Guild Wars 2

The Living Story releases can be roughly divided into 3 parts, Part 1 is completely free and permanently available for everyone, Part 2 is easier to access if you pay and Part 3 you have to pay for:

1) Open World Content
This includes the new maps, the achievements which can be completed on the open world (non-instanced) versions of those maps and the items which can be obtained there.

2) Story Instances
You can complete all of these for free if you find another player who has them unlocked and join their party. You’ll still see your character in the cut scenes and get to participate exactly as if you had it unlocked, you just can’t start the instances on your own.

3) Story achievements and unique items
These you have to pay for. Completing the story without it unlocked (as described above) won’t unlock the achievements and you won’t get the items at the end of it.

So what you could do is find someone else to play through the story with, and then having seen it for yourself check out the achievements and rewards on the wiki and decide if some combination of replayability, achievements items makes it worth the cost to you or not.

Also remember you can buy gems with gold, and playing on the new maps (particularly Silverwastes) can get you a lot of gold.

Why would you want to play them? The living story thing has killed this game. Instead of expansions we get some happy tree friends tedious adventure rubbish every month. Oh and some new hats and bags…..

Seeing that the game is alive and doing well means this statement is false. So really he is saying you should play them.

Yes I agree as well, they were fun episodes, can’t wait to see what is next.

Obviously i don’t regret doing it because i enjoyed gw. but if you have never played it and doing it just for the rewards which can take a lot of time then it’s not worth imo. up to op though.

50/50 and GWAMM here. Never regretted it.

I take it that your sister is new to MMOs?

Respawning enemies are pretty much a necessity when there are a million bloodthirsty characters roaming around and killing every living thing that’s not green.

I get it that it is immersion-breaking for mundane mobs like Dolyaks respawning out of thin air, but how would they respawn, then? Or should we remove all mobs that have no “explainable” way of appearing out of thin air?

Sorry if you’re complaining about med Guard and turret Engi in pvp, this is definitely a learn to play issue. Neither one of those builds are seen in high levels of play because they are extremely easy to counter. Also nobody runs pu Mesmer in pvp because they are next to useless, since they cannot contest points.

Overall this just seems like an angry rant, and you should come back when you calm down.

Op, the quote in your signature is wrong and it also has a typo.

…aaand here we go again, deliberately comically missing the point about obtaining a legendary vs. obtaining the legendary you want and will enjoy a bit more than for 10 seconds in each Swamp fractal.

This post makes just as much sense as “you can equip all your characters in Zojja’s Ascended without ever crafting” and “everyone can become the president of United States”, but whatever, it will draw the desired attention and make a particular person happy.

Not this again.

That’s all well and good if you just want a legendary and don’t care which one, or happen to really like Rodgort, Frenzy, or Kraitkin.

But most people want the ones for the weapons they actually use, and you know that kitten well.

Seems like we are just ending with another ‘’OMG, THE GAME IS DYING’’ thread.
Good luck. I fancy such useless threads because of all the rubbish.

This thread is very good and it should not be wasted, if Anet doesnt show its presence by commenting on a topic so popular when people like the OP dedicated A LOT of time to think and write such a good suggestions, then Anet simply doesnt respect its loyal players that want the best for the game. Thanks a lot OP, i personally like almost every suggestion you made

I use RNG to answer

Apparently my answer is:

I automobile forthcoming thus place 42 insurrection on red periodically.

Seconded, the answer given in the bug forum makes no sense. It was possible last year. Any reason involving “it isn’t possible” simply means that the game has apparently been downgraded to sub-par conditions and should be reverted back in that case.

Oh gods! I was better off not knowing!I was better off not knowing!I was better off not knowing!I was better off not knowing!

YOU’VE RUINED EVERYTHING FOR ME!

Keep trying, OP. You’ll come up with something that’s actually clever eventually…

Oh for the love of god stop whining so much you bunch of kitten.

The dailies before told you exactly what to do, it just so happens that you would complete them no matter what.

All you are doing is complaining that now you have to waste 2min of your life to complete them. Boo hoo, poor little thing.

I’m glad the living story and holiday patches are being kept separate. Having them together would be like the boss asking you to work on Christmas.

I dont see anything wrong with waiting a little bit, we will have Wintersday to occupy us, just as expected. Why should we have 2 patches at the same time? That doesn’t make sense to me.

Warriors, Guards, MEsmers and Ranger are good at using Greatswords, the other 4 classes cant handle it well.

^ This.

wiping coffee off my screen now.

This month (November) you had at least five you could complete in PvE and you only need four:

Monthly Completionist (4 Dailies)
Monthly Salvage Kits (500 Salvage)
Monthly Champion Slayer
Monthly Successful Events
Monthly Skillpoint Amasser

You can do any of these PvE monthlies without the Puzzle Jumper! What more do you need? xD

Completionist
Events
Salvage Kit Usage
Skill Point Amasser
Champion Slayer
Puzzle Jumper
Fractal Frequenter

Only takes 4 monthlies.

Can you imagine what glow dyes would eventually lead to?

Rave parties with Kralkatorrik and the Branded?

Yeah. Pretty much. xD

Im not exactly sure how to go about this, and its a bit of a lengthy post so ill try to cut it as short as I can.
A guild mate of mine and someone I played with for a very, very long time, is no longer with us. Sadly he passed away and I found out months later. He didnt log on for quite awhile and after months of stalking and such, I found out from his mother that my buddy passed away at his college. I was devastated and it still bothers me. I was wondering if theres anyway his toon or account name or something could get a grave stone in game? His mother was aware of how much he loved GW2 and even knew about me and other guildies which I thought was awesome. This may be a far fetched or weird request but its just something thats been on my mind for awhile. That is all, happy (30 min past but whatever) Thanksgiving.

His main characters name was/is Cee Pee, and his alt was/is Captain Platypus and Its Me Cee Pee. If anyone out there ever ran into him on TC, know that he loved this community like we were his real life friends. Again, thanks for reading, gnite.

As to the people complaining about ‘lack of content’

I remind you that you have been playing for nearly two years, and that the ‘lack of content’ is not a lack of content, its that you have finished the content.

There is more than enough content here to justify the price tag.

I’d agree with you if this wasn’t advertised as an MMO.

Shall I remind you, MMO: M = Massively(no where does it say the world needs to be gargantuan, just massive, I’d say Tyria qualifies), Multiplayer-check, Online-check…looks like GW2 matches that pretty well.

Siett, I hate to break it to you, but you can get to pretty much get to any dungeon in the game within a 10-15 minute walk (maybe 30 if you get sidetracked along the way), and that is with 0% exploration done.

It’s not that hard man. It’s really not.

I see no reason why this should be included in GW2.
