This is just another example of players being FORCED to play the game the way the game maker wants you to play and NOT the way the players want to play.

It’s funny that this tirade about mounts(only about the 20th thread started with the same negative responses) hasn’t been merged with all those yet. No to mounts, use the broom from gemstore if you want to ride something.

I don’t think he was implying that was the ONLY reason to not support this “feature”, just that it IS an issue that many players (note MANY more than would want to DUEL) would find endlessly annoying.
BTW, I would FULLY support your petition to ban instruments….(THAT is a worthy cause if I ever “heard” one….)
The bottom line on this issue is that you need to prove to ANet that there are enough players that want this (in the game….not on the this forum) for them to consider it feasible to assign resources to. I don’t think that is going to happen (and for the reasons I stated….players that would want this are already killing other players in WvW and PvP).
so you’d like to take instruments from those people who only use them in settings where others want to hear them and never harassed anyone with them? again, it’s a question of how it’s used – the feature itself is not the problem, it only shows the symptom of people liking to grief without anyone to stop them. the same holds true for dueling. if those who harass others would be dealt with, you wouldn’t get spammed dueling requests or the same high-pitched note at.
I don’t have to prove anything, it’s up to ANet to decide if a feature that gets multiple threads each week (as far as I can tell mostly from different posters) could be a good addition to the game. if you want to prove me wrong (even though I never said a majority wants this feature, but maybe you’d feel better thinking so, since you already implied it), start a strawpoll and send people in game and from the forums to it. after a few hundred thousand votes it should give a good image of how many people really want a feature like that.
if you just like anecdotal evidence like everybody else here thinks is enough if it fits their opinion: in a wvw centric guild I was once in, just about every active player wanted a dueling feature (1v1 up to 5v5s in their pve armor/builds, and not pvp). this is about as statistically relevant as your claim the majority doesn’t want it.
Long story cut short is the FACT, 1v1 combat IS PvP so keep it seperate from PvE, plain and simple to understand, even my pre-teen grandkids know and realizes this.
and your answer to costume brawl? doesn’t count as pvp ? it’s exactly the same, a combat interaction between players (not environment), each one has an amount of hitpoints and there’s even a score and a floating crown for the winner, while the other one gets knocked out.
You are correct and IMO it as well has NO PLACE OR REASON to be included in open world PvE(player vs environment not PvP(player vs player) see the underlined differences, they should have their own place/arena for such things.

How do you get a headache from looking at a big head? lol, just wait a day if it bothers you that much. Kind of ruins the spirit of the holiday if people can just opt out of a prank.
but anyways, you could try setting your computer’s date forward to april 2nd. Or back to March whatever. It seems to be client side.
I THINK some people have a type of Coulrophobia(for the lack of a name for it).
Coulrophobia is a fear of clowns and mimes, and other individuals whose identity and intentions are obscured by things like makeup. What does that have to do with bobbleheads?
You said it right here(out of context), “and other individuals whose identity and intentions are obscured by things like makeup.”. In a sense the bobbleheads are an obscured representation of its true self. Go figure.
Give it a rest. Everyone knows you’re just being a Fanboi.
And that aside. There are people like myself that are getting headaches from it, be cause there is too much motion going on from what you are normally used to in the game. And my eyes are trying to process every little new motion, and it’s causing a massive headache.
ACTUALLY, Im FAR FROM A GW2 FANBOI, just check my posting history, I may be one of the most critical people on these forums AGAINST GW2, although, on occasion they put things in that tickles or intrigues me. I’m sorry it gives you a headache , but, it’s not like it’s permanent, I myself would get sick of it if it were, but, it’s only for 1 day, GEEZ.
That’s not what coulrophobia is, sorry man. Bobbleheads scaring people is closer to automatonophobia.
Also, could you stop yelling in caps?
I think the bobbleheads are great, and I’m very sorry it’s badly affecting some people. And I’m especially sorry that while I’m playing right now, I’m beginning to develop a migraine from straining my eyes (I’m legally blind in one eye..) trying to see enemy animations around my enormous noggin, and it’s starting to make me nauseous. It makes me sad because I really enjoy the effect and find it funny. Part of me hopes the migraine is coincidental, but I know it isn’t.
I love the bobbleheads, but they’re messing with me. I’ll probably have to play in very short amounts of time and space it out to avoid it bothering me too much.
Look up the use of capitalizations within sentences. When only certain things are capitalized it is a sign of EMPHASIS to that/those certain word/words, it’s called LITERACY, yelling is the use of caps in the ENTIRE DIALOG.

