Guild Wars 2

So are there any plans to reenable the HoM in the near future? Just curious since I still haven’t claimed some of the skins and haven’t been able to for a few months now. I hope it didn’t get forgotten with all the HoT and LA stuff taking precedence.

there are none of them because no server has beat teq yet.

Well, I’d love to brag about how far FA got but as every time I try to zone in I get dc’d, that is if I dont get put into overflow.

I too am dissapointed in the lack of moral choices. So, every NPC and Players in Tyria are all good? Dang, what a nice place to live in. I thought there would be pillaging, murder, thieving, kitten , etc.. Especially in a world where “Those with Might are right”.

So now that i’ve thrown in my 2 cents on that topic. On a related matter. What is the point of the Choices of:
Charm
Dignity
Ferocity

Seems like it just makes your character “Charming” or “Barbaric” or “Militant” etc. Does it actually effect ANYTHING in ANYWAY?

it was an unfinished idea that made it into the game. it was actually supposed to affect your interactions and choices with npcs but they didnt implement it the way they had originally planned. Its pretty much just there for show.

VitalSuit.1980:

I don’t think I ever found Zojja inside Rata Sum except for the personal story.

shes in the snaff memorial lab somewhere.

Dear Scarlet,

It has come to my attention that you are the one I should contact regarding flying ships. You see I am a Canthan in body, mind and soul. As such it would mean a great deal to me if you would be so kind as to allow me to hitch a ride on one of your aetherblade ships to the great land that is Cantha. One can assume that such a request requires a significant payment, as such I am prepared to offer you not only Queen Jennah’s head but also the head of Ellen Kiel; who thwarted your plans to insert one of your own into the Captains Council. I expect a favorable response.

Sincerely yours, Akechi

~P.S. I may throw in Logan Thackeray’s head as well depending on how quickly you get me to Cantha.

She gives a nice speech and then they make a movie about how she overcame her stutter.

Pretty sure they’re going to give the presents for characters that reach one year. the mini jennah will probably be account bound like the boost and the xp scrolls.

Ketto.6508:

The thing that makes the least sense about this to me is that minipets in GW1 were pretty much only obtainable FROM birthday presents. In GW2, minipets drop like candy and they’re all really just uninteresting, comparatively. I don’t bother using them because none of them really feel rare.

It doesn’t help that you can “deposit all collectibles” and just forget they’re there. But yea I never use minis anymore, sold all the ones I could and just let everything else sit in storage, none of them really catch my attention or make it worth depositing each collectible individually (admittedly this could be solved with an invis bag).

What she should reveal is that the Tengu have opened their borders and now we can all play as them.

Let me start out by saying for those complaining about “Having” to care about some human political figure, no one ever says you “have” to do anything. If you don’t like it find something else to do. Why not just be glad that this one isn’t taking place in LA for the umpteenth time. Stop kittening just to kitten is the point I am trying to convey.

They should all be voiced by Miku.

Problem Solved.

Ram Banson.4081:

So probably there will be a bigger false flag “Event”, this Event will create a national “crisis”

like a “Battle of Divinity’s Reach”?

I voted for evon for the same reason i went with grenth in gw1, grey is much more interesting than white.

i just miss the fountain. first its destroyed, then its rebuilt, now its replaced. Bring back the Fountain >.<

haven’t experienced this personally but it happens and not often enough to throw the economy out of whack so i doubt they really care.

Amanda Whitemoon.6173:

i think the story of the next 5 months will get interesting:P

dont forget to leave space for halloween and wintersday those are both month long events on their own. so really we have this months queens jubilee, next months whatever, halloween, maybe a continuation in november, before wintersday taking up all of december and part of january. with all these interruptions A-net really doesnt have much time to build a cohesive story.

The queen will reveal that there is no cake.

SlothBear.9846:

Agreed. Should be a jamboree instead.

will there be bears that sing?

ColinJohanson.2394:

Yes, they will also drop them in WvW.

And legendary mobs will indeed also get champion loot rewards.

so what about the champions tied to meta events, like the shaman at the maw. you already get similar rewards to the world bosses but he’s only champ level.

Theo Ashford was a brand new never before seen member of the captains council afaik. It would be too much work to deal with killing jennah off to be worth it.

Levetty.1279:

Me too.

My Mesmer still can’t wear town clothes to show off her noble upbringing.

ooooo town clothes for each background would be really awesome. Take note A-net this is what we need.

we can dream can’t we. . .

what weapon is that that the guy is holding? the one that looks metal and is in the back. I don’t recognize it.

Looking at this robots artificial body features, I’d say it’s a woman, not a ‘guy’.

