Guild Wars 2

So kick people for wearing MF gear , seriously what has this game come to. i pray you hide away in your guilds and never need pugs, for their sakes.

low.

so “Hello, everyone! I’m Isaiah Cartwright, lead designer on Guild Wars 2. I wanted to talk to you about two upcoming changes to the fractal dungeons: reconnect and party-tier improvements”

Are these changes in effect ? it has “upcoming” does that mean we wait another month for this to happen and this is just to soften people up or am i lead to assume the latest patch was indeed these changes.

i just joined a fractals group doing level 8 and i am level 7, they said “sorry it wont let us do level 8 with you in the party” and boo ya i’m kicked.

Some clarification about this would be fantastic

NOT griefing at all , mate your in the lions cage , your dancing with the devil , there are 0 rules in pvp it maybe not morally right to do it but do you walk in the ghetto at night? You know what’s gunna happen. If this is griefing then I’m the worst offender , but its not like it doesn’t happen to me. Having no rules means nothing can be griefing it is I’m sorry a case of deal with it

A con to make ppl buy orbs? I think not. It’s designed so nothing can be zerged it simply adds difficulty and i think everyone is fine with that, well almost everyone

I agree, I was amazed you could buy gems for gold to start with.and near in mind nothing you NEED is on the bltc its stuff you WANT therefore it does not stop anyone’s progress

The autoattack on a warrior longbow does not loop when outside of the original “1200” range when traited into “extend longbow range”, you simply have to keep mashing key 1 to continue attacking , highly annoying plz fix !

It’s smells like a mock support answer if you ask me. I thought its common knowledge from launch you can sell these , there’s no problem with it

100b only way to deal high dmg are you srs? I have killed ppl with axe main hand and bull charge b4 they get to their feet . I have killed GS warriors without leaving a scratch. You have a lot of chars and clearly you have gone cookie cutter build and failed. Wars are in no way vunerable to conditions with a traited warhorn and ute’s whilst sacrificing very little damage. You just need to be creative and see where your playstyle meets your weapon/trait choices then your enemies will feel the warrior wrath

I like your examples and i agree with them. Except
Argument 8 i understand ppl can spend more time on the game than i can , and i would expect them to have more than i do. My argument is because of number 3 a player with more time will have a legendary for much CHEAPER than a person without the time. Ofcs they will have it quicker due to time invested but I don’t think the finish line should move further and further away for the casual player for the same item. If all I good and fair you will see my logic in that.

Bartho.7896:

I am now working on my second legendary (The Dreamer), which I thought requires onyxes, then i learned it doesnt.
I have no respect for ppl who get their legendary through continuous whining on forum.
If you have

And I have no respect for ppl who name drop.their legendaries on the forums . Your to cool mate. What is the difference between complaining about the amount of HP a boss has and the price of a section of item ppl have been working on for months? In a way your saying don’t complain you have to buy your legendary @ x2 the cost I did , is that fair?

The lodestone drop have been reduced but only because they are rare quality so they are in the same drop field as most yellows , since Nov 15th

I was rocking over 100% mf while my friend was wearing pure berserker
He was netting many more rares than me after a week of farming baracuda it was obvious something was wrong with mf or my account.

I was rather mad and i proceeded to salvage my gear for non mf gear, after.another couple of days at frostgorge he was still netting more rares than I was.
I searched the forums and found endless posts like this. I’m not basing it purly on the above iv had many many more instances following this pattern.

This is my rant in support of your glitchy Dr claims.I’d like to add mf also seems to have some relationship with this (in a bad way) or perhaps just broken

Please note if you like rng or not it doesn’t mean you MUST get it , it means of you want to run a dungeon 200 you may get a weapon not many other people have. Again this doesn’t mean you have to achieve it you simply have more options than just a linear token system how will it hurt anyone to have these kinds of things added

not only that i don’t see the one copper …

For those who aren’t aware in gw1 dungeon there was a very very small chance of getting a dungeon specific weapon skin. Sure there are already unique skins but these are a set price and entirly achievable. I’m refering to unique skins only acquired from the last boss chest. In gw1 this kept dungeon addictive and gave a sense of purpose . I think it would work fine over and above the current system well.

He doesn’t have a point . He’s playing egg and spoon race in a red shirt in a field of bulls .you want 0. Deaths and you play wvw ? W t f. Secondly if you have isp issue I feel for you but that’s your problem no one else’s .and your wrong you don’t HAVE to cap things if you want you can kill as many ppl as you like anywhere you like , and you shouldn’t have to deal with them logging at last minute to avoid giving loot. 0 deaths at level 80’s try crafting kitten .

