Guild Wars 2

No, it won’t.

Many people use it without problems and if I recall correctly, someone from ArenaNet said it’s OK since don’t give any advantage at all (NOTE: OK =/= supported by).

I tried myself but I didn’t like.

The point of adding new content is to discovering said content -_-

BeardSanity.5623:

Seems like an interesting convenience item that saves quite some clicking. But I can’t find it in the gem store? Was it one-time promotion only?

4-days only, few weeks ago.

Google FTW!

Just an AVG error. Never liked that PoS.

MeGaZlo.9516:

So, dev-s took her famous pie recipe and gave her a… spoon instead. Quarter of queensdale discusses her pie and now it’s just gone… What a loss… Why are you doing such horrible things, A-net?! Why?!?!

What is more amusing is the fact that now you go there with all the intention to help, kill a lot of big-kitten spiders risking your life, fight equally terrifying bats, BUT if you dare to ask her for a slice of delicious apple pie, SHE kittenING THROW IT AT YOUR FACE!!!

MeGaZlo.9516:

Oh. My. God.
Arlo’s watermelons has been confiscated from the shelves! His children and rabbits will die of hunger now! Why, A-net?! Why?!?!

About time that kitten put a kittening lock in the godkitten door.

AlienMenace.7516:

I think these are the major Personal Story plot holes they are likely talking about.

Mhh, I think I’ll save my char’s sister and stop right there. Thanks for your answer

Gaile Gray.6029:

• Plot holes and story inconsistencies that may have been introduced with story

Plot holes? What plot holes???

I’m doing my PS as soon as I’m able and I don’t want to find plot holes so if anyone can tell me which chapter(s) have plot holes, I will be most grateful.

rapthorne.7345:

What I’m trying to do is turn the shadow assassin outfit from it’s original bluish colour to an actual black, So I guess it’s mostly cloth, but with metal pauldrons?

Abyss looks to be exactly what I’m after, but the current market value of 63 gold is waaaaaaay out of my price range

Don’t worry for that. When I started to play, 8g (the price of the black dye) seemed like a lot. Abyss was 12g, so I was like nope, I’ll never going to get enough gold.

However, after 1.5 years, I found myself with +1.3k gold spent in dyes (mostly Abyss ans Celestial).

If you really want this, do your dailies, gather and kill everything you can and sell all your mats (use laurels to buy Heavy Crafting Bag). You’ll get the gold in no time.

Charcoal. Technically same as black but with a different hue.

Did anyone try what Ark Bladesteele said?

Besides the updates, deleting my C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2 folder was the only thing I did.

Tonics? What tonics? Oh right… Those tonics!

Maybe if they do this, they regain some players and calm down some others

/signed

I finally got rid of the PS/LS crap on my screen and now this? Bah!

Update: After the latest patch, the game run as smooth as before

I always used (and still use) the TP in WvW anyways. After all, you’ll find everything there (bank included) way faster than running to this guy or the nearest city and for me, a lone TP merchant is useless.

Confirmed bug. Don’t wait a fix too soon, though.

I liked the patch but not all is sweet.

• The new compass is very useful.

Agreed. But it’s either bugged or bad designed. I was very excited about being able to see nearby events but this thing work when or how it want.
Sometimes, nearby events are ignored and events far away are announced. This thing could use some tweaks.

• Lots of loot

o_O..? I barely get anything besides garbage. And the gear you get when leveling is useless to me.

• USEFUL loot! Often with selectable stats.

Haven’t found any of those. I’ll check later.

• The story system.

Agreed. Many people ignore the old system until they hit lvl 80 or complain about the lvl gap.
Most complains about this are kitten key farmers. If ArenaNet revert those changes BUT, remove the keys, the same people will find another excuse to complain).

• Anything where content is REMOVED is a big negative in my eyes.

I don’t like when they mess with old content. But they already did it before and only few of us complain. I don’t see why everyone is complaining now.

• The goshdarned weapon skill gating

One of my favorite changes (to each his own) but c’mon! You’ll hit lvl 10 in no time.

• The pandering

WUT? I didn’t notice but are you sure is not a bug? Or maybe they just forgot this change is not necessary here.

• Carrot-on-a-stick and lying about it. (New players are generally not stupid either).

Never underestimate human stupidity. If people aren’t stupid, explain to me why people fail to dodge at Teq’s waves or run like headless chicken on the Triple Trouble event?

Asmodeus.5782:

After you stop playing the game, the only thing that’ll remain with you is fun you had. Not what you grinded, you’ll be sorry about that.

/clap Q_Q

data.4093:

Opening up the options window and looking at the FPS counter tells me I’m doing fine. It’ll say 30-40fps when I’m really getting 10-15. Can’t play like this…

Tien.3865:

My FPS remains about the same, but I’ve been having noticeable stuttering issues since the patch.

