Guild Wars 2

Same discussion comes up about once a week. Most recognize that requiring the WvW maps in the Map Completion achievement is at least problematic if not an outright fail.

There will always be the pointless retorts of “You don’t have to do it” —--duh—-we don’t have to “do” anything, including playing the game itself. Since we obviously do want the achievement but in some cases, are unable to realistically get it, the "you don’t have to do it " argument is less than useful.

There also will be the “time it right and jump on to an empty server exactly when it resets” or some other silly work around. We can get like 95% of the acheivement without the silly workarounds……why can’t the last 5% be consistent?

Those same ole’ same ole’ replies not withstanding, the general consensus is that

- Forcing people to group, go into another set of maps and hope you’re in a group large enough to get the points you need is a ridiculous expectation when every other WP/POI/Vista/etc can be achieved more or less by your self if that’s how you choose to play the game.

- Forcing a WvW achievement into a primarily PvE achievement is akin to saying., “And for your monthly PvP achievement, you must run 3 dungeons in PvE”…….makes no more sense then what we are being asked to do now.

-That including 2 out of the 3 types of maps and calling it “map completion” is at least logically inconsistent. There are 3 basic modes of play. PvE. WvW. PvP. Either all 3 should be included to become “Meta-Map completion” or it should be “Pve Map Completion”.

The bottom line is that ANet said that we could play the game the way we wanted to and while that sounds good, they are forcing people to engage in 2 out of the 3 game play modes in order to achieve what should absolutely be limited to a single game play mode.

Let us actually play the way we want to play.

Agree you 100%. Anet is a being a real kitten in this matter. Completing 95% of the map on your on only to have the remaining 5% surrended to luck.

Ohh my bad. I was under the impression that my health was my vitality. Thanks for clearing it up.

Hi I’d like to know how exactly does this sigil work. Are the perks dependent on my current vitality as I take hits or is it based on my full vitality? For example if I take a hit and my vit goes down to 6/11k, do I still get 3% power and precision out of an 11k vit?

No.

It is a listing fee. A listing fee, is a fee you must pay to be able to list the item. I don’t get how this is so hard to understand. You have now listed the item, and payed for that ability. It does not matter if you remove the object, you have payed for the ability to list it there.

I don’t understand why people assume things without researching and then blame the system. If you don’t know how something works, perhaps you should ask instead. Wouldn’t that make more sense?

There was a guy in America who bought a caravan and was driving down a freeway. He turned on the cruise control, and went to the back to make a coffee. The thing crashed and he SUED the company because the manual did not say that when on cruise control the car cannot drive itself, it merely maintains a set speed.

We do not need more people like this. You need to learn your harsh lesson and then be smarter for the rest of your life, rather then the world dumbing everything down and making a stupid society who can’t do anything without step by step instructions.

Im sorry if this post is a little harsh, but i am just sick and tired of people blaming others because they were not smart enough to ask how something works when they didnt know.

We wouldn’t need game manuals if that were the case. I fail to see why a person without prior experiences in MMOs SHOULD be expected to understand that the listing fee is not refundable (MMO newbies shouldn’t be expected to understand the economics of a listing fee). More importantly, I don’t see how it could have hurt the devs to have integrated a one time notifier on the subject matter for the uninitiated. This is a trading post in a video game, not the NYSE.
