Guild Wars 2

I don’t have a problem with this, I don’t know where people got the idea Revenant would be free, most MMO’s that release a new class bundle it with an expansion that you must buy if you want to play new said class, why should GW2 be any different?

Scribbler.8462:

Wait… I just bought this game the day before you announced HoT. Are you seriously telling me that I should have just waited for HoT to come out cause I would have to BUY THE GAME ALL OVER AGAIN just to get the expansion? Why is their no version of it without the core game? I don’t need the core game.

Well you see we already have your money, therefore who cares? -Anet

As far as I am aware no you don’t get a spare code because “Business/technical/ PR Speak”

a.k.a. Arena-net won’t give out a free “vanilla code” because no legitimate reason other than “We don’t want to”

Yeah I have to agree with OP on this one I like Bog Otter normally but he and WP have both been very quick to bundle all legitimate complaints into a box, label it “Entitled” and then ignore them

My biggest problem with the current packages is they favour newer players, now that’s great if you are a new player coming into the game, but lets face it Anet the majority of players interested in an expansion for GW2 ALREADY PLAY GW2, offer us current players maybe 2 other packages that just include HoT, maybe a standard HoT for 30$ and a deluxe for 35$ or 40$ if it has enough in it? Also you guys can’t spare a character slot for the expansion? Are you really that desperate for money? HoT should come with a character slot simple as that

Meh, I was excited back when they were showing it off at Pax, then when they didn’t give us a release date, I lost some interest, since then my excitement has been steadily eroded away by silence regarding any type of major announcement, such as a release date or the size of the expansion

I am in the exact same situation as you, I was expecting HoT to drop in Late June/Early July so that we could play it over the summer, but as time passes and we still have no word on a release window, it looks like they are aiming for late August, now if that is the case A-net HAS to do something to keep players interested in the live game, yeah yeah the camera changes and stability changes are coming, but lets face it those are just balance changes or minor improvements to the game. We need something content wise, either SAB needs to return with alot more levels, or we need some event to happen to bring us all back, because right now, I haven’t logged in and actually played for a few weeks

Now to address some counter points: No I don’t consider beta events to count since the PvE ones are closed beta and are very difficult to get into, not to mention very limited as far as to what people that got in can actually do, and the WvW ones are again, likely to have a time limit associated with them. Not to mention players like me who don’t WvW have no interest in them.

Another counter point some might say is “Well we have the new specializations system coming into the game” again the base changes to traits are just UI tweaks and balancing, and as far as I know Elite specializations are NOT dropping before HoT, if I’m wrong about that please tell me. Not to mention yeah we know this update is coming before HoT, but “Before HoT” doesn’t tell us anything considering we still don’t know when HoT is supposed to be coming, for all we know they could drop the new specialization update 1 week before HoT comes out. sigh Come on A-net you need to do one of two things, announce a release date for late June/Early July, which is highly unlikely considering how dodgy you’ve been about a release date, or release some major content update to keep the player base interested

Jeez, I’m expecting it to drop in Early August or Late July, if its any later than that well Anet really messed up by announcing the expansion and getting all the press in WAY too early, there’s already going to be a bit of backlash when it doesn’t drop here in June. I get the whole “Oh they want to hit the anniversary” but here is the thing, back when GW2 dropped nobody cared as much, since it’s a new game, GW2 could have been a terrible MMO for all we knew, but this is an expansion for a game alot of people already love and it’s adding a ton of features. Including a new class may I remind you, dropping in late august would seem to me like a slap in the face, since that’s when College restarts for me and the last thing on my mind at the end of August will be GW2, I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one. From a business standpoint if HoT is dropping any later than August 17th, they shouldn’t have talked about it back in January

I think I mentioned this awhile ago, but this bug still hasn’t been fixed to me, basically whenever I change maps, either move to a new zone, or go to a different “server” the game crashes on me, oddly this has only been occurring very recently as of now, the rest of the day I have had no issues, maybe it’s maintenance related?

