Guild Wars 2

Legendaries == content

The story/collection/grind is all content.

its equal to

PvP
WvWvW
PvE
Raids
Dungeons/Fractals

Legendaries might not appeal to some, but that is equally the case for all the other types of content.

If you don’t care for legendaries, so what?
There are people that don’t care for Living story.

Just think if they would scrap Living story, because they want to work on gemstore skins more.

How can you agree to them scrapping out promised content?

I just tried BDO and bought it.
Sorry Anet, I’m out,

As the #1 player on the recently added fractal leader boards I’d like to chime in and ask if we could change the new shortbow to shoot donkey’s with the ANUT symbol on their rear that fly out on cool glider skins and leave a trail of gems.

Perhaps I should suspend GW2 for some BDO as well.

And just think: if you wander off long enough, GW2’s 3rd ex-pac will come out and give you the second ex-pac for free .

Great point, I like the way you think.

Perhaps i should suspend GW2 for some BDO aswell.

Can’t describe how disappointed i am right now. I’m 2 days away from finishing astralaria, and was planning to make the new mace next.

I will say my opinion about this, every fan is entitled to bring his/her opinion to the table.

The living story should all have been part of the HoT expancion and should not have been release in a monthly or tri-monthly manner. People are under the impression that HoT didn’t deliver enough content or promises/balance or whatever they feel is lacking. If all the monthly or tri-monthly content was released in one gaint expancion package, this would not have been the case. I liked the way content was released in gw1, a whole new continent with tons of stuff to do and explore. Now HoTs feels like we got 4 maps (because we got dry top, silverwastes and karka island for free) and a bit of story. It might al have been different if those living stories where all included in the expancion. Perhaps the living story stretched the team so thin that it feels to people you didn’t deliver enough with the expancion. Don’t get me wrong. I do think you deliverd alot across the years, but i can see where the other players stand.

Now, my parents always taught me, you should finish what you started. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to finish the legendaries that you started working on already, or even keep working on some but on a longer release schedule. 6 months, a year, something like that. Having to deliver each 3 months might be a bit too crazy…

edit: I got a great idea. Because you can’t finish the 12 other legendaries that where promised for HoT, give all players a legendary ring with an effect you where planning for new shoulders (like nightfury or the snowglobe). It would be like vaseline … for the wound we are now suffering from.

Please take this into consideration.

5/10 barely

i’ve refused to preorder HoTs till all information was announced, i’ve refused to purchase it on release because i thought there was too much hype and the content would be lacking.

unlike most wining about not instantly unlocking elite spec, i could because unlike most i stocked up on skillpoints before they called it heropoints.

I hated what they did with living story season2. Lion’s arch is still kindergarden playground of happy happy joy joy.

Last weekend i finally gave in and its better then i expected in the story department, but the elite specs are a bit rediculous. The mastery system i hate the most. Why should i be forced to grind events to unlock masteries, especially the ones from kryta wich technically i’ve unlocked 100 times over considering i made multiple legendary weapons on a single character (wich took tons of experience since they required roughly 400 skillpoints (200 for stone and 200 more for clovers, yes i’ve had terrible luck with them) for a single one at the very least). I don’t want to grind experience by doing old content eventchains and world bosses that I already over grinded.

Dungeons being completely neglected as fractals is now the way to go. Fair enough, but i still don’t like high lvl fractals and its the only way to get my suggested difficulty level? well then i won’t play them i guess.

I’m betting i will quit the game again in 2 weeks because the new content will have gone stale.

There are some awesome ideas and the new maps are great. But the mandatory grind is killing it.

Grind Wars 2 … because there is nothing but grind left to do …

I will not pay a single cent if the whole list of content to be expected isn’t made public.

How many maps/zones/dungeons/profession-specialisations/armors/weapons will be included in this expancion.

How can anybody conclude that this price is right for the amount of content if its not even clear yet what is gonna be in the expancion.

Btw EoTN was kitten and made me quit gw1. Factions and Nightfall where awesome. Hope you don’t make the mistake wiht Hot from the get go.

My heart has turned to stone, like the dwarves of old.

ArenaNet, if you don’t change this anytime soon, you will feel the backlash of the great destroyer summoned by angry customers pretty soon.

OP, are you living in a country with a dictator or something? Ppl are allowed to expres their opinions in the democratic world.

So all of you here don’t have any problem of ArenaNet leaving bugs in the game for multiple months, effectively breaking progress for tons of ppl? Lets just prioritize new content and let ppl hang for a few months shall we?

Also when they announced gw2, they said: There will be no grinding in Guild Wars 2. But its nothing but grind and event chain map clear runs etc etc. They should have called it, no brain no skill grind wars.

I actually was glad they pulled a few more dragons out of there kitten s when there was only one destroyer in gw 1 and it was all hush hush about other dragons, yet it was clear there where more. I was hoping, YES we get to kill dragons in endgame. Sadly they will spread it over more predictable grindwars expancions.

And the lackluster GW2 end of zaithan. Worst ending EVAH.

Glad you guys are having fun. And i respect your opinions too, now lets agree to disagree about what we each want from the game.

Clearly i want challenge, and its not delivering. You probably want more grind, and i can’t be bothered with that.

