Guild Wars 2

i want gw2 to have more gw2 stuff
. . see what i did there

jormag is one of the better encounters
the champ looters are kinda lame, champ loot isn’t even that good.. i try to participate in Most pre events and things like that, sometimes there is a pre-boss and it’s just a race to zerk it down.. those drop a tier of loot based on what damage/type of skill you managed to affect the enemy with.. some nights i just skip it because contrary to popular belief a few loot bags aren’t worth spazzing out for a minute..
the ice wall is majorly disappointing.. the hill gets bombarded with icebrood and people do a poor job of clearing the hill before jormag shows up.. then they all huddle in the right corner {that’s fine for stacking might and stability and time warp or whatever} and most of the time a large group of them gets blasted and eventually get rezzed.. the part that irks me the most is any vagrant mobs target people actually playing the event in open field, they even get double tagged by the mobs and get nuked.. i could care less how lazy players play or how the game rewards lemmings, but it is typically punishing to those actually trying to enjoy the lore/game mechanics..
the storage crate on the mark 2 platform needs to be Removed
the jungle grub at caledon wurm needs to be in a random area
the portal at shadow behemoth’s 6 o’clock needs to be removed, campers aren’t doing it at all and the people who do are going out of their way
the modnir commander needs to appear in a randomized area
the veteran destroyers that spawn in the north west during megadestroyer neede to be relocated to the southeast, same reason as shadow behemoth
Agony needs to be applied to All camping locations -
  put an elite volatile blossom that shoots out agony in known locations
    example west of shatter
these are just suggestions, i don’t expect any of them to be implemented.. i do know that most gaming companies wouldn’t avoid simple adjustments on such blaring issues

pvp is like the most important thing
so they have to keep a watchful eye on things like that

i’ll bet you 20 gold that people will line up to vote for something that has to do with gw1, something that has nothing to do with gw2 or more free win buttons to make this game closer to farmville.. then 8 months later arena net will add time gated material and a series of overhauls to things that have needed absolutely subtle changes since launch

if you report on all the time gated implementations arena net uses to avoid putting actual content in their game you’ll never run out of things to podcast

here’s an idea, complete your inventory space
and acquire a bank tab

i can see every pixel drools

Actually, Anet is using the gem money to build a secret volcano base.

no, they’re having whoever they can afford at the time build it for them

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Bottomless_pit

epic link, i’ll explain what it is.. this bottomless pit or “collapse” if you will is where gw2 was going to be but supposedly someone from ncsoft didn’t like it, so arena net worked tirelessly to make the game we all know and love today and we should or shouldn’t thank them for it

Anet is slowly killing their own creation by making it like every other MMO in the market. farmville variant

fixed that for you

warlords of draenor. .
i see what you did there

the game has thousands of play hours in it, so if you’re comfortable with the price then log in as much as you’d like.. don’t take it too seriously and maybe find a few friends who are willing to work on whatever you’re doing too and it’ll be great

i really recommend to not play this game the way it is ‘expected to be played’ because at that point it becomes a phenomenal trainwreck. . . if that makes any sense

more monkeys !
see what i did there ._.

seriously though, if i could personally add something to the game it would be a new quest format.. oracle of the mist daily
each day players have the choice to enter the hall of monuments
there they will meet an unnamed specter
this entity will commission tyrian heroes to complete any 1 of 3 tasks presented
tasks consist of Any quest/event/encounter already existing in game
players will not only be told what the quest is but why they are doing it
upon completion player will receive 2 champ loot containers of various type
and an echo of dark matter per task completed
obtaining 50 tokens will unlock a warbeast mini
100 will unlock a title timeless mercenary

i don’t find this any more annoying than some of the things that were implemented
had good voice acting

it’s under some seaweed.. it’s actually kinda hard to recognize after looking at the photo 5 times and still somewhat hard to get into z__z

there’s an achievement for feeding a giants pet while you’re up there. . . so you might want to get that, i forget what it’s called

all this needs is the draenor preview and a ley line finisher pasted onto the end
r.i.p. arena net

if i ever get a precursor i might delete it out of principle,
never got one in 5k hours played though so whatever. .

