Guild Wars 2

Just go near the maguuma jungle somewhere, like SW, and you’ll see the new beta area in your map again, it’s just a glitch.

Think of masteries like achievement chests, you will get them eventually, just play the game as normal.
No need to have them all fast, else after 1 month you will be bored with no goal and be all “qq nothing to do , this expansion sux!”.

You have 2 gather events and 2 construction/object use events or w.e you want to call them in this BWE.

Supporting this, can’t see anything in zergs, making melee players really hard to see and avoid enemy attacks.

Guess this is a US issue? Didn’t get any aditional fees in the EU.

Just commenting on the jungle visuals, ask anyone who’s been in a jungle irl and they will tell you it’s the claustrophobia that gets you first, it’s supposed to be, it’s a jungle.

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it a bad map. Tbh i’m tired of the deserts and open plains, VB it’s a welcome change for me.

Bashing WoW is like being a hipster irl. Why not get something good for other MMOs and improve this one?

Everyone crying about zerker and elitists around here, why not get random LFG together with 30mins deserter buff?
That way you choose to either do the dungeon with people that are non meta or go afk for 30mins. Or, don’t use LFG at all and get 4 buddies and go wild the way you want to.

This suggestion is meant for the whole community, which is made of 90% casuals, not just for the 1%.

It’s not about the quantity, it’s about the quality. I’m sick of salvaging a bazillion green items. In GW2 there’s no meaningful reward for your actions, you get spammed with same stuff everywhere.

You forgot the most important one: /facepalm

Light Adaptation makes shadowy areas brighter, e.g. go to SW starting area near the wp and enable/disable the setting.
Also you have a smooth transition effect when you go to a bright area, e.g. relog your character in DR during the day.

Ambient Occlusion effects are visible when you have lots of buildings/objects around, look around the edges and you’ll see the shadows changing.

Can confirm, got this bug after the most recent update. Have all skills and specs learned, reappears after each map change.

Implement support for something that only 0.001% of the players will use?

Good luck with that.

It’s been reported for over an year now, Anet just doesn’t care, like dozens other issues.

But please buy more gems!

I just saw this topic and sigh….5 months is not enough to fix a silly visual effect or even reply on the matter?

Where are the white knights? I want to see them defending this.

Yes, but unlike real life, you can have an ‘undo’ button, it’s a simple QoL improvement for the game.

The amount of white knights in this thread is over nine thousand.

OP has a legit point, what if I’m sleepy or misclick and put the points in the wrong place? Mistakes happen. I shouldn’t need to spend hours to level or do skill challenges to correct a simple mistake when Anet can just add a simple button to reset the points.

And this is not the first thread addressing this issue btw, so it’s clearly a problem for a lot of people.

You guys need to go out more often.

Coopziana.1802:

Basically the games needs 1 of 3 things.

1. Remove Zerker completely.
2. Boost all defense to counter Zerker.
3. Merge Zerker into ALL armour so everyone is Zerker but has to choose between other stats. Like Condition, or Vitality, or Defense, or any other stats that are in the game.

Personally I think point 3 would solve the issue of a Zerk fest, as it wouldn’t exist anymore. Thus forcing people to re-evaluate there build and stats.

Bang done!

Then everyone will choose condition because it’s gonna be the stat that gives the most damage boost. So you replace zerker gear with +condi gear and you’ll have another meta “LFG condi gear only”.
People will always choose the gear that offers the best damage output, regardless of what stats it has or how it is named.

The problem with GW2 is that stats priority are not differentiated for professions, so you end up with everyone having zerk as meta. If we had stats like Intelect for eles, Strenght for warriors, Unicornpower for rangers, etc., then every proffesion would have different gear sets and the overall meta will dissapear.

The graphic options are there for a reason, how would adding support for better shaders or DX break the game for anyone?

Just in case some white knight comes and say “it’s your internet!”.

serenke.4806:

There’s nothing wrong with zerker wars. There is also no “zerker mentality”. Just because berserker gear is the optimal, you hate it. If for some reason soldier’s would suddenly be the optimal, you would hate on that too. Splendid.

This. There will always be a Lich King meta. Regardless of the gear stats.

Uhm…do you even know what burst means?

Burst dmg: single player uses highest damaging skills in quick succession/dealing high amounts of damage in a very short period of time

Then explain to me how would you like the devs to implement this:

Remove burst from these professionals
Make serious change to their burst: -90% burst damage reduction.

I don’t really see any change in my damage post-patch, so I don’t get the reason of this complaint.

Uhm…do you even know what burst means?

tairneanach.8427:

I guess you’re talking about raiding for equipment, aren’t you? As I see it, that’s not really content. It’s the same as doing dungeons and fractals here, just with a shiny carrot at the end. And once you’ve gotten the gear, you’re in the same place as you are in GW2 until the next expansion comes out.

I think that’s a core thing with MMORPGs. They’re supposed to keep players interested, but they can’t deliver enough content to do so in a reasonable amount of time. I’m amazed that my partner’s still playing WoW – she doesn’t even do any of the endgame content. She just relaxes by doing some dailies and looking for mounts and pets.

