Guild Wars 2

What’s a thaumanova reactor?

And start replying to some.

All this post merging and deleting could be time they spend replying…. =/

I’m cool buying it with gems and that too, but it should have stayed exclusive and non-gemmed.

I mean what if I can just go to the store and buy Arah armor with pocket change? People that ran the dungeon for it would be pretty mad I bet.

This is still the best mmo imo, but with some shady things going on in it.

I already pledged allegiance to this game years ago back in GW1 days.

But man, people are just blowing up about this when they should be mad about that human t3 armor thing.

Why do people and businesses all over the place delete posts like this? Don’t they realize it just makes people mad?

“Oh no! Like… a bunch of people aren’t satisfied with X. Better delete all traces of it!”

Astral Projections.7320:

Nice.

As soon as they put it in the gem store I’m buying it for my Norn necro.

Hahaha nice.

This is another reason why I don’t feel like working that hard in GW2. I worked hard in GW1. I’ll just gemstore most of the things I want and enjoy the ride.

Sure glad I didn’t work for t-3 human though. Yeeesh.

As a mesmer, I better be looking at equipping a rifle and an axe in the near future. Right? RIGHT? ANET?

Annnnnd they just deleted the thread I was in about this topic.

World War 2 had spies… and everyone adapted.

Kinda

Kitiara.2706:

What happened to them saying they would not change WvW during leagues?!

OMG

Lol good point.

Body blocking was a strategy in GW1 as I recall.

kailin.4905:

All other issues aside with this game aside…does it just seem to be getting more and more screen cluttered? I know I’m getting old but after having recently been in some other mmo betas I came back to gw2 and was amazed at how messy it felt. I don’t feel like I can ever see whats going on in many circumstances due to the akward ui, spell graphics, bad camera, and just overall clutter. I see people on here talking about looking for cast animations and things like that but I don’t reasonably understand how you can see i minute gesture through all the rest of the mess. Then with the terrible optimization it just seems to make the issues all the worse. Can other people really see these things?

Yeah I can’t focus on cast animations and things either through all that crap.

Scarlet is annoying like a kids cartoon villain.

Gabby.3205:

It was the main attraction of a festival. It will come back next year, like every other festival. It is like Wintersday, Halloween or Dragon Bash.

They don’t fix a gaping hole in town for a one week festival! That’s nuts.

Umm check your filters. It’s censoring:

“doesn’t” “it”

AysonCurrax.3254:

if anything, i would find it reasonable to complain about the prices, seeing how they want you to dish out 400 gems for ONE skin while you would get a WHOLE ARMOR SET of skin for 800 gems aswell. overpricing at its best.

That does taste kinda bad, doesn’kitten

Thalador.4218:

Putting certain skins in the gem-store is perfectly understandable.

Putting ALL skins in the gem-store is just disgusting.

You have your dungeon skins…

Just read this post and it is somewhat reassuring. Thanks Bobby.

BobbyStein.2315:

I can empathize with having a busy life and not always being able to fit my gaming schedule in between work, home life, and social commitments. Your comments are not lost on us.

We’re exploring some ideas for the future, including a system that would allow certain bits of Living World content to be accessed independent of the release. Plans and designs have not been solidified yet, so I want to temper your expectations. But if you have any opinions on the matter feel free to let us know. We’re already looking at ways to leave some LW content behind to evolve Tyria and improve the game. This would be one element of it, should we decide to build such a feature.

That’s good to hear.

I hope you’ll pardon my recent Crown Pavilion post, but I was getting really frustrated that I can’t just go back and get more weapon skins.

Some things make sense when they go away, but that one in particular, should be a permanent fixture. I mean they’re not gonna fix a giant hole in the city and add a fancy new district just to close it all up after a week.

I don’t even care so much about the achievements I missed, I just want to go back and do something I found fun, because it’ll be even more fun when I don’t have a timer over my head.

Chrispytoast.3698:

I enjoy playing Guild Wars 2 still but I unfortunately have a job that requires sometimes 50-60 hours a week plus having a wife and a puppy limits the time I have to be playing on the computer.

Living world introduces a large amount of content without requiring an expansion which is great. The only problem I have with it is I have very little time to complete the living world content. After the time gate passes there is no way for me to experience this content.

I would love it if instead of releasing new temporary content that once a month or every other month permanent content came out. It is nerve racking to not be able to enjoy the game the way I want to because when I do get time to play the Living World takes priority because it won’t be there for long.

Many may say well just don’t play the Living World content but with the benefits of playing being so significant (Mining node in home instance) I have to try and get it done before being able to do anything else.

Please add permanent content that also has benefits such as the mining node in the home instance periodically as well.

Thanks

My problems exactly.

