Oh I’m sure people more experienced in MMOs can tell you the names of recently released games that have only one PvP mode ( we have 2 by the way ). Oh and just so you know, we are in 2013 and WoW still has like 5 battlegrounds and deathmatch arenas afaik, nothing to brag about.
But anyways I don’t want to argue with a wall and derail the thread, so bubye.
WvW isn’t a pvp mode, its a zerg mode or a lag mode, call it as you wish. Game did not just came out yesterday, they had one year to add at least one mode hundreds been asking… nothing been done and no plans in the future.
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
Mobas are free or are far from costing $60… GW2 should be a full package, not come with one pathetic mode everyone hates (this is not my opinion, go on spvp section and see sup). There’s absolutely zero excuse of not having AT LEAST tdm at launch and in one year they had, we should have more than three pvp modes by now. How many do we have? ONE. When asked why, they answer with the “we tried and it doesn’t work”… wtkittend of response is that? I don’t understand… How the hell won’t TDM not work in a game where combat shines? You know why its not in the game 11 months after game’s release? because they’re lazy. Creating a brand new mode and map(s) for that mode take boatload of time, time that could be spent on brand new hot hot hot gem store items and their Living Creature~~~ i mean Living Story crap 13 people enjoy.
Dota 2 is for sale. The thing is I rarely see a lot of PvP modes in MMOs. Wow has Battlegrounds, Runescape had something similar to that. We have WvW and Spvp. While yes more modes would be nice, I don’t see this game as inferior to other MMOs just because it doesn’t have a varied selection of modes, because most MMOs do not!
TDM? You mean this? “Time-division multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting and receiving independent signals over a common signal path by means of synchronized switches at each end of the transmission line so that each signal appears on the line only a fraction of time in an alternating pattern. This form of signal multiplexing was developed In telecommunications for telegraphy systems in the late 1800s, but found its most common application in digital telephony in the second half of the 20th century.” they’re worknig with GW1 engine, that to be honest is pretty kitten old. I can understand a method not working on an old engine in a big MMO.
And living story crap that 13 people enjoy? Oh that’s why there’s multiple overflows every time an invasion happens! Because nobody is enjoying the living story and not doing activities tied to it!
tdm=team death match… You seriously think overflows are there because all these people care so much about their crappy living story? No, people are there to farm mindless mobs in an over nerfed game where farming isn’t allowed. I let you guess how many of those hundreds would be doing these invasions if mobs dropped nothing, that number would be 13 players and would have no overflow.

You launch a game with ONE freaking pvp mode LOL… How many games launch with one game mode? I don’t think i ever seen a single game with one mode.
Uhm I don’t know, World of Warcraft? And that’s if you count open world PvP as a PvP-mode. Otherwise it was zero.
So when was WoW released again? yeaaaaaah, we aren’t in 04 anymore, standards change (and i didn’t even play WoW so i have no idea if it had only one mode, its hard to believe if it had only one).

of course i played eotn as everyone who’ve spent years in gw1. I never ever followed any kind of lore in gw1, i just don’t care about which dragon invades what town. I cared about gw1 diversity in builds, pvp and pve. None of this is available in gw2. You launch a game with ONE freaking pvp mode LOL… How many games launch with one game mode? I don’t think i ever seen a single game with one mode. But hey, they had one year, shouldn’t we have more than ONE pvp mode by now? Naaaah, i don’t think so… just laughable.
PvP only games sometimes resort to only having one mode. Look at most mobas.
Build diversity is still there. Just because most people go for the same build that they copied off the Internet does not mean that you can’t diversitise your builds. Most warriors that I meet in game do not know how much DPS does a riffle have in comparison to a long bow, how well off they could be with axe/ mace combo instead of the same big greatsword. Most Rangers don’t know how to build straight damage with swords. There’s a bunch of things that you can try out on different characters – gear, weapon, trait combinations.
And I think that one should most definitely care about the lore. When people complain here on this thread they complain about the differences in story telling (lore), not about pvp.

Its impossible to forget gw1 when i was playing it daily less than a year ago and that for 5 years. That plus its freaking GUILD WARS 2… Not Wii Fit 2 or Call of Duty 872: Extreme Warfare Edition but Guild Wars 2! The two should and always will be compared and since gw2 fails compared to it predecessor on all fronts, it should be compared to it even more often.
Guild Wars 1 fails compared to Guild Wars 2 on a whole lot of fronts too. You’re so invested in Guild Wars 1, you just can’t see this.
I agree there were things that were deeper/more interesting in Guild Wars 1…but not everything.
Okay, name me these failing gw1 fronts. Is having 1.3k+ skills available to you a fail front just because anet said “its impossible to balance the game with so many skills”? Even the instanced world felt better than this zerg fest we currently have in gw2 because 1. there was NEVER any kind of lag and 2. exploration with a buddy or two + heroes was waaaaaaaaaay better and much more challenging.

