Guild Wars 2

Anyone notice that no one is responding to any of the recent complaints .. My game keeps shutting down. The only way I can play it is in low detail without it crashing as much.. Something that never happened before and still dont happen on dry top map ect ect I cant see my asura ranger druid close up because of the dumb place they put the F5 above the healthbar. And I am betting the rest of my asura professions will look the same.when I get them to that point. Very disappointed on the HOT upgrade. The rewards are far from worth it .It is not fun to play, Going to move on to other things You are not the only game in town.. Maybe in a year you will figure it out..

STOP crying all the time , sooner or later they will fix it. If you want no problems at all , start paying montly fee so they can have more programmers to minimize or fix bugs a lot faster , AND THATS THE TRUTH LIKE IT OR NOT ! ! !

What kind of person wrote this?
We paid for a working expension. Never in the history of the universe was there a more expensive expension. And for some people it’s unplayable because of the constant crashes. And now you want us to pay more every month, for them to give us what we paid for? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Uninstalled the game on mac, it was to frustrating

Indeed. We have every right to get what we paid for.

I have gotten 3 copper fed and 2 silver fed salvage tools. I have 8 permanent harvesting tools, 3 extra bank tabs, Faren’s rapier, and I pre-purchased HoT. I have paid my way in this game and to imply that ANet deserves MORE of my money to fix their product when this is the business model they chose is offensive.

Kindly consider that next time you open your mouth and imply we deserve to pay for inferior product.

I agree some of us spend lots of money on this game from keys to outfits to holiday items.. And they should had worked much of this out before release.. Many of us gave them money upfront for a working expansion..

This is what I see of my asura ranger/ druid close up since the addition of the F5 overtop the healthbar.. Some of us bought outfits ect ect we can not even enjoy anymore.. It would had made better since to put the F5 and celestial bar over on the right hand side 7,8,9 . Sorry to say I wasted many gems on outfits that i cant ever see close up again.. I can already assume nothing will be done…Since your support referred me to here.. And lets not go into all the other bugs.

The system is not that great when it comes to fractals/dungeons.. It has been getting worse and people do not want to play it. .If you do not have a certain build/character you will get kicked a many time before you can get on a team that will play it. It definitely will not please a new player that made the wrong choice of character that just finally hit 80 thinking they are going to do these types of events with that character.. The whole system tends to push more players away than entice them to play. Short of joining a Guild that they might not want to even be part of or to do the research on what character to play the game with. and new players should really not have to research what characters are deemed acceptable for certain content in game..

Don’t join lfgs asking for what you don’t have and you’re fine, really.

Then I would suggest that ANET tells players up front what to build.. Most of us already know what the lfg system looks like…and it is very limited to say the least for certain builds.. because some players starting out with one of the 3 undesirable characters are rarely going to find a LFG that will accept them…

I liked snowball mayhem.. For as many activities that is not played in game and many of us know which ones those are .. Anet should slowly replace with new content and see what the players like.

The only thing I do not like about it is the fact of attempting to push players in areas they do not want to play in. And the fact I have to jump over to my 80 just to do the daily since my 50 has not traveled or completed some of the areas for the daily. It takes time out on me working on my new pixels..And that is less XP I could be gaining on my new pixels..

I run a ranger and i do not think it is needed. Third GW2 is not a FPS ..

Lore books would be nice to bring back..

I was looking this over tonight… I see 35 laurels a month.. previous months I could get 38 to 41 a month depending on how many days per month there is.. So I already see a decrease there.That is not counting holiday events that happens a couple times a year..You can more those months as always. Now as for working on my new character now I have to break away from that to do the daily.. Hence lvl 20 character..And since I have a 80 lvl account guess what I have to go on that account to do the daily and not work on my level 20… Something is not clicking right here so just because I have a lower account means i can not work on it because of this new policy if I want to do my daily..Basically it has been forced on us to do this.. For some people the new system might work but I see some flaws in it already… I am holding some serious judgement on the whole new system to see what they do to change it.. Companies do not change things for the players benefit 90% of the time..

There are 13 28-day cycles in a year, and only 12 months per year. You can’t compare the cycles 1to1.

