Guild Wars 2

Ok i refuse to go past level 10 because its not fare to my party members when they have rings and i dont……they shouldnt have to carry me……..and ya know i dont care about going 0/7 on rings……but holy crap once per day!!!????, i understand i can do it again on level 12……but once again i shouldnt have to burden my party members because of anet’s bad designs……

Humans have the call worm ability also, as i have it unlocked on mine.

While I personally accept low lvl people in my runs, leveling to 80 in this game is super easy. If you can’t be bothered to do even that, expect really a lot of people to kick you.

hm, i do all the events and hearts i see, crafting as much as i can, exploring, and all that, yet somehow leveling still doesnt seem so ’’easy’’. and of course i have a life too, cant just grind for levels 24/7 like some people do.

(and it might also affect that i have 2 rerolls already)

Then you have your prioritys wrong, get to 80 above all else, i dont let 80’s into my groups for that reason, they dont have enough money, and when they die alot, ive noticed some of them un equip there gear also, so i just boot them, then pick another up from my fractile guild.

Who thinks it will be another lost shores? you know…… not being able to see the 60 enemys on top of you untill your dead……. all the disconnects…..ect. Ect., i ask this because the same thing happened in beta, and obviously anet still hasnt tried to solve the problem.

nachtnebel.9168:

I strongly disagree. People are free to do whatever they want, if my group is bad I should not be forced to stay with them just to avoid punishment.

this also, if you want a guarntee’d long run, look for a guild dedicated to fractals, im in one on anvil rock, but it is completely full, kinda our homemade dungeon finder, we have all kinds of people from other servers on there also

After 3 consecutive runs you will level up, for even numbers it is 4 because of the bonus boss, if you return to the lobby before the 3rd or 4th run, it will reset the count.

Yes, and i agree, it needs to be cross server.

Unlike the other fractals, swamp is heavily profession dependent. A group with a bunch of mobility (thieves, mesmers) has a much easier time with this than a group of slower professions. In a 3-thief group that can just shadowstep their way home, I’ll take swamp any day.

How? lol my warrior just zooms right past all the traps, signet of rage for mobility with the whisp, and 2 condition removal signets, and your fast and unstoppable. any class with a speed boost and atleast 1 condition removal, can do the swamp with ease, but it also depends on the users ability to actually spot the traps.

returning resets it.

I have plenty of survivability, and im glass cannon.

If it is for dungeons or events, it wont be worth it, because of a small 25 bleed cap that the rest of the group combines will reach before you can.

roostapro.9827:

there is around 6-7 Dynamic Events:

- Collect eggs
- Collect Golem Parts
- Retaking the camp
- Kill the Reef Shark (Chest spawns on the ships deck after shark is dead)
- Kill the Broodmother (Chest spawns near the cave entrance where you would go to collect the juvenile Reef Drake)
- Collect Consortium Items

and probably a few more but i can’t think of them atm

if it was that small chest, thats allways there for the reef shark

TabMorte.5297:

Yeah this doesn’t work because if you go into the wrong over flow it doesn’t work, also if you don’t participate in the event you don’t get credit either.

The only thing you could do this with is rich ore veins or something but that’s both boring and wouldn’t yield enough reward to offset anything.

Wrong all you had to do is participate in the final fight, in the cave, and bingo!, you get credit.

Anet should have learned from the last event, and from beta, but they dont, so don’t expect the christmas events to go any better.

Anishor.6921:

Human beings are not donkeys. Please stop treating us like we are. The vertical progression and gear treadmill games are trying to turn humans into donkeys. The endless pursuit of ‘more powerful gear’ is the same as having the stick in front of the donkey on the trail trying to get him to plod along for as long as he’ll last. In those games you never get through end game because next expansion, or content release there’s always newer gear. It’s exploitative of some humans addictive nature. Like doing cocaine for the first time, always chasing that high.

MMOs were once about experiencing and playing a in virtual world. Games like SWG, GW1 and UO weren’t about the illusion that is ‘end game progression’. Guild Wars 2’s vision and Manifesto harkened to a return to those worlds. To gamers going to all areas of the beautiful game worlds that the devs have created and playing in them. GW2 in my opinion achieved that with the game they launched with. It was beautiful, it was a living breathing virtual world, were players actually helped each other. Exotic gear was moderately easy to obtain and could be obtain from at least four different ways of playing the game. After getting the spec and exotic gear you liked you simply could go about playing the game as you enjoyed, ie living in the virtual world of Tyria.

However recent changes have indicated a move toward treating us, your current and active customer base, like donkeys. Not just with the shift from the developers in terms of vertical progression with the plan changed to Legendary gear and the introduction of ascended gear. But the lack of communication to the player base.

Please treat us like human beings again. Communicate your long term plans with us for vertical versus horizontal progression in PVE and WvW. If you cannot remove ascended gear’s improved stats, restore the horizontal progression in some way and do it soon. There are a number of ways I know your talented design strike-teams can tackle the problem. Such as using the mystic forge to upgrade exotic gear to ascended gear to empower the item.

If you want an “end”, then mmo’s aren’t for you.

nope easiest way honestly, is just save some money from a few paychecks, and tada! you have twilight.

