Guild Wars 2

My question is that will there be more info about legendary weapons? Also are legendary weapons going account bound?

Can we please get some for information or hints on the final rest? Please

Is there anything being done in terms of endgame content PvE wise, it seems like it would be difficult to do without the Heal, Tank, DPS trilogy so if there is more endgame PvE content what kinds of things could we expect to see?

So… Will ascended pieces be craftable? Or is crafting just going to get left behind? Also, are home instances going to get overhauled or something into something more… personal, like player housing and stuff?

Greetings Anet.

I’d like to make a simple question that’s probably on a few other people’s minds.

Will you eventually expand the incoming crown achievement token system to certain lifetime achievements? Like will I be able to earn some crowns for doing jumping puzzles outside of dailies/monthies?

^ Personally I think the system would be better if it allowed you to get crowns for just about everything returning the feeling you got while leveling that “everything you do is pushing you forward”.

Can we get to know if Ranger’s pets will be overhauled?
I would love to see a more in depth talent/skill trees for pets, and smarter AI.

EDIT: Can we please have PTR (Public Test Realms) servers yet?!
With all this big talk about nerfs, and such they need to be implemented so you guys don’t nerf more classes into the ground like you have already.

PTR are a most if you want this game to be great, and thriving.

gamemodes, when will we see that, note when. Btw TDM is a must.

adding more abilitys per weapon maybe like 3 more and make the weapon abilitys more unique. Also give professions abilitys to counter eachother so you have to think more.

What do you think about adding weekly/monthly jumping puzzles with leaderbords and giving the best players some nice loot (top 1000 maybe). Also everyone that comes to the end get a chest. It can be centered around teamwork aswell.

Im not comfortable with the camera still, the fov increase was a must, but still i need more vertical view.

Dyes need to be account bound, this rly makes me not want to make an alt.

Improving preview so you actually can see your weapon, now they are hiding under some stupid clothes.

Duelling. Make an arena inside the mists with an environment where people can queue up and spectate. Possible?

Why can’t necromancers stomp opponents or res allies while in death shroud?

Every other class is able to use their class mechanics and abilities for these situations. If a necromancer wants to have his life force lowered putting himself at a disadvantage by leaving his health bar vulnerable (risk vs reward) to stomp an opponent or res an ally they should be able to do so.

Every class having safeguard abilities to stomp and res, such as stability or stealth, except the necromancer is imbalanced.

What I want to know is if you guys plan on adding new weapons/ skills and also if you plan on adding new maps to WvWvW because doing the same wvwvw every week against the same people is quite boring

How will you fix these wvw zerges where you cant even see the enemies? When will we see like more then 5 man dungeons. Last thing any news about new ways to farm lodestones?

Why are Engineers penalized for their versatility, while Elementalists, which you called the “kings of versatility”, not penalized?

EDIT: Relevant quotes

Engineer

The Engineer is a highly versatile class. While it doesn’t have the long range capabilities of the Ranger, or the melee capabilities of the Warrior or Guardian, they are comfortable at medium ranges in most fights. They have a lot of control, and use their boons to keep themselves (and allies) alive in a fight. They can use different kits based on the situation, but this extreme versatility comes at a cost in damage on their main hand weapons.

Elementalist

We see the Elementalist as the king of versatility. The skill ceiling for the Ele is exceptional, as the ability to leverage all four attunements at the right time is crucial for understanding the elemetnalist. The Ele boasts some of the best team support and control abilities in the game, as well as some great area of effect damage.

Hey Arenanet! Just one quick question.

Are there any plans to further integrate spvp and pve? I would really like to join in spvp, but I feel there is no progression for my pve character, except for the odd dye or container. It is difficult to motivate guild members to join in spvp because they have similar feelings. I think giving pve rewards in spvp would be a great way to motivate newer players or players who would normally never try spvp to give spvp a go.

Ranger updates, any being worked on?

1-Will legendaries like Meteorologicus and Minstrel receive aura/footstep/animation updates?

2-What are your plans for current lodestones like Charged Lodestones?

3- Any goodies for the ranger, necro, scepter ele and scepter mesmer?

What will be happening to legendary weapons? Will they go account bound?

What are you going to do with the precursor? The prices are insane at the moment and they keep going up.

Will the high resolution screenshot option come back at some point? And why did it get removed after the first beta weekend?

Are there any plans to up the cost for the Commander status, such as more gold or badges of honor?

What happened to “NO GRIND PROMISE” ?

and what is your plan for end game?`

and where is the GUILD WARS? u killed the soul of GW with GW2

Are you working on patching the bug that prevents the legendary treasures being awarded with Twilight/Sunrise? Also will footprint effects and the option to swap at will be coming to eternity?

Conditions. What do you think of the current state of Conditons and Condtions builds. There is an obviouse lack diffrent conditions to macke more then 1 on condtions dmg dealer in a group viable.

We’ve seen a lot of new weapon skins added to the game since launch (Which is awesome!) But the only new Armor skin we’ve received was a rebreather.

When are we likely to see some new armor Skins?

QUICK QUESTION: Are there any plans to make more PVE titles? There really aren’t many.

how often will the Pet Minis be added?

