Guild Wars 2

alright i admit i like being able to not have to grind. it has numerous advantages not the least of which it saves time and repetition. however i cant play many areas of the game. why? because no one else is ever there and i end up getting ripped apart by mobs no solo player can handle. the most recent event being the dredges , and how 3 pop up halfway through the fight with the first two and are immeadiatly aggroed.

now i can either form a party, which totally defeats spontinaity of DE, and because of the games mechanics is less rewarding than well thought out trinity teams (but it is also much less frustrating that poorly put together teams). these 40-65 level areas are vacant. now there are two fairly simple solutions that dont involve adding more rewards thus upsetting the economy. 1 bring back the grind. so that levels actually matter. time wasting , repetition you name it. on that points defense i find myself not exploring anyway because i cant solo and have to go where the groups are anyway so it does get repetitious anyway. or a second one with less impact all around and less planning needed. leat me be 6-7 levels higher with the adjusted levels if i already have met those requirments. this way i can explore all the areas i dont now. because i wont need anyone else. downsides to this are farming these areas will be much easier and hi mid level items will become more common and thus go down in value… but it wont effect end game items at all. which is what most want anyway.

just let me play your game anet. i want to play it. your community wont let me so im asking you. and if it so happens 2 explorers meet in such an area just adjust their levels accordingly. so that its easier with them there but the individual is less powerful.

lol okay thanks kerithlan i wansnt sure. but why wouldnt it be on a anet site or guild wars?

i have a program i cannot get rid of. my computer is severly comprimised and i cannot fix it. there is a protected partition with important system files that its beyond me how to even get into it. ive use diskpart and know it fairly well as well as the disk part codes given to certain partitions. gparted nothing. i dont have a programming background so unless you know of a partitioning thing that will format even system protected partitions then dont worry about it there.

to the point. im just wondering if anyone else has this running or is it one of the hackers little programs?

look guy whining about the banning. youve said theyre unbanning people. so fine just wait. 2 this isnt a democratic system the contract you agreed to pretty much allows anet to sue you if you even play the game. read it if you dont believe me. so they can and will bann whoever they want. and 3 if you are innocent your account will be unbanned and youll have missed very little.

however i suspect anet doesnt bann without reason esspecially not lots of people. otherwise they would have made a post apologizing to the “thousands” of “innocents” thats youre representing. and they havent and they wont. they arent going to tell you how they caught you. they arent that stupid. but i trust them and their decision. please. just stop whining and botting. try playing the game normally its actually pretty fun. and if you make a few friends on here. you wont need to hack or bot.

and if you dont want to do that or cant then get lost the community doesnt need or want cheaters. before you start defending your innocence again tell me what possibly could have caused them to bann your account and not mine?

lol dude…. its insane anyone would nit pic this. im sorry the game isnt perfect. it isnt an alternative reality and the amount of detail your looking for would set the game back into development another 4 years with possibly even a new engine.

i wish there was no clipping either but you need a serious reality check if you expect them to make it perfect. i think theyve done an excellent job. wish there wasnt clipping but the amount is low enough i and most people could overlook it in favour of other more practical content.

you know these anti bot banning things have never effected me in any game ive ever played? maybe im just really lucky. or maybe i just never use bots. probably because i never use bots.

first off they arent called group events. theyre called dynamic events. and yes their design is flawed. the way anet intended them was for them to attract players when notified about them. sometimes they do and sometimes they dont. and in dead maps they always dont and may as well not be in the game.

all im asking is if i want to do a dynamic event on a dead map…. that i be able to play that content on the fly like theyre intended. and not form a raiding party. like anet intended. because i know few other people will. i dont like seeing a boss and running by them… when i see those orange symbols on my minimap for whatever event my heart should flutter with excitmentk, but instead i usually end up just seeing how far ill have to walk around to avoid it. this isnt fun and its not what they wanted . accept it. they arent working the way they wanted to and either the players have to change from farming to exploring (which they wont and everyone knows it) or the events themselves have to change, which they can and should. stop arguing that everything is fine with them because its not. otherwise every event i went to would be a kittenen party… and it isnt. time to face reality and stop arguing against me and try to think of some solutions. because im right and even anet would agree.

