Guild Wars 2

There is a word for this content…. it’s like disappointed, but with less pity

This is this patch stuff.

I’m here until something better comes along… which won’t be long.

I soloed, and played it in a group

Solo = Easiest 1 on 1 with Canach battle
Group= a Golem Boss, where you trick him into mines.

Both give disappointing drops, and you can get rares more effectively on the island grind than you would in this dungeon.

RNG Boxes = Random Ponchiko Nonsense
Korean style of separating fools from their money.

In fact Dontain has something to say

White Dragon.5429:

I’ve actually found the 200% magic find buff to be amazing at gathering T6 bloods, claws, etc. One of the most common reasons people find magic find useless is because it doesn’t affect chests, but when you’re after the crafting mats it’s a completely different story.

You do know MF doesn’t go past 100%…

If you got it set at 200% you are just being even more of a burden to yourself.

They rebuild Tybalt into robo-Tybalt and he is your sworn enemy.

Not one will be a rifle or pistol…

I will place money on it.

Thanks homie, most useful

MY REVIEW OF OP’s REVIEW

Small mind, huge ego, clearly written by someone who thinks too highly of himself.
Thinks he has a point, but really doesn’t.
Grasps for straws.

Here you go OP, you earned this:
http://youtu.be/5hfYJsQAhl0

No more RNG Chests…

It’s bad enough you don’t have any decent unlockable rifles or pistols, but the half decent ones are in RNG boxes.

Is there any new pistols and rifles skins? Or did engineers get overlooked again, like they did during Super Adventure Box?

People beat it everyday.
Yesterday a lowbie team crash through it and beat it.

So what does that say about you?

The sharpest bit of contrast I noticed.

Why the hell are engineers treated like crap by ANet?

I mean we get ZERO new skins especially from the SAB, now we got this turret crap going on?

Really ANET?

You know what you got this month?
a F&F mission…

BUT

also the Super Adventure Box, three new sets of skin: Guild, Super Adventure, and fused.

I’m no white knight and there are problems in the game…

Not a one OP posts about, is relevant.

Somewhat older cynical former soldier turned explosives-engineer miner, distrusts people, and probably a communist.

“I swung a sword, I swung a sword again Hey! I swung it again, that’s great”

Do you remember the teaser for GW2 before it’s release? Where Colin Johanson said the above line?, well, isn’t that exactly what we’re doing in the current model?

With all the class imbalances going the class sections are filled with weapon/ability comparison threads which all basically say that a lot of weapons have 1 ability that deals a lot of damage, the others are utility and actually deal less damage than the auto attack. Wait what? Did I say auto attack? Yes I did, number one ability on your bar does the exact same thing as all the other MMO’s Colin Johanson was seemingly trying to ridicule with his quoted sentence. GW2 has the very same thing, I don’t get it why.

Why is there a auto attack and why does it deal more damage than most special moves you can pull off?

I’ll give you my main class as an example, Ranger.

GS: Number two is the main damage dealer, whilst it’s on CD it’s better to auto attack until it’s back off cooldown than it is to use Swoop or Hilt Bash. (Yes I know they’re utility abilities, still doesn’t get us away from Colin’s quote.)

Shortbow: Auto attacks deal more damage than any of the other four abilities, I find myself on some bosses able to go AFK while my Ranger is auto attacking the boss. Auto attack even continues if the mob runs out of range and back into range!

There’s even an option in the option menu to turn the auto attack off so instead you can feel useful slamming your face on the number one key over and over.

Bottom line is, why did one of the main Arenanet dev’s come out with such a silly statement and not actually follow up on it? Reminds me of politicians that tell us about all the wonderful things they will do for us if we vote for them, well we bought your game Colin, why aren’t you keeping your word?

Play an engineer.

Solved.

They will probably have weapons skins for the one year anniversary for everyone cept RIFLES and PISTOLS.

because Anet hates Engineers, and have to remind us of that… every single update.

RADICAL GAMAGE DUDES!

