Guild Wars 2

GussJr.1643:

I wish that story had been in game :/ So dark and creepy.

Which is most likely also the reason why they wouldn’t even try to put it in-game.
If they had put it in-game they would most likely had to cut down on it quite a bit due to rating.

And as always when they release posts like these people completely disregard the impossibility to show most (or all in this case) of it in game.

It would make zero sense to see this in the game, since the only people that actually would be able to show/tell us this is extremely unlikely to do so.

You can buy them from the TP, there is a massive supply there.

So, we already know everything that will happen this years Halloween them?

How can you NOT know what is abuse and/or personal attacks?

“I find this release bad because of this, this and this” = Alright

“I find this release bad because ArenaNet’s devs are useless and don’t have a clue about what they are doing” = Personal attacks.

Maybe the best way would simply be to not abuse people or post personal attacks?
That would protect you from “account-termination” (which, btw, is only for the forum as far as I am aware, not ingame).

Have you checked your home-instance, because that is where the node spawns (or at least should spawn).

Thobek.1730:

(just look how a few things have sparked more interest than scarlet ever could).

Oh?
I am quite sure there were MASSIVE amount of interest around Scarlet before The Queens Speech.

How would you prepare?
If you see that you will face a tough server you will call in sick from work for a week, or how do you mean?
Why not simply give it your all every match-up?

Empyre.2531:

As long as ANet labels common mentioning of a dev (or ANet in general) as personal attacks, yes, this is over-moderation.

You mean as long as ANet enforces the rules that have been on these forums since day one?
They have stated every since release that shout-outs to specific devs or employees will not be okay. It is not something new.

Oh come on now.
Do people really feel like they NEED to post PERSONAL ATTACKS against devs and if they can’t the forum is bad? Seriously?

Or maybe it have to do with the fact that there have been massive amounts of these kind of attacks the last few days/weeks and now they finally had enough?
I doubt it has anything at all to do with Leagues starting soon.

How does it ruin last years version?
Is last years version somehow destroyed? If that is the case I must congratulate ArenaNet for being the first company ever to successfully create a working time-machine.

GreenAlien.5623:

Funny thing is, the pumpkins are still around, but totally pointless now..

They are used for dailies. At least yesterday had a daily that required carving 5 of them.

How is it any different from the grind last time though?
The only real difference is that the bosses added are a bit more time-consuming, but other than that it is more or less the same.

Monkey Fritz.9052:

Walhalla.5473:

Perhaps this one is a prelude to another Living Story Arc that will come after the Scarlet Arc.

I think you are suffering from some rather serious delusions here. Scarlet is the “main” villain and your personal nemesis. She will never die. She will always show up. She will always send you annoying stalker mail. She will somehow be responsible for the awakening of the elder dragons. Five years from now, people will still be begging anet to just kill her off already.

Why are you assuming that Scarlet will be the main villain for all Living Stories?
For all we know she will only be here for THIS Living story and we will face something else when the next “book” is released so to speak.

Nope, it is need and probably outlines the thing hidden by the magic.

Because people will always complain about everything, no matter what it is.

They very much count.
And if you read the actual achievement it says EVENTS quite clearly.
Not all doors have events, thus not all door counts since you don’t complete door events.

Lack of direction?
I haven’t checked any guide but I found it quite clear what I was suppose to do after the first instance.

It probably has to do with paying attention to stuff I suppose.

Repairing is very much for defenders.

The main issue with having an achievement tied to defending is the fact that the defending events seems to not award credit half of the time, which would flood this forum with people complaining about not getting credit.

Why simply not double-click them? Then they will “disappear”?

Quite that it has come to this though. People complaining about free stuff.

Maybe you should pay attention to the information that pops up in the middle of the screen as you start it?

Mad King’s Day is however quite some time (and another patch) away. So we can’t really judge it yet.
Right now we can only really compare the first few hours of last years event with this event.

Yes, there are nodes outside of the Labyrinth, just like last year.

