Guild Wars 2

While hate is a very strong word, I liked it for a few hours then jsut stopped caring, SAB does show one big problem with GW2:
The devs should have made a super mario mmo.

To the gw franchise isnt about jumping puzzles or dodging stuff, it’s a rpg.

If Anet could refocus on making exciting pve stuff it’d be reat but looks like the JP mania will go on : /

The OP title is " one core flaw"

then in his post he describes three…
which one IS the core flaw? I still don’t know.

point 1- is his personal opinion, i don’t share this sentiment, i like very much the new dailies.
point 2- yes , agree, I don’t like if they will make more gear thread mil,
if they introduce tier higher than ascended me (and maybe some other people) will look for a different game.
Is it THE core flaw?
nah
there is no subscription to GW2, so if from this change they will be able to sell more boxes, they are fine.

we can talk about it and discuss it even more. but this topic was discussed to death since when? November?

point 3
this is also not true.
the devs are always talking and communicating.
just read the latest four parts interview in gw2guru.
go to the devtracker in these forums.
there is a lot of info here, it just probably not what YOU want to hear.

most of the remaining five pages are just tantrums (‘nerf this class…’ and ‘buff this class….’ are just kindergarten level ), very little posts there are properly articulated and have opinion worth reading.

and i will remind you again…
you are not paying subscription…
just to set the perspective
dragon age cost me more than GW2 and I played it for much less than six months, and it has HUGE amount of bugs… even gamebreaking ones that you had to start all over…

the last patch and what they promised about the next big WWW patch (the Ides of March lol) GW2 tells me that they care about the game and it is going somewhere.

Back to the topic

what is the ONE CORE FLAW?
my unprofessional opinion is trying to get the balance between PVP and PVE at the same time, but failing on both…

in PVE, most of the content can be finished by all classes, but some classes can do it better and faster.
the old ‘warrior, guardian, mesmer’ vs all the rest classism..

in PVP, again: thief and mesmer are considered by the player base kings of PVP.

so Anet are trying to balance both, but for their hard work they receiving flack from both sides of the game.
if they state for example that from now on they will be balancing PVP only. and actually do this.
and although i might not like it, the amount of outrage in the forums will be reduced by half…

Most if not all mmos now are buy to play or free 2 play and they make more money using gambling chests in the TP than they would ever make with a sub.

Not charging a sub doesn’t grant a developer an excuse to ignore criticism from the players nor does it nullify the players feelings about the game.

Exactly this. We dont pay a sub so we are ants

Wait did someone say that anet isnt ban happy? Noone remembers the great ban waves post launch where people were getting banned just for buying stuff off merchants?

He’s right to be scared and to make a post on the forums as a disclaimer.

Looks like my firewall is preventing me from logging in, oh well. At least it’s not anets fault right

This clearly illustrates how crappy wvw has become. GJ on zerging to a serv.
When every single guild joins the higher tiers people will stop playing on lower servs.

You can count on me to join whatever is the best server PS is facing when they move up.

Anyway this is one of the things that will kill this game and tbh considering how mediocre gw2 is it does deserve to be put down and reworked

The website is great, it’s creator did what anet could not: make something useful for dungeons. However there is a problem atm with the population going down its impossible to get an overflow. People are offering money on the lfg site in order to get into an overflow so they can group up.

While this gives me a great idea of how to make easy cash by hunting overflows, this is not exactly what I would call having fun

There are a lot of bugs like that check this vid out.

I’m not sure if anything is done/ can be done about this

It will not happen no need to make clones of threads that already exist

Yeah between that and the T6 mats required for back items i feel like anet has givn up on making a decent fun game

Anet is pupming out content that doesnt make sense and only adds bugs to a humongous pile of bugs.

Until the bugs are fixed I will never from when someone uses an exploit

Hi I was rcently told on these forums that I needed to go to an external website in order to find groups for pve content because it seems a lot of people gave up caring recently.

So that’s all nice and everything but it seems this only works during peak hours, as its impossible to group up with people from other servers.

Anyways since this is surely on of the soon tm features i guess i’m gonna go find something else to do for now

i dont understand why they dont just bann all ips coming from china, that was done on a few mmos and it cant hurt

If you buy used stuff yeah why not, other than that you’ll b playing with an unbearable resolution

I dont know if he suffers from some kind of mental disorder but this thread makes no sense whatsoever (presidents?).

Before finding the right part of the forums to post into he should make sure he makes sense.

So the answer to your problem lies in the wonders of psychiatry

This is probably a famous one but with the karma cursed shore human ranger armor female all one handed weapons clip with the skirt looking thing.

i dont know if its related but hwen I search for arachnophobia it doesnt show up however if you search for … you will find arachnophobia and a couple of items

I’m having htis problem + the random obstructed even though the mod is in the middle of nowhere

I also have this problem

this problem was common right after launch, I think the solution was to wait for a server reset

So today I was doing fractal 6 and as usual someone disconected ( i’m used ot it now so no that mad anymore, 4 manning fractals has become a source of fun amongst the peopel I know ingame).

But htis time the funny thing is that when the person reconnected we all got teleported back to LA, we had 5% health left on mossman and it was our 3rd fractal in a row.

Thank you anet for adding more bugs to the game everytime you do a patch.

