Guild Wars 2

NOOOOOOO!!!!

12:01am pacific is 3:01am est!!!! I never pay attention to these things lol

How about 9pm (6pm better) pacific instead Colin?!?!?!? Or just flip the kitten switch already!!!!

Australian time works out better… Play at 6pm to midnight then get some sleep…

US time 12am tonight sucks because a lot of people work Friday morning.

Even more reason to move to Australia:)

Yeah, sleep, sure. That’s a good plan too.

I think somebody is calling in sick tomorrow

SM Castle + 400 Hero Point shrine = Amazing idea!!!

Haha I guarantee you all are going to load up and check anyway

Yeah thanks Obama

We will definitely keep things civil and be sure not to tell anyone to grow up and get over things

So maybe we will have all the hero point challenges lined up at the zone entrance for us?

That would be a great compromise I think

OGDeadHead.8326:

Everyone keeps talking about meta. Have you personally experienced that you aren’t allowed to play your ranger due to the so called “meta” in whatever game format that may be? If that’s the case, you play with the wrong people. Simple as that.

Having issues with pugs? Then don’t do pugs. Find a kitten guild and play with friends. Really, this whole “meta” discussion is a joke.

A flock of points flew over your head

I think I may need to make that spotter build to help you guys and gals after all…

Delius.1968:

Remember, remember:

It doesn’t suck your life away and force you onto a grinding treadmill; it doesn’t make you spend hours preparing to have fun rather than just having fun; and of course, it doesn’t have a monthly fee.

“it doesn’t make you spend hours preparing to have fun rather than just having fun”

Or so they said: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/guild-wars-2-design-manifesto/

That’s exactly what’s wrong with gated class mechanics.

Yeah this…

I always ask myself “is it fun?” while doing stuff like using free time to play video games. There is enough stress in real life and people don’t need to be given more work and chores to do while they are trying to unwind. Of course I understand the nature of mmos sometimes, but the way this particular topic is being handled is very anti-fun.

sharkswithlazers.7632:

I have completed map completion. I’ll tell you, I wish I hadn’t. Each challenge is worth ten times the amount of hero points in maguuma. So my 200 hero points were grinded up the most inefficient way possible.

Sorry, how long did it take you?

And this reminds me why I did not preorder the game. I think I’ll wait a while and see how this gets resolved.

As a casual player, this pretty much kills the game for me.

What really concerns me though with HoT is there is now, ANOTHER controversy about the xPack. Why did they just not release all this information long time ago and not within 72hrs of launch?

Because they knew players would be kittened off and they didn’t want to take away from the hype

That’s the thing, if they had stated this info much earlier, there wouldn’t be as much issue with the amount needed. Players would have time to adjust expectations and have a reasonable amount of time to get max hero points on all characters they planned to get the elite on except revenant.

Eh I don’t think so for many players, because that still means slogging through maps over and over and over and over and over…

Maybe slightly less stress for wvwers if they were allowed to start buying these notarized scrolls 6 months ago.

Overall, I call foul and this hype train jumped on the dhuum tracks with this one. Just wait until the players who don’t visit the forums open up their character panel on launch day lol

I didn’t say it would go away. Just that it wouldn’t be as huge.

1. There would have been time for ANet to work out a compromise if they wanted to.

2. Players would have had a decent amount of time to get more core Tyria hero points to reduce the number needed when HoT launches.

3. Players wouldn’t have had the feeling that ANet might have kept quiet about it because they knew it would be an unpopular decision.

Post 1 implies that the players would be more accepting of the amount needed because they adjusted their own expectations. You made no mention of developer possible changes in the first post like you did in the second post.

In post 1 I argued they would still have an issue because the system would be the same regardless of announcement timing.

Post 2 states the devs could possibly make changes and players would be less stress given more time. You made no mention of anything related to number 3 in your first post.

Those two posts expressed two very different messages… Sorry

I’ve posted more than twice in this thread. Please quote the message. Thank you.

