Guild Wars 2

update your graphic drivers then see what it looks like. It should not look like that at all.

set your language to only accept from other English clients. You will be inconvenienced but hey you won’t have those nasty foreign people on your chat.

Wouldn’t complain much? They wrote clearly that it was a hoped for thing and may not happen due to many different things. You would complain about it but not much if they came on again (as they did do) and say things are pushed back?

A hoped for thing?? They made an entire blog post using the words “What you will see in 2013”, not “What we hope you will see in 2013”

Read it again.

Why not just ask for new traits and explain how they could be useful?

Ok you are aware of priorities. Go up to your boss and say ‘this company is off course’. Small company maybe sit down over a beer and discuss what you mean. Larger company get a memo that this is our focus please keep up the good work. Very large company the exit sign lights up. Any way you look at it unless you give really concrete examples of where it goes wrong and how you are right you will be tilting windmills.

Every game can and does copy anything and everything from other games. The question is only what actually works within the game and what is easier to implement. It also depends on where the company actually wants to go. People keep saying things are easy, they are not or else they would have been in the game a long time ago.
They put in what they think are high priority and can get working. People can scream ‘they are wrong/lazy/incompetent’ all they want but if it does not work or is not a high priority it is not getting into the game anytime soon or at all.

A friend of mine just picked up Dawn and 2 Dusks in 15 minutes… so don’t tell me about bad and good luck accounts

Would guess they got them from the mystic forge so the question is then how many people where also using the forge and did not get anything of value. Also how many times did they get nothing in the past. People win lotteries multiple times, does not mean the lottery is bent.

cheshirefox.7026:

they need to make jumping puzzles that are
difficult and challenging content
vs
“i’m never going to do that again”

The zone is less annoying on level than the ascalon wall jumping puzzle. Approach any jump from the right side and they are straightforward.

Tinfoil is so 60s titanium is best.

well my guildies and i asked for a pet pony therefore arena net must deliver

Your comment is useful as a "miner helmet powered by solar energy ".
Thanks for your trolling

Confirmed! Solar powered helms for ponies !

Not anywhere near a last chance for me. There are several who are on about their 100th weekly last chance post but meh they exist everywhere.

Mini pet is not really a companion, just for looks. It can be found when you open your bank, second choice down on left hand side, this is all your collected material and other mini-pets you get through the game.
Other things you get will come as a mail, top of screen envelop.

I don’t do a lot of world bosses but the Wurm in bloodtide still occasionally does not drop the gold chest. The random times I do the others I do get them. You may just do them often enough to spot the bug.

dying again? dying in a different way than it has been dying for the past 2 years? zombie invasions?
Sorry but with all this and that is dying or killing something else you really need to clarify which variant of dying or dead or soon dead is involved.

Two of my favourites, slightly very very slightly more fun on my mesmer.

wow, mounts, duels, and cantha threads all within 24 hours. How lucky can you get?

Play and find out. Takes a couple of minutes of your time.

Who are you asking? The people on forums who have no clue but will be happy to spend hours discussing it? Or are you directing this at someone who does have the numbers but will not post on forums?

The max for teq and wurm is 150, the max for pavillion is about 40. They do this so that the players for the most part are not looking at stillshots on the screen instead of video, and in the case of pavillion so it is not just a question of zerg tactics. You can force your own instance by all going to the map at the same time, this fills up semi capped maps and creates new ones.

Saved as in it will find religion? Saved as in some people don’t like it and will suddenly like it? I hope it never finds god and I know there will be people who do not like it so I guess it will never be saved.

Fuji.6284:

From my experience of opening many black lion chests in the past, they’re a real waste of gems. I’m amazed people are still willing to run for keys with a very low chance of getting anything good out of it. The desperation is real here.

Desperation? People want to kill time in a way they want to and you have a problem with that? Do a key run, chat with people, do a boss chain/dungeon, it is all the same, a time sink, nothing else.

Nice but maybe you will get overwhelmed by whispers.

The myth is that ranger is horrible in every way. People believe the myth.

I miss…

… full thread titles that aren’t semi-clickbait.

You know it is going to be a GW1 dream fest repeating the same things over and over. Always have Barbra Streisand and that horrible song floating in my head every time I read a thread like this.
I would not miss having that tune in my head at all.

