Guild Wars 2

do jumping puzzles in eternal battlegrounds and borderlands.

get badges much faster.

possibly lesser enemies to kill also in all 3 borderlands.

eternal battlegrounds jumping puzzle now that is another story.

errr no. just no.
lowering wvw population is a very bad idea.

Drauger.2158:

So If I gather enough people in any castle in any W3 map and defend it like it was the end of the world and you couldn’t siege it, will you still be writing/posting about it?

I’d take screen shots and document it as proof that the system is inevitably fallible and needs a rework.

the jumping puzzle inside eternal battlegrounds and each of the 3 borderlands are fine, working as intended.

there is no need to fix what is not broken.

please do not blame the game if you are unable to beat your enemies?

my guild group of 10+ strong people were taken out by a much smaller group before.

the jumping puzzles in WvW borderlands and eternal battlegrounds are all good, fine, working as intended.

please do not fix what is not broken.

thanks!

Ari.4023:

There are many things that take bank space aside from extra armor sets…

I like this idea alot, and it really should be in the game. Its a good question why the sPvP doesn’t already work this way, it really should.

i think it is easier to do it the current method, for sPvP.

this “smart armor systems” sounds like too much coding at all, possibly too many bugs etc. O_O

Zerah.2450:

This is extremely similar to an idea I had in the shower a few weeks ago, I never posted it since its such a radical change, but it’s an awesome idea, especially for costumes and hats.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

Pros:
- frees up inventory space.

I’m not sure if this is a pro or con in Anet’s eyes, bank/bag space is expandable via gems, this idea won’t help Anet make money.

true, but one can only expand the bag and bank slots a finite number of times.

with the smart armor system, as long as new skins / stats / runes are being rolled out, them “gotta get them all” players will continue to buy fine transmutation stones to save the armor skins stats runes etc.

bring in a bigger zerg to wipe them all out? it works!

Vennoth.7698:

If you feel you must comment at least read the thread properly.

No-one said 100% is compulsory. But we ARE forced to visit pvp (wvwvw- whatever) worlds IF WE WANT to get all the map .

SO for those of us that want 100% YES we ARE forced to visit pvp worlds.

Oh and I NEVER said I was blaming the game for not being able to get an achievement, so please don’t add your ignorance to theirs.

well in my point of view, what you wrote pretty much look like blaming the game for not able to get an achievement.

basically these 3 sentences:
“can you please swap the points necessary for 100% map completion AWAY from the pvp maps?”

“Those of us that love pve don’t think you are clever. You are stupid and childish for thinking you will involve us in pvp.”

“Those of us that love pvp don’t think you are clever. We don’t want pve carebears pissing and whining about having to come into our domain.”

Vennoth.7698:

for the love of everything can you please swap the points necessary for 100% map completion AWAY from the pvp maps?

Those of us that love pve don’t think you are clever. You are stupid and childish for thinking you will involve us in pvp.

Those of us that love pvp don’t think you are clever. We don’t want pve carebears pissing and whining about having to come into our domain.

So stop kittening about and give your players an option to keep us all happy – after all it isn’t like you got millions to pyss away – is it?

PVP map = pvp worlds
PVE map = pve worlds..

Cheers

WvW is PvE content as you can only enter it with your character’s PvE armor and weapons.

Taerik.3405:

I agree with you completly, the people that say ‘oh there are transmutations stones for this already’ Dont consider that the t stone destroys one of the items. I shouldnt be regrinding skins every time I want to change.

You ought to be able to both restat/reskin your gear and retrait your spec in town for a fee without having to visit a NPC

AND favorites ought to be saved (GW1 templates anyone?)

yar, this kind of system would actually encourage people to spend more in game currencies!

at the moment i think people would stop spending that much when their bank slots are all filling up.

Lutharr.1035:

use the same sytem as DCUO and have styles. But to save em u need to burn a transmute stone. U can change as much as u like without having to dick around with your gear constantly

aye, using a fine transmute stone to save them sounds fair enough to me!

what is DC universe online system like by the way?

Vennoth.7698:

Azure Prower.8701:

I wish people would come to see that WvW is not PVP only.

