https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/ ... r-15-2013/

In Blood and Madness, with Halloween fast approaching, Magister Tassi of the scholarly order Durmand Priory has detected some unusual energy readings that indicate another force is rising from the Underworld. This time, it’s Bloody Prince Edrick, son of Mad King Thorn, the insane tyrant who ruled Kryta centuries ago and now haunts Tyria as the powerful spirit of Halloween. Frightful new events and challenges await players as they confront the Bloody Prince and his growing, evil influence.

New Events
Mad Realm Doors:SPlayers can trick-or-treat at haunted doors across Kryta. Beware: Knocking isn’t without risk.

Lunatic Inquisition:SPlayers can put their PvP skills to the test in the Mad King’s Labyrinth. Play as a villager trying to survive the night or a lunatic courtier intent on destruction. Survival tools and hidden secrets are waiting to be discovered.

New Features
S Combat Quality of Life Fixes:SImprovements to combat include new ground targeting options, better targeting, and a new, optional way to display condition damage numbers.

29.10. već znate kako to ide.
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/ ... r-29-2013/

Tower of Nightmares isn’t just about menace and the macabre; this release also introduces new rewards like the Antitoxin Spray, a new universal healing skill that allows any player to cleanse themselves and nearby allies of poison, toxins, and other nasty effects. Players who prevail against the krait and complete the Tower of Nightmares meta achievement will earn a Krait Obelisk Shard, a powerful artifact that players can erect in their home instance.

Čujem da je previše ovog sadržaja šta štancaju samo privremena zafrkancija, i da kad 'prođe', ne može se više igrati? Taj living world dio il šta već. Meni to nema smisla, trošit lovu i vrijeme na razvoj sadržaja i onda ga 'bacit u smeće'. Baš su retardirani s tim, umjesto da maksimalno šire i obogaćuju igru oni sve podređuju tom 'living worldu', glupost.

Koliko je stalnog sadržaja igra dobila od izlaska do sad?

Budem kupio za Božić vjerojatno, ali jbte ne znam koju bi klasu igrao, mislim da ću morat imat od svih po jednog lika jer su sve super, ajde malo mi je necromance bezvz (boje spellova premonotone) ali ono, sve ostale se čine super.

Igra ko osim Arbyja?

[Maloki]

Arby ti uopće ne igra, samo se uživio u svoju ulogu newsbota.
Ja trenutno imam pauzu ali vjerujem da ću se uskoro ponovno aktivirat.
Btw Necromancer je super, condimancer build kida živote.

Što se sadržaja tiče ima dosta stalnog sadržaja, ali dosta toga bude samo prolazno. Ali i taj prolazni sadržaj ti je dizajniran na takav način da je jednostavan za napravit, a nema smisla da se zadrži (u potpunosti). Recimo Scarlet i njene invazije. U tih 2 tjedna (koliko je to trajalo) na random mapama bi ti počele te invazije. To ti je u principu značilo da bi se po cijeloj mapi u idućih 45 minuta spawnala cijela hrpa eventova koji bi se morali obavljati i onda, ovisno o uspješnosti servera u obavljanju tih eventova, bi dobili priliku borit se protiv Scarlet. Nakon kraja invazije bio bi neki cooldown od tipa 15 minuta i onda na iduću invaziju. Nakon ta 2 tjedna više nije bilo tih invazija tako često ali ih bude par na dan. Dakle to je primjer prolaznog, living world sadržaja, koji se u nekoj mjeri zadržao. I općenito se sad gradi nekakva priča na Scarlet i njene minione.
A imaš i hrpu stvari koje su napravljene da se vrte na godišnjoj bazi (Halloween, Dragon Bash) ili čak i češće (Super Adventure Box).

Uglanvom vidjet ćeš kad kupiš

[Arbiter of Change]

Imam igru na hardu, ali već mi se mjesecima svelo samo na updejtanje.

[mravojed20]

Dosadila ti?

Hmm, ma ja bi je najradije kupio da imam neku stalnu zanimaciju navečer dok ne nađem posao, a onda ću opet WoW počet isto. Igra mi se ovo radi atmosfere, glazbe, ne znam, lijepa mi je igra, 'topla' ko WoW, to mi je nešto što u biti najviše želim u MMO-ima, da kad uđem u krčmu da se osjećam ko da sam doma i da mogu zaspat tu. Onako žešći bijeg iz stvarnosti lol.

[Maloki]

Ako želiš imam ti ja account viška, buraz više ne igra. 150kn i nosi ga.
Inače ogromna prednost buy2playja je ta što nikad nemaš osjećaj obveze prema igri. Igraš kad ti se igra, kad ti dosadi ostaviš i nakon nekog vremena joj se ponovno vratiš. Nema onog da uplatiš pretplatu za idućih mjesec-tri-šest i nakon par dana ti dojadi i neda ti se više igrat, a opet osjećaš da moraš jer inače propali novci u potpunosti.
A i iskreno vjerujem da na tržištu nema boljeg MMO-a od Guild Warsa 2, pogotovo kad se napravi omjer uloženog i dobivenog.

