I was wondering if you have plans to implement a function like most other forums where you can choose to block posts by frequent trolling members?
This place is pretty bad for that kind of thing, more than many other communities I have been a part of in fact, and they were made a lot more bearable by having an ignore button.
Maybe there already is one, and if there is please point me in the direction. If not, and you have no plans to implement this, I will continue to enjoy this amazing game and refrain from logging in here.
Thanks
Some people don’t like change, and refuse to accept that someone else vision doesn’t match theirs. This leads to refusal to accept things as they are, and just enjoy what is in front of them.
UPgrade to i5 and that should cope pretty well
Hi, as I was reading your post I kept thinking of Ranger. It’s the only class I have played as I’m fairly new to the game, and it seems to encompass most of what you want in a class. I was surprised no one mentioned this, so maybe that means they aren’t a good choice in the longrun?
To be honest, I think you would enjoy the game far more if you accept that your vision isn’t that of the devs. They want to make something different, and the way they do that is up to them. Wanting everything to change because it doesn’t make sense to you, or doesn’t fit in with your ideas of what is ‘right’, will only hurt your enjoyment of the game in the long run.
The only fact I see here is that no one actually knows anything for sure yet.
What with the amount of time and/or gold required to acquire Ascended armor, we’ll see quite the kittenstorm whenever they decide to raise the levelcap…
Hopefully, they won’t. But I know they didn’t eliminate that possibility >_>
Also, I can’t see why we couldn’t broaden up the trait system without a level cap increase.
With the community you have here, you will see a kittenstorm no matter what happens, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a worse forum in all my years of gaming!
I only bought the game a week ago, I was just finding my way around LA and now it will be gone. That place is a work of art, i’m surprised they would build it in such an articulate way and then destroy it, but good on them for not giving a kitten haha
If you don’t like to stack then don’t stack. Why do you want others to follow your restrictions?
#While this is the most obvious and humanistic response, it will be lost amongst the crowd who believe their way is the right way, and their way is the only way.
I also think anyone who can generalise someone as being a brainless idiot because they take part in something they deem inappropriate, is beyond the voice of reason.
There are simply too many threads here where people put the game down, and put others down for the way they play it. I’m new to GW2, I signed up to be a part of the community for a game I am really enjoying, but there isn’t much of a community here just people ripping into stuff, which although common on internet forums, seems more rife here than even somewhere like gamefaqs.
For the record, I enjoy zerging in the borderlands, it’s fun, it’s epic, I still die sometimes (YES, I’m not very skilled either) but the sense of doing something alongside so many people is pretty cool to me. However, I am not braindead, or stupid, or anything like a moron, so please don’t assume that just because I do something you don’t like, it makes me a cretin.
I don’t like what I see in this forum, and think I’ll choose to seek advice and talk about the game elsewhere. The next thing will be complaints that people are gathering in EoTM when they should be repairing a ballista.
It sounds like you don’t actually want GW2 at all, but rather some other game to be honest.
That’s not it, I just want this game to be the best it can be, add major ground sweeping content that will grow the game, this is what’s missing from MMO’s today IMO.
We have wayyyy to many MMO’s nowdays so game Dev are to afraid to do crazy stuff like they use back in the day, they fear of failure and the loss of money and that is understandable, but what MMO need to understand because we have way to many MMO’ today
You should try the secret world if you think that is true, those guys took a major risk by making a horror themed MMO and it is definitely one of the best I’ve played and I’ve spent a LOT of time with a LOT of MMOs’.
This is a great example of what people are saying
“The freeform quest design is the game’s greatest strength. Not just in terms of gameplay, but in how it brings players together. You don’t have to collect quests from NPCs and turn them in; they automatically trigger when you enter an area. They’re made up of multiple objectives across a specific area of the map, and each one you complete fills up a progress bar. The quest is complete when the bar is filled, and the reward is delivered straight to your mailbox.
Better still, you never feel lonely. If another player is in the middle of killing an enemy, you can help and it’ll count towards both of your progress bars. It’s this collaboration that makes Guild Wars 2 an incredibly social experience, even if you aren’t playing with friends. The large amount of players currently invading the game’s servers is not unusual for an MMO at launch; but seeing them all working together is. You won’t spend all your time in the game silently grinding through quests on your own; you’ll be doing them alongside massive groups of other players."
This is taken from one of a number of reviews saying the same thing.
The games main strength ultimately became it’s weakness
I don’t suppose there is anything they can really do to change this which inevitably means the game will have a short lifespan. I kind of regret buying this last week now, I watched the angry joe review (first one I ever watched of his) and everything on the video review looked amazing, however it seems everything on that video is now defunct and that is not the game everyone is playing now.
/shrug
It is like this in the vast majority of MMO’s unless you buy when first released, or are playing one with huge leveling grinds, which are short in number these days.
It’s not like this, because most other MMO games don’t rely on dynamic group events like this one, where there are no players to join in on them.
MMOs just can’t have that type of immersion.

I guess you haven’t played The Secret World?

No, this game is not worth a monthly fee from what I have seen so far.
As a new player I can honestly say this is disheartening. I really want to enjoy this game, however it seems like a lot of their design choices were aimed at people buying day one. I’m sure everything was immense fun when the game was released, and now it’s largely huge areas of map with hardly anyone in them. That wouldn’t be a problem, if they hadn’t designed the game around dynamic group events which are no fun on your own.
I hope they address some of these issues, I really enjoy MMO games, I played WoW for years and spend a lot of time playing The Secret World, and to me so far Guild Wars 2 is so far behind those games in so many respects I am finding I don’t want to log in at all. The thing is, the game world is gorgeous and I really like the design/artwork.
I’ve been to two of the major cities (not sure if there are more), and there seems nothing to do there apart from use them as a hub to get elsewhere through portals. It seems mad to me, they create these amazing, huge cities which are truly epic, and then put nothing to do in them. Almost feels like half a game sometimes?
I’m not trying to put the game down or say its rubbish etc, its just as a new player it seems to be lacking a hell of a lot
I agree, this has so many bad design choices, new players like myself are screwed
There is none, and I’m disappointed I joined a practically dead server, I looked into changing servers but there was a charge associated with that so I didn’t go into it any further. What is this guesting you mentioned and how do I do it?
From my limited experience as a new player, not many. Almost everywhere I go is empty. There are more npc’s in the two cities I visited than there were players. Don’t get me wrong, I’m enjoying the game and glad I bought it, but this is the quietest MMO I’ve ever played. The Secret World has been out around the same length of time and has a lot higher population at all times.
