Guild Wars 2

Katana wold make for a fast use weapon with many fast combo attacks but not as strong as a regular sword imo.

Also this would go more along the lines of a Cantha type expansion.

I hope this makes sense.

sPVP is fun but all it is is a few maps where you capture points….

I know Anet is aiming for eSports but why did they not add more game modes.

Like free for all death match (crazy but may be fun lol), capture the flag, 2v2 (for a real team duo feel), using pickup weapons only mode (like asura guns, vines, tree trunks etc like items that lay around in PVE), PVP zones with environmental hazards like slippery ice where we all slide around lol etc etc and feel free to add other modes here.

Finally I hope they are working on it but a massive (and fun) part of GW1 PVP was GVG (Guild V Guild) in a structured zone.

I say structured because people are gonna say we have WvWvW for Guilds but imo and many other peoples opinions Zerg V Zerg…oh I mean World v World is fun but for an actual competitive feel (without the whole we have more people then you zerging your keep) I would like to see GvG added like it was in Guild Wars 1.

Also a spectator mode would be nice to watch matches like they did in GW1.

As the title said.

I don’t see why we cant do this?

Dare I say…Kinda like WoW does it ….(please don’t flame me)with honor gear and so on….I don’t remember much as its been a LONG time since playing WoW but if you bought honor/valor whatever it was called gear you had a time limit as to when you could return it if you decided it was not for you. I dont think you were allowed to equip it in order to refund it but regardless that could also work for people who may accidentally click the wrong gear.

Skill CHallenge Bugged.

Straits of Devastation – Veteran Risen Spectral Guard

Just sits there cant click on it or start the skill challenge.
It stays green and dont aggro

Server – Sanctum of Rall

Skill point fight Miner Voss in Frostgorge Sound has been bugged forever to…and still no fix

These non working challenges and so on are killing map completion

Server – Sanctum of Rall

Before ppl get their pitchforks and torches out when I say this…its just an idea…

Id like to see something like larger groups for dungeons…I know that’s getting into “raid” territory but Im thinking of Guilds…I find it fun to be able to go as a guild with more then 5 ppl and tackle a dungeon. I know we got world events to but being able to go anytime as a guild instead of waiting for a world boss to pop up is fun to.

Just an idea thats all..

Thats about it

Anet has said that this game is playable if you solo… I feel they forgot that part in the Orr zones. The respawn rate is stupid fast (not counting so many mobs hanging together) and many of the enemies run like they have been on a straight caffeine diet.

I enjoy the difficulty but there is a point where it becomes a painful grind.

Contested waypoints make sense but allow us to actually “uncontest” them and they remain uncontested for a while instead of almost instantly becoming contested again.

Still though biggest thing is respawn…. I will go through the fun and effort of killing 2 veterans under water and some mobs to get that skill point…as Im communing they will spawn back right on top of me and hit me thus causing a loss of the communing for that skill point and usually since so many respawn I get gang banged and have to waypoint for 3 silver back to the other end of the map.

This zone is also a gold sink..then again once you hit level 80 every zone becomes a gold sink

Title sais it all.

Every city has hundreds of chairs, tables, banquet areas etc etc. Event the leaders don’t sit like queen Jenna, she has a nice throne and stands there all day. Same with the big dude in the Norn city.

I really feel Anet got lazy on this one and while creating a beautiful game just said to hell with it on the immersion and making NPCs actually use those hundreds of chairs and tables sitting all over the place. They just stand around or sit on the floor.

This may sound like a silly topic but next time just run around and you will see what I mean.

Id like to see a 64 bit client as well

GW1 PVP and PVE was completely seperate to. In GW1 you had the choice of creating a PVP only character and going straight to the PVP zone and that character staying there never allowed to go to PVE.

sPVP in GW2 is meant to be level 80 with all traits, skills and weapons unlocked (since its based on skill anyways) so if people want they can make a new character do the opining quest and go straight to sPVP and play. This give people who want to only sPVP or have a seperate PVP character do this without the level grind.

I dont see them ever adding exp gain to sPVP. Go to WvWvW for that.

Still though regardless of Lore…I feel there should be GvG in this game just like GW1 had.

That way people can develop Guild Pride and compete in tournaments and so on.

GW1 was excellent on PVP but sadly in GW2 PVP seems to have taken a backseat for PVE… dont get me wrong PVP is fun in this game but they need more PVP modes besides point capture and Zerg V Zer…oh I mean World V World

Tyqer.6413:

ArenaNet will be fixing Orr for sure. Just the fact that even I was barely motivated to even run through them at all means there is something wrong. This game is still a work in progress, and that’s a very good thing.

Updates; very fun, very good, very innovative Updates are coming, I assure you. I don’t want to naively put ArenaNet under pressure by me assuming they are going to be fixing Orr, or doing any major changes, but trust me when I say that like Guild Wars 1, this game will improve with time, like any well-developed game.

