Guild Wars 2

Where’s this new content you speak of?

Ran dungeons, did JP, opened champion loot bags, did some meta events. Didn’t see anything yet.

I Start the game after patch, just found out the monthly been reset.

WHATS HAPPENING HERE!!! i done 3 task… now need to re-do again…????

where is the NOTE “will reset monthly after patch?”

I WANT MY MONTHLY BACK!!!!

If you took 3 seconds to check dev posts you would see thakittens a bug they are working on. It was not intended.

Doesn’t change that people have already completed the monthly again and got double the rewards.

This really has me upset more than anything about the countless other crap that was screwed since the patch today (monthlies, anyone?).. I really hope to see an explanation for this.

I was so happy and excited to see GW1 items return as ascended accessories, rings, what have you. Now to REMOVE them straight up because they had magic find? That is so messed up.

By the way people that have them keep them and can just choose stats. So anyone who has had it before the update gets to keep it but nobody else will get one.

Once again people who get all the content done day 1 get rewarded. Someone finished it again today in my guild (who finished it yesterday previously) got the reward again. I’m sure once they “fix it” you’ll be able to get it done AGAIN too.

That really frustrates me. All I needed was one more daily completion to be done with the monthly and they go and reset all my freaking progress.

Didn’t they say Precursors would be craftable by the end of the year?

I play a condition warrior. This really does need to be fixed because I refuse to go Berserker stats like 90% of the population.

Shelledfade.6435:

I have to disagree completely, these ascended skins are absolutely terrible.

There’s no way I’m going out of my way to craft something that looks as bad as that.

I’m going to stop playing this game again, this is not the direction I wanted it to go in. What was the point of playing through all of that other stuff, just to do MORE stuff all over again, that’s just the way MMO’s are though, after you’re done grinding, get an update and grind some more. I’m out, peace.

Summed up my thoughts here.

So now it’s completely removed from the game because it had magic find on it? Please tell me you will re-release it with other stats… That was going to be my next ascended item (was going to buy it purely for the lore of the item) and now it’s unavailable because it had magic find on it???

There are more that were removed because they had magic find on them and I’m extremely disappointed that they’re gone. Those items had a ton of lore behind them and they are now just gone?

These skins are so freaking boring I can’t believe it.

Condas.7056:

They are accountbound then I assume? I have over 600 boxes to open when I get home from work…

They sure are.

Salvaged around 20 exotics and got around 30 globs.

Aisina.4963:

+1 for some HoM love!

I think showing off our HoM skins should give us a sense of pride and achievement, updating the great-sword effects would be a step in the right direction.

Exactly. Because as it stands there’s no point in wearing the Fellblade (amongst other skins) because of the way they look compared to the originals.

Yeah I opened just over 200 boxes today and got like 10 stacks -____- really what the hell am I gonna do with all of these?

Is the Super Adventure Box. I loved it the first time through and now I love it even more the second time around. The lobby with the jumping puzzle to get to the flags, the new rewards, the setting, the music… Everything.

What do you guys think of the return of SAB?

Then they could have made them cool not brown pieces of poo with lights shining through them.

Are you serious? They’re so plain and ugly… For the (now) strongest weapons in the game they sure don’t look like it. They look like they’d be skins for level 10 or level 20 weapons.

Good to know. I’ll delete my post then.

Neat. I was at 3/4 all I was waiting on was another day of doing dailies. That’s so messed up that people who rushed to get it done day 1 get double the rewards. Thanks for letting us know you’d reset the monthly, ArenaNet. That’s super cool to have let me and others know not to waste our time even progressing it.

Manoa.5897:

As someone who was fortunate enough to try the new Tequatl encounter yesterday, I found it exhilarating and a lot of fun. I greatly look forward to seeing it on live and brainstorming strategies with my servermates on how to bring him down.

There’s a bunch of things to keep in mind about what you saw on the livestream. The developer intervention seemed to be only just enough to progress the event along so they could show the whole event off for the live stream. There were only 20 players playing during the live stream at any given time (60 total split among three groups of 20). We did also have developers and alpha testers participating on the back end as well. But I’m willing to bet we didn’t have near the 80+ players they said we’d need to successfully complete the event.

Also, we were playing with a bunch of people we had never played with before and playing mechanics we had never encountered before. And a lot of us didn’t even have time to digest the new mechanics and take advantage of LFG tool before we had to jump into the fray.

Another thing to keep in mind we were dumped onto pre-generated characters and many of us were playing unfamiliar builds. Most folks barely had a chance to swap out to different weapon sets. And all the pre-made characters were on accounts with keybinds set to default, which very much felt like playing with your hands tied behind your back if you rely heavily on customized keybinds.

