Guild Wars 2

People will expect it anyways. Along with a lot of other things that wont be there right away, if at all.
And the Forums will explode with a new ocean of hostility and negativity.

Zoid.2568:

If we get no new race in 2015 stuff will happen.

Stuff will indeed happen!

The game will continue on.
People will very likely still be playing it.
Some form of story stuff will very likely be happening.

Stuff /WILL/ be happening!

-Aetherblade path in TA. (Which is still there.)
-The Molten Facility during F&F. (Still present as Fractals.)
-Aetherblade Hideout in LA. (Still present as Fractals.)
-Canach’s Lair in Southsun. (Which we lost, but it made no sense to really keep anyway.)
-Nightmare Chamber instances in the Tower of Nightmares. (Which we lost, but again, makes no sense to keep them once the Tower of Nightmares was destroyed.)

To say we haven’t had new Dungeon Instances in the past two years is incorrect. And some people not liking how Anet has handled some things (I.E. making some of them temporary) makes such a statement no less incorrect.

ha. the TA path replaced a path and counting fractals as a dungeon..? you might as well add both of them to ‘we lost them.. but it made no sense to keep them’ logic because that’s what happened. them returning as fractals does not mean they’re ‘new’ dungeons.

a real new dungeon with its own new paths and new rewards, skins, weapons, etc still has not happened and is very unlikely to happen because since release, EVERYTHING NEW is on the gem store.

Explain why Fractals shouldn’t be counted as dungeons.
Explain why the Aetherblade Path in TA shouldn’t be considered as new.
Explain how every reward you can earn through the living story and through Achievement Points supports the ‘EVERYTHING NEW is on the gem store.’ rhetoric.

I didn’t say fractals werent a dungeon, I was questioning the fact that the only exclusive fractal reward is a backpiece and a weapon set based on rng drops unlike every other dungeon which has its own set of armor/weapons and no rng.

the aetherblade ta path was just.. a new.. path. the argument was there have been no new DUNGEONS. a single path added to an existing dungeon that replaced an old path is not a new dungeon.

Living story has rewards? the backpack skins I can buy off TP? sorry but the only reward based off any skill is a liadri mini. every other LS reward can be bought off tp with gold/gems or farmed for in a zerg where you just continually spam autoattack.

In your own words…

Iplaytokill.1674:

So you don’t consider Fractals as Dungeons? Or you do?

Both those instances and the TA path are new.
Just because /you/ don’t like them does not invalidate that fact.

As for the Rewards from the Living Story… Again, just because you don’t like them (which you have made pretty obvious) does not change the fact that they did not come from the Gem Store.

Anything else you would like to discuss? Or can we stop derailing this threat with these kind of negative untruths and overly biased opinions?

Would I like to see Tengu playable?
Absolutely.
Do I really expect it with this release?
Sadly, no.

But oddly enough, I’m okay with that. I really rather have the Devs bring out something like the Tengu at the /end/ of something like the Living Story.
Show us how the Tengu finally came to the decision to come out from behind their wall.
Perhaps we as players can be involved in that process. He have a good hook from LS1 and the attack on LA, and earlier, during the Tower of Nightmares, there were Tengu in parts of Kessex that got caught up in the fighting against the Toxic Alliance.

In short, I’d rather see such a thing as a culmination of a Living Story…

^Lots of posts like this no matter what

I tell you what, if you can find anything in the track record ArenaNet has established for themselves that shows my expectations to be unreasonable I’ll sincerely apologize for upsetting your sensibilities.

Now now, no need for your jimmies to be rustled. I just pointed it out.

So you’ve got nothing to show my expectations to be unfounded? I didn’t think so.

Such needless antagonism. So typical of the forums…

No.

They give you slots for extra characters, even without buying any from the gem store.
Use ’em. :P

People had been asking for an ‘underflow’ system for a while, so that underpopulated maps could have a chance at no longer being empty.
How quickly these forums seem to forget that…

The Megaserver does accomplish that, though as it has been pointed out already, it needs tweaking, which they have been doing with varying degrees of success, I believe.