Engineer with a shield is PERFECT against karka

There is one ability to reflect cripple-shots right back at karka and cripple them, giving a taste of their own medicine.

I use shield for engineer under 2 conditions:
-Karka defense in Lost Shores
-Added defense when I need to focus on healing/defense/survivability

Relic.7148:

I think you’re trying way too hard Soulstar

I hope so.

Being subtle gets you kitten from these anet devs.

Legendary kits… maybe bombs that laugh and explode in special effects?

Funny, why do I feel this will never be resolved?

Yeah some of the ANet devs finally responded to the backlash for the lack of engineer weapon skins, mostly saying “Sorry we had to make choices and little time”, yet they chose to create another Greatsword skin using that time.

Engineers never see the weapons or backitems
and giving even less respect with the weapon skins.

it’s disgusting to see them churn out swords and greatswords, and they don’t have the nerve to address the lack of content for engineers. If they are inclined they usually tell us “tough luck” like they did on SAB.

VitalSuit.1980:

So you guys are adding more weapons along with the new worlds? Am I reading that right? I want to know cause I don’t want to spend my bauble bubbles on other weapons if I can get one of the ones that I would prioritize.

I’m not going to make ANY promises. Developing a AAA MMO with a constant stream of free content is new territory. There are no guarantees. But I can say that it is fully my INTENTION to release new worlds and weapon skins. Our team is part of Living World now, so we will be developing more content. I simply can’t make any promises about what it will be because we have to make decisions that are best for GW2 as a whole.

Personally, Engineer is my favorite class, both in looks and to play. Believe me, I wasn’t happy that I can’t deck out my Engie with SAB gear. And I fully intend to rectify that with the next SAB release. As for WHEN that release will be… see the above paragraph.

You know Mr. Foreman, if you were really sorry about not having anything for engineers, and you are sure that there will be no added rifles or pistols in the immediate future….

You give engineers a chance to unlock the Fused rifle and pistol with bubles..

I mean that could be a start.

or give us an entire update dedicated to engineers, rifles and pistols. I am very sure players can live without one new great-sword skin.

Snow White.9680:

While I appreciate the cutesy clouds and terrible graphics are supposed to trigger a nostalgic response from me and make this new content fun, I can really only say 1 thing..

If I wanted to play a mario, I’d be playing mario.

I want to play Guild wars 2. Please spend your resources on content for that game.

Lemme guess, you were born in the 90s

OP: “I hate whiners.”

Proceeds to whine about mounts.

Josh Foreman.8250:

We are a very small team. The more skins we made, the less stuff we could make in the Box. So we settled for a minimal set, with plans to add to it with each new World we release. I love Engies and I wish we could have served them and Thieves better this time around, but had to make some tough choices.

This.

This is what I wanted: acknowledgement

Now they know there is a problem with the lack of Engineer Weapon Skins, they can now fix it.

If they plan to add more stuff in the future it would be awesome to see NES-zappers or NES-themed rifles…

Anyone remember Captain N the Game Master?

Why is this event only temporary?

Heh

WHY DIDN’T THEY MAKE ANY SKINS FOR ENGINEERS?

AGAIN

April Fools Engineers

No skins for you

again.

quiet.

at least you have skins.

Engineers got screwed on the skins…. again

APRIL FOOLS ENGINEERS!

NOT A FTARDING THING FOR YOU
HAHAHAHAHAHA

-Love ANet

Seriously why in the kitten are we having this discussion, we know they just bypass engineers in every single thing.

Congrats on the 500th ftarding Greatsword skin tho, ANet…

No. YOU consolidate with my thread.

Once again no love for pistols or rifles…

We got 500 skins for great swords, but @#$% engineers let’s nerf those guys and give them no skins for their weapons.

The last skins were a pop gun that doesn’t pop, and a brown (wood/gingerbread/fruitcake?) holiday skin…

How about a gamer blaster, or a Nintendo-looking zapper? Nope engineers have to hate playing this game.

