Mickey loves Mini.

I would die and pay $100 for each mini of KH King Mickey Riku and Sora $350 for riku if he has his Road to the Dawn Keyblade!

I dislike Scarlet. She is a bit too cartoonish for my taste. I don’t doubt that others do like her though.

I think it is a disservice to one’s opinion to attempt to claim that the, “majority,” or, “most people,” or whatever dislike her as well. If YOU don’t like her, say so. It is not the best idea to claim to speak for tens of thousands of others though.

That said, those who argue, “just don’t play the content if you don’t like it,” are making an argument every bit as flawed. The living story is the primary source of new content release. If someone is a fan of GW2, loves the game, has invested themselves in their characters, has spent money on gems, etc, it is unreasonable to suggest that they not express a desire that the only new content of significance be something that they can enjoy.

Were the Scarlet story arc a single piece of a larger picture of content release during the period of time she has been around there would be much less of an issue. The people who like her could play her story arc while those who dislike her could play through a different story arc.

or ORRRR explore new lands the desert across sea to the ring of fire islands or over to cantha maybe the magumma jungle northern shiverpeaks or istan/elona come on tired of seeing the same crap

Edit: imho I think if you add these other lands we will go there get tired of them eventually but because there is so much more landscape we will begin to miss certain ones and go back there to play with new people and help them find their way around or just to see the sights again

Xae I would because the Literal only weapons I customized were those that went into the HOM because well that was the cost of getting HoM points with said weapon and Dhuums Soul Reaper(a scythe) because as I could use scythe on my war or assassin as well the slower attack speed compared to daggers or sword on my thief wasnt viable and it just made my derv look even more bad kitten with obby armor and Dhuum’s.

the grind comes from horizontal grind mainly due to rng because gw2 hates a set way to get things unless it costs you 300000000 gold take legendaries for example I put in 9000 exotic greatswords and never saw dusk or dawn(forge) i spent 3 months doing the dragons never saw a pre had a life and job that stopped me from the one garunteed chance Karka so yea casual friendly no alt friendly no kitten friendly(or scammer) ohhhh YES. see they announced the game that it would be community oriented and players would rather be forced to help eachother but yea we saw how that turned out everyone is about them I helped when and with what I could and still do ask anyone that knows me on the game I have away 2 taeres’s shadows when they were first introduced and valued at over 350g and I’ve bought a few people commander after I finished my twilight since then I stopped playing cause soon after I managed to get Hunter and finished predator and I was done.

Eurogamer: How are you handling endgame loot – will we be farming bosses?

Colin Johanson: Everyone, including casual gamers, by level 80 should have the best statistical loot in the game. We want everyone on an equal power base. The rare stuff becomes the really awesome looking armours. It’s all about collecting the unique looking stuff and collecting all the other rare collectable items in the game: armour pieces, potentially different potions – a lot of that is still up in the air and we’ll finalise a lot of those reward systems as we get closer to release. And those come off of things like the bosses at the end of dungeons – the raids.

THIS. Current Ascended/Vertical Progression is in complete defiance of the above. Saying Ascended is alt-friendly is absurd. It is absurd for casual/normal people who happen to want more than 1 build, or when Anet decides to radically alter classes, like the Dec 10th balance patch.

While some other aspects of the game cater to alts, the game is far from being truly alt-friendly. Comparing it to other games doesn’t really work. Saying it is better here, be happy; is like telling you to drink Anti-Freeze instead of Cyanide. Both will kill you, you’ll just last longer.

It’s Optional: Until it isn’t. How long until players/content start clamoring for the new gear? Players have already started with the elitist junk, just check LFG. The system needing your agony or some other new resist WILL make its way into the world, its just a question of WHEN.

yea and I doubt many posting here know how much time goes into just agony resist then if you want a good agony resist costs you and arm and a leg to craft in the forge and that’s just 1 now with armor and weapons easy to add another what 8+ infusions needed? may as well make a legendary rather than get good infusions it will come out cheaper

I agree. I think of completely different things when I hear “Vertical progression vs. Horizontal progression” than when I hear “Ascended gear.”

Horizontal vs Vertical Progression will hopefully do the job, but i still belive that in topic should be what people wanted to talk about.

