Guild Wars 2

After running tonight’s daily it was a total cluster. The events in Snowden Drifts were never announce. I spent 7 silver jumping around the map trying to join events. There were so many other players that I was not even hitting enemies because of total damage being done by other players, I did not get credit for them. Being a physically handicapped player the new daily and holiday events are not obtainable without waiting until the mobs leave the maps so I can do them. I know the game is meant for everybody to play but the daily and alot of the special events make me want to walk away from doing the daily and special events. Could we find a happy medium that will allow handicapped players like myself be able to once again enjoy the game I came to enjoy. Thank you for reading

Title.

I stopped playing a month or so after Fractals were implemented so its been a while.

I know there’s living story but that never really interested me. I’m wondering what kinds of core gameplay changes there have been.

Also, what’s the new file size? Thanks.

Welcome back.

The games has changed. Leveling is a piece of cake. Personal story comes in blocks when leveling. Fractels are interesting and fun to run with friends. Enjoy the game.

Hey all. I’ve put together one report on this subject for the devs, and I intend to write up another one after the holiday break.

I’ve changed the subject line to be a bit more neutral and hope that everyone will contribute thoughts on the subject of the new dailies!

I have no issue with the new daily. It is nice to be able to jump on get the daily done. The events rotation is fun. I also like the WvW components. Not a PvPer but that is okay. Great job. Thanks for the game.

The holiday JP might be fun for those that have full motor skills. For myself with limited mobility, it is not fun or easy. I have yet to get from starting area. So I will never complete it. Same with the bell choir. The Devs are not looking at the handicapped players so will never complete the daily because of that reason. They should give more choices like the daily. Once the five is reached you get credit. The extra for fun. Just a idea.

Then we shall agree to disagree. Thank you for you reply.

This episode is the worst of any so far. Forced to play as a thief. I detest the class and being forced to play as one is no fun. I am physically handicapped. So trying to finish this LS is not fun or entertaining. To be totally honest it is painful and frustrating. There is no individual enjoyment. Please do not force a class down my throat. This is a F- as far as my personal enjoyment goes. Hopefully it will get better after the holiday break. Not counting on it, but hoping.

I don’t see how anyone can complain that anything with this update is too hard. It’s not. Learn the mechanics, be patient and for one of the fights, hope rng is on your side. Aside from that.. the only thing anyone might complain about is being impatient, or lazy.

Please don’t give anet anymore reasons to dumb down the content.

Speak for yourself. I am physically handicapped. So it is not that easy. It takes constration to do the events. For some people it might be easy.

It doesn’t need an expansion. The content and achievements keep the game fresh and moving forward. Why is expansion the battle cry? This game has changed and evolved since its pre-release beta days. The game is evolving and changing. I am still logging in to run around and work towards gaining achievements. Doesn’t need expansion yet. Still more area to explore.

The new area and group combats are actual alot of fun. Sure little mistake will kill you but such is war. I look at what is happening on the map, how many defenders in the forts, how many chest farmers, and then decide what I am going to do on the map.

From an ex-military standpoint. Extraction from enemy territory. Air lift is quickest way to extract team. Caithe’s secret is not so secret. Faolin Is her secret. People love gossip.

Can we have ascended food. Something that takes down agony or breaks Mordy’s stun. It could work. We used the machine that drove Scarlet crazy. So we should be able to handle digesting blood dust. Just saying.

As a citizen of Tyria. I would love to have a title from the Zephy’s. I enjoy titles.

Bloodstone dust as a cooking element. Negates some damage done by the tangling vines and adds small amount of damage to Mordy’s minions. Cooking to 500. Yea!

My guild mates and I have been rerunning the LS for achievements. We are still getting our loot drops so it is no big deal to us. It has been interesting to run around and trying to figure a build to deal with the new challenges of different environment.

I enjoy seeing the homage to GW1. After running through the event pre-patch, then again last night. It was fantastic and enjoyable.

Cantha is not in the plans. At least that was the case when GW2 was released. Nothing has been said one way or another about Elona. I would love to see Elona again.

It could possibly mean you don’t have everything you need. Check Dulfy.org for the proper steps. Have you completed the first one or are you working on Phase Two? The end is worth it.

Not a good idea. It would be nothing but a money sink. The kicker is the drop rate of T6 material. Grind fest Enough said.

I like this idea. Should prevent failing on purpose.

It seems the atmosphere for attempting to complete events in some areas of the map has become caustic for players attempting to run events and complete areas. The event farmers (train). Has added a caustic atmosphere to the game. The marionette event was perfect for failing events. All die on failure. Instead of having events on a loop timer make it event driven. Say that Spider Queen activates after the attack by centaurs leaders, bandit boss, or undead attack in the swamp. If the event fails the timer resets no boss battle. It would cause people to do different events when trying to activate the main events. Sounds a little cold but would end failing events on purpose. Let me know what the community thinks about it.

I managed to fashion my legendary greatsword by the first anniversary of the game. I would love to see more legendary weapons. Armor and accessories of legendary status. After putting time, experience, and money. I would have liked to see parts of bosses in the meta- events. It would have been alot neater to takes pieces to create a part of legendary weapon.

You can join any guild. As stated it only matters in WvW. If you are looking for companions to journey thru Tyria with. If you have voice capability such as Teamspeak or Ventrlo Even raid call. So guilds are looking for numbers . If you would like information on my guild msg me.

What’s the rationale for making azurite orbs impossible to acquire? They were available at some point before I started this game, but now azurite orbs and exquisite azurite jewels are only available on the trading post at outrageous prices.

