Guild Wars 2

Jordo.5913:

check out this diva

If you don’t think it’s broke, then you obviously have not even tried to complete it, or you’ve never ran Nuhoch lane

the bosses aren’t even the issue, it’s the mechanics that aren’t balanced….the spawn rate on spores is atrocious and you can’t get into bonus rounds

Then how come me and the guys usually fail because of DPS issues rather than spores?

I would like to think this game doesn’t fall into that category. :\ You pay for it only once, and there’s nothing you can do with money to give yourself an edge over other players.

I’ve been working my kitten off the past few days trying to beat this event and made tons and tons of progress. We’re so close to beating it now. If they nerfed it now all that effort would go to waste. >_> Please let the event remain as is.

That’s…Not how things work. :facepalm: I’m sorry my camp is so terrible at holding an argument.

On 3, the words used were “shortly after launch”.

reapex.8546:

Central Tyria is always there if you want to stay with the “old ways”.

Please stop saying this. You’re giving people who like the new content a bad name with your elitist exclusionary bullkitten.

Wanderer is very elusive. There are people who sell them on tp, but no clue where to get them. I know the inscription/insignia recipes can be bought from the Nuhoch vendor, but the recipes for the actual equipment… Anyone’s guess.

Terrahero.9358:

It could do the same thing as it does in WvW. I don’t mean WXP, but character XP.

You don’t get character XP in WvW.

Astralporing.1957:

That was true for old maps, where waypoints were relatively nearby. Here, the closest unlocked waypoint may as well be at the very beginning of the map.

So you ruin the event for everyone else by scaling up the event while not contributing anything… Because you’re too lazy?

Uhhhh… But… There is no point to mastery points in WvW.

Okay then mister smart guy, what do you suggest we use exp for if not masteries?

When you die you’re not supposed to get rezzed. You’re supposed to waypoint.

I never got hit by any of those. O_o

Stop giving these guys the time of day. They are trying to make it your responsibility to make them like the game when it’s not. It’s all on them. They don’t deserve your time.

Wait… Stuff can hit you while gliding during the gliding phase?

Please don’t use the word casual like that. I’m a casual and I like the new content. Don’t lump me in with these people.

EDIT: Sorry I didn’t completely read your post until just now.

There are various ways to get into the subterranean river. There’s an hole north of the Dragon’s Path waypoint (don’t remember the exact name), and another to the northeast of the SCAR outpost waypoint. You can also dive into the water in Rata Novus.

What’s with all the random ‘twitching’ in the first two posts? It’s making it hard to read.

leviathan.2148:

No. I’ll answer you with the similar proposal: If you want easier content, go play in any other region. Finally player needs to pay attention and can’t faceroll everything. And this is coming from a casual player with limited time, you mentioned.

Can we PLEASE stop saying this? It’s really grinding my gears. You’re giving us people who like the new content a VERY bad name by saying exclusionary elitist bullkitten like this. Everyone is allowed in the new areas. They just need to get better at the game.

Anyway @ Original Poster:

A lot of the things you say are very subjective, and the majority of people disagree with you. You just don’t see them here because they’re too busy playing the actual game.

Also getting a group for hero points isn’t hard.

Re: Dead content: It’s not as bad as you think, you just gotta know how to find it. Have you tried organizing it with a guild? If that’s not an option, have you tried LFG?

Teofa Tsavo.9863:

The “Dead Horse” being flogged is giving any credence to old Dev statements re what will not be in game.

When mounts come, not IF, a good number of those going purple with rage at the mention of mounts will be enthusiastically grinding for them or buying gem cards.

Why are you so obsessed with mounts that you delude yourself into thinking it’s inevitable? What do mounts even add to a game where you can warp around at will?

Just because they think it doesn’t make it true. All they need to do is step up their game a little. This is something anyone can do, not just hardcore people. It requires no investment, just skill.

The bigger problem is when they start saying stuff like “But this champion keeps killing me no matter how much I try.”. That stuf isn’t meant to be solo’d but they stubbornly keep trying. When all you need to do is type “/map” and ask for help.

A lot of the map bonus rotations contain vendor trash. Or boxes which contain vendor trash.

Making them a daily reward or part of reward tracks would go against their philosophy of making mastery points a finite resource.

“We should be able to do group content by ourselves.”

Am I the only one who sees a logic problem with this statement?

Farzo.8410:

He was mainly disliked by people who try to play MMO’s as a single player RPG.

“Because I deserve the glory.”

But… You DID get the glory. Where does this fairy tale come from that Trahearne gets the glory?

The lack of an afterparty like the vanilla story had also kinda left me… With a feeling of lacking.

If I had a dime every time someone blamed the game for their own shortcomings….

I would probably be able to buy more stuff from the gem store. Thank dog there was only a one-time buy for the expansion.

Fractals.