Pretty sure it’s completely random and not based on anything, any “theory” has been shot down since some people that have literally just bought the game and signed up got in, they just took everyone that signed up for the newsletter and then just randomly picked user-names… Bit disappointing I didn’t get in but, I guess what can you do?

Pretty sure these black bars aren’t supposed to be there… the image seems to be in a lower resolution then pre-patch

Ever since the latest update, my game has been very unstable, swapping maps when within a zone, either joining a taxi or for the “volunteer” buff causes my game to crash

I just hope I can get in XD, not sure how they plan to select players for this and exactly what they mean by a “small” pool of players, that and I really want to try out revenant since its mechanics and theme have made me want to main it, that and of course balancing issues will be something that I would enjoy discussing with other testers, presuming we can keep it civilized anyway

My only hope is to get in whenever they start handing out invites XD, well that and I really want to try revenant for myself since it’s theme and play-style is making it look like it will be my new main, already have a character backstory figured out… Man I have way too much time on my hands XD, that and maybe some more of the masteries, yeah gliding is cool but the other ones are just as interesting to me

Wasn’t it confirmed at some point that you DON’T get to change anything regarding the legends skills? The arrows are only their to change the order of the utilities, each legend gets 1 heal skill, 3 utilities and 1 elite, and you are locked into those

I’m not disagreeing, I think that some neutral skills wouldn’t hurt if their is one skill on a legend you don’t like but I think that arena-net have already kind of decided and locked in this idea of having a legend and having each legend have 5 skills and not being able to change those skills, but who know’s maybe they’re are more “neutral” skills we haven’t heard about yet?

They are a back-piece, so you can go into equipment and toggle “show/hide” your back-piece

I’m sure that A-net will come up with something and even if they don’t, ehh I’m sure I can come up with some Lore reason for why, maybe I was a guardian and then became a revenant, also has it been “Officially” confirmed that Rytlock is the “First” Revenant? I know he is the showcase for the class and on POI episode 17 they said something to that effect, but lore-wise, this type of magic, or something very similar to it, has existed before, specifically in GW1 since Revenant seems to draw from multiple professions from GW1 i.e. Durvish (Dunno if I spelled that right XD) and Ritualist

Nothing has been confirmed yet so only Arenanet know’s and that’s assuming they have decided that yet

However I do think it’s VERY likely, considering the only thing A-net seems disappointing in (and rightfully so imo) is the RNG nature of the precursor, which they will be changing

As for the other components, I will be surprised if they aren’t the same as the Old Legendaries, A few reasons:

#1. These are Legendary Weapons so it would make sense for them to be very similar to craft as the “old” Legendary Weapons, if it was legendary armor or trinkets then I could see it being different but yeah

1. We are all presuming (don’t know if its been confirmed or not) that this new system will allow you to obtain both the “new” precursors and the “old” precursors so it would be rather weird to have 2 different “types” of legendary weapons that have different ingredients but the precursor’s are obtained in the same way

Yeah exact same problem with me, I have gotten news in the past from GW2 regarding Living World updates, but I wasn’t sure if I needed to sign up to HoT separately, I have tried multiple times and I never get any emails

I’ve read through this thread and I can see people’s point “logging in once every 2 weeks isn’t a big deal”

BUT what about this situation?

I have a friend who just started GW2 and hasn’t played it since the living story, so now he has to pay like 20$ just to get caught up as far as the storyline goes,

Now to people like me and possibly you, no big deal we play this game CONSTANTLY and have no problem throwing 20$ at anet to support them

But from the perspective of my friend a brand new player, hitting a pay wall the second he finishes the Personal Story might be somewhat of a turn off…

I hope that when season 2 is complete they just offer the entire season at a discounted price as opposed to having to pay 200 gems for each episode, maybe 1200 or some type of discount for the whole season? Just a thought for your newer players Anet, I’d hate to see them feel nickeled and dimed right out of the level 80 gate…

