lol pay for a forum app? Are you mad?
Orr always had trees in some places.
I’m done with these forums. My mental health requires me to never check in here ever again. It’s not worth it, I can’t argue with brainless zombies anymore. It’s just stupid.
Kudos to the moderator that moved dueling into the Structured PvP subforum. Dueling is PvP and as such should be and stay in the PvP section of the forums and the game.
So, you won right? Regardless of the build you used. You won. So what if it’s a cheese build or a sperimental build or a high skill cap build. You won. Kudos to you and ignore the hate
I was talking to a friend about the how to make the gemstore more fair to both the players and Anet, and the idea of having specialized DLC (Downloadable content) as gemstore-purchased account unlocks came up.
Some ideas tossed around were selling gemstore unlocks of new-zones and new dungeons. I see alot of pros and not really alot of cons in this idea as the base game already gives us alot to do. And having more monetary value associated with new content would give the devs more incentive to develop the type of content the player-base desires.
Would you pay gems for an account wide unlock of a new zone?
Would you pay gems for an account wide unlock of a set of new dungeons?
I know I would (if the unlocks were reasonably priced), but what do you guys think about this?
NO to all the questions. DLCs are and will always be a ripoff. You don’t work for a couple of weeks make a new dungeon and put in a shop for 5 bucks. You work for 6 months, make 2 dungeons, 2 or 3 maps, a bunch of skills and npcs. AND then you can sell it to me.
I never bought a DLC in my life.
Also my idea on duels!! The person that wants to invite someone to a duel has to pay 500 gems or the corresponding gold per invite.
AWSOME gold sink considering it’s a fluff feature!
Was wondering how come this week a dueling thread didn’t pop up. Tomorrow’s Monday so I guess it’s, give us/ mounts are awesome day. Tuesday will be selling dungeon isn’t good qq. Wednesday it’s we want capes day (which I’d love to have but sadly it won’t happen). Thursday is the holy trinity is awesome thread. And from Friday onward when the kids stop going to school is yet again dueling and mounts thread.
Selling dungeons is NOT and exploit. Get over it already.
The LFG and party system is broken. And it has to be fixed

This game sure went down the drain fast… 6 months ago a locked dungeon was never a problem, at least 2 or 3 parties were present at all times (not talking about people leaving because I don’t really think that’s the case). This mentality of I want it now and I want it for free sure is strong these days.
It’s such a shame
For the love of god and all that is true.
THE SPELLING.
Edit: also, grammar.
Google translate is your friend when you want to write stuff in English. It probably makes it a lot more comprehensible than what you wrote there.

It’s called Guild Wars 2 because they wanted all the GW1 player base to buy the new game. I believe everyone that played gw1 understands this.
They made a poor choice by naming it GW2, and I personally was mesmerized by the name and was expecting something very different.
I saw someone saying that people hardly care for the lore. I’d like to disagree with that. Everyone I’ve met so far in game expressed his/her disappointment for the lack of story and lore (and don’t mention even the LS crap please because it’s at such a different level I won’t even consider it). Honestly GW2 would have been much better if they made the Personal Story identical or very similar with the Missions.
They changed the gameplay from patience and strategy to go in and mash buttons. (which isn’t necessarily bad, but stuff gets repetitive A LOT faster).
People argue that it’s called GW2 because it’s on tyria (and a few other minor elements), and that should be enough. You know that’s kitten right?
This game doesn’t deserve the name Guild Wars 2. If they called it Tyria (as in the name of the world and not the continent) Online it would have been much better.
(edited by Fasalina.6571)
You keep talking about boring content here and boring content there. It seems you didn’t quite get the fact the GW2 is about the trip and not the end game. That’s also why there’s no real “end game” in GW2. Assuming you’ll be able to get 80 on a new profession in say a few minutes using a scroll or in 2 days using some other thing like this accademy nonsense. Then what? What are you going to do with your toon? Dungeons? There’s only one or 2 dungeons that require you to be 80
WvW? You’ll be 80 anyway, and the considering the zerg fest, it doesn’t even matter if you’re really 80 or not.
WorldBoses? you don’t really need to be max lvl for them either…
The only content you actually need to be 80 in this game is Fractals.
Again, GW2 is about the adventure, not the end game.
I’ll tell you something. I actually have 6 toons at lvl 80. The 6th one was leveled by crafting. After I got him to 80 and gave him full exotics, I never played him again. I don’t really know why but I don’t feel any form of attachment to him now that he’s 80 but with only 20% world completion.
Also your point of view is biased, you might know how stuff works and don’t want to lvl it to80 again. But all the new players that just recently started playing, will most likely want to use your suggested system. The result would be a flock of clueless new players failing miserably.
I see you peeps are WoW fans ei?
WoW took what? 7 years to implement the instant max lvl scroll? Plus, how long did it take to get to max lvl back in the time? Whatever the answer to that is, I’m pretty sure getting to 80 in GW2 is a lot faster.
It’s because of people like you that want gratification immediately that the maps are empty. I would nerf crafting xp even more, so people would actually have explore the world to get to 80.Never played WoW. But someone always comes along on these threads and makes a comparison. “People like me” aren’t asking for immediate gratification. Read my posts. It isn’t speed I’m after. It is an alleviation of the repetitiveness. (But all it seems I am doing here is repeating myself).
I haven’t played wow either. You don’t need to play wow to know the game and how it works. You don’t have to play wow to know they added an insta max lvl scroll lately
Thing is I don’t really get how you can get bored.
I’ve got 5 toons at lvl 80 so far. 2 of them have 100%. The other 3 are at 85% because of WvW. I enjoyed exploring the world of tyria 5 times now, and as soon as I fall in love with another profession I’ll do it again. I always find a small place that I didn’t pay enough attention to during my previous runs. Stop considering getting to 80 a chore and your main goal. Enjoy the world and enjoy the profession you picked. Try stupid builds, “chain” awsome combos! Use you imagination.
ENJOY THE TRIP, not the end of it.
Did you play any other MMOs before this one?

