Guild Wars 2

Still will always feel like it nomatter how much it’s sugarcoated to me. We’re getting a much less value nomatter what and people are asking way too much for digital content nowadays that it’s insane.

The way they showed and explained GHs made it sound like only a few guilds could get a GH by taking the area over~ so it made me worried not all guilds can get one.

I don’t need a character slot.

No? I got lagged out before I could get within 20 feet of it.

Ah.. if only. if only.

All this could of been avoided. u.u

Why? Did you get a lucky karka foot that increased precursor drop rates?

That beautiful creature is probably the only thing to ever bless me with good luck all these years and got me Incinerator. It’s why I still visit it’s grave with flowers. Outside of that~ farming and RNGing anything in this game has given me 0 odds of any success. I miss my little crab angel.

Did you kill Ancient Karka long ago?

I don’t even need the character slot. I jus’ needa discount. ;3

3rd party websites pretty much never refund digital purchases cuz they don’t care unless it’s fraud since they pretty much write in their little agreement; “**** you; purchase at own risk” and don’t even attempt to work with the company that owns their product. The owner of Anet could personally request it and they’d probably give him the middle finger and say no. I avoid them unless it’s a super cheap offer, and legit hopefully. I actually got refunded my physical copy of Eye of the North purchased from Amazon centuries ago cuz the dude sent me a used CD key. ;o That was a phys copy though which get more support.

Mail you stuff to me since we’re both caninez.

We got rekt. Pretty much all there is to it.

I’m not preordering though so next move depends on how amazing it is in the end to compare to other things I want to buy, like Fallout 4, which takes priority over all games on the planet regardless of anything. That would make it a 110 dollar expenditure to play xpan. Otherwise I’ll just wait till sale. I’m pretty patient too.

I only ever see love and friendship most of the time in chat. :o If someone starts harassing you in whispers just block him. 4 people fighting a warrior who stays 90% actually is BS, but normal~ try to abuse poison and other condi on them to reduce the healing.

If only the planet Earth wasn’t such a horrible place nowadays we could. Just have to wait till it goes on sale sometime after release for cheaper or move to a better planet. Digital games are cheap to produce so once the hype dies down they’ll have a throwaway sale eventually like everyone does.

wow, such flattery

maybe they’ll get sued and Anet will have moar money xpan.

Probably just be a waste of clicking.

Sounds like you want the game to be like Warframe.

Sucks when you don’t have one of the items but pretty awesome when you do; so it’s kind of a hard and bias situation to figure out. Warframe does it pretty much every major event and you either get or miss out on a special weapon you’ll never see again. ;o You can’t sell/trade them though in that game so can’t monopolize it.

Wow~ I’ll always regret not buying it for 100g when I had the chance. Coulda resold it and had unlimited dosh.

In case no one caught on. This is the result of the huge lag spikes and glitches that were happening at the time of this post. This was pretty common, so I figured I’d post it here as a joke since everyone has been on the lookout for the rifle confirmation.

But Thief’s rifle was confirmed already. According to my friend’s uncle’s co-worker’s best friend’s daughter’s friend’s who worked at ArenaNet.

I thought it was confirmed already on reddit after some neckbeard managed to catch one of Anet’s carrier pigeons with a tiny net.

I’ve always preferred D/D. You just gotta know how to handle two D’s.

Well they added the spinal blades backpieces that are similar than it, unless you missed those too. :o

I love pants and shorts. all dese dresses and skirts on my manly males are silly.

Gewd newz. Though I wonder how long it’ll take for it to eat all deez. Probably be time gated like the others. :O

Make the Queens latest watchknight robot… lets call it ummm Divinity Prime; a large humanoid robot that shoots lasers and destroys communist; malfunction and cause the destruction of Divinity’s Reach while players try to stop it and eventually have to nuke the entire place with bombs. Silly Humans are always fiddling with dangerous technology.

digitalruse.9085:

Once I got the consumption tools for bloodstone and emp shards, this was no longer an issue. Dragonite OTOH…

It’s still an issue depending on how much you play. Mawdrey’s daily limit doesn’t allow it to eat the dust faster than I collect it and I still end up gaining far more than I use and pile up 20-30 stacks. The Stars not so much since I haven’t been doing wvw as much nowadays.

videoboy.4162:

They aren’t used as currency, so they won’t go into the wallet.

