Guild Wars 2

Dibbelocher.2318:

So… We all know and agree. There have been too little armor sets, gliders and weapons to go for in the recent patches. Though this is the case, it’s not exactly what frustrates me. Because if all of these armors looked really good then I wouldn’t mind.
But my problem here is that most of them don’t and instead they make good looking outfits for the gem store.

It kittenes me off so much when people talk as if they had the ultimate truth. “We all know and agree” my *ss.
We got a few outfits in the Gemstore, Timekeeper weapons that are really cool (and are not Gem items) and I think one glider skin. I believe that’s an OK amount of Gem items for the last three months.
What you said “if armors looked good” is totally subjective. You don’t like the available armors (that there are TONS) but that’s not the case for everyone, and I believe is not the case for the majority. I got three outfits and I ONLY use them on non-80 toons. For my four Lv80s I use Wardrobe and to my taste, I’ve done some pretty epic combinations.

Dibbelocher.2318:

And something worse is going about with gliders. The only glider that isn’t in the gemstore is the one you get by default. Why not make gliders to get for completing content? Like raids? Or quests?

Ok I do agree with you here. Its quite new content, so I’m pretty sure… Well I hope that they make non-Gemstore gliders. Not because I mind buying them, but because I feel is unfair for people that don’t wanna buy them off the Gemstore.

Dibbelocher.2318:

So basically the problem is that they are purposefully holding back good content so we will buy more of the gemstore. And that attitude REALLY needs to change. Definitely since 3 outfits are worth a freaking precursor with the current exchange price.

And there we go again, baseless accusation. What do you mean by “holding back good content”? Good content meaning patch updates like the one we got a few days ago? Because I don’t see them holding back too much. And how does that anything to do with buying cosmetics off the Gemstore?

Dibbelocher.2318:

The bladed armor sets, which look awfully low in detail and extremely bland and stiff.

I only quoted this because here I got an example of “that’s your opinion”. With the exception of the Medium Bladed armor, I believe Heavy and Light versions are amazing and very detailed.

Dibbelocher.2318:

Secondly, give us gliders as rewards for doing raids, fractals and collections.

Hey! That’s a really cool idea. Gorseval Glider… kitten that’d look sick!

Dibbelocher.2318:

Third of all, make outfits into armor sets and make them available through cool short quests which will tell a story about the armors.

That’s another good idea. Would make story (specially the personal story) not… so… slow… and unrewarding. I always felt the final reward was pretty lame.

Dibbelocher.2318:

To continue on this. Lots of fashion items don’t really have a story behind them or a rather vague story. By making collections or preferably short quests you can explain where these armor sets originate and why they are there in the first place.

Well, with the huge amount of armors and armor pieces in the game I don’t think we’ll ever be getting that. In my opinion its a tiny detail and ANet is focusing on major things.

As a healer, at first I lost my mind trying to heal full health Reapers until I realized that darker health bar was Shroud Lol
About Cont Split.. Meh doesn’t last that bad anyways. At least as a Druid healer, there are no skills with such long cooldowns that will actually affect the team if I use them by accident on someone that didn’t need it in the end.

I don’t see it as a major requirement but just a little useful feature.

I’m pretty sure he meant patch release, not seasonal patch, so this only means a week or two weeks… hopefully.

You get one attunement on every split phase. Unless you’re Condi damage or the Tank/Healer (usually) you’ll always get blue attunement. I didn’t really check if you need to successfully kill him for the attunement color to count or not.

Stajan.4581:

Listen it is not an exploit because they made it possible to jump into the trees if you climb the tree he becomes invulnerable and can not be hurt. Second off if anet has a problem with players finding an easier way to play the game then pull the game from the shelves and re do it, it is that simple they can not and will nto be able to cover everything and make it visually appealing. So suck it up buttecup and learn to enjoy the game if you do not want to use a tree don’t use it if you want to stack in the corner need the stairs which by the way is another place you can then do that he throws axes just like the ranger so get over it.

Here, take a chill pill buddy.

He doesn’t become invulnerable when you’re over the tree, I did it like 2 days ago and it’s exactly the same as the hut.

The Mossman had like 5 exploit areas by now so this will continue. Personally I find no entertainment in Fractals as is the exact same thing every time, so I don’t care if people use exploits to get the rewards fast.

Hopefully those new Fractals ANet mentioned will be here soon.

As Akijo said, doesn’t include tax. There are many other retailers that sell it for less tho.

