since you (Anet) decided to add “ascended” gear?
and also how is your (the players that read this) guild experience going? because the guild i was apart of went from about 70 members to about 6 active users.
just curious.
yes what is going on with this, my wife and I are on U-Verse internet and we lost connection to the server constantly last night. I mean my wife would literally lose connection, be brought back to the character select screen, log back in and immediately lose connection again after 30 or so seconds.
i gave up after getting disconnect twice and we to play another ONLINE game and had no problem the rest of the night while my wife tried to bear with it. she must have been disconnected at least 8 times within 10 minutes.
Exactly nofo we engineers just dominate WvW like i said we are Siege weapons AND Battering Rams. Swords and Axes spinning, tiny daggers disappearing? pfft clones? don’t make me laugh i drop BOMBs b**** AND they heal allies … how you like me now?
They will continue to change throughout the week as Tixx produces the different toys. There’s also a random chance to see a toy (or skritt) from an earlier day. I’m sorry that these are currently too difficult, have you tried tackling them with an extra person or two?
so does that mean by the end of the week we will need to run around with a raid group to do these presents?
genius design is genius. were not asking to solo Jormag but we should be able to solo these kitten presents, these events are supposed to be silly fun things not fricken raid bosses.

I even stopped playing my Engi because it was too easy! everything was working and turrets actually was too strong so i just put them and win dungeon instantly.
Don’t forget how powerful that Mortar was! That thing lasts forever you know! It’s never taken out in three hits like those poor powerless Warriors are all the time. Poor devils.
were Siege weapons! its awesome why would anyone want to play another class besides the Engineer?
Sarcasm? what sarcasm? i mean come on you know it, I know it and all the engineers out there know it. I mean i was tired of easy mode grenades killing everything. throw a grenade over here kill 3 thieves throw a grenade over there kill 7 thieves. then breaking out my flamethrower and going toe to toe with a warrior or two.
whats that? a mesmer portal? pfft ill just throw down my godlike turrets and stand back and let them do their thing, they don’t die, they make the bags of loot just pop up at my feet while i sit back and laugh.
and don’t get me started about Mortar what other class has a fricken siege weapon as their final skill? i don’t even need to buy siege weapons …. I AM A SIEGE WEAPON! just mowin people down with that thing i bet those on the other side are all like “after this beating im rolling me an engineer if you can’t beat em join em!”

i mean I know the Engineer zerg was destroying WvW for everyone and their kits being able to hit for tens of thousands was unbalanced. so the nerf to the class was completely justified. I am just tired of playing one of the classes that everyone rolls and would like to switch to an underplayed class as i hate being the flavor of the month.
so can i get a class change item so i can choose a Thief, Warrior or Mesmer … no one plays those classes.
I have recently started a new character and leveled to 32 and i have received one or two dye drops in that time.
queue kitten thats going to tell me “oh i get plenty of dyes”
How is it a boatload? Because you don’t like it, so it’s crap. Vocal minority again.
You don’t even read the rest of my post. BTW, accusing the majority on this board of being a “vocal minority” sounds like the Romney camp before the election. We all know how well that went.
47% of people will never agree with anything ArenaNet does.
I would say Anet is probably lucky they are a non subscription based game, that was there best decision to date. had they been a subscription based game they would have gone F2P faster than SWTOR.
The gear in hindsight is gonna be laughable months from now.
yeah when they add the next tier or two of gear. what will it be called ….
Mythical and Godlike?
Whiteside said they adding more fotm style dungeons. Something is showing them that they are successful?
people rushing to do the new content? no way thats completely unheard of! I bet most of WoWs playerbase also has leveled up a panda character, does that mean every game should add pandas since 10 million people have panda characters = Panda races are successful?
heres the thing, people weren’t against Dungeons if people like you actually payed attention to the forum they would know that people wanted more content aka dungeons and landmasses. what they didn’t want was better gear, it had nothing to do with not wanting dungeons.
remove portal from mesmer since no other class has this kind of utility in WvWvW. make portal a new “siege equipment” have it cost the same as a golem with the same supply cost.
Well last night while I was doingvmy dailies in the Sothsun Cove I noticed on the Mao chat that some asked: “Anyone up for the rich ori node?” Now as we know the ori nose is guarded by a Champion Karka. So I responded to him to invite me into the party so one could kite the champ while the other one mines.
