If the different part is done right, there won’t be any whining or fits being thrown. Just saying.
They haven’t done ANYTHING yet, though. That’s what irks me about the pushback.
This is busy-work. This is just relatively mindless stuff to keep people occupied while larger stuff is prepared in the background. That’s the impression I’ve always had, at least from the statements I have heard.
But there are these masses who have just slapped their hands over their ears, and decided the ONLY way to properly unveil such large scale content is with an expansion… citing the previously described busy work as evidence that it can’t be done. Nope. Not possible. We NEEDS our expansion!
I don’t get the pushback. Why the hell are we complaining that a company is entertaining giving us an expansion’s worth of content for FREE, in the hopes that it’ll entice us to buy from their in-game store? Why the hell aren’t we saying, “Okay! We’ll take free stuff! Give it your best shot!”
It’d be one thing if they tried to release an expansion through the living story, and it turned out to be too large to be reliably sent via download for enough players… or had a ton of mechanical errors… or any other roadblocks that get in the way. I mean then I could understand a cry of, “Ya know… this isn’t working. Just package it up, let us give you $50, and we can go from there.”
But it hasn’t even been TRIED yet, and we’ve got gamers here already declaring it a a failure. I just don’t get it. Actually… no, I do get it. Gamers hate change, and they always have. They resisted Steam. They resisted DLC. They pushed back against ANY change to the way they had become comfortable with.
Gamers like to think they’re hip and progressive. They’re not. And they never really have been outside of their own minds.
Stands to reason that if they are, in fact, working on bigger things behind the scenes and the LS bullkitten is just there to keep the masses busy, they would tell us, no?
Something along the lines of "In case it wasn’t known, GW2 was released prematurely. As such, we have made what we call the “Living Story/World”, which will continue it’s path while we, ANet, work on something larger <expansion or not> for you guys."
But, I don’t think that’s the case. I think the LS is what they’re banking on. And it isn’t working. So, we need a new plan of action.

Gamers… yet again the force of stagnation.
Can’t do ANYTHING different, or we’ll whine and pitch a fit. Just give us more of the same.
If the different part is done right, there won’t be as much whining or fits being thrown. Just saying.

More fun account-bound things, less RNG. Definitely a win.
I’m so confused. What does RNG has anything to do with the gathering tools? They were never RNG to begin with.
It’s referring to what Lanfear said about ANet listening to the players’ requesting the dagger and staff from the last LS to be purchasable directly instead of through the BLC.

I have already addresed that issue Vayne. I am not saying an LS team should work on it. I am saying that a team should work for a whole cycle to release a patch that only addresses bugs within the game.
But what should the rest of the employees do during that time then?
All those that can’t fix bugs?
Should they just sit down and do nothing?If not, why can’t they release both fixes and new content? As they are doing now?
No one said they have to sit back and twiddle their thumbs staring off into space. They could still work on the LS stuff. If they get more time, maybe we’d get something that doesn’t become zerg content after the first hour or so after release. Maybe more thought out as well.

Do you know how many players log into Guild Wars 2 every day? Cause I don’t think anyone does.
ANet does. Yet they still release concurrencies instead of quarterly player totals. Player totals are more useful than concurrencies.

Saying Tequatl is just a “stack and DPS!” boss is like saying most WoW bosses are “spread out and DPS!” bosses…
If you just stacked and DPS’d Teq, you will lose. Every time.
So you’re telling me, after Teq is stunned, that people don’t stack and DPS race him down? I said “in the end” for a reason.
And WoW bosses have a thing called mechanics. It makes fights more interesting.
So….what you’re saying…is that if at any point there is DPS, that now that whole fight boils down to stack and DPS? Really? That means every boss ever boils down to DPS, in any game. You realize that’s how you kill things right? By damaging them? So disregard every other bit of the encounter?
No offense, but your precious WoW bosses can be stripped down to DPS checks too if you look at it that way. DPS DPS DPS, spam heal spam heal, move to get out of enemy AoE/some kind of special attack, DPS DPS DPS. What’s the difference? I played WoW for 5 years as a healer, I can tell you that 95% of my time was spent staring at health bars with the occasional left or right strafe to avoid some choreographed attack. Uh oh everyone here comes that big AoE, run away!! Ok, it’s done, back to DPS.
Who said anything about only DPS? I said stack and DPS. That’s what the point was. Did I ever say in any previous post “GW2 is all DPS. There’s nothing else to GW2 other than DPS. Other games don’t have DPS.”
Reading comprehension. It’s lacking. What I’m saying is: Stack mechanics are prevalent. That makes bosses boring to do. And most bosses on GW2 are just that.
Were you by any chance doing Vanilla or BC raids where you strafed occasionally? Because current content raids and more so heroics require more input than anything on GW2.
Also note, I never said WoW was precious to me. Nice try assuming that.

