Guild Wars 2

Here is a solution to all argument.Want it, have money for it, Buy it. Want it, no money for it, save up money. Don’t want it, don’t buy it. It is that simple. All the arguments and rioting are getting ridiculous.

Dakunaito.9602:

for me it’s not fine. i bought the game 4 days ago for $40

You can ask for a refund/upgrade, Anet said if you bought the game recently they will offer refund/upgrade.

what you mean 50$ is not worth, do you have some insight about detail of content in Hot? If you don’t then how can you claim that HoT is not worth 50$.

Exactly, all those people who claim that HoT does not have enough content must have played some leak version, because they sure sound like they do. People are getting ridiculous.

Let’s face it, this will happen to more than 90% of people not pre-purchasing.

People are just over reacting, I’m just gonna ignore them. Buy my HoT and live happily ever after.

Send me your stuff please.

They won’t and that’s about it. Many already bought it, no way they will adjust price. End of thread.

Exactly this , some people are just being whinny bench.

Dear SirDrygan.1823
Us and Anet do not care. Stop making thread like these, it’s pointless.

Witte.3160:

So all of you here don’t have any problem of ArenaNet leaving bugs in the game for multiple months, effectively breaking progress for tons of ppl? Lets just prioritize new content and let ppl hang for a few months shall we?

Also when they announced gw2, they said: There will be no grinding in Guild Wars 2. But its nothing but grind and event chain map clear runs etc etc. They should have called it, no brain no skill grind wars.

I actually was glad they pulled a few more dragons out of there kitten s when there was only one destroyer in gw 1 and it was all hush hush about other dragons, yet it was clear there where more. I was hoping, YES we get to kill dragons in endgame. Sadly they will spread it over more predictable grindwars expancions.

And the lackluster GW2 end of zaithan. Worst ending EVAH.

Glad you guys are having fun. And i respect your opinions too, now lets agree to disagree about what we each want from the game.

Clearly i want challenge, and its not delivering. You probably want more grind, and i can’t be bothered with that.

Can I have your stuff before you leave?

What is the point of this question when you knwo you are not going to get an answer?

Shakunaw.9854:

Let’s compare the prices with two expansions. 45euro, WOD, 50, HOT.
Content – 15% of land uncovered, a few features, a new class. (HOT)
Content – A new planet, new models, entirely new ‘housing’ system, and so on. (WOD)
I doubt the content is worth 50 euro for HOT, that’s just my opinion, you people can rage all you want, I’ve put whinewhine title for a reason.

LOL, no you are not being fair to hot, try again.

Can I have your staff?

Yeah I’d still be mad cuz it’s only going to add like 3 new areas.

Source please? If you don’t have any reliable source then please do not make any foolish comments like this.

The reliable source? Oh idk, the beta? You know, that thing where a lot of people had to pray they got a drop [the most idiotic way to get into a beta ever] so they could access?

You get to test in a part of ONE map, what makes you think there are only 3 new areas?

There’s most likely 3-5 new maps if you think about it.

If there was a significant amount of content, ANet would have advertised it in more detail. If there was a new town or dungeon, they would have mentioned it.

Well, there is gvg in guild hall which everyone wants and would build up massive hype. They did not advertise that a single bit until today.

Jade Arkadian.9280:

Lol… not a chance. Im not rich and standard edition is already overpriced

You never played WoW or any sub mmo before? not even that expansive.

ypy.2865:

No, I wouldn’t be mad at all, the problem is that there’s a “reward” for being a new player, but there’s no “reward” for being a loyal one.

Exactly, 50$ is fine for me, but the way Anet marketed this is stupid.

I think a lot of people are mad because of the core game, but listen. Are you mad when the game goes on sale for 10$ and you bought the game at launch for 60 dollars? If you are not mad about that then you should be mad about this either.

50$ isn’t expensive in between, let’s look at wow/ff14. one and half year per expansion it’s 15$x18month+50$=240$ you are paying for the game. Gw2 is nothing compare to it, even they did not show us all the content yet, but from what they showed us feature wise, I would say it is well worth it.

Think it through before you post thread/comments complain. If you think this is expansive, man you sure never played wow before.

You don’t buy the core game, it’s just a bonus for new players. Sort like buy hot dog get a free sode, you don’t pay for hot dog and soda, it’s just a bonus.

Ephemiel.5694:

Regina Buenaobra.6193:

To clarify: $50 is the price of the expansion. We included the core game as a free bonus to make it easier for new players to get into it.

Can i ask why you decided on $50 when expansions like Heavensward are actually cheaper?

Because GW2 HoT is better? Duh.

Can I have your staff?

I will buy it for 50 dollars, if you don’t want to that’s fine. K BYE.

psionflames.5246:

Honestly I doubt the UI is anywhere close to its final form for this and it could be made a lot more straightforward by the final version. We can’t really judge from what we’ve seen but remember that mastery unlocks are account wide. (I believe, Ive been out of the news loop for awhile so forgive me if any of this has changed, thus making me look like an idiot.)

So this is really only going to be an issue for your first character through, as they unlock things to spend points on. For succeeding characters, they would be spending the points as they get them on things that have already been unlocked, so it would be a lot more straightforward.

I think the UI looks fantastic, really flashed out.

Massive MUTIPLAYER Online Role Playing Game.

