I just generally avoid fighting Mesmers and Thieves in 1v1 unless in sPvP.
There’s nothing fun about getting them low jut to see them flee.
I’d much rather get new skills/traits every second week than Living Story.
At least it would make WvW/sPvP more interesting.
Coming soon, just around the corner, we’re working on it.
FA has literally no OSX/SEA.
Learn to spot/avoid trolls and little kids.
Why do people assume that if you’re a casual player, you want and love extremely easy face roll, press auto attack read Facebook and watch TV content?
I play GW2 (PvE) casually and only high level FOTMs, one daily run (more or ekittenun takes approximately one hour) and I’m done with the PvE and either move to WvW or log out.
I haven’t even touched the new Living Story, but since it’s supposedly permanent, I’ll maybe give it a try sometime later.
Make it similar to FOTM: different scales of difficulties, which increase the rewards.
Make it lengthy and/or place the way points/safe spots in the dungeon so those who can’t beat the dungeon in one go can log in later after doing a part of it and continue from where they left.
Make the boss battles engaging and hard, appropriate to selected scale, for example, the hardest difficulty mixes the elements of both Liadri and Mai Trin.
Just few ideas, but of course none of this is going to happen.
It’s a speculation of course. Neither can you prove that 3 millions of people who bought GW2 quit to play World Of Warcraft, Everquest, Wildstar and other games.
It’s pretty naive to assume that most of the people who originally bought the game ae still playing it, but, hey, if that’s what you believe.
It happens to all games.
Some people play actively every day, some only during the weekends, some log in only for the living story, some every month or so to see if there’s anything new, in any case, not everyone is an active player.
How many copies did GW2 sell in west? 3 million?
I’m more than willing to bet that 3/4 of those people who bought the game are no longer playing.
Here’s a question. When can we expect a WvW update?
If they don’t want to engage with the community they might as well remove the forums.
There have been are still are legit threads with well thought out constructive criticism and suggestions, yet Arena Net shows no interest whatsoever.
Legit threads with legit concerns, bug reports, exploits and hacking reports, most of them get ignored.
Buy these things.

I don’t know, perhaps they wanted to merge it with the new one?
Just wondering.
How hard could it possibly to make a new thread with some copy paste text asking what players want? I mean, that would at least make you look interested into your player feedback, which we all know isn’t the case, but hey, PR tricks.
Oh I bet they’re working really hard to implement the Fractal Leader boards asap.
Also, where are the new CDI threads coming out?
Especially the WvW one. They promised us to make one right after season 2 ends.
Furthermore, FOTM was indented to be hardcore.
Arena Net is appealing to those who like easier content more than those who like hard content.
There are only couple off boss fights in this game that are actually hard.
Good suggestion. Have people lose all their armor while fighting Mai.
Mai Trin was already a well designed boss. Players already needed to use special tactics and skills or else they would die. This update has not improved her design. It has only made her more punishing. That isn’t necessarily a good thing. Making mobs hit harder isn’t better design.
On these forums a lot of posters seem to appreciate dungeons that they can complete at their own skill level, but players of lower skill cannot. The same is true for cosmetics that a poster can collect but players with lower time/money investment cannot. A wider perspective would help here.
Back in my days we loved punishing 2D SNES games.
Lose? Start over from level 1.
Better than the so called “Raid” Boss monsters Tequatl and Wurm where the individual skill doesn’t matter and anyone can get carried as long as he’s in the right world.
Especially on high level Fractals.
Promotes active playing , dodging, no stacking, no face rolling.
Who ever designed this update should also rework other fractal bosses so they’re not as easy as they are now.
Maybe once they “deal” with all the Thieves, Mesmers and Necros I’ll consider roaming again.
It’s kittening annoying to get your opponent down to 10% HP and then he stealths and runs away.
Not you.
I mean lordkrall.
Give me a link to a single thread that said WvW is dying which was posted during the launch in 2012 August. That’s what you keep saying, that people have been saying WvW is dying since the launch.
If this was the case I’d be as happy as a hippy on Sunday!
But the truth is they havent even been doing that, hence why people are still complaining about exploits which have been around since launch!
Which are these exploits that have been around since launch though?
And yes they do have people working on WvW, even if it is a very little group.
Link me a thread where people said WvW is dying during the 3 day pre launch in . August. Go ahead. Evidence or don’t talk at all.
“Since the launch”.
“People will swarm back with the next Season.”
You mean the people who hardly play WvW and only hop on during the seasons to get achievements and after they get them they leave and don’t come back till next season?
I’ve seen person getting both Precursor and Ascended Armor drop in a single fractal run.
Meanwhile, I’m willing to get there are tons of people who have been playing as much as I have but have not received a single skin.
Been playing FOTM since 2012 November.
Over 500 runs and 2 skins – Longbow (which I can’t use since I have no Ranger or Warrior) and Trident.
I wonder how many years will I have to play FOTM to get my Sword Skin I want?
I’m willing to bet BDS/VS Spear drop rates were much higher in GW1.
Aegis and blocks work against Mai. They don’t against Horik.
Use auto run on wall.
Don’t get kicked.
Farm for days.
Contemplation of Purity to remove 6 conditions, second or two later I again have 6 condition again.
Don’t worry, they’ve been working hard to update WvW achievements ever since they announced it about 8 months ago.
Seems pretty balanced.°
Accepting SBI and YB transfers to FA.
Yeah, I’d probably switch out the GS for hammer for water fields.
Is lordkrall on a mission to post on every single thread that says something negative about GW2?
Wait for the yearly Fractal update in November, surely it will add one extra dungeon.
And decrease the drop rates to further encourage gem sales.
Was messing around in build creator.

