Guild Wars 2

Just wanted to say great job Fergs in EB working as a team! I am getting tired of these resets though this is twice today I build a bunch of siege and poof gone build again and poof. One of the guys from ferg JUST made a golem I feel bad for him anyhow great job team! Also why do you give PvE players 3 minutes warning and you give us 10 seconds? Come on Anet please give us the same!

Nice just logged in and at least all my siege is still there (this time) but that guy did lose his golem

So in order to get my monthly achievment kill 50 WvW players check! Next on list must do dungeons………

Can you please separate the PvP and PvE for monthly achievment I have only done one dungeon in this game (the end quest one) and I don’t ever want to do another one again. I can’t stand any of the PvE content and if this “end game” is all about WvW why are you making me go do dungeons for my monthly reward.

Have one monthly achievment for PvE and one for PvP please.

I would like a response from NP please in regards to this.

@fizzypop

As a suggestion maybe putting in a idea from you rather than just throwing some vids you want them to watch. I have watched all the videos and they make good points however you have posted no “suggestion” just videos that others have made.

For example a good suggestion could be to change the tons and tons of mobs in orr (that is really annoying and not tough) to groups of mobs with a vet leader roaming. There are so many mobs in orr right next to each other and I HATE the ones that pull you to them when i’m just trying to run across the map because I don’t want to pay for a waypoint.

Another that those videos don’t touch on is END gameplay which seems to have a HUGE issue ATM (which might get changed with this new patch).

Anyhow as a suggestion put a suggestion in your post

Just wanted to say great job Ferg on holding on to our map pretty much this whole week so far. Go Ferg! I also had a blast attacking DR’s map today we took over close to half of it before people logged and DR came and took it all back after most of us logged out.

Oh and DR stop posting in here I even changed my OP so you don’t have any reason to come in and post hehe

Bones.5762:

There really is no reason to represent a guild in a different server, seeing as guesting doesn’t exist yet, and also what purpose would it serve? Honestly it’s understandable not all players will transfer, but those who don’t should stand down, or the guild leaders should boot them, if they choose not to.

Exactly. Also if someone from NP on Ferg is talking in guild chat about attacking something in DR then they could relay that info (or the other way around). Its just bad all around in my opinion and should have never been allowed to happen in the first place.

cross message fine. No cross guild. Why would I join a guild or want a guild on the server who I am fighting for that also has players in the same guild on the opposite server. No its just wrong

A question for NP guild why do you still have players in DR if you are now on FERG? To ANET I feel this should not be allowed to have different players in the same guild on different servers especially if you are fighting them.

Dhar.6392:

New content or bugged existing content.

I think I’d rather have the bugs fixed.

I read the previous posts… and I would agree that more 75-80 zones are necessary. Anet did a fabulous job 1-40 giving each race a fairly distinct path but at the end we are all in the same place.

Not only does this get boring; but it puts a tremendous load on Anet’s resources. The only place I have had lag in Orr. Game runs great everywhere else…even Wv3. I have a 20-30MB cable Ethernet service and I still get lag.

First, just want to say it’s Mb not MB.

Second, I agree that more 75 to 80 zones need to be added

Third, I also agree that I would rather see the bugs fixed first but maybe it will be done with the new content? One can only hope

fourth, not trying to rip on you about the Mb vs MB I just want to point it out because a lot of people make this mistake.

Hi-

So as a thought to help you make some money and add a more immersive experience in game you should create and sell in the lion’s arch trading post different dance moves and expressions. I myself would love to see a Mc Hammer type dance “hammer time”. Anyone have a favorite type dance they would like to see?

I also wanted to add that another issue I see (my opinion) is that because there is a big money sink and its hard to come by alot of people tend to run with the zerg for that money rather than stay behind and defend (not all the times but alot) or upgrade. So in the end you have a zerg that might have taken over half of the map or more but nothing is upgraded and the other teams zerg is licking its chops wanting that money as well and if the other team doesn’t have the numbers its a steamroll. In fact I think this week a certain server with the numbers (again my opinion) have left certain maps (maybe went and did some PvE or something) so that the smaller server/servers will take over alot of it so they can come back in and zerg it again for the money/karma but that is just my opinion.