Why did they take the high road on the female charr and make them look almost identical to males but give sylvari and that robot boobs? I know the sylvari were explained as the tree making them in the image of humans, but the robot is confusing.

….how is it confusing? It’s not like robots evolved from sprockets.

Lonely inventor is lonely.

+1 my good sir.

I’m always up for more character creation options. Always.

Electro.4173

If I were to hazard a guess, I would say they’re probably rigging the wallet to use the current Bank assets. So the Bank itself will no longer be able to exist, because the Bank is basically going to be turned into the Wallet and made to automatically receive and store all gold from the account.

They can’t keep the Bank and add completely new assets to the game for the Wallet because they don’t want to tamper with the core of the game and risk causing major issues.

Don’t know how accurate my assumptions are. Probably not very, given my lack of programming experience. But the main point being if they say they can’t do it, then there’s surely a reason for it.

Well im not really a programmer either but that would be my guess for why they can’t have both.

I don’t see why gold has to be included in this wallet update, it wouldn’t(theoretically) be hard to omit the gold portion of the wallet but keep the karma, laurels, gems, tokens, etc etc part of the wallet the same. It just has an air of “we’ve gotten this far it’s too much of a hassle to try a rework” about it.

Imo they should announce major changes before they’re a week out of implementing them to get a solid feedback of the concerns raised and have plenty of time to do a rework before it hits the servers.

I love how 1 screen of 1 skin among the “many” others that they’re hiding until release(except the rapier thats confirmed^.^) causes so much panic. “Oh dear, they’re adding a 1h sword with a similar outline to the fellblade and adding pink runes, my world has ended.” Makes me wonder what doesn’t stir up the hornets nest with you guys.

Chrisplosion.3756:

The reasons you bought it are irrelevant, it still will function as it should so there is no reason to refund laurels.

Yea that about sums up my stance on this argument.

I think you’re both right.

My bet is on an assassination attempt on the queen (not a success of course, she’s necessary for the story) hope I’m wrong but I’m calling it.

Probably a 0% chance of any update to the HoM rewards. I’m not against you on this but I highly doubt any of the HoM rewards will ever be updated unless there is some animation or effect that gets glitched.

There’s a screen of it on the release page (see attachment). I for one was hoping to see the “arts” (read Canthan) district make a return because I know exactly where I’d spend most of my time. This game lacks Canthan influence and as the oldest known human empire I find it disappointing from a lore perspective. I hope to see Cantha in the future (maybe not the near future I’ll concede) and if I dont it’s certaintly a game-breaker for me.

I’m looking forward to this patch more than any before it, the wallet is a great idea that I’m glad to see implemented. I am however of the personal storage camp as none of my characters ever carry more than 20s at any given moment (enough for armor repairs and wp’s)If I’m going to buy something I go to a city withdraw my desired amount and make the purchase. I don’t think of it as inconvenient, rather it is a way for me to save up my money sight unseen.

Anet has a tendency to take things a step too far and the wallet is a prime example of this. I doubt there is anything in the code of the wallet that conflicts with that of the personal bank so I see no reason why they can’t simply leave the personal storage alone and add the wallet. I’m fine with all the cash im holding being shared between my characters, in fact that makes it easier to manage, I’ll admit that. I do however strongly believe removing cash storage from the bank is unnecessary and will alienate players for whatever their personal reason for wanting cash storage is.

All said all through, I have a few personal guilds for bank space and rp that will soon hold the sum total of my savings lest they decide to reverse their decision on this one lousy feature they want to implement with the wallet. It is by no means a game-breaker to me like it is to some but that’s likely only due to the fact that I already have personal guilds. It does suck to be driven into a corner like this with only 1 option to safely store your savings away from your characters.

tl;dr version: Love the wallet as well as many of the features being added with the QJ patch, sucks to lose the ability to store my money in the bank away from my characters, but since I’ve got guilds for storage and rp already it won’t affect me as much as some others.

Akechi Hotaru.7129:

Nothing about the gold find infusion will change it will just be harder to exploit it.

I see where you are coming from now, and there is no reasoning with people like you. If you see using the gilded infusion to run dungeons as an exploit then this whole conversation is a moot point.

Yes those of us that use logic can be real motherkitteners to refute can’t we.

Well i watched an interview with Colin before the release of the politics LS step and he said a new prof is basically out of consideration but new weps are quite likely. I’d love for my war to run around with a spear and a tower shield 0.o it would be soooooooooo(abv.) awesome

I do not have a double standard, as IDS was never reserved for a HoM only skin.

Also if you pay attention, Breath of Jormag and FDS are not the same skin. The FDS has a larger flame affect and is a larger sword overall than the Breath of Jormag.

you really are missing the point and are using a double standard.

