Guild Wars 2

LOL anet is on PST time and can’t figure out how to read a calendar. And they actually program for this game?

Australia, too close to the date line. A little time before its the 1st here

For all those wishing for an ‘easy’ mode for Raids.

From the latest Patch Notes:

Raids
General

Infantile mode is now available for all raids. Bosses have 50% reduced health and outgoing damage. Loot from the boss chests consists of two blues and a green.

Enjoy. ; )

Yay!!! Can’t wait to participate in infantile mode XD

Fantastic, as long as My EXP bar can progress again!!!!! Too bad it’s APril fools and someone cant read a calendar.

Skyworn.5920:

I dont care if this gets any views or replies, let it die in forum post hell for all i care but THE BEST EVENT IS COMING TO TOWN BOYS N GIRLS!!!!!

SUPER freakin ADVENTURE BOX!!!

I have been waiting alllll year to do the troll event known as SAB! I seriously am fan girlin’ sooo hard right now! Annet, you better have made world 3 or im gonna come to Bellevue, WA and spank all your butts! I have begged and pleaded, i NEED ME WORLD 3! But since its just an April fools joke, hell you could tell me “Oh yeah Sky, dont worry we went ahead and made world 3 AND 4!” ….“APRIL FOOLS”

Oh well thank you for wasting a few moments of your day to read this silliness, also for anyone who collects GW memorabilia like i do i hate to plug annets stuff but SAB is out in their shop now :heart eyes:

Bellevue, WA

Yep there just isn’t enough current threads about this.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

What, exactly, are you asking ArenaNet to do? Make groups take you? Make players ‘git gud’ for your groups? I’m confused about what you are asking for.

Good luck.

They could make the content so you could actually learn it from in game experience in the first place. Like any good game designer knows to do without being battered about it by their audience.

Making content that teaches you nothing, requiring material outside the experience to be understood, is like making a movie based on a book, and deliberately writing it to not make sense to anyone who hasn’t already read the book.

And that is how GW2s endgame content has always been made, it’s unintuitive, immersion breaking, elitist design that disrespects the audience and the work itself. And the stupidest thing is that even though it’s done more damage to the game than any other design mistake ANet has made, ANet still just worsens the problem with every single update to supposed ‘high-tier’ content, and then denies there is any problem as the playerbase continually shrinks.

One of the best posts in quite a while and hopefully devs / Mo read it and take it seriously and make some changes. OP should add these comments to the ‘lost identity’ thread.

a handy helpful tool

I know I just love seeing all those exp points flashing on the screen and my exp bar stuck on full and never moving. Raids didn’t need to affect PvE exp that way or even be included in that aspect of the game for that matter.

Nope(to the op), the devs have acknowledged outlier accounts, both positive and negative. If you have a negative one, you are basically screwed. Farm gold and buy is your only option.

Source on that?

22 pages if you want. But Point 2 by John Smith and an idea how to deal with it but never implemented.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/RNG-as-a-concept-Discuss/first

in other threads he says things like
“Here’s the premise. RNG is evenly distributed on aggregate. On an individual level this means that while almost everyone falls into a reasonable range in the middle, there are outliers on each side of the distribution that are either highly rewarded or not rewarded at all.These individuals become sample cases and spotlights for experiences that maybe shouldn’t exist.

There are many others including reddit, Google is your friend.

Yes it has (to answer the OP). The arguments for or against don’t matter. If the perception towards the game is negative, nothing you can do or say will matter.

8:00 PM instead of 7:00 for my reset. Hate it.

But tacos and apples didn’t make it impossible to see a small landing space when there are 2,3 ,4 ect blinding the view (nor did small wings the black and white wings for that matter). These new ones actually interfere with game play.

An account birthday gift AS WELL AS character birthdays would be most welcome.

Getting behind 4 of these (all using as bright a color as possible) on a hit point train in VB, made it impossible to follow. Hopefully ‘Just a’ is right and the novelty wears off.

