How I like reporting guys like Unloveableone.6082 for their use of tongue
on topic, yea, I kinda agree, I mean, game is cool and all, but it’s missing a lot and I don’t think it can ever be solved with the way combat and classes are created….in one hand it’s great, in other hand it misses a lot of things
The fact you had to announce you reported me(for…uhm…what? None of my posts were in any way extreme.) just makes you look bad m8.
Play with autoattack off.
It’s much better.
Also, to further my point, I’d like to point out that all 3 of you guys QQing about the expac have a history of doing nothing of complaining on the forums.
Gee look at that pattern.Aren’t you being a hypocrite here? You have a similar history, except it’s the polar opposite of theirs, looking at your posts.
I’m not sure why people having an opinion offends you so much, as well as the rest of the heavily defensive fans of Guild Wars 2.
It’s not them having a different opinion.
It’s the fact they do nothing but blow up the forums every single time something new is released or some change happens. It gets old and it’s beyond the point of constructive criticism. They make our community seem like nothing but a bunch of spoiled whiny children.
It puts off potential new players and adds nothing but negativity. And 90% of the time it’s over nothing or uncalled for.
Also, to further my point, I’d like to point out that all 3 of you guys QQing about the expac have a history of doing nothing of complaining on the forums.
Gee look at that pattern.Kind of like the pattern of ad hominem personal attacks and insults thrown about by “others” here instead of a reasoned reply?
Yeah, Gee, look at that.
If you don’t like something, don’t do it.
That’s the most reasonable answer anyone could give someone complaining about something for days on end.
Try again.

Gee look at that pattern.
If you’re too lazy to just play a game then don’t play an MMO.
If you don’t like group content, play a single player game.
If you don’t like working for things, go play WoW.
If you don’t want to pay for an expansion, go play a free to play game.It has nothing to do with being lazy, it’s about doing the same stuff over and over again.
What do you call “group content”? I can’t even level together with a friend because not even a single thing is shared within the group.
The only thing in GW2 you really work for is skins. Now with the expansion you need to work for stuff which should have been already enabled by default.
And your last part is the typical ignorant answer nearly 95% of the community gives because they ran out of arguments if they even had any.
“Dare you to give any criticism, if you don’t like it, go somewhere else.”
You literally ran out of kittens to give, not the behavior of an supposedly adult.
I literally played the game to get where I am. There was no grinding. If I got bored, I went and did something else I enjoyed. WHOA HEY LOOK AT THAT MY MASTERY BAR IS READY TO MASTER WHOA! Crazy right?
It’s what happens when you don’t spend every waking moment QQing on the forums.
The “adult” thing to do here would be go do something else if you really don’t like the expac or the game. But you don’t. You people just sit on the forums 24/7 crying and whining until you get your way like the typical children you are.
Keep patting yourself on the back for bringing nothing but negativity to our community. It sure does make you look good.
The only people QQing are people that have a history of doing so on the forums.
I guarantee you haven’t even done half the things you could be doing in the expac yet.So? You act like Anet hasn’t given us plenty of reasons to complain over the last 3 years.
This isn’t one of them.
HoT is a great expansion.
100% Berserker
Story finished
Half my HoT Masteries down.
It’s been a great experience and so much better than other expacs
Most of the complaints are coming from the same whiners that complain about EVERYTHING Anet does.

The expansion is incredibly awesomely overwhelmingly fantastic.
What disappoints me is the number of posts on this forum, claiming exactly the opposite. These wonderful devs poured their heart and soul into this rich experience, and you’re all kittening on it because there is the slightest bit of challenge.
No one on here is asking “How do I do this?” It’s all “I can’t do this.”
Put your fingers to use learning how to rise to the challenge, instead of demonstrating your stereotypical Internet rage.
You might just find not only this game, but life, more enjoyable.
It’s too easy to follow the herd. There’s no value in being that kind of person.
Did you by any chance read that forum topic with somewhere near 2k responses? Players know how to do it, and that is what is disappointing them: you have to grind, period.
People want to play their elite specs, not grind for days/weeks/months on end on specs they have played for the last three years to unlock them.
Then play the kitten game. I’m already fully Berserkered out after two days of game time. It’s not hard if you’re not lazy. Stop whining and go play a single player game then.
Ok that’s not true at all. I think you’ve either not played enough or somehow overestimate just how much content was in a living story. I’m not done yet and I can already say there’s at least as much content as in S2.
