Guild Wars 2

@Rajel, your not in the gw2wvw forums where you can lecture people in rude ways. When you want to be rude and a big troll, go there.

Ontopic: Although I really love the new maps, I just have to admit the new borders made WvW dead. Yesterday we were on SFR map and fought nothing. It was empty.

I wouldn’t want the old maps back, but their should be done something to get maps crowded again.

Swagger.1459:

Bring back the old maps and give them a cosmetic makeover.

Red vs green vs blue megaserver because “server pride” means nothing really. Rewards only matter…

Ascended and legendary runes and sigils only obtained in wvw and eotm.

You’re welcome!

Gawd what you say is the solution.

Hell no.

Its not as crowded on the new maps as I would like to have. But still we’re having great fights and in new sometimes tough spots which make it very exciting.

I still having a blast on the new maps. Hope they will just fix and reinvent some stuff what should be done, but not go back to old.

I tried to fresh install the GW2 64, yes it download and install the game completely. But after shutting it down and start it again, the exe file wants to download the entire game again. Only when I install the GW2 32 I get the question where I want to install the game.

Is it correct it’s been designed this way? First install the 32bit and then the 64bit over it? I would imagine when I download the 64bit it would install the normal way as the 32bit.

Even in the software the 64bit as a programme does not pop up, while it does show up in the 32bit.

Note: When I install the 32bit and copy/paste the 64bit over it it works. I just feel better when software is refreshed with new installs.

I’m using Windows10.

At the moment very please with the 64 bit version. WvW seemed to be more stable and fell more fluent. Did had some small stutterings at some points, but those were very few.
I run graphics in highest setting, so yeah I’m pleased.

6/10. Pve maps is for me a mostly you have to be in party or commander everywhere. WvW maps are amazing, but laggy and need some fixes.
Maguuma hero points take way too long. It’s ok you have to work for it, but I’m not going to do event after event after event all the time to get my stuff. Hell no.
I also kinda miss the heart missions, I don’t want to be forced playing events all over, where mostly you cannot do anything on your own. Some late weekends I couldnt even finish anything because people were not online. So basicly you cannot do anything too.
Maps is too much searching some poi or hp I don’t even see on the normal map. It’s just to overwhelming and chaotic.

Love the revenant class, and the class upgrades are amazing. With beauty in overall it’s just amazing, but gameplay wise it’s holding somewhat back.

Game lags hard, pretty much everywhere and the amount of dc is quite big too. This evening I had 2. Last nights 3 or more.

Please stop with the drama. How many new topics do you want to spend about you people dont like the map.

Anet should delete or merge all these qq topics, its immature.

Setup a gentlemens agreement, no1 is using it.

No.

Go further in progress, not stay behind. The Yes people are just out of their comfort zone, don’t want to adept nor find new strategy. Give them a wide open field with nothing and they might like it.

They should have changed EB too, so people will take their time to learn and play it.

The laser pve event, is imo a not so much pve event. It’s trying to get big scale fights.
But now only 1 server is using it.

All that qq all the time, you people should join a drama club. Even some in my guild, it ruins the fun of wvw more then the maps it self.

Instead of running in for 10 minutes and saying its kitten, at least try to find your way through the map. In the old maps were also pve stuff. The spiderqueen for example, a jumpingpuzzle, etc.

The layout of the map is amazing and fights can be everywhere. As this weekend have shown, the zone blobs are still there.

Only issue for me is the amount of bugs, lag, delays, skill lag and disconnects. Yesterday it was pretty unplayable.

It’s not anet server, it’s your ISP. Contact them.

/sarcasm off

Probably posted, but you never know. WvW DC is insanely high. In one evening I get +5x DC. This happened with HoT, so please don’t blame the ISP.

WvW again unplayable. I get so many disconnects, skill lags, delay and such. Not only in new borderland but EB too.

I just did a 20 minute event on the second map, and after completion i just got a tiny bit of xp on my bar. This is so useless, endless event grinding to get all my skills. Please no.

Maps feel pretty empty already. Where you saw with release 3 or 4 commanders on a map I see mostly none now.