Kaz.5430:

A new group called the consortium showed up, and changed Tyria forever. We now have all new holiday destination (southsun cove) and a new asura gate to random locations for adventure (fractals)

Big whoop lol, if it was just a new cool dungeon and a small itty bitty zone………why advertise it like it was gonna blow our minds? LOL that doesn’t even qualify to change tyria forever lol

Daegalus.8216:

The change is the fact that we now have a whole new zone.

people really need to stop saying this lol, the zone has been there the whole time, they led us to believe that tyria was gonna be changed, something HUGE……..southsun cove isnt huge…….it is a gimmick, that failed horribly.

Just because its a monday morning, doesnt mean the servers should be literally ghost towns, theres no excuse.

You can’t be serious.

Hope you didn’t shoot your foot on that statement (LOL). Anyways, @karma, it is because the game is catered towards a population that would more than not…have school and work during these hours that it’s more or less…not as populated. It’s not an excuse but maybe some people who are taking paid days off or a year off from school are on a different server? Who knows.

That is sad lol, lol a server SHOULD be populated 24 hours a day, if its not supposed to why not shut the server down at 10 o clock at night? ^^, this is such a shame.

Now I think you’re just trolling.

no im not trolling, that was just a sarcasm, what im saying is, a server should have plenty of people on 24 hours a day, so that certain night when you just can’t sleep at night? there will allways be party’s in dungeons waiting for you.

Hm…I think what you want isn’t people on, but I guess a group that you can party with for dungeons aka more sole-able content? Heroes (npcs that you can party with from what I heard about in gw1), would be a nice addition imo. But if you just want people running around…Idk man, that’s kinda hard to ask for given that Anet has not control over that lol

No i just want to beable to run the new FotM dungeon, and when i am throwing shouts out saying “LFG FotM level anything” and map chat is completetly dead, and no answers……thats saying something, shouldnt matter if it is a monday morning lol.

ProphetSword.5427:

karma.8763:

This i could understand…….BUT it is like this the last month or 2.

Then you should change servers. I’m not having these issues at all.

What server you on? because i would gladly leave anvil rock, that server is the armpit of GW2.

ProphetSword.5427:

There is also the issue that this is Thanksgiving week and some people are already gearing up for travel. The local college is having their last day of classes and having everyone leave the campus by tomorrow night. That makes for some very busy people who might otherwise be playing.

This i could understand…….BUT it is like this the last month or 2.

So your saying, the population is that small? lol

Just because its a monday morning, doesnt mean the servers should be literally ghost towns, theres no excuse. Been in plenty of mmo’s where monday mornings there were PLENTY of people on.

This lol, no more overflow server, atm on anvil rock, there is barely enough people to defeat the shatterer, let alone find a group for level 8 FotM, i even tried shouting for a level 1……..not enough to make a full party……..

Konfuzfanten.6503:

For everyone that cant get groups:

1) Join a guild
2) Make a guild group
3) Go to LA
4) Enter FotM
5) Profit

Note: if you cant get a guild group, you need to join a better guild. Its called Guild Wars for a reason and you can even join multiple guilds.

Agree’d, but people are having a hard time understanding this lol, i now have a guild just dedicated to FotM’s, it is nice to have poeple to run with of all level ranges, at all hours of the day.

Dev’s also said tyria would be changed forever……..i dont see anything along the lines of changed, devs said 1 time event……..so that means a 1 time event for each character. this was known since beta, /thread.

Dailies? You mean the bonus jade sea dungeon?

Yes. The first time you kill Jade Maw each day, you get a bonus. The quality of this bonus scales with your difficulty tier. 1-10 gives tokens/money, 11-20 gives tokens and has a chance of giving ascended rings. 21-30 can give ascended rings with agony resist on them. I’m not sure on anything past that.

your a little wrong, considering i got a ring in a level 10, with offensive slot.

“i dont do guilds”…. theres your problem….with a guild you would have plenty of poeple to run with, sounds like its your own fault.

Buy from trading post with gems, thats the only way.

Then don’t do it. your not forced

Yes i know, very misleading……….

when will we see this? i havent seen anything that will change tyria forever yet

i really want on that server :P

Signed………………….

Southsun cove? or lions arch? come on anet alittle clarification would be nice.

I hope not TC, i want my new weapons and armor. Finally have a reason to bring all my 80’s out of retirement.

come on nobody knows?, i know you can buy the back piece in the lobby to the new dungeon……but what about the rings and earrings?

bumpity bump bump bumpo

Where is it and how do i aquire it? ive only found the back peice in the lobby of mists.

There not, i got an exotic warhorn from a regular enemy in the char fractile, and i sold it.

RamzaBehoulve.5640:

If you speak to the Mystic Forge, he will tell you.

I talked to the mystic forge and all that came up is the window to put 4 items into it…. so that dont work

The only info i have seen is…..giving a bunch of crap to mystic forge……..ok and search the western beach for crap…..im doing that, but now i have no idea what on earth to do?

I agree it needs to go, i dont want to craft to make money, i like to “FARM” to make money, and i shouldnt be punished trying to earn legit money, to buy things i would like to have. This “antigrind” mechanic forces people to buy gold.

Dont know how hard it is to tag mobs with warrior lol, grab greatsword, get into position unleash hundred blades…….profit, use other skills to grab runners.

There is a mod out, and tons of players use it, kinda makes the game play like tera, and anet did not say it was not allowed.

Derk.3189:

You also have a definite chance of wasting a lot of hard earned money to get Nothing At All. Some of the crafting mats can also be gotten in the game world.

I agree with OP.

Who said it was hard earned? and since when is anybody forcing you to buy those chests?

it is nice to see more then blue and green now 5 rares this run alone

There is alot of people trying to download, have some patience :P
