Guild Wars 2

I miss GW1, elegant to perfection! If graphics would be the same as GW2, GW2 would not be even worth mention ROFL.

Dasenthal.6520:

No…. For a few reasons actually
1) 300g isn’t hard to get if you’re willing to play the market or expand your comfort zone. Believe it or not the best commanders actually do have PvE experience.
2)Making the tag require ranks/badges is worthless. You said it yourself EotM and PvE commanders are walking lootbags. Guess where most people go if they want to get wvw ranks though? It’s EotM. (Side note: I have been playing wvw as my main game mode in gw2 since launch. Yet I can guarantee most people are well above me rank wise though because I don’t K-train, and I don’t EotM)
3) Most people might only use their tag for one or the other, but plenty of people use it for both (myself included). If you make those people pick they’ll be very unhappy, and if you give both tags to them you don’t really solve the problem either. So…

Well the thing about rank is still people learn the game, there is to many people that feel special to tag up just because they can flip market.

3) point, no way.. People don’t deserve WvW/EOTM tags, and they can be experienced as much as they want, it’s the map that you should understand not the PVE, and for the record, i believe splitting PvE and PvP would make more people happy than angry because the number and damage that PvE players do in PvP, is astronomic.

There are in average 15-20 commanders during day, they tag up and tag down next fight or in next 15 min…

I would let people keep the tag, but they would be unable to tag up in PvP if they are not rank 600+

Kreejaffa.3682:

For now, I just shrug it off and go about my dailies. What else can you do?

Lets just say it that way, people are getting kicked out by other people, DDoS is common in MOBAs and it’s more noticeable, in MMO ppl think there is simple network or server problem.. but hell no.. even here we have it and Anet should secure things better..

There is no particular reason to be kicked out of the game on the way Arena net does.

Devildoc.6721:

Similar to world bosses. I mean they’re difficult content for most people, on a daily timer so you can’t just farm them over and over, and here you are giving out greens and blues for them. I’d say the difficulty is as much as boss meta events probably more considering you can’t just hammer 1 while afk during a JP.

THEY SHOULD, totally,
But mesmer portals and parking should be disabled.

SOLUTION; Give checkpoints at beginning middle and end.

It’s just sad to see how poor servers are.
- you get in map 25min earlier
- you do your stuff collect material
- you do teq like you should and help and all
- your internet works perfectly fine because TS didn’t even twitch for a second
…

Than you randomly disconnect…
And lets not forget that you get NO REWARD at all
I wouldn’t B***H about it if that would happen 1×.. now this is 5th time happening in this month… and it’s frustrating.. FIX YOUR S*** anet.. PLEASE

RoseofGilead.8907:

I think splitting the tags between wvw and pve is a good idea. But don’t change the gold price; keep it at 300g, plus however many thousands of badges and whatever rank.

That being said, I don’t see it happening since there are already so many tags in the game bought using just one system. I can’t imagine any way of changing the tags would go well.

Personally 300g for me, that i don’t attend any PvE(dungeons, fract, world bosses, etc etc) is kind of rocket heigh I could do it, in pve, but doing it in PvP to hit 300g is kind of huge deal if you don’t step to PvE for like 6 months

I would like to split commander tags into two professions with special tasks:

PvP commanders:
- WvW + EOTM
+ Can Be used only in WvW and EOTM
~ Purchase price: 10g + 10.000 badges + rank 600 (just and idea)

PvE commanders:
- Open world Tyria
+ Can Be used outside of WvW and EOTM
~ Purchase price: 300g

I’m PvP person, and I love both WvW and EOTM, but clueless, uneducated, inexperienced, reckless and one of most common things of them all frightened PvE commanders, give me no desire to join EOTM. We call this people that follow PvE commander, walking loot bags. They lead people to death than tag down. They don’t even troll, lack of map experience is huge. We have 1 normal commander per day in EOTM.

Being commander in PvP is something that you can not buy with gold, and it shouldn’t be that way at first place. There is plenty of people that deserve Commander Tag, but can’t get it because they don’t do PvE.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
NOTE: I know some people will argue that EOTM is PVE, but let’s keep this simple, and say that EOTM requires way more knowledge to lead a group than setting up for random PVE Boss.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————-
EDIT: Keeping price 300g and upgrade it for PvP with 10.000 badges +600 rank would be nice.

