Guild Wars 2

i use all classes in pve (all zerk ofc) and spvp, what i suggest is not to remove everything, but to give a different access to boons and conditions

i think there is no sense to give everything to everyone, i’d like to have some exclusive boon for some classes, quickness only for mesmer, stealth only for thief, protection for guardians etc etc

now i’ll made the same question to you, what class do u play? you play more than one? what’s the difference between classes? why some classes will give vulnerabilty just autoattacking, i’d like to see this condi only for necro, so he should be really helpfull for the party, and so for other classes, every classes with some REAL UNIQUE feature for the party

as i told i play all classes, i dont feel too much difference between them, in other games this difference is huge, and is stupid imho have something different, who isnt really different, just the name, and the icon on skills

That’s a while i think a big nerf of boons/conditions should help all classes to be usefull and different, i ever feel alot of boons/conditions spam, i dont really feel classes too different as are in other games, and sometime that’s a joke, i dont understand why some classes have quickness or stealth, why almost every classes can give everything…
imho if a big nerf (and overall balance ofc) will come all the content should be harder, the tactics will have to change and alot of classes should found their spot with a different way, and i think they should go deeper on their purpose

i know everyone dont wanna this, because everyone wanna have a powerfull character press one button and win, but when i play thief i dont feel too much difference from ele, war, guard etc etc and this is pretty boring

Did u saw in lfg ppl who wanna have only guards? I hope anet will fix the reeason why the do that, someone told me about a trait for make more dmg on symbols, dunno but is orrible see lfg like that

Mortifer.2946:

Do you really think Anet will ever make raids? I mean, I would love to see them. Raids in WoW were the only fun I had in that game, but I don’t think Anet likes instanced content

but they like money

alot of ppl are crying for the tequatl buff, imho if the ppl know what to do, is super easy
there are casual player and “pro” player, if anet wanna put all together in the same room nothing good will come, maps like silverwaste and livingstory are for casual/farmer player, hard istanced content are for “pro/hardcore” gamers… if they think to make openworld content harder it will make casual/farmer angry for the difficult, and the “pro/hard” gamer will still be bored for have no real challenging content….
imho there is no still good game around, and this is a real luck for anet, but i saw different good game will be released in the next months so if gw2 will bring something MORE for everyone could be one of the best game around also if new games are comming, otherwise i thing other games will be steal player from this game, and also if i’ve bought the expensive HOT i should go away for something i will enjoy more…

anyway it was a raid CDI and also a job for raid designer, i hope they got a good one who will be able to make something different and challenging, who “force” player to go deeper inside his profession, because atm, all profession are just a different way to make dps

_i hope to see 10-12 ppl raids
_i hope the reward will be better than fotm, i hope will be not for guilds only
_i hope inside this istance we can do direct dps, condi dps, tank and healer, so we should play something different than just dps everything with dodge/reflections stacks, i’m pretty bored to play “quake arena 2”
_mechanics who allow players to split for different purpose, so every class should find his spot, for example a tank or some like that who wil taunt boss away from teamfight, the “dps team” do their job, and crowd controll players who manage other kind of foe, and the healer who will help everyone who need
_i hope also it will be done once per week, for feel it important and not farmable

Frediosz.2718:

A very good lesson to you.

Don’t put 30 chilli peppers into your mouth at once – you take one and taste a little bit to see how ‘hot’ it is.

if u know this are chilli peppers, but if u think are candys… that’s why of the warning… i dont say it’s anet fault, i know no one forced me to go there and click, but:

1) i was suppose to play a fantasy game, not a gambling game, and i never found something like that inside a mmo i’ve played

2) if your mother give you something u trust her, onestly i was trusting anet, i never immagine that they can add something like that

it’s definetly my fault, but onestly not for clicking but for trust on them, i’m more carefull if i go in a bad place in the real life, but i will not when i sleep, or when i’m at home, i was thinking gw2 was like home, just a game where u have fun with friends, not a gambling game, i’ve bought a fantasy mmo, not a gambling game….
i hope to not found also some porn in the future, because i have children who play this game…. but now, everything can happen….

nathanjameson.3542:

• You used the vendor.
• You lost money and items.
• You kept gambling anyway.

