    Guild Wars 2 Tried to start, but having to buy a big chunk of the story separately after already dropping money on the game is ridiculous.

    This bums me out because I've been having a great time leveling up in this game. Finally approaching 80 and I'm told about the living story and how I have to buy all of it, even though I already own the game. I don't understand the thinking behind this and can't justify buying the game twice.

    I don't think it would be so frustrating if there was a heads up to all of this. The store page seems to imply that you're getting everything with your purchase, only to surprise you once you've invested some time.

    Overall it's just not a great new player/customer experience to feel like you're being tricked and scammed. It's a bummer too because this is such a solid game otherwise.

    Bobby Stein on the future of raids. (A reddit comment by him)

    Posted: 09 Jul 2020 01:39 PM PDT

    To clarify: The original raid team members did move into new positions on various teams (management, lead, LW, or expac). Some are still at the studio but a few have moved on to other opportunities. This is pretty normal industry stuff.

    GW2 has a vibrant community and we're always looking at ways to keep the game engaging for people. Raids, like Living World, fractals, etc. are constantly being evaluated. Right now we're focused on finishing the Icebrood Saga and the expansion (among other things) but please continue sharing your ideas and letting us know the kinds of things you want in the game. I can't guarantee a particular outcome but it's important that we know your thoughts as they help us weigh decisions. Thanks.

    I'm giving this comment it's own post as this is the first time since February a dev has even used the word "raid" and many of us are propably asking what is going to happen to their favorite game mode. The answer is nothing.

    ArenaNet's reason for abandoning raids is the lack of playerbase. Had they added difficulty settings they could have attracted players of every skill level. Those who want to see the story or just the fight, those who want a nice encounter and those who want a challange. Also why are cm rewards a once in a life time thing? The encounters themselves are only doable once a week unless someone opens the wing for you. Difficulty settings, progressing in them and repeatability are already in the game, in Fractals. Why not apply it to raids as well? Also promoting raids might have helped a bit. When was the last time they tweeted about raids? Do people outside of gw2 know that the game has raids?

    Either way. Raids for me were the best part of the game. Great maps, voice acting, boss designs, story, unique combat experiences, many fun builds to play. Sad to see it go.

    A few questions about the Revenant

    Posted: 10 Jul 2020 05:24 AM PDT

    Greetings,

    i'm returning to gw2 after a longer break. I mained necromancer for years barely touch any other class. Somehow i can't relate to my necro anymore so i playing around with the other classes on my roster.

    Somehow the Rev got me caught. I like the flowing playstyle of switching legends. Especally the feeling of Mallyx, reminds me of my WoW DK or EQ2 Shadowknight.

    I read a lot about that rev is pretty buggy and feels not finsihed. Also it seems to me i dont see a lot of revs on meta event squads or in the open world. So what's the deal with them? Are they this bad? Suffer they from the late introduction in HoT? Are they stigmatized as bad like necro till a year ago?

    How's rev doing on solo stuff like Story, soloing Champs, farming metas?

    Are there any revmains out there? I'm in 3 Guilds and none of them has a revmain only buffrevs for fraks or raids as second class. Will i caught in the alcrigade jail like the mesmer in his old chronojail? Are power and/or condi dps revs accepted in low to midtier fraktals?

    ty for answering my questions.

    Game Update Notes: July 9, 2020

    What do you, GW2 players, think of New World?

    Posted: 10 Jul 2020 06:42 AM PDT

    What do you think of this new competitor of gw2? Do you think it can capture a lot of users, especially wvw, from gw2?

    I did a survey in their reddit section, and it seems that many of the players are players from gw2

    https://www.reddit.com/r/New_World_MMO/comments/homrgj/what_mmorpg_do_you_come_from/

    What do you think Anet can do, to prevent a possible transfer of players towards this new game? Unfortunately in the road map of gw2 I don't see any news on the wvw side.

    Baby auruene mini pet giveaway raffle

    Posted: 09 Jul 2020 01:04 PM PDT

    Hey all! So I dont play gw2, but did play the first and ended up buying a funko pop of a baby aurene (cause it's pretty cool not gonna lie). Inside the box was a code for a mini pet.

    Since I wont be using this, why not give it away to someone who will?

    I'll be doing a random top level comment pull to figure a winner of the raffle that I will pull a winner for tomorrow (July 9, 2020) between 4p-5p central time. If the randomly chosen winner doesnt respond within 24 hours, I'll pull a second person (and so on) All you need to do is submit a comment to be entered and good luck to all!

    Why play elementalist, if every other class does the same job easier?

    Posted: 09 Jul 2020 03:46 PM PDT

    They are squishy, hard to master and have been nerfed alot.

    Isn't dragonhunter the same as weaver but with better defense?

