DarkK.7368

Sorry if I was misunderstood. My main mode is PVP, so I follow the feeling of "playing mainly for the fun and getting better". I come from Dark souls dueling. I play WvW with a friend, and I'm not super attracted to it, because most of the time it's big groups where you don't know what's happening, follow the leader, that's why I tend to think about that. But it's true, if everyone just did attack and not defense, it would be boring. That's why I would prefer if rewards for defense were as good as for offense. That way, people like me that is not into WvW just for the fun factor, would have more reasons to defende and create fun scenarios for everyone.0 Anything that improves WvW to be skill based I'm up. Maybe I just cannot totally understand it, at least for big blobs zergs. When you roam and do some 1vs1 or 2vs2 then yeah, I love that experience. But roaming will always give almost zero reward vs blob capturing things, and if I want small-scale fights, I enjoy more PVP, so... Complicated.

Being able to add rifles skins into harpoon rifles and viceversa would be amazing! To be fair, it would also be tridents-staffs and spears-greatswords. Just duplicate the skins, the same way we have lot of harpoon rifles with the rifle skins duplicated for old ones! Same for aqua breather to use ground-head skins!

I don't think it's sane to call it "your main life", but I totally get your point. I'm treating this game as my "second life". I even did a self insert, my character here is a version of myself that trains a lot and is powerful and motivates my real self to be like him. In part that's why I fear GW3. I'll keep playing GW2 because I only played for a pair of years, I paid for all the expansions and I want to enjoy all the content I missed for not playing the last 10 years. But if some day GW3 comes... that depends. If it's like GW2 but better (that means also having this ncie PVP, not only PVE), and that means GW2 will stop getting updates... then I suppose I'll have no problem starting again. It's like when I loved playing the dark souls to a close point to "my second life". Each time a new dark souls appeared I just jumped in. I did not feel I lost anything, because was the same game, just better. Same essence, same love. And I go where the highest population is, cause I love to coop and pvp with them. So... if GW3 has the same essence, then good. If GW3 happens to be too much different and I can't call it to have its essence (like removing PVP, what seems feasible seeing how ignored is PVP in GW2) then I won't feel good swapping and that will hurt me so much

Isn't precisely that the point? If the game is fun and I want to play it a lot, then I'll buy gemstore skins. No matter if I play fractals, raids, PVE stuff, or if I play WvW. So WvW should be as much monetizable as PVE. Maybe a bit less cause you can't monetize other mounts there, but for armor, visuals and that, same as monetizable as PVE. ASIDE FROM THAT. I see people arguing about "why should I defense now". My question (I'm not super experienced in WvW) is, WHY DEFEND AT ALL? Getting towers and keeps, killing the champions can drop the infusion to make you rich. And gives lot of experience. When I play WvW, I'm encouraged to let the enemy capture everything and then I recapture. Why should I bother with defending other than fun? I see that a core flaw that must be adressed first

I like water content. I like swimming. It's beautiful, and I like water skills. It helps that all my utility works underwater. But when my helmet and my weapon suddenly disappears and changes, it breaks my inmersion so much. I've even been thinking into changing my head for the aqua breather skin, and using rifle skins that are exactly the same as harpoon skins, to be 100% consistent. I like them. But I would like to use some heads and rifles that may be a lot better. But that unconsistency kills me. Anyone suffered that? What did you do in the end? I just discovered rifle is hold mirrored than harpoon in back, but I'll ignore that small detail

I want "Synergetics Hoverbike Skimmer Skin" to return so I can buy it 😄

I thought I was doing well with Reaper... until discovering that the skill ceiling is low and yeah, you'll do good at start, but experience and practice won't allow you to go much deeper. I'm a player coming from Dark Souls and I'm addicted/obsessed for that type of reactive combat and fights. I managed to love GW2 combat with conditions, boons, cooldown or resources management... But I'm not able to reach the point to get to a class where I can feel the joy of duel. I want to feel good fights solo roaming in WvW. I want to be able to read enemies and, with my class learning and experience, be able to get more of it. But I hate concept of rotations. I don't want to waste and absurd amount of time and resources memorizing my skill order like hitting a wall. I want to learn to react to the situation, to the enemies. What profession and weapon can be better to achieve that type of combat and feeling I want? And of course being efficient, I don't want to lose all fights in WvW XD I tried nearly all classes but I can't decide and I feel my mind is lagging and I can't think clearly. I need help.

Didn't think of that, @JTGuevara.9018. I'm kinda scared now. I agree with title. I don't thinl this beta will attract players. I don't like alliances. But I don't want WvW to turn PvP like you say. I like the chaotic nature of WvW, people roaming there, doing that, random encounters, fresh experiences... I like the eternal cycle of capturing. I like fighting. I like dueling. I agree that the game needs more mechanics and rewards to encourage defending. Sometimes it's dumb to endlessly capture and even let enemy capture because it's more profit to just capture again. Give me champion bags and lots of participation and WvW experience and materials AND GOLD FOR THE LOVE OF GOD for defending. It would be more fun. I also agree that I prefer if the system encouraged 10-people parties instead of 50-people zerging. I also agree that having some "end" would be nice. Some goal. But turning WvW into a PvP with 30 minutes fights would kill the game mode for me. You want some "end"? How about having quests? - You enter WvW. Your leader NPC gives you a quest for today. You have 2 hours to capture an enemy tower, there steal some intel, give that intel to my contact in our ally tower in the east, and there plan an attack to exterminate the oggre's camp. Oggre's found an special material and our enemies know that. So with our enemies intel, we can get that material and take advantage. And voilá! We have our quests to play WvW and feel it has an end, a "match" for the day, without ruining the game mode. Just an example with random quests everyday.

I'm sorry if I can't post this here. But this hundred of people writing their wanted server and where they ended... What's the purpose? Are we going to get it fixed if we write our situation? (My friend checked with a clan but ended in a different server)

I have 6 pieces, I use heal, an ice explosion happens... but enemies says "Miss". No damage, no chill. Even if target is lockon. Am I missing something? https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Superior_Rune_of_Grenth Edit: solved. My corruption heal blinded me on cast...

A lot of people claims they checked it long before the date. Yes, my friend checked the box 1 hour before the reset. That super hidden checkbox nearly nobody knows about that can totally screw your playing experience and the system allows you to check even if you supposedly are late. It's a bad system and I hope they allow for manual swaps because it seems a mess in both perspectives. You can't allow people to do so big mistakes and totally ruin their experience this easily and without a future fix. Cheers for the team, no blame, doing launches is hard, and I hope they have time and resources to fix that. No hurry. But I DON'T want my partner to be screwed for months without a fix, that would totally suck

Another one here. My friend an I both are in the same guild and marked the checkbox, but we are placed in colors and servers different and cannot play together. Glad to see it's happening to a lot of people even today so it can get fixed!

Happened the same to me. It says it's fixed but it's not
