Guild Wars 2

Below is my guess,
Because KZW need money to run the game – > sell SAB skin – > SAB cannot open

Americans do not usually care about China’s server, in fact we are a community, we all want to play fun games, also hope to guild wars 2 will be successful.
And game company as can be plus or minus points to the game..Can say that The world of warcraft in mainland China’s early success, The nine city, The company is very careful and paid very much.Before that there is no any MMORPG to be successful in China.

Since a previous Chinese poster has already said the the Chinese version has less than 50,000 players I don’t see how it can survive. Surely it’s going to close down anyway. if it can’t pay the bills.

1, we have to pay once money game, so we can play to guild wars 2.If it has I need I will pay, if he is not good, I love to pay the studio.
2, this game is no longer popular in China, it is a fact.
3, another is the fact that why one hundreds of millions of people love to play PC games market guild wars 2 couldn’t succeed.World of warcraft and hero alliance is very successful.Most Chinese AFK players are waiting for ANET amplification, waiting for the HOT whether can succeed.Yes, I also so.
4, I am not happy because of KZW didn’t want to have a good business guild wars 2, play with possessions clown mocked, send you a few spherical spirit quality is super gift.Actually plugin has wiped out WVW, PVP now already a lot of plugins.The KZW reply is please avoid playing the player with plugins.

Very interesting system

1, this means that after the first three of these rich people no matter how to do illegal things in the game, will not get banned
2, do you know why didn’t the SAB open in April?Because KZW SAB skin sold large amount of money, that is the behavior of the Chinese operators is affect the US server.

You would be best served posting your issues in the forums for the Chinese client. You won’t get much support or even understanding here.

I just want to give you open mind ~ cherish us server

This is a link KDW district in guild wars 2 week activities in China?Top-up within a prescribed period of time the first player can obtain full glory, legendary front, and a box containing ghost shield.

Agents need to make money that don’t have anything to say,A few days ago I saw the beautiful clothing processing video player plugin,Although let people rejoice but doesn’t have anything to do with the Chinese server.

Chinese operators of foreign processing method in the following?

First write a crackdown on plugins statement online

Queries are then reported how players consumption, prepaid phone number of players and some of the studio account, no matter how to report and video will not be closure, of course, if the top-up first player means you can do any illegal things in the game

Similarly, operators have their own difficulties, GW2 itself play a single, thin game content has also led to the server can’t have a lot of players, lead to operators in financial difficulties.

Ok, I just want to say that you post when blow plugins? When to release the expansion? Average players too boring, nothing can be done.

PS:1, this means that after the first three of these rich people no matter how to do illegal things in the game, will not get banned
2, do you know why didn’t the SAB open in April?Because KZW SAB skin sold large amount of money, that is the behavior of the Chinese operators is affect the US server.

This is my guess based on the Chinese server and hidden rules

I wonder if OP could post the source of his claim that the current active Chinese players is less than 50k. That’s quite a drop from a year ago of 3.8 million.

http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=851365

Anet already said that this information is false. The numbers presented were characters created, not accounts.
This has been discussed countless times on these forums and others.

K

It still would have been interesting to see a source for the claim of less than 50k players, if there was one in English.

What he’s linking to is the Chinese version of Google, and specifically their analytics page (thank you alberte :V ). It’s showing an overall trend of 94% downward of people searching the game in comparison to last year (with a trend downwards of 2% of the searches still being made on a week per week basis).

While that’s not exactly true evidence of there being less players, that’s a pretty extreme trend of people not searching for the game.

Not really an extreme trend at all. The game launched in China last year on May 10th. Before then was the Betas, trials, and things of that nature. In fact, with it being a launching title, most cursory searches were to find out about the game to see if it was worth purchasing and investing into. After launch, why would people be searching for it as much? The same thing happened to western searches of the game as well after it launched. However, I’m certain that the trend will once again move upward when Heart of Thorns sets a release in China either after or during the EU/US one.

You say it’s a kind of situation, in addition to search game strategy and update the news, it can be hard to have new players to enter, illustrate the GW2 also lose enthusiasm in the game. Actually my guild, President, vice-presidents, officials, most of the members are left. On HOT now whether there will be substantially improved, otherwise back players will continue to leave quickly.

