Guild Wars 2

I completely agree with you, is it really necessary for a tradeable item to be inside a craftable item, inside a bag, inside a chest? Anet must own stock in companys that make mice. My mouse clicking finger is exhausted.

I had this problem yesterday also. waited in the circle as I capped the camp expecting it to finish my daily camp capture achievment, but nothing happend, no reward from the camp, and no credit towards daily.

I think, instead of attacking the OP, we could turn this into a productive thread and discussion.

There is value in a thread like this one, if people respond with well thought out responses rather than emotion-driven criticism of the poster.

[ no trolls beyond this point]

What in my post, are you theatened by?

I am not threatened by anything in your post. I don’t place any importance on it at all(it’s a slow day and I am bored)……but this comment…..

“but I promise you, there will be another to take its place, until anet does something extraordinary.”

Grrrr……“I promise you!!!”…….“until anet does something extraordinary!!”………lol…..seriously? That is what comes off as some sort of silly, empty threat……..lol……..And what will you do if Anet does nothing extraordinary?…….lol

Some people have the foresight to predict the future based on what they have seen in the past. The statement that I responded to makes reference to the continuation of posts of the topic we are discussing. I was not promising that I would make another post on this topic. I was merely pointing out that someone will, because until anet makes a change, there will always be someone coming here with that hope. If you are threatened by this I apologize.

Oh man, that’s rich. When people disagree with you, or make fun of how many times this sort of thread has popped up on these forums……you threaten posters and Anet.

I am sure they are very, very concerned………maybe you could turn it into some sort of grassroots protest………hey, here’s an idea!…..boycott the game!!!! Yea, that will get them all!!!!…………….yawn.

What in my post, are you theatened by?

Reanne.5462:

Whether you agree or not, the number one complaint against this game is the lack of “playable content”.

First you say this, implying that your opinion is fact with a statement such as “the number one complaint”……..so, how do you know that? Besides the fraction of a percentage of the players that post here? What is your basis for that statement?

And then you say this in the very same post……….

Reanne.5462:

I am pointing out for many people this game needs to offer more viable content, and less window dressing.

So, now it has gone from the “number one complaint” to “for many people”……so which is it?

When I speak, I speak from my own opinion based on what I have seen, Only anet has the statistics of how many posts have been requesting new content. As far as my wording. Any complaint that is considered to be the top complaint would encompass many people.

Well OP, now you’ve done the complaining part I expect you to follow up with the rage-quit, we won’t take you seriously unless you do…

You should read the first thread that I posted to on this forum.

Dont transfer to Crystal Desert, all they want to do is karma train and blob around the maps. Come to HOD we have loyal guilds here that enjoy wvw, and don’t jump ship everytime the rankings change.

lol thats pretty funny coming from HoD. You guys have to blob to handle ONE of our guild groups consisting of less than 20 players. I completed twilight this reset because of you guys though. Keep bringing those loot bags to me

ya, we play for fun, you play to camp our spawns and get loot bags, doesnt take much to see the difference in the culture of our two servers.

Whether you agree or not, the number one complaint against this game is the lack of “playable content”. Sure there is plenty of dialog, and story (albeit fragmented and inconsistent) and it is pretty. It is a world you can enter into to escape for a little while. The number of people posting I quit threads, and ‘suggestion’ threads are all trying to ensure this beautiful world that they enjoy maintains its meaningfulness.

I am not asking you to agree with me, I am pointing out for many people this game needs to offer more viable content, and less window dressing.

lol… Vayne
being in top form after holidays ????

This is exactly why people think you are someone from A-Net.
Someone comes with a legit request or opinion and it will be drowned in semantics.

Despite speaking 5 languages i have to admit that english isn’t my native tongue.
But i still catch the OP’s message that he is not happy with LS 1 and 2 and asks that if someone else is interested in a 3rd part if it includes the same dull and weak stuff.

How difficult can it be ?

Actually this topic can be closed right now because all of us know where this will lead.
The future discussions will be like………

What do you actually mean by LS2…… do you mean the actual LS2 or the 2nd chapter of LS2. Or even the 2nd LS after LS1 or after LS2 what would be LS4….. all this has to be cleared out before we even continue talking about game content.