What warning would be big enough to get it through to you???

something like “this npc is a gamble game” should be enough, i keep CLICK, not gamblic because i was thinkis this npc was like the ram festival, he was not like that!!!!!! a warning should keep me away from this

but i’ll make u a question again, u didnt replyed, pls do it

what is the purpose of this NPC in this game?

nathanjameson.3542:

Lian Olsam.9541:

differences is: if usually u lose a bit like 1g, then u gan 1,2g, is different from lose 500 gold or more, if the max trait is to lose 1,2 gold is different from lose 1000 globs and 100 gold…

No, your stated argument was that this vendor should not exist in the first place, not that his return rates should be different. Are you changing your argument now because you finally realize it’s flawed?

no man i dont change the argument, i still think this npc should be deleted or if he stay should have a big warning, i just was reply to your answer, if u dont like answer i give to your question, dont make me a question

anyway, u didnt respond my question, why this npc is inside the game?
what is his purpose for you?

nathanjameson.3542:

Lian Olsam.9541:

nathanjameson.3542:

i noticed you never answered the question of why you used it 4+ times

because i was thinking this npc was the same of the olders, where sometime you should lose a bit, and sometime you will gain a bit more

Hate to break it to you, but that is the EXACT DEFINITION OF GAMBLING. At what point were you confused again?

At the risk of argumentum ad hominem…you’re not a quick wit, are you?

differences is: if usually u lose a bit like 1g, then u gan 1,2g, is different from lose 500 gold or more, if the max trait is to lose 1,2 gold is different from lose 1000 globs and 100 gold…

nathanjameson.3542:

i noticed you never answered the question of why you used it 4+ times

because i was thinking this npc was the same of the olders, where sometime you should lose a bit, and sometime you will gain a bit more, so i was thinking ok, now i lost, next time i will take back what i lost with a little amount of gain

now i’ll make u a question, why this npc is inside the game? what is his purpose?

you gamble if U KNOW U ARE GAMBLING!!! the NPC of ram was something like that but u didnt lose, u bought items and when u open it u have a gain or in the worst case you didnt lose ANYTHING, i was thinking the same here, because of no warning, and no real difference from the ram NPC… it is so difficoult to understand for u?

Randulf.7614:

But it is quite clear that the result is unpredictable. The tooltips on the items say you get random back. If it was a way to make money outright, everyone would be rich now.

There are only so many pop ups and warnings and tooltips Anet can add. Someone will always not read them or overlook them. It’s down to the responsibilty of the user to think “should I spend or gamble 100g, not knowing what I will get back”

you are right but it is the first time after 3 years we see something like that, my mistake was trust on anet, i never think they will put a gambling NPC, is like slot machines, click and lose

and for someone told about mystic forge, u cant lose so much money without know what r u doing, because u have to buy than mix it, in this place u will lose just with a click and u lose alot of money in just few seconds…

omg if someone told me it was a gambling I NEVER GO TO THIS NPC but no one told me, i see NO WARNING , in this 3 years i see no GAMBILG IN THIS GAME but i see something u will lose something than you wil gain agan so i was thinking this was the same, it is so hard for u understand it? is so hard understand no all the ppl of the world is like you?

when you go to a techer it is suppose him will teach you
when u go to school it is suppose you go for study
when u go to baseball it is suppose u play baseball
when u go to casino it is suppose you will play gambling game
when u play an mmo it is suppose you play mmo, not gambling

why they will keep warning me after 3 years of game about salvage Yellow and exotic stuff and they will no warning when i can lose everything? if USUALLY for 3 years when i can do something wrong they warning me, and when they put an NPC he doesent steal me all what i have, why i have to suppose now he can do?

you dont care about that, i’m happy with you and ppl like you, but the world is made by 7 bilions of ppl and we are different from you!!

Hi everyone, sorry for my english i try to do my best

As many of you i was robbed by the new NPC “ectoplasm skrit” i was thinking as the ram festival NPC it was a good way for make some money, or just a little, but not to lose everything, now i know this NPC is just a simple slot machine, he will take all your currencies (gold and globs).

