Guild Wars 2

Even if it is the best gear in the game it is still optional. I am fine with this type of “grind”.
It could be considered p2w if gear is available ONLY in the gems store.

Anet prob should just add “Daily login” daily. It would give you 10 ap and all rewards from all the dailys lol.

You think that main reason why people buy path is because they can’t finish them. In reality path selling is so popular because it gives you a lot of experience and dungeon tokens.

You are saying like adding raids or ANYTHING that requires guild level of organization will remove all your precious zerging.

mercury ranique.2170:

As for your preference for group instance content. In my opninion that is not what an MMO is all bout. I know many MMO’s have it as a core component of their end game. But goes against the actual concept of an MMO (massive multiplayer online)

Raids and dungeons are added to keep people interested in the game. Btw they were parts of all pve mmos since the beginning so yeah. It is another game mode not a replacement of openworld.

First time playing a human huh? :P This are human racial elite skills.

NovaanVerdiano.6174:

Didn’t participate, but I heard condition cap got increased/lifted? Is that true or did someone try to fool me?

Some conditions got their cap increased to 100 in the last stress test. Dunno about this one.

Yeah it will be hard. For about a week or two.

More like zerg focused. Tag following simulator 2015.

Muusic.2967:

If you delete your beta toon and start over you will not be able to get back into beta. This has happened to myself and 4 guildies who decided to try different classes.

You can make a second toon, but it will forever hang up on map load into SW to start the first storyline.

Game probably tries to load you on dead server. This happens a lot lately.

PlatinumMember.5274:

TheRandomGuy.7246 getting mad at those defender (which I guess I fall under) isn’t going to change a kitten thing. So there is that as well.

I am not mad at all. Whole this situation is kinda funny and sad at the same time.

Fernling.1729:

TheRandomGuy.7246:

They can’t add gearscore because there is no gear progression.

of course there is.. What do you think the blue, yellow, orange and pink font means? Blue, and yellow are largely irrelevant considering the ease of obtaining exotic, but progressing from exotic to ascended is easy task.

I have close to a thousand hours logged and haven’t even finished a complete armor set of ascended.

2 tiers of gear (1 of them is just an overpriced gimmick that offers almost no advatage) is not enough to create any kind of gearscore system.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

Hour and a half in… still not a peep from any dev… Isn’t this why this test was in the middle of the week during work hours? To address any issues that arose?

We need to summon all weekday defenders so they can explain this \o/

They can’t add gearscore because there is no gear progression.

aophts.9862:

people with more than 2k gold

My god, how? Literally how do you gain so much gold?

When you got all what you want (for me it was 2 legendaries, ascended/exotic gear on all characters and permanent bank access contract) gold will start pilling up very quickly. I started playing TP to keep it low. Don’t like too much gold in my wallet.

Probably not started yet.

For dueling anet will have to balance classes for 1v1 combat so I doubt it will be released anytime soon.
Inspect option would be great time saver. Ability to detect leechers and liars before first boss “trial” would save a lot of time. So it is very unlikely that we will ever see this feature because gw2 is leech friendly.

Isn’t it their new goal to shoehorn as much pve in to wvw as possible?

My collection of fractal swords. ._.

Aleksander Suburb.4287:

we need a mechanic, that nobody can spawn items within the radius of another item/chest.

This. 120 radius should be enough.

At the moment full berserker guardian with GS Sword/Focus build aka “meta” has 0 healing power.

Woljnir.7810:

Honestly, nobody is going to buy those. CM, possibly, but nowadays with stacking it’s not nearly as hard as it was. AC definitely not. Anybody needing to buy AC needs to /uninstall, it’s quick and not hard at all even with a newbie group.

People buy AC like crazy. Party fills almost instantly. CM is only a bit slower.

Centurion.7296:

Can any Anet employee that goes through the forums answer me this?

Is PvP and WvW getting the short straw compared to PvE?
(I already know he answer, just want to hear what excuse you guys can come up with)

Hey! At least they got a chance to draw a straw. Dungeons were not even invited to the party.

“Please click following link to validate.” Is the best part of this messages.

