what you’re saying is true. in gw1 u could make as much money as you wanted by solo ecto run UW or 55monk/130 derv farm for rare skins and sell them in spamadan. in gw2 not only exotics drop once per century (and mostly generic skin from level 76 to 79 only worth Mystic Toilet) but you can’t even have a nice time soloing something for money. Lodestones drop once per five years even with 160MF, DR **** us and we get this **** cuz of bots but i did NOT payed 60$ to play with DR. Its like anet don’t know wth they’re doing to the community… I did not liked what anet did by nerfing and over nerfing every class in gw1 until every is weak compared to how they were and did not liked when they nerfed SF/Ursan BUT that took time. GW2 been out for 2 months and its already a killing spree of nerfs. They nerf instead of fixing Traits, exploits, skills, tool tips, and ******** arah gate…
When i first bought gw2 i thought it was a worst than gw1 but after like 100h i started to like it over gw1 cuz of it smooth (but much more casualised) combat, after 900h the ONLY thing i prefer in gw2 over gw1 is its graphics…
do anything to fotm, just do something! its the only pve content in this game and its hardlocked at lev50 for months wtf
I prefer gw1 model. No bs gem store, no laughable fees (what are we in the 90’s or something?), only your yearly expansion worth $30-40 with tones of new content for you to do. I don’t support their gem store crap, wouldn’t play the game at all if it had a monthly fee but i’d buy their expansion if it has anything else but jumping puzzles and casual content
Today, my izerker did 6.3k damage on a none glassy build in lev40 fotm. I bought a cake with champagne and celebrated for 8 hours. I also noticed that the target was near wall, and when i used izerker it went through the target but since there was a wall behind it all four hits hit him without any misses. Maybe and only maybe the reason izerker misses is because 1. spawns a little bit too far from target and 2. its spinning attack travels too fast. Try to decrease its attack travel time (not his spinning animation so four hits can actually happen) and see what’s up.
GW2 needs more time before people can say which is better. Anet is still fixing mistakes from bad decisions. This is their first attempt at making real mmo.
I’m sure Anet has a huge amount of permeant content that will be released this year. As they fix the problems with the open world.
The comparison was between both game’s first years. Your defense is invalid.
the current defenders of gw2 will never fully open their eyes and see what is really happening to this game so its not really worth proving anything to them
You can not compare a CO-OP game to a real open world MMO.
I can’t, am i? Im sorry but gw1, not even an official mmo had more mmo elements to it than gw2… GW2 is more of a free facebook title than a real MMO.
Applying hard mode to the word and call it a day would be so stupid and boring end game if that’s what they’ll call it. Adding HM to current dungeon wouldn’t do much good because anet failed with all of them. Not a single dungeon out is fun. What they should do is start adding new dungeons (not mini dungeons that last crappy 15 minutes and are time limited) but real dungeons. If they’re lazy they could just rebuild urgoz/the deep/uw/fow and release one every three or four months. All of them would include HM and these would be the first gw2 zones that can be played in HM.
I never payed a monthly fee (other than 360’s xbl) and will NEVER do. No matter how epic and amazing a game is, i will never bother with devs that ask me more money every month after i’ve payed their game+expansions.
None existent optimization is what’s up.
now if only legendary weapons looked half decent for me to care. I agree with the idea tho. The day they add a staff or GS that goes nicely on a mesmer is the day i will farm/grind for a legendary.
In gw1 presents were special because new miniatures weren’t spammed every update. Since gw2 gives you new miniatures every 2 weeks i certainly hope 1y presents aren’t minis cuz there’s already as much minis in gw2 in under a year than gw1 in 8y
they ban you for swearing in a video game rofl what kind of person doesn’t swear in a video game? Like this is so stupid writing this makes me jiggle a little.
gold is shared. laurels are shared. dungeon tokens are shared. karma isn’t shared. MAKES SENSE!!!!!!!!!
Why i shouldn’t use a certain build just because the condition itself is broken in pve? Makes no sense and shouldn’t be ignored especially since confusion can deal tones of good damage. The fact that most people just don’t care and switch to crit/power in pve annoys me because anet won’t bother to do anything to confusion and let it suck until gw2 is dead (5y+)
If it was sold to a competent developer instead of a monetization-led hype machine.
I wanted to say something like that but knowing my message would be deleted and 1 more juicy infraction would join the other over 9000 so i didn’t. Thank you.
I am starting to wonder why the Anet team abandoned their vision to release bi weekly Nintendo knock offs disguised as a living world. Why the addiction to mini games, with no attention to the game itself. There are hundreds of bugs that affect game play every day that are being compounded every time they update the game with what I consider fluff content, and most of them have been present since launch.
I had high hopes for GW2, enjoyed it immensely at launch. Now I see what many predicted when Ms. Cox was announced. Sadly it will continue until only the under 10 crowd will play. Well, I guess that fits the maturity of the mini game/jump puzzle platform that GW2 has become.