Certainly agree with you friend. Like Prototype mentioned, your concerns are also shared here, which I think speaks volumes regarding the state of the game. It crosses borders and two different cultures have the same opinions. What more do you need Anet?

I don’t think the young people in China and the United States, young people have too big difference, westernized Chinese young people very much, also love watching American movies and TV, play the game, if there is any different, so is the Chinese players almost only playing PC games and mobile games, PS and XBOX is very small like the Japanese young people to play.

If ANET hope LW may turn to a TV drama, so need to understand the Chinese way of watching TV series, in all of China’s TV drama are free, americans may set a week, and the Chinese is a day to see ten sets. Of course this is just a metaphor, that means ANET requires a lot of improve the efficiency of your work. LOL and WOW can be a huge success in China, GW2 cannot, then it must be a reason for that.

That is only an educated guess, but from perceiving at a distance (and the few chinese students I have known), there is a vast difference. Western people are completely enveloped in entitlement and “everyone is special” inclusive culture, the chinese mindset is more like the western one used to be 20 years ago. Western gaming audience is casual today, they approach gaming pretty much as they approach their whole lives. They don´t want to be invested in a game, they don´t enjoy acquiring skills or competence, they don´t want to achieve. They want to be diverted, not excited. As far as I know, that is very different from the asian market. So many things you bring up actually are making the game appealing to westerners.

Look at what you said let me have a new harvest, thank you very much, I think Chinese are just from one extreme to come out, under the communist ideology of a new generation of young people and the world at first, but from childhood to accept the education is still on 60 years ago that a set of “obedience” and “don’t need to be independent” grew up, blindly follow and lack of ideas.Younger than me, of course, some of the young people began to have more and more western.

I think the game is now part of the Chinese youth life, especially for students, they can not go to class (those who are behind in textbooks don’t know how many years), but not without games, play a game with a computer during the day, sleep go to bed with a mobile phone to play games, I think these young people are going to ruin.Of course this is part of is also a common phenomenon.So GW2 too leisure with nothing to do like this game is neglected.

kitten , young Chinese people can’t stop to read book more?

Everyone burnt out grinding ascended junk
I still have 4yrs to go to gear grind all of my 8 characters… that I hardly play any longer for being under-geared. No wait, I just don’t care any longer, I only play one now. I might spend the time getting another college degree.. or two, instead hehe. Too much of a time sink and I don’t want to unload huge loads of money into the gem store for them. I’m a core player, not hard-core and not casual. GW2 has seemed to try to take the two extremes, less in the middle where core players like to spend many years in.

Yes, active accounts are low here too. If we didn’t have megaservers, the game would be entirely unplayable apart from everyone guesting to a few servers. Well HoT is coming, but really should have been here a year ago, over a year ago. GW2 started bleeding active accounts the first year when they put off an expansion and started making temp content, and focusing on the gem store. Sadly for them I guess, I’m not much of a cash cow, I don’t fall into the impulsive youth category that most cash shops make most of their money from (casual and hard-core). Not cheap, just prefer to pay for expansions, then maybe a little more into the gem store. Well at least it’s not a full blown f2p, hate those, even a pure subscription game is far better. There are some left, won’t mention them here as an example.

Years ago, first expansion would make or break a game. Look at what happened to Earth and Beyond. EA pulled funding for an expansion and the game died. Then they just shifted all the funding to The SIMS Online (renamed EA Land), which flopped really hard. EnB was actually fun, but it just cried out for a real expansion.

Well, let the miracle workers work behind the scene, they may pull off a save. But between now and maybe then, yeah population will stay as it is, with some turnover as is the norm of the business. “Sometimes you just have to roll the hard six” -Adama

With American cultural reply I want to read some sweaty, but I noticed the gem store. Almost all of China’s domestic game has gem store, this let the game become don’t like game, more like some kind of violence, this is also the reason why I don’t want to enter the game company in China.

ANET actually spend a lot of time in gems shops, props are fewer CPU result in the second quarter of the game. Lead to loss of players. Actually China domestic game gem mall will sell the props is probably GW2 game props in more than 10 times.

But an MMORPG is based on the content of the game itself, not the player base will not be able to promote consumption, like American companies are thought of China to make money. In fact the Chinese people are very pay attention to reputation and quality. If a game for a long time not updated, or substantial playable content is too little, so players will leave quickly. If ANET want play gem mall, then make is equal to the quantity more than 5 times the skin now. Yes, game companies in China that was all day and night to work overtime production, and, of course, is what I hate.

