Solo dungeons and last part of personal story changed to solo.
Ambiguous info as always from Anet. It doesn’t doesn’t say NEW maps/open world/dungeons will be available for all. Yes, new content of some sort will exist in LS2, but new maps or areas open that aren’t part of LS2? Hopefuuly anet can clarify.
New maps with all the activities (vistas/jumps/hearts etc)
All instances will be soloable (not like the last instance of the personal story—even though chapters 1-79 were-the last one is a forced group)
RNG is fixed
Solo dungeons
Gem store will offer a 200 gem purchase option.
So —everything will be soloable then??? It really better be.
Just give me a proper expansion instead of the nickle and dime approach.But they aren’t nickle and diming you if you’re playing. Its free…. which I think is awesome. Of course, you could just wait til the end of the season and buy the whole pack, just like it was an expansion… Up to you…
Money creep—-everything lately just adds more.
And no way is heck does this compare to proper expansion in any way shape or form.
Sure you can play for free—ONCE YOU HAVE BOUGHT IT—-but it is evolving into a p2p and p2w game.
And based on season 1—-season 2 doesn’t hold much promise. You really can’t speculate that all of a sudden every episode will spectacular instead of mediocre with the odd good part. Unless of course there is a whole new group of devs.

From f2p, to p2w, now p2w and p2p.
Sad.

1) Daily and Monthly achievements

3)Sorry, that’s all that came to mind.
+1
Ditto—except I have even started to skip dailys as well.
Game is stagnant and the wallet is closed.
Don’t know yet, hopefully it’s gone to the same place as other 8 bit games and devices—an old box in the basement or the local dump. But each to there own :-)
Hi,
I’m sitting about 50g now and want to buy some gems. But I refuse to buy them when I get less than 100 gems for each 10g. Last night it would just not get to that level. For my 50, it was 490, 497, 495… etc and never above 500.
So, get off your Duff and buy some gems with cash so that I get above 50 for my 50g.
Please.
Forget that, I used to buy gems (gem cards) but my wallet has been locked for a few months now, and until the game improves and an expansion is sold, I can’t see myself buying another gem again. Buying gems would reinforce the idea that I support what the devs are doing to the game and I don’t.
Don’t worry buddy, an expansion wont happen for at least a minimum of 1 year and fortunately for the developers they only need like 15% of the population to buy stuff to make profit on AVERAGE.
As long as idiots buy bling that have no affect on stats, the game is doomed. Oh boy I can buy a hat with flowers on it—what fools they are and it ensures that game will not improve.
Or they are people with different preference than you, I mean who knew that there people out there different than you? Only a fool, disregards a person individual perferene.
What makes your comment even more sadder is the fact that the game has been improving without the need for an expansion. So what you are really saying is you want to pay 60 dollar for something you can get for free.
I guess you should read you own reply. You can disregard my preferences, but I can’t disregard yours. and BTW many posts disagree with statement that the game is improving—your statement is your feeling only, many would challenge it.
and the last sentence makes no sense at all.
More nerfs for sure.
2 weeks would have been perfect.

I feel the exact opposite. GW2 has already been messed up, and they they seem unable or don’t want fix some the issues discussed in various threads.
And expansion with more areas (more than one) opened with hearts/vistas ect. for PVE as well as solo dungeons and making the last instance in living story solo with NPCs( like every other part of the personal story.)
I’d almost be content if they fixed the enemy AOE cirlcles so they actually meant something (when I an standing outside of the red circle-is shouldn’t affect me).Some mob skills are anti-mob skills (which have no circles), such and Claw of Jormag’s breath, which does chill and fear besides the Claws and the ice damage (which are circles, BTW). Sometimes there is more than one AoE skill going on at the same time.
Sorry my friend—that is just BS!!~!!!. E.G. going to get the key activated in the reactor—jumping up, no mobs—1:1 with the the ice thingy, on a platform, I am well outside of the red circle and it knocks me down or even off the platform and I have to startover again. Just pure crappy programming that they can’t be bothered to fix. A rookie in game programming 101 could fix it —but not Anet because they don’t give a blank.

