Guild Wars 2

People that say: it’s free just play it, don’t know what they are talking about.
Most people that defend this game when people ask if it’s worth coming back are biased.
There is nothing to defend.
The game is exactly the same except that we have more nerfed stuff, 2 maps the size of an average map and a few menu updates cause that’s all they are honestly. “A new tp, a new pvp menu” it’s the same function.
If you liked it before and got bored then maybe you will like it again. If you expect something different don’t come back because the game hasn’t changed, no matter what all those white knighta say.
It’s the same game. You will come back to do the same stuff you did before. Which is nice imo, but again it’s the same stuff you already did.

Gw2 is not a game that changes over time. It’s like a FF, you just play everysingle bit till you get to max level so you can explore again the same world you know.

Don’t be fooled, ls are only 30 mins updates but in the end, gw2 is NOT living story. Gw2 is tyria, and the world that you knew 2 years before.

I hope you come back. Its a fun game. But ye, it probably wont change much.

Yes it did, but the few people that still play play because of other stuff. like wvw and pvp. very few people complete complete the achievements of the new ls.

before you start crying and telling me where do i got this info:

kitten off i don’t care what you think

1. The matchmaking. It is not good. Teams are unbalanced in terms of skill level.
2. Team vs pug. This seems to be happening a lot more than the past. I thought the whole intent of this was for solo people to play together and team people to play together.
3. Lack of solo only play. I’ve yet to see 5 pugs vs 5 pugs. In the old system, I saw that all of the time in solo queue (obviously) and probably 50-75% of the time in team queue.
4. Courtyard. Due to the team vs pug issue I mentioned before, it just snowballs quickly
5. Spirit watch/skyhammer. I did team queue in the past just so that I never saw those maps. Now they are forced on me. I have 2 options: play something that isn’t fun or get dishonor. Bad choices
6. Integrated leaderboards. Will benefit team players more than solo players. There is no way to avoid that. Integrated = bad.
7. On some characters (this one for example), I can’t even queue for maps. I need to log into a different account to even play. I get some error code

Hope that helps.

Thanks. Follow up questions. Anyone else feel free to answer as well.

1) Is this something you’ve noticed primarily in one arena vs the other?
2, 3) Are you willing to wait longer for a match if it greatly reduced the odds of this happening?
7) Does it only happen on just one account, or does it just happen more frequently on that account?

I’m wiling to wait 30 minutes if I can avoid this, and I’m willing to wait 1 hour if you let me choose what map I play and what I don’t want to play. I mean, it’s a game that supposedly let’s you play the way you want, and still I’m using money for gems so that I can play 10 matchs of skyhammer in a row and loose them all because I don’t even want to try after the 3rd skyhammer in a row. Even when it gets only 1 vote it gets selected wtf? I want check boxes so that I can choose which map I want to play, not to play what other people want. I want checkboxes so that I can stare happily at my que time growing hours and wasting my free time so that I can play the map I like. I don’t care. I don’t care about the other maps. I want to play 1 map in particular or maybe 2 if I’m feeling like it, I like to wait for stuff I like so that I can enjoy it. I don’t like to try and miss, try and fail, try and suck kitten I have to play instantly without quitting a map I hate because you force me to play a map I hate and that I can’t even afk because I want to help even though I know I’m gonna loose 8 out of 10 times because I suck because I’m feeling sad, trapped because I can only spent my free time no a video game that I like a lot but never lets me play the way I want because I don’t have a checkbox that lets me choose which map to play and enjoy and have a happy time waiting while my eyes burn and do nothing with my life but I’ll know I’m waiting to do something I like with people with the same skill or at least having fun loosing because I’m playing the map I want and not some random map I hate.

yep, also almost fell asleep while doing the laberynth. so sad. thank god mmo’s aren’t known for their story but their lore and gameplay. 2 weeks for this…

what’s "DR"¿?¿¿¿?¿¿?¿?¿?¿?¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿

they make selling terrible for poor people. that’s it. people with tons of money probably don’t even notice, but if by luck you get a drop that costs 15g you will have to get only like 12g. thats sad.