I agree that something needs to be done though. I think that increasing the number that goes into a stack would be a big help. As it has turned out, 250 is just too low of a number.

They drop almost as often as copper coins do; as far as I’m concerned it’s currencyish enough to be. Best way to solve the over abundance. If it bothers you that much they could cut us a break and make them the only mats that stack to an unlimited number in collections.

But if it’s destroyed how will the Queen transverse it without shoes?

would be awesome if I could throw 50 stacks of dragonite ore into wallet in one giant single pile.

I’m not too concerned with how China plays as long as we’re not a part of it.
China/Korea tend to prefer playing their MMOs in a corrupt manner as where their RL economy revolves around it… They treat games as a job and business machine rather than an actual game for fun.

You can still love someone and beat them up when they do something bad.
That’s how me and my brother got along. :o

Devs aren’t the ones who set the prices tho so the beatings are becoming misplaced.
It’s not something unheard of though~ try working support/sales for any call center and getting yelled at for every mistake your company has done that you have no control over. I think some of them just aren’t used to it and may need thicker skin.

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

Thanks for screwing altaholics anet, thanks a lot.

Just make 3 sets, light/med/heavy and trade them back and forth between charz. That’s what I do.

There’s quite a few problems with this pricing.

Currently they’re selling Core Game + Xpan together for 50 dollars. That’s actually a great deal! Awesome for new players. But the problem is they said the xpan by it’s self is 50 dollars and the Core Game is Free. No, that is a lie. From what I’ve seen the xpan does not have 50 dollars worth of content to match or even come close to the amount of content the Core Game has. You can buy GW2 alone for around 20-40 dollars or cheaper all over the place, that leaves 10-30 dollars for Xpansion price. I don’t care what they say, the core game is not free in this bundle.

As an existing account, regardless of if I wanted it or not, if I buy it I’m forced to receive a second Full GW2 account. Why would I want this? It’s a waste of a digital CD key. As far as I’m concerned I should be able to get a full core game refund for the empty unused account they give me because I don’t want it. It’s a waste of both of our money to give it to me so what’s the point? The 2nd account probably doesn’t even get it’s own HoT key so even if I gave it away to someone they wouldn’t have the xpan and would have to buy it for 50 dollars and receive a 2nd account themselves when the more logical approach would be for them to just buy the core+xpan themselves.

So basically I’m gonna come right out and say it; This is the dumbest sale I ever seen~ even after seeing Rockstar’s summer sale scam on Steam. I love this game and it’s sad to see you guys hurt your own project so much with this awful decision.

The new players who buy HoT get to apply HoT to their new Full GW2 Account. You, the existing player, do NOT receive a second Full GW2 Account if you prepurchase HoT. You only get to apply HoT to your current account and that’s it. Nothing else, there is no second account from which you could at least claim stuff like Login-Daily-Rewards and such. Which is why I see this as false advertising.

Wow, that makes things even worse. .-.

Worst business decision ever. ;x

It’s not free, they just want you to believe it’s free.

If you’ve played a lot of MMOs then you should understand how much of a scam the majority of them are.

you lost me…

Guess I overestimated your perception then.

Sad thing with game prices is it’s cheaper to distribute them digitally since it’s simpler to mass produce. People who are overhyped can buy these overpriced games at 60 dollars but within a year or less they can be often be grabbed digitally for a single dollar during special sales (such as the entire Bioshock collection, including Infinite on humble bundle) or eventually sitting at 50-75% off just at base price. As for MMOs, well; I can simplify that by just saying “Archeage” and mention the whole “Catching Whales” concept and let you do your own research.

Tell me exactly why we’re paying that much for all these things~ how much did producing this work cost? what is the upkeep cost for servers and such? exactly how much do they even need to keep their company healthy that they would require the need to sell this awful bundle to existing players and give them things they never asked for like a 2nd account? Are they hurting hard financially or something? Maybe they shoulda tried kickstarters instead. Hell, we don’t even know 100% what is in it or how much there is to know if it’s worth the price.

