Guild Wars 2

Vaxx.3178:

Another back item? Really?

Another skin based of existing skins? Really?

Cant say anything about the dungeon yet, but getting really sick of the token rewards. Seems Anet likes to recycle these things over and over. Its like they can put poo in a box, but as long as they add another ugly back item, its “cool”.

Ahhh well, all the kiddos should be happy at least.

i can agree the rewards are trash but a new path in ta is gonna be refreshing

GJ Anet finally seems like you are listening to the players giving us permanent content.

updates like these will save the game

not interesting enough to pull me away from gta, hope the halloween update is as good as last years

Fortus.6175:

dunno what you are talking about. As a non-CoF farmer and a guy that do NOT enjoy running around in circles pressing 1 for countless hours I can tell you that dungeons are now QUITE profitable.

Laid off the gold making routine, try other things, gold is decreasing in value, accept it and adapt. I, for once, Im glad Anet is doing something to get rid of farming which gives an unfair advantage to people with too much free time in their hands and give people like us who have jobs a chance to catch up in the little time we can afford to put into the game.

> “farming which gives an unfair advantage to people with too much free time”

are you kittening serious? playing the game is unfair? wow i’ve seen everything

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

In Guild Wars 2, the monsters raid you.

Also, check out Guild Missions

wow what a joke, monsters literally don’t do kitten.

Why are the characters fighting teq in the concept art/wallpaper using spears? Hinting towards future release?

guild wars 2
hard

pick one

ascended should have just stayed as trinkets amulets and backpieces, i grinded a legendary and after that i swore i’d never do that kitten again, this looks just as bad

this game seriously just keeps getting worse

if they combined all explorable zones into an overflow you’d see alot more people around, they kittened up by splitting the community into worlds

welcome to the club

TSIA when will 5 player limit be raised?

reason I ask is because of upcoming party search

oh em gee super adventure box!!! so le epik!!!! i luv da retro grafixxDD!!

why release real content when you can just come out with this trash?

Dr Ritter.1327:

nothing is hard enough to kill that we need more weapon damage

ascended weapons aren’t needed right now

I think that’s a really funny point, actually, since I agree.

A lot of people are trying to defend them by saying “those stats don’t matter”. Well, they do. They aren’t catastrophic changes even in wvw though. So in a sense, yes, they do matter, just not in a catastrophic fashion— it’s effectively a strawman. 10% matters somewhat. What if Arrow Carts got 5% stronger? Would you all be fine if we buffed Hundred Blades by 10%? I honestly don’t think Death Shroud lasts long enough— 5% will do there. Nobody’s arguing that they’ll get one shot in every fight, but it’s still a real disadvantage.

So I’m going to come up with this: If the stats difference don’t matter, why bother having them at all? You don’t need them to complete the content we have no; there’s no harder content to have. So in that case, it should be fine if Ascended Weapons are only 1% stronger, or hell not even stronger at all.

At this point people will get mad and use the circular logic of “It’s coming anyways, and thus you are X”. Which might be true too, but hey I find it funny anyways.

I don’t even oppose vertical progression (just that it is frequently implemented problematically), but this should be fun if anyone can give a legitimate argument.

I think you missed the point of his comment. If I get what he’s saying right he is implying that people who think they need a full set of ascended weapons in 2 weeks are jumping the gun a little bit. There is no where in the game that needs ascended weapons to be competitive in.

And from what anet has said they’re going to give us more traits to work with by the end of 2013 so you might just get your 5% stronger death shroud or 10% stronger 100 blades.

i was implying anet is too lazy to make challenging content that requires you to be more powerful than we already are, all we get is living story trash that holds your hand the whole way. If they added for example a new zone with new mechanics and powerful monsters then, yeah i’m all for ascended weapons but for now we don’t need that.

nothing is hard enough to kill that we need more weapon damage

ascended weapons aren’t needed right now

“can we get a dev rework” hahahaha

once again, why did you change a good system from the first game?

no variety, and its not even tradable…

yep, i lost all hope in arenanet i doubt they will ever develop anything even remotely comparable to guild wars 1 in this game. about to just give up entirely on this game

luckily this year has tons of great games coming out

is this the only thing you can come up with for living story?

