Guild Wars 2

Sorry to read this. I ran into the “Unique” business when the “Lost Shores” event ended. I bought Gems with real money, converted them to Gold, and proceeded to buy 1,000 Karka shells on the Trading Post. All to be able to purchase a second Ancient Karka Shell. Only afterwards when trying to equip it did I find out I cannot. This was the first unique item in the game and it made me very angry.

At least they are never soul bound items. I’m not a fan of soul binding what so ever. The mechanism only exist to propagate the need for more and more from us. As if we do not spend enough time and money on this game as it is

There isn’t? Then there should be yes!

I like the idea of housing and more. Anything that adds more dimension to this narrowly focused game. Right now it’s all about killing! All rewards are based on killing. There’s more to our lives than that. Please add something we can build!

This game certainly sends out mixed messages. Is it about the virtual character or the end user? For me, it should be about us, the actual living person. With less concern given to or control over the avatars we chose to use. For in the end, we can only use one at a time. And, any control mechanism will create frustration..

It’s like having a drivers license. We can have many cars but, use one at a time. Any tickets or accidents are on us, the individual, not the vehicle. My good driving credit is under my name, not the vehicle…

Habib, if I may, please focus more on the individual.

I’m glad Selan posted that video. I was actually looking for it before I scrolled to see if anyone else did. That video makes me laugh every time

Golem rushes aren’t as frequently used as they used to be on T1. At least they really don’t bother me enough to take notice. Now Treb’s on the other hand…. As my newer main has been an Ele, that should tell you how much of a love/hate relationship I have with Treb’s. :-) Love to use them, hate trying to defend against them. Though can do both effectively. So, it really all works out in the end.

…Umm… and on a happier note

As a long time JQ’er, I wish to thank the person on the page prior for the video link. Most kind of you to post that for us. Though, I’d much rather send this back out to all of you that spend hours and hours working hard in WvW. No matter the labels that divide us, it’s earned by every GW2 player. Because it’s GW2 that unites us.

Jayne…. on my to do list is certainly to guest on TC. I have a feeling my main would fit right in

No.. I noticed a difference in difficulty too. Maybe a bug, maybe purposeful, idk…

Disasembler 3BEK available again please. Another title say’s it all thread. I dislike having small stacks of salvage kits as we have now. The Disasembler was a great item.

Also, I’m annoyed that once again, content was abruptly removed without a warning date. I have 750 or more Captain’s Council Commendation sitting in my bank.

For such things that have value, please give us EXACT dates. That’s easily a loss of over 5 Gold for me.

I would love to see the data set on WvW. I wouldn’t be surprised is Arenanet is tracking class population, equipment, kills to death ratio’s, siege and supply used per class, and pretty much everything that transpires in WvW.

From my experience in T1, it appears Thieves have been a high population class with an innately high k/d ratio. To balance the classes, I still believe the Ranger should be the Thieves antagonist. In an RPG setting, whom better right?

^Don’t encourage the Dev’s. They way they’ve treated Thief’s, you’ll probably get it

For the now made useless in WvW Ranger, I’d like is our pet’s having the ability to always detect pray. Think about it, sense of smell and sound, they really should.

Now we’re talking about a skill making Rangers useful again. Meanwhile giving stealth finally it’s first Achilles’s heal.

Yes, stealth is OP. Yes, Culling is a huge issue in the game. Just walk around the Mystic Forge in Lions Arch and watch how people disappear at what appears to be 40-50ft in real world values. That’s how broken culling is. 20+ invaders can be that close before they render if at all before you die.

I will add though, someone high up in Anet must be infatuation with Thieves. It’s the only explanation for the class.

The problem with this is, no matter how good a Commander is, there are variables outside of their control. No win situations will occur as to no fault of themselves. Thus, the Commanders whom take it easy and go after softer targets will get up voted. Then the Commanders on during off peak coverage or forced to face some of the PVP heavy (way too serious) Guilds will get wiped and down voted. No matter how Superior they may be as a Commander.

It will also become a Facebook popularity contest. Where Commanders in the larger guilds will get more votes anyway.

Commander voting isn’t a good idea. As as world, we work as a collective. Anything that makes one special, takes away from the collective. It’s that simple.

I feel for those this effects. I don’t understand why they would change it. Better stated, from my eye’s, I can’t see how someone on the Dev team thought this looks nicer.

If I was in charge, I would simply have BOTH available. Give the people, CHOICES! Why not have available both ver.1 and ver.2? Seems like it would always be the best solution in this situation.

Completely agree, we the End User is what is important. Not the virtual avatar of us in the game. Soul binding should not exist in any form.