Will there be new achievements added soon?

will there be a new location opened up soon

Will more classes be added into Guild Wars 2? A lot of people miss some of the GW1 favourites like Dervish and Ritualist.

Will we be getting more weapon and armor skins added to the game? Or will that only be added with an expansion?

Also, what are your guys’ outlook on the current class layout right now. Is there a clear overpowered class? What about the classes with broken traits? What are you guys going to do to fix balance and tone down the classes that are clearly OP in a certain aspect of the game?

When will the next guild update be? I have a lot of members asking about when guild halls come in, what they can do there. The leaders are asking if you are going to implement a last online, or last represented time, so we can keep track of members. Or if there is a place we can contact for reference on guild support?

Will there be any Event this Month or just a normal Update where you add a few things for the next 2 months?

Are there any improvements in the pipeline for GW2’s social systems (e.g. chat, guild interface)? Not being able to chat with your guilds besides the one you’re representing is currently a huge black mark on the game.

Could Jonathan explain why they buffed the Mesmer trait ‘’Shattered strength’’ when it obviously pushed one of the strongest builds in the game to an even more broken level?

The reason why I ask this is because the PVP community worries about you guys not putting any priority at all on them, shattered strength is clearly weak in PVE while it’s part of the ONLY mesmer build in pvp. Did you really consider PVP at all when changing this?

Something that would explain why you’d make this buff in any other form than ‘’we have no clue about shatter mesmers existing in pvp, which they have since release and are still a must have for every team’’ would really ease some of mine and many other players concern.

2. Do you guys still have plans to make Guild Wars 2 an esport? Many players, myself included, have sacraficed a lot because of your promises to make this game an esport. Needless to say, we’ve been treated AWFULLY, and the sate of pvp as it is at the moment is quite disgusting, considering the amount of serious teams there were out there at the start of this game (now there is literally ONE team my team can compete with).

3. Did you guys watch the latest state of the game podcast? Will Jonathan participate in future ones?

4. Did you guys plan for pvp to be as it is at the moment? As in, are you still ‘’testing around’’ pvp and waiting for truly pushing it out there or are you satisfied with the pace/state as it is? For example, the most popular pvp streams for gw2 are 50 viewers, you can only play paid tournaments after 19:30, etc.

I’m sorry if my post seems to have a really negative tone, I just feel like I should desperately try to get some answers about the future in the game I’ve dedicated an insane amount of hours in for one reason and one reason only: the esport promise, which you guys mentioned in just about every single interview about pvp/the game in general before the game was released but I havent heard of at all since the pvp blog post several months ago. I’m worried.

When will we get more armor skins? Also more things in the cash shop. I would buy a new armor skin every week if they were there to purchase. Also can we expect to see housing this year? Maybe something like Rifts dimentions.
thanks

Hey guys, just wondering if guild halls and guild vs guild is something you will be looking into soon? we really need features to flesh out and give more reason to be active guilds

Is it possible we can have some new good looking armor? Guild wars is meant to be about the looks kitten that stats but I have nothing new to want to get… I love the game just want more amour

Is there going to be big class changed is the next patch, if so what classes are you working on the most?

Is there a plan to buff pets in general? It seems like pets are a bit underwhelming. One example is on the Alpha fight where it is impossible to use pets because of his massive AoE capabilities.

What are some of these so called weaker builds that were discussed? And are you guys referring to some of the weaker Utility skills as well as weapon skills? Or just the latter?

Because there’s a number of Utility skills that are practically unused and it sucks to have to waste skill points on them. Especially in WvW were skill points are hard to come by.

Are there any plans to create level 80 content into the older dungeons (for eg. a level 80 version of Ascalon paths 1-3, with better rewards).

Are there any plans for legendaries that can be talked about?

The Zhaitan fight, Is it going to stay as it is or will it get a much needed revamp?

sPvP d/d ele super build, what do you think about it?

can we hear more about GUILD halls?

What can you share about the prestige and advancement systems designed for WvW? How will they work?

What is the status of player housing? is that being worked on at least? same thing with Gvg and guild halls… are they being worked on???
What happened to the scepter of orr and livia ? O.o
(ohhh and can we get in the distant future perpahps… mounts …. just for style… i mean YOLO right?)
thank you

I’d like to second this question.

I wasn’t able to hear anything about what is going on with engies, anywhere, which is sadly my main concern. So even though it wasnt discussed in livestream, I am still hoping to get some answers. Are there any plans to make engineer better, such as less rng on skills and more dependable skills to rely on? And any plans on changing turrets? Or are engineers in the position where you want them?
And thanks for any reply!

How is the Dynamic Event system in the open world going to evolve? Will there be additions to make events feel more meaningful with more easily understandable and noticeable effects on the zone/world?

As far as the guild system features go. Are there any more details you can give us on upcoming guild additions/changes either to the UI, or other guild features? Also, thanks for the awesome game!

I know it probably wouldn’t be anytime soon, but do you think someday classes would have more weapon combinations available to them? For example an Ele being able to wield a sword?

What is going to be done about precursors being acquired in any other way besides drops and mystic forge?
And what about the new Legendaries?
