I am very disappointed how the druid turn out. It seem to me that Arenanet still have figout what they really want to do with the ranger class. Even druid specialization have nothing to offer our pets in anyway or form. why couldn’t they have putting traits that favor pets and spirits, but nevertheless i will trying out the druid all the same just because i have hope they will get it right one of this days. I really wish they can have balance game play like Aion ranger and WoW hunter class for the ranger class.
This have always been the problem when playing a sylvari. The human looking armour don’t look good on them. It’s a shame that one have to wait up to level 30 upward before they can get cultural armour to wear. For an old player with gold yes it’s easier to dress up your toon to look like a true sylvari. But for a new player who just picked up GW2, and he/she is interesting in playing a sylvari you are stack with the human looking armour which is Pretty boring and break up the immersion
Alright let be honest about this? The pet swapping is not going to help anything. You need to account for the trait which reduce the cool down., and if am not mistaking that is a master trait which mean one have to spec deep into beastmastery to get a full Benefit of the pet dodge. We need to take other builds into Consideration here. People asking for button of a sort for as to enable our pet to dodge is Seriously ridiculous. If am spec for trap build and most of the damage come from my traps why should I be taking the time to manage my pet to avoid and AOE when I should be concentrating on placing my next trap. The whole pet system need a rework., either by giving pet their own traits which allow them to reduce the damage they take or you give them flat damage Reduction in AOE damage.
Is my understanding that this is about dungeon and fractals, because if so if I recall pets in GW1 were naturally infused against the Mursaat’s Spectral Agony and had 33% damage reduction. Anyway is it possible to give pet their own traits like cower which have to be activated by the pet A.I which reduces damage taken by a Percentages for oh let 6sec. While cowering your pets movement speed or damage is reduced by Certain percentage. This way it stop the pet from dieing so quickly to AOE.
The first armor that you link which is called mhenlo, I think that will best represent kormir. Acron Armor of dwayna, well I don’t think Dwayna wear heavy armor to begin with. If I remember correctly the concept art that you linked was just the way the dervish avatar form for Dwayna looks, by the looks of thing that too look like a light armor. But I see your point.
Oh yay, more Kormir hate… She did plenty, but the player couldn’t be a god for mechanic, lore, and so forth reasons. I’m sure if Nightfall was a novel or movie or something less “you, the player, is the hero”-ish of a medium, folks wouldn’t hold one bit of disdain for Kormir (for becoming a god that is). Also, titles were not lore so no you never had the same rank as Kormir (tbh, that was a very weird thing Anet did…).
Ogden wasn’t the only dwarf to not undergo the Rite of the Great Dwarf right away (Alkar you see as flesh after the initial Rite; as well as all those Stone Summit within Slavers’ Exile), however, every single dwarf eventually did – and within 50 years to boot. All dwarves were magically compelled to undergo the rite (before doing so, though, the Stone Summit made peace with the Deldrimor dwarves again – since they sensed the end of their age coming with the upcoming need to undergo said Rite). Since this was well after the Great Dwarf’s death, the GW1 PC was likely not nearby. And it wasn’t forced – even Ogden said he would eventually, just not yet.
Joko’s ruling because the players didn’t (though he was playing a goodie-goodie for a while except when Thorn was involved). End of story. If you actually paid attention, the PC kittens a lot of kitten up – from the very beginning to the very end, be it letting Rurik die (thus pushing Adelbern further over the edge of insanity that led to the Foefire), only killing the White Mantle’s leadership and leaving it alone for 7 years, unleashing the Titans (though admittedly they fixed that), disappearing after Shiro’s death and doing nothing about the Afflicted, Kurzick/Luxon war re-igniting, or Togo’s death for 7 years again, unleashing Joko and doing nothing about him, unleashing Dhuum (all those trips to the Underworld also caused the Godslost Swamp situation too), letting the White Mantle live after the War in Kryta, and lastly letting Ashu – a young brainwashed kid – lead a fanatic oppressive regime. In the end, you got to realize: our characters were dumb as kitten. Or had no sense of “long term goals.”
And that is probably why they’re forgotten in being mentioned by the game. Over half of today’s problems were caused by them! Even the centaur war is due to the PCs (the Modniir are waging war of vengeance for their tribe being nearly wiped out during GW1).
And besides, who would want to write epic tales about the fool dancing with a mini fungal wallow? Clearly that “hero” got hit in the head a few too many times. :P
I don’t hate Kormir its just that the way the story proceeded (imo) the gods could have chosen anyone to become the next god. .
But the Gods did choose who can be become the next God. That was the powers the avatar gave to Kormir.
