Guild Wars 2

i was expecting at least a cutscene for this finale, like an overview of everything and whats to come…

Arcturus.3602:

open on Anvil Rock

THANK YOU BRO HOLY kitten THANK YOU

anything open i need kitten shards

two times today i’ve gotten screwed over because the host left the dungeon

when will this get fixed?

Elbegast.6970:

GW1 was completely soloable. GW2 should be as well.

I say a hearty “Nay!” to grouped content. This isn’t 2004. It’s time MMOs moved on.

go play a single player game if you don’t like playing with others

the new dungeon is great, this is the kind of update we need. SAB was the wrong direction to go, making it soloable. this game is an MMO, group play is what these kinds of games are made for. i hope the next living story has more instanced areas like this one

THe last three updates have been horrible 10 minute content, supposedly being “teaser” content leading up to the finale.

If this update doesn’t deliver then my faith is lost in this game and company

Luthan.5236:

Best elite is “Alt+F4”.

op needs nerf

Aza.2105:

Elites are terrible in gw2, none of them have much synergy with builds. Were as with gw1, your build revolved around your elite.

And it seems to me, that Anet had a fetish with transforms. Two of guardian elites are transforms, warrior has one, ele has one, engi has one, I think all of necros are transform elites (lol), mesmer elite transforms the enemy.

Elites should of been much better versions of skill types the class already has, like for guardian they should have: A elite meditation, a elite shout, a elite spirit weapon, a elite signet, a elite symbol and a elite consecration and virtue. The same type of pattern should apply to the other classes.

And the cooldowns should be as long as normal skills, 3min cooldowns do not fit with such a fast paced game. I don’t think there were no 3min cds in gw1. I think the max I remember seeing was 1min.

yeah i hate all the transform skills

NCSOFT needs some of that gem store money

nexxe.7081:

Any news on multiple (or dual) trait builds? I really miss this from GW1. The ability to switch between different builds was amazing and efficient. As it is now, we need to re-trait everytime we reset our builds.

yeah i really don’t understand why they took out the ability to ping builds, save and load them

ZudetGambeous.9573:

www.gw2lfg.com we already have a comprehensive well crafted, buggless lfg tool.

yes that is what everyone uses but it is 3rd party, its ridiculous that there isn’t an ingame one

SAB has already gotten old, more useless timed content the game doesn’t need right now

will the LFG party search ever be implemented…

are carrion type ascended items ever going to be introduced? i’m pretty sure there are other types missing too

Tower Guard.5263:

The difficulty is fine, not everybody is a hardcore dungeon master. Maybe add a hard mode like dagrdagaz said. It’s a mission for everybody. Especially low lvl player, it’s not a dungeon.

“hardcore dungeon master”

because hard content is only for hardcore players…

i’m pretty sure most people enjoy challenges in games

WatchTheShow.7203:

Dingle.2743:

Firstly, the missions are intended to be done by any player who’s had access to the game for about a week or so, so the mission itself needs to be doable.

As they are, I had no real issue soloing them on an cleric-exotic-geared elementalist, although it took a significant amount of time to complete each mission (around half an hour each). Didn’t get downed, but I came fairly close.

A new player will not be so skilled at the game, will not be fully geared up, and on most professions will experience the mission as hard as you want it to be. I’d say it doesn’t need to be any harder (and the new Molten Alliance enemies in Wayfarer Foothills are probably a tad too hard for a starting zone – a guildmate got roflstomped on a new engineer exploring there after the update). As it stands, I don’t think the mission rewards quite meet up with the time investment either, but that’s a separate issue. 1k karma and around 6-7 silver for half an hour’s work… doesn’t particularly match up with any other level 80 content.

As for having a group-centric mission, remember that there’s still one more update to come in the Flame & Frost arc, and it’s likely to contain the finale to this story. It wouldn’t be outside the realm of possibility for that to be a group mission or even a full-blown dungeon, complete with post-story explorable mode.

However, I’m mostly against being forced to party up to experience new content which is focused around telling a story. It’d be fine if they make a story mode dungeon that scales up difficulty and rewards for groups while still being solo-able, though

Heck, there might even be a couple more story missions that’ll just unlock in the weeks to come like the lost objects did during March. Nobody outside of ANet really knows at this point.