I can try. In fact I was writing a response without looking at the most recent posts. The fact that I can ask about this does not guarantee that we’ll be able to answer the basic question, which I sense is “Are changes coming for this situation?” right? But yes, I can certainly see if there’s info to share.[/quote]

I appreciate you are giving some importance to this post but…
Are you saying you will ask but even though you ask you can’t tell us if you are working on it or not?
I mean, it’s been two years if you have a way to hide the hobosacks it would be awesome but it’s been two years and still you have to ask if their is info to share…
I mean the info could be: "ye mate, we have it scheduled removal of hobosacks in the next few years but since it’s not on the top of our list we can’t do it so don’t tell them anything else or tell them sorry or maybe even tell them we are working on it and we feel the pain, that will make them stop for a while mate.

hobo hobo hobo hobo hobo hobo
T_T the day I saw the new red post was the day i cried the most.
praying to all the gods out there that they really change something

It’s a cow-cat.

Well, if you roleplay or like lore defenitely choose charr cause they invented the profession or at least started using it as a form of combat. At least thats what I read on other forum posts.

I’ve been using granade hgh build with rampager stats, full ascended and so far on wvw and on pve I can melt most stuff. I do die, but not really a lot.
Is Rampager a good stat for engi?(Power, cond damage, crit chance)
I always thought it was great cause lots of conditions activate on crit and I’m happy with it.
What do you think?

P.S. Down with Hobosacks!!

This guys makes up better stuff than “you know what company i mean” in 2 years.
They should hire him and send all the others home, cause seriously exactly what he wrote is what I have been waiting for a year since I started playing not the living story scam.

I was wondering where the #1 engi NA and first rank 80! was.
so ye Vee Wee, if you say you don’t like it, you must have a very good reason.
I believe in you blindly, I trust and encourage and believe every single thing you say cause you are the best engi on the whole world!

The reason that you cannot hide the kits is that they need to be visible to other players – it’s a PvP thing.

Completely false…… Especially with Asura Engi’s.

Actually several weeks ago Josh Davis made a comment about Hobosacks on Ready Up. In effect, they didn’t want to disable hobosacks because people in PVP needed a way to identify what weapon you’re using. And until they solve that issue hobosacks won’t be going away.

Solve the issue? Like with the standardized models that they are about to implement now? Or a similar icon system as the elementalist attunements thats in the game since beta?

Its really not the matter of if they can, its a matter of them making the actual effort.

I agree 100% with you, yeah it’s not game breaker BUT engies have been asking a lot for this.
Don’t say that:" but I like it that’s just your opinion"
There are literally 2 posts on engi forum that ask for the same and in both 2 devs say they will work on it because they don’t like the hobosacks too from a year or so ago, and 1 is even older.
Even devs want hobosacks out, most of the engi community that goes on forum want them out, look at that post with 100k views.
I could keep talking, repeating the same, but tbh this is it, this is the issue.
We are not being taking seriously, probably engi community is even being ignored.
I keep saying that they don’t even tell us to go kitten ourselves.

Regina Buenaobra.6193:

Just a question here because I am curious. The idea of the Living World is that there is a storyline that you take part in, that you are involved in events that shape Tyria in permanent ways—how would you all convey the sense of progression and change without also making changes to the landscape? I see a couple of comments regarding creating things, not simply destroying. Do you all have any other ideas?

Make new maps and put your living story on new maps.

Hobosacks are horrible, I agree with myself.

ColinJohanson.2394:

It’s something we’re absolutely aware of and want to address in the future, one of my main characters is an engineer so I feel ya on this one. My poor quaggan backpack is visible like 2% of the time I play as I kit swap, never mind my weapon skins.

We’re currently focusing our engineering (programmers, not guys with net guns) resources that could work on solutions to issues like kits/skins on major systems that address issues higher priority and wider reaching like lag in large battles, LFG, custom arenas, spectator mode and so on but this issue is absolutely on our radar.

As always, please post your ideas of what you’d like to see solution wise, we love to see the fun ideas y’all come up with too!

Wow, about a year ago.
It would have been understandable a couple of months but come on.
Stop promising things you don’t intent to do.

my dear engies, please go to this post and keep it on top page! it’s a page where devs usually answer only if a post has lots of views and replies (or so it seems).
people are actually agreeing with it on that subforum so don’t waste this oportunity to seize anet and destroy the Hobosacks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It didn’t need fixing.

