Guild Wars 2

fuzzypanda.9365:

Why shouldn’t we fight back?

bring in more people to beat them down.

what is stopping you?

uberkingkong.8041:

You can glory farm all you want in hotjoin, however rank point farming in hotjoin is unacceptable.

They need to limit rank point cap to 200 in hotjoin.

why limit the rank point cap to 200 in hot join?

i think there is already a limit in place.

Marcus Greythorne.6843:

I disagree with the OP. Some achievements which take TONS of time and commitment are equally worth as daylies which I get in a few minutes.

Bad design.

give more achievement points for those achievements!!!

what if, he is just trolling the /map /team /say chat and not really “scamming” people?

would he still get a suspension?

GoldenTruth.2853:

No time machine. Make the events/zones/dungeons more permanent (dungeons return as fractals or permanent with a token vendor). Keep the story instances and achievements exclusive to the relevant living story.

well, i think they are very much insist on temporary contents, hence living story.

now we can only beg for a time machine to have a chance to re visit past living story events.

aydenunited.5729:

I’ve never before played a game of such quality that literally handicaps any new player for how the actual game should be played quite as much as this game. It’s really astounding how awful 8v8 gameplay is,

do you know what is casual and not casual?

and then people wonder why tPvP is so terrible at entry level without a full team.

perhaps they should get a team for themselves?
do you see people participate in dota 2, counter strike, etc tournaments with a random team?

8v8 teaches incorrect sPvP techniques and encourages farming glory over actual sPvP experience.

no. it is not incorrect.

8 vs 8 = casual sPvP
5 vs 5 = not casual sPvP

there is nothing wrong.

what is very wrong is, that you people are forcing not casual sPvP down casual sPvP ’s throat.

Palador.2170:

I want it. I don’t think we’ll get it.

hmmm well i think we definitely will not get it, if no ones bands together and asks for it.
i.e. 0% chance.

but …

i think, that,
if a lot, a lot of people unite together, asks for it.

well, maybe got 1% of happening.
hey, its better than 0% right?

nah. i prefer to use those last ten seconds to score some more kills.

whee!

aydenunited.5729:

And they are all terrible.

what is all terrible?

aydenunited.5729:

Then it’s intended to turn any would be PvPers completely off of actual PvP.

Fifa 13… you think 11 v 11 is a match? Try 30 v 30! It’s even BETTER!

If you think hockey is great as it is, you’ve haven’t seen 25 v 25 yet, it’s even better.

I could continue but the joke’s not funny. Neither is 8v8, it’s terrible.

well, for 11 vs 11, 30 vs 30, 25 vs 25, there is WvW for that.

sPvP supports 10 vs 10 max at the moment but those are only on custom servers and so far i noticed that no one plays in those 10 vs 10 games.

but for 8 vs 8 games i still see lots of 8 vs 8 games room going on daily.
this tells me that there are people who enjoy casual 8 vs 8 games on a daily basics.

8 vs 8 may be terrible for you, but i am sure there are many more who enjoy it.

tl; dr
8 vs 8 or 10 vs 10 “hot joins” is “casual” sPvP
team sPvP or tournament is “non casual” sPvP
both caters to a different group of players.

you cannot force casual players to become not casual players.
did you forget that guild wars 2 is a casual online game?

Stof.9584:

- Glory farming = zerging.

strength in numbers! working as intended!

- No one defends points (key aspect of the conquest gametype).

well, maybe true for most of the time, people sometimes people still do defend points.

then again maybe they realized glory comes in faster if they flip the point.
again, casual farming glory sPvP, working as intended.

- No teamplay: general disregard for allies (doesn’t affect personal glory gain).

though i noticed that most people will not help allies, revive allies, still, sometimes i did experience a much needed revive etc.

then again, people zerging together can be considered working together and certainly is not “no teamplay” or “general disregard for allies” the way i see it.

- Random joining / leaving affects teamspirit and social motivation.

it is a casual form of sPvP, for people to have some fun fighting each other, killing each other, scoring points.

did you play counter strike, team fortress 2 before?
guild wars 2 sPvP 8 vs 8 / 10 vs 10 is the same thing.
casual team PvP.

counter strike tournaments are 5 vs 5 though.

- Lack of educational aids <> initial learning curve of the gametype.

well, casual sPvP is different from tournament sPvP anyway.

- Varrying skilllevels makes it unenjoyable for both new and veteran players.

players need to train in tournament, for tournament sPvP.
hotjoins is casual sPvP, not for training purposes.

