Guild Wars 2

Kurogami.9210:

The core game cost 50$ at release and since then countless things like wardrobe, fractals HotM, Living Story, Guild missions, etc. have been added.

They added enough content to fill a whole expansion without anyone needing to pay extra…unless they missed episodes of the LS.

So…why exactly are people complaining about the price for an expansion they barely know anything about while completely ignoring the probable addition of new content after HoT’s release?

If you look at it. In the course of 3 years we haven’t really had much. So many repetitive things have been released since the game came out and most of the stuff that came out was very very short. I mean they repeated the xmas and Halloween stuff from the first year.

They spread everything out so much that there really wasn’t much to do. Now people that are saying HoT wont be worth the $50 is because everyone that has played since day one knows how anet does things. If the expansion adds enough stuff to keep veteran players busy for at least 3 months then it will be worth the $50. Otherwise it will just be another disappointment that you might pay for this time.

The core game was worth every penny and provided so much amount of play time. This expansion will most likely not come close to comparison so the $50 price is pretty ridiculous. $30 seems way more reasonable.

Toxsa.2701:

Interesting fact:
Most games’ expansion in NA cost 49.99 on default. (even those games with sub fee)
The price is fair tbh.

The core game is cheap now that you can get it with 10 dollars during discount period or maybe ebay. So the truth is the price of expansion is $50 dollars. It’s not really a “bundle price”, it’s the expansion price with a maybe 10 dollar worth of game attached to it.

If you find the x-pac to be too expensive, just don’t buy it. Maybe use that money to buy your meal that would be consumed in 2~3 days. Maybe just find a part-time job to earn 60 dollars in one day and buy the game too.

Seeing how the outburst of the community, I actually clearly see the picture of what’s the most common age-group of this game . No wonder so many nonconstructive posts in the forum.

what I’m mostly worried about is the content for the price tag. I can’t trust anet after how they have released content for the game so far. But if there is enough content to amount to the $50 then yes then its totally fair.

Sold Out.7625:

Core game is a free bonus to a set Heart of Thorns price to incentivize new players to get the game and not have them pay double.

Your post is pointless.

Nobody misses you. Go away.

As the white Knight emerged from the mists of foolishness, he failed to realize his kingdom was ruled by a dishonorable king.

riparonies.

$50 for an expansion 3 years late to a game with no real content for players that have been playing since day one. Nothing like being treated like a peasant by a game company.

In all honesty. Anet owes its players a whole lot. This expac should be only $30 for people that have the core game already. After being constantly reminded that nothing major was going to come out month after month. This seems pretty horrid.

If the expac is not worth that price tag then I truly do feel sad for us veteran players that have stuck with the game since day one. With the hope of something to do in the game other than running around repeating the same thing since the first year.

Azhure.1857:

Outfits are selling, regardless of any opposition to their continued creation. That is why they will continue to invest time in designing even more.

Of course they are selling. You put anything on the tp and ppl will buy it because it’s appealing to some people. How ever i can assure you that its not making as much as the armor on the tp made because just look around and see how many people you see in outfits. Outfits limit what this game is centered around which is the look of your character and how creative you are with its look.

The current balance between outfits and armor sets is pretty good for now.

I dont log in much but i had to respond to this BS. We have gotten outfit on top of outfit for a while and im tired of this. They need to stop doing this. Outfits are okay but let ppl chose if they want to have the look as an outfit or as an armor.

Please ANET. STOP MAKING OUTFITS ONLY ITS LAME. This great piece of armor you guys finally made after so long is a stupid outfit. There hasnt been a good lookin armor set in a while to my liking but then the balth one shows up… and its a kitten outfit.

Please give us the option to buy either the armor or an outfit version of whatever is on the TP. Please ANET I BEG YOU.

BS?
Lets stop with the hyperbole and really compare numbers, shall we?
Lets really weigh things here and put this in perspective.

