Guild Wars 2

i strongly noticed WvW decreasing, the first time i ever was in there was like WOOOOOW such a huge zerg of us :o omg how cool

now where the heck is everyone

yesterday we had such a hard time to kill a group event boss in lvl 40 area we had to do it 3 times! (couse of the time in which we have to kill the boss) we hardly managed to get 7 ppl together

notebene.3190:

I’m not entirely sure what this thread is about, but I really felt compelled to stop by and comment that your title would make an excellent band name.

Carry on.

rofl true, i like the title too

for everyone who doesnt know it:

AND YES its ENABLED and DONT DO IT! or you will cry like me

I have tons of it, what should i do with it?

I want at least the vendors the option to allow to sell salvage kits and mining stuff for karma again, come on thats so cheap of you to give it for months and and on some shiny day to remove it!

its fine with me it was intended to be sold for gold, but give us the optional possibility ANYWHERE in the WHOLE WORLD to get kits / picks for karma, after some heart quests if you dont like it to give it to us the easy way and have us to run to some god knows hidden area..

GIVE IT BACK rage

5 minutes after the update on Aurora Glade Server, my whole pc starts crashing again

awsome job … again

it was finally SO FINE for a whole while, but yea the time is over again i guess

Ditton.3149:

you should get a cow token worth what you lost..at least I did when I did it

i somehow did get a token in the chat at least it said so, but in my inventory wasnt any token at all -__-

is this bugged?

Crys a river,

;____;

lost 1,5 gold, all my money for this gambling thing at Diessa plateau with the flying cows

nooooooooooo I HATE YOU ANET for putting such a thing into a starting area

1. if youre broke and dead -> no way out (late Time in a low populated Server)

2. later levels -> insance travel costs

3. helping people in lower areas -> noty the costs to get there arent worth it

4. map completion -> you travel to a low-lvl area the hearts give you just a fracture of money you actually needed to get into that area, if youre on high lvl

JumblyJebus.5903:

I love how you believe you are speaking for the whole community.

I’m guessing roughly 1-5% of players even go on the forums which is where you are seeing all the complaining.

People only go onto the forums to complain.

Understand what I am saying?

i speak for me and my friends, which 90% of them left the game and dont even went to forums couse they know it better … it wont change anything at all
and 10% which still log into the game (dont play it really anymore) and have the same opion as me,
as well for my guild of 300 members, who share my thoughts couse i talked actually to someone

you dont know me and just declare that i take everything out from the blue,..

i have more than enough input to speak for a community

they should remove levels at all, they is no reason to have a high level at all, if everything was for everyone the whole game would make more sense

and what you peole describe here is hillarious, gw2 is with downscaling designed to be challengeling even for high levels so you dont get bored and not to wipe a low lvl area by yourself

i wouldnt, some of them play other games and refuse to change and say they are satisfied with the system and the genre,

some already tried and almost ALL of them left for good forever, and i mean it they will NEVER come back

1 of my friends is playing it but share the same opinion as me, its broken and horrible at this point and we both dont really like to play it anymore, what we enjoyed a lot in the first months

sad, so sad for a game which was promised to be revolutionary

There would be simple solution by giving those players who already archieved it some kind of compensation dependant on ingame coins or diamonds…

If you would see it clearly there ARE more negative aspects as if you ever try to convince us otherwise,

if you introduce new content without a beta-run with some player votes, what you did for the WHOLE game before btw, you could simply admit your failure and remove something what NOONE likes

Edit:
got an awsome reply which would be an solution as well

SpyderArachnid.5619:

I think the best thing they can do is reduce the stats of Ascended gear to Exotic level.

Then remove the bonus stats for a gem, and keep the Infusion Slot. This way, people can decide if they want to use Exotics for the Gem Slot buff, or use Ascended gear for the Infusion Slot buff. But either way, they will both have the same stats, just one will have a Gem Slot, while the other will have an Infusion Slot.

