Guild Wars 2

yea.. i finished it too.. this abominable excuse for an achievement.. put on some discussion video on youtube to keep my attention and proceeded to brainlessly kick random people…

10 hours later, the agony was over, and i can finally continue to play the game normally

Yasi.9065:

Im not really angry about that achievement being difficult or grindy. Im angry about it going totally against gameplay and resulting in people camping spot or whole groups destroying games to get that achievement.

Why couldnt it have been 1k assisted kills (or even more)? Its STILL grindy and will take a while, but without it going against gameplay (as you are supposed to kill stuff, right? as in opposed to just interrupt stuff and camping one spawn point).
Or maybe 1k killshots (last hit).

wow, seriously? 1 k killshots? just try to count that.. if there are 5 players, and each kill gives 20 points, and we give all players an equal amount of kills during the game (500).. that means you would get 5 kills per game…i think even the kick achievement is less grindy…

yes please fix it.. or at least say that you wont fix it.. now, i have hope that they will nerf it, but maybe they are just ignoring the problem… we need to rabble more then! #occupydragonsgaze2015 (i tried to goto twitter , but didnt see anyone raging too much.. are they modding that or what?) .. anyway… im at 50%, spent countless hours on it, ragequit countless times.. and i say.. the sooner they nerf it , the better…

do you think that if we bump this to le frontpage, someone will actually see it and change like 1 number in the code for 1 second and make everyone happy?

and all the people that are “blj blj.. you are not supposed to finish all achievements in a day”..

ofc not.. look how possible and logical the dragons health achievement is, and how impossible, bugged and luck based this dragons gaze is… its unnecessarily hard, and an utter waste of time.. and it could have been prevented by just playing one match before shipping it

3 days and im at 30… dragons life or whatever is at 85%… so i will have to do 100 more games and waste my time on this bs .. just because noone even tried out the achievement he came up with.. i hoped yesterdays update would fix this but no.. just some useless stuff.. ugh

… should have tried it for himself and calculated millions of hours needed to finish it…

and then slap himself and bump it down to 50 or less

Bump

Dear anet.. please just make it that the stun counts, not the interrrupt. It takes me 10 stuns to get 1 interrupt, and i can place maybe 3 stuns per game if im lucky.. if my only objective is camping for the 4 buff and searching for people.. while others try to win

Hi guys.. i have been farming skins for dungeon collections these last few days.. and today i start arah track and it seemed awfully slow to me.. 2 wins and i didnt even cross the halfpoint. It was very fishy, so I decided to do some detective work.. hopefully someone can shed some light on this

I want a gw2 hot box, please .. but i also wanna play on the first day
PLEASE

can someone link me an official statement.. this is one of those things that seem to be in the grey area.. like selling dungeon paths.. which i found is legal after moaning about it for years..

You guys do realize how this may just make them NEVER bring it back. If they cave to this kind of “pressure” (not that it in any way matters to Anet), it sets a precedence they likely don’t want to make….

Just clean up the mess a week from now when this dies down and I’ll be sure to wave as I pass thru Rata Sum….good luck.

I was about to post exactly what you said. No way ANET is going to give in to this. They’ll be setting a bad example.

what are you talking about? since when its US vs THEM. anet isnt the government. whats their incentive to work against their customers.

SAB is my favourite mini game in GW2

I have loads of stacks of bloodstone dust, dragonite ore, and empyreal fragments, hoarding them in hope that i will be able to exchange them one day for something useful, be it even 1c from the vendor.

Static.9841:

Can we please not nerf everything just because self-entitled person X cannot beat it, when person Y can. We don’t need watered down content, we need decent challenging content.

Can we please not nerf everything just because self-entitled person X has beaten it and doesn’t even want common bugs to be fixed so he can have an excuse for spending 50g and 50 hours on the “easy” content and feel pro about himself.

Since the Queens Jubilee update, the amount of people selling party places for Arah part 2 and 3 is steadily growing. It is done via a third party website we all know about: gw2lfg.com. Prices range from 5-7g. It is obviously profitable for the sellers. They promise accepting you into the party, and letting you kill the last boss which is “on 1%”, which gives you 3g back, experience and 60 arah tokens. Similar things have been done for the Aetherblade dungeon.

I think this is bad business and a cheap way to make money, but there is no option to report these kind of people. So i was just wondering if its a big deal or I am just overthinking it.

Kuzzi.2198:

There are many hardcore players who have been waiting for harder content and now Anet finally gave us some (although we still need some hard Team content)

Please don’t take this away from us. Anet releases plenty of content for the casual players, so please don’t make them nerf the only challenging thing out so far.

Yes, elitism and further separating casual and hardcore is really what GW2 needs. The despicable attitude of CoF1 farmers towards anyone who doesn’t meet their build requirements will now transform into a new kind of elitism: “LFG xy… have liandri mini or kick”. I know plenty of great players who don’t yet have the mini because of the obvious shortcomings such as bugs and lag.

Queen’s Gauntlet will return, possibly as part of the activity rotation or even other events. In any case, you’ll be able to complete those achievements at a later date.

Please note that it’s very important that the achievements done later should be retroactively assigned to the Gauntlet tab. We don’t want a new tab with new achievements like you did for crab toss and other activities.

Thank you for the clarification, Anthony! It’s very reassuring to know that, if a player just doesn’t have the gear or the skills to complete the Gauntlet at this time, they can try again at a later date when the Gauntlet returns and they’ve had a chance to improve themselves.

I’d just like to echo pavo’s request that the achievements remain in its existing tab and not get a whole bunch of similar (but new) achievements like we did for Crab Toss and the other activities. I’d also like clarification that the Liadri mini will also still be obtainable if we complete the Gauntlet in the future when it returns.

