Guild Wars 2

you just have to close your eyes and hope the tourny expenses come out of peoples xmas bonuses and not the production budget

mark my words, witnessing the world tournament qualifiers will help us contend elder dragons and usher in a new era of mmorpg prowess

you may want to look into games that do have mounts.. ncsoft’s other games have them and they are relatively good compared to guildwars2..

wasn’t that last weekend?

my suggestion would actually be to hire a small dev team so a music shop could be implemented for open world

please replace gust with icy ground

so, i was kicking this idea around in my head a bit more.. and i realized it might relate to players more if the quests were handed out from a representative of their racial city.. the less generic the npc, the more production work though..

^ yes but it was on an agenda, it was part of someones job, and they went to school for game design so stuff that fits the new interface can and will be implemented

enough community uproar, and it can be reverted

sincerily yours, mr. that’s how the world works

I really want a mini Branded.

Charr by preference, human as a second choice but any branded would be good. I know they’re supposed to be horrible corrupted monsters, but the black and purple look is really cool.

branded rock dog, yesszs

ahh, now that i read the entire thread it seems it went in a specific direction.. quests/goals and implementation.. so when i found out that the collection i wanted to do was basically going to be a low drop rate grind/bidding fest and even had an item dedicated to dungeon {that in my own personal opinion no casual in their right mind would do.. only an opinion}.. i decided to craft mawdrey!

my experience with mawdrey was one of fun, almost..
i do grind quite a bit as an insurance policy of when something may arrive, regardless.. when i ran into the fractals components i was moderately annoyed {in all honesty it wasn’t difficult, just gated.. 5 days} and then later charged crystals… i never had much interest in celestial gear and i guess this was my flaw, because .. 2 sets of 10 i think it was.. luckily i had at least 10, Luckily! other than that mawdrey Was fun, i had no problem with gold or getting geodes. . .

this is all personal experience, is it not? but could this have been avoided by smart development. . .

also, pvp reward tracks… i Loath the imbalanced pvp in this game and though i find wvw, catapults and castles a bit fun.. sPvP is just too much.. i will admit i ground out the balthazar backpiece, and the cowl from the glorious light armor.. you can not get this in other game modes, and i found it duly aggravating..

to add to my previous paragraph, let me just admit that some things in game should push us to do things out of our comfort zone.. But i am a vet player of 5k hours and not part of a very efficient close knit guild.. i keep mostly to myself and try to grind or play clever if i have to.. clever not exploit.. i’m not looking for entitlements.. i would expect my previously stated annoyances from seeking a legendary or something of that sort.. But again i was looking toward Simple goals that were implemented as content that Should have been available to ..?everyone

sry for the rant, this i feel, 2 years into the game.. is an important discussion

as a player of 5k hours and no precursor, and someone who is a bit appalled that a home instance item was a reward for an arah gated collection.. i’m in the same boat as the opening poster.. gating, carrots on sticks, grind and rng are a part of all mmo’s but i’m tired of seeing these and trading post pampering as the driving forces in tyria..

plz, glance the suggestion in my signature and bring it up for open discussion so we can get some daily content exposure with a reward track people can actually work toward without feeling obligated or oppressed by

nice find simon,
those serpent wings are pretty cool, i think suigintou from rozen maiden would destroy him though d:
fun fact: the voice actress of taimi did the american dub of that anime :p
incredibly dorky post i’know, sry ._.

ahah nice sword.. some of the best skins are only a few gold on the trading post
actually, my character favors mix-n-match generics that have been around since launch and are relatively easy to get to

yes, i thought an icebrood fish would make an interesting mini
in commemoration of the destruction of the frostgorge train
as does the mad king pumpkin headed mini floats along behind, so could water minis in a bubble

the pact was supposed to go after kralk next.. for reasons other than trahearne said so is lost on me.. as for desert and maguuma, western territory had some unfinished bits upon launch.. crystal desert was mapped… aside from that. . . who knows.. it’s basically pointless to build theory upon past intentions.. teams changed, capabilities changed.. even vision has changed

very halloweeny

dear arena net, summer in tyria was rather bittersweet for me as there was good content at the expense of no dragon bash.. seriously, lion’s arch gets blow’d up and all of a sudden the five races are too down to string up a few piñatas? anyway, i’m willing to overlook such things in hope of a cheerier fall/winter season.. the xmas minis introduced that first tyrian fox, ever! there were skill names and an exclusive pre-order item in gw1 Some people are not fond of re-skins, but i think a simple dye change to the fox mini would go a long way.. fun fact: the ears and cheek fluff are not as dominant on a non-tyrian juvenile arctic fox =^_^=

screenshotting that response for future reference ._.

