The most disappointing thing in GW.

- Players that don't appreciate producers' efforts (= whiners)
- Rude/Stupid people
(those two are not exactly related to the game)
- The Strength Attribute
- How Adrenaline was implemented
- Non-stacking
- Storage space
- Lag (doesn't really happen all the time)
- And finally: unbalance (such as, easy to play with some professions/builds and too hard to play with others)

I really don't care about Ursan. Keep it, nerf it, remove it, I don't care. It is perfectly possible to make a party ursan-free or ursan-only. The instance is created for your party only so you're not playing with other people using it or not! So why bother!?

Oh, there is one other thing I don't like, though it is not exactly disappointing (that's very strong). I don't like second professions. OK, now, kill me. =P

[EDIT] Sorry, I forgot one important item in this list. Strength.

One problem I had with ursan was that my last alliance used it EVERYWHERE, not just elite areas but in missions and vanquishes too. The leading guild of the alliance would be continuously spamming for 6 ursans 2 monks for a vanq, and then they would be spamming for 30-60 minutes for 2 monks (lol). It was hella annoying.

1, yes, i really believe that.
2, yes i am QQing because i'm not sure if you're blind or something but this thread is about QQing, as the OP himself pointed.
3, again i'm not sure you're blind or just stupid, but i'm not comparing GW here with any other game
4, i really don't see where you're trying to get trolling back at me on a thread about peoples turn offs. With that behavior you're the one who shouldn't post here. I wasn't trying to insult anyone.

Bonus Mission Pack and for the most part EOTN's story

oh...and Droknar's weapons. Endgame of a new expansion and they all look the same (like someone threw up on them)

hah well interesting way of putting it, but yeh I think they could have been more creative with the skins.

Looking back now after doing Prophecies/Factions/Nightfall/EotN

I would have to say the end of game Prophecies to me is disappointing because nothing happens - no hurray you did it - you are a hero - not even a cookie

Other than that - the set up of DoA - I found disappointing when I got there and I don't go there much now - actually I'd rather go anywhere else, luckily most everyone I play with feels the same.

The most disappointing thing I've found is the set up of the HoM and title based grinding that forces you to play one character in order to progress. You are given the choice of accomplish as much as possible before GW2 or ignore progression in favor of experimentation with multiple characters. If you opt for experimenting with multiple characters people assume you are a noob because you aren't sporting "God Amongst.." Title. I don't understand why Anet didn't make HoM progression account based instead of character based and all your progress counts toward something. The other thing I find disappointing is the end of game green weapons and the 3 hero limit.

^ Totally agree.

How is your client supposed to cope when it stops receiving position updates from the server? It has to take its best guess (known as client-side prediction - all networked games use this mechanism). When the client can talk to the server again, then it has to sync up again. I suppose Anet could reduce the allowable estimation time, limiting the distance you can travel, but that would end up making small hiccups in the data stream more noticeable.

Honestly, it's a pretty tough problem, and there's no perfect solution to it. It's a bit like blaming your car when you get stuck in traffic.

Uh...no I don't think so.

Ursan And That Cursed Zaishen Chest

Well actually, balance wise, all non core professions are train wrecks for this game that need getting rid of.

Ursan by far....
players farm mad titles and think theyre pro without ever playing their class

In Ursan heaven, there are two classes... bear-wannabees and monks.

Ursan
end of Prophecies

<--- Wut he said.

Capture points in HA, Polymock, HvH.

most disapointing thing to me is how when titles came out, they didnt alter pre-searing, and made LDoA the hardest title to get (besides KoaBD and stuff)
i have a lvl 14 and 52% ranger in pre... i got about 90 hours logged, and then worst of all...the DEATH LVL! OMFG WHAT A PAIN. it seems anet wants u to sit there while u get death levels, because after 10 hours of no activivty, WHAM! booted from the game... this is pissing me off!

Anet's lack of support for Hero Battles.

for me: its annoying seeing "inscriptable", i'd like to see simpler language so that non english speakers/12 year olds can comunicate easily (i'm neither)

The implementation of grind based titles and the like.

Not being able to go wherever looks interesting in the game

The basic change to the game with the advent of NF and Factions that prevented me from exploring where I wanted as I wanted. My favorite aspect of Prophecies was deciding to, "go that way today and see what there is to be seen."

pritty much anything that made our economy the way it is ^_^

Exactly. Gone are the days when you had to go to elite areas and study hardmode areas for a decent amount of time to make sure all professions had the right skill set up.

