Has Guild Wars 2 been worth your $60.00?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Karizee.8076

Karizee.8076

Absolutely!
Best $60 for a game I ever spent.

Hit 80 4 weeks ago, still haven’t run out of things to do, make new friends and see new content everyday.

Dear ArenaNet, take a survey

Good Morning!

Please consider using player surveys before making any changes to the core design philosophies of the game. We know there is a vocal minority that makes its presence felt on any game forum, I trust the ArenaNet team knows that they do not represent the majority of people that are playing and loving the game.

PS – Love the game <3

Cataclysm sold 4.7m copies.
GW2 opens and sells 2m.
Mists of DailyPandaCraft launches and sells 2.7m.

They did say that taking Orr would require massive amounts of players, it’s really not designed for solo questing.

WoW only managed to sell their expac to 1/4 their playerbase?

That’s pretty sad.

Considering GW2 had to halt sales due to overwhelming response, I think the folks at ANet (and the playerbase!) are thrilled

Mounts!

Karizee.8076

I understand that initial impulse of wanting mounts after having them in other games, believe me, the first day I played GW2 I felt a twinge after completing a heart or event and by habit hitting the key that used to hold my mount macro. I had over 120 mounts in “that other game” and was quite proud of my collection.

But after playing this game for a couple days, the sheer brilliance of this design decision started to sink in.

If I was on a mount, I would be far less likely to stop and help another player if they were getting overwhelmed by a mob and infinitely less likely to stop, dismount and rez a dead player only to remount and ride off. What would hapkitten people would just ride on by, intent on their destination and leave that player to languish.

This affects the entire culture of the game.

One of the reasons I am loving this game so much is the community, the sense of us fighting things together, not in competition with each other. We aren’t stealing each other’s nodes, loots, or mobs. We aren’t riding by on a mount, impervious to the danger another player is facing.

Systems in game design affect how the players act and react. They can create or destroy communities.

We currently have the best MMO community that I’ve ever seen. Mounts would ruin that.

how to use a mini pet???

Double-click the pet icon to spawn the pet.
It will despawn once you change zones, but you can spawn him again.

Adding my support and kudos to the peeps at ANet!

I remember reading a dev blog awhile back, it said you guys had thick skins and were ready for launch. I was thinking hoo boy, I hope they do have thick skins because we’ve all seen what happens when any game launches these days.

Overall I’ve had a stellar experience playing this game, have played it more than any other game (sleep, I miss you so!), have met some of the greatest people and had some of the most unique, fun, surprising, thoughtful and memorable experiences than any other MMORPG. I always walk away from my game sessions smiling

The people who understand what you’re doing here, the ones that “get it” are ecstatic with this gem of game – it truly is a work of art.

I’m impressed with the hardworking dedication and steadfast vision of the ANet team, keep up the good work and know you have our support!

Did you know that you can go into the Mists and respec for free to try out different builds/weapons/stats? Good way to test things before you spend any silvers.

On 9/19/12 I attempted to purchase some gems with ingame gold.
The first attempt did not go through so I tried it again.
That attempt failed also.
Later in the day I noticed I was missing the exact amount of gold that I used to make those purchases, however I did not recieve the gems.

Dungeons in WoW are a joke. Loot hallways is a more apt description.
Not even a remote chance of dying unless you’re afk.

I hit 80 a couple days ago and still only 46% map completion, there’s a ton of zones I haven’t entered yet and I’ve barely scratched the surface in dungeons. I have 902 achievement points and countless jump puzzles left to solve. My dye collection isn’t looking too shabby at 152 dyes and I have tailoring up to 350.

Game is stunning gorgeous, a true work of art. Exploration is amazing, I’m continually delighted with the things and places I find. And the world boss dragon fights! That’s how they are supposed to be done!!

Sure I’ve encountered a couple bugs but I’m not stressed about it, it’s expected when you launch a MMO this massive. I report them and move on, doesn’t stop me & my guildies from having fun

Best $60 I ever spent. Really happy with the game.

Gear in other games?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Karizee.8076

Karizee.8076

Oh, and I forgot to mention – every 6-8 months they install a new patch which completely obliterates any ‘progress’ you made, makes any previous content obsolete and you get to start the process all over again! XD

Gear in other games?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Karizee.8076

Karizee.8076

In Wow for example, gear level unlocks content. You cannot run that content without the gear.

The twist is they put in this thing called RNG which is a very tiny chance of getting your item to item to drop plus locking the instance so you can only run it once a week. This is how they stretch out a really thin amount of content over the longest period of time to keep you paying and paying and paying (monthly fees).

This last year I ran the Dragon Soul raid for 7 months on 2 different levels of difficulty trying to get a trinket that was required to get on a decent RBG team. Kitten thing never dropped, I finally gave up and quit the game.

So I'm level 80...

Think of dungeons as 5 man raids. They are just as complex and infinitely more interesting.

Screenshots and videos

The game is stunningly beautiful but when I take screenshots or videos they come out flat and 2 dimensional, like they are missing 20 layers of color or something. Some areas come out practically black and white!

I’d love to show the game off to some of my friends, is there a way to change the settings to get higher quality SS and vids?

Yes. You paid an additional 5% when you listed it, you do not get the listing fee back, but you will get your buy order price back.

If you use one of the Invisible bags or boxes, items you put in there will be excluded from compacting, depositing to collectibles or coming up on the vendor sell tab.

Travel cost at higher lvls

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Karizee.8076

Karizee.8076

I’m finding the traveling cost a bit prohibitive as well. If a guildie needs help with something on another map, by the time I get there on foot it’s over so I have to weigh the travel cost to take a waypoint. Or even if someone announces an event in map chat, again I have to consider the cost instead of just going YEAH! and porting over.

A closely related issue I’ve been running into is every time I die now I need to repair. The locations to repair always seem to be farther away so it’s a double cost with repair & travel.

Now this wouldn’t have been a problem if you guys hadn’t created such a beautiful expansive world with so much going on in it that we want to do everything
Love the game, but can we get a reduction in travel costs please?

Bouncing/ping-ponging camera issue

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Karizee.8076

Karizee.8076

After a patch last week I started having an issue with my camera whenever I am close to an object, terrain or NPC. My camera starts rapidly zooming in and out – I call it bouncing – like it’s trying to go first person but then changing it’s mind, back and forth very fast.

It’s making the game extremely difficult to play in tight areas, caves, jump puzzles, areas with lots of ramps or stairs. It happens when I go to purchase something from a vendor if I am standing too close. I try to get around it by standing back further – I have to stand back almost out of range to access the vendor before the camera stops spazzing.

Not sure if this is something on my end or with the game, like I said everything was fine until about midway last week and it suddenly started – for the record I have made no changes to my setup.

Otherwise I’m loving the game, you guys & gals are doing a great job, best $60 I ever spent.