Edit: I’m beginning to think you’re the one with the reading comprehension problem and it’s not a case of a misunderstanding. This is the third time I’ve asked you to quote the message.

I edited the original so go back and look at it. We could have others analyze it and they would tell you your messages were different. Go look at it

Yea, it says the same thing in different words. And expanded out. I’m supposed to just copy and paste my responses because heaven forbid I say more in a later post. Or just paraphrase and never add anything else to my posts? Really?

“As much of an issue” does not mean that people who have an issue suddenly don’t have an issue.

If on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being no issue and 10 huge issue, “as much of an issue” could mean going from 10 on the scale down to 8. Where it’s still an important issue to you, just not as much of an issue.

So not seeing how my two posts say differing things. The second says the same as the first and goes into more details.

Lol

Guess you’re ceding this argument to me, if you can’t come up with anything more than a lol.

And unless you’re next response is a serious response, I’m done with you as you apparently don’t have anything more to say.

Lol was because you don’t pay attention to what you write and would rather blame me for your lack of comprehension. Perhaps you should go back and reread things, then reflect on the way you communicate so you can learn to be clear the first time with your “intended messages”.

I pay attention to what I write, thank you very much. I’m not seeing where my messages are different. I’m really not. So maybe you can enlighten me. Instead of just saying they are different. Because that’s how good communication goes. When one person gets a different interpretation each should say how they view it so that both can see where the wires got crossed. You just saying you’re reading it differently makes me think you’ve since changed your mind but are too proud to say otherwise. While that may not be true, it is one interpretation. And the one I shall take until such time as you explain to me in detail (and not just quoting my messages and/or saying they are different) how they are different.

I already explained the differences in your two posts.

I’m not going to drag on this off topic stuff because I’d rather devote my words to the hero point rebellion.

Good luck with your future posts!

Seriously the lack of red post, not that I should be surprised, it’s like that child that was caught doing something they shouldn’t so they just hide because that makes everything better. I guess they really didn’t learn from their FAQ scandal.

Given that the vast majority of the complaints in this thread are by a small handful of people and that most of it was posted during Anet’s downtime, this really shouldn’t be a surprise.
People are trying to be very loud about their complaints, but so far the actual number of people complaining really isn’t that high.

Yet it’s a sample of the anger still to come. This is the calm before the storm…

Developers make big mistakes sometimes and this is a big mistake.

A Portrait of the Player as a WvW Regular

- Two accounts (actually I have three but only purchased HoT for these two).
- Twelve level 80s
- Two above 60 hero points
- Only one with 100% map completion
- 75% of toons under 20% map completion
- 5904 combined total gaming hours
- No Legendary
- No full sets of ascended gear
- Purchaser of gems with real cash
- 1892 combined WXP rank (677 and 1215 respectively)

How can you help me? Can I hire you to get the hero points for my toons?

not including my alt account because i didn’t purchase HoT for it:
-10 characters, all of them level 80.
-2770 hours played across all characters, most of that time spent in WvW
-my “main” character has 100% map, 1 legendary, and 4 pieces of ascended armor, all 4 of which came as loot, 3 of which came from level up chests in WvW. she has 207 Hero points.
-my secondary character has 48 Hero points and 19% map.
-the rest of my characters range from 15 completion all the way down to 1.
-ALL of my characters with the exception of my main were leveled with a combination of WvW, crafting, and later on tomes and +20 level scrolls.
-WvW rank 665 (i took almost a year break, so my rank is way lower than it would be if i had played straight through)
-i have bought hundreds of dollars worth of gems over the last 3 years, and bought the $100 xpack flavor.

hmmmm :-/

The worst thing about all this is that anet has all the data… They know how many millions of characters there are, the average characters per account, how many characters have map completion vs those that don’t… Yet still made this decision. Pretty crappy if you ask me.

blaming that " healer" induces hatred against Rangers or easier to point fingers rather than deal with the issue at hand and that is They Failed to survive.

Ya im sure we Very Experienced mmo players get the hint.

and again to avoid all that Pointless Lame finger pointing , i’ll be doing raids with the guild.

