Where is list of North Korea’s most popular mmorpgs?

don’t think they are allowed to play mmorpgs

New players? Map completion and harvesting will get you to 80 in 20ish hours. This gives you a hands on feel of the game, the environment and your character of choice. After you get used to the game the above works.

Im to the point that im ready to stop gambling wars 2 and looking for a new game unless i see a positive future.
Thank You for your hard work, even though it is very hard to notice sometimes.

Ahem

Mark Katzbach.9084:

It’s also worth pointing out that some people use claims of quitting the game as an attention-getting tactic, when in fact they are still quite active.

This is what intrigues me about people who ‘quit’, but yet stay in the forums active. Sure, maybe they quit in game, but they like being active in the forums to still point out flaws or denounce something whatnot.

But there’s the key. The quitters are still paying attention to the game, keeping the forums active (a dead game forum is scarier than one populate by complaints, then you know the game is in trouble if no one even talks).

Some quitters are simply waiting for anet to add something they like, then they’ll be back. Some may just wait for it to hit a higher popularity so they can slip back in and be part of it. Some may be here to denounce the game because they feel cheated in spending money and eventually not liking the game, justifying it as some kind of ‘revenge’ or ‘payback’.

But either way, its activity. They are still invested in the game despite saying I quit. And look at what happens. The NPE changes, the ‘quitters’ denounce and other players denounce, it gets attention on gaming websites. They get attention. The NPE, for good or bad, reached some of those who didn’t like it in the first place, and although its ‘bad press’ (depending who you ask), they may try it to see why its now ‘bad’ and realize to them its better.

When I quit WoW, I made sure to quit anything related to it. I even quit going to mmochampion until the urge to play WoW again was gone. And it worked. I no longer cared about patch notes or expansions, or anything. I don’t care about the rage people have that a class got super buffed or something. If anything, I am an outsider looking in, and reflecting back, I was shocked how I was just like that at some point.I kinda laugh at it now.

So here’s my advice quitters: if you want to truly quit, and not deal with gw2 ever again. Then stop. Stop everything. Don’t come to the forums, don’t read up on any news about gw2, don’t go to gw2guru. Go cold turkey. If you can’t, if you persist, then you are keeping the forums active and you are still showing signs of some willingness to come back. You haven’t truly quit, you are as active as ever.

I agree. The mindset reminds me of the Terry Pratchett line about how gods on the diskworld love atheists because their belief burns so bright.

Since companies figured that out years ago and started hiring people to keep forums populated with cheery threads there is almost zero chance that any MMO game forum will ever be dead.

Some of us stay around because we do actually have hope for the game and really want it to bring us back. Then we see more stuff that pushes us farther away and we are upset because we really do want the game to be great. But we want it to be great at being a game not at being great at milking money from the playerbase.

Got to say am not impressed with this theory. Asking for change great, calling them fools that employ shills and lie all the time, absolutely useless.

Hitting craft all and getting dowels due to not paying attention.
Just starting the game equipping axe on ranger, attack one moa and wonder why all of them are attacking me.
Opening threads by people who I know have been saying the same thing for years and finding them saying the same thing and wondering why I open and read the threads (not this thread by the way).

Strange, I read ‘In GW1’ and stop reading posts now.

Guild Wars 2 ?@GuildWars2 8h

Reviewed our China plans today – super excited – it’s not far off. #GW2 as a global phenomenon takes a huge step forward with this launch.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/GW2-unlikely-to-get-expansions-Interview

I have a full light and medium set sitting in my bank because they just do nothing to my game play. The heavy set I have on my rev because it was there and I could not be bothered to craft a new set. Really up to you op if you make them. They may turn out to be useful for me at one point but right now they just helped me get some achievements done.

kokiman.2364:

Don’t forget, the whole team stopped working on GW2 until they released this outside-of-GW2 minigame.

This plus everyone who works there hates this game. I hear they also kick kittens (thus the choice of censor word). Seriously get a grip OP.

cranos.5913:

AlexEBT.7240:

well let’s just say the population drop will become quite the problem the next few months.

People say that almost every patch. lol

World bosses will be better now. Overflow will practically be eliminated and guilds get the option to tackle them as a proper organised group.

People say that EVERY patch, and every week that goes by without a patch and every time a new and shinny different game announces they will kind of sort of release in the next decade.

I find it curious that some groups kill him super fast while others are failing miserably.

…since i understood how that exploit works, i’m no longer surprised by those speed kills.

I don’t think it’s an exploit exactly.It was here for atleast 2+years and Anet still hasn’t done anything.I think what they only have to increase the critting spots.

I’m not talking about the crit spot. I am talking about that new guard bug.

can someone explain to me how this is a bug? Not debating here, just trying to understand, doesn’t it just 10% damage to enemies standing in the symbol?

10% for each symbol

4 symbols per guardian

20 guardians

= 800% damage increase

50k hits per auto attack are fairly simple.

This is why Teq is succeeding, not any magic strategy. They forgot to limit it to each guardian or one symbol.