Tequatl, The Viscount, the Skeletal Lich and the Labyrinthine Horror would all like to have a word with you.
In the end, even these are “stack and DPS!” bosses. 95% of the bosses in the game can be taken down by doing the same thing. So your argument is invalid as well.
On topic:
OP, log in and and see for yourself. That’s really the best thing to do. You’ll get different people saying different things on the forums and it’ll make you sway either way. But the best option is to log in and give the game a shot again for an hour or two. You’ll know after that what you should do.

Yes and that they will contact us somehow afterwards when it’s done……..
Since people visit the forums, that’s how we’ll be contacted. That nice red bar at the top will keep us updated. Don’t worry.
Those who don’t visit the forums every so often might be stuck having to load the client a few times every hour to check.
Very, very efficient method, right?
They said in game they will contact us when it’s over. I don’t think at all that means they will update the client log in screen with a message to say “hey it’s over now” for those that do not access these forums.
Hey I’m not worried about it I had only planned to log in, do my daily then log out and play some Civ5 anyways. I was just curious about that message.
When someone says “we will let you know/contact you” (not 100% on the exact wording now but very similar" it means that, not “watch this space”.
I can imagine some people taking it serious and or wrong and worried they may phone them up all something lol, but I’m not one. Just curious like I said. :P
lol
I don’t care either way as I don’t play. I was just saying that’s probably how they’ll do it. I doubt they’ll email everyone. So the next logical step would be either the client or the forums. Maybe both. Who knows.
I lol’d pretty hard at them calling people and then I thought coming in person. Just amusing thoughts.

14 months later, this surfaced. Where was it before then?
Being totally honest, you don’t know if the Collab Dev will actually be used or not. Are you 100% certian that anything being said in that thread will be taken into account and eventually implemented? It could all be a PR stunt. Not saying it is or that it isn’t.
It’s like if we’re talking, and we’re pitching ideas for a new shop we’re going to order. What we’ll sell, and all that. We take surveys from people and ask them to write down some suggestions. Do we have to take all of them in and start selling things people say? No. We can choose to, or we can pick a few out, or we can not do any of the things suggested. It’s like that at this moment in time.
ANet could be saying “Oh yea, that’s great!”, “I like that. I’ll throw it to the team.” Do you know it’s being done? Again, the answer is no. So basically, we have nothing to go on other than a bit of trust, right?

This is might be a bit of a far-fetched idea, but what if we included PvP within a DE.
For example, a powerful artifact was unearthed in the middle of Gendarren Fields, and all three orders of Tyria want their hands on it. As a result, GF turns into a warzone between players belonging to each order, with objectives for each order and towns/villages turning into capture points for each order WvW style.
Depending on who ultimately fulfills their objectives and ends up getting their hands on the relic, different DEs can stem from it.
“Keep PvE out of PvP, and PvP out of PvE.”
Seriously though. Doing something like that could cause more outcry than not doing that. Some people just hate PvP and the forums would be full of post asking ANet why and to remove it.
The PvPers might not care. Many of them don’t PvE anyway.
The thing that’s different about this is that there’s no real rewards to winning or losing, which makes it a bit different from the traditional sense of PvP. unless you cared about your order than much anyways.
Even if it’s different, it’s still PvP in aspect. It’s players fighting other players. And there are many many people who are dead set on not doing that kind of playing. It’s like Factions. Separate the players based on their Order choice.
As far as caring about the Orders, I would be willing to be maybe a handful actually care about them. It’s all about the Salad in the end.
Flesh out the Orders. It’s like the personal part of the personal story. Around the middle or so, you don’t have that much to do with the Order you chose. What about having something to do after we beat Zhaitan? I’d be willing to keep in touch with my Order through some missions or anything.