my personal reward level is 7
how many of these can i get per day?

i’ve deleted all my alts and only have my main at lvl 80

i did one at lvl 6 today, if i do one in another tier, like lvl 10 will i get 2 today?

i make roughly 8 to 12 gold an hour, and that’s when i give a baby-cat enough to log in anymore.. it’s not dungeons or trading post, but of course you’re not impressed, you make 100 or so gold in the 15 minutes you log in each day right. . .

yeah all that “casual” trading post flipping is so worth the time of day

what’s the trouble with tribbles?

Gaile Gray.6029:

I don’t know. Sky looks almost aqua/turquoise on my monitor.

legendary armor dye, armor, quaggans, hills, dragons, npc’s and ui confirmed.. just pump up your monitor settings    \ >_< /

Nightshade.2570:

Remove the game downleveling in lower level areas and allow players to PVP only in 1-15 PVE starter areas.

Oh yes its sadistic, and I shudder for every uplevel that would walk out that portal…

at first glance pvp in gw2 open world would seem absurd.. but at this point i don’t see why not.. i really do wonder what an open world pvp implementation would do.. we know from any mmo that an all out pvp server would be a total fail, not that arena net could afford to implement one at this point anyway.. but what if they could implement some conditional pvp in open world.. make it like silent hill that when the sirens sound pvp will corrupt an area lol.. there could be a way to earn immunity, just have to make it accessible to newbies without making it so boring that the pvp implementation becomes redundant.. i bet profession balance would get some fresh perspective away from the usual pvp cheesers.. sigh, yeah.. horrible idea

danm, “guy who gets coffee and actually cares about the game” isn’t on the list
maybe next year. .

my main is pretty bored at this point and i’m always looking for something non-legendary.. i have most of the perma items excluding silver o matic and portable mystic forge.. i quit on hairstylist kit when i realized it doesn’t offer eye color or tattoo change.. i’m not going to address the new “feature patch” but the collections they threw in are sub-standard.. either someone threw it together at the last minute, or they are clueless about mmorpg.. several of the drops in the treasure hunter collection are just in there to promote older lesser traveled content.. i’m not going to get into their market value and susceptibility to manipulation and the availability/drop rate but i assure you it’s total junk.. obviously i gave up on that and went back to craft a similar item, mawdrey 2.. farmed some drytop, which wasn’t too bad and then i got to the point where i needed pristine fractal relics -_- no surprise they’re time gated and it’ll take me 5 days.. now before i sound entitled, let me just point out that i’m not aiming for anything super special, it’s just standard things that are implemented between larger patches.. why does arena net have such compulsions against common sense development? if i wanted to ruin things, i’d just take all the good things gw2 has to offer and just lazily sandwich it right in with all the bad things about gw2.. i can’t even think of a good analogy of how messed up the game is right now, it simply defies logic.. i’m tired of the dog and pony show, i’m going to allow things like rift expansion garner my attention until something like draenor arrives.. and no i don’t even ‘like’ warcraft

my achievement based luck helped put me over 300 and i’m not sure but it seemed to function better when i reached 300 through non-achievement based luck.. i could be wrong though and i can’t really advise someone to do so, but if it were me i would consume luck until your baseline is 300 without achievement rewards

tldr
i did stuff
i like gw1, i don’t like gw2

gw2 would be fine if it wasn’t continually bogged down by bad decision making, if you don’t like it
don’t play it

no clue.. but my advice is you avoid that collection until arena net changes it
it’s a complete sham

actually they consolidated their teams and that’s why living world hasn’t sucked this year.. adventure box took a hit though, which i could care less for because it is total fluff content and so did dragon bash sad to have nothing on this as it ties into lore and is off putting that they couldn’t implement some fireworks, a bonfire.. or even a dragon piñata? next there will be no more norn moots and asurans won’t build golems. . reason? umm, scarlet and/or dragons. . i guess

