Guild Wars 2

ahhhh thank you
- was on auto attack how weird.
Well that was easily solved

Hystery.8415:

Now it is strange. Did you try to check the key it’s been configured on, just to see if the key itself isn’t bugged?

yes that was the first thing I checked- since my keyboard loves to get stuck- but no my 6 key is fine.
Will go see if my others do it but my ranger was fine this morning

OK this is very bizarre- my Ele is casting her heal every time it is off cd?
I am not doing this.
how do I fix it?

Ahh thank you

As the topic says- seems like the last one ended ages ago.
Are we having another one soon and what about?

Jski.6180:

I think you should want to play with other ppl in an mmorpg what the point of playing an online game if your only going to solo most of the time? I love how the cities are full they are no longer ghost towns during the wrong times.

I want to play with my friends- not a bunch of random people I don’t know from a bar of soap- just because MMO

MMO only means a lot of people are online playing it- it does not mean that you have to be joined at the hip with others 24/7

I play as a party of one in a guild of 1 and Megaserver is not great for me.

I haven’t actually seen any of my friends or people from my server, the maps are completely over run by random people.
there are trolls everywhere and the Tower of Babel is not funny.

I have never felt this alone in the game, which is ironic because people are like ants- everywhere.

I want my lovely server and our community back

Hax.8701:

Gendarren Fields is now a megaserver. Seriously thinking about quitting. I want a place I can hang out with people only from my server. Bring LA back and don’t make it a megaserver.

Why are you crying? Isn’t a MMO the kind of game where we’re looking forward to see a massive amount of player?

No

Bank tabs, unlimited harvesting tools, character slots, skins
Stuff that makes your account better.

After that you can buy toys, make over kits, whatever floats your boat really.

aww as you can see I never have enough gems

PvE is really easy now- it feels like the mobs have been nerfed into oblivion- either that or my Ele magically changed from a wet tissue to a one man killer army.

That as it may be, leveling is completely boring now- there really is no point because you don’t even get traits to spend- it feels like spinning wheels honestly.

You really feel the fact that 80 levels was too long to begin with

Thank god I have 2 lvl80 Mesmers because they are so trait dependent.
Unfortunately I have 5other characters under lvl 80

Megaserver is also a hit and miss- especially if you play EU- I have never seen maps this quiet and that is with these hordes of people.
It is quite eerie, I think the map blank out has to do with the Tower of Babel we experienced the first couple of days.

I have the broom and the flowers- the armor guy turned them into bundles in my inventory that can be equipped.
upside is that i can now use my broom with my armor

Iam not going to read the tread
I am just going to say can we please have the actual skin names applied to our stuff?

oh my!
Thank you so much

Divinity’s Reach is definitely on megaserver- we had a huge discussion about it last night in DR- people were saying what servers they are from and I assure you it was not GH.
Saw about 2 people from my actual server.

I have Eye of Rodgort but I do not have Lidless Eye unlocked.
And yes I crafted it

Umut.5471:

Megaserver in orr(and all maps) is the best thing they have ever done.
Opposition, even against nice features like this, makes the playerbase look bad.
The game was an online rpg before, it’s now turning to a real "mmo"rpg with this patch.
We don’t want orr to stay as a ghost town without any people, I don’t care about events, my server was failing them anyway because of the lack of numbers. If they fail it with a crowded instance, nothing will change. But the game will be a real mmo with players around. I support megaserver in all maps, I wanna see people around…

Guess you not only play on a NA server but you want to see gazillions of people around regardless of who they are too?

My game was a real MMO- tyvm- now it is a bunch of people running around like headless chickens speaking 10 different languages.

As for Orr- it used to be nice because or regular Temple runs and also the world tour.

now?
pffft

I use take root in PvE.
it has various use on different classes- I use it to pull, for the invulnerability, as extra dps, distraction you name it.
Identically I do have hounds on my human Mesmer but I still prefer take root

ahh
thank you so much for the help

As title says: under H panel where you used to see your attributes, I now have a giant blank and I can’t find how to display it at all.