I love this game to and Ive waited years for it…but sadly after a few hours in Orr I have really got that feeling of just wanting to quit thats how bad it is in my eyes and I never thought Id have that issue with GW2 as I have had SO MUCH fun 100%ing every other zone with only Orr left….now I dont really want to grind through it till its fixed.

Its terrible atm…

I hope Anet hears this and does something

This was said to have been fixed in an update but miner Voss is still not there…he is stuck in the floor I think..

This is keeping me from 100%ing this map

Map Zone – Frostgorge Sound

Server – Sanctum of Rall

Many bugged dynamic events.

Respawn rate is stupid fast (thats a problem with the entire game)

Enemies are crammed to gether so you agro one mob and 2 more mobs come join…

Lower map travel cost and repair bills since almost every waypoint is contested.

Many missing textures that dissapear depending on camera angles.

Balance it for solo players as well (since you claim this game can be played solo)

This zone is not fun at all…Ive had fun up until now.

ah thanks Ill link this post in that post

I didnt know this post existed but here ar my thoughts with a link to my post about Orr….

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/ORR-Zones-are-a-painful-no-fun-grind-not-solo-friendly-either/first#post123018

What is up with these zones?

I know they are supposed to be a challenge but its almost to hard trying to get through here on solo.

Mobs have a stupid fast respawn rate (well thats an issue with the entire game) and there are a ton of them all over… almost every way point is constantly contested.

Why are there no heart type quest? Kinda dull in my opinion tryna sneak around for dear life and get points of interest, waypoints and if lucky get a skill challenge if you dont get over run with fast re-spawning vetern mobs.

Im not complaining (well a little) but Ive had a heap of fun 100%ing every zone up until the Orr zones…now it feels like an incredibly painful (and expensive with constant dying and repairs) and grindy zone.

Im decently geared to btw…it just needs some balance or something changed for these zones… the fun factor Ive been having up until these zones has well….dropped to almost nothing and replaced with a major painful grind.

Also I know people say well play in a group…well I cant always do that (same with many other people with this same problem) My guild tend so do their own thing and are leveling new characters (Ive taken my time to 100% everything so Im still on my first) and these zones seem dead especially straits of devastation.

Anyone else experience this? The enjoyment disappearing once they get to these zones?

I saw a thread on making Skritt playable but imo they are better left as fun and pretty dumb NPC’s…

On the other hand I would think Kodan would be absolutely awesome to play with.

They have such an awesome feel to them I love doing the quest involving them and just listening to them talk…weird I know but their voice acting suits them.

Just my opinon/suggestion

No Skritt…They make for fun and dumb NPC’s but not as playable…

Now on the other hand Kodan would be absolutely boss to play with as a new race.

Most MMO’s like WoW, GW1, Aion etc etc dont even do this (except for maybe a DPS meter addon)

That would be to many freaking numbers flying around the screen >.>

Worry about your self and not what others do…that starts dipping into Leetist territory.

Location – Bore Lynch area in Frostgorge Sound Map

Miner Voss does not appear for the skill challenge….then I realized he is stuck in the floor.

Please fix hinders progression and map completion

Yeh iw as looking at my map last night and thought there were alot of mountain squares for each zone.

Lazy design in my opinion.

They could have left a zone open and maybe had a little border like what capture points have showing you the next zone and you would port there if you crossed over.

Id prefer a LFG tool…that way we dont have people on maps with the instance location spamming map chat looking for a group….

GW2 has taken a lot of GW1 stuff and dumbed it down to be simple….I really hope they add more.

Illushia.3721:

moonslightv.6704:

Are you the lore police or something Illushia?

No. I just don’t like things that don’t make sense.

Your discussing Lore in a game…Much isnt gonna make sense…..

Quaggan used to annoy me in the Beta but they have grown on me. I like to watch them swim around now, poor guys kicked out of the ocean by the dragon and those cranky Krait.

yes….because it will also help beak the cookie cutter molds that are already developing by allowing people to have better customization with their characters attacks and weapon choices.

Yeh waypoints are a major gold sink at lvl 80. Even when I die in a zone I have to pay almost 2 silver to get to a waypoint that is literally only a few yards away.

It cost to much and needs to change.

to much WTS/WTB spam on every map…thats why we have an auction house that EVERY game server can see…use that your stuff will sell quicker…stop spamming chat

WvWvW can be a busy and exciting place. Sometimes your so busy defending, attacking or running for dear life that you never remember to get those loot bags that drop, even if they do drop at your feet there is a good chance your on the move and not standing still….or there is so much going on you dont see the bags .

They need to at least add a feature for WvWvW where you will automatically have loot and badges added to your inventory without having to run all over the eternal BGs looking for bags you forgot.

Yes agreed with this post. Id like to have templates to allow easy switching depending on which game mode I am playing.

Not going into all the technical aspects but I do understand the differences and the advantageous as far as multitasking and stability is concerned.

I don’t understand why they didn’t include a 64 bit client standard with the game since this is a New Generation game. I guess its the same excuse category as why there isn’t DX11 support yet either.

