Guild Wars 2

Yes ….we have raids ….but I personally think that after 3 years of doing same dungeons ( now nerfed so no reason to do it) , ANET should’ve added at least few dungeons in HoT.

You think there will be new dungeons in the future ? ……I really hope so

kitten I want remove this post but no option ……any one know how to ?

ok….will delete this post than

So I post yesterday my little complain about maps been empty and I was getting quite frustrating……and I looked for a solution.

The solution is quite easy …..time/schedule your meta-events.

Didn’t know about a site that have HoT Maps Timer (http://dulfy.net/2015/11/09/gw2-hot-maps-timer-famme)
and I really wanted to do the meta event in DS for first time.
Checked the map timer and saw that the event was going to start in 10 minutes (was around 18:00CET)….moved to DS ….started the event ….and finished all playing with tons of players, and that’s what I did all evening and always found people playing.

Indeed around late night maps are getting quite empty so I focused on getting some HP I was still missing.

I have to say….that little map timer tool helped a lot …..so my advice to other players that have problems to find grp players in map …..use that link …..and do DS event during peak time (17:00 till 20:00) best way to find players.

About the crashes…..I have a 64bit OS……installed the 64bit client …..never had a single crash

My only complain about HoT are the meta events which are the only way to get your leveling up…..there’s less people every day in maps doing events ….and sometime you just running around the map looking for one.

Goldrock.9076:

whole point of the meta events to begin with were so the game felt alive and you would run across them in your travels. Not a stupid idea though i wouldnt go so far to be that hasrh.Just seems like it kills the original concept behind the events.

I guess the events in the old Tyria were much more fluid than HoT , and now is not feeling alive at all on my opinion

I’m enjoying playing HoT but I think Anet is punishing a lot solo/casual players with these new meta-events which are the most efficent way to leveling.

The biggest problem I have when I play is to find a group of players and what event they do, and sometime (like yesterday evening) I ran around for an hour and when I finally found some one doing an event ….the event is over or almost,or I found a small group of players and because the small size of the group we are unable to complete the event.

This start to drammaticaly slow down my leveling , and reading the forum I’m not the only one having problems.

So I was thinking a way to better organise the meta-events….this my idea.
Create a specific LFG/P tool only for meta-events….this how should work.

Let’s say there’s an event ongoing to capture the outpost near Noble Ledges in Verdant Brink, you open the,let’s called for now “meta-partecipant” tool and you select the meta event you are partecipating to and ofc where.

So if I go to Verdant Brink …..instead running around the map/waypoints in order to find where the majority of players are and what meta are doing,I just open the “meta-partecipant” tool and I can see which meta-event players are doing and how many players are partecipating at it,so if I see that 30 players are at the nobel crash site but only 10 are at the Jaka Itzel’s outpost I will go directly there (without wasting time running around the map) and select in the meta-partecipant tool that I’m partecipating at that meta-event.

Basicaly with this tool you will know how many players are in that map , which meta they doing and most important…..you know directly where to go when you want do an event , and if there’s no one doing events at that time at least you know and you can do other things instead running around the map wasting your time.

Maybe this idea seems stupid and pointless at first , but imagine how better you can organize groups for the meta-events in Tangled Depths and Dragon’s Stand.

What you guys think ?

BlinkFishtacos.6931:

I am a new player and when I bought the game it came with the expansion, so I don’t necessarily know what the differences are other than what I read. However, I can’t see how everyone is so ridiculously upset about the expansion. It has interesting aspects to it, promotes group play (which is in the name of the game….) and allows you access to more than you had before. Like in any online game, patches are given and changes are made so the nerfs to dungeons, and whatever else was probably going to happen regardless of whether or not HoT came out, so why is everyone having a panic attack?

If you like the game before the expansion there is no reason that I can see to not like it anymore. There is more to do and there is always PvP to switch things up a bit. The new specs completely change the playstyle of all professions which I thought is something that people would be excited about… but all I see on this forum is mass amounts of hate. People rant about one thing after another, and I feel like it’s uncalled for. If you don’t enjoy the game anymore, I doubt that it’s because of HoT and you should just stop playing. Games are supposed to be fun, guys!

All that said, I got my first character to level 80 a couple days ago and although I haven’t tried a lot of the endgame content, I have thoroughly enjoyed myself thus far and can’t imagine that changing any time soon.

Welcome to GuildWars and gz on your 80

See ya back in few weeks when you trying to do meta-events in HoT in order to leveling up and no one in maps ( already happening now).
That’s my only complain if HoT …meta-events ……if you casual/solo player….you probably get to lvl10 mastery than…..it’s all about find players doing event …..good luck

lordhelmos.7623:

-General focus on world events creates this feeling that I don’t have control over my own progression, that I’m sitting here waiting on 200 people on a map to do their stuff right so that I can get anywhere. As player, I generally don’t feel important anymore. Getting anything in this game seems to be just sheer luck. Whether is getting a precursor drop or getting into a good map. There is no player control over their growth at all.

Totally agree on this …..

A huge negative impact is that in the old Tyria world you could progress playing solo, with HoT this is totally gone , or you play with a group of friend/guild mates to do meta events or forget the progression

Raziel.4216:

Mandatory can I have your stuff post

The grind mentality is your problem, not Anet’s, after the change my alt’s specializations just came by doing normal content.
The crashes are tecnical problems that could or could not be Anet’s fault, most of the time it’s usually related to the user’s system.

You really sound a fanboy in love with Anet , did you ever check the post about the crashes ? It’s an out of memory issue of the client not related to the user’s system.

About the grind mentality …….the way of leveling has changed dramatically in HoT and if you read the forum …..the majority of people DON’T like it ….so it’s an Anet’s problem !!!

