Guild Wars 2

Relots.6439:

Hey guys, I thought I would try and give this old post a bump. I would like to try this again. Something about it keeps me coming back for more. Could be the rush, could be that for once I feel emotionally invested in one of my characters, no idea what the reason actually is, but I am sure that someone out there would like to join up.

/Hardcore Relots

I just re-roll a few weeks ago, I know this is impossible but still I try to avoid death as… well, death.
However, I already die a few times and I don’t even remember how (I know it wasn’t in a fight) but still, without the fear to die, the game isn’t the same and something force me to try again but unfortunately, that’s not cheap (already deleted 5 or 6 chars with around 50-110g invested on them).

But well, to anyone with a survivor complex like me trying this, I wish you all the best of luck, you will need it

By the way, you miss this one:

Also, when I bought the game back on October, this one along with the rogue bull, the one with the roadblock and the bandits in the windmill was very frequents, however the meta-event “The Battle for Beetletun” was bugged, then Anet fix it and the rest stop working so i wonder if they made a mistake on the code and screw those events?

Musha.4025:

It was told to me today by a content designer on another forum post that many of the above listed events are triggered when there are more players present. Since these starting areas are much less frequented now than at game’s release, that would explain why these events haven’t been seen in so long.

That’s a very stupid system. No matter how popular a game is, PvE zones would end totally empty very soon after releasing the game.

I really hope someone on Anet is willing to change that (as well as fixing the bugged ones). Someone took the time to make those events and people like myself would be happy to complete every single of them.

LameFox.6349:

lol. If they have events that require a high population in zones where a world event doesn’t happen, it’s no wonder they effectively ceased to exist.

Actually that might also explain why I’ve done that Destiny’s Edge one in Queensdale… probably SB was up.

That one is bugged and can be completed after a server reset.

Musha.4025:

Caledon Forest

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Rescue_sylvan_pups_from_their_troll_captors
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Defeat_the_enraged_troll_king

O_o? I never hear/read about those. And I thought Caledon just had 2 events with problems (though I just know the events listed on the wiki and I finish all the last time I explored that map a few days ago).

As someone who love to do EVERYTHING, this is disheartening.

Also, how you know those event exist? Did you see them before they got bugged or you have another source?
I mean, wiki is highly incomplete and although some are listed as bugged or unknown, many are missing.

Parthis.2091:

I don’t get the mesmer change. It’s already strong with confusion, so now, it’s a class that can punish you for using abilities and punish you for moving..

This was exactly my first tough.

I think this condition is going to be pretty much like fear. Designed to necros, improved for others, nerfed for us -_-

• Hey, lets add a new condition!
• Yeah, but how?
• DS #5
• OMG! That’s a great idea!
• Hey, you know what would be even more great? Let give it to the mesmer and the thief too!
• ZOMG! YES! MESMERS FTW!
• They should have a strongest and reliable version too!
• Wait, necros already have DS
• Lulz, you’r right, lets nerf Torment for them >:-(

Mark my words.

Seriously? I mean, nice cut-scene and all but c’mon, not all of us are easily impressed for 5 minutes of work.

Also, no skip option?

Valandil Dragonhart.2371:

where as the vuvuzela can only play one …. annoying…. note.

That’s exactly what people is doing with the horn…

I’m the only one who thinks Toughness should work more like precision but instead granting crit chance, give a chance to resist CC?

I mean, I recently switch from soldier to zerker (though my build is 20/0/20/30/0 so I’m not exactly a glass cannon and my survival come from the traits, not the extra hp/armor) and I can tank pretty much the same so yes, toughness right now is totally useless (same with vitality).

So, in my opinion, this change, along with nerfing the dmg deal by mobs (or increasing the dmg reductions from armors alone) and increase the CC (except in those zones already filled with a lot of CC) would make toughness more useful.

