Guild Wars 2

As a part of the hatred I feel for the megaserver I take care to not look at people. I’d use the low setting that makes everyone a placeholder but I want to see my own characters on all my screens.

But I can’t say that I remember paying much attention to others before megaserver either.

I quite enjoy GW, I like the combat (ritualist)…
I still love the festivals and outside of those I do some random things. Try collecting traveler items, get Zaishen bounties or missions, farm something, or sort my item collections or whatever.

I don’t like any too difficult stuff though so I haven’t even beaten most of the game. I just wander around.

I hate the NPE, the level gating it brought. Restrictions. Hand holding.

I hated all the trait system shuffling and I don’t like the current version at all.

I despise the megaserver.

I don’t like the wallet.
I don’t like the miniature system as miniatures just don’t look so good that I would like to see them around and now people don’t even have to do anything, and it took the storage system away. They were precious to me, hate to see them destroyed for this.
I hate the loss of town clothes since I loved the combinations, and I really hate losing items. I dread further systems of similar lines.
The wardrobe has its annoyances, I don’t appreciate I don’t get to avoid adding trash things I don’t want unless I put them on inventory of a character I delete. I did this to the free outfits given to veterans too, I really hate the outfit system thanks to town clothes. I haven’t done any “normal” playing for ages so I haven’t actually even had this scenario, but I can’t imagine opening random boxes with random items I don’t want and will have to get rid of “neatly”. The log in reward exotic (I think?) box I delete unopened because I am scared of it ruining my accounts. With scepters, or worse.
Account wide dyes I liked, but wild unidentifieds had to completely go for that? Really? (I don’t care about the stated reasons)

I don’t like the permanent gathering tools or salvage kits (The fee! Horror!), but those I can avoid. It does somewhat annoy me that they exist though. It’s slightly similar to my thoughts of miniatures.

I don’t like Lion’s Arch.

I don’t like the expansion with its systems that feel like tacked on instead of better working with existing systems. Meaning masteries and the new spec… things I seem to forget the name/word for. It looks ugly to me.

I don’t like that I can’t trust things to be stable and safe.

Character creation. Really liked sylvari and female humans. Charr and asura were great too.

I just want character slots… I loathe to give money to ArenaNet, but if a character slot was 2 or 3 € I might get a bunch. I clearly don’t have enough ritualists yet. :/
There’s some other shop stuff I have been wanting to get, but the prices feel very steep these days.

Noooooo. I guess I’ll just wait until next wintersday to see if they return?
/stores gifts away

I don’t even use them because they are ori tools and so too valuable to use, and I don’t gather ori, and I wanted them to gather correct tier snowflakes anyway…
But I liked them! ._.

something about welcoming the new overlord

I would revert many things back the way they were and build from that. Megaservers gone, daily achievement to an older version, NPE removed, town clothes functionality returned, magic find I’m not sure but not THIS…
I bet I’m forgetting a lot of things.

And this current miniature wardrobe thing would get nuked, nuked, NUKED.
(I really hate it)

I don’t appreciate ArenaNet’s recent work at all. I could go and lump together everything done post launch, I might be exaggerating but it would not be too inaccurate. The main problem keyword is this progression which has gotten mentioned few times as reason for things.

The expansion has little to do with my thoughts, other than witnessing the horror that is the direction they are going, and I guess where they were already going earlier.

It hurts because I used to love this game at some point, and at that point it was quite different. And because of that I hate ArenaNet for every decision they have made.

Expansion spoilers:
Always loved Trahearne.

I’m never going to be happy again.

I’m not happy and I’m never going to be happy again.

Loved him.

:(

Ginora and Zalani, I feel the same.

It hurts so incredibly much.

Their progression drove me away long before the expansion so I did not of course get it.

Reading all this stuff now has been very interesting. :/

I’m scared.

;_;

I’m scared. ;_;

…Also I wasn’t quite done with inventory sorting and wasn’t on the correct characters. Well I was at least mostly there. Next step: Clock tower! Once I’m done updating, in the next… (looks at slow download) few… hours?

I generally only need one or two bags free so I’m often storing something with these. Usually their own stuff, right now they are holding this armor that is to be processed tomorrow (since I use their inventories to sort my vault), and candy corn, not long now…!

I keep the inventory as 4×5 grid (sometimes 4×4), window sized so that one bag is visible, in the first one I keep gathering tools if I’m gathering, I switch those basing on node. Airship pass can be found by clicking a bag icon, it’s usually kept in the last one though. Now I needed the invisible bags for the candy.

I don’t do anything, I don’t need room for loot.

The last few items usually never leave my inventory.

I don’t ever want to buy anything from Arenanet again. I can’t stand anything they have been doing recently. As for the game and the expansion itself I have gotten disconnected about all the details. It’s a weird situation of the current state of the game not really existing to me, I’m just dwelling in my memories from when I loved this game.