Call me crazy, but… I didn’t see anything in the game like the end of that ‘comic’… If you saw anything remotely like that, then I’m afraid you might be suffering from some sort of paranoia. I guess GW1 ending is just that traumatizing… but I wouldn’t know.

Wjerd Bladeborn

No match for the Commander, you mean. To the Dragonslayer!

Rajihd

You continue to impress me, Commander. No one in any of the Tethyos Houses has ever taken down such an imposing target. I shall be watching to see what you accomplish next.

Trahearne

The world owers you a great debt, Commander. As long as I am Marshal of the Pact, I will see that debt honored.

Yeah I don’t see where people get this idea either. Trahearne never steals the Glory, he just acts as a strategist and unites everyone towards you for you to command and make final say. No respect for the dude doing all the boring but much needed side of things required to build an army. Does he even say anything like “I killed…” He always says “We” or “You” and thanks you several times. He even says he owes you for saving the world basically.

I think people just think he steals credit just cause he’s the one making the ending speech or something. Did you want to give a big speech that bad? Or maybe they are angry that they aren’t supreme leader of the Pact that he put together, even though that means staying in Orr forever instead of doing other shenanigans.

This, basically…
Trahearne does not steal anyones thunder. The perception that is tossed out here on these forums that he does, makes me wonder if the people doing the majority of the QQing about it even bothered to watch the cut scenes. (I’m guessing not. That would give them one less reason to bash the game so vitriolically…)

The personality of Trahearne not withstanding (yeah, I agree, he comes off rather flat) what exactly do the people that complain about the story want?
Our characters to become the singular leader of the Pact? To be the singular hero that walked into Orr, defeated all the Risen, and killed an Elder Dragon?
Sounds to me that people want to play single-player console games rather then an online game where they have to actually >gasp< deal with other people!

Various ways to ramp up one’s spike damage through buffs, traits, armor stat combination, runes and sigils.
I have seen some glass cannon thieves do some stupid damage before, so this doesnt surprise me much.

Reminds me of the Mission Architect in City of Heroes/Villains… Now that was fun to use and play with. Some really great stories and player-made missions came out of that…

But… there were a /LOT/ more not so good missions too… In order to find the decent ones, you had to often search though (no exaggeration here…) /thousands/ of pages of missions, a large majority of which were nothing but loot and exp farms. It got so bad, the Devs were nerfing rewards into the ground… Not because they really wanted to, but because they had no other choice.

Don’t get me wrong… I would /love/ to see a way for player-created content to be made, and the Fractals of the Mists is (in my opinion) a good opening for that. But unless they can find a way to balance the risk vs rewards for that kind of thing (if, indeed it can be found) then I’m not holding my breath for it.

Despite what I have said on the subject in the past, and the way the PvP crowd likes to mistreat others (only talking from my own experience, take it or leave it…) I’d support this… /IF/ it is kept over in the HotM.
Adjust PvP Arenas to allow it or just have a separate section for it.
It doesn’t need to be in PvE.

Isn’t that tomorrow though?
Still, a rather nice thought.
Happy Mothers Day Eve!

That is the unfortunate nature of trolls… You leave the game, they win. Sadly, that’s not going to change no matter what is done…
Believe me, I’m on your side on this. But what exactly is Anet supposed to do? They have made things in the game so that nobody can troll you in combat by stealing kills or resources on the map. They also have a block option (which admittedly, I think could use some slight improvement by also blocking emotes…) and if they are being too vitriolic, they can be reported for abusive behavior.
Beyond that though, nobody, not even Anet, can control how players will act. If they are dead set on being kitten -hats, then unfortunately, they will be kitten -hats.
As Karuna has pointed out above, Megaservers didn’t increase the amount of trolls. It’s just dragged them out from their slimy little hiding places even more then usual.

To be fair, Anet announced for a good while that things were changing in PvP and to use up what you had before the changes fully took place.
However, mitigating circumstances being what they are (in your case, being unable to log in for such a long time) puts you in a rather unfortunate position.
You could try taking the situation up with Support, but I’m not too sure there is much they can do about it.