Pffft, my necro is way more beautiful than whatever her name is >:-(

By the way, NPC’s are meant to be unique (at least important ones). So I highly doubt we will have access to that face (I would love to have a charr with Rox face but that’s not going to happen )

I was really enjoying it until that parasite of Thackeray showed up -_-

But yes, pretty well done and funny to watch

Forming a charr boy band? That’s a pretty good idea actually (no need to be formed by charrs).
It will be great if someone do this but here is when the “macro problems” may be more noticeable; if a group of people with talent can do that, I bet a lot of people will send them some money and then, someone can just do the same with a macro and earn some extra money without doing anything and even if there is no money involved, it wouldn’t be fair.

I used to b) all the time, until one day I landed dead, since then, I just a)

“Does this program allow someone to play faster, better, longer, or more accurately than someone who doesn’t use it?”

YES

“Does this program allow someone to ‘play’ when he/she is not at the computer?”

YES

Playing an instrument is playing the game and therefore rules apply to instruments too.

But don’t listen to me, just use macros on your vuvuzela and enjoy your ban

Note: For 800 gems it will be a great idea being able to record a tune and being able to send some codes to other players so they can play it automatically.

Whoever played GW1 can tell you Anet have a thing for confirmation messages (the funny thing is some needed confirmation messages are totally neglected but well).

Maybe they just want us to buy the official GW mouse

Hamartia.3421:

Noticing lots of padding and almost no real content.

This game is amazing and I love it— because of the content that came out at launch through October.

I don’t know if different people are in charge or what— but the direction you’re taking the game in is bad.

That’s why I stoped paying attention the kittenty new content (temporal so who cares) and the stupid rewards (useless shinies anyways) and focus only on the game I paid for (you know, the hearts and dynamics events all around the world) and I’m really enjoying it (except for all the bugged event, that really bother me but well, better than nothing).

neonreaper.4805:

Did anyone ever buy the wings with 100 jorbs?

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

Beware, beware, the fanboys comes.

But yes, pretty stupid but at least we don’t have to run like idiots to beat other players.

I can’t believe Anet really make this.
I was expecting some kind of learn to dance kitten with pre-made tunes but they really did it in the right way this time but…
800 GEMS??? For something useless I will use only while waiting for some afkers in a dungeon run? NO TY!

Hahaha, my god, those fanboys are really funny.
Complaining about people complaining asking if they don’t have nothing better to do yet, they do exactly the same. Way to go!

NCsoft paid for this game. No NCsoft = No GW2, simple as that.

Whenever you buy gems or the game itself, the money goes to NCsoft who already invested money in this game so, what’s the problem?

And just you know, keeping an online game cost a kittenload of money (specially big ones like GW).
Also, people on Anet don’t work for free so, if we don’t buy gems, then NCsoft will shutdown the servers and of course, no work for Anet, no GW for you and no bowls of chocolate chip ice cream for my necro.
So if you really love GW and want to keep playing for many more years then buy gems, after all, you are making NCsoft more rich but in the end, you are supporting Anet and GW.

Kravick.4906:

I wonder why only the norn and humans got them. I didn’t see any of the other races with swimsuits. Perhaps thats why we haven’t seen them in the gem store yet? They haven’t finished modeling them on the other races?

^this

I would love to have the first and the last 2 for my char but I think that’s not going to happens.

Besides, southsun is over so, what’s the point?

Also, many people with ridiculous morals values have strong feelings against anything more revealing than a nun habit (I’m still shocking those people don’t complain about females chars being able to do anything besides cooking) so Anet must be careful not to insult those people.

No!

/15charrs

Working as intended my friend.

Get used to that, after all, is the favorite “way” to “fix” things in this game.

William Fairfield.1428:

During my live stream on Friday I confirmed that the Dragon Ball achievements would not count towards the overall. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Thanks, glad you take the time to inform the rest of us 3 hours ago -_-

I’m so happy to waste 3 hours on your kittenty pvp activity and help those leechers to get some extra candies

Nobody likes charrs, that’s why >:(

They are stupid, smelly and probably have fleas so why waste time with them?

DeShadowWolf.6854:

The Dragon Ball achievements currently do not count towards Dragon Bash Experience, to clarify.

