Guild Wars 2

Why don’t 2 handed weapons have the option to apply 2 sigils on it?

2 handers can hold 2 infusions but what about sigils?

However, if you use a Main hand and Off Hand Weapon you can hold 2 sigil effects.

Shouldn’t there be an update to apply 2 sigils to a two-handed weapon?

So I recently just watched this video on the edge of the mists: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfIg0VrXUDU

I like the whole idea but here’s a few suggestions that might make that map a little more fun.

For the arctic zone, why not add Icebrood mobs? Like the corrupted norns of svanir, ice elementals and all sorts of things like that? I don’t recall fighting any Kodans throughout my gameplay. Unless you plan on releasing new content where some Kodans become corrupted and bring fourth the “cold winter”. (nudge nudge, hint hint [good content idea here?!])

As for mobs in the area, you guys should add groups of mobs and wide range zones. For example: in the jungle area there should be a wide flat forest that is literally dark, where zergs can go at it. In the desert just have an open dry field with 1 tree or cactus in the middle with a skeleton leaning against it; to show how hot and dry it is in that area. In the arctic area there should be a dark forest similar to the fractals forest.

If this is the “Edge of the Mists” the name should make the maps sound really dynamic. Each map should have limited vision since it’s the “edge of the mists”

Instead of adding an Arctic zone blizzard content, there should be a constant snow storm. For the Desert zone there should be a constant sand storm. For the Jungle there should be a constant rain storm. Adding these effects into these areas will draw more attention towards them and make them seem very “epic” to play on. Small things can make big changes

Maybe add more mobs in the area?, but not like orr where you cant take a single path and not run into a risen mob. There should be a safe route but PvE mobs if you steer off course!

Also, PLEASE add factions (Mercenary Camps) It’s a great way to turn tables in fights, try to make mercenary camps a little more challenging! and helpful!

Definitely my Necro She’s Hawt.

Giving lower tier servers bonuses to help even out the playing field? Leave transferring to lower server free, and medium 40% off. I think we also need a server size increase. It’s disappointing waiting for 4 hours for a WvW queue and having 50 people who queued 3 hours after you did get in before you.

I also agree with the idea of having transfer prices based on WvW population. If one server cannot field enough players out compared to higher tier servers, there should be some way to balance this out, draw players into those lower tier server to even out the playing field. This is why I gave the idea of giving benefits to lower tier server, I’m not sure what kind of benefits, but I’m sure people could cough up ideas!

The idea behind both looks is that:

1. A barbaric evil themed set that shows my character is a savage. Fears nothing and takes anything on. Also with the colors I was going to add secondary colors to somewhat blend it, but with a black theme. I just didn’t want to mess around with colors on a preview. And I would also use my fractal backpack with this as well.

2. A more noble, radiant look. A look that throws myself out there and makes me shine. Sort of like the light that’s at the end of the tunnel, I am the solution. Not sure how else to explain this look.

I’m just having a really hard time deciding between the two! >< And I think that switching the armor up every night and day might be a good idea, but I’d rather just keep 1 perma armor set

I got a 1-1 can I get more opinions please?

Also if you recognize my character and look, bonus points!

Oakvale is a gaming community of PC players from around the world who have come together for a common interest. We look for friendly, respectful players and place high value on positive attitude. We are both casual gamers and competitive gamers who actively attend community events and competitive tournaments. We have grown from a small Guild into a gaming communtiy whose goal is to provide an entertaining, drama-free environment for all gamers and others on our servers.

We are currently located on Crystal Desert server, but anyone is welcome to be a part of our community! However, if you are in Crystal Desert; you will be expected to attend our WvW Raids.

And yes, we do PvP, GvGs and PvE!

If you’re interested, join today!

Oakvale.enjin.com

Like to RP, PvP or PvE?

We’re looking for more players to help build up influence so we can run Guild Missions and form organized experienced teams.

Any Server welcome due to the fact that this is currently a non-WvW guild. This is also a great STARTER guild! If you are new to the game and just want a Guild to have people to talk to go ahead and join!

Representing is not required but we ask that you represent.

We also prefer to recruit members from Jade Quarry Server

You must also be an active player.
This guild will be primarily NA but anyone is welcome!

