Guild Wars 2

What i dont understand is why are they not trying to improve the personal story and instead they are giving us low quality lore through LS…

4 is the best!!

Yeah i mean i like every aspect of the game but the personal story it seems that is a very rushed job honestly…

Yeah im aware of that, im saying that i find these specific quests very boring because the way that the story is delivered and the cut-scenes are not so good…

Im not even talking about dungeons, i mean the story, the story quests, the green star on the right top corner!!

Zaxares.5419:

Wonder if they have any plans to make Commander tag account bound too…

You are in my mind!!

Yeah in fact i would actually like to be able to see some supply, demand and volume indications to be able to forecast when is a good time to exchange !!!

No wonder why the Legendaries cost 2000+ gold!! :P i think we need some price fixing!! just saying

so lets sum up: we asked for the new T3 armor skin to be removed, and they removed it, we asked for account bound WXP and they will give it to us and on top of that they preparing a form of progression… You just made my day ANet because i have more reasons now to believe that the CD has chances to succeed and make the game even better!!

i would be totally in to that!!!!

…the new video from another MMO that released a new class today ( you can guess which MMO) and i was watching also the new Gw2 promoting video. Ok first of all it wasnt that bad, but i still think that the Gw2 marketing is really bad lately, comparing to other games!
What do you think about that?

-10/10
This update will turn off a lot of players, even fanboys crying on reddit.

Im one of them, i m trying not to complain as much as i can, but this wasnt what i was expecting – 4/10

The Great MMO Migration indeed.

Bye.

When I first heard the “Great MMO Migration” I thought it was a player video about people leaving for new games over the next 6months.

Yeah i thought the same thing too

Next LS update: The Quagan have been corrupted and transformed to this! Fight the Quagan Alliance ( Which is controlled secretly by Scarlet) !

So in other words, good by GW2 come Q1 2014. Oh well, had a good run and some potential.

Guess you haven’t played any of the other betas. The grass isn’t always greener. You think this forum is dark, you should see the stuff being said about ESO.

I find it rather interesting that you say that. I’ve been in several of their betas, including the most recent one and it appears to me that the vast majority are saying good things about it. That is including in game and forums. It definitely isn’t my cup of tea, but can see why people like it.

I’d look at the reddit thread. It’s literally being torn apart. And I’m not the only one saying this. But believe what you like. .

The ESO reddit page appears to be greatly positive. I don’t even see a single negative post on the entire first page. People are talking about withdrawals and fiending for more. Completely off topic, I just wanted to point out that I don’t agree with the " You think this forum is dark, you should see the stuff being said about ESO."

If you want to see a really healthy forum, check Wildstar, i havent see a single bad comment for that game, and im pretty sure there are some out there but the fact that i havent see any it means that they are not many!

Toxophile.6215:

I wish ANet would adopt a subscriber option to pay for the game. ToR does it pretty well, but their F2P is way more restrictive than GW2. If I could pay $15 a month to get an ‘allowance’ of 1,000 gems a months, plus some other minor perks like reduced prices in the gem market, I would. I actually am starting to dislike the requirement for F2P games populate their paid market with ‘cool’ stuff so people will send the company money. ANet charges about 50% too much for most everything on the gem market anyway. Let the F2P people pay regular over-priced amount, and subscribers get it for 50% off. THat being said, I haven’t felt any particular desire to buy anything off the gem market in a long time. I got the character slot and inventory stuff I wanted, and dipped my toe in the completely stupid RNG ANet loves so much a single time (dye), and said enough. Hell, I don’t even bother with RNG buying dye’s with laurels. It’s a sucker play. I guess they are happy with the people who pay. They still haven’t caught on to the reality that they will make MORE money if they reduce the cost of gem store stuff when a LOT more people buy.

Yeah i would subscribe for that for sure!

aGenda.2358:

I posted this in another thread but it is relevant here…

Most of their content updates, including their latest T3 gem store decisions, reek of a company that doesn’t have the resources (or funding) to pursue actual long-term content (such as an expansion), however is required by their publisher to post certain profits.

Therefore, the only choice they have is small, meaningless content updates and to make as many cash grabs in their gem store as possible. For example, the development investment to make cultural armor work for all races is extremely small compared to the profit they expect to make from the gem store. The living story is just an extension of this.

I kindof see that mentality driving everything they do lately. It doesn’t seem like we will ever see actual meaningful long-term design and development of new features and content produced for this game.

