Guild Wars 2

As a loyal gamer of GW2 I’d like to say thanks for unintentionally increasing dye drop rate! Was fun while it lasted.

So oneof my goals in GW2 besides getting all the legendaries are achievements especially the weapon mastery and i just started running around with a shield and mace for about or shield and sword for a good month now trying to get the completion. Sword and mace are at 2.5k kills while shield is only at 300 kills. Any chance to make a profession or class that dual wielded shields? Or even made it a two handed weapon? I noticed there was an elemental weapon of a shield that required 2 hands which was fun and awesome to use. If not it’s all gravy and mashed potatoes with green beans on the side.

Also noticed the fiery great sword elemental weapon the animations for it remind me of a whip. How many MMORPG’s have dual or 2 handed shields and/or whips? wink wink

Yea just fought the boss again after their update. It’s still weak as hell, how come Lt. Kholer 1 shots you but Zhaitan who’s an elder dragon doesn’t even put a dent on your health bar WITH ads and acid he spits out. Doesn’t make any sense at all. The claw of Jormag puts up a better fight than Zhaitan.

Oh yea I know double team is supposed to occur…but even though SBI is strong we weren’t dominating the whole map. JQ was too weak to do much of anything so they made some deal with HoD for second place.

So I’m on Storm Bluff Isle right…and we got HoD and JQ doing some pretty decent double teaming tactics cause we’re too OP (why else would they double team us?)

Well we were literally down to our keep, the fort on the left of the keep and Bravost. We came up with a plan (which i won’t say) and was able to fend off several waves of HoD and JQ hitting us back to back. JQ coming at us with catapults, and HoD following up with golems, I go take a break cause you know I gotta go eat an stuff come back an hour later an we’re still holding it. At this time though it’s a tug of war to hold Umber which we do after a couple hours then about an hour or 2 later we retake the fort to the left of Umber.

So when all seems lost an you’re being double teamed (which I hope they do something about. It’s not cool being double teamed for a whole week straight just cause your server is to OP) Never give up hope…cause 1 little fort and some time can make 1 hell of a difference.

hhmmmm…it’s all in the skills really and what your doing. earlier today I solo’ed 2 champion risen crawfish thingies in orr (L80+) and did just fine by myself. Using spear for heavy dmg then switching to trident when i go to 50% hp to regen.

They both have crowd control skills the trident locks your foe in place and the spear knocks them back several time so combo that with shelter for block+heal and “hold the line” and “save yourself” then 1 other skill of your choice and renewed focus for as your elite and you should be able to hang in the front lines in pve (don’t know about spvp since i never use it for that). this way you can stack block, and regen

yea there’ a party search option but not many people use it…the “lfg” or “glf” search they had in the first GW’s was awesome it cut down on spamming an made it easier for people to grp up for what they wanted. Cause even though it may not be an issue once they fix the DR and rewards. There are the late bloomers who may join up like a year from now or whenever Anet releases their expansion.

Also not everyone (like myself) are having problems with dungeon rewards.

Eh nah way they got the game setup heroes wouldn’t work…if anything it would be more like story mode…but a little harder. Thing is though let’s say we have a kid named Jim he been on thew game for quite a long time got lots of friends all on a server if this kid switches he’d have to wait a whole nother day just to switch back so he can explore areas an do stuff with friends on the previous server. Then he’d have to switch servers again to get the tokens for the dungeon. It’s a hassle and a bit of inconvenience. Jim doesn’t want to switch servers every so often just for a single dungeon.

And just cause your in a guild or have friends…doesn’t mean you’ll be able to get them to group with you for a dungeon. Keep in mind they got their own stuff they would like to do or they may very well hate that dungeon.

All this would be is an alternative in case said person couldn’t find a group for a dungeon. Anyways at times I enjoy playing by myself, at least that way if something goes wrong it’s all on me and not someone else who did something they know they shouldn’t of done, or someone leaves midway through dungeon and you have to take an extra 5-15 minutes to find another.

Biggest problem I’ve seen so far and I’m sure a day like this will come but what happens when people stop doing dungeons and there’s the 1 person who wants dungeon weapons/armor?

So i know some of the dungeons CAN’T be soloed due to the fact that they require teamwork and the mobs are too much. Also because of the teamwork required like in Arah having 4 people stand on a water pipe you can’t add henchmen like in the first games.

I’d hate to see such a day so would it be possible to create like 2 or 3 single player version dungeons for each dungeon. So the 1 person who wants to do the dungeon CAN do the dungeon and not hunt around for months on end looking for 4 people that may never show up. You could even make it optional and have it to where 5 people can do them too.

wow…course this game would be buggy…should wait about 6 months for any kind of MMORPG, video game console, touchpad, phone, computer, or any other electronic device before. Within those 6 months will be the first time a very large and various group of users will touch the product so it’ll be buggy, it’s like xbox 360 and the red ring of death, or ps3’s and their systems doin whatever it is they did, or nintendo…and uummm…their virtual boys causing seizures. the game is new and awesome an had a great launch.

ooohh hahaha…aight then…nvm…will have to check that out once they done fixing him…i’ll retract what i said bout Zhaitan being a weakling and anet slackin on their boss fights then…gonna suck having to go through all that again though just to fight him

First and foremost i’d like to say thanks for all the hard work an effort from prophecies to GW2, it’s been awesome and have loved every moment of it. Qith that said I must admit i was a little depresssed and I’m sure a lot of other people were about fighting Zhaitan. The minions put up a better fight than Zhaitan; even while you kill the 2 dragons on the canons they still attack, Zhaitan does nothing but sit there. Through the history of gaming the boss fight was expected to be the craziest and most epics of fight. I know ya’ll are capable of greatness and I hope in the future the other dragons put up a better fight than Zhaitan. I mean look at Mallyx, the Lich, even Shiro, Abaddon, and even Dhuum, all of them were hard hitters that players could beat on.

After fighting the boss it occured to me you go through a bunch of objectives to weaken him and then you get to the final boss fight to spam a single button. It felt rushed even though it took several years for the game to be released. But please, please, please, please for the sake of the legacy of your boss fights take the other bosses you’ve created into consideration, Zhaitan was a weakling compared to the oozes, even the champion giant dudes that toss grubs at you were a challenge.

I know this probably won’t get a response from any of the GM’s which is okay, but Anet is 1 company I feel that has taken gaming to a whole new level and I’d like to see y’all succeed and if I didn’t voice my opinion then I would be doing y’all wrong. So once again please take the previous bosses ya’ll have created into consideration, like the amount of damage, the things you’ve had to go through to kill them, so on and so forth. Thanks for everything you’ve done for us.

Sincerely,
Sunspear General