Please send in-game-mail to Dezarys.1372 for an invite!

WvW Overflow:

I suggest you guys create a “battlegrounds”

Basically there will be 3 spawn areas, North, South-West, South-East.

Between each spawn there can be deep dark forests with strong mobs hiding and living within them. Mysteries can be unveiled within the forests and epic battles can be fought.

Near each spawn there will be a tower and 2 camps further in to supply the tower.

Going in further towards the middle there will be a large castle, These castles will hold epic fights to defend and the invaders will attack with full force holding nothing back!

More ideas and content can be put into this, but this is just a taste of the idea, that might interest you!

WvW Guards:

Create an option for players to purchase more guards or GUILD guards.

The keeps have the basic supply upgrade for patrol and guard improvements but you should allow players to go to certain locations to purchase a squad of 3-4 guards who are a bit stronger and tougher than regular guards. They can pay XXX Gold or XXX Badges or both to help in the defense of the Keep/Tower/Castle. Within each guard group there is a healer, tank, and caster, add another class if needed.

But I think this will make defending a keep much more epic and fun for players!

Also: If a keep/tower/camp/castle is claimed by a guild, the guards should wear the guild armor emblem and their shields should have the emblem as well. The Guild Tag should show on these mobs, presenting the guild to the players. This shows pride or honor to the guild. And they can proudly stand by their keep

Thank you people who are donating mats! Once I hit 250 of a single mat, I will update the main forum post! I will also post a video of me crafting it as proof!

This is probably the last place I would want to look to for help but I figured I’d just give it a shot..

I’m VERY close to getting my legendary, after playing this game since launch, it’s been one crazy ride. I finally figured out what I wanted for my masterpiece weapon and all I need now are 2 gifts:

Gift of Magic
Gift of Light

Both require 250 of each tier 6 mat.

I’m calling out to all friendly and helpful players to help me finish this LONG LONG LOOOONNGGGG adventure I’ve taken to collect money for my legendary.

If you can and are willing to help me finish my Legendary please send me some tier 6 mats, eventually I can help repay you or if you wish to donate them to me that works too!

This is where I am at with my tier 6 mats:

152/250 Vials of Powerful Blood
140/250 Vicious Claws
73/250 Vicious Fangs
139/250 Elaborate Totems
106/250 Ancient Bones
77/250 Piles of Crystalline Dust
103/250 Armored Scales
167/250 Powerful Venom Sacs

Please help me collect these mats, I can send anything else I have in return or pay you back over time, unless you just want to help me with this as a generous offer

Thanks again everyone who has donated! I will keep this forum updated if I do receive mats from helpful players!

Please send mats to: Annivey

I’m a fully geared Guardian that needs an Alt Guild that I can run every week for commendations. I will only represent your Guild during the times of the Mission.

You must have Puzzle, Rush, and Bounty and have 15+ people to attend the event.

I’m on Jade Quarry server but I can guest. Please mail me on Solovic

FAAAAAAAAAABUULOUSSSS!!!

It’s amazing what Anet did with this Event, it honestly feels more lively and brings hundreds of players together to fight this event.

I love hearing all of these players getting together and strategizing for the next fight, we have groups set up and players listening and working together to kill this boss.

IMO players should get some better loot from the fight, and future fights for bosses like this. Reason I say this is because it takes plenty of teamwork to get this done and players should be more heavily rewarded (with better rewards) upon completion.

I hope Anet continues to add more challenging and fun content like this for Guild Missions, World Events and Anything PvE.

The best feeling about this is that this fight feels almost more like one of the enjoyable traditional raids I used to play in MMOs back in the day. I’m excited for more content like this and possibly fights where teamwork is crucial for a win.

Great Job and Keep up the Great Work Arena Net!

Sorry: I need a recipe for raspberry peach compote

I am having trouble trying to find the merchant for this, and I can’t even spot it out on the TP, maybe I am missing something?

Also, we are accepting anyone! You don’t have to be a WvW Junkie!

Make sure to Mail me in-game to recieve an invite please

They really should change eternity to that, and make it a perma color change. That’d be cool if the swing effect also carried the blue up top and the purple near the hilt!

This is definitely a good idea!
Make the greatsword have it’s own tale!
Not one that is taken from 2 stories and put into 1 book.

