Guild Wars 2

I’m wondering this as well. After saving up a couple thousand hoping for new rewards or cooler stuff to buy, it doesn’t seem likely now that they are handing them out like candy.

Yeaaaah, how about no.

There is a lengthy thread about armor issues in the bugs forum so this should really go there.

It’s tiered, so yes tomorrow will have better stuff.

*Edited because I’m not so sure we all did get the same things, I only assumed.

Avatara.1042:

Also I love how you just dismiss new players holding onto anything.

It got dismissed because what the hell does it even mean? What do you mean they can’t hold on to anything? They have numerous bag slots available to them, including a few extra bag slots. This conversation could be had if Anet only offered 1 bag slot and the rest you had to buy, but as it stands it is completely non issue.

Jrunyon.3012:

Yup, someone should invest 500g because this guy over here thinks they won’t be released.

As I said, they haven´t been released in this patch.

And nobody bought the tonic. And I can almost guarantee that no one will until eventually it is released/found.

Lol it’s called transmutation crystals. Why would they intentionally shoot themselves in the foot like that?

Your so called negatives:
1. Some content is removed, not all. There is permanent additions.
2. A cohesive story would actually prevent players from jumping in at any time. I don’t feel that I missed anything by skipping the whole Aetherblades storyline.
3. I loved the wings and the molten gloves. You obviously are expecting way too much of such a small team.
4. Completely your opinion, I thought Southsun looked awesome.
5. Why would they release new races and classes through free updates? Those changes should be reserved for expansions.

Perhaps it’s time for you to just sit back and enjoy the content that you’re getting instead of demanding more. Anet will update their game as they see fit and you can either sit back and have fun or quit. Patronizing Anet like it’s a small child that needs to seek your approval is not the way to go about getting your suggestions noticed.

Invest better in endless multicolored Ooze tonic. There is one at tp one of the 2 tonics that were given by mistake. I think that they aren´t going to be released at next patch, so when it sells there won´t be more endless ooze tonics.

Yup, someone should invest 500g because this guy over here thinks they won’t be released.

Downed state should be removed in WvW and sPvP. It is fine in PvE.

Avatara.1042:

Bag and bank space should be bought with gold, not gems.

What are you even talking about? This is the first MMO I have ever played where you are even able to buy gem store things with gold. Who are you to say what Anet can put in their store.

So wait, what happens to the ones listed on the Trading Post?

Is this thread really necessary when there is numerous threads already, a third party alternative that works quite well, and threads where dev’s have stated it is in the works?

Just saying.

That’s no longer a daily, that’s a weekly. And on top of that, you’re suggesting that you get multiple laurels that you missed even if you just finish one daily?

DelusionsOfGrandeur.9287:

I noticed that you guys have made an axe with unlimited charges (though it’s a limited time only item, for some reason), and that got me thinking about other potential things which could be made infinite.

What I personally would like to see would be permanent versions of those potions that let you transform into different stuff, which can be turned on and off in the same way as minipets. I’ve bought transform potions from the market before, but I kinda begrudge using money on something that’s only going to last a few minutes…

Does anyone else like this idea… or am I the only one who actually cares about it at all?

There are plenty of endless tonics already in the game (I have quite a few of them myself)

When it comes to decisions like that, Anet isn’t in charge.

Not only is it a bad idea, but there is also no way ncsoft would allow that to happen. Ever.

Adry.7512:

a game is a game? no man ur wrong, a game has several things that makes you wana keep playing. depending on the genre, there plentyyy and of thing. like i said b4, dont give a comment unless its actually thoughtful, plz.

So in other words, don’t reply if you don’t agree with me?

He isn’t wrong, in fact he made an excellent point.

szqec.5762:

This is what you do in WvW: you join a zerg, get some supplies, run around the map, capture towers and keeps only to be recaptured, occasionally killing or being killed.

No. Thats what you do. Please don’t generalize like that.

I don’t think it’s really possible to have truly challenging content anymore. You just can’t put cool rewards behind hard but fun challenges and not expect everyone to have them. Every single challenging instance is broken down and guides get posted on the internet in hours. Exploits are found, abused and later patched but the damage is done.

Most of us live in a society where every single person is rewarded, even if we lost/didn’t put in any effort. This mindset unfortunately carries over to most games, and when people don’t get their daily pat on the back for just existing, they get angry.

/myopinion

It’s just.. not out yet

Forestnator.6298:

Not that helpful good sir.

Yeah! The only way to beat thieves is to get Anet to nerf them in to non play and then delete them! That will show them!

Somebody has obviously never played WvW if they think this game has no endgame.

Because the hit detection in this game really isn’t that great. I’d imagine if this was implemented, there would be numerous problems of skills not working/getting stuck/stopping halfway like there already is with shadowsteps. It’s best to just leave it as is.

Thief. After 1000+ hours as my only character it’s so hard to go back to clunky cooldowns and lack of mobility. I’m giving it a shot with warrior and will probably roll a mesmer, so we’ll see how that goes.

You mean none of those 6 – 8 players had ANY cc at all?

