Guild Wars 2

O.O Interesting debates.

In term of level grinding, gw2 is the least among all the games I played. There are games where you can spend entire day grinding the mobs and barely level up, some called these hardcore games.

In term of item grinding, mixed opinions for gw2. Exotic is relatively easy to get but the time taken to obtain ascended and considering the amount of stat increased, obtaining higher gear is more grindy than other MMOs which involve grind to level up.

In term of world boss event such as karka, sunless and triple trouble. The rewards from these bosses and the number of people required to defeat these bosses, in comparison to those grindy MMOs, the rewards is totally unjustifiable.

Then again, this game does not have gears upgrades (in stat), so making ascended difficult to get is somewhat reasonable because after obtaining ascended, you already reach the end of line.

I don’t think GW2 China will go well. GW2 may be more grindy but the point is that eastern MMOs focus on guild pvping, equipments upgrading and social things.

GW2 has poor focus on guild, it also does not have uber equipments. So, when the people finally “grind” their way up, they realise GW2 china has nothing much worth grinding for. =(

So, basically, your ego is screaming “I want to be well known” to the world. I see. Good luck.

How does this thing work?

Let say you use a AOE skills, does the sigil of air porc? If it porc, does it select a target randomly?

yea….

i agree about the part about BEASTgate, LOL, that’s really something egoistic

to be at the top, one gotta be dirty to be at the top, that’s how things are.
do people really think that top servers are top servers because they train hard to become skilled? top servers are top servers because they work hard to absorb players from other servers, put down others so they looks better

if the server die, people will just gonna say “aw, what a shame” but the truth is no one cares, everyone prefer to eat their popcorn and watch the show

So, before you think I’m crazy or think it’s against the TOS – It is not.

I am looking to figure out how to run two instances of GW2 to use both of my accounts since I only have one computer; is there a way I can do this without breaking the TOS (aka using a third party program to launch another instance of GW2 , aka Multi-Wars2 etc)

I’ve done my fair share of searching and can’t seem to find anything

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I will not be botting; I will be alt-tabbing playing with two characters on TWO different accounts. When I press one key- it will only happen on One character; the GW2 Rules!

Read this post before you start assuming that I will be botting or cheating in anyway.

Since you mentioned MultiWars2, the author already answered your question in his Q&A.

This is also a well known bug, it has been there like forever.

If you stand on the burrow, near the door and when the burrow is destroyed, you will simply be throw to the other side of the door. You can also be throw into pillar and get stuck there.

If you do it on the last burrow, there are chance you get stuck in the book shelve.

When will this be fixed?

It has become common knowledge that the so-called guild mission activation rights is not exclusive to selected people.

This bug has been there for a year, when will it get fixed?

erm…….i not sure i understand your question

Do TS has any evidence that the any matchup in question are “fixed”? Else, it is just your personal opinions.

They meant the nerf will reduce the overall average damage (when crit) by 10%.
Of course, for pure crit build, it will be actually around 15% and up to 20%.

Was searching for old threads about “Gift of Heroes”.

I wonder if it is 200 tickets AND 250 badges or 200 tickets OR 250 badges.
Looking at the WvW tourny reward, the lowest ranked server will receive 200 tickets, in that case, if is AND then any server below 5th rank will not be able to craft the exotic hero weapons.

The focus skin looks really nice.

PvP don’t have parties unless you mean team UI which is completely different. The squad system suppose to be revamped but it looks like not included in this feature patch, pretty disappointed. I still remember the tons of complain during the launch about how useless the squad system is, one of the things that least expected to fail in expectations.

Likely p4 but follow Solo’s advise.

Solution
1. Run with your guild mates.

Sometimes it get bugged out when some event is done before the scene.

According to /age, I have played 6.9k hours since 3 days pre-launch. I have done pretty much everything except the ridiculous achievements like killing xxxxx of dolyaks or killing xxxx monsters. I don’t have legendaries, I don’t see the meaning of having one.

I pretty much chit-chat in the guild, rot in the cities, play the PvP, play the WvW, play the EoTm, pretty much just wasting time, alt tab to look at world news, troll on the local forums, browse the yotube, watch anime, ok, im side tracking here.

Basically, if you are transmuting from the wardrobe, you gotta pay for the charge.
If you are transmuting from a item, there is no charge, it simply consume the item.

I agree, I have this foreign feelings of wanting to collect more skins just to fill up the wardrobe.

I didn’t play spvp much and I did my dailies diligently. After all the convention and free transmutation charges I received (from PvP ranks I believe), I have more than a hundred of charges. Just saying.

I hate the fact that my PvP crafting items are gone, I didn’t use them before the patch, feeling sad about it.

Oh, and lastly, you shouldn’t be playing games if you didn’t bothered to explore the map, I mean, PvP map isn’t big, you couldn’t even bother to talk to the new NPCs, seriously?

Edit: Almost forgot, why is everyone talking about ESO? I mean, there are other new games like PSO2, Archeage, Black Desert, Star Citizen and etc etc.

By partying with someone, there is a possibility that you will be directed to the same map instance that your party member(s) is/are in.

I support the “more cleavage”. Everything else simply means more changes to the game, more balancing issues, more complains, more confusions, more rage quitters.

Also, do try to note that guild wars 2 WAS designed to be casual-friendly and not targetting to waste players’ time too much to the point that casual players (people who play limited hours) have difficulties accessing all other contents due to restrictions on skills and traits.

Zoid.2568:

Let us play any class in any team.

No one say you can’t play any class in any team. Period.

