Guild Wars 2

This is a valid point but the HoT expansion the and needing items the players wont get even some of the rewards for say the class Ascendent items. What I have seen is people moving deeper in to the maps and not going back to the starting areas. So those that need these new maps will have trouble figuring it all out.
I asked random people to help me get Hero Points That I was unable to obtain my self

So this picture shows what happens when i loot any thing from my Wiggle chests WEE. not happy sadly

Here is a picture of me trying to open a reward from teh 2nd zone

I work this weekend sure people do as any one can tell you, but I can still play around 4-5hrs 6 if im an idiot. So The difference here is its 4 days and with the possibility of getting 0-5 tokens per rewards feels just wrong. Having an instance where new people are not able to level off the event kind of hurts, after the F2P announcement its kind of odd that they would have 10g already out side of RMT.
My personal concern is that the 0-5 statement for the tokens is harsh where some items cost 30 tokens and others in the hundreds. To get that many tokens with the possible aspect of getting 0 just is gross. Seeing people get nothing for doing it for 1-2hrs feels bad. If I was new and this was my 1st live event I would not be to happy about my purchase. Please either extend the event or set the tokens received to reflect the amount of time and effort placed into the events. You hyped this event in many ways, I was very excited to see what would happen. Now once I leave work its do some dungeons, pvp and maybe a fractal or two. I might try the world event who knows. Just a feel bad if I was new or had recently bought the game sorry Anet this event just feels lame now.

I work most days and soon nights so prime time will be dead to me. i only get info for this game via reddit/twitter then come here. pelase make your site 1st stop shop for info.
maybe the events wont be bugged and i can get 1-2hrs of game time from Thur, Friday, Sat, Sun in so I would get possibly 10-40 tokens per event giving me a slice of Rare gear(any duengon gives me more) spend 50s on it also. kinda feel bads for me since my job helps me pay money to the gem store when im able to. 100% feels bad for the grind if your a sudent or have a job or any thing where you cant grind. Fun i guess
Cheers

Saved for when im home and can post my winnings

im off that day so I can wake up Thrusday night game and pass out play Friday pass out Saturday and work Sunday. YES

You need to do If memory is correct Living Story 2-4 and complete all of them to the end you get stuff to make it that way

Todd.8162:

Arena Net must drop the SMS verification nonsense. Who wants to need their phone with them whenever they want to play the game? Mine is usually in my coat pocket, upstairs, in the closet.

Well not really 2 factor Auth is nice and helpful if you some one tires to log in. Its just there to make sure your safer. If you live in say the UK and some one from South America IP tries to log on and you dont have 2nd auth its annoying to get the items and things back what iff all the toons got killed and you cant get those names back. Very annoying

So are the Bday items time gated based on age i think my account is like 1067 for 2-3 toons or is it just based on the 365, 730, 1095 age of the char?

it was mini jana, and bday blaster in that order i believe saalle

Beta have changed which is OP point. Reporting that skills don’t work near objects or at max ranged AoE skills wont work that’s a report. Unable to report on a chain of events or even starting events due to the fact that its already not working is not a report but why was it not even ready for beta at all? Let the chains of let people tell you where it breaks to fix it. That’s how reporting with betas work. While I apperciate the fact that we get to play with new class see low dps on Necro GS1 bugs on Rev not correctly recording thats good feedback for Betas. Not things that are borken to begin with.

The ammount of times i tried to use GS in the opening story was just ruff. trying to melee peopel was not a good idea. So i went with staff a well and 2 shouts guess what. Crushed skulls as i went to the bank. What bothers me the most is the fact that GS is just weak on auto attacks the CD for 5 and other skills cant justify the low fail Gain for RS. RS is nice the dps feels good, but its odd that when in RS i lose more RS points per cast even auto attacks. This is just odd even with sloted lose less points when in Shroud. So that skill is not wokring as intended.
GS 1 auto attack is just lame and needs super loves, for the 3 hits and slow damage its a joke really your better off with dagger and Ohand

“ill yield different results, but all will provide a chance at the new ball of dark energy salvage item that will be used for crafting new legendary items in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns and beyond. Salvaging ascended rings will also grant players stabilizing matrices, a necessary component for legendary crafting”
This is the intresting part to me. What and how many balls of “dark blobs” do we need for these new track items

So i need some help in a spec on how to get 100% Map Completion on my Thief right now its not going To hot but I have around 54% completed. The main issue is finding help so I’m currently going it solo. Does some one have a build that can help me get most the spots solo till help arrives for Orr and the water places?

Why is it “Should be able to unlock,” vs “will be able to unlock?” I have played for a while and I dont have map completion on most of my toons save one. This is kinda a sinker for me to keep going to enjoy the game. Would it be possible to respec with the new system to allow for atleraions?

EVE online has a world wide market with money trends set into it. Check it out if you can that is the 1st massive serve wide game with good rewards and good repair/refit strageties.

@Sevree
Do you need to grind for max stat/viable gear? no they can all be bought, crafted, collected and crafted for you or exchanged for karma. Do you need to grind for the best looking gear ie Complete explorable dungeon sets? yes.

You still need money to get those items. Any game duengons allow for money to be made. Farming on good poin Orr farming is hard for some people where others its a joke to them. The point is the duengons allowed for some of the population to make some money as they work or do things all day. With few hours to play at night or are not with good guild or friend and rely upping pugs to help them get gear.

