Guild Wars 2

Belzebu.3912:

@OP I’ll tell you about a game that I used to play called FlyFF, I played that for 3 years.

• During those 3 years I only played 1 class and I never reached the max level, and I played around 2~3 hours a day leveling 90% of the time. I reached level 112 Master.
• You only have a quest every 5 levels and each quest gives about 10% of a level, the rest of the 4 levels and 90% need to be by pure grind
• At higher levels quests the developers wasn’t even trying anymore, the NPC that gives the quests had the following text “Get me 100 <insert drop name> for me. Don’t ask me why.”, and that was not only 1 quest with that text.
  About weapons and armors:
• Every weapon and armor can get up to +10 and after +3 if you fail to upgrade you lose your item, and to get +10 it is 0.5% chance to get it, weapons after +10 you can make it “ultimate” and that is another 0.5% change, after that you can try to reach ultimate +10 and the chances get even lower up to 0.01% and all that if you don’t buy an item from the cash shop to prevent the item to break (no success guaranteed, only prevent breaking) you won’t get it, and the items to even try to upgrade is expensive.

Yep and yep.
Finally made it to level 60 to take on my second job, Jester. Accidentally died and deleveled. I uninstalled and moved on.
It was so sad. I was getting like 0.02 experience per kill. I use to calculated how long i’d have till i leveled up. Getting pleveled helped sometimes.

My gear never went passed +3 cause I was NOT paying for those stupid scrolls. Fun game Was my first MMORPG…

No I personally think FlyFF beats this game by a long shot. But that’s personal experience~

I spent a real-life equivalent of 500$ on something I no longer even want.

A second incinerator.

I could give two kittens about it’s amazing ability to swap stats on the go. I can change it’s stat combination by spending another 50g.

If anything, that’s why I want to quit.

About that, Isn’kitten good thing to have two incinerators? I don’t understand this problem. To me I see it as, you’re done and set. You never have to worry about making one in the future if you ever did want a second legendary dagger.

I know a lot of people are upset with some of the changes, but try and understand the reasons from the developer point of view and allow for some things to be readjusted as necessary.

some of the changes that people aren’t liking will possibly be further tweaked with hotfixes, just give it time.

The best you all can do is provide calm and detailed feedback like some have already been doing. It is possible that they had overlooked some things and all of you will do a better job at finding the issues than a small team would be able to.

Feedback:

Anet nerfed my characters into the dirt today by taking away almost all Traits my characters had earned. I am not a good enough Player to reach level 80. That’s right, I am not good enough at this game… but I love parts of GW2 enough that I had kept the game installed so I could return one day.
Well today I log in and my highest character, lvl 51 ELE has four traits out of the over 15 he used to have. FOUR. I was having a hard enough time as it is.

Anet doesn’t want People like me playing their MMO. Without those traits, and the benefits I each of my characters got from them, the game is now beyond my abilities.

These changes were great for the gazillion lvl 80s, but not good for Players that have a hard time with this game. Anet decided whom their preferred customers are and I am not on the list.

I am not rage quitting, I just realize I don’t belong here and no sense in holding out hope I might play GW2 again.

Feedback Given. Resigned from Guild. All Characters deleted. Game Uninstalled.

Whoa. Can’t you work around it? I’m in the same position where I’m a lvl 52 and all my traits went down to 5. I just added some traits and went on my merry way doing lower level map completions. Just take a breather~

Well their only homosexual relationships I’ve noticed are between attractive females.

Logan and Rytlock are two attractive males. What about their relationship?

Don’t pull that BS, Logan and Rytlock are friends, and there is not a kitten thing more to be said about two guys being that close. It is completely ridiculous, not to mention completely prejudiced, that in a day and age when people claim to be ‘open’ and ‘accepting’ towards just about any type of relationship that two guys can’t be friends without being typified as gay. You’re homosexual if you are attracted to the same sex, not if you’re an effeminate man or a masculine woman, not because you’re artistic man or an athletic woman, not because you have a lisp, not because you have close friends of the same sex.

That said, ANets handling of sexual dichotomy is pretty awful, but at the same time pretty typical of the entertainment industry.

I can’t help it…I’m a Fujoshi T__T

EDIT: In regards to the post. I don’t care much for the new armor and the skimpy one…well we don’t have enough of those so I kinda let it slide. I personally think is blah but I can see some people liking it. Different strokes for different folks

I really like what they did with the renown heart notification!

Is it really that hard to level without traits?
I’m one of those players that never really touched traits but I level decently by just exploring the maps and doing events.

The only thing that bother me is losing all of my points for a measly 5 points but I guess that’s the way it is with the new system shrugs

No, just very boring indeed

Progression felt a lot more natural with the previous system because you were getting progressively stronger, assuming you were keeping up to date with your trait points, which most people do! By level 30, you could have accessed a minor and major trait.

Doesn’t seem like much, but the significance is really that it makes playing more fun! It adds a bit more build diversity when you’re levelling in the early stages. Whether it’s a reduced CD for a weapon set or a significant boost to a particular set of skills, it’s a ‘reward’ for levelling up and makes playing more fun. At least for me.

With the current system, you’re effectively stuck in a rut until you hit level 30 and even then, you’re only really getting stronger every 6 levels or so.

