Guild Wars 2

ColinJohanson.2394:

One of our goals for 2013 will be evaluating all of the bosses and creatures in the game, from open world to dungeons, to try and make them more exciting and fun to fight against.

In general if anything has a really high health pool, it needs to have unique abilities to make it exciting for the entire time, or actually change abilities/tactics as it goes down in health to ensure it stays fun and exciting to fight against.

We realize there are a number of bosses in the game, from the open world to instances that all can be more fun to fight than they are now. We’ll be tackling that this year in part of our goal to make our core game as strong as possible.

Thats great but what about loot drops ?

Can anyone suggest a pet that works in dungeons ?

All melee pets are totally useless , i can see ranged pets doing ok

I am hoping Rangers in future can do things with out pets and hopefully can rely on making a more powerful build for just players to play with no pet at all

Pets are ok in open world play only i feel

Same happened to me ended up doing a treble post lol

Hey all , just like to list alternate dye colours for black n white , that are really cheap

celestial/white = Icing
Abyss/black = Midnight teal/ Midnight ice/ and Pitch

check these out on certain armour you can barely tell a diffrence between the more expensive variates

If anyone knows any other add them please TY

Very poorly informed indeed , you do NOT have to roll every class to 80 , goto heart of the mists and experiment away with all classes/gear/traits , heres the good bit it all costs you nothing ….

Merlin Dyfed Avalon.5046:

thank you..

DD: Double dagger
Cc: …?

DD = Damage Dealer

Grok.6714:

BBW

Building Bay Waypoint

I thought BBW = Big bueatiful woman

lol

Two random guys in LA , hey man hows the achievements going ?

Yeah good have 15k points now , been here sinch launch salvaging

:P

Im still enjoying it and will do for many years to come welcome aboard newbie

Any news ? bring back lionguard lyns

FOTM is more interesting and has much better loot table , jad maw gives lots of cores aswell as rares/exotics

I have ran both fotm and older dungeons and the comparison between and enjoyment and loot is really high

Better Loot scaling And old dungeons reworked
G v G
W v W improvements
Quality of life improvements , UI , TP , LFG , preview

Horheristo.3607:

They slashed 1.7k points off my account, never to be returned (after being promised for a fix).
I’m done with racking up points.

From agent of entropy ? Elaborate please

To a lot of people its the fact they look so much cooler than rest of the weapons , simple

Totally agree m8 ,

1000 points ( insert title )
2000 points ( insert title ) + reduced waypoint costs
3000 points ( insert title ) + new armour/skins/weapons

something like this would have been much better

Can we have a cap or have the Agent of Entropy removed and peoples points deducted .

It is making other achievement points gained worthless

I use Achievement points as a players experience in the game and seeing a player with 3,000 points who has not got a clue how to play makes me really sad

It needs fixing a player should not be able to salvage allday long n have more points than an actual good experienced player

ty in advance im sure you know this is broken

Ive seen players with just the helm etc from other sets so you can just use 1 piece or all

Weapon skill choices / customization of builds
Guild v Guild pvp with observe and in game rankings
Guild halls
Weapon drops from dungeons to use/sell
Titles you can scroll mouse n see on players and yourself
Weekend Events

Love gw2 tho

Well As the conversion rate is horrible , you would be better off getting captian commendations 4 exotics gives 600 tokens , Black lion keys cost 285 tokens each

I would sooner have 2 keys than 1 gold anyday , hope this helps

RollingBob.8502:

I realize there are some combos that aren’t available, but given that we just got a new line I assume more will come over time. The Giver’s line introduced dozens of new exotics available for crafting, for instance.

What exactly are you wanting? Just more for the sake of more? That makes little sense.

Nice looking new armor/weapon skins , that are found in the world , i know we have the stats but but it all looks the same

Thanx Shu , i know about mystic forge recipes , im wanting a lot more player recipes for armour/weapons and other stuff etc

+ 1 to Colin for taking the time to post

Heres what im hoping for :

Guild halls
More guild perks + weekly guild quests pvp/pve
More weapon skill choices + elite weapon skills
Guild v Guild pvp
New exotic crafting recipes
TP preview feature
TP more detailed search options
Better loot scaling (Noway should Dungeon loot be better than zone Event loot )
New karma rewards
New Faction rewards ( Earned through doing Faction quests ) Vigil,Orders,Priory
W v W rewards and scoring improved
sPVP new game mechanics
Achievements , More titles And rewards for completing and ranking up

All i can think of for now hehe

Lionguard lyns im afraid could not get hold of any new stock so she decided to leave town lol

Is anyone working on crafting ? There needs to be exotic weapon/armour recipes drops either from dungeons or from world/zone events

I Quite enjoy the crafting in this game but i feel the mystic forge got all the good recipes and the players got nothing really ,

Any info appreciated or will it be swept under the carpet

Working on new content , Wv3 , Fixing bugs , Tweaking traits/class balance , Figuring out how to Make content worth doing for fair rewards/risk factor

Domain of anguish , Underworld , Fissure of woe , was all Amazing 8 man content from GW1 . Im not sure this games mechanics suit 8 man content sadly , not enough healing or tanking

Embers Hit hard , Also risen wizards with the blind spam

To the people complaining about ORR , It is a war zone an end game zone full of dangers it is not meant to just be run through easily . I Admit fighting your way through tons of undead for no rewards is horrible , but let me ask you guys this " If rewards were better would you still be complaining ?