i have a entire bank slot occupied soly with half cooked food. i think an extra row in each bank slot woulod be warrented. or failing that more craftable slots. if i have a boot upper i want it in my craftables where its easily organized. not making a mess of my bank. which it does. the bank should only be for consumables. armor and weapons. black lion chests and keys, holiday items and town clothes.

for the trolls the obvious answer is “they werent designed that way” “youre not meant to over power everything” “you cant do a GROUP event solo” . okay so wheres my group dynamic events are meant to attract players is it really my fault no one else is around? should i be forced to form a raiding party before going anywhere just to do dynamic events? if theyre going to do that then why not just bring back the trinity so it feels more co ordinated. which would be more fun than just trying to get 5 people.

now dont get me wrong i like dynamic events but think the execution and possibly even the theory is flawed. but i have a solution. just make events possible solo. ive fought bosses that take less than a second to knock me down and kill me. regenerate health faster than i can kill them. ect ect. i cant do it alone but its in the definition of being dynamic(in that they just happen and so should groups) that i shouldnt have to find a group. you dont have to make them so quickly complete that a solo player breezes through them before anyone else can join. but please lower hp attack condition damage amount of items needed(i think they do this already anyway). keep them active and let other players see that meter for the bosses health or the items collected (which should slowly rise not immeadiatly spike just so people know someone is actively doing the event) like a beacon for other players. if this doesnt work its still a step in a direction guild wars needs to go. i cant play a lot of your content because not many seem to be up for “lfg to run some dynamic events in such and such map”. if they dont want to join fine ill do it myself. make it difficult or tedious in terms of hp. but im sure others will join if they see activity that isnt hopeless. then crank up the difficulty only enough so that i dont dread seeing another player.

lions arch is a gathering area because its free.

lol why the hell dont you people make your characters the gender you want from the start? i mean theres only 2 choices to make. so deal with it. haircut armor colors sure lots of choices…. but how and why would you make a male or female character only to decide 40 hors later…. nah id rather be a chick. i cant believe they accomodated this in the first one, and that people still ask for it boggles my mind.

bo staff, whip, hoolahoop weapon, needle fencing sword, boomerang, nun chucks, halibear, throwing spear. fist weapons, book, focus orb,crossbow. cybernetic arms/legs.
katana

tengu, centuar, some sorta dragon race, dwarves,

please anet give necromancers more sinister shambling summons. they feel too cartoony right now,

elementalists badly need a better elite.

engineers need cybernetic arms laser eyes whatever make them into terminators with muskets

tengu need seem best fitted for a samuri class./ninja class centuars more a druid / witch doctore type that centers around earth golems or something.

wont happen. just give them a gem gift card from an eb games.

the title might be a tad misleading… as i actually want worn looking armors and clothes with tears in them that look like they wont offer much protection. i also want ineffective looking weapons

also please make a bo staff (non magical martial weapon),claws, whips,the hoola hoop weapons, a cross (or holy focus weapon), a wizards book,and the poking dueling swords that are needle like in appearance.

dont mistake crummy looking armor for plain. i dont want plain armor. i want armor a hedge knight wouldnt wear think a cooking pot helm and patched armor). and clothes so torn and stained youd fit right in with the risen. why? because id like to destory an evil dark knight in glorious abyss black armor with a character that looks like they armed them self at a dump. maybe add a few flies to the armor effects. or swords that are made of wood and resemble a cheap crusifix than a weapon. or bent swords lol. by all means make kitten looking gear i like them too…. but i also like things that look unthreatening and harmless.

thanks sorry didnt know how did you?

i know you can make screen shots already but it has the hud elements on it and i dont like that. with the exception of veiwpoints . anet i like the way your game looks almost as much as you do. and id like to see my champion with the game hud when i take a screen shot on tome of a jumping puzzle or overlooking an ominous tower. just a thought.

first off i love the idea of your jumping puzzles and agree they should be challenging. however i also think the reward should match the difficulty. i recently played one in the asuran starting area with windy vines. one area of the vines had wind pushing backwards on the path that was very glitchy. then after getting to an asura gate at the end of this puzzle i was rewarded with "error gate improperly aligned wtf?

if this was a joke or deliberate design its in poor taste.

also why arent jumping puzzles listed on the map? id like to find all of them. keep them seperate from map completion by all means. but let us that want to find and do them know. also a completed feature for them would be nice. to keep 100% fanaitcs from complaining about how jumping puzzles are too hard and they dont like them showing up on the map as incomplete even though you dont need them either disable a completed/incomplete feature for them or make it a toggleble map option that you have to dig for in options to turn on as it is off by default.