[mravojed20]

Već sam dobio ponudu od Kostolomca tu s foruma, ali hvala, budem si kupio, volim imat ''svjež box'', pre opsesivan sam s tim

[Maloki]

Sve 5, ni ja ne volim kupovat rabljene accountove

[Arbiter of Change]

Dosadila ti?

Rekao bi da nemam vremena, ali to nije istina kad sam uspio natući 20 sata u novog Batmana. Jednostavno nemam volje već neko vrijeme. Ne znam, možda čekam dok najave ekspanziju ili tako nešto.

Kad smo kod novog sadržaja evo informacija o novom patchu - The Nightmares Within. Ovaj put sa upitnom glazbom.
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/ ... r-12-2013/

The dark tower in Kessex Hills has been breached! Now is the time to storm the tower and begin setting things to rights. Within the morbid stronghold of the Toxic Alliance, you’ll find new dangers, new challenges, and come face-to-face with terror incarnate.

New Events
S Lingering Poison:SThough the Tower of Nightmares has been breached, the Toxic Alliance’s nefarious presence remains. Players will find that Kessex Hills and the surrounding countryside still are befouled by poisonous pollen.
S Face The Nightmares Within:SSpecial encounters await players brave enough to enter rooms within the Tower of Nightmares. What will they find? Agents of the evil Scarlet Briar? Or something much more insidious? Only one thing is certain: strength, determination and resilience will be required to survive.
S The End of Nightmares?:SMarjory Delaqua, the human detective, developed a special antitoxin to destroy the deadly menace at the heart of the Tower of Nightmares, but the team she dispatched to inject it never returned. Players will get their chance to pick up the fight and succeed where those before them failed.

New Rewards
S Antitoxic Fashion:SPlayers completing the meta achievement for The Nightmares Within will unlock a special Gasmask Skin that features the latest design in air purification and toxin prevention. This universal skin can be applied to any piece of head armor.
S Exclusive Looks: Players can complete their wardrobes with a new Air Filtration Device – a dry-land version of the starter aquatic helm – or get the new Toxic Spore back item.
S Minis:SPlayers can earn two new Toxic Krait minis – one by destroying Toxic Alliance foes, the other by killing a special enemy hidden deep in the heart of the Tower of Nightmares.
S Tri-Key Chest:SPlayers collecting three keys – either from foes within the Tower of Nightmares or by bartering for them with Marjory Delaqua’s helper, Dee – can open the chest for a chance to win special treasures.

[mravojed20]

Koliko sam ja skužio prema poznatim informacijama, GW2 neće imati ekspanziju uopće, ili jedno jako dugo vrijeme bude bila bez nje, pošto se financiraju iz mikrotransakcija a za njih im je puno povoljnije da imaju stalan broj igrača koje drže izdavanjem novog contenta svakih 2 tjedna. Kod punokrvne ekspanzije bi se dogodilo da im populacija igrača drastično oscilira, mjesec dana oko ekspanzije bi bilo masa ljudi, onda opet značajno manje do sljedeće ekspanzije.

Mislim da im je to i pametan potez, mi ne plaćamo ništa osim osnovne igre, content ide, oni zarađuju bolje nego da prodaju ekspanziju.

[Maloki]

Ekspanzije neće bit dok ncsoft ne odluči da treba više novaca

[Outmind]

Ovako je najbolje. Igru sam nabavio u 8. mjesecu i relativno ju intenzivno igrao do početka 10. Da nije guilda, a pogotovo nečeg novog svaka 2 tjedna mislim da bih ju već onda obrisao sa diska. Istina, living world nije svaki put dobar - trenutni pre nightmare dio je recimo slabašan. Ali da je i svaki drugi dobar, novi content koji ti se sviđa dobiješ barem svakih mjesec dana, a ne pola godine - godinu.

Naravno i to ima nedostataka jer se ne mogu posvetiti velikim projektima, no ima neka čar u sudjelovanju stvaranja svijeta. Izvrstan je doživljaj biti dijelom launch eventa za nešto što će ostati i dalje u igri, kao invazije ili tequatl.

[Arbiter of Change]

Problem sa living world pričom je kako su je sastavili, tj. epizodni sadržaj ih spriječava od stvaranja nekakvih velikih događaja koji bi zahtijevali da si odigrao sve do sada da pohvataš priču ili tako nešto. Šteta što nema nikakve ekspanzije u planu, ali bolje ovako nego da dodaju sadržaj na kapaljku budući da jedino Blizzard može štancati sadržaj sličnom brzinom kad pogledaš više dvotjednih updejtova sa pojedinačnim većim WoW patchevima u višemjesečnim razmacima.

