I like this debate a lot tbh xD

Lets compare, you have FA, AB, MQSC, Urgoz, Deep, Challenges still active to play and alive at certain days. You can max this titles very fast, and already 90% of the people have them. And on the other hand you have titles like Codex which takes +6 years to get, and theres literally 0 real games. Something is not working here. I dont see why all the titles should be updated with no reason behind it. GvG its imposible to farm the title, unless you have 15 acc and manipulates the game hard and even if you do so youll need x50 times of kurz/lux. RA could take you years and years, how many ra r12 have you seen? 1, 2? and how many of those didnt got ban by a miracle because they farmed pts at dead hours with alts. HA would be the only other title that could be suggested to update, and its not even comparable the amount of ppl that has r12 kurz/lux to r15 ha.

On the other hand you could see the positive effects of having more amount of games and more competitive/fun games. Aswell as not forcing ppl that dont wanna grind the title for Koabd or hall of monuments.

And i mean, i understand your point of you can do your personal records. But seriously whos gonna do that? for something you cannot show to anyone. You could have 10M points or 500M points that no1 is gonna see the difference. I "was thinking on working on my personal kurz record of 20M", im at 19M atm, but i never work on this, i just play casually if the games tends to not be fun, which happens sometimes, i just stop, because there isnt much difference in winning, losing. Barely no1 is working anymore on the titles but just playing a few games for fun and they will soon switch to another game because theres no long term goal.

I guess you could just have a r12 to be max as it is now, I just dont see it, if they would increase the ranks, they would have to increase all other ranks as well.

Theres a big difference between Kurz/Lux title and the rest of the pvp/account titles. It could take you 2 months to max this titles even if you start fresh, while the other titles could take you years of grinding and much more tedious that these ones (you can even max them by playing casually). And and i dont even care about what does count as max or not, okay people wanna have their r12 already as max, sure. But have something as a more long term goal to have an objective and more fun games.

If you tell me the game is still alive in 2035 and there is no new content, but people wanna keep playing and having goals... I wouldnt see whats the problem in updating the account titles that have become really easy to get or that most of the people have them. Even if they dont count as max, but just as an extra thing to do.

Easy, make r12 kurz/lux count as max title when you get it towards kind of a big deal and Hall Of Monuments. But make r15 posible as an extra for a lot of people that likes to keep playing AB/FA/JQ/MQSC/Deep/Urgoz... that they are quite a lot. There would be even more fun games since people will be more motivated towards it. I dont see how it could harm the game, but make it more fun. Making 10Millions was hard in 2007, making 10M nowadays... its really easy (and if you have been playing 10 years i doubt you dont have it), not even comparable to getting any of the other max pvp ranks.

Global Looking For Group, wasnt that necessary back then when there was 5 district in temple of ages, 2 districts in XXX etc... nowadays that there are not that amount of population, but people still wanting to play would fit much more. You cant just go into one city and wait 3 hours to play something.

GW Vanilla, eeemmm... World of Warcraft have had 15 years of active game development, so there is much more things and some differences between the game we have today and Classic WoW. GW Pretty much stoped development in 2007. The game is already vanilla and could be promoted as its already with some updates.

Shop collector edition codes. The game is 15 years old... do you prefer having people buying these stuff on Amazon, or giving that money to Arenanet via Shop? idk...

PD: And the new pvp mode i suggested is already done. (with unique maps and mechanics that you cant find in any other mode)

My 2 cents of what i think the game needs in order to keep and atract population:

- AB/FA/JQ/MQSC etc.. people likes to play this modes a lot. But at this moment in the game life, there is a lack of motivation to do so. Most of the people have their titles maxed and they are so so easy to get nowadays. Why not upgrading them to rank 15? and give people a long term motivation to keep playing aswell as having fun. Also this rank 15 could include an emote or an exclusive armor you can only buy once your r15.

- PvE. 1) They could add new weapons/armors in dungeons or other places for people to enjoy hunting them, and trading. But please not some "low skin" that needs no effort to get, like Balthazar weapons. Its just pointless... 2) also a few new titles would be great, but maybe this needs a new campaign.

- PvP. I could write a book about this one, but ill try to keep it short.

I already said there is a game mode, with beautiful EotN maps and unique mechanics of altars, surviving/killing. That would even create its own meta builds. Why not putting this mode as permanent (without the costumes and any build posible to play). That wouldnt require much game coding at all. The title could be the one that is already (Gamer) or a new one. 2) And also restricting all PvP outpost to less districts. This would make it easier to find people, and also for new players and returnees. 3) Also limiting restrictions to be able to play Ladder in GvG, its just imposible to play a "competitive match" because you need to have 10 different guilds playing everday or your not gonna face ever with another guild.