What you saw on the livestream was a lot rougher than what we’ll likely see on live due to all these factors. I’m sure once it goes live and we’re playing on builds we’re familiar with, playing with our own keybinds, and actually have some level of coordination (especially when folks take more advantage of the new LFG tool), things will go a LOT smoother.

I’ve personally experienced encounters that required the same level of coordination and strategy in City of Heroes (the Hamidon Raid revamp). The COH community banded together and came up with strategies to bring the Hami down regularly and reliably. And in doing so, we bonded and our server communities became incredibly tight-knit as a result of the experience.

Don’t fret! I’m confident that our GW2 community will totally be able to come up with some strategies to bring Tequatl down! We can do it!

Awesome! Thanks for the first hand feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed it and glad you’re confident the rest of us will do well and enjoy it =)

Thanks for the support Liege! We all hope that someday it will receive an overhaul to give it the awesome appearance it had in GW1. =)

All of the people saying crap about how people who are “super 1337 uber hardcore” don’t PvE, that’s fine that’s your opinion. There are plenty who love to PvE and love challenging content for PvE. Just because you don’t doesn’t mean others (or everyone) feel the same.

Another thing, we don’t know for sure that nobody will do Tequatl after his revamp. We can only hope that people find the potential and the fun in the new challenge and keep going at it.

TheGuy.3568:

You had 30 days to get it done.

-Thread-

While the window is 30 days not everyone has 30 days of available playing tim to do their monthly achievements.

I hear blues are less than a silver on the TP. Same with salvagable junk like chunks of ore, scraps, or what have you.

How about no. I can get there much quicker than 2 minutes and I don’t want my damage kitten. They did this so it can’t just be zerged down. I 100% approve the change.

If you don’t want a long run back, avoid death.

SirMoogie.9263:

I’m excited for events that can fail. Now all they need are epic consequences for failure.

Well if the new rewards are of the same chances that we have come to know then failing will most likely only result in a missed out rare, a green or two, a blue, and a few silver. In other words no real consequence at all.

Once again the loot has been adjusted to award success. Ascended items, minipets, and ascended crafting materials is not “blues and greens”.

If Cantha came back as a kittening futuristic region with cars and skyscrapers and neon lights I would literally uninstall.

Good idea.

To keep the economy going there need to be soulbound items. If everything could be traded freely between everyone, nobody would be able to sell or anything. If this was GW1, things could remain tradable and unbound.

I think a lot of people want to get rid of the salvage warning from masterworks. I am one of them.

Their priorities are screwed. They updated already awesome legendaries while the dull ones got shafted and got NO changes.

I agree they should be account-bound. But I mean it’d be just as annoying having to switch the tools from character to character.

This needed a thread.

Donari.5237:

I bet if Evon had won, they’d have mentioned Ellen as the secondary character. The vote sidelined him, not the fiendish dev conspiracy aimed at wrecking all our lives. *

*sarcasm™

Glad you put the sarcasm there. Because it’s true. They had Ellen worked up for months and months and then Evon, the guy standing at the TP that nobody noticed, was matched up against her. Yeah it was totes fair. BUT THATS K HES ONLY A SECONDARY CHARACTER.

And while we’re at it.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Please-give-Fellblades-the-GW1-appearance/first

Lol 700$ are you serious?

thefantasticg.3984:

No, Ryu, it is not. Not if the difficulty is too high for pug zerg.

Unfortunately you’re right. Typical GW2 players are casual as hell and need to zerg to get anything done. This will require coordination so I’m hoping it creates a good enough following with actual skilled players.

And to whoever mentioned it earlier, they won’t be able to farm champions since none of the mobs from the event give loot. To compensate this they’ve upscaled his rewards by a crap load.

Well I’m sure that with the return of Zodiac Weapons (albeit lesser versions of the originals) we may expect to see more GW1 themed weapons in the future. And no, the new ascended swords with GW1 NPC names do not count.

But back on topic. I had a guy come up to me today and ask me why I still used the Fellblade and actually suggested I check this thread out (he didn’t know it was me, obviously). He said that if I value the Fellblade I should voice my opinion on the forums to get it changed back to the original. Made me smile to know that people actually care and actually view suggestions (even as players).

Sawnic.6795:

To my knowledge, the official response is no mounts.

Yeah it has been for about a year now.

Orpheal.8263:

GW2 needs Mounts. Period

Surely not now, but give GW2 more time, let Anet handle first some of the far more important thigns with higher priorities first and then in say the next 1 to 2 years, once we come into the reach of the first real Add On, then implement Mounts with fitting features, that suit to GW2 and its to that point then advanced game world

GW2 does not need mounts. Period.