Actually, I noticed the Belchers Bluff was just transferred, fully with all my achievements and no new ones. So doing the same with Queens Gauntlet shouldn’t be a problem.

…I can only think in beating her. And since I don’t have tickets and I’m bored of farming them, I feel annoyed and waste my time in other things instead of playing gw2.

Devs need to understand that this is a complete deal breaker and kittenblock. If they can turn a blind eye on all this then i might as well go play some other game that listens to their players. I know it has been only a few days, but the utter absence of any official on the forums regarding this issue is infuriating.

Korval.3751:

According to like 99% of the people replying in this forum Liadri and the rest of Queen’s Gauntlet is absolutely perfect and doesn’t need to be touch.

Wow! Who would say something like that? The amount of comments of dissapproval is overwhelming. I sincerely hope this wasn’t said by an official. In fact, I would be surprised if nothing would be done about this. If over 9000 people would be angry at me, I would give it a serious thought to give into their demands. OR AT LEAST GIVE SOME SORT OF REPLY.

Super Adventure Box was one of the best updates. 1-5 people coop fun. Not too easy, not too hard. Easily accessible. That is now being switched with 1-5 insanely unbalanced Candidate Trials, and this crazy gauntlet. They could have put it in pvp, so people could spectate from first (third) person view. Its so easy. No Queue, no complaining, people sharing experiences and no lag.

Jamais vu.5284:

Seeing all those well-formulated and quite lengthy player responses (I’m being sincere) makes me realize that Anet probably doesn’t think of us as the “casual” playerbase they so often mention when certain design choices come up. As in our feedback isn’t representative for everyone.

Even though it’s wrong. A lot of us are casual players. Not being satisfied with their current direction and making a lengthy, in-depth post about it doesn’t necessarily make you part of the vocal “hardcore” minority.

They can make hardcore content, but making it also temporary is a major flaw. Gauntlet should be optional, under “Activities” tab or something, being able to be beaten at the players leasure.

Seriously, if nothing is done about this update, after all the kittenstorm that has been a-brewing for the last days, people will loose all faith in Anet. Maybe even stop playing. Its their turn to respond, and the clock is ticking.

AppleHack.7340:

Exactly, it is completely unfair to anyone who doesn’t have money saved up, or 8 alts, or has a bad comp.

I can’t beat her on my iPhone 4 so she should be nerfed.

A very inconsiderate, elitist, ignorant thing to say. Plus, no one was talking about a nerf, just equal chances at the given challenge.

The rewards for completing a tier 3 gambit got nerfed from 8 silver and 4-5 gears to 2 silver and 3 gears. How about at least giving back what i put in? Even if I get 15 gears to buy 5 more tickets, I am 10 silver in the red. I get it, the nerf was needed because some people made a whooping 1g profit per hour -.- , but why make the rewards so unrewarding that anyone doing gambits doesn’t even break even. Did the devs imagine it as: “getting achievements and gg, never to be played again” gambits? If so, then gj!

You get extra jubilee achievements under Daily Achievements

Marcus Greythorne.6843:

First of all, if you make achievements which can be achieved by every player, you can’t make challenging achievements. There will always be bad players who can’t beat a normal veteran alone… I definitely don’t want that. I want challenging achievements where you might hate the game at a point, but overcome your weakness by becoming better through trying out different builds, different things until you finally get it. Then you truly can be proud of your achievement.

This is absolutely false. The major issue here is that getting better requires lots of resources. People have wasted tens and tens of gold on changing builds and getting tickets. OK, you can make it challenging if you want, you can make it impossible even, BUT PUTTING A TIME LIMIT ON IT IS UNFORGIVABLE.

The most painless thing to do for devs would be putting the gauntlet achievement tab into “activities”. That way, all the non-pros and poor people have a fair chance to get it in the future.

It seems like the only ones opposing being anything done about the gauntlet are the ones who already have achievements. Its natural to wanting to be the best and wanting others to miss the chance, but if you are sure in your skill, why not giving everyone a fair chance. If you want one-shot kills you can always brag that you are lvl 72 in fractals.

Marcus Greythorne.6843:

I’m sure that a player who want’s to become stronger and learns how to play the game has a fair chance to beat any of QGs bosses. It’s just a matter of getting the mechanic, there’s a trick to every(?) encounter.

What is the trick to lag? Also, getting stronger is a process. One that my take more than a month.

Venirto.4208:

People are complaining because of the time limitation. You have to do it within the next few days or it will be gone (forever?). I do support the difficult content in the game but I hate when it’s time limited.

Exactly, it is completely unfair to anyone who doesn’t have money saved up, or 8 alts, or has a bad comp. OP can have his bragging rights, its no problem, but the opportunities should be leveled. Now, if this was done in pvp, where you can change builds for free, and have a little instance, that would be different. With things like they are, people will have 9/11 completed challenges and it will hount them for the rest of their GW2 time. I respect your wish for wish for being able to brag, but understand that with all the update achievements being able to be done up until this one, it would come as quite a shock to your regular semi-pro ocd player.

Devs should really stop ignoring this topic, posting only generic answers with no prospects of improvement. The very least that can be done is putting the gambit arena in a solo instance after the jubilee ends, and make the achievements be retroactively obtainable. The time given to get all the achievements is too short. I have real life obligations and cant spend 12 hours a day farming and wasting tickets and cogs. I know that people look down upon ones who want all the achievements, but if i cant get them, i dont know… might aswell stop playing (i have 2500 hours of playtime).. i just need it…
