Guild Wars 2

I still think that whoever designed Engineers must have made Colin Johnson mad or something. Every time there is a patch, Engineers get nerfed. Engineers started the game weak, and get beaten into submission as a side thought each patch. It’s like watching an old Looney Toons cartoon where someone gets smashed into a hole, and then pushed down farther… and farther… and farther.

The first couple of patches it was humorous. Now it just feels malicious. Someone has it out for engineers 0_o

What I don’t understand is why, out of the 50+ servers that they have, they couldn’t spare a single server for open world. 49+ servers to be just like it is now, with 1 “omg everyone is out to get me” server to guest to for open world PvP fun.

It would be like a PvP vacation land.

Fractal, sPvP, WvW, Dungeons are only a forth of this game, but still most everyone is focused on these instead of the rest of the game.
This has to change and it is not Anet that has to make these changes. It is the players themselves. Still they focus on old MMORPG models and do not see that this game is not them. It is its own game. That has it own challenges that they ignore daily.
As I have stated before with 26 zones of DEs mostly untouched by the player community it is sad to see them crying for the old ways instead of even making a effort to try the new way.

If you tell a person that they could work one of two jobs- both jobs are relatively interesting, but one will pay minimum wage while the other pays $100 an hour… which do you think they will do?

Instances are being farmed because Arenanet built them to not only be easily farmable, but to give far better loot than the rest of the game. Blaming players for Anet’s decision to funnel the entire playbase into 1 tiny portion of the game isn’t quite appropriate. Why would folks do something unrewarding if they have a rewarding path also available to them… and one that is far easier to accomplish in less time?

What if I told you there will always be an easiest dungeon?

As compared to other dungeons, that’s fine by me. As compared to the ENTIRE GAME? Then I’d tell you that Anet is doing something desperately wrong, or intending to funnel us into 1 tiny portion of their game forever.

Before adding more pets, they need to fix the mechanics of the ones that exist. In particular, necros NEED (not want, NEED) an “attack” button. 1 button (maybe assigned to F2?) that tells all minions on the field “attack this target”. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a zookeeper fighting alone, or maybe with 1 jagged horror helping him, while the rest of his “army” was derping around and frolicking in a nearby flower patch.

Heijincks.9267:

7 months of PvE updates, the PvE players said nothing.

The moment Anet releases PvP updates, the PvE players say PvP is being prioritized.

I have to agree with this. PvE players can be pretty tunnel visioned when it comes to patches. All patches should be about them. And it should always be their particular part of PvP. If a raider sees a patch go by with only a buff to open world content, it doesn’t matter if the past 10 patches were for raiding. Nope, this patch isn’t and therefor the game must hate raiders. It’s painful to watch adults being reduced to small, whimpering children throwing tantrums when they aren’t the full center of attention.

In answer to the OP: GW2 is not a PvP oriented game. The PvP in this game is… meh, at best. As a usually pure PvP player, I simply haven’t been able to bring myself to stick with it in any manner. I get my PvP from other games.

That said, I have 600+ hours of playtime on my account. If this isn’t a PvE game, where DID I put my hours? I’m nowhere near finished with everything PvE has to offer, and all these patches keep adding more.

This, just like most MMOs, is a PvE oriented game with PvP tacked on to the side. And for once… I’m ok with that.

Don’t change COF. Change the rest of the game to match or exceed COF.

I don’t care that someone found a way to make quick cash, but I care that the difference between how much you can make via it and everything else is so great that it is fuxxoring up the economy.

I don’t consider it an exploit, but something needs to be done to curb the damage it is doing. And preferably at a faster rate than the snail’s pace that Arenanet normally handles game breaking bugs.

Lowering resolution helps too.

lol you’re suggesting to lower rez (from only 1080p) in 2013 o.O . I’m not playing on a Dell pc from bestbuy lol lowering rez should NEVER be an option.

Most people still don’t even have a high definition monitor with their PC’s, you do realize this? If your computer can’t handle the resolution, I would say it IS an option :P

If you don’t have a monitor from 2006 (that’s when the vast majority of monitors switched over to being able to support 1080p which, in the modern monitor world, is now an outdated resolution), then you really can’t complain. Having a monitor that is more than 7 years old is pushing the envelope, even from an extremely frugal person’s standpoint.

