Don’t know what community you’re thinking of. I still have a great amount of faith in ArenaNet and have enjoyed all of their updates thus far. I am quite confident in saying that a large majority of the playerbase have also enjoyed them.
We’re in the same community mate and I applaud to your patience, because lately I’ve been talking to many players, inside and outside my guilds, in mmorpg forums, on reddit, everywhere, and many MANY of us are tired of waiting.
I still didn’t lose all of my faith, afterall this game is my favourite mmo. But I’m starting to consider if the we’ll ever see new contents. Not only little improvements here and there.
ALSO, what do you have to say about the Commander CDI? People put time and effort in that thread and what we got? 3 more colors. Really?
the three colors . account wide but a lot they said would take much longer to put into game so those two were what i was expecting at first with more to come. some they werent sure if they could do or not. cdis werent promises they were talks how to make things better with chances of stuff getting put in
you might try using the in game support also. i think they respond there quicker. its in the game menu or try support page here on this site https://help.guildwars2.com/home
hit sunmit a request upper left hand corner i wasnt yelling in your other thread about it being where it didnt belong guess i was trying to clear it up for the person who told you to learn to play. this was clearly a support issue. hope you get it solved
i also love the show. i think its more of get to know your devs and know who does what and who to thank for your favorite parts and i do get a laugh or two out of it every episode and look forward to future episodes
angel i like to express the great job youve been doing on the ls2. every time i hear something about it mainly from points of interest they are mentioning your name. either they are just pluging your name but i suspect your a lot with making it a better ls season and deserve praise
whats farming to one if different for another. i remember gw1 where a friend got level 80 gear and got it early and thats all he ever wanted or needed. i farmed all the sets of armor for fun because i liked having different sets with dyes id farmed to have a new look every other day. now he would have called that farming i called it getting what i wanted. i didnt need those set none had better stats but it was looks foe me which was important. i think the reason he played so much was the enjoyment of getting on teamspeak and doing stuff with me and others. so if you dont like farming id say get on to do stuff with other can be entertaining you might try it instead
i know a lot of people who exclusively only play eotm but it isnt my cup of tea but if i have to wait to play wvw i dont mind going there to waste time. so i dont think it was a waste of time. it working as intended id say. as for the cdis chris and a few others i felt yall gave us so much beyond what was required for them. but i think a lot of what you had to do there was keep people in line whereas i felt a community person could have done that and you could have did most of the back and forth. i also like to see things that come out of them that made it into the game. i think the commander tags and colors was part that did. i also wouldnt mind if the cdis went back to topics that were worked on previous and explained why something couldnt be implemented. i do understand not everything we suggested can be implemented.(ive done some game programming myself) i loved the cdis although i never participated in them. main reason others used to get there ideas in there which were better then i thought and my typing isnt the greatest and i felt the whole discussion actually went places and were good for the community. so yes thanks chris for chiming in here it is appreciated
i know one dev made the original why cant it be his project to do update that get released in feature packs.
I would like to point out that this is not true. SAB was not a one man show. Josh is an excellent environment artist and he obviously has a knack for designing things too. But his skillset is limited. SAB was made by a small team Josh at its helm, but to say he could maintain it alone is probably an overstatement. No matter how much passion or enthusiasm he has for it.
ok then a couple of people(im sure they could spare a few) but the rest of my post has merit and from what i read it was done in his/their spare time. someone or two working full time on it with a bit of help here and there would have no problem. my point why does it have to be worked into the ls why cant it be part of feature packs. truthfully i hated sab(not a jumping person) but im posting this for those who loved it and a decent amount of people did love it so i dont see a reason for it to go wayside. if i had time to mess around with it more on the breaks from ls i might like it better. but seeing all the people in rata sum protesting i thought maybe they should give it a little love
if the leader tags up and they all join his group then you can see all the members but i wouldnt mind this option either
no to dueling in open world ok with arenas for dueling only. dont care to argue why or why not i just dont like mount or dueling in any game ive played if a game has those options even how well they think they implement i never play them long
i dont understand why it must be part of the ls if it doesnt fit release new update with the feature packs. i know one dev made the original why cant it be his project to do update that get released in feature packs. maybe in the few weeks before they feature pack they can release last season version. this is they same question i have when they update the world why does an update to shatterer have to be part of ls cant they just release his update(mechanics) as part of the feature pack
chris its nice to se you back i figured we tired you out on the cdis. its great to know they are coming back i was worried they might never return and some of us do appreciate the work youve put into them. i understand the cdis were all extra time on your part its one of the bright point of the communication betweens us and anet. my thoughts are when your passionate about something you give too much of yourself. i personally like to see someone not a dev specifically who might run it keep everyone in line and be a go between the dev and us. thanks again chris for your time and effort
sounds more of a bug then inability to finish id contact support
i dont understand why sab must be part of the ls release it when on break with the last version they did then include an updated world with each feature pack. from what i understand it was one dev who created make it his project completely. that way he can keep it as his vision
i dont understand why it must fit into the ls why cant it be introduced as part of the feature pack with updates to the world and running during breaks in ls even the previous world til the feature pack gets here. if it was done this way on ls breaks i might get into it myself. i dont understand why it cant be that way.
i almost thought maybe the vision was of the dragons possibly working together but that was my take on it
Can we please get a vendor in game that will take the various items for crafting the back piece that you get from doing the living story and, say, give geodes or lockpicks for it?
