Since the new build this morning was installed I can not stay connected for longer than five to ten minutes then the I get disconnected. It is very hard to enjoy the game when every time I log back in after the disconnect I am on a different map and I have no idea where in the area I am going to log back into. Please look into this. It makes plkaying the game very hard to enjoy. Thanks
Why does every back piece for ascended type becomes a money and time sink? You have to do the same thing over and over just more material to upgrade the back piece. The developers use to think outside the box when this game was released but now we can count on grinding to get achievements and triple grinding for ascended back pieces. I shudder to think what we are going to have to grind to get in the next expansion. Please for the sake of six find a different way to allow us to earn these back pieces. Grinding is becoming the norm in GW23.
Why does all the new achievements become such a gold sink. The material grind and gold sink. It is getting out of control. The carnival weapons skins are way to expensive. For being a casual game why has all the achievements becoming crazy gold sinks. Anet needs to seriously rethink the cost of future achievements. Those on limited incomes can not afford to buy the achievements.
The new changes to the classes are the worst yet. Why do you have to punich PvE over the what happens in WvW and PvP. If you want to make the game more even in those two areas then Give them set builds and leave PvE alone. Since the rebuild Damage by all classes at least with my builds are cut by 3/4. The #5 skill on the Rev does not even stop attackks or even stun the enemy. The Devs need to look at this as it is causing what was once a great game to become a WoW clone full on catering to special groups and not casual players. Quit punishing PvE for other types of P{Layers.
Thanks for the update. Look forward to getting my daily GW2 Fix.
Why is it that everytime they nerf skills in WvW and PvP that thoe of us that Play PvE have to suffer. They have nerf the warrior to the point of being useless. Guardians skills are so nerfed that they can hardly do any damage against the Mordy crew. They new specializations are so jokingly bad since the last patch. If you want to nerf the skills in PvP and WvW do it, but quit messing up those of us that Play PvE. The game is fun until you can hardly do damage unless you use a stupid meta build. You are furcing us to play the game you want us to instead of letting us play our builds our way.
I thought it was a lot of fun. I also enjoyed the Guild Wars tie-in… very nostalgic.
It didn’t seem that hard, maybe you had low player turn out?
This is the personal story . I enjoy the other parts. They need to look at teh participation rate of the NPCs. They do littl4e to no damage and are only good for eye canday and rezzing me.
The Justicar fight mechanics are the worst you have ever come up with, She is hard to damage and to many other troops jump and the targeting off her. There are to many mobs around her to effectively attack her. Every boss fight does not need instant mobs to get in the way. The members sent in with you are no help. Rethink you final fights after this. This one SUCKS.
Thanks Mo, Looking forward to it. Now have a reason to push alts through the story and get ready for the next one.
Fortifying the camps is a joke. First thing that happens is the fortifications are a destroyed in thier first attack. Night time camps look pretty but useless. Takes to long to upgrade, especially on low population maps. Also, once your map population drops then the map closes and you have to start over.
The respawn rate on creaturess to fast on low population maps. You kill a beast and it respawn before you can even move. I understand wanting other players to have a chance to kill but this is crazy. The single player on some maps spend more time fighting the same creature for no reason other than the spawn rate. Please look into this. It has been a issue since release and the Devs are not addressing the issue
Warrior have been gutted of their power. They are getting to be absolutely useless in solo play. Everything that looks at them, kill them. Anet needs to give the warrior back the ability to tank. Quit gutting the warriors and nerf the thiefs. That is a class that is OP
Old LA was my favorite of the two also. I miss the activities of the NPCs. The little kids playing by the bank. The day and night people running around the city. I Wish they had changed the city so they Old LA slowly morph into new LA. Watch them slowly take down the damaged buildings and reorganizing the city into the new. They left very little of old LA. It is to plain for me. I only hang out there to craft I spend most of my time in the outer areas. I like That LA is new but still miss the plaza in old LA.
Go to Cursed Shores.
Do events.
Get loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads of leather from the bags dropped by the risen.
I already farm here. The level I need is in the mid range areas like Sparkfly. so just have to grind away I guess.
Why has leather become so scarce. Working on legendary great bow and now the ability to craft Elonian leather is so pricey that I am double thinking even working on legendary. The leather drops are behind event walls. So the casual player has a hard time getting the drops. This seriously needs to be looked at. We can get wood and stone all over the maps but leather we have to either have to pay more than the item is worth on the BL or be lucky enough to catch it when it is in the rotation for the area. You breakdown leather boots and get cloth instead of leather scraps. Putting items behind event walls is not fair to the casual player. It is Anet’s fault the the BL is becoming a joke. the prices are getting out of control. The leather shortage needs to be addressed. Hey Devs quit putting materials behind timed events. Thanks for letting me vent.