I’m sure Ascended gear will be emphasized in the OP.

ascended gear is vertical progression in gw2 its now the top tier of gear where as at release exotic was

Progressing vertically is not a substitute for good and challenging content. This game lacks the later, which is why vertical progression seems absurd. Stop defending Vertical progression as if it was the only way to play the game.

Whoa now. I definitely have to address this. You say there’s no good and challenging content? World bosses like Tequatl, FotM, and Guild Missions are available. Not to mention Jumping Puzzles that make me cry. If you choose not to do some of the challenging or elite content, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist in game.

That is, unless you play with a team of pro players that make the challenging content seem smooth like butter.

P.S. End game playing starts after you have BiS gear, your are doing it wrong, man.

P.S. – End game starts when you finish your personal story, and reach lv 80. But technically, there’s no real end game anymore, since the Living Story provides endless new content.

not true end game is after you are 80 period ps has nothing to do with it nor does equipment but bis equipment makes it more enjoyable and I have done EVERY jumping puzzle not hard teq isnt hard just requires coordination fotm got old after the first 3 months of it and the new fractal sucks I wanted gnashblades guild missions u get rewarded for once a week and it isnt hard if you have distinct leaders that lay out a plan rather than just running in like morons. your argument is invalid you just go about all of them the wrong way that’s why u think they are hard

“BiS” means Best in Slot, or top of the line. If you were given a quick and easy means of getting the best gear available, you take away the need to do content. In other words, you want a short cut to the end game.

You are really stuck in the model of other games as if there are no alternatives to that old, dated and tired model. There are!!!

Having the best in slot gear statistically (vertical progression) does not mean having the best looking gear possible (horizontal).

I played GW1 for over 10,000 hours. Never did I feel getting the Best In Slot Gear took away my need to do content. BiS gear in GW1 was practically given away for free. What it did however, was promote build diversity and experimentation. Going through the same content with totally different optimized builds was a great deal of fun.

Progressing vertically is not a substitute for good and challenging content. This game lacks the later, which is why vertical progression seems absurd. Stop defending Vertical progression as if it was the only way to play the game.

I agree I had best in slot armor and weapons at lvl 1 with my mesmer in gw1 but I do want stat wise best but I mainly focus on the appearance(horizontal) so I was always seeking the elite armors the 15k each piece armor with my dervish I sought after obsidian armor and as a semi casual since I have a life and job took me 4 years to get because there was still so many other things to get and do before getting it and I enjoyed every day of the 4 year journey to it in gw2 legendaries is what we want because it’s the best stat and visual wise. took me a year to get twilight and i hated every moment of it no real diversity in the game like in gw1 we got a kick out of “clearing” the zones killing everything and finding all of the chests in it. i even enjoyed the running aspect when i didnt have time to do dungeons and such that’s how I also made money running to different towns that people paid for to get armor skills or particular quest that they wanted or wanted to do.

Edit: with that said that makes gw2 alt unfriendly if you ask me in terms of not being able to immediately put on best in slot stat wise armor if you have the exp or coin to get to it and or buy it.

The current LS system makes this the MOST Alt-unfriendly game I know of. Nothing is really repeatable on many alts given the time gating and account based achievement system.

One small example. In GW1 I was able to do WIK 14 times, for the same reward, on all characters. The “meta” reward was not by account, but by character. The content was/is permanent, and available to be played eventually by any new character created.

Permanent content is alt-friendly. Temporary is not, and you can’t spin it any other way.

I assume you mean the achievements and not the content, because I completed the most recent LS content on every one of my alts. They all went up the Nightmare tower and killed the Hybrid. So how is that unfriendly again? Because I can’t replay it? That has nothing to do with alt-friendliness. If you had one character you still wouldn’t be able to replay it.

I guess it is alt-unfriendly if you have 12+ alts. But with 8 characters I was easily about to get them all to kill hybrid before the 4 weeks was over…. in fact 4 of the characters I did on the same day. So, uh………yea….I guess you can spin it another way.

please back off your statement shows you don’t understand yea you can go kill it with each character big whoops in gw1 you could go kill any boss you wanted with all of your character oh and guess what PERMANENT not 4 weeks. oh and the hybrid if it was a meta achievement you only got that once gw1 you got it each and every single time not just the first time and the rest was just boss chest drop for killing it. thank you

No, no, no, not like this, this needs to be done correctly.