Kratos.7948:

Guild Wars 1 is why I bought Guild Wars 2. I thought it would be at least somewhat similar to the original. Was it? Other than it being in Tyria, not really.

The combat was watered down and more visual effects were added. Tactical builds were for the most part wiped out. PvP was slain.

Would I, or many others, have bought this game had I/we known how it would turn out?
Probably not.

100% agree with you, i bought this junk game just because i did enjoy GW1, and i’m still blindly hoping they will create something worth playing, but as i see i’ll never get decent pvp, different from smashing key 1 and 5… It’s sad that we exxpected so much, and i don’t know why game had to change so much, when GW1 worked so well, and it was full of joy. I did play gw1 7 years straight, i quited GW2 after 3 months, came back after 12.. playing for 5 months now, and thinking to switch MMO for some pvp game based MMO, i just don’t know where to go… I’m stuck here just because there is nothing better, if there would be, ohhhh i would pick my kitten and go for it and never return…

Honestly, i can’t believe how much i hate GW2 for what it has became… and what was represented to us…

9 years loyal to GW1/2.. but idk how much longer will u guys hold me in… DO SOMETHING

Ho ho, PvP yo,
there was update,
wasn’t so great.

We excited were fast,
but that didn’t last,
we expected bit more,
match-making is poor.

Yet another GO TO WOW IF YOU WANT MOUNTS topic, for real stop trying you guys are annoying… they said no, we gw players dont want them either… so please STAHP

Firelysm.4967:

Enough of milking Ty.

I am a strong independent elonian woman who don’t need no man I do what I want.

If that’s so, i bet you make a lot of gold

Like title says, enough time passed by, and we done all the fun that GW2 had to offer.
I’ll just say it this way, I’m PvP person, and i desire no more to even try going in PvE, living story doesn’t satisfy at all, content in there is cheap and poorly made, and doesn’t even reach that 1% of excitement as new expansions do…

So ArenaNet, it’s time when in guild wars 1, we had expansion release, we didn’t have to bag for it, it was release because you guys did know, what’s the best for us to enjoy!
I think GEM store milked us enough, that we deserve something more.
I believe you guys have a choice, give us something to drink or this milking cow will go dry, and search for water else where.

Best regards, from GW1~2 9year veteran.

Neko Dudley.2495:

Get recipes for rare and exotic armor from the master armorsmith.

This is not even close to my question,

I NEED Azurite Orb, that’s all i’m asking about, you can’t craft Azurite Orb…
It used to be mined, now it’s not acquirable for some reason, and i wish someone from Arena Net to explain me why, and how to find alternative, because i cannot be stuck in Rare gear, just because i cannot efford more than ONE ASCENDED part of gear from laurels per month… This is pathetic..

Azurite Orb

Acquisition:
Cannot be aquired currently

why???
It’s game bug or abuse?
We guardians that try to craft our exotic gear, are stuck with green/blue gear??
And someone trolled the market and did put the price on 62g for jew. part…

Can some1 explain why is this not acquirable ????

Sorry to say but, I want GW1 story and system back…
GW2 is nothing more but bad game concept in new nice graphics mode.. rest is way worst than GW1

Arena net, if you think that CHEAP living story like this will weight out the expansion in next 6 months, you are more than wrong..

If we don’t get expansion till September 2015, GW2 will be as good as dead.
Arena net, wake up PLEASE..

Cuddy.6247:

People used to do this (some might still be trading) but it’s against the ToS. GW1 and GW2 are viewed as separate games for all intents and purposes – it’s viewed the same as trading between GW2/WoW or GW2/Runescape.

Doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be caught but…there’s your answer.

How come if you can link the game together ROFL

There you go people a mount!

