Guild Wars 2

Try installing the MS Visual C++ redist packages, DotNET crap etc, all windows updates and whatever you can get.

It’s new, and it’s Microsoft.
Do you people ever learn?

Oh really, it’s not even your own computer and the game needs to be adjusted to useless, utterly crappy software no sane being should use in 2012 because you can’t either disable or properly configure it? I guess those are massive first world problems.
How about you go ask the owner, or did you steal the computer? O__o

As the zones never really get “outleveled” (except for the starting zones maybe, for a portion of players), it will never be empty. Relative to the player base, ofc.

Real boss encounters.
Not just spam & dodge.
Can’t agree with most points though, that’s what you get in other games, I’m fine finally having something different.

Sort them out later and clear out the folder.
If you manage to take so many shots, you’re doing something wrong. If you don’t have the time to manage them later, your problem.
This game got greater issues.

I don’t see why outgearing bosses would be any more challenging, plus MMOs rarely have difficult bosses, just the chance that one tardo in an increased amount of players will always ruin an attempt to a certain extend.

However, dungeons in GW2 are quite bland. Why not make minigames, puzzles, jumping challenged and bosses that require you to adapt to their mechanisms, after all you can change your skills if you die so why not? As is, the dungeons are a flat crawl through pumped trash mobs and bosses that have one or two abilities that you might need to counter by rolling or teleporting or w/e.

Problem is rather, all you do is survive which usually means using AoE slows and dodge, and tear down silly amounts of health.
Encounter design as far as I’ve seen was bland, with every encounter having ONE thing to care about which mostly threatened to kill instantly so it was about avoiding this one thing.

+1
Can’t do any proper tournament like this. Last ANet game for me.

Might also be the game’s utterly poor programming…

It worked, though jumping AND filling the holes is really crappy.

Will try, sometime.
When I’m home before the great lag starts.______________.

Thanks.

At least you can go down there.
I get teleported back on deck if I go downstairs or jump off the ship.

Not wanting players to grind does not mean it is impossible.
You might as well complain about being able to kill more than 5 mobs a day, which is so grindy.
You may play 5 characters to 80, see different, although not entirely, storylines, and gather enough resources to have 2 of them well-geared up.
Plus there’s plenty of items in sPVP, you don’t want to call that grind, do you?

I couldn’t agree any more with this post and it’s cited joystiq article.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2012/08/29/guild-wars-2-a-grind-by-any-other-name/

“Oh but crafting sucks if you dont like crafting so I ignore this way of leveling cause I don’t like it even if it’s a central part of almost any MMO but it is your fault that I don’t do it”.
Seriously, I can go around and say leveling is too slow because I dislike anything that does not involve beating up players so I do WvW from 1 to 80. This “article” is trash. Nothing more than the xbawz-“plz reward me for playing cause I dislike what games are”-nofunallowed-generation rant. Those are what WoW is for – keeping them out of games that allow players to enjoy playing.

Same crepe, different day.
You do that for every game you buy? Or do you just never buy games so you think now you have the right to complain that 4 weeks of entertainment isnt worth the money?

I guess this is a know issue.
Unfortunately, the support provided is extremely unprofessional that they resort to ask for account credentials.
“Remember: support staff will never ask for your credentials”

30 minutes of farming is nowadays called grind?
So leveling was, because you had to move (=grind WASD)? Silly thread.

So doing the things you did while leveling is no longer fun?
Or maybe wasn’t at all? Grats, you’re in the wrong game then. Playing games a way you cannot enjoy → WoW, LoL. That way.

As you disabled the filter, you yourself agreed to be able to read those words. I still don’t get why any kind of judgment needs to be done in such cases as there is a function to ignore people as well, it even works for the full account so you’ll never hear from that one again.
Crying for support cause someone called you something most possibly for a reason is so immature, you’re not better than the one calling you out.