DC severly limiting progress in HoT maps

Already running the 64 client. Uninstalled and did a fresh install. Still is crashing at DS. So just getting tired of it. Hopefully it can get solved with another graphics card. Doubt it but it could happen. Thanks for the advice Shadelang.

Crashing out of DS is getting worse and really souring me towards this game, I use to enjoy playing it but now , when running DS you stand a better than average chance of the client crashing and not beable to return to the instance you were in, This is so not worth the trouble or the aggrevation that is it has become. I could no reccommend this expansion in its present broken form. It would not even rate as a beta.
Thank you both for you input. I did take the time to look for like topics, but nothing came up. This area is not player friendly. You need a group to do anything. I have a given amount of time to play. I don’t have time to look for groups for map completion. I enjoy the maps but it is very hard for an individual to do anything. That is all I am saying. I don’t mind the times cycles. The map is to overpowered for a single player to move around on at times. I do enjoy the maps. I like playing with my Guildies. IT is just that solo players are punished for playing the game.
There are too many empty maps in HoT. Verdon Brink is constantly asking to move maps and when you do, you end up in a map that is even emptier than the one you left. The mobs are just waiting for the caracter to arrive in teh new map and wipes you out as soon as you enter. There is no reason there should be asking to change one minute into a large event when there are people doing the event. The only thing I can say about HoT at this point is it is a HOT mess and needs to seriously be looked at. For the most parts the maps are empty and their is nothing a single casual player can can do in the area. Time gates and other kitten garbage is not fun it is kitten annoying, The Devs need to look at this, There is not a lot of people on the maps so it is seriously ruining the game for me. Think about the casual players and quit catering to special interest groups. They come are go at each new releases but the casual players are here. Please look at the maps this is ruining a great game. Mob killing is not fun. It is actually making me regret purchasing the Hot expansion.
Thanks for the great design game. Good luck in future endeavors. Your input will be issed.
I was born when Ben Hur won best picture. Before Pong. And TV was b&W if you could afford one. It also turned off at 10:00 pm………lol

Have you tried the 64 bit client? Despite its beta label, it has worked for many people, including myself
I already run it. Helps in areas other than Dragon Stand

The devs need to fix the final battle in Dragon Stand totally unplayable. If this what is going we can expect when trying to complete the final battle this is becoming not worth the time or effort to even attempt. This needs to be addressed. It is ruining the game play for me. At this time I would NOT reccommend anybody to purchase HOT. Instead of worrying about the 10 percent the want to do PvP professionally and worry about the people the actually play the game this is more than unacceptable, Fix the issues that are causing the crashes. As this is has been a problem since release. Fix the crashing issues please.
Why has the devs decided that poison is the way to kill players. It is absolutely a cheap way out of fighting. The Hylek use way to much and no way to remove it. Also why are they invincible to attacks when the players aren’t. It seems that the devs are going out of their way to just get cheap kills. Also the distance the Hylak can hot you from is farther than the Ranger’s Great bow will Strike. Totally crap. Make the game fair instead of just kitten frustrating. Especially with the maps becoming emptier with each passing day.
I think the timer idea is fantastic. I the core game, World bosses could be announced in it. So those that want to go there can. In Maguuma the boss fights could also be broadcast. Similar to the day night cycle.
A LFG tool for meta events would be handy for when you are trying to do the meta events in the new area. Hard to find a active map to compete on for the achievements. Would be great to see implemented.
Those of us that play solo due to time restrictions or small guilds would like to be able to join a active map without trying our luck in the present LFG tool.

