Guild Wars 2

roostapro.9827:

Because it is my money, and I will choose what i want to do, and when I want to put money into the game.

Money = Companies lifeline, when it dries up, it dies (note: previous game i played is now dying rather quickly and has fell short of its target by…. £24million, and is rapidly losing more by poor business decisions and not taking players consideration into their heads…this is true)

So to answer your question..because I am a player playing THEIR game.

But why should they take a very small minority of players into consideration when the majority would gain more from the coming change?

roostapro.9827:

That is true, nobody did ask nor tell me to play on a NA server, I chose a NA server because I had some friends on it (now I have many) and,this was a time when reset time wasn’t separated so either way if I chose EU or NA the reset time was the same, 0000UTC.

It is not whining, but the reset has been the same for the past 8months and putting it back to the original, 0000UTC for NA servers not only makes sense but is logical as so many people are used to that time on NA and have worked a system around it.

Now? EU players on NA servers either need to miss reset or pay to transfer to an EU server, which many including myself will not do to have a good reset time.

And why do you feel that they should take people playing on the “wrong” servers into consideration?

Khallis.5708:

nah WvW is a zergfest, where numbers are the only factor in deciding a fight. i gave that up a month or two after release. I am talking SPVP but on a larger scale, 15-25 people on each side, objective based on a decent sized map.

Still sounds like WvW.

Zerging != winning in WvW, you don’t get enough points from simply killing the enemy to win.
Splitting out in smaller groups and attacking objectives is more or less needed if you are to have any chance at all in a decently balanced WvW match-up.

People need to learn the difference between spying and sabotaging.
Spying is fully allowed by the game, whilst sabotaging is not.

You mean like WvW?
It already exist and have been in the game since release.

Great news!
Thanks for making this happen!

Vayne.8563:

How about that. This was completely off my radar.

Happy birthday Anet!

I wonder what I’ll get in Guild Wars 1 as my 8th year birthday present. lol

A gift-card that can be traded for a gift box from any of the earlier years.

TheMightyAltroll.3485:

Also, LordKrall because I’ve seen your posts, and many of the posts of the other players in this thread that I have referred to as “Elitists” who are very quick to jump onto the “l2p” bandwagon rather than be actually helpful as many people here have been. Honestly, I believe you are more of a hinder to these forums than a help.

You do know that the kind of posts you make: “I am awesome in tPvP and I make no faults at all” makes you look very much like an elitist yourself right?

I love how everyone that says that the problem might lie with the OP suddenly is a “ignorant elitist”.

Why would you start a thread on a forum if you can’t accept that you are not the best player in the world and can make mistakes?

Nope.
If you left based on what you wrote in your post it is not worth coming back.

So you were undergeared and used a experimental build and you are mad that you lost?

Stealth does not make someone immortal, you can still kill someone that is stealthed after all.

TheMightyAltroll.3485:

If it were balanced around group play, Thief is horrible, Mesmer is below average, Warrior downright sucks, and Elementalists are OP.

If it were balanced around 1v1, everyone except Mesmer, Thief, and Elementalist are completely unviable.

I’m not sure what this is balanced around, since no one is really balanced. If they wanted to give everyone unique jobs/capabilities, they probably should have done that.

The game is balanced around 5v5.

TheMightyAltroll.3485:

• Thirdly, Bullcrap I’m not supposed to beat a class in 1v1 if I wanted to: This is supposed to be “Balanced” remember?

It is not supposed to be balanced around 1v1 though.

Rewiinded.9401:

What’s personally ticking me off is the HUGE difference between the sell price and the buy price for gems.

Average price to buy 100 gems: 2g 89s
Average price you get for 100 gems: 2g 14s

Where does that 75s go? Is it transaction costs? That means an almost 26% procent difference. That’s 12, yes, 12!!!!! TIMES AS MUCH AS ON THE ACTUAL FREAKING REAL LIFE STOCK MARKET.

It’s ridiculous. I know they want to make a profit by taking gold out of the economy. Personally I think it’s discouraging people from buying gems with real money and selling it for gold as well. Especially since they know they’re only going to get 75% of the actual value.

The bold part is quite important here.
Of course they want to discourage people from selling the gems for gold, since they want as many as possible to buy the gems with real money.

TheMightyAltroll.3485:

Yes I understand sPvP and the like are completely different, but I outmatched him in skill, he was making beginner’s mistakes with his Thief… he just.. was CONSTANTLY in stealth. I received backstab like 5 times.