This is the problems when it come to pet classes in mmo. Only two mmo have done it right so far. Warhammer online (white lion class) and aion (Spirit master class). Our pets are our weapons so the way I see it why should other class have better weapons to use and look so epic, whiles our pets looks the same from the day we got them. I have never understand this in anyway. We can have the best gear but, our pets will always look out of place with us. Pet should evolve and look different.
This is very interesting. But why not have two legendary weapons which is base on pve and SPvP/WvW. Make sure that you can only Achieve only one of them. So for people who enjoy spvp/wvw can have their own legendary, and those that complete the pve story can also have their own legendary too. But you have to make it that so that for those that enjoy but both have to choice which of the legendary they want, since they can only have one.
I have to agree with konig on this one that Anet wouldn’t allow our avatars to be the leader of the pact. I know most of you have you reason why you want Tranhearne be the bad guy but I don’t.
Family crests usually pass only via male line – meaning probably her father was a minor noble. As far as i know there is no information of his identity.
Who said family crest can only be pass down by the male line. This were you a wrong, the formation of a noble house are usually boom granted by the king or queen which intent create this. Where I come from in west Africa (Ghana) the Akan tribe take the mother line instead of the father line names. So you see this could be the same here.
Could go the route Blizzard went with the Warcraft Old Gods – there were only five or six of them in lore for the longest time, but then they started getting killed off and Blizzard revealed that there are only five or six… on that planet.
So we might be looking at other Elder Dragons, out in the stars, who might get hungry and come looking for us.
Please not the blizzard route, that ruin the story even from the books. There were only five old gods present on Azeroth at the time of the Titans. As much as I feel for the fight between zhaitan and our avatars, I wouldn’t want it brought back again. The reason be it will be like Onyxia from World of Warcraft the number of time we killed her and her been brought back just ruin everything. So I will say it again please no.
@Rhaps. Oh no not the Causeway?
Guys for get about rare pet. What we need is for our pet to evolve. Every mmo out always Neglect pet class, and only few have manage to pull such things of. Aion Spirit master class is one and warhammer white lion class. This only two pet classes that I have enjoyed because of the pet evolution. They grow in size, gain Extra skills. So why not have something Similar in here.
OP let me get this straight, you would have prefer to see a cutscenes when you go through a gate right. Hmm as most people have already stated its will get boring really fast, but there is another way to go about what you are asking. What if we get one cutscene for every new location you get to. Let say you new character just get from loins arch to the grove the first time, you character will than Appear in front of the gate in the grove in the cutscene show you the whole city for the first time.
@Curuniel.4830 you not talking about the quest (Envoy of the Dredge) because if that the case the you should know that if was the Dredge who attacked the Kurzicks patrols.
Here is the quest initial dialogue
Moleneaux
“You won’t attack me, will you? I do not mean you any harm, I just need someone to help. My people fight a great underground war against the Stone Summit Dwarves in the Shiverpeaks, far to the…north, I think. But some of my clan decided to escape the only way we knew how, by digging a tunnel to the other side of the world! And now here we are, safe from the dwarves, it seems, but these forests are strange to us. There are creatures that do not want to enslave us, no, but they want us dead. Humans called Kurzicks…I think…try to kill us for encroaching on their territory. please help us, I beg you. Help me reach this Count zu Heltzer I have heard the humans mention. I think he is one of their leaders. If he knew of our plight, surely his people would not hunt us like animals.”
Count zu Heltzer
“What? These monstrous intruders want peace, after striking out patrols? Perhaps the creatures have convinced you they acted in self-defense, but I must rely on words of our trusted field officers, and they themselves claim self-defense. Whatever your “friend” says, his people have already made an enemy of the Kurzicks. That is the answer you may deliver. If these creatures only want to survive, they can do it wherever they came from."
Moleneaux
“So these Kurzicks refuse to hear reason, do they? I had hoped that we could avoid further conflict, but I am only one Dredge. Though our appeals for peace were met with scorn, I will still try to convince my people to stop attacking the Kurzicks. Perhaps in time the humans will see we are not a threat…or perhaps we are doomed. There are far more of them, to be sure. We are not monsters, and we repay your kindness with this. Thank you.”
The reason why I remember this because I played it with one of my alts about five days ago. There is two fellow up quest after that.
I have said this before, why have crafting profession in first place when we can’t even craft a sylvari look armor or for that matter a weapon. Take the crafted Exotic armour for instance, all of them have human theme look to them. Where is the sylvari,charr, norn, and Asura Variation. Please give as more leafy armor and weapon variation.
