Guild Wars 2

Hope no changes will be made

what gonna happen after Anet listen to these players?

solo raids?
solo world bosses?

its not that hard to find players on the same map and yes they can help you
all you need to do is ask on map chat (hope you know what is it)

hope Anet dont make any changes

its called elite specialization and shouldnt be obtainable in a day
thats what destroy mmorpgs

The problem there is that, as many have pointed out time and again, GW1 is not a MMO. It can not be used as a standard by which we judge GW2, which is a MMO. On the other hand other MMO companies have done similar promotions, which does set precedent.

Except this is not about the genre but about the business plan. It’s much fairer to compare the game to GW1 than another MMO because of the B2P approach which other MMOs don’t use. They use F2P or box + subs or combinations thereof. Totally different approach and in other MMOs I’ve played they didn’t do it this way. Some MMOs give expansion free to subs, others give different package deals for just the expansion or a combo price for core + expansion.

What I’ve not experienced is an MMO that comes out with it’s first expansion and just before it comes out suddenly decides to thrown in the core game free with it. But maybe you have an example of that.

It would’ve been wiser to do this differently. Now a lot of people are upset. More than needed really.

or they can charge you $150 for a beta access to a game that is free to play with pay to win shop like Archeage did

or ESO or FF14

GW2 HoT have already more to offer than these titles above

I’m curious as to how that knowledge affects sylvari players as Wynne’s death occured before our awakening.

For those that don’t know sylvari lore, knowledge gained through the life span of a sylvari is passed down to future generations upon death. So her secret wasn’t really a secret anymore after the sacrifice.

I’m actually surprised there is no real internal strife of self identity with a lot of sylvari around the world as Wynne’s death was quite early through the sylvari existence span even by those under the ventari tablet.

Unless the entirety of sylvari lore of their biological operations and well everything else was thrown out the window.

i can only quote wiki here

“The Dream is described as being like a well, into which memories and thoughts of sylvari are poured. The portion of knowledge taken from the dream is like that of a bowl filling with water – each developing sylvari only takes a small measure of the information and memories. The Pale Tree herself ensures that each sylvari is then equipped with essential information, such as how to read, basic living skills, the tenets of the Tablet, and the assurance that she loves each of them.”

A new home for the CDI?

What do you mean with this? Can you share a bit more of explanation?
Do you mean something like that CDI’s will get soon somethign like an own Sub Category in the Forum for example??

Or what should we imagine us under all of this?? ^^

i think its a spot with a desk in the basement, where he will work 30/7

just kidding waiting for more news its look promising

this should be considered as exploit

you can do this instance only once per account
but some ppl exploit it and kill rats only without finishing it

Teq is fine as it is now

just some ppl cant think and they think they can go under his feet and spam number 1 button

no its not like this anymore

ppl need to protect the turrets, use the cleansing and stat buff from them and most of the time you need to use number 2 ability

but yet i saw many ppl go into the turret and then spam number 1 button on teq…..

then they come to the forum and cry for nerf

same thing here i ended up with 5/6 achievements and 4 items found becouse some bugs that didnt allow me to finish it

maybe lets talk about that when you have quickness on healings doesnt works?

increasing the time of quickness just make you die faster

thanks for removing the culling and adding new options to the graphic settings

i love the character number and quality settings
can play with 40 fps in mass zergs now before i was getting 20 fps

hope Anet give the option to turn it on in PVE also the dragon events are still low fps for me

In gw1 you did fowsc/uwsc. In gw2 they want you to farm gem store. They don’t want you to make money, that’s the secret. Everything is acc bound/souldbound on use so you don’t sell and make money. Drop sucks in general and there’s no end dungeon unique skins like Crystalline/Eternal swords were, which you could sell and make tones of money. Here this doesn’t exist… that’s why everyone is ******* about gw2’s drops and is unrewarding. The fact that i have nothing to grind for skin OR money doesn’t make me want to log in at all cuz what exactly could i be doing? Nothing to do.

ohh yea soo true
then explain me how i can make 10g an hour?
some ppl can get even more
and some ppl are even more lucky and get precursors from drops

Those “some people” are like what? 5 out of 1 million? gg that is very nice percentage! 10g/h spamming AC is fun! so kitten fun killing same easy crap getting trash loot to merch without EVER expecting something awesome to drop. Grinding AC/CoF/Orr is a joke. You get garbage loot and you’re okay with it, well, gl to your 10g/h and have fun spamming same dungeon for the next years to come. I want something challenging, challenging BUT rewarding. GW2 doesn’t NOT have this kind of things but gw1 did. If you’re telling yourself that you’re enjoying spamming AC every single day just LOLZ.

and who told im spamming dungeon? there are alot of pricy stuff on TP just look for one and go kill mobs that drop it

the +5 vit that makes you 8-46% stronger

well at last some math experts says soo…….

