Guild Wars 2

I average about 1 every 2.6

I guess I’m lucky like that because I’m really liking the amount I’m getting.

ReverantSpark.7309:

Yeah, granted, I did forget the IMO part…
But still, all that work just for a skin?… Seems ridiculous. Even if it was just a slight boost in stats, then it would seem worth it… imo.
Aside from legendaries, I cant fault the game. I think its epic. I’ll just have to pass on legendaries I guess then.
And Im not one of those players that “throw money at the screen” lol.

And as for my designs, the weapon example I gave is a pretty poor example of what I can do to be honest. But like I said, I dont have any of my other works anymore, and Im not prepared to waste my time doing more designs if they arent interested.

Well, I think I’ll just stop making suggestions. It seems like a pointless effort. Legendaries are what they are, and they will probably stay that way. I’ll just keep my ideas to myself.

You will get to a point where you have everything you want and gold just keeps racking up. If not, does it matter? no it doesn’t, it’s a skin for those who want it. ^^

Complete jumping puzzles? sPvP? Crafting? I don’t want to be forced to do something I don’t want to do. It’s fine the way it is.

GW2 is about getting skins, not getting items that make you more powerful then the next guy. It’s a fairer system. Besides, I have a legendary, what else am I going to spend my gold on? Nice sword design though.

Doesn’t really make sense, the karma you get should be on the character that earned the karma.

Latinkuro.9420:

crossbow for ranger, thief and warrior makes sense but not for guardian sorry they are already insanely powerful giving them a full range weapon is totally out of the question.

This, if anything it should be those three. Definitely wouldn’t make sense on a guardian.

The class is just not good at anything.

Range? No.
Mobility? Not even close.

Hopefully fixable on the next big patch.

Arekai.5698:

Guys there’s really nothing wrong with Ranger! I swear!

^—- Number 2, Number 2, Number 2 and he’s down, LOL.

Moving on, I think they’ll give a lot of needed improvements which will make me happy, but it’ll be accompanied by nerfs which will make me sad. Ultimately I’ll be thankful for even a nerf at this point.

I like all of these ideas, but specially preview items on TP, player/guild housing.

NinjaEd.3946:

+1. Call me crazy, but legendaries are too easy to get. Someone either does it the right way and gathers all the materials or someone if they have the funds and wana be lazy, can actually buy every single material and essentially buy a “Legendary”. The way it is now gives me no motivation to make one. I wana have an adventure with some story telling to get my end-game pieces not grind it out.

I assume you have one then since it’s so easy to get?

Moving on … I have no real problems with legendaries and how to get them, but I would have liked a less, grindy approach since everything you need is pretty much a grind in itself.

Well I’m not saying I know nor is this the truth. But I believe if it is removed(although I don’t think it will be) you wont get explorer gift again, it was a one time character thing.

Moving on, I doubt it will fade away, it maybe increased for those who haven’t done it before.

From reading most guild leaders replies on this thread, it just proves guild leaders are egotistical and sorry, It’s the truth. If I was to join a guild, they are the guild for me, I wont go elsewhere, I wont join elsewhere and quite frankly, if I where to, I honestly believe both guild leaders should kick me and I wouldn’t blame them. If someone is the opposite to me, great, kick them, because it shows loyalty. A good guild will be able to keep those loyal players, if not, they aren’t loyal.

I expected people saying GW2 is dying earlier tbh. But it’s not, 1 week is fine. ^-^

Games need challenges, else they’ll get old sooner then later.

Except the only challenge for the per-cursors is the challenge to get gold.

Give me an epic quest where I got to craft my own pre-cursor by gathering rare materials from Champion mobs / Meta Events and then take them materials into the volcano at Mount Maelstrom to forge it, then quench it in the mystical iceberg at Frostgorge Sound.

Much more of a challenge that trying to gather gold, IMHO.

If so, you should have no problem getting the gold right? … yeah no, that’s not exactly right. But even then, it wouldn’t take gold to do any of that, it’d take effort. May as well refund everyone who has ever bought a legendary, no?

I hate to say it, but when I group up with someone not as fast as I when doing something, I get stressed and they get the stressed attitude, which is not fair on both of us. But this isn’t always the case, but if I can get something done solo, I’ll do it myself.

I really, really like WvW and I’m collecting the badges for the set – so I may actually buy the set to try it out too.

I figured this is a must … so I agree.

If so, refund the commanders gold.