I for one can’t blame the op. And the community of this game clearly isn’t any more comprehensive as the one of wow. It seems whenever you present your fans with an even bigger pile of dirt as the last time, they will even say it tastes better than last time. I bought every collector edition of gw and also laid down 180 bucks for the collectors edition of gw2. For this expansion, I’m willing to give 0. If the content is as stale as the living story content, yes even season 2 was sub-par, then it deserves no money from me at all. With a game where the only new weapons are just skins in the store and the only good thing is fractals 35+ I’m not going to invest in its future any longer. Good luck arenanet.

PS: no trolls, you can’t get my stuff either.

I’ve been logging for 3 weeks, every day, doing just one thing. Checking if this bug is fixed. Now i’ll just wait two weeks with logging in. If its still not fixed by then i’ll up it to 2 months, then 2 years, then 2 decenia. Its really up to this kittenty dev team that breaks more stuff then fix it, and never heard of version control tools where you can rollback and merge a the branches so you can kittening fix what wasn’t broken in the first place.

Sorry @community about the rage.
Not sorry @devs.

Thanks for the update on the situation.

Altough i can’t agree with the way this is being dealt with.
The easy fix would be to have the npc move to a different coordinate, preferably behind the portal. Now they just end right infront of it.

I would image those coordinates are stored in a database or a config file. But if a patch needs to be rolled out to fixe it, it must be hardcoded. What kind of amateur developers did you guys hire, if this is so hard to fix?

At the end of the day, you have to ask yourselves.
What is the better option?
Leave the bug that makes poeple be able to complete the achievement even after the story is done. But atleast the achievement is obtainable in te regular way aswell.
Or break the achievement for everybody and make them wait 2 weeks before its fixed, except for those that where able to obtain it day 1.

I’d expect a rollback in the source control isn’t hard at all. But it seems breaking the achievement was more important then fixing it.

Sorry, just need to vent my frustration, with the lack of proper content, there isn’t much else to do then get these stupid achievements and log off for 2 weeks. When will we see an actual new dungeon, with new story and paths? New non-gemstore obtainable armor and weapons?

Hope you are trollin.
I’d quit without a single bit of hesitation if that idea would be carried out.

Hire this guy. This guy gets it …. that is amazing.

Proposed a similar suggestion a few days ago. But it got shot down immediatly by greatsword haters.

I’d love for eternity to have its unique blade background, preferably the same as the footfall effect that it now has.

you are absolutely right on that last one…

Eternity is a half backed sword … its less special then Sunrise or Twilight … the effects are simply rushed and not finished for all skills.

Every other legendary is a nice blend of coherent effects.

Eternity is just a mix and matchup of two swords… making it less special than any of those two swords.

the new gem seems misplaced and the footfall is inconsistent with the blade.

but ye … some ppl play with low grafics … or are blind as hell

Hi,

With the recent update to Legendary effects and Eternity getting some love, I (and many others) finally made the step to merge my sunrise and twilight.

The new footfall effect is really nice, but … if feels inconsistent with how the blade looks during the day and during the night. I feel tricked for merging my two awesome swords to a half backed sword that has inconsistent effects.

There are no whirling swords during the Whirling Wrath skill of Guardian
I can’t choose what blade skin to show during day and night. Sunrise always shows during the day, while its actually more beautiful at night, and Twilight is nicest during the day.

Now my suggestion for this most insane legendary (its two legendaries in one so this should be somewhat more special then others) is that the user can choose wich skin in shown. Just like you can pick the stats on a legendary when out of combat.

And implement a 3rd skin for the blade itself (the same as the footfall to make it consistent)

So a choice of 3 footfall effects, 3 blade skins and 2 hilts would be imo the most ideal.

Its just a suggestion. It might never happen, because of priorities and resources, I’m well aware of that, but at this moment … the consistency of the legendary doesn’t make any sense to me. Footfall that looks like a solar system and then a blade with textures of clear sky or a dark starfield… its just weird and not finished imo.

Thanks. I feared as much.

Currently i see no way to search the items/recipes by name, unless i build my own item cache. To build the item cache myself i would need to send over 26000 (amount of items, excluding recipes) requests to get all the names for all the items. Or is there some other way?

If there is such a thing as item_names.json (the same way map_names.json works) it would be fairly easy and a whole lot faster to build a item cache, so users could search item by name.

Perhaps someone else already pointed this out or even found a better way to do it, but i couldn’t find it here on the forum.

Also including a way to fetch the item images and wiki link would be awesome.
I’ve already made my own module to add the wiki link to events and such, but if it could be included by the api right away that would be even more awesome.

Unless they change the skin of Eternity to something completely else then sunrise or twilight, it is currently completly pointless to even make Eternity.

Imho sunrise looks the best during nighttime and twilight looks the best during daytime. The footsteps are missing and i don’t think this will change. So i’d just keep Twilight and Sunrise as two seperate swords as you will only get a sword with inferior effects and its just one sword, you can never have enough swords hehe

This is the second time its empty. If its anything like 2 days ago, i won’t get a reward at all from the jumping puzzle for a whole day. I’m kinda frustraded as I was counting on this reward for karma towards my legendary (obsidian shards). (took the event into consideration for my legendary progress).

Guess i’ll have to wait a bit longer, grind a bit more …