Luna.9640:

1. My 3rd question is :If you ever have a solution to this are there any plans to lift the AoE Limit for both WvW/PvE/PvP because thats why this AoE limit exist in 1st place

Actually it doesn’t, the point of 5 people damage limit per aoe is because some professions could wipe entire zerk with spamming AOE. That’s why this is limited,

To be honest, i’ll tell it straight, I didn’t read your wall of text, but i’ll make a reply on your title. I’ll just drop this here, just in case if ArenaNet will ever want to hear opinion of 9y GW player.

a) Living story, is just some lore which gives you 30min play time every 14-21days. And to be honest, I skip every talking scenario, I couldn’t care less about lore and play time is to short. All it matters to me is the reward and actual play time, not talking scenarios.

b) I miss GW1 for one reason, you enjoy large content, and you know every 2 years there will be new one, with totally new stuff.. and no limited armour/weapon in GEM store..

c) I pay for the game, and can’t get all the stuff that i would desire if It happens that you put game on pause because of job or college for one month.

d) Expecting PvP changes for 2 years, I’m not excited about recent news, because it’s bit late to fix things that should be fixed in first 3 months of the game. It feels like BETA for GW2 actually never ended.

Mostly B and C are big MINUS for GW2 as a 9 year loyal to ArenaNet player…

NOTE to ArenaNet: There is no Living story, that would make me more exciting than releasing expansion.. As a matter of fact, I’m a PvP person, but because of PvP lack of content, I occasionally come to PvE. I hope you guys change back to GW1 game development model.

Chaith.8256:

Keep playing the game and when you reach the next level of mastery these balance problems will fix themselves, from your perspective. Trust.

2 months is more than enough to see that game is far from balanced.
Let’s just say i was playing GW1 for 3+ years in pvp, and i know when things aren’t in shape.

I don’t have to waste more time to notice how unbalanced game is, some people need years to see that, some of us live for PvP, and know when things are not in shape. If this works for you, fine, but be realistic that this game needs separated balancing, else we will never get a PvP on professional level as GW1 was.

Chaith.8256:

You’re talking profession skills and balance? Hardly any character building options are balanced in PvE, and evidently, it doesn’t stop players from getting into that game mode, en masse!

Balance PvP. I’m not against balancing PvE, but that’d have to be happening for your argument to work.

Sure I am.
As long as Arena net will balance skills for PvP and PvE together they will achieve only that things are no OVERPOWERED. But that way you cannot balance PvP, there for no matter how hard they try, PvP will stay unbalanced.

I’ve played GW1 PvP for 3 years straight, and enjoyed it, played GW2 PvP for about 2 months, and never liked it, i just forced myself to play the game just to stick around, but i’m slowly tired to see barely any changes.

Ok we got announced some match making and stuff, but what about balancing PvP itself? Lets be honest here, pvp is far from balanced, and that’s not hard to tell.
That’s why i’m suggesting arena net, to separate PvP skill balancing from PvE balancing, just like we had in GW1, and it’s about time, that we get some serious PvP changes.

You can’t balance PvP / PvE together. Period!

High.7231:

I know posts like these are probably a dime a dozen, I will do my best to keep this one interesting.

I played have played guildwars as well as guildwars 2 since beta and I’m sure I am not alone in asking for abit more in the PVP department. If I didn’t know better I would accuse arenanet as a company of throwing not only the pvp community, but the PVP devs as well in favor of the young and ‘eager to use their mothers credit cards at the gem store’ PVE community. I have talked to MANY of my old friends who enjoyed guildwars 1 and there is a unanimous idea that they would all pay $100+ for an expansion that included the addition of some guildwars1 classes along with…you know, the whole idea behind the entire f***ing game… GVG. The omission of GvG and Heroes Ascent in guildwars 2 is pretty embarrassing, plus replacing it with a 5v5 cap point that rotates around some, albeit good maps. The same cap mode isn’t really good for esports, which I am surprised arenanet isn’t trying to exploit by dumping resources into. The Esports scene is only getting bigger, and the payout comes along with that. League of Legends has the most logged gametime out of any game IN THE WORLD, and it’s not by a small margin either. As far as profit goes, Tencent, the owner of RIOT games is the 5th largest internet company IN THE WORLD falling only just behind companies like google and amazon.

So as an older player and PvP fanatic, I want any kind of information on why there is no GvG/HA in this game and why it’s not being worked on. (Yeah remember the Korean gw1 teams, wonder why they aren’t in gw2?) Or at the very least, why has there been 1 “meh” gamemode that appeals to casuals and really has no incentive to play well on? You get rewards either way when you play, you can technically afk macro your way to all the rewards (I’ve seen people doing this)

So do us a favor before you lose the 5 people who play sPvP and throw us a bone (preferably a bone in the form of GvG…you know…the thing your game is named for?)

