Guild Wars 2

No subscription fee.
Wanted MMORPG (sorta).
Played the first one.

One of the only things I recall are form WvWvW, we were in a Eternal Borderlands in the fort juts north of the Ogre camp, we were getting attacked from whatever team were on the Ogre isde/

I was wondering to myself, “we’re getting pushed a lot I dunno if I should drop down a treb” then I was like “hell with it! I wanna be selfish, I want to kill people<”

As my treb was half way being built, someone yelled out “THEY’RE SETTING UP A TREB” I was in shock I was thinking “!” “I have the gift! I’ve already countered them before they even managed to attack!” Then I trebbed their unfinished treb, it was fun.

I think we lost that battle in the end, but it didn’t matter as I thought to myself “I destroyed someone elses fun before they could even get a taste of action”.

Yea, learned that lesson. Also I barely bought a few with gold like maybe 12 hours ago around 61gold for 100 gems, now they’ve spiked further to 79g per 100 gems.

Really shoulda bought them a month ago when they were 60% less than what they were now. Hopefully the 1400gems I am sitting on will be enough to get some costumes maybe. :[

Wouldn’t be surprised if they simply introduced an auto-looting pet feature for the gemstore. As it would be somewhat quite demanded, trying to pick up your loot in a mass of dead mobs can be a pain, the sparkling isn’t really that highly noticeable.

I don’t like how the cash shop is turning out either. I’m fine with the costumes, as it was like that in GW1. But now it’s turning more into one of those F2P type of games where they try to integrate the cashshop into core event activities.

Sure some people will use the “lolololo i can make 10g in an hour i not know wut problem is wit u guyz” not everyone is at the super efficient level. Not to mention that gem prices have been rising for the event and if people want the weapon skins which are somewhat similiar to GW1 christmas candy cane skins, it becomes problematic for them as they can’t amass such large amounts of money to afford such things. Unless they simple go with paying hard cash for gems, then again they’d still end up at the gambling phase.

Not to mention the weapon skins are thrown in as part of the generic F2P gamble model, as they know it will make them the most money. Wouldn’t be as bad if it were simply a weapon skin just being sold as a skin on the gem store.

Nope happened to me recently, I was trying to load up the Eternal Battlegrounds jumping puzzle map and it simply didn’t fully load, I could even hear the background ambient sounds going on too with random splashes and such.

OP needs to add in more detail when discussing about things.

They possible simply ran out of time, their publishers couldn’t wait any longer. Or they actually saw the product as done. Unknown.

Look at it this way.

Easy transmutes for your alts.

To me, that is kinda pointless as you kinda outlevel your gear and you are constantly replacing it. So it seems like a hassle to contstantly keep transmuting them over and over. I rather (and do) simply just use the unlimited heritage transmutation skins instead.

You shouldn’t worry about such things unless you are a bot. I mean as a human you should probably be moving around more fluidly compared to bots. The only thing you have to worry about is the DR kicking in (depending where you play e.g. orr), e.g. if you are in orr you are pretty much killing risen monsters only, with that in mind, the only thing you need to worry about is if the DR has kicked in who knows when that comes in, after 30 mins? less?

Yea quite a few elites out there are pretty horrible and leave me with; looking at them and thinking “what? this is an elite skill?” e.g. the guardians elite tomb that gives you 3 second invulnerability and recharges all your virtues.

Sure it looks okay in some sense, no damage and get your virtues back but…is that it? it doesn’t really give off that “When I click this skill, I will feel a surge of power and amazingness!” instead it’s like click “…” (you don’t feel anything).

Although I rarely play my guardian anymore, I had mained as a ranged, the ranger’s elite ‘Entangle’ skill is pretty awesome, because it entangles a lot of foes within your area. This is especially awesome when used in WvWvW during large fights when you simply immobilise a handful of their enemy, causing them to panic as your team pounds into them as they can’t run.

But ranger still has a crappy elite, the ‘Nature of Renewal’ only revives downed players. Quite useless as you can res them by yourself for probably the same amount of time as waiting for the spirit to cast it’s revive. Not to mention spirits die easily. Now if it revived DEFEATED players, maybe. But as it is now, it’s just rubbish.

I only thought about it today but wasn’t there meant to be a ranger elite that brought out 3 pets, I would have thought that would have been elite worthy but it’s no longer here. There is the PvE human balthazar dogs (wish I had picked that, I didn’t fully understand the choices at the time, so I am left with some other less flashy thing which I can’t even remember).

Simply because they’d rather have fine transmutation stones to be more gem-exclusive (sure you can get them from the black lion chest when you get some free keys but that is still random and mainly requires you to buy keys).

Basic stones are the junk freebies that they can just throw about, because the fine ones are the only real ones that count as once you hit 80 that’s the end of the line, you don’t need to climb further.

I pre-ordered it from a retailer for £29.30 something like $47, yea game has been worth it even though there are quite a few things I am displeased about it, but overall I got my moneys worth.

