I like that dungeon finder is not in GW2,because in wow it destroyed server comunity.And that i really didn’t like.
What GW2 needs is a better Looking for Party system than it’s current one.It must NOT be automated and cross server.It should search for people only from your server.I want to make connections with people from my realn and WoW’s LFG is the worst tool ever made for that.It may find very easy groups but it destroys server community.
If Anet improves their LFP system it must never be cross-connecting or automated!It must be focused per server.
For me community is very important factor.
Story mode is just fine.I can clear everything with a pug.Yes there are some bosses which need a little more balancing but in total stor mode is good.Explorable mode is only for Hard core players and organised groups.
Thank you anet for bugged dungeons where every team runs exploit mods.
Thank you anet for bugged personal story, perhaps one day ill manage to finish it.
Thank you anet for all bugged sp.a and DE.s that are now exploited with infinitive runs
Thank you anet for anti farming policy that is so against casual players and have nothing to do with stopping bots.
Thank you so much for no grinding game, wait? all i do i grind for sets??? i am probably doing it wrong…
Thank you so much. I enyoj playing gw2 every day.
Every MMO is grindy.What is the difference between WoW and GW2?In wow you farm either PvP or raids.In GW2 has one more element which is meant for casuals.DE and events.They are not hard and give karma.
Anti farmer code is a good thing.Anet’ve created such beautiful world.Why do you want to ignor it?The code doesn’t let you farm at one spot.It gives you a reason to go around the world and do things.
About bugged personal story and events they are not being ignored.Have you saw the new patch?Anet is fixing the game.And one more thing.GW2 is only been month out.
If you compare what Anet is doing for the game and how often and what does Blizzard developers do for D3 then come and tell me again this is bugged that hasn’t been fixed.
At D3 things aren’t being fixed for months.
In GW2 you see little update today,new one 3 days later and then a big patch.
I know that D3 is not MMO but RPG what i compare are the bugs nothing else.
Really? I’ve gotten 3 and my /age is 272 I’d get several each day in WoW. I think you might be using hyperbole.
Really. I am getting at least 3 / each day at first login then more coming through the day.
Do you want to receive more? Do not loose hope. Just go say something in /map channel. Bot scanners will make sure to add you to their recipient list ……
Still not enough mail spam? Use your alt character with different name….
Anet it’s like every other company which makes MMOs.You can’t rid off all bots,
WTB – Block User Forum poster button, for trolls like UgaBuga.6457
Every community has it’s bad apples.You can’t get rid of them.What i don’t like is people’s whining without actually giving any feedback.People whine about something but they don’t say how to fix that thing or why it should be removed:((
For the 1st time I see so many bots in a game.
For the 1st time I have received so many in game mails to the point that my mailbox is full. Unfortunately mails coming from gold selling spammers.
Bots exist in every game.Look at WoW how many are farming battlegrounds.And with the introduction of CRZ there will be even more.
So what if there are bots?The are every where.In every single MMO and RPG.So what?
umm…yeah…the “gear treadmill” was around long before WoW.
True. WoW just made it a gaming staple.
Yes i absolutely agree with you.After WoW dethroned Everquest it became the new standar for MMO industry.Why do you think every new MMO is just like it?Look at Rift,Tera and SWTOR.I’m really glad that Anet tried something different.Something that is not based at your gear but at things that you like to do.That is something which grabbed me from the start.Every day i do different things.Sometimes I farm materials,sometimes i do sPvP,other times I farm DE,World bosses and events.I like doing dungeons.Some are hard other are not but I do them because they make me think.Anet say you like dungeons?Do them.You like PVP here is something for you.So i’m greatful to the system they made
In WoW i had to raid every week if i wanted to upgread my gear.In wow I was bound to start with dungeons if i wanted to be able to do raids.
If i wanted to be competitive in PvP i had to either buy PvP made gear or to farm curency from battle grounds so i can have my imba gear.
What impressed me in GW2 is that lack of gear progression.
Yes it exists here too but you are not so much dependant on it,because the difference between sets is not too big.You may have gear for 1k karma,4k karma for 44k karma.Once you get the 1st or 2nd one you will want the last one but you won’t feel the hurry to get it because you already FEEL powerfull.Yes there is significant difference in stats but in this game even if you have imba gear this doesn’t mean you are good.It means just that you invested time to get it.Now are you good or bad depends from what you do to survive.
For 1st time I enjoy to do things not because i’m bound to them if i want to go forward but because they are ectually fun.
Now there always will exist people that love grinds or want the best things.So they will do everything they can to get the best of the best.
I like how Anet aproached GW2.From new angle not based on instances but on what you like.They gave us options.I don’t sya there isn’t grind.It exists but every MMO has it.In wow,rift,SWTOR,Tera it’s raids and dungeons.
In GW2 it’s everything.From open world giving karma to dungeons giving tokens to WvW.You actually have a choice.