Let me clarify.. by troll, I mean someone who seriously ruins the game for many others. NOT someone who acts dumb in chat.

Lately I’ve seen this Guild called “BALL” (it was something like ballin with ballistas… I dont remember their guild name) in World vs. World. I’m not sure if it’s just 1 person or multiple people but I’ve seen different characters in this guild. All these guys do is follow around the commander and literally throw ballistas everywhere causing a mess. If the leader of the pack (the commander) throws down a siege site, this “Troll” will toss as many sites down around the commander’s site so that people will build the ballistas and on the siege site that the commander threw. Now people are wasting their supply on siege that is completely useless in the situation.

Another thing they do is they will throw as many ballistas around a supply camp so players can’t grab supplies or it will take a few minutes for then to grab them. Most players give up on taking supply and run off.

Last thing, these players take all the supply from a tower or keep and they build ballistas everywhere. My guess is that they are from a rival tier 1 server and they are sabotaging Blackgate.

Take note, I am from Blackgate server.

Is there a way to report these types of players? Or is it something Anet will eventually see and get to?

I didn’t know how else to bring up this issue, I figured a forum post might help answer my question.

I heard there was an Announcement from Anet saying that they wanted Kiel to win, can someone link me the page>?

Rumors have been going around and people have been saying Anet plans on creating some skill tree instead or traits or something like that. I don’t remember the details but can someone confirm this for me?

If there is valid proof, that’d be great too

Why doesn’t Anet close out the less populated Servers and move all those players into more populated ones?

From My PoV I’m seeing:

• Low-End WvW Servers can have more players that can come and play with them to help the Server out
• WvW Match-Ups won’t always be the same and competition can Arise.
• People won’t all try to fit into the higher tier servers and servers can be balanced

Of course there can be more to it, but these are the positives I see right off the bat when I think about it.

Like I mentioned in the post, try us out for 2 weeks, no strings attached, we’ll try to make your stay one you will enjoy!

STRICTLY BLACKGATE SERVER
PvX Guild [DWS] is recruiting all Active players again! We are also looking for guilds who want to merge with our guild! Leading positions will be assigned to Officers and Leaders!!!

> We are also looking for Officers to help manage the Guild.

Fun Fact: “Dark World Syndicate” blends well with the server name “Blackgate” for we are a group of players within a Guild who play in a server that has a somewhat dark tone to it.

Some of the things we have to offer are:

• VOIP Server; Mic comms
• Friendly Active Community
• Experienced Players
• Useful information such as: Crafting Tips and Guides, Class Builds, Group Set-Ups and more!

Here’s some of the Guild events we like to run together

• A Guild Lottery.
• PvP Tournament Ladders.
• WvW Training
• Dungeons, including Fractals of the Mists
• World Bosses and Special Living Story Events
• Guild Missions

Here is a bit more information, including requirements and what we ask from members

We’re a fairly active community looking to build up more and game at a semi-hardcore level. Since our Focus as a Guild is WvW, we want our Guild’s name to become very well known. We’re like a family, and the more time you spend with us and chatting, the more attached you will be.

We prefer Tactics over Numbers, so if we’re doing WvW or some hard event we’ll come up with quick strategies to flawlessly execute our objective even if we don’t have the numbers in dire situations.

Requirements?:

We don’t require much but, the main thing that is required is Raid Call. You must have this downloaded and if you don’t want to hear other players please just sit in the AFK room. It helps shows that our members are dedicated to our Guild and when new players or returning players come back they can see that our Guild is still lively and strong!

Repping? We prefer 100% representation but we don’t pressure our members to represent. Officers MUST represent. But the majority of our Guild represents without having to be asked to. Nearly all the time we will have every player representing.

Wrap up and Conclusion

We used to run 300+ members and 40+ online per day and we slimmed out all those players to less that 100+ and 10+ on per day. We are hoping to rebuild our amazing community and play together as we once did.

I hope all of this information has at least given you some thought of joining us! If you are interested but are unsure, Try joining us for a couple of weeks and representing us! It won’t hurt, if you don’t like it, you can move on, with no strings attached! We promise we will try to make your stay one you will not forget and one you will most certainly enjoy!