seriously though, to be more on topic.. they supposedly have things storyboarded a year in advance.. i’m sure development is a bit adaptable but not to the extent that player concerns are going to influence it.. if they didn’t think of it, it’s not getting done..
arena net boasted this intricate living world and i doubt they have the resources.. i really would have liked to see the holo-projector replace the lions statue and for the place to get a new name and mascot.. this is past tense as i have no confidence towards such things anymore.. i will patiently wait for new living story installments and not be surprised if certain things remain un-polished

how you would ruin things
i would, umm.. make people read this thread

i find it hilarious that a thread that went on for pages in the trading post forum, is only half way down page 1 in the general forum and people are already posting “this is a non-issue.” maybe it is true that having this pick generates a sprocket here and there upon use, but it is such a drop in the bucket.. i have a sprocket generator in my home instance, and easily enough gold i could have acquired the pick when it was available.. i probably wouldn’t even trade my molten pick in for a watchwork one.. the gain is too trivial, looking at the nominal change in sprocket prices over the past few months, it’s clearly moving at a stable rate compared to other things in game.. and as this barely affects the majority of players in game, i’m willing to bet just a bit that the people it actually does are the ones going off about it.. probably promoting “the principle of the matter” in a sad attempt to force a market shift

in the end i’m not against suggestions to make the “gear” we’re talking about more balanced for everyone.. but i do find it a slight waste of the developers time.. by all means though go on for 10 pages and hope for a red post

typically on this forum posting a half-decent suggestion is almost guaranteed a baseless snarky retort.. that is not my intention but i have to agree with people on this issue that if it bothers you, you should just get the high end one when it’s in the gem shop

if you think this year was bad, obviously you weren’t here last year
living story actually had. . . story.. the only downside was we lost dragon bash
game balance.. been here 2 years and have yet to see it so you can’t really say last years was better.. some user interface improvements, and set backs.. i agree that the game is currently a clusterfo0o0o of disorganization, but they’ve always shown poor decision making.. game economy is pretty horrible, but it’s been a gradual crawl toward 1g = 1gem since the games first holiday release.. some loot nerfs and barely a handful of exploit fixes.. content updates that aren’t really pushing the envelope, but they did happen this year

summary – i’m still waiting for a non-lackluster year from arena net

there’s a new veggie node in the home instance {gem store}
and it actually dropped decent return, so whoever did their homework over at arena net thank you

y’know how long it took me to decide on the purchase, about ten seconds.. it’s a minor content addition and despite it costing gems, it’s functional.. ergo it has value and can be appreciated.. why am i going off on a tangent about it? well, i feel it is necessary at this point to express my concerns as a casual {yet heavy hours per day} player..

there’s nothing wrong with spending gems, you can earn them in game.. the problem is content itself.. elitist entitlement crowds aside, as mmo developers you need to deeply consider how the content of your game is implemented.. veggie node vs enchanted treasure chest.. collections are a great idea, and it can’t be amazingly difficult on your end seeing how mini collection used to contribute to achievement points.. you’re simply tacking on a reward at the end now.. anyway, what does a home instance node, a collection quest, and the trading post have in common.. the simple answer is nothing..

somewhere along the development stage things got askew.. thrown into these collections are rare tradable items.. it’s just a grievance to people trying to earn something in game and a failed attempt to revitalize the economy and lesser traveled content..

if you want people to spend gems, earn your customers trust
if you want people to participate in wvw, give them a sense of server community
if you want people to explore dungeons, build better dungeons
if you want pvp, don’t sublet your mmorpg
if we post irrationally, the forum becomes a trivial wasteland

as incoherent as this post has been, it is what came to mind when i browsed the gem store this morning..  purpose / functionality = appreciation ~ value

oh and btw, there’s a free wxp booster in the promo tab this morning
sept 16
cheers

hello arctic fox, i own you as a mini >:p
seriously though, they said there were some glitches with the character progression and there have been several patches post release, soo.. i wouldn’t worry about it

all i know is i’ve spent 5.4k hours on this game and have never seen a drop worth more than 40g.. furthermore, i’ve been banned for no reason and my account reinstated with a hero chest full of the most gawd aweful ugly armor i’ve ever seen to which arena net claims is a bug..