It succeeds without this as well. Shame people need crutches.

Blissified.8369:

But now that i see ANOTHER big content update, i’m starting to realize maybe a.net really will work their buts off with the money they gain.

The money you spend in the gem store does not necessarily go to ANet, it goes to NCSoft. They choose to allocate it how they wish, you very well could be funding an expansion for Lineage for all we know.

Of course it goes to NCsoft. ANET is paid by them to develop the game. Just like every other division of every other company in the world, the point is to divide your talent hopefully optimally and pool your resources.

AnniMira.2506:

I added many people to the friend list just because they had interesting item which about I wanted to ask more. Most often I did not ask. I also have added many who organize Tequatl events, so that I may contact to them if I have a question. Things like that.

So, there should be different lists. Or a list with tags and comment fields. I suggested a comment field month ago so that I would know why I have added a person to the list.

You can tag each person with a comment. I have various such as events I do with different people or if they are commanders of various things/guilds.
I don’t understand the stalking fear. You can report for abuse and it is easy for anet to check chat logs. You can block everyone if you want and never get a whisper from them.

Has been discussed very many times. I personally can’t see why they would want to split profits and need approval from another company for any and all updates and hotfixes.
No win at all until the game goes into maintenance mode like guild wars 1.

For me, salvage blues and greens. I now use the copper fed salvage o matic
Salvage yellow armour, mf yellow weapons. Mystic forge salvage kits
Look at the price and either sell (armour and weapons), salvage (armour) or mf (weapons). Black lion kits gotten from dailies monthlies before the change.

yeah turning off swiftness for jp’s would be great. I hope there is a toggle when the expansion is released.

Every time i ask for some changes about more skills or more GW1 like contend i
get the same answer.
“GW2 is not GW1 get used to it”
Well… i guess i have to live with that. But how comes that we get the lukewarm
stuff recycled from GW1 presented as something game changing……

An example you ask ?

GW1 Eye of the North:
-Dragon pops up, having minions destroying the country.
-Group of people who could fight them have no interest being involved
-You bond group to fight the Dragon
-Defeat it

rings a bell ?????
…

Yeah, Dragonslayer (the movie)!!!… no wait… Flight of the Dragons!!!… no wait… Conan the Destroyer (well, was an ancient god instead of a dragon, but still)… no wait… Krull!!! (ok, ancient alien being)… no wait.. The Hobbit!!!.. no wait… Dungeons and Dragona!!.. no I got it… Record of Lodoss Wars…

Or did you mean The Wheel of Time series? Chronicals of Narnia? Or the Odyssey? Or many of the Greek/Roman myths? Or the battle of Thermopylae? What about WW2? WW1?

All these share the same theme/story. A small group/single person needs to convince/band together to fight off a greater evil. Whether it be dragons/gods/evil power or whatever. The theme is still the same. Thats not really ever going to change.

Except they all probably have better syntax and formatting than the OP.

Dulfy gets the majority of her information by tapping in to a large population willing to go out and find things. There has been 2 times that I know of where she and other press representatives got a sneak peak. All other times you can actually see data being added to the knowledge as more people do and find things. Just because you don’t look around does not mean that everyone does the same and only gets handed the information from developers.

Never have seen an empty map.

that is so much bs lol
there is a big reddit thread about this too and other sites had this complain too but ok

I, me, this person typing have never seen an empty map. Badly organized absolutely, never empty.

Sure thing, you have 5 free slots to play with. Your ideas will change over time though so be sure to leave a spot. I thought guard would be wonderful and while it is good and others love it I personally find it kind of meh. That is why I said earlier personal preference plays more of a role than which class/species to play.

Mark Katzbach.9084:

As Colin mentioned in this blog post, “Due to the size and scope of the final four story releases in season one, the next round of major features will be bundled together into a large “feature only” release that will come after the first season of the Living World 2014 has finished.”

More information on this feature release will come available after the current living world arc wraps up.

Well, last week the last of the 4 patches was release.

The final living world release has been stated to be coming on the 18th. It will only be a summary release to recap the story from what I have read.
People are winding themselves up tighter than is healthy.

Soon they will be ‘forcing’ you to buy the expansion under your logic. Guess you have a busy forum time ahead of you.

Basic gliding yes, everything else is just a bonus (except in the jumping puzzle where you absolutely need advanced gliding for the very last leg). Since it is the very first mastery opened I would think by the time you got to Ember bay you would have some unlocks done along that line.
Heart is not bugged the heart vendor maybe.
There are so many destroyers around that if you just hit them they add up.
Again there are tons of destroyers around.
Why?

Nassara.9154:

wait! can you participate in the current living story episode even if you are a lowly level 50? (I am only 15 days into the game)

The last living story you where upscaled to 80 for the events/areas while the story was active. Since they have made everything permanent this time around you are no longer upscaled.

Mad Rasputin.7809:

That is what is wrong with the population.

