Guild Wars 2

Star Wars – The Old Republic has been the only MMO I have played that has done underwater combat right. But in terms of realism underwater combat would be even more tedious if we had to deal with breathing too.

I disagree on this, it just brings elitism into GW2 and we already have some sort of elitism due to AR.

This was important had to setup a sale on the gem store for bags slots!!!!

I laughed at this, then checked and there was actually a new sale. -face palm-

But yeah, this has to stop.

1) So you’re saying WvW players who have no real interest in PvE should force themselves to do PvE for 2 weeks to get geared to be competitive because they cannot do that in WvW? …

They actually can get exotic gear from wvw with karma orr gear and/or turning in badges. It just takes longer.

Point was that it did not take “endless hours” in pve, only two weeks, and that includes levelling 0-80, which you could do in wvw, just takes longer. Compared to other games, this seems to be a laughably low amount of effort on your part.

Speaking of laughably low amount of effort, next time read the OP before commenting.

Thor.1756:

1) Rabid stats can start being earned at lvl 55 by farming TA. I stand by my claim that you can get full rabid gear, while levelling 0-80, in under two weeks through a combination of TA farm and Karma Orr gear.

2) Like I said, a can o wurms I’d rather not discuss. I don’t like that ascended gear even exists but Anet has to appease the pve scrubs whining about gear progression somehow.

The good news is you can earn it by spending less than 20mins a day completing dailies/monthlies, and Anet has indicated it will be acquirable through wvw eventually.

1) So you’re saying WvW players who have no real interest in PvE should force themselves to do PvE for 2 weeks to get geared to be competitive because they cannot do that in WvW? …

2) While I agree ascended gear shouldn’t be an issue for the most part, you said “Anet has indicated it will be acquirable through wvw eventually.” which sends chills down my spine because that is one of the main reasons a lot of people I know quit. They’re sick and tired of WvW being so counter productive. In what was considered end game has turned out to be unrewarding.

Eventually, eventually, eventually ……….

This was always going to happen when agony was introduced. Big mistake, but what is done is done. Regular dungeons, I’ve never seen it happen in my groups, I’ve seen it happen, but that was just a try hard group. Now I see every ranger, every engineer and every necro get instabooted.

If I want housing later in the year I’ll play FFXIV, because I highly doubt we’ll be seeing anything of the sort for another 2 years. The game is good, but this will definitely be on hold for a while.

No – thieves are bad enough at the moment, this would be a step in the wrong direction as of right now.

Soulblayze.5890:

HAHA i gave up on guildwars with the terrible broken promises reguarding ranger changes around the haloween patch, im glad too see ive made the right choice, knock WoW all you like, compared too this there customer service is gold

This kind of disturbed me, It’s actually true too.

But I don’t see why this thread is up, it reminds me of all the broken promises.

You gambled, you lost. If you sold all those daggers you could have bought the item straight with gold, you wouldn’t be complaining if you got spark.

I remember seeing a dev say this isn’t possible so it wont happen. But they could make serious money from this, take World of Warcraft as an example.

Necro, sure. Ranger? No. A rangers pet is part of the class, the name makes it different from every other.

Doomdesire.9365:

All this would do honestly is cause people to bandwagon to servers.

This. Any way you reward high population and not reward low population servers you’re going to have issues.

DanH.5879:

lets be fair about this:
when you start stomping, you loose all buffs, including stealth/haste etc.

sounds more reasonable ???

WvW thieves will still be able to stomp in stealth due to culling and quickness by your idea would be useless. No.

Cloud.7613:

This is a pretty bad question, they want the highest amount of gold spent so they can sell more gems. I know a few people who literally just bought out their legendary weapons(gems to gold)

Shirley, you can’t be serious.

I’m serious, Roger.

This is a pretty bad question, they want the highest amount of gold spent so they can sell more gems. I know a few people who literally just bought out their legendary weapons(gems to gold)

Probably a lot more now due to material inflation. 40-60 gold would be more correct.

