Guild Wars 2

robertul.3679:

Yea this game definitely needs more open world content. Why not make all the dungeons open world so pve commanders and their zerglings can conquer them!
I mean..look at all those successful attempts at tequatl and wurm and marionette..

The sarcasm is strong in this one lol. Where do you see me asking for bosses specifically or zerg content? My idea is more for those players that are always posting asking for more maps and places to explore. Surely more options on playable content can’t be a bad thing, if anything just more options.

What some people don’t understand is depending on what you do in game you can easily become a target of these gold sellers and other spammers/nasties.

For example I notice that if I am playing SPvP and talking often in the map chat between matches (out of boredom, to help answer questions or whatever) you will soon become a target. The same can be said for if you are in a city crafting or whatever or just doing daily/map complete out in the world. Basically if you speak in chat often you can soon become a target.

This may not be a problem for people who just play wvw (less people to see you speaking since you can’t see the 2 enemy team’s chat), run dungeons all day or who are naturally quiet/shy in game or whatever. But for those of us who are vocal, usually because we like to help people this can soon become a problem.

Additional privacy options will in no way effect the game in a negative way. Oh you say but what if people need help and can’t whisper random people? Well there are other options, all they need to do is use their initiative. Such as:

1 – Ask in map chat.
2 – Ask people on their friends list.
3 – Come to the forums.
4 – Use the wiki or google.

There are plenty of options. For those of you who are saying make another chat window and block whispers. This is no answer. Why should I miss out on whispers from people who I want them from (friends) simply to just block out the nasties? Would you go and deafen yourself just to not listen to people who are annoying/loud or would you move away from these people and ignore them? Seems pretty extreme to me the latter.

Skritt!
you may think I’d be a thief, but you’d be wrong. Mesmer Skritt!

Skritt on their own are kind of stupid though, so I suggest that every playable Skritt “character” is in fact a little group of 5 Skritt that works together as one (quite literally). That should be fun.

Yeah, nah not really. Think about it even humans way back when were as stupid as anything when they were separated and in small caveman groups. Then people started to come together to make villages, towns etc and the pool of the combined knowledge lead to smarter people over time due to the sharing of the collective skills/knowledge.

The same could be said for the skritt who ALREADY share towns with us humans and other races. Perhaps they have already gained stronger intelligence due to the fact they have been around many others for so long.

I hear that Batman and Superman started fighting over them all and they were destroyed in the process.

I just have to say it – kinda ironic post coming from your name OP. :P

Serelisk.6573:

Paulytnz.7619:

All I can say is:

1 – You can block chat rather than hope for a system that “allows you to kick people out of the game”.

2 – Hate the game or the way it’s made not the players….ask why some of these achievements are put into the game when Anet should surely know it will cause issues like this.

3 – Despite their best efforts griefing exists in this game – via any new minigame that comes in when players can simply do the BEST that they can to ANNOY other players and stop them from earning certain achievements. They can then turn around and simply say “Anet want’s us to play this game this way!”

Lol, are you actually saying that the people who want to play the game the way it was designed to be played are griefers?

No, I am saying there are some people who play these mini games just to grief others for the fun of it.

Example, some noob playing the sprint minigame not even bothering to finish the race and sit (camp) near the last set of jumps just to “push” others off over and over so that they can’t finish the race unless they are lucky enough to get past this part with a light travel pick up.

Another example was in the dragon bash game where some players would just camp spawn points and kill you over and over just for the heck of it.

I have seen players do both these things and other such things.

You can not deny people WILL abuse parts of game for the fun of it just because they can. Remember those in WvW who would place siege in the JP’s? Same thing, they were not there trying to complete the JP but to stop other players from doing so and they had found ways that could not be countered, thus – griefing.

You are. There is no subscription, all it means is now people can play for free what we bought. Mind you they have a lot of restrictions. So don’t worry about it, move on and ignore all the garbage you see in game about it from those who think they know better.

Lishtenbird.2814:

• What is the issue? Can’t really understand the first post…
• Why all comments in this thread from different people are very similarly Google translated?

Yeah I second that, it seems like every reply here is from a translated thing or from someone with English as their second language. No offense but I can’t make sense from most of them..

Indeed, “what is going on here?” I have no idea, more info please. :P

TBH this needs to be at something like 2000 range seriously, a mortar is a long range weapon not a short to med range. Heck even a warrior has 1500 with a rifle so what good is this?

