Im sure this have been reported zillion times but since Anet doesnt ‘see’ i think i will do it also.

Fix his AoE already! Insted of original 90 or so degree angle now his AoE not only works in 180 one but also randomly kills people behind him.

Few weeks ago he was right but you guys just had to introduce one more bug into game.?

I get that you are busy doing some irrelevant stuff like wintersday which noone likes , but could you please turn your attention and fix actual game content before doing new one?

Cheers

2/10 , only because we have PvP.

No balance at all.
No attention to pvp whatsoever.
One numb and boring game mode which looks like it was designed in 10 minutes.
Only 2 viable builds.
Lots and lots of bugs leaving some classes utterly useless.
No rankings,ladders or any sort of achievment system.

And i could continue for long time but i value my time too much to do that.

If to be honest i didint read anything you wrote but answer to your question is – NO. This isint PvP game in any universe. This game has worst PvP i’ve seen in my 13 years of gaming experience. Period

FLFW, my wayward son. You haven’t a clue. GuildWars2 has the best PvP mechanics/playstyle i’ve seen in any MMO, and others would agree. It is by far the superior MMO right now if you look at it in that light. What Ayraswag is trying to say is that he understands what potential this game had (and still has i guess), and it’s a mighty great big shame to see it being treated like this, and that is why he’s annoyed (as are many, many others). We don’t care for PvE, we don’t care about Wintersday, we just want Leader boards, Spectator mode, Tournaments, and publicity. We understand things take time, but ANet have had enough time.

Probably u havent played too many mmos, ur blind, or u just want to make ur 59$ worth.. dont be offended pls.
People dont like the pvp in this game and then dont play it therefore the op had to make a post like this :P.

Actually i did play many of them. I bought this game for PvP as i played GW1 for 3,5 years and im more than obligded to say this is worst pvp i’ve seen. YES this game and even pvp has much potential but in 4 months this cart was only rolling down.

Exoskelet of this game is really great but stuff they are putting on it SUCKS. I dont care much about PvE so i wont talk about that. But PvP is numb and boring. YES you have many ways to build but only few are vialable which makes rest builds useless even thou they do exist.

Current meta only encourages people to play either glass cannon or bunker. Horrid balance and insane op’ness of mesmers and thieves ruins any possible fun. And dont you start that they are not. THEY ARE . Yes i’ve beat many mesmers and thieves , but they were bad but good ones are unkillable. Best you can do is run since mesmer currently can do ~10k dmg in one combo. So thieves with endless stealth spamming heartthing.

I had great expectations for this game…

If to be honest i didint read anything you wrote but answer to your question is – NO. This isint PvP game in any universe. This game has worst PvP i’ve seen in my 13 years of gaming experience. Period

I find it hilarious how one of developer shows up and throws something like ’ we are aware of problem and currently looking in to it’ … 4 months later = nothing changes. Its like faking throw dog a ball .. works every time.

EoNxBoNx.9213:

I really wish people would stop trying to turn this game into World of Warcraft.

The game is ruined badly enough already by trying to make it WoW2 .. GW must be GW and stop trying to contest with WoW ar any other popular MMO name.. Thats what was great about GW , it was different.

Sometimes i just write ’ kitten ’ myself insted of some swear…

So i spend quite some time yesterday using it on various enemies,structures from different ranges and im lost.

How does it work? Hitting with it seems to be random. Even attack animation perfectly hits my target i get MISS most of times. That seems to be 60/40 to missing side.

Maybe im missing something vital here , or maybe it is supposed to be random ? ( thou i doubt it ) .

This is by most worst area in game.

Not to mention i hate Dredge they keep popping from ground and walls on every step. But thats not even bad compared to 2 unreachable Vistas guarded by zillion Dredge.

Everyone who tried to reach 100% map knows the vista in middle , in dredge mountain base the one with chain. And you know what? IT DOESNT WORK. After all wasted time and frustation i finally got up there and stood there clicking on vista and it doesnt work! Until i fell off and died trying to activae that kitten thing.

