I can’t believe some of these comments. It’s allowed by Anet people. Whether you like it or not is irrelevant. Of all the things to get worked up about this should not be one of them.
What? I have had no issues other than occasional voices. I thought they fixed most of the problems people were having?
Because those that are having problems are going to be louder than those of us with only minor issues. I am willing to bet that for most players the update was fine. All I have had go wrong is random voices coming from no where and that is easily ignored.
Do you play a necro in game or just on the forums, lol.
This is so true. Not having the trinity removes a lot of player issues from the game.
I know if they had a sale I would pick up the 6 I need so I hope they do.
I am left handed and I think this is silly. Of all the improvements they could add to the game this is very unnecessary. No mmo has this option so I think I can safely say it will never happen. Which is good because it would be a waste of time and resources.
I never understood why people get upset over group content in an mmo. How is this a surprise? Is it realistic for one player to take on an army and a ginormous undead dragon?
Please check before you post We don’t need multiple threads about the same thing on the front page.
I was hoping, it meant cutting down on the annoyingly long load times. it takes me almost 5 mins to log in.
That sounds like an issue on your end, not ArenaNets.
So if you get it the way you want then nothing better can ever be released by Anet because it wouldn’t be fair to everyone that bought the previous version.
Yes, it is not only a vertical progress, but a vertical progress on a gemstore item. It should not exist.
It’s good that you understood the core of my argument.Just buy it for the love of god. It’s like $20.00 in gems with some left over.
Why would i pay Anet money for creating something that i believe has a negative impact on the game?
Exactly how does the watchwork pickaxe have a negative impact on the game?
It is actually a very rewarding map.
I am sure you will be able to get it next Wintersday. I didn’t play over the holidays either so I see nothing wrong with having to wait to get it. Why should I be able to get something that was during an event once the event is over?
Depends on what though, in pvp my vote is guardians as they’re the easiest to counter due to their lack of options on damage oriented weapons being limited to only the greatsword.
pve instances, necro they provide nothing but low damage.
solo content, ele but thats me they take 3 times the work as every other class
world bosses, thieves they die so fast and have no real ranged option.
Necro’s are one of the few classes that can strip boons. So they can offer something to PVE instances.
I tried to exchange my molten pick for a watchwork pick. My ticket was refused. When I bought the molten pick, there was no hint that they’d release an improved version at the same price point.
What’s more, people weren’t sure at that point how good the infinite thing really is, and did ask if the infinite pick (singular, as there was only one at this point) will always remain the “top tier” of harvesting equipment, or if there will ever come a point when better picks will be released. The answer was, that they don’t have to worry about ever replacing it. Lot of people made a purchase trusting Anet on that point. That trust turned out to be misplaced.
Yep. This is it exactly. There have been a few gemstore shenanigans that are off-putting, and this one is the one that burned me the most, personally.
This is one of the silliest arguments I have ever heard on these forums. So if you get it the way you want then nothing better can ever be released by Anet because it wouldn’t be fair to everyone that bought the previous version. Seems like some people think they are entitled to things. Just buy it for the love of god. It’s like $20.00 in gems with some left over.
I tried to exchange my molten pick for a watchwork pick. My ticket was refused. When I bought the molten pick, there was no hint that they’d release an improved version at the same price point. I try not to think about it too much, because it’s infuriating. I’d pay 200 gems to be able to switch to the watchwork pick, but apparently good will isn’t something anet is interested in fostering.
They are running a business. And it is not good business to give away premium items for free. All you people crying over the watchwork pickaxe look ridiculous. Spend the $20.00 for the gems. You are helping support the game which is a good thing. Sorry if I sound harsh but all these “gimme gimme I am entitled” threads lately are getting annoying.
Why for the love of God would you continue a post that was going no where? Please make it stop.
I don’t understand if you play the game and have a max level character why you wouldn’t buy the expansion. $40 is really not that much. Especially considering all that comes with it.
Thank you all for the responses. It looks like I have some thinking to do. But it is good that I have so many options.
I just recently returned to the game after a long break and have been playing my 80 necro minion master a lot. I was curious what is considered a good rune to put on all 6 of my armor pieces. I know some are a lot better than others. Thank you for the info.
That sucks. Maybe post in the technical forums. And i am so glad we don’t use that cell phone style system for the internet in the US.
Title says it all, nothing further needs to be said ..
Only if you want people to know what you are talking about.
Yeah, because capes are good reason to play or not play an mmo. And i hope English is not your first language.
Never going to happen. I like it the way it is. It makes it different than all those cookie cutter mmo’s out there.
Join a guild?

Just start playing again. That’s what I did after more than a year break. It’s not like this is a heavy PvP game. Most builds are viable however zerker is the current meta build.
A lot of people on this thread have the wrong definition of grind. They think if some is not handed to them and they have to work for it than it’s grindy. Grind refers to leveling therefore all these other things such as ascended gear and legendaries are not grindy because you do not need then. It doesn’t matter how many times you say it. It still doesn’t change what grind is.
Please no.

I don’t.

I don’t get all the hate. It takes like a week to get level 20 and that’s taking your time and being a completionist. A little patience would have served you and your friend well. It is a great game.
You should be more focused on leveling. You will get more options just by playing the game.
There are always players in Silverwastes and Drytop.

That’s interesting, because I would of thought the ones wearing the tinfoil hats and spouting conspiracies are the ones who refuse to recognize that modern day industries (whether corporate or political) are constantly using hype, lies (wordplay/double speak), secrecy, manipulation (hype, repetition) and delusion (you need this product to feel happy, accepted and secure in life) to sell their products.
Unfortunately this is just modern day practices and how the world works, so it’s practically a given that it will be here too in one way or another…
Actually sounds more like politicians to me than CEO/COO. But then again it’s the billionaires in the corporate world who control the politicians now so guess you are right.
I know right. How dare these evil corporations make a profit. How dare they try to market their product and make money. /sarcasm
If you don’t like the way a company does business then don’t buy their product. Most of us don’t care to hear all the anti capitalist bs.
This game has always been buy to play. I don’t get all the alarmist tin foil hat comments. There is plenty of content in the “vanilla” GW2. If you want more you pay. And if you are playing this game I don’t understand why you wouldn’t buy HoT.
The watchwork pickaxe was just on sale. I grabbed one last week for 1000 gems.
A mini weeping angel that only moves when your back is turned.
Go outside?

I don’t understand how someone who has been playing for a week has nothing to do. Also I understand that this is a game where you can play however you want but if you leveled to 80 in a week it is my opinion that you are doing yourself and the game a great disservice.
Oh, laptop. They are a pain to upgrade. I am old school and only game on a desktop. I don’t even own a laptop.
Double your RAM to 8 for starters.
Does not need to be fixed. Working as intended.
i wish you the only thing you could do with them is donate them to noobs
i need skill points
Spend some time in Silverwastes and you will get plenty of skillpoints.
Can we consolidate these threads please? It’s getting a little ridiculous.
I want a mini weeping angel that only moves when your back is turned.
More likely several months.
I bought gems twice in the last two weeks and had no issues. Not sure why some people are running into problems.
Never going to happen as Anet has said themselves many times. Leveling in this game is fun and can be fast if you play that way. I would just make a new toon with the race you want.
Maybe the next big release is how they are going to fix silk, charged Lodestones, silver doubloons, etc … for all the people not willing to earn them.
They don’t need to be fixed because there is nothing wrong with them. It’s all about supply and demand. Those are popular items used in popular recipes.
Terrible idea. Good thing it will never happen.
