Guild Wars 2

oh boo hoo, cry me a river.
i am dutch and i have never ever found an MMO i like that ever had or has a dutch server but you don’t see me whining about it, make a team or join a guild for your own language.
it’s what i do, i am the leader of a guild and we all speak dutch, no need to whine about something that will never happen.

my issue isn’t anything pointed at zergers, if you want to focus on speed rather then fun then be my guess.
my issue is how ppl tread non-zergers, they are seen as useless junk under the excuse that they should not be there and simply don’t belong.
sure, there are “some” groups who play for fun but be honest, how many are actually playing for fun?

if ppl just keep their foul remarks to them self then finding a group isn’t so bothersome, the game is there to have fun and relax and that’s exactly what i am planning to do.

what happened to the time when faster only shows how much a sucker you are, the time when playing for the fun of it was the most important reason.
i miss the good old days…….

Here is the explanation: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Feedback-Questions-Town-clothes-Costumes-Combat/page/18#post3823361

in short:
“we are being stupid and don’t want to bother making them just like armor pieces, instead we fuse them as one suit and block everything that makes us code a bit more lines”

i know exactly how it works in the background, all the had to do is add the town clothing pieces in the armor category and be done with it.
it’s nothing more then a 3D model, adding them to the armors would actually be less time consuming then making them the way it is now.
so they kinda did more work on something then they had to, they made a new system that becomes completely useless and never even considered doing the obvious yet wise thing, using the system that already exists to make town clothing usable in any situation.

the one thing i don’t like is that everyone who has a set of town clothing now has about 3 useless items in a stack, they are already unlocked so what the frack man?
would be nice if we could get something out of it, it’s already a rip-off to turn a set that can be used per piece in a 1 costume item.

when i buy a set i expect to be able to mix, now i have 2 sets turned to a mush of glued costume with no mix ability.
i ether want a portion of the gems back (like 60% of the full original cost) or a coupon for an armor skin set of choice, it’s only fair and shows real backbone to your customers.

heh, ill be lucky if i can play 30 minutes after patch….if i can make the patch that is.

…when you walk the streets and the moment you see a big group passing by you think “oh god, not another champ train”

it’s surely annoying, the patch is gonna hit around 21:00 and i am home at 17:00 >_<
i can understand the time difference and can’t really blame them, it’s just something that makes me a bit impatient the moment i am home.

Make yourself a nice dinner, call some friends or family you haven’t talked to in some time, catch up on that book you got for Christmas and have been meaning to read, or whatever, you get the point. Then the patch will be there before you know it.

not gonna work, the only thing that can distract me long enough is something more interactive and after a hard day’s work that’s the last thing on my mind :P

Nice of you to be so liberal with my free time to “Running the 5 cities” having to work to get back what is being taken away from me.

Again do the math for 12 character all with more than one set of mix and match towns clothes!!!!!

I have no idea why you’re talking about town clothes when they’re being taken away anyway. You’ll get tonics. Only head slot town clothes will even be relevant to charges.

which is a shame, in a way they are cheating the ones who bought town clothing.
they should ether refund some gems to equalize their worth or make sure the town clothing isn’t a tonic but a model/skin just like every other armor you see.

I’ll tell you what. All of my town clothes that is converted to tonics will be refunded.

I will buy charges with those gems. Win win win.

that isn’t a win, that’s a loss.
you might think you got your gems back but what really happens is that you lost what you bought, they just return what you spend on them.

So… you want me to be upset that the 4 pairs of khaki shorts I bought just to be goofy are going to be refunded and I’ll be able to exchange them for charges?

Sorry town clothes were never customizable enough to be anything other than a gimmick. Customization is armor. Infinitely more choices there.

facepalm….
no, i want all the town clothing to act like armor, you’re not reading correctly.

It certainly wasn’t that easy to “just don’t” in either SWTOR or Aion. I never asked for it but was forced into situations where I had no choice in both games.

what version are you playing, i have played both and never ever done any kind of PvP…..

physX is a better idea anyway, what TressFX has as a “new” feature is something Nvidia has for years in physX.
devs know it for a longer time, the tech is less new and it’s easier to learn.

tho, realistic hair movement takes allot of resources and as mentioned, it needs DX11 to work properly.