I wasted all this time to get to 98% and now i cant complete the kitten map because of bugged vista.

I just had to rage out somewhere , cause i feel like i will explode right now.

Sorry everyone who will read this.

FIX kitten VISTA. Thanks

urinfamousr.7631:

its because the dev’s lack depth so its seen i the game they made…and since in their minds “its a great game” things dont change. on top of that they dont listen to their community who tell them from beta the issues they have with their games why? because in their minds “its a great game” so u see alot of things go unfixed…

The game will NEVER be massively altered to what we as a community would like it to be because 1 Anet doesnt listen to their customers. they already have our money so nothing we can do about that except NOT give them more when expansions come out.

If you feel u didnt get what you paid for dont give them more in hopes of getting what you wanted the first time you paid.

I dont think that they think this is great game. I think they just dont care. Its worse case scenario and you make game you dont care about. They care about profit and thats too obvious now. They wont do any changes which wont pay off in terms of increased gems purchase and since PvP doesnt bring any real income.. no changes on PvP.

Shame on you Anet.. shame.

Strong ? Yes

Too strong? No

It really takes time and practice to master ele , im yet to do that . Lots of learning left infront of me still.

Its very easy to be bad on ele actually but if you can get your hands on it well you will be feared oponent.

Gw 1 features , where are they ?

They are back in GW1, which GW2 isn’t.

GW1 = GW1
GW2 = GW2

Same world and lore but they are very different games.

GW1 = GW1
GW2 = Lots of unused potential and wrong decisions

Maybe fix up the ones we already have ? then make new ones.. imagine new class. + 100 bugs into game:D

Asterisk.2564:

Fact is, since this game has no dedicated healers down state is needed unless you want everyone to be running a glass cannon build.

Not true. Once glass cannon lets out his combo he is walking target and thats then your chance comes in.

Anyway removing downstate would force people to actually think of what they are doing and take care of their ‘lifes’ . Guardians would start to guard someone esle insted of themself, builds like healing/support eles would be useful. Engis would come back into scene also with all their utility .

Now all you have is zerging fiesta with noone taking even slightest care of anyone else around them.

I wont even mention fixing bugs and balancing classes ’cause its obvious.

1. Remove down state form PvP. If you die – you die. Now on every single downed player you will get 7 braindeads trying to finish him while enemy team captures point or wipes them all and at the end the victim gets up.

2. Get rid of this ridiculous capture the point mode. Noone wants to run around map in circle, this is not nascar race.

3. Bring in ladders,ranks and general player ranking. Everyone wants too see their name in high positon at ladder and show it to their friends. Both solo and premade teams.

4. Add 4×4 team deathmach arena both random and ranked.

5. Remove Hotjoin. Every single time loosing teams just leaves the game because no punishments are involved.

6. PvP should include PvE rewards of somekind. Maybe skins, maybe pets or maybe even exp tokens for their alts or even the hero they are playing. Actually beeing able to lvl up only by PvP would spring it back to life.

7. Enable sparring in Mists. Only real way to learn your class is to duel someone else. Zerging isint the way. People get killed, get frustated and just leaves the class or game entirely.

8 . Remove this ridiculous PvP crafting. For playing players should receive someking of tokens and for them buy gear. Better looking gear – more tokens. Same with weapons. Beeing flashy and unique looking will take time but it will also indicate players rank and experience in battlefield.

Ofcourse if would be safer add ’ its my opinion ’ but i wont. Its not opinion .. these are things , atleast some of them , which must be done to bring pvp back to its glory.

I bought this game for PvP. I got nothing but frustation so far.

Not sure where to post this but maybe some moderator will move it to correct place.

Thing i noticed that several ‘different’ colors are actually same color. For example Autumn ( default ) is same color as Blood ( Rare ) . Tried to adjust my monitor to spot any difference in tone but failed. And several more cases are out there. And thats the only ones i have spotted so far .