Simple. Fluffy/goofy/colorful content attracts newcomers. A bug fix does nothing else but that, fix a bug. Fixing bugs won’t bring new people in because they don’t even know their existence, but a new colorful casual content certainly will. the problem with anet right now is that they’re WAAAAY too focused at pleasing not their gw1 long running fanbase, not their wvw fanbase, not their pvp fanbase, not their challenge/end game lovers fanbase but casuals, casuals that come join the game every week, its their main goal to keep them busy while the rest is left out. this is a fact anyone who’ve been playing since launch could easily see.
what i want to know is how did gw1 (which wasn’t even an mmo) managed to have good end game and gw2 has no end game at all?
we haven’t gotten a single new armor since launch and u want more weapon skins… If they add anything ITS ARMORS or gtfo.
I really hope they do nerf it but not the spirits, I love being able to play my ranger again it’s amazing but the nerf is inevitable and i dont want rangers to be nerfed through the ground. If Anet could somehow make this build alot harder to play with a better payoff for those who are good would be amazing so less people could play it to it’s full potential and people who truly like rangers can just get good from enough practice. And yea i know this is the problem with basically every class.
How do you expect them to do this though? The whole class is nothing but an autoattack fest unfortunately. Spam auto and keep poison on the target is the name of the game.
Worse still is the class is forced into specific trait lines just to make their skills useful (30 marks:signets, 30nature:spirits).
Short of a complete redesign of the class, it’s not going to change. Numbers will be crunched, but if you don’t like the playstyle of the class as it is right now abandon ship while you can. Bows will never work for this class again.
But that’s not exactly our fault that we’re the auto attack class… Look at our other weapon skills, they’re as pathetic as it gets. You know your weapon skills suck &$&^@ when you deal more damage auto attacking than using the other 4 skills. The poorest designed class in this game is ranger. Anet was drunk when building this class. If they nerf spirits and its not ‘if’ anymore but when, what exactly are we supposed to run for spvp (serious question)? BM is too weak since pet nerf, trapper is meh so what then? I swear if it gets to LB/GS………………….
Their current team is pretty weak when it comes to adding content with true longevity so they have no choice but time gate people and make them waste days/weeks on old content.
The game300+ players in the same area with lots of detail and spells flashing. Lower your settings or spend money on more horsepower.
There’s tons of games sitting on developer’s shelves right now because the average joe doesn’t want to invest into a gaming machine and is content with gaming on laptops and walmart web surfers. is fine. Of course you are going to get lag when your machine has to process
has nothing to do with weak hardware, i thought by now everyone knew that but i guess those who don’t own a gaming rig don’t… GW2 isn’t a game poorly optimized, gw2 is a game that doesn’t know the word ‘optimization’ at all. In one year there’s zero improvements.
this is just laughable. What’s next? Ascended GS worth 100 Laurels, 250 ectos and 250 obi shards? Like wtf is wrong with these stupid decisions? I want to get items by playing the game and not wait 2 years doing boring * dailies!
Why it isn’t in the game since day one is what i would like to know
“Robert Hrouda
August 20.
“Today marks the release of the last bit of content I built for ArenaNet. I had always hoped my last hurrah would be an epic dungeon that would stand the test of time, and provide entertainment for players to the very end… but instead it’s an instance that will only persist for two weeks, and then go away”. wow this is what he wanted to build? I kinda feel bad right now because its all i wanted and always thought its him who wanted temporary crap. So he left and was the only guy who cared about dungeons, now what? In how many months will we receive fractals update or get a new dungeon? in how loooooooooog?
In Dark Souls 2
$68. $60 for the game and $8 in taxes. Im not giving them additional money for worthless content such as a flute and fluffy clothing. If they want more of my money they better release an expansion with true content in it or it’ll stay at $68 until i quit the game.
that is because the whole genre is stuck in the 90’s. Like how many more years do i have to wait for an MMO that has half decent story or something good like bioshock infinite? How many more years until an MMO has AI more intelligent than what was available in later freaking 80’s… GW2 combat is not stuck in the 90’s and that is why it feels like all other mmo’s are ancient in comparison but when you look at gw2 campaign and AI its as ancient as it can get, haven’t evolved one bit.
Who said it wouldn’t? oh wait, devs did. Why? Cuz it takes time to build and their gem store/LS is way more important.
most of you guys are asking for weapons on professions that would just not fit. I have heard people mentioning staff on rangers? mace on eles? just….no.
mace on ele sure wouldn’t fit but staff on ranger? c’mon now it fits perfectly. Ranger commands spirits lol how is staff not fitting?
this is just annoying to hear because with all the crap added, not a single armor skin was added in ~9 months………….
I would’ve bought a new gpu/cpu instead of wasting money on their gems. What are you even buying, stupid rng boxes? lol
If this casual fest with no content had a monthly fee,,,,,,,,,,,, hahahahaha. They’re greedy and it shows. No one forced you in their gw1 shop, here each time an update comes they’re spamming with the “New important item in gem store!!!!” as if this was their main content for the update. I don’t want you to add weapon skins in a kittening gem store, i want you to add them in a brand new dungeon and let me hunt them as its done in an rpg. in anet’s mind, gem store in their end game dungeon in which you do nothing else but buy kitten and stand in LA showing them off, pathetic.
