I have been waiting for a long time for the discount on shared inventory slots and planning to buy 3 × 5= 15 slots when they did. However, after Anet’s sudden change to the ascended shards vendor that wasted my 1200 shards, I started to look for another mmo so I am glad I haven’t bought those yet. If you are gonna buy the gems with real money I suggest you to wait, if you are buying your gems with gold then better start stocking from now as those gems keep getting more expensive constantly.
So if you read this and didnt spend your shards before the patch its basically just your fault. I mean, how explicit do they have to be in saying “better spend them now, it will get more expensive soon”?
So if Anet had posted that on a totally irrelevant website and a few people had seen it, would what Anet has done be still justified in your opinion? Or is it because you don’t care because you have seen that little forum post and now feel an urge to throw crap at people who were not lucky enough to stumble upon that forum thread or had more important things to do than scanning the forums all day?
Also many people think this new vendor system is slightly cheaper than the crafting. No it is not cheaper. Who on his right mind would try to farm ascended shards through pvp or relics through fractal just to get that little discount? I wouldn’t call those shards and relics free of charge.
When it comes to Anet; What you did is totally selfish and BS. If you decide to devaluate a currency of the players who pay your bills, at least give them a fair warning such as an in-game email or a post on the client. A lot of people actually waited your so-called balance patch to decide on which type of armor to use their ascended shards and they are all screwed now. To this day, I have played tens of mmos many of which had way more players than you do and are totally forgotten now. You know, the route you are taking lately remind me them.
Give your less fortunate players time until the next pvp season to spend their shards like pre-patch. Remember, they put the same effort and time into farming those shards as the people who justify what you did like the guy above just because he was able to spend his shards before this patch. Or keep making them feel like their rants only fall on deaf ears and accelerate your own demise.
Are devs aware of this bug? It prevents completion of Premier Season Veteran . At least say something about whether you are aware of it and will fix it or you are aware and dont give a kitten about it. We are still waiting for a fix. I will keep bumping this thread till a dev say something
I collected both halves of keys and entered the chest room but the chest doesn’t open and halves of keys remain in my inventory so I can’t get Garnet Leaper achievement either. I went to other borders and got chests and achievements no problem. Only Garnet leaper which is in Gandarra Border (Red border) is bugged. Then I logged in another character and collected keys again and the chest didnt open for the second character as well. I saw people reported this bug before but as usual no fix but this time it is preventing to complete season 1 achievements.
This is a bug at both Jumping puzzle and Dawn of the season. Please fix it before the season is over.
Basically, the game is unplayable. After waiting on the queue for hours to enter, I got disconnected twice from EB. I have played countless MMOs so far , even games of really small companies, but never seen such bad lagging game. We used to have lag only in EB middle counters when 2 or 3 really big zergs clashed there. Now even NPCs lag. You lag anywhere of the map eve if you are solo.
This is what happens when you bite off more than you can chew. Gw2 is not ready to handle seasons and all those achievement hunters with the junk servers it has. Invest on servers first then try to pull kitten.
To sum up, give me playable little content instead of unplayable big content.
I dont think this is elitism. This is preserving the hard core wvw player base. why didnt anyone call it elitism when Anet decided to give 500 AP to GW1 players giving an unfair advantage over other people on the rank list?
Sorry mate but if being high rank is being elite then you are not born elite, you work for it.
I have been waiting for 3 hours to enter wvw to no avail because of the new achievements. Yes I understand you are trying to revive wvw maps but while doing it, dont sacrifice the loyal wvw players. Any WvW player I know has been cursing the new achievements placed in wvw that lured the entire pve fans.
Please either totally remove the new achievements from wvw or while queuing, give priority to the people with high ranks which suggest that they have been there fighting for their server when no one else did.
Real wvw players have been trying to keep our server over a year on its feet fighting vs greatly outnumbering servers like viz or sfr while people were busy in queensdale champion train or scarlett events. Now we cant enter the maps because those people would like to get some achievement points now.
Wvw was one of the main reasons I still play this game and at this rate I am seriously considering to quit as I dont want to wait 5-6 h everyday to enter a map that might be lost through a mere disconnection.
Pve players or fanboys can flame all they want but remember when those achievement points are taken by pve players, those maps will be empty if the loyal wvw players are gone as well.
We were like 20 people helpless against 2-3 mesmers. Destroyed our rams in 1 hit, I was killed with 70k hits.
Look at the chat box on the ss to see the damage
First of all, some people just dont get it because they dont know all the aspects of the game they play. This has been a nerf because before the nerf you could get over 8500 karma per jug and now it is 6750 so go figure.
