Guild Wars 2

The only problem you may run into is if you record and then upload that video. In game busking would not be a problem.

You have 5 slots to play with and level 5 is not enough time to develop any real idea of how any of the proffs play.
My preference after getting all 8 proffs to 80 are ele, mesmer, ranger and necro not in any order. Less favourite is guard, warrior, theif and engie but that is just me. Engie is what I play in WvW and it works well for me there, don’t find the joy in warrior and while guard can survive just about anything it is not a lot of fun. Theif I had the least fun leveling but once to 80 it can be ok, just not my top pick to play during a session.

Restarting seems to have cleared it, but kind of strange.

Just started happening, AVAST opens when I open the TP and says that it is doing a deep scan of a file. The TP then does not load correctly. This happens even when switching options in the TP (buy to sell to gems etc).

It is not our business to know how A.Net allocates their teams of developers.

Why do we need to know this?

Because I want to know if the things I love doing the most have anyone working on them at all. I was super excited when the Aether path came out! And I was really hoping that there would be an armor set associated with it. I’m okay if it takes a long time for something to come out – I want the devs to feel like they got it just right and I want to feel like even if I don’t agree with them that they gave it their best. I’ll probably keep running the old dungeons/JPS/exploring old areas, but this is some of the stuff I love most about this game.

being curious about something is not the same as having any right to know anything about it.

Play the game. This post is at the top of this forum.

It is not about switching in combat which attunements and kits do really well. It is about switching out of combat. There is a big difference and few here are even mentioning in combat switching.

You can get keys at any time you want. Takes 20 minutes, even just learning how it takes 30 min.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

You are more than welcome to spend an hour organizing 6 commanders and trying to coordinate 50 people and then invite random pugs who might mess up all the work and waste your time for free if you want.

People who are willing to pay are much more likely to follow directions. There are lots of pavillion maps just waiting for you to organize them and spend your time and money to activate them.

No one is forcing you to pay, people pay because they don’t want to do the work themselves.

Have, it does not take an hour.

If people would organize in the instance they arrive in there would be less of an issue. They don’t so instead they pay for some bizarre reason.

I wouldn’t mind an out of combat weapon swap system at all.

Create your own groups.

Illumnination or Redemption maybe. Even banana on light armour looks gold.

^ Yeah that’s pretty much what I mean.

If you’re still on the forums, you haven’t quit this game.

Some players still watch the forums because they want a reason to come back, because they like the core game. But the updates and “features” added to the game since launch have shown them that the devs intend to go in a direction that is very clearly against what they wanted the game to be. Sometimes it’s hard to let go of something you wanted to believe in, so you check from time to time to see if anything changed. It hasn’t? Well maybe in another 2-3 months.

If the game has not gone in the direction people enjoy in more than a year and a half chances are incredibly high that they will continue not to change in the direction they want. Reading and posting on the forums then is kind of counter productive for everyone involved.

Abusive relationships are tricky business.

Only if an actual relationship exists.

If players left for reasons they thought where good ones they would not be hanging around the forums to read posts like this.

You seem to have a very hazy grasp of what motivates a company and what motivates players other than yourself. Good luck with your suggestion though.

As long as they keep the updates flowing and don’t sacrifice forward movement for permanence.

OPEN world CONTENT is going to take a HUGE hit. Expect LESS things like the MARIONETTE encounter, and more like the personal storyline-like instanced content that NO ONE even REMEMBERS.

Not to mention how, IRONICALLY, they’re killing the concept of a LIVING world. If the changes to the OPEN world won’t disappear, what’s the POINT in having a STORYLINE? Imagine how it would be if players defeated SCARLET but her ARMIES never stopped INVADING a given map? Or if she NEVER stopped appearing in the MARIONETTE content even after we had DEFEATED her?

ArenaNet DOESN’T know how to AVOID extremes. Having the ENTIRE season 1 based around TEMPORARY content was Bad. Having the ENTIRE season 2 based around PERMANENT content is BAD, too.

