Guild Wars 2

Garambola.2461:

How sad. Ordinary players don’t get to play?

Well sadly that’s what this game has been turning into.

Give it 2 months or so and I’m sure it will be the new SW. I’m doing map completion and taking my time to get there so the masses can progress.

I came right into the new map with a revenant and I truly hated the map with a passion. Mostly because I’m one of those people who wanted to enjoy it with my herald.

I wanted map completion but with herald currently being broken out of level 80 zones I thought I’d try VB and give it a chance with herald.

Ok the maps confusing. To many times I though I was going the right direction on my mini map to find out I am now running under a bridge a layer above me I thought I was on. Rather frustrating getting around to places.

Once I got my gliding leveled to level 2 and could start using up drafts and could use bouncing mushrooms I found the entire area to be much easier to navigate. It really helped with being able to enjoy the actual map and I was having a lot of fun.

The events, even though during the day time I found a lot of events I did enjoy very much. Between defending areas, killing those giant worms that come out, fighting with wyverns, and some of the escort missions I found a lot of the xp gains to be extremely low for some of the longer ones. Killing a wyvern for example I saw no point in it really as the reward was nothing special at all.

Night time I really enjoyed the first time I was dedicated to it running around and getting all the rally points back. Then choppers came and everyone stated going to the canopy. So I joined, I went to a spot and found 3 champions all in one spot, I jumped down and joined the fight. After we killed them all I was expecting some kind of special chest, instead an even bigger champion came out that we just barely managed to kill. All I got was an achievement? Felt kinda silly and never worth doing again.

The difficulty. I really didn’t run into many issues, the snipers could be a massive pain in events as there are so many enimies they could be hard to see and very easily down you, and the raptors are an even bigger pain as they chase you and you have no options at times to run past them you have to keep stopping to fight them which gets annoying.

I really did enjoy the map a lot overall, it truly is beautiful and becomes fun to navigate once you learn the area. However I feel the rewards are very underwhelming and really need updated. Certain areas on the map are dead, I believe giving players a reason to actually do certain things more then once would really help it a lot.

As anet ignored multiple posts in bug forum and revenant forum

Anet, when using any of the glint facets outside of a level 80 zone they keep randomly deactivating themselves. This counts for any one even if you are still at a 50% energy bar. They are not being used or going on cooldown simply just deactivating.

This issue has been going on for over 24 hours now and very frustrating as I am trying to do my map completion and personal story. Please fix. Everyone seems to be having this issue.

Every time we win a fight to the final fantasy battle won music goes! Now that’s battle music.

Gw2 soundtrack is amazing

stale.9785:

Ability to adjust particle effects. Every option from

[] Show All
[]Show Self Only
[] Show Allied Only
[]Show Enemy Only
[]Show None

Then we’d be able to see what we are doing and the enemy is doing. That’s a big no no I love surprises and guessing when to dodge

skeeman.3140:

I have to agree about the rewards. Sometimes only a handful of people head to the canopy. You end up with a long boss fight that IIRC basically pays out the same as a champ. I don’t know if people get the achievements for killing the bosses and then don’t bother any more or what.

Well I did get my achievement and I see no real reason to go back again. A unique chest should drop for sure with at least a rare drop

I don’t fully understand the process.

At day time I run around just doing every event I see.

Night comes and I run around to rally points that have been lost. Typically no one joins me at all in getting the rally points through the whole map so not sure if I’ve been doing something wrong?

Then the choppers came, I went up to the canopy defeated 3 champions with a group of people, then one big one came out that we killed. Didn’t get any special chests or rewards for completing that? Was there more that was supposed to be done? The reward was just a normal reward from anything else there and felt extremely unrewarding

This is a pretty large issue and it hasn’t even been acknowledged. Just 2 posts in the bug forum just moved to a merged topic with other bugs

I’m only having a severe issue with the snipers in zergs. They leave a very clear animation on the ground however with a lot of chaos going around with 10 enimies around they are crushing me right away.

Those charging mushrooms, and rocket dinosaurs are easy, but extremely annoying as they sometimes really chase

Other then that I haven’t ran into any real issues with my herald.

Yea I was not a fan myself.

I wish incomplete ones were simply just red, completed are green. I’m having to mouse over each one to see if I completed it or not

Kurp.3207:

I’m doing 100% map completion in central Tyria and I have to reactivate my Facets ALL THE TIME. Keeps happening when you switch areas (not actual maps, but just locations).

It’s happened to me while in the middle of fights and not even moving to be areas =/

Naevius.3185:

Roy Cronacher.1576:

That happens if somehow the legend stance buff is removed(it shouldn’t be) as it’s used to help control the upkeep skills. Is this any adventure or just specific ones? More information would be useful.

Happening all the time now in Tyrian areas, apparently if you are down-leveled and your effective level changes.

I had hoped for a fix by this morning

I personally bought it for herald. I’m enjoying it. The new maps are a bonus even though I do not enjoy the first new map.