Well I disagree entirely, and found what was actually there to be quite lacking. Most of the maps are empty of anything actually meaningful. No heart quests, no exploration achievements. You’re guided to where you are by little green dots, and very few of that map space is actually used for anything beyond that. I’ve just found a whole lot of nothing. Yes, NPC enemies and stuff are there, but to what point? Without a reason to be there, its just like Orr. When was the last time you went to Orr for anything other than the Temple events?
Most of the hero points are blocked by useless gating, so even if you do get there, you can’t get them. Just very, very poorly designed.
Full of kitten
OP do not listen to this guy. Both of his posts are pretty misleading.
Buy it. It’s amazing man.
The only people complaining are the same ones that whine about everything else or the ones that want to faceroll absolutely everything like always. It’s challenging and refreshing and adds soooo much to the game.
So, I will wait until ANet fixes all the issues with HoT before buying it.
From the amount of feedback posted on these forums I am pretty sure ANet will change things for the better, specially with Christmas coming around the corner.
“So, I’ll wait until they finally say no on removing everything about the expansion’s difficulty until I finally give in and just buy the expansion.”
Fixed that for you.

I really hope ANet sorts all the issues with HoT.
I would love to try it.
But right now it seems a waste of money.
Sort it out? They don’t need to sort anything out.
There is nothing wrong with it. Play the game or don’t.
That’s your decision, not theirs.
The game is finally challenging and has some real progression going for it.
And the whiners STILL flock to the forums.A lot seem to disagree, and see problems they think should be addressed.
I wouldn’t really call it real progression, aside from the elite specs themselves. The masteries are mostly gating, instead of progression. You gain some new exploration abilities with gliding and mushrooms, but the lore masteries are just there to slow down content consumption and make it seem like there is more to the expansion.
Even the process of unlocking the elite spec is gated behind the mastery system, or by wvw ranks and badges. The general expectation was to play though most of HoT using your new elite spec, not having to play through the majority of HoT just to get your new elite spec. Currently, it seems that fully unlocking a single elite spec takes about half as much time as it would take me to get a new character from 1-80 just playing pve. That’s a lot of time for just a spec/trait line, a new weapon, and a few new skills.
No. The vocal minority disagree. I have yet to hear a SINGLE person in game complain about it. And gating? It’s not gating. You don’t know what gating is.
Needing to play the game to progress is not gating.
I’m already on Part 4 of the story. I love it. I wish it was slower so I wouldn’t get done with it so fast.
Stop being lazy and just play the game.
You casuals have had 3 years to instant win everything. It’s time this game felt like GW again. And it does.
So PLEASE. If you don’t like it, just leave man. Because this is amazing. And the rest of the community agrees. We just don’t come to the forums to show as much as you negative nancys
And that’s precisely it; the entirety of the release was misleading and none of this info was conveyed in the past to allow for feedback before release.
To be honest I feel that the GW2 player base has been misled into pre-ordering an expansion completely different from the several tests carried out before release.
Does not seem an honest approach to ANet costumers…
Just stop.
…something changed for worst and I do not know what.
Are there so many differences between the HoT test version and the released version?
Thanks.
You haven’t even played the expansion yet. You have literally no right to say something changed for the worst lmao

Disgusted.
NEVER buying this expac. I’ve bought several expacs worth of Gem Cards, think I’m done with that as well.
While I am terribly upset at this…tragic happening.
I don’t think it’s worth not buying it over.
It was very very well done, however sad it was.
SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why?
Why did you have to play with our hearts like that?
This isn’t Game of Thrones.
I’m so upset right now T-T
You’ve struck such a heavy blow to my soul.
HOW COULD YOU?!?
I’M GOING TO RIP THAT DRAGON’S HEAD OFF. AND IT’S YOUR FAULT!
May the Spirits of the Wild…sob….carry her on their winds….
I think players need to take a step back and not try to control the environment as if it’s a console game. Seeing a word and being offended is completely different than being “called” a word and being offended. Tolerance should be practiced before running to report anything in game.
Um, no. Racism, sexism and bigotry should not be tolerated. Just because your privileged kitten can’t think of a word that would be offensive to you, doesn’t mean others won’t be offended by that kitten. There should definitely be an easy way to report crap like that.
TUMBLR: THE POST
(I really hope this was a joke comment. Otherwise, my sides)
just finished it and have a load of loot
Just you man
-More mordrem. Hate the things and think they’ve ran their course by now.
Can’t tell if trolling or not
A jubilee is usually a celebration of a round anniversary, in this case it was Queens Jennahs 10 years as reign of DR 2 years ago in August.
As we didnt celebrate the anniversary last year or this year, I doubt we get one in the near future, maybe in 3 or 8 years.