While sulking and complaining about everything I have been grinding like crazy for gold for some character remakes I wanted. And there’s the clock tower, soon. After that, I don’t really know what I will be doing, until the next halloween (as Guild Wars is what truly introduced halloween to me ;_;).
Logging in to admire my characters sometimes I guess.

For hiding away it’s instances. Sylvari and charr home instances especially, sometimes Omphalos Chamber.
I also often have go check Braham’s home when I’m running past it.

I do wish there was an instance of Gladium Canton. It’s the prettiest location and I want it all for myself. :/
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gladium_Canton

I would love Hall of Monuments but my characters can’t go there together.

Outside of instances, something I like is the place with crafting stations in Metrica.

Of the four player types I don’t think any works for me. I looked at this BrainHex then.

Your BrainHex Class is Seeker.
Your BrainHex Class Your BrainHex Sub-Class is Seeker-Mastermind.

Your scores for each of the classes in this test were as follows:
Seeker: 15
Mastermind: 10
Daredevil: 4
Achiever: 4
Socialiser: 2
Survivor: -1
Conqueror: -4

…Whatever that all means. Not sure if accurate. I was bit lazy with my answers. :/
It sounds cool, at least?

I like this in my results:

Each BrainHex Class also has an Exception, which describes what you dislike about playing games. Your Exceptions are:

» No Fear: You do not enjoy feeling afraid, preferring to feel safe or in control.
» No Punishment: You dislike struggling to overcome seemingly impossible challenges, and repeating the same task over and over again.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Lol. They are expecting something from you? No, they made the mistake of thinking you were a friendly sort so they friended you.

it’s very simple. Stop obsessing about a list where people mistakenly thought you were a friendly sort. Stop looking at it. It’s just a list on a panel that you have to go out of your way to look at.

No.

I can’t imagine why anyone in game would confuse me with a friendly person, I’m thinking the additions are because it’s a mistaken identity case, or they saw me in game (although it was mostly happening while I have been away for a while, being greeted with a stranger in followers when I look at the list at login so no idea) and for what ever reason added me. And I will want to deal with it, so I will look at that panel, and I will ignore them.

And I will wish the contacts system in this game worked differently, and that is how it is going to be.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Not everything is for everyone. If it’s something you don’t need and annoys you to see, and you then spend the time thinking about it and then open up two panels in order to look at it, then don’t. Don’t go over to look at something that has no value or use to you and that you know ahead of time it will annoy you to see.

It’s self control 101 not to go go out of your way to look at stuff that annoys you.

I don’t think that attitude of hiding one’s head in the sand is good for anything. The followers will still be in there, possibly expecting something. It’s fine to be aware of the situation, since this system works the way it works, and to deal with it how ever one means to deal with it. If this system is the right system for anything ever, that is debatable.

I check the tabs in contacts when I log in, to verify that I am in offline mode and there is no reason to go online mode (which would be friend online), followers to check if anyone unknown has added me (and I seriously got a feeling of dread every time I saw a strange name at the time it kept happening), and to check my ignore list for those who have added me and who I have ignored in turn right away, to see if anything suddenly makes sense.

I don’t want someone unknown on that list and not know they are there.
Especially when I don’t want to deal with being mistaken for someone else. I will want to ignore them right away to avoid that situation. And I don’t want to suddenly discuss anything with a complete stranger either in case that is why they added me.

I want to clear my followers. :/

I just ignored everyone who added me recently since there were many of them and I have no idea who they are, I’m convinced that it’s about mistaken name or something anyway (happened once and I never want to deal with that again). I don’t talk to anyone so that’s not where they come from. I don’t know.
Sometimes I unignore them to see if they removed me already, nope. All still there.

There’s also someone who added me during the first beta weekend and hasn’t been online since as far as I can tell.

The vitriol is vile and nasty.

I love him and I just want to see that he is safe.

I have been heartbroken since the LS ending and I’m convinced they are just going to cater to the haters.

I welcome it.

I absolutely loved her. I was disappointed with the reveals over the story, I just found it all somehow messy, but still she was great fun to be around. Why could I not save her and keep her for myself. Whyyy.

I wish it started earlier, mostly so that I could get some jumping time in to cure the worst clock tower obsession without having to deal with the likely frequently happening patches. Those are nightmare with the (update only) connection issues I have.

Kormeg.2469:

Well if you consider story quests to be gating, then would you think the same about the entire leveling process? Even before the NPE?

