wow that’s stupid. I can see having the Cultural Armor sets being unlockable for all the races, that would be something worth working towards..
the weapons? that’s just adding a new, more costly way to buy them.
Meh, don’t like em either.. Don’t like the style & the lack of an actual cutting edge is weird.
Rifle looks like a skyscraper on a stick. Actually these are pretty bad tbh.
I don’t get an Elonian feel at all.. I get a totally Mayan feel. which is found in part in the Asuran stuff but that’s it. Doesn’t work..
Sick of the only cool new weapons & armor being pay only.

some of the npcs still refer to it as having been Canthan.
omg.. yes lets try to tally the number of users when each user’s “vote” can vary from 0 to a few thousand.
uuuuuughh.
It'll also be more realistic than the "People who make profit are evil" Kiel party line. It will at least make her character more interesting.It means WE as a majority selected what we tought would be the most fittest character to that position and thats what voting means, the majority selects a leader.
Actually this election was not based on majority rules.
Anyways, I’ll laugh so hard if Kiel ends up being Scarlet.
The Abaddon fractal would have been the first fall of Abaddon, not his ultimate demise as shown in GW:NF as most of you seem to think.
Almost no one thinks it’s about the NF fight. Also, Anet already said it would have been a pre-gw1 story, so we already know.
I disagree. Some people thought Gnashblade was set up to win. I think what this really boiled down to is hardcore vs casual players.
There is no logical way to explain the idea that Evon was “set up to win”. (unless you buy the pants-on-head conspiracy theory) Humans are ALWAYS the most popular race in games & Charr are the LEAST popular race. Evon was billed as the “bad” guy. umm.. how was he staged to win? that’s a joke.
(edited by DarksunG.9537)
You forgot the Elder dragons.
So did Anet….
The Elder Borings are best left forgotten.
look, i voted 500 tickets for Evon, but lets stop with this “Anet rigged the election!” BS. It makes no sense at all & it’s laughable.
It means WE as a majority selected what we tought would be the most fittest character to that position and thats what voting means, the majority selects a leader.

I don’t get what the OP is saying? does he think he works at Anet?
Well, they did lie about the spontaneous dynamic world. It barely exists and they seem to be getting farther and farther away from it and relying on pug dungeons and mini games more and more.
it BEARLY exists? Are you talking about the game world with thousands of events & comparing them to the handful of things that happen in updates?
right….
I agree the game needs more TRULY dynamic content. Actual AI agents that react to the surroundings & their needs, not to scripted events. but so far most of what you said is pretty much bogus.
Barely anyone likes this and only uses those skins because they are good looking
lolwut.
Also, you can’t say you are speaking for yourself then speak for other.
SAB is probably some of the most fun content in the whole game. That says more about the rest of the game than it does about SAB.
No, it’s a mod.
I do not think that word means what you think it means..
For the life of me I will never understand why this game insists of forcing players to do things they hate.
Here’s the key to all the whining: They don’t FORCE anything. they REWARD you for doing things. I don’t care how much you want the reward, the only one forcing you is you. So stop.
Agreed.. I can’t understand why MMOs don’t continuously add new hair & face options. CO did that & it was awesome..
I’m really sick of mini-games as well. I don’t want more instanced PvP that has nothing to do with my character, i want MORE, NEW, PERMANENT WAYS TO INTERACT WITH THE EXISTING WORLD. things like:
- Housing that I can build & customize
- The ability to climb & scale Tomb Raider/Persia style. even in combat.
- Destructible environments useable in combat
- a personality system that allows you to speak, be diplomatic, befriend & intimidate. maybe even change your idle animation based on your personality.
- archeology, research, treasure hunting that requires solving riddles or surveying
- More combat mixed into jumping/maze elements & ability to knock mobs off cliffs.
- More multi-class, high-level combos. (something that triggers group elites far more powerful than simple combos.)
The mini games are actually pretty lame content. Every time you say “swap out your skills with these & play something totally separate with this new rules” You make our characters completely pointless. The game doesn’t need more games in it, it needs more ways to interact with the main features.

