i wonder if the guild MERC is going to desert Blackgate the same way they deserted Sea of Sorrows when their server started to struggle a little bit in WvW
Nice try, but Blackgate has been in worse state than this. MERC has become part of the core members of the Blackgate community and leadership.
Don’t get excited.
It’s become the only core members of the Blackgate community. When I was on Blackgate none of these guilds were there, not even MERC. I left in January.
Shout out to JQ. Nice to see you guys coming out in complete full force this week. I must admit, I thought that server was going to be a deserted wasteland.
If i play GW2, i miss the instanced areas – Many players gripped about GW1 being highly/all instanced based. It’s a much better game having a dynamic world where you can interact with everyone. One of the big issues I had with GW1 was that it felt like a single player game online.
i miss that i only needed 20 levels – The trait system in GW1 worked with only 20 levels. The trait system in GW2 works well with 80. It also gives players more time to improve their character while progressing in the story, unlike GW1 in which you were the max level after the tutorial.
I miss the teamwork – Heroes weren’t team players. Olias was like that guy in your party that you only want to take when the Daily Healer was available.
I miss the drop system, the way how you get good looking items – The amount of RNG in GW2 is horrible. It wasn’t much better in GW1. Although GW1 had much better skins, and much less childish items.
. I miss how PvP was. Balthazar points – Glory?
the huge deck of skills – Balancing issues
. & omg! The dual professions – Worked in GW1 until there were, well, more skills. Then it became unbalanced and everyone was running around with meta builds.
GvG – This I’d agree with. Although it’s suppose to be coming soon
GH !!! – Same as above
Alliances!!! – This I do miss
The dual representing in GW2 is worthless since nearly all guilds have 100% rep requirements. Alliances bypassed that. Guilds don’t like merging, but with Alliances, you can merge without actually having to. I’d love to see Alliances back in GW2, and hopefully they come with the Cantha campaign (even though the Luxons and Kurzicks have been wiped out, but who knows, maybe there will be a revolution).
Hi there. Let me tell you a quick story.
I have 1700 hours played on my account. I have every class at level 80, fully geared. I have completed every single daily, even before laurels were introduced, until recently in which I went camping for 2 days. Other than those 2 days, I’ve completed every single daily.
I have 6,700+ Achievement points, which I don’t even go for. I have over 500 skill points on my main (until I recently spent them trying to get clovers). I’ve done every dungeon, done fractals many times, have WvW’d many times, and have done nearly everything challenging this game has to offer. I’ve fought the risks. I have no rewards to prove for it besides armor sets from Arah.
A few weeks ago, a guy joined our guild by knowing another member. He took 5 months off from the game. The third day after he came back, we decided to do a lvl 8 fractal. His personal reward level was level 1 (another member needed
.
We get the Grawl fractal, and successfully complete the bonus chest. All of us but one forgot there was a bonus chest, but that one reminded us, so we ran back to get it. I mention “I don’t even know why I bother, I never get anything good but clogged inventory from this chest”. I open it, and of course, only blues appear. We continue with one member staying behind, who says “Oh I got an exotic”. We say nice. He links it.
It’s a Dusk.
He had absolutely no idea what it was worth and that it was even a precursor.
When he linked it, we said “haha funny joke let’s move on”. He wasn’t kidding. He sold it on the TP and instantly became richer than everyone else that’s been working on obtaining a legendary in our guild.
I recently decided I should go for one. For the past 3 weeks I’ve done all world bosses every day. I’ve farmed Orr, Fractals, and other dungeons. I’ve been farming Dragon Coffers until the TP became flooded with them. I’ve worked my butt off so much trying to obtain the money that I’ve actually been more happy to go to work than to log into Guild Wars 2 to obtain this legendary.
I’m not asking for a free percursor, but one thing is simple – RNG has got to go, as it is ruining this game. There is hardly any risk in this game, but it’s pathetic how someone can become INSTANTLY rich by doing nothing, where as people, like me, who have horrible luck, have to work incredibly hard to obtain such currency.
I understand this has been brought up before, but it’s seriously detrimental to the game and is encouraging hardcore players (BTW, I played GW1 since launch and waited as patiently as can be for this game to launch) to quit until this is fixed. I don’t plan on quitting GW2, but if RNG continues to be the main way of obtaining items in this game, I’m not interested in playing as long as I’ve hoped to play for.
I’ve heard rumors that there will be other ways to obtain legendaries in the future, but even besides legendaries, there is far too much RNG in this game to keep me playing for years to come.
Please fix this immediately.