WoW and Aion introduced a 64 bit client a while back and there are noticeable performance differences. These are old games and they made the jump already.

Also most (not all) users now days will have a 64 bit capable system.

Please add it thanks

No one cares or hardly uses DX10…they just need to focus on DX11

DX10 was that in betweener product that no one really used and DX11 was announced shortly after so most jumped to designing for that.

Pretty simple.

Add more skills per weapon and allow us to select what we want for that weapon kind of like we already do with skills 6 – 10

Everyone (well most) knows about Cantha and Elona…but the world itself is so large!

I’m hoping Lore wise they will include other parts of the world in expansions and maybe even get to the point that after a few years the entire game world will be opened up. Imagine the new lore, new races and creatures that must be out there and thing even worse then the elder dragons.

Another thing is especially in Eye of the North for GW1 we got to explore under Tyria…Imagine the new Lore and gaming opportunities if we could explore the world but on an underground plane. Or even going to other places like the underworld, Fissure of Woe or other realms…

They have so much to work with in this game…I hope they do it right.

Look at the picture..the colored portions are Elona, Cantha and Tyria (current GW2 map) look at the rest of that large world….drool

yeh this is a major issue and there are a few big threads on it.

just to let you know

its driving me nuts to

Ive been making reports on this issue since the Betas via multiple forum post and in game reports.

I have an avg FPS of 50 – 60

Many many times it can be busy or just me but many sound effects dissapear. Like blowing a warhorn makes no sound but you can hear the deep breath he takes to blow it.

Or weapon swings and footsteps disappear.

Swimming noises randomly disappear.

Monster sounds disappear

Last night i really got mad as I had a cool cut scene in the personal story and there was no sound…>.>

and many more etc etc’s.

Sound card has no issues with anything else. Soundblaster Recon 3d PCIe fatality version

Ive tried all sound settings in game as well and no difference is made.

Dwarves arent dead either…they gave up their flesh and blood to become stone in GW1…they are more down in the depth of the planet now.

this idea would be nice. This way guilds can better plan events for their members.

I know we can do explorable mode dungeons, craft legendary or do PVP but is that all to do after we finish our personal story and hit lvl 80?

This is one of the biggest points raised in most GW2 reviews, it concerns me… THe reviews are good but the reviewers are asking these questions as well, what is going to keep people playing until more content hits? Or is this game going to turn into another WoW where many people leave then return for an expansion and repeat….

Im just asking questions as I am curious and a huge fan of GW2.

Also there are many areas of the map that are not accessible or are locked out…Im hoping these are added soon.B

A lot of the events are bugged int his zone.

The war hounds quest is bugged as the dogs bark at stuff but nothing appears or isnt click able.

Fighting Bria is bugged.

The displaced ghost quest is bugged as all but one ghost is click-able and the rest are up in the trees.

There is a lot of lag in this zone.

There are also many other pop up events where nothing appears.

So far this is the worse zone Ive been in so far as far as bugs are concerned.

There are many other bugged events but I cant name them all off at this moment as I don’t remember all the names but I have submitted in game reports as well.

EDIT – There are also a lot of disappearing textures especially under water.

Server – Sanctum of Rall

mnguyen.5142:

GW2 doesn’t have profession-specific gear – it’s only Heavy, Medium, and Light

Lol wow I didnt even realize that…disregard this sorry

It drives me nuts when navigating a small tunnel and I cant see anything because the camera is constantly bouncing.

Camera also always bounces in and out in many areas especially jumping puzzles when trying to get the best view.

A first person view would be nice.

It would be nice to have the trading post filter gear and weapons by profession instead of having to go through tons of pages of gear I cant use to find something that my profession needs.

Thank you hope that made sense.

This is my only character and I cant log on

Fields of Ruin

Server – Sanctum of Rall

I am stuck on the loading screen for Fields of Ruin.

This happened just a few minutes ago after I downloaded the new build.

Please fix…. this is my only character.

Server – Sanctum of Rall

I had this issue yesterday when fighting the Shatterer.

Was standing there hitting it, and sound bug hit and froze the game.

Many times throughout the game I will notice sounds will not play.

For example warrior when blowing a war horn, cant hear the horn.
Weapon swings and effects sometimes don’t play.
Foot steps disappear.

There is also a terrible computer type noise that plays when I was fighting the shatterer, it ended up freezing the whole game.

This isn’t a constant thing but it does happen a lot.

I have noticed this since the beta weekends.

Soundblaster Recon 3d PCIe Fatality – works fine on many other things.

There are numerous areas inside the mountain where you can just be running not getting attacked by anything or touching any lava and you get 1 shot by something and just die.

This happens in many different parts of the cavern.

Location – Sparkfly Fen

Defeat ancient sharks skill challenge. Defeat ancient shark Pistrix.

The sharks just swim around in circles and stay green.

They don’t turn red so you cant attack them to get the skill point.