I’m not sure anymore if htis is a bug or a game feature but in 12 fracture runs we’ve had 9 discos between today and yesterday.

I understand that disconnecting players makes end game content more difficult and that its one way or prolonging the content but it’s getting slightly annoying now.

Especially since players cant rejoin fractal group once they are in (this also happens for dungeon) group btw.

so can we get MF out of the game?

I agree this is a fail but not for the same reason. Why cant we invite someone when someone DCs? its not like DCs are rare in gw2

Great so now you’ll have to link your armor in chat before starting a dungeon adn it’ll be gestapo style.

It’s time to remove MF from armor and give everyone a small boost to drops.

Lets face it why are so many of the dungeons still bugged?
Whats the point of making new content every month when some bugs have been around since release?

Today we ran a TA spider and tree path. We got ot the tree with 4 people because one had just vanshed after a couple of discos. We wipe so we decided to get another person.
We tried a few people from our server and they couldnt end up in the same instance as us. So one of the people just ragequit and there we are.

Hasnt this bug been around since release? Yet the focus is still on making new content that a lot of people dont particularly want (halloween).

Please anet start consider fixing bugs and quit making stuff that people dont relly like (look at the reactions on ascended items and underwater combat in fan forums)

Right now gw2 has stuff to learn from every single rpg game that has pve content

Wouldnt the best way be to remove idiotic magic find from the game and boost drops a bit.
Its not like it does any good to the game or serves a true purpose

it’s stopping me from doign the dungeons i want to do. thats more than enough. Sue SE isnt bugged but who wants to run SE

no. Once again I dont see why people that know the dungeons well should be penalized

I was in that group. Thanks a lot anet for the waste of time.
Somehow half of the time i’ve spent since I was 80 felt like a waste of time (halloween event was the summit of this)

Can friendlist prevent bugs? niice

I fully agree.

Instead of giving us uninteresting events like halloween fix the game

Well at least the dungeon didnt bug on you. was doing ac earlier and hodgins suddenly stopped responding.

Why did we get useless content like halloween or the 15th nov stuff when most of the stuff ingame is still bugged.

I have no experience in game developping and I dont pretend to teach you how to do your job. But the current cof gate exploit seems like an easy fix to me an invisible barrier around the gate( like we sometimes encounter when doing explorin) would do the job fine. That or an extra boulder.

I beleive that the community’s feedback should be included when tuning dungeon. The kite room is atm overpowered. Very simple way to nerf kite but promote fighting have spawns of one silver meler two bronze archers, the waves do not just appear out of thin air they run into the room from the circular room that to the left when you leave kite room. If this is too easy add a regular mob or two. When mobs inside a dungeon are harder than the end boss something is definitely wrong.

no skill or teamplay is required atm. A bit of luck, the perfect team setup maybe or a good exploit.
The random oneshots annot be avoided by skill. the kite room in cof cannot be killed with a balanced group.

You havent done cof yet…. so why are you here?

Yeah I agree I hope they do what they did to cof to every dungeon, but at the same time remove cash rewards. If the noobs want cash they can just craft and sell on tp.

Ohh and can we add perma death too, I hate it when noobs die

COF atm isnt a challenge, UW used to be a challenge, play other mmos youll see

Getting these armors = end game. so en game is grind, simple.

UW really felt like a raid like you were going to hell and werent coming back until every thing was dead.
Explorables are more lik: oh there is this guy over there lets do a 20 minute walk get one shotted once in a while and the end up fighting a boss that is easier to kill that his minions

If you want to extend the time it takes for the dungeon make the mobs 1 silver rest bronze or normal and space out the spawns.

Dont do what was done.

I mean wth before you make things harder at least fix the bugs in your game. Atm Dungeons in gw2 have less polish than any f2p chinese mmo

I’m sorry but the game has not really improved isnce realease. Stability has improved and thats it

I did a couple of runs yesterday, when it doesnt bug its doable. Of course that is if you dont fight in the kite room and your team is full of warr guards

:) and the latest patch removed all guilds from guild wars oh boy

I’m strugguling ot find how some people find the dungeons fun in this game. So far we have nothing to do at level 80 other than die and respawn in dungeons. I did everything there was to do in GW1, it took me a lot of time. But with this bigger and better guild wars after 3 weeks I feel like there is nothing left to do.

Regarding Cof I must really say that nerfing it (even though a team of wars and guardians can still kite it easily) before fixing the bugs in the instane is really insulting. one out of every two runs mag buggs.

One time we ended up being able ot loot an extra chest because we were all dead when the door exploded but it considered that mag dies before the time ran out o in the end we killed boss got chest than redid the door blast while mag was safely resting in the boss room, got the chest for door part and then we were able to reloot the end chest.

I dont know if this is a one time thing or if people are able to farm that but its a pretty nice bug.

Anyways instead of making everything impossible to get because you left A LOT OF BUGS in the game it might be time to iron out the bugs and make things doable (cultura armors anyone?) for the regular people.

PS: if someone from Anet staff feels that I should have left the instance when it bugged and that what I did is vastly immoral and I deserve a ban; go for it. I paid the 60$ for the game and considering it’s state atm it sure seems like I have nothing left to do in it.