I’m using Windows 64 bit and game keep crashing randomly.

-snip-
Any one tried the GW2 64bit client , does it still crashing ?

Many players have posted that OOM crashes stopped completely after switching to the 64bit client.
You should try it.

I will….thanks for the advice

….and while now every tag doing raids …….maps are completely empty !!!!
how do I level up ?

I voted the old Tyria 10/10 , but Hot……
Game keep crashing (and tons of people have same issue)

Maps aren’t that bad , and I like how hard is to find a mastery or HP point ,about the meta event ….maps are getting empty so it’s almost impossible to run an event even in VB ….consequently…….leveling up taking life time.

HoT punish solo/casual players ……if you don’t play with huge group of friend/guild mates …forget about fully progressing HoT ….that wasn’t happening in the old Tyria, and this also the reason why lots of people quit Gw2 lately.

What’s really I miss now in GW2 is the freedom of doing what I want like in the old Tyria …..now I’m forced to grind xps in order to progress , which is fine …..but how can I progress if the xps I get coming from events that MUST been done with lots of players …..when there’re no players in that map ???

I give HoT a -6/10 because tha game mechanics are totally racist !!!!

Any one tried the GW2 64bit client , does it still crashing ?

So , I’m trying hard to grind xps doing events but since the raids came out , maps (even VB) are quite empty.
Yesterday I ran around VB trying to find a small group to do events and we were 3 people (from 8pm till 11pm).
Normally when I find no people in maps I go do some crafting ….come back after 1/2hour and than map is full again……but really lately no one doing events , so how I’m supposed to level up my mastery ?
Another thing I disagree with HoT is that now became almost impossible play solo and the only way to do meta-events and gain some good amount of xps , is to play with big group of player …..I really miss the old quest system , at least you can play solo and progress anyway.

Don’t get me wrong , I still love the game and the map design is great , is just that Anet seems more focus only to make a game for players that only play in groups and not for casual players.

Maybe I’m wrong….what’s your opinion ?

Red Queen.7915:

Everyone who logged in at least once for each chapter when they first launched had it unlocked for free. You weren’t there, that sucks, but raging here that you have to pay for additional content is… weird? Buying the core game once does not entitle you to everything for free forever. And you do not need S2 to progress at all.

…I see you had no trouble paying for the expansion. Why is it so absurd to pay for something that can be seen as DLC as well?
Right now, there are tons of temporarily-free ebooks on Amazon, which will cost money again soon. I could trawl Amazon to find them all and get them for free, but if I don’t, I can’t rage about how I should get them for free because they once were free but aren’t now. This applies to LS. If you were there, good for you, you could grab it for free. If you took a long break and weren’t, you’ll need to buy it with gems (and be glad that’s an option, you don’t even have to pay with cash if you don’t want to). How is that such a horrible idea?

Just keep that in mind for a potential Season 3, if you do keep playing.

I’m not raging at all…..im just politely complaining about something I don’t agree.

Played GW2 from day one and quit in summer 2013 with 720hours of game play.

Returned few weeks ago created a new char and started my adventure again.

I got quite disappointed when I discovered that I HAVE TO PAY (again) in order to do Season 2.

What the heck ……I payed 50e already for GW2 …..100e for the Ultimate Edition and now you want me to pay another 20e to do Season 2 ?

Sorry ArenaNet ……but you going to far here , I bought already GW2 so make no sense to have me pay another 20e to do Season 2 ….why ?
I was expecting that only people who get the F2P copy have to pay for it ……but not who bought the game when it came out !!!!

Luckily I had 4000gems coming with the Ultimate edition so I used it to do Season2 without paying again (even if I pay it anyway with gems…..but it feels less aggressive) , otherwise I think I would have quit the game.

Honestly I think this is not fair at all …..yes I know ArenaNet needs to make money ….and I always supported the company (when I played in the past) buying gems , but really …..you can’t ask money again to play a content that you need in order to enjoy the story and eventually progress the game.

Peace

Thanks for the tip , I did it but problem persist

Anet I need your help here :P

I have the same problem to , after 5 minute entering that map game crash

I’m having problem with one map in fractals , the game always crash after few minutes I enter that map.
The game runs perfectly ….it’s just on that map that crash,
I attached a screen of the map since I don’t know the name.

System spec
Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Proc : Intel i7-3770@3.40Ghz
Mem : 8GB
VGA : GeForce GTX 670 2 GB

Every time game crash , I always sent report to Anet , so you should be able to read the log.

I have this problem from the first day fractals started, hope you will be able to fix this problem

Thanks

ahh ok….duno why I always thought that loot was going directly to the inv :P

thanks for all ur answer

It is only me or seems autoloot is not working ?
On my account is well enable it but still I have to press F to get the loot.
If I remember well if autoloot is on the loot should directly go on ur inventory without press F ?
Unfortunately for me not working at all, even if I trun off/on the option.

I already sent a Bug report via the game but no answer yet.

Thanks for reading this.

any one can advice if game performs better on mac os or under bootcamp ?
shouldn’t be the same since bother are emulators ?

After GW2 came out ….in like a week I saw ppls already get to lvl 80.
So I realised how easy is lvling in GW2 and decided to roll a character for each race, doing this I enjoi all the story lines see all the areas and know alsmot all the professions.
If you played GW1 you know that pve wasn’t the strong part of the game but pvp or at that time gvg (guild vs guild).
Be sure that anet will bring up more pve contents soon.
Roll other races/professions if u have max out ur main character.

lucky I didnt took any xp boost …..is there any chance to get refund if I used gems to buy xp boost and server went down ?