- Autobalancing restricts playing with friends.

while this may be true to some extent, what is stopping you from getting 10 friends together and find an empty 10 players 5 vs 5 room?

- Gap between Hotjoin and Tournaments on multiple fronts.

hotjoin = casual
tournament = not casual

this is working as intended.
not everyone enjoys tournament or not casual type of sPvP.

- Map rotation: no one likes Raid of the Capricorn.

not really. i like Raid of the Capricorn.
i am sure there are others who like it too.

- 8v8 is an unplayable mess of AOE and spamming.

not playable for you perhaps, but i still see 8 vs 8 games going on every day.

8 vs 8 or 10 vs 10 “hot join” is working as intended.

please dun fix what is not broken.

if must insist on 2 weeks new content then at least give people 3 – 4 weeks to complete the achievements!

Dhar.6392:

Introduction of Fractals caused me to quit the game… for 6 months. I’m only back here because I got sick of the phishing emails looking to take over and abuse/sell my account.

That said- I’m reading the same grievances I read 6 months ago. That alone almost makes me grateful- obviously I haven’t missed anything. SSDD

I keep looking for something to indicate Anet wants to become something other than a Wow derivative. Today they are no different than Wow, Rift, Aion, etc… lump them all together.

Sorry- I’m just disappointed. What folks I knew have either been banned or moved on. Game seems relatively unchanged in 6 months.

hmmm but guild wars 2 is different from WoW and Rift. I did not play Aion before though.

I did play WoW and Rift before so i know the difference between them and guild wars 2.

Zindrix.1750:

It costs 68g alone for the bloods on a zerker backpiece. Seems a little silly to me.

aye the price is ridiculous!

hence i’m trying to find out if there are any other people in this part of the forum who welcomes alternative methods to obtain ascended items.

especially the back item.

it is played quite often.
perhaps you were just online at the wrong time.

what is your time zone by the way?

Sea of Sorrows has more oceanic time zone players.

Do you want an Asura Time Machine?

So you can re-visit previous living story events and complete the achievements!

Well, maybe not really applicable for annual returning festive events such as Mad King Halloween and Wintersday, but for one time events such as Flame and Frost, Secret of Southsun, Dragon Bash + Sky Pirates etc it would be nice and convenient, yes?

Yes? No? Why?

Lets hear it from the people!

AntiGw.9367:

Gizmo.9178:

It sucks but this is your fault :P

It’s not his fault (don’t blame the victim), but it was nonetheless a very stupid thing to do.

it is indeed his / hers fault for not using the trading post.

2 weeks is not really enough if the content are bug ridden!

Nick.6972:

Great, now your stats are +5% better.

The problem i see is that people get a placebo effect that if they are not wearing ascended, they are as good as closed to naked compared to those who have it. 5% of 1,000 is 50 in a game where the max damage is in the range of 7-9k it is really insignificant.

Max damage is 40k+ with Warrior 100-blades, the final hit alone hits for 18k for me, and I’m not even full berserker. If you consider a berserker stat:

An ascended has 20+ power, 10+ precision and some extra crit damage more than an exotic.
12 ascended have 240+ power, 120+ precision and 10%+ crit damage

This is really significant.

Pls screenshot with 40k +.

^ +1

You know we are talking about WvW right?

40k for a full hundred blades cycle, I wrote that clear. Yes, also in WvW, though one player won’t ever stand still and let a warrior go about him, if he would, the warrior will make a neat corpse of him.

well, what should people do is, make the victim exhaust all stun breakers, then immobilize and the warrior moves in to slice up the victim.

anyway, i’m sure they will be people who wants or do not wants ascended armor and weapons!

let their opinions be heard!

ronpierce.2760:

Team fortress 2, they also have reachable armor/content, its not hard to get, in my opinion, and they also have very editable custom rooms, that’s one of the big things that keep people on other games like Minecraft too, so I would venture to say your comparison is apples and oranges.

Kaon.7192:

Team Fortress 2 both have massive inflows of community created content every single day, whether it be weapons, skins, maps, so there is ALWAYS something to work towards and look forward to.

They’re two of the few instances of horizontal progression done right.

GW2’s pace of content expansion in the cosmetics department is laughable in comparison.

true, but, team fortress 2 did not have so many “custom skins” during release.

but back then, people still play team fortress 2, right?
and … it is casual hot join friendly team pvp game … yes?

give gw2 spvp some time, i’m sure it will work out right … somehow!

though at the moment, we need to keep reminding them to make appropriate changes!