As for season 1, honestly? Their wasn’t hardly any instanced content to begin with, unlike alot of people I LOVED SEASON 1 I thought scarlet was a very interesting villian, thought I am glad that we are back to dragons, I still enjoyed it. HOWEVER most if not all of that content was completely zergy so I’m not exactly sure how Anet intend’s to bundle it in with the current living story model, I guess I won’t judge or throw out random ideas but just something to keep in mind Anet

Everywhere you say? Been playing since launch never got one myself, if they are dropping “everywhere” maybe some people would consider spreading the love and donating a few of em to some other players? Yeah just because your friend got insanely lucky and happened to find a precursor doesn’t mean “they are dropping everywhere” also legendaries have lost all prestige so stop pretending like they should have more prestige, at this point they are just overly fancy ascended skins and Anet has done NOTHING to suggest that they want legendaries to be “prestigious” considering most of the stuff involved in getting them is simply grinding for hours

Honestly I think that precoursers should be dropping more frequently or their should be an alternate way of getting them, because at this point, people that already have a legendary can spread it to any other character, and those who are working towards one have an almost impossible task because of the insanely bloated prices of the precoursers

so in conclusion precoursers aren’t “dropping left and right and everywhere” otherwise the prices on the TP would have tanked to gasp achievable levels by now

Legendaries have no prestige as far as skill they are literally just shiny skins that cost an insane amount of in game currency, fractal skins actually have some prestige because they require running fotm one of the few parts of the game that can actually prove challenging

A1: I don’t know too much about WvW or the EU standings but as stated above, check out the WvW forums, (although I’ve heard its pretty toxic over there) also WvW is very much a large scale mode and if you aren’t already aware, their is an alternate PvP mode called “The Heart of the Mists” that is much more intimate with its fight as its a simple 6v6, if your more into individually making a difference that’s the place you’ll want to go, as far as WvW goes, again IDK about EU servers but generally try to join a server that has a higher population if possible, since that might mean more WvW players on that server

PS: Once you hit level 80 and you need some experience consider heading for a new area added to the game called “The Silverwastes” this level 80 area is very similar in mechanics to WvW, but is focused on PvE as opposed to PvP, it would be a good way to “get your feet wet” with the mechanics behind WvW and what to expect

A2: General consensus is a very difficult thing to discern on account of the toxicity of the community, (heck any community on the internet) but what I can tell you from my perspective as a long time player of the game since near launch and several other friends and acquaintances, the game is very well loved and for good reason, it has some minor flaws in it, especially when it comes to more difficult content but more recently the devs have added several new area’s that could be considered more “hardcore” than the usual areas of the game, that and if you don’t know GW2 has a system called “The Living Story” the idea behind this is every 2 weeks or so a new patch goes live that advances the main plot of the game, as of now though the previous patches will be locked as you weren’t logged in at the time of release, so I believe that you have to purchase the previous patches via in-game gold, or the premium currency, if you have no interest in story however, the Living story has also added a few new maps to the game that are available for free

Overall yes the game has it’s flaws but its very well loved.

A:3 as far as your character creation, nothing is considered “broken” or “boring” it all just depends on your play style, nothing really to avoid, just go with whatever race and class seems to suite you, however I will say if you have played MMO’s before any of the classes will probably be easy enough to understand so just go with whatever catches your eye,

If you’ve never played an MMO before however, I would recommend trying one of the simpler classes out just to get a feel for the game, examples would be Warrior/Guardian or Ranger, these are generally the easiest classes to understand and play, I must stress though the game is easy enough to understand and if you really want to don’t feel afraid to try out a necromancer or elementalist or even engineer if none of the 3 simpler classes really suite you

A4: On launch the game was kind of intimidating but recently the game has quite a few tutorials and basics built in, what I will say though is when leveling early, crafting isn’t a bad idea if you can afford it, and there are quite a few basic crafting guides on the game too get you started, if crafting isn’t really something you want to do don’t worry, just run around the area that you start in and you will encounter several things on the map too help you level up, Hearts (Quests) can be found in several places and are very good for leveling up, just find a heart and complete the tasks until the bar is filled, also WayPoints will help you travel around the map and give some more exp

I can recommend a guide on youtube that is very much a “beginner’s guide” for people who haven’t played MMO’s or GW2 before:

Mods please let me know if I am breaking any code of conduct rules by posting a link, if so sorry and feel free to edit my post :p

That’s pretty much all you really need to know welcome to the game have fun!

