Guild Wars 2

Magic find NPC after all temples have been done. And then happy dust farming.

I’ll wait untill they chance them from crafting to dropping. I do not like that enormous amount of effort for one right now.

I like to think of myself as a hard-core casual.

I’m not particularly looking for challenge in an MMO, I’m looking for fun. I just want to sort of roam around and enjoy myself. I don’t mind occasional challenges, but I’m not always up for them.

I do a lot of everything. I bounce around a lot. I’m not too focused on just getting a legendary or just getting dungeon master, or just finishing my personal story. I’ll get there. When I feel like doing something, I do it.

I’m also a big fan of helping other people. Particularly but not limited to people in my guild. Anyone needs help with a dungeon or WvW or just finding a vista, I’m there.

I guess you could say I’m a social player, who enjoys the world for what it is, without putting too much pressure on the game to entertain me, because over the years I’ve learned to entertain myself.

Guild Wars 2, so far, is the only MMO that actually fits my play style.

I play the same, except I do the daily for sure, + the monthly. And I am not in a guild. Both GW1 and gw2 are great for this.

The only problem I have with them is that there are so many mini’s already.

Did any of you play GW1?
For me the livin story feels a bit like the guild wars beyond part of the game. Those were not made by the best people of Anet because they were working their kitten of on GW2.
Some of the beyond content was fun, the kryta part was great. But still not the best content I was used from Anet.
So for me it sounds like they have their best people on the expansion, even though they have to say they have not by ncsoft.

2 of the 4 in caladon forest are pretty easy too. And the 3 in LA.
But the easiest has to be the building puzzle around the portal in southsun cove.

He was on a low population server I think, you can wait for someone else on those but it will take you a long time to get your achievement then.,
On populated servers I wait for someone to join, never takes long.

Dam! I did not get a skin either, now everyone will kill me in PVP =/. So unfair that they get a skin and it has made them so powerful! I can’t believe that these lucky people will have the edge over me now in pve as well! /s

In all seriousness go play other MMO’s and see how good you have it in GW2.

When compared to high quality MMO’s such as Eve Online and Guild Wars 1 and hell, even to Runescape, I have to say it’s a lot worse here. Mainly because of how low the “Rich” box scam is.
Of course what we have here isn’t as bad as what you have in a random, “free to play” trash, but I sort of expected Guild Wars 2 to be very far above those. Quess I was wrong.

Do-not-buy-the-rich-boxes.
I just solved your problem.

KeyLimPi.9031:

I won’t play asura or charr because they actively kill skritt and I find them adorable.

Skip humans too then.

Engineer, because I dont like the class. And for now an asuran because they look goofy.

No too bad I would say, pretty kitten lucky

• look at me I have 100g topic *

Probaly around 200 chests that I got one today.

ExaDal.2017:

LOL. Yestarday i open 500 crates with 140%MF. 0 tickets and 2 mini. This game is a joke.

Yeah they should have given you 100 tickets atleast…

Opened a couple of hundred normal coffers and got nothing but sweets and fireworks. I am never lucky in these typ of things but I do not blame or dislike rng.

I have no idea, most of the games I played had RNG, and GW1 was notorious about drops where people seem to never get particular drops.

A game were evertyhing in the game is handen to you once you login is what some people expect. Isnt that what we call the now-generation.

I am seeing some major improvements(fingers crossed) after I did some searching on the net with people having problems with the windows 7 64 bit + gtx 670 (or nvidia cards in general).
I did a bunch of things but I do not know which one helped me out, I could not play GW2 for more than 15 minutes and now for 2 evenings hours of play and no problems.
First I used a driver cleaner to get rid of everything. Than installed the latest nvidia drivers, but not the whole package, I just installed the drivers and not the physh engine, 3d-vision and HD audio driver.
Also a tip from asrock my mainboard, the pcie in my bios was set to auto, I changed that to Gen3.
After all these things no more chrashes, but like I said no idea which one helped for me.

The zhaitaffy’s could be given only for every frag you made. Not given anything for being akitten.

Nver seen the skelleton before, that one looks great. The other one, hmm not so.

I read your post as wehhh wehhhhh weeeehhhhh..

Hope for the best to see changes to the drops after the summer. If you can wait that long :/

Right now I would not pay for anything. I want my things to drop in the game or if needed crafted.

Tengu? There are hints towards the dominion of winds on several places.

And to have all people stop complaining about rng, make it a very high chance to drop that kitten ticket.

BlueSoda.6297:

Sorry but it’s every man for himself,lol. Nobody waits for me on those things so why should I wait for them? Plus, I usually don’t get credit for the kills if I let someone else come over so…no deal kiddo, just going to keep killing them as fast as I can.

So because some other are kittens you are one too? Nice attitude right there.