To each complaint on here I see the exact same kind of response on here every single time. Let me ask you, all you people against nerfing the Champions to elites to make them soloable let me ask you this.

How do you resolve this?

I was at a HP with my commander tag on, every 5 minutes in map chat typing in come to blue tag for this HP.

I had a party search going for that HP.

After a half hour of just standing there, not a single person came, nor joined my party. I was unable to play the game while trying to do a HP I couldn’t solo. This was in VB to.

Now just because YOU completed it, and your leet and a better player and your much more prestige then I’ll ever be in this game how do you expect me to do a HP I can’t solo?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/revenant/Herald-bugging/first#post5687960

They keep turning themselves off as of last update

Thanks I’ll post in bug forum

Personally for me anything with healing is a no unless your using staff only.

I used full valkyrie armor personally as I read once higher health does beat high toughness. With everything else zerker I’m running 75% ctit chance, with max power from gear, with pretty darn good health. I’ve had few issues so far except for glint heal sometimes causing no heal if used at wrong time.

Underwater is a mess in my opinion.

Core revenant is pretty squishy even with heavy armor, after getting herald and shield and full valkyrie armor I’m loving the class. 75% ctit chance with max power and high health mixed with the good damage. I’m doing really good until a condition hits me

After update my facets keep turning themselves off. No cooldown and they’re not being used, but just keep getting turned off randomly, any one else having this issue?

wolfram.8291:

warbignime.4610:

No, stop telling Anet to nerf content.
Just NO!!!!

lol i agree. Try asking in map chat for help. 9/10 times there will be people on the map who also need that point.

How is removing a time limit a nerf? Certain classes and certain people’s playstyle wouldn’t allow the time to be possible. YOU might have done it, but if it required you to change your complete build, buy a whole new set of armor for one HC you would be on here complaining.

In VB the other day I put up my commander tag, every 5 minutes posted in map chat to come help at my tag, created a party, and after a half hour not one person came.

A nerf to elite enimies is REQUIRED for some of this to be complete.

I haven’t done to to much with these however I was curious.

I’m core game how do I get more?

I’m HoT are there enough mastery points on the maps or will I HAVE to do achievements from story? After doing all the ones in season 2 for light in the darkness title I never wanted to go through that again

I noticed when I’m in wvw I get normal xp from the events, I’m not sure however what it goes towards anymore if anything sense wvw levels are 5k xp each and it’s separate xp

Not sure why this isn’t an option though to choose

I have both tags, I use my mentor tag in low level areas as I do map completion. Only really used commander tag in wvw and once I learn the new maps better.

I see nothing wrong with using a mentor tag if no one around doesn’t have commander tag

I’m confused. With it removed when you level you would only get spirit shards not HP.

I know we have 4 new maps, but was curious given a month or 2 from now what do you think is going to be the go to map where everyone is getting a taxi going to fill the maps?

I’ve only explored VB and wasn’t a huge fan, I kinda liked SW and drytop a lot as it was a set do this, do that, bar fills then we do this. Are the other 3 maps like that?

magicmooman.6409:

Heart of Thorns is considered one of the best and smoothest MMO releases in recent history (just check online). It’s very difficult to test and release an MMO and an MMO’s expansions and Anet has actually done really good job with Heart of Thorns in this regard. Almost all other MMO’s have way worse problems on launch day give the developers a chance to fix all the bugs many have already been addressed.

This really was an amazing launch for an mmo. No server downtime, I had no crashes at all.

Bugs should be expected. When 50 anet employees play it and it works ok that’s kinda normal, when a million people come flooding in issues are going to be found

I’m in eotm, I jump off an edge and hit space bar. Oh woops I’m dead.

I’m in core game, get a nice Vista jump off the edge hit space woops I’m dead

At LA getting to a lower ledge, jumped off…..guess what? I’m dead

Anyone else having this issue? I’m getting so used to jumping off cliffs in HoT maps becomes a habit jumping off them everywhere else -_-

Again they stated it is to prevent clipping issues with other armors.

I do think anet knows they would make a lot of money off selling armor pieces instead of outfits, but don’t want to sell us something with bad clipping issues that would make us not be happy with then

Well I can finally leave wvw now. I will give it an 8/10. I personally am not a fan of the difficulty in open world pve nearly non stop fighting, I have raids and fractals for that. Just kind of an annoyance is all

With the CD going up 5 seconds for shield skills they for sure need a buff or lower energy cost.

No idea why they changed the heal either, it simply needed a more visible use on it

Right, underwater needs it’s own legends set. Kinda odd going underwater and having to switch legends, then switch again back on land

Thank you much for the change, however when will this take place?

Also when can I use all my proofs from wvw have about 220 I can’t use at the present time

It shouldn’t be a challenge is the thing. It’s not elite only a name. It’s a new way to play. 400 HP for ONE traitline and 5 skills. There really is no reason it should cost more then any other traitline or skills

Leamas.5803:

But when is it going to take effect is a bigger question and how does it affect those who have not spent 250 points yet?