From my understanding all the Natural metallic dye do have some sort of glow effect. There are only 13 of these dye by the way. Celestial, white gold, icing, mint frost, silver, frost, ash, antique bronze, sage, oxblood, oil slick, black and abyss. But am not sure about the natural leather once though, since I haven’t got one yet.
I’m okay with most of the medium armors/trench coats as a Ranger, but I don’t like some of the headgears. Masks are generally fine, but monocles and that half-skull thing are just weird on a Ranger. As for the level 80 crafted exotic armor…
http://www.gw2armor.com/human/male/crafted/medium/front.jpg
Yeah… the Shredder thing doesn’t seem like it’d suit any of the medium armor classes, IMO, but I guess there’s just no accounting for taste. :T
Speaking of the level 80 crafted exotic armor, they don’t look anything like the concept art. And here is my proof. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Armor_03_concept_art.jpg while is you look at the light armour and heavy armor, both look Exactly like the concept art.
Truth be told I am very disappointed about this. GW2 wasn’t suppose to be about gear progression. But am not going to let this ruin my gameplay experience, so I have decided to Ignore the Ascended stuff and just stick with my Exotic gear.
@Shriketalon, from what you described it sound like dragon age Origin end boss fight with the archdemon. But yeah that would have been much epic that way if we could have had such an end. I hope Anet read this thread because they could use this to improved the next ED that we fight in the next big expansion.
I can’t remember which thread I read it from but the looks of things, it’s a bug. But yeah that not the only time NPC forget about you as stated in the above. (Spoilers )The mother tree also forget about you when get deeper into the story quest.
Happy New Year to the community of Guildwars 2 and to Anet.
Whiles I have to say this thread need to be considered seriously, I also want to add the crafting medium, light, and heavy armor luck the variation. Where is the sylvari looking crafting gears. For me when I put on those leather armor for my ranger who is a sylvari by the way, I kind if feel very disappointed because the only way to get any that looks good on her is the sylvari culture tier gear or Twilight arbour gear.
I was surprise we didn’t have such a function. since in GW1 we had such function to choose what to display in town areas without Manually going to the character sheet to change them all the time.
I still don’t get why a lot people hate kormir. I thinks she was just Brilliant leader who care about her people. When it come to trahearne, well you get background story when you play sylvari as most have stated, but you have to remember people he is just a Scholar while unlike Kormir who was a warrior and the leader of the most elite force in elona.
you can do that really easy. if you got a main you can buy the T1 armor and than use the transmutation stone to transmute the T1 gear.
@TheUndefined don’t we have hero already in the game. I mean if you take your personal story and the main story you get to team up with NPC character which represent the system that was in GW1. I mean take caithe or Logan Thackeray, aren’t they like Koss or Melonni from GW1.
I too was at a lost when I spoke to that ministry guard. You have to remember our characters do not have any house to call their own. So am guessing when they flesh out the home instance and we able to have a build to call our house than maybe we can see whether the dialogue is suppose to mean anything.
To the community and Arenanet team, i would like to say may the peace and blessings of christmas be yours; and may the coming year be filled with happiness. Merry Christmas
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Stun_break
One of these is not like the others, one of these doesn’t belong.
At least 4 utility skill stun breaks for every other class.
Let me get this, all the other class profession have a least 4 whiles we have only 2. I will called that unbalance don’t you think.
Seriously though Orr map is always been contested. Trying to find a safe place is pretty hard. I wasted more silver in Orr than any another map due to the fact that mobs just respawn really fast. But I have to agree with the OP. people say that, this game Encourages group play but not really if you think about is. You can still arrival at an event join the killing without any form of group party form. I seen people trying to form groups and in the chat window people ask why the group forming. The game is more solo than party system. The party system I see are for the dungeons. From day one we have alway had the Impression that we can complete our personal story without any form of party system still you hit the last part of your story than you realise that is not true.
Hmm thats more like aion chanters class too me. Anyway back to topic, I don’t see how that is going to work. Since the only class that came real close was a monk in GW1 and since monk skills has been giving to the guardian, I wonder what role can a martial arts/fighter class fit into without ruin the class balance.
I wouldn’t mind the whole looks for my Mesmer. But yeah the staff looks great though I rather prefer some more class specific weapons for the winter and more bugs fix
As Anakita-Snakecharm Stated you will find in the last manor house where your homecoming party was held.
One thing that I have notice is that, once you visit the orders HQ its will let you pass if you decide go back, but if you exit the HQ you are automatically restricted from using the gate. They really need to unrestricted the gates once you complete the quest where the base fort Trinity is Establish.
This is most interesting thanks. It’s good to know that you guys haven’t forgotten us
@Lex they didn’t create the human race, they just brought them to tyria., but yes it is very disappointing.