Only one month out of the year has 28 days for the complete month and that is February…

The new system resets every 28 completions. If you are logging in every day, it will reset 13 times in one year, not 12.

new system 13 x35 =455 old system 365 for 365 days and 12 months 10 laurels per month equals 120 .. 365+120 =485…. kitten smart phones o.O

it needs to be broken more than what it is now…Some players are not going to do PVP WVw . Before most of the player could do the daily on 2 maps. Now you gotta hop around it seems ..And from the looks of it we might not get the laurels we was getting daily. From the looks of it 17 laurels for the month.. I dont know I am going to give it the benefit of the doubt and most likely will not do it. The last time they pulled this was they was trying to push more players into the fractuals.. I left the game and put my money on other gaming.. when it changed I came back..Time will tell if it dont suit me there are plenty other games to play…

I tried a new character and it was deleted today.. I will play my few other characters that was created before this new trait system was forced upon us.. If ANET thinks these types of updates will win over new players I have a feeling they was terribly wrong.

I am having the same issue Character becomes invisible ..But mine comes back to visible After switching maps..It is very annoying I am going to vid it send in a ticket..

Right on my world i can not play it .. But every other map is running 60fps. Even turning down has not helped.. I will give it another try in in a day or two perhaps too many players are maxing out the map…

I noticed one of my alt are missing trait points .I rarely play this game due to constant changes ..I know my alts had more points than what I have now… It is bad when you work to get them and now they gone…

Gw1 was better in skills. And yes I do not play Gw2 nearly as much. Lack of skills in the classes in my opinion hurts GW2. PVP in some ways is better.

Well i seen a blog video they are working on traits and cleaning up classes , And thats good but i just dont like the fact im stuck with same skills in 1-5 slot , im guessing this is what you mean ?

Yes indeed GW1 you had to go here and there to get certain skills for that 1 to 5 slot. I had all of them in Gw1, here I am stuck with what they gave me.

Flamenco.3894:

I miss random arenas. Also, one thing that made GW1 pvp fun was that you could create so many builds. Too bad Anet made it that each weapon gives you a set of skills, which I find to be of a, no offense, kitten tier.

So true!!

The rewards for many events are not great at all anymore. This is to keep people playing so either they can afford to buy that special item or get the items to make that special item… The longer it takes people more of a chance they might buy a few gems ect ect ect. It is a business first and foremost.

It all spells one word grinding. I got to 80 without that and I got exotics without all the seek and find duck and dodge craft craft craft gather thats grinding period. They have changed the daily and monthly and it all it tells me there is nothing consistent with the game. Its like having one of those bosses that writes everything in pencil. The reason they do it because it is easier to change things when they see revenue or game play is not going their way. And it is to wrap up people in the game for a longer period daily. To me Gw2 is a diversion only at this time.. It all kinda reminds me of JAGEX and the reasons I only visit there.

If you got tons of time it is not that hard. But if you are on a schedule got life stuff to do work kids school ect ect ect it can be unattainable. In addition to the the dungeons that are not set up for solo play.

Agreed on all of the original posters comments

I started back playing after a 4 week break. In 3 days 3 chests only.. The loot is not as good as it used to be but it is what it is cant change it. at times it is pretty sad when armor repairs are more than you got in loot. This is including my 80 lvl account.

I do not think you will enjoy it anymore now. And I will leave it at that.. A few things have been fixed and others are just there..

It is like several other things they do not want to talk about.. Hey I got a inbox msg on buying gold . Did they want to hear it no especially when they come to forum inbox.. Botting has pretty much killed these types of platforms years ago. As long as the drop rates are bad and there are people who just gotta have that one item there will be botting… And I can safely say most of these games have bots and always will have bots.

Ya my 80 account is lazy sure!!!!! BTW you are in the GW2 dynamic events not player helping other players….. running around randomly on the map is one thing but remember you are on forums now..

I have done a few events no drops and i was there from beginning to end. LOL even my 80 had the same problem. I dunno glad i dont spend much time playing this anymore. Its not good not getting drops. and i predict if it keeps up the gold farmers are going to do a bumper biz with people buying coins to get gear..

Ahhh I see smoke and mirrors … i will check back again soon

Well I still have not seen a reply from the mod that asked for examples so many have been listed. This will be the first day in 19 days I will log in to see what has changed… Still waiting for that answer 19 days plus 15 days from my last posting and there was many days before that. I will check back again soon..

It was working at one time KryoKore. But it has not for sometime now. I tend to think error messages go from server to server go figure how many servers we all play on. And i do know its not a pc issue with six pc’s in house,. But thats another issue that should had not been posted here….MY BAD.

