Guild Wars 2

Is this a mistake that will be fixed or just a completly stupid idea? Ive spend a decent ammount of cash buying 12 of them and I am very disapointed.

Not sure about endorsing slavery, but I miss Koss, he was useful.

I dont really care about slavery, Im here to kill people and animals (and some robots).

Robert Hrouda.1327:

one of them was developed in a few hours by one person, and the other was developed by a team for a few months. Comparing the two really isn’t fair.

Well, learn from SAB and get a team next time.

That being said, Crab Toss isn’t for everyone. Some people enjoy those things and some people don’t.

I believe way more people liked SAB than craptoss.

The good thing is that you aren’t forced to play crab toss to get the rewards, so you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to. I personally enjoy it, and get a bit of a kick out of grabbin’ crabs.

I did it for the achievements (I like achieving achievements). Once they were done, I stoped. Well, Im not forced to play GW2, but when I do, I like completing things. So, considering my play style, yes, I was forced. And it was painful.

Different folks like different things, and that’s okay. We’re trying to build content for everyone, so everyone can be excited about something with our release.

As said before, I believe way more people liked SAB.

Good feedback would be telling us about the things you didn’t like about it, and the things you did like about it. A nebulous statement of “It sucks” isn’t constructive.

You gave me bad content, I gave you bad feedback. We can both try to do better next time.

If you want to actually see change, you need to give clear feedback so we as developers can talk with each other about things we could change for next time.

Cluncky control, bad designed skills (I thought the run skill was lagging for like the 1st 10 times I used or that I was getting stuck in terrain), crap load of conditions with long duration (crippling and knockdown are really annoying, specially for long times), achievements have bad tooltips (crabtacular!), annoying obstructions and VERY poor rewards for the time spend (maybe better now that the new items can drop with a really high chance – at least the high offer of them in auction house makes me think so).

Whether its an activity, a dungeon, a boss, etc, giving us feedback about why something didn’t sit well with you is far more valuable than just telling us something didn’t sit well with you.

Ive been trying this during beta, didnt work. Trying again now, think that time Im doing better than op. Now you owe me a better minigame

The other limited exotic minis are around 50-70g since they are not available anymore. What are your expectations about the new mini for the future? Same price or is the market for minis kinda slow?

Im thinking on stocking on them while they are still (way) under 20g.

Now that we have mini Barbie and mini Ken, can we have a mini pink Corvette?

Contractually Obligated – When we will be able to get this Achievement?

Also, anyone know the answer to this question?

I dont have the answer, only the same question ^^

Lexy.3912:

Yep
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/southsun/Mini-southsun-Faren-Kasmeer-not-a-collectible

nice, thx.

wth crabtacular has to do with rng?

Crates are made to make money, that is why they are in gem store. They put them in the game so you can see they completly suck before wasting money on them. Only another gambling box.

When SAB ended I was like: oh, too bad it ended, that was fun, can’t wait to see more of it. But crab tossing… when I got my last achievement I was like “thank god I dont need to play this ever again”. It was the worst and most annoying minigame I’ve seen in a MMO.

It could be named crap tossing. The minigame sucks and the rewards suck even more.

did they mention that in any oficial note?

Astral Projections.7320:

I wish the minis in this game were like Guild Wars 1 minis.

I wish the whole game was like Guild Wars 1. It would be way better than a generic MMO.

so, why are they the only ones ingame that do not count as collectables? lazyness, intended or comming next?

are they used to craft anything? or tooltip is messed?

Im not buying gambling chests nor gambling keys, specially because the drop rates of the stuff Id be interested is so low that it is cheaper just to buy the gold then buy the itens in the AH.

Equinox.4968:

I’ll never get the achievement now that the dungeon is permanently gone.

No reason to cry, mate. I bet the dungeon will be back in the future. With jetpacks and mini.

Swagg.9236:

I haven’t done this yet, but I’ve been informed that one receives a bonfire upon watching a talking-heads cutscene. This is the end of Flame and Frost? I’m terribly disappointed to hear this, but I’ve yet to confirm it for myself.

Cutscene? What cutscene?

when i went to the bonfire I just couldnt believe they made something THAT poor. it was probably the biggest fail in MMO history since the AoC 1st anniversary thing.