I hate pvp, I really do but I spend 3 kittening hours doing this kitten (with 2 afkers) just to find out they don’t count… feels bad

The female light armor looks like a bad mix from different armors.

Yeah yeah, thanks for the minis, hurrah -_-

But seriously, THANK YOU for the “Right-Click to Attack/Interact” option, that’s among the best fix/polish thing ever

I suppose this is pretty much like Sida (a female norn from GW:EN).

She was renamed on some localizations but still, if you going to add offensive names on the game only because it means nothing in english, then don’t be so strict when a player choose a offensive name in other language.

Im Mudbone.1437:

I’m lovin the Moa races, but, have to say that it would have been AWESOME if it were like the rollerbeatle races and we were transformed into the Moa’s that are in the race.

I was expecting that actually but I guess charging people with 50s for doing nothing is more profitable, after all, people with gambling problems will be more willing to buy gems to change them for gold than people wanting to have fun.

Vayne.8563:

Why did you spend the only 50 silver you had on a gamble. That makes less than no sense. The Moa race is here to stay. Just wait till you have some money before you gamble.

tldr; Never bet more than you can afford to (or are wiling to) lose.

Maybe because I forgot I can make 25g in 1 day…

Jeez, some ppl are so sensitive, I was bashing the kittening bird and no, I’m not going to spend a single cooper in that kitten ever again (not that the race accept coppers but well).

Hoyvin.3241:

Love the moa races. Meep is king.

A scoreboard would be nice.

Yeah, I spend the only 50s I had on that bird and a now I have no money, THX Anet, you’r great -_-

We? Everybody’s friend list?
So all those people swarming around me when I’m trying to do an event are some kind of ghosts?
Oh wait, I get it, they must be bots right?
Same with all my guildies and followers online most of the time right?
OH MY GOOD! EVERYTHING IS A LIE!

Whatever, next time use “I need” instead and “MY friend list” and stop talking for me.

Also, as many already said, leave, the whole world is full of games with lots of things to do and most are or are going F2P.
I’m pretty sure the hundreds of people buying gems with real money and the thousands playing the game will not miss you.

Why? They can add more skins instead.

HM in GW was implemented to extend the live of the game, We also had Heroes/Henchies to avoid the lack of people in the world.

GW2 is not even 1 year old with no expansions and there is no way to bypass the lack of people in the world. Also, only very few people want or are able to do “challenger” content. Most people avoid a simple Group Event Boss because is too hard and even simple dungeons like AC is beyond their abilities.

So, should Anet waste development time to please a very few people? IMO, no.

Of course, if those people want a HM so badly, Anet can always release a “HM Expansion” trough the Gem Store (for 8k gems) or simply sell it for real money.

Ambrecombe.4398:

Now on the other hand I am just a bit disapointed those are not account bound, I could realy use a pick on my Necro reroll.

I know that feel bro

Hopefully, Anet will release them again as a special offer or make a un-soulbound stone or something like that.

Calae.1738:

Careful now… this game is targeting children.

That explain all the “racism” in-game, oh wait…

Necromancers

15charr

So, an Asura calling a human “bookah” or a Sylvari being called “salad boy” is racist?

What’s next? Complains about killing pretty much everything in-game? Should I call the cops whenever someone jump into a centaurs camp and kill everyone inside?

Or what about complaining about certain attires? Should we start a protest because the skirt of some females is too short?

But wait, we have alcohol in-game too! Oh god Anet, what the kitten is wrong with you?

Somebody please think of the children!

OK Anet, you fixed the sickle in no time. You fixed one necromancer trait just as fast and another is supposedly ready to go in the next patch.

Now, that’s fine, speaks well of you but please, can you fix the targeting? I’m sick of targeting inanimate objects and harmless yellow critters in Caledon Forest when I’m fighting the kittening champions in Queensdale.

I know there is a lot of problems (bugged events, ridiculously respawn rates, unbalanced champions, unbalanced professions, bugged skills/traits, etc) but IMO, targeting is one of the most frustrating (well, the others are equally frustrating but this one is the worst).

