each time someone gets upset with this game… and lets be honest its very often. almost Daily occurrence.
that person runs a risk of leaving the game out of anger or resentment.

i cant see how thats good buissness. i was taught that the Customer is always right.

and in this little community that we do have, we cant afford to lose more players.

we need more Real time Forum communication from a Dev or Rep ..

if we was given a day in the wee kto do this at a certain time ON THIS FORUM , ON THIS WEBSITE.

it would Fix soooooooooo many complaints

Actually it wouldn’t fix anything. if you look at other games, where there is more communication, what happens is the players end up yelling and having temper tantrums at the developers. It changes nothing.

Ive been there, i played WoW for 7 years.

The communication on the forums did both Good and Bad…

but all this NO communication is just doing BAD, nothing Good is coming out of the Silent treatment.

sometimes i feel that they have all moved away from Guild wars 2 and are concentrating on Wildstar..

i feel this because of the lack of communication and Dodging the questions in interviews

wouldn’t that put our minds to rest?

its funny because Derailing a conversations on their website will induce a Warning and thread being fracted.

Why no GvG ANet?

deathmatch 10v10
everyone gets 2 lifes.

res ability like warbanner only effect 1 person. not 5.

kill each other until the team left standing wins.

i think this GvG issue could be solved by giving us a 10v10 map designed about deathmatch.

give each character a 1 extra life. when all players have had all their lifes taken ( res abiltys)
the team left standing wins.

if you die twice. ur out for the entire match.

2 years of development and all we got
-www ranks(lets forget waiting almost a year for account-bound ranks , just few minutes of silence )
-different colors of cmd tag 0_0 rly ? only this ? I can do that in paint in 5 minutes + 10 minutes of programing it . where is new squad system ?
-few new traps on www
-pvp dungs track (actually it was easy to implement , they had everything since the begining of gw2 )
-wardrobe(cool finally good stuff )
-megaserver(good stuff but maybe because population is so low )
-fractals(which are easy ,entire pve is easy so why we should be suprised ?)

I already said that in different topic ,instead of living story updates give us first balancing,fixing updates .
-fix ai on pve
-fix zerker meta on pve
-fix www , dont give us crap rainbow tags who cares about it ?!
-fix pvp BALANCE,new maps,game modes

Then give us living story update when this game is fixed and playable but I understand that all $$$ are coming from all 2days people who come for living story and then leave for 2 weeks . I am in 2 guild 1 in pure www and in this guild we have solid numbers but i am also in community polish guild and i can see how many people come only for living story it is around 70% of this guild(something around 50 people )

in my Eye a Feature Patch is something like the following.

- new maps
- new character skills
- new pvp modes ( capture the flag, defend and conquer)
- new weapons

you get the idea… NEW things… not added colours for a commander tag… or cosmetic skins… we get those in normal patchs….

New maps won’t be part of a feature patch because they’re content not a feature. The idea of a feature patch is to introduce quality of life type updates…not new zones.

New skills and PvP modes and weapons however can be part of a feature patch.

i hope they read this post and make notes. i dont want to see this franchise die out :/

i loved Guild Wars 1, but gw2 seems too … Restrictive. maybe that is because of NCsoft? or Wildstar?

i dont know, but i hope you are Correct Vayne. i hope we get NEW things like pvp modes and weapons/ skills

Hopefully what they announced so far isn’t the most important WvW update of the feature patch because:

a new PvP armor = not a feature
generic PvP characters = not necessary
300g colored commander tags = what?! 300g for a feature the community proposed 2 years ago?

So far for me it’s a complete let down.

Agree so much.
none of that is worthy of a Feature patch.

what im saying is.. if we had more frequent Feature patchs.. for example once every month or 2..

our playerbase would be alot Bigger.

players would feel like we are getting content and new things. it feels like a safe money/ time investment.

in all honesty. the September patch will Bolster our Playerbase numbers through the roof.
not enough to get out of 8th place but enough to warranty a feel of a good Community.

however that soon fades when people leave 2-3 weeks after.

when a free to paly game has to reduce its Price on the game by half it indicates that there is a Playerbase problem.

