GW2 needs FFA PvP servers!

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ShiningSquirrel.3751

ShiningSquirrel.3751

It’s already been discussed in 20 to 30 threads over the past year and a half, and the common opinion is No, the game does not need it and it is not wanted.

It’s also been said over and over that the forum community is a minority and doesn’t actually represent what the majority wants.

And your point? It’s a bad idea, most people responding do not like it, and it has no place in GW, period. If you want open world PvP, there are more then enough other games out there, help yourself. This subject is the same as mounts and duels, it’s been suggested before, discussed to death, and there is no reason to keep creating duplicate threads except the laziness of posters who will not take the time to search first or vain enough to think they are the first to have this idea..

From everything the devs have been saying, I have assumed there would be no expansion this year and probably not next year either. Not sure why anyone would think otherwise?

You should contact support and explain what you did. Having the serial code could allow them to claim your account as their own.

So, what happens if you end up forgetting the full (real) name you’ve put in the account registration form? Is there any way to redeem this information? Or are you forever stuck not being able to fill any support forms?

I am not sure what you are asking, did you use a fake name for registering? Your real name is your real name, I really can’t see a situation where someone could forget their own name?

Grenth Hood Skin?

The moderators can control the threads, that’s what they are here for. No need to be rude about it. Ignore the trolls, this is the only way they get their frustration out from the real world.

Anyways back on topic, I would LOVE for the hood to come back and would do anything to get this hood. Please, bring it back asap!

If you want it to come back, why did you post in this thread instead of the one where the devs responsible will actually see it? there is a link for the correct thread just a few posts above if your to lazy to look for it.

The hoods seem to be a winter thing. They may not be around for a while but hopefully they get put back up. Also Wanze, you’re rude and have a serious attitude problem. You could have ignored the thread or gave a simple reply to his question, instead you choose to sound like a know it all and toss around statements about rules and speak sarcastically. You’re what’s wrong with this forum community.

If you think im rude, report my post. If a Mod agrees with you and deletes my post, thats fine with me. From all posters, i was the only one pointing the OP into the right direction, while you just repeated what others already said before you.

Your not being rude, but you are being just as ignorant than the guy who made this thread. There could be a million threads about the grenth hood, and t doesn’t matter because of how non functioning the search is, so stating that multiple threads exist doesn absolutely nothing for us.

It does not matter if the search on this site works or not. There are other proven ways to search any site using google or bing, internet 101. This is why people need to pass a test before being allowed to use the internet or a computer.

ShiningSquirrel.3751

I have a very simply solution to all “meta” builds, I ignore them and the players who insist you have to use them. Never used them in GW1, will not be using them in GW2 either. I play with the build I like that fits my play style. That is the reason there are so many traits, you can choose the ones that fit you. Players who insist on using cookie cutter builds simply have no imagination or skill of their own.

When they lose a 1v1 they jump off a cliff.

When people are jumping off cliffs close to their own zerg ensuring nobody can res them.

I guess people do it so not everybody can get their lootbag, but still funny though.

Heck yeah! Robbing some WvW player of their loot is the greatest joy in the game! ;-)

I love PVErs, they’re so cute in how scared they are of coming face to face with competition.

I’m sorry. What competition is that? WvW is no different than champ trains. It all comes down to it being mindless zerging. I’ve been in the EotM and all I’ve seen is groups conquering objectives, avoiding each other, losing the objectives (on purpose!) then reconquering them, all along just by fighting the AI, for the loots.

Exactly. And yet, for some reason, PVErs are allergic to WvW like the plague. It’s like they’ll have a heart attack the moment they see a player with red text over their heads.

Some people just don’t want to do PvP. That shouldn’t be forced upon them nor should they be looked at differently because of this.

What’s so PVP about it? As pointed by FrozenStar, it’s just zerging like a champ train. I will never understand these PVErs. I’m not looking down on them though for that. I look down on them for all the whining they are doing over this small change.

Most games have PvP sections or servers dedicated to that function. Thus making people who don’t enjoy that aspect of a game to never have to do it. ANET is forcing it upon people though with putting a Living Story aspect in there.