bad quest-telling is bad ._.

i wouldn’t say everyone
this game caters to the lowest common denominator
i guess that’s me, so i’m staying

brings 50k$ to zommoros hoping for balance, quests, storyline, and daily playability
gets sPvP tournament instead

yep, this thread successfully wasted a half hour of my life
arena net, hire this man..

interesting.. i love the gw2 community
it took me, not even 5 minutes to find someone exploiting this..
and also, someone griefing those players. . .

right, baselessly blame ncsoft..
cuz That’ll set arena net’s farmville simulator straight

log in, worry about time gated junk
hide map chat panels and grind a bit
swallow sadness
glance the forum to see how talking points dictate the direction of this game as apposed to steady development and rational gamer input
cry deeply
log out

like a boss

gem wars 2.. getting pretty tired of this, and i don’t even hate the gem store… it’s starting to rightfully irk me off though that arena net Continually amalgamates their questing with RNG.. it’s in Everything.. i’m sick of seeing it, how lazy can you get.. it boggles the mind, because there is good content in this game.. they seem adamant about dragging their own game through the mud though at every turn.. collections was a shamble and i compared pendant of arah to charlie and the chocolate factory’s golden tickets.. but it was a joke, and now it seems they are taking it a step farther with.. what? some sort of gem store Raffle.. this game is just creepy anymore.. happy halloween everyone

probably would have bought one if the skirt wasn’t a flared-out type

did i miss osmething, or is there no living world halloweeen subforum

also, since there is no halloween subforum and my messages aer supressed at 10 mins {i don’t even remember why} ..
Q: i did the mad prince intro quest, and traded in for a candy corn mini guy.. is there more to the quest, or will that be implemented next week or something? or do i have to go play with halloween doors, seriously lost here.. anyone?

A: ahh ok, you backtrack to the black citidel once you have it ^^

this gives me time to download rift to my ssd

… why

because landsharks load faster on ssd

this gives me time to download rift to my ssd

i don’t really blame the living story for hurting this game, there’s plenty of other things for that.. while arena net tries to reinvent the wheel, they fail to keep the vehicle rolling with time proven methods and standards..

my charr looks like goku.. seriously though, there are a few ronald mcdonalds running around and sailor moons.. i used to be on a server who has an asuran marvin martian.. someone made a super plain looking human named sheldon cooper.. i know someone did a saber but their version was totally blown away by someone from the kongzhong gw2.. it’s possible to do a miku with the adventure box stereo, but i don’t think many people in this game are well versed enough to recognize vocaloid..
anyway, sorry for no pictures

unfortunately arena net needs to focus on using their true medium, which is the game itself.. although i found some of these stories good, some of the material just didn’t transfer over to game very well.. it leaves me with a feeling of them being disingenuous.. i don’t need a fanfiction of a fanfiction congesting the official channels.. either streamline it and put it in game or deliver it as “hey guys, check out the ‘fluff’ we worked on”

not doing the clock tower is the reward i’ve decided to give myself each halloween

no dragon bash in a game plagued by dragons..
yep, arena net loves holidays..

before you go ‘piecing things together’ i want you to consider how the big mysterious revelation of season 1 was corrupted sylvari warlord amasses an attack against {insert location here} tadah lion’s arch… all i’m saying is don’t knock yourself out ^^

adventure box is not a “front-burner” project.. i really wish people would get that through their heads.. and also, festivals hold their appeal in simply being festivals.. some people celebrate holidays just the same as they did last year.. gw2 season 1 holds no special place to me, i found it completely disinteresting.. the only thing arena net can really say they brought to the table was “yes, we filled our agenda of ‘having things to do’ every few weeks”.. 2014 is the only year i’ve seen arena net buckle down and actually Try to ‘cut the fluff..’ have to be brutally honest at this point, i’m cautiously optimistic about the rest of this season and arena net has some fall competition heading their way as well, so we’ll just see how it all goes