What i’m getting at is that the money factor is a huge reason for the zergs and the reason for not as much open battles. I think it would be much better if the upgrades to keeps/towers/supply camps just took time and supply not gold and that the only gold you got in WvW was off of killing players and NPC’s. I think it would lead to even greater battles. Less worry about the money more about the game.

Anyhow, Go Ferg!

@scooby treat:

Sorry for misblaming you. But the fact is that sportsmanship has gone way down. It’s just sad to see. I’m not calling anyone a bad person, but I’m sick of everyone being angry at everyone.

No worries I think the main issue is ego and also people getting frustrated with how things are going. I am happy that you guys got the transfers as it helps to move up and have more coverage. It sucks for fergs/kain now but I hope overtime that will change. I have seen alot of change over the last couple of weeks on Ferg for the better as we seem to be working better at times as a team.

It would almost seem better if there was no such thing as a “guild” just a server. Everyone no matter if they don’t have a guild (like myself I like to be free hehe) or are in a guild makes a difference in WvW not just 1 group but everyone. Yesterday in EB I saw some great teamwork in fergs where people were upgrading running supplies and I thought now this is how it should be a team effort with everyone helping out where they can. If you don’t have money for upgrades run supplies, make sure camps don’t get taken do what you can to help the “team”.

Now it seems when a team starts winning I see alot of “we are the reason” when its everyone. DR had great players before you guys got the transfers just the transfers now put you guys over the top because I know that both Ferg and Kain have great players also we just don’t have the numbers.

I see bad blood starting to rise because of how long we are fighting each other. We are going on is it 4 weeks in a row now (ferg would go up and down the first month so we wern’t always fighting each other week after week)? As DR gets more and more players from transfers and we keep fighting each week and it becomes more and more of a blowout people get frustrated. Add that and the “we are the reason” (between DR guilds) and its a bad combination (It should be a separate thread to be honest).

Jurrzy.1594:

People, please act civilized and have good sportsmanship. I’m glad that we’re one of the competitive brackets, but people are being really mean. Today, I saw a thread called “Kain/Ferg no DR allowed”. Really, guys? I’ll admit it, we Devonians(As I call the inhabitants of our server) have been really arrogant lately, but this is just sad. Kain and DR used to be in a friendly rivalry. Then PRO came, then we started winning, then we got arrogant, then people started transferring, then you guys got jealous, and now everyone from all three servers are acting like children and are being very unsportsmanlike.

Please guys, this is just really stupid. We’re all bottom bracket, we all (currently) suck, and we don’t need to be so rude. Now, we here at Devona’s Rest are acting like the kid who holds his prize just beyond the smaller kid’s reach and laughs at them, while Kain and Ferg are acting like the kids who cry “cheaters!” and become jealous at the winner.

Both behaviors are really unsportsmanlike and have to stop. Can’t we all just be respectful and fair?

To Kain and Ferg, I’m sorry you guys lost a bunch of players to us. You guys were too awesome for that.

Sadly, I think my cry for sportsmanship will just get buried under more angry posts.

So I don’t know if you even opened and read my post of kain/ferg no DR but maybe you should. I started that because If you look at this thread over half of it is DR fighting over who should get the pat on the back for the wins. Having 3 guilds transfer to your server in 3 weeks makes a huge difference end of story.

I also posted my frustration of wasting 5 gold or more in EB to watch it get lost in about 20 minutes from a sea of DR but that is my fault for spending the gold. Anyhow these posts that are made each week should be about a good battle or thanks for the teamwork stuff like that but it has turned into “no i’m the reason we are winning!”

BTW you can read my thread just don’t post in it as no DR hehe

Vyn.7026:

I’m one of those new transfers people keep going on about, and if it makes you feel any better I myself am leaving come Thursday (when my week’s up). I have no interest in playing a pitched match, and would never have transferred to DR had I known how lopsided the score had become. Won’t be headed home to Borlis, but I will be out of your hair.

