Guild Wars 2

I like this idea a lot.

Anet, make it happen!

Same here. Does not matter where I am, game crashes after 1-2 hours of gameplay. Its getting really annoying.

Most of the times it happens when I open trading post, then I see big blue/green colors, then after a few seconds it crashes.
This also happened once when I tried using cooking station.

Sometimes it seem to just crash randomly.

Glad you mentioned that! I get the same thing. As soon as I see blue/green (mostly from the TP, but have seen on world map, pvp, equipment screen, etc) I can expect a crash within 10-20 seconds.

Honestly, they’d be foolish not to. It’s disruptive to their entire new progressive map style rewards. It makes zero sense not to implement it now.

100% agree. I have been saying this for years, but it’s even twice as important now with the map progression style they have chosen that it is very important to remain in the map for an hour. Sick when you DC and can’t find your way back.

Anet, please remove the sound made from using Staff Skill #1. I sound like a kitten submarine.

I have crashed about 5 times today, over about 3 hours. But every single time I have crashed, it is at the end of an event. The first was at Mad King says, when the chest popped I dropped, but was able to come back to a chest (but no achievement). The other 4 were in Verdant Brink. Pretty irritating to say the least, but I was able to open all my chests when I came back.

How about a lock pick with a 50% chance to unlock a BL chest?

I think the biggest indication will be if they turned Trahearne evil so we can finally kill him off. Then we will really know that they care about us!

If you feel out of place, try to join a guild that advertises for new or inexperienced players. I understand if you feel reclusive, but by putting yourself out there, even the slightest bit of joining a potentially friendly guild, beats the hell out of hot joining with gear checking elitists.

I agree the beta wasn’t quite clear on the new specs, but if you made a beta character of a profession spec that has been released, you had access to the new trait line, weapon and skills. That was the most enjoyable aspect of this beta for me.

I agree completely about the dead maps. Unfortunately two of the major event chains had severe bugs that would halt completion making the day events worthless, and people would just bail. For me Verdant Brink felt like a huge let down, but I won’t judge until it’s fixed, I can see the potential.

Due to the bugged nature of events, it took longer than it should have to unlock masteries; however, I did want to grind at least to get my glider. It was pretty fun, albeit slow…but exciting that it might be fun with the additional gliding masteries to make it more dynamic.

For those saying they unlocked it in half an hour, they could have been on a bug free map, or rerolling beta characters and completing the first story mission, as from my understanding that was the quickest “exploit” to raise the masteries.

Either way, I agree with some of your points, but am anxious to play the final product, one in which I can keep my progress! On a side note, the revenant is feeling better and better after each beta event. The feedback is working tremendously for that character, Anet seems to be listening.

I think necros got some of the largest buffs from the patch. Conditions are insane, and their life force gaining traits are very annoying. They are proving to be some of the hardest professions to take down right now I think.

As much as I love my Rampage, its hard to argue that it’s not overpowered. You actually missed the biggest overpowered feature. Skill 1 interrupts. I will jump (skill 5) into a group of people and just spam 1 to interrupt everyone in the area while my party cleans people up. And if I’m on Foefire, I can run straight to the lord and Rampage him down in one burst. It will interrupt every one of his heals. This however doesn’t excuse Lich Form entirely. Lich Form still needs toned down, but admittedly, so does Rampage.

Perhaps killing them isn’t the answer either. Could be a way of forcing them back to sleep as to not mess with their magical connections within the world. That would be the quick easy way out to wrapping things up.

An alternate long term plan could be the dragons win the battle. What if they stand up and utterly destroy Tyria. Set up for a future Guild Wars 3, perhaps after another 100-200 years. There are other continents other than Tyria/Elona and Cantha to explore.

This needs to be addressed. I have said it in game, and people just say I’m being a whiner. I have all the achievements, so it doesn’t bother me at this point, as I too am now one of the “farmers”, because it is highly profitable. HOWEVER! It is NOT good for the community and needs to be fixed promptly. People shouldn’t be continuously locked out of being able to complete achievements that are required with a community effort. Easy fix: allow only 5 dig sites per fort.

