Why is loot so bad in WvW?
They are looking into it…tune in next year…
Seriously they after to form 3 talking shops to brainstorm it and of course this can only happen during a blue moon for obvious reasons…
Its going to be scaled down, so rather than take 10+yrs to achieve, they will take 1-2 years. Which probably means some players will get them in a few months, when its introduced…
I think the personal story was a very good idea, originally.
Upto lvl 30 its good, revolves around your character, after lvl 30 you just become a grunt for other characters and its about them and not your character. So it is not a personal story after lvl 30, its a generic tale about how great Anet’s npc’s are, who spend most of there time dead.
We already got a currency Badges of Honour, no need for another…
So NO
How can their be such huge mobility gaps?
Actually, its a good question…seeing as speed boost is capped at 33%…
Its hardware…someone with a better computer than you loads everything faster and so always appears a little ahead…it often happens after you waypoint the commander is like miles away…
Changing the achievements so they only take 1-2 years instead of 10+ like now is good…but they should have them in stages, so if a player plays WvW for 500 hours, they can expect to have 3-4 WvW achievements already. Its stupid that someone like me who has 1500 hours in WvW, still has not got one WvW title from achievements. Why have all of them take forever to get?
The waypoints, I hope they don’t remove them from WvW, it would have a negative impact on WvW, getting into fights fast is fun, travelling ages then missing the fight is rubbish…
Commander tags they need to be careful about giving commanders to much power over there fellow player with any changes. It would encourage ‘elitism’ in WvW, which already exists anyway. We already have some commanders trolling other players by turning tags off and on.
I would like them to have several different ways to obtain ascended armour, sure crafting can be one of them, but make sure there are other ways as well…because a lot of people don’t like crafting. A lot find it tedious and boring…
Really, I would be happy if they allowed the crafters of ascended to sell it on the Trading Post…probably not going to happen however as we would then obtain the gear way too fast.
Here’s a link to allow everyone to read Devon’s answers for themselves, you do not need to be a member of that website to read it.

You after read it bottom to to top, that was the order Devon answered questions in.
Actually a few good things so far:-
Going to get ascended backpacks in WvW, within next 2 months.
From 15th Oct ranking chests will have better loot.
He’s the black sheep of the family…completely sane!
No backpack?
Oh…spooky…
You know what, I like to zerg…yep I do, even if everyone on this forum hates me…its great fun…also I know I am not on my own because I seem to be surrounded by 10-100+ others who like zerging too…
I have seen a few posts that point to Anet bringing in changes that will effectively destroy zergs fullstop…
Trust me if they bring those in, it will destroy WvW…it involves nerfing loot to the extent you don’t get any if your group is in a bigger size then 10…it won’t be popular at all…
WvW is about LARGE scale combat, not 1v1 or 5v5, that’s what PvP is for, I wish some players would get that and stop trying to change WvW.
I love the creepy clown-in-a-box scythe…both visually and sound effects are great.
Nothing new has been added, you missed a lot of temporary content that won’t be re-lived.
So, its essentially still the same game you left it.
This and don’t worry about the temp stuff you missed…because, ‘meaningless fluff’ sums it up…
RNG and I don’t care if you don’t like the correct answer…
If they do reduce the stat buff, why will anyone go near the ruins?
Already, even with the stat buff as it is, the majority of players avoid it and stay were the loot is…you also get more fights there too…cause that’s where everyone is…
A lot of words…
When you just could have said, “Everyone be respectful of each another even through you may disagree”…
Why so many words?
I hope all the old content is in for this years Halloween, it was one of the best events in the past year.
Exactly how I feel.
Also, I never got a chance to play lunatic inquisition, so looking forward to playing that somemore.
Really, the festivals should have the same content as last year, just update the rewards. If Anet want to add bits, do some polish all the better…
Remember on the 15th, WvW leagues are coming as well, plus a big balance patch with a lot of changes to traits/skills.

Based on Anet’s track record over the past year:-
1. RNG skins or other special item, drop chance 1 in 1,000,000.
2. 3-6 mixed greens, blues, whites, 1s43c, 2-5 candy corn.
3. A scarey clown jack-in-a-box.
A green or a blue item, cause that’s whats in every GW2 box I have ever opened!
The Mad King had better be back or I will be Mad…
Should have started Halloween 1.10.13 and let it run the entire month of October…
I would of liked Mad King to run the entire of October, it really would not have clashed with the new dungeon path…
I am a little concerned about any changes they make to last years event, loved it last year but recent changes they have made to GW2 have me concerned they may kitten it up…
An hour if you level 2 professions and have the gold to buy the materials
Only give 7 levels now because ascended crafting was introduced, so would be 74th level.
Leveling by crafting is not so good now really…
A week in WvW, playing 2 hours a day…
You can play 11 hours a day? Well in a zerg in WvW 1.5 days at the most.
You could get a 2nd character to lvl 80 as well in a week and have all 8 character classes level 80 in 7 weeks…

