I like the idea! I don’t like the dungeons or fractals but maybe, one day, they’ll have an interesting place like FOW or DOA was from GW1. On that day I’ll want to go exploring and I don’t want to have to wait on, or wade through other players to do it.

I prefer doing things myself (roaming in WvW, etc.) but most instanced things can’t be done that way.

After extensive research i can now say with certainty, that neither FA nor DB have a single not horrendously bad player between them. I am truly dissapointed in the effort these servers have put forward to not be this horrendously bad. That is all.

FA has a few good players amongst their hordes. Most are just bags on feet. Must be a side effect of being a bandwagon destination.

DB has a many more good players among them.

The only ascended weapon I have is from a Teq drop. I won’t grind for materials or waste money (in game or otherwise) for such a minor increase in offense/defense.

No precursor crafting-.-
Didn´t Anet announce precursor crafting this year ? :´(

They said something along the lines that they would try. They also said depending on how things go, it would be one of the things they’d push back.

I’d wait for just about forever to get a precursor crafting enhancement if they’d write that kitten twig out of the game.

I was talking last night with Boo Boo Boo Boo of whatever the name was. hahaha He told me that Star Playa was his 7 year old cousin. He said, “I showed him how to put up siege now that’s all he wants to do”. But for some odd reason, when I kept inviting Star Playa to join me, he kept declining then put his player in the offline mode. And another thing, it was late and a 7 yr/old should have been in bed already.

Boo Boo has been a friend of mine for a lot of years, I’ll ask him about it.

Sitting in a mob waiting for Teq I saw a pet name that was clearly reportable (it would get replaced by ‘kitten’ if I tried to include it on the forum). But I had no obvious way to report it. The owner was in the mob someplace so I couldn’t pick her out.

Is there a way to do that kind of report now? If not, please put one in.

A solution could be to have a system that suppresses whispers if they contain certain words and let the users setup whatever words they want included. Or explicitly suppress whispers that contain the website name that they include (that we’ve all seen spammed to us).

The plot points are set in stone so youll have to wait for her story to be over so stop complaning and actually post something constructive so they do better on the next story. They are not going to give us dragon after dragon after dragon because that would get old as well and they want to save those for bigger things probably their form of expansions

Its hard to be constructive when the point of many of us is “Make Scarlet go away” and Anet wants to just jam more and more of it down our throats. Its past the time when that character could have been salvaged. Anet is doing nothing to speed up her demise and is going to march to their own drummer no matter how many customers they tick off.

Scarlet

  • This almighty powerful being who came out of nowhere also happens to be everywhere and behind everything. With some “mwhaha I’m not a good girl” dialogue inbetween. Long lost is the lore of the guild wars universe. The interesting and complex interaction between different factions with different political or magical backgrounds. The mystery and majesty of the mursaat, the abandonement of the human gods, the ancient dragons awakening, the ironic destiny of dredges who were once saved from enslavement by humans and are now fighting them. Everything. Everything that is/ was interesting in Tyria is being forgotten or ignored. The entire world now revolves around the writers’ new favourite and adourable pet, and in turn it doesn’t feels like a world anymore. Tyria is being re-shaped around a character that the playerbase can’t even like. Classic example where it seems like the writers are treating their favourite characters like their own kids, spoilering them by re-shaping the entire content around those characters, at the cost of everything else.

The writers are not very good and the company doesn’t have the integrity to do anything about it.

I can’t rate this latest LS. I refuse to participate when that horrific character is involved.

The writing of this characters has been…. pathetic…. I can’t use a stronger words on this forum and anything less doesn’t do justice to how awful Scarlet is as a character.

Anet pretty much makes the claim that they just can’t change anything very fast because of how long the stories take to develop. There is an old saying, when you’re in the hole, stop digging. She’s worthless – stop using her as the reason behind EVERYTHING!

Poll: Is Season 1 a disappointment?

in WvW

Posted by: Blockhead Magee.3092

Blockhead Magee.3092

I disagree. While there are things that should have been different about it – no toxic yada yada dumped in half way through the league, no achievement points etc, I thought it was ok.

The single biggest change I would make would be to the final matchup. Leave that one open to be the top 3 scorers from the prior six weeks. That match-up finale would be the final positions 1-2-3. Do the same for the other matchups and that gives a server who may have had an off week or two a chance to jump up a couple places.

You must have missed last night when we (SBI) completely overran the DB bl. We owned everything in sight. However, BP’s bl was not fully overrun. I’m sure there were Dragonbrand members saying that we were in cahoots with BP.

Coverage isn’t always consistent throughout the day on every BL by any of our servers. I know we have higher, but it still fluctuates.

Sadly, there isn’t much more unless you like that tediously boring Scarlet. They occasionally work in some decent temporary content, but most of it gets old after a few hours.

The holiday content is a hit or miss (Mad King and Trixx last year was awesome) the Bloody Prince this year was a weak sauce so coming back in December to see they do would be a good idea.

Otherwise, wait another year and maybe, just maybe, they’ll actually expand the continent and content of Tyria with something permanent and exciting.
