Guild Wars 2

bri.2359:

I’ve been busy leveling a guardian, for the past 2 weeks, so haven’t spent much time Orr recently. I solo farm there quite regularly with my ranger, so keen on getting back.

I always liked Orr cos it took planning and tactics to get around. I hope the changes haven’t nerfed this too badly …

easyer to get around but zergas dont ROFL stomp the big temple events now. its actualy a big deal to beet grenth now

Arsenic Touch.7960:

Orr is still empty on my server, pretty much every in between the temple events are never touched. Drop rate still sucks. Mob density doesn’t look any different. Still getting cc’d out the kitten. All in all, not impressed.

Not playing the same game as the rest of us dude or what????

it hasnt been cancelled just pushed back the people who were working on it are working on other things first. it was talked about in an interview resantly i would link it if i new were it was

i have gotten nothing but lower level mats from chest

JoshuaRAWR.4653:

Pretty poor if that is the first event to introduce this patch.

“Fix some Signs, ok that’s it, wait now.”

Only day one dude. And if its anything like every other event thay have had in this game thay gradualy get bigger and bigger (unless your talking karka but that was so busted)

And dont give me that “gw1 did it”. Gw1 wasnt an MMO it was a coop RPG with a glorified lobby (towns) system.

Do you have any idea how much of a pain in the butt it would be to get into the same zone as your guild and even your friends. This would fail so hard its stupid.

I actualy will i have group of friends that i plan on gesting over to all the time to play witht the. i would move but i like my guild and sever to much

Grim West.3194:

Yes, we were lied to. Grinding dailies and grinding FOTM is the current endgame in GW2… which is an exact copy of WoW. If I wanted to grind dailies and instanced dungeons then I would be playing WoW.

We were promised something different than WoW, but what we got was a just another WoW clone.

At this point GW1 is a much better game than GW2. If ANET ever delivers on their promises for GW2 then I’ll come back, but I have better things to do than grind in another cheap WoW clone.

. Right but unlike wow you dont get locked out of content if you dont grined

Thats kinda the hole point. In wow if you dont keep up you get left behind

I can’t wait for something new, even if eso sucks, I’m playing it, can’t be any worse that’s for sure.

Yeah it can, especially since it’s an ES game, and that’s really easy to screw up if the developer starts cutting corners.

Oh you mean like this one?

“When it’s ready” EL OH EFFING EL!!

You do know that “when its ready” is just code for " we are working vary hard on it and dont have a relise date"

And most bethasda games as much as i enjoy them are often realy realy buggy (why i have all the modded patch’s)

You could also just run standerd dungeons get the tokens tern the tockens in for some cheep rares than smash them into ectos to sell or use

somsom.5201:

I agree on the ascended gear. Yes, there is a SLIGHT upgrade over exotic, but I see no reason for myself ever doing fractals again(after hitting mid 40s an doing them ~800+ times).

I’d much MUCH MUCH rather see new armor/weapon skins instead, something…worthwhile.

Like i said the revamped temple events karma venders have new gear with new skins

Also it has been confermed that the first part of the story for this event starts tommarow at about 12 PST

Yeah i know right if i cant pretend im rich and have a game hand me everything on a nice shiny golden plater for free, I shouldnt have to actualy play the game or put out any effert for rewards i should just be able to grind nothing but trash mobs and get all exotics and rares than sell them on thea trading post ((theres no way thay would be worthless right) than get millions and millions of gold just for the sake of haveing it /s

That’s not what I said at all. I didn’t want those things HANDED to me, I want more options. More recipes, more things to craft.

There’s literally no interesting MF recipes for rifles, and only a handful of greatswords.

This isn’t even a rage thread or anything. Just my opinions on the direction of patches.

I’m saying laurels should be able to exchanged for new armor skins and weapon skins or new recipes on top of new accessories.

. Woops sorry i was actualy raging at the othere dudes post

As for you op dont forget the contents not done comeing for this event yet we may see more of that

Also the temple events in orr have new types of gear if your willing to try to beet them.

I wish i new what class bugs people are talking about. Because we have a wide range of class’s people play in my guild and thay all seem vary effective (more so if plyed by one of our more skilled players)

Hell my guild leader is a necro and were she might lack in dammage she makes up for in shear servivabilaty and saport

Nappychappy.7046:

I’d assume you are the minority, these posts are like 1 in 100.

Don’t worry, Anet will push us all away in do time.

You do relize alot of people that bother going to forums only go to kitten most people that are happy with the content dont bother

Get higher level.

The higher fractal level YOU are the better. The drops

Over all from me and my guild the reactions to this patch have been nothing but posativ

Lady Vireo.5189:

Raine, have you tried reviving dead NPCs? They also count for the new daily, so if no players die around you, you can run around some heart events or DEs that frequently have dead NPCs. If you still have trouble finding ten dead NPCs to revive, keep in mind the daily will change again tomorrow. That’s what I find so nice about the new system. If you don’t like something, you’re not stuck with it, you can expect it to switch out and maybe be better the next day.