Thats why this game is: play 4-5 months have awesome epic time, get your legendary if you want, and then go play something else… this game i good!! is very good! but they making bad and rushed decisions…

This thread won’t die. This game NEEDS Canthan expansion

Fixed that for you.

Trying to fix it again…

I actually liked it! You got to watch the whole video and not pass scenes to realize that is nice!

Nah, you can spend real money if you want to buy a cool skin which is something most of us did at least once, but so much money for a legendary, nah it doesn`t worth it

Zaxares.5419:

As others here have said, it’s much cheaper to save up gold to buy the Precursor (since getting it yourself is too dependent on RNG), and then craft the rest of Twilight yourself.

I agree with all these, but every time i know that i got to do every single heart for the map completion i just feel frustrated!

Ive actually posted a thread yesterday about that it is too hard to solo it, if you are in a NA server pm me if you want my help because im trying to do orr map completion too!

Fluffball.8307:

Elbegast.6970:

Could you guys cool it on Cantha, please? I do believe the devs have gotten the message by now. No point in repeatedly asking for a statement by ArenaNet every 10 posts. They will put Cantha in the game if and when they so desire.

Pretty sure it’s exactly the opposite. As I understand it, Anet wanted to add Cantha and NCSOFT said no because they thought the fans wouldn’t want it. So if you want Cantha, continue letting people know you do.

The way they’re progressing with the living story and trying to keep people concentrated, I don’t see them adding a new continent perhaps ever, though.

You wanna hear the truth? most of the bad aspects of all this story is NSoft`s fault, the no expac LS/LW etc. and on top of that the money they making from Gw2 they dont even spend them on Gw2, they got other games that invest, especially their new “champion” WildStar which for gods sake i havent seen that much marketing job going on for a game since the WoW years!

LoL yeah indeed they are quite boring but dont forget their job is not to entertain you through the stream but through the game!

Please dear moderator dont kill this thread by sending it to other forum category!

this is a post that was few weeks after the release of the game! https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/GW2-is-so-NOT-dying-LOL/first#post56099
People saying is dying since then, so yeah just dont listen to comments in forums or youtube, the game for now is more than fine…

How about a Dongeon chat for people looking to get into a party for dungeons.

Great idea. World of Warcraft had this at a point in time.

Theres LFG tool for that already, why would you need chat?

Mounts in this game are good just to make you look super-cool, apart from that theres no point because there are WPs everywhere and all clases have access to speed boost abilities so i would like to see them just for the visual satisfaction apart from that they are not necessary!

thats actually awesome!

Wow man, this thread is 1 year old and still we got no news for Cantha!?

NargofWoV.4267:

Actually warriors are getting hit pretty hard with some nerfage. We understand it, don’t like it, but what can you do?

You dont like it but you got to admit if there is a class that needs some nerfs thats for sure warriors….

Just thought it might help the Devs to look at classes with the most feedback for future patches.

Elementalist – 21 pages
Engineer – 11 pages
Guardian – 10 pages
Mesmer – 10 pages
Necromancer – 15 pages
Ranger – 19 pages
Thief – 17 pages
Warrior – 6 pages

It may not be the best way to compare class issues but here is a very simple count of pages from each class forum for the thread titled Dec 10th patch with a Dev comment. IMO there were sweeping changes to Elementalist and Thief, which may explain the number of pages. There are is an obvious gap with half the classes from this comparison.

Any chance we can get some statistics for number of people playing, classes played, hours played (by class and region (pve/spvp/wvw) for a couple weeks before and after Dec 10th?

Warrior only 6 pages – Im wondering why!? :P

I think 6 pages worth of buffs are more than enough..

loooooooooool

Chris, when you return could you comment on the response and implimentation trnaround for some of the ideas we have put forth? Im not talking about exact timeframes but for things like adjusting the amount of achievement grind, for example…is that something that could happen relatively quickly like a mon or two…or are we looking at many months before we see and result of these discussions.

I know internal discussions need to happen, coding, etc… But on some of the topics we talked about for living story, the amount of my playtime may be determined by how quickly some of thisgetsput in. Thanks

Hi Cesmode,

Generally when we agree on a point it means that we will discuss it with the team and go from there. Reducing the "grind’ in achievements is something we have been working on for a while and the last topic discussion has only furthered our commitment to get the balance right sooner. We can’t give a timing cadence on specific features but we can talk about changes or evolutions to our design philosophy.