Well, here’s to another greatsword and sword skins…

slow clap

yes I am kitten . APRIL FOOLS on me, ANet trolled me.

You can’t remake Eir or Tybalt…

both their faces are unique… challenge me and post photo if you think you can.

It not a Pay to win model…

It’s a gamble to look different model…

I quit.

I’m done.

Heijincks.9267:

No, we don’t need a trinity. The last thing GW2 needs is to stray away from its niche and become more like other MMORPGs.

It’s niche was the AWESOME system of GW1….they already strayed away from that and made it MUCH worse.

Solution….

go play GW1

OMG BECKY!

Seriously, op didn’t make a point other to cry
“I hate GW2, so I’m running away”

The adults look at OP and say… “Ok bye, have fun”

A-Net surprises us by doing nothing.

It’s the best April Fool’s gift ever…. disappointment.

This is just basics ANet.

It’s been half a year.

Orion the Cursed.1206:

You guys aren’t any better. At least said person with legendaries doesn’t have to put other people down to make them selves feel better.

You missed the point if you think this post had anything to do with insulting the guy.

His methods are in question.

The cheapest legendary is 300$ via through gems. EVEN MORE through illegal means.

If he has 5 legendaries:
-He is spending 5 paychecks to buy them on TP
-He is rich and has alot of time and money.
-He bought them illegally (dumbest move)
-He got them through exploit not noticed yet.
-OP is exaggerating.

To which I ask for pics, and name for proof.

Playing the TP is really unlikely, even with high turnout it still require more time than 5 would allow.

The box to display the hats for town clothes is not there.

Who else has this problem?

I am 30 y old with work and school, and a horrible player. I am slow and clumsy with my character.

I have level 80 with exotics, and ascended gear… really what’s your problem?

The game isn’t hard… at all.

Alarox.4590:

Soulstar.7812:

Grind is there, but it’s not necessary…

You ask “why the grind?”
I ask “Why are you grinding?”

Ascended gear is over-rated, and it doesn’t make you a better player.

In all, I don’t like the laurels either. The argument you are making is seriously lacking any sense, but there is point to be made.

Problem is 90% of people complaining about laurels are attacking it as if it was the core of the game, it’s not.
The REAL problem of laurels is that it’s bland content and that was proclaimed to extend the longevity of the game. Three months of events scrapped to stabilize bugs, even out the classes, and add a over-hyped “living story”. This was enough to keep most players playing, but there is a small good sized number of disappointed players growing.

Some would disagree with me, but I feel the content is only going to continue to be watered down to small events being over hyped.
If you disagree and decide to continue to play, GOOD ON YOU.
If you want to cry about laurel grind as if it were important, great find another game and be happy.

I think ANet should be fully aware of the situation at hand, and the route it’s going isn’t good. Only time will tell, Maybe I am wrong… Who knows.

Blacklight.2871:

Why do you need to have a fully geared character? I mean, aside from making farming faster. I have 11 characters, 5 80s and not one of them is in full exotics yet. Despite this, I’m not prevented from engaging in ANY kind of content or gameplay.

The idea that you have to be fully geared is nothing but an arbitrary goal set by the players themselves. If you want to focus on that to the exclusion of all else, then don’t complain about grinding. No one is forcing you to do it except you. Play the game and everything will eventually take care of itself. If you’re unable to wait for your goodies, don’t blame the game for giving you the opportunity to speed things up by grinding.

We have two possible scenarios.

1.) Exotic gear is the best. You can get it through any style of play in a reasonable amount of time.

2.) Ascended gear is the best. You can get it only through specific content, and over a long period of time. Ascended gear is X% better than Exotic.

In scenario 1 everyone wins. In scenario 2, nobody benefits while others are frustrated.

This is one of the main reasons why people don’t want this. Does nothing good, causes only problems.

Does nothing good and causes problems, you say…

I’m fine. I don’t have problems.

/yourlogic.

Call it what it really is… Your problem…
and even you can solve it a number of ways.

Grind is there, but it’s not necessary…
