Mistlock Instability 51 – The Dredge Clowncar stalks you through the fractals.

Nononononono

That reminds me of something…

Mistock Instability 52 – Once you get to this level all foes will be permanently replaced by the allied drege Koptev, each time you kill a foe it will begin a spam of “No no no.”

Have fun in those boss events from now on ^^

Lonewolf Kai.3682:

An easy way to introduce the Mini-Arena: The Asura starter zone! There’s a mini game there were two golems face each other via a turn based type board. With a mini-arena, your mini pet gets loaded into the arena in place of the golems. They can put this arena on that south area in LA where looks like they were going to put some sort of mini arena at one point.

Actually I believe that the place has already been determined inside Rata Sum, however it’s inaccessible (possible future update but who knows when):

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Polymock_Arenas

Polymock in GW1 didn’t used minis…. but well I’m hoping it does in GW2 to give them some extra “value”.

Sensianna.3125:

Q2: Could we go back and forth between his story and mine?

You already have good answers for the questions, but there’s something I would like to point out on this one.

Let’s say that in the future you picked the Vigil as your order and your boyfriend picked the Priory. If both of you do a Priory story mission and successfully complete it you’ll earn a reward, however since you are not the one who “opened” the instance you’ll get a message confirming if you want to receive the reward and advance in the story.

DO NOT EVER accept this message unless you want to keep the same story as him, if you do your missions from now on will be changed to the Priory and you’ll pretty much lose your initial character story (since it’s not the same that you planned before), so be careful with that!!

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/archive/story/Completing-missions-with-a-friend-changed-me-from-Whispers-to-Vigil/first#post643448

I honestly don’t know if they have fixed it, but to be sure if both of you plan to be on different orders do not accept the message when completing a mission that is not from your chosen order.

Hope that’s understandable.

hmm got deleted but well at least you have it on quote, as of now everyone is aiming for achievements so many people will stay until they have them (although most are really easy with things like “evade this, evade that”).

I can stay on map 1 hour before reset and attempt to do the fight 2 times at most, if I get the chests for that day then “yaaaaay!” I can patiently wait until the next reset and get them again until the team manages to complete it.

Since when I get online is 2 hours before reset due to work nothing’s stopping me from staying on the map as much as I want until I get my chests for that day. When I leave someone will take my spot.

1 hour is fine since it takes some time to prepare the map, 30 minutes isn’t. At least for me don’t know what others think, waiting for Teq to spawn is extremely booooooring.

kyubi.3620:

if you didnt catch my joke i was just refering that an asura who likes to blow things up is practicaly a world of warcraft goblin :P

as for the new character….
…
…
…
What the hell anet! why can SHE actualy mount a golem and i cant! ive made my asura solely for the purpose of riding a golem let me ride my golem already as a new racial class like idk golemancer. Why not actualy add racial class to the game? Like

Asura – golemancer
Human – Dervish
Norn – Trophy Hunter
Charr – Howitzer
Sylvaris – Druid

Please add a new asura elite skill to ride a golem and watch the world burn Q_Q

>.> http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Summon_Power_Suit

If they ever re-do the Personal Story this would also make a great addition as to provide the characters some missions that “train” them in their professions, would give more sense to the idea of “rising from the bottom”.

Neilos Tyrhanos.5427:

ghost.3208:

That’s a demon from the Underworld, not a Margonite. Margonites are associated with Abaddon, demons/shades/aataxes are with Dhuum.

There’s been no connection made so far between Dhuum and shades & Aatxes. Dhuum commanded dryders, riders and skeletons in GW1, but not Aatxes, which were just referred to as “demonic guardians” of the Labyrinth.

Aight thought everything that was placed in there was with Dhuum, thanks https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/lore/lore/Dhuum-Mad-King-and-Underworld/first#post3075891

Also it seems that the Realm of Torment and Underworld are connected, there’s a lot more lore that I need to Google http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Bone_Pits

Oh don’t get me wrong I would also like the return of Abaddon (but specially that of the Margonites, those guys were amazing), but we can’t live in the past he’s already dead, it’s been years since he was defeated everyone (NPCs) pretty much doesn’t cares about him anymore (only place where you start hearing about him is in the Personal Story in Orr I think).

