Overall, I think WvWvW is pretty much a failure. I hope Arenanet sticks to PvE and some sPvP and Arenas for the future.
Stick with the smaller BGs…much more fun.
The queue times to get into WvW say otherwise. Granted, you do not care for the current incarnation of WvW, but that doesn’t mean Anet should exclusively focus on gameplay YOU find more satisfying. I think it’s good they are providing choice.
They have said that if you invite a friend, they will be able to play on your server regardless of server status.
So how do I tell what is an “active” server..
The WvW sub forum would be a good place to start.
No one has the ability to gkick him? I’m not familiar with the guild ranks, although I’m surprised there is no GM rank (only one).
I just don’t want to log in lol.
Aaaand, this is what you said in another thread one month ago:
“after playing over 100tpvp games I just can’t even force my self to log in.”
I really don’t know why you made this thread either.
1. Basically, when ever I logg onto GW2, my characters feel very “floaty”, or “detached” form the ground, specially when strafing. This also leads to the walking/running and turning feeling “forced” and “slugish”.
This was the very first thing I noticed about the game and was immediately concerned that I made a $60 mistake. I took me some time to get used to. It seems the movements are not as “tight” as some other games, although I find it much better than lotro. This is, imo, one thing wow does better.
I also agree that arrows lack a certain “oomph” factor. Other than that I’m generally happy with everything else. The character models themselves are among the best I’ve seen, right up there with AoC.

So he can decide what he wants to play on the market to cash in or cash out on. That’s the only reason. Some one would want to know what’s being changed ahead of time.
If that’s the case then I’m glad they don’t come out beforehand. In order to “cash out” you need someone willing to “cash in,” who in turn will be screwed over because he/she didn’t read the patch notes ahead of time or doesn’t normally play the market.
Why do you need to know ahead of time?
It’s standard practice in almost every other mmo I have played (even non mmo’s often have patch notes ahead of patch day eg Civ V), to offer patch notes befaor the patch goes live, GW2 is the first, that I have seen, that offers patch notes post patch.
As a poster above stated, they are most likely making changes right up to the last minute. Still doesn’t answer the question why it’s needed. It’s not like you’re going to do anything different until it’s live anyway. And, the patch notes are usually up within minutes of it going live.
I think your best bet is really late night/early morning NA time. The server is generally full every other time, and seems to be staying on full status a lot more than it used to. Because…we are awesome:)
I haven’t done any of the math, but I personally pick the trait lines that have the minor/major traits that compliment my playstyle. I then make up my deficient stats with gear/runes/sigils.
No one is ever going to spend money on that.
If that’s really the case, I’m sure Anet will have other designs available at some point…that’s just good business.
Why do you need to know ahead of time?
If you enjoyed the Shaman in WoW, you might want to consider the Warrior. They drop banners that give various benefits to other players (ie. totems), they can be a melee oriented class (ie. enh shaman) or ranged with rifle/bow (ie. ele shaman) and when traited appropriately can provide a good amount of healing (ie. resto shaman). So you’ve got all three shaman specs wrapped up into one nice and neat package:)
TC seems to be full more often than not nowadays. Perhaps try really early morning.
Stick with the Guardian. IMO it has bits of Shaman and Paladin, but you won’t find an exact match here. Go to the Guardian subforum and there is a Guardian 101 thread stickied at the top. Read that and it will give you a good sense of what the class is all about.
I spent 2 hours yesterday and I had a lot of fun but still I felt like I just wasted 2 hours of my life since I didn’t achieve anything
You had fun, and yet you felt like you wasted those 2 hours? In real life when you have fun does that mean you need to achieve something as well?
i do pvp wvw hearts dungeons and so on. nothing really seems to be fun maybe once arena net puts in like a group finder or something it might be better but atm i just seem to be spending 90% of my time trying to find groups and failing to find anyone and just logging off
I can understand if you’re having difficulty finding groups for certain dungeons, but for pvp, wvw and hearts……does not compute.
Servers are listed as full based on how many people are registered on the server, not how many people are logged on at a given time.
That’s pure speculation.
I don’t know about lowering server caps, but I just started a new character in the human zone and it’s as full as I’ve seen it since launch. A few newbie questions is map chat too, so for sure some new players coming on board.
I’m pretty sure they’ve said that they don’t have the tools to (re)create items in game. I think you are out of luck. Maybe you can try for a refund instead.
Servers show up full 24/7 because it’s based on the number of accounts linked to that server, not the number of players online.
I doubt that. My server floats regularly between high and full during the day.
I don’t think it would be unreasonable to give more advanced notice, say a half hour or so, and post a note in the launcher. WoW does this, and really isn’t that the benchmark?
PS. I’m kidding on that last part.
Fixing a drop rate is a matter of changing a few numbers around.
40 MB is a ton of numbers.
Even if there was only one line of code within a file that determined the drop rate, wouldn’t it be reasonable to expect that the entire file(s) containing that single line of code be patched?
You sound like a mature guild leader who makes decisions based on rational thought and thorough research.
