Currently my necromancer is “stuck” on Caithe’s Reconnaissance Squad. When I talk to her the tool tip on the right goes away, but the map marker remains. When I map out of Lion’s Arch and then return, I once again receive mail that I need to speak to her to repeat the process.
I don’t mind that it happens, as it’s been like this for several months, but I’m just wondering what was supposed to happen.
“He shall make whole that which was torn asunder.
Restore that which was lost. And all shall be as one.”
I figured it was. First, because NO ONE was talking about it. 500 Chef
PvE, PvP, WvW separate skill balancing? Those are some of the things found there. I shared it here mostly because I was skeptical so I’m glad we’re all in agreement
“He shall make whole that which was torn asunder.
Restore that which was lost. And all shall be as one.”
I mean yes I clearly see the link is “guiidwars2”, but clicking anywhere else directs you perfectly to the game’s website as normal.
It looks about as real as it can be, but maybe its a fake website and if I log into GW2 again I’ll find my stuff all gone due to hackers because of this website.
Again, I don’t know if its real, so if it’s not real please don’t infract me
“He shall make whole that which was torn asunder.
Restore that which was lost. And all shall be as one.”
Besides, who is going to pay for “promises”? I bought Heart of Thorns because it is Guild Wars 2. I will it the next expansion because it is Guild Wars 2. If a company says they have big ideas but later on find out they’re unable to use them, sure it sucks, that is life. It happens all the time and I don’t fault anyone for when it happens.
A lot of people bought HoT because of what they said was coming with it. We are 6 months in and so far they have not delivered on half of it and we have no idea when we will get the other half. If there was a timeline I would be fine but at this point I have no idea what I spent my money on.
That’s an odd spending habit then =/ I paid for the content and features; the maps, the elite specializations, my guild having a home just to name a few. The stuff they said they wanted too implement or were going to implement are ALWAYS subject to change so I don’t really let my self get excited about it. It’s nice to have, but doesn’t take away from the expansion in any way.

Legendary weapons are not the main selling point to Heart of Thorns. If they were, they would have been released WITH Heart of Thorns.
Besides, the main selling point for many people will vary – story, elite specializations, the new areas, guild halls, stronghold, wvw changes. All of these can be a main selling point depending on who you talk to.

Why will they be account bound? I thought it made sense to be soulbound because it doesn’t make any sense whatsoever to max an elite specialization for a profession I have never played. Why should I be able to max Scrapper while playing nothing but Necromancer, despite not ever really playing Engineer at all?

Dailies, though slowly approaching the 15000 cap. Then Tequatl or Shatterer, some HoT maps. Raid early Sunday morning if the group wants to go. Guild missions when our favor isn’t full, we all have plenty of commendations so we don’t benefit from them currently.

I find it shocking that anyone thinks that this was a good move. You either have a total lack of empathy or you just don’t mind getting duped. I never had any intention of making one of these legendaries but I knew players who were extremely excited about it. I think it is terrible that they have been duped.
Try looking at it from other perspectives…… Suppose they would have indefinitely shut down future raids……. shut down the living story…… shut down the pro leagues….. shut down future plans for wvw…..
Imagine that it was the selling point that most excited you that was ditched….. Would it still be a good move?
I mean Anet has the money to hire 70 employees for another expansion when this one isn’t finished….. still think it is a good idea???
I am not defending it, I never have. I have only said judgment should be withheld until we see how it plays out. It won’t be changed, so all we can and should do is hope for quality content Mike O has said we will get
“He shall make whole that which was torn asunder.
Restore that which was lost. And all shall be as one.”
This is a really great analysis. I appreciate all the work you put into this. We recognize the problems that the season 2 matchmaking is causing and are looking into solutions that will provide a good experience and satisfy our goals for the league system.
abolish mmr and just match people randomly within division? Can’t be worse than it is now
They need a combination of S1 and S2 and maybe smarter mmr, as opposed to no mmr.
But what was wrong with season one? Creating teams so that each one has a 50% chance to win made sense =/

They didn’t ship with Heart of Thorns. Your argument would only be possible if they were implemented… THEN removed. If you need to to help you feel better, ArenaNet’s announcement is more like a politicians promise. I don’t think that but it’s a good comparison for people that are unhappy.

