Guild Wars 2

GG…. I just watched the video. Wow, what a bunch of pretentious, self absorbed, bleeping kittens they were in this video. That Anet staffer was not a problem at all. They were rude and obnoxious to him!

Before the first photo, the actual first communication to the dev was, “Stop being a kittening kitten.” They were already paranoid and obnoxious before the Dev even arrived. Which happened to be at a moment when they were rolling the Hillside to wipe the spectators. Who does that btw??? Anyway, from the Dev perspective, walking in on that, it might not have even looked like a GvG was going on.

Someone owes him an apology and the threads should be deleted by the posters. If they had the slightest bit of class and humility at all, that is.

Going up 164 ranks in a week, I would expect, is highly abnormal for most players. You’d have to train the map pretty much unchallenged all day long.

What I don’t understand is, I made a fuss about this the day the Ranks went live. How has it taken this long to get everyone on board with how bad of an idea Soulbound ranking was. My PERSONAL progression is tied to ME, the player. Not the pixels on the screen.

These WxP boosters better drop like candy from a Pinata. Because WvW was never supposed to be a treadmill.

Ummm….. I think you meant to say, WxP should NOT remain soulbound and become account wide. Because having it soulbound IS killing the usefulness of alts.

Until J Sharp get’s it in his head, some of us WANT to Bow, any improvements are going to be on the Melee weapons. Which does nothing for my play style at all. I have little confidence in his ability to make a decent Ranger build.

Increasing pet health is useless. WvW players know to disregard the pet anyway. You could make the pet God like invulnerable and it wouldn’t change much at all.

I’d love pet actions placed in the combat log. Also, a condition damage tally in the log too. As of right now, if the Borderland map is queued, I feel like all Rangers (myself included) should log off the map. We really add nothing that other classes aren’t better at. About the only thing we could do is drop a Healing Spring and run for the Hill’s. This way we’re not rezz candy for the enemy.

HA!… I just came on to rage a bit about how Rangers really need help in WvW. They are the hands down the weakest class in WvW. This video changes nothing about it. It just shows opponents whom tried too hard to avoid any direct attack, causing the fight’s duration to become too long. Playing right into a Rangers “slow Burn” condition builds.

Free speech, let them get off their chest. It’s healthy to express themselves.

Oh, and may I add the new additions to the BL’s are a cluttered cluster F. Very dreary and morbid, taking away that open clean feeling the BL’s had. They really screwed up on the design and artistic direction of the new additions. They don’t even make sense in an architectural sense.

I’d say there are 4 reasons off the top of my head. Internally in GW2 there is the new Tequatl fight which is something different to do and very challenging. It’s requiring an “All Hands on Deck” approach to get it done.

The new WvW update has soured the experience for some. As you can see from some post on here, they do not like the new capture points buffs. It boost the strongest server, not helping to balance the servers. It even boost’s all the NPC’s too. I imagine trying to solo a camp with 3 stacks is going to very challenging. Which, is all you could do on an outnumbered map really, run havok. Also, you do not want to be downed while the opposing side has 3 stacks. So, you’re best off sitting in a tower with a crud ton of siege Hoping a clever thief can steal some of the points back.

Externally, there’s still the matter of school being in session now. Also, other games like GTA V came out this week. Heck, maybe even the I Phone release had the attention of a few players.

WolftheAngel.4089:

I do have to agree with some of the worst in people. I was in an overflow earlier today, and everyone was saying how we should get on to a chat system to have better communication. When I mentioned I had a Mac and most of the voice communication systems out there don’t support Mac there was a huge 15 minute argument on how PC’s are better than Macs among everyone else. -.-’

A Mac, might as well just run around naked in game. Bwahahahaha I’m Kidding… I’m kidding! Though that’s why people love Team Speak, it’s available on just about everything. You can even have it a phone or tablet too. It doesn’t have to be on the same computer you’re playing the game on.

I do agree with the OP. As difficulty in the game rises, so does the division amongst players. Couple that with having us being divided by the introduction of politics and it seems clear the dev’s wish to drive a wedge between us.

I’d like to thank and congratulate Jade Quarry’s PUG Force for last night’s 3 in a row on defeating Tequatl. We didn’t need a “Leet” guild to do it. We just needed our reluctant heroes to step up and organize in Team Speak. Our map lead was awesome and didn’t even have a pin! Though hoping we all pitch in a buy him one, he earned it last night.

