Guild Wars 2

This really bothers me. I’ve played enough MMO’s where they have a decent amount of weapon and armor skins. However, in GW2 there seems to be a severe lack of weapon and armor skins outside of the TP/Gemstore.

In particular, when you complete a heart (or even random drops, for that matter), you go to the heart vendor and you see all of these elaborate names for the weapons and armors they have. Only, when you purchase those elaborately named weapons and or armor you find that its the same generic skin you’ve already seen a MILLION times since starter zone. This is really bad, imho. Not too mention, a let down. Is this something they’re going to look into at some point?

I will admit that I did not express well what I was really trying to say. For that I do apologize. What I mean to state about the lore in GW2 is that the implementation of it and the LURE of that lore is ABSOLUTELY abysmal. The lore is indeed there in GW2, however, there is a half hearted attempt at reaching out to the player and saying, “HERE I AM! Be fascinated”! This seems like such a simple task implemented by other mmo’s in such a way that it almost appears default. In GW2, they just can’t seem to get it right.

Question for anyone on here posting “I’m mad” posts; when’s the last time anyone of you went around the world just for the heck of it, exploring the maps and taking in the “lore”?

There is no “lore” in gw2. Its fragmented pieces of what could be lore in the form of “living stories” and your characters own “personal story”. However, in reality, there is nothing immersing about GW2. Entire maps are absolutely dead unless there is a Champ train or, at one point, when ppl were interested, the fps dropping “Scarlett invasion”.
One goes around to hearts and kills mobs to fill the quota of deaths needed and moves on to the next heart; thats if you actually feel like taking the long, lonesome journey of leveling through mapping. There is no engaging aspect to completing these hearts or the npc’s that provide these hearts.
GW2 is a great game, aesthetically, somewhat combat-wise as well but it just falls miserably short when it comes to engaging a player in their story. Sorry but that’s where I’m at on this subject.

The ppl that do this kind of trolling are players from another server which is not doing very well in wvw or has had its ego bashed in.

I’m not sure I understand this thread. It goes from qqing because players using rangers don’t know what they’re doing to rangers’ “bearbow” being OP.

A youtuber named, Brazil, argues that taking a ranger over a mesmer in dungeon runs is a viable position (due to the precision and frost spirit buffs); If I’m not mistaken.

Nevertheless, I must be somewhat the oddity because I’m not even sure if I have a bear in my pet inventory… I am, however, sure that I’ve never used a bear for anything. My reason being, I just don’t like how clunky they are… (Snow leopard/Lynx). I play how I want to though. Good day.

Okay, Anet.
1. Rubberbanding
2. Skills lagging/not responding at all while chat, world and character are normal.
3. Underwater weapon skills not going away after leaving water.
4. Underwater weapon skills appearing in the middle of an area and or dungeon where there is no water.
5. Insane lag-spikes every few minutes in all areas, dungeons, wvw maps and pvp.
6. Random disconnects.

Are we to believe this is a fault on our end? How do you explain underwater weapon skills appearing in the middle of a dungeon where there is no water (AC p1)? Have spoken to other ppl in game where they are also experiencing random Lag-spikes.

At least I now know I’m not the only one experiencing these crazy lag spikes. Even today, my underwater weapons are coming out and im not even in water… They also don’t go away when I leave the water for a minute or so… Anet, this is not cool. (central US, Yaks bend)

Been having insane lag spikes since, approximately, wintersday patch. This is not good. I can’t do dungeons, wvw, fractals; heck, I can’t even farm in fgs. This sucks, anet. What’s going on? (US)

Since the wintersday patch I have been getting really bad lag spikes. In wvw, pve world, dungeons, fractals etc etc. I have checked everything and to no avail. Coming on here and reading other’s post I find that I am experiencing similar problems; everything freezes for a few seconds, give or take, and then BOOM, it appears a whole lot has happened in the time I froze. Now it has progressed into me being kicked from server, today during fractals for example. Has anyone found a solution to this yet?

My only beef with this revamp is path 2. And here’s why, THE END BOSS FIGHT!!!! Now before you go calling me a noob and that I should go QQ somewhere else, listen. This boss fight IS NOT for pugs, which is how I do most of my dungeon running. I have been in groups where this boss goes down in a matter of minutes and in groups where people just /rage quit at hour #2 of being stuck on this boss. The end reward is just NOT worth the time invested in trying to learn the fight with pugs. This is something Anet needs to take into consideration. They have turned a path which used to be farmed into a path that is completely avoided by pugs (those pugs that know better)…That’s not what you would call an ideal middle ground. I completely understand if there are players on here that only run with a solid group of guildies and have taken the time to get fights like this down pat but in the same token they need to understand that there are quite a few players that do not. Now I agree that the previous path 2 boss fight was laughable and needed some buffing. However, its current status, well, quite simply its just a bit much. Anet, please take a look at this.