Hi there, i feel you mate, i’m here since first GW1 release, and that’s about 9 years now, i’ve played many MMOs and the day that i’ve found out about GW1, i’ve never changed mmo ever since. that means of 7 years of playing. I was so pumped for GW2, but sadly to say, after 8 months, i’ve quited GW2, for about 1 year, because there was nothing that would hold me in, as PVP player… I tried PVE i really did with all my heart, but there is NOTHING, i tell you NOTHING in GW2 to compare with GW1 GvG..

I miss that as hell, and i want it back, and as you said, GW2 lost its meaning, if there is no GvG, there is no “SOMETHING Wars 2”…

And what bothers me the most, if i want to PVP, i have to go PVE, else you are stuck in your ugly gear.. I miss GW1 concept, my advice to anet is, take PVP GW2 combat, and give us the rest of what GW1 offered.

GvG, farm gear with tokens, HA, JQ, Random, Guild halls, there is nothing better to chill in own hard rewarded Guild Hall…

And for the record, i would rather pay 55€ for expansions than having a
“one-time-living-story” with 30min of content every 14-30 days and GEM sucking store …

Evan Lesh.3295:

So glad we can finally talk about the update! It’s been a long time in the making. I look forward to playing with you guys in a couple weeks! (though I’ll probably be nervously watching servers with the rest of the team)

Evan, you guys really need to bring some of GW1 concepts back.
Long love and respect from loyal 9 year GW member.

DiogoSilva.7089:

So, from what I’m getting:

- Practice Mode will be Hot Join skirmishes;
- Improved matchmaking;
- Improved dishonour system;
- Map selection;
- Ladder system;

Nothing mentioned on:
- Balance changes;
- New game modes;
- Improved rewards;

Seems like it’s be a much needed update on infrastructure, but I’m afraid the pvp experience will remain the same (conquest, same maps, same meta).

This.

I just don’t see, why so many people see problem in PvP being rewarded outside of tournament…

In gw1 we were rewarded decently, enough that we could buy our own stuff without stepping into PVE world… I can’t describe HOW MUCH I HATE, to go to PVE just to get my gear that i desire… it’s nothing more frustrating to see people from PVE tell you how PVP should be rewarded.

We don’t get decent amount of rewards, or gold that we could buy something with it… ascended armor? We can dream that, legendary is a space far of reach…

Lets keep it simple, PVP and PVE needs to be separated just like GW1 was…
I did enjoy my PVP world, and i did love balanced PVP.

PVE and PVP are currently in very bad shape just because we dont have separated system of balancing skills for each. That’s why this is not so entertaining as GW1 was.

NOTE: I don’t know why farming world bosses spamming mindless amount of KEY 1, IS OK, and rewarded cca 5G+++ per hour, while pvp offers you barely any gold, and drains it all, and yet again there is some PVE guy who goes balm farming, and gets 12gold in 15min for pressing 1 every 5 seconds, please tell me, why should PVE be more rewarding for not even thinking what you press???? …

PVP has 10x more money sinks than PVE, and you still think PVE should be more rewarded.

I did love GW1 for PVP, was expecting more from Arena net, even thought they have engine, power, and focus on PVE, we still deserve something more.

EDIT: and for moderator, i think you’re doing mistake for moving this thread into PVP section, because this is general discussion, and every1 should participate in it! They way you guys move threads, it’s just covering up desire of players.

TRUST ME, when i say 40% people would play PVP if this thing would be more interesting and if you guys would put some more effort in it.

Xander.9024:

Sube Dai.8496:

I agree. Would be a good way of getting pve’ers into PvP as well.

I don’t plan to step one pixelated foot inside any pvp map. Ever. I don’t care how “rewarding” they make it or what shiny they try to place in there to funnel more people. As far as the question goes, I think all game modes should be equally rewarding. It would fit into the whole “play how you want” moto.

The same, i play PVE only because i’m FORCED to, if i want to get enough gold to sustain server, or get nice looking gear, i can only dream what can you guys effort, that we PVP players can only dream about…

Azhure.1857:

Sorry but I don’t actually believe that PvP should be more rewarding than PvE.

PvP is about skill and nothing more.
PvE is about …. well… “Keeping up with the Joneses.”

