Lag is getting worse, day by day.
Game is nearly unplayable.
Skills taking several seconds to activate.
All players/mobs freezing on screen for several seconds.
Rubberbanding.
Unable to gather as nodes do not respond.
Cannot pick up loot/open chests as game does not respond.
Load times between waypoints taking excessively long times.

For me, this all started the day of the DDoS attacks and has been getting worse ever since. Supports only response is “it’s a known issue and we are working on it, sorry”.

You can either remove him from the guild, or demote him but you would have to be a leader yourself to have permissions.

Yeah, the search function is terrible on here. The worst part about this thread is when the OP made it, there was another thread on the same subject only a few lines below it. Some people will not even try see if there is already a thread, they just make duplicates over and over.

Open world GvG

I have no problem with GvG being in the game…I only have a problem with open world.

If open world PvP of any kind was introduced in the game, I’m relatively sure that not only I would leave the game, but most of my guild would as well.

^^^^
This exactly.

Open world GvG

If and when anet adds guild halls, which if they do may come waaay down the line, open world gvg would be a quick fix.
Like I said previously, there would be no interference between open world gvg and pve if there were boundaries and some kind of gvg arena OS.
The pros:
People no longer taking up spots in wvw
Wvw no longer interfering with gvg (other players, orb bonus, sigil stacks)
New and dynamic gvg arenas
Easy (ish) to implement
Spectators!
The cons:
I really dont see any. The arena would not interfere with anything pve.

In GW1, Guild Halls where primarily arenas, that was what they where created for in the first place. Creating guild halls and arenas would be overkill. Guild halls allowed guilds to fight each other with an even amount of players. They also allowed players in the same guild to duel singly and in parties. If they do the same in GW2 it would be the best option for everyone, but there will always be the “open world” bit that will insist that they just have to be able to play right on top of everyone else and annoy them to have fun.

The issue is, I have not play gw2 for a long time; have never seen such e-mail. Yet as soon as I start to be a bit more consistent in gw2, this e-mail show up.

It could either be coincidence that it show up now… or somehow these criminals really did get my e-mail from gw2. I hope it was just coincidence.

It’s just a coincidence, don’t try to read too much in to it. My mother is 89, she has never been anywhere near a video game and she got this email as well. As someone else said, I get email all the time to reset my Blizzard account, which I do not even have.

I have no faith in mmo ads anymore, so I’ll stick here to see what this will become.
I no longer have the mental strength to try new ones just to “feel” betrayed after the hype.

I agree. after being burned with ads for games that turn out to be nothing like what the real game is, if I can’t play a free weekend and experience the game for myself, I’m not wasting my money. I usually always but the collectors editions if it’s a good game to help development and get some cool add ons but lately it’s just not worth it.

“Right, so flip that on the other side. If I go to a map I wouldn’t go to and expect to be alone . . . and wind up ganked by the three people who are in the other guild? Why wouldn’t I be kittened off about it?”

Why would you buy an MMOrpg if you want to play alone?

Why would I play an MMOrpg where I would expect to be attacked anywhere at any time?

Probably because its part of the game. Having pvp an almost seperate game within the game, which is what Anet has done (or at least has tried to do), has given Anet way more work than they can handle. Hence the fail of pvp and wvw.

No, they proved with Guild Wars that the PvP and PvE split works just fine. Awesome even. What they need to to do is get back to their roots, throw up a big middle finger to people asking for more mainstream MMO features, and turn this in to the great game it could be.

Clearly its on the road to being the greatest MMO ever. Tell me, when’s the last time you’ve cruised the pve maps? How many ppl have you stumbled into on your journey? One word; CASUAL.

Not even close! It’s on the way to becoming just another clone in a long line of clones if they don’t stop listening to the players who keep saying “this other game has this feature, why can’t it be in this game”.

