Guild Wars 2

Agemnon.4608:

(snip) this person’s horrible idea

Just…no.

From what I can tell, (and IMO, of course) the driving force behind EVERY SINGLE THING in this game (lately) is gems. How do you buy extra bag slots to contain the insane amount of crap this game now throws at you? Gems. Bank space? Gems. Gems gems gems.

“Maybe if we give them more crap, they’ll spend money on gems for bag space!”
“Word. Let’s do it.”

Since I would enjoy this as well, let’s try to get this noticed…

IMAGINE THE FIRST-PERSON E-SPORTS POTENTIAL! WOWZERS!
there isn't any. but e-sports.

When I tried the JP the first few times, I thought the exact same way. “Eff this, why should such an annoying piece of fecal matter be a gate, blocking progress towards a skin?”
But then I actually really tried to do it, and I’ll tell ya what worked for me.

Snowflake Section: Choose a path, repeat until muscle memory. Doesn’t take too long.

Explody Gift Section: Wait until the middle gift in the first line (NOT the blue gifts) spawns, then jump to it, and spam that space bar so that you jump straight up the middle line of gifts.

Boulder/Snowball/Whatever Section: Use the peppermints to get out of the way of the boulders. Watch for Skritt attacks, which will be indicated by a big red ground AoE circle!

Final Section: Once you get here, you SHOULD be in the clear. Unless you have awful lag/input delay (which I had a few times…I even failed the very last jump before completing it because my character wouldn’t move forward when I pressed W!) you should be in the clear.

Hope this will help SOMEONE out there…unless every single player in the game already knows how to do it, and it’s just a matter of reflexes/other things.

wolfer.1587:

Spend utility/trait slots for movement

Human character here, and I, too, feel like my run speed was decreased.

I will +1 the YOLOMouse suggestion…it’s quite difficult to lose a giant neon pink cursor on my screen!

I think that’s a horrible idea, honestly.

IMO, Adventures should all be instanced, similar to Punch-O-Matic or the Scrap Rifle Field Test, and available at all times. That way, if people just want to do the adventure over and over and over again, they would have the freedom to, and wouldn’t be taking up space if people are trying to do the meta.

They’re actually hellbent on REDUCING “visual noise” at the moment…

Don’t worry, they’re changing the fail-to-win aspects soon™.

Sheobix.8796:

I spent 5 minutes on GW2 today, and it didn’t make me mad, it made me sad.

I really used to enjoy the game. Now it’s just… awkward and clunky.

GW2 has become a chore MMO.

This is exactly how I feel.
I feel sad, because this game used to be so flippin’ amazing.
I took a break for a year, and came back for HoT. I was burnt out after two weeks. Two weeks…of NEW CONTENT! As someone who played GW1 since release, and GW2 since release, the current state of the game hits people like me the hardest, since I KNOW this game used to be great, and I KNOW it still has the potential to be great, but right now, it feels like nothing.

Lol… I bet someone’s getting fired tomorrow morning!

Same issue here, same speed, same everything. What the quack is going on?

There is a chest that spawns at the Ley-Line Confluence WP after a successful TD meta event…this may be a silly question, but did you loot it?

Lately I’ve noticed that Leader of the Pact III only increases my speed for a few seconds, before shutting off.
The buff is still there, but my run speed is at a snail’s pace, aka “normal.”

Anyone else having this problem?

Good night, sweet prince! :’(

Kit.3986:

If it makes the lives of players easier, why not? Player satisfaction is sort of important to consider.

When has THAT ever been part of ANet’s business model?

blazinfury.8504:

So basically you’re suggesting is a build template system, that we have all been asking for……

Not to mention suggesting that it be gated behind gold/gems/cash.

I’m sure they’re fixing the fact that, even after completing it, subsequent bacon tastings continued to reward 10k+ experience.

You’re not allowed to have your experience. No sir. That goes against the ToS.

Devildoc.6721:

Oh would you look at that, anet hired someone from Nexon to run the GW2 store.

…did they really do that?

I’m wondering just WHAT it’s gonna take to drive this point (and many others) home for ANet…especially if they get so teary-eyed at the truth.

Got the gold time (1:20 exactly) on A Fungus Among Us. Did not get the gold rewards, the achievement, or the Mastery Point.

Straight outta the Williamsburg section of Divinity’s Reach.
All that’s missing are the Wide-Rimmed Glasses, which ANet simply refuses to bring back.

In one simple, evil word…“No.”

Beckett.9371:

Bring back Stalwart and Tribal armors

Seconded.

dylan.5409:

they still cant rez/stomp/take a point/win a 1v1.
Its still just find a ledge and pew pew

Those are the terribads the OP is talking about. Not all LB Rangers play like that.
Although I do agree that the influx of people who think, “Gee whiz, I can plink plink 2 plink plink and win!” is making people hate ALL Rangers…even the ones who faithfully played the class before the buffs.

I personally don’t hate Skyhammer… I DO, however, hate the fact that EVERY SINGLE QUEUE POP I’ve had in the last couple of days has taken 10+ minutes, and is Skyhammer every time.

Right now, I’m in a guild that, IMO, became about quantity over quality. There’s like, 400-something members, maybe 1-2% of which actually chat and do things with everyone.
Sure, people are always doing things, but they all have their little cliques, whether they were already a close-knit group from a guild that got eaten by the bigger guild, or they’re just a bunch of dingalings who are anti-social. I dunno. I don’t ask.

