Guild Wars 2

That sad the title can’t be earn, Took a few tries to figure out but now that I can do it, pretty decently, I am sad there no title to earn, myself.

It hard to say, more or less, not everyone going to be pleased, but some people seem to take the anger more then other too.

get a group of 4 people to do the dungeon with. I find doing it alone a tad hard, other then that, not much, lol.

I guess you need to define grind. I see it as having to kill 1,000 rats to earn pelts, where here, the goals are set out. Exploring the map, helping the people, doing the story, we earn exp, our characters grow stronger, learning new skills and allow us to explore deeper into this harsh jungle.

it actually quite fun, and i have 3 traits and a skill or two, and while I play the map, learning it, earning more hp, it reminds me when I first started and earning points to get stronger.

Odd, I played my scraper right out of the gate of HoT, and having a fun time. I admit it was odd using a melee weapon with Engi, but I got used to it right away. So not sure how one can’t play elite from the start.

Blinded by what? because I don’t show anger like everyone else? It a game, anger is reserve for important things, games while fun, do not need extreme emotions.

Unicorns and Rainbows and Ponys LOL! The expac is PoS—so it should be avoided to get the message across.

As is your right to say, but don’t just blindly pass off my opinion yourself.
This Expansion has put in a lot of new and fun things. Some of the changes are not as bad as made out also. They even improve things I believe. You have to play to earn this, it the nature of the game.

Since you already have your pvp character with the skills unlocked, why would you need that?

Oh sorry, but I am not a fan boy, just a player out to have some fun.

blind facebook? lol I do not know what fb is.

Also I am not blind, I gave a reason for some of the things the OP mention. So far from playing, nothing really been bad. I adapt to changes, and yeah, if it was bad maybe I be upset, but there nothing really changed that hurt. In fact, I notice some prices had drop, though thick leather seem to be worth something again.

Or it could be, that your opinion may not be 100% in line with how other people feel too.

pvp offer half the transmutation charges, and frankly that still fine. You just need to change your stuff out a little less, but they are repleace with a new item that suposed to do something. (i forget what)
EotM was changes cause of the way it was used, and most WVW user hated that, and while I never saw a problem, Anet been trying to help recover some trust from then, it slow progress.
I do not know on Festivals, but a lot can be earn by Rng, or buying from gems too, so the fact they allow you to earn if you want by farming I think is good too.
XP and salvages I not notice a differnce, I seem to be earning around the same amout, in fact I seem to been lucky on them, so not sure what changed.
Guilds, well, as a 2 person one, it sucks, but I also know you can’t please everyone. Sometimes you have to adapt to the change, and not except everything to change to you.
I can’t say I know anything about dungeons.

Sometimes you do not always get what you want. Can’t make everyone happy, cause there always been someone who dislike it. You have to just go with it and adapt. Sure you can complain and be upset, but you should not get angry over it, or except everything to just change too.
I say this as a 2 person guild my self, we will adapt and figure it out later, either by getting help or dealing with it.

Does anyone know how long the Halloween event will last for?

Can’t reset, plus Elite skills wont unlock unless your characters skill in other area max out anyways.
fyi, core map hero points you can earn up to 200, you only need 60 to begin your elite track, and in HoT, you earn 10 points per HP on the jungle points.

man, and here I was telling my friends, it going to be easy to earn these things on my alts, and it suck a little. Once you unlock mastery, most of the HP i had to fight my way to, will be so much simpler, lol. alt collecting, bam, easy.

the thing is, if people would post properly, threads would not need to be merged, lol.
200 specks got me my scrapper and oe line choice and 2 minior ones. *not sure what the 1-3-1 things are called, hehe

I really do not know. I not minded it. I seen them as a goal, as i got stronger, i can explore the harsh jungle. Fining new way to travel. It going to be sad how easy it is for my alts to just waltz through it, but that also the benefit i feel too.

The only things that you could argue are grind are optional bonuses and rewards that aren’t necessary. Those are there for the people who want to be hardcore.

.

Okay ty you convinced me

I start HoT now and play the new story.

… oh wait whats this O.o

…. i cant go on playing without grinding 5 mio xp to do the next story episode ( its more than from 0 to 80)

but nice guy at forum told me i only have to grind for optional bonuses and rewards that aren’t necessary.

it must be a bug O.o

until it will be fixed i go on swinging my sword and after that i swing it again cause thats great

You can say the same thing from the beginning. of the game, level 10 story need level 10. You should be level 20 for the level 20 area. can’t equip this awesome shield till I hit level 30. Everything need effort of the player. There no race though, so don’t try to burn your self out also.

They cant all be wrong!

Actually, yes. Yes, they can. That’s a typical argumentum ad populum fallacy. Just because “everyone is doing it”, doesn’t mean it’s the right way or even a good way to do things.

I agree with OP, locking things behind XP is not fun at all, and it’s off-putting to just about everyone I know, especially when there’s no quick way to progress things for those who can’t invest hours upon hours of doing unrewarding stuff on maps full of confused people. Well, I say full because you see them talking in map chat, but in truth you hardly ever see anyone because the maps are huge and the player limit is too small. Also, now I see why they destroyed any chance of using tomes and writs of experience prior to the expansion.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Isn’t everything since the start of the game been lock behind xp? don’t enter this area till level 25. Chapter 3 requires at least level 30. How is this any different?

It most likely does not help that Halloween is happening too. I been spending more time on that fun, before I do the Jungle fun. It annoys me, but Halloween only a couple weeks, (maybe 3?) and the jungle be there when I am ready.