So in GW2 farming is more about team work where in other mmorpgs farming is more about composition.
Let’s be honest here. Farming in GW2 is the same as farming in any other MMO. The only difference is you can blob up on GW2.
Whether that’s good or bad lies in personal preference.

The problem is not the Zerg . Zerging can be done in a POSITIVE way . If.we are 50 people why not making this experience hardcore ? Something that you can’t get in dungeons with only 5 people . My point is : what’s the point of zerging if it’s boring because you don"t do anything . The most add a scaling system . More people = more mobs , harder mobs and more LOOT .
You guys are blind ? Don’t you want a challenging experience that you cant get elsewhere , even fractals lv 50+ could be easy compared to an event you can create with 50 people . Seriously stop being lazy , that’s why you are bored because it’saeasy nd boring as hel . As I said harder content is more fun because there’s a challenge and a risk and more loot if it’s completed . I’m honestly dissapointed by this wasted opportunity .
We’ve seen what ANet considers hard and fun. Teq was good for 2 weeks, because it was part of the LS. After that, it’s a desert with a dedicated Guild or two killing him. As far as loot is concerned, we’ve also seen how that works.
So no, I really don’t want anything on the ANet definition of hard and fun. Because, quite frankly, it’s not fun.
And the “create your own difficulty and fun” that you talk about is a nice concept. I personally would like something like that sans the Teq experience because in essence it was a DPS race all the way through. Given the track record, we might see something like that in about 5 years. Not including push backs of up to 2 years. Also not including bug fixes and balances for at least 1 year. Basically, I’m saying it won’t happen.

Highest population servers are currently Jade Quarry, Blackgate, and Tarnished Coast. No one aside from ANet is sure how many are on the server numberwise, so the highest population server is difficult to pick.
Why do you want the highest population server?

Stop being lazy , arenanet did a nice move to nerf it . Pressing 111 ina blob of players without any strategy . Should give only 1 silver+ 1 drop and some mats . You can farm dungeons which give way more than champtrain, dungeons are as easy but at least it’s not in a giant blob.
It’s not that they did it. It’s the principle. I personally don’t do the champ farms but I know people who do. Why punish the champ farmers and not the dungeon runners? Some dungeon runners are just as rude as some champ farmers, and on the other end of the spectrum, some are kind as well.
And ~80% of the game can be done by pressing 1 without any strategy and ~95% of the game can be done without any strategy pressing mostly 1. Just saying.

Players set a clear signal to ANet: The new Tequatl is a failure.
We’ll see if this is actually true or not. My bet is that it didn’t send any signal and the next revamps are on the same level as Tequalt and world bosses will just sit there for 15 minutes untouched after the initial 2 weeks since they’ll probably be introduced through the Living Story.

I believe if they do make them Teq level difficulty, the area will be a ghost land just like Teq with a dedicated guild taking him down and very few servers even attempts.
Double true if they do it throught a Living Story sequence.
They should have more mechanics than being another numbers game. Everything in this game is turning into a numbers game.

Do you know how many loot bags I’m missing out by standing at a tower that’s getting trebbed running back and forth from the supply depot to the wall repairing trying to get that achievement instead of champ farming?

Each arc last for about 2 weeks. After that, it’s gone and you can’t do it again. Whichever is the current arc, that’s the one that you can do.
There have been a few that are permanant, but most aren’t. Some might be returning in the future though, albeit a kittenanged.
Every two weeks, a new Living Story element is released. There’s one going on now alongside the Halloween event.
There is a Herald in each city that you can talk to if you’re lost. But usually, you get some in game mail that shows you what’s happening in the LS arc and at the bottom of the mail, there’s a “show me” button. You can hit it to show you where the LS arc is taking place. Once you’re there, there’s a golden starburst, either a NPC or some object, and interacting with it will start you on the patch.
To sum it up:
No, most of the LS you can’t go back and do because it’s temporary. Every two weeks you have a new LS element that shows up for some reward and some achievement points. After one is released, another will be on the same schedule almost. Talk to a herald or check your in game mail to see what the current arc is and where it’s started from.
Hope it helps.

