8/10 I got upset until I read your username.
Watch the video, give your thoughts.
I think you guys have too much time on your hands.
If people are doing this it is causing me 0 discomfort.
We are aware of this and are taking steps to mitigate this type of play.
Fix your pvp rank/reward system first.
Hopefully there will be more skills that will apply revealed in the future. Sic Em, even with the change, is still something I would think twice about taking.
Im glad Anet is doing something to get rid of farming which gives an unfair advantage to people with too much free time in their hands and give people like us who have jobs a chance to catch up in the little time we can afford to put into the game.
8/10
I almost thought you were serious.
Why do you think Riot Games is so friggin successful
Graves beach skin? At least thats what made me play the game. I’d be willing to forgive a lot for better costumes.

Drastically sub par rewards.
Habib was the WvW lead until he “left to pursue other projects”.
RIP in peace Josh. I’ll remember you as fondly as I do Habib Loew and Robert Houdra.
Is it too hard? Respect the awesome work

It’s not fun (for me). I got burnt out after getting all the baubles/secret rooms in 2-1 and I didn’t to go back. Aside from being too large and having too many new mechanics/world it was also very very long, but these are things I’m sure you’ve heard many many times by now.
I’ll finish the achievements, because I am a kitten and I can’t stand having only some completed, but I do so with a grudge, not because it was fun.
Furthermore making everything account bound is completely 100% lame. In SAB 1 I would go and do it multiple times a day on all my characters, it was fun and I got rewarded for it, now it seems like a chore to bring out a single character.
I’ll give world 3 a shot whenever that comes out since Josh seems like the kind of person that learns from his mistakes. (Sorry you got your forum privileges revoked Josh, your honesty and straightforwardness is far too much for anet to handle)
Also, we want to be more transparent with balance, so we’re going to be posting a list of the things that we’re working on now, so that you guys can see balance changes earlier than usual.
I’ll post that in a bit, hopefully today.
That’s wonderful and I won’t hold it against you if you end up talking alot and saying nothing par the course but, if instead of making statements like
We’re going to reduce the rangers passive survavbility
(How? Why? )
and isntead say things like
We’re going to reduce the healing co-efficient on Signet of the Wild by x% (We’re not sure yet), and reduce the duration of regeneration applied from skills and traits by 1 second or so.
I still don’t understand why people are having such a cry about warriors. If it’s not zerker stance and conditions it’s the mace/hammer stuns. I can only imagine it being that warriors were 90% free kills before and now they can actually kill people.
I cannot touch their fluffy tail and I don’t want to be teased like that.
Also I think the races beliefs values and goals are trite and kittene and they need to be culled.
- Exclusive Mini!
- Better Rewards!
- New Mechanics!
- New Exclusive Skins!
wowit’snothing.jpg
More wings(clearly we dont have enough backpieces anet) and mini’s (completely useless).
As far the mechanics I think they will hold out at most for a week, maybe less, than either the crying about the increased difficulty/not getting rewards because I’m manning a cannon will grow to such massive proportions that anet will tone something down
or
Players will find the perfect way to circumvent these mechanics and return to spamming 1 (eg old Claw Of Jormag standing in the corner with range). People, like water, take the path of least resistance.
Correct me if I’m wrong here but the “new rewards” was just a chance at the aforementioned useless decorations and ascended weapons or was something else confirmed.
If they made Bosses stronger (more time to kill) without additional rewards (example: more ectos) then this update will fail, even if Bosses would appear “more interesting”.
Why? People have specifically asked for harder bosses for months. Its been one of the biggest shout outs to the devs. They drop ascended mats now too, so technically they have been given more rweards, but no extra work to obtain them. I can’t see how it could “fail”.
I’ve never asked for bosses to be harder. Please reference one of these threads in which the overall opinion is that bosses should be made harder.
So Zhaitahn is dead(I distinctly remember pushing 2) but Tequila is stronger?
I’m glad they’ve decided to completely ignore the Personal Story at this point.
I was incredibly disappointed when I looked at Moto’s stock. Nothing but skins. Last time he had practical items you could work for.
This will free up A LOT of time. Now I’ll just run it once/day instead of 8×. Thanks for giving me more time away from your alt unfriendly game Anet.
Its simple to understand once you accept that any company will focus resources on the fastest way to generate revenue. For GW2 that is most certainly not pvp. As such I have lowered my expectations properly, to nil.
Nope. 15char
How is giving up on Esports going to fix GW2? Giving up on their ‘way’ of going after Esports is what should be said here rather than giving up on it altogether.
Esports can be created without limiting everyone to one mode. Esports can be created if you just listen to the people who play the competitive game the most. If they just gave Necros that buff to deathshroud that they did instead of giving them burning and a megathon laser full of fears, then we wouldn’t have people leaving left right and centre.
Maybe they could move those resources to making pvp Fun or more rewarding or new game modes.
“Don’t make the mistake that ArenaNet is ignoring its PvP and WvW community, as that would be dumb and an Asura will take advantage of your mental weakness. “We want Guild Wars 2 to be the game people go to when they think of PvP,” Johanson said.
I thought this was sarcasm. Guess we wont be seeing any good PvP in 2013.
Mod jon_peters: you have to actively react to all the passive things going on
Mod jon_peters: so its still very reactionary and there is still a LOT of skill in spirit ranger
Hahaha. No seriously, this must have been sarcasm. No one can be in this much denial.
A couple weeks ago some guy tried to make a thread listing the undocumented changes from a patch on the general discussion page and his thread was promptly locked with a moderator comment telling him there are no conspiracies and to take off his tin foil hat
Well the mods are completely draconian so that doesn’t surprise me.
I thought the tequatl thing is a joke. Was that seriously the big special new info for PAX?
If a world boss requires more from me than standing at 1200 range and pushing 1 I’ll just hit it enough to get credit and afk. eg, Scarlets Invasion
Ok so chance at new teq exclusive ascended weaps and teq mini. What does chance mean? Chance as in percursor chance?
0.001% is still a chance.
If you don’t like it, don’t use it.