Don’t be confused with gears-oriented games and non-gears-oriented games. Guild wars 2 does not prioritise in gears thus there is no such thing as almighty powerful gears. Also, guild wars 2 is also not the type of grindy game where there is only a small group of high level players. So, the idea of heroism doesn’t really work here. There is also no competitions within guild wars 2. In fact, guild wars 2 promote group play.

Since there is nothing to discourage zerging and guild wars 2 has such massive number of players, it become a norm.

Hi TS,

It is tested that the game depend on processor power more than graphic power. Thus, it is advised that if you want to maintain as much FPS as possible, you will require a high-end processor. Intel is more efficient than AMD in term of this aspect since the game is not optimized for AMD. i7 will be your best choice.

View the test result from here

Any high-end graphic card should able to sustain your graphical needs.

16gb ram is recommended if you disabled your paging, the game eats quite a lot of memory, especially in WvW.

Merging will occur eventually, this stage is inevitable, it is just a matter of time. They won’t push megaserver for WvW, they will more likely to give players the freedom of choice. Either they merge servers together or they come out with some new forms of WvW.

The game has become slightly more confusing but people will get used to it eventually.

It wasn’t that. I was pretty certain it wasn’t. No settings had been changed and I just started having this issue today.

No settings changed doesn’t means the patch didn’t break anything.

I see, I saw one of my members not getting, was wondering why. So, this is the reason.

Try reduce your graphic to lowest aka Best performance.

Yep, the API that was once designed to retrieve such information gone useless. Anet just slapped themselves in the face.

That’s sound like making besieging harder and WvW becoming siege war.

Like others said, anet want everyone to be on the same side and not participate in drama.

I mean, they even close the WvW matchup section.

Anet want to hide ugliness and portrait gw2 community as friendly.

Nerfing zerk means dps little lesser, you kill little longer, you dodge a little more. Nothing much.

Nerfing zerk is never a solution, the real problem is the game design. Do you need crowd control in dungeon? Nope, you don’t. Many of the skills are designed for pvp in mind. The entire game in fact, is designed to be a one-hit thing, a single player game that is given a multiple player mode.

I pity the new players.

Well FE is in a level 1 – 15 zone so it should not be as hard as the level 80 zones events. Now most of the level 80 zone events scale up hard to the point of not being able to complete them due to have too many ppl there.

i remember lyssa spawn imbal champ gorilla that can wipe a group of people
and the ppl involved were like….wow, gorilla more imbal than boss.
i think they nerfed the champ spawn to some degree

im puzzled about why always complain at how easy it was and then complain how hard it is when buffed. impossible to please everyone, people need to learn how to live and let live.

Issue with megaserver

I was doing guild bounty with my guild and we only kill one bounty target for commendation. One one occasion, the megaserver system fail to put my entire guild on the same map instance.

Also, the megaserver seems to overlap our missions with other guilds’. We are not a small guild, we are capable of completing our mission by ourselves and these overlapping is causing delay in the missions, causing some degree of inconvenience for us as it is already sleeping time for some members.

I am doing guild rush now too, my entire guild is experiencing this crash.

Edit: Workaround, set your graphic to lowest aka “Best performance”. Maybe some graphical bug related to water effects.

If spending time killing a weak boss is considered fun. Now, that same weak boss is considered too weak to you because of the megaserver, because of the zerg. Then, why not hop into arah and solo Lupi, it is soloable, it is “fun”.

One more thing, the server is even more zergy during the launch.

Zerg nerf = single player

lololol…

reminds me of the early pvp games…
death = $$, items, exp gone

Before we start for on the game’s targets. I would like to ask for the definition of casual and hardcore.

To me, hardcore players are individuals who takes gaming as a part of their life and will attempt to master the game in every ways. That’s right, WvW-only players are not hardcore, they might be hardcore in the way they try to master WvW but they are not mastering the game if they only focusing in WvW.

Casual is people who have limited gaming time and also limited interest in gaming. Casual players often chose linear gameplay as they do not have the commitment for non-linear gameplay.

As for what is linear and non-linear, I will leave it to you to google.

Thus, gw2 is casual. Anet might be lost some way when they tried to push out the contents, it isn’t easy to change and maintain certain things. Anet seems to lack experience in mmorpg when comes putting on new contents while ensuring the integrity of the game.

Same. I was told that you can wear outfit now, so I decided to look for ways to use individual town cloths but there is no option. In other words, there is no way for people to customize their town cloths with different parts.

Though I am not a cosmetic person, but I believe that people who enjoy those cosmetic products love the freedom to customize it.

I was pretty surprise at this change as well. TBH, I like receiving 2 times the daily rewards (minus the laurel). Now, the reward is lessen, the choices also lessen.

Just curious, is this a blog post?

I am waiting for the gw2 build calculator to be updated, should be able to see how much changes the patch has bought.

My guild has huge number of people coming online just to check out the new patch.

Though, realistically speaking, the patch isn’t crazily impressive but is a start. At least, we know that Anet has taken the suggestions seriously and is putting them into work.

Let us hope that the next feature releases will have more goodies.

Edit: When I said huge numbers coming online, my guild had 80 people online at some point, checking out the patch.

EOTM is interestingly designed, different from the boringness of WvW. The castle in EOTM is truly a castle with layer of walls, gates and objectives. EOTM still has potential to be improved.

i also used the word “character”, i only come across “toon” mainly from WoW players.

It wasn’t just WoW, because the first time I heard someone use it was playing something called “The Realm Online”. Their website still advertises that they’re “dial-up friendly” so you can imagine how old that game is.

when i played MUDs, ppl called them char
I still find “toon” hard to relate to, logically…
