I No Longer Care - Do You?

in Living World

TehPwnerer.7215

I no longer care about the Living Story updates, I really don’t.
I don’t care if I don’t get all achievements or minis.

Honestly, I’d rather wait 1-2 months and get no new content for 3-5 New Crystal Desert maps with new Dungeons and WELL WRITTEN story.

Agreed with this. These updates every 2 weeks hold a few hours worth of achievement zerging, acquiring whatever useless armor skin / back piece / mini pet that they award us for 12-14 achievements worth of zerging, and a laughable at best story.

I’d much rather wait 2-3 months for something substantial like opening up some closed doors, making new zones, expanding Tyria & adding other continents, adding new races, and story lines. I would say new armors and weapons but I’ve honestly had enough with the “New weapon & armor skins added!” via RNG boxes or Gem store purchases.

Don’t expect things like that to happen. Arenanet doesn’t know how to handle a game with so much potential. I’m actually amazed how they screwed it up compared to GW1.

They have it so easy. They could have literally remade GW1 with the new gameplay mechanics and graphics and people would have been happy but they decided to try to reinvent the wheel and it’s coming along more like a block of wood.

So much wasted and lost potential with lore, location, and more. It really is sad to see that this game could have been so much more and there’s still time to change it (It’s only been out 14 months) but I doubt they will. They legitimately think they’re doing what is correct by MMO standards and what their fans want.

They say that they read the forums and listen to feedback but how could that be true if they keep doing things that go against what almost every player wants?

I know it's a stretch, but Abaddon?

Abaddon is dead and so is his essence. The story in nightfall explained that only the raw power of a god is what remains when they are destroyed.

Dhuum and Menzies are up for grabs to a LS arc though. The old god of death is still locked away and Menzies is there, just very quiet for some reason. Both are great opportunities for a revisit of UW and FoW.

I’ve made a thread on the subject. I’d love to revisit those areas in GW2.. Have been suggesting this since before launch. =)

i wouldnt be surprised if what scarlet saw wasnt the eternal alchemy, but abaddon and abaddon is what caused scarlet to go over the deep end.

That’s kind of where I was going with that. I mean it could be possible, right?

I never said it was Abaddon. But who’s to say this hybrid thing (hybrid of what exactly) isn’t somehow related or something?

Hmmm Toxic Hybrid maybe gives a clue and the body style as well? (Krait and more of that Toxic spore crap)

As I said in the title, it’s a stretch. I’m hoping and dreaming but you’re probably right.

maybe not so much during the dragons awakening, because their power has to be getting sucked dry by the dragons absorbing all of it.
(P.S. arenanet, doesnt that mean that the players powers are being sucked dry too? wouldn’t at some point, the absorbtion of magic by the dragons start taking the magic of the races as well?)
maybe if they were to come about after the last of the dragons defeat or something. Like this whole scarlet thing. I highly think she is in some way connected to the dragons because for her to be doing all of this random stuff with no mention of the dragon threat that is currently underway on the whole area, then thats just some major plot holiness which is a major reason why a lot of people dislike the living story in the first place, is because so much of it feels disconnected to the dragons, to the main reason why we are even here.
Think of it like a mass disaster, during the terrorist attack on the mall in kenya(?) or during the terrorist attack in the US in 2001, the main bad things, and threats to them were the terrorists (dragons). That was a main focus and the main event that happened that kind of caused all time else-where to stop for those people dealing with the dangers and threat of them. It would have been very unlikely, and extremely unbelievable if during either attacks, there was suddenly a second threat, that was totally un-related or influenced by eachother. Imagine godzilla attacking during the 9/11 attacks, or something along those lines. Its just a really rare event where two extremely bad things happen together around the same time without having influenced each other which makes it unbelievable. That’s what the living story kinda of is right now, is unbelievable, especially in this world where we are told from level 1 that our main threat is the dragons, and that Zhaitan is the biggest of threats (granted hes dead now ‘supposedly’).
If Anet is to fix this issue, they would link scarlet to the dragons, the easiest one being mordremoth, which they have ample opportunity to do, and will have more opportunity to do with the time to come. It all really rests on the shoulders of the writers, and what really depends on how easy it’ll be for them for that to happen is if they planned for it to be dragons all along in the end or if scarlet was a total random event in tyrian history.
Now, a lot of people are mad about scarlet and the living story because of how unrelated they seem to the core game, so i think even if they hadn’t planned for scarlet to be linked to dragons, that she will most likely be linked to dragons now anyway.
I have a theory that she is to be linked to dragons all along, and that Anet was just doing their typical story telling where they give you one baddie after the other and in the end it turns out the thing that connected them all together was an even worse baddie. That’s how the story for prophecies went. To be honest, the story for prophecies in GW1 was so confusing to me in game, i had no clue what was going on and never did even after beating the campaign until i watched a wooden potatoes video detailing the whole plot. Thats when it clicked finally and i rally understood how great of a story it was. I think that scarlets story was meant to be just like prophecies in that way, where we just have noclue why she is doing this, why this is all happenning now, and then at the end, boom its a new dragon, or a resurrected/neverdead/undead*cough*revamped*cough* Zhaitan that was influancing her. I think the reason why its gotten so confusing now is because a lot of the planning for when certain info was to be released got into disarray because the community just wasn’t seeing it, or they just wanted the answers now, or they were expecting just a little side story with each update and not some very long and layered story-telling, which all the anger is probably a combination of the three and more.