Bullbanana!
In pvp you have to actually understand the game, every retarbanana can play PVE… sorry just look at world bosses, afk-1 hitting till the ground… And while we speak about open world we are STILL FORCED to do “CLOSED” one (dungeons, fractals) to actually make income… GW2 has no sense anymore..

I want GW1 back so badly

As respectful loyal GW1 PvP player, i’ll say this:
“As long as Guild wars 2 doesn’t have GvG, i will keep calling it just >>PVE wars 2<< "

Because game has nothing to do with Guild and Wars any more.. Concept is lost in my eyes until we get what game was meant for.

Blackbeard.4356:

So I have to say something about it and it’s not trash talking to waste your time. I have seen that all this mounts topics are closed by GM because people are opening the idea and say nothing about it. I’m an person who wants mounts in the game and I have a reasons why I want them.

1) You can collect them

2) They will look epic and with gw2 engine in game it would be awesome experience to have and to ride them around the Tyria

3) You go and explore faster with your epic mount and it will be more enjoyable then running and porting around

4) For longer trips get birds that carry you around or even better, the ships that you see in the game. for example in the new map, in arah dungeon story mode (this is the answer for people who will say that’s boring to ride all day long)

5) gw2 is beautiful game and we go across it just porting on those waypoints, yeah so much epicness in that. You have loading screen with picture and that’s it

6) You can made diffrerent mounts speed for lower or bigger levels (60%) for lower and (100%) for higher levels

7) Mount can be shown as an effort you put in the game, something like legendarys. If you’re a hardcore player you will probably have some epic mount, much color, much epicness, much speed, much girls and so on

This were a few ideas I have in my mind at this moment. Probably I could come with something more but this is just for beginning. For all of you who agree or disagree on this I respect your opinion but if you don’t have nothing normal to say on this topic please don’t say anything ! No need for countless comments that don’t have solid opinion on this subject.

No, personally, i think If we EVER get Mounts, they should only be for WvW, and ONLY for WvW, but you would move ONLY 15% faster, with some additional armor, as a war machine hound.

For PVE?? No ty, you have WP, you are already FAST enough on your own skill based..
Dont make this game mountable, than it’s all Anet effort into PvE lost..

I’ve played GW1 for 7 years, 5 years PVE and last 2 years PvP/ GvG…
I can’t tell you, how much i miss GW1, in GW1 i felt rewarded playing what ever i was playing in PvP, and was happy to earn my rewards…

Gw2 PvP?
- we deserve more than just one Balthazar achievement… is that really all that we deserve?
- no income
- barely any PvP skins
- if you want to do pvp servers, 200g… you have to play sick load of pve, so you can pvp
- PVP PLAYERS ARE NOT RESPECTED…

I just hope Arena net will soon realise, that they are losing a big number of GW1 players that were keep going the entire game, we are the one, who constantly played and keept running the population so that GW2 had any chance to be, what it is now..

We deserve some pvp content, rewards, own pvp income, so that IF WE DONT WANT TO GO PVE, WE DONT HAVE TO… I have no lust for PvE, there for i think this game leaks all the good things that GW1 offered..

Arena net, it’s time to wake up, and take care of us PvP players too…

I think the same, i’m not this… “wow has this and that”, because i’ve never played wow, but i’m proud player from GW1 beta played GW1 for 7 years! First 5 years I was constantly playing PvE, but when i was expecting GW2 so hard, i started to play PvP, and i was instantly inlove with the GvG.

What i miss the most is, that PvP players were same rewarded as PvE players…
I think PvP currently is FAR from rewarding, and those who enjoy PvP, don’t get the joy of rewards. If we only look back in GW1 what was reward ratio VS pve reward ratio, it makes me sad… Because personally, i don’t like to do PvE any more, but if i want to get some gear, a nice skin and something else…

I’M FORCED TO PLAY PVE TO GET ANYTHING..
Honestly, i went back to GW1, but population just died, GW2 really needs more interesting system, rewards, and OWN content to get income, or special things.
I think we deserve more than just balthazar reward..

And yes, i did enjoy GW1 a lot more with content than GEM store that we have, it’s just not appealing to me, personally it’s disaster.. Wish GW1 concept artist and level designer would be back.