Good Luck everyone, keep at it.

I just hope they realize how bad of an idea this was. Exclusivity brings out the worst in people. They made this great social platform, I hope they don’t mess it up now.

Fishing would be awesome!!!!!! I’d like less FPS added, since the majority of the game is this. Let’s add in more fun and creative things for us to do.

The only thing useless is a closed mind. After a year of playing, I still don’t get the mentality of Zerker or nothing.

Ascended was created to give us something to spend our time on. Thus, the boxes are working perfectly because you’ll have to keep going to get the stats you want. Heck, if I was dev, I would put the drop rate of Zerker to 10% or less. This would be to take up players time longer and to encourage them to try other builds.

He might be saying he has a Legendary?

GJ on crafting this! It’ll take me two weeks at least

I can make the argument pretty simple. The economy has become the 800 pound Gorilla in the game. Because it appears the economy is affecting the developers judgement.

Obviously the “No grind” sales pitch was misleading. To say Ascended Gear was created because we obtained Exotics too quickly, means they always intended for us to be chasing a level of gear. Not spending the majority of our time experiencing content and story.

Oh, someone did it with Quivers too. This is quite enraging to me as a WvW player who hates FotM. Also, as a person whom likes Celestial stats. Still no way for me to get a celestial backpiece! Or any Ascended backpiece for that matter

^we could say that about playing a video game

Cutting a conditions duration is reducing the amount of HP you lose. Armor reducing conditions would completely break the use of conditions that reduce HP. Also, condition damage has diminishing returns built into it. Unlike the multiple power builds that scale up.

Just looking and I see nothing added to WvW gear selections. Nor, any back items either. Why is WvW far last to get anything?

I think you forgot to move her when you put the fountain back

OMG… how? I SO would have bought one if I knew you could do this
Is it me or is this update a mess?

No ones every had this happen? At least if we could pick it back up and use it again later when the buff’s wear off.

Dear God, it looks like they split any item with Magic Find into two categories, Explorer’s and Traveler’s. Then locked Assassin’s OR Dire into each set. Instead of doing things the easy way and giving us the option to chose whatever stat combo we’d like now.

…..What possible reason could there be to gate in such a fashion????…..
Please open up the options Anet?

For now I’ll use other gear and let the set rot…

I also had a set of Yakkington’s on my heavy and again, Dire is listed and not Assassin. Troubling to say the least. Since these are not Explorer’s or Traveler’s by name.

Think about power creep in WvW. WxP and Ascended gear are going to kill the fun of running alt’s. I’m well into the hundred’s on Rank in WvW. It’s just that it’s spread over many alts. Making me less useful and underpowered than I could be.

It’s broken on a core level if you ask me.

Wait.. what… is it good??? Should I open it?

I’m going on 9 alts’ going going to add 2 more soon. This is shear madness! I want to play AT a finished level. Not spend all my time getting to that level.

Honestly, I wouldn’t care if I had one character and we learned professions/skills on top of each other. Instead of all these alts. It just makes this a grind…

Have Errol’s Armor with Magic Find that needs new stat’s to be chosen. Assassin is not available on the list. Which I believe it should be. My Explorer’s Short Bow was able to be.

Guessing this was an oversight? Hoping it’s added soon….

I just attempted to use a Communal Boost Bonfire by the bank in Lions Arch. Obviously, everyone is looking for the karma boost today. Problem is, I already had a full stack of boosts on my character. Thus, it wouldn’t let me choose which boost to use! I tried an alt and it wouldn’t recognize the account.

Basically, it locked me out of choosing and a 300 gem item went to waste. I’d love a refund! At the very least, how about fixing this to a warning message that we can override?

Ok, I’m not thrilled with GvG either. Especially when one of the guilds are doing it on the home BL. Why, because it weakens the defense of the home bl. Now, if it was Guilds from JQ and BG, the optimal place would be on SoR BL. That’s in SoR’s favor. Also, any remaining forces from those servers are still free to do as they please. Because no matter what, they are minus those numbers from the population cap.

btw… as Jed already mentioned, I’ve never witnessed SF going out of their way to mess with a GvG.

The last couple of pages on the thread have gone to heck, calm down people.