I tried to make another character after a few months absence and i can’t handle how bad personal story is setup. In regards to the expansion, PLEASE go back to the guild wars 1 mission model. Group based, longer missions that are fun with cutscenes to keep the story interesting. None of this 2 way convo dialog garbage that everybody skips.

Evon Skyfyre.9673:

The overall game is very casual (pve) they are trying to draw hard core players back, they gave it a sniff and most left. But that should not reflect on the game, they are the 1%r’s. They never stay anywhere long, they always fly back to WOW and stand around til something new comes out. It’s the locust effect.

i was a hardcore guild wars 1 player for years, i stopped playing this game daily 2 months ago. i don’t see me ever playing this game for more than an hour a day with the way they handle kitten

is the mini queen jennah going to be tradable?

i’m assuming it will be, as the GW1 minis were tradable

I’m kinda new to playing GW2 but I’ve noticed there is a lot of ‘temporary’ content that comes in every couple of weeks. While I really love how there is really active development scene, it’s kind of really sad to see so much of it go to waste and get removed. Never to be seen again.

Does anyone like this temporary content? What’s the reasoning behind it?

Do you think maybe they could add like a ‘time portal’. Which would let you select from a list the past content and experience some of the stuff that was removed.

It just feels like with such an active development cycle, they could be building onto the game and giving more and more things for people to do, for years to come, once the money or development dries up.

What’s your thoughts?

nobody likes the temporary content, and who ever is in charge of living story is too ignorant to listen to the community

its ok just let them make more temporary content. everyone knows it will destroy the game in the long run.

haha yeah, dont worry though theres a new festival every month!

sad because this game has so much potential but instead they just make 5 achievements forcing you to run around the map pressing f on objects

Dardevilmon.6702:

lupercaleb.6041:

the majority of the community obviously didn’t play the original guild wars and are all bandwagoners who think the 2 in GW2 is just a dragon

Or they arleady know what happens in whit abbandon and now want some new lore that is as quoted by devs stongly attached to gw2 lore.

the guild wars 2 lore sucks though compared to guild wars 1

Nibi.3572:

I think you’ll find that that is not the case… as the election did not show that.

you gotta be joking if you think another festival event every month is more meaningful than a fractal about some of the best story elements in the series

i’m pretty sure most people would rather see abaddon in guild wars 2 than half of the stuff thats going to come out in the next few months…

solo attitude is killing this game

Zoid.2568:

Well.. I did pretty much everything you can do in Bazaar of the four winds. Took me 4 days to complete most of the useful achievements. It’s a nice change to get a new zone with new stuff to do, Bazaar was really different and fun. Had really fun those 4 days and the new achievement sytem is very good.

Looking forward to Crystal Desert in about a week. Hopefully more content than Bazaar of the four winds have.

where did you hear that we are getting a desert zone?

how about you take time to make something fun instead of this stupid new zone with nothing to do except climb to the top once and grind boring achievements for a useless item that plays a pre-rendered cutscene

HawkMeister.4758:

Seriously OP?
Of all the things to complain about..

just another bullet on the long list of problems

Mad memories, santa’s backpack, jetpack, southsun flower and tentacles, dragon wing cover, shattered dragon wing cover, dream catcher things from this new update….

we have enough backpieces to choose from, lets get weapon skins please

combine this problem with the risk of getting auto banned in one of the aetherblade caches, worst update ever

are they in the store temporarily or forever?

i was planning on getting them with cash but since the dungeon is broken i’m buying it with gold

sucks for ncsoft, lost my $10

if horns get nerfed i’m expecting a 800 gem refund

marriners horn endgame is the best update since fractals

just give us a repeatable dungeon next time instead of a 6 drawn out fetch quest achievements