Second, karma is not useful? What do you smoke? it is useful a lot. You can get orrian jewelry box that have chance to drop lodestones. You can get armors, you need loads of it at legendary craft etc etc. So yes karma is useful otherwise remove from the game for good.
Finally, why are you trying to be a kitten and bug the people who are already frustrated over the loss of the karma they have been gathering patiently? In this case, If anet had 1 tenth of the eagerness while informing about the lame livingstory stuff beforehand, no one would be frustrated now.
Any person with an average brain hoarded jugs so that they can use when they at least pass 10k achievement to get the best from them.
Last but not least, you have no right to tell people when they can quit or not. A frustration is a frustration whether it is from lack of satisfaction, or end game content or imba pvp and classes or karma nerf. They dont have to make sense to you, who are you to judge and belittle their reasons for reaction?
Edit: Just seen Colin’s message. It seems it was an unfortunate mistake that will be hopefully corrected. And it is also a lesson to trolls who start to throw stuff at people who are negatively affected from this. Considering Anet admitted it was a fault not to inform beforehand.
Zafer, dictionary.com should be able to give you the answer you seek. Look up Legacy and sequel. for starters. You sound like your mad because you didn’t get rewards for something you didn’t do. If you would take the time to read anets promise to those who played gw1 then you may come down of your soap box. But some people are incapable of looking past there own nose because doing so, they may see the truth.
If the GW1 players got what they asked for they would have better stats,gear. ect. so get your panties out of a bunch.
and btw, gw1 vets are not self righteous they are just more informed about the guild wars product. Go figure
Never used or needed to use that site and it is obvious you are a frequenter visitor. Second if you have something to defend, do it with your ideas not with insults or else you will be turning this into a flame war when I actually get to your level. And finally, I dont care whether Anet promised you a Porsche for playing GW2 or not, I am just stating what is fair and what is not. Has Anet promised you 500 AP to play GW2? No? Then better shut up before making a kitten out of yourself with all these legacy pebbles. This kind of mentality will know no boundary as Anet can keep feeding those hungry GW1 mouths with all kinds of advantages and you can just hide behind the same words of legacy, sequel, GW1 etc. What we are discussing here is whether it is fair or not. Obviously Anet can still reward GW1 players without actually giving them any advantage over the rest of the community. My statement still stands if anet wants to reward GW1 players with 500 AP then achievement point rank list should be removed as many players seriously race on that list.
PS: If you are actually saying GW1 players should get better stats, gear etc (judging from your ideas, you are one of those bunches), it is pointless to try to have a healthy discussion about 500 AP with you unless you actually decide grow up and get a bit mature and make sense.
Achievements in a different game shouldn’t affect the leaderboards in this one regardless of what anyone says. This boost was obviously made so that people who care about their points are forced to buy the dated old GW1 if they want to be competitive here so that A-Net can milk a bit more money out of it.
That is it. I couldn’t actually agree more as there is no other logical reason I can think of and considering Ncsoft has too much of its finger in GW2, it doesnt sound like a remote reason.
When the patch came up I received 2 emails from Captain Evon Gnashblade and Captain Ellen Kiel along with 2 tokens. Then the game message said a new build is available. I downloaded the new build and the emails were gone along with the content
All of you who played GW1 are acting all self righteous because you just want a free advantage and you dont give a darn whether it is fair or unfair. You played gw1 and you had your rewards and fun in GW1 and now it is over. This is a new game. When the same company made another game you cant expect some advantages in the new game just because you played another game of the company. With the same mentality I can say Anet belongs to Ncsoft and I played Aion, an NCsoft game, for 3 years and where is my reward for playing Aion for 3 years loyally? Don’t go all revolting now!! this is not more illogical than what you defend here. For me whether it is Aion or GW1 it doesnt matter, they are both different games and you cant expect to be rewarded in a different game for playing them.
I have now fallen quite a bit at the achievement list even with 10k achievement points all earned in GW2. Even though existence of achievement points of a totally different game in a new game doesnt make sense at all, the previous point amount was still acceptable but 500 points?? Hell no!! I will not try to compete in a race in which some racers start before me. You cant punish people for something they didn’t do by rewarding others and giving them a huge advantage.
Anet should either get those points back to how it used to be or just remove the achievement list and stop making those achievement point hunters feel themselves cheated.
I might be posting on a inactive thread but I think many people will still hit this thread on their future searches and who knows maybe Anet will give a positive consideration to the suggestions by players about the scavenger hunt requirements.
