Guild Wars 2

Honestly? Since I saw the precursors armors I knew they were going to be ugly. Exception for the heavy one I really love it. Too bad my main toon is ele…….another long coat… Male eles needs pants pls! Saw people asking for this for so kitten long and still we have skirts and coats

Hello, I would like to say that I’ve just finished to make koda’s warmth and I got really sad to see that is definitly not the same aura as the one in bitterfrost frontier from the braziers. I even watched the video on dulfy to see how it looked like but then when equipped on my human toon it was not visible at all!
I tried to change it on other characters and is even worste like on charr for example.
I don’t understand this choice of making it smaller honestly, with such a high price, I expected at least the same aura if not better.
The idea you suggest about the buff is really cool, and it would be a nice incentive for people to make it!

I would really love if it would be possibile to make it look at least like the same aura from the braziers please!
Thanks for reading

Divisions are counted as like tiers not ranks. I dont need more than sapphire now and then works on achievements only. Im really not sure i can pass to sapphire. I dont understand why they put suck a nice reward for pvp only in a game that is all about estetics. I really dont get it. Lost another pip btw back to zero. my offer is still valid.

I was ruby in the first season, in the second one I knew the season started too late and got only to sapphire. So now im starting from emerald, but im really seriously stuck, I dont have much time to play and I want to be sure ill be able to complete the backpiece. I dont mind paying, I just want my backpiece, the pve fractals one is simply ugly compared to this honestly

Hi, I’m looking for a guild that can carry me to sapphire.
Im having serious troubles this season to pass the emerald threshold, the mixmatch is being very bad with me.
I play alone and I dont have friends that does pvp.

I would really love to finish my legendary backpiece collection, I love it!!!
So I need a help to get to sapphire and have enough pvp tokens to buy the last stuff from the league vendor and then ill just have to complete the achievements to be sure ill have everything to complete the backpiece.

Please feel free to pm me ingame!
Wish you a lovely evening, thank you!

no guys really, it should be sword mainhand for ele. And as special skin for the specialization the old Elemental Sword from GW1.

They don’t really know what cool means.

I can’t believe yet….a kittening horn….

What will this week bring for #GW2HoT? ~RB2

Delusion Ruby, delusion.

I really wanted a sword for ele.
Why anet is so great in destroying my expectations?

All my friends and me completly agree and feel like the OP. We are currently playing 2-3days after patch day to do new achievement and play the new story, and than we play other games for the rest 10 days until a new patch comes out. I think if a game development house releases a great new and innovative game right now would just get an enourmous quantity of people from all the games that exists right now. They all feel oldschool with no innovation in anything. I miss GW1 too so much but playing it right now after 6 years it’s kinda boring, we really need something new.

if i use forum search i find only mine, what magic is this :O

Vol.7601:

This questions gets asked multiple times.

If so, Forum Search filter should be improved couse couldn’t fine any post about it.
Thank you.

That doesn’t mean the trading post will be devided. If a Chinese person buy gems and sell gems for gold to buy a legendary weapon for example, The real money will go to Kongzhong company staying in China, whilst only the game virtual money will go elsewhere after all.

Hi!
Does anyone know if the trading post will be united also with china servers? Like is now for EU and NA.

If it will be united what do you think about it? How will it change the current TP and prices in your opinion?

Breathe and be polite!! Discuss

I
Have
Enough.

it’s the only event that doesn’t give credit to me since LA update and next patches.
Is there a known way to complete it or it’s just me i’m stuck?

- Killing mobs don’t work
- healing and give swiftness to ogre don’t work
- running with ogre doing nothing don’t work
- killing + healing + running close to ogre don’t work

Any ideas? couse i’m starting getting really nervous.

Thank you.

Yep i agree with you guys, lesson learnt – definatly. They won’t get me never again.

Hello!
I just spent 10 euro to buy 6 metallurgic dyes kits to have….nothing.
Got 6 dyes 3 blues 2 green and 1 rare (a crap one) for a total value of 1g (i even already had all of them on my main).

I’m wondering why did i fall again into this shop trap, all my fault i know.
I feel totally cheated, it’s like i gave 10 euros for nothing. They are milking and i’m a good cow.

So sad

oh wow i probably missed that out!
Thank you so much Donari!

JonPeters.5630:

Also we will not greatly reduce it because it is giving Warriors a sense of sturdiness that we want their profession to have. Without strong heals, Warriors feel too much like everyone else.

That’s the point.
All classes should be able to do everything, but in their own different way.
As you say warriors stand away from all the others classes. Ofc they do! they are extremetly deadly and resilient in all situation also with a zerk armor. This should not happen imho, or at least give other classes double the damage they have to balance it and be at a war level. I cannot imagine a full zerk ele party do kholer/dwaya p4 arah without using mistform or arcane shield at least and die a lot taking double or triple the time than a full zerk war party. They do every pve content in this game better than any other class. This is a fact.
Go pvp, you can find some great wars tanking 3 people from all other classes, killing them 1 by 1, being immune to condition with sigil regen build, and having a zerk armor. This is just not right.
Seriously if you allow me to kindly ask, why you are so stuck with the idea that war must be the best class ever?

