Guild Wars 2

Overal I really enjoyed the beta. Events were fun, mounts incredibly well implemented, map looked good en much easier to navigate than HoT maps (which I didn’t like). Only thing I hated was unidentified gear and mastery points locked again behind minigames.

I don’t know, out of all the MMO’s I’ve played, GW2 is one of the least complicated.

Yes please.
We should make a post about this every day.

Hickeroar.9734:

It’s funny that people complain that this game is easy…

Coming from the WoW world where everything is handed to you on a silver platter, this game is downright hard by MMO standards…

I really hope you are joking …

Wow, this looks awesome. Definitely going to use this.

I prefer them spending more time writing short stories than making this happen.

Zoltar MacRoth.7146:

But what about all the sigils and runes? Do you TP them, go back to a merch or just delete them?

Yea they do clog up your inventory so as time goes on you need to salvage more often. But it’s usually not a problem and I just sell them after the looting.

Zoltar MacRoth.7146:

But seriously, I’ve wanted to ask – how do you multi-looters deal with all the loot? I have all bag slots filled and on just one run I run out of space. Do you wp back to the central city merch to sell stuff in the middle of looting or bring your own merch or what?

Salvage while you loot, then deposit materials.

Follow zerg, die, waypoint, run back, repeat.
So much fun.

I’ve been getting extreme ping spikes since a day or 2. When I run speedtest.net my ping is 30-40. I normally have 70-100 ingame, but now it’s always 300-400 and often goes up to 2000. The game has been unplayable for me the entire day. I hope it’s just a temporary thing.

Playing the TP is probably the most rewarding if you know what you are doing. Otherwise just do AB multiloot farming.

Hi,

I was wondering if there were any glider skins obtainable that don’t require gems? Like as a reward from a collection, rare drop, etc.

Thank you

Can’t believe this still isn’t fixed. Had the same problem today. I can’t clear the beach because some mobs are stuck in the destroyed tower.

We should make a topic about this every day. With all the different builds that the game has to offer, how is it that such an important feature hasn’t been implemented yet?

Baseball caps and aviator sunglasse in a fantasy MMO …
Never understood this.

Probably because those people enjoy the changes and game direction.

First time that an MMO expansion couldn’t hold my interest for longer than a month.

What’s the point of this thread? Devs are gonna keep on posting on reddit while the official forums remain underused.

For me it’s simple. I only buy items I really want. If it’s part of a bundle with items I don’t want, I don’t buy it. Conclusion: I’ve never bought a bundle and probably never will.

Does anyone actually like that they are going to change the meta every quarter?

I wonder why they didn’t add any normal/old tyria style maps, I love playing those.

“we never want things gated behind failed events”

Yet things are gated behind failed events. How do things like this then get into the game I wonder? Don’t they check it or something?

OP: No one is nice anymore – laughs when killed 2 people in WvW

Yea I wonder why they got angry?

Faren: I have learned the ways of the jungle!
Baroness Jasmine: you’ve only been gone for a few hours …

Love this guy

“What prayer could Anet have heard and answered?” is what I thought when reading the title. A few went through my mind.

• Fixed precursor collection bugs and NOT requiring an event to fail
• A fix for WvW
• Undoing of the visual nerfs and/or added spell effect slider
• Unnerfing the dungeon rewards
• Adding more categories to the LFG tool

and many, many others.

While all this was going through my head I opened the thread to see what it was about. Only to find out that they added something to the gemstore. Have I been trolled with this title? I don’t know. Maybe my hopes where a little bit too high. I’m still happy for the OP though.

ProtoGunner.4953:

But you get rewards, nearly 1g per path. For the time you invest (15-30min) it’s not that bad. And it’s fun to play with friends.

Remember: never play for rewards, the journey is the reward.

• You don’t get nearly 1g per path, it’s much less (unless you’re talking about Arah)
• stop telling people how to play

I’d give it a month or 6 until they add this.

Hawke.1094:

Raids aren’t designed for people who’re satisfied with the normal standards. Raids are for those who want to face the challenges. And those are the people who actually work to improve themselves, and their gears.

Agreed, raids need to be a challenge. I just don’t see why getting gear for raids should also be a challenge.

Most favorite: Timberline Falls, Metrica

Least: TD. Of all the MMO’s that I have ever played in my life, TD is the absolute worst zone I have ever experienced.

Precursor crafting is fun until you get to the actual crafting part.

500+ posts and no official response? They just don’t seem to care what we think.

http://www.mmo-central.com/2015/05/15/blood-and-sand-or-oil-and-water-why-mmorpgs-just-dont-work-as-esports/

Start the hype train!!!

• They seem to post more on Reddit than on their own forums
• They nerf dungeon rewards because they don’t want us doing them
• They nerf various skill and spell effects

Do these guys even like what they create?

winterchillz.2564:

Guild Wars 2 one year ago.

I don’t like saying it, but I kind of agree.

All for the sake of esport. Just give us a slider already.

Couldn’t agree more except for the title, should be:

New visual “improvements”

For kitten sake, give us a scaler!

Thanathos.2063:

It’s not a real problem if you, for example, complete VB on all of your chars (I have 9 and it gave enough XP to get me way ahead of what was needed).

Thanks for the advice. I hardly play on my alts but I might now go do HoT map completion with them for the exp.

Kraggy.4169:

/sigh

Time was in MMOs you had horrible grind for gear, now it seems Anet added horrible XP grinds simply to be able to explore maps.

/cry

^^This. I’ve done all meta events in HoT multiple times, VB 100% explored and the other zones about 85%. Problem is I need masteries in order to complete the last 3 maps. To get masteries I need to grind the meta events again (or do those silly adventures), which I don’t really want to since I am already bored with them. Too bad we can only gain the exp in just 4 maps. Not too mention most of the masteries are uninteresting. Grind millions of exp just to be able to see a specific mob, jeej.
Still having fun playing the game though.

+1
This was one of the reasons why I stopped playing my engineer.

And yet another thread is turning into one of those mega threads like dungeon feedback or SAB. Lots of people complaining and not a single response from Arenanet.

Will Lucky.8703:

So is this due for today or for later on in the month?

Really hoping for today, but I doubt it.

Rayden.3695:

silverwastes all the way, simply because the amount of champ bags and other loot you get simply stomps tarir meta to the ground.

^^This. It just takes too long to gather enough aurilium to buy keys to open all the chests under Tarir.

I wouldn’t do it. Low level zones are empty. Leveling is boring as hell and takes forever. I still have some friends that play it but they are hardcore pvpers.

While it was a nice gesture, people weren’t asking for this. I’d rather have a few extra categories on the LFG instead.

Not to mention all the kitten players that use open world section for fractals, we should be able to report this.

Good guide, but I won’t set another foot in that horrible map.

This thread is turning into same kind as dungeon feedback or SAB. Hundreds of posts from players that aren’t satisfied and not a single word from Arenanet.

Do we really have to wait that long for legendary armor?
