Guild Wars 2

I agree, the price of them has been exploding recently. They are at 8g already.
I found 3 Giant Eyes in over 8k hours of playtime. They are too rare for an ingredient you need 250 off for a single skin.

Its a known bug, some people unlocked the beta skins by mistake during the stress test.

ANet is not a small team but a micro team if you think about it. You want a good expansion AND continuous content. That can’t happen with the numbers they have.

That being said..after all the reveals for HoT, the hype for the expansion died for me.

300 employes is more than a micro/small team.

I would bet you that at least half their employe have been working on their next game since GW2 was released. Probably the moment they got the Unreal engine license.

So who would buy their next game after seeing how GW2 turned out? A lot of people only bought GW2 because they liked GW1. The only reason GW2 is still going strong is that the alternatives are even worse.
I know I would definitely not pre order it because the credit of trust from GW1 is gone.

A good old Tsar Bomba from Russia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba) would do short work of him

eh pvp titles are much better

and they are realistically achieveable (except 10k wins maybe?)

In regards to pvp, 10,000 wins is a lot and not something that can be done in a year or so ; however, it is one of the few exclusive mile stones left to go for.

But yes, I do agree that PvP titles are a bit more achievable with the exception of the ones that correspond with the animal ranks, those are way to easy to obtain and should be a prime example of what WvW achievements should not become.

Rank 1 EU has 691 wins so far this ladder season. Quite impressive. I only have like 1.6k in total since release

You can even do p1,2,3 in one run. Not just 2+3

I would like to see an achievement API which allows you to view all the achievements you completed and your progress on uncompleted achievements. It should also be possible to view other details such as the achievement points and details such as the rewards associated with each achievement.
The reason I would like to see this is that the ingame achievement UI is very bad and tedious to use.

Oh and an API which allows to access your wardrobe would also be nice.

No..for an mmo and for the CONSTANT demands and expectations of an mmo that IS a micro team. For a single player that’s an OK team…but even then not that big.

The vast majority of f2p mmo’s have developer employee numbers barely in the 10’s, let alone the hundreds

I honestly wouldn’t be super surprised if Anet was working on GW3 at this point…

They better do their best to keep me hooked to GW2 if they want to keep earning my money. I wouldnt buy a GW3 at this point. The payment model is too disgusting to buy another game with this payment model, it costed me tons more than a subscription so far.

I am pretty sure there are MMOs with far less than 100 employes.

Time to do something else… I hear the weather is improving outside.. I may even venture out to that scary place.

Oh, you mean this old MMO?
It’s got daily updates

It is literally the worst game ever. permanent death, full loot, no balance, corrupt game masters, eternal grind with no visible progress and you get weaker the longer you play it.

rapthorne.7345:

was a bit disappointed given May is Jenna’s Jubilee, I hope it won’t pass by uncelebrated.

I would love to farm for a lyssa backpiece recipe in queens gauntlet

Which is why LA looks like this

I am really happy about this. Lions Arch was a town of crooks, criminals and pirates. They deserved this misery. I wish there would have been no survivors.

chronometria.3708:

I`ll say this – having seen the current state of Warcraft, I`m glad I have a GW2 that hasn’t turned into a facebook game.

That being said, I haven’t actively played GW2 for a long time. I`m a WvW player primarily and I go all out for the tournaments….but it has been almost a year, I think, since the last one.

The pace of content creation in the game is often accurately described as “glacial” and it perplexes me as to why this should be the case.

I believe Anet wastes too much time with iterating stuff and temporary content. There is no reason why SAB should not available 24/7. There is no reason why the crown pavillon should not be available 24/7 (if only just for the queens gauntlet). How often did they change the daily/monthly system? How often did they change the trait system? I think i could continue with this list for a while, but why bother. Everyone knows it by now.

I voted for Ellen Kiel.

Yes, it is really sad they are neglecting the biweekly updates because of the expansion. I also would not count the chinese new year as a content update. It was just some decoration and a rereleased minigame.
So the last content update was the final episode of season 2
Most of my friends are getting really bored of the game and I hear them complaining almost every time they bother logging on.

I prefer buying from the consortium over a greedy Charr.

At this point, Bellinda’s Greatsword and Rox’s Quiver might as well just stay in the store permanently.

they need content for july…

Do I hear some sarcasm and disappointment about Anets update strategy?

They are old dyes available on the trading post, so I would be stupid to get them gambling gems^^

Wanze.8410:

gem store was updated, have fun with it

What if I already own all these old skins?

Yes, please make it megaserver.

Some people enjoy fighting with massive zergs. So this idea is terrible.

And I find the first idea terrible, it forces players up to fill servers rather than spread them out. Not everyone wants zerg vs zerg, even in T1 servers.

So why are the people who dont enjoy zerging in the most popular servers? Id say they should transfer away because roamers are the minority.

Orochimaru.4730:

azizul.8469:

how about :

T1 = reduction 5%
T2 = reduction 10%
T3 = reduction 15%
T4 = reduction 20%
T5 = reduction 25%
T6 = reduction 30%
T7 = reduction 35%
T8 = reduction 40%

…. lower tier servers wouldn’t be able to queue maps anyway, so bigger reduction on them make sense…

I think you have that list upside-down.