In some ways it could pull in less money. Not sure what the original price of GW2 was before shop change, but simply continuing selling that and xpan would net more money since newbies would have to buy both individually for what? 50+20 for xpan? 40+20? They rather just burn all their existing players at the stake so new players get a minor discount…

What’s up currently is an xpan+core game bundle. Obviously that isn’t the correct product for existing players so the price for xpan isn’t 50 dollars so it’s not been added to the store yet and they didn’t finish the page properly/on time. So wait for them to add it.

I hope you’re right, but the fact it shows that price ingame makes me wonder.

Actually not sure anymore. I’m just going by rational logic but Anet may of broken that. ;o

You’d think with that price they’d create an entire new content the around the size of tyria but it’s hard to imagine that’s what we’re getting.

ragecryx.7084:

Doggie.3184:

The Xpan alone isn’t going to be 50. It’s just not up yet.

An expansion as a product is targeted first and foremost to current players. If pricing information is not provided about how current players will upgrade that means that current players are not the majority of the product’s target audience.

What’s up currently is an xpan+core game bundle. Obviously that isn’t the correct product for existing players so the price for xpan isn’t 50 dollars so it’s not been added to the store yet and they didn’t finish the page properly/on time. So wait for them to add it.

Of course current players are not the target audience because they want more people playing the game overall and most likely someone probably screwed up and didn’t finish on time~ either way the Xpan isn’t playable anytime soon so just wait. =/

Seems to me most of the people at E3 don’t even know what the hell GW2 is so it’s probably a good thing to prioritize the bundle.

Just wait, they clearly haven’t finished setting up the purchase completely yet. =/
The Xpan alone isn’t going to be 50. It’s just not up yet.

That comes with core game. Not sure where u buy the xpan alone.

cuz MLG swag.

Lightsbane.9012:

heal for 15% of your outgoing critical strike damage. Well, thief now has a better life siphon than necro could ever hope for.

Well… Thief is the STEAL class though so it’d make sense. We can Steal HP.

My Thief doesn’t have 40k HP though like my Necro does with Life Siphon for HP and Life Force Regen for his other HP bar and deals backstab damage with his AA so Necro is preeeetty fine without more life steal.

Entenkommando.5208:

And imagine the necro ability…with double cast you can nonstop fear 10 seconds if you steal twice. (And poor necs don’t even have a useful stunbreak or stability)

It was 3 seconds at most, but they nerfed it in notes probably because of the trait.

“Skull Fear (stolen from Necromancer): The duration of fear has been reduced from 3/2/1 seconds to 2/1.5/1 seconds.”

Crying is fine. Just explain why you are~ cuz they listen to cries to gather feedback.

So much for trying to bring skill capping back. Probably was simply too late for the attempt for it to be possible.

Entenkommando.5208:

Doggie.3184:

I’ve never found this skill OP… people just like to imagine so because they see so many icons but it really isn’t. The duration is already low.

10 Seconds Protection, Regeneration, Fury, Vigor, Swiftness and 3 Seconds Stability is a low duration?
Now double this and imagine having this amount of buffs in a 1v1.

Yeah against one class that can easily wait it out, or grabbed previously and used on someone else and never again. Longest Cooldown possible = Never recharges. It’s really not a big deal. Dedicating an entire Trait to that would make them deserving of enjoying the double duration. I personally find more use in other ones and won’t be using it.

stof.9341:

We need thief skills that are like the spy in TF2 : building jammers :p

^this plz. Why have Shadow Arts the only shut-downable line? Lets shutdown entire Turret line. Maybe even jam Kits too.

I’ve never found this skill OP… people just like to imagine so because they see so many icons but it really isn’t. The duration is already low.

If the weapon set itself isn’t getting completely redesigned and buffed then they are doing the right thing by just deleting it from our kitten nal…. ars….sssssenal… ok

Ricochet being baseline on all skills could be a problem for things like the SW boss that punish AOE unless it’s only on one skill, but that would mean we need more than just 1 damage skill like we have naow since not even our AA does damage. Or they can just simply not make bosses like that. Otherwise it’s either in new Spec or forgotten and murdered.

Caledon has always been one of my favorite zones. Broke my heart when they removed the TP from there instead of moving it to crafting area.

I’m still waiting for my /flex emote and the rest of the GW1 emotes.

Belenwyn.8674:

Many players will lose 30% boon/condition duration. It will be interesting to see how this will be compensated.

Many of those are offered on specific traits naow.
