Guild Wars 2

I never played gw1 or gw2 at lunch. I started gw2 as a f2p player when hot was out after a month or so. I did level to 80 as a ranger and did all core maps and tought what a cool game it was and the expansion would make it better and so i bought it.
Hot maps felt grindy with the meta events but it felt like i was playing an mmo for the first time(better then world bosses wich i stoped doing soon after) and even rewarding. Everything i did in core maps seemed nothing but a level experience since i was alone most of times and hot maps with end fractals and raids where the only thing to keep me playing every day.
Then living world 3 story came out and bringed some maps where they killed meta events instead they add the daily hearts and this annoyed me much, but it was ok since i tought they where some filler and the expansion maps will bring back the metas like in hot. Instead the POF demo map is just a big empty map with nothing to do other then daily hearts and bountys chase. Like wtf, this expansion maps will be dead in months if they are like the living story maps. And this will happen only becuase they listen to people like you who can’t put a bit of effort in nothing and wants to play a mmo alone. So yeah i liked hot becuase of the replayability the metas offered and this expansion looks blank and kitten me that i preorder the expansion before i knew the details and kitten the people like you who made this expansion look like a gw1 copy instead of an improvement. Thx for bringing the unidentified kitten,only the worst companys implement this kind of system and thx for the simplicity and nothingness i will find in the new maps.

I just log in, to say one thing. The best thing about HOT maps was the replayability thx to the metas each map had. This map we got seems to not have any , instead feels like a core map(a queensdale instace) wich you do once and never come back. Anet if you really take this path the maps will be empty in a month or less and i will want my money back for the pre-purchase i made.
All the rest, like mounts, masteries, story, map design, specializiation(even if they are like the greatest thing ever) will be obsolete for me if there is no metas to do. So please, i hope you didn’t listen more to the feedback of those who left during hot(because map is to stresfull,too difficult, too much meta,it’s not core maps with hearts), instead you listen to the ones that kept playing the hot maps.

Probably all this ddos that hits multiple mmo games are done to bring awarness to net neutrality. The ones that ddos the servers want to say to the gaming community ‘’here take a sample of what internet will be after net neutrality is aproved since you didnt act’’.

Just my thoughts.

Every build with condi bomb apparantly …

As a casual wvw player with no guild on the current server, once i join EB instance and see no tag i will ask chat if there is any(maybe a public blue comm is defending home bl). If there is none i lose my interest and join the edge of the mists where most likely there will be a tag and i will have some fun there.
If you don’t like to command for large groups, then don’t tag at all. And if your guild is dead is probably becuase those responsible don’t even try to reclut new players inside the guild.

This episode was the best so far. The map looks fantastic and it is very complex like verdant brink wich i love, this really made me have more faith in the developers since i tought you will stick with silly boring maps after Hot.
The new mastery is really one of the best mastery we got after the gliding and it will be a waist if we see it only in this map or future ones. It would help a lot in the hot maps and in vanilla will be fun to use it.
Story was fun and the plot was real, but short like the other episodes.
I haven’t done all the events and i don’t know if there is a meta on the map, but it seems that it requieres less people to complete them. It would be better if the boss hp and difficulty scales with the number of players that partecipate, this will make the game even greater.
The only thing that i dislike is the new ’’legendary’’ torch. Just wtf are you guys thinking over there to make a cake a legendary weapon?? Enough with this joke of designes, this skin wouldn’t sell even on the black lion trade for less than 400gems so why make it a legendary where people litterily works in the game to farm all the mats to make one and we get this thing . Do you guys don’t have a bit of imagination to make something decent for a legendary ?
Also good job, the season 3 currency now can be deposited. I still hope to see the same for the hot keys and why not silverwaysted as well. Life hacks like this are well accepted by the community.
Thx very very much for the new episode and i expect much more in the future from anet. Also i will try to maintain my HYPEEEEEEE!!!!

What makes this game great to me is the possibility to get the best gear/rewards in the game doing whatever I want to, if I want to pvp and just do that for the rest of my life, I can. That’s why I came to Gw2, because I was tired of MUST make PVE to get my PVP armor in other games.

