Guild Wars 2

Its a very annoying change, but to make up for it I never turn my tag off now. So other people can be annoyed by what annoys me.

cheese.4739:

Sooo… the people who could achieve things, like winning PvP matches by contributing significantly, now have an advantage on the achievement points board?

I see absolutely no problems with this.

Its not about winning, but having to win 8 times every single day if you dont want to miss achievements. It takes more time than all other dailies at any given day combined. Yes even if there is world ranker daily in wvw.

decease.3215:

you don’t need to do them all… serious i never done them all.. i just play regularly =)

another one who doesnt understand what the thread is about

Trying to do all the new pvp dailies every day, buts its a large pain
But I see no other way to reach my goal of becoming top 25 EU

BaconCatTheGreasy.9542:

Please don’t pick up kegs. At least half the people ignore you and pick up kegs.
Please range Warden 3. One platform always wipes because they melee.
So on and so forth.

Why do players in this game have such a problem listening to orders? In games such as Eve Online, if a Commander tells you to do something people actually listen.

because they are casuals or trolls with anti-authoritarian education lol

^The low population of achievement hunter is a direct result of anets decision. Trust me there were many many more achievement hunters when there were only 4 dailies. They all stopped caring about achievements or playing completly because of the huge time requirement every single day. Anet basically killed a whole playstyle.

Romek.4201:

wanna have a report button too for people like this :

“i play how i want”
“its just soloQ”
“mad?”
“i play for fun”
…..

when i have 3 thiefs in team or 2+ glascannon imba dps guards or like yesterday 3 ele and we lose the first minutes and its like 200:50 than i go afk and i have the right to do it.

when people dont care to play the game competive than i don´t care to play the game at all with this people

simple

this, I cant blame people for going afk if their team is useless. If i see a game is getting lost I wont try to prolong it. I just want my daily 8 wins as fast as possible.

there are probably less than 200 true achievement hunters left in the game, both EU and NA included. Thats very few considering GW2 is said to have 400k+ active players

worst of all Anet never answered to any of the threads concerning too many time consuming daily APs ever, they prefer to delete or lock them. Which I guess means the craps is here to stay

My server basically gave up on wurm, its saturday primetime and we had maybe 30 people attend. People here rather go to tequatl which spawns at the same time but gives guranted and easy loot (my server kills him like 6 times a day)

I think the Zenit weapons are a problem, because a skin you can have with infinite use at just 1k AP bears no value to me.
I never ever use them anymore after the hype died a few days later after the first people got the 1k chest.

Aza.2105:

Mantle would benefit GW2 more than DX11 ever could. Why? Mantle reduces the cpu overhead greatly. GW2 is a cpu intensive game. If you look at the reviews of Mantle, its a bit faster than DX11 but enormously faster with cpu limited scenarios.

This is why the benchmarks for bf4 show a 64 player scenario, since the 64 players make the game more cpu intensive than single player does. We already see this in GW2: In wvw the performance is bad because the cpu can’t process the information fast enough to send to the gpu and in places like LA the same issue repeats itself.

Reducing the cpu overhead entirely would give the game a huge boost in performance.

It doesnt matter if Mantle benefits GW2 more than DX11 if Mantle is only supported by a fraction of the GPUs currently who support DX11. I sure as hell wont buy AMD because of Mantle.

DX11 and 64bit have much larger market share than Mantle. Most people wont have a mantle GPU anytime soon. http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey
Its also more likely Nvidia will make their own mantle than use AMD stuff.

Doubt it will happen if they dont even support 64bit or DX 11. Alot more people would profit from these instead of Mantle

Malediktus.9250:

And who knows what Anet will make after that.

I think we could use a few more back pieces, myself. Preferably fire themed.

Good idea.

A Massive Headache.1879:

Malediktus.9250:

Indeed its quite funny, since the game was advertised as being able to take a break from playing it (eg if you run out of meaningul content to do) and continuing it at a later time without loosing out.

those boots will take a minimum of X hours spent in game. you can take a break and come back just fine, but if you want to grind ap for a pair of boots, well, no other way around that than by playing the game

Either way you put it, you loose out, since Anet will keep adding more and more rewards. You will need 36k AP to have both sets in complete. And who knows what Anet will make after that.

Stonemist rolls eyes 1.5 years in and I don’t have 10 caps on that achievement.

Well, mathematically speaking while we’re on WvW achievements, I’m nearing 10,000 dolyaks killed. At this rate it’ll only be 498 more years until I have that Yakslapper achievement

I dont think 498 years, more like 150 years.

Indeed its quite funny, since the game was advertised as being able to take a break from playing it (eg if you run out of meaningul content to do) and continuing it at a later time without loosing out.

Ayrilana.1396:

Yeah. I probably overestimated how quickly they could get the achievements. I assumed that they still had enough permanent ones to give them that extra push.

Most permanent achievements take quite a few hours to get once you reach this stage. Unless they are from the most recent patch of course.

More like 2 weeks

Stop crying, get farming temporary achievements for 6hours a day. I think thats what Anet wants us to do so their metrics look better

Noone had 21k yet, but there are people close to it (20k+). So it was about time to make this update.

I dont need this commander symbol over my head to locate myself. If someone cant locate himself he should put the graphic settings up, change his armor dyes or maybe even see a doctor.

subtitles wont help. I doubt this game will be even still be supported in 10 years time
They need to be maxable in around 2 years of dedicated playing tops.

I dont get the fuss about it here. In worst case it will take 36k AP to have full radiant and hellfire armor set. The first people will definatly have that in a year tops.