By all means stay you guys will move up probably next week is my guess and it won’t be so one sided however if your guild really did just “pick” a server out of the bottom 3 without looking at scores my suggestion next time would be check the 3 servers you are going to choose from and see which server could use the most help and transfer there to try and help out (again just my opinion). Also, there were 2 new guilds that joined DR this week that I know of and I give them the same opinion as well on top of PRO moving there about 3 weeks ago. Having 3 guilds transfer to 1 server in 3 weeks will make a huge difference especially in the bottom 3.

@Mr Girly Man

hehe ya its basically a PRO forum in there and a couple other DR posters fighting over why they are on top and you better give me props for us being on top hehe

@chris

Also just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work man I know you have upgraded more than I ever had (you and your guild) just wanted to say thanks for your hard work. Even though you say you have given up on EB I know you still are in there trying as well with the upgrades and siege weapons

Also thanks to all Fergs that help run supplies and upgrade stuff I saw alot of teamwork today and we did great! Keep it up!

Chris.4527:

Lmao.

I gave up on EB last week, pointless.

hehe ya even after I posted this I still upgraded some stuff in EB oh well maybe i’ll learn when i run out of gold lol. I just see a tower with full supplies and no upgrades and my finger starts twitching and the little guy on my shoulder says “hey you should upgrade that!” LOL

@Mindreaver

Hey I said no DR.. hehe anyhow I’m glad you are happy at DR. Everyone in the bottom needed transfers I just don’t like all the people jumping to the winning server on the bottom making it now a sea of red DR’s. I thought it was funny one of the newest guilds to you guys was like oh well we decided to transfer to the bottom and we didn’t check the servers we just picked a name… YEAAAA RIGHT LOL. anyhow don’t respond because this is NO DR

Jacknife.7305:

I don’t know what you’re talking about man, DR is all skill. They have lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of skill

haha lol that made me laugh. I wrote this post right after I watched all the work in EB go to waste (so i was a little heated and then seeing the posts in our forum for WvW by DR made me mad) but all in all its been alot of fun fighting (at least in our home ferg map and even in EB before the wave of DR hehe). We just finished chasing out everyone in ferg map and now have a firm hold on it again it was alot of fun. Maybe one of these days we will be able to have that in 2 maps and then 3 and 4 but thats way down the line.

Anyhow I hope Kain you are able to do the same on your home map chase those DR out keep it blue and Ferg keep up the great work in our home map we kicked $@%!

Anyhow, thanks for the laugh

I decided to change my OP to say if anyone from Kain or Ferg would like to post about the WvW that is going on please do if you don’t want to listen to the other thread that was started. Anyhow DR try and refrain from posting hehe

So I think its pretty sad what your kain zerg did. You basically gave up on your map and come to Fergs home map while DR was attacking us. Have some pride and protect your own map instead of trying for the easy way out attacking our map while DR was there…

Just wanted to give Props to Bigmathafer for running into the zerg of DR at the supply camp! I thought I was the only crazy one but I was wrong! I will follow you into an army of Reds anytime! Go ferg! Would also like to give props to the fergs that are still out there!

there are only about 5 of us in ferg map gg DR. I like the golem to its the cherry on top FTW. Oh and was able to bust a couple moves before you took me out

Well I would now say it is offical that DR way outnumbers both Ferg and Kain servers. What was kinda close before will now be a blowout until you move up ranks. I always find it funny that many guilds it seems will always jump to the server that is winning. I guess they don’t want a challenge to fight from the bottom but whatever. We (ferg) will mostly be just in our map because the most we can handle at this time is 1 map where it looks like DR can pretty much keep a decent size group in all maps. So anyhow GG we will still give you a fight however and I will charge a zerg by myself and die in the middle. I’m the green and yellow ranger that you see from time to time run into a group of you and If I catch and kill 3 or so of you trying to take a camp I will prob bust out a couple moves for ya.

Latinkuro.9420:

scooby treat.8420:

if you have done damage to that player you will get loot (if a bag drops) and exp. If a player would rather jump off a cliff and die rather than take any damage from you I think I would LOL

Yeah even I would, but I’m talking about someone you have already engaged in combat and is nearly dead

you will get loot then (again if it drops) and exp.

if you have done damage to that player you will get loot (if a bag drops) and exp. If a player would rather jump off a cliff and die rather than take any damage from you I think I would LOL

Here is an idea maybe they should be like actual camps with small walls and a doors maybe half the strength of a normal tower door. I agree that a supply camp should be harder to take as they are very important part and there is no way anyone can get there before its capped again unless they are right there. Maybe start the camp out with the way they are and the upgrades adds walls and a door that at max strength is about half the strength of a normal tower door.