OPen worl GvG is absolutely one of the WORST ideas anyone has suggested for this game. It would cause far more problems then it would be worth, and that IF it could even be added without screwing up so many other elements. If/when they add guild halls, that is when they can add GvG. With the wildly different guild sizes, what you can expect is 2x 5 man teams fighting it out in a guild hall. There is no workable way to have entire guild fighting it out in massive battles in the open world so don’t even bother thinking about it. Open world PvP has no place in this game and the players who keep asking for it are a very small minority who keep trying to turn this game in to some weird clone of some other game that they should just go play instead.

Suggestion; move the scam email to your Scam or Block folder.

No, do NOT do this! Delete the email but do NOT block the sender.
The scammers use a legitimate return address for Anet (spoofed). If you block them you will not only block the scammers, you will also block any real email from anet making support or account recovery almost impossible.

Snipped as irrelevant.

OK, then where is YOUR suggestion besides open world or nothing? It’s amazing how you seem to like to make arguments, that can just as easily point out how unreasonable you are as well. So you have said it yourself, you want open world dueling and that is all you want, nothing more will do. If that is your only option, then I vote no dueling at all and will fight tooth and nail to stop the devs from adding it in.
usually when someone says “give me what I want and nothing else will do”, they get nothing. I am done with this thread, everything that needs to be said has been said in this and all of the other threads as well. The majority do not want open world dueling.

The pure definition of selfish.

I’m pretty sure that, “I don’t like X so you can’t have it even if I would not be forced to participate in it if it were implemented,” fits that definition as well.

No one said you can’t have it and “not being forced to participate” has absolutely nothing to do with it, so you can stop trying to hide behind that excuse, it’s getting old and only shows that you have not even bothered to read any of the replies here or in the many other discussions. We have made suggestions on several different compromises which your lot have rejected. With the majority of the duelers, it’s their way or nothing. It’s time for them to make their own suggestions that would suit everyone instead of just themselves.

For a quick recap:
Duels in Guild Halls when added – rejected, they want open world.
Instances – rejected, they want open world.
Arenas – rejected, they want open world.
Separate areas set aside – rejected, they want open world.
WvW – rejected, they want open world.
sPvP – rejected, they want open world.

There are many other suggestions that have been made, all rejected. The players who do not want dueling in open world have tried to come up with a solution all could live with. Your lot have come up with nothing. Now who is being selfish?

All the reasons people are listing that oppose dueling being added are some of the dumbest things I’ve ever read.

And your comment is supposed to support open world dueling how?

You are not doing much for your cause with statements such as that.

I’ve listed many reasons as to why it should be added in different threads regarding dueling, I don’t care to repeat them since all the anti-dueling people ignore them.

All the reasons people are listing that oppose dueling being added are some of the dumbest things I’ve ever read.

Yeah PvE needs people like you with that attitude trolling around. If you are going to support open world dueling perhaps you should not use insults to support your cause. It is that very attitude that people don’t want to see spill into PvE.

Oh no! don’t add dueling because of the bad attitudes people MAY bring!

Perfect example of the kind of player we do not want to have to deal with. When I mentioned the “community” that would make dueling a bad idea, THIS is what I was talking about.

And you’re a perfect example as to why this game never improves, shooting down ideas before they’re even tested. Dueling is already being done and it’s a positive, fun experience. What does adding a convenient dueling mechanic take away from the game exactly?

The “idea” has been tested in many games. It fails in almost all of them. There are very few where dueling works. Mechanics have been suggested so both sides could still enjoy the game, and rejected by the dueling players one after the other. The players who support dueling want what they want when and where they want it regardless of how it impacts other players. The pure definition of selfish. As to your other comments, read below.

It’s very simple.

1) Those who are afraid of dueling can enable an option which ignores any duel requests.

2)Dueling can take place anywhere. Why would this be a problem? I see no PvErs complaining when Lions Arch is COMPLETELY FILLED with people costume brawling.

3)People who use the excuse of “this game isn’t balanced around 1v1s so dueling will make people complain” obviously haven’t been to the profession forums. All you see are people complaining about how one class is OP against their class. It already happens. This isn’t an excuse.