Sorry to hear you are having culling issues. I haven’t had any problems with that so I really can’t comment.

Weird, some how culling is magically fixed for you?

You must have a super computer /rolleyes

True enogh culling sucks, but in no way shape or forum is it that bad

Glad we have a fight were its actualy kind of a big deal when a group beets him first

Looks like his gear is almost worth the fight now two

The only temple event i had time to try was a few runs at grenth which crushed us each time so i have yet to see tham

Raine.1394:

That’s enough. I can’t get anyone to die in order to revive them. I give up. Been looking for a corpse for several hours, no ones cooperating. It’s now 2 days without completing dailies. I don’t think I missed more than one or two since launch and now I can’t complete one. Thank you Anet. Beautiful work.

Realy! Plenty in orr

WeLoveKanjimari.6725:

They told us we’d be able to complete Dailies by doing only a few of them, not having to do all 5.

They lied, and you have to do all 5.

They didn’t lie. They said very clearly that the option to do 4 of 6 would come in a later patch, once they’ve nailed down the daily tasks to get us out into the world.

Why the HELL would they delay that until a later patch?

probably because its still being worked on

i think rezzing NPC’s in camps is faster

the story stuff starts tommarow about 112 PST as stated by anouther dev in anouther forum

playandchill.3908:

Seriously, this thread @ every patch

Which only goes to prove Anet couldnt care less about their players. Every time all we want is to be kept up to date!
Every time Anet slap us in the face, keep quiet, dont make posts (on any media) and people get annoyed.
Surely somebody at Anet has the brains to realise players/customers like to be kept informed. Its simple good customer service, something Anet repeatedly FAIL to do !

man there are a bunch of you out today, herd Anet was coming out with a patch and decided to come and complain so every one can see it.

always around big update time and its ALWAYS the SAME people.

This is an mmo thats made for the full time working, family loveing, RL friend haveing gamer. There is a huge market for it and thats why i have been enjoying it. As long as it sticks to this than i will keep comeing back for more

jwburks.9735:

I am on Tarnished Coast. A lot of people seem to be in denial that the population is way down from what it used to be. For the most part I will see maybe 3 people on any map. Lion’s Arch was booming during the Wintersday event, but it’s back to being nearly empty again. I see RPers in Queensdale a lot, if that’s your thing.

Hahaahhahah. Dude dude you got to be kidding im a TC player and im always geting kicked to overflow i. TC and when i do make it home its packed.

Granted culling makes it seem empty as all hell unless you stand in one area for a min or 2

thay dont want us to all log in at the same time and crash everything, thats why thay dont give us a time

Grim Jr.8946:

another answer is casual players such as myself spent 70+ hours leveling a character aswell as exploring I did this in a span of a month or so because i can’t play everyday due to real world stuff I was hoping my character would be good and as a noob i didn’t know about the recent nerfs but when i got my character to 80 i wondered why is my hp only 10k.. when my friend who is a mesmer has 17k and my other friend a necro has 20.6k we were all wearing berserker gear so I thought hell maybe I do more damage than them. little do I know they do almost exact damage as me. so ofcourse im like sad so ofcourse extensive research was made only to find out staff builds were non existent.. all were D/D and I found out most nerfs were with the staff but I loved staff and I loved glass cannons so now im running around with 10k hp dying all the way in WvW and PvE..

TL:DR It’s very discouraging to waste 70+ hours of game time only to be nerfed..

errmmm the nerfs havent happend yet….. andthere trying to make more viable builds not less

thats why thay have said there going to look at it on a class/skill by class/skill basius

Amos.8760:

They are not nerfing an entire damage class. They said they would be looking at each profession and ability individually. We’ll see what that means on Monday. No reason to get bent out of shape over it until then.

we might not even see much of it munday this was for the hole year of 2013 focus conversation after all

Sky.9347:

Before Ascended Gear, Legendaries were an optional cosmetic grind.

Since then, Legendaries are where the “max stats” will reside. It’s been said, it’s been proven (via accidental early update), and it is fact.

And yet still so many people are claiming that Legendaries are just optional cosmetic fluff. That used to be true, but it isn’t anymore.

yeah because acended wepons duh…..

Whats funny is the fact that most of you dont understand what removeing this rng would do to the economy in this game

Thay dont give us an exact time. So people dont all log on at the time thay give and crash everything

There has been talk of quality of life things in the upcomeing updates including stuff for guilds. Also the hole guild misson stuff and new guild rewards.

Yaki.9563:

Karizee.8076:

The exotic gear you get from high level map completion, crafting or the corrupted god temple karma vendors is the same stat level as you get from dungeons.

