Guild Wars 2

looks like only killface got the point of the post. anet can’t take measures to account for their trashy netcode. sorry, i would actually give you my stuff, but i already deleted the game and can’t be kitten d to reinstall it just to login and give stuff away.

first, thank you arenanet for reminding me why i took a break for a few months in the first place, i am uninstalling your game as of now.

second, how in the hell do you NOT have a system in place that keeps the character in the game for at least 1 minute even if the client loses connection? i have lost 45 minutes of my life(map jumping and organization) that i will never have back on tequatl due to YOUR crappy netcode (my fiber optic 250mbit connection is SOLID) without ANYTHING to show for it (DC @ 20% teq, last burn phase with GW2 community organized event)

stupid things like the above just cost you a player who invested hundreds of euros into this game since launch. THANK YOU, i will put my money elsewhere.

please put more junk into the gemstore instead of fixing FUNDAMENTAL GAME BREAKING BUGS.

sincerely

angry FORMER CUSTOMER/PLAYER

p.s. uptight mods, feel free to infract and ban me, i don’t care anymore, nor am i giving anet any more of my money, be it gems or expansion. back to diablo. ALOHA!

and up to the top with you, stupid bug!

arenanet are scammers, as long as this bug exists. they are selling the chapter for GEMS, i.e. real money, KNOWING that the achievements cannot be completed. that is a SCAM in my book and anet are SCAMMERS. if they disabled the whole chapter until it’s fixed or gave it away for free, that would be a different story, but as it stands now, it is a SCAM.

this needs to be addressed, and soon. else this can be regarded as a scam. people buy the episodes for gems (i.e. real money) and arenanet sells them, KNOWING they are bugged and that the achievements cannot be completed, yet the do not even acknowledge it.

there’s a scam if i ever saw one.

this definitely needs to stay at the top.

oh, right. my bad well, i certainly hope this gets fixed asap, it’s making me crazy

that’s not a ticket, that’s a thread…open a direct ticket with support, demand a refund of 200 gems or a fix.

robotosis.4872:

i actually spent the 200 gems for progress towards the lumi set, but i can’t even do this achievement because its broken

if i was you, i would open a ticket, demanding a fix immediately, or a refund. they have to rspond to that. seeing as noone from anet replies here, it may shed some light on this crap.

they cannot afford to not repair this. if someone unlocked the chapter 7 for gems, i.e. real money and cannot complete it, it’s a big problem. it kind of boggles my mind, why it’s not emergency fixed yet. i am missing that crap too….

given the fact that this completely block the achievements on chapter 7, this should be a HIGH priority fix arenanet!

P.S. furthermore this bug completely blocks the completion of the luminescent set. way to go! FIX IT NOW! :P

also confirming this. submitted a bug report ingame. anet please fix this asap, it’s a major bug that completely prevents us from completing the chapter 7 achievements.

Dungin.2983:

I’m still not sure why you would invest 600 hours playing a game hear one announcement and uninstall it. The real question is how many people did this already and didn’t post about it due to endgame being a complete joke.

A secondary question would be why would you have such negative feelings over a game company that refunds your money after you play it’s game for 600 + hours?

Arena.net and Ncsoft seem pretty great to me. /shrug

becaus ei have my principles. i will not be blatantly lied to.

i have negative feelings about ArenaNet. GW2 up to this day is an awesome game, albeit bugged like hell. come November 16th, i’m not so sure.

i don’t have any negative feelings towards NCsoft, they processed my request promptly and to my satisfaction.

i just took a firm stand against this kind of behavior towards the customer base and in fact, this is the only way i can express my discontent as a customer.

Kain Francois.4328:

This part of Chris White’s post is a relief:

We will not be adding a new tier of gear every 3 months that we expect everyone to chase after and then get the next set and so on.

Because of that quote, I am assuming ANET will not add a new tier of armor (But I also worry they may spin it because of the “every 3 months” thing…)

However…

We are also working on other reward and progression systems for the game that tie into current and new content and features.

This part has me very worried…

I would really like ANET to re-assure us there would be no more tiers past Ascended.

oh yeah, such a relief. same relief as their manifesto and their director’s statements.

LIES. i don’t trust anything they have to say anymore. customer trust (and all trust in general) is lost very easily, but very hard to recover. they just lost mine.