This thread needs a good —> http://youtu.be/8N_tupPBtWQ

Because the attack to defense ratio isn’t skew’d enough already? We’re all virtually paper as it is…..

If you ain’t die’n, you ain’t try’n.

…spelling and grammatical errors for effect only….

Edna does not approve…..

but I do!

Zerg is more fun for me. Also, it can be increasingly more challenging if you push yourself to face the champs head on. It’s up to you sit back and spam 1 or push!

It would be wise to assume the trends staying the same. Expect to have to skin everything….

I like to think of everything in game as mine, as the person who spent the time and money to do it in the real world. Not focus on the avatar or multiple avatars used during game play. Thus, everything should be account bound.

I think this is a really important question. Once the items become account bound and we select the new stats, do they become soulbound on use or remain account bound? Similar in function to the Ancient Karka Shell.

Which leads me to my next question, being a celestial stat item, I’m guessing the Ancient Karka Shell is having it’s MF removed only? I bought gems to convert to gold for that thing at the time.

for time gating, how about if I want to put in 8+ hours over the weekend, instead of taking an hour out of each day. Dailies are annoying enough! Now more time gating on top of it. Increasing the amount I’d have to play, every day. Not just when I have the time for it.

This game is becoming more and more suffocating. There really isn’t a leisurely way to play it at all. Because if you do, you’ll end up feeling behind the curve. Time gating isn’t slowing down the hardcore, it’s hurting the casuals most.

Yeah, this game is WAY too conservative. To the point where our choice are ornate to OMG gaudy. I’m much rather have simpler, skimpier choices. Ones that end up looking far more classy and elegant in the end for me.

btw…. do you even play a Norn? If not gtfo with this thread. I have a whole roster of Female Norns. Do not appreciate being told what to do and what I have to look at every second of playing this game.

I wish they actually HAD racial bonuses. Would make the game more realistic. And, I could finally punt a lil Asura across a map!

Yes please! Because, I’ll be frank, for the most part I’m displeased by those in the art department. Most armors and weapons are overly ornate and asymmetrical. Don’t even get me started on this steam punk ick… We need way more classical, elegant, and simplistic designs. Which it appears will only come from user generated content.

After a year, there’s still only one look I’m moderately happy with per armor class. We should have more variety than one look for an entire year.

Yes, making meta items like the Zenith skins would be ideal. Because if there one thing that’ll get me to stop playing, it’s the economy. Next is the exclusivity of items like the recent Mr. Sparkles.

Just this morning I wanted to rage at Anet after finding out they flip flopped on the account status of meta items. I converted a Sclerite Dagger to an sPvP one because I had absolutely no use for it. Why not it had zero value sitting in my bank. I recall being irked at the time because a friend was dying for it and I couldn’t even give it to him. Now, since they flip flopped, it’s worth 116g! That’s like Lotto money to me. I couldn’t be more kitten ed at them for not thinking about us who converted it. Now even more kitten ed at myself for buying $65 worth of gems this month. Grrrr….

For buying parts of an item on the Gem store, yes please. Heck, I bought the chef outfit just for the sandals. Bought the Krytan armor twice just for the vest. So I’d be much happier with pieces too!

I’d like Field Marshal please with dyeable colors. TY

Being able to easily share you build would be nice. But, here’s the thing, most of the people asking for it are highly egotistical and only want it to enforce their view upon others. I’m certain Anet would have given this option to Casual players from day one. Because casual’s wouldn’t abuse it.

Maybe Queen Jenna could donate a Divinity’s Reach inspired Mystic Hot tub / fountain. Same basic design as the dragon though.

Hahahaha…… run cycle’s bother me too. Except, Norn’s are pretty much the only race in this game I can tolerate. I tried a female human but, there’s a pronounced lean forward and shoulder dip when you start running. Some little things like this drive me crazy.

Simply, I have a Sclerite Dagger skin I’d like to sell. Problem is, I converted it into an sPvP skin. Why, because I had no use for it at all and this was a way for it to not take up bank slots. As it was suggested to me to do.

I’m quite ticked off at Arena net for flip flopping and changing the rules on this. The remedy is simple, give us the the ability to converted these few sPvP skins BACK into PvE skins.

Please tell me you stumbled across this accidentally? I wish I knew so I could try it out before the patch.