So you lost to someone that was making “beginner’s mistakes”?
What makes you think you “outmatched him in skill”? Clearly you didn’t since you got owned.

So, you basically want a completely different game that have nothing at all to do with Guild Wars 2?

Might I suggest you start looking for another game to play?

No.
One name change contract gives you the ability to change the name once on one character.

Spies != Saboteurs though.

As for reporting them: Take screenshots and contact support.

They are probably looking into it.
But at the same time it might prove too difficult/expensive to be worth it.
This is after all not a big problem for most of the playerbase.

So a server with the most rich people will be able to buy themself a win by simply spamming these NPCs?

Sounds extremely far-fetched I would say.

It is a text about forges, of course said forges would make weapons.

There are several personal story missions that are about testing new weapons and such, and yet we don’t get those weapons or skins for doing the personal story.

Rackhir Tanelorn.9123:

@Snowreap

If you were responding to me I think you completely missed what I was saying.

My Server had the best Reset in months likely because we have very good coverage and are less-dependent on large Guilds. That wasn’t the point:

• Reset Night is the only “WvW Special Event” in the game.
• Guilds thrive on these “special events”
• The Reset Change severely damaged that
• Less participation is bad for the Guilds and the game

ANet should be doing things to encourage player and Guild participation, not discourage it. A rotating Reset Time does that for all Regions. This bullkitten solution doesn’t.

So encouraging player and Guild participation in the European part of the world is not encouraging it?
Keep in mind that not everyone live in the US.

Rackhir Tanelorn.9123:

It definitely wasn’t “more or less the same” – East Coast Kiddies got in just fine while people who work for a living sat in queues or simply took the night off.

So the amount of people were still more or less the same? Since there were queues and such I mean.

You are however assuming that the GW2 team have nothing against working every single Saturday.

Another thing to keep in mind is that WvW usually sees the most action during the weekends, and having the reset when more or less half the weekend is already over would most likely hurt it more than it would help it.

Whitey.6185:

Although i did quite enjoy SAB for a few hours, i think Arena net need to focus on improving what’s already in the game instead of adding these little events and stuff that last a few weeks which quite frankly no one even asked for.

Yes, adding new fun content is good, but not when the rest of the game still needs work, i hear loads of people saying what they think needs fixing and improving, and not once have i ever heared someone say, it would be cool if they added some old style mini game event.

Same with flame and frost events, they add a few minutes of extra gameplay to the game, which to me is not as important as improving dungeons (the core of any MMO for me)

Just my thoughts.

You are assuming that they only have those few people working on the game though.
Which has been stated quiet a few time to not be the case.

The few people that have worked on F&F and SAB are not the same people that works on new features, bugs, security, animation, jumping puzzles, balancing and so on.

So, now that the reset time has been changed, did WvW die on the NA servers? Or was it more or less as every other reset?

I would suggest looking at the date for the original post

calankh.3248:

By that logic, why are they adding new items to the gem store? That caters to current players. From Arenanet’s perspective, it doesn’t matter if I buy with gems or gold, someone still has to pay $ for the gems. I’m not asking for anything for free, merely for the current price rather than the 7 months ago price.

I maintain this would be a logical thing to offer.

This is how sales work. We already had 7 months of game time, and I would say that is worth quite a bit more than the current sale.
There will always be sales, that is how the real world works, and it is very unusual for sales to “reward” current customers, since they are not the target for the sale in most cases.

The ascended gear have the “upgrade slot” built into the item, so the first part shows the items stats and the last part (which include more of the same stat) shows the “upgrade component”.

Why would a sale of the game cater to those already playing though?
Another thing to keep in mind is that you can technically get the upgrade for free by trading gold to gems (even if that would be quite expensive.)

Jon Snow.6780:

How many times will you spam your blatant fanboyism on this forum and Guru?

You see what i did there?

PS; read this, http://techreport.com/blog/21294/the-science-of-fanboyism

And yet my post was quite justified (I didn’t even say I disagreed with the video btw) since the video in question (with more or less the same post btw) have been posted several times this last week, so it is clearly not needed to post it even more.

How many times will people spam this video on these forums?

SirDrygan.1823:

I did not say I don’t like the content!!! I LOVE IT.

I only say it doesn’t FIT into the game! Hence the wasting resources and time on it! If I had hated the game, I would have been even more negative. The only thing I was negative about is not about how the devs did it in their free time or not what they did after work.
It is they put something out of context in the storyline that does not fit into the lore they are creating! Past, Present or Future!!!

