Guild Wars 2

I would have a difficult time going to an MMO — old or new that:

• Made me pay a sub fee
• Rooted me routinely in combat (this was Tera action combat’s big fail for me)
• Made me compete for objectives, nodes, etc.
• Use quests with the whole go here, do that, come back, now go back to the same spot and … ad infinitum

So, despite GW2’s faults, I like it.

I once had someone ask me for 3 gold so he could buy a certain Superior signet. I said yes, if he could give me 5 gold so I could get a Superior signet of Battle. He said OK. I did not send him money.

When I mentioned him on mapchat though, people groaned, and one person sent me a joke e-mail that I still keep to this day for a chuckle now and then.

Hello friend, my name is [name removed], princess of queensdale. As im sure you have heard my father the king has recently died and left me a great fortune. I wish to share with you his fortune but I need your help in order to access his account at the queensdale bank of queens dale. Please send the amount of 1 gold to me so I know I can trust you with my fathers fortune.

Random, silly, yet amusing.

Pretty much have come to accept that based upon the frequency and intensity of the commentary lately, it’s the rare minority of players that would rather spend the time to raise their play to meet the content rather then have the content lowered to their comfort level. No level of arguement on my part is gonna change this.

Kudos to those silent, and minority of vocal players, that do the opposite and take some pride and enjoyment from attempting the challeges offered (even if they fail) – best of luck to them.

I actually liked Claw Island because there was so many enemies. :/ (like use stun-breaker?)
Any chance getting hardmode-version for story?

Raf.1078:

If you are dying in your storyline, its time to put it away for awhile and go catch a few levels before trying again. That or get some help from freinds or guildies.

Agreed. I haven’t had any problems dying during my personal story. I actually think the difficulty is well balanced. I usually complete the missions by the skin of my teeth. It all feels very epic each time.

I thought that was what the developers were going for. If it was, they nailed it for me.

Experimental Record: “Invulnerable mobs”

Parameters: I used a ranger with a Longbow/Speargun traited for extra distance. This meant I got an effective 1500 range on Longbows and 750 on Spearguns. I used solely melee pets, which would “tie down” the mob if you could path to it.

— Experimental Situation #1 —

Alleged Trigger: Immense vertical distance outside of 600 range.

Setup: World vs World, using perches on cliffsides to attack targets.

Result: If a target did not have a ranged attack which could hit me, it would regenerate health almost as fast as I was dealing it. It was possible to kill them, however it was significantly harder due to the regeneration. Melee pets and summoned “Hounds of Balthazar” would not trigger to fall down and attack, so these efforts were ranged only.

Conclusion: Given this is a known anti-exploitative measure, I do not think this is a bug and is intended to prevent players from farming PvE mobs without risk of harm.

— Experimental Situation #2 —

Alleged Trigger: Uneven ground causing “invulnerable” to pop up.

Setup: World vs World borderlands; specifically I would attack the fishing camps from a higher elevation where the guards could still path to me.

Result: If the guards could not path to me (i.e. somehow getting on top of a hut or having someone pull them close to the “safe ledge” near the Legendary Defenders) they would path back to their home and regenerate health at an increased rate. If they could path to me, they would immediately take even a roundabout route to come bash my face in. On foot near a few uneven patches I would sometimes see “Obstructed” if the target was low enough to the ground.

Extra Note: One Veteran Guard is enough to drop a ranger if they’re too busy testing this matter, should they be able to get up close.

Conclusion: This is working as intended to prevent people from seizing camps or otherwise messing with NPCs with no risk of being harmed.

— Experimental Situation #3 —

Alleged Trigger: Harpies in Uncategorized Fractal

Note: Experiment Pending a Fractals trip where it turns up.

— Experimental Situation #4 —

Alleged Trigger: Veteran Giant Arctic Jellyfish in Frostgorge sound

Setup: Swept the waters around Honor of the Waves between Icebrood Fish schools causing . . . issues. And one death.

Result: Giant Jellyfish would leash back to their home location on reaching me unless the pet was holding agro, and regenerate health at a vastly increased rate. They would still take hits but would regenerate health faster than a speargun could damage them. If engaged within “normal” speargun range, this happened only at the most extreme ranges. At no time did it go “Invulnerable”

Conclusion: Giant Jellyfish have a considerably shorter leash than many creatures around Frostgorge Sound for some reason, but it appears universal. It can only be an intended design to prevent them from being pulled far away from their spawn location.

OP has no idea what he’s talking about. Facts:

1/ GW1 didn’t get a grouping tool until almost two year into the game.

2/ The GW1 grouping tool didn’t even function well for grouping … it was mostly a trading tool or for specific farms

3/ A.net wants to do this right, so either a good tool or none

4/ GW2lfg.com does the job just fine. Are you asking for an in-game spidy, dragon timer, gold farm maps, youtube … too?

The fact is, a game this big will be supported by the community, and that means a.net can
- focus on more important things, since for all intents and purposes the lfg problem is fixed
- work on making a really, really good lfg tool instead of a half baked one like in gw1

I see that as positive things. And while you can rage all you want about the lack of a grouping tool … the simple fact is that this grouping tool exists, it works and there’s no need for you to rage. Without mods, WoW is a broken game, yet I never saw anyone rage about the perceived need to use add-ons…

id like to see…
1 – spell effects filters example – show mine only/show group only/show all
if not filters then a way to adjust the spell effect separately

2- make story rewards scale to you actual level not your adjusted level.

3- the ability to reposition all skills on the hotbar to my liking.

4- allow us to set status to invisible by default.. or invisible to all not onf riedns list or in guild.
thanks

Hello!

Recenlty I had an idea for the Trading Post, for example the possibility to place a “star” in any item and add it to your personal wishlist! So you’ll keep track of the items of your dreams, this will lead to more activity in the trading post, I can hardly remember all the stuff I need!

Why so mean with Logan?

If he hadn’t been away, Kralkatorrik would be dead and they would have then killed Zhaitan and no GW2 and no Trahear… oh wait, I hate you, Logan!

“Ugh we’re dying, Logan do somet-”