Not sure is it intended , missed fact or somekind of bug.

Same here Once in a while i get stuck in combat. Reloging helps thou.

Well from my personal experience Elementalists arent such popular class. Yes we have more players than engies,rangers or necros but i see way more people playing thiefs,warrios and mesmers than i see playing elementalists. Just my observation thou

and how many eles are without D/D? seems like only D/D is strong

Not so many ofc. But i guess is because of then you play with random pugs you can only count on yourself and currently D/D is best for solo play.

Well from my personal experience Elementalists arent such popular class. Yes we have more players than engies,rangers or necros but i see way more people playing thiefs,warrios and mesmers than i see playing elementalists. Just my observation thou

Essarious Quw.8946:

I actually really like the changes they made in the last patch. They do listen to our criticism when it is well argued, and make changes to the game to avoid problems.

Thankyou Anet for listening.

Yes thanks for listening to players Anet! We really waited for decreased drop rates , new bugs and complete nerf for engineers because they were so overpowered .. keep up the good work! I think you should implent new system that every hit you make costs you 1 gem. Would be awesome!!!

Cheers , biggest fan!

As GW1 was best Pvp game i ever played GW2 is worst. Never seen such boring numb and repeatitive PvP in my life so far. And its not about few option of map choice , for example LoL ir Dota has one map but every single game is different.

First they need to get rid of that horrible capture the point mode. This is not Call of Duty . Second they need to fix all the 9,000,000,000 class bugs to make other builds vialabe . Even thou you have skill to choose from 50% of them doesnt work or are useless.

Perfect balance ofc is impossible but fixing all the bugs should improve balance around.

Nerf damn thiefs.

Bring back GvG,HoH,4×4 ranked arenas. After all this is GUILD WARS not KITTEN WARS . I dont see any guilds at war currently.

Make PvP worth playing. Build ranks,ladders, PVE rewards, titles . People love titles so everyone else will know what they’ve achieved.

I came to this game for PvP and got kick in da nutts. Now im just roaming around PVE hoping for some major changes which would drag this game from grave its in.

You must be new here. I was once also Anet supporter but then i took their patches to the knee.

Because this game doesnt focus on sirious PvP at all.

In my opinion only reason we have pvp at all here is because Guildwars 1 was so strong at PvP and if they didint implent pvp here many questions would rise and smack them to the ground. Thou it looks like they made maps and that mode in 10minutes.

I even stopped playing my Engi because it was too easy! everything was working and turrets actually was too strong so i just put them and win dungeon instantly.

Pyrial.2917:

Stop playing 8 v 8…5 v 5 is better and less zergy

Hardly. I sticked to 5v5 as im also former GW1 player and thought this would atleast remind me of 4×4 arenas… no.

As it almost hurts me physically i will say it. Guildwars II pvp is worst pvp i saw in years. Even LOTRO pvp which didint have any basically was better.

I dont know did Anet changed all the their team or what the hell happend but this is worst pvp game ever made it to day light.

Talking about WvWvW i moved on from one of bottom servers to one of top and now i kinda enjoy it. The servers we fight are vert active also so its not that you just zerg everyone 24/7 . We get our kitten kicked also.

Sorry for dumb question but where can i find patch notes or something? would like to see changes list

Ontopic : Why to put Engi in game first place if you are going to nerf it to 0 ? Had to reroll because of this..

Were are only few Light armor sets/pieces which looks rather normal. Other than that you look like clown, circus performer or princess. Then i dont have anything against Female Princess .. Male ones looks disturbing. It may be suitable for Mesmers, the butterfly boys, but hardly for Necromancers or Elementalists. I really found it hard to slash with lighting and burn with fire then im looking like an butterfly prince..

Also Light doesnt mean Cloth. Leather or even some form of chainmail armor could also be consider to be Light Armor. It means it doesnt confront your movement ability not that its made from paper.

