I have a over a thousand hours of play time in GW2. Do you know how many keys I have seen drop? None. The only ones I have received are from personal story rewards.
You mean vista on a tower? It is not glitched you need to track where flying cows come from and the guys who shoots them will shoot you up on the tower.
Well I know that on my server, Yak’s Bend, there is a broken event there (the harpy event) that prevents use of that cattlepault. The OP could have something similar there.
I would like to see some non-combat activities in general. While I like the combat in this game, it is too focused on it.
So stuff like housing, fishing, farming, and even other crafting proficiencies would be very welcome. All of these things can help bring longevity to the game I feel as they really aren’t affected by levels.
It is impossible for you to “steal” someone else’s loot drops. You are confusing it for something else.
Interesting. Those two items are ones that I happen to really like. No trinity and weapons actually making a difference in how you play. But I would like to see the weapons have a greater selection of skills to choose from, sort of like a pool of 10 skills per weapon and you can select 5 of them to put on your skillbar.
I thought people were asking for dances to be put in the store????
I thought this was the perfect item to put in the gem store myself.
Perhaps they could have a scalable dungeon? Especially for any story related stuff.
GW2 is about as casual as it gets. There are certain elements of the game that isn’t casual but on the whole it very much is.
Having a diverse selection of playstyles and character class aesthetics is my reason for having alts. I have never made an alt due to any kind of nerf or class change in any mmo.
skill was required for the holy trinity?
Legendaries will always be equal to the highest level of weapons in the game. Right now that is exotic level. When/if they introduce ascended weapons then the Legendaries will be bumped up to that level.
This is one of the few mmos that has combat that I actually like. The majority of mmos have absolute crap combat.
Magic is like religion, it explains the unexplainable
People watch other people play video games?
how boring
I enjoyed the amount of skills available in GW1 (even though a lot of them were redundant). Other that, GW2’s combat is vastly superior in my opinion.
Also, this thread seems like a thinly veiled “I want the trinity” type of thread.
A lot of ppl are getting combat mixed up with diversely of builds. Combat is any thing during combat any thing out side of this is something comply different. When you changes your build or even changes skills out of combat that not part of combat. Alone with the weapon switch in mid combat GW2 out plays GW1 BUT due to fewer skills GW1 out dose GW2 in diversely of builds (this is more of a time problem then game problem.)
Yeah I understand. I’m just saying that if I could import one thing from GW it would be the way that skills were handled (although I don’t mind having skills tied to weapon choice, I’d like there to be some choices within that skill set). Otherwise the combat itself is much better in GW2.
Could you switch skill mid-combat in GW1 or say just out side of combat like in GW2?
can only switch skills at an outpost in GW1

Ah well, sucks it’s dying. I still have fun with it though and I’ll keep playing until they turn the servers off.
Hmm, and here I thought it was one of the best leveling experiences I’ve had in an mmo

actually the article is about pre-endgame economy, not the endgame economy
What happens when you achieve everything that you want in other games?
Congrats on all of the gold. If you are struggling for ways of using it, you could always just give it away, preferably to me.
I have yet to find a game worthy of a subscription.
Plus I don’t like it that you are essentially renting a game when you have to pay a sub fee.
A Necro can’t move?
Anyway, out of the bow classes all of them are fine to play. If you want the most challenging of them to play, a thief is probably the best bet. I mean it isn’t that difficult but it isn’t a profession in which you can just stand there and fire away.
it is a problem that every mmorpg has once they are past release
I don’t know of a solution other than having “daily” type of quests to specifically return to those mid level areas.
The Secret World is a buy to play mmo. That is the only other one that I can think of.
I love the cities. Actually Divnity’s Reach is my least favorite because it seems so organized.
My biggest issue with the cities is the fact that there is no real reason to go there. Need some mini games, some missions, even dynamic events in the cities themselves. I feel as though they are wasted.
Did you look to see if you were reading the same 10-20 people’s opinions?
Indeed. There is a pattern on forums if you notice. A lot of the complaints are written by the same folks.
Engineer
by far
I don’t really understand the nothing to do at level 80 in pve complaints. It is the same for every mmorpg except for raiding, is that what they want?
As for a LFG tool, while technically there is one I agree that it is pretty woeful. I would have thought at the very least it would have had the functionality of what they had in GW1.
I don’t think it is ok to release an unfinished game.
MMO’s are never finished. If you wait for an mmo to be finished before releasing, we would never have an mmo.
I wouldn’t mind if there was some sort of arena or colosseum that was there specifically just for dueling. Would be kind of a perfect thing to add in Lions Arch I think. Outside of something like that? No thanks.
Costume brawls? Meh. Wasn’t a fan in GW1 either but I’m not opposed to them.
I haven’t been to Orr in many many months, but I can’t imagine it being that dead.
Dead eh? Yes Orr is dead, the undead ;-p
But actually only Cursed Shore seems to have many players, at least on my server. A shame too as I think Malchor’s Leap is the most interesting area of Orr.
I like them although I do agree with above that they need to telegraph their big explode attack better.
GW1 Elementalist
GW2 Elementalist
Although in GW1 my Dervish became my favorite character. But my Elementalist was there from launch day.
judging on how quickly the gem to gold rate has changed since they put this in the store I’d say it was a good idea.
I would have gotten one if it was account bound. For a soul bound item, it needed to be at least half of that cost for me to get it.
Yeah they will add in ascended armor at some point. I was thinking after that though. If they add in another gear level, I’ll be extremely disappointed.
They are just talking about expansions in that article. The problem you are having is insisting that expansions are the only way to introduce new content, which clearly isn’t true.
So there will be new quest zones? dungeons? gear levels?
quest zones and dungeons? quite possibly or they could add to what we have. Gear levels? I certainly hope not, that would be a nightmare.
They are just talking about expansions in that article. The problem you are having is insisting that expansions are the only way to introduce new content, which clearly isn’t true.
I’d be disappointed if they raise the level cap. But even if they do it will be far, far away. I think you are safe to get another exotic armor set.
This game was awesome 1-80. Absolute perfection in my opinion. Then I bought some gems, turn it into gold, bought all exotic Bezerker level 80 gear and realized there’s nothing to do because I had the gear I would have been grinding for.
The jumping puzzles (very fun), map completion (cool), alt leveling (a breeze) and skin collecting is stuff you do on OFF RAID NIGHTS…but this game has no raiding. And there’s no new contents planned for this game. So, let’s rename it Jumping Wars and put it back on the shelf.
P.S. I’m a girl and I don’t even care about the skins. I bought the Order of Whispers gear and was very happy with that.
What makes you think there’s no new content coming?
The developers said so.
can you source that please?
Here’s the article
http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/03/06/guild-wars-2-expansion/
Is this all there is to this game for the next two or more years until GW3 comes out?
there must be something lost in translation because them not currently working on an expansion does not mean they won’t be putting out content