@reflhex

So maybe as another option for buff/rewards for SM you could make it give a reduced vendor cost on items maybe 10 to 20 percent. For the runes to make the bags and stuff like that. You could put that buff on the keeps or towers or just on SM but I agree a nice buff to reduce some of the crafting costs or any vendor itmes for that matter would be nice.

It might also help bring out some PvE players to help hold some things so they can get lower vendor costs on items.

EasymodeX.4062:

Stonemist is already a point of contention since it is the highest PPT objective and gives raw map control.

Don’t see why you want to add a stat buff on top of it. The purpose is redundant.

The reason I would do this is just for that reason. SM as you said in EB is the major point on that map, and as a major point it should have a nice reward along with a large target on its head. If you are going to be able to hold it you better be ready because the only stat buff in the WvW is this point which will draw large battles from all sides to control. I think it will be hard for one team to keep hold of it as all 3 sides will want it even more than it is now.

Also the 30 stats and 3 percent health and crit damage isn’t going to cause one team to become OP but it is a nice little bump.

@etsmith

I agree it doesn’t fix the issue that is only if they wanted the buffs to come back. Many of the people want something to “fight” for so you need to give it to them. Giving a team a large advantage over the other should not be the case so it would need to be more on the side of magic find, extra karma, money stuff like that. If you wanted to give any sort of stat buff it needs to be rather small.

If it were me I would probably give stonemist castle the 30 buff to all stats, 3 percent health and and 3 percent crit damage and thats it for the damage buffs.

For the keeps I would give each keep a chance to gain more money and karma maybe 5 percent per keep or something around that.

Towers I would give the magic find buff again maybe 3 to 5 percent

For each camp you own over 1 I would give Dolyak speed increase by 2 percent or something and more HP and toughness so they are harder to kill. So if you owned lets say 4 camps you would have a 6 percent speed/HP/toughness for the Dolyaks or something (2 percent might be to high but you could do it per map if you wanted and not for all maps).

So something along the lines of that.

Ok so with the orbs gone people seem they need something to “fight” for. To bring back the orb buffs (if that is what you want) you do something very simple which should have been done in the beginning anyways (if you want hire me).

there are 12 keeps and SM in the middle of EB. You break up the percentage of the buffs. So each keep gives you 10 points in each stat and 1 percent health. Stonemist castle will give 30 points in each stat, and 3 percent health.

This gives you the same 150 stat bonus and 15 percent health that the orbs gave only you can’t fly in and steal them they don’t move. It also fans out the stats for the 3 orbs to 13 keeps/castles which helps break up the large bonus you get with each orb. This way each keep/castle is worth fighting for not just the 3 that have the orbs.

I would also get rid of the outmanned buff (this part optional) and put the bonus into a higher magic find and karma buff. 24 towers you get 1.5 to 2 percent magic find and karma per tower so either 36 percent increase or 48 and I would do the same for supply camps either 1 percent or 0.5 percent increase magic find and karma for a total of 24 percent increase or 12 percent increase. So in the end if you owned “all” towers and camps you would either get 72 percent total increase or 48 if you go either high or low. You could also go high on one and low on the other for different totals. This makes everything “worth” fighting for and holding.

This concludes the “spreading the wealth” topic.

They need to be removed for now. Blame it on the hackers but they must be removed for now

drwookie.6391:

I honestly think all siege should be freely used by anybody. Like set up a system such that whichever team is the last one to use the siege, cannot destroy it (to avoid friendly fire).

You could also add a “cooldown” for changing hands…like the team that lays claim to the siege has to not have touched it for say…30 seconds or something. So if you storm a defensed position and the enemy retreats…after 30 seconds you can take their siege and turn it on them.

