$50 is a more than reasonable price for an expansion for a free game with no subscription fee. Most of us with brain stems were expecting something in the ball park of $40 anyway.
Nobody would complain if they weren’t giving an incentive to new players. As a vet, frankly I’ happy about this incentive. It should improve the game.
You’re getting guild halls, a new pvp mode, elite specializations, a new class, a new borderlands, new maps and god knows what else.
Anet’s only mistake with this was underestimating how many fairness queens are in its playerbase.
I love that what’s fair for you should be fair to all. This thread is to let players have a voice. If they feel cheated/left out, you really have no right to say they’re wrong. Just that you feel different.
I mean really? “Fairness queens”? :/

It simply feels like most of what is in this expansion is stuff that should have already been here to begin with. So paying for what I kind of expected seems like stupidity. Maybe I shouldn’t have expected much from the core game maybe, I dunno.
Mastery system (update), Specializations (Update), Guild Hall (Update), Competetive Mode (update)
New profession and Enter Maguuma (New content)
Edit: on reflection it could just be all marketing. Give a lot less than expected, have a riot, say “we listened” and give a bit more, all so you don’t have to give as much as was originally wanted/expected. /cynic

Voice added: not paying $50US for a game I already own, with no Char slot (which even if included I can’t see being $50 value).
I may be a cynic, but it just smacks of corporate greed and a company out of touch.
The Crossing is a good, and cheaper, alternative perhaps.
I never thought I’d be focussed enough to save up 100G for the Icy Runestones need for my Legendary. Then I realised I still had my Set 1 of Minis. One day later…. hello 1400G+. :P
Get the instanced content not Soulbound/Accountbound. Keep it for a year then sell it.
10 will be their last “version”. It’s being offered to everyone, regardless of whether their copy of Windows is legit or not. Apparently.
Blind Melon incoming in 3..2…1…
Mini Llama.

Note: I am not tech support, so do so at your own risk, but I can’t really see a risk it’s simply an earlier driver.
However, it has worked for me so far. Also, turn off auto-updates in Geforce Experience.

I forgot to mention, I also went to this folder and deleted my Corrupt files (they’re marked corrupt) and then repaired the client.

