Guild Wars 2

if there is really such a huge supply, it would be good to see them as a sell able thing.
maybe an NPC that has a passive rate, that way we don’t get tomes for 100g/pp.
something like 20 silver per tome to sell them but 30 silver to buy them, so you can sell them if you want but it costs more (in a steady rate) to buy them.

ps. the reason why i would not like them for the TP is because i know how out of hand this can go, a ridicules price for a tome will happen within a month or less.

so much for “use your brain” >_<

all of the HoT maps, the kessex hills in it’s current form (bring back the old please), new LA (a lions arch that doesn’t even have lions but shellfish in it’s decor misses the point)

the problem is that in GW2 there is no real reason for it to be darker or better yet, if players need a light source to see it becomes really complicated.
if we take a game like skyrim you can have really dark nights, nights so dark that you need to have a torch just to see where you are.
however, in GW2 only a small handful professions can hold a torch and they are used as a weapon, this makes it really difficult for players of other professions to have a light source.

i am all for darker nights but they have to add some other things to balance this out, an auto skill that illuminates the surroundings or a spell that has it’s own skill slot so you don’t get punished just to get a light working.

a story i can’t complete because i need X mastery unlocked is exactly the reason why it’s flawed, i never heard of a single game or book that makes you do something completely unrelated to the story just to continue the story.

Did you play the original GW NIghtfall as an Elonian character? When you get to the story quest “And a Hero Shall Lead Them,” Elonian characters need to attain the General Rank in the Sunspear Rank Title Track to qualify to continue the story. Depending on what you did prior to that point in the game, that might or might not be more involved than getting a particular Mastery.

knowing that the grind for the rank is extremely easy and the sunspeer title is the easiest of the entire game (i would know, i maxed it), you are comparing a meter with a kilometer.
and yes, i played it from the get go and even have the CE, GW1 however is penuts in comparison.

that looks better?

i just don’t like to team up, i am used to do everything solo and not fail.
one of my fears is that when something goes wrong ether i get the blame while it’s not my fault or when it is my fault i get kicked in the middle of a dungeon, failing yet another dungeon.

a story i can’t complete because i need X mastery unlocked is exactly the reason why it’s flawed, i never heard of a single game or book that makes you do something completely unrelated to the story just to continue the story.
also, using masteries to lock down a simple basic feature is just down right lame, it just shows how much they want to force mastery grind in our throat.
worse even, since they are not gonna release anything useful anytime soon they just use masteries to keep ppl busy, kinda the same effect as using fillers in an anime show because they don’t have the rest completed.

hah, try light armor.
i have bin trying to make a character with skin tight trouwsers, all i get are skirts and dresses.
one or two of them look a bit like it but there is always something flapping behind my character, the one thing i am trying to avoid.

i personally think that the skin should be shared as long as the set is from the same weight class, that way the whole BS about stereotype weight classes can finally be removed.

Keypek.5716:

You could go play swtor who does charge a monthly sub, barely puts out any content, constantly breaks stuff with no fixes, and still has most of their resources invested in their version of the gem store. Most recently charging people $70ish for a lightsaber skin.

tldr: It can always be much worse.

are we playing the same game?

last time i checked they released 2 expansions within a year, far more then the 4+ years Anet has pulled.

Ayrilana.1396:

Mavis.1463:

Do players who bought the game at release, at full price, get anything at all?
GW2 going F2P and still having to pay 29 dollars for an expansion is not fair at all.

They got a free character slot if they pre-ordered.

Paying $29 for an expansion is more than fair considering they typically cost much more.

i preordered, no free slot.
try again.

Phaedryn.3698:

Why have multiples of the same class? I get people who did it in the past to have multiple builds, but now switching builds is fairly trivial.

different characters/concepts, both in GW1 and GW2 plenty of ppl make multiple characters of the same profession.

of all of them only the quaggans have good dialog, the rest is just plane boring.
all i hear is someone reading it from a text book, there is nothing natural about even one single dialog.

i like to make concepts, ether from already existing characters or self made.
it’s problematic with the limited options in GW2 but the ones who do work are fun to work with.
i made the queen of blades a few day’s ago, apart for not being able to dye the back slot and not having the right hair style it came out quite good.

back slot dye channel
the reason why is simple, we have some awesome glider/back skin combinations but even while we can dye the glider we can’t dye the back slot.
it would be awesome if we could make the glider and back slot have the same color (if you use the same skin)

Blaeys.3102:

According to this article, they spent “hundreds of hours” to solve the clipping issue on an armor set designed specifically for a small percentage of the playerbase. They redesigned the core engine behind the game for runes for an armor set designed specifically for that same small percentage (which obviously took a really long time as well). Then there was the aesthetic design, armor animations and collection chains associated with it.