When we got there I proceeded to start kiting the champ with my ranger and sure enough the other guy went in and mined what he could out of that, what surprised me was that immediately after he finished he just quit the party and left me there alone with the Karka which sure enough proceeded to quickly wipe me out…
Last night was the first time since the headstart that I haven’t bothered to finish dailies, and this is simply because of actions of a single selfish player.
So yes I’d much rather just solo trough the content than deal with idiots like him…
I actually have noticed this more and more lately – a lot (not all) of the friendly players are starting to dwindle at a rather fast rate.
welcome the WoW community to the game, this is what happens when you put in gear tiers and progression. many people that play that type of game have the attitude of “if you aren’t in my guild you are just an NPC to me”
sorry but if i ordered a steak and got a Mcdonalds hamburger patty i would not be very nice to the Chef.
MMORPG stands for
Massive – large, or many
Multiplayer – players playing in the same space
Online – over the internet
RPG – role playing game
no where in that does it say “massive group up or F off RPG”.
does this mean raids are coming to Guild Wars 2? thats the only type of guild content and progression I know.

i think it should be completely soloable (dungeons included) yet give much better rewards if done in a group. hell make the dungeons scale from 1-5 people.
you think this is a bug? lol you should have known Anet was going to nerf drop rates as soon as you saw the “convert gems to gold” option.
It’s abnormal from where it was for most of the games life so yea bug. Keep your conspiracy theories to yourself or in threads filled with em thanks theres enough garbage on the forums as is thanks to people like you.
lol good Anet Apologist, keep up the good work.
you think this is a bug? lol you should have known Anet was going to nerf drop rates as soon as you saw the “convert gems to gold” option.
according to Anets manifesto …. yes. But when was the last time Anet did something they promised.
one time events are stupid, sorry but people have responsibilities and are not going to base their lives around a video game.
I am glad you are 15 years old with not a care in the world so that you can be on the game at any time. however us adults have stuff to do and we can’t just drop those to play a stupid game.
how can you make one class have the best HP, heavy armor have some of the better burst?
I see my wife play her Elementalist and put out meh damage and be extremely squishy, and then watch my cousin play his warrior (both in exotics mind you) be fairly tanky yet put out amazing damage.
hell I play a level 80 guardian and a level 80 Engineer (again in full exotics) and the only way my engineer comes close to my guardian in damage is with the grenade kit and full damage. this is pretty funny since my guardian is built to be very defensive.
now i can’t go into other classes since i don’t have the experience with them and this is not a “nerf guardian and warrior” post as i love my Guard.
i just don’t understand your class design philosophy and your intentions with them.
lmao so you guys thought it would best to nerf the least played class (engineer) actual viable spec (grenade)?
ive seen better developing at Adventurine.
The real Million Dollar Question is “Will they make another tier with better stats than Ascended?”
If no, then we have nothing to worry about.
If yes, then we have a problem.
i can answer that, of course they will ascended is just the start …. trust me.
+1 because I feel the same way, bought this game mainly for wvw, and we’re not exactly getting updates for wvw anytime soon.
3200 for the whole set? no thank you. Was going to buy a character slot this month and decided not to.
yeah maybe that is a bit much, i think i would spend 20 bucks on a full suit of gear.
what happened to my title, it has nothing to do with not liking running dungeons.
it was about Putting Ascended gear on the Gem store.
This would be breaking another of their promises, I suppose, but it would make more sense than requiring everyone to do the friggin dungeon.
eh might as well they have pretty much broken all of their promises up until this point. I am truly expecting the Trinity to come back in a few months.
what do you guys figure, 3200 gems for a whole set? basically 40 bucks? i could live with that.
so i don’t have to go through another dungeon to get the next tier of gear? I just want to PVP and not have to worry about being out geared, i can’t stand dungeon running.
“everyone run there’s an engineer with a flamethrower over there”
i would love to see …
Flamethrower buffed
Rifle become a rifle not a shotgun (maybe give us a “shotgun” kit)
expect the holy trinity to return in the next three months after they add another tier of gear.
you guys NEED to listen to your Customers, i would say the MAJORITY do not want this, i bet if you put up a poll this would tell you that.
again Mr Whiteside this whole progression goes against everything you all (ANet) said prerelease. thats the problem people have, you SOLD this game as a non treadmill non power creep game that is completely different from other MMOs.
NOW you are going back on that completely and making it exactly like those other MMOs.
