Guild Wars 2

Still lagging at times~ fix it~ so many complains cannot be our connection~

Same issue, I’m in a map with less than 10 people, and it is lagging like crazy right now.

Some times I attack and 1-2 seconds later the damage appears but I have been hit many times.
Basically unplayable, I’m in Baruch Bay, WvW also lags like crazy most of the time :/ still unplayable, I have reported this several times and nothing seems to be fixed.

I have a 20 MBPS connection, in other games it’s completly fine, but in GW2 simply, unplayable.

Tried doing some sPVP, simply unplayable due to lag, no it’s not my network… I’ve got a 20 mbps connection, tell me that’s not enough to play an MMO.

It was fine couple of weeks ago, but now it is very anoying. Cannot attack, cannot dodge, cannot run, cannot play at all, one moment I’m up fighting, freezes, and 5 seconds after I’m dead out of nowhere.

Hmmm… dungeons, yes including fractals (no I am not in there all day), WvW, farming, leveling my alts, puzzles, completing achievements, sPVP, running and jumping like crazy in LA while chatting with guildies, getting gold in orr some times…

Oh and costume brawls e.e

Thief is more a PVP class right now than a PVE. Just saying.

I seriously felt hurt when they said they’d add an increase in stats into the game… and hurts more when you don’t get a honest reply.

Is it bad I’m already looking at Blade & Soul – which I have also waited for over 3 years?… Hope there’s no problem mentioning this game since it’s also NCSoft’s.

If they will make me grind, atleast I want to have a sexy cat toon and STUNNING graphics :>

The graphics in GW2 are “good”, they made some improvements but I have seen better.

Veteran doesn’t mean you will get rare items, every lvl 80 mob has a chance to drop yellows and exotics at a low chance as I know.

Then you have to watch this video…

Might be by now offtopic but, I agree with the OP 100%.

RedBaron.6058:

Yamiino, if they offered the sales at same time people could plan and buy gems sensibly considering their needs. Like this people tend to buy at least 1 item from every batch of 3 offers everyday.

Smart business, thats all.

Yes but remember they lately are tending to do things different for some unknown and dark reason e.e

Cod Eye.1632:

Hickeroar.9734:

RedBaron.6058:

Hello lordkrall,

They are trying to sell the items that nobody buys anyway. They are not offering anything.

Thanks and best regards,

Red

I’ve already spent buckets on fine transmutation stones. The fact that they’re on sale now makes me very happy. They’re also selling black lion merchants for super cheap…

Don’t care about the Black lion keys though. You have to buy them in freaking $20 chunks in order to get the deal. That’s just dumb. I don’t want 25 of them. I want 5. If that.

Why are you going through them transmution stones like candy to a kid?, I have a stack of around 30 in my bank from game rewards and occasional chest, and only used 6 on transmuting 1 set of karma armour.

Simple, might be a skin collector like me xD

I’m not spending a single penny until we get a straight forward reply about why they added stat increase, unless it’s an awesome costume or something.

Red:
Don’t know, they said it’d be this way, who knows why o.O probably so atleast people log in to check the sales or something.
I actually forgot about these, didn’t even open up the cash shop today.

3 dif. items are going on sale each day, as in today 3, tomorrow 3 and the day after other 3

They stated from the begining they aint adding mounts nor flyers.

Zplus.4217:

If you guys really want your voices heard by people in the office instead of just the forum mods, here’s an official survey about the latest patch/event.

http://newsletters.ncsoft.com/emp/gw2/announcement/2012-11-21/na.html

Sadly they speak only about the event itself and not about all the other things involved.
However I did give them some feedback about why I did not invite friends, related to this.

OP, great post, read all of it and I do agree, we need that honest straight-forward answer.

What about we get a cash shop item that has a chance to drop legendaries? that’d be awesome too I bet, so people with money can get it first right? it’s fair, money > time and dedication, yep.

Well this goes to the graphic, special effect and animation team, the game is good, but how could you make it even better?

