Guild Wars 2

“Magic-Find is just another way of making PvE fun.

If you want to get super-serious, get your kitten into WvW and fight for your server like real manly men."

Magic find is derivative, unoriginal, boring, idioctic, potentially not working and just aggravatingly “pick this or get no loot” inducing. That is not fun. That is stupid.

You want fun, how about a rune of the felled doylak that makes a doylak drop from the skies on your enemies as a small % chance on hit? That’d actually be fun. (potentially) Bigger loot is more a way of forcing everyone to play one way. “Rares only handed to people who play while holding one hand int he air!” would get panned, so should this.

Also, by real manly men I assume you mean real unemploye kids forming gank parties. Manly. (real manly men go sPvP)

“I recently ran AC story with 3 other 30-40 lvl characters. The one lvl 80 character was running MF, to no suprise he also died the most, was the most selfish behaving player (he wouldn’t res or use party wide benefit skills), and pretty much just sucked as a player.”

My guild runs full MF sets ranging from exotic (me) to blues (el cheapo members), we basically do full dungeon clears on pretty close to all dungeons without a problem. I think the “he sucked” potion of you saying he sucked it why he sucked.

“…because ever since I got my hands on X-Com: Enemy Unknown I haven’t logged in ONCE, nor do I feel the need to.”

Really? I keep playing XCom for a few hours until it does something to annoy me and go back to guild wars. Why do you expect one game to take 100% of your life for 100% of the time? Once I’m done with XCom once I’m probably never gonna touch that kitten muffin again.

“1. Walk if you cant afford the waypoint”

If your solution to the anti boring system is don’t use the anti boring system. . . It is not fine. Waypoint costs must go. Regular players are asked to walk around like chumps while bots use beaming codes and farm everything. Players are asked to trudged to dungeons to play together. You have to pay to help guildies. It’s dumb, and must leave.

“7.I didnt buy a game to have a breeze on it. I expect challenges. Money is a challenge amongst other things in the game. "

Money is a grind. Please define your words better. Also, I doubt anyone would call using a waypoint challenging so, by this point, their fee is not required.

“10.Be smart when you place orders/bids on the Trading Post. Dont undercut others by 10s or more. 1c or 0c will do the job. Dont place orders that you cant afford. Dont place bids over 1c or more. This is just stupid and wastes your money, and everyone elses. Dont sell junk on the TP, you loose money on the listing fee. Sell your junk to vendors.”

Do realize if something is currently selling for 6 copper and you put a buy order for 10, you pay the 6 and are refunded the 4 leftover copper.

“I could see making magic-find stats (on gear) unstackable, so the rest of your equips have to have normal “useful” stats.”

At which point why not just remove it completely?

I vote it gets taken off too, even if my magic find sets become useless and need replacing.

“Are you sure it’s server lag and not just you? I’ve never experienced server lag in any world event.”

It’s server lag, I play on HoD and often I’ll spot monsters spawning in and dying instantly AFTER an event is over – but this is an event with a couple of hundred people on it.

“As those of you have seen, certain legendary’s are outclassed by other’s, and all are outclassed by the greatswords.

My idea is that all legendaries gain boosts in cosmetic effects to make them on par with the Sunrise, Twilight etc."

Sunrise and Twilight do not look that good. I agree some of them aren’t that great, but honestly, I think the best legendary right now is the flameseeker phrophecies and it is the only one I am going for.

“In fact, they also said some of the dungeons were so difficult that the QA teams couldn’t beat them.”

. . . The ANet team is pretty bad then. The only boss I have not been able to reliably beat is Giganticus Lupicus without pulling to waypoint.

Do realize overflow servers do not have the same events as the stock servers.

This will lead to 300+ people jumping on the dragon and only 50-100 getting the dragon.

Doesn’t help that the charr failed to take one freaking city for 200 years. I doubt they’d succeed at getting past the centaurs, TBH.

Deleted a mystic coin by mistake this way once too. I support this.

“If you don’t like MF then don’t use it. Why remove it from the game? Aren’t there more important things to fix right now?”

It’s because it’s a stupid stat idea. Why not just make armour that says “Gives you money for being logged in – may actually take money away.” Weither or not the “may actually take money away” part is there, this is a stupid armour set. GW1 was not about boosting you drop rate through armour, and it creates disparity amongst players. To me it also goes against ANet’s play like you want motif.

“Sure you CAN run cleric’s armour but you PROBABLY won’t get good loot. But you can do it if you WANT to.” So yeah, you end up running full MF. Yay.

“Are you serious? I make easy money in WvW even when my server has 0 holdings.”

Then the server you are against must suck. On HoD, it tends to be a long standstill with very few kills unless you just go around collecting/harvesting monsters. It really sucks.

I also would like magic find removed from the game. Same with gold drop % increase.

Both of these are incredibly stupid.

