Guild Wars 2

Trying to use lfg website..found 3 groups. I couldn’t join the dungeon. It always put me solo. What’s up

How did u make that…the puzzle is not up yet O.o just tried.

Yes, same. Just finished my third dodge/evade all dungeon and still didn’t get it.

I also dodged and evaded every attack he had in 2 separate dungeons and i didn’t get the achievement. I am honestly kitten ed about this. Moments ago i finished the dungeon and same thing.

Don’t really care about how u get them as much as i do about how they look…..and they really are …..how to put it in nice words… “less then compelling” multiplied by about “over 9000”

There are tons of better looking sets in the game. Sry but the design is just ugly and not worth to stress yourself over how u get them. It’s just a stretch-suit with cogs duck-taped to it. Just my opinion.

Am not the one trying (so passionately it’s insulting ppl indirectly) to prove Cantha’s removal (district or continent) is based on lore and not on actual cultural facts. Am just having fun :P

BlueSoda.6297:

So now you’re just going to post baseless personal attacks at me?

Oh the irony

Rouven.7409:

Aye, cantha was “removed”, but not because it was “asian” – it was because they mixed different “asian” architecture – and THAT was a no-go.

Yup, give this guy a medal. A mixture of asian architectures is right.

Sry rouven, but by BlueSoda standards, u have no clue about the lore. Welcome to the club.

Fireball awesome - U WILL BE REMOVED!%!## hahahaha

Trust me i know pretty well the lore considering i played GW1 since the second week of release until 4 months beefore the release of GW2. It was pretty obvious i was talking about the district not the continent. I am sorry u didn’t get it. Have to put it upfront for some ppl i guess.

If u are so good at copy pasting texts when not needed, try googling why the Canthan D.I.S.T.R.I.C.T. was removed from the game and by who was that proposal made. Give me a C…give me an O…give me a PY-PASTE! After u finish majestically copy pasting that…also look for who that “who” is (or was-hopfully their mindset changes with that and we do see Cantha).

yup awesome add…This event has delivered in a much better way then the past.

I just hope u are kidding and dunno what happened to Cantha (which was in the game in the beta) OR the humongous thread about why cantha was removed and replaced by a huge hole in divinity’s reach. I really hope u are fooling around

@BlueSoda ah so that’s why Cantha was replaced by an endless hole in the game..because it had no asiatic themes :P..it’s just Cantha haha

@Vahkris, both.

Wut is dis sorcery? I was baffled by the cinematic itself..but putting an (oh god, dare i?!) Asian female in it? What turned u around? I thought the master race (asia) forbid any asiatic theme like cantha into the game for the “common folk” represented by the rest of the world. This also includes other shapes of eyes that are even 1 degree different then ours.

What turned u around as to offer us such a delight?

U clearly are someone who doesn’t know what a legendary takes to make. Nobody in his right mind will craft 2 of the same legendaries just to equip it on 2 different characters. Only legendaries worth crafting twice are 2x daggers or pistols and u put them on the same character.

Even so why should i and 90% of ppl should accept that hilarious fact u stated? Just because some guy has nothing better to do then to make 2 identical legendaries with the purpose of equipping them on different characters, all have to suffer?

Start AND finish working on a legendary before u come here acting like u know every answer to every question. U risk sounding like a clown.

Strangly we are not far apart u and i…..but i haven’t met such cases. When i needed a party i got for example.

Part of GW2’s beauty is that u are not party-dependent in any way (except dungeons, where u can fix that with gw2lfg.com). Other then that really u just follow ppl around and profit$$. If you are bad at something u will eventually quit yourself..nobody will tell u to quit.

That’s atleast what i saw so far and my persona experience.

In dungeons yes..i can see elitists poping up because “guy x” finished the dungeon 1ms faster compared to this new group he is in and he starts raging and telling everyone is doing something wrong when in fact he’s the one failing the group (ALL the freekin time..the irony)

This is one of the most generic threads i’ve ever read considering it applies to every game, activity and whatnot u will ever experience both IRL and virtual.

It’s like complaining about being human..same thing.

We are talking about legendary status items not 1-2g exotics. Wrong thread. Nobody cares about exotic items’s status but ppl do care about an over 1500g worth item they worked their kitten off for.

That so called TL;DR is the funniest thing i’ve seen in years. Well played poster..well played.

See no tie between accountbounding legendaries and gem cash…actually i see an occasion for them to introduce an item for cash, that does that.

cool little lore history there.