just a thought. could give free bunny ears for completing them all maybe?

i like the idea of one time events. it makes the world seem more real. i might not be in it but life goes on. so long as i can figure out what the hell happened i dont mind and preferr this. be there or miss out. but repetitive events are far less special, less enjoyable and er…. repetitive.

just give your characters a first and last name and make the last name the same accross all. i sympathize with the op ive become attached to the name “lyfe” its my clan and all my characters last name.

im sick and tired of walking into a group of monsters and living for more than two seconds . and then aggroing everything in 2 miles. i esspecially hate it because when i die i find the closest way point is mercifully unavailible but the furthest is still availible. i think that dying in orr should delete your account and destroy your computer. i also dont think enough monsters are frenzied and unstoppable. i find that sometimes skills actually have working effects on monsters like theyre supposed too and it takes away a lot of the fleeing one group into a swarm of others mechanic.

i hope that players are only encouraged to explore farmed areas until they are memorized and then other areas can be saftly deleted from the game without anyone knowing. i would like this because exploring on your own because no one else is ever around should be discouraged with difficult mobs and impossible group events that punish such rouge behavior. i think bot swarms should be given special acheivments for their constant play activity breathing life into otherwise dead maps.

oh and also dodging out of a resource node or downed state should never be in the direction the camera is facing and always be like a guessing game.

sounds overly technical. id rather they just gave three bars of endurance than some complex parry standing whatever formula. thats just a personal preference.

op all you need to do is make a norn ele with white hair…. youll get the look you want and you can even make a fairly heavy set one. eles are damage caster. adding a wizard while it might be nice to have more options… it always is. gw is set on making unique gaming experiences not clone classes. though in a perfect world id like to see them and 20 other classes as well.

hey im a big fan of gw 1 & 2 and want to be a voice actor for the male tengue of any role. i have no experience with such things but i think id enjoy it and learn quickly.

failing that maybe hold a contest where a mock scene is acted out between a male and female character and people send in voice clips or something. just a thought. i mean an in game contest type thing.

alright its fairly obvious but theres one glaring difference between guild wars 1 and guild wars 2.

gw 1 wasnt perfectly balanced but it almost was.

anyway guild wars 2 has npc monsters that you simply cant counter with every class. theres knockdowns you cant stop granted theres blind and block but those arent spammable for every class. these same npcs sometimes have frenzy and are immune to control effects like fear and stun…. wtf?! is that really balanced? how do you beat that thing other than to go toe to toe with it? or kite. in which case skill selection doesnt matter. give us more choices and more counters for every class.

also when im stunned feared ect… not every class can counter that either. wtf where is the skill in that? seems to me more like a “just ride these things out” strategy. give more conditions if you must so that a player has to choose their counters and offensive effects carfully. but dont just make things unavoidable its annoying and isnt fun. you should release a patch with 10 more types of weapons per class even though some would be interchangable obviously. or… you could make the selected skills more powerful providing counters to knockdown blind ect until the class can cope with every situation.
and keep in mind these would have to be counters that when coupled with evade would be permanent counters. not just “cant be knocked down for 4 seconds 30 second cooldown” well great so i dodge twice then im at the mercy of a kd spamming npc or npc’s yes plural. then get smacked around the map because my only counter is to run… but oh right they run faster because combat run has be kittenen nerfed. figure your game out. that isnt fun if it cant be countered. if it could then its my fault. but it cant. and also make a weapon slot for every available weapon if i am expected to use every single weapon for given situations. think about it.

i cant believe this is even a debate….

anet wont fall for this. keep on dreaming about a way to sell via mail.

why not call it disease and make it seperate but linked to poision with only a stackable duration i could settle for that. it should also spread.

i dont see many necros are overpowered forums… but i think death shroud could be spiced up a little. as it stands its azz specially underwater.

edit: i imagined death shroud as me summoning a bunch of minions and becomming something other classes need to run away from. either nerf and make death shroud more rewarding to use…. (bad idea limits skill uses then waiting to get into death shroud) or make death shroud hard to accumulate and a lichform equivilant in power but, and i do mean much harder. it would basically be a second elite. so it should experience the same kinda setbacks as race specific skills.

