Because you can’t stand someone having the opposite point of view as you (Even though I’m right and you can’t grasp the meaning of this rant). Plus the fact that you say you’re trolling me and write things out in map chat only leads me to conclude that you’re a baby of the largest possible proportion.
That being said, I put you on ignore right away I could tell you needed to grow up. Even though my friends say you’re still whining in map chat. I’ve been the bigger man considering I’ll let you have your way so you don’t throw a tantrum.
I find it utterly disappointing that so simple of subject is un-graspable even by such a meager little mind as your own, and its deals yet another blow to my faith in humanity that one day you may possible bear offspring. (Though I hear things that gladly inform me that that won’t happen (crosses fingers))
I tried to be amicable with you but you went straight into a vendetta. You can reply all you want on this post, but I’ll most likely delete it. But you will remain on my ignore list seeings as I don’t have time, nor do I like children.
Was there some kind of… Ingame relationship going on between you two or what?
Because that is pretty much ripped out of context entirely.
PERSONAL Stories don’t fit into MMO’s, there are basically thousands of trahearnes out there working together with players. I like the way LOTRO handled it, you were just an adventurer helping the rangers and gandalf to defend the world from the growing evils while the Fellowship travels to mordor. I really liked that, it make me feel much more important than being trahearnes b*tch.
1) Bad for you, when I didn’t knew where I could get the cool looking stuff I was always wondering “Man that guy looks awesome, where did he get this stuff?”.
2) Downscaling is an awesome mechanic. You’re still a lot stronger than players of that level, but not strong enough so content becomes trivial. It makes world completion a lot more interesting even after hitting level 80. Sadly that is the only reason to come back to most zones.
3) No. That would just lead to a ton of frustration and interferes with Anets design philosophy of seeing random people in the open world as allies, not hostiles.
4) The World is too small and not designed for mounts. There are very little areas where there’s enough space to ride around, yet the scale of the mounts would be ridiculous on races like norn and charr. Even though the world is already not really believable, mounts would break the immerson even further.
They don’t have to be super overpowered, but they could be atleast strong enough to win a 1vs1 fight with an enemy, that video of Trahearne is just a perfect example for how weak NPCs are. It’s not about realism it’s about believability of this world. This is the first RPG I can’t get immersed because of those reasons, and I can get easily immersed, so it’s pretty sad.
It would be a lot more fun to me if NPCs would be more powerful and helpful during events. Especially in forsaken zones nobody goes in anymore with a ton of events in them that aren’t soloable, NPCs could make up for it. There are a few events where you have the option to talk to a group of NPCs to help you out, but in the end they just soak up 3 hits and then die.
Also it would be cool if in some areas with a Waypoints they could hold out longer without playerhelp before the event fails. It makes the world unbelievable if you’re a warmaster of the vigil for example, and other NPCs with the warmaster title die instantly. Should I feel proud having that title while those warmasters are as weak as a sleeping kitty?
Trahearne wielding the powerful sword Caladbolg, but dies 1v1 against a kitten risen thrall. With this huge contrast between gameplay and story, the world of gw2 will never be believable and it will stay a game instead of becoming an Adventure, the actual goal of an RPG.
People are transfering from low populated servers to the active ones, so some servers die out while the active ones grow, which I see as a good thing. There are servers with a good reputation and people want to go there, if not for the WvW aspect you can guest anyways.
The Tier 1 WvW servers are most likely the ones with high population, so for EU it would be Piken Square, Seafarers rest and Vizunah Square if you’re french.
The most populated servers on NA are Tarnished Coast, Blackgate, Jadequarry and Sanctum of Rall. I’m on Jade Quarry and it’s very populated here.
The final event of the opening Citadel of Flame event chain always spawns a lot of Flame Legion Charr that drop those bags, or the defending Event. Also you’re doing your server a little favour by opening the dungeon up.
The Storytelling sucks for a simple reason: There are no motivations.
If you want somebody to keep reading/watching/playing, you need to give him motivations to do that. A person or an Area that he can associate with. An example is the Kord of the Rings. Why it is such a good book/movie? Because Tolkien and Peter Jackson gave us the beautiful shire that needs to be defended, Frodos and Sams journey to Mordor, Aragorns fight for the throne. It is not “The Fight to save Middle earth” that keep you in the story, we don’t know much about Middle earth anyways, but we want the places we saw and the characters we got to know to survive, to continue, we want to know what happens to them.
And if you want something to be thrilling, you need to take away one of the above. Like George Martin did. We got this handsome, young King in the North Robn who fights to save his sisters and regain the honour of his house, his strong, likeable mother who fights with him. And Bam! Both dead, killed. And now everyone is hyped as hell for season 4 because we want to know what happens to the two sisters and the other brother.