I really miss that, i would love to run around in towns and see all the npcs and players closely, you just never get that detailed view on anything in the 3th person perspective, at most if you play norn you cant even see how the asura look like couse everything is so freakn small -_-

pls pls give us first person view !! PLEASE! i will give u cookies for it

log in,
10 minutes on guild upgrades to start and queque
15 minutes to manage guild ranks
3 minutes to play a new created elementarist (lvl3) then simply bored to death,
log off,

awsome heh?

read 1 billion complain posts which was closed, infractured, banned …

then you will know why almost everyone is so negative

im negative couse i hate the new ascended gear, i hate the dungeon which throws you out on dc, i hate the fact they dont take the game stability as the highest priority those random-pc-crashes and the broken proffessions…
im negative couse i waisted 60€ for this game, couse of they FALSE promises and lies:
dynamic events? what is so dynamic about them, they just start repeadetly after some time passes
no grinding? what is about crafting proffessions? what is about ascended gear?

its a known issue which will NEVER be fixed,

they just laugh about our problems:

- like repairing, hey kid you dont need it, foxus on not dieing in the first place,
- dc? hey get a better internet connection, not our problem you cant play it, a lot of others can…

^^’

do it like the most of us who hate the new content, dont even try it in the first place

i acutally like to read the quests, to interact with npcs, enjoy my environment and not being rushed by the blind-lets-hurry-trough party

so i play alone even if i have a huge own guild lol

So there was multiple times the statement that with the Ascended Gear the “huge”-Gap between Exotics and Legendaries will be fixed.
(Which NOONE ever asced for btw)

But maybe its only my missunderstanding,
as far as i can see there were only legendary-weapons, there were NO LEGEDNARY ARMOR!

So now they introduce Ascended ARMOR! (Jewelery for now, but others will follow i guess)

Simply conclusion here, someone with Ascended Armor AND a Legendary is stronger than someone with a full Exotic Set

So how is this supposed to close the gap? It widens it!

just another thing the devs implemented to take out bots / gold sellers,

they simply dont get it that it affects normal players more than the one who want to break this game

i actually stopped playing too, i just login do my guild leader stuff like trying to recruit more people, manage upgrades and ranks and then i log off without playing at all

couse they have serious bugs like pc crashing, dcs
couse they broken my favourite proffessions (thief, mesmer…)
couse the new content is shi….t i dont even try the new dungeon couse i know it will kick me on dc and im sure i will get a dc on anet side

and yesterday i wanted to play just a bit, gone to wvw,.. no zergs anywhere, no people anywhere wtf O.o the game is dead
everyone left at the same time as me o.o boah REALLY now

i would stop to play this game and wait for it to get stabile and fixed

(oh actually i did so)

ascended gear will come for sure, exotics is old soon, i tell you

just who of you can imagine them removing the new gear?

they made the jewelier-crafting useless couse noone will buy exotic jeweliers anymore they all will go for ascended >_>’

yes lol that would be worth it to obtain it, .. make a youtube video of salvaging a legendary or an ascendantD

i will do it when i will EVER find the time to grind and if they ever fix the dc-bug which throw you out of the dungeon >_>’

one time events, simply no, no no and no

they can make some one day events which simply restrict the players to do it only once after SUCESSFULL completion, or better 1 week events which restrict them to 1 time completion

but one time events are just kitten,
different time zones on an international game which claimed it would be for EVERYONE enjoyable and noone would be left behind

lol

it would be nice to have everyone sended a turkey town outfit as compensation of the horrible november event

You people play the game WRONG, yes you do!

Lets say this, all parties i came across are usually some random mix from allways complete different proffessions,

sure you have some hard time to complete dungeons (on lower levels),
or get OPd in WvW,

HERE IS THE SOLUTION FOR ALL YOUR PROBLEMS!

make party-groups ONLY and i mean it ONLY of the same proffession as you are!