Guys, guys, this dude is using caps in some words!! He must know about this!! We must agree with him!!!

PD: I still don’t kwow what’s that Marionette thing that people talks about? Do you eat it?

Mationette was a big kitten open world fight that required 5 teams to coordinate, and to understand the individual boss fight mechanics. It was fun kitten! I would have absolutely loved to see that stay as a world boss, but sadly, it didn’t.

Youtube a few videos of it.

Marionette continued for 2 weeks after EOTM was released. The day EOTM was released was the last day marionette was done successfully on a regular basis (it had a 2 hour spawn rate). Before it was released it was done regularly on Aurora Glade from 13:00 to late in the evening.
What I am getting at is that if it was permanent it probably would be done like teq and the wurm before megaserver, after megaserver it would be fine.

On my server, marionette was successful through the very last day. I miss that fight.

It was successful, it just went from being successful for about 12 hours per day to being successful once per day. With the schedule introduced now it would make no difference but back then it made a very big difference.

Stormcrow.7513:

I was in TTS, got many kills, got my titles and then realized that the wait, coupled with hoping you get into a server with the rest of TTS was just too much hassle to bother anymore.
I haven’t done wurms or teq in ages since they are not worth the time if you are not in a TTS instance.
To each his/her own, if they want to wait and hope for a .000001% chance of an asc drop, but for me I just won’t bother anymore.
It is too bad really because the events are fun, I can only hope that people get better individually at the metas since it will only help random megaservers.

Don’t do Teq on a TTS server and your odds of getting in and getting a group that is good enough to kill it is really good. Just run around killing things on that map instead of a different map for 40 min. Wurm is a different story.

While I would love it if every release would be so interesting I would be willing to do it endlessly that just won’t happen. Doesn’t matter that I really enjoy this game there have been releases that I just did not play because they did not appeal to me. If someone joins in a year there is going to be tons of write-ups about which releases are better than others, which are must haves and which you can completely skip over and not pay a dime. The total cost would not be 200 x all releases it would be 200 x the most popular releases for the most part.

My perspective on ‘Hardcore’ also appears to be extremely skewed from every one else – I came here from Eve Online, where baiting and evil behavior are not just legal, but encouraged by their Devs. IMNSHO, absolutely nothing will beat Eve at being hardcore (well, maybe Second Life, but that’s a different discussion).

There are other reasons as to why EVE just so happens to be a tad bit more hardcore than anything else, their players actually make demands when something isn’t right. Even the “white knights” in EVE doesn’t just sit back and watch as CCP attempts to introduce things that are not what the players feel are within the spirit of the game; The prime example being Monoclegate.

Several people have lost their jobs in Iceland, being open to the whims of the players is no guarantee you will be able to pay your rent.

Defend.9678:

Thanks for the great data you provided and clear argument you proposed.
No-one but the devs have any idea what is going to happen to wait until you find out the facts before going on a silly rant.

Nah, silly rants don’t work as well if you actually have information. Not saying they can’t be done/are not done, just not as easily.

Treize.3578:

Any updates here?

A work around is being used now, I am not sure if it will be good for the event though.

A side effect of the change is that now the method used disrupts not only eggs but husks. If/when it is perfected it will mean no need for specific condi groups and just waiting for damage phase to burn the vet grubs that slip through if any at all do. Actually reduces diversity as a consequence.

The definitions of depth vary so much to be meaningless.
From my game play of wildstar, you can combine your own skills with other players, you can combine your skills with environmental effects (certain ‘plants’/areas that do damage or heals depending on your chosen path). I personally did not find the combat amazing but I did not find the game itself amazing either. Several people have and do find it amazing and is the type of game you need to experience yourself to get a good impression.

Arzo.8671:

I just used the Tab button. I believe it’s preset to target the nearest enemy.

