Guild Wars 2

beside some obscure asian games I have no clue about, this MMORPG probably has the biggest community short of WoW. I have no idea about your level, but you may find starter zones rather empty though. Most people have probably moved beyond them.

Gaiscioch [GSCH] is a permanent feature of Sanctum of Rall. As a long standing gaming community active since 2001 [GSCH] lobbied very hard to get SoR named after their member Roger Rall (1946-2011).

[GSCH] members have of course always been free to roam and if they want to play WvW with friends in other servers I personally don’t see anything wrong with that and SoR will always be here to welcome them back when they come home.

[GSCH] is not just staying in SoR it will exert every effort to ensure that the server is active and that it will last as long as possible in memory of Roger Rall, in fact you can guest with us and participate in several of the community PvE and WvW events open to Rallians and guests from other servers alike, sponsored by guilds such as [GSCH] which also hands out prizes for participation such as Legendaries on a weekly basis.

SANCTUM OF RALL – MORE FUN BEYOND BORDERS!

If Any Anet Staff are coming down to Singapore, let me know(I have the contact list for a bunch of Singapore GW players) so that we can an unofficial catch-up with you all, even if its a day.

No problem on my server shrug
That’s why this system exists in the first place. The game needs more fights like tequatl, tbh. I think the wurms are a little bit to hard to kill them daily but tequatl is just about right.

This is the true end of season one. Anything you guys saw in game was clearly a lie and not real at all.

Actually, I’m quite surprised how snarky moderators get sometimes on these forums. Once it was in response to people who were rude, another time, not really. I don’t care. Everyone here is a paying customer. Doesn’t reflect well on ANet at all imo. I can only think of two examples, though. Maybe they are not representative.

A paying customer does not have the right to be rude, I do not care how much they pay.

Id be more worried about what is causing your computer to crash to be honest, rather than the rewards your missing.

I made this post in another thread but…

If there are other explorable areas, will we find other pale tree’s?

A sylvari named Malyck claims there are other pale trees and he came from a different one…..

I think that would be a good direction to go.

It’s an anxiety thing and as someone with anxiety, I was rather disgusted by them adding this. Because it was treated like nothing more than a joke.

Not really? It’s no different then Tami with her legs, or tybalt with his paw….it makes the characters more real. Not every hero is perfect, some have personal challenges which is what I think anet is trying to portray. I didn’t laugh at the scene, I thought (man points) it was cute. Also had an anxiety disorder.

I thought it was funny. It makes her more real—everyone has their little quirks and tics. Hers is nervous hiccups XD

That’s been a character trait of Kasmeer since the Nightmare Tower. Kasmeer hiccups when she’s nervous. Marjory commented on it at one point.

I just got back myself. I played it briefly when it was launched but quit a few months in because my friends stopped playing it and got bored playing alone.

Recently I finished FF14’s latest content and decided to give GW2 another shot. Am absolutely loving it! Its really improved a lot since the early days. I hope this game will continue to improve and last for more years to come.

Thank you Anet for making the ele class and making it interesting

I’m from SoR and it’s WvW is far from dead. The Rallian militia is generally made up of those who refused to commit to a particular hardcore guild anyway and they are just as experienced, stubborn and greedy for bags as ever but now have too few familiar tags to follow, making eotm a tempting if temporary option for them.

Lately though a lot of people who used to avoid WvW have started to get their feet wet and i’ve seen many old names which I haven’t seen in a long while stepping up to bat. The effectiveness and efficiency of the the hardcore guilds is sorely missed but SoR has a very good community from which to draw from for WvW and eventually we should be able to rebuild our numbers although coverage will now play a much larger role in which tier SoR will settle upon in the near future.

One thing I have learned from GW2 is that without a Trinity games end up lacking strategy and combat depth and become nothing more the zerg dps something down. Wildstars trinity is an interesting twist on something many of us have come to love. It brings a new perspective on an old ideal.

If you are a solo player Wildstar has content for you.
If you are a raider Wildstar has content for you.
If you are crafter Wildstar has content for you.
If you are into player housing wildstar has content for you.
If you are into exploring Wildstar has content for you.
If you are a PvPer Wildstar has content for you.

Games really don’t need a trinity. In fact, the trinity is detrimental to the depth of build making and combat.

If I’m the DPS and only the DPS I don’t need to consider the ability to take aggro or healing because that’s not my job. That forces my build to be very linear.

When I’m fighting as a DPS, my almost only focus is doing as much damage as possible, therefore there’s a limited amount of mechanics I can be exposed to, because otherwise it’d be throwing a curveball at me.

I like how the current LA event’s concept. There’s so much crud flying around and so many enemies you will take aggro and damage, whilst you need to kill enemies fast. I potentially have to consider quite a few things in my build, making it interesting. Now realistically it isn’t quite as interesting because the event has now moved away form actually trying to complete the events to basically zerging up and farming the heck out of it, but the idea is much more interesting than if I just had to go and spec for DPS.

On your second point, you could say that about any game that was designed to actually stay off life-support for a few years. Just because it has them doesn’t mean its going to be done well.

I could not disagree with you more.

And in fairness I think GW2 has proven the lack of a trinity – while , convenient for some is about as shallow as you can get.

Also the lack of a trinity means DPS is the only stat that matters which yields poor content design, poor gear choice selection, poor build selection and poor programmed AI.

All these things are apparent in GW2 at this time.

Do you remember how the trinity was in early games? It sucked. It was all tank and spank.

Guild Wars 2 is doing something relatively new. Until developers learn what can and can’t be done with that relatively new system, it will seem shallow.

The encounters ARE improving if you’ve paid attention. Most dungeons sort of suck but I’m pretty sure that dungeons like the new TA path are much better than the original ones.

Three, four years from now, the time it really takes devs to learn a new system, the stuff coming out will be much better.

Saying a new system not being very good is not working is probably a gross overstatement.

GW1 sucked and I only played it for the 30 HoM points rewards.

If you want to play it, it’s still there in all it’s glory.

I dont know where you got the january date OP but around end of january they said the state of the game post would hit sometime soon after living world season 1 wraps up

“Once the current living world season is completed, we’ll do a “state of the game” update summarizing the major features under production for the big feature release, as well as where we’re headed beyond that feature release.“ ~Colin Johanson”

A DPS race without strategy and control is a recipe for a party wipe.

All the Little talking that goes on in Tyria… there is Always new NPC chatter to listen to. I love just Walking around listening to these Little talks and discussions going on everywhere! It makes the World come so alive!

You must be new to video games…

Well this is more about MMO games, not games in general. I played a couple MMOs and whenever I wanted something in them I would be able to get it. It wasnt dependant on my luck but on my effort/time spent.

What MMOs did you play?

Every single serious MMO available is pretty much designed around making players grind until they get a lucky drop that they need so that they can be geared enough for content.

At least in GW2, the only stuff that requires RNG for drops is just a cosmetic upgrade.

What can’t you get that isn’t obtainable through time spent? ie accumulation of gold or crafting?

I’d hate to return to the “/roll for a diff piece of loot in every diff instance” days of mmos….I loathed that system – the weeks and months I spent in some games just to get an item which became obsolete a few patches later was heart breaking at times.
