Guild Wars 2

Things that forces me to not use my passwords itself and invent new ones… KILLS ME.

I always need to use “forgot password” thing, I can’t remember duzens of duzens of passwords for everything —’

I would be much easier block the acess to Our PC than this password rules madness.

Surely agree with UP there, that it should be all in the monthly build but every Week or something new things come Up in that same Living Story, without Launch all the Content in that Update day, and get without any more content for 1 month till the next update.

Heya.

I’m wondering about Living Story compared to the major events Oct., Nov, etc…
And… I can’t by any form achiv the fun I had in those events, in the actual Living Story.

I can’t understand why soo much “teasers”, very little content, almost no action at all.
Just makes me sad, because the old ones, even with the trouble of Lag, Bugs, and One-Time-Events… Those gave me more fun for longer than Living Story is.

But I will wait and see if Living Story in March will be able to bring to fun that the 2012 Monthly Events gave me.

Join a low pop server.

Or QQ more.

Pay my Gem Transfer please. I will not leave my guild and friends just because WvW decided to get unplayable because the queues and nobody does nothing about it.

It looks like when there is an issue, it’s always the Players fault, there is hours of queues? Sure, don’t u like it go away to another place!

I remember in the first times of the game, the nightmare of WvW Queues was soo big that ANet even announced they wanted to increase alot the CAP, but after a while they just waited months to players start to leave and play less.

Straegen.2938:

There will be queues on the EB and the home borderland but I would be REALLY surprised to see hour queues on all BLs even on reset night. I could be wrong but even so it could shift a few people further south into T3-T8.

I am in a Server that is not really ranked about Tiers… Still everyday Eternal is with Queues.

I remember, in the first times of the game, WvW was with like, queues that would go Up 8H!
Then no, I won’t be suprised, because the WvW limits wasn’t changed, and nothing points they will be increased this Month.

Luiz Swordbreaker.6547:

I don’t understand why all the hate against T1… you see, it’s not our fault that the lack of updates drove 90% of the WvW players away.

Most players that moved to T1, did so they could actually have some fights and competition , instead of risking playing on empty maps and PvDoring. Even so, playing on JQ NA, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a queue on more than 2 maps, except for reset night, and we are usually outmanned on at least one of the BLs.

For me no Hate, they now will be the sad Ones with the queues they have already transform in queues soo long that you need Zoom In 1000x to see the end of the line :P

Deathdom.8250:

Queue? Haven’t seen one for 2 months now outside of reset. Would be nice to have one again.

Lucky you, mosts time I try to enter it queues me. I wont stop sleeping for enter in the game in the hours there is less people playing —’

Mister Mustard.7203:

Sure, the first few weeks will probably be long queues as people want to take the new toy for a spin. But after a while, the people who don’t like to get killed by other players will remember they don’t like getting killed by other players, and the people who were only mildly interested before will remember the reasons why. A few will find they really enjoy it and become more active, but after a month or so it will probably settle back down similar to what you see today.

With Progression in WvW, that is this month Update, WvW will became much more a type of play, and it will really, be more people there playing for longer times.

Unless, this expansion is a failure, then it will come back to what it was before.

GrandmaFunk.3052:

I seriously doubt we’ll see a “tsunami of people” joining WvW for the first time just because of the patch.

There might be a trickle of new people overtime, but it’s not like queues will magically appear in most tiers that don’t have them now.

You seriously aren’t aware what happens when launching thins here. In every new thing that came, as hugely overloaded when it was launched for several days.

In general PVE we that tsunamis doesn’t cause much trouble since they overflow it all.
In WvW, there isn’t overflow.

For you be aware of it, in some servers there is ONLY needed 1 of the big WvW guilds join in one WvW MAP, to make it full. In that empty WvW servers, they are the lucky ones now!

How things changed ahah

Skill Lag. Culling I can random click everything to try to hit something. Skill Lag I just need to lie there waiting to my death.

In our tier we have queues of 1h already in some hours, I can’t imagine with this expansion that will make plenty come back to play WvW all die.

