Guild Wars 2

I play the game at least 4 hours a day.

As someone who plays a class that has next to no aoe abilities, and is always struggling for loot because of it, I’m very excited about this change.

Nice job ANet Thanks for listening!

1. Lack of rewards.
2. Having no waypoints ever.
3. It’s not fun.
4. I dislike having people who bought gold try to boss me around.

We just completed AC path 1 and did not get credit for it. We never got the reward that comes at the end of every dungeon.

It’s acting like we didn’t finish it.

Warrior is the most fun for me.

Centaur.

I have wanted to be a 4 legged race for years but because of mounts people didn’t think it was possible. This game has no mounts. I WANT 4 LEGS NOA.

If someone just swears, fine, whatever.

If someone swears at me or someone else, then it’s getting reported.

Arena net isn’t going to ban people for occasionally saying the f word, but they will ban you for verbally abusing someone. That’s the difference.

You don’t need a lot of gold in this game. If you had 50 silver on you at all times you’d be just fine.

Wow that’s wonderful! I’m sure your friend will be thrilled!

Why are people complaining about this change? People will always chose the path of least resistance, so yeah if someone doesn’t know you and your ability he’s going to assume you’re not qualified to run level 30 when you’re level 2. The work around for this is you join a guild.

This change is wonderful. The current system requires me to level up my guildies over and over and 9 times out of 10 our work is undone because of a disconnect. A system that allows more freedom with grouping is a great thing. If the community is going to be elitist and shut lowbies out, well that’s on the community, not arena net.

I think precursors should be soulbound on acquire. But I also think they should be acquired differently then right now.

I think it’s unfair that someone can trip over 300+ gold.

Is this fixed yet?

I also opened it on an alt like a dummy.

Oh well….

..on my lowbie alt like an idiot.

everyone make fun of me and my scaled down rewards.

Dear Toymaker,

I would like a holiday where people are actually excited about giving to others, instead of checking off their own lists. One that really captures the spirit of giving.

I’d like a holiday free of one-time events that punish people for living in wacky timezones or who work weird hours. One that never leaves anyone out.

But most of all, I would like a holiday event that is fun and equally rewarding for everyone who participates.

I’d really like to see some fun costumes in the shop. When I was swimming around by the rocks in LA I thought ’"How could would it be to have a mermaid tail and just hang out in the waters surprising divers?"

I’d really love to see a mermaid costume added to the store for underwater fun. It should include a nice seashell bra of course!

Yes PLEASE.

It seems I can never do this dungeon. I would lvoe a daily reset of the gates also. +1

There is an event chain that needs to be completed in order to open the gates allowing access to the dungeon. You must also have your personal story completed in full to be eligible.

Unfortunately the event chain likes to bug out making this next to impossible to complete.

It’s really too bad guesting isn’t working or I’d hop over to your server and make a group.

Do I really want to be stuck there for 7 days for 1 dungeon run? And even if I did that, there’s no guarantee it won’t bug out as soon as I got there.

I’ve noticed this as well.

Fractals is taking up alot of peoples time lately. There just isn’t enough incentive for players to go back to Orr. It also doesn’t help that there have been countless reports of bugged paths and the event chain seems to always be bugged. It’s extremely frustrating. I wish ANet wold just remove the lock and let people do Arah whenever they felt like it.

Just tried to create a group with the OP and 3 others. All of our servers had bugged events.

This really sucks.

So i used the lfg website and found 4 other people that wanted to do arah. ALL of our servers had bugged events and therefore we could not even open the gates to enter the dungeon.

Lovely.

Gift of Zhaitan can be bought with 500 Shards of Zhaitan.

You get 60 shards per path completion.

I need arah and no one will run it because the paths are always bugged.

alot of times the event chains to open the gate is bugged too.

Arah event chain is bugged on Nothernshiverpeak server again.

Why is it so incredibly hard to get a group for this dungeon?

1. You need to have completed your personal story. This is not a priority for most people, making fewer people to group with.

2. The gates need to be open. Half the time the event chain is bugged and you can’t even open the gates, the other half of the time the group refuses to help you clear the chain and leaves group because it’s taking too long.

3. It happens to have arguably the hardest boss in the game. Lupi likes to break spirits.

4. The rewards just suck. When compared to fractals, which are easier, more fun and faster.. no one wants to run this thing.

What am I suggesting?
Arah needs some love. Either overhaul the dungeon rewards, keep the chains and paths bug free, or tone done the prerequisites to get in.
Preferably all of the above.

Either that, or allow us to substitute the Gift of Zhaitan needed for bifrost with a different gift.

Currently I cannot complete my legendary because everyone refuses to run this dungeon. And when I do happen to get a group, it’s bugged. This is extremely frustrating.

