Never, dungeons in GW were fun, that’s why Zaishen dailies worked and why I loved getting pm’s from randoms for help. There’s a reason poople farm world bosses in GW2….drumroll….for the same biased rng.
From what I gather it seems spokespeople are being chosen which means in true ANet style Lordkrall and Vayne have already been picked but Anet will make a big show for Xmas of pretending!
Anyone else remember doing dailies in GW and having fun unlike the dailies/monthlies in GW2 where you wash dishes?
I looked forward to dungeons, missions. Do I do that with GW2, nope.
One minute it’s Fractal crowd, the next it’s morons who need the dredge heart removed from Wayfarer foothills
Anet I’m officially calling you morons for removal of that heart since the vista remains and players have to go into the cave anyway (Dredge, Wayfarer). Your argument why it was is most welcome.
Person who’s name sounds like Fisting Chocks has made up home in the Anet camp I fear and be kitten ed whatever any complaints may be……….SHE WANTS MONEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYY!
“Mature audience” nope, Anet are such an advanced species and us humble monkeys are just lucky enough to have found keyboards to bash at our zoo. The fish at aquarium stupid and have short memories so Anet cater for them.
I wonder what the player penalty will be if they allow this. Every time Anet add something the players want they seem to have to justify it by adding something horrendous.
Uninstalled again, lasted 1 day this time, it’s like that Outer Limits (probably Twilight Zone rip-off) where the guy lives the same day and it keeps getting shorter.
Dear Anet junk message folder, the Traits and the NPE have killed your game for me.
Pointless thread unless you want a gem race. Call me a negative Nancy but imho 300 staff at Anet are simply justifying their jobs by rearranging the furniture.
If the miracle happened it would have to be a tailless, carbon copy of a human to not clip. Otherwise that means, work! Can’t have that.
1. Option to Auto trash ascended materials. So tired of having to drag drop that crap after every world boss farm, JP chest yadda yadda. At least make it Merchable for 1 copper per stack. Without a stack the merchant just takes it with your junk, pays you no money and makes you happier.
Never noticed the issue in Skyrim myself but then again I go into 1st person view most of the time. In GW2 I don’t wear a lot of thing because of the baldness factor. There is a shaved head hairstyle (stubbley) that would be better than the chrome dome look and wouldn’t clip.
Walking down a slight slope on a mountain regularly takes about 20k
Hp’s from me. I suppose if I jumped from those demon slopes the damage would be in the millions.
The Asura were too busy creating an 8 bit goofy world you teleport into to play around in instead of worrying about creating communication devices during the times of a dragon/zombie threat.
There was a person on Straits of Devastation begging for 3 silver in map chat for ages the other day. That’s a different kind of wow though :P
First wow was probably seeing the Swamp Behemoth for the first time back in the day. Thought I was Rambo and ran in to save all those players and died almost instantly doing 0 damage. Good times.
In a away, this trait system has same kind of premise that those ’’F2P’’ generic Korean MMO’s where you can play totally free but if you want to use most powerful skills buy it with credit card or do something very tedious.
Yeah that’s the problem now :/ it feels so grindy. Level 36 to 80 is just a giant grind with nothing fun because of the lack of traits. Hell even with the traits unlocked the new trait system still feels like a giant grind since you’re only earning one every 6 levels. The old system was great.
I have a couple of low level toons that I bought slots for. I can skin them (and have done on my guardian noob, he’s level 20 with T3 cultural lol) I just can’t bring myself to play him. Even on my older toons it seems every day I’m finding something else removed from the game for no reason other than Anet’s desire to tell us how smart they are by dumbing everything down to finger painting levels?
Wandered away a month or so ago, just came back to unlock the story chapter and see if they’d even bothered to reply to the thread.
All I’m asking, after months of trying to get a response is this: Are there changes on the development schedule, or are you just waiting for the storm to die down?
I have to tell ya, I miss Guild Wars, but I’m an altoholic, and I cannot, simply cannot face doing this absurd song and dance to trait another character. And i realize that my little gem card a month is a pittance in the grand scheme, but I cannot be the only old-timer who has stopped playing and stopped buying gem cards.
I just want to know if there’s any chance at all that you’re going to do something so that customers who bought character slots aren’t faced with these Sisyphean tasks over and over and over again.
Because it’s just breaking my heart that I can’t experience this gorgeous game the way I want to experience it, but instead must follow someone else’s plan for my play time. And I’d just as soon not play your way, but would like to go back to the game’s ideal state of being able to play my way.
Colin did say they were working on something for altoholics…but that’s all that was said.
Colin also said they were working on “Streamlining” the intrusive UI months ago, I would take it all with a liberal pinch of sea salt.
Would never happen. It would require work and more skills. If it ever did you would have an offset clipfest with 3 versions of antitoxin spray as your skills.
I envy the ones who still have fun, really do. GG.
Why? There’s nothing wrong with you not having fun. It’s not really a big deal.
There is when GW2 tries to be jack of all trades but master of none.
No, there’s not. If the guy isn’t having fun then he’s not having fun. Its not compulsory. Plenty of people still are, plenty of people aren’t, plenty of people in degrees in between. It’s not really a big deal, its just a “thing”.
Sorry I edited my post, would have told you sooner but Daddy (Anet) changed how often I’m allowed to post.