Keltan.1827:

One of the problems is a lack of hard core programmers. I used to think game companies had bunches of such programmers, but now I speculate they are only about 5-10% of the staff. Most of the staff are either customer support or artistic types.

………. Geez, they can’t even add checkpoints for the longer stories as a work around.

One reason I haven’t bothered to complete echos of the past. Having to start from the beginning and redo the boring find books, talk to cook etc every time was nothing short of ridiculous in the 1st place and can’t now because of a small development staff, any major additions like saving builds will be a long time coming if at all.

Working as intended

True, but maybe it’s time those that approve and allow all these visuals distractions and clutter review just how much they distract from game,annoy some of their player base and visually interfere with play before adding them.

then they would still be added because the average player won’t fill the bill you just set up.

Translation please? Are you saying the majority of players like not being able to see anything or are you saying the leads don’t have the ability to make good decisions to improve the game over gem store sales?

Translation; the majority doesn’t think it’s a visual distraction or annoyance

Stats on that OPINION please. We can disagree and voice our OPINION but neither is a fact.
and got a source for 5000 number as well?

Nick Lentz.6982:

You can’t stay logged in. You have to use a skill or you get kicked out.

All players have to do is be close enough to press 1 button every 15 minutes or so. And according to the rules laid out by the dev, they can AFK farm as much as they want as long as they respond to a dev message asking if they’re AFK. Set up your AFKer and then go do some housework, play another game in the background, solve world hunger…the sky is the limit!

Auto heal

Nick Lentz.6982:

The only way for someone to stay afk and farm is if they have an outside program. Which is where the ban come from.

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong, Wrong!!!!!!!!!
Rangers and Necros in game mechanics working as intended allows AFK farming which the devs have spoken out against.

The problem here is like txting and driving. It’s rarely if ever enforced but the police say don’t do it and move on. So more and more do it without fear.
It’s not about being able to AFK, it’s not about enough resources to ‘police’ but more about as not having any desire to to do something about even though it would be quite easy to do so. IF GMs dropped in to known AFK spots randomly once a day and handed out 72 hr bans for a 1st offence (longer for repeat offenders) the word would get around pretty fast.

and don’t delete your original character because of the birthday bonus every year.

You really do risk being banned for messing around with addons. There are very few (as mentioned, not true addons) but if they cross the fine line it’s bye bye to your account.

Danikat.8537:

Things we know are coming:

• Super Adventure Box returns in April.
• Episode 5 of Season 3 has been confirmed, probably coming in May (since Ep.4 was February).
• New legendary weapons will keep coming out periodically.
• Legendary armour is coming, and presumably new raid wings to get it from.
• Expansion – date unknown but players have predicted it will be the end of this year.

and you missed

• No Mounts
• No Player Housing
• No Capes.

If you’re buying HoT and have an existing account, you upgrade it under account.arena.net by adding the code.

If you already used HoT to register a new account, you can contact support to undo that, which will mean losing the newer account.

Thank you. I already have an existing GW2 account so I will just enter the code in my arena net account on the web site.

Yep!! Top right right here. Click account and use the redeem code button.

xALBx.3981:

The low respawn makes it tolerable in a way, but not good at all.
I sadly only get maps where especially molten Pre (and, for a fact, the boss too) dont get called, which makes camping sort of the only posebility, and if it is only with the eyes^^

I do agree on Jade though. It is kinda intresting designed but the implementation is not good. and That the reward is nonexistant is a fact too x)

Bad luck I guess, I have never been on a map where the pres aren’t called out by someone. The events recycle so fast its’ never been a problem.

Khisanth.2948:

The events only have around a 10m cooldown so that isn’t very far out of line. The fact that the jade construct is a waste of time seems like a bigger problem …

^ TRUTH! Jade needs a rework or at the very least Anet needs to really up the drops.

And look for messages about pres starting for both events and take part in those, then you will never miss out. Using WPs and Lava one can always get to the pres in seconds. DON"T CAMP—play the pre events.