Yeah sorry she’s the Goddess of Truth, forgot to place her real title back there. In this interview Jeff Grub said the he would had like to revive Abaddon, but as we know everything is subject to change so one day we might see him back, but as of now he’s dead, dead dead dead http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGJvedNjZI0

Hmm I don’t think it would matter much if he had a plan for getting released now that he is dead, I’m afraid that even if Xavier is a kitten he can’t be applied in here xD Buuuut who knows, they might had placed some sort of cinematic showing Abaddon placing a part of himself somewhere, gaining power with time allowing him to revive.

Do you mean this mission? http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Gate_of_Pain (Emissary of Dhuum), I can’t see the 6 eyes on the demons.

sigh…

gogoapoxy.1425:

Its clearly the revival of Abbadon, God of secrets and once imprisoned in the realm of madness. Kormir didn’t destroy him, she simply became a vessel for him to escape. She was too blind to see this trickery. There’s a reason the Gods left, internal turmoil after Abbadon released Dhuum and helped Menzies take back the fissure.

Kormir gained Abaddon’s power, not his “soul” to say it in some way. She isn’t a vessel of Abaddon she’s the new God of secrets, just so everyone gets it straight ABADDON IS DEAD.

But props for the blind part, even if it wasn’t meant as a joke.

gogoapoxy.1425:

Why else would there be a potential fractal about him if not to show he was never destroyed?

The Abaddon fractal wasn’t about the moment we killed him, it was way before that when the Gods imprisoned him, so there’s no possible way that it would had shown us his revival.

gogoapoxy.1425:

I happened to notice for the first time that the creatures coming out of the portals in Queensdale happen to have 6 eyes (not the Aatxe which also happen to be allies of Abbadon iirc)

That’s a demon from the Underworld, not a Margonite. Margonites are associated with Abaddon, demons/shades/aataxes are with Dhuum.

^ Thank you random citizen, your efforts will be remembered.

Delvoire.8930:

What grabbed my attention was the drawing behind the Wooden X. Is that a stick figure Dragon?

wth which stick figure? Only thing I can see behind the X is a piece of paper, which as of now seems to be just some random lines, and that black chest to the left…

1. Mounts (lol): They have said since the beginning that there won’t be any mounts soon as it is something they don’t have planned to do https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/archive/suggestions/Why-no-mounts/page/3#post1673252
2. Precursor crafting: They are working on precursors and it will be a thing that’s delivered this year https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Is-precursor-crafting-going-to-happen-or-not/first#post2981770
3. Guild halls/housing: They’re aware of it but don’t think they’re actually working on it atm https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Player-Housing-3/first#post1695274

1. Crafting precursors: Read the second answer I gave.
2. Troll’s End fix: I don’t think they refuse to do something about it, it’s just something with low priority since still it’s perfectly do-able, if you’re having that much troubles whisper me in-game and I’ll be happy to portal you if it makes you that angry.
3. Pet stowing: Because it’s something that’s related uniquely to the ranger profession, pets do provide some extra damage https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/ranger/Robert-Hrouda-on-pets-in-dungeons/page/4#post1580223

Google is your friend.

Congrats, you can do anything that you like now, a few things:

1. Explore the map: Having at least all the waypoints unlocked is a real help to do some content, like world bosses for example, which leads to…
2. World bosses: You can now go without problems to the the ones in Orr and Southsun (when there’s a server on it of course, usually after Tequatl the group goes to the Karka Queen).
3. Advance your crafting professions: Gives some achievement points and you don’t have to rely on the TP for some things if you have the materials ;D (Don’t bother with creating the ascended gear unless you have decided about your build and won’t change it for some time, although by creating now the materials you’ll have an advantage when you finally decide).
4. Dungeons, dungeons and more dungeons: You can easily do most of the dungeons and can start advancing in fractals, if you learn to do speed runs you can earn gold quickly with dungeons
5. Pimp your ride character: Most of the people (myself included) aim to get some nice looking gear/weapons once the characters are 80, there’s some sites that let you preview how a gear set looks and you can search for it in-game to see for yourself (the PvP locker also has all the available gear). http://www.gw2armor.com/
6. Legendaries: The most time consuming thing you’ll ever aim for in this game, it requires a lot of mats and I think that the wiki can give a better explanation than me (Just take it easy with this one) :P http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Legendary_weapon

I believe those things will keep you busy for quite some time (and if it doesn’t TELL ME YOUR SECRETS), just don’t worry as others have said there’s no truly end-game in here, just play what you like and enjoy the game.

