So much on “We don’t want to force players too play content they don’t want to play”
Here we are I’m being forced to play adventures to get the last 23 MP’s I need to max out the Nuhoch Lore and Itzel Lore since I have to have them since items are locked unless I have all masteries maxed out.
WTB adventures permanent unlock for 2,000 gems so I can play unlimited plus times without having to do meta events and only get to play adventures for 15min at a time (VB) Plus with invulnerability from mob at shooting gallery for example.
All the gated stuff makes me sick
It’s questionable if taxi to open tarir is according to the rules (probably yes, as there is also group content to be done in open tarir).
But taxis to do (meta) events IS a group formation. Don’t confuse group with party.
I highly doubt Anet will ban anyone for taxing in other players to map since Anet wants players to play together.
I would not prepurchase for the following reasons
- taking away core content like the promised 5 mini games and reselling it in expansion making players pay for it 2 times.
– don’t like the Nintendo crap or action camera mini games
-don’t like gated content and don’t like being forced into content like mini games for mastery points .
-content I had unlocked taken away from me, and locked behind a wall to just unlock all over again.
For 3 years we’ve been told “play your way” and the Dev’s don’t want to force players to play content they don’t want to play, well it all went out the window with H.O.T.
Sick of all the flip flopping and listing to them trying to justify all their decisions good or bad, IMHO mostly bad ones.

LFG system abuse = players selling items for gold
Since the meta fails just about 100% of the time how are we supposed to get the strong box behind the wall when it opens up and the collection armor piece? Why nerf small things like the spider farm when their is more important larger issues that need to be addressed that effects the masses.!
Now we just need a NA guild to do this, good luck EU
Because repeatedly killing the same mobs in the same area over and over isn’t content. It’s a grind.
Because GW2 isn’t a game in which repeatedly killing the same mobs over and over in a small area is the intended play pattern.
because it rewarded significantly better xp and money than actually playing the game in the intended manner.
Further, it’s a grind that takes up map spots from people that could be contributing to the zone meta. It’s the same problem that the GvG people caused in WvW before that situation was dealt with.
They should nerf the CoF mob XP while they’re at it.
GW2 is a grindy game killing things over and over in small area to get collection items for several PVE reward tracks.
One of the Dev’s twitted that CoF farm was legit and they didn’t care about how players grinded to level masteries.
GVG is far worse of an issues with taking up map slots plus with toxic chat than with spider farm ever was. The more people doing spider farm becomes counter productive as the spider would die too fast to get credit. 12 people farming spiders isn’t going to make a huge difference on a map doing meta events. What happened to play our way? And don’t give me that players taken “play your way” out of context speech also it has nothing to do with power level/progression that you’ve tried to pull before.
So with raids out now and on same map with players spamming looking for raid groups or groups forming up to do raids are taking up far more map spots thus taking away even more players away from doing meta events then the spider farm is.
Seriously do you really play the game at all? or spend all your time on the forums?
(edited by JediYoda.1275)
No.
If you want to force people to give something to the guild, you’re not a guild.
You’re a taxing governement.
Agree with this,
If guild members are not contributing to the guilds on there own free will kick them and find ones that will.
Why are people so concerned with things that do not have any bearing on them whatsoever.
But it does affect all around. They take server space but no server participation.
You can argue one way or the other about it being bad or not. The thing is, the meta event requires enough people to be doable. If we have too many side-trackers that see nothing of interest in successfully completing the meta-events because all they care about is numerical maximization the only ‘cure’ for them and the meta-event is making the event the best numerical option.
Spider farm is fine the way it is as most of the time its only hand full or little more farming spiders that I’ve seen for myself. I would agree spider farming would ONLY be an issue if the whole map was doing it but that’s not the case here. Nothing stopping the OP from starting a organized map him/herself or joining one in LFG tool. So in all the OP is blowing things out of proportion.

The guy was just trying to think of a way to help in his own way, no need to jump on him. Sure there are lots of tragic events in the world but maybe this one hit close to home for him. I’m sure they could do something nice with the money and who’s to say giving doesn’t help people heal that weren’t directly affected?
He can help in his own way by other means other through a video game that would be much better.