They don’t even have a stable mac client yet. I doubt they’ll start making a new client now. Not to mention, why would they start developing a client for Valve (which, mind you, is promising but you never know how much of a market it will have, so in my eyes it would be a risk) when they could make it for Ps4/Xbox/insert random console here.
I don’t really care if they’ll make one or not, as long as they hire new people to do it. I want them to focus on fixing the already buggy client we have on pc. If they want to expand I don’t care as long as they fix the stuff they already made so far.

So all this was just to blatantly self promote your twitch channel? If you wanna make good money, play lol, get to at least diamond, challenger is best tho, and be entertaining.
There’s already someone that did something even harder. He leveled to 80 without killing ANYTHING.
The game is dead, it just has 3 hour queue-time on WvW atm.
So this guy, the OP hasn’t been playing for a year, he starts playing today. He sees the maps empty, and asks a reasonable question considering his circumstances. And all he gets, all you are able to give him, is a kitten sarcastic answer. GG scumbag
To op, most of the maps are dead, the majority of people are either running Champion farming trains in Queensdale or Frostgorge, do the daily World Bosses, and are in WvW and PvP.
The other maps, don’t have anything nice to offer the the player that wants to get money so they can buy things. You’ll occasionaly find some players on alts that like to explore the maps over and over. But probably most of the population is craving for gold and grinding for ascended stats or skins. Or they’re in WvW/PvP.
Try joining a guild so you won’t be too lonely and hopefully get some tips etc