Quiznos.4296:

Does this allow party members to mine if they enter the instance with you to mine as well?

Hmm haven’t tested it but it is possible with the Candy Corn and Quartz, I suppose it should be the same with this ones. Will check later tonight but someone can probably confirm faster now :o

Zaoda.1653:

ghost.3208:

Wait… what?

Don’t hear them Michelle Philps, you will surely beat them on the Tyrian Olympics swimming competition… just you wait and see…

After using our speed boosters for the racing part we’ll just need to figure out what to do on the jumping competition… I can already feel the booster coming.

I think you mean Michael Phelps :-P Anyways it’s obvious he was on the roids – you can see it in their face when they go to the winning podium and they have that ‘I can’t believe I got away with it’ look… it’s the same look I saw in Lance Armstrong, and it’s the same look I see with a fellow kiwi I honestly believe cheated – Hayden Roulston. And I haven’t been wrong yet.

Either way, swim boosters are so useless that it’s laughable. And the ore nodes would be ‘convenient’ IF you could get all 20 gatherings in 1 go, and it doesn’t even do that. And just going to WvW Eternal Battlegrounds (or even your home borderland and heading to the north camp which has quite a few) and walking round a bit, you get your gatherings with absolute ease – I don’t know why people complain about it being so hard?

No it’s Michelle Philps (yeah swapped some words ), my human character with a stack of swim boosters which will make Bubbles cry about not being able to catch her, that will show all the nay-sayers in LA!!

And yeah the ore pack isn’t worth it, but I’m tempted to get it just to provide some extra value to my home instance… But still it’s way too expensive (the alternative would be to work an extra hour… but that’s a lot of gold in conversion :/).

Tauril.8504:

Wait… did they just casually announced new professions and new PvP game modes in a random interview, just like that ? o_o
Their stance about that used to be something along the lines of “no way” until just now (and on new professions I agreed that it would be a huge balancing mess).

wow.

They have never ever said that they wouldn’t do any of this things, they only said that for the time being (when asked) those won’t be coming, that’s why they pretty much had the possibility because you don’t know what will happen in the future.

Thank you Keenan, take your time Maclaine there’s no rush, knowing it’s being worked on is more than enough to know that it will be updated in the future.

Vol.7601:

This gem store item is just as irrelevant as Swim Boosters.

Wait… what?

Don’t hear them Michelle Philps, you will surely beat them on the Tyrian Olympics swimming competition… just you wait and see…

After using our speed boosters for the racing part we’ll just need to figure out what to do on the jumping competition… I can already feel the booster coming.

“Note that there is no ETA on when this change will happen. We need to work with the Character Art Team to determine when we can have a new armor skin ready, and this could take some time.”

Sauce: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news/Flamekissed-Armor-Skin/first#post3275229

Sorry buddy, but I’m afraid that it will take some time to get here, probably a couple of months? I’m sure they’ll make an announcement when the armor is coming back.

All my characters are females mostly because armor in every single MMO ALWAYS looks better on them (and no, I’m not referring to you know what). A lot of people say that it’s because of the anatomy and god knows what.

Males in MMO’s always look like a bunch of kittened meat shields, with 90% of the body being muscle. I want my male character to look like a gladiator not like a brute!

But then, everything changed when the fire nation phalanx armor skin went available, now that’s something I want more of to balance my male/female characters ;D

Yeah we do not need an expansion yet and hopefully they never do that, I’m sick of being locked out for years on updates just because it’s “an update so big that needs to be delivered separately, which can be completed in a month (at max)”.

Instead provide feedback about the Living Story (they have been improving with every patch and you can’t deny that) and hopefully it will become better before everyone gets bored (included me).

I’m not a fanboi of this game, I like it but I hate when people start demanding things without providing anything worthy.

At least the 50 slot stash of the guild would suffice, one thing to note is that if you ever happen to change servers the guild upgrades won’t be available on the new server, which means you will lose 15 gold if you happen to change your server.

Arnath.2319:

Check out this reddit thread, very clever man has basically figured this all out already and this new poem basically confirms his theory.

Scarlet is a Champion of Primordus

http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1un4tt/scarlet_as_a_champion_of_primordus/

Just wondering, how could Scarlet be a champion of Primordus? I mean there’s no visible corruption on her coming from that dragon (like the Icebrood and Risen), can Dragons “corrupt” others without turning them?