I am still waiting for this. I want my legendary to account-bound on use. I worked my kitten for this, i want to be able to ware it on any of my characters and brag about it. Now i am limited to a character i don’t even play anymore. Was this the intent for the hardest and most painful item to get in this game?

The uses of legendaries are limited anyway…for ex u have a GS, u can’t use it on a necro and so on…The very few classes that can use a certain type of legendary i expect should be able to use it regardless of soulbound. It should be accountbound

@AnthonyOrdon. Out of curiosity, does anet have the tools to check how many ppl are on map “X” ? If yes, please (don’t even tell us because that would actually be a plubic statement on the disaster of pve), just look on them and compare with numbers from previous months of previous to your miraculous “fix patches”. Tell me how many ppl are still farming or as u want to call it “Explooooore” pve maps and how many just sit in front of dungeons begging for parties.

My opinion after loging in daily almost all the time from work and from home, is that u destroyed PvE maps by introducing absurd RNG conditions and champions everywhere. All that’s left is to make us fight champions just to talk to the Merchant NPC. As sarcastic as that sounds..that is LITERALLY the only thing left for u.

Look even at orr, the most hated map, even tho was the place we could farm T6 in big groups and have a bit of fun. What did u do? add freekin champions everywhere. Now that map is completely deserted. U CAN NOT FIX THINGS…..this has been clear so far. U only make modifications that are so OVER THE TOP that it makes your player base basically GIVE UP!

So as for now, u have a huge game filled with beautiful content honestly. One of the best and clearly love-implicated content i’ve seen (except orr, just f**** delete it)….and you with your miraculous patches have physically and psychologically have reduced us to 3 activities:
1. Fast daily (takes 30 min max)
2. Dungeon spamming
3. Dragon/world boss runs, where u just teleport, kill…and logoff fast before u are jumped on by one of those champions u put in…. or before the RNG system won’t let us move anymore.

That’s it…all your hard work..all your effort for what..10 years? That’s what it’s limited to. Want to test it out? Remove over night a few high lvl maps and let’s see if anyone notices it. Map exploration & farming is completely and utterly dead. Actually it’s the definition of dead and buried.

U think i am exagerating? Please go on and make a poll. U can make it even an ingame poll, send it as a letter to all players asking to choose between multiple radio-button options. This is what u all from anet don’t really get. It’s not ONLY about what u think it’s right, it’s also about what we actually feel while playing the game. Your maps have been dead for months now for a reason, and more and more maps are joining those ranks because of YOUR decisions are BRUTALLY enforced on us. All your events don’t do anything but make us play for 2-3 days on those maps to get an achievement after that what? 3+ more weeks of sitting in LA.

Here’s a TIP….make a testing server and test your godly patches there. Make it available to any player who wants to try it out. Make ppl actually test your ideas before u implement them. Yes it’s a complicated thing…but what do u choose losing customers slowly or satisfying them and also earn their respect implicating them in your plans..make them be part of the whole team, and make them feel like the game is made for them not for your RNG pockets.

I am excited about this event. Haven’t been this excited since Halloween.

I just hope the rewards are medium-difficulty “to get” not very hard. Also devs lower the RNG, don’t biblically fail like u did with the karka consortium chests. U may have won a few extra $$, but u lost a lot of respect from players by doing that. Respect is harder to regain then to lose.

53 boxes opened hoping i get 1 skin for one of my multiple weapons. Guess how many flowers i got. And i am a happy case, ppl payed a ton of money on those opening hundreds and getting the same result.

Random karka drop (normal mob)

What is this used for? It’s a rare key that says it opens up chests and whatnot..but haven’t seen any chests. Is it 1 time use?

This RNG bull is getting out of hand. I am more and more preferring the monthly fee over this and i played more then enough “casshop games”. Atleast in those u know what u buy….not like this gamble with real money. It’s at the very limit of scamming.

ANet look..i have nothing against u making money. It’s logical u would want to because this is a free mmo, but the method u are making money off your clients is just not right. In any other mmo i either 100% know what i am buying or the gambling i buy is like “ok i have 50% chances of getting that item so it’s worth investing in this box”… In this game u made it feel like u are literally being scammed. Either fix this or just acknowledge u are incapable of making a fair-decent cashshop system and make this game p2p. I don’t midn it. Maybe this way i will actually even get decent content and bug fixes. Seems this casshop system doesn’t bring u so much money as to fix bugs faster that’s sad.

I am a glass-thief and had no issues. I failed twice asking no advice. Once because i didn’t see the scanners on the ground (lolnub) and the second because i didn’t realise canach could manually explode all bombs in the area so i got caught.

Thief is easy..u have stealth to get out fast and speed buff.