Blackwyn.8127:

In terms of where the achievement points come from. A balanced aspect should look something like:
PvE: 70%
s/tPvP: 16%
WvW: 14%

hmmmm i disagree.

achievements, that, obviously, takes much more time and effort to achieve, should give significantly more achievement points.

Menaka.5092:

I hope ANet considered that achievement points rewarded by an achievement should be related to the time invested, while working on the next patch. It’s silly to think that you can get more AP from burning paper dragons and such than from killing 250k people in wvw…

exactly!

but i think most WvW people do not care much about achievement points also … O_O

or am i wrong?

azizul.8469:

of course 1 month la unker…….

2-week update to fast laaa.. can’t keep up…. not young anymore…..

o hai there!
hahah yalor. not enough time.

emikochan.8504:

They have teams working on large long-term contents. The 2 week releases are to fill the gaps.

I like this. If you aren’t even playing more than twice a month, do you really care enough about the game to care about content updates? :P

well i play everyday though casually. say 1 – 3 hours per night.

so far, still manageable though.

1 month allows more breathing space, more time off from guild wars 2 to do other things, play other games etc.

other wise, it is a dash to finish the time limited achievements as fast as possible, so, not to miss out the opportunity to do them when the event is over.

NinjaEd.3946:

Dragon bash has been opened for much longer than 2 weeks. Updates every 2 weeks doesn’t mean content lasting 2 weeks.

but aetherblades content only last 2 weeks.

womble.2153:

Dragon Bash hasn’t vanished just because the Aetherblades have appeared.

but aether blades will vanish soon.
it only last around 14 days.

floppyjr.3459:

2 weeks is fine if more of the added contents are permanent.

what if, folks only have 2 weeks to attempt to finish all the limited time achievements?

aye i re posted this in the main general discussion forum.

seems faster and more replies there.

Esplen.3940:

I want ANet to do what they want.

so this means you want 2 weeks then?

Meglobob.8620:

A proper expansion with new character classes, a new proper set of zones, you know like the ones we had at launch with a epic storyline revolving around a dragon…

hmmm i want that too.
i believe everyone wants that.

but for the time being, we get 2 weeks content shoved down our throats.

i wanna find out what everyone else thinks.

2 weeks … or 1 month?

a simple question:

what do you want?
2 weeks events?
1 month events?

.
.
.
.
.

for me, i want 1 month.
2 weeks is too short.

for example, some people may go on a 2 weeks holiday and missed out an event.
so, you want 2 weeks or 1 month?

a simple question:

what do you want?
2 weeks events?
1 month events?

for me, i want 1 month.
2 weeks is too short.

for example, some people may go on a 2 weeks holiday and missed out an event.

so, you want 2 weeks or 1 month?

some more time extension would not hurt.

my brother was having a holiday trip in china for 2 weeks and he missed out much of this 2 weeks event.

please consider rewording the emails sent to the unfortunate victims.

for example,

your guild wars 2 account has been terminated for the following reasons:
- aaa
- bbb
- ccc
if you think this is a mistake, please contact support.

thank you.

instead of:

We have complete confidence in our detection and in our decision to terminate the account. Therefore, we will not accept an appeal in relation to this account termination.

The decision to terminate the account is final. This decision has been thoroughly reviewed by our team, and we maintain absolute confidence in our conclusion.

The account will remain permanently closed and is not eligible for reactivation under any circumstances.

and

I want you to know that we take great care when analyzing accounts prior to termination. NCsoft support staff is both diligent and conservative in determining which accounts are using these programs, and we only terminate an account only after we are able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that such use has occurred

As previously mentioned, we are confident that our detection systems are accurate. A review of the violation history confirms the account termination, and we will not entertain further discussion about this incident. Subsequent tickets will be closed without response.

how can you guarantee that there will be no bugs errors from your side again in the future?

you cannot guarantee that.

please, please consider changing the email templates.

deviller.9135:

5 points in daily if you want to get the prize. Other than that, each activity only reward you with 1.

Balance ? Not really. Working as intended ? Yes.

Compare: legendary: 5, each activity in daily: 1

what if,
Compare: legendary: 5,000, each activity in daily: 1[/quote]

now, would that make people happier?

Celeras.4980:

While 5 points per day may seem insignificant, realize this: 5 points is the same amount awarded for crafting a legendary weapon, for buying a full set of cultural armor for 100g, or for killing 500,000 dolyaks in WvW.