Is it funny when u salvage a yellow item you will get a warning message, and when u will have a chance lose everything you have no warning pop up appear, so i lost my 1000 glob and around 100gold, i’ve read alot ppl lost more than me, but i’m not a “farmer” i’m a normal player so i made it in 3 years of game (ok i’ve also spent some money and globs for ascended gear).

So i’ve open a ticket for explain and see if is possible to get a refund or a roll back, but it seems is not possible, i understand was my bad, because i trusted in ANET, i was thinking this is a videogame, not a casino, so i never thought to lose everything.

This topic is not only about my lose, but about the trust, about the gaming, in the past, with gw2 i had 3 fotm ascended back, and when they made a wardrobe i lost 500 glob (this is what you need for make them luminiscent) but i’ve just told “oh cr***” those chance make me lose money, but they didn’t made it for some bad purpose, so i was ok, i’ve also made bad mistake with TP loosing alot of money, but ok, is my bad i’ve got my risk, my fault is my fault, never asked a rollback for this reason anbd i’ve lost more money than now, i’m not here for crying because i’ve lost my currencies but because i feel cheated, because the only purpose of this NPC was to steel money and glob from players without any warning, that’s why i asked a rollback or golds and ectos refund, but they dont wanna do this.

I feel cheated, betrayed, no warning, no limits… “another skritt like the ram festival should be the same” i was thinking, “something good for the new lions arch, something for help player for make some globs for the upcoming expansion…” no man, this isn’t, you lost what you earned in this years, but the real problem is the fun has gone, disappointment has take his spot.

Those days was really bad for ANET the merchadise mistake (prices and slot stuff) but i feel this one strongest, because i understand they need money for live and work on this game, but i dont understand why they have to ruin the gameplay and give so bad feelings to players…

Guys this is a game let us have fun, and if u wanna place gamble game just write a big WARNING, dont place the NPC that usually is safe, like tha ram one, or others….

Nightshade.2570:

They are giving two to those that are veterans and bought the deluxe or ultimate editions.

ppl like me who buyed deluxe or ultimate who dont need 2 slot because they already have 8 (+1) will make the 2 slots useless, for this reason i suggest to give him one slot + gems (the value of slot, no more) so if u need 2 slots u will have one and the gems for buy the second one, if u doesent need it, i can buy other stuff

i read the message about the slot for all the version, and this is a awesome news, but i’d like to suggest for the versions already had a bonus slot, to give only one slot (not 2) + the gem value for buy a slot inside the gemstore, this is because someone need 2 slot and can have it, but alot of players like me, doesent need it, and really have no value..

so everyone will be happy and can have what they need
thanks for listen us

skowcia.8257:

Lian Olsam.9541:

now i hope you will give something more to ppl who bought the most expensive version of expansion, for be FAIR WITH ALL not only for one kind of proposal….

I see..another drama incoming. Too bad you already preordered so in fact you was fine the way it was done. I dont’see reason a reason why it should bother you in this case.

is not a drama, but i HAD 3 choices, now the chocies was modify…
if they solved YOUR problem doesent mean you are allowed to be selfish… i think BE FAIR for everyone is the best choice, i suggested to implement to the option who already had the bonus slot, the gems who need to buy one, so if u need it you will buy it, otherwise u can use it to buy something else… it seems FAIR for everyone, i dont wanna more, i wanna be listened like YOU was, also because i was one of many, who doesent make any drama and supported the game in this 3 years and bought the expansion w/o say a word….

Xorin.9260:

Not a complaint, necessarily, but for those who bought Deluxe or Ultimate, this is giving us two character slots. I’ve already got 9 slots: one per profession and one key farmer. I liked getting the extra slot with the upper two editions for the Revenant, but another one is not exactly useful for me. Perhaps there could be an option for something else for those of us who picked up Deluxe or Ultimate?

agree, they should add the gem value instead the second character slot, so who need will be able to buy it, who doesent need will use gems for other stuff… same value, and everyone will be happy

now i hope you will give something more to ppl who bought the most expensive version of expansion, for be FAIR WITH ALL not only for one kind of proposal….

