Karma needed a nerf but they went way overboard. I had loads of Karma stockpiled so the change didn’t affect me but new players are screwed. The worst thing is I haven’t heard a single word on the matter and there have been multiple threads about this. I believe this was done for the ascended carrots, as if they didn’t have enough requirements already.
My respect for Arenanet is slowly fading away.

Actually they are releasing way more reoccuring/permanent content right now. Tequila patch, everything was permanent. Next patch same deal. We know that sometimes later on this year we will get Molten Facility & Aetherblade retreat back as fractals, +1 new fractal. SAB is reoccurring, etc etc

Some dungeon paths, WvW everything but with zerging taken in little doses, map completion & exploration, jumping puzzles, soloing stuff (easy stuff, I’m no Wethospu), SPvP hotjoins to try new builds or tournaments when I have a team. Also Personal Story (early levels), Living Story (not every update), SAB <3
Basically the whole game, but alternating activities.
What I do that I don’t like because of the rewards (and I feel terribly bored all the time when doing):
- Spamming fast dungeons for emp fragments
- Spamming temples/world bosses with timers for dragonite orbs
- Daily runs of Orr gathering to get the insane amounts required to level a profession

Congratulations and welcome to the club of the most superskilled elite players in GW2! (yeah this is to get on someone’s nerve)
Did you man the turret? Because if you man the turret you are at least 43% more skillful than the rest of the lowly zerg.
P.s. this thread has a disturbing lack of Charmanders

Bored of being chased all over the map by lots of angry enemies? Well I’ll say something I’ve never seen said by any VS other than some nice guys on VSS. Me and some of my guildies accept duels, 2 vs 2 and 3 vs 3.
Just don’t come with some imba perplexity mesmer thing, or you will be secretly frowned upon :P

Go tell that to NA t1. Pretty sure PPT is important to them.
Remove all the reward in WvW, and you won’t see them playing for PPT at all. Just saying.
WvW? Reward? Since begining WvW was huge gold sink and time waster, one had to PvE to gain money to WvW, pay guild taxes, spend hours in queues just to get in and then sit in tower clicking weapons so they dont despawn, carry supplies while getting nothing, spend hours fighting knowing if you log off, some important segment will likely be lost and you will not be replaced, wake up early to recapture points, always be on null since you spend all your money on upgrades and weapons etc.
Wxp, PvP gear, rewards, higher xp and loot all came much later
Once again proves what kind of scrubs are “GvG” players are. Hundreds and Thousands invested a lot of our time and soil in WvW and its insulting seeing people like you call yourself “WvW” ers now.
I think it’s insulting for me as someone playing on SFR from day 1 to read something so asinine from someone that apparently has a relevant role with our community site. But this should probably be kept out of this thread.

Interesting how SFR stopped whining about the Vizublob recently : I think they got a bigger one for themselves right now, so that’s ok.
BTW, below a screen of the SFR taskforce dispatched to secure hell of a difficult objective : hero’s camp.
As a solo/small group roamer (<5) I find myself really fed up and I have few options left :
- wait for the league and hoping to be against servers that have solo/roaming groups
- transfer to a low-tier server to avoid the “wannabeen°1” blobs
- Or most effective solution : “Start” => “Config Panel” => “Programs” =>“GW Uninstall : YES” and try to find a game that really promotes skill over pure numbers.
How do you propose that people resupply then? I mean, if a big group can’t hit a camp…
Anyways, as a roamer on vizunah you really have nothing to complain. If you were on any other server maybe…

Yet the game is still a success for you. Since you have played the game, and tried out all content (I assume).
How many hours is that? 60+?
money well spent i would say. Worse games out there that only give 5 hours total game time and sell for $60.
I played about 3000 hours of GW2, and I can happily say I should’ve spent my money on a game that would’ve given me 5 hours of gameplay. That game would’ve left me with some type of happy ending or a fulfillment of playing.
Guild Wars 2 was fun for the first few hours until I hit 80 and then the fun just slowly dissipated until it vanished and was replaced with work. No feeling of fulfillment. No feeling of joy. No feeling of accomplishment.
Really? Weren’t you the OP of some “GW2 is great” thread 15 days ago? That very thread were I posted a quote of yours massively dismissing the game? Now you are back with spitting in the same plate you eat from. Something just isn’t right.
I don’t always stalk players, but when I do, I stalk people whose thought process confuzzles me.

You can find the bank in all of the major cities and some minor villages too. Your best beat is reaching your racial capital, Rata Sum. Your personal story missions (green text, top right corner) will probably lead you there.
Otherwise you can go to Lion’s Arch, the game’s main hub. Open the PvP tab, press the “go into the heart of the mists” button and, after completing a short (and badly made) tutorial run right into the portal in front of you. From there the bank is easy to find, just ask in map chat. From Lion’s Arch you can instantly travel to all other capitals

Umut, the total number of servers needs to be a multiple of 3, otherwise we get matchups with 1 or 0 opponents. They would have to merge FOUR servers in one.

