IF WoW had come out with an Emerald Dream expansion I would have played it. I’m not interested in MoP and I don’t like where they are taking the game with it. But I know there are plenty of people who still really enjoy WoW and there’s nothing wrong with that. You should play a game that you find fun. For me, it’s GW2 and it’s the only game that I’m playing at the moment.
On Monday I expect them to fix the problems with the dungeons and other misc bugs. If we get some new content this early after release, it will be a bonus as far as I am concerned.
Things I’m hoping for in the future:
Kodan and Tengu playable races
An instance similar to what we had in GW1 with Sorrow’s Furnace or Domain of Anguish or Underworld etc. Basically it was like doing hard mode quests with a larger group in an instanced area. I think that would be a lot of fun, not take anything away from what GW2 is trying to be and give the raiders, who keep asking for a larger group, something to do.
I just wanted to say thank you to ArenaNet. Over the last few days I have been playing I have noticed a dramatic decrease in the number of gold spammers I’ve seen. Also, since I’ve been reporting and then blocking the gold spammers I have seen, not one of them has shown up as being on line on my block list. It’s so nice to know that Anet is working hard to get rid of these annoying gold sellers. =)
so adding a few features that would make the game better is making it like wow . Ok i see your logic there . I hope they dont add authenticators , would make the game to like WOW. What next pandas ?
We won’t get pandas (thank goodness) but maybe someday we’ll get Kodan.
Tengu plis
I’m personally hoping for both. =)

hmm I don’t know about that one but I know that 1hand sword (#2 skill) gives you a teleport. I’m having a blast with it on my baby guardian.

I don’t really think they should give the dungeon exotic set pieces at the end of each run. Maybe a random exotic. I could see maybe if you completed all of the paths, on the final boss on your last path, you’d get a piece of the set. I also think you should have to run the dungeons a few times to collect tokens. Otherwise you’ll have people finishing the dungeons in 6 runs saying how bored they are with nothing to do.
Oh I dunno. The part where you fly through the air and splat on top of the tower is pretty darn funny.
Interesting statistics! I would have thought the Dungeon forum section would have been the most unhappy considering how much they’ve been complaining about some broken mechanics.
Also surprised about Ranger. I have a lot of fun with mine but I also don’t pvp.
I disagree with the OP. I’ve definitely gotten my monies worth out of the game. And I believe that it is different enough from the other games out there. Yes there are similarities but the fact that they bring all the good things into one game is what makes it special.
Personally, I’m glad they don’t have phased zones like WoW had because that made it a pain if you needed to get someone to help you. You couldn’t because they weren’t at the same point in progression so they couldn’t even see your character at times. While the changes you make in GW2 aren’t permanent, at least it doesn’t prevent you from playing with others.
It’s their group. They have a right to make whatever demands they want. You have the right to make another group without those demands.
A lot of people are frustrated with the DR and the rewards from dungeons. They seem to come here to vent that frustration. Anet is hopefully going to fix some of that with Monday’s patch. Keep your fingers crossed it works.
Perhaps it would be better to suggest they replace recoloring of the players armor with a colored tabard or cape. Tabards might be easier to see than capes.
While there are a whole lot of goldsellers in China, not every Chinese player is a gold seller.
Remove the level reduction when moving from area to area.