They will not change the price, i think is useless say them what i’ve read in the other topics, i agree with u guys, but i dont think they will change the price or they will make the HOT expansion only for 30 € (for example)

but i think we should found a solution together

first of all i understand if they choose that prices is because they need it, so i think is useless lf something more cheeper

1) give the new players and the old players the same stuff with the same price is a slap in a face for ppl like me who believed in a game and played since bwe, and payed the game at full cost and in this years had spend money on gemstore, so i suggest to give old players something like a choose of exclusive wings and 5 lions key (no cost for anet and we are not feelings like b**** who got nothing)

2) add something more for premium and ultimate maybe more lions key

3) dismiss the guy who decided all this stuff, even if is the boss… i’ve already bought the expansion, because gw2 ATM is the only game i play so i hope to have fun with this (i’m still waiting news about competitive ISTANCED contents btw), but with 50€ i can buy another mmo, with 100 i can buy 2…. so you should more gratefull with your customers

that’s horrible… i dont wanna do the skill challenge with 9 characters….
where is the sense to force player already know the game to go around the map to do useless and boring stuff again?!
i hope anet will change their mind

after the patch skills on my pg will be resetted or not?

Yes it is, because find other 4 random guys every day sounds to me as pugs, and kitten players queue u find good premade so it should be even worse
i font play during the night and it seems alot of players play only after 9pm, i ve tryed and played with alot of teams for the first year but now i cant really play after 8pm, i ve wrote topics for found players who play in the afternoon, in this forum and others, but it seems afternoon players dont wanna play as team or so

Its really easyer found just one another pkayer and 2v2 is alot funny, i ve played in another mmo, so i can say it

However i dont wanna delete the 5 man pvp im just suggest to adding to existent mode

i like this mode, but there is ever the same issue, the pugs

i really hope you will implement something like 2v2, will be really easier find a guy to play with, instead other 4 ppl
this is my big problem since the released, and after years of pugging i see alot ppl in my situation, i think there is more puggers than premade, and i think u can see it, in you statistics

stronghold is fun, i still love conquest mode, but found a bad pugs it will ruin everything, so i think you should fix this, with a 2v2 mode

this is a game and a game should be fun, but isnt fun when u see since the start player play really bad, and even u try to explain nothing change, usually before the game will begin i try to explain what should we do, but ppl doesent listen, they just do what they wont, as pve instanced solo… and this situation make u frustrating, this is the big fail of this pvp game, it make me smile when i see u r trying to make this pvp as dota/lol, it will never be since the community will change and will be more positive, and it cant be if ppl will win or lose the match, not for they quality, but for the luck to found ppl who know what to do, or just ppl are able to listen and reply about tactics….

everythings depend on contents…

if they will add just others farming maps only thing matters is mobility and aoe/cleave for drop

if they finally will add an end game istanced content it will depend on the mechanics, encounters etc etc…

so u cant say what is better and what is worse

too bad feelings in some replies
little quaggans are so cute, like the little asura u will find inside their school in the asuran starting zone… i love them ^^
i’d love to have the chance to unlock the “quaggan lover” title, let me save them from some bad guys and then i can gain the title ^^

i wanna the “Quaggan Lover” title….
because i looooooove them

Use google traslate for traslation of this web page http://www.tomshw.it/news/king-of-wushu-directx-11-contro-directx-12-con-il-cryengine-spettacolare-65941
they say 2 ppl for 6 weeks for port this moba from dx11 to dx 12.
i m not a programmer but it seems not too much expensive port the game to dx12

as the title, will be any new pvp reward track? something more for pvpers than stronghold?

the goal, is “defeating” the pugging, its more easy found only one guy to play with instead 4

i’d like to know the percentile of players who play alone or with a friend vs a full premade, imho the 70% of players doesent play with a full team, this means alot of player when play gw2 pvp will have alot of “bad time” because its very easy to found ppl afk, ppl will doesent play as team, going alone everywhere, fighting out of points etc etc… the list is very long and everyone know it

i’m really happy for the expansion news, and i really enjoyed the stronghold, but the issue will be also in other mode, so i dont understand why aned after 3 years doesent make something for 2v2 for example, its alot easyer find a guy to play with, making gw2 pvp more funny and less “rushing”

More roleplay should break the usual stack and max dps in dungeons… not everyone love do that everytime… more options, more fun

