Guild Wars 2

Only thing I will give RW money to “them” for is only if it’s a GW2 full expansion or another expansion/extension to GW1 or an ArcheAge Founders Pack whichever comes first.

Ode.9126:

GW1 with GW2 graphics = Done, best game ever made.

Couldn’t have said it better. +1

I have the money ready for either a GW2 expansion or an ArcheAge Founders Pack since the AA BETAS have been quite good and promising.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

I’m not sure it would be possible, or at least without much difficulty, to bring your CO mentality into an MMO game.

The mechanics of the two are very different. Besides, once Heroes were introduced, it became basically a single-player game for many. I don’t think the Devs’ vision for the game is to be like GW1, especially since they expressly stated it wasn’t.

IMO, GW2 is more geared towards single player being your character can now do EVERYTHING(i.e. heal, cc, dps etc…) without even remotely needing any help there is no longer the need for designated roles(i.e. 1 healer, 1 cc, 1 dps etc…) creating teamwork, try doing ANYTHING in GW1 with your character alone(depending on class) and see how fast you die. Hero/henchy-all hero is more co-op play.

I as well have a mobility/dexterity issue due to a dissability and have found the easiest/best class for me but hated by most is the Ranger in almost any RPG for those with a mobility/dexterity issues.

EDIT:And as jonatanen.1568 mentioned a gaming mouse also helps.

TheMaskedGamer.5708:

Thought this would be a cool idea to add in the game so that we can understand the enemies we encounter in the game, either gameplay wise, or lore wise.

Very cool idea. +1

If there was green people would be asking why no Pink. Where does it end?

Why not post this in the thread already dedicated to SAB located here on this same page, can’t miss it;
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Super-Adventure-Box-merged-1/page/11#post4312136

Only 1 character, a Sylvari Ranger.

Why wasn’t this put here along with the rest? https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Super-Adventure-Box-merged-1/page/10#post4312110

TheMaskedGamer.5708:

-Facepalm- They have never said that the SAB is going away. Its just not going to happen for a while. Give them time and we’ll be back to having 64-bit fun as soon as they are ready. Just be patient people.

Here, fixed the above for you; “Give them time and everyone that wants it will be back to having 8bit fun as soon as they are ready”.

The should merge ALL repetative threads, or, delete and infract repetative threads, especially those that appear on the same page as another thread of the same ilk.

+1 Vayne. Although, I do have to say, their silence has spoken volumes and will be extremely hard to retract.

AUTO-DECLINE by default if implemented.

Just responding to the threads title “Dueling Option – Forgotten?” I would have to say that from the majority of the respondents it seems that open world dueling is either unwanted or don’t care as long as it is implemented with auto-decline as the default and must be toggled on before ever seeing duel requests.

I guess I missed out. Why wouldn’t they bring it back?

Be prepared for HORRID 8bit graphics remeniscent of regular Mario Brothers.

horrid? the door is that way, sir.
it was meant to look the way it did, and it worked perfectly. the setting could not have been made any better, honestly, and if you think it could have been, its likely because you are unsure of what it was intended to resemble, which in that case, it was intended to resemble 8bit pixelated awesomeness

If it was so awesome, why are you playing GW2 and not a 1970s 8bit game like Mario Brothers or Donkey Kong.

TheMaskedGamer.5708:

That doesn’t make any sense. Keep Vistas as Vistas. What they should change are the Points of Interest. Instead of just discovering them for exp only, you find it, get its name, Icon appears on top of your map, you press it and you get a page worth of information and historical references of the place in question and a cool picture.

EXCELLENT suggestion. +1

leebe.2093:

failing an event is not an exploit

Failing an event because of being unprepared or poor play isn’t an exploit, BUT, purposely failing an event to reap the benefits(drops) OVER AND OVER AND OVER IS.

Ignavia.7420:

The rumors were true. \o/

Command the Rainbow —> Different colors for tags.

Priced at 300g PER COLOR, what a ripp-off.