Here are some suggestions I really think you guys are lacking in the game:

1. Weather:
We have as far as I know: “bright nice spring day”, snow, rain. Now, I will ask you when it’s raining do you ever see a thunder around or wet floor / characters running?, adding something like this would actually make people feel in the game. Right now, the weather is boring. There are places where it’s mostly raining, and there are places where it’s always sunny, why?…

When it’s snowing, it’d be a good idea to put on the character some snow on their shoulders or something to feel in there, not just run through it like if I had an invisible protection against weather – I would buy that LOL.

2. Character effects:
As said above, make them interact with the world… make stuff breakable, make paintings removable as in, I remember in the betas that when I saw a grafitty on the walls I could remove them with an actual animation (somewhat lame by the way).
Now it’s just gets close presses f I’m still The grafitty is gone, what? o.O

3. More emotions:
It would be a good idea to add more such as, /clap, /plane more dances… 1 per class is just too flat, make an npc to teach you more dances with a dinamic event, not just oh you want to learn a new dance, it’s 2 gold, pays, congratulations you learnt moon walk dance, make it fun, not flat.

4. Teleportation:
Great you charge for teleportation, why not giving it an actual cut-scene of you going into the teleport and it teleporting you and not just pop – welcome you’re on the other side of the world.

5. Boat:
The same as teleportation, make us RIDE a boat, not just pop – welcome to the middle of the world.

6. Fishing:
Where’s the fishing? I see miner, gatherer, and chuck norris but where’s the fishing?

I had more but I forgot o.o tell me what you think of these?

I did feel something like what FFXIV had was needed.

http://youtu.be/hcF_aTvDMtU

Check it up, you could do something like this.

Just by the title, this ain’t wow and should never be wow-like… stop asking GW2 to be like WoW, you already got the gear grind you wanted, stop it there already…

Raine.1394:

I, of course, won’t be participating in the grind to Ascended. It is, after all, the mother of all gear grinds. Simply not interested. And, I won’t be visiting the gemstore at all. I’ve probably spent hundreds of dollars so far. I will only resume purchases if they remove the stat inflation from the gear. I really have no interest in grindy MMO’s.

Haven’t used the cash shop since halloween (costumes) e.e not even for transmutation stones.

If they keep making this kind of stuff, I will simply withdraw my few bucks spent monthly. Not like I need it anyway… I just wanted to support but if that means I will get multiple-slap-combo then thanks but no thanks.

I got both halloween costumes because I felt like giving something in exchange, I could pretty much have used my gold to get them but gave them some money because they were doing it right.

But now? heh, you know my answer…

Loosifah.4739:

Also they have said multiple times that ascended will be available via other means(such as WvW and crafting). They just haven’t released it yet.

I very hope so, because I refuse to do that dungeon over and over and over and over nonstop in order to get to lvl 7-10…. there’re plenty of things to do to be stuck in this dungeon… it’s fun though, but doing it because I have to, to get something is simply not my type. I rather do it because it’s fun and not because I have to…

I pass, if ascended is going to have the same stats as legendary, I rather farm for the legendary than this ascended gear. Legendary is supposed to be the highest tier, lets see if they don’t add in the future a “ultra legendary +10” thing later on.

As of the ascended gear being “one more step before legendary”, it’s useless, there was no point on making exotics “useless”.

For now I will stick to exotics and little by little farm for my legendary… I never planed to get it in the first place… but since it will have better stats in the future… there’s nothing else I can do but get it to have the 100% off my character. Thanks for making me grind like nuts for something I didn’t want to get…

Oh and I did read somewhere they’re going to add legendary armors, so… ascended is going to be useless sooner or later.

I really support this, it is nonsense that some ingredients / materials cannot be stored in the collections… I have a full bank slot filled up with ingredients / materials that are not collectibles, including candy corn and passion fruit.

Oh and, PLEASE, increase the stack of an item… 250 is not enough… I have over 500 candy corns… using more than one space in my bank… =.=

How it looks in WvW: http://youtu.be/bdlqUuGPkXI

Simply cannot be played xD people jumping around, disapearing, getting damage when it should have appeared couple of secs ago… etc… 2 seconds is too much of a delay in WvW.

