So much time lost they need something and they need it bad. We used to get whole continents, in one year, now we get one map. Can anyone here honestly say they are are happy with the games currents state of not going anywhere. An expansion pays for itself, people will buy it trust me….. Look at WoW don’t see them losing players anytime soon an they are pay to play. The only thing holding the game up right now or we say paying the programmers is shinny objects in the black lion trading post and the wallet warriors who buy them.

It has been more than two years since the release of the smash hit guild wars 2 or so we say is a smash hit, and Annet has promised new releases of in game content every month. However, with the surprising turn of events the creators, programmers and who ever else runs the show have surprisingly been lacking since the days of old.
I am a hard core guild wars 1 fan, the ability to be what ever skill build you liked with millions of combinations to play. Every year, and even less then a year in some cases, we got two new classes added to the game with hundreds of skills, items, maps, stories, heros….. (need i go on) to play with. Honestly Annet i am a huge fan of your early work in Guild wars 1. Why is it guild wars 2 i feel like we are left hanging. Some of the added work, such as Scarlet’s battles and new boss revamps are fun and amazing, but they have disappeared with out a trace, replaced by solo story ques and shinny new objects in the black lion trader. I feel like the quality stuff leaves and the fashion show stays.
I have nothing but praise for your early work, but considering the original track record of a WHOLE NEW CONTINENTS IN ONE YEAR AND MORE! Is not equal too the only 3 new maps added, and they are not explore maps they are endless event maps equated to mario party and farmvillie style play for fashionable items. So i ask like everyone else: When will we get a new expansion? What is going on that is taking so long? Why should we settle with three maps when before you have given us three continents in the game before? I think i can speak for mostly everyone on this we will pay for the new expansions like we did before, and won’t mind you guys stop adding these little month appeasement tactics to take the time to develop something really amazing. I apologize if this sounds unfair cause some of the monthly gimmicks were well loved (super adventure box) but they are just gimmicks…… I want to play i really do….. but i want to have something to play……There is only so much entertainment that can be gained by standing at a castle door watching 4 people knock it down with a flame ram for five minutes (every ten minutes), before i pull my hair out!!!!
So i was minding my own business doing Crucible of Eternity exploitable path 1 with a pick up group I found on hot join. I did all the work with the team as they asked for experienced people as we got all the way through to the lost boss. Out of no were the two guys who were in the same guild and who started the dungeon started to kick people from the group and adding people from the guild. With out warning i was immediately kicked out of the dungeon.
With the new release of no one particularly owning the dungeon the problem still arises you can do all the work from the dungeon and then kicked immediately by any two who decide to kick from the party. I get none of the rewards and did all of the the works for the submarine path one of the longest paths just so these two could get three guild members and easy dungeon completion it seems unfair.
How can we address it? It only takes two to screw over an entire group. I get that Annet wants us to get along and work together but this proves you can’t trust other people and will divide the community. I am a dungeon master and run them all the time completed many speed clears with great time for fun. But i am going to stop inviting people to teach or help them through dungeon paths if all i get is kicked. I’ll just wait for the people i can trust to play then waste my time with players that kick to get a quick gain.
I have a few questions for everyone here mostly the people who wanted to destroy the farm….
1. What is the real definition of toxic cause i see it being miss used here a lot in this forum.
2. No one was in the cursed shore except for the few people who need to get stuff done there for mapping….. then blinx showed up everyone went to blinx, people complain and ruin blinx….so do you expect us after you kill our farm to help you all map and complete your events? Cause now the cursed shore is empty again cause there is no farming. Empty before now is empty again, regardless of the farm no one would do anything in the cursed shore any ways. What was accomplished? simple nothing but killing a farm again…..
3. All of you complaining about people wanting to complain about farming to be not fun…. you need to reevaluate what an MMO is…. Last time checked killing stuff for loot is the entire point of every MMO since WOW. So if you guys found something fun about guild wars that is not killing stuff for loot…. let me know cause i am curious….. What else is there to do in an MMO? ( to be honest alot easier if the creatures i need to kill loot come to me then me go to them. am I right guys?)
4. Second if it is an exploit why can and is everyone allowed to do it? ~ Food for thought.
5. Last to all of you that police the video game for anent do you get something for claiming everything to be an exploit? Cause if so can i get on this I like free stuff? If not why are you doing it? Seems like a waste of time…. cause uh we all made out with a lot of stuff and you guys got what…… lots of my friends got over 800 champ boxes….. and it was all from that farm…
Rule of game: you kill a champ you get champ box? I am lost what we did wrong? we failed an event….. if you didn’t want us to fail it…. uh why do we have the ability to do so?
