Guild Wars 2

30 Ranks isn’t hard.
Compare it with 100 Charged Lodestones.
Few days in WvW or 200G?

Quagan backpacks, Rainbow bows, Greatswords with hearts, etc, this game is far from immersive.

Level 40 Fractals should have x4 times better drops than level 1 fractals.
x4 Drops, gold, ascended armor, ascended rings.

I would like to see links on where Anet said they wanted this for a specific reason. People say “Anet wanted EotM for X or Y reason” and I don’t remember them saying any of that

“Q11: What do you view under ‘We want the best WvW experience’? What is the goal of WvW and what would be the best WvW experience with the addition of this map?”

DevonCarver
“11) The goal of this map is to provide a place for the thousands of people who queue daily to be able to experience the WvW experience rather than being left out. There will be massive battles, epic sieges, stirring defenses, and crushing defeats on this map. We want as many people as possible to be playing WvW and as we expand into other territories we want to make sure they don’t experience the massive queues that we saw at launch in NA/EU.”

Rephrasing Devon – Map made for overstacked Tier 1 servers.

Don’t worry, the map will be dead in a month or less.
I honestly doubt people will play it even if there’s a queue.

It might be decent for GvGs though.

Here’s my speculation.
Shiro is controlling Scarlet and once we deal with her Shiro will return for the third time riding Kuunavang. Then Arena Net will reveal that all this time they’ve been secretly working on Cantha expansion and that it’s going to be released this summer.

How hard could it possibly be to recreate HA maps and HA game mode in GW2?
Underworld map was literally just a square.

Although it would probably end up being a huge cluster * of skill effects.

Made for Tier One servers, there are hardly ever queues in Tier Two and lower servers.
Why would I want to play EOTM instead of WvW if there are never queues?

“Heroes’ Ascent, also known as HA, is a continuous global tournament between teams of 8 players from all over the world. Teams compete in several arenas in sequence before finally meeting in the Hall of Heroes, where they may win valuable loot. "

I absolutely loved Heroes’ Ascent in original Guild Wars.
I spent hours upon hours playing it, it was by far my favorite PvP game mode.

Has Arena Net said anything about returning this game mode back to GW2?

You farm everything in Trading Post.

What’s your opinion on the new EOTM update?
Do you like it, dislike it?

Personally, after trying the EOTM for roughly 2 hours, I found myself already bored and mildly disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, I love the new map design and verticality, however the gameplay itself in just, well, nothing special, nothing I will likely return to.

Please, help me understand the point of the EOTM?
Running around aimlessly killing stuff while I’m “waiting” for queue?

Can you get anything special? Why play EOTM over the real WvW?

Yeah. It’s not even my subjective opinion.
Make a vote asking which skins look better, BLTC or Zenith/Queen’s/Ascended/Fractal.

And that justifies the insane RNG and gambling? How?
And please, compare those few “good looking sets” to BLTC skins.

Apparently finishing level 10 Personal Story gives you a BLTC Key, so I finished lvl 10 PS with 5 of my characters and got 5 keys.
I opened all of them and got 0 tickets and some useless boosters.
How am I supposed to get one of these weapons with this insane RNG?

Black Lion Keys were on sale for 20% off. Whenever you see these sales, buy a couple of stacks, and you should be good to go.

Yeah sure, buy 10 keys for 85G and get some crappy boosters in return? No thank you.

Here’s an idea Arena Net – how about you add new in game skins that can be aquired without gem store? Have you thought about it?

Ecto prices going down, T6 mats going up.

FOTM rewards are still a joke, that’s why I stopped doing my daily runs.
It’s funny how they don’t reward hard content properly.

I rather have a funny commander over overly serious commander.
It’s just a game, I want to have fun.

GLF Zerkers / Ping Gear or Kick

Something revealing but tasteful.
A Heavy armor that looks similar to T3 Human Medium.

So, about a year ago or more, they said something along the lines “Keep asking and you’ll get it”, a year later, still nothing and I doubt that they’re making an expansions as a background project.
If they were to start making it tomorrow, we would most likely see it only in 2016, so year, thanks Arena Net…

They have officially stated that they are actively working on an expansion at the moment. They just aren’t sure what form they will release it in – aka like a traditional expansion, gem store purchase, free, content released over time etc.

Official statement? Where?

I’d love to finish my Legendary as soon as its possible, however, I’m tired of running same dungeons every day again and again.

Is there a way I can earn gold with crafting?

Are they coming any time soon? Have Arena Net said anything?
I’m just 200G away from my legendary, but the current weapons are just too common at this point, and I’m really starting to wonder whether I really want to make my Sunrise.

Just wait, when we get to Tier 3, then suddenly all FA will start playing again, like always.

FA loves easy match ups and usually gives up on tougher ones.

Buying Precursor from TP is sure legendary.