Back then i payed 15$ monthly but i also received after a few months (or even monthly) something so consistent it made me frantically play it.

Now i buy a 1 time game that makes u indirectly pay even more then 15$ a month, to get crappy content. (leave alone that some ppl use cashshop and some don,t we are talking about a concept that is undeniably bringing them a big chunk of money, close or even more then a normal sub game)

Just saying, 1 infinite pick = 10E/$ (5E/$ less then a monthly fee) and that’s just 1 item u might buy or not. The sales on infinite picks or whatever was huge. U payed 10$ last month, u payed 10$ this month and u will pay another 10$ next month when they release the infinite axe thing (this is just for 1 item).

If u didn’t buy anything from the gem store u are entitled to not be effected by the quality of their content, but don’t extend globally as it’s your own opinion, an opinion that neither the ppl who don’t use cashshop don’t share on the long run because everyone wants better content, not content that is worst then the previous.

I’ve seen more challenging critters.

Sarcasm aside, yea as a boss he tends to be interesting but still easy to make on the long run. This depends on how ppl see “difficult”. Some ppl see difficult as high health, some as high dmg, others the mechanics and rules that boss imposes on u. For the last one, yes the boss is interesting, but the overall experience of the dungeon (none) completely negates any feeling u get from that boss.

Part of the difficulty of a boss is not only the boss itself, but also how u get to fight that boss (none in this case)….the dangers u face even getting to him, things that keep u on the edge of your sit just to face that boss.

The only danger i felt getting to this culminating boss fight of this dungeon (or as some call it a mini-emo-room), was boredom.

That to me sounds like the answer of someone who doesn’t have an answer but still wants to give one. It leaves u thinking “yea right…whatever”

Lindbur.2537:

A passage, a room and another room.

Yay.

Excuse me?
There’s a passage, a room and a hall. Get your facts correct.

lLobo.7960:

At least maybe we wont have people complaining thakittens only temporary.

Indeed, now i am hoping with all my heart it’s temporary.

N-O.

(and a bunch of random text to reach the minimum 15 characters to post)

Only difference is the halloween dungeon was actually epic-made, the boss in itself was awesome designed, the fight was cool with the multi-layer and it didn’t end in 5 min and without any effort of getting there. Not to mention the halloween dungeon actually had multiple dungeons in it..the puzzle world, the boss world, the clock tower..and so on.

This dungeon is the pinnacle of devolution when it comes down to memorable content.

Even if ppl say “well it’s not a dungeon it’s just some kind of emo-room”, they could atleast make it more interesting as getting to the boss ..not just run inbetween some mines and kill him by making him run into his own mines. Not even a dialogue..a quote..a text anything. When u enter explorer mode with a party u see the exact same thing only this time is NULL…that just magically poped there without any background. Where was he in story mode? couldn’t they make him appear in story mode as lieing down inactive on the ground or something? Makes no sense.

I find guilds in guildwars2 to be kinda useless considering u can do everything solo. Only thing that requires guilds are guild missions that are by their technical implementation frustrating. If i remember correctly u need a higherup in the guild to start them. What if i login when no higherup is logged? What if they do the event and they don’t want to do it again because they already got the reward…and so on and so forth. Technically speaking guild missions are not worth the stress.

So again what are guilds worth? Chat and interaction? some of the best and funniest chat interactions i had in mapchat.

Help with dungeons and story? gw2lfg.com or mapchat (max 5 min and u have a group compared to guildies who most of the time feel bored and don’t join, but that depends on the guild i guess..even tho most are the same)

Help with items and crafting? Crafting is mostly useless if u get good items on u. U get good items by doing solo stuff anyway. Once u have those good items u are done with any help needed.

sPvP ? sure that might be one, if i actually gave a kitten about it.

WvW? It’s just zerg…if u know who is a good commander and who is not u just run or don’t run with him. No need for a guild + most servers have huge TS channels where u can join and take part at the big zerg conversations bla bla

Guild items/armors/rewards? All are hideous.

I might say it’s the same case in all mmo’s, but in no mmo till this one have i felt that guilds are so useless. Maybe because u would actually need a guild to progress in that game compared to GW2 where u can progress solo hardly encountering issues.

Canach vs any character = pick up scanner…press 1 and 2 (no 3,4,5) on bombs…make him run into them. Repeat till health = 0. No other skill needed. End.

*PS. Bombs never change places. If u learn their position once, that’s all u need to know…u won’t even need to use 1.

lol….bans…good one.