Yougottawanna.7420:

If nothing else I would like more communication from Anet. I don’t like what I see right now:

-angry people on the forums
-negative press
-except for the official response, deafening silence from the developer
-the occasional tweet from an official source, with the characteristic whiff of condescension towards critics
-the occasional carefully worded and discordantly cheerful press release

I’ve seen this beast many times before. This is the behavior of a company that has insulated itself in a criticism-free bubble. Now it’s early still, this is not a terminal condition, they can still be cured. But the symptoms are already there.

my thoughts exactly. i’ve seen this before. the only company who managed to reverse the downhill spiral was CCP with the aurum and captain quarters fiasco.

let’s see how ArenaNet can manage this kittentorm.

Bubbles.2507:

From GW2 manifesto

“Because, like Guild Wars before it, GW2 doesn’t fall into the traps of traditional MMORPGs. It doesn’t suck your life away and force you onto a grinding treadmill; it doesn’t make you spend hours preparing to have fun rather than just having fun;”

Screw me for believing this amirite?

yeah i guess the jokes on us, the customers, for believing these lies.

thought ArenaNet was diffrent, that they were doing something fresh. turns out we were being lied to. this is not why i bought gw2.

requested a refund. bye bye.

thanks for the link, might as well do it now, they screwed up with the ascended gear, gg.

Wymsical.6945:

I don’t really know why people seem to think they’re entitled to extra responses. We know the items exist, we know they’re slated for an upcoming update. We just don’t know exactly when. They’re not obligated to tell us when. The items likely still have some bugs that are being worked out to make sure that no one’s character gets messed up and/or they want to drop them with a larger update.

Sure, I’m chomping at the bit to recustomize my necromancer and elementalist, but I’m not going to say ‘For shame’ or ‘How awful’ when ArenaNet doesn’t reply to a long thread that’s essentially just people complaining the items aren’t in the shop yet.

They’re coming, guys. It might just take a while.

lol i don’t feel entitled to a response and yes, they are not obligated to answer.

but since this is a free to play game and in essence these kind of items are their bread and butter, wouldn’t you say it would be only logical to present your customers with clear and meaningful information regarding things which will keep them spending money?

KrakenAZ.9367:

Haven’t played much for the last month, and just did some crafting for the first time in ages. Not sure when they changed, but the new controls for changing how many of a given crafting component you create are very clunky. Do not like one bit, please bring back the old.

+1 on this, the new ones are horrible.

hello,

since the ingame preview doesn’t display particle effects, could someone please post a picture, or better yet a video of the glow on the Corrupted Sledgehammer?

i’d like to see what i’m buying before i dump 30g into a skin which i might not like. thank you.

it’s called “legendary” for a reason.

Tolmos.8395:

deriver.5381:

When people make topics to complain about something that clearly is not and won’t ever be part of this game mechanics they are just complaining for the sake of it and things like that can lead to infractions. If you want to make a post about a suggestion you have, at least try to make a plausible one. Else you are just a troll and won’t ever be taken seriously by anyone, including the devs.

Because it’s completely unheard of for MMOs to add new skills with expansions.

This must be your first, I take it?

how exactly does deriver rule it out in his post? new skills maybe, maybe they should and will make weapon skills the same as the utility skills, so you can choose from them. but i seriously doubt that you will ever have more than 5 weapon skills at your disposal in GW2. that is a core mechanic of the game. that’s just me though.

Tuccos.8592:

Skuko > Because i played them all to the Endgame, keep your suggestions for yourself and stay on the topic. I dont need your suggestions about what i should play or not. If you have nothing better to contribute , goodbye

well if those game are so good, why don’t you still play them? i somehow fail to see your logic.

i can turn your crap around and say i don’t need your rants about how boring the game plays FOR YOU.

i like how it plays, so what? i love the fact that i don’t have to be playing my keyboard like a kitten piano to be effective in pvp, i don’t have to use a naga and 200 macro keys to enjoy the game. i love it. if you want a more complicated combat/skill system, you just mentioned the games that have it, enjoy.

besides – there’s no endgame in GW2, unless you like wvw and hunting new skins for your armor.

i love how GW2 plays.

from what you’ve written, GW2 clearly isn’t for you.

why don’t you go play Vanguard, Everquest, WoW, AoC, Warhammer, Rift etc etc etc ?

do not expect an answer to your question. there’s a thread for character recustomization (including name change) in the black lion trading company section with more than 19.000 views, yet ArenaNet refuses to answer. so i wouldn’t get my hopes up if i were you.

marianojc.2965:

Mmm. After more than three weeks with the monthly achievement bugged it was fixed with a Candy Corn eating “achievement”. I was asking myself: Why should my character eat the unhealthy Candy Corn to accomplish the monthly achievement? And I have not make my character to pass through it. Sugar may be a leading cause to bad teeth/bones and diabetes, it is not suitable for diabetics and it should not be included as an achievement for everyone as it is the monthly achievement, as not a few people like to bring to real life what their characters do in game.

you need to seek out some help, seriously. people who are unwilling/unable to distinguish between a computer game and reality need help.

jinroh.9217:

hey,

now its the second time, i am forced to play wvwvw.
why? now i need to kill 150 enemys again as a pve- player.

no wonder all the wvwvw-players are going mad.
players just come for the monthy reward. great game!