Of course they released it too early. I’ve yet to see an MMO in the last five years that hasn’t come out too early. That’s because no matter what you do, at some point you have to start earning an income.
I’ve said this before on many threads, that I believe Anet launched this game to beat MoP to market. It wasn’t a bad move. Probably made them a lot of money. They’ve been playing catch up ever since.
If this was the only MMO forced to launch before it was completely finished, it would be a travesty, but it’s not. Because MMOs cost so much money to make and take so much time that eventually you have to bite the bullet and get it out there.
As usual, you misrepresent my position.
I didn’t say it had to be completely finished. There’s a wide swath of possibilities between underdeveloped and completely polished.
I didn’t buy this game because it’s relatively better than all the others; relatively better can still be poor overall. I bought it because I expected it to meet some set of criteria that exists regardless of the quality of current MMOs on the market.
Me. I’ll just hang out here and wait for the fixes.
That’s the problem. You’re asking us to trust that everything will work out. I don’t see how they can make significant improvements without a significant overhaul of many of the core mechanics. And you’ve already said in other threads you don’t see those kinds of changes occurring.
I didn’t misrepresent you. I disagree with you. The game was playable, it was buggy. If you don’t like the core mechanics, you don’t like them, and that’s fine. It doesn’t, however, make those core mechanics bad. It makes them not your thing.
I have very little problem with the core mechanics of this game and I had very little problem with them at launch. You’re 100% right. If you don’t like the core mechanics of a game, it’s not going to change. I didn’t like the trinity in any game I’ve played. That’s a core mechanic. It’s not going to change. So if I play trinity games, I don’t go to the forums of those games and complain about the trinity, because there’s not much point. I knew it would be there from the beginning.
As for expecting a game to launch more complete more better than it’s counterparts, well, you can expect that. But it’s not a reasonable expectation. The industry is how it is for a reason. The combination of fan pressure for the game to come out, investor pressure for the game to come out, timing of other games…given that no MMO is going to be in a good place when it launches, it makes sense to launch in window with no competition. If you owned the company, you’d do the same thing. Because it’s your money and your investment.
Waiting till the game is more ready isn’t always the best thing for the game. And the higher the overhead of a business, the more risk involved. This is a big risk investment for people and business decisions have to be part of the equation.
This game needs WoW raids + Rift dimensions = perfection
Rift didn’t have dimensions at launch and I’m pretty sure WoW didn’t have a raid. Content takes time. The core of the game is finally working and now they can start adding stuff, in the same way they added the fractals. Again, all it takes is time.
But they said there’s no more content coming….so?
huh?
I will also try to stay away from P2p, F2P and PTW games. If it has a cash shop I’ll avoid it too.
So you won’t be playing any online games then?
Diablo 2 and Guild Wars 1 were strictly B2P and weren’t exactly unsuccessful.
GW1 has a cash shop though, so that rules out that game for him

Will there be a Charr named Aslan?
if they were account bound I’d definitely think about getting one
as of now though, I’ll just stick with the cheap ori picks
I much prefer the plants we have now over the tired elves.
There are problems in all games, and there are problems in Guild Wars 2. But over all, for a player like me, the pros far outweigh the cons.
Indeed. This pretty much describes how I feel as well. There is no perfect game out there.