that… is not a good representation of a Charr… like.. at all.
Besides which, human gods … pfft!
I’m gonna laugh so hard if the reactor blew because they were trying to harness the power of the gods..
Why do you automatically assume it’s a Human vs Charr thing? Maybe it’s due to the fact that Kiel is portrayed as a decent individual and a hero, while Gnashblade is portrayed as a scheming businessman only interested in the bottom line.
because most people probably don’t even know what the vote is about. just like mmo devs know that most players don’t read quests text, most players skip cutscenes & just get to the clickies. So I don’t think that’s as much a factor at race.
We know for a fact that Charr are the least popular race & we know for a fact that Humans are the most popular race. On top of that they then made one the “good guy” & one the “bad guy”. It’s very VERY skewed, but not because Anet is trying to “squeeze more money” out of us like the OP said.
Fellow Evon supporters I know Kiel is ahead but while she has the numbers we have the determination, Join me this Sunday and lets buy, farm and steal every ticket we can and show once and for all that this do-gooder Kiel has no chance.
This aggression will not stand.
This message brought to you by Citizens of Tyira For a Better Tommorrow, Tommorrow.
The reason she’s ahead is that she’s human. You pit the most popular race against the least popular race. how is Evon gonna win?
Volcanic eruption versus shallow divine squabbles? Let’s be honest here, while the Elder Dragons essentially amount to a ravaging supernatural tsunami with no personality, the gods amount to prima donnas.
That’s like Saying Citizen Kane is dumb because it’s about “a stupid arrogant jerk” & Transformers is awesome because it’s about huge explosions.
“supernatural Tsunmi”? No, that’s Abaddon. Transforming entire dimension into torment, creating lifeforms & seeping into other plains of existence with cunning & manipulation.
The Dragons make zombies & smash stuff. GG.
It’s easy, there can be so many ways to play with this story, it can be an inquest plot, or asuran experiment gone wrong, chaos theory in play, the ideas is endless and way more creative compared to a defeat a god plot. Thaumanova’s giving alot of room for fun and a decent challenge, on top of an interesting plot.
All of that sounds epically boring. The “defeat a god plot” as you so blandly put it is still far more compelling & epic. Sorry, but finding out why a building half blew up is not as interesting as a battle between the most epic & important characters in the entire GW story, unless it is directly tied to the battle of the gods. the Inquest are quite boring.
The only important reason why the Abaddon fractal is better: GW1 lore was way more interesting than GW2.
The gods are SO much more compelling than the boring, mindless, no-personality Dragons that we have to cannon to death. The idea that “we don’t know what happened” doesn’t necessarily make the story of what happened good. So far, the GW2 stuff has been pretty lame. I’d rather have a Fractal of the single most important event in the GW1 storyline ever. (of course I wouldn’t put it past Anet to ruin the story by making the gods even LESS important & powerful than they have already retconned.)
These responses are what I see on the forums and in game all the time. You all have already convinced yourself that the thaumanova reactor fractal will suck.
While in reality, the abaddon fractal will just be a boss fight.
wow.. So you have already convinced yourself that the Abaddon fight will be a boss fight & will suck. irony?
(edited by DarksunG.9537)
well.. since they never said they were going to NERF mf, I don’t think you have anything to worry about…
One Thing is for sure.. they need more variety.. Especially with the dresses & coats & skirts.
Might also be nice to have a set of armor or weapons you can EARN instead of BUY..
We don’t know why the reactor exploded. Also abaddon is dead who cares about him, the reactor might have something that matters about the current dragons.
The reactor exploded, who cares? The dragons are boring as hell, who cares?
They are just biding their time until the other game they are developing comes together.I havent played for a month or two,came back and am as bored as when i left,no challenge,playstyle even a monkey can master.I really am sorry i invested so much time into this game hoping it would get better,oh well 60 bucks down the drain.
They already stated they aren’t making another game.
I personally really like them. Maybe they’ll come out with something you guys will like in the later patches.
If we complain every time they throw us a bone, we’ll never have nice things
“Throw us a bone”? If they hand these set out for free, yes, that’ll be a bone. saying you don’t like a PRODUCT is not is not saying you don’t like a GIFT.
But if they make a product most ppl don’t like, they should CHANGE THE PRODUCT.
How bout sexy medium armor for females?
You’re saying all this like it’s a bad thing. Giving players something worth while to sell is one of the main things we’ve been missing in this game.
“High risk high reward?”
what’s the reward again? Feeling clunky & imprecise?
The Atari 2600 required “skill” because of poor control too. Sorry, but the 1H Sword is just poorly implemented. Rooting, involuntary movement during auto attack & dodge black-outs are clunky design choices, not risk/reward.

Griffon.
my other pet wishes are:
Marmox
Rock Dog
Raptor
Dolyak
As for a wish of improvement, like Rayean said pet should feel like it’s an extension of yourself, they should be able to do some tasks on their own. For example in pvp pets ninja caping points. Ranger two places at once OP?, I don’t think a pet would be able to solo something that is not an npc. Neither a ranger would. Pets need to be more than gimmicky dps.
This is true.. they kinda are gimmicky DPS. I don’t play PvP, but that sounds cool.. As for mechanics-based Pet wish in PvE: I wish they stayed NEXT to you, not 15 ft in front, only attacked enemies if you used F1 or HIT a target & the F2 skill was instant.
been waithing for that massive ranger revamp for a year almost.