Sekhmet.6153:

ShinjoNaomi.1896:

As it has been said here already… Anet can’t say or do /anything/ without people throwing a tantrum here on the forums.
Doomsayers and over-entitled whiners will continue to scream regardless, and they will make complaint thread after complaint thread in an attempt to make any perceived ‘issue’ seem a lot bigger then what it really is.

Dosvidaniya.3260:

And their army of white knights.

And always, a jab at the people who, for their own reasons, enjoy the game…

Two things. One, not every person who makes a thread that is a complaint or an issue with the game is over-entitled. In fact, no one on here is “over-entitled”. If you play GW2, you paid for the game and invested the most valuable resource a human being has, time. That investment plus the money for the game helped build GW2 into what it is today. Without that NCSoft and Anet doesn’t exist.

Did I say everyone? No. There are legitimate problems with this game. By all means, bring them up. Don’t be vitriolic about it.
‘Over-entitled’ comes into play when people think their opinion trumps any and everyone elses.
Yes, people paid for this game, just like everyone else that bought it. That doesn’t give people the right to act like jerks either.

Sekhmet.6153:

While some arguments are overdone and some people take it far, in a message board that is meant for discussion, these topics are valid. Just because you disagree with them and think Anet doesn’t deserve to get flack for it, doesn’t mean the people who complain are entitled.

If players never complained about what they didn’t like, most developers would never have a good idea of what gamers want since gamers are nearly unable to speak with their wallet, which is the main way most companies figure out what consumers want. Gamers are addicts in a sense that most gamers will buy nearly anything at first, therefore thats not an accurate gauge of what they may like for future content (obviously there are plenty of casual gamers that do not fit that description).

See what I said above. Constructive criticism should be encouraged. All I have seen on these forums recently is hardly constructive at all.

Sekhmet.6153:

And seeing lots and lots of topics don’t make an issue seem “bigger” than what it is. It makes it a big issue.

When one studies social media for any amount of time, they tend to see patterns in things when a certain group of people want to make an issue of something, regardless of what that something is… Plaster it as obnoxiously as possible wherever and whenever possible, thus inflating an ‘issue’ into something far bigger then it might really be. (The news media does it all the time. This is similar, if on a smaller scale…)
What happens here in these forums mirrors that too much from my perspective.

Some might see that as rather conspiratorial, and will say that I should just put on a tinfoil hat, but really, after a while you have to admit if a different agenda isn’t at play here aside from just ‘customer satisfaction’.

But, enough derailing the thread…

bluestocking.6148:

I’m always baffled by these threads. I know some of you people understand how programming works. So many things are dependent on other things, and you might not even realize change A broke system B until later on – and then you spend hours trying to reproduce the bug so you can fix it. It’s like you’re playing Jenga but some of the blocks are invisible so you don’t realize stuff was balanced on the block you pulled out until it collapses.

Even a seemingly insignificant change can have unexpected consequences. One person makes a text field slightly bigger (pets can now have 15-letter names instead of 12!*) and suddenly your whole game crashes.

Obviously they want to make sure as much of it works as possible, knowing that when they release it into the wild two dozen people will still manage to break something in a way they never anticipated anyway.

*based on a true story.

Two reasons for threads like these…

1) Trying to start drama…
2) Poking fun at said attempt to start drama.

Patch will get here when it gets here.

As has been said, NPC’s can break the rules. (It’s kind of been that way almost any and everywhere you go… Not just this game.)

I do recall back in the Beta (I think, and no, I don’t have any links, I’m working off of memory…) that all the races could wear everyone’s Cultural armor. But it caused a number of problems beyond just armor pieces clipping through each other.
The biggest of which was a bug that caused the outfits to completely vanish from a character, leaving them completely nekkid for a time… (which I believe is one of the reasons why the Flamekissed armor was pulled and changed, aside from the stupid QQ that erupted here on the forums… Just my opinion on that though. :p)

Honestly, I am rather tired of the ‘someone must die’ trope that has apparently become a media standard these days.