I would like to second this. I found the missions to be at the perfect difficulty. I did the missions on my glass cannon ranger (I’m a VERY good dodger). I had a few close calls, especially when both pets were dead and Rox just kind of stood there and let me have the limelight. Fortunately, well timed dodges saved the day and I didn’t go down.

>glass cannon ranger
obviously you going to have a problem because of the ranger handicap, i steamrolled through this content on my guard and mes

this is a good start for living story, it reminds me of war in kryta and winds of change but i feel like these missions were too easy.

you guys should design these missions around group play like dungeons making them require 5 people to do

Soulstar.7812:

A-Net surprises us by doing nothing.

It’s the best April Fool’s gift ever…. disappointment.

i definitively think they will do something, they always did for guild wars 1

April 1st is coming up, anyone else think gw2 is going to be invaded by commandos?

DaisyRogers.6837:

Dr Ritter.1327:

it makes me lol when a ranger wants to do a dungeon

like what are you gonna do other than get downed and attempt to kite

You’ve never done a dungeon with my ranger then. My Pets do a significant amount of aggro soak.

My ranger also provides a good amount of support utility with a pulsing condition cleanse and protection via a well placed spirit (key is placement). I also provide a ton of AoE healing via elite spirit and can single handly rescue a close party wipe via same spirit.

I can keep semi permanent fury up via horn and healing (runes).

And since I am tanky as hell, no my ranger is usually the last to go down if we screwed it up.

And My pets do pretty decent dps.

You simply haven’t run dungeons with decent rangers.

I could say the same about the LOL zerker warriors dropping seconds into a fight, but I also know that a warrior played well is a huge benefit.

still no reason to choose a ranger over a guard

i’d pay like $5 a month for a membership program or something

sub fee just to play hell no

it makes me lol when a ranger wants to do a dungeon

like what are you gonna do other than get downed and attempt to kite

Dr Ritter.1327:

7 months after the game has been released and I still have to visit a 3RD party website to find a dungeon group. Honestly this should be top priority on the update list not laurels and living 3achievement story.

Everytime it gets brought up “a team is hard at work blah blah blah” how about you step up and actually get it done because this is one of the most important updates this game needs to survive.

If you successfully ran 2-3 dungeons with other players, then you should have atleast 4-12 players in your Friends list.

Part of being “social”, as you mentioned, in GW2 is keeping good players you played with in the past in your friends’ list and run a dungeon with them again later.

The fact that you’re not keeping friends is hardly ANET’s fault if you choose not to be “social” regardless of how they advertized the game.

Your friends’ list is a great LFG tool.

i don’t add people i don’t know irl to my friends list, i’m not doing dungeons to make friends and i’m pretty sure a majority of the players are the same way

if they added a karka boss that spawns like the dragons it would breathe more life into the place

i know im in the same situation i got tokens taking up more than half my bank. the tokens even say “deposit collectible” when you right click so im assuming thatt anet is going to give us some dedicated storage for them

it also doesnt help when keep adding more of these tokens in updates (guild commendations, fractals relics etc..)

Oolune.4357:

They don’t need more than the one they already put in.

hahah good one, you obviously don’t do fractals

Dr Ritter.1327:

Sorry we don’t all enjoy siting in LA for 4 hours getting message suppressed trying to spam LFG

If you’re standing around spamming the chatbox, then you’re obviously failing miserably at socializing.

What many here don’t seem to understand is that socializing is two way street, you need to actually show others your worthwhile to play with if you have any hopes of gaining a playmate. The best way to socialize in this game is actually go out and assist someone in PvE, WvW, or even in a random sPvP match. When another player sees you help them, they generally respond in kind. The rest is up to you in how you convince them to play with you.

Otherwise standing around in LA screaming (spamming) " Look at me! Play with me! fill the role I’ve designated for you or leave me alone!" Of course I’m exaggerating here, but point is there’s no social aspect here. You either fill someone’s role or they want no part of you. That’s like going to store and just plucking the ripe grapes off the whole stems and discarding the rest.

Socializing is really not that hard, but it’s certainly possible in GW2. You actually have to be nice to someone. Heaven forbid you should actually play the game and meet someone on equal terms. Nobody like to be discarded or treated as anything less than human. Many players seriously underestimate how discriminatory and soulless the LFG tool is.

ain’t nobody got time for that

SpyderArachnid.5619:

They just need to take the LFG tool from GW1, and add it to GW2. That’s it. The one in GW1 was perfect. Except make it zone wide so you can be anywhere and still find groups.