1254 individual armor pieces of varying weights. (Give or take, my math could be off. Not counting aquatic headgears.)
46 full sets. x3 for each weight class. (Either from the Gem Store in in the game via Karma or Gold or even Crafting.)

By comparison, we have…

19 Outfits.

Not counting aquatic headgear. Or Back pieces, of which there are 112.

… My numbers might be a bit off, but it hardly seems like they are overloading the game with outfits.

So, with that in mind…
PLEASE ANET… I BEG YOU… Keep making these wonderful outfits. :p

Outfits are stupid. They limit creativity. Also do not add armors that were released before this outfit stuff came around. That’s 70% of the armor thats been out since before outfits became a thing. We had 3-4 outfits in a row now on the TP. Do not bs.

Don’t play this numbers joke. This game’s end game is basically Fashion wars. When you limit that with these dumb outfits you limit everything. People play this game to make their own creative looks and things from pieces which is basically what the game wants you to do. Outfits are cool if ppl like them but don’t make every kitten thing an outfit. Give people the option because this is stupid how they come out with something that looks good and its an outfit -.-

It’s really not hard to turn any outfit into armor all this proportion bs is a joke. They are all different sized on every race and can easily be turned into armor pieces. There are some pieces that don’t go well together so that cant be an excuse.

They all seemed to be messed up after patch. They aren’t centered. Anyone else getting this?

Too much loot? You mean too much random junk.

This was a pretty great POI. Best one so far and they should learn from this. The past POI have too much random talking and go off topic a lot and then they just smush in the stuff they actually need to show at the end. When they have no time left.

Pretty great overall today. More of this please and not the old ones.

Thank you!

Just a test video of some roaming in NSP. My editing skills are pretty bad >.<

Enjoy!

Vert.5041:

I don’t think most people complain when they lose to a ranger in a 1v1. I think what happens is you are fighting somebody and a ranger starts to pew pew and you have to either die, run or blow all your cds to take out the first target only to die by ranger.

kitten I did this today on my ranger and had it done to me today on my ele. Let me tell you, when I didn’t have swirling winds and I blew my arcane shield and mist form to survive initial blast from ranger while I killed the engi in front of me it sure felt like kitten to eat 1.5 to 2.5k autos while I tried to find something to LOS with only to die by an unavoidable last flurry of rapid fire.

I’m not the best ele player but I’m sure 100% sure that the best ele player in the world would’ve died in this situation and that is what’s frustrating about dying by the mighty pew pew.

Yeh the burst is crazy if you let a ranger walk around within range. I like playing ranger in roaming. In team fights if no one goes for me I can melt people really fast. When im on warrior roaming around, there is always that kitten ranger that comes out the woods with its machine gun goin off on me.

But in the end its fun to play and get rekt by rangers lol. If you don’t dodge it i think you deserve to be destroyed. They can be easily killed if you can close the gap and not get gs stunned. So its a fun mechanic imo.

Thaddeus.4891:

Its one of the top 5 best profession in pvp right now, so its not that bad of a place. The problem with Warrior is that ppl use to play a lot of GS, but it got nerf bad. Ppl just have a hard time trying other weapons I guess.

For PvE, Warrior are pretty much buff/banner kitten only now. But they are really good at that lol.

Statistics plz and warriors are pigeonholed to GS because all the other weps are lame and dont work with each other. We need the GS. Sword is another option but that lacks dmg.

The class can be easily countered and doesn’t have much going for it atm. Yet they keep nerfing it for no reason. The pve HB nerf hit pvp pretty hard and the whirl nerf as well.

We went from being a source of dmg to being the partys waterboy.

Are people still against things like this?

Sure it seems OP but hey they die as fast as they kill and the rapid fire is pretty easy to avoid most of the time. I’ve seen a lot of people in map chat QQBBQin about this stuff but I just don’t see it lol.

Well have fun guys dudes

KSIBBQ.8123:

This Zerker meta has to end. It has killed the diversity too long. This game has such a unique build system, and you should truly be able to play how you want. However, unless you have a pre made, then people will kick you. Start building your toon the way you want to!

