And when will they start working again to fix the broken Winter Wonderland?
Would totaly suck if they start fixing the Winter Wonderland after the Event is over.
This year indeed it seems entering the JP is more difficult..
Content’s gotta be challenging one way or another right? :PAnyway.. when you keep interacting with the NPC near the portal instead of actually using the portal you have more chance to succeed
Well it obviously still dont work very well. Some of my friends are spending more time starring at that loading screen than spending time with their families/friends.
What are people using these days? Is it still the old stuff from release or are there some in HoT which are better than the old ones?
Same here, not even half a day after release the maps were kinda dead.
This mastery system is a pure kittenblock. Ive grinded for over 5h now and only unlocked the 2. Tier of gliding. I dont even have the mushroom jumping masteries now. Aside from the pretty map this AddOn has been pure disapointment until now.
Party chat, invites, leaving parties, changing world to friend’s world, etc is also bugging like crazy. All of us have tried re-logging but it hasn’t made a blind bit of difference. It’s definitely Arena Net managing the game and not EA Games right? :P
Have the same problems. And its Anet managing the game but they have become very similar to EA. So expect more crashes, bugs and a medium to big disaster when HoT comes out. Probably everyone loses their money without compensation and half of your characters get deleted permanently.
You are the leader now, just kick them. They left and decided to give you the leftovers of the guild. Now the expansion is coming and they want to take away your hard work without any compensation. Also with friends like these you dont need any enemies.
But you should give your guild members a choice: Either leave with the former leaders to form a new guild or stay with you in the old guild.
Same here, logged into 3 different characters and now Im afraid to get banned for this. Would like to know if hardcore exploiters will be punished along with those who accidently opened more than just 1 chest.
Hm, will there be new rewards or do we still get the old ones only?
So with the upcoming expansion, will there be a halloween event this year? And if yes will there be a candy corn cob vendor again? Still got some of them from last year.
Pff phone numbers, you really think they will listen to your concerns?
boring like silver waste
But at least you get properly rewarded in SW with champ bags/gold, exp and karma. Here you get jackkitten and even have to pay your kitten off for the waypoint costs.
We will probably get it 4 weeks after the event and when the NPC is long gone…
Lets hope they use their new opportunties to create something good and that NCSoft dont cut their budget.
I join a map 5 min before he spawns and it still succeds almost every time. Its not that he is too easy. People just got used to him.
Remember when they first introduced him? Even organized groups would rarely get him lower than 40%.
But if they are going to make him harder (they recently buffed the worldbosses) then the reward should be better too. And Im not talking about more kitten spoons.
Droprate of precursors have been raised “significantly” and in return all precursors are accountbound now.
I explain the problem many of us have with F2P here
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/IGN-Tweet-Core-Game-F2P-what-does-this-mean-unconfirmed/5427635We aren’t haters. We love the game and we’ve seen how much damage F2P can wreak on a game and its community. I am encouraged by the restrictions placed on the free accounts, but my points still stand.
I’m a long time player, and FTP is amazing for this game, this game is about player numbers and community, now maps should be more filled.
Yeah with bots. They will rush to lvl 80 and then take part at silverwaste or champtrain farm.
bots will be banned
yeah, because it already worked so fine until now…..
In the past Anet was really slow in banning bots, some of them were running around for months and they didnt do anything about it.
Earlier when the game wasnt F2P, botters would have to use stolen accounts or accounts bought with stolen credit cards to farm. There was some effort for them to create bot accounts. Now all they have to do fill out the registration formular.
I would be already happy if they would let us build our own guild airships.

as a free to play account
- you cant enter starterzones aynmore after lvl 10
Correction, you can’t exit starter zones until you are level 10.
Starter maps only until character reaches level 10
Lion’s Arch unlocked for each character at level 35
And with this we will have a kittenload of bots running around in the silverwastes or the champtrains.
Who was this genius to allow trial account characters reach lvl 80?
Just no, imagine all those farmbots sending back golden and exotic items so they can be salvaged or sold.
Welcome new players to the more or less awesome game of Guild Wars 2. Pls dont mind the screaming veterans, just ignore them as the devs and the company do. Also dont mind those guys who look completely random with names like adofnn or ahsdgs. They will accompany you for your enitre game experience, chasing you like some creepy ghost and whispering dirty things in your ears.
I hope not. Else this would be really unfair to those who actually did the event to gain these cores and to those people who invested into this time limited item.
Will that new box with memories of Scarlet contain them? Or is it just another RNG based item?
1 more day to go yet, still 1,094 of 1,095 days
Actually, no. The early access started at 11 PM (my time) on the 24th and at 9PM on the 24th on ANet’s time. So it’s today, 9 more hours.
So what’s the birthday gifts?
Somebody said its going to be a special pvp finisher.
And probably another Jennah Mini..
Welcome to the dying world of Tyria where not only dragons and several powerful maniacs are threatening the world but also a provider company with a kitten poor marketing strategy.
But until then enjoy your stay and dont mind the bugs which exist since release. Or the toxic PvP community which are worse than CoD and LoL together.
Seriously prepare a parachute to bail out, cause this game is going down for good if the Expansion sucks.
Wait does it mean that the items that could be received at the LS1 become available again in the future? (Stuff like assualt knight cores)
I would wish for a option to report players for griefing. Today we had a community event on Riverside and 2 idiots thought it would be funny to ruin it. Until now this isnt even banable. I mean we had weeks of planning and just wanted a good time but these 2 guys ruined it and even when we asked them friendly to leave the continued to do so.
Wont happen, too much effort for them to build in a option to turn it off. I also despise the NPE, you are basically dumbing down the areas for more advanced players.
