Guild Wars 2

No, if anything I’d argue that this game needs more types of small group content. There are plenty of options for zerg-style play for those who enjoy it.

I rather they keep dungeons to five man instances. Open world events are such lag fest and it’s not so enjoyable at times when the mobs get dpsed down so fast that I couldn’t get a hit in, not to mention those who love spamming visual effects. Also it’ll make it just like another world event boss where we’d have to wait for the respawn timer.

I do not see Anet as being completely abandoning dungeons, it’s just not on the top list as of now. Honestly, I see it as more of an underpromise technique. It’s already a plus that this game needs no subs, so if I’m bored I know I could just drop it, play other games or read a book or something, and jump right back in when I feel like it.

Just because they’re focusing on open world, does not mean they have to make everything open world. Also how is making dungeons open world a way that it won’t be forgotten content? As an instance, at least we have the loop hole of saying ‘this occured in the past’ in a bubbled event, as oppose to it being brought up to speed to follow current events, thus they do not need to rethink or remake the maps/story/quest too hard.

If another player’s experience can be ruined by PROPERLY playing the game, then it is time for that part of the game to be revised.

I’m sorry to say that, in my opinion this is the most ridiculous comment that could be made.

Well crap, I know what I’m doing tonight.

I won’t rehash the arguments for or against Commander Tags in PvE or otherwise. They have their uses, but many people find them irritating and nothing more than a kind of visual spam.

And now, of course, with the upcoming changes, there are swarms of them clogging almost every map.

The solution would be a Preference one can set so, if one wishes, one doesn’t have to see the things at all. Simple as that.

I think that they should have a daily rotating dungeon reward system.

In this case, the reward for running a dungeon path is increased, but is only available for a specific dungeon each day.

For example, let’s say today is Catacombs day.

Now you get 3g for each path (and 1g for story!). All other dungeons will NOT have a gold reward today but will have the one time token reward.

Tomorrow is Caudecus’s Manor day. Etc.

Please note that the gold amounts are for illustration purposes only and do not reflect any type of “balanced” value.

omg no. Maybe give a certain dungeon higher rewards for a day, but don’t scrap the rewards from the other dungeons of that day.

Why does everything have to be a competition? If people want to compete with one another, they have pvp modes for that. The have competition between servers through wvw. They have a leader board for fractals for competition. Why does pve, which is supposed to be cooperative, have to also have it too? Is there something inherently wrong with not having everything competitive?

A lot of who you would want to bring depends greatly on what dungeon you’re running and the rest of the composition.

For example, there are paths where you can bump Ranger over Thief and Engi because Frost Spirit and Spotter along with Warrior’s buffs create a freakin’ buzzsaw of damage along with a couple eles and a guardian.

Other paths (like Arah) can have bosses like Lupicus melt in seconds with a good Mesmer in the party.

It’s kinda funny in that regard, how there’s kinda a meta within the dungeon meta.

The tome of knowledge doesnt give you your traits, just levels.

if you would like to play the class that has the highest burst potentials

stay on warrior

if you would like to play the class with the most stealth

stay on warrior anyway.

Its probably better for you to be bored on your “OP” Warrior than frustrated and sad on any other class.

if we get elvel up chests
please give us the level up chests that we would have gotten so far… muahahahhaa
getting close to a thousand chests then..

uhm..
no.. i dont wan tto klick them all up XDD

Trial accounts are usually limited in their interaction with full members. Often times, they can’t trade/mail, as a way to hedge out their influence on the economy.

Problem is, goldspammers can use free accounts to whisper/map chat against TOS with very little consequence.

You could deny them map chat privileges, and even deny them whisper priveleges to accounts that haven’t added them or something. Its a trial account, so some restrictions are normal i suppose, especially to avoid active problems like this.

This could work on the forums too!

If enough players ‘attack’ the thread. The thread is deleted. That way the community can remove troll posts, clutter and stupid ideas.

Let’s start with this thread…

Duke Blackrose.4981:

Those unintended functionalities really are deserving of a nerf.

It’s been in the game since 2 years… what’s next? Salvaging dungeontoken armor/weapons is unintended aswell and will be removed?

Today I have to help my real friend run ‘World summit’ Story line for AP.
He failed almost 10 times but I’m not here to complain about difficulty. (which is not, for me)

Gameplay is fun and all.
Storyline is ok.
AP hunter have things to do.

But something ruined it all.
Yes your proudly present dialogue that player have to go through repeatedly for each attempt.

World Summit has 5 min dialogue. 10 try = 50 min without AFK. (AC 3 run)

As I recalled Anet always respect player’s time.
like…don’t have to run half map to return quest.

Pls let’s us skip all repeatedly dialogue and straight to the fight.
So we player can use that extra 50min in the game some where else. (and enjoy it)

Dusty Moon, most of the time I agree with you, but me and guildies are crashing even though we live no where near each other at the same time in the same zone. But not all of us. But it’s happened more than once…too often for it to be a coincidence.

And it just started recently.

game runs fine for me, so it must be somewhat a personal issue

SAB W2 also released at the same time as Ascended weapons which meant that a lot of the PvE focus was on grind grind grind rush rush towards Ascended instead of SAB.

SAB to be permanent!

How can a company ignore so many players with content that’s already developed?!

Why kill fun?? For what?

Vote up if you, like me, want SAB to be a permanent game-in-game! Those who don’t wana play it, don’t. And those who do, will be able to! Why the grief?!

Some things are just plain fun and shouldn’t be taken away on a whim.

Thank you,

Everyone! Stop crafting the new backpack of Mawdrey and Mawdrey II! It’s a trap, a trap to doom Tyria!

Don’t you think it’s odd? ArenaNet, before Season 2, began said that they want player choice to be bigger in Season 2 than Season 1 (where we had the election). But where is that choice? It certainly isn’t obvious. But what can ArenaNet monitor so well that not everyone doing the main story will do? It’s obvious, right? It’s the backpacks! Crafting, or not crafting, the backpacks will affect the future of the Living Story. How, you might ask? Why would this bring about the doom of Tyria? Because they’ll overgrow us and take over in the name of Mordremoth!

In 4 months time, when ArenaNet has had a chance to analize the results and build upon them, the backpacks will grow and the lies of their description being kind and cuddly will be revealed. They will stretch those tendrils around our characters necks and strangle them like they have done to so many NPCs around the world, and our characters will not be revive-able – for they are no longer knocked out like the defeated state, they are dead, and resurrection magic doesn’t exist anymore. Then with the heroes of Tyria gone, Mordremoth’s forces will spread ever eastward, a new day a new zone! And if most instances of the map doesn’t push back Mordremoth’s forces, they’ll take over. But because of all the backpacks, there won’t be enough level 80s to eliminate the threat in Dry Top, our characters that we’ll have to remake will be too low level to do anything in Brisban, and when they reach Rata Sum – no more asuran characters! When they reach the Grove – no more sylvari characters! Divinity’s Reach? The same! Hoelbrak and Black Citadel! You guessed it! And then, when Mordremoth’s forces inevitable encroach on the last bastions of Tyria, Ebonhawke and Deathblade’s Watch, and they fall, the PvE servers, and the game will be nothing but WvW and sPvP. The world of Tyria will be Mordremoth’s vineyard.

Yes, you can reroll necro now.

Vayne and I are usually on opposite ends of the spectrum on these venerated forums, but I gave him a +1 on this.
