Guild Wars 2

production qualities

-poorly optimization engine,

-poor class balance (heyo bunker condi spammers i in pvp)

-broken pve (just stack and dps)

-lack of features (no dueling in 2014 you f. kidding me? Also where is GvG in so called “guild wars”? I can continue but its pointless.)

-1 pvp mode, and on top of that the most boring ever

-no updates at all (i won’t call a temp contest a update which i don’t even have access to after 2 weeks.)

-no build varienty

-tons of useless skills/traits

-huge grind in “no grind game” even koreans (decent) mmos arent that grindy.

-stretched armors on charr/asura with tons of clipping issues, which are ignored to THIS day.

And everyday its getting worse and worse. Im sorry, what you said? Quality?

Sad, but true. A lot of stuff is getting ignored for way too long now…

Juba.8406:

there are no really good games around in general not just MMOs.

but also after playing GW2 for a year and a half and considering myself a gamer for 25 years, i can say with confidence that GW2 is on the top of my list.

ANet did a great job in this game that i recommend them as an example to other gaming studios.

Yeah, agree, not many good games around lately. And also, like I said, gw2 is good game and maybe the best mmo (that’s why I play it and not other mmo obviously), but there are so many cons and those are the big ones. At least for me. And unfortunely it doesn’t seems like it’s getting better. Few examples (performance, balance, bugs, perma content and a lot more ofc).

I’ll be back.

/15chars

Well, there are no really good MMOs around anyway, so that’s why gw2 is on top and maybe it deserves it, but that doesn’t mean it’s a great game. A lot of stuff needs to be improved and changed… It’s a good game, but no way near my list of top games…

Hello! We are still here waiting! Please give us some light at least.

Some light: if by any chance Chinese guys prefer self-replicating mesmers to solo warriors, we may get some fixes. If by any chance Chinese guys prefer furry chars to Caucasian humans, we may also see fixes to charr armour clipping.

But well, I highly doubt that charr mesmers would be the dominant race-class combo in China. But we can dream, right?

I’m afraid that Chinese might not even be able to fall in love with mesmer in the first place, because they’ll be immediately turned off by all the bugs… At least we were playing mesmer at times when most of these bugs were non existent.

I really hate using focus now, since there’s now only one useful skill on it, but unfortunately Temporal Curtain is just too useful in a lot of situations to completely give up.

Exactly my toughts. I can’t imagine going in dungeons without temp. curtain…

Anet, at least you could change descriptions of all our skills… erm… i mean phantasms to “50% chance to attack your target”, until you…. erm…. fix them?

“Good” thing I play gw2 with “Character Model Limit” on lowest.

Human warrior with twilight.

But let’s not forget how lame character creator is in gw2…

For great justice!

For a month now I have an issue with trading post, it simply won’t load. When I open Black Lion Trading Company, first one loads gemstore and that’s usually fine. Then I click on Trading post to sell stuff and this one fails almost every time. I have to close BLTC and retry. On average takes 2-4 tries to make it load. It’s getting seriously annyoing. Anyone have a same problem?

EDIT: It also fails if I try to sell stuff from my inventory. I click on item -> sell on TP and then TP window opens, but it doesn’t load, it’s just empty grey window…

“So I start public groups with the expectation that we won’t be stacking in corners. And the overwhelming results of this is that no one can fight the bosses on these terms.”
Sorry, you expected to not stack, that doesn’t mean they should not stack, they can play however they want. If you want to play your way, put that in description.

I do, hence the expectation.

“So now I feel stuck that if I want to use the LFG to dungeon run I’m gonna have to sit in corners and spam a rotation.”
This is why I said you have LFG, where you can make your own group and get people you want.

Ohh this is Subway? So if I ask for bacon I definitely get bacon and not a slice of cheese pretending to be bacon?
Dumb analogy aside, what you type into an LFG advertisement doesn’t magically garauntee anyone even read it.

Cute lil case in point; when I put “All welcome” i get people joining… Then seeing that as advertised all are welcome regardless of skill, level or class and then quitting. (Also sometimes raging… raging is however optional.)

And… “while i’m wearing DM title….” clearly indicates that you think DM title is something that would show how skillfull player is in dungeons..

No, it means exactly what it says it means… You’ve beaten every path once. Nothing more, nothing less.