Because I think it was known that Primordus corruptes by encasing people in lava… I think this rules out the idea of her being a champion of him… Now Mordremoth might be a choice given that we know nothing about it (but still as we know nothing this too is ruled out for the moment).

(And well we know that by some miracle Sylvaries are immune to the current dragon’s corruption).

Google is your friend Trigger:

No sorry you can’t apply 10 +1 infusions, the infusion will keep getting replaced, what you have to do is this:

1. Send your +1 infusions to your artificer (if you have it on a different character), you only need to have it at level 100.
2. Buy a stack of Thermocatalytic Reagent (comes in packs of 10) to start.
3. Get to the artificing station and go to the “Discovery tab”, select the +1 infusion and the Reagent which will give you an option to discover the +2 infusion recipe.
4. Keep making as many +2 infusions as you can, repeat the third step for the new +2 infusions (will net you a +3 infusion) and so on.

What you can do is place a +10 infusion on the ring, however note that if you currently have a +5 infusion it will only get you to 65 AR.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Agony_Infusion

Yes you can apply an upgraded infusion, current maximum for an upgraded infusion is +30 AR (but it requires a lot of gold and infusions).

What you can do is get enough AR for each of the 3 pieces in order to get to 70, that would be either by acquiring two +8 AR and one +9 AR infusions, when applied to the rings and backpack your final AR should be 70.

You’re going to need 512 +1 infusions to get there… Better start farming those fractals, you can also outright buy them from the TP but be careful since they’re somewhat expensive, two +8 AR and one +9 AR goes for like 70 gold :/

Also I believe with the ascended armor you can easily get to that 70 AR, but as you know you’ll need a lot of materials and time to make it, both options take time if you want to make it the “cheap way” and both are really expensive if you try to get it faster.

Hope it helps.

intwoit.7629:

Possible choices for everyone participating

~ a character slot (this might generate more gem purchases… even if only 1/4 of the players bought something it would still make you extra cash)

~ gems awarded so players could purchase an item at the shop this might promote sales also

inb4 we’ll get swarmed with PvE player posts demanding some gem shop rewards too, just because “now a backpiece won’t cut it and I want the same rewards as people do in WvW” (if they do end up giving this things as a reward I’ll be one happy dolyak).

Soon we’ll get Legendaries in PvP just by winning a match, yay equality!!.

intwoit.7629:

~ a vendor where players could choose an kitten piece of gear /armour of their choice (some kind of token system)

~ a vendor where you could choose a specific look for your weapon or gear (again a token system)

Could be interesting but would depend on the looks (a new look or one of the existing ones?), also didn’t we got some gear with the reward chest? (got an exotic and an awful bunch of greens tho, not sure why they didn’t gave rares instead).

btw I thought leagues ended months ago, oh shoot don’t tell me I went back in time again >.>

tip from the future: we will receive a mini stonemist castle and a guaranteed back piece for the first server, better start bandwagonning!

Why is every roamer closing the client when they’re about to die?? Die with honor, I recently got vaporized with a lazorz cannon, I’m sure you wouldn’t mind my cow finisher on your face >.>

adamryason.9817:

2)Hurt the trading post
I used to make money each day on the trading post by crafting farmed materials, many others did as well. There was a consistent need for what I was crafting. Now, not only is the trading post completely saturated with exotics, but not as many people will need to buy exotics because they will have to level up crafting anyways. There isn’t much to craft and sell on the trading post for profit, and more people are going to these few routes to make money

Not really I’m actually making a ton of gold selling mats needed for ascended. Since I don’t care about the “+10% damage increase” there’s been a lot of profit for me in this deal (saved some stacks before they were introduced ^^). Only reason I’m aiming for 500 crafting is for the achievement points

edit: Hmm but to add my share to this thread, yeah I think the amount of materials needed for each thing is just overwhelming, maybe that’s part of the reason why I’m not trying to craft one? It’s extremely expensive to have multiple sets or even change a build, what would happen if my current build gets nerfed on the next patch?

ah fine, my bad

CountzuCrytus.7256:

Don’t play Engy or Mesmer.

wth rocket jump has a hilarious skill animation, you basically drop on top of your foes…

Combatter.5123:

I accepted ghost’s answer.