Gear is only needed for the new dungeon when you get into the harder parts. /topic
and you don’t think this is just the tip of the iceberg? really? are some people on this forum that clueless. I mean they are already adding a new tier of gear within 3 month, so whats going to happen in the next 3 month? another tier of gear? “mythical” with some other stat to “gate” content?
Yes, add elements they promised to not put in the game. Abandon the vision for the game to suit WoW-addicts like you. Just play WoW and leave us alone.
they have already shown their promises are worth about as much as dog crap …. so i would get prepared.
Might as well, since Anet has decided the premise they sold this game under no longer holds water.
exactly this …
you never know now that GW2 has thrown out their original manifesto.
Warrior – Tank/DPS
Guardian – Tank/Healer
Ele – DPS/Healer/Support
Theif – DPS
Mesmer – DPS/Support/CC
Engineer – Healer/Support/DPS
Ranger – DPS
Necro – DPS
hell why not lets just NGE this game!
imagine if this was a monthly sub game? i would love to see how many would have hit the unsubscribe button over this.
i think i would have.
It generally works fine in all games.
In most MMOs you need a certain stat threshold for progression purposes.
Agony is no different than requiring your main tank in WoW have a certain amount of health, block, dodge, armor, etc…
And agony is built into the dungeon itself, meaning to get good at the dungeon, you need to run that dungeon. Unlike other games where you’re grinding gear for the next tier of content.
sorry but you don’t know what you are talking about. these type of stats are HATED in every game they are added to.
agree this didn’t work in EQ2 as well when they called it Crit Mitigation. there was much rejoicing when they finally figured it out and removed it.
no i would rather have new exotics with new skins that are dropped from this dungeon.
Even more so than Ascended gear ……
a new Condition is being brought into the game called “agony” where you will have to focus on a specific “resistance stat” in order to beat tougher content because of Agony.
this scares the hell out of me, i have seen a few games try to add a specific “defensive stat” to PVE encounters. this is usually done as a gate mechanic and usually seperates communities between those that have it and those that don’t. you think you will see “group looking for 2 more with Ascended gear”? no what you will see is "group looking for 2 more must have 300+ “agony prevention stat”"
i have seen this type of defensive stat added to one of my favorite MMOs … EQ2. It was called Crit Mitigation and if you did not have enough you would get one shotted by raid mobs, and no amount of skill would stop that from happening. Eventually you needed X amount of Crit Mit in order to even join PVE groups especially raid group.
EQ2 finally removed this stat from the game EVERYONE was happy, from the casual game to the Hardcore Raider.
i think Agony is a terrible mechanic, thats going to split the PVE elitist from the rest even further. this is in my opinion worse than ascended gear.
just read about “agony” and i just slammed my head against the desk, i don’t mind the gear progression but the idea of needed a special stat in order to progress in content SUCKS.
this is the reason i left EQ2 they added “crit Mitigation”, where as if you didn’t have enough of it you died instantly to mobs … sound familiar? they finally smartened up and removed the stat. why GW2 thought this was a good idea i will never know.
yep same problem and i should not be disconnecting I am on a SUPER fast internet and today i have been disconnected at least 10 – 12 times in about 2 hours of play. Everytime i check my speed with speedtest I am sitting at a comfortable 22mbps.
this is the first time since i have owned the game that i have experienced this amount of disconnection with the same error as above. what is going on.
why does it have to be one or the other. why can’t bosses of dungeons have a chance to drop a piece of good useable loot for those of us who like the excitement of random loot.
and then have tokens for those that don’t want to rely on the RNG.
to me part of the fun of dungeons is the anticipation of what you are getting from a down boss mob … if anything. Right now that has been completely taken away from me in GW2 to the point where i don’t even look at what i get from chests. dungeons right now are nothing but Token grinds.
so you joined a guild then mouthed off to an officer and then proceeded to tell them basically “L2P” and now you think you’re some innocent victim? LOL
I’d have done the same thing, whether you soloers/guild hoppers like it or not people in guilds are officers for a reason and while you think the title is fluff to many guilds its not, officers are people who have proven themselves to the guild.
only thing i wish is that the exp was better, i was going to try and level a character just through PVP and good lord is it slow.
“were I am not getting out geared by people who play more than me.”
yeah god forbid a game reward people for you know playing the game, what a silly concept.
I play games to have fun and relax after a hard working day, not to get rewards.
Pogo and Farmville sound right up your alley not MMOs, they have always been driven by rewards for timed played.
