Guild Wars 2

Ghettoblade.7962:

I had a slight addiction before the patch..now that they sucked the fun out of the things i was addicted to..I am as clean as a whistle.

Did you know real bad addictions have people in denial?

Didnt you know denial is a river in Egypt

sucks when an mmo is like smoking.. easier to quit with every patch….

a sure sign things are moving in the wrong direction

eisberg.2379:

Not a problem that I am seeing.

But your thread would be far more effective here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs

Post this thread there to make sure the devs see this.

i know but this issue needs addressing immediately

im just surprised its not put there already

plus a bunch of people are dying and think they are just off thiergame today.. when they are not

if i put this in bugs.. nobody would see it and it would just be more flotsam

i noticed this doing a jumping puzzle .. i hit jump and and then it jumps a second latter

lots of people are noticing this

its not in my head…

fix it!!!

make an Oculus rift version of the game…

buy the dev kit arena net.. its only like 400 bucks lol

got this just after patch… just trying to talk to a new player…

and get this you have posted too many messages block

this was after 3 / says

with typical .. this way.. dude.. or

we need this mob….

i found standing around at the entrance to whatever instance asking helps.. not in lions arch though to many trolls and fractal spam already

if you’re on darkhaven message me ill help

Nashiem.8932:

I personally think the game is runing great. In pve you get your mobs around events and then people go their own way. If you go to pvp or wvw there is tons of coop. It is a great balence and I think it works. If you want to get a party for pve just go to LA and spam a few times Im sure youll find someone there.

i guess my post went off topic?

but the main post was.. the empty feeling when playing the game.. other than pvp or the 5mans…

… back to my point again.. why are there no raids!!!!! in a game called guild wars…

but then it goes back to lag blah blah blah…

circle of life…

DON’T TOUCH ME YOU FILTHY CASUAL

i get what the op is saying though…

lets all get pitch forks and meet up in seattle

UnderdogSMO.9428:

morrolan.9608:

When you:
- are perceived as breaking promises and core ideals
- having poor class balance which is getting worse
- release content patch after content patch with more and more bugs
- are perceived as not moving fast enough in improving the game and fixing issues
- appear to be funnelling players towards buying gems
- have one of the more unrewarding games around
- are perceived as screwing with players via anti player practices like DR
- are perceived generally as providing poor live support

then there will be negativety.

so right as people have been saying EVERY MMO FORUM EVER!@$#Q@@$

the problem with this forum i have found so far… is

THEY HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN LISTENING TO THEM… for good and bad…. mostly bad

Dante.1508:

I only really see a lot of players on my server in two places, wvw and Lions arch, so assuming its 200 per server x3 in wvw (i believe 200 is wvw cap) and another 50-100 or so in LA etc rough guesses probably fluctuates..

Outside of that i see very few people other cities and queensdale are the next highest and then the zones i can count the amount of players on my hands in open world areas..even orr has dropped considerably of late..

And this is on Sea of Sorrows which has Oceanic and US players online 24/7. i hate to think what its like on some of the other servers, i actually consider myself lucky to be on SoS..

im on darkhaven from what i have heard around… its one of the most populated

but who knows.. i never believe the server status on populations in any game…

but you are correct.. the starting areas seem packed .. but i have noticed more players

in leveling up other chars.. which is what i do mostly…

and when i ask them to group.. no reply.. say hi.. i get hi…

then they run off… try to talk in chat.. get shot down for being a troll or by one…

maybe its not the game but the real world.. economy blah blah blah that is attributing to this anti social trend in mmos?

has the troll affected the mass mind in such a way?

i think im getting to deep…

it just a stupid game.. and i want to have fun not think about reality

devs are never held accountable … jesus this must be your first mmo

i have played them all and even when they have done the most game breaking patches… policy changes even billing changes…

never have i seen them come to bear…

sure theres probably the odd instance of a dev .. lead or otherwise fessing up in a note of apology or something along them lines

but its not like we can start a class action law suit… i mean you signed the yes i agree check mark…

with out reading it.. lol

if i made my dream mmo.. sure i would have a forum.. but everything i put on it would be trolling the players…

in the end i would never listen to them.. and do what ever the hell i wanted…

if the game was good enough … they would like it…

hey wait a min.. that sounds familiar

korgoth.5924:

i found as a rule… if you are a new player DO NOT READ THE FORUMS…..