This!

Though, it seems to be a little better now, however, the stuttering is still noticeable.

I love being in a empty map (though I only got in one the first day after the patch and I wasn’t really playing, just chatting about the changes).
And with the current problem of 10 or more players (not counting the lvl 80s who never leave the lvl 1-15 areas) trying to kill 2 or 3 extremely weak mobs, you really wish to end in one of those maps :/

However, you can’t expect them to run a whole server instance just for you or a couple of players.

Not only that, the absolutely “worthless” dynamic level adjustment need an urgent improvement.

Why so many changes supposedly aimed to improve a new player experience (changes that upset a lot of people) if any lvl 80 is going to kill EVERYTHING before anyone else have the chance to even land a hit?

“Oh look! A new player! Here, let me hold your hand, take this reward and don’t worry for the mean monsters, we have an army of lvl 80 players killing everything for you.”

Right now, participating in events is really frustration. A “kill-stealing competition” is the more accurate way to describe the game right now, except if a lvl 80 is near, then there is no contest :/

sigh… you are lvl 39 and you didn’t bother to equip a rare when you were lvl 35 but, for some reason the sole idea of rares being locked at lvl 39 (which isn’t the case) bother you so much that you have the need to rage on the forum?

If people could stop posting complains before know how things works, this forum may become a nice place -_-

So no bug after all -_-

At least is gone… Next time please “think” before make another stupid/unnecessary change. It gets hard to support or defend you when you do moves like this.

Abe Kleine.3568:

Are you kittening kidding me, they need to give you a kittening tutorial on PRESSING THE V KEY?

You obviously missed the Knights… And you obviously have never been in a Teq event.

Stephane Lo Presti.7258:

>While this is currently working as intended

lul wat

This was moved by a Mod, not a Dev.

This “MAY” be a bug, and as such, it fit this sub-forum. But don’t get your hopes high, they never fixed the running animation or the hair clipping introduced months ago.

Maliel.8362:

What are you talking about, my game now runs at constant 60 fps, pre patch it was like 45.

I’m not the only one so this may affect only certain systems. In the past I had no problems while other complained about fps drops.
But yes, pre-patch I was able to play at 60 fps, now runs at 30-40 (even if I turn the setting to best performance, I still notice a fps drop).

My character hasn’t been idle so I didn’t notice this. Now I wonder what my character is going to do during the LS cinematics :/

Dear ArenaNet (and whoever made these changes).

I just want to thank you for the small/not-listed changes made to the game.

Specially for the changes to the NPCs. Finally I can play the game with the maximum number of players at low without see all those injured soldiers standing or those fake ghost roaming around

This and so many other little details really revived my love for this game.

Now if you can fix the performance issue (FPS drop) introduce yesterday and make the game run smoothly again, I will be most grateful.

Sarcasm..?

I just saw a Charr (filthy animals) killing a Vet with 1 hit (as always) :/

phys.7689:

its not about what you need to kill monsters, its about how boring it is.

level 1-10 used to be more exciting than level 1-20 is now. that is the problem. its boring.

its not that the game is impossible now, its that its boring, i was constantly watching my level bar the whole time. It didnt used to be like that, leveling would just happen before i realized it.

As someone who has re-roll a kittenloads of times in the last couple of months I don’t get it.

I did the same but now I lvl up faster. Still same events, same weak mobs… If you think is boring maybe is the game and not the changes?

I can confirm this.

I changed my setting on Monday to improve my performance (shaders/shadows at low) and as expected, the game run smoothly. Today it run awfully, especially on Divinity (and is not the amount of players because is the same in my home instance.

Evans.6347:

So you’re one of those “Press 1 to win” people who keep insisting all you need to play GW2 is your auto attack. Well, you are entitled to your opinion, but it appears that quite a bit of people do not share that sentiment and are being pretty vocal about it too.

Where you used to have to option to dumb your game experience down to just that, it has now become mandatory for the early game. And that is not ok for me either.

Also, you’re clutching at straws with your random Key farmer arguments.

I just pressed #1 for minutes before unlocking all the others

And I only mentioned the key farming in 1 of 9 points -_-

zenleto.6179:

Map completion.

So they are gone like forever? I had the impression you had to hit certain level to unlock them… In this case, it have to be a bug.

phys.7689:

weapon skills earned via leveling only
weapon swap pushed to level 15
personal story requires 10 levels of grinding between each part.
utilities pushed to 35
skill points in starter areas that you cant access
confusion on non skill based unlocks
underwater combat with 1 skill
certain proffessions make little sense without unlocks (dual wield on theif disabled) locked proffesion skills.

basically makes leveling feel like a race to get unkitten, with little actual specific golds other than grind exp

First of all: Thank you.