Not sure if it’s just me but ever since the 9/9 patch I have to keep re-entering my password at login. I’ve tried disabling the ‘remember my password’ and logging in, logging out and trying again with it enabled, but it keeps getting reset every time. Not sure if there is a work around for this or not. Any help would be appreciated.

I’ve noticed this as well. It’s obnoxious. On a side note, it would also be nice while using the adrenaline skill, that if I choose to use it at a premature stage that it doesn’t cancel because it advances to the next stage.

If we ever get customizable housing, I am mounting Trahearne’s head over my mantle.

Most likely they are both working with the “main” team on something much larger than the living story, such as a true expansion. It would make the most sense as to why Anet has let SO much slip over the two years, SO much content that was talked about before release that has yet to come out. If I’m wrong and the living story is all we have to look forward to, GW2 is in serious trouble. I like the living story and think it is a great way to keep you sticking with the game, but only if there is something MUCH greater to come. I’m remaining optimistic.

It’s bugged. I’ve done it multiple times with several of those times that should’ve been successful. I rescued all 7 by myself, told them all to retreat, kept my distance from the last event, and even scaled the side of the building up and over to the portal (which done correctly won’t get you close enough to take off the icon) and had all 7 NPCs standing in front of the portal alive and well BUT STILL NO achievement! Sick of that event.

I always figured the Abbadon tie in was just from Scarlet seeing Abaddon in her ‘enlightening’ vision. That somehow he is the driving force for Chaos, much like he did with the Lich, Shiro, and Varesh. That he is still out there pulling strings, nudging Scarlet to awaken more dragons to disrupt the world. There HAS to be a connection. I don’t think the Fractal would’ve been anything but an introduction course to new players as to who Abaddon was. Anet said that the Fractal would’ve been you assuming the role of the gods and banishing Abaddon the ‘first time’ around. The other “coincidence” was the Torment weapon skins just happening to be released on the final Scarlett attack. Of all the things to release, why those? (Not that I’m complaining. ). I’ll still go with his force is still out there, much like a Sauron…waiting.

Actually it was just stand there and dps and occasionally dodge to win…..but with a crystal.

Someone is bitter…

I think it’s a good idea. Not a big fan of rainbows and unicorns, but the idea is pretty solid.

Nice find…but sadly it probably won’t turn into anything.

When the living story allows him to finally cleanse Orr and it gets asura gates and merchants and crafting stations, you’ll all love him.

And you can buy a pass to his asura gates and merchants and crafting stations for only 1000 gems!

That’s not a bad idea. Treahearneland!

Kudzu and Bolt?

The Marionette has been probably the best made open world boss thus far. It is very well received, except from the majority of fails, people are still finding the fight itself really enjoyable, including myself.

However, there is ONE huge flaw in my opinion and it’s the one aspect that is making people ANGRY. The majority of the chain fails come from one ring, most of the fails end with 4 of the 5 rings being successful and spending their remaining time watching a ring fail with no way to help out. It’s infuriating at times and makes you angry at the people for letting you down, and all the other lanes then hate YOUR lane even though the majority of the people did their “jobs.” It really goes against playing as a team.

I think it would have been far better designed, and it could easily be patched to such, but as soon as a ring disables their power regulator, it should create a bridge to their adjacent rings so they can help out a struggling ring. It would be much more of a team effort, and it would result in more successes, while not making it overly easy.

Is it weird that the tower collapsing felt more intense and larger in scale than Zhaitan’s death. There needs to be a revision to that fight, but that’s beating the undead horse.

Hated it before joining TTS as well. It still needs fixed, even though we kill it all the time, it needs to be adjusted so the majority of players can complete it. This can easily be achieved by just giving a larger time completion limit.