You know there is story that you can pick up from the npc and there are a few zones that you can still go into from F&F. Its just Anet dose not hold your hand for story in GW2 you got to you know go out and look for it your self with out some dam gps line effectively playing the game for you.

Fanboyism wont make the finale any better.

And over reacting to every small thing will not make any thing better it will even tend to make things worst. We HAD big one day events before but ppl overreacted to missing them so they removed one day events. Enjoy the world your building for your self this is true for real life as well as in games.

Lets talk about over reacting.

Odd any way calling something “biggest fail in MMO history” is a major overreaction.

Firstly, I didnt say it was the biggest fail in MMO history, I said “it was probably the biggest fail in MMO history since the AoC 1st anniversary thing.”

That makes AoC 1st anniversary the biggest fail. BUT I forgot about the Lost Shores / karka event. THAT was the biggest fail in MMO history, even bigger than AoC fail. 1st day: unplayable due to huge lag. 2nd day: event “canceled” (well, silently replaced for a minor thing after they saw they were not prepared to make a big event). 3rd day: chaos that took more than a month for them to solve.

And plz, even if Gayle or Regina did hold my hand (one on each side) they wouldnt have ANYTHING to show me concerning F&F event that is even close to a “grand finalle”. Bonfire it is.

Arya.9034:

Edit: 16 jetpacks, 15 minis on TP as of right now…

There will be a lot more during the next weeks when people who stocked to ressell start resseling.

I was there for the grand finale and… oh, wait… where is the grand finale? Oh, a bonfire. Ok.

Iron Maiden.7453:

Only lvl 20 been playing bout 2 weeks but this quest is like the crack of wayfarer foothills. Everyone always chatting is maw up and then once its up like 200 people are there pulverizing everything LOL

wish there was a way to filter out the MF people as im no where lvl 80 so that just clogs chat up for me

When you get to lvl 80 you will understand GW2 endgame is nothing but grinding. One of the stuff people grind is the meta events – and maw is one of them. They grind meta events to try to get precursor weapons (used to make legendaries) and rare items to salvage into ecto.

Randulf.7614:

They wont give you feedback

Yeah. Thats why I wont report.

Vulpis.8063:

…You mean as opposed to ‘Go do some permutation of killing 10 rats, baiting 10 rat traps, and/or heal 10 cheesemakers attacked by rats’? ;-)

A lot of the renown hearts, to be honest, are still ‘kill 10 rats’ at heart, but dressed up very prettily so that you have to look under all the makeup to see it. :-)

That is the fun part of reading what fanboys write on forums. They dont really understand the “kill 10 rats” is just dressed in a different way. “Help Farmer Josef to clean the area by killing centaurs”. You change rats for centaurs, you change the number for a progression bar and… voilà! How innovative!

That makes GW2 a generic MMO: a childish and more beautiful version of Lotro. Unlike GW1, that was indeed a different and awesome and challenging game. Too bad GW2 killed GW1 and didnt take anything from it other than lore, classes and skill names. We lost a wonderful game and in exchange we got a generic MMO…

Yeha, ok, they are using the 30th april post to post the other stuff (which is dumb imo – they can use a name or number for the patch instead of a date if they will use the same post to save 10mb/year in their server.

And I happened to see this concerning the patch from yesterday:

“Molten Facility: Fixed an issue where Rox or Braham would not proceed past the last gate before the final fight.”

Well, this is a lie. I had this problem today. We had to use wp to unglitch this. And the bug where they wont pass the gate AFTER the boss will be there until the last day I guess.

I hope you reported it. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt and so i’ll assume Anet thought they did fix it in all instances in which it’d occur.

Saving 10mb/year made me laugh

Nah, I dont report anything since they never give me feedback. Only report botters and gold sellers. Reporting bugs is useless, since they dont care about what you say (unless it is a post with 1200 people complaining), they dont give you feedback and…. they dont fix bugs. The ones I reported during beta and during the 1st weeks are all there. And we are getting close to a year.

dinominator.9862:

Some things in the gem store say they are limited in the description (eg. the new Lion Cub), so it makes sense that the ones that don’t probably are permanent.

