expansion=new maps,more heart quest,more dynamic events,more npcs,new tier of armors added,more time gated crafting,more vistas and poi.

Throw in quaggans and I bet all the 10 – 15 and 50 – 80 year old age groups playing this game will descend upon it like a hungry lion on a limping gazelle.

+1 so true.

In light of all the negative threads,GW2 is awesome!! ^^.

expansion=new maps,more heart quest,more dynamic events,more npcs,new tier of armors added,more time gated crafting,more vistas and poi.

Expansion=same kitten you’re getting right now.

Just so you know,you’re creating negativity in this forum through this post as well.

I did acknowledge I too was whining, true. but I’m not being hateful, just sad and confused. why do people like to be miserable? just stop playing, u kno

Whiny threads does not contribute to the forum as much as negative criticism gl.

The trait system is a joke.

Just so you know,you’re creating negativity in this forum through this post as well.

It will be time gated i guess.You must log in and spent some 1100 hours to unlock a specific skill.Each skill cost 1100 hours of playing time to unlock.That way arena net will get more people logging in and good concurrency figure

We don’t need a expansion cause its the same stuff anyway.We need a cash shop removal so theyll focus more on the game than on their little baby.

No its in the hands of a gold digger.

For those who actually acquired a Legendary by getting their precusors, World completion etc etc, you have NO proof that the item did not come from TP, was mailed to you from “someone outside” or that you made any kind of Effort to acquire the item.
For those who actually acquired an Ascended Weapon, you have earned it.

Okay, dude:

I made 3 legendaries so far, which took me like 1800 hours of playing the game (world completions excluded). Making one ascended weapon takes less than 100 hours. I don’t have any proof? Let me show you my evidence:

Not really impress.

It is a little too childish.

kitten goes meow meow.you know the adorable ones.

increase health pool by a factor of 1000.set time window of 1 minute for every boss.

Warrior.Anet’s favorite class.

They measure their success through the cash shop.

Turtle Dragon.9241:

~20 Dungeon Paths worth of Empyreal Fragments, or the player is a JP Pro/WvW Pro.*

I parked 5 characters at the end of a JP. I log in once a day to them and loot the chest for an average 40ish Empyreals a day for 10secs total effort switching between them. Am I Pro yet?

No.

Solution Legendary weapons should be cash shop exclusive only so that it solves the grinding problem and rewards people who does real effort.

I just bought off a legendary from the trading post respect me for my effort.

Zackie.8923:

in my very honest opinion

3 steps forward , 1 step back

forward=to oblivion 1=improvement

Yes i love the RNG dyes.I wished all the dyes were only cash shop exclusive and RNGed.That way we can support Anet.

MrRuin.9740:

Neither proves a thing.

Say someone unemployed mooching off the system spends 12 hours a day grinds out an Ascended. Then someone working a real job for 12 hours a day decides to buy a Legendary by charging up his credit card, because he doesn’t have time to grind it.
The premise of this topic says the unemployed guy is better and puts in more effort. Yeah, he put more effort into a game. Guy 2 put more effort into real life and bought his luxury item.

Point is, you can’t judge anyone without knowing how or what they did.

The guy with real job does more effort hands down.

I would say extend your hiatus.

Effort for grinding for amors?ROFL..Nobody cares about that effort.Hey i wasted 100 hours of my life grinding for ascended and legendary amor.Other people:yeh…..

no.no.Definitely no.Move on nothing to see in this game its terrible.

Arena net want this kind of community to keep the game going.

Wanze.8410:

Its called Story Missions.

Lol story missions…..Try soloing Zhaitan alone.

Corvax.1675:

The forum software filters any word which could be perceived as offensive and replaces it with “kitten”.

Therefore pretty much everyone uses the word “kitten” as a substitute for any swearword.

That is why you see so much fluff in game cutesy stuff which makes the gaming lore kitten and the whole atmosphere just plain wrong.

zedtanga.6571:

Dear OP,

This is a huge problem in the game… but the game is all about the level 80.

I say that tongue and cheek, every game is the same bs with this topic.
Getting a dungeon with out being 80 just plain stinks, I have had the same treatment just this past week. Sorry your not 80… GOOD BYE.

Or do you have a 80? get on it. Umm no .. i’m playing this toon for a reason that i want to level it up and enjoy the content.