Update 1: Scarlet opens a rift to the Underworld and Fissure of Woe. The player is able to stop her in time before she makes her way inside (~10 minute bossfight). She flees. UW and FoW are added as new permanent dungeons (and don’t contain anything Scarlet whatsoever). Reward for completing either UW or FoW: one Ascended armor box of your choice.

Update 2: Scarlet opens a rift to the Domain of Anguish. The player is able to stop her in time yet again before she makes her way inside (~10 minute bossfight). She flees. DoA is added as a new permanent dungeon (and doesn’t contain anything Scarlet whatsoever). Reward for completing DoA: one Ascended weapon box of your choice.

Update 3: Scarlet is now seriously fed up with things in Tyria and takes the boat to Cantha. The boat sinks and she dies (this happens off-screen, no need to draw this out any further). Extensive celebrations for her timely demise are held in Cantha, where she burns in a pyre in the middle of Kaineng Center for two weeks straight. Kaineng Center is accessible for those two weeks, as a teaser for the actual Cantha expansion release for late 2014/early 2015.

Update 4: Kitten, I don’t know… Something about dragons, maybe? Don’t want it too sound too far-fetched.

+1 except update 1 should be run away and open a rift to doa kill a thing or 2 buying her time to get on a ship and die letting us access cantha for the next 2 weeks then and the other updates allowing us to learn lore of cantha and the tengu opening their doors : D then yea a ls update for cantha that leads to a release late 2014 early 2015 so on and so forth

If that didn’t matter, Maguuma would be wiping all servers due to our skill level.

You lost all credibility with that statement lol

I don’t agree with maguuma statement but I do agree that WvW is in terms of winning the biggest zerg and the ability to maintain a zerg during off hours wins no question anyone who denies it is lieing to themself and everyone else i mean heck you put mag against some of the rank 10-14 worlds and mag wins because of their numbers (on yaks we refer to you guys as the death ball because you que every bl and zerg ball the map until the week ends) and they usually have a 300k point lead on second place or more

I find that GW2 is more alt friendly than GW1. In GW2 I didn’t have to grind out lightbringer and EOTN faction titles to become efficient in certain skill sets, areas, and hard mode.

Ascended armor is no where close to that level…

It is a +36 total stat difference and a 20-60 armor difference depending on the type. I have 3 other 80s, and in no way do I feel like I NEED ascended right away or feel incomplete from not having it, this is all in peoples heads as any other method other than the most fastest tedious grind becomes unacceptable, and is not a rational reason to change the game. Armor will come to my alts in its own time as long as I just continue to play like I have been, few hours a evening with friends doing group activities as I refuse to farm in this game.

Plus I have a hard time believe all these people that have 8-12 alts that had the time to get them all to level 80 and equip them, all of a sudden are too short on time to play those alts in various areas of the game to get them ascended armor.

After you get pass the 500 craft gate and the laurel gate, unless each toon requires unique stats, you can pretty much mass produce it at that point taking it day by day.

you clearly did not play gw1 it was so alt friends it’s not even funny you claim you NEEDED titles to be efficient that’s not true I was rank 2 or 3 lb doing DoA and doing better than max lb players the titles had very little impact yes they did help a bit but it mostly depended on the players playstyle and knowledge of the area which OMG you did it 1800 times on a dif character and you bring another there you know the roles and you know the mob spawns/locations boom great player. and alts yes it is costly to gear 8-12 I have 11 and it’s not persay hard to level just meaningless i get nothing for doing it there is no trinity system so it’s not like I can roll a nuke and enjoy it for certain aspects or a healer. everything is exactly the same making it a grind after your first couple characters then you have to appeal to your sense of style which adds more grind if you like a dungeon armor or gold grind because you have to buy the armor skin etc. then you have dyes because yea starter dyes suck lord the list goes on and on I have 5 lvl 80s 3 full ascended trinkets others everything exotic and only really play 1 or 2 of them now because there is no diversity

They took over Cantha. They closed the borders. They turned it into a freaking Tyrian North Korea.