Even tho gameplay was 70% different (you still had stealth) you knew perfectly well that THIS IS MGS. You have no flying @&&$ idea wth you’re playing when it comes to gw2. Is it a zerg simulator? is it a gem store simulator? Mario wannabe? are we still in alpha/beta testing stage? I don’t know!!!
Did you play the last expansion for GW1? Eye of the North? If you did then I assure you it feels very much like Guild Wars.
I know that you’re unhappy about GW2, you were posting similar posts since the game released, however both games still share the same lore, the same races, the same maps and both games do share similarities. If you can’t see that then I can’t help you.

After reading all this I think that my younger sister could provide better story sitting on a toilet on monday morning still without coffee. God, month after month there’s not enough story for one full sentence.
This content I’d describe as: “Scarlet (who?) invade.”
Former ones: “Molten Alliance destroys signposts, heroes repair.”
“People on new island, where dangerous creatures attack (surprise!).”
“Balloons for unimportant people.”

Everything in this game can be bought with money, why you want the last thing that involves some ppl work instead, to be the same?
Actually its one of my few little hopes that this game can become something ‘fun’ instead ‘pay and get anything u want’
Because i have 16 fractal skins that have no use. I’d prefer giving them away for free than let them rot on my storage character
I gotta say, for someone who hates the game as much as your posts generally suggest, you sure do play it a lot. What’s that about? Love/hate thing?
OP is mad because he is getting rare items that he can’t make a profit on. That’s it. It is greed nothing more. You might as well make the dungeon token items trade-able too then. If someone wants to have the Arah look, they shouldn’t be forced to actually DO Arah, right?
here’s the difference, arah and the rest of dungeon equipment are acquired with tokens, fractal weapons and ascended rings aren’t. There’s no reason to make the 8 main dungeon equipment sellable but there’s one when it comes to fractal weapons because its just an exotic weapon you get from a chest, nothing else. The OP is me… and im not mad about something that’s been like that since November 2012… I just want to find a use for fractal weapons i have stored on my storage character for half a year. Is it too much asking to be able to sell what i got? In this game i guess it is.
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
I don’t think even anet knows. They just spam us with reskined mobs of enemies so you go zerg some more instead of complaining that this game has nothing for you to do. I mean, don’t try to follow a story in an mmo because its an mmo, stories worth following isn’t something known to this genre.

They don’t care. Do I regret having to deal with ‘dynamic zerg fest’ instead of strategic combat? Yes i do.

16 Indiviual skins or stacks?
I for one would love the sword or dagger, But glad their not on TP. I love the fact that I have axe/focus fractal weapons and chances of other people having them is low. In an MMO it makes me feel more unique.
Their account bound so they can be used on any alt.. If you want them to be sold.. then the only.. ONLY!! thing I’ll accept is vendor selling- like Ascended Rings. (4 Silver)
… I do not like, do not want nor will ever be happy to know that fractal weapons can be brought off the TP by people who dont invest in the high levels/chance for drops.
If you want fractal weapons – invest in the time… Dont want them – get rid of them or (if changed – vendor them).
i have 19 fractal weapons in all, use the sword/harpoon/pistol and have nothing to use the rest on. They should at least let use salvage them for T7 mats or something (when introduced) because salvaging a fractal weapon for a chance of 1-3 ectos doesn’t feel right at all.

It doesn’t occur to all mobs. Some mobs will get the icon, others won’t. I know most Moa don’t get it.
No, it doesn’t occur to all, correct. Only certain mobs in low level areas and the cows near troll’s cave in Queensdale is a perfect example.

The more I think about it, the more I think I’d rather just play a game with a sub fee and none of this monetizing crap.
Edit: but to be clear, I would not pay a sub fee to play GW2. Not worth it.
Of course its not worth it. For what would you be paying $15/month for, wvw and its engine exclusive 13fps lag fest? There’s nothing but an empty world with 90% of the gw2 population dancing naked in LA telling others how many legendary weapons they have… There’s no content for you to log in and spend hours with your friends or alone, absolutely nothing.