    The dreaded "Black Screen Crash"

    Posted: 10 Jul 2020 04:34 AM PDT

    Okay, I really need help. I've been playing this game off an on for over a year now and have put up with the infuriating and random crash that drives me up the wall more and more over time. I learnt to just deal with it but as I recently go back into the game and are heavily playing I just can't take it anymore. If you are not aware of this issue its a sort of crash that happens out of nowhere very frequently where the screen goes black, the music still plays, the mouse still moves and the menu buttons still work. It gets particularly annoying when playing story mode as I have to start over each time and pray it lets me complete all tasks in between crashes. I've seen a lot of people have had the same issue for many years but there is no exact cause or fix. And before you ask, yes, I contacted the support team but they only suggested to disable any 3rd party add-ons of which I have none and never had. They said if it didn't work to send a file but they have yet to respond. I've tried a couple of things but nothing too complicated as a lot of the stuff I saw suggested I'm not really sure how to actually do. Please help, I've put up with it for so long because I really care about this game and I really don't want to stop due to this. I'm not super techy so if you have a suggestion you'll have to really spell it out for me.

    Engineer explosives needs a hotfix

    Posted: 09 Jul 2020 10:17 PM PDT

    Engineer explosives traitline needs a hotfix to reduce the numbers in competitive game modes as it is still using PvE numbers ever since the big patch. Ignoring engineer for so long in the competitive game modes has been a massive mistake. Explosive Entrance dealing 2-5k damage every dodge is not in any way fine not to mention the constant blind spam from Flashbang which needs atleast 10s ICD on it

    A class that keeps on giving; the wizard

    Posted: 09 Jul 2020 08:59 AM PDT

    Gotta be honest, I started off with a thief and loved it forever. S/D power mains unite.

    Then I moved to D/D Core Ele and it was love. Now that we have weaver it changes the way we play Ele, whether it's SW/D, D/D. Just so much to learn and get used to. Adds a FRESH AIR type feel. I spend quite a bit of time learning the new play style, feels nice yo!

    How do other people feel about other classes?

    QoL Request

    Posted: 09 Jul 2020 06:53 PM PDT

    For the LS trinkets, except for Bloodstone ones (Because they reset with a purchasable item), it would be very nice if ANet could make it so when you select a stat grouping the name of the item would change to "Stat Group + Trinket Name".

    I REALLY hate digging through and scrolling over each and every ascended trinket that ends up in my bank after builds change to see what I have and what I dont... it would be way easier if "Black Ice Earing" became "Marauders Black Ice Earing".

    Should I get the expansions?

    Posted: 10 Jul 2020 02:47 AM PDT

    Hello, new player here.

    Been trying out the game in my endless search for a decent mmorpg that's not overly p2w or requires me to have a monthly fee and feel forced to get my money worth.

    I've seen the expansions are now up in a bundle at 30€ for both. Do you happen to know for how long this offer is staying? Can I play a bunch more to get a better idea (currently lvl. 25 on my Necro) or should I get my hands on them asap?

    Thank you very much.

    Suggestion for readjustment of annual festival achievements

    Posted: 10 Jul 2020 05:51 AM PDT

    Hi, First of all sorry for possible mistakes, because english is not my mother tongue .

    I wanted to write about something that seems to me to be quite poorly adjusted in the achievement system. I currently have 35'1 k of achievements + (3000 unearned daily), 38 k. And my "peak" of achievements without counting festivals would be 40'8. Eu's top 1 right now is at 42.9k. Those 2000 achievements that differentiate us if i do the rest of my possible achievements , would be those of the festivals. The annual achievements for festivals seem good to me, but I find it absurd that they are capped at 1000 (20 years), since those who have been the most today will take 350-400 / 1000, therefore they would lack 12-13 years to arrive to the limit, and to new players 20 years. I don't think the game will be active for that long ... and I find it rather unfair for people who are dedicated to achieving achievements, since with festivals you can get 300 easy achievements a year and there are achievements that cost 1 point or 5 that you can spend hours and hours to get them, so in the end the achievement leaderboard makes no sense because the people who are higher are the ones who have played festivals the longest. My suggestion is to cap the annual achievements to 500 (or even 400), in order to balance the achievement leaderboard a little more and this is a true testament to the effort and dedication of the achievement hunters :) .
    I would like to send this message to the developers, so the positive feedback and comments would be very helpful, thanks ^^

    Playing warrior in 2020

    Posted: 10 Jul 2020 04:25 AM PDT

    Hey, I'm getting back into the game after a few years and I was wondering if warrior and its elite specs were in a good place right now.

    I'm mostly a PvE player and I want to play power dps in fractals and maybe raids someday. Is it a good pick ?

    I need help knowing what I'm doing wrong with my graphics card.

    Posted: 10 Jul 2020 12:53 AM PDT

    I have an NVidia GForce Graphics card. They have you download this thing called the GForce experience. I wasn't running the "optimal" settings" for my graphics card, so I hit the "optimize" button. Now I'm getting 20 FPS in game. What am I doing wrong here. I have a 1660. Is that not good enough to run GW2?