Free to play games can’t reduced their price because .. they are FREE .. so no price.

And else .. i think there are not really much games that sell their boxes for full price
still after 2 years or never had them on sales.

“Free to play games can’t reduced their price because .. they are FREE .. so no price.”
the retail price is not free.
that is what i was talking about, please re-read.

its a common way to try and get more people into the game.

before you get all emosh with what ive said really sit ther and think about why Anet do the things they do.

Mega servers
Reduced Retail price
china release
CDI posts
Gemstore maniplulation

they are milking this for as long as they can.. but we are declining.

if i could somehow get all the IRL money back that i had spent on Gw2. i would do it in a heart beat and not look back.

thats why i straight up refuse to spend anything on the gemstore. because in the long run. those things on the Gemstore are worth NOTHING.

Content > cosmetics.

without content, it would just be a social Chatbox game like 2nd life.

Vayne… you litteraly just said people come here FOR cosmetic items….

and you tell me that i can talk for everyone..

dont be a hypocrit.

I don’t think it’s hypocritical to say that people came here for what the game was advertised to be. They said there wouldn’t be gear progression like in other games as a feature of the game.

If I said people came here to play Asurans or Sylvari, well yeah, because this is where you find Asura or Sylvari (and in no other game).

You’re speaking for people in contrast to what this game was sold as. That means you’re playing the wrong game. Stat creep is one of the worst things to happen to MMOs.

So is tying the cosmetic rewards that are GW2’s endgame behind 100% RNG or paywall….

I got nothing against making cosmetics the endgame, just the fact that acquiring them is done extremely poorly.

I’m not talking about those silly backpack skins they keep introducing in a new LS chapter… Most ppl want a chance at the good stuff (the armor skins in gemstore, frac skins, etc)… but they can’t unless they
a) pay $$
b) farm keys and pray to RNGesus or
c) farm gold through daily dungs, etc and just buy them directly from TP, which is really fun right!?

Most ppl didn’t leave when ascended gear came out lol, a ton of ppl had already left anyways.. its because of how atrocious the reward system is in GW2…that and that lack of attention anet had for PvP/WvW

Agree so much…… and a ton of people that left is an understatement.
thats why they introduced mega servers.

for those who say how do i know everyone is upset, i never said that, i said many people, or people meaning a bunch of people, i also stated my opinion. I dont think everyone shares my opinion, but i feel its a decent amount.

snip

I will rescind slightly though, because upon looking at the page, i thought they had given titles for all the content, but some says coming soon. So it is theoretically possible that the ones that are unrevealed are gold.

hopefully so, because in truth the game has a lot of potential, and a lot of good traits. But its now pretty stagnant. And much of the recently released stuff doesnt seem to be reinvigorating the game.

I can’t tell you over the past two years how many times during a vague event announcement or upgrade announcement I was hopeful like so many other engineers that finally at long last the simplest of requests would finally be fixed only to find out that they either made the class worse than before or that they went completely overboard with a “balance decision” like with Kit Refinement or the multiple nerfs to Grenade Kit. I won’t be holding my breath. There’s an entire list of things in multiple threads I posted a while back that they are free to read in their archive if they want me back or want my cash they’ll do it. Simple really.

Same thing for mesmers… Same thing with based blink. lightning flash skills, same thing with a bunch of things they need to fix. But they say their focus is on improving core gameplay. Then there focus is on enhancing WvW, or PvP, which is also affected by “core gameplay”. Enough already, get your ducks in a row, focus on fixing your core issues instead of turning the out living world content, if that’s what your saying your doing. Stuff is broken, almost every game i played that had an out-of-range deal had a limit to how far you can go with it, not the “out of range” pop-up or red circle anet uses.

We can and should demand these things, it’s lazy programming and if anet wants to be held to a higher standard, then they need to fix this stuff. If you’re going to do CDI’s then make them be something other that wasted space on the forums or say that simply can’t happen.