Windows can’t handle proper battery charging, Optimus, away mode etc so I’m glad I don’t need it anymore. Well, I rarely play on my laptop anyway…

People seem to see themselves forced to get some kind of items, still not having gotten rid of this gear-grind-carrot thinking. Those will ALWAYS complain someone said “no grind necessary” because they didn’t get their ub3r g3arz right away.
The same kind then complains about having nothing to do on 80…

frOst.2198:

im not blinded by fanboyism OP. their dungeon set up is horrid. no other word to describe. Seems like no thought went into it at all.

You mean you cant make it through?

I could never play MMO, where:
1) Meeting another player in the same area is a nuisance to me, rather than a welcome sight
2) You have to pay monthly fee

These two I can agree on.
Monthly fees especially. I simply can’t see myself paying monthly again. That concept might have worked in the past when I played UO and with WoW in 2005, but not anymore.

10.2 million active subscribers on WoW and more when Mists of Pandaria comes out in 2 weeks, seems to completely disagree with you.

Just becuase you are either cheap or poor, doesnt mean everyone else is.

You get what you pay for in life, and GW2 being free certainly shows. When you are level 80 and there is nothing to do in PvE, and the broken SPVP system putting friends on other teams then other friends due to auto balancing, and WvW queue times being outrageous..

Yeah.. I will take the sub fee gladly. I pay for quality, and I get that with WoW, and others get that from other games. So dont act as if this Fail Wars 2 is some kind of revolution, when it really isnt.

Wah, wah, cry, cry, we heard that. No one really cares.
Plus 10M subs is fake. 4M subs is real, the rest are asians that played in the past 12 months.

Gear in GW2 is almost exactly like other MMOs. Better stats = better performance.
The main difference is that you have more freedom to choose what stats you want to stack.

Gear progression exists in GW2. There is a carrot on a stick when it comes to gear.

Difference with GW2 compared to other games is once you get to 80 and get exotic gear. Once you get that it just depends what kind of stats you want and everything else is just visual and not really more “powerful”. So carrot is mainly just to look cool rather then to make content easier.

Until they release new gear with better stats and visuals…

Where’d ya get that magic bubble, babby?

Do you do that in every forum for every game you play?
If youre too slow for this game, I think turn-based is your choice. But that’s not the problem of the game. There was plenty of information available. Learn to read.

Aih.6892:

But as paying customer, i have the right to give my feedback as much as the ones who like this game, for i have payed the same price.

Not any right, actually. No one is obligated to let you say anything here. Go write a blog and see if you find someone willing to read it. I won’t.

Basen.8506:

I think we all agree that mounts are essential, since the waypoints do not feel anywhere near natural. Giving money to a floating rock…

So a large cat riding some wild animal feels natural, yes?
A great engineer riding a wild animal instead of building a vehicle?

They’re targeting the super casual players. Did you expect to find something here that requires actual dedication, and preparation?

That’s why there’s no sub.

So that is why 99% of all WoW players cant even walk out of the red, yes?

Why so insecure? I never mentioned WoW. Never played WoW passed BC.

Just stating a fact.

The existence of a sub does not mean anything towards the target audience.

We had that, it’s gonna make GW2 a solo game as no one dismounts to help others.

/thread

ITT: PUGs play just as faceroll as they did in WoW, but it doesn’t work here. Conclusion: WoW has to be better.

You should read what you wrote, really.

Haven’t seen any challenging MMO actually.
It’s either easy mode, or grind more. Is “get more epix” really a challenge?

Was bored before, so why bother?

Sorrow.7452:

To those who think Flamethrower is weak, this is a guaranteed 13 stacks of might, and 10% more damage on a single target build, but this works best with a group to PvP with.

Superior Rune of Hoelbrak x2

Since might effect both condition damage and power, the choice of weapon is your preference.

Wait a sec. not taking 30 alchemy for the 15%? You get constant stacks of might anyway due to Juggernaut which has been reworked since this skill calc…

Make a training are, put dummies in there that give you an exact breakdown and you may optimize. No one gets hurt.

Doctor Ivo Robotnik.3879:

Dear God, I hope not.

We don’t need inflated egos.

Yeah we like narrow-minded people who only see a single use for DPS meters

What use would a DPS meter have, in a game without dedicated roles?

