Guild Wars 2

Daendur.2357:

so what’s the point in world levels ? if not for imba skillz , for what ? +5 supply ? looool

That is what they should be for yeah, thank you for understanding.

No.

NO.

No.

NONONO.

How about no.
Pretty kitten Op buffs there, what you get for wvw xp should not buff you against other players, the ones that already do were a mistake. I am fine with your siege weapons and such getting better with wvw xp but not your stats or more tools to create gaps between players and make fair fights impossible.

So once again no.

Please explain how you see players getting a buff through siege is acceptable and stat buffs are not? Please consider in yur response the fact that roamers will be fighting 1v2 at least whilst probably getting shot by siege. Please leave your AC and play the game.

Siege vs players or vs doors is already an extremely asymmetric fight, so it doesn’t matter as much. (Though I believe flame ram mastery is totally broken.)

For player vs player, balance matters a lot — in terms of gameplay as well as psychologically.

+1

And leave my Ac? To this day i do not even know how many abilities an AC has :P
99.99% of my time spent in WvW i run alone or with 1-2 friends xD

I would love open world pvp but thing is that this whole game has not been designed in a way that would work so it is impossible.

With the other statements i disagree, especially armor. I have seen some really nice sets and am happy with mine aswell.

I think you want WoW type of armor which is the ugliest type of armor i have seen in any MMO to date (shoulders bigger than your head, glowing kitten swords and kids think those are cool)

Just one last thing, the last point for example is not the worst idea ever as it would only work when you are outnumbered, but ways for outnumbered servers to fight back need to be added in a way you do not need to farm for it. They need to improve the outnumbered buff and support outnumbered servers in general with mechanics in the game.

Farming in order to get a buff like that is just stupid.

Daendur.2357:

Gathslan.1870:

what you get for wvw xp should not buff you against other players

why ?
wvw is players vs players.
wvw buff should give more skill, passive bonus and strong buffs, not a stupid +1% dmg vs guards.

Are you serious?
Do you want stats to win you fights or your skill to win you fights?
I know which one it is for me, i want when i kill someone that it is because i played better not because of some stupid buffs you get by running around with zergs (roamer mastery yeah sure when you get it by zerging)

There is already TOO MUCH power creep in WvW with the guard buffs and bloodlust why would you want more?!

The kitten is happening to the players in this game?

No.

NO.

No.

NONONO.

Some of your problems would be fixed with the following actions.

Most dungeons and zones are empty because of no worthwhile loot.
Every mob on every zone drops same type of loot, so people find the best zone with most farmable mobs and just stick to it until a better one comes along.

Anet needs to improve the loot table and give good looking armor/weapons that drop from specific dungeons and zones, hence spreading out the playerbase and making every bit of content used.

Do not get me wrong though, i am saying they need to add good looking SKINS to different dungeons and zones as low chance drops. Skins that have no stats to them(or make them exotic stats as ascended would be too low drop chance)

There you go, a huge world with many different places worth a visit if you want your character to look cool

Brilliant idea… Not!

Dungeons already have unique armor and weapon skins… People play CoF p1. Tequatl has it’s unique skins. And there are 2 servers that can beat him… Everyone else ignore him.

After 12 months all they managed to develop was two(2) armor sets! So that really sounds more like bad joke than a fix.

Yeah they have not added that many skins as they are probably quite difficult to make, i think this would do what i said it would but if Anet can pull it off is another question.

And Tequatl requires 100 people to do it, it is a poor example : P a dungeon needs 5 and a zone 1.

And yes dungeons have their own skins, but not as drops. You slowly get them by doing it over and over again which is much less exciting ^^

In PvE that is but would also spice up WvW a bit.

They need to add a lot, and i mean a whole lot of armor that have cool looking skins but no increase in stats to dungeons and open world pve/wvw.

People all run to the most efficient farming spots because the loot is the same everywhere, it does not matter where you are killing mobs as it is gold you are after.
But if they add cool low chance to drop items to different zones and dungeons this would improve the world in the sense everyone will not just run over to the newest best champ farm spot..