Mainly raid gear and content yes, but even while questing. Like WP mentioned in the video, you can level 1-80 in starter gear without being challenged in GW2, which you can’t really do in WoW.

And yes, in all MMOs you will eventually get gear capped, but for WoW that will take a while, so you have months of goals to accomplish. And after those few months WoW comes with a new patch that adds new content including a new raid tier, and so you start all over.

And yes, it’s the infamous gear treadmill, but the thing is that gear treadmill actually gives you some goals to accomplish and makes you feel your character is progressing.

In GW2 you get everything with gold. You can be full ascended and have a legendary in 30 mins if you have enough gold.
I asked a friend the other days,
“Why are you doing dungeons?”
- “For the gold”
“What you need the gold for?”
- “Idk just to have more”

I’m not praising WoW, it’s far from a perfect game, but GW2’s lack of progression and meaningful content makes me want to go back to WoW.
The only content I really enjoyed in GW2 in all these years was Liadri and getting the Light in the Darkness achievement.

tairneanach.8427:

VaLee.5102:

To sum up my experience and opinion: after about 2 years of GW2 I’m actually going back to WoW.

To each their own. I recently tried WoW again and found it mindnumbingly boring, but I’m relatively entertained by GW2.

I agree, everyone with his opinion, but I do miss WoW’s content. That feeling of character progression and actually having a goal for your actions, even after max level is reached.
Maybe masteries will add that to GW2, but as it stands now, tbh I’m tired of salvaging a bazillion pieces of green gear every day or doing events to get flooded in useless karma, if you know what i mean.

To sum up my experience and opinion: after about 2 years of GW2 I’m actually going back to WoW.
And will not purchase HoT until there’s a sale or something, that’s how boring I find the game now, and HoT doesn’t seem it’s gonna change anything important.

mcwurth.2081:

do it just for the fun of it?

There are plenty of games, WoW included, that added DX11 support with their expansions.
Newer shaders will be a massive improvement, Shader Model 5.0 vs Shader Model 3.0 is a really big difference. Not even talking about light and shadow effects or performance.

Max quality with supersample at 1080p:

Now tell me again how amazing the graphics are.

Just below your post: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/GW2-needs-a-new-graphics-engine/

Think most off all it needs higher res textures, even at 1080p and supersample enabled the textures are really poor up close.

There are people saying there’s hardcore PvE in GW2.
This is my answer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhckuhUxcgA

TinyThibault.9216:

We are now running full berzerker gear.

TinyThibault.9216:

We are now running full berzerker ge…

TinyThibault.9216:

We are now running full berzerk…

TinyThibault.9216:

…full…zerk….

And this brings us back to the old problem.

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Yyyeeeeeeeeeesssssssss.

Why does GW2 not have them? It’s tedious to open your inventory and search your food/potions/w.e in the middle of a fight. Is there a legit reason or is it just a design choice (a bad one)?

I got this bug 3 times now since the patch aswell, on the ele also.

Think you misread my question.
I’m interested in the age of the players, e.g. is it a mature guild (20+ yo) or most of the players are younger?

Can you give an aproximate of the average age of the members in the guild please?

Seafarer’s Rest, Desolation for WvW.

Glouryian.3765:

Tequatl is of course still doable.
Is it worth it? Hell no!

What he said.

Double the time for the same rewards? Noty.

Or I can go do dungeons or farm SW than wait 1h to do an event that has a 90% chance to fail now.

If increased HP is challenging content for you, then I hope Anet won’t listen to people like you when they design the “challenging content” for HoT.

I’m just gonna leave this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaG5SAw1n0c

90% of the statistics are made up.

Kadsik.9281:

Bro, i completely agree, not only does this game need to stay away from politics, but its true alot of the player base did not agree with the descision, and most of the country, atleast 60% If you read drudge report. I wish arenanet would keep away from stuff like this youll you will P.O most of yuur playerbase soon enough.

A lot of people seem to miss the point in this topic. Half of them are fighting about if gay marriage is good or bad, while what the OP was trying to address is Anet’s position on this, and that it should be neutral, not going one side or the other, which they did with that tweet.

That’s my opinion anyway.

And as a testament to my original argument that a company should never release stuff like this, is this very topic, and seems others that are created on this subject aswell.

This is a game community, topics like this should not be incentivized by the company.

For me, it’s another fail from Anet, think I tend to a see a pattern lately…

I see a pattern too. So many people who have no idea what the definition of the word fail is. Yes, it’s a definite pattern.

So in your opinion, the fact that Anet managed to make their players fight on forum about a topic, as sensitive as this, that doesn’t impact the gameplay in any way is a win to you?

Ok, to give an example:
- the feature pack last year could be tested without spoilers
- the major patch we had this week aswell, could’ve just left old LA on the test server if worried about spoilers
- the recently “2x HP” “hotfix” we had today also

And plenty other chanegs that occured that weren’t related to any new content, just game mechanics changes.