Now.. imagine,
WvW a party of 5 Thieves with Critical-Power Build,
you stealth your group, run inside of a zerg pop up AT THE SAME TIME in the middle of your enemie with your Elite Skill: Dagger Storm
… guess what happens

Now.. imagine,
a group of 5 Guardians with they stacking buffs and group healing ability… in dungeons..
(yes would take a bit long) but you would make out of every dungeon with the count of 0 deads for sure

Now.. imagine,
a group of 5 Engineers defending a camp in wvw with the amount of turrets they can create together in a circle of dead,
or fighting a boss while having only imobilize turrets up …
:)

Now.. imagine,
a group of mesmers in pvp (try to find people who look even like you lol)
… boy and now look at the usual mixed parties where the most of the people dont even know what those buffs of other proffessions do and walk right out of them and die ^^’

i have to say i experience the same now too, the norn story is just terrible to compare the character im playing now as char

best thread ive seen so far,

i wonder why noone ever considered to develop an mmo without leveling at all

El Hefe.2814:

Ragman.1690:

But some people care about how the game they play evolves, especially when it deviates from core principles and the initial vision.

how did it deviate from core principles and the initial vision?

- one time events every month which only 10% of players could complete without getting bugged out or didnt even have time for to do

- new armor which require grinding

- crafting which doesnt scale with the level = useless = only for grinders

- no peole accepted for dungeon runs if they dont have the same dungeon-lvl or exotics and without a way to find partys couse chat is blocking you after second attempt

- people dont do any quests in pve, they just 1-kill a mob and wait for someone else to complete it, they will get gold-reward anyway

so what is here:
pvp broken – couse the stats are completly other ones than in pve
wvw broken – unbalanced servers result on hitting ghost walls forever
pve broken – botters and lazy people

shall i continue? what the heck do you even find good in this game, youre so violently attac us which have some valid complains here

i like killing people in this game

i like that i can select something and press F and it works finally on the thing i selected and not on a random thing near me

i like that friends are account bound

i like my glowing halloween bagpack

i like(d) the thief proffession

….

… thats it -__- .. no matter how hard i try i cant find anything more.. and thats why:

i like that i wont have to pay anything for this game anymore couse it doesnt deserve it

if everyone have the same gear, everyone is equal and noone will complain! simple point here, if you cant win without a unfair advantage only those will leave

so yes it should be easy

Fozzik.1742:

You misunderstand. This is a matter of design philosophy and direction. Obviously the gap is not yet large. The problem is that it is now only going to grow. The beginning of the problems can already be seen in the difficulty people have finding groups for dungeons, and the substantial differences in power between tiers of gear in WvW. It will only get larger.

You have to understand. Up until this patch, based on everything ArenaNet said, people were totally happy with exotics being the peak of stats. Everyone could reach that peak without a huge amount of time, in a myriad of different ways, and then they would never have to worry about getting left behind or an ever-widening gap between them and other players. They would never have to worry about watching themselves slowly but surely become less and less powerful compared to other players and compared to the newly released content.

That is all gone now. Sure, a couple days after the patch the difference isn’t that huge. The problem is that if I keep playing the game and just doing the things I find fun, I’m going to watch the gap grow and grow until I can’t get groups at all, can’t be effective in WvW, and can’t enjoy the game. This is the way you boil a frog… you turn the heat up slowly and he won’t jump out of the pot. Each time they make a change like this, there will be people who argue that this single change in direction, all by itself in a vacuum that doesn’t include the obvious consequences, doesn’t amount to a big issue. We’re blowing it out of proportion. We’re over-reacting. Sadly, we don’t exist in a vacuum, and ignoring the future consequences doesn’t make them go away.

Basically, I’m not arguing because the train is off the tracks now. I’m arguing because they just changed direction, and I can see that the bridge is out up ahead. The fact that some don’t see it just makes it even more important that I speak up.

exatly this is the MAIN point here,
we were promised this game would be for everyone! even for the people with a real life! with a job! with a family!

not only for those who can come and play for one-time events on specific time zones,

not only for grinders

not only for those who love dungeons with pugs

awsome idea i have already now some mf armor, with a special trait to get even more he he he … this would be like deviding the gap between: hate thiefes or love them, they kill you before you see them, they get even better loot for it

awsome idea, really man, i want it

the states and skills and just about EVERYTHING works so badly different in pvp then in pve/wvw that i cant keep up with it X_X

this huge gap, where sigils work differently in pvp, where skills hits less harder, where everything is like on a separate game on itself,

i thought pvp was there to be able to learn your character, to get a clue which armor you should obtain, how to play the proffessions,…

but this… is just a giant load of s!
nothing works as intended inside of pvp,
i was ok with it as long it was just a few nerves, but now it goes out of hand it beats actually the main purpose of pvp AT ALL,

you enter pvp and have a complete another character with some strange damge/behaviour which ure not even at the slightest used to or even can learn from it couse it works only there and nowhere else >_>

why the heck did you even give pvp a separate monthly archievement, but wvw is ignored? i play mostly on wvw couse its not transfered into a screwed universum yet and cant get my own monthly for that?

