Yay, required to play on a schedule is coming to GW2. This game just keeps on becoming like every other MMO out there…. In a year they might aswell rename the game to World of Guild Wars.

If they want more money the have to have more ppl playing so yes, they need features from other games

They must be careful not to lost the existing players in the process. Many are playing GW2 because it’s not just another “WoW clone”.

True but Raids are not WoW Invention, there was raids before the WoW, besides WoW have good some good features and some bad, so they only need to get the good ones and make it work on gw2

I hope that they make the raids hard, and with good rewards, and no RNG box Kitten

The safe money is that there will be a chest, and random stuff from the chest, with the dungeon unique items being on the lower end of the drop rate.

…Thats the way loot in loot games work. It is really amazing though how those BLTP chests have made everyone jump on the RNG hate wagon. Despite the fact it has always been and will always be a core game mechanic.

Borderlands, Torchlight, The Witcher, Diablo, Every MMO Ever, Destiny, The Division…on and on and on. The game you came from probably had RNG loot, the game you will move on to eventually will have RNG loot, the game you are playing on the side probably has RNG loot. Overcome an obstacle, kill a boss, interact with something shiny and hope you get something cool.

From some of your comments, it as if you think Anet invented this mechanic and it offends all of your delicate sensibilities.

I know that Anet didnt create the RNG or the RNG boxes, but this is the first B2p game that i am playing and i have to say that i dont like the RNG in the cash shop.

Now RNG in-game, that happend in every games its true, but in others MMO when i kill a boss i get a “Exotic or a rare” even if is not the one that i want, here i get a Green and a blue and sometimes a rare and once a year a exotic.

What im trying to say is that even if the loot is not what you want (item x Rare/Exotic) because is RNG you still get (item z ) that are the same Quality item(Rare/exotic), this in others MMo(the MMO that i played) but in gw2 if you kill a boss in a dungeon or in fractals you can get a exotic but you normaly get blues and greens and even whites, and thats a poor Reward system.

I understand that with the Gold to gem feature you have to “control” or “Restrict” the good loot but cmon, gives something good not only Blues and greens.

This new instance have a better reward system, you get a bag of coins with 1g and a 100% chance of getting a rare i think and still the rest of the loot from the chests, that great.

However for that reward system work they need to Nerf Cof gold per run, or Revamp Cof to take more time otherwise ppl will do cof because it gives more money per Hour.

I hope that they make the raids hard, and with good rewards, and no RNG box Kitten

This dungeon only need two things.

-The red circles in the last boss be more noticeable.
- the Dungeon has to be permanent content.

Not in WvW, it’s not. The entire puzzle is BUILT to make people fight eachother in it. It has lots of traps to activate, and chokepoints players can use to screw with people.

It is grieving the moment you kill people who want to get everything they can. For example there are people who make their hobby getting every achievement. I also want most of the achievements. They wanted to make it difficult. Well they did, they made it so hard the fun is gone. People who just want to finish their achievement are left out.

This is grieving. Even if you are in WvWvW. There is a difference when there is a certain achievement to be earned at some point and they make it so that you MUST join WvWvW to get it. Even if you don’t like it.

So what i need to ask "hey m8 can i kill you or are you doing achivments? " Really its a PvP map, if you dont like pvp dont do it, if anet makes a achivment there well its their fault.

uau you actually compare the “world Bosses” in gw2 with raiding, why didnt you talk about the awesome feature that gw2 have “culling” in PvE that makes the “raiding” an awesome experience?

I hope some of the money goes to Wildstar, i want to play that awesome game

do like i did when i bought gems, i live in europe and i pay in dollars so instead of 10euros i spend -+7euros

im waiting for Wildstar so i log in and i do my daily to buy nothing, and i go play other games, when a new patch is launh i clear the content in a day(more time if the content is looked, like the last ones), thats why i play gw2 right now.

actually in other MMO with sub, you have more char slots(11 on WoW i think) you have a bigger Bank(hell alot bigger) , you can Transmutate on a NPC for Gold, you dont have “charges” on the gathering tools, you do have in-game items that are instant merchants and even reforge for gear.