By putting Legendary Armor only obtainable after I clear a raid, I don’t need to explain why this is a huge mistake. I don’t matter to farm it 100x harder on pvp as long that I still can have it, as long the possibility still there. Players that makes raids MUST get it easier for SURE, but to me, what makes this game unique is everybody can have their legendary weapons doing anything they please.
Please, don’t tell the gamer what we should do, don’t make the other mmorpgs mistake, they are all falling. LET WE CHOOSE what we want to do, don’t FORCE us to do raids/dungeons.

I know elitists players will disagree but think about it, you are a pve exclusive player and the best gear is only avaliable through pvp, how would you feel?

Thanks.

If you are into pvp may i ask you why you need a legendary armor for ? If it was wvw i would understand, but PVP ? Also i remind you that most pve players that wanted the wings of ascension where forced to play pvp, so you can grind into raids if you want it so bad. And with raids you can get a free percursor, after we all need to grind more to make the others. In conclusion this post doesn’t make any sense, bye.

same with samarog, crashed the entire squad… Best patch so far.

Are you using the in-game ping notification? Because that doesn’t really tell ping, but how much time it takes to process the data and send it back.

Or, are you using something like ping-plotter?

I don’t use external device since there is no need to tell when the game runs smooth and when it freezes for seconds.

I remember a year ago playing every content that gw2 could offer me without any problem, from huge zerg fights to world bosses my ping was stable or sometimes a bit average (180-220ping). Now if i a zerg starts a fight in wvw i get 1400 ping even if the groups have low numbers (no zergz 50+) and world bosses are impossible for me to do anything other than auto attack since i get like 400+ ping and can’t tell when i have to dodge or else. I can play with normal (50-80)ping pvp ,fractals, dungeons and when i soloing in empty maps in pve, but as soon a large pack is near ping rise and when that pack starts to use skills the game is unplayable. When the wvw servers merged some time ago i decided to use that free server change, so from underworld i migrated to seaferer’s rest and only after some month i started to see this latency increase and also have stoped with wvw. I am starting to lose interest in the game since for me wvw now is impossible to play and same with the most important pve metas, what is the problem here can someone explain ?

After the ghosthly outfit came out in shop, my keybourd will paralyze from Esc button to Z. I really don’t know what causes the problem since i tried all but i know it’s not my laptop and i never had this issue before. Another reason i know it is gw2 main fault is becuase will happen only if i play on this game, the buttons will stop working and will stay like this for some random time. Even if i reset or shutdown pc will not turn to normal, i have to wait till it works again and if i play anything other than guild wars or even doing nothing at all the keyboard will not have this problem(played path of exile and borderlands 2 for weeks to prove it ).
I don’t know what to do anymore, it happens more often when i am in pvp becuase i have to press the buttons more frequently. Also i mentioned another huge bug 7 months ago, this one is a crash similar to blue screen but with black screen instead(and strange noises).This crash will happen only after i enter inside Stronghold of Ebonhawke, after a hard reset i have to move the character out from there using wp(the map ill be black) or else will crash again and this is frustating since i can’t make a single map completion. This bug is not like the keyboard one since this happend the first time i put step in there.
Someone help i really wanna play guild wars 2, the crash thing i can avoid by not going there but the keyboard one kills the game for me.

I don’t know how to say this without being toxic since i am angry as kitten, but in order to progress the story and enter inside the new map i have to unlock the new mastery wich i don’t have. Anet you have locked living story without advertising,so now i need to stay all night and repeat some adventures till i unlock the mastery points instead of playing the living story. I HATE THIS MINI JUMPING PUZzLES, this is why i stayed with 140 since i tought i would get some from this new episode. sigh

Yeah sure, let me find a guild for raiding on lfg. Requirements to get in guild 100li with tonic and eternal title. THX FOR THIS SUGESTION, NOW I NEED TO PUG TILL I FARM ALL THIS.

Artemis Thuras.8795:

I hope OP doesn’t take the venom in the replies personally.
I understand the frustrations, this is a very common complaint.