Well I have a post up A net mods asked for examples and plenty have been listed. Now we are on day 15 I am thinking and no response HMMMMMM. People would like to see a response to their questions . Its like buying a burger but your burger was cold and the burger establishment tells you to file a complaint with regional office. You file a complaint with the regional office and they tell you well we are just a third party service answering these types of complaints only.. You need to talk to corporate then you complain to corporate just to finally get the response you wanted to hear in the first place lol. Basically if they dont want to see complaints then the forum should be shut down to them and they should be directed to a email response only. It always amazes me how many people look at the complaints and want to rant because people are making complaints. Most people that have that free time would be playing the game or doing something better than reading the complaint section.. Myself I have one up and its the only reason I look at this stuff. Basically if you are enjoying your game why are you wasting time here reading this LOL. Now I am heading for sure now to GW1 to finsh that last story they updated. I have seen all I needed to see here.

No and at times you still get that error .I logged into GW2 four times in 3 days got that error twice. I just logged off no sense wasting my time on something that was not working properly. Waste of time spending coins to go to trading post and it dont work. And people using that trader express tool they got to be really ticked off to get that error message and lost the few gems they spent on it. But I might be expecting too much due to the game only being out on the market for less than six months..

I am not going to read all the posts on this topic but most gaming forums do have a rant section…

15 days no response figure I would check the forums since black lion trader is down again . Second time in two days glad I used that express product and it failed.. Since Group events seem to be a selling point in this game and there is hardly no groups doing them well at 8 am my time. Still wondering when or what is going to change about this or will there be no answer.. Heading over to GW1 finish that last story line there.. Happy gaming GW2 players ..

Thirteen days and still no response from the mod that asked for examples. I will check into this again in two weeks.

Is it just me, or do I see a lot of problems here? Now I’ve been playing for only a couple of days, but I must say that I’m extremely disappointed. I won’t go into all the details, because this is not the place. I bought this game because of all the reviews and discussions I’ve read stating how easy it is to solo in this game. And that to me is a major selling point. Now I’ve tried out all of the classes, and I was hoping that all of them could solo in their own way, which I have not seen. It seems that the content is only solo-able with a higher level. I have had several incidents already that have been needlessly frustrating. I’ve also been playing MMOs now for over ten years, and I’ve played all kinds of classes and games, so I’m not new at this. It just seems that this game still has major balancing issues that need to be resolved.

Same I am actively playing 4 MMO type games and there are issues within this one. Last night I was in Iron marches and Patrol the wall with Rexavian Redfoot and the “Garbage Legion” was stuck on sillyness. The event that followed that one was stuck and I had several deaths . Went back there this morning and soloed it with no problem. Did I change anything on my charcter? answer is no… It shows me there are issues within the game and it is a platform under constant upgrade as we all know.

I really would like to see a answer by the mod asking for examples. Thanks to many of the posters on this topic there are several examples. Back to Happy gaming time

All these games tend to be a full/part time job for many players.. I cant do that too many games and i have friends in all of them.. I give each of them a little grind time then its off to do real life stuff. All the MMO’s are so different in cash gathering . On one of them I cashed in most of my RS bank spaces to ready it for non subscriber bank and had 450 mil while on my wow account I had 100 gold GW2 I have upgraded my 80 to exotics and have about 10 gold leftover not much considering to what many others do a day. People want gold to buy better items and that last step of items are very costly and all MMO’s have those

tonyl.5063:

Guys, games have successfully made crafting endgame content. It’s even been done with exploring. But this game just doesn’t offer any of it.

What you have to understand about this game, you can completely finish every map, have BiS gear, and the skins you want. At that point, what is the point of even logging on? You really don’t see a problem that your character can be “finished”?

The push to new gear skins is a good idea, but shouldn’t be the only goal. The life of these games depend on someone being able to constantly have long term goals to work towards, otherwise, you were better off just making a single player game.

One of the better posts I have seen on this topic..

There is many areas that are not easy solo as the game matures it is a given that fewer will be on the lower maps and most are gold farmin in dungones.. Or map hoppin for that next chest.. And its part of the game so I expect it to happen but when the put a high dollar amount on gear people are going to do it.. I run across players everyday they are not doing the events they want levels and the best equipment.. Thats the way they want to play so thats cool they bought the game they play it how they want to. The rewards on the map are no good thats why they are flocking to dungones.

