Guild Wars 2

No I won’t and I had bought the large package on this one. I am beyond disappointed in this expansion. I took a break when they had changed the talent system and came back after they changed it back. I am not sure this is possible with the changes they have made to the game in this expansion. I do not even log into the game anymore. I should be looking forward to logging into new content with it barley making a month and instead I am looking for other things to do with my time.

I also supported the game with gem purchases and I did not even buy anything during the sale they had because I flat out refuse to give this game anymore money. I do not play f2p games because it always feels like things are gated behind massive time and money sinks and that is how gw2 feels now. I was here the moment the game opened and I stayed up to log in the moment HoT opened. I loved this game. I do not feel it is for me any longer though.

I loved exploring the game. I liked that I could play any weapons and talents and make my way through things. I was excited about raids, but now we see how people want dps meters, meta builds, and are ready to boot people and they have too because of the timers on the fights. That is not what I signed on for with GW2. The one thing that I will give WoW credit for is that if a person does not enjoy gear grind for raiding they can always go back to see old raids and try for the mounts, pets, ect. That will not be possible in GW2 as it is right now so if you are not a raider you will never see this content.

Maybe they can change things, but I doubt it. This seems to be the direction they want to take. I no longer log in, so no I will not be buying their future expansions.

Thanks for all the replies. I just wanted to state is is not the difficulty of the mobs. I really do not die that often to them when I go slowly. It is the sheer amount of them everywhere! I had 3 map completion characters and was going to start another before the expansion. I like looking around. I like doing hearts. I like finding hidden jumping puzzles. I like talking to the NPC’s that will respond to me. I like getting map completion on my own- I find it relaxing.

In the new maps there is none of that. I walk a little and there is a pack of mobs. I cannot explore the areas. I kill things and they respawn very quickly. I cannot do map completion on my own. I am having some serious issues navigating the maps and if I tray to stand around to figure it out I am attacked over and over again.

There are no hearts, which was really disappointing to me. I thought it would be more of the old world just in new areas. I guess hearts are a thing of the past though and I should not expect more. I am not sure if there are new jumping puzzles, as I said I have a really hard time in the new maps just getting to look around.

I like doing events. I like event chains. I do not like trying to find these new events- it is really hard to tell where they are on the map. Many of the times I get to an event and there are not enough people there to complete it so I am killed. The event chains last way too long. I would say 30-45 mins start to end is reasonable, 2 hours is not and I am not sure why it is being expected of players.

In the end, I just wish this was a new area with the old area flair. Instead it is— I am not sure what it is. I guess a hardcore Silverwastes farm?

Thanks again for the replies. I love(d) this game. I love my characters. I just really do not care for the new content and it just really disappoints me since this is what I use to do at night to unwind after the kids went to bed.

I know people really don’t care about my opinion but I just want to voice my opinion in hopes that maybe something will be taken for future expansions. I was so excited for this expansion and I love the elite specs. I also have enjoyed the story I have gotten through so far. I really do not like the maps though. I have tried to get better at getting around but it is beyond frustrating. I love gliding and I understand the maps were made with gliding in mind but they are so hard to get around. I absolutely despise tangled depth and still do not understand the meta event there and not even sure I have seen it happen.

I have tried for a few skill points now that seem almost impossible. I have called in map chat and sometimes a person will show up but not most of the time. I really have grown to hate the champ skill points that are also encased in veteran trash mobs. I clear them out only to have them respawn while the champ is active. I get that harder content was wanted, but why not make it so 2 people could finish these? Also, the mobs just over all in the maps just seem way too much. I like killing stuff, but it just seems excessive.

As for events why are they so long and require so many people to avoid failure? I liked silverwastes where I could jump in maybe do some defending and if I had time I could make it to vine wrath for the big chest and then do the maze if I wanted to afterwards. Every part of this event chain rewarded you and if you could not make it to the end it was not that big of deal. The event chains on the new maps seem to last forever, and most of the time they fail from lack of participation. That really does not make me want to try for more on the map. I feel like my time is wasted attempting them and the amount of time invested to see a fail is just way too much in my opinion.

Anyway, I know people don’t care, but I had to vent. This is the only game I play and I don’t even log in with new content up more than to make my daily cool downs and to get the log in bonus.

This is still bugged. Too bad too because I liked Canach and wanted to see that story line. I went through once and he did give me the shield but the bombs that I hit at the blighted Canach did not damage him so I let myself die so I could look up what I was doing wrong. I tried 2 times after that and he never gave me the shield again. He just stood off to the side shielding himself.

Any chance at all for a consume all on the new lodestone pieces?