I’ve played the Boss Blitz just enough to get the kill variety achieves for the meta and then I was done.
I haven’t been back.
I play GW2 to relax, not have people from a particular guild shouting orders at me such as stand over here, stop damaging the boss, if you don’t have teamspeak go play something else, etc. The idea of one guild ordering EVERY player around in there turned me right off. Right off.
The content was fabulous…the social environment not so much. I don’t want to be whispered insults and yelled at for not having teamspeak or playing the content “the wrong way”. It’s not my cup of tea.
I got done and out as fast as I could.
Agreed with most of what you said, and the same—got my achievements and am done with it. Don’t agee about the content being fabulous though and I don’t want to be the ‘tag and afk’ type of player. So I play the game alot less (do the odd daily), and haven’t supported the game through gem purchases for a long time now. We’ll see in July if I have any reason to continue at all.
They already said, if you read the developer blogs, etc., that the content will be permanent and will not come out every 2 weeks but once a month and then in between quality of life tweaks in the game will be released.
True, but it doesn’t say what it might be and if the new ‘content’ will include more nerfs/ stopping farmers, more gold sinks and gem store items—which I feel will be part of any ‘quaility of life’ tweaks. There are still many things that need to be fixed.
I will be waiting to see—but not playing other than the odd daily when bored and definitly not supporting the game with gem purchases.
True,the forge itself is not broken, just the RNG.
To OP—no thanks. Leave it alone. Just like the people who say if TEQ/3 headed wurm is too hard (for whatever reason)and want them nerfed, just don’t play it. I say to you if you find kitten too easy,boring and not enjoyable-DONT PLAY IT. Go to the harder events or to the pavillion and enjoy that content. SO tired of people wanting buffs and nerfs because they don’t like a certain event and selfishly don’t care if it ruins it for others. There is hard content, there is easy content, there is zerg, there are events that require planning and coordination. There is enough varied content to go around. Quit trying to ruin it for others.
And I always hear the ettins yelling ‘More Beer’.
Just because they show a portal, doesn’t mean that there is a new permanent area with new content. Just pure speculation and wisful thinking by many.
hey look! Everyone likes it now and no more complaining. Now we move on to Season 2 and everybody hyped.
Sorry, but you do not speak for me and many others as well—-“EVERYONE”— likes its now and there is no one complaining? ‘EVERYONE’ hyped for season 2? I don’t think so on both statements.
You are so far out in left field, you are not even in the ball park anymore.
^^I guess some people have way too much money to blow, and secondly many would just convert their earned gold—-which would mean 0 money. Lastley—new content? Let me know when they produce some.
BTW to see ronald in the game would be just wrong in so many ways.
Okaaaaay? What rule are you banging on about?
I’ve never heard of it, and I can’t find it for the life of me.
Link it.(Not that it makes much of a difference at this point, evidently this thread has produced productive discussion, much more so then I had originality intended.)
I find it highly suspect of such a rule existing, it sounds banana pants.
Ditto, just reviewed the code of conduct
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/rules
and can’t find anything that clearly forbids a goodbye thread. There are many specific rules that will bring down the hammer, but saying bye bye doesn’t appear to be one of them. Some behaviour/comments within the thread may require a mods guidance, but not the theme of the thread (in this instance).
Today is the 1st time in many many months that that i haven’t logged in to play. It started with the megaservers, but this recycled festival and nerfs was the last draw. I even thought I might log on to do my dailies and log out. Couldn’t be bothered to do that tonight. I used to buy gem cards—but stopped that long ago. Anet has dropped the ball. Simple as that. They are burnt out.

I think it would be cool if we had a Clown outfit in the gemstore, it is something I would definitely pay 800 gems for. I have included a pic for influence and I am sure others will agree this is a good idea.
This is an example of why the game is going to die. A clown outfit that doesn’t enhance game play or has anything to do with getting new content. As long as peeps have money to throw away on crap like this—the game will never get the content/expansion many are dying for. So sad.
Bottom line, bad game design is bad game design—no matter what people come up with to compensate for it. Megaserver ruin it for all—less than 60 people needed to do it successfully—not going to happen with the mega running.

yep—it’s a fishing e-mail, hoping to land one. Don’t bite.
Any I have traced go back to china also.
Time for a little side trip to Borgovia for a break. Van needs some help. But, will keep up to date with future game content releases and the odd daily.
I’m unsure what’s preventing players from playing “the way they want to play”. Is everyone being forced to play a certain way? Am I the only one playing the way I want? :S
Well, it’s kinda hard doing a train for champs in QD without, you know, the champs.
Anet said. BAD PLAYERS! DOING THINGS THAT WE DON’T WANT!
And poof, the train is gone crushed by the allmighty nerfhammer.
Did you miss all the posts on these forums where the players were complaining about the QD train? You think maybe, just maybe, that had something to do with the nerf? If ANET didn’t want you to farm champs at all, why did they leave every champion in the rest of Tyria out of this? :S
And do you miss all the posts and replies that were for it?
And mind you, while you can disagree with the dev-direction on the Pavillion, Tman has a point.
And if reddit gives more mature feedback than whatever place you are at, you know it’s dire. :P
Lambents’ response-most mature and respectful! Actually it’s way the forums ask everyone to display (not always —but then the mods deal with it).
reddit—-censors many post/threads etc for many games so their unpaid mods don’t have to deal with too many posts nor is it always ‘mature’.
As for tman, not constructive in anyway, just a rude immature rant. I am sure it will be dealt with.

