Guild Wars 2

I really don’t know why they don’t make a battlemage as a 3rd heavy…Thus its a caster and a heavy.. It could deal in pure arcane energy…and probably remove that from the elementalist which never made sense to me anyway. Isn’t this what the rumoured chronomancer was supposed to be?

Without having to send an email first?

Honeslty Im sick of having to log into my email to aunthenticate the game so I can log in. Mainly because I use Hotmail and sometimes the e-mail from anet takes ages to come through. Can’t I just click the game and go? Is there some way to do this in the settings?

Thanks.

PS: I keep getting a bug saying your topic is too long 45 characters only…I only had 39 with my original question!

First of all..I never said I was a great wow player…What I “implied” was that their dungeon design and boss mechanics were emphatically superior to GW2..and I stand by that. kitten.

Well, has it occurred to you that perhaps you need to step it up, rather than have the devs reduce its difficulty?

I can’t agree with what you said about WoW mechanics being superior, as I found them too clunky/forced from time to time.

DId u actually read the op?? Jesus…honestly..Difficulty isn’t my main grievance…kitten

WOW…I don’;t think you understand AT ALL! Have you ever played wow? Nearly every boss dungeon has a proper mechanic…and guess what..they did it 8 years before GW2 ..nifty huh?…THe best thing about this boss is the lazy and irratatign “mechanics” and the extra hp..its like totally win win….

I played wow since day 1 untill the 26th of june this year. I dont recall a single fight that requires a full team effort or that was as challenging as this. Shattered halls pre nerf patch and grim Batol before the nerf patch come the closest in terms of difficulty, but they wherent as teambased as this one is. It was more taxing on healers (since i played mostly healers i know).

No instance in wow has such a nice mix of mechanics, teamplay and challenge. Please correct me if im wrong. Name me one specific 5 man wow instance that does have all of these ingredients.

Really?? like REALLY? Literally any of THEM!…-_- We shall agree to disagree ok…cos u are so far off base..and prolly just looking for attention

If you had been such a great WoW player, as you seem to imply, you wouldn’t have any problems with this dungeon. This comes from an ex-WoW player.

Locuz.2651:

So what youre saying is that you want 5 man content to be soloable like in wow? Simple tank and spank fights where every single group no matter how bad they do will 1 shot the boss.

There are three things that make this dungeon the best 5 man content ive played so far:

- All fights require a teameffort.
- Fights are based on mechanics instead of zerging a boss down.
- Its hard enough to make it a challenge but doable enough so even not fully optimized pug groups can do it.

If you dont like this struggle. Just wait a few weeks untill the majority of players know exactly what to do + watch some youtube vids to get an idea of the tactics.

CoF path 1 is still here for you.

Indeed….but really…is it worth spending all that time in that path for those rewards? I predict this path..and I would bet all of my 8 80’s on this..that it will be even less popular than the previous F/U path…

Lol..what an utter waste of time

lol..she is a total cliché and extremely annoying..and badly thought out…what the HELL are they playing at..its like they are trolling their players…

The whoel path is absolute garbage….the irony of them replacing TA f/u for this lol

I’ve played WOW, SWTOR, anarchy online, AION, GW1…and numerous others..I have yet to see a more boring, ill thought out, punishing and pointless waste of time than this new TA path.

First off, what is with the endless waves of trash mobs that can’t be skipped and are merely there to hold you back…I also love the wurms HAVE to kill in order to open up the next way through.

Alarm bells rang when I first got to the ooze bit..not only can you not heal the oozes, but they reset if they don’t get there at the same time..it was excruciatingly DULL and irritating. Then there is the boss fights..As usual they are ALL hitpoint sponges and I loved the way the foreman gave no rewards…..

Then there is clockwork..lets see..electricity, mobs, cogs, that annoying wave thing….just tiresome and dull…..

Ordinarily I rarely log on here to chat on forums..but man..It’s like have you gusy actually had experience with other mmos?? There is a reason why some of them became a success…and doing what you are doing is NOT one of them. And apart from anything else..once you even get an experienced group..who in their right mind will be bothered with this path..cos it takes far too long…for beyond mediocre rewards.. Not only that..lol it has NOTHING to do with the original TA..its all so random..and atherblades..AGAIN??? WE DO NOT CARE…

I will NEVER bother with it after my achieves and to be frank..im not sure I really care about them. To top it all off everyone wa skicked after being in there for 1hour and a half cos the leader left…a BUG you still haven’t fixed..honestly..what a total and utter waste of my evening..yeh cheers anet.

I completely agree. There are hardly any non legendary staffs with particle effects for a start and the ones that do have it are very basic. If you are a staff necro, do you really want Bifrost? There is a huge opportunity for some really dramatic and creative staffs. I am so sick of seeing Greatswords everwhere I go.

Some love for staffs PLEASE!