But it DOES fit into the game.
Asura are inventors.
A specific Asura invented a game.
He allows people to play said game in Rata Sum.

How would it not fit into the lore?
We have massive airships and laser guns.
We have magic and massive dragons.
Why wouldn’t it be possible to have computer games?

clay.7849:

No, they are right, I’m just not gonna do hours worth of work for someone like you. Why would I?

Because posting stuff and claiming they are fact but refuse to actually provide any proof is stupid and just makes you look silly.

clay.7849:

Oh yea, that 90% thing? I don’t care to take the time to do hours worth of work just to prove my point. Sorry. I don’t really care if you believe me or not. If you played PvP from Prophecies through Nightfall you would just know the amount of builds and creativity that went into the game and the various metas.

Sorry?

So your posts are simply bullkitten that you don’t even want to try to prove correct?

clay.7849:

I love that you think you know even the first thing about PvP in GW1. Did you ever even go into Heroe’s Ascent let alone hold halls?

Did your guild ever beat a top 100 guild in GvG?

Did you ever even go into GvG and win a match against anyone?

I love the fact that you constantly posts stuff on these forums, but whenever someone asks for an actual source you simply ignore it.

I never understood why people that have quit a game still feel the need to post threads and post on said games forums.
If I don’t like a game I simply leave, I do not torment myself by visiting the games forums.

SirDrygan.1823:

I am talking about SAB not Frost and Flame. It does not fit in the context of the storyline. Frost and Flame fits into the lore, but not SAB.

But SAB have nothing to do with the Flame and Frost storyline.
Just like Flame and Frost have nothing to do with the Personal Storyline.

It isn’t Soulbound when you buy it, but as the description says it will Soulbind on Use.

SirDrygan.1823:

Because it is not relevant to the context of the storyline. Had they posted something like the Mad King or Winsterdays which are actually LORES in the world of Tyria, then it would had not been a problem, but it make not sense for SAB.

Yes, I have fun with SAB, but that is another matter for me.

There are lore behind the SAB.
Asura are inventors.
One Asura wanted to make a game
Said Asura made SAB and decided to test it on the inhabitants and visitors of Rata Sum.

clay.7849:

No, at some point, 90% of elementalist skills were run at one time or another, in PvP.

See, what you don’t know about PvP in GW1 is that the elementalist was never a real damage dealer. It was much more a utility role. And, as such, there was never an optimal build. The elementalist rolled with so many different skills to account for many different things, especially in relation to the changing meta.

So, it is not even crazy to think that the elemenatlist used 90% of it’s skills at one time or another in PvP.

My guess is most people can’t comprehend the elementalist as anything more than a “nuker”.

So, where are your proof that “90% of the elementalist skills and 75% of the profession skills” where actually used at some time? And we all know that we talked about used for real, not used for 10 minutes because someone was bored.

SirDrygan.1823:

I am not ungrateful. I only asked why they wasted resources and time on it. If I am ungrateful, I would have phrased my post differently and most swearing or kittens..etc.

And I did not say dislike it SAB or the flash game. In fact, I love it (SAB), had a great time running around with other pugs but that is another matter altogether.

So, how are they wasting time?
Do you require them to work on the actual game even on their free time?

clay.7849:

I could go through and do the math on this one though.

In fact, the elementalist one has been done.

Feel free. I will be waiting.

clay.7849:

Actually, in PvP, at one time or another, over 75% of the skills were used from each class. The elementalist alone had 90% of their skills used at one time or another.

82% of all statistics are made up.

What makes you think there are no GMs there?

If people actually do report them with proof they will get punished, but without proof there is not much Anet can do.

How many of those “awesome skills in the GW1 system” were actually used though?
A rather high amount of skills were never really used, AT ALL. And quite a few of them were duplicates from different campaigns.

How DARE employees do stuff that can be used for the game in their spare time?
I mean of course they should not do ANYTHING AT ALL when they don’t work, especially nothing that involves what they actually like doing!

This is more or less how threads like these sound..

tomaz.4978:

i think it isnt fair that we dont get it. its just too cool. ow and GIVE US NEW FLAME ARMOUR AND NEW FROST ARMOUR!

So it is not fair that you don’t get something other have actually paid for?
I suppose it is not fair that a friend of mine have an awesome car while I don’t either.
I should get those awesome car for free then, right?

Theoldman.6483:

As your employer I really appreciate how well you use your time for which you expect to get paid. Don’t bother to come to work Monday!

So.. a employee doing something on his SPARE TIME is something that the higher ups should do something about?