—It really does suck—
Got my achievements—not going back again! When I went to spend my ticket and there is nothing but junk to use it on —weapons skins plus gold--they are Ug – lee, a mini or tonic—USELESS. Nothing decent to purchase with it. This event can’t be over fast enough for me.
Not soon enough imho.
Tried it, a complete waste of time—other than getting the achievements-won’t be going back when done
Most have summed it up well. Other than a few worthwhile bug fixes (wurm/feedback) and being able to access everything in one place(LA), nothing noteworthy. Here.
It’s the recycle/nerf/spend/buy gems festival.
This new patch—-POS——gives me a reason to quit playing until the festival is over.
No thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
We currently have no plans to implement an in-game voice communication client. There are plenty of viable third-party options available, such as Ventrilo, Teamspeak and Mumble.
Thanks for the information.
I feel an in-game voice comm would be far more reliable than third-party software, not to mention more convenient for Ad-hock grouping.
Definitely something you guys should consider implementing , especially if you intend to develop more dungeons and fractals, or dare I say it? raids.
See below:

I’ve used all three, and they work well. No need to spend money to reinvent the wheel, when you can get the wheel for free.
I have also used all 3 and in my experience they can go down for hours, usually at the worst possible time too.
Is that truely your experience? I can’t speak for the the rest, but I’ve had a vent server for so many years that I can’t remember (back to Crimson Skies). It has NEVER gone down during play-ever. The only time it is down (in my experience) is during scheduled maintenance which the inform the owner about and even that is rare.
Bottom line-I thing your comment was more reactionary than based in fact.
I don’t think they have the software built into the game. They have the markers another software application can use to determine location built into the game.
I believe, somewhere/sometime a Dev once responded on this matter, and stated the company would not be adding voice chat to the game.
alright!—at least one smart dev—lol
Join a guild that has it’s own teamspeak, ventrilo or whatever. Don’t need companies investing time and money to develop and monitor what is readily available outside the game. Just a stupid idea/suggestion.
What this issue shows is that we need a report button for exploiters. Just today people explicitly asked mesmers not to use feedback because of this issue, so naturally one did and had a perfectly stupid excuse for it: the more people cried about him griefing the sooner Anet would fix this, so he was basically doing us all a favor. (No surprise that did not go over all that well.)
Lots of great people in this game, but so many jerks that can ruin it for the majority.
I guessed the group lucked out when I last did the wurm, mesmers were asked not to use feedback and they did, the 2x’s before that there was one or two that gave the group the finger, so no loot for many.
Derailing the train in QD by killing any champ I want, when I want; it’s MY game, I’ll play how I want. Viva la resistance! Vers le bas avec le train!!
And other stuff.
Ya need to add being a troll/griefer to the poll. LOL
Nice work!! Thanks.
I think it would be funny as heck, to see the mesmers die when using the bug/exploit. And after getting shut out the last 2 times with this event because of Mesmer griefers-(btw it’s more than just a few)-it would make it worthwhile just to see them cry about it for a day or two.
Just look at how up most responded to the bait on the fishing line that was cast out(so easy here ). I know that it would never be implemented.
But seriously—the devs need to take a second and fix this NOW.
Don’t care how they fix, but they need to.
Nerf it would be one way, but I would prefer that the event is changed so wurm is immune to feedback skill and all damage is reflected back at mes that initiated the feedback.
BTW, I do firmly believe that mesmers use it solely to grief others during the wurm event. kitten trolls think it’s funny to stop others from getting rewards.Why should it damage the mesmer? That makes no sense. Just make it so the wurm can’t one-shot itself by getting hit with feedback from its own attacks. It’s just that simple.
I threw that in just to see the response. Way too many (I know—not all) are using it now JUST to grief the event.
It would only kill the mes that used feedback during the event, so if you didn’t use it during the event—you have noting to worry about.

Some permanent nodes are purposely left out of reach to catch harvest bots that use illegitimate methods to get there.
People get to this specific one, I watched one—-not a bot—mine it and the op has pics of there success.
BTW 1 or 2 (even a dozen) nodes that cannot be reached would have 0 (zero) effect on bots—thye wouldn’t evn bother with them—but that really has nothing to do with
with the thread.
Saw someone up there today. I was close, but I am one jump short.
Another thread, but it wasn’t completed (limited info).

Re-posted here as per a Moderator’s suggestion:
Evening all.
I just attended my first Shadow Behemoth after the implementation of the new megaservers & I have to say I’m absolutely disgusted with player attitude nowadays.
Almost 95% of the raid just sat there spamming skill 1 during the portals phase instead of helping kill the portals. The worst part: it’s considered “normal” now. I’m sorry, since when did Guild Wars 2 turn into easy-mode World of Warcraft?
I so wish ArenaNet would punish the leechers somehow. Not contributing to a major part of an event should not be tolerated. It’s as bad as the leechers that used to suck the life out of Competitive Missions & Alliance Battles in Guild Wars.
I was literally coming out here to post about the same thing. It’s standard Behemoth fight nowadays – a handful of people run around clearing the portals while a 100 people stand there leeching off others. Now, since there are so many people, the mobs around the portals scale up to champs and elites regularly, making a few man portal clearing operation pretty dangerous.
Is this how the updated Behe event is meant to be played? “play how you want”? I seriously hope that the devs take another look of the fight, since nowadays it just sucks because of the player attitudes.
Yep!!! Getting real tired of the lazy,spam 1, leechers that don’t help with the portals (in this instance—but many other events have a majority doing the same thing).
I hope Anet will fix this up, but like the complaints about AFK’rs in dragon bash (for example)that wasn’t addressed, I don’t have high hopes.
It will just be easier to join the leechers-and more and more seem to be (imho).