I highly doubt they will even consider that considering it’s one of the core elements of the game.
The block feature works fine for me. I think it must be bugged for you. I’d submit a ticket on it and see what happens.
I have a level 80 character and I haven’t even found the exotic level 80 armor Karma vendors. Where are they? If they are all hiding out in Orr it would explain why I haven’t found them yet. I’ve been waiting to do that area until I catch up in my story.
It’s to your benefit to explore the map because you get some very nice rewards for doing so (items, crafting materials, gold and a lot of xp). It sounds like you are missing out on a lot of Dynamic Events. The questing system isn’t just the hearts, it’s the Dynamic Events too.
The anti grind thing bugs me but it’s the only complaint I have with the game. I decided I could either accept the things in GW2 that bug me and continue to play or I can choose to play another game. Regardless of which decision I had made, it was $70 well spent.
Even though I have a level 80 character, I haven’t hit boredom mode yet. I keep thinking of more things that I can do. And I have sooooo many achievement left to max out.
The game doesn’t tell you, here’s what you do at end game. It lets you make that decision for yourself. I don’t understand the people who say the game isn’t fun, or the controls are clunky or whatever complaint they have. I honestly just think the game isn’t for them. And that’s ok. It’s why there are so many different games on the market. Everyone’s idea of fun is a little bit different. I personally can’t stand FPS games but I know a lot of people love them. It’s ok to not like the game.
Wow, it sounds like you accomplished quite a bit. I’d say that $60 was worth it for that much entertainment, wouldn’t you? The nice thing about this game is there is no sub fee. What does that mean to you? Well, it means you have the freedom to go play other games while you wait for ArenaNet to bring out more content. And then you can go back and play the content. Plus you never have to feel like you are being left behind because there is no gear treadmill. They’ve created the perfect game to play alongside other games. For some of us (even those of us who put in crazy hours in the game) there’s enough to do to keep us busy until the next content update.
As a side note: once they fix the bugs with the drops in the explorer dungeons, people will go back to playing them. Then we will see a lot fewer topics like this one.
Dynamic Events scale according to how many people are around them. So if no one is there to help, you can do them solo.
Yes, you can also solo champions. They just take a lot longer to kill and require a little bit more skill.
It’s easily obtained
Good news for you is you an be in more than one guild at a time. You can only represent one at a time though. (Basically that just means you can only earn influence and talk to one guild at a time but you can switch between them.) I’d suggest finding another guild that does some of the explorer mode dungeons and join them too.
A few simple questions for you:
Have you finished your personal story?
Did you complete all the map areas?
Have you found and tried out the jumping puzzles?
The dungeons… have you done them yet? I’d recommend joining a guild and tackling explorer mode dungeons with them. Story mode is the easier. But explorer mode you will need actual teamwork and planning to complete. It might be what you are looking for. Keep in mind, though, that dungeon rewards are currently bugged and you might not see much for your effort right now. Anet is working on a fix for it.
Make sure that you have updated your drivers for the video card.
You probably should add another 2gb ram. I have 4gb on mine and it runs fine with an AMD processor and a bit older graphics card.
This probably should have been in the Tech Support section… you’d get better answers there.

It really is often better to simply kill the mobs around the person than to actually attempt to rez. As a ranger, I can put my pet in to help grab the aggro, put up a healing circle and attempt to rez someone. Sometimes I have to stop mid rez and back out of it to prevent dying. You can stop rezzing someone, just jump or hit your back keys and it will pull you out of it.

Aha! Thank you. I’m going to bookmark the page so that when they do implement it, I can then download and install it. =)
Hmm, tried that. They don’t list a PC version.

Unless I’m just not looking for the right thing… looks like it’s all mobile applications.
Welcome to the forums. Apparently my profession, Ranger, is broken too. But I’m having a blast with it. Overall I love this game and have made it my main MMO. It’s just so addictive and a lot of fun. I have some complaints (bugs and the like) but I know Anet is working on them.
While I appreciate that Anet wants to help us make our accounts more secure, they shouldn’t force us into buying extra products ( I don’t have any apple devices) for account authentication… unless of course they want to buy it for me. Mobile Authenticators et al should be optional, not mandatory.

This is so strange about the FoV thing. I can scroll my wheel back so far and see a lot around me. Only occasionally will the camera get close to my character depending on what’s in the way. I guess I’d have to see a screenshot or video of this to understand what people are complaining about.
I hope they fix the bug soon. It’s causing people to leave the game. =(
Wanted to add that once you hit 80 it doesn’t seem to matter where you go. After a bit, stuff just stops dropping. Even when you try to wait it out it seems like you are still stuck not getting very many drops off anything. Or maybe I’m just having really bad luck in general.
I decided to go finish out my personal story and hope that the bug gets fixed.