I always did wish killing the mobs and using the nods help in wvw points. It be a sorta clearing and collecting point.

If you read the thread on specialization, then you know there are currently 40 Jungle hero challenges. Also each one of though is worth 10 points.

Problem is, more people come to the forum to read or complain so you wont get a good poll answer. Also I bet some people may not even tried. I know I been busy with Halloween, yet I am still a scrapper with my 200hp i had from core, and it is fun. I am not sure the full problem, but I feel like it it was easier, it might no be fun.

I’m only have a 2 person guild mostly, and it sorta sucks, but at the same time we understand. It hard cause were mostly on at the same time, so it was always easy for us. We know if we want to do some guild things, we need to find some people, or maybe even join a bigger one / find help from another small guild.
While I would like a change to make it easier, at the same time, I am not sure they should also.

It a goal to earn while exploring the harshness of the jungle.

A goal to earn?
You consider the elite spec to be a simple trophy you get at the end?
Sorry, I wanted to play the jungle as my espec, not get it as an end reward for doing all of the hero points in the jungle, grats here’s an elite spec to stick on a shelf somewhere.

I could go do core world completion for half of it, so that it only ruins half the jungle grinding for the other 20 points, but that’s not how I envisioned starting off with my Rev.

Seeing how I enter the jungle as a scrapper and was doing well from the start, it was a goal. Enjoyed exploring, earning a few hp to fill in the gaps, and man, fun time.

over and over again ………. #snore

Yeah cause what i find is a snore are easy and quickly earn goals.

Rampage.7145:

+1 Why didnt the advertise this nonsense before is what i ask, during the beta events and whatnot so people woould not feel this disapointing about wasting money. I am pretty sure they will nerf this nonsense at some point alongside with offrening cheaper vesion of the game, so we could just have waited for that to happen.

They did, it was aid you need to use hp to unlock them. THere was rumor data mined for 250+, though I am unsure the excat amount needed, you could have had 200hp from core map, the elite unlock at 60hp, and now we learn you can ear 400 in the jungle from 40 points. So truly we are lucky it not that bad. It a goal to earn while exploring the harshness of the jungle.

I still not seen the grind, I see it as a goal, maybe cause I have no problem with it, but it seem working up to the next story is good.

HoT. Your on a gw2 forum, and as such you get a gw2 answer, lol.

There should be 200+ core map hp to earn in the world. If you do not want to earn them, the jungle now has 40 hp also, but jungle points give you 10hp per one.
The change your talking about mean, at level 80 you have enough HP to max your core skills.

It is really funny, I assume since the lybernth was outside tyria of sorts, it was working as design. My friend and I earning some pretty good loot and also having fun. We are not worried about mastery though because of still finishing up explorer achievement, but I am sorry to the people who don’t really have a fresh plan for mastery completion.

Halloween keeping me from the jungle, but I plan to explore a little today with my friend to grab a couple points to explore and such, but we want to focus on the event mostly for this weekend.

Not bored, just needed an ice cream break, so far, my limited time in the jungle been fun, though I been focus on holloween stuff.

I been focus on Halloween stuff, but I remember from the betas, my friend and I, we did not do half bad on the content. The only problem came from gear not our own, so we were not set up how were used too, but we had a easy time doing story part 1 compare to our first couple times, lol.

hehe, hearing that it was a bug is now a bummer, I was fine with it before, but it does not matter to me, I just find the situation funny now.

DeceiverX.8361:

I don’t need to reiterate what has been stated so many times on the 40-page monster thread of complaints.

so you admit your aware of a thread already the same as your, yet you posted a new one?

So far, I got everything that I payed for and more, so not sure why I need a refund. I mean I did my research, and a little gambling, but Anet gave me what I payed for. Did you not receive something you should have, is that why your making no sense in your topic?

So I am now this year event. I ran around in the mad king relm a little, but I was wondering what there is else to do. I think while running around LA, i saw a dungeon and a clock king jumping puzzle. Anything else I should be aware of to do?

The jungle is supposed to be a bit hard. You got to move out of the way, or maybe update some gear. Enemy hit hard so maybe a little toughness in the stats, or more health. Change a trait or two, you got to adapt to the changes.

The 4 new jungle maps I would assume, in the HoT.

It’s just 40 jungle points… If you bought the expansion, you’re going to be spending a lot of time in the jungle anyway.

Besides, do I have to remind you again that you will be getting rewards in WVW that auto-boost them?

I know you’re anxious because the patch is taking so long to download, but try out the new system.

Can you explain what jungle points are and how to obtain them? Never heard of them before but if it makes the long 400 HP grind shorter I’m all ears.

Jungle points is just short for hero points earn in the jungle. Each one is worth 10 hp. Mostly anet decided it was unfair to ask people to earn all of core hp and the jungle ones. but if you did do the core hero points, that like 200, and so a good boost to earning them anyways.

I can’t get past the name, I am not sure what I want to call em yet. So i guess I am level zero.

Your right, why earn something, let just go right to the end of the game now, hehe.
400 points is only 40 jungle points, and I am not even sure how many of the 400 needed. On top of that, any hp earn in the core maps, is part of this, like my engi already has 200 hp to start her role as a scrapper.

I believe this is a good step forward, even if i admit to leaving one event just before the end to make my way to the next sometimes, lol.

Were the boxes bad? I only done this boss a couple times, so not really sure.

I say in official release time you can, in say 10 minutes or so.

I admit this is good, and maybe a little bad. But as long as it not to bad, this is good.

wouldn’t this just change the price kinda, so not really a nerf, just mean more you can do?
