Guild Wars 2

Yes, DH is not op, at least for the pro level.

Confirmed: DH needs a buff.

My mesmer clone soloed it naked.

With 10 min left on the timer.

Ppl complain if servers are full, and ppl complain if servers are not full. Oo

PlasticHippo.8934:

why is it that 95% of the time where people talk about the difficulty of Raids what the means is difficulty of the first boss and just assume everyone thinks raids = first boss?

Because 95% of the people don’t get farther than the first boss.

I could (and still can) do SW events and chestfarm for hours on end, but not the new maps? Why?

Rewards? Ease of finding a map? Stress? Not liking to adhere do a 2h schedule?

Probably a bit of all of them. The content itself seems nice enough, though.

Pick a universal metazerk rune like scholar.

Can only speak for vanilla FF14.

FF14 has hard trinity, gear grind, and slower, less dynamic combat. Also drops need to be rolled on.

Raids are 8 man with 2 healers, 2 tanks, and 4 dps.

Due to having a history of more raids, mechanics are also more involved.

The old raids are casualized and become puggable.

Apart from that, raids are pretty similar.

True, forgot about that.

Ardid.7203:

A friend of mine got “Tiny Mollestya” flagged as inapropiate. I really can´t understand the policy. What’s the logic?

Because it sounds like molest.

AWACS.6537:

Shulkor.3670:

Of course I’ll buy their expacs, if the price is more realistic and not including the core!

Fear not, future expansions will include previous expansions as well as the core!

And they will also be priced accordingly. QQ

What part of Dr Hashbrown is considered inappropriate?

Afaik no (I’ve seen a few threads about this, and the answer was always no).

Lucky Shot.7650:

What does everybody do nowdays?

We complain on the forums.

PvP here is easy as a casual player. Rewards depend on win%, match time and queue time.

While casual players might have a slightly smaller win%, they tend to have shorter match times and queue times, so on average they might even get more rewards.

Rayya.2591:

Hello
we can farm 5/ pvp reward track
Wait , is this www upgrade
He He

As WvW is the pinnacle of GW2, it is only logical that you need to farm everywhere else for it xD

Bloodraven.5693:

So these kittens think its fine to have kittening walls completely kittening useless! You are at more of a disadvantage as a defender and the kittened kittening kittens don’t have the brains to fix this bullkitten! So kittening regret spending money on the expansion to come back to a game that is worse in every kittening way!

Lol, that’s the post with the most kittens I’ve seen so far.

That’s really weird.

It suspect it’s a display bug, and the area you need to explore is probably not in Dredgehaunt cliffs at all.

Also that thread seems about the same problem:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Dredgehaunt-Cliffs-Tribulation-Caverns

Then I would just run GW2 24/7 on my PC. Afaik there is no auto-kick on afk.

Good idea in principle, but it’s quite hard to define what playtime is with regard to being AFK. So it’s likely to cause more problems than helping.

Atm you have dailiy login rewards, which are quite similar.

You can compare https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/6/69/Dredgehaunt_Cliffs_map.jpg with your map.

Do you have Tribulation Caverns, Dissum Mine and Ulukk’s Hunger discovered?

If you visit the forums daily, you haven’t really moved on

Tspatula.9086:

TD still has areas I have no clue as to how to get to…

That’s the awesome thing about TD for me But I suppose not everyone likes labyrinths.

guys
are you people really not understanding that it was sarcastic and what they meant “needs to be done” is something about the taxi/overflow/not being able to select a map on your own issue
like GW1 “Districts”

Lol, OP got me.

It’s questionable if taxi to open tarir is according to the rules (probably yes, as there is also group content to be done in open tarir).

But taxis to do (meta) events IS a group formation. Don’t confuse group with party.

Using LFG for anything that involves playing with other players (“forming a group”) is officially allowed.

For details, read https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Policy-on-the-LFG-Tool/

And yes, taxiing people to a map to do events counts as forming a group.

myren.5490:

Should I buy heart of thorns or just wait for the next expansion that’ll most likely have it included for free? Should I expect a time where it’ll be on sale or something?

Do you like raids? Do you like maps with scheduled 2h large scale meta events? Do you want to have a chance in PvP? Would you like to have better fractal rewards, and/or do high level fractals?

If you answered any question with yes, you should buy HoT.

If you can wait, or if you’re satisfied with vanilla GW2 as it is now, you should wait for sale or next expansion.

Did you use lfg taxis to get to an organized VB night map?

Any of these usually kill all nighttime bosses.