Sincerely yours,

Solovic

P.S. Please Whisper me in game for an invite. If you cannot get a hold of me because I may be offline during that time, Mail me a Message asking me for an invite.

EDIT:

>The Guild Lottery is Weekly.
> We also ask all of our members to give warm welcomes to any new members that join our Guild.

Increase the Group size by another 4-6 players. This can create larger groups for players so people can work much better together and come up with strategy techniques.

Simple Suggestion for improving Guild’s Permissions.

Guild Vault: Has the option to allow or not allow members to use this bank.

Treasure Trove: Has the option to allow or not allow members to use this bank.

Deep Cave: NEEDS the option to allow or not allow members to use this bank.

So some players can use one thing and other players cannot.

I’m sure I clicked avenger :,( I wanted the greatsword first, then the bow…. Idk how I could have mistakenly selected..

I wanted to get the Avenger, but before I did I browsed through all of the other looks of every weapon. After I finished my browsing I picked the weapon I wanted and hit accept. After I hit it, on the right side of my screen I was given my items and for some reason it said “Blade”. So confused, I looked at my inventory and I only see the one handed sword and not the greatsword…

Has this happened to anyone else and is there a Zenith trader or something I can talk to because I don’t use one handed swords on any of my toons.

Behellagh.1468:

You missed the point everyone is making. ANet takes no responsibility if you choose to trade outside of the TP. You did, you lost, too bad.

Embrace this experience as an important life lesson.

Don’t you mean an in-game lesson? I think a lot of people don’t base their lives off the game

(Grabs Popcorn)

Guy scams me, and he blocked me after he scammed me. So I reported him, I also added him to my Contacts list to see Anet removed him from the game. But he’s happily playing and free to scam still?

I don’t think they even removed the item and gold that this person scammed me for?

EDIT:

In addition to this, yes I like to cry and complain about big losses in game, but it is pretty neat to hear what others have to say, good or bad. A conversation gets started and everyone in the community talks!!!

Also I contribute to Anet, paying my actual money for Gems and purchasing their amazing and fun content on the Gem Store!!! I will continue playing GW2 and purchasing more Gems soon! I just want better and more content to fiddle around with!

I wish there was a trading system, even if it’s limited to XX amount of items per day.

I also wish Anet would give better Customer Service, possibly with an in-game representative to talk to players about any issues in game. It’d be cool if they would at least let you know if they resolved your issue and how they resolved it.

I want a new Gem Store item, It can be called the Sandwich Cannon. Basically you whip out a Cannon and can fire a Ginormous Sandwich at an ally and knock them back and down giving them a food buff and after they receive the buff they are immune to cannons for 5 hours

WvW Claiming:

When Guilds claim a camp, keep, or tower the guards in the area will have their Guild Tag. So when players Click on an NPC in that area below their name will be the Guild’s name and their tag and their armor and weapons will have the Guild’s Emblem.

Example:

Champion Lord Supervisor
<Guild Tag Example [GTE]>

……………………………………………………………………………………………………….

WvW Guards: For xxx(x) amount of influence you can summon powerful guards to help defend and patrol your keep, castles or camps. For 12 Hours. These Guards are mainly built for defending and calling out to your guild if the camp, keep, or castle is attacked. So If your claimed area is attacked your Guards leave an important Guild Message for everyone in the Guild to see so that the Guild may form together and run out to defend their claimed Land.

This important message will call out for help from the Guild and give the guild a numbers count in the area.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

How about having open locations on the Camp, Keep, or Castle that you can build on the site?

To add more Guards for XX amount of time. You walk up to the spot and you can purchase a defender for maybe 5 silver?

It could be:

5s Melee
10s Caster
15s Healer

All of these will be Veterans with a good amount of health, armor, and attack.

Also if the area is upgraded to make guards a higher level, this will also affect these bought NPCs.

Galtrix.7369:

If Anet decided to make an alternative path to reaching a legendary, I would play GW2 again. But after dumping about a thousand gold into the Mystic forge, I got nothing even worth my time. A legendary shouldn’t be something we simply “Loot” out of pure luck. That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of in any mmorpg. I gave up on getting a legendary a long, long time ago, and I’ve been playing other games ever since. It’s been the happiest month of my life playing WoW and not worrying about throwing away all my gold for a “chance” at a legendary weapon. Instead, I go to a dungeon, run it a couple times and loot it, which I can’t do in GW2.