They should really consider either incentivizing players to spread out more evenly or merging some of the less populated servers, although that would be problematic because of WvW.

No way, Engineers are awesome in WvW/PvP with p/p, p/s, rifle, grenades, bombs, toolkit, elixirs, elixir gun and some gadgets. The class has like the biggest pool of viable builds.

It would be suicidal for Arena.net to release one; due to the overdue unfixed problems and hectic bugs which still plauging gw2 since release.
Like that bug that allows people to pick “Thief” as a playable class amirite?

Actually it was a pretty pathetic attempt at moving the goalpost, like all of his other posts. You pretty much dismantled him in one well written post and he is since then trying to avoid a proper discussion.
Not big surprise.
Is finding a connection between meaningful progression and having hard content too hard for you? It’s a pillar of almost every game there is. Except facebook games and gw2 I guess.
Higher stats isn’t meaningful progression. If your power goes up by 10% but so does everyone’s else (including enemies) aren’t you just running to stand in the same spot?
Besides, I don’t think you deserve an in-depth explanation as to why gear-gating/grinding and other bullkitten that are pillars of almost all other games have no correlation to difficult content. Suffice to say that your beloved Jade Maw is extremely easy once you get enough AR.
P.s. this is as far as I’m willing to go when debating with a guy that insists that this orange should taste more like an apple.

This game turns into facebook game. Log in, chop down some trees and log out. Nothing is even remotely hard and anet can’t even design anything hard. Dungeons were supposed to be hard, Liadri was supposed to be impossible and many more. We all have seen how that turned out to be.
Nice attempt to move the goalposts, Haviz.

<loves playing supports when they aren’t “I sit back” snoozefests
Healing is the worst kind of supporting. It is mostly reactive rather then proactive, meaning that in general it has less player interaction then other methods of supporting. A strong, short lasting shield forces you to see what the enemy is doing and anticipate his big attack to get the most out of your class. So do a stun, a blind, the protection and aegis boons, the pushback from my 5th shield skill… I could go on. Direct healing on the other hand generally tends to translate into “I watch healthbars and icons and spam my healing skills without actually working with you”.
It’s also worth nothing that introducing strong direct healers transforms most of the PvP strategy into “focus the healer or die” and PvE content that is impossible without them (or trivial with them).
P.s. the community is bad for not liking a snoozefest classes. Allright.

Here’s a quote. Not exactly what I quoted (that came from other VS posters) but still quite close.
“Dunno if it’s already over, but VS has clearly a lot less people than SFR 3.0, right now. We didn’t make recruit campaign, lost people over time, and didn’t have reinforcements”
Listen to it =/= trust whatever someone says blindly. I just asked a question, if the answers don’t seem rational to me I won’t accept them. All of your issues, we have too. For example, don’t you think we have the same amount (or maybe more?) of useless bandwagoners?
Edit: at the end of they day I think it’s too early to start discussions like these. We aren’t even day 1 in the league.

You proved you could win with bigger numbers and better coverage.
I am not making excuses for Vizu, I am not a spokesperson for the server. Please jump on someone else.
I am just giving you my honnest analysis of the situation – did not say I like it.
Oh, and, like it or not, you are now the “bigger numbers and bigger coverage” server, the one that is despised because it makes points in the day and loses everything during european prime.
Enjoy your time in the hate-spotlight.
You are not VS spokeperson but Troma is and I’ve already seen similar posts from him. Oh no, we are farming for ascended (every server does), we kill Taco (we probably killed him more than you), we feel happy with what we’ve done in WvW (so instead of a grand finale you decide to stop right aftern the first season…yeah). It may be true or not, I’ll never know, but to me they seem excuses. Not that I wanted to jump on anyone, just telling you my opinion.
And yes I do know we field more players right now (I implied it in my post), that’s why a win right now would prove a lot more than 10 wins against loldesolation & 3h queue-SFR.
But I don’t blame you guys, WvW is a game won by numbers and coverage primarily and apparently we have more (though yesterday prime time we didn’t even have queue for two maps).

Oh come on … Vizu won WvW for most of the first year. Vizu is tired now.
Since sept 2012, almost nothing has changed : lag is awful, rewards are inexistant.
A national server can’t really renew its population, contrary to the “international” servers like SFR. We had a huge WvW population, we did very good for the first year, but then everyone becomes tired and demotivated.
So yeah, French people are farming Taco and other world bosses. Because the loot is usually better than on your corpses.
Don’t expect much of a come-back for the league tho. A finisher is not a decent reward.
We’re happy with what we’ve done in the WvW scene, not sure there is much to prove now.
Oh I see, already putting your hands in front of you before even starting to fall. We aren’t even sure how the league is gonna go yet, but I see you are already making up excuses. We have Taco too, you know. Nice defeatism.
You proved you could win with bigger numbers and better coverage. So congratulations for that. Now would be a great time to prove you can win with inferior numbers and coverage.
Really saddens me as close matches are huge motivation for me.
