Guild Wars 2

I think the “dungeon” concept is old and overrated. Somehow old MMOs invented this concept of instanced content, and now every MMO needs to have this to cater to the needs of MMO fans or it won’t be successful. Why? All of the MMOs have this same feature, even the leveling up feature on RPGs is old and rusty. Every RPG I play there’s leveling up and a quantifiable leveling up system. It’s like seeing the same game all over again, over and over again.

Why can’t we have open world instanced content for groups of 10 players instead? This takes a lot more advantage of GW2’s system. Or a system that requires to players to do different tasks and be divided throughout the map to complete several types of events that lead to other big events.

Adding masteries was a brilliant move as opposed to raising the level cap, I hope GW2 continues to develop systems like this and distance themselves from “traditional MMOs” even further.

I sincerely hope they stop doing dungeons altogether and start focusing on open world content, which is one of this game’s strongest points.

“players abandoning the game like a sinking ship”

What are you talking about? Most people that I know in-game have pre-ordered and the ones who didn’t will defintely buy it. They’re just waiting to know if there are going to be any changes to what we’ve already discussed/whined about.

Do you really think that they’re making elite specializations and masteries for you to go back to queensdale to kill centaurs and save bunnies? Of course they’re going to include end-game content!

New players are coming to reddit seeking for advice everyday. Older players are returning to the game. I believe that despite of the “lack” of PvE content GW2 will continue to be one of the most played MMOs out there. I’m constantly meeting new players on PvP maps, and losing because of it (lol).

I didn’t see anything about it. Is Arenanet thinking of doing a Collector’s Edition for HoT? I want it, I have no interest in paying €100 (almost 115 US dollars) for a digital edition. I’d happily pay €150 for a collector’s edition (just like the original one).

If there’s not going to be a collector’s edition, I’ll just buy the standard one. I have no interest in minis or skins that will probably be on the gemstore later.

Lots of players feel the same, and are eager to get a Collector’s Edition. This is a very good chance to make players happy and earn up to 3-4 times the original amount of the expansion. It’s a win-win situation, please consider it.

I’m fine with €45, GvG is worth €45 to me. But locking people away from the Revenant? It doesn’t make any sense. Why would I be locked away from content that I’m already paying for? Old players definitely have filled their character slots by now: there are 8 professions and 5 races !!! Again: why am I locked away from playing content I’ll be paying for? It’s ridiculous!!!

EDIT: I’m going for the ultimate edition or the deluxe edition because of this. But still, not having an extra slot for players that already own the game is awful. I’ve never heard of such a thing in the gaming industry: expansions with locked content that they’ve advertised as being one of the main features.

86 ! Idbaryon

Awesome initiative! I’m looking forward to the party! \o

I’d pay for a DX12 support on GW2, if it could be bought through some sort of expansion/feature pack thing.

Assuming ofc: DX12 = no 50fps drops in WvW and World Boss battles, and improved graphics( like tesselation and stuff).

I think MMORPGs players do not pay too much attention to graphics, but it was MMOs with better graphics that actually convinced me to start playing these types of games.

Games with good graphics attract players. I know the FPS Crysis is on the other end of the gaming spectrum, but it’s the best example I can think of. Crysis 3 plot is simple/crappy/cliché/uninteresting, yet people play these type of games mosty because of the graphics quality. Let’s face it, these type of games(Battlefield,Crysis, etc) are not known because of the plot or the futuristic game mechanics (lol), it’s the graphics quality that makes people want to try them out.

GW2 with DX12 would be a massive game changer. I’m not saying GW2 should look like the FPS mentioned above, but it would definitely attract loads of (new) players.

Enjoy this day! Relax and have fun people \o

I think that there should be some sort of system to prevent players that aren’t lvl 80 from entering EB and the Borderlands.

They should be only allowed to enter EOTM and Obsidian Sanctum. This would avoid hate from other players that take WvW seriously, and that spend countless hours organizing /planning WvW.

WvW is serious stuff for a lot of players. There are groups of players that rent Team Speak servers just for WvW and they’re really expensive (500$): that’s how seriously they take WvW.

I think that in hardcore WvW servers we should try to respect that sort of stuff.

What is this feature? First time I ever heard of it. How do I open this option? (don’t hate me, I honestly don’t know about it :x )

My opinion is that VOIP would improve PvP. But if you want to play PvP better you have to get an organized team, so it’s simpler and better to use 3rd party software (which already exist by the hundreds).

The real problem would be in large scale battles (WvW and World Bosses). If we already suffer a ton of lag there, I think it would lead to servers being overloaded because of VOIP.

It’s better to use 3rd party software to avoid these problems.

Where’s your sense of humour people? Come on! It’s just for one day, enjoy it! \o

Profession: Elementalist
Weapon: Dagger/Dagger

The water’s attunement auto-attack ( Vapor Blade ) is bugged. The attack’s animation has been slowed down to 50%: it looks like it only throws one dagger (it used to throw 2).

Please look into this as fast as possible, because I can’t spam my 10 vulnerability stacks anymore ( ) and it really hurts PvP.

I’ve been playing this game for a year now and on full populated WvW maps (when all of the players are on the same tower/keep) I’ve always experienced some sort of lag: without exception. On full populated WvW maps, there has always been some sort of lag (accompanied by huge FPS drops).

But lately the lag is so unbearable (in the situation I previously described) that the all of the skills stay “blocked” (for ex.: can’t switch attunements on my elementalist and/or use utility skills). Everyone comments about it on Team Speak when this happens (so we know it happens to everyone). It wasn’t like this before.

This does not happen when we’re on low numbers. On low numbers the game runs smoothly (smoothly: not taking in account the huge FPS drop when large numbers of players meet).

I don’t really know if this problem is directly connected to the previous patch, but I’ve noticed that this has been happening since then. I hope this gets fixed before the expansion releases, or it will hurt the game a lot.

I agree with this. It’s a very cowardly atittude to do this type of thing, and it shouldn’t be allowed. Rude players don’t rant in the map chat because they want to have a lower chance to get their account suspended/banned (because if they do, they have the risk of being reported by multiple players).

This happens to me in PvP, and in WvW. Enemy players block me and then send me childish messages and/or accuse me of cheating or using macros because I defeated them in the game lol.

This change would definitely benefit the community.

I have the same problems described above

I’m I allowed to have a second GW2 account to craft daily limited materials, and repeat the same dungeon paths to send gold to just one account?

I was thinking of buying a second account just for that, but I don’t want to risk getting permabanned (I didn’t find anything on the rules of conduct that refer to this kind of situation).

Tks in advance \o

Ty for pointing it out Ayrilana, will do.

I probably shouldn’t be creating a forum post just for this, but congratulations to everyone on Arenanet! I loved the last chapter of the living story! These new champion/boss mechanics that have been introduced on the living story chapters are awesome! The cinematics are incredible! Excellent job! Best MMORPG there is :]~~

When I use teleport (elementalist) or blink (mesmer) in some occasions it buggs the character animation and the character seems to “glide” in the end of the teleport animation.

It basically shows the animation of the character standing still at the end of the teleport, but while the character is walking/running. It looks like my chars are skiing.

It’s probably an old bug (and it’s not that big of an issue), but it would be nice if to have it corrected though :]