Any help would be great

Lockon.5312:

Also which bank is this? I mean I don’t see a guy standing to the bank. I’m at Divinity’s Reach bank.

he is standing to you right side at the DR bank- and yes you will need to use charges at least as far as I understand it.
I didn’t try it since I do not have many charges and have too many low level characters

Edit: oh sorry he is next to the tP not the bank

Rivi.4129:

I really feel I lost a game I loved to play in this latest patch.

you and me both

I have Eye of Rodgort.
I had to craft Lidless eye to craft Eye of Rodgort, yet I do not have Lidless eEye

Lockon.5312:

After the patch my Mad King and Fancy Winter outfits are all efin gone?!

speak to the armor guy standing next to the bank- he will convert them for you to outfits- then they will be in your inventory

take root is probably the best best racial elite in the game- I remade 2 classes as Sylvari’s just so I could have it
I use it on 5 of my characters.
it gives you 3 sec invulnerability and sprouts a bunch of turrets- I cannot count the amount of times it has saved my bacon

Shanaeri Rynale.6897:

Broken Mesmer is broken
undyable town clothes tonics with time limits.

Not broken at all Shan – more fixed than broken.

The problem is Critical damage DID NOT scale and some were OP in that. The ‘Zerker’ meta was not supposed to be so OP that you only play that. Other builds are now viable and some more so than ‘Zerker’.

I also noticed that they seemed to fix the condition damage problem in PvE. That means conditions on you in PvE will be the same.

The game needed a little shaking up – people were complacent.

not sure what he was talking about- but in my case my Mesmer is broken.

It has nothing to do with zerker- it has to do with the changed trait lines that makes the build I had and enjoyed impossible to make now

I have 2 Mesmers- they were different builds- one is a condi, I haven’t had the heart to check her out yet

oh let me see
1. town clothes- enough said

2. wardrobe system- is not a wardrobe system but a glorified sale of charges and will cost me a fortune

3. I have 2 Mesmers- too scared to look at my other 80’s yet.
I have no desire to play my 5 under 80’s without traits

4. I play in EU- sooooo. Megaserver

5. Boss timers wtf?- I play in EU- will never see some bosses again- nevermind that I am not reducing my life to a GW2 schedule

6. my runes that I actually use- have now changed functionality to the point where they are useless to me
7. Event reward nerf- there goes playing in the openworld for fun

I like nothing about this patch.

@Wanze- yes it will be closed but it is not like the Dev’s are actually responding to the created topics either

I play GW2 so I do not have to keep to a schedule.

I could log on when I have a few minutes, catch whatever boss was up- have some fun and still have time to take care of my family etc.

That is why I quit the game I used to play because I didn’t appreciate telling my husband, I have to do this now, can’t make dinner or chat to you- or tell my daughter- sorry, have to finish this tuck your self in.

A game should fit in with my schedule- my life should not have to fit into a game schedule

This is terrible and removes not only any semblance of an actual dynamic and alive world- it is really insulting to players.

My trait lines are now completely messed up and I seem to be no longer able to recreate the build I actually had- this is on my Mesmer, I haven’t checked any of my 4 other 80’s yet because I am too scared.
never mind my 5 characters under 80

btw the UI is utterly confusing and you can no longer at a glance see where the traits are that you need.

I had to retrait 4 times before I realized I can’t actually make my build anymore.
Then I logged out- build still unfinished

I am also unhappy about the wardrobe and the town clothes.

I liked my town clothes- that is why I bought them.
I liked the fact that I could dye them

Now- not only are they not dye-able they are converted to generic tonics- that are either mud colored or black and red.
So I will be asking for a refund.
Thank you for tasking something away from me that I really enjoyed.

A for the wardrobe- it will now be prohibitive in cost to keep my characters looking the way I want.
So thank you again for taking something away from me that I already had.

As you can guess I do not like this patch- and this is just the cosmetic bit.

I will comment on the rest of it in the relevant sections.

oh the dyes I got back was nice so thank you for that.( it is the only good thing about this patch)

All I want to know is can I refund my town clothes and not my toys as how do I go about that.
I bought quite a few toys and I want to keep them. I do not however want my town clothes not even my witches outfit

I’d ask that in the mail to support. I’m sure you can pick what you want to keep and what you want to return.

Thank you

D I V A.6018:

These topics are often extremely amusing to me. Why does one need 10 characters if there are only 8 classes? Well, I guess everyone plays differently.

Not only this, but why do people even bother transmuting before 80 anyway? Rush leveling or not, you’re still changing gear often enough that it just seems a waste to me.

Not only do I indeed have 10 characters
I also have 5 under 80
and yes I transmute from the moment I come out of the tutorial.

I don’t rush level I enjoy playing all of my characters.

