You can’t ask to rid off of things just for personal aesthetic reasons. Bad form.
BUT you can ask to get rid off things that really interfere with your gameplay. Like giant black wings that continually obscure the vision.

So I should be able to ask to get rid of Norn and Charr characters then?

Pretty sure it’s not. I use overwolf and it’s myriad apps, teamspeak, custom music, quite a few others. I’m not banned yet.

To be fair none of those actually does anything with the game.

Well, uhm…Anet actually.

Maguuma.

Might have different levels/biomes whatever they are calling it, but they never said they were opening up more than the Maguuma area.

Region != Map.

And it is extremely unlikely that the whole Heart of Maguuma is a single map.
In fact they have said MAPS multiple times.

I agree with this. As someone who has played this game for a very long time and still only have like 17 % MC I was pretty annoyed to find that I had to level in PvE to actually do stuff on my new account.

The PvE in this game is really awful and I wouldn’t force even people I hate to do it.

There is a grand total of nothing that forces you to level in PvE.
You can go straight for PvP or WvW after leaving the intro-instance. Simply go to your capital, take Asura Gate to Lion’s Arch and from there take Asura Gate to Heart of the Mists or one of the WvW maps.

Closed Beta Test Pool

Posted by: lordkrall.7241

lordkrall.7241

In my opinion, is more a free marketing campaign than an actual betatesting. If they actually want to be tested, it would have an NDA.

If it was a marketing campaign, why do it with such a small number (at first) though? It is not a open beta, nor is it a beta were they just allow any random guy that get lucky on putting in a key on the webpage access.

I think it is more a matter of not having to waste time and resources hunting down NDA leaks and stopping people from getting unfair economical advantages due to knowing coming recipes and such.

I dont know why someone can’t just tell us why W1 and W2 arent in the game currently. I’m sure they have a good reason. There is no way they just like seeing me cry ;(

Because when they were here last people raged like mad about them and thus it is likely that they would wait to release it again until they have done changes based on that feedback. Making changes takes manpower, manpower that is currently being spent better elsewhere, such as working on the expansion.

…is this serious? On account of it being bought a long time ago? Holy kitten, I think my head just exploded.

YES. The fact that people have waited for a year and a half for the return of a festival that was initially run twice in a 5-month period and are now fed up with waiting for it, that seems like a way more legitimate reason to deny refunds.

You can’t be serious. You can’t. I refuse to believe that.

Yes, most things will only ever get refunded if refund was requested within a certain time actually.

Or do you seriously believe that you can demand a refund forever after you have bought something?

What else is coming on the expansion?

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: lordkrall.7241

lordkrall.7241

I never said they announced everything in the PAX presentation.
I mean that right now all the features that the expansion will have was announced, Colin Johanson said that in the Matt Visual interview.

And yet they also said that during/shortly after the announcement, but clearly that was not the case.

We also have no idea how the new WvW map will work. We have no idea how Guild Halls will work. We have no idea what the challenging group content is. We have no idea how the maps work or look. We have no idea how the new story is built and so on.

There is plenty of stuff that we know nothing or very little about.

Yes, the devs said that all the new features was announced already, only thing they need to do now is to give more detailed information about said features.

Knowing this, there will be no new conquest map, just the new Stronghold map.

To be fair they said that when the announce the expansion, and yet they didn’t say anything at all about Adventures and Outposts, and yet those seems to be rather major features.

But sure, would be nice to add them there down the line. Far from a priority though.

Still, my biggest points are – it’s just camera and stability. It’s not like there was going to be CONTENT in this patch. The timing on when it comes out is so not important, I can’t even express it.

How do you know? We have no information whatsoever about whether the camera and stability changes are the only thing in the patch.

why do people keep saying traits are unrelated to NPE its in the NPE page
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/a-fresh-start-the-new-player-experience-in-guild-wars-2/

There is a grand total of one mentioning of the word traits there. Which even outright states that it was not being released as part of the NPE.

Our last feature pack also changed traits to no longer require going to a merchant and buying a book at each tier to unlock them; you unlock a tier for free as soon as you reach the appropriate level.

“In doing so: we’re going to be removing the current trait unlocking system currently on live and replacing it with a more simplified system that supports where skills-traits-specializations are going in the future. We’ll go into more details between now and the release of HOT on how skills, traits, and specializations will work in the new Gw2 world.”

I’m just saying at least wait until the patch to see what’s changed before making a judgement because of this announcement it might change NPE since there won’t be a traits unlock system in the future.