GW1 players will remember Desolation area and Nightmare area , and understand , But you got uber loot from doing those areas

Yes well done Arenanet

Legendaries dont drop son lol

Well no patch here , Although There will be a patch later for sure

Just done branded mine , never done it or been there before , got the achievement but no monthly update

Can confirm , still stuck on 19/30 since yesterday , something is wrong

I used to play , now i only do the monthly kills really as for why ?

It feels meaningless and i dont like the scoring system and rewards

I have never been a fan of PVdoor

There is a new class being unveiled , thats confirmed on gwguru

Glad to see everyone here is enjoying the new gear grind, and that it has helped bolster GW2’s population.

Looks like, in the end, an open world gear plateau game like pre-Nov 15th GW2 is not nearly as popular as an instance grinder like the current GW2.

Looks like Arenanet chose wisely in pursuing the footsteps of WoW.

It’s all the long-term unemployed wanting to do something that feels like work.

^^ this is true lol im one of them

The game is very biased to ranged/kite n dodge if this helps make your choice

Check out wiki , top of the page thats the best option for research

Akari Storm.6809:

P.S. I miss touch rangers. One of the cheesiest builds in GW1 to last since proph.

(made me feel like a psuedo vampire, necros were the real vampires)

lol i can remember smoking a guild lord in gvg in seconds with 8 touch rangers on gank lord race , was epic

Blackwolfe.5649:

How is it making the game trivial?

It seems we have a no loot no point attitude , Events and group events are never cleared , temple Events in orr , mostly all contested ?

People are just all running fractals its such a mess atm , im hoping it gets resolved before nobody left

Garambola.2461:

Glint’s baby or babies will appear in the game sometime. One of the devs said that much in a post I read a long time ago. That was the extent on that though.

Glints babies > all :P

Only need to do the map once Titles are account bound , but you will need skill points

I think the patch on 3 rd of January will have some loot changes for sure , its making the game trivial

Glint > all others lol

Star Ace.5207:

To be honest, the things I do miss from GW1 could still be implemented, and the game is very different, although in the same spirit. Many things have remained the same. The biggest problem I currently see is them trying to cater to too many players by saying “provide vertical progression with zero grind.” I have utterly ignored Ascended gear until they fully figure it out (it’s sheer beta at the moment.) I dislike Vistas and Jumping Puzzles, but more because I don’t find Mario type games as fun as I used to when I was younger, and have become used to turn-based strategy/RPG games with minimal movement. They could be more forgiving, IMHO, because not all types of player are good at them (I am VERY bad at jumping puzzles, falling way too many times, which takes out any purported fun they are supposed to provide.) Despite the ocassionally hectic combat, I still like GW2 combat a big deal, despite it being too action-oriented for my usual, favored playstyle. I remember having to adapt to it for many weeks, but now it’s second nature. I just thought to myself that it’s good, becuase it’s a different game-an “evolution” (or devolution, for many of its detractors.) I still think they may e able to add more features that harken back to GW1 while taking nothing away from the new game.

Things like:

-Guild Halls

-Seeing your own mapping star and titles (I honestly don’t see why implementing this is a problem in anyway or fashion-developers, feel free to say why can’t we self-target so we can see our own accomplishments/titles?)

-A few new dungeons that are similar to the old ones players were used to, minus the “trinity” system

-Polish: GW1 was almost always a polished, clean game experience. Granted, the new engine may be harder to program.

-Guild Capes, for those who loved to wear them. Alternatively, full Guild armor sets, as opposed to a few pieces here and there.

-Lessened difficulty that requires deeper strategy, but making party wipes more probable. Most dungeons IME are not that hard, because spawning points make it so people can return to fight forever. And what I mean by “lessened difficulty” is not to make dungeons easy, but rather turn down the one shotters-way too many.

I may have forgotten afew things, but I believe GW2 could still be more “GW1-like” for many of the old players without actually being GW1 or having to compromise the new concepts behind GW2.

While I loved GW1’s complexity, I must add that the elitists ALWAYS found ways to only use the SAME skills and builds over and over beause they were more “effective”-which means that even though GW1 had a pretty diverse and fun selection of skills, most people ended up using very few of them (the “best” ones, of course). Healer’s Boon was the preferred Elite for many healing Monks, even though there were (is) such a big amount of skills, elites or otherwise, to choose. In this new game, it’s harder to claim that only this or that build is “effective”, and gameplay heavily favors personal taste (meaning, you can be an affective team member whichever way you wish to play, granted you play relatively well.) I don’t feel as if I must play a “full DPS Guardian”, because the DPS role, though many still pursue it, is not something I MUST do in order to do well in the game, either solo or with allies. In short, the new combat system is not as bad as some make it to be vs GW1, once you get used to its mechanics, and despite the lesser choice of skills, one is actually freer to play and join up with others with builds that work FOR YOU rather than following the latest, supposedly “more effective”, “meta” builds.

^ this is spot on what we miss badly and need in GW2 amongst other things GVG + ingame rankings

Its not a LFG problem , there is LFG.com , The problem is No Loot No point

Hmm thanks to the real answers i agree also

I Have played a lot , but its not a patch on gw1 atm , i have to say its lacking in many ways , mainly end game , crafting , loot drops , dungeons , pvp . all those arent as good as gw1 imo

Nov 15 th , veterans and champions are now guaranteed to drop loot ? huh where ?

The fact is bad loot means people just skip most of the game tbh and that hurts the most

Arsenic Touch.7960:

I haven’t seen an extra item from daily’s since… lost shore? probably before that. I’m convinced they nerfed the drops. Haven’t seen a key drop since forever either. Can’t have gem store items showing up outside the gem store, that’s bad for business.

Best way to get keys is clearing zones + captain commendations