We get this thread daily,; the answer has always been, still is, and hopefully will always be: no.
Firstly, your base foundation is false.
The system you are proposing can actually be used to troll people. So no.
I could accept a system where you can report someone for spamming. Once a certain quota is reached (talking about hundreds of reports here) he will be silenced for a week. The more times someone gets silenced the longer the punishment.
Nope.
I satisfy my crave for RNG by buying a 5 euro scratch and win ticket once every two weeks.
The RNG in this game is SOOO bad that if you actually buy the stuff because you actually want something you’ll have to spend quite a bit (at least in my case). With the RL tickets you don’t actually expect to win anything.
I suppose it wouldn’t be too hard to add a check box for RPing. All players that have it checked will be put up together, the others won’t.
I’m not and RPer but I hope ANet notices this thread and maybe think of a way to fix it. I personally don’t see how it can be fixed.
The thing is this change helps a lot the general community and I just can’t say no to it.
But anyway, what would change for you guys if more people are in town?
I mean wouldn’t that actually be better for RPing? As in you actually have a populated town with real people that most likely will mind their own business? I mean if you get harassed you can just report em. But since I’m not an RPer I don’t really understand what would be the problem
+1
This already exists: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Light_of_Dwayna
nah Im not referring to some smal bird beak and wings (not they look bad imho..just dont match what I was hoping for). The large full scale angel wings is what I was desiring. There are the also the sunless chicken wings or that could be considered devil/demon wings.
I was wishing…cause at this point an time..its all it is.
I may eventually go with LoD and reskin my infused ascended back for my guard since the Fractal Capacitator and the Spinal Blade Back, just clash to much with the look Im trying to achieve. In the mean time I just keep the back hidden.
Duuuude, Light of Dwayna is a symbol of Dwayna. She’s the goddess of healing, life and air. Show some respect.
If I were a god I’d smite you, repeatedly, and then smite you again.
Disrespectful human, pffff.
Also in GW2 we don’t have angels. Thus dragon wings and the “small bird with a beak” is the closes thing you can get.
I suppose if people cry a lot they might add them… “looks at the stupid halo from gw1 and now gw2….”
I personally don’t like em
(edited by Fasalina.6571)
LOL that’s my WvW roaming build actually. I do fairly well and I often manage to keep at bay 2 or 3 people. Idk, maybe all the people I’ve met are bad tho.
Ah but I mix some carrion pieces in there because I like to add that extra power to Sneak attack
(edited by Fasalina.6571)
OP, you’re attacking the wrong part of the game to be honest. While I still love the trinity in some games, ANet wanted to approach things differently, and that’s good.
And to answer your original question.
It’s not the lack of trinity that makes the game boring. It’s the LACK OF ANY SORT OF BOSS MECHANICS. So far to be honest, I’ve encountered only a few fights that actually pushed me to the limit.
Alpha at release when he wasn’t nerfed and people didn’t know how to stack. That fight always gave me an adrenaline rush every time I did it.
Lupi was somewhat of a challenge.
The Liandry part was a challenge
The Marionette was fun
The last boss in grawl fractal is always fun, especially when it was new and people failed it a lot.
And suprise, suprise that’s it.
How many interesting mechanics are there? 5? 6? Half of them aren’t a challenge anymore because you can stack and kill it in seconds…
Edit: Actually all the fractal bosses have some sort of mechanics where you don’t just have to stack and kill it in seconds. I only with they added more mechanics to normal dungeon bosses too.
(edited by Fasalina.6571)
There are cars in the reality, but we can still ride a horse.
So your comparison WP/mounts doesn’t make sense.
Neither your WP/cars is for that matter. Hell I’d take RL WPs over cars every single day. Especially when I’m late for work. If I want to have a 2 hour walk and relax I’ll do that because I want to enjoy the scenery, and I won’t use my car of it
The skin is almost the entire purpose of crafting a legendary. The ability to change stats is just a nice-to-have.
So, you’re telling me that IF they decide to up the max level (and they said they’re considering it, so it’s not out of the blue), and they decided to make lagendaries stay at the current lvl 80 and release new legendaries for lvl 90 or whatever the next max level will be , you won’t be mad? Because you crafted it for the skin, not for the BiS part of it. Right?
If so I would transmute to the latest best stats and still be happy with it.
Well I would not. It seems that people find it impossible to believe, but I made my lagendaries because I wanted BiS items for which I would never, ever have to grind or farm again.
but only thing that would really upset me is if they release new legendaries that are a lot flashier than current ones but still cost similar amount of mats/gold.
Why?
I find it completely normal. Actually I’d expect them to release new legendaries (possibly even flashier) with an even greater grind attacked to them. Hell there’s not way that won’t happen, imo.
EDIT: they’ll have to cost more and require a lot more time, because this is not launch day anymore, people have thousands of gold set aside or invested.