Now that is what impressed me in GW2.I like Anet’s approach and i’m really greatful to them.B2P model is perfect for such kind of system.Even if you are bored from it you can always stop playing.And later come back to it without losing anything.Without being left behind.You can easily catch up and adapt.
No it’s not losing it.And if it does you can always stop playing it for a while then return.It’s B2P and none monthly fee.So even if you get bored from it you won’t lose anything if you make a little break.
Thank you Anet for the great game you gave me.
I don’t see why you must be rewarded with gear for doing something.That is why i like mortal combat,supper mario and counter strike.Because i do them for fun.Not because they will improve my gear so i can one shoot people.
For 1st time i’m really enjoying a MMO that is not based on WoW’s gear treadmill.
For 1st time i’m doing something that i find fun and exciting.
For 1st time i’m not doing things for improving my ilvl gear.
For 1st time i’m actually doing dungeons not because they will improve a lot my gear but because i like the challenge and the fun they bring me.
For 1st time I appreciate the money.I was sooooo excited when i made my 1st gold.
For 1st time I have a reason to be out in the world.Seeing things jumping at rocks.Climbing jumping puzzles.
I like to have a choice.In games like Everquest,WoW,Rift,SWTOR,Tera and other similar MMOs you level as fast as possible so you can start doing the end game.
For 1st time I actually don’t hurry for anywhere.Because what i do at level 1 i’ll do at level 80 too.
For 1st time i’m not bound to raids or battlegrounds,because in GW2 you have many kinds of farming curencies which reward similar loot.And that is something i love.If you are casual and dungeons are hard for you,you can always go farm events and DE for karma.If you hate open world you can go farm WvW for different currency but the same reward.
For 1st time i have a choice what in what i want to do and what to farm.
For 1st time my gear is not the most important thing for me.
I really have forgotten what joy meant in a MMO which was not base on a gear.And i actually like to be not dependant on gear stats.
So thank you Anet for your game
Thieves are very easily stabbed.Put a condition and he can’t cast almost anything then stab him.How hard is that??Thieves are not overpowered.People just react too much for nothing
No it’s not the worst map.Sharks are not hard if you are alone vs them.You just go and capture ruins.If you go alone and if there is 1 or 2 guarding now it’s your own fault that you are alone.
I always go to ruins 1st and i had problems only when there were 2 or more people guarding.Sharks are not hard even if they attack you while you are fighting a player in the water.
1vs1 + sharks is not so hard if you know what you are doing.The hard part begins if it’s 2 or more + sharks.Now THAT is hard.Everything else are nonsence.
And one more thing people often leave ruins unguarded so it’s easy to grip it fast in your fist.
It’s not hard map at all.People just like to solo things and sPvP is meant to be done in groups and if you ignore that aspect of the game then ofcourse you will find the map hard.
People don’t like hard things.That made me laugh.
Story mode is for casuals.I can easily do it with a pug.There maybe some fights harder than others,but in total it’s not hard diffculty at all.
Now explorable mode is only for good groups.If you think to pug it and do it from the 1st try,well i will tell you – This is not going to happen
I will say it again as i did in many other threads.Explorable modes are NOT for pugs.They are only for cordinated groups that know what to do and how to support each other.
Explorable modes are Anets equivalent of WoW’s HC raids.That means they are NOT for everyone.
That post made me laugh.Story mode is soooo easy.How can you say that there isn’t a casual difficulty?I can pug it and do it with such easy.It’s not hard at all.If people have problems with it then they have to learn how to play.
Now explorable mode is only for good groups and NOT for pugs or casuals that don’t have time or a groups for them.
Right now Story mode is wow’s normal raid which currently is for everyone with all those nurfs.
Explorable mode is WoW’s HC raids which are NOT for everyone.
There are dungeons for casuals,pugs and people with less time.
And there are dungeons for better players that want challenge.
I hope the whining stops soon.But reality is different.So it will NEVER stop.People always have things to complain about.Am i happy with that?Absolutely NO!Can i do anything?Again the answer is no.
What i can do is to give feedback.That is how things can improve.Whining will not solve anything.
I agree with OP.But i just have to accept that this world is full by whiny babies and move on.
I do dungeons because i like it.I want more challenge and i can get it only in dungeons.So i don’t run them only for gear but because it’s fun,interesting and the best pve experience that i can get from GW2.
ME TOO!!
But right now, its get into organized teams with voice chat and go through everyones skill list and traits so we can set up cookie cutter combos and inform one another when we’re about to drop a heal just so we dont end up in a bad pug and end up paying 8 silvers for repairs with a 3silver reward.
So I’m not really enjoying doing any dungeons at all at the moment because of the amount of work it takes for the minimal rewards it yields.
Voice chat and good combination of classes is needed only for explorables.Story modes are so easy that you can do them even with a pug.If people know what they are doing then it’s not hard at all.