Now, don't think I'm going to whine at Ursan here because I'm a crappy level at it. I'm max, I have the skill, plus I do go in Ursan parties, but it's ruined GW. Why? LOOK AT THE GAME! It has different professions. That's GW! Different professions that need to be combined and compliment each other for you to be able to battle and crack high end quests. With Ursan, you just need that spell and a few monks. Done. When GW2 comes out, the Norn really don't need that skill! Or it needs a mighty re-think so that every player isn't a Norn Character. GW2 is supposed to have different races with different professions right? But if Ursan Blessing is the same in that game (if it's even used at all) then it nees to be altered a lot, otherwise in every town and outpost, all you'll have are Norn charactersm because Ursan can do EVERYTHING FOR YOU.

Good things? Well yes, in the past if you didn't have Propechies or Nightfall for example and groups required that you had spells from those campaigns to be able to get into high end groups/levels, then you'd be buggered. You didn't have the skills, so the group leader would have kicked you. Now, all you need is one campaign and the expansion of EoTN. So you have them and you can get into high end areas at a breeze, where as in the past it might have been hard for you and maybe too daunting. So it helps new people try out these high level areas with a good Norn rank.

But my point about it completely ruining high level areas where you actually used the game as it should be played still stands. No more do you require deep meaningful thinking about what professions and skills to be used. No more do you need to spend a good while discussing tactics etc. Everyone just grabs Ursan and goes running around. I've said I'm max rank in Norn and use Ursan, but the tactics for it are pathetic. It ruins all professions - basically what GW is about. Make believe characters with skills that can compliment each other.

I really pray that the Norn chars in GW2 don't have Ursan blessing, otherwise every single player in Gw with be a bloody Norn.

Ursan.

The game is no longer a challenge because of it.

There's a thread buried on guru somewhere that I started, right after EotN came out. My point was that Ursan is going to be way, way, way too powerful - and that people will start spamming for Ursan only groups so they can blow through the elite areas spamming the same two Ursan skills. That was the vision I had for the future of the game.

My other point was that bad play (and poor/new players) would be able to beat the elite areas and therefore there would be no need to improve at GW anymore.

People responded to me overwhelmingly, calling me an idiot, etc and all kinds of flames since I didn't have any "evidence" that Ursan would be a big deal.

So um... lol... told you so!

Im not really dissapointed in anything

as I have low expectations of games anyway

1st- The Player base= Because of the people being people ideology, I never join a group anymore and pretty much stay in areas where there aren't any. I have gotten sick of the insults and stupid remarks just for asking a question from little "hide behind your monitor" types I would choke in real life.

2nd- Lootscaling= Everything from elite armor to tomes cost a fortune to buy and the drops you recieve from battles are miniscule in proportion. Merchant prices are outrageous (example= most runes have very little value at all). I recently spent a weekend farming an area and only got 1 gold drop the entire weekend. Some of my best areas I used to farm are impossible now. I kill a boss in a quest or a mission and recieve a few coins or a garbage weapon at best- I have never had a green drop ever in this game. I won't even talk about chests.

3rd- Heros= You should be able to use more than 3 to fill a party of 8 if you have them and when I flag them to stay put, STAY PUT. Also, when I click on a target, they should be attacking that target and not running around like most of the player groups I've encountered attacking anything they like.

Simply not true.

Rubberbanding (lag).

And people who QQ about skill updates. Learn2live with them.

It is true in the context of PvP, and its not just the expansion classes but there have been long standing issues with core class abilities like soul reaping. As with paragons, that kind of inherent energy reproduction ability has turned out to be bad for the game. Izzy himself has stated this on a number of occasions.

New classes have simply eradicated the balance that existed prior to their introduction. Each class has had their own problems, teleports, combo insta kills, spirits, shouts, mindless attack spamming and stupid forms all did there bit to create problems for the game. Its not just new classes either, but the introduction of overpowered skills for core classes in subsequent expansions.

As for PvE, I'm not sure. Many skills are problematic, but whether the classes themselves are a problem I'm not sure.

biggest "disappointment" is that GW tries to be too many things at once, and truly succeeded in none of them.

The searing was my biggest dissappointment...

what has become of all pvp except gvg (that's also not as good as it was).

The first ime I left preSearing, I deleted the character and make a new character in preSearing, XD

It was too much shock, XD.

Haha same here. Well not delete, But I did make a new one.

The most disappointing thing to me is the dead silence (and empty party search panel) you find in many mission towns that are full of players with little blue "8"s over their heads. Kind of deflating.

So... heroes are your biggest disappointment?

Nope. Just the silence that ensues.

what bugs me is the whole "WTB/WTS" seems like an easy way would be...

example:
BUYING 3 ecto
or
B-3 ecto

S-3 ecto

then just look for the S and B (the 1st letter) instead of having to look at the 3 frickin' letter. Just makes more sense and makes it easier to read an alrdy busy trade channel

Alot of things like for example You go into to do Duncan, you finally get your party filled, everyone is asked if they have the other boss's killed, and they say yes... You arrive to Slavers and the door won't open ....