I need my Hellfire guarache and still 8000AP away. SHEESH

There should be other methods of acquiring things such as this for those who don’t care to go into these areas, but, that’s what this game does is try to FORCE you into areas of the game you don’t like. So much for playing your way.

Vol.7601:

Doesn’t take long to get 3g and 20 SP

Nobody should have to farm 20 SP just to unlock a kitten trait. This new trait system is terrible.

The whole new trait system, period, is terrible. I’m glad I already had what I needed in traits when this horrible new trait system was dreamed up. +1

I say, SHUT DOWN THE FORUMS GW1 did just fine without forums, GW2 can as well, I mean after all “they” do what “they” want irregardless of what the community asks for 98% of the time anyway.

hannah mee.7925:

This game’s directed toward casuals and the best way to make the most of it is to play it casually.

IMO, any game that has TIME GATED play requireing you to log in each and every day to obtain IS NOT a game for casuals.

Well, GW1 had the same thing. I think it is based on that. All Ranger armor was based on trench coats.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Ranger_armor

There was far more variation in GW1 for rangers. In prophecies it was pretty equal for males with 3 out of 11 sets being trench coat-like, 4 being more like tights with no buttcape and nothing covering the front, and the other 4 sets having the infamous buttcape. With the expansions, trench coats actually became less and less common. Lets not forget obsidian armor – the “endgame” prestige armor – that has no coat or buttcape to speak of, and it looks awesome! I really wish there was something like that for males in GW2.

I am also a ranger in GW1 and don’t have a trench/pirate/skirt as a medium armor male, there are so many more choices of armor in GW1 than in GW2. I find the GW1 armors for all classes far superior to that of GW2.

The pirate coats, as I politely call them have been mentioned before but that was about a year and a half ago when a change was begged for but never was made.

That sums up pretty much my thoughts on the whole debacle that is getting a precursor.

I gave up ever hoping I’d get one either as a drop or from the forge. My account is “cursed”….I bought the four precursors I had.

That article reeks of bias.

The only bias I read into that article is the FACT that “gaining items through actual gameplay feels stingy, dull, or even downright manipulative”, myself and MANY OTHERS feel the same way, there is ZERO reward for effort put forth in this game(unless you think the 98% useless garbage we get now a reward).

Behellagh.1468:

Honestly, the bridges should all be repaired at least as will as most of the stone paths. Also the most devastated wooden structures should have been torn down while repairs started on at least on the TP “ship”. Evon’s got the money.

I agree that the roads/bridges should have been done by now for the sake of transportation at the least.

Spirited Was Eceni.3869:

Anet, i’ve played this game since the three day pre-release but have never had a precursor weapon. Look at my activity and see i’m one of your major supporters but my only reward is regular disconnections.

I see lots of rarely online players getting precursor weapons all the time (some have had two in one day) but still nothing for me.

Really becoming disillusioned with the whole process, seems you reward inactivity and ignore your most loyal and financial supporters.

Give me something, anything to show my time here is worth more than nothing to you.

It’s sad that rumour has it that precursors only drop for MF junkies that have hundreds of gold to buy an inventory full of rares to throw in the MF in the hopes that the RNG gods smile upon them as it did one time for me after 2+yrs in this highly unrewarding game.

60 on the 27th of this month.

Asgaeroth.6427:

You can make a good instrument macro in Razer Synapse for your Black Widow. Is Anet going to start banning everyone who games on Razer hardware so someone can’t play their instrument they paid good money for as they wish?

There is a “Steel Series” GW2 macro keyboard that is out there with the GW2 logo and all.

And also you must play on a U.S. server from overseas since you bought the NA client.

Paul.4081:

They’ve reduced the drop rates (multiple times, removed dyes altogether) and have added grind you’ll be happy to know.

Best way to get an answer is watch the manifesto video and imagine the opposite of everything they say.

Watching this video makes one wonder how a company can stray so far away from the vision of/for GW2.

LS2 is leading us to Mordremoth.