Had a friend that recently bought GW2 and just started up, joined my home server Borlis Pass, after about an hour he was booted and then for some reason DragonBrand became his new home server…

What gives?

Meluna.1764:

Refine ascended materials is the standard way to do it. at 450 the reciepes should have unlocked in your list.

You mean the Spiritwood planks etc?

Tried crafting a few but didn’t seem to give much but ok Ill give that a shot thanks!

Currently crafting with huntsman and finally hit level 450 crafting, but I don’t understand how to level up to 500 from here, do I just craft more exotics or is their some ascended recipes that give extra exp for 450+

Since all the ascended recipes seem to be for level 500 crafting only, I am not sure how to level up past 450, do exotics still give decent exp or what?

Or did I just screw myself over because anet hasn’t thought this through properly?

I know this has been talked about alot and the devs have already looked into adding this
but I haven’t seen much talk about it right now,
What I would like to see in the future is legendary armors that correspond to class/race or even once specific legendary

Example: If someone had the legendary greatsword twilight, maybe a legendary armor could be added that has a similar effect, heck if the player had both the legendary and corresponding armor the legendary effects could become more noticable?
IDK how it would be added I just would like to see it added in one form or another

Khisanth.2948:

That is how it is now. You can go find the post by Devon Carver if you want.

Thank you for confirming!
(man Im happy I have almost all my badges of honour XD)

I am actually wondering if the chest in the Mistwrought Vault in WvW was nerfed

Before a recent patch I could do each of the 3 every day on all 5 of my characters
(suggesting the chest dro kitten oulbound)

After recent patch I can only get each chest once per day on 1 character
so can you only run it on an account once per day instead of once a day per character?

Basically originally I could do my Borderlands Mistwrought chest once per day on each of my 5 characters
now I can only do it once per day on 1 character
suggesting that you can only do it once per day per account?
can someone confirm this?

@ Mirta:

The devs even disagree with you, they once said something like “we sympathize, we are gamers too and some of us love to farm, it should be there for these people”

I can’t remember where it was said, but I thought it was Colin saying it in some podcast

ya I mean, legendary give people a reason to farm. Else farming serve no purpose.

I think grinding is just part of every mmorpg. And that’s something mmorpg players have to accept.

exactly I want to farm and grind but all the nerfs for farming just makes it more and more difficult to get a legendary (an already rather daunting task)

Look my main problems lie with the t6 mats, the precourser and the lodestones
the t6 and lodestone drops have been nerfed considerably driving the price up to insane levels … everything else is doable but it gets to the point when I have to spend 600+ gold just to get t6 materials and lodestones (not even counting insanely high precourser)

and all thats happened in addition they have made it more difficult to make gold making it even more difficult to afford said items (unless you go to a gold seller or are the 1% of the pop. that manages to play the tp)

Wukunlin.8461:

Basically they don’t want people farming/grinding in their game but a lot of skin recipes absolutely requires a load of farming…. so umm…. :S

exactly it makes zero sense all the cool skins (legendaries) require lots of grinding and farming so what do they do?
they turn around and nerf farming to make it very difficult

I think they just expect ppl to go to gem store
but honestly I would rather leave guild wars 2 or go to a gold seller (probably would quit before going to gold seller though)

anyway anet has the wrong mindset all nerfing farming does is drive people away, it doesn’t motivate people to keep playing

rogerwilko.6895:

thewaterguy.4796:

Nerfing things is not a fix all solution and catering solely to casual gamers will not work out for you…

I doubt you have any idea what a casual gamer is, and how GW2 feels for one.