Prototypemind.4026:

To be honest, most of what you said are a number of the complaints that players here have as well. Players are very much hoping for improvements and changes in direction with the upcoming Heart of Thorns release. Your concerns are definitely valid, and no surprise that they are universal.

These I understand, as to why to ask, because China’s agency KDW is very bad, if HOT can’t achieve good performance, then China’s agents might not give GW2 chance.

Sorry for my bad English to everyone read this .

I write this only hope GW2 could succeed in China .

Chinese server was start running in 5,1,2014. GW2 has sold 1.5 million copies,His price is $15. One year past. Every my friends was AFK. GW2 active players only less than 50000 people.

Chinese player who is playing WOW,still have Six hundred and seventy thousand.
Chinese player who is playing LOL,still More than twenty million.

Why would GW2 so failure in China?I think ANET Should have a good reflection.

The following are some of my ideas:
1 Chinese players is generally believed that this is a well-made games but have nothing to do.
2 The game rewards are very bad.
3 Almost all of the new skin is by buying rather than the game content.
4 Poor PVP qualifying system,Individual players to be a team player played badly.
5 WVW , let a person feel boring, until one day Plugin completely destroyed WVW.
6 Pets are too realistic, no desire to purchase and collection.

Some of my personal advice:
1 More powerful challenge,Five people can kill Zetan is foolish.
2 More dungeons or BOSS in the world,Can drop the careful design of the skin.The production of fine some BOSS model also please
3 SAB can a month or two months open once, like next to the dark in the circus.
4 KDW is a high selling SAB’s skin, in April this year did not open, is the result of your conspiracy?
5 To a once a week based on the occupation of the city’s war, it is very interesting.At the same time give special reward.
6 Please continue to improve PVP queuing system,Otherwise the new players will be less and less.
7 Where is true sense of the guild war? A guild can have 250 people, they also have the elite in the 30 people or so
8 Let the arms and the lion’s skin can be gained through the game content, can add some limitations.
9 For the role of PVP players to design new medal, let players can show in his own name, just like players hate VIP badge.
10 PVE area will allow players to a duel.
11 HOT in some special areas to allow Talking of cabbage players can kill contract team players.
12 I am super like GW1, but disappeared in GW1 many advantages in GW2.
13 If you want to earn more money, GW2 need larger player base, and Chinese players are rich enough and full of taste, rough design items, Chinese players is purchased.

Chinese server is waiting for ANET redemption.

Add a piece of advice?
Three different classes of players for a city or a regional territorial rights, only a week in a weekend at a specific time of war. This is based on Chinese history and novels. Now the WVW occupied the city but has no influence on PVE, to reward WVW player is also very low.

did anyone know that Chinese server was sold SAB skil about 288RMB,about 40 Dollar. Especially in April 1 to April 13.

Why Chinese severs have no solo rank?

Why Chinese severs have no solo rank?

Why Chinese severs have no solo rank?

An organized team can easily kill the player does not have the organization, and then win the game. As a team player can not be found is not fixed should never leave PVP

EmZiom.1836:

Hello, I bought gw2 long long time ago. More specifically I preodered it. And I was very very very VERY disappointed with:
-crashes
-empty servers
-no end game
-grind all the time (80 lvls?? Come on in gw1 there were 20. I could hit max lvl in 3 hours. In gw2 its much much longer)
-crafting – also grind
-dumb login procedure (every time I had to login onto my mail, I still have to)
-support not responding for tickets
-Boring classes (skills – small amount and all almost same [deal x dmg] )
-5x Guardian team so op
-No level scalling (80lvl character in 30lvl area is still stronger than 30 lvl character there)
-Gem shop news all the time
-Insane server structure (gw1 districts ftw)

So my question is:
Is anything improved right now? Or I have to wait for Guild Wars 3?
Or just play gw1 – best mmo ever made.

Thanks For Answers.

I argee with you, in Chinese server,Large number of players AFK

I think the loot is very very bad. Since my first time to Aether,cost 5 hours to defeat last boss, I break down all the loots. So, I never want to go to Aether any more. Made me so sad.
