Guild Wars 2

My vote is “no thank you”. I’d rather see the dev time put into more explorable zones, more champions on timers, and more skins. I know i’m kittening in the wind by typing this out here, but can’t help to try.

Yes, i use it. I love it. I don’t care of its optimal or not.

I also know that the ANet dev team has alot more on their plate to worry about than my small issue, but i’m going to request it anyhow: Can we PLEASE have the “Yarr!” sound effect be a louder and pronounce? I can’t remember if i’ve ever heard my norn ranger say “YARRR!”

Same volume as every other spoken word in the game, but instead of a weak, meep of “yarr…” I am requesting a louder, more pronounce “YARRRR!”

I’m serious. I really, really, really want this change. I’m honest-to-god not joking or trolling. If you don’t believe me, check the norn ranger on my account.

Thank you

It took me a year to get the Dungeon Master title. Its something that i don’t have fond memories of. 10/12 hours of beating my head against the clockwork boss in TA Aetherblade path because the mobs don’t like they should or the scorpion zipline doesn’t pull the mobs as intended and then the insane amounts of un-dodgeable attacks the boss does…. It all leads me back to the same PvE fallouts that WAR had and leads me to believe that the content is really just a scenic route to WvW, where the difficulty is based on the situations you put yourself in.

Its just like the temperature. To one person, it may be too cold. Too another, too hot. Me myself, i think this game’s strengths lie in the exploration and WvW. The rest of it is a failed attempt to make something that doesn’t quite work correctly.

I have a difficult time getting Dragonite, when i need it. I delete stacks of Bloodstone, more often than anything else. So i’d say it all depends on how you play the game.

In a non-related topic, please up the drops on t6 mats.

Maybe its already been expressed, but i think if they would have coded it, so that players who already have level 80 characters, didn’t have to experience the “NPE”, then it would have been just fine. I don’t think the NPE is bad for brand spankin new players, its just uber boring for veteran players.

I’ve noticed that the Upgrade Slot on the new crafted backpacks, more specifically, the level 78 exotic ones – you can’t put any type of upgrade in them, aside from infusions. There is a normal upgrade slot and an infusion slot.

I’ve tried crests and raw gems with no luck in getting it to stick into the slot. Please advise.

Your Chinese Overlords say “Hi!” and “Buy moar gems plz!”

Yeah, i don’t like to post on MMO forums, because its typically trolls and etc with no real weight behind feedback, but Im just having a real hard time with this game and the honeymoon phase is finally over.

Listen, the art direction is great. The WvW is great. The PvP is fairly fun. I like the exploring parts of the game. The achievement system is also one of the true reasons to play this game. But the rest..well, it sucks. No, seriously, “alot to be desired” seems to be a compliment at this point.

First of all, i’m no spring chicken at this game. I’ve done my time and paid my dues. I’ve done all the dungeons. Obtained a Legendary. Spent countless dollars in gems. And if it weren’t for a great group of guildies, i’d of moved on long ago. Now, i know i’m not a minority here, so i’m not going on how i’m some respected member of the community who needs attention. What i am saying, is that i’m your typical gamer whos played a few MMOs in the last 10 years.

Anet, you guys NEED to stop listening to the god kitten ed Chinese. If they want a Chinese MMO, then they can go all out on Chinese devs. What you are putting out here, is an America and European marketable product, so your grindcore/F2P system is really starting to show in the most annoying of ways (aka, new armor and weapons gated behind gem purchases).

I realize its all about making money, so instead of forcing people to pay the sub rate at their leasure, how about expansions? GW1 is a beloved game. I think you were on to something there, that you need to look back on and re-learn.

As far as the “feel” of the game. This too, also sucks. Seriously, i feel like one of the queen’s guards or some Johnny-on-the-spot idiot who gets facerolled by any given mob. Its not challenging. Its broke. I’m not talking about some issue where i can’t dodge an attack, but seriously. The game is leaps and bounds more broken than what any given gamer can handle in a gaming session. If you want to cater to the hardcore kiddos who love breaking your mechanics, then market the game for them.