The trait system was not a part of the NPE actually, so don’t really see how that post is relevant to the NPE at all.

I hope we can at least get a new release date soon, if not a rough estimate. For all we know it could be a delay of a day or a week.

If they had a date it is quite likely that they would have given us one. The problem with giving estimates is that people are unable to understand the difference between an estimation and a set in stone promise. Therefore it is quite unlikely that we will hear anything about a release until it is 100% ready.

I won’t be chosen. I’ve been too critical in the past.

Apart from a few minor tweaks, I wouldn’t expect any major changes to what they have decided to do already.

To be fair being critical in a constructive way is actually exactly what should be in the beta.

They made some rather major changes both to the original release and EotM based on beta feedback actually.

How exactly do you know, lordkrall, without having engaged in similar talks with said new players? I’m oh so curious.

Because every time this discussion turns up there seems to be new players posting about not having any issues with the new system?

It is also a matter of logic. If the new players have no information whatsoever about how things used to be, they have nothing to compare to, and thus it all seems natural and logical for them.

option to toggle off wings

I can “hide” cosmetic armors of other people by using lower graphic settings. Weapons, miniatures and back items seem to have a very high priority for some reason.

While true that is not specifically targeted at the cosmetic armors, but rather the graphics as a whole and used in order for people with less powerful computer to be able to play somewhat decently.
I doubt quite much that people use that option in any large regard unless they have to.

1. Delaying something on the day/day before (depending on your timezone), something is supposed to be released is not cool.

I would assume that it was simply something that turned up/broke just before they were making it ready for release. That is simply how development works. Maybe it all worked out great on Friday, but they decided to fix something else yesterday and it broke something horribly. Should they just go ahead and release it anyway?

Yes that does indeed mean that they are not patches, they are clearly planned content releases, not changes and features. Since this thread was about a patch i took it for granted that the subject would be about patches which i stated.

And yet every single one of the releases I linked included changes and features. Point stands: Claiming that there have never been updates on other days than Tuesdays is blatantly false.

Because selling the game for so little money for “a few weeks” would be very bad for business?

Everything you linked is something tied to tradition or holidays, living story, content updates not ordinary “patches”. I never said that they “must” release patch on tuesdays, but they always done that get your facts straight.

That release was on a friday btw
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/november-2012/

Does that mean they are not patches?
Are we suddenly using a completely different definition of patch now? You claimed that they have never had any patches on other days than Tuesdays, with is clearly very false, seeing as multiple large updates have been released on other days.

And no, the event started on Friday, but the patch itself went live on Thursday on November 15th.

You keep claiming I am wrong, and yet you provide no proof that I am wrong, while I on the other hand have provided quite a bit of proof that I am indeed correct and your statements about only patches on Tuesdays is clearly wrong.

They delayed the first feature pack for example, they wont delay it for 2 weeks when did i say that? They will postpone it to the 17th.. Please give me an example when the released a patch on mondays wednesdays and thursdays.

Did they?
I am quite certain that it was released on April 15th, the day they always said it would be released.
But if they must follow their release schedule, they should release it in two weeks, since we had a patch two weeks ago. Otherwise it would kitten up the schedule, wouldn’kitten You say that they must release it on a Tuesday because they always do that (which is false) and yet they could easily release it on a week where there would be no patch?

No anet wont release a patch on any other day then tuesdays. I’ve been playing guild wars 2 for 2.7 years and they never released anything on wednesdays or thursdays.

To be fair this is the first time they are delaying a patch as far as I am aware, and it is highly unlikely that they would delay it for two weeks (if they are done before that).
When it comes to delays, things are usually released as soon as they are ready.

And actually, yes, they have released stuff on both Wednesdays and Thursdays. And Mondays.

Boss Wyvern too easy?

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: lordkrall.7241

lordkrall.7241

So, now that I’ve actually played the demo, this is a legitimate concern. The Wyvern is a cake walk.

A cluster of random people, all playing a class they’ve never done before were able to easily destroy the Wyvern, consistently, despite never once actually successfully breaking the break bar. It really wasn’t even hard.

Timing the break bar was a bit difficult, but since it really had no impact on the fight, ultimately, who cares?

A single fight of multiple. That is almost guaranteed toned down quite a bit in order to now totally destroy everyone in the demos since they can’t use their own characters and it is timed.

I don’t really think it is fair to base the actual live game difficulty on that.
