Guild Wars 2

I say this…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=kS-MaWnK4F8#t=14s

I feel like classes are not unique enought. Maybe I was just too used to gw1. The things I dislike the most are those skills or traits that give you 1 might for example. Very kitten useful. But most of the classes have access to most of the boons and conditions. I don’t like that. I want more diversity. I feel classes were alot better in gw1.

NornBearPig.9814:

This could maybe be fixed by making retaliation work on every condition applied while retaliation was active. So if you already had a stack on him when he pops retaliation it will not affect those conditions, but if you ignore his boon and keep stacking, those conditions you stacked while boon was up will cause you to take retaliation damage even after the boon has ended.

YES PLEASE!

Buy EOtN just for the soundtrack alone! It’s awesome.

I hate that this game is getting more and more time gated. They’re trying to stretch things over longer periods so the numbers of logins and play time look better for them. I believe they had the same reason to implement anti-farm/DR system. To streatch things out.

It’s like going to a store and wanting to buy 3 pieces of bread and the merchant says: “Noup, you can only buy 1 per day….”

Seriously? O_o

kitten s noup. Different match I guess.

Communication in solo queue is just plain awful. 90% of the time noone even responds.

One good (well cerainly better than current state) would be quick commands. Press and hold some key, on screen you get 4 biiiig icons and you just swipe your mouse in which direction you need, and it automatically puts something in chat like “Need assistance!” like in other games, mostly FPS. That sounds interesting?

I kitten hate this. It’s kitten dota cmomunity sindrome all over again.

About 15sec into the game someone mentioned enemy team has 2 guards, and another team mate idiot told us we have 4 noobs. A few “omg noob” statements later someone else is ranting he killed 1 person in 2v1 and noone helped him. Ofcourse nothing indicated he needed help and he didn’t even say he heeded help.
Communicate with the team! A simple “help altar” or just “help” might take you a long way!

Later, some complaints about the fights, someone complained it’s always 1v4. Ofcourse it is, if you run into 4 enemy players it’s 1v4 unfortunatelly.
Learn when to back off.

Another game some dude got killed and ofcourse it was my fault because I was lagging. Sure. I’m terribly sorry. Next time he died he yelled at my team mate “LOL LAST HITTER!”. Few kills later “Nice, 3v1.”.
It’s a MULTIPLAYER game. Deal with it. It encourages teamplay not solo play! If you want singleplayer go play Super mario or tetris!

?

Remember guys:
It’s not always fault of someone else or something else.
You hear all the time people blaming another team mate, lag, godzilla on your keyboard, honey all over the keyboard any my keys are stuck, …

All this isn’t really helping already lowly populated PvP. I know it’s also because of the broken matchup system. But it’s our fault abit also.

Rajani I’m talking about the opposite. Not being able to do everything on the first day. And there was no good reason for that.

CryxTryx:

Not sure how are stretching things and repeating things connected can you elaborate on that? I don’t mind repeating things, but I mind if I want to repeat it 100 times a day but I can’t because the game prevents me (anti-farm/DR). Maybe you didn’t undestand me right.

With dragon bash I was talking about achivements which could not be completed on the same day. I had time the first day whole day so I wanted to finish everything I could but half of the achivements were for next days.

I maybe get the achivement chests thingy (receiving 10 or 20 chests would maybe be alot – do you still have to log in every day to get chest or if you don’t login you still get it?), still it bugs me abit.

About grinding materials, I know it’s doable, I just think DR system stinks because it stretches the whole farming since DR kicks in in about an hour I think.

Valento:

I still do have at least some hope that in the future things will be better. I’m not fan of the “living” story stuff, I kinda dislike most of the updates except from new items and skill fixes, but the last update (Bazaar) was a nice step forward.

(TL;DR below)

First of all, the well known anti-farm with diminishing returns on drops/loot. Let me explain something ArenaNet… This won’t make your game last longer. I wanted to farm materials normal way for me legendary but guess what, because of stupidly low drop rates and DR I rather did CoF 100 a day. Most of the MMO players don’t mind grinding for items, deal with it. We’re used to this, we did it in previous MMOs, we did it in older RPGs, …

Next thingy. In one of the previous patches you couldn’t complete achivements because there was a “story” behind them each day or something. This made you login every day just so you can grind this achivements.

