Faction was released about a year after the game launched.
I have the opposite experience, granted the player I’ve encountered doesn’t represent the entire server.
I even had a MAG Thief attack me while he was under the map.
Can you reflect reflected projectiles?
Keep the current instances limited to 5, increase the open world party limit to 8.
No balancing needed whatsoever.
What new activities can I do in Kessex Hills? What new content was added with the Kessex Hills update, and can I play it now?
I didn’t play the Tower thing.
I’m willing to bet that if I now quit GW2 and returned a year later, game still wouldn’t have a solid new content, probably some minor Qol updates though, new features, revamped dungeons, perhaps 2 short ones added, a small map or two, BUT, no new major content.
Then again, major is relative, I’m willing to bet that some think FOTM update was a huge addition to the game.
Fort Aspenwood.
Been playing on the server since the launch, the community is very friendly, helpful and everyone’s nice to each other.
We’re currently Tier 2 however due to MAG and SoS receiving tons of transfers, we’re most likely to go Tier 3 for a while, since we don’t currently have the numbers.

Anyone willing to donate me 250G so I can finish my Sunrise? :P
Yes. But you still get to hear this excuse all the time.
Quite frankly its annoying.
“We don’t care about PPT, we play for fights.”
Is a great excuse when you’re losing.
Quite bad one too.
You and your team run around an empty map, doing absolutely nothing to contribute your server while your opponent is smarter and camps/defend towers.
Oh, my bad, typo on phone, I meant small.
All maps and everything has been implemented through the Living Story so far, what I’m interested in is what are other teams working on, their projects, Arena Net has said that only small part of the company is working on LS.
(edited by Nick.6972)
According to NCSoft, Arena Net is not making/have no plans on making an expansion any time soon.
However, they have mentioned numerous of times that they have “big” background projects other non Living Story teams are working on, and so far we haven’t seen anything.
No precursor hunt, no new pvp game modes, no Qol updates, no new maps, no new dungeons (outside Living Story).
What exactly are these projects? Your thoughts?
My advice for a new players:
Don’t sell your crafting materials, you’ll thank me later.
Even without stacking, everyone can just run up to the boss and stand next to him and spam DPS occasionally dodging red circles or telegraphed attacks.
Update the monster AI. Make them move out of the AoE and make them active.

I haven’t touched Living Story since the Tequati update, and I don’t care about the achievements, they’re all 0/0 to me.

Couldn’t care any less what happened to LA.
Are we getting any new real content? Dungeon? Instance?This.
Congratulations, Anet, you’re doing exactly what most people expected you to do, destroy LA. You’re now jumping on the bandwagon that Blizzard started with Catacylsm, ableit a few years late.
And that’s all fine and dandy, but what does that mean for the players? Is LA going to become a new dungeon? Is this a new explorable “elite” area like the Tower of Nightmares was? What’s going to happen when this update is gone, is LA just going to be a smoldering ruin with a few angry mobs that no one will bother going to outside of world completion?
And the most important question of all: Is this the big, epic, sweeping change to the world that will rock Tyria to it’s core? Because if it is…Than once again, I am dissappoint.
It also doesn’t help that this is part 3 of 4 of the finale, and unless there’s some big, epic reveal at the end of it regarding Scarlet’s motives, than hey guess what, we’ll be going into the final update completely blind of what Scarlet’s plan is, and I’m sure you’ll shove it down our throats in one big paragraph instead of telling it a crossed the past year like you should have.
It’s really difficult to get excited for an update when the trailer posted for it has one minute of “Oh look pretty LA views with recap” and 15 seconds of actual new content featured. And as others have said, destroying a capital city in an MMO is nothing new, nor novel.
It would be really nice if we could go back to how things were prior to Origins of Madness, and have a nice preview page of what the update will entail a week before, instead of a minute long trailer that usually doesn’t even show anything other than 10-15 seconds of content.
Everyone already know’s the “big” reveal that’s going to happen thanks to reddit and data miners. Expect the most predictable thing.
Here’s a hint, look at the GW2 logo.

A truly challenging content should be awarded appropriately.
Level 1-9 Fractals should be at least 5 times less rewarding than Level 40-49.
You can be a casual player and still enjoy hardcore content.
Litany of Wrath.
It was bad even with my zerk guardian build.
Well, most people would cry if they released real hardcore instanced content that required great amount of skill, so yeah…
Why do we need a dragon to go back to Cantha? Maybe the water dragon swum away somewhere else, maybe it’s next to Lion’s Arch for all we know.
No idea. Haven’t played Living Story since the last September patch.
What about server alliances? Overstacked servers could help less populated servers.
All green servers as alliance A, red B, blue C.
Why did I get infracted for making a prediction? I was playing EOTM yesterday and some guy was talking in the chat that there’s an NPC in game saying something about Jungle Worms (The new world boss) being tied to the elder dragons.
Great moderation, honestly.
Yeah. Firstly by adding body blocking.
But of course those Windows XP servers wouldn’t handle it.
Stack and spam all the attacks = PvE in a nutshell.
It’s unlikely to happen though.
Why not merge all servers into 3 different colors like in EOTM? that would fix population issues.
High level fractals shouldn’t be less rewarding than champ trains which require you to literally press just one skill.
What’s the point?
Lets assume you stack your server, have 660PPT all the time and win each weak until you have no one to fight anymore.
I doubt that would be fun.
WvW is getting rather stale and repetitive regardless of the server you’re on, each day more and more people are getting bored, same match ups, no balance, bugs, etc.
And nothing new has been added to WvW for months that would revitalize the game play experience.
And I honestly doubt anyone is looking forward to the Season Two.
And no, EOTM is not WvW.
Is WvW a slowly sinking ship?
The AI wsn’t that great in GW1, but it was decent for a 2005 game.
You’d expect 2012 game surpass it, but, nope.
Try joining a friendly and helpful PvX guild.
Also, try running in groups rather than solo roaming.
Zombies in Minecraft have better AI, isn’t that sad?
If you have too many skills players will find only a few actual viable ones.
Look at GW1. Tons of skills, but there was really only 3 builds that were viable for each profession. Ritualist only had one IMO, SoS spirit spam. Monks? 55 monk…. Ranger? splinter barrage.
Lots of skills is just an illusion. You can only play one build at a time , and you will definitely be finding one single build that fits all content.
Are you joking? Monk – HB , UA, WoH Infuse, RC, ZB, 600hp/ 55hp, and tons of various builds for different missions/instances.
There wasn’t just ONE build that worked everywhere.
And what the hell is going on with FA? Tanking again?
As far as I know, no big guilds transferred to FA, if that was the case, the score would be different.
Cantha reveal/teaser trailer would be much better than the last 12 months of living story.
I don’t care about it. The story of this game is below mediocre, the characters are not believable, and they wont make them more likable to me by adding some lesbians romance, not that I have anything about it in real life.
Maybe Arena Net learns not to make half kitten cheaply reskined armor sets now.
10 000G and 100 Badges.
The current system is already forcing WvW players play PvE in order to make a Legendary.
Get over it, getting 30 ranks is easy, and I wish it would require much more.
5 Years from now:
“Why the hell we still can’t see when users were last online in guild log???”
I wonder how many posts do we need to get Arena Net’s attention?
Fractal weapons are ugly anyway. Best weapon skins are available only in Gemstore, same with armor.
Wouldnt be too surprised if they were selling Asceded Armor in gem store.
