Guild Wars 2

I think humans make up the bulk of the playerbase or norns

If you’re just realizing that pvp is still in beta I’ve got some bad news for you

Graphics are fine MMO’s are built to appeal to the masses.

None cause they aren’t difficult to earn

Deluxe in the gemstore is currently only the core Deluxe not expansion deluxe.

Nope, there is now a deluxe upgrade for HoT if you purchased the Standard edition.

It’s shown on the main page of the gemstore. It says that items will be delivered at your next log-in.

Intredasting. Didn’t expect them to add it so early

Deluxe in the gemstore is currently only the core Deluxe not expansion deluxe.

how can you quit gw2 when it’s b2p?

nerf incoming. confirmed op you’ve heard it here first folks

lol and have thieves just sit on the sidelines in stealth until everyone is near dead to reap the rewards no thanks

I think they should remove the ability to solo queue into ranked queue… but remove team queue from ranked? I don’t think I agree with think I agree with that.

Conquest is made to be played with a team and plays out much better that way.

Solo q needs a different game mode before a separate queue.

Either like a random 3v3 arena or they could even make stronghold only solo queue, as it reminds me more of a fort aspenwood game type opposed to gvg.

Edit: To add to my reasoning, I believe unranked is a place to play with people that are not in your set team of 5, where you can play with your friends no matter how good they are, and not worry about your rating. that being said leaderboards need to be mmr based. And even though this is the case i win the majority of my soloq/duoq unranked games, so I’m sorry you had a bad day of games but they should not remove team queue form unranked.

I’d like to think the majority of players are solo queue players or duo. It’s much easier to hop on and solo queue than having to align your time table with 4 other players.

Hopefully ANet comes through with this request. It would be nice to have a “Fallen Heroes” type of monument dedicated to this person. It seems like Guild Wars was a big part of his life.

A statue of him in Lions Arch would be really really awesome. I support this thread.

A statue in Lions arch really…

so deal istant 7k dmg in downstate is balanced? are u kidding me?

but who was blind/los/range/stealth/etc my brain hurts i actually have to think!

I’ll let you know from experience they’ll most likely include all the extra features from the deluxe and up in the gem store down the line. If I knew the original gw2 deluxe would have put all of this into the gem store I would never had avoided it.

There should be a barrier to enter ranked but the population for pvp is abysmal

The technology just isn’t there yet.

Anet isn’t a charity they are a business and if customers aren’t satisfied they have the right to voice their concerns. You’re speaking of harassment of devs? I’ve seen nobody harass any Devs and if so it’s such a small amount of people that you’re missing the point. People are upset about the pricing where are you seeing people harass for example artists which would be completely irrelevant.

I’m interested in knowing how you all deal with condition rangers as a power necro

They have outlined pretty well what the expansion will contain. You’re gullible if you think they have some secret content hidden. I wouldn’t even call this an expansion tbh with how small it is going to be

$50 is the price for the expansion alone. The core is just a bonus for new players. I’m not saying I agree with their pricing

gw2 matchmaking in a nutshell

They already stated that $50 is the pricing for the expansion and the core game is a bonus for new players.

I bought the deluxe of the core game and they ended up putting that in the gem store. Chances are they will do the same with the expansion deluxe

They confirmed there won’t be any more copies

“Hey all. As I mentioned on another thread, we are We’re really happy to be launching pre-purchase of Heart of Thorns! We just want to let you know that $50 is the price of the expansion. We included the core game as a free bonus to make it easier for new players to get into it. FYI: There won’t be any other HoT editions, just so you know.”

That’s what I imagined for the upgrade with existing players…
My happy place suddenly became rainy with thunder clouds.

dude Anet has NEVER CHARGED $30.00 for a pack EVER !!!!!!! even in Guild Wars one the packs was $50.00 what in the kitten your on . you need to get off it or change it . cuase the day Anet comes out with a new pack for $30.00 will be the same day Anet gives us all 10,000 gems, and the GOP is put in jail for there lies

The heck are you even talking about. People need to realise nightfall and factions aren’t expansions and stop spreading this nonsense

ham.8209:

Weylin.6478:

Don’t you dare do it, people falling for this gouging ripoff will only justify this kind of nonsense even more in the future.

Look,
The core game is $40
The core game + expansion is $50
If you already own the core game, you still have to pay $50

How is this OK in any way?!

you never played Guild Wars one did you ;/

I don’t get this post? Factions and nightfall were campaigns like prophecies. Eotn was the only expansion

they already stated this ages ago

This doesn’t make sense to me either. There doesn’t seem to be an option for only expansion… I mean I understand you want to make it easier for new players to get into gw2 but why isn’t there ane xpansion only copy?

Dirame.8521:

Necro wins in my opinion.

I think necro belongs in a different category than the 2 you have

good random dodge rolls were annoying maybe now people will be more conservative about using dodges

We don’t know how A.I. will compensate for this change though. In some fights, two dodges isn’t enough.

This might make people switch out traits and sigils, for more vigor now. It’s just going to be a pain having to swap out builds for all these changes without any build templates. This might not be needed so we’ll just have to wait and see if it’s good or not.

Was referring to pvp. I haven’t done a dungeon/fractal in years. I don’t see the issue really the a.i is predictable

That is the entire point…

The AI is given giant AoE attacks of death that must be dodged, especially by the low health professions. Less vigour means less dodges.

