Guild Wars 2

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

I’m a bit confused. Here is husband, more than experienced at 16,000 AP

I fail to see how OP’s amount of AP helps new players in the starter zones when they are swarmed with 80s finishing all the events in seconds.

I totally agree with OP.
What’s going on in the starter zones when dailies require some events there reminds the worst days of QD train.

Seriously, THIS is not confusing for new players, Anet?

It’s just pining for the fjords.

misterman.1530:

Wait. Wait. Did we just get a drive-by dev in here? I thought these were extinct, like dodo birds and people who think hipsters are cool.

I think hipsters are cool.
Now we need dodo itt.

Branden Gee.2150:

I just wanted to let you know that your feedback on this is really appreciated. I understand how this immersion breaking bug is severely detracting from your enjoyment of Guild Wars 2. I assure you, Radiobiology, Bluefox. We have Top Men working on it right now. As always it will be fixed When It’s Ready™.

I am happy to see how much attention devs pay to this issue and how much efforts they’re gonna put into fixing this extremely important problem.
Exactly what I expected from Anet.

I just leave it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Cx7jzq2Bx4

Neb.4170:

Due to unforeseen bugs with doors, we are now removing all doors from the game. We call this patch the NDE (New Door Experience)

You can now unlock the fixed doors for 200gems in the cash shop.

You could just say that doors are too confusing for new players, especially opened doors.

I like this thread. It seems both white knights and dark knights do not know what to say about it

Just play how you want, srsly.
Since it’s EotM any of your actions you will kitten off either karma zerglings or WvWers.

Halcyon.7352:

In the latter part of the video, I’m at a Golem MK II in which I am never able to give myself stability the entire fight. It fails to apply to myself, going instead to other players. Every time I do get stability, it’s not from my Elixir B toss, as you can tell from the hover over ‘Source:<playername>’, as well as the shorter duration.

Mouseclick the toolbelt skill instead of using F* buttons, it will target the surface you’re actually standing on centering on you instead of whatever the green circles decide they are targeting.

Are you sure it’s a window and not some kind of a magical monitor?

Marauding Scum.6728:

Knowing anet they will likely fix this by removing all windows from the game.

And nerfing something totally unrelated.

Forget Crossfire for GW2, the game does make any use of it.

Guardian of Angels.9867:

I’m a huge fan of PvE, but for my dailies I just go to PvP…

I’d rather have that they make the daily bosses in 2 categories:
Kill a world boss (any given event on the list)
Kill a mega world boss (karka, tequatl, mega wurm)

I’d say it’s a perfect solution, since there always is some boss 15 mins max away.

I rather agree with you.
Inb4 tons of “there is a lot of other options in daily”.
Yes, there are. And all of them you can do anytime. Except these bosses.

This escalated quickly.
The thread turned into AMDvsNvidia holywar in 11 posts, lol.

cheshader.5081:

Predator’s aura keeps disappearing.

cheshader — is this new since the update today? Or how long has it been happening?

Well, I never noticed it happening before, now it keeps disappearing in areas with large population (like zerg at world bosses). Sometimes it comes back after switching to another weapon/kit and back, sometimes it doesn’t. Footprints are ok.
Would consider it as the game lowering level of graphical details, but as I said, never saw (or at least noticed) it before.

Predator’s aura keeps disappearing.

Behellagh.1468:

Well their was a lot of screaming in Queensdale looking for events.

Yeah, I saw it too.
And guess what did it remind me? When was the last time I saw so many lvl80s screaming in QD map chat? Yeah, right, QD train times.

Seriously, if Anet was a person it would be an obvious case of schizophrenia.

As for the new system I rather like it. Did daylies in less than 15 mins, faster than ever.
And the new laurel system allows my gf who does not play actively every day just log in once a day to get them. Sure she’ll miss APs, but will have her laurels, unlike earlier.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2p2p54/lfg_will_be_fixed_on_tuesday/

With all that time it takes them to fix simplest things it looks like the dev team have to go through a long process of admitting “yeah, we did it wrong”.
I wonder if some people in Anet believe they can’t make mistakes. Like, at all.
And some reasonable devs sneakily fix the mistakes when the said persons are, for example, on a vacation, lol.

Ryn.6459:

5K AP, solve (x+3)^2=3

Got a similar one among others.

Oh God.
It’s Anet, they can fix it today, or ignore it for years.
One can only hope.

Great. Now they spent time and efforts creating from scratch that atrocity of jungle explorer outfit which almost no one buys, while ppl asking for Anise’s armor are ignored (despite the fact that the outfit is basically ready for human females = requires less work, while it still have to be adapted for other races, and it is a beautiful one, for kitten’s sake!).
I guess whoever is in charge of these things is getting out of touch with reality more and more.

AllNightPlayer.1286:

Better not tell A-Net or they are going to remove the animation completely. But then the bug would fixed, right? ;-P

Don’t worry, it’s the bug section of the forum, which means the chances of them doing anything at all about it are very slim.

lugnutusa.3157:

Kotaku is now reporting that Anet is planning to change in response to the outcry:

http://kotaku.com/guild-wars-2-players-angry-over-currency-exchange-chang-1649519173

Update: ArenaNet has responded with plans to update the Currency Exchange so players can use it as they wish. They offered the following statement:

“It’s clear that quite a lot of you would like to have greater flexibility in using the Currency Exchange. Our intention when we designed the new interface was to streamline large volume purchases, which make up the majority of transactions.

In light of your feedback, we will update the Currency Exchange so that you can decide how you want to use it. We will keep the new streamlined system and also offer a new “Custom” button on the panel that you can use to exchange any increment of gems or gold.

We anticipate rolling this out soon. Stay tuned!"

