Guild Wars 2

Since it impacts probably just you immediately I would think they will wait for more (say 10000) people to be concerned financially.

I am going to guess you don’t know anything about condi builds.

It won’t work for the achieve in the OP’s title, but as to just completing the story step: I did get confused by the NPC’s shouting “Get below to fight!” and I jumped down to a place from which I could not jump up again. The fight proceeded on a timer, desperate shouts and all, until the chopper arrived and I could just barely manage to get in range to board it. Caithe and Canach hung out with me down there, even, adding irony to Canach’s snarl that “At this rate there won’t be anyone left.”

Same thing here.
At OP can’t say it is any kind of exploit to wait out the fight since none of the achievements rely on it in any way. It is a badly layed out finale though.

Put them in with the crafting mats and let vendors access it. Also stop having things cost more than a stack of mats to make.

To heck with GW1, disliked the game when I tried it years ago and forum fanatics have completely turned me off wanting to try it again.

I get it about 30-40% of the time, known issue.

People seem to have attachment issues. This is a game, not a personal relationship. You may be a wonderful person, you may be a nutbar, all the same thing since you are a name and in some cases several books worth of postings on forums or whatever. Nothing more.
There is no relationship except business to customer.
They owe you nothing but the game.
If they lose people it is not because they don’t love you.

Your straw man isn’t even very good. I feel sad for you.

If they lose people, they lose money.

This whole conversation is about the business/customer relationship.

All you have is strawman and sad? You really need new material.

You must of flunked economics 101. The same rules that apply to personal relationships apply to business relationships. Trust, honor, respect, communication etc all apply to either and or.

guess I did at that, have fun on this…. topic

too bad there wasn’t a mount thread just within 2 posts of this one.

Ok I Did It.2854:

Is this where it the throws the orbs out from the wurm, if so, then yes the reflects etc have been used for awhile, there was a change done that xx% time it has a chance to fail and they still spawn etc,

(if you are on about something else ignore this :o) )

Eggs have been blocked from the beginning. Husks have been known to be blockable since at least late winter this year. It requires different mechanics to block husks and so can be considered an exploit.

^ This. Pick up every ore, tree, plant node you see on the minimap. Its easy starting cash or much needed materials for later. Its much like skyrim, really.

Edit: Ugh, just to avoid confusion on your end. Thanks to recent patches you’ll notice those ores on the map only once you reached level 6.

On the mini-map, you will still see them as you pass by them.

From what I have heard it is an exploit. GW2Community doesn’t use it because of that.

EDIT: Also it is hugely boring not having husks (this coming from someone who only does husks).

Sure thing, you have 5 free slots to play with. Your ideas will change over time though so be sure to leave a spot. I thought guard would be wonderful and while it is good and others love it I personally find it kind of meh. That is why I said earlier personal preference plays more of a role than which class/species to play.

Learn to dodge, best way not to get destroyed. What character/race you play is up to personal choice.

This is not whatever last game you left.
Speeding to the end is just that, you will get to the end fast.
Relax enjoy yourself.
Try various things, you may like them, you may hate them but try them.

So all of those posts that came out before the updated NPE did not mention how horrible leveling was and how people wished to skip it.

Again a thread about expansions… haven’t you heard? They don’t reveal any information about upcoming releases so we will get the expansion announcement a week before it’s released :P

Anet: “GW2 expansion coming next week!”
Players: “Wait what?”

I personally would not mind in the least if they did this.

“Nintendo style.” Anet announced GW2 five years before it was released… we’ll get the expansion announcement five months (or five weeks) before it’s released. :p

it really would be horrible if they did do that. that would mean they are going to release a very poorly marketed expansion, also not taking advantage of the anticipation to fuel sales/player numbers leading up to said expansion.

I suppose in theory one might get some sort of viral surprise reaction, but i doubt it can make up for the aforementioned losses of oppourtunity

5 months is enough for this, after a while the hype always goes away. A few years upfront is just annoying and old fashioned.

yes

3 mounts now, have fun with them.

Don’t want to play but want to fill up pages on the games forums with what frankly you will never get seems to be a disconnect with reality going on. Interesting.

I’d like to think that the goal of this thread, & other threads like it, is to get a better game. Maybe it will be Guild Wars 2; maybe it will be Dragon Age: Inquisition; maybe it will be something else. Whatever happens, at least our opinions are out there.

Opinion is great but if I was looking for what you want I would have no problem finding it. Just not in this game and they never have wanted to put it into this game.

