Guild Wars 2

Hi, I have the same issue. I followed dulfy’s guide and have backtracked every single one while comparing to dulfy’s video to reconfirm the coin location.

I’m stuck at 29/30.

well, that’s about it.

DevonCarver.5370:

I’ll make a couple of points here to hopefully clarify this issue.

1) It takes a very large amount of time and effort to make a new map. It’s definitely more than a 6 month process from start to finish. Especially if we are talking about building a new borderlands taking all the thing we’ve learned since the game came out into account. With that in mind it’s a big task. It took us a little under a year to get EotM built and shipped from conception to release. So that is a more reasonable timeline for a new map.

2) The area we added to Obsidian Sanctum was in progress prior to the incident mentioned above and, while it didn’t take a particularly large amount of time, was still a process of over a month. We don’t release map changes without thorough testing. Keep in mind that was just a small change to an existing map, not a completely new map.

3) We currently, unfortunately, don’t have the ability to rotate maps in and out of the game in the manner discussed above. We have talked about this concept many times and it is something we’d like to be able to do long term, but it is not a small task given the technical structure of our game.

All of those things being true, we absolutely want to make new maps for WvW and when we have them ready to talk about and show off, believe me we will. It’s very important to us that when we do release a new WvW map it is a clear example of what we think the ideal WvW map would be. That means we will test the heck out of it and do everything we can to make sure it is even more awesome than the current maps. I realize this isn’t a timeline or an answer to where are more maps, but it’s as much as we can give you right now and it hopefully gives some insight to the size of the task. As I said, as soon as we have more to talk about or show, you will hear it.

DevonCarver.5370:

I can appreciate that many people don’t like EotM, but don’t conflate a lack of updates that you personally like with a lack of updates. WvW has added a great deal of content and rewards over just the last calendar year.

Hopefully you will find more you like in future updates and we’ll continue to add to the game.

I joined guild wars 2 thinking there are something really “guild” related, but I got scammed.

Air and Fire is the “IN” thing in pvp, condi is quite useless.

wvw is never that interesting to begin with….
it is normal to gradually become bored with it and move on to next game

Only modifications to the game client itself is not allowed.

Yep, is a random bug. This is the first time it occurred to my guild. I am unsure of the cause. The closest reference to similar event bugs will be the event bugs occurred in cursed shore during the first year of guild wars 2 which quick fix involve restart of the instance or server.

If rebuilding aka redesigning WvW is the only way to make WvW really interesting. Then, anet need to truly make proper plans on how to create a self-sustained system for WvW which means players are given the choice to greatly influence the WvW systems. However, most of the plans that I can think of will result in huge negativities and true hardcore level of gameplay which is not wanted in gw2. The hardcore level can be downplayed but the negativities are inevitable. However, I am sure there are many talented and creative people in the company, so, I am sure they are capable of finding ground breaking ways to bring about a pking gameplay which has less negativity.

If they are from different server, they need to guest.

40 to 50 people participated the guild puzzle, when at the area which require the use of bombs to clear the walls, that area got bugged out. The bug is that the timer for the event is not started when we enter the area, so, we are unable to cross the wall area since we keep getting teleported to the starting area. We thought we are experiencing Edge of Tmr….

Having all of us exiting the area does not reset the area.

Risks:
1. Lesser people do WvW
2. Even lesser people do WvW.
3. Even Even lesser people do WvW.

You might want to review your suggestions.

titan….the one that push hod and ruled wvw for a month?

the main difference from titan time and now is that there is no more free transfer.

There are a few unannounced dungeon changes. What players really hate are re-learning things they thought they already mastered. Players do not hate learning new things but not re-learning things.

It isn’t a big deal to old regular player like myself since these changes, in my perspective, are minor. However, to the newer players who might have learn how to do dungeons yesterday, or a few days or maybe a week ago, might be confused about the sudden change. To the returning players, these changes will make them feel the game is completely different and will be at a lost, then decided not to play again.

Haters are the loudest, does it answer your question?

3. Server Pride. Because the maps are the same for each team and because there is no tie back to a particular race or alliance, it is much harder to build pride especially with the more PvE focused people who play a bit of WvW but couldn’t tell you who commands different servers. A relic system that would impact PvE easy or difficulty or change loot drop rates would immediately get people interested in winning.

Relic system, reminded me of certain games I played. Those games are so hardcore that will put gw2 so-called hardcore players to shame.

Decline…

1. Population decline. Is gw2 having the same or even more population compared to day 1? Nope, of course not. People complain about empty servers when these servers used to be so filled during day 1. This reason alone answered everything you need to know about WvW decline and it is not just WvW declining. The game itself is declining.

2. Why is population declining? This have been discussed over and over again, resulting in nothing conclusive. There are just way too many reasons and factors.