- General/QoL. 1) If posible create a global Looking for Group, maybe upgrading the one that is already there (P). To be able to see if there is any party forming for an Speed Clear, Cooperative, PvP or just some leveling (in any city)... You cant expect to have hundreds of people in every city to be able to play something... Not having something like this just kills the game everyday. PD: Embark its far away from working, and would need a lot of rework.

- Website. Adding some rankings would be nice, specially since there is no new titles. Who has more points in these titles? something for people to "fight" for.

- Shop. Adding bundles of every Collector/Preorder items in the shop, that would increase their incomes a lot with few effort ( another thing that is already done..). How many people are looking to buy these in Amazon/Ebay?

I have read the letter fast, but, is there any change or adding to pve/pvp/quality of life updates in the letter?

Because thats the only thing this game needs. Why would we want a community manager if theres no updates to the game? I suggested adding the mode "Costume Brawl" that has unique pvp maps (very nice ones) and unique mechanics as a permanent pvp mode, obviusly they can remove the costume thing and let any build posible to play since its not halloween, That wouldnt require much coding for them, and would give us something new to play.

Any ideas on how long this event will last?

From April 22 till 6th of May.

Bring the positive energy @everyone!

Quote from Ectoplasmus

It will feel extremely cheap if the elites can only be used during the event.

Thanks Anet! You made GW new for only 1 week every year rather than an actual feeling of new content.

Ive read you can get the skills even if you miss the event. So i guess theyll still be usable?

Naked celebreation at GtoB ad1!

Please i hope the Monk elite its a good Smiting elite!

The Guild Wars Anniversary Celebration Begins Tomorrow!

Log in to the original Guild Wars starting April 22 and enjoy the anniversary celebration at Embark Beach.

The Ancient Anniversary Weaponsmith’s inventory has been reinforced with the Anniversary set, containing weapons with familiar looks but previously unavailable attribute requirements.

Additionally, at the Ancient Anniversary Weaponsmith, heroes can acquire a Proof of Triumph. Carrying this relic will cause an extra enemy group and boss to appear in four late-game maps—fight your way to them, and be sure to bring a Signet of Capture along to acquire a new PvE-only elite skill for each profession! If you miss this year’s celebration, don’t worry—the Proof of Triumph will continue to work when the festival ends so you can adventure with a friend to seek out the new skills.

Quote from Alchimist

Aha i am one of them, i used pcons everytime i do pve, quest, mission, solo farm, sc.

Reason : -> it save time, even 10sec/run ill take it. <-- Reason : Im not a teenager anymore, i dont have xx hours to spend on this game as i had in the path. [...]

This post is gold. Have to agree with most of it.

The thing i find annoying is this; I am a person that has earned a lot of money (mainly from pvp), i also spend a lot of money in my characters, all have to be said. But still i don't see myself spaming consets like chewing gums, i mean i couldn't stop playing pvp and start doing Soocsc, Uwsc, Boogsc etc.. in the evenings and find a way to sustain the waste of money in pcons and consets and at the same time keep getting stuff for my chars. So i find that pretty much gamebreaking.

So at the end what's the point? Having a bot that farms all those consumables to play comfortable or just avoid doing scs and trying to get some good drops? and just keep playing pvp and buying the stuff you want with that money? even if you kinda like scs. The only protifable sc i've seen so far is doasc, and still there aren't groups farming all day, some are slow, and its repetitive af.

PD: can't even imagine what a casual player would think about investing money in consumables Kappa xD

Unholy ill wisp u when i see you ingame

When the game was alive and there was 98% more population than now, pcons etc were more expensive than now. And people didnt spam it 24/7, also getting money was harder. Idk if someone remember when you did an SC, every1 used to put 1,5k plat in the floor for the guy using conset. Nowadays nop.

No1 talking about the people that spam consets 24/7 like if they were chewing gums, and they are doing SCs that doesnt give money at all 99,9% of the time, so they are just wasting money. And how they obtain the money to buy those consets etc? Runing bots, its sad, but thats what 80% of the Sc community do.

PD: Maybe Consets should be cheaper, but people have to know the same pcons they use to do highend stuff people can use it also to level up a charr or do a cooperative in NM, and make the game looks much easier that what it is already (with 7 heroes op builded etc).

So maybe they should make consets & pcons only spameable in Dungeons and Elite Missions. Put a Pcons npc, and make it cheaper to buy consets.