I’m a pretty active player…I usually log on every day, even if it’s only for an hour or two.
I have a level 80 in every class except Ele, because I deleted my Ele. I main Ranger (I was a Ranger before it was cool, I swear!) but also mess around on Thief and Engi a good chunk of the time.

As the old adage goes, “Size DOES matter.” I’m not looking for another humongous guild. I’d rather be in a guild with 30-40 social, active, fun people than in a guild with 9001 random people who, without asking, suddenly got a guild invite in their G-window and decided to accept.

Jade Quarry ONLY…mainly for WvW reasons. I wanna be able to run around in WvW with my guildies. I have been with JQ since headstart, and I have no intentions of ever transferring to a different server. JQ is like that pair of comfortable slippers that, no matter how old, raggy, or chewed up by the dog they get, will still be your favorite pair.

Oh, also, I have a pretty dirty sense of humor. I know when NOT to say dirty stuff, but I don’t wanna have to censor myself 100% of the time. So yeah, there’s that. 18+ preferred.

One last thing – I’m looking for PvX. Like, actual PvX. Not just a guild that SAYS they’re PvX, but then nobody does dungeons, or nobody likes to run around in WvW. You don’t have to have a dedicated WvW division or a dedicated anything, but I just like to do a little bit of everything. I’m definitely not looking for anything super-hardcore (i.e. I’m gonna have to solo dungeons and cap SM by myself just to be considered) but I don’t want anything super-casual either.

Thank you for reading my wall of text. I feel like I put pretty much everything out on the table. If, after careful consideration, you feel like you could use a gangsta like me in your guild, let me know!

*I’m not actually disgruntled. Well, I am, but not in a dangerous way. I’m not gonna go outside and push anyone into traffic or anything like that.

The renown heart “Assist the Blood Legion” in Diessa Plateau is bugged. You cannot interact with any of the mines.

FuthaMuka.3509:

I can’t believe Anet are the same company that created GW1 .

They aren’t the same ANet.

Race: BEARDED Human
Sex: Male (I hope…)
Armor: Adventurer’s Scarf/Mantle

My mantastic beard clips right through them!

I was just about to make a post about this…my Ranger’s beard of doom is poking right through it. If hats makes characters bald, things like this should make them clean-shaven so it doesn’t look ridiculous.

Because he’s a lunatic salad who also contradicts the game’s mechanics by dual-classing!

I just dashed right into him, and once the dash ended, it brought his shield down!

My Ranger, Grumpy Woodsman!

Helm: Magnus’s Right Eye Patch
Shoulders: Mist Walker Shoulders
Chest: Rubicon Coat
Gloves: Rubicon Gloves
Legs: Mist Walker Leggings
Boots: Rubicon Boots

Git you some and dunk on ’em.

Dunked on Liadri with my regular Ranger build…SO much easier compared to last year. Used Hunter’s Shot to drop aggro when I had no endurance. That’s…it.

The answer is, “Nay.” You actually answered your own question.

SeNoZinD.9874:

Infinite continue coin here I come. -_-

Quickfoot Katana.8642:

Tribulation mode can only be completed with infinite contiune coin.

This is exactly why OP said “Oh wait.”

I loved SAB the first time around…it was fun and challenging.
World 2 has completely ruined it for me.

Can’t wait for World 3, though, where everything one-shots you and insta-kill ground AoE’s cover the entire zone every few seconds.

I believe the ramp-up in difficulty has something to do with the Infinite Continue Coin in the gem shop.

-adjusts tin foil hat-

This is my Warrior, Joshua Bear.

Doggie.3184:

are they gonna add a male version one day? :P

With the amount of emphasis on the “anatomy” of the female watchknight, the changes to make it a male would have to be pretty big.

Dark Jericho.8609:

I’m also still waiting on when they make this game less CPU/more GPU intensive.

I’m waiting for this too. Maybe they can make pigs fly while they’re at it!

Like the title says, if you pop your Infinite JLo Tonic, and then get downed, it removes the effect, and you’re still stuck with the 30 minute cooldown.

T-T

There’s only one important question I have…
While Scarlet was busy going to all three Asuran colleges, making shady deals with the Molten Alliance and the Aetherblade Pirates, and generally becoming a psychotic, stereotypical supervillain…

Boolet.2968:

So I just went around to what would be my 8th completion, a repeat of Blazeridge, when this happened….

Your guild’s name. I love it. Katamari Damacy <3

I got it by hopping from portal to portal. I stayed at each one for ~1-2 minutes killing as many things as I could, then ported to a different one.

If you see a gold/silver/bronze medal pop up, that means you participated enough and it’ll count towards the achievement.

Lord Faren is not dead…
However, I would love to see Trahearne die, and I’m sure many, MANY other people would as well.

Just beat her as a Warrior, probably took me ~150 tries. More like 75 if you don’t count deaths due to framerate drops/lag.

0/30/30/0/10; Rabid gear; S/Sh & Longbow.

Let me just say, as frustrating as fighting her over and over and over again and losing was, the feeling of satisfaction you get when you see that [expletive deleted] drop makes it all worth it.