What do permanent boss+chest mean?
Permanent boss from my understanding is similar to a dragon event for example but what is a permanent chest? Something u get only once and never get again (that means ppl will never do that event more then once) or something that u constantly get like dragon events chests /day or what?

Yea that too lol. This proves it’s a 1 time useless dungeon. If it were usefull zones there would never be contested or the path to the dungeon would never have mobs there because ppl would kill them.

Once ppl finished that 5 min dungeon they never came back. I don’t blame them, why would anyone come back.

Yes indeed it feels dumb. I expected something more epic, maybe even a small video at the end or a cutscene with a discussion…

…u just enter there…dodge a few bombs, get to the boss that has no narative whatsoever (there’s no difference between him and a moa literally, no wonder i never knew who Canach even is and i played all events since the begining. He has nothing special that makes me want to even consider remembering him let alone have an impact and consider him a foe from the past that comes back and becomes a nemesis) …shoot 4-5 mines and done. Ok i get it maybe it’s just story mode, but then i try out exp mode with party……the exact same thing..just 1 model-skin changed.

I am sorry but all this hype was for less then nothing. If these are the content adds of the future living story, i am very disappointing. And if this was just another experiment for them to see how we react…i am tired to be experimented on.

All this wait for something u finish in 10 minutes if u take breaks during it. Awesome. This dungeon/living story and potential continuation, for me personally, with all indulgence, was the biggest fail so far. What happened to u? u started with mad king which was epic…and now u were reduced to a 10 min dungeon? Seriously i entice u to look at yourselves and what u did in the past a bit and how abruptly u have declined in quality when it comes to story and so on it’s really, not sad, but disturbing.

Look, if u want us to pay u (monthly instead of cashshop) to actually receive good quality or atleast the same quality as before, not declining, just tell us and we make this game a monthly fee.

I just hope that karka queen fiasco u will pull off on the 5th will blow my mind away otherwise the points above stand for present and your future so called “5 min contents & wait for 1month for another 5 min”. I don’t want to see another copy-paste karka with 1 extra healthbar compared to the others. I want to see something that will blow my mind considering it’s the end of this whole fiasco. U promised epic boss fights in this game, i want to see what u come up with (other then the ones that have been here since the release of the game).

Here’s what i consider epic: That mountain’o’poo where we killed the karka guardian or whatever he was. Make it expload releasing a hugeass boss that takes a whole server to kill and at the end when it dies, something dramatically changes on the map or the whole map thus making the karka extinct or retreat in the hole they came from. Maybe the fight be on different layers…ground, midair. Some players using specially created cannons and trebs like the ones left behind after the big fight…and so on. Make things on a huge scale and make it count. Go even further….make story characters join the fight, like the main characters of the story OR the 2 other characters from the living world we have helped.

Not against games like this, but the way they is completely wrong. It’s a lag/skillag-luckfest. Anyone who comes here and it requires any kind of skill (may it be advanced or monkey level skill) is lieing to himself so much he actually believes it.

In my book that is not a fun way of doing a game. The only person who thinks he is having fun is the guy who won and is blinded by the fact he was extremely lucky in that winning process.

I honestly hope this was just a badly executed experiment and they won’t do it again. U don’t win the admiration of ppl with games like this. U just raise ppl’s frustrations in a game that shouldn’t be frustrating. What’s the point of a game on a long run?

U can take criticism as is…or u can just ignore your fails and come here saying “oh but just don’t play it”. Instead of indirectly blaming stuff on us (considering we indeed wanted to play it), try fixing it…and maybe u will see less bad comments. It’s like me buying a dvd player, and after seeing it has movie-delays while playing, the vendor telling me “u don’t like it, don’t use it”..it’s that dumb.

Remember the general opinion of customers is always right specially when u are desperately dependent on the money of those customers in a F2P game :P just sayin’ (and no i don’t represent the majority, but i am one of those voices that adds up “at the end of the day”).

For those who say “but u didn’t pay anything for it” … my gem transaction store history negates your opinion on this matter.

Long story short, i don’t want to hear “u don’t like, u don’t play” anymore. That is not a business model that will make u’re game any better. It just infuriates and frustrates ppl. Even if it seems impossible, i want to be able to enjoy every part of the product i bought and i am still paying for via gem store without being frustrated each time. On the long run my gem-money is an investment in quality, more then just buying 2-3 skins. It’s my way of “monthly subscribing” to your game.

U guys obviously need more passion.

Don’t worry guys…as long as there’s something that can milk the money from your wallet or parents, ANet will always add it in gemstore chests.

Just have patience…u will have enough time to spend all your moneyz.