Tyria = PVE
The Mists = PVP
WvW = A mixture of PVE and PVP (aka ‘open world PVP’ as some like to term it)

Taking the PVE element out of WvW would kill WvW. It would make it nothing more than a larger version of sPVP.

I have no problem with anything you said

trouble is – not all of us are geared to pvp, want to pvp or wish to grant you lot easy kills – so once again we are back to pvp vs pve and the pve lot lose.

We are forced to visit “pvp” worlds to get all the achis – so please stop pissing about pretending otherwise..?

you are not forced to visit WvW.
100% world completion is not compulsory.

errr please do not blame the game if you are unable to achieve an achievement?

until the developers make an official statement i will treat this as “working as intended” feature.

the original guild wars works like this as well.

well, they were rage quiters in random arenas in guild wars 1, arenanet sort of fixed that by adding a “leavers debuff” so repeating rage quiters will not be able to join back in the random areana until the debuff expired.

we will probably see a “deserters debuff” for rage quiting in WvW in the near future.

Raiza.6538:

Is “ALT+F4ing” a legitimate way out…? More and more in WvW Im seeing alot of people just rage log when downed. I run solo (Mesmer) or with a Guardian friend most of the time (we’re both 80) and even if we’re outnumbered and down a few of the enemy, alot of them choose to close client before either being ressed or finished off. Its poor sportsmanship and there’s no penalty for death aside from a small repair bill so whats the point in cheesing it and relogging?

Any thoughts?

you are wrong.
if you tag them with enough damage before they dive, you will get the wvw kill and a chance for loot bag to spawn.

i just experienced this yesterday night.
me and a guildie were at the top of the well in eternal battlegrounds jumping puzzle.
both of us just gotten invisibility from the 2nd mystic well on top of the well.
then i spotted a IoJ thief (we were SoS) and me and my guildie (both warriors, invisible from mystic well) proceed to get near the thief and attempt to kill the IoJ thief.

i hacked him with my axe and then suddenly he just ran down some cliff and died.
then my guildie told me he feared him (via “fear me!” warrior shout) and the thief just ran off the cliff and died just like that.

both of us got the WvW kill count and i got loot bag with badges.

those who dive to die probably just wanna avoid repair fees.

Latinkuro.9420:

I believe this is an issue that needs addressing,
let’s say you’re fighting someone and simply because they know they will lose the fight they take a dive from the nearest cliff and die, now what happens is you are denied your loot and he avoids repair bills due to no armor break from falling damage.

I believe that if you’re fighting someone and he decides to take a dive and die it should still count as a player kill, why ? simple, he wasn’t out of combat fell and died ! NO, he was fighting a player and now that he is losing he wants to cheat you and the systems in place !

Here’s why:
1 – he only dived to avoid the death penalty and save money.
2 – he is trying to cheat the system and deny you your loot.
3 – he is also denying you of you monthly WvW achievement this way.

wrongly banning legitimate users is very wrong.

i believe anet should compensate the users at least for their errors.

Snow White.9680:

Why do you allow, and encourage players to grief others in wvw puzzles?

currently in EB there are 3+ players creating arrowcarts and balistas at the end room of the puzzle killing players so they cant complete it.

Why is this allowed? Why is this encouraged?

everything is working as intended.

please do not blame the game if you are unable to defeat your enemies.

Mammoth.1975:

If it weren’t for the fact that I still can’t server xfer to play with friends because half the servers are full 24/7 and the other half are high, you’d have a point. Too much time on forums not enough in game imo.

anet needs to ban all those botters / gold sellers then perhaps a lot of server space will be freed up.

Ross Biddle.2367:

One way to resolve might be to make all enemy players and siege invisible to a downed player.

Anyway, I had a chuckle one day when I came across a downed corpse. He was a member of the CCTV guild. Talk about blatantly rubbing the fact in.

ah that could be one of us.
we are the Choo Choo Train Volution [CCTV] casual guild from Sea of Sorrows.

anyway, regarding the issue of “corpse scouting” i see it as a valid tactic since players are not “dead” but merely “defeated” so yeah this is working as intended.

