Guild Wars 2

I like the game the way it is. But sry, I already put my stick away when I realized the horse was dead. I know its pointless.
I know according to some, my opinion is worthless and I shouldn’t even have the right to post on this thread, as if my money for the game didn’t have the same value as others.

Reading this thread reminded me in some ways of the novel Animal Farm. Some peoples opinions and suggestions are just vastly more important than others.

@Mireles, beating a dead horse no matter how much, ain’t gonna make it get and start running, Selfish people are oblivious to their line of thinking, they genuinely believe their desires and that which satisfies them are for the greater good. Just let it go.

If there was a cap, then it shouldn’t be called a “leader” board.

anet forces me to the forums 8 to 10 hours a day, doesn’t that sound ridicules? Well maybe not to some people.

1 totally agree, see lots of people complaining they can no longer enjoy the game, defending their playstyle.
2 totally agree again, only the ignorant would think changes made to a game would only affect a very small group of people, considering everyone who updates the game would be downloading the same files.
3. Anet has already answered, they did so on the update that gave the points. guess some people missed reading that. or couldn’t understand..

so go ahead, throw more insults at people who have a different opinion, says much about those who do.
only reason this thread is so long because it has already been said, around 10 people keep bumping it everyday.

you can call me whatever you wish, im sure I will lose sleep over it, being called names by someone I didn’t know existed until today.

for me (and this is just my opinion) there are some who tire of seeing, its only about completing objectives, when imo many feel this is a blatant lie. Yes there may be a few that do it for completion, but it seems the majority do it to compete, then come on here saying they don’t. when their own post indicate how many times they are reviewing the boards to see who is at what rank, where they are on the board, who is near their score.
When you log in, it shows how many points you have, if you checked the boards more than once to see where others are compared to yours, its not about completion, but about competition. Which is repeatedly said doesn’t exist for the majority posting here. If people would be truthful about their intentions, maybe there wouldn’t be so much strife from the opposition.

I thought it was about being a completionist and not the boards.

saying others are intolerant is a double edge sword, imo that just cut your credibility. Others can lay the same claim on you. generally your comments are good. this one is a stretch to placate your line of thinking. Just because someone disagrees doesn’t mean they are intolerant. I would like to see this thread get back on topic. How to improve the current system to benefit all players. My guess is there is no response from a dev is because its just a general complaint thread anymore. Or nothing but insults from a small group of players towards others who disagree with them.

stopped reading any post regarding any comments I make since I know its the same tired old thing any who, I believe you may find the answer to if there will be any change to the current system. They didn’t come out and say anything about ap. but its clear they are happy about the population change. and we all know why that is. around 16min on http://www.twitch.tv/guildwars2/c/3423904

not all those who like the change are forums users either. There have been post from some saying they don’t want them removed or they like them. I can assure you I have talked to people in the game that like them. Is the desire of those who wish to change things about the game others like, more important?
Of course it is, all one has to do is read this thread and see how there is a group of people who feel anet should kiss their butts, since they are obviously are the only dedicated group of players. They are the only ones who buys gems, only ones who play more than a few hours a day. Its just not possible there are other types of players.

maybe its because almost 300 of the replies are from the same 10 posters.

imo the only reason some ppl want them to be removed is because they are mad for not getting points for something they didn’t do. and jealous of those who did the work and earned them.

I remember 1000s of people saying in GW1 if they nerf the sin (which they did) they were leaving. It got anets attention though. Cause they ended up nerfing it 3 times after that. The I am gonna leave the game if they don’t change it equates to I’m gonna hold my breath until I get my way. My 3 years still does that from time to time.

The reason everyone is laughing at the negative comments is because Anet did what they said they would do. And the GW1 “vets” have seen the…I’m gonna leave the game if……" thousands of times. And we have learned Anet’s general response is See ya, don’t let Mhenlo hit you on the butt on the way out.

now come on ladies and gents. Don’t hammer to kitten him. Some of us enjoy reading post of people trying to rationalize such faulty logic.

I for one am still waiting for those to scrape their way out of Smooth Penguins link regarding EoTN.
But of course, its one people don’t want to comment on because it invalidates everything they have said thus far. Making them looking like a fool.

And for the GW1 vets, we can’t begin to count the number of post “I’m gonna quit this game” when talking about changes to the sin. Everyone laughed at those as well.

not sure I recall gw1 vets asking for more lately. This was a nice surprise to them as Anet feels now the tab for gw1 achievements has been adjusted appropriately.