Do you find it amazing that people keep saying these incessantly positive things yet the most basic of fixes still haven’t been done by this team over and over again? Like somehow people think that these patches are actually addressing the core issues and why would they give praise for work when the most basic of problems still exist after 2 years?

Seen a large majority asking for things in the CDIs and it’s like they ignore them for the 1-2% of people who want something overboard that’s a new problem opposed to the long standing central issues some of which have been there since BWE2.

i agree.
they control everything… even the Economy ingame has been corrupted by anet so that we the players buy more gems.
everyone would blame the players that hoard gold to gems exchange but its not their fault.

a buisness like ANET, the only goal they have is finding a way to sink our gold and make us spend more money.

when you look at the larger picture in the long run a P2P game is much better. taking into consideration the content and things you actually get for your money. comapred to how Gw2 just give us Cosmetic Skins…..

People came here FOR cosmetic skins. Many people object to anything BUT cosmetic skins. You’re playing the wrong game, methinks.

People came here to play a game actually… not collect a wardrobe of skins.

Glad you can talk for everyone. Do you know that Guild Wars 1 players were completely against ascended gear (for the most part). Many left this game when ascended gear was released.

you must of misunderstood me i dont want stat creep. i just want more content and more depth.. for 2 years i feel its very very very slow development

WoW hasn’t had any content for a year.
ESO failed before it even launched.
SWTOR went F2P, and so did Rift.

Do explain how a P2P model is better.

And I’d rather have the OPTION to buy a completely useless hat than be forced to pay 15$ just to log in.

WoW does an expac every year.. its how they add content.. but they also Patch every month..
that is not a comparison. thats a statement.

im comparing MMORPG’s that are still very much active and alive..

there’s a reason why WoW will say its Playerbase numbers and Gw2 will not.
even China dont play gw2 anymore.

Im not even knocking the LS and the feature packs, but im saying, if this is indiciative of what we can expect for the future, it wont be enough to keep me, and a number of other players engaged.

The numbers would suggest otherwise. The most recent assessments suggests that a GW2 player averages slightly less than $4 a month on the game. That is a far cry from the usual $15 a month subscription.

i guess we get what we paid for then..

slow temp content with nothing but Skins and mini pets.. with a corrupt Gold to gem exchange

and £8.50 minimum spend on gems.

Same thing for mesmers… Same thing with based blink. lightning flash skills, same thing with a bunch of things they need to fix. But they say their focus is on improving core gameplay. Then there focus is on enhancing WvW, or PvP, which is also affected by “core gameplay”. Enough already, get your ducks in a row, focus on fixing your core issues instead of turning the out living world content, if that’s what your saying your doing. Stuff is broken, almost every game i played that had an out-of-range deal had a limit to how far you can go with it, not the “out of range” pop-up or red circle anet uses.

We can and should demand these things, it’s lazy programming and if anet wants to be held to a higher standard, then they need to fix this stuff. If you’re going to do CDI’s then make them be something other that wasted space on the forums or say that simply can’t happen.

Do you find it amazing that people keep saying these incessantly positive things yet the most basic of fixes still haven’t been done by this team over and over again? Like somehow people think that these patches are actually addressing the core issues and why would they give praise for work when the most basic of problems still exist after 2 years?

Seen a large majority asking for things in the CDIs and it’s like they ignore them for the 1-2% of people who want something overboard that’s a new problem opposed to the long standing central issues some of which have been there since BWE2.

i agree.
they control everything… even the Economy ingame has been corrupted by anet so that we the players buy more gems.
everyone would blame the players that hoard gold to gems exchange but its not their fault.

a buisness like ANET, the only goal they have is finding a way to sink our gold and make us spend more money.

when you look at the larger picture in the long run a P2P game is much better. taking into consideration the content and things you actually get for your money. comapred to how Gw2 just give us Cosmetic Skins…..

People came here FOR cosmetic skins. Many people object to anything BUT cosmetic skins. You’re playing the wrong game, methinks.

