Guild Wars 2

I play with my friends on Tarnished Coast, a max population server. One of my friend’s g/f just bought the game, and since Tarnished Coast was full when she created her first character, she was forced to play in another server. My friend then left Tarnished Coast to join her. My other friends and I would have no problem leaving to join them, except for the extreme difficulty in being able to join Tarnished Coast again.

We like Tarnished Coast a lot, but there are no real ways to play the game from start to finish with players who just bought the game that are forced into other servers.

You should be able to choose to join an overflow server and play each and every area with your friends.

What do you guys think of this suggestion?

An Unhappy Player from Tarnished Coast

Hey guys – new to Tarnished Coast.

I am looking to join a large guild in Tarnished Coast that does light roleplay, Fractals, Dungeons, and WvW.

Planning to bring my friends with me as well. Please send me a PM, in game mail, or any other form of contact if your guild is interested in recruiting us.

Thanks!

Fractals of the Mist is an interesting dungeon with … issues that have been discussed at length in other threads. However, one core discrepancy I don’t understand is the lack of Knight (pow, +pre, +vit) or Cleric (pow, +tough, +heal) ascended items.

With the more limited customization (baked-in jewel mods) forced into rings/back pieces, and the lacking Cleric & Knight, I feel forced to purchase attributes I dont want if I want to continue to progress in the fractals dungeon. Adding these stats to the ascended items would allow for the same variation present in all other areas of the game.

When reaching the Jellyfish Beast Boss at the end of the Underwater Fractal, floating near the lit cages with retaliation up deals damage to the lights. The lights disappear prematurely, preventing/and or lowering their duration of use against the Jellyfish Beast.

We haven’t scrapped the old dungeons. We tried something new with Fractals, and so far it’s been very successful. I was on the team that built fractals, and now I am on the bug-fixing live team with a focus on our ‘old’ dungeons to fix bugs in there and see what I can do to spice them up a bit.

We’re certainly not going to just sweep the old dungeons under the rug. I will be working very hard on improving the dungeons.

The dungeon itself is a wild success and I thank you for having the ingenuity to designing it.

The leveling system is terrible. I just have a sneaking feeling that in a few weeks or months, all the low lvl fractal runners will have a hard time finding a group.

Also, I have not touched any other PVE content since the patch because I want to keep up with the masses that are progressing their own fractal levels. I havent seen any other part of Tyria other than LA since the patch because of this level system.

There is no point in doing “old” dungeons. I have done the same. As have thousands of other players in my Server, Sanctum of Rall – just visit our Lion’s Arch to see.

Yes, Fractals are quite fun if taken as a separate dungeon-like feature . Including ascended items there only, and REQUIRING ridiculous grind to get them? Horrible!

I don’t know what else to say.

It is frankly shocking that no developer has responded directly to this inequity.

As the topic says.

The new unique dungeon drops added with the current patch will incentivize players to equip MF gear to the detriment of the rest of the party. This will especially affect pick-up groups, which is how most players do a dungeon.

This is a very serious problem.

My solution: Magic find gear should work as a combined boost for The Entire Party in dungeons

Otherwise, with no inspect ability, you will consistently have players with glass cannon builds abuse the pug mechanics, stealthily leech off their fellow players and gain increased rewards only for themselves. This needs to be changed.

What do you guys think?

How is having a cash shop open for you to buy whatever you want ill intention? Fusion stones? Purely cosmetic, you could want them for any gear you have. Boosters? They serve a purpose. Mini’s? Purely cosmetic. Town clothes? Purely cosmetic. Bank/Bag expansions? They serve a purpose.

Then finally exchanging gems -> gold. Just because they didn’t announce new gear til the update does not mean they deceived you into buying gold via gems.

I’ve spent over $100 on the cash shop for keys for the boxes, dye packs, boosters, etc. I even traded some gems for gold. Do I feel I’ve been betrayed? Hell no. I spent the money on things I wanted.

There’s new stuff to spend money on? Awesome, more stuff for me to buy.

People were knowingly let to believe exotic is the final tier. They have stated several times that some people have time and some people have money so they have an option for those people to get their gear from the trading post and they want to provide a safe and secure way of buying gold.

So, let me give you a real life example, if I know a stock is going to tank and I encourage people to buy it I am making a criminal offense. It’s called inside trading.

For the record, I haven’t bought gold to buy gear, I haven’t made a single gem->gold transaction but I know people who did and let me tell you, they are not happy about it.

How would you feel if you finally managed to get the last piece of gear you wanted, spent 100€+ on the cash shop only to find out the next day your purchase was made obsolete because “Oops, we made a mistake, sorry guys, tough luck but thank you for your money and please, come again.”

According to your statements you wouldn’t have a problem with it.

I really don’t see an issue behind it. I’ve spent all my in game cash and money from the cash shop before to get the best item I could get only to have an expansion come out a week later that had better gear. Was I a little irritated I had to save more? Yes. Was I crying about my own stupidity? No.

And I’m sorry; but if you spent £100 on equipment in a virtual game that was not necessary, then that’s your fault. Not theirs

No, you are exactly right. This also means that someone will never spend real money for stuff in the store again.

Has anyone else recieved this blanket message? 3 of my characters, my friend, and my brothers account have all recieved this message.

Can something be done to prevent this errant mail from being sent spam-style?

I play a Norn Ranger with the 3rd largest body type and max height.

When equipping Heritage Armor pieces, I have severe overlap on my characters mask (my nose, chin, and other parts poke through), and less severe on shoulders, collar, and thigh area.

Also, many weapons (specifically small axes) completely clip through the thighs when standing still.

Has anyone else experienced this?
