Guild Wars 2

Maybe they just don’t want our suggestions, after all their game is clearly flawless.

It’s been 2 years and there’s still no search feature. I would not continue to hold your breath.

GW2 was not e-sports for the last 2 years. Surely it will be an e-sport this year.

The message is more important than the form, imo. For example: All is Vain https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/gf-left-me-coz-of-ladderboard/page/5#post3423997

No. It’s not. If you can’t be understood your message is meaningless. Much like that “420epicblazeitswagamoto” poem. The medium is the message.

I wanted to chime in and say that the quality of the cutscenes has greatly improved, and the dialogue this time around was the least excrement like to date. Please continue to improve.

That is some excellent commentary.

Learn to dodge.

John Corpening.9847:

Regarding gold rate, the rates chosen are based on what players can expect from average play in other areas of the game, not on farming rates … Some of you have correctly noted that time spent in PvP doesn’t contain many of the gold sinks that PvE players experience and this has been factored in.

Sounds like it wont be very much gold at all. What do you define as farming anyway? Running through the nonterrible dungeon paths for 10g/24 hours? Spamming all the temples and metas for 14 ectos/rares /24 hours? Or is it someone that runs randomly in a zone swinging a sword and getting 1.5s from events making 3g/day at most after selling all the trash

I’d like to know how low to set my expectations. Especially when I look at other vendors that have had a gold sink attached to them, ie Therm reagants.

Of the things players have sufggessted the only ones that I agree with are emotes. I would certainly grind and grind and grind for such a base feature.

On the other hand finishers, armors etc etc have been very lackluster, especially those trench coats in the medium armor department. I wouldn’t waste a copper or a second playing for those.

Guess those free PS4’s just wasn’t enough motivation.

How about going for quality over quantity.

It’s called lying. Do you see how that works?

Now shut up and buy gems.

We never said we couldn’t do it. We said we weren’t going to do it. There is a large difference between things that we decide to do for design reasons and thing that are technical constraints. This was the former and was never stated to be the latter.

Finally we get accound-bound WXP, thank you so much!

Anyway, I wonder now why do you change your mind now about this topic. We’ve been told several times that you were never going to change character-bound to account-bound and now, without any previous notice we get it :O

Giving away free accounts for PR stunts, multiple discounts on the box price of the game and now this?
The answer is desperation.

I do not like Scarlet Briar. Please take the massive amount of feedback you have been given in multiple threads and do a better job next time.

After no less than ten thousand cries of anguish from players, and devs vehemently protesting anything like this ever, you have finally caved in. Excellent. Progress. If we kick up an equally large fuss will you give us account bound dyes?

BobbyStein.2315:

collaborative spirit of the forums

Hahahaha. But seriously. The quicker you kill off scarlet the better. I’m sure you’ve gotten enough feedback to do a less awful job next time.

How truly awful. Perhaps they should look up the definition of the word Hoard.

This is even worse than all their other blunders combined into one. All my Christmases have come at once.

“You never feel like you’re grinding”

Hahahahaha. Hah.

Fafnir.5124:

no would mean no rewards cause they are so easy

By this logic difficult content would have excellent rewards, but we already know this has never been the case in GW2.

Brutal Arts.6307:

Wait, did we actually reach a conclusion in the server population imbalance thread or are we just pretending that never happened.

I’m serious here, if any statements were made from anet about adjusting that (in a way that’s not complete trash) please direct me to them.

i do not believe they said they would actually do anything. They really did not take the wvw cdi seriously at all it was a giant mess compared to the other 2 threads.

In that case perhaps the devs could start by, perhaps, pretending to humor players suggestions and make more of an effort to take part in this mockery of a discussion. At the very least they could come out and say “Your feedback is meaningless since we have no plans to adjust issue X as it is working as intended”

More grinding, more time gating, more pound 50 signs.

OmniPotentes.4817:

I guess it was the last time we heard from Dulfy.

Don’t even joke about this. Without her I’d never have gotten half of these obnoxious kill 10 rat achievements.

I want it to end in a QTE where we get to force Scarlets face against a grinder then toss her corpse out of a window.

She’ll probably deliver some long monologue about how great she is followed by a gimmicky fight followed by a chest filled with blues and greens.

I’ll settle for her just dying and staying dead.

Justin ODell.9517:

I believe the intent is this thread is to retrospect the Collaborative Development initiative. You’re suppose to include suggestions on how to improve that, not how to improve PvP.

Did you think the top 3 format was a good idea? Do you want to see more developer responses? Do you have a better idea on how community priorities can be polled? Do you think your suggestions were ignored? Do you think it was hard to draw attention to the very good ideas? Do you think a vocal minority dominated the discussion?

They probably want your feedback in the top 3 suggestions/ideas/concerns format like the original thread.

So it’s like a meeting about future meetings?

Where I work we call those wastes of time. How about moving down to the second most popular topic on each list.

Chris Whiteside.6102:

And the first round of CDI around Living World was extremely useful in this regard.

Yes, the LW one was good in some respects, devs actually acknowledged that they made several mistakes and would try to improve in their future story-telling, sometime in 2014. The PvP/WvW ones were trash.

