Guild Wars 2

Chamber.3690:

I thought it was awesome! Maybe you didn’t do it with friends or something making it more boring, but I LOVED it! It was so epic the entire thing. I loved the voiceacting for the norn guy _

Maybe you could contribute meaningfully by stating exactly what you liked and disliked specifically. Just gushing about how “epic” it is, is just as bad as someone bashing about how “kitten” it is.

For the record, and slightly off topic, anything is fun when done with friends by the simple pleasure of their company. I think content should stand and be fun on it’s own merits.

I don’t believe anything will actually come from the discussions. It’s like having a chat with a politician. You’ll get all sorts of responses, than they’re elected and suddenly none of those things are fiesable goals anymore.

OmniPotentes.4817:

I guess it was the last time we heard from Dulfy.

Don’t even joke about this. Without her I’d never have gotten half of these obnoxious kill 10 rat achievements.

DevonCarver.5370:

I love bacon too. And, we are hustling to make this a reality. Just remember to listen to George Michael. “You’ve gotta have faith.”

Godot didn’t come this patch but he will surely come the morrow.

What you all need to understand is that Anet patches work on something akin to Blizzard time.
You can expect a patch for this sometime after “Now” and before “The End Of Time”.

Working as intended. Proper response for most classes upon encountering a slow/dumb PU mesmer not in traveller runes is to run away at top speed and not get involved.

Got Sunbringer title (Thanks Blackgate) and never going back. Trash loot.

Echoing your sentiment, I’d pay $20-30 for a permanent bank or trading post or merchant or make over kit but I won’t pay a cent for a lottery ticket.

Sadly whoever is in charge of monetization at anet has decided that the player base is a bunch of drooling morons and that more profit can be made by increasing our desire to purchase RNG boxes.

Chris Whiteside.6102:

I would like us to start of by listing the top three things we would like to see evolved in Fractal Design. Idea proposals can come after this stage.

Chris

1) Better Rewards including previously advertised rewards actually being in the game (eg Fractal Weapon Chests)
2) More Ascended Gear purchasable from the fractal vendor
3) Complete removal of respawning enemies

Forsaker.9213:

Justin ODell explain me how we the community can take u serious?

What we got since realese?
-broken leeder?
-broken solo que?
-power creep?
-no skill killing michine wars?
-no skill condi spam necros?
-no skill mm necros?
-no skill stealth mesmers?
-no skill zoo rangers?
-maps that are not even balanced?
-ton of bugs since reales w8 for fix till now?
-and more more more more more….

How? Tell me how? Company like anet can act like that , ignoring us the community , u dont listen to feedback . I playied a lot of diffrent games and this is 1st game when the crew responsible for balance/designe dont listen to feedback.Tell me how often u visit class forums? We had post from dev on necro forum few months ago , so until u dont start to respect us dont think we the community gonna respect u.

Justin isn’t responsible for (most of) that. I’m sure he’s working proportionate to his pay as hard as he can to adjust the ones he is responsible for, like matchmaking?

I for one appreciate his straightforwardness compared to the CC’s seeing as this thread wasn’t closed on page one with a copy paste “Stop saying bad things about our esports” response.

RNG Chests are and always will be kitten. Supporting them will only allow NCSoft to push more crap every month.

UWOTM8

Spawn timers are too long and they added the greatest artificial difficulty of them all. Other people’s stupidity. A standard instance would have been much better, where you can succeed or fail on your own merits, not because Jack and Jill were RPing in the corner and let their lane fail.

JonPeters.5630:

As we played with the stealth changed mentioned in the SotG, we recognized that in conjunction with the change to culling this was an unpredictable change to make. We also felt that it was too big of a hit to these stealth professions, so we ended up pulling that change in favor of just increasing revealed duration by 1 second.

Is this a joke?

Clearly having a cry on the forums will solve whatever the problem is perceived to be.

Incidentally whats the gold/karma per hour for this?

At least 300x better than karka krap, 100x better than wintersday and an infinitesimal margin more fun than the Living Story. The team responsible for this need a bonus.

1) You’d have to be pretty bad or stupid to fall for this.
2) The fact that you don’t agree with it doesn’t make it wrong.

Faowri.4159:

Chronic shortage of skimpy male armour, yo.

This is something I could get behind.