True it doesn’t but lots of people don’t like it and probably the majority would like to have something to hide it or completely gone.
You can say that you like it and that’s perfectly fine, no problem, but still it’s one of those really few things that people can proof that you are on the minority.
There’s posts about hobosacks on every feature update and every once in a while on other sub forums and let’s not forget the longest post that has been on the first page for almost 2 years now on engi forum.
I mean, if you main engi you probably don’t like that they updated minis and finishers and still there hasn’t been a response from any dev about hobo sacks for more than a year.

Yeah, that great and fine. I know people don’t like them. But if he’d wanted to have a discussion about it then he could have had one like an adult instead of changing my post.

And for the record, I seem to be in a minority for just about everything in this game. I’ve made my own niche!

Ye sorry xd, I just want to keep this on first page so hopefully some dev will answer and say how stupid I am or something. IDK hobosacks are definitely worth it.

I’ve been waiting for this since I got to lvl 20 on my engi.
That was like a year ago, and by that time the post on engi front page was 9 months old.

The other features are nice and all, but engi community asks for hobbosack fix/botton to hide for a long time now and anet doesn’t even say: kitten you we keeping it. They just don’t comment.
That’s dissapointing.
I don’t even care if attacks don’t have effects or anything, I just want to see my weapons and backs.

Fix hobbosacks for engi pls!

Please MTV pimp my ride!!!!!

Sorry for bad english, it’s not my mother tongue.

Xenon.4537:

I actually like the backpacks, but I’m just silly…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ye there are more than 8 thousand replies on the engi forum from which there should be at least a thousand good reasons why they should be removed
also the idea is not to remove them completely but to make a botton or something that lets you display it if you like it (for people like you) or to make them “invisible” and to be able to show our legendaries or equipment.

I don’t know what to say, it’s biggest post on this forums and not even an answer saying “nothing will be changed” is said. anything is better than staying quiet.

hi all

what runes should I use now ?
I’m using a cond granade build.
Can’t play a lot so I need advice on which runes could be better for this type of build
any opinion or commentary (including trolls and insults) is appreciated

EDIT: I forgot I will use that build on pve (: ):

Ty for answering so quickly, I hope they can make it work on ranked matches soon or maybe make another map so we can play team deathmatch soon

A good idea would be that if they leave, the team with less people gets buffed with something, like toughness or something.
I think that would be fair for the team with less people, or making the team with less people get points 1/5 faster if they are on a 4v5 and a 2/5 if on a 3v5

Hello, hope you are doing great.
As the title says, my question is about the new map.

Will you be able to choose to only play on this map for tournaments/ranked matches?
That would be great since it’s a new game mode and I would love to play only team deathmatch or 1 vs all or whatever without having to worry that my next match will be on a capture point map.

It doesn’t have to be this way allways, I mean you could do normal random map or only choose to play this map.
Thank you for reading and answering.

(You can troll if you want or even call me names, I wont mind.)

Josh Davis.6015:

So, let’s say we wanted to look into decap engineer, where would we start? I’ve heard a few different opinions on the topic, and I have a few opinions of my own as someone who has played against decap in top 100 rated solo/team arena games and also played the build myself.

In the same way that it was difficult to look at the September ’13 Hambow warrior and point out a single specific key to its strength, I think decap engineer is much the same.

I think it’s important to understand the areas in our game where decap engineer is strong, and then go from there:

• Conquest
  • Situations where communication is difficult (solo arena)
  • Against teams that have difficulty rotating appropriately

So, with the above in mind, what are some ‘low-hanging fruit’ type of suggestions for changing the way decap engineer works, without affecting existing builds unrelated to decap? That is to say, suggestions that would not require significant amounts of development time to implement.

We’ve already seen a few threads on PW, so I’ll focus on decap for now. ^^

You are planning to change engi (for good mostly) when played against other classes when literally there are 3 post on the engi sub-forum where you have ignored the kit problems and how you have not given us our 5% boost that makes us 10 % weaker than any of the ther classes on pve and WvW.
You are starting to plan ways on how to nerf engis because you’ve played against 1 build and loose when there are builds that have been on the meta for months and only until now you are planning to change because only until now you’re hearing the community.
I mean, what do I know, any statement I make will offend you and my comment will e erased and my account will be terminated but still, this is really unfair against the small 10% engi community that you’ve ignred for 18 months and now you will nerf.