I’m sick of dodges not working or dodges not taking me out of harms way as intended. I’m sick of terrible game balance where the risk and work isn’t rewarded but with just a handful of blue and green armor, with MAYBE a rare(on a good night). Its just not productive at all to spend 4-6 hours trying clear arah, just to get 1-2 rares.

And your pride and joy – the “Living Story”? Well, ya did good with the Lions Arch stuff, but what happened with this whole plant dragon thing thats going on? The mobs are insanely difficult to kill. The mechanics are suited for those that love dying all over the place. I honestly see why you removed repair costs, because had you left them in the game, your fan base would have certainly dwindled more than it has by now. I gave up on this recent LS achievement set. It just boggles the mind that you can’t craft something that is both more accessible to the public AND a challenge, but you instead try to focus on making the stuff undoable.

Furthermore, your in game reps, the ones with “ANet” tags? I love how when events are broken the stand around and troll the community. Thats just utterly fantastic and tells me you only really care about the gem store and tell hell with the rest.

So much more to complain about that needs tweaking, but i’m sure this thread will be deleted, because you already know this game is broken and you can’t give it the care it deserves because of your Chinese overlords. No wonder why your mainstay devs are beginning to quit. I’m about to myself.

I think its the way we play MMOs. WoW made it fun to do alts and try to bring up a group of characters to play with and then they supported that need with new content fairly frequently. Skip had 8 years or so and we are still trying to adapt that behavior to newer MMOs that lack the same time versus reward formula that WoW has.

To overcome this, i think MMOs should only ever be played with one character just until the content has been played through and then skipping over to another genre of game until newer content comes out for the MMO to make it worth playing again.

I think the idea of playing one MMO for years on end, is a lost idea anymore that just simply isn’t applicable to the what is on the market currently. GW2 or otherwise. IMO, this generation of F2P falls flat, where more robust offerings, such as D3, that offer more content with little more than an initial purchase is where you want to sink your time, because there literally is more bang for your buck.

I agree with most everything said here. In addition, i’d like to add that the reward for the gameply is just too weak to compare to any other MMO out on the market. This is coming from someone who just spent 8 months working on a Legendary. Its really sad that any kind of upgrade is typically easier to accomplish with the help of the gem store.

Also, the broken difficulty level of some of the games more “chase” explorable dungeons and factals, as well as the new LS area is another source of contention and dismay in this game.

I think if Anet seriously doesn’t want to tackle these 2 issues alone and make the game more enjoyable, they should solely focus on the one good thing the game has going for it and thats WvW, since its painfully obvious they’re only out to make profit from the gem store.

Not going to complain anymore. Whats needed to be said, has been said.

What i did stop by here to post though, is that I haven’t bought gems in the last 2 weeks, nor am i going to until this is fixed. If you’re mad about this, just boycott the gem store. Don’t talk, take action.

Please get this fixed this week. This is ridiculous. Theres no reason for this lack of service on delivering a reward on an in-game competition. Its akin to not getting paid for a week or 2 week’s worth of work.

Natsu, thank you!

My GL recently turned me on to this and i set it up lastnight and have been playing it since. I’m a big fan, as this build is both fun and effective. Its great!

This happens on all game forums. You can find this much negativity on WoW’s general forums as well. If you REALLY wanna see unchecked bashing, try the Diablo 3 forums about a year or so ago. That was out of control.

I’ve learned to steer clear of forums, unless i have a question or i’m looking for a build. I’d advise anyone who dislikes the negative vibe most posters put out, to do the same.

Nobody can tell YOU what to enjoy or like, so do what makes YOU happy.

Dunno where this goes or even if it’ll make to those people who put there heart and souls into this game, but THANK YOU!

This game is awesome. The artwork is gorgeous. I can’t say enough about it, but thank you.