If they don’t start axe immediately with the chopper phase, tag up, and spam map chat for people to come.

ferdi.1452:

Is anyone even against a change like this? Besides Anet of course.

No. I haven’t read a single post that is against this.

Some people worry that lfgs will become hidden deep in some subcategory, but a proper seraching and aggregating function can address this easily.

But especially with raids, it makes no sense at all to have them in open world, and nobody would complain if they got their own category.

I would call the ways you have listed sustainable, but as you said, you need

to use tricks and circumvent stuff by using the resources of a long time player.

It might be that I missed something, maybe there is a new secret way to farm the mats with the new HoT content.

You pretty much listed all ways in your post. So afaik there is no other way.

Outside prime time, HoT metas are pretty hard/impossible.

It’s meant to be grindy, otherwise you would be finished with the 4 maps too quickly.

Only way to be sure is to compile it yourself, or have someone compile it you trust.

Even then, it’s pretty hard to ensure that the source code is not malicious, except if it’s only a few lines.

The wish for more lfg categories in open world was there since day 1 HoT, probably even before.

Did Anet show that they care in any way? No.

Grouping raiders are by far the worst (no offense, it’s Anet’s fault). Flax seed farmers are usually not more than 10, and since they change the char after 30 sec, they won’t really block maps.

GW2 is about maximizing DPS. Always was, always will be.

Raid enrage timers reflect that perfectly.

REID.1058:

Anet please add a “Dungeonmode” to raids. So we can 5 man it. Also bring back defiance stacks so we can deepfreeze and icebow 4 All time to Slip difficult game mechanics. As reward we only want the same amount of Shards as the normal mode so we can farm thehheck out of it and gain our ascended shinys for free.

I don’t miss metazerkstack icebow 4.

But I’m sure an easy mode could be done without degenerating raids to that.

So you complain that GW2 has become too casual friendly with HoT?

That’s a complaint I haven’t heard yet, lol.

At least on SFR, you have commanders on the new maps

The basic repeatable (grindable?) content of HoT would be, apart from the raid, the 4 meta events of the new maps.

Each meta event has a 3-5 different paths you can follow, so it will take some time until you have seen everything.

Adry.7512:

ok so i crafted night fury. when i clicked it, it didnt specify at all which one was light, medium, or heaby. i clicked the top one thinking it went from light (top) down to heavy (bottom), but instead i got heavy. could you please, for the love of god, fix this problem in my account? im NOT going to make another nightfury just to get light armor piece. so please reset it for me and also fix it for future players. PLEASE! >:(

Customer support might help you, but not sure what their policiy in this case is.

Bull kitty indeed. You shouldn’t lose participation when volunteering, or when the map closes.

I think actually, you should get bonus participation for volunteering.

Unfortunately, this is just another example of how little Anet thought before releasing HoT, and how little they care after releasing it.

NayNay.7680:

Thing is: The inscription doesn’t even show up in the menu of items to plop in the forge, but it’s in my inventory.

Not good, did they remove the ability to change to new stats with the patch?

Edit: I think trailblazer was never working.

Sicarius.4639:

I said it a while ago, November was not a good month for having unhappy (gaming) customers.

Huge titles out and it will get to the point where the complains stop and so do the logins…

Fortunately, despite many other games coming out, ppl still complain on the forums instead of playing them. Considering that, HoT was a success

We are complaining now for one month, straight.

GW2 has become very complicated since HoT. It will take some time until you know what goes where.

PvE community is very nice as long as the content is easy.

Can get become quite toxic on hard maps (TT, TD, VB T4, instanced content), and in PvP of course (though at a low skill level it’s not so bad). WvW really depens on server, but people are usually nice there, too.

Population is usually granted because of megaserver, but outside primetime (at least in EU) some less desirable maps become empty. Also, sometimes you need to use the LFG tool to get to a full(er) map instance.

But for world bosses, there are still a lot of people around. Also, the vanilla GW2 maps have seen a large influx of players since it became F2P.

Because WvW has no megaserver (apart from one map, EoTM), empty maps are quite common there, though.

Was not so hard before the raids (got it 5 out of 6 times by using lfg). I’d wait before Anet fixes the afk raider problem, then it should become doable again.

IndigoSundown.5419:

I suspect that as long as ANet tunes raids to be doable at all, there are going to be complaints about the bosses being too easy. It’s kind of the nature of this game’s combat.

That’s why there should be multiple difficulties. Otherwise, someone will complain regardless.