What are you talking about they are doing great financially they rake in money from the no so smart people who are buying there legendarys and are giving us chump change events in a map that was created 12 months ago…. They are rolling the dough ripping the players off and making bank like farmville does in facebook!
My friends and I were playing earlier this morning to realize that we have been playing for one full year now!!! Yeah. Then it dawned on all of us we have been playing for 12 months straight and not gotten a single precursor or drop worth more than lets say 10 gold. And yet another one of the guildies lucked out with drop of spark 2 months into picking up the copy of the game.
It got us all wondering:
1. The game title is called guild wars, but i don’t see an single war between guild nor a reference towards guilds fighting. Whats the point of the game being called Guild Wars if guilds don’t fight there is no halls! no teams! and you can only have 5 people in a party?
2. This game require no skill nor commitment to the game. 12 years later a dungeon title working my butt off and all i have gotten is an email from them saying: “thanks for playing have you checked out the gem store lately we love your money!”
3. It took them 12 months to add a decent farming event after 11 months why they didn’t allow farming WHY NOW! (o and the stuff your farming ins’t that good)
4. Why guild wars 2 mission statement was don’t worry play the game and you will get everything you need! Hello MCFLY 12 months still need stuff!
Which brings me to my conclusion! Why is this game called guild wars 2 i think we should change the name to a more appropriate title! Vote which one you like better!
1. Guilds and Getting Lucky!
2. RNGS with a little bit of fighting!
3. No skill required…. but we like your cash!
4. Guildville!
5. Slots! staring the Mystic Forge
IMO the lack of reward is a major result of the lack of vertical progression.
Blue’s, green’s and even yellows (to some extent) are rendered virtually worthless, because of how easy it is to gain max gear.
If they made exotics only drop at the end of a difficult dungeon (and not drop for everyone, every time), and rares only drop throughout difficult content (such as group event chains, dungeons etc), then more people would be wearing blues and greens once they hit 80. They’d have to work to get the higher tiers and every time you run and got a rare (or even a mildly better green) you’d be excited!
This would apply if it wasn’t for the fact that the lack of exotics is the reason why i would get my butt kicked. Exotics are sooooooo much better than greens and golds that you would lose a fight in WVW due to the simple fact of them having better gear then you. Simple as that.
This game has serious issues when it comes to the risk and time of doing something vs the reward of getting anything. I am confused on why they even bother dropping certain items anymore (ie: Pile of Putrid Ess).
Due to the Random Generator for items one person can put in a million hours do every thing and hit nothing but air, where as another can get a precursor in a week? What is the point?
I don’t even do half of the things in the game anymore, because the time and the risk of a fight isn’t worth the small amount of rewards.
When is or will this game actually give us stuff equal to the difficulty or time we put into it? Or at least can we get something worth while out of the crap we do get (ie: Pile of Putrid ess, terrible whites and blue, and wasteful greens).
Final thought: I get more from chopping a tree in Runescape then killing a champion in GW2!
Agreed and remember for games like these it is fuelled by the players and the company needs to encourage people to do stuff instead of discourage people to do stuff. Makes a difference. I have friends quitting because they say the game won’t let them farm anymore to make money or the dungeons are becoming to annoying to play.
Be careful, I beat Skyrim and got everything in the game in only 60 hours. Beat it twice actually. I hold no ill will to that game and will buy the next one even though I don’t play it that much anymore. I am unsure about GW2 considering the fact that they discourage players from doing anything but PVP.
I would rather get everything in the game in a few weeks be satisfied, and buy the next one or next expansion then spend months getting nothing. I mean why would i buy a game that won’t let me get anything just to keep me coming back for false hope. Get rid of the RNG its bad and add rewarding gear. You will obtain more players and make people want to buy sequels. Otherwise you will bore everyone away and make ill will upon the name Anet.
That is why I ask if you play your own game cause I would want to know if you see the ill will that is created from mistakes. The community wants to tell you something and the last post I saw was the game direct can win pvp….. uh?
It is know that about 75% of the population use crit build or 20% use tank builds. The problem is the uselessness of conditions. Condition Builds are becoming one of the worst builds to play and it is due to many factors.
1. Yellow objects in dungeons (they are uneffected by conditions waste of space crit better)
2. Condition removal ( eles can remove a condition on dodge role to easy and all the stacks of bleed are removed when you remove bleeding. Takes a whole lot longer to give 25 stacks than to take way.)
3. Conditions too weak ( 100 health a second for the best condition builds is chump change to 3000 a second from crit).
4. Lack of conditions or hexs ( weakness, daze, vuln, do not increase condition damage, Only bleed, burning and poison deal damage conistantly.)