See I know a lot of people who have dumped tons of money in the forge for the chance for it and they come out with no luck. I’m not saying increase the drop rate. I’m trying to find another way to obtain the item. Crafting seems neat. I WvW almost every day. I do all world bosses every day, I toss rares and exotics in the forge. and for almost a year now (I have played since Launch) I have not come across the Pre cursor I need.

The only solution I see is constant grinding… and you should already know what we’ve been told about grinding. Added to that, everyone hates it because it’s boring.

Here is another idea…

We work hard to craft the gifts for the legendary… why not work to craft gifts for a precursor. Or.. We create the Legendary, why not add “LEGEND” behind the “LEGENDary”?

So for example we could have to fight certain bosses, venture across lands and run instances that tell a story behind it all. This way, when you finally achieve your Legendary, you have a story behind it, you made choices and sacrifices to get it, you gathered all the necessary materials to create it, and you can stand before your peers and have them bask before your glorious achievement!!!!

Sorry I got carried away.

Added to that:

• In-Game Representatives to attend to player’s needs.

• Possibly a fix on the servers as well. Maybe make 3 main servers for WvW. Being in the top 3 servers, we’re used to playing the same servers over and over. Might be better to combine more people together and make a more epic and dynamic environment.

Respawning in 3…..2…..1…..

Just kidding.

Best wishes to you buddy! May the force be with you..

Here’s a post I was about to post in suggestions but i’d like some feedback from everyone else. Why or why not is this a good idea? Some way to craft a precursor, without having to grind so hard for money.

So for many people, the biggest issue with making a Legendary is the precursor. The drop is extremely low, and the price for 1 is insane. I have a solution for this so hopefully this works out:

Precursor example: Dawn

1 “Gift of War”
[1 Gift of Metal, 1 Gift of Might, 1 Gift of Battle, 1 Bloodstone Shard]

1 Gift of Ascalon
[500 AC Tokens]

1 Gift of Battle

250 Obsidian Shards or 250 Globs of Ectoplasm

You know.. something along those lines… This could cut off a lot of Grinding which “you” said we wouldn’t have to do much off.

The Gift of Ascalon can be replaced for certain Precursors with other dungeon Gifts. And also you could replace “Gift of War” with another gift or replace it with a certain weapon.

A Legendary is something we work hard for, I understand. But with precursor drops at such a low rate? How is that even possible to pick up without grinding for constant money. “You” told us we wouldn’t have to “grind” for everything, so I’m hoping we don’t have to grind so much soon so we can get our Legendaries as we play and enjoy the game

This post might be better off in PhP but I haven’t gotten a reponse for awhile and i’m sure I could get a little more assistance out in this thread area. Also this is after all part of Guild Wars 2 and there could be some sort of discussion about it :<

LOD Distance: The distance which rendered objects transition through varying levels of detail.

I run this on Medium setting, but I run everything else on High.

From my understanding basically any objects that render to the “Medium” distance will automatically render as high setting right?

Also, will this affect my line of sight? Meaning if I use Medium, I won’t be able to see WvW Players who are in the “High” setting area?

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

So basically you want a team survivor mode…..

Whats wrong with that? :P Rewards can be given, Anet can set up something on the Gem Store to assist with this and everyone wins!

Heres an idea:

An instance that can allow a certain amount of Guild members to survive a horde of infinite waves of enemies. Each waves gets harder and numbers will grow. In the instance there will be “Instance Tokens” which the guild can use to purchase NPC assistance, Turret assistance, Traps and more! There could be a ranking ladder so they other guilds within the server can see who has reached what level in the leaderboards.

Of course I could add more details and ideas to this. This is just a small portion of what popped up in my head!

:) Let me know what you think!

EDIT:

MORE CONTENT IDEAS!

Guilds!

• Guild Leaders have an icon on the map for all Guild members to see if they are within the same zone as their leader

(I will add more ideas to this over time. Playing the game right now! :P)

LOL OMG MORE MORE

Okay, most people would probably say, “Warrior! Hands down!”…. Well hear me out..

