Guild Wars 2

Put it in your bank and take it out on another character. Same goes with anything else you want on another character.

PvE is pretty boring, especially if you don’t plan on doing any sort of pvp.

Well, I don’t really plan on doing any sort of PvP, and I find PvE really interesting. So I guess you’re wrong.

So I’m wrong because someone else has a different opinion? That makes sense.

You didn’t say “PvE is boring to me” or “for me” or “since I don’t plan”. You said it is boring, especially if you (meaning people other than yourself) don’t PvP.

Since I am someone other than you and don’t PvP, but don’t find PvE boring, your statement is false. Making you wrong.

Either way, I still think it’s boring.

Back to the top. (:

Rift had something like this with their Chronicles system. They needed to be a bit longer, in my opinion.

To be honest, I never played Guild Wars enough to give my voice on most things. But I know larger player cap dungeons are something I have been wanting. I want to do more things with my guild with more people. Meta events don’t cut it.

I don’t understand.

I would like to see this with Battlefield 3. O.o

Instead of raven (going outside the whole norn thing), they could put in something else that would give powerful defensive abilities (heals) for more of a support roll like the water attunement.

I have seen people talk about this a few times. In my opinion, I think the animations would get on my nerves. From the Norn starting area where you get turned into a leopard, the animations seemed weird to me.

To me, it’s boring because there doesn’t seem to be any challenging content. I have done all the dragon meta events and they all seem to be nothing but a zerg-fest. You can sit there and auto attack the whole time and maybe dodge a few red circles. From the bosses I have done it’s the same thing. Only mechanics bosses seem to have is a big health pool and they hit hard. In my opinion, that’s not all too challenging. Where are other mechanics that make encounters fun?

Don’t even say go to Orr. I have been there and there is hardly anyone there. Everyone sits in Cursed Shore farming those two events or they are in Lions Arch spamming map with LFG.

The game is great, don’t get me wrong. But in my opinion, it lacks in something and missing it’s stick.

Yup. I think the game needs this. (:

I agree with you. I don’t have all my gear and haven’t done every dungeons, but things I have done just aren’t challenging. Being mainly a PvE guy, I’m glad there isn’t any more tank/healer/dps. Having to rely on one person in a raid was pretty annoying. Now everyone has to pull their weight.

The problem with the content is that it isn’t challenging, obviously. Orr sounded great when the game was first coming out. As soon as I hit 80 I went there. Know what I found? More Risen than players. We did attempt to take a tower and failed five times because of the lack of players, but we finally did take it and there was a bit of challenge.

I feel the only thing to do in a encounter is run around reviving downed players and staying out of red circles. I don’t think I have come across a dungeon or event that actually gave me satisfaction from downing the boss like other mmos have, mainly because they lack the challenge. There aren’t much mechanics or phases with bosses. They have a big health pool, hit hard and occasionally throw down circles for you to dodge.

Hopefully something changes within the next few months…

PvE is pretty boring, especially if you don’t plan on doing any sort of pvp.

Nope, the same thing happens in random bars. I went in one where the Boar Champion spawns and there are beasts in there!

I did report these players but it was after I stopped recording. I assume they were botting…it’s pretty obvious.

I am a bit disappointed with the “endgame” myself. Being a PvE guy, it seems like there isn’t much to do. Orr fails the majority of the time and it seems like most players are just in Cursed Shore farming two events, spamming LFG in Lions Arch or waiting for dragons to spawn. People are doing dungeons and fractals, but most of them just seem…not so rewarding. I haven’t played all the dungeons myself but the ones I have done are pretty easy.

I’m tired of people skipping mobs and champions because they just aren’t needed. To fix this they could just simply make it were enemies won’t stop chasing you in dungeons. I’m just looking for more challenging and rewarding PvE content. Bosses just seem to have a big health pool and hit hard and the occasional dodging of the red circles. That’s their mechanics and it’s pretty sad actually.

Maybe I’m just going on about this too much. But it seems the game is lacking stick.

