Guild Wars 2

I guess i’m the odd duck in this thread because I really enjoy doing map completion (including hearts) however I can see where some players wouldn’t. Redenaz has a great idea though with unlocking WP’s and I would also add removing map fog at the same time.

Bypassing content doesn’t affect other players game experience and it shouldn’t be limited to the few who are willing to chance exploits and game bugs so I don’t see why the OP doesn’t have a very valid suggestion.

Respond to valid threads regarding nerfs and bugs so we at least know WHY something was nerfed and that they actually RECOGNIZE bugs exist when they are reported

Musha.4025:

Seriously! Has anybody got an explanation yet? And if it was due to guardian traps, then nerfing ranger and thief traps, too, is NOT the way to fix it!

They never replied why they completely removed riccochet, i doubt asking about a modified rune is going to get a response from them.

I killed this boss and his minions 4 times in a row after starting the event and got zero credit for it, the icon on my map still says “earn 10 hero points”.

Ran a full repair and was able to log back into the game, lets see how long it lasts!

Zantmar.5406:

gonna start loosing customers at this rate

Doubtful, but if they added pitchforks on the BLTP i think their sales would skyrocket!

EDIT: Ran a full repair and was able to log in again, lets see how long it lasts.

Same here… what’s up Anet you’re acting like it’s a weekend or as if everyone who knows what they’re doing went on vacation

Perhaps they should just make the encounters to where you can increase the difficulty by choice. That way the people who prefer solo can move on and the people who want a harder fight can opt for the tougher mob(s). Of course the harder fight would return better rewards and achievements.

This has worked in several other games to pacify the elitists and the lesser skilled at the same time.

I wish there was a way to block anyone using the new titles in chat, all it means is they spent 5hrs in CoF killing braziers and as a rule they don’t have a clue what they are doing.

Silverstone.4539:

I totally agree. THEY SHOULD LEAVE IT AS IT IS. just because a few people kick up a stink they change it? what about all the people that were just happily playing the game. grow some balls Aent. You’ll lose my respect doing this change.

Because the game is supposed to be hard and not fun and grindy and because you won’t feel superior to others who don’t have time to do all their alts grinding and because reasons…

Open up 10 bags of trick or treat and eat 50 candy for 66% daily completion, i’m sure they’ll have it *fixed soon.

But still LOL @ poor planning.

Archy.1046:

Just let the low skill whiners rage quit. After a week or two they will be gone.

Quality > Quantity.

Let’s just hope Anet won’t be nerfing everyting just because of some cry babies.

That strat worked great for Wildstar, now there’s a small gaggle of elitists with no one to play with. It’s ok to be better than someone but when you use it as a weapon you become a bully.

DaShi.1368:

Anet give in. It’s better to have people play the game and have a positive experience than to never finish it with a negative experience. Please think of your players.

This exactly^^^

Just because a very few vocal minority want to get pounded to death every time they turn a corner doesn’t justify the difficulty of some of these mobs. Particularly the way they seem to dogpile on one person when facing a group. There needs to be some soloability in a game where you spend 90% of your time solo.

Norrag.8756:

This event sucks so much even the devs don’t want to play it with us cries

2 Minute long laugh from this one, thanks for keeping constructive!

I think most likely it went something like this:

{Voice from upper management} “We are losing population because it has been so long since we had any kind of event! Make something happen quick!”

{Voice from over worked Dev team} “We ca make a generic Mordrem invasion event and recycle rewards from the old Scarlet Invasion Sir.”

{Voice from upper management} “That will have to do, have it ready in one hour!”

Don’t be upset at the Devs for this events short comings, I have a feeling the blame lies much further up the food chain.

Please add this for legendary weapons and event items as well as crafting skills!

In fact why not just make one character on each account that you can choose what class/gear/training/traits/etc you want instead of having to actually swap toons!

Healix.5819:

If anyone’s lazy, here’s a javascript implementation you could temporarily use to setup an authenticator without having to use any app/etc.

Simply save the below quote as an .htm file and open it in your web browser.

… just don’t forget your secret key.

Yeah let’s all use some script that someone pasted in forums because that’s a super secure way to protect your info!

JustTrogdor.7892:

So I was a bit off in my prediction but I knew someone would find a reason to feel, “slapped in the face” over this.

Gotta hand it to you, that was a truly amazing prediction!

If this is legit how do accounts that have been using Authenticator for a long time collect on this offer??

I have tried for hours today to log on to the game with no luck. The initialization screen opens up and then it goes directly to a message that it stopped working.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, and yes i’ve checked for viruses and even restored my system to a point before the issue began. I also ran a -repair shortcut twice. The only change recently was when the “reserve Windows 10” icon appeared in my Taskbar.

It’s been changed to level 40 now I think. I remember a friend mentioning they had it slotted in their elite skill but when they changed it they weren’t able to switch back after the patch.

Does seem kind of a lame move considering it was a promo feature on the collector’s edition but I bought the heroic so I don’t have to worry about it
