Guild Wars 2

Click Wars 2. I don’t know why anyone thinks constant clicking is fun in a game. Or having a million different junks. Or those bags in a bag in a baginception.

I definitely feel like it’s decreased.

I don’t find it difficult either.

Difficult would be attacks are randomized, and not given in a predictable pattern.

Adventures Wars 2

I wish raiding and other contents were as hard as the adventures and some Jumping puzzles lol.

I don’t think they need changes, some people enjoy the difficulty.

The shinies are not made to be easily obtainable for casuals… that’s the bottomline… or people who dont’ care to grind.

I would say i’m pretty hardcore player, but i dont care much for these grindfests. Rather be doing something i love doing.

1 & 3 are really good idea. Video games need to be more color blind friendly.

Diovid.9506:

Dryads come close, as Flesh Wound points out, but I’d actually argue the Sidhe come closer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aos_S%C3%AD

Specifically the whole Seelie / Unseelie court thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classifications_of_fairies#Seelie_and_Unseelie_Courts

Hmm, I like this answer as well and can totally see the correlation between Seelie Court and Nightmare court in GW2.

Nothing so fancy. The original was basically a loli-hentai elf in a tinkerbell dress:

Somebody over there who DIDN’T watch anime and play D&D obviously saw it at some point and said “what the cat is this kitten?” and they decided to ‘un-kitten this puppy’…

So basically you don’t have any fancy inspiration. Rather you have somebody being put on a fiasco project to ‘un-mess-it-down’… who then just ran with the ‘plant’ theme in various iterations until they found the right balance between plant and ‘iconicly identifiable’ so that players would feel comfortable playing it.

Around launch ArenaNet was touting it as a new original concept for a race, never before done in the history of fantasy. Somebody was THAT unaware of mythology to not even have heard of a Dryad. Let alone that the Sylvarri we have today, has been a playable race in table-top RPGs since the late 1970s and the game Runequest, where this race is what they call ‘elf’ (as such Runequest took a major popularity hit with D&D fans who were looking for something hentai-like).

(I used to be a 12-year old boy, decades ago, so I remember that reaction to their plant-elf…)

Interesting!
Thanks for the insightful answers, everyone.

They’re all fun, and all classes have the ability to go melee or ranged. All classes can heal, tank and dps.

That’s what I love about GW2, is the diversity of the classes. (Of course, some classes heal better than others, but all classes have the ability to heal).

Just choose the one that is most appealing to you.

I mean in MMO, I usually like to play healer, but I kind of hate healing on GW2 lol… not gonna lie. It’s more challenging to heal in GW2.

Warrior and revenants are fun, but you don’t have to think most of the times. If you want a class where you need to think and be on your feet, mesmer and elementalists are my choice.

I mean the 4g per boss can remain a weekly thing. But at least give us some kind of items/rewards for doing it daily???

Cuz while I love raiding, there’s no incentives for me to raid after getting the weekly done… (except when I’m helping out my guilds).

How would your ultimate raid boss mechanics work?

This is how I would design the ultimate most challenging raid boss:

1. Using the disappearing platform from Thaumanova Fractals boss. The disappearing floors would be completely randomized

2. There will also be static labyrinth (from aetherblade retreat fractals) also completely randomised and invulnerable doesn’t work, it’ll stun you and take away half your health

3. Final phase, there will be AoE (like Lupi’s phase 2 aoes) that you can’t reflect along with disappearing floors and static labyrinth.

That’s my ultimate Raid boss.

How would your design your Ultimate raid boss?

I hate jumping puzzles. Especially the diving goggle aetherblade one.

However, I actually love this winter jp, I don’t know why. It just looks nice, and it’s amusing to see people fall off.

It is a no grind, if you don’t want the shinies.

Just play the aspects of the game you want to play…

Can you guys make a raid a daily event, and not a weekly event?

Cuz I have no motivation to log on to GW2 after getting the weekly reward after the reset…

I bought HoT because I thought they were going to improve WvW, but instead they made it worse! Much much worse, like x1000 worse.

They should just revert all the WvW maps to the old maps, because the new ones are a ghost town.

Raid is the only redeemable thing right now, but even that is getting boring and the weekly reset does not help its case, I’m eagerly awaiting Wing 2.

Yeah, I don’t understand why we need to type out things we don’t need…?

This is a good idea.

I totally agree, the lfg for Dungeon is a ghost town. GG Anet.

I hope whoever designs these hairstyles are not real life hairdressers…

I mean… WTF is this?

Silurians (Doctor Who)

or

Piccolo (DragonBall Z)?

Whatever you guys do, please please don’t nerf raids, it’s like already becoming too easy for me…

After sylvaris and asuras, chaks have to be the ugliest things in the game. I do not want to wear their skin.

Why would you want it? lol
The skin doesn’t even look great…

And yeah, I think they still drop. If I can get it, i’m pretty sure anyone could get it. Since I never get good loots.

Maybe the gaming experience might be totally different…

But me just looking at WoW’s graphic makes me not want to touch it. I’m pretty shallow in that sense, I need the graphics to be in with today’s standards.

I’ve finally killed all three raid bosses today, phew.

But I gotta say, even though Sabetha was the hardest and took me like 2 weeks to kill (not on an individual basis, but more of a “need other people to stay alive” basis), I still feel more satisfied after killing VG.

That’s why you don’t buy off LFG.

Farm them yourself and/or use the Trading Post. You want to save time, you accept the consequences.

I honestly have no idea, besides grinding like a robot.

And I don’t like that kind of play. I need to do what I love doing in the game, at the moment is raiding… I don’t even get any gold from doing it besides the 4g weekly lol. Being forced to grind boring maps for gold is not my style.