sylvari necromancer…. i like that in death i can ressurect my enemies but if i die they cant… plus necromancers rule.

man i say that thing to everyone i meet as a greeting. if your wife doesnt want to be harrassed then she shouldnt advertise her gender. all she needs to do is say shes jim and shes gay. thatll be the end of it. lots of men play female characters for some bizarr reason.

this doesnt mean i condone what was done. and id vote not guilty if you killed them both in real life and i was on the jury…. however its online and its the internet … you cant win this one.

by all means keep the filter on by default but please for the adults let us turn it off as its absurd. try typing the word soles and boots next to one another. i couldnt figure out why it turned to kitten… but i guess lets bow ie female attracted to other females is censored even if the two words arent even expressing that. lol seriously guys its funny when this happens but id rather see the passion in others writings and less kitten’s.

i think they should just make a collosieum area of the map where the game has quests hearts and pking. or a pk server. dont get me wrong . i hate pking. i dont do it and dont like having it done to me…. but i do like running away=D. and questing with an element of danger is more fun … for a little while anyway.

i think a ritualist could summon spirits that follow it around like a necro (think zelda fairy for animation . and then are sacraficed to use the skills. there could be three types a war a restor and thunder spirit. they wouldnt do much on thier own besides giving a passive benifit like gaurdian boons. and when used you lose the boon and have to resummon or let it recharge. again im not saying this is how i would do it 100% certain im just saying there are ideas.

it would be very annoying having a battle draw out because some guy tanked himself out with life and healing stats. maybe a small boost to healing stats. but damage is more fun anyway.

what kinda lock breaks the key anyway? i think they should be more akin to lock picks in that they have a chance to break not always used up somehow.

dont do that. i like getting ruined ore ,lumber, and plants. if you dont want to take the chance use orcihalium or whatever it is.

im against not adding new classes. i enjoy every class and each feels and plays differently. just because on your own you cant imagine a way to make a druid, ritualist work doesnt mean that anets team cant. i would want them to make as many classes as they possibly could. with as many races as they possibly could. a bigger game might spread everyone out. but it might also attract a lot of players that can play “1 of 20 unique classes” of " 13 different races" of “many, many unique (subtly) storylines” . you seem more worried about spreading out the community too thin than being against new races and professions.

make more more more anet.

would be too annoying to me. make it an option to toggle if its implemented but i can see how some might want it.

yeah this seems excessive and doesnt seem overly useful as i dont find many spamable boons that can always be up.

i hope the prices get higher for a lot of things. keeps the grinders grinding and selling items i need cheaply.

if they introduce this there needs to be a way to attack and kill everyone at the wedding and sow salt in the ground so nothing grows on the land ever again.

nah just mail them the money but this is a phenominal idea. i say buy as many tickets as you want for 50 gems each, prize money always 20g (make it more like a raffel ie always a winner) and there you go.

seriously anet this is a fantastic way to make money unless this is a grey area with gambling but i would definetly sign on for this. maybe the prize money could reflect the interest as well. if no ones buying the tickets except 1 guy then 20 g is a bit unfair….. but if everyones buying them then make it like 100 g. or unique skins or anything.

i like the idea of diving weapons. would explain why weapons are unbreakable. but id rather it was glowing skins with a tiny almost negligible stat increase.

and fyi half prepped items sokitten ots and cooking ingredients arent rare.

im not sure what the swear is there….

nels why are you even arguing agains tthis other than to troll? do you really think that having slos in the bank for all crafting materials is a bad idea? something the game would be worse off for having? why dont you explain yourself why would it be a bad thing to have that? it would be a huge convenience and nothing else. i really want to know.

i think it would get boring. least on halloween its an event and not just the same ol.

i agree even though ive bought lots of extra bank slots i have a lot of extra food items crafted that are craftables taking up extra space. sure i could just build the ones i need but my memory isnt the greatest and its all about convinience. by all means charge for the super crafting slot. but make it include everything. every craftable chef item ect. if you havent found it leave it as a ? but give us the slots. i have more inventory space than i need by far. but its cluttered and i want to store neat items there not food thats been aging in there since launch.

im thinking free dances unless theyre going to go custom dance for each race class gender combination…. then selling them as class dance packs m/f thats more reasonable.

i agree my camera my veiw ifin ya please.

me and i liked the last post as well.
