Simple solution: chests only spawn during the time the Pact is regrouping (after killing Vinewrath)

Problems solved

I like this, I always bail after vinewrath, this would keep me in the zone for a while longer and loop me back to the next meta-event.

I have no idea what any of you all are talking about. Never seen anything in this game that’d be consider that bad. Every once in a while some idiot gets racist, but that’s just the internet. I see this thread all the time, “why are people being so mean?” “They should ban toxic players” even seen a few that try to come up with an automated report system that will mute people. All of this is ridiculous. If you want to chill out on the internet you’re going to have to deal with morons on the internet. It’s the same as running into a moron at a coffee shop that cusses obscenely loud, or berates someone. It might make you uncomfortable, but that’s life. The community on this game is miles ahead of any game I’ve seen. The one exception is SPVP but even that is incredibly tame comparably. Worse comes to worse, you can always ignore people.

I like this idea. Also might consider groups inside of groups, squads and stuff. That’d be awesome for guild play too.

I’d definitely go Mesmer. And I’d steal things… like, lots of things. I’d set up in a cave somewhere, be super secretive. I’d probably still be poor and antisocial. Come to think of it… I’d basically just be a pirate… Not sure about the race though. Pretty sure I wouldn’t fit in with most of em. I’d probably go human just cause I’d be nervous about my genitals if i chose one of the others. And can I live in Elona? I’d much rather live in Elona.

Grind is still grind

Photonman.6241

The big question is why numbers drop. I think that’s because people get bored by the game because of a number of things, but the grind / reward system being one of the bigger reasons for that.

You’re probably right. It’s not the lack of end game, or the boring pve, or the lackluster content updates. It’s probably the fact that people don’t get that BiS armor right away.

Idk about weapons… but guildhall stuff would be cool. Like everyone comes together and builds a wing of the hall. Or maybe have a room where rare weapons that guildies have collected could be displayed (purely cosmetically). Honestly if they don’t put something like that in I’m gonna be hugely disappointed. And if everything just costs gold that’d be lame too, needs to require work.

I kinda agree with the OP. They kinda screwed the people that have had the game for a while. They’re not gonna do anything about it, but I can see why people would think they should.

GW1 is freaking awesome! But don’t get it cause you like GW2… They’re nothing alike, like most people have said. Watch some gameplay videos. The biggest problem is that there aren’t a lot of players and it’s kinda hard to get by with just the AI. It’s possible, but kinda hard.

The male human and norn seem to be more facial expressions than new faces. Which is kinda cool. First one looks angry, second looks… sad I guess, and the third… well the third is bland as hell.

MMO’s were never meant for console, and that’s the harsh truth, many have tried… DC Universe, Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy… they all failed, why? because the console lacks the capacity to support large scale evolving MMOs like GW2

Lol, they didn’t fail cause they went console, they failed cause they weren’t very good games with a heavy P2P model. Also ESO still isn’t out for console…

WouldGW2 be more successful with HolyTrinity?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Photonman.6241

Photonman.6241

How exciting would the dungeons (let’s face it, that’s what we’re talking about) in any trinity game be if they were seeing continual play with no updates, no new rewards, no heroic modes or any other additions for 2.5 years, and no new dungeons on the horizon, either?

I honestly really like the dungeons in this game, with the different paths and great rewards it offers a lot of replay-ability, but the combat is stale the first run, much less the 50th.

Photonman.6241

I think its hilarious that almost universally people don’t what the holy trinity, and yet almost as universally people say the pve in this game is boring. Running nothing but zerk limits your builds way more than the holy trinity would. I find this frustrating. I don’t see why roles can’t be a thing in the game, even if it’s not holy trinity. Condi, bunker (not tank), control (things like fears). I don’t see why things like this can’t be built into the mechanics of a dungeon, instead of just “everyone has to do the exact same thing to survive the fight” which leads to people just wanting to run zerk to get it done faster. Maybe toss out optional bosses like Viscidus from Temple of Ahn’Qiraj in WoW. He required frost damage to beat him. One of the more unique bosses.

Edit: And combo fields! One of the most awesome feature in this game and almost no one uses it. kitten shame.

The level 80 stuff is only a grindfest if you grind a lot. I personally like the meta event in silverwastes for example. I treat it like a long complicated world boss, and just do it for fun.

The bonuses are pretty meh. But if you’re a die hard collector mini Rytlock is pretty awesome. You can still get the Mistfire Wolf in game pretty easy and I never see anyone using it anyway… Banker is useless since the bank is practically useless, you can always run to town if you have to. Influence is irrelevant, as are the pvp rank points.

I have no idea what disability you have, or how dedicated you are to gaming, but I knew an amputee who played and found a gaming mouse to really help. Means you pretty much only need one hand and can bind all the buttons to mouse buttons. I’ve got one of these, and I really love it.

PvP ftw. It’s super challenging and skill based. (Mostly) WvW is also super awesome, especially when you get into massive battles with siege weapons and counter attacks and stuff. The PvE side can get stale really easily, once you finish the map completion and have done all the dungeons a bunch of times it’s kinda meh. The only reason I really see to do it would be socially since it is an mmo after all. PvE has been known to be lacking in GW2 for a while, but the map completion and random events that crop up are really awesome, especially at the higher levels where they actually become challenging.

To be honest the easier change would be to increase the bleed caps based on enemy rank.

Give Veterans, Champions, etc different bleeds caps.
This would not change sPvP at all while fixing a lot for pve.

Shoe Choices

(and on another note, when are we getting an outfit that for females that is conservative without feeling like I’m wearing a potato? Some outfits and wardrobe pieces have volume but are revealing. Others are skin tight and revealing. Others are nicely conservative, but they’re so boring…)

Excellent point right there. There’s only really two choices atm, skimpy as all hell and conservative bleh. Come on Anet, you can do better than that.

For those of you that don’t know Vera was a hammer from the first game that was an easter egg for Firefly, Jayne Cobb called his gun Vera. I flipped the hell out when I found out about this, and farmed like I’ve never farmed before. It’s my very favorite hammer…

Confessions

I was once in a pvp group of all asura and one norn. I started making fun of the nor saying things like “look at this ugly thing, with it’s giant legs and tiny head.” Another asura on our team immediately starting calling her a tranny. Nothing me or my teammates could say would get him to stop and it was highly offensive. I fell so bad for having started it…

And if they did people could simply claim that they lied.

It is also rather unlikely that they would tell us anything about their account-security system.

They’ve been pretty straight up until now, and honestly a lie would still make me feel better. They’ve already told us a ton about their security system, and telling us they’re salting passwords doesn’t really compromise security.