I’d love to get the bloodstone dust converter, but fractals are something that I cannot do at this time or for the foreseeable future, so that makes the items useless to me and I would like rewards for my work going through the story that I can use.
Alternatively, please make the Mists Stone not account bound so I don’t need to go in there to use things I’m getting through an entirely unrelated avenue of gameplay.
i like that idea actually
his goody goody guy approach might be what he thought thats what his jailors wanted to hear. sometimes a shady person pretends to be goody goody too shoes just to fool people into trusting him again. a lifetime criminal will say anything if he thinks he getting out of on early release. i think hes still coniving and ruthless and will do anything to better his life
they are account bound so you could store them on an alt your not using. i know not the best idea. laurel in my book are too important a lot of things to use them on to waste on items you could have already gotten.
they could but it might be hard to see the vines reach the floating city maybe a direct attack on it with his minions in hope to bring it down so he can hit with his vines
your right they are doing a way better job on the ls actually wish they would have done this type of job in season 1. i think they still got a few things they can improve but they are on the right track and the i think the ls can be totally awesome someday and by providing feedback they can get there someday
i agree with all your good points so no discussion there.
i think they will get better with the linking or making of world event in the ls and hope they try different things in the future and keep at it til they get it right. i like how they try to relate stuff in the ls to event you have in the world. plus if i do the ls with an alt i like how i might complete events chains that i wouldnt have otherwise. the drops and rewards you are right with all that.
only other comment i got i think a dungeon is going to come at some time during the season. they only did part of the season. im hoping they release a dungeon and world dragon event with every ls season. im hoping that something along the line of marionette(not sure if that spelled right) becomes a the permanent thing . if they dont release stuff like this then im going to totally agree with you on this point
no blame anet for making scarlet
curse you anet etc.
ok i conceed your right
i thought most of the last feature pack was what we needed but my only wish was i wish they would have let us know some of what was coming so we had enough to get minor changes in and change it a bit and thats the biggest part they failed at and i think thats going to happen again with this one. they do overhype(i think they are going to do it again) it too act like it going to be fabolous when its needed or good material. there was minor bugs and problems they might have made better if we could have a bit of feedback in before they released it
i enjoyed it was well tried with three characters had enough problems with one i had to get outside assisstance a second i got help before i started it the third i did it but it was difficult but i finished it solo. that character was a more hearty char then the two previous ones
jenna first buit that was first group i saw then plunt noticed him next then charr leader the knut which if funny cause my character is norn she knew the norns could handle themselves and saved the what she would have thought were weaker races first. actually it was the first group i noticed in each time just funny how it turned out
i found out about the thamanova after i typed this so take that off the list.
i died five times trying to get into vexas lab what is that 6 or 8 simple jumps. im telling you jp arent my thing i got inside the last time i did it and got booted never got past the first part.
im still looking for a port to that one in frostgorge i got pretty far and quit due to fustration. i rarely can do easy jp’s and anything with any jumping skill ill never do without help
i understand i just wont do and probably end up deleting the items before i could finish one backpack. im a skin person but i have my doubts ill finish it uinless i come across nice people thatll help me out. the thing i got guildmates who do help in a lot of stuff but when it comes to jp’s im sick of asking for it.and yes before anyone else says it i know its optional but id like to have the skins in my wardrobe at least
I do understand the jumping bits – not a big fan of them overall even if I have managed to get some of them down so to speak. Frostgorge one is a pain because of all the trash shooting at you. Don’t hesitate to ask in map chat that you are having difficulty and ask if anyone would be willing to assist in porting. There are a surprising number of very nice folk who will help you out.