No, influence was not better for small guilds of any type than the new system, no matter what sort of content was played. That isn’t an opinion. That is a fact.
That is opinion, not fact,
they did it so they can taunt us all the way to bank with our money laughing at us
Don’t shoot the guy theorizing Anet’s reasons. Sheesh. I’m on your side.
To be fair he did ask for direct sources
Ideally, you want to be able to market features to new players to draw them in. Problem is, if Anet goes out of their way at all to cater to micro guilds, that’s not really something they can market to potential new customers. “Come play a guild solo or with only a couple friends.” It goes against one of their core design philosophies; the idea that players can group together and interact with each other in a meaningful way, with ease, and are encouraged to do so. Running a micro guild isn’t much of a cooperative experience.
.
Market to new players and shaft the players that have supported them for years and even shaft the new players that even bought the expansion makes no sense. Its about equality and accessibility for all the guilds and all guild halls regardless how many members from1 to 500 are favor capped and time gated so it shouldn’t be a huge deal as many are making it out to be with this so called “catering” to micro/small guilds argument.
Anet admitted to they are trying to force players to be more interactive and claim the old influence system didn’t do that. Anet shouldn’t force us to play their way, we tell them how we want to play and they really should do more on their part to welcome everyone not just shaft a part of their player base.
2, No and Anet already made it clear 5 or more players makes a guild and balanced guild halls around 10 active players. ….. snip….
Where is the quote from Anet on this?
You based this on recent actions that may be pliable if the player base contends it. And the players are opposed. Since Anet does listen to what the players want and they have not come out and said in stone not ever changing guild structure to favor smaller/single player guilds.
I have to disagree with one statement I see over and over: that GW2 is pro forcing group content.
I rather thought this game’s bragging rights was that it catered to ALL PLAYING STYLES. There is solo play in this game so there should also be solo guilds with solo guild content.
And I have to reiterate what other players have said. Before HoT we had more. Why did HoT take it away?
My post is based on info direct from Anet and what they have done not based off anything else.
Yes Anet is forcing pro grouping look at the HP’s in the new maps, 3 or more players for guild missions and they even admitted to it in blog post and live stream.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/rethinking-guilds/
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/building-your-guild-hall/
Q: Guild has only 3 players, can we get a guild hall and get enough favor? ?Yes if you are really good players you can get a guild hall with less than 5 players. Less than 5 reduce the amount of guild missions you can run and the amount of favor you can earn.
?We are balancing most of the cost assuming 10 players
http://dulfy.net/2015/10/02/gw2-guild-week-day-4-livestream-qa/
Direct from the Q&A stream, Colin stated anet considers a guild as a group of 5+ players, and less than that “not even a group really”

(edited by JediYoda.1275)
Are we arguing that all size guilds’ advancements, no matter the size, should not be gated behind HoT achievements?
Or are we asking Anet to define what they believe a guild is and within that definition how many members constitute a guild?
1, No
2, No and Anet already made it clear 5 or more players makes a guild and balanced guild halls around 10 active players.
We are simply asking for little easier for us to earn favor without going to extreme like running a race 15 times to complete a mission to get credit that someone keeps bringing up over and over in other threads. With favor caps and time gates in place should it really matter at all really? If micro/small guilds want to have a guild halls too etc.
I bought all of first vol books, Recipes listed below won’t unlock from Grandmaster Hobbs stingy hands:

