Guild Wars 2

Just to verify, I, as an OP, also support Vayne’s opinion up to some point – the new hints design is a bit goofy but I don’t mind it as much as the fact that now skills, along with traits, are being locked out until pretty much 50% of your leveling. The difference is that I want complete rollback and rework if is it to be implemented again while he’s fine with it. <- This still doesn’t give me the right to bash anyone who doesn’t agree me though, so please follow this example.

Show me the mini … but I like beeeeing looooonely.

My problem is when people talk as if they speak for everyone.

Of course the forums are an important part of the community’s feelings(I never said it wasn’t) but neither of us can just assume a majority of the players like or dislike the new update.

Yes, there are forum posts and people ingame saying they dislike the update, but unless you have actual numbers, none of us really knows what most people think.

But hey, since I am outnumbered in this thread, I guess my opinion just does not count then.

It counts.

This thread just became legit since Lilith’s asura is on it.

We’re on opposite sides of this but I’ll love you forever <3

I’ll still share cake with you

PS: The fact that we don’t share the same point of view on matters doesn’t make us enemies last time I checked, lol. Too bad many people get that impression :<

Guys, you all know we can’t really tell what the majority wants, right? Only ANet has data on how many active players there are and how many of them post on the forums. Saying “Yea, everyone on the forums is against the change, but everyone who doesn’t post approves of it” is just as kittenaying the same thing the other way around.

It’s a fact however that those are the official forums and the way to communicate with the developers of the game and what we see here represents the player base.

Monad.7210:

voluntarily admit to the gigantic mistake theyve made and let itself go of any respect and value it held..

I know that it’s not the whole player base that desires a rollback or a re-work on the introduced features so it’d be overrated to say all in general, but I think that sometimes a step back and admitting an error doesn’t mean you’re humiliating yourself, but that you’re actually doing the right thing. You never know how many of the players would applaud ANet for doing this, I personally will if they have the courage to stand up and say “Hey, we kittened up a few things, we will figure out a way to fix it, meanwhile we will add the stuff you guys enjoy.”

^ Still, very very hard to please everyone, it always has to be the majority of players.

Bump. I’m not a member of [Noob] (huge kudos to those guys) but I can help with fractals runs in EU if anyone is interested. I’m far from being a good player out there, but I know a trick or two that might be helpful if you’re interested.

Guys, be real, how hard is it to learn what 4 skills do?

Sorry, I meant to make the post as in relation to FGS being a significant damage increase for elementalists.

Can I get Level 80 experience scroll? :/

Tried fiery rush on the Bloodstone in Arah pt4 last night. With ~20 stack mights, solo build full zerk warrior, I got 3 ticks each dealing ~400 damage. I think I can just as well fight naked.

winterchillz.2564:

As a QA team leader in an IT company and a passionate PvE player of GW2, I have one very simple question to ask: What does your QA/Testing team consist of? There’s no way, a person could miss the newly introduced Arah pt2 bug. The only logical explanation to me would be that either your team performed very simple unit testing and passed on the implementation testing as a whole or that they’re the worst PvE players I’ve seen if they can’t do the skip to Belka (Solution: Give them guardians running in full nomad and 4 hours so they can kill all the mobs to Belka if you have to!).

Please, ANet, realize that many of the changes are unwanted and unnecessary. I love this game so much that I used to spend 10+ hours per day on it but now I just feel disappointed and discouraged to play it any longer. Please, listen to your player base.

Regards,
Winter

I think the term you’re looking for is regression testing. The UI changes might not seem like much but they are definitely game changing. It’s also hard to measure the impact that collections is having on the game. People that weren’t motivated to do anything before might actually have something to look forward to now.

Thank you for finding the term for me, Zeromius. So, game is all about Achievement Points it seems.

Vayne, maybe you’re right, I haven’t stated that the whole player base wants that. I still haven’t tried out the new leveling system but the hundreds of posts about it plus the videos I’ve been watching create an image of something very tedious in my head. As for the traits changes, this is totally out of the question for me, it requires either full re-work or complete rollback.

They probably haven’t tested Arah because they didn’t change anything in Arah.
That said, how do they manage to break the path then?

They obviously did since the path is broken now. If you’re going to do something in the shadows, such as stealth changes, you have to be twice as wary that something might go wrong. Obviously, no one realized that.

frifox.5283:

Anyone tried to instagib lupi with one wall reflect? Does it still work?

Yes.

So, does anyone on here play CS:GO or Dota 2 in EU? I haven’t touched another game ever since I started GW2 but I’m growing sad of all the changes that are being introduced. Might go back to Dota for some “your life is mine now!” action.

No one.

/15charsofsomething

and kittening forum bug seriously

I’m so disappointed with this patch, really. It offered nothing else but stupid achievements and changes to UI. And of course, a kittenload of broken PvE content.