I did like the first 2 maps, but still most if not almost all Hero Points spawns a Champ. Finding some waypoints can be challenging, even more cause the map layout can be chaotic.

For me the first map was insanely awsome and was hoping to get more…2nd map was bit less, and 3rd and 4th map was a total letdown for me. Thinking I need to do more experience there to unlock my stuff, is making me not very happy.

ImLegion.4018:

I think new map is awesome. There are enough spots for scrim and yes we all have to find places again, but I think the majority of players will find their ways in no time.

Play more in the bl and learn the paths and stop complaining.

It’s not about getting to know the map, it’s the trash mechanics that are ruining it. No WP at T3 and free upgrades means people don’t care about defending. My guild shouldn’t have been able to take every single bl keep during primetime without a single fight.
The barricades ( that zergs Knock down in seconds), the lack of WP’s, and not needing supply for upgrades kills peoples incentive for roaming. Not to mention it takes an hour to solo a tower now because they nerfed G catas, +5, and everything is fortified.

All the PvE gimmicks around the keeps ruin any fighting you could have in those areas. Even the stupid dino skyhammer event just helps the biggest group on the map steamroll everything faster.

Well yeah, there are things like you mention. And to add, gliding too (love gliding). I also think there could be less blobbing at certain points.

Some stuff should be fixed or changed, but change back to the old border? Please no.

emendez.3705:

i feel its too big but if they adjust the size and maybe make it more vertical with gliding it has potential but to have a map like that with no gliding just seems wrong !
But i feel for those who want the old BL back or new one entirely will be disappointed I am fairly certain this will be our BL until the next expansion lol

Yes gliding should be in the maps. Pretty much in every map.

Entenkommando.5208:

Close this thread and reopen it in 3-4 weeks. There are no real opinions yet.

Initial opinions are opinions. Alo, they are useful for metric crunchers.

Game is released for less then a week, at least try it.

Yes some things are not working properly, but at least go play it. Perhaps when you play it more you do like it.

In HoT as a total i think there are good and bad things in it. I recon those things will be sorted in upcoming time.

I love this map a lot. Yes there could be some changes in it. Take out pve in middle and some finding players can be a challenge. On the other hand it was released Friday last, players are everywhere and a Halloween event together if not very smart.

I think more players will be on the bl when everyone has found their place again.

I really do not hope the old bl will return soon.

I think new map is awesome. There are enough spots for scrim and yes we all have to find places again, but I think the majority of players will find their ways in no time.

Play more in the bl and learn the paths and stop complaining.

How and where can i craft the Mistward armor?

Think I unlocked every item piece of this armor set. Just don’t know how to do it.

Thanks in advance.

Tonight we WvW raided with 2 Tempest Elementalists, not on warhorn but on staff and it was freaking awsome. Heals were good, and good support skills. I still don’t like the warhorn itself. Don’t like the sounds nor animations. The overcharge skills could be somewhat bigger and wilder, it is an overcharge.

Ele eliteskill is just rubbish..you really need to get with something better.

Revenant was pretty amazing although on some points my Ele still feels stronger.

PVE map looks amazing and creatures were sometimes almost hardcore, like walking in a dungeon which I liked alot. Hope you will not nerf the pve creatures.

I do however am a bit scared, giving us 25% of the map, how fast will I have explored the other 75%, cause this 25% went pretty fast. I don’t know if there will be more maps. But if it is just 1, I will have my thoughts with it.

Haven’t tried Necro and Mesmer, I hardly play them now, so I have to get in to that completely.

Guardian longbow looked good, but didn’t liked it at all with all the traps and stuff. It fell weak. Didn’t even end the tutorial with it….

Gliding was awsome..

But I don’t understand why I can’t join my guild and I can play with my guild as such, nor wvw raids there is not option to join it as such.

I’m not very skilled with stats and traits and such…so it’s hard for me to complaint or compliment on stuff. But think people told enough bout that.

Tested it shortly in PvP on testing grounds…I like it

sword/sword looks cool…But I love sword/axe – hammer. Sword/Axe feels complete. The beta weekend I played Revenant most, it feels so good. Even on a Charr it feels fast enough.