Stop ignoring what you don’t like and answer the questions.

Wait, did we actually reach a conclusion in the server population imbalance thread or are we just pretending that never happened.

I’m serious here, if any statements were made from anet about adjusting that (in a way that’s not complete trash) please direct me to them.

There’s nothing to discuss that hasn’t already been said and ignored in multiple other threads. Are those issues going to magically resolve themselves if they’re pasted here?

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

We fixed a number of bugs and made lots of balance changes to existing fractals.

So the dredge clown car has been brought in line (read: drastically reduced in number) and the hp of the champs in uncategorized is now 1/10th of what it was before?

These were the reasons these fractals were trash and people rerolled.

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

Every time you finish a complete set of Fractals (3 Standard Fractals + 1 Boss) you will receive the daily reward, restricted by account, which is consistent with other dungeon rewards. Each 10 levels of Fractals has it’s own daily reward. So if you played level 1, 11, 21, and 31, you would receive four daily rewards.

But the dungeon reward chests are all kitten, aside from the asura Arah path.

Can you just come out and say

X gold & fragments for level 1-9
X gold & fragments for 11- 19
etc

Cries of shills aside, yes the trash in the gemshop is overpriced. Since people are buying it anet has no reason to lower the prices.

Erasmus.1624:

Living Story is finally gone! Yay! Here’s to a box expansion next year.

I would probably shout with happiness if something like that came to pass.

We learned scarlet is doing evil things because she’s evil. This is the entirety of her Scooby-Doo Villain character. Lysandre is a better villain and he’s genuinely aimed at children.

Option A
15Char

On the + side
Chat codes indicate precursor crafting is making progress and pvp rewards might be slightly less garbage in the near future
Acc bount per harvesting tools (Whether they determined this was a better way to milk money from the players or they got rid of that nexon thing masquerading as a human)

On the – side
Everything else.

The bonus chests appear under your world rank bar with the message “X Bonus Chests reamaning”

They’re the same trash chests you normally get on level up,blues and greens and a 0.000001 chance of something good.

1 mini
3 blues
2 greens

Let’s be fair, the rewards in WvW are kitten unless you’re running a non stop karma train. The people in charge of distributing rewards in this game have always done an awful job so, there is NO REASON to think that the season chest will have anything worthwhile in it regardless of what position the server finishes in.

Now if you play for fights or what not than good for you, you got what you came for.

clint.5681:

If rewards were such a big deal to you, you would have switched servers before the season started. If you are only playing in WvW just for the season awards then maybe thats not the game mode for you and you should slide on back to pve.

Except some of us have multiple personal guild banks so server switching ins’t a reasonable option.

My understanding was the models for them clashed completely with Charr.

So you’re saying the chests will stop being filled with worthless garbage in the very near future?

Axe is best

Clearly having a cry on the forums will solve whatever the problem is perceived to be.

Incidentally whats the gold/karma per hour for this?

Samhayn.2385:

You need to tine it to stop important attacks like warrior spam hammer CC.

Great joke, hammer is so slow and telegraphed blinds neuter it.

This game is already Ultra Casual, especially with the time gating that prevents the truly hardcore players from getting everything 5 minutes after release.

It simply can’t get anymore casual and still retain it’s population

War Mourner.5168:

The changes to chill of death, weakening shroud and banshee’s wail are all good Although about weakening shroud, I agree with others; 2s base weakness is rather low, since you’re having a joke if you thing people are going to be trying to max condi duration, shorter DS CD, and spamming DS as often as they can. You simply can’t do this and still be effective, it’s an outright waste of DS, although if the DS CD was based on when you entered DS, not left it, it would be a different matter…

Reanimator is just beating a dead horse – if you’re removing it/merging it into something else later great, but decreasing the CD makes it just as useless in 90% of the game.

If it’s instanced than I get to do organized runs.
If it’s a zerg I get to stand in the back and push 1.

Either way I get to enjoy a shower of worthless blues and greens.

Someone post the Esports gif already.

Blues and Greens with a 0.00001% chance of the new skins.

jazzllanna.1278:

It was a bit bittersweet. Anyone else sell a legendary and have mixed feelings about it? Something you would do as steady income if you have the skill points/karma? I doubt I would do it again but that amount of gold is so tempting!

I regret selling a bolt only because the price point went up a few hundred g the following week.

On the + side I made 3 more legendaries with that so I guess it all worked out.

It’s too much work. Trash half finished skin sets like these should be in game rewards not in the cash shop.

They released the release teaser page for the twelfth . Looks fairly average.

ToN instance: 50/50 chance of being good(molten facility) or kitten (canach)

Gas Mask Helm: Cool
Breather/Backpack: kitten
Minis: No functionality so nobody (except collectors) cares
TriChest: 90/10 split between being kitten (Blues and Greens, gee thanks Aetherized Chests in TA) and being karka queen good.

They still have 3 more patches to keep promises made regarding new legendaries and Fractals.

Oh wow, they couldn’t even give us the trash glove/shoulder skins as a reward, you have to buy them from the cash shop.