They’ve only mentioned Legendary getting Ascended stats, so my guess would be no.
Legendaries get Legendary status right? They can swap stats etc..
Weapons Like Volcanus, Mjolnir, Aether, Foefire’s ,Wings of Dwayna etc.
I think these weapons have a significant enough investment to be given an Ascended standard, whenever Ascended weapons come out. I was wondering if Anet had any light to shed on those.
I’m pretty excited.. the only thing that I’m disappointed in is:
NO TENGU.
boooo.. Also.. the Precursor acquisition sounds more like grindy crafting than scavenger/legendary adventure. kinda lame.
Celestial gear sucks… why would you do that?
Then you have to replay the mission where you have to fight the Lich and Shiro at the same time in Nightfall.
Except… He wasn’t resurrected. & The Lich wasn’t trying to resurrect him either. He & Shiro just guard the desecrated temple. The only person that tried to do it is Varesh, & she failed. You can’t have a fall story when there is no fall.
It matters, but we all pretty much know exactly what happened at the Mouth of Torment.
Nobody knows what happened at Thaumanova…yet.
Actually, I thought a lot of the detail were unknown.
Also if Thaumanova has to do with the Dragons it’s boring & meh. While I would like to know what happened there, I’d MUCH rather be a part of the epic battle of 6 gods & their armies. The Gods are WAY more compelling than Dragons. Mindless, Speechless Monsters with no personality that have no real motivation (eating magic, meh) Compared to Abaddon who plotted & schemed from the realm of torment to usurp the other gods & kill their followers through the Lich, the Titans, Shiro, the Cataclysm & Nightfall..
Unless the Dragons are a result of Dhuum & Menzies, they are some of the more boring villians in GW. I understand they were sort of meant to be sorta Lovecraft forces of nature, but you forgot the main part of what makes Lovecraft’s creatures work: Horror. There need to be totally horrify, mind-bending reality alterations if you want these things to seem interesting & dangerous. & even they they would lack the Character, History & Interaction that the gods have. I mean.. we went to Hell to fight Abaddon..
@OP
Abaddon fell 3 times.
- from the seat of the gods
- from getting resurrected by the Lich
The Lich never resurrected him. He just brought Titans in to try to destroy Tyria.

Options:
Be in an entire army of humans vs margonites at the feet of 6 dragon-sized gods beating the hell out of each other & turning an entire sea into the desolation?

or
Watch a building explode.
yeah.. not much of a choice.
(edited by DarksunG.9537)
Since GW1 lore is way more interesting & the gods are far more compelling than a reactor going boom… no, I want more Abaddon.
The charrs don’t even know that Abaddon was behind these events.
Nah, I’m sure they know now. With Charr in the Priory & Order I’m sure they know everything our adventurers knew from GW1.
meh. Kiel was a blah character & Evon offers the fall of Abaddon.
keys? worthless.. Fall of Abaddon? win.
Wh…Grenth? Grenth fought Dhuum, not Abaddon.
And I don’t think it will be second Fall. More like first with all the Gods helping.
ALL of the gods fought Abadon. we know that 3 of them fought directly & the rest helped, but they all defeated him together.
“Abaddon was incensed and went to war with the others, and he was eventually struck down at the Mouth of Torment, in a blow that turned the Crystal Sea into a desert. "
And yes, Colin said it’s PRE gw1 so it’s the fight of the gods.
(edited by DarksunG.9537)
Hell…. Yes… Abbaddon is the best villain the game. Dragons are total boring fail.
Cuz I wanna see a dragon-sized Grenth ripping up Abbadon.

dungeon based on jumping of boxes in the laser room from the previous living story.
Really ? You consider jumping on a box to be sort of JP ?
Apparently if you have a functional jump button your game is instantly Mario Bros.
Sorry, but GW2 has some of the best platforming in an MMO. Now, do I wish there were things like cliff grabbing, wall climbing etc… would be smart to take it to the nest level & integrate it into the gameplay & combat more.
Actually, yeah. It kinda IS a platformer. it’s part of what makes it good.
ppl complaining about how GW2 is a WoW clone, then other ppl complain it’s to platformer-y. nice.
Wooden Potatoes is a flip-flopper. I stopped watching his videos when he couldn’t decide week to week whether or not he hated or loved the game. Used to be great – especially his lore videos. But he lost me as a viewer.
huh? he hasn’t flip-flopped on anything. He certainly doesn’t just choose to be a “fan” then love the game no matter how bad it gets. He likes it based on how good it is & how it evolves. his points in this vid are all valid.
He’s been criticizing the game since before it launched.
“GW2 has no end game so it won’t keep players”
and the “GW2 doesn’t have Cantha so it won’t keep players”
then the spate of “GW2 has no quests so it won’t keep players”All hidden behind this phony ‘but I loves the game even though I can’t barely bring myself to play it and everyone is going to quit’ nonsense.
Don’t quote things that aren’t actually quotes, THAT is phony. He never said any of that.
WP probably has the most accurate & honest viewpoint I’ve seen on this game.