If you have your pet out when running through a zone, most the time he’s the one that gets hit and you’re not effected by it. Only time you get into combat is when you actually tell your pet to attack something, or you take damage yourself.

Pets just need a lot of work. Right now they are more of an annoyance than anything. The most annoying thing is when I stop my pet stops 30ft in front of me and pulls something.

I still don’t see why people wants mounts.

I would like to see something done with legendary weapons. I don’t want to really spend all the time and money for a unicorn weapon either. I also want bigger player cap dungeons that are actually a challenge. I’m tired of all this skipping and tunnel vision bosses in this game.

I don’t know, I’m not getting my hopes up too much. I am excited to see what they are going to do though.

All they have posted about those updates is that they aren’t putting any new zones or professions in, but are going to work on the current zones and core game. They also said we should be hearing their plans in a few weeks.

I leveled a Guardian to 80 and they are pretty fun, reminds me of a paladin if you do melee. They are kind of weak at range though. You can be melee and ranged as a ranger and be pretty good. I haven’t played Necromancer enough to tell you much about them.

I have looked at Ranger a bit too…but I don’t like having a pet.

Then again…I don’t like the necromancer being “squishy” because of it’s armor…and I don’t like that the guardian doesn’t have range…so there’s at least one thing I don’t like about each.

Would the ranger be better than both? I’m not incredibly fond of having a pet, but if it means I can be effective in both melee range and long range, sign me up!

I suppose that would add the Engineer and the Thief into the field as well.

I just want someone who has high survivability (in solo PvE can handle a lot) but can be viable in melee and long range in PvP. Guardian…Necro…Engineer…Ranger…Thief.

Don’t say Ele, Mesmer, or Warrior because I don’t want to be any of those..

I wouldn’t say any profession is better than one another since this game is based more around player skill. Most professions start off worse than others, like the elementalist, but at level 80 with the right build it’s unstoppable.

Back on topic with the ranger: The ranger is know for ranged (obviously…), but can do some good damage at melee range, too. I’m level 77 with mine right now and have been messing around with the sword. Only problem with the sword is that is has short cast times, so when you’re attacking it’s hard to move. If you run into a problem though, Hornet Sting can get you a fair distance from the enemy, then you can use the ability again to activate Monarch’s Leap to get you back into battle. If you choose ranger and run with a one-hand, my advice is to run with a torch. Most people recommend the war horn, but I don’t since I have Signet of the Hunt (10% run increase).

Greatsword is another option for melee. I haven’t used greatsword much, so I can’t say how good it is. Here is the ranger weapon list if you haven’t seen them yet. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/List_of_ranger_skills

The ranger is a nice class. But don’t start the profession and not expect any challenges. That goes for any profession.

I think it would be nice to see ANet’s take on raids, or ‘larger player cap dungeons’, for those who don’t want to hear raid.

Citadel of Flame.

When I hit 80 I wasn’t full exotic, so I don’t think it’s needed. You should provide a bit more information, though. What profession are you, what’s your health at and what dungeon are you trying to do.

I believe most people farm CoF path…two? But I hear that’s the best place to farm. I have yet to actually get into the dungeon farming myself.

mapokl.3167:

@domxnik You don’t have to. If you read a few starting posts you would know that if you move your cursor over area name in world map, you can see your map completion with numbers of vista, hearts etc.

Oh yeah, I forgot…and I didn’t read all the posts. v.v

I still don’t see meta events, Orr or even a new zone like Orr being harder since everyone and anyone can just walk in and do them. I’m asking for harder and larger content for groups, like dungeons but bigger.

I have only leveled one character to 80, but I hardly began to gear him up how I wanted before I started my ranger and decided to make it my main. I know what kind of build I want, but don’t know what exactly I’m looking for or where to start.

I plan on doing dungeons more than anything. I’m looking for a build that focuses on survival so I’m not getting one shot, but also want a good amount of damage. Also, I would like a decent amount of condition damage if possible so my bleeds are actually doing some good damage.

I’m seven, close to six levels away from hitting 80, so I would like to have a plan for what I’m doing when I hit 80. Any help is appreciated.

