Remove rangers, necros, and engies

Yargesh.4965

Wonderful idea.
They really should remove all except warrior really.
Then remove all zones except CoF dungeon.
Then remove all players who can’t do speed runs.
Then only the real players who really know how to play would be left.

The only way is to try it and see. Nothing else is possible no matter what advice pro or con comes out of this thread. Since you have so little experience in game you will have a huge amount to do but there is no “must catch up” in this game since exotics will get you through 99% of content and they can be gotten with in game karma by the time you reach that need.
Run around, look at things, explore and before you know it you will be leveled and geared.

This is an mmo. Of course some things are going to be “unplayable” solo.

What are Anet's plans for this game?

1. We’re getting events EVERY month. It’s not just dragon bakitten’s also the other 2 living story parts, sab and holiday events.
2. Full trait overhaul coming for every class on June 25th. I’m absolutely sure that that takes a lot of man power.
3. Someone is forgetting WvW/Spvp updates, guild missions, fractals, new jumping puzzles, new cinematics for the story and other things that we constantly get.

Quality > Quantity
These updates have been sub-par so far, with the exception of the Molten Alliance Phase 2 & 3 updates.

I loved southsun phase 1, phase 2 was so so. I have enjoyed the story so far about the aerblade or whatever the spelling is. Will be interesting to see how it unfolds. The festival so far has been standard festival fare, some love it some hate it, I am in between.

Magic Find [merged]

Yargesh.4965

Thank-you.

Hey all, no worries, we got you covered.

Weapons, armor and trinkets with magic find will become account bound, lose their current stats and will gain the ability to be double-clicked to select one of several stat options depending on the item.

For example, if you have an Explorer’s Pearl Staff, you can now double-click it to change it to any other crafting stat.

We will have a blog post about it with more extensive information as well, keep an eye on the website.

They have stated long ago that the living story is divided into 4 groups. They have stated that these groups are a small part of the total with projects being worked on by other teams that have not been released yet. They stated that they did not have a clear idea of how they where going to release said content. They have I am sure decided this by now and it is only a question of when. Since China is going live within a month or two I would guess that is the when.

Suppose for an instant that they believed that one of the people on this thread was absolutely right and they would not live another second without implementing all of the ideas. Since there are contradictory examples on this thread what are you others going to do? Will you say wow that person was so wonderful and now the game is perfect (one person maybe will say this) the rest will go on with your ideas about how messed up the game is until they listen to the “right” person.

Characters on different servers?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

All characters are based on one server. You cannot switch servers now without paying but you can choose to guest on another server. You cannot WvW on those servers however.

So I enjoyed GW2 for a short while with friends before real-life took over for a time and I found myself without any time to play. I intended to jump back in today only to find all my friends have jumped to another server as part of a free transfer that I’ve clearly missed. I figured I’d make another character on that server (as my first one wasn’t all that high level anyway) but I can’t see any way to do that.

Is it possible?

Lets talk about the new Gem conversion [Merged]

I don’t want this new fixed conversion. If I want gems I throw in whatever gold I have ‘extra’. It may be fifty gold or thirty or whatever not 400 or 800 or whatever gems amount.

*HOT SPOILERS* So I finished the PS again

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

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?

OP was more saying that despite not being ‘epic’ and not being about me me me, at least it had a nice ending. Which is more than HoT can offer. So no, the PS didn’t just magically get better, but we found a spot to appreciate in comparison to the end of HoT

Could be, but to me the ending was more of a segue. Yes one thing ended but another thing began. The Arah was done with a complete stop in mind with the writing style.

Wildstar vs GW2 combat depth

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

The definitions of depth vary so much to be meaningless.
From my game play of wildstar, you can combine your own skills with other players, you can combine your skills with environmental effects (certain ‘plants’/areas that do damage or heals depending on your chosen path). I personally did not find the combat amazing but I did not find the game itself amazing either. Several people have and do find it amazing and is the type of game you need to experience yourself to get a good impression.

Spend several hours getting as detailed as you want and look at the back of the characters head from then on. Also can’t see fine details of other characters unless you are standing still and very close. A lot of effort for not a huge amount of gain.

Still no Dueling?!

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

Or you people are the vocal minority and the rest of the players really wants dueling.

The number of people crying to not add dueling vs. people wanting to duel does not matter.

Correct. What matters is people who want to duel can go to PVP and duel. There’s no need to add another feature when the neccessary framework is already there.

Duel servers exist for me to grief there!

You admit griefing in closed PvP arenas but somehow you would not grief in open world PvE areas. Makes sense.

Who said I would not try to grief there? ANet should design it so I can’t.

You are an excellent example of open world duelling.

Seriously commander tag needs to be cheaper

I have a question, the wiki article is a bit unclear about this. To join a squad do I need the commander compendium? And if yes, why in Tyria’s Gods’ name did they do that?

To join a squad you need nothing except another player with a commder tag up.

Nothing has been missed so far because nothing has happened. You need to go to http://dulfy.net/2013/01/29/gw2-living-story-refuge-volunteer-events-guide/ to get the title that came out first. While there kill some dredge and char that come out of portals. If you find something glittery on the ground pick it up. 2 objects get taken to Lions arch SE corner and returned to people that lost them. Very, Very slow and annoying buildup.

Respawn timer punishes solo players

Frankly getting in over my head is how I learn the game. I have no problem with a character dying. To me that is part of the game, next time I don’t die. Something else will kill me but that as I said is the enjoyable part of game. The cost to repair is not huge, the loot you will get is not good but enough for the few silver no matter what level you are. I run greens in Orr since that is the set I put the most Magic Find on. Did not have a huge problem before the fix and don’t have a huge problem now. Do I still die there? Yes. Does it impact my enjoyment? No.

Question/s about legendaries and crafting.

in Players Helping Players

Different legendaries require different crafting check out the ones you are interested in on the wiki. Also will give you more of an idea of materials needed, dungeons needed to run, WvW track that needs to be finished and total gold if you just want to buy instead of taking time for the materials to accumulate. GW2efficiency also gives an option to use what is in your inventory to see reduction in costs.

To add to Naqaj if you do Guild teq there is no reason for anyone but your guild to swamp you. If for some reason there is a large number on the zone you would as a guild all wind up on your own. If there where a couple of others on the zone and some guild members went to a different variant you just start taxing into the lower guild based instance like you do now with overflows.

Boss events

Yargesh.4965

If no commander tag is up 5 min before Teq LFG out to another map. If there are commanders on the map and the switch prompt shows up ignore it, you have an hour and the boss lasts 20 minutes at most. Commanders do absolutely nothing but they are a psychological crutch people need. I have seen 3 commanders go to the same defence location and still things work out.
