Guild Wars 2

Yeah but it’s the first time they released (afaik, not sure) a combo backpack+glider with a dyeable glider.

Other combos were White Wings, Black Wings, etc., but those gliders can’t change colors.

Right now it’s just weird to have two different colors. I really hope more people would come and raise their opinion on this so maybe Anet can notice this thread.

I really hope a dev or a staff member answers.

I don’t think it would be that hard either to implement. If the backpack is considered as an item, they can just make it consider as an armorn right ? There are already armor pieces that don’t have any dye channels (Radiant, etc.) if needed (I’m thinking about wings).

As for me, I don’t think I’ll ask for a refund, because I really like the glider. But it really was a cheap move from Anet. Selling a combo glider+backpack, while the backpack not being able to be the same color as the glider…

If I could, I would have only bought the glider, the backpack is just somewhere deep in my storage…

With that said, I want to say congrats to whoever did this design, it’s really, really nice. Thank you !

Same for me. I thought that the colors would follow the glider but I was wrong. I posted on Reddit but didn’t get much attention.

I hope a dev sees this thread and can at least give a little reply about this matter.

I can live without it but I also feel disappointed. I’m just using the glider and actually wanted to use the backpack too. But it’s horrible to not have matching colors.

I bought a pair of these things for my wife and I, we both kinda regret it, but it’s done anyways.

Hopefully, there will be a fix. If not adding dye channels to backpack, at least copy the glider’s color, that would be awesome.

Please Anet, notice us !

I don’t know if this would ever be possible to put as a gem store item, but I’d love to see back the Holographic Shattered Dragon Wing Cover.

Or bring back Dragon Bash if it isn’t possible… My Herald needs this soooo bad… Please?

But we also have the tools to prevent them to flee. We have the new F2, GS 3, LB 5, Hammer 3/5, Staff 5, etc. that we can use without the need of having a target and the Spear of Justice will definitely help when we throw our skillshots.

Or is it still not enough?

So if the chain really doesn’t break if a person stealths, then it’s enough of a reason for me to go with the new spec!

Hello guys,

I don’t know if this has already been answered/questioned, but what happens if the ennemy uses stealth after being hit by the spear? Does it break the chain? Or will we still be able to “follow” them?

If the chain reamains still, it could actually be pretty OP.

Hello guys!

So I’ve been doing alts lately and so far I have a Guardian, a Mesmer, an Engi and an Ele. And recently, RNGesus gave me a Sunless Weapon (I still don’t know which weapon I should choose, although I’m kinda leaning towards the Dagger) and I guess it was fate that led me to start a Necro.

So far, I enjoy it A LOT. I don’t care about the actual issues or if it has less to offer to the party than other professions in PvE. But I’m still wondering nonetheless :

1) What is the “to go” weapon if there is?
2) Is D/D any good? The last topic I read was about 2 years old.
3) Should I run a Power or Condition build? Which is better/fun in your opinion?
4) Any advice?

I mostly plan on playing PvP, roam around (solo/duo) in WvW and maybe do some dungeons but that won’t be my main activity on my Necro.

Thanks in advance! I’m in your hands fellow Necromancers.

I agree. This issue with the GWAMM title is kind of a big deal for those who earned it the hard way.

I can only wonder if the pun was intended or not.

Nah, people know me, I’m not the kind of guy who throws out puns whenever it’s possible.

It is bothering the heck out of me that I can’t tell if a guy earned the GWAMM title or not. The sight of the title originally made me nostalgic, envious, proud, and more often than not caused me to offer props to whomever had it. The sight of the title now more often than not causes me disgust even if they earned it.

^This. Exactly my feeling. Fortunately, we still have the title from the 50 HoM points (I assume that real GWAMM also have Champion of Gods).
Unless people also got this one from the bug?

I agree. This issue with the GWAMM title is kind of a big deal for those who earned it the hard way.

I find it really upsetting since it represents 6 years of playing GW1 (for me).

Let’s say you play GW2 for 6 years, earn 60k AP, then a new player starts the game and got those 60k AP because of a bug. Wouldn’t you make a big deal out of it? Or would still say : “meh, they’re just AP, let’s wait and see, it’s not that important”.

That’s how hard it was to get GWAMM. And in an instant, all of that hard work wkittentered.

At this point, I’m not even asking for them to hurry and fix it. I just want AN ANSWER from a dev, that’s the least they SHOULD do.

As someone already stated, isn’t it possible to just rollback HoM related APs/titles (to before patch) and make it so people won’t get achievement chests twice? This way new APs gained from after the patch won’t be lost and I don’t see any problem with this unless it isn’t doable.

