Guild Wars 2

Give it something else besides the stealth. That kind of thing should not be in a game like this. Give the thief some attack speed or whatever, stealth is just so lame kitten .

Luiz Swordbreaker.6547:

Let’s just hope that PAX security doesn’t allow entrance with torches and pitchforks

:D
I do not envy the devs who want to talk to gw2 players about wvw.

Because mesmer is nowhere near the mesmer in gw1. Mesmer in gw1 could destroy or shutdown entire mobs.

But today I see the new update and it felt like a slap to face Sopranos ending.

. . . you mean Lost’s ending, right? Or that terrible show with Scott Bakula? I forget what the name of it was . . .

Quantum leap was a brilliant series!!!

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

Rubbish. Why would anyone make a site that doesn’t use the web standard, and thus can’t be read by Firefox OR internet explorer? I’m not going to install a new browser just to watch two videos of just a few seconds.

Just use the web standard you dolts! Argh!

Zeldain.5710:

Beats my why anyone uses Firefox (not to mention IE.)

Anyone that runs Windows (most of us do) have Internet Explorer. We may not use it (most of us don’t), but it should at least run under the default browser. Let alone the default replacement browser (Chrome).

There, fixed that for you.

got 13/13 by accident yesterday. Was doing daily with my low level necro on gendarran when the event hit. Could be very frustrating if you do not know what map did not register.

I have 3 for a couple of months now. It is so low I am not even interested in this achievment.

Best idea for community participation ever…. Just saying Anet.

Onkelbubu.3108:

I crafted a whole celestial gear ( 6 armor pieces + 3 trinkets by now ) the last weeks after that mf discussion. Would be pretty bad if I just lose 1 stat now.
They better give those items a 10% stat boost instead of mf.

Why not 20%.. Or 50 while you are at it.

Terrahero.9358:

Burst damage in WvW for roaming is already stupid. Adding just more powerful weapons is just going to make this even worst.

And i very much doubt you can get an ascended weapon just from playing WvW. So, once again, the WvW player is at a gear disadvantage aswell.

Well they should be cheaper with badges, so there might be a small reason to start wvw for people who havent.

Jumpers.5069:

Party up with people and attack what they’re attacking. Any damage at all seems to be enough to tag with a low-level if you’re partied and attacking party targets.

This^^ If you can party up with guildies, they are more tolerant for low level char in their team.

Aetherblade in general are a real pain the kitten to deal with because they can essentially stunlock a large group of players.

Molten Alliance meanwhile are too easy, as they have very low health, do little damage, and it’s even possible to solo their tunneling machines.

The clockwork mobs though seem to fall somewhere in the middle. The bigger guys hurt a lot and really do need to be focus fired, while the small ones can be AoEed and double tapped to make sure they don’t reform.

I’m not sure if this was intentional or not, but that’s about how it feels.

all molten alliance, aetherblades and steam creatures can be soloed with relative ease (i dont recall attempting to solo a twisted portal, but the corpse mechanic could make it difficult)
- molten alliance either doesnt scale at all with players or scales very badly, soloing aetherblades means theres considerably less

aspirine.6852:

then switch to a sword or GS?

You cannot switch during combat, another brilliant idea :/
But I am a ranger, makes no sense that something I am standing right next to cannot be hit by a bow.

So you mean your choice of both Longbow and Short Bow keep you from using a melee weapon? His statement stands as a solution to your problem (take a melee weapon instead of one of your bows).

I have them with me always but there are some things about it. If I solo the tunneling device a bow is better, unless I want to go head to head with 10 vets. And ranger sword and GS suck hard. GS attack is painfully slow, and the first and second sword skills are about as annoying as you can make a these skills.

Well maybe its time for an easy update, I will try the SAB but it’s not something I want in an mmo game. MOre like an april fools thing.

I did not notice a thing, still many champs spawning.

Where did you get this idea? I thought being on the map completes the invasion ap’s. I assume you are talking about the 13/13 maps one?

smeen.4237:

It’s probably the same one, with an expansion on the worlds.

One of the screens says world 2 yeah I think you are right.

I play them all except my thief, so if I am thinking about retiring one it will probably the thief. And He is just lvl 20 because of the scroll I got :/
I probably would buy another slot before deleting my char though.

Mungrul.9358:

Easily attainable max-stat gear.
And my Divine Aura. So gutted I didn’t get anything anywhere near as cool in my GW2 CE.

Wut? It’s too easy in both, and in gw1 it was stupidly easy.

Yeah, well, that’s just, like, your opinion man.

Seriously, there are no rights or wrongs here.

I prefer games where I don’t have to grind for gear and can just got on with playing and getting better.

You prefer games where max- stat gear is the reward and you therefore think it should be difficult to acquire.

They’re both valid opinions.

Fair enough..
In my defense, you either need to have easy to obtain armor and great endgame(gw1 had this). Or hard to obtain max gear to compensate for lack of endgame. GW2 so far is great for casuals but it combines the 2 wrong parts imo.

Could also be a person lagging like hell?
And also afk-ers do not bother me, some are just there to complete the achievement points and the way it’s build now they do not have to do anything, nothing wrong with that. :/

Meh, I hope its just the same one. It was a fun thing but should not be a bigger part of the game.