I do, and i think ppl are misunderstanding me.ppl with a lot of time 3-4 months for leg average player 12 months as dog pointed out,now for the average player the finish line keeps moving forward due to the prices therefore its taking even longer and expensive to achieve. So its in no way equal for one player to another , sure clovers are rng that’s fine but that ideally should be the only variable. How is it fair to have a person that can’t spend as much time pays 100% more cost than someone that does have the time (for the same legendary), imo I think regardless of how much time you dedicate you should both have the same finish line.
Eg set precursor prices or recipes.
And am I not allowed to complain if all i want equality,like ppl basically saying stop complaining you can’t make it at the price I did ,its not constructive don’t post here

I didn’t ever say I wanted easy mode legendary after all I have all 3 gifts which has taken a lot of time effort and gold/farming so now I need a precursor. So people whom bought dusk for 100-200g a while back are telling me not to complain , they are not the ones faced with the rising prices.so has that got anything to do with “difficulty”? Or getting a precursor with minimal attempts at the forge again reference to “difficulty”? Having time to be at lost shore event for the chest the only difficulty for me was being online at a time that i couldnt possibly be online.
If anything I will have twice the workload to earn my legendary over someone that has more time or more luck than me. So no it has nothing to do with being difficult to get and everything to do with circumstances.

Unfortunatly I did it in reverse and now precursor is my last frontier, and due to the heavy farming nerfs and inflating prices the difference between me getting my legendary and someone months ago could be 500g + . Ok yes i am complaining about the cost, I work all day and have limited time at night I couldn’t be at lost shore for the final event.I’m not saying I would have got a precursor but a chance at one would have been nice.

Try telling me a full time worker won’t spend as much on gems as an unemployed yet it still favours ppl with more time than others ,and it really doesn’t have to be that way. Would it impact negatively on the economy by putting a price cap on these items?

I totally agree I think they are getting further away from what they wanted to achieve with down scaling .how about adding random event bosses to dailies eg the fire elemental in metrics

GODLIKE , TRIPLE KILL!

I agree morph it is only certain precursors and I know its cliche that I should be choosing twilight but i wanted at the 3 day headstart and still do so yes it is more dusk/dawn I am refering to. As for an above post I feel I would rather complain to anet as they have the power to change it and they “share pplz concerns” rather than pleading to a mass of ppl across all servers to not buy at these prices, thats kinda impossible.

I see ppl buy order (and yes ofcs I have put in a buy order^) jumping the orders up by 20g when they could just overcut by 1c , this is just unrivaled stupidity.

LOL @ 100 dungeon gifts^

So I thought increasing drop chance would be a good thing but I see that for about a week the price on these dropped greatly the supply got chewed up and now the price is higher than before.

390g for dusk is crazy , I know you can tell me places and ways to farm which I do already , my guildies got dusk first pop after getting 400 weaponsmith and crafts exotics and putting them into forge.so essentially that’s a 350g drop . It hurts I can spend so much time farming and achieve half of the gold of his 1 second of luck.

Anet said scavenger hunt, surly increased drop rate doesn’t refer to this,
Does anyone know of any intended changes coming because the more links I search the more confused I get. I would love to see a set recipe come into place but who knows.

Nonlinear.9823:

Pro’s run past as much as possible.

You need to stop playing GW2 and L2P GW2: Dungeon Runner.

Run from as much as you can whenever possible. Totally the way these dungeons are intended to be run, rest assured!

Learn to run. Then you, too, can be a leet dood.

A pro “run paster” ROFL are you serious , there is no skill in running past a mob. OnLy advice I can give the op is find a group or guild that does fracts as intended instead of pugging

Confirmed seemed to be when I was in char form

Angelus.1042:

Setus.4731:

Doesn’t Dusk have a level 80 requirement to equip? Do trials start at level 80 or something? Also I heard rewards were scaled with level.

THats what I figured…I hope I can get the dusk from him tonight before he gets locked out

Off topic sorrows embrace final boss gives a thumbs up when he sinks into the lava. Terminator2 rep

I have experienced this today , chantry was the very last POI when i went there i got the reward pop for completing 1/1 POI in chantry, after that nothing. relogged went in and out of chantry again, went to LA nothing got my star on login and title , but no star above my name and certainly no gifts.
highly frustrating

I agree refer to my post above and yes stacking might and other buffs works well you do not have as much damage as glass cannon groups however I found it to be on par but mostly quiker due to a lot less downing/zerging so imo it is very comparable time wise to a glass cannon group

We run me warrior with traited banners for regeneration and buffs a water ele for heals/regen and a mace shield gaurdian for prot and buffs and heals,most fights we boast 20 stacks of might multipul regeneration boons and we have got to the point where we can outheal most damage allowing me to really take on a tank role . This doesn’t truly apply to bosses though but it is still very effective

The funniest thing is people refering to “fun” where is the fun in standing in one spot mashing 3 buttons and looking at a damage meter,not to mention a spoon feeding add on that saiz the boss is about to own you with skill X in exactly 36 seconds and counting. For me its the people that defend their right to build gear then mindlessly do the same thing everyweek that are not having fun.and BTW if bosses were so boss why in the hello would they target a tank in the first place . How unrealistic and lame do you want to make dungeons?

So how fun is farming/grinding? Not fun at all yet ppl do it for hours on end.
The thing is YOU don’t get rewarded well for them so you pick them to pieces. There is ways to not zerg even the hardest ones if you just be creative, if you think die res is the only way your spelt mistaken. I’m really sick of seeing 1,ooo of the same post worded differently. If you don’t like them don’t play them.

