Guild Wars 2

because the joining of different instances of the same map is still very lackluster in GW2, how would it be if they introduce at least a “global” or “yell” chat (maybe in orange) for all instances of the same map that are currently active? so organization of meta and boss events could be a little bit easier (and map chat would be more alive too). they already have a system for that with the /t chat in wvw and the guild chat.

example: map A has 2 coms and squads at gerent but need two more, so they ask in “global”: need two more squads for lane x and y IP: 61.

yes, I know that is practically lfg, but with a global chat we could reach everybody (that has the map chat open) on the same map on all IPs at the same time and not only the guys who maybe look at the lfg at that time.

It is more simple and faster in my opinion.

suggestion for a global chat for all instances of the same map:

that doesnt mean that everyone was capable to achieve it in the last seasons. when you cant reach that level, you simply cant. same as this season. you want the AP? try to improve yourself in pvp and get into the top 250. that is also achievable for EVERYONE. simple is that.

You missed the part where only the top player would be able to get the top 6 AP, so that’s not achievable by everyone, but just by ONE person and no amount of get good can help with it. AP for ONE person is wrong

and you dont get, that it is not set in stone who will be the #1 in the end. look at the actual board. i bet helseth thinks he deserves to be #1 because he’s the “god of pvp”. but know what? he’s not atm.

and btw: its not ONE player, it’s TWO in the end. one for EU. one for NA.

After an internal review, we’ve decided that awarding points for achievements that are this exclusive goes against the intent and spirit of our achievement system. We’ll be removing the points on these in a future release.

I am incredibly disappointed with that. You’ve basically told players that getting into the top 250 is not an achievement worthy of any points. I’m saddened it seems you wont be removing the points from previous Legendary titles to align with this new decision.

The Achievement system should be to display what people achieve in game, I’d say top 250 is a great one.

It’s not the same, as many tried to explain several times.
Everyone could get those points on the previous seasons, EVERYONE.
On this season, ONLY 250 people could, and the 251th and top wouldn’t get anything.

I know many ppl wanted a borderless world without zones in GW2. but one of the advantages of zones is, that you can practically do whatever you want with one zone and left the rest of the world untouched.

so, why not bring back the vanquisher title for GW2?

my suggestion:

- let a group at every entrance of a zone choose if they just want to explore the area (normal mode) or vanquish the area (hard mode). balance should be for a 5 man group.

- no map completion in vanquish mode (only waypoints/savepoints would be the zone entrances)

- no active events and no respawns on the map (the whole idea stands or falls with this, but I dont know how difficult that would be to implement. but as I said above, you can change the parameters for each map.)

- all enemies are level 84-85 (just a suggestion. maby that is to high in the long run.)

- only place some “event-champs” permanently on the map (as example think of the toxic spider or the alchemist in kessex hills). or maybe 4-5 random champs (that have a connection to the map) could spawn, after your group has killed every other normal mob on the map.

- give those champs a few new mechanics (not something crazy, but just more than to dps them down.)

- add a weekly leaderboard to it. (who was the fastest?) make 2 categories: one for pugs, one for GUILDS.

- ofc there would also be the possibilty for a ton of achievements and collections.

rewards:

- every region (kryta, ascalon, shiverpeaks, maguuma) becomes their own set of armors and weapons (only skins) + minis/tonics/auras/gliders/etc. that you can buy from a vendor at the zone portals on every (vanquish-) map.

- every week you get a max. amount of vanquish-tokens for each map and region (kryta vanquish-tokens, ascalon vanquish-tokens, etc.) . tokens also have a chance to drop from normal mobs and a higher chance to drop from champs.

- every reward the vendor has on its list, is also a possible drop from a champ.

- placement on the leaderboards should also give some region specific tokens

- after the group has succesfully vanquished a map, every player gets ascended tokens that are a currency for EVERY map/region and you can buy ascended gear with it. (maybe that is also a possibilty to introduce the legendary armor outside of raids)

thats my suggestion. what do you think?

We are based on [Gandara/EU] and we just conquered our GH (Lost Precipice).
When you just want a cool place to hang out or help us to upgrade it, whisper me!
No commitments!

aaaaaaand you haven’t!

“thx” to all the entitled whiners for diluting another good system! -.-

after the decision to delete the Itzel IV mastery for the story progression (and I understand that decision, but personally I don’t agree with it just 2 days after release!), pls don’t town the HP needed for the elite specs, and the xp needed for the rest of the masteries down (the tyria masteries are already on farm status thx to CoF 1).

also pls keep the difficulty of the enemys. it’s great to have challenge in the open world! just as the HP challenges! now grouping in the open world has a purpose and a daily hero challenge run with friends is something i’m looking for in the future!

when you do it, you only will dilute your new features and in a few weeks most ppl will again have “nothing to do” and complain about it.

listen to the other (more silent, because they play and have fun) half of the community as well! we are out there and having fun with the game as it is!

don’t change anything! thx!

As the Title says, please bring back the mob difficulty from BW1 and 2. It is WAY to easy now and not even challenging in the slightest. Don’t make the same mistake that you did with Vanilla GW2.
Also bring back the Mordrem Snipers in the story and the general Mob density in the open world. It just feels not dangerously to wander through the jungle anymore and it should be imo.

thx for reading!

P.s.: I have a feeling this topic will be… censored, aka Deleted soon…
Even if it’s a constructive conversation topic.

that’s because it’s not constructive critic.

are ppl from the first beta automatically in the second, or not? thx for the answer.

it would be nice when their storyline has a little bit more hostillity against them.

Lazaar.9123:

Do you think we will be able to master the ability of swinging our swords? Maybe Colin will be our mentor.

only available for rangers’ sword autoattack though.