PhysX is a dead technology as it is based on X-86 code and is single-threaded. There is new tech around the corner but GW2 is DX9.3. They could update it, as they did with GW1 but it will take some work and optimization. Currently the game is heavy on the CPU and is single treaded.

it’s 2014, physX has evolved beyond what you think.

i use the crytek engine, it can be quite a pain at times (especially with textures >_< ) but it’s allot more powerful then what you see in GW2.
for one it has full physX and havok support and has realistic lighting that makes you wonder if it’s real or not, they even have tech they call the toad tech. (this shows how realistic they can render a toad, it’s just scary)

crytek is a bit to the extreme tho, there are other engines completely free that do quite some good work.
it does depend what you want to make, you can’t make a full 3D game with an engine specifically made for 2D work.
in case you want to sniff the goods, here is a list:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_game_engines

i just want her hair style……

GW2: usefulness

-some useful stuff
-removed some useless stuff

whoooo

make a huge dam, suck all the water out and recover old LA.
then make a haven where the lighthouse was ad make storage houses there, make a big market place where the LA center was and you have a central trading community within the game.
and please don’t make the market as empty as DR:
http://img8.mmo.mmo4arab.com/news/2012/03/21/gw2/gw1.jpg
make it bloom and act as if the market is overflowing with ppl shopping, even if most of them are NPC’s:

i would love the shades, i love the “the matrix” movies and walking around with my engi in a long coat and shades on makes for an epic battle.

i ones killed the shatterer and all i got is 2 masterwork heavy armor and a 5-slot bag, you sure it’s only low lvl?

this problem does come up with some of the free skins, some are lost because they were only town clothing but the wardrobe will change that.
the one piece i lost is the wizard hat, if only i still had it because that would complete my idea of having an actual wizard in battle situations. (i wanted to say wizard’s and then hat but the filter made that impossible)

the only political corrected way is to make cantha in only one country’s style, cantha is obviously more to the side of china so making it like china would be the best for all.
Anet doesn’t need to keep in mind the cultural differences (although they do need to design everything in only chinese architecture) and NCsoft doesn’t get in political problems.

-more achievements to zerg
-more bosses to zerg
-more areas ruined for a stupid LW story
-more whining about how easy X is
-more discrimination about how much you can’t play without DPS
and the list go’s on….

reorganize the GEM store, when i look in service i don’t expect boosters and other junk.
i expect character slots, bank expansions and other things to improve my account, things that are based on service.
this is how i would’ve done it:

consumables:
everything that is made for convenience and/or saves time but are a one-time item.

style:
all the skins for your armor and weapons, separated by type.(in both town clothing and armor weight)

boosters:
all the boosters.

finishers:
all the finishers, both current and new.

PvP items:
here are all the PvP custom arena tokens, custom arena time tokens and any possible future items for PvP.

service:
everything that upgrades your account, changes your characters and overall improves your enjoyment permanently. (so all perm gathering tools are here too)

makes it allot clearer then what we have now, i want to see character slots in service, not a tradesman express…

i don’t like them at all, not in GW2, not in any game in existence.
they are nothing more then a way to make money from (excuse the wording) weak-minded individuals, grabbing their money in trade for junk stuff.

with no LS the game is more alive, there is no mass LS farm and no LS zerg, just allot of players spread out to play the main game.
that’s what it’s all about, all the LS does is focus all the exiting parts in one small area, remove the LS and the world is more alive again.

when paying for a CE i would’ve expected the golem to at least work permanently, at first it was even just 2-3 day’s…….

my necro: “may grenth judge her path”

my engi: “that’s one bad future prevented, all i need is the dragon and my mission has succeeded.”

why are ppl so selfish, if there are players that are bothered with champ trains let them have peace.
it doesn’t do anything wrong, better yet, it improves the enjoyment of the game for everyone.

let’s go half way, 250 gems for all the tattoos.
it’s nice that they add stuff like this but a scar and a tattoo were in GW1 from day one, all they do now is cash in on skins that should’ve bin in-game from point one.

if something as small makes you cry a bit then the part that gandalf the grey fell would make you cry for hours…….and i didn’t.
call me insensitive but i have played games with emotions that would make you shake out of sadness, some moved me but only to a certain point (and i hate it when i look at game cinematic and my mind starts to work as an over critical game designer, it sucks the fun out of it >_<)

Shadow Blade.1324:

well given your chance at a precursor is meant to be higher the higher the rarity of items you throw into the forge is, you should just toss those ascended items in and hopefully get one out

and get the outcry again that they are to rare, yah good thinking……

lol. The one game that gives you unlimited, instant teleportation to almost anywhere in the world, from absolutely anywhere in the world, and there’s a problem with it costing some pocket change?