I have zero against casual gamers and if you don’t want to farm for a legendary fine by me, but why is Anet punishing its more active players by discouraging farming?
If you don’t want to grind thats fine by me be a casual player and just enjoy the game
BUT why can’t GW2 cater to both parties?
it caters fine to casuals who just want to explore the world (which is epic by the way)
but its punishing its hardcore players who want to grind and farm to get a legendary with all these constant nerfs…

(personally I think anet is just greedy and wants people to buy stuff on the gem store with real world money but they forgot ONE THING all nerfing farming does is encourage gold sellers, because they are alot cheaper then the gem store)

Mirta.5029:

thewaterguy.4796:

why can’t we farm in this game? I want to farm, its the first mmo I actually enjoy farming in
why can’t farming be an option for people that like to farm?
I am not against casuals that just want to play the game
but if I want to farm I should be able to farm
preventing farming is just terrible game design

because this game is not about farming. There are plenty of MMOs that do allow farming. This one doesn’t. Most new ones don’t. And I would say that it’s a step in the right direction.

and if some people want legendary weapons?
I just really don’t understand Anet’s mentality
I got 100% map completion I’ve seen all the world has to offer
now what?
other than a legendary what else is their to do?

Mirta.5029:

thewaterguy.4796:

Why is Anet nerfing every single farming location that players find?

Because this game never intended to allow you to farm in the first place. Hence in launched with diminishing returns in exp, money and loot.
Why keep nerfing things you ask? Because people like you still didn’t get the point that you are not supposed to farm in this game.

why can’t we farm in this game? I want to farm, its the first mmo I actually enjoy farming in
why can’t farming be an option for people that like to farm?
I am not against casuals that just want to play the game
but if I want to farm I should be able to farm
preventing farming is just terrible game design

Why is Anet nerfing every single farming location that players find?
Diminishing Returns, Lodestone/Loot drop rate

WTF Anet?

Why are you discouraging people from playing your game so much?

And please before people bring out the old “GW2 is built for casual players”
it that was the intent its a dumb intent, if GW2 is to survive it has to cater somewhat to hardcore MMO players, I love the revamped combat etc. but I want to have legendaries be possible to obtain…
i’ve farmed for 3 months solid now and still have all my t6 mats and precursor to go in addition to 100 onyx lodestones, 200+ oricalcum ore and about 170 ectos…
You are nerfing farming locations why?

You say that you didn’t expect people to get legendaries so fast?
how does that make sense? if people love a game and something in the game they will spend hours to obtain it I don’t understand why you want to slow down people from getting legendaries…
It was hard enough after plinx karma chain got nerfed and then the nightmare of Diminishing Returns occurred, but you just keep nerfing things?

Why?

Nerfing things is not a fix all solution and catering solely to casual gamers will not work out for you…

also don’t pull the “just play the game and have fun” what if I find grinding fun?
I like to grind if its achievable because if I grind I feel like I accomplished something at least in this game, then the nerf’s happened…

If its not reversed soon me and your player population will leave, heck you’ve already lost a lot of your player base

sigh can we please get a compromise in place Anet?
Besides most people that want mounts are asking for mounts that are PURELY cosmetic and have no effect on speed
I don’t see a problem with this and if having them in towns is a problem then fine

I really don’t understand why this was ever implemented is this an anti-bot measure?
the bots are all gone for the most part by now so I really don’t see the point of it
it justs forces people to stop playing the game after awile and go do something else
this is really starting to annoy me as it makes grinding incredibly longer and more tedious

oh yeah remember that promise of “Oh this game will not be designed around grinding.” get real a legendary was grind heavy without diminishing returns (I was ok with it before the DR HIT!!!) also ITS THE ONLY THING TO DO AT LVL 80

DR just please remove them they only encourage people to buy gold illegally to speed up the process

Hiya

Specifically I am wondering what you guys think about the current proffesions in guild wars 2
what ones need more weapons too choose from?