DevonCarver.5370:

WvW. And to cut it off now, we are not making WvW rank account bound.

Because it’s more profitable that way, for Anet. Not friendly at all to the players but anyone with a lick of sense could tell which way the wind was blowing from the

- Character Bound Dyes
- One use Gemstore Armor
- No Wardrobe System
- Useless mini’s and townclothes
- Once/day/account rewards

It would be MUCH MUCH more of a shock if it was suddenly changed to be player friendly. Everyone who’s still complaining about this needs take a long hard look at anets past decisions than ask yourself if account bound anything seems like what they would do.

Lower your expectations appropriately.

Knights Rabid Zerker Cleric and Carrion.

Skins are the same normal ugly ones.

You also have to pay gold + badges.

Tell me lies Zadorojny. Tell me sweet sweet lies.

I’d love to have bows that aren’t kittenting out flowers and ponies. Hopefully whoever was responsible for the joke legendary designs (Quip/Bows etc) has “moved on to pursue other interests”

I want more kitten revealing armor, especially for medium, especially for males.

Kill champions for a chance at a chance at a new crafting material once per day.

Scarlet please go.

Lore is of 0 importance.
A coherent and well told story is of the utmost importance. This generally requires decent lore.

From what I’ve read you get to trash rares, not worth it if you need multiple necklaces/infusions per char or play alts.
(B-but they’ll add in more ways to get laurels laaaaater)
I don’t know when later is, it could be around the time rangers get QoL improvements or SPvP becomes an esport (i.e. never)

Well there’s no way I’m voting for the filthy bull-cat that represents anet’s kittenty cash shop.

Since they’ve said multiple times they won’t give up on this terrible idea, my hopes are that they’ve learned to tell a meaningful coherent story using the actual game and not posting supplements on a blog noone reads.

@Lightrayne If it allows you to run dungeons faster and with less repair fees than I’m sure it’s against Anet’s master plan.

More grinding, more time gating, more pound 50 signs.

1 elder dragon/year would be fine. By that time other (better) MMO’s will be released or ncsoft will make “improvements” to maximize revenue or GW3 will be announced.

Completely worthless trash.

Would have preferred a 20 skill point consumable and random exotic mini’s made for birthdays ala GW1

leman.7682:

REMOVE THE CHEESE that was pumped into the game.

B-but my Infiltrators getoutofjailfreeIcanbeasbadasIwantandyoucan’tpunishme Strike and my Larcenous ThosesureEVADEaresomeniceEVADEboonsyouhavethereEVADEitwouldbeashameifEVADEanythinghappenedtothem Strike.

Pretty pathetic that we have to grind tokens AND get lucky on RNG to get some agony resistance. I thought tokens were put in because RNG was “not fun”.

It’s clear you’re just padding content with a steep treadmill now.

More ugly trenchcoats for medium armor. Gee thanks.

I got a bag for something or other and it had a bag with 10s a tome of knowledge (+1 level) and some blues. Looks like worthless rewards all around.

RagingDragon.9475:

- Exclusive Mini!
- Better Rewards!
- New Mechanics!
- New Exclusive Skins!

wowit’snothing.jpg

More wings(clearly we dont have enough backpieces anet) and mini’s (completely useless).

As far the mechanics I think they will hold out at most for a week, maybe less, than either the crying about the increased difficulty/not getting rewards because I’m manning a cannon will grow to such massive proportions that anet will tone something down

or

Players will find the perfect way to circumvent these mechanics and return to spamming 1 (eg old Claw Of Jormag standing in the corner with range). People, like water, take the path of least resistance.

Correct me if I’m wrong here but the “new rewards” was just a chance at the aforementioned useless decorations and ascended weapons or was something else confirmed.

Please stop, my sides can’t take anymore.

After one easy payment of 59.99 USD and another few months of waiting you too can kill the next elder dragon.

Alas Scholar Brogun, I knew him well.

hooma.9642:

cc is op not cause u can cc.. its op cause it shuts down every ppl that hasnt enough stunbreaks and even then its just a delay of time when the chain starts.. a necro cant fearchain xxxx hours.

These necro tears are simply delicious. Please go on and tell me about how unfortunate you are to not trait for stability because it would wreck your AoE condi spam.

how comes that u think im playing necro??? does that illusion makes ur argument cc is not op true or why u start to disrubt an objectiv discussion with emotional bullkitten?

or should that be a puzzle and i shall estimate ur braincells or iq?