This was no small project (at least 2 years of development by most accounts) – all to develop armor sets for a small subset of the GW2 population that likely cares less about the look of armors than any other – and develop features that (specifically addressing clipping) that others in the game have been BEGGING for.

And, to add insult to injury, they have the gall to say that raids do not take resources from other parts of the game.

This was a colossal waste of time and a very clear indicator that Anet has lost any concept of who their players and long term supporters really are.

You do realize that one raider is equal to many casuals in terms of hours put in the game right?

People that raid usually invest and have invested a LOT into this game. I think they deserve the extra effort put into the content.
And it’s not like the armor is even made FOR the raiding community and nobody else. YOU can raid as well and get it – everyone can.
The armor is made as a reward for a specific part of the game that anyone can access. Yes – at this moment only very heavily invested players will get it – but that’s OKAY. It’s alright that not every casual gets every reward. You want it? Go for it. Nobody is stopping you.

wrong, only the most dedicated can, a casual will never ever get it period.
it’s not “okay” that only the most dedicated ones can have it, it’s okay if anyone can regardless of dedication.

i can’t even get just 1 single legendary, you really think i will ever worry about any added legendary weapons?

I crafted 5 legendaries since january.
I crafted my last legendary 3 weeks ago.
This week I finished a precursor collection and sold the pre (with 200g loss, just for an item that you get iwthin the collection)
And I have enough materials to craft the next legendary on day 1.
By no means am I a tp baron or rich.

Crafting legendaries just takes a bit of dedication, not spending the money on everything you see (oh this random skin for 100g (which is about 1/20 of a legendary btw) i will use for 5 days before i get bored of it! Or i’ll buy gems for 200g! (which is like 1/10 of a legendary already, lol!)) and being focused.

Pretty sure that just by doing t4 fractals every day for 3 months (which is the release rate of legendaries) you would get enough gold/materials to craft a legendary weapon.

all i do is open world and PS’s because all the other requires suffering trough kittens who only like perfect runs.
also, to me 100g is months of playing, pretty sure a legendary takes years for me to do.

the medium armor looks like the outfit we already have, seriously nothing special and looks more like a fast reskin with fancy effects.

that many ppl and they can’t even fix beta stuff?

Don’t jump your guns. A staff of 2000 people with several million dollars didn’t know how human faces work (you know we’re talking about you, andromeda)

yet the game is more finished then GW2 right now, almost 5 years older.
also, they already fixed that, Anet never fixed even the most simple things.

i know this is way out of place for guild wars (then again, i have seen worse) but i would like something more futuristic as outfit or armor skin.

i can’t even get just 1 single legendary, you really think i will ever worry about any added legendary weapons?

that many ppl and they can’t even fix beta stuff?

as long as it’s in WvW maps i don’t mind, however, one foot in PvE with that and it’s a big fat NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

the one thing that is just unclear to report are gold sellers, that needs an option.

Pretty sure that’s one of the options.

nope, i had plenty of PM’s from gold sellers but no gold seller option unless they added it last month.

the one thing that is just unclear to report are gold sellers, that needs an option.

the patch notes are lame, it’s like the same joke told every single time.
i remember the time when april fools was fun, even in GW1 we had plenty of things like tiny players with full size mini’s or gender swap.

Anet is getting more and more lazy, the only single thing they added with quality is the new outfit……and that after months of nothing.

GW2 never had an identity since they pretty much dumped the idea of guild wars and made a game that has nothing to do with guild wars, i am surprised you never noticed.

Maybe because the title wasn’t based on player guilds fighting each other? People keep claiming otherwise and yet I’m unable to find anything that supports their claim but have found sources from a year before launch that despite’s those claims. How could GW1 (and GW2) not have an identity because they lack something that never existed and never were?

GW1 has an identity, GW2 doesn’t.
that’s the problem here, no guild wars in guild wars 2.

don’t hold your breath, they love to annoy ppl more then they already do.
i ones asked to quit the blinking of the level up and other icons just above the map because my ADHD only makes me kittened when something blinks that should not blink but guess what they did, they made even more blinking crap.

be prepared for more motion sickness tricks to make you lose your lunch every single time.

GW2 never had an identity since they pretty much dumped the idea of guild wars and made a game that has nothing to do with guild wars, i am surprised you never noticed.

i recently tried the SR part of nvidia and love the big resolution, however, GW2 has a UI that becomes so small it’s unusable.

so what i suggest is an adaptive UI so even big resolutions can read text and see the UI properly.

all the HoM titles…..

They specified titles not from launch, which the HoM titles all were/

no, he asked besides core titles from launch, HoM titles are no core titles but HoM specific titles only available for GW1 players.

i personally hope that they will not do anything close to what they did with LA, keep the city as it is and don’t make it a battlefield.
i know it needs change but it can be done from within what we have, drastically changing every aspect of the city pretty much ruins the game more and more…

all the HoM titles…..

i play a game to release some steam, PvP only adds steam.