If you never gathered ever in the game and they forced that upon you, would you have a legitimate reason to be upset?

Yeah. I hate gathering. Yet I’m forced to do it, because otherwise I’m not gonna get enough mats for gold and stuff. I would have a harder time doing my dailies. Shame on ANet for forcing me to do it.

But you know what? I suck it up and JUST DO IT. Because if I want to achieve my goals, I need to.

Do you see me complaining on the forums about the need to Gather? Of course not.
And it’s not just that. If you think Gathering is such a small assinine thing, there are tons of other stuff I don’t enjoy at all in this game but I’m “forced” to because I want my legendary. Let’s start with stupid kitten Map Completion. Reknown Hearts. UGH!!! I hate doing that. But I’m “forced” to do it, right? Do you see me QQing in the forums that they take out Reknown Hearts? Of course not.

Because then I’d look as stupid as the guy who started this thread.

I’m just saying I see where PVE only players come from in that aspect.

Personally, I like pvp mixed in with my PVE experience.

My bad if it came out that I was lumping you in on the “other side” of the argument.
But anyhow, if you can see the PVE side of it, surely you can also see the other side? I’m not a WVW-only person by any stretch, I used to be a PVE-only person but then I got to the point where I needed that gift of battle, so I just dove into WvW, got my 500 badges in like 4 days, and a good number of ranks on top of that. It was easy as hell.

So I really just laugh at the people who are still allergic to WvW for some reason. I can’t understand this “I’m a PVE only I don’t want to touch PVP with a ten foot pole!” mentality. It’s ridiculously stupid in my eyes.

Calling players “stupid” because you do not agree with their opinion is the last resort of someone who can not support their own opinion.
I am one of the players who will not Play WvW. I played it. I do not like it, and I do not like most of the players who play it. I have been in guilds and left because of the way they treated their members over WvW. Using language that would make a truck driver blush because in their minds, other players where not following their “expert instructions”. PvP/WvW/sPvP in this game is toxic. I play games for fun, not to deal with a bunch of 12 year olds with behavior problems.

And you forgot, you then need to waste laurels you need for ascended gear for levels instead. It’s not as easy as you people try to make it out so you can stop with the “buy levels” garbage, we have heard it dozens of times already and just because you keep repeating it does not make it any better.

I haven’t forgotten anything. Sorry that your Gift of Battle isn’t free anymore because you happened to do some PvE Achievements. You don’t have to do WvW, so you have nothing to complain about. If you want to save on Laurels, then go to WvW. The point is you have options, and have absolutely nothing valid to complain about.

However, ask a WvW’er what they need to do to get a Legendary. They have to go to Dungeons, and they would definitely spend Laurels as a substitute if they were given that choice. Either go to WvW or spend your Laurels. It’s ridiculous that the Gift of Battle was essentially free due to the Achievement chests.

I have no need of a gift of battle since I will not be getting any legendries. ugliest skins in the game and the particle effects are just annoying.
If I really want one, it’s not an issue as I can get one or many at any time. Ranks? not an issue. Badges of Honor? not an issue. You assume that I don’t like the change because I want a gift of battle “for free”. The truth is I do not want any, have no use for any and could get one any time if I ever did change my mind. My main complaint is they have allowed players to get their legendries without this requirement. If they are going to change it, then it needs to be retroactive. You can’t change the rules mid stream and create 3 different classes of players. If they are going to make rank 30 a requirement, it should be a requirement to equip a legendary weapon. Many of you keep sayeing “you have to play all aspects of the game”, fine! no problem with that, but it needs to apply to EVERYONE, not just a few. Buy it off the TP? sure, but you can’t equip it until your rank 30. Crafted it since the AP chests gave you all the Badges of Honor you need so never played WvW, same thing, get to rank 30 before you can equip it again. Rules and requirements need to apply to ALL players or none.

Anet, why dont you split PvE and WvW?

ShiningSquirrel.3751

It will happen sooner or later when the devs finally wake up. It happened in GW1. They said they would never separate the 2, but eventually the did. They separated skills to have different effects in PvE and PvP, they allowed you to purchase all skills for PvP only, end even let you purchase accounts that where strictly PvP. PvP in GW1 was supposed to be end game and PvE only used to unlock your equipment and skills. That was a complete failure. unfortunately Anet failed to learn from past mistakes.