whether you believe it or not the negativity or bias towoards whatever class or subject will rub off on you

this is the power of suggestion…

how do you think certain governments not naming names stay in power… when the people out number them a million to one

the good rule is play the game on your own with no help what soever from forums .. just the other players you encounter.. after you experience things and form your own opinion … then venture into the depths of depravity…

….. 2 cents

But then you won’t know about the 101 bugs in the game that could get you broke in game

broke money wise or game play?

i never even visited the forums on this game since beta untill i got my first 80…

and the said… bugs that affected me were already know to me… mostly

“There are mortars and cannons that can assist the fight, but note that these environmental weapons may not be available due to another previous event in which the mortars and cannons could have been destroyed.”

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Slay_the_Shatterer

hey thanks!

kinda lame you cant repair them…

i noticed the guards near by run and rebuild them when the blow up

…..

oh snap.. just got an idea..

use the mortar to pull a near by mob to attack it.. when it blows up the guard will repair it…

korgoth.5924:

so… the games progression is in 5man instances?

and if the games sole purpose is pvp…. why is there even pve?

im confused..

guess you cant please everyone but… still this is an mmo but the pve is broken?

great now im more confused…

I ask the same question, I don’t like it at all either; but it is unfortunately the way it is, fastest way to make gold and easiest way to gain exotics is in dungeons. And the only way to gain ascended is in a single dungeon.

However, I do think it’s getting better. Ascended gear should be available in more places within the next few months, and Colin Johansen stated that the big patches coming in Feb/March will principally be improvements on the existing zones to give players reasons to play in the open world again.

i get what you are saying… im the kinda mmo player who could care less really about end game grind

i liked the ascpect of meeting new people and just having a blast doing whatever.. or helping other players …

i think they should let legendarys precursors drop from pve off any mob.. super high chance though…

would draw alot of people to it …. AGAIN JUST MUSING….NOT SUGGESTIONS MOD!

i could see people saying botters blah blah blah.. would ruin it blah blah blah…

thats the devs problem.. well not really since the stupid economy in this game

but other mmos did just great with out price fluctuations that would make the real world stock market eat a bullet…

blah.. im just ranting now..

Nuka Cola.8520:

even tho there’s lot of ppl in LA their character rendering SUCKS. A person walks 5 meters from you and boom he disappears… what are we in 2000 when ps2 was launched? This is one the things that pisses me off. When you’re exploring a zone you never see any1 because 5 meters from your character other people are invisible. So bad design. yes, i know, anet defense force will always bring the “its so the game runs better” NO its called not using a sucky engine that runs bad on 1.8k gaming rigs, zero optimization and crap, complete BS character rendering.

i agree.. i don’t know if this was a bug.. that never got worked out but they had to launch.. and are working on it now… crosses fingers…

but i initially thought it was my crappy pc… lol but now i think it is just to keep down lag… a dirty low down underhanded way

but hey.. i can only cry so much.. i got my 60 bucks out of this game easy…

for me to invest more money into this game though they need to work on stuff like this fast…

i can deal with the lag… but the empty feeling when running around the world… drives off alot of players i bet

so… the games progression is in 5man instances?

and if the games sole purpose is pvp…. why is there even pve?

im confused..

guess you cant please everyone but… still this is an mmo but the pve is broken?

great now im more confused…

it’s times game of the year? tones of people playing?

why does it feel like a ghost town?

please devs.. this is a core mechanic that needs addressing.. asap

maybe if there were guild raids in a game called guild wars there would be a reason to be in one.. other than an active …. slightly more so chat

guild keeps in a guild pvp zone would make people work together on a larger scale too

please do not move this mod… i am just musing not making suggestions

the main topic is this game feel so empty!