People came here to play a game actually… not collect a wardrobe of skins.

for those who say how do i know everyone is upset, i never said that, i said many people, or people meaning a bunch of people, i also stated my opinion. I dont think everyone shares my opinion, but i feel its a decent amount.

Im not even knocking the LS and the feature packs, but im saying, if this is indiciative of what we can expect for the future, it wont be enough to keep me, and a number of other players engaged.

As far as saying what i want? new maps, new proffessions, new zones, new weapons new game modes, new challenges etc.

I will rescind slightly though, because upon looking at the page, i thought they had given titles for all the content, but some says coming soon. So it is theoretically possible that the ones that are unrevealed are gold.

hopefully so, because in truth the game has a lot of potential, and a lot of good traits. But its now pretty stagnant. And much of the recently released stuff doesnt seem to be reinvigorating the game.

I can’t tell you over the past two years how many times during a vague event announcement or upgrade announcement I was hopeful like so many other engineers that finally at long last the simplest of requests would finally be fixed only to find out that they either made the class worse than before or that they went completely overboard with a “balance decision” like with Kit Refinement or the multiple nerfs to Grenade Kit. I won’t be holding my breath.

WvW was ripped from WoW.

Tol Barad and Wintergrasp were the First WvW.

so you cant say that gw2 was unquie in a pvp sense.

theres so much potentional for this game… but the Team behind guild wars 2 aren’t in any rush to change it.

we all want new and better things but we need to face the facts. nothing will change.

its why WoW has been the king for years and years. Blizzard adapts and changes and it remains fun.
p.s for those that say WoW is a gear grind.. you are practically given really good gear now. so there is no grind. hell you can pve in pvp gear haha.

Exotic Pets – You may take control of exotic creatures, exotic pets deal more damage and move 30% faster

How To Ranger without Pet combat..

in Ranger

Posted by: Zardul.3952

Zardul.3952

what the title says.
This is how i use my pet without putting it into combat for it to die.

set pet to passive.
use only the following pets:

- Jungle cat (Might stack)
- Moa ( protection boon )
- Pig ( Item pick up )
- Boar ( item pick up )
- Warthog ( item pick up )
- Bear ( condi remove)

The idea is to benefit from the f2 ability, if needed use the pet as a shield or a Downed Finisher.

did i just see what i thought i saw…

was that Mursaat in the cinematic?

Fun Fact: the mursaat enslaved the Asura who worked for them ( ok im no sure about this.. just checked)

Fun fact: Rata Sum if you move the letters around spells Mursaat

fun fact:
When the titans first emerged from behind the Door of Komalie, one of the mursaat, Lazarus the Dire, survived by splitting himself up into several aspects and sealing them within members of the White Mantle, disguising them as blessings. Six years later, after the threat of the titans had passed, Lazarus returned to reclaim these aspects, finding that reclaiming them killed their hosts. The host of the final aspect, Justiciar Naveed, sought the help of the asura Glayvin in the desperate hope that they could remove the aspect without the loss of his life. This was not possible, however, but they did manage to damage the aspect, meaning that when Lazarus absorbed it into himself, its power turned on him and severely wounded him. Lazarus fled, vowing vengeance on “countless generations”. Not long after, the final few mursaat were killed in the Battle for Lion’s Arch, and the race have not been seen since. gw2 wiki

  • Pokes Living story team.. wheres our free in-game Waffles?*

How come our chefs can’t make waffles? Do Tyrians not know how to make them?
Waffles totally need to become an ingame food (not sure what the buff should give though).

This is an example of where I’d like to see some cross crafting. Armorsmith or weaponsmith needs to make the waffle iron, then it can be given to a chef to make waffles.

And no buff. Instead, it becomes an item you double click to leave a plate of waffles on the ground. All nearby enemies rush to it. Then you kill them, because they just ate all your waffles. (This part is a joke, by the way.)

Or just use the weaponsmith to craft the waffle iron, and use it as a weapon.

im the Waffle MANNNNN !!… oooo yeah…

best. idea. ever.