Wait…. I’ve spent my time on the game this weekend on JQ BL leveling a Mesmer alt. Up to 16!!! But, was I supposed to take it Oh SOooo…. seriously as others are???

:)

I’d rather not have a game promote tattoo’s, TY

The titles say’s it all. How many times do we go to the Trading Post and have to sift through armor that our classes can’t use? A simple “Light, Medium, Heavy” check box or pull down would solve this. Should be super easy to do too. The data set’s are already in the system. It’s just a filter….

Would save SO much time and trouble. Am I right?
PLEASE… dev’s????

They should allow profession swapping once you hit 80. Why should we get stuck spending 60 gold to craft up a replacement character?

Soulbound should be done away with completely. Because all you end up with is a feeling of being “BOUND”. This game is filled with this sensation of being limited, bound, and controlled. It’s not a good feeling and really takes away from the game. Let’s us be creativity and use the item we earn as we please…..

Not to mention, they way they jerk around the professions (balancing) there isn’t any guarantee they won’t ruin the character you’ve spent all that time and money on.

Venting and have to ask, “Are you kidding me with this???” My pet can’t even Guard the wall of our OWN towers now. What were you thinking? Does anyone actually play for fun or just have some caffeinated adrenaline rush?? What age group are these people?

Dodging and shooting arrows is all we have left, oh boy that’s imaginative. The FUN was having pets scale wall’s and do things. Where’s the imagination and creativity of your balance team?

You gutted the only real magic the class had….. Really sad

300k influence???? That’s the price point of these things? Yeah, we’ll be playing Guild Wars 5 before my family Guild earns that.

Pfft…. ridiculous too expensive.

And then Anet wonders why WvW, especially T1, is littered with highly annoying permastealth Thieves. Oy joy….

Was SO happy with the update. Until I went in the water and now Raging mad at this. You are trying to remove the evade portion from the skill aren’t you? The next question is WHY??? Why is it when we find the littlest thing that makes the game easier you have to take it away?

This isn’t an oop’s, this was purposeful. A Mesmer’s Spear EVADES, just as a Mesmer’s Sword EVADES!! Of all the things to nerf, nerf stealth! Which everyone other than a thief complains is too powerful and really brings down gameplay.

I hate dodger too. If you are really good at avoiding damage, your skill at it will be faster than what the AI considers an “Evade”. I literally have to stand still and kitten it in PvE to get an “evade” to pop. Otherwise, I roll into a zerg just to get this daily requirement. Not fun, amusing, or entertaining.

For dodging as a game mechanic, I think it’s a mundane and juvenile attempt at creating drama and/or inducing an adrenaline response in players. Which isn’t even a healthy physiological response to purposefully evoke. Especially when they know they have a player base that play’s for hours per session.

tl:dr, Dodging is overrated. Anet needs to hire more mature workforce to balance the game out.

Maybe a new inventory box/bag where Soulbound items go to first would help in the meantime???

Using the inventory is complete garbage and the Dev’s should have caught how annoying this would be to players long term. Nothing’s worse than accidentally selling or breaking down items you actually use in your build because they go to the first available slot. Just like all the other loot and items we pick up along the way. Heck, I’m now using Lionguard items just because their icons in the inventory are easier to spot.

I would like a retooling of the hero tab and weapon swaps completely. We should be able to set up say, up to 4 presets. Swapping between 2 in and 4 out of combat. Here’s the best part Anet, I’d actually PAY for this…… Anything to lessen the growing list of annoyances in this game.

Agree’d!!!! I have idea’s I’d love to create for my Guild. The I.P. property rights of the content creator would have to be fully given to Anet. Then the item would be purchasable by everyone on the Trading Post.

We wouldn’t have something exclusive for Guild’s or individual’s. But, we would have an extra variable of choice for creativity.

Leveling up a couple of new toons and wondering why WayFarer isn’t being as kind with the bonus XP. Now I know!!!!

Yes, WvW is certainly the only place in the game where your wealth actually diminishes while playing.

Once again it’s the broken reward system set up by the game developers. Whom deem Dungeons and Jumping puzzles as the most important part of the game. And, everyone MUST do them for some freaking reason. And yes, they are a MUST if you wish to play WvW because you will literally go bankrupt if you WvW only.

If Armor repair and siege was for Karma, then WvW would work much better.

Can I just have a stylish utility belt instead of those back packs????
TY… happiness x 5 for that alone!

btw…. I’ve never asked my group or individual to verify their AR or any gear. I have faith in them and run the run. Then adapting to the needs of the run by bringing in extra gear/supplies to accommodate any needs that may arise.

