Guild Wars 2

Meanwhile, the Chinese already got a more reliable way to get a precursor that doesn’t cost +1000gold…

Megaserver is good.
Before, I was always in front of a world boss with 2-3 people asking myself if I should quit.
Now i’m sure that whenever I go there will be people to kill it especially the less popular boss like karka queen, ulgoth modnir or megadestroyer.

I don’t think grinding 500-800 gold was intentional by design.

Myst.5783:

I got my 3rd precursor a day or so ago or a random mob in Cursed Shore

They’re still dropping. .-.

How blessed your account is. I checked my account droprate and Anet put 0 to precursors and 0 to ascended boxes. I reached the 13k AP and I don’t think I’ll ever get a precursor or an ascended weapon/armor while all of the guys of my friendlist and their mothers linked me at least once their droppped precursor.

That’s too late man. Because of forums QQ of “I don’t see anyone so the game is dead…”. Anet answered you with the megaserver “take that in your face QQ guy”.

If you really think that WvW was meant to be fair you should have played sPvP in the first place instead of overdramatizing the little gain of ascended stats…

Sorry Op but you have never played a game where the grind was “mandatory”.
Sure GW2 has some parts that are grindy but none of them are truly mandatory.
You don’t have to grind for legendary.
You don’t have to grind for ascended (except if you need high AR for fractals).
You can still play the content with exotics believe me or not.

On the other hand, we had every month “the GUY” who is saying the game is dead because he’s blind and don’t see anyone on his map.
Tell me who Anet is listening.

Before adding new stats, can we hope to get someday valkyries and carrion ascended trinklets ? Cause that still makes no sense they’re not in game.

I tried to play GW1 for the HoM achievements but I have a hard time not dozing. I played ritualist and I’m playing like if I was executing a boring macro by myself. Maybe not my type of game.
And what to say about the “healer complex”, people who want to feel like saviors or useful or somehow important…

An ex guildmate of mine that doesn’t play a lot a got (less than 1k ap) threw 24 greatswords in a row. He got Dusk and Dawn.
RNG’s working as expected.

I ended naked once. I played a necro of a friend account, went in WvW a lot. Been to fractals without repairing and had to finish it with blue and green looted pieces of armor , the character ended with a skin totally different of what my friend had.

You can QQ all you want, the wardrobe wasn’t meant to stock your stats.
It was meant for skins collectors.

Jahroots.6791:

Using the bank was always inconvenient because you have to (a) Get to a banker and (b) Manually change each item individually. Bags are bit easier, but you still have to go through point (b). This relative inconvenience causes most players to just choose a look and stick with it.

Why are you talking about the bank ? You’ll just have to push H to access the wardrobe.

If you already have the same dyes unlocked on multiple characters, when you log in on additional characters, you will receive one unidentified dye for each duplicate dye already unlocked on your account.

Isn’t that clear that all of your unlocked dyes will be unlocked for all your char ? Else what would be the point to give you non id dyes ?

Seriously what’s wrong with the community ? The wardrobe has been asked for… Since the beginning of the game ? And people still say that Anet doesn’t listen to players… The same can be said about the account bound dyes.

Dragon Ruler X.8512:

Btw where is my guild hall Anet? lol

And I’ll add something like a counter of guild members by maps. You open the map, you put the cursor on the name of a map and you know how many guildmates are on the map, refreshed each time you reopen the map.
That’s sexier than looking at the register and I don’t think that’s really hard to implement.

You are the one who are overrating the power of CC. If you’re think that’s useful to waste dps by removing stacks of whatever and do one little interrupt every 30 sec, then yeah I’ll have nothing more to say.

Tree.3916:

Unfortunately, this level of coordination is impossible for pug groups. Is that a problem? I think not.

And that’s why instead of trying to coordinate with pug who play different classes, and not all have CC we go all zerk. Easier, efficient and no need for CC cause anyway it doesn’t work 99% of the time on those boss.
I always thought that defiance was Anet saying just go play zerk.

Riftwalkercat.9168:

IHow does choosing ranger make me the cause of all things that fail in a group event?

Poor DPS, poor utilities, not as useful as a war, elem, guard or necro in WvW.
For twisted marionet a lot of rangers let the pet tank the protector who needs to be kited into his own mines…
Bearbow rangers that are useless.
Generally, if you see a 100% ranged ranger you know there’s something wrong.
Don’t misunderstand me, I got one but I have the decency to play it only in open world where all classes are kinda okay.

And what about celestial ? MF dissapeared and critital take a lot harder hit than on zerker gear…

It was expected in 2013. Man these guys got no words and no shame…

Good for you that you’re bored only after 1500+ hours.