But we did have the Crown Pavilion, which it seems pretty obvious that’s what the OP is actually asking about.
It doesn’t look like we will be getting the Crown Pavilion event this year. It’s already pretty late compared to when it launched previously, and we are getting closer to Halloween/HoT. I wouldn’t be sad to be wrong about this, though.
IF the OP was asking about the pavillon, he didnt indicate it. It was only jubilee that was mentioned.
I mean….it’s pretty obvious that’s what I was talking about lol.
They’re essentially the same thing.
Are there any plans on bringing this back? ;-;
It’s usually around this time it comes and I’ve been looking forward to it for a while.
Hey there.
I’ve been in search of a guild that better suits me than my current one.
I’d like for it to not be a large guild. I prefer smaller ones(like a max of…50 people or so)
I’m looking for a guild that breaks the mold of “family friendly orientated”.
I want a guild that I can hang out with in game and not feel so….fake with.
I’m looking for a guild that treats the game like a video game and not with so much “professionalism” that I see in a lot of guilds.
I know people are going to get offended by this, but I really just don’t enjoy that kind of environment. I want to have fun. I want to get drunk and have crazy game/skype sessions.
I want to be able to say what I want in guild chat. Discuss things that you wouldn’t be able to in some guilds. And in general just have fun and make friends without feeling like I’m not being myself. Let’s be immature. Let’s have fun in game. Let’s laugh at crude and stupid humor.
I’ve been playing since launch(well, since GW Factions). I have 6 80s. A pretty in depth knowledge of just about everything there is about the game series. I’d like to raid in HoT, but I also enjoy RP(a lot) and casual PvP.
If you have what I’m looking for, feel free to message me on here or ingame!
I agree.
I’ve all but given up hope in making a guild and I’ve been a guild leader for many many years in WoW and was in GW1.
It’s impossible. With this system there is hardly any loyalty to a guild. And when you kindly ask someone to rep, they leave or get mad. And you get told you are a limiting guild and that nobody will want to be in a guild that wants a tight close knit community that actually reps.
It’s so frustrating.
I give up.
Lion’s Arch 3.0 looks amazing.
So amazing.
But it’s a real bummer that we can’t enter any houses like in DR or anything. But there are so many.
A small request, and not one that has to be done now.
But if you could at any point in the future, allow some of these buildings to be enterable?
can i have your stuff?
A short Asuran Necro with a large head and bad attitude!
I accidentally ran too close to the Mystic Forge and fell in, a couple a seconds later after a little visual it spit me out! Seems Zammos has no use for me.
I thought this was a nice comic addition by the devs.
I saw 4 asuras in rare gear jump in and a charr in exotics come out, definately an improvement.
laughed too hard at this
This title should have been “How to make readers lose brain cells by reading this”
I love the new elite Signet though. It’s amazing.
I’d fuggen love it if zerker wasn’t a thing

Hello Anet .. anyone actually there??
Anyone… who understands the simple rules that constitute a COMFORTABLE human environment, established 3 over thousand years of real life Architectural trial and error … no?
Obviously not!Guys really .. basics are for a reason.. they work!
Legibility 0
Connected spaces 0
Scale .. wtafDidn’t you notice us all happily gathered in the Mystic Forge plaza in the old LA?
Perhaps you missed the posing platform right by the bank and the way people parked their toons in the small space in between the bank and the BLT… ??? Didn’t you notice that no one parked up in the old Plaza … because no one was there to see, or be seen?Frankly the ‘Designers’ need to please explain what a giant lobster this has to do with the back story in this game .. which idiot thought Seafood Salad would be an inspirational environment, and where the hart and center of this game is now supposed to hang out together?
You have a great community .. stop kicking them in the crotch and get someone who knows what there doing!
I didn’t know your opinion held such a high merit. They should for sure replace a staff member just because you don’t like it.
Non meta is more fun, and just as great as meta.
Zerkers are a liability and boring.
I just want to know where the sewer entrance is ;-; my favorite part of old LA
My favourite addition is the item that eats dragonite ore but then again I care about the gameplay.
Okay that’s nice for you! Just because I care about something other than the gameplay doesn’t mean I don’t care about the gameplay at all! Grow up!
Oh look, someone doesn’t really care or agree with you so you insult them. How very typical of tumblrinas
Shut up and leave.
This is getting old.
And I already feel like I’m playing a MMO by myself because the community is so toxic that I’ve literally made it a point not to speak to anybody unless in a combat situation ,or asked something in the first place.
Make a comment about the HoT subject: People cussed me for hours in map chat, followed me from area to area, whispered me until I had to resort to blocking people.
