How do you get access to all of the weapon skins that were unlocked? I unlocked everything I have and I can only access a few of them. Like on my Ranger, I can only get Longbow skins. On my Guardian, only Staffs.
I aint even gotten beyond the wardrobe and equiptment screen fiasco and I’m already considering un-installing this joke! I equipted form the wardrobe to Ele and the Sorcerer’s coat, legs, and shoes that she had on disappeared, and those cost a helluva lot of gold! When using wardrobe items that are not in my bankbox I have to transmute everytime I want to equipt with them. On the char stat screen there’s nothing that shows what your attack power is.
I was so looking forward to this patch and now I’m disgusted. Did you folks at Anet give any thought to this stuff, or test it? I guess we, the customers, are the testers, as usual!
When I changed outfits on my Elemetalist I hadn’t saved the Sorcerer’s coat, pants, and boots that my char was wearing. I didn’t realize that they would just disappear like they did. A kitten expensive lesson!
You guys just didn’t understand. It was obvious you’d have to pay each time, just like the current system. No reason for anet to give up such a huge source of their income.
I transmuted a headgear item on my char, un-equipted it to do the same to another, and when I tried to re-equipt the first item I was prompted to use a transmute charge! For a item that had already been transmuted! WTF is this?
If we have to transmute everytime we change gear this wardrobe system is already a epic FAIL!!!
Orr died when Anet killed the Pent/Shelt karma train. There was always lots of players in Orr then and when someone asked for help on events lots of folks would help them, myself included.
So there’s a big reason why Orr is almost deserted.
Has anyone else been experiencing getting stuck in combat mode for quite a while after the fight has ended? It’s happened frequently with me since the last patch. No aggressive mobs anywhere near after I’ve killed the one(s) I was fighting yet I’m stuck in combat mode, once for almost 4 minutes. (I timed it) Plus I’ve moved a very long way from where the fight was, at the ridiculous slow plod that you’re reduced to when in combat mode, before it stopped.
No way! I’m solidly against mounts. Furthermore, if Anet was to create mounts we’d then be hearing folks squealing for flying mounts. And flying mounts is one of the things that most ruined WoW.
Is Anet going to deliver on some of this new stuff on the 8th so that we can have something to chew on or are they going to keep us hanging until the 15th while more and more players leave GW2 for TESO? I’ve already seen a noticeable drop in players on Blackgate.
With the introduction of the Wardrobe system, will the townclothes that have been removed from the gemstore become available again? I didn’t buy any of them because it seemed pointless to buy something that one could not use in combat. I’d buy ’em now if they became available again.
Last month it seems that the Norn gain the ability to have a HUGE waxed moustache as part of their character creation. Which is awesome.
However, the Male Humans are still left with very few option for facial hair. Its either “chin fluff” of “full Moses”. Anybody else yearning for more bigger and better human facial hair beard/moustache combos?
I get the impression that Anet gave little thought and/or effort to Human face and hairstyles, like it was a hurried up afterthought. After seeing the wide variety of faces and hairstyles that the other races have that’s the only conclusion that I can come to.
This being my first f2p/b2p mmo that I actually stuck with and held out to see it grow has definitely put the nail in the coffin for me w/these kind of pay models (in general, some quick cash grabs as submodel).
Focused towards big release sales, and lousy followup. They retain a small niche crowd out of the mmo community that are anti-sub model and believe free is best, and the mmo player who enjoys pulling out his/her credit card spending hundreds a month on digital items.
These blacklist mmo companies are spread far too thin to focus on any one mmo for proper content, bugs, & balance needed for growth.
SOE
DCUO
PlanetSide2
Dragon’s Prophet
EverQuest Next
and many more in the block package not worth the mention
EA
SWTOR
Secret World Warhammer
and the countless other titles “supported”
Trion
Rift
Defiance
Archeage
Perfect World
NeverWinter
Jade Dynasty
Forsaken World
Star Trek online
Champions Online
and many more not worth the mention
Even if you enjoy the current standard of these companies, you can also agree they’re spread far too thin w/way too much development focused towards the digital store.
As a player since BWE2 this “break” shows me what? Dungeon master, fotm farm til 44, six level 80’s, WvW, all crafting to 400, crafting 500×3, Legendary….what else is their to do? This is what clearly stands out of no new substantial content. Now if we were 6months into the game I would say you rushed through take a break, 1year 7months reasonable to be where Im at.
Hell, anytime I see a game with the “Electronic Arts” logo on it, it has the same effect on me as showing a crucifix to a Vampire. I’ll NEVER waste my time with ANYTHING that EA is in any way associated with.
The only thing dangerous to GW2 right now is ESO. Place is going to be a ghost town in less than a month.
I doubt that it would last long. Even if ESO draws away folks, most will very likely come back. A friend who beta tested ESO says that ESO aint all that great and that the hype is over-rated. (gee, whatta surprise!) He said he aint going to waste time and money on it and I’m in agreement with him.
No mounts please! It’ll end up just like WoW. Players will have mounts and then start sniveling for flying mounts, and that to a large degree ruined WoW.