Yeah I was sad when he died and it’s confirmed that Tybalt died that day, sorry to burst your bubble, just let it out you will feel better…

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Lightbringer_Tybalt_Leftpaw

The way I would like to see his closure? With a revamped Arah Story mode:

At some time during the dungeon we have to face Undead Tybalt and Forgal (which both sacrificed in Claw Island), now that will make a good twist to the story and add some feelings to the battle. After that we can place an apple cyder next to him or whatever.

but but… I like going for shinies on my home instance…

Gilded Infusion gives you +20% more gold from anything that grants you gold on that kill (that’s looting gold).

With that being said, since now the gold that you acquire from champions only comes from boxes I don’t think it’s a really good investment. I would go with the +20% magic find but that’s just my personal opinion.

And yes I know MF doesn’t affects the contents of the boxes, but it does help with the loot from other sources instead of just relying on a +3 copper loot.

Frotee.2634:

Why is it so incredibly difficult to get decent quality/stat back pieces? I can craft exotic accessories, weapons and armor without too much trouble – why no back pieces and breathing masks?

I don’t think anyone would mind about breathing masks since the time we spend underwater is minimum, as far as it has an upgrade slot I’m fine. With the Taquito revamp they gave us a chance to get a rare piece for this, maybe on the following updates we’ll get an exotic one and more options?

FrostSpectre.4198:

Can someone make full exotic berserker? No, temples only offer specific sets, PS gives masterwork, WvW vendors only offer soldier/invader stats and guild stuff goes up to rare.

Do you even play the game? If you want full exotic you can easily acquire it from temples, dungeons and WvW (There’s another vendor in WvW that gives more stat combos for gear). In fact zerker is the easiest gear to get.

FrostSpectre.4198:

Want to have a normal looking back item, like a quiver with arrows or gsword sheath? Not possible, only flashy ascended or limited temple stats.

In this I agree in part, I would like some exotic back items with looks without having to resort to crafting it the “ascended way”. Nothing spectacular but anything better than an empty look.

FrostSpectre.4198:

This in turn makes ascended/legendary vs. exotic gap larger.
It’s also that ascended/legendary isn’t a requirement to play the whole game!

I would say working as intended? I’m still able to run any dungeon/fractal/WvW with exotic gear, I don’t need any of that ascended/legendary gear. Also ascended is supposed to take a longer time to craft/get than exotics.

FrostSpectre.4198:

Also in mind that devs promised that “elite” (ascended/legendary) gear won’t be better than standard high grade gear and it’ll be based on player skills. Like in GW1.
Tho this promise has been broken…

They never promised that, the only thing that they could had promised is the fact that you don’t need this type of gear to beat the game or to actually be efficient. I’m not a fanboy of the game but I hate it when people do posts baseless.

Yes please bring it back!!

I don’t mind having an announcement box that covers half of the screen, so long as the music and the dragon animation is still there, I miss that screen

At the moment I have like 45 gold, the most I’ve ever had was like… 530… I think? (somewhere around there didn’t kept track, stupid minis >.<).

What I do:

- Run paths CoF 1, AC 1-3, Arah 1-2, CoE and HotW (that’s 15g).
- Hop on the champ train for 2 runs only (Depends but let’s say a mininum of 1g, just for the heck of it).
- Gather some quick selling mats and play with the TP with anything I gained on the day.

• Bonus: If I have time I try to take my “Black Lion Key” character on a run, that’s doing the story steps to quickly gain a key, but I only do a key per day because it’s really boring :P

So in summary per day: 16g + any extra earninigs + 1 Black Lion Key.
Per week (5 days): 80g + any extra + 5 Black Lion Keys.
Per month (20 days): 320g + any extra + 20 Black Lion Keys.
Per year (260 days): 4160g + any extra + 260 Black Lion Keys.
Per… ok ok ok I’ll stop sheeesh

“Slow but steady”.

Yes dungeons reset at the same time dailies reset, if for example you successfully complete a CoF P1 before the reset you’ll get 60 tokens. If you do it again after the reset you’ll get another 60 tokens.

Well they’re probably on vacations now so don’t expect an update coming soon, hopefully there will be something on the following weeks. They got out a 2nd set of infinite tools before so maybe in the near future they’ll start releasing another set.