Noisex.7051:

Sorry if made already.
But this game needs Arena PVP. 2v2, and 5v5 pvp with ranked and gear just like WOW. Yes like wow. Why? Because its the most intense pvp that really test your skill when you get a good match. PVP so far just isn’t rewarding imo and seems tacked on.

GIVE US ARENAS.

Oh yeah, spam heals for 30 minutes until someone slips or the game ends in a tie.

No, this game has REAL PvP, no need for kitten babbygameplay just so you can compensate. Grow a pair.

Keep vistas, they are great feature. If you dont want to do them, just live with not having 100% completion. What about people who dont like hearts? or PoIs?….

Quests are a normal part of MMOs, so the Hearts are fine, and the points of interest only require you to walk to a certain part of the map, so I doubt anyone cares about that

Most vistas don’t even require anything but hitting space 2 or 3 times. Can’t do that? Your problem. Like anyone really needs 100%.

Dmorin.9543:

yep agree vistas should be optional not required

I think tasks shouldnt be, and actually, who needs PoI or waypoints?
Just walking from one end to the other for some greens should do it, huh?

Endodon.6890:

Repair in WvW probably doesn’t make sense. In PvE, it really only happens to me when I’m playing outside my current level. No one to blame but me.

Why? Stand inside a base and do nothing → win event
Walk aside a caravan and shoot some animals → win event

Thats money galore, isn’t it?

Strikerpogz.3412:

Syahin.3921:

So playing the game the way it is supposed to be played without being casual = rushing? What am i supposed to do exactly? I have been waiting for this game for 3 years and i reached the max level in 3 days because i wanted to keep playing since i enjoyed the game. I didn’t get to 80 as soon as i could , i did every zone i went through 100% , i did sPvP and WvWvW in between , Crafting etc… What am i supposed to do exactly? I don’t video games to go on some sort of digital vacation trip , if i want to just walk around and look at environments i would go outside.

Content at max level is severely lacking and there is no casual spouting you can do to prove me otherwise.

We have exactly the same feel in this game. I feel like the endgame content is really lacking. I want to grind those dungeon gears, but I just don’t see the point of it because you can’t even examine other player’s gear. I lvled though WvW halfway through the game also, I did sPvp, and I’m pretty much almost done with the PvE map. I would love to probably do more WvW if there are an actual rankings of servers and rewards for being the “top server” in WvW, but no they don’t have that. I wish they enables duels, add GvGs, and open PK maps so that at least your hardwork of grinding your gear in PvE area actually pays off.

If the game itself is no fun for you, better spend that time at work and get some guido car to show off with.

Lethality.1634:

It seems it would have to – they already stated the level will rise, and due to that player stats will rise (as set up by the current 1-80 system.)

So it stands to reason gear will then become obsolete.

And thereby destroy any reason to play GW2 instead of any other carrotkitten game?

ITT: how to ruin my gameplay experience for the sake of “efficiency”.

Rolo.9248:

Besides, I got the impression karma items were never meant to be a part of the economy.

This.
You get karma for events, and spend it on items.
Not exchange it for extra gold.

You even got more return value then you spent on keys, plus it’s common sense there’s nothing superior in there. If you expected some “ub3r gearz”, well – there’s the door.

Try huntsman.
Go back to tailor and be satisfied.
Crafting requires you to actively gather whatever you can, not just run around and what you may or may not find will suffice.
Prob. better to do that on a second character while the first one has gathered enough.

SweFox.6391:

I guess even the easiest game requires guide for some people.

At least most of them are gone to Mists of Pokemon soon enough.

Sulmith Greysin.5124:

endless content will never, ever, ever happen. it’s impossible. you want quantity over quality over quantity, but quantity in any form will never pay a studio’s bills

There are games which are 20 years old which are still great. And it is irrelevant how long it takes you to level since 80. With level 80 at the current state of the game, you can just farm / do repetitive taks (this includes pvp).

Like watching TV.
Eating.
Playing ANY game. Because you do nothing but hit buttons. Repetitive.