I didn’t noticed the bug but well, thank you I guess 0~0

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

Glad it was worth the effort.

Holy cow! I just used it and WOW! Glad you care enough to change it

Note: is amazing how something that last for less than a second can change everything.

That’s for kitten!

Perma-death should be: You die, you lost your account. Wanna, try again? Buy a new account.

Note: I find amusing how a “bad word” is replaced with another word meaning exactly the same -_-

2 Game Designer in the necromancer forum? And they fix a bug in 2 days and another fix is ready to go?

I knew it, is the end of the world!

And when Anet add raids you will finish them, get bored, demand new ones, finish them, get bored, demand new ones, etc, etkittenil you found a new game without raids and move there to ask for raids leaving us, players who bought GW2 to get away from kittenty-raids-games or loyal GW players looking for a quality game like the original, with a lot of unwanted content nobody will do ever, and with a poorly developed game because Anet was to busy creating raids for you to pay attention to the rest of the game.

The thing is: If you love WoW Raids (or from any other of the bazillions of clones out there), WHY THAT HELL ARE YOU HERE ASKING FOR RAIDS? WoW is still online (same with most of their clones) as far as I’m aware.
If raids are truly that awesome, why don’t go and keep playing there?

And no, I’m not asking you to leave GW if you don’t like it or those kitten fanboys always said, I’m legitimately asking why, if raids are so great and there is already hundred of games with that system, why come to GW and ask for raids instead of keep playing in WoW?

Also, this is a F2P game, shinies and aesthetics items belong to the Gem Store. If we we could get shiny weapons by finishing a 10-15 men dungeon then, what would be Anet profit?

Really Anet? Are you kittening kidding me? I just got the sickle and I was like WTF?

The first harvest with it, I forgot I have it. The second, I noticed the animation and on the third I noticed the sickle.

First: We harvest to fast and move to the next thing right away so noticing the animation is hard.
We have to stand still to noticed and “Hey! I’ll stay here and wait for the animations to show” is not an option.

Second: Again, using the sickle is so fast we can barely notice the sickle itself. Take the Molten Alliance Mining Pick for example; the moment we start mining, the pick stands for itself (the rest of the animation just make it awesome).
Adding some effect to the sickle will definitely improve it.

Third: The animation is barely noticeable, not only because the delay is to long, but because is to small. Also, the animations is perfect, just perfect for a logging axe but for a sickle not to much.
Changing it to something different like a lightning/flashing effect would be great (again, we harvest to fast that it will make sense).

Now, if changing any of that is to hard, just turn it into a logging axe (it doesn’t look like an axe but it doesn’t look like a sickle neither).

Finally, if you still want to make profit but are to lazy to do something of quality like the MAMP, next time just release unlimited gathering tools without any effect and problem solved, I assure you we will get them without hesitation (although you have to sell the 3 for 800 gems or it will be a fraud).

JonathanSharp.7094:

Thanks guys, we’ll fix it.

-Chap

HOLY MOTHER OF GRENTH!!!

Someone from Anet in the necromancer’s forum? And the Game Designer?

It the end of the world I tell you, the end of the world!!!

As someone who used to run with soldier/knight and recently switched to zerker, I can assure you DS has been always affected by toughness.

NCsoft/Anet/Whatever greed is getting wild, that’s why you get re-skinned/copy-paste items.

They don’t care about quality anymore (implying they ever care about quality), they know people will buy any fancy/shiny item like hot cakes, regardless of being just a re-skinned item.

Personally, I will gladly buy the 8k gems pack if they fixed all the bugs we have since the beta and another 8k if they make a proper profession balance but for them, selling crap and RNG is way more profitable and since people buy them no matter how cheap/crappy they are, expect more items like the kitten (next time it will be a kitten with stripes and then a kitten with spots and if you are lucky, a kitten with heterochromia).

Fixing bugs don’t make people buy gems, shinies does.

Your intentions may be good but Anet is more than aware of all bugs, they just choose to ignore them or say they are working as intended (also, if you think 1 skill bugged since beta is something, you should try a necro).
