    I love how you keep editing your posts to add in more content then was originally there, while pretending to take the high road and act like you of all people were furthering the conversation. You have some serious issues.

    Isn't that exactly what you are doing, pyksel? Last I checked pointing out reasons why people are not doing things, and why things are abandoned, and giving ways to fix those things, are ways to improve the game. But you seem to think that pointing out the risk v. reward imbalance issues is no...

    Is this post serious? So you ran many a fractual, a new instanced dungeon in LA, but now you know whats wrong and what isn't with PvE? You seriously don't believe the Risk v. Reward in this game is messed up? You believe the zones in this game is populated with people running around? You...

    You said you leveled your chars mostly through crafting, you don't care about PvE, and you're entirely ignorant of the state of PvE. Are you pretending to be a retard or were you always one?

    If you admit to not even playing a specific aspect of a game who are you to tell people who do that what they are saying is an uneducated guess? It's one thing to have discussions and disagreements, but it's another entirely to admit you don't even play and know something and argue with those...

    Stop with the hyperbole. No one said they have great expectations and I don't think anyone is expecting a miracle patch, let alone a miracle patch in a short time. This game has been out going on 5 months now though and they still can't fix the issue of Champions/Vets dropping loot. People...

    I can see why people who just want PvP stuff are excited as some long awaited features were confirmed to be coming out. Are you disappointed over everything else though?

    Expectations with what though? That post was 80% vague PR/Market spin where Anet is saying they are going to make things better and more awesome by improving things while neglecting to state how exactly they are going to do that and why they need to. There is some specific information that...

    Finally a step in the right direction, maybe: Edit: Saying the word "re-rewarding" lit up a small red flag, but maybe I'm reading a little bit too much into it. I hope they don't believe they have any type of "rewarding" system currently in place for anything.

    Sucks, but your email must be compromised too. Looks like Anet is downplaying the Jan update and we still don't have a due date almost in mid month.

    Guild Wars 2

    The Guildcast video I posted two pages back says it all. Anet made a list of all the things they believe people don't like and removed them from the game entirely without first asking themselves or gamers why people don't like those things. They didn't replace the systems they removed and they...

    I actually like that they banned them. Since you got on average 1.5 ectos per salvage, you always gained ectos. Using mystic kits you had only a 20% chance of losing the snowflake and if you used BL kits you always maintained it. So you really only lose the mithril ore and the occasional...

    Anet just mass banned the people who exploited the snowflake jewelry wintersday recipe that basically turned mithril ore into ectos.

    I don't watch GuildCast, but one of the most recent episodes has been floating around various sites so I gave it a look and found it actually interesting and worth the watch. Basically, they talk about GW2, some of their impressions to date (no personal achievements, little Risk v. Reward, the...

    How are outfit names/tags registered in PS2? Are they per server or game wide? I found out today after some headache that the [PRX] tag on Mattherson isn't the one Tuco is associated with in GW2, but a different guild (Prox12.com). They even call themselves "The Professionals" in-game and...

    If you enjoy something, why should someone else who calls what you enjoy garbage bother you? You're having fun, why should you care? No one has been coming into this thread to troll though, and as much as it might bother some people, this game does have issues which other people find...

    You honestly think I haven't been giving examples, or that I hate this game and want it to fail, and that I'm ignoring what the other people say?

    I'm sure it varies server by server but SoS doesn't even have call outs anymore in LA for dungeons and every time I tried to do it before I moved to gw2lfg I could hardly fill a full group for anything outside of AC. I agree about the dungeon finder but they need to go a step further and make...

    People also log off after they run their fractals and dungeons because DR kicks in to make it pointless after the first 2 runs per path, unless they are farming bosses for gold over and over with bars. There isn't a massive group of people sitting at dungeon instances anymore either. Just hit...

    The GW2 servers are definitely mostly deserted. The only zone that is populated at all in this game right now is LA and that's because it's the central hub that just happens to have the best dungeon in the game to farm as well as the holiday events (and I'm willing to bet most people are...

    I'm saying the fact that they have ignored WvW the most in this game, and refuse to make simple fixes and acknowledge problems for WvW, is a given indicator that they don't give a shit about WvW like they do everything else. You can hang up on my achievement point all you want if you like, but...

    So an Anet employee (Colin Johanson) finally decides to visit the WvW section to link Draegan's interview and every single person who replied so far was disappointed and ripped into them (Anet, not Draegan). I don't know why people always expect a miracle patch but I'm glad they are finally...

    There are some limitations, but I don't remember exactly what they are. I know guild improvements "stay" on the server you build them on so if you have a fully upgraded guild and move it to a new server you'll have to upgrade everything again. You can /w and mail cross server, talk and join...

    In terms of difficulty, nearly all of the zone events can be soloed and many that can't can be done with 2-3 people (there aren't many of these, maybe one per zone or so). Several of the Orr Events (the "end-game PvE zones") require groups and depending on the server the population may or may...

    Just did 4 hours of the snowball ctf game and had a blast. This game really dropped the ball on WvW, but some of the games and jumping puzzles they put out are amazing.

    Probably the most overlooked and underused aspect of parenting. It's just amazing what you can accomplish sometimes with just civil, non-confrontational conversation where you reaffirm your feelings to your kids and try to explain why things are what they are. It doesn't have much of an effect...

    Ok, I understand where you're coming from now. For whatever reason my e-diagnostics just leads me in a different direction at this time. From the very limited information given, the girl to me just seems like shes currently lost. Any parent to me who thinks it's a good idea to use an air...

    Yes, because not waking your child up with an air horn means you don't have any rules and you're a shitty parent. Not forcing your child to sit at a table to do her homework when you know shes not doing it because she isn't motivated and what you're trying isn't working means your a shitty...

    I haven't read anything about January and the only interview and Anet post I've seen has said February. Given that Anet tends to release updates and patches near the end of the month, we're looking at a mid - late February patch for the only part of the game that hasn't yet been improved upon...