Vexa’s lab, one trick is to just stay on the rims and work your way around. The bit with the roaming robots is definitely harder, again you want to stay on the rims and keep moving until you get over to the end. That part you won’t die if you fall down at least. Right now there are a lot of folk doing these puzzles so try asking for assistance and see if you can get it done that way.
tried doing what you said four different times in frostgate and got no help got to wait til my big jp person in my guild gets on hell help me. havent been back to vexxs lab yet and i was going slow didnt know it had timer that kicked me out just got to move quicker there maybe after a time or two i might get there
It happens automatically. I don’t think many people use it. The forum inserts it.
its funny i type kitten instead of curse word on the forum cause i know its the filter word they use but im weird in that sense i hate typing real curse words cause i never utter one in real life. o i guess i censor myself
no blame scarlet for making him aware
i think all the focus on the slyvari and pale tree cause its closer to the dragon they are bringing out and another i think that dragon has corrupted another tree and knows of slyvari and there dream and see some significance in it but thats my thoughts on the subject
its about half the time it fails but you have to get there early to get in an organized group 30 to 40 minutes early i find best if you get there you can tell if its going to be a good attempt if someone is organizing or not. if they arent you might as well go somewhere else. i usually get a good one once a day but there could be more times hes done. i just only do him once and i check on him mostly on of hours so at prime time he prob gets done more often just get there early
funny thing i was thinking bug til i moved a bit and my green circle popped up then i found her
the new backpiece items require you to do jumping puzzles which i guess ill never get i hate jumping puzles and so sick of making a mesmer friend come around to help me through them
If you are meaning Thamanova reactor – no real jumping there. That one you need to get the keys to so you can get to the Steam Ogre and charge your orb as well on that platform. I will say that one was incredibly non-intuitive. Lot of folk jumping up as far as they could get on the roof before someone mentioned you needed the keys to open the portal to the Steam Ogre. Then it was a doh moment.
Vexa’s lab isn’t so much a jumping puzzle as you can run along the rims while avoiding the bots to get to the other side. Right now there are plenty of folk fighting Vexa so getting that one is pretty easy. If you fall off the rims just swim to the ramps and climb up again. Rinse and repeat until Vexa is gone. The area to charge the orb is up one of the ramps. It may be possible to do that during the fight but not sure.
Foxfire cluster one was just finding the pollen rich zepher in Aurora’s Remains – very easy to find if you have ever done that one. Small bit of jumping over some shrooms but nothing difficult. All that is doable.
Main issue now for me is my seed turned into a Pet Seed which is a bug. ANet is aware and looking at that one. So just making Meaty Plant food and working on my exotic luck until they fix that.

im really hoping there isnt a bunch more jumping garbage i hate jumping puzzles
my ranger had an easier time with it then my mesmer or my guardian. both of them had a hard time about it but it was rather easy on my ranger.

Because they look awesome.
Even if they changed it’s process into a scavenger hunt, the desire would still mostly be for their awesome skin.
Dunno what’s wrong with me but I just don’t find those legendary skins appealing at all.
i dont either but the statement that they made they would be top gear always and with the wardrobe i change it to a skin i prefer makes me prefer it over an ascended weapon
The way I see it, horizontal progression was a big part of their plan for the game. It was big enough to be touted many times. Cosmetic endgame was also another way of saying the same thing, and that was talked to death. So, when someone says, “Hey, stats are not what you will be pursuing once you’ve hit max level.” along with all the rest about rare looks being the endgame pursuit, and when that’s the way the game looks at launch, it’s not a stretch to think that that was what was intended.
So, they changed their minds. That’s perfectly reasonable. However, the way they talked about it left the impression that they hadn’t changed their minds — and had always intended the game to include time-consuming to get max stat items, but fumbled the ball with exotics. This to me is ill-considered and poor PR. I understand that ANet does not owe us anything with regard to communication, however when they do communicate, what I hear is circumlocutions and PR speak, not frank, open discussion — which I would prefer.
i do too. hey if they make mistakes come out and say it. i felt about the ascended armor if they would have stated it hey we were wrong about exotic and we decided it better for the game to put in another layer instead of we intended this at launch but never got implemented i would have been ok with it. straight shoot for me and youll keep me. i understand games got to change and changes are needed.
megaservers were one thing i think if they would have have been more open with what they were doing and what they were going to implement they would have had a better reaction. yes i understand a lot of people complain about changes but maybe if they walked us slowly through it they could address those concerns before they release it. this was one thing that kind of got sprang on the community and yes we asked for it with our threads about dead servers but i think a lot of the rp side of felt they got boned with them being implemented.