I wouldn’t throw around arguments about intelligence when you’re typing lik dis u guy huheuheue.

That aside, if you are getting chain stunned by anyone you only have yourself to blame. Stun Break, Dodge, Stability, Blind. If you’re getting chain stunned by a warrior you’re not doing one of these things. If all of those options were on cool down than guess what, you got outplayed.

Maybe the warriors team mate softened you up, maybe you were getting focused down, maybe you’re just terrible at reading a warriors obvious animations. But if you get to the point where you’re stunned by a build specializing in stuns and you can’t break free because you have no stunbreaks/stability, your crying is about as foolish as complaining that staff ele aoe is too o/p because you couldn’t be bothered to move out of the circles.

I’m sure they’re doing just fine financially.
Whales and stupids keep buying RNG boxes after all.

*The Black Lion Chest now has a common chance to drop Black Lion Ticket Scraps and a rare chance to drop Black Lion Claim Tickets, which can be redeemed for Aetherblade weapon skins. Players can visit a Black Lion Weapon Specialist to preview Aetherblade weapon skins. Black Lion Chest Keys can be purchased in the Consumable category for 125 gems each or 5 for 450 gems.
Collect ten ticket scraps and turn them in for a whole ticket.

Black Lion Chest Keys are now a rare drop from the Black Lion Chest. Most key drops have been replaced by Black Lion Ticket Scraps. This guarantees progress toward a reward rather than a simple retry.
Tickets and ticket scraps will continue to drop from the Black Lion Chest and can be used for select future weapon sets.*

While I had absolutely zero intention of purchasing these revolting RNG boxes before I now find myself throwing up in my mouth at the sight of them. There’s turning a tidy profit off of whales and stupids, and then there is just mindless greed.

I reserve the right to retract this statement if there has been an undisclosed change to the drop rate of black lion keys (ie they now drop) or ticket scraps are obtainable in other, non RNG, non vomit inducing ways.

Why didn’t you test this?

Incredible. “Infracted” not once but twice and both in this thread. Apparently “constructive” means agreeing with the 1984 style of moderation.

Here’s something constructive for you,
Whenever you’re (developers) are going to communicate with us (players) please respect our level of intelligence.
If you can’t answer a question just say so and close the thread. If you can answer a question (read: answering the question, not rephrasing it and answering something unrelated, not redirecting to a merged thread where all the issues are swept up in pages and pages of trite(your moderation team does a wonderful job of this by the way, the stickied and merged drop thread is truly a shining example that should be shown to all NCsoft employee’s)) than do so and close the thread, the same way a republican would end an interview when asked how their tax breaks would help the middle class.

Leaving it open is just inviting a barrage of further questions/jabs from players/dissatisfied customers, which your moderation team finds “nonconstructive”.

I’ll remember it as KawaiiSugoiMoeface the Charr and Skrillex the Norn.

Stop telling me what to do.

No Walking.6349:

Who cares, TESO will come out before the next dragon does, so it’s not like any of us will still be playing GW2

That’s not how you spell Wild Star

After finishing up Rox and Brahms stories I figured I’d make a thread for people to post their compliments/questions/critiques/concerns.

On the plus side Rox’s story was alot better than I thought. Since you barely have to look at her the whole anime eyes thing never really bothered me. The baby devourer is pretty cute though. As a ranger she was also actually useful in combat. I could sit back and she’d be able to tank things for quite a while. Voice wise it was a bit atypical but not grating, the more I heard it the more it grew on me.

Brahms story was complete kitten, especially his character and “background”. I assume the same person wrote both and phoned it in for this part. Mechanically he’s a guardian with a mace and shield. His symbols are worse than untraited ones and his shield 5 is also less than useful. His voice was equally abysmal, enough that I considered turning off the sound.

I honestly thought this would be the other way around since I normally love Norn and dislike the Charr but there it is.

Both missions played out exactly the same. Kill things, walk over here, kill some more things, kill a gold ringer.

The reward was also lacking. Fortunately this means I won’t have to repeat it for a measly 2k karma and 2 bags of coins once a day.

All in all I’m filing this part of the Living Story with the rest; under K for kitten.