Maybe you are thinking of the Charr Cultural Tier 3 set.

i would assume that they are only a short term solution and Anet has a more long term goal to stop the bots/gold farmers.

Short term can vary from person to person. How long this short term is, we will never know.

e.g. They expect this game to run for at least 10 years. Having a DR system implemented for a 8months can look like a short term situation in the overall picture.

I’ve been playing for two weeks and I already knew, by when the dailies reset, that the monthly would reset at 5pm yesterday.

I guess I’m a genius.

Kinda what that guy said. I would have thought people would have noticed when their dailies reset. With that knowledge that would easily knew when monthlies reset.

The DR is simply a hindrance for legit players.
It simply acts as an artificial timer for how long you can play.

It limits how long you can stay in a single area. I find that just stupid. Let’s say I’m in a level 40-45 area and I just want to stay around there and it’s only got the same type of creatures in there.

To solve the DR, some would say “Go explore else where, or go ____”.

Why should I do that? I want to be in that area as it would be the appropriate are for me to be in at that level. I don’t want to have to go somewhere else just to have to work around some system that wasn’t aimed at me.

Although in the cases of Orr and being 80, I’m simply left with the constant feeling of “Have I been here for too long? It’s been 10 minutes, has the DR kicked in, I should probably quit for the day for”.

Will bots suffer from this? Not as much. Why? They simply run constantly for hours. Not to mention they’ve already have hacked in teleports which I’d assume they would easily program the bot to just teleport to different locations after certain amount of time. So they wouldn’t be hindered by this.

While a legit player like me has to think if playing 10 minutes in orr is too much.

Should always try completing them before the final day.

As for the monthly survivor, if you are lucky, you kind of do it in WvWvW if you have a zerg group going. I got mine like that and I didn’t even realise at the time that the monthly achievements had reset until some icon popped up on the screen.

Also ya … this guy makes sense!

Playing with your low level friend = simply being their bodyguard/muscle. Nothing more.

High waypoint costs seem very counter productive for a game like this.

It’s equivalent to the Diablo 3 repair costs increase that Blizzard did. It simply punished the player playing the game in the end.

To be honest if I saw someone wearing pink in GW2, breast cancer would be one of the last things I thought about.

I’d simply think “Oh that person wants to have bright coloured armor” and nothing more. Now if GW2 actually had a news update or implemented some NPC ingame handing out pink dyes explaining why. Then that would be a plausible reason for people to know about breast cancer.

If people don’t realise what you’re doing and you have to tell them, you are simply better off spamming about it in the major cities.

Damage numbers appear white. Imagine using some AOE skill then you try to use a closer range skill but you can’t see (catching your attention) the difference between the white text and the random damage numbers constantly popping up.

The benefits of account bound karma is that it won’t make the gameplay experience feel like you are being punished or wasting time trying to acquire karma on your other characters.

I mean the game was designed to be appealing so you would try out all classes and such, as it is now; for people who like playing various classes (like myself) getting karma on your alts that you would want to go towards getting cosmetic gear is simply pointless.

e.g. I’ve played my ranger for over 130+ hours and I have gained around 88k+ now. Now if I switch characters and play around on a thief and think “Oh I like this character, I would like ____ cosmetic gear”, it wouldn’t even be worth it, because that would mean I would have to play over 80+ hours on that thief alone to try to gain somewhat similiar karma that my ranger has now. Then what happens if I feel like that I would prefer my Guardian to have something cosmetic also? All that time went into the thief would seem like a waste when players start to think of the game in a time management sense.

“I shouldn’t waste time playing on [class] if I want the karma gear on my [class]”

With how things are it doesn’t feel like you are progression at all when playing. Diablo 3 had this same problem, they did some changes and then realised their playerbase were being punished when playing the game and were not really gaining anything when playing their game.

If karma becomes account wide, it won’t matter what character/class you play, you will still continue to progress to whatever karma gear you want, then players like me won’t feel punished for playing newer characters with very little karma.

Because as it is now, it feels all over the place (I’ve read similiar feelings towards the traits on other forums).

To be honest, the Guardians trait lines are putting me off the Guardian, simply because everything feels like they are slotted in random places and it is hard to make a decent build.

I don’t know how long I’ve wasted just looking at the traits trying to figure a build out. I’ve stopped ingame after doing some random events then think “I’ll take another look at the traits” next thing I know 20 minutes have passed and I’ve still not decided on anything.

I’ve played around a bit with other classes and had a look at their traits and their trait lines seem to be more clear where you can see what leads to what. As for the Guardian, I’m always left thinking “Oh I could go for # in Trait A oh but that might go well with Trait D but that needs ##, although Trait C has something that trait D that might synergise with but that would require ##”

I was wondering if the devs have had this feedback and may have thought of considering reslotting various trait lines in the Guardian traits to make things ‘flow’ better.