God, I just didn’t record it now in WvW because I forgot but I was getting like a 4 second delay making my self VERY useless… There was once that I was alive, no one was around then I suddenly died with no people around me, 4-5 seconds later a bunch of red people were over me out of nowhere (no they didn’t cloack nor teleport, they were there I just couldn’t see them because of the lag…)

My speed: http://www.speedtest.net/result/2320902599.png

How it looks ingame: http://youtu.be/qC8QLET8FYk

I will record another one in WvW in few, so you can see the issue in action…

Yep, thought it was me, but now that I see this it’s GW2 end. Lol? This ain’t a priv. server to have lag issues seriously…

http://www.speedtest.net/result/2314495911.png

Not my network

1. Remove stat increase.

2. Keep new content coming (looks, effects, zones, dungeons, bosses, events, fixes, etc.)

3. Listen to the GW1-minded players, not the WoW-minded players…

4. Stick to your promises, don’t crush the trust people had in you.

Blacksarevok.8104:

Condition damage = PVP
Direct damage = PVE

This seems to be how the devs are intending it.

I have tried both builds, and yes this statement is correct some-what, condition damage is great lets say in WvW where people try to hide behind the walls and you can cast an AOE to add condition and keep bleeding/poisoning/burning/etc. from long distance.

Direct damage however does not have such big impact in PVP since people tend to stay protected and direct damage usually does not reach up in the walls (talking about WvW here, since in sPVP you can switch your build without any cost).

Condition damage in PVE is not that bad, however, you have to think that on higher levels mobs will stack, and you have very little time to kill them before they kill you, adding condition and killing them in 14 seconds can mean you’ll die or you won’t get loot (Orr events for example).

Direct damage in PVE is better, since the more damage you deal faster the faster the mob will die, aka the longer you will live and the better loot you will get for dealing high damage.

No, no and no.

Sad to say, can’t believe all the excitement was crushed in only one update…

Suggestion: remove stat increase, as said over 439875094759374573489574389579348 times already.

:)

All GW2 needs now to be a WoW clone is refines.

Add that and I will never touch this game again…

Hilko.1760:

Kelvingts.2035:

Skins alone cannot keep most of us playing the game for longer and longer.

You got the wrong game then. New skins, content, areas, dungeons, items, rares, prestige titles, competitive play, the inability to out gear content, etc, etc. Those are the things that kept the players in Guild Wars. The set of “players” your kind fall under have a billion other choices.

Amen!

Nothing to do when you hit 80, god seriously? I bet you didn’t play GW1, max level there was 20 the last time I played yet I had a lot to do on end-game. Just because you finished all the dungeons and the map doesn’t mean that there’s nothing else to do.

Again, Guild Wars IS NOT ABOUT GEAR STATS, get it right already gosh!

This is the time I can say, I TOLD YOU SO.

1. Adding the new gear for stats = gear treadmill.

2. Adding the new gear for stats = LFG madness and rejection – Colin said this wasn’t fun, why is it there then?…

3. Grind is grind and will always be grind, this new gear is nothing else but grind and repeat the dungeon over and over and over and over and… wait did i say over?

Yep, nothing of what was initially planned.

Sucks right?

Not fun. Not fun at all.

Don’t get me wrong, the dungeons are fun, though the new gear with new stats will and is messing it all up.

I also cashed in some and even sent support tickets TO SUPPORT THEM… this feels like a multiple slap-combo.

You know, this thread should be closed already it is becoming a flame war… ArenaNet has the feedback now, let them decide.

I’m pretty sure the decision is made already, and is not the one we were expecting.

Loosifah.4739:

Not going to happen, and again they never promised exotic would be the last tier.

Also this may not be an official “expansion” but this is them opening up a new zone to play in. It’s basically a micro-expansion.

facepalm really… call it as you want, no they didn’t say exotics would have the same power as legendaries. Nor they said legendaries would have more power than exotics, all they said was: All rare gear would have balanced stats, and that the rarest would be just for cosmetic and would be only optional to feel acomplishment.

Don’t make me quote colin again… please… it’s been posted twise in this page only. Please read before posting.