The only thing you get from which God or Goddess you choose, is that their priest /priestess show up in you home instances, that all.
For those that played sylvari here are some of the things that changes in you personal instances.
In the biography I chose.
The white stag so I get it in my home instance
Act with wisdom, but act:- I get these people for my home instances Carys, Tegwen, and Larra
The pale tree awakened me during the cycle of noon:- I get
Niamh the luminary of the cycle of noon.
The order that you join:-
Iowerth
When you save dupty Mira in the battle of claw island
Falooaloo because I chose the Quaggans and many more I can remember their names.
Yes I have to agree with Mirodir, the storyline in the game is likely to lead to contradiction. I played as a Sylvira ranger but in the light and darkness quest trahearne talk as if am not a Sylvira and I have never meant the mother tree. When I got the to the mother tree she spoke as if am not are sylvari and I was like what this really. After the a sad duty quest I stop playing all my personal quests.
The real question is where in your home instance do she stay because have looked everywhere can’t find her
In all honesty we don’t need more pets. What we need is pet evolution. I mean all MMO out that have pet control classes only two game that I have played the makes your pet feel awesome. First one is war hammer online pets evolved in different tiers. So the looks awesome just like their master who control them. The second one is Sprint master from aion where I wouldn’t called it evolved as such but they o have tiers which makes the pets look good. Tell me why should we tame a pet that will looks the same from level one to max level. Where you the PCs character can change different type of armor set and weapons like their is no tomorrow. Sometime I think the dev and people forget that a ranger pet is a tools weapon just like the bow, sword, or daggers they wield. Our pets should grow in size and have different look about them. In real life and ranger pet would grow in size so why shouldn’t ingame pet.
(edited by Acaelus Thorne.3862)
That must have cost you guys a lot but congratulations. This is one of the reason I should have a human, sylvari, and norn guardian because the armor look just pure awesome.
@Mik Hell with do you expect from someone who is not a warrior! Riannoc was a warrior and caladbolg was made for him to beginning with. What should have happened is that Caladbolg should have changed to which class that weild it. So for Trahearne it’s should have the best staff or scepter.
I just finished my Personal Story. Here are my thoughts. (Spoilers Within)
Posted by: Acaelus Thorne.3862
I have to agree there was too much inconsistencies in the personal storyline. My sylvari was a ranger and I choice these for my biography: I dreamed of a quest that calls me to action. It was a vision of The White Stag — The White Stag is a creature of enchantment, an immortal beast with great power. It is said that the stag will trade a magical boon for its freedom, if I can catch it. I believe that the most important of Ventari’s teachings is Act with wisdom, but act. — It is one thing to know what is right and another to change the world. We all have a calling. I will distinguish myself through my actions and thereby lift Tyria to a higher state of nobility. The Pale Tree awakened me during the Cycle of Day — Sylvari awakened mid-day solve problems by attacking them head-on. We are the warriors, hunters, and travelers who experience life first-hand and enjoy the rush of taking risks in order to feel truly alive. I can say only the first three quests in my personal story was related to two the things I choice in the bio. Even meeting Trahearne at the lion arch with Magister Sieran he behave like that was the first time we met. And it was not only him, the mother tree too did the same and i was like really. What was the point of all the early quest meet with them and calling me Herald.
Why should they have all the things that you have mentioned? The last I checked their where house for each Luminary. Which are Aife Luminary of Dawn. Here all the sylvari born come to this house to learn all that they must learn and sleep there too. Same goes for the rest of the house like Niamh of Noon, Malomedies of Night, and house of Kahedins of the cycle of dusk. To me the way I see them in time the grove will develop to a fully fletch city with load of pod house everywhere. You have to remember there was only a few of them to start with. It’s only an till now that they start to pop out like rain drops.
Haha I like the way a lot of hate for Trahearne. I agree with most things but even the Sylvria story with him start to look stupid. It all get like that when you get to the point before the battle of claw Island. I was like really why are you beheaving like we never met at all. Then I site down and thought about it. This was because this part of the storyline was design for those who are not Sylvria. The same thing happen to the mother tree too and was like, really how come the mother tree do not recognise me one of her daughters. All I can say is there was, a mistake from when you first meet him for the claw island business, or it could just be bad write. Apart from that his a cool guy.
@Illushia really oh my! They truly have lost their ways. its good that i quite the game for games like Guild wars. i use to love the lore for World of Warcraft now its nothing more but a joke. well ArenaNet i hope you guys a paying attention to this. I will hate it if you guys pull the same thing that blizzard did.
Haha that’s was a good one. Captain planet indeed.
