#2115084 Raids in GW2?

Posted Darkobra on 11 December 2012 - 10:05 PM

Most of the time it's hard to co-ordinate 5 people or even get 5 in one dungeon. 25? Nope.


#2115062 Raids in GW2?

Posted GrandmaFunk on 11 December 2012 - 09:44 PM

how would a "raid" be different from the dungeons we have now besides allowing more players in the instance?


#2115088 Raids in GW2?

Posted Matsy on 11 December 2012 - 10:07 PM

The 5 player limit was chosen in part because its hard enough for the majority of the player base (casuals) to get 5 competent people in a party let alone 10-25 people.  Raids would only appeal to a small minority of players.

I'm all for raids if it was purely cosmetic, but they aren't the most pressing issue atm, they are very low priority.

I am a very positive guru member, and I love GW2, and to me, those people that complain about the game, are just nuts, because they have the option to leave, but they don't, they are still here, and playing the game, that means only one thing, they like the game but they are enjoying being a troll. Period. I mean, if you don't like the game at all, why stay on the forums? Answer: To troll.
Noone complains about the "game". Complains are about how the game is managed by the company and how they ignore us. Resulting on a slow massleaving. Even geargrinder are just tired to repeat the  nth daily with 0 rings, quitting. No reason to troll a game when the same user was a full supporter, it's not a virus and every senior of us got sick. We just have eyes, we play the game, we found trash, we asked to their main forum a solution, we are ignored, receiving geargrind update, and RNG again too lol. If you think guru is a negative poolbath, you should spent a few minutes of the last remaining who didn't quit yet filling the official forum of complains still hoping someone is gonna listen us. Soon they will be tired too. A troll is an other mmo fanboy attempting to log here and spread poison until banned. Just so you understand the big difference between a troll and a disappointed customer. Speaking of which, clearly is most of us, expecially who bough the client not with daddy's money to receive this result as paid game.
Oh, if you're gonna answer " Well ask a refund" Anet received so many refund request they had to illegally "invent" (it's not public anywhere) a 6 months limit for a refund, seniors are a bit late for it. Just to add, (accordingly to Gaile Gray's posts) Anet monitor gw2 main fanbased forum like this one, reading what the community have to say, and what's wrong about the game, because they "care of community". /sarcasm on True, isn't it /sarcasm off :zzz:

#2114343 High res weapon galleries from dulfy.net

Posted dulfy on 11 December 2012 - 02:38 AM

Hey everyone, recently I have compiled a couple of weapon galleries using high res ingame screenshots that includes most of the weapon skins available ingame except the starter weapons. I thought I would share what I have here incase you are looking for a specific weapon skin for your character.

Weapon galleries available How to use
The galleries are designed to allow you quickly scan images of all the available weapons with minimal scrolling. You can either scroll down the page looking at the thumbnails or click on any of the images and flip through the images on the page.

Once you find the weapon skin you like, you can click on the details to reveal a table that shows you
  • Where/How to acquire the weapon

  • Trading Post prices, if it can be brought (link to gw2spidy or guildwarstrade)
Anyways, I hope this would be a help to those looking for weapon skins to complement your awesome armor! :D

A fair point. However, suppose I go spend $30k on a car. Then suppose I break out the windows because I don't like the color of the tint, dismount the doors because I don't like the design of the latch, rip out the seats because the upholstery wasn't as plush as I wished, throw away the tires because the wheels aren't shiny enough, and smash the radio because I don't like the song that's playing. Am I entitled to complain that I didn't get $30k-worth of automobile and that the manufacturer owes me because I paid for it? I just don't think we can judge the game by the perspective of anyone who ignored 99% of the content and feels cheated because they didn't get $60-worth of their tightly-focused definition of fun.
I find your example rather unfair since a car is a physical object that can be physically dismantled like that. Also, in doing so, you did not use the car for its constructed purpose. i find a better analogy to be buying a car and then only be able to drive 5 miles with it before the bottom falls out and it turns out that they didn't screw it on properly. And that the exhaust pipe is made of plastic and has melted down. And then when you call up the car company and wonder why they sold you such a thing, they tell you that the car wasn't made to be driven, it was supposed to just stand there and look good. And then they ask you if you would like to buy some gems.


#2114253 What are you spending your gold on right now?

I have no "next big expectation." I had no "big expectation" coming into this game. I wasn't even interested in buying it until days before launch.

Exactly how I see it too. All these people do is infecting these forums with their narrow minded view on things. ArenaNet already said that gear progression is here to stay so why cry and QQ about it? You're not going to get the game you were promised because ArenaNet can make a lot more money from people like us who prefer a gear treadmill with gating system. It's funny how they actually seem to think ArenaNet cares about them while all they want is to maximize profits. Why else would they hire someone who establishes and ensures a real-life based economy and someone from Nexon who knows what people want from a cash shop? I would welcome seeing lots of armor sets with ascended stats being added to the cash shop and the stupid gold to gems/gems to gold transfer thing removed. Those who support the developer should be the ones rewarded the most, not someone who just plays this game for fun.
And that's what it comes down to I guess; entitlement mentality derived from voluntary purchases. Ironically, no matter how much money you've dumped into the game through the cash shop, it's nothing compared to the revenue they've brought in; they care no more about you than me or anyone else, and possibly less even because it's you they're most interested in suckering out of money.