And here it goes again, the Compensation/refund-plague day for day for day ….
Anyone else here, who’s got sick of this attitude from people, that think they deserve instantly something, therefore that they have done something, what not many others have done like them???
You still will have ensured, that you own 2 real legendaries. That alone and the fact, that you will have always with them the best weapons that will always have exactly the thats that you need, alone these facts are, as it has been mentioned more than compansetion enough and absolutely priceless achievements to know, that regardless of whatever for changes of eqipment progression we will eventually see in the future, that it won’t be any problem for you, as legendaries will always be the best weapons by Anet’s words and thats also exactly, what Anet did with legendaries, when they introdruced the ascended Equipment, that started with better Stats, than Legendaries had up to that point, with the implementation, legendary Stats got raised to be up on par with Ascended. So if we might ever see a next Equipment Gear, something like Epic Gear for example as next tier, anet would repeat what they did in the past again with Legendaries and update them to have the same Stats…
What the hell do you want more??? Is the fact to know, that you own 2 real legendaries more then enough, instead of running around with a transmuted legendary skin ??
As I have said it already in an other thread about that same topic … people really have nowaydays ego complexes… seriously.
Pretty much what this guy said.
I’m getting sick of people wanting “compensation” for every. single. thing. All I see these days are just rants over rants and no meaningful conversation. Imo these threads should be locked down
- I have no interest in fighting world bosses. Should ANet remove them or should I ignore them? That is how I feel about your interest.
- You told me many times that there are other alternatives. I told you many times why that alternative does not work.
- You bought a game with world bosses. Maybe you should ask for a refund.
- There are other alternatives. There are a lot of other games out there.
- You bought a game that has PvP and has duel rooms. Why haven’t you requested a refund? Same reason on how I approach World bosses.
- Other games do not have mechanics like GW2.
So for the both of you… Can you fight dragons while PvPing? NO. Can you PvP while fighting dragons? NO. They’re 2 separate game modes and they should not be mixed together. One guy likes to PvP and doens’t like the PvE but still buys the game. End. The other guy likes the PvE but hates the PvP and he still likes the game. As a PvE player I don’t expect you to fight dragons while PvPing. I don’t want to force that on you, because I know it’s not fair. So why should you a PvP lover want me a PvE player to play your pvp game if i don’t want to.
I just had a great idea!
Implement dueling! Make it so you have to pay 500 gems or 250 gold (depending on the gem-gold conversion) per invite regardless if it’s accepted or not and you can duel with that person for 1 hour.
Dueling is neither a quality of life feature nor an important mechanic in the game. It would create more toxicity, a lot more work for the devs and will probably split the community, so people should pay for it. I’ll have people that wanna spam chat and duel me pay with their wallets or gold for annoying meThis is gonna blow your mind: People already challenge each other to go to sPvP and duel them. Yes, dueling is a way to show off, but Miniatures are as well. Have you ever been asked “Hey Dude, show me your best Miniature if you dare and then lets compare”
Its gonna be way more easy to “Hey see how I get 25 vuln on my enemy in just 3 seconds” instead of “Hey, come out the town to this bee, im gonna show you something”
Exactly! people challenge people to go to sPvP, and they go there! They won’t fight in my PvE world! Amazing!
I never got asked to show off my best miniature in this game yet, but maybe that’s just because I’m on Gandara where 90% of people are awesome and not 5year old kids. I used to have a toon on PvP servers on all the games I’ve played, hell I even play Wizardry online from time to time, when I feel like punishing myself, so I know quite a bit about dueling and what it implies, that’s why so against it.
What I don’t want is dueling on the current servers. Imo, Anet should make a serious survey. If the numbers are good, open up a PvP server where you can kill everyone on sight. BUT! Guesting shouldn’t be able to work both ways. You can guest from the PvP server to the PvE servers but not viceversa
Oh look it’s this topic again.
:D, funny eh?
It’s mounts and they they switch to duels, and then mounts again..etc
I just had a great idea!

If Anet gave us an option to auto reject dueling invites and if before a duel starts the players were moved to an empty overflow map then that’s ok. In this game I want my PvE world to be PvE, I don’t want to see people with an IQ lower than 50 spamming map chat and the forums with cries and complaints.
If it doesn’t happen that way then, I don’t want dueling in this game, and I state it, just like everyone else, and I don’t need no give you reasons why (even though I did). You and other people want dueling and asked for it and you’re not obliged to give reasons why. There’s absolutely no need to bash people and be an kitten .1 Auto reject dueling invites is a standard feature.
2 It makes no sense to put duelers in an overflow map.
3. People already go to the forums with cries and complaints, yet there is still no dueling. So it’ll happen anyways.
3b. You don’t see bots spamming gold selling over and over. Yet there is no dueling. So spamming won’t happen.
3c. Your statement that people will spam chat and cry is rude and condescending. You completely lose your stand.
1. Ok.
2. It makes sense because I don’t consider dueling part of GW1 or 2 lore, as such I don’t want to see people dueling in my game. If you want to duel do it on your overflow map. (or implement the toggle the guy above me was talking about)
3. People complain of the forums all the time, which is why it would be bad to give further reason for people to complain and have the already toxic forum submerged even more.
3.b Bot’s don’t spam because the are taken care of. What I consider spam is, nolifer kid asks to duel, second person doesn’t want to. Kid proceeds to call him names, follow him around spam map chat etc etc.
3.c I can’t believe you actually deleted your previous comment that I accused you for being rude and condescending, so you can actually get back at me with it. (Luckily I took a screenshot and mailed it support and reported you, so you’ll at least get an infraction point for it). Your behavior talks a lot about you. And I’m not going to waste my time with you. Also since I already stated my point of view on this subject I’ll also refrain from contributing considering you refuse to understand and continue the conversation in a civil manor.