Kindeller.3072:

Just to clear something up here… its not anyone’s math thats wrong… per say:

A percentage is taken in relation to something (a total figure), people are getting two different numbers because your taking the % of two different numbers.

1) the % increase from exotic – Ascended on each item is 8%

2) the % increase you gain on top of your stat’s is between 0.1 and 1% depending on the amount of pieces you have.

Personally i think its a minimal difference to your character and its performance but obviously something people want to aim to get but as mentioned its something i’d happily aim for instead of the legendary pain in the kitten

yes thats true
but these ppl spreading wrong info that your character will be 8%-46% stronger in ascended gear than exotics

servers never go down for patching, adding new content

its already on thier PTS server waiting and when they press magic button your client will ask you to restart the game for update

you guys didnt played gw1

agony system was in gw1 and that was released 2 years before lotro

lotro tried to copy it and failed becouse different game mechanics

i have no idea where you took these numbers from

becouse after equiping rings with 10 more power than lower tier my atk power changed by 10 and thats about 3 dps change in actual combat

Wagnard.4027:

saurus.8290:

10 more dmg make you more PRO?
0.00001% more crit chance make you more PRO?
getting 4% MF in WvW make you more PRO?
not able to add runes, orbs or sigils to these items make you more PRO?

The stats is just ONE problem.
Another one is “Restricted Content” = bad idea (If you have multiple alts, you can see the problem in the long run)

BTW : Your argument is a fallacy Ad Hominem

the same “restricted content” was in GW1
to progress more into the story you HAD to infuse your armor

Oh nooooo, I wont be able to progress to the deepest parts of the optional dungeon without the new armor which is only useful for this dungeon…. This game sucks omg you are tearing me apart Anet.

Its like all logic goes out the window when people come onto these forums.

l2read. The stats will work everywhere.

https://d2vn94glaxzkz3.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Ascended-EN.png

Oh yeah, I forgot how much of a difference that extra 3 precision will make. Oh and cant forget that MF buff.

Power 68 vs 63 = 7.94% increase in Power

Precision 68 vs 63 = 7.94% increase in Precision

Magic Find 10 vs 7 = 42.86% increase in Magic Find

So lets say a person get all pieces, that’s a nearly 8% increase in combat stats and a nearly 43% increase in magic find.

Not so little when you use percentages.

8% is not much at all considering all of the special effects some runes have that would make using infusions not worth it. And who cares about MF anyways, unless youre farming Orr all day I find it to be a useless stat.

People’s whole builds are about increasing their potential less than 1%.

Who cares? Obviously a lot of people care. To say 8% is nothing is denial. An 8% raise at work? Who cares! I mean, sure, I earn 100k a year, what is another 8 thousand dollars.

House loan is 1.2 million dollars at 3.2% interest. Lets just make it 11.2% interest! Another 8% is nothing…

This coming from a person that could not even add and subtract correctly.

and how this affect you?

10 more dmg make you more PRO?
0.00001% more crit chance make you more PRO?
getting 4% MF in WvW make you more PRO?
not able to add runes, orbs or sigils to these items make you more PRO?

becouse the +5 stat increase make you GODLIKE in WvW

ohh and you cant put runes, sigils or orbs into these items

Wagnard.4027:

Because the core devs that created GW1 without the gear gate content left ANet a long time ago.

you HAD to infuse your armor in GW1 to fight the mursaat so stop telling crap

goldenhornet.1205:

http://www.lotro.com/gameinfo/devdiaries/1043-update-2-radiance-removal-developer-diary

A new stat for gating content, no thanks. It’s already a failed idea.

have you played GW1?

seems no so please dont talk about stuff you dont know

you got that 8g back

nolop.8095:

no but I read the official statement

Quotes from
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/linsey-murdock-unveils-new-high-end-ascended-gear/

Linsey Murdock on November 13, 2012

“The only way to mitigate Agony damage is by building up resistance through Infusions[…]”

“Players who wish to delve deep into the Fractals will find that Agony makes progress increasingly difficult, until they reach the point where some defense against this condition is a must.”

and i will reply you with this
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Infusion

to infuse your whole armor you run mission 5 times that was about 1 hour or 2hours for total newbie group

Jrunyon.3012:

nolop.8095:

it’s not the stats that lock you out of the content it’s the agony resistance, if you don’t have enough of that some bosses will kill you and thus you can’t beat them unless you farm a new set of items

and of cours it’s just a ring and a back item this time, but next time ther will be more and then there are weapons to come
that’s how you boil a frog, put it in cold water and heat it slowly because it would jump out of hot water imediately