But anyway, that’s why i think dragons are influencing scarlet. :P

Holy enter key, batman.

hes not entirely dead. His power is now inside Kormir, so in essnace, part of him is a part of her now. and if Anet wanted, they could certainly spin that around to being why the human gods have been so silent (cuz abbadon has been messing with them) and why scarlet has been doing all this stuff (assuming the entity or power that changed her while she was in the eternal alchemy was abbadon)
I dont think its abbadon though, Maybe mordremoth.

Yeah possibly Mordemoth. The only reason I didn’t speculate that is because we know so little about him. Either way it’d be a breath of fresh air to get some actual story going.

Interesting idea…except for one problem.


He died at the end of Nightfall, and Kormir took his power. So he’s pretty much all but guaranteed to be a no show except for fractals.

Yeah I played through GW1 I know all about the events that took place. I’m just thinking it’d be interesting if they were somehow related in any way… I’m tryin to find hope for this living story here lol.

Guild Management Tools - any updates?

Guys guys, we haven’t even gotten most of the stuff from blogpost about 2013 and stuff. Do not expect this to be update really soon.

This should not be something we need to be requesting…. This game has been out a year without any update whatsoever to guild management or guild tools. Guild Wars 1’s guild system far surpassed this as far as management tools and features on day 1.

https://d3b4yo2b5lbfy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/wallpapers/4b88511-12_tNW-1920x1200.jpg

I know I know, that’s a huge stretch and giving Anet a lot of credit to involve Abaddon or his minions somehow in this living story with Scarlet of all things, but maybe he’s the mastermind behind all of this? He did give humans magic after all, so is it that unlikely that he chose Scarlet to give powers to so that she could become our villain we know today?

+ 1 Indigo, and the additional issue with Queensdale is that it is the most popular map for leveling new chars, so many of the new (and trial) accounts run over this problem way too early. Get started in game, do a few personal story quests, explore your first map , find a cave, touch a stone ……. and get half the map raging at you :-)
Not good at all from a business perspective.

I agree, that’s really why I have the biggest problem with it. It’s because new players will instantly be turned off to the game if they’re treated this way just for PLAYING THE GAME.

I was trying to get 5 more scraps so I could turn them in for 1 ticket. But I’m so kitten ed off right now that I won’t be supporting this game via cash anymore. Scraps should NOT be hard to get.

More Gambling, More Gemstore, More Grinding

Again, another Living Story, another set of RNG gem store weapons, another gem store Armor.
Well, I guess time to grind gold again since I don’t want to spend god knows how much money gambling on Black Lion chests.

How about you?

I’d have to say get use to it, ’cuz thats all they seem to want to do. Sure we maybe get a piece here or there (Scarlet shoulder thing, fused gauntlets) but never a full set. (And does anyone even use the Scarlet shoulder thing?)
Same goes for the weapons, why does it pretty much always have to use those kitten tickets?

Royal weapons during Queen’s Pav, Aetherized Nightmare weapons for TA. Having said that I am very disappointed those weapons aren’t rewards for completing the actual content.

Agreed. Remember in GW1 (And other MMOs) how when new weapons were introduced, they were a reward from completing content and overcoming challenges? Dhuums Soul Reaper? Yeah that was a sick reward that you didn’t have to spend any cash on – just had to complete a dungeon and get one to drop for you. Those were the days.

If you don’t expect all new weapon and armor sets to be introduced via the gem store at this point, you haven’t been playing GW2 for over a month. Until we get an expansion (or something that equates to that) we will not see anymore weapons or armor skins added to the game that don’t revolve around RNG boxes, gems, or ca$h.