None of that mattered previously, achievement points were a meaningless number. Once you start rewarding that meaningless number.. now the imbalances matter.

simple fix really.
INCREASE the achievement points gained from challenges that TAKES A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT to achieve!

now everyone is happy!

Straegen.2938:

Don’t list one of if not the easiest to get as an example. Take a kittene like Yak Slapper. That one will probably never be hit at least not for years to come and even then it will take some hard core yak killing to get. 1 million yaks… wowsa!

Astralporing.1957:

Olvendred.3027:

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

karma, coins, laurels etc other forms of grind is “massively cheaper” you mean? how so?

100k karma = 23 dailies. That’s actually quite a bit less than the cheapest ascended gear bought for laurels.

23 dailies is 23 laurels. You can buy amulets for either 30 laurels or 20 laurels and 250 badges. Seems comparable to me. If you think that such a small difference is an outrage, though, change it to 125k karma.

Of course, laurel prices of ascended eq are ridiculously high, but that’s a matter for separate discussion.

Olvendred.3027:

Which, incidentally, is still why 23 dailies is not a reasonable amount. It’s a hard to get item.

Circular logic (it is a hard to get item, so it should be a hard to get item) is circular.

125k karma seems fair also.
well, the 100k karma was an example number to begin with.

oh, amulets have more stats too.
among the 6 trinkets i think back item give the less stats!

hard, time consuming challenges should give more achievement points.
i.e. current WvW achievements tiers. which is really ridiculous.

easy, less time consuming challenges should give less achievement points.
i.e. daillies.

so what do you WvW people think?

more tiers. more achievement points rewards.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

Dailies obviously need to be removed from the reward system of achievement points.

no, it does not needs to be removed.

Otherwise you will get horrible point inflation and completely exclude new players from the game.

no. it does not exclude new players from the game.

Here is an example: Currently the top players have between 8000-10000 points. Almost half of those points come from dailies and monthlies. In another 6 months, 70% of their points will come from dailies and monthlies. This will continue to spiral out of control.

this is working as intended.
there is nothing wrong.

Lets look at a potential reward system.

Teir 1: 500 points
Tier 2: 1k
Tier 3: 2k
Tier 4: 3k
….
Tier 11: 10k

Without dailies you wouldn’t even be able to make it past tier 5 in this system, which means to get to tier 10 you would have to do every daily every day for 6 months or so even if you achieved everything in the game. This becomes purely another daily reward system, not an achievement award system.

the achievement points is always about spending more time playing the game.
more time spent playing the game means more achievement points.

it is just that simple.

i think it is bad RNG.

Olvendred.3027:

You’ve backed off denying it’s massively cheaper, then.

i insist it is a reasonable grind.
and definitely not massively cheaper.

Which, incidentally, is still why 23 dailies is not a reasonable amount.

it is a reasonable amount.
it may be massively cheaper to you though.
but for many people, i believe it is a reasonable amount.

It’s a hard to get item.

the special display skin is hard to get.
basic icon, no special display skin should not be hard to get.

You need to put in a bit of effort to get an ascended backpiece, rather then just sitting back and letting it fall into your lap.

for special display skin, yes, some grind is acceptable.
but, for basic icon, no special display skin. at least 100k karma or 23 dailies is a reasonable bit of effort and not an outrageous grind.

And, as discussed earlier, it’s a tiny stat increase above exotic.

not very tiny when all 6 trinkets add up, and when ascended armors and weapons are shoved down our throats.

Across one item. If you don’t feel it’s worth the effort, don’t get it. If you do, do.

i gotten one for my warrior.
its worth the effort for the special inventory icon and special display skin and max ascended stats.

but i do not fancy the special icon and special display skin.
i do not show the back item anyway.

so it is very fair and reasonable to have a basic icon, no display skin ascended back item.

and amulet
and rings
earrings too.

well, 23 dailies is a reasonable amount.

I hope that is what happened, but there were no enemies for him to attack in the area nor did I see his attack animations once. I also had eyes on him for a good 2 minutes before I began my attack – he did not hit anyone.

before those 2 minutes, he was attacking a keep, he left.

then he met up with you.

while downed, his friends captured the keep, and he gained some exp.

I would like to buy skins (and also ascended items with better stats) with karma.

if special skin, then leave it as it is, grind.
if max stats, basic simple icon, no special skin, then less grind please. i.e. karma.

Also black lion chest keys and so on.

this is asking for too much as this is a gem store item.
not a reasonable request.

I also doubt we`ll ever live to see that happen.

karma for ascended items is fair.
just have to wait until they implement it.