Gw2 combat is amazing, no more trinity, everyone can do anything (is not ture but…lemme continue).
But, why remove the trinity to force everyone just go zerker?
Need more focus on supporters roles imho, and balance the dmg between classes (tone down war gs hunder blades or buff all the other classes as u like)
I kinda have enough to been asked to switch to war all the time, i don’t like war playstyle. Seriously. Thanks.

Hi
It’s been a lot of time i’m trying to find this song’s name. It seems is not included into GW2 OST playlists on youtube.

I could find it only in videos showing beta client login screen playing it. It also plays sometimes in shiverpeaks areas ingame i know.

this link! it starts at minute 3.00

Thank you for the help!

My Elementalist Theme:

Lindsey Stirling – Elements
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sf6LD2B_kDQ

Omg this would be absolutly amazing, you know what would be also so cool?
Remember the flamekissed armor? the one that looks exactly as t3 light human that they removed some days akitten

think about that armor, and it’s fire effect, and think if you switch to water and the fire extinguish leave some fumes and starting dropping water drops _
Than think of the water becoming more solid and darker transforming into floating shiny stones like diamonds for example when going earth attune, and imagine those little precious stones explodes suddendly into electric burst and lightnings when going air attunements _

Oh my…this would be the MOST COOL THING EVER!!!!!!!!!

Everyone who supported this game since day 1 deserves a FREE BIG GIFT from Anet for their patience and to still be here.

I don’t deserve it anyway.
Becouse i stopped supporting this game as i understood they were just milking people as the OP said, and that happened months ago.
I just come back here to stay with friends, but actually my money (around 230 Euro since i left) are going into another game.

Maybe i’ll be back investing in gw2 when Anet understood some things must to be changed. If not i’ll just be happy to give my money to a more respectful company.

Nothing personal, just facts.
Thank you for reading.

Hello, I see there are 2 rewards in december if u purchase gems: the green quaggan backpack and the mini sparkles.

I wanted to know if is possibile to receive these gifts only purchasing gems with real money or also with in game gold.

Thank you for your time.

@ angelpaladin.7921

Updates should be made to make a game more attractive not to loose a bit of the player base at every update….come on really? is this the best they could do?

With 7 years of gw1 the fan base always only increased.

Some posts ago someone said: “Anet is a shadow of it’s former self”. this is actually true, we’ve heard that many of the gw1 team left the gw2 development months ago.

the first and the last images are artworks by an unknown (to me) artist i found a long time ago, the rest is Aion armors = property of NCsoft, I don’t think they should mind if Anet team take some ispiration from those…they really need…inspiration.

Some suggestions about medium and heavy armors also.

For general indications i’ll just quote:

In general:
Light armors: PANTS
Medium armors: NO COATS
Heavy Armors: MORE SKIN

Caffynated.5713:

Regina Buenaobra.6193:

Although the Flamekissed Armor uses the same mesh as the Tier 3 Human Cultural Armor, it was not our intention to create an armor skin that so closely matched the existing Tier 3 Human Cultural armor set. The intention was to use the mesh as a basis for creating an armor set that stands apart and is distinct in appearance.

You’ve just insulted the intelligence of every person who read this.

You don’t spit in people’s faces and then tell them it’s raining when they get mad. You apologize for the insult and admit that your action was wrong. Trying to act like this was an innocent mistake makes you look even worse.

T3 human armor (all kinds) are among the most desirable and distinctive skins in the game. Nobody who has played the game for a month saw that skin and thought anything other than “hey, T3 human with fire!” ANet knew exactly what they were doing when they did this, and to try to brush it off as an innocent mistake in not making it visually distinctive from cultural armor is complete BS.

You and your entire company should be ashamed of this blatantly dishonest response to your customer’s outrage.

the words are hard but i totally agree with this.

selan.8354:

Aedil.1296:

It would be amazing if the removed flamekissed would just be an upgrade to the old t3 human skin and the new flamekissed become a totally new skin….i would love that. and you guys?

for me, no! the flames wouldnt match with my mesmer.

what if mesmers gets feathers (like kasmeer) for men and butterflyes for female, on the armor stones, while elementalists can change the effect depending on the attunements they are?