It’s one thing if it’s handled like the death of Boromir in the Lord of the Rings… He died a hero, even if he didn’t save Merry and Pippen from the Orcs, and in so doing, he redeemed himself from having succumbed to the temptation of the Ring and trying to forcibly take it from Frodo…

But that’s not how it seems to happen these days.
Lets take the scene on the Breachmaker as an example here… with the alternate ending here…

Marjory, after having taken the brunt of Scarlet’s last, desperate attack, is blasted back and dies. The final fight (we can assume) wouldn’t have been any different… Scarlet is still dead. The short cut scene probably shows Kass crying in grief before the giant drill hits the leylines anyway…

In this case, Jory’s death would have added nothing. We already had reasons to fight Scarlet and not like her, so there is nothing there. She wouldn’t have died saving anyone else. Her death would have been pointless except for no other reason to just make things more ‘edgy’ and ‘dark’…

Personally, I’m glad they didn’t kill her off like that. And while the fate of Lions Arch itself is a rather bitter sweet victory (the place /did/ get destroyed and a /lot/ of people were killed in that bloody blitzkrieg) I’m still glad for the ‘Happy Ending’ that Kass and Jory have…

-looks at the metric ton of posts on this forum that criticize things on this game-

Oh I don’t know… Maybe if one can level criticism without being vitriolic about it, then maybe it won’t get deleted.
And even then, some get past the forum moderators… They aren’t omnipresent, after all.
Food for thought there.

Despite the fact that there seems to be always at least /one/ person throwing the thinly-veiled cheap-shot in threads like this, for absolutely no other reason then because they can (enough with the Anti-Anet Agenda… Seriously, it’s gotten old…) I believe that Forum Moderation does indeed have a lot to do with it.
And truth be told? I’m glad for it.

People have their opinions. Sharing those opinions is good. Sharing those opinions in a vehemently negative fashion while deriding anyone that doesn’t share that opinion is not, regardless of what that opinion is.

This hit while I was fighting a wurm in Snowden. Though for sure that my game was glitching.
Good one, Anet… Good one. XD

ImProVocateur.5189:

Have you ever stood in a checkout line when the person before you reamed the cashier for something piddly or even irrational, then felt shocked to see such errant attitude rewarded with freebies and pathetic apologies by some hapless manager? Bad customers are treated as the preferred customers. Any questions?

Not exactly on topic, but you know, these kinds of people really just irk me to no end.
If you have an issue, is acting like an angry, spoiled 9 year old really necessary?
More times then not, these people are just trying to get something for free, or (and I’ve heard this) “I just like giving people a hard time…”
Terrible people are still terrible.

Sharing feedback, both positive and negative, is good. It helps to improve the game.

Unfortunately, what a lot of people do here is not giving feedback. It’s taking thinly veiled jabs at the developers and/or anyone else that doesn’t agree with their opinions, (while more often then not, the ones giving this vitriolic ‘feedback’ all too often have no clue what they are talking about, or are just outright Trolling.)
This tends to happen more from the negative side of things, hence that ‘negativity’ is more noticeable.

I’d contact the person that sent it first and, if a mistake has been made, then yes I would send it back.

I’ve never had anyone mail me anything by accident so far.

Used to see that all the time in Lions Arch. Some of the more obnoxious ones seemed to just spam the emote they were doing dozens and dozens of times.
Really frelling annoying… (and one of the reasons I personally don’t miss LA… I just didn’t seem to see that in the other cities nearly as much.)

Veckna.9621:

When have we, gamers, let efficiency take priority over having fun whilst playing a game?

When gamers stopped being just ‘Gamers’ who gave a darn about story and just having fun, and became min/max’ing power gamers who ’ain’t got time for dat’ stuff and who sees nothing but the final reward, and to hell with anything in between them and that.

Sure, the ’I’M GOING TO PLAY HOWEVER I WANT!!!’ crowd is quick to scream that litany over and over again, but we can hope that one day they might just realize that not everyone is going to think the same way, and that their freedom to ‘play how they want’ ends where another player freedom begins. (Not going to hold my breath on that though, with the internet community we have on the interwebs these days… :p)

Dr Ritter.1327:

brently.7946:

Hi,

I was in a solo arena match a few minutes ago and someone was typing in some oriental language. Another player then told the person to stop and called them a (only using the words as a reference from the chat) “rice picker.” They said this to the person twice during our short match.

