link to a page that shows where the fifty are. it took me the longest getting the dailies then it did anything else

actually i like them the new way its inspired me to play a bit more. then old way was boring now i got to check them out and figure whats the best way for me to do them. ive visited areas i hadnt hit in a time actually got me more into the game since they came

Thanks for the Monthly

i wouldnt mind if they changed the monthly to be more like the daily where you choose what you want to do with more options to do. im glad there isnt any fractals or dungeon requirements but wouldnt mind if they added those if we can pick and choose

I enjoy the dailies

ricky markham.8173

i can personally say the dailies have me playing a bit more. for a while i just jumped on one char and did the daily but with the different choices i tend to use two different chars to finish them takes me a bit longer but not that much of a hassle. i now do dailies while im trying to finish an area on my alts

Current Topic Poll: Mid-Jan. 2013

The Dirty Dozen:
1) Would you prefer ascended gear to be the last tier implemented for the remainder of GW2?

yes most definately. i dont like changing goals.

2) Would you prefer ascended gear to be equal to exotic gear in all statistics except agony resistance?

yes
i can live with it being different but dont like idea of level raising then gear raising

3) Would you prefer the level cap to remain at 80 for the remainder of GW2?

strongest yes point

4) Would you prefer if WvW was set up on an equal playing field similar to PvP?

not sure but i think my answer is yes

5) Would you prefer if WvW / PvP / PvE had separate skill functionalities?

id like them to stay the same. i think overall balance and no difference when you go from one to another

6) Would you prefer if Magic Find was removed from the game completely?

idk. i havent made up my mind on it yet

7) Would you prefer if Magic Find was divided equally amongst all party members?

no if someone invests in magic find it should be theirs all the advantage they get. magic find is a choice like higher health gear

8) Is GW2 too ‘Grindy?’

yes its too hard to make any profit in the bank. this is something they had in gw1 til factions came out

9) Does GW2 need less RNG?

im ok with rng it doesnt always favor me but its ok

10) Has the Trading Post [and all its users/farmers] positively impacted the economy?

positive impacted id say no needs a few tweeks i think but i prefer the ability of it to be across all servers

11) Do you have as much faith [and/or enthusiasm] about the game [and/or company] as you did before launch?

less faith/ less enthusiasm but i say that about every game that i consider a not top tier game. its a good game and i still play just dont have the love for it like other games. just to state i never loved this game greatly its always been a good game. i lose interest in good games about 3 to 4 months in

12) Do you reasonably expect [many of] your primary concerns to be addressed in early 2013?

primary concerns no but a few minor ones yes. i see they want their game to be great but it never was in my book. i personally think they released game too early and the minor concerns i have should have been in game already but they rushed it. im not sure i have primary concerns about the game

New race with Jan/Feb content?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ricky markham.8173

ricky markham.8173

  • 3 new zones.
  • 2 new s/t pvp maps.
  • over 50 new dynamic events added to old zones.
  • Pve and Pvp class balance and refinement, for all classes to bring in line with current design ideas for what the classes are intended to feel like and be like.
  • 2 new Ascended items added, Amulet and accessory.
  • 5 more legendary items added.
  • 12 new Mini pets to be found and rewarded for achievements.
  • Mini games to be polished.
  • Dungeon system improvement to better allow players access.
  • Nine new fractal of the mist fractals.

This is what I believe we will see, sounds like a fair bit, and about right for an expansion, if not more. However I do not think we will see a new race or class yet they are still struggling to get the current game under wraps with the current classes. Does not remove the possibility however.

this alone with would be awesome and possible but more then i think we will get as for new race or profession they should wait for exspansions

The halloween was pretty much a human event. This one is asura. I hope we get an event with Charr as the focal point.

i love to see bug fixs more than i like seeing other content. so im thinking it was a great update. i’m always afraid that if they release too much stuff and not fix whats needed they put bugs on bugs. you know what that leads too super bugs. id love to see content come every two months with a hugs bug fix in the month between

What good is a patch full of bug fixes if it implents the same number of new bugs than it previously “fixed”?…

so you’d rather they not fix bug at all

i love to see bug fixs more than i like seeing other content. so im thinking it was a great update. i’m always afraid that if they release too much stuff and not fix whats needed they put bugs on bugs. you know what that leads too super bugs. id love to see content come every two months with a hugs bug fix in the month between

But they didn’t actually fix things. They broke jumping, mesmers (again), elementalist (again), dungeon fixes apparently still don’t work.

