Guild Wars 2

Slowburn.5319:

The new content is in the cash shop of course. duh. Buy to play model does not provide content updates…..

Festivals and zerg fights are all you’re getting.

You need “recycled” before your last sentence.

Just like 99.9999999999……… of the drops in this game, pure excrement.

Completely useless thread!

Andred.1087:

People will always gravitate toward the path of least resistance. That’s what the zerg is, at least, so long as there are enough people participating. I really feel like the answer to the zerg problem is twofold:

1. Make more awesome(-looking) gear that’s not nearly as difficult to obtain as legendaries, so people don’t spend all their time in-game grinding toward a far-fetched goal they may never achieve.

2. Add more lengthy, permanent content for solo players to experience so they just have better things to be doing than running around curb-stomping champ mobs and world bosses for arguably meaningless loot (what’s the point of having cool stuff if there’s not a whole lot you can do with it?)

At least, that’s the kind of stuff I would want. I mostly play alone, so I can’t do any of the good end-game content that does exist. I’d sure love to see some Cantha one of these days.

2 thumbs up!!!

Rezz.8019:

Why would you want it to be harder? It’s all about getting the loot anyway. Faster = better

True, but the problem here is there actually has to be decent loot.

Meglobob.8620:

I was not expecting anything till June, so this is great news…

Personally I loved gauntlet, so I can’t wait to fight those ‘bosses’ again. Also please, please let us swap all our useless ascended materials for something good. I will love the Zephyrites forever if they can take all my stacks of ascended rubbish!

DragonWhimsy.6489:

Aww… no Dragon Bash this year?

Expect Dragon Bash later this year, I think Anet want the Chinese/Asia market to take part in Dragon Bash. Rumour has it Chinese LOVE dragons…

Dragon Bash——→ ONLY, and I mean ONLY, if they can deal with the AFK’rs.

LOL—snuck that mount issue in again-it’s a dead horse.

But I agree in theory permanent new content is needed (maps/quests/SOLOABLE dungeons—PvE content!!!!).
Raids/mounts/living quarters—meh!

Actually this tread was about new content, now it’s discussing recycled content with a few location changes. This is not new content.
So back to the original question-where’s the new content and when can we expect ti.

Recycle—-can’t wait! ;-)

Kal Spiro.9745:

Blude.6812:

Oh boy—new content/maps/dungeons and a megaserver revamp!!! Thanks for all the new stuff!!!!

/sarcasm?
Since none of it is new?

LOL-of course it is (sarcasm).

lordkrall.7241:

And here we have it: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/prepare-for-the-festival-of-the-four-winds/

Happy now? ^^

Not really—seems to be another recycle.

Oh boy—new content/maps/dungeons and a megaserver revamp!!! Thanks for all the new stuff!!!!

Abandon Ware? Sure seems like it lately.

Youse guys are funny. ONLY 7 weeks and you complain…..

If they were on an expansion model, no problem. But their model is to give small content updates every two weeks.

And abandonware is actually a really good description for large portions of the game (dungeons, WvW, for example).

No – they said they were modifying that. Please read developers blogs – you would know what is going on.

Quite bluntley, I don’t have any faith in any thing presented in a ‘Blog’. We all know just how truthful and honest blogs are. And add to that a complete loss of any confidence in the dev team. Blogs mean sfa.

Algreg.3629:

. This ISN´T a Barbie dress-up game.

Seems to me this is eactly what it has become.

Abandon Ware? Sure seems like it lately.

Yep—patch screwed up regular drops/made them much more difficult to get.
Got one last night by not helping with ice brood portals, just starting hitting the shaman as soon as I could target and didn’t stop to rez anyone. I’ve read in other threads party up(as other have said) and/or don’t bother stopping to rez others since that time spent rezing may be just enough to stop you from getting in enough damage to get boss chest (like MAW).

The zergs are just too big now and unless you are trying to get event achievements for daily, there are plently of people to do the pre event.

Just another LIE!! Call it like it is!!!

I know you are trying to be positve and hopefull, but that being said as well as my complete loss of confidence with those that are developing the game ….

