Guild Wars 2

Top 3 I like:
1) Big Fights…
2) Currently better reward System than pvp…
3) Good coordinated Groups can kill bigger Groups…

But with each of those there comes a negative point

Top 3 I don’t Like:
1) … but mostly the numbers decide and not the skill of the players.
2) … the reward is bad compared to PvE (exception: karma)
3) … ralley System – everyone gets a ralley because of the upleveld players – wvw should
be more like pvp in this regard – everyone should have at least max stats (in my
opinion).

No – next patch there will be a rare minipet that cost 20silver and can be put into the mystic forge and prices will crash again

sfidare.2503:

Just spent my first and last $10 on gems to open a few chests. Not worth it by a long shot.

People will spend money when you deliver value, but the current suite of chest contents aren’t worth the money. Improvement needed.

Neverwinter’s nightmare chests are far more gratifying to open because the loot is better.

Thats why everyone loves Gw2 – no need of using the gemstore, it`s only a way to show the devs your support

Would love it → I’m playing always healer, it`s great to find a group fast ^^

If this would cause serious server perfomance problems – why didn`t crash all the servers while fighting tequatl? – If it would be that fatal it would be fixed earlier, I think this is just a reason they gave us for the nerf so that not many ppl would complain – maybe Bill can explain why we had never real performance issues to experience while 120ppl used those items…

BillFreist.1527:

The fact that most of these items ever existed is just blatantly a bug. The decision to throw cooldowns on them were for server performance/stability as the patch notes said, not for balance. Period. This was something that was long overdue.

Think of it this way: Between the embers and whistle, those items were effectively doubling/tripling the amount of players active in a map.

As for the Charrzooka, I’m not sure what the reasoning behind that change was. That wasn’t part of the change to summons, or at least that I’m aware of.

The bringer of bad news,

Edit: Btw Bill loving all the things you did for the wvw server performance so far ^^, that one was to experience

I think 2 hours is fine for a boss. Otherwise it becomes trivial and farmable (and people would just camp permanantly and block others getting in to that server). WHat it needs is in between activities/events either leading up to it or in the aftermath (depending on win/loss) to keep people occupied. Even if it means taking players to other zones.

This boss is temporary. There’s nothing fine about making a temporary boss be on a very long timer – especially when its the goal for the current living story. They said in one of the interviews on this patch that the marionette wasn’t supposed to be a tequatl level boss – yet, it definitely requires the coordination that tequatl needs – if not 10 times that much.

I totally understand what you are saying, I just don’t personally agree 2 hours is a long time. It just feels a long time because all there is is 2 bosses and nothing else and thus waiting in a zone for a spawn feels even worse. Some activities would alleviate that a lot.

I guess it will also come down to how long this “temporary” boss is around for. If it is 2 weeks, then I concede to your point. If 4-6 weeks+ then I stand by 12 spawns a day being adequate.

The point is, most people can only attempt the fight once a day or maybe not once… Not everyone has hours of hours time maybe just 1 or 2 after work or something – for being a !Story! update the timer is far too long I think (and it seems its not a problem to you, but there seem to be a lot of people that have problems with this)
Ty for understanding ;D

Fair enough, I’m not going to argue. We are all allowed differing points of view
p.s I knew you meant marionette btw

Good to know there exist diplomatic people
- didnt Edit only for you – had to make it clear, so there will be no misunderstanding

Look for the gold Star – Its near Sanctum Harbor Waypoint

Are polls allowed? If so, maybe someone should start one…

Lindelle.3718:

Does she spawn at the same time across servers?

I think so, my guild mates where spread across many overflows and it startet everywhere at the same time

Im not talking about the worm – it stays permanent and so Im fine with it, but the marionette i think is a temporary boss and so it would be nice to give everyone a chance to beat it up, not only the people who can play 10hours a day (hamming up but you get it i think)
Edit: All those typos – Im sorry

Pls some dev confirm

Like the topic says at least for the first week the spawn timer of the marionette should be much shorter – the worm is ok but I thought the marionette is a temporary boss and goes away after some weeks – and so some people have not enough time to wait after every attempt 2 hours for the next spawn (30min or 1 hour) would be much better I think.

Edit: This is only about the marionette and not the worm! – Some people seem to missunderstand me

Anet, if you think spamming embers makes Teq too easy, at least admit it and don’t make up BS about performance issues.

It was causing performance issues. Not sure why you ever failed to realize that.

Right, dunno why I never realized that during the 70+ Teq kills I joined, with hard-capped maps full of embers.

Maybe cause in the heat of the moment, you can’t even tell the difference between 10 FPS and 2 FPS.