LoreChief.8391:

6. I like this idea, or at least a way of making it more convenient/cheaper than having to buy a 3g skill book everytime I wanted to re-roll my playstyle.

6: You can click on the second box on the person who sells books and he’ll retrain you for 4 silver O.o It’s not 3g a retrain.

“Wow… rocks and shadows… amazing.”

Why not go back to snes graphics? Wow 3d. . .

Textures would be the only thing I could think of.

Oh, and lightning. And shadows. And volume. . .

15 characther slots. Getting a few legendaries will be a PITA enough, let players get their exp at the speed they want (fast) and stop complaining.

Oddly enough, this occured a lot more in the beta.

There was actually a lot of weather changes in WvW too in the beta.

“Well, people have Twilights already, so it must be possible, no? N.B. The trading post is global.”

Correction : Exploiters have twiligh due to the amount of money they made in exploiting the making of dusk and dawn.

In other words, there aren’t that many legendaries going around by non exploiters.

The reason you don’t see their names over their heads is an attempt to “dehumanize” them. Basically, them being nameless “invaders” makes them seem more of an evil maurauding force then it does a play and makes you feel more heroic fighting them.

Of course WvW is a giant snore fest design to demorailize anyone who isn’t a 13 year old who screams “LLLLLLOOOOOOOLLLLLL” out loud in real life every time he gets a kill, so that effect backfired.

Why exactly did you buy the Ascalonian weapons if you hate the blue hue look in the evening? That’s kind of the entire reason they are there – normal during the day, ghostly at night.

So you want that annoying circle crap I hated from STO? No please.

“Metaphorical not literal, genius.”

Even then your startment is kind of weird. It’d be like me saying this car is the uncanny valley of a truck. A failed hybrid/progression to is a better statement.

Also, it depends on the type of game you want. GW2’s actions is, IMO, helped and not hindered by auto assist casting from tabbed targeting. If you had to struggle with every attack like it was an ele spell cast, they’d have to do a lot more damage turning the game more into DoW2’s “ranged blobs vs melee spam” conundrum.

“In GW2 it totally feels like the game ENDS at L80. Unless of course you only care about useless and superficial things.”

I consider most other MMOs to end around level 15-20 when the game goes from “progress and learn” to “get better @#$%ing items kitten.” Unless of course you like useless (doing the same thing with bigger numbers) and mind numbing (do dungeon X until gear Y drops so you can do the same in dungeon Z) things.

And yes, WoW ends around level 15-20 (maybe 30 since I heard they made it easier to level). After that, the game turns into a zombie fest game of “Do X over and over and over and over and (ad infinitum) again and we’ll give you a bigger number! ZOMG!”

-Here’s a new dungeon! +50 to your numbers if you kill these plants instead of those droids for 5 days! Then you can go kill the fire imps for 5 days for another +50! Then the demons! Isn’t this AWESOME!?

“What about those who want a “gear treadmill” as everyone calls it?

from what I see is two parties, One wants a challenging endgame with a requirement (Gear,item,teamwork) system and the other just wants casual gameplay for fun."

There’s a lot of things GW2 said it would be – and a lot it said it would not be – and a lot that’s grey and mutable. What you’re asking for is for GW2 to be something it said it would not. Other games let you go through gear threadmills.

How about you collect every dungeon drop from every dungeon? All lights mediums heavies and all weapons? Then move on to the next. Other then the little placebo of +50 damage / dungeon, it’s exactly the same as wow. Actually, still probably faster. . .

“You have played for 725 hours. Please take a break.”

There was a month where I left guild wars on straight. I think I did worst then that at a point through.

A) I do not agree with your tab targetting issue, not completely. B ) You have no idea what the uncanny valley is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley

“I have been using shout heals, and it does NOT heal for 6000 a person,
or I am getting incomming damage equal to 5000 a second or close,
which makes the shout heal useless, looking at the CD time.
(in WvWvW, with +healing power maxed from traits)”

You want one person to make the group invulvenrable in WvW?

Also : 1’500 x 3 shouts = 4’500 heals per person every 20 seconds. (assuming FGJ, OMM, and SiO).

Healing is a supporting thing. Everyone should have it if they can. Hell, my heals specced ele can bring an area up to full HP in about 5 seconds every 40 seconds.

“The fights should be balanced around NOT being able to use the waypoint until the fight ends.”

A lot of the Arah dungeon has this. They setup walls that blockade you from ressing if you die. Giganticus kittenic. . . I mean lupicus is the only one that doesn’t do that and is a tad insane ATM.

“Look at warrior shout healer… 15000 heal every 25 sec to group without healing power!
Its 6000 heal for single party member passive gain! + self heal”

You forgot that heal warriors should also always be a hammer build with “gain adrenaline on shout” so that they also spam a crap ton of stuns. The overall damage output of the enemy drops by around 30%, and you heal most of your teammates for 1/4 of their lives.