I have never seen weaker arguments. You literally think not stacking is the only “right” way to play and you expect anyone to play like that. Who cares what other people like, right? And yes, if you can’t be bothered with LFG or finding a guild, then don’t even complain here. If you don’t get people that you asked for in lfg, kick them. Same as I will do with you if you ever get in my group. I’m done, your arguments are nonsense, you’re just disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing. Good day.

Alice.8694:

serialkicker.5274:

First, DM title =/= experienced at dungeons.

No kitten sherlock.

Second, LFG is there, so you can find a group you feel comfortable playing with.
You’re always free to make your own group and put in description “no stacking” or anything else.

I don’t know why the same thread is opened everyday, while you have all the freedom to find like minded players, you can even find or make your guild to get people you like playing with. I’ve seen a lot of guilds that plays dungeons with no skipping and some of them don’t stack either…

Didn’t read what I had to say, did you? Don’t worry I’m used to it around here.

Of course I did. Seems like you have to reread your post.

“So I start public groups with the expectation that we won’t be stacking in corners. And the overwhelming results of this is that no one can fight the bosses on these terms.”
Sorry, you expected to not stack, that doesn’t mean they should not stack, they can play however they want. If you want to play your way, put that in description.

And… “while i’m wearing DM title….” clearly indicates that you think DM title is something that would show how skillfull player is in dungeons..

P.S. For “stacking haters” I fail to understand how would ranging mobs be more challenging ?

Let’s take hotw troll for example. Try take pug that are not experienced there and try melee troll. You’ll probably get destroyed. Then try range him. It would be hilarious if you would wipe, it’s almost impossible.
And you call that more fun?

Zylonite.5913:

what is the point of LFG tool.

I ask that myself many times, since 80% of my lfg descriptions are ignored. If I want guardian, I’ll get everything but guardian. If I want ele, I’ll get everything but ele. If I want experienced only, I’ll get necro with 1000 ap that says “Oh, I haven’t done this dungeon, but I’ve done others”…
If I just put “p1” in description for example, then I don’t care who joins, I never kick anyone, but if I explecitly ask for something, then don’t ignore that. The worst part is that most of them actually read description, but they choose to simply ignore it, which then leads into kick and then probably some of them come here to make topic of how they were kicked for no reason.

Still waiting…

Still waiting…

Is it fixed yet, is it fixed yet!? ….

Lishtenbird.2814:

By “OP” did you mean “worth taking at all and not totally useless against 1 extremely viable PvP class”?

Yeah, i guess, hehe. But like I said, haven’t tested it really much and i was talking from pve perspective…

…. when you try to leap at your target, but instead you end up doing death blossom on thief.

Katran.9186:

I demand 3 gold and 20 sp refund.

Lol, you’re right. I guess i need to send support ticket.

Now, I’m confused, anet. Stuff that was changed and it was not in patch notes is intended, but stuff that was in patch notes was unintended. Are you kidding me?
To be totally honest, power block seemed like a bit op, since it ignored defiance, but i haven’t tested it much myself, so i don’t really want to say anything more. I just know that with this change, it’s certainly useless trait now. Like all the rest new ones (from pve ascept).

God forbid that we had skill bugged in our advantage, even if it’s not op at all, nooo, no sir, they will fix that immediately, no problem, but the skills that are bugged and makes us useless… meh who cares, let’s wait another 6 months for those huh? …

EDIT: talking about “Fixed a bug that caused Mesmer clones to receive rune bonuses from their master”, i agree power block was op in bugged state..

Reason: stealth nerfs and warden mostly. I don’t liek ferocity change, but at least i made my peace with it already. But breaking warden even further? I have no words…

Tell me empowering mantras in domination is a bug, otherwise i’ll lose even that little hope and faith I had in you, Anet. It is so unproffesional in my opinion what you’re doing with all these stealth nerfs.
And about warden…. You seriously can’t fix one phantasm in five months? If this game was modable, i’m sure modders could fix it in a matter of days, but looks like it’s too much for you?
I really can’t take anything Anet says seriously anymore. This patch was my hope that you’ll finally do something with this game. I was really happy that you’re finally focusing on some stuff that community was asking for a long time. I was happy that LS was over and it felt like game will finally get some tweaking, polishing, balancing. kitten i was wrong. I didn’t except you to pull of guild halls or somehting, i know it takes time, but i was excited, when you said you’ll fix some bugs… but now this….? If you can’t fix such a gamebreaking bugs, then wth are you even doing in this work?
*sigh"
I’m seriously wondering what’s anet’s definition of fun. I think eventually we’ll be running around naked with sticks and fight one mob or player for half an hour, because that’s fun and challenging for you, right? And no need for balancing either…