Can you provide East Coast guilds with free transfers to Euro servers since we don’t mean anything to Anet anymore?
Most of my people are east coast and I think it’s better on Friday evening. Splitting the weekend, generally the most active time for gamers to play between two different matches wasn’t fun.

Never used one. Never found a big enough need for one to do any content in any previous game(s) I played.
Having one shouldn’t make doing anything easier. People that join for one of the raid wings should know what they need, the people I’ve gone with that don’t know always ask, or we tell them what they’ll need to do.
I can generally tell if our damage is enough after the first few attempts in the raid encounter or if changes need to be made.
“He shall make whole that which was torn asunder.

I don’t hate it. I love it. I just find it funny over last summer theyd say several times that the Berserker meta will be less common and yet… No? I don’t mind I just wonder why they made their content the way they did it they wanted to change it.

I like the feel of development for my character.
“Oh I haven’t earned Itzel Poison mastery so I can’t access that? Let me grow up by playing elsewhere and look, I got stronger!”

In the past week Crystal Desert has lost several key commanders.
Crystal Desert, and more importantly the commanders, did it to themselves. For a while they were all about rising in the ranks and getting into a higher tier and yes, they did it, and then one by one they all left. It was obvious it was going to happen.
Who left this time?
Mostly due to egos and politics. If an amazing guild from a different server xferred in, theyd be treated like an outcast until they left. I saw that with one of the best commanders at the time =/

Your first win was a comeback… +2
Your second win was in unranked queue… So no effect on anything
Your third win was the 2nd win in a row in ranked… +1.
You seem to be missing that one of your last 3 games in that screenshot is unranked.

I like how it is now, because I don’t do giant fights. I like knowing how much CC they are immune to and can counter effectively. I understand the frustration of it in large scale stuff but I can’t comment on that =/
“He shall make whole that which was torn asunder.
Restore that which was lost. And all shall be as one.”
Regardless of anything I’m not leaving. I have more respect for people who are loyal during dark times than those that leave for a the greener grass on the other side. If people feel like they have to leave, good riddance

Whether you strip old stability or new stability… There is still the same amount of boon strip. Boon strip will do the same thing vs any type of stability.

It doesn’t take innate skill to be good at it. Every player that has beaten the raid content did so with practice. Some may learn it faster than others, but that doesn’t stop everyone from trying it and even succeeding with ENOUGH practice. No single group went in the first time and had immediate success, without prior knowledge of the content.
Practice, it may take more practice than others, but progress will happen.
“He shall make whole that which was torn asunder.

What I find to be most curious is that there is no denial that such a mechanic will be involved with the final raid wing. Those that have beaten the second wing should know who we MAY be fighting in the final wing, and as such infusion might be necessary.
My theory is that, yes it will be used, but not more than current Fractals. Why else would Crystal have said months ago that the final wing is recommended to have Ascended?

ANET either poop or get off the pot. Raids are supposed to be playable by everybody not just SOME of the people playing this game.
That’s incorrect. Raids should be playable be everyone, but they didn’t intend for everyone to be able to raid successfully. (I recall a dev saying this a while back, but I cannot find the source)
You say “intend” here, but I think a better term is expect. I think they would love if every player who plays could do it successfully.
All it takes is practice and patience anyway. I did it, most others have done it. Its not going to be something you can just go into and win the first time.

Had 3 guildies capture the camp, we claimed it (which is not necessary for guild mission completion), and held it for 30 minutes until it went up to what I think is Tier 2
“He shall make whole that which was torn asunder.
Restore that which was lost. And all shall be as one.”
Doing WvW Capture and Hold with 3 guildies. I activate the guild mission, all 3 of us capture the camp, claim it, then hold it for 10 minutes until it reaches Tier 1, but guild mission progress did not update. Is there something we are missing?
“He shall make whole that which was torn asunder.

We’re continuing to focus on Fractals as our primary focus for 5-man content. However, given the reaction, we are taking a second look at the current dungeon rewards.
