Guild Wars 2

Why someone would buy GW2 to whine about the lack of trinity when ARENANET ADVERTISEMENT HIS GAME FOR YEARS SAYING GW2 WOULD NOT HAVE A TRINITY?

Can’t say I do, sorry.

I hate trinity,thanks Anet for not putting this unfair feature in game that always make certain classes welcome in groups wile others (usually assassins) are not welcomed and cant find pt entire day for a dungeon

Honestly, I kind of wish it was entirely nuked beyond all repair.
I’ve never been that big of a fan of it, prefer the race cities, that are completely empty 100% of the time because LA exists.

I was hoping that the dragon the Scarlet was working to unleash was Primordous, and he was under LA, and the whole place got submerged in lava and destroyers or something. But no dice.

Not to mention it’s just so boring compared to the other cities.

You should take anime and movie industries too, those may also take players from GW2. Since some in this thread are going to the extent of saying that MMOs should compete with shooters and single-player console-focused games, then we may do that as well.

Yesterday people compare korean grind fests to quality western MMOs, not realizing that some flash players have +100 millions players in asia and today this. Some people are ignorant to the point, they want to complain in any way possible.

GW2 and Wildstar will not be allowed by NCsoft to directly compete and in theory destroy each other. That would mean a weaker bottom line. They are targeted at different crowds they are set-up with different players in mind.

ESO is no real competition, people will try it for a month then after they experience how truly bad it is they will go back to their MMO’s of choice.

Most of the games you listed are single player, people will get them play a bit get bored and come back. And ESO wouldn’t call it a mortal enemy. Got few beta invites, the game is bad, actually really bad. I doubt i would be getting it even if it was B2P like GW2, yet they want monthly fee for it and gem store on top of it. It will sink faster than SWTOR.

sigh

When will this teen “fashion” trend end? I thought post-Twilight movies but it hasn’t passed yet.

You know they have a whole playable race that comes with free cat tails?

I am all for an in game library of books. Maybe even a home instance library collection we could fill out.

Maybe scraps to compile into books could be found in different zones of the world (depending on the book focus), to encourage players to go back to them?

Actually I never liked having money stored in my bank, it was inconvenient while leveling a alt if you need to buy something having to find a bank or crafting station to access your bank to fund the alt, the wallet was really a QOL item that makes everything easier, I can’t say it’s ever really caused any problems because I can see all the gold I have, if anything it makes me spend less.

I will only support this if they also allow marriage between same gender. Just no human/animal/cabbage/alien stuff.

Fun fact: The humans are actually the aliens.

Players are babied and hand held enough.
The problem is bad players are not punished. If someone lays dead at a boss or event for more than 15 secs, they should lose all credit for it.
If they are afk or hiding and not actually damaging the boss, their contribution should go down and get far less rewards.
They don’t need to be handheld anymore, they need to be accountable for lack of caring or effort.

Flytrap.8075:

How are they designed to fail if zerged when zerging is the only way to take them down?

Your point does not make any sense. All I have seen from the last few Living Story updates are people stacking on PvE commanders; if anything, the Living Story was better in the beginning and started going downhill with the Queen’s Jubilee.

Events in Gw2 scale. Take the rescue in the last Living story. When a large zerg went to stop miasma release the event scaled and with the scale up the requirements of how many mobs needed to be killed before the timer was up also increased. Add to that the mobs quality also increased with it, instead of regulars an veterans with regular hit points you had elite and champions with tons of hit points and it became nearly impossible to kill enough mobs before the timer went out with the consiquence the event would fail. Added to that because most of the players were with the zerg doing the events not enough people would be around saving villagers. Added to that because the miasma event failed the miasma level increased meaning people had less time to reach the 1200 villagers required for the top reward.

you didnt need 100 players to win a miasma event 3 – 5 people was enough to win easily and quickly before the timer expired.

Same mechanic is employeed with the clockwork invasions.

Marionette was actually constructed to artificially ensure the event cant be zerged by actually locking players in small instances and prevent them from grouping up using force fields.

The current living story event is actually the only one event in this Living world season thats actually not doing anything to dissuade zergs and thats because I suspect it would be hard to come up with a reason story wise that would make sense to disuade people from grouping up. I mean you’re storming the villain what possible reason that makes sense to split up could they come up with? And mind you they still did it to a degree by having champions tied to achievements all over the map, have 3 watchknights that need to be defeated on a timer and the hologram scarlet event tries to split people into sections with line attack that lingers for a while and further tries to split people inside sections through the use of the colour buffs you need to pick up as well as 3 coloured holograms at opposite ends of the room not to mention that the final encounter is an instance. So even though this last LS doesnt punish people for zerging it still tries to get them to seperate using carrots basically.

I dare ArenaNet make a poll for every player to rate the first “season” of Living Story, the anticipation of the next season, and publish the result.

The sample size might be too small to make it a valid poll…

ANet does not really want to know what people think of their LS, they prefer to stay somewhere over the rainbow with unicorns pooping rainbows.

so the sample of “people who experienced living story” is too small to make it valid to analize “opinions of people who experienced living story”?

The sample size of “people who actually fill it out” or “people who don’t just log in to troll the poll”.

Seriously, how many people would come back to their accounts JUST to put down all 1/10s for content they didn’t play in a game they don’t want to come back to otherwise?

Nightarch.2943:

They need to end this temporary content train as soon as possible. The hole they dug for themselves is starting to look like an abyss.

The only thing that looks like an abyss is the grave that this thread has been necro’d from.

Tell your husband to man the kitten up. If he can’t handle his male character casting a few butterflies then there are other issues at play here that don’t have to do with the game.

Sorry, OP, but I disagree, as well. This is like me asking for GW2 to change the necro effects because locusts with the green and black color combo are “boyish” and it off-puts my fancy pink lady sensibilities™. I mean, my female Asura necro is not only forced to wear boy versions of armor but also must endure the black and demony corpsified color scheme.

I actually really like that there’s no gender difference for the effects of Mesmers and Necros because, as someone upthread said, the “this color/thing is for boys”, “this color/thing is for girls” is being side-eyed, discussed and found inadequate lately in most academic circles. It pleases me greatly that video games are letting that mentality leak in.

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.

People became too choosy. They forgot, that other MMO projects have their updates once per six months\year and community of these projects prays that was implemented at least part of what they want.
I want to sincerely thank ANet for the excellent work they are doing for us.

I want to make something very clear and thats that Colin never said this feature build that contains a lot of features would be “expansion sized”. The op must have misread something, perhaps it was from an interview back in january where colin mentioned a lot of expansion content they plan on adding but weren’t quite sure which medium they’d release it through. Content and features are generally two different things. Content(maps/dungeons/races). Features being, well features. Perhaps new utilities, new weapon/class matchups, a living story recap tool?, wardrobe?