Think it would be any good?
I assume it’s around 30k HP with rank buffs.
Fractals, especially high level ones, were supposed to be difficult.
I’d gladly see them buffing Mai even more along with all the other laughably easy bosses.
And make the reward appropriate.
Get better. Don’t whine.
38, with Pugs.
I was playing Guardian, random Zerker build.
0/0/6/4/4, GS/Hammer, Save Yourselves, Purging Flames, Hold The Line, Shelter and Renewed Focus.
Absolute Resolution trait.
Wasn’t hard (I guess it’s a bit more difficult than the other FOTM bosses), and I don’t recall getting one shot, maybe downing me after 3-4 hits, but certainly not by a single hit.
I guess It’s just a l2p issue.
Also, GS #5 on Horik and #4 Hammer on Mai is hilarious.
The boss is still easy. Learn the mechanics, get condition remove.
Did the fight yesterday with people who did’t even know that she was updated.
Party was Guard, Mesmer, Warrior, Thief and Ele.
When the patch was released, I logged it, checked the map for few minutes and logged out. As someone who doesn’t care about exploration or lore, there’s just nothing for me, no reason to play the new map. I couldn’t care any less abou new mini pets, those glasses or APs.
Personally, I’ve been doing high level FOTM runs all week and I would much rather see new updates to this game mode plus I like what they did to Mai.
Other than FOTM, there’s nothing for me to do in this game. Glad that there’s still WvW, but even that is getting pretty stale due to lack of updates and balance.
"R"NG? Did FOTM 38 Daily run today.
Everyone received a fractal skin as a reward. Never seen that before.
1) New Features
2) New PvP Content
3) Less Content Updates

bump
Y’all noticing there’s been a slight increase in Canthan related items recently? The Assassin outfit.. DEFINITELY the Ancestral outfit.. Belinda’s katana.. and the violins in the new soundtrack sound eerily similar to some of the music from Factions (the low strung violins, almost hum-like). You can hear it towards the beginning of the Dry Top song. Maybe it’s just an odd coincidence as violins are obviously very frequently used in a lot of songs unrelated to Cantha, but it’s definitely a familiar style of sound that was used a lot in Factions. There’s still hope! :P
It’s because Arena Net knows people want Cantha, and instead of actually making it, they’re releasing “Cantha” looking gem store items.
It’s hard to find a competent ranger hence the “no ranger” on LFG.
I did scale 38 FOTM few days ago with a ranger, whole run took about one hour.
Have been wondering where to make Celestial Armor or not too.
Here’s something I quickly made.
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQFAxksApZI8DRR8Ql5Y8iVFAYmERxlHRMA-TVRNwAHV/5kyPA7PgVHwNlgAA-w
Basically, I want to make a build that can easily change traits/skills without needing to switch armor.
6x Celestial x6 Divinity
Can those who play GW2 solely for sPvP/WvW get some bi-weekly updates?
At least basic balance updates and fixes?
If we’re ever to get a wvw update, it will most likely be tied to some PvE Living Story thing.
I think it’s all good and stuff for those who like the PvE content.
If you’re a WvW player, you won’t find anything worthy your time in this recent update.
And Its quite justifiable for WvW crowd to complain about the lack of updates to WvW.
Personally, I went to the map, ran aimlessly for couple of minutes, and went back to WvW. I’m not interested into story and i’m certainly not an achievement hunter.