ANet has kicked its playerbase around so often, they have gotten used to being pushed around and abused. The playerbase has acclimated itself to the abuse and excuses and has just accepted it. We the playerbase even start making excuses for ANet.

Not very different from a battered person syndrome.

If you equate this game with that you have absolutely no clue.

Why was something silly yet could lead to interesting game play added to a game. You really need to ask this question don’t you.

As above, you should only notice which server you are on with WvW not PvE. A map opens, if it fills a new map opens. If a large number of people arrive for an event or series of events and then leave multiple servers open and then close as the population goes back to what it was before the event(s).

The picture in the OP is the ship used in the last living world episode. It is how we got to Orr.

Don’t recall seeing too many half naked males or females here in Scandinavia during the winter outdoors either, that black dead tissue look from frostbite seems to not be a thing in fantasy games either.

i noticed people sell items and gold in ebay, is it legal to buy from there? or is it banable?

Buy the game, probably. Not a chance that buying gold and items is allowed. Get caught lose your account. Up to you.

Condi, power, precision is closest, Sinister recipes gotten from silverwastes.

why do a necro act on this post?

I did not like this set up at all. I actually did story mode before I knew I needed it for personal story, it did not get counted so I needed to do it again. That took me about a month to do including time before fractals came out.
As to forced WvW for monthlies and world complete, I will never get either. Just absolutely hate pvp even on large scales.

Ardenwolfe.8590:

If I had to guess, any feature pack or fix will be included in or with the expansion when it’s released. Nothing else, as far as updates, will come about until then because it wouldn’t make any sense.

Heart of Thorns is the focus for now. Everything else is moot. This iddy-bitty seasonal event didn’t tell everyone that already?

Yeah the division of the ls into tiny pieces spread over a long time indicated they have only the release of the expansion in mind now.

Guaranteed that the same posters complaining about how silent ANET are will be posting how overhyped the release today was.

Permanently there now, once bought (or if you log in during a 2 week session) they are available for as long as you play.

dostunuz.3982:

TO ALL NEW PLAYERS PLEASE READ

Roll a Warrior and go for full Berserker gear. You will very much enjoy in both dungeons and PVE stuff. You do not read any other class than warrior trust me.

No, sorry. Make up your own mind on what is fun. Warrior is the default class that every game has, but it is not anywhere near the ‘best’, or for that matter what many find fun.

Yes you are the best, great to know.

There have been several posts in Player helping player subforum where they have been able to get together enough to take either guild hall. I used people I know in game. I think I have seen people claim to have taken with 3, myself I have taken with 4 people total. Have less than 9 so you only have 1 spawn point and all is good. As Pax above I have private guild halls and while it takes time (shovels and celestial) it can be progressed.

Vol.7601:

5000 gold and a few precursors pls

also free ascended pls

maybe throw in 3000 gems too while we’re at it

Your vision is not big enough.
All mats kitten t6 to the max possible (with expanded storage), every skin unlocked to date, enough gems to crash the price down to 10s each.
If you repeat it often enough you can then say the company lied when these things don’t show up.

EDIT: I am going to leave the kitten in the above, it is just so cute.

From the amount of MF% that I have recieved from salvage etc I don’t think I will need to worry about what to do with the Essence of Luck for a long long time.

For three years there were only posts about how horrible the finish to personal story was. It was not ‘epic’ it was not me me me being the center of attention. Now the violins and sugar comes out?

Same type of post on the weekend. Probably has the same fate. Oh and martyr drama is really boring.

They could consider giving a bonus chest to all members of a group if anyone in that group has not gotten a kill on a particular boss. Might give a little incentive to invite fresh members in once in a while. Should not be enough to get farmed in an exploitative way (yeah I know people love finding loop-holes).

Flowerpower.6795:

Yes i play the game since launch and know about lions arch and so on.

Danikat.8537:

It just doesn’t have cruel or violent anti-heroes turning on their allies for personal gain.

I think that is exactly what i am asking for. I dont like this good/evil and nothing between stuff. I want those evil characters that turn on their allies and actually i want to do so myself if possible :P

Wait for Lazurus, you can see that one from a mile away.

Nick.6972:

And what will Arena Net do to keep player in GW2 once clearly more superior Everquest Next comes? Continue their 2 week 1 hour checklist content?

Clearly superior? A game that will not be out for probably a year and a half is clearly superior? Wish and dreams do not make good comparisons.

Is it just me or would others want to see the op actually kicked in the teeth then sit down and discuss the difference?

Stars,
too long 5/5
indulgent 5/5
biased 5/5
well done.

Adry.7512:

once again arenanet…..very BAD idea….enjoy ur nr1 tittle for 2012….because you will never and i mean never in your life be in even a top3 official tier of any year ever again. its simple, none of you have the cognition to make a good game actually stay….good, period….very sorry, but you dont.

instead of probably taking down this comment or thread, try to take into consideration the fact that you fell off in less than a year of your “nr1” game being out. take it to heart, because you deserve it.

What? A little incoherent rage goes a long way.
