Guild Wars 2

why is that patch good? we got nothing more than zerg event awful loot ONE, i repeat, ONE cinematic and the destruction of a main city which is probably the only fun thing.

The res one good cinematic. tahts all about. i dont like this patch at all

yep and let me be more specific!
The Good:
Nice cinematic tick
Nice change to LA tick
The first time you do the event is ok tick
The Bad:
the second time is boring tick
No actual story tick
No actual impact from the players( if that was their intention) tick
Gem store orientated release once again tick
im not even gonna talk about the loot…

this sums up many things

Yes that! I need to do a whole research every time they say a time specific event American time

:D:D:D:D I did it

Do you cut the UI at editing or theres a way to make it not appearing?

C
/15 char crap

LOL MATT AND WOODEN POTATOES!! YOOHOO!!

We are at the beginning stages of overhauling our cinematic tools. It’s still very early on, so you wont see anything big for quite some time…In the meantime, you should see a gradual improvement in the quality of cut-scenes as the cinematic and writing team strengthen our collaboration efforts.

I should add that custom animations take up a substantial amount of dev resources that aren’t dedicated to cinematics.

The GW1 cinematics team was created for machinama and traditional 3D animation…whereas the GW2 team was built around animating concept art (motion graphics work)

The cinematics that you see in the personal story where 2 characters talk to each other on a stage-like environment have been…retired.

Cinematics/cut-scenes are an important part of our game. We are constantly striving to make them better and push the limits of our current tools in the process.

is this change just for newly developed content, or do you plan to update the old personal story cinematics as well ?
what about dungeon cinematics ?

I don’t think it would be a wise investment to go back and redo some of the old cinematics. There will be plenty of new story content needing cinematic moments.

If there is time, I’d love to have the option to take a polish pass on old stuff.

I take back what i said for a moment i thought you`ll improve the personal story, i missunderstood. oh well at least the new content will be better which is good

WELL kittenING DONE!!!!!!! I’m so happy that I will fully enjoy the personal story with this change!!!

yeah i made a sarcastic comment about getting “epic loot” and it got deleted. but i will say it again, dont expect awesome loot from LW in any way, expect it from gem store

yes is quite unplayable and im not even gonna talk about pvp/wvw. is not their fault there are always technical problems occurring

From PvP perspective
1. Elementalist
2. Mesmer
3Ranger

1. Elementalist
2. Ranger
3.Warrior (needs nerfs)

I don’t want to disappoint you. But the future LS has been datamined and because I don’t want to spoil it all I will say is that is not primordus

Yes this thread again. There have been people asking for templates again and again and again and they are right this game should have this system from launch

1. Personal story is not engaging at all. Is so boring that in fact I haven’t finished it
2. Is very annoying that I was promised a living world that my choices have impact and instead I got events that reset every hour and they no more different than traditional quests

i dont understand whats the problem of having mounts in eotm. we like fancy thinga=s and we want fancy things. on top of that it would be epic doing massive battle while you are on mount, but i wouldnt expect it to be balanced, just fun

Meglobob.8620:

All from the year 2050:-

-Just got all my WvW titles…hello, hello is anybody still here?
-Is a expansion being released?

those two made my day

my server is very highly populated but only areas such as queensdale and frostgorge have people, and of course LA and wvw. the population is not low, the problem is that theres nothing to make people go back and explore or roam around the world

This is seriously getting out of hand, i tried to do some world completion the other day on different areas and i got depressed by seen failed events and dead NPCs everywhere. This is a VERY bad impression for new players. I dont know what Anet tries to succeed but seriously even if the game the coolest events, theres no meaning if nobody is there to do them.

so lets guess:
460k the highest
a good 30% left and a 10% came back
most of them dont have many things to do any more so they dont play to often
many others will leave for the new MMOs

so on average i believe max 150-200k on LS/LW patch days and this is probably the number of active players the last 2-3 months as well. i really believe the pop is low

Warrior is gw2 on Easy mode as some say and is true. Is also true mesmer can dodge more because of vigor but they gonna nerf that so yeah. Warrior!

[So this new MMO just come out, bye bye gw2]
This is coming soon!

