I am not fan of JPs. I do it when I can…but if I can’t there is no way I will ever get it done. Fall enough times and I just give up. Only enough hours I am willing to spend to get one thing done. If someone opens a portal you better believe I am going to use it. My husband made a mesmer to help me do some of them, thats how terrible I am at them.
People do pop in and out, which is one thing I like about the game. I left a year ago, just was kinda bored. The other day I was wondering what was new in game. I found HoT hard as heck the first day, but now I think its weird and fun. I love WvW and it seems livelier then before. I like solo play so raids and dungeons arent even something I will bother with probably. There are so many options for play styles and thats a real plus for the game. All in all I am glad I came back.
Hello,
I just received a Black Lion Miniature Claim Ticket. I double clicked on it and nothing happened. No vendor screen popped up, which is what I believe should have happened? Any advice?
Thanks
What could they report you on? Not being 80th isnt against the rules.
I told someone who hasn’t seen this for themselves and the first thing they thought was about the plane crash and crucifixion. So its not like this doesnt bring the subjects to mind.
Please let us turn this off. Its very distracting and just plan annoying after the first few minutes. At least let us turn it off outside town (which I assumed it would be).
Often times in games I see things like: game play subject to change (etc). If they have something like that in their EULA I guess then can do whatever they want…and dont have to give a refund or can be sued for changing the initial product. Just came to mind as I was reading this thread.
I was really happy yesterday thinking…wow we are going to get some love.
Now I am just really sad. I love my ranger but….heavy sigh. And my second character is a necro. I just know how to pick winners…
I agree, there isnt anything to strive for.
I find ML much easier then CS…which I hate. Also, you have to learn what areas are easier then others to farm. Even grabbing one partner makes it easier tho. If you see someone doing the same thing as you…going node to node…just ask to group up.
When I found myself not ready to go to the next zone…getting squished…I would go to another equal level zone to the one I just finished. Always did the trick. And dont be afraid to run away if you are losing a fight.
I love my ranger. Shes not the my powerful class, but I love how it feels. I have tried everything else…and some are ok. But its my ranger I always go back to. I assume they will fix us up at some point. I found it very easy to get to 80 solo. Get all the pets you can. Sometimes its good to have 2 to switch between for different parts of a fight.
2 or 3 days would certainly make WvW a more viable activity.

I agree with a lot of what was said. My big draw to this game was WvW. I think there are a bunch of issues with it right now (looking at you orbs), but I keep playing because I like the concept. Right now tho its boring. For the reasons stated above.
My server was trying to be organized…and doing ok’ish…still needed work etc. But this week several active wvw guilds bailed on us.
One thing I really think should be done away with is repair costs in wvw. There is another thread that goes into detail on this forum. If I didnt worry about money, I would be more inclined to try stuff (maybe crazy desperate stuff) if my server was losing. Right now I look at the score, the maps…zone in…look if ppl are doing stuff….and then think forget it…will cost too much to even try.
I dont mind losing. I mind getting slaughter with no hope of fighting back.
Its tiring that after the weekend wvw is done for the week. One server gets the orbs and its near impossible to catch up. So people just discouraged and don’t bother. Or, its boring as heck to be the winning server because there is little to do.
Nothing to strive for after you do a few things. Get 80, get exotics, 100%map. After that its skins for your armour and weapons more or less. Without some sort of carrot people get bored. And because of the 100% map playing alts loses its appeal. WvW is really siege v. siege. Which gets dull after awhile imo. Top that with game mechanics that punish the player for various things. Tradeskills are cool…but useless. No economy to sell most things in. They are there mainly to level up with.
Honestly I could go on. I like how the game looks but its fluff with no meat.
I don’t understand why Anet doesnt have ppl to patrol the zones looking for bots or hackers. EQ had GM and Guides. You never knew if they were near by. And if someone reported something, it was generally handled soon. Thats just one example of things some games have done to deal with issues like these.
Bots by themselves wont kill the game…but it sure will contribute to it.
