Vargamonth.2047:

Last time I remember the map chat getting truly disgusting was after a Draconis Mons wyvern fight failed a couple weeks ago.
The commander was being extremely rude and totally deserved the bashing he got, but even with that, he still had a point.
Having to explain what CC is, as some people were suggesting, in the fifth LS map of an expansion full of breakbars sounds somewhat depressing. There will be for sure some players not familiar with the terminology, but when a zerg consistently fails on every single breakbar (which happens all the time btw), that’s not a problem with newcomers, that’s people not giving a kitten, so I can easily understand the frustration. It doesnt’ excuse the rudeness tough.

Agreed, it doesn’t excuse rudeness. When someone tags up for ANY event, they need to know there is usually going to be a mix of people who just play for fun and not to get maximum rewards all the time, and people who aren’t fast learners when it comes to mmorpg mechanics and what not (maybe new to this type of pc gaming or perhaps they don’t play all that often). Sure when you want that CC bar to break and you’re unloading all the CC you have, sometimes it’s easy to assume everyone else knows as much as we do, but I remember being in that same situation and not knowing what my cc skills were exactly. Also even if people know what cc is (just using cc as one example), people might not be familiar with the class or weapon setup they are using atm, which those of us that make many alts can relate to.

Agreed also. Few times you will have events that we won’t finish because a lot of people dont understand how to complete it. As newbies you should always ask whats going on and how to clear it, so you can clear everything to the best of your ability. Also as a squad leader, Squad leaders should always be prepared to teach new players. Squad leaders should always have in the back of their head if were not clearing the event its probably because most people dont know how. Squad leaders should always ask if all the players know what to do, and explain to the players what the players need to do. Since the person is the squad leader, the leader should always give out the most information to the group he has paired. If your knew, ask always. If your a leader ask everyone if they know what to do. That is how it is suppose to be done. Being frustrated is the outcome of his/her leadership so the leader is really being mad at himself/herself.

If you are a newbie always ask. Even if you seem stupid. Who cares just ask the question. Its better then being in battle acting like you know what your doing but being least effective. If your a newbie and you do not know the term cc, or just any mmo term look it up or ask. If you don’t know your class, look your class up. Then ask people the best thing to do for better opinions. Play with your class to know the most effective abilities and traits. I remember I was doing a raid for the first time and on teamspeak dude was like cc. And I was like what the eff is cc. Then everyone explains. Its a team game. Be aware that dxxxs are present. Theres good players, then theres competitive players who suck…… which make a bad mixture. Competitors who suck are the ones who think that its about them and try to win by their power when its about everyone. And so they yell at everyone.

First is no. Second yes you can catch up in masteries. Third I’ll say maybe. Even though gw2 is balanced. It’s by your playing style. If your playing style isn’t the way the elite specials design for the toon you use. U might be outclassed from that. Having both hot and POF. You have more of an option to choose how you fight. Not saying you will. Just depending on you. My understanding POF mounts and everything should be in all maps. And wvw you should get POF class too.. IDK if you will get mounts in wvw though. People can correct me if I’m wrong.
The balancing in the game you can’t have 2 elites same time. You have to choose one or the other therefore build would be different but equal. In terms of mastery you shouldn’t worry. Because those are more of specific things all your characters have. However none of the masteries give you extra power. Or extra aoe eff penetration or anything like that. Masteries had to do with things you wanted to get around the map.

Worst environments are PvP. And raids. Maybe wvw, other then that it’s very mellow. Sorry for u to meet people that way. There are some who are bxxxes and then most are very friendly.

There are people everywhere that talk horrible. Eso. FFXIV. Gw2. U just need to tell them straight. Or report him. Cause this isn’t that environment. However the guild I’m in doesn’t talk that way. And we make sure. So there are many guilds that are nice. Many people who help u. There are many that will help till you get what u need. Then there’s the people who need to change their attitude. It’s everywhere.

Hmmmm idk. Putting gw2 on console would take a lot of time. It’s not the fact that people don’t want it to happen. It’s the fact that everything in the game the devs have to compress for the consoles to be able to play them. How much compression I personally don’t know. But it can mean a lot of change for us PC gamers. Us PC gamers aren’t limited by the things consoles have which makes devs easier to bring things out for gw2. Once you have console, it means graphics will go down, which ever part of the game consoles can’t take will be different because devs have to take the memory down for consoles. How much the devs can put into the game will be restricted. Then somehow adding the trading Post link to also console. Players partying with console players means there’s got to be for a way to link. If gw2 was just windows I would see Xbox easily being a cross platform. But since Mac is also there. And it’s taking arena net years to perfect Mac, it will take a while for arena net to link Xbox one. Even if they start today it will take couple years before it’s up for testing. Which we don’t know will happen in couple of years. Just think about it. If we add consoles. That means everything about the game can not be played to its full potential because we have to be limited for consoles to be able to handle the game.