I see no reason not to wait that few more seconds so the other person(s) can fight the holo. I’m not in a rush and dont need to be in bed by nine or something.

Stark.1350:

The complaints thus far are absolutely mind boggling.

1.) Moa racing shouldn’t be part of the meta achievement.

Congratulations, it’s not! You only have to do 10/14 achievements, of which you have AN ENTIRE MONTH to do.

2.) The holo dragons in the lower zones breed competition and contempt.

It was like this during Halloween, Christmas and SAB. Same plan. But considering all the impatient people want to finish this in a day, it’s become a major issue. Once again, YOU HAVE AN ENTIRE MONTH. Let the crowds thin out and you’ll see the nodes sitting around doing nothing, like they have in every other event beforehand.

3.) RNG RNG RNG RNG RNG RNG RNG RNG

The biggest complaint I saw in Southsun was the fact that the crates off mobs didn’t drop enough. Now they drop off ANY WORLD MOB and now you have coffers being THROWN at you, in the hundreds and thousands, and you DON’T HAVE TO PAY A DIME. The RNG boxes have worked the same in EVERY OTHER HOLIDAY BEFOREHAND and if you’re a sucker enough to keep buying into them, then I have no hope for you as a human being. People are picking up hundreds IN A SINGLE DAY, and once again, THE EVENT LASTS FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH. The weapon skins DO NOT AFFECT YOU, in ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM, so have some WILLPOWER and DON’T BUY THEM.

By god, ever since that “other MMO” started handing everything to everyone by just logging in, everyone thinks that’s how it should be now.

If I could +10 you I would OP.

Healix.5819:

It’d probably be better as a 5 man free for all.

FFA is easier to do than team so good suggestion

Meglobob.8620:

Welcome!

But, I hope the radius is large…

Also, in WvW this does NOTHING to solve the problem of when you die and are surrounded by dozens of loot bags…none of which you will ever get…

Auto area loot would fix this for sure. Just dont wait to pick up the loot untill all baddies are dead.

Just do this Anet, and sell them on the gem store.

Did you read what I posted or not? I want this back as an incentive for players to do dungeons. Because as it is right now, the only dungeons that are popular are CoF and CoE because they give the best money.

.

Bingo, that was the main reason for people to do the eye of the north dungeons. Almost every dungeon had a unique weapon, but you already know this =)

Lol, do I know this… I used to load up 2 accounts and run with a buddy of mine that ran Bogroots all day. He used to run it with a buddy of his, and both took 4 accounts. He just micro’d all of them with special tactics. Did full Bogroots in like 10-15mins. He made over 1500ecto’s/week if he did it for like 2-3h/day. I ran 2 accounts and they ran 3 each sometimes as well. He was a lucky kittener though. I’ve seen him get dual froggy drops (on 1 account!) 2 times. And I’ve seen him get as much as 3 froggies in 1 run with his 4 account thing.

That guy almost sounds like the person on the guild guru 1 forums that gave so many tips and guides about bogroots and SoO.

Lol, it was that guy. I taught him how to 4 account chestrun Rhea’s Crater though. I farmed it for Outcast weapons (only with 3 accounts though). I also taught him how to duo account Pongmei, but he one upped me and 4 acc’ed that as well xD

He was a really good buddy of mine. I miss him, since he doesn’t play GW2. He quit playing like 6 months before GW2 release. He still logged on every now and then to do a DoA with the guild or some SoO/Bog/Raven runs though.

Well thanks then I guess. He gave me/us some really good tips.

Also bump for great ideas, dungeon tokens are meh, a rare drop like Storm daggers, froggy, VS, bds etc. Also a nice hint towards guild wars 1.

Why are they called rich coffer if they do not have a high chance for tickets? is it because they make ncsoft rich?

I have almost the same setup and experience the same thing since last week. Either the gtx 670 is a very bad card(been reading about crashes all over the world) but for me it is just in GW2. I can play Diablo 3 the whole night without a single crash :/
One hour of gw2 would be around 4 to 5 system crashes.

Looks like my problem. Since this weekend GW2 crashes my system randomly. Sometimes after an hour, but unfortunatly more like after 10 minutes or maybe 15.

My system is also window 64 bit, GTX 670 and I tried all the usual stuff. Tried the new install of drivers and als GW2. Monitoring the temps on my CPU and GPU, nothing weird there.
I dont know if your system crashes like mine, I just hear a locking sound and my pc reboots itself.

I almost stopped after mounts. What is it with this obsession for mounts. It does not fit the game, it cannot be done in gw2.

PVE culling, yes please, top of the list to fix. It is annoying as heel not being able to see what everyone is doing, and more what the foes are doing.

Raids, I have no experience with raids so i read up a bbit, basicly instanced with more people and longer time to finish the content? Could work, but no in the current form of the playerbase on some servers.