On the character mechanics and map accessibility department I considered GW2 acceptable in the start, even if it could’ve been slightly better. I don’t like the generic MMORPG experience with unlock quests or level requirements for game mechanics, GW2 had none of the first and half-decently minimal amount of the second. Once in reply to speculation of the trait or maybe NPE details being there from the start I made a post something like: I would’ve known to never love this game.
The gating (term I learned recently, I just called them restrictions before) is so jarring when things were taken away. Overall, current direction is not what I thought this game would ever be.

Last bit which reminds me: Oh does HoT ever look like a bundle of tacked on mechanics. Ow my sense of consistency.

This all would belong to another thread and I fear I have not much interest being the game direction is what it is. I really just wanted to tell anet, in case they even remotely care, that I don’t want to ever give them any money again. How would they know otherwise.

Kormeg.2469:

Traced.3495:

The expansion itself has very little to do with the fact that I do not want to give any money to them ever again.

I don’t care for their direction though, all the gating of things and this progression whatever that is. I don’t like it.

Can you elaborate your point further? Apart from raids, which really aren’t gated, what are you referring to?

I don’t particularly know too many details, happened I today read that masteries require a story quest, which in my books is gating (quest type). And while my thoughts about the game and expansion are what they are this got me even more down.
Then, I haven’t forgotten the NPE which added level gating to things that used not to have it and completely expect this to be the style of the game in the future. Just different kind of gates to everything.

All I want is the clock tower, nowwwww.

I’ll RIOT about other Halloween related details once it starts.

I’m terrified of losing him. He’s my favorite character.

I hate the account wallet. I actually really dislike a lot of these convenience things, and anything in general that had done anything to items. I like(d) items. And I liked to dive around in my items like a porpoise! And burrow through them like a gopher! And toss them up and let them hit me on the head!
Or, something like shuffling them around rearranging and admiring them.

I never have done any dungeons or gotten any of the other similar currencies, but it would really endlessly bother me that I couldn’t delete the extra currencies I don’t want around. This particular portion of the hatred is inherited from another game which did similar thing.

I love sylvari.

And I absolutely love Trahearne.
This fear is agony. I’m never playing the expansion but I don’t know if I can deal with the story information once that’s available.
…This hurts so much.

(How cool is Mordremoth though. ;_;)

Any/mesmer because portals are useful. I got used to portals at some point and now I constantly miss them, I only use eles.

I don’t want to give them any money ever again.

I truly hate what they have been doing recently. Every change in feature packs and since, and some before. (slight exaggeration here, some things are completely irrelevant to me)
I also do not for one bit like this “progression” direction as I dislike that stuff greatly.

Eidolonemesis.5640:

Traced.3495:

I really hate (and I mean it) the toy/tonic inventory suggestion, like I always hated to see the miniature one as well, and oh so much that it exists. I liked items as items and all these different systems for every different thing makes the game so messy. It looks so bad when things just sprawl everywhere, simplicity and consistency are much nicer things.
Not to mention that I hate it.

Also priorities are good. I don’t think that considering what is important to give inventory space to is so bad.

As one that adored the fluff and now knows only hate towards the playerbase who took it from me.
(^actual serious business)

I do think that the fluff items and why not even gathering tools should be reclaimable.
(I actually don’t like that the gathering tools exist at all but simplicity and consistency are nice things)

Now something I would like to see is all player models hidden but those in the party with the character model limit options. And option for hiding back items, and you guessed it, miniatures as well. Replacing weapons with some default model.

The Hero Window showing a ‘Toys’ tab (if implemented) and a ‘Miniatures’ tab (already there) in no way, shape or form directly affects any player’s gameplay, so I do not understand your issue with those tabs since those tabs exist to keep things more organized in one place, not ‘sprawled around’ as you put it.

In response to the other things you say you would like to see implemented, I still do not understand what the big deal is about those things. It almost sounds like one of those ‘just because’ kind of things.

Furthermore, there is already an option to make all player models so low in quality that a ‘hiding all player models’ option is not necessary unless you don’t want to see any other player except yourself, pretty much…

P.S. There was nothing mentioned about ‘Tonics’ in idea #9, only Toys from the Shop.

Party option: I want to of course see all my characters, I have multiple accounts and often keep two or more characters together. I also sometimes have other people in my party, surprisingly enough.
From which point we get to where I do not want to see strangers since I don’t exactly like people and the show off attitude I see when people make comments like what’s the point of getting expensive things when others can’t see them. Why not get it because you like it?
Then there are those wings that bother many people (I think the wings are pretty, rather massive though) and so on. It’s just a request I have seen around (picked it up from a post in this thread the latest, I recall, which is why I was going on about it) and that I like.

Items: I was just lumping the tonic idea with the toys since it’s a suggestion I have often seen as well. Not specifically reply to this one (I didn’t actually read it very carefully, I can’t stand to see it as it breaks my heart).

