Guild Wars 2

Yea im also missing Iron March, i am online 24/7 never have seen that one tough.

This topic has a faul World of Warcraft stench all over it.

So, i have a idea. At this moment we have 2 settings for the dungeons, Story and Explorable mode. How nice would it be if ArenaNet added a extra difficulty to the dungeons, the hardcore mode. Where dead is really dead and the rewards are so epic that you want to complete these runs.
But before adding this difficulty, give the bossfights an update.

ArenaNet needs to understand that people need to have a reason to put effort in something. Nobody does something is his or her life for nothing, that is not different in a virtual life.

I dont see any skill in a engineer that knocks me of a cliff, sorry.

knockback is the most stupid and skilless move in MMO’s, I say get rid of that mechanic. It has nothing to do with skill, it is only irritating essecially when you get knockbacked all the time.

I didnt bring up WildStar to hype up a other MMO, i brought it up to give an example of a game that seems to put in everything people love about MMO’s
I Love GuildWars 2 but the way the game is going forward now will people get to leave for other games. That is why i brought up WildStar to let them see that I ( someone who really was so hyped for this game, i even got all my friends to play this game ect) is looking for other games.
That cant be a good thing because i really didnt want that, in fact i tought GuildWars would be my main game for the next coming years.
But the way the game is doing now i just dont feel like that anymore that is why i made this post. Not to hype a other MMO.
It is a fact that there are new players around the corner and if ArenaNet wants GuildWars 2 to survive they need to act quickly.
I’m not hating on this game but i dont wear pinkclasses eighter. Im just realistic.

The bugs are not the reason i feel this way, it is the way ArenaNet is treathing the game at this moment.
The Living story temporary content just doesnt give me enough satisfaction. They are trying to let us believe in their videos and articles, that the living story is so groundbreaking and new. For me it are just a few minor updates that are fun as extra in a mmo but not as main game.
I want Fun dungeons to do, great bosses and a world that gives me reason to go into.
I have said it a few months before and now say it again, ArenaNet you have a great world at your disposal, do something more with it.
Give people reason to go into the wild and give the players better and more organized pve.
The Guildmissions for example, where a good start but you need to understand that too enjoy guildmissions to the fullest you will need to have a big group and there you have the problem, first of all we cant even make a raid group so we have to sort out the whole guild in little groups, so much time loss for nothing.
Second, there is just not enough reason for players to join those missions. It is so hard to get a group ready to play those missions.
The rewards are not good enough for people to put effort in that kind of missions.
Another thing is your achievement system, it seems to me that you use this system more and more too get people do the things you like them to do. But this cannot be a good wayh to let people play your game in the long run.
The last months i am only busy to complete my achievement list, it is a checklist nothing more that you complete by grinding mindless content one after another.
The game has so many potential but it seems you dont know what to do with your own world.
Update the dungeons! every month you update one dungeon, give people better bossfight, make new mechanics like a variety of circles for example. Make bosses that satisfy people that clears them.
Create boss specific achievements for those new encounters that are not easy to complete and give a new armor set with those newly designed dungeons so that people have somethjing to aim for while playingf fun boss encounters.
That is one of my ideas but ofc there are many more to make this game more immersive.

Instead of all the temporary living story updates why dont you update the existing dungeons.
Every update you take one dungeon you already have, remove all the boss encounters and add new Encounters that are fun to do with some nice mechanics, other then move out of the red circle and dodge at the right time.
Add a new gear set for us to get from that dungeon and add some nice achievements with titles.
Every month you update one dungeon, and wbhen you have updatyed them all you give people new dungeons. What you think of this idea instead of the temporary content.