BondageBill.4021:

Hunterdan.4921:

I came across a thought I posted in another thread. But some of you fellas seem to be rather busy here, so I wanted to run this by you as well. Aside from the ragers, many of you are excellent conversationalists. So, here we go!

I think many of us saw the image of the ring posted, and assumed there would also be a power ring, and a precision ring, a healing ring, etc. But what if there isn’t?
What if the ring shown, was the only ring? It’s stats base lined for running dungeons? Putting everyone on a plateau that they can design pve dungeons around. Modifying variable being your infusion, and whatever weapons you happen to take along. Sure, I could equip my higher DPS ring, but agony would down me. Again, now I am at a plateau that they can design the dungeon around.

Thoughts?

This is about my biggest hope at the moment. Perhaps ANet has decided to limit the stats on Ascended gear such that it has lower or equal combat efficiency as Exotics. For example, if the item has a higher item budget, but all of that additional item budget is spent on Magic Find, Exotics with all combat related stats would still be useful.

However, there is one major problem here, Legendary weapons. If Legendaries are bumped up in power, and all Ascended items are non-optimal for combat, does that mean I need to farm a Legendary to have optimal combat stats?

No thank you. IMO, ANet should keep everything about the patch, except make Ascended gear statistically equal to Exotic.

Okay, that would be an “okay” but what about the new content? we would require that gear in order to do it… which is not what was said.

And I agree with BondageBills it was said that legendaries are going to be matching in power with ascended, that means ascended is more powerfull than exotics, that means they are not following their “it’s optional, just cosmetic” promise.

Which is the whole deal in this thread.

Loosifah.4739:

My argument isn’t that adding a new tier isn’t vertical. My argument is that they never promised exotic would be the last tier; that was an assumption on your part.

They have promised that they wouldn’t be adding a new tier every three months(Which people are picking apart), but the reason it was worded that was is because everyone was screaming “WHAT IF THEY ADD A NEW TIER EVERY THREE MONTHS!?”

Do I really need to quote this on every reply of this kind?…

From the blog:

“Fun impacts loot collection. The rarest items in the game are not more powerful than other items, so you don’t need them to be the best. The rarest items have unique looks to help your character feel that sense of accomplishment, but it’s not required to play the game. We don’t need to make mandatory gear treadmills, we make all of it optional, so those who find it fun to chase this prestigious gear can do so, but those who don’t are just as powerful and get to have fun too.” – Colin Johanson

Source: http://www.arena.net/blog/is-it-fun-colin-johanson-on-how-arenanet-measures-success

That is more than ENOUGH proof that level 80 gear was never going to have more stats. If this was an expansion, ok, I can bare with it and more levels and new zones, but this aint an expansion pack.

Issue solved, remove ascended or match the stats to exotics and legendaries to make them optional and not a must.

tkalamba.2541:

Jezath.7395:

Im afraid this is nonsense unless you come up with links to proof of what your saying. its almost like chinese whispers. people read a statment or watch a video and they fill the blanks in themselves and add what they think appropriate or they add what they think is between the lines. Alot of statements people are making here are untrue.

Maybe its a language barrier? I dont know.. But please guys for the sake of all our sanity if your going to make a claim please link the source from now on so we can read it ourselves and see how you might have come to your conclusions.

Thanks..

I’d like to add to this

“Q: What of the level cap? Have you guys decided whether you’re going to be increasing the level cap in future expansions?

Colin: Yeah. The level cap will be 80 on the initial release of the game, and we absolutely would increase it further into the game, probably through expansions is the most likely place we would do that."

The above is from 2011 btw.

So what are people going to do if they raise the level cap with expansions, Something that has been stated in the past will likely happen, and has been documented around the net.

Was this missed by people before purchasing? It was all before release… how would it be any different having to gain another 10 levels and replace gear then than it is now?

http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/40868-should-level-cap-rise-with-future-expansions/

or

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/938738-guild-wars-2/64181546

Unfortunately this was so far back apparently that all the links in those forums are dead, but they did state in the past there would be increases. There is no difference if this is the case.

Easy peacy, and it has been posted before.