“I am a dark, dread Necromancer. I do not see why I have to wear all these bloody feathers, bows, and ribbons all the time. I really, really hate them. There are way too many flowy bits. I want simple armour that covers my entire bottom and chest. Something with skulls.”

http://www.gw2armor.com/human/female/light_list.php

Dry Bones armour is for you, then. Also, the tactical armour.

http://www.gw2armor.com/

I remember a few sets not having dangling bits, like the heart vendor heavy armour. Will take a look in a few hours.

Had a look – AC, WvW, heavy plated, plated, and the order armour seem to have decent choices for “no dangle” armour.

It’s to keep with the flavor, but I do agree we should get more “armory” looking armours for everyone, same with more “clothy” looking armours for the warriors (koda makes a nice light heavy set for instance!)

Wait for xpacks, factions and nightfall brought us a few more of these type of things later on.

Transmute stones work to level 79. Fine transmute stones work at level 80.

Actually, please add issue 3. Stomp from stealth. How has this NOT been fixed yet? This is the worst thing I’ve encountered in sPvP and WvW. Everything else (attacking, skills) breaks stealth so why does “jam giant spear into person” not?

“Autobalance is already in the game for 8v8, the hell are you talking about?”

My last 3 matches of 3v1, 4v1 and 8v3. And my current match of 3v1.

Also, my trait reset happens every second match after I join PvP so it throws me off.

1) Please autoforce team balance. I’m tired of losing 3 to 8 or worst matchups.

2) Please fix trait resets. It seems the warrior shout traits have a 50%~ chance to reset on match start and it’s really annoying.

1) It has affected a few lines of dialogues for me. 2) Probably more options in the future.

I’d like it if things like personality would affect certains other things (dialogue wise – not combat wise like this person suggests. What, are militant people going to get a permanent 5% summon chance and diplomatic a permanent stealth on hit chance or kitten? No please no.) Would also like some funny things like vegan vs meat lover for cooking for hilariousness later on.

“I’d really rather they take the penalties of repairing away in dungeons where death is assured.”

Death isn’t fully assured in anything other then boss fights in dungeons. Either you’re undergear, underleveled or underskilled.

Granted the armour cost needs to be lowered (6s for an exotic is a insane) and stripped off WvW.

It currently gives a chest, an event completion and around 200’000 experience at 80.

Honestly, just leave it in. It’s on one map and if your side is dominating it’s something to do. Also, upsetting the balance = more change = more fighting for WvW anyway.

There’s two layers to the dungeon armour.

The first one is low to high level armour and all has a generic skin.

Look for the second tab/bag, it has the unique dungeon armour skins.

This is from the merchant pane.

Better suggestion – gem prices as cash estimation for certain currencies (USD, Euro, etc)

Story and quite a few race specific things : ex – starting pet, would probably be warped. My better question is how did you screw up what RACE you wanted?

Hold shift and try on the mini map again.

Just when you thought the world was safe -
A nice happy friendly place.

Little did you realize,
hiding and living was your great demise.

IR – the magic of increasing return.
IR – we’re gonna hunt you down and let you burn.

Never again will any little ogre or hydra or skritt,
be spared from our loot filled combat trip.

IR – the power to get more drops
IR – never stopping the murder bots

Do not worry you cute little bunny -
After we get you we’ll go loot your mommy.

I would skin a spark if I could –
In the rain or in the dark, and if I should –
I would find go into the woods and find leet plants –
For it would give my caster some new epic pants.

IR – the longer you stay alive
IR – the more you are my loot lust prize.

There weren’t really that many outfits in GW1 until some of the xpacs came in. I expect we’ll get outfit specific xpacs in this game to keep us going.

50 silver per level? Srsly? That’s 40 gold for doing the weekly survey.

Unless this took 8 hours to fill, way too much.

On a side note, surveys would be nice to leave.

“I don’t really see the need.”

What if you WANT the 63k / ea karma item set on someone who doesn’t have 63k karma?

Make everyone invisible to someone who’s dead. Problem solved.

“This is one of the things I miss about Warhammer. Your character didn’t have to look like a pinup or model. They could actually have some character.”

The difference between warhammer and the rest of the world’s games on characther creation. The rest of the world have body types like “Heroic”, “righteous”, “holy”, “well built”. Warhammer has body types like “malign”, “stunted”, “deformed” and “bludgeoned”. I do miss my bright wizard in WAR looking like a demented psycho that just had his spell explode in his face.

That said, I like most of the face and body types in this game. Granted, I am a bit disappointed in the male/female norns. The originals looked better, IMO (GW1), and while I tried making a “strong” looking norn girl in the beta – she just looked fat to me. The man are insanely larger though. . . Not too sure how you’d make the girls work like that, female body types tend to distore more easily then men unless we make all of them look fat by out standards.
