Guild Wars 2

I personally loath point and click movement it’s why I did not play GW1 very long. I’m not under 30 either Parrot. I was around before computers were public and I’ve played games since they were text muds. I started ‘mmo’ when they were called online RPGS starting with NWN as the first online graphic mulitplayer RPG. That being said I don’t care if point and click movement is in the game, as long as I can shut it off. I would not hold your breath though I doubt you will ever see it put in the game.

It would be nice if WvW loot would just go straight to your bags, or at minimum let Badges go right into your bags. We are moving when we fight out we don’t have time to go back and search the battlefield for ‘bags’. The only time the current systems functions ok is if you are standing still using siege. Here it would be nice if we could loot while in control of the siege weapon(s) as there are many times you don’t have time to drop control and pick all these bags up.

The game is not even two months old yet.. Classes are going to go through many changes over the next few years. Eventually I doubt any class is going to be able to just two shot anyone. If you base your character off flavor of the month you’re always going to have issues.

Well I’m at least happy that someone acknowledged that their are camera issues.

I don’t think I would call it a ‘masterpiece’ but it’s surely not dying.

This is the only game that has made me quit crafting. I refuse to pay the insane prices on the trade post and I don’t have 8 hours a day to farm for crafting items.

Maybe a profit for anet gem purchasing… sure is not profitable for the crafter.

I don’t follow any of the hearts I simply ‘explore’. I’ve had a fine time doing just that.. the last thing I want is to have to go to some npc and pickup a quest and then run here, run there and repeat that till I"m 80. I want that I can go to any MMO made in the last decade.

Less you’re getting data from the company itself the figures are not correct.

They don’t hack into the account for your ‘riches’ that’s just a bonus.

Now if only we were not so limited on what we can see.

I love crafting but their system is making me hate it. The prices on the market for resource are absolutely ridicules. Then compound that by the resale price for crafted items selling for less than the vendor purchases them its just out of hand. Why am I going to list an item for 1 copper more than the vendor buys for which after fees puts you at a loss.

I’ve spent almost 200 hours on this game with multiple characters and I still can’t craft for more than a few minutes at a time with no profit margins. If I want to craft It’s starting to feel like you are being forced into anets own RMT system to purchase resource from China farm operations that own the trading post.

Wait? GW2 & Swtor have moths?

Overall I like it. Hate the crafting & camera/fov though.

Everquest was absolute atrocious for grind and penalties. That model would utterly fail in today’s marketplace. While a higher risk can put a little different aspect on a game but if it causes you to lose days of work people are not going to play it. I remember the days of UO as well and many games before it that had high penalty.

UO was a perfect example of a game that had to adapt or lose it’s customer base because of severe loss on death… I remember stealing peoples keys and robbing their houses of items they saved for months and months. (Ahh the early mean years). Was it fun? Yes, when it didn’t happen to you. Losing all your gear on a death and everything in your home quickly lead to them losing Revenue.

While some aspects of the ‘old’ days I would not mind seeing again at the same time I would not put up with anything that would cause me to lose large amounts of time anymore.

This would cause more issues than it would prevent.

Eve Online did it, works great.

Camera issues and FOV have been talked about since beta. They just continually ignore the threads.

Ahh AOL’s NWN I remember those days.

You create these insane jumping puzzles that you can easily fall on.. then in some areas you jump and lose total control of your camera. It’s seriously ridicules.

I was having a good time until I started to craft.

They just want you to buy gems to turn them into gold and buy off the China trading post.

I use proxy servers every day. Not going to work.

Pretty simple. New server that does not allow access from China.

The majority of issues arise from China. I’ve played mmos since the mid 90’s.. know how many actual Chinese ‘players’ I’ve met…0

I absolutely loath the camera and FOV the only thing that keeps me playing is siege warfare. In beta there were similar threads with no official response. This leads me to believe that it will never change and they just don’t want to come out and say it.

