Guild Wars 2

Yeah pretty much agree with all of that, priority for me would be the “tab” targeting, it’s terrible, mouse pointer, build saving/trait swapping, town clothes (What’s the point in them).

And many of the suggestions would just go towards making it a better game.

UnknownFreak.2805:

You can bind AoE loot button…

I tried that, it doesn’t work, or maybe I should say I notice no difference whatsoever.

“Rangers rely on a keen eye, a steady hand, and the power of nature itself. Unparalleled archers, rangers are capable of bringing down foes from a distance with their bows.”

We were seriously let down by Arenanet, this is the worst Ranger I have ever played.

GW1 Ranger was much better, the bows reacted more like real bows, gaining a height advantage gave you more damage (As it should be), I get sick of seeing “invulnerable” whenever a mob feels like it, while he beats me half to death.

GW2 Ranger is very poor in comparison, poor skills and poor weapons.

Yeah I’ll give you a plus 10 on that one.

I’m fed up with chasing crap that I don’t even need and is clogging up my bank.

How many other different things are we going to get to collect, it’s just all rubbish.

I haven’t crashed during an event YET, but I’ve crashed 3 times tonight, so there’s something going on as I never crash out.

Yeah seems strange they didn’t include this, I know we can write it down, but it’s a pain, and bits of paper go wakabout.

Jaga.2084:

Wanted to play the living story. Came into non-event overflow. Logged out and played something else.

Yeah and me, takes ages for the next event to get up and running, it’s just turned into a waiting game.

I’m collecting all this stuff, these rewards, achievement points, skill points, and all the other stuff, for what now ?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/All-PC-s-look-cloned-after-patch/first#post2669249

Yup same here !

Yeah it’s too much for a few measly achievements

Not all of us have that sort of time to spend on a game, so some of the content will be unachievable for us.

Yes the messages are confusing and contradict each other.

I’ stood there thinking, WTH.

Stuck in overflow, great fun……….not.

F2 is a pet ability ?

Really, nobody actually bothered to tell my pet because mainly it’s off with the faries somewhere !

Josh Davis.6015:

Thanks for the report!

I notice it won’t be forwarded !

Blah it’s just the Ranger…..

No please make LESS, I’m rubbish at them and I hate them.

Please, no more suffering with a game mechanic that’s broken !

Even tripping over a matchstick makes the pet pop out again, annoying in jumping puzzles.

Same with town clothes, not allowed to wear them and hold any weapon, not allowed to attack anything in town clothes, and take the smallest amount of falling damage and poof out pops the pet and away goes the town clothes.

Pretty much Anet wants to do things for us, I don’t like it.

Would be Ok, but by invitation only when both parties agree to duel, as per FFXIV

The pet is just a class mechanic that doesn’t work 90% of the time.

Anet messed up, but won’t admit it insisting we keep the broken pet thing.

It will never be fixed.

“For a frame of reference, we’ve played and got max level characters on TSW, EQ2, STO, Tera, Defiance, Rift, AO and EQ1. (Notice, never played WoW and happier for it) We’ve always played a tank/healer type combos”

You’ve maxed out characters on those game and are having problems with GW2 one of the easiest MMO’s going.

As others have said GW2 is not really a healer tank kind of game, you both need to be doing damage and looking after your own healing.

Don’t get too much into the stats, toughness, vitality stuff just yet, just buy the best stuff you can afford right now, and go with stats and traits that feel right for you.

Try to dodge and avoid attacks, if it looks like your going to die, get the hell out and recover.

Yup it’s all pretty dead now, yeah the free trial weekend will bring a few in, but they won’t get past the lower area’s.

Why not just join the zerg in the crown pavillion, there’s nobody anywhere else, gets boring after a while though.

It’s easier to do if you can get 2 pacts going at the same time.
It is possible with only one pact, but sometimes the moral just goes from hero to zero in the blink of an eye.

+1

Give us the choice.

The pet is a massive failflop in GW2, they should have let us stow it and gave us something to make up for it.

It’s bugged, mainly dead or off with the fairies, it will never be fixed.

One (1), Ranger since beta headstart, never made any others.

Female Ranger, it’s too heavy for me, I have to drag the thing along then take a mighty swipe at something.

I’m only little !

(oh dear you can’t say “b-a-s-h” or “s-l-a-s-h” so had to use “swipe” instead)

Just to add, I like the way it’s held and I like the animation, pity it’s a bit repetitive.

Done it loads of time, but at the moment with living story and the queen stuff people have better things to do I guess.

“Increase everyone’s speed by 25% and remove the signet.”

Well there’a solution, sounds good to me.

milo.6942
“the dailies and the laurels feel like work”

Yeah they do, they stop me from doing what I want to be doing because you just feel you have to do your crummy daily.