Now,

1. weapon skills earned via leveling only

You unlock all in no time. There is not real underwater combat at low levels so no need to unlock underwater weapons ASAP.
Also, there is no need to unlock every single weapon one by one.

2. weapon swap pushed to level 15

One single weapon is already too strong for lvl -15 areas and again, you hit lvl 15 in no time.

3. personal story requires 10 levels of grinding between each part.

Ha! Key farm kitten.

4. utilities pushed to 35

Same as point 2

5. skill points in starter areas that you cant access

Stupid yes, but it break nothing. Did people really need those skill point right away?

6. confusion on non skill based unlocks

I don’t get this one :/ (sorry, it’s a little late)

7. underwater combat with 1 skill

See point 1

8. certain proffessions make little sense without unlocks (dual wield on theif disabled) locked proffesion skills.

Kind of dumb but see point 1

9. basically makes leveling feel like a race to get unkitten, with little actual specific golds other than grind exp

To each his own I guess.

Evans.6347:

“Lv1-40 is terrible.”

Yep, all the feedback ArenaNet need to change things :/

Evans.6347:

daimasei.4091:

And finally, lets be honest. Most complains are from kitten key farmers. If they leave the game I can assure no one is going to miss them.

Actually, out of the plentiful complaining topics on this matter, I have seen little complaints about key farming and much, much more about the tediousness of it all.

Mmh, can you make a simple list of complains not related to the key farm nerf?

OK! I really enjoyed the new game-play. I’m just at lvl 14 but I really enjoyed the trip.

I was really kittened about the Copper-Fed-o-Matic change (and still think is beyond stupid) but, since leveling is obscenely fast, I don’t see too much problem.

Of course, some changes are bad or pointless, other just plain stupid. But there is also many good things, small details/changes/fixes that make me think someone in ArenaNet really care for the game.

And finally, lets be honest. Most complains are from kitten key farmers. If they leave the game I can assure no one is going to miss them.

Goatjugsoup.8637:

the leveling curve has apparently been made a lot easier for those lower levels, how much time would you really be spending below them now anyway?

After 3h38m I’m lvl 14. So yes, the change is beyond stupid but is not really game breaking.

Zaxares.5419:

Wait, what? Gathering is locked till level 9? Salvaging is locked till level 12? O.o

What the…??

At the very least, these restrictions should be lifted for veteran players. >.>

They aren’t really locked. If you have gathering tools or a normal salvage kit, you can gather/salvage right away.
There is no merchant with gathering tools or salvage kits in the starting zones so it’s more like a “fake” lock (aimed to really new players).

And that’s why the change to the CFSoM is just stupid.

Just chatting in map. Seems this is an intended change

I’ll just have to use my silver-fed-salvage-o-matic :/

Behellagh.1468:

You can’t salvage anything till level 12 anyways.

You’re kidding right?

Southern.8973:

Black Lion Salvage Kits have a lvl 15 restriction too.

o_O…

Maybe they screwed it again and now the CFSoM works as a BLSK (last time, it worked as a master salvage kit)?

I recall getting better things the last time I use it (after the patch), but my char was only lvl 42 so I only recycle crap. Still, I got 1 rare essence, better mats and a sigil.

However, since I delete it, now I can’t check :/

Buford.2954:

Wanze, I generally like your posts, but this is a legit bug so don’t be a jerk. Gem store items should have NO level requirement, and this one did not before the patch.

Sigh… He is right.

I overreacted, but I was so excited about this patch and so eager to make a new character (I even spent the last days trying to defending ArenaNet of all the hate toward this patch). So when I found this, it was a total let down.

Really? Level 15?

ARE YOU kittenING KIDDING ME?

If is a bug, fix it. If is a feature, revert it or give me back my gems.

It is a CONVENIENCE ITEM, I bought it to use it when I need it, not when you want.

NVM.

No opinions toward this…

Log-in on Queensdale: 20 or more tags.
Made a new human, and upon arrival to Queensdale: 5 or 6 tags only.

So yes, is just the hype, one dying quickly.

I just start a new character and I’m trying to buy runes and sigils, but everytime I try to type in the search box, the game crashes

As good or better than the first FP

tl;dr

But any change is welcome, at least, the new UI looks great

Kurrilino.2706:

They did it in GW1… maybe that is why i am so disappointed

That’s not my point.

Factions have an epic ending where your character is treated like a kittening hero.
In GW2 our characters is on the background playing the idle animation -_-

What I mean is ArenaNet don’t have the resources (or the willingness) to do something better.

Also, GW1 was made by a total different team and some say GW2 was made by another team no longer among us.

They can’t even write a few lines to distinguish players who killed Scarlet from those who didn’t (like new characters) and you want them to write an original story each time a new chapter is added to the game?

Is like the guy who wasted who know how much gold and time in the MF to get a precursor without results, then he said the same than you and as soon as he set foot on WvW, he got one right away.
