Guild Wars 2

Personally, I’m waiting for the Titanic final battle in the new area named Torrey Canyon. We will be accompanied by a loudmouthed merchant NPC named the Herald of Free Enterprise.

Any names related to real incidents are purely coincidental.

Celestina.2894:

Well this takes the cake for dumbest thread of the day.

Doesn’t beat the person moaning that one of the staff skins in the past depicted devil worship!

Thankfully I won’t have to hear her voice again.

Great voice actor, wrong character.

Just done the first part, investigating in Scarlett’s room.

For an RPG, this game has become very very linear

I use a Logitech G600. If I use G-shift, it unlocks my cursor. Of course this means I try to turn but my cursor is off the screen and I can’t find the little rascal!

Will try the mouse option, whenever I choose to play GW2 again. Cheers, Olba!

I want furry armour with cute animal tails!

Or just any non-gem medium armours that look cute (exempting Duellist/Sneakthief).

There was just the poster print offer (including HUGE sizes), a useless bubblesheet keyboard, a mouse with no real functionality. Tat basically.

Oh there was the official book that was sold out before launch and never reprinted. Since I am a collector of anime art/cel books I really would like a copy. I paid over £65 for Gorillaz’ Rise Of The Ogre and would pay the same for a GW2 art book.

I’d also pay, willingly, for 3d printed figurines of my characters.

Yeesh. I don’t play heroclix but I’d pay decent money for a DE set and a Biconic set of them.

Basically, think IRC chat type RP, but slower. Expect a short conversation to last half-an-hour, and a complex scene to have to be done in several parts because someone invariably has to log off to walk the dog / have dinner / go to bed because they’re at school or work tomorrow. There is no emotive expression, so it is more like writing a book with several co-authors, but much much slower.

If you have never IRC RPd, and are used only to TTRP, don’t bother. It WILL bore you.

BTW, I used to V:TM both TT and IRC :p I still have an official Ventrue pin badge round somewhere.

I’m not sure. Those boobs sure intimidate me!

I think he is bang on.

As for pompous, he is gifted with a clear voice and being able to talk fluidly. If that is pompous, then I don’t know what to say…

Anyone wearing Zodiac armour wins my award for most stupid look.

Aluminium. Flavour. Colour.

Get it right!

I tried it first with an Engineer and it took aaaages. But I learned the mechanics, what I was doing wrong, and got it quite easily after that. Still a good challenge for the medium skilled such as myself and quite fun when I got the gist.

chronometria.3708:

It has always puzzled me that we dress ourselves in the costumes of our hated enemies. Karka tentacle backpacks, scarlet backpacks, aetherblade outfits and slick packs…its like the allies winning world war 2 and then dressing as the Reich.

Yeah, something akin to killing a messiah then wearing symbols of the method of his death! (sorry, HAD to say this!).

So there are no rewards for completing metas at all? No more cool skins like the Gasmask, or the Fervid Censer? Then what is the motivation to do the achievements?

biofrog.1568:

But I’m an engie.. we only have one stability skill, and thats only for 4 seconds every 30

Oh and a mortar aka sitting-duck gives stability, at the expense of living.

I have sadly long since learned that if I want to ‘play’ I can use my Engineer, but if I want to ‘succeed’, I need to change to a Warrior.

Dalanor.5387:

Tanith.5264:

…and get to Nageling for target practice!

Or learn to dodge in melee range intead of range exploit it. =]

Ehhhm… okay, you got me on that one!

Now I know that Debi Derryberry voiced Belinda, it reinforces my point:

Great voice actor, wrong character.

I have solo’d that Nageling giant on a Ranger, I am unafraid!

I have mainly seen Gaile Gray doing her sterling work helping with accounts, and Booby Stein often posts on questions regarding the storyline. Sometimes other creative department staff members will comment on specific things, or a bug-hunter will say that a particular issue is being looked at.

I agree, however, that community relations have really hit rock-bottom. When it comes to actual game issues, there appears to be no response. We have several threads which were collected together with the intention of using them for feedback to the devs, and the devs are now ignoring them. When we do what they ask us to (tell them what we want a do not want), they seemingly don’t want to know anymore, or it at least feels that way.

It does seem that the community laison team has been drastically cut down and / or is not properly able to do their jobs other than deleting posts and threads which raise criticism*. Whether this is due to their operational abilities being restricted due to a poor down-flow of information, or simply not wishing to wade into the shark soup unarmed, I don’t know. But they are being held back from being able to fully engage with us.

This has left me, and I am sure many others, feeling that we are not valued as customers. I personally feel that the lack of response to some very legitimate issues with the April 15 patch has led to me losing interest and faith in Guild Wars 2. I won’t go into the issues here, they are more than well documented in the appropriate threads.

Basically, from being a player who was eager to get home from work so I could log in, socialise and work on dailys/monthlys/roleplay/making new characters, I now think twice before I doubletap the launch icon.

We are now approaching the 3rd month mensiversary of the April 15 patch, with no feedback or even recognition of our concerns. If it becomes a 4th, I am not sure if I will be around to read whatever feedback does arrive, if it finally does.

*I appreciate and understand that my comments which led to GuzziHero.2467 being suspended were out of order and inappropriate. I apologise unreservedly for those comments, and intend to be far more considerate and reserved in my forum postings from here on.

Scientia.8924:

I’m done with this game and with being ignored by this company.

I agree. I just can’t find anywhere else better to go. Since the trait change I haven’t even bothered doing dailys etc (with the exception of the LS2 episode 1 which I enjoyed).

4 empty character slots on this, my EU account, which will never be filled. Several outfits and armour skin sets which will never be bought. I guess I should thank Anet for breaking my altitis.