Your post is perfectly agreeable, except this part.
I don’t want to be forced to go at a snails pace. If i want to put the effort or time or gold into smashing through content like a flood through New Orleans than I want the game to let me do that. Let me hold my phallus enhancing +20 sword of grinding high while others struggle. Not everyone wants to ride the care bear express to equality ville.
Achieving something at the same time as everyone else is no more of an achievement than having my hand held and crossing the street. I’m a big boy now anet, I can decide how fast I want to get something without you prescribing how much fun I should be having and when.
Fair enough. Let me ask you this. Do you think you should get an edge over everyone else because you have more gold to spend or more time to put towards your Ascended items? Do you feel proud of defeating someone even though you had an unfair advantage?
The introduction of Ascended gear, as controversial as it already is, necessitates the need for this so called time gating. Beyond just the time required to get an Ascended piece ,there’s also the staggered release of Ascended items. This was completely intentional. If ArenaNet decided to release all Ascended items at once then the players with too much time and/or gold on their hands would likely dominate both PvE and WvW. Sure, they won’t be keeping this edge indefinitely but the fact that they can at all will upset the balance of the game.
Yes and yes, though the pride is also mixed with laughter at their expense.
I understand completely why anet is doing this, of course. As you say the rich players would roll in in new gear and completely wreck all but the most skilled players leading to new players having a bad experience, casuals having a cry about how O/P the new gear is and so on. Clearly anet believes that the revenue they would lose doing this would be more in the long run than say, the revenue they could obtain from the whales that would outright buy gems to convert to gold to buy all the things needed to get their hands on an ascended weapon.
But those types of calculations are better left to John Smith.

To the people who will be responding to this, I’d like to ask you in advance to take a moment to think about exactly what is going on here, and exactly what you want to accomplish what your post.

First I would make a very rude post, calling all the people that approved such a change inept. Than I would switch to my sigil of Force.

You can bet your sweet new set of worthless celestial gear that they will put time gating in their time gating. After all, they know how much we all love time gating.
Why this is even being considered period only shows how out of touch Anet is with their own game and the limitations of classes/weapon sets.
Anet has never been in touch with their own game.
Why, two handed weapons still only have ONE sigil slot after a whole year due to “technical limitations” (read:laziness)
Clearly we scared Allie off when her last off hand sarcastic remark was met with 2.5 pages of people telling her how wrong she was.
I’m sure they’re doing just fine financially.
Whales and stupids keep buying RNG boxes after all.
WvW is now good!
Enjoy PvE’s level of rewards!
Gold Sink costs removed from Badge Vendors!
All ascended trinkets and backpieces added to Badge Vendors!
Skills split between PvE and WvW!
Rebalancing skills for three separate modes is way too much work
It’s like I’m really in the PvP forums reading something from Allie
Programmer/Developer Laziness
The current game isn’t worth a subscription and the gemstore is kitten.
They could easily remedy both of these, but they won’t, because people keep buying keys and other trash. Thank you stupid people for keeping NCsoft thinking this is a viable source of income and worth all the recurring costs.
And here I thought they would add contracts back into chests. Guess I get to spend my money on other games.
Completely worthless trash.
Would have preferred a 20 skill point consumable and random exotic mini’s made for birthdays ala GW1
How bout you don’t look at it and leave everyone else to their enjoyment.
So she touched an asura claptrap and went from a standard obnoxious sylvari to a Villian Sue rebellious special snow flake sylvari. Cool story bro.
If you were just going to regurgitate this nonsense on the website why couldn’t you do so using the actual game, than your playerbase might care.
They’re faffing about in Limbo since all the decent writers left Anet long ago. Any new dragons will be held back til the expansion. The one touted in the investor call, aka the only place anet can’t tell lies since they’re reporting to their boss Ncsoft.
So what’s the most challenging aspect of this game, pve-wise? Liadri?
Staying interested in the game
A-yup.
Farens stupidity gets him into mildly interesting situations. I’d tune in bi-weekly to catch his misadventures and misogyny.
If it were possible I would bear one of his children to show my thanks for this 2.5kg.
Never again will I be forced to partake in shallow boring content in hopes of the most meagre of scraps.
RIP in peace Deadeye, gone but not forgotten.
1) Rewards
2) New Modes
3) Rewards
4) Rewards
5) Good Rewards, not kitten like 2 dyes and 5 silver per rank
It’s living in the same sense as a pimple or other pustule is alive. Burrowing deep withing the recesses of your skin, absorbing your essential oils, only to burst forth every two weeks in an explosion of pus, rotting flesh and a deep sense of regret.
I want more elder dragon content
Stop being so entitled and enjoy the zany wacky xD so Randum antics of Rita Repulsa Scarlet Briar, because it’s all you’re going to get.