Ayrilana.1396:

I usually just do the 4 original PvP achievements since I know the other four are time consuming. I can usually do the PvE ones in 30 minutes (longer if one is a dungeon), the WvW take 30 minutes of less depending on which ones, and the PvP takes about 30 minutes. For sPvP, I don’t care about rank so I normally go all out on my first match and then look for nearly finished matches to complete the match participation achievement.

You loose 1460 points per year if you skip the 4 new pvp dailies, plus all the permanent achievements which come alongside doing them.

Hopefully Evon and the BLC dies in the attack.

Mochann.5298:

That’s fine, because doing special objectives 2,150 times is far easier than taking Stone Mist 25,000 times.

I dont understand. I probably spent 1000h on EB and I only have 243 SM captures.

It takes me upto 6 hours a day per day to do all the dailies. The 5 SoloQ and 3 TeamQ wins in pvp are the main problem. Even if you have 100% win rate (which is unrealistic) it will take 2 hours alone. With a realistic win rate of 50% (long term) it will take 4 hours per day on average. Add another 2 hours per day to do the PvP and WvW dailies.
On some days I dont get anything in the game done except grinding dailies…

So the new EoTM titles seem to be two you can already get for existing WvW achievements.

EoTM:
Destroy 1750 generators – Ultimate Raider
Take 2150 special objectives – Ultimate Liberator

Old WvW:
Take Stone Mist Castle 25,000 times – Ultimate Liberator
Take Camps 100,000 times – Ultimate Raider

Did Anet reach a new level of laziness? What happened to making the old WvW achievements more realistic goals?

Darkobra.6439:

Malediktus.9250:

21k is fair.
19.3k AP atm here

I don’t see how that helps your case at all. You basically said “It’s alright for me! I can get it tomorrow!”

Blame Anets temporary achievement system, living story, daily and monthly. You can get like 1000 points per month from those.

Sure. I think I miss at least 500 points of daily and monthlies thought. Have been slacking for a month when Crab Toss was a daily and it made me outraged and sometimes dont manage all PvP dailies.

21k is fair.
19.3k AP atm here

lvl 30 is a joke. 30 hours of casual wvw

the information is correct.

Deleting kegs seems like unfair play to me, thought I sometimes do it in desperation.

Please undo, its super annoying and distracting.

Anet was too lazy to think of new titles. They also didnt bring the old WvW achievements down as promised for last year already. Outrageous.

Vol.7601:

nerk.5462:

:> so you can go http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Feathered_armor
4-5silver per piece + transmutation (360gems and have 4 spare)
or
800gems for the the flame effect <.<

Is that a problem? In this game you can have the BIS weapon for under 200g, or decide to go for a flashier one and spend +2000g.

Its a problem if they ask for 10€ for a crappy reskin of a cheap armor.

Afk logout is an instant stack of dishonorable, so you can even get 2 stacks per game I believe. One for afk and one for not being present at the end of the match.

Dragonite Ore is worthless :/ I am already sitting on 147 dragonite bars.

Wanze.8410:

Dondarrion.2748:

Actually, I don’t necessarily miss the Wings of the Sunless, but I’d kill for crystalline Wings of the Branded or something like that. Purplish, crystalline wings to go well on a mesmer

Or forget about all the purple and let me change the purple hue on my mesmer to another colour! (ed. although that’s an entirely different topic!)

Unfortunately Hylek Hue Potions dont affect Backpieces:

Subsampling hurts my eyes.

Yargesh.4965:

I have found that Southsun can change very rapidly without an update. Doing a run then finding it different 1 hour latter is not really fun. GW2nodes seems to have become infested with trolls and the nodes are all over the place this past week or so.

If noone is left in the instance it will be deleted from the server and a new one will be created once the next person joins. This results in new node locations every time.

~5000 hours played, closing in to 20k AP and no precursors from outside of mystic forge

VOLKON.1290:

only available with premium currency

As previously stated it is possible to get a sprocket node in your home instance by completing achievements. Therefore the pickaxe is not the only way to acquire sprockets after Scarlet disappears.

Further, since you can convert gold to gems, it’s not exclusive in it’s means of obtainment. You can get one without spending a cent if you want one so badly.

Time is money. If you have an income in real life, trading gold for gems is the worse solution. If I go working for 1h and trade gems for gold I get at least 4x as much gold as farming for one hour. And its not even a well paid job.

Boomstin.3460:

Pretty brutal saving even the bug fixes until the big patch to try counter Eso. New features i can kinda understand but things like this…
Talk about kittening your customers over. Guess it fits the pattern.

Good thing I already preordered TESO. So the next updates better be awsome if Anet wants me to stay.

zamalek.2154:

One suggestion I had for another game was to use a translation service (Google Translate/whatever) on the players’ behalf. This could even be done on the client.

I’m not sure how the translation services would deal with some of the acronyms/lingo that some regions use though – still, even poor translations would give players a general idea of what is being said.

In all honesty though, this isn’t a problem. European players/problems are notoriously ignored or poorly treated by all MMO devs – I am not holding thumbs as to any attention being paid to us regarding this problem.

Exactly its being ignored. So it is a problem.

Keg Brawl is my favorite of the current minigames. So being only able to play it once per week, the afkers and the lag are the worst offenders for me.

My least favorite minigame is crab toss. Too much chaos.

Just keep using your own language until Anet realizes this problem themselves.

Game has many problems, but Anet consists of several teams working on different areas.