I’m just curious when Anet said they couldn’t be bothered to read the entire thread, did anyone reply with a summary of “Just change it back to how it was and have additional desirable periodical traits added that you gain from sitting, begging, rolling over or whatever”? And not tied to the LS.
I still can’t fathom the NPE changes though (ramble)…Stay on target Paul. This is the traits thread.
All these people telling us how good they are at the game, maybe I read a different post or the OP edited it but I don’t remember them saying it was too difficult. They said they were fed up with it as am I. I roll my eyes when I get pinballed about or chain knockdowned on my Necro. There are other ways to make things difficult other than turning the player into a spectator but that’s not my job to come up with these things.
I must have missed the paycheck from ANet for the new job I’ve been assigned of improving the game. I mean, we all, as players, got hired for this new position, right? What other reason could there be for people trying to foist that responsibility on the players when it rightly should lay with the developers?
Every time I get served bad food in a restaurant I go into the kitchens and do the chefs job for the rest of the week without pay. You’re just being selfish!
I agree with options to remove HUD elements, I prefer a minimalist look and even in a game that rhymes with Pie Him I used an immersive HUD mod that eliminated everything until you were in combat or aiming, full screen glorious galore when exploring.
There is (or at least used to be) a mod for this game that removed all of the clutter including even the ripped border effect, the looooooong xp bar, PS at the top right etc. etc. Thing is I was unsure if it would result in a ban so stopped using it. If I remember it’s part of the immersive combat mod which I see some people are asking in another thread for to be officially added to GW2 (which it won’t be). Apparently it was added to Wildstar.
When the HoM stuff gets sold in the cash shop, then we’ll talk lol. Emphasis on when.
Those were only achievable by dedication, better than what we have now where some rich person can buy keys or gold to unlock prestige pony bows that irk many players.
So much disappointment, really.. why limit the exchange rate to 400 gems? just what happened to you GW2?, every single time an update arrives, there’s always a reason to feel either sad or angry because of poor made decisions like these. It’s going to be a sad halloween and I don’t even want to imagine what’s coming next.. Pay2Win model at full force? labor points? -_-
The final portion of the VIP system appeared in the data files with this patch. The next feature patch will almost certainly contain the P2W VIP system that is currently in china.
We have been slowly moving this way for a long time now. Once the game started to decline they shifted more and more resources into pumping the game for cash. It is almost in full cash cow mode now. The actual content gets fewer and farther apart, but gem store gets faster and more “inclusive” and eventually you need to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars to keep up.
I will hand it to Anet, they did it slow enough that anyone who pointed out the change was charged with “slippery slope” or “straw man” fallacies, and shouted down.
With the NPE and the gem changes they are finally in the home stretch. Once we get VIP the path to the dark side will be complete.
a few months ago I would of thought this a silly post, but now I agree
It’s working as intended. There’s no way it’s a bug.
How is it no way it’s a bug? It is fully possible that it could be missing a part of the trading and so on.
I am not saying that it must be a bug, but it is quite silly that the forums explode every single time something is changed without even thinking about if it is actually working as intended or not.
Anet playing too fast and loose with the bug excuse lately, how many more times?
Either A. They are ultra incompetent
or B. They don’t give an eff, just give us yo kitten money!
The way Ascended gear was implemented planned the funeral. April megafailpatch dug the hole. Anet not giving a half a kitten about our concerns made the coffin. The ridiculous, mindless changes to the storyline hammered the lid shut.
I stick around in the vain hope that there are some signs of life before they start shovelling in the soil.
Pretty strong on the hyperbole. The game still seems to have a lot of people, even if it’s not the same people, or it’s some returning people.
You don’t like the changes or the game, so Anet is burying it. The game is alive and well. There’s absolutely no evidence anyone has put forward to the contrary besides the annecdotal evidence of my friend, my guild etc.
I still don’t understand hyperbole, afaik that was the guys opinion? So are Anet’s hype hyperbole too or worse since they may contain lies?
Played GW and got 50/50 in my HoM, how could I not? Why I played GW in the first place is more stupid/pathetic.
I played games like Flyff etc. for ages because they were “Free” and when searching for mmo’s I kept seeing GW and thought “Hey if other games are free why aren’t you?” so stuck playing my free mmo’s, all the while constantly forking out cash for minipet of the month etc. At least the game was free, right? :S
After I came to my senses and bought GW (Eotn/Prophecies pack). I bought Factions that Christmas season and Nightfall CE was on sale at the shop my bro. worked in at the time.
One hit kills and more hp’s are the best you can hope for, I for one am sick of this in games. Just let them leave it alone. I don’t want another UVHM (Borderlands 2) where I am funnelled into ever decreasing viable options.
It strikes me as that place where your dad knows he’s lost but keeps driving ahead. This is Anet.
I recently re-installed and the TP was removed from Queensdale, uhm, why? Probably because the new TP layout is rubbish. Why is selling to bids the auto choice? This will lose new players money because they’ll assume that the game has their interests at heart.
Eg. New player get’s an exotic, bid of 1 copper is there…gratz new player you just lost a ton of gold.
Maybe I’m wrong but if I am it means the new TP is more confusing than the old one. You see my point? Lose lose, WD Anet, WD. Slow clap.
