What does playing the game mean?ie how many hours per day / week / month / year is defined as playing the game.I play for around 2 hours a month, is that playing the game?

Ive been playing this game since it started and Ive asked repeatedly on this forum can someone actually define in an objective way what challenging content is .Ive never got an answer.GW2 is a game , its not a school classroom where you MUST learn things.Games are designed to provide entertainment for EVERYONE, not just for players who are obsessed with challenging content.Easy content is still fun.

I gave away all the living stories years ago, simply because they arnt fun.Just a mindless keyboard mashing exercise that goes on and on and eventually Ill probably win , but its just a fight of attrition where you slowly wear down some super monster after multiple retries from checkpoints and consuming multiple repair canisters.There seems to be a mindset in this game that all the activities MUST be challenging, whatever that means , but challenging to me means its not fun.

It seems to be really good at targeting mobs like jungle boars or moas, but wont target some badguys standing right in front of you.One of the targeting options like target nearest ally has never worked since the games inception.Its possible that the targeting code was written by someone who is no longer with Anet, so no one knows how to fix it.

MMos are simply to provide fun for players.I log on and play because I have fun doing so.Its makes no differance as to whether Anet is providing weekly updates or saying nothing at all.If the game wasnt fun I wouldnt be playing it.

You do know that its possible to play more than 1 game at once.Lets ask a thorny question.If GW2 introduced a monthly sub and WOW became a FTP game , what would you do???

How is the elevation being measured as there is no requirement for all the maps to have the water level at the same level.The only elevation standard would be sea level which only allows elevation comparisons to be made if those maps have a coastline.For inland maps there is no way to measure elevation as there is no datum for ground level.

The single biggest problem with the game is the players who rush through all the content as fast as they possibly can , and then complain that there is nothing left for them to do , so Anet should churn out new content as fast as the players can keep up, which is simply dreaming.Ive been playing since the game has started and I havnt even finished HOT yet , let alone POF.I wont be ready or need an expansion for years.

To whom is it a good idea?Far too much of these forums is simply Anet should do this or Anet should do that and that whatever they do , it costs them nothing.Programmers time is not free.Explain how Anet pays for the effort to do this , and more importantly what they stop doing in the meantime.

You wont get one simply because that would devalue the existing flying mounts and all the time and effort that the players have put in to making them.

The movement is the biggest problem.This game doesnt have a follow function, so who would control the movement of the passenger player?

ncsoft produces gw2? Wheres my skin tight over revealing heavy bikini armor! Do you actually understand what the producer of a game does?The producer of a game is the Company that provides the capital to allow the game to be made , and that company is NCsoft who are the sole owners of Anet.

Maybe they have no plans for the future, or simply dont know themselves.Why dont you address all your concerns to the CEO of Ncsoft who are the games producer.

Its the Skritt mentality of I just gotta have all the shinies.Doesnt matter how hard they are to make or get, or what they do or dont do , I just gotta have it because its there.And the game companies know this , which is why they keep introducing more and more mega hard to get stuff, just so that the players will want it.Nothing in this game will ever be the ultimate reward, because that then stops the race for more shinies.

Can someone please explain what challenging play is , in terms that are understandable?

Thanks.Thats around the sort of figure I estimated also based on the startup time and my maximum Internet download rate.Just seemed high and I wondered what all the data is for.Seems to be roughly the same regardless of what time of the day I log in so doesnt appear related to how many other players are playing.

This is just a technical question that someone may have figured out at some stage.How much data does the client need to download from the Server before the game actually starts, ie your character appears in the world somewhere.Im not including upgrades or patches.Trying to work out if I have a network bottleneck, as I just added a SSD to my main PC , and this has increased the speed of the game immensely, but only after the game has started, ie after my character appears in the world.The startup time hasnt changed.

If every player in the game had a legendary weapon, they would no longer be legendary.The whole idea behind hard to get items , is that its not intended that everyone in the game will have one.

Mystic Coins like everything else in this game have an unlimited supply.If I have a hundred gazillion Mystic Coins in my bank, it has no effect on anyone else being able to get more.These types of posts happen every time Anet releases some new shiny thing that everyone just has to have NOW, and they dont have enuf MCs to make them, so they turn to the TP and find the price has gone up because everyone wants them NOW.

Quite a few of these around and got me wondering whats the history behind them , and why players like us cant use them on a normal basis.For example the Sniper rifles in the fields of ruin, range 5000 which is miles better than anything players have.Who built them .Then theres the ubiquitous Mega Lasers than can blow dragons out of the sky.If someone can build megalasers, can they also build smaller hand held lasers.Miles better than players with bows and arrows.Then theres Iron Legion Machine guns , obviously built by the Charr, and miles better than any player weapons.Maybe its time to introduce a new form of crafting into the game so that players can learn how to make such weapons.Would have to be far harder than building existing legendary weapons and to maintain balance would also need severe restrictions on how often such weapons could be used.eg building a player mega laser would take the same resources as 10 legendaries, and would have a cooldown of 1 day, ie you get 1 shot per day.

The game seems to have a mindset of kill everything as quickly as possible , and the addition of mounts has just made this worse.I cant see any solution.

I have no view on new chars, as I havnt as yet played all the existing chars.I woudnt mind though the addition of a new skill like WOW Shamans have called 2nd sight which allows you to see beyond the games horizon, so you can see over walls or other obstructions which block sight.That way you could see whats in the Tengu city.I suspect the answer is nothing , ie its not rendered.

Capped sources are only a problem if the item is not tradable, ie cant be bought on the TP.For items which can be bought on the TP there are 2 sources , namely finding the item in the conventional way, or players who already have the item deciding to sell them on the TP because the price is right.There are currently around 22000 MCs for sale on the TP, so there is no lack of supply.Ive seen the numbers of MCs on the TP for sale drop as low as 6000 in the past, yet even then the price was lower than the current price is.All prices in popular items in this game will slowly keep rising simply because like all MMOs , this game has inflation of the money supply and no mechanism to stop it.Best you can do is slow it down.

Something wrong if you are getting 400- 500 pings.Im In the ACT and get consistant 250 - 280 pings maximum to the US Servers.If you use a service like Lowerping you can do a little better.

Need to compare apples with apples.How big is the world of tyria compared to the real world ?