TL:DR, i wish PvP players would be same rewarded and treated as PvE players, but as i see it’s hard to tell if we ever gonna be on the same page.

Evalia.7103:

There are different kinds of golems as well as enemy NPCs to try at the PvP lobby.
That includes dummies(golems; Indestructible, heavy, medium, light, Class NPCs, Svanir/Utahein, Lord/His Guards)

I’m aware of this, and this thing is not precise of quick information, yes you get damage and you can see every hit, but that’s not the purpose of my topic. Arena net understands why this was so important to us PvP//GvG players.

For that puppet you could get next data after 30 sec:
- min damage
- max damage
- total condition damage in 30 sec
- average damage with condition
- average damage without condition

We need dummy/puppet like this.

Hi all, i used to test my builds a lot in GW1 for getting GvG done precisely, so i’ve carefully managed my entire build around stats that i’ve tested on puppet.

I wonder if there is something like DPS puppet in GW2?
In GW1 it used to show minimum, maximum and average damage after 30 second interval or after you’ve stopped hitting.

So i’m wondering if we have something like that? If not? I would love Arena net to encourage them to give us something like this, because it’s handy and important part of pvp.

NOTE: Combat stats, are not enough for those that will try to suggest that.

RoseofGilead.8907:

As others said, turn on AoE loot, and bind it to something other than F. I have mine bound to one of the side buttons on my mouse. So I just routinely click it during big fights.

I use that but still, wouldn’t that be better that you get loot directly in your pocket if you enable that in your inventory settings?

Personally i find very disturbing that loot bags disappear so fast, we don’t even finish a small zerg fight and they are already gone.. You have like 15 seconds to pick them up..
What if we had like:
a) at last 30-45 sec to pick them?.. OR EVEN BETTER SOLUTION
B) Drop loot in your inventory, not on the ground.

One of the best solutions would be, that we would have additional option for eotm/wvw.. “drop-loot-in-my-inventory”.. that you don’t have to pick loot yourself, because this misses all the point of big team fights, where you either pick loot or team fight.

I’ve never seen large fights like 40 vs 40 to last 10 seconds there for you can hardly pick all of them..

I think, word Mount should be banned in this forum…
Get over it people.. if you want mounts so badly go play WoW..

Wish this map would be worth fighting for again..
Now i barely see any people in JP anyways.

miss that as hell :>

Crovax.7854:

Let’s just try and work out what next best alternative is. Indigo doesn’t have chests so it’s down to either blue or red. Maybe even a blue – yellow – red chain if amber isn’t completely nerfed into the ground.
The good thing about amber was that everybody immediatly knew how it worked so i think for the sake of efficiency it’s good to determine an ‘optimal’ route as soon as possible. Anyone here with some experience on the new map who could help out?

Aside from that, yes the amber farm was too lucrative for the time it took and we should have seen it coming, though I have to admit, I never farm in this game, ever, but this time it was actually fun and relaxing. People were always nice and it felt rewarding – something not many activities in GW2 achieve.
I enjoyed it while it lasted.

(<—Part of the problem and proud ’till the end)

THIS, with caps… i came to PVE just because i actually enjoyed the map before the nerf.. I hate grinding gold like boring fractals and dungeons. At last i had fun farming chests with so many people… Welll u guys know how this goes. if it’s fun and profitable, it wont last long..:(

Beldin.5498:

wasted.6817:

Yea, i was wondering how long it will take people to figure it out. Yak nerf incoming. Hahah. And i’am just gonna throw it in here. If you have enough ppl on yak it will spawn champs and those champs will drop bags. Hf.

Did that events a lot in the first days, but can’t say that i really got much T6 there.
Had the feeling mostly i got T6 from the non-mordrem mobs like scorpions, hyenas
and drakes.

this… i didn’t get any kind of drop from any kind of mordrem… so after 2 days i did stop wasting time on them.

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

Erukk.1408:

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

The primary grump that people were having was that the other fort events weren’t being done because in certain maps everyone was at amber. Spreading the chests so that they were more balanced between the 4 points would have encouraged people to disperse without feeling like they were losing out.

They wouldn’t disperse that much though. Five people at a single fort’s area wouldn’t offer as many shovels and rewards as the zerg’s area that have fifty people. The five would have to constant use their own shovels to keep their chest rate up, but the people at the zerg’s location would have a much easier time coasting off other people shovels.