I go air, i get lightings i go water i get drops i go earth i get rocks effets omg omg _

Hello! I just wanted to express my opinion about new items release in the BLTC and some other things.
I know the development team is kinda in a rush couse of the 2 weeks timeline, and maybe they don’t have much time to discuss the impact of new items releases on economy and on players psycology, but as scandals goes on (like the one with infinite gathering tools example) I’m wondering if the team thinks about the consequenses of these actions. It doesn’t take too much to understand what is equal and what not imho. I would kindly suggest the team to take your time and think about the impact of releasing some items that touches the concept of rarity of other items already in game.

The t3 light human armor is the last example we have. Releasing a t3 cultural with improved estetic of course piseed off completly all the people already had it spending a lot of time and resouces to get it, to just find out that suddently on BLTC it appear the same armor, avaliable for any race, and with an improved visual effect.
This is not equal, not that hard to understand.
I do actually love the concept u wanted to introduce the possibility for other races to use such an awesome set like the human t3 light, but if course this required a sort of psycological compensation for people that already have that item.

Being equal is not that hard too. The team could just gave the same effect to the t3 human, so that who already has it, was fine with it avaliable on the shop.
In any way you are not gonna loose money, becouse:
1- who already has t3 conforming to the race that only can have it, it will automatically buy the new version from npc visually upgraded. Who don’t have that race, can buy it from the gem store.
2- who buy the shop version, already have transmutation included on it since is a skin. so if me human want to use this armor on ascended armor, i’ll have to buy transmutation stores, so no loose of money for Anet anyway.
And of course for who likes the normal version without the effect, it can be created a tool in the H panel to choose if to have the effect on it or not.

In my opinion, if u do the things consideratin all the impact it can have, and giving solutions for it, is a lot better than just release a content in the way you did becouse right now most people are thinking:
1- I can’t trust Anet, why should i buy a t3 or even a legend? who assures me they are not gonna make it avaliable at the shop for a lot less money as did with t3 light human?
2- oh good, they released this content like says “we do this, if they cry maybe we can think about changing it, if they don’t we just leave things as they are”
I know the truth is probably different, or maybe a mid-way between what i said, but this doesn’t change the people opinion and trust about you as company.

We both know too many people already left the game, and that’s a big pity, couse i think gw2 has a VERY huge potential to take online gaming into the next era of experience.
Last thing. The MMO migration.
All the people I know that plays gw2 though u were talking about all the people that left the game when we first saw that title. After reading we understood it was another marketing stuff to catch new people to play the game, insisting on some stuff that in our opinion are not true. Example:
“That I turn my back forever on grind which is/are totally lame.” (taken from gw2 oath example given on the site) http://migration.guildwars2.com/en/
Do you really think gw2 has not grinding?
It takes me back at your Manifesto Video, in wich the gw2 team said all great stuff but in the game they barely did half of it.
I really hope this message don’t hurt anyone, I tried to speak with an open heart, since we all care about gw2 becoming a healty and great MMO as it deserves.

Thank you for reading.

You all already seen one of jungle dragon generals (like Teq for Zaitan) just when u start a new sylvari character at the end of your dream you actually fight a plant like corrupted dragon general.

There are many theories about sylvari, but i’m pretty sure than yes they are actually minions of jungle dragons, BUT they are somehow nomore connected to it but instead they have been affected by Ventari vision of life, and since sylvari and his human friend were buried at the root of the pale tree they can have interfered in it’s growth, becoming part of the tree itself.

There is also a sylvari personal story quest that speaks about other pale trees out there and we already know that the Ventari’s human friend (that strangly i don’t remember his name) found the pale tree seeds inside a cavern 250 years ago.

I think is pretty simple, the other dragons corrupts living creatures whilst the jungle dragon, representing the earth element, just make his minion grow from the earth like plants, and the pale trees are actually his way to procreate. Think about Zaitan.
We know he has some special minions to serve as mouth for eating, eyes for see….

I really like how u set up the past events! I wish they will follow your suggestion!

I agree in every u said. I hope gw2 will finally become a real sequel. I dont mean gw1 with better graphic. Just a sequel for a loved game. And pls gw1 became a big game without any RNG stuff pls go back to that more sane and correct philosophy to your players.

I absolutly agree, that’s a sure thing that if u love deep storylines that actually are important and have impact on how u see the world, GW1 is the right choice.
You’ll have stories at every corner of the game, tons of secondary quests but always linked to the main world. Thousands of npcs and places to explore, Lore everywhere, trust me, EVERYWHERE.

Actually for what we know, there is NO CORNER OF TYRIA where something did not happened. The GW1 team covered all the maps and made something happen there, but not like the personal story of gw2, but bigger stuff, much bigger, something that actually made you feel VERY involved into the game and it’s story, and the iconic characters where just there always but not as main character, YOU were the MAIN CHARACTER, the one who actually turned up everything, and changed the history.

You won’t regret playing gw1. Actually one of the best game ever.

I agree, all of it, nice to meet you too Silent The Gray!