I don’t worry about Anet at all.The game is B2P so lack of subscription is one very good model.Even if people leave Anet doesn’t lose anything.And when expansion is coming many people buy it.
So what if you leave?
I don’t see any problem here.1st i can do as much pve in open world as i want from DE to world completion.From farming materials to just killing mobs for fun.If i’m bored of it i can jump directly into story dungeons.If i want challenge i will do explorable mode.If i don’t like pve i’ll do sPvP.If i hate the maps or how crowded they are then I’ll jump to tournaments.If i don’t like tPvP or sPvP then i will do WvW.
If you don’t like any of theses things then GW2 is just not for you so move on.
Right now i have 2 level 80’s and i’m leveling 2 more characters.I like to do with them everything.For me so called “End game” is not missing at all.I like how the things are!
I do dungeons because i like it.I want more challenge and i can get it only in dungeons.So i don’t run them only for gear but because it’s fun,interesting and the best pve experience that i can get from GW2.
Dungeons are not hard at all.Even for pugs.And i do only such runs,because i don’t have dedicated group to do instances with.
Dungeons need a little more balancing but even without it I find them fine as they are.
I don’t agree at all.It is very easy to find a group.Go to the land where the instance is located.Or go to a city.Use the LFP system which is in the game and VOALA you have a group.I talk from personal experience.I almost every day pug groups.I don’t have a guild or a party to do dungeons with so I pug them.And i never had ANY problems to find people.
Saying that is hard to find groups is not right at all.
And i like very much that we don’t have LFG system.
We have LFP which is good enough for me
I would like to have a LFD system because it’s faster to instant find people rather than searching them in chat.
The problem is how to stop people from abusing the grouping tool and ruining the game just like LFG destroyed WoW comunity.It has so many flaws that i can’t even think where to start.
GW2 dungeons are very hard right now.If LFD is implemented like a grouping queue or a finder without restrictions that will ruin the game just like WoW was.
I don’t want this to happen i like GW2 very much
Looking For Dungeon system is needed in GW2.It should be cross server,instant teleporting you inside BUT with big restrictions and penalties.I hate how poorly designed is LFG in WoW.It allows anonymity and that is the worst abuse that has to be removed from LFD tool in GW2 if it is ever putted in the game.
Right now for MMOs exist 2 kinds of systems:Looking for players(LFP) where players have the tools to find group(you do it personally) and Dungeon finder(LFG) which finds people for you when they queue for it.
My opion is that a DF tool is the better one.Any way IF such system is putted here is what i want from it:
1.Leaving dungeon before killing last boss’ll put a debuff on character which won’t let you enter new instance for 2 hours.Such big punishment is needed so you actually think twice next time before even consider leaving the group.I hated in WoW that after 15 mins you were able to leave even if you were only in the middle of the dungeon.The tool was letting you join new queue every 15mins.And that leaded to abuse which I don’t like.
2.Groups can Vote To Kick 5 times.To not let kicking random people for stupid reasons like:noob,not geared,slacker,ninja puller or just 4 friends/guildies kicking people only because they like it.Such things must be stopped.
Every time someone is removed by “ Vote to Kick” tge group gets a penalty debuff reducing money they receive and repair costs are increased.The debuff can stack maximum 5 times.After that removals are not allowed.You are locked for the specific instance for this run.
3.The system is good to kick people that behave badly or talk with foul language or are insulting people.Person who is removed gets 2 hour penalty.
4.Afkers can be kicked by anyone without group being punished for that.Only the afker will receive 2 hour debuff.
5.If you finish the dungeon as a group without anyone being kicked or leaving you will get more money at the end and better chance to drop a better weapon or armor skin.
I don’t like LFG and will tell you why.It may be good at the star for low populated servers and for faster finding groups but in reallity it’s the worst thing ever made.Here is why.Because it groups people from different realms and with it come anonimity which brings the worst in people and removes the need of realm comunity.
In wow before introduction of LFG yes it was hard to do dungeons,because it was not so easy to find a group BUT we had a feeling for comunity back than.Because if people behave badly we would kick them and not group with them ever again.
LFG removes that.Why?Because for instance we have player A from one realm and player B from another.They join LFG and enter the instance.After the dungeon is completed they may never see each other again.
Now that is the worst thing in LFG system.To provide anonymity which can promote people to do what they like,when they like it,how they like it.That is what i hated in WoW and don’t like to see here in GW2.
People start pulling trash then instantly leaving and the group dies.A group of 4 people from same server kicking the random that joins them.
IF lfg ever will be implemented i want to have somekind of punishment for such things or some kind of fix.
A good solution of such system is to be based only per realm.To let you join with people only from your realm and no one else.
Mounts are NOT needed.We have a lot of instant teleporting:Waypoints,Azura gates,Direct port to Heart of the Mists from pvp loby.
So no,no,no and NO from me for mounts