In short I think tempest is alright, but warhorn skills are mostly support based but in combination with dagger/scepter in World vs World useless for me. I mostly picked staff over this and Tempest trait is then not very useful either. Even in pve new map I rather chose staff over scepter/dagger warhorn. Staff feels so much stronger and more supportive.

In pve it was kind of nice, but still don’t like the warhorn sounds..It’s so dull and animation wise it’s not very awsome like the necro, mesmer and revenant.

Also the elite skill is useless, please delete it and come with something good.

The warhorn sounds and animations are not very special compared to necro, revenant and mesmer. And overcharge and storm don’t look very big. Overcharge is just a small bit around you and storms look like small winds.

I don’t think I will use the tempest build.

Charr….ofcourse.. Best race ingame….and any game..

Ok I Did It.2854:

From what I hear the new boarderland seems to be way to big to actually make it across in time to defend anything, it seems to be more designed for PvD so this Golem Event may just be the basework for something bigger,

1 thing is for sure, this event seems to be REALLY popular with the PvD servers, who like to run away from fights, as now they can get in and cap a tower/keep in less than 3 mins,

Some servers may find there rating going up this week and next week be up against servers that will slaughter them without there golems to take objections near instantly.

This really does show how much anet is out of touch with the WvW community, its also why no DEV will come here and give us feedback, but no doubt we will see the usual comment soon " We are reading your feedback, and we will relay it to the team" Id rather they just came out with it and said screw you all we do what we want, you are not important to us.

Its stupid things like this that Anet do, that make me glad I did not buy HoT.

Perhaps we get flying dragon mounts…. Yaaaay

I would hope now they give us same mu next week (and eventually give us the new border for a week to try)

But how I know anet they will not

Event is horrible. Finally we have fsp again, and anet do this. Cya till 24th

Finally we piken has farshiverpeaks to fight…and what does anet do. Bring a golem event in it

Thank you anet for ruining my mu

I see the WvW stresstest will be hold on 9th July, which is awsome. But I also see “This test will be conducted on a special server with limited space and will be by special invitation only”.

I have prepurchased Heart of Thorns where I get access for all beta material. So can I expect I can participate in the stresstest?

Love the Lions Arch, it is so gorgeous, although I have to admit, it has nothing to do with “Lions” and like someone else said. Seaworld is a better name for it

Only thing that bugs me is it doesnt feel very lifely.. Yes there is some npc life in it. npc moving and doing stuff. But for such a big city as this I would expect more life. Some areas feel clean and clear. Get some more npc in there to do their things and stuff.

Love the new looks of LA. Just a small poimt of critism.. It doesn’t feel very alive imo. I do see npc doing stuff, but not capitall city like. The new square is empty.

Send some more npc to LA to do their stuff there.

Other then that its stunning

Thanks for listening…

Pre-purchased it now.

Like basicly is in any post, a new player has a better deal than a vet player. If you can’t see that or happy with it it’s fine. The other vets arent.

I am with the ones who isnt pre purchasing it, but tbf I reckon they do nothing bout this issue. They keep moving forward and with release people will buy it anyway, and with no extra slot you delete the character you hardly play and set it up for your revenant class. Cause you have saved your tomes just for that.

Like a guildie said, you need the expansion to move further, when you don’t buy you basicly quit the game.

At this moment I still dont prebuy and wait for release and see from there.

Points proven wrong on every game and still not giving up.
Its just not true what you all started.

Arantheal.7396:

Veteran here.
I don’t agree with OP.
Stop speaking on my behalf.
Ty.

I don’t agree with you so stop speaking on my behalf ty.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

Not to put a further damper on your thread… but you say LOTRO added 3 classes, yet you somehow you think you can lie and tell us that not every expansion that added a class also added a character slot for that class… which seems odd since we are all capable of using google…

https://lotro-wiki.com/index.php/LOTRO_Store_Mines_of_Moria

oooooops…

think topic starter should have studied some more.

