Guild Wars 2

Onshidesigns.1069:

I already paid for a expansion in gems!

I would never give currency to a company that does not fix major issues in game after a bloody year.

The games not as broken as you think.

Montezuma.1436:

Onshidesigns.1069, I am in one of the biggest guilds of the most popular European server.

A good server for a large guild to guest in. A low populated one.

Nightarch.2943:

If they announce an expansion, if anything, they would make more currency and it would bring back a lot of players. Introduce new playstyles for existing weapons as well as expanding on existing ones, introduce the Tengu/Largos. Introduce Northern Tyria, Cantha, and Elona. New professions… The possibilities are endless.

They would make less off a traditional expansion. Not everyone will buy it and leave the game.

I already paid for a expansion in gems!

Montezuma.1436:

Onshidesigns.1069, the Tequatl event has two major flaws:
1) it’s an open world event and you face hordes of slacking pugs not allowing teamed players to enter the same instance. And there is no solution for that. Even overflows are heavily queued.
2) the renumeration for very hard and very coordinated teamwork, which is necessary to kill the Teq, is not worth it.
I think that in the current state Teq event is devs fail.

I would rather have raid open world. If you want to be mostly your guild? You have to search for a good server to guest on.

You also have Southsun. It seems like it was designed for guilds.

There are no problems with Teq that will not be fixed.

Legendaries are already some of the best looking weapons in the game with flashy particle effects.

Any new class would need a look better than Legendaries. This is not possible, as Anet is already trying it’s best to make Legendaries look good.

I can see more subclasses of Legendaries but with the same stats.

Montezuma.1436"Having extensive experience of quite a number of MMOs (including Lineage, Aion, Lotro, SWTOR, WoW) i would say that gw2 must have weekly raids for 25 and weekly instanced bosses. I don’t know why this was not done before. With exclusive drops of armors and weapons as incentives.
a) significantly improve gamers personal PVE challenges,
b) bring more socializing into gameplay,
c) change guilds agenda and strengthen guilds role in gw2
raids for 25 and weekly instanced bosses."

I say NO to instanced bosses and raids. The “Tequatl Rising” content update does provide this kind for content. But there are problems with it that will be addressed (scaling, AFK players, players waiting from no timer).

All world bosses will be updated to provide raid like content for anyone.
Hopefully Anet will rework Orr temples to make opening them like raid content.

On B and C) instanced does not provide content that strengthen guilds role on the server. Because other players can’t see how great your guild is.

Gear grinds are not new content! And they ultimately destroy every good MMO by gating content. Which discharges new players from playing the game.

End game should NOT revolve around endless stat increases.

It is…it really is… Regardless of what the haters say, it is still the best MMO on the market right now.

Cheers!

Wow* is the best MMO on the market right now.

Most of the game is DEAD!

So is Guild Wars 2 by your logic. I dare you to guest to Gate of Madness and try to find a single person that isn’t in LA within a 24 hour timespan. You can’t do it. Does that mean gw2 is dead? No.

I transferred to TC long ago. Maybe you should change servers.

Expansions will most likely be realized with the LS. Why do you want to pay extra for a traditional expansion? I paid for my expansion ahead of time with gems!

ColinJohanson “Just to clarify a bit, as Mike said there are numerous teams beyond our Living World teams, and some of them are working on much longer term projects which we’ll go into details on much further down the road.” This is your expansion like content that will be released through the LS at some point.

Cosmetic mounts (Broom, Tunneling) are missing some things that would make them more popular.
*Speed should match the players running speed.
*Dodge ability with sprint (like thief)
*mount emotions
*food speed to work on mounts

80 is not a accomplishment in this game. You can reach it playing in 1-15 zones.

This game is a sandbox game at level 80.

I haven’t seem many people farming champs in Orr on TC. But if people can start doing it. This video shows how.

Mathias.9657:

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

Absolutely no point in adding mounts.

Actually it would be pretty cool. 20% or 25% speed increase max, just for looks mainly. Immune to swiftness? idk.

Enemies AI can’t react to the increase in speed.

They should farm champs in Orr. It’s much more profitable.

