What Anet have shown in 1 year of game…is that they care only about the gemstore. Guys, open your eyes, this is not the same Anet that made GW1, they have not the same intentions. They don’t want to create an epic world, but thwy want a business world. And don’t think that im an hater or that i’m happy about this; i’m very sad about this but this is the reality. I play GW1 for 5+ years, i waited GW2 excited…but they lose the opportunity to make a great game, because the care more about the money than the quality; and they will never change their position.
I’ve honestly always seen “lifetime accounts” has a fisher’s bait and the people buying into it as the fish. With life time things such as this, you assume a few things.
1. You’ll be playing long enough to make it worth it
2. The game will live long enough for it to be worth it
Those two alone are honestly very large assumptions that are based on two extremely large unknowns.
I prefer map completion to be character based for 2 reasons:
1. The rewards for finishing a map. I’ve gotten black lion keys, make over kits, trans crystals, level 71-80 exotics etc. I would lose out on all of this if the maps were account based.
2. Map completion contributes a massive amount to leveling, and is part of the reason leveling in this game is so fast. Again, if maps were account based you’d only make leveling alts more and more difficult.
I think the key difference is in the style of combat.
Whereas GW was about countering their skills (meaning that if you had a certain build for certain content, you could do it quite easily), GW2 is more movement oriented and reflex based, therefore AI would have to be based around this style of combat, and not simply through appropriate skill usage.
Now, if they improved mobs by:
Giving them the tools players have (level appropriate meta trait setups that are random on spawn, utility skills, weapon swap with appropriate sigils and runes, condition removal / giving conditions to players, a downed state where they can revive each other)
Recognize the players skill usage in order to counter (dodge, interrupt, block) as opposed to doing these as set HP points (bandits currently use dodge, so it can be done)
Allowing them to recognize and use combo fields and finishers, as well as tactics such as flanking.
Patrolling maps in packs and group compositions
I feel combat mechanics would be greatly improved.
Unfortunately, this would probably be too much of an undertaking. Heck, it might even be impossible with the current technology.
I imagine the technology is there to get it all working to a degree…….the question is, is enough of it there to really make it worth it?
I bet 99.99% of those Asian cultures would not have been bothered at all…
Just like 99.99% of us in western countries don’t care about mixed cultures…
Actually, the older generations of some of the Asian countries still harbor a lot of……negative opinions for each other. Of course to a degree this bleeds into the younger generation as a result.
That being said, Cantha was not the most positive of representations from what I remember……so I can’t exactly blame them.
I’ll be honest, I’ve never understood complaints about lore/immersion breaking when we have the Asura who are basically the result of giving the great scientific minds in history access to magic.
Not to mention when we’re able into battle wearing stuff like this
I’m…. not exactly sure what this has to do with GuildWars2…
It all reads very tangentially focused at best, and coincidentally looks completely based on “feel” and subjectiveness
like i said keep it thoughtful and meaningful, adding good vocabulary doesnt give your thoughts any meaning.
If you expect to be taken seriously, yes it absolutely gives your thoughts meaning.
no it doesnt, if you would have taken at least college writing you would understand that a bunch of sentences with good vocabulary isnt a meaningful one and its looked down upon. a lot of people mask their lack of thought with good vocab. dont expect me to sit here and give proper grammar and sentence structure, but at least u can see that what i say has thought and meaning into it. unlike….everything i been reading. could u guys stay on the subject please?
So you are saying that your professors allowed you to pass using things such as “b4”?
They will need to add entire maps for the areas to add in the other dragons, so they will most likely only be added with expansions.
Jormag is further up in the Shiverpeaks
Primordus is underground
Kralka-whathisname is in the Crystal Desert
And “Bubbles” controls the oceans so he will most likely come with the Elona (or hopefully Cantha? Cmon devs, pretty please?) expansion.
There will be no expansions, which leads me to believe there will be no dragons.
Honest question, do you people read what you type and actually think your logic through?