“Fun impacts loot collection. The rarest items in the game are not more powerful than other items, so you don’t need them to be the best. The rarest items have unique looks to help your character feel that sense of accomplishment, but it’s not required to play the game.

Happy? the manifesto also has something like it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35BPhT-KI1E

1. Mike O’Brien: Guild Wars 2 takes everything you like about Guild Wars 1.
- Reality?, not really.

2. Colin: Most games you go out and have really fun tasks ocasionally that you get to do and the rest of the game is this boring grind to get the fun stuff. I swung a sword, I swung a sword again, hey! I swung it again, that’s great.We just don’t want players to grind in Guild Wars 2, no one enjoys it, no one finds it fun, we want to change the way people view combat.
- Grind will be the main thing if you want us to get legendaries, since they do have slots and ascended wont, as far as we know.

3. Ree: We do not want to build the same MMO everyone else is building.
- Well you are doing so.

4. Ree: The MOST important thing in any game should be the player, we built this game for them.
- So far there has not been a REAL answer of what we are asking.

So now, speak, do you need more proofs that all of this WAS NEVER intended in the first place? Or you are going to become blind and deaf and not see and listen to anyone else’s opinion?

Loosifah.4739:

Yamiino.1827:

Loosifah.4739:

Why is everyone still crying about this? The update occurs tomorrow; they’re not going to cancel it now even if some of them wanted to.

It’s one single tier of equipment, with no customization.

You can cry “well I spent real money on my exotics” but who told you to spend real money? I’ve spent real money; but not on gold.

Some will cry “But I spent time getting all these sets of exotics, I don’t want to have to get another set!” To this I just have to laugh. You’re playing a game at 3 months in and expect to NEVER get new equipment? “But it should just be cosmetics! Not higher stats!” They never said exotics would be the final tier of gear.

But this is all just speculation. I personally look forward to new content, and the ascension gear. I’m geared out in full exotics on 2 level 80 characters. You don’t see me complaining “But now I have to spend more GOLD!”

At 80 when you’re doing whatever you want to you never stop making money.

Correction on bold, they said all end-game gear would be equal in stats and it has been posted, serveral times, and mentioned several times as well.

Again, even if the ascended gear had 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000001% better stats NO ONE IS SAYING QQ FOR 8%, the point is. There’s no reason to add new gear with higher stats when it was ANNOUNCED that there would be no such thing.

THIS is the reason why people are complaining, THIS has nothing to do with the updated content, THIS has everything to do with “WHY are you doing something you were against of in the first place?”.

Get it?, now go home.

Nope, not going anywhere. I’m going to stay and enjoy this game. I will also continue to convey my opinion as so many others seem to be doing.

Got a problem? Go home?

That answer is so vague it cannot be considered a proper answer…

1. ArenaNet advertised and announced gear at level 80 would be balanced in stats, they were focusing more on looks than stats like in GW1.

What they did after 3 months?, all the contrary to these statements.

2. ArenaNet sold a game promising no grind.

What they are doing after 3 months?, you are going to grind to get the ultimate weapons and sets – legendary. Since NOW it is not an option, if you see it as an optional thing, you will not be getting the best of your character.

3. Adding this new powerfull gear you will grind for (also known as the CARROT method) to achieve some goals to feel character progression.

That has nothing to do with the Guild Wars philosophy… guild wars is not about rushing dungeons, guild wars is not about getting better stats, guild wars is not about doing a dungeon over and over and over (also known as gear treadmill)… Where the hell is Guild Wars in Guild Wars 2?…

Hope you now understand the point… this aint WoW, this aint LOTRO, this aint PWI to add stuff like this like if it was the way the company rolled and advertised a product thousands of follower purchased to be betrayed 3 months after the release.

What the hell?!

Columba.9730:

I find it quite funny that some people don’t understand that exotics and legendaries are statistically equivalent today. They then proceed to deride the rest of us for lacking comprehension that this new gear is BETWEEN EXOTICS AND LEGENDARIES. Lol. DId you miss the point that this means that they are now beefing up legendaries by 8-15%, making legendaries mandatory grinds too!??