It’s also weak so having 2k range would be perfectly fine. Try using it in WvW like I do and you will see how weak it really is….. I mean even Ele’s out range it because of the aoe size of their aoe attacks, so pointless….

I think a lot of the problem was that many zerk pvers went to pvp and faced players who were not glass cannons and couldn’t kill them quick enough or at all. Thus they cry to anet who go and remove all the tanky amulets.

Result? Now instead of seeing smaller fights spread between all 3 caps you have 1 team steam roll the other at the beginning and then it’s all over.

Removing the tanky amulets, while increasing cond damage to the level it is now while also having classes that can spam aoe conds at max range just makes it a giant mess.

Tanking on point via strong builds/amulets and survivability has simply been replaced with tanking on spot with aoe spam/conds, traps, wells with the odd Ele healer for back up.

They said fightswere too boring with the old system because people took too long to die or just simply didn’t. Now it’s over too fast and then the game goes out the window for the most part. At least with the more tanky amulets some of us with bad pings had a fairer chance, even just that split second that it could keep you alive made a pretty big difference, well in my experience anyway. Now it’s either have a good ping to be up to par or play cheese of the month class like 80% of everyone else until it’s all fixed.

Getting this too the last 5 mins. Also yesterday I noticed some crazy lag for a period of 10 minutes and also an area load took literally 5 mins.

I suspect they are doing things behind the scenes. perhaps with regards to how the BLTC works (for example if I play for 8+ hours and try to use the TP I will ALWAYS get an error message like it has timed out or something) or it may even be to do with the culling issues.

Even if you got what you are asking for I think it could still not truly represent what your experience in PvP would be. Well not unless of course Anet addressed those few issues and gave options to be able to. These problems are:

1 – I’m sure there is a difference with the stat system of armours. I think in PvP there are no stats on armour right? All stats come from the amulet?

2 – Our pve stats are changing all the time due to the WvW system and bonus they give us. Even if you don’t play WvW or are not doing it your PvE stats are always changed by a small amount due to how well your world is doing.

3 – Any and all buffs/boons from food/other consumables/guild hall bonuses etc would have to be removed.

I am sure there are other things I am over looking or have not included. But even so, these 3 things above might not sound like much but I am sure it would be a bit of work for Anet.

I just wish there were more testing options in the PvP lobby tbh. I mean in GW1 there were a lot more options and it did not only help for PvP but also for PvE. Some simple ideas could be:

1 – A golem with a break bar so we could test which skills are the best for breaking bars.
2 – Golems that pulse conds on you so we can test removal options.
3 – Golems that attack you for small damage so we can see the effects of healing on ourselves from not only our heal skills but also passives such as regens from traits.
4 – Golems that stand in place and will range you once you attack them.

5 – A training room where you could party with friends/guildies and practice fights against ea other. I know there is that custom arena thing. But lets be honest, something like this should be free of charge especially with the state of PvP right now and if they want to keep attracting people to try the game mode.

A few things like this would be great!

For the most part it is still an awesome community here. Reminds me of the early days of Runescape when it first got the subscription service. Of course that didn’t last too long tho before all the bots and bad attitudes came to the game.

Of course a big part of it here is like the OP and others have said – build a good game where people don’t compete against each other and get rewarded for helping each other and you will see a much better community.

Yeah there are naysayers who say the community sucks. But I have to ask them is that because they have bad attitude themselves and like to share it around with everyone else? Yes there are bad eggs, but by far the majority of the community is perfectly fine.

The PvP lobby can seem to be the total opposite for the most part, however I just think of it this way. There are bad eggs in this game, and most of them will end up in PvP and hang their the most of their gameplay. Of course there are just people having bad PvP days too and just sore losers and just plain boastful/jerky winners too of course. :P

Funny I always thought that there were tons of skins in the game…….you can see them all in the wardrobe.

As for crafting yes they may have the boring old skins but the purpose of crafting them tbh is for the stats, period. Then you can throw on whatever skin you like later.

I don’t find crafting boring and I also manage to make cash off it from time to time. Mind you I gather everything that I use pretty much and I level up mostly through the discovery part of the system. Another thing to realise is it really does not take much effort/time to lvl up crafts if you have the gear or cash. So they don’t really expect us to be crafting for too long unless we craft in many or all crafts (like I do on 4 diff chars so that I cover them all).