But what really happened? People got GWAMM and 39 HoM points after doing a tutorial?
As a legit GWAMM I kinda understand why GW1 veterans are so upset about this. I really like this title but until the bug is fixed I’m displaying Champion of the Gods since even with the bug no one got it right?
I mean, if someone has 30 points, will he get 50 points? Or just 39?

Anyways, I’m hoping and looking forward for a fix on this matter. Although there are more urging issues that are truly gamebreaking.

We have issues about upgrades. Instead of building two upgrades it’s only building one. Moreover, one of our upgrade was also frozen, and it’s kinda bothering.

Hello,

I also had to go through WvW for map completion. I did it with my wife as a duo Guardian and it went smoothly thanks to this tool (just pick your map) :

http://mos.millenium.org/eu/matchups/map/2259/

Since I play with dual screen, I just let the map on one screen and do my usual play (PvP, WB, Dungeons or whatever) on the other.
And once I see that I can get a point, vista, etc. we just switch to WvW and rush it then go back to normal play.

My advice is : don’t bother with it, the more you think about it, the more you’ll get annoyed.

When you meet ennemies while trying to get what you need, just avoid them. Having a guild name such as “I Do Map Completion Dont Kill [PLS]” actually helps sometimes.

Good luck.

Thanks for your answers!

Hobosacks are gonna be removed soon™ …

Is this true?

As for Ranger vs. Engi, what I mostly look at is the fun factor. Being better or not is just for information purposes.

I tried an 80 Ranger on my brother’s account and so far I liked the gameplay that S/D and LB offers. It feels fun, fast paced, but that’s about it, no big surprise.

On the other hand I tried a 20 Engi dual pistol and rifle. I didn’t enjoy the rifle (is it an important weapon?) as it felt kinda slow, but I really did enjoy pistols. I know that there’s more to it and I shouldn’t base my opinion on a lvl 20 char. But so far it has been refreshing (pistol skills were pretty fun)!

As for what I’d like to focus, I’d say mainly open world, exploration, puzzle jumping, some few dungeons and not too much competitive PvP for the meantime (I already have my Mesmer for that).

But what I do enjoy in general is fast paced/active gameplay. I like moving around, feeling quick, etc.
I know Thief could meet my expectations but since my wife already plays one, I can always use hers.

Also, this time, either Ranger or Engi, I want to play a condi based character, I don’t know who’s best at this.

Anyways, I think I’m gonna go with Engi since I always wanted to do a cyber/steampunk-ish looking character!

Hello guys!

So I’ve been struggling for some time now and don’t know if I should either roll an Engineer or a Ranger.

I did some research and most of the posts are old so I can’t rely on those. Some say that Engi is really bad and other say that Ranger is boring as hell.

I currently have a 80 Guardian and Mesmer and so far I really enjoyed them a lot (had A LOT more fun with my Mesmer tho). I also played a Warrior up to lvl 50 but hated it as it was really boring.
I mostly play melee but I’m now looking for some (mid)range gameplay.

I really want to play Engi but from what I understood, kits are mandatory (aren’t they?) and that really bugs me, simply because I don’t like the looks of the backpacks… It may seem stupid to some but I grant a lot of importance to aesthetics…

So is there an efficient way to play open world/dungeons without kits? I may plan to use P/S or P/P.

I know I could just try them myself but I need to wait a week before I can do so (just waiting for a char’s bday gift so I can free some space), so I figured I could just ask in the meantime what the community thinks about nowadays Rangers/Engis (OP? Broken? Average? Fun? Boring?).

Thanks in advance!

I swear, Wall of the Mists looks worse than anything else. It’s horrible :

It’s ******* PINK!

Intentional? Unintentional? Either way it doesn’t change the fact that we are now playing with horrible looking weapons (when stowed). In fact, I just don’t even feel like playing the game atm.

Just have to wait for an answer I guess.

If this is really intended, then better not buy stuff anymore. Who knows, they might just change the Abyssal dye and say us it’s red now. Oh wait, why not change the armor/weapon’s stats? That would be great, either way, nice job on this one.

You just ruined the effort of a lot of players.

Haha, that is the point, it’s almost the same, but slightly different. :p

Well, I mean, you buy something and it isn’t what you have expected for. It’s just outrageous.

Mists Weapons and Foe Fire Weapons had just lost what made them unique.

It really is a shame, hope to have a fix soon! Or at least have a GOOD reason to their removal.

“I really hope this was unintended.”

So do I.

It really feels like having corrupted weapons. Not that I find them horrible but well… If I knew from the beginning that it wouldn’t glow I wouldn’t have crafted those weapons…

It’s like buying an iPhone 5 then you realize it’s just an iPhone 4.

“I feel sort of cheated….”

That is EXACTLY how I feel right now.