Ok i have played GuildWars 2 since the Beta and i moved over from Wow with the best interests.
The time before launch you guys totally hyped me with all your movies about how groundbreaking GuildWars 2 would be for the MMO gerne and how fun the game was going to be to play.
Well after almost a year, i have made my conclusion. You didnt deliver, and im gonna explain why.
It all started so well, the starting zones of Guildwars 2 where fresh and i really liked it but then it started, when i moved over too other areas in the world.
I just didnt have that much fun to play your world, all the hearts and stuff it was one big grind (something that your promised not to have in your game) and because of that i lost the feeling of immersion very quickly, But i kept having hope.
The Jumping puzzles where really nice and gave me so much fun but i have done them all now. i can make a very long story of this but i will not.
i just would like to say that i really tried to enjoy your game i really do, and it has it moments. But there is something missing, and i cant lay my finger on it.
You have promised so much with your MMO, maybe it was too much, maybe you guys just needed to keep it simple, why people play MMO’s. Why do people choose this gerne over others. You tried reinventing the whole gerne but in the end you just cutted out essential parts why people enjoy MMO’s in the first place.
There is something missing that pulls me in , something that Wow for example had (read had).
Now i see the new update ‘’Queens Speech’’ and its the most bland update i have seen since release.
It pains me to say that my fire has gone out for this game. It was burning on a very low pitch for some time but now it really is out.
Im going to move over to a MMO that really is looking very exiting, and fun, and most of all seems to have the things that people want in a MMO ’’WildStar’’
Till then i will stick around in your game, but know that i have really tried it, but GuildWars 2 is just not the MMO i want to spend the next coming years in.
I wont say that i will never play it again after WildStar has released but what i do know is that Guildwars 2 wont be my main MMO.
I still wish you guys and girls at ArenaNet the best with your game and i hope that there are not many people that has the same feeling as me.

Kind Regards,

Professor Explode from Desolation.

Ok first of all, my english isnt that great so there will be much grammatical mistakes. Still i hope that i can make my point.

Ive been playing this game a lot lately ever since the beta and i enjoy this game a lot, but one thing is bothering me, The bossfight in this game.
At this moment, there are two types of bosses in Gw2.
First you have the bosses that are so kitten easy that you only have to push autoattack and go on facebook in the meantime, second you have the bosses that are so annoying and frustrating that they are just not fun to do.
I really dont understand why Anet doesnt make interesting boss fights ( with a few exceptions).
Most bossfights are just about get out of red circles fast enough, avoid any contact, try to avoid one-shot attacks (that are most of the time not even visible) and dodge at the right time.
Here are a few suggestions that in my opinion can help to make more interesting bossfight in Gw2.

• Variety of circles on the ground: Create more types of circles, now we only have the red circles. Make also green circles that gives you a buff that the party needs to kil a boss for example. Make more variation in types of circles we need to avoid or stand in.

• One-shot attacks: I dont hate one-shot attacks, tbh i quite like them but i like them only if you can see when they will happen, so that you can take action against it.
Now the one-shot attacks are just not visible enough.
Make some kind of casting bar on bosses so that we can see that the boss is gonna do an devastating attack, and can dodge or pop an reflection shield or so.
It will give you a good feeling when you popup the right action at the right moment to survive.

• Special Weapons: Why dont you do more with special items that we need to use during a boss fight. For example, Let bosses go in some kind of state ( a daze or something that is good visible, and then people need to use a special item that can only be optained by killing adds.
Thats one example that you can do, but there are many more.

• More specific Boss Achievements ( with a title reward optional) Make more boss specific achievements so that you can try to get these when you want to.
Make a special achievement to get for every boss, so that people can try to achieve this. For example, a very simple one but then you know what direction i mean, Kill this boss with without missing any of the orange circles that spawn during the fight.

I can make a lot of more suggestions, but the main point of this tread is, give us Pve bosses that are fun to play, that we want to play multiple times.
I Hope you read my suggestions and that you will consider some of them or maybe think about it in a whole, It is good we dont have healers and tanks but that doesnt need to mean that we dont have epic bossfight.
I have never had a Epic feeling from a bossfight in Gw2 till now, i hope i will in the future.

Well this guy was no fun at all. I Agree with this topic, i like a challenge but only when the challenge is fair. This one is build on change not on skill.

I really would like to see a personal dps meter in Guildwars 2. When im in a dungeon or somewere else in the open world, like a boss or event. I would really like to see how im doing in dps.
I know what can be the negative aspects of a dps meter and thats why my idea is too give ppl a Personal dps-meter, wich only shows there own dps. Other people cant see it and you cant link it. This way you have the + points of a dps-meter but you will not have the negatives of the dps-meter like games as Wow.
If it is to much to give us a dps meter because i know Anet doesnt like statistics in the UI, then give us a training bot that shows our dps like in the game ‘’Dungeon Defender’’
You will see your dmg as always and every 3 or 5 sec the bot will show dps too.

So in the long run everyone will have 100% Magicfind with your idea? There will be a point 10k achievement points will be a common thing for most players.

Rata Sum horrible desigh? I think Rata Sum has a perfect design, it could be the main city.