Until verification of who deleted the guild, that doesn’t sound right to just delete a guild organization without giving any warnings and giving any options to correct any faults necessary. Anyone else feel the same?

Sooooooooooo, this means that the makers of this game are enablers to RNG addiction, lining their pockets while we really are getting little or nothing at all?

If you want to win stop looking at Gw2 like a game and look at is as a Wallstreet simulator, because that is what it is. Anything of real value in Gw2 comes from the TP and you barely get Skritt from actually playing the game.
And this is the main reason I dislike playing this game nowadays. Diablo 3 tried to use the auction house as the main source for obtaining armor/weapons and it failed miserably. People hated it.
Change this, and Guild Wars 2 will be better.
I say NERF THE TP.

Why would someone whine when they’re getting screwed by RNG? OK does that even make sense in your head?
As for entitlement, we all paid money for this game, and for some of us, it’s broken.
Explain to me how a random number generator is broken? Are you a developer? Do you know how they work? Most use a time stamp seed and pass that into a numerical formula, the result is then parsed against the loot table values. Do you have any idea how hard it would be to “flag” accounts that should or shouldn’t get a boost to the drop engine?
Also, when you bought the game, did someone promise you a legendary or precursor as I didn’t see that in the EULA I accepted when installing the game. To that end, how can you expect that you are going to get one or claim the engine is broken.
Read my last point, no one owes you anything when you are dealing with RNG. It would be like arguing that because you spent $500US in a slot machine the casino owes you a mega prize. Good luck with that.
Some time back it was announced here by the dev team that RNG WAS broken and would/was (be)fixed, BUT for many this doesn’t appear to be (true)the case.

Well the good news is that I suspect the precursor problem will be fixed soon. It was stated that it was originally intended to be part of the April 15 feature pack but was delayed because of an overhaul to the rewards system. So I don’t think its unreasonable to assume that it will be implemented in the near-ish future.
What rewards system there is no reward for playing GW2.

Don’t talk to me about giants lol. I’ve got all slayer achievement except that one. I’ve been playing since BWE1 and i’ve only killed maybe 20! I don’t somehow think i’ll get this achievement and it kinda bugs me a bit since the only thing not done on that panel.
Hopefully, when we get some new maps, we’ll get one that has nothing but giants and it will count toward this achievement. Well, I can dream can’t I?
Giants are all I need as well and have 37. {:-þ

There ARE people that have more money than sense(I call them poor little rich kids) that plays this game and are more than willing and able to drop a butt load of money playing this game(you know the saying “a fool and his money are soon parted”).
Blackgate Megaserver – [LaZy] Imperium of LaZy Nation
Mud Bone – Sylvari Ranger
The giant slayer achievement is in need of some serious modification. Expecting players to kill 1000 giants, when there are only three individual creatures in the entire game that count, is a travesty. The only 3 that count are the giant that spawns in an event in Nageling, the one that spawns in a cave on the east side of Harathi Hinterlands during an event, and Kudu’s monster that only spawns at the end of CoE story mode.
Do you really expect your player base to do CoE story mode 1000 times just for that one boss, or to stand around in Nageling for hours on end for the event to start and do that event 1000 times, or in that cave in Harathi Hinterlands 1000 times? Are you nuts?
I am hereby calling for the immediate reduction of the required amount of giants that need to be killed for that achievement from 1000 to no more than 100. All the other creatures in the game can found found in various groups throughout the world with multiple numbers to fight at a time, so a requirement of 1000 kills is not so bad. These giants, however, are so scarce and in situations that most players don’t stay in for long that it’s ridiculous. The undead risen giants don’t even count!
Do the right thing, ArenaNet. Reduce the required amount for the giant slayer achievement or give us hordes of giants to fight, and make the risen undead giants count while you’re at it.
There is a 4th giant in Brisban Wildlands, there is an event called “Broken Golem“ and is a pain to solo kill, bringing a friend to help will cause 2 giants to spawn, I’ve read that 9 people will spawn 4 Giants and some say that with 20+ you get 5 Giants spawning, there is even a giant slayer guild on Blackgate that helps people get this by doing the “Broken Golem” event over and over by guesting to other servers.