I agree that there should be 2 legendary pistols to chose from, however I disagree that they should be paired as 1 item, or given as a buy one get one half price deal.

It wouldn’t be fair to all the other 1handed legendaries.

Had you started exploring when you made this thread instead of complaining you’d be done by now.

Map exploration included wvw as a way to engage players in thing they might not normally try out.

I thought I’d hate wvw as well but I actually really enjoy it. I’m glad I got pushed to go there.

We shouldn’t have to ‘reroll’. Mesmers should work properly.

I was there, and I definitely didn’t get a precursor. I’ve been working my butt of making the gifts for Bifrost and I still have yet to see The Legend.

So, no, not ‘everyone’ is getting free precusors.

Tell your friend that he should give me the staff cause I really need it :P

You don’t pay a subscription. I just want you to sit and think about that for a minute.

I got all blue rewards in SE exp this morning.

Wasn’t cool man.

Because different events are triggered depending on whether it’s day or night, and ANet didn’t want people to miss out on anything while they were sleeping.

Yes, yes, yes!

I really love this idea.

Mesmers need better aoe!

I crafted mine.

I farmed the cloth, fine materials and salvaged rares for the ectos.

Took longer than ‘a few hours’ tho. About a week casually.

Pretty sure you can get all 3 of those in WvW

I always go straight to the jumping puzzles. There are ALWAYS players trying to pick fights.

Guess it doesn’t really surprise me that no one has any advice.

yeah this is a great way to make money, unless you’re a mesmer.

How do you efficiently farm DEs in Orr? (Plinx chain)

I find I can’t ever loot anything and sometimes I don’t even get gold on the events even though I’ve been participating (or trying to) the entire time.

Every mesmer I’ve spoken with tells me the same thing and I think this is a huge problem. I really don’t wan to have to level another profession just to farm karma. And I feel I shouldn’t have to.

Yes mesmers CAN have nice aoe. Too bad we need a target to do it. And in DE zergs things just die too quickly because every other class has direct dmg aoe and they just spam it on mob spawn points.

Cannot effectively farm Orr events with a mesmers. Anyone who says they can is lying.

I think the mesmer class is great, but the way DEs scale or something needs to be looked at. Mobs simply die too quickly.

This is why you should carry a ranged weapon if you don’t have AoE. As a Thief I use a SB for my AoE/Tagging, I pay attention to where enemies spawn and I hover there and insta-explode my cluster bomb to tag everything.

If you refuse to use weapons and/or skills that have AoE that’s a personal problem.

The Thief’s SB is not only ranged, it’s also some great AoE, and not every class has access to that. Mesmer AoE, for instance, takes a second to set-up (spawning clones for shatter, etc). The problem is that most mobs are dead before the shatter even reaches the mobs. That’s not a personal problem, it’s a problem with DE mechanics, which are putting some classes at an innate disadvantage.

Do mesmers have access to the sword? If so the auto attack has AoE, do runby attacks, hit mobs 1-2 times and move on to the next one(s). This is another thing I do to tag mobs when I can’t swap weapons (cooldown).

Unless a class has no reliable source of AoE then they can tag, if they know where mobs spawn and use their brain. If a class has no viable AoE that’s a design flaw as Anet disowned the holy trinity of MMORPG roles.

Ask any mesmer about their farming experience in Orr with DEs and every single one of them will tell you there is a serious design flaw with mesmers, and DEs.

It’s not people being stubborn and not weapons swapping, there is just simply no fast enough way to do AOE dmg as a mesmer. We cannot compete at all.

As if no loot is bad enough, sometimes us mesmers don’t even get gold on these events because we cant hit anything fast enough.

Right now i’m using carrion crafted exotics with superior rune of undead.

I find the cries of the dying whales on the beaches very disturbing.

All I’m asking for is a fighting change.

I fully understand it’s a pvp zone.

I want to know how I can counter a bunch of players raining arrows down onto me when the only way to get up to them is doing the jumping puzzle, which I cannot complete because they’re keeping me in combat. It just seems like griefing to me.

I’m sorry to hear that Vahn.

ANet needs to rethink this kind of thing.

Cool, i went and watched a 2hr movie. Come back to try again and find even more people camping.

sounds like you need to practice jumping without stopping, to me. If I learned anything from the “Clock Tower”, it’s that not stopping is the only way to win!

When you’re put into combat you can’t jump as far. You get slowed down. How can I jump up there and fight them if I can’t make the jumps?

I could bring 30 friends with me to fight these guys off and it wouldn’t matter because they are at the top of that grassy dome thing raining arrows down so we can’t make the jumps. We are being kept in combat. I like pvp, I do. But I think this part of the puzzle is flawed.