Considering the price of precursors now and everyone agrees that scavenger hunt should be really really hard to prevent legendary weapons turn to ordinary weapons, and also what Colin said about how they want us to play all their game content to obtain them, I recommend the requirements to be modified a bit as follows to make it hard and reasonable:
-150 sPVP wins
-5k WvW kills
-Dungeon Mastery
-Full JP completion
-10k achievement points
-Some laurel+Guild Commendations
-Master Crafter (Account wise not a single character)
I can hear some protest about these requirements will be hard for some etc. Yes it is supposed to be REALLY HARD. I dont have most of these requirements myself. That will save you 700+ gold so what do you expect? Run from 1 npc to other to talk and use some kind of device to detect some items hidden on the maps and complete it in a week? I think this new scavenger hunt should require a normal player (not talking about those who live in Tyria literally) to invest at least 1 year into it. The hunt wont only make him get a precursor but also make him play all the content and overcome all the challenges GW2 puts before us. I remember in Aion we had to try and grind several months non stop and throw tons of money (to craft a purely luck dependent material) into a seriously crappy gear set that is the rare equivalent of GW2 armors.
Seriously guild commendation points should be the least of your worries. If it is a problem, just join a guild that does them properly. Simple as that.
I am seriously tired of being matched up against biggest zerging servers which happen to be from the same nation over and over again. We were matched up against 2 french servers for weeks and now 2 german servers. I was cursing anet devs for minutes today because while elona was attacking klovan with the hugest zerg that a server can have, kodash was attacking wildcreek with the same numbers. It is obvious they gathered all their numbers at deso towers even though they both are defenseless and vulnerable in their own lands. Any of them can easily get SM or all other towers easily but they keep choosing attacking us at the same time either on our towers or on SM. They dont have an agreement written on a stone but I am sure they somehow got each others back and I am sure most of their players are not even aware of this. A few big wvw guilds are enough considering they have the commanders leading in wvw and casual players just follow them.
I think it is neither RUIN, IRON nor french, german servers that destroyed desolation wvw player base, it is the anet devs that destroyed deso with their ridiculous match ups for months or their impotent algorithm that does it. And I am on the verge of quitting gw2 which has unbearable amount of NCsoft influence on it.
Cleansing ire is just overrated. You have to land a blow for it to work. Considering you as a warrior are just a kite bag and lame gap closer melee class, you most of the time cant find a chance to blow F1 in the right time to remove those conds. Considering ncsoft has its nose in gw2 a lot lately, I dont expect those shiny colorful range skills loving koreans to allow an unfancy melee class to be any good. I know from aion and other ncsoft games. I, as a warrior fan in all mmos I have played so far, never felt my warrior to be nonwarrior -like this much. This class should be renamed I think, this is not a warrior class rest of the game industry knows of.
When I saw this line I didn’t read the rest. If you truly recommend not to move with a warrior which is a kite bag, I think it is about time you reroll a class you know better.
People who are really good at with other professions complain about low survivability of warrior even with 30 defense and 30 tactics and you think 30 defense and 0 tactics will make a good survival warrior? I really think you should actually try sPvP or tPvP before making comments
-Balance of the classes (buff the ones that are left behind) (nerf some mechanics like stealth)
-Reduce the general damage output in pvp to have longer battles
-More maps that have different playstyles, like capture the flag, defending fortress i want more variety of game maps not only capture points, some kind of arenas, like in WOW, because now the entire competitive pvp its centered in capturing poits wich is lame.
-STEALTH is allerady nefed
-dmg is fine too I like it how it is now
- 100% with u on this one, but I think arenas won’t work
Stealth is still game breaking and OP. All the other games I have played so far serve the stealth as a means of escape. In gw2 people use it to overdamage over and over again because it is spammable. And most of the games allow stealth out of combat as a first attack move or to ambush. It is pretty stupid that people go invisible in front of your eyes while fighting. In gw2 people almost dont come visible.
I want a fix on the 4 vs 5 tPvP matches. Most of the time the match just starts with 4 people on one side and 5 on the other. Second reason is the leavers. A few suggestions,
1) First change the lame code that allows the matches to start 4 vs 5.
2) Put a 3 hours pvp ban on the leavers when they log back in.
3) If one of the team still has a leaver then stand by a player from the opponents and put him into spectator mode till a 5th player joins and team numbers are even again. Game can ask if there is a volunteer to stand by, if no one volunteers then game can automatically select a player as it does in many other cases in the game.