I stopped reading at the square, where you say “you instantly die at melee”. I’m sorry if you are one of those “zerk haters”, but forcing players to go ranged, just because you don’t like stacking, is a terrible idea. You didn’t even explain why players would die in melee range. My guess would be, there is no reason, it’s just you don’t like players stacking, so who cares if it makes sense or not, let em die anyway.

And btw, since when ranging mobs require more skill then melee? Don’t make me laugh.

If you want to play ranged, find a guild or a group and you can play it ranged. Every single dungeon can be played ranged.

Also, “If one player goes in downed state, npc dies…” What? That doesn’t make sense.

Sorry, but this is terrible idea. If they would implement such a dungeon, majority of players wouldn’t play it more then once.

P.S. One question for you: If i walk up to one mob in open world for example and hit him with my sword from melee range, is that stacking?

The best one is, when you see something like “2,800 ap min” in description, like i just saw now. Because, you know, when you hit 2,800 ap, you all of sudden become qualified to do smooth TA run. lmao

Zaoda.1653:

I am ‘overly sensitive’, need to ‘live with it’ and ‘get over it’. Got it. Thanks.

Well, you are, to be honest. Pretty much everything that Mirta said is true.
I would ask you: Why the hell do you care? But i know some people are more sensitive about such things than others.
But seriously, it’s a internet, you will always see comments that could offend you if you let it, anywhere. You don’t even know these people, you have never seen them. For all you know, they can be bunch of little spoiled kids or some sad people with no life or you know…. aliens!!! (joke)
Serisouly tho, just don’t waste your energy for people that want to insult you.
But like Mirta said, not everyone is necessary trying to insult with those words. It’s just a popular word for “describing” some things.
When i was a kid, some kids were using words they didn’t even like or understand, but you know it was cool to use them because it was “in” so they had to use it, so they were “cool” as well.

We are all on Piken Square. Doesn’t matter much really, you could just guest to Piken and do events and other stuff with guild. The only thing you can’t do while guesting is WvW. If you would like it in guild and the guild would be pleased with you as a member, i’m sure we could help you financially for your transfer to Piken Square, if you’d like that.

Thanks for answer. But I feel that it would be too problematic and I don’t want to be a burden to you even before I join Anyway, for now, I found nice, small guild on my server and I will see how it will develop. Thanks for kindness anyway

You wouldn’t be a burden. Like I said, if you guest on Piken Square, you can do anything with guild, events, exploring, guild missions… everything except WvW.
And eventually, when you settle in and if we are happy with you and you’re happy with us, we could help you transfer.
But if you found a guild, then good luck! If you ever find yourself looking for guild again, feel free to contact us.

Good luck with TESO! See you back in a month.

If someone leaves TESO, they don’t necessarily come back to a lesser game. They just find a third game to replace the prior.

Yeah, fanboys… They think if they don’t like other game, then no one else should or will.
I like gw2 and i’m not really excited for TESO so far, but i still find those comments ridiculous.

iFruit.6190:

Good luck with TESO! See you back in a month.

It was almost funny first and second time, but now.. even my grandma has more original jokes.

I agree on orange chat and npcs in dungeon. These two gives me headaches way too often.

kitten … fell for third joke today…

Wow….. so much negative. This extremely mild compared to some of the things done, and quite humorous to watch. Some of you people are are way too uptight.

Just because some of us would like an option to turn it off, and so we gave feedback to devs for the next time they do something like this, it doesn’t mean we’re all upset and negative. I’m not upset, i just don’t get it why they tought not including a turn off option would be a good idea.

It’s for one day.

You realize the amount of time to code a disable, test it, and push it would take longer than just dealing with it for the day? They have better things to do than waste time and effort on that.

Besides, it wasn’t you I was aiming at. Interesting that you felt the need to respond though. Psychologists would call that defensiveness a direct result of feeling guilty…

chuckle

So it’s ok to put bobbleheads for one day, but putting an “turn off” option would be a waste of their time and effort?