I guarantee all the mobs will still be killable if this change goes through. I really don’t see the big deal. People will find alternate ways to survive dodge rolling isn’t the only way to avoid damage

From what I understand they are removing stat gains from traits and to compensate for this they are increasing stats from amulets

anet has no idea what they are doing they don’t have a basic feature that punishes people that bail on matches yet they are still trying to push for esports? Don’t even get me started on the non-sense of them making it so you have to be in hotm to queue and can not do anything else while queued. The pvp is still in beta at this point

I’ve started pvping as a necro and anytime I respawn I’m in combat for like 5 seconds or so then it goes away. I don’t play mm or took fall damage after spawning. This only seems to happen on my necro

Besetment.9187:

Most things in yolo queue I can tolerate because random goes with the territory. But every couple of days I get a match that starts 4v5 like in the attached screenshots.

I can’t for the life of me understand why this happens. Why cant the match be postponed until a 5th player joins? If there is no 5th, why can’t everyone just re-queue in Heart of the Mists?

The technology just isn’t there yet.

choovanski.5462:

three engineers with me on shout warrior was a pretty fun premade to be in. we had some pretty crazy cc chains.

anet matchmaking will continue to do dumb things like 3 thieves and ofc no players class swap for their team. learn more than one class and swap to fix your own comps. its not like anet matchmaking has been improving lol.

that doesn’t really work when you aren’t 1 of the 3 thieves

To call it “ill gained” implies they did something wrong.

They did do something wrong, they played the game the way it was created. Just like all the people banned for making chili peppers and forging rare cultural weapons back in the day.

Seriously though, don’t expect this company to take any blame on any issue or bug that arises in this game; it is obviously not their fault. I mean, they just made the game.

Blame is a funny word. It’s quite different from responsibility. But there are also times when things do happen that are beyond any individual’s control. Now those that want to blame and see things in terms of blame will look to blame.

But anyone’s who’s actually worked on a project with 300 other people, a project that has deadlines, they’ll find that it’s virtually impossible to find every bug. Bugs will get through. It’s NORMAL for bugs to get through. Most MMOs have pages of bugs on their bug list and Guild Wars 2 is no exception.

The more complex the program, the more people working on it, the more it’s going to have bugs. I have never seen an exception to this. If you want to talk about blame, go right ahead.

But it doesn’t mean that blaming people is fair, in any case.

In the case of people getting banned for exploiting bugs, that’s slightly different. People who did something a couple of times didn’t get banned. People who did it hundreds of times did.

If they can’t figure out that, say, buying something for less than everything else in the same list (that all have identical numbers) that gives them insane profit isn’t a bug, they’re probably not smart enough to play MMOs in the first place.

People who did it hundreds of times, spent an entire day just buying more of them, should be banned. And even then those that accepted a roll back, got their accounts back anyway.

The patch that introduced the hom issue came with many other bugs compared to anets previous patches this one was clearly rushed.

I don’t ever see skritt as being playable they aren’t 1 of the major races

I plan on making an alt to get mid level crafting mats on it. I’m not sure what level my character has to be when opening bags etc to get linen/cotton/etc

I’ve had this happen where me and an ally downed the enemy but I was already low health to begin with and I ended up getting downed. Then my ally left immediately and the enemies ally came. It depends on the situation to finish em immediately such as if it’s a ranger I almost always finish them or depending on where their allies are. Your best bet is to find a team with randoms you just can’t get the players you’re looking for consistently

This is matchmaking in a nutshell my 1st 3 games of the day. My conclusion there is no matchmaking. I’d honestly love to see the devs solo queue for a couple weeks and stream it

Im not saying this is you but many people who solo que are really only there to test there own builds and ideas. So you see the guy running into a 1 vs 3 situation or a guy running to a point where 1 other player is there and there build is terrible for 1 vs 1.

I find most solo que people dont understand or dont make a build that will work with other players.

Most people who test builds do that in hotjoin or unranked.

Weylin.6478:

The JPs with nothing but sticks on a cliff face are just too kitten much, I can’t take it anymore, I guess 99% map completion is ok, whatever, who needs legendaries anyhow, right? Or the last part to an achievement? Naw.

I die to these stupid things more than world bosses, that tells you something.

Normally I wouldn’t care, but when it’s necessary for map completion I do very much care.

Jumping puzzles aren’t the same as combat… Even so world bosses are laughable you can sit there auto attacking while being half afk

I don’t see why people are getting worked up about Orpheals post. Are people not entitled to their opinions? He didn’t seem to break any forum rules that I am aware of.

Bunny ears? you wanna look like a playboy bunny girl or something? as if the outfits aren’t exposing enough to make girl characters look like prostitutes, adding bunny ears will be the cherry on the top of the cake.

I think it’s more of an anime weebo thing

Most people would rather ride than walk. Don’t believe me? Leave your car/bike/horse/lear jet in the garage/driveway/barn/hangar for a week. Walk everywhere. To work, to the bank, to the grocery store, to the movies. Pretend all the waypoints are contested. Try to convince your friends, family, and co-workers to do the same. Heck, let’s reduce the time to just one day. Ready? Go!

If we had mounts, we would ride.

Let me ask you this. When was the last time you walked all the way to Citadel of Flame from LA. When’s the last time you walked into a queue’d pvp match in spvp. When’s the last time you walked into silverwastes once you unlocked the waypoint there. Oh wait…There’s that fancy word that ANET made mounts irrelevant. Waypoints.

And that’s why the game is dull.

That isn’t why the game is dull but nice try.

DirtyDan.4759:

I think people shouldn’t post their own character names.

I agree. They are usually the most bland names too

bhagwad.4281:

I honestly have no idea what Anet was thinking. Allowing team ups to play against soloers…what nonsense.

the more laughable part is the leaderboards are mixed with solo players and teams

How do you people let this dude troll you over and over like this?