If this is at it is, without any change to the WvW Limits, then I would say 3 to 7 Hours of Queue in the first times, and then some normal of 1,2 hours of queues in normal servers.

In Hight Tier Servers, you may need to enter the queue 1 Day before and get in to play next day

Heya.

I don’t want to hate here, and nothing like that. I only want to say that for a player who play since the start and Know that there is an WvW expansion coming this month….

I’m very afraid the Hours of Queues to WvW are Coming Back!

Because we all know, with an WvW expansion this month, an tsunami of people will come to the WvW, and far we know there is no expansion of the limit of players in a WvW Map.

That said it’s almost guaranteed that it will be a nightmare enter in WvW after 26th Update.

For you guys that were in the middle of the Hours of Queues in the first times of the game… What do you think about this?

I Want to point this Thread of an DEV talking about this in September:

Sorry my English

Eclipses.7152:

I’m expecting this update to suck.

Thinking of this update has me remembering that “Lowered Expectations” skit MadTV used to do.

Then you probably won’t be disappointed. lol

It’s just strange, by this time they must have the update ready, can’t understand why they don’t give us the overview of the Update as they did in all of last months for we know what’s coming.

Unless they want us to know only after the update is live.

Heya.

I know ANet is all about “when it’s ready”.

But there is only 6 days to the update…
If the ANet isn’t ready to give the Overview of the Update (as they did last months), how can they be ready to the update itself?

Mad Questions… Mad Questions…

It’s strange how this things in Market changes soo much after an update that said it didn’t changed nothing about it.

I’m wondering, but I get MAD when even Exotics give me no Ecto —’

Guardians can be powerful healers, even with melee weapons.

About Healing XP, I never noticed such thing, since they don’t want dedicated healers in this game surely I win no exp only for heal the ones killing.

It must be an Post already!

Soo many teasers for somethings, soo little teasers for things as an Major update coming this month.

Update the Update Page Already! O_o

DarkRyu.5103:

Anyone there who has a legendary and definitely knows ?

What I said it’s what it is, I guess it was not updated, nothing in patch notes says it, only your allies will see the effect, but never the enemies.

Underwater combat is just not fun. It isn’t, I avoid underwater the max I can, I guess it’s because the limited number of weaps and skills underwater, it’s just not expanded.

Bobby do you know if you going to keep it this is with soo many teasers and the action only in the end?

Or there is going to be more action in the next Living Stories?

Because we quite don’t need that much of teasers, maybe a mix of teasers and action.

I just would like Story to be more expanded, why not a bit voice acting, or even expand our OWN story mode with the monthly stories?

What we do in thoose Stories should be written in our legend, that place when we press H key that ended up when we finished story mode.

A living story itself should give us PERSONAL Story Quests also (not saying PVE ones shouldn’t be there), instanced… Like Mad King Boss, it was AWESOME. I want more of that, please.

Heya.

Far I know from a discussion some time ago, even in stealth you and your allies will see the footsteps, but NOT the enemies

If they are going to be added.

They will be Makeup Set Limited, for SURE, since there are already new colours exclusives there ^^

Since there is a buff of Magic Find in WvW when we are in lower numbers, I belive there must affect the drop rates of bags, and by itself the bagdes also.

It would make no sense if it didn’t. Also beware that magic find is the chance to drop something more rare, soo the question here is… Are the bagdes in the loot tables that are affected by magic find?

Sorry my english

2 OPTIONS: End the Timers or ReMake Meta Events.

1/ Make Meta-Events more RANDOM, for stop all this timers that overload the maps with players/guests for do when the time is close!

2/ Also thoose events are Sad since the Launch, it’s just standing there in auto-attack, there is NO Epic fight, and with all the lag itself, we can’t really have any decent or fun experience anymore.

The annoying ones are lol.

For example the ones who only we see.. When the Physics system of the game Fails, in our char, and instead we walk we lie in the ground, or our arms get stuck in our head with the greatsword pointed to the sky….

When something FAILS and we enter in a Infinite Ocean behind down the map itself…

Botting wont work really. They will only check if it’s using some automated program.

If it was the person itself doing that, Botting wont flag anything far I can know.