Dude, they have already stated that legendary equipment will have stat boosts in the future. Where have you been.

That’s what Columba said, and it’s part of the problem.

I don’t want any new gear, ever, to be better than existing Exotics. Fill out more Exotics and add new cosmetic Mystic Forge recipe uniques and Legendaries, but only at the same statistical power level as Exotics. Never, ever higher.

Umm, until now, I never HAD to get legendaries. I never plan to do so either, but now I am forced to grind for them or run dungeons, neither of which appeal to me.

Exaaaaaaaactlyyyyyy, this new change breaks the BASIC promise of “All end-game gear will be balanced” WTF happened to that? >_> I’m not angry, call it, an anger progression if you so want to rename it that way.

You know, I won’t be anywhere near angry if you delay this update and do it right.

1. If you want to increase the stats, make a new system so that it only works IN THIS dungeon.

or

2. Make ascended gear have the same stats as exotics and legendaries, make ascended gear have a new slot (without runes, and with infusion slot, so that you can keep that Agony thing)

or

3. Add the infusion slot to all the gear items, exotics, legendaries, ascended. Same stats all of them, with the posibility of adding runes in all of them, making ascended gear AN OPTION and NOT A REQUIREMENT, this would make ascended gear a new skin basically WHICH I would love – this option is the best…

Delay the patch seriously, you promised this wouldn’t happen for FIVE YEARS, not one, not two, FIVE, and then what happens after 3 months of the release?, you break your own manifesto and promises? What a shame, never thought ArenaNet would do something like that… just feels wrong.

And please, people, don’t come with your WoW or TLOTR comments about this is needed, that there’s no content, that progression is needed, if you really are bored after 3 months of the release, you shouldn’t have bought Guild Wars 2 in the first place if you knew what Guild Wars was all about… go back to those games you like and leave THIS ONE AS IS, since MOST PEOPLE enjoy it the way it is now.

And don’t tell me I am casual because I play mostly every day for over 10 hours, and YET I have things to do, titles to achieve, dungeons to do, classes to test, tournaments to join, break some heads in WvW and much much MUUUUCH more. So stop asking for a raid, GW2 should never be WoW, noooooo!.

Lyer.1905:

LFM FoM, must need ascended gear with infusions, link gear in whispers

Oh boy, this exactly is what I’m running away from bad bad bad memories.

I am against the stat increase and that ANet didn’t follow their own manifesto.

The stat diference is not a lot, it is about 8% (taking numbers from other people that posted, yes I’m reading most of this), the problem is not the new content, the problem is not the new updates, the problem is that we have been cheated with false promises. They now are using the carrot method, and as the blog post says “this is just the beginning”, that is why I mention again, I dislike this stat upgrade.

It’s like if they said, “No way, we’re not going to do that. That’s what other games do but GW2 is different” and few months later… “What? I don’t recall mentioning we wouldn’t do this.”

1. They said lvl 80 gear would be balanced and that it would be skill based and not stat based, in this case, they’re applying the carrot method so that you get the new gear and your legendary weapon (which I didn’t plan to get in the first place) to get the most of it.

2. They said gear would be mostly for looks as in GW1, well, not anymore.

3. They said we’d be able to get the gear in different ways, pve, wvw, dungeons, buying it, crafting, etc. well, that’s out too because you need to do the dungeon and craft it with what you get in the dungeon. You’d say “it’s the same as people farming for citadel of flame”, well, not, because that gear has the same stats as the others that can be found in a drop, people do that dungeon mostly for the looks only.

4. They said we’d have a nice economy with the crafting systems, well not anymore, and now even crafted jewellery is out the window because of these new items that are better, even if it was 0.01% better, the point here is, it is opening the door to higher stat level gear in the future…

5. They said that exotic armors and weapons would have the same power as the end-game, well, not anymore, they even are modifying the legendary weapons to match in power the new ascended gear… then you now have to focus your time in a dungeon to farm this new gear because you have to, not because you want to.

6. They said end-game would always be there always, oh but now end-game is now focused in a dungeon and in farmin for legendary weapons.

