Guild Wars 2 is great for guys like me. I want the mmorpg but with three kids and a full time job I just don't have the time to invest in games like I once could. With GW2 I can log in for an hour or two once or twice a week and feel like I'm able to do something. The personal story/living world is something you can solo without waiting for a group but is still challenging. Some of those boss fights solo are rough... I'm looking at you Glint's Lair. Get on the world boss train and you can get some nice loot with the zerg. There are also TONS of achievements for each zone and story step.

Another reminder: yet another episode from Living Story Season 2 opened up yesterday, so if you log in, in the next two weeks it will be added to your journal for free. You can always play it later, it will be forever unlocked for you. After those two weeks, you will have to fork over 500 gems if you did not unlock it.

PvP changes with yesterday's patch are garbage. There's so many aspects of it that are WTF.

-What was the point of making being in the Mists a requirement to queue for rated?
-Why would they make a big deal about fixing the 4v5 game problem and then...release a patch that did not fix the problem? People are still getting 4v5s.
-Why would they think the mandatory 10-man check would make it to release and somehow escape the attention of trolls? Last night it was a 40 minute queue during primetime because there was a enough people in the Mists refusing to accept the queue to make it impossible.
-Why Courtyard? Why fucking Courtyard?

New changes to dailies achievements coming, daily login rewards, monthly going away after dec.

Introducing the New Daily Achievement System | GuildWars2.com


They are also testing some temporary changes to wvw coming next tuesday.

John Corpening.9847:
Hello All,
There was quite a lot of discussion around the proposal of removing white swords from objectives in WvW. We understand there are concerns about how this change might work in practice or how player behavior may change as a result of it. We felt like the best way to understand fully the impact, and give players a chance to see for themselves how it directly changes the WvW experience is to let people try it and see what they think.

We have decided to run a special multi-week event in WvW where we'll be changing some of the "rules" of WvW for a limited time. This event will feature two major rule changes while it is running: we are planning to remove white swords from objectives, and add points per kill in WvW to the over-all score for the duration of this event. We are currently targeting December for this event but will keep you posted when we have dates nailed down for certain. If this type of event is successful, we may look to do more events like this in the future where for short periods of time the rules of WvW are changed to different rules, scoring and scenarios to help both keep the game fresh, as well as to change up the experience and try new fun things for WvW.

We look forward to your feedback once the event begins, both on the temporary event only changes, as well as the concept of these special events in WvW.

Thanks,
John

Removal of white sword warnings, which means scouting will be much more important (all the while still not rewarding the players for doing so), not sure what retard would have suggested this in the first place, it came about when the devs did their run with guilds during the last wvw season. Points gained per kill and not just from stomps when you have bloodlust buff, I'm sure that will make all the gvg guilds happy.


pentalty, play what you want to play, most classes work for either, just have to research specs on which roles you going for, check the class forums.

Generally berserker power stats for pve, both berserker power and condition damage can work for wvw/pvp. OP classes in pvp? condition generally does better for small group/roaming situations, condition thieves, condition mesmers, condition necros, nike warriors etc. Power necros, staff elementalist are better suited for groups. You have super regen warriors and guardians who can out tank your damage. Guardian is the one class anyone wants for their group.

Basically, you get your daily after 3 (instead of 5), and you get your monthly just for logging in (which you should do anyway to give your guild influence).

On PvP side enginer and elementalist are very good right now. In WvW most class with a certain build will do well.

Literally every single fucking name is taken in this game. Even abstract ones I used for characters back in Everquest. What in the fuck.

Far from it. Only thing that would make the GvG guilds happy is if ANet recognized the 15v15/20v20 format with PvE/WvW gear, while having a queue system for private matches ala sPvP/GW1 GvG.

Having to endlessly posture for a week with the different guilds and their inflated egos, only to have your shit disrupted in Obsidian Sanctum gets old after a while.

Well no doubt that's ultimately what they want, don't know if we will ever see that system in gw2 any time soon if at all. They were given their own area without the bloodlust to fight in, and now they can earn points for their server, if they ever gave a shit about that, for doing what their specialty is just fighting. Maybe at some point Anet will turn OS into a megaserver area (like eotm) and allow guilds from any tier to meet up there for fights.

You can make name + middle name + surname up to the character limit. Like "John Fucker Jr".

Formal announcement coming at PAX East. I fucking hope it's not an expansion, the living story has been so riveting it definitely needs a third season !

I don't see how it could not be an expansion, they made a logo. Maybe they're just going to sell a new box with the living story content unlocked in it or some shit, but that sounds unlikely. Seems like an expansion that follows the current living story(based on the little I've seen from it and the way the logo looks).

PAX South (end of jan), not East (march).

They don't trademark bits of the game, however, they always trademarked expansions (including the abandoned Utopia expansion). So yea, either it's a packaged version with Living Story unlocked, or an expansion.

Awesome. I hope for a Henchmen/Hero feature, only usable in Dungeons and Fractals. Or maybe just Dungeons. The overland map is fine with the Dynamic Events and levelscaling, so does not need that feature, but I can't be bothered to be part of the Speed Dungeon crowd. Or the PUG crowd that does not know what they are doing (which usually includes me). Or the friends that I do not have in this game. Besides, fiddling with Henchmen, finding the best synergy between builds and classes was a great game in itself, did that for almost a year in GW1.

I would be surprised if they was anything significant. The lead dev for release was a dirty clicker. Let that sink in. The guy in charge of the game was a clicker.

Actually thinking about it, it's probably not an expansion. They'll rerelease the game, with the season of living story included, maybe a new quest at the start that sums up living story 1, free access without logging in to all season 3 living story(which the logo hints at) and maybe a bunch of skins and shit like that. Starts at lower than normal price since it replaces the normal game, say 20 or 30bucks or so. So yeah, nothing.

Meanwhile in FFXIV, Triple Triad and Chocobo Racing. And flying mounts. And 3 new classes.

Yea, pretty sure this will only be a re-branding of the retail/digital boxes that give the base game + all the LS2 content added in. I think at -most- we might get a new class, or more likely some new weapons opening up for existing classes. Sad, considering the base world they have to build off of from GW1.