Well ever since the recent patches the tournament matching has become worse and worse. I don’t care anymore even when it matches rank 52s vs rank 6s but I am so tired of playing with 4 people vs 5 opponents. It is not even due to a leaver or anything, the game just starts 4 vs 5 from the start. It has been like this for a very long time and you guys somehow find it more urgent to add more and more living story pve garbage that no one other than the achievement point freaks gives a darn about rather than fixing pvp bugs. Sorry if I sound rude but it is about time you start understanding our frustration.
- I am not asking to balance classes because with your hands full of living story things I know it wont happen anytime soon.
- I am not asking you to balance rank matching.
- I am not even asking you to do something about tpvp leavers as I know you will not do anything any time soon
-However I do ask you to stop the games begin 4 vs 5 as people in the 4-membered team don’t even bother to struggle in an unfair match when that happens and it counts as a loss. Just make one of your coders to write one more line of code to prevent matches start with 4 vs 5 or just put one of the players in the 5 membered team into stand by mode until rival team has the 5th player. It can ask if there is a volunteer for that if no one volunteers it can select automatically.
Got kicked to white screen after a sPvP match and now getting Error code: 42:6:3:2158.
Judging from the fact that everyone gets a different error code due to the same problem (whatever happened to servers), codes for this game must be pretty messed up.
The same problem. Stuck on Metrica Province loading screen forever. 2 characters of mine are stuck in there so I am literally unable to play. Another unripe patch!!!
Please Ncsoft, dont add GW2 to the list of the MMOs you have killed and sell Anet to Blizzard. They know how to fix bugs and actually have a decent customer support.
I am on the verge of my patience. I am so tired of Anet’s obsession with adding new content into a few months old game or ridiculous events like karka, refugee event thingy etc, new pvp map and other things while there are countless unattended bugs such as achievements or traits that dont work ever since the day 1. I dont understand your indifference to fix the existing bugs and eagerness to concentrate on stuff no one asks for. And if you were actually good at what you say you are doing I would not mind this much but in fact what you do is only to add more to the list of bugs that you dont give a kitten about. The only time I remember you mentioned fixing a bug was actually to hide the fact that you ninja nerfed the ranger shortbow speed and said you fixed a graphic bug caused by the SB speed.
Well I really dont understand myself either. I ran from a NcSoft game for similar reasons and I am still here even though I learnt NcSoft is not the only publisher of GW2 but also the owner of Arenanet. Famous player friendly Anet can be as much player friendly as Ncsoft and that tells a lot
Haha those 8-9k crits are awesome. In many classes that makes up 60-80% of total HP. You needed a full prenerf QZ +crossfire combo to take that much hp (1 hit of thief damage) assuming opponent stands like a scarecrow and dont dodge or get obstructed xD
It is also the best thing happened to me because I leveled a warrior and dont accept any ranger into my dungeon runs now including the guildies and if I want a decent ranged dps I will just take another warrior who doesnt have to sacrifice everything else to be a decent dps and invest in glass cannon build and whom I dont have to revive at every swarm summons, big aoes, pull aoes at boss fights etc and wont have to worry about their buggy and agro-happy pets now. Warriors can just get the tanking from gear and dps from traits and skills as it should be and is in any other decent mmo. Get mad at me but this is how majority of the players who are COMPETITIVE and know about others classes see rangers now.
Ranger needed a buff not a slap in the face. Nope I wont turn the other cheek and go with “the best thing happened to me because I can now go all stabby stabby on mobs in orr with a dagger”. Sorry my brother but you are a casual player not a hardcore and I believe you have never done any statistical testing or measured the impact of the SB nerf on our dps. It was a 7.7% dps decrease only assuming you have no crit procs, quickness, or bleeds. Anet closing the biggest thread that I have seen in our forums so far due to people just state the obvious show how despotic approach can be effective just like in SB nerf approach.
However I am not directing any anger at you or anything. I perfectly understand that you are now finding other ways to have fun and you are only talking about the ENJOYMENT you have now. However things that makes us happy might be very ridiculous to others and I dont think you should in your way of saying justify a wrong doing disfavored by many for the sake of making your point. You can be misunderstood and flamed even though each of us finds ways to deal with it, some adapt and get happy with pve and others change classes.
The best solution to SB nerf I could find was to shelve my ranger with 2 exotic sets (glass cannon and condition sets) and start playing a warrior. Only thing I felt sorry when I retired my ranger was to give up all those spvp ranks and glory points I obtained after days of spvp but seeing that my warrior can deal higher crits even at his lvl 20s with a green GS than does my lvl 80 exotic ranger with a SB, I think I found the best solution to this problem.