GW1 still smiles and thinks “you can travel anywhere for free yet it was never a problem”

Yes, and the only reason that game never had inflation problems is because every item was worth barely anything when you sold them to merchants combined with the relatively low drop rate of gear when in a group of 8. The flow of cash into the economy was insanely slow for a game with hardly any gold sink to speak of.

TP taxes probably nuke more money than all other system combined but the teleport fee helps.

lol, you really think ppl sold things to merch’s?
most are sold to other players with a huge price tag attached to it, just look for an armbrace and ask again how low the inflation is……you need 30 ecto’s for just one of them and ecto’s cost about 12K (as far as my memory remembers)

the only think that makes me sad is that i can’t get as exited about GW2 as i did with GW1, the connection is lost and the game doesn’t feel like i am doing anything more then rush through everything.

I hate this change so much. Unless ANet plans on balancing content to make up for the fact that you don’t have any traits until level 33 (which they probably won’t), leveling is going to be even more of a tedious chore.

They have already stated that they are going to balance early content to make up for lack of traits. Why wouldn’t they? It is an incredibly easy thing to do.

so AC becomes allot easier?

They could just as easily lock you out of higher tier traits and skills depending on how down-leveled you are.

uhmmm, AC is a lvl 30-35dungeon, i never said anything about a down scaled character.

why do ppl think that when a player dies it means the player was careless?
there is something called a situation out of your control, when you are faced with an overwhelming force, your PC lag’s/keyboard reacts slow or a bug causes your dead
it’s a bigger punishment then you think.

Dry Top, 251 years ago..

one thing is for sure, i was right to say GW2 looks nothing like GW1, even places that normally takes thousands of years to change are now completely different. (lust look at the frost gate and regent valley, one is completely open and they other all of a sudden is impossible to get, as if a mage looked at the are and said “screw it” and filled it with mountains)

yay, a guide about how you should play A.K.A. take a guardian or scram…..

it’s an interesting idea for sure, it would make the use of blueprints more global and it might make places like that more active.

I say we start some kind of petition to make NCSoft aware of the demand for Cantha and an expansion, so that they give Anet the funding to develop it.

sill doesn’t change the view of Korea and China…if they don’t approve then a petition really isn’t gonna do any good.

Cantha still exists in GW1…………….. If Korea and China were so distraught with Cantha then wouldn’t Anet delete cantha from GW1??? Thats the kind of logic I am getting out of you.

It is not like Anet would start WWIII if they mixed Asian cultures together. If that happens then I would laugh my kitten off. I would laugh even harder if countries involved tried to sue Anet.

People get easily offended these days even when the subject matter has nothing to do with them. Seriously what does Cantha have to do with Korea or China???? Absolutely nothing at all.

hey, don’t blame me, all i do is repeat what Anet stated…..

uhmmm, what about beards……my newly created human character really needs a long olds man beard.

not only that, the poll includes gold→gem, when you add something like that the poll becomes useless because if you look at it, almost 50% never buy them with real money.

Odona.8402:

My Ele, maybe because my other characters are not yet fully developed.

Naus the Gobbo.5172:

I wonder if the pants and shirts were removed from the store and turned into tonics because they otherwise would give people the option to get rid of trench coats and skirts.

They say it’s because of clipping, but nearly all of the armour in the game clips, so why would these town clothes need to be removed when the rest of the armour stays?

as we say in super hero MMO’s “clipping we can live with, restrictions we can’t”.
i really don’t care about clipping, all i want is the ability to use and mix town clothing with armor.

would be a smart move but then again, they are to much a gamble hog.
when i buy a dye pack with real money i better have guaranteed the colors i payed for, really have no use for dyes i can just as much get in-game for 10s.

in responce to the wardrobe, i hope they bring some of the free town head gear back.
i dunno what happened but i can’t find my wizards hat and i specifically made a male elementalist because i can finally wear the hat in combat.

oh and i love to see some beards, a long wizards beard would be so awesome

i just hope the WXP boosters are going to be more like a toggle then an item, deleting them is a chore in it’s own and i never ever use them……if only i could exchange them for normal XP boosters.