Glider open delay is intended, will get better after you level up your mastery.

Healix.5819:

ArenaNet offers refunds if you purchase the game directly through them. There’s really no need for a free trial, which likely does more harm than good.

Well, Walmart offer refund to everything, and most people would still buy the brand they are familiar with. That is not a solution, most consumer will not buy a product they don’t know much about.

Crimson Clouds.4853:

I think a time limit would be a little too restrictive. I agree with simplesimon and think that a level and zone cap would be a better solution.

Oh, and make sure that these accounts can’t use any chat other than party chat. I don’t fancy seeing a load of gold sellers in chat :P

The problem is new player needs to experience pvp, pvp could be a game of it self. And level gate that is kind of hard.

No free trial really turned alot people off from buy the game, how about we have a permanent(I mean permnent by always going) free trial. But it has a time limit, you could only play for 12 hours and will have to buy the game after the time is used. How is this sound?

Omg Ithilwen.1528 will not buy the expansion. We are Doomed.

Incoming bunch of people hate on you cause you mentioned the word Trinity.

Why people on forum keep complaining about EVERYTHING, I’m disgusted.

Listen Anet. HIRE HIM

NOWWWWW.

Vukorep.3081:

why are those “questionable” decisions ?

all those things didnt have any impact on anything at all. For example there are still some books around the world you can interact with but nobody really cares about them…

its the same if they remove vista animations, a lot of peoplejust press F and exit form the cut scene instantly.

A more noticeable decision anet has made was removing the custom gem-> gold and gold-> gem conversion and replacing them with a fixed amount.
But guess what, after a few weeks of forum outrage they added the custom conversion back

I never said these have huge impact, lore books in the old betas are not just regular books, they have motion pictures. Also in your theory no one care about vista, then what do you think if Anet remove Vista completely . There are no benefit at all to remove such things, many may not care, but at least the option is there and when people want to get some extra lore .

Rising Dusk.2408:

Honestly, your list doesn’t bother me much at all. None of those four things are questionable issues to me.

That said, some of the biggest things I see as failings of GW2 design decisions are:
- Removing Solo Queue
- Not allowing players to queue for PvP outside of HotM

Well, these are not particularly huge feature, these are just very questionable decisions.

I understand not separating solo and group queue, GW2 don’t have enough players in pvp, separating solo and group queue would result in extremely long queue times.

Anet have made some questionable decisions during the years of GW2 development , beta and after launch.
1. Remove Loading screen lore, Loading screen use to have text/lore. Anet removed it later on, What is the point of removing extra flavour text? Please bring them back.
2.No duelling , It is their design choice to not add duelling into the game rather than technical difficulty. I understand where the worry comes from, duelling might encourage unfriendly players to annoy others , but they can always add a auto decline all duel option . I see duelling as a nice way of making friends, I have enough faith in our community to not abuse this feature.
3.Remove Lore book, during old betas there use to be lore books all around, they give player extra lores about creature, organization, locations and events with motion pictures. Again, why remove the extra flavour and lore?
4.The launch trailer, many of you might not know but the launch trailer of GW2 is beyond horrible. It’s one of the worst trailer ever I have seen in my entire life, there are even no actual game in it. It definitely affected GW2 initial sales. Who thought that was a good idea?
That’s all I can think of for now.

I think GW2 music are made by Jeremy Soule.

vote for merge

I’m not asking for mounts.

warbignime.4610:

I don’t understand why people asking or saying no to mounts. Because we already have mounts, they do not provide any speed bonus and they are not creature , but they are still mounts. You get Carpet, broom, siege golem (this one even come with combat mechanic). So asking for mounts seems a little weird to me because we already have them. Saying no to mounts is even more confusing because it is already in the game.
I guess some people say mounts when they actually want horses, well ultimately it’s nothing different than magic carpet so I don’t understand why not.

THIS! Finally someone hits home! Also dont forgt the sonic tunneling tool too! It would be nice if we could get a golem mount, kinda like Taimi

What you guys are talking about are not mounts, technically.

The Flying Carpet and Broomstick are considered “Toys” – like the toy executioner axe or Bloody Prince’s Toy Staff. Same with the Sonic Tunneling Tool.

The “golem mount” is a form skill – little different than the Lich Form, Tornado, Locust Swarm, etc.

A mount, to most people’s mind, is not something that counts only to Costume Brawl or acts as an elite skill/a consumable siege item in WvW.

Note: I am neither for nor against it. But if it’s done, I want to see it done right.

I really don’t think there are not much difference between them, they can implement a wooden pony and call it toy if they want, but toys such as carpet and brooms are really not that different from mount.

Genlog.4983:

plz no mounts we don’t need them and it will make WVW lagg even more
mounts also count as players

What you mean pls no mounts, we already have mounts in game.

Read thread before reply please.

I did read the 7,272,361,968th thread about mounts. I was referring to people like you who need to learn to use the merged thread. Most of us are tired of seeing mount threads every week. LTM, which means learn to merge.

As a former Marine and combat vet I do however like your sig.

I am not asking for mounts?

You must be really fun at party.

How dare you. #Charr is love Charr is life.

Please, do not give us single specialization next week, tell us more about pve and challenging group content which is the only thing I care about beside guild hall.

Charr is love, Charr is life.