Dueling is something that many games have. It’s something that you can do to pass the time while waiting for buddies to show up for a dungeon. It’s something that will help you become a better player and learn how to deal with other classes in a fight. If you take the game seriously enough that losing a duel would cause you mental anguish, you need to go outside and take a breather. It’s just a game.

1 – already suggested to death and not the only issue by a long shot.
2 – Apparently you have not bothered to read any of the duel threads, or even this whole thread as it has been mentioned several times as being annoying.
3 – It is a valid excuse as no complaining currently being done will equal the crap storm that will happen if dueling is added.

Tired, old and invalid arguments. Just because another game has something does NOT mean it has to be added to GW2. That is one of the main issues this game currently has, Players want to turn it in to a generic clone of every other game out there. “XXX has this, why can’t GW2 have it”.

Sure there will be a lot of kitten asking everyone duels, let’s just add a report function for duels harassment or add an icon on your char to tell that you don’t accept duel from anyone.
Even so I’d like to duel my friends in the open world instead of afking with them.
And no, mist pvp is no good as long as the custom arena is in gem stores.

You can stop saying it can be ignored or have a button to not accept duels. It’s been suggested by almost every single player who supports dueling for over a year now. We get it. It’s not the main issue for many so it’s not even worth discussing any longer.

what is the main issue for many then? cause all i’ve gotten out of the people against duels are that you will get spammed for dueling all the time.

If that is all you have gotten, then you have not been following the discussion or any of the threads. Suggested reading below.

No its not Neural cause there is no reason for it?Why whouold majority of people lose duels cause of minority?All of those reasons u people saying are dumbest things i ever read in my life.Open World PVP can just improve game and Anet said that they will try to add duels and that makes me happy

You stated that in all the other MMO’s that dueling exists in, that no-one has complained. You’re pulling stats out of your backside. Prove your statement.

I dont need to prove anything since u cant prove me that people here dont want duels.Im talking about games that i played and never herd complains on duels.everything u people say are selfish and makes no sense but whatever i wont bother.I can understand people that whine about lack of some content but people that whine about having some normal content its just…..pffff.The fact is that on latest live interwiev Anet said that they will try to add duels in game,if you want prof then go and check youtube.Im done with this,i will wait for my duels

Actually you DO need to prove it (which you can not do) as your statement is 100% wrong. I have played several other games with dueling and have seen complaints about it, and I have complained myself. So you stating no one complained is false. Also, I normally will not comment on grammar, but PLEASE put spaces between your sentences as your typing is very annoying to read.

New World Bosses

in The Origins of Madness

Posted by: ShiningSquirrel.3751

ShiningSquirrel.3751

I am just getting sick of the world bosses. The mechanics are terrible for most of them.
Jormag is a good example, run to dragon, fear, run away, run back, fear, run away, repeat and rinse. I had had many time where I would run repeatedly back and forth never even getting a chance to get a single skill off. The fire ele is similar, one shot to knock you down, then they bounce your body all over the place so you can’t even attempt to rally. If a boss can completely shut you down so you cannot even use a single skill, that is not fun, it’s just poor mechanics.

In Truth, if we spent money in this product, we all should have the same experience whatever we can, comparing WvW with Tyria, ppl like pve, ppl like pvp, and if the Company can make PvP/Duels possible in Tyria Maps just for the fun for those who want pvp there, why not???

So those who want it should take precedent over those who do not? Why is their “fun” more important then the fun of those who do not want it? Open world dueling is annoying. Why should my game play be made less fun so yours can be made more fun?
If you want dueling, take it to the mists. If the devs want to add instanced dueling, fine, go to it and leave the rest of us out of it. Open world dueling? Not on your life. It’s bad enough having to deal with the costume brawls, dueling would be far worse in every way.

Your game wouldnt be affected if they make PvP Servers.

Open world duels do not = PvP servers.
Apples Vs Oranges.

Man, you seem to be on a heavy Trip, i said that to “separate” pve ppl from pvp, i know open duels is diff from pvp servers.