Such is GW2. I’d say get used to it. Just don’t buy them and urge your friends not to and maybe they’ll take the hint (They won’t – because nobody will stop buying RNG boxes) and stop making EVERY SINGLE NEW ARMOR AND WEAPON SET BE FROM THE GEM STORE.

Give it time for this print of games to leave circulation, next wave of game boxes will just be Scarlet’s dumb smug face behind “Guild Wars 2” on the box.

Zerging is getting ridiculous

Ok lol so I log in to the game patch day and already have the meta nearly completed. Why? Zerging. I log in hoping to explore the new patch having finished all the Halloween stuff and what do I see? Tons of commnders and a giant cluster of zerg in Kessex.

That’s really fun and engaging.

World v World should be renamed to “Who has the bigger zerg?”
Living Story should be “Zerg for achievement points every month”
Guild Wars 2 should be “Zerg Wars 2”
… you get the idea.

I mean really, can we expect to see anything else in the future that doesn’t just translate to “Here’s the next zerg for achievement points”? Because as I said, it’s getting out of control. This game is just zergs everywhere and it really takes away from the fun.

I just wish they had more of a role in Guild Wars 2. Guild Wars Beyond just seems so unfinished and War in Kryta hardly left us with “White Mantle are done with and so are the Mursaat” so where are they in Guild Wars 2? I mean where are they really?

Every other game launcher I’ve seen as of late does this. Heck even Guild Wars (GW1) has it where when you launch the game, the login screen (essentially the launcher for the sake of argument) has patch notes and updates on-screen.

I like being able to read the new patch notes while the game updates and some games choose to launch the browser linking to the forum thread describing the updates and some just have the notes in the launcher. Either of these are acceptable and welcomed changes.

Both still exist. If your playing human and choose the path never knew my parents you get the option of playing through part of your personal story with the While Mantel as your Foe. However it would be nice to see either group, although the shining blade looks to be more the queens elite guards and nothing more now, take a larger role in the world.

I’ve done that story line and I have a hard time believing that they’re either just Queen’s guard for the Shining Blade and bandits for the White Mantle. And if that’s truly where ArenaNet left them and plans to keep them there I will be extremely disappointed.

GW2 Needs More Farm Alternatives

TehPwnerer.7215

I haven’t read your post just yet as I’m busy until tomorrow, but I’ve bookmarked it and will read tomorrow. I do think that they need to decide their final stance on farming. They want us to farm for everything in the game. Legendaries, holiday items, achievements, etc. but they have so many safeguards in place to prevent people from farming.

They need to figure it out because it’s sort of annoying having all this farm-heavy required stuff in game but so many farming preventions.

BLC Weapon Skins

in Blood and Madness

Posted by: TehPwnerer.7215

TehPwnerer.7215

Selfish entitled players want everything and don’t think it’s fair that prestige items exist that they can’t get. Except they can: the skins are still availble on the TP.

Oh the cost is too high? So it’s greedy selfish entitled players who are also misers. Nice.

I find that the greedy players are the one’s who ask for gated elite content.

It’s greedier to want something for cheap when other people have already busted their kitten to afford that same item. Currently, the only gate is how much effort you want to spend to get gold and if people want the skins to come back so that they have to work less at that than the new people who have just dropped 250+g for the skins over the summer, shame on their sense of entitlement.

I just think it’s wrong for people to DEMAND that these awesome items remain exclusive to last years event.

I just think it’s wrong for people to DEMAND that these awesome items come back so that they can get them cheaper than what the going rate the players have been paying is.

I’m not demanding anything lol I’m saying that I think they should come back. Would I care if they did or didn’t? No. I already have them anyway but I don’t think that festive items should be exclusive to the people who can pay hundreds of gold for festive items.

Whether or not they come back won’t affect me – as I said. I just feel that everyone should have a chance at getting these without paying out the butt for them.

BLC Weapon Skins

Posted by: TehPwnerer.7215

No offense but I hope to god they do NOT come back EVER… These should be something that people who have been around since the beginning have a priviledge of owning. They can go ahead and make new weapons but I will be EXTREMELY kittened off if they bring these back…

I’ve played every beta, played since 3 day head start, own these weapons, and disagree with you. These are holiday, festive items that took no skill to acquire in the first place.

All of these things required a ridiculous amount of gold and luck – that’s all. They’ve also completely redone the way items are awarded in-game (We’ve come a long way since throwing holiday items in BLC).

I for one disagree with you that these should not return simply because they originally took no skill or effort to get last year. Just luck or gold. Not sure why you’d be kitten ed off that items are returning for others to enjoy, but based on this (and every other thread I’ve seen you in this sub-forum) it seems that you are just an elitist.