No…I think the expansion would sell really well…
It would also cause more new people to jump aboard, ie…get the original GW2 + Expansion.
If they released a bundle with GW2+expansion, plus expansion on its own for everyone who also had original they would sell the most…
Current sales are between 3m to 4m, a expansion would sell 2m to 3m at least and a bundle of GW2+expansion would sell 1m+, those would be new players.
It would after be same level of quality as original game and joined up, not like the living story is now, all over the place and a bit of a mess…
15th Oct………………………………….
Same to do, as when you left…
Really, nothing new for level 30 or less characters, other than champion trains in Queensdale mainly. A few changes in WvW and its a good place to level.
The Living Story currently pretty much assumes everyone is level 80 with exotics/ascended…
New players/old players with low level characters are just being left further and further behind, Anet does not seem to do anything to help new players out in GW2.
Its the same as it was when you quit a few months ago, so in all likely hood you would quit again sooner or later…
But, like you said are there any alternative games worth playing atm…
For the majority of players Teq has just become something that they don’t even bother to think about any more when playing the game- it’s as if they removed a chunk of one map from the game, just somewhere that no longer exists for them
True.
That entire part of Sparkfly Fen may as well been cut from the game completely. All the other dynamic events around it will be avoided as well, because on most servers it fails 99.99% leaving those pods, which are annoying and you don’t want to bother with.
In 1-2 months even the dedicated guilds to doing it won’t bother…
Is Guild Wars 2 Alt Friendly or Not?
No.
Its one of most alt unfriendly games I have ever played.
Any roadblock they can put in your way to having alts they do.
The current Tequatl fight should become a guild mission…its much better there, since only big guilds can do it really…
The old Tequatl should be restored to Sparkfly Fen.
Everyone should be happy then.
Over a year later, and GW2 is…in some ways WORSE than the day it was launched.
I love the ruins but the bloodlust mechanic needs to be revised as well as there needs to be better rewards for playing in the ruins.
I would leave the bloodlust alone…
But putting some kind of reward in the middle of those 5 circles might be a good idea…perhaps a champion (for champion loot) or a ‘mini’ boss? Something that gives loot anyway and the ruins would be very popular…
If Anet run to form they will continue to ‘tinker’ with bloodlust/ruins, trying to make us like it, its what they usually do with something we don’t like…
After a period of tinkering (could last months) if we still don’t like it, they usually just ignore it/the problem and make something new instead…
So don’t hold your breath about it disappearing any time soon…
It seems to me, the majority of players are ignoring bloodlust/ruins, so its not really a big deal, just another Anet brainstormed idea that fell flat…
You have to view WoW separate from every other MMO because WoW is awesomely successful and no other MMO as ever got near it.
WoW’s subscription base does show a constant decline over a period of years but every time a new expansion comes out they regain several million players. So expansions, at least in WoW ATTRACT players.
Last time I checked WoW still had 8 million subscription players which is AWESOME and any other MMO would love…
Hand shoots up! Me, me…
Honestly, the ranking chests in WvW, I have only ever had 1 green item per chest and I have opened 300+ by now. Well plenty of others in WvW are constantly linking exotics, precursors and ascended…
I still have a mad, insane laugh when I remember Devon or some other dev posting ‘plenty of ecto’s now’ ha ha ha ha
Same in PvE I never get any exotics or better, never anything worth 1 gold +
It sucks big time, GW2 has the worst, rubbish loot in any game EVER MADE IN THE HISTORY OF PLANET EARTH!
I get better loot in Diablo 3 and I never thought I would say that!?!

World Ranker is no problem to me as I usually get at least 2 Wxp ranks a day, however, you are right it should just be 1, 2 is too much.
Master of Ruins started doing it yesterday but after standing in 2 circles, was bored to tears, could not be bothered with the other 3…
I stopped chasing achievement points ages ago so I will NEVER BOTHER completing this utterly useless daily task. I will however have a quiet chuckle to myself every now and again thinking about all the ‘mindless drone’ achievement chaser players wasting there life doing this…lol
Well they were bound to make a daily for them…

Its good to see so many players enjoying the new content…
As a matter of interest did you do WvW on multiple characters last week?
If so did you just get 3 bonus chests total for your account or did each character on your account get 3 chests?
Ie…you did WvW with 2 characters last week and got 3 extra with each of them?
Expansion for me.
You get better quality, which has been more thoroughly tested, balanced and polished. Plus because they have 12-18 months to work on it, it allows content like new character classes, multiple new proper zones (with vistas, hearts, skill points, well thought out dynamic events) and the content is more joined together/seamless.
The LS continues to be hit/miss, buggy, a little all over the place and rushed at the cost of creativity.
So…those extra chests…
Will we get them at end of the week reset, according to our servers finish position?
Does everyone on the server get them? Or only players who fought in WvW that week?
Are they exactly the same as the Wxp chests or different?
Why does account bound matter/make a difference?
No one does ruins because there’s no loot there…
Spotted this straight away, so had a look, thought pretty, never went back unless just zerging through to the next target/loot.
I spotted this in half an hour. Why can’t the folks at Anet figure this out?
Really have some bad decision makers at Anet…intelligent people with no common sense (wisdom)perhaps?
Why delete it at all?
Why could they not add it as a 4th path?
Would that really be to much to ask?
If they had give 2 weeks notice that path would have been played a lot in the last 2 weeks, as one final hooray…
Yet another awesome, fantastic decision by Anet…
Looks like they are giving us new permanent content but deleting other permanent content to make room…

You have been able to buy hoodies from the gemstore for ages…
Been in the game since the start…I think…thief starts with one?

There is a clear problem with Ele’s in PvP…any time a class is abandoned by the player base is a sure sign that the class has a big problem.
Rather than bring the karma bottles back, I think increasing karma gained by doing events, especially the harder events/content.
Being able to earn 4,500 – 9,000 (using boosters) karma from just doing your daily did make karma worthless. I still have over 3 million karma and have spent 17 million karma before that.
