I just wanted to shout this out and hope that the gw developers hear this.

The thing that i hate about guild wars is that it is "untidy".

It is just one game over the other.

One thing i expect from a game company when they develop a game, is that it is polished. That it has its rules and is clear instead of confusing.

Guild wars does have that but it is also very unpolished. What i mean is that it has got many things (they are not too major but many small things destroy a game) that dont work and the developers just found a way to cover the problem up and not just repair it.

It seems like a lot of the work in guild wars was started good but ended with haste. As if there was no time to make it perfect. And i think what players want, and specially what the developers want is the game to be perfect and polished.

Im thinking about making a list about what should be polished but im not shure if i will do that.

Any examples you can give us of these "Many things that don't work"?

Here's one: not being able to unlock Hero Battles without deleting a PvE character to make a PvP one. Which means I can't go to the frigging Hero Battles area on the frigging Hero Battles weekend, because I'm NOT going to delete a frigging PvE character.

This is lengthy but take 2 mins out to read it, bet you've had similar experiences...


I left guild wars 2 months ago, over ridiculous error and lag issues. Playing Elites was pretty much the only kick I was getting out of play, yet I only ever got a few games out of literally hundreds that didn't have some guy getting err7.

I left to play Eve Online and Warcraft. Absolutely impressed. In game technicians sorted all problems just by messaging them. Disconnections didn't matter because players would come back into the party when they logged back in. List goes on.


Anyway, yesterday I decided to give GW another shot. I bought Nightfall.

Guess what? Trying to get into Elona from Keineng Centre by doing the quest results in err 005s and err 019s.

So I check my ports, Virus software and Firewall and msg support to let them know what the errors were and what i've done to try to fix it.

AUTOMATED BLOODY REPLY telling me to check my ports.

I reply.

ANOTHER AUTOMATED BLOODY REPLY telling me to chk my virus software.

I reply


YET ANOTHER AUTOMATED REPLY reccommending virus software.


I ask for my money back.

AUTOMATED REPLY AGAIN telling me they've passed the issue on to a senior technician.



So.

I go and play in prophecies and factions and all is working fine, i got a few err7s and so did some other guys in ToPK and FoW. Usual nonsense.

Then I notice some ridiculous AI going on. Complete timewasting nonsense like they retreat and regen. Obviously an anti-farm measure (regardless of what the 'official' spin is).

Hit UW. Oh looky, spirit-bond is nerfed. The UW run takes at least 10 mins longer. Whats the point in that? Playing in small teams in UW and FoW means I dont have to put up with lots of irritating PUGS and I can get some chill-time.

ITS FUN, WHY NERF?

I'm sure lots of other nerfs have taken place but I've only been back since yesterday.




To The OP..

Factions was a joke, that's the census of the majority. Nightfall should have been the second installment.

Now heres something that you notice whan youve taken 2 months out-

The characters look ridiculous! Yes. The artwork doesn't blend between the 3 campaigns. There is some gorgeous art, such as the luxon monk 15k and the Rit FoW, and some others. But most of the art is utterly pants, utterly.


Prophecies weapons look dated mostly, compared to factions weapons. Nightfall weapons are pretty organic looking so they blend better, but unimpressive all the same.

What about all the players who've been crying out for the auction hall for over a year?

Screw them.

Anet have consistently and arrogantly ignored the demands of players who really Do know how to improve the game.

Am I lying? Read the complaints on this forum.


This post is getting lengthy, I'll add more when the thread kicks off.

Then don't start a discussion. There was no reason to make a new topic complaining about the game, when a hundred other topics already exist on it. It doesn't even help that we can't discuss anything about it, because...you were too lazy to make your list.

If you're going to attempt to start a discussion be sure to actually give us something to discuss about. As you can see, your lack of anything in the main post has already made this thread go absolutely nowhere.

Feel free to search up the threads you want to add your various complaints to and add to them. Just don't make anymore "I don't like this, but I'm not going to tell you why" threads.