We don’t have anything like this in Guild Wars 2. Sure they can’t have the same character developement level as Game of Thrones, but ONE SINGLE motivation would be enough. Characters? We got none. The members of destinys edge? You don’t know much about them without reading the book, and having to buy a book to get excited for the story ingame is stupid.
Braham? Rox? Ellen Kiel? Scarlet? Without having to read the shortstories on the website we don’t get to know much about them, they barely have ingame dialog with you, nor are they likeable. And Scarlet as a villain thrills or scares me as much as a tree in bright daylight. Unless Scarlet burns Divinities Reach and puts the Human race further towards extinction or something remotely evil, I won’t take her serious.
I can’t get excited for the elder dragons because Zhaitan sucked. The whole personal story lead to a crappy final encounter, but in the end why even do that? What precious have we lost because of him? Clarwrwrrwr Island? Our Mentor? A tribe of uncivilized creatures lost their home? All these things COULD have motivate us to go kill him, but they’re poorly done. NPCs die all the time and no one even cares. Logan and you fight Two blade pete in a bar, both of the Seraph Logan brought with him die instantly and can’t be revived, Logan doesn’t even attempt run away because nobody gives a crap.
The synchronization of gameplay and story is poorly done, not to mention the countless Sound and animation bugs in the cutscenes (Not the dialog scenes).
They have to take something away from us at this point to make us excited. Jormag freezes Queensdale and corruptes everything there. Kralkatorrik destroys the black citadel and Rytlock dies in battle. Primordus invades the Maguuma jungle. Things like that. We’ve been in these areas for a year now, we like them, I love caledon forest. If Primordus would come and burn the whole place down, I’d want to stick my sword up his dragonhole. Then they had a good motive to bring in the tengu and the story starts telling itself. It isn’t that hard.
What is mature can only be judged by a person for himself, the only thing you can do is accept the fact that others might like spark and fires without being immature or childish. Just tolerate it, dammit
Yeah uhm… I don’t know if you heard about that but… there maaaaaaay be some people that play this game to have fun, not to be the most efficent. Sounds weird to you I know, but it’s true!
Well contesting them is a motivation to free them in order to move faster around the map, but they should stay free for more than 20 minutes before the next event pops up, or it gets annoying too easily.
I absolutely cannot agree more. Look at Warrior GS, the skill setup is a mess. #4 and #5 have zero use in PvE and thus are just basically wasted slots.
In the absence of no new weapon skills, at least allow you to change out weapon skills for utility skills if you so wish.
I’d rather see an imbalanced game than a boring one.
I use warrior skill 5 to charge at a far away enemy, to close a gap, or to just move faster. The strike if you reach the target deals decent damage, more than an autoattack. And I use skill 4 everytime I whirl through the enemy with Skill 3 to cripple him.
Daylie Node farming, daylie dungeons, daylie temples, leveling alts, farming for my legendary, playing dress up with my characters, achievement hunting, living story, fractals, debating with guildies about nonsense, generally having fun with friends and all that stuff.
The fun thing is, Guild Wars 2 has enough potential to rival WoWs place at the top of the MMO Ranks, if it would develop in the right ways through the next years.
That means, if this game wouldn’t be developed only to make money, they could make much more money in a few years than they are making now with all that Gem Store crap. With the current ways of developement they’re heading in a dead end with a really pretty car.
While adventuring through Lornars Pass I noticed this. It’s like there’s some kind of factory on the other side of one of those Portals the steam creatures come from.
Gw2 Visuals and mechanics (All of them) + a graphic engine from this century + The World and Story of Lord of the Rings online + The writers of… well everything but the current ones.
There’s a section for EU too, just check the high populated servers at prime time, or start a movement on your own with a bunch of guildies. If people actually do it, then a lot of volunteers will join.
Everyone has different eyes, it’s kinda hard to make armor skins that everyone likes. But I agree on the Charr issue, I don’t know what’s driving Anet, either money or the fun of making people happy. At the moment I think it’s money, which is bad for a developer.
The biggest ones are tarnished coast, blackgate, jade quarry and a few others I can’t recall right now. But unless you’re interested in WvW you could always guest. Deleting 4 80s is a bit drastic in my opinion, well it depends on whats worth more in your opinion, time or money.
This is just a speculation, sure, but what made you think they would remove swamp, water and the ascalon fractal? What’s so bad about them, especially the Ascalon Fractal?
Well I’ve got 500 hours on Total War Shogun 2…
Best Strategy Game ever made, because the latest game of the Total War series, Rome II, pretty much flopped for me. But it’s kinda hard to tell for those 2 completly different genres if Guild Wars 2 is better as a game.
You’re searching for advice in the wrong place, this forum won’t give you the neutral pros and cons that you expect. Many people are here to complain, few to compliment and a lot of negativity flows around. Best try it out yourself.