Annor.3128:

We’ve already had bunny ears in the game. We had devils horns and a halo.

I personally would kill to have a >> Maid head band << that could be dyed to personal prefference.

why not a whole maid outfit, would be a nice time to finally release the school outfit.

would be nice of the area doesn’t bombard every inch of the map with veterans and events, is it really so hard to make a nice looking area that spreads out the events and makes enemies move naturally,

you know what i don’t get, ppl die but the event still counts them.
if you don’t go to the party you won’t be counted ether so why…..

a more organized system to use your own music, a simple playlist doesn’t do when there are so many situations and just 2 battle options….

increase the custom music volume, even when i use a filter program to increase the volume of the music it still goes almost mute while the normal GW2 music almost screams trough my speakers.

all the talk about “optimal” and “viable” shows the problem here, every single build should be useful in every way.
if the game is only made for meta and endgame then it needs a serious overhaul, like completely change every single skill.

seriously, to me when a profession feels good to me the way i made my build then that’s the right way to go, if we’re talking about if it’s meta enough then i see no hope of making this game a fun game.

in GW1 i could make the most broken build and it still works, it’s the opposite of meta but woks just as.
in GW2 it’s meta or f* off, that to me shows the flaw of the game.

ether overhaul the game so meta doesn’t really exist (because every build is meta) or make changes that it’s hard regardless of build. (so now meta still doesn’t exist because all the meta builds are ruined)

If you don’t like Dragon Ball, at least it usually goes quickly so you can get the 2 rounds and get your daily. Though that jump-pad at the beginning is annoying.

I too found the snowball fight for Wintersday more enjoyable. Everyone kinda goes to the middle and dukes it out.

Yeah, also disappointed LNY isn’t more. It has a cool feel to it and people were telling me all about Cantha in the map chat (I didn’t play GW1). Kinda feel like that after 2 nearby holiday festivals that people are tired of them?

Still, like all the fireworks!

I wish they had quests and scavenger hunts like in GW1. Special minis and masks that become available each year would be great too. This would at least give those players that dislike PvP activities something else to do in order to participate in the holiday events.

the problem is that they don’t see beyond WoW quests and forgot how GW1 quests did, i wish for quests too but don’t hold your breath…..

vendors that sells something else then bell peppers etc.

destiny’s edge with a busy market, all with different food and other things to buy.

city’s that feels alive, IMO all the cities feel cold and dead.

i just hope that the next one doesn’t have a stupid pre-quest just to get to the new area, i still can’t get to the ice one because the third test is bugged.

You don’t have to do LWS3 story in order. You can start the third story chapter from the hero panel and skip the first and second chapter entirely, which means you wouldn’t have to deal with the bugged aurene mission

i did, i still need to do the stupid tests i absolutely hate to do, just try it and you’ll see.

if they want to add a new area make it accessible from the get go, i don’t want to do a stupid quest just to access it….

Comment number 293746 “i dont want to play to the game, I just want the rewards”
Why are there so many of these? i mean, when I was a kid, and still most games now, it was always that if you didnt want to domsomething, well, tough luck, you were locked out of the game. Stuck with a minigame in zelda? Forever out. Stuck with a sliding level in rayman? Forever out. Not enough health potions to kill that one boss in oblivion? Forever out.

Did gw2 really make gamers lazy?

i don’t like to play boring and stupid things, i do like to play to explore and don’t care about rewards.
i think you’re taking to the wrong guy with your rant, you would not watch a horrible movie ether.

i barely made the 4.5K AP, are you ppl so addicted that AP is the holy grail all of a sudden?

anything worthwhile takes time, just because it takes time doesn’t mean it is a bad idea.
i personally think the PS’s are worthless but they still get made with allot of time and effort put in to it, i see no reason why a race change is any different.

i know the problem, i get all kinds of bashing like “we need DPS not a necro” while in the long shot i do more damage.
i see ppl saying they need a guardian and a thief because of DPS but end up doing something several times because of glass cannon problems, i get in and kill a whole group.
i don’t kill fast but i can hold my own, i don’t even see why DPS is misused so many times while they are better off with a stable but successful battle.

i just hope that the next one doesn’t have a stupid pre-quest just to get to the new area, i still can’t get to the ice one because the third test is bugged.

just explore and use my own imagination to make my character interesting, if only the map parts were really connected to make a true open world…

grenth costume from GW1

would love the “getting home with a family” option, however, only if we also get our own home to go back to.
i don’t want to get back in a whole neighborhood and call that “home” without even being able to customize it the way i want it, it is after all my home.