Players will also gravitate towards these kinds of simple mindless loot opportunities when they are in the game.
So what’s wrong with that?
Unfortunately, this leaves many other engaging group events in the world untouched and other zones desolate.
No, that’s because there’s nothing to do in most zones. Cursed Shore is dead mostly because Anet made pent/shelt undoable and nerfed Plinx.
While I applaud the players resilience for staying with such a dull manifestation of the game, I feel Anet should take an approach akin to paternalism* and remove the Queens zerg, in order to force change and diversity.
And what “change and diversity” would that be? Maybe to try out another MMO that dos’nt punish it’s playerbase for making in game gold?
This may upset some players, who feel they should be able to play how they want to play, but sometimes the world demands an authority or organization to guide us gently towards perfection.
We should be able to play the game as we wish as long as it’s within the game mechanics, that’s the whole idea of a MMO! And what’s “perfection”? Hanging around in Lion’s Arch styling in one’s town clothes?
Who is with me?
LOL!
**"Paternalism" comes from the Latin pater, meaning to act like a father, or to treat another person like a child, limiting some person or group’s liberty or autonomy for their own good.
Any MMO that limits what players can do “for their own good” aint going to have many players for long.
I think that would make for some interesting and fun gameplay as well, like back in Shadowbane where AoE’s where used with caution.
Oh, how I remember that! You had to use some judgement in using AoEs in SB instead of spamming them like in GW2. Hell, I think I got killed almost as often by “friendly” AoEs in big battles as from enemy actions.
This would certainly make the WvW in GW2 more interesting and require more skill and judgement.
There’s no valid reason to increase the level cap. The present cap of 80 has already driven people who might have played GW2 away, 3 of my nephews for example, and I almost decided not to for that reason. So upping the level cap is not going to draw more new players and will certainly drive off many present players.
Game changes should be geared to entice people to play the game and continue to play the game, not drive them off. And a new leveling and gear grind will not draw and keep players.
[q]gotta get people to play the game somehow, right?[/q]
One does that by creating/maintaining a quality product. No amount of hype will change the product being hyped, it’s still as good/bad as it was when created.
ANet is in this to make money, giving people good rewards is counter-intuitive to making money. They want people to use the gem store.
There it is! And that, IMHO, is why many of the bugs in this game hav’nt been fixed and why things like particle effect scaling hav’nt been done. Anet’s more concerned about creating junk for gems in the gemstore instead of fixing what needs fixing and improving gameplay.
And… IMHO, they’ll continue to nerf in game ways to make gold so that we’ll be forced to buy gold with gems. By the time that happens I’ll be long gone.
By 75%???? kitten no wonder i wasn’t doing ne damage when i spvp. kitten they tell us they want to diversify builds. Atm full zerker warrior is usesless in spvp.
With the way Anet keeps nerfing us, we’ll be useless in everything by this time next year.
Hello all, I looked into this because we intended to have a release note for the changes to the champion loot.
We did modify the gold and bloodstone dust coming from champion bags, and a release note will be added shortly.
What I can tell you is that we made a mistake, this one fell through the cracks and I’m truly sorry. I’ve promised before that we won’t make stealthy economic changes without notes and I mean to stick to that promise.
Thank you all for pointing out the error, we will be more vigilant in the future.
Good luck in your adventures.
Can we quote you on this after the next stealthy economic change?
Hey devs, how about some level 80 Medium Armor chestpieces that aint coats that reach down to the ankles and headgear that’s not masks?
The “Invader’s Rawhide Mask” for example is actually a good looking hat with a ridiculous mask hanging down in front. How about eliminating the weak looking mask and calling it “Invader’s Rawhide Hat” instead? And make some of these Medium armor chestpieces as a SHIRT and not a bulky ankle slapping coat. ok?
Believe it or not, not all of the Medium Armor wearers are wannabe Ninjas craving masks or Sam Spades who like trench coats.
I guess I wont be completing this since in order to get it, I must complete 13 achievements and there’s only 11 listed. And one has to complete “A Sweet Friend” to access 3 of them.
Can someone enlighten me about how one gets this for Tassi? Maybe I’m overlooking something but I don’t have a clue about how to do this. And the search feature on this site is no use, it shows no results when you search “Tassi”.
Howdy! Has anyone switched from using Ruby Orbs to the Superior rune of the Traveler? I’m curious as to whether this would be a improvement or not. The runes are far from cheap so casual experimenting aint a option. Thank you!
This Queensdale farming probably wouldn’t be happening if Anet hadn’t made Pent-Shelt in Cursed Shores impossible to do. This is just a replacement for that.
I agree! Especially with ascended items. I don’t understand why ascended items aint account bound anyway. Didn’t ALL of your chars earn laurels? Since all of your chars earned laurels then anything purchased with those laurels should be usable by ALL chars on the account.
No joke! While scrolling through the faces when I created my first char, a Warrior, last October I did a double check to see if I was in the MALE char creation because most of the faces look like a chick.
I also looked at the female faces and all but one of them look like elementary school kids. WTF?