When? That’s a great question lol.

If you spent over 250 they will refund the difference

Yes they stated you’d get back all HP that were overused for future use

“We’re going to update the elite specialization unlock to find a better middle ground by reducing the cost of unlocking every possible ability for an elite specialization from 400 hero points to 250 hero points total. This means you will be able to access them much earlier in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns PvE or World vs. World and fully unlock them much earlier as well. This also means you’ll be able to experience more of the expansion story as your elite specialization earlier on while still maintaining some of our core goal. This should also help players with lots of alts try out more of the elite specializations. If you’ve already put more than 250 points into your elite specialization, surplus hero points will be refunded to your character for future use.”

Thank you so much. 250 is a much more fair number. However I wish the 400 total remained for an awesome new title at 400, the weapon at 300, and the armor at 350.

Runiir.6425:

Casual – you have all weekend to play, and maybe get 2 hours in because of other things needing done around the house.
THAT is a casual player.
If you spent 10 hours or so this weekend playing…you aren’t casual. You devoted quite a lot of hours to it if so.

Casual is a term for those that only play occasionally, if you are playing every day…or playing for long stretches at a time…you aren’t casual.

Right, as a casual player who works I generally can play 2 hours a day tops. I took a vacation this week to play herald. Only half way to herald and half way done unlocking it with spending a ton of time on it. It’s frustrating

Roy stated before launch he felt revenant and herald are currently in a good place which I would agree with. He said there shouldn’t be any major changes just some bug fixes. So right now he’s just busy with work and playing his rev.

I’ve been stuck in eotm and I really don’t like wvw. Just better then being stuck in VB for sure.

63 pages……this needs fixed prettt badly.

Again anet, simply adding the option to a vendor to trade spirit shards for HP would work

Chipofsalt.4673:

1) You don’t need your elite spec to play through HoT.

Issues isn’t playing through HoT, people want to experience all the new content with the elite specizalation.

2) It’s an elite spec – it shouldn’t be cheap by its nature.

Elite specs are not elite in any way shape or form, they are just another way to play an existing class so they should be cheap

3) It incentivizes map completion and/or WvW participation.

Same as number 1. I want to do 100% map completion and explore and do the HP’s. I just want to do then on elite spec but can’t as they are all done before it’s unlocked

4) You don’t need the entire line unlocked for it to be used (or even useful).

In most cases depends on the build, for example herald where you can ONLY use the skills from glint

5) Keeping them character bound keeps it in line with non-elite specs.

I don’t get it?

I’ve been doing non stop wvw got 176 from there so far, and 60 HP from first map. Wish I had map completion from before on my revenant somehow

Even another option, reduce all HP challenges to 5 each, reduce amount needed for elite specizalations to 200 (those with world completion already do deserve it) and allow all HP to be soloable as they should be and accessible without having to farm so so so sooooo much xp for masteries.

That’s tough to say, in a couple months when the 4 maps thin out at 3 and we have the main meta event a lot of the HP will be impossible to solo, and few people wanting to help due to them getting nothing.

Not sure if it is a matter of wanting to, or even able to. But at this rate things are no I will never be making an ult

Doing wvw events over and over and over again to get elite spec IS a grind.

Doing the exact same HP on ults over and over again IS a grind

Doing the exact same events over and over again to level masteries IS a grind.

I’m not sure if you know what grinding is.

But again you like all the other pro farmers out 100% failed to read an actual post. No one’s upset about farming HP, no one’s upset about farming mastery points.

We are upset that we are forced to do things on a class we may not enjoy to unlock an elite specizalation we want to do the content on, and can then no longer do it as it’s all done before we can unlock it

No need to make this long.

We NEED a vendor to exchange spirit shards for HP.

Then enjoy leveling masteries with the elite specizalation we want.

Masteries are per account so on ults can use spirit shards, or access then to the HP from the mastries

Why wasn’t this done?

The issue is to many people complained it’s not hard enough even though in any mmo open world pve isn’t supposed to be this insane.

Anet really messed up here. Raids and high level fractals were brought in to please these people. But the new maps feel like a giant raid with no one around.

If they decrease the difficulty these elite people with there 24 packs of mountain dew and hot pockets will complain like crazy instead of just staying in raids and fractals where they belong. Or in ff14 or wow

Every wvw level gets you between 4 to 6 (or something like that) credit things you can get = a HP. I’ve farmed about 15 hours and have gotten about 100 only sadly

I don’t mind the mastery farm (would be nice though leveling what I want in which zone)

Hero points I wouldn’t mind either if they were not forced to need masteries, or multiple people for a majority.

This is the kinda info that should of been released well over a month ago so they could get the players thoughts

HP themselves shouldn’t be locked behind mastery levels or be forced to need multiple people. I don’t know what they were thinking when they designed this