Well now you know how the WvW players feel about being forced in doing PvE to get that higher tier gear….

PSA:
You can obtain Badges of Honor from Achievement Chests.
You can gain ranks from Laurels.
You do not need to enter WvW, except for a brief moment to buy your Gift of Battle.

And you forgot, you then need to waste laurels you need for ascended gear for levels instead. It’s not as easy as you people try to make it out so you can stop with the “buy levels” garbage, we have heard it dozens of times already and just because you keep repeating it does not make it any better.

I don’t understand why people are against duels, I like them as a way to kill time with friends when waiting for open world events. If they aren’t here I’ll still live, but I don’t understand why some people are so against it, can one of you that are so against it please elaborate as to why you are?

Try one of the many threads linked to above. You’ll find your answer there.

Why can’t you people answer a simple question. Why are you so against a dueling option? If you’re worried about people spamming duel invites, simple fix, have an option that blocks all duel invites.

We have answered it, again and again and again. Read the threads linked. I for one am tired of repeating myself because people are either to lazy to look or think they are the first person to think of this.

Rank 30 WvW Required for Gift of Battle Grind

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ShiningSquirrel.3751

ShiningSquirrel.3751

You really can’t compare the rare skins in GW1 to legendries in GW2. There was no grind for the skins in GW1, they where pure RNG. Either you had one drop, or you did not.

Killing the same mobs over and over and over and over (and over) in the hope that a given weapon might drop is grind. The inclusion of RNG does not inherently prevent something from being a grind.

Except the rare skins did not drop from the same mobs. They could drop from nearly any mob. There where some skins that had a higher chance from some mobs, and then the exclusive skins like the greens that only came off of specific bosses, but you did not have to grind for them. I had multiple storm bows, a frog scepter and several other “rare” skins and I did not farm or grind a single mob to get them. I got them from just playing the game as I normally would.

Whining squirrel!
There is single “quest” which can be done in 5 min. They put it in Eotm only to show new location for PvE players, nothing more

“Whining”? If you say so. Anet claims they want feedback, but I guess it’s only feedback if you agree with it then?

If they want to get PvE players to try WvW, that is NOT the way to do it.
Just like the jumping puzzle, all it does is reinforce PvE players dislike of the game when they get ganked. Do you really think setting up PvE players to be nothing more then free kills for the WvW crowd is the way to bring new players in? Yeah, I ran in the map with a zerg, slaughtered the other servers players camping the area, grabbed the part then jumped right over the edge and left my servers guys to fend for themselves. Really made me want to play WvW some more, NOT!

O didn;t know Frog Sceptre, or Dryad Bow, or any number of the rare skins have attributes that can change on doble click or are the trade mark item for the game. And again, sick of every time anet mocks the players, a bunch of kitten kissings says it’s the best game in the world. Well, there really are other games out there.

I do not say its the best game in the world. I am rather disappointed in GW2, and have said so many times.

I am not certain that the legendaries are any more trademarked than any other weapon skin in the game. They are certainly, IMO, some of the ugliest and worst weapon designs I’ve ever seen. Perhaps that is their uniqueness, “ugliest weapon skins in a fantasy MMO.”

You spoke as if grind for rare weapon skins were a new thing in the GW franchise, something introduced with this patch. So how do you balance that implication against the FACT that the GW franchise has had rare weapons gated behind grind for many years ?

Any inclination, or ability, to answer the questions posed ?

You really can’t compare the rare skins in GW1 to legendries in GW2. There was no grind for the skins in GW1, they where pure RNG. Either you had one drop, or you did not.

Makes sense to me. I’m not even sure why they put badges in the ap chest to begin with, but hey…it was nice to have the extra surprise. What this did was make it so that players didn’t have to do anything in WvW though.

Now you do again. Just like you had to before badges were put in those ap chest. Chickens came home to roost.

Agree with others…30 is pretty simple to get to. Non issue for me.