I’d like to find the THIEF that stole all my descendants armors, weapons, mini-pets and tapestries that were displayed there, I was hoping/wishing that all these things would still be there on display for anyone to check out and admire. I think I know the answer though, that being, if everyone saw what GW1 players EARNED just for playing the game, not some LAME COSMETIC SKINS that you MUST BUY(whether it be with IGM, gems or RNG BLC’s) new players that never saw what GW1 offered in the way of armors/weapons would say WTF why isn’t stuff like that in GW2 and quit. -LOL

I’ve been getting them frequently lately. It’s all the same site as they all say at the end, Hace a good day, even though they are each from a different account. I was wondering if they are targeting people through the Leaderboard. They can see not only the high AP people but can also see the accounts which log on frequently and can use this information to pick out the active accounts.
It’s NOT from the leaderboards as I don’t even know what the leaderboards are(LOL), so, I must be #0 on them(again LOL).
Well, it’s wouldn’t be if you know where the leaderboard is, but if they do.
It is entirely possible to log in for 1 minute in the next year and make more money than someone that played 1000 hours. That’s the true nature of RNG.
I remember in GW1 they had those books which tracked the dungeons you completed in both easy and hard mode. Once you filled them up you got a really nice reward for it. It took me a hell of a lot of time to complete them but once I did I was so owed by the feeling of accomplishment that I had that I didn’t want to turn the books in for the reward. I didn’t even care for the reward! I wish the precursor hunt had something similar. I really miss that kind of feeling.
Okay I’m going to have to call this one. Maybe you’re not remembering what the reward was in Guild Wars 1 for those books, but it wasnt’ a legendary reward. Mostly people farmed them to get points on specific title tracks.
Your reward for a completed standard dungeon book was 40.000 reputation points (about the equivalent of 4 EotN Vanquishes), 80,000 experience points (to get you skill points that I already had hundreds of) and 8k, which you could make as easily in the same time farming feathers. This isn’t a great rewards. The reward for hard mode was about 30% more.
You didn’t get a great weapon skin, or a precusor, or a piece of armor. You got points toward a title track that, had you spent the same time doing other stuff, you’d have gotten points to (possibly to different title tracks).
I agree that getting precusors in this game straight out sucks, but there’s no way you can compare this to the book rewards in Guild Wars 1, which were relatively pedestrian, even if you liked them.
I beg to differ, I never farmed for those books and I acqured SEVERAL very kewl weapons(300 X’s better than what’s offered in GW2) as a REWARD for just playing the game, such as, Drago’s Flatbow, Urgoz’s Longbow, Destroyer Hornbow of Fortitude(event to obtain item to have made), Deldrimor Longbow(another event to obtain item to have made), FDS, Morgriff’s Staff , just to name a few and all of them I customized to my character(same as GW2 account bound items) so I wouldn’t be tempted to sell them because at the time most of those were worth top dollar to players. Show me ONE ITEM in GW2 that can even come close to the kewlness of those.

juste finished ACp1 and i’m here to express my frustation… Well, the thing is, I did p1 with pugs … fine.
We arrive in the scepter part, I solo this part, so all the 4 others people stand here and do … nothing… Fine again BUT , one man, a war, drop dusk from the chest (me, I got 3 blue like always ….) !!
At this moment I’m like WTF man, what’s your mf ? He said “120%” … And he had like 3300 ap …
I know rng is rng but I can’t accept the fact that a player who just stand here and do nothing when I’m doing the stuff got dusk …
It’s so frustrating since I’m, for about 2 weeks now, saving to buy dusk (since I know I don’t have a lucky account) and POUF, in front of me a random guy drop it … Currently, I’m not feeling rewarded for playing this game …
ps: sorry guys for my bad english, it’s not my first language…
There is ZERO REWARD for playing this game, welcome to GW2 where the only ones getting anything are the makers.

GW2 is a superior game to almost every MMO in the western industry atm and Wildstar/ESO are both average ones. People would like WS/ESO for a fresh experience however neither bring anything major to the industry.
Are you being sarcastic ? What did GW2 bring to the mmo industry ? Zergs pvp zerg pve and more zergs, zerker meta, lame storyline(traherne), repetitive combat, boring dungeons ( stacking,etc), hearts are not fun, unbalanced classes. Shall i go on ?
It brought a truly cooperative rather than a competitive PvE experience that no other game has so far matched. Might not be your thing but it’s definitely my thing.
yeah I cant imagine going back to a game where you compete for kills, resource nodes or to loot the chest first (looking at you ESO for that last one), not saying GW2 invented these, but they sure add to the overall enjoyment of the PvE experience
They respawn shortly after looted by one for the other, patience grasshopper, but I prefer the GW2 loot system(even if it is all garbage).