This is when I wish there was a zone completion/progress thing next or under zone names on the map, so you don’t have to go to every zone trying to find the one you didn’t do. That’s what I would suggest anyway.

As I ranger I usually do to line up multiple enemies for Poison Volley and sometimes traps. To get away from enemies, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Backpedaling is the lowest on the movement speed chart.

Out of all these things, I say I have to agree with 4: ‘Legendary items need to be revisited, and made worthy of their name.’ It is pretty bad legendary items have nothing standing behind them. In World of Warcraft (I know "Oh great, here we go) you had to do raids and get things for the legendary in order to make it. Obviously that was pretty much a grind, but at least they had quests and lore behind them, and we’re so easy to make.

Would have been nice to see better looking legendary weapons, less grind, and more on how they actually got their name.

Then go play Guild Wars.

I think there should be some sort of return option, obviously on a timer. My Razer mouse has been double clicking recently and I bought two items. Luckily I was only level 60 something at the time, but spending a extra 1k kind of sucked.

This is what I want after beating a boss.

EliteZ.1682:

But we would like some rewards that stand out to say “Hey look we finally managed to finish that raid and look at this new sexy weapon skin i got from it”

This, this and this!

This is a list of what I would like to see in the game. We all have things we would like to see in the game, some different from others. I’m not saying the game needs any of it. If you agree that’s nice, if you disagree, just don’t be a huge jerk about it. It’s not like any of these things are official. I’m just throwing ideas out there.

Now aside from the obvious things this game needs- like bug and class fixes- these are things I would just like to see, so I won’t be posting a whole list of bugs. Also, I’m not expecting these things in the up coming few months when this “expansions worth of content” is suppose to be releasing. This is what I would like to see happen in 2013.

Guild Achievements! In my opinion, the game and guilds would benefit from this. It will bring guild members together and actually go out and do events, dungeons or exploration as a guild, and not just sit in the roster being a “part of the guild”.

Guild Hall…possibly? This would be nice to have just for another thing for guild members to get together. Obviously make it an instanced area for members of the guild only. Have trophies for certain guild achievements earned. I can’t think of too much uses for it, but it just sound like something cool to have for guild meetings or something.

Larger play cap dungeons(raids?) Okay, before anyone freaks out. I posted a discussion on this already . If you want to check it out click here. It goes into it a with a video and what other people think. Why I want to see this? The one reason: Larger, active community guilds have nothing to do other than WvW. The guild I’m in now has dungeon nights that have three to four groups going, which is cool and all because they are actually doing something together…sort of. This doesn’t have to add a gear treadmill to the game. Just give me weapon and armor skins, and the satisfaction of downing a boss for once. I’m just simply asking for dungeons with increased player cap, more challenging bosses (mechanics/phases. Not just big health pool and hits hard), longer instance that actually gives the player excitement when they down a boss.

Ranger pet Improvements I don’t think I have to say much on this topic. Most of us agree that they are pretty horrible when it comes to doing dungeons with them and the damage from aoe they take, I get that and agree. But there are some other things that I would like that others might not agree with.

Now when I think of a pet I look at it as a reliable companion that fights along side you in battle, and not some annoyance following you around like they seem to be now. I don’t like the idea you have to put a lot of points in BM to make your pet somewhat better. Pets, in my opinion, should have their own smaller trait system, allowing the player to choose what they want. Each family should have different abilities (like they do now), but the players are able to pick those out, too. Right now there is not much customization when it comes to pets and what they do. If you want a tanky pet, you pick a bear; DPS you pick a cat, so on and so on.

Another thing is the pets tracking. The pet needs to follow you a bit…more. Sometimes when I stop my pet stops 30ft in front of me, usually pulling an enemy.

More UI Customization Give the player the ability to delete or manage/move elements of the UI around. Want the enemy health bar down near your abilities? So be it! I know in other mmos I would have the enemies health bar and mine close and towards the middle, but down near my bars. Guild Wars 2 does have a nice UI layout, but I would just like to see some more customization for those who want the ability to.