In current update, you can only convert quartz once per day. You can only get 1 achivement chest reward per day.

What’s next?

I really reaaaally hate this prolonged things. I want to do as much as I can WHEN I want. Is this just to keep ArenaNet numbers up? Because it seems this way.

TL;DR

Anti-farm/DR is stupid, stop prolonging update achivements over multiple days, to hell with this 1 quartz convert per day. Stretching things over longer periods won’t keep this game alive for longer.

Gw2 still lacks abit of so called “social stickiness”.

But gw1 had alot more skills to choose from didn’t it? If you disable 5 skills here and restrict to half of the weapons you have a chance that you won’t be able to come up with something usefull. I guess.

If you have a thrustworthy friend you can mail items to him and then he can mail them back.

Since people complain about dailies and how long they take and how boring they are, I think I have an idea that might work.

Do tiered achivements for daily. Give us whole laurel if we complete all of it if not, give us “laurel leaves”. For example every tier of an achivement would give you some amount of laurel leaves and by collectiong, let’s say 20, you can convert them into whole laurel.

Just an idea. This way you get something even if you do daily only halfway through.

Any ideas, suggestions, comments?

bri.2359:

Doing dailies is brain-dead activity. Period.

I do mine in the mornings while having coffee before leaving for work. I an not even fully awake and I can get at least 3 or 4 , sometimes all 5 done in 20min. That is how brain-dead an activity this is …

I second that. So true.

BlazingZero.9702:

…with the new achievement point reward system implemented, you’re basically telling me “if you want some good stuffs, go play some more!”

Yea I’m also sick of this! I want rewards without playing! NOW!

Seriously? O_o

SpyderArachnid.5619:

Haven’t you learned by now? Anet loves time-gated content.

Ofcourse. I’ts their way of keeping numbers up by persuading people to at least log in and do something even if it’s totally boring by now.

Seriously? Did you guys even play any other games? This is fun for you?

Well, good for you then.

When is next state of the game?

We hear you guys loud and clear! We definitely plan on mitigating the leaver issue with a form of punishment. I wont give details about what the punishment will be, but it should be enough to deter this form of behavior. Anything we add will be in addition to what happens now (loss and rating hit).

And how will it ‘punish’ people who get DCed and try to come back? I DCed from a match once came back just after it had ended and received a chest for winning however got to take a lovely hit to my ranking and a loss… Thanks for that…

D/C rarely happen if you have a stable connection and if you don’t I wouldn’t suggest playing pvp because you would be a liability to your team if you have to keep reconnecting…

How dare I suffer a power surge due to a storm! I should not be allowed to pvp!

Because this happens every day…

In MOBA picking and banning does care of some balance but on the other hand in moba you take counters to your enemy heroes. And you won’t go in lane with some hero you don’t stand a chance, someone else will.

In open world pvp there’s no lanes, you can’t ban proffesions and that’s why it’s harder to balance. If you would put heroes from MOBAs in any MMO they would be imbalanced really hard.

What I DO really miss from MOBAs are great combos. In gw2 noone really cares about combo fields. Well maybe some players combo off of their own fields or some players in WvW accidentaly do combos on fields placed somewhere around them but that’s it.

A while ago I saw a fun video of lik 4-6 people in WvW holding back zerg of 25+ people at some choke point and that’s what WvW should look like. Not just mindles zergs all over. :/

The last fight IS somewhat challenging but not too hard. I just hate the fact that everthing before the last fight is just so trivial and so easy. Except for maybe the part with the golem…

I’d recommend guild Esoteric beleifs [eB].

I’m not a regular member of [eB] guild but I’m playing with them mostly now because my old guild is dead/empty. I got to know them and I played with them before even joining their guild. They’re laid back, mature and friendly even to the newbies which only started the game.

They had I think like 3-5 females I don’t know how many are there now. It’s not a big guild thought, it’s smaller and more personal.

The guild is on Gandara server.