@OP, All I can suggest is have a few classes geared out, get to know what is roughly considered meta for runes/sigils. & read up on the encounters a bit, then try to figure out your role within a raid.
It is hard finding a group willing to take a noob through, especially on their first (sometimes only) run of a wing of the week. Keep in mind raids require you to pay attention much more than fotm or dungeons, and this ( along with knowing the mechanics) is where most people trip over at first.

unfortunately a lot of pugs try far to hard to run speed-clear style groups, rather than optimise for an easy kill.

I don’t know what time you’d be looking to raid so there isn’t much point me offering to help you with a group slot when we’re looking to fill out.

Feel free to drop me a pm here or in game if you’d like any help with getting ready for raiding.

edit/ps: Don’t think of raids as a grind. They aren’t really for gear progression like some other games. If you raid, do it because you enjoy the involved nature of the content.

Well thanks for the comment and i would really appreaciate some help to get into raids . I have a pve guild that does raids every saturday night, but they never killed the first boss vg or sloth, i tried the training group from lfg but they can’t even get to kill the first mini bosses in spirit vale, more of a time i was the one getting the lead since nowen had any info about it . Now i made a tempest full ascended with schollar runes, but what use it has if i cant find a group at all or at least to kill a single boss. I really don’t care about grinding raids, but important stuff is gated out from me and it doesn’t feel fair.

How can new players join the raid grind if they can’t even enter one for training? I have like 4months since i am playing this game and i did almost everything except Raids. With 7328 achievement points, diamond in season3, over 100rank in wvw and grinding every day the same fractals, dungeons and meta events now i want to try doing raids. But as i mentioned first newcomers are blocked out from raids becuase of the people in lfg that asks you to have 50+legendary insights, tonic, minis, Boss killproof, MULTI-CLASS, full ascended, restricted builds. LFG is full of commanaders like this, except times when i see the ones that are selling raids for 300gold or so and some times TRAINING. Today i joined an escort squad for wing 3 and comm didn’t care about asking LI or nothing else, we failed 2 times becuase the 2group incare for the cave failed but at 3th attempt we killed the boss and i got my first legendary insight, the problem is i need to make 49+ to play with the ‘’EXPERT squad’’. Best raiding experience i have ever done in a game so far. Oh the irony!

You guys need to understand i complain in the post about the premades i have on my side not the enemy one. I don’t care about enemy premades, i hate those premades on my team that keeps making me lose when i reach last pips for diamond to push me back. Now i started to spvp again after i got a break since last time i posted this thread and 3 games allready made me lose interest again and i will blame again the bad premades i was matched with. For example i lost a match having a thief diamond premade with some ele bunker emerald, they where bad but the thief was the worst thief i ever had to play with, even the enemy team started to point this out.

In my oppinion this game has the most horrible pvp balance and even worst matchup settings i have ever played, but the fact that i am punished to lose matches on porpuse to give me that 50/50 ratio, putting me togheter with the same players i had lost allready so many times but never that i was against them and then i get even some diamond players premading up with very low tier just to add more frustration to the match is beyond me. To think i have left league of legends to play this game in a competitive way and even bought the game just for the elitism makes me feel like a stupid. Enough said.

I have had enough to lose my matches becuase premades. I am a solo queuer player and the premades are the main reason of all my loses. Too many times i lost games becuase some players where very bad and enemy was godlike, at end i discovered they are premades: 1diamond with 1amber, 2amber with 1sapphire and one ruby, 1emerald with 1amber and 2diamonds and so on. To not mention the 4man guild premades and there is ME trying to do something with people that comes in ranked to do guild mission.

Guild premades are terrible and i allways hope i don’t have them on my side, if people like so much to do partys in ranked why they come as 4 or 3 and 2 players but not as five.
I hate anykind of premades and i speak only for ranked, because they make everything harder and some times impossible. I am in ruby and everytime i am close to get diamond i get into hordes of this premades that will result in having lose streaks of 4-6 matches and need to start over and over again.

If this is anet way to stop solo players from climbing ladder, i consider to never partecipate in spvp again.

I can’t get map completion, becuase when i go to Stronghold of Ebonhawke in Fields of ruin and stay there for more then 1min i will get a freeze screen and the pc will even do some strange noises. The only way for me is to shutdown the pc and when i am back in gw2 with the character in that place i need to waypoint out from there in seconds or else will happen again. Someone else experienced this problem ? Also it happens to all my characters once i go there.