I reported that player for taking his own issues with not being able to accept a different race or culture into the game. I also kindly told him(or her) I reported him(or her). Their reply was lololol I’ve never been banned for that. (not exact words )

So my question is, does Anet not care about racism? Will anything happen to this person or was he right to laugh at me for reporting because it’s a waste of time?

Reports should only be used for bots and spammers…If you can’t handle other people on a game you shouldn’t be playing an MMO or even using the internet…

If that is the case, then why are there other options for reporting people in game?

No. Verbal abuse and harassment should never be tolerated just because ’it’s the internet’.
Just because people can hide behind their computer monitors doesn’t make such actions okay…

Oh, just stumbled across this thread…
Well, lets see if I can do it some justice here…

I’m all for more vanity back pieces. Wings are a classic mainstay of fantasy games, so while some might say they are overdone, I still see nothing wrong with having them.
That being said, is it at all possible to have them respond a bit to how your character moves?
The Spinal Back piece for example. I rather do enjoy the look of that, and I like how the arms move a bit. But, could it be possible for them to move like they did on the Watchknights while they stood there before the events started? I simply loved the way they showed them off while just idling there.

Agree with the OP.
Say what you want, but it was a really ballsy move by Anet to destroy Lion’s Arch.
It wasn’t just ‘Oh some enemies show up and you fight them…’ sort of thing… Scarlet’s forces swooped in and hit LA like the German Blitzkrieg, and demolished the place.
And it shows… Sure, we eventually gained the city back, but the damage is done. Walking around is a sobering experience as you see the ruins of what was arguably the central hub of Tyria.
Should Lion’s Arch be rebuilt? I don’t see why not. But it should take a good while at least. Aside from a few buildings that managed to survive the attack, everything is rubble. And that should take a lot of time to clean up before any rebuilding is even considered.

Do I miss the Trinity?
No.

It absolutely amazes me what some people will do just to get their jollies off.

“I’m going to get an entire map full of people angry at me! Hur hur! This is going to be fun!”

Truly sad and pathetic, if you ask me.

And then get ready for the counter-flood of ‘stupid white knight’ insults spewed at people who -gasp- like the game.

There’s a difference there. I like the game, but I don’t defend it religiously like some people do. There’s a line between a fan and a fanatic.

The opposite is just as true.
I have some issues with the game, but I don’t come here, make complaint after complaint in as vitriolic a way as possible either, while deriding anyone who has a different opinion then me.
Just as there is a line between fan and fanatic, there is a line between simply having an opinion and shoving it down other peoples throats ad nauseum if people don’t agree with you.

I respect the fact that you think so, and I do agree, but that’s not the topic of the thread. Flytrap’s sarcastic post has a hidden point, which is that a lot of people (not saying you or anybody in specific) will support whatever ANet does/is doing regardless of the consequences.

For example, the whole Fractals debacle. Another example, PVP balance and the crappy meta that has been around for months. ANet needs to be held accountable for it.

In over a year and a half since release, every new armor set has been gem-store only. The whole end-game has become the gem store. Every release, new gem store armor! New finishers, new weapon skins, new everything that has to be paid for in money! Or gold! Because there’s nothing else to spend gold on since there is nothing else being added to the game but gem store items.

I respect that people will have different opinions. And that is perfectly fine (in fact, necessary for any improvement at all to happen.)

But, if we are going to say that it’s not the topic of this thread (which is a valid thing to say) then tell me how Flytrap’s sarcastic post helps things at all to begin with?
It does nothing but give a hostile throat-jab towards people who (for whatever reason) enjoy the game and happen to agree with how things are being done.
(Yeah yeah ‘Welcome to the internet, Shinjo…’ Doesn’t make it any less wrong…)

As for the topic at hand…
How many armor skins, weapon skins, items, etc. are in the game vs how many can be gained only from the Gem Store?
Has a side by side comparison been done yet? I honestly don’t know so I can’t weigh in on one side or the other on this… But it /seems/ to me that there are a lot more in the game already that can be gained without a single Gem needing to be spent.
Seriously, I’m rather curious about this now…

Taimi was fighting at the Marionette before others (like Logan and the B-iconics) realized it.
Afterwards, Logan seemed pretty angry that a child was in a war zone like that, and even ended up confronting Braham over it (because that was the first of the B-iconics he ran into.)
After that, I’d guess that everyone realized just how young she was and, despite how much she probably wanted to run into Lions Arch with her golem, nobody was letting her.
In other words, things have happened the way they did for a reason.