Even if it is a very small stat upgrade, 8% advantage is 8% advantage, and it will never be other thing than 8% advantage however you want to look at it. There’s no other way to call it than gear treadmill.

And yes, I do feel robed and cheated, they sold us a fake idea. Again, if they want to add new content I am more than happy with that, but don’t even think of changing the stats of items or upgrading the items to make other end-game content useless. I come from games where “Oh look, new gear that has 10 stats more than what you have, go get it because your’s is useless now” is very common and that’s why I purchased GW2, thinking it would be different than all the other games out there as stated in their manifesto, well, this is nothing like what they said.

- My previous post was deleted, who knows why, probably because it was a bit harsh, but it’s my opinion and that’s what I have to say of this update. Hope this one won’t be deleted…

Take it back ArenaNet, you’re still in-time, I don’t care if you don’t release it the date you said, just, simply, do it right.

Remember what you said about grinding Colin, no grinding. Ree, remember what you said, not building the same MMO again. “The most important thing in a game should be the player, we’ve built this game for them”.

i love how a large group of people complained there was nothing to do end game (apparently), so they gave everyone something to do… now no one wants to do it???

My game was fine, I still have A LOT of things to do in this game, sorry for those that claim that they finished the game in a week, but they havent, they just can’t think of a better thing to do than farm in Orr…

nonononononono and NO!

I am against this update, ArenaNet seriously, you promised this wouldn’t happen, you said end-game gear would be the same for every lvl 80 and there would not be any kind of gear advantages, only looks.

What happened to this? I HATE gear grinding, don’t make GW2 like all the other games out there where gear gets upgraded every 2 months… JUST let it be like it is now… and possibly add it only for looks… don’t mess around with the stats, PLEASE.

People have spent a lot of time getting their gear and weapons for what?, you just came in and said “Oh, guys, btw… toss those in the garbage, they are useless now with the ascended gear”

NO!

Incident number [120914-003040]
Bought Items via gem store but never received them in mail
Tried to buy 2 die packs and a crafting boost, When I thought I didnt do it right bought another crafting boost which i also never recieved.

So now down 700 gems without anything to show for it
Need some assistance pretty please.

Is your mail empty? Some players are having the same issue but forget to clear there mail and recieved it after all old mail is deleted, just trying to help out. I think 10 mails can be saved up and all other mail wait for you saved up ones to be cleared.

OMG you are amazing that worked. After clearing my mail they started appearing.

In previous purchaes 2 weeks ago I didnt need to do that it just auto removed the oldest mail.
THanks very much!

That fix has been said over and over and over and even in the “common errors”, yet people come here and vent all they want.

Clear your mail if you’re having issues receiving your items… your in-game one, yes… click the little delete button and you should receive all the other pending e-mails because your inbox is full

Yep still can’t purchase gems, same error as before, what was fixed exactly? O_o

About items not being received, make sure your mail is not full (i didnt receive anything until I cleaned up some messages) – i tried this before converting gold to gems purchasing dyes. I did not receive the mail until I deleted the old messages filling up my mail.

About the fix, ATLAST x.x I don’t know if I was charged in my credit card… though I don’t think so…. glad enough I used paypal most of the time, so anything going out or in gets logged in there. As far as I tested, they havent tried to charge me, but who knows with when I entered debit and credit info..

@Lexaus, when it was released I’d say okay you’re right, but once it’s bug after bug after bug after fixing something that wasn’t bugged and break other 5 things then fix 1 and break 2. Then, just then, I get angry.

ArenaNet is not noobie making games, we all know that.

Then why the hell was the trading post working in the betas and not working in the release?

Why was gem purchase working in the betas and not working in the release?

Why are compromised account of the people that have been “hacked” not yet solved? It’s pretty simple to check the logs, if they have logs…

Why are bots still around when there’s 34987595 people reporting them with solid proofs?

Why is no one replying to the tickets?

Why is something working and then 30 mins later it doesn’t work? o_O

I mean seriously, if this was any other company I’d be raging, since it is ArenaNet I am just reporting hoping it’s just a temporal thing…
