[I demand my Inquest Mark I Golem back]

You took my companion Inquest Mark I Golem from me. Now the game is even more difficult than before. I got used to him, he helped me in the game. He was like a tank, he took aggro from the mobs and I could stand back and shoot the guns. Now he's gone and I'm dying all the time because all the mobs are attacking me. You made the game unplayable for me. Not only did you weaken my character's gear, but you also took my companion. Your worthless relics are supposed to be compensation? I demand the return of my golem companion.

P.S. To other players, especially tryhards, I do not wish to be insulted in any way in the comments. Any rude reference to me in a comment will be reported as harassment.

 

I agree i miss my Rockdog as well.

While your at it please return my Flesh reaver you stole from me years ago, i haven't forgotten.

Today has been a bit slow getting an IBS 5 group going. Been waiting alone advertising my group for some 5 minutes. So I take another look at the tab and notice another 1/10 group for IBS 5 + DS, decide to join them.

Group starts filling up. We're in Shiverpeaks Pass. Commander asks me for my role. I'm on my soulbeast, so I say dps. Commander gets mad at me because group advertised qdps and alac. I say I joined when it was 1/10, you don't need a whole squad full of qdps alac do you? Plus this is strikes, not raids, it's a breeze. I get berated like "if everyone thought like you blablabla". I'm like whatever, didn't reply..

Strikes go fine. My damage is good. At last one, Boneskinner, I get a whisper from commander saying I shouldn't say I'm dps when my dps is lower than some alac in the group. I figure the guy is looking at some of those dps tracking mods and comparing me to a probably better player. But like, I know I'm doing good, the dude is being pedantic, and at this point very annoying considering I've done a bazillion strike runs and never had any issues. Boneskinner goes well, no problems from me, good damage, didn't down once, helped rez downed players, Boneskinner dead fast.

I enter DS, decide to whisper back to the commander - "I'm doing fine, you've got some issues friend"

Commander kicks me out of squad.

"Case and point" I send them.

This why i don't do that content.. Also arcdps is a toxic application.. And these people wonder why this game mode is so niche..

[Am I the only one not enjoying this expansion?]

I logged in saw the runes and new dailies and haven't been back since.

[I think we are way overdue for new playable races [Merged]]

To be fair Dwarves have been removed from Tyria for years.. If they returned they would not need to do the origin story as they did not exist when that was done so they could be added as an after race, returning from where ever at any time period.. Same for any forgotten races they'd want to add..

[I think we are way overdue for new playable races [Merged]]

Skritt or Dwarves need to be playable.

[Why would u make ascended armor/weapons accessable via dailies?]

Why not?

Its Ascended gear its not that great, everyone and their dogs own multiple sets now.. Bar maybe a few newbies..

You're just an upset Auction house seller that helps raise the economy for their own gains..

[Someone sell me on this new expansion]

No.. Don't waste your money.

I have been playing for 2 days and I have been able to buy the new Griffon skin, I have obtained 50 gold and 20 mystical coins.
This system is for players who really play and not for those with multi-accounts who with 5 minutes a day in 1 month obtained hundreds of golds

Maybe as some background for why this change was somewhat necessary.

Login rewards were so good that the best long-term investment of real money into the game was to buy an alt, get login rewards and then get more gems with gold-to-gems than you could get with buying gems with your real money directly.

Now where anet really messed up was a while ago when there was a basically unlimited give-away of GW2 Heroic edition keys at nvidia or something, letting people to get pretty much as many keys for alts eligible for login rewards as they were willing to create (fake) mail addresses for. That pretty much jumpstarted a lot of people to go for mass alt logins since there was no longer an "investment" necessary to start seeing returns and honestly, it was really starting to ruin the game's economy because of how extremely lucrative it was in comparison to actually playing the game.

 

I think its to stop people botting accounts. Making big money.

IT'S OFFICAIL... I CAN'T PLAY WITH MY HUSBAND IN DOING DAILIES 😞  They gave my husband I different dailies, I think I am straight up done with GW2, I can't even finish my dailies for WvW which is defender, While my husband has capture a sentry.... what is wrong with you Arenanet..... I don't have time to do that stuff I had tried to play for a hour Defending and got no results.. Now I am in horrible pain from sitting here 😞  

WHY? why would you change dailies to were everyone's is different?

Why would you keep us from playing with our guild or friends in trying to do dailies together?

Why didn't you give us a bigger option for our Dailies?

So this is How you really wanted the game to be, for those of us that don't have the time to miss out on dailies that you have picked for us and we have no choice in it??? Because you didn't even give us a option to even get to pick our dailies as before?

I really want to know why you have done this to us..... and I don't want any poor excuse from Them......

There is a few of us that run together or if someone needs help I am always there, but what's the point if if we can't get the same things done together?

I am totally saddened by this.... 

 

"Play how you want" not anymore it seems.

You used this language "restoring player choice," restoring implies that whatever existed before, was better, which is just not true...before, you only had 99 choices. You now have 99 x 40 choices. That is in fact the opposite of loss in choices.

Like I clarified for you, in fact to help your case so that you can give good feedback, is that what you actually want is the remaining relic effects (the 60 or so that weren't implemented). This has nothing to do with "losing" choices because it's a factually incorrect statement as the relic system gives you more choices.