I really think they should hire the old gw1 again couse loosing them made the game…..“not good as expected”, to be polite.

advertised your work at my Lore post here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/lwd/Living-World-1-year-later-a-sincere-opinion/first#post3006204

Thank you for covering gw1 and 2!

Oh i found a nice Video if you don’t have the time to watch all the WoodenPotatoes gw2 lore related video, this is a pretty summary, well is a very very little summary but it gives the idea on how fast is gw1 lore =)

Did u guys had a look at the name of ascended jewelry? Well, take a look and you’ll find some of the most precious or lore related objects of GW1.
Example: Ancient Mursaat Token, Armbrace of Truth, eye of jantir, Khilbron’s Phylactery, Golden Relic of Rin, Althea’s Ashes, ect ect ect.
Most of these items are related to a vast piece of GW1 you’ll never see and experience during your gw2 journey. That’s a pity couse the related lore is just AMAZING interesting.

Especially the term Ascended, that originally was not a grindfest to get some new items, but it was a sacred rite every gw1 player must pass throught to become closer to the Gods, see → http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Ascension

Everything in gw1 had a deep lore explanation, nothing were ever added in the game without a clear lore motivation, this is why gw1 lore is so fantastic.

my opinion: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/lwd/Living-World-1-year-later-a-sincere-opinion/first#post2992674

Draconicus.7564:

Guys, we must sadly accept the fact that GW died,victim of Capitalism!
And this it’s not a GW sequel at all,but kinda a “new” game that IMHO would have been called: “Tyria Online”, or something similar to that, instead of GW 2!

The game atm is just like a huge Theme Park, nothing more serious than that!

Although i agree with you, I still hope there is way to take gw2 where it should be. People make mistakes, for many reasons, and I think the game can forget what happened in this first year and take the right direction.

well to be honest….most of us lore ultrafan could write a living story better than this lol xD sorry if this offends anyone but…really is true.

I do appreciate the hard work the Anet team puts in their job. I just cannot find any reason for choices they made about the lore, what’s the meaning of this. They can actually reach high goal, they are very good at what they do, but they are taking wrong choices in my opinion, and these choices are every day pushing people away from their product, either new players and old GW fans. What’s the point of this? I lost too many friends couse of this (not lost ofc they just don’t play gw2 but we kept in touch).

Henge.3907:

Their reasoning could be “That was GW1 and this is GW2. We made nods to the past but we’re moving forward with new lore and ideas.” Which makes me sad because I really miss all the stories.

in gw1 they created a whole unique universe with 1/10 of the resources they have now (maybe more) and now they are not able to make high quality lorewise contents?
I understand someone want to bring new ideas, but since the game is GW2 and not another name, i think it should first close what has began in gw1.
After that feel free to bring new ideas.
GW2 is about dragons and their wake up, but looking at the world there is just no fear about them, or any anxious about it, it’s just like dragons don’t exists.
If u say the old lore team is no longer working there i believe you, is pretty clear looking at the state of lore now.
But you didn’t answer my question, how to make them understand this?
You cannot make a gw2 deleting gw1, choose another name at least, is more honest.

We still need tons of videos about gw1 lore to make new players understand a lore actually exist, i can’t imagine they would do what u say. is a great idea i love it, but really i don’t think this is gonna happen :/

I agree with all had been said so far, is there a way in your opinion to let us be heard about this? or at least to have an explanation about why gw1 has been totally forgotten by the writers? (or never been learnt at all?)

Jeff Grubb still working for Anet or just left it as all the others?

I really like this idea!
Livia is an important character from gw1, she has a deep background and we know her very well, at least we knew her! if the scepter of orr corrupted her (since is an orr artifact) and made her evil – a great evil – this would be very interesting!
Thanks for sharing!

This is a very good point! i never thought of it!
Since the hall of monuments contains our trophies it should be near there maybe?
That’s another mistey:
- who built the eye of the north?
- what connection has the scrying pool with the dragon?
- the statue that spawn when u reach “god walking amongst mere mortals” title what represent? with the weird beam of light that comes from up the sky?

Zoltreez.6435:

Aedil.1296:

but sometimes i come back to check the stuff, and i get angry when nothing changes. I know a lot of people feel like this,

When Anet understand this ?

That’s a good question.

Yep i totally understand, your english is much better than mine =)
Thanks for the support Konig, and yes I totally lost interest in GW2, i’m actually playing and spending my money on another game, but sometimes i come back to check the stuff, and i get angry when nothing changes. I know a lot of people feel like this, I really loved GW1 and i stay in TS with my guildmates still altough i don’t play, so i can help them out, or talking about gw lore.
The lore settled in gw1 really created a believable living world, and no other MMO did it so well before, with so many places to go, so many things happened, it’s just, just amazing. And the Mysteries!
I really wanted so badly for gw2 to reveil those mysteries.
Well, never trust business companies

This is very interesting! I like this idea!