Made a comment that 4 people fighting one warrior and never dropping him below 90% hp was kind of BS: Cussed, called a “kittentard” for hours on end, followed around, left PVP lobby and the whispers are STILL going on (Been about 30 minutes). This was after I made a point to say that I am INDEED new to the game and that it was entirely from a new player standpoint. (My GW2 Icon is flashing up a STORM right now from whispers.)
I’m honestly considering just muting everything but the system chat and taking solace that the game’s damage numbers won’t threaten my life, threaten to molest my children (Not that I have any) or spew constant vulgar insults at me.
Does anybody else feel like this? I feel like I might as well not even have bought the game. The reason you play an MMO is to meet new people and enjoy yourself. I feel like I’m tiptoeing around because no matter what I do, the entire map is just WAITING to blow up and just crap on anybody who dares speak.
Now, don’t get me wrong. If somebody is low enough to go around cussing somebody, trashing them and trying to make a scene, I’m not going to take that person seriously. The problem is that I CANT SEEM TO FIND ANYBODY ELSE WHO IS -WORTH- PLAYING WITH.
Level 17, human and the quest areas are empty. I think I maybe see…10 people a day?
I thought mega-servers meant all those “full” servers would be sharing some people to play with…
._.;
People like to claim this community is friendly and the most welcoming.
It’s not.
At launch, this was true.
During GW1, this was true.
Now?
It’s filled with toxic cliquey players that hate when anyone disagrees with them.
Pretty sad.
So uh, I should request refund for ultimate then I guess? I bought it for the char slot which was an extra 800 gem worth and now that’s gone; it’s better just to go base version of hot now. Lame.
….how? You still have all of the extra pre purchase stuff and 3200 gems.
You spent 100 dollars to save 10 bucks?
Brilliant logic.Well why not? Saving 10 bucks is saving 10 bucks, that’s what made it attractive; it’s the whole reason why I plunked down 130 bucks in the first place. I am glad you all got better deals, this is great news but not so great for ultimate. I would have expected maybe an extra 800 gems dropped onto delux/ultimate as well but apparently not.
“I spent 100 dollars on the Ultimate edition to use 800 gems that I could have bought for 10 bucks. Now everything else is useless and I want a refund because I only wanted to spend 10 bucks of the 100.”
To the op. I am a professional artist and I have had people love my art and hate my art. It doesn’t matter to me one way or the other if people like or dislike my own art. I would do it regardless. Being an artist requires strong skin.
If Anet or it’s employee’s can not handle criticism/rage and only want the love then they are in the wrong business. Choosing to be in a creative profession is not for people who can’t take harsh words.
The point of my whole post was about people harassing them over it. Not because they can’t take criticism, which they did quite well.
Harassing someone because you don’t like his Art/Music/Game/Etc is pathetic.
THave you ever created a work of art? A painting? A musical piece? A game? A story?
How would you feel if your hard work and what you’ve dedicated a year or two to, was ridiculed and hated before it was even released?
Yeah actually, career artist here, second generation after my mother who was a classical portrait and landscape artist.
And you know what she taught me?
If you can’t take critique, keep your art, to yourself.
Critique is as much a part of the artistic process as concept and creation. Unless you are somehow an immaculate and perfect artist, basically unless you are God Himself, your art warrants critique and you should accept and consider it gracefully regardless of how and where it is given. My greatest artistic mentor once told a student that he didn’t have what it takes for an art career, the kid said he appreciated his honesty, walked out of class and over to the administration building, where he immediately changed his major. And there have never been any hard feelings between that student and the professor. The kid may not have had the artistic talent, but he had the artistically driven mentality that accepts, rather than takes offense to, critique.
You don’t want to pay the full price for the pre-order?
Don’t. That is your choice. But they owe you NOTHING.Completely false, they do owe people something. They stated for six months, since its first announcement, that the expansion would require the purchase of the base game. They owe people who purchased or supported the game, based on that, another means to purchase the game for a price comparably fair to those who are getting the base game rolled in for free. If they had never made any such a statement, then you would have a point, but since they did, they have an obligation to keep their word if they want to maintain the respect and trust of their playerbase.
How would you feel if when you announced that it was ready for purchase, people spat on it. People lashed out at you on not only your official accounts, but your personal ones to.
But being complete jerks about all of this is revolting and reflects poorly on us as a community. And think of the devs. They have feelings too. And I’m sure many are upset right now. This may just be an expansion to you, but it’s much more than that to them.