Hmm what could they do with endgame?
Add some more level 80 zones
Add something like Sorrows Furnace, Underworld, Fissure of Woe etc
Add in light, medium and heavy armor Legendary PvE sets (just for looks, not with increased stats)
Give the PvP’ers the dueling and Arenas they’ve been asking for
Level 80 Ranger.
Rangers are just really easy to solo play because of the pet (bears).
It does make it annoying when you are farming materials for crafting because only specific level monsters drop the loot. And you have to go to specific level areas to get it. If it’s low level, not too bad because there are a lot of low level zones. Higher level areas (70+) you are limited to where you can go. So you end up running into the code or you end up buying stuff off the trading post because it’s faster and less annoying that way.
This is my only complaint so far and I think once we get additional level 70-80 zones it won’t be quite so bad.
I haven’t seen one on Tarnished Coast yet. I’ll keep an eye out for these mythical creatures.
I can definitely understand why they would want to play on their own personal account.
I know there was an anti botting code in GW1 but this one seems to be worse. At least then if you had fewer drops you could blame it on your heroes and henchmen. I’m wondering if it’s bugged and not working quite as intended.
There are just so many things in this game that make me stop and go “oh wow” or make me laugh. I love the exploration and adventure. My favorite is still the dragon flying through my vista while I was viewing it and then getting to kill him minutes later… that was priceless.
I feel bad about killing Skritt.
The anti-farming code does get frustrating when you are trying to gather materials to level up your crafting skills. I’m just making level 80 rare armor and having a difficult time gathering stuff. I am somewhat dreading what I’ll have to do to get exotics.
More level 70 – 80 or 80 zones would definitely help alleviate this problem.

GW2 has spoiled me. Funny thing is I was looking forward to MoP. And then I started playing the GW2 beta weekend events and WoW just wasn’t the same. So I’ve cancelled my WoW subscription and I won’t be getting MoP.
I report bugs when I find them and move on. Later, when they are fixed, I go back and do whatever it was that was bugged. It really hasn’t been a huge problem for me. I understand that this game is still a baby and Anet is working on fixing issues.
Patience, my friend. If you are that bothered by the bugs, take a break and come back in a few weeks.
How long is the event going to last or is that up in the air depending on how many show up? I don’t think I’ll make the start of it but I might pop by to hear a story or two.
This has been the only MMO I’ve played where I’ve actually enjoyed playing in the lower level areas on a higher level character. I hope they don’t change the down-leveling at all.
I have been doing a few of them just for the adventure, challenge and fun of it. And because it’s something to do with guildies. But the only dungeon I plan on doing for armor is Twilight Arbor because I really like that medium armor set. I think it would be perfect for my Sylvari Ranger.
I know there’s Legendary PvE weapons and also Legendary PvP Armor. I’m just curious if we might see Legendary PvE armor in the future or if there already is some I’m not aware of.
I wouldn’t mind seeing more areas to explore, regardless of level. I also know there are some who would like larger party instances. But before they add all that new stuff, I’d just like them to fix the leftover bugs in the game. They are doing a good job so far of getting things done.
Breaking Story: The volcano, Mt Roflstomp, erupted earlier today on the tiny island of Wedge sending its citizens fleeing the mass destruction.
Well over 200 hours since head start. Even so I consider myself a casual. Let me give you my definition of Hardcore and Casual. A hardcore player, to me, is someone who constantly runs dungeons (or raids) to get the best available gear in the game and maxes out his character using that min/max mumbo jumbo spreadsheet calculation stuff that I just don’t get. A casual is a person who, regardless of the amount of time spent in the game, plays it just for fun. I might run through a dungeon, or I might work on my crafting, or I might explore. But I’m not trying to be the best of the best of the best in the game.
If you think it’s too expensive, you can always use your in game gold to buy the gems. It might take a while, but the extra character slots would be free if you do it that way.