Just don’t make an auto-queue system like WoW and all those other MMOs have. We don’t need that sort of laziness here. Keep it like GW1’s LFG tool and everything will be fine.

yes party search in gw1 was the best

Craywulf.5793:

LFG website is for people who lack the courtesy to socialize in-game. A LFG tool is extremely discriminatory. It fosters the notion that you are in the game for others to use to fill a role.

Socializing is hard, but it needs to be encouraged otherwise we are just bunch brats with each other when we don’t get what we want.

Sorry we don’t all enjoy siting in LA for 4 hours getting message suppressed trying to spam LFG

Gelltor.3015:

I don’t understand why people get so worked up about this,the lfg site is perfectly functional,so I don’t see why the devs should devote resources to making something that can already be gotten…..
And besides,if they do make one and it’s not as good as the lfg site,then it will actually hurt the dungeon finding as people will just be usin that one.

it is 2013 a feature to FIND A GROUP should be standard in an MMO, especially one that markets itself as SOCIAL

they better step up the free updates if they aren’t working on expansions at the moment…

flame and frost has been a joke so far i am expecting some good stuff this and next month

Flamenco.3894:

To precizely seperate them from the method of grinding FotM and making them gear meant for all players.

If you could trade them in for pristine relics then that would mean that if you grinded you could possibly get them faster and more of them. Now there is an achievement gate instead of a gate that includes grinding up to higher levels of FotM to get pristine relics.

If i want to grind for it i should be able to

Game design is not about what you think you want or consider fair.

must be some great design since i have a whole load of these leftover relics that do nothing…

Why are the newer ascended items (trinkets/amulets) not able to be acquired in FoTM? Their purpose is to give agony resistance so why not let us either get them from jade maw dailies or trade pristine relics for them…

this just happened in lions arch, i thought it was an event for living story but i guess not

jade maw fractal is in cantha…

I flew right through the story mode on my first character solo which at the time i had no problems with. Now that me and a friend decided to make new characters we wanted to be different races. I don’t know if this is intended or glitched but every mission we do even at the same quest level, doesn’t let either of us progress our story. This means we have to go back and fourth between the charr and norn story. Not only is this frustrating, but a majority of the quests are “talk to logan!” or just entering an instance just so i can skip the boring 2 hour dialog…

What happened honestly… Guild Wars 1 story was easy and fun to do with friends i guess it was more group oriented. I liked playing a single mission that had multiple cutscenes and objectives instead of “DRESS UP AS BANDIT, KILL DRAKE, 10 MINUTE CONVERSATION, HERE HAVE A HELMET REWARD!.”

Desamos.1836:

about Ascended weapons. Got my inquest longbow, inquest sword, inquest dagger, inquest harpoon, and inquest spear gun. Put superior sigil of fire, and energy runes on them. Now Ascended weapons have come to my attention, and that I will soon no longer have max damage weapons. What was the point of me working so hard getting all this gear?

Welcome to Weenie Hut Juniors how casual are you?

Phantax.1369:

Im not a RP player as such, but I do feel this game would benefit from a greater range of emotes, both visual and voice !

yeah i don’t rp either i just like to have emotes available to use lol

Fyrebrand.4859:

Whoa! They did have a lot of emotes. But, surely they weren’t all there from launch.

That /aion emote sounds pretty neat. I could go for one of those.

the /aion emote if i remember correctly was part of a promotion if you bought that game it would give you the emote in guild wars, other than that most of them were in the game at launch

are more emotes going to be implemented? many emotes from the first game are missing like the instruments

This has been a problem since the beta, when i open my friends list or the guild tab the game lags like crazy. Is this ever going to get fixed?

being able to join and leave mid-match is dumb

bump 15 character limit

The Guild Wars 1 costume system was handled so much better than it is in this game. You can’t even wear your festival hat with your armor now. What happened?

i know there is a candy cane hammer skin, besides that are there more candy cane weapons?

i remember gw1 had every type of weapon available as a candy cane figured they would in this game

Genesis.5169:

People complaining they can’t steam roll all content.
You guys won’t be happy till everything is 1shot k.o. and you get free exotics for just a login.

Infraction inc. But i really had to put that out there.

I’m not asking for things to be easier, i’m asking for them to work. A “Group Event” can’t be completed because there are no groups… I know you think your comment was edgy but you just sound stupid.

i think an easy fix would be to add npcs to replace missing people