I don’t care. All i want is skins you acquire by playing the game (you know? how its meant to be in an rpg???), not buy them in an rng chest and have no content to even use them in
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
FOTM is like currently the only slightly challenging endgame content, and in many peoples’ opinion also the best endgame content we currently have. If anything, they need to add more unique rewards and incentives for people to keep running fractals.
Dungeon loot gets a buff, champion loot gets a buff, and even get rank chests in WvW now. Why are there no new incentives for people to do FOTM?
To the OP: I agree legendaries shouldn’t be sellable, but neither should fractal skins. Giving everyone access to every skin in the game that can simply be bought by gold without putting any effort in = fail
and i would agree if legendary weps and ascended (which are already supposed to be) were acc bound but they aren’t. Even if they were all acc bound, we should be able to do something with these ‘rare’ skins if you don’t have nor plan to have a character that use these weapons. Or are we supposed to store them in storage/storage characters and forget them completely? Instead of getting X weapon, we should be getting a ticket which then let us trade for any fractal weapons, T6 mats and so on. I want to do something with my 5 fractal hammers!
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
First of all learn to read. I said no such thing about legendaries. I didn’t even mentioned that.
Legendary weapons should not be sellable ofcourse. Other non exotic non rare skins being account bound on the other hand is lame.
I’m all up for more of these kind of rewards, unique skins, that you can only get by doing certain “harder” things. This way we get at least some sense of accomplishment.
I didn’t say you mentioned legendaries, i asked you a question because there’s something very wrong with what can and can’t be sold. Since they allowed us to sell weapons acquired with bl chests, there’s no reason to not let us sell fractal weapons.
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
So, to you, selling a weapon that takes months to craft (legendary weps) makes perfect sense to be sold on TP with your “sure let’s give everyone everything… Kids these days” but not a random drop from a dungeon? Like really? You can’t be serious here… What do you say about ALL other exotic skins that drop from fotm chests and are acc bound? This is also “sure let’s give everyone everything… Kids these days”?
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
Its not weak, its the weakest and by a long shot. If you can quickly apply 20+ stacks (like a mesmer), it has some uses for a burst but attacks that apply 1-3 stacks are a joke. Wtf am i supposed to do with 1 stack? Like come da F on….
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
Because otherwise half the people who do fractals will stop doing them…
look at gw2lfg site for fractals, its already dead and been dead for some time. Not to say fractal skins would cost cheap enough that anyone could afford them. Take Genesis for example, you can farm it for weeks and not get it, at the same time you can purchase it but it costs quite a lot. Same should be with fractal skins. Not only its good for those who are looking for a certain fractal weapon that never drops for them, but its also great for those who invested hundreds of hours in fotm and are looking to sell their unused fractal weapons. Win/win situation on both fronts.

This has nothing to do with DD, your staff or armor. This is what many mobs (such as cows/moas) get when you attack them in low level areas like Queensdale. Do it in Orr or any other high level areas and Fear will never proc on any mobs unless you’re wearing the armor that does.
They don’t get “fear” their AI gets “scared” and they start running. Fear is an actual condition that can be applied.
which has the same icon and pretty much guaranteed the reason tc thinks its a trait/staff bug?
No. It has no icon. The ai will just turn around and run.
Wrong. they get the same icon and are feared for 3sec. This is done with Divinity runes

Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
Give me just one reason please. A freaking legendary can be sold, an exotics can be sold (which is what fractal weapons are), even bl chest skins can now be sold but not fractal weapons? These skins aren’t from dungeon tokens as any other dungeon armors/weapons, aren’t Ascended (for some messed up reasons a legendary is sellable but not ascended…) so what’s up with that? Did they just woke up one day and decided to not let us sell Fractal weapons? This also applies to every exotic item you get from FoTM chests,,,,,,, why the F are they acc bound?

I pretty much never say this but there’s SIGNIFICANTLY more important things for them to add/fix before this dueling can start. You can already duel if you really want to, in wvw or spvp. Before they add any kind of dueling, plz give us end game and none sucky pvp objectives such as capping circles in tiny kitten maps. Give me TDM/attack defend/CTF before any kind of useless dueling arenas are implemented.

