Guild Wars 2

why does server transfer cost more than buying an entire new account?

If you had all cosmetics in this game for free, then right now, there would be 5 ’There’s nothing to do in GW2’ threads in place of this one. Probably even one from the same OP.

“There is nothing to do in GW2 but grind for overpriced cosmetics” is just as bad honestly.

the end of beta with the shatterer taking over plains of ashford, corrupting waypoints and players, and the destiny’s edge crew running around to try to stop it was way cooler and more fun than any event in the real game has ever been

why did it take years for you to start doing this??

This is not necessary. And why would anyone use gems to buy transmutation stones, they are easily obtained.

People who want to constantly change their looks everyday would want this.

But you can farm them, I’m down to 10 minutes per stone using Rata Sum map completion.

grinding for an hour to change your outfit ONCE is horrible

count weapons and it is even longer!

sorry but a bad player getting kicked for being bad isn’t abuse

sometimes the problem really is you

Don’t know if it’s been asked or not, but I see the topic come up every so often.
What was the main reason for WvW gear being unsalvagable? What it for an economic reason? Or mechanical?

As it is its fairly easy to get, so I could see having a large influx of ecto because of it. Also having to rebuy runes could be part of the reason. But otherwise it doesn’t make much sense. Instead of being able to salvage directly, what about being able to be forged?

A lot of different factors go into decisions like that one, but economic effects were part of the decision process for sure.

it’s really scummy there is no indication you can’t salvage them, I have a bunch of junk armor with nice runes I can’t get out now

thanks for this amazing feature

Speaking of which, has it been considered at all to give us a way to tick off showing the green star stuff at the top?

We have a feature called the Content Guide that allows you to customize what is shown in the upper right. You can disable Personal Story tracking from the General Options menu.

this is pretty useless, I want to turn personal story in the corner off completely, no green star or text visible at all

the personal story is awful and I never want to see or do it again

charr problem so never

charging money to use skins you have bought/collected really makes this game seem f2p scummy

putting something you might actually want in them was obviously a bug

if you complain enough over trouble ticket they might give a gem refund

make sure to mention how the item no longer functions like advertised when you bought it

Chuck.8196:

In my opinion gaining 6g every 2 mins is somthing that should be fixed.

They would soon be worth nothing if everyone could do it as much as they wanted.

Now imagine a holiday event where you could actually get all the holiday rewards without an insane amount of gold or grinding. Not with Anet!

Hmmmm…

Fellblade?

I’d do it for fellblade.

maybe.

mhh. mmm.

~gets comfortable on fence~

you will be mad when you see how the GW1 one looks better

and you can dye it

the bubbles that are supposed to protect you from boss projectiles also stop your projectiles so you can’t attack it or defend the minions

so you buy bag space with gems to be able to hold all the keys you need, or just give up and never open a chest again?

some of those models are bugged on charr, bringing them back would mean they have to actually fix charr problems, so it will never happen

devs actually confirmed the boxes are in the game!

just at fractal levels not unlocked to players yet huehuehue

why was that asura even there? she literally did nothing

this is probably just so china players can get the jade skins

Those are for people who think they are good, but are both actually easy to get. I would be embarrassed to wear either.

Duke Nukem.6783:

i hope they NEVER bring any of them back again (even the ones i want) this game is totally lacking in respect for the rare items of people who already have them, u cant just make more everytime somebody wants them? wheres the prestige? the value? the rarity?

“I bought it from the gem store” is hardly prestigious. And it’s pretty scummy and disrespectful of you to not want other people to be able to dress up like they want to because you have it and want to be a special snowflake.

they are too lazy to actually design legs and chest so they just put the rest of the armor set at impossible to get goals

They wanted to make the system similar to GW1, since many felt the game as it was to kitteny and too easy.

They changed the wrong things.

How is it wrong? It is great that you want to discuss but you need to actually expound on what you are talking about.

We may get more skills but not like GW1 (as many of the skills in GW1 were absolute rubbish and were never used). We will not get skills to cap – that is not how this game works. So, beyond those – what else is wrong?

GW1 – want a skill? go kill boss whenever you feel like and get it
GW2 – want a trait? go sit in one spot for an hour or longer waiting for an event to start to get it

Good. There is too much ugly spam particle effects in this game already.

pretty sure you could do this in beta

sport sunglasses
medium and heavy are bugged, light uses the correct model

correct old way on left, bugged current look on right

they broke my female charr’s glasses model, and knowing how anet treats charr players they will never fix it

if we do this then people might want a special set of non combat clothes to wear too

how crazy would that be?

this has been a problem since release, and anet pretty much said charr stuff isn’t worth fixing to them

I would literally rather not have this patch at all just so I can keep my cool town clothes outfits.

I can’t freely change my town clothes that I paid real money for. I literally paid for specific pieces to mix and match to look good. This is garbage.

all the minis in set 2 suck

free gold I guess :/

because we played GW1 and this fails to live up to it in almost every way

Valandil Dragonhart.2371:

OP, yes you are correct in general about the nature of dev’s not being able to connect with (the majority of) players.

Regarding the feathered armour, yes it’s quite sad. It’s based on a pre-existing skin (again) and for gems that you’d have to fork out for this armour, I’d have thought they would have gone back to the drawing board and started from scratch, considering the amount of QQ’ing uproar generally heard about this. To base it on yet another armour (whether it was popular in the game or not) is purely farcicle. I can see why some people want their gems back.

it should be existing armor because the medium and heavy are, it would almost be even more insulting if they remade just the light version into something custom

it is pretty scummy to just release retextures for gems like that anyway though

-promise leaderboards, never deliver (stupid idea anyway)
-promise fractal weapon box, never deliver
-add ascended armor to the game, forget to raise fractal level cap now that people have enough AR for harder stuff

Historian to replay past events is too GW1 for this game

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Bonus_Mission_Pack

if you want outdated features like that go play GW1

can’t put bound items in the guild bank so it is useless

gw1 managed to release full expansions of real actual content with box sales alone, why can’t this game?

f2p that you have to pay for for some reason

Hopefully Wizard’s Tower will be a real update and not 2 week disappearing garbage. I would rather have them not ruin another thing from GW1 than do that.

They said the set 1 pack will be coming back with special sales anyway

real answer – They are all made by different teams so they don’t flow well together. The teams have also individually admitted to having to cut stuff they wanted to do out due to the forced 2 week release schedule, so everything is a disjointed mess even within a single patch. We will never again have good content “when it’s done.”

FateOmega.9601:

Only the backpiece is gone. You can still get the mini.

the cool thing is gone, but you can still get the garbage

great!

Anet hates GW1 players because they expect GW1 quality updates

they would be happy if all the GW1 players quit forever and stopped complaining

MeGaZlo.9516:

Greetings. Timid rumors (no spoilers and details) reveals promising yummyes.

They’re planning something radically new and different, that wanted to implement a long ago, but did not have time (ths to impatient producers, as u could guess). The new path will be full of different puzzles, alternative ways, hiden rooms and secrets, with chests at the end, ofc. Not without reason devs mentioned that there will be something to do even after killing the last boss.

As I understand, they’re going to redo all the dungeons in future. You must have noticed that present dungeons are full of empty places, some (such as AC) even have obvious unfinished puzzles. Chests and mobs planned to be there. So think about this like a first step to a readjustment in all dungeons, like Tequila is the first step to readjustment of all bosses.

I think this is a neat attempt to find out the opinion of the players and, after evaluation of feedbacks, they’ll decide is it worth it.

so the game is finally close to getting out of beta? does this mean we will get guild halls too?