I ve enjoyed yesterday the chance to play stronghold and i like it very much, unfortunatly because of work i ve done just few match.
When anet told us about expansion i was thinking the relesse date was in april, but it seems will be later, and the game atm lack of new contents, so should be really appreciated to give us a preorder and who preorder the game can play stronghold before release, so players will have somethig to play with, and you will start to earn money for your works and everyone will be happy

Olba.5376:

Lian Olsam.9541:

1. till condition will be fixed in pve
2. till we will have alot of combo stats and we use just few of them and only 2 on pve (zerk mostly)
3. remove some of thise combo stats, because are useless and if we have it let turn them into other stats, dont know how many combos we have but alot are no sense, power thoughness ferocity for example, why i need ferocity if i cant crit? and there is alot of this bad combos…

1. There’s already screenshots floating around of the condition cap having been lifted during the Stress Test, along with devs saying that the condi cap removal wasn’t a bug.
2. The thing is, there will always be an optimal setup for any given profession. Heck, by definition of the word “optimal”, there can only be one of them for any given scenario.
3. So first you suggest that they make more stat combinations viable, then you suggest that they remove some of the useless ones? Which do you want? Also, nice job on forgetting that not being able to crit makes both precision and ferocity useless. Which by the way leads straight to a completely different stat combination being optimal in that scenario.

we should also talk about dungeon/raids, but there is alot of thread about this, so i’d like to see an adjustment for stats combos, and have more OPTIMAL (not viable) way to play content

Do you even know what the word optimal means? Here’s a refresher:
best or most favourable; optimum.

The only way for there to be multiple optimals at the same time is for them to do the exact same thing in the exact same scenario. Anything else and you’re back to having a single optimal and multiple viables. Things that perform identical in identical scenarios are, for all intents and purposes, identical and thus redundant.

some combo stats doesent have any sense, so they should delete it, for the others i hope they will make it usefull

as i already wrote, the screenshot is about a world boss, we doesent know yet if it will work also with mobs, dungeons etc etc

maybe there will be always an optimal setup for each profession (but this isnt true also with the current zerk meta), but not for party composition, you should be able to choose it, a full zerk melee, a mix composition for conditions, zerk melee, and ranged etc etc… its all depend on the scenario, if they will focus on mechanics, maybe you can also enjoy other options

@randulf
i’ve saw it, problem is if this stacking is only for world bosses, and not for dungeons

@belzebu
something is almost good, but i hope to see more, i dont wanna start the “trinity” disscussion, but i hope new specialization will fix it, making viable more kind of gameplay, i hope the necro gs will bring him inside the zerk meta, and i hope to have new istanced content to play with friends allowing us to play a role

@sagat
yes there are some trait, sigils, but only for few seconds, if was something good for do dmg, this should be the meta, not the zerk

@belzebu
if u mix something you will loose your potential, metabuild is an example, everything is zerk (a little exception for assassin)
i dont agree with u when u say only one optimal, maybe will be only 2, ok, but this is for party composition, not for individual build, for example if condi will be viable you should choose it instead of zerker, if content will be writed for different counters (like tequatl) you should go for PTV, if in raids or dungeon, they will design something different from stack and max dps, also a more tanky/healing stats will be usefull…

my bank is full of ascended rubbish with useless stats, because the game is not designed for other than berserker i have accessory with precision vitality healing power, i really dont know what i suppose to do with this object, will have a sense if you are the healer and u can crit the healing… but there is no healer in gw and u cant crit the heals when u blast the waterfield

so i hope they will implement something will allow us to use this stats combo, or delete it from the game giving us the choice to convert it with usefull stats

till condition will be fixed in pve

till we will have alot of combo stats and we use just few of them and only 2 on pve (zerk mostly)

remove some of thise combo stats, because are useless and if we have it let turn them into other stats, dont know how many combos we have but alot are no sense, power thoughness ferocity for example, why i need ferocity if i cant crit? and there is alot of this bad combos…
have alot of stuff doesent means have a better game, i think more focussed things it will make the game better with less trash

we should also talk about dungeon/raids, but there is alot of thread about this, so i’d like to see an adjustment for stats combos, and have more OPTIMAL (not viable) way to play content

edit:
i forgot the most important part, i hope new specialization will balance classes and give us the chance to play new istanced content differently, for example i hope to see the zerk necro to find a place inside the meta, i hope to see istanced content where new specialization make ranged classes have a sense… expansion should give us something important, not just a new area and a new farming map, but should change in a better way the game, give us more options