Can the GW1 fanatics grow up already. It is really old.

I would not mind this either. Would be a lot of time to go over each one though for the company.

I have 1 silver doubloon but it’s not worth much in my server. 1G 79S

there is one market for NA and EU, that is the price. And only for a new player is maybe not only for a more experienced one.

sell it?

an option that is surprisingly complained about is to kill the enemy before they kill you. That is use dps as a defensive strategy. For me that is scepter/torch at slight range then jump in with greatsword, things are dead really fast.

It works, it does what they wanted it to do. We will never know if it does a better job of retaining after starter zones but frankly as I said before several times it has zero impact on me. I have created characters to get keys after and it takes longer because you need to be level 10, so it takes an hour instead of 20 minutes I really am not seeing anything to be upset about. As for megaserver I personally really think it was a good idea.

800 gems you can reset your race and story right now.

“Strange thing is, i had that “bandit buff” or whatever on me which made the bandits green mobs, but other players could attack and kill me. When i died and wanted to wp i simply revived there on the spot instantly. It was really weird. After i left that area the buff came off though.

Wait. WAIT WAIT WAIT. Anet has finally introduced dueling?! Thank heavens!

Except if you have that buff on, you can’t attack back, just stand there and beg them not to kill you cuz you’re not a mob :P

But i agree this mechanic could actually be used to introduce duels, after a bit of polishing ofc….

it was patched out.

love for this to happen.

Haishao.6851:

^ That’s not what sandbox is.
Think of GTA or The Elder Scrolls. Those are Sandbox games and are not competitive.
Sandbox is like a real sandbox, you go in and do what you want with the sand.

GW2 is a mild sandbox and it is perfect for casual since you can go at your own pace without really having to care about people getting ahead of you.
In a Themepark game you have to keep up with everyone if you want to play with them because they’ll have little to no reason to go back with you if you’re behind. Or they’ll come to rush you through and you’ll just miss everything.

The biggest problem people usually have with sandbox is that they don’t know what to do or where to go because there are no set path they have to follow. You tell them “do what you want” and they will ask “but what?”.

Which is a lot of people’s problem with gw2. Too much to do without being told, they get lost.

Before you could press 5 to capture before the health was low enough so the mob was dead before cool down was over. Now you can’t. Don’t think either way is incredibly intuitive.
Usually did not fight in the pits so can’t comment.

Or you know, go to the mists and PvP with people that really want to.

For me mesmer all the way. Could not figure out this whole hard to play until thing before or after updates. Very smooth levelling, for me it was faster and smoother than guard.

Liewec.2896:

but would a hardened leather sink actually hold any water?
why not just make your sink out of stone! :O

If you make a cauldron out of it you can boil the water and do the dishes so kind of a sink. Can also sell the wash water as a potion so some profit.

I don’t know, volume control works perfectly for me. Maybe send in a bug report.

I envy the ones who still have fun, really do. GG.

Why? There’s nothing wrong with you not having fun. It’s not really a big deal.

There is when GW2 tries to be jack of all trades but master of none.

No, there’s not. If the guy isn’t having fun then he’s not having fun. Its not compulsory. Plenty of people still are, plenty of people aren’t, plenty of people in degrees in between. It’s not really a big deal, its just a “thing”.

Sorry I edited my post, would have told you sooner but Daddy (Anet) changed how often I’m allowed to post.

Gosh from your post history I can’t imagine why.

Don’t wait around to kill things. There are usually three or four options, killing things is just one.

It is new then. Stun would work better.

Even better, they should BOW DOWN in the glorious presence of the level up.

Makes it easier to cave their heads in afterward.

Just an observation, dungeon style I won’t take part open world I will take part. Way I am built.

I want to say I agree that the spirit of GW2 is completing events in open world, not really instanced. Which is why there are so many world bosses.

But at the same time, theres a reason some of these fights are so simplistic. Designing encounters for an unknown number of players at any given time of unknown gear composition and unknown skill level is daunting. So they are watered down.

I understand that. Just for whatever reason the concept of dungeon holds my attention once that is all. Open world like teq and wurm I can and have done hundreds of times.

Clarify please, no idea what you are talking about.

Zera Allimatti.2541:

Please, Lion’s Arch deserved a better villain.

Did not say you needed to like her. Deserved is a very subjective concept.

Don’t think it needs to be changed.

Mrs cedo is correct, gem prices will only increase due to human nature.