Loot tables on bosses, this was also in GW1, and i have no idea why this is not implemented in gw2. Good idea.

Other parts of your suggestions are also valid. The rng I am not so sure about, but more pve content, more wvw content.

Scythe

We have it, it’s called a staff. It is physically impossible for a scythe to work as a martial weapon, and more importantly it’s visually impossible, you couldn’t possibly animate a character using a scythe and not have it look completely ridiculous. The only exception is b-list anime and that’s because they use a sickening amount of cross cuts.

The Dhuum banscythe says hi:

For leveling I moslty guest on Desolation or underworld. But even on a very high like desolation I hardly ru ninto people on some parts of Tyria.

MisterEction.9382:

I’d like a pair of the pistols. But based on the last couple events in which I got one after about 50 chests and the other nothing after 20 or so crates, I don’t see it happening.

Dont forget that the dragon hologram is around the world(not in Orr ok) so maybe there is a higher chance to get some tickets.

I’m not sure why people think a game should entertain them for 2000 hours in a row at launch?

The same thing that was in GW1, or even in rpg like Diablo. Hold a carrot on a stick to the players.
If you complete this dungeon there is a very small chance a R9 froggy will drop, or in D3 a legendary with these stats.
But to some degree you are right, after so many hours it can feel a bit too much but on the other hand I played gw1 a whole lot more than a few years. :/

Right but Prophecies was the first Guild Wars 1 project. You’re comparing four games to one game. We don’t know what this game will offer in a couple of years.

I don’t think I could have played just Prophecies straight for 10 months, unless I was a PvPer (and I’m not).

Well prophecies + eye of the north, because the original gw was as big like gw2 now is. And propecies was more difficult than you would imagine if you only played the complete package of overpowered skills.
I’m not a pvp person myself but that was considered the endgame, basicly some pve to guide you towards pvp. I’m glad they changed that around with the original

I havent even finished the game because so many people in Orr told me that it was such a let down. From all stories it looks like they are right.

Beligerent.1324:

I started playing GW2 because I thought the whole point of this game was not to force the player to grind like so many other MMOs do. And yet as soon as you get to endgame, the only endgame options that are really there is to grind.

• FOTM= Grind!

• You want that dungeon armor set? Grind the hell out of that dungeon until you end up venomously hating dungeons!

• Want that awesome weapon skin from the event?! Well first you have a 0.004% chance to get the crate, and then you have another 0.004% chance to get a weapon skin ticket in that crate. Basically, more grind!

ANet, you’ve created an endless cycle of grind for endgame, and you lied to everyone who bought your game. I love GW2 but it has in no way delivered on it’s promises.

So I have not played many other MMO, how was this done in other games then. Except raids then, there is enough information about that on all forums.
So lets take some big MMO’s and see what the PVE endgame is there.

pessimist.7294:

I think Divinity Reach defenses got a little problem: Do you remember the vista at the giant hole in one of the districts? At this part the wall got a huge gap there.

Yeah, someone should fix that someday.

Ahh tease…

Oh kitten it looks like they will finally get me to use the shop.

The longbow is awesome looking.

Vol.5241:

there*

I would have to disagree. If we had a dragon event (which is no different than a meta event and we already have 6 in orr zones) it would only attract players there for the time it was up.

If you really want people to play in Cursed Shore…Anet needs to rollback all these farming nerfs and bring back shelt/pen + plinx.

Well this would solve most of it.

Conncept.7638:

They’re RNG dependent because ANet has become greedy beyond belief.

And they’re account bound because every time they add limited edition weapons that can be sold, the majority end up being hoarded and sold for ridiculous amounts of money long after the event, and it does serious damage to the economy.

Wrong company, I do think it’s the main company behind the greed. ncsoft, not Anet.

PolarisNova.3867:

Really sorry to the people who are having a hard time, but if anything, I learnt and adapted quickly to not standing/idling/akitteng in certain places. I learnt a hard lesson, but really I find the idea of Southsun being really dangerous and unpredictable to be part of it’s charm.

I was once caught out by a karka horde and got killed before I could get to the queen, but I could have spawned elsewhere and run round a safe way, the island really isn’t that big.

Tried that, now i am the first to say i am not a great player but from pearl islet to the karka queen took me longer than she was alive. Through the camp is not a option for me because I am either too slow or there are about 30 karka there that one way or another going to get me.
Tried to run through camp karka but the two vets/champs there kill me instantly. Would have been nice if you are able to get there through the area in between those two camps.

The skins should be tradable and there would be no problem with rng.

The only way to get to the queen fast is not to participate in the pre events that unlock her. That sounds kinda stupid imo.

You got very lucky or rather this is not real. There are lots of people farming there, I tried the sharks for about an hour yesterday, most I got was fins. No armoured scales, a few lower T scales and no boxes.