I liked having to actually participate in the different Metas to gain experience to continue the story, but I do understand your point.
Anyways you technically don’t need anything other than basic gliding to defeat Mordremoth. You can either enter someone else’s instance (Mord only throws rocks to the instance owner) or close your glider when you see a rock coming for you and then deploy it again before reaching the floor (aim for an updraft, or you gonna die).

I wouldn’t mind them not gating Story with map exploration. I’ll explore the kitten out of every map nonetheless!

News update: Legendaries are just a gold sink – pretty and really expensive skins. You may have to spend a lot of gold to get them, and a lot of time.

Because it would be boring and repetitive.
You don’t really need to have gold on any adventures unless you’re a completionist and you just do it for the achievements, which is totally up to you, I didn’t bother with most of them. I have silver on every one of them.
I enjoyed every adventure, and actually Drone Race is one of the adventures I disliked the most, but still enjoyable.
The only adventure they should fix in my opinion is the Punch-o-Matic because its nearly impossible to achieve gold.

I doubt they’ll change the adventures, and frankly, I hope they don’t. (Except Punch, of course)

Even though I’d love to see this feature, I can’t imagine how they’d implement it. Imagine you have 250 Bandit Coin Purses and you open them all at once 90% of the items you receive would go to the “You’re encumbered!” bag and you’ll end up spending the same amount of time (if not more) clearing bag slots for the items to fill them immediately, so you’re unable to salvage until you have nothing else on the encumbered bag, which will take quite some time.
I think I’d prefer a “Salvage all possible non-rare items” option and I feel is more viable.

// First of all, I consider myself a “fast learner”, so I do understand that some people do find the map navigation annoying and the learning curve too slow or hard either because they like the old casual gameplay GW used to offer or don’t have that much time to play. //

So many people complaining about the maps being “hard”. Seriously although they are indeed harder, they’re still on casual level in my opinion. The only mobs that kill me now are the smokescales if I’m not paying attention. Or large amounts of Chak.
Maps are hard to navigate… the first 1-2 times. Then is a walk in the park, even Tangled Depths is easy.
The only map I dislike from the expansion is Dragon’s Stand, mostly because its extremely boring to fight wave after wave of mobs until you reach a point, but overall is still a very interesting map. I’d like some more time to explore after the Mouth is dead too…

I do agree that Mordremoth fight is glitchy to the point of annoying, but once you know how the glitches work you can even use them in your favor. The most useful glitch specially if you wipe on Challenge Mode is a break bar that appears on Mordremoth that, even on first stage if you break it, Mord’s HP will drop to 20% and last phase with the waves of mobs will start. If happened to me and we almost rage-quitted that when I had to give the final blow and lets say… Mord was on the southern part of the map and the “Finish it” interaction was in the northern part of the map, where Mord should’ve been and it took us some time to find… I found it I believe seconds before people started to quit Lol
I used to have issues with the updrafts when I tried to jump or interact with them, so I took Dulfy’s advice and starting rolling into them. Not a single time it got glitched again.

The transition to Mordremoth’s fight is not as epic as Zhaitan’s, but the fight itself is SO much better, even with the glitches.

The ending itself felt a bit unfinished, as many people say, but only because you just… kill something else after Modremoth (trying not to give spoilers here) and that’s it. But the cinematic was great! Can’t wait for LW3!

I loved the Masteries system. Although it is a bit grindy when I started doing Chak Gerent for the Mini Chak Gerent achievements I leveled so many Masteries without even thinking about it that by the time I got my Mini and I checked what I had to do next, what Mastery, I was so confused because I only needed a few more. I even had to start looking for Mastery Points because the bar got filled before I could get more points.

I paid $100 for the expansion (I wanted the 4K Gems to buy the unbreakable tools) and I have no regrets. LOVED this expansion!

Chill buddy, the forums are mostly full of whiners and people complaining because the rest of us that are happy with the game and enjoy it are actually playing it. (The only reason I’m checking the forums is because I’m at work :P)

Is good to see a “Thank you!” post every one in a while, I’m pretty sure it makes more than one dev smile.
I love Guild Wars and I believe ANet is a great developer… specially after coming from a Trion Games game like Rift that was a very promising game and a really good one if I may say but they turned it into the most disgusting moneygrab. I quitted more than a year ago and you can imagine my happiness after seeing the top guild in that game quit because they got fed up with this pathetic developer.