I’m having some problems deciding between these two classes (and yes, I will be using a certain build for both classes which I will explain in detail in just a minute). So if you could take the time and explain, help me decide, or discuss why you think one is better than the other (with the builds I’ve listed below) and give me a hand!

Warrior:

Build: PvT (Power, Vitality, Toughness), Banner Spec, Mercy Runes, Hammer, Sigil of Paralyzing.

Why PvT? And Why Banners? And EW.. Why Mercy Runes?
Why? Well a PvT build isn’t great on damage, but it allows the warrior to deal out decent damage while maintaining survivability. Banners will allow ALL the party members to receive infinite regeneration (appox. 250-500 per second or 1.5 seconds) along with boosted stats. Tactics banner improves Boon duration along with Healing Power, Strength banner improves Power and Condition Damage, and Defense Banner improves Vitality and Toughness. (And blast finishers with banners are great!) Mercy runes are amazing because well, You get all the toughness you’d normally get if you used dolyak runes, and since this is a build for survival it helps. The Special Abilities on Mercy runes are also amazing. It allows you to revive allies much more quickly and efficiently! Basically you’re a tanky medic! This boosts the group’s survivability quite a bit if you ask me.

Why Hammer?
Hammer is an amazing tool for warriors to use. Their F1 skill has a neat stun which can control large amounts of mobs or a single mob for a few seconds. This build will also be great because hammer has quite a bit of CC if traited correctly. Blast finishers, Fumble, Cripple, Knockdowns, Knockback, Stun, Root, and a pbaoe auto attack. This is something that even I wouldn’t want to pass up.

Ranger:

I don’t want to make this too long so lets stop there for warriors and move onto rangers.

Why Ranger?

Rangers have more survivability than you think. With constant Vigor and Evades, They make a tough target to kill. Their Spirit Elite Heals a great amount and also has the ability to instantly revive a downed ally. That’s such a useful skill in tough situations. They have a wide ranged PBAoE Heal that they can drop, and this can be combed for more healing since it is a water field.
They have a shout that can allow pets to search for a downed ally and revive if you’re ever in those situations where you can’t do it and neither can your buddies. Pets are much more useful than people think. Pets can tank, and if you spec right you have an amazing amount of defense and healing.

With that said, I was thinking of completely ignoring it all (whoa theres a twist) and going straight for a condition build. BUT I would keep handy a few traps (maybe), and definitely keep the shout to send my pet on a reviving mission.

So now i’m left with the decision…

Constant river flowing ticks of 130+ bleeds and poison damage ticking about 320+, pets to revive, elite to heal and revive, healing skill that gives regen to group and water field.

or

Constant CC, Constant Regeneration, Ability to revive quicker and more efficiently. And whatever else I listed.

I honestly don’t know how long I made this post, but I’m hoping some people could take the time to read this and discuss this with me. Like I said, i’m having trouble deciding between the two. (this toon will be for all dungeons including fractals 40+ 50+ etc)

So please let your thoughts flow in this thread! (On these 2 classes, with these 2 builds)

zenleto.6179:

Psst! Hey you. Paragraphs.

I’ve been playing since the first week of the year and while I don’t have the massive buzz I first had I still think this is the mmo that will see out my mmo playing days. Yes, plenty of potential and I’m happy to see where it’s all going to go. I’ve hardly dungeoned or wvwed so there’s content that’s new to me after all these months. Can’t even say year or years yet.

I miss Daoc too btw.

When I played DAoC my buzz was always there, everytime I played. I enjoyed the 8 man groups and running around on raids or in RvR. I never lost it. This game is great but I’m hoping I can get that feeling back from when I first played it or something close to it. Most of my game time has been grinding money or mats, and not enough time enjoying playing the game. And when issues arise in game for me I can’t talk to anyone about it. I can’t vent on forums, venting in map I’d just get a bunch of rude players who just talk a lot of junk, venting in guild and people will simply agree start a convo but most never experience what I have. I want to reach out a larger amount of players who have experienced what I have or possibly a representative to help talk the issue with me.

I want to continue and continue rambling and talking but I know I could be doing better things. I just want to add this:

This game (in my honest opinion) has so much potential. I’m hoping that the promises that were made from the start will find its way back on track so that players who want to enjoy the gameplay experience can actually enjoy it and not run through it and toss it out after some time playing.