43…
Not loving it…not hating it (usually)…its ok enough.
Maybe because I have a lot of time to play, but I would like raid like content. Something that you dont have to do, but is there for you and your guild to get together on. Not just random strangers waiting for a mob to spawn every 3 hours.
WvW is bordering on fail imo.
This game is pretty easy on your time tho. Anyone can play and everyone is pretty much the same gear wise. Which is great for casual players. A drag for those that play more and want more challenge etc. Run out of stuff to want to get.
I got to 80…thats what I did before I was 80. Now, at 80th…what now? Almost all map done. Orr is a nightmare. I dont mind a lot of mobs but come on. I just keep playing because wvwvw is ok’ish and becuase there isnt anything I want to go back to. Altho I do keep thinking of the good ol days of EQ lol.
GW2 grinding is so boring imo. Skins are cute but what I would want to see is better gear for my time. As is, my 80th has exotic gear and…now nothing to strive for. I dont care that much about legendaries…again because far as I have been told they are the same stats just look cool. IDK…its a little of this and that and it comes up (for me) as boring. I miss going to a dungeon and camping for X gear. Never thought I would say that lol.
456 hours in….and I have to say I agree with the OP on a lot of his issues. I have been really close to quitting over so many issues this game has. At this point I am just wilfully ignoring everything as best I can.
sigh. I am sure they will get around to fixing us….someday. I love bows in general…but now a days when I am doing some serious fighting…I switch to axe or sword. So, at 80th…I am now looking into all our weapon options. Which sucks cause I really just liked using both bow types.
I would laugh if someone thought my ranger was a bot. I gave up naming my pet cause it always seems to lose it. Feeling dirty? Well I guess some of my pets do kick up a lot of dirt in a fight. I love mine. Shes not uber and yeah they nerfed SB. But I like the concept and I cant find another class I like as much. And I will revive anyone I see…and not just assume ppl are bots. I rather rez a bot by mistake them leave real ppl down on the ground.
Honestly seems like some real paranoia out there. Just relax and have fun. Geesh!
So…if a person gets home at 4….and can play for 4 hours, they can only wvw for 2? Or someone can play for a few hours in the morning and then at night…they can only wvw in one time? People dont fall into neat categories. And at high end, wvw is what there is to do. If you dont like the fact the battle goes on 24 hours a day…..oh well. This is how the game is shrug
I never noticed this. I feel unobservant lol.
I got this bug last night….I couldnt even see my own ppl. So I logged and came back. Its a live game…kitten happens. Personally I wish they would just do away with the orbs, but they are there…so I deal with it.
I don’t see what the huge deal is with night capping. I play a lot at night, should I be upset by day capping? The battle ebbs and flows….or it would be sooo boring to log in and everything is exactly as I left it. Its a 24 hour game…this is how it is….Anet said this is how it will be.
At what time does it happen? I was watching it but I wasnt sure what I was seeing. I was getting a bit queasy watching. I think most servers have this issue. I havent personally seen it…but I dont doubt its there.
I think everything you said after the word Sticky is going to be ignored by a lot of ppl.
Some good points. Just don’t think you can suggest a fundamental change to the philosophy of the game. All I can really take away from this post is: go play LoL.
Probably not. I am not fantastic in WvW, but I am happy, enough, with her in PvE. I just like the concept a lot. Before I knew much about the game, I had decided to make a ranger. I like the pets…as a concept. Just like how they look. Like how bows look.
Mind you…I am leveling up a thief. Most games I play one or something like it.
Variety would be nice. It is dull after awhile. I only go there for little bit and I am ready to just leave. Difficulty shouldnt just be hordes of the same mobs over and over.
I avoid champions for the most part. Lots of bother for nothing.
I think having all your weapon skills right off the bat…makes them seem old by the time you are 80th. It was fun in other games…knowning when you got to X level you would get some cool new spell/attack. Like you get it and you are…wow look at me now. So here I am at 80th…using the same skills since the start.