This list is probably far from being completed, but these are just some things I can think of off the top of my head. If you guys have any ideas or feedback I would like to hear them, but keep it clean.

I’m a ranger, so when something comes after me I’m going to start kiting/strafing so I’m not getting hit as much. Sometimes I will randomly lose my target (untarget) and am not able to use TAB to select them again because they are behind me. I know in WoW they had a 180 so you could do some serious kiting, but I don’t see that happening in Guild Wars 2 for balance reasons.

Yeah, I agree with the legendary weapon skins. I have a ranger and the short bow is just ridiculous. I’m a guy.

If they ever do bring in more dungeons or hopefully raids, they better add better looking skins. I want to look awesome.

Let’s get this straight, people. Everyone who doesn’t want raids are obviously scared because of how other games have done them. You all have seen Guild Wars 2, and we know how differently they do things.

Why are we asking for raids or dungeons that allow more people? Because guild that have a active community have nothing to do together, especially if they are a PvE endgame guild. The guild has to split up and do easy dungeons in groups of five. Sure, meta events need a revamp, but I don’t see them becoming harder since everyone is allowed.

We need raids for guilds on the PvE endgame side, that are looking for a large group challenge other than those events. There doesn’t have the be better gear, just skins, like dungeons. They could revamp dungeons and make them harder, but that still doesn’t bring more guild members together like raiding does.

I love that set. Does look like it needs to be darker, too.

So you’re asking for a armor type filter, like to filter heavy, medium or light? That’s what I want. (:

I have only been playing for a few weeks now. Between my 80 and my 67 I only have around 100k.

Conner.4702:

Erm no, what MMO’s in general need is less people stuffed away in instances. Anet designed a beautifully alive world, which is severely under utilized. Tweak the Big bosses to be more of a challenge and it will already be a lot better. FotM already did a crapload of damage to the world population and raids would only make that worse.

You want people out in the world for the sake of the whole community. A deserted world will only create a dead game in the end.

So no, raids are a very bad idea.

Know what? ArenaNet also makes beautiful instanced places, too. People level to get the endgame, and we need a better endgame to keep people around, or that’s what is going to kill this game. That’s why most people left, because there is no stick to this game when you reach the “end”.

I haven’t played a game that has player housing so I can’t relate to that much. I do know that we need some sort of guild housing though, but only if they add more things like guild achievement and you can obtain rewards from those, which go in the guild house.

I don’t know, I think it would be nice.

Pffttt. Dat karma

I can see this being nerfed in the future. /:

Thanks for the video though. (:

Lol, nicely said, Travail.

It is sad that people see ‘raid’ and instantly think gear treadmill. It doesn’t have the be like that.

Look at raids this way, people. Take a explorable dungeon, make it bigger, allow more players(10, maybe 25?) and give it more challenging bosses that actually have mechanics and phases. Ta-da, you have a Guild Wars 2 raid.

Something more kitten than a unicorn bow shooting rainbows, that’s for sure.

Well obviously the one who is dying nonstop or not attacking would be the one not pulling their weight.

Valento.9852:

People are trying to voice their opinion to make this MMO into every other MMO around, please stop this. No trinity, no add-ons, no aggro meters, they are not needed.

This.

Dps meters would bring in some stupid competition between players, like it does in other mmos. Right now you’re good if you can keep yourself and other player alive during a fight.

I wouldn’t recommend buying exotic gear, if that’s what the guide is talking about. Once I hit 80 I had enough karma for a piece of temple gear. I got that, but I still had some outdated gear along with pretty bad weapons. I got a group from my guild and we ran all three paths of AC explorable- all three paths. You don’t HAVE to buy gear, just do dungeons for it. I would suggest getting a weapon first since that would probably be your biggest upgrade.

You will acquire more gold as you progress though the game, but most the time it doesn’t come easy. Most people grind a certain path in a dungeon or just go out and farm all day. I have around 15g and the only armor and weapons I bought were really outdated ones (10-15 levels).
