Guild Wars 2

critickitten.1498:

If I post a valid complaint, it shouldn’t be attacked by players who don’t understand the validity of the complaint.

It’s illogical for players to defend the game from a complaint they don’t understand.

This is a game forum, and people are going to post complaints once in a while. Don’t get your feathers ruffled because someone posts a complaint. And to the poster’s credit, he’s right: If you attack while in stealth, you should drop out of stealth instantly, regardless of whether the hit was blocked or evaded. There’s no gamble to using stealth right now, because failure is still acceptable. Making it so that a failed stealth attack still drops you out of stealth would make stealth a greater gamble in combat, and would force you to choose your opportune moment to strike instead of just spamming your stealth skills mindlessly as many thieves tend to do (especially in WvW).

Lol attacked? I was just having a laugh.

I won’t say anymore regarding thieves since I’m biased. I will however comment that thieves are in a precarious point constantly and always will be. I believe that no stealth changes should be made until culling is completely removed. Then the devs can collect their data and make changes as they see fit.

This is coming from a thief who’s only stealth skill is heal.

No, when you die, you start off at your base or a bit closer if you upgrade. This works and prevents constant chaos.

Durian.5419:

Since you aren’t aware of this: Thieves only unstealth when they successfully hit their target. If you dodge or block, they don’t unstealth, although you have made them waste initiative.

This specifically needs to be fixed.

If someone blocks you, that’s active.

It’s illogical for them to not know where you are after blocking one of your attacks.

This specifically needs to be fixed.

If I hit someone 13 times, a couple of those should have hit.

It’s illogical for me to not be able to hit you after attacking you 13 times.

This is a videogame, please don’t try to apply logic.

Completely agree. Currently there are no dagger skins that I like besides Moonshank. I just switched to s/p on my thief and got Ilya instead while I wait for a new wave of skins.

I think Jormag’s looks perfect as it is.

I don’t see how it makes it harder to balance.

I also don’t understand the whole post, what exactly is different in the rules?

They should just give us the daily and monthly as soon as we log in. Then we’d all be happy right?

No.

The t3 cultural armor is the only armor in the game that requires a bit of work to get. This has been discussed since the beginning of the game and it would be highly unfair to everyone who bought t3 if they ever reduced the price. The price remains as high as it is because it is a gold sink and it gives people something to work towards.

Work for it or don’t get it, its completely optional. Good luck.

mypupdaisy.8126:

then give other classes the ability to kill them in a couple hits also.

It is like that already. Any thief that you can’t kill in a few hits isn’t doing any damage anyways.

This sounds like a L2P issue and this also isn’t the proper forum, group it in with the hundreds of other posts in the thief subforum that don’t understand how thieves work and how to counter them.

Quit threads don’t lead to productive discussion therefore reported.

Content should never be hidden behind toll gates and I’m very glad that Anet does not do this.

I would like more cosmetic armor and weapons and cool little things like the box o’ fun.

Expansions are content that is paid for. Anet will have them for GW2. So those are “toll gates” to you I guess.

Expansions and just a feature in the gem store are completely different to me. Regardless I would be buying it but I would rather see other things added to it.

From the first beta weekend to now, roughly ~700 hrs later. It’s been a quite a ride that’s for sure.

A big thank you Anet for all of the awesome memories your game has created.

No.

Sounds like a single player game to me.

You simply can’t have a highly sought after items like a legendary achieved through these means in an MMO. Sure it all sounds cool on paper, but when everyone can achieve a legendary, it’s not legendary at all. (inb4 you deny that, sorry but its a fact)

And say you make it hard enough that only 10% of the games population can progress through it. Well, all those months of hard work are wasted because it’s gated content. You’ll have every casual and their grandmother up in arms about how it’s impossible to beat and that they want it changed. It will be 10x more complaining then there ever was. Then inevitably it will show up in the laurels vendor and then we’re worse off then when we started.

darkace.8925:

First, I’ll remind you that everyone has a Legendary, they become legendary in name only.

Now, to your request for ideas. I would have given a token at the end of the player’s personal story (dungeons excluded). I would have made these tokens once per account, and allowed players to trade them in for a precursor of their choice.

So what your saying is that every single account that goes through the laughably easy story just once gets to have a precursor?

Are you serious right now?

This thread was laid to rest a long time ago. Please don’t necro useless threads.

wah wah wah why cant veterans drop exotics every time!