I would place a 40% reduction on T1 and 5% on T8

Why? Because it will force players to spread between the servers again rather than bandwagon in the top 3.

Some people enjoy fighting with massive zergs. So this idea is terrible.

lordkrall.7241:

Quite funny how things differ at different times.

Back during the Tournaments there are always plenty of threads about how Tournaments are the worst thing ever and that they should never ever do them again. And yet now we see threads at least once a week wanting a Tournament.

Different people want and like different things. Are you sure its the same people you are talking about? You are always using this strawman argument which makes no sense with hundreds of thousands of players.

Yes, I never ever refine luck. Takes too much effort to switch characters and refine.

I would like to see a new tournament. WvW is dieing in EU because nothing interesting is going on.

I would spend it all on gems and convert it to Gold to fill every slot possible in my wardrobe

Excludee.3850:

So I feel like I bought Bellinda’s Greatsword for 400gems.

Why is this stupid fan 600 gems?

Belinda’s Greatsword is 600 gems, too.

L Step.8659:

I only see this drawing in more PvE people to farm things, I don’t think many PvPers would like it.

Why would they not like it? More people to play against.

Next time send their wealth to me before you delete their chars

style.6173:

People don’t rank to 80 too fast. It is actually a fine pace. The issue is there is nothing to do once you get there. The OP’s suggestion is fine.

Actually, many people told ANET to think about this before they went live with the change. They chose not to listen.

You can do r1 to r80 in a month if you are hardcore. Too fast for people like me.

5/10/15/20/25k achievement point chests give a total makeover kit

Why should players invest this much effort? The burden of proof that the RNG is working properly and fair is on Anet side.
They have all the data of every player because they keep very detailed logs of everything.

Currently reaching r80 is way too fast (thanks to the feature update in April 2014 which both reduced the amount of points needed for r80 to 1/8 and increased the points earned per game by a ton) and then you are done with the permanent progression in PvP. So what if you could reset your rank at 80 to earn additional longterm rewards?
Mainly new titles/achievements, improved account medal. Each time you reach 80 again you should unlock the dragon finisher in a different color. eg. 1x r80 = blue, 2x r80 = green, 3x r80 = red, 4x r80 = purple, 5x r80 = yellow, 6x r80 = orange, 7x r80, 8x r80 = white, 9x r80 = black, 10x r80 = copper shader, 11x r80 = silver shader, 12x r80 = gold shader
Small addition if possible to disadvantage skyhammer servers: After 1x r80 you only get ranking points from unranked and ranked tPvP matches, after 5x r80 only from ranked matches.
Should be easy enough to implement and add longterm progression to PvP. The reward tracks are not bad, but they show nothing about your longtime progress.

Its kinda obvious that there is something wrong with the RNG in this game. People with new accounts and 1k AP getting precursors all the time people like me with 27,5k AP and 8k+ hours have 1 precursor (I got Rage precursor after 7400h) drop if lucky.
My other accounts (got 30 for daily login rewards) have vastly different drop results, too. Some have 4 or 5 black lion kits from dailies already, a few still at 0. I am tempted to play mystic forge casino at one of the accounts with 5 kits :/

Well tickets are account bound, so they dont help my main account unlock skins

There is basically no wvw down there.

Lol.
T7 here and we get que’s on EB to prime-time.
and outside of prime it’s a roamers’ paradise with many solo-cappers & havoc groups running around, without having to fear to get steam-rolled by zone-blobbs.

solo capping and havoc groups sounds terribly boring to me. Basically the definition of dead WvW. I feel like in T1 there is not enough going on, cant imagine how it is in T7.

TyPin.9860:

Malediktus.9250:

Transfering to a server which is below the server ranking you are on should always be free.

Not sure about that. It would make match manipulation by stacking on a certain lower ranking servers way easier.

At first yes, but it would balance out over time because people can only transfer to servers with lower ranking for free and pay full price for better servers.

I agree there is some kind of account luck. I got 30 accounts and they all give vastly different loot experiences

Transfering to a server which is below the server ranking you are on should always be free.

Lord Kuru.3685:

Perhaps the cap should be lowered another 10% since the first 10% didn’t fix the lag?

What about lowering cap by 100%? That has a 100% chance to fix the lag.

People stacks on T1 and then complains about queue…

The queues were almost gone except for a few times a week, now they are back on all maps.

I wasted forever to find out that the fight pits are removed/bug last time I did map completion. Its outrageous that Anet removes something like this from the game.

Maybe its Anets way to force people to transfer servers to make more money of WvW players

Good riddance. Better delete them from game completly.

The game is perfectly playable with exotics. No need to be in a rush for ascended.

warduke.1780:

Venturers of the Mists and all other 3-way karma exploiters need to be stopped. If ArenaNet aren’t willing to do their jobs and ban them, the players will take matters into their own hands.

Watching 80% of a karma train being feared off a cliff is just too funny for words.

The funny thing is, even if you call out a necromancer ahead of time, most of the pugs ignore it and run into the trap anyway. Makes it very annoying at times to be a eotm commander

It is very overpowered

Anet could always hire more people to do content updates + AddOn at the same time.

At the very least they could rerelease old events like crown pavillon, liadri, SAB w1/2 etc or do a WvW season.