fun … where?

i will come back and play it when its fixed to be fun again,

everyone i know quitted … couse guess what? ITS NOT FUN!

we give our feedback so they can blame themselves for ruining the game
or simply improve it, so we might come back and play it

R.I.P pistol whip ;__;

Earlier this was the only proffession i avoided on sight now LOOOL

so fun and easy i have some good time now:

blind them and attac, they cant use then ANY spells while they are blinded or create any illusions or phantasms to attac me,

we have some nice weopon skills, trait lines and stuff to keep them almost perma blinded

1vs1 you dont even need to move man, just stand there in your blinding field p/p
and take them out,
if they try to run away they screwed anyway

lol people do not try to run away from thiefes XDDD

i had a toon a norn thief which kicked kitten now she got nerfed so bad i roll an ELEMENTARIST now

true story

instead of pure QQ Constructive Replies here only pls,
just put a comment with YOUR things which you dont like about this game
we ALL hate it couse we love this game and care for it and put up hopes to be able to stick with it and now its worse than on the beginning, so here is my list =

- Proffession nervs:
Thiefes on damage in every corner, i agree they should directly reduce burst damage, but what about the dancing dagger for this much initiative is just too much for me to understand,
Mesmers on they Illusions (I dont even play a mesmer but i think this is just wrong),
ALL PROFFESSIONS ON AOE max numbers, seriosly? i really enjoyed in wvw this crazy tactics like porting zergs, or stealth zergs and wait for a pray to show up to get a surprise attac, now those unique mechanics are gone now
You should make proffessions stronger which are in weaker state now, rather then nerfing the good ones!

- changing whole game in the middle:
i just dont like the fact a stabile system is destroyed, at the very beginning everyone of us made some huge effort and research to descide on they final gear, now with ascended everyone will go up for those better stats and you need to keep up again,
you can never be sure if they will change it in some time in some crazy way noone expects
this is so fkt up, really the anet developers must be some bunch of noobs which cant get they game ready in over 5 years to a point of not chaning EVERYTHING drasticly on every week, there is no stability, nothing to rely on

- i dont like they develop new things which are broken, instead of fixing existing things which are broken too:

- fix the kitten whole-pc-crash

- fix the the sound-bang which accures on the highest sound settings when you run into a zerg, whole sound just crashes

- fix the whisper bug, when you push whisper nothing happens at all
fix the guild-actualisation-list-delay when everything need 10 minutes to show up from the history

- fix the dungeon-kicking whole partys when some players leave

- fix the dungeon reward chest dissapeareance when you get dc right before the boss dies

- fix the preview option in black lions chest (to actually be able to show the gear)

- fix the sort option in black lion chest to separate middle-heavy-light armor

- The whole Guild System is broken:
We need last represented time for each member
We need influence count for each member how much each one of them brought to the guild
We need a shedule, some kind of calender to organize stuff
We need a mass-guild-mail option
We need a show up the message of the day to EVERYONE in guild on login, even if they dont represent!

- why are there 3 maps which are EXACTLY the same in wvw? BORING AS HELL to complete those maps

- we cant reordner our skills on the bar, just make a drag and drop it cant be that hard to implement this!

- leave some slots for potions and food for short keys!

- change commander claiming by wvw archievements

- change EVERY archievement to be able to use as title! what about this random titles, which some of them are really worthless, let the players themself choose which title they want to wear! it would be fun to see what people are proud of

so this are the points which bothering me personally,

PLEASE CONTINUE

happened to me 3 times!!!

network disconnect right before this kitten ended!!

i want a compensation for this!

we kill them like 1 hour and it stopped progressing since the donation of items stopped O.o???