5. too short a time limit (explanatory)
Are they doing anything to address condition damage cause it is useless and it shows on the trader when the least expensive stuff is that with condition. This makes Crit to expensive to use.
If you just died in PvP or WvW, it was probably me who killed you. GG!
Lol you cheated bro! Your health never left the 3/4 mark. That explains alot you are the game director -.- and besides you didn’t kill me that was one of my Mesmer clones!
Round 2 FIGHT!
And please tell me the main focus of this game is not pvp cause if it is so not happy -.-
So then well call it a draw.
I am confused though? If you are trying to be culturally considerate. Lets say i am Asian and i want to make my character look Asian right. Well you won’t let me, because the character creation will not let me create an Asian inspired character. Why is that we have no Cantha. Cantha allowed the creation of an Asian character. The human creation in GW2 will not let me choose to look like an Asian. So I am confused what is culturally considerate not creating an Asian themed location for who knows why. Or not allowing me to create an Asian looking character who reflects what i look like. The only human i can create look like Europeans and North Americans. I believe it is culturally inconsiderate to assume that i would want to make my character look like a North American or European are you implying they are the only ok human race to be?
I would agree with RNG, but then i see 3 wings to the guy who is only online 1 hour a week? Still don’t get it. Its trend to much of a coincidence to be random. Would anet or NCsoft care to explain. I am just asking other people if they have seen this trend cause the numbers don’t lie.
Jeffery are you happy with the game currently then cause i almost would rather you guys take more time to work on creating one really good up date then a bunch of small kind of boring ones. Moa races and Dragon ball are like call of duty fun for the 1st maybe the second time but nothing to amazing to play over and over again. I don’t know if it is considered the most “fun” i just expect better considering all the other things that were created in GW1. Underworld, Shards of Orr, The Deep, And the other two continents. Can we bring back the crystal desert or something?
I don’t understand i farm everyday and do not get anything, but friends of mine who play maybe once every three days walks in and gets 3 dragon wing covers and an exotic. What gives? What do i have to do to actually get anything in this game. Is the amount of time you are offline a direct cause to how much better your drop rate is or is it the longer you are offline the more time your drop rates reset. I don’t get it? XD
So if you do see them are they like covered in alot of amazing gear and stuff cause they made the game so they don’t have to like do stuff well what we consider the dirty work. Farming, praying excetera.
Has anyone ever seen some one from anet actually play the game. Most of the time they talk about what is in the best interest of us or what they think would be more fun. But it seems to be going in the wrong direction cause everyone keeps complaining. I all most wonder if they even play there own game. I mean i wonder if they are satisfied with how it turned out.
Does everyone think that Anet or NCsoft or who ever makes the decisions is creating better content that the gamer actually wants or just easy filler to appease people cause they promised they would give us new stuff?
Nothing shouts more fun then buying a game to you guessed it buy my way to complete it. -.-
Well i mean according to GW2 or anet getting a legendary is part of completing everything it’s show as logging in. As for pvp or wvw you have to explain what you mean cause there is no skill in haveing superior numbers and for best gear isn’t a legendary best?
Skill for what manipulate the trading post because besides a condition guardian i can do every dungeon in this game with any build and character except arah path 4 with one of my hands tied behind my back.
Yeah but with a .05% luck rate you can do the math thats 0%. You have a better chance to get struck by lightning then get a decent item in this game. Lol scary. And to answer the other comment about what they do i farmed for ever in south sun and cursed shore and i haven’t even seen someone ping a precursor let alone ever get one.
Ok i have to ask cause i find you people who say this game isn’t for you to be really amusing. What is left for us to do? What are we doing wrong? Apparently you know more about this game than we do so please share in your knowledge of what else there is to do, because from my opinion other than pvp the original writer described this game perfectly. But no offence to anyone pvp requires no skill to play it is simple math: WVW larger server > smaller server. and spvp i have never played before played recently i have 186 top stats and have played 190 games. I know i screwed around more that 3/4s the time. SO ITS NOT SKILL!
I am confused no matter how much you say it Exotics are better than greens and blues. Blues and greens are useless stop dropping them. No one uses them and since you are making the game harder it is impossible to actually use blues and greens effectively. It’s like shooting yourself in the foot make weak gear worth more increase difficulty of game therefore demand of better gear. Do you guys even play your own video games? It’s comments like these that make me wonder if anet workers have ever even seen a green or even play the game lol.
I am confused about this game. I have been playing this game since the first day it came out. And i have to say no matter what i do i can’t figure out the formula to be successful.