I won’t even consider this an update, its like nothing happened, but the addition of new ripoff boxes. No content was added to be experienced, no bugs been fixed, no new weapons/skills been added to every profession (as been said for some time now). Nothing. Is your gameplay plans for 2015 and we’re stuck on this festival bull**** from last year, this whole year and next year? Stop with these stupid festivals/joyful events as if it was a party every single update and nothing else but “important new gem store item been added for purchase” and talk to brainless npcs as patches content… wtkittend of content is that? Getting really annoying because i can already see what’s next update will be like and the one after AND THE ONE AFTER without even needing a crystal ball…
How on earth do you manage to apply the term party or festival to an invading army targeting most of the world?
how is that not content?
You make no sense
oh c’mon now with this invading thing… its more mindless zerging with reskined enemies, same crap we’ve got since day one. Do you seriously log in and go experience this ‘new’ mindless zerging when its exactly the same crap everyone been complaining since day one? This is not new content for people to enjoy, this is same crap we had since August 28th that received tones of complains because there’s nothing challenging or rewarding, just mindless aoe/auto attack spam. Where’s the creativity in this team? Every patch is the same~ talk to npc, watch a crappy cutsceen and go spam some aoe on a ‘new’ mob they’ve added… wth is this. GW2 is turning into a huge Horde Mode title in which you buy skins with gems and go kill mindlessly with zero goal.
it is still content
it is also not a festival
Which is what you were raving about
I dunno about that, everywhere i go in pve i see stupid balloons n stuff. You just wait for next patch, gotta be a huge celebration because that living story bs its all it got, celebration after celebration instead of content for people to enjoy in a group.

6/6 runes with torch mes = 25 stacks ez. Outside of PvP (WvW) you can stack with condi duration sigils/food buffs. It’s slightly unfair, but bring more condi removal.
You can put up confusion stacks faster then you can remove them, so more condi removal is not going to help most classes.
I love destroying folks with it, but it is in need of an ICD.
it doesn’t need an icd, 5 stacks per rups make no sense if you look at abilities of any other runes in the game. No more than 2 stacks should be applied and if they keep it at 5, it better be for 3sec, not insanely long 8sec+all the condi duration food its just crazy.

has anyone actually used this rune or has faced off against someone who has this? or are people just panicking about facing something that wasn’t the norm before they introduced this?
just watch this and tell me its not ridiculous on engi. Its the most OP rune in this game if your class has access to good amount of CC and its even better when your class is already amazing for condis even without (engi would be the one)

Here’s yet ANOTHER example of anet giving you skins without any goals/challenge for you to achieve them. That’s what casuals want and that’s all they’re listening to.
Actually, the casuals (including myself) want to DIRECTLY BUY the skins with gems. We’re fine with that. Hell, three of my characters have the gemstore quiver on them.
But if ANet thinks I’m going to spend real money on a CHANCE to get a skin, they can go … use their warhorn.
that would earn them much less money so don’t expect any changes until people stop buying their overpriced crap. In almost 12 months i haven’t bought a single key for these stupid chests and don’t see myself doing it eveeeeer. Easy skins have no value for me personally (unless they look very good which never happened with their rng boxes yet), i want something hard to attain by playing the game, not craft in mystic toilet.

GW2 is a MMO, it has to have some time-gated content to keep you playing.
All this does is say “F this i’m out”. There’s ZERO fun in waiting days to craft a freaking material… Like where’s the excitement? Even camping a rare boss that spawns once a week would’ve been 10000% more exciting than craft a freaking mat when you need tones just for one armor piece. You don’t nerf the game to the ground, kitten rng, DR and time gated content to make people play, you give them content with long lasting appeal such as a game that wasn’t even an mmo called GW1 had. Its really pathetic where they’re going, just sayin
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
From Future Update Notes:
This will allow you to get all Gw2 crafting professions Armorsmith, Artificer, Chef, Huntsman, Jeweler, Leatherworker,Tailor and Weaponsmith to level 500. When you reach 500 points you will be able to make a new tier of crafting materials. These new crafting materials will be made by combining lower tier materials. You will be able to make each of these new tier crafting materials once per day.
These new crafting materials will be used to craft account-bound ascended armour and weapons. So we will finally get to craft ascended gear, but it will take some time to make a full set as the required materials will be time-constrained.
———————————————————————————————————————————————-
So basically once a month we will get the privilege to buy 250 of 2 or more t6 mats (around 150 gold, probably around 300 after this update hits), along with who knows what else to craft a single piece of ascended gear. IDK about you guys, but to people who haven’t won the lottery (precursor drop) anything over 100g is almost unreachable.
What ever happened to doing challenging content for end game gear? GW2 is becoming a game were all you have to do is buy gems, and spend 3 hours leveling a crafting profession to be in BiS gear. GW1 never had cancerous stuff like this and it was B2P, why is GW2 going down this road?
“What ever happened to doing challenging content for end game gear” THIS THIS AND THIS. Wtf is up with their once a day bs? Is this the norm for mmo’s these days or is this the first doing this kind of kitten? What the f are you doing with your own game, anet? Do you want me to sign in once a week in 2014 because T8 mats will be craftable once a week next year? I want to grind challenging content for these rewards, not kittening wait weeks/months for mats and then craft them…… I don’t want to craft anything that looks ‘special’ but get it in your end game, oh wait, what end game? I don’t think these dudes understand wtf people want and the new rng bl chests shows it pretty nicely.