Next time got to finisch al JPs or all Dungeons.
Or win 300 sPvP matches..

blubb

simple answer: because ArenaNet designed the achievement that way. don’t like it? noone is forcing you to do them, are they?

wow, you people always find something to kitten and moan about, don’t you?

Arsenic Touch.7960:

Candy corn, right at the bottom. I know for a fact that I did it last month because I still have the reward sitting in my bank.

all i see are “OCTOBER ACHIEVEMENTS”, or at least it says so on the top of the window. what exactly are you trying to prove?

was just venting…

yep. it is beyond me why this function wasn’t implemented right from the start. in a game such as GW2, where the cosmetics matter just as much as stats (if not more), it is quite surprising and saddening not to have something like this.

hehe. i don’t mean to be rude to the OP, but THANK YOU CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!

yeah but when will they come? game’s been out for two months now. when are they going to come? in a year?

now you’re going to argue that they are busy with the halloween. then they’re gonna be busy with christmas, then something else again, etc etc.

the thing that pisses me off the most is that we’re getting the silent treatment. by far the most viewed topic in this section, one measly reply saying nothing. it’s like they’re just trolling us.

i wrote on their facebook page 2-3 times, tweeted them 2-3 times, everything over the course of the 2 months. NADA. not even a kittening “we’re working on it, hold on” or anything.

so much for “community interaction”. just a big flip off by ArenaNet. they’re just as bad as any other lame kitten developer in regards to forum interaction. way to treat your customers. kittens.

yeah i’m pissed.

i think the OP is a troll. either that, or really, REALLY stupid. a 5 year old can figure out how to ask for groups for gods sake.

Janson Smalling.1850:

Thanks for the suggestion, everyone. We’re doing what we can.

about a month ago. what’s taking so long please?

OP needs to learn to play. as above, 0/10

i’m at a complete loss, as to why the heck doesn’t anyone competent from arenanet reply to this in a clear manner. silent treatment is the worst thing to do to your customers, ever.

the former is found on the wvw “invaders” gear for badges of honor. the latter is not in the game (at least not according to dulfy.net

(didnt find it there anyway)

KlaatuZu.1024:

Is was a major disapointment for me aswell. Bought 1600 gems for it in advance. It just seemed so certain with all the recent events revealing it.
Regarding giving ArenaNet time, I´m sorry, but this is the kind of feature that can´t be showing up late for the party, because character investment (and I also mean REAL money) depend on it.
People who know about this (everyone does), now have to decide if they want to invest more time and money on their main characters, and that decision is HIGHLY affected by an ETA on this particular item.
That´s why it´s so important to knowWHEN it is coming, not IF, which we already do know.
Have tried to ask them politely and got copy/paste answer….
We just need a simple E.T.A., that´s all…
Strangely enough I felt lack of interest to play aswell (for the first time), I know it´s stupid, but it is also true…

and that is bad imho. they should at the VERY LEAST state their plans (which would be subject to change). whatever they do, they should not leave their customers hanging, that’s a good way to lose them. speaking for myself ofc.

Title says it really, this should have been in the game from the start in the first place. Does arenanet not want more money?

i need to change my character as i was in a rush to secure a nick.

any ETA on this? i know the BLTC items have already been datamined from the latest builds, so they are there. when can we expect them activated?

looks like anet doesn’t want any more money….i’m shelving the game until this feature is in. meh

900 would be optimal, you don’t need to be a trap sniper

aNet has made only one mistake: language pref. servers;

the problem now is, that while [EN] and [FR] have the possibility to recruit and form multi timezone alliances, the [DE] get the short end of the stick, because noone will really play there unless the prefer to speak german (i wouldn’t altho i do speak german myself).

so yeah, the system is flawed, but only in regards to [FR] and [DE] servers. the language prefs should be remove if aNet intends to have a 24/7 wvw system, OR [DE] server should not be paired against anyone, but [DE] servers. if that is viable, is a whole different story though.

and how about you form an alliance to cover all timezones and coordinate accordingly?