High lvl map completion doesn’t reward lvl 80 exotics, and the karma gear sets have some of the worst stat combinations in the game. No P/V/T is not good, we don’t need you to sit there and pretend you are tanking while contributing half of what someone geared for DPS is doing.

That said, you can sell the exotics for decent gold and spend the resulting ~20g from leveling and map completion on a set of good exotics on the TP.

Anyway, why would you want endgame gear if you aren’t going to do endgame activities? If you’re just farting around in the open world, just buy some rares and call it good.

Thing is if your not doing dungeons that gear is just fine

Why do people always forget about karma venders

sonicwhip.9052:

It worries me now this game may become outdated or obsolete sooner than expected for the sole reason of portals. as new mmo’s will start to utilize open worlds this may become the only modern mmo with portal zoning.

This game is really pretty, the art team is amazing, and I am sure credit goes out to some programmers ect, but this game is a HUGE step backwards.

I think thats only true if the game you looking for is some kinda online fanticy world life simulater.

Also haw to do with the info that DE,s pump out

Nostalgia has this bad habit of only letting us remember the things we realy enjoyed, and overlooking or forgetting the negative . Makeing it harder to judge and be subjective on new things that are kind like it.

UnderdogSMO.9428:

Yeah people just dont get it I mean you here all thess people refering back to games like everquest…. i played everquest (so much) it wasnt that grate theres a resone why it got names like neverquest or evercamp.

You would spend so much time just grinding out the same mobs just to reach the next level. (Oh and in eq if you died you would lose alot of exp so much so you might de level.)

Dude what? EQ1 IS STILL running after 10 years, are you kidding me? They obviously did it right.

EQ2 is still running as well, and it came out during the WoW durp era.

I played EQ2 for 7 years, raided 20 hours a week, and loved every second of it. Dont bring up what you dont understand lol.

OMGOSH an MMO thats difficult and only rewards the best players for actually understanding the game? PFFB that MMO sucks….

See this is what im talking about!

I never said it was a bad game (not for its time. Every mmo sins is based on its foundation). But to say it wasnt grindy and a mess in some case’s you would be lieing to yourself

And yes it still has a big cult fallowing.

And yeah i never liked EQ2 2 starter citys and super liener world kinda killed it for me when it came out

When there is actualy stuff in the gem store that i need let me know because as of right now there’s nothing

Wasabi Kitty.8247:

You don’t have to grind. Yes you can grind if you want to, but grinding only makes you look prettier. Statwise someone whose been 80 for a week or two will be the same as someone whose been 80 for 3 months and been grinding nonstop. He might be prettier, but his stats are the same.

What do you do in this game that doesn’t require grind? So if its optional point me to a part of the game that doesn’t require grind in some form or another?

please.

well considering by the time you make it to max level you have all the karma and gold you need to get a set or two of exotics its an easy matter to run all the dungeons one’c or twice.

Jumping puzzle’s mostly arnt even level based soi you can do them as soon as you get to them.

Fractals you can run at the lower levels pretty early and see all of what thay have to offer

you can do Pretty much all the content without Grinding it out. HOW EVER if you want to look Pretty you may have to Grind out a dungeon or two, unless of cores you going for Gear you get from crafting than you may have to Farm alot

I think there is an area were you can post this and thay will put it on there main facebook page or something

critickitten.1498:

It will always be a thing, because everyone’s either standing in LA idling, or they’re running Fractals.

Which is a shame. The devs made this big beautiful world….and then funneled everyone into LA to run their big new dungeon. Even if they do make improvements to the PvE world, I’m not sure it’ll convince people to leave the Fractals.

It will for a time, because people will want that new acended gear in order to run higher level fractals ;P

thay would also have to report you as a gold seller and than Anet would take a look to see if you have actualy been sending out mail saying “BUY CHEEP GOLD” ETC

I’ve been doing Orr farming and I agree with you that most efficient ways for me to earn money on my 80 now that I’ve “completed” the world (hearts, vistas, skill challenges, etc.) is kind of boring and grindy.

I don’t do fractals or dungeons, so advice regarding that isn’t helpful to me. I don’t really PvP. Orr gets tedious, but it’s still a faster way to amass money and materials than leveling up a couple dozen characters to 80, selling everything I get as I go.

Mostly, I take breaks to ease the grind feeling, which is okay. I’m seriously beginning to consider how many alts I really want to keep since I don’t see myself with enough money and/or materials to get exotics for each of them.

well, you re saying its “tedious” but thats all you seem to like doing in the game.
no dungeon, no pvp…
actually, “why” do you keep farming ?
to get that legendary weapon and put the game aside ?
i would like to understand you, but cant.

Yeah it’s like he doesn’t actually like the game, he just likes getting new stuff. In which case why not get real life new stuff instead

because just like in the gam he probably dosnt know how to get cash :P