Step 1) Go to a guild wars 2 item database site and get the chat codes for the items
Step 2) “Ping” a full set of gear you don’t own
Step 3) Tell the little kiddy who demanded said ping to “Go back to WoW”.
Step 4) …
Step 5) All of GW2’s playerbase profits

That is the most kitten nerf I’ve heard of in my entire life. Whoever decided upon that one should really be forced to take a couple of days vacation time, because they have obviously burned out and need a break to get their head back on straight.

Signed,

-Someone who doesn’t play an Elementalist, isn’t planning to play an Elementalist, and still thinks this is the most kitten nerf ever.

If….. you…… use…… periods…… like…… this…… all…… the…… time…… it…… gets…… really…… annoying. Especially since 3 periods are the appropriate amount, not 5/10/20.

That said, anyone who says that using proper punctuation makes someone look “arrogant”, “stupid” or anything else is a grade A idiot in my book. A lack of proper punctuation can make a sentence close to unreadable. It’s already hard enough to read some of the stuff that comes up on the screen, especially w/ u rite lik dis. Lets not compound the issue further.

I couldn’t do GWAMM. I got to 35/50 through my normal play, looked at the HOM and saw that what I would have had to do in order to get 50/50, and “noped” my way off of that website.

Im not sure whether you are suggesting that in game gold should hold no value at some point the character’s lifespan, and thus no longer be worth grinding… or whether RL cash should have a peak point where making any more gemstore purchases with it would give no reward.

Some new looks would be awesome. Surely they haven’t gotten rid of their armor designers! Put them to work maybe new shinies for us!

I think it would help a lot if the chat allowed for better communication between guilds. I was quite excited when I first heard about the multi-guild idea since I thought it would allow me to communicate and socialise with different groups of players who may want separate guilds (in my case, people from my old WoW guild and people from my LOTRO kinship.) I was disappointed to learn that representing one guild effectively shuts you out from any others until you rep them again.

As it turned out one of the guilds never really got off the ground so I rep the other one all the time now. But for me at least, it would be useful if there were a means to follow chat for more than one guild at once so that we could join up with other guilds for bounties and I could join in the server-wide WvW guild without losing out on the social aspect with my primary guild, for example.

Agree 100%. It’s a badly needed feature – there’s absolutely no reason they couldn’t set up separate chat channels for each guild a player was a part of. It can be frustrating to want to play with one group but socialize with both.

This. Chat is the only reason I would represent other guilds. I don’t care about getting influence for it, but I have a small guild made up of RL friends so that we can have a chat channel to talk to each other on. I would represent that guild most of the time just so that I can talk to them.

Tolmos.8395:

I, personally, see no reason why the game world should be required to work on a different ruleset to this one. There are religions that I don’t believe in at all in this world. I’d be perfectly ok with such unbelievable religions existing in the game world, too.

Well, a key difference of the games’ and our worlds religion would certainly be that in tyria, there is lots of proof that the entities in question at least actually exist. There may be dispute about whether they should be worshipped and how, but I would assume that even the fiercest dwayna follower wouldn’t argue that the spirits of the wild just aren’t there.
I don’t know about you, but personally, I’d be a lot more inclined to worship a god if there were a chance to talk to them first. Maybe.

I don’t disagree, though I also still think there is nothing wrong with an in game religion existing that worships a god I will never see. That, to me, is just as true to reality as the idea of a religion worshiping a living god.

Look at it from this way- what about from the perspective of a player who has never played GW1 and never bothered to read up on what happened in it? All they are given is the lore. In that case, would they be as inclined as us to believe in Kormir? I know what she is because I played the story and saw her “ascend” (aka, steal the crap out of Abbadon’s power and run off to be all immortal like). But someone who never played GW1, or read the wiki on it, might say “Kormir was never there. They just made that story up!”. To them, its a religion with a god they will never see or interact with. Yes, that ignorance is their own fault, but it doesn’t change the fact that it is an unbelievable religion to them. In their case, I still see no reason why they would want the religion to not be in the game.

