Guild Wars 2

Hello, staff of Anet! mainly the topic was made because well, I was just happen to notice that a lot of the questions put up on here have to do with asking about armor skins, living story, maps, races, classes and all the rest of the other specifics.

I was hoping to break away with that trend a little, and just approach with a little friendly chat and see what your opinions are on your own game. Basically, just to give a few ballpark examples, which of the different professions do you enjoy playing the most? what kind of build do you use for your character? is there any particular NPC of the game that plays a major role in the story that you like the most? What’s your style, as in are you a combo-master, ranged specialist or setting up a fight for other players to assist in delivering the killing blow? What are some of your favorite maps in the world of Tyria?

and if I may be allowed to ask one little thing off topic, what other games do you enjoy playing if any? Guild Wars 2 seems to have a lot of inspirations taken from other games and hey, I’m sure everyone gets ideas from other material to implement into their own style.

Anyway, this is just a little attempt at engaging in some friendly conversation with all of the hard working people behind the game, something I hope you enjoy.

ShinigamiSama.1453:

which of the different professions do you enjoy playing the most?

I have at least one of every profession. I’m slowly working toward having every combination.

ShinigamiSama.1453:

what kind of build do you use for your character?

Most of the time, whatever floats my boat. For specific content, I sometimes try to tune things to complement my general play style and allow me to dole out the damage.

ShinigamiSama.1453:

Not particularly.

ShinigamiSama.1453:

What’s your style, as in are you a combo-master, ranged specialist or setting up a fight for other players to assist in delivering the killing blow?

Depends on the class really, but since I’m often running solo, I tend to play a safer tactic (whatever that may be for the class.)

ShinigamiSama.1453:

What are some of your favorite maps in the world of Tyria?

I’m having a tough time thinking of a favorite. There are things I like in nearly every map.

ShinigamiSama.1453:

what other games do you enjoy playing if any?

I play a lot of games from casual, to shooters, to just about everything in between. I haven’t really been tempted to play a MOBA yet though.

That’s a….bit too bland even for a ‘forum approved developer answer’ imo…try again?

OR maybe you dont want to spoil anything? ;P

Is it just me, or is your ‘red splash’ missing?

Always great to get to know more about the Devs; thanks for participating! =)

I feel like muli classes should be added since we see so many in the game from the new HOT content like engineers doing shawdow step n such cough raids

kitten grown-ups .. no favourite npc, no favourite map, no favourite ice cream. format c:\ boys. jon, google “atari breakout” and click pictures. hope i made your day!

i enjoy having someone send me some gems so that i don’t have to spend and arm and leg over 1 Character Slot

i want to create a Guardian still, maybe a Necro or a Mesmar? But alas i am unable to because of not having enough slots to create it.

So please please please send them to me and help me being starved by not creating something that will have me sitting in the game all day :P

Other than that, WvW with my Ranger has been nice, been grinding away at Weapon crafting to learn how expensive crafting can be o.O ohh and i really do enjoy the Engineer class to this game, its really a unique and different spin on things.

LilShippo, are you a dev? You’re missing your red tag …

Just checking!

I am somehow not surprised by Gaile’s Rangeriness … but she hasn’t kept it a secret. Looking forward to what other devs/ANetters have to say, if they feel like saying it.

Gaile Gray.6029:

For me:

Race/Profession: I play human ranger. Almost exclusively and quite a lot. (Like nights, weekend, holidays…) I started with a ranger/monk in Guild Wars — although I had one of each profession — and I continued with ranger in GW2 in part because, in an RP way, my girl today is the descendant of my girl in GW. (Although in GW, I left my main at Level 7 for reasons too convoluted to explain, where in GW2 I’m a proud 80 working on getting more masteries.)

Build: What’s that? Ok, ok, I joke… but just a little. I play dual-bow pet wrangler, which I confess isn’t the best… stop laughing!

NPC: I fall hopelessly in love with asura NPCs. Started with Vekk and I may or may not have cried when Snaff was slain. And you have to have a stone heart to not adore Zojja or adorable Taimi.

Favorite maps: I don’t even know where to begin, I love so many of them. Sometimes it’s the map. Sometimes it’s the music or sounds in the map. Sometimes it’s the lighting. Sometimes it’s the loot on the map with the good music, sounds, and lighting. I like the lush green maps best for just being there. My favorite place of all is Lion’s Arch, and that is best at Halloween.

Edit: Bloodtide Coast is a definite fave, and the loading screen is my favorite of all.

Now we just need some devs to actually play rangers so they can fix some issues ;p
Longbow is pretty messy ATM :s

Having run into Gaile Grey several times in the open world, can confirm she has ALWAYS been on ranger :P I also have ran with Linsey Murdock for a few hours, who was playing a human guardian at the time.