If this sounds interesting to you I suggest you contact MoBu or Pipupip in game. Or you can contact me and I’ll refer you.

Have a nice day!
Best regards,
Matjaz

Count me in. I’m currently r20 but haven’t done many tournaments (about 50 till now). I’d love to do more tournaments with organized groups.

Is there rank req?

They should just make a give up/concede match button and if all 5 members click it other team gets full bonus points and wins. At least this is needed.

I feel like saying darn this game im going to play TESO but i have a funny feeling it will follow the same path, all mmos seem to be doing this lately whyyyyyy?

Exactyl! That’s what’s bugging me the most. Companies make MMOs for masses because they want to be next WoW. And we all know why they want to be WoW, because of the money they’re making. But that’s also the reason why 99% of MMOs fail.

I have hope for Camelot Unchained. They raised funding trough KickStarter and they’re going for RvR only MMO. No kitten, no bad PvE, sucky PvP, just over the top RvR content. And I salute to them for doing it this way!

I really hope new upcoming MMOs start inovating and doing something new not just copying everyone else… :/

WORD!

Bumpy bump bump.

Bump……………

Tired of never having time for gaming? Need to relax after a hectic day at work? Looking for a laid-back guild of players who feel the same? We would be glad to have you. We prefer mature, like-minded, laid back players. If you have a job and play only on evenings, no problem. If you have kids and play only on weekends, no problem.

The only requirement is that you represent mostly our guild and play at least once or twice a week. If you are away for a week or two because of work/kids/somethings else we understand that.

So to sum everything up. We want people that fit into our little community.

We play everything. It really depends on the mood. Mostly we do dungeons, pve content and sometimes we group up for some WvW fun. Some of us play casual PvP on occasions too.

We also do guild missions once a week. We have bounty and treks unlocked. In a week or two we’ll have guild rush also. We didn’t grind all the influence to unlock everything. We mostly get influence from generous guildies donating gold and doing bounty trainings. We also have a good alliance guild who helps us and we help them. We trust our lives with them!

(Voice communication is a big plus altough not required. We use raidcall because it’s free.)

If you’re interested whisper these guys in game: matjazmuhic.1649, Electro.3540, dzanikken.2193

P.S. Here’s a few screenshots of previous fun evening we had. We mostly take time even after we complete things like dungeons and hang around sometimes even for 30-60min.

Thumbs up (even on my toes!). DO IT ArenaNet!

It how it’s suppose to be! I hope it stays this way and people start playing more smart because of that.

Most of the other multiplayer games alow people on same team on public servers/rooms why shouldn’t we?

Thumbs up for this patch I say!

So many hipsters using it before it was cool… :O

Luthan.5236:

Only problem is the “unlimited” rallying. Unlimited in regards to everything… no range and no max amount of players.

Down itself is good and needed since there are no healer classes(so you can rezz while someone is downed and not dead yet).

Exactly. It’s stupid for 3 people to rally on 1 on enemy…

First of all congratulations to Blu for an entertaining cast last night. It was much more fun than I thought it will be.

On the other hand I have 1 more suggestion: Brighter colors for player icons on minimap.

Hey, I’m not colorblind and I think that colors are not good also. They’re too dark. Teyh should make bright green icons or something similar. Brighter for sure.

Probably has to do something with that bar “molten alliance strength” ?

Same here. Gandara.

You deserve a bump sir!

Apolo.5942:

Dude, this is kiting wars, its the way the game works.

You’d rather have respawn wars?

My stats are the same since leaderboards came out…. Same num wins and loses… O_o

One does not simply get hit by a heartseeker 3 times in a row…

I think custom matches (and maybe observer mode) is the most needed right now so people can make their own tournament ladders and stuff.

Wait 6 about months, maybe we get something called templates that does not work as it should. Just like leaderboards.

That was my first thought when I’ve read about the invisibility of the leaderboards at first. :/

Happened to me also once.

Rastaman.9015:

Guys the leaderboards are being made. Is that not enough? Yeah they said a week and something came up. kitten happens… I’d rather them do it late and right than now and wrong.

Oberver mode is also in the making…… For months…. fake cheer
