Guild Wars 2

Firstly, let me say this new system is a great idea and on the whole they have some nice stuff in them. Just a little more thought would help though. I opened my second chest today. In it was a PvP chest containing goodies. I gleefully doubled clicked it and out popped 5 weapons and a head piece. All exotic level 80 stuff. And that’s where it all failed really. Every single item was soul-bound and every single item “could not be used by my profession” !

So now I have 6 PvP items that I can’t vend or wear, they are just there for me to destroy

My iMac 27 inch is in for repair at the moment (grrrrrr) but it is a lower spec than the one you listed above. Only slightly lower, I have 8 GB RAM for instance, and I can say that it plays absolutely fine. Playing GW2 on a PC while the Mac is being fixed, and to be honest, it does play a little better / faster on the PC but it is only a small difference. You will have no problem with the spec you have listed

I haven’t bothered with this event. Went to Lions Arch and spent 30 minutes trying to figure out what to do, couldn’t work it out, couldn’t find some NPC I was supposed to talk to, couldn’t figure out about a shore with debris or something even existed. ‘West side of Lions Arch’ was all i was told, went looking around and found no hint or help.

So I went back to levelling and haven’t bothered with it. I’ll just let this one pass by

The main problem with events is lack of knowledge. The ‘mail’ we get is very vague … “Go see” someone who then in turn is vague with what to do

The Halloween story event was very complex too. Had to follow directions from an unofficial website to even get part way through it, and gave up on that after about an hour of going all over the map, especially when I had to go to areas way above my level that I hadn’t explored yet

So the events need to be better planned / explained / simplified for us wayward players