In my summary i listed the points we agree with and those that we will look into again. I hope this helps?

Chris

Well i was looking for something like…when you agree on an idea internally does it take months to become reality? My interest has been waning because of the things we have been discussing and i was looking to see if there is light a the end of the tunnel sooner rather than later.

It depends on the particular area, some can be almost immediate and others could take months. In future i will be sure to give more explanation about what goes into the development of features or areas we are discussing.

Chris

Oh yes please, I`d love to know the process of how all this content is considered and added in the game!

Please add more fun to GW2.

Why take so long to add new fun features?

Do jumping puzzles with your friends or guild. Even if you suck on them you`ll enjoy it!

cesmode.4257:

You just do… we all have. Or find someone to help you out. Sometimes theres someone running around. Or have a look at http://www.gw2state.com/temples.html and guest to a server where the temple is open where you need to get the different POIs and all.

Ok thats helpful thanks

How am I supposed to do map completion for orr when there are champions and veterans guarding the skill points and there`s nobody else around to help? any idea?

man thats a fantasy MMO i just cant play human characters it ruins it for me, but i like the fact that are in the game obviously….

well WvW is an issue, because you know is awesome but if your server is really bad then you dont enjoy it at all most of the times… it could have been the perfect end game (alongside with LS) but the server population unbalance ruins it!

You have free content every 2 weeks.

This is invalid argument because if it were free Anet would be bankrupted and out of business. While you yourself may play it for free some of us support the company by purchases while you continue your free ride and then come here and give people a hard time how its free. Thank you.

Is free on individual basis, which means that if you dont want to spend money for gems you just dont spend, if you now personally buy a skin in every new update is your decision which is good and much better that the P2P model for many ppl

But in the big picture is isn’t free, just a lot of people are riding it free. Point being, someone is putting money into and those people should have the right to comment.

Personally i spend quite few money in to the gem store and you know im more than fine with that because i get a huge game to play and free content every second week which i dont mind if it is temporary, i used to play wow for 3 years, i enjoyed it but i never felt that 15 dollars per month worth it when at the same time i should also spend money for every new x-pac.

Honestly I rather 15 a month because the games have been better quality when they were. Now it just lets try to squeeze money out of you and focus less on quality. That is my personal experience with several online games.

You know that if you you could take all this content at the end of the year all together it would be a huge ex-pac? you dont realize that because is not permanent and i will agree with you if you say it would be better if it was permanent, yeah there are problems with the quality also but hey theres CD going on to actually fix that… if in a couple of months from now nothing is changed there are other games out there to spend our time…

People kitten when the don’t fix what’s already there. Apparently, people kitten when the DO fix what’s already there.

Lesson: People kitten.

Yeah true! This update is good and you got to appreciate that not only is free but that also Anet listened to the players and they eventually add it in the game… really if all this bothers some ppl go and play something else, in the end is just going to be a “guy who doesn`t appreciate anything” less that will not ruining everyone`s experience anymore…. Im not trying to be offensive, but thats the truth…

mercury ranique.2170:

Duelling in open world?
No please not. I have played games that have this and I left those games just for that. It is childish and totally boring games played by lil boys that try to have a peeing contest. Yes I know you can decline, but that results in them chasing you around and shouting in mapchat/local chat what a chicken you are. even if you have it unticked, they do that.

I know that there are very adult people who like to duel and do it in a respectfull way, but those lil kids have 100% ruined it too many times to have any trust it will be better in GW2. The day it would be implemented I would leave the game I love a lot.

If you are want to have an option to duel amongst guildmates in a guildhall. Then my answer would be why not.

I agree with you, but the problem is we cant try our awesome looking legendary and armor in PvP yet, so dueling would be fun just for that…

Shadey Dancer.2907:

Wandering through Divinity’s Reach, and overheard the topic of conversation turn to Tybalt, and how much he was liked. Which got me thinking. So here it is, Vote ‘Yay, or Nay’, and why, there should (or should not) be a statue of Tybalt Leftpaw .
It probably wont happen, but a bit of fun anyway.

I vote ‘yay’—reason : -He was possibly the only hero I *did not* want to see die.

+1 to that, he deserves a statue!

(( Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap, nice ending ))

they got to make the top of the tower easier to access otherwise nobody will doing the whole 3rd floor just to reach the top and do one instance….