Then to add another layer, you could add a skill to every siege that is called like “Destroy siege” or “Dismantle siege”. Make it a skill that takes a significant amount of time to cast, but that way you can prevent the enemy team from taking the siege (but you have balance continuing to fight, with destroying the siege so they can’t take it).

Timer is cool however for “destroy” or “dismantle” as much as I would like this the enemy that transfers to other teams server just to hurt them could run around and destroy all the siege so I don’t think it could ever be added

Also to further the “cooldown” idea you could do it like you do to take over a point where you could run up to it and there would be a little popup that said “capture” or something and it would take 30 seconds or something to “capture” it and then it was yours until another team “captured” it. It could still be destroyed but not by the team that has it captured.

That would be cool in the field of battle where a team has setup siege and you end up pushing them back off it and then using on them

This is a suggestion for WvW. I think when an enemy takes over a tower/keep all siege equipment inside should then become the team who took over the tower/keep and not team who just lost it. To me I feel that it makes sense and would also make teams fight more for their towers/keeps.

As it stands right now there are many who cap and run and don’t defend. Well if the enemy can take over your tower and then gain all siege equipment inside the tower for theirs it would add another reason to make sure you defend ALL tower/keeps and not just run for exp/karma. Would make for a greater battle!

Here maybe you should watch this video.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Video-Thief-PvP-Yippie-Kye-Yay-6

I would also like to point out at 5:15 of the video you can see my complaint to ANET that has yet to be addressed about invis breaking entanglement. I posted it in bugs yet no reply.

Also name a class that can take on 5 people at once besides a thief. I think not because there isn’t. I would challenge anyone to even try and come close to what this guy can do with his thief. Yes he has skill but its backed with a way OP class. You can’t kill what you can’t hit. Fighting against thiefs my pet just stands there and doesn’t even attack you have to keep pressing attack my target but he goes invis before it even gets a hit in.

@sumwun

Not a sore loser at all you sick of hearing you guys yelling back in forth between PRO and the other guilds in your server. Also I hope you move up cheers!

Ferg person here (and I don’t talk for the server just myself) and to be honest i’m really sick of both DR and Kain server so I hope one of you moves up. As a ferg when we were top we got moved and you know what we got our &%#! handed to us for a week. Moving up a bracket hurts especially when it was against DH (we lost alot of PvP players that week as well).

I was really hoping that Kain would have moved up with all their EGO last week but alas I was annoyed that you didn’t (I personally think you needed it but I think ANET wants to pamper you like a little fluffy kitten as their… precious). DR I really hope you move up this week also. A huge PvP guild moves to your server and your in 1st and you act like they had nothing to do with and everyones attitude seems to STINK including PRO’s. All your bashing and crying back and forth between each other i’m tired of hearing it on this post and tired of your puffed chested move up a bracket and get your !#%% handed to you.

I log in and see that Ferg has the outmanned buffs and Kain has taken everything but DR’s home map and DR is not even challenging them? Hmm who was crying yesterday about teams working together?? Anyhow whatever just one of you move up (i’m sure it would be DR as they look to win) so that I don’t have to listen to this junk you people are posting in a 3 way WvW post.

So i’m in Askalion Hills keep and whats with these NPC spawning in our keep! Here are some pics as you can see we own the keep yet enemy guards keep spawning. This was in Kaineng’s home map I know Anet is cheering for them but….. Anyhow please fix this and the 100 other things you are working on thanks. Kaineng is about to take back (congrats Kaineng) anyways but next time we take I would not like to have the enemy guards spawn in our keep. Also can you please not restart wvw maps right when we take orbs so they reset

Here are some pics

Oh I see you change your tune and now it was we had a larger pvp 2 weeks ago….. When what that pic taken 2 weeks ago??

ahh i see i’m just making it up well here is 2 more outmanned buffs right now ya i’m sure you can always find a zerg somewhere and make it look like thats all there is. You are always going to find a zerg on the battlefield that does not mean we have double the PvP players that you state we have.