You want dps to be nerfed because you ran into a team of sissys in PVE!

Do you know how much the pvp meta is plagued with condis?

You don’t see the whole picture and just jump on the first thing that comes to your mind. There are plenty of groups in pve. Hitting up the forums on the first party you are kicked out from to nerf something that has already been nerfed so much due to pve players.

These changes impact pvp players a lot. So please think twice about things before you go on the forums so quickly. Everyone has been kicked from a party. If you cant get in a try hard group then you don’t need to be in it. Play the game for fun. Not all this complaining as soon as something happens.

But if anet can balance pve zerker and pvp zerker differently then be my guest. Pve needs more variations. Sadly anet doesn’t balance separately which is why im replying to you.

dun worry, they will bring in vip system from gw2 china and it will revitalize the player base.

Um no. That will butcher the remaining player base in an instant.

There is nothing worth paying for in this game as it has nothing in the long run.

Ever heard of sarcasm?

cant tell these days. Forums are really dumb now days. You see these threads come up on the forums and you dont know what you can and cant take seriously anymore in the gw2 forums.

Forum wars 2 doesn’t disappoint as much as guild wars 2. Glad there are some entertaining topics.

As for your topic my good sir. Man up and play. People talk crap their whole life. You cant sit in the corner and wait it out till you can get back to what you were doing.

Do what you want to do. If you suck its ok. No one cares. It’s guild wars 2 man. The game is 100% made for casuals so just play to have fun and if someone talks crap just ignore and enjoy.

Pretty much what Miku said. Rifle always sucked balls. I mean sure we have all rolled killshot zerker and went kitten ing but it was only for trolling as you could easily die and only thing you had was 1 killshot and if it missed you were pretty much useless till it was back up at 3 bars.

I suggest makin rifle 1500. I mean its a rifle lol a bow has more range? lel. Rifle butt needs a wider cone so its not kitten y. volly dps is 75% of rapid fire and both are at 10s but one does less dmg and shoots slower lol.

Vayne.8563:

It’s not a problem OP. It’s certainly not the problem you’re making it out to be. You’re concerned because the forum community is larger dissatisfied. If you took a snapshot of this community every six months or so, almost since launch, you’d find the same thing.

When we were getting content every two weeks, the forums were furious that it wasn’t permanent content. When ascended game out the forums were furious that the game now has vertical progression. When the NPE came out, the forums are furious that the game is now being dumbed down and that they’re leveled gated. In six months the forums will be furious about something else.

The forums are always furious about something.

To be fair, some of the stuff is more reasonable than other stuff, but I’m not too worried about the content. Halloween is around the corner, and just after that we get more new area to explore.

I’m sure other stuff is in the works as well.

copy paste Halloween inc

the stats are pretty bad on it tbh lol

So I finally finished making this great elctro hamma!

Watch the hard work and the quest for the ultimate goal

It’s just a ful zerker build.

Heres all the stats and stuff if you still want to see the set up.

You are the reason people are afraid to have fun and show their stuff to others.

If you took the time to type that essay about stuff that I could care less about then take the time to read the following.

I do not main ranger but I have 2 rangers. I main warrior and this video was from a nights game time. I died 5-6 times but the point of the video was to show all the mistakes each and every person i shot. One of those people might come to the forums and make a QQ thread asking for nerf but you can clearly see that in every part not a single fool dodged.

This is a full zerker ranger and I gave 0 thought on the build.

The last part was to show how fast you could kill someone with 2 rangers in the shortest time just for fun. That guy is a pretty good mesmer and even he didn’t have time to react.

Nothing in this video was to show anyone’s skill. It was for fun and the fights were with casuals vs us no lifes.

The only way i can see this thing getting balanced without it being slaughtered because of whine is that anet should give it a tell. Like they did with longbow 5 on warrior. Longbow 2 on ranger should get same treatment to give people a warning.

Please sir try to enjoy the game and not pull and pick on every little thing people do. Im just showing what people are doing wrong and why this shouldn’t be nerfed.