For me I honestly think that the two professions that have really been screwed over are mesmer and ESPECIALLY Elementalist

Mesmers could maybe use access to a few more weapons (IDK maybe warhorn, bow and axe?)

but Ele’s REALLY have it bad
they have access to 4 weapons, scepters, focuses, staff’s and daggers (not counting underwater)

It would be nice to see ele’s allowed to use axes/sword, or maybe even a shield for better defensive?
Just a thought

anyway what are your thoughts on this?

Need this thread closed please
fixed the problem

crap… didn’t read that part about the “no precourser scavenger” part…
thanks for pointing it out anyway
I’m thinking its time for a long vacation from GW2 at least until the precoursers are a little bit more obtainable,
but once again people chill out

An extremely hot topic amongst GW2 players is legendaries and in particular precursors

I think most everyone can agree that they need to be easier to obtain, but not so easy that everyone suddenly has a precourser,

The solution? Is already in development people!

The precourser scavenger hunt!

This is something the devs are working on to help with nerfing the precourser price,
and from the time its taking to be made it tells me that they are taking it extremely seriously, and its also the reason I am not complaining about legendaries anymore
I suggest that we wait and ask the dev’s for possibly more info about the scavenger hunt and a possible release date (politely)

What should we do in the time it will take for the scavenger hunt to finish?

Farm for the other parts of the legendary, I know of alot of people that are farming for precoursers FIRST
People the other sections (the 3 gifts) are very obtainable farm for them and if you already have all 3? I guess keep farming or if you feel like it try to get 2 sets of the 3 gifts for a second legendary

but I digress

please people just chill out and try to hold out for the scavenger hunt and maybe try to get more information on it.

EDIT: I am now aware no mention of a precourser scavanger hunt was made…
now I see why people are a little bit upset but I KNOW that the scavenger hunt is being worked on slowly

Shanna.4762:

I don’t really think mounts are necessary for this game at this time, if they added regions that are infinitely open and very large terrains then maybe…I’m not opposed to it, I just think the game in it’s current state doesn’t really need them. Part of enjoying the game is running around exploring, taking a look at the scenery etc..Concept Art is always about promoting a specific atmosphere, or feel to something rather than being taken at face value, and expecting it to mean something related to the content very specifically.

Yes mounts would be an awesome edition and I would love to see them added to the game at some point as an option
However right now I think this game needs more armor skins and types of weapons,
Mounts are a great idea but the game needs other things first…

However this should NOT be a forbidden topic and I’m tired of seeing people yell at each other for discussing it or having the “audacity” to even consider them

I get the whole WP mounts are useless argument in theory but still they should be an option

First before you rage at me for this
Please hear me out
(trust me last time I tried talking bout this in LA I got yelled at by a bunch of overzealous GW Vets and told to go back to WoW)

The idea of mounts is a sensitive topic among players of GW2
Some people absolutely LOATHE the idea for no other reason then “It wasn’t in GW and we don’t want another WoW clone”

Others (Like me) Like the idea of having them as an option in the gem store
the broom was a good addition in my opinion
I understand the whole argument of “What would be the Point”
I see that Waypoints are a great way to get around in and this would be a great Idea

I am asking why can’t mounts be an option for people that like that kind of thing?
Last time I suggested they be cosmetic I was told “**** cosmetics U FAIL LOLZ”
but this game is in desperate need of more armor and weapon skins and I think personally mounts could help that out a bit?

I don’t know just my opinion and this is more I get tired of people being overzealous and flaming people that dare want something in GW2 that wasn’t in Guild Wars 1

Ever since the new update “Flame and Frost Prelude” (Epic by the way) Guild wars 2 has been crashing and giving me the same error “A fatal error has occured and GW2 needs to close”

I have sent multiple error reports to Anet but its still glitched
is their a fix or will this be fixed in the next patch?