This would give people a reason to do more dungeons other than the one that gives the most gold and spread out in more zones.
The armor would have to also be for the most part probably bind on pickup, otherwise you will just still farm champions and buy yourself what you want.
I do not think there is a problem with rare loot being added that does not award you with stats, i think that will actually make you excited when you open the next loot bag in a particular zone or dungeon.

Opinions?

+1 weapons
+1armors
What i love about the armors especially is that they are not over the top anime weirdo crap like the legendaries are, i was very afraid the ascended armor would be done in the same manner as legendary weapons and i am very glad to be wrong.

They just need to make the armor good for every race and bodysize.

Guild wars 2 has the most stable pop i have ever seen in a MMO since WoW(every MMO is pretty much dead within months after wow, but it has been a year and gw2 is doing well and Anet says pop is rising not the other way around)

But there are servers that have a low pop and ones that are more than healthy, but yes Gw2 is worth coming back to, content every 2 weeks and the game is not dying.

quaniesan.8497:

Anet, you guys should take a few minutes looking at other RPG’s fashion designs and learn a few things or two. Look at Terra for example, excellent sense of fashion .
And we have here…this gw2 , supposedly a revolution in mmo, and I never seen armors and weapon design this ugly. Fire the fashion team and get some folks from Korea, gosh.

Tera armor is terrible, but it really seems i am the minority liking this type of armor that they will release with ascended.

I got fingers crossed here, hopefully the stat buff will be removed/severely decreased.

Aza.2105:

Heavy armor is a joke, what is so hard about designing armor that makes warriors and guardians look like knights????

Anet needs to higher this guy: http://www.theroundtablet.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/holy-knight-dragon-rider.jpg

I want my guardian to look powerful, not like he belongs in a circus.

And again that armor looks terrible, wth is up with tastes these days, is everyone on these forums after some over the top ugly as crap generic anime type armor? Armor that has no actuall use nor you could move your body correctly?! The armor you linked really does not fit the feel of guild wars <.< The armor you LINKED would make you look like part of circus more than the light armor ascended set for male characters.

And guardians could use armor that make them look like knights, Warriors should get armor that make them look like mercenaries

Hanzlo.3148:

This are among ugliest and most repugnant armor pieces yet. This is a disaster!
I would rather drown myself in a pile of kitten then wear some of those pieces.
I’m super disappointed in that design.

I expected new armors to look more like this (my warr):

That is one ugly set of armor you got there XD

Once again i would like to praise Anet for the upcoming armor design, it looks pretty normal and usable but complex and detailed enough to make it impressive(unlike the magical kitten that screenshot has going for, legendaries=ugliest weapons in the game for starters) you look like some fairy more than a warrior!

We got very different tastes here : P but dont get me wrong ofcourse they can improve ascended armor for races like charr.

Btw remove bloodlust stat buff anet!

Galtrix.7369:

I would like this to happen as well, but I don’t see it happening. It’s little things like this that make the game seem like complete crap because it’s unpolished. I was actually looking for the option to see my own name yesterday, and when I couldn’t find it I almost deleted GW2. (I was having a rough day).

But thing is i doubt this is unpolish, more like Gw2 devs had a clear vision of what they wanted the AI to look like and show and that is what we got.

Ofcourse they could listen to feedback and improve though, but your almost delete is the most idiotic reason i have ever heard how the kitten does any game keep a customer like you around!?

+1

fingers crossed

The legendaries are the ugliest weapons in the game so i have no idea why anyone would like one for any other reason than to sell(or well transmuting and then using for free stat change is pretty good too)

I’m a nerd I’m a nerd I’m a nerd….

Really OP? Really????

You are a nerd too <3

I support this thread, support for RP so far is non existent.
The game does not even regognize typing as doing something so if you do not move every 20minutes or so while RPing you get kicked out for being afk

Marge.4035:

I sincerely hoped there will be more of it. Oh well.

3hair styles for every race and gender is massive ammount and load more than what i expected : P

Ofcourse more will be released in time, but i doubt that will be very soon What we got is a lot as it is.