Now all that said, this is completely deplorable behavior and I hope ANet takes just action against the accounts who have done this. Those are their private, not professional, accounts. This is like showing up at someones home and screaming in to their house from the street about the dealings of the business they work for, and worse, doing so when you don’t even know the persons opinions or involvement in the incident in question. In real life, this would be considered harassment, possibly even assault, and I wouldn’t even scoff at a permanent ban for these people.
However, as for you, OP. You are a completely despicable wormtongue for having made this thread as an underhanded attack against people whose opinions you disagree with. Rather than supporting your opinion with any amount of logic or evidence like a civilized and intelligent person, you have attempted to vilify those you disagree with with emotionally charged stereotyping base on a tiny subset of people that the majority of those who share the opinion you disagree with, would never have anything to do with.
I respect the majority of the people on these forums who share your opinion, even though I don’t agree with them, but not you, you don’t give any, and you don’t deserve any it in return.
Am I supposed to care? No? Okay.
So uh, I should request refund for ultimate then I guess? I bought it for the char slot which was an extra 800 gem worth and now that’s gone; it’s better just to go base version of hot now. Lame.

Its a win now, and to cover their butts later.
Basically, “oops, we werent expecting this reaction, give them the character slot.”
Yay win! I’m happy with this change even!final paragraph: “We are going to give away previous needed content for free to new players from now on when a new xpac comes out. This is a heads up so you can’t yell at us for doing this again.”
aka: You get a free character slot now, but the future looks doubtful.
Boo hoo its easier for everyone else to get into the game wahhh
You got a reward for being a “veteran player”. Leave it at that.
Wow. So, the people moaning on other threads are truly SO toxic that they can’t bear a different topic saying something positive, without being overwhelmed by the need to hijack it and turn it into a continuation of their ‘complaint’ threads.
Really, go post in those other threads instead of here. This is not the thread for it and as such it’s completely OT. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but everyone is NOT entitled to hijack other people’s threads in order to continue arguments they started elsewhere.
+1
Sadly, there are more sad people than happy people on this planet. The number of people sad unhappy about their own paycheck outnumbers those who are content.
That aside, I know ANET isn’t perfect, but they’ve tried very hard to create a game their players will enjoy. It will take some time for things to be perfect, but we’ll get there eventually (although no ‘veteran’ would complain if a couple of freebies were thrown their way, lol).
Yeah. I really see nothing wrong with this and I’ve been a loyal customer since Factions.
Free core game means more people in the game. In what world is that a bad thing?
Sorry but no.
Yes, designers are doing amazing work. And this work was destroyed one minute because of someone making a terrible marketing move. They should blame those responsible inside their own company. They are parts of the same company and the company is blamed as a whole.I feel no pity here. This is bussiness. The company failed and company will take responsibility as a whole.
Glad you support the harassment of devs that had absolutely nothing to do with this. Shows a lot about you my friend.
I’m glad the feelings of those that have created GW2 means less to you than an extra 10 dollars.
How immature.
Where were you people when everyone was raving about Destiny or Assassin’s Creed: Unity? Or Rage? You were silent then. because people had complaints. And legitimate ones. None of those games were worth the $60 price tag and people were very vocal about it. But no one called those “works of art”. Just terrible games. It’s criticism game designers unfortunately come across.
Of course, I’m not saying “OMG your game suckslol” is the proper response, but if people feel it’s not worth $50, it’s not worth $50. Try harder or drop the price.
Harassing devs(that dont even have anything to do with it either) and acting like this is not criticism.
You don’t want to buy it? Don’t buy it then.
But acting like a spoiled rotten child and harassing people is not the right way to go.
Agreed. People quickly forget about effort and time that this people put into it. I also have a feeling that people think they all earn 6 figure paychecks while scratching their private parts.
Also people forget it’s their own free will to buy the product or not to buy the product.
I really think people just think that Arenanet is out to steal all of their money and screw them over. Which I really want to know why people think like that about this? If I wanted to scam someone out of money, game development sure as hell wouldn’t be where I wanted to do it at. So much work needed.
And yeah. The mob mentality though seems to take over that sense.
This article sums up basically everything there is about this whole fiasco and everyone should read it.

They’ve worked kitten this expansion. It’s their life. What they put their hard work and passion into. Some of you think they’re just greedy dirtbags that want to screw you over…why? Have you ever created a work of art? A painting? A musical piece? A game? A story?
How would you feel if when you announced that it was ready for purchase, people spat on it. People lashed out at you on not only your official accounts, but your personal ones to.

Arenanet, thank you for all you have done. For putting the time and effort into giving us an amazing series of games that only get better as time goes on. I’ve been looking forward to HoT since it was announced and cannot wait.
Keep the amazing work
