Guild Wars 2

Yeah. Now that the games been out for 2 months, let’s start adding things for CE buyers…………No.

If a dev said that it goes live at 12 am US time then he’s obviously wrong as there is no US time.

Also, Facebook only says “later this afternoon” and since the world is on a 24 hour cycle, it will be afternoon SOMEWHERE when it goes live. It’s not false advertisement because the world doesn’t revolve around your timezone.

It’s not a tax. It’s a broker fee. You are a producer who doesn’t have time to run a wholesaler or contact the consumer directly (which you actually can do with chat mind you). So you pay a guy 5% of the price to store the item in a warehouse and look for customers. If he sells the item, he gets 10% for commission. This is how an actual economy works. If you want the consumer to pay that 15% then you have to raise the price.

Killed all three dragons yesterday (teq and jor I did twice) Timer was pretty accurate. Not seeing the problem.

Lol. This is why spidey isn’t a source you should take at face value. Someone posted that item on the TP for an outrageous price, which caused the average posting price, which is what spidey tracks, to skyrocket. When that item was taken off, or sold, the average price dropped back down.

From what I recall from GW1, there were no crafting recipes added during Halloween. The items you could get weren’t even sellable. The people doing these speculations come from other games that did add new crafting items for festivals or a just trying to scam people into inflating the price so they can make money. My advice, farm the tar out of everything people are speculating on, put it up on the trading post 2 days before the event starts, and rake in all the gold.

Just place a macro into the game that if you list something where, after the tax the amount of copper you get is less than or equal to vendor, the game just buys it at vendor price immediately.

Oh it will. GW1 had tons of awesome content with the Mad King Thorn. He would tell these really bad jokes, and if nearby players didn’t use the /laugh emote he would instantly kill them and laugh. You could also play paper rock scissors with him. If you won or tied, you got a prize. If you lost, you died. Sometimes, he would rez you just to kill you again. It’s going to be a blast.

GW2 is about doing content. Having to go all the way back to town to unload your collectables and junk takes you out of the content. It’s a big reason why the game is the way it is.

Then Anet should add more vendors. That would solve the problem.

There’s already plenty of vendors on each map. Hasn’t solved the “problem” yet.

For $4 you can get 10 gold, possibly hacked and have all your gold and items stolen, and/or have your account banned costing you your time and $60 investment into the game.

Umm….no one said anything about horde and alliance….except you.

LoreChief.8391

Pretty much what they said. What you’re suggesting is creating a horde counterpart of the alliance

Please read more intently TheUnNamedHero.

As far as the rest of the feedback from the idea, I get that the majority of players want to be the “hero” in this demographic. I have seen this in other responses on posts about how they enjoyed the story line until they lost focus and Trehern became the marshal of the Pact instead of you.

So that said it does not seem like anyone IS interested in expanding the idea of conflict and WvWvW other than it is there for the sake of being there. I personally really feel that having objectives and meaning behind “why” we are fighting make something more immersive and it also helps carry forward from story line game play into competitive goal oriented WvWvW combat.

Yes this would make a good chunk of the world unaccessible for any “evil” races and no this would not be easy to create or implement as it stands now.

I think if I would have posted this in another section it might have gained more ground say the pvp forums where a lot of players talk about eSports and how to make this game competitive.

Regardless, failed idea and as many of you point out won’t happen and no support, but I don’t think it is a bad idea that would have negative impact for the game, just not an easy addition is all.

Ah. Didn’t see that one. My apologies.

As for the eSports thing, you don’t need story elements like good vs evil for people to latch onto it. As soon as something gets on eSports, it takes off regardless of story elements.

Won’t work. High gold value items, like commander status, precursor weapons, gems, are easier to purchase when your friends are helping you. If you can’t send people gold, it just takes longer to get those kinds of items.

You type your country not your state.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

1. just buy him the armor and dyes and mail him those. edit or use the guild vault to send him what he wants.

2. Yes you should try to think before posting, better luck next time

1. Yeah. You can just purchase those gems and commander’s compendiums for your friend and mail them to him. Oh wait. Those things are soulbound as soon as you buy them so you can’t mail them. Or hey. Why just send you friend a few gold to help out for the precursor weapon when you should just drop a few hundred and buy it for him.