If you played eso. Or ffxiv. Or played pretty much every game. Gw2 jumping is probably one of the top at best jumping machanics. Your probably being spoiled with gw2s jumping. You should try out other games to compare because other game are horrible. I mean struggle for timing the jump in the air. The struggle to jump over a rock. Trust me gw2 got that on lock. That’s why gw2 is the only MMO that has jumping puzzles. Cause others couldn’t handle how bad their jumping is.

I mean a lot of people won’t like it, but a lot of people would like it. The ratio idk, but gw2 being the first MMORPG to have an actual underwater city map. A shark mount, or anaconda mount. A water race kinda like Aquaman but gw2 version of them. And a big oh water God. Kinda like Balthazar instead just water.

CptAurellian.9537:

I think (and hope) that they’ve abandoned underwater stuff for good. An underwater expansion would probably be the workload of three regular ones (due to the necessary rework of all underwater gameplay systems), so it’s simply not economical.

So you don’t like playing underwater huh?????
I use to not like to, but after a while I really like it, and it’s a challenge. As far as how much work the devs need to put in, we don’t know. I mean as soon as living world season 3 was done, An announcement of the expansion came. And a month later already much more content. So how much work these guys have to do we really don’t know. Especially every 2 months they would make a new episode and a new map for living world season 3. Maybe not a whole expansion, But what about like a couple maps added for like living world season 5 or something. And add another race? Not as much very complicated but hopefully some people might like the water maps. Don’t know what it would take for people to like it, but I like it. So if you don’t like underwater battle, what do you think needs to be added or taken away for you to like it?

Hmm if people wouldn’t want an expansion then prob make it in living world season you know, after they finish the pof living world season after the expansion. And just add couple maps. It would be awesome though and add something into it as a good story. Some type of atlantic city. Equivalent to lions arch but instead its underwater. And this was the first lions arch before the lions arch on land existed. And then Maybe like a lost water race. And add a type of new race. So then we get new maps. A new place for another safe haven. And then take down ancient water creatures.

It would be frustrating. But I thought that it would be cool. Or add a type of suit so instead of the Spears you can actually do physical combat.

Underwater new elite specs for each time your underwater?

After POF. We have a full underwater city. A new mount to ride with underwater? An underwater God villain?

Punished? I have a theif and I don’t get murdered from pve. And thief is probably the most squishy out of all the melee toons. You need the right armor. The right traits. And choose your weapons wisely to combat when you’re in danger and when you need to murder. Dodging I love that. I love how arena net put that in otherwise combat would be boring. And we would be stuck just hitting and staying still. There’s always tricks and understanding your toon to get through these things. My Daredevil is staff/shortbow. Or I would switch to shortbow/pistol dagger. But you have to understand the situations where you will be in when you get 10 rivals on you. And think how you will make it alive. I know people who are guardian and rev who don’t have a problem. But not often as warrior cause idk who uses them. But they are fine. I think the matter is. The game should be able for us to work hard to complete events. And it always should. I don’t want to play this game another year if they made the game easy. There is a reason why you have 2 weapons. Use them wisely. Make them compatible so when your in deep dookie you can get out. Practice, practice, practice.

No however, there is a POF and hot bundle for 50 I believe instead of 60. POF. And hot are separate. But in the gw2 site there is a bundle to get both.

I went onto my nieces file to show her how to play. I’m in queensdale and jump off a cliff forgetting she doesn’t have gliding yet. So I’ jump thinking everything is ok till I press the space bar in the air and she splats. But it’s ok. I told her I forgot cause I have gliding which she can too she just needs to unlock it.

The only story I had problems with is mordremoth. And I think living world season 2 where you had to rescue people from vines. But only when I was Daredevil. My other characters I had fine. Story wise everything is good that u can solo. You should look up your class build. That will help tremendously. And pick the right traits.

Never played it and didn’t get the chance to. Wondering in detail. Not too long for the person to tell. But want to know what happened. If that’s ok.

It can depend. If it’s just you and it’s your first time. Maybe 30 mins to an hour. Depending on what you know and the class. I had trouble even when I did it twice with my elementalist when I was alone. Took me about 40 mins.

Druids can heal far away. Especially in raids. VG you can revive the whole raid crew with a press of a button.