For instance...I can now choose to take Rune of the Scholar with Relic of the Monk...or Rune of the Scholar with Relic of the Trooper...or I could take Rune of Leadership with Relic of Cerus, or Rune of the Brawler with Rune of Cerus and so on...that's 3900 possible choices I can make.

Being clear about the distinction between the relic system as a system, and wanting relic effects back is critical. I agree with your message though in full...giving players choices, but try not to misinterpret my actions.

  

It was better for a lot though, far from perfect but better.

[SotO Is so good and People need to stop complaining]

You're wrong, in this instance what they did was not good.. Its abysmal and it will tank the playerbase.

Oh no, things change, what horror.

Having a blast with the expansion so far. The rewards for the daily/weekly currency look really good. And the relics feel like a breath of fresh air to the long stale gearing part of the game.

But guess I'm one of the few with positive views that still visits the forums 😄

Does really feel like a lot of people only come here to complain and spread doom and gloom.

Change is great when its designed well, this is not designed well.. What we had before worked better even if only a few were used...

So wait wait, I was considering trying the game out again. I ONLY play overworld PVE. I don't care about PVP, raids, fractals, nothing-- I despise forced grouping for dungeons/instanced content but don't mind doing the open world events with other people. It's how I like to play. So with the new daily system, if I chose PVE, there's a fair chance I'd be -stuck- with a bunch of forced grouping quests to earn my points for that day? If so, that's nasty and I won't be back.

 

Same i'll do the story then i'm out too.. I'm exactly like you i hate team based everything, but overland pve.

[For inactive players, is there any point in logging in any more?]

No op its not..

I wonder if it was designed this way to lower populations and then give NCSoft a reason to close GW2 or maintenance it.. Because thats what it will do.

I don't think it's a big deal that just logging in and not actually doing anything isn't very rewarding.

As one of the people who sometimes doesn't have time to even do the dailies I don't think the new system is any different to the old one. There have always been days when I had to choose between the dailies and anything else because I didn't have time for both, or didn't even have time to do the dailies, that's nothing new. Yes some days there was a combination which could be done quickly, but there's been plenty of times I've looked at the available options and realised I'd have to skip them because it would take too long. Also (I know I keep going on about this but) yesterday I was able to complete all the dailies and the weeklies in under 2 hours, so I don't think it's accurate to say players who can only log in for 4 hours over the weekend can't do dailies.

It's fine if you don't want to do them, but it seems odd to be upset that you have to play a game to get the rewards.

You get some from completing the weekly achievements, and can buy more with astral acclaim.

I see thanks.

Well you can untick those and opt out of them completely but you'll still need to complete all 3 of the 3 assigned PvE tasks and you will not have the option to go do an easy WvW or PvP  daily instead and basically those game modes will have even less value.

That seams to be where is this heading, people will hard commit to 1 game mode.

What are the Pve ones?

[New dailies/weeklies [Merged]]

If PvP and WvW are required now i'm done, i'll do the expac story and move on.

[SotO Supply Drop - is it worth it?]

On 8/21/2023 at 6:58 PM, Danikat.8537 said:

My post was done quickly, whoever made the table on the Wiki took the time to do more research. For example I used How to Dance Vol 1 to price the emote, because it was the only emote in the gem store at the time, they found the cheapest an emote had been sold for. The main difference though is they're using the price of the Black Lion vouchers from when they were sold directly, whereas I used the price of buying a cape/weapon/glider etc. individually. I think that ones also a matter of opinion, I've always thought of the vouchers as a discounted way to get the skins (basically a way for Anet to have more stuff discounted at once without overloading the store) so to me the original item price is more relevant, but both are accurate.
 

The only random items are the Guarenteed Wardrobe Unlock, the dye packs and the black lion keys. The mount pack gives you 3 specific skins and the vouchers let you choose what to get.

But that's why I did the second round of calculations in my second post counting only what I actually want and estimating the price I'd pay for it, because if there was a skin I wanted enough to pay full price I'd have bought it already and there's some things I wouldn't buy at all (like black lion keys). If you strictly when buy just the total cost of the items you don't need to add it up, it will always come to more than the supply drop costs.)

(It's something I started doing with music festivals - they're (almost) always good value for the total number of performers, but I'd add up what I'd pay to see each of the bands I actually want to see, factoring in travel costs, and only go if the festival is cheaper. I know I'll see more bands than the ones I already like and want to see live, and I'll probably like some of them, but I'm not going to pay based on that uncertainty.)

I still personally don't think its worth the gems.

how you know that they get less money etc? 

When I compare how EOD released with trailers, visuals etc, I can't believe this obscure expansion...

The game has a smaller dev studio and expacs are smaller.. It stands to reason.

[Why so Much Asset Reuse Lately?]

Smaller dev teams and less money from NCSoft.. Don't let the PR lie to you. The glaring examples in these trailers are easy to see this will be a very basic offering.

So looks like most of the Kryptis are clearly reused assets. The redesigns look ok, but it would have been so much cooler if they'd designed them based on the original concept art, even if it took more resources to do so.

Norns were interesting early on but became a meme of drunk viking raiders in GW2.. I have no idea why they chose the male norn posture.. maybe because they are drunk?