And btw, you “dont have to deal with costumer brawl”, you participate it, or you ignore it, simple. As i simple dont “deal” with ascended crafting, its there, but i dont care wasting my time with it.

Your the one who brought up PvP servers in a discussion on duels, so you seem to be a little confused. And I do have to deal with costume brawls. Trying to use the bank, trading post or crafting and having a couple of players decided they want to fight right on top of your position. Waiting for a boss to spawn, same thing. Dueling would be a thousand times worse. Many of us have already seen it happen in other games, and with the quality of the community here, it would be far worse.

PvP servers would require a huge revamp of the code which is built around cooperative PvE. Then you’d have the issues of having two sets of similar code to maintain instead of one and the problem that any future changes would need to be tested thoroughly in both environments, slowing down the production cycle significantly. It’s not just as simply as “make a PvP server by flipping a switch”.

Im sorry, i thought they were a company that makes videogames, targeting gamers so this would be their job, hear their customers, i guess im mistaken then.

Yes, you are obviously mistaken in many things.

Why not insert dueling arenas in pve, that is, specifically designated areas for dueling between players? In fact, just put one dueling arena in Lion’s Arch to begin with and see how popular it is. If it works shove more arenas around the open world.

That’s been suggested many times before, and rejected by the duelists.
They want to duel right on top of other players, anywhere and everywhere they want.
It’s more a matter of showing off. If they can’t duel so everyone else can see how leet they are, they don’t want to duel at all.

The guild bank is not part of any account, but a shared resource for all members. When a restoration is done, only a single account is restored from point in time snapshot. To restore a guild bank, you would have to restore the account of every guild member so they where all reset to the same point in time. This would not be workable. Think of an account restoration as an account rollback. Would you really want to rollback an entire guild? Guild finances/storage and security are the responsibility of the guild leaders. Anet will not interfere in that regardless of the cause.

Your entitled to your opinion, even if it is grossly wrong and based on mis-information. Anet is NOT going to give you a free gift because you make a comment on the forums.
That right there points out this is either a troll thread, or the OP is in serious need of “something”.

I just bought this game, got the skins and armor set, etc….can’t access this though.

You have to be at least level 30 to unlock it as it is an elite skill.

When will we see dueling?

What Dueling entails, what people seem to want, is the ability for two people to say to each other “hey, let’s fight each other”, and then do so without anyone else coming in and interfering.

And that would work fine with an instance, but there are many players who only want to duel if they can do it right on top of other players who are trying to play other parts of the game. You have players who say they want to duel, but when a suggestion is given that would allow them to duel while not interfering with other players, they say no. Some of this seems to be more they want to show off rather then actually duel.

If they don’t want instances, don’t want arenas, then they don’t really want dueling. In GW1, they had a great system. Want to duel? just go to your guild hall and go at it. That would work in GW2 as well when guild halls are ever added, but I can guarantee you would still have players complaining that they want to duel right on top of other players in the open world or it would be no fun for them.

For the people that want to get stepped on.

You got the backpack by mistake, it has happened before with many items that where mailed to players. Support usually says keep it and enjoy it as a free gift. It was not given to you because of anything you said, it was an error, not a bribe. FYI, this happened with the karka event, and continues to happen with the digital deluxe chests.

Making threats to sue is grounds to have all future support ignored. If you threaten to sue, support has no choice but to forward any support requests or other communications to their legal department so you may want to be careful making threats.

It’s amazing, a player gets a free gift in game, blows it all out of proportion and nearly has a melt down, because he got a free gift. How DARE anet be so evil, sending free gifts to players! ;-)

A cheaper way to expand account vault?

Using Guild Bank though has a risk. If your account got hacked and the hacker got into your guild bank(s) and empty them. You won’t get any back even with account restoration.

When has this ever…. Does this even happen?

Yes, it happens all the time, just read the posts in account support looking for help and that is only the players who do not go straight to the support link and do not post.

Open pvp!!