I don’t like dueling in THIS game.
Dueling is fun when you have open world and not maps and portals.
Dueling is fun when the PvE skills and PvP skills are the same. (as you should know some stuff is tweaked differently for pvp and pve in this game)
Dueling is fun when there’s powercreep.
If Anet gave us an option to auto reject dueling invites and if before a duel starts the players were moved to an empty overflow map then that’s ok.

I think dueling would not be fun in GW2. It’s just that the game doesn’t support it. Whenever I feel like playing some pvp I go to the mists.
No to dueling in PvE
My wife and I have purchased almost every outfit for use in Guild Wars 2 across our three accounts.
Converting these outfits, NONE OF WHICH ARE USED IN THEIR ENTIRETY ON A SINGLE CHARACTER, into all or nothing outfits is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.
What will the process be to refund our gems for the costumes that will now become simply cut and paste copies of the outfits the hundreds of thousands of other people who purchased these costumes are wearing.
These outfits were originally sold as pieces that could be mixed and match to create the look you wanted for your character, or in other words, to “play the way you want to play.” Changing their functionality in this manner amounts to little more than a bait and switch.
Sincerely,
I see your point but where exactly did ANet say that the outfits will be all or nothing? Can you link me the post?
See the link 3 posts up.
" Can I still mix and match my town clothes?
Clothing pieces that are converted to armor skins can be mixed and matched with the same restrictions as other armors. Outfits cannot be mixed as each of them now is stored on an account-wide basis as a single unlock. Items related to endless tonics cannot be mixed or dyed."
I think it was also mentioned in the original blog post.
Indeed, i was confused about the word “outfit” I was thinking about armors which in fact you can mix and match
I just don’t get it. How can you people have the nerve to ask this stuff? I mean the wardrobe is now and what you bought was then. How can you respect a kitteng refund. I’m sorry but I’m starting to lose my cool here. So when you buy a car lets say, dunno a 2003 Ford, when a 2005 Ford comes out will you ask for a refund?
I understand the point the op is trying to make, because the CS items that he bought are going to change in functionality , if they’ll make it an all or nothing. But all you others, be it dyes or whatever else. You can’t expect then to refund anything. I know I wouldn’t.

You people do realize it would be next to impossible to give each and every single one of you all the multiple dyes you’ve bought right? I mean we’re talking about a lot of players here, and probably millions of dyes. Lets be realistic and don’t ask for the impossible
The way I see it if you overwrote a skin for any reason you’re not entitled to get it back. You considered what to do for whatever the reason and decided you don’t want the skin at that time. Why would they feel obligated to give you stuff that you decided to throw away in the first place
o.O
- Purchased unique skins.
- Decided didn’t like.
- Overwrote the skins.
- Concern over having to re-buy said skins that were not liked in the first place
Why would one consider re-buying skins that they already knows they don’t like?
Because you can only buy them in a complete set. Meaning, I changed my mind on the leggings, and I’m wondering if I’ll have to re-buy the full set or if they have a way of tracking purchases.
They most likely won’t give you anything back. I had this problem quite a while back. I accidentally (not willingly) cancelled a piece of a cs set. They said they can’t give me back the piece nor a full set even if I deleted the rest of the armor
I’m so happy they’re finally making dyes account bound. Now my other characters can look awsome, and not just my main thief, all of this without spending that much.
Great job ANet, I’m loving this update so far.
I’m happy about it. I can finally dual wield incinerators on my thief and ele even tho I only made one. And I can concentrate my resources in making a bolt now, and not another incinerator.
Woooohooooooo!