i love this game but the last time i felt this alone in an mmo was playing age of conan…

deathwish server lol

and this is not an age of conan bashing topic either…

my level 22 made it to shatterer…

and the mortars are always damaged

is there a way to fix them??

thanks in advance

im starting not to care…. but hey thats ok.. just didn’t think i would fall out of love with this game so fast..

mais c’est l’amour

like the end of the last world event?

i never did the lost shores event and then i find out that they increased the chance precursors drop for the last event after the fact……

to a guy who has done the claw event god knows how many times…

this was a major kick in the junk… why?

well the obvious reason… and then theres the why the heck didn’t they say anything about this before hand….

i would have made time to do the events…

if any gw2 devs are watching.. can you at least give a hint if theres any precursors in these events?

not everybody has the time to do events with out some pre planning

don’t be like Ebeneezer and not give Tiny Tim the polio vaccine

Manasa Devi.7958:

Hi, let me repeat something I posted earlier in a similar topic. Your PC setup does look like one that might benefit from this. Good luck!

Hi,

I’ve had the same problem for a while, and found some advice for it that helped me get rid of it. If your issue is caused by the same factors as mine was, it might help you too. If you’re running Windows 7 on 32-bit with an NVIDIA graphics board, you might want to give this a try.

http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=9583842&linkID=9240697 describes how to make more system memory available to applications. It’s a support page for a different software product, but the actions it describes are related to general Windows behavior and also benefit GW2.

Here’s the relevant part:

To enable the 3GB switch on Windows Vista™ or Windows 7:

1. Right-click Command Prompt in the Accessories program group of the Start menu. Click Run as Administrator.
2. At the command prompt, enter “bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072”
3. Restart the computer.

Read the link carefully though, you might need to undo this change if your system starts misbehaving in other way. The link also has 3-step instructions of how to turn it back off.

Also, setting your resolution to “Windowed Fullscreen” in the in-game video options appears to improve things, if you’re not running like that already.

I hope this helps.

did this work… and that link is down…

ok it works on my warior.. not my guadian?

everything else loads but when i try to sell items it just shows a grey screen been like this for a long time..

does anyone else have this problem?

wtf man had i known this i would have done the event.. instead of working on an alt

i have been farming dragons endlessly for ages.. just because someone said they drop from them

wow … just wow

dunno what to think about arena net now doing crap like this with out letting the cat outta the bag

my friend you just been kicked in the kittens… said the man in the orange fro

the forums is segregation too ever post you want seen on general gets dumped where ever they6 want

why did you want to post it in general ? cause thats where everybody goes…

if you post something in subsections lucky if you get one reply

in general you can get 30 reply’s in ten mins lol

im a solo player .. i know scum of the earth.. blah blah blah .. why play a mmo blah blah blah

anyways i was doing the crystal caverns jumping puzzle in iron marches and i realized every map i have been doing nobody uses the chat

at all

i think the comunity would benifit far more from global chat… i know i know

trolls will ruin it.. Arena Net has been great imo at enforcing abuse and cheating and gold selling tells

im the type of player who likes to help others asking quesitions

or help them with an event or whatever..

with regional chat i feel alone and useless

im sure new players feel the same …

i think the community would benefit greatly with a global chat feature

a trade channel would help a lot to

What’s the point of even reporting bots anymore? The game is being made for bots only or people who think grinding poorly designed “dungeons” are fun.

I think they’ve figured out their audience now.

i report anyone not doing what they are not supposed to be doing.. this game is new and is a mmo

and this dev is great imo , mmos change constantly sometimes drastically

next year it might be a totally different game

it happens all the time in mmos

patients Danielson

I hope they ban you for misusing the report button then. If it’s not against the rules no one can say what I should and shouldn’t be doing in a mmorpg.

As for the OP, I agree. The bot problem isn’t as pronounced anymore and because of the nature of dungeons having overpowered mobs means bots won’t do nearly as good as if they’re botting in the open world.