I’m with the majority of the other posters here: if you find a guild that requires 100% representation from non-officers and you aren’t happy with that, you should leave it ASAP. It should be the first question you ask when you arrive. If you don’t intend to make use of the multi-guild system, then that guild is perfect for you. But if you are in the OPs situation and want to have multiple guilds, then you need to avoid 100% represent guilds like the plague.

GuzziHero.2467:

The 6 ‘Gods’ are not gods at all. If they have or had any real physical presence, they are physical, perhaps superphysical, but they are not Gods. Gods are completely supernatural, not bound by laws of physics. Their works may be physical, but they themselves are beyond what we would call structurally defined.

IMO, that’s the incorrect definition of a god. A god is anything that people choose to worship. For all we know, Zeus may have been a real guy at some point, and his legend just grew out of control over time. It makes him no less of a god in his religion. There are modern religions that also revere living gods… in fact, one of those gods was born about 10 years ago or so, if I remember correctly. It was all over the news.

There is no definition to what is required to join the god club besides someone worshiping you. If someone, ANYONE, considers you a god, then you are by definition a god.

GuzziHero.2467:

So no, I have no problem with religion in GW2. Because, the religion present (at least in the human line) is not based upon a supernatural deity which I would struggle to believe in or support, but upon superphysical manifestations which are not Gods at all.

I’m not sure I entirely understand why a religion in game must be believable in order to be acceptable. Such a religion would define who your character is in some ways. If you don’t believe in that religion, then wouldn’t your character be an atheist in a very theistic world? That’s a pretty defining attribute, I’d say.

I, personally, see no reason why the game world should be required to work on a different ruleset to this one. There are religions that I don’t believe in at all in this world. I’d be perfectly ok with such unbelievable religions existing in the game world, too.

As an agnostic (/watches all the atheists in the room cringe at the word =D), I think it’s fine that religion is in the game. Religion holds a MAJOR place in the concepts of anthropology, and it’s difficult for us, as humans, to imagine a civilization that didn’t come across or perceive at least the concept of religion at some point. Religion has been used throughout our own history by civilizations that never came in contact with each other before, or at least hadn’t for millions of years, to describe things that the people of the time simply didn’t have the technology to explain. It seems to be an inherent part of our human makeup, regardless of cultural influences. In a world of magic and steampunk tech, why would these humans/human like people be any different?

Now, for many games the religion is a little different in the fact that the beings they pray to are tangible and can actually be interacted with… or at least you can see their real time effects on the world. The spirits that the norn speak of meddled with people all through GW1. You killed one of the human gods in that game, and spoke to some of the others! So, it is rather incomparable to real life, you know?

tl;dr- It makes sense to me. Whether you believe that the target of a religion exists or not is one thing, but is impossible to deny that religions themselves are an integral part of human history and something that is difficult to avoid in ANY civilization. The lack of it would almost be unrealistic.

Frotee.2634:

The gemstore is meant to provide cosmetics – things which are nice to have but in no way necessary or advantageous to anything readily achievable within the game. Town clothes are perfect for that. (Also, I believe they are most interesting to Roleplayers, anyway.)
Heck, I’m pretty sure we asked for townclothes in the gemshop before release…

I wouldn’t quite say it’s perfect for that, since as cosmetic items it sort of fails. In my experience, the vast majority of players haven’t bothered touching town clothes with the exception of functional costumes like the Mad King (and that’s just because of the costume brawl). The rest are worthless because, unless you are a Roleplayer, you aren’t going to be spending a lot of time in towns or out of combat.

Now, if the cosmetic items could be worn at times beyond just that, it would be perfect for its purpose.

If they would make the town clothing headgear available as a skin that can be worn at all times, I would buy it in a heartbeat. If my character needs glasses, why the crap would he only wear them in town… As a ranged user???

Otherwise town clothing, with the exception of the 1 item I already have, is utterly worthless to me.

Hah that’s awesome

I love stat building games, but they require too much thought for most people. Most folks want their hands held in all aspects if a game, and their character leveling up and getting stronger is just one such aspect.

Chase.8415:

Again, this is a fantastic feature of Guild Wars and I do not wish it to be limited or disabled due to a user error.