Because its easier for them to do it once, and probably NA makes them more money than EU so why waste time?

Can I use 2 superior sigils of strenght at the same time and both be in effect?

¿.When you’re on a 4v5 or 3v5 you have a command that lets you quit the game without being dishonorable because you’re losing by 200 points against rank 50’s or more and you are a rank 10 team.

Welcome to Guild Wars 2, a game made for casuals that gives you no opportunity to get your gear unless you’re a hardcore player and it still manages to ignore their community for 1.5 years.

Same for me, MASSIVE lag from Costa Rica, it’s unplayable, it’s not even fun to be on any of the camps because even conversations take like 5 secs to appear.
This patch kittened it all for me, and I even made some posts but then again, anet probably will ignore this and tell everyone that replied this posts to check your firewalls, so yeah not worth it.
Server: Fissure of Woe

As the title says, there are some posts suggesting this, and since you guys seem too busy fixing other things which I guess that it’s obviously neccesary and important and needed now, I guess I should leave for the reason that you don’t seem to care about that small community that is affected every time you make a patch and how the performance of the game works.
You guys made a wonderful game, and just recently I understood I can’t hate you because I see you guys (devs) are just kids having fun and enjoying your work.
So yeah, thank you for everything, it was incredible, but I’m just sick of having to wait to enjoy a game which I have invested lots of money and time on it.

Yes I have MASSIVE lag too, I even put everything on low settings and it doesn’t change anything. I made another post too but it was buried really fast since this it was the first day of the patch and lots of people give their opinions about the patch.
I wish I could be one of those people that are either congratulating or complaining, but I can’t because of the lag.

As the title says I’ve been having extreme lag, it’s not just fps (although it drops and is worst than before) but still, when I attack my character takes like 3 seconds to understand the command and actually do anything, and it’s not just on LA, its on all maps.

Please help?
If it’s the patch please fix it, if not help me.

They are on lowest setting and I repeat, it’s not that much of fps problem, but just that my actions take a LONG time to be accomplished. I’ve never had this problem before, I thought it was someone using the internet at my house but it’s 3am and everyone is sleeping xD. And this is only happening because of patch.

-Im looking for a team.
Ím pretty bad, I just want to play and have fun I don’t care about winning because I almost never win.

Have more than 45% winning I believe but ye.

Hello.

As the title says I’ve been having problems to log in since monday, or at least since the day when the servers had problems for a couple of hours.

I don’t know if it is that the problem exists or my computer so I wanted to ask if anyone else has been having problems logging in?

1) Engineer
2)Elementalist
3)Ranger

I agree with this completely, since I’m an engineer and just made quip.
Its a great gun, but the fact that when I use a kit ALL the effects dissappear is depressing. Also the foltsteps dissappear really fast when you compare them to kutzu’s or any of the greatswords.

I like it, but what would you need to do to get it O.o? and also if they added this title they need to add one like this to all classes. would be cool though.

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing great this day.

I just wanted to ask how does the quip effects work on the granade kit, since I see that very rarely the party papers and all that stuff pops when I use the kit.

I see, only toolbelt, and do you guys know if we will get more effects on an upcoming update or when the next legendaries appear?

Now, let’s say I have 2 Quips, does the aura or the footsteps increase or it stays the same? Because I’m really planning of making another one.

No news yet, guess we will be ignored again for another 9 months.
How exciting ^^, not even a reply from any dev.
:D

New mode, I don’t care about new maps.
I just want a death match type of game on all maps instead of capturing points.
Still any new mode would be refreshing.

I approve this post.

I know some of you like a lot the modes we have now, but I just want to know if we are ever getting new modes like normal player versus player were the only objective is to kill the other player. That’s it, that’s all I have to ask.

It’s been nine months since the dev response. Let’s face it, they don’t care about engineers. They just throw a bone to the engineer community to chew a bit while they focus on other classes. And Personally I don’t care nor check other forum classes but possibly they have about 3 classes that they attend while the others are just nerfed slowly or ignored. But whatever what do I know.