Remove the DRs on Dungeons.
Keep them for world events (to encourage not farming the same event over and over).

i guess i can agree with that.. i mean just farming regular pve bosses and mobs… event farming should be regulated i guess..

Ultimately the players will bypass the DR on World Events though al la Plinx. It mainly punishes lazy players and bots.

my buddy said they nerfed plinx last patch.. whatever that is.. i never did that event

what the heck…! why is my text repeating???

i never said they are gone.. i said its down alot enough for me not not see them.. and i go allover the map

and a non cheating player farming is nothing like a gold selling botter

if i want to make gold in a mmo i will make all the gold i want to from farming…

again.. honest players should not be penalized for bots

again.. honest players should not be penalized for botshell if manpower is the issue.. i’ll be a gm for for nothing… just to help curb the cheaters … i wish lol

again.. honest players should not be penalized for botshell if manpower is the issue.. i’ll be a gm for for nothing… just to help curb the cheaters … i wish lolbut ya think they would have an entire team of gms who just go after bots and hackers

diminishing returns to pre bot wave state

… i have not seen a bot a couple of weeks in pve… dunno about pvp

one of my favorite things in mmos is farming i know.. some people do not like it and think its boring..

but im disabled and have endless amounts of free time to farm for the items i want

i like the idea of being able to find the components or items i want instead of paying gold for them.

i understand that Arena Net needed to deal with the problem of botting but it seems likes its under control now

please do not penalize players like me because of these so and so’s anymore

anyways i love this game.. best 60 bucks i spent in years!

thanks again!

the ones added with the October up date

thanks in advance

anet is trolling us.. because hargrove is behind a door that wont open..

seriously dioramas?

are we in grade 6 ? and lil girls?

arena net .. please lay off the care bear stuff…

lots of people are over 20 who play this game hell im over 30

act like you acknowledge us

just plain old drawing contest would have been nice..

whats your point…? i do the pre events all the time.. good karma

this is off topic

http://guildwarstemple.com/dragontimer/

it was good a couple of days back not its gone to kitten

thanks in advance

i was told to hold alt… left click item you want to split

drag it to a free slot

and let go of alt then the mouse… and a window pops up and you type in the number you want to split

this has never worked for me and is really hindering me

need help!!!

anyone have a site or somthing that shows these…

ones i have been finding are unclear at best

Enzi.5496:

Designers shouldn’t. And most of the time they also don’t read it. They get the constructive and filtered version from their community guys.

It’s probably for the best. With the things I’ve read on the D3 forums about Jay Wilson I’d never ever want to make a game again.

yea but who are “these” community guys?

i bet they do the masonic handshake to their handlers before work every day

i agree totally i think that what you said was exactly what i meant.

kitten its creepy how much we think alike

yea if you read the article i says hire community managers

Zale.9645:

Forums are filled with nasty comments because people who are content with the game don’t feel the need to express how content they are.

I never call McDonald’s to tell them how well they did, but sometimes I do to express how angry I am that they can’t even get an order of fries right. Same concept.

you would be surprised if you called or wrote your favorite company’s.. the effect it will produce .

i wrote kelloggs when i was a kid , like 7 or so… because i loved this granola cereal they had …they phoned me.. then sent over a guy with a huge box of free products and thanked me for writing them.

so ya never know.. what some kind words will get ya

http://jeff-vogel.blogspot.ca/2011/01/three-reasons-creators-should-never.html

i agree with this considering all the doooooom! threads

and all around kittengery on these forums…

i want arena net devs just to keep working on this amazing game.. and i will keep playing

i just save yellows.. and drop them in for exotics then do the same again with them

slow going.. but my char is getting decked out pretty nicely

whatever it says review.. so kitten it…

funny as usual…

i would put a link to it.. but theres swearing one swear word in it!!

kitten me!

anyway just google …

the escapist magazine zero punctuation

first link…

i don’t even watch other game reviews anymore … most of the lamewads are payola stooges

im on kill the elder dragon

people were saying the reward was bugged and it gave level 40 items

that still the case?

dooooom threads.. the bane of mmos