Harder ok fine, no mor speed runs ok fine. The risk reward for gw2 is not there your drops from the chests are no good at level 80 since running a dungeon makes lower profit to do do. We all understand how and why it was done fine. I don’t think they made this relaxing that ok stir nerd the rewards, exploration is harder keep the rewards ok. Your chests drop crap item 95% if the time. We get 1-20 copper from it. You can’t make a game that is for x people only while the y people are left on the side lines. All should get the option to get exotics from crafting dungeons or just pvp.

What you have done is make some of te ways people like to make money and see te game just stop or die. The need across board was a bad idea and also you ‘buffed’ the instances while not fixing the problem of Magg glitching or bugging from his escort problematic. Your solution was to heavy handed with little after thought. Games are fun for man people ou want them to play and get their friend to play. Story mode is just that see the world mister casual player while hard core guild Z.

You changed the CoF instance ok. Your thinking was change all instance alright slow the cash gain fine. It was such a fundamental change that your actions have had consequences that you probly don’t realize yet. Come a week or a month your data may see as some areas are jus now dead. Thanks to your overflow system people could play cm any time of the day usually, now Its dead.

Please really think and look at what could go wrong if you blindly swing your nerf stick around. People won’t want to farm if farming is a second job, limiting the return on crafted items well it’s goes inline with the instances merging problem. I hope you wil think about this and correct your bugs before limiting people’s ability to enjoy the game in the many ways they want.

What I don’t get is if they want things scaled then have the instances scaled for that current level. IE your level 40 in explore mode for CM then you get 5-6silver. If your a 80 in the only 80 instance then you GET 26S for completing the thing. Make it appropriated for that level no more blind nerfs and 0 play testings. That’s how games start to fail and you have a dissconect from the players to he devs.

Robert this is for you:
Interesting Duengon fun instance. I have never done any other path. Why you ask I could do many things with 2hours of my time. People told me it was speed the other paths take to long. Your ideas are out dated with the GW2.

The reason is this there is no dedicated tank or healer this game is different. Making some classes forced to heal or forced agro pulling is just not what I though GW2 was. Your explanations leave a lot to think of. The fact that Magg now agro even more than he was and the mobs don’t despawn harsh with a fast respawn rate just silly(add healer you pass). With the bomb room it was hard to live as you made it for a tank healer combo in that room not for say 2 rangers 1 necro and 2 thiefs. Making he trimmer longer and adding more mobs is not a fix it’s a I screwed up and don’t know what to change. Why not slow them to attack Magg more lose agro on players easier if you want us to fight them. The kite stragity was done simply because the amount of damage is harsh. The last boss I can’t complain.

You should rethink How your limitations on instance money making will affect the non early start players and casual crowd. There are was to make money but this is a mmo with few was to get tier armor if not crafted. Your making this fun for some and harsh for some. I like some changes not all nerf to money ok but a better option can be found.

Your a dev thanks for posting to the forum here but there really needs to be a formal explanation as to what’s going on with this. I don’t like the carrot stick method you chose for how the instance was changed or how you reported it to population. Your method was more shotgun and chick pea.

We can move past this when a better way of explaining why if a change was needed and a heads up so people can digest the news. We are human and change is hard to take at times.

I just realized what they did. This no subscription with some cash shop buys here and there ok good the economy is in flux not to bad. The are learning other game companies that need instances or have set times you can enter because we all live on the wet coast yeah. This is soooo smart making hard fights harder saying go out into the world that has so many bugged quests and farming mobs = little return as to what you spend to farm them. Love this thanks ANet you made this game so much better or me.
Now my girlfriend will see me even more often. Won’t spend 3-4 hours anight trying to run CoF or other instances nooope. Think I’ll go read a book or watch that series about hick vampires.

You don’t need a Lfp function I’m sorry if actually talking to others is annoying for you since Lfp would port you to the instance which is not what they want. MMoms should be fun and they all don’t need to conform to wow.

I have Played games since Earth Above and beyond. What I have seen from the years and simply playing many types of games is this. You can’t just simple block of a section that was accessible to the player base with no forum post. Your game is so fun I enjoy it a lot. I understand you need to balance content consumption of the players. I quit Anion due to the grind it was not fun, SWTOR let me down after one month simply due to the end game content Bering so weak I had epics from pvp that were better than pve. WoW held me from valinia to BC and off and on from there. I played recently to realize this fun game held people’s hands so muh it was not even fun, 0 thinking at all.

You have giving little explanation at the time last night when all CoF were bugged out. There are tons of bugs in the game that need to be fixed. Like the Balthazra raid that’s allways ready to start but does not. Your patch notes need more work as to what you fixed not we did stuff thanks.

I used to be hard core wowed and other games. I don’t have the time to spend 2-3hrs to run a instance that should be 40min-1hr. You have changed the amount of karma and gold needed for sets to amounts that are simply excessive one peice costs 62k or 50k making it come out to 240k+ with armor needing around 100g+. I have a life out side of his and the grinds will kill off some attraction to the game. Your WvW servers seem to have such a long que people do instances to wait 2-6hrs for WvW.

I honestly don’t think you thought this through where your trash mobs do damage like a boss. While the boss event is so weak it’s funny. How does that work so you buff your trash nerfbat the instances? Make token grinding and Karma gathering a second job! Only the people with early start got the benefit of the runs? This is just not good work. I gave SWTOR a few extra months post launch to fix their bugs, the servers have been shrinkIng since launch to become the next WAR fail game.