This years halloween is just the warmed up leftovers from last year, thats why there isnt a subforum. Also its only for 2 weeks, not long enough to legitimate a subforum in the eyes of Anet.
Note: They’re adding the custom slider back to the new gemstore.
They said they will add it soon. And soon means in Anet language maybe in about 1 year.
A lot of GW1 devs left during the latter development of GW2, like Kekai Kotaki. And in the past year, Anet’s lost a lot of devs (or let go), such as Jason King.
I haven’t heard from John Stumme in ages. Is he still working with ArenaNet?
But nowadays, though I have absolutely zero proof, it feels like the only devs that stick around are the leads and those that people show disdain for oddly enough – the rest come and go as their contracts are up.
That devs are coming and leaving would explain the inconsitency of the quality of the updates.
Mostly negative changes, like the dumb downed starter areas, trait system, more laggs and stuff like that. Turn around while you can, this game is doomed.
The last LS updates also sounded promising before they go released. And you know how it played out.
Anet does listen to us. Thats why they look so bored in the air while keep nodding and saying: “Mhhh interesting” over and over again.
1 year from now on the world of Tyria will be empty. 2 new small areas, several costumes and weapons skins. Where other games would ascend and give their playerbase real content and expansions Anet simply will give us the same crap over and over again.
Seems like Anet is going to kill this game series…
We will milk the cow even if she is long dead!!!!
NA/EU economy is 1 system. Thats why we only have 1k skins for both regions together.
SNAFU or the failing operation of GW2
There was once a patient (GW2 and its community) who had to do a little routine operation at his apendix.
When he woke up he noticed that his fouling apendix was still inside him. Instead the doctor (Anet) implated him a 3. arm.
P: “Doc why the hell did you implated me a 3. arm? All I needed was to get rid of my fouling apendix?”
D: "Well we thought it was more necessary to give you a 3. arm instead of cutting out the rotting part which could potentially kill you. But now you have a 3 arms instead of just 2 even tough you can only use the third one to scratch your back. "
P: “Hm ok but can you now pls cut out the apendix?”
D: “Sure just give us a little bit more time”
The doc gives the patient a needle with sedatives. When the patient wakes up again he is shocked.
P: "By the six!!!! Why the hell did you removed both of my legs?
D: “It was obvious that you had problem with walking so we cut off both legs. For this you will a fancy but costly wheelchair and a robot who will pull you with a leash around so you never get lost”
P: "Crap!!!! Im dying because of my apendix!!! Just kittening remove it finally and stop trying to fix things of my body which works perfectly fine!!!!
D: “Just calm down we got this”
With that words the doc gave him another dose. When the patient woke up again the horror continued.
P: "You sick son of a Skritt!!! Why did you replace my right eye with that glasseye? And wait, where are the fingers of my 3 arms?
D: “With that glasseye you look much better than before. And since you clearly had problems with walking you also probably had problems with using your hands. Thats why we removed the fingers. And about your fouling apendix, we put a strong sedative in it so you wont feel the pain.”
P: “But its still in me and its killing me!! Why didnt you remove it???”
D: “You know, we were already starting to cut it out but then the lunch break came. After break I was too sleepy from the Quaggan I ate, thats why i just put a sedative in it. By the way that wheelchair needs some expensive batteries which can be only charged in 400 packs, each got enough energy for 1 minute. Oh and did I tell you that your health insurance wont pay for these operations anymore? We were friendly enough to pillage your bank account so you dont have to exhaust yourself with those complicated numbers”
P: “Please just stop it…….”
D: “Nonono what we are doing will make you better than before. We have the knowledge and the ideas. You dont understand anything of this. Thats why we ignore your protests and looking interested when you try to explain yours. And now dont move the next surgery is coming”
P: “Somebody just finish me off already!!!!!!”
i know i know this might be the worst idea ever, but what if instead of changing core features like the gem convertor to bring new players to the game, Anet could Release a kitten Expansion, to bring players that dont log in since 2013 to the game!?
I know this is probably a bad idea but hey, trying never hurt.
Too much effort for not enough profit in the eyes of Anet. You also dont seriously believe that this game will survive until an expansion kicks in?
Happy Bday, we wish you the best.
Anet gave you the new Gemshop system so you can waste your money which you got from your friends and family on gems^^
Or a round with no enemies. This whole patch is an unbelievable mess.
Probably nobody lol. Anet didnt go full kitten on gw1. Feels like im playing an EA game at this point
Even EA games are working better after 2 years after release.
Well we know where anet is NOT allocating resource – sPvP and WvW teams..
the sPvP, I’m almost certain has less than 5 ppl working on it. By far one of the biggest a lot of ppl play MMORPGs – for good PvP. And it continues to just be thrown aside by anet. It’s sad to see that GW1 had more diversity in its PvP content at release than freaking GW2 has put out in 2+ years… disappointing is an understatement.
We have data mined maps and the teams themselves talking about working on multiple maps that are not conquest based. I think we’ll have a big pvp release before the next tournament. There will also be GvG CDI.
Just because something got datamined doesnt mean it will find its way into the game.
That whole “communicate with you” program of Anet is probably a distraction for the players so they can buy themselfs more time to drain the last money of us players. Now that the chinese version of GW2 is failing hard they need that cash urgently.
Meanwhile they simply delete all too harsh criticism from the forums, trying to create the illusion that everything is fine so everyone keeps buying gems.
They wont see a single cent from me now after this patch.
There needs be a bearded dude screaming “abandon hope all ye who enter” round these parts.
Or at least a warning sign “no fun allowed in this game”
And knowing how Anet handles criticism this thread wont survive long.
Hm nobody have a clue?
Run while you can, this game is doomed. With every patch they break the game a little bit more and turn this into a unenjoyable mess.