It boils down to the following list.
Alts are useful for:
- Knowing how another profession plays and the builds that are available to play for said profession,
- Trying a different role for some of the professions (melee/ranged DPS, support, condition damage),
- Farming various nodes for whatever reason (crafting, selling, hording),
- Having something different to play when you get tired of your main, and
- Having something to keep you busy when you get bored, be it armour that character or get some cosmetic you’ve wanted.
Other than that, alts are kind of useless. Might be more but that’s really all that I can see that alts are worth even leveling for this game. Unless you’re an altoholic. I have a friend who has ~3 of each caster profession, which I’m not even sure why someone would do that, but, hey, it’s their game. They can play how they want.

I loathe WoW and all gear-based games, GW2 is an island in an ocean of monotony.
Amusing because that’s exactly where this game is heading.
On topic:
It gets down to player preference really. You’re not missing much as you level up. It’s basically the same thing you’ll be doing after you hit max level. Do what everyone else has done. Try it for a while. If you don’t like it, then you just don’t like it. There’s no way of forcing yourself to like a game.
In the end, you lose a bit of time and what you initially paid for the game if you don’t like it and decide to walk away. On the other hand, if you like it, then that’s good too. You found a new game to play.

If other players join me in this approach then that will force ArenaNet to finally listen.
If only it were true. Sad when you think of what the reality is. You’ll have people say “Yeah!” and then next LS update something will come up for 800 gems and they’ll jump on it. Not all, but many will. And that’s still revenue, no matter how small.
Wow.
Giant HP bags are basically timers that say “The better your gear is, the less time to have to make a mistake and fail.”
The bosses in this game can always 2 or 3 shot you, no matter what gear you’re in.
If you don’t see how dodge or die mechanics relate to the power level of the game, you shouldn’t be having this discussion.
Clearly shown by the “stack and spank” mentality that most bosses/legendaries in this game have, correct?

Because a lot of the content is fun to play…for many of us, anyway.
Personal preference as well. What you think is fun and what I think is fun are two very different things. I don’t consider rehashed content to be fun. You do. I don’t consider spamming 1 while in a huge fight fun. You might. See the problem?
I played WoW for a long time. I still do from time to time. I do raids. I like that. It’s fun for me. Is it fun for you? Probably not.
Teq might be a raid, but it’s not the raid type that I like. I don’t like a raid boss with two mechanics. I like at least half a dozen that require more coordination from the team than “STACK! DROP BOONS! BUBBLE! OK KEEP STACKED TIGHT AND DPS SOME MORE GUYS WE GOT THIS GUY!”
That’s not a raid. That’s what we do in WvW to the Castle Lord and Tower Lords, and..oh, almost every champion/legendary/boss in the game.
I personally would prefer him to be instanced, but the 5 player limit makes me feel like it would be a kittenty as kitten experience.