I wonder where did kotaku get this.
And why devs did not post it in this thread… probably were afraid to confuse new players itt, yupyupyup.
Also no word about graphs. I just hope that if they “accidentally forget” about it there will be some site where we will be able to track gem prices anyway.

Metallus.7690:

… just why? Weren’t things fine before? I don’t think anyone ever complained about the gold2gem system being “confusing”.

Ofc, there was a huge bunch of new players each with no less than 80g in their pockets eager to spend it on no less than 400 gems, haven’t you noticed them complaining like on every map that they can’t do it because the user interface is so confusing?

I remember how it was when I started to play this game and I wish I was one of those new players who can easily spend 80+g on gems, yuuuuuuuuup.

Xae Isareth.1364:

My goodness. If this isn’t a troll post, this guy can single-handedly wreck entire servers in wvw o.o

It’s a girl.
This is not a troll post.

dragosf.3291:

Please don’t fix this. It is the most fun I’ve had in a while ;D

They won’t, it’s Anet we’re talking about, right?
Same amount of bugs and testing as on an average MMO freeshard.

Not a fan of wars in any way, but that adrenaline decay thing is really stupid and looks more like a bug rather than anything sensible, seriously.
Guess Anet is on their usual nerfing spree, senseless and merciless.

Also:

engi … god mode.

zomfgroflmao

Fun to play if you like to mash a lot of buttons almost all the time and are willing to learn what exactly your skills and traits do.
In other words, high APM and memorizing a lot of stuff.
With right gear you can retrait/select utilities for almost any situation in the game. You won’t be the best, but the class is quite versatile.

Without proper remapping of controls can easily give you carpal tunnel syndrome.
With proper remapping will give it to you later.

Terribad if you just want to lazily faceroll everything with a little effort (inb4 random complaints about the turret build which is never is seen in high ranked pvp for some completely mysterious reason that probably has totally nothing to do with opponents willing to learn how to play).

Have a similar to ranger’s one stigma and were mostly unwelcome in dungeons by pugs (and I’d say often still are) cause ppl thought that engies were useless in pve.
Though it looks like now a lot of ppl start to think that engie is OP since the last Feature Pack, pfft.
Which is hilarious cause both cases ain’t true, lol (I imagine the disappointment of all those who started to level the class recently thinking they’re gonna be OP, and soooo don’t feel for them when they realize that ain’t gonna happen).

dooger.2640:

troll thread for bad players of other classes to “discuss” how they want to nerf another class.

In game where thief is a ultra heavy duty double duty evasion tank, plenty of stuff to fix first

Aww, you poor underpowered oppressed warriors!

>What’s needed to make Warriors “balanced?”

Give it turrets, minions, pets, invisibility, conjured weaps, illusions, and delete all other “classes” (or, rather, those poor substitutes for warrior) from the game.

Balanced.

I won’t.

Like, you can’t even logically defend that, the only reason you are defending it is because you can’t wait to get your hands on some mindless gameplay to appease the small minded.

I thought all such persons already play warriors.

Seems some have a mesmer they will dust off in septemeber.

I most certainly will, for day or two before they nerf it.

Even hambot will take more skill to play than this. And not to creep but I see warriorjrd post on the ranger forums a lot, so idk if he even plays warrior, so don’t judge him for something you’re not even sure about

Wasn’t even looking at his name, nor do I care what he does play.

Call me grumpy, but I am withholding my thanks till I see working iWarden.
As for other changes… I remember what happened to Power Block, so I’ll wait here too.

Tyler Bearce.3427:

• The traps we’ve added in the past, have seen low use.

easily correlates with:

Tyler Bearce.3427:

However, it’s still hard to say exactly how it will play out in the live game, but if it ends up hurting gameplay more than helping it we are open to adjusting it in the future.

You just don’t want/can’t properly test things before implementing them. And it is not just about WvW, it’s everywhere else in the game.
Basically you are killing your own game with this lack of testing/quality control. Holy hell…

Omg, dat behavior itt by people from Devona’s Rest. Or even worse, by people who just recently transferred there…
I just regret looking at this thread (inb4 “smart” advice to stop reading it, lol).
And no, I am not from a server that was roflstomped by DR (cause it is just technically impossible).

Neptune.2570:

Honestly, despite the broken bugs and dev’s slowly making the Mesmer as unMesmer as possible, it is still an incredibly fun class. I say you stick with it, it’s not Gw1 mes, but it’s still a great design in the end.

This ^^

What Exciton, Schattenlied and MailMail said.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see new (and old, ofc) features bugged in their own ready up video (if we will even get one, most mesmers in game are leveled solely for portals and veils by players who level gwe first, so why bother?).
And they won’t give a kitten about it even if it would be clearly seen.

Sublimatio.6981:

I hope we will be able to use Mimic on friendly targets…

I hope we still will be able to play Mesmer after the feature patch.

So… how exactly we will be screwed this time?
My bet is on bugs in everything they “improved”, new bugs in old skills, some nerfs called “improvements”, and if some “cool stuff” slips past them they will call it a bug and fix it to total uselessness the very next day.
Call me whatever you want.

For me it loads for dozens of seconds and then fails to sell.

http://www.wolfineer.com/2014/05/bombgrenade-full-dps-build/

They just try their best to give the impression that they don’t read it?

I expect Anet to “invent” it no earlier than in 2 years -_-
Or may be we should bump the thread constantly, like the “Hobo Sacks” one.

^^ What Stallerenox and Wolf said.

Eliteseraph.4970:

I suppose that’s the reward of practice.

Yes, it is. A lot of engie stuff requires some practice. Play the class extensively for ~2 week, try different builds (wolfineer.com is pretty much mandatory), you’ll notice you’re improving.