Jericho.5940:

I’m guess what would happen if ANet putting a 500$ legendary precursor purchasable in gem store. All those “P2W blah blah blah” or “Anet being evil” would come.
The point is, there GOT to be something that is extremely HARD to get in this game. It’s already easy enough to get to the top stats what else does people expect? Pay nothing gain everything?

This. I have my legendary and I’m sick and tired of people wanting welfare precursors. After getting your ‘free’ precursor. “What?! 1 million karma plus? we need more karma jugs or I quit!”

Games need challenges, else they’ll get old sooner then later.

So you’re saying people who spent hundreds and hundreds of gold(like me) can literally get it for free via achievements and afking? sorry, but he’s exactly right.

Freelancer has interesting points, but he’s forgetting something when he talks about orange swords. – PvDoor much? I like his ideas, but ultimately there has to be something ELSE to fix this.

Sounds like a D3 monk. :-\

I have my legendary and it’s, just … tedious to say the least. :-/

Sounds like an elementalist, if they where to bring out something, I’d prefer it be unique.

Uglier leather gear then in GW2 and that’s a pretty big accomplishment.

Absolutely not, this would be unfair for WvW.

Why doesn’t ANet just GIVE everyone a free precursor, why not and one for their alts! yes! this is perf-no.

I have my legendary, I worked very, very hard for it. Instead of complaining about one part of the chain, which, isn’t even the hardest part of it. Start getting it if you really want it. If not, you’re only complaining because the RNG didn’t profit for you. -shrug-

It’s amusing seeing thief players actually stand up for a broken mechanic. You can literally stealth longer then you are not in stealth with the mechanics right now AND the rendering issue. Is this not broken? okay moving on. Name a good MMO that has a class that can perma stealth. It’s okay, I’ll be here for a while.

Oh neat, another super server, how lovely. Good luck anyway. ^-^

psirca.9452:

I have never got one tell from an enemy nor have I sent messages to them.
I don’t want that process to be easier.
Getting into a 3 minute argument about who did what isn’t going to get anything done faster in combat.

What good would names do but let people name and shame or make accusations. Sounds like drama I can avoid. I’m not going to win every battle and I won’t lose every one either but I don’t want to have to search the forum for the arguments I should be participating in related to my character or the jabs.

Maybe you have never been chosen to be chased?
I was chased in Warhammer by no less than 5 guilds.
They whispered me constantly with insults so intensely that my ignore list was always full of their rants because I couldn’t keep all their alts on ignore. They opened up a ventrilo server to rant about me and invited me. They went behind everything I posted in open chat and the forums insulting it. Every battle I joined with any of their people they blamed me for any loss but never complained when we won. They would still whisper nasty things just because they could.

Reason?
I played a damage and healer hybrid and they didn’t like that. They thought I should be healing only. That was the lone reason they invested so much time in stalking me and making it known. My screen was pink with tells within 1 minute of logging in, it started to disrupt my normal chat. These were in every other way complete strangers, it was only some of their other guildies that didn’t like what they were doing that told me it was 5 guilds that were allied doing it.

Even your own side can be puds, I don’t expect the enemy to be more gracious.

So far things are fine here. People don’t really push the barriers and go out of their way to antagonize. Works for me. I didn’t stop playing the game because of them but it certainly is an experience I remember as possible in games. You can’t ever guess someone’s commitment to be a kitten.

Although I’m pretty sure you’ve never played WAR much because hybrid builds where not that uncommon to begin with, you’ve just killed this thread before it even hit the ground. No one will want this after reading that, I know I don’t.

If badges came from taking things, I’d avoid PvP till I got my badges, trading = is boring.

They can actually do that. It’s abusing a very OP class.

If you want competitive results, 1 to 2 day WvW match ups, because it snow balls after that for most match ups. G_G

katanah.8431:

Zarth, if in doubt report them. We on TC will report our own if/when we see it. Anet can see if its exploit or whatever and fix the problem. If its the thief build that does infact need fixing you can aoe .. watch for numbers popping up and stay on it. Sorry you had this experience from TC, we like to be known for our fair and fun playstyle and do not in any way support cheaters.

Sadly he’s not doing anything wrong, this is Arena Nets problem, it’s tied in with the rendering issue that still lingers. If thiefs weren’t beloved they should hot fix a method where this is temporarily stopped because so many thiefs do it.

20 minutes? lol I’ve seen a mesmer hide for well over 3 hours in a keep.

EasymodeX.4062:

There are a lot of opinions on both sides of the orb buff discussion. You’re pretty delusional if you think you speak for everyone.

He never said anywhere he only wants to win, he only wants fairness. Winning isn’t a priority to some.