Ronah.2869:

I would like a jet-board/skateboard/snowboard/any type of flying board like the broom

I could see Anet making cosmetic mounts like this.

Droodle.5278:

Hi

I would like to earnestly suggest to the developers of Guild wars 2 that you INCLUDE MOUNTS IN THE GAME!!!!

Stop asking for this. Anet will never add large mounts faster than running speed.

Developer who designed the puzzle admitted there was camra issues with it. But the puzzle can not be changed without a complete redesign.

My post “Make hair work like finishers”
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/twilight/Make-hair-work-like-finishers/first#post2960455

Hair needs to be something that is unlocked. So you change and reuse each unlocked hairstyle.

This gives players more to choose from everyday. And it saves Anet from having to address every clipping issue.

This game needs to be more tactical in how we use our builds. “Instant Trait Reset” through a one time use gem store item does not do this.

Anet needs to realize that there is a untapped market of potential players who want a more tactical fantasy mmo.

GreenAlien.5623:

Please dont. This will get annoying quickly..

You don’t need the buff. It’s just meant to promote travel.

Each of the NPC’s here give a town speed buff.

My suggestion is that they also give a small buff for one hour to use in combat. A small stat increase that is a reflection of each god.

This would also promote travel to cities.

Other cities would have a NPC buffs similar this. Not sure what those would be and who you would pray to to receive them.

Maybe the Shatterer has Mesmer abilities?

Xcom.1926:

Nuka Cola.8520:

GW2 needs an expansion more than any games released in the last 5 years.

Agreed but when should they release it? Do you think a good time would be Spring 2014 when games like ESO, NCSoft’ own WildStar and games like Destiny are released? Not to mention a WoW expansion.

Seems like it is a very saturated time to release any type of MMO.

If they make a paid expansion. Anet should remove the gem store from the game.

Conner.4702:

Onshidesigns.1069:

Traditional expansions gate content and divide game communities in other games.

Yes, because what Anet is doing now isn’t gating content and dividing communities.

The living story as we have seen is a far cry to the content an expansion would have had. In theory the LS works great. In practise they royally screwed it up.

Some living stories will have problems that will need to be addressed. But compared to other MMO’s there is much less gating content and dividing communities.

What if events reward karma and a chest?

Rewards would be good for the difficulty and level of the event.

Seems we will get a mini Mini Bloody Prince Thorn [&AgFkvgAA]

Ok thanks, so he is the Mad Kings brother.

Anyone want to know what this is now? The man in the image is looking up at something big and appears to be embracing it. Maybe there is Mad King cult?

It’s not possible to make content completely bug. People need to report bugs so Anet can try to fix it. With a better description of exactly what your party did to cause the bug.

There is no reason to be mad about a bug.

Pretty sure Seven Star Stalker.1740 was talking about the Permanent Self-Style Hair Kit (Permanent Hair Stylist Contract on the TP), which is free to use at your command after obtaining it.

It’s no longer obtainable and costs 2500g on tp.

Welp, the OP never said anything about price or availability.
Buy it once for your account (with 2500g worth of Gems I suppose) and now you can change your hairstyle at any time you want.

Also can I just say that “collecting hair” sounds kinda gross lol.

“Collecting hairstyles” you have put the word styles at the end of that.

But on your first point “now you can change your hairstyle at any time you want.” This is a game!

As for a “Permanent Self-Style Hair Kit”. I don’t think Anet would want us to save money.

Basic features should be free and this should be a basic feature! GW2 could be a fantasy based game to rival EVE online. If they was more customizable features like this.

Trait respec should be a basic feature out or combat or in all town, cities and selected areas in all zones.

Doing this will make the game much more tactical and appealing to more players. That may spend money on other items.

Anet is just limiting their game to a smaller player base. By not making the game more customizable.

The armor in this game could be a little bit skimpy and still be less skimpy then other MMO’s.

I don’t see a problem with the armor. Any skin not covered by a bikini is perfectly fine to expose on armor. Still waiting Anet, for the Southsun bikini underwear.

You ideas of what is nudity are considered extremist by many.

What if Tequatl not spawning is Anet trying to put a quick fix on the fight?