That is, if you trust ANet tooltips

Yeah, thats why Im here. But anyway, tooltips are as trustworthy as forum staff I guess. But at least tooltips are there.

Ive done around 55 runs. Got 2 infinite tonic’s recipes, 2 exotic crafting item and a bunch of rare crafting mats/masterwork recipes. My friend got his jetpack on his 2nd run (I was there doing my 10th run or so). Is this fair? Yes. The system is designed for random drops. Random is random. If you dont like, go play WoW and gather 800 tokens of happiness to trade for a mount of happiness.

This game has some major flaws (like all NCsoft titles). I started having fun with this game last month, with SAB. F&F also has some nice features. There is a lot to complain about. But complain about RNG? Come on… the stuff is even being sold in the AH.

If you want to complain, complain about the fused skins. There are 16 of them they are temporary and they are random drops from BLC (with a very low droprate btw). They are also bound, which means the only way you can have them is by opening BLC. Ive opened 12 of them, and got zero fused skins. I also got zero jetpacks, but hey, I have the option to buy them in AH.

12/0

Im certainly not gambling with BLC, Ive opened the chests with keys I got ingame (map completions and drops). If I had to guess, Id say the drop rate is so low that Anet is ashamed to tell.

Got a killer whale quaggan thing at least.

Any one in Anet in the mood of working and answering me this?

Robert Hrouda.1327:

no new armor models in the southsun shore story stuff.

Although looking like a crab would be pretty sweet.

Sounds like collectors will be grinding tonics…

Rising Dusk.2408:

I love how Colin posted in this thread, making you eat your words.

I remember last year when I was managing a big project. In a reunion, I was raging at one of my employees because he was doing some stuff without getting the signatures of the people who HAD TO sign. I said something like “you are doing this without getting a single signature, are you out of your mind?”. Then he said something around these lines “I will make you eat your words”. He went to his car and brought a paper. He showed me the paper with a big smile in his face. He had a signature. A single one. And I was saying he “wasnt getting a single one”. Well, I was wrong about the “single one” part. But he was still doing his job poorly.

I love how he posted on this thread, making me know the answer to the question I had. This is what I expect from a forum.

Siphaed.9235:

Lutinz.6915:

My guess is many of the updates to Southsun Cove including the new resort stuff and the refugee town will be permanent along with at least the minigame. The story quests though will probably be for a limited time.

Resort, maybe. Mini-game confirmed TEMPORARY.

Yeah, just read that from the dev (the only think said so far). I dont really like the idea of temporary content. So far Ive been able to play evrything, but with those 2 week contents comming all the time, I will certainly miss content in the future.

rainynoble.6531:

toafarmer.8401:

I love how we never get a single answer from Anet staff.

Say that to other MMO’s developer/CM.

We will know when it comes out.

Funcom answers questions, Blizzard answer questions. Josh answered SAB questions. Anet is getting worse than EA concerning PR and support.

So, no one from staff can answer this?

black lion keys were designed to make anet earn money. you are supposed to buy using credit card. you eventually get some only to have a taste of what you can get. anet is like a drug dealer. they give you a fix here and there till you start buying.

so thats the 3rd “new build” without any mention about what has changed. any chance Anet start at least pretending they care about the people who play this game?

Hmm so all I need is to go to forge with a bunch of bowls and coins + wine + crystals? If so, is there a place with a list of feast recipes?

I love how we never get a single answer from Anet staff.

ForAce.1943:

I think on Southsun Cove AN will add Meta Event with chest on end (something like Behemot, Jogmar).

Now THAT sounds like a good idea.

http://www.guildhead.com/item/9779/recipe-pot-of-savory-spinach-and-poultry-soup

Anyone has any idea?

Will this new content be temporary or permanent?

hmm didnt know about those. need to find out about them. thx

anyone knows?

according to gw2db it is suposed to be tailor. there is even the ingredients listed in another site (http://pwniversity.com/guide/gw2-tailoring-recipes-75-99).

might have been removed on beta or something… but in theory it is a tailor recipe.

http://www.gw2db.com/items/54103-recipe-fur-cloth-helm

did anyone find this?