Not sure what I’m really trying to say actually lol. Except that I think crafting is fine, it’s fun for those who find it fun and it can be rewarding for those that do a bit of research into seeing what makes the best cash from the items they can make.

In the right hands – Engi. I have all classes with world maps complete and I have to say, Engi is still my fave for everything, especially soloing champs.

You might want to try having both a zerk/condi as well as a toughness set tho. PVT Engi with the right traits/kits/food can last almost anything

If you believe, only because you are a casual gamer, that a casual gamer can’t be required in a game to do some “effort” to get something, even if it requires of them normally more time, than it does for hardcore players, then you absolutely play the wrong game my friend!
Just a word of advice.

Pretty much this.

Some people seem to be either in a hurry or want everything the moment they log in.

Yes, they want the game that was advertised:

Colin Johanson: “Everyone, including casual gamers, by level 80 should have the
best statistical loot in the game. We want everyone on an equal power base.”

By the time you reach level 80 you should have enough of the Ascended materials to craft an Ascended Weapon.

Impossible. For example you can’t even get the material from champ chests until you ARE lvl 80. Try it on an alt under lvl 80 you WONT get the material at all.

Yup, this is the only thing that is acceptable to me, of course I think it would be more similar to the Charr tank but you get the idea! Also the underwater version would be the Sub.

Wait a few seconds and the video in question should be at the top of the list on the right side of the screen.

I understand about the various Npc’s Illconceived Was Na.9781 and totally understand with regards to them and share your same view of them being set up that way. But as stated since Reknown hearts are soloable so too should be access to the vendor store afterwards.

I have 100% world map complete now on 2 char’s so I have done every single heart twice and this is the only vendor I have had this issue with so I guess I have been lucky with all the other heart people or simply helped them with their event without realising it. So thanks for the heads up there Saya.

PS – the Npc I am referring to does not move from his location and is in no way hindered by the event as the enemy and his army is some distance away. He mearly just mentions about the event in much the same way most other non important npc’s do when they run up to you trying to gain your attention. It’ just seems that the “view vendor” option disables when this event is ongoing.

The deal is that people consider it funnier and more enjoyable if they are doing something optimized. It makes them feel better in general that they are doing something well. This might sound weird at first but, are we not encouraged to do our best at whatever we do?.

That said, this is not a real pressure outside of Fractals/Raids. Marauder, Valkyrie and the like works wonders for survivability as well as damage. You can also wear Celestial to be an all-rounder (change build as you wish without ever worrying about equipment!) and do well at most stuff.

Just remember though, toughness in particular needs a rework. They have severly nerfed it because of a previous PvP bunker meta, and it is basically a junk stat. You need vitality and proper use of protection+vigor much more than you need toughness, as enemies will simply pierce through you in groups. So it might actually be hindering yourself rather than protecting yourself, if you wear toughness equips.

What’s more optimal though, a dungeon run with 3 party wipes or a dungeon run 1 minute slower than the world record?

You’re assuming that dungeon wipes don’t happen if people don’t wear zerker. However if one person doesn’t wear zerker and four do, everything still dies slower and if the zerkers die and that guy is left the only one alive trying to solo a boss it’s not any faster.

There’s no real evidence for what you say, or at least it’s not my experience.

We used to run Lupi in our casual guild, which you’ll find in every path of Arah. Every path. And we’d take 8-10 minutes to kill him, during which sometimes we’d have deaths and sometimes we’d wipe.

Now, everyone is the guild that runs dungeons runs zerker. We kill Lupi in about 2 minutes after the first phase is over or in about 20% of the time we used to take. Fewer people go down because we don’t have to play perfectly for nearly as long.

Saying that you can do a dungeon faster is non-zerk gear is an argument I used to make. I found out from experience, I was wrong.

The corollary to this point being in direct opposition of the usually stated belief of “zerker = more skilled play” haha!

Lol good point, in fact I think it actually requires MORE skill to play in defensive gear and always has! Being that every mob and their grandma will target you. If your reaction time and skill cooldowns are not managed properly it’s game over. Zerkers have always had it easy and just never knew it! :P

I think the problem here for you is the fact that the game map is not all instances anymore. There were less towns/outposts in GW1 because they were mainly at the before or end of an area which was 1 big instance.

And when I say big instance I really mean big. They were alot bigger than say an area like Queensdale or any other in GW2 are. You ALSO had to actually FIGHT your way through them inch by inch which was a very strategical/fun thing to do. Sadly a lot of that is missing in GW2.

