Guild Wars 2

Ok, one more time, then I’m gonna have to call it quits on this as there seems to be no resolve between us.

Btw crudely summarizing things I can do because. I don’t care to beat around the bush or split hairs. I’m of the old way, if it walks like a duck…….

Just want to make sure I understood your last post,
First you say everyone is entitled to their opinions. then you say your opinion is anet made a bad call. and should change it. So is your opinion more valuable than than those who do not think it was a bad call?
For the record, when you start making reference to other games, I honestly just skim over that, imo its comparing apples to oranges. The topic is Guild Wars.

As far as linking all the gw games, its a choice. you can or can not, any and all including gw2 can be linked to the same account. My main gw2 account is linked with same email/ncsoft account as prof/factions/nightfall.
Imo your are really trying to split hairs here to make your argument valid. Funny thing is, when you split a hair, even though its in 2 pieces. its still the same piece of hair.
I would love to see a response on this from anet. In a way I feel we have. But after 8 years of dealing with anet. many, many times, they never post a response but leave their actions as “this is our response” figure it out.

IMO-
The Celestial gear was a test to see how to community would to the new way of crafting.

I’m pretty excited.. the only thing that I’m disappointed in is:

NO TENGU.

boooo.. Also.. the Precursor acquisition sounds more like grindy crafting than scavenger/legendary adventure. kinda lame.

We knew ascended armor was coming since November. It’s your fault for deciding to equip all your alts with exotics.

I agree entirely. Also correct me if I’m wrong but it sounded like the comment that all ascended gear would be account bound that if you craft it you won’t be able to sell it, and if you get a drop you won’t be able to sell it, so if you’re not a crafter you have to rely entirely on rng to hopefully get any ascended gear with the right stats. So everyone who hates crafting is suddenly going to have to craft to get what they want, or hope they are extremely lucky.

Harsh? Asc trinkets are a 3-5% overall boost to your stats. Unless you are hell-bent on always having the best items, you don’t have to get these.

Exotics will still be viable as they always were.

Crafting needed something like this to be worth-while again. No one crafts for any reason other than to level now, it’s pointless otherwise. Now you can make money and help guildies by being a 500 crafter.

With new materials , existing T6 and T5 prices will go down, cheaper legendaries?

In one these interviews, he says that the higher tier mats can be crafted from current mats.

Doesn’t this sound exiting for the original GW players, more skills etc? That was my first thought.

Sooner than you might think, but not nearly as soon as we would like. That’s as much as I can say.

Why can’t you give us that kind of an answer on the skill delay issue? :/

He tried, but got zerged down and lagged out. There’s your answer.

Does that mean ascended food for cooks?

They should add some goggles and name the jump “Baby Steps”

I wish they had a system where you could vote on a players reputation so others could see who to avoid.

This is a neat idea, but is easily abuse-able too. I guess at the very least it means if someone has “high rep” it means it’s likely a safer bet to trust them.

Things like this have been happening forever. I was threatened with being kicked if I did not give a gold to each of the other party members (all in the same guild) as a fee for their services. I left instead. I wish they had a system where you could vote on a players reputation so others could see who to avoid.

In the twitch interview today Colin made the statement that they are possibly considering different realities on different servers.

For example in the coming election if one server were to vote in Evon that server would acquire the Fall of Abaddon fractal. While on another server if they voted in Ellen they would get Thaumanova Reactor fractal.

I personally do not support this. I would rather all servers have the same history and future. Maybe in the future I may change my mind, but I just foresee too many issues like increased server migration as an example.

Your 2 cents?

How about the direct quote?

Q: Changes in Tyria different depends on the server you play on?
A: In the short term no but it is something we may do in the future. There is a lot of pros and cons to that.

I bet if you asked Anet anything they would say “they would consider it” Flattly saying no keeps options closed while saying “considering” leaves it open, but by no means should people be up in arms.

If the fractals are anything like the current ones, I think any story potential would be ignored. Fractals are great for gameplay, but they are terrible at telling stories. I doubt people will be very satisfied with a Reactor fractal given how light the story telling is. At least the Abaddon one will be in Orr before it sank, showing a battle between gods and showing Orr in all its former glory. We can already see the reactor any time we want.

I think I read something on reddit about how they might work more story into dungeons and fractals, so maybe they will have more a story delivery focus in future fractals.

I understand making only one due to time-constraints.

Actually they’re only making one because players keep saying that we want our own decisions to actually impact the game rather than giving us the illusion of impacting the game.