Hate to break it to you, but you ALWAYS had to do something in WvW. Did you forget about exploration there guy?
If they had made it a requirement from the beginning, no big deal. That are changing the rules mid stream. If it is going to be a requirement, it should be a requirement for all. And if it’s a matter of “doing all parts of the game”, then it should also be required to have a specific fractal level as well. You can say it requires you to play the whole game, but then leave some parts out.

If they are going to make this requirement, then it should be a requirement to even equip one. Not rank 30? have a legendary already? so sorry, it has to sit in storage until you get that rank up. The only fair thing to do.

Oh, quit crying already.

Before you could get Badges from achievment chests, before WvW Exp was even a thing, you had to grind out 500 Badges, and there was only one way to do it.

By playing WvW. Like Arena.net clearly wants you to do to get the Gift of Battle. They aren’t changing it no matter how much you whine.

So I see I hit a sore spot, LOL!
So just how many legendries do you have there?
I am not “whining”, it seems you are the one getting upset here. I have no intention of ever getting a legendary as they are some of the ugliest weapons in the game and look like they where designed by and for a 12 year old girl, which I have said many times before. Since I have no intention of even trying to make one, this actually does not effect me at all, not even a bit, but it IS unfair to those who do want to go for it. WvW sucks, the players are some of the worst people in game and many of us want nothing to do with either of them. Anet attempting to force players in to content they do not want to do will not end well. Who knows, it could even backfire with PvE players seeing just how mach “fun” they can have by building random siege equipment or seeing what happens when golem walks off a cliff. If it came down to a civil war between the PvE players and the WvW players, WvW would be in serious trouble. ;-)

WvW doesn’t suck. It might not be your cup of tea. But it is to other players. There are toxic players in all aspects of the game. Have you not seen the threads about “elitists” in dungeons or the rude people on the Queensdale champ train? I imagine there are rude people in sPvP, but I don’t like PvP in general so I wouldn’t know.

It’s not my cup of tea either, but when I went in to get my map completion, I found out something. It’s not as bad as I thought it was and I might pop in from time to time once I’ve got my map completion. I do have 1 gift of battle, but I want 2 legendaries and I’m not angry or upset that they changed the requirement. I would also not be upset or angry if they changed it before I got my 1 gift of battle.

You don’t have to actually play WvW to get 100% map completion if you’re patient. So I’m not upset that they added in a requirement that actually makes you play WvW.

I have played WvW, I am currently rank 28, and have had 100% map completion for ages, and I still say it sucks, I hate it with a passion. It may be your opinion that it does not suck, but to be honest, your opinion does not matter to me when it comes down to what I want to play. The only opinion that matters then is my own, just like your opinion is all that matters when you are trying to decide what you want to play.

I could get a legendary any time I want, and can be rank 30 in a day or 2 at most. For me, it’s a none issue as I will never get one of those god awful ugly legendary weapons.
But I still say it is not fair to new players or players who do want a legendary and have not gotten it yet. A major change like that should never be just thrown at the player base blindly.

Sounds to me like you do want a legendary weapon you are just trying to fool yourself into thinking they are god awfully ugly

Sounds more like you are a little clueless and have no idea what you are talking about. :-p
Lets just say if I was in to “my little pony” or “rainbow brite” there might be something there but since I am not a 12 year old girl, neither hold much interest to me.

A sore spot? Hardly.

I have all of one legendary that a guild helped me get by gathering a lot of the T6 materials (specifically because it looked so ridiculous). You’re the one howling about “fair” and whatnot.

For a person who claims to not care, you sure seem to care a whole lot about it… considering this is the second thread in two different sub-forums you’ve whined about it in. Sounds like you care a hell of a lot, actually. But hey, that’s just me.

I do apologize for singling out your quote however, because the post really was directed in general to those whining about having to go into WvW for their legendary requirements.

At this point, I don’t know how much clearer Arena.net can make it. They want you to WvW AND PvE in order to get a legendary weapon, and they aren’t going to change that requirement no matter how much carebears (to borrow the term for PvE-exclusive players) cry about it.

