How is GW2 doing financially?

I would love for the Mad King to terrorize the capital cities directly, would be nice if we could get full access to the Mad Realm. I’m not sure about you normal people but I just love Halloween so much! I live for this time of year. When the trees are resting, the sky is cloaked, and the air is frigid teeming with serenity. It makes the other eight insufferable months tolerable.

They don’t have the answers. That’s why we don’t have the answers.

They’ve no idea where they want to go with the Living Story. There are too many cooks in the kitchen and not enough writers.

<— Volunteer right here, and it so happens I’m a writer as well! Anyway, this statement seems correct.

Can I have a little more health and perhaps some toughness so that when my health reaches zero I can die on my feet like in ordinary games? I believe dying while laying on your back is dishonourable and downright insulting.

Quite a change

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Nightarch.2943

Agreed. The lack of serious content is bleeding my loyalty for the developers. For me, Guild Wars 2 isn’t immersive not in the slightest, hell it doesn’t even feel like Guild Wars to me anymore, it feels more like “Shiny Wars” or “Kiddy Wars” with the painfully so called “funny” dialogue being forced down my throat.

ArenaNet should gather all the profit they possibly can from this game and reintroduce prophesies, the original Guild Wars. And scrap this horrible project all together.

10) Add my version of events. “World Events”. These events will change the world of Tyria repeatedly unless stopped in its tracks by the players of GW2. Example: An ancient undead sorcerer summons an army of the dead to attack Divinity’s Reach. Players must spread the word quickly and rush to their aid to defeat the undead, and ultimately, confront the seemingly omnipotent sorcerer and gain the treasures he hides within his castle that he created instantly in Divinity’s Reach. If nothing is done, Divinity’s Reach will be destroyed for a period of one week, and the undead will continue their conquest by expanding their forces through many different maps. If you allow villages and entire cities to be destroyed, banks, merchants, and any npcs will flee from the city, leaving it completely desolate of all living creatures. Yes, you heard correctly. The undead will inhabit the land until you wipe them from the face of the earth.

That is what Everquest Next vows to make happen. Kind of eager to see how it will turn out. I agree to an extent. I want to be that person who allies himself with the undead, being the hero is too cliché and bland and colourful for me so I want to eradicate! That would make for a great PvE path actually, you could act as an mercenary to assassinate task appointers for a profit or act as an agent for your certain faction and start sabotaging things in an area to advance your faction’s control over the land. It’s like the more you do for your faction their main headquarters will look more powerful, have more persons of interest and a stronger guard body with a leader, a legit faction leader that works with their players, though granted random villages will have to have updated npcs that could hold their own. I so hope the devs are reading this but even if they were this is just wishful thinking at this point. #TeamWhiteMantle.

Possibility GW2 Never Gets Full Expansion

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Nightarch.2943

Nightarch.2943

I just want to remind folks again, the features and content you’d traditionally find in an expansion will absolutely be added to Gw2. The thing we haven’t decided is what form the release of that content would be presented in, be it a traditional expansion, living world, or some other form.

Make all the Elder dragons fight each other in some elaborate ruse and kill off the weakened victor so that we may focus on more important enemies like the Mursaat and Palawa Joko. You know it to be true Colin that the dragon’s are a bad overworked cliché in fantasy gaming.

1. Cross Professions, you gain half of what that profession has to offer like weapon types and abilities. You have access to that armour type as well(only for cosmetics), though chest pieces and leg equipment options are limited due to clipping issues.

2. World boss revamps, they spawn any where in that region. Example: The Shadow Behemoth could make an appearance in the Gendarren Fields or even in Divinity’s Reach only within Kryta excluding Southsun. Unique armour and mini pets are tied to these bosses.

3. Every mob now drops something you can use, loot is now tied to their families like it has been. unique items drop that player’s could use while exploring — A bandit could drop a treasure map that could set you off in a scavenger hunt depending on the rarity of the item it could lead you to multiple zones. Doesn’t have to be a map. Adds depth to exploration. The best example of this would be Runescape’s Treasure Trails. Lore and story elements will be deeply involved.

4. Off hand skills now have a cool down to a maximum of ten seconds depending on the skill. Weapons wielded in the off hand now have an extra skill slot that coexists in synergy with your main hand weapon and works along side it while you attack. This skill has no CD and has a distinct and random visual effect to make dual wielding more visually appealing.

5. Dynamic Event reward system revamp. This system is rudimentary, upon completion a box icon will appear next to the status medal, upon clicking this icon a list of player’s will appear from the best to the least effective I.E. Damage done, taken, and healed. This system rewards time and effort spent. Bronze will be rewarded a grey chest containing grey items, the silver will contain a common chest with a random item and the gold will contain a rare box with a couple of random masterwork items and a chance at unique vanity items depending on the event.

Downed state's Place in the game

Nightarch.2943

I do not believe it belongs in this game. PvE shouldn’t be centred around it because it opens the door for one shot mechanics and perma-stun fights, the new living world content best reflects this example. Stability only lasts for so long and the utility cool downs are downright redonkulous.

Not to mention it makes PvP in general pretty bland and annoying. When I PvP, I am here to see bodies drop not crawl around and knock back people for sake of just annoying the opposite opponent.

In all seriousness, the time gated content is driving me away everyday that I log in I feel forced to get daily things done which a game that is supposed to feel casual shouldn’t feel like that. I’ll get that stuff done when I want to, not when I need to. Anyway, time gated achievements which I blame by the way should only be a once in awhile thing, similar to that one game that did “feats of strength.” This game just feels like a repetitive chore.

Tl;dr: I just want to be able to complete something when I want to because of my hard off work hours. Now playing how you want? I would like a Sw/Sw necromancer that’s AoE based or a dual scepter wielding Elementalist.

Firm grip, comfortable and accurate with movement patterns. For my keyboard? Average, I just move with the arrow keys. >.>

But in the mean time, please keep telling us what you’re thinking. We are listening. Not only to what you’re saying but also to what you’re not. The very first living world team actually did the thing some of you have called for. Some 40 or so permanent events were added around the game in our very first content update. They were met with little interest or fanfare. Granted, Halloween may have stolen the show. But those events are still in the game today. I’ve seen very little reaction to them, however, positive or negative. Despite this, there are many events I would still like to add. Many zones and bosses I would love to revisit. As we get better at the living world, I strongly suspect we’ll have room to get around to them as well. Assuming that’s what our players really want. You are all the second half of the collaborative process, so thanks for helping!

I’m glad the team added the skritt treasure thief along with Modus Sceleris. I hope to see more updates like this though I’m only one man, with very odd tastes as most proclaim.

What happened to rewards for all concept?

Posted by: Nightarch.2943

Nightarch.2943

If you can’t look the chest because of another player then it’s not working as intended. We’ll look into it.

Other reasons include: you already looted that one or you’ve finished the balloon tourist achievement. The chests are not daily.

There’s also a decieving issue going on here. You may be able to see the chest from outside the tower and then when you get to the top it has opened. That’s because the chest doesn’t detect if you’re ineligible until you get to about the second floor. If there’s another player up there, it may appear they’re stealing it. I apologize for the confusion. I’ll see if we can fix it.

Hey while you’re at it, can you look into the flash of blinding light during the last gauntlet fight? Much appreciated.

What’s wrong with the blinding light?

Silence.

Silence, what do you mean with that? Your sound turns off?

Silence will fall when the question is asked.

Anyway, the flash of orange light disrupts my 4-second count of the circles. It’s quite unfair really, they have one shots and a blind that actually hurts your eyes isn’t fair one bit. Not sure if it’s intended or not.