No matter how amusing you find it- it used to cost me 1 trans stone per item.
Now it will cost me 3/ charge

Add to that, that I now magically no longer have traits I have all ready unlocked and I am not a happy chappy at all.
I used to love leveling

All I want to know is can I refund my town clothes and not my toys as how do I go about that.
I bought quite a few toys and I want to keep them. I do not however want my town clothes not even my witches outfit

I loved my town clothes.
Why do I now have to put up with bland tonics that are not dye- able?
Who dies their town clothes abyss and red or mud colored?

I still don’t understand why- if they had to make them into tonics- why didn’t they not just convert the mix we had equipped to a tonic? Not some generic outfit that no one would wear?
It can’t be because of clipping or whatever because we already had it equipped.

the only upside of this is that I can now use my broom with my armor- small bonus for me never wearing town clothes again.

I want a refund too- will be making a ticket

you suck socks- it is 20:30 here
I am old and have kids :P

you just made my evening!

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

You purchased them through the Gem Store during the first Halloween, but the cost was 0 Gems.

Fun fact: According to the wiki, they can be dyed. I had no idea! =)

they can be dyed!?
O.O

yes there is a toggle- can’t remember where though

isn’t it usually around 1,3 G?

was it always like that?
it looks like her breast is clipping with the clothes- does she have a body-type with big breasts?

When you are lying in bed- listening to mosquitoes and instead of switching on the thingy that kills them- you switch to your staff ele.

When you dream of an amazing perfect battle and in the morning you try and remember the build and recreate it ( that is how I made my second engi)

When you are walking on a wine farm and you tell your husband- wow this is a big map

When you say kitten irl/ this won’t end well

When your rl friends who don’t play games ask how your characters are and they know the entire LS from Flame and Frost

I really don´t see a big issue here. You outlevel your equipment that fast that any kind of resources is wasted on it. I guess most people even just equip what they can grab and move on to next level.

Some people care how their characters look even if the are still leveling.
I realize some people couldn’t care less but I do- I could never play that way.
I haven’t since I got my first character to 80

This is my newest character- she is lvl 12, now this is nothing extravagant but you get the idea.
if you have several characters under 80- it adds up I assure you

well, if you value the looks of your characters below 80 like someone with his max level characters, I don´t see why he should pay more than you. You are purchasing exactly the same service, why should you get a discount for it?

And it does not matter at all if you play only one character or 200, it does not change the time played on every level individually one bit.

I am not saying he should pay more at all- I am just saying that it will now be more expensive for me to play this way.

I don’t want a discount.

I am saying that for people who care how their low level characters look- it will be really expensive- not everyone will keep it up.

I will probably only replace my set once or twice on the way to 80- will make leveling harder but meh

Edit: keep in mind that stones cost more than crystals.
So to keep an under 80 geared is indeed more expensive- so I will pay more not less

If you are in EU the patch normally hits between 19:00 and 21:00 depending on where you are- so it will be awhile yet

mmm I like to keep my alts looking nice leveling up and as such I have no backlog of stones since I use them as fast as I get them.
5 sub 80’s.- 5 /80’s
I might just have to keep them in subpar gear till 80 because I am not running around in a mishmash of armour that is for sure

Finaldeath.1059:

Morrigan.2809:

The mega server is not something I have ever seen people asking for.

The mega server feature is something people have been asking for since beta. Those of us begging for this since then just haven’t referred to it as “mega server”, it is usually referred to as “districts” like the first guild wars game. Mega servers are not exactly what we have been asking for, but they are something that is a solution for a major problem that has been around since launch which is population. This system is made so that instead of having a bunch of near dead versions of the same map that can’t complete anything due to low population it instead puts all those players into a single full map then starts another version when needed.

Yes, some servers don’t need this for some zones, but most of them do. Even the max population servers have this problem in most maps. I have yet to see a single server that has a healthy population of players in more than 1 or 2 zones at a time. If you hate this system that many have been begging for that will bring back many players and most importantly make a huge chunk of the game finally playable on more than 1 or 2 servers, then do us all a favor and quit playing entirely. This need to be done whether you like it or not and has been needing to be done since launch.

I have been around since beta- I have never seen people ask for this.
Some people have said that they are lonely- sure and more have claimed maps are empty because they sky is falling yada-yada.

The solution has been guesting for most- some have suggested creating underflows on low pop maps.
Nowhere and by no-one has there ever been a suggestion that they do away with servers, to create an illusion of life.

Keep in mind that there where still people running events on unpopular maps because they enjoy the dynamic events.
Now of course event rewards get nerfed and contrary to popular belief this will do nothing to champ trains but it will kill Dynamic events.