No new content, just new ways to get those with more gold they need to buy useless stuff like hats. More nerfing is inevitable, higher costs for everything, more gold sinks,. At this point I don’t think the future looks good for any type of real content or maps being developed as well as fixing anything. Would like to add more, but —-

^ in the same boat.
Something is borked.

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

Interesting…. just a couple months ago it was ‘overflows are the bane of community events.’ Now it’s mega servers….

kitten ed if they do…. kitten ed if they don’t

Actually kittened when they do it wrong.

When it’s ready™

Just around the corner.
Your feedback is important to us.
We’re listening.

And don’t forget thier best response

“Working as intended”

X The Manimal.5293:

This should go in the “Feedback/Questions: Megaserver” thread. Might get more attention there.

That’s funny, it won’t get anymore attention there.
This will likely get merged anyway.

The bosses aren’t the problem, the megazergserver is.

If they are forcing you to double or triple wp to get to where you want because they can’t figure out how to open wps in the mega maps until you enter the area, then ya—they should be free.
Extra cost and extra load timetime. It’s not a point of the cost.

This really has nothing to with players helping players, hopefully it will be merged with
the megaserver thread, like they have done with all similar topics.

Sin.3042:

Blude.6812:

Given what’s going on (business model more important than free enhancements, fixes etc), I would suggest that a new cursor model be placed in the TP and they charge 5000 special red gems that could only be bought on the TP with a card/PP transaction.
I think the business part of the company would go for that and would have more of chance of it being implemented.

It will be frustrating for most part of people that cant pay for in-game things.
If we implement economic part in this option – then it must have drastic changes to complete expectation, but then this thing will create imbalance between gamers like in most sh*ty MMO games, in which Premium account is a great advantage.

I was being sarcastic(sorry for not being clear), just saying that the bottom line for this company now is $ and that is being reflected in the current state of updates, no new content, nerfing, etc. Bugs and oversights like the cursor and targeting that people have mentioned since day one and virtually ignored( among others).

Porterhouse.6304:

nGumball.1283:

Players either want a comment on every post or won’t be statisfied and I don’t want any arguments going ‘’if they just had one comment explaining’’, players will react negativly whatever Anet does.

They may as well be silent and let the players complain cause they complain anyhow.

You know the opposite end of this spectrum exists too, right?

There are players on here who think that Anet could do no evil, applauding everything and anything they do. Anet could convert all of their gold into bowls of chocolate cherry frosting, delete all of their characters, and transfer their account to the Arctic Circle.
They would then post on these forums about how they deserved it.

You know these players exist also!

Beautiful!!!!! +100 if I could.

iFocus.3781:

I feel sorry for you backward striving people. It must be really difficult to live in a world of constant change.

The game you’re looking for is called Skyrim. There you won’t have to meet other actual people

Personally, I feel that it is awesome to finally meet people who are willing to do other things than just run a zombie zerg through Queensdale.

Now it’s a ‘Zombie Zerg’ from world boss to world boss with the added advantage of lag, increased $ for gem store items, and obivously, more than is able to be comprehended.

Given what’s going on (business model more important than free enhancements, fixes etc), I would suggest that a new cursor model be placed in the TP and they charge 5000 special red gems that could only be bought on the TP with a card/PP transaction.
I think the business part of the company would go for that and would have more of chance of it being implemented.

I have enough for 3 toons (I sickle short). They a convenience item. I didn’t have to be concerned about how many tools I had or what character had what equpped.
I was waiting to buy the final tool . However I am not.
1st- the increase in price. Too much.
2nd—until Anet comes out of hiding and deals with all the problems or concerns regarding the feature patch (whether real or not—they need to address them), I will not be purchasing anymore. I have purchase a few gem cards and in game in the past. I suggest all do the same or use ingame (not purchased)gold.

Zanshin.5379:

Megaservers work in NA where you all speak english.
They don’t work in EU because we speak several languages.

Please remove the megaservers from the EU.

Saw spanish today, with an english client—so no it doesn’t work in NA.