Planning on burning my cave down? ..Elementalist, hmmphh ..the jotun said with a grumble
as peculiar as this was, Korra was only slightly thrown off.. she stepped forward and turned out her light spell..
“my name is korra f..
‘I know who you are…
come help me with this,’ the jotun motioned to a couldron of the firepit
so very peculiar.. korra kept her eyes focused on the small jotun as she walked over..
she then noticed there was nothing in it, no ingredients or anything to speak of..
the jotun just sat there, not even looking.. and let out an impatient breath
korra filled the pot with water, and instead of pressing a conversation.. she decided to quicken the kindling too..
‘eeaahh’ the jotun immediately griped at her to ‘let the flame do what it was meant to’
. . .after a bit of waiting
“i had no trouble getting in here.. if these are your caverns, then you know what’s keeping the icebrood away from this area..”
the jotun let out the longest, most irritated sigh.. she had ever heard
and readily scoffed at her
is that what you’ve come here for? a deterent..
korra was immediately frustrated
“icebrood decimated this territory, Nothing grows out there.. animals are scarce, and..
the jotun interrupted once more.. ‘and your army is starving…’
korra looked off to the side, “they aren’t my army”
the jotun grumbled, hmmmph
of all things, it is jormaag that seeks resolution,
..it’s not going to be pretty
the jotun was up now and walking past her..
korra became quiet with an unsettled feeling.. she looked over and there was no boiling water, there was Nothing in the kettle…
the jotun told her “it’s time to stop playing games”
#puff#
darkness ensued

We are getting them by the end of 2013.
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/looking-ahead-guild-wars-2-in-2013/

Must have been a typo.

this game is a typo :\
seriously, i’m lucky to have had absolutely no interest in legendaries.. i feel sorry for people who sunk time into them, but the sad truth is it was a failed game feature.. other weapons are starting to get flashier, and there is only so much arena net can do to make legendaries appealing.. this should have been foreseeable..

i’m reminded of my favorite anime, where at the end of a long confrontation, the hero chooses to destroy the prize rather than implement it.. the villain calls him foolish , but the hero explains it simply as the benefits in no way outshine the negative..

it’s sad, but there are so many things in this game that i see as a fools errand and wasted development.. i’m really hoping things will turn around soon

elementalist in this game is just a huge disappointment, it needs an enormous redesign and i’m talking characteristics and philosophy.. hypothetically, even if what elementalist has gotten from arenanet is top of the food chain, i doubt it appeals to the majority of elementalist players..

elementalist underpowered – for most players, yes
elementalist design philosophy useless – yes
any chance of a reasonable revamp – no, nonononono

enjoy your cheese, burst, gimmick profession that still doesn’t stand up in this game

Tachenon.5270:

Say, why don’t they send that guy out to fight the dragons and stuff.

yeah, it wasn’t a rage quit but i quit the game when i realized liadri who has no lore whatsoever after two implementations could best my non-relevant staff elementalist in this game.. don’t worry, she will avenge that baby quagg

i suppose some people would see such things as a chore to do.. there have been a few carrots on a stick in this game.. i found it unsettling that liadri was released without varied difficulties, or at least various levels of reward based on performance.. we’ve actually seen “gold,silver,bronze” implemented in the game and it showcases arena net’s attention to detail and fairness.. i was quite unnerved when collections arrived.. it seemed precedence was in pumping up older content, at the expense of rng grind and trading post squabbling.. how they could ever conclude that a tradable, low drop rate arah item would be a reasonable ingredient for home instance loot is beyond me.. it is a horrible thing, to see the carrot yanked away from a bunny, but i feel the suggestions i made offer attainable goals for gamers willing to invest a small amount of play when they can

in 2 years we’ve killed 1 dragon.. a warlord.. and woke up another dragon..
maybe in a few more years we’ll have a storyline, some quests… if we’re lucky

well, you can’t buy them off a vendor.. so yeah

new Elementalist infinite use dig your own Grave Shovel – now in the gem store

the elementalists in those pictures don’t look like complete push-overs either.. so you really have to question the validity of that page..

hire this man .__.

i noticed recently nividia added gw2 to their list of supported games, which previously wasn’t even listed.. hooray for progress ?_?

can i have a messenger hawk named hawky