The ability to dodge alone takes the mmo to another level. Hard to believe such a small thing could make such a big difference

dan matthews.2736:

your obviously new to the game. guild wars 2 is a grindfest. just wait til you hit 80. the developers lied and said it has no grind, “dynamic questing is so revolutionary” LOL. its the same thing as wow without talking to a person. at 80 there is no point to the game. they also said it would be a pvp game. LOL, you have all been conned hard. oh yea, they will delete this post soon. they do that when you dont like the game

Actually I’ve been playing since launch and have 5 level 80’s.

Well its not popular in the same way path 3 COf isnt popular, but Path 1 can in some cases be quicker than COf 1!

So yesterday after getting like my 5th recent e-mail both from Blizzard and Bioware, to come back to WOW and SWTOR respectively, I decided to fire them up to see what I’ve been missing.

In a nutshell..not much. I played TOR until GW2 came online and managed to max out 4 characters. So as its ftp, somewhat; I logged on to TOR to see how the game had evolved since launch. I was suprised about how dated it really felt compared to Guild wars 2.

People still shouting looking for tanks and healers, no dodge…no dynamic events, regular quests. And WOW is exactly the same. They were both good games of a time but I honestly cannot go back to playing these kinds of games after the innovations that GW2 has brought to the genre.

Guild Wars 2 may have it’s flaws, many of which are discussed ad nauseum on these boards, but the fundemental game has moved the genre on. Now if only they could combine some of the still usefull features of the old games to this new engine, then we would have a redefining MMO experience.

Nothing will touch COF path 1 for quick farming, but now that AC seems to have dropped off in popularity dramatically, has SE replaced it? I have noticed a surge in demand for groups for Sorrows path 1 and occassionaly path 3. Seems people can finally get their Sorrows armour after all!

Lol Exactly immersion…and when I see a bunch of 8 bit snakes running around in the open world in GW2..that takes me OUT of immersion. Do you see my point? Fair enough, keep the crappy event confined to the instance, but it bugs me it spilt over into the open world …..bah

Uhhhhhhhh…wait…what?

It’s not often I see the OP destroy their own argument on page one. Great job!

Nope..I acknowledged that lots of people like the event..but a lot don’t.

Honestly cut the hyperbole..and how the hell can you predict WHAT ESO will bring..community or otherwise? People need to quit drinking the kool aid..it only damages the game

I actually feel sorry for other MMO’s. I just don’t know how they can compete with GW2.

Oo I duuno..Maybe they add actual legitimate content and not juvenile fluff?

Lyenyo.2891:

This is the most fun I have EVER had in GW2!

I would totally buy this game JUST for the superbox….

PLEASE KEEP THIS FEATURE AS A SIDE-GAME!!

Are you for real??? I just do NOT get it :|

I think its absolute garbage and not at all in keeping with Guild Wars lore or themeing….I have no clue where this game is going..it gets more juvenile as the weeks go by

Yeh..it was amusing for like 5 mins, now you can get rid of it. I KNOW lots of people seem to think this event is cute..but personally, would have preferred the effort put into it was placed in a proper additional dungeon instead. And did it REALLY have to spill over into the open world??

Vayne.8563:

With regard to rangers and balance, I have a ranger in my guild. He played for a month at launch, left for a period of months and came back recently. His ranger is level 80.

He’s beaten some dungeons, including Arah path 1. He’s up to level 19 fractals now. He doesn’t think the ranger is so underpowered…why? Because he doesn’t read forums. He’s playing the game, and he’s happy as a clam with his ranger.

When I told him a lot of people see rangers as a waste and no one wants to take them into dungeons, he was like really? It doesn’t bother him, because he’s playing the game.

Seems to me the more you focus on the stupidity of elitists, the more unhappy you’ll be.

So you seem to be focusing on the playtime of what would appear to be a very casual player as the standard for all rangers. If he’s cool with it, everyone else must be right?

Ok..done discussing with you then.

I wonder how many times these types of posts are made per day.

Does that make them any less valid? Or do you comment with genuine curiosity and agreement with the points made?

Yes, it does make them less valid. Every game that exists and has players get similar posts. The more players, the more complaints.

Well its easy to generalise without identifying specific points. So forgive me if I disagree. It wasn’t a whine post..it was pretty clear that there are legitimate issues with the game. But feel free to be an Ostrich

Disagreeing that your post has merit does not make one an Ostrich.

Virtually everyone who complains feels that THEIR post is “legitimate” and “not a whine” post. Yet the vast majority are. So feeling that way is silly. I liked the update. I felt it was fun and substantial. If you don’t feel the game has been added to a great deal in the last few months, I have no idea what game you are playing, frankly.