What I hate is that we can’t add descriptions to Reports that doesn’t fit in Category, but still a violation of the TOS of the game.

The best way for somethings is complain by ticket for do a report that you can’t do in-game.

Some extended tutorial to the game would help alot to stop one thing:
- Days ago a guildie of mine, legendary, play since headstart… Just learned for the first time the icon with the arrow near the health globe, it shows how many times can you go down without die, when it’s red next time u go down u are instant kill.

There NEVER was any tooltip for that, game just… wanted us to know that since the first momment we played it. Most of things we must learn by ourselfs, and sometimes we are just wrong, but the game wont help in that aspect.

All games have their Wiki, but this one is where without the Wiki, all players would be running in circles.

Sad for me It’s that I must close the game to open the wiki —’

About exotic drops in PVE; never more again after NOV.
Only in Dungeons and Fractals

Sadly, I agree with the OP.

It’s vague in some point, because it fails with immersion, it fails alot to give the players immersion in all that’s is going on.

In other way, it would be fixable with this:
- More Content, really, it needs more, not just a event and some achivs, it since it is a monthly update it needs enough content to the month!
- More Immersion, really, it needs to get players attention to follow the story, I suppose with voice acting for example, or even one of those awesome Cinematic that Designers did (but a very limited number of them =/)… those would improve. For me a text window telling me something, doesn’t make me fell that I’m Living a Story.

About the awfull perfomance of Meta Events since Jan this year….

It’s not that culling is worse, it’s that they changed that one-time per day lootable Chest and all server, a tsunami of guests go into the maps when it’s starting to do thoose events.

It shows with no doubts how thoose events weren’t done to handle that much people in one area.
I Supose if the guest get’s limited to don’t overload that areas of meta-events, this situation could improve since the maps wont be in overflow.

They must be. When they werent in some events, the players agroed the mobs before they get to the event itself, and it was a bit frustrating, invulnerable mobs are the reply of ANet to that.

I can Agree the missions should be unlocked by Influence.

But they SHOULD be an new category of content, and not upgrade based, it makes no sense for me, the system became a nightmare for small guilds, and if we want to do things, we must go to bigger guilds, what is sad because before the update ANet said the fact a guild to be small wont make it unable to do missions, but it does unable them.

favo.3619:

Yea is a great thing the culling fix. But there is another big problem… the terrible skill delay when there are lot of people nearly… in www near a zerg i can t heal my self…. i can t hide my self. My skill never start… is there a plan or solution for this problem? Because www is totaly unplayable now. I hope you answer my question. Cya

I have the exact issue sometimes. The Main attacks works, but other skills as Shouts, and the “Fs” ones, they have an huge delay… Can’t understand why is that, since just happens to some people in the X area and not to everybody.

Official Response In a Ticket I sent some time ago about the same thing, says me this:
- It’s not bannable.
- You can get banned by it, because the automated systems used to detect bot gold transfers, then they can’t guarantee that you wont be banned for do such this several times.

You can’t say “buy a better PC”, when you meet the requeriments to play this game.
Even with weaker PCs, if they meet the requeriments to play it, they must have an playable gameplay.

Two questions:

1) Have the system requirements for the game changed as a result of this?
2) What defines “playable?” The minimum requirements only ensure that the game runs, but to what extent? Should you expect to see all character models, or just name plates?

The requirements can’t change that way, if you buy the game where you see that you meet the reqs., okay you play it, it can’t be a update saying “now it’s all updated and we increased reqs, soo go buy new pcs!”. It just can’t, ANet itself can’t say in the BOX when you buyed one thing, and then in the game other thing.

And about playable, it’s just can play, with even with low sets can have enough performance, after January the Dragons for example are a nightmare for low-end PCs that before did thoose events fine, and even for med-end pcs are pushed to their limits sometimes in thoose events.

For me it’s not playable go to an Event like a Dragon, and can’t see not even Players, not even Mobs, I can get the event because the dragon is Up. When it’s over my performance goes Up about 200%.