2. So all the friends you make in GW2 are now supposed to leave their guild to join yours?

3. Perhaps before you attack people for not thinking before posting, you should first make sure that you yourself are actually thinking.

Agree with hard mode. Much of the group content can easily be done with a random pickup group that doesn’t need to even communicate with each other.

PvP balance issues.

And what about this one?

Belmont i got one even nicer than that
it was of one of my 1st servers after launch

“Those dirty blues.”

Try using a build like this.

It’s very easy to handle a dozen mobs in certain situations as long as you use good kitting and situational awareness.

Like….. stuff from loot bags.

Agreed, but usually when people are missing something for WC it’s usually something from a small instance zone not tied to any map.

Go on an achievement grind…..or, to restate Anet’s answer that they’ve been stating since before the game launched “go a play something else and come back when there’s more content to play”. SWToR is going f2p soon. Give it a try. It’s leveling content is really good. Rest of the game…..not so much.

Large guilds generally come from another game where the guild was already established and just add other players they meet along the way.

You do realize that a major problem in WvW right now is that players form into groups so massive that the game can’t load them all on the screen. Until that is fixed, any change to encourage larger groups is not very beneficial.

They cost money in GW1 so most likely.

urzen.7096:

I assume the world list must be based on accounts rather than activity, as there is no way these servers are always full of active players. I too am having trouble finding anyone in many zones, which makes the game kind of boring, and not massive or multiplayer for much of the day.

Unfortunatley, MMO devs are afraid to publish sub numbers or concurent players (except EVE).

You assume incorrectly. Check again during off peak hours and you’ll see a huge dip in the list. This is how players can transfer over to a full server. Your argument is based entirely on subjective experience. If you’re not within the populations level curve, then you won’t see anyone. If you’re on a big sPvP server and you PvE then you won’t see anyone. If you’re on a big WvW server and you’re not doing WvW then you won’t see anyone. Believe it or not, there is more than one factor at work here.

CMF.5461:

As far as the horde and alliance attachment, honestly I was connecting it to EQ2 with the good/evil/neutral groups of character races that players could be. There was even a quest that let you change factions, but it was long and tedious.

Umm….no one said anything about horde and alliance….except you.

No ssd and loading times go by rather quickly. Your end buddy.

Sorrow’s Embrace. Path 1 and 3 are so easy to cheese your way through.

Instead of a random DF, how about a lobby list of players that have flagged themselves as lf that dungeon. That way, you can message them directly instead of spamming chat. However, it shouldn’t be just a list of names. It should also include how many times you’ve been grouped with that particular player and how many of those groupings were completed, i.e. they didn’t bail if a certain item didn’t drop. This allows you to build a group of people you already know without the risk of turning people into dungeon bots. It should also include an option to write a quick review of that player that only you see, so if they were a jerk or not helpful you could leave a note and pass them for the next person.

Timbersword.9014:

Vees.7816:

If I’m pulling a bunch of mobs to my party in a dungeon, I’d like to shoot my bow while I’m leading them without being bent over.

Is running backwards a bad thing in general?

Apply this strategy to an encounter of the player versus player variety.

Hint: It’d get annoying for melee really quick.

So much this. If you’ve ever played a single player RPG that has ranged classes, back peddling is the easiest way to deal with melee fighters. Some games even allow you to run backwards just as fast as running forwards, which means melee enemies would never hit you. It’s the quickest way to break pvp.

What you’re asking for IS AN ENTIRE SECOND FREAKING GAME!!!!!!!!! Every game that has opposing factions, which is what you’re suggesting really, has almost double the content, and since GW2 doesn’t have any real neutral factions, there would be no quests or areas that cross over. It would take an entire second game. Never…..going…….to happen.

Best possible solution I can think of:

Instead of a random DF, make a lobby list like someone already mentioned. However, it shouldn’t be just a list of names. It should also include how many times you’ve been grouped with that particular player and how many of those groupings were completed, i.e. they didn’t bail if a certain item didn’t drop. This allows you to build a group of people you already know. It should also include an option to write a quick review of that player that only you see, so if they were a jerk or not helpful you could leave a note and pass them for the next person.

It’s sad that vita users, myself being one, are doing more to improve the vita then sony is.

None. They are all perfectly balanced

Please don’t nerf my profession.