Never…. EVER…. should this be promoted. We live in a world where we need to foster inclusivity, tolerance, and community. A video game should not promote or reward exclusivity, period! Especially in the United States where narcissism is on an rapidly escalating high.

They should be usable everywhere. Less limitation = more creativity and fun!

It’s not like they are expensive or hard to get. It’s there for everyone to enjoy.

I agree as if I would have known Jumping Puzzles and Dungeons would have been the core to the game, I would have left it on the shelf….

I like the concept of an MMORPG. I love PvE’ing in the Shiverpeak Mountains. The music and naturescapes are quite impressive.

Then I seem to hit this ideology wall with the Dev’s. I’d much rather see an inclusive system, than an exclusive one. Rewarding only the large guilds that are already ahead, is to further punish the family guilds or stifle those that are just trying to start.

Glad I’m not the only person who hates the skirt tents! God awful to me…. And, I do agree that armor piece should be broken into visibility zones. A big one for me would be the sleeves and collars of chest armor. Especially the odd mesh ones, ick.

The only fix for stealth is to remove stealth completely. Worst idea in the game in my opinion.

It makes things interesting and annoying at the same time yes. But, I hope they keep it in….

Thus far, the downed state and rezzing only bothers me when defending in WvW. A perfect example would be an experience I had in QL. An invader thought he’d be cute and shoot up at me. Which ended up being a fatak mistake for him. Afterwardm as I was pummeling his corpse with an AC, one person was able to raise him and they both ran away. Now… in my opinion, if it’s raining arrows and you are already dead, that shouldn’t be possible. You should have to WP.

Here’s a gripe that’s been mentioned many times on the forums. I have no idea why it’s not being addressed yet. We’re 6 months in and still there’s no new styles. I wouldn’t mind if there was some flexibility to customizing our characters. But, there isn’t even a single pair of pant’s for light or heavy classes!!! For creativity’s sake, please add some.

The easy solution is to just duplicate or remove the armor restrictions on pants. Is it too much to ask?

Umm… just to give you some perspective, I went right into our JQ BL 3 hours ago. No Queue time at all. I queued for EB at the same time and it popped in a mere minute or two. Which correlates to the time when all the complaining about our number’s was occurring above.

In WvW the majority of the time I’m killed, it’s by thieves who are stealthed. Yet, it’s Ele’s that need nerfing? Riiiiiiiight…….

Quite obvious there’s someone high in the company that likes being a thief.

I"m curious of this too. Was just in WvW and a character had 18 buffs/boons on him. Including those from Bear, Wolf, Raven, and Snow Leopard. But, they had 44 minutes left.

Now how can a 10 minute food last 44 minutes????

It’s time for more customization across the board. From body shape, to hair, to clothes, to armor, to weapon skins, and everything in between Especially hair and armors….

No..no.. and even more no. Thieves, OY! always wanting more and more and more….

ummm…. I have a much much much easier solution. Remove any and all character related bindings. Everything should have been account wide from the beginning. This way you can simply use your favorite item’s on which ever character you wish to play that day. Simple and done…

For the Triforge, that’s a great amulet. Min/Maxing is over rated and short sighted. There’s nothing wrong with a balanced build.

Why is it that, even if there’s the slightest chance someone many earn some silver in this game, people feel the need to run on here and want it stopped??? It’s PvE!!!!

Why not complain about the imbalance in rewards between Dungeons, PvE, and WvW. You know, the big things

In the Feb 1st announcement on “Dynamic Leveling Adjustment” I’d like to point out something Isaiah Cartwright wrote. It was “While this will make some areas harder, our goal is to make all areas of Guild Wars 2 exciting and fun for players of any level.” I’d just like to point out, harder doesn’t equal fun. Fun is a completely different emotion. I do notice most of the game design is based upon a thought that challenge+adrenaline=Exciting and fun??? Which is simply not true….

Just something to think about for future design and content

To the OP, I think you meant to write GS Warrior. Because as a Shout Warrior wielding an Axe/Warhorn and Rifle combo I’m not OP at all. Now a zerk’d GS warrior build, yeah maybe.

Thieves need nerfing more than any other class. Some Dev has such a love affair with Thieves it’s getting ridiculous. Nerf Stealth first!!!

I’d just like to point out what’s already been mentioned above. Look at the amount of time it takes to get rings from Fractals compared to Laurels. The difference is HUGE! Not to mention, the only way to get Amulet’s is from Laurels. So spending them on rings is complete waste of time. We’re all be herded into Fractals whether we like it or not.

That is how Anet is dropping the ball to me. They are trying to social engineer our behavior instead of creating balance and equality.