Edit: To be clear I have tons of gold and have sold tons of precursors so buying these items would be no skin off my back. I just think it’s wrong for people to DEMAND that these awesome items remain exclusive to last years event.

Ever play GW1? Every item reward except for the festival hats returned year after year for Halloween and Christmas events so I’m going to suggest you get used to the idea that these items are not supposed to be hundreds of gold and beyond, nor should they be something that not everyone can enjoy.

If you were smart you would know that in gw1 polar bear minipets, or any rare minipet in that matter, did not return year after year. They were extremely rare and based on RNG farming, quite similar to the Halloween skins, where people would farm for keys to get the skins. Not everyone had the pleasure to enjoy a miniature vizu, island guardian, panda, grawl, zhed, etc. So on that base, I can safely presume that Anet will not be releasing these again.

Plus, if Guild Wars 2 wants to stay on top of their game I highly doubt that they will be re-releasing the same content year after year. Their main income is based purely on gem store sales and majority of players already have the skins. So you do the math big boy, because I’m sure their profit margin is much higher with new skins.

P.S. by the sounds of it, you sound exactly like one of those poor souls that didn’t get a skin during the event, so quit lying and complaining. Thanks.

I’m not complaining. I’m also “Smart enough” being a GWAMM and having 50/50 (paid for by selling the mini polar bear I farmed for and eventually got – which was available as a drop every Wintersday) I can assure you that you know nothing about what you claim to know about.

It’s not easy leading a group of random players with all sorts of guild tags, casuals, etc. etc., particularly for a tough boss like Tequa, great job by Swifty in taking the intiative to organize….

Thanks Scoot really do appreciate it. I mean just look at about every thread on the forums. We were always listed as one of the servers that would never kill Teq.

Indeed. For whatever reason the complainers on this forum for Teq Talk still think this fight is all about numbers. Spamming the dragon with sheer numbers and dpsing him down, haha. They neglect great threads like this one alongside the myriad of helpful threads from other servers and guilds.

It is what it is…again congrats!

Thanks. I definitely agree with what you said too and I’m glad that you think threads like this are the exception! ^^

Congratulations and welcome to the club of the most superskilled elite players in GW2! (yeah this is to get on someone’s nerve)

Did you man the turret? Because if you man the turret you are at least 43% more skillful than the rest of the lowly zerg.

P.s. this thread has a disturbing lack of Charmanders

Yeah last week I was in the turret. The kill video can be seen here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/tequatl/Add-Darkhaven-to-the-list/first#post2893130

But this week I was part of the turret defense and was one of the people in charge of adjusting wherever I was needed during the megalazer portion.

You’ll be mad to know that I almost have GWAMM and am at 48/50 in HoM in GW1. Does it bother you so much that I enjoy the game so much that I do achievements in my spare time? Life must be hard being so mad at such trivial things. I was just posting this thread because I was excited I got the new achievements to Tequatl – especially before he’s “nerfed” on Tuesday.

Excited about what? That you completed the most boring kitten ever?

I just got my 9/9 achievement today. You know? The one they hand out for enduring the fight 9 times. Once per day, and I couldn’t stomach that much because it took me 12 days. It’s impossible on my server.

I don’t mind people getting account wide bonuses from achievement points or special stat gear, but they need to do something of merit. Not: grind, grind, grind.

None of the achievements I’ve earned have felt like a grind at all. I’ve never done anything I didn’t want to. It sounds to me like this game just isn’t for you? You mentioned final Fantasy 14. I hear that’s the least grindy MMO to date.

I agree. They went WAY overboard with the karma nerf. As you said, it flowed like water before. I had over 2mil and I never farmed Karma. Since the update I’ve only gotten around 120k karma… Not cool.

You know, just because you don’t like the content, does that mean you necessarily have to rain on someone else’s parade?

I don’t play PvP, but I’d never go into a PvP thread and try to insult someone’s achievement…even if I didn’t think it was much of an achievement I wouldn’t.

This is the kind of player that is toxic to the spirit of the Guild Wars franchise. Perhaps Final Fantasy 14 Online would be a better fit.

I came to this game so I could get away from achievements and grinding.

Yeah, that’s great. Look at how you churned out all of the achievements! GW2 is made for people like you! And in a couple of weeks you’ll get to churn out another 50! Wow, so fun!

Every time I try to do this on Borlis Pass, I get dumped into overflow with 20 people. Though honestly, I think I prefer that when considering the fact that I’d have to sit in Sparkfly Fen for an hour doing nothing if I really cared all that much.