I dont mean to change the existing t/s-pvp but to add an extra special pvp “tournament” edition to be able to fight only there in slow motion

you know .. like in the movies ^^

and yes im serious, it would provide me the time to react properly to use the skills more effectively and make it a real fight, instead of smashing blindley every skill you got into the room, without actually be able to see what they cast or going to do next :P

you know the moment you enter combat mode, everything sloooooooows down g

I tried like every build and armor combination possible,

just end up dying like a fly and they cry in every corner thief OP here thief OP there, thief OP everywhere,…

i just CANT play tpvp X_X i tried it over 30 times, and the team i was in, won like only 3 times at all O_o

help me, i dont know, this game is just kitty-cat hard for me,

in tpvp everything goes like in a blink of a second, everyone play burst damage and i have no fkn clue what im doing or what is actually happening and its not lacking of practice.. in wvw im more than pro, i can use the environement there, the huge space, to dodge, hide.. everything ya know…

but here 1/4 strategy,
rush to tower and everyone smashes the hell out of the circle, 3 seconds a fight, dead, dead, DEAD, DEAD. DEAD!!!!!

X_X

dont know if its only my fault but my team loose like ALLWAYS, its frustrating i dont know what to do.

maybe its just me, but i find its impossible for human reaction to keep up, i dont know how everyone else do this, there are like a ton AOEs in a small space, everyone spamming something around you,

to defend something bymyself, tried traps, tried condition damage build, tried critical backstab build, just end up dead in less then 3 seconds -_-

its like a complete another world, why the heck am i loosing against EVERYTHING when in wvw i dont have any problems at all -_-

yea right the theory is easy: steal -> stealth -> activate sigils -> backstab -> haste -> switch to pistol whip DONE

it just never work out ^^’,

- its hard to get in melee range
- its hard to get out of stun / chill
- hard to get behind your enemy while 2 others are bashing a huge aoe area around and everything just fkn explodes around you
- and the worst is the timing

i dont know what the problem is and i just can say i dont feel anything OP as thief at all -__-

I cant find ANYTHING!

the results are limited, they dont show everything which match with the keywords, there are too few or too many threads

make at least a history, so im searching for a video i watched in a thread yesterday and it was soo funny i wanted to find it today, NO CHANCE! make at least an option which will show only threads with videos or external links.

let us search for keywords only in titels and diference it from normal threads,

let us make a difference about showing us only OP post or anwsers from others.

Seriously i CANT FIND ANYTHING AT ALL HERE!

So yesterday i tried PvP the normal one and the free tournaments,

i play a thief and not couse its OP, i just started with this proffession from the very beginning and stick with it couse i love it.

In normal WvW i play a Condition-Stealth Build, but i figured it out very soon in pvp … not the best choise, its just kind of a nother playstile:

Burst-Damage is asked for and nothing else, its just a matter who get the first hit.
I kinda started to detest backstab-thieves ^^’ Lord help me i hate my own kind XD

So pvp allows us to rearrange our build and everything completly free anytime, its ok couse its really needed, close range fights with not a lot room or space, when they expect you coming, burst damage builds only.

But now i start feeling insecure, is my wvw-build entirely wrong? Maybe i would benefit in wvw from Backstab as well more then from Venom-Build.
-_-
Is Backstab the only thing to go with thief?

And what the heck is pvp even there for? We dont get any loot, our armor isnt damaged and it seems like a huge waist of time for me O.o, why do you guys play it?

Do they work together, or does only one of them work at the same time with 2 weapons?

the most fun thing is, ive gone directly to the tavern and there were centuars INSIDE killing those npc-people which lay down on the floor, yea go there we will protect you
i lolled so hard on this i made even a screenshot

the personal story is a JOKE in gw2
those devs suck so bad ^^’ they should fire them, really

i didnt get it at all, i walked in there with 2 players, we got him like in 5 seconds … oeh, i kinda wish ive done this alone now

ha ha lets kill him

you take his legs and i use my thief-dagger, wooo green wood slashing!!!

interesting, im allways for wvw improvements couse now wvw is unbalanced as hell

everything we need indeed ++

i want a LAST REPRESENTED time!
dont care about if they play or not, i want to know if they even ever represnt my guild