After 83 pages the “A-Net Tag” comes in:

Dear Op we totally understand your desire of new and fresh content.
I just came out of a meeting and and got a hint that we add 3 trees to the swamp in Queensdale and removed 5 ambients.
Our graphics team also replaced the dye “Teal” with “Apple Green”.
We are totally excited about these ground breaking news and also want to point out
that it wouldn’t be possible without all your players input….

OP: ………. wait what ?? I was asking for content………..

White Knights: We totally told you… all this waiting was worth it. We always told you something big is brewing.

Trolls: LOL…….. this is insulting.

OP: but.. but … but…… all this was not my issue i just wanted to play more GW2

White Knights: This is exactly what you have been asking for

too bad there isnt a search feature so this question didnt have to be reposted. Seems like it could have been easily found if this were a ‘real’ forum.

I don’t recall ever seeing this legendary,
admittedly I can not play the expected 24hrs a day in this zone that anet expects. But it still would be nice to get this achievement completed. I am hardly a casual player at over 17k ap and in since beta.

If this isnt’ a bug, they need to increase the spawn rate of this legendary, cmon anet I need your help to beat tandin to 18k

NO, i do not want a LS3, what I want is for them to make the big open world that already exists to have playable content. This world has died. it is not living, and adding gimmicky zones with different mechanics for each zone, does not a living world make.

I agree with the OP 100%, Anet needs to take a step back, pull there heads out of the corporate machine, and listen to thier customer base.
The Developers are not wearing any clothes. and they need to listen to those of us shouting and cover themselves. 10 people saying ‘Fix the bugs’ and 1 person saying " everything is glamorous"… you really ought to listen to the people saying what you don’t want to hear. Fix the bugs.
Fix the dead zones in PVE where no one bothers to go, make the game a living breathing world in reality. not because you say so. MAKE stuff move around. Im tired of chopping down trees that have names like Jungle Wurm, and Tequatl, and Shadow Behemoth.

I was going to post a bug about not being able to interact with vorpp in the Meeting the Asura LS. but why bother its just a waste of time, and it won’t help me get through it.

I don’t know what you mean

Every now and then, when I am bored with the game, or stuck at work (as I am now) I read through the forums, and I see people making suggestions. Other than the colored commander tags, which I think exploded more on Reddit than it did here. Can anyone tell me of anything that the Devs changed in the Game because it was asked for on these forums?

Pretty Pixie.8603:

Skeletor.9360:

Well still have no heard any official word why Anet thinks there is justification for my money to switch because of thier failure….I am waiting.

I wonder why you failed to put in the effort to find a server more suitable to your needs?

Servers ebb and flow, how can you predict which one serves your needs? Ive been on HOD from day one, where we were unbeatable, until the wvw guild. decided to implode. My guild started out with no interest in wvw, and has now grown to be a recognized player on reset night. But HOD matchups have still given me reason to wish I was being matched against better suited servers. I won’t leave this server, but I still think people should not have to pay to find a better gaming experience.

I think they should ditch the multiguild idea altoghether and go back to alliances, with alliance chat, Not being able to interact with your likeminded guilds was a dumb idea to begin with. creating fragmented loyalties.

and if you have 4 guild banks, you are a hoarder and should seek help. :P

We do guild missions, and someone links the waypoint the guild is going to, but I have to switch charactors because I don’t have that waypoint, but then I lose everthing in the chat, and have to ask the guild to re-ping the waypoint,
Or how about a clickable link in chat or the ability to cut and paste the text?

What if your guild would like new members to visit your guild webpage. It would be so much more seamless if they could just click the link. or cut and paste it into thier browser.

Why is the “Search” box even on this forum? I know the web admins are aware it does not work. So why don’t they just remove it?

Not only does it not work, it is a big reminder everytime I come to the forums that anet is not interested in fixing what the player base asks them to fix, but just goes on with business as usual.

Feel free to read the rest of the forum to see everything else they are ignoring.

What they fail to realize is if they fixed the Search function, the number of repeat posts would go down considerably. Which would give them 1000’s of redundant threads less to read through. If they do realize this then…. wth.

I dare someone to tell me I should have posted this in another thread describing the broken Search function.