So mega server does nothing.

If you are not rewarded and have no incentive to run around in the world why would you?
If you were not already doing it – you won’t be doing it now because much as I love those zones- they are largely exactly the same since launch.
Nevermind the boss timers and the fact that communities are being destroyed.

I am not even on a high pop server and I have never ever had an issue with finding people to do stuff with

But glad you like it so much that you feel free to tell me what to do with my time.

^ I find this interesting^
I first heard the term toon when I played DDO from NA players- I had no idea what a toon was.
It seems the character or char is the term used more in EU.
I accidentally called my character a toon once in GW2 just after launch and no-one knew what I was talking about

Direksone.3867:

Said it before many times on related threads and will again. Try it first, THEN give feedback. The whole point of feedback is to do it AFTER something, not pre emptive. If indeed the system has its flaws then they will be shown and they can be improved. They will be only implemented in PvP and a few select zones first to test it anyway.

Relax.

While that is normally good advice can you honestly say they ever reversed some of the things that in retrospect might not have been such a good idea?

For a change of this magnitude they should really have put up a feedback thread before- so people could voice their concerns- not say oh btw come patch this will happen.

basically they do not seem interested in feedback- not really

@Nage – I play on Gunnar’s Hold

Yargesh.4965:

People are very fixed on being part of a group. It does not matter that it is an artificial group of complete strangers, since you are one of them they are better than other artificially created groups. One of the more manipulated aspect of human nature.

Of course it is- this is an MMO, as such self appointed identities/ groups are even more important, because the whole idea is so bizarre.
Anyway our trolls have been disciplined ages ago why should I now have to deal with other people’s unwashed/ stranger trolls :P

Seriously though in GW2 we have a bit of a disconnection from our characters and the world as it is- our servers were really the only thing you could identify with.
Now that is gone
It just feels very alienating to me

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

I was under the impression an overflow put people from any number of servers together, just as an ‘underflow’ would. I don’t see much difference with the MegaServer. It is just underflow maps when needed. Except now, when the need to create an underflow/overflow (MegaServer) map, it places you with the people you were most likely to have played with before.

In an overflow you have the option to return to your main map or stay in the overflow.
Mega server has no such option

Nage.1520:

Morrigan.2809:

Nage.1520:

What you’re asking for OP, is not reasonable. The idea of a megaserver is to control the population. Giving a people a choice to not be a part of a solution to several problems in the game is not really an option.

Some changes are made for the good of the game whether individual players like those changes or not. Allowing them to opt out of something that’s good for the game isn’t really an option.

The amount of servers that Anet now spawns and maintains to maintain the entire population takes server processor power. The more servers, the more the whole system has to handle. By using something like the megaserver system, less servers over all will be spawned.

That means that the system will run more smoothly (in theory anyway).

But people who say they don’t like the new system have never tried the new system in the first place. My prediction is is that most people will adjust to it and enjoy it.

Bottom line is, it’s not reasonable for Anet to make changes to the game on this level and still maintain the old system, because it would defeat at least part of the purpose for the change.

And yet the system we have now has been put in place by them and sustained for almost 2 years.

Don’t tell me it is good for the game.

The mega server is not something I have ever seen people asking for.
Underflows yes (and like overflows you can still be in your map server)

It is not reasonable fostering server identities for 2 years and then taking that away for the sake of what?
Even the name megaserver makes me shudder.

I’m telling you it is good for the game. If it wasn’t good for the game Anet wouldnt’ be doing it.

You’ve tried it? You have evidence it’s not good for the game?

As for people not asking for it, well, a lot of people HAVE asked for this. There’ve been suggestions about this sort of thing for over a year now.

Sorry that you don’t personally like it, but that doesn’t mean that many or most people don’t.

you haven’t tried it either

people have been asking for a solution to empty maps ( i.e underflows)
they did not ask for their servers to be destroyed.

Are you going to pretend to me that come tomorrow it will not be meaningless that I rolled on GH in beta?

That I will not now be lumped together with whatever the mega server decides is good for me- without being able to choose myself?

That whatever criteria the server system uses would be like my own?

no?
thought not.

How is this good for the game exactly?

I tell you now- if it is half as bad as I suspect I cannot see myself playing much if at all, and I love this game make no mistake.
I will not sit by and watch my world being taken over by Wallmart, or whatever generic bulk is better philosophy spawned this idea.