My work there is not done. I must go back, and finish what I started 250 years ago, but there’s no boats that will travel there, no asura portals leading there, and for some reason I can’t find any paths leading to the depths of Tyria, and find the tunnel the dredge made all the way to Cantha. It’s as if all paths there had been erased out of existence.

Even if I have to swim there, I’ll go back, and finish my job. I’ll wipe out the Ministry of Purity, retire the imperial line, and turn Cantha into a free people’s republic.

Add me, I’ll swim there with u!

//I missed it so hard. Please bring Canthan back

every one of my gw1 guildmates on gw2 are inactive and we had a 100 strong guild catch them from time to time on gw1 still better than gw2 in every aspect except graphics gw2 got hyped up and I honestly thought it would keep some of it’s gw1 taste and be freaking amazing just more explorable but no it honestly sucks yea you gave us a more interactive environment but even a pretty dog gets ignored if that’s all it can do. I love anet for gw1 not its sibling so much was lost in the transition. BUT anet made great strides in gw1 so maybe just maybe they can save gw2 before it’s just too far gone for me as for you grey statistics 3 million copies from august to january would mean MAJORITY of the game experienced the first wintersday might have just been a miss communication we all have them

Edit: on a side note 999,000 people is a LOT of freaking people notice how almost NO ONE is in explorables just the event area for LS or in LA and having only what 150 people per instance or is it 200? would be a crap ton of instances making it seem not empty when in the broader picture it is

Do away with Soulbound items in favor of account bound items, and you have a point.

And destroy plenty of markets in the process?

No.

explain how that would ruin markets either you get tired of playing that weapon or character/profession and swap it you buy another weapon in its place it’s still bound to you just now you have the option of using it on any of your characters that can you just want to be able to charge all the players without it an arm and a leg like every other person out there I made it to my legendaries but some times I would rather be on my mesmer or guardian with twilight because warrior is undesirable with gs in WvW unless you come across a herd of scrubs.

As much as I want to say they outdid their selves $30 for a semi functional backpack note I have 1 20 slot bag full of mitril 1 20 slot and part of another full of bloodstone dust (legendaries on main so f ascended) another 20 slot full of dragonite and empher whatever bank full of butter apples and bleh cant remember the other crafting item seriously I could see spending $30 for wallet expansion to hold as many of them darn collectibles as we want but to free up 3 extra spaces across about 150 used by about 5 items? not worth it

Edit: ok nerd alert if it’s a personal bank etc for each person and there is magic why can’t it be like in DnD bag of holding that holds unlimited items? hrm hrmmm? 2 characters 128 of 136 slots used(at all times WOOO I get to pick up 8 items YEZZZZZZZZZZZZZ) with a full bank

Probably fix all the features that should have already been in the game.

Yes, please! It’s painful to verify that guilds, the trading post, and other features are still in need of improvement. More than a year later, it’s about time to clean up the house before introducing massive new stuff.

Agreed but I was more or less looking for actual expansion content rather than ring around the rosie or duck duck scarlet! needless to say all of the living story updates imo beat around the bush was only useful for the ap other than that pointless to the game.

if you notice in a video he wasn’t pulling over 14k very often he only hit 15-17k a few times on what he did record most of his where 12- almost 14k with some 8 and 9k backstabs even running full zerk ascended weapons/trinkets war 8 stacks of vulnerability burst skills do bonus damage + dmg with axe/sword/mace in off hand axe skills + crit dmg and chance + dmg based on adren level I’ve seen max 10.4k eviscerate(f1 axe mainhand warrior) maybe I need to throw on food and find a way to snatch 16 or so stacks of might then I can hit that hard but the thief doesnt even need vul…….

5 thieves that hide when they can be beaten by a greater group coming out to flip a camp or ganking smaller groups?

How on earth is this an exploit? Is 5 engineers using grenades and stacking conditions on a target an exploit? Is 5 hammer warriors using the hammer train tactic wherein the enemy in perma stun an exploit? is 5 necroes taking turns casting signet of spite and epidemic an exploit? What of thoe AOE fields cast by 5 elementalists? What of five mesmers using perplexity and clones? 5 warriors rotating using heal on their shouts?

Why is it that thieves are always held to a different standard?