I am like you I have several subscriptions going with other game providers. And the way I see it I will keep my other subscriptions. You are going to get reply’s from everywhere and everyone plays different and have different ideas on how to play.. Myself I see GW2 as a game attempting to use the original success of the GW1 series to get another number one in gaming for a year or two.. I am seeing not as many playing most of the maps are dead unless you got a team hoping from map to map to do a champ that has a decent chest. Or they are doing the dungones for the armor/cash.. Also you wont make the in game cash here like you would in other games. But go figure GW1 was the same way in that department though. MY advice dont burn your bridges yet until you test the waters here for 12 weeks that will give you a better idea.. I would give you a idea of a few other gr8 platforms to play but it might get the post locked up.

I normally get a rare a day but I only play a hour or so go figure got other games I play.. And the ones I was getting was not in a chest…

I am thinking they made a new drop adjustment or maybe its just me.. Has anyone noticed yellow Items are not dropping as much. As for the person that says they only need 50 silver that’s good for you but not all the players would agree. I merch all the drops for my gear and you will need good gear and foods if you plan on advancing to far or you will be a ko farm and paying for repairs 100s times a day.. The game is like most games of this type getting needy for cash.. This is not the only MMO I play and others are like me we have and are seeing the changes that are going on industry wide.
The game is like life adapt and change is everyday..

To the person who says deaths dont matter as long as you are having fun hmmm. You must have a unlimited coin bank to fix that armor.. So much for saving for the nice armor eh. The other game I played you lose all your Items on death. Death rarely happened.

I wonder if they made it harder in some areas I used to never get Koed due to massive amounts of npc’s now I occasionally die. I have my suspicions why but I am like all the other players at the mercy of the developers. Maybe its due t these Xmas events the server is a tad slow..
80 ranger depends on where I am at is how much I die. Anymore than 5 times a hour is to much with armor repairs on exotics.
41 engineer Dont play it much its not worth the time to raise it to 80
31 Elemental Disgusted with it to many deaths with little rewards.

Great postings I seen a few postings on champs not solo able a few minor ones are but it is hit and run . Kinda bad that they are holding good drops and no one can get to them. Iron marches is my hour of game time today.. Hope fully we will get a answer on some of this but I do not expect one till after the holidays..

Some areas there are lurkers other 0 just me. I actually did not realize that there was a scale on events if thats the case then we have a problem. Some of these events can be soloed and other is just leave it and walk away. Metrica on my Ele starting out was a KO fest and understanding they are the lightest armored one I have tried I guess it is common. Even my ranger had a few issues there and another player told me that the non human areas starting out is harder. How true this is I dunno. I am one of those player I expect to get koed But that ele was a huge wake up to me especially starting it out this so long after initial start up of GW2. I am starting to make a list of these areas I am having issues with and I wish I would had started it a long time ago..

Thanks to all that have responded to this posting and have described many of the areas better than I ever could. There are some events and puzzles that are easly done with my lvl 80 that is geared up nicely. And there are others I try with my other characters and I hae them in good def gearand just cant get no where. The ele character has been the hardest of the bunch at times. Again Thanks all that has posted .

I just seen a comment on how GW2 is play the way you like and it is far from that. There is no real building here not like in Gw1 where skills was purchased and you could take up a secondary to build on.. And in many areas you would have to gear the character to win with attributes and skills it would not normally use.. Go figure I still play GW1 on occasions and still say that a game you can really play it like you want to.. I am not knocking GW2 in the ground here but it did miss out on so many things that made GW1 a number one game.. Maybe that is some of the reason we are not seeing the huge groups of players anymore.. Gw2 is a good game but it will never be GW1 and I realized that after a weeks of play.

I just see a alarming rate of not as many people to do the events . Eventually something will need to be done no one wants to keep paying for repairs to get nothing from a event.. Still no real answer from Arena net on this issue I see. Also I am running into areas that are definitely areas where two or more players need to be involved jump puzzles especially in a couple of map areas. Also the decision on dungeons being part of monthly is discouraging and basically tells me they are not interested at all in solo players. That’s the huge difference between the GW1/GW2 platforms. I can already see that this platform will not be a long term interest to some people I would state my reasoning on this but my post would most likely get nuked for saying what I am thinking . Well no response speaks volumes at times. I am going to quit monitoring this thread and move on to more productive things