Lame. Also I have seen more people doing crappy things that that game allows them to do in dungeons. Makes me wonder if devs play that game even. :/

Thats why it isnt alt friendly.

Aenesthesia.1697:

skonietz.9418:

To put it in a nutshell: STOP kicking lower levels out of your groups, just because it will take 10 minutes longer…. Lets be a good community and be friendly to everyone!!

I’d say you should join a group of level thirtysomethings if you wanna do the dungeon. Otherwise, it’s not fair to expect people to carry you through the dungeon. You know that you will die and do little damage, so you are either clearly expecting the rest of the group to do things for you, or you don’t expect it to take just ‘10 minutes longer’

Can you find people lvl 80 who come along with you? of course you will, there’s always a kind spirit when you need it, but don’t expect everybody to be that kind spirit.

Whats the point of setting lvl 30 sth as the level you can access the dungeon while you can’t do it with a bunch of lvl30s because you do no damage.

Atherakhia.4086:

wish they’d update the US numbers as I’m not convinced servers like FC and AR are high population.

They aren’t. I think the tag is based on accounts on server, not active population. There is no chance in hell servers like AR, FC, ET, DR are “High” let alone “Medium”.

I looked right now and AR and GoM are listed as “Very High”. Oh man that is hilarious.

They can manipulate the system who knows.

Manoa.5897:

xephire.8324:

Herm using tequatl to move people to high population servers now making transfers to medium population world free.Something fishy is going on.

Why in the world would anyone transfer to a high population server for PvE content when they can guest for free?

Why cant they transfer to a high population even though they can guest for free?

Xcom.1926:

There are a lot of features I expect in MMOs that GW2 is missing. Not having a option in the TP to sort by armor is absurd, let alone not being able to trade directly with players.

Playing trading players will lead to scam.

Herm using tequatl to move people to high population servers now making transfers to medium population world free.Something fishy is going on.

they should really set a dungeon lvl limit that ensure smooth run so that its clear we won’t have these problems.

Yareon.2835:

xephire.8324:

The best solution is to transfer to a more populated server through buying gold and converting them to gem or buying gem outright to get your transfer.

Your best solution means:
- transferring her 130+ players guild
- leave our ally on piken square without one guild
- spend another 3-4 months re-acquiring ALL the guild upgrades

Just to do tequatl….
Maybe guesting is a better option, don’t you think? XD

Having to guest all the time is troublesome why not just transfer and everything is fine.

Your name was quite inappropriate before. You deleted the character that was holding your items, and CS policy is not to replace deleted items. If they would do so, anyone could say they deleted an item and get multiple copies. This particular policy is good for the game. It is best to tell the whole story when posting.

How did you know that

I replied to his, now deleted, previous post in Account Issues, where he explained he had deleted his level 1 character carrying said items.

Possible that he couldve delete it by mistake when he decided not to roll that lvl 1 character.He deleted his character not the item so i don’t think why handing him back a digital stuff could be that difficult.

I think ANET brainwashed him holy cow!!!Tinfoil hat explosion!!

Phi Is Sly.1857:

I don’t know, i don’t know what my name was before. but it certainly was not phi is sly.

What did you type that made them think you’re calling out names.

Changing your name?Why would they do such an absurd think like that.

Lopez.7369:

I’m OK with the event having a long respawn timer, but I don’t understand why the spawn window has to be so long. It hurts organization and effectively encourages waiting around so people don’t lose a spot in the correct overflow or main server.

Its to encourage people to changer servers.There must be some motive behind it.I guess this must be one of it and it isn’t good.

well its 3pm on a weekday in europe, people are at school or at work at that time its too be expected participation will be low… As for yesterday at 10pm I dont know what to tell you except that I am on piken square too and while yesterday I didnt try Tequalt me and 6 or so guildmates did it on wednesday at around 10pm or maybe 11pm, we killed him and we were on an overflow!