I have no desire to support China farm operations. I would like an option to not purchase any game item(s) from players in China.

Linsey — You say you do a lot of crafting. Just curious have you spent the ungodly amount of time to farm items for it or do you have unlimited coin to buy off the trading post.

I’ve crafted in every game I’ve played. I like the discovery system and I like that there are plans for 500 recipes for each craft. However, I feel that if I want to do anything I’m being forced to farm for countless hours (which doesn’t work with your anti farm code) or pay $$$ for in game currency to purchase what I need off the trading post.

Was just about to suggest the same thing.

Don’t care about the mists and I hardly need a gear grind, titles or any of the other ‘fluff’ that companies use to make you ‘addicted’. I’m just not in the % of people that respond to those mechanics.

Don’t allow China IP’s and bots and 95% of the bots would be gone.

Soon as someone can’t type the extra two characters to spell you is when they go on my blocked list.

We arent the ones , who start the flamewar :P
And in other games , there arent bad ppl . But instead , there are flying unicorns and fluffy animals everywhere :P

Same old crappy camera and view to me.

Let crafters repair armor.

I find it quite frustrating that slot skill cooldowns will kick off even if the target is out of range or you hit it by accident. If my attack can’t hit anyone I should not have to sit here for 30+ seconds waiting to fire it again.

Along with no camera smoothing and better FOV. Trying to target siege in WvW is atrocious with this forced perspective.

I would love an alliance feature. However, for me would be a little pointless at the moment since our Q times have made any guild/alliance in WvW impossible.

I would like follow command as well. Could not care less about ‘bots’. A programmer can adapt to anything not having a ‘follow’ keys is not going to reduce the amount of automation software.

I fail to see how adding a field in the DB to who created the item would make the trading post fail.

I have tried every tab target option and each one is targeting peoples pets. It’s driving me mad… Mad I say!

I would like this as well.. as I’ve found out that my original class choice for my main does not fit my play style and I sure as hell am not starting over.

I would not mind a function to drop the GTAE to target as well. Right now I switch back and forth between aiming & drop target at mouse position. The problem is that you lose site of your mouse cursor when you have the left or right mouse button pushed down… ie.. turn your camera. This makes it insanely hard to spot where your mouse cursor is, especially in large scale combat.

I like many others came to this game for one reason, WvW with siege combat. I have been playing Online RPG’s and running guilds with the same people for 18 years. Yes, nearly two decades. We have always been PvP/RP centered and our server of choice was Tarnished coast (unofficial rp server). We are finding that it is impossible to get through the Q’s so we can function as a guild in WvW. Furthermore it also hinders working with other guild(s) in an alliance settings because of these ridicules Q times.

I’m sorry Mike, but I find ‘move’ to another server unacceptable. What happens when that server gets full…Move to another one? Which by that time we will have to purchase a server transfer. Not going to happen.

So no, we are not enjoying the ‘game’ because we can’t access the only real reason we are here in the first place…. Siege warfare. Considering your post it would seem that we will have no viable option to function as a guild in WvW combat for quite a long time, if ever. That is quite unfortunate and will eventually lead to like minded people simply not playing.

DAOC and EQ2 did pretty well with their housing systems. I liked having a ‘vendor’ to sell my wares at my house in DAOC.

Pretty simple…

Add Crafted By XXXX to crafted items.

I’ve always crafted in games since I started playing these games in the 90’s. I don’t find this crafting system very entertaining or rewarding. The discovery system is interesting but I feel as though I’m forced to ‘farm’ for hours to get anything done.

My highest character is 38 and I have alts that range from 10+. I keep everything and salvage most drops. Even with all this activity if I go to ‘craft’ I can only do a few items. Prices are ridicules and I’m not going to buy gems to turn into gold just to do some crafting.

What I’d like to see is all equipment break at some point. Let people ‘repair’ but put a durability on it. Then crafters have continual business.