TSIA, why is there no option to use the skins we earned in pve? i know pvp isn’t about the appearance but i didn’t make sunrise just to use a default greatsword…

garbage i hope it never comes back, wish they would focus on updates that expand the game

Chuo.4238:

I honestly see absolutely no connection between Guild Wars Beyond and GW2. But then again, the living story makes absolutely no sense. It’s certainly not a story.

well war in kryta just showed us how the white mantle got wiped out for good which is why they arent in this game, heart of the north set up gwen and kieren to get married who logan in gw2 is related to but i was referring to the team that made these updates because it obviously isnt the same people making the living story

month after month i am just constantly disappointed with what is happening with the updates. For the last few years of GW1’s run you guys released the beyond content with war in kryta, hearts of the north and wind of change, i was expecting the updates for this game to be even more epic than those. those updates were extremely fun, challenging and had great rewards (medals of honor and the imperial weps)

the storyline of those were actually cool and interesting unlike flame & frost and southsun cove. the best thing about it was that it was another goal you could have on alternate characters to beat, getting an oppressor weapon for each character for example.

ya… gw total had 3 expansion. “eye of the north” just a plug in one. before it had “Factions” and “Nightfall.”

he understood what you were saying he was trying to be a smart kitten but yeah i hope they release something soon the living story is not what we need

No he was being correct. The OP on the other hand has yet to admit he’s wrong and just keeps on rambling as if he is correct. There is a name for people like that.

As for the living story it is fine, but it does need to be improved. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean they should do something else.

you can tell op doesn’t speak english well that other kid was just being a dooche bag, and if you think content that is beatable in an hour or less is good for this game i have nothing left to say to you

MMO’s are not something you beat, but if you truly think you need to only do content once, than there is really nothing left to say to you either.

haha its funny, because i would agree with you that you can’t truly beat an MMO, but the living story is NOT REPEATABLE

its not even in the game anymore!

I was thinking the same thing. since anet wants to use the temporary living story elements to introduce permanent content what if the two companies do go to war over the black lion’s monopoly and in the end is how they bring back player to player trade saying that one company shouldn’t have control over all the trade in the game, obviously still keeping the TP but just adding in the extra trade option

not sure why this was taken out of this game, but in the games current state it is too laggy most of the time to properly dodge based off monsters animation we need the little bar under their name showing us hes casting a skill like guild wars 1 had

And you could solo what required 12 man groups in GW1? Tell me more.

Misinformed much? Two entirely optional elite missions had 12 man teams. That was how GW1 handled it’s team-only content. It was just there if you wanted it – much like PvP. No pressure.

I couldnt solo the whole Prophecies campaign when it came out. Much of it was group content that also gated access to later soloable areas, plain and simple. GW1 storyline content when it came out was difficult to impossible with the henchmen, they werent even close to as capable or useful as the latter heroes.

Now we have people here that bought GW1 4 years after it came out, with tons of additions that made the old content easy and soloable and claim it was always that way and designed for it. That’s just false, and still it is repeated over and over here.

yes this is so true, most people never played gw1 in its prime when everyone actually helped each other instead of just running heroes

TSIA

i think this would get more people doing events in the emptier zones when everyone actually knows where to go

loling at all the replies saying no, its like people don’t even want to be slightly challenged…

spectral agony was in guild wars 1 so if they bring back the mursaat and jade armor then i am expecting to see them using agony

Let me use my PvE skins and bring back the zaishen key system

there is 0 motivation for a lot of people to even consider going to sPvP

Brave Sir Ryan.1240:

After seeing Vulpis pop up on so many threads, I clicked out of curiosity and holy crap! It looks like hundreds of posts complaining on this subject!

I don’t care who you are, that’s impressive.

yeah i guess hes trying to give the effect that the majority of players hate dungeons by posting everywhere, meanwhile its the opposite

hoping anet listens to the right players