All the DR complainers and “no loot” complainers obviously have no clue how an economy is run. Be prepared for your gold to be absolutely worthless and prices to skyrocket if for some reason Anet gives in to your demands. It’s a shame the forums are infested with you guys.

Ned Stark.9356:

Take your time and money elsewhere. I’m moving to Neverwinter Online.

Ned Stark… Winter is.. never coming?

Oh look, the regular forum trolls have come a knockin’. It’s like you guys actually don’t have a life.

Seriously, don’t trust anything that’s said here. Try it again if you want and see if you like it. Or don’t. It’s up to you.

I disagree with this thread/opinion

While it would be funny to gather all of your friends and create a forest, I disagree with putting rare things like this in the gemstore, which would trivialize the effect of it. Everyone and their grandmother would have it and it just wouldn’t have the same effect.

I’m commenting on the title.

It’s you, not Arenanet, who are at fault for expecting this game to be exactly the way you want it.

I suggest a title change if you want anyone to take what you have to say seriously.

BaconCatTheGreasy.9542:

All I hear is “whaaa they nerfed my op build”.

This.

Most of the time they don’t “break” builds, they balance them, so I really see no reason why it’s a big deal to change. I think it’s good that people are dissuaded from jumping from 1 FOTM build to the next.

Also, just have multiple sets of gear.

Christos de Soufre.3802:

You may lack understanding of what a gear treadmill really is.

Don’t even try to explain it, half the people on this forum just don’t get it or don’t want to see reason.

It’s coming, don’t worry.

Daecollo.9578:

Aesthetics and game mechanics arn’t the same, the effect can always be changed to something else.

Half the reason I use the sigil is so I can see the awesome flame effect. I didn’t say it was an unnecessary effect, just that seeing it every second would be too much.

Daecollo.9578:

I said before, it would not be the same damage, it would be reduced by a lot to go with what it currently is, but be a lot funner to use.

Flameblast
Damage: 84
Radius: 450

Honestly, I would no longer use any of the visible weapon procs if the cooldown was removed. It would be ridiculously annoying to see fire blasts going off every single time I hit an enemy, not to mention people around me hitting enemies. This would not be fun at all.

Dante.1508:

If the game follows this tier / Ascended / WoW clone direction its currently following i doubt i’ll stay here, its not fun and its another generic version of every other mmorpg made to date, i played Guildwars 1 because it wasn’t like WoW and all of its clones..ever made..

It has been confirmed that there won’t be any new tiers added. Contrary to what the purists like to believe, it was stated that ascended was supposed to be implemented on launch but was not ready. As such, it’s been released now. Considering that they’re going to start letting you earn ascended gear in many other ways, there is no gear grind.

This will make sigils useless on any build not going full precision, and make it way too OP on full crit builds. /myopinion

TESO.. Are people still thinking that that game won’t be littered with game breaking bugs for years? Just like every single other game that Studio has released.
I mean, they’re great games and everything, Morrowind still remains my second favorite game I’ve ever played, but seriously, those games were filled with bugs and this will be their first time designing an MMO.
As for this games future, I think 6 months is still way too early to come to any conclusions about it.

FYI TESO is being made by Zenimax not Bethesda so before you even begin to say anything negative about TESO do some research your clearly just spouting nonsense.

Oblivion
Skyrim
Fallout
Last I checked Zenimax was involved on all of those games. All of them were full of bugs. Excuse me if I forgot Zenimax wasn’t onboard for Morrowind, it was only about 7 years ago that I played it last. What research am I supposed to be doing? Anything regarding that game is just speculation at this point obviously, but the trend seems to be that both Zenimax/Bethesda games are not bug free. It’s not a bad thing, it’s just a fact of life. If they pull up their pants and do it right, well then awesome, you can count me on board for giving it a shot, but I’m not holding my breath.

Incoming Gangnam Style in every single part of LA if this is ever implemented.

Kakeru.2873:

Well I doubt a Guild leader would up and leave his whole guild like that let’s be reasonable here. 9 times out of 10 that decision would be unanimous between the guild leader and his/her members.

As you know guild tend to force guild members communicate as it’s a guild, like a social community of players.

That’s a very naive thing to say. I’ve seen guild leaders clear banks, kick lower level or people who are unable to play for real life things, and all manner of unpleasantries. Unfortunately, people do shady things when they’re masked behind a computer screen. I wouldn’t doubt that this would happen all the time considering just how little people seem to care about each other in this game.