I really would like the idea to have a new main city over time. For example Divinity’s Reach is such a amazing city! Why dont switch main cities every six months or so.
Move Portals and the forge to a new city once in a while.
This way main city will stay fresh and all the cities will be used once in a while.

This game is amazing but it seems not many people see this! It is very easy to please this part off the community.

• First, Add Mounts in wvsw and outside cities
• Second, Add a dueling option (everywere or in some areas, just add it for the sake of mmo gaming.
• Third, Give us a PVE raid pls, something that we can play in groups and gives us sense of progress.

It is so easy to make this game the no1 played MMO! Anet Just add it and you will see

Ty,

I strongly agree with the skipping part of dungeons, because of the skipping dungeons are not played like Anet designed them. That skipping has to stop.
Also the point about the points of interest seems really interesting to me because when im interested in some background information i can go read the notes about the place of the point of interest, this way ppl will get a better view on the lore in a certain area and maybe they get more interested in the whole area.

I see so many negative topics around here, ofc it is good to note things that can be improved or added but it is also important to let you ppl know that your work on this game is very much appriciated! thats why i made this topic, thx for all the updates and thx for the most recent guild missions! it will make the game a lot more fun for guilds!

Ye alltough it is very fun to play, it seems that Engineers need a little more steam, Anet really needs to fix this Assap.

Then run back to your precious game ’’kuchWowkuch’’

I play an Engineer, just because its a lot of fun for me to play. I really like the variety of playstyles that you can do with a engineer. And i just like the playstyle overall.
But now that im playing more dungeons i see that al lot of players hates me for playing an Engineer, they even trowning me out of their team when i join as my Engineer.
Now i have noticed that no matter what build i use, my dmg isnt all that great. Is it really so that Engineers suck in dmg? Do ppl hate them because of that?

ppl need to have directions else they dont know what to do, the daily is a good director too get ppl get back in the world again and it works! Since the new daily system the areas are much more populated again.

Sometimes in the heat of the fight i loose track of my cursor, it mostly happens when there is happening a lot on screen, when ppl are casting a lot and stuff. I really would like to see a new cursor that is easyer too track when you are in heavy battles.

i agree that dungeons needs better loot and unique in-dungeon drops

there is no reason for inspecting in gw2 and with inspecting there will also be coming requirements, then you get like you cant join because you dont have that piece of gear. I rather not a a climate like that.

Give us laurels for killing world bosses

Since the launch of Guildwars 2 i have seen many requests on this forum of ppl that are missing raids in this game.
Well i have been thinking about this and came up with an idea what can fill in those ppl’s needs and also will get ppl to go into the world more.
There are many world boss encounters in the world of Guildwars 2, maybe it is a good idea to give ppl a reason to play this encounters. Here are some suggestions that can help to let ppl do those boss encounters in a team.

• Make a NPC in Lion arch that will annouch when a boss will spawn in the world and where so that ppl that are chilling in Lion arch knows whaty is happening around the world.

• Make a special currency like laurrels that ppl get when they partcipate in a world boss encounter so that they can buy nice stuff from them.

I really think this will be a good replacer for tradional raids, Its already in the game, ppl only need to get directions and reasons to play them. There are so many really nice bosses in Tyria but ppl just dont know they are spanwing most of the time and ppl dont have reason enough to go into the wide open and kill those kittens.

You are making new content all the time this is nice but you have so many great content that is just a waste of the hard work because no one plays it, make the rewards better and let ppl know what is going on in the dynamic living world of GW2

Hello Anet and everyone else who reads this,

First of all Gw2 is a really nice mmo game, there is so much content, i really love it. That is the reason why i dont understand why Anet doesnt make a system that let ppl go to the great content all over the world in grps. There are so many great event in orr that are meant to be played in big groups, But 70 % of ther players doesnt know about this events and the other 30 % isnt playing these events because the rewards are not good enough. You get karma well i can get that everywere, why should i do those big events. Because its fun?, hell yea it is. Still no one plays these big events or ewven knows they are going on. We need announcements of events that are going on in the world and we need a better reward, make special tokens for participation in that kind of big world events, make a board in Lion arch on wich you can see where a event is gonna start soon. and make a special gear set you can collect from doing big world events, karma isnt enough to make ppl play them. Make ppl know and play the nice content you created together. Too many areas are just dead atm.

ty for reading hope someone sees something in my opinion.

PS: pls Anet let us duel eachother, it would really help to give us more ’’fun’’ in your great MMO