Played more, got more than 10k ap, got everything but the precursor but there’s no way I’ll grind +500-900 gold and make rich a lottery winner. Still waiting for the scavenger hunt for 1 year and will give up if it’s a gold grind again.

Pug are like rng, in bad days they’re able to transform any dungeon into a bad Arah run.
To be fair, some pug are godly but ultra rare.

What is really challenging is the RNG difficulty from the level of pug.

Stacking or 5 people meleeing and circling the same mob doesn’t really make a difference.

Never seen one, looks like more of an urban legend to me.

I would say yes, I’d really love to replay some instances with my buddy Tybalt.

@Op, you can try again AC story. I remembered how it was at the release, it was very very very hard like if was an explorable path. It has been nerfed, mobs and bosses have less health and deal really less damages.
Now you can have an easier time doing it with a lvl 30 char unlike at release.

Welcome, but don’t stay too much in the forum. There is a strong haters community lurking in this forum who try very hard to brainwash people with their “superior” opinions

Unlike the super elite of this thread I recognize the game can be challenging to a lot of people.
I’m always pugging the dungeons and even in these “facerolls” dungeons like cof p1, hotw p1 or SE p1 people die for some reasons.
I did daily Arah p3 for the armor, and I’ve seen let’s say 80% of the time, at least 1 person dying at Lupicus always for some reasons. In the worst case I’m always the last man standing and ready to escape when I see 4 dead people.
So yeah, I maybe don’t really feel challenged but I won’t say the game is that as easy as the elites who never pug, want to make you believe.

Kraag Deadsoul.2789:

Ummm…no…not really. The days of human wave rushes being a viable military tactic were rendered obsolete with the advent of the machine gun in WWI Stacking or clustering of any kind is a mistake in the face of bombs, explosives, missiles, and rockets.[…]

Ummm… We’re talking about a game which is more mediaval like than modern like where there are still people with swords and shields. I don’t want to break your fantasy but medieval wars always looked like zerg.

Sorry but I’m a melee player so even if it’s not intentional, I stack or people stack on me. No you won’t force me to play ranged, sorry.
And Op you’re over exaggerating, you must be stacking only arround 1% of the time and go free for all the rest of the dungeon.

I think the devs who set that are the same who set the hp life of dungeon bosses, happy 0 smashers.

I’d like at least to be able to keep a different template for PvE and WvW. Like it’s already the case in PvP.

Sure there will be a lot of kitten asking everyone duels, let’s just add a report function for duels harassment or add an icon on your char to tell that you don’t accept duel from anyone.
Even so I’d like to duel my friends in the open world instead of afking with them.
And no, mist pvp is no good as long as the custom arena is in gem stores.

Put more bosses like Mai Trin and the fractal lava boss and you will stop to see 10K life glass canon class. These are the only encounters where dps doesn’t matter and players suck so much that I’m sick of this zerk meta (though I play myself zerk for most part of the game).

Rezz.8019:

They should completely remove the dredge fractal.

This is the only solution I would be happy with.

I’m for nuking it like TA f/u.

I know I could buy a second game but I’m not interested. Already have 8 lvl 80 characters on my current account, I already have gems I got from the game or bought.
I think it’s silly to buy a second game because of Anet’s region restriction.
I never paid twice a game and I won’t.

I’m annoyed that I must chose between my friends in NA and those in Europe.
I’m willing to pay a cash shop item that permit you to have two home servers, one in Europe and one in NA.
This way it won’t really impact Www and it will concern only people who are in the same situation as me.
Hell, you could even put it at 2400 gems so that it’s arround the price of a game account.

Op, try to log in GW1 and you’ll know what is a true dead game.

Still I find it somehow less fun that you don’t see the real guys with you.
Then why not make it a solo instance if you don’t see anyone anymore…
I would be for the choice of joining old version or this “nerfed” version of clocktower.

“however the precursor building (and corresponding additional legendary items) is the one highest at risk to not make it this year.”
I’m just affraid Collins will say the same in 2014.

You should just try a Korean MMO. Then you will realize what is a true mandatory grind.

Well if the devs really didn’t care, they wouldn’t fix any bugs, they wouldn’t do bi weekly updates, hell they wouldn’t do patches at all.
Maybe people think devs don’t care because they Anet didn’t answer their specific “I want this thing”. There are people who still believe in Santa in this forum.

Hope there is someday a 2 handed axe to make you justice.

Free travel to the character’s home city would be awesome.

This. I’m only doing to Lion’s Arch because I go there for free. It would be nice to give more racial features.

took me 1 minute to find the voting basket. Maybe you didn’t receive the mail showing where to go.

The game of 3 PVE classes. The other classes are really decent in PvP.
One of the problem of PvE is the mobs or boss with 1000 stacks of “defiant” that make all classes who aren’t the best in raw dps and better in controls a little useless.