I fore saw this issue 2 weeks before launch when we had guild chat week and I got flamed big time in my two threads. More support we can get the sooner hopefully things will get changed.
I love how that site was brigaded by reddit to force positive reviews from the fanboys.
Guess you didn’t see it a couple days ago, when the average score was like 3/10 because of all the buttmad kiddies giving 0 stars?
So all Reddit fan boys trying to manipulate the metric score are any better than these so called butt mad kids? There are some truths to both sides in the reviews!
Reddit fan boys? right because any who like the expansion and disagree with vocal minority are fan boys right? The fact is bad posts there can be downvoted to oblivion, while bad post on offical forum stays.
Pretty much. “Fan boy” is just another name calling tactic that uses rhetoric on the level of gradeschool kids to try and subvert anyone from feeling comfortable speaking up about anything they like about a game.
lol the same thing as calling anyone that disagrees with you point of view is a “level of gradeschool kids” and you try to subvert anyone who dislike likes something about the game.
Look the rhetoric works both ways, which was what I was pointing out!
People calling players giving bad reviews kids etc and you get mad because some said “fan boy” You can’t have it both ways!!
Like I said there are some truths to both sides in the reviews and you people should be more open minded then being blinded by your own personal view point on something. So really no need for anyone to attack anyone regardless which side of the line you stand on since no one side is any better then the other.
No, not really. See, the difference is ‘fan boy’ criticizes by applying an identity (i.e. name calling), while my statement criticized an action (name calling).
I didn’t call anyone a grade school kid, even if I did say that name calling was a childish act.
Like I said you and others can’t have it both ways and you are not fooling anyone and congratulations on to continue to miss my point.
He said the action of aplying labels to anyone who disagrees is in the “level of gradeschool kids”, he did not call those who don’t like the game “gradeschool kids”.
There’s a difference between a group of people (those who don’t like the game) and doing something (calling others fanboys).
You continue to miss his point. Congrats!
Obviously you and him/her didn’t my first post in this thread, and I didn’t miss his/her point.
SMH, internet net is full of comedians these days, people actually trying to defend its okay to call people on one side names but get mad at being called a fanboy on the other, pot meet kettle.
Sorry but there is no difference when some in this thread or on Reddit calling the people giving negative reviews kids, butt mas kids, qqers and other names is no different then calling someone a fan boy/girl.
@ someone that said it was not manipulation, you don’t need to make alt accounts to manipulate something. A reddit user asked other players to purposely give positive reviews is a from of manipulation.

I agree with the OP and surprised to see no salty/toxic post like what happened to my 2 threads I made couple weeks ago on same issue pretty much.
ANet has also removed the player’s choice of how we want to play the game, they are now forcing players to play the they way want us too, that’s the bigger picture here. For 3 years Anet always said “play your way” well with H.O.T you will “play our way” which goes against everything Anet used stood for and against. If they keep on alienating the player base it will come back and bite them in their wallet. They ignored all the outcry from the last karma boost nerf and act like well we have your money we will do what ever we like no matter what the players say.

Guys, you have been notified that shortly after launch and maybe for quite some time, some markets will be out of whack and will take some time to find a new equilibrium.
snip
That doesn’t explain why after 3 years so many of the events are still broke which limits supply of certain items in return makes thing cost more!
I got all 8 weapons, on couple other alts that had enough points to start elite spec track didn’t get chest.
One each per account or one per toon? The repair NPC in PVP lobby didn’t help me any. If its a Exotic Precursor weapon (none of them say) then it makes since one per account, confirmation would be nice too!

Not Sarcasm at all, who knows maybe or maybe not it will get reverted back, time will tell, Just sick of all the qq in map chat from the Maize Balm farmers.
Excuse me? Oganizing people to do content together is now called QQ? Considering you came to the forums to even post this suggest where a lot of QQ may have come from.
I must had hit a nerve lol,
You heard me, The qq’ers isn’t the problem its the toxic players that’s the problem and is one reason why we can have nice things just like Queens Dale champ farm etc.
If human nature didn’t come into play of greed, toxic, elitist attitude etc then we probably wouldn’t have such nerfs.

Anet told us several times over the past few days and weeks to use the 24/48 hour buffs before h.o.t goes live and they wont refund guilds on lost currency for them. So nothing for them to fix as everyone was warned.
Was this message in game how ever?
No and why would they tell everyone in an in game msg? it was all over the blog post, Dev and QA Embed post on the forums, dulfy, reddit, twitch live streams.
There was plenty of warning to use them before hand and they won’t be carried over once h.o.t goes live.
(edited by JediYoda.1275)
TY Anet
Sarcasm?
I feel like this is just to make it so that critter farming doesn’t compete with the halloween labrynth. Hopefully it gets reverted after.