I think the drops are fair…but not for the difficulty of the fight. Anet needs to go back to the drawing board on this. As posted most every server has given up on the fight. The only people going back and fighting Teq are those in specific Teq killing guilds. And at that rate, you’d might as well balance the fight so servers can PUG and have a good chance of defeating him and keep him as is for an instanced guild mission for an extra reward for those guilds able to defeat him in this very difficult state. I’m in one of those teq slaying guilds and we’re coordinated but still not always successful. Even with a successful kill it’s still down to the wire and it proves that it IS just too hard for the majority of people that play the game.

If it’s not balanced out to becoming a more easily successful event, it will become forgotten much like the Karka Queen. At this rate, it is on it’s way which is disappointing.

This doesn’t always apply though. Especially during things that are typically done solo such as story missions or most recently SAB. It was a problem in GW1 for over a year but was eventually fixed, I’m hoping they will figure it out soon.

Getting disconnected from the game and after re-logging in being sent into an overflow is my biggest gripe in this game by far. I’m sure everyone has shared in this frustration. It was the biggest problem when fractals were first introduced and THAT was fixed. Now for the global side of things, this needs to be addressed. I don’t get why your character can’t have a placeholder in the world for even 5 minutes for you to be able to log back in and continue on in the same server you left off, whether that was the home server or one of the overflow servers.

It is a strange, some armors have a tail hole WITH a flap that goes over the tail. While others, nothing.

Oh, and to address your other question:

http://dulfy.net/2012/09/16/gw2-jumping-puzzles-guides-guild-wars-2/

I believe Urmaug’s Secret is the easiest due to the shortness of it, the ease of the jumps, but mostly the quick access to it.

(That’s the one by the waterfall in the NE corner of LA)

I said something like this months ago. I would love to see my alts appear somehow in the game like Mercenaries were in GW1. Even to be switched out in a new story mode, ex: if I have an alt in the Vigil, Durmand, Shadows, they could switch out the random member from their respective clan. Would feel overall more immersive.

Dam(*kitten) your eyes…..I’d like to know what the hell that even means!?

My Warrior with Vigil and Norn Cultural armor pieces and Quiver.

(Thanks Warmaster Forgal. :P)

For me, the very first chest I opened I got a Longbow skin. I’ve tried doing at least one run a day, probably about 40-50 chests total and nothing else so far. I was spoiled.

Out of all the classes I find the thief to be the most overall ineffective in PvE. I think of myself as an overall good player, I feel confident and comfortable with all classes. But outside of using stealth skills, especially the usefullness of Shadow Refuge by itself, there’s not much to brag about with the Thief. They are definitely better in a party than by itself. They are the best ressurecting class in the game, and with it’s downed state skills in a party it is usually able to get out of the way and get back up by itself no problem. Outside of a group however, the down state skills are nearly as bad as the engineers. You can’t ‘sneak’ away from ANYTHING. If you drop, expect to die, and that’s unfortunate.

I just came here to ask the exact same thing. It’s good to hear, but would it be possible for someone to back this up with a solid statement/link?

I was thinking today of what I feel would be an interesting and very engaging future personal story twist. I thought it would be a neat idea to be able to play along side your alt characters. If there are events where you are playing alongside members of the vigil, durmand, or shadow, why couldn’t those npc members be some of your random alts who are representing their respective order. I feel it would really expand upon YOUR own world. It would be somewhat reminiscent of the Mercenary Hero addition in GW1. It would also be quite unique to the MMO scene. Please leave any feedback towards the idea.

Throwing my name out there as well. Screwed by the LA chest, but got the HotM chest. LAME!!!!! I’m guessing it was intended to be able to receive both. I am a PvE player, I want my PvE loot.

I logged in at the Heart of the Mists, noticed Tixx was there. Decided to talk with him and receive an unexpected gift from him. I didn’t. Chest worked however. A useless toybag backpack and 6 finishers. Lame, but they were free. However now I’m upset to find out their was a PvE Tixx with MUCH better rewards. I’m a PvE player who only uses the HotM to teleport to LA. There had better be a fix for this. It should be once per account, but one PvE AND one PvP.