I got 7 fps, with or without embers – doesn`t matter to my pc, maybe it`s server performance, but I`m not quit sure about that…

• Give an option to make all enemy character models human (so on there own screen they have whatever animation miniaturization they wish while on yours they can be seen) <— this is the obvious choice

^THIS !

I like it, they seem to love what they are doing and so it seems to me it`s just normal to do jokes lol

Jomo kenyatta.7351:

why does this idiotic post get more attention than real pvp posts?

this is not idiotic, its ART !

Kesil.8034:

1. PvP population is 10% compared to the beta

2. How is the spvp?

worst like always

haha that gave me something to laugh
I like this gif ^^

best one, has to be made top by dev PLS

Wintel.4873:

Be man?

How can be man when all is vain?

HOW??

^THIS

I would say, the game relies too much on farming, but maybe thats just me…

what about norn riding centaurs? – no war between them right now – so maybe the sons of svanir decided to take a ride and become cavalry xD

Have you ever considered removing the breaking glass from the skyhammer map, so theat pulls, nockback and fear as well as stability won’t be that overpowered anymore?
Because some classes lack of such things, and I thought you wanted every class having equal chances – onehit abilitys in most forms aren’t a fun gamemechanic, if not everyone has the some amount of it (pulls, knockbacks are one hits on this map sadly).
Maybe just change this for the tournament, maybe you can then go and put it even on teamarena rotation.

Try to tie these ideas into the core foundation of GW2’s systems and mechanics please.

What might be done to make vertical progression in GW2 more enjoyable?

• Make gear upgradeable rather than disposable

[…]

Make gear upgradeable is a very nice Idea – it`s already implemented in some way through the mystic forge, but i think a better way of upgrading gear would be to have a system implemented that allows you to take a piece of gear and upgrade it to the next higher tier, so for example you have a SOLDIERS shoulder piece, and you can upgrade it to an exotic version (also SOLDIERS shoulder piece) -> this could be added to help people upgrade exotics to ascended (also SOLDIERS shoulder piece).
That would remove forcing us to use the RNG-elements in the game which most players don`t like.
I have something in mind like: you craft yourself to 500 as e.g. tailor and then you get the option to upgrade existing exotics to acsended or a mystic forge recepie (not RNG- based!).
This could also be put into wvw and you can upgrade your gear there for badges of honor, gold, karma – unlocked with wvw level 100 or so. (adjust those numbers so it needs an equal amount of effort in every part of the game – dungeons – wvw – guild commendations – fractals) and so on, where ascended gear is hard to get right now or RNG-based (fractals, wvw).
I think the idea of ascended gear as a long term goal between exotic and legendary is really good, but right now it only focuses on people who play at least pve – not the wvw and the pvp guys (who mostly play wvw too) and its RNG only for all the people who dont craft, because they play the game instead of farming frostgorge for mats and money .

Am I the only one who misses the Wallpaper on the Release page?
It`s always my desctop background until the next release.

PLS give us those nice Wallpapers

Hoping for a race change since months, but i`m worried it will never happen, would even accept having to do personal story again without rewards for it and losing every cultural armor and so on …

ah ok, didnt know that

A few minutes ago I was playing some wvw and we got to a tower ( green borderland, Sunnyhill tower).
We put down a few flame rams and started hammering on the door.
The tower was t2 (reinforced door and wall).
I played with my warrior and stood right in front of the door.
Now I used my skills brain afk as always and suddenly I was after using hundret blades and whrilwind attack through the closed door (it had like 80%). Some other guy (an elementalist with his firegreatsword) was through the door, too.
Like every normal player I went up the stairs and jumped back out of the tower.
Went back to the door and used my Whirlwind Attack again, and suddenly I was through the door again (it had 40% health).

I`m not sure but I think this is exploitable because it seems like you can catapult players through the door with whirlwind attacks like warrior gs skill 3 and elementalist firegreatsword skill 3.

We will try again at the next tower if the problem is related to the skills or a specific tower or one of the flameram abilitys.

This all is a must have

TY FOR THE UPDATE – YOU MADE IT TOO EASY GG

TY FOR DESTROYING DIFFICULT CONTENT -.- ><

I want my old gong temple back….

this retarted update made the SAB too easy – thats my point of view

Don`t QQ guys, its possible to do it solo, i did it two times – one for Evon and one for Kiel. It`s difficult, but not impossible.
Everyone is complaining about the game because its too easy, and every time ArenaNet comes up with something challenging, the people start to complain again.

haha it was fun to watch qqTroopers tournament xD the two necros from TP just owned the enemy teams xD
I think everyone can imagine what Xeph is talking about after seeing this – i will call it slaughter xD

GIVE US CANTHA NCSOFT ! just my statement

LUXON FTW !!!!