Arkblue.6129:

WoW has 50 character slots, ten per server, raised to eleven with the addition of the monk class. Also, you can create one character per class.

Where do you get your sources?

still, my statement is true, they didn’t added a new slot for the first new class. How many Slots are avaible is irrelevant for this statement. As i could say GW2 allow for 64 Slots.

because it wasn’t needed, since you already had the chance of creating one character per class, and it had also had dual talents and build templates so you could play a single class two ways.

And it is kitten relevant is you only get 5 slots initally. 59 slots are 590 euros in GW2, on WoW you get 50
for free, which means you get the equivalent of what gw2 sells for 450 euros.
Oh, and the possibility of having characters on different servers.

nope, not for free, for 15€ a monath. after 3 years = 540€. WoW is in its 10th year now so this means if you played from the very beginning you payed 1800 (36€ per Characerslot)for your 50 Slots + every expansion if you always buyed when they released.

But with that €15,— you don’t have a cashshop, where you can buy armor skins for € 10,— or buy bankslots for € 10,— or buy finishers and other stuff for a great sum of money. Yes as a GW2 you aren’t forced to use real money, you can use ingame gold.

But for the most casual players it will take long time to get something with ingame gold. When you calculate the stuff which people buy in item shop the costs of a sub for a WoW, is WoW cheaper and where you get more stuff to use.

The expansion after HoT might even cost $100, then it’s the core game + HoT + the new expansion. Where existing players pay double for core and HoT and we get same discussion again.

Where enough people are happy to buy this expansion how it is, they easily can raise prices for new product in the future. You buy it anyways.

briggah.7910:

So many posts saying us veterans didn’t get anything and new players are getting the core game for free really makes me think how many of you are actually veteran players.

Us veteran players have gotten to experience all the open world events since release with new patches every few weeks. These new players won’t get all that the same way we did even if they get a “bonus” free version with buying HoT.

They won’t hear while afk’ing at the bank in LA the asura and char that say “Your face is funny”, “No, your face is funny. It’s like a little raisin”

They didn’t experience the festival events and seasoned events like we did.

They won’t see LA getting destroyed and how we fought over it while scarlet attacked it.

They won’t get to fight marionette like we did cause that is all gone and done.

They probably won’t see SAB seeing as people still riot about it to this day.

They didn’t get to farm aetherblades in zones and have tons of champs spawning.

Those are just a few examples but so many other open world events that these new players will never experience even if they do get a “Bonus” free version of the core game.

Stop being greedy and thinking its all about new players when new players will have missed out on a ton of content that is no longer available. Veterans have the memories of all that has happened since launch of this game to this date while new players will never experience those events.

We veteran players already have paid 50 bucks for the game, and as a good appreciation from Anet we get a BIG KITTEN YOU and we only reward new players to play our game. Even with the ingame promotion they promote the core game as a bonus, which you cannot use as a 2nd, 3rd or 4th account. The least A-net could do for their core gamers to let them preorder the game and give a small token of grattitude and give a free characterslot (+ bankslot).

They even have promoted their game several times with a 75% off reduction and now you get the game for free. People expected to buy the core game in advance of the hot expansion and now still have to pay another full price for it. This HoT expansion is a total rip of.

And can i use the bonus core game as a 3rd account and setting the expansion on my first?

Regina Buenaobra.6193:

To clarify: $50 is the price of the expansion. We included the core game as a free bonus to make it easier for new players to get into it.

So you give bonus items to new players, but you give your middle finger to your core players and they get nothing. GG

For me it’s having fun with my guild killing other guilds or friend guilds on other servers and in overall having good fights. I don’t care much bout ppt while it is an important objective in wvw.

Come on AR or BB tonight, think Piken would be more than happy to slay some a-netters.

Looking forward fighting you xx

Lol Bull is at 30 players. Ofcourse you are, and i do believe in the fairy godmother. Why I dislike BB, for the fact they handholded with AR. They need to fight with at least 2 but better with 3 guilds or a zone blob to kill 1 guild and still many deaths on their side. You guys should go play Wildstar.

Yesterday i have had at least 2 dc’s again and some huge delays.