To the dude above me. You need to go back and play those games. I currently raid and play with friends in all of them, and in comparison to gw2 how it is now, vs last Oct the ‘grind’ you are talking about is 150% easier in wow etc, in fact its so easy that i geared up a brand new toon in full purple gear in heroic raiding in under one month and that was not playing more than twice a week. I haven’t been able to touch that here. So your comparison is bad since you obviously don’t play those games, you like to use as a comparison for what grind even means, and sit here and defend guild wars.
This game has way more of a grind than anyone wants to admit. You should just own up to it.Yeah I read his long winded post. The Sixtheenth has some fairly significant miss conceptions about how math works and the current state in other games. In 2 months of casual play in WoW PvP. I can have All BiS for non rated players. If I get go for rating that season and get it the moment I get 2200 then I go get the rated weapon. It’s always entertaining to pick out the people that just babble about other games that really don’t have a clue about them.
I, too, usually find that it takes about 2 months in WoW for me to have a PvE and PvP set at the level I’m comfortable with. I don’t do heroic raids so gear out of LFR/normal raids and heroic dungeons is fine. And, for the most part, I’m fine with honor PvP gear just to have a set as I no longer do arenas.
And, I find that the short/steep power curve in WoW is actually easier than GW2’s long/low power curve. As mentioned, when a new tier drops in WoW I grind for a couple months and I’m done. The rest of the tier I can relax and play what I enjoy. With the long/slow grind of GW2 the grind is never over. That sword is always over your head—especially if you are an altoholic. One thing GW2 has taught me is that a short/steep power curve can actually be easier on you in terms of grindiness.
In WoW, if I took an extended break, the chances of me being able to do the current content was slim to none. Why? Because the current content needed Tier Z to play though, but I missed the Tier Y and Tier X raids, so I have to start at Tier X raid to get the content, but since it is old content it was very very difficult to find people go through months of raiding that so I can get my gear to go to the next raid that gave me Tier Y gear which took months of raiding, which is needed to be able to play the Tier Z raid, which took months of raiding so I can actually play through the next raid.
In WoW, if you didn’t keep up with raiding, and left for extended periods of time, you were literally locked out of the content. In Guild Wars 2, this is not the case, you leave the extended amount of time, don’t have ascended gear, you were not literally locked out of content.
I guess you missed the part where this is 2013 and Blizz has had gear vendors you can buy with gold to run current content forever now.
Even before that you just do some dungeons for a couple weeks and you’re there… laziness doesn’t = locked out of content.
Then they must have taken some queues from Anet by making sure people are not locked out of content because they didn’t have the right gear. But when I played WoW, the only way to get the gear for the next raid was to raid the previous raid, and it would take several months to the gear you needed, and that is if the gear dropped that you needed.
Of course they took queues from ANet. Since the vendors on WoW were added late 2011/mid 2012. And GW2 was out then, right?
Not every MMO took something from GW2. In fact, GW2 took things from other MMOs. It’s basically a cherry picked game where all the best things from other MMOs was taken and put into one and tried to improve on. How well that was done can be judged individually.

On a side note making someone open a lot of doors and get a certain silly amount of stuff so they can even do the dungeon is not fun either for many..You don’t need to do anything except go through a door in Kryta to get to the Labyrinth.
Thats fine if true i thought you needed a candy corn mini to pass the dungeon, either way, the rest is still true for a lot of players.
I think the mini is only for the final stage or whatever of the Halloween event. I could be wrong.

Have you been in the intance this year? Every group i have been in dies to the candy corn guy because they don’t know how to stand in candy goo, or dies to the litch because they don’t learn when they attack the little skeletal dudes they reflect damage.
Now I do agree champ farms give more gold/hr. but I don’t agree to the standing around auto attacking part…. well unless you are the guy I see standing there with all of his gear broken and dead 90% of the fight.
I kill the viscount and the lich once per day this year. If you aren’t dead yourself, you’ll kill it. Doesn’t matter how many ppl died to the barrage.
You must not be on my server. I have played all day for the past few days in there and we have downed the lich one time, and viscount maybe 3 times. Is my server really that bad… Can I pay for a server transfer?
~edit~
Today there has been no one in the instance. We literally have like 7 people in there max.
Seems like your server is dead then. You can pay for transfers. What server are you on?

Warrior or Guardian imo. Those are good starter professions to roll.

Good laugh. Not talking about the OP or his Tweeting friend though.

Ascended is also rather easy to acquire. Sure it takes time, but it is still easy.
Getting Exotic at release took quite some time as well
Because buying it off the TP and/or crafting it was pretty hard, right?

If they didn’t build the game around Exotics at release why would they suddenly build the game around Ascended now?
Because “things change”. Isn’t that what the counter argument of this topic is? So there’s your answer.

If I’m going to have to work for gear, I’d rather do dungeons, dailies and PvP then run mindless champ trains and mess around with time gated crafting. More fun that way.
Bro, you don’t even have to do any of that to get Ascended. You just need to do a ton of events or play as you normally do. I surmise about ~10 hours a day, doing everything that you see will get it for you. And you’re also having fun. Isn’t that a great thing!?

I’ll be pretty amused when people start posting threads on LFG post that are “LF <whatever> FULL ASCENDED!” and they require the armour and weapon pings in chat. Remember how it was when CoF P1 was popular. Groups wanted that ping else you’d get kicked pretty fast.
“It doesn’t affect me, I don’t do it/I only play with friends/I don’t join elitist”.
Cool story. Needs a bit more feeling to it though.