And…. record every news and show us :p

It seems really weird if a really big feature like that wasnt annunced yet… i thing the big stuff is already annunced, new zone, new classes, guild hall, new pvp mode, masteries, specialization… i dont think they have something like new dungeon/raid system… maybe a new dungeon but i dont think will be too much different from what we already have, maybe harder, but is nothing if a new kind of reward/progress system isnt added…

I know gw2 is different, but i dont think a new map will give too much life at the game, expecially if is a big silverwaste farming map, like it seems to be…
farmers already have alot of content to farm their skin and legendary, but what about ppl love the more traditional istanced end game content? Challenging stuff will allow you to play with friends and guild mates w/o play with a big random zerg as other world bosses..

I ve played on another mmo and in this one we had too much content as dungeon and raids with new tier etc etc every 4-5 months… i d like to have itmin gw2 same content every one year, i will pay for it, like players do it in the other game i ve played… i dont understood if anet doesent have enough enployee or if b2p system doesent give him the money they need for do new challenging content… 3 years and we had nothing…

Atm i m lf another game, i m bored about “farmingwaste” style, i know this game is make for be played when you want, but this shoudnt be an excuse for do nothing about that

I really love this game and i d like to see a more deeper and challenging istanced content, i m shure thisnis what this game really need

agree with u i hope they will fix it

it’s a while we dont have any new news, info or streaming
something is planned?

Test.8734:

Terrahero.9358:

Optimal will always be limited. If full zerker wasn’t optimal, something else would be, maybe Knights. And then we would have the exact same threads, only about a different kind of gear.

Not really.

Berseker could be the best in one dungeon.

Knight in another.

Soldier in one kind of boss fight.

And so on. People could go to the area with the playstyle they like the most, and fitting with the gear they have. We would also have variety in the game, as opposed to zerker being the best at everything PvE related like it is today.

creepmatic.9435:

Ascended gear needs more reasons to exist than just more AR slots or min/max expensive boring infusions.

Just let people switch their stats like we currently do with Legendaries. Then everyone would have a very good reason to get Ascended, without making it to give more power than it already does.

thanks to god someone understood my point of view…. more option more fun for everyone

again… i dont wanna CHANGE ALL THE GAME or force someone to play in ONE WAY, i’m telling should be possibile have contents who have the OPTIMAL way with full zerk, other content with OPTIMAL way using trinity (or something different by zerk rush), so EVERYONE can play content he want, w/o forcing player doing something doesent enjoy at all!!!!

super organized speedrun party do a path in 3 min, good players do it in 15, and player who play with “out of meta build” like some guys wrote, it make 30 min (maybe with some wipe)… i’m not the guy who wanna make it with 3 min, i dont like to switch weapon/trats every 3 seconds, i like to use some nice trick like portals, invisibility, using meta builds, for do a “smart run”, sure i should play a full healer another one should play condi, and another one should be a tank, but FOR MY MIND there is no fun, to play a game differently from HIS DESIGN…. it feels like drive a car at the same way you do with a bicycle…

that’s the reason i suggest more different content, a dungeon DESIGNED for be optimal with full zerk, another one for be optimal for trinity etc etc…

omg who cares about VIABLE, if u buy a car you want a VIABLE car or you want an OPTIMAL one? i think only fools choose something viable instead optimal

watch this videos
http://gw2dungeons.net/Records
3 min, 6 min for a single path… why i should do the same path in 30 min because someone is ok with viable?

like i already told, i like to have some content like that, its just a full rush, is really funny IF you can also choise to do OTHER stuff, but IF all the content is just a full rush, isnt funny, i miss to play other ROLE like i’ve done in other games

other things it’s just a blablabla

Miku Lawrence.6329:

You want people to have difrent builds but conkitten Necro never being able to DPS.

its just a different topic, i’d like to see the necro able to do dps, he just need another weapon with a burst an a autoattack with cleave, but this is not about trinity topic
