Random guess:
Venus and Mars? Tyria is really earth in a long distant time?
You paid your money, your got your time, they owe you nothing, so don’t complain.
That’s a solid path to developing a better game. Mmhmm.
To want folks to stop “whining” or to construct better arguments in support of their opinions is certainly admirable. But to imply that having a complaint is not justified or worth raising is unrealistic.
The thing is, people are treating this like its a sub game, where they are actually paying the company to do what they want so they can play something they enjoy. But its not, you pay once and then thats it, like a console game. People still complain about console games but nowhere near as much and developers almost never actually change the game because of these complainers. Anet shouldn’t have to either.
EDIT: And yes, I know they have already given into complaints with this new tier, but they should not have, and they should not continue to, stick to one path and dont change it. Don’t listen to the whiners, when they are not paying you money to listen to them whining.
Complaints should be taken into consideration for different/further games, not the current game.

Yes its new gear, yes it might be a gear treadmill. No it is not at the moment, especially because they said the infusion slot is limited to the Ascended gear for now. They can and hopefully will add this power boost to normal gear down the line, making it on par with the dungeon gear.
It IS a gear treadmill, it IS, right now. That’s how it works. There’s a Best Tier of gear, and then, a few months later — there’s a new Best Tier of gear.
That has just happened, and the blog post said it’s just the beginning of their gear progression. GW2 is now a gear treadmill game.
They said it would not be, promised it wasn’t going to have vertical gear progression. Now it does.
They won’t add the infusion slot to normal gear later, what they will do later is add gear more powerful than Ascended gear. That’s a gear treadmill. That’s how it works.
Or do you think the people who were crying that exotics were too easy to get will he happy? 2 months from now? After they have all the newest Best Tier of gear, do you honestly think they won’t cry about not having new gear to chase? THAT’S WHAT THEY DO! They cry in Pandacraft about running out of progression, you think they won’t here?
So what happens? Well, at this point, it’s not even a big deal. Anet has introduced gear progression, so now it’s here, so now when that happens it’s not as big of a deal to introduce Extra-Ascended gear in their Valentine’s Day patch.
And suddenly I’m playing a kitteny game that I never wanted to play again, and suddenly I’m only being rewarded for running the newest dungeons, not the ones that I have been doing for kicks (I am and have been in entirely exotics, I do them because it’s entertaining and because I DON’T HAVE TO).
I got this game because I was promised this garbage would NOT be here.
Other people got this game and were angry because there wasn’t gear progression, despite its absence being a pretty big point.
So now we’ve got people who followed the game and were excited about what the game was going to be — they’re getting kitten on.
And the people who just bought a new game and want it to be like every other MMO they’ve played (and quit)? They’re getting rewarded.Makes sense! Rather than go your own way, be the ONE AND ONLY MMO on the market that doesn’t make you grind dungeons for endgame gear.. Anet has decided that they’ll be happy just eating Panda scraps.
Disgraceful.
Do you know ANet’s plans? Do you work for them? Prove to me that in the future they are going to add more tiers. Prove to me that they wont add them to older gear. Prove to me that you are right and that I am not.
You cannot, because no one can know the future. So shut up, stop whining and either play the game or leave this board because we do not need all you whiners. You paid your money, your got your time, they owe you nothing, so don’t complain.
I too am looking forward to this new content.
I don’t get all the whiners, my guildies included.
You paid $60 for an mmo, something that would usually cost you that again in just 4 months. If you havnt gotten $60 worth of content in the time it takes you to reach this new content, then you have some pretty high standards.
Yes its new gear, yes it might be a gear treadmill. No it is not at the moment, especially because they said the infusion slot is limited to the Ascended gear for now. They can and hopefully will add this power boost to normal gear down the line, making it on par with the dungeon gear.
If you are still unhappy, well then go be unhappy, you paid your money, you got your experience, you played their game. You are not paying them any more money so don’t tell them what they should do, it is their game and they can do what they want with it.
Personally, I still think the game will be fun, and I will still play it, but if you want to leave because of this “treadmill” be my guest, just stop going to message boards and complaining. Those of us who want to play the game will, we dont want to hear your whining.