I dont see much wrong with pinging builds, there are build you like to play, but there are also very bad builds. That would make you assume the person does not understand the char he or she is playing at all.
Myself I would not mind in such a person in the group, but i can see people who want to do is as fast as possible find that person unsuited for the group.
Pinging armour and weaps is nothing I would want in the game. I do not need omg look at his rings rofl kick.

Her voice acting is done perfectly. And after reading up on here she makes quite an interesting enemy. Keep it up.

Weapon sets and mixed professions. But there is lots more, chests for instance, I know Anet is trolling me with all the broken lockpicks…

If you are not a ranger you can solo the tunnel indeed. My bow attacks keeps on saying I am not in range, even if I am standing next to it :/
The aether stun is just way too annyong to be in the game..

Was done before:
http://www.guildwars.com/events/contests/designaweapon07/

And it was a kitten good idea.

An expansion will allow people who are just too busy with RL, and not able to participate with the living story to play at their own pace.
The game is not just all achievment hunters, there are lots who are taking their time to finish a game or even a part. An expansion is a relaxed way for people to enjoy their time spent in the game instead of rushing towards the end.

Also when factions was out, prophecies was played a lot less, isnt that always the case when something new comes along.

Does not make any sense calling it infinite tonic if it limits the use to 5 minutes.

Do what I did, go to all areas and just run through it to have most waypoints. It does not take long and during such an invasion you unlock more areas. You could even just do 1 waypoint so you can get in the event. I see many people running to the next area instead of using waypoints.

Just like the whole discussion about the whatchknights, it’s just a game.

I do not think these events are for new players.
I also do not have 100% with all chars, but I managed to do them with those chars anyway.

Guild chat is very active on my Guild. Map chat is pretty empty, even in LA.

I would like the tonic even more if it wasnt time restricted. Why is that anyway?

I do not like to lose. :/
It’s as simpel as that, farming can be done 24/7 on frostgorge anyway.

On the main map I have only seen bloodtide coast fail, that was not because of farmers but bugged events and portals way too far from some events.
Farmers are completing the 2 aether events, I don’t have a problem with them
One thing though, if the aethers are first and molten last, the event never seems to fail.

Looks like I only need gendarran fields, but I never even seen that one since the first day(bugged out on that day).

I bought this game for the world, I liked the complete world in gw1. And I do hope we get to explore the whole world again but in the pretty gfx gw2 has.

Best addition has to be zephyr sanctum, I loved that place.

Lafiel.9372:

Daecollo.9578:

I am sure a lot of the feedback on the forums right now is hard to read as a developer, we are merciless critics.

I can however understand the villain Scarlet in your minds when you created her with all the story was a good villain, however when you just came into it and saw this lady who is suppost to be a genius, doing all these dumb things… It just does not seem believable.

I actually like Scarlet and wanted her to be a successful character, but even after reading everything about her (which hould of been in the game 3-4 months prior.) she feels rushed. She could of been so much more, and the story could of as well.

This is why you don’t rush content. I know your trying to keep a good schedule of new things to do every 2 weeks, but why do them for the story when its … well.. I don’t want to say anything that would make a developer cry, because I know how much effort people put into story making.

Na, Anet won’t find it hard to read because they just won’t agree with it. They basically will all think, we can’t please everyone, the forum complaints are a minority, the majority is still happy. And their bases of this is their sales and server population but that will change with time…

Well they are right about one thing, the very minority is going to the forums and complain. People who are content with the game seldom come here and give praise. Its easier to shoot it all down you see.

Vol.5241:

darkace.8925:

Vol.5241:

But I’m sure they would be able to present as such.

A quick analogy I can think of:
Expansion = Movie
Living Story = Mini-series

Now consider the production values of a mini-series vs that of a blockbuster movie.

Well you can go compare Saving Private Ryan with Band of Brothers, both of which are highly acclaimed.

.

LS is more like twilight, loved by some, hated by more.

Well the invasions are not that bad, they could be better but it’s also hectic fun.
They could have made the foes spawn and conquer the map, but they randomly just stay there waiting to get attacked.
Not a mastermind behind these attacks

FrankTheTank.5417:

Everyone, I just got both the Raced to the Rescue and Perfectionist achievements. Thank you for all your help.

See. you’re not so bad after all gz.

And do not make the same mistake I made a few times, I was queued and after a few minutes I could travel to the main map. But it actualy traveled me to an even emptier overflow

NemesiS.6749:

If you know you solve this easy, champs give loot ok fine but for winning the event to actually be profitable, give them more than what the champs drop, maybe special boxes with higher change to get exotics or precursor, but i mean real high change not those useless yellows or something like that. But seems like anet encourage the farming instead of winning the event so whatever,

Something like for every minute faster than 45 you will receive an extra chest.

Is it me or are people in overflow more easier to stop trying than on the main server. All of my events that failed was in overflow, all that succeeded were on main server….
And it’s not that it’s empty people just tend to stand around and wait for the event to fail.

Expansion is big part of the world opening up, living world is small updates. I prefer the first one.

New event just done in sparfly, it seemed about the same amount of champs?

I got the same on fireheart, is it because I was on overflow and guesting on another server?

My bad I assumed you were from vabbi.
I almost never see small groups from vabbi, and some from wsr. For me vabbi seems to be mainly thieves and their sneaky attacks, run like hell when they realize I’m not going to die anytime soon.

So are transfers to Desolation even possible? Right now I am on FoW, yes on the bottom of the list and my guild plays on desolation. But Since it has the very high player count I wonder if I can transfer at all.