How in the world is making an item unique “a fantastic feature of Guild Wars”? I surely read what you typed wrong, because I can’t imagine that is what you mean.

The game has had an endgame since it first released. The endgames just may not suit your particular taste.

Is there an endless gear grind for “vertical progression”? Nope (or at least, I hope that isn’t planned)

Are there 20-40 man raids that take the better part of 6 hours and are the end-all be-all of what you do after max level? Nope. And thank goodness for that.

Is there enough stuff to do that after hitting level 80 at the 50 hours mark that I’ve still managed to put another 650 hours into my character and still be nowhere near done yet? Absolutely. Still trucking and still haven’t come CLOSE to running out of things to do.

Personally, I wish they would give Engineers the ability to use Rifles. And no, we don’t use Rifles now. We use shotguns that they lazily implemented to use a rifle weapon base. But they are shotguns, no matter how you look at it.

An interesting point, although I look at it from the other perspective; shotguns seem better suited to engineers than rifles. So I’d rather we get an interesting shotgun skin to match those skills. That said I think all of our weapons need another pass to make them viable; as right now it seems a lot of engineers, myself included, seem to feel that our base weapons are simply outclassed by our kits in every regard.

Direct damage = flamethrower
Conditions = grenades
Support = Elixir gun
Control = bombs
AoE = also grenades

Really next to kits our weapons are borderline worthless from a practical standpoint.

Very good point. I would love to see a shotgun skin in the game. I’d probably start regularly playing rifle if I did.

I can’t say much on kits. I’ve almost exclusively played my engie and in 700 hours /age I have yet to find a combo of kits I like as much as my turrets + supply drop! <3 my turrets. So I spend a great deal of time using my pistols. lol

Guest over to Tarnished Coast server like everyone else. That’s why you don’t see anyone- they are all on my server clogging the place up. :-P

Seriously, if you are wanting a lot of people you’d do well to do that >_> I’ve never seen a remotely empty portion of land on this server. Anywhere. Ever.

The problem I have with the warriors in the scenario of that speed run is much the issue I have with DPS players in trinity based MMOs who want speed runs.

The mesmer in that situation had almost all of the hard parts that required perfect timing and excellent knowledge of the situation. The warriors were, for the most part, a peanut gallery. Compared to everything the mesmer had to do, their part was a cake walk.

It’s no different, IMO, to a DPS player in a trinity system whining and complaining because the tank lost aggro on a single mob during a full room pull of 20+ npcs or the healer couldn’t keep the tank up in that situation. All they have to do is just follow their rotation mindlessly, so they are the last people I want to hear any kind of criticism from against the people who ARE doing the difficult work in the group.

I don’t mind an elitist healer if I’m the tank or an elitist tank if I’m the healer, but if I’m the only person, or part of a pair out of 5, that is doing all the difficult work, I don’t want a hear a peep from the rest who are have simple jobs that barely require them to look away from whatever TV show they are watching while running.

Mishandia.2087:

Hi, only a simple question : has the server capacity been increased again today?
I see many medium servers today.

Many THX =)

Due to a number of servers approaching full with a recent influx of new players from the sale on Gw2 that just ended, the server capacity was recently increased for a number of servers yes.

You guy should pick 2 or 3 of the heavy population servers, the ones that are ridiculous compared to others (like Tarnished Coast), and start working towards expanding the population of individual zones, as well. It’s awesome that these servers can hold so many people, but less awesome that between the local residents AND guests many of the more popular zones end up in overflow constantly for those servers.

Recycle.5493:

Tolmos.8395:

Other MMO player: “All the servers are Medium now. The game is dying!”
GW Player: “All the servers are Medium now. They must have increased server capacity!”

Devs did stated that server population is only depended on the account number that’s tied to the server, not actual online players. So yeah, if the population display decreased, then they must have increased the capacity, but on the other hand, even if GW2 is dying, we players wouldn’t know.

OH YEA. I forgot about that. Thanks for clarifying that.

Jemmi.6058:

Dungeons should now be soloable and parties should be removed from the game.

If this happened I would spend so much time logged into GW2 that I would probably lose my job.