New development team or at the very least some new ideas that work (like a real expansion pack).

They are all made in China now and are staying there!

Always kill them when you want to,in any order, then grab some popcorn!

ThaOwner.7560:

the game is free to play for a reason, it seems like u could really use a break, stressing over in game gold

Free to play??? No, you had to buy the game. Not F2P in any sense. It’s a personal decision after you pay for the game to particpati in the pay to win/pay to wear useless bling, annoying noise makers, and other useless stuff that Anet can make money off or particpate in the TP.

A quick question, do we have to register with your guild site before we can enter contest? Or is there a way just to enter without becoming a member of your group/forums?

It is just stupid that anyone could design the the pre-events to run without allowing the boss to spawn.—my goodness, just how lame is that.

Great community!!!! Thanks to both of you!!!

Anet should have had this type of tool in game.

Thanks for that!
Here’s another one

Duke Nukem.6783:

most of us love this update

LOL—what forums are you reading? Wait a sec, I got it 420.

Thanks very much and very useful!

Get this stuff stickied please to keep it up infront for all.

These ‘feedback’ topics really need to be stickied.

Dalanor.5387:

Less forum, play the game. Personal story already hold your hands where to go.

Hayashi.3416:

Save them for ascended crafting. 5 laurels per recipe is much, much steeper than it first appears.

I had 210 laurels and now I’m left with only 1, after getting ascended weapons, half armor and amulets for my characters.

Yep making my ascended emptied me out too. Building my stockpile up again..

Astralporing.1957:

Well, one thing we do know now. CDI was nothing more than a PR smoke screen. The one thing they obviously do not intend to do is to talk with community.

^ this +1

Albadaran.1283:

Hmmm, happy I read this before buying a new chr. expansion slot. This is not how I like to play the game, so I stick to my old chr’s I guess….

I worked a new toon to lvl 40 before the patch—that was sure a waste of time.

Sinbold.8723:

Jrole.1423:

The new schedule is ok if you’re

- unemployed

Which, sadly, many Americans are. Thanks, Obama.

And may I remind you, Anet, that unemployed people usually don’t buy gems.

Never mind the politics please, but maybe the some people will soon experience the unemployment line. I have a few names in mind.

playfuldreamer.1920:

UncleOris.1892:

I honestly can’t come up with a reason as to why nobody from Anet has responded to this thread, after the patch went live.

But if I had to try and find some shred of a reason, I’d have to go with this: They hope, collectivly, that this thread dies soon. The faster the better.

That way, they don’t even have to come and answer us. They won’t have to explain themselves. They can just keep pretending that everything is amazing.

I’m baffled that Dev’s these days don’t seem to understand one really important factor: The short-term costumers won’t bring you kitten. They might bump your playerbase for a few weeks, hell, maybe even 2 months. But what’s after that? The most loyal playerbase any MMORPG can have will be so kittened off that they left the sinking ship a long time ago – just to be mistreated somewhere else, eventually.

But for that – and for the effects of it, it’s only you who is to blame, Anet. But what’s a loyal customer-base when you can have short, easy cash with buzzwords and less actual service. Got dat patchmoney, eh?

We will see how long this can keep going.

It’s actually common practice in community management to isolate and ignore complaints until posters get tired of themselves and give up. Every major fiasco in modern gaming has been handled this way (a certain city-builder, a sci-fi high fantasy game, and an ancient history battle simulator all come to mind). And since it works, I don’t see the practice changing.

If you don’t acknowledge a problem, it doesn’t exist.

+1 (more if I could.
This exactly what Anet is doing. Too bad they can’t take a second to acknowledge the discontent.

Mistwing.3578:

Alright, agreed, but i won’t let this thread fall off front page. If i have to be denied it’s one thing, but to be ignored, that, i won’t stand for.
So keep bumping this thread my rp brothers.

I agree on this, we must keep this thread on front page, at least to show Anet that we are serious, and not complaining lightly.

All of these threads SHOULD have been sticky’d- I think they they hope it will disappear to the back pages.