It’s true. It cost money to change based on crafting level. 40 silver at max level. It’s really not worth it tbh. If you have the crafting materials to get to 400 then you could just make an alt with a different crafting profession and get the same results but with a second character at level 20 right off the bat if you max 2 professions.

And for people who WANT tab to target neutrals and have multi target attacks hit them so that they can get those wonderful fine crafting materials that they drop all the easier….

Then like I said, at least have it prioritize red-named hostiles over the yellows, so we can kill what’s trying to kill US first, THEN let it target neutrals. Sorry, but in the heat of battle, targeting acuity comes before crafting materials every time.

Also like Aliette’s idea- bouncing shots have tipped odds against me on several occasions. In fact, several good ideas here. Keep up the good input!

You know how you solve that problem? Situational awareness. Don’t want to attack neutrals? Pay attention to what you’re targeting. Don’t want to multi-hit neutrals? Don’t use those abilities in range of them. What you’re describing is not a problem with the game’s mechanics; it’s a problem with player micro. You are fully capable of solving that problem yourself.

And for people who WANT tab to target neutrals and have multi target attacks hit them so that they can get those wonderful fine crafting materials that they drop all the easier….

If you would of read the CoC that you agreed to, you would already know the answer to this.

Do not engage in personal attacks against forum members or in character assassination. Posts that attack another member, that single out a player for ridicule, or that accuse someone of inappropriate in-game actions will be removed without notice. In-game violations should be reported directly to our Support Team. If you believe that using the support system did not result in a sufficient or timely response, you may post your concern in the Support section of the forums.

Ah, the most common lie ever told: I have read and agree to the terms of service.

It’s $3.42 for 1 gold right now.

I thought the main point of it was a money sink as actual commanders play WvW with their guilds who already know who the leaders are and the pugs usually just follow large groups anyway.

Use the /cybermen command.

Stop blowing your cash on gear for one. Impulse buying is the quickest way to go broke in both life and in game. Learn the economics of supply and demand and play the TH. There’s always good money to be made there.

1st, there a far more botters out there that don’t use random letters as their name. it’s a dead give away. And 2nd, what about legit players that place 1000s of TP orders a week or even per day? Playing the market and flipping resources is how a lot of smart players make cash. For instance, I know several people that when it was announced that you would be able insert butter into the mystic forge and get special items, bought up 1000s of units of butter, then sold it at a higher price when the patch went live to people who wanted to try it out. Your system would make them look like a gold farming bot when they aren’t. They just understand the economics of supply and demand.

CrimsonOmen.7865:

@xenkaidos That couldn’t be more of a hypocritical wall of text if you tried. You first stay how, and I’m just going to sum your generalization into another one, how people who actually want more of an end game are elitists, obsessive, obligated, demanding, childish, etc, yet you then go and say how “account bound” achievements are the biggest issue to you? Give me a break. Please focus on important issues as account bound achievements are the least of anyones worries right now.

Calling someone hypocritical for using a generalization followed immediately with your own generalization makes you….oh yeah. A hypocrite.

Seraki.2753:

Sounds like the OP wants the gear grind [sometimes called “progression”], problem is it would fly in the face of many promises Anet made about the game being different before launch.

Sounds like? Once again, for like the 4th time. I’m not bringing an solution, im adressing an issue.

And once again, it is not an issue unless you drag typical MMO progression mindsets here.

AXEL.8362:

Im sorry for Quebec and your laws but I can assure the rest of the world does not have any issue or law against this. Is just being lazy. I live in Argentina and there is not a single law against it. Dont try to justify what cannot be justified. Again, Im sorry for you if the law doesnt allow it.

Holy hasty generalization fallacy Batman.

100 gems costs $1.25. How is this “obscured”?

Also, what Mithran said.

penatbater.4710:

it’s classic and it works… for some people, not for all, sadly. They explicitly said their endgame is a horizontal not vertical progression, so I’m dumbfounded as to why people are even asking such from a game that from the get-go, said it didn’t wanna be like those games.

I don’t think you’re understanding what the issue is, people are getting bored. I’m not refering to wow gameplay, not at all. (Or atleast I didn’t wanted to put up that feeling)

Something has to change, im adressing an issue, im not bringing a solution here

Subjectivism =/= fact. If you had actual population statistics to back up that claim, then fine. But you don’t. Your argument is highly fallacious.