Heh, I have no clue what the answer to this is but it does amuse me how optimistic GW2 players are compared to other MMOs.

3. If what you say is true, that dailies are the only thing keeping you logging in, then this game isn’t fun for you. Sorry, but you are basing your fun on completing a chore. I would prefer to play games where the activities amount to more than chores.

I dont entirely disagree with you, but on this section I do. If he logs in to play the daily, you would be more proper to say “That doesn’t sound fun to ME” as opposed to “this game isn’t fun for you”. There are people who like chores. There are folks who LOVE cleaning their house. There are guys in my neighborhood that will spend an entire afternoon washing and waxing the same car they washed and waxed yesterday. Me? I look at both of those situations and go “wtf is wrong with you people?” I sit in my comfy computer chair, playing GW2 or some other game.

I don’t disagree that the idea of dailies and especially gear progression are stale. But that said, I personally like dailies and, while I despise it, understand some people like gear progression. To us, these things you don’t like are fun. Yes, they are old concepts. Yes, I’d like to see something new and innovative. But so far, nothing new or innovative exists, so we use what we have.

I like dailies. >_> I don’t like a lot of GW2’s dailies, though. For instance- yesterday’s daily pool was awesome. Today’s, to me, is horrendous and way too time consuming. If my daily takes between 30 min to 1 hour, I’m a happy Tolmos. If it takes 2-3 hours, like today’s took me, then I’m not a happy Tolmos… mainly because that’s pretty much the full play time I have and I usually want to do something else too (like a story step on an alt or something)

Spiral Architect.6540:

The insensitivity in this thread is staggering. Stalkers DO use whatever means they can to “keep tabs” on people, including monitoring game log-ins through friend lists.

To those of you who feel the OP is just being “paranoid,” if you ever got stalked, you’d change your tune — in a hurry.

I would change my account -_-

Some of us have more than 600+ hours logged into our account. Dropping all of that because some someone decides they want to ruin your life isn’t an appealing option when the alternative is simply “Let me log in invisible as opposed to setting myself to invisible 2 seconds after logging in”.

Siphaed.9235:

“Appear Offline” shouldn’t happen in a SOCIAL MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER ONLINE ROLE PLAYING GAME. Want to appear offline? Play Skyrim. I heard that game’s privacy security is so good that you’ll never appear online to anyone every so long as you play it.

Appearing offline already exists in this game, we’re only asking that it be tweaked.

In other MMOs, when you block someone you ‘go offline’ on their friends list.. never to be seen again.

These are not unreasonable requests. Gw2 should have these features.

I miss the old /anon from DaoC or the anon option from STO.

They work just like they should. The invisible in GW2 is a joke at best, flawed beyond comprehension.

I logged on (people on my friends list see x has come online)
I pop invis (people see x has gone offline)
I eventually log for the day (people see x has gone offline, even though I was invis)

Some days you just want to play solo without getting bothered with PMs from friends, guildies and “friends”

IMO Siphaed has no clue what hes talking about. Anon features is a fundamental thing in every good MMO, game with multiplayer features or those that use social 3rd party matchmaking programs (Steam, Origin etc).

GW2s social anon feature is probably the worst implemented I’ve seen since I started MMOing.

This would be the situation that most people face. Their parents or some friend just put together a slideshow of their cat’s first hairball and want to show it off. You don’t want to hurt their feelings so you say “No no, I’m busy right now. Sounds awesome though!”. Then you realize “holy crap, they (or someone they know) plays GW2. If I log on, they’ll know I have free time! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

While not life threatening, it’s far more annoying than it should be and than any other game that doesn’t have such an… odd friends list would make it.

hmm. If you had such a violent relationship and have a person tracking you on real life how about you just pick up a new copy of Guild Wars 2, that it’s likely you will do. I don’t see the problem.

A) Because that is unnecessary when GW2 is a tweak away from fixing the problem and one of the only MMOs available that actively ENABLES stalking. That’s even assuming she has the 50 dollars to throw away on a pointless venture C) So your suggestion is that she give up everything in her character that she’s worked on just so that stalking can continue to be easy in the game?

Mirta.5029:

Not to mention police should know about it and you should have some security at your place. Otherwise the person could just as well wait for you to go back from work at your door step just as efficiently.