And i’m not interested in your diagnostics. It’s a forum and we are free to talk about the game.

I agree with HP of bosses being to much.
I still like doing hotw tho, I try to do full run every day, but It’s really hard to get a group, let alone a nice group.

If anyone is doing p2 and p3 daily, feel free to whisper me in game :P

It was fun for about 5 seconds… We should have an option to turn it off…

May I ask if any guild member is on Seafarer’s Rest server? This guild seems lovely but I don’t want to join it just to find out that everone are on different servers and I still have to play completely solo :/ I wish to explore and do some events with somebody from time to time

We are all on Piken Square. Doesn’t matter much really, you could just guest to Piken and do events and other stuff with guild. The only thing you can’t do while guesting is WvW. If you would like it in guild and the guild would be pleased with you as a member, i’m sure we could help you financially for your transfer to Piken Square, if you’d like that.

Agree with OP. This was my first reaction when i heard about ferocity.
This will add obsolutely nothing towards more “build diversity”. All it will do is making already boring bosses with way too much HP even more boring. Actually, now everyone will have even more reason to have full zerker team to not lose any more time for killing boss than needed.
Until you make some changes to fight mechanics, nothing will change with build diversity, so this ferocity change is just a nerf.

Call me crazy, but i’d love shortbow on mesmer

Same issue here. And then after this happens, i need another 10 tries to get back into game, becuase launcher is failing.

We are still looking for active, friendly, social players. Join us for the events, dungeons, fractals, wvw, pvp, guild missions and more.

Vol.7601:

Most items are reasonable. I have no issue with the armor/skin/select armor prices.

There are items in the gemstore that are useless and priced like they are not. Swimming boosters, for example, are ridiculous.

Underwater Farmers might disagree.

Lol. Swim booster = 75 gems = about 6-7g. Can you even get that 7g back by farming underwater for 1h? Even if you’re indeed that lucky, the profit you would make would be so abysmal, you would better be off spending that one hour for dungeons or something else to earn a lot more money.

I always tought “+1 character slot” is overpriced – 800 gems. You would think they would lower the price to encourage their players to try more classes and play the game longer, but instead, i can’t make ranger to try him out, because i already have all slots filled with lvl 80 characters. Well, i could of course, but i won’t, 800 gems is too much imo.

I also don’t know know why the heck is revive orb 250 gems.

1. Better targeting system
2. Better camera + 1st person view
3. Templates for saving builds for easy switching
4. Customizable UI
5. More details in Achievements panel (don’t know what paths i have done and what not)
6. More emotes/animation/titles
7. More customization and features for guilds
8. More content that you can join in as guild group
9. More modes/difficulties for dungeons: solo/3player/5player/8players
10. Please add more NON Justin bieber faces and hairs to character creator

P.S. Probably no need to say, but i’ll say it anyway, fix bugs and performance.

I have same problems for last few days… A lot of disconnects, guild chat messed up, and now whenever i enter a dungeon i have ridiculous lag, up to 2min freezes…
Needles to say, everything aside gw2 works fine.

Why a race change? That’s just illogical as f. You just did your whole PS as an asura and then suddenly you transform into a big cat….That’s just faceslapping the lore and your character history.

I can’t imagine people being bothered by that. Unless if you’re hardcore rper, thus you can’t imagine your asura becoming charr all of sudden.
For most people tho, i imagine they would just start their “new life with new char” if transformed. And no everyone cares about lore either…

It wouldn’t effect RPers at all.

They would obviously not be interested in a race change so they wouldn’t purchase one.

Nothing changes for them.

You’re probably right. I tought maybe if they want to roleplay as different character and they don’t want to lvl another alt. If they even care to get lvled up that is.I don’t know, I have no idea actually what are rpers doing aside for talking

I don’t know what i have typed in OP that makes you all think i’m complaining about “not being able to do an event, becase npcs are useless”.

I don’t know how ram got aggro, i probably hit it with aoe when i was targeting other mob, but i just stood there to see how npcs will do against ram. For the lulz. And they got killed.
I’m talking about immersion here, not about “oh kitten events are impossible to do, because npcs are useless!”

And I said “i come to a village and see 15 dead npcs”, not “i came into village and let npcs die in front of my eyes.”