MrTJpwnz.4710:

I am not really a fan of a account wide mastery system at all. They said they wanted that we are able to level our characters after getting to the max level right? So why then make a account wide mastery system? I mean it makes no sense that if I earned 100 points on my war, my new necromancer can use those 100 points instantly. So a character that never has been in the jungle can already be a master in surviving there.

If they are going to implement this account wide mastery system then I prefer the way you described (same for all the characters).

dont get me wrong though! i WANT the points accountwide, but i don’t want that the abilitys i choose for one char are automatically on all my other chars too.

that eliminates the individuality of each of my chars imo.

The most important message we want to get across is you do it once, and when you’ve earned a mastery point you’ve got it for every character, and you’ve earned those abilities for every character. You don’t have to go back and grind on every one of your characters to get all this.

PCG: Oh, so an ability you purchase for one character is applied to all of them?

Colin: That is currently the plan, yes.

PLS, pls,pls reconsider that. the accountwide acquisition of the points is good, BUT i should be able to select the abilitys for every char separately. in my opinion, it would give everyone of my chars more depth and individuality.
this way i can have one “master in languages”, one “master in gliding” or one master in whatever you guys have in mind.
like the dif. abilitys i have on seperate chars in wvw. (ram-mastery, more supply, etc.)

hopefully your design for this feature is not final yet and you can change it. i’m rly looking forward to HoT and i’m very excited about it!

i rly dont like that you have to WIN with e.g. mesmer today. it is not my main pvp-class and because i’m not familiar with it, i contribute absolute nothing to my team. that makes it harder for all and is less fun. as for me just participate in 1-3 pvp matches with class x should be enough.

ok. bumping this thread up again, because we got no hints and no teaser picture in the last POI episode.

on the 16th “only” wintersday? yes or no?

Thaddeus.4891:

@ Belenwyn. Are you sure? Where did you got this information?

that is why i asked. it would sound right, but they said they wouldn’t mix festival- and LS-patches anymore.

Will Episode 8 released together with the wintersday-patch on 16th?

Colin, just clear up one thing – There is 0% chance EU/NA GW2 gets a VIP system?

We’re absolutely not bringing the China VIP system to NA/EU, correct.

hi colin!
just to be clear, becuase it came up in our discussion: you’re not bringing the chinese VIP to NA/EU. but will you make instead a new one just for NA/EU?

thx in advance for your answer!

the option is directly in your chat window. where the little cog is…

no, but as u know, the majority of the players dont read forums/update notes. thats the only concern i have.
i havent said anything about that anyone is to lazy to disable this option…

as the title says, pls change this adjustment, so everyone has to enable it by himself! many, many players will not recognize that this option is automatically activated and won’t see much of the chat anymore… (but maybe you just wanted that they think the “megaserver-problem” is solved… )

use the aoe-looting? i have no problems to get all the bags with it…

storiessave.3807:

Wait, so we’re not going to be able to know when temple events are up when this gets to Orr? The blog says temple events aren’t being synchronized…so they’re going to be random on every map and thus impossible to get timers for?

With the fact that a whopping one waypoint in every Orr zone will be unlocked (since you’re locking all possible contested WPs until you load into the map), this is going to be extremely inefficient, having to constantly run around to see if any of the meta events for the temples are up.

Who thought this was a brilliant idea, again?

gosh ppl…start reading the complete text:

Temples of Orr—The cross-map mechanics of these temples will be disabled. Instead, god statues will be active only when the nearest temple is contested.

so, you port to an orr-map and then you just have to look if one of this little yellow statues on the map is active…

Soooo, buy 50€ worth of gems (~3x monthly subscriptions in other games) and get a mini?

How about NO.

how about u buy 4000 Gems, then buy things with it in the gem shop and get a quaggan back item AND a mini mr. sparkles on top?

it’s NOT 4000 gems only for the mini…

Title says it all.

personally i wouldn’t like that, because, you know, it’s christmas eve. and i think anet employees should be with their families.

so i played a couple of mini-games today and i noticed, that i got several PvP-Exp from it. i think this is new, isnt it? has a-net changed that, because of the nerf in sPvP?

There was a mention in the blog post which described the future plans for 2013, in which legendary accesories/trinkets will be appearing this year… will they still make the 2013 mark?

I really don’t see the point of legendary trinkets. They don’t have any visible graphics. Plus, legendaries have the same stats as the highest tier, which is ascended and we already have ascended trinkets.

they said, we’ll be able to change the stats on our legendary weapons every time we want in the future. so, when this system will also be implemented on the the legendary armors/trinkets it would be awesome and a really good reason to get them!

5. is the exp scroll an “gain 20 levels” or an “get from lvl 0-20” scroll?
6. is the 24h booster an item, that we can use any time? or will it be a buff that we only get on our birthday?

thx

Greedy as hell, dudes.
Anet gives ability to choose next content and your answer is “SHUT UP WE WANT BOTH GIVE US BOTH WE DON’T WANT TO CHOOSE WE WANT EVERYTHING”

I think it’s just an allusion to what collin said in the last interviews about that when we protesting ingame, we maybe would get both fractals…. so, calm down.

I would like to see my chars with equipped weapons and backpieces in the char selection screen + the options to wield and stowe them + the animation of wielded weapons when the chars stands still in the game. and, in general, a better selection screen! your opinion?

“Once you complete the meta achievement for this release, your home instance will have a daily resource node, allowing you to harvest Quartz at your leisure .”

so i have no chance to gather the new quartz ever again? because i have from monday on no i-net connection for ca. 1 month, so i can’t complete this new achievement…

or will this quartz available in other zones too?

thx for answers

:P yeah, we are more a casual WvW-guild, but we have numbers!^^

we [TAC] had some good fights against ADAC, CE, nOrD and AoA on FSP BL yesterday. Thanks for that! was fun!
