Not again.

haha yeah I guess, dose that mean I missed the train, had nothing new to say?

All that has been said has been X a lot

That will probably come with the new rebuilt LA map, or at least that is my thoughts.

The known bug is that the vortex’s seem to stop spawning or spawn in the walls making it impossible to finish – still, look on the bright side we’ve just had a patch where ‘Some improperly placed shadows were removed from terrain.’ so I’m sure they’ll get round to sorting this too eventually.

Oh it’s not impossible it just takes 3 hours and 15 minutes of naked fighting to kill it with a rifle, you ask how I know this?

I know it is very frustrating but wouldn’t it have been quicker to restart the instance? and at least after the last patch you won’t be having to deal with those pesky improperly placed shadows

True, but I am stubborn and just wanted to see if I could do it. I was watching a movie at the time too and just kiting him around.

Yep need more info.

If I put something in my wardrobe IRL, I do not have to pay to wear it, I just grab it and do so. I want to see free skin changes some day. The cash is still going to come into the gem shop, probably even more so.

+1 for what happened to Livia.

OP you are raging and throwing out some junk that isn’t even true. The game is more enjoyable, not dying at all, and plays better than ever for me. There are other factors that could be involved here that you may need to consider.

Blah such grumpy gusses. We’ll jus attribute it to just pure dumb luck with AI then.

Not grumpy, just messing around. Hence the :P

Cuddy.6247:

I’m sure it was mentioned. I’m also sure it was probably disingenuous.

Possible. Though from my personal observations, it seems to be true at least to some extent. Or some people are just really lucky with some heroes

AI is AI, not different for different people, it is what it is. The different personalities for heroes thing is not factual, they are all the same. Let’s get the programmer on a lie detector test. :P

My engineer wants a wrench, a hammer, and a bazooka please!

Yes, yes, yes I agree with everything you’ve said. Anything helping to build a bridge between GW1 and 2 is a great thing and will only help to make everyone happy.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Ritualists and Dervishes, but don’t think it is likely.

I put my currency in my wallet, my wallet, my wallet, ‘cause that’s where it goes…

Name change contract in the gem store.

Are we looking at the GW2 logo?

Yes, you should unless you were too distracted by “something” else

Happy with a scrap, Quite happy with a complete ticket.

GW2 is going to be the new standard in the mmorpg genre imo.

lol what standard?

Cash shop.

This isn’t AA. Its better then WoW. Buy once and everything else is included. Expanding map/high pace ( good ) combat. Stop Q.Q and appreciate what you have. How many hr have you played? How much did it cost you? The cash shop thing is getting old and its just misinformation. You want something from BL? Ok farm a bit….. IRL OR the game GW2 lets you choose.

Appreciate what we have for what we paid? That’s all fine and dandy, but I’m ready to spend hundreds of dollars on expansions and new content. This is what lots of us expected when we spent the original $60 on the game, because part of playing a MMO is expansions and new content, and not just new lame story content. Many of us would be thrilled to pay a subscription fee if it came with regular new content as well.

HUGE NO on the sub fee.

Yes dungeon master and diving should have a table or something to help you keep track. Definitely gets my vote.

Where is all this havoc people keep talking about? Does it happen while I’m not playing?

Starting to think these posters are paid shills hired by Blizzard come to this forum to create imaginary havoc.

Nope some of us choose not to post but I haven’t logged in since the fiasco with the gem store conversion. It’s pretty much gone way way past the last straw at this point and if I had a dollar for every time they’ve used the “it’s too confusing” excuse for making really really bad decisions I’d be a millionaire by now.

I agree with what you’ve said, and was really disgusted by the gem store thing, enough to get a 3 day vacation :P I haven’t reached the point of leaving and not posting yet, but I do play far less.

I will admit I am looking forward to the new story episode. I hope it’s something worthwhile and people will like. The bad decisions/mistakes/policies lately are troubling though and I hope they see that and reverse course.

I’ve done world completion on multiple characters, and without fail it was always a pain in the yeah to complete the WVW part. Server tiers, and matchups strongly affect what you are able to do or not do. I finally completed 100% on my latest character by staying up til 3 AM one night and catching Stonemist castle being flipped to my server for all of 5 minutes or so.

I wholeheartedly support the toggle/passive/nonfighting roamer idea.

GuzziHero.2467:

CMM – would you like me to post my account login screens to prove I am a genuine 2-year-plus player?

Nah it’s all good, I was just thinking out loud, with my fingers of course. Maybe the new patch on Tuesday will have something that appeals to you, never know…

moooooooooo plop

I like the ticket scrap idea, it’s not too much and not a let down, seems just about right.

I agree, they are really, really bland and lackluster after the pvp gear stopped dropping.

No. Nope. uh uhh.

2 more cents: really really like the idea of The Underworld being implemented somehow and working together to do it, that was a blast in speed clears. Known mechanics, idea of loot, unforgiving, if all wipe you are done.

BilboBaggins.5620:

Let me start by saying I do not like “raid” content like WoW and Rift have and will never participate in them. I do have a suggestion though.

Unlike the fractals which introduced some gear grind and power creep, I believe raid rewards should be purely cosmetic. Should they be the coolest, most bad-* gear in the game? Probably… I just don’t want gear introduced that makes you feel like you HAVE to take part in this activity in order to have the best in slot items.

I know many of you will disagree and that’s fine. I also realize that all PvE activities can be performed with rares or exotics equipped, but this kind of gear progression leads to players with the gear finding the game to be progressively easier and asking for the difficulty to be raised.

I remember just a little power creep in GW1 leading to mob tweaks and lots of hair pulling (on my part) until it was dialed back down and hard mode introduced.