guild halls something they stated they put on the back burner a while and a lot of people want them. id like to know why they were put there was it something they didnt feel like they could do right? are they still being worked on? are they just a paper that sits on someones desk and forgotten? hey yes a lot of people would be mad if they came out and said yes we arent doing them ok move on. same thing about mounts open world one on one. id love to know if they are still thinking about doing this stuff or no chance. one id know id quit the game but id respect them for letting me know the other i could live with but want to know. id be more mad if they sprung one or both of those on us without letting us know first and they get no respect from me and id badmouth them any chance i get. i understand this game isnt for everyone but if they let me know which direction they are taking id respect them and play furture games they might release but throwing stuf at us that ticks me of would cause me to never play a game of there again
too many achievements in game already no need to make dailies take longer i do them to get the laurels only i dont do them all, it doesnt take more then an hour tops for me which is fine sometimes thats all the time i got to play that day
it kept me coming back so thats better then ls1 who almost lost me and im generally excited for the next patch so yes op i agree
How about a ticket to get a weapon skin from the Black Lion Weapons Specialist? I’m sure that players would really appreciate that.
maybe a set of 7 so we could get any weapon we want seeing the highest price is set at 7. i do like a lot of the black lion weapons
maybe if they offered some incentive for people to move to other severs better then they did before maybe a few of them might open up. me for one wouldnt mind moving down but guild storage and stuff too much hassle to switch to a lower server along with the gems price hurts in my opinion
im getting my riot gear ready in case it happens. a wise man once said prepare for the worst when you get better youll be happy with what you get
im going to say roughly 6 to 8 hours on the first two 10 plus the third due to bugs mostly prob real time 6 hours third. now the time i spent on using lockpicks on chest too many i still got all mine from the story but yet i havent found chest enough to use them al
You argue for A-net making ugly armor skins…
I mean Ascended Armor should at least be on-level with other skins. Male Medium for example, is too wide from behind, like a skirt, i mean this is not scotland wars 2.I made my point already. Nobody really goes for Ascended gear only for stats… They aren’t that much more than exotic gear anyway. But then when you finally have it, it looks too bulky and clunky.
Just my 2 coppers!
the up in stats is why i crafted ascended gear in the first place. i replace them with my favorite skins using the wardrobe. so dont say nobody goes for ascended gear for stats.. i did
i think 20 skill points or 20 levels like we get in chests would be better then the level 20 scroll we got
set of minis same rareness and tradeable(some people dont like minis and that way everyone can get them all)
birthday booster from last year would be fine
its sort of like last year but a bit better
There are Risen bulls. Why not Risen Bunnies? Bunnies have a right to be undead too.
Very true
Wonder if they’d explode like the chickens?
we had those terrible bunies in gw1 remember the ts session when me and my friend came across them the first time. it was like look at the bunny awe there another lets see all the bunnies then at bottom wtf they are killing me. then it was darn bunnies
I don’t recall saying darn bunnies. I’m pretty sure it was some other words, several of them.
And then later I found an unsuspecting guildie and showed him the nice bunnies. ^^
they were other words but seeing the filter is on i used that one to get my point acrross

I don’t see why people are so fussed about raids… this is GW2 – we have no trinity. All it’ll be is a group of 10 – 20 meta dps builds zerging stuff and abusing the fight mechanics to make it easier.
For one you assume to much, you act as if Anet has no ability to make it awesome. Also there is a large group of people who would love this. Just cause there is no trinity does not mean it can’t work. I know a quite a few people that think this is one thing that the smaller guilds need, as a 10 man raid could be done and maybe a 20 man if the guild pulls a few friends into the run. Heck add guild commendations as part of the reward and limit it to once per week.
Also when they introduce Legendary Armor, Trinkets, and Back Pieces this could provide a new tier of high quality materials, that will be needed to make said such pieces.
i kind of agree with him until they can define some type of roles in the combat itll be one just zerg fest
I think they are slacking up a bit on the original trinity design of the game. The newer gear with what could be considered tanky type attributes. The really only lacking thing would be skills and traits that allow you to hold aggro. I don’t see them going that far into it.
I think a lot of people appreciate not having to look for a dedicated healers to just be able to go in and have some fun. But sometimes fight mechanics for a boss type can go along way for making a team designed with the current trinity to make things like holding aggro not even needed. This has been a work in process the whole way though the game. I think they go outta there way to make these roles that anyone can do kinda like holding an item during a fight to get it charged up, this is where they placed the roles in the current trinity.
Looking at one over the other, I don’t really see much difference zerging with or without a tank it still ends up being a zerg when its all said and done.
im not talking about trinity but id love to see more playable roles besides zerg or dps. protection interuption as roles would be nice if they could include them in roles. im saying i want any class to be able to do those things so you dont have to have a dedidcated type have to be healer. i just want there to more roles to play beside big damage dealer.
actually i cdis were a good thing it provided an intereaction between anet and the people of the forum. people whined there but the person who did that those were quick to pint out the reason of them. i know the wvw one didnt go so well. but more of the cdis would be fine as intereaction for me. i felt the only proble was the person who did those cdis was trying to do his regular work along with posting and it burned him out by having a person dedicated to them, only as a work thing would have been better