If that doesn’t affect you, then that is great! But I liked the feeling of becoming progressively stronger and being able to make meaningful improvements to my build early on.

This current system just makes levelling extremely bland and a very boring experience. This could be off putting for new players. Even someone completely new to the game would wonder why things only get interesting build-wise at level 36.

However, I do love the instant trait switching! That is great

Ah~ Kk thanks for the reply. In a way, I can see your point.

I think you guys pour too much of your heart into this and that’s the problem. Log in, play, then log out. Simple

Also Living Story was a good concept (while faulty but still good). Take a break OP and come back when you find something interesting to play for.

Not bad! I actually like that I was sent into Overflow in Divinity’s Reach and it was still bustling with people. Makes it feel more like a city (though I wish people spread out more than crowding around the bank and TP). I didn’t experience any lags while in DR so that was good.

While I will never understand roleplaying/roleplayers, I can see this as a problem. Maybe it might be best if you guys have a separated chat speak just for role players? That way they can filter out all of the world chat and only focus on what they want to see. Seems like a simple fix (I think…)~

As for are the language thing, I guess that needs looking into.

Hi, I’m gonna have to say No Mounts

Here are my reasons:
1- Waypoint Don’t really need to explain why. Pretty obvious.

2- They are ugly Not in the sense that Anet can’t make interesting or beautiful mounts, but in the technical side. I can’t imagine how a mount can go up/down hills without it looking funny (Even on foot this looks funny sometimes). Also the 180 turns! Ugh so annoying. Like in those quest where you have to transform into a slyvian hound, etc. They have a bad turning animation that i’m sure Anet won’t bother to fix if they create mounts.

Also, as mention before, the cluster it will create will not make it pleasing to the eyes. I’ve played games with mounts and having them all crowd around in the same area is NOT pretty. Mounts in cities, jump puzzles (you know a few aholes would do it) and other places is just not visually pleasing.

3- The Flames People have been begging for guild housing/player housing and other things (precursors crafting) and you want to them to spend time on mounts? Anet has so much on their plates that this would be a huge waste of time for the minority of you that wants this feature. It’s like Anet confronting the forum flamers while pouring gasoline on themselves saying, “Come at me bro!”.

All in all, if you want something to show off, collect, or personalize yourself, that’s what minis are for~

Dulfy has a video up on her site. So you can check it out there if you haven’t already

Took a bit of searching, but I found dyes to match my new hammer

The designs are super awesome, and though I’m not a fan of the overly pink hearts I’m still gonna attempt to get them.

Hammer is my first target!

Sigh. I’m gonna be spending quite a lot soon. I really want a lot of those Lovestruck weapons.

The new release page looks great though
(stuck at work)

@Aedelric
Oh I don’t doubt that for a minute I actually find it interesting.

However I’m a suckered for winter holidays and so a Merry Wintersday to you!

Ah okay, whatever because it just a difference of opinion. I donate in RL everytime I’m asked and I guess doing it in game is from that habit. Hell it’s even better cause it’s with fake currency. Donating 3g to an event with a good reason is fine by me. The achievement is no big deal since you don’t need to do it to get the meta. You are free to donate or not to, just like in real life.

Ah~ if you want to be technical about it, I’m sure the money is use to rent the dolyak (food and cart) and let’s not forget that wrapping paper cost moola too. Plus every trip through the Asura gates cost money for npcs. And I’m 100% sure Ho Ho Tron pockets a bit of that money…somewhere.

Wintersday isn’t christmas, it’s like christmas. Not everything in Christmas is about the birth of Jesus. It’s also about giving and being jolly.

Well put Draknar. I sometimes don’t get people and this is one of those times. Calling it a lazy design is like calling the salvation army and fake Santas on the store fronts ‘douchbags’. Wintersday is like Christmas where you give up your glittery possessions to a better cause. Like for real, think of those poor orphans.

Scrooges, Scrooges everywhere…

1-3: Money sinks. Annoying but necessary
4: Oh no OP, don’t be a Scrooge haha

I care. Seems like I’m one of the few in this forum.

I’m a curious person and Scarlet is interesting. I really want to know what’s her end goal. I don’t care about her being a ‘Mary sue’ or what not. Scarlet is Scarlet. The lore they got going on is interesting. I’m a simple person and I don’t need a complex story or character to catch my attention.

I also like the idea of the living story being temporary. I understand what they are doing and I think it’s cool.

Those golems are evil.
I managed to somehow fend off 5-6 of them with one rally. In all honesty, if I open another box with them I’m running. No shame >_>

Wallpaper is up guys and Ho Ho Tron is looking awesome!
Thank you Arenanet for taking the time to fulfill this unimportant request Much appreciated.

I’m crying Miyazaki tears on the inside. I still have the Halloween wallpaper on my work’s desktop. I was holding out for the Wintersday wallpaper (looks super awesome by the way!) Huge fat tears T__T I want…

On another note I’m glad to see I was not the only one upset about the missing wallpaper.

Yea, no. I threw my money at the screen the moment I saw the female armor. I’m not a fan of full body armor or bikini armor. This was a good balance.
love love love it won’t be changing it anytime soon.