The main issue is that many of last years achievements were tied to that story and finding out more about the Mad King.
They wouldn’t really work that well this year, when those things are no longer happening.

Also people did complain like mad last year about how they were “forced to grind” in order to get all the achievements and how much they sucked.

And if they did return people would complain about how they just recycle content and that doing them is pointless because they will just keep coming back.

SpyderArachnid.5619:

Maybe it tells you something if we are constantly getting these topics after every single release.

Just a thought, but if there is so many threads on this after every release, maybe, just maybe, it should become a concern if so many players are not happy.

Or maybe it is simply a testament to the fact that no matter what people will complain about something?
Especially when most of the threads don’t even have any actual real criticism but just complains for the sake of complaining.

Funny how we always get exactly the same topic after every single release ever released.

Not everyone is playing for rewards, or at least see the fun as reward itself.

Lucky did very much give actual advantages though.

There is however no achievement that you NEED to do that requires grind.
If you don’t want the grindy ones, simply do the dailies each day and you should finish it in a few days.

True!
But it is still a defensive action!

It is no longer obtainable, and the Historical tab only seems to show Achievements you have actually gotten, not those you have missed.

Another thing to point out is that the Mini is gotten from the Dungeon meta, which is permanent, it was the back-item that was gotten from the LS-meta.

Hmm? How is repairing NOT defense?

And technically you won’t have to do any of them, since you can join a party and finish the story as long as someone else have done the meta.

Incorrect.

All professions CAN do all three parts. Damage, Support, Control.
But in different ways.

A warrior can definitely not tank. If he tries he will die. And Elementalist can heal quite well, same with Warriors.

The fact that there were millions of the other materials around for quite some time after last Halloween most likely.

Hm?
Unless I miss something you CAN’T have completed everything yet, since it is not yet possible to have enough of the achievements to complete the meta-event in order to unlock the “last” part of the story.

I also wonder where you get the whole : “a month’s worth of content” when it is only two weeks until the next update, which most likely ties into this one.

Hmm, something to do with krait it seems.
Or possibly the mad king?

Indeed, but there is a MASSIVE amount of CC out in the game already from last year, and it will most likely be the same after this year (which is live even longer no less) and thus they need a high price in order to kill off some of the supplies.

The main issue with the current situation is that it is more or less impossible to defend against anything unless you outnumber the attackers. Stuff simply goes down way too fast and it is not uncommon for attackers to be at lord just a few seconds after the contested marker turns up.

At this time you more or less need to have a zerg standing ready in every keep in order to hold them, since you don’t have enough time to run there even if you have scouts telling you it is under attack.

Tomorrow, when it is ready.

Aedelric.1287:

I assume you mean the `royal we´.

I, and I am sure many others do not use facebook as such I only have the info provided by the official release page.

Which would mean that you simply misunderstood what they actually wrote on the release page. There is nothing (nor have there been) anything that says that they would preview the new Halloween event.

It does however not say anything at all about previewing the Blood and Madness EVENT, it says Blood and Madness RELEASE, which involve said balancing changes.

It is quite likely that they didn’t show anything from the actual event in order to avoid spoiling stuff for people. It wouldn’t be the first time.

Technically we DID get a sneak peek.
They showed us (some of) the balancing changes made, which are a rather major part of the release.

The whole point of the sale however is for it to end BEFORE the league starts.
So either they would have had to ended it over a week ago, or pushed the league back two weeks more.

It is also not possible to get the achievement for doing CM today (at least not Story Mode) so it might be a time-related bug specifically for the LS dailies.

Chaosky.5276:

A lot of people here seem to like their gear advantages. I’ve never understood how an unlevel playing field is fun in a PvP setting.

Because a war is never fair? We already have a fair game mode. sPvP.

I was thinking about those as well, but it says (story or explorable).
But that might refer to only TA now that I read it again.

Just finished a story-mode run of CM and didn’t seem to update the daily. Same issue as with yesterdays Keymaker.