Not sure what other light armor users think about its current models but atleast thats what i think.

Because if we would like numb button bashing in hope to kill someone we would go play Call of Duty?

Yes i do.

Back in Gw1 me and my team was in top 50 teams around our time, it was greatest fun i ever had in game and biggest challenge also. Required hours of build-building and countless tactics dissuccusions.

Now what we have here is basically Call of Duty Rpg. I wont even talk about 8×8 ctp, its beyond horrible. 5×5 would have some power if not that cpt system. Who wants to capture points? People just run in a circle , building as tanky as possible and then they see they are loosing everyone just leaves. What the hell is that???

I wont even brag about class balance which isint here at all.

I really doubt that brining in random and ranked 4×4 arenas would be so much work.

I am hardcore PvP player and PvP here is just yuck. I dont really care about bad shape of PvE because is just a phase for me to learn my class but please , Anet, atleast save the PvP!

Gw2 PvP is big kick in da nutts.. How can you turn the best ever PvP game into worst pvp-wise game ?

Screw all the capture the point stuff, this is not CoD . 4×4 team deathmatch,hoh and gvg made guildwars what it was.Amazing game.

PvP on guildwars 2 is really on its bad side. I remember how much fun it was on GW1 . Actually that game was all ’bout PvP. Combos, tactics and other stuff .. good times. Anyway..

sPvP is a mess. 8v8 matches are horrible! Nothing matters .. build,skill or anything. You just get rapped by 3 or 4 players and thats about it. Its a bit better in 5v5 but still .. capturing points? its boring! everyone just runs around and captures them not even fighting.! We need normal 4v4 team deathmath arenas. Both random and ranked. We need GvG and HoH .. all the stuff that made GW1 amazing PvP game.

I am PvP player and i had soooo much hopes for PvP here.. and now im forced to play PvE because of how poor PvP is here. Also huge skill pools got reduced to few skill of which even fewer are useful so basically everyone is using same skills at the moment because other are useless or not working.

Sad,sad.. if u ask me. Very sad.

Well i guess most of people are smart enough to avoid mmo forum. Look at this one .. filled with qq’ing and ’ i im done , i quit ’ type of people complaining about every single breth Anet takes.

As one smart cartoon character once said ’ who the h.ell cares ?? ’

I think stealth now is a bit on power side. It could receive few minor nerfs as not beeing able to get into stealth while under conditions so easily. May few spells leave that possibility but not all of them. Also if you hit stealthed thief he should get out of stealth or atleast become visible or partly visible for short duration.

I find thiefs to be very annoying in sPvP jumping around me without much threat to themselfs.

If you dont like the game, please do everyone a favor and LEAVE.

This game costs 60 or so $ and even cheaper if u only want a serial code. Thats as much as normal single player game cost. This game has no monthly fee. In how much time you get throu average single player game? 3-4 days? And i bet before you started crying you played atleast one month.. its great value for 60 bucks.

So what are you staying here for if everything is wrong? We live in age of Computers, were are thousands of online games.. go play them!

No im not ‘fanboy’ as you whiners call us normal people. I see many flaws in this game. Myself i have made few topics about things i would love to see changed or altered in GW2 but thats about it.

You people like customers in restaurant who orders same meal every day even thou he doesnt like it. You can order it once from not knowning what you will get, but why to repeat this ?

You whine about vertical proggresion and 10 minutes later you whine how hard is to get gear.. so if you dont like vertival proggresion why do you care about getting that gear?

You ask for change, but then change comes you whine about that change.

You play 10 hours a day and complain that you are out of stuff to do.

Anet is not indie company. Its company and as every company is this cursed capitalistic ages they are after profit.If you feel like that gem store is unfair.. dont use it. Dont be ‘unfair’ one. I dont like it, i dont use it. Simple as that.