Well..“frankly” you’re obviously playing a different one from the rest of us. I would assume you are a lone ranger in the game. Have you talked to other players? I don’t know what server you are on, but on mine, sea of Sorrows, most people I talk to or listen to in general chat or Guild chat or random pugs are UNDERWHELMED.

I’ve never understood why some people take legitimate constructive criticism of the game as a personal attack. If you are personally happy with the current level of updates , then great. But I think you are in the minority imo.

Strange, my server is largely positive about the changes…in map chat anyway. Of course, it’s usually natural for unhappy people to vent and happy people to play anyway. The question is how many people happily playing stop in map chat to say, hey, I’m happily playing.

Most people who stop to say something in map chat are venting. So it’s not a great barometer of how well a patch does.

I thought the patch was fine. Not awe-inspiring by any means, but it was fine for a free content patch. Very few MMOs come out with as much stuff as GW 2 as often and many who try do a much worse job than this.

Try comparing what SWToR did as updates in the first six months, or Rift. Then you can complain. Until then, you’re just asking for something unreasonable.

Ok..irrespective on “content”..how do you feel they have performed regarding profession balance? What profession is your main toon?

. Mostly I use my mesmer though..

Hmmmso Your main is one of the holy trinity..No wonder your happy

You claim that everyone agrees with you. They don’t – and says a lot about your argument that you think that they do. I don’t think your criticism is constructive because constructive requires you say what SHOULD be done in some detail. But you simply complain. You don’t offer solutions or improvements, just saying that you don’t like F&F and you don’t like the balance changes. That is not constructive.

Ok..I’ll keep it simple..Nice n “constructive”. Profession balance wise…I would like ALL classes to be viable for grouping to the point that people will take you irrespective of your class. At the moment, engi’s, rangers and necros get actively discriminated against because they are not seen as good as the others. I would like the other professions to have the attention and devotion placed on them that Warriors have had since day one. Have you read all the profession forums? Rangers have been beat down for months now..That is not just me saying this..that is THE general opinion ingame and on forums. The question is why? People simply don’t understand it.

I would also like to see more diversity in the builds. For example, most necros are almost forced to go conditionmancer because minions are borked and they have very few other viable options..

Content wise. Well Of course Im sure most people would like to see some more areas of the map opened up..simply for variety if anything else. But, I would like to see additional fractals made available. How awesome would it be if they mad e adwarf fractal etc? Something different from the standard that people have been farming for months now. I would wager that the majority of PVE’rs would have preferred updates to fractals or a couple of NEW dungeons introduced and time spent on creating these than the staid “living story”.

And as for living story..If you are going down this route. .Create a situation that grabs people and makes u care. Can you honestly say you are emotionally invested into whats happening right now within this game and this plotline? Most people I know in game couldn’t give a toss if the refugees where blown to kingdom come. I think the fact it was spaced out over such a long period of time didn ’t help it. Story is about immersion and emotion and empathy. ANet could indeed learn from Bioware about this.

Like I say..Im writing this cos I love the game and I want to see it excel. But feel free to label it as whining…

Vayne.8563:

I disagree with your points made. How many content upgrades did Prophecies have when it was six months old? What did they get? Sorrow’s Furnace? FoTM absolutely was better than that.

Content takes time to develop. You act like the stuff they’re providing is worthless, but it’s not. It’s also not awesome beyond all reckoning.

You have a game that launched early by anyone’s standards. It’s taken them six months to get the game to launch quality. If during that time they had one decent upgrade, that’s ahead of the game.

I think people are just impatient. If you played Prophecies at launch, six months later it was like, umm, we need more stuff. Same thing people are saying here.

If you want more stuff to do, be patient, it’s coming. But comparing Guild Wars 2 to Guild Wars 1, when Guild Wars 2 had three full games and an expansion out, just isn’t right.

Sure we all want more content. The question is how reasonable is it to expect it so soon.

You should look at other MMOs six months out and compare, before you judge.

Well imo GW1 prophecies had a LOT more content at launch than GW2 anyways. I mean just look at the map…a good 3rd of the map has yet to be revealed! In GW1 it was all available from the get go. Also you have to factor in, that was like 8 years ago. the market has changed. Competition is stronger than it has ever been. It is in THEIR interests to up the ante. And the argument isn’t really about content per se..its about whether its the RIGHT type of content.

Guild Wars 1 had a LOT less then Guild Wars 2. How you can even compare the two is beyond me.

Guild Wars 1 has 1 race with 1 starting area and six professions instead of 8. It had nothing at all like WvW. It has the slowest zones of any game I’ve every played, and yeah, I’m a fan. I sorta like that.

The water was entirely off limits, and a lot of the land areas were gated because everything was pathed. You just couldn’t go there.

How many quests all up did they have in Prophecies? About 500 and 25 missions. That’s not 1500 events, and hearts and story missions.

And while some of those missions were pretty cool, some of them were annoying as hell, and people hated them.