Battista.4392:

therefore i need to wait for 7 days, pay the transfer, switch back for bank stuff, wait another 7 days, switch back again with payment… painful solution. what about making a second account on blacktide and invite to guild to get the stuff from bank? is that allowed or even possible? two accounts on one game copy? bought 2 games those days for me and my wife, dont want a third one.

No, your account is linked to your game copy. There is only 1 allowed. You could also have a trusted member of your guild on Blacktide mail the items to you, but you do so under your own discretion.

I understand your frustration but we knew that payed server switches were coming weeks ago. The information on server transferring in regards to the guild bank was also readily available.

I would assume so. I made a huge profit buying up thousands of bones for 16c and dumping them for 1s30ish a few days later.

You’ll have to switch back to the server and get it from the guild bank.

We must find them all!

Well, I can finish a zone every hour, so it wouldn’t really be that much.

However, after 400ish hours playing, I’m still at 75%

Vinny.6924:

I have noted this a lot. We all know the ways out of trouble. If you’re solo and run into a group you can quick WP out. But a lot of people don’t know about it and honestly aren’t quick enough to do it

Yet over the last 2 weeks it has been so frequent, I have been wondering if people are bottinf in wvw. I have seen groups “WP out”. When im in a group and meet another we stay and fight unless seriously out numbered. By group I meam around 5 people. It is a growing issue.

A commander “waypointing” out?

Stay classy I guess.. Glad I’m not on your server.

Nappychappy.7046:

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

I replied to who ever saying a “capable group could take them out” which it couldn’t because they probably could not catch them and do enough damage to kill them before they ported again, CC doesn’t matter either, bots will just ruin the experience. I am sure who ever runs the bots check every once in a while to make sure they are all alive ect.

It’s been me and you chatting this whole time and it most certainly has nothing to do with the tea in China.

If all they do is port away, what difference does that make? You’re the one who brought up porting bots btw, OP said nothing about them.

The mini does not refresh with new characters, only the ring and banker do. however, you cannot put the bank in storage, create a new character and then use it on the new character.

Nappychappy.7046:

Jrunyon.3012:

Nappychappy.7046:

No matter how capable your group is, your not going to destroy a group of teleporting bots.

That’s not the way bot teleporting works. The worst that will happen is they just teleport away when the program tells them to.

^ Wha?

That is exactly how it works, they port to x location do x action, then port to next location.

They port to x location, the program presses f to gather mats, and then on a timer it ports them to the next place they need to be. It doesn’t and can’t port them, use xyz combo, dodge, down whoever they’re fighting and then port away. There is no possible way that a bot could fight to the degree a human can in an online game.

Revan.6259:

True, however, since he only has a preview picture, I’m assuming that means he couldn’t find someone who actually has one to take screens, meaning that it could have particle effects and he might not know about it.

*She

Revan.6259:

However, that picture of the Stygian sword is just a preview, so it could have particle effects that aren’t showing up in that picture.

Granted, but its also not listed in the swords with particle effects list, and with how reputable Dulfy is, this would be noticed and fixed.

bomber.1540:

hi has anyone crafted the stygian or unpoken curse swords?

I know i can view the preview but that doesnt show you the full effect.. is there any particles or glow, or are they just a green sword and a red/orange sword?

http://dulfy.net/2012/12/06/gw2-sword-skins-gallery/

There are no particle effects on either sword.

I don’t understand. What does all botted up mean?
What exactly were they doing to make you think they were bots. Is the only proof you have that they moved like bots?
I really don’t see how it could effect server scores as these bots would easily be destroyed by any capable group of a few people.

Revan.6259:

Why do any other content when frac runs are so lucrative in comparison?

Because other stuff is more fun?[/quote]

Don’t even bother man, these people don’t care how much fun they have as long as they get their phat lewtz at the end.

Look it’s smiling

Czar Peter.7961:

True, but that’s not the point. The “level cap” in Eve is way higher than GW2 and you can buy expensive equipment to give yourself a small edge, but the point is nothing in Eve makes you unreservedly stronger than newer players. Progression in Eve (and GW1) is about unlocking more gameplay options, not about grinding for higher numbers like in GW2.

Cool story bro, why donèt you go play that game instead of trolling these forums