The police knowing about it doesn’t change that there is danger. And not everyone who has trouble with another person and has their personal welfare endangered suddenly grows a money tree in the backyard with which to fund security systems, new copies of GW2 and whatever else.

Mirta.5029:

You could also be logging and playing on your account from a different location, like for example your friend’s house.

Or she could be home. And him knowing that puts her in danger.

I’m pretty sure that a) he wouldn’t bother checking GW2 for her and just stalk her house and beat her to death there (so much simpler) b) she would have changed the place she lives in and WOULD buy a new copy.
Nice for you to invent an illogical situation just to support your own argument.

You’re trying to downplay a very real possibility, due to your own insensitivity, by trying to say that it is “unlikely”. Shall we just go a step farther and say “It’s unlikely he’d even stalk her since that isn’t normal, so stalking doesn’t exist”? Sounds legit to me!

Stalkers aren’t some mythical monster with no other whims or desires. They dont sit around all day thinking “stalk stalk stalk stalk” and then when the opportunity appears, they strike. They do have other things they enjoy doing, and if they happen to play GW2 they will very likely be on it at some point. If that happens to be the same time the person they are stalking logs on? Welp, sucks to be them.

nekitten234:

Tolmos.8395:

Who cares about your character? They can see that you are on GW2 and effectively know exactly what you are doing at that moment. That also gives them a pretty solid guess of where your current physical location is at.

Only if one knows you personally and a top of that knows your IGN. It’s your own responsibility if one you don’t want get’s a hold on your personal identifying info.

So basically it comes down to: “If someone you know snaps and is stalking you, you’re screwed because no game company should ever implement any features that could possibly help someone maintain personal privacy or security”?

That’s a bit… extreme. When the fix is to simple add a single option to be able to out invisible, instead of switching to invisible after logging in.

ZenonSeth.5739:

What I’m talking about is the harassment not of you per-se, but that of your digital character in a virtual world where the person stalking you has absolutely no means of obtaining your personal information (or they shouldn’t if ANet has done their job which I believe they have), or harming you (or your character) in any way.

Who cares about your character? They can see that you are on GW2 and effectively know exactly what you are doing at that moment. That also gives them a pretty solid guess of where your current physical location is at.

A girl who plays GW2 with a violent ex-bf who plays GW2 and is stalking her and trying to catch her when she is home will likely be getting a knock on the door not long after she logs on. The only option atm is for her to just not log on, losing yet 1 more thing in her life she enjoys because the current system favors the stalker.

Now, with my previous post said… the “Creepy Stalker Feature” of GW2’s friends list did help me catch a hacker the other day. I had been away for a long time, as had my roommate. So I log on to GW2 and saw my roommate online… which I knew was wrong. Even more wrong? The account he had barely ever played, maxing out at level 16 on an engineer, was running CM on a level 80 warrior with a name made up of gibberish.

Just to be sure, I called him and sure enough it wasn’t him. We immediately got the account back.

So that said, I could go either way. On one hand, it would be nice if they made it a little harder for folks to stalk you. On the other hand, leaving things the way they are lets me stalk hackers =D

Have laurels really been out that long? Or is it possible to get more than 1 laurel per day?

They are part of the Orr karma set. I got the Rubikon ones, but they go by several names. You buy em in the Orr temples at level 80

But I rerolled also partly because I like the light heritage armour :>

You can get as many racoons as you want >_> I have one on every one of my toons =D

Ok, so… I’ve been slowly coming out of my 5 month hiatus, and noticed something different about my turrets.

Whenever I go AFK out in the field, I drop all my turrets around me to keep me safe. Usually unnecessary, since I make sure to afk away from anyone that might want to do terrible things to me, but it makes me feel better. Anyhow, I did it again today (for the first time since my hiatus), came back 10 minutes later and my turrets were gone >_>. Combat log was empty and my character was still sitting, so they weren’t destroyed by a roaming monster.

I used to do this for up to 15-20 minutes without issue. Did they nerf the duration of turrets at some point? It’s not a big deal, I suppose, but it made me feel all safe whenever I had to walk away from the computer >_>