This has got to be the biggest, most viewed topic without a response from a dev…

Whatever the new dailys are, they are way too easy to complete to recieve the 10 ap points. Play how you want has turned into why bother playing at all. just show up.

1. Its pretty
2. Its cheap
3. its easy

make up your own jokes here.

I sold ecto to a merch in gw1 because I thought its value was the value written in the tool tip. until I accidently found out how much of a noob i was. reading the tool tips doesnt always help.

well crap, I tried to post this to other place, but double posting is against the rules , You’re just going to have to live with my thought off floating by themselves. And Matisse, im not sure if you’re refering to me, or to a response, but I am posting in the hope that maybe the devs will take a 10 year veterans opinions into consideration. not trying to degrade the game, I want it better.

Back to the point. We shouldnt have to pay to switch to another server to have the gaming experience that we expected. Not having the same experiece as others I can understand. but we shouldnt have to pay to move.

ok I will take your advice

edit: That takes too much work, Maybe if this forum had a SEARCH that worked! I would beable to post my views to like minded topics.

Wanze.8410:

For the most points you mentioned, a thread already exists, so i would advice you to take your discussion over there.

So I should take my points and bury them in other topics, instead of creating a consolidated place to make my point. I did not post this so I could be easily ignored. I posted it so that people could respond with something contructive.

1. Too much clicking: Salvageable item, within a bag, within a box, within a chest. I spend too much time sorting and organizing and selling and destroying items in my inventory. Why is there so much crap that has no value, no use and no relevance to the game, other than to be thrown away, or sold to merchant for a miniscule amount of coin?

2. Content that requires being online at a specific time. (I know I probably have to suck this one up and take it) Accomplishment is based on being on the right map, with the right people at the right time, not on skill or ability. World bosses like Tequatl, Silverwastes legendries. I would love the challenge of this content, but I cannot change my work/school schedule around the games schedule. I know the game is designed to have us play 24 hours a day, but I just can’t do that anymore. What would this game be without Dulfy, or TTS? These two entities should be replaced by something created by the developers of the game.

3. Zergs – sometimes it’s nice to turn off my brain, hit 1 and collect loot, but there are times I wish I could use my skill to take down an objective. Bosses that require a zerg to defeat them should involve some sort of coordination by the zerg, not just hitting skill 1 repeatedly. Why don’t world bosses move? Zergs in WvW are annoying also. There has got to be a way to make WvW more tactical based and less swarm based.

4. Nothing in open PVE can kill you. Where is the challenging individual content? Killing a foe on my own takes no more effort that hitting 1, and allowing auto attack to finish the objective off. Are there any challenging enemies other than those that are so overpowered as to ‘one shot’ me, and usually have a zerg attacking them? Unless you stand there with your thumb up your butt, a foe doesn’t do enough damage to hurt you, they may as well be ambient (Go outside LA in GW1 and stand for 3 seconds next to a Titan in normal mode. You’ll see what I mean.)

5. Pre-cursors Hey I won the lottery! So now I can sell it and have more coin than I need to buy what? Another precursor? I’ve gotten a few, which is why I have more coin than I know what to do with, which is why I would love something to do in this game that is challenging and takes skill, not zerg or ‘auto attack’. (RNG I’ve gotten 10, you’ve gotten none – sux to be you. Maybe not, at least you still have something to desire)

6. Traits We need 2 or 3 times the number of traits we currently have, and a way to easily switch between setups depending on the battle we are facing. More traits equal more fun. I wouldn’t mind working through content to acquire traits that are different than the ones I have already gotten multiple times on various characters. Any new characters I make are just going to have to live with limited traits. I am not buying or replaying every kitten thing in this game again just to play an Engineer, or Mesmer.

7. Underwater fighting WTB depth perception , more useful skills, more interesting fights, more reason to go in the water in the first place.

8. Too much dialog in living/personal story: If I wanted to read, I would buy a book – cut scenes needs to be able to be skipped at least after the first time thru.

9. The new daily system: Why am I doing these again? What am I achieving? View a vista and gain some XP, I’m level 80, I got experience from doing this the first time through. If you want me to do them again, why not just make them repeatable? Do 3 tasks get 10 achievement points, okie dokie that’s less time consuming then before, even less of an achievement, for the same amount of points. Why bother doing any after completing 3? There is no reward from them that I can’t get from doing something more fun. Where is the variety? The dailies seem to be on a 2 day rotation of the same things.