I don’t care about FPS Drops, I just would like to see things to be able to play that Meta Event without an huge effort for try to see where the mob is, where to go, where to hit…

You can’t say “buy a better PC”, when you meet the requeriments to play this game.
Even with weaker PCs, if they meet the requeriments to play it, they must have an playable gameplay.

Like I said, this game can’t think only in high-end PCs, when the most of the players for sure doesn’t play with one.

Yes indeed. I hope at least an FIX for the main META events, where after recent updates are invaded by tsunamis of players and guests when these events start. Culling there just destroys all the fun we would possible have with the event.

Hello.

I just saw the great news for WvW.

But since January Patch that I started to have Culling in PVE for the first times, mainly in Meta Events where even Mobs are Invisible sometimes!

Then, does the end of Culling affects also PVE? Or do we need to get used to “Invisible Events” in PVE?

I would like only to say, that I know Culling is also also about our Computer… but, the game must think in every kind of PCs, not only with high-end Ones.

For general pve you dont really need one

General PVE is so easy you don’t even need other players.

For Story Modes you do.
How many times I need to beg help arround to do a story mode… —’
REALLY.

I thought we needed a group to complete the personal stories.

Don’t we? There are stories mode that we have 2 options:
- Call for help.
- Wait till higher levels to do it easier.

Heya.

I was in WvW Today, there were 3 Huge Zergs inside SM.

I was used to FPS Drops, that’s OK… But this time, well, I can’t make any skills, I can use the normal attack, talk, etc… But the skills wont take any effect most of the time there.

Also already Had 3 disconencts while inside SM in the room where the Champ is, and I say it’s geral because in the team chat people are having the same problems.

I’m wondering what’s wrong? How to fix this? Is this some temporary issue or Server can’t really handle most of the people in Eternal to be inside SM Castle room?

This is happening to me since January. It was a nightmare. Then it stoped for a long time, but since Yesterday… It’s back.

It’s always that message with diferent errors… 7, 42, etc…

And it’s always the same short of help by ANet that in the end they send me to my ISP, and my ISP sends me to them. #SadStory

The only event in all PVE that is hard but fun in combat…. Is Grenth, it requires strategy.

In ALL over PVE there is no depht in Bosses or Mobs, it’s just clicks and kills, also in events, they doesn’t represent nothing that will make me need to focus for fight them.

Only dungeons and fractals give me that, PVE can’t give me a decent fight anymore.

I like this one. Very clean, friendly and just a click away to get what we need.

But if the .net get’s back I will use because it’s more better worked than the main one. ^^

About the “sister site”, they have their listings and that and this one should have theirs, you have the right to make another LFG website, improved, but not get their data. ^^

REALLY.

But I know that they are working in remake the LFG System.

I only Hope they really remake it… And not just add some “shiny” things to make it pretty.
Some systems made in the actual game in last updates look like things that were done “without enough time” that seem to be a bit…. scratched.

Why must there be an site to replace something where the game failed about?

The site itself shows how something external like it is soo needed to find suitable groups for do our things.

A LFG System would ruin the community? You must be CRAZY, spending hours sometimes to find suitable groups for some dungeons / story modes, etc… Is still a reality, with that site or not.

Fractals itself shows how the game Failed in don’t have one, before the update it was a NIGHTMARE to get a party to do our level.

Soo in some people words “Let’s not have a LFG System! Let’s all use external websites that adds functions that the game itself doesn’t have!!!”

Today I am with this issue.

The game is lame in this aspect. This happened last time 2 weeks ago, 2 days with this problems. After that, nothing, today the game disconnects me every 30-45min.

What drives me crazy with the Support is that they blame me but if it was my fault it would be a regular problem, not something that decides to come from nothing…
Also this first started to happen only after January Patch. Never before since launch did I get such issues.

“Strange sense of entertainment.”

Yup, you DEVs really have it.

GW2 is okay even if GW1 can beat the 2 in some areas.

For me GW2 ONLY Fails because:
- Hugeness of Grind at endgame, where the objectives for PVE are resumed to grind to gear.

If GW2 was a true revolution, there would be new ways to add endgame content without we need to do repetitive content over and over for get what we want, what is called GRIND.