1. FDS was a HoM exclusive, IDS is a reskin. why is that ok but a reskinned, resized fellblade(that isn’t even a gs) with different effects not ok? It’s the exact same as the FDS/IDS situation: reskinned, different effects, and apparently slightly resized according to you.

2. They aren’t making the fellblade accessible to all they’re adding a different fellblade shaped 1h sword. If they made the HoM rewards accessible to all I’d be right there with ya but they aren’t.

3. No one said IDS was a HoM reserved skin in the first place.

Rasputin.7809

If you bought an unlimited use chop-it-all axe and they later changed it to not work all the time on all trees you would feel slighted. The item still functions, you have gotten plenty of use out of it, but the usefullness has changed.

The rest of it I can overlook but I think this is the empitome of your flawed logic. Yes the chop-it-all axe may still function but they would have changed its basic function that is: it acts as a permanent ori axe. Ori axes work on all trees all of the time(barring the occasional glitch). Therefore if they changed the perma tools to only work some of the time they would change its function not reduce an exploit. Nothing about the gold find infusion will change it will just be harder to exploit it.

I was gonna let it slide but to be honest your argument as a whole is flawed. The store asking for the dvd back doesn’t fit your argument either. If anything a better analogy would be the store asking to exchange the dvd for a copy with piracy protection to reduce people exploiting it. The film will still be the same, all the features will still be there but you wont be able to exploit it for easy money.

Those weapons are part of the new champion loot drops which include a bunch of new skins like the one in the picture. Also the rapier.

The Sovereign set is completely different, and available from the vendors inside the Crown Pavilion.

Hey Anthony, pitch the idea of Warriors getting pistols! with the rapier being a potential drop, I wanna be an Effin pirate! YARRR

Then make a thief like you’re supposed to.

Anyway, disappointed that the rapier is going to be released in this manner. Prices on the trading post are bound to be absurd, 200+ gold if not higher. I wish it had been another 800 gem BL store skin.

initially yes, but the champion loot drops are a perma thing not a ls limited thing so the prices will go down though it’ll probably still be quite expensive. I’m just glad they heard my pleas(and those of all the others) for a rapier.

This does raise the question now of what the sovereign weps will look like since the 1h runic fellblade isn’t a sovereign skin.

You good sir just made my day, no, you’ve just made my week.

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

Initially I wasn’t thrilled about the idea of another festival, but our team took that as a challenge to implement a festival that plays much differently than the others. I think we accomplished that.

i just hope this one doesnt have something go horribly wrong where we have to fix everything like we’ve had to do in all the previous ones.

i hope for once the fest goes off without a hitch, baasically everything has had something go horribly wrong where we have to fix it so everything goes back to normal so the next phase can start. Its a shampoo bottle philosophy.

LkPr.5014:

what if it is a portal to your personal space? With the addition of new personal space (or “home”) items it would make sense… and be much more convenient

that would make sense, i vote for this option. The devs are trying to get us to use the home instances more anyways so a free (after initial investment) portal to it would be a good incentive to visit more often.

edit: it appears a dev posted its true nature on another thread making my assumption invalid. oh well was a nice pipe dream while it lasted.

i doubt its gonna be like mesmer portals, my money is on it working like an asura gate directly to LA(or DR since thats where this living story segment is focused) from anywhere in the world. probably gonna be nearly impossible to get though since that would be a little OP.

So my question is with the solo queue will it be random opponents or can you set up matches with your friends to do 1v1? The release page doesn’t explain much.

maplemist.5897:

How about those tokens from Super Adventure Box? I stockpiled some Baubles, Bauble Bubbles and Continue Coins in my bank.

I would like that question answered as well, i didnt “stockpile” them but they’re taking up space that i would like to use for something else.

in the pic (and the larger one on the release page now) you can see that they are in a gladiatorial arena so im not sure about your original theory but who knows, with anet it could be anything

Furesy.6935:

New bodyguard Golems go haywire and attack the Queen, Logan runs off which leaves you to do the protecting. In the end it all turned out to be an elaborate plan of Scarlet (who is plotting together with the ministry) to assassinate the Queen.

sounds like a safe bet to me

well, there goes my hopes of ever getting a slim sword, ya know like a rapier -.-

I’m not looking forward to the time-gated tier 7 mats simply because Anet wont change their formula and it will take 30 days of playing specific content to make a set of armor the celestial is a good indicator of how it will go with the ascended armor.

@kilandros you probably should have realized you didnt like norn movement long before you got the 2 legendaries. imho it wouldnt have hurt to try all the races in the first week to get a feel for what you would like to put the most time into.

Dont forget they have the endless hair stylist contract now.