Whenever I reached a new instance I would force myself not to leave it until I unlocked every area of it by scraping the walls/killing every creature and then scraping the walls of the inner objects of the inner map too. This is in the end of course is how I managed to get all explorer titles…

Hickeroar.9734:

Don’t buy it now. Wait a few days. We’re dealing with the “final rest” syndrome now. Once the obsessed players get their hands on it, the price is going to fall quite a bit. It’s already fallen from 200g to 35g in less than 24 hours. These are going to be dropping forever, so just wait.

http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/44960

Makes sense and I should say they should in theory drop more often than Final Rest too being that the champs spawn a lot faster and can be killed a lot easier by solo players.

I really don’t get why they had to tie this in with the “tramp train” at all. I very rarely die let alone even get downed. So I am hardly ever paying for repairs anyway. The thing is I don’t do any of these “tramp trains” so saying they are lowering those rewards BECAUSE of the removal of repair costs (as well as other rewards in other parts of the game which may impact on me) is something I am just a bit iffy on. I sence they just want to remove cash in general for some reason…..

Also something else to think about, seriously how many if any that do run the “tramp trains” actually die to have to repair their gear anyways? I doubt any, so again this just seems strange to me to be tied in…

I guess the next thing they will say is that Dungeon rewards are also going to be lowered again due to this change. Oh well, again it wont effect me as I don’t run dungeons but if so I can see an uproar coming to the forums.

cheshirefox.7026:

i’ve wanted a pink commander tag since day one.. just on the map though, i’d pay gems for it z_z and other colors obviously

I would like a green one and a shield looking icon one so people know that I like to actually HOLD objectives in WvW. If they gave us different looking tags for different uses it could really help things, a few examples:

Shield – lets players know you like to build up towers/keeps and defend them so others may come and help do that.

Question mark – could be a good one for PvE for players who like to “mentor” others or who don’t mind answering questions from new players etc.

I’m sure there’s many they could come up with, in fact this was all discussed last year and I’m sure they had promised it was coming “soon” in one of their replies way back then and never came. :s

In the Iron marches there is 1 particular karma vendor who after completing the heart you can not access his store if a certain boss is up. What happens is he just mumbles on about the boss being up and to go and kill it. The vendor’s name is Jaggedclaw (sorry I forget the rest of his name). I did report this by using the in game bug report over a month ago and since then nothing has changed so I started to worry that this was intenional.

Now this boss is a champion who also has a group of 20 sidekicks with him so he is NOT easily dealt with. Also no other heart reknown vendor in the entire game requires you to have a group to complete any part of it or to access the store. So this really tells me that this should not be intentional. Also I very much doubt that this vendor has anything amazing that would require you to go through so much effort. “Why is this so much effort” you might say? “Ask for a group or get a gang to deal with him”. When I first noticed this situation it was while I was on my first playthrough of the game with my first character. Back then pretty much all the maps were crowded with people and you would hit the overflow very often. So back then sure yes this MIGHT have been possible but now, well you know the story most of these maps are empty. Now the reason I put MIGHT in bold just then was because even back then when I did go through on my first guy when the map was crowded I DID call for/ask for an extermination team from map chat so I could access the store. Sadly I got no response the few times I called for one.

So in summary, I seriously believe that if this is intentional to please reconsider. As I said no other heart requirement or access to the store after requires you to need a group (for a champion boss with 20 sidekicks I am assuming a sized 10+ group would be needed) to do so. Sure I know that there are vendors in Orr that require this to access their stores and their amazing armour skins. But in these cases they are NOT karma vendors/hearts. Which is why I assume they are not reknown vendors because the intenion for the last 3 maps in Orr is to NEED to group to access/do certain things, unlike all the maps before that do feature hearts.

In advance thanks for your time and any info.

The Ruined City of Lion’s Arch as the new dungeon! just sayin’ Lupicus solo vids are getting old…

I hope Zomorros is the end boss. He takes all your gold if you wipe!

And if you beat him you get a green item with a rare chance at getting a rare. Seems fair to me!

Cool idea. Way back before megaservers happened I saw a Vet Jellyfish taking on and actually beat the champ shark in Southsun. All that HP regen the jellyfish had made it so op.

Lol sometimes your icon goes bald too for some odd reason and worse if you have 8 chars like me (1 of each class) the 8th is hidden off screen! I really want to see them ALL there on screen at the same time in their full glory!