I think items worked fine the way they were and were cute in the process.
Then they get nuked, reduced to icons in the UI. When a category of items gets their own system, and then there’s another category of items that got their own system as well… I’m referring to town clothes and miniatures here. So I fear to see yet more, like I feared ever since I kept seeing suggestions about this mini thing and when it actually happened.

Somewhat unrelated ranting: What I called sprawl in that occassion was referring to the mess games get with systems and systems and systems added and changed and things get messy and inconsistent.
Ascended crafting being so crazy different, what became of magic find, changing of items into options in a menu, probably more.
I find HoT brings madness with game systems as well. I’m not an expect since I dismissed it quickly and haven’t looked into it but it just looked like a mess to me.
A mess being an opposite of consistency, and the simplicity which I thought served the game well when I used to love it. It may have greatly contributed to why I loved it. And I miss it so badly.

CandyHearts.6025:

Why did they even do an encore?

Because of my total makeover kits of course. Yes. Of course I would’ve preferred the kits to be lot cheaper but it was acceptable.

My hopes for forever is to have great number of changes made to the game changed back to the way they were. >:(

Also I would like to have everything I want for free as I don’t particularly want to grind for my identity repairs. Haaahahaha. /cry

…I could take a self-style hair kit if it was no more than 28 gems since that is all I have left.

Arahzor.1832:

That Trahearne survives.

This Trahearne hatred is just horrifying to constantly run into. He’s my favorite character and I’m heartbroken and have constant dread of losing him because of the haters.

…I was never going to recover anyway.

I could need it. I delete all my luck as I hate the account magic find system and things like that. If I ever do anything that gives me luck again I’d love to have something (especially if cute) to give it.
But there is no way I will do anything that takes effort to get it, so there goes that anyway…

Reminded of the ascended eaters, I would love their foods to be tradeable though. Because in addition of hating account wide magic find and things like that I also hate this binding of things.
My poor star goes hungry since I don’t even gain empyreal… whateveretheyweres at the moment. And since I don’t get dragonite (outside of festival boxes or something that did give it) I did not bother to get Princess.

I hate the 12 point argument. Because of some people feeling the need to grind those out every day I lost my change of gaining AP. I was happy getting that 5 AP, or 4, or 3, or 6, or 1, depending on a day, and I was happy playing.
I did specifically go to do those dailies as I didn’t particularly have any normal playing routine. Most of the time I only fought enemies because of the daily, and so on.

To me the PvP modes do not exist. And I hate events, especially when everyone is now made to go on one map to do them. This daily system looks really limited and bad. It asks too much.

Donari.5237:

Traced.3495:

Now could someone do something about the dye preview bug so that I could see what I’m doing? The electros liked to possess everything when I tried. ;_;

If you mean where the Hero Panel shows you in bizarre dye combos that aren’t actually on you, I’ve found that if you toggle the panel off and on again you’ll see the correct dye set. I have to do that every time I’m selecting Outfit dyes.

What I remember: I dyed armor, closed the hero panel to see it in game, that was all good. When I went back to the dye panel an electro dye (pink, or lime on another character) I had used was covering all armor in the preview. The dye channel boxes showed the dyes correctly.
When I tried to hover another dye over the dye channel it showed in the character model but only during that. I don’t think changing a dye did anything and didn’t stay there to try to change the electro away and see if the preview got normal again.
I didn’t check other dyes after that so I don’t know if it was only electo dyes. This all was several days ago, I don’t know if it still happens. If it does I’ll go make a bug report of it.

I am happy with my birthday present electros. I would’ve never bought any from the TP, no matter what.

Now could someone do something about the dye preview bug so that I could see what I’m doing? The electros liked to possess everything when I tried. ;_;
(Unless it was of course fixed while I haven’t looked)

While I am looking at this sale, can we have a cheap makeover kit next? A very cheap one?

I like idling in the Grove home instance but at some points the NPCs have started to have sound to go with their constant /no emote. Usually have to adjust my audio settings when I’m there. :/

At some point I stopped talking to the sylvari banker who greets me with more violence, less violets… or something along those lines.

There seems to be lacking in the department of total makeover kits. And I wouldn’t mind identity repair kits, name change contracts and self-style hair kits either.

If ideas for pricing are needed I’d suggest 25 gems each.

Free samples of hair and makeover kit would be wonderful in case people are hesitating with these kind of difficult decisions.

…Now now. Would I have ulterior motives like that?

I hate the outfit and the miniature systems already. I have no doubt that they will do this as well at some point.

Items should’ve stayed as items and different game systems should’ve been as consistent and as few with least amount of different rules as possible. And if people can’t stand to have a special item taking space on their inventory maybe re-evaluate the importance either the special item, or the greed for that non stop loot.

I do think that gem store items should be reclaimable though. If argument = anet has to make money then print: put some elbow into it.

(I am angry. )