It seems all the ppl boohooing about this claim they are dedicated loyal customers of anet. If so prove it. Buy gw1 spend 1000 plus hours EARN the achievement points. Just like all the players that got them. The amount of time it takes to earn 500 points in gw2 vastly pales in comparison to getting 5050. imo it should be 1000 points or more.
Thank you anet for showing you have not forgot all those who supported gw1 for all those years. Don’t let the sniveling few undo what you have done.
The sense of entitlement I keep hearing about is by far more from those who did not get the additional points. I will no longer follow this thread, any comments to this post will only be to see your self talk. And to the above post. It’s not arrogance, its ignorance on the part of the whiners. ppl keep saying its a completely different game. really? if so it only shows how little they know about gw1/gw2

What amazes me, is there are people who actually think their position on the leaderboard is important to everyone else. If you want to see who is looking at your position on the leaderboard. Look in a mirror. You will see the only one who cares.

guess its time to play some gw1 and finish a few more up. Instead of QQ ing mommy someone got more achievement points than me. It’s not fair. stamp foot.

That’s all the majority of the people are seeing from all the whining about this. It’s a freaking sequel, if you don’t know what that means, look it up.

Some days the forums sure are a source of amusement. People sniffling over achievement points. Who would have thought this would be so life changing. Give the GW1 players the points they earned them. I have the game. Don’t have the HoM ap. Could go back and get them if I choose to. Instead of whining on a forum longer about it than it takes to start racking them up.

Soon as I seen ppl were getting ap from 100’s if not 1000 plus hours of GW1. I knew the kitten storm would hit the fan.
I totally agree. the 2 points per achievement for a 1000 or more hours played is to much for those people. After all their dedication to Anet in GW1 shouldn’t be worth a total of 20 points in what is considered a sequel. It is a sad day that Anet should acknowledge the dedication of those players. Sad indeed.

This is certainly a nice update for those who had the dedication to complete various achievements in GW1. However, just wait. Those who did not play GW1 and were higher on the leaderboard than some are going come here and QQ and QQ for days and days.

Kaamua—Sure is funny how the winning server thinks it has better tactics because its winning. Winning because of numbers does not equal better tactics.

At no point did I say GoM’s tactics are better. Please learn to read. Perception/Reality.
I agree, Winning because of numbers does not equal better tactics.

sure is funny to see a losing server telling the winning server to learn some tactics. Just saying

I’ve read the notes, looked around on here, haven’t seen any comments on it. Was just wondering if they did something with that.
If not no biggie, not gonna cry about it. Was just wondering, since I’m unable to play atm to see.

oh my goodness the above post was flat out funny, no matter what server one is on

Let us suppose the trash talk is not a violation of the code of conduct. A question then would be. Is it the right thing to do? Some also ask, who does it hurt. imo it hurts the person doing it more so than the recipient. Demonstrating a level of class they will most likely never be able to quit the sphere in which they were brought up in. Of course we can only hope it is a level of insecurity or immaturity in which they will out grow. And thereby prosper as an adult. If they are already an adult what more can we do but pity them. Those of us who feel they who violate the code of conduct in this regard must have a thick skin, continue to push forward and make the s/t/pvp community enjoyable for those who wish to venture into this area of the game.

didn’t bother reading all the post, mainly those from certain ppl who feel they are entitled to be trash talkers. When considering trash talkers, just consider the source. one begets the other. nothing we can do about that

As has been pointed out, there is a vocal minority, those are just best to ignore. One does need a thick skin for pvp. Not saying its ok to be a jerk. Just there are some ppl that cannot be changed. So why even waste time with them? There will always be those that trash talk in a game “hiding” behind a keyboard. Let them be. come on, its all they have in a game or real life. Anyone that has stood up to bullies know full well they are the biggest puss of all.

No doubt wvw would come out on top, real pvp doesn’t use nor need “PVE” buffs to make their builds work. So in a way it would be pvp vs wvw+PVEbuffs

for earth skill 4 focus to kill ambient that respawn, a target is not needed. it is an aoe skill, and can be spammed without a target. Yes I am in doubt. So thought I would asked. Didn’t want to take a chance doing something illegal.

Hello, I have tried to look but there are so many different opinions and comments I’m a little confused.

My question is. Is it against the eula to set a weapon skill, for example focus skill 4 on ele to kill ambients and be afk. By setting the skill I mean by the option that is available by the game with auto attack.

thank you for any responses

by no means would I be in the top 5k lol, be that as it may I love the game and what I get to do. reading all the comments, it seems its hard to pick who to be sad for. the person who spends the time to kill 5k sparkfly with a shield or those who are jealous someone has that time.

I know I will never be at the top, time is the factor. I’m fine with that. I do however like to work on them in my spare time. My problem is, there are various bugs in the achievement points being added properly. For example the hints. and I have completed 3 slayers that the points showed completed but never were added. And yes I watched very closely. As do many that are working these points. These are just the ones I am having problems with. Can’t say if there are others. My point is I guess. If they do not fix the known problems. Isn’t that like putting the cart before the horse? Oh, forgot to add in the hobby dungeon that is bugged as well. Seems pretty unjust for those that are really pushing for these only to be short changed by the known bugs in the system.