My problem is the constant crashes at the final battle. You get on a good server. You are fighting away then the client crashes for no apparent reason. When you reload you end up in a blank map. the map you were in is no longer available. It pretty much ruins the entire game because of this issue. Can the Devs at least look into what causes this instead of trying to worry about a stupid profession PvP leagues. It is making the game dang near impossible to play and enjoy. Before they say it is my co,puter. I doubt that very much. Please for all the is fun look into this. The game has has this problem since release.
Can the Devs not think of any other way to make the game better than the use of poison. It is getting to look like that is is their go to way to kill players. It is the one thing that a player cannot shake off. so getting hit by three and four tentacles at time with their poison attacks is being to to take the fun out of the events. Please for the sake of the seven gods find something new to kill or back characters off other than a cheap over powered poison attack. Thanks for reading.
You are still moving about. When they fail to move at all. Ranged characters are still moving. I mean people who do not react when enemies come near them.
Why is Anet allowing people to ride off the backs of other players during events. I just attempted to complete the Silverwaste final event there were four players that did not move during the entire event. Then when it finished they were the first to run into the chamber for the grand chest. There should be a way that Anet can kick them from the instatance if they fail to move during a fight. IT is wrong that a few have to carry them then they get rewarded for being lazy and not helping. The Community is better off without them.
The base game is worth it. HoT is well worth it. Running solo or with guild mates can change the game play in many different ways. So find a guild that you are comfortable with. Enjoy Tyria.
Instead of sending us back to the last point we entered the guild Hall at at logout. Allow us to stay in the hall. Load times would decrease on start up.
Trust your antivirus. Hoax message. Disregard it, like gold sellers.
I am available to help with claiming halls. I can gather some guildies and associated to help out if needed. Message me in game. We have claimed both halls.
Happy Anniversary. Thank you for all you do for the community. See you in game.
Go to the guild bank and check there. You can’t access through guild tab.
Tired of my ranger looking like Carmen San Diego. Want something that fits with a hunter.
Scarlet’s room is in DryTop. Near the little town by the Sand River.
Running a commander tag in PvE is useless and annoying. WvW it is useful for running events and leading attacks. In PvE ut is comical. You don’t need a tag at world boss events with the exception of Tripled Threat and TQ. The Mentor tag is hopefully going to help those that need assistance in PvE.
I a totally enjoying the new content. I have help capture 4 or 5 guild halls for friends and people that need help. Hardly doing Mad King events. Enjoying the flying and fighting. Contents is so different and never know what you are going to find. Well worth the cost.

Not all of us have $2000 computer. Not all of us have the reflexes of a 13 year old. . I have been dying every 30 seconds for 45 minutes and am sick of your poor design.
Try to use 3 skills, that fail to fire a third of a time while dodging red circles and and instant death creature behind you that kills you in 3 seconds.
Did any one of you think that this would be fun?
Think about the players! This isnt a fractal or a raid. This is part of the Living Story.
You are supposed to be better than this….
I don’t own an expensive computer either. I-5 with 16 gigs of ram and older graphics card. During heavy mob fights I turn settings down. Trying to run HoT solo is tricky. Some mobs are quick and deadly. Do not be afraid to pull. I am a ranger so I pull targets. Never been one to wade in and die. Hopefully it will get better for you.

I am no spring chicken, but I am totally enjoying the new content. We (guildies) captured our hall yesterday. Working on LS. Had to change my build to suit the mobs. For me, healing armor and tons of food help. Forget Magic Find food, I use healing food. I also run ascended armor full celestial. So with HoT it is trial and error. Hang in there hopefully you can enjoy it.
The Spoiler Anet doesn't know they revealed?

So are many of the other voice actors. Anet stated that long ago. Looking forward to traveling through the new area in full and not a quarter of it.
I would recommend finishing level the engineer. Have your guild mates assist so you can do the dungeons. If the guild you belong to is not assisting then find one that you can mesh with. Some guilds only want numbers others are willing to assist with enjoying the game. But do try and reach 80. You are over halfway there.
The F2P game is meant to whet thier appetite and purchase HoT. The restrictions are there so botters and others do not unbalance the game. Restricting them from participating in WvW is the same reason. Hopefully your friends will see the enjoyment us “Veterans” have come to love. HoT will hopefully allow the to move into the pay version. As far as chatting you can always find a guild with 3rd party chat program. So tell your friends welcome to game and look forward to seeing them in game.
You have to level up gliding. You don’t get all the abilities at the start. Besides the training is their to learn.
Beta weekend players, HoT worth it or not?

Enjoying alot. Boss fights and events are fun and take some getting use to. Enemies actually move about. Assassins pop in and out. Mushrooms chase you. Guatds move about. Creatures move around during attacks.
Next Weekend. This weekend is the beta.
I didn’t even know who Angry Joe was until after the game came out. I did like his review once I watched it, but I can’t say I’ve watched any other of his videos since then. :\
I got GW2 because I played GW1, and then I enjoyed the GW2 beta events.
I was already to play before I saw his review. Beside he stated he hasn’t played for a long time. His Angry army is active but he is not.