I’ve had a few friends join to play this game then leave and quit for good because they hated it. They said the dungeons were “stupid” because everyone exploits, everyone speed runs, and it was no fun for them. The got lost and tried to pick up the pace but would fall behind and get booted. World bosses were terrible, they hated it because people just sat down together spammed skill 1, got loot, and left. There are no tactics behind killing this amazing mob, even I find it boring myself. PvP was okay, they left so they couldnt’ see this new spectate mode but the spectating is horrible. I join a server to play not watch a full game. People won’t even swap out for you to enjoy the gameplay. WvW was fun, we had a blast because it brought us back to our days in DAoC. But it was always zergy, and in those huge battles you cant even use your skills. You just walk around and die. I just hope this game finds it’s way back on the path it was promised to do. Also, I hope any upcoming events will have great stories and that these events will have content that the developers put effort into. It seems like they want to attract players and get money more than present a game that that will be known as the greatest MMO for years to come. Lets be honest, a lot of the events haven’t been as great as they should. Southsun was… I don’t even want to start a topic on that. Anyways. I want to hear some feedback. Good or bad. and what you think about this game and where it’s heading.

Here’s a forum post I saw from someone else last night that really put me into thought:

Where to begin? I won’t make this too long… but…

My Signature says a lot of how I am in game. Obviously, I am a dedicated player. I love this game! But there are so many flaws, which of course is to be expected, but if not attended, can really bring down the gameplay.

When I first played Guild Wars 2 I was, in all honesty, lost. I came from DAoC (Dark Age of Camelot) and I played that game for years. Coming to this game was a huge switch for me and I had to take some time to get the hang of the gameplay. After I started understanding the gameplay I was drawn in an seduced by the game itself! It was amazing, Graphics were sweet, the effects were eye drawing, and the sounds and music could not have been more perfect. Soon I became addicted to this game. I read up more about it and all the fun/cool things that would be brought to it. I played mainly in PvP for the first 2-3 weeks with my guardian, and soon decided to move onto PvE. So I leveled in the PvE zone working my way slowly up, and during that time I also tried other classes for a short amount of time (usually 3-7 days) to see what I would like to play on the side, or after I hit max level with my guardian. I gave dungeons a shot and boy they were HARD. It was fun but still, super hard at that time. I had some fun but soon people started to do exploits with the fun things in the game; World Bosses, Dungeons, Events, and more. This started to get really boring. Long fun runs with the group to kill mobs and enjoy the gameplay soon became tedious speed runs for money, loot, or tokens. Everything became fast paced. Groups started to stick with the motto, “Keep up or get Booted”. And so I did. Before I knew it I became one of those players who wanted to enjoy the gameplay into a speed running exploiter. I always tried to persuade groups into playing normally but they all disagree and I knew if I continued to say, “No Exploiting”, I would have gotten booted. So I continued with this constant Grind for Money, Mats, and Tokens. After I got bored of it all I decided to level another character, hopefully to find that light out of the darkness in game. I believe my second toon was my Warrior. I got her to 80 but ended up deleting her to recreate a charr. In the middle of it, my guild members pushed me to get commander so I could lead so I did. I constantly grinded money and tokens for a week. Exhausted and worn out, I managed to come up with 100g and a full set of armor on an elem. I led in WvW and played a lot of that for awhile, then came back to PvE for money. I crafted and bought new armor, weapons, made some good money, got commander a second time, bought dyes, gave out skins to players in guild and not in guild, gave out weapons and items to new players to help them, loaned massive amounts of money to players who needed it and tried to be better than most players in this game. Players here are greedy and full of it. They talk so much trash and can tear apart the game for you. Customer service in this game isn’t so great either. That’s another thing that’s a huge downer. I understand that there are people who keep an eye on the forums, but why not have them also attend in tickets in game rather than having their focus on forums? One thing I loved about DAoC is that when you file a report on something, there will be someone that will talk to you in game and help you with your issue. Oh I loved it. Even though sometimes there was a wait, at least there can be someone that would help you with your issue so that you can continue to enjoy your in-game experience.

This brought me to tears.