It’s just for fun my man. Try to enjoy your time playing games instead of ruining it for yourself and others :P

I apologise, thought this was another “OP” video.

No problemo sir.

Svarty.8019:

If hammer #2 was the same as elementalist’s lightning hammer #2, I’d use hammer.

This. Hammer is too slow. If they make it like that then it will have mobility and see more play. Also make banish cleave. Hammer needs a buff really badly on guard and i dont know why anet wont do anything for it.

Ehecatl.9172:

I think they should make your video’s audio the actual audio for the skill. BAM! Issue with needing a tell solved and we get to giggle every time we press 2!

you’re on the right track >.>

make sure to check the last part for maximum lols.

So i gib you post patch zerk ranger

if they copy paste the same Halloween for the 3rd time i have lots of friends that are going to quit. So i hope they arent going to drop the ball again and be lazy like the past year they have been.

i agree with this change. The thing that i am kittened off about is how much of a lie we were fed on noodle slice.

Lucentfir.7430:

The one thing I will agree on is the damage at 50% is nearly the same as a old arcing slice, it just became more usable and likely to hit with the cleave. The damage needs to be tweaked abit…..right now my 1-2 adrenline bar eviscerate does more damage than my three bar Arcing Slice on foes below 50%. In a sense the skill doesn’t feel like a executioner ability, in sense the skill should be use on foes below 30% if you really want to finish them.

noodle slice does same dmg at lvl 1 or lvl 3. It only gives more fury at higher level of adren.

Just when every veteran warrior was looking for this old useless skill to be useful instead we get the old useless skill in an aoe that does a marginal amount of extra damage to people below 50%.

Look at the pictures below and see what we were shown(top) and what we got(bottom)

This is comedy at its best. The HB nerf and whirl nerf came and everyone was thinking, ‘’ oh its so that the new arcing slice will actually deal damage.’’ But instead we get this thing that hits like a wet noodle and looks kitten y. The signet of rage nerf is just wierd. That signet is used more for the active and way way less for the passive. But those don’t matter.

But nerfs to HB/whirl/sig of rage are done and the thing that was supposed to be the place holder for is arcing slice. Give us the arcing slice you showed us and not this "thing’

They trolled us with the nerf to arcing slice. The one they ’’said’’ they were going to give us was going to be the buff. But with this arcing slice we got that hits like a wet noodle, GS over all got nerfed.

If they revert this comedic arcing slice to the one they were going to implement then gs only got toned down a little.

Tested it out for a couple hours. Imo its the same old arcing slice in an aoe. Its not worth using it how it is now unless you need the fury or ire proc.

If they make it 100% more dmg at enemy hp less than 50% then this skill be very worth it. But atm it’s just meh. The 8% extra nerf only made it worse and it doesn’t do much of a bonus to ppl with less than 50% hp. Its just a 1k-1.15k dmg increase to targets less than 50% so it only does 2k more dmg than an auto atk.

excited for new arcing slice. There are no new features so huehue

100% of everything Templar said.

Man. Who cares. Just do this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQMIqJoMjpE

Or L2P warrior. The people that have played warrior through the bad times during release to the buffs and up to this will still play warrior and be better than most of the scrubs that rolled warrior because it was so noob friendly. Adren nerf will bring out all the warriors that just made a warrior to abuse it.

#Dealwithit

Sooo it seems everyone is a kitten now. You guys seem like fanbois telling the OP he is wrong and playing the wrong game. They did not promise kitten about it being this or that. Everything they said was a lie. Where are esports huh? Where is endgame? Where is solo content? All we have are sad excuses of kitten things. The good content we get is temporary.

If you people stop being white knights and actually see what is going on you wouldn’t be saying all of this bs.

This game was supposed to have no grind. They never said it was for casuals so don’t make kitten up. Any person that says this game has end game or even mentions the word endgame and accords it to this game has not played this game or hasn’t played enough.

We don’t have any content that appeals to veterans. They are catering to the new ppl coming in now and totally ignoring every single person that has played since release.