Ranger:

Rifle. At the moment we all know (if you don’t you should be ashamed) that Engi’s play with rifles like a shotgun so that’s short to mid range. Warrior seems to have a slow shooting rifle with mid to long range. What I envision for the ranger with access to the rifle would be the equivalent of a sniper. That’s right, very long range with accurate high damage, bring on the pain baby! Rangers are and should be the long range specialist class so to me this is the obvious choice for them to be the sniper-ish class.

Yes! I’ve always wondered why Rangers can’t use rifles. When I started my first toon, a ranger, I envisioned her as pretty much being a ninja sniper with a herd of animals at command. Sneaking around, picking enemies off before they knew what hit them. Of course, I had to change that vision as I actually started playing the game. 0.o

Let’s make it happen! Perhaps another one of the rifle skills could be to have our pet stealth us camo style through their stripes. You inspired that idea lol.

Yes, because we need to give rangers even more incentive to max range every encounter and not stack with the rest of the group.

So you are saying that because there are some bad team players out there that we should exclude things from incoming to the game because it will only make that situation worse?

Ummm, no I think a better solution there would be to ask said bad players to get with the programme or simply to not expect everyone to “stack” to “kill da boss” because it’s the most efficient way to speed run the dungeon.

Actually hold on there, I see what you did, you derailed my thread! No sir, I will have none of that, please stay on topic.

If you ask me the champ train in Queensdale gives new players a bad introduction to the game and how us current players play it and about how this game should be played………

It also takes out any of the fun of discovering these champions on their own by just coming across them like most of us did in our first days here. Now its everyone in map chat yelling out what champs are up, or asking what the rotation is.

I REALLY hope that the work they are doing on the event rewards are on a par with these boxes. But then again my concern is even if so will people still bother? Sure some soloers might. But a lot of events take longer to do than simply killing a champ would. Also some of those events which take so many minutes always (such as protect x area for 3-5 mins) NEVER have any extra reward for the extra time they take to complete so I’m sure these ones would be ignored altogether….

I dunno but perhaps they should make ALL champs truly “Dynamic” by having them appear/spawn in random places and at random times? I know this kind of goes against how the boar event works. Perhaps make him a Vet? Remove all champs from “events” and just make them stand alone perhaps?

Hey guys at least they are not behind RNG from scraps/tickets and chests! :P

The drop system gets me down. Too much RNG, you can go many kills without any drop and for some classes where fights can take a while this is a real problem. Not everyone zergs or goes full zerker and can kill everything in 2-5 seconds so as I said this can make random killing or any attempts at farming certain mats very sad for some people.

It is also a very boring system…

250 years of time is no small amount in the realm of technological and scientific advancement. Throwing magic in the mix can just speed things up.

Props to ANet for not making another fantasy world that stagnates for millenia.

Oh really, so the asurans magiclly invented retro 8 bit arcade game items, ok cool, well maybe soon they can also invent a magic burger king where i can get a burger and win a chance at a paper crown.

Cause thats the world thats starting to get made, its already hard enough taking anything seriously when i saw a 8 foot tall charr warrior with a bouncing quaggan back pack on, an anoying sounding 8bit digital pet is even worse.

Hate to tell you this but cheese burgers, french fries, pizzas and all sorts of other modern food have been in this game since day 1….

No paper party hats yet as far as I am aware but thats a different mmo game called Runescape….

Was wondering how long it would take lol…

The new colour is baaaaaaaad. I don’t see why they had to even change the symbol and colour. Could have left it how it was. Also I cleared Fields of Ruin yesterday on an alt and the NE Hero Challenge didn’t even show up on the map after completion. It shows on the minimap but not the full map. I had problems finding the last 2 as well, they did not show up at all. I alt tabbed to use a site to see where they were (which is sad considering I have done world complete 9 times before, I should remember where they are!), by the time I came back to the game and looked again they were finally showing. But the NE corner one still did not.

I have a feeling it’s Engi that will be last. That suits me as I main an Engi, save the best for last and all that. :P

As for having enough time to test them I think we will be ok. More than likely the last to be shown (only 1 or 2 left right?) should be done within the next few weeks I am assuming . So that should give us well over a month to test them all.

I just opened a Chest in Gendarrin fields and this is what jumped out!! 8 Bit killer graphics are here!

Honestly I’ve done enough running around mindlessly farm grinding things over and over that I’m pretty fed up it, and I didn’t even farm that much compared to most. You guys go enjoy your farming I won’t take part in it.