But the gem store have good stuff to, the hair and char total kit makeover is nice and the name changer.

Now what i dont like is RNG stuff when you pay with REAL MONEY, and i dont like to see stuff(gear, pets etc) that could be earn in-game instead of the gem store, but well its b2p they have to make money you say, its true, and this is my first B2p game and i prefer to pay 12euros a month and know that i can earn everything in-game instead of spending real money or the gold to gems stupid feature.

lets not forget the Fractals Nerf, and dont even try the RNG excuse

Is this the nerf in fractals all over again!?

Grounder.7381:

deal with it!
1. it protects the leader from getting kicked
2. changing it look like a HUGE work load for the programer..
3. call in guildies. if you pug, its a dungeon at your own risk

He dont have to deal with it no one have to, this is a problem with the game, only one that need to deal with it is Anet this is a “bug” that is in-game since the first Beta(aKa a year AGO).

So please Anet instead of giving us Updates with distractions bring real improvement to the game

Jzl.8715:

“Warrior Tank”, there is your issue.

Yep theres the issue theres no trinity everyone is dps how fun is that

Torres.2890:

Welcome to Rng wars.

So true

Welcome to RNG Wars where the more you pay(€) the less you get

:D

Its like Kripparian said the difference between Neverwinter and Guild Wars 2 is that Neverwinter had the courage to say that the game was in Open Beta.

Anet is the new EA omg.

Expand the results to include:

1. Search
2. If armor/account – opt in/out button
3. Guild ranks
4. More detailed WvWvW options
4a. top 25 by class
4b. Dolyak kills
4c. Siege depoyed, supplies used
4d. Number of deaths vs. kills vs. duration of play (hours)
4e. Duration of life before getting killed (hours) to percent (same with above)
4f. Biggest hit, weakest hit
5. Jump puzzle attempts (first try, second, etc)
5a. Jump puzzle time – top 25 speeds

I mean, the list goes on and on and on. If you are going to collect the stats then let us at least make them usable and compare to other players for bragging rights, etc. I mean, I would laugh (as would others) if they knew it took me 3 hours to get through a certain jump puzzle or died 100 times trying. Heck, they might even feel sorry for me and help…

Note on jump puzzles – note if they took a portal or not so we don’t cheat…

Good suggestion on the jumping puzzles .

Also Leaderboards for Guilds, right now you dont need to be in a guild, so some Competition for guilds would be awesome, maybe a leaderboards with the Time that guild take to do Guild missions, cmon anet we need challenge in the game.

If you have suggestions use this post plz(or make one)

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Suggestions-for-Leaderboards/first#post1792569

As the topic says suggestions for leaderboards, ill start with some.

-More than 100 results

-Possibility to select leaderboards per server (ex.: select Achivements and the server that you want see the results).

-A search Feature(this most be able after the +100results)

- Profile of the Account / Player ( World of warcraft is the only exemple that i know with the Armory Feature, and since theres no Inspect in-game this would be great to filter player for instances)

- Possible app for Mobile phones (ios/android/windows Phone) to see leaderboards and maybe other stuff (Trading post)

- I dont know how anet update the data but would be nice if we(players) could update(we login in the website and we push the update button)

- a much better PvE Leaderboard with instance timers(ofc this only works if Anet implement some kind of Timer mode on the instances, because Achivments cmon no one cares about that.

Got it!! when I got the candle it was at the store in zone 3… just came with an alt and got the candle on the store at zone 2 (free) and the achievement popped!

Thank you so much! This solution works.

Yeh that work thank you so much

LordByron.8369:

is the difference for fotm 40-48 noticeable with 45 AR or is it useless?

I dont do Fractals since March but i dont think so

VidGhost.3215:

lekyii.9856:

you can try to ress a party member till 99% before the agony phase and then when you get agony you can ress him.

This is how we do every single run 40+
and you do it again once you kill the last jade Crystal.

ye, i was doing that with 35ar at lvl 48

you can try to ress a party member till 99% before the agony phase and then when you get agony you can ress him.