/sad here as well. This kind of thing is to me a waste of time. I would rather see less gauntlets / shoulder pieces / helmets and see more full armor sets. Individual pieces mix and match worse than in the original Guild Wars.
I beg to differ
(Not my best screen shot, just took it really quick)
Does it matter how high one’s personal achievement points are at? So long as you have enough to get what you want, does the number matter?
Apparently it does. If people care about the personal AP it’s their choice and their way of playing this game. Just because you don’t care doesn’t mean everyone else shouldn’t either.
At the same time, many of us like being able to easily increase our AP, why should we be punished because someone wants to keep their’s as close to the top as possible?
Ranger would be easiest due to longbow advantage + pet……..but I’d suggest guardian, able to do just as well and should you ever want to do anything else in the game, Guardian is good for it all.
I hope the “new armor” described is really a new full armor set, not just new shoulder pads or new gloves. Those never fit properly with the great majority of armor sets currently in the game.
The screen shot on the event page of what I ASSUME is the radiant set looks to include gloves, shoulders and a helm. It is possible there is more to the set but they just did not want to show it all, but I guess we’ll see soon enough.
That being said, I already have an idea for a possible fit for my guardian even if it does only include those 3 pieces.
This is total BS … this is it, the devs and Anet have screwed us over yet again … I’m quitting this game and going back to WoW …. this is the last straw … and what about the Ranger shortbow and Warriors in PvP, and what about this and that … and where is the new stat based gear for us “pro” players … and what about my mom, she plays too … and how about …
Without expansions….does that mean we won’t get new classes or skills? My god the skills are getting really old by now. Especially when many classes have weapons that they all avoid.
It helps to read the article
A Looking For Group tool will be “slipped” into a Living World update when it’s ready, and something as significant as a new character profession could too – an example he used with a heavy “not that we’re talking about this” caveat.
Of course that can be taken two ways, that they are not yet talking about it or that they are and are technically not allowed to talk to the press about it.
Wow, every post argueing in favor of portals in this thread is being posted by mesmers. Those mesmers are immediately and vociferously attacking anyone who posts in support of my OP. I think this is very telling. I think that you know that portals are breaking the game and trivializing content. I think you know that you are wrong. I think that is why you are so aggressive. I think you just want to have your liscence to steal at any cost.
I main a guardian, support portals 100% and now I am convinced you are trolling
They did this for female norn GS months ago. I used to be stuck with the pansy as hell human female animations, then it suddenly got changed to proper female GS swings
This is the only MMO where I haven’t logged on in almost a week now (due to lag and time problems) and I don’t feel guilty about it whatsoever. This is the only MMO where I’m not forced to play to “keep up with the Joneses”. And this is the only MMO that has quality content that I don’t have to keep paying for on a regular basis. These are why I like gw2.
Yeah, I took about…I want to say a month or 2 break from GW2 because I was busy at the time.
Came back, found out I was in no way behind on anything.
Best game ever is an overstatement (Arkham City is my best game ever) but yes, as far as MMOs the only one that I hold to the same level of enjoyment is GW1
Very excited for this and can’t wait to see what sort of skins we’ll get.
Please no debbie downer posts like “Bet they’re skins we’ve already got” or “great now i have to farm 10k chieve points to get stuff i should be able to buy.”
Based off the page, those screens some to be of some of the rewards. So it is safe to assume at least some of them if not all will be entirely new skins.
Who knows, maybe this is how we’ll get the sky pirate weapons.
lol, why should they create such a thing like it… btw are there any mounts available, like WoW?
i mean flying mounts or something anything possible like these things and if yes how to get it, i thought i readed somewhere here on the forums that there were mounts but only at the same speed like the walking or running speed, but still wondering for the flying types?
anything possible?
No mounts, design choice and way points are designed to take their place (and are better in my opinion anyways)
As for racials, the racials are designed to add flavor to your race. Most have niche uses, but they are designed to ONLY be good in those niche cases so that one race does not have the advantage over another for any class.
Also just a heads up, if you come here looking for WoW, you should go back to WoW. Not trying to be rude, but that’s the truth of it.