Every time I tried to do Tequalt I end up on an overflow on Piken Square and I tried a few times I am honestly surprised (well not the 3pm one thats undersandable)

I can only tell you… try this next week (I dunno if during week-end maybe there will be a little revamp of people).
On Monday at 10PM Tequatl was killed on Piken (a guildmate was there waiting… and he dropped junk obviously), maybe a big guild/alliance was organizing for beating him.
On Thuestady at 9PM we planned to fight it with our ally (80-100 players) in an overflow… We got room for all our players in the main Piken server (and we got him to 50% hp).
On Wensday I got there and there were a few people.
I can also tell you that yesterday I tried to guest on Seafarer at 10PM and only 4-5 players were there too. On Desolation I got in the overflow instead.
Today it was empty at 3PM but since 2PM I fought other world bosses and there was plenty of players there so I don’t think it’s a matter of time (school or work), people is not spawning at Tequatl because they already know it will be a waste of time!

The best solution is to transfer to a more populated server through buying gold and converting them to gem or buying gem outright to get your transfer.

For some reason they thought it a good idea to put a coordinated raid fight in open world. Lol.

Pretty much. If you’re going to put a fight like this in the open world it needs to be balanced around a much smaller number of people doing it. Like 20. Certainly not 80.

In Anet’s case that wouldnt be realistic. 20 people killing an ultra hard dragon, its nonsense!.

impossibruuuuu!

Grimdale.4725:

Mathias.9657:

Most content you missed has since been removed, so the game will generally look the same except there are new invasion events that no one does.

I hope your in the minority with the negativity.

Positive and negative attracts don’t they its nature.

Its really fun now, nice shiny cash shop,new good looking ascended gear to aim for.An one hour tequatl window that keeps you very excited while waiting.You can change your hair style now.Amazing stuffs to do.

That my friend will be a very hard request.

Erick Alastor.3917:

I’ll try to post it again and if this lead (again) to the thread cancellation: my apologies.

From Eurogamer Expo 2013
Q: How close are you to the manifesto you posted before the game’s release?
A: Still hold core values but had to make some adjustments during development. Sometimes we have to stray away from what we have said in the past.

Let’s see what was declared with the manifesto:

Points they are still close to:

• The look of Guild Wars 2 is stylized. We’re going for a painterly, illustrated aesthetic.
• Cause and effect: A single decision made by a player cascades out in a chain of events.

Points from which they have decided to stray away:
- Guild Wars 2 takes everything you love about Guild Wars 1 and puts it into a persistent world.

• B2P sustaining itself mainly through the release of new campaigns. No.
• GvG? No.
• Guild halls. No.
• Guild capes. No.
• UW? FoW? Alliance battle? No.
• Focus on Horizontal progression? No.
• Secondary profession? No.
• Region free servers? No.
• Alliance system? No.
• Skills capturing? No.
• Heroes? No.
• Low and persisting level cap? No.
• Hard Mode? No.
• Costumes? No.
• Dances differentiated by profession and gender. No.
• Lore. Are you serious?
• Etc etc. No. xD

- A game that defies existing conventions: (old school Mmorpg vs. Guild Wars 2)

• Vertical Progression. -> Vertical Progression (but slower)
• Farming. -> Farming.
• Quest system. -> Renamed: Hearts, Dailies, Living Story.
• Raid. -> (World Bosses?) ~ Work in progress ~
• Trinity. DPS/Tank/Healer -> Redefined: Warrior-Guardian-Mesmer

- We just don’t want players to grind in Guild Wars 2. No one enjoys that. No one finds it fun. We want to change the way that people view combat.

• Open PvE: Join the zerg spam 1, dodge if required (if not, you will roam alone in an almost dead world)
• Interact with “put some random object name” in the world for hundreds of times.
• Kill “put some random mob name” in the world for hundreds of times.

- As a structure, the MMO has lost the ability to make the player feel like a hero. Everybody around you is doing the same thing you are doing.

• Run in circle (Frostgorge/Queensdale/…) to kill Champions doing the same things others are doing and in the same order at the same time.
• You make all the hard work during the personal story, a salad take the credits.

- We respect you—as a player, as a human being.

• So they decided to totally ignore our feedback on forum and close every thread that disagree with their decisions, without giving us any response.

I had a postgasm.Infinite loops of +1.

IndigoSundown.5419:

ANet in its infinite wisdom has determined that in order to add “challenge” to the PvE game, it was best to do so in ways that have turned out to mean that only players on highly populated and motivated servers are allowed to have said challenge.

Yes.When nobody does tequatl on other server.People will start saying you’re on a less populated server you must come to our server.Escalating the problem.Genius.
