Guild Wars 2

daimasei.4091:

And if people can read it in the wiki, why they would read it in-game?

I mean, not against the idea but to be honest, how many of us read the text in-game?
I do it but sadly, most people just want to rush, get rewards, demand new content, repeat.

Thats why im talking about the lore lovers such as myself, i read the text because i like it but im disapointed when i got to search for more info

Vayne.8563:

They could put this stuff in the game in some sort of book…or text on an NPC that’s talking. It wouldn’t take that much work.

If people are going to read it in the wiki, why can’t they read it in game?

I’ve always objected to having to get my information from the game website or a wiki or a guide on a site. I play these games to immerse myself. Every single time I have to leave the game to find something out, it makes the game less appealing to me.

Exactly, thats a cheap and very good solution

I was checking the lore in wiki simply because so far i see nothing actually making sense, and i was impressed from the fact that was good lore behind both scarlet and other updates such as southsun… why we never got these in game?? why did you let such a good opportunity of making the lore fans happy and scarlet haters.. hate less?

… is a mind blowing end! Ive read some ideas in the forums such as Reddit and the ideas that the players have about the end they are so good that if they implement any of them in the story i would take back all i said for LS lore!!!

same here i play on Sea of sorrows send me in game msg

As a guy who has Mesmer as main, i love the new healing skill!

Harbinger.8637:

I just want to say this was one of the best livestreams so far. It was very well made and informative.

Yeah nice livestream! gj

Not bad idea but i still dont like the fact that they have to remove or replace the new zones, i mean i dont understand their philosophy , you are doing so much effort to make a new content every 2 weeks and after a while you remove it? :/ and even though when ppl like the content you still remove it?? why??

You are assuming this game has a future beyond 2015.

This.

I expect we see GW3 around that time.

GW3 is most likely under development already, it’s pretty clear that the current amount of “content” we are getting in form of Living World updates doesn’t require all 300+ employees ArenaNet has since most of the Living World stuff is rehashed old stuff. They have most likely something like 50 people handling GW2 and rest are already working on next MMO title since ArenaNet has said they won’t release GW2 expansion.

I know right? Isnt it strange they`ve got 300 employees for gw2 and for gw1 they had 50 but the quantity of content is so smaller and slower than gw1?? They either preparing huge changes such as an x-pac which is very likely to happened or they making a Gw3… or the bad scenario is that they are simply slow and there`s nothing exiting coming…

Forums definitely!

My main is Mesmer and I also play with Guardian send me in game mail or wisp me if interested

We need all these changes you are planning to do expet of removing the ranks! for many reasons such us that gives the sense of competition, finishers, achievements and for me also is a type of end game, trying to rank up as much as possible is something that i like…

So lately i see the RNG haters (including me) rising in numbers… Lets make a “constructive” post of what alternatives you would like to see replacing the current RNG system or ways that can fix it!

And thats the death of this thread… Moved to suggestions

Xillllix.3485:

I think so far Anet did a good job, not perfect obviously, class balance is still a problem with the overpowered hammer-warrior and underpowered staff ele (and between these extreme), the world didnt grow much in both WvW and world map, random loot is still questionable.

That`s probably the briefest sum up of what is mostly wrong with that game! I mean wow!
+10 points to that

thats sad very sad, and it will be even more sad when they`ll realize that all we wanted to do is to help by telling them what is bad in the game, and instead they ignore us because “we are the guys that complaining all the time”…

lol

the reason the only way to acquire ascended by crafting and not tokens is because it is supposed to be hard…

Crafting isn’t hard, unless you mean hard to stay awake.

It is hard i mean it need time, you need time to farm the ascended material and the gold you need to do it, exept if you are from the ones that play 24/7 so you probably can make ascended weapon in 2-3 days….

the reason the only way to acquire ascended by crafting and not tokens is because it is supposed to be hard… exotic was the one that it was supposed to be kitten the first place but since the players farm everything and quick it became too easy and they added ascended for this reason…

timmyf.1490:

I believe the main problem is that it creates a TERRIBLE first impression of the game for anybody who begins with a human character. (Which is the plurality choice.) Those champ train folks can get rather nasty in map chat.

Although Im doing this train daily, i would agree that this is really the case, it indeed gives wrong impression about the game to the new players

The artwork, the music and the massive battles both in WvW and PvE!

goldenwing.8473:

19 level 80s.

Have only finished it twice.

First time to see what the story was like. (Shakes head sadly).

Second time to get the annoying text off my screen.

If ANet does not give us a way to customize our UI, or at least click the dang PS story off the top right of our screens, I may feel forced to do it one more time on what is now (finally) my main (thanks to ascended gear).

Yes, I’d like some cheese with that whine, thank you.

Yeah there a big amount of players asking for UI customization since BETA!!!

well let me explain: many of us have done just the Arah dungeon what im talking about is the rest of the story before the dungeon! because jumping straight away to the last part without having done the rest of the story doesnt mean you finished it:P:P

hahahahahahahahahahaha

Ping.5739:

I finished it on one and… gosh, I will never do that kitten again. I found racial story more interesting than pact’s(eg. asura infinite ball)

Yeah the as you can see from the previous posts on this thread everyone says the racial story part is interesting after that they give up… like me:P

Question: Along with the new skills, reward and armor changes (which i personally love em), what other ideas on PvP modes you have that are different from the current ones? Also are you thinking of making small PvP arenas for 1v1 2v2 3v3 only?