All that aside, it was fun fighting in the various settings, with the option for 1v1 NPC fights.

It was a visually pleasing area, and I would like it back sooner than later. The most annoying bit is I KNOW the data is still there, there’s just no access to it from the game at this time.

I’m certainly glad I didn’t waste any money on the paid merchant area, because now it’s basically useless.

I’m pretty annoyed with you Anet.

You made a big deal out of the crown pavilion, complete with a variety of fights, weapon skin vendors and a PAID merchant area.

Then you just take it away like all the the ridiculous grindy content you’ve been handing out. (1000 candy corn to make a cob and 20 cobs for a 20 slot bag? That’s pretty insulting)

I haven’t bothered to do scarlet’s dungeon or whatever because I’m a married adult with a job, and I didn’t have the time.

Apparently you’re going to re open the crown pavilion “at some point”, but that’s not really a good answer. There’s NO REASON it should be gone at all. Scarlet’s dungeon is over. Put the thing back.

Every time I bring it up people are like “why do you want to go THERE?”. Because. I want to. That’s why.

I just want to know what to do next to get the things that I need to get the reward they’re handing out. I could care less about the who and the why.

who bothers to read ANY of this story? I mean really.

ophidic.1279:

I’m tired of weekly updates, if you made it monthly it would be less of a job.

Or at least don’t take things away.

DanteZero.9736:

People are talking left and right about the new encounters, increased health on bosses, etc. What I noticed is that no one is mentioning that we finally have breather masks higher than masterwork quality in the game.

Sure, there’s going to be naysayers who say that underwater combat is crap and therefore not worth being mentioned. Despite their opinions, I’m glad a step has been taken to add more breather masks. I’m tired of having a karma merchant’s breather mask.

omg really?! FINALLY.

JDGumby.7685:

Morrigan.2809:

At this point the only reason why they don’t change it imo is the amount of QQ from people who had to suffer through it in the past- and it is suffering, I can’t think of a single instance where someone said wow that was fun.

No, the whining would be coming from the WvWvWers desperate to have easy targets. Forcing PvE players into PvP gives a steady stream of fodder for the WvWvWers.

lol not really.

Aerlen.5326:

Looking for a Dev to give a valid reason why a PVP area is needed for PVE World Completion and why people with no interest in playing war games have to go into WvW if they want to craft a Legendary for PvE.

I’m frustrated with dealing with the Call of Duty Tea Bagging crowd just to get PvE world completion – can’t WvW world completion be removed or tied to a special WvW reward?

Why do I have to deal with a part of the game which isn’t PvE, which I’m not interested in playing, and which is completely against what PvE stands for to get PvE world completion?

Just wait for the maps to rotate… simple.

Meglobob.8620:

I am kinda looking forward to ‘farming’ those achievement hunters and other noobs with my Thief…does this make me a bad person?

Not really, but yes if you plan on camping any jps or vistas or the like. I hate that so kitten much.

Dealing with enemies is one thing, campers is another!

Palador.2170:

If you haven’t, check out the article on WvW Season 1:
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/welcome-to-world-vs-world-season-1/

When Season 1 starts, there will be more stuff to win in WvW, and it will likely become even more important to some people. By itself, I think that’s great and kind of overdue.

The problem is, there’s still PvE stuff to do in WvW. The jumping puzzle, world completion, gathering (can you find sugar pumpkins anywhere else in the game?), and even a ranger pet that can only be found there. This means that people with no interest in PvP will head in and be running around. Depending on the time of day, they may be displacing people who actually want to get in there and fight to win the WvW rewards.

I’m not sure how much of a difference the PvEers make when they take up player slots in WvW, or if it’s enough to matter. But with the stakes for winning at WvW going up, are we actually okay with this conflict? Is ANet?

If I can’t get in to wvw, tough beans for me. Also if i’m in there farming or doing jps or whatever, tough for everyone else.

Kalgarr.5684:

Only thing removing the trinity ever did was not having to go out of your way to search for a tank or healer.

That and dumbing down the game to a point where its just spam your keys.

If that’s what you do you’re playing wrong.

Ummm learn to recognize other class skills? Learn to counter them? Interrupt big damage skills? Come on, this isn’t THAT difficult.

skullmount.1758:

I’m not sure I would want those wing things showing all the time. Would only like to be able to play them if I could hide/unhide them on command. Would rather be able to play as a Tengu/Skritt/Quaggan-/Kodan (in that order) before I play as one of them.

That’s like saying you will only play charr if you can hide their 4 ears. It’s part of them!

TL;DR

There are guild challenges.

I don’t think that would work and also it’s not really what guild wars is about.

I had a whole inventory full of ears in d2 on an alt. Not doing that again.

Especially if it just says Server X Invader Ear.