I said while ca is on cool down… Not all the other yada stuff you are talking about.

There it flies again!

Well if we could perma stow our pets then it wouldn’t be an issue. Until then, we will all have to deal with pets…

And this reminds me why I did not preorder the game. I think I’ll wait a while and see how this gets resolved.

As a casual player, this pretty much kills the game for me.

What really concerns me though with HoT is there is now, ANOTHER controversy about the xPack. Why did they just not release all this information long time ago and not within 72hrs of launch?

Because they knew players would be kittened off and they didn’t want to take away from the hype

This thread is also about raids and “recommended” gear so it’s all intertwined…

Just wait until ascended runes and sigils come out and you’ll only be able to slot them in ascended gear

This is really the best option to add in among the other options

I’m sorry ayrilana, you’ll just have to get all your ascended gear for raids. No matter how much you use wishful thinking you’ll just have to give in to the dark side

Let me ask… What is 10% of 10 minutes?

Or not answer questions

Whether something is balanced towards a tier of gear doesn’t mean that you cannot complete it in lower tiered armor. Also be aware the the thing that most people complain about in regards to ascended is the cost of the armor despite it only contributing around 2% of damage over exotic.

2%? Might want to recheck that math.

Your turn

A full ascended berserker set vs a full exotic berserker set is a 12.5% difference. If you want to niggle over armor alone then ok, we are talking about full ascended vs exotic silly…

I would recommend you craft ascended armor, weapons and get your trinkets

I would recommend you all get crafting

Or not answer questions

I heard they are nerfing greatsword and chill, better get back over to the necro forums and stay there to keep an eye on things

Before you reply I want to ask this…

Are raids being designed around 10 players in exotic gear or 10 players in ascended gear?

Recommended = You’ll find out that you need it after you keep wiping out.

Think of Isaiah as a tire sales person telling you he recommends snow tires on your car for the winter. Obviously he can’t tell you that you have to, but when you get stuck or crash then you’ll be right back there getting your “recommended” tires.

Recommended does not equal required.

Sure, you can enter raids with exotics, but…

Sometimes you have to read between the lines and take hints for more than hints…

I’ll just quote John Smith’s reply when asked about reducing the amount of silk required:

Howdy John! Any plans to reduce the amount of bolts of silk required for crafting spools of silk weaving thread?

Nope

I am honored.

I heard that the more hero points you have, the less you will need to download

I think each hp spot should be worth ten points

Each Hero Challenge in Heart of Thorns, and the WvW option for Heart of Thorns, is worth 10 hero points…

Ironically, it costs more hero challenges to unlock a standard elite specialization in core Tyria than it does to unlock an elite specialization in Heart of Thorns,and the elite also gives you a set of 6 utility skills and cosmetic items.

Oh I’m aware. I’m saying each one, on any map, should be worth 10!

I’m a great problem solver!

Just wonder how many “oops so sorry” moments druids will be faced with when CA form is on its 10 second cool down and staff skills just won’t be up to the task

That’s why you won’t do raids with pugs but Organized people on TS.

I just saw a point fly over your head

Hi, yet again I see traits seemingly dropped into all sorts of random places and this sincerely needs to be addressed…

Look at this for Warrior…

Warhorn trait and long bow trait in the same line… I’m not trying to be rude, but come on… How about long bow, rifle and speargun instead???

Greatsword/spear trait and axe trait in another line… How about Greatsword, Hammer and spear instead???

How about put axe, sword, mace, shield, warhorn in one line instead? Or make a main hand line and offhand line…

How about ranger… Maybe put both bows and harpoon in the same line? Greatsword and single handed sword in the same line? Main line and offhand line as above?

I could go through every profession and find poorly placed traits all around. Maybe a good rule of thumb to follow for all professions is…

Two handed weapon line with both ranged and melee
Main hand weapon line
Off hand weapon line
Defenses (protections/regens/condition defense) line
Offensive (power/condition/hybrid dam boost) line

Can you please start making more sense with traits, cut out the fat and the redundancy???