They have been hit before, they will be hit again. It is how it works. They pay a ton of money to try to prevent and minimize the effects as does every other company that depends on the internet for their income. Mostly they win, sometimes they lose and they learn for the next one.

Vesivian.1629:

Thank you for the prompt responses guys! Just another curiosity of mine.. between the EU and NA servers, which is the more populated one?

Not really sure, I think NA but since no figures are released no one can say for sure. It also depends on what time of the day you want to play.

First it is not the same game as GW1, several on forums have not gotten this even yet.
Second mega server is the games name for creating instances of each map based on population instead of which server you are from.
Third with the way the game is set up you cannot be ‘too late’. Set some goals, see what you like and do it.

define expansion then read what the company defines as expansion. If the two match great, otherwise the forums are filled with people who cannot accept what they don’t agree with.

Well simply put an expansion in my mind is something like nightfall or for rts yuri’s revenge , old school expansion where you get a huge new persistent map and quests and gear etc , not these incremental add ons.

Ah, it not going to happen that way though.

Can’t tell if serious, trolling, or batsht crazy

the last from past conduct.

add this to the current mount thread instead of more clutter.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Remember when they scrapped the Precursor Scavenger Hunt idea long ago, and told us they did so? Remember when they replaced the idea (which was all it was) with possible Percursor Crafting? Remember when they announced they were re-working the Precursor Crafting idea because of the change to how rewards would be implemented?

This has to be the saddest thing I’ve ever heard. And to think you’re trying to use it as a sort of HUZZAH!

The op is written as if what they wanted was still an option. It is not, it will not be and has been publicly clarified that it will not happen.

“2) Tune the game’s instruments to be in the same key.”

This is not how instruments work. Different instruments are set in different keys intentionally.

I would be more happy if they tuned them to not work in the hands of the unskilled…..Thank ANET for the silence instruments setting.

Well…. only so much that they can do there. I mean, yes it’s a game (so we can shut the sound off), but it’s not really any different than people that pick up instruments and play them horribly in real life.

Real life has tomatoes for a reason.

rofl

You mean they have uses other than to be sliced and put on bread with miracle whip after being freshly picked? gasp

;)

That is the strangest bruschetta recipe I have ever heard of.

Oh no, what will I do without my 2 silver!?

(Is it 2 silver actually? I’ve never payed attention because of how insignificant it is)

If you round up to the nearest silver, yes. The playerbase will go bankrupt overnight.

Bankrupt? Seriously?

/rollseyes
/facepalm

I think that post was heavy with sarcasm…….

I’m not sure about that. Considering his reply to what the person above said and his first post in this thread was:

Boneheart.3561:

I may have to unsubscribe. TrashNet strikes again.

It was very heavy sarcasm. It works but not for all (note the unsubscribe bit).

Don’t think I have ever groveled for anything in my life, and I absolutely don’t think what you posted as being things necessary to play.

The game update page has all times listed in UTC. Not sure why people are still confused.

But the UTC times are wrong.

Karkla Queen was 20:00 CEST which is UTC +2. Notes say the queen will be 19:00 UTC. I think they forgot to implement the summertime since they listed PST instead of PDT.

UTC does not have summer or winter time.

How?

Shanaeri Rynale.6897:

UTC is the new fangled ’don’t want the centre of time to be london’ version of GMT. Just go to a timezone conversion site and do the maths

Just use server time under options in game. Server time is UTC.

No you cannot access off server. They may change that toward the end of the year.

Mac.3872:

You`re comparing a game in Alpha testing to an almost 2 year old game? oO

gg.

It was released years ago in Korea. Only Alpha testing in NA market since Trion got the rights to distribute it.

I thought everything was open world PvP. Only thing I would take from the game are the gliders.

All servers have since the middle of May been combined into mega-servers (multiple instances of the same map created as population increases). This mean there is no fixed server that you would join to get a greater chance of meeting people from a specific area. Pick a server and look for an Italian guild or two and meet others that way.

Not yet, they seem to rotate a lot of things so probably before the end of summer.

New areas are coming, since every single map/event map to date has at least 1 jumping puzzle I would kind of guess the new ones will have them as well.

It’s easy is an amazing thing.

There is a spot reserved in the schedule for a ‘lesser’ boss. They could drop the Queen into that and insert a new meta boss along the lines of Teq and Wurm in the new areas or even old areas of the game. Or they may put a new minor boss into the schedule and update the Queen. Could wait and see what happens.