Never going to happen and the OP could have discovered that by using Google to read up on the 100’s of threads out there.

Would prefer that ANET would get some money from the parents and get new forums that actually functioned fully. As for race change, I believe it has been stated it would break the game, it’s off the table as is DX11

I would have got a legendary longbow a long time ago, if it wasn’t such a flowery little pony item. Would love to see kudzu retired and something much more epic take its’ place.

You reached your cap (15000). Zillions of posts about it here but you have to use google to search the forum since it is sooooooo broke.

Not so much crashing as it is DCs for the past week experienced by many and more often.
I have experienced more DC over the past weekend and today than I have had in the past year or 2 (or whenever I moved to the 64 bit). I’ll remember to grab the codes next time.

You have to submit a ticket to support and wait. Nothing can be done for you here.

You want the EXP, open up your wallet. If you don’t buy it, you will have the restricted F2P as it now is.
Hopefully ANET gives some break on the next Exp for those that paid full price 2x’s.
HoT just wasn’t worth the price, specially if you had paid for the core already.

You are not likely to get that, because you are not paying “for the expansion”, you are paying “for the expansion now”, which is a significant difference.

I’m sure xpac 2 will go on sale after three or six months, at which point you can get your discount. You just have to be happy that you didn’t get to participate in it for those months.

Semantics! I will have paid full price 3x’s with the ridiculous model Anet uses, a new player only once. Secondly, an EXP isn’t a full game, it is small ‘expansion’ to the full game. A new player to the game should pay more, those that already have the core and Hot, should pay less.

Reported and merge requested, just because these redundant mount requests just keep on coming.

OGDeadHead.8326:

As a ranger main (for life!) I expect nothing but nerfs, and no fixes at all for the thing that defines this class – our pets.
No worries though – we’re used to it, and we always find a way to stand strong, even though we have most of the community and apparently most of the devs working against us.
Flippin numbers around in a spreadsheet and call that ‘balance’ is a joke, just so you know.

++11111111
As ranger and long time player I can only agree. “Balance” is the code word for nerf and increasing grind. There is absolutely no reason that they can’t share the info about the changes now and open them to discussion imho.

Never going to happen, Anet doesn’t have the funds to invest to fix or replace their forums to enhance its’ use for their customers.

Bottom line as a long time player, it is not Anet best moment.

Yep, pretty much. One class i have that is fast has no problem, the rest of my toons. needs to find boosts. Running through the so called leather farm is just , as you noted, ridiculous. It needed a rework yesterday. The devs are losing it.

GreyWolf.8670:

The second pillar on the second crossing of the stream is the problem. If your connection lags at all or you don’t maneuver just right you don’t get enough height to land on the pillar. It’s a bit to far away and high to compensate for latency.

Use a speed boost.

Not nerfed—-exploit closed.

Doesn’t the OP mean the last day of exploiting?

Darn -beat me to it Donari and Ayrilana.

Maybe the OP could be bothered to the read the official post and thread instead opening a new thread on the same subject. There is a word for it but it is likely cause an infraction.

altermaven.7385:

The whole thing regarding AB MM is ambiguous. Sure I expect that the grand/great exalted chests will be “locked” to one meta and can’t be re-looted cross-instance, but when exactly will the restriction release? When the meta restarts, or when the server resets? Curious — I don’t really bother doing AB MM anymore (but still do AB meta), but just want to know how this is panning out, as well as for a guildie’s knowledge as he’s ran AB meta often.

side note, 2 edits, two sips of caffeine. sorry if I’m not explaining myself well.

seems quite clear in the opening post of this thread
“This release will include the promised fix to AB multi-looting. The fix is simple: you can loot each of the great and grand chests once each time you complete the meta, once per map cycle.”

and as ASHEN said at few posts up

“Do an event once…get the rewards for that event once. Want to get the rewards again? Do the event again.
Seems like a pretty straightforward system.”
