Guild Wars 2

I’d also like to add that Verdant Brink’s lighting could use some work. The entirety of the visible landscape being lit up the exact same color makes my depth perception go nuts, and I’ll often fall into kitten or get snagged on a prop that I can’t differentiate from the terrain.

And can we get the tiered map back for Verdant Brink? The major cities have it, and they’re not half as vertically treacherous as Verdant Brink. The map/minimap in Verdant is literally just one layer and you have no idea if the thing you’re looking at will actually be in front of you until you’re on top of it and realize “Oh crap, that’s about 200 yards above me.”

Sounds like an issue with your graphics because it worked fine for me.

Since the term is beta weekend according to the government this is a three day weekend due to the fact Monday is Labor Day. So shouldn’t the testing be a day longer?

Labor Day is one country only. The weekend is still 2 days for the rest of the World.

And I suspect Anet are still hard at work on the Monday regardless

You gotta remember though Anet is in that country. lol

in 2 hours and 22 minutes

Since the term is beta weekend according to the government this is a three day weekend due to the fact Monday is Labor Day. So shouldn’t the testing be a day longer?

We’re excited to announce our second Beta Weekend Event will be taking place starting at noon Pacific Time (UTC-7) on Friday, September 4, and running until 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) on Sunday, September 6.

Log in this weekend to join us in the Maguuma Jungle and check out our announcement blog post for more information on testing priorities and the content you’ll be able to play over the weekend!

The biggest issue for me is that I just think ANET is a company with very few and very poor ideas for where this game is going…looking at you Berzerker spec!

The business model is poor too, for example if they made the expansion 25 a 30 euro’s there would have been less/no qq and the sales would have been high. Now 60% of players is “mad” and probably about 20% is moving on to another game and 20% blindly pre-ordered. I remember not long ago ANet saying, that if they ever did expansion for GW2 at all, it would be priced somewhere along the 10$ range.

I was stoked about HoT, but I’m going to hold off and wait for a sale.
If that sale is not comming within a week or two after HoT release its time to move on to another game!

Actually, 99% of people are happy with HoT and its price, 1% are people who are upset and moving on to other games. See, I can make up statistics too.

Where are you getting those figures from? Clearly not fact.

Europeans get to start their session at night time, and they get to end at night time. The Americans get to start in the middle of the day, and end in the middle of the day. Would it be asking so much to start the BWE at midnight on Friday, and end it at midnight on Monday?

Because right now the message seems to be that ANET does care if EU plays the beta or not. Seriously, how much feedback from EU is lost because you overlap the start and ends times with the times that people want to sleep.

Wrong. I get to play at 2 pm cst and the beta ends at 1:59 am. So middle of the day and middle of the night for me an American.

After the $10 sales, I figured this would happen. GW2 by itself is likely no longer sold, it’s simply included with HoT for free. You don’t have a choice.

So basically it is a big screw you to those of us who originally bought GW2 when it came out. They give it away for free and those who bought it get no form of compensation for the money they lined ArenaNet’s pockets with. Bad Business choice.

what did you want for the hours upon hours of day of no restriction and freeish play?

Well I for one would expect ANet to extend a reasonable price for those of us who already own the original game instead of committing fraud. The expansion is only worth $10-$15 tops and they are charging the same price for the expansion with the core game. So in general if you already had the core game they should give you the expansion free instead of double charging you.

They need to clear things up on this issue. I have read the code of conduct and there is no rule against profanity just this:
1. While playing Guild Wars 2, you must respect the rights of others and their rights to play and enjoy the Game. To this end, you may not defraud, harass, threaten, embarrass or cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other players. This includes posting insulting, offensive, or abusive comments about players, repeatedly sending unwanted messages, reporting players maliciously, attacking a player based on race, sexual orientation, religion, heritage, etc. Hate speech is not tolerated.

However it says this on the conduct breach page:
The Rules cover such basic expectations as:
Don’t swear or spam or break any laws.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/guild-wars-2-conduct-breaches-outcomes/

The wording of don’t swear on the breaches page needs to be removed as it is not a violation of the code of conduct. So therefore anybody banned for swearing can legaly sue NCSoft/Arenanet.

Here is the user agreement you accepted that they have to go by: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/guild-wars-2-user-agreement/

So they have some work to do on their legal documents.

Well since a lot of us played as Canthans its only right that the Devs should pay homage to the original heritage of our characters.

It will be celebrated in GW on the 31st until Feb 7th. So will we be haveing events here as well since it is GW Lore?

are there stores where you can buy cards to add gems to your account?