Talk about a terrible community.

While I do agree that there can come a point where you spend too much time bashing another person's treasure, I don't think that his comparison with games from other genres is invalid. People do that all the time, including professionals within the game industry. It comes down to what, specifically, you are comparing. In the quote you mentioned, he is speaking of the complexity/non-complexity of the AI. Is there any reason why he can't compare the AI from other genres with the AI in Guild Wars 2? What cardinal rule is he breaking here?
A post I can take seriously! Thank you. I... don't kow what rule I'm breaking, either. I'm asking for a game that responds intelligently to me as a player.

I feel that if a game responds intelligently to me as a player, the developer respects me as a person. They didn't "streamline" the game to the point where you're pushing a button (or a couple of buttons) to receive a pellet. I want to be impressed by the ingenuity of design. I bring up Mass Effect 3 because its AI won awards.

What I'm saying is basically this: GW2 takes liberally from the WoW style of AI - mobs make a beeline for the nearest player and you trade blows until you or the mob falls over (it's decided by numbers internally who actually falls over). ME3's multiplayer actually makes your input matter. Live or die, it depends more upon you than numbers.

I'd like to see less games that focus on numbers. I don't want to abandon my social life to grind for [Super Leet E-Peen of the Candied Whale +10], I want to just be able to play a game and have fun. I don't want to play a game, work a lot, and hope to eventually have fun.

When you look at a good game... well, it's something you load up and you just have fun, innit?

GW2? Not so much a good game, because you can't just load it up and have fun.

Posted Jump_N_Move on 09 December 2012 - 11:46 PM

You keep bashing him like hes a broken record, but you gotta stop and think for a minute. If GW2 was the govt/laws and he was a lobbyist/politician. The only difference is that he lacks funding support. That's how stuff gets done in the world. Someone bitches and bitches and bitches enough till someone thinks the cause is good. They get money to support their cause, the media gets involved and then more people become aware. and maybe luckily a law gets passed with support of said idea.

He stops complaining, his idea will likely never come to fruition unless someone else has the same idea and complains longer.

The real problem is that people like him are the minority. The people who want a challenge, who are bored by everything else being produced, they are all neglected. They aren't the money makers. They don't shell out the money for the cash shop items. Those people just aren't the market. They never have and never will be the target of any AAA or brand-name producer.
There is just isn't an incentive for them in a profit-driven/greed-driven capitalist society. Quality is always sacrificed either in the name of time or profit. Your opinions just don't matter unless you're generating profit or have money to compensate/support them.

That's enough ranting. But everyone needs to be aware of it. I'm tired of the stupid people in this world who are too naive to see that they are being taken advantage of to their face. But that's partly their own fault, so the only option I have is to educate people in hopes they can grow and expand their knowledge. Only then can maybe these trends change. Then again they say ignorance is bliss yea? Also say cash rules everything me! This might be a futile effort in the long run. But his cause is not unimportant.

guys its not really about whether or not hte servers are full of players or anything like that anymore.  it really isnt.  so lets move on from that.

the point is:  there are a few users in the Guru community that have nothing nice to say about GW2.  in fact, all they ever say are negative and all it does is paint a grim portrayal of the state of GW2 that is not 100% accurate as to what the true state of the game is.  This small group of users are essentially polluting the community and creating a rather negative atmosphere.  furthermore, this small group of users serve no purpose in a community dedicated to a game that they do not like because they are neither changing the game for the better, influencing ANet developers for the better, nor are they keeping those that wish to play GW2 from playing it.

this is what they are doing though:  creating a very negative feeling surrounding this game and possibly robbing other users that visit this site because of the promise of something better than the official forums of any enjoying they get from GW2.

and its this last point that i personally cant tolerate.  its one thing if i knew that you guys were making a difference or influence the direction of the game, but you arent.  nothing any of you say is getting back to the devs.  you are seriously better off tweetting the devs on twitter than complaining on guru. your only purpose is to rob guru users of any enjoyment because you yourselves dont get enjoyment from playing GW2.

its selfish and immature.  and sooner rather than later, there wont be anymore positive Guru users and this forum will be filled with the cries of negativity.  that's not where i want to be, and im sure thats not where the site admins want this site to go.

Small group of users, I am willing to bet that "small group of  users" are some of the people who no longer pvp on empty WvW maps or play sPVP anymore because those elements have been neglected so that GW2 can add more dungeon and gear grinding.

You are not  making a difference either and your tolerance level is the last thing I suspect they are worried about. Just because you like the way things are now, doesn't mean that everyones problems with the game they purchased is not valid. Trying to put a positive spin on something obviously bad in some vain hope the population will stay the same so you can happily gear grind away, well thats pretty disingenuous. If you truly didn't want a pr battle you wouldn't be engaging in your own positive spin movement.