I also tried to do “TP flipping” one time, because I heard people made 1k in a day from flipping stuffs. But for me, I lost like 10g from flipping stuffs… lol… I just suck at that sort of thing.

Just beat TD meta twice in a row… people are getting better, I guess.

I don’t really think gear/food matter. The fewer people are downed, the faster the kill.

I second this. Get rid of the clunky stuff on the top right corner… Don’t need to know about English as a second language league.

Client Crash Wars 2

Constant Patching Wars 2

I unlocked the inventory space thinking it was account wide like 3 years ago… only to find out it’s single character… that really annoyed me.

I’m getting 0kb/sec.

GG, anet.

They should have just taken my suggestion and let us mix and match outfit with armor skins…

I don’t support this idea because adding a “lower” difficulty to anything in GW2 means literally NOBODY will do the “harder” difficulty.

Just look at Tangled Depths meta for example, literally nobody does them any more. Yet Auric Basin and Dragon’s Stand meta are always full on several maps.

I LIKE this one setting; because it forces people to do them, therefore I can find groups easily.

Aren’t you in a sense answering the call to have the content made easier? As you say if given a choice almost no one wants the “Hard Content” so they are forced to grind.

I guess by using this you are saying the majority of players prefer to not have to grind. Shouldn’t the majority be the group ArenaNet tries to appease?

Well yes…

But look at it this way, the ENTIRE content of GW2 is easy, even most things in HoT are easy. So ANET does indeed cater to people who want easy things.

Why does raid have to be catered to those people though? It’s just one thing that is not easy and people want it to be made easy… I don’t get it.

1. Fashion Wars 2

2. Click Wars 2

3. Spam auto 1 Wars 2

4. ESL Wars 2

5. Other

I don’t even understand why people are saying raids are impossible for low skilled players.

IT’s not even that hard. On an individual level, it’s pretty easy; the bosses don’t do that much dmg compared to pre-HoT level 50 fractals bosses. It’s making sure everyone does their part right, that’s the hard part, and the fun part.

So yes, casuals can absolutely do this raid. I think some people just want to be spoonfed and/or watch TV while autoattacking on 1. Why bother playing MMO?

When I don’t have experience for something, I just make a group that says, “Learning group this raid”… You’d be surprised how many people want/need to learn.

Don’t need to come on forum asking for devs to lower challenging content because of “exclusivity”.

I don’t support this idea because adding a “lower” difficulty to anything in GW2 means literally NOBODY will do the “harder” difficulty.

Just look at Tangled Depths meta for example, literally nobody does them any more. Yet Auric Basin and Dragon’s Stand meta are always full on several maps.

Getting the Tyria mastery points was torture for me. I tried to do the Dive Master and Going for Gold too. And had to give up mid way because the jumping puzzles became incredibly STUPID.

I just camped Tequatl and Triple Trouble Wurm achievements instead, and got my final 2 points that I needed for Tyria.

WAYYYYYYYY easier than doing those stupid jumping puzzles that waste time and ruin your mind.

And I wouldn’t have to do them if ANET would fix the fractal weapon mastery point… sigh.

I wondered the same thing too. I miss having the 1 spirit shard from leveling up.

Is ANET going to do something about this…? Or are lvl163 people stuck with 0/0 and exp going to waste…? Why bother rewarding us exp if we’re not going to get anything? scratches head

HoT was worth it for me because of raid. I love the challenging raid. The new 9 elite specializations are awesome as well. I don’t really care that much about exploring maps and whatnot… so maybe that’s why I don’t share the same discontent as other gamers.

Like I’m not the type that would try to find a Jumping puzzle on my own, I just look it up on dulfy or youtube… some of them I would never in my life time be able to find if I had to do it on my own without guides. I just don’t have the talent for that sort of thing.

Like the not so secret jumping puzzle… I would never go to that cliff… much less look at the spinning gear on the ground, rofl.

ROFL!!!!!
What you saw was Unbound.

They haven’t released Ad Infinitum yet…

Exos.3472:

Raids are the only pve content that pushes people to reflect on their shortcomings (builds, rotation, gameplay, common sense)

Vale Gardian is fine the way he is. You shouldn’t be able to beat it while watching TV.

^

I don’t want raid bosses to turn into World bosses.

It’s worth it because the raid themselves are FUN.

If you’re raiding just to get the armour… you’re torturing yourself.

Nobody wants necro or thieves in raids. You will be heavily discriminated.

Thief is so 2014.

The new it class is Revenant. Everyone wants a piece of rev.

And you don’t even have to dodge back and forth or stealth yourself, just press 1 and you can literally deal more dps than any other class. Truly elite.

Favourite: Caledon forest (it actually feels like you’re in a different world), Auric Basin (This remains the most beautiful HoT map, meta is achievable unlike VB and TD).

Least favourite: Drytop… I don’t like desert looking place. The events are not fun and I don’t like the sandstorm. I rarely play this map.
Orr because it’s annoying and again, desert/dead looking.
Silverwastes, dead looking place. Plus that really annoying spinning flower that makes me want to rage quit.

Nope.

Instead you get a FREE summonable merchant, 1 transmutation charge, 1 XP booster. All of which are useless to 99% of people.

I have no motivation to play core stuffs at all… since I capped mastery… there’s like no motivation to do Tyria activities :/

Everything is nerfed to death (fracs, WvW, dungeons). The only thing I do in Tyria is try to gather 2800 soft woods for Nevermore.

I don’t know why they didn’t add raid to LFG…

IT"S so hard to recruit people. The interface is really weird… ugh.

Vladimir wishes he was that handsome.

He should have used the wrinkly face template, not a smooth face lol.