10. No Guild Halls, nor sense of guild unity. Guild Missions were a step in the right direction, but we need more. We need more stuff allowing us to play together, not just stand next to each other soloing a target. Stupid megaservers destroyed our culture. You removed our borders, and left us as a nationality without a nation. There are times before a guild event we gather together for announcements and acclamations’, and after a major undertaking we need a place to call our own. I would love a centralized place to organize the crap in my inventory (see point #1)

Does anet just want me to suck it up, and wait?
Does anet want me to switch servers?
Does anet want me to quit playing?

What the hell are you guys doing? Are you going to fix wvw or not?
These unbalanced matchups have to stop! Can I at least get a dev to tell me I have a reason to believe that wvw will be fun again? That this game will be fun…

I have been playing gw for 10 years, and this is the first time I have felt this level of hopelessness. There have been periods where I got burnt out, but this is not burn out, this is terrible game play. I mean I hated factions, but at least I could play other content to keep me busy while I waited for nightfall to come out. All of the content in this so call open world is too boring to repeat, there is no reward in repeating it.

I joined a wvw specific guild, and for a month we had open field battles and I was re-invigorated into the game. But then the unbalanced matchups started occurring EVERY SINGLE WEEK! and the wvw guild fell apart, and eventually disbanded.
I am not having fun anymore.

Gaile Gray, I have some nostalgia from hearing your name, I equate you to gw1 and the fun times I had at your going away party/event. Please tell me I have a reason to keep playing this game. CD should not be matched up with HOD and BP

Bringing the thread back to my point. Once again, the matchup is crap.

echo.2053:

What do you notice in the income evolution? one server peaks generally at the same time, then few hours later another one takes over and so forth. we have coverage gaps like this because people want to play with other players in the same time zone, no one wants to be out when they are severely outnumbered.

Keeping these gaps in mind how would the scoring be tallied up? If it required all 3 servers to be on at the same time then that would really be the point where the 1st 4 hours would decide the week since there isnt many times where any 3 servers are on at the same time. If only 2 servers need to be on to advance the score… whats to stop them from just trading captures?

If one server has the ability to maintain coverage over a 18 hour period, and their opponent only has a player base that plays 6 hours a day. that is different than 3 equal servers just playing at different times.

I am not saying all three have to always be on at the same time, My suggestion was to get rid of the tick. so that points are scored by taking objectives, not by the amount of time you hold an objective. A server with more people is still going to have an advantage, they just won’t be racking up points while the other server is asleep., As and example, DR controls their whole BL, they received points when they acquired each of the towers, camps etc. on the map. but if there isn’t a server trying to take those points, they won’t increase their score. But. if they do successfully defend one of those areas when another server tries to take it, they could get points, which would increase their score. Its still not perfect, but I think it would discourage zerging, and would keep matches closer in point totals.

echo.2053:

Outside maybe T1, is there actually a time where any 3 servers are on at the same time outside the first 4 hours of reset? Or should a weeklong match be decided by those 4 hours because at any given time, 1 of the servers is asleep?

3 people can take a tower, the week wouldn’t be decided by the first four hours on reset, there are always people playing, they just are not noticeable because one of the servers will always have more coverage.
If a three person team takes a tower the way things are now, they will most likely not increase their servers score, because it will immediately be flipped back by the server with the most coverage. If that 3 person team received points/recognition that they took an objective IMO it would better represent their effort and successful captures.

Less of an all or nothing approach to scoring.

nirvana.8245:

Go play EOTM. Matchups are different every week with different players, guilds, commanders etc etc.

I have no idea what you’re talking about, EOTM is exactly the same no matter the week, either you have a zerg, karma farming, or you don’t. No more fun in EOTM then there was doing the Queensdale champ train.

Katahdin.8714:

How would you propose to make it better?
Any other match up would be worse if your server is at the bottom of the tiers.
People are not going to transfer to low tier servers, at least not enough to make a difference.

I hate to say it but currently there are only 2 potential solutions:

1) ANET merge lower tier servers and make all those server residents mad

2) People on those servers that want to play WvW transfer to servers with better WvW game play.