So, you looking to be spoon fed for everything. I see.

Ermm…..

It is pretty much the end-game re-playable content.

Yes, people can argue that PvP, WvW and maybe FOTM are the so-called endgame but these do not have the rewarding and competitive feel from typical endgame content in other MMORPG.

PvP is alright, is pretty good.
WvW, the match is too long tbh, it is unrealistic for a game tbh. For example, why is counterstike popular? If counterstrike is to have a long match that require long hours to decide winner, will it still be popular? If WvW is to become a more intense short war, it did be more interesting than a long week war. Of course, I’m speaking this from the SEA perspective, since the NA hours are not short of intense war.

Though, there isn’t really anything to complain since gw2 target the mainstream and not the hardcore portion.

If you have a injury that requires complete rest and putting additional stress to the injury will result in unrepairable consequences, then, it is better not to.

I have more than 10k AP….
Being playing since pre launch.

Done all the living stories, dungeons, ermmm, basically, all the contents possible. Now, I am just trying to practice all the classes and master them, in term of pvp.

Yes, there isn’t any update that really blow your mind off, at least, to the old players.

People will say that WvW is the only reason to play gw2. Well, tbh, WvW is boring for me. It is nothing more than the usual zerg kill zerg, you stack here or there, you dodge left or right, you either smack them or be smacked. While people are panicking over incoming, I am playing PvZ2 on my hp. It is not hard to notice that the number of WvW players has been declining since launch as well, it just simply prove that WvW is boring as well when you play long enough.

PvP is fun, but that fun-ness don’t last. What keeps people going is that competitiveness but even competitiveness don’t last.

Anet don’t seem to care about old players, they just want to sell more copies and gem items, satisfy the newer players, since that’s the source of the revenue anyway.

isnt that diablo hardcore mode? death is permanent

hammer war is preferred in a organised raid due to its CC, tankiness, condi convertion and removal (depending on the build), basically, good team player

engineer has nice aoe, tankiness and flexibility (depend on build) but I cant comment much about how good it is when come to team support since I don’t use engineer. engineer is not in the most wanted list when come to organised raid

pvp push my limit in term of knowledge of skills, combo, rotations, judgement etc.

wvw on other hand, test my creativeness on builds due to gears and food combinations. also, maybe how to play in a large team though i already know how to do so from my other games experiences…

the only reason i ever do wvw is due to the large scale battle so i never get to understand why people like to roam and such where these small scale battle can be done in pvp

TBH, despite many looking forward to the guild halls, I don’t know what is the purpose of a guild hall.

I think the guild hall is related to GW1? With guild hall means the possibility of system supported GvG leaderboard?

Anyway, the game’s guild related gameplay is underdevelop.

Indeed, housing is stupid. Give the players the options to build towns and allow the towns to wage war with each others. =)

I started playing multiplayer games since 1998, I was a kid. Warcraft 2, Age of Empires, Starcraft etc etc. I started out from RTS genre, playing against friends then moving on to fight against players around the world. As I progress, I became more “hardcore”, I joined a 5-men team and entered the competitive scene, going up against renowned local players and teams, joining competitions and etc.

However, I do not understand what kind of feelings you are trying to find back. Are you looking to make like-minded friends, friends who are similar in term of skills and interested in moving from one game to another? If that is so, it did be difficult to find in this game, you will have a better luck if you search in a grind game.

PS: my english sucks =(

TBH, asia guilds don’t post in official forums much.

knightblaster.7420:

It’s a pretty fundamental philosophical/design difference.

WildStar has been envisioned from the beginning as being a game that was trying to feature the kind of difficulty that existed in MMOs (even the leveling game) prior to WoW’s expansions. The concept was to create a game that was, from the very beginning of it, tailored to meet the needs and desires of the most hardcore, high-skill-cap players in the MMO community — a group which often feels like its needs are overlooked in MMOs these days. So, WildStar from soup to nuts is catering to the most intense, hardcore, high skill gamer — that’s it’s own niche. I think it will be successful in that niche, but there are many other players who play MMOs these days who are moderately skilled at best and are not hardcore — they will be punished by WildStar’s design, and will not find it rewarding --> and, that’s okay because they are not WildStar’s target audience. The most hardcore, skill-cap oriented players are what they are going for.

GW2 has a completely different philosophy behind it — the idea here was to appeal primarily to the casual gamer by eschewing (for the most part) endgame progression gear treadmills, locking substantial content up in parts of the game reserved for high skill-cap or high time-cap players, and so on. It’s a design that, from the get-go, was certainly destined to alienate the hardcore, high skill cap contingent of the MMO community, precisely because the entire design here is not something that revolves around their needs, but rather the more average, moderate skill, casual player who wants to play for a bit, have some fun, have easy seamless grouping, good QoL features and so on, and then log off, without feeling pressured to do anything in particular to keep up with everyone and mot be left behind the curve and become a social laughingstock in a video game.

