This isnt an MMO.

A case for the Holy Trinity.

It’s already proven that some sort holy trinity (roles) is the way to go in MMO land. I like the idea of a soft trinity. Too bad this won’t happen in gw2. This is simply because this game is far from being an MMO. It’s something unique, different, it’s something else, but not an MMO.

Why is this game called Guild Wars 2?

It’s kinda like when rockstar north decides to take out the car thefting from the Grand Theft Auto franchise. It’s stupid because it was one idea that made the game a succes.

Anet took out the guilds and wars…

Commander Chat

Posted by: Xephens.3217

Xephens.3217

also, any decent commander would be using a voip, seriously, in the heat of battle, do you want your commander to stop in order to type commands in chat?

Any decent commander should be able to type fast even during battle he should be able to move and type. Besides that should we always go for 3rd party solutions?

Having a giant message in the middle of the screen when in combat is a bad idea. However a different color for commander chat is a good idea. Maybe with an alert option wich plays a notification sound when something is really urgent.

Someone abusing the commander tag and options? just block and ignore the person. The community will take care of the troller.

But don’t worry, we won’t see any of our bright idea’s here on the forums ingame. Maybe if we could buy these options with gems we may seem them in the future.

So......where's the grind?

I’d rather have seen that you could buy them from tokens you’ve earned after completion of the new revamped worlds boss encounters together with some new dungeons. Instead of this amazing boring craft war.

Countless idea’s from the community on how to improve WvW.. But they choose to brainstorm around a table at the office and come up with a league system idea that never ever was mentioned by the community. Anet start listening to your WvW testers.

For the first time i like the living story (the queen pavallion)
Because i like to see hit numbers popping all over the place and seeing so much mobs going down. It’s almost a sport, pull as many mobs possible and try to hit them all.

The reward is like winning the lotery hoping for that ultimate prize.
I can do this for 2 hours straight and still have fun doing it.

What's up with the communitys impatience?

When the bus arrives i’ll get on that bus. I don’t let the people wait for me just because i forgot something, that’s my problem.

If you want to run a dungeon, you make sure you are at the entrance and you are set to go. Just like you would do at a bus station.

Aw, Boohoo.. You lost some points this week.

It’s only 1 incident atm so Anet isnt going to do anything. They will wait until match reset and if the issue still presist after reset they might look into it.

I hit lvl 80, what do I do now.

Greetings fellow thief fanatics. I’ve been making a serie about my adventures playing as a pistol/dagger thief. It’s not your average kill video montage where the thief person never seems to die. I’m trying to make something different.

10 minutes of trolling fun on the borderlands keeping them busy.

Suggestions or idea’s are welcome!

Plz Anet, look at the guys over at carbine studios. They are doing a awesome job on player/guild housing in Wildstar. It actually has a purpose having ur own crafting stations, a garden, from a 1 bedroom appartment to a huge mansion with ur own raid portal and much more usefull stuff in it.

I did noticed a minor difference in cof. However this was only running with zerkers as we downed more then before. I’ve done it a couple of times now with 2x zerker warriors 1 guard 1 mesmer 1 ele and we cleared p1 faster then go fully zerkers + mesmer because of the downing. Players thinking cof p1 farming with all zerkers is still the way to go are kinda stuck in their routine.

For a game with the word “Guild” in it, it lacks some serious guild features.

"Why are you following us?"

Posted by: Xephens.3217

The only valid reason groups dont want you to follow them is because the enemy can rally on your death. On the other hand let the enemy rally is something you shouldnt allow in the first place by finishing off downed players.

New Dailies

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Xephens.3217

Xephens.3217

How it should be:

1. Kill the <insert name> champion at location X
2. Complete the dynamic event <insert name> at location Y
3. Complete explorable path X in dungeon Y
4. Finish jumping puzzle X

I agree except for the explorable path thing. It takes too long in many cases. Especially if the team is not familiar with the dungeon. Not everyone has time to spend multiple hours online.

I used to be able to do the daily in 30 mins or so and then I could focus on things I enjoy doing. Forcing people to do an explorable path would consume more time than some people can dedicate to the game. Not to mention to some it’s likely to be spent on something that they do not enjoy.

I agree with the fact it could consume too much time if you put 4 objectives in a daily. Why can’t a daily be just one objective like clearing a dungeon, event or a JP?
Dailies should be an activity you could be doing, not something you should be doing.

Reach the highest point in Kessex Hills could be a daily objective if you ask me.

And don’t forget about the monthly achievement.. 30 jumping puzzles? This is how everyone completed that one.

Where is the JP in <…> google, port to closest waypoint, enterted the JP area and checked if it counted towards the monthly. Yep it did, repeat.

Complete 5 jumping puzzles would have been much better.

I agree, what is with this kitten about dailies having us play through different parts of the game. I don’t want to kill things! I like to sit in Lion’s Arch all day and play the TP. Why isn’t there a daily for listing 50 items!?

How dare you make a completely optional part of the game require me to do things that I don’t like to do!

This. Why should i kill mobs/veterans or gather mats in a tradingpost based game?

It’s not possible to pleasure everybody with just dailies. The only way i guess is to give every aspect of the game his own dailies with his own rewards.

Daily PvE → aurels
Daily PvP → glory
Daily WvW → badges
Daily Trading Post → TP Buffs
Daily Crafting → T6 Mats.

etc.

This way everyone can play the game like he wants to play it and still get his daily rewards without having to alter is playstyle.

Everybody happy!

How it is now..

1. Kill X amount of Y
2. Kill X amount of Y in a different way
3. Craft/collect/gather X amount of Y in 5 different ways!

= repetetive, grindy, no fun at all.

How it should be:

1. Kill the <insert name> champion at location X
2. Complete the dynamic event <insert name> at location Y
3. Complete explorable path X in dungeon Y
4. Finish jumping puzzle X

= forces players to group up and travel to certain areas. I’m already seeing people LFM Daily! to finish all the dailies at once with 1 group you formed in LA.

Too bad if you can’t finish a jumping puzzle because it’s too hard, maybe tomorrow there is a different daily without a JP or keep practicing. I don’t mind if its a bit more challeging, or i can’t complete a daily, tomorrow there is a new daily to try it again!

Is there a way of changing the guild name without shutting it down, losing all the influence, and start a new one?

The event started and after killing those harpy’s it said to me that this content was disabled. I waited a few minutes and after all dialogues were cleared i was able to interact with the catapult and got my vista.