To be honest, with mega servers, it really doesnt matter what server you are on for PvE. There is no longer any identity in PvE because we are all one big community now.

I think one thing that needs to be done is to remove the Tick. Why should a server gain points while the other one is sleeping? Is that how you win a war?
“U.S. Forces are holding a town in Iraq, the Taliban is just hanging out in their caves sleeping, But since we are occupying that town, we’re somehow winning the war?”

There should be a scoring system based on taking objectives, not taking an objective, and gaining points because there is no one around to take it back.

example:
DR takes a tower = 35pts, HOD takes that tower back = 35 pts, DR successfully defends that tower = 60 pts. There could be variations in the scoring where if you defend the same tower twice w/o it being taken, you get bonus points.
They already have the “defend the tower” event system in place.

Changing servers because your server has a low population, is not a solution to unfair matchup problem. That just highlights the idea that it doesn’t matter who wins, as long as “I” am on the server that wins. But we can’t all be on the server that wins. I am not complaining that our server loses, I am kittened off that we lose by twice our score, as well as the other server losing by twice their score also.
If I can go in, and have fun, with a chance that this week we will come out on top, because of better game play. Not because we had more people online.

I am seriously tired of every Friday having the hope that the server matchups will be close enough to be fun. And as the reset occurs, Once again, there is 1 server that has twice the population as the other 2 servers, and will dominate the week doubling the scores of the other 2 servers. They zerg around, karma farming, they don’t have to bother with skills, they just steam roll the 20 man groups that are trying so hard to cap one objective. THIS IS NOT FUN!

How many gems would you pay for…

Access to a restricted instance of Super Adventure Box?

Personally, I hated SAB. I am curious if anet could make some money off of you people by selling access to it with gems.

I apologize to the moderators for making their jobs harder – I know you have enough trouble organizing all the trolls into some sort of sensical coherency. This will be my last post on the forum. (unless 5 years from now I forget I posted this, I am getting old)

@goldenwing, I own 2 copies :P and have been playing since beta – But I love hearing the positive and negative responses from the people who live on these forums, the personal attacks, the demeaning responses and the blind loyalty are awesome.
The one or two honest replies are worth it, but I wonder if those people will still feel the same way 6 months from now, if they won’t feel a little silly reading what they wrote.

I would like to thank you all for your constructive responses to my question, I have determined from them that there are 2 types of people who play this game, Those who have nothing better to do ( no plans to better themselves as individuals) and those who are addicted to it and will defend it no matter how unfulfilling it is.

feel free to debate which one I am

does killing stuff in this game feel rewarding?, will it be time well spent?

Convince me I want to own this game, why would I spend any amount of time of my day with this game?

No. Seriously. Who Cares?

I hope you didn’t expect me to read all the posts in this thread before I posted did you?

Since the free transfer, and the exodus from Lions Arch, Gendarann has taken forever and a day to load up when I log in, or map there.

Is this what we have to look forward to from the MegaServers? every zone will take 15 minutes to load and the simplest graphics settings? There are times when I only have 15 minutes to play in the morning before I go to work, but if that time is going to be spent at a loading screen, I am not going to bother with this game anymore.

I go to vigil keep, and go into overflow because so many people are standing around chatting near the forge, or waiting in queue to get into wvw.

I decide I am going to go seek out events in the world map, I go from one to the next and I see nobody. Every now and then I will run into one other person, but they aren’t doing the event, they are just running through.

I think to myself maybe people just aren’t doing the events because there is not a worthwhile reward to doing them?

And now I hear, Anet is removing what little gold there was as a reward for doing events, And that They Think It Will Help Spread People Around???

What the hell guys. some of us actually want to play this game, not stand around being a day trader on the Tradepost.

i don’t get it… – are you saying this stack of trans stones I have will be worth something?

Just another way for them to push the Gem Store. Dyes don’t drop any more. To me that means – Amazing New Dye Packs in the Gem Store! Unlock all your favorite colors, only $19.99, call now and you’ll receive this special offer, a free tennis bracelet. Don’t wait, supplies are limited.

They just removed the last drop that I got slightly, if only briefly, excited about when I saw it drop. You want loot?, your just gonna have to buy it from us.