Also here is the map. If we have double the players as you state then we should just be owning the map

ok i’m getting sick of this posts now. Being a ferg player we do not have these tons and tons of pvp players that you talk about. I was the one that posted in another one of your chest thumping outmanned posts the other day and showed a pic of the outmaned buff on my computer. You guys for the last 3 days during the times I have been on have way more pvp players in every map than we do so please quit this ferg has a 2 to 1 advantage on us. In fact you guys everytime I have seen your zergs and my side has maybe 10 to your 20 to 30 you break apart anytime we start getting close to the numbers you have and then i see a post everyday now about how you just get attacked by double the players….. IF we have a bigger server then they are all playing PVE and not PVP just because it says we have a bigger server does not mean they are playing PVP so stop with the oh your server is bigger you have the numbers because they are not in PVP

just wanted to add this. I’m glad you guys have pride but like I said we are all on the bottom so we don’t have a large pvp group.

oh wanted to add one more thing it was funny about 30 minutes or so ago when about 25 to 30 of you were camping our spawn zone with about 10 of us there and about 10 of you rushed our spawn and dropped dead. LOL

you guys keep saying how outnumbered you are and yesterday being on ferg I had the outmanned buff on me many times and today its about the same. We are all at the bottom so its fair to say that none of our servers have a huge pvp base…..

Ok its bad enough that thiefs are just stealthed at all times because of bug but this needs to be fixed as well. I entangle a thief and they just go stealth and it breaks it. This needs to be fixed please. Actually there are alot of things that just breaks the entangle and the roots just stays on the ground. Its a super long cooldown as it is and half the time most of the enemy just breaks out.

would also like to add the cooldown for this is 2 and half minutes not like we can just spam it or something.

Running in circles doesn’t seem like to much teamwork to me but again thats just my opinion.

I don’t think that’s a fair characterization of GW2’s combat at all. If we’re going to be like this, I could say that “holy trinity” combat involves nothing more than staying put and using autoattack.

ok fair enough.

SevenSigma.7462:

scooby treat.8420:

I feel its a very bad model and promotes less teamwork. Which in that case you might as well go play a console game. Whats the point of a MMO if you do most of the content by yourself?

I don’t think most people feel about this as you do. Kotaku, Eurogamer and several others credited this casual system as being much more social and “multiplayer” than other MMOs.

I agree there is always 2 sides to a fence. Most of the players that feel they way I do have probably left the game already which is just speculation on my part. I do however see many zones empty and a small cluster of people around certain events and a small number looking for dungeon groups but they are very small. Maybe its because i’m on a lower server who knows. I do know at one time though my server had many more players than we do now and I don’t think they all just left for higher servers.

Having a tank hold agro’s and a healer healing and dps taking down enemies gives me much more satisfaction then having a group run in circles until the mob dies. Running in circles doesn’t seem like to much teamwork to me but again thats just my opinion.

SevenSigma.7462:

scooby treat.8420:

You never have to group with anyone at all except if you want to do dungeons

This is intentional. You just casually group up with whoever is around and doing the same thing. This is why all support skills are AoE, this is why there are no targeted heals, this is why you can share loot. You might not like it, but it’s intended and it was explained well before the game launched.

You never have to group with anyone at all except if you want to do dungeons
So to be different they got rid of the basic D&D model and went with something else

GW1 had heavy Magic: The Gathering influences. GW2 seems to draw from D&D 4th edition, especially the focus on mobility and damage mitigation.

Ok I should have said classic D&D. Also, i’m not saying that it wasn’t there intention i’m just saying I feel its a very bad model and promotes less teamwork. Which in that case you might as well go play a console game. Whats the point of a MMO if you do most of the content by yourself?

HERO.2057:

Hey everyone,

I don’t wanna write a big wall of text, i’ll try to keep my points short and direct.

1. Boss Fights
These boss fights are very simple, too simple for any MMO standart nowadays, people want to be challenged, i want to be challenged when i go kill a boss, the way this is, it’s just very boring to do any boss fight as there is nothing special about it, just like the 10 bosses you fought before.

Zaithan

hide spoiler

You would assume they would put all their skills into making the Zaithan fight at least somewhat interesting, well, you’ll be dissapointed, it’s pretty much impossible to lose and there’s nothing fun about it

2. No healing class

When you ANET were designing the game, did you at some point said “what if instead of healers, we added these waypoints where people can rez?”