Harper.4173:

Heavy armor looks terrible.
And when I say terrible – i mean terrible.
I will get ascended armor because of the stats- but honestly i had ALL my hopes riding with this update – hoping that with the new release of gear a new DECENT set will be out that will look awesome and worth wile to get.
Instead we get this…

Make this :

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Elite_Templar_armor

I love the heavy armor, an d a whole lot more than what you linked. Seems like im in the minority but happy Anet offers armor for me for once (they seem to have armor everyone likes and dislikes, i like this armor but the legendary weapons or armor with shiny/fiery effects is kittening ugly in my eyes, hideous xD)

I like the ascended more when it comes down to design : p
The armor needs a bit of fine tuning i think, or will just look a bit better ingame like most armors do.

But i do like the ascended armor a whole lot more than what you show :P

I love the armour, next to the heavy orr armor i will finally have another set i will be willing to use.

Love the new not over the top kiddy kitten approach Anet, thumbs up

Hey, just wanted to say that i am really happy you guys did a one week free trial and that i found out about it and tried it out..

I have been wanting to try Guild Wars 2 out for a while but never managed to try out the previous free trials..

I am really enjoying the game right now and i actually bought it yesterday =)

There is just soo many things to do and a large variety of what you can do, i’m still not quite sure on a few things but i look forward to checking them out soon as well,

So yeh, just wanted to show my appreciation, i hope this is the right place

Now i’m back off the Kessex Hills to level up my Ranger some more
=)

I really thought you were serious here, good to see you aren’t. Level 1-20 is fun… from there it goes steeply downhill.

Unless of course you’re me and you’re still happy (relatively) after a year of playing a lot.

Same here, amazing game

GSSBlunaspike.4153:

Venirto.4208:

I think the main problem is in your dye combinaion. Try different colours.

You don’t need to preview the fourth color. I haven’t checked medium but I didn’t see the fourth used on heavy/light.

The problem is also the parts that can’t be dyed. The way the color gets “highlighted” for some parts, and then becomes an off color on the others makes it ugly. Then there is the fact that again they didn’t put any work into the non human variants. On charr it is horribly stretched, it clips through on the shoulders, chest, and it has floating parts (anyone that has played charr knows what I’m talking about). I don’t know about the other races, but so far it only seems to fit humans that have certain body types.

The armor design itself i like but i am hoping since this armor is not yet released they will take some time to work on it and fix the problems you are talking about.

Fingers crossed.

The armor looks amazing so far but the screenshot dye combinations are horrible that are shown here XD

Very nice looking armor! WOW!
Better than i was expecting xD not over the top at all! Good job Anet!

On another note what is the female sets like? I am not at home so cannot log in and check

This gets a big tumbs up from me, the change i mean.

Anything that closes the gap between these incredibly idiotic stats is a good thing. Getting the WvW level stat buffs easier will be loads of help against bloodlust ;P

Thank you for this one Anet

I would say it is worth a try, this MMO feels very different from all the rest and it takes some time to get used to.

Once you get used to it though it is amazing, and content every 2 weeks (actuall content as in new dungeons and new places to explore that is playtime worth for many days) will keep you busy :P

But yeah, a positive responce from me. The game is good but these forums are full of people who just want to complain.
Complain about easy content and then complain about hard content. Have even seen people complain about too much content.

So yeah.

The bloodlust buff is a much larger issue than ascended ever will be.

My server got the buff and i have no interest in killing opponents while they have a disadvantage.

Check your underwater gear.
Choose stats for them.

Problem solved.

daydream.2938:

Orbs would be better if they gave a non combat -yet important -bonus. Like + magic find %, or + drop rate on currency tokens.

Agreed 100%
Anet please make WvW fun again and get rid off the orb buff the wvw xp buffs are already bad enough D :

The OP just described my worst nightmare ; p

Still waiting on bloodlust stat bonus removal before i start playing, come on Anet ; p

Elbegast.6970:

Aberrant.6749:

IDK how you could call the teq revamp underwhelming OP. It’s some of the best content in this game. I wish MORE of the fights had multiple tatics/phases required in them like the teq fight (I also love lupi because of this kinda stuff).

The go and click on X teeth etc. part was stupid and just kinda tacked on there to make it a living story kinda thing though (seriously stop doing this skilless kinda junk a-net). But who cares, the teq fight is awesome.

This time around we’re getting a new dung. You havn’t even seen it. Wait until you’ve done it.