I cannot figure out how one person can play for 6 mins get a precursor and they are set for the rest of the game and the people who have been playing for months, know everything, or can do everything and get nothing.
All of the best farming possibilities have been nerfed. The dungeons are getting patched one by one to be more annoying to take longer. ( not harder)
So what does it take to be good at this game
1.Skill
2.Persistance
3.Luck
“A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?”
Actually as a matter of fact if you state that infinite spawning “Mad Rasputin” is illegit then the whole game is illegit, because everything responds in time other wise there would be nothing to fight.
More over to your ban hammer comment when i was farming with a group of buddies out in a server i wont say so you don’t go troll. An aNet employee came out looked at it laughed then proceeded to farm with us. You can’t miss them they are all in the same guild with a specific picture. After 15 mins a guy said, “your cool with this” and he said, "its in the game. "
For months they have known about this and have done nothing and any post against it gets moved to another location to we know about this. They don’t seem to mind. If they do they would have done something about it.
I am trying to understand is why no one else wants to make money off of it. Especially since COF speed clear is wayyyyyyy more money than this. I get about 3 gold in 15 mins from COF (12 gold and hour) and 5 gold every hour from the lyssa farm. So if they want to nerf something hit COF P1.
What i really don’t get is those who are against us farming why? We are not exploiting anything we are just killing creatures for drops? Most the time i ask people why they don’t want us to do it is because they almost all say something like, “well i don’t want you to have a legendary then mine isn’t as cool.” What is your guys real reason for not wanting us to farm? Do you not want everyone else to be able to make gold in this game or are you simply jealous that we didn’t have to use our credit card to buy our legendaries? Because if you are trolling us just because of the simple fact you want us to be poor who are the real bad guys here?
If you want to complete Lyssa tell the farmers we will farm while you get everything else complete then let you complete and we can still farm the event after Lyssa boss is up.
The problem is now that many of you are trying to troll the farmers. We can’t rest Lyssa in order to complete the boss game so now we both lose we can’t farm and no one can complete Lyssa are you all satisfied?
So for those who complain that this event never gets done can you go to the low level areas to help me with the events so i can level up since your soooooo in desperate need to complete events.
(edited by Zero.6082)
I don’t understand everyone ones problem to not want to farm. Lyssa’s rewards are terrible you have .05% chance of getting precursor which in statistics class we call that zero. In addition the gear that you get from her can be obtained from doing the most simple dungeons in the game and the dungeon gear looks better. I wouldn’t even touch the karma armor now cause it makes me look like i am a new player or not experienced at the game (cause everyone can karma farm in the curse shore). It is not an exploit in the game we are just simply choosing not to complete the event in order to get infinite spawns. The game is coded to spawn till the event is complete if we don’t do it the code will continue. This is not considered cheating, exploiting, or force failing. If you really want lyssa’s rewards that bad you can go guest to other servers to complete the server. But don’t ruin it for the rest of us cause were just going to change servers where we can farm not help you complete lyssa. We are farmers we need cash if annet wants to start handing out precursors we wouldn’t have to do this. But is our only viable, and best way to make income in the game.

I guess that’s how the game works now. Pop in to check to see if its worth time or not. That sucks XD.
…. you lost all your life in every other game but this one that means dead XD so now the life bar counts for nothing. Downed is when you get knocked down. Dead is when you lose all your life. I have seen a warrior rally 5 times using his third downed skill and rejoining his group to kill someone. I have played thief in a fight downed warrior. Another guy runs over to help him and now warrior uses rally two vs 1 instead of the 1 vs 1 that it should have been now i have to fight the warrior all over again.
again with the same comeback firegoth read my message i agree with mattidore. WHY SHOULD YOU GET A SECOND CHANCE WHEN YOU DIE. You are dead stay dead. I mean the most cheap get back ups to when you kill the dumb jaguar that got in the middle of the fight. The downed rally state with computer enemies that are easy to kill standing next to you can give you a cheap rally get rid of it in pvp and pvx i don’t understand why dead doesn’t = dead in this game. Its a simple concept. lol
When i see people promote this game it makes me wonder to like mattidore if they are anet in disguise lol. I mean you don’t have a great reason why downed state should stay you are basically promoting them for there gain why? I mean if they did something wrong or something isn’t working idk why you have to promote it i find downed to be a waste too plain and simple if your dead your dead. Why should you get a second chance? Especially when your friend kills someone you hit maybe once you get to come back up please? Means you don’t have much skill if you go down up all the time from team mate heals or friend kills someone for you.