Alex.7914:

My real question is, is the Eternal Battlegrounds Jumping Puzzle meant to be done with a huge group of players in order to survive kittens camping?

well it depends if your home world server is able to control all 3 keeps in the eternal battlegrounds.

if your home world server controls all 3 keeps then there will be no hostiles inside the eternal battlegrounds jumping puzzle area. unless they were already inside there before the keeps were captured.

if all 3 home world servers hold their own keeps then expect to run into hostile players inside the eternal battlegrounds jumping puzzle area.

everything is working as intended.
try going in with at least four players.

anyone else for a smart armor system?

freely change the
- stats
- skins
- runs

of our armor when not in combat!

or if that is too much to ask for, perhaps at a special place some where.

everything is working as intended.

please do not blame the game if you are unable to defeat your enemies.

nice! more please!

dear Josh Foreman,

u did an excellent work with the mad king clock tower.
please remember that it is impossible to satisfy everyone.

make it challenging, then ppl will complain too hard.
make it not-challenging, then ppl will complain too easy.

keep up the good work!

the clock tower is awesome!

sure i felt extremely frustrated at first but the next morning i calmed down and gone it done.

so just “keep calm and keep on jumping!”

haters gonna hate anyway.

y u even delete it in the first place?

no. we wun get mounts. ever.

stop asking for them.

make it so that the edit button actually edits the previous text.

economy is always based on supply and demand.

demand higher
supply lower

of course the prices will go up.

do not fix what is not broken?

well i think these games are only available once per year during festive seasons.

downed and defeated is working fine.

pls dun blame the game if u r unable to wipe out all the attackers effectively.

dear arena net,

being immediately teleported back to the starting area after we got inside the clock tower is not nice.

are you going to fix this bug?

thank you.

bad idea. do not support.

if u want a race change, roll a new character.

Silver Bride.4685

Why should total strangers get to know everything I am doing while I’m in game?

are you aware that “followers” do NOT know what your character are doing, where your character is located etc.

there are already plenty of methods to earn exp in this game.

errr no.

too many people already complaining about nothing to do at level 80s.

keep dyes character bound.

them level 80s can strive to unlock dyes for their individual characters.

BowmasterSol.3457:

While on the subject, I would pay real money to buy different types of underwear. I don’t particularly like the boxers on my human male characters, while the sylvari males get leafy speedos. Anet, you could make a fortune just by simply adding new underwear skins and variation.

yes, please allow us to change under wear types designs and colors etc please!

i want sexy laces one for my females!

Silver Bride.4685:

The thing is… I don’t know a single one of these people and have never spoken to any of them. The whole thing is just creepy.

you could have offended people on the forums perhaps.

Silver Bride.4685

they could just stalk u right here right now.

not anet’s fault if you do not wish to use the ignore / block function

gw2 is not about stats progression.

stop asking for it. it will never happen.

all future expansions etc the content will be max level 80 only as well.

just more and more skins.

more types of stats combinations perhaps.

please fix the clock tower bug.

i got INSIDE the clock tower via the final jump through the shattered clock face only to be teleported back to the starting area immediately after gotten INSIDE.

please fix.

because the final boss there is too hard.

you can choose not to use them waypoints.

i never use a waypoint unless there is absolutely no choice.

yes please for the awesome FOV from mad king ascent into madness !!!

please make it real !!!!

just block that person. is it that hard to do?

the clock tower is very memorable.

the first time i reached the top, i hit the wall and failed to enter. i screamed so loud my gf aggro-ed me and told me to shaddap.

the next day morning i did the jump again with a much calmer attitude and successfully got it!

extremely satisfying!

well a low level in our party gotten a level 80 exotic mad king pants.

maybe i should try that as well.

mad king destroying lion statue is the one time event.

you can’t watch it again in the game.

please do not blame the game if you are unable to complete this achievement.

the only thing u missed is the short cinematic sequence when mad king appeared in lions arch and destroyed the lion statue.

visit youtube to watch the cinematic.

do it correctly so u can fight the spawns faster.

anet did say,

“Prepare your mind … for a mad time!”

it was extremely frustrating at first but once we got into the clock tower it is extremely satisfying.

male charr guardian

both no passive speed boosts from traits etc

clock tower jumping with charr is fun seeing everyone avoiding me and falling down.

buy gems. they cost about 90-100 silvers (in game currency) per 100gems or simply usd10 per 800 gems