Još bolja stvar za igru je ta što je česti updejti stalno stavljaju u MMO vijesti tako da nikada nije zaboravljena.

[skitkid]

najveći je problem što nitko od vas ne igra WvW, jedini dio ove igre koji neš vrijedi.
iako, ne bi ni ja više igrao da ima neka alternativa lolz.

@maloki
ova ponuda accounta za 150kn još vrijedi?

[Maloki]

Ae

[skitkid]

dalo bi se neš sredit onda!

[Maloki]

Kul, javi se na fejsu onda da se dogovorimo.

[Arbiter of Change]

Idući update stiže 26.11. Dobar trailer čak.
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/ ... r-26-2013/

S Three Fractals:SIn addition to illuminating the strange circumstances of the Thaumanova Reactor meltdown, players can experience two more historical events thanks to further Fractals research. The Molten Furnace Fractal allows players to relive the daring raids on the Molten Alliance facilities, while the treacherous Aetherblade Fractal has players infiltrating the Aetherblade’s old base of villainy.

S Two Boss Fractals:SThe Jade Maw of the Solid Ocean Fractal is no longer the only challenge awaiting players when they make it to the end of each set of three fractals. Special boss encounters with the Aetherblade captain Mai Trin and the two Molten Alliance champions from the Molten Facility have been added to the rotation.

S Agony Resist Updates: Developers are evolving the way Agony Resistance works on items, so players will now be able to collect drops granting Agony Resistance and combine those to continually increase their level of Agony Resistance.

S Fractals of the Mists Leaderboards:SPlayers soon will be able to earn the envy and adulation of friends and strangers thanks to new leaderboards. Players whose current personal reward level for the Fractals of the Mists is above 30 will be reset to 30 so the competition can begin in earnest.

S Fractal Progression Changes:SThe difficulty curve in fractals levels 1-30 is being adjusted, and fractals beyond level 30 will have new, special challenges. Every fractal players enter with a fractal level above 30 will have a special Mistlock Instability which will add new difficulties to that level or change how it is played.

S Obsidian Sanctum Update:SPlayers will now be able to enter the Obsidian Sanctum, the Eternal Battlegrounds jumping puzzle, directly through the WvW menu. Additionally, a new arena space has been added for combat between opposing groups of players, and the Borderlands Bloodlust buff will no longer apply in the Obsidian Sanctum.

[Wolfwrath]

Recimo da ljudi nisu baš zadovoljni s novim armorima u gem storeu

[Arbiter of Change]

World XP izgleda postaje globalan.
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/world-xp-and-you/

I’m here to announce a major change to the system: We’re making World XP account-bound.

With all of this in mind, the system is receiving the following changes:
All earned World XP on an account will be put into a single pool.
The sum of those points will determine the world rank and World Ability Points available to each character on the account.
World Ability Points can be allocated differently on each character; you are not creating a single, account-based, version of your characters.

[Frost Commander]

Jako dobro.

[skitkid]

je.

[Nodakim]

Fractalsi su mi dok sam jos igrao GW2 bili najphun dio iz jedinice i dvojke. SpeedClearovi UnderWorlda iz jedinice bi bio close second.

[Frost Commander]

Fractalsi jesu prilično zabavni.

[Arbiter of Change]

Prvi update nakon blagdana je live, prvi od zadnja četiri koji će završiti priču nepopularne Scarlet Briar.
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-ga...nuary-21-2014/

On one front, players must journey to the mountains of Lornar’s Pass where Scarlet is massing her armies to defeat the Twisted Marionette, Scarlet’s titanic new clockwork creation. It will require a coordinated assault by an army of players to challenge both the Marionette and Scarlet’s combined forces.

The other threat lies in Bloodtide Coast, where Scarlet has awoken something ancient and dangerous. The Great Jungle Wurm is a huge beast with three ravenous heads and an arsenal of attacks at its disposal. Only a determined effort by a large group of players has a chance at defeating this menace.

[Arbiter of Change]

Isto tako su digli i video koji sažima Living Story priče do sada.

[Arbiter of Change]

Prvi update za veljaču je live.
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-ga...ruary-04-2014/

The introduction of the “Edge of the Mists” is also giving players a new way to experience the game’s popular WvW mode. In WvW, armies of players engage in PvP on an epic scale, competing to seize territory, lay siege to castles, raid enemy supplies, and spread mayhem on four vast maps in the Mists. Now, players will never again have to wait to participate in WvW. “Edge of the Mists” acts as an overflow map that gives them the option to continue playing in a PvP and PvE environment, with different zones that compose the map’s network of floating islands inhabited by creatures such as the kodan, ogres, and grawl. Players continue to build rank and gain loot and achievements while still in queue to join regular WvW matches. There’s also a new UI system in place that provides complete visibility on which maps are populated and anticipated queue times.