LoreChief.8391:

There is a suggestion to upgrade only the exotics that require ‘gifts of X’ to ascended. Common exotics have no place in being advanced, they are already super easy to get.

That I can get behind. Either way I’m fine with them remaining exotic because I can just transmute anyway. Exotics in general should remain exotics. Crafted ones that require a great deal of farming or money or gifts, yeah I can support that.

Marduh.4603:

Lol
LFG without new dungeons. After 1 year. Congratulations to the Chinese.

It’s a LFG tool for more than dungeons.

You can open different tabs that are looking for groups for everything.

And you’re lfg for other things that are dungeons very often? yeaaaaah, thought so.

Just because you don’t doesn’t mean that others do or don’t. I’ve seen on several occasions people looking to map complete, run event chains, do temples, etc.

lekyii.9856:

Cmon guys dont event try to White knight on this, they really fail on this one

I feel that the new Tequatl is a step in the right direction and I welcome more changes that are like that to other content in the game like the other meta events and even dungeons.

Oh noes, better not white knight and give my opinion. Get off your high horse and stop telling others what they can and can’t say or think. Some people like it – some don’t. Respect both sides.

Gizmo.8623:

If Anet thinks that the updates we got revitalise the game, they are simply wrong. They add very small things that are just time-takers. I’ve done them only for Achievement Points.
GW2 could really use 10-15 revamps like Tequatl right now. That could change the game. But if we really have to wait another weeks for anything with minimum of substance and impact crafting our Ascended weapons in meantime then I have one question:
If the game took 6-7 years to be in state we have now (so from scrap, through every possible stage of creation), why after one year we haven’t received at least 1/6 of content we have now?
What would that be:
4 new, complete maps, 10-15 new mobs, new class or 2, new race or 2, new personal story missions (I’d say about 10-12 ), one or two new world bosses, new skills, new crafting profession, new music, some WvW content (not these mastery lines, which are fillers imo). PvP could use a lot more resources than this 1/6.
All these holiday events, temporary stuff imo MISSED SO MUCH what the game needed I lack the english words to describe it properly.

Because making AAA games are inexpensive and take no time at all.

Um. How does ascended gear kill builds? I fail to see how this is possible at all. I have a build. I get gear for that build. OMG I GOT AN UPGRADE, BETTER CHANGE MY BUILD.

It’s silly to think this way. Also not all of your alts will ever be fully decked out in ascended gear and I think that’s sort of the point. I don’t expect all of my alts to ever be fully decked out in 100% ascended items.

Honestly I don’t see the need for a LFG tool. I have no problem getting groups with my guild and from what I have seen pugs are pretty abundant as well because it’s easy enough to find a group of 5 like minded individuals looking to run the same dungeon.

Ok so I’ve seen a lot of stuff on the forums lately about this mini. I don’t understand the big deal. Ever hear of Blizzcon? New pets being given out only for attendees of that convention? Gamescom? Pax? Every gaming convention has stuff they give out to people for attending. This has all been done before by every gaming company in the world.

What I don’t understand is, I’ve also heard ways of getting the mini aside from going to Germany. And since I wasn’t able to go to Germany I am in fact interested in how these are obtained so if anyone has any information as to how, aside from conventions, this mini is acquired I’d love to hear it.

Thanks.

Just ignore that tool. That’s all he does all day is talk crap about the game. Yet he sticks around just to talk kitten and complain. Just ignore his posts and move on. Vayne and Nuka Cola are both people I refuse to respond to because that’s all they do is complain while offering no alternative solutions or constructive feedback.

Xaielao.8510:

Individual or guild recognition would only lead to (even more) elitism. So IMHO there shouldn’t be any.

This ^

The quote below is why I agree. There’s already enough of this crappy attitude in game. We don’t need “guild recognition” or “OMG IM DA BES” recognition to further the crappy elitism problem.

I don’t think that everyone who just comes along to participate should be entitled to the same chance at the same rewards.

Agreed Ricky. My one concern is low populated hours of the night and one other, more prominent concern. People going “Why do this when I can just farm champs in ________?” That’s my biggest fear.

I love the look of this new revamped fight but I know the GW2 population and most that I’ve experienced would rather take the path of least resistance at all costs. That’s my biggest worry is that people will go “Oh I failed, WTF? NERF IT OR I’LL JUST CHAMP FARM IN QUEENSDALE OR FROSTGORGE” And then never show up again because it’s not just a loot pinata.

Agreed Ricky. I’m sure they’ll at least either chip away a TINY bit of HP, or increase the timer by a few minutes. Either way, I’m glad they have failure conditions and a time limit.