He obviously wants to win, because pre-change was already fair.

It’s the same as all the servers crying about old-HOD 24×7 map presence. If you don’t have the capacity to win, then you lose. Taking and holding orbs is a demonstration of capacity — whether that is sourced from raw skill, tactics, population, motivation. PPT is the exact same. Orbs are a result of server disparities, not a cause of them.

Hence, there is little difference and people will still be crying about domino WvW matchups 7 days from now.

The real change to game flow balance is going to be with supply. Supply is the currency of WvW, and it’s Nth tier scrubs that think that +50 stats makes them lose. Hopefully ANet will tune the flow of supply and toss Orbs back in for fun at the same time.

No, no it is not the same.

15% health/150 stats = over powered characters. Some people like to PvP in WvW and even capping camps is a struggle with the orbs, sorry, over, powered.

I always told my friends, orb bonuses are over powered but I never knew how over powered they where. Glass cannon builds actually had survivability, now it’s actually fair and I’m a lot less demoralized. Even if TC is losing badly, I still really enjoy WvW.

BG needing more – LOL.

Today showed the impact of the orbs, we saw red and blue both make pushed in EB, and blue took back a lot of their stuff in their border. Awesome last day to the match, I hope we can meet you again.

Oh, and EB was hilarious, I don’t know if anyone on either side was taking it all that seriously. Trebbing us as fought the Grub. UNDERHANDED TACTICS!

Good sir that wasnt the “orb removal” that was the Halloween event being over and nobody had anything left to do besides go to wvw.

From my point of view on TC, it was a combination of no orbs and the end of the Halloween event.

After the new build, it appeared to me some individuals on SoR had to adjust to the lack of +15% HP and +150 stats. This wasn’t everyone, but there were a fair number of over-extenders who went down in risky situations. This is something I hadn’t seen before orb removal.

With the return of our Halloween people we were closer to SoR in terms of raw numbers. (And it is also possible people on SoR are resting up for tomorrow). Add this to the lack of orbs, and you had a more equal playing field.

I’ll go as far to say they relied on them, I was doing it for a long time last night, before and after the build, could see how over powered the orbs where. Before everything was tanky, then after, very little people where.

And I’ve seen a lot of risky plays that ultimately would not plan out.

So you’re saying, we keep the orbs in game, just to lure out hackers? O-k, yeah that causes more problems then it solves.

I did world vs world before and after and I’ve never actually noticed how over powered the orbs where, I’m glad they’re gone, hopefully in the future WvW can be more, exciting with things to do, but this had to happen, sorry for those people who felt they are needed, because it’ll be much harder for you now. >:D!

Is this implemented now?

Uncontested Temple of Balthazaar on Sea of Sorrows ^^ as of ~9:50am EST 11/1/12

Interesting!

ShadowbaneX.6273:

The few times I’ve seen this event succeed, it involved taking out the Abomination and the other Vets & Champs, then focusing on the Priest. It also involved people taking utility skills that were stun breakers (to avoid being Fear’ed into the Banners) and people res’ing each other. This “if you’re dead, don’t expect a res, just WP & run back” is total BS.

If all you do is focus on the Priest, you’re gonna get beat down. Support each other, take out the adds, res downed people and you’ll get through it. You know…that’s kinda the way ANet designed the game.

There’s a difference between a downed player and a dead player. Reviving a player who is already dead is almost pointless. They’d get there faster if they ran and the people who where reviving wouldn’t be put in such a bad position and can do something, productive.

This is how you farm karma, hit a few mobs, run to the next event. Meanwhile you get gold(aka, max karma) even though you did almost nothing compared to the people who do the work. It’s lame, but ultimately It’s the most effective way to get it.

Any US uncontested temple of balthazars up?

Shrouded.6450:

Oh I’m not trying to discredit any of SOR’s accomplishment really.

Lol, you act as if this is an accomplishment. It was 1v1 all weekend, ET was absent. SOR has spawn camped pretty much all weekend, but does this matter? no. You learn to deal with it and it’s not nearly as bad as over powered orb bonuses. At the end of the day winning in this WvW rotation system isn’t anything to be proud of, It’s a game, lets move on, good luck to SOR next week.

Mmm… Is it still up?

And thiefs aren’t OP.

Even if orbs give what outmanned buff gives, because people will still strive to get them. Because at the moment orbs are just a nail in the coffin for bigger servers to abuse the system, take everything, and spawn camp the few people that actually do play till the end.

Is this fun or what?