•Maize Balm now only affects 1 target instead of 3.
•Maize Balm now only has 1 charge rather than 3
TY Anet
que everything you can now, it will auto complete when h.o.t goes lives
3 more hrs to go yet
its a scam, report by using the report button and delete the in game mail
EOTM map when it reopens when h.o.t is released
gems to unlock all waypoints (requested today)
gems for immediate level 80 (requested yesterday)
gems for mounts with 100-300% speed boost (frequent)
gems to convert PvE maps to PvE/PvP (frequent)
gems to unlock all hero points (requested today)Just because someone wants it doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. It may benefit you and other players yet be bad for the game as a whole.
It really makes me wonder why such people play games at all if they can’t put any effort in anything ingame and have to rely on $ to get good. Really quite sad.
Because farming to unlock a spec will make you good ^^
it makes you better player vs the ones buying them with no skill/too lazy to get them on their own.
I’m all for earning your way, don’t get me wrong. But I also definitely side with the group that would prefer to experience the new content while playing the new spec, rather than experience what I can only assume is a large portion of it to unlock the spec. Maybe paying for it with gems is the wrong approach, but it’s the best idea I’ve seen thus far.
4 new maps with 10 HPs per map with each HP is worth 10 points is a perfect compromise, just do 40 HPs x 10 = 400 HP.
People should be able to use real money to catch up to those who have more time to play. People should not be able to use real money to get ahead of people who are actually playing the game. The ability to buy power is the very definition of pay2win.
I wouldn’t mind if Anet did something like this in a years time, allowing people to catch up (but I don’t believe they will).
They should absoluteliy not do it before almost everyone has their elite specializations unlocked.
Even then I would still say no, no matter what someone will always be behind in someway in some aspect of the game. Should Anet offer other items like buy all WvW abilities unlock for Gems for those people to catch up also? . Where would it stop or at all? It would be a very bad idea to go down that road.
Anet expects small guilds to recruit new members, ask/hire help or just abandon our small guilds and join bigger guilds.

Not everyone wants to farm HP in pve.
Its hardly a farm when you can only do each HP once per alt and its not like they are real hard to do, at most for very few you may need some help. Players have to do them anyway for map completion so not a big deal as some of you are making this out to be. Besides it would be a low blow to all the players that got all the HP’s by playing the game if OP got his/her way.

Anet warned us several months ago so the players can do all the HP’s to get ready for h.o.t . Each HP in new maps are 10 points each and you can get all 400 points in new maps if you want.
Hero Points are content to people? Laughable and pathetic.
Many HP’s are content since several of them involve killing an bad/s, solve a riddle or clearing mobs that surrounds them unless you are lucky at the right time and they are cleared for you.
he banned a troll, wow, news worthy….
Dude, lmao, watch that again and pay attention…
He banned Colin Johanson the GW 2 BIG boss… lol
think you need to watch that video again. it wasnt really colin
Didn’t Doc say he got a twitter comment or something from someone from Anet confirming it was the real Colin Doc banned?
Edit: Form staff why hasn’t this thread been moved to community creation sub section? I made the original thread about this yesterday and it was moved quickly. As other posters above pointed another thread already exists.

I don’t think they have ever reset the TP as it would disrupt the economy not like it matters since they are going to disrupt the economy again with more changes to the mats/salvage. I know they have cleaned up the buy/sell orders before.

12:01am Anet time west cost
)
. Its going to recquire 400 hero points to unlock each elite specialization respectively so even if you have a couple of characters with full map completion you wont be able to unlock everything on day one(unless you pvp where everything will be available from the very beginning).
Many that have done map completion are already 1/2 way done to 400 HP’s so they just have to do like 20 new HP’s in the h.o.t maps while each one is worth 10 points each. No doubt it will require gliding and jumping mushrooms masteries to get to some of or most of them. Unlocking the first lvl of each isn’t all that hard so I bet there will be many will have them fully unlocked day one.
SAB sometime after h.o.t release since they will have time to work on fixing it
no.
just play the kitten game. im not nice like ^.
LOL, Well I get jumped on and infracted for the slightest hint of being rude while others attack me and nothing happens to them 9 out of 10 times.
No, and please stop being lazy in the nicest way possible, buying HP’s with gems would trump map exploring and leveling up masteries thus playing the game .
I am “working from home” tomorrow and took Monday off. MY HYPE LEVELS ARE REAL!!!!!!
Also, if you don’t want salt poisoning I would suggest staying off this forum for at least a month or so after the launch of HoT.
There is no need for hostility, if you don’t agree with other posters simply move on. That would be the mature thing to do!!!
