Guild Wars 2

They ‘Black Listed’ all the current/old passwords … so you’ll never be able to use the old one again … I think it was a ‘blanket blacklist’ so no one (without exception) can reuse their old password …

Although I understand the principle behind this particular case (they found a huge list of GW/GW2 passwords on the net, or something similar)

My nephew & I attempted to clear the Centaurs, this evening, from Wallwatcher Camp, Kessex Hills. We’d start by taking down the ‘Trampler’ at the entrance, then the Sharpshooter near him, & before being able to start on the dozens actually in the camp I am knocked off my feet by the Trampler I had taken out not more than a minute ago … as I turn my attention to take down this new respawn the sharpshooter has respawned … not eve given a chance to attack the majority inside the camp … in a perpetual fight with the 2 near the door … this went on for over 20 minutes before we abandoned our attempt to retake the camp … there is absolutely no point whatsoever, any mob you kill will respawn back in 30 seconds anyway …

Will my server ever be not ‘Full’?

It’s based on how many people are logged in at that time. It’s up to you to find a quiet time and get your nephew in then.

Thank you … we just checked again after reading this & it was HIGH, so we have instigated the ‘Transfer’ & now he is on my server :-)

I just bought Guild Wars 2 for my nephew. The plan was we’d team up … afterall, this is an MMO, right?

However, my Server is FULL.

So, I WANT to team up with my nephew, but I can’t? Will my server ever be not ‘Full’?

As if the 1001 things wrong with Guild Wars 2 isn’t enough, when I do make the effort & bring in other players I am still thwarted?

Make that 1002 things wrong :-(

I would just like to add my tuppence worth here …

… I know there are some people who absolutely HATE “solo’ers”, but if I had known in advance that many of those haters were now working at ArenaNet I’d have not bothered buying the game.

Guild Wars 2 has to be THE most Un-Solo’able MMO on the market today.

At level 30 I may be scaled down to level 12 & have to face not one, not two but four (4x) Level 14’s (conning Red). Needless to say I don’t survive more than a few seconds.

I have played Guild Wars for 7 years, I have been playing since June 2005. I know for a FACT I will not be playing Guild Wars 2 that long, I already dread logging in & currently only do so because a couple of my friends are playing it. But when they leave, & they will soon, I doubt I’ll be a regular player. I’m just NOT having Fun …

‘FUN’ (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Fun?s=t)
? ?[fuhn]
noun
1.
something that provides mirth or amusement: A picnic would be fun.
2.
enjoyment or playfulness: She’s full of fun.
3.
a concept ArenaNet are attempting to remove from their games.

Seems to me you looked at how players are able to enjoy soloing in every other mmo & tried your best to prevent that.

I’ve written numerous /bug reports about the horribly poor ‘scaling’ system … a great idea but poorly implemented & players not even given the choice.

I dread going into caves, I’ll kill the first two mobs, but the first one has now respawned right on top of me whilst fighting the third, & when the third is down & I turn to fight the first again the second mob respawns … & then, from nowhere a Veteran appears …

Saying nothing of the Ascalon Ghosts … doing an event to protect a Charr whilst he set up some machines … & 7 Ghosts suddenly sprang up! How the heck am I supposed to fight 7 mobs all focused on killing me?! I was on my own, no one else was within miles of me & there was absolutely no way I could take down 7, I was ‘scaled’ to level 16 & the 7 mobs were a mix of 16 & 17’s … there was also a Veteran too, not sure if he ‘popped up’ or if he is near that area & was aggro’d.

After being a 7 year fan of Guild Wars I can honestly say I am starting to Hate Guild Wars 2, it’s just not Fun. :-(

For the vast majority of us, the issue is specific to guild wars 2 only, with the mouse working fine everywhere else (including in other games with right mouse turning)

For the vast majority of us, it also occurred a few days after release with a specific patch that was released.

Agreed. I can play all (ALL) my other games/mmo’s with no mouse issues … which is one of the (primary) reasons I spent so much on my mouse/mat/keypad.

The issue is with Guild Wars 2, NOT my mouse.

I just came here hoping I would find a thread on this, the only other option is that my mouse is broken.
I have a Razer Naga Molten Edition on a Razer Vespula mat.

Guild Wars 2 is the only game I have this problem with. ArenaNet are usually pretty quick at fixing stuff, as is my experience in Guild Wars … my only fear is that they are not even aware that there is an issue :-(

Dixa.6017:

i mean if a change to the cooldown of the two least used illusions in pvp makes you think the class is broken then the class was not for you in the first place

I think you missed the point …

Sylosi.6503:

People whining about soloing / levelling up, who cares? No MMORPG is balanced on the basis of levelling / farming stuff in PvE, in every MMO there are classes better for farming or that level up faster or can take on more more mobs, etc.

Um … MMORPG = Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.

The first part (MMO) means it is a huge, persistent world.
The second part (RPG) means players take on a ‘Role’ & play as that ‘Role’ through a ‘Journey’ as they grow stronger & more powerful (Leveling).

Thus MMORPG is VERY MUCH about leveling & as such SHOULD be balanced upon that.

If you wish to trivialize the leveling then I would assume you would prefer Battlefied, or Call of Duty, which are certainly NOT an MMORPG & thus the emphasis is more on the PvP …& ‘balancing’ skills based on that is perfectly warranted.

Even most people in ANet tend to forget that Guild Wars is NOT primarily a PvP game. If it were it would certainly have not have lasted 7 years & Guild Wars 2 would certainly not have even half their current player numbers.

If Guild Wars classes are going to be ‘balanced’ based on their PvP game then it is 100% necessary to Split PvE & PvP skills, as they are Totally Different Games.

I only play PvE, & I have one of each class … my Mesmer is the weakest of all my characters.
In Guild Wars it became pretty apparent that Mesmer was primarily a PvP only class for many years until ANet finally fixed Mesmer for PvE …

Deja Vu …

:(

I play ONLY PvE, & have one of each class … taken them all to at least 30 so far & of them all my Mesmer is by far the weakest class in Guild Wars 2 … I was aghast when I read the nerfs …
I play 10 levels on each Class, then swap to the next to get 10 levels & my Mesmer’s 10 levels takes twice as long as all the other classes, as she is so weak I have to be very careful on the battles I enter … have to rely on waiting for other players to come along to complete Skill Challenges (whereas all the other classes can solo most).
Just like in Guild Wars, the Mesmer was smashed in PvE & will soon be exclusive to PvP.

I am assuming these are knee-jerk PvP Nerfs with no thought whatsoever for the PvE implications.

I noted in the last patch that some Skill Challenges had been fixed … any eta on when the rest are going to get fixed?

Swift Arrow is one example …, Dominion of Winds, Caledon Forest (Underworld Server).

He’s been broken about 5 days now.

‘Underworld’ & just got back in. Fortunately no ‘Server Rollback’ as some are reporting …