Pretty sure most are against the power creep, gear treadmill thing, and want to keep the raid a GW2 style raid (whatever that might be, we are formulating it as we discuss really)

I think it would just see you have Factions already linked and ignore the second addition of it, while still adding in the others, so you have the complete set.

MrWubzy.3587:

Well, that’s the thing, on NCSoft’s website it states that it adds a single access key for account creation, and that’s what’s bothering me, really. It’s making me think that I’d have to either make a new GW1 account and re-link or get a new GW2 account.

http://store.guildwars.com/store/gw/en_US/pd/productID.299594700

EDIT: That is, if I can re-link at all?

Your situation has been thought of and will work out like it should.

The Great Al.2546:

As a longtime player but by no means ‘hardcore’, I would hope that any instanced raiding implementation would also have a ‘normal’ mode. Otherwise, you guys will be putting out new instances/areas/mechanics/etc that only the top 10% (for example) will ever be able to experience. This would also help any raid-related releases generate excitement for all players, because even if you don’t have hours at a time to spend raiding, you could still somehow enjoy the content in a more relaxed way. (with obviously significantly reduced rewards).

Or potentially if some large scale events happened in the open world at a ‘decently hard’ difficulty, with the potential for guilds to create instanced ‘hard’ versions of those events.

No. Too much is already catered to casuals and new players. We want this to be confusing and difficult.

Yes, and you will get the confusing and difficult. I am asking for a separate version that is catered to the casual player that will have absolutely no negative impact on the real raiders. Think about regular vs hard mode in GW1. You can play hard mode and not even know that regular mode exists. Why would you be against everyone else being able to play a toned down (in terms of difficultly and reward) version?

The only reason I would be against it is more work for the team. Other than that, I don’t have a problem with it. Seems like double the work to me though, just saying.

SYPHA.9283:

The content thus far in s2 has been underwhelming. I’m still waiting for this quality thing all the fanbois and white knights keep bringing up.

I don’t consider myself either one, and have been pretty vocal about mistakes made and bad decisions.

However, I did enjoy LS1 for what it was, and I enjoy LS2 even more for the more robust storytelling and cutscenes. Just as any content creation takes time people need to be patient and let that happen. I am willing to take a wait and see approach. I have not been disappointed by content or the quality of it, and the focus of this latter part of LS2 digging into more GW lore I think is great. Sure there could be more content, but it takes time, and it should also be mentioned the new content that has been delivered is FREE.

Also, surely they have things they have been working on in the background and not talking about, it would be foolish not to.

2 more cents. I hate stacking. We need a boss that hates it more. I can see a boss that runs up to the stack and does a running, jumping super stomp, sends all stackers flying to their death if they are under 50% health (far please, like 1200) laughs maniacally while waving his finger like Dikembe Mutombo NO NO NO! That would be awesome.

A few thoughts:

I would like to see more GW influence as well. If you have watched the latest trailer and read the interview about it, you will notice they are definitely attempting to bring more GW lore into GW2. This is something I have been waiting for from day 1. I have to admit FINALLY a little of GW excitement in the trailer and the feeling that this IS the sequel to GW after all. In my opinion there needs to be WAY more of this.

I miss the days of looking at a map and finding the boss you need to kill to capture an elite skill, this was/is one of the best mechanics in a game and I am certain I am not alone in that feeling. Why was it scrapped? The only skills that have been added lately were pretty crappy and not only that COSTLY at 25 skill points.

Basically it is QQ, entitlement, I want this, my way, right now. It is amusing the posts around here demanding a dev answer them. If you don’t like the game why do you play it/post about it?

+1 to be separate from guild currency or mandatory guild activation.

What about a random effects each time the content is played. Example: sometimes fire, cold, lightning, poison attacks etc. so teams will not know what to expect and have to react on the fly. More and more intelligent interrupts by enemies. Unpredictable things in games are always fun to me.

My 2 cents is I would like to see difficult content. My favorites times in GW1 were doing The Deep, Urgoz Warren, Fissure of Woe, and the Underworld. Groups with more than 5 players FOR SURE.

Tired of the hand-holding content and for once would like to see something that caters to veterans combat-wise, and I want to see a boss that whips peoples _ _ _ . I am not talking about one shotting either, which I consider cheap, and do not like at all. Bosses desperately need new and different mechanics.

The AP requirements are completely ridiculous.

The sky is falling the sky is falling…. uhh no it isn’t.

GW1 equivalent is W/MO mending warrior QQ

ArchonWing.9480:

It is really sad to see this be such a blemish on such a nice halloween event. They will fix it, but I am definitely discouraged from the gem store atm.

This is how I feel, going to have a hard time opening my wallet again, until I see something substantial like new content outside of the LS, such as new playable race, profession, weapons, skills etc.

I wouldn’t hold my breath on that.

Ardenwolfe.8590:

Hope to God this means they’re working hardcore on the next chapter of Living Story.

I know I have been pretty negative lately especially with the whole gem store fiasco… HOWEVER I am a little excited about the LS2 final chapters after reading the interview over on tenton about it. I know it is their job to hype it but, I am still a fan and digging into lore and GW1 roots is something long time fans are needing. SO tired of the new player this and new player that crap!

Roadmap is greed, lackluster new content, and lack of communication.

Tristar.2687:

All customers can do in this particular case is: Stop purchasing Gems.

The only way to stop the greed.

Uninstalled 1 & 2. Still here because of time and money invested. Is this going to be the Titanic or we going to sail off into the sunset? The silence is deafening.

Still uninstalled by the way things are looking.