Now i don’t know how long they will run on with all the work they are putting in for new players but it hinders the play time of old players They are making the starting of the game so well thought out and stuff but totally ignore what the new people will have to deal with once they are 80. There is literally nothing to do once you are 80 that you haven’t done before.

Those of you who are saying this game isn’t for hardcore content and stuff are not looking at the fact that we have tequatl and triple trouble. These two are pretty much raid content so don’t even say ’’they’’ said they wont give us these things because they already have.

If you guys spend more time playing the game then playing the forums you might actually see the things that are going on with this game that need attention.

Although it is just a virtual item after all that doesn’t have any value i guess you can say its the thought that counts. People limit them selves to things that don’t matter but grats sir and enjoy it.

I just get on to kill stuff. If you have been playing since release and are looking for content then i feel sorry for you. There is no content for people who have played since release. Those of us that still play dont know why. Some enjoy it some just want to kitten around.

The feature pack has nothing major and does not address the bugs we still have since release. There has been 0 effort to fix the random character stuck bug or the mobility skills spazzing out when used. The game caters to casuals and new players now so if you are looking for something as an old player then you are looking in the wrong place.

If you have been playing since release and have done everything up to the recent 20 min long living story then you have 0 content to do in pve, wvw, and pvp. The only reason you should still be playing is for kitten ing around or helping your friends that are new to the game. As sad as it seems. There is no content for people who have been playing since release.

Take a break… lel Yea everyone take a break then you can play with the same 5 ppl everyday

I call an instant kick on any thief that enters my dungeon party.

I cry a little inside when i push my self to throw 70g worth of stuff to rng in the forge everytime.

Got the under water pre after i bought one and its my only pre after playing for 5.5k hours.

Transmuted my lower rarity gear to exotic thinking i was putting the skin on the exotic instead of the exotic skin on the lowe rarity.

Made a norn ranger, got it to 80, spent 200g on it, neglected it and made a salad ranger.

Made a charr warrior, got it to 80, spent 800g on it, neglected it and made a human warrior.

Spent 1.5k gold on transfering servers…

Most deaths to cliffs than players.

bought full set of medium dungeon armor on warrior GG

Linking everything in my inventory that is below 3s , when ever someone links a legendary.

Ran a signet build and thought it was good…

Yes they need a party leader system. This way it will work with the new change and ppl wont QQBBQ on the forums for being trolled or joining a party of trolls then getting kicked after they are done using you.

rude players should not have all the power. This change is justified. Deal with it.

rude? like you right now? overly concise players who make snap one line posts are a great comparison for snap judgement players who kick without justified reason. thank you for being an example of why we cant have this update

The dungeon owner system is a huge flaw. Yes it gives power to kick the owner and yes people can abuse it. People will always abuse everything they can. Right now the host feels like the president of the universe and doesn’t have to worry about a thing. Everyone should be on even terms. If you pug, you expose your self to people like that.

The main issue I have with dungeon owner is that if the host bugs or wants to switch characters they can’t.

Also there is always a reason for a kick. If someone kicks for no reason then you brought your self into a party of kittens in the first place. It is very easy to avoid such parties. I don’t ever kick anyone or support a kick unless the person is very rude and or an elitist.

Also thank you for attacking my post with something that doesn’t contribute. I put simple words that have a straight forward meaning in the post you replied to. The dungeon owner system only added to the griefing trolls can do. It makes joining parties with friends a pain if you into a party with a troll for the owner.

Next time instead of attacking someone who replys to your thread you could discuss more. People like you are the reason a lot of players regret posting or even looking at the forums.

So when is the trading post going to get smoother? Because as of now it is worse than internet explorer. Will we ever see an update that improves the Black Lion Trading company UI? Because 2 years after release now and we still have something that bugs harder than anything and doesn’t load half the time.

Mods please dont move this to the trading forums because the only relation to it is the name.

rude players should not have all the power. This change is justified. Deal with it.
