Guild Wars 2

All this arguing is because neither side will back down and they all feel the need to respond. InKursion focusing on the keybind issue says to me he is not really trolling but really doesnt like that he cant keybind and what others are suggesting arent really ideal solutions.

I really dont think either side can add anything more to the subject that will be of use so someones got to back down because you are going to get nowhere.
 
I said on a previous post that so far the game has been too easy. Since then things as a warrior has gotten more difficult which is good. I am not sure if the easiness was down to being a warrior thats strong at early levels or being part of the initial zerg rush or bad scaling of difficulty when there is too many people.

Now I have started an elementalist and found there was actually stuff to kill in the beginning section of the game and that it is possible to die at low levels so I guess now I get a better idea of what the game will be like in the end.

Why would people just want positives?

I'm not beta testing and it's great to be able to hear some flaws in the game so I am getting the whole picture not the constant love poems of bhavv and a few others in here.

Please tell me a single valid negative that has been given other than poor performance (its a beta thats been designed as a hardware stress on purpose), and this non issue of not having any alt / ctrl skill bindings when they absolutely are not needed with only 10 skills (e.g. R, F, T, G buttons are right next to WASD, you can easily remap heal and utility skills 6-9 to those keys if you need).

Its not a valid complaint that the game lacks a feature that its never needed since its predecessor. Its only valid for people who seem to have never played GW1, and only WoW, and simply want to whine about the lack of a feature from that game which is not needed in this one.

Remapping the heal and utility skills to keys near WASD is an easy and ideal solution, as is having a macro mouse.

People who think at this point that the game is too easy havnt played it for more than 15 minutes, or simply havnt played it at all. Im hearing complaints from most people that its too hard and that they keep on dying, while I fill in feedback reports in game when I rate the difficulty and fun levels to 5 each in the harder content, also leaving a comment not to nerf the difficulty for WoW nubbies.

Sigh... do you want screenshots of previous GW1 characters or something? Has it really got to that absurd stage? To register a criticism about GW2 you have to 'prove' your credentials and anabaptise yourself as a person not of the church of WoW? Ludicrous. The Suggestion forums are awash with people demanding this feature. As has already been said, unbinding all of your normal menu keys just so that you can use your 10 skills is not an ideal solution - it's a compromise. I have a whole keyboard, capable of pressing more than one key simultaneously, and I'd like to be able to use it.

If its such a problem for you in GW2, then did you also complain about it in GW1?

Your complaints are invalid when you are raging on about a feature that was absent from the first game, yet you didnt have a problem with that, so why is it suddenly a problem now? Because you've suddenly noticed one simple thing that WoW has and GW2 lacks and want to whine about it for several pages long.

If you want the feature added as badly as you do, then the best thing to do is open a suggestion thread for it here:

Which the developers actually do read.

As I've repeatedly said... the official forums have lots of threads about it. Here's one where even a GW2 staff member asks for the same thing:

https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/game/suggestions/Modifier-Key-Key/page/1#post58805

How absurd is that? Yet somehow I am a "WoW fanboy" because I expect basic keybinding functionality. Anyway I think the fact even Anet staff members are chiming in with me makes your personal attacks baseless, and supports the idea that this is - however much it may wound you - something that the Beta needs to improve upon, as small a detail as it is.

I think it's more you mentioned it in a disastorous way every other post. I get it, now move on!

Not really you have people who have put a lot of time into GW1 and wanting to do the same against and someone who keeps stating what he dislikes multiple times. If you don't like something it mention it, instead of repeating it non stop, no others are doing the same.

It's getting tiresome from both sides though.
 
The only problems I have with the game are that the characers feel a little... floaty? and the combat can be a little clunky sometimes. But I think both of those can be sorted out easily enough. I do have other, smaller gripes about the game, but those 2 are my big ones.

The issues with the servers doesn't bother me, it's a beta, it's going to be ropey - Every game out there has problems in Beta - It's how they are dealt with that matter.

PS: I keep dying, and it sucks! :p
 
Changing the subject...

Has anyone messed around with the Shader details? I actually prefer it on Medium to High, funnily enough. I'm not sure if it's specific to my AMD/ATI card, but for some reason on High everything looks a little too... shiny. I find on Medium your character model has a much more solid-shaded look and it really compliments the nice pastel toned look of the world.

It's because High only seems to add bloom to the game. Bloom always looks retarded in any game as all of a sudden you have every other surface in the game emitting a heavenly glow whilst anything remotely bright of colour becomes blinding, for no other reason that than lolbloom. It's as stupid a graphical feature as depth of field, which is not only just simulating something your eyes do anyway but then overrides your poor old eyes should you actually want to look at something else without refocusing the ingame camera.

I was actually also thinking reflections off looked much better -- the faux reflection that 'none' gives has this rough, choppy feel to the water (approaching skyrims) that looks much better than the super crystal clear reflections of the world around you that the highest setting gives, doesn't look quite right.

GW2 is reinventing the conventional MMO forumula, it doesn't need no stinking 'key bind' :p
Click to expand...

In many MMOs for years upon years I have used 1,2,3,4,Q,R,T,F,G,C,V,2x Side Mouse, 1x Middle mouse. Then Shift+ that list.

GW2 straight away cuts that in half, I also can't assign middle mouse. So I'm left a couple of binds short for their 'condensed' skill set. Not great but I can't see them not fixing this so I'm not too worried -- If it's coming up to release and the last couple of betas still have this issue then I'll probably get all nerdy at them.

Who is expecting them to read it? Again, I am quite against the idea of a 'discussion' thread only being reserved for the gushing and arousal reserved for the game's admirers. I think that's silly. I've seen plenty of comments (mostly on other forums) with people saying things like "10/10, perfect game" or "what a masterpiece, wow!". It's a Beta test. The game has faults. There are certain things missing. Why does it harm to discuss them? Why is it wrong to be concerned that they're missing? Of course I have also done my fair share of constructive bug-reporting and suggestion-filing. I don't understand your logic where you expect the thread to just be a long list of encomiums for Anet and GW2. Let's not beat around the bush, here: they have aggressively pushed for pre-release sales with this Beta offer, promising many things and setting their marketing/PR machine into overdrive. Everyone has been swept up in the GW2 hypestorm (hello? 1 million pre-orders over a weekend? incredible) and I would just like at least some critical distance and objectivity when we play it. Let's not all be too malleable a putty in their hands, eh? We've already given them enough money in-advance of the game's release to buy the entire company a year-long holiday.

As for saying "go back to WoW" to anyone that registers a complaint... well that's just fatuous really, isn't it? I haven't played that game in 4-5 years. What does it have to do with any complaint about GW2, specifically? For someone that is so aggrieved by WoW-GW2 comparisons, you sure do bring the game up a lot unnecessarily. In the case of having basic keybindings (something that many people are literally screaming for on the official Suggestions forum, myself included), it has nothing especially to do with big 'ole Warcraft's legacy. You're being over-sensitive here, I can't help but think. I'm merely saying that it's funny you are prepared to fork out nearly £100 in new peripherals to fix a problem in the game's keybindings that really shouldn't exist in 2012.

+1

Unfortunately the whole "if you don't like it, go back to playing WoW, kids" is a pathetic attitude being displayed by at least one very vocal (and clueless) person on here.

For someone so desperate for the game to do well, insulting everyone being critical of it is very bizarre and strange. Especially when all of the criticism is fair.

Do people only want posts in here singing the praises of the game and nothing else? That's not going to happen.
 
dumb question for a noob but how do you create partys to go into the storyline quests or cant you do that?

Sorry but im a real noob, although i have managed to get to level 8 lol.