Direct stat nerf probably will not happen. Maybe they will add content that will be hard with full berserker gear, but i guarantee that in few months people will learn how to do it in full glass-cannon.
I think that “meta” in new content will be tied to combat masteries rather than gear. Mordremoth’s Bane, Exalted Honing and Wyvern Defiance already kinda show that.
We probably will see a lot “zerker | X mastery points in Y lines” LFGs in HoT IF instanced dungeon-like content will be a thing. If no than there will be no pve meta in new locations at all and in old dungeons things will remain mostly the same.

So thaaaaaats why i can’t check what mobs are next in Timegate fractal….

Word “meta” is so 2014. Now people use “metazerk”.

What is with this fgs killing? Some kind of trolling or anet implemented “fgs oneshot” mechanic with one of their last patches?

Nidome.1365:

Wallace MacBix.2089:

Well I was a little shocked when they said that the avg WvW level was ~300.

Well, anyone who has never been to WvW will have zero ranks, and anyone who went there solely for the purpose of map completion under the old map completion rules would have a very low WvW rank, and that is just a start.
I have been told that there are people out there who buy secondary, tertiary etc. accounts when they are on a special offer price, set them up on servers which they face in WvW on a regular basis and then only visit WvW on the characters on those accounts when they have a machup against those in order to spy and troll. If such accounts do exist then they would also have a low WvW rank.
In addition to that you have players who went inactive before getting many (if any) WvW ranks as they were not an original feature of the game.
And on top of those you also have the people who have done brief forays into EotM to pick up the “cheap” APs.
I’m sure to have missed a number of reasons why people have low of no WvW ranks.

So taking all of that into account I am surprised that it is even 300, however average WvW rank is a meaningless value unless Anet found a way of only including legitimate active WvW players in their average and excluding the examples I gave above.

Kitten like this is one of the reasons why we got NPE’d.

wizzard.1295:

yes, cuz the name has everything to do with GvG ….
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/The_Guild_Wars

Worst excuse ever made to not have guild wars in guild wars.

They abandoned underwater combat loooooong ago so i doubt it. For air fights you need something to fly on so probably no too.

Very old engine combined with dx 9.

“Challenging group content” coming SOON. No one know what it is though.

MauricioCezar.2673:

I just noticed that there is a “hole” lorewise into the timing of LA rebuild.

As far as we were told, we are “Frozen” in time from the end of Season 2 until the launch of the expansion, since the expansion is set right after the end of the last chapter of season 2 .

So, if we are Frozen in time, how does one city get completely rebuilt in beween those 2 points of the lore? (End of last chapter/Start up of expansion).

Well, I am not that sort of nerd into the universe of tyria, but still, i found quite interesting how this don’t make sense at all x)

EDIT: Anet, please get rid of all those cats. Since when “Hole” is a censured word? “Hole” =/= Kitten.

A wizard did it.

I am pve player and I only do pvp dailys. It takes around 10 minutes to do them all on a rankfarm server. And you get 6 reward track potions for doing them. You can use potions to get free transmuation charges or leveling tomes or even champ bags. All this for 10 minutes of same brainless running and spamming skills just like in openworld.
OK. Maybe you hate that too and 10 minutes of brainless pvp will kill you. Level 1 swamp takes less effort and skill than killing any legendary in silverwastes.
IF you can’t do that too there is always some wvw achievement like “spend 25 badges” or “cap a rune”. Takes absolutely no time and is extremely easy.
If this 3 things are too hard or you hate them so much (3 out of 3 gw2 game modes) that you will instantly die… I have no idea how are you still alive.

If it is not a bug it needs some tweaking. Or an official statement that it is not broken. C’mon anet! Stop being so vague about changes.

You can’t join US party in any instance if you play on EU server. If you can see them in lfg it is probably another bug.

Jabberwock.5987:

This wans’t covered in the FAQ so I’ll ask here.
Also, Why isn’t this added to the vanilla as an update?

You can play base game without expansion.
Because devs want money.

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

I’m glad that we will be able to craft precursors. I just wish that crafting in GW2 wasn’t so boring. It feels so unrewarding.

You level up crafting to get ability to craft high level stuff. What else do you want.

