so-called logs if they manually checked. The script basically failed, that is all.

My post is nothing personal, do not misunderstand.

Siphaed.9235:

Here’s what I can tell by looking at that photo you provided as your “proof”: You’re on an overflow very late in the evening and just about to hit that dreaded ‘Server Will Reset’. I know this by the quoted people in your chat log, even without a proper timer showing it on your map.

The events running late into the evening was a bug that wasn’t supposed to happen, nor properly run. The real event, the only proper one, started at 12pm PST (i.e. noon) and ended roughly 3 hrs later, depending on the server/overflow. That was the one-time event that was qualifying for rewards as well as the only one meant to happen, others later were bugs only.

The screenshot was taken at 23.56 GMT+2, go figure yourself. Maybe my computer is lying, who knows. Does it matter? Do you know what’s sad, people who already got to loot the chest had a mail with rewards sent. Which means double reward for them, none for us. This is like a joke.

PS. See the guys in my party? They’re my guild-mates who got to loot the chest.

This is a raw screenshot. If I were to photoshop anything I’d first start off with the chatbox.

ANet can’t deny you wasn’t there this time…

Far I see in their replies they said something isn’t right in the deliver of the boxes, just now:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/Karka-Chest-Distribution-merged/944512

Thank you, we’ll see what they’re gonna come with.

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.

their answer, http://i.imgur.com/b522Z.jpg

and the proof or sth,

It won’t lead anywhere since it’s not official

It isn’t unfair for others getting it, they got lucky.

It’s december, let’s say you sit on your butt christmas eve: Your brother gets a car from your parents. You get a new bike. Would you feel a bit butthurt or entitled to a better gift?

Horrible analogy. An intentional move by parents, not luck. You were probably a brat :P
This chest thing is more like everyone was given a free lottery ticket, everyone wins something, nice things at that. Some won the jackpot. So? it was all a gift sheesh. Some people are never happy.

This game was all about being equal, remember?

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.

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

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?

I’d prefer to have sidhe over sylvari, and charr? not very pretty.

You’ve answered your own question OP

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

Avatar.1923:

well, if repeating pve is your fun. allright.

otherwise pvp / wvwvw, will hopefuly get some love and this game will rock even more.

I told you that you were new.. you’ll soon be repeating everything over and over again. Mind you

Avatar.1923:

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

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

Mirta and Galen the “Gray” Knight is here! RUN!!11!!!1!

This can be an indication http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gaile_Gray

I am sure Galen derived his name from here.

AHAHAHA, that is legendary.

Mirta and Galen the “Gray” Knight is here! RUN!!11!!!1!

Martin Kerstein.3071:

While we are indeed a wholly-owned subsidiary of Korea-based NCsoft Corporation (read NCsoft HQ), we are also our own entity. ArenaNet has not been affected by the NCwest realignment. And indeed, we are hiring: http://www.arena.net/jobs/

Then why the job pages are linked to ncsoft?

Mirta.5029:

to all of those that think that GW1 is better – GW1 servers were never closed. Advertise it to your friends, play it, keep it alive and hopefully it will survive for many years to come. I will attempt to do the same with Guild Wars 2. I’m not going to abandon it. I’m going to have fun in it and hope that it survives for many years to come. Everybody wins this way

Mirta, you’re the same everywhere, same White Knight everywhere.

An answer from a CC incoming

You’re voicing all our opinions Veldan, thanks. Hope anet will hear us out.

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!

Placebo

Thank you @Ursan, waiting for it

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.

17 days, nothing has been done

Zaxares.5419:

considering you could simply earn gold in-game

goodluck with that

JaironKalach.4938:

Um… Yes… That’s exactly the job of a forum moderator. Best of my knowledge, that’s the job of forum moderator on every forum that ever existed. They exist to try to keep conversation civil. They are not spokespeople.

I can accept this. Then tell me where the “spokespeople” are?

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.

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.

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

You have never thought of the consequences OP, this is a bad idea.

CC Meinke.2749:

The thread name was edited and the OP was infracted to let him know about that.
It didn’t have any consequences to the account.

Please stop discussing the moderation and speculating about reasons for infractions, it’s only of the concern of the user who got it. He could have asked the moderators/ CCs why he got infracted. The reason is described in the infraction, too!

Posts regarding the moderation will be removed from this thread.

Mhenlu.8970:

Apparently you are not allowed to use Anet, ArenaNet, or variations thereof, as they see it as a “call out”.

This is true. Please read the code of conduct, maybe it will clearify things before you complain about the moderation and/ or insult the community team. Thank you. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/rules

Greetings

I love the way you communicate with people. Take this as a compliment please. You ask people to be constructive and all I see you guys do is just show them the door and not answer any of their questions. There are (and were) many constructive topics and none of them had any dev answer.

Greetings

Don’t ask A-net, they can’t do much without NCsoft’s permission.

I’m with you OP, BUT;

I believe that nothing has to be REDUCED, instead some things must be RAISED in this game. Everything is already nerfed/reduced enough.