I am not sure where, though I think it might have been dulfy, but there will apparently be plenty of content for all levels and while its a one time event, its just the opening of the new area thats the one time weekend event. The new area will still be around after this, it just wont be part of the opening event anymore.
agreed here, its not much now, but it will get very messy over events, especially for ones that we have bought from the stores that we cant get again for free.
Oh ok, the description doesnt mention collectables not going into storage, so I didnt realise this. Thanks Dai
As the title says,
can we please get bag types that allow you to store collectables that wont get deposited when you hit deposit all?
It gets really annoying to have my mini go into storage whenever i need to clear room.

Ok guys,
so I have created playlists for each section, such as MainMenu, Crafting, etc
And in, for example, MainMenu, I have put the song This is halloween, for obvious reasons.
However, it doesnt play, and niether does any other music.
Any idea why this might happen? its an mp3 file and a wpl playlist.

I, too, support this suggestion, first person mode please
I am not going to read through 3 pages of this, but on the first page of the topic neighbourhoods were mentioned. Well we know guildhalls are coming, why not turn these into guild neighbourhoods?
They can be instanced to the guild and you can invite others in of course, and all of the neighbourhoods can have the same entrance to avoid clutter, or 5 entrances I guess, probably one in each City/Starter Area.
This way each guild member can show their own flair while still giving the safe haven and enclosed space that a guild hall entails.
Thoughts?
Heya all,
So heres the problem I am finding, I am looking forward to redoing the maps, due to having renowns to distract me from going point to point, which gets boring.
However, in the cities, on my second character, all I am doing is going from one point to the next, I have already explored these areas and so there is nothing to distract me from repetitive and boring this can get.
I know one of the reasons for not having renowns in cities is because they usually involve fighting, for those who like to clear them by fighting, rather then other activities, and the cities are meant to be the safe areas free from fighting.
But surely renowns can be created or something similar to break up the monotony of going point to point for the second, third, fourth etc times through the game.
Feel free to to add suggestions guys,
Rurik
Well its strange because i have seen at least two instances where the word wasnt in the original post, but was in the quoted post
Elsdragon is right, you do get different results from jumping then moving and moving then jumping.
But if you think some of the earlier ones are bad, there is a really obnoxious one called Vizier’s Tower in The Straits of Devastation. For the most part is really easy and obvious, but then you get to the top of the jumping puzzle and get the achievement and you notice there is still a vista and skill point above you.
Have to jump onto a tiny piece of coral and then jump higher up the coral before finally getting to the top of the tower. It wouldnt be so bad if you didnt have to do as much every time you miss the coral.
Am I seeing things or is this some new meme or bug I am unaware of?
Anet has said in a forumn post, though I don’t remember where, that they would be doing seasonal events again, starting with halloween this year. So lets all look forward to one hell of a party to start off the seasonal celebrations.
Personally, I am hoping to see Mad King Thorn appear once more. We all know we loved his punny jokes.
Actually, from personal experience earlier in the week, I wholeheartedly agree with this. I, by chance, found that I was missing a skill point in Caledon Forest that had been bugged when I was there. If I hadnt been doing the jumping puzzle at the time and noticed that my map wasnt complete, I would have been left searching all my zones when I completed the WvW map a couple of days ago.
Yes, I did say that you could log out and back in, but as Replect added, its not very user friendly, and not everyone would think to do that. It certainly isnt important, but especially for those who are aiming for world completion and need to only grab a couple of points before getting back to what they were doing, it becomes a bit of a hassle to log out and in every time your team gets some more ground.
Hey there,
I would like to suggest that there be an option, when in WvW, to return to where you entered WvW from, rather then just LA. I am often in the middle of questing(cursed shore at the moment) when the queue lets me in, and the only way I have found to get back to cursed shore without going through LA, and thus having to pay a waypoint fee, is to log out and log back in.
Could we please get an option added in to return us to where we were? The system is obviously in place, seeing as how when you log out and log in you go back to where you were, I would just like a button for it so that we dont have to log out.

Because I am lazy and do a lot of crafting, I second this. It gets annoying having to go between huntsman station and trading post every time i need to get more materials.
Hey all,
Up until a couple of hours ago tonight, including all betas, I have played without a hitch.
As of this last update, anytime I go near dredge in dredgehaunt cliffs, I end up lagging so bad that it is unplayable. I died at least 4 times this way, where I thought I was still alive and running away, but the game thinks im standing still and dying.
I am running core i5, 6550M with 8gig ddr3 if that helps.
I am playing on lowest settings to try and mitigate said lag, but it doesnt help.
This is more letting you know of the issue then looking for an answer. Please find out why this is happening quickly.