Yes. Indeed.

Pffft really? First of all you’re leaving out the weaving threads. Second, the recipes are rare because few people have gotten them to drop yet. Stuff like this will stabilize after a while once more people get used to the game.

Actually I wouldn’t mind teaming up with Job-o-Tron

But… You can’t get exp in pvp.

While this is not a “fix”, you can still get a guild hall if you team up with other guilds right?

We cleansed Orr together and took down an Elder Dragon’s army. He was the one who took care of all the boring administrative duties while I was getting kitten done like a kitten. That was a GREAT dynamic. Now who will I partner up with to beat the next one?

And do keep an eye out for good ways of making gold. That might also explain the inflation, because that’s where other “buyers” are probably getting their gold from.

Oh I get it. This isn’t actually a discussion thread where people express their opinions. This is a “QQ with me or get out” thread. Fine, have it your way. I’m getting out and enjoying my game.

Ok I’m done, this place is just toxic. Keep enticing eachother to keep hating like the toxic crew you are while I go back and enjoy my game.

The problem is that from my observations, Trahearne haters have no idea what they’re talking about. They call him a Mary Sue and a Glory Hog. When he never ever took credit for anything (he was the granter of credit, not taker of it). He is also lacking any of the usual Mary Sue traits.

I mean, sure, I’ll acknowledge that he’s not Forgal, but please, the guy never actually did anything wrong and the haters are just enticing eachother to keep hating without looking at the facts.

Calling the event impossible is not only pessimistic, it’s just plain wrong. I was able to get my Gerent down to almost 0% HP on my last attempt. (this was on SCAR lane) Too bad only one other lane managed to do the same. But we’re getting bettter every time.

What you’re describing is just a bit of a catch-22, because the reason it fails is because people don’t bother.

I’m getting closer and closer to defeat. This really is comparable to triple wurm.

I would like to see your order choice gain more relevance.

I mean what they did with the choices in the HoT story isn’t bad but I wouldn’t mind some choices with longer lasting effects. Perhaps even outside of the story.

It seems to me that excess exp actually DOES get redicrected to a different mastery though.

You know, if all of you just hurry up and give up on precursor crafting, then the price of materials will go down again and I can start my precursor crafting.

Well, the economy is kind of unstable. The introduction of new materials as well as new things to craft (using both old AND new materials) increases demand for everything. Once the hardcore players have what they need, I expect the prices to drop a fair bit. Although I’m not sure how far they’ll drop.

Given all the hate going around the forums I just wanted to say. I love the expansion.

The story is short, and it ended very suddenly, but the presentation was awesome. I love that final battle, especially the cameo near the end of the fight. There seem to be some bugs though, I hope those will be fixed.

I love the new maps. Yeah it’s a bit more difficult, but it gave me a chance to step up my game and try new tactics. I also feel less kitten because I never loved the Zerker playstyle. Being a Soldier (soon to be Wanderer) feels more rewarding now.

I love the guild hall. It’s absolutely massive and has a lot of customization potential. However, the Guild Upgrade UI does not work for me as a mac user. I hope this will be addressed as well.

I’ve been bashing my head against the Tangled Depths boss event for days now. I can’t wait until I finally manage to beat it.

I haven’t tried the new fractals yet, but it will likely be the place where I gain most of my exp to level up my Legendary Journey masteries. On that note, thanks for giving me an alternate method to obtain a legendary weapon that doesn’t involve grinding for gold.

Speaking of exp, even more than in vanilla, there’s so many activities I can do that give me exp. I love the fact that gaining exp does not feel like a grind.

Keep up the good work. Not all of us hate you. In fact, most of my peers are too busy playing the actual game than to spend time humoring all the complainers.

Okay, let me just put it this way:

I absolutely despise farming for gold. Now with these legendary journeys, I can FINALLY make an honest attempt at getting a legendary.

Now leave me to enjoy my legendary journey PLEASE. If you want your legendary that much without working for it, go buy it off the TP.

I’m not sure what people are talking about I’m making more gold than I ever did in HoT.

I used to constantly hover below 10-20g, now I can actually build up to 30g, spend it, and build up to 30g again. Doing the same things I always did.

Question, any of you dungeon farmers, have you EVER tried doing fractals?

You people have strange logic.

Then don’t buy the game and let us people who did buy the game enjoy our new content.

Disagree. Casuals can be skillful players as well. They just don’t play as much as hardcore players. That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be allowed an honest shot at difficult content.

I would argue that the complexity of Verdant Brink gives you incentive to revisit it after you’ve gotten more familiar with the game and unlocked more masteries.

Re: Tangled Depths: Like Verdant Brink, that one also becomes more fun to do when you familiarize yourself with it more.

I would also like to point out that if you make the precursor crafting cheaper than the going rate on the tp, then the going rate on the tp will drop accordingly.