Edit: I kitten wonder why ANet try to fix kitten around the dungeons when they don’t have people dedicated to that. It’s like the support guy in our company to touch our developer’s code.

Thx, ANet =/

Oh, I was just about to report it

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open TP and Navigate to Buy Items;
2. On the Search field write in “light of dwayna” and press Enter;

This game is easy… get over it. You can try to glam up the game with “speed runs” but at least be honest. It takes all of 24 hours to learn all the dungeons if you are a slow learner..

You know this by personal experience? <:

The so called “Fgs-experience” !

inb4pitchforks.

I’ve always thought that “Experienced” in the LFG means that I should have Experience booster running. That’s why I always bring my lowbie alts to the “80 | Experienced” parties since my goal is to be 80 and I’m using experience booster.

Good morning, everyone! o/

It’s been a while since I was here, sorry. I’ve decided to get back into playing my guardian (after I died 5 times on Cliffside at level 29 and I instantly salvaged her whole gear) but of course, this is a serious matter of fashion first and utility skills next. Here’s Aurora, the Tequatl slayer.

I really like your guardian’s look Have you considered getting Infinite Light for her?

Hi Pulse, thank you very much for the kind words! I don’t really like Infinite Light as a skin, to be honest. I know that it will fit much better than Jormag’s Breath but it’s just not my kind of a sword.

I should totally join the path selling groups and just keep the last boss for myself when I kick the party owner, muhahahah!

^ Dude, please go get that POI, it’s bugging me.

Forgot the mention the level re-scaling that happens if someone in the party tries to open a higher level fractal than his own personal reward level:

- My personal reward level is 39 and if I have a person in the party with 50, I can open 50 fractals;
– After entering the first fractal though, the level 50 difficulty is being scaled down to 39.

Taku feeding Lion’s Arch cake!!

best.way.to.wake.up.

Very minor request, maybe could even be neglected, but how about giving us a fractals title for completing the whole achievements tab? Something like “Time Traveler”, “Memories Collector”, “Warrior of the Past” :o

Anyway, I’m 5 AR away from 50 fwakhtulz, am not a kazul anymore, mum! I should totally start doing 50, 49, 38 and 29, God, I luw fwakhtulz.

49 and 50 are part of the same daily tier so there’s no point doing both of them. Also 37 and 40 are better alternatives to 38 since the instabilities aren’t as annoying and dont discriminate certain classes.

Oh …. oh …. Boo! :< Well, 50, 37/8, 29 and 19 then

Edit: ^ Oi, lol!

Well, to be honest I read a few posts and I was left with the same impression. It seems as if the people from this sub-forum have a bit too much bitterness left from all the neglecting on dungeons and general PvE content. I’m too new to this game and this part of the forums to be able to comment anyway, but I hope that slowly things will start changing for the better.

Anyway, I’m 5 AR away from 50 fwakhtulz, am not a kazul anymore, mum! I should totally start doing 50, 49, 38 and 29, God, I luw fwakhtulz.

Both are extremely easy to land IMO, comet doesn’t work in stack though unless you move out of the stack and back in but I don’t think it’s really that much of a pain in order to make it a groundtarget skill.

Maybe. In fact, very likely, but maybe not. Even if ANet plans on any changes it will probably be in the distant future, I don’t really put any hopes in changes to happen in the next few months. Still, they might actually write down and think on some of the ideas that we give them as a feedback on the current PvE state.

So, how do you guys feel since the dungeons sub-forum seems to be getting some attention? I’m sorry, but I’m too lazy to go through 200+ posts, 150 of which are prolly off-topic, so that I can make my own conclusion.

NovaanVerdiano.6174:

Finally. After a streak of 33 runs which gave me nothing, I finally got something worthwhile; a Raider’s Chest of Ascended Boots.

Now for another streak of no rewards…

Gratz, bro, you deserve it ^^

Quickfoot Katana.8642:

I’m seriously laughing at the people saying dungeons will suddenly become fun now that FGS is nerfed. Guys, the mechanics are still the same.

If anything already boring encounters will only become even more awful…

FGS barely made them tolerable.

Should I go add /sarcasm to my first post? :<

Wow, PvE is now challenging, fun and interesting, yay, who would guess you only need a damage nerf to make dungeons viable again!

Malthurius.6870:

The entire PvE design is flawed; if you’re not a might stacking zerker you’re doing it wrong; and that’s bad… mmmk.

No one forces you to play that way, you can play full nomad in dungeons if you want and I couldn’t care less.

This reminds me of the Queensdale train, too kewt

Heartwarming post, mate, thank you for sharing your story. I have nothing else to say but that we’re all out there for you. Thank you for being part of the GW community.

Whoa, it’s been forever since I’ve done 1-9 then o: Thanks guys!