So, as far as I can tell, you can’t really get two games that are more philosophically dissimilar than GW2 and WildStar. Almost 180 degrees different in philosophy and intended audience.

wow…….
nicely written, good descriptions….
i wish my english as fluent as your’s =((

The “bad” part of WvW community are those vocal WvW people. They are freaking loud and these loud people are the one influencing and implanting ideas into others.

I realise I was being implanted and then I start to distant myself from these vocal WvW players. It works pretty well. I got my inner peace back and with that I get my guild back on track and the guild has become even bigger and has better social environment than before.

So, at the end of the day, you must know who are the people you should mix with and not mix with.

If people are really here to play a game, then there should be no talks of prides and egos, even provocative actions like throwing useless siege sites to taunt. If people are really here to play a game, then the fightings and the process are what important

EU has a teq killing guild, forgot the name though.

The end is the start of a new beginning….

Thus….

Queensdale train over? NP! Let start one at other starter map.

You can spend 15 euro worth of gem each month, take that as your sub fee.

Any updates on this month’s patch?

i have 6.9k hours!

basically, rangers lack team-oriented build like some mentioned

though one can argue they can fit for long range combat, but how useful will that long range combat be when fighting against zerg? how useful will that range combat be when standing on the wall, you still have to adjust yourself before you can even shoot the people below the wall

thus, people don’t recommend it even if it can kill people but killing is not enough

5 rangers, all glass. Piercing arrows, eagle eye, air and fire sigil. Strong singke + pierce damage. All the commander needs to do is issue a target. One ranger runking 60260 has insane cc and cleanse (self) coupled with up to 6k AA on lb. This is the dps you can get in spvp. Wvw you may reach 7-8k, the build gives you glass damage and 20k HP.

If you survive 5 railgun rangers you have blown all heals, invulns, stances, blocks and evades. And rangers are all about continuous damage, so there will be no “downtime” between bursts.

5 rangers, ranging people, sounds amazing. But you seems to be referring to a situation where you are in a open space. Do you think ranger can perform so great in a closed area where people are so near to one another.

Even in open space, the zerg only have to use body as shield, you down a few person, they just gonna warbanner them up and keep charging forward. No more stability? No worries, you are in a zerg, all the zerg have to do is to cover each other up. Imbol? Same thing, you are in a zerg. When they reach you, do you think ranger will still be useful?

This is not total war, you place archer infront and get rid of some incoming forces. Then your melee force will skirmish with their melee force. Nothing like that will happen, people just gonna walk and cut through you.

This is a large scale fight not some sPvP where you can just poke point defender while standing outside to death, that’s what most ranger do nowadays in sPvP anyway, poking people.

Those MMO that focus on grind and gears give a sense of competitiveness. It is hard but there are people who are going through it with you. It is slow but there are people chatting with you. It is the difficulty of climbing up and obtaining the best gears that keep one interested. After you climbed up, there are still things for you to do and achieve.

Gw2 is just simply easy in everything. The so-called best gears isn’t amazing, it is very disappointing. When you reach 80 and go through most of the things, you will realise that there isn’t anything in this game.

The players that are more hardcore will continue be playing those games while the softcore players will continue to whine and whine and whine.

In those games, it is quite easy to lead 100+ players because these 100+ players will actually follow your command. You don’t really see that happening in gw2.

basically, rangers lack team-oriented build like some mentioned

though one can argue they can fit for long range combat, but how useful will that long range combat be when fighting against zerg? how useful will that range combat be when standing on the wall, you still have to adjust yourself before you can even shoot the people below the wall

thus, people don’t recommend it even if it can kill people but killing is not enough

wvw isnt special…

it is fun fighting large scale battle and winning it
it is fun fighting bigger crowds and winning it, even losing yet able to kill a portion of them has a nice feel.

but, a MMO is really fun not because of those “feelings” of accomplishing amazing feats, leading troops and then win amazing battles, hearing praises that you are awesome, beating people who are obviously less skilful than you, feed your egos and belittling people, etc…

a MMO is only really fun when you play with the right people, doing silly things and enjoying those small little moments with these people..

The problem with teq is that it doesn’t scale nicely. The problem complicated when the participants don’t use power related build, buffs and such against teq itself. It become even worse when the people do not stack on designated spot, it become crazily worse if there is no com to stack on. It become near impossible when the turret users sucks. It become impossible when people do not know what to do.

1. A airship which I can pilot in
2. I can use the airship to pew pew pew in WvW

The moderator will merge this thread with the feedback :]

Nerf as in remove critical damage completely?

Let see, not a big change, warriors and guardians will still have their place.
