Guild Wars 2

I’ve been playing through the beta. I’m not sure how far in I am, but already I have serious problems with this design. Some of which are game breaking.

1.
Facet of Nature
- The aura on the ground is nearly-the-same color as that of an aura migraine. If you don’t suffer these you may not understand how this is a problem. The color itself can trigger the migraine, just like the color white, and other glare-like lights/colors. Please give us the option to disable this having to view legendary auras. Otherwise it is completely impossible for me to safely use this Legendary or be around Revenants at all.

2.
Upon creating my Revenant I immediately checked to see if I could play a Sylvari. I was overjoyed to discover I could. However, in the story dialogue I noticed the description of the events shifts between “I” and “their”. In the same sentence. I wasn’t paying close enough attention to quote this in entirety, but the problem is obvious. My character is reciting events from the first person, then switched to the third while discussing the Pact. This may be meant as a dramatic statement of how the Sylvari may now see the Pact as a threat, but it is kind of jarring.

Thanks for your time

As a revenant, it was jarring to see Rox ask Rytlok what’s all that new magic when she had fought besides a revenant, ME, just before….

Yeah I was like, “Didn’t you just see me do the same things just now?” I made a human female one.

It just because your not as cool as Rytlok, that is all

Well, to be fair he is able to throw his Glint elite over 1200 range, we can’t do that. So maybe that is what amazed Rox. Rytlock is just so much better at this Revenant stuff than you are.

Keep in mind, that might not be a problem after launch. I have a feeling that elite specs will be locked behind a content wall in the live version, so while you might be able to play as a Revenant during that story chapter, I bet you won’t be able to play as a Herald, so Glint would be new.

Where have the indicated a content wall for specs? My understanding was they would unlock auto when hitting 80

Nope. They’re like any other specialization, except elite.They’ll require hero points. How many for the entire suite is anyone’s guess.

It’s purely speculative, but I’m not the only one who’s thought this. To the best of my knowledge they have not officially said that you can unlock elite traits automatically at 80, just that you need to be level 80 to do it. The speculation is that at least one character on your account might need to progress to a given point in the story and “unlock” the ability to level an elite spec, perhaps even on a per-character basis.

There’s nothing beyond speculation on this though, so take it with a grain of salt.

How many for the entire suite is anyone’s guess.

It’s supposedly like 180 to get all the skills/traits, and then a total of 250 (170 more) to unlock the three exclusive gear pieces. That’s datamining though, and could change.

The only cool charr is a dead one.

Or on my living room floor

As someone who regularily had Migrain with Aura, I have never heard of this. The Aura defines itself rather by not having a color. A piece of static in my view that does not deliver coherent information to the brain. The Aura is a symtom of the Migraine. You can’t just trigger the Aura and get Migraine. Epilepsy works that way.

Apologies that was what I meant. Hero points rather than content and hero points.

Brain doesnt function on an Early start for work…

You may stand with me when the fightback begins.