I wonder what they did cause my game lags less with the culling gone. Being able to see the Champs and all the players in the new events is Legendary. That’s what MMO battles should look like.
set character details to the highest and amount of players to the higher then come back to this thread. I have 23fps in LA with reflections turned off and that’s on a gaming rig rofl.

Artists and modellers aren’t playable-content designers.
Not to mention it’s quicker to design and produce skins than to produce playable content (which also requires art assets as well as all of the other bits).
these new skins are added with every patch… when was the last time they added an elite zone where you had a goal and hunt for their new skins only available in that area? November 2012… We’re in August 2013 and received NOTHING like that, but we did received dozens of new free/easy to acquire skins that is from TP or rng boxes… Where is the fun in getting a new shiny skin when its on TP instead of a brand new challenging dungeon that requires strategies to beat?

They were already good way before 2010… I think its that year that they actually downed their effectiveness in pve by increasing CoP cd and changing Vision of Regret. When you say “no one liked mesmers in gw1” are you talking about 05-06 or something? I joined in Spring 07 and they weren’t very hot because CoP wasn’t in the game yet but they were far from bad. Unpopular before 08, yes. Bad? Far from it.

adding a skin as “new content” is much easier and faster than a brand new elite zone people been asking for a year. This is how they roll, spam skins/mini games/jumping puzzles while promising “big changes” in the years to come lol they’re trying to keep you busy with kiddy content and new skins that have nowhere to be used in. Like am i supposed to buy your rng chests, get a zod skin and stand in LA? Why do you add skins when there’s not a single place outside WvW to even use them in?

I like the way they look, overall it’s the best weapon set of the “new” sets in GW2. I don’t give a rat’s rump if they look different than the GW1 Zodiacs did (I owned those too fyi). It’s a different game, if I wanted a carbon copy I would go back and play GW1 again. doh
Anet —- please stop with the ever worsening RNG. It cost me 175 Gold to get my Aetherized Rifle, which is ridiculous. I’m not going to be wasting anything on BL Keys again after that, but I would consider buying a skin outright for some RL cash. If armor sets are 800 gems ($10.00) then I think it fair to offer a weapon skin for 400 gems ($5.00). People would buy them like candy. Let us have 3 ways to eat our cake please.
- - very rare drop as in-game loot
- - very rare BL chest drop
- - spend $5.00 and get it outright.
^^^ That should keep everyone happy, other than the perpetual whiners. :p
Seriously? One year later and you’re still spending gold/dollars on these? The reason this garbage is back every time is because too many dumb people are buying them… Let these dumb people spend their real life money while you buy these skins on TP if there’s a skin you really like.

Uuummmm… okay that’s really funny. You guys are right about them moving in an interrupt-heavy direction, and here’s why that’s funny:
In Guild Wars 1, Mesmer started out as an interrupt, or a punish-if-you-do-this (the current equivalent is confusion), profession. The reason Mesmer got completely reworked was because NO ONE LIKED PLAYING THIS. Mesmers were sometimes found in PvP, but not very often, and almost never played in PvE. Anet decided to go a completely different direction and turned them into signet-users and nukers+debuff/support.
How hilariously ironic that in Guild Wars 2 they started with a different kind of Mesmer and then began moving them toward a gameplay style they ultimately admitted was not fun or desirable in their first game.
You haven’t played gw1 and that shows lmao. Everyone who’ve played mesmer in gw1 didn’t just liked the class but for the most it was their fav or in the top 3… Have you heard of CoP way in pve? Yeah, that’s right, you haven’t cuz you probably did not play gw1 at all or played it when gw2 came out and gw1 was dead already. Cry way was the fastest mob killer build of any aoe builds (including nukers) and that was done with mesmers. All the record times in almost every single elite zone was done with guess wut? mesmers… Mesmers were amazing for pvp for obvious reasons and awesome for pve because of aoe armor ignoring damage. The reason why they’ve changed mesmers COMPLETELY for gw2 has nothing to do with people not liking mesmers in gw1 rofl. The reason why they changed them is the fact that gw2 is aimed at casuals and casuals can’t handle a shutdown class. They would do nothing else but cry on this same forum if mesmers stayed the same… People not liking mesmers in gw1 haha that’s a good one lol

Here’s yet ANOTHER example of anet giving you skins without any goals/challenge for you to achieve them. That’s what casuals want and that’s all they’re listening to.