can we please get elementals that attack the elementalist who summons them? i’ve been on this game for 2 years and it just seems like the logical next step for elemenetalists

dead elementalist

the collections they did were pretty horrible, i honestly don’t think they gave it the time of day.. if they turned it around, i wouldn’t mind more collections

there was a huge deal awhile ago i got all 4 games.. i was going to play them in order but i think i’m going to farm hall of monuments points first ‘sigh’
ironically i don’t think gw2 is a very wholesome environment, i’ve resigned myself to as much single player-able content as possible.. so maybe gw1 will be a good break from it

B+    for effort

i’m queen jennah and i approve this message

nawh, all the appropriately organized tabs and functionality went out the window
y’know, cuz..  sliders!

c’mon, it’s not like arena net purposefully put items into a quest that they knew would be quickly and easily price gouged.. it’s not like they knew that implementing 1 of the 6 lousy added items in the home instance since launch as the quest reward would goad older dedicated players into farming tired, old, broken content.. it’s not like their sole purpose is to sham new players into thinking this game isn’t a derelict ghost town.. c’mon now

i’m knut whitebear and i approve this message

let me tell you a wonderful story about a time, gold, and money sink that has absolutely nothing to do with new enriched content. . . .

i remember awhile ago they asked if their leveling needed any rework.. and much like every other aspect of this game the resounding answer was fix bugs, diminish exploits, and squeeze in some additional improvements.. and as always the solution of solutions put forth by arena net was overdue overhaul
and as always
the response from the player community was “how did you surmise that 2 + 2 = potato”

you want to take a vote? i vote stop deliberately destroying this game

how’s everyone coming along with their new collections? i for one was ecstatic when i got to the low drop rate at the end of wonky events items. and don’t think i didn’t have a cheery smile when i realized they where price gouged trading post items too! i’m just beside myself with joy that i get to experience the wondrous realm of arah. it’s hard to get in the door though, there’s just so many helpful people lined up to explore such a well designed dungeon

let me know how it is for you i am curious

Post Patch: What do you plan to do?

 —— away all my gold, time, or real world money like arena net wants me to?

it’s to the point where i don’t even find their content playable.. i may just take an aspirin and find a new game..

i’ve long suspected this game had poor player retention and was feeding off of tyria’s revolving door.. they continually gut their dedicated players to bait new ones and pad the bottom line of a select few who have gained the favor of their all encompassing rng.. it’s easier to glamour the facade of an enriched gaming environment than to actually do it

it sounds spiteful, but it’s really just lamentation.. i put 5k hours in this game and really wanted to enjoy it, a lot of work went into it i’m sure, but i am tired of jumping through hoops while trying to find any semblance of disgrievance.. i hope the next harvest of customers finds a good thing with where this game is headed

well it’s gw2 pvp, it’s counterintuitive to utilize effort

i’m taking a quick moment this morning to point out two non-skills
gust – long disliked by many, it has had its rework and was in some instances useful.. but as the game slowly evolves, this skill is more than ever a bit useless.. i think a ground targeted, short distance blowout would be an impressive rework
lightning surge – it would be shallow to baselessly ask for a faster stronger skill.. this skill provides a fair amount of damage when there is zerk behind it and the aoe blind is good support.. unfortunately it is a rather long cast time and you need to baby it that it doesn’t get cut off and fails to land.. what is so shacking about this skill is it is the only one that actually comes out of the elementalists staff! jokes aside, it’s a skill you want to use and then most of the time regret activating

Unhappy with the direction GW2 is heading

honestly i think they’ve done some really great things this year,
unfortunately arena net’s unfavorable contributions seem to hit so much harder

i’m not writing this out of spite, but maybe it’s time for them to pack things up
