Guild Wars 2

I like your idea Inkubus!

I’d also love to see an expansion of your idea into some sort of randomized map, endless dungeon implementation. I mean the Fractals are sort of a simplified version of this idea. In fact when I was first reading about the Fractals this is exactly what I thought they were doing.

A dungeon that gets more difficult the deeper you go? Awesome! But it turns out it’s not quite like that. So a future addition of a dungeon that is open to all levels that gets more and more difficult the deeper you go would be incredible.

Maybe at the entry point an NPC examines your party to determine where you should start. Low level characters would start at the beginning and can try and work their way down as far as possible whereas a level 80 party would be given the option to teleport to level 40 of the dungeon or something.

Or it could just tailor the dungeon experience based on party level from the start. Dungeon level 1 for a party of level 10s would be tailored to challenge that level range, but a party of level 80s would have suitable challenge in level 1 for them.

I’m sure all that would be more difficult than the Inkubus’ idea. So maybe a future future addition.. lol.

I like the idea of being able to use the marketplace remotely. Add on crafting and other inventory management too and it’d be nice. (Possibly require the char to have logged out in a town, or pay a small fee to warp char to town, equivalent to rough waypoint cost)

Yeah I’d be doing a lot more crafting if I could do it on my phone!

Wow, thanks for that link. Very intriguing! Would love to hear some more information on this and what else they plan on doing with it.

I guess I’m sort of Zish but feel some of the others apply to me a bit as well.

I’m not obsessed with finding the “best” gear or with having the “best” build. I tend to have many alts and never a true “main” because I like to experience all the game has to offer. I don’t let the perceptions of other players determine how much fun I have.

I enjoy pretty much all PvE content. Overland PvE, DEs, vistas, exploring is all fun. I love dungeons, but I wish it was possible to solo or duo/trio them. I dislike the hassle of trying to find a full group. I dislike that when you do you often get people that want to rush to the end rather than enjoy the content.

I also enjoy WvW but feel like most people take it way too seriously. I enjoyed the days of DAoC where you could go PvE with the threat of PvP always looming over you, or hunting down others that were there to PvE. In GW2 there’s some PvE in the WvW but you’re shunned by your server if you’re not throwing yourself against the walls of a tower.

sPvP isn’t my bag of tea really. If I’m with a group of friends that enjoy it I’ll still have a great time doing it with them, but it’s definitely not my favorite thing to do.

Considering the game is so new I don’t expect there to be a reduction in the box price any time soon. And with how popular and well selling it is I don’t expect them to open up any trials soon either.

Sorry!

I can just sign this.

In the Old games there was allways long term progresion like the"Godlike Equipment in Ragnarok where you had to keep your carstle no matter what.
This keept the game running for over 10 years. Most MMOs nowdays die in less then a year.

Was it FFXIV that MMO without PVP. It failed after the first 2 month. The thing that keeps most player is PVP or spezific RVR. Large Battles with huge numbers where also small groups can do good is what a game keeps running but seeing A-net supprised at how “popular” WvWvW was i doup that there are any real DAOC players in A-net.

FFXIV failed not because of lack of PVP but because it was a horrible game. There are plenty of games that have been around a long time that have PVE as the focus. I like PVP in games but it’s not PVP that keeps games around. The PVP only population in MMOs is a smaller percentage of total population.

That’s why you see more MMOs that are PVE-centric with a smaller PVP capability. Look at this game. You think they made a large PVE world, dungeons, events, etc. and a small PVP area because most their players are hardcore PVPers?

Doom and gloom people will hopefully one day ask themselves if they’re having fun right now in game. If they are, then how is adding stuff that they don’t even have to bother with going to stop that fun unless they allow it to stop their fun?

Hmm, I have a fresh install of Windows 8 Pro on a desktop and laptop that play GW2 just fine, so it’s not specifically Windows 8 as the issue.

Of course we have to ask the usual, obvious questions… Did you try updating your video drivers? If you have a discrete sound card did you update those drivers? Did you try right clicking the launcher and select “Run as admin”?

Is your GW2 install a fresh one since you installed Windows 8, or from your previous Windows installation? I believe there’s a local.dat file somewhere that you can delete. Believe it’s at Documents\Guild Wars 2\local.dat. Not sure where on Windows 8 you’ll find that.

Me personally my next step, if none of that helped, would be re-installing GW2. And just because I’m stubborn if that didn’t work I’d try re-installing Windows 8.. lol.