So you’ve played the dungeon already and know exactly how all the mechanics work? I see.

ale these QQers didnt played GW1

grind? what grind?
i had full exotic set the moment i hit lvl 80 there was no grind in it

dont forget they adding new crafting recipes/ mystic forge recipes so you dont have to grind…..

im happy they giving us new dungeons and pvp map
tha +5 stat is no game breaking it doesnt affect WvW or sPvP so i dont see your point

same system was in GW1 and it worked good

YES YES YES

my DPS will go up by whole 10dmg

there are no “ascended” weapons only armors

“you will get revealed if you by any means leave area before 4 sec duration has expired.”

still any questions?

this will not work with 11k hp

true power of ranged class

lets face it ranger is just for ppl who like to have animal companion all the time and dont pvp or wvw

untill ANet fix the class………….

have you tried redownloading the game?

Kuroin.1703:

tagnut.8621:

Oh noes – no 18k backstabs?

I just dropped 90% of my health before i could react. No class should have that capability. 5-6k CnDs. 5-6k heartseekers (wooh yeah a spammable gap closer that doubles as an escape tool that does 5-6k – and thats not overpowered?) 5-6k and then some backstabs.

There is nothing difficult or weak about a thief. Its grossly overpowered, has been since launch and should have been nerfed much harder much earlier and we wouldnt be having this thread.

Try using an armor, it might help you.

whats the point in armor and stats if you can live 0,5 sec longer in full def spec and def gear? (you live 3sec max)

if you attack thief first he run away with stealth + shortbow teleport crap

if thief attack first you are dead before you react

2-3 seconds with ssd

wish we had preparation skills like in gw1

read the wind
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Read_the_Wind

or
Favorable Winds spirit
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Favorable_Winds

that would fix longbow soo much

well i wish we had old skills from gw1 :P

Joshmans.8937:

They lost their game to bots so are nerfing droprates on most overfarmed materials, lol.

read again lots of bots gone = less supply = higher prices

becouse theres not enough bots to crush the market with low price stuff

Nimraphel.7819:

Looking at GW2 Spidy, the prices on the following items:

Vial of Powerful Blood ( http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/24295 )
Armored Scale ( http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/24289 )
Elaborate Totems ( http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/24300 )

And to a lesser extent:
Vicious Claw ( http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/24351 )
Vicious Fang ( http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/24357 )
Powerful Venom Sac ( http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/24283 )

… Are spiking extremely and madly. Is this market manipulation or are there other reasons for this? In a game where gold is scarce for the majority of the population, prices like these are, to put it frankly, ridiculously high.

it have nothing to do with market manipulation

there was some bots banned so theres less bots farming them
price go up

before mass bots appeard price was around 20s for powerful blood

another poor market manipulation

candy will go for 1s+

its the win8 that block many stuff

win8 is good for tablets and phones but not for a desktop where you play games

even valve told they not gonna support win8
and they moving steam to linux

its the win8 problem not gw2

win 8 doesnt support many things depend what version of win8 you have

its easy

no one is forcing you to do monthly, you dont like running dungeons try next month maybe there will be something that antisocial player without guild that dont like to group like…..

you will get your gold later its a bit laggy now

delete local.dat file

hope to see more advanced moba style pvp in gw2

yea sure some players hate it some players love it

SirOrangeALot.3760:

ok so if 5% can finish it and think its fun that makes 95% that can not complete and probably think its not fun at all

and how you come with that 5%?

Hals Warrior.9863:

Hi, my names Joni and I’ve been playing Guild Wars 2 from the day it came out. But I have found that it can be quite boring as you amble towards your next quest/event/instance I think the game could be improved by Mounts. I believe this is the only thing that World of Warcraft has on Guild Wars 2. I mean, I know there are WayPoints that you can port’ too and when it comes to 3 Silver per travel and then you have to go to and from in order to report to your current quest giver. The WayPoints are good ideas, don’t get me wrong but nothing truly replaces the feeling of having your own faithful friend to travel with you. If anyone from Arena Net is reading this please try to get this into the game. It would improve ratings and bring over more new players in my opinion. Anyone else, please tell me your opinions on this. Thankyou for reading.

there are already doylaks ut i dont think they will make you run faster

it says it add 0.6%

and anyway how you can see it gives 1%?
becouse theres no way to check your mf in game

yes i would love to see some more puzzles than just jumping

maybe something like this

ddo is a great game

i support this

you should try and make this topic in suggestions subforum