Only thing i can agree on having an issue is bugs. Yes its stuff which is supposed to work and im looking forward to see it working as im currently maining the most bugged class ever. But you dont cry about it, you just report bug and wait for them to fix it .. not threaten them to leave or tell us your story why you leave the gameb cause we dont care.

Have a nice day,

Ravenmoon.5318:

Are you kidding me? You guys are doing 10% of the content the game has to offer, and you are telling me that you get bored, well duh. I can play GW2 for 24 hours straight and NOT get bored, you always have something to do. You are NOT locked in 1 zone to farm/grind for a material or something. You basically get anything from everywhere. Have you tried WvW? sPvP? I’m not going to ask for tournament pvp because it’s mainly teams there and I dont have one and I end up with a PuG vs team, you can imagine

I was denying WvW until few weeks ago tbh. I was doing dungeons, fractals, exploring, achievements and stuff. But one day I decided to give WvW more time. Landed in an small but awesome WvW guild that manages to pull 2-3 parties sometimes, and it’s a blast. Defending stuff with 5 vs 20 with just some siege, and then having those 20 call their friends, trying to outzerg and outsmart you. It’s really a blast. The only downfall is the repair bills, BUT you earn so much from anything else, you don’t care about repair bill.

So yeah, in retrospect, just because you don’t know how to have fun, doesn’t mean that the game is not fun. Please stop spreading false rumours.

This. Everyone keeps doing two same dungeons and then complain that they are becoming boring..

HINT : Do something else !

Before any major upgrades or changes i would like to see current stuff working atleast for once. I really cant build as i would like to neither in PvP neither in PvE because i always need to avoid not working stuff which makes it impossible to make a solid build.

But if to brag about changes i would like to see major upgrade to turrets and somekind of fortification system. I ‘ve played lots of TF2 and guess what my fav class was? YES engineer!. I just love to build defences and take care of them. Turrets, walls, traps and stuff like that. That may be the reason why my first toon was guardian.. nothing too ’guardinshin’ in him sadly. Thats why i came to Engi.. sadly turrets are at such poor state its not worth even botherting setting up any defence at capture points so i just went Condition Build and roll faces in that way for now.

I can only add that as sad at it is GW1 ‘band’ didint come to play GW2 . We had really mature and solid community back then with no to little whinning around and that was one of the cores why it was fun.

Here on the other hand seems to be typical mmorpg community which whatever they will receive will kill in 10 hours and then qq about it not beeing enough or bad. When you will understand that 10hours of your fun takes them weeks or months to develop it you ….!

As dull as it sounds but get a life whinners. No game can satisfy your needs if you will live inside it. Its a game , its for fun not for spending 24/7 inside it. Then i feel like im bored of GW2 i go out , do something , and continue next day and its fun again.

Cheers,

Is funny to read all this ranting and qq’ing.

Clearly you people dont even know what you want. Then you could farm for something easily you braged about GW2 not beeing GW1 there items ment nothing, then it become hard to get stuff you brag about how hard it is to get.. so what the hell do you want really?

All this ’ they nerfed drop rates, its so hard to get shiny flamming sword now ’ .. if you are here for colors go play korean mmorpgs , they have plenty of flames and colors.

Just by casually running AC i got enough tokens for lvl 80 weapon and i even didint farm it yet . By the time you hit 80 you also have good amount of karma and gold so you are almost insta-geared at the moment you need that gear . If you want rare , more special armor… work for it !

Raf.1078:

If you are talking about the TP…prices are subject to as much as the market will bear and still give the consignee a sale. Sorry you think the prices are high…but you aren’t the one gathering, buying and making the weapons. Not to mention leveling the crafter. You aren’t, technically, paying for a Greatsword…you are paying for a service.

If you aren’t talking about the TP, why are you wasting coin buying the trash from npc vendors?

Obviously i was talking about Karma and Tokens.

This response apply to all you QQ’ing people .

Dont like game? Dont play it! Do us as favor.

GuildWars2 is great game. Yes it has it flaws and ways to be improved , everything does.