I would call this underwhelming. Day #2 of the new Tequatl encounter on my realm:

I love the time on the minimap ;p 4 am…
Nice.

Bailey.6892:

giving us proper information or fixing bugs that have been out since release.

Combat log is still not showing accurate information, damage from conditions, pets, or healing.

This has only been reported since beta and still they sit on their er have failed the customer.

Kinda like the failure with the new blood lust and the info not showing properly.

…..

……………

If you look around the forums they have stated they will be improving the combat log next patch….

….. : P

On another note bloodlust buffs suck kitten and they should remove the stat part of the buff !

kazi.6438:

To be honest, if a 50-point stat buff is going to make the difference between losing to someone and beating them, you probably don’t deserve to win anyways. Running food buffs or having the new ascended gear is just as much of an advantage. A lot of commanders on my server will even throw down trays of food to buff their zergs. WvW is inherently not fair by design.

That said, I would like the stat buff removed. It makes the ruins almost mandatory to hold, turning an otherwise fun new map and mechanic (points per stomp) into just another objective to be zerged, which completely defeats the purpose of making a dueling area for roamers.

150 point stat buff you mean right? ; p

Cry cry cry, and more crying. These tears…they must fuel Anet for years to come. Get the hell over it and play the game. It isnt hard to capture and hold 3 points, it also isnt hard to stop a server from controlling more then two “orbs” seeing as they decap so fast AND it takes two minutes for the orb buff to go into effect.

That said it’s your server and players fault for losing the buff, an oversight of yours im sure.

Try harder pls.

Try harder at what? I’m not unhappy with the situation and my server always has at least one buff in its control. I have no need to try any harder.

It’s not my fault people kitten and moan about a buff they can’t keep because they have no coordination as a server.

Hello.

Another reason why the bloodlust buff sucks is because even when you are the one with the bloodlust buff any reason to have fair fights goes away since you have an advantage over your opponent.

Enemies have bloodlust buff and they will win if they are of equal skill as you (so you can only kill kittentier opponents than yourself) you have the bloodlust buff and any point of having a fair fight is gone since you cannot have a fair fight with the buff.

It sucks even if you can hold onto the points, i am not sure why i bother explaining this to you since you likely will not understand with your way of thinking : P

I love my class <3

Oh man this is put better than i could have ever said it.
When i kill someone i do not want it to be because i got some buff, i even limit the food that i use with that in mind as i do not use the most OP and expensive ones.

Hope Anet takes a good look at this..
The buff kittens up the fights no matter what, every opponent you meet that is as good as you will kill you with the buff, and if you have the buff and win you keep thinking what if i had not had the buff. Would i have lost?

It is just kittened either way.

Hope the emptiness is result of people not playing due to the bloodlust buff
That is the sole reason i have not stepped into WvW since the patch.

Remove kittened stat boost and i (and many other players i’m sure) will come back

Speak for yourself OP, the general conclusion on forums so far is any type of stat bonus that helps in a fight is a big problem while the changes to the map are pretty positive ^^

Decline in numbers deciding what stays and what does not is very flawed.

People will still keep playing(the big majority) even if changes they do not like come, because well.. there is no other option but WvW for many PvP types.

Solo, group, siege. You find that ALL in WvW and people will play despite stupid decisions.
Bad changes to the game will create long term problems more so than short term…

Yeah, those who disapprove of this kitten dont play until we see change.

If you agree to this change then you also agree to whatever future stats they will start creeping into the game.

Coarr.3286:

you have your keeps and we roamers have our playground now. dont see the problem at all.

I am a roamer and i am not pleased at all

The stats is the most stupid thing one could come up with, and the more they keep adding the worse it will be. The new area is great, but the stats are not.

Not a happy Roamer :P

Stupid thread is stupid.

Because game is not balanced around buffs they should not make WvW as fun/good content as it can be?

Go away.

Good job Anet, there should be some hard content in this game Dont listen to the whine, they will get over it.

+1

Stop playing WvW until this kitten stops.
I want them to remove the stats you get from WvW levels too, the ones at the very end of the trees.

Really i do not.
Do not play WvW until they remove this kitten please

Buff to points for server would have been enough, the stat increase is kittened.