DeWolfe.2174:

Thieves have the highest burst, stealth, and mobility. No class should have all 3. Not while defense and healing are pitifully imbalanced compared to damage output. Thieves should have had the lowest burst in the game.

Think about it, do you ever think of someone being stealthy, nimble, fast, and strong??? NO! Thieves should kill by a thousand little bee stings while zipping in and out of stealth. Not stealth in a burst down in a couple of HUGE hits. It’s just illogical.

And what about those of us who don’t use any stealth at all? Nerf our damage completely because people don’t know how to avoid backstabs?

Got one as a drop from another player in WvW

How about make your own build that you want to play rather than listen to min/maxers that supposedly think things are viable/un-viable.

Find something that works for you and if you like it, stick with it.

I don’t think you have ever actually played a thief. Don’t make suggestions when you know nothing of what you’re talking about.

I would absolutely love to be able to paint a model of my character. +1

They reduced thiefs pistol whips damage by 15% (it’s now on par with the autoattack chain) due to people using it with quickness, but have not brought it back up to compensate for the quickness nerf.

Also as you said, critical haste needs to be fixed.

This is already in effect. I don’t know how to activate it (I de-activated it months ago) but it makes you put in a set of numbers on your phone before you can log in.

notebene.3190:

Yep, it was because I had set full screen mode to have the gamma all the way up, and apparently Fraps is using those settings when it’s recording, even though I’m in full screen windowed. I set it back to the default of 1.0 and it looks great.

Sorry about that, and thank you.

Glad your problem is fixed

Fraps works fine for me. Are you using the trial version or full version? Also, I’m not exactly sure if fraps works in windowed mode so that could be a problem.

Also, are you by any chance using sweetfx or any other graphic enhancing tool?

I play a S/P Thief, in a duo/group roam setting in WvW, in full zerker and no access to stealth except through blast finishers, which we make use of quite often for surprise attacks.

I am the very opposite of FOTM, but I love how my character plays and I can dish out pretty decent damage.

It’s kind of unfortunate how common they are. I did not expect them to be so common and wasted a lot of money buying it so early, but oh well.

OP, I doubt these will rise that much due to the shatterer wings being handed out in the next few days. Everyone who wanted the wings already bought them, and people on the fence will most likely be getting the freebie ones. Buy a couple if you want but don’t expect any profit for a long long time.

Blame it on the massive number of people who exploited the game through the use of consumables.

You did get a skin for free, it’s the dragon helm.

RNG is RNG, either try your luck or don’t.

How about no./15char

Rukh.9287:

Actually what you can do in an MMO is you can make a desirable expensive thing that takes money out of the economy. So people don’t HAVE to buy it, but lots will, and it doesn’t effect people with less money who can’t afford it. It works quite well.

T3 cultural, Commander Sigil etc. It’s all there, and it still gets complained about. IMO they need to implement some more but that’s just me.

If you don’t feel the skins are worth the RNG aspect to it, why are you worried about it? As someone who dropped 200$ trying to get a fused skin but didn’t get one, I know how you feel, but I’ve since stopped buying them and if everyone else did that they would stop selling them like that.

Galtrix.7369:

My server is nearly dead as well. I rarely see anyone on Gate of Madness, because people started quitting GW2 left and right on my server. I’d be lucky to see two people in 5 hours nowadays. I swear, the entire server must have had a meeting and decided to quit GW2 right then and there and I wasn’t invited.

Funny how you guys still manage to accumulate good numbers for WvW.

Why does everyone always say their server is dead when it clearly isn’t?

With the amount of complaining these forums hear daily, do you really think that’s a likely thing to happen?

Better get the kleenex ready if it does.

Vayne.8563:

I find standing on one foot, naked, while eating cornchips with salsa works for me. Though I had to try several different brands of salsa before I found the right combo.

Salsa!? Of course! It makes perfect sense now.

Learn to use your stunbreakers and mitigate attacks properly. This isn’t a game where you can just stand in one place spamming 1

Nah, if you’re warrior you spam 2 instead…

Never played warrior so not sure what you mean, but if you mean 100b I do believe that needs to be balanced in PvE to other class skills.

Not as far as I know, I believe those were taken out last patch.

Michaeas Magister.1589:

I will have to agree with the OP. Knockdowns/knockbacks/stuns are way to common in this game. Many of the holographic MoBs only highlight this issue more.

Sure, I can just load all of my utility slots with anti-crowd control skills. After all, I did not want any kind of choice in my selection of utility skills.

Oh, wait…

I have two dodge moves I can also use. Good thing the holographic MoBs are not transparent and are easy to see.

Oh, wait…

Well, at least I know that after I have used my dodge moves and all of my utility skills to help me avoid the crowd control that at the least those crowd control skills will be on long cooldowns and won’t be spammable.

Oh, wait…

Did you bother to attack in the meantime? They should be dead at that point.

red.2387:

Fun is an extremely important part of a game experience. No one wants to play a game where every build for every class feels weak and useless.

So instead you want YOUR build to be overpowered while everyone else suffers under your ultimate dominance? How is that fun for anyone else but you?

That mini’s don’t follow at your run speed and instead lag behind and port to you. Also that they don’t stay equipped.

Seriously, it’s a quick fix, why is this still happening?