Just a random OPEN WORLD suggestion. You could make all those already added heart quest redo-able with some reward system in place. This might promote OPEN WORLD play and it would work well with doing daily achievements . Although I wouldn’t make this a daily thing per say, something that can be done daily but it would stay on record until you complete it, you know for those busy players who may not have the time to spend doing it in one sitting. My idea would be if you started it previously and finished it on a different day then you could start another and finish it also the same day. That way players can catch up if they really wanted to. Anyway I would make it only register 2 completions per day for finishing a semi-complete one and a new one. This would prevent it from being farmable. Oh, and perhaps some NPC in Lion’s Arch would give you a random big list of hearts to complete but you only have to complete a certain amount for the reward. Perhaps even make it build up to a monthly goal with a cool reward too?

You want to redo some mostly boring hearts when you have tons of cool dynamic events you can do on a map? You honestly think if dynamic events failed to attract people to the open world hearts will?

I have suggested in another post a while ago something similar like this too. Basically they let us right NOW continue to do some of the things we did when we did the hearts yet we get no reward for it. Why not reward us in some way so that we can use these parts of the maps to do something WHILE we wait for that nearby event to kick off?

Personally I would have preferred they got rid of bleeds for Skill 3 Rifle and add more Vulnerability to it so it can synergise with 5. Either that or rework 5 altogether so it gives something more worthy. 3 Vuln is nothing. Compare that to Ranger skill 2 (instant 25) and you see a HUGE difference.

Rifle needs a complete rework imo it’s just all over the place now. It’s trying to be damage/control/teeny weeny not even worth it condi and a teeny, weeny, not even worth it support via the Vuln.

I also main Flamethrower as primary source and this Skill 2 change I don’t really like. Cond damage? Well I always did wonder why it didn’t add some at all but a complete change to make it pretty much only Condi damage now was not expected or totally wanted. I too will not change my gear for this. Maybe if the skill 1 chain was shorter would it be worth it…..

Yesterdays dailies – timberline falls, every second it seemed ‘events?’ in map chat, events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? events? <<<<<<<<<<is what my map chat looked like, it is now so bad i just turn off map chat to avoid the spam.

It was horrendous, not sure if players are just plain lazy/thick to even look on the mini map (yellow wagon wheel looking icon), or the top right corner of their screen (which points to them), but when you see this every day – during peak times when i’m either gathering or doing the same dailies….

It gets annoying to say the least

I hear you, it gets real annoying, people just don’t have any patience/initiative anymore.

I hate hearing the “event’s, where are the event’s?” thing myself so I NEVER use it. I think it is mainly an issue that people come to the map and ask straight away simply because they have no clue what to do and just stand there and ask.

Seriously? You come to a map and just stand there and ask? You can’t think to go out and gather some resources and try and find any for yourself while you wait for someone to call one? It’s very selfish behaviour, wanting everyone else to do the work for them. If they DID go out and gather/try to look for themselves and then call it out for others then they would be pulling their share.

Personally I make it a note to WP in to the WP that is nearest to the farming fields/patches and make my way to farm those while I wait for someone to call an event out. If by the time I am done digging these up if no event is still called out, NP I will go and gather the nearest thing on my map in the direction where I know events usually pop up.

People these days…..and I thought the Queensdale Champ Trains gave people bad habits. It seems they just have them naturally!

I don’t understand you tbh. You say you prefer to walk everywhere to see the scenery and make the world feel bigger etc. Yet you say you hated doing world complete a second time? That makes no sense.

Yet I too don’t fully like the waypoint system, I think I would be a lot happier if they were shrines like in GW1 where you only transport to the nearest one if and when you die. Perhaps having just ONE actual waypoint per map that we could fast travel to from other maps would be a better option? I don’t know tbh. Especially since the maps are so dead; it can make it hard to get help completing events, etc if people can’t travel to the exact area that fast.

I think the damage is done and is too late to change it now.

I have a feeling the toys are going to be expanded on and very shortly! Incoming “mounts” variety is imminent, get your wallets ready boys and girls!

I know its a player mistake but I would at least try contacting support in the offchance they might help.

Yes I would also advise this, because really that’s the whole point of those splitters!

“Make us” – no. Give us the “choice” to re-do it if we want to – yes please! :P

Wow and I thought I was a hardcore player. Nice work but did you have to give me a stiff neck!?

I smell price manipulation. :P