Useless…. No. U say we have waypoints but what happens when your discovering a new map? You can’t teleport across the map in only 1 waypoint. Especially in annoying maps. Tangled depths is one of the most annoying maps….(for me) put a mount in there and can get hps much faster. It’s not about you remember that. It’s about the whole gw2 community. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean other people dont also. Another reason is when New comers from other MMOs came from a MMO that had mounts, Then come into this one and wonder why we have no mounts. In gw1 we did. It’s going to be a problem. They might think it’s outdated. If gw2 is a competitor with eso, ffxix, wow. They needs mounts for people to leave because new players will always compare features like that. If eso has mounts why gw2 doesn’t? Knowing we have waypoints however FFXIV can do the same thing and so can eso. It’s not called waypoints in those game but, they can also teleport. Gw2 has to be updated. That’s why they have mounts. People wanted them. Gw2 gave it. More people love it then dislike it. Most people happy rather then fewer not happy about it.

The thing is we are in a forum. A group of people who love gw2. If someone makes a suggestion and we like it. Just agree. If you don’t, just leave it alone or say why not in a respectable manner. All suggestions are good. Because it gives the devs another idea to add. But if you have the majority of the players who want that idea to also happen you should respect it. Because the devs are sooner or later going to implement it into the game. We should have a suggestion page or request feature page in the forum where everyone just votes. Or denies in a respectable manner. So the devs can just tally it. And later on they might make it, to make the players happy. Now if they do have that page let me know. But I agree. Saying it’s the waste of time for devs is B’s. Very few people actually know what it takes to develop a feature in the game. Let alone make one.

Hmmmm pvp it and wvw are good. I forgot but if your roaming with the toon. Get the exp boosts which help a lot.

I will say lvling in gw2 is faster than other MMOs by far. It just takes lot of thought and work. U won’t realize how easy it is till after your done with your first character. Then you get a better strategy to do it. But since it’s your first. It will take a while. But while it takes a while. Enjoy your time.

Oh 1 thing people miss all the time but will take more time to get done. Mine everything and cut down everything and gather food materials. All these add exp. Everything counts. When you walk by mine it. Cut it or gather it. When you get to lions arch by the time you can craft stuff. Do that when it’s by your story. That lvls up to. Everything counts.

Hmmmm doing that fast. Doing events mostly. Go to all the lower lvl maps first and kill those off. Do the story. Go on daily and get tomes through there. After always do a few PvP cause you get tomes there too. I think if you do it right. Every 3 PvP matches you can get a tome. But don’t use the tomes till you get closer to 80. Cause lvling will take longer. Complete the first map your in. Then get a guide to get to all the other lvl 1-10 maps. Discover those then go to the lvl 11-20 maps and do all those. Before you get off do a few PvP matches and get a tome and save it. When you get to lvl 50 or 60. Go to the tequitl event. And find groups for dungeons. On the lfg. Scope out and find a group or make one. It’s all about exp. Those so far I do those. Other people prob know better but that could help.

Honestly. I was a little biased on theif. And thought it’s new class would suck but dang dude it was legit. I think if you take full account on the class skills first and remember that each class has its purpose. Remember even right now before the new elites people are selective in each class for PvP and wvw. Same thing with tokittenight be selective with the new elites. But to say they suck is opinion. They have different purposes. Theif good job. I think scourge is good. Engineer they did well. Ele they did well. Rev I think is cool. Warrior and gaurd. Haven’t done. But relax it’s a demo. There’s much time. We still haven’t done pve. Or raids with them. Which are very different.

idk what it is but for some reason the 32 bit just runs better. 64 bit is too laggy. And the loading in the 64 bit is way too long. I would have to run around for few minutes just to see all the buildings. I mean unless I dont have a good mac then you guys should say but its loading way too long. My mac is an i5 8gig mac mini but it does the job. And i think before it switched to iris 1536 graphics card it was a 4000 hd? Dont remember but no other game do I have problems with. I understand that its a bit test so its ok though. Im just waiting for the finished product. However compared to 32 bit graphics are bomb on the 64 bit. And the trading post is far better then the 32 bit.

I didn’t know gw1 had that feature already. And didn’t know it would do that.

I bought it because to me gw2 is most entertaining MMO in my opinion. It doesn’t have the most features like wow. Or eso. But the gameplay that I do is amazing. I bought it to support them in the long run. And I was waiting for next expansion as soon as I finished hot story. I’m not an MMO specialist or a long time with gw2. I’ve only been on gw2 more than a year. But so far I’ve tried eso and FFXIV. To not purchase, I don’t think you’ve given gw2 enough credit for enough fluidity. And game play. And price. I mean 30 dollars for expansion? It’s 50 dollars for new Xbox one game. 40 for a 3ds game. 50 for PS4. You get my point. But 30 for added story. New mounts that no other game has. No other MMO has your mount have different specialties in riding. I’m not sure about attacking. But our mounts can attack also?! And new elite specializations? For just 30? And new chapters. And arena net is supporting updates for it after living world season 4. Now let’s talk pricing. Wow is subscription. You have to pay 15 a month. So 2 months your already paying a flat fee for what you pay for wow. Same with FFXIV. Eso is btp but marrowind is 50 I think and eso you can get all added content but subscribing 15 also adds up when you can just buy it. Pricing is amazing. You should get it.