Im having the same problem, have all the items and still 6/7 can some Dev see if its a bug plz

“We’ve made vast improvements in World vs. World with the elimination of culling, a process that used to make some enemy players invisible in large groups. Beginning March 26, you’ll be able to see way more players on-screen in WvW, even in the largest pitched battles! "

they didnt use the word completely, so maybe we will have culling after march patch??
And they say that we will be able to see more player not all the player…

Culling has been moved to the client side with options, so if you don’t set your options correctly you’ll still have problems.

so if, my pc is good i have no culling?

They also did not say they will not cut off the game on the 27 so they may very well with your logic.
This is good news try to be happy for once and stop looking at the negative only.

Sorry m8 but since the talk of january and fev patch will bring content worth of a expansion, i dont believe in any news until is really live and tested by the players.

Do not forget

If you like to have challenge in pve, this game is not for you

I see so your fractal 40+ what about 30+? Because if your not then you know nothing about what challenges are.

Right now im fractal 41 and yes is not hard, it takes time but is always the same from lvl 3 or 4 but with more mobs theres no new abilitys from bosses all the same.

Jjust because it takes longer, does not mean it is harder

It kind of dose because it take more work to do. There more chase that you will mess up. If your as far as you say you are then you know at 40+ you must play a realty well with a team or you will not be able to beat the maw.

I actually think that maw is one of the easy ones, fractals 40+ is only a problem if you encounter the lava dungeon the rest is not that hard.

DONT even try compare raiding with Group Events, theres no tactics no skill in group events its only zerg fest everywhere, not in a 1000 years you can compare raiding with group events.

Oh I dunno, it pretty much matches up the times I’d been party to Plane of Time raids.

i dunno what raids have you done, but staying in the same place for 5m and just tapping 1 is not raiding m8.

*If you like gear progression… this game isn’t for you
*If you like playing a certain role in trinity… this game isn’t for you
*If you like raids… this game isn’t for you
*If you like mounts… this game isn’t for you
*If you like amateur pvp with different modes… this game isn’t for you
*If you like semi-amateur pvp with ladders etc like wow… this game isn’t for you
*If you like pro-pvp like moba… this game isn’t for you
*If you like real open world pvp… this game isn’t for you
*Most importantly if you like to have a goal… this game isn’t for you

‘this game isn’t for you’ is a common reply to many posts and it is sadly and actually a true reply for the most posts. I really believe that devs prepared this game for a really specific(even unique) type of a player base.

There is plenty of gear progression: White->blue->green->yellow->orange->Pink->Purple, there is more progression in this game and it takes longer then most games on the market. If you want gear progression then this is the ultimate game for you!

If you strictly like only 3 roles then I guess this game isn’t for you, but Gw2 has 4-5 unique roles that greatly expand the trinity system. We still have straight up DPS, always a classic. Instead of tanks we have defensive buffers. Classes that offer defensive boons to their party. We have offensive buffers. Builds that boost party damage by sharing offensive boons. We have control players. Players that debuff enemies and disable them. We have Utility players who use a variety of banners/shouts/traps, etc to provide unikittenfects to the group. There are more roles in this game then many classic MMO’s, but it certainly is in no way shape or form roleless like you are implying. So if you like diverse and meaningful roles then this game is certainly for you.

If you like raids then this game is most certainly for you. There are huge world bosses that require 20-30 people. There are guild missions which require 50+ people. There are small tightly focused dungeons that require 5 people. They are still adding things, but the raiding environment is slowly becoming more and more prevalent as time goes on. Once they finish revamping the world bosses this game will have more relevant raids then any other game around.

I can’t say I’ve ever met anyone that played a game solely for mounts? Why would that even be a motivation to play a game? I don’t understand this statement…

I’m not going to comment on PvP because I haven’t done enough of it to say one way or the other with any meaningful opinion.

There are more goals in this game then any game I have ever played. Map completion is rewarded, completing all the jumping puzzles is rewarded. Getting the highest cultural armor is rewarded. Getting a legendary is rewarded. WvW armor. PvP rank. Unique skins. Fractal progression. Achievements. I’ve played over 600 hours and still only have about half my goals done and they just keep adding more. If you like having long term goals then this game is your dream come true!