I like that we can click for the new lodestones, but why is there no consume all on those? Is there a way we can have this added?

I really like these when I stumble upon them but I am having trouble knowing where to go for them or even getting to them. Am I overlooking a mark on the map for them or a way to get to them?

I am trying to figure out what sigils I want to use in HoT but not sure what this one will do for me. Does it effect conditions, phantoms, or clones? Does it effect our shatters?

Hmm that is too bad. Ty

Well I tried to get the hp in creeping crevasse with a champ there. I asked in map and 1 person showed up. The expansion is out 4 days and only 1 person shows up for this? Please make these so you can get them on your own this is just not going to work.

Arnath.2319:

Also the map system is currently broken leaving maps with less players making them feel empty, once that is fixed it will be super easy.

Has this been confirmed? I find it odd that the game has not even been out for a week and I am the only one at events but I have not seen anything that says this is a bug with the maps.

RapidSausage.4620:

I don’t mind the difficulty as long as there are people around, the challenges themselves are not what bother me, it’s the mazes i have to go through to find them in the first place if anything.

I do agree with this. I am hoping though that I will get use to these maps and they will start to be fun to navigate. So not complaining about that because I think that is more on me to learn it. :p

And now I just tabbed back into the game and this is what I see from another player http://imgur.com/PPAv6oK

People cannot complete the skill points without paying other players?! Oh my this is not going to be good in the long run.

I cannot get HPs from tyria. All of the characters I like have map completion. I am not starved from HPs I just do not understand why they made these so difficult. I do not understand why there was this drastic jump from the old ones.

RapidSausage.4620:

The only one that i think is truly hard so far is the one with the Balthazar champion, other than that you only really need a couple more people (which are not hard to find) to finish.

And you’re forgetting the fact that the new hero challenges gives 10 points instead of 1, you don’t expect ANet to just hand them to you do you??

No I don’t expect them to be just given to me but when I cannot even port back to complete it that is a problem. I also am pretty concerned how the maps are going to be in a few months because honestly there are not many people in the areas where I am now so how few will there be then? I do not understand why it was such a huge jump from the old skill points to the ones now and yes, I get that it is worth 10, but really that is just so they can make up for the huge number you need to get the the elites.

Why did it have to change from something you could do on your own to something that takes a such a large group? There are a couple I have attempted and there were at least 4 others there and we could not finish it. After we were killed there were no waypoints that were open so we could release and come back. That makes no sense in a game design.

I was disappointed that Halloween was lumped with HoT and now I am even more. I really wish we could have just had Halloween before HoT it would have avoided this and there would be people doing the events.

In the old lion’s arch there were 3 or so kids that you could give candy to for trick or treat bags. Are they gone or am I just not seeing them?

I like this new feature, but can I not move the ground target if I want to move it to another area if I check this box? It seems that I cannot move it after it is locked on to the enemy. Please tell me if there is something I can do so I can move it with this checked Thanks

It told me what to do for pack commander? How do I see it again? How do I get the mentoring badge and know where to go for the other things there?

I have 46 points and I cannot spend them. I am told that I need to unlock the mastery but I for the life of me cannot find any panel that tells me what to do for unlocking it. Who am I suppose to talk to for this? Where do I go? Is it on the achievement panel? I am not sure how I missed the instructions on this in the game but I did and I am so confused on how to use mastery. How do I know how to unlock the masteries to spend the points?

Where is the achievement or recipe for this?

Ah ok ty. I was very confused with this.

I see the tab but it is locked and I do not see instructions on where to start to open it from. Could someone please tell me how to start this?

I am curious if we can try out the elite specializations in the mists if we own the expansion. I cannot decide which one I want to focus on so thought I could try them out there a bit more before I plunged into the new content with one. Thanks

My feedback on the druid. I really like it so far but on the staff.
The # 1 skill sound is really not something I like hearing over and over again on the auto attack. I am not sure what sound it could be but a thud thud sound is not a good one in my opinion. But that is a personal thing so whatever :P #4 skill on the staff- Might need to be targeted. I have many npc’s just move out of it so it really does not work for the immobilize. I could not imagine how bad it would be in pvp where people can move out of it or dodge very easily. I have not tried much for the cleansing part of it.

For the healing over all- I cannot see health bars out in open world even with names turned on unless I mouse over the person. So I cannot really effectively use the druid heal skills as effectively as they could be used. This may not be the case in raids and dungeons I don’t know, but it would be helpful to have health bars as an option to turn on.

That worked. Thanks!

Yes I do have windows 10, I have had it for a few months but maybe I just did something to it I will try this. Thanks.