Lendruil.9061:

Quick update for the thaumanova bug, we got it again (gg) and it crashed again, but if at least 1 person doesn’t close the error message, this person is still in the fractal even if the client has crashed. This means, that the rest of the party can reenter the fractal after they restarted their game.

Wait what? Is this for real? Killing a skritt crashes whole party? kitten.

Dietere.3476:

I’m wondering if the bomb path on the dredge fractal is affected by this. With the way it works now, a large stack of stealth is really the only way to complete that part of the fractal. Not that having a bugged fractal means anything will be fixed, but I’m just curious how many other aspects of gameplay will be affected by this?

How about Caithe’s skills in the Living World missions?

Dunno about bomb path stealth but all stealth from skills is bugged. That means every game mode is affected by this.

Molten Furnace Fractal: Door moved again. This time with the boss. It is still a safespot tho. Fire goes right through you. Only had to dodge last 2 tornadoes that spawn at that spot.
Cliffside Fractal: When Archi drops his hammer at the start it disappeared at pickup. Party wipe fixed it.
Mai Trin still cross-eyed. Her shots still can miss and she will teleport to the other side of the room.

lordkrall.7241:

Garambola.2461:

What I fear is that it is: “Yay! Closed Beta next week.” And nothing more.

But what would a ReadyUp have to say about Closed Beta? “Yay, Closed beta!” ?

“Yay, Closed beta! Lets do a recap of what we know so far.”

aophts.9862:

No, it needs easy stuff actually, some dungeons paths and FotM are too kitten

ly hard fractal i can think of is volcanic one. Oh and maitrin with mesmer or f1 spamming guardian.

creepmatic.9435:

I’m talking about players with lots of AP’s and several legendaries so you can’t say they are new to the game.

They are not new but AP and legendaries are not skill based rewards. Game is not pushing players to be better too so 9000k AP guy with all legendaries in the game and absolutely no experience is pretty common sight.

Can someone check if ctrl+c is working here? I can’t copy anything on this forum for some reason.

If they keep us entertained throughout, I see no problem with it taking 12 years to defeat all the dragons.

The problem is that they are definitely not keeping me entertained… at all.

12 years of starving for content?

No thanks.

You can’t please everyone.

But Tera online can

He should go play Tera online then. The problem here isn’t the game, it’s the people who think the game should fit their exact needs.

…or maybe I should play the sequel to the original Guild Wars (if it only existed) and not this sorry excuse for a money grabbing cash cow of a MMO we call Guild Wars 2.

No, it really sounds like you should get some sense and stop purposefully expose yourself to something that you obviously can’t stand. If the game doesn’t fit you as a player, don’t throw time/money at it expecting it to change. That’s not a realistic approach.

Do you think I even have a reason to log into Gw2 any more?

I haven’t done so in months.

Its just disappointing to see something you spent so much of your time on go completely belly-up…. and then still refuse to give up.

I liked Gw2 at the start, but only because I forced myself to like it.

I refused to accept the fact that all my preparation was completely wasted on a game that I didn’t like.

It took me a long time to come to grips with it, (i kept thinking things were going to get better) but I’ve long since gotten over it.

Guild Wars 2 is not something I support any more.

But you spend time coming to the forums. Total waste of time if you ask me.

Obviously there are people here who do like it. You don’t. Shrugs. Why leave a game and then come back to complain about walking away from it? Seems to me that that that’s neither constructive, nor particularly helpful even to you.

Hope you find a game you do like. Some of us still like this one.

I feel that if I get enough people to gather up the pitchforks then Anet might actually start caring about their playerbase instead of the dollar signs.

Gw2 target audience could not care less about game problems. I doubt you will find enough people to do anything more than another “this won’t end well” thread.

If you are in EU then it is normal to have unplayable lag from time to time. It should fix itself in a few minutes/hours.

IndigoSundown.5419:

The game didn’t finish launching until the China release last year, so it’s only been one year plus for the expansion.

This.

RSLongK.8961:

Endure Pain.

Ewwww.

RSLongK.8961:

And if you have some competent guard in the party you may even get some aegis.

This. And few dodges ofc.

Even if there is easy and fast way to get a lot of points you will still have to wait for anet to fix HoM bug.