It might not be at Amber in this situation, but people will still be gathered up at a single location because of the benefits of chest farming in the zerg. So it doesn’t really solve the problem in the end.

Which also means that the change they did make (by reducing the number of chests overall, and reducing their spawn rate) isn’t going to change that either. It’s still going to be more beneficial to ball up so that there are plenty of shovels available. So in the end, they have accomplished nothing except to kitten a bunch of people off.

This, i used to like this, and now i’m back to PVP WVW, it’s like throwing a bone to the dog, and take it away the second he took first bite…

Merlin Dyfed Avalon.5046:

Or play the game for it’s content.

This stupid suggestions man lol, why do you even bother to reply on that.. we enjoy the game, but if you play not to get any gold for it … there are only two options:
a) you enjoy PvP WvW
b) you are playing the wrong game..

lordkrall.7241:

I am getting loads of stuff (and in extension gold) by simply having fun and doing the events in Silverwastes.

The issue is people wanting to get EVERYTHING right NOW.
I could easily get enough stuff to complete a legendary by simply doing events in SW. Sure it might take quite a bit of time, but it is fully possible.

It’s fine Well the thing is, i rather do some stuff that gives me 5 gold per hour, and enjoy it, than idk do stuff that give me 1 gold in 2 hours..

One thing is enjoying game, other thing is enjoying game while you are rewarded… we barely see that.

I don’t want to mention .. that i do Eternal Jumping puzzle 3x daily, and i NEVER seen not even one person in last month… I wonder why…hmm?

It’s very hard to find enjoyable PVE content, and since Silver came out, i was excited, i actually did some stuff out there.. TO:
a) have fun
b) earn some decent gold

I just don’t know why MMO concepts can’t have FUN+GettingGOLD at the same time any more..

Orr died, Karka died, DryTop is nearly there, and now Silver…
We are forced to play speed run Dungeons and Fractals, to get decent amount of income.. I’m just sad we are forced to do boring stuff instead of enjoying awesome PVE content…

Anet, don’t you think something has to be done about it green side of EOTM?

I love jumping puzzles and I make them daily, my personal Eternal time is 7:50 that means i don’t spend too much time at same jumping puzzle and i’m trying each day to bet my personal time:)

Let’s jump to the point, loot is not rewarding, you don’t see any people doing them any more because many told me “I don’t do them because you’re not rewarded for the time you’ve spend doing them”..

To be honest I think the same, if I wouldn’t love jumping puzzles, I wouldn’t make them, because loot is simply far from rewarding. I wish people would have lust again to do them.

Give something in chest that would make people find rewarding to do JP’s.. like some crafting materials that can be hard to obtained in open world, and easier to get in JP’s.. etc or something similar. Unique JP weapons would be nice too.

Dragon fights! This is how I’ve expected GW2 dragon fights would look like.. flying, trampling, burning, prevailing own territory and MORE! A custom battle in Skyrim with over 100 monsters, lock your eye on dragons:

Srsly i’m wondering why people don’t suggest: speed boats, trains, helicopters, cars? i mean don’t u want those too? -.-

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand another lame mount topic.

No mounts, end of story.

Hey now, don’t be such a negative nancy! If they really want a mount, they just have to buy a riding broom and get a +25% movement signet on!

Seriously though, no mounts. Ruins the scale and impressiveness of the world. Examples already exist, you just have to realize what you don’t feel in certain games.

We don’t need them, we don’t want them.. arena net doesn’t want them.. aaaaand i again we meet in theme .. where 9/10 ppl will say NO.

That’s what i’m saying.. this PvE is not even a challenge to me.. I never liked the instance idea of Dungeons.. ( i was UW speed runner and i liked old instances more then those… and when we are speaking of open world… i tough Anet gonna bring dungeons to the next lvl of MMO… and open gates for infinity people.. not like closed instances)

PvP was more challenging in GW1, every interrupts and skill was spared for right moment .. i don’t feel this system as amazing one, its more like pushing 12345 a lot.. :S

Well over all… Anet should start building something for non-casual players.. to give us some challenge.. i got all my gear in pve that i want.. turned lvl 15 at pvp and feel boring already.. idk.. i already like guild mission idea.. i hope they come up with something for pvp now..