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/player-vs-player-rewards-roadmap/
Here is the link with the news…

I agree too, it really ruins my style when my first set o weapons are white and the second red, i either have to dye my armor white or red…

smart idea!
-15 charrs

Do jumping puzzles, find a good guild, start running around with people doing fun mostly events and you`ll see why we like it… if you ever played MMO before in your life you`ll know how static and boring the questing system and dungeons are… This game is about having fun doing things with friends, is not grinding everything for ever and ever including skills and traits, we got legendary and ascended, thats enough to grind allready

I must disagree with the not fun part, some of us like it a lot some others dont…i personally enjoy them especially because i have played other MMOs in the past and i know what a really boring with poor mechanics dungeon means.I enjoy and appreciate the mechanics of Gw2 dungeons and fractals, although yes they need some bug fixes…

For me personally the reasons are:
-Bad cinematics
-Small quantity of lore in both presonal and living story
-very very bad dialogs and script in general
I got a thread that i made that i ask ppl if they even bother doing the personal story, some answers are honest and on the point…

The worst part is that i doubt they ever going to change it by making the cut-scenes better or making the way that the story is delivered better…

angelpaladin.7921:

I watched the entire interview and I am sorry it was fluff. There was a lot of we want to and we are going to work on it for the future. The game is kinda losing steam now its at the awkward stage where it either does or doesn’t

So your opinion is that the game will start dying ?

Astral Projections.7320:

That’s an incorrect reward for that area. I suggest you contact support to report a bug.
Top of page-support, then top of page-submit a request.

Yeah it should be bug!

There’s a video in YouTube that is Colin himself saying they are planning to do this along with many other things, when I find it I’ll share the link in this thread

This sounds like the majority of there idea’s coming soon™

In fact i found the video so interesting watching it for second time that i made a new thread for it, here`s the link https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Colin-Johanson-interview/first#post3299061

.. I`m not aware if this video has been uploaded on the forum before because is a bit old (3 months old) , but i found it very interesting since there is Colin talking about topics that everyone is concerned such as expansions, guild halls, classes and weapons. Enjoy.

As an aside, the living story updates became so frequent that they provided new content very often but for someone with not a lot of play time it became a bit like ADD. Here’s new content, no wait go look at this, quick something else!

And I missed out on completing achievements for some living story components as they seem to close upon every second piece of content.

This, this is the point. Some time ago I made a post saying exactly that, and everyone in the forum was “Ewww dude, that’s a success, one update every two weeks it’s perfect, you suck!!!”.

Can’t you see quantity <<<<< (is much less important than) quality? I really rather have 1 LS update every month, or every two months than just have mediocre stories being spammed every 2 weeks. I personally don’t have time to enjoy it.

Before you went into this craziness I was enjoying every LS. Now for me it just became a tool to get Achivement Points. The stories are really boring, and I really don’t have time to get into the flow of it.

What I would really love is more resources put into fixing the few bugs there are, and making the gameplay more fun, in every aspect of the game (PvE, PvP and WvW).

All I know is the clock is ticking and their time to change all these concerns is limited. Which makes me start losing faith

Peetee.9406:

It’s business.

Unlike GW1 which was a truly unique and beautiful game, this game is very similar to every other of it’s genre on the market. While this game beats all it’s competition on the current market, it probably won’t beat future releases. Wildstar and EverQuest Next are taking the best features from this game and launching with a engine not nearly as restrictive.

The game is on the descent and is only going to bleed more players as time passes. They understand that and that’s why they’re trying to make as much money as they can now. Any major update that the players want is not going to happen. They’d never recoup their investment back.

It’s not anyone’s fault, it’s just how this genre operates these days. MMOs get about a one year life cycle where they try to make as much money as possible before shoveling up and going on life support.

Your theory makes total sense, and if you consider the fact that Wildstar and Gw2 are Ncsoft then you realizing what is happening…

So i saw the results from the WvW season, and on T1 was something like:
Blackgate
Blackgate
Blackgate
Blackgate
Oh Maguma
Blackgate
Blackgate….
The worst part is not that the high populated servers have advantage at WvW, but also they are much more active in public events and the players are more happy because the game feels social and populated, guesting solves this problem with the events, but wvw will remain..
Server merging was something that is happening often to other games including MMOs, why not to Gw2 as well?

Intel i7 and 8Gb ram is good… the photo of the specs you attached are really going to run the game pretty bad even on low setting

Mine one wasnt that optimistic i was talking about why they should improve the LS thats the post:
“Maybe, they should do something to keep ppl interested otherwise you know, Wildstar, EQ Next, ESO… I dont even need to explain…”

It was uploaded few hours ago, i found it interesting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLydkYKVKjw

Cotheer.2806:

I’ve been spending more and more time in WvW and though it gets repetitive, it’s way better and more fun than the laundry list LS has turned GW2 into.
I dunno, i’ve come to the point of contemplating hard before logging in, and that in my experience eventually leads to one thing, uninstall.

Maybe it’s me, but the game lost its “umph”.

Yeah is not that the content is bad or something like that.. Is just that is not an MMO designed to last for years to come, but rather something that will offer you fun time for 1-2 years max…

Ambush.9420:

Immensus.9732:

Dont bother this game has like half a year of life left

Where exactly are you getting your numbers from? lol

From the fact that in aprox half a year from now there are awesome MMOs coming out!

Wondering , will they ever make it better?!?!?!

Immensus.9732:

Dont bother this game has like half a year of life left, i dont think ppl have enough patience to w8 to Anet to fix all these problems, they will just move to something different when the new mmos come out, just enjoy it for now and dont let the community ruin your experience…

I can tell you that they lost me months ago due to their design decisions and I see that it’s getting worse. I agree, OP shouldn’t bother. But if he intent on continuing, I gave him another route to pursue.

Yeah it is getting worse, i dont like complaining i really dont but lately they are disapointing me all the time..
