Guild Wars 2

I’m tired of them saying repeatedly that Vets and Champs have had their loot drop fixed and I kill a Champ and get absolutely nothing, not even trash trophies. THAT is what is kitten me off the most about all of this. Killed Jormag to get my now daily chest from him and got ALL Blues. Hurray!!!

Why not just allow smaller guilds to “guest” with a larger one so they can earn Commedations? Seems like a simple solution.

What kills me are all the "I want it NOW’ posts here. I’m in a large guild and we picked what we wanted to unlock first knowing full well that these new things are going to take time. The instant-gratification generation is really showing their stuff if this thread.

I think the Living Story is a let down. Part 2 was not fun, just annoying. The portals only showing up in one place per map and everyone just standing around camping them was tedious and uneventful. This should have been one part that scaled with the number of players present. The mobs died waaaay to quickly. No challenge at all. Should have had some Vets or Champs pop out at the end. Very very boring.

Now it is back to downloading……slowly about 300kbs

Connection error(s) detected. Retrying…

Same here.

Tried to play tonight and the GW loader says I need to download over 200k files. Is this normal? I have played since beta and this has not happened before. Downloading this much takes forever. Is there something wrong with my client?

I think they are saying that it will decrease the amount available on the TP therfore increasing its cost. Therefore those that parked and farmed it everyday have a stock pile of it to trickle on the market making lots of money, and those of us who ran there everyday and collected it and used it for our own crafting are the ones who will suffer.

Except all new recipes will require passion flowers and karka shells. 250 of each of course.

Gotta force people there somehow.

Yes. But then we have to slap them with DR if they try farming them for too long. Seriously, How is a player ever supposed to get 250 of anything if they cannot farm for it?

I think this is just a change in the visual cue from the sparkles coming off a corpse to a more visible chest. Sometimes I can’t see the sparkles due to the scenery of the terrain. This will help me find my good loot more readily without having to punch my F key while running back and forth over a battle ground. Sounds like a positive to me.

1. Fractal DC fix
2. Better loot drop rates from Veterans and Champions
3. Find ways to use all the neat, interesting locations in most of the maps (eg. Wizards Rest)
4. Hope that Ascended Gear does not trump what can already be crafted.
5. More exciting Dailies
6. Exploring all the new stuff with my Guildies.

some of the worst offender: The Dredge Areas in Shiverpeaks. Horrible, I could not get the heck out of that map fast enough. And the noise they make makes my skin crawl. (huuh huhh)

Malhor’s Leap
Straits of Devestation
Hrathi Highlands

I have a few questions

How do bots even work? If they target a specific location for a monster spawn, can’t you make the spawn more random in a grid location?

Why does Anet never seem to actively police their games with real people? Would it be so hard to have some staff be in the game and ban the bots? Yes there are lot of servers, but a few people could make a huge dent if they worked a couple servers a day. Especially when there are know locations. The rest could be communicated in-game by players directly to a GM. They didn’t do this in GW1 when you could stand in a town and see bots running by in a very specific pattern. Just never understood why there is no active policing. Hell, Pay me a few bucks an hour and I’ll do it.

I think that the majority of frustration with the DR system is that it may/may not be doing anything effectively, you can still go places directly in the game (ie; where Tequatl is) and see bots physically…with your own eyes…and they are there every day.

Why don’t they just go into the game, find the bots physically, and delete them. Then you can test a system like DR more vigorously before releasing it on the game.

It would be cool to have legendary armor to go with the weapons that we are now seeing. It could have effects like the following: ( I’ll leave it to your own imaginations what they could look like)
Dust
Fog
Smoke
Water
Fire
Ember
Wind
Star/ celestial
Earth
Rain
Lightening
Ice
Leaf

Any other effects you can think of?

I’m already on this server. Can you send me an invite to your guild? I would love to join a WvW active guild.

I think the Guardian needs better skins. I see them as the “knights in shining armor” class and the skins don’t fit it very well. I would like to see cloaks that cover the armor like the Crusaders had. Maybe some more feathers or banners on the helmets. I dunno , anything to make them more “knight” like. I would like to be able to tell what profession someone is just by the armor they wear.

These armor dont really have a consistent name for each pieces which may discourage players from buying them, but fret not because their appearances do matches perfectly.

I really think the armor and weapons should be named better. I have no idea what goes with what. Better naming as a “set of armor” would clear up a lot of confusion.

Map Completion is the way to go for Transmutation Stones. I have cleared several areas and have about 30 stones.