Yea my rank it’s pretty low let’s not mention that XD lol. I just don’t have many people to do wvw with. So I don’t do much wvw. And just started doing ranked PvP. So pretty low also.
True. For me I don’t care about what the other person has. I would just like to duel. But if that’s how arena net is wanting everything balanced I’d see why they hadn’t added that feature yet. But me I would want to duel even if I lose. Dueling is just fun. Cause in PvP you rarely have 1 on 1 moments in a match. Unless you stock them. And wvw u can get more 1 on 1 but sooner or later their is an army coming at you. Dueling 1 on1 would be fun.

Hmmmm what do you guys think of this. So u know how in mordremoth final chapter you have a hard mode? What if every single world boss you were allowed to choose that? Or when you quest to fill the hearts?

After a post that I did I can see why they didn’t add personal duel. We have players probably like you and me. Where we do not have legendary armor or weapons. I think to get those you can only craft. Don’t think you can buy in the trading Post. So for people who have everything maxed and crafted the materials. We would be murdered each battle. And wouldn’t be fare. And it wouldnt matter even if we had the skill. We would probably win 1. If the person didn’t know what they are doing. But if they did…. It’s gonna be bad. What arena net did is balance everything in PvP and wvw. With duels no balancing. And it would be frustrating to the new people. So arena net left it alone to create everything to play fair. Now if they balanced duels too. Like they did for PvP then it would be cool. But don’t think it will happen.

Well what you think should be added?

What you guys think should be added? Do you think housing would be nice as a feature? Or no?

Like say. Reaper and scourge together. Skills change a little. You can take the life out of opponents and while doing that give life to allies? But owell I just thought it was a good idea. Didn’t think it would make a drastic thing for power XD.

Hmmmm that is true. It would be odd for druid and soulbeast to be together also. Maybe it would be in the future. So later they could change the elite specializations when they are combined, to work together instead of them having an odd compatibility?

If you were charged with not your authorization you should go to your bank. Not arena net. But go to arena net and then take the card off. Never save your card on games. U never know when or if it will happen to be hacked. Which is a big possibility. Make a whole bunch of tickets till they respond. However it could be the fact that they are biased with that your account hacked cause u can’t log in. A lot of people try to say it to get on other people’s accounts. Prob why they are taking forever to determine it’s not a lie? My tickets only take a day the most for them to respond. Not to forget their servers went down so they could be having catch up with everybody else. Relax. Keep on making tickets till they respond.

That’s not really a paywall. Cause even if you don’t pay later on if you do it right you can buy the game with gold exchange. And the people who don’t have hot and POF barely play. They log in and later down the road they will play again. It’s no different then wow. Or eso. Or FFXIv. The features are the same. If you don’t have that version you don’t have those features. Every other game also has the cost if your not up to date you would lack features. But I don’t think it would be a big feature that the people who don’t have hot. Or POF Would be a gap with power. For PvP and wvw. You get everything in the class. So what if they did that too if they didn’t have it? Just let you use only in PvP and wvw. But pve, dungeons and raids u have to unlock? IDK I just thought it would be awesome. Maybe if they adjust it somehow.

Hopefully you guys have thought of this. But playing PvP with my thief gave me the idea. I was thinking it would be great to be able to use 2 elite specializations at the same time. And that each class would be able to use 2 of them. And that somehow later on you would make mastery points to be able to use 2 elite specials at the same time. Or something equivalent. But I thought it would be awesome to do that. And that it would make a lot of choices and combinations for a character build. And that later on you would add another slot into the build in every class.

What I meant by adding another slot. Is there are 3 slots in every character. For example in theif you would have acrobatics. Trickery. And Daredevil. But later on when adding 2 elite specialization we could have 4 slots and add the new specialization. It would be nice to have that to unlock with mastery points. Like the beginning of hot you guys made gliding. But to unlock it we had to have mastery points. I think you should do that way to unlock it. Or some sort of other way that is equivalent. But hopefully you guys implement it. And hopefully you read this.

The guild wars on mine will launch but, its empty. For example the guild wars 2 icon will bounce and open then that is it.