Hellkaiser.6025:

I’m not miserable, I’m disappointed.

disappointed by the fact that the game is good and like you said has the potential to be amazing, but is held back by obviously BAD ideas and directions that they initially seemed so against. I am after all this time on the forums having constantly tried to re-ignite any sort of respect for this game, unimpressed by the defense of the game by players who seem to think their low standards and expectations are the standard for “realistic” and who ignore the fact changes made have often totally ignored real flaws.

Bad ideas and directions in your opinion, which is worth as much as anyone else’s. These aren’t objectively bad decisions, they’re subjectively bad. Some people like some of the decisions you’ve questioned I’m sure.

I’m not defending the game designers, because I don’t have to. Two years from now, you’ll be waiting for a decent MMO and this one will be thriving and I’ll probably still be playing it.

I love how everyone on a forum knows about about game design than game designers. You should start your own company and make your own game. I’ll just keep playing this one.

Am I missing something? He never said the game wasn’t decent, he is saying that it’s disappointing the game designers have made questionable decisions, bad decisions or good decisions is completely personal opinions, but they’re still questionable however way you look at it.

Read what people say before you comment next time.

Nuka Cola.8520:

Have nothing against RNG but have a ****load of things against DR.

I’m the same, but I have a big issue with RNG+DR.

I do most of the daily stuff just by playing the game so it’s hardly noticeable as a job for me.

RoyalPredator.9163:

I tought legendary items designed to easy spot game exploiters/cheaters.
In November, I saw a lot member of the same guild running aorund with legendary weapons. How should I believe that they had everything legally?
This case, I can’t even believe the guild farmed a leg. for One player, since everyone had one already.

I got mine earlier then November iirc, I think late October. Everything was cheaper then, so the item itself was cheaper. I got my precursor for 36 gold 50 silver. Don’t wildly assume, they probably bought all the materials early with gems + cheap precursor.

I’ll be honest – I cower when I’m grouped up with a thief in any dungeon. 9/10 they’re absolutely awful and glass cannon. I haven’t kicked a thief just for being a thief, but I don’t have much sympathy for when it happens harsh as it may sound. x-x

bettadenu.5483:

Not all balance should revolve around WvW, PvE deserves some attention too.

And yes during the 3 seconds you can only use other utilities just like the Elementalist would during Mist Form

Not all balance should revolve around PvE. I’m just saying that utility is a step in the wrong direction as a class.

bettadenu.5483:

Cloud.7613:

Shadowform:
Become invulnerable for 3 seconds, blind foes near you. Breaks stun

… Lol no. Others are fine, but I don’t see how that is even an option.

It’s the same as the Elementalists Mist Form utility, Thieves don’t get an oh kitten button that are needed in dungeons.

Invis+Culling problem+3 second invul=…

Elementalists mist form you’re very limited in attacking in the form. Unless the thief is locked up and can only use utilities, maybe. But this would have more issues in WvW.

Shadowform:
Become invulnerable for 3 seconds, blind foes near you. Breaks stun

… Lol no. Others are fine, but I don’t see how that is even an option.

I’m confused by the amount of threads exactly like this, people don’t learn to sell and just buy it straight out.

No it wont be fixed any time soon. They could probably fix it very easily for higher end computers, but the issue is they need to think about the masses, which makes it harder to fix. Although I admit I complain about it a lot, I also know how hard they probably work to fix it.

No, one of the main reasons GW2 is so attractive is due to the pay to play aspect. Also I don’t think I would pay monthly if a game didn’t have a strong active balance team. Just my opinion.

I’m wondering if there is leather armor that is really skin tight to avoid armor/weapon clipping, I am a ranger+asura. Thanks <3

Apparently it didn’t count.

Has been suggested before – bottom line is it’d be unfair for those who have spent that amount of gold.

Funny how one admin post can totally derail a thread.

I went from 1-80 in under, idk, 3 hours by crafting. I actually think it’s more beneficial for GW2 it remains this way.

