since i got warned about posting to this topic . . so delete this post please mod.

to have devs talk to us here first on the official forums will be most welcomed by all !! just hope it does not go back to the old way ever again . lack of speaking = part of reason for some to have left the game and never come back ;/

put it like this mag is more pve and does not give a penny about commanders or mentors they are just a joke anet put into the game. all these new guilds that been trying to come to mag has been noting but major unneeded problems . with all their ideas of things like you need to taxi people in for a good teq map . or how to get to other world events by spamming map chat. which good thing anet has a blocked list for all these types. hope fully they all will be leaving mag server for good soon . and let us pve people do our thing with out being bothered by them :# :# :#

oh cool a new way to hack discord . wonder how long that take for them to crack it and hack it giving all the videos and so forth on how to do it .

this is why i dumped all chat apps from skype to yahoo to team speak and so forth . :# :#

> No, it's not a win-win for all, and there's a good reason that people should get infractions and(very, very rarely) banned, it's because they never learn. Most people that get infractions will learn from their mistakes, those that don't will continue to get infractions up to the point that they're banned from the forums either temporarily or permanently. If you have a block function this will never happen.

the very reasons you just made make it more clear why their should be a block function on this forum for all users to use. !! thus putting a end to infractions and bans :# :#

> would this issue be game specific? when i play gw1 on same computer it looks/runs fine

YES this is the only game i ever found my self that has these many problems but all other games run just fine as they should from wow to eso to pubG.

but when you play guild wars 2 noting but problems and lag . it is called bad coding the game runs on .

the way i see it anet devs should post here only . making this really the official forums and not called the so called forums . if the devs wish to post on reddit honestly they should do it on their own time. and put more energy into this forums . other wise this is just what it is called the so called forums .

honestly for me their is noting at all listed on the poll i can vote for as well as anet needs to get out of the stone ages first . and fix the game as well as anet wants to see another penny from me they need to have the new pack in current game code standards with the most latest newest hardware and software support . :# :#

thanks for more forums junk messing up all forums even more :# :#

> I'd like the ability to turn this stuff off for my own character, I'd also like the option to turn it off for other characters without having to resort to "basic" models. Visual clutter during meta events is getting bothersome.

i fully agree with you on this even when i do events for gold and mats like teq and have every thing turned off and set to low. the lag i been getting as of late. seams to get worse with these things in the game . and we all know anet will never fix them but we all sure wish they would fix them .

no thank you something that is not need at all !! much rather see devs put their time to good use and fixing bugs that been in the game since 2012 . as well as new bug,s that still need to be fixed :#

you really should and NEED to read the TECH SUPPORT part of this forums . in doing so you will find why this game will never be fully run on VR. or can even handle it . unless you just happen to be in a lucky 5 second break between bugs . and that video was done about 2 years ago . so it is really out of date.

i love open world content in this game for pve. to a point . what makes it bad for me unlike guild wars is all these whole map meta events . so called mentors and commanders running all over the place. toss in group boss events that can mess up ones pve flow runs. topped off with spam chat of people need to be here people need to do this . yada yada yada . then add to that all the other meta events on pve maps . sigh times it is really more of a kitten pain in the potatoes . than it is worth the way i found to fix this at times is having to turn off all chats. from time to time.

other things i noticed in pve players who think you need help or escorts getting in the way which makes the kitten potatoes go booms. and if your doing map completions and come across a meta even and so forth that is right where you need to do map completion . well your forced to leave the map or try to do it. or try to change maps 2 or 4 times to get done what you need to get done.

but despite them problems pve is ok but can be made far more better . but knowing anet will never do it. so just keep finding work around done helps a lot of the current problems . in pve .

flavor of the meta month or second again huh ,. least they come up with better names. even tho all meta is boring and should be removed from the game altogether :# :#

the game was better when you left. now pvp wvw pretty much doa . no balance or patch's for them . they put a new 100 fract but a lot of people have left the game as well too and never have come back . raids hardly any one does them at all as raids are not worth doing at all with all the elitism and so super pro player groups not letting you join them if you not the right class or so called build . about the only game mode despite its problems is pve. the rest of the game modes your more better off playing league of league of legends or something close to it

no one is using VR at ALL for this game . just lucky if the game can be ran on a Ryzen 7 1800X CPU with a nVidia GTX 1080 GPU, using 16GB DDR4 3600 mhz RAM. or even a I-7 intel cpu with out crashing or having lots of bugs that never been fixed at all since the game has been out in 2012 :# :# :#

it be nice to have this even for out in towns and other parts of the game. their are times i find i like not to think or look at this event at all. due to the part of the country i currently in . :/

many many times anet has come out on reddit and said this will never ever happen . but yet as well as some other things i noticed as of late. for what ever reason it be they never ever get the message .or they do not want to hear it and hope if they keep it up anet will cave in one day maybe. :# :# so far for both sides that has not worked out well at all. :# :#

> * Likewise, don't expect things like glider skins, outfits and mount skins to be made available in-game for the majority of players. I'm sure ArenaNet would love to, but they can't afford to not monetize those things.

> * ArenaNet will not add a new race, because this requires redoing a lot of the old content that they are not going to address again. Voice acting for the old content by itself would severely push their limited resources.

> * ArenaNet will not do big changes to core game mechanics (like removing stats from items and turning them into attribute points for players to assign). They can't afford big changes like this when they have to dedicate everything to new content and to the Gem Store.

>

> In many ways, ArenaNet feels like half a developer making half a game. It's fun to speculate and discuss things like this topic, but in reality Guild Wars 2 is not going to have things like this; they can't afford it. ArenaNet needs goodwill of their players, low expectations and people willing to accept subpar support for everything other than the newest release because, well, that's the best they can do.

the real truth be told it is more like this half a quarter developer making half quarter a game. the game could be so much more but. we both know that will never ever happen in this case. no matter how they want to put it . :# :#

I too wish they would revamp the list entirely. and remove the stalkers list ie followers . and make it more easy to fully block people :# :#

solo pve content only so i do not have to be bothered with people at all . . no world events no meta events pvp or wvw or raids or fracts them bore me so badly they should be removed from the game as a whole . :# :# :#

I love the current concept where I can decide to organize an event just by putting up an entry on LFG and gather people for it. Some of them will still fail if you don't organize players. And that is how the majority of people in the game play.

> 50 man raids is basically what I'm going for. That's something you need to coordinate and be skilled for. Currently our community is really falling apart due to the fact that anyone can just set up a squad and win basically any event. Our community was built around completing difficult content as a team and it is really sad to see it slowly die when people would rather not even commit to joining us on TeamSpeak and set up their own squad.

no thank you thank you no!!! to any of this at all pve does not need or want 50 person raids at all !!! not only that but pve is not meant to be ( team ) pve is best done solo with no help from no one at all. only time you need that many people is for world events to win at the very best . which them should been put with wvw or pvp or guild halls at best . :# :#

Alliance Battles had to do with guilds only in guild wars and not the rest of that game tho . so in my opinion them 2 are not the same things at all. :#

> So, every time we've received a QoL feature that wasn't announced previously by the Devs (oh, say Key Ring, Consume All, etc., for example) means the game has died off and gone into game history? Odd, feels very much alive to me.

the suggestions you make are not by any means software or hard ware support related at all. also does not by any means add anything at all to the game. cases in point multi core cpu support Vegas 56 980 1080 ti video cards or 4K support ., is what i am talking about.