You mustn’t have too many things to whine about if this is something that ails you. May as well just scotch the game now and throw it on the funeral bier.
Thanks for trying! No dice, unfortunately. And it’s only GW2 that crashes.
After I got the Portal stone and all. I wish I could gift it, because I’ll try and play occasionally, but if it keeps happening I’ll just leave it for a year or 2. :P
Is this happening to others from April onwards?
Hi all,
The game has begun to crash on me. I can log in. I can get to Character Select. But as soon as DR (or other area) loads, it crashes to a green screen.
I can hear it playing in the background, but all inputs stop. for example, I can’t press Enter then “/dance”. I know this because the Dance ‘sounds’ the character make don’t come up. Same as Cheer.
I’ve turned down the Graphics settings from the Character Select screen but still crashes on login.
I updated my nVidia drivers, pulled my pc apart and cleaned the hell out of it (always a good thing I should do more often), and still nothing.
Is this happening to others from April onwards?
i7-2600 (seen a couple 2600’s have this problem, hope it’s not CPU related)
285GTX (working like a boss still, not overheating)
650W PSU (suppose it could be this, but it lets me play Rome 2 on High and other games without missing a beat, so I don’t think it’s drawing too much)
Win7 64bit
8Gb DDR3
They are. I got one about 2 hours ago.
Problem is, what if they only let 5k of them drop but only 1k (or less) of the people want to participate? If you sell them, then only those who want to do the beta would buy it. Just seems a weird way to bring beta people in.
I won one of their “Twitter contests” and I live in Australia. Not sure if it differs, it was the llama one.
I wonder if they have a social media loophole?
It’s acorny twist on the tale…
Invisible objects? What, re-playable content?
Cue Baldurs Gate Bard voice: “To battle! With no regrets…”
I learned just yesterday, after 35 years, the Luigi wears green. Childhood. Shattered.
I think that if I was new, and new to JPs, I’d be doing them in a group. Not solo, and preferably with a mes.
My point is more the “sales to reach end reward”. In a dungeon sale via LFG, you’re hardly doing group content. You’re going in, getting the achieve and end chest, and that is it. No group content. You’re not participating in group content, you’re buying a way to bypass it.
What about selling access to ones home instance for gathering resources? Namely I just spotted this new type of selling in lfg just about an hour ago : " Sell access crafting nodes (17) for 20 silver…..->" . Does it belong to the dungeon sort of selling section or is it abusing the lfg due to selling access to “items”?
- Advertising an access portal is not allowed.
- Guild Recruitment is not allowed.
Both are unrelated to forming a group and therefore are not part of the intended purpose of the Looking for Group Tool.
Dungeons can be solo’d. The option is given, but not always needed. It’s group oriented. But JP’s, and in fact the game in general, is an MMO. So, the whole game is group oriented.
And it’s still a path to a reward.
Why is it ok to sell a spot to a Dungeon end but not to a JP End via LFG?
They’re both PvE essentially.
I’m just curious.
I think it still works in Swamp fractal. Havent tried for ages though.
Least played: Dervish
Some of us still run GTX285s though, which puts DX11 out of reach.
I think it’s time to upgrade. It’s just… 512b ftw!
15k Ap. I’ve done all paths of (I think) CoF, CoE, and TA.
And of course end of Personal Story. That’s it.
They aren’t necessary and, based on the attention, or lack of, they’ve received I don’t believe you can really judge people for not running them
Community Discussed Interest is what I’m sure was meant…
Next thing you know, as soon as you/someone else enters a group it will be mandatory to yell: “Hey all. Screenshot Taken” to let them know if kicked you’ll send it to Support asking a non-existent PUG Hammer to rend and smash from on high…
I just love how you need 10. But, of course, normally you only get 3 per node…. :P
Molten Dungeon. Remove the jetpack as RNG reward if you want, it’s not my cup of tea anyway (and no… I don’t have one. Don’t want one).
I just liked the layout, difficulty, and length.
When you’re crafting, you have the option of selecting the amount of items you wish to create, based on the amount of available resources you have. Surely this could be put in effect for the forge, perhaps? Unless tech restrictions prevent it…
In appearance, I envision a ring with an aura (semi-transparent) extending upwards. It could even have symbols added to the aura for enhancement and identification purposes.
Skulls for poison.
Flame for burning.
Etc.
This is hands down the best idea I’ve seen on the issue. small Skull/crossbones rising for poison, swords for Might, etc. Whatever might be chosen.

Just so people can realise the enormous impact it can have, scroll down that link and look through the 4 images. the first three all look exactly the same to me as I have deuteranomaly and protanomaly. In essence, I only have 1/2 of the red cones in my eyes that work. The others are all inert and I see in black, white and red.
I want a masculine bow that’s manly and shoots men with muscles the size of other men father than a man can run which is really, really fast because a man is ultimate and inflicts nightstallions on enemies. That’s right, Nightstallions, because nightmares are female and male horses are more masculine and stronger and darker and more mature with added strength and manliness. I want my Bro-bow to shoot Nightstallions, man.
I think about 4000 hours.
Chaos Gun and Zap drops (zap from Karkas… I think a few people got one as a drop during the initial karka events), and Rotgorts Flams after piffing in random rares to the MF
Ah. That’s a shame.
Thanks for the answers!
I remember reading somewhere, somewhen, that there was supposed to be, or was planned to be, a descendent of Nick for weekly collections.
Am I mistaken? Or is it an ‘in the pipeline thing’?
I thought a grand, grand, grand, etc daughter it was….
In fairness, the OP didn’t say he allowed his roommate to do it. Just that it was a thing that happened.
Someone hacks your account they help you get it back. You didnt allow it, but it happened :P
Here’s a cursor. If we combine them then who knows what could happen? Magic, mebbe?
I like the word. It should go in the dictionary for:
An MMORPG community term for a game that is about to get an ’expensive expansion extension ’.
At 2.8 cents per hour of entertainment and decreasing still… I’d say it’s just fine
With 540 laurels sitting in the bank gathering dust, I think I’ll take the Ascended.
And you’re not turning them to gold which would allow you to buy those ascended mats (minus the Vision Crystals that can be farmed 1-2 per day now), because…?
I think I’m under the delusion that they will be used for something more epic in future. :/

And Anet, this really pains me to say this but if the community is the only thing that keeps people playing your game, that is a bad sign.
“the only thing that keeps people playing your game,” based on a case study of size 1. But surely everybody else in the game has the same priorities and interests as you, and from that alone you can infer mountains of insight into the state of the game.