Are you enjoying it cause of the magic find boost they used as bait to get us out of the curse shore, or because the same instigator quest keeps popping up. I want plots not random events. What happened to like 25 epic missions and like aliens, demons, gods, and epicness that the first game had. It lacks depth and was replaced by 5 second events and shinny objects. Bored of the the events i want real depth. I want really story. Are they going to do that not just “new champion spawns”
Firegoth no it is not cause now i am really bored and the journey to get there was really boring i mean face it the story sucked! And the heart quests are chores not epic quests like most mmos out there. So i would rather them have taken there time to develop quests stories and epicness so the game wasn’t rushed into boring level 80. There’s nothing to do but farm. This game is over glorified PVP so at least get rid of the down state and do something right in this game.
I am so bored i have no idea what do anymore. Guild wars 2 keeps adding on boring extra content, but i am not impressed and most of it is really boring. I am part of a small guild and i don’t want to have to pay a big guild or join one just to find something to do in mission exectera. I am a dungeon master, WvW commander, and bored of pvp. I just log in to do my daily fractals then log out like its farmville cause pink gear is the only thing i need (besides the wasted time on a shinny legendary which not impressed). So what is there left do? Does anyone have any interesting ideas or fun or know if Anet will come out with something for GW2 that is epic, fulfilling, or worth time? People in lions arch keep posting this game is dieing are they right?
The above statement explains why there are alot of trolls in LA: lol good call.
Elementalists have the best weapons swap ever…. There elements. You know those count as weapon swaps towards weapon sigils. Thats 4 weapon swaps for you sigil and 20 skills instead of 10. Win!
Is everyone sitting around waiting for the dailies to reset so you can go do stuff in GW2? I know i am. The time limits and diminished returns are ruining this game. I believe they should remove the daily limits on fractals, and dungeons. This is ridiculous that i have to wait 10 days to get my ascended gear that i wait patiently to use in WvWand exct. I have time now i shouldn’t have to wait till tomorrow to get my rewards and then the next day. I HAVE TIME NOW NOT TOMORROW NOT THE NEXT DAY NOW!! DON’T MAKE ME WAIT! UGH. I keep asking my friends to play this game with me, but nobody takes it seriously anymore. They are calling the game dare i say: “FARMVILLE”
So they nerfed burst gave us nothing?
O ok my bad darkness i miss read what you said i agree! Lol heaven forbid the elemental uses toughness armor instead of berserker. My guardian roles thieves, then thieves role glass cannons its how the game works. Don’t Nerf my best skill to make a point though Q.Q
Dark i am guessing you have never played thief before, but our traites are set up for two things
1. Stealth
2. burst damage
What you just said is like asking a guardian to stop healing!
Agreed with the above statement i mean all i had was my burst combo and now it gets nerfed i agree there are a few builds out there, but i am set for burst!!! i am not going to was 40 gold + to change everything again to make my self a new theif especially when mesmers, shortbow/sword rangers, and d/d ele’s are way more overpowered. I have played a good amount of pvp i am just saying what was going through your mind when you said yeah heal on an opening move. I use it to get close to my enemy to engage in a fight i wont wait and run up to you.
Actually magic find gear in dungeons and fractels makes your party a whole lot weaker. Now they are wasting a good buff for 3% i would kick them cause i know they are not contributing and i am a dungeon master. I know when your not helping. I will take anyone with a willing heart and at least trying to make there build as good as possible. However, condition scepter guardians no not in my group.
Runescape guys you want to fish plenty there and it is free lol. Lots of chilling and fish botters
Wolf i don’t chase guardians they are my weakness thats dumb. Just like i don’t think you would mess with a condition necro, because i have not met a guardian who can beat him.
Lets be honest this game has nothing to do with magic find and more like luck. If the game randomizer really likes you enough. Then you get what ever its kind of like playing in a casino. They give 100 people prizes to make you think you are going to get something to keep you playing but, i bet 90% of you are never going to get a legendary with out have to pay anet for it cause thats how they make their money IT’S A TRAP!!!!!
Can we first fix the story so it is not one of those things above. I mean apparently nobody does the heart quests cause that is everything you just listed XD
? PVE WvW PVP come on guys lets face it the thief is ment for one on one fights in the arena. Thats how they are designed. That’s how they win. Change the whole class then. I repeat play full set of lyssa runes. Pop the baskalisk venom you have all the buffs you will ever need!
I vote Orr cause it seems like the only way anet provides money. Then of course buying it. ITS A TRAP!!!!! (farm ville 2.0)
I just want them to admit they are nerfing it cause people are complaining cause they can’t win against it. Point shadow form we all know anet screwed up but at least own up to it don’t say it helps you survive longer. Last time i checked if you died and i am alive i lived longer regardless of healing.