Noticed them since the first time i entered. Stuff is going on there. It might be that we killed just a guardian like others say here and the real boss of the island has yet to show it’s ugly face (considering those tentacles look almost identical to the ones u get from your backpack reward – specially the tips, and the backpack is moving so that indicates those big tentacles are also “alive” …ANet going all hentai on us).

It might also mean that without that karka we killed in the first place, there’s no one to take care of that mountain thing, si it’s collapsing. Something like the karka are brainless without a mastermind and they are doing random stuff now instead of house cleaning. Standard starcraft zerg. Also notice that at the bottom of the pit where the petrified karka thing we killed, there’s water running down to her in the lava pit. That was not there before. It’s like the whole organic mountain is collapsing. What will be after it collapses? nobody knows. If this is indeed true, that would mean ANet is looking to remove the karka from the island (extinct) and make it completely habitable?

Maybe it’s just that, killing the karka has awakened something that they were guarding or keeping at bay (not their queen as stated above..something else other then the karka). Now without the organized karka there, the mysterious hentai tentacle monster is free to poke every female character that dares enter the cave’o’doom’and’…stuff.

There’s also a theory where, for the past months after we killed the karka and nobody had anything to do there anymore, mystical double rainbow ponies have been mating inside that mountain and what u see there is residue.

Same..i just login do the daily and logout. As for the living story and whatever…they can be fully finished in 1 day…

Game offers nothing that would convince me to play more then “a daily”

I just found this nifty article that was posted yesterday (13th May 2013)

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2013-05-13-ncsoft-profits-up-yoy-but-down-on-last-quarter

I honestly hope it’s something very consistent…like a whole new continent (Elona or even, dare i say it….the forbidden name Cantha). Just like in GW1..they added whole new regions that literally doubled the game content. That’s a REAL expansion…not just 1-2 maps that players will be bored of in 1 month max.

TA’s method of breaking apart in GW2 was a circus act even if the guilds themselves are very good with awesome ppl and have nothing against them individually.

As for your Meta changes and so on those are your thoughts on the situation which for me are like sprinkling beautifully smelling flowers with rainbows coming out of them (meta changes), on a pile of dum-p hoping it smells better (overall wvw and power to attract ppl to stay in it).

I suggest u don’t insult ppl which never insulted you or anyone You take things to personal in trying to defend a game. Not healthy. Anyway…everyone chooses what he plays and what not. If u find WvW so entertaining i have nothing against u. glhf in the matchup ^.^

Cool story Atleast i said something that is on the minds of over 90% of the HC ppl even if they admit it or not. Till u have a valid counter to a debate…i am off.

Glhf in wvw regardless of the server u are on.

Oh yea definitely i am bored with the game… but that doesn’t have any ties to WvW. I can enjoy PvE more then the current stagnant monotone state of WvW any time… best example would be me loging in to do one of those monthly events anet does, but not even considering joining WvW. The overall state of WvW is more boring then PvE atm. Starting from maps to commander utility/functions (technical) to the same servers u get matched up all the time.

This WvW boredome is clearly seen in the lack of ppl, big guilds that went in hiding and so on. If the hardcore guilds/players (a large portion of it not all ofc) decide to quit on WvW (or the game, which is the same thing for them because WvW was their game) that means clearly something is fundamentally wrong in wvw. I don’t know many hardcore mmo players that quit like that.

Go ask any HC wvw player and he will instantly tell u “matchup and wvw are boring overall” or “wvw is lacking a lot” and so on. Atleast that’s what i get in a HC wvw guild with personal connections cross-server.

You could say we played to much the game and got bored. Yes indeed we played the game a lot, but how does that exactly stop ANet from changing maps and introducing systems that where asked so many times. One thing is to want a change and not say anything. Another is to want one, say it and never receive it (instead we get completely HORRIBLE! flag backpacks which only someone taking meth with 100% pure alcohol could ever even think of coming up with a design like that, and 10+ wvw upgrades out of which 2-3 will always be usefull the rest being useless scrolldowns. Oh oh “but we got no culling”. Excuse me but that should have been something done from the beta of this game not 5 months after the game was released..let’s not kid ourselfs. “You” release an MMO not thinking u will encounter that problem in an open-space 3x server battle…seriously? u for real?).

ANet is a milking company consolidated with GW2 event-releases. U guys expect more from them even after so many events were done like this?

They make p2p games look 10 times better.

Find anything fun in this game, i bet u anything they will nerf it and introduce a new gem item that does the same thing as pre-nerf. That’s how hungry they are.

Meh..nothing special in that event also….Another 1 weekend login, period.

What jungle dragon…