See, your missing the whole point. They are NOT making it a requirement. If it was a requirement, you would not be able to purchase them off of the TP.
They are only making it a requirement for new players or players who have not gotten theirs yet. It’s a slippery slope they keep going down more and more. New players to the game are being panelized just for being new. That is no way to get new players, but it is a way to lose old players.

Dont see the problem since you can atm make 6 rank 5 toon pretty quickly. Now after WvW ranks combine then it will be a problem for the lazy.

Also the amount of gold you waste depending on your luck equals that the amount of a legendary so you can just buy it probably for alot more cheaper than making it.

Can you point out where the devs have said they are going to add all the ranks together, and not just use the highest rank like they did for fractals?

Since I have no intention of even trying to make one, this actually does not effect me at all, not even a bit, but it IS unfair to those who do want to go for it. WvW sucks, the players are some of the worst people in game and many of us want nothing to do with either of them. Anet attempting to force players in to content they do not want to do will not end well. Who knows, it could even backfire with PvE players seeing just how mach “fun” they can have by building random siege equipment or seeing what happens when golem walks off a cliff. If it came down to a civil war between the PvE players and the WvW players, WvW would be in serious trouble. ;-)

Forced into even more WvW that I despise

With the introduction of achievement chests, 500 badges of honor is easy to get without getting into WvW, and WvW is a big part of the game.

Lol… It’s only a big part of the game in WvW players heads. It has no significant impact whatsoever on the greater pve world or the pve player base, and forcing them into it will only make them dislike the mode and it’s dedicated player base even more than they already do.

Yeah, force me in to WvW and I may start trying to “play the way I want”.
I think I may want to walk golems off the cliff just to see if they can fly, or maybe see how much supplies I can use by building siege equipment as far behind friendly lines as possible (keeps them safe that way). The ways I can “play the way I want” seem almost endless. ;-)

Rank 30 WvW Required for Gift of Battle Grind

WvW and Legendaries always goes hand to hand since the big bang. This will require people to participate more in wvw to get their shiny legendary, which is a good thing for Anet to do.

Actually all it does is create 3 classes of players. Those who have to do WvW to get their legendary, those who already have one, and those with enough gold to purchase one off of the TP.

If they are going to make this requirement, then it should be a requirement to even equip one. Not rank 30? have a legendary already? so sorry, it has to sit in storage until you get that rank up. The only fair thing to do.

Add WvW rank 30 requirement for Commander tag

If they where to do this, then it would really need to be retro active. If you already have a tag, you should not be able to activate it again until you reach rank 30.

That’s exactly why I suggested simultaneously refunding all commander tags. That way it would be retroactive in that you would need WvW rank 30 to display the tag (because you wouldn’t have it otherwise). However, people that have already bought a commander tag but do not have rank 30 yet would not be losing out on 100 gold. In other words, I completely agree.

I like the idea of a refund. I have a tag myself. If they required a rank 30 I would gladly return it for my 100 gold. I like the idea of a PvE version as well. Maybe a different colored one for PvE? They do come in handy for some PvE events. Or what they could even do, is if your under rank 30, you can display it in PvE but not WvW. When you reach rank 30, it allows you to display it in WvW and changes the color, maybe gold to show you are a real commander and not just someone who had 100 gold?

EOTM the aspect of killing another

I stated this during the Ready Up livestream earlier today, but I’ll repeat it again here.

While we are releasing new story related content with the Edge of the Mists update, very little of that content actually occurs inside of the EotM map. Hopefully that alleviates some of your concerns!

Love the way you worded this. As a WvW and a PVE player this content is far the worse thing ANET have done, it is encouraging campers on the LS spot inside the mists and causing a lot of frustration amongst many players, some of these players don’t seem to understand that this content was made for WvW 1st with shoe horned LS content lobbed in for good measure.

This will be the only content I wont participate in due to Anets poor understanding, PVE players don’t care for WvW and most WvW players are nasty they get their jollys from watching players dieing

Once again worse content ever!