(It’s not a grind, right)

Nabrok.9023
“though you could use a total make-over kit to adjust the height slider”

Yeah that should work, that will make my character run faster !!!!

Seriously though, ignoring the “balance” rubbish, not having a speed buff, or just a permanently slow running speed is a real pain, it takes ages to actually get anywhere.

+10 to that, it’s painfully slow.

The walking ! It’s so pathetically SLOW, even slower if there’s any mobs near, it feels like I’m crawling along. (oh wait, and that’s supposed to be running).

Just takes ages to get anywhere.

“Jeez, what a bunch of pathetic whining. Here you all are, enjoying the miracle of online internet gaming in a beautiful virtual world designed with love and attention.”

Yup and it’s the little annoying niggles that will cause people to leave and move on to other games.

In fact I just left the game after 5 minutes to post this because my “Running” speed is so slow.

Rural England here, 5 miles from the nearest exchange, over (old) copper wire.
No chance of fibre optic (fttc) nearest cabinet is 4 miles away.

20Mbps wireless, so it’s worth looking at other options that might be available in your area.

You don’t need a mega fast connection for most games, but downloads and patches can take hours.

Yeah same here, thought there would be some way to tell which balloons I had visited, so didn’t bother keeping notes on bits of paper !

Now it’s just a pain in the butt.

Ah the patch, yeah a bit better, still too many loading screens………….

Just a game of loading screens, and I have an SSD, five loading screens just to get from one area to another (for free),

Astral Projections.7320:

Really need to have yellows only clickable to target. It’s bad enough in regular fights targeting some random yellow. In the Southsun instigator fights I run up then go tab, tab, tab, tab, tab, tab, tab, tab, tab, tab, tab, …….. until I FINALLY get to the red target that I want to hit, I tried clicking on the red target but there were too any other players and yellows to do so.

This ^^^^ say’s it all.

Really the targetting selects a yellow non-threatening target instead of the mob (Red target) that’s trying to rip your face off !!! Get out of here.

The targetting system is a disaster.

Yes you can tranfer for free if your account has no characters on it.

Put all your valuables in your account bank.

As you have just started chances are you won’t have any high level characters.

There are other promising games being (Been) released shortly, so many of us may already be gone by the time any paid for GW2 expansion is released.

This was once a “promising game” too. Some of us have patience, because we know MMO development takes years. Not days, not weeks, not months.

The rest of you can jump ship and jump ship and jump ship till the soles of your feet hurt, but what you’ll end up with in any new MMO today is more of what you have here, but less polished, because it’ll be new and it will take years for them to get it working.

An established MMO is going to have some advantage over a new one after the shine wears off. And if you think that other MMOs will launch with a less “greedy” cash shop, well…off you go then. Will you have the grace to return if you’re wrong?

Take a look at Neverwinter, which people seemed do enjoy. Due to a duplication exploit, they had to close the servers completely today and roll back the game 7 hours. Half the forum is ready to leave. And yes, I know the game is in “beta”. except that they aren’t supposed to be wiping accounts again and the cash shop is already open and doing business. Just like PW.

All new games will have the same problems. Every single one of them. Anyone who’d been to enough MMO launches knows that.

Just an observation.

Nobody want’s to wait YEARS just for them to fix simple bugs in the game, we waited YEARS for it to be released.

And Neverwinter seem to have got their companions right when we can even get the pet fixed after months.

When something as good or better comes along people will be off.

And yes all f2p/b2p games will steer you towards tghe cash shop, GW2 being no different than Neverever.

There are other promising games being (Been) released shortly, so many of us may already be gone by the time any paid for GW2 expansion is released.

Me Kill You.9035:

I would not trust any email from a supposed credible source that make no grammatical sense at all in the first place >_>

But thanks for the warning

Very true, but I suppose if English is not your native language people might fall for it.

They should be awarded for how well a commander does in WvW and taken away if their performance drops below a certain level.

Just buying commander status for gold is just rubbish and pointless.

Yeah +10 to this, I don’t find trawling around the maps looking for events any fun.

As he’s only 2 days into the game, his best option is to delete all charcters and jump servers for free.

He probably won’t have much stuff yet but bank it all anyway.

Well it says 100% on your character screen, but only 99% on your map screen.

Same as mine, so your not quite there yet !

Yeah thought I was going mad, kept looking for these (non-existant) bonfires.

Sometimes there’s an epic fail at the start of the hill, moral, hero to zero in 2 seconds.

Whatever you all say, there’s no logical reason for it, and I’ve never seen any good explanation for it.

Get over that part with about 20% moral and you should do it ok.

Another way is to do it with 2 pacts at the same time, that doubles your chances of doing it.

(Pretty much everybody is in Southsun Cove right now, so Balthazar may take a bit of doing).