I’d love to see bugfixes too, but at this point I think the best bugfix is to hire new QA staff.

so firing people is your answer i say maybe they should have fixed the bugs before they implemented new material maybe if they would have fixed the bugs first we wouldnt see the compounding of new bugs. i see games do this all the time added new content upon buggy material only to make games unplayable. i see gw2 doing this already.

i like the game a lot dont know if it is my favorite game or not yet. what i love about the game is how the hearts are used to allow one to the quest their way maybe collecting or just killing bears instead of just kill 10 bears.there are flaws(as in many bugs) in the game but i see potential if they handle it correctly. i personally think they are adding content too quickly which compounds bugs i’ve seen this in other games they put out new content over new content until the bugs compound so the game becomes unplayable. id love to see some improvements in guild wars 2 and it is visually one of the best games i’ve seen. im going to go more with wait and see good games become great over time and this is a good game thats has potential to be great. i have sen good games go bad so its more wait and see for me

Formal statement from ANet?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ricky markham.8173

ricky markham.8173

i agree with you op i think a statement is needed. i was a bit upset at first but im calmed down thinking i wish they would have been more forthcoming. to me it might have made a big difference in my initial feelings and my future purchases. i dont think ill quit guild wars 2 i got a decent amount of good things out of it dont feel i need any refund and wont ask for one but as for future purchases i may take my money elsewhere. i was going to spend some cash during the lost shore content which i spent elsewhere. i dont have any infractions as of yet. i think if they value any money i might spend via the cash shop they need to clarify about there own future and not just make pr statements like the whiteside quote

i did their survey guess im not mad at receiving the uber item that doesnt matter to me the lag that hurt the event i couldnt see or do anything bothered me more. i got dc’ed so didnt get the chest and dont really care if i get compensated i just want future events to go smoothly

I believe this is a debacle. Some suggestions on how to make good

ricky markham.8173

i dont think someone job should be in jeopardy but maybe this incident will make anet more forthcoming in the future discussing about possible big changes with the community so we can have an ability to change the game we want instead of dumping changes on us. if an ideas get too much negativity on the official forums then they could nix the idea and decide to go in another direction. the whole ascended gear thing has ticked me off mainly cause its was a change that was something that i and alot of other were clearly against. im all for polls and such from anet giving us decision which way thew game goes

i was looking back on the event and trying to think of a way they could improve it and man i think you may have hit the nail on the head. i was thinking maybe small instances so there wouldnt be so many in one district but i think your suggestion has anything surpassed that i could think of. kuddos. as for feedback they could even make it once per account as in the loot

Isn't warrior a little bit OP in PvE?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ricky markham.8173

ricky markham.8173

i thought that as well but i thought less of the warrior when i got him up between 60 and 70 actually seems not as good at that stage compared to other chars but im still not sure about traits might have traited him wrong which could explain my problem

Permanent Pet Stow Option

i just like the stow option to work as intended when i want my pet away they shouldnt appear just because i jumped down a hill and took a bit of damage or come out when im in a jumping puzzle . i dont do jumping puzzles due to pets even when im on my other chars because of others people pets in my way

i think we should have control of our in the downed state. i hate seeing my pet stand doing nothing because i didnt get the chance to switch to another pet right before i went to downed. your downed and fighting to get back up and having a pet be worthless in that aspect just hurts.yes if we are waypoint place pets should stop attacking all together
