  1. Man people get hyped up over little purple named virtual clothing don't they.. You chose to grind like a prisoner in a rock quarry to get those things and now you're mad because they are changing it.. You chose to chase that carrot, you were not forced, its really on you.

    I am ok with rune changes if it actually balances the runes.. Many of which are hot trash. So don't wreck a system because you chased some lemming grind.

    Several years ago there was a thread where someone official from Arena Net said that ArcDPS was OK. Definitely at own risk, not supported, etc, but the principle of what it was doing was allowed. Of course Arena Net might change their mind but given how widely used ArcDPS is I think they would publish that they were changing their mind before going after people.

    Unfortunately I don't know where the thread/page is - Google might find it or someone else might link it.

    That was a long time ago. Are these new devs still ok with it?

    What's up with all these alt accounts posting Youtube Videos these days? 

    Annoying. 

    How else would we see them.. Actually going to Youtube you get blasted with useless ads and social engineering..

    SWTOR didn't just go into maintenance mode. It went from one EA studio (BioWare) to another one (Broadsword) also with half the team of SWTOR going to Broadsword.

    And I think that you mistake this forum for a place where the larger player base comes to discuss things. Most players never come here. The main thing that angers people (and they have a point imo) is how they're treating the legendary runes situation. But very few players actually have legendary runes at all, so that is not a concern for the vast majority of the player base.

    Broadsword manages maintenance mmo's two at this time, very old ones. So many people are saying SWTOR is in maintenance mode, is it? Time will tell. Hopefully GW2 will have a longer shelf life but if SoTO isn't received well, who knows.

    I got curious, so here's the GW2 YOY earnings in millions of KRW, adjusted for inflation to 2022 numbers:

    2012 - 193,399

    2013 - 142,811

    2014 - 97,923

    2015 - 114,145

    2016 - 86,181

    2017 - 57,948

    2018 - 87,142

    2019 - 63,554

    2020 - 65,869

    2021 - 77,497

    2022 - 94,972

    Last year was the best year for GW2 sales since 2015.

     

    If that is Korean numbers for a whole year we could be in bigger trouble than we gamers think.. Those numbers are really small for a MMORPG. and gaming in general. I wonder how NCSoft is taking all this in. Do we have figures for their other MMO's?

    I was told this week by a EB Games staffer that Guildwars 2 Gem cards in Australia have been discontinued.. Which means we can no longer get them, he told me to buy what i can because when their supply ends its gone forever..

    I'm not sure how to take that as once my gem cards are gone i honestly cannot buy anymore Gems now due to the crazy conversion prices added to them.. I might need to stop, which means i might not be playing much in the future. which means even less money to this game..

    I find fashion wars on Heavy classes extremely limited.  Especially when Anet puts nice shirts in the Gem Store and heavy had no normal pants to go along with it. 

    If I want something more medium looking, I HAVE to use outfits. But currently all the outfits glow like super saiyans. 

    New weapons? So shiny the should pulse blindness. 

    I would pay big bucks for some normal pants. 

    Medium.. So many trenchcoats..

    I mean... I'm a dude with even income that just sits there. I have no problem to drop money on the Gem Store. 

    Except for the fact that Anet simply doesn't add anything that I would buy.

    Its always shiny this shiny that. 

    Yes i agree there 99% of the shop stuff i have no interest in myself. Very little is useful and a lot just looks quite silly.

    Seems that your idea of "communication" is for devs to do everything that the complainers say and not follow their own vision of the game? Doesn't sound like communication to me.

    "Change the game or it means you're not communicating".  If they "communicated" the fact that they won't add/change the things people wanted, then they would still be bitter and rant on the forums because it wouldn't be the type of communication some people would want.

    Whats the point of a vision if nobody else shares it..

  8. Lots of people are saying its worth it but the content in my opinion seems low.. Runes, Relics, mount skills, old weapons on any specs, legendary armor.. that's really all fluff.

    Where the meat is is in the stories and map content the loot and the extras.. and honestly that's looking slim.

    It seems no one cares about how hard the devs have to work, because in a lot of threads, they keep bashing the devs, which is not right.

    Well to be fair EoD and Gyala Delve really didn't satisfy the players and they worry for future releases.. Its not Dev hate its Wasting money in a terrible economy..

    yes, you can use safely (you won't get banned).

    no, I won't do it. Last time I try to use it, I had to reinstall both the game client AND windows cuz that thing managed to screw them both.

    Yes same last time i tried it ages ago it messed my game as well.

    So, should we forbid John from eating a piece of cake because Sarah is diabetic?

    Should all social media, computer games, and the like be banned because some people can become addicted to them?

    Red meat...illegal because some people might choose to eat too much of it?

    Opposing authoriatianism and supporting individual freedom is not defending gambling. As previously mentioned I find gambling in games such as this one to be abhorrent.

    Attempting to deprive most people of self determination is not compassion. Doing so via force of government, which is always backed by men and women with guns, is tyranny. And compassion, the emotion, may not be harmful but actions taken because of compassion often are some of the most harmful. Ask Mao about The Great Leap Forward.

    I usually agree with a lot of what you say. But thats a pretty terrible argument for gambling.

    If you had read the article they wrote about Relics, you'd know that the core relics can be crafted and aren't accountbound, so can be traded on the TP. Expansion relics will be obtained through collections, achievements and story progression and are not tradeable. No, they will not sell overpowered versions on the gemstore because they only sell aesthetic and QoL items. If they did it would make GW2 P2W and despite what some people believe there is no P2W in this game.

    Ok thank you, i seldom read twitter or blog posts as i can never find them on the forums.

    Man, there sure are a lot of people mad about OW getting a legendary set in here. They even use a smiliar rhetoric 😅.

     

    Also, on the legendary armour effects:
    Pretty sure it's just some effects in combat.
    "A future release will introduce a brand-new set of legendary armor that becomes infused with magic in combat. Essential materials and components for legendary armor collection will be available beginning at launch, so you can build up resources right away!" - https://www.guildwars2.com/en/secrets-of-the-obscure/

    Some people don't like others getting what they got.. And if they get it easier omg its apocalypse times.. If they ever wanted people back in the old Tyria dungeons they could add those to a ow legendary set.
