Guild Wars 2

I’d agree with you that if it had been an instanced raid tuned for twenty people it would have probably been fine and way more fun.

But the open world nature of it makes it impossible for most servers. All you need is one dedicated turret troll and it’s game over.

I’m glad they can be failed now. People took them for granted enough that some declared “I’m quitting” after not winning an event, ridiculous.

He may not be impossible but the fact that his rewards don’t nearly justify the difficulty means nobody will be doing this event unless they raise the difficulty of everything else as well.

Not to mention, this boss is designed around cheap, old fashioned, game mechanics like high health pool, insta-death, and repetitive periods of loss of control. In reality this boss only offers more of a challenge due to the increase damage, health, and forced coordination. This was the wrong way to approach an open world event.

Biggest problem with the game for me by far. I hate how this game handles conditions. It honestly feels like Anet doesn’t even acknowledge their existence. It’s ridiculous.

These things are collecting up in my bank and it seems like far to many are dropping as loot. Anyone else think the drop rate should be significantly lowered so that skills points don’t become the next broken currency? (Next after karma, which was given away far too freely).

OMG! You people will find anything to complain about.. Shut up already..pfft.. They will not become the next broken currency and no is your answer..

Okay, I’m not crying about it. Difficulty increase is good. However this is a full map of people that genuinely tried for 15 minutes. Look where his health is at.

Good choice twilight is overrated and overused.

It is possible, I think. The citizens of Ebonhawke see themselves as Ascalonians and do not see Jennah as their queen. I think that expanding Ebonhawke would be the next logical step, after signing the treaty.
It would make me a happy player if ANet went that route.

Now that dungeons are not worth farming, I’m stuck with a huge zerg of 80s running from champ to champ in Queensdale. Lord forbid you kill a champ out of the order they are running in. Lots of “nice” comments in Map chat if you do.

Many people are pointing out the problems within the game they think are holding this amazing game mechanics back – either it’s lack of new permanent content, the overall sluggish response from devs, PVP not even close to becoming an e-sport, etc.

And they’re all right. Absolutely correct. But they’re not addressing the root of the problem.

And the root goes to this:

http://www.pcgamesn.com/guildwars/guild-wars-2s-future-we-dont-need-expansion-pay-bills

what do I mean by that? I mean that this company is full of wonderful developers, full of amazing ideas and talents from the industry. What this company is not is a good business. Clearly the director does not understand that as a company, success is defined by GROWTH, not SUSTAINABILITY.

Yes, sure. Perhaps your current in game payment system can sustain your business. Pays for the office space, the devs salary, etc. But that’s not the point, is it? You should be aiming higher – more revenue – that allows for buying power. It allows for you to expand the company. Bring in more talents. More manpower means more content, faster.

Every post from Jonathan and other devs almost seem like a cry of frustration to me. They’ve got great visions. They’ve got the means, the plans, yet not enough man power. It’s been a year and yes, there have been significant changes but none of it enough. And now the only expansion of the team that’s been publicly announced had been that a communications position was filled to chat it up with players on forum, and that there’s a team working to expand to china. That’s it. Shame on you, the management team and the board of directors or whoever you are who ran this business to ground.

In the lore the latest Guild War was fought between the Charr Legions (GUILDS) and the three kingdoms of Tyria (GUILDS).
So, if In the lore there was GUILDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS FIGHTING (IN WAR WITH) other GUILDSSSSSSSS, why is there no GvG in the game?

You didn’t really read what people wrote, and showed you, did you?
Human guild versus human guilds fought among one another during the Guild Wars. That stopped once all of humanity realized that the charr were an actual threat to their civilization. Charr legions are not guilds, they are factions within charr society that took shape once the original leader of the charr dies, and his children fought one another to take his place.

“Guild Wars 2,” was only used as a marketing strategy to get players of the original game to buy this one. Guild Wars 2 was never going to be a successor of Guild Wars, as the two are vastly different. Even Guild Wars 2’s story makes no real connection to the first game, save for the fact that the enemy from the first, and last, Guild Wars expansion is one we sometimes see now. That being Primordus’ minions, with whom we haven’t even fought against.

GvG, the game type itself, wasn’t the driving factor of this game. It never was. Marketing was, which is why we have this game called Guild Wars 2. It’s a shame really, because a lot of this confusion would have been cleared had ArenaNet decided to name this MMO a different name, as I personally believe it should have been.

“little too easy”
Doesn’t mention bloodstone dusts at all….

1h swords would be swell as well, especially if we can get them on both main hand and off hand.

Normal swords (both hands) and Hammer.

In GW we seen them destroy the human kingdom and kill woman, children and elderly. Gwen’s story showed us they had human torture camps. They helped resurrect the titans that could have ended all intelligent life. They held humans for nearly a decade kept barely alive in small cages. They performed ritualistic human sacrifices.

They were bad guys. All of them. Then Pyre comes along and says “uhh yeah, our bad.” And we are just supposed to say “nah bro it’s cool”?

I tolerate them because they are a useful tool against the Dragons. They worked so well for the Lich almost ending the world and all.