Yes, but the nearest line of sight enemy, if one is off to your side or behind it will not be targeted. I use it as well but you need to be aware of where things are.

TheDaiBish.9735:

It doesn’t say anywhere though that this is all LS2 is going to be.

I’m just not going to get my hopes up… ANet has a history of hyping releases that only end in disappointment.

Hype, hmmm. If they do not release any more information than now they will be accused of massive hype.

Incoming rage threads saying content is too hard

I wouldn’t mind GW2 making me loose every now and then when I’m feeling too tight.

‘Shake it off’ is pretty loose.

I’m going to waste no time pointing out the sheer number of F2P games that have great expansion size content 3-4 times a year with 0 subscription and exactly 0 of them use DR against their players, 0 of them have a AH focused system of loot acquisition (even in one that has Ferengi mind you) and exactly 0 of them hate farmers and in fact encourage them. Their economies and profits have been great for years in some cases.

Oh, I would love to hear about a couple of those, because I can’t really find any of them.

He won’t waste time with specifics, wasting time is just for vague comments.

Danikat.8537:

What happened to the Frostgorge train? I’ve been mapping the area on and off over the last week or so and there’s always a train there. It doesn’t seem to be as many people as there were in Queensdale but I put them down to “players” who want to mindlessly farm champions being split between there, Orr and the Pavillion.

Nothing happened to the Frostgorge train. You need to actually get there first though and finding your way around a map if you only did queensdale is hard.

Please enjoy your time in Wildstar, but if you don’t mind just leave this game alone.

My Hope is that the pro duel crowd will enjoy Wildstar so much that they will forget about us here.

Edit: clarity

No, no, no! You be a nice partner community and keep your compulsive forum demanders/complainers to yourself! We already have our first favorites over there and they are quite sufficient :P

Nah, sharing is good

people are quitting the game because…
If I had a penny for every time that was written in any game at any time with nothing at all to back up the claims I would be seriously wealthy.

Saylu.8271:

News flash!! You can buy gem and sell them for gold. Why do you pay to farm gold when you can pay to get gold directly? Are people addicted to farming?

People are addicted to doing things the way they have done things in the past.
The concept that you posted would not be acceptable because they did not do that before.

all proffs can be done almost exactly the same speed.

There is a mount thread that keeps getting filled by wonderful ideas, please add this to that and delete this.

Nateeight.1498:

Woops, I’ve been deleting stacks of this crap that has been plaguing my bank for a long time. Had to purchase a new bank tab just to make room for it.

Just like the 10 luck drops that we have to spam click, anet needs to lessen the drop rate, and lessen the recipe requirements. Otherwise, others are in the same boat as me with stack of this stuff, and bloodstone bricks coming out the roof.

It’s just as annoying as the 10 luck we have to spam click, instead of lessening drop rate and keeping luck drops to 50 only.

Artificer look it up.

grenade engi with condition build probably.

Mishee.5719:

Can I see how much money I had in total on my character/account and stuff like that. I remember you had that in the begining of the game.

The running maximum total gold is just used for the ‘golden’ title. Once you have reached 200 gold it does not count it anymore.

They returned to the price they where before the WvW season. It is the same as far as I know to transfer within NA/EU as between those, you can see all the servers under the transfer tab in the loading screen

30 minutes before and you still have a very good chance of finding people who know what to do or are willing to learn. 5 minutes before and you get the people who think you just go in, hit it and get your chest 1 minute later.
Don’t assume because there are no commanders things are not being organized, also watch out for maps with 4 commanders where no one is trying to organize.

They added new POIs for several living world stories, in Lions Arch, Divinity Reach, Kessix etc. Also the POIs from guild jumping puzzles.

You transferred just to see what? Now you are complaining that your sightseeing trip is going to cost you?
Wait for the next WvW season and they are sure to put in free transfers out of highly popular servers and in to mid level servers again.

Too bad there wasn’t a central thread to discuss something like this a… Cartha Thread or something.