ArenaNet seriously needs to respond to this problem :
Why Medium Armor is always a trenchcoat ?
And Phoenix Armor looks amazing on a Female whlist on Man its…meh.
On male its not “meh”, its top three ugliest armors in this whole game and this game has a lot of bad looking armors in opinion. On females its yet another pole dancer’s armor tho, but this time around its an exotic pole dancer’s armor
I killed more champs today than ever and got nothing… i want dat crystal guardian
You know why i say that? because no matter how you try, in our day and age a game won’t be running 1-5fps and gw2 runs at ~10… its REALLY hard to not achieve better… I know for a fact this game which i haven’t even heard before the person who’ve posted this video will run at over 10fps because engine they’re using isn’t almost a decade old.
Might I suggest actually installing the game on a computer that meets the minimum requirements then?
Getting around 10 FPS would most likely suggest that there is issues at your end, rather than at the games end, since people are reporting up to 40-50 FPS even in big zergs.
No kidding. Or upgrade from his 56k modem. I tend to the 50’s. Having a bad time if I bottom out mid 20s in a zerg. Or maybe he meant himself when he was raggin on ppl who got their comps from bestbuy. And most of my settings are on high. You can do that with a liquid cooled quadcore, real vidcard, with 16 gb ram. (TB solidstate HD too, but not like that affects my connection). Hell, I know my choke point is my connection, it’s only isdn, but the cable ends a kilometer from the house and the cable company wont lay more this way. Still, avging mid 300k dl is good enough.
what exactly are you even talking about? wtf does a connection has to do with anything? I have 15down/5up or i was supposed to have over 100up to play this game at “i tend to the 50’s”? Do you even know how to monitor your fps before talking? Why do you even bring liquid cooling lmao and then you talk about “real vidcard”? what is this supposed to mean exactly? Are you playing on onboard gpu and get those amazing performances no one in gw2 is getting? get real and land on planet earth. Playing with an onboard ship and talks about fps while others have computers build for gaming…
20 days+monthly per amulet. lets say i have four level80’s and i don’t do fotm. Do you HAZ any idea how many months will it take to get 4 amulets/8 rings+infusions!!!!!!? Their system isn’t bad, isn’t LOL, but completely broken.
new patch, new way to get you in their ripoff store. whats new?
I expected rare skins from drops/chests and what did i get? Blue trash worth under 80c… Anet should seriously consider adding tones of skins (as drops and not obtainable with tokens) exclusive to dungeons or in couple of months they will be completely dead (when everyone gets all they wanted from them with tokens)… oh wait, did i said in two months? No. They’re already dead and game was released a month ago… You see some CoF and AC spam, that’s it… Did the game launched with two dungeons? Anet, add loot worth a ****! It was perfect in gw1 and i absolutely have no idea why this changed… I don’t want your stupid tokens but rare drops that i can wear AND sell if i wanted to.
Straight from Hello Kitty Online and beastin like that? kitten
8 mini queen jennas really how thrilling, i would have rather socks, again Guildwars 1 did it better…at least they were varied..
AND sellable. Here you enjoy your acc bound bs
Hates RNG. Wants RNG for birthday presents.
But you don’t pay for it, so why? How exactly to you expect to have a rarer free item when there’s no RNG involved?
A class designed in 24h.

With this game it seems CPU clock speed is the thing more than how many cores you have. Big WvW fights though, probably will bog down anyones machine. Turn of Post Processing, and things that will help some.
That’s not helping at all. I have a 2500k running at 4.3ghz, i hate post processing effect so its always off since game was launched and 10-20fps is all you’ll be getting in zergs.
another tree added by anet
i have said this multiple times. Precursors MUST drop from at least one dungeon’s end chest (arah would be my choice). not only this will make Arah extremely lively but you can and will get one after bizillion runs (better than spending 400g).
i hope this doesn’t take anet half a year to be fixed…
i made a thread not long about how kitten*y scepter is and from reading all i learned is that people are fine with this useless weapon and told me to use something else if i don’t like it LOL its not me who doesn’t like it, ITS BROKEN trash with not a single useful skill.
why is this even in the game? what’s the point of it exactly? you already have left click to target and right was for camera so why exactly to we target with a button made to turn your camera!?
They’re extremely poor at telling any kind of story worth listening to so let it to devs such as rockstar/naughty dog. Simple missions that you’re doing with groups AND NOT SOLO would be enough
Nah, just weapon deletion.
If a MMO is worth wasting your time playing it then it is worth a sub. If it is not worth a sub then it is not worth wasting your time playing it.
Most here are full of it by the way. It is comical reading the reasons people give for not being willing to pay.
So if a game (any genre) is worth my time ‘like borderlands 2 for example’ i should send 15$ to their devs each month. Makes sense brah.