After doing the today LS i saw the main characters referring to our relationship as friendship! i must admit that it was probably for the best structured story of LS so far and i enjoyed the fact that they made us come closer to the main story characters! Really well done!!!!

Yes I totally would say sub if gem store stopped existing. But is too late to do that

Obviously the new skin is much uglier than the previous especially the male version of it! But I see no reason to complain even if it is a re-skin if you don’t like it don’t buy it

Narcemus.1348:

I was thinking recently about how Scarlet plans to attack Lion’s Arch, and it hit me. Scarlet is gonna have involvement in the Edge of the Mists map in the coming update. The edge of me mists has at least some connection to WvW which connects directly to Lion’s Arch. What if Scarlet’s plan is to go through the WvW gates and attack Fort Marriner from the inside?

Sorry if this possibility has already been brought up. I haven’t been reading the forums as thoroughly as I usually do :P

this actually makes sense!

So I was roaming in LA and I found Evon I start talking to him and he was saying that he is disappointed with the election results and that scarlet one day will attack LA! Pretty much confirming the speculations about attack in lions arch!

yeah but you forget something important, when gw2 was in beta and players were asking for obvious things to be added in the game or fixed, nothing happened, carbine postponed the game launch for wildstar more than 6 months based on beta feedback because they actually listen to players. that for me is enough to say carbine is more solid team than anet.

ill probably be hated for that, but i think Carbine has much better and solid team than Anet! still both games are fun! but id LOVE see housing and other customization features in gw2.

What do I expect? Maybe some bug fixes and life quality changes! What do I want? What I said plus customizable Home instance, trait templates, multi-profession system and new abilities!

I could not agree more with you OP. People think that this game needs teamwork regardles its structure, but that’s not true!

Oh look! A Warrior!

Is fun that there was a pots on gw2 forums in pvp section where player were rating which classes believe thayt are balanced and which OP. mesmer was in balanced and MM Necros OP. still mesmers get more nerfing than they should and necros less…

Devonas Rest is rated as high populated. LA is empty most of the time! And by empty i mean no more than 5 people literally!

Sir Morgan Malory.2069:

Abandon all hope for an large expansion. Anets parent company won’t let it happen until the GW2 community starts to dwindle to the point where the game isn’t turn a solid profit. My guess is that they announce an expansion 2 years more now, then it will take another year and a half to create. The game will be 5 years old and an expansion won’t matter because the will be newer prettier games to play by then.

I dont think that the case is as bad as you describe it, but i have one thing to say only 4/4/2014! just that!

I dont see why ppl dont want instances, the worm itself is something that requires hardcaped overflow which means that nobody else can join anyway, at least make it instanced so that people can be able to reconnect when they DC and also to shorten the spawn times!1!!!

i love all these temporary skins, i didnt have the oportunity to get any of the cool skins, but i feel like special when i got some just because is unique and ultra rare

i still believe that these are just random symbols put together to confuse the players

I dotn think thats enough to make gw2 a king:P gw2 is good game but comparing to the game features the upcoming MMOs will have such as housing and other awesome sandbox elements i doubt this will be a good year for anet! still gw2 is my favorite MMO currently because it tried to innovate and it actually succeed that, but theres always a life time limit to every game.

So we got a TRIPLE head ultra hard boss, harder than tequatl and the loot is worst.

I’m not really that excited. I mean yeah we get e new fun and big map. But I was expecting more story focused content for these releases

Yeah i thought it was only me but apparently a good majority of players have huge internet/server lag since last patch and thats not coincidence.

The raid bosses and mechanics are amazing indeed. But is very very frustrating for players with high ping such as Australian when they get disconnect and they have to wait for 2-3 more hours to get back in

I disagree indeed some don’t play the game and they are here just to trol. But many of us are complaining etc. Because we think many things must change to make the game better

CAN I PLEASE please i beg you ANet, have at least some of these housing features in Guild Wars 2 ?! Please!

SHHHHHH dont speak to loud, hes still dreaming! :P

Just make it a high tier, instanced guild mission.

Same thing should probably be done for Teq and Wurm as well.

Thats a good idea too