Azurite orbs are not available as of this time. It is a future release item for crafting.

We still have Dragons to fight. Area to explore. Lost groups to find. Mantle, Mursatt, and Elonians. Jocko Palo is still out there. The Crystal Desert to explore. There is alot of things yet to see.

I love to see cultural armor modified to allow for more options. The human medium and light female is not a shining example of the best work. I would love to see all three military armors for humans. The spirit armor for Norns. The science discipline armors sir Asura. The armor of morning, noon, evening and night for Sylvari. Then armors would totally me different. The stats would be different. So depending on your choices in the personal story the armor would give the owner boosts. For others it would have different stats like the various armor types. That would make the personal story have some meaning. Let me know what you think.

I don’t mind doing map completion on alternate characters. It reminds of the areas that I don’t go to that often. As a option I wouldn’t stop others from using it.

The wings were from Teq Rising. Not Dragon Bash. If I remember correctly. I could be wrong.

Nothing happens. He disappears and the timer resets. It is a beginning zone boss. Nothing changes, it just resets. At least that what use to happens.

Would be fun if he did something like yell “the dragon is coming, you shall be his sacrifices!!!” and kills anyone nearby that is downleveled by 10 or more..

That would be fantastic. All world bosses should be modified to increase some difficulty and if it fails all within the area are killed and the bosses corruption spreads out and has to be fought back to remove the boss. Would make the world more alive. With the mega servers it would be feasible.

Nothing happens. He disappears and the timer resets. It is a beginning zone boss. Nothing changes, it just resets. At least that what use to happens.

It is a sad state when players are trying to finish living story and get abused by the event farmers. I have not tried that section yet, but will be doing it shortly. I pretty much disregard the chat for that reason. Hopefully this won’t sour other people from enjoying the living story and game in general.

They should make these events instanced for the living story. Farming in this game is Bullkitten anyways. If they want to farm let them run fractals.

What type characters are you running?. Do you want more dungeon or Fractals? Have you tried Edge of the Mists. COF is still being done. So let us know what you are looking for.

I recommend showing them the starting zones. The vistas, pop up events and hearts. Once you reach where they could travel show LA. Then travel around the other starting zones. Show them edge of the mists. If you have guild mates ask them to help protect them while they travel the map. Show them Tyria and good luck.

I feel your pain. I have multiple characters. I have run across those same type. That is why I ignore the written chats. We use TS so that as a guild you can ignore the chat box.

For those that have machines that can handle it. You can always turn your settings down.

I would also love to see this also. Weather changes and actual day and night schedule. Different creatures depending on time of day. IE. Daylight would have lions, tigers and bears. Evening would have a mix of day and night. Night would have nocturnal creatures like bats and such. Dawn would again have a mix. The night would require a use of torches. The timetable would with the current.

The game is casual. As a disabled individual it is not to overwhelming. I enjoy the community and being able to interact with others. My friends and guild mates give me the ability to interact with others. Not to sure about the mega-server yet. I miss traveling areas and not running into players but at least they are there if you need help. So for me, it is enjoyable and fun.

Gamers in general are a fickeled bunch. Change something and they come unglued over it. Even when it doesn’t affect their game play as a veteran player. I have three new characters and leveling is different so far. I am enjoying the leveling experience. So it is not that hard just different.

This is what happens when farming events. I usually skip events on a schedule. It improves the loot drops.

That is the problem with the BL chests. I won’t purchase keys because of the stuff you get in them now. You haves better chance of getting a pre-cursor drop from the Mystic Tiolet. You have play the game and take your chances. Or you just walk away and play the keys when you get them.

I have 3 characters just created. Looking forward to leveling them. Still have characters spread around the map. Spooon hunt is on.

It seems like it gets drug up when a new patch is mentioned.

I would love to see the watch knight be added to fractels. Same as the watch work creatures. It could be fought similar to the char invasion. It could be fun and technical fight.

Why are we still beating this dead horse. No mounts. Not going to happen. So let it go. Wait for another MMO to come out that has them. Realize it is not happening in GW2.

Nice idea. Kind of a travel log of where you have been. If you travel around the map. You cab always see them again. But I do like your idea. Unlikely to ever happen but great idea.

Forgotten Legend.9281:

in my opinion, generally speaking… any guild that wants 100% rep is not worth joining.

I have three guilds that I belong to. One is my personal bank guild. Great place to store mats. I agree that repping a guild 100% of the time is stupid. I can see during guild events it being required, but not when farming and leveling. Some guilds it is all about number of members, not how many actually assist each other

I play GW2 because it is B2P. I walked away or failed to buy any game that is P2P. I enjoy the community and talking with friends. Being homebound since my stroke, it allows me to socialize with friends. My rehab has been faster due to the community. The jumping puzzles has helped me to gain some motor skills that were affected. So from this old gamer I thank you. Anet for the game and community. If you see my characters roaming around don’t be afraid to message me and say hello.

She is with Queen Jenna.

I enjoy being able to redo the content on multiple characters. It is allowing me to see the content at my own pace.

Regina Buenaobra.6193:

Just a question here because I am curious. The idea of the Living World is that there is a storyline that you take part in, that you are involved in events that shape Tyria in permanent ways—how would you all convey the sense of progression and change without also making changes to the landscape? I see a couple of comments regarding creating things, not simply destroying. Do you all have any other ideas?

I enjoy the changing landscapes. If it were static it would be boring. Change is part of life. It is not always butterflies and sunshine. Destruction is some times needed. Please continue it is working. Thanks for a great way to change the land of Tyria.