When ANet realizes how much they can make from race changes, it will happen. Till then, move along.

In some cases if they’re FAR away, I can spot zergs a mile away. But if they’re close, with a lot of my team around, I cannot see anything. It’s up and down for me. :-/

I have 214 skill points currently, spent 300, all the skills I bought – I feel like I’ve accomplished things from leveling and still level in games that cap at a certain number and you just don’t get XP – It feels like the game just randomly stops.

Lodovicus.1562:

I do agree with adding more incentives for a team to win in WvW, I just don’t know if rewarding laurels for 5-10 hours of WvW play is the way to go.

Rewarding for winning or punishing for losing though? Would be completely different if there was fair fights 24/7 – but this is not the case.

Brennus.1435:

At least Anet had the sense to make a class like that not have the ability for permanent stealth. You know, like Rogues in wow or something.

Err, Rogues had a good balance of stealth, you can knock them out of stealth via DoTs, GW2 you cannot. They only have a few ways to restealth, this makes them commit to a fight. GW2 thieves can just run away whenever they want. Don’t get me started on the movement speed difference. Ultimately you’re arguing permanent stealth vs combat stealth, which is daft because one has to commit, one does not.

You cannot say for sure Thieves are the problem in WvW, culling is the main problem. While I can agree yes, they’re over powered(only due to culling), nothing will be done.

Slow down in combat? I rarely see that happening. So not exactly game breaking.

The downed state in PvP is what makes it better then other games PvP. When I’m down in PvP/WvW or even just dungeons, I feel like I’m still in the battle even when I’ve partly lost. It’s more exciting, while I can agree invis stomping is mood breaking, It’s not that bad.

Absolutely not. It would give advantages to winning servers, there for people would switch to winning servers, It’s dirty but people would do it. At the moment there isn’t incentive for servers to win and that is for the best currently.

Rambodacious.7495:

And all other servers are having great battles. Transfer to any of them and enjoy WvW.

Transferring from struggling servers is what is causing the problems, pro tip.

Doomguard.5094:

Wait, there’s no rainbow anymore?

It’s there, but it’s very light now and you cannot see it unless you LOOK for it. I want the original rainbow effect without the clip art unicorn.

Title.

I want the chance to revert back to the rainbow effect. The unicorn is poor quality, this is a legendary, it should be treated as so. There for I think it would be beneficial for the opportunity to get the rainbow back if the user chooses.

It would make PvE players feel the need to do sPvP so, no, I don’t like the idea.

Reflexmonkey.1943:

29 earned gold isn’t realistic for some people especially just to change servers.

This is absolutely right. The argument gems can be bought from gold is laughable, the transfer ratio 1:1 is awful, although yes I agree it should be like that, it’s still bad.

Delirious.9278:

Complaining about something so insignificant isn’t going to get you any authority in the matter. Suck it up and accept the decision that Arena Net has made on that bow. You’re not going to get everything that you want in your life. The Dreamer’s aesthetics being one of those things that you won’t get perfect according to your image.

No one is asking for a complete design change, I for one just want the rainbow back. Insignificant when someone worked so hard to get the item to see it get changed in such a horrible manner, very insignificant, lmao.

Due to the topic in general discussion being taken down, I’d like to suggest reverting the changes made to the effect or at least giving us the chance to use the old effect. It was one step to far and the quality of the effect is very poor, It would be good to use the old rainbow again.

Thank you.

Would be good if you could switch skins when you remake new legendary items. Or at least be able to revert back to the original rainbow because the unicorn is just awful quality, I’m shocked this is actually a legendary.

There should be a way to revert back to the old bow, or even have a different version of it. Because this is an absolute joke, a unicorn bow? okay. A unicorn bow that shoots rainbows? okay. A unicorn bow that shoots rainbows with a unicorn that looks like it could be a direct copy from clip art? ….. lol what? Don’t get me started on the bad taste of the Arena Net logo on the butt.

Arena Net should rethink this and quickly.