So what’s happening to FA? We’re preparing for Season Two?
Bad organization? What organization? There are no people on our map o any BLs.

Dee Jay.2460:

Considering how “dated” the engine was even at release (no DX 11, no 64-bit optimization, poor multi-core support) I doubt GW2 is really much of a Mantle candidate.

I feel like GW2 was programmed for PCs in 2009, except it didn’t come out until 2012.

Guild Wars 2 was originally supposed to come out in 2008, so yeah, that explains it.

So the current theories lead to either a new Dragon or Abadon?
Since we know that they’re “done” with Abadon, its the first option, right?

Anyway, If I had to choose between Abadon or new dragons, I’d choose Abadon, or Dhuum, or whatever that’s continuation of the GW1 lore.

What about the Mursaat? For whatever reason that last Reactor boss reminded me them.

The easiest and laziest way to fix everything would be by removing the score completely.

Teleport skills? You can already teleport through doors and walls.

Silent Shino.7239:

to this day I still haven’t figured out how it’s possible to get into the citadel

Stealth + Portals?

UW wasn’t easy to do with Heroes. You could farm and complete some quests, but you weren’t able to complete a full run.

DoA was awesome too, I’d gladly change all GW2 PvE maps to get it back in GW2, of course updated and more difficult.

I welcome extremely hard content, however, I’m not interested fighting with the Overflow system or getting stuck with random people who have no idea what they have to do.
Also, the drops are so extremely disappointing that there’s almost no motivation to do these events. If each Wurm kill gave you 1 Token and you could trade 10 for a unique skin, that would be great.

You could enter in UW alone too and farm the mobs for Ectos (Which were really common drops compared to GW2’s abysmal system and diminishing returns). You could earn decent amount of money without completing the instance.

The mobs were quite hard though.
Aatxes could 2-3 hit and you get kicked out of the instance.

How would this work in GW2? Give monsters extremely high DPS and low/medium health with 1-2 second telegraphed attacks, fail to dodge/ move out of the red circle, you’re dead.

High risk, high reward.
Punishment forces you to become a better player.

RedStar.4218:

Because there isn’t any dedicated healer in this game, any kind of event where you need to protect NPCs is completely terrible.
And Anet doesn’t wish to punish players so harshly as wipe=full restart.

No need for a healer, just split players into small teams and and make them face bosses with similar difficulty as Liadri.
And why not punish?

Wikipedia: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/The_Underworld
Youtube(Final boss Dhuum): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBlWtvwe7no

The Underworld was elite/hardcore 8 player instance in original Guild Wars.
It required a small fee to enter and was extremely punishing – it had no “way points” and if a single NPC died, your whole party was kicked out of the instance without receiving any loot or reward.
Players had to do certain difficult tasks before they could access the final boss Dhuum.
There were no diminishing returns and rewards were worth the effort and time spent.
A run for skilled players usually took around 30-50 minutes, while “pug” groups anywhere from 2 to 3 and more hours.
Needless to add, this was the most played instance/mission/content in original game.

So, the question is, why can’t we have a similar content in Guild Wars 2?
A content that’s entirely skill based and where failure/death is not allowed?

Where can I find a server/people who are doing organized runs without random pugs who fail everything?

So what happens if SoR goes Tier 2 or lower? Who will fight Tier 1? No server want to face them.

Yeah, I know, I just thought of a something similar to Liadri, since if you remember all PvE players whined for days because of the difficulty when she was added.
Just a thought. Maybe the new map has something like this.

I’ve got 1 Ascended Ring and that’s it.

Ptolemy.5086:

How did you get in? Cata? Kudos on having bolls trying to take keep solo and ROFL on using staff on champ. Considering your weapons choice you are build to run in zerg or group not solo.
It remind me my last Kaineng days when i could run across any BL and see nobody besides NPC and even they look bored.

No Idea, I went afk for some couple of minutes with autorun on, and when I cme back, the Hills were taken. I was in a quite visible spot, I’ve no idea how they didn’t see me.
As for staff, yeah, not the best DPS, but hey, at least I didn’t die.

They should add challenge missions of some sort in WvW, so individual players can help their servers without running with zergs.

Im running full cleric, 16k Health, 0/0/20/30/20, works great on front lines, of course, if it wasn’t for the lag, it would work even better.
I love being a support/healer/tank.

You’ve ever heard : quality over quantity?

I love how they closed the original thread.
And yet, people keep paying them real money, and arena net continues producing no real new content, maps or expansions.

GW2 seems just a huge cash cow at this point for NCSoft so they can produce better games like Wildstar.

What if earned score points would be scaled to the total players on the map.
By that I mean: If Server A has 100 players and B 10 Players, each player on A server can only earn 1 point, while server B 10 points.

That or just completely remove the score. No more drama.

Here’s how you fix it.
Fort Aspenwood needs more SEA players, DB please transfer.

I don’t want WoW like raids, I want Elite Missions for GW1.