Maxlothor, would like to say I feel your tips are dead on. We only have enough for t2 at this time but your tips are exactly what we have been doing. It does make them more enjoyable. Scouting really does take the fun out of it. I know there are times we have failed because of the luck of the draw. But its all good, we have succeeded on more. Hope people that aren’t doing it the way you suggested and having trouble will give it a shot.

would love to see a video of Anthony’s team of 15 or less do a t3 during peak bounty hunting hours on a weekend. And not one with 6 of the easy ones either. If that was available I believe most ppl would say ok, there it is, I will shut up now.

Yes I would like to know the answer to the post above as well. I am wondering did the test team endure what we have to endure. for example, one npc was being camped by a player considerably larger and they were actually able to stand on it in such a way as to conceal it. Did they have to deal with others holding an npc in a very obscure place? did they have to deal with other guilds killing the target causing it to respawn? They say, you can get the map to help. Did they put up with so many other guilds camping an npc only to scale it and do nothing when a group of 5 ppl are trying to kill it. Please don’t get me wrong, I love the content , when it is being done the want anet intended. But for them to compare what we have to deal with and their own experience in doing the content is like comparing apples to oranges.

I wasn’t asking about relevance to guild missions, I thought my questions was a simple one without any implications. and was directed towards scaling.

please do not take what I said and try to add something in there I clearly did not say.
which is a common thing in this thread.

So you think a small 5 man guild paying (e.g.) 5000 influence for something, and a larger 50 man guild paying 50.000 for the same thing would be fair?
Sorry if I completely disagree.
It would be a bit like saying that if 5 people have a job in your home/family, everything should be 5x more expensive for you than for the single working person, just for the sake of fairness. Sorry if I don’t buy that kind of nonsense.
——————
so if 5 ppl each spent one dollar and 50 ppl each spent one dollar, which single person spent the most amount of money?
I agree with you on some of your points, but this one no. If you decide to respond please answer the question first.

funny how many ppl say, small guilds can just buy influence, I would like to know how much gold they spent on influence. But there is truth in that. There are far more small guilds than larger guilds. real life money = gems = gold=influence. Not a bad move to squeeze real money out of the majority by anet.

When I bought the game I knew party size was 5, open world was as many that wanted to be there and if you contributed to the event you had the same chance to be rewarded as anyone.
Interesting enough larger guilds are saying if your small its your fault. But couldn’t the same be said, if your guild is to big for the content then whose fault is that. Ignorance is obviously a choice here.

Scaling to smaller guilds is out of the question. If they did that, those guilds would not be required to disband and join mega guilds for new content. Which would clearly be a perk for mega guilds. Hence so much disdain for smaller guilds requesting equality. Mega guilds do not want equality as then their existence is not mandatory to continue the game.
I can see why there is so much bitterness on both sides. I mean most guilds would love to be the “to be in guild of gw2” After reading every post, there is selfishness coming from both sides. Not from everyone. As there are valid points from both side.
I feel some of us are beating a dead horse thinking we can still ride. Anet will do whatever it wants and we will have a new horse to ride next month. Lets hope its a thoroughbred.

Small guilds need to stop complaining. If you decided to start a guild in the last month, which is late in the game, then thats yur fault and its not a smart move considering how difficult it is to grow when so many big guilds are out there. One thing that is currently
———————————————————————-

I would venture to say it is the small guilds that were created at launch who are the most upset. just because black dogs bark doesn’t mean all barking dogs are black. They are more upset that the content appears to be catered to the large guilds. And feel left out on enjoying the content as a large guild would. Having played gw1 for 7 years, I am used anets shenanigans. Learn to live with it and move on. It doesn’t make their argument less valid though.

If the speculation from the smaller guilds is correct, there is no questions this will completely destroy them. They will lose a majority of the their players to the large and super guilds. (which may be a reason why so many people in large guilds want this update.) And for the people in larger guilds that cannot see the problems, because for them the problem does not exist. imho must have blinders on. It may not be anets intent for this to happen, but it certainly will. As it is already starting. Just watch map chat on several servers. It seems the smaller guilds are calling for equality to be able to gain items for their guilds. As was mentioned, do the smaller guilds put in less time? or do less in game? But in the end, anet owns the game and we have to play by their rules. If this is the type of content to be added, it will be a sad day for the smaller guilds. End the end, it will come down to, be part of a large or super guild or you will not get to enjoy new content to its fullest. There is no question people in guilds that are 1-15 players that will not join large guilds will cease to play. I’m from a mid size guild of 130 so my comments are not coming from said small guilds. Just I can clearly see their point.

I noticed the same problem yesterday. So did some checking around, The only time I would gain influence is when I guested to another server. I tried 2 accounts and various professions. We did do a couple of the dragons and we got the 20 influence from those. But in Wayfarers we would not receive any points at all, regardless how large the guild party was. Unless we were guested into another server. we are from the Gate of Madness, so not sure if it is just to that server or game wide. I’m so glad someone else noticed this, it was driving me crazy thinking I was doing something wrong.