I think the rose-colored glasses are in effect here. Prophecies didn’t have 8 dungeons either.

You could take your time playing Prophecies but there wasn’t a huge amount of content there…considering each of the five starting areas are bigger than Pre.

Fair points. Maybe it felt like it DID have more content. But the fact is, the rules have changed..gamers have moved on..this isn’t 2002 anymore. When GW1 was active we didn’t have Rift, Aion, Tera, Secret World , SWTOR and all the other mmo’s. I fear the market is saturated and I want GW2 to be the one that survives…I’m not criticising out of attention or whining..I’m doing it cos I worry. Not to mention ESO is incoming :|

Um no Im not. Im comparing Vanilla GW1 with Vanilla GW2. In GW1 Ring of Fire, Crystal Desert Magumma jungle etc were all unlocked from launch day..Not to mention those outpost missions.

Mitch.4781:

ANET could do worse than examine the masters of MMO’s..yes Blizzard and really investigate why an 8 year old game still trounces every new mmo release to the market…The simple answer is it listens. And Content..lots of it. They have a brand new 12 boss raid…what do we have?? Banging some fences in the snow and npcs we could care less for…

Actually not true. Blizzard analyzed the most popular and most played mmo of all time which is farm ville for their current game model. This goes a lot deeper then purely adding an actual farmville to their game by the as this game plan began implementation in mid Wotlk in making content appeal and tap into the huge player base farmville has and gain it on a subscription and microtransaction level.

Gw2 by that logic should analyze Farmville, but I love gw2 and have never had interest in farmville

Art work in this game is amazing I agree 100%

The fact is that currently WOW has 8million plus subscribers and is the leading MMO by far. I can’t go back because I really like the initial premise of GW2..however, I respect the fact they constantly churn out content and listen to the fans. SOmetimes I really feel that Anet comes across as disingenuous and arrogant in its dealings with the playerbase.

Purgatory.5296:

Will they agree that the “No Holy Trinity” combat system is a failure or at least needs some improvement?

Without group roles the classes become generic everyman, great at nothing, so so at everything. Fights are a zerg fest and stale. Without class roles the fights cannot have phases or any sort of depth.

.

I couldn’t disagree more. This is merely “your” opinion. One could argue being forced into a hearler or tank roleis EXTREMELY limiting. I am so glad that dated way of thinking is NOT in this game. There are plenty of other MMO’s that cater to that mindset. No more waiting for tanks and healers that hold the rest of the group to randsom. You have the ability to tailor your character to how you see fit. If you want to be tanky, there is nothing stopping you changing up your weapons, armour, runes and utilities to do so. Seriously, think out of the box!

Never forgte that the majority of real baddies ALL play warrior. That’s cos it’s the single biggest faceroll class in the game that requires minimum thought to play.

yea, must be hard sitting back auto attacking as a ranger the whole time, wheres that dodge button again?

Honestly..l2p…

Yeah… no. Take a Warrior into PvP and see how easy you “faceroll” a Mesmer, Thief or Elementalist. Or any other dungeon that isn’t “easy mode”.

The problem lies in CoF1 being far too easy to rampage through in glass cannon gear. This works with any class but Warriors do it the best.

Uh..Yeah yeah…See the title of the thread….The clue was in the word DUNGEON…

It’s a l2p issue..people reset fractals till they GET this instance. The only time it ever occassionaly causes trouble is with bloomberg…Even mossman can be facerolled under the bridge….

Its personal preference, some people dont’ want to play with rangers, especially in pve content so they don’t play with them. Why kitten about it? i personally say “no rangers” in my lfg post most of the time, not just for cof but for any path.

I do this because i have a maxed ranger, guard and war and to be honest the ranger is soooo far behind the war/guard in pretty much everything that they are just useless, thats my personal opinion but everyone is different. If you don’t like it then play a different game and stop complaining about it.

You really haven’t a clue about rangers have you?

I havent missed it AT ALL. Infact going back to games where there are dedicated tanks and healers..and you can’t dodge feels incredibly DATED and last gen

Very shocking news to hear. You don’t normally associate this kind of thing with a game like Guild Wars or mmorpgs:

Its really odd that there are only 2 ranged style of pets

One let our pets share our Agony Resistance in fractals! It’s beyond imbecilic that they don’t! 2, Can our pets remember their names???? I’m sick and tired of seeing my pet’s name go back to the default “jevenile” whatever, whenever I change them up.

Thankyou that is all.

Yours a frustrated Ranger, who otherwise is enjoying the class a lot.

It seems that once you hit fractals 10, the shaman grawl boss becomes noticeably more difficult. Several times with two different characters i have had groups that have simply disbanded due to constant wiping on this boss. All of the other fractals seem utterly doable, but this one is causing me no end of trouble.

Any tips would be appreciated.

This ones great too!!!