I would also like to see an update but I suppose we will have to wait for them to come back.

One thing that I would really like (like, not whinning them to do it) is that in some way they make it possible to obtain the required minis for Foostivoo the Merry, I’m missing a couple of those after crafting that Mini and would kill my collection I don’t care if it’s with RNG boxes or I have to wait 2 years but please Anet it’s a recurring event!!

Noah.4756:

It’s definitely not the best time for casual players to acquire ascended armor.

Fixed that for you, I don’t get it why everyone is in such a rush to get this things. Just wait until the kitten market stabilizes the price.

Yup, only way to obtain it is by salvaging any exotic piece with “Soldier’s” on it:

http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/48660

Cheapest item is 4.5g I think you’re better off buying the insignia itself, unless you are extremely luck and get one as a drop.

Hope this helps.

Interesting I don’t remember that map, this bears further investigation!!

LOL HoD shouldn’t you be enjoying this day instead of sending everyone to the battlefield? xD

Anyways, Merry Christmas to all!!

Oh well it was fun until it lasted, at least SF can now get their rightful place as the #1 thread locking server worldwide without ever worrying to lose it.

cephiroth.6182:

Todays daily contains something I find even more disturbing: Use the toxic offshot finisher 3 times. You can get that finisher for spores + some silver (5 uses) – or buy the unlimited version in the gemshop.
WTF?

Um… I fail to see the problem in here. Buying that limited Toxic Finisher isn’t even half a gold piece, I’m sure everyone can afford to spend 35 silver for the achievement.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQFAWlUgyCXFyIEfIFRuAbBYPwI8741jESRGC-jkBBofCZEDCZpmFRjtyqIasKbYqXER1SBwkyI-w

Nuff said, just trololololol your way to glory (a.k.a loot), you’ll thank me when your bags are full of precursors.

But on a more “serious” note I’m more of a front-liner type of player, reason why I don’t like to tag up very often since I can’t do suicide bombs

And just a warning, don’t take my word on this following build it’s more for messing up those groups of enemies xD If you really want to suicide go with my build, otherwise the most widely and safer use is what Maladon posted (which I sometimes run, I’m not a masochist )

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQNAsdRnQEFHaaImhwHqiIXg9BAWfIe4CuekwI2QA-jEyA4OioRCEIVYIaZvioxW4KiGr2GT5KIriTqUAMJMC-w

Hope that you find something that suits your play style.

Agree they should make Arah a harder dungeon, not because I’m an elitist jerk or something like that but it’s because it’s the final dungeon of the game.

Arah should be a test, and please revamp the Zhaitan fight I don’t even care if the reason is just “because we had to”, please do a revamp I’m sure no one will care about lore if it makes the fight better than just spamming 2 :/

NoxInfernus.2361:

I love back pieces. They are often the topper that makes my character’s theme work (jetpack, Rox’s Quiver, lightning catcher, etc).
Sure they put out a lot of them, and I have a small collection of ‘possible future use’ items, but I’ve also deleted or sold many.
Don’t like the back piece – Delete.

Do not, in fact save the ones that are sellable and themed. Got 3 Wind Catchers and they just keep going up on price, best long term profit

Chameleon Dude.1564:

‘On behalf of everyone here at ArenaNet, thank you all for an amazing 2013. Without your collaboration, feedback, dedication, and love for the world of Tyria, Guild Wars 2 simply wouldn’t be the success that it is today —nor could we reach the lofty goals we’ve set for the future.’

This was the bit which got to me and convinced me to make the thread. As much as I love this game, 2013 was not amazing. Our feedback is only selectively considered; although dedication and love have definitely kept people playing – as opposed to the Living Story. And, lastly and sadly, I can say that I’m genuinely worried about these ‘lofty goals’. More grind being added to a game that was supposed to focus on fun over grind? More Living Story since it was such a ‘success’?

This blog post can be seen by anyone, not only the ones who have already bought GW2, did you seriously expected that they would bash their own game saying things like “we dropped the ball multiple times” or that “for quite some time we had no communication with devs”?

To the other parts of your post, yes I do agree that they should step up a bit more. For me this “Season 1 LS” was more like a test, to me we were actually playing a beta of GW2.

That’s why I’m hoping, hoping they’ll actually read more feedback and learn from Season 1, God help they don’t do anything to the Dragons like they did with Scarlet.