Why does she exist? Why not?

Because people like to complain.

Some complaints are valid.
Some not so much.
Then there are people that are just never happy, no matter what. And they make darn sure that everyone knows just how unhappy they are, as vehemently as possible.

Astralporing.1957:

That’s what WvW is for. The only point on which WvW is different from open world PvP is that in WvW potential victims are prepared for combat and generally capable of fighting back.
People that insist on open world PvP and say WvW is not enough for them, do that because what they really want is to be able to attack unsuspecting and generally defenceless targets. Not because they want duels.

This about sums it up.
People who think they should be ‘rewarded’ for their ‘hard work’ by being able to sadistically gank people who are significantly weaker then them and have no realistic chance to fight back.
Sorry, I’m not going to support online bullies and people with little ego problems.

Very much this. It doesn’t have to be anything major, but just something… Even just being able to throw all these extras into the Mystic Forge could work.

Heres a good one I just got recently… Oh, how the fire becomes her…

Huh… Interesting catch…
I wonder if this means that Scarlet has plunged Lions Arch into a Nightmare Pocket Dimension…
Could explain why you can’t WP directly in or out of LA anymore.

(More likely it’s just the difference of one environment fading into another as you move your character between areas… But, what fun is that? )

Nice to see that pro-Anet toxicity is unmoderated.

Yeah, community standards.

As opposed to the endless torrent of raging anti-Anet vitriol, bile and venom that gets spewed ad infinitum and ad nauseum…

Yeah, promoting that double standard.

Not really. I’ve never seen, yet, a complaint that told everyone that “liked” something to uninstall and go play another game. Legit or not, it is one thing to comment on game, gameplay and features, and something quite different to generally attack people who make those complaints.

On the whole I see more personal attacks upon “complainers” than I see personal attacks on people who like things.

Basically its “I don’t like this” responded to with “you are a horrid person, go away”

No, but I have seen people who ‘comment on game, gameplay and features’ in vehemently negative fashion also name-call, deride, belittle and insult anyone that has an opposing view, either blatantly or through thinly veiled jabs.

People want to sling mud, (and that /usually/ starts from the negative side of things) but then get righteously indignant when people, who are sick and tired of getting insults thrown at them, start slinging it back.

Lets face it. There are people who seem to devote their lives to bashing this game endlessly here. (To be fair, every game out there has those kind of people…)
/Nothing/ Anet does is good.
/Every/ part of this game is an anathema to them. And they make sure that /everyone/ knows how eternally ‘disappointed’ they are with things in as vehemently a way as possible.
Those are the ones that I have to ask ‘Why are they still here?’

Killer, you can’t touch this.

… Is that even in GW2? o.O

Well, the Zodiac armors all look good to me.
Are they practical from a real life standpoint?
No.
But, I don’t play this game, or any others for that matter, for realism.
Also, on the topic of making the blue part of the armor color changeable…
Eh, I am neutral on the idea.
More options for coloring are good, I guess. But they certainly aren’t necessary for me to enjoy the armor.

Let us continue to make a big flipping deal out of nothing!

Oh no… You have to use the azura gates now (which are completely free…) or -GASP!- use a Way Point for a pittance of silver! The absolute /horror/ of having to actually move your character from one part of the game world to another…
The sky is falling… the end is nigh…

Pardon me while I go use my now completely broken Molten Pick and cry rivers of tears over how it doesn’t work anymore… because Anet rolled out the Watchwork pick… How could you ANET?! HOW COULD YOUUUU?!

/sarcasm off

Now that I have got that out of my system…

Have they included anything with the airship pass that you can not do in the game?
The answer is no.
For gods sake, stop trying to make mountain ranges out of molehills…

It’s a shame I can only hit the +1 button once.
Seriously, this is an awesome idea. A definite buy from me if it was put in the Gem Store.