The fact is when ANY class works in conjunction in this manner the dynamics of the game change and the group will be seen as overpowered. It not limited to thieves ambushing. The only difference is the thief can hide but that same thief can not stand in the open like a necro can or a warrior can and expect to survive.

I don’t like your defense of the thief yes the other classes all together 5 v 5 would be devastating but take 5 thieves vs 5 of anything else and they win unless there is MASS aoe or the thieves stack together and get insta downed by a group cleave attack/burst aoe skill that is if you aren’t dropping smoke fields that blind consistently making them really only easily destroyed by mass aoe that doesnt require contact with a weapon

I’d rather fight him again than any dragon……

I am so late catching up on this thread but OMG nostalgia kitten for Kannaxi and his Axe/Maul/Sword(Crennelated Sword) or some junk close to that but Kannaxi was AWESOME could you imagine how much more of the deep that could be explored(I do not want this as a dungeon but more or less a raid room like the tower / mad king maze place but I would say bring back instancing so we can form our teams with guilds/friends and assault the deep for rare and unique rewards.

Honestly I would love to see shiro return and think he can he started at the bottom the first time and made it to envoy I doubt they will EVER let him into that status again but he can rise plus with abbadon taken care of and Kormir(as much as I hate her) as the god he may be able to redeem himself you never know.

I want my Paragon back. They obviously still exist, because Miyani is a Sunspear Paragon.

paragon is just a warrior or guardian with a spear, both can easily buff the party (like a paragon) it’s just a case of dyes and getting spear weapons added.

well spears used for throwing on Terra vs aquatic stabbing I would still love to see the option to beseech Dhuum for power/knowledge I had a strong bond in the torment with my dervish voltaic spear eternal blade dhuums soul reaper and tormented shields/scythe with obby armor haha she lived in the underworld and the Realm of Torment

I agree but I say take us away from Tyria I don’t want any part of it You can add 800 dollars worth of expansions and I’ll buy them over time and play them a bit but only if I get Cantha I can’t stop visualizing the jade sea with how far you have taken being able to explore in gw2(and I was kurzick in gw) never really cared about the city but I would like to see the palace and the Harvest temple but most of all…… Shing Jea Island!!!!!!!

introduce a new heavy class with new weapons which may or may not add another class for each armor grade or may just add more weapon choices to the ones already there however I would honestly think it deserved to receive another heavy with no weapon swap option instead having either like you said different stances or perhaps like the gaurdian instead attuning to lost gods/powerful beings ie Dhuum Shiro Turai and Togo this would possibly allow the use of a pole-arm like a scythe instead of it being a weapon skin being that I’m sure many of us miss the Dervish

Edit: I said Shiro and Dhuum because well Dhuum was the original keeper of the underworld and was overthrown by Grenth. Shiro wasn’t a bad person at first but he did give into pulling this from kingdom hearts the darkness in his heart that made him act as he did because of the fortune teller. Personally I do not think the Emperor would have harmed Shiro but I could be wrong.

The classes that have stealth are incredibly weak compared to others.

Thieves and mesmers only have 2 viable set-ups: pure zerk and pure condi. Both mean the thief/mesmer is low on vitality and toughness, and really easy to kill.

Just to give an example: my zerk thief does ~7k (4-5k on a heavy armour target) with backstab and there’s a delay on backstab because of the Revealed state. On top he only has 13k health. A zerk warrior has easily 20k+ health and does 2-4k per second with axes and can hit easily 7-8k with whirlwind attack on a low armour target.
To top that it also has the best mobility in the whole game: leaps and movement skills both on weapons and utilities, perma swiftness. And lastly it has damage negators on shield and endure pain. Seriously, if one class needs nerf it’s warrior.

There are plenty of other choices than pure zerk and pure condition for mesmers AND thieves…I used to run a tanky/bunker build for my mesmer in PvP, and…it was hilariously awesome.

I know you didn’t state otherwise, but as a mesmer I don’t need to rely on stealth as much as a thief. Mesmers have plenty of disabling skills as their defensive mechanism.

To me, asking a nerf for stealth for all classes, would be like asking to reduce the effectiveness of knockbacks, cripples, blurs, immobilize, and blocks. It would really hurt the mesmer if that happened.

that would hurt more than just the mesmer asking for stealth to get burned alive doesnt hurt anything but the babies that can’t play without it.