We all can agree I am 60 in 32 days and Vayne is a WHIPPERSNAPPER!

tolunart.2095:

Ashen.2907:

An interesting rant against someone who merely stated what should be standard behavior . Pay for a product if you feel it is worth the cost and that your are being treated respectfully by the provider.

Yeah that is some seriously outrageous stuff right there.

You forgot the part where Anet throws in piles of free stuff and the disgruntled customer tells them it’s not good enough.

Piles of free, MOSTLY, barely to totally unusable garbaage.

I think we should probably all agree on the fact that there isn’t anything we would all agree on.

I disagree with this post, because I actually think that there are things we would agree on.

Such as the lack of penguins and ducks in this game.

Note the word “all”.

I did notice that word. But it is a proven fact that everyone loves penguins and ducks.

and pie

I like pie, the penguins and ducks not so-much unless it’s the duck on a plate.

So duck pie is good, and I bet you watched at least one pengu as a small child and thought it was ok.

We are finally all* in agreement! Yay us.

(* all may not include everyone who is not included in the all bit I just wrote)

Mmmm, duck pot pie. I wonder if Penguin tastes like chicken?

Inter-game trading is not allowed(even if they are from same company) and IS BANNABLE.

I’m waiting on a workover akin to what “they” did to Tequatl.

+1. -LOL

It’s 24 hours after YOU LAST DID IT that you can tag the JP chest.

Tequatl is VERY DOABLE and is somewhat worth the effort for the rewards. In the past 30 days it has failed for the instance I get into about 8 or 9 times, I also show up 1 and a half to 2 hours early and wait/farm the area until it’s time.

There was a time all you could have were 3 heroes and then add 4 henchmen, PERIOD.

And the game changed. the thing is, Just because Vayne knows How the game was at a particular point, and refers to that time, but doesn’t seem to recognize that later on there were more mercs added. It Kind of seems as if he is not fully cognizant of the game as it is now. I can say " I know How the game is today…I remember when all you could have was 3 heroes and 4 henchmen"

That doesn’t demonstrate any current or recent knowledge, it does show knowledge of the game , at the time when his information was current.

But it also shows that he seems to have a tendency to spin, and temporize, and back-peddle, and explain..when caught on a point where he shows ignorance, he says " well, I wasn’t REALLY ignorant., I just chose to NOT discuss what you are talking about."

Does Not quite show knowledge, although it DOES seem to show a tendency to cover up what might be ignorance.

Or maybe he Just updates his knowledge from what he reads others post?

I’m sorry this wasn’t a small point in time. It was most of the game’s life. Put it this way. Prophecies was released. During the time of it’s release there were no heroes at all. They didn’t exist. You could only have henchmen. Henchmen couldn’t go into the Fissure of Woe or the Underworld.

A year later, Factions was released. Factions itself had no heroes. Again you could only take henchmen who now couldn’t go into FoW the Underworld, The Deep and Urgoz’s Warren. You had to have a group of players.

Six months later Nightfall came out, and finally heroes were introduced. That means for the first 1.5 years the game existed there were no heroes at all, and only now could you bring three heroes with you.

Now follow this logic. The patch that allowed an all hero party to be used came out on March 3, 2011. 1.5 years later Guild Wars 2 came out.

Guild Wars 2 came out roughly 7 years after Guild Wars 1. For 5.5 of those years you could only have 3 heroes. Are you really suggesting I should have waited 5.5 years to do the Underworld? That I should have predicted that we’d get 7 heroes at some point?

The change was made 1.5 years before Guild Wars 2 came out, because the population of Guild Wars 1 had dropped off. Places like Spamadan went from five or six zones to two or three zones. There were less people playing. It was harder to find groups.

That’s why they added the island in the mists as an outpost for people and made 7 hero parties. They were preparing for a Guild Wars 2 future.

Funny you mention Spamadan, that’s where I’m at right now selling a few things and at this time there are 2 American/English districts along with the EU/Asian/Inter. districts.

So, I assume you still play GW? I still do, best game made, better than GW2 anyway, in so many ways IMO.