I don’t see how the convenience is worth the price for any boss fight or dungeon.

People on the forums have been asking for the option to save multiple builds. So they can change their build for free in selected areas throughout the game world. To one that they saved because they who it works.

Not a item that is changes your once for a expensive price. And then the player might make a mistake and waste their item.

The cheapest way wouldn’t discover most of the recipes.

Anet didn’t tell any of these players to wait for the Tequatl. There is the event assistant in the upper right corner.

But instead of using the event assistant. Some of you are joining huge guilds so you can wait 2 kill Tequatl in another server. Instead of doing some events or farming while waiting.

Mabe kicking AFK players after 10 min is the answer?

I would like more than one path, like in dungeons.

A private instance would ruin what makes the tower so much fun.

I cant agree with this. Even when I got the puzzle down to almost guaranteed success, my fail percentage when up tremendously whenever I couldn’t see myself for a major portion of the race. It got so bad people were actually griefing the puzzle making the largest characters they could and using items that made it incredibly hard to see the next jump. Your ability to win shouldn’t at all depend on horrible camera mechanics including the inability to see yourself because of others.

Scale everyone to the same size IMHO and no useable items or abilities. Or Let me run it alone.

I cant believe I still have this screen shot… It wasn’t fun is was just annoying.

With pets and potions, Anet learned their lesson and applied it to the Wintersday jumping puzzle.

Anet may have disabled pets and portion of this years version.

You may be a good commander. But why should anyone want to take advice from a bad commander? Who only bought the title.

Its dying because you said so? Got any facts to backup your claims?

I see plenty of ppl coming, plenty of overflows…And as KQ goes, you know when was last time i did her? Today.

There are plenty of screens of barren main server maps elsewhere in this forum. That has never happened with anything Anet has released in 8 years. This is a first.

To start, for every screenshot of an empty sparkfly with just Tequatl, there’s one of a full zone that fights him.

More players means more players taking screen shots.

Do you change your opinion if I post my 50ish Tequatl screenshots made during the last two weeks on my main server and various overflows, both from wins and losses? Or how many people need to post screenshots like that for it to count?

If you want to keep brushing it off maybe stop using anecdotal evidence like a few dozen people posting screenshots as any kind of proof for anything, because it proves nothing.

People are more likely to brag about their accomplishments.

If you want Raids ask for something like temples but harder. Dragons are for everyone!

That is why everyone can come and attend dragons. Or you meant to say dragon loot is for everyone to get without effort?

Guild are gusting to other servers. The small guild or solo player is lucky to find a organized zerg that can win.

Solo players and small guilds that end up on same map can put some effort and organize. Its entierly different issue that they want to just show up pew pew and loot. Are you actually complaining about that?

Most players will quit trying to kill Tequatl. That leaves only guild who attempt this event. Making this event like a guild raid.

Your guild is a exploit!

HellsPriest.6745:

1. It isn’t guild only content. A lot of servers that didn’t have organized guilds still beat it, they just decided rather than whining they would organize together and beat it.

2. There is so much content out there that is for people who want achievements, and don’t want/need the help of others. This is the first event since the game came out that requires teamwork. So if you don’t like it, feel free to ignore it and do other content.

3. This game IS called GUILD WARS 2… hence GUILD. So it isn’t surprising or wrong of ANET at all to do a piece of content that requires organization which could also be looked at as best to do WITH a GUILD.

4. This content doesn’t take all but 100 people to achieve. Most guilds have over 100 players, and if they band up on an overflow… etc., they can get it done quite easily. My guild fills 3 overflows full a day, and beats it back to back… so if we can, you can.

On 1. No scaling is limiting this content to only well organized guilds. Is your guild going advertise when they are fighting Tequatl to others? No they will not! And other guilds guest to other servers to fight Tequatl.

2. The story revolves around the dragons being a group effort for all players.

3. Guild Wars name mean guild. It has to do with the lore. But that does not mean players have to be it large guilds

4.That just not true at all! And large guilds do not want to compete over a server.

If you want Raids ask for something like temples but harder. Dragons are for everyone!