If you wanna see what a bad developer is, what a true moneygrab is, please watch this video:

Thanks for your post!

I just saw a guy whose bear was named “Disguised Chicken” Lmao. That’s the best name I’ve seen!

There are some threads about best character names, but I haven’t seen any related to pet names!

Post the best ones you’ve seen!

I don’t do PvP or WvW yet so I can’t give feedback about that.

- The Revenant change was good, I have a Revenant and I don’t feel (as others say) that you “destroyed” Revenant. My only complain would be the bugs on Unrelenting Assault, as MANY times doesn’t do the 5 jumps, usually when the terrain level changes or there’s a wall nearby.

- The Shatterer upgrade is great! Makes the fight much more entertaining. The break bar on the Shatterer tho is a bit too hard to break. I’ve never seen it drop under 60%, but that could be because a lot of players might still be getting used to what a break bar/defiance bar is.

- Being able to change Fractal Scale inside the Observatory is AWESOME. No more LoadingScreen Wars.

- Squad UI overhaul was great! Is much better to organize large groups for major events and the markers for Raids are really helpful.

- GLIDING. ON. TYRIA! Such a great feature! Not only GW2 already had some really astounding environments, but Gliding made it even more enjoyable! As well as map completion a bit easier and faster.

- What happened with the Scribe cost reduction you talked about on Guild Chat?

Overall, I believe it was a great update. There are a few things to fix and some other things to add, of course, but a great update. We need Raid LFG category!

Draknar.5748:

I would dare say that 75% of GW2 players do not understand break bars or know how they are supposed to break it.

Agree… That’s why I always call out in Map Chat what CC means and what effects are CC. But yes, a lot of people don’t understand. Can’t deny is not very well explained if you just got into the game and see that bar, I bet most new players assume its like a energy or mana bar Lol

I just saw this video from WoodenPotatoes in a non-full map.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ9XRXAU5KE

Minute 8:03, see how easy the crystal break bar breaks. I could solo that with my Rev or my Reaper. My guessing is that the Shatterer’s Break Bar scaled too much, because in my experience the crystals also were really hard to break. My 5 hard CC skills in Revenant barely touched the crystal’s bar (about 5% or less).

Swagger.1459:

The break bar mechanics are not good.

Kill credit for branded is bugged and not counting properly.

Zero credit for the healing crystal things.

I’ve not been able to loot the trophy all 4 times I’ve done it.

It’s a mess right now.

Weird… I’ve been getting full credit for the Healing crystals, I did get credit for some of the Branded kills and I did get a trophy :/ But yeah, I’ve seen other people complain, specially about the crystals. I hope they fix it soon. Its a really fun fight but these bugs disencourage people

Hey, first of all, I love the new Shatterer! Really fun fight and the Branded Backpiece looks cool.
However, I do have one complain, that hopefully is just a bug – The Shatterer’s breakbar is INSANE. I’ve done it like 6 times already and I never saw that bar drop under 70%.

I do understand that some people either don’t care or don’t know what CC is or how/when to use it, but I doubt that’s the majority. At first I thought it was because too many people were gliding, but then I noticed #1 Skill has hard CC.

So how’s the deal? I really want those achievements but right now, that break bar looks untouchable, or at least on the time given to break it. Hopefully is just a bug, like Gerent’s HP scaling used to be.

If they did this an option in the settings menu, fine, whatever. But don’t make it default for everyone else. Specially in Gorseval, glider auto-deployment while holding the jump key has been extremely useful, and a lot of other situations outside Gorse.

If you believe there’s no war you haven’t even scratched the GW2 story and lore. I do agree that in the story your actions and decisions make absolute no difference in the outcome. It would be nice if your decisions would maybe accidentally kill a major character or cause the devastation of a city or something.

Sorry about that. It was taking AGES to post the thread and it was giving me errors, so I kept trying. I guess they DID go through Lol

I believe the LFG system REALLY needs an improvement. Not only we urgently need a Raids category but what has become extremely annoying is the “Your message has been suppressed due to excessive messaging”. What?
I do understand that after some time you get “Kicked” from LFG to prevent AFKs, but if I want to reset my LFG with the same message I get that message, therefore I literally can’t reset my LFG unless I drastically change my message.

To being with I really can’t see the point of having a “spam filter” in LFG like there is in Chat, I seriously can’t imagine. Just a bit of feedback and I’d like to know other people’s opinion.