Also to add- normally it remakes a screenshot folder for me, but it is no longer doing that.

I cannot take anymore screen shots. I have 1 full folder that I moved a couple years ago, and I have had a new folder until last week. I moved that one and the new folder that started (the 3rd) only has 11 pictures in it, but I get an error message in game that it is full. So I deleted the new one and it still says full folder. What is going on here and how do I fix it?

My input for future events:

1- I like loot from mobs. I understand the reason behind taking the loot out but even in silverwastes I hate killing things with no loot.

2- Events need rewards. If I stay for the whole event I would like to get a chest somewhat like silver wastes does- especially if the mobs will drop nothing. I also appreciate getting karma, experience, and some gold for the event completion.

3- Do the math to ensure that your rewards are somewhat attainable without a person playing excessivly. I would say that if a person cannot earn some awards with 1-2 hours a day play time during an event then it is not a good reward system.

4- Way too much time in between invasions. If an event only lasts 4 days why is there so much time in between doing them. For a person to see all 3 maps it takes 2.5 hours. That is insane- even for a 2 week event that amount of time is not something that I find enjoyable for events.

5- The stacking buff. It makes sense you want to reward people for participating. This buff for the increased reward though is not the way to go about it.

I just have to say I agree. No loot, karma, or anything from mobs or the events sucks. The rewards are unattainable because of the amount of blooms they decided to make them cost. Waiting forever between events is dull. Bleh oh well I guess it doesn’t make me feel bad not getting to spend much time with the event.

I agree. It was just not fun to play and I was really hoping to play a thief in hot. I cannot put a finger on it. I also find the 3rd dodge with the damage attached very odd to use. The damage after I land is kind okittenward to me.

I was wondering if we have been told or could be told how the raid lock outs are going to work in this game. Are people going to be able to enter a raid multiple times but only get loot once a week, or are there going to be complete lock out and once you complete a raid you cannot enter again until the following week?

Well I am not sure I can change emails

Please be aware that we are able to assist only the original owner of an account with any support issues. Selling, sharing, or giving away a game account is a violation of the Guild Wars 2 User Agreement.

They think I am trying to sell the account?

Perfect. I wrote them. Thanks

ok thanks so much. What if I already made an account with all 3 emails- If this gives me issue how do I delete the new account to change the email?

I am wondering if it is possible to change the email and account name between 2 accounts. We had bought the game for our 3 kids to share 1 account. With the free to play announcement we got 2 more accounts so they could play together. I want to see though if we can switch the email on 2 of them because the email that was registered to the paid account is not being played by the child whose email was used, but I do not want the child who playing to lose their character, so if I could switch that account to her email I would like to.

Hope that made sense :P and if it is possible what do I need to do.

Thanks

I have recently joined a large guild for the first time since I have started playing this game and I now realize I never know who is typing in chat when they are on multiple characters. I wonder if we could get the option to have guild chat show our account name instead of the character name? Or if that is already an option could someone please tell me how to do this.

Thanks

I was just curious why we have to go to this area to queue up for a match.

I am curious if this is something I should focus on. My points seem to be all over the place depending on the games, so I am not sure if there is point I should be trying to aim for, or if they really matter. So I am wondering should I be focusing on this and if so how many should I really be aiming for in a game?

Thanks

Thanks for your help. I think I am going to try out the eagle using the traits you mentioned baba. I tried out scholar and they are pretty fun, but I get hit too much for me to be totally comfortable with the set bonus.

Thanks again!

Well I was not looking at keeping fury as a buff from the rage runes. It seems like it would be a constant 5% damage increase from the set bonus. That is what made me look at those.

I was curious how these worked for the thief. I saw most guides suggest scholar runes, but I am worried about the 90% health stipulation for them, so I was considering maybe eagle runes?

Thanks

Edit to ask about Runes of Rage as well and how they would work with No Quarter. They seem like a pretty strong choice as well.

I have decided to make an ascended set for my thief and I was thinking maybe celestial? I don’t do speed dungeon runs or anything too serious so I thought this may be a good all around choice? Would this be a terrible choice for a casual thief?

Same all locked.

Also SW achievements are gone.

Mine are showing that I have trained them in the training part, but I cannot spec out of the 3 trait lines that I had before the patch. It says they are untrained.

Ele is the only thing I do not have to 80. I love the idea and animations, but cannot play it.

Yeah. I see it does change the cds of the other 2 skills, but even those the attack speed is not changed. So I guess only half of this trait is working? Have they mentioned fixing this? I would love to use the scepter and if they fix this I think it would make it an amazing weapon.