I completely agree. After nearly 10 years with the GW franchise, they still have not figured out that PvE and PvP do not mix. I went in to that map with a huge zerg, made a bee line for the part, then jumped off the edge leaving the rest of the players to fend for themselves. Anet can keep trying to force PvE players in to the PvP areas, but all they are really going to do is foce many of us right out of the game. I am simply tired of it and will not put up with it any longer. There are so many good quality games out there that will let me play the way I want to play, why should I play something where they try to force you to do something you do not want to do? And before anyone comes back with “no one is forcing you to do anything”, correct, I do not have to do any content. The attempt on the devs part is more then enough to turn me off to the whole thing.

Got the 3 achievements, so hopefully I will never have to step foot in a PvP/WvW map again? Hint, hint…

[Suggestion] Legendary requirements

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ShiningSquirrel.3751

ShiningSquirrel.3751

Since they have now added a WvW level requirement to craft a legendary. (you need to be level 30 to get a gift of battle)

All players should have to be WvW level 30 before they can even equip them. If you already have a legendary then it cannot be used again until you are WvW level 30 or more. Fair is fair, why should some players be forced to have a requirement that others do not?

Also, this would force players who purchase legendries off the TP to actually play the game before they could equip them.

I only think this is fair. Legendary is supposedly a process which takes you to all parts of the game, not just PVE only.

I was annoyed when badges were given out as part of achievement chest.

Well to really be fair, they should take away all the legendries made by players who where not level 30 when they made them, refund their materials and make them do it all over again.
Seriously? If they are going to force that on players now, then they should make it so you have to be level 30 before you can even equip them. If you already have a legendary then it cannot be used again until you are WvW level 30 or more. Fair is fair, why should some players be forced to have a requirement that others do not?

The time to ignore us is over – you`re in our world now.

Incorrect, your in WvW, we can still ignore you just as we have always done.
There is no reason any PVE players “needs” to enter that map, and especially not for a few worthless achievements.

Anet fails to know their customers again! LOL.

Glad it was changed, finally. No one deserves what is basically human t3 armor for a fraction of the cost.

I’d posit that no one deserves to be baited and switched too…

But I don’t think it should have stayed t3 cultural… I just think it was a really awful thing to do to customers who paid to support their game.

Then it’s a good thing that no one was baited and switched!
See how it all worked out in the end?

Great, so now I am a human that has replaced his cultural armour into the flamekissed one…now it also hides my toxic gloves and I really do not like this new style compared to the old one. I wish to have a full refund on the flamekissed (since you know i payed for THAT look and not THIS one). Or I should have the proper option of going back to what i exactly PAYED for. If these options do not arise I will be going into further matters in order to get my gems back Thanks!

Open a support ticket, making veiled threats on the forums is going to get you nowhere.

That’s not her job. She works in customer support, and that is not a customer support issue, it’s a forums issue. If people didn’t try to order around the Anet staff like they were personal servants the whole thing might have gone a little better.

sure it’s not her job but its about the 6th response of hers that says go discuss it somewhere else. at some point she may realize people are going to talk about it and if she doesnt want it to keep showing up in areas it doesnt belong she should have the person who can answer the questions about it actualy answer the questions about it. telling people hey go over to the appropriate forum so you can be ignored doesnt seem to be working so far

Gaile is a wonderful person, and does a great job, but I am not sure she has the authority to order someone else in another part of the company to do anything.

She can, however, moderate this thread, so it would be best post off-topic comments elsewhere before the thread becomes closed or posts are found missing. This topic is about refunds for duplicate identical items, and the policy has been stated quite clearly.

sure she seems nice and i’m sure she doesnt have the power to make anyone do anything but she can definitely ask them why they are making extra work for her. She can and has moderated this thread and the other 8 or 9 just like it in a bunch of different forums however her current tactic of saying dont have the discussion here have it somewhere else isn’t working because there isnt an actual discusion in the places she is directing people. I’m just as tired of having 5 threads about this on most front pages as you are of having this discusion in here. It’s time to stop saying please talk about it somewhere else and get the people who should talk about it to show up somewhere else and the discussion will naturally go there.

So your solution is to keep posting off topic posts in this thread, derailing it time and time again? You are not going to get the answer you want here, so please just stop. You are doing nothing here but attempting to stir up trouble and making it harder for players to find the information they need for a completely unrelated issue.

There is something going on with those servers that really needs to be looked at.