If I got back the gems I spent on bank slots….then probably I would support it. After all the nerfs and adjustments…it seems if you didnt make money the first couple of weeks you will always be behind the ball. Between bots, gold sellers, nerfs….I have a worn out feeling about the game. It wont happen tho.
How depressing. I love my ranger…for the concept. SB was the only way I could do Orr tho. Well really, I try to mix both bows. Maybe not the best but I like it. Now, like others have said, I guess I need to step back from her until this is addressed.
I just wind up deleting stuff. Which is annoying. Being able to sell it would be SO helpful.
I find some progression is fun. So is farming for stuff (tradeskills or coin). I like something to focus on. A little frustration makes the rest of the game more rewarding. Wandering around aimless is boring.
Most games these days cater to solo players. Game is too easy, exp is shared…so ppl dont bother. I miss games like EQ, where you had to group. A mix of solo play and group play would have been nice.
I agree that the game is missing something. Its too easy. Very little satisfaction when I accomplish something. Orr is just mobs thrown at me willy nilly. Its not hard…its a swarm of the same stuff over and over. I really wanted to love this game, but its just ok. It is missing that spark…the thing that makes a game addicting.
I love PvP in other games, but WvWvW is soooo boring. Its just siege engine war. I rather you have to fight in a keep to hold it. Not zerg on zerg, siege engines from afar….arrow carts just laying waste to large groups at once.
I guess mainly I dont care about my character. There are no real goals. Nothing “cool” to hope to accomplish. Oh I will keep playing for now, cause its something to do. But if a new game comes out that seems up my alley…I’m gone.
I understand what he was saying. I can see their point of view. But, just looking at this as a seller and customer: if something you are doing is angering a good portion of your customers just stop it. You flipped the switch on, switch it off. You want to put in some sort of safety net fine. But obviously its not working very well atm. So test it before you put it live.
I just got 80th and so far I havent see this, that I am aware of. But, I shouldnt have to worry I will. Its sucked out the fun in the game for me and my husband. We both feel very meh about playing knowning at some point we will gain less (whatever) for our effort.
Its not just me, or ppl we know. Its more ppl then on this forum. Its a dark whisper swirling around the gaming community. People are not just annoyed, they are angry. And angry ppl dont spend money on gems. I know we wont be. Why should we reward the seller with money, when it seems very obvious they dont care about me, the customer.
Are… are you insane? Like, are you legitimately, certifiably insane? You and your husband can’t play or enjoy this game anymore because you JUST hit level 80 and have never once experienced the diminishing returns first-hand? I am honestly sincerely baffled by this post.
Actually, his/her point is completely valid. Just because you haven’t experienced something firsthand, doesn’t mean you can’t be bothered by it, and to imply otherwise is asinine. I’ve never been shot, well, anywhere, but that doesn’t mean I’m not afraid to be.
To use an in-game example, I am scared to chat in-game because of all the heavy-handed banning that happened at the beginning. I tend to be an extreme cusser, or as my aunt puts it, “mouth like a sailor”. So I’m afraid that something I’m going to say is going to offend, and I’m going to get reported. The funny thing is, I’m gay, so I’m not about to go around going “LOLFAG”. But I will cuss up a storm (in general) if something happens and I die.
Why shouldn’t I be bothered by a limit to how much I play? I play a lot and in long stretches. From everything I read, I am going to hit a hard cap on how much the reward for my effort is going to be. So, now that I am 80th and in Orr I am thinking about it a lot. If I try to do a DE and it fails and have to do it over (etc etc), I am going to hit the DR.
So, if I play for 10 hours on Saturday I am likely to hit a DR in several areas: loot, karma, and badges. Its not very inspiring. And, I agree with posters that say this isnt really about bots. This is trying to make sure those that play a lot aren’t able to get ahead of those that can’t play as much.
Sure, I can get on alts if I hit DR but, that should be my choice….which character I want to play.

I agree with some of the things the op said. Not sure I see GW2 as the promise land as some suggest. Its great for some, kind getting to be meh for others.