No tank, that would be OK, but no healer? Every fight is just a DPS race, until you get overwhelmed and you just die, rez go back and try to finish the rest of the fight with a few more deaths.

I would like you to take a step back and think, this is not working out, it’s definitely not fun at all, you need to change and bring spark back into the game, i hope the next expansion includes a healing class, otherwise i cannot possibly see how can this game will increase it’s player base or keep the people playing.

I hear more negative things about this game than positive, mostly because ANET decided to over-hype things, noone blames you, you tried something different, but didn’t work, swallow your pride and give the community what they want, and not what you think they want.

I for one miss the healer/tank/dps but that is me as I am a old school gamer. In my opinion all you do in this game is run hit run hit kite kite kite done.. Run in circles is all you do it is one of the worst game mechanics ever in my opinion but in about 2 sec there will be a fan boy or someone who works on the game that has a fake user account to seem like a normal player come and flame me so.. oh well so be it.

You never have to group with anyone at all except if you want to do dungeons so it doesn’t promote trying to find a group much at all. Sure there is the dynamic events where you need players but you don’t have to group to do them they are more like a giant zerg hit and run type events that has no real teamwork. WvW is mostly zerg as well…..

I don’t expect them to change the classes at all because after all its there game. They did however lose a huge amount of people from the choices they have made in the design of the game. I went to game design shcool and you know if they really wanted to be different they would have made a different story. One of the first things I was told was stay away from making “end of world” games however about 90 percent of the games that come out are “end of world” games. Save the world!!! (its been done a million times).

So to be different they got rid of the basic D&D model and went with something else (maybe its all the new generation who never palyed D&D). I wonder what David Lance Arneson would have thought of the game?

Ronah.2869:

People are complaining so much about everything in the game that I only have one suggestion: Cash shop. A-net, make everything buyable in cashshop with real money not gems. Give the download for the game free and add in cash shop this:
SPVP pack access , WvW Access, Dungeon X-Y Access, Event Access, Zone Access, Skill Access, Weapons Access, Legendary Weapons , Dungeon armors.
So people who don’t want to play anything in the game and still feel they have all they wanted form it, let them buy it. They don’t want to do the story because its boring, They don’t want to do WvW because its required for Map completion. They dont want to do all the time events, they don’t want to farm for weapons or they want all weapons, all armors, all professions on one character. Lets them pay if they want to skipp all the content and see the end credits. A good idea could be to add all title and achievements in cash shop too so people wont feel forced they achieve one title they don’t want while grinding for others. Some people want to turn off exp form different things, others want to get more exp, so why not sell them the levels in cashhop. etc.

You don’t want to be"forced" to do this and that in the game? There is one simple solution: a skip button from start to finish so you get form lvl1 to lvl 80 with all PVE PVP WvW achievements for only 300 USD (power levelers are asking 200 USD but they don’t offer achievements too, so a 300 USD is a fair price)

So I don’t think you understand what I am talking about. So the 100 percent MAP completion is when you go to each zone and get all the hearts and all the vistas and all the little points of interests and skill points.

Everything was fine up until the level 70 to 75 zone where this is a point of interest that is behind a locked door. The only way to get to this point of interest is to do the storyline up to the level 70 storyline. ALL other maps DO NOT make you do ANY of the story except all of a sudden there is this 1 point of interest were you can’t get it unless you do the storyline of the game up to that point. why? There is no point having that point of interest behind a locked door so you can’t complete the 100 percent MAP completion. MAP completion is not GAME completion or STORY completion. Don’t make someone do the storyline to get MAP completion. Anyhow here I am wasting more typing on something I said wasn’t even worth the time of day to post after seeing what you get as a reward for doing 100 percent map completion.

@cinder

Well after looking to see what reward you get for 100 percent map completion ummm ya they can keep that point of interest and there super weak reward I about fell over and LOL when i saw what you get for finishing the 100 percent map what a joke if i could give it 1 million thumbs down I would. So Anet, nevermind….. Forget I even started this thread because after seeing what reward you get for all the time it takes to get 100 percent map completion it wasn’t even worth my time to even start this thread.