Unless you, uh, check in the News and Announcements section:P
I wish I had known this before I transmuted my Storm Eye and now it’s no longer visible. Oh well, I guess I’ll keep it in my bank and not waste any more transmutation stones until it’s fixed.
That’s just something you’re going to have to live with in this game unfortunately.
It’s incredibly shallow
I don’t get it. At a very minimum you have 15 abilities while in combat (at level 30) with multiple weapon sets, healing, utility, elite skills, special abilities (ie. Mesmers’ shatters; Warrior’s burst skill, etc), plus all them traits. If this feels shallow then I’m only a foot tall.
I remember being excited about the next 3 levels or so and having a really strong ambition to hammer through those levels to get that skill I wanted to play with.
And with that one statement right there, you perhaps unknowingly hit upon the reason why you get all your skills up front. The journey is the game, not rushing through content to get to that next shiny. It took me awhile to get this concept because other games conditioned me to think that way. Some never will.
Well I don’t know how you can argue with some random person on the ranger forums who says it’s going pay-to-play.
Personally, I’m not bothered if they extend the event. I live in the US Midwest where ice storms are common in the winter, and severe weather in the spring. From Anet’s standpoint, I’d be concerned about setting a precedent. At what point do you modify your in-game events due to real world ones?
It would definitely be easier if my warrior leap skill didn’t fire off if I was not in range of my target. I would also like the game a little bit less – easier isn’t always better.
There’s a pumpkin carving Halloween tent just outside Divinity’s Reach. Next to it is a small stage with someone playing the Mad King.
Warrior. They have banners and shouts for support, and can wreck as good as anyone with a weapon, especially melee. You can even do both at the same time.
A developers underlying game design philosophy is only credible if they walk the walk. Saying that “we only talk about features that are actually in game” and then saying “we decided to focus on something else instead” essentially renders their original philosophy invalid. For the record I agree with this new direction, but their credibility takes a hit, IMO.
Greetings,
I’m wondering if you have to be lvl 80 for halloween events, or if being lvl 80 gives you more events.
Thanks.
Since nothing is officially known yet, I would guess the answer to both of your questions is “yes” assuming the events aren’t confined to the cities.
So by ‘look good’, you mean semi-nude and impractical? I think it should be a general rule in these games that if you want heavy or even medium armour you have to cover up. Anyone exposing skin gets increased vulnerability. Give people the option to look sexy at the expense of stats, and then facepalm when they whinge about it.
You can’t think of armor in purely “physical” terms. Stats are just as much a function, if not more so, of magic than they are of how much body space they actually cover-up. This is a fantasy game; the rules of our world do not strictly apply here.
I would have stayed just for the fun of it. That said, the developers have stated that the loot drops in open world are horrendously low and they are working to fix that.
A couple things. First, make sure you have unequipped both items. Second, make sure you have selected ALL of the boxes so they line up in the middle – the one you want the looks of; the stats; and any bonuses – all three must be selected before you get the lighted transmute button.
I think the difference is, for a lot of people, games like Skyrim have an end, whereas MMOs are supposed to go on “forever.” That said, there’s an awful lot of people, myself included, that could just keep playing Skyrim even after “beating the game.” I also happen to love GW2, so perhaps there is a correlation.
Trying to share my knowledge and advise people so they don’t make the same mistakes that I and many others did.
That’s illogical. If you are responding to a poster, they have paid for the game, so mistake or not, they have already made it.
You havent logt in for 3 weeks and yet you feel the need to still be active on this forum.. What’s keeping you ..
Have you ever heard the saying “misery loves company?” Well, that’s your answer:)
People will always complain that Game X is missing certain features available in Game Y. GW2 has stuff to do at 80; it’s just not the same stuff as some other games out there, and some people don’t like that. I wouldn’t concern myself with what others want, as long as you are having fun doing what YOU want:)
They are called acts, not events. That implies they will take place over time, not a point in time.
My apologies then. Looking at your posts you seem very pro GW2, therefore I assumed you were referring to my post going nowhere. Sorry! Never assume, MadFlea,never assume!
I actually wasn’t agreeing with your post, at least not the tone in which it was written. While I’m sure it’s frustrating to encounter bugs and whatnot, I don’t think it’s fair to call-out ANet as not caring and not working toward fixing them. The evidence is already there. Look at the patch notes; look at the developer tracker. Heck, it makes business sense to get these things fixed. They are making headway, and it’s just going to take some time. But no hard feelings; you were venting, and I was being sarcastic. Stick with it; it’ll get better:)
@Gilandred – quotes not working but 22 days ago “Demeaning the opinions of others is, well, rather disrespectful. Take your own advice then.” ;-)
I quoted and agreed with what you said. Sorry you find that disrespectful:)
You have numerous weapon, healing, utility, and elite skill choices, not to mention trait selections that you can use to compliment your playstyle. Did you not know that?
Where is this going? Nowhere really.
I reached the same conclusion.
Their competitor’s don’t give out server numbers, so why should they?
It’s from the Hall of Monuments. Only way to get this, as far as I know, is from playing Guild Wars.