Explore map, do events , craft , jump puzzless , go pvp , WvWvW , talk to npcs, listen their stories .. this game so so so much to offer and yet there are people who complains what they dont have what to do on lvl 80.

Go Play WoW then. They release new armor and adds + 10 levels every month , you will be happy there at lvl 330.

Original GuildWars had great community because it didint attract wannabe 14 old whinners . I was really hoping to find same great community in here. It seems i failed.

So this is bothering me for quite some time. As a person who basically works for himself i often have free time in mornings whichi spend playing guild wars 2. Thou most of events or even ‘hearts’ otherwise doable becomes either impossible to do or ridiculous in nature because of the rate enemy spawns and u wont find many players to team up with in morning.

Just today i was killing skritts AND i didint even need to enter their cave , i just stood by entrance and killed one same skritt over again because 2 seconds after he dies he is there again. This may sound as fun or easy until you actually need something in cave which becomes pretty impossible to reach if u are alone.

Attacking group of 3 or 4 enemies could be useless because by the time u have killed the last one first 3 appears again and u are stuck in same place without a chance to proceed futher to your destination.

It may be fun or ‘working’ then you have party or someone to help you out , thou this is real pain in kitten then you are alone. Concept of ’ noone will need to wait for mob respawn ’ is cool and i like it but this is taken too far in my opinion.

Main point i was aiming at is that your choice or play style shouldnt cost you more or less compared to other solutions.

For example as an Engi i prefer dual pistols which will cost me double of what Rifle users will pay. I cant see any logic in that.

So for short introduction to my case i will mention that recently i rerolled from 2h using class to dual-wield using one ( not big importance which one ) and thats what concerns me

I will have to spend twice the amount of any currency to equip my hero with weapons. Why? Following any possible or impossible logic 2h sword should be more expensive than his little brother 1h sword, same goes to any 2h-1h combination.

Its not only hardly fair thou strongly illogical.

You may threat this as complain because i didint post it in suggestion forum since i strongly doubt anet will change something :<

cheers,

Its just me or spotting engineer is like xmas .. one time a year event? I’ve just started one, got bored of my guardian which basically doesnt bring up much creativity so had to go atleast for a while.

Anyway back to the point, so is just me or they are rare? And what possible reasons could affect it? So far they look interesting,complex and has many paths to play.. whats not to like?.

Level 80 player downscaled to 20 witll still be quite easy target for enemy . And mobs which are intended not to be killed by single player will still be unkillable even if u are lvl 80 with exotics. I think downscaling works fine.

First of all this is not any sort of QQ just my insight and since im still can call myself new to this game i may be missing something vital .

Recently i created a human mesmer to join my ‘squad’ .Thou im having a struggle to reach level 15. By the time i have complete 98% of map, did all events numerous times and still im just after lvl 13.

I’ve already have cleared Norn,Charr and Sylvani starting areas with my other toons and on none of them i had so much trouble into reaching atleast lvl 14 to move on to next region.

Ofcourse obvious soluton would be go to other race starting area to fill the gaps but since i have done them all except Asura, i dont want to do same stuff in game which has so much variety and also dont want to spoil Asura content because i have creating one in plans also.

It just my insight or point of view, maybe someone had same struggle and can suggest me way out?

Cheers,

Hello, my question may seem stupid for more experienced players but ,

I started playing GW2 few days ago, tested all classes until i decided to leave Guardian as my main but lets move to my question.

As Guild Wars 2 doesnt really have tanks or healers i have hard time grasping whats best trait line/weapon for me. Normaly i would go healing/tanking with shield cause its what i do in RPG’s but is it worth sacrifising all that damage from 2h and damage traits for qeustionable benefits of shield and healing in game which doesnt have tanking and healing as whole at all ?

Im level 15 now and already noticed that wearing shield and having 5 points in Honor trait line doesnt make me significantly harder to kill than any other class in game.