What should I change my date and time zone to?
I live in canada mountain zone
and my computer is set to the proper time
for some reason the 2 dailies: Veteran slayer and aquatic slayer, aren’t working
the only thing I can think of is reinstall
gonna give that a try will report back

Gobi.7508:

I think its fine the way it is…. People killing people in JP… And people who got killed rage cry and bring it on the forum and other people reply as the pvp zone caz it is. And then start over again… Like I said it is fine the way it is.

Alot of people think its fine the way it is but its ridiculously annoying to get killed in a JP…
But I have done alot of rage and got yelled at but I have come to a conclusion….
First WvW Jp’s are not bad and some are cool with having the Jp’s in WvW

Also for you people thinking camping SHOULDN’T exist
stop it, its not gonna happen and also people should have a right to camp

however the move on Anet’s part to remove siege weapons from Jp’s was a good one

also I get really tired of people saying mean things to other people and saying things like “Pve tears… DELICIOUS LOLZ”

stop it guys it just causes more rage and stop being kittens

if you are going for badges here is a tip:

First AVOID Eternal battlegrounds JP
its not worth it

If you need badges make some alts and do the JP on your borderlands world
generally the JP in your borderlands is rarely camped by enemy players and with alts you can do it multiple times to get 20-30 badges a day and tons of blueprints
so lets all stop complaining and laughing at each other and just deal with it the way it is…
Legendaries are supposed to be difficult but instead of killing yourselves on Eternal Battlegrounds do the JP on your borderlands
sure its slower but its safer and a lot less rage inducing
Peace

Also think of the exploits?
Even if you got a large group you would still get massacred due to the design of the puzzles, the campers could just open fire from above and massacre the group with ease

Porky.5021:

thewaterguy.4796:

Porky.5021:

AncientAstronaut.7602:

THESE jumping puzzle zones within the PVP zone should be made non-PVP…..

Why?

Get some friends and go kill the people camping the puzzle.

Problem solved.

and if you want to play by yourself?

Learn to die with dignity?

What do you want me to say? The puzzles are located in WvWvW maps. These maps are setup for groups of players to kill other groups of players. If you want to run around by yourself in them, be prepared to be killed by groups of players.

Look I have no problem with people that kill other people in large groups
my problem is with people that kill people on the JP JUST because they think its hilarious
its not fun and all it does is fuel trolls
it takes a very sick person to get enjoyment out of making other people P’d off

sigh
The Jp’s should not be “territory” to fight over…
I believe they were meant as an alternate source of badges for people that don’t like PvP as much
all camping does is make people mad
but then when they come onto the forums they just get laughed at and called a “PvE Noob”
its sick
and I am really tired of it
and its the reason I am not purchasing ANYTHING from Anet until something is done about this

and for all of you campers do something for me
make a lvl 1 alt
and try to do a JP being camped by some enemies
then try to get a group without asking your guild for help…
then maybe you will feel our pain

Sethryno.4651:

Anet have stated that getting a legendary wep will always be a show of how the player knows all aspects of the game, PvP is part of this game, using the JP in any PvP map is an easy way to get the badges for this, however expect PvP inside the JP. This is not going to change.

Anet needs to make a way to give people a fighting chance
I don’t have a problem with doing PvP
but it takes SOO long to farm 500 badges of honor that the JP’s are best,
but then people camp them just because they think its HILARIOUS to see other players rage
I don’t understand whats so funny…
For this reason the next expansion that comes out Im not buying it until something is done…

and for the record I don’t camp JP’s and leave people alone if they are enemies

These kind of posts make me want to camp JP more. :]

You’re my inspiration, motivation and purpose of my life.

why do you think its funny to kill players on the jumping puzzle?
I really don’t understand whats so funny about it…
It’s people like you that make me sick
since you seem to think its HILARIOUS when you kitten someone off