Finally, I can sound like I’m talking about sports without talking about sports.

Monkey Fritz.9052:

I didn’t think it was getting to me until I was playing a new game on my ps3 this weekend and started feeling rushed for no reason…. then I realised why as I’ve done nearly every LS this year…

It’s becoming second nature that I have to finish as many achievements as I can before the time runs out….

Yeah that rushed feeling is getting me kinda of mad, especially since I have a job and a kid and I can’t even keep up with the garbage they give us. I didn’t get to fight canach or any other LS dungeons, I didn’t even get to TRY scarlet’s funhouse.

Yeah yeah, I know too bad, right? Well it’s still garbage. I don’t even care about the story. I DON’T HAVE TIME for the story. I look at a guide and grind it out. who cares about the story part? Story doesn’t get you loot.

That’s kinda crappy too, because the story in gw1 was fun, but now I just want to get things done as much as I can.

Like… what was that election thing even about? Who knows, but it’s gone now, and I’m left with a bunch of junk I can’t use. Do I save it? WHO KNOWS.

stof.9341:

This goes beyond “convenience item”. This is pure P2W.

Yes, pay to win at a mini game side quest. LOL

Radio Isotope.3045:

Its official! Guild Wars 2 is officially pay to win. Infinite coin and tribulation mode makes it so. Sorry if you don’t see it that way but I do. Even world 2 zone 2 on infantile mode is way too hard for majority of people “who end up running out of continue coins (pay for this kitten kitten Infinite Continue Coin to keep playing)”. I speak for my guild and the things they have brought to my attention. I love SAB and have Distinction in Applied Jumping. But World 2 zone 2 seems a bit too long and too hard for most people and not enough baubles to make it worth the effort. When we can just farm World 1 easy peasy and get several bubbles in just one run….

It’s not pay to win. You are wrong.

Hrithmus.2583:

ophidic.1279:

I love everyone threatening to quit like anyone cares.

There’s enough people that are totally satisfied with the game to negate all this.

I really, really doubt that.

I doubt your doubt. Regardless, threatening to quit on a game forum is like yelling out in a bar that you’re sick of how girls operate and you’re going to quit dating.

<yawn>

Can we get back to arguing over the quote that the OP posted, please?

I agree, thank you

Mike Obrien says they don’t make grindy games. Discuss how GW2 is not grindy.

There are no grinds in GW2, and, unlike many who make this claim, I have verifiable proof!

I queried coffee on the GW2 wiki and this was the result: “There were no results matching the query.”

Source:

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=coffee

So, clearly there is no coffee in GW2. Therefore, there are no grinds in GW2.

You get a…3/10 . You did make me laugh.
Eh, 4/10. You made the effort to do the google.

Loving the joke review, joke made me lol too.

People … it’s time to say farewell to Guild Wars 2. Tag me if you know another good f2p mmorpg to play instead (i’m 100% serious, can’t keep up with this grinding crap forever).

And you’re going to find a free to play MMO with less grinding?

That’s pretty funny. Good luck with that.

GW1?

Not an MMO. Try harder.

GW2 has the least grind of all commercial AAA MMOs I’ve played. As for GW1, let’s not forget the amount of money or time it took to fill the HoM, let alone max Luxon. But it was all well spent.

How is it not an mmo? It’s massively multiplayer, online, AND an RPG. What am I missing here?

Since GW2 launch, arenanet themselves dismissed the notion that GW1 was an MMO.

Tough beans, Anet. You can put lipstick on a pig, yada yada yada

DarksunG.9537:

I think you have misinterpreted what made SAB fun. It’s not the hair ripping “OG hard-coreness” it was cute fun puzzles with occasional tough jumping at a pace you can enjoy.

Well I don’t expect anyone to read this whole thread at this point so I won’t fault you for not having read the 20 times I’ve said I didn’t intend Normal Mode to be as hard as it appears to be to average players.

As to the pacing issue. What made you feel rushed? Is it the length of the levels? Or do you just mean specific timed puzzles like the rolling gong?

Sometimes for me what stresses me out is not REALLY being sure of where to go next.

I might see 2-3 what may be viable options… but since I just went through god knows what to get where I currently am, I’m not going anywhere with confidence until I consult a video, and while videos are super cool and useful, i’m sure you guys don’t intend to have people need to consult videos quite as often as I need to to learn a path.

I mean there’s always good old trial and error, but that’s REALLY frustrating, lol. Maybe it’s just me, but who knows. Probably not.

Cliff.8679:

Josh, you’re on a roll with all of these responses to us players. Thanks for taking the time to talk to everyone, it’s pretty clear how much you care about our experience with your content.

that’s another thing I do appreciate regardless of whatever I think of SAB and JPs.