Despite all good intentions “recount” style meters have they are very destructive for any game setting players apart and further stopping casual gamers getting groups for various things. Its the same as making public everyone’s payrate in a workplace , can you imagine the fights. I’m glad arenanet farts on these ideas. By actually paying attention to player performance in dungeons etc you get a far Beter idea of what is going wrong than mearly saying your DPS is kitten.

What iv learned is server resets do not reset DR’s nodes chests or w/e else. And secondly with dungeons there is the path DR yes but also there is a speed clear DR if you finish any path in any to quikly you will hit the speed clear DR , I do believe you have to do 2 or 3 in under 20 mins each to hit this ,don’t quote me on it but i think that’s the speed clear formula.
So for a well organised group like yourself I’m positive your hitting the speedclear DR and not the path DR. Hope this helps

BabelFish.7234:

What’s with all this talk about blaming Anet? No one has said anything of the sort…

have you read the OP ?

Yep and even less reason to cry over silly mistake on imaginary items then huh?

Ps I’m glad someone else see’s it my way runiir

If you make a mistake at work do you blame others or “suck it up”. Yes mistakes happen I don’t argue this ,I just don’t start pointing fingers when its my fault I simply learn from it. Same applies here

I agree , the only person to blame is YOU be more careful with your clicking we all learnt this with gw1 and no buyback option. As for you saying you know people that have been helped with yellow items I call BS on that arena net cannot and does not restore items at this stage. Simply learn from your mistake stop playing the blame game you’ll be a Beter gamer for it

Bad idea. It really an excuse to say I’m Beter than you.
The bosses etc don’t have visible health units so its pointless anyway.
It’s also fairly easy to tell if your doing more damage with current builds than older ones.
Plz keep gw2 free of self absorbed add-ons

Firstly I searched the forums and found nothing on this. I have on many occasions wanted to swap from glass cannon to support or tankier roles between dungeons and world pve,but when i want to do this of course I need to travel to a major city and spend silver and time re-allocating trait points a massive inconvenience.

Is there any harm in allowing players to have 2 set trait builds to swap between? You didn’t have a problem with it in gw1 why would you in gw2?
I don’t even mind paying silver every swap

You did say in gw2 you can build your character and play the way you want to, what you didn’t say is it’ll be a b**** to swap between your favorites

Peoples thoughts?

Firstly I’m unsure if this is my phone or the forums nether the less when I create a topic and hit “create topic” or “edit” it takes me out of the internet completely and back to my mainscreen . It does create or edit the topic or post but I need to get back to this site and log back in.

My phone is a HTC sensation

I can confirm this bug

So an idea, have a report tally for individuals for a report count,when it gets to ten your inventory gets filled with items such as “a lump of brown stuff” soulbound and worth 0 copper and looting / gaining money disabled , when a bot attempts to sell an item a window pops with a randomly generated code to be entered ,if correct items dissapear and normal play resumes. Park a gm at the nearest merchant and watch the bots Que up. This gives power to human players. If they cotton on change the name of the item deposited and reapeat . Set the whole thing to a 12 hour timer so people can’t be trolled by it. This may seem stupid but its going to waste a lot of time for botters keep DE’s free of bots and somewhat keep the economy stable whilst giving players a rewarding reason to report bots

Add me ingame regular TA runs

same thing to be really frustrating , use the tank turn the barrel bugs out pushes me out of tank. FIX IT

There has been numerous threads about this so plz search them…
It’s guardians line of warding skill

For arguments sake you could farm anywhere on any map , it makes ZERO difference if you farm the elementals it does not affect in any way the numbers who are going to kill jawmag himself as they could just be farming somewhere else. Egging people on is not ok but you don’t jump off a cliff when someone saiz to so just ignore them. In no way is it an exploit and you should be very cautious about reporting to anet about silly things from experience you might find the hammer swings at you instead, and I will this because reporting for that is obsurd.

TA gear is riddled with this problem . Currently cannot use black.

Yep I agree with you. I imagined a lot of these problems would involve skipping kholer but clearly not. I hope they compensate your loss

Just don’t skip kholer. Do the dungeon as intended.sigh

I’m a warrior. I pull when they leap use shield block when that ends use endure pain when that ends use “fear me” when that cc ends use shield bash when that ends use dodge. Just hope your team has killed it by then. It’s really not hard to counter its if you get it wrong you’ll die.

Ps. Can you imagine having their build and damage in pvp … Would be so fun

Groups of bots get bigger not smaller BIGGER.

Annoying bugs on the forums go ignored since release

They put in anti farms that punish ppl playing the game for real

I feel the same as you I see mass groups of bots and my fun is instantly halved more bots are arriving than are getting banned.

ANet there is a cancer in your game get rid of it before it dies.

And seriously listen to your players stop fixing wvw and fix some of the burning problems that ppl are begging you to fix. Or just turn off the servers due to undermining the ppl who have funded this game for you.