So basically nothing you said is actually true…

DONT even try compare raiding with Group Events, theres no tactics no skill in group events its only zerg fest everywhere, not in a 1000 years you can compare raiding with group events.

Do not forget

*If you like to have challenge in pve, this game is not for you
*If you like Theorycraft, this game is not for you
*If you want to be the best with your class, this game is not for you

Amazing how Anet keeps making mistakes

“Later this year, we’ll be expanding as much of the changes to the PvE open world as we can as well.”

Oh cmon you always said that the update for culling would afect all the game…

How am i supose to do Guild missions without seeing half my guild…

Short answer No.

If any Dev reply here will be NO because of the Economy of the game that is very important, sometimes even more importent than the players…

in some time a Dev will say that is RNG.

Now fractals right now it sucks, theres no reason to keep doing fractals after 20+ because the gear is the same.

We cant infuse Amulets and probably accessorys because they dont drop in fractals and thats is stupid.

Most of us have 30+ rings in the bank doing nothing and 5000+ relics and 100+ Pristines in the bank and right now we cant do nothing with them and thats a shame this could be alot of potencial.

And for last is really stupid give a better reward(-100% to get a rare) at lvl 11 event that take 5minutes to complete(Fire elemental/Maw etc) and give BLUES and GREENS for doing a Fractals that take atleast 40m i just dont do 40 in fractals because of that, and yes you can do 40+ even 50 or 60 with 35ar.

And can some Dev tell me how hard it is to make ascended gear salvage and how hard is to introduce new ascended gear(amulets/accessorys) in the daily chest and in the fractals vendor? Really how hard could it be.

probably will go up when ppl have the 40 laurs but only for some hours/days, and is not that hard do money from TP you just need to “read” the economy.
I got +30g from last patch by buying ectos before the patch and sell them after patch for 50s each.

Check supply and demand and you may get an ideia

GATED Content again this is stupid this is exacly like the others MMOs

600mb and still going so is not 500mb

So are Anet with the same philosophy of no grind for better gear?

Looks not.

Now we cant farm anything in the game, we cant do dragons more than one time per day cant do temples more than 1 time per day whats next?? Only do cof 1time per day? Log in the game only for 3 hours? Seriously Anet.

Can you try to fix the game without “hurting” the players?

Thank god my guild have 300k infuence ;D

Iehova.9518:

Am I seeing ascended “accessories” there?

I hope so, ok now im hype for this patch ehehe

Uhhh nice is the ascended gear “new”? or is rings and amulets?

As the topic says will be possible to infuse the amulets and finally can we have 40agony?

Guild Missions = Raids in Open World?

So this is how loot works in GW2 the loot table in the mobs are all the same you can get every piece of gear in any ANY mob in the game and thats the problem, in other games that i´ve played(WoW Rift Tera Etc) the mobs have different loot tables some mobs give Z weapons/armor others mob gives you X weapon but in GW2 Every mob chest have the same loot table if anything is different is the % of the items for exemple in jumping puzzle chest you have 1% of getting a rare and 0.1% of a exotic on dragons chest you have 10% of getting a rare and 1% of a exotic piece in fractals you hace 15% of rares and 2% of exotic something like this, so this is why the loot is to Random(RNG) if you played WoW you know the chance of getting a rare mount from TK raid the exotics in here is almost the same, thats why the loot on this game is crap and thats why ppl say that MF dont work if you have 0.1% of getting a exotic from a mob with MF you have 0.2% whoa nice improve will be rich now… NOT

Besides i dont know if im the only one but im getting WHITES on fractals on boss and chests…

And is stupid at lvl 40+ be rewarded with blues, and i still dont understand why Anet says that you get better rewards at each level when you dont get anything new or different, so please fix the loot or tell us the true about loot.

Wake up guys!!! Stop with the “another fiasco” “oh manipulation” you only buy if you want and thank Anet for given us the possibility of buying things with in-game currency and not only with Real money.
