Good lord, I just noticed this first thing when I logged in…it’s a horrible undocumented change. No, it will not be a good thing in the long run for everyone. Make it optional, good grief.
You don’t speak for everyone. I like the separation. It’s certainly not a bug, but it might have been either oversight that there’s no option to change it back, or a limitation.
did you even read anything about the new elite spec stuff?
400 points required, and hero point challenges in HoT maps give 10 hero points, where everywhere else in Tyria they give 1.
also your suggestion makes no sense, you’re basically saying “I don’t care about the new content, so let me play the new content.”
Honestly I’m not sure why they exist in the first place. Outside of a seasonal reward track in pvp, it’s not possible to get exotic aquabreathers or higher, and the stat choices for them are so laughably small. With fractals going up to 100, if there’s the underwater fractal, you’ll be short of an agony slot because ascended aquabreathers don’t exist, and that might make the fractal incredibly hard to do.
On top of those few things, it’s pretty annoying to have to get a 7th rune for your armor set just so that 6th rune effect is active underwater.
I’d say either remove aquabreathers, or make craftable ascended ones.
“Al Míraj” I wanted to have the proper spacing for the Arabic pronunciation, but single quotes aren’t allowed in character names. It would be “Al Mi’raj”.
It’s the name of a rabbit from an old Arabic legend, that’s all cute and cuddly at a glance but will right kitten your kitten up if you try messing with it. I’m very happy about the name, I think it’s super fitting for the class. Deceiving, manipulative.
every suggestion made by OP has been decided by the majority of the community that they’re unwelcome suggestions and tons of players would probably quit if they came around
moderators pls close thread, im sick of hearing the same suggestions every time I visit the forums
I find it distasteful in the extreme, but arena.net hasn’t declared it verboten, so this is what we get. Personally, I wish they’d make an official statement forbidding it, an then actively ban anyone who tried to do it. Of course, the kind of people who buy and sell these services are hugely offended about anyone who feels this way. They always immediately start screaming “How are they hurting you?” “shouldn’t they be paid for their skill?” etc. I could care less about their arguments though, it’s just tacky and sad, exploitative on the sellers side and pathetic on the buyers. At the very least if Anet banned it they’d have to make shady backroom deals on 3rd party forums and such, and you wouldn’t see it in the LFG tool anymore, and that would be much better. They could hang out in the dark alleys of the internet making shady, shameful deals all they want, always fearful that their dirty secret would come out and their account would be properly banned.
Because that’s totally not an extremist’s opinion. “Don’t care about any of your reasons, what you do is kittening distasteful and you’re an awful person for doing it and you should be banned” like wat, you backed up that claim with regurgitated nonsense that can’t coherently make for an argument in any way
Many times now in heart of the mists, there’ll be a random ranger who puts down a healing spring. For a while I didn’t know what was making the noise, but healing spring (the trap portion) seems to make a really annoying, almost cricket-like sound and it’s so annoying. If anybody else hears it and is as annoyed by it as I am, please help let anet know.
It must be something else, check your computer for viruses, because gw2 is something like 25 gb to download, and it requires so little bandwidth to play. While using skills and the sort, you’re maybe using a maximum of like 80kbps down and like 20kbps up, it’s really not much at all.
Answer to OP’s question: anet doesn’t want you to change these item between Charakter. Anet wants you to buy more for $. Solution for all your problems: buy more of these items. For example:
I currently own 30 Charakter and I bought the infinite harevsting tools for each Charakter which cost me only around 70.000 gems, (not 90.000, because of special offers). All problems are solved no, never need to put them into bank again!
Edit: of course the same about infinite salvage kits or airship passes. Even if you like some play items like carpet or flute, just buy multiple for each char! It’s really easy, just spend some $ or € or a little bit ingame gold!
Anet profits, you profit, everyone profits!
You spent nearly $1,000 on gems for infinite harvesting tools on all your characters..? Christ dude, that’s worth as much as my gaming rig.
the forum blanks out bad language with the word kitten, so I don’t know the exact term you used and neither do I care, cause you should refrain from such words in the first place
that’s like, your opinion, man
personally I wish there was an option to turn the filter off but whatever. filter get’s really annoying with combinations of words like “hasn’t it” or “his hit” because one is (remove the x) “hasn’t x it” and the other is “his x hit”, both of which without spaces contain “such words, much vulgar, wow”
It would be cool yes, but entirely unfeasable with the way personal stories work, so no, it likely won’t ever happen. Sadly you’ll either have to buy a new character slot or re-roll.
As has already been stated, there’s ways to circumvent troll portals. Stop being a kittening zombie mindlessly spamming f everywhere to get your phr33 p1xel5, have some self awareness and wait for a portal to disappear or move to a different spot where you’re not underneath the portal and then press f, or use your mouse instead.
I think portal jokes are hilarious, and I’ve fallen prey of many of them, as well as being the predator. For the Megadestroyer, if you die in the lava then just WP back to the volcano, the WP is uncontested after you kill the world boss and it’s really not a big deal. Lighten up, learn to take a joke.
What about rapid fire on ranger? Would you say dodging rapid fire isn’t a counter? Or blocking it? Or moving behind the ranger? Or reflecting it? Rapid fire, unlike UA, actually tracks targets through stealth. If blocks, evades, and invulns aren’t viable choices to counter something, then what the kitten is?
You mention rapidfire, list all the counters that work, generalize to “something” and then apply to UA. Seriously?
No there is a lot counterplay
[…]
using aoe on yourself when it ends
That is the most hilarious one so far.
lmfaooooo, so you say that blocking UA isn’t a counter, but blocking rapid fire is a counter?
What the kitten are you even trying to argue? Your ideas are literally so ridiculous I can’t even understand an ounce of the logic that’s going in them
@cursE,
What’s the reason for saying every counter people are giving you for this skill is useless?

On this logic alone, there’s no counter for anything in PvP.
I think weapon skills should still use energy, but just less of it. As previously mentioned, the costs are unbalanced among different weapon sets, as staff has ridiculously high costs whereas hammer has very little.
Just seems like it’d be a nice QoL change for mesmers. It’d do the same deal with leaving a clone at your last position if you have a target, and work as a shorter range version of Infiltrator’s arrow on thief.
It’s pretty annoying having to quickly use about face two times to cover some distance on the class, and when doing it fast enough, as about face isn’t instant, it can quite easily mess up the direction you were walking in, making you have to reorient the camera.
I don’t agree with this. It’s a celebration of your character’s birthday, not a yearly “thanks for buying this character slot”.
Realistically, your character’s birthday isn’t the same day you created it. Otherwise we’d start with little baby characters and all our starting tutorials would be in hospitals as we cry and have our umbilical cords cut off.
With the core game going F2P now, I would really love to see a method of filtering messages out so you never see them in the first place. Removing the barrier to entry means that PvP will very likely become a lot more toxic from teammates.
I have seen them randomly pop up for a split second then disappear quickly the past week or so. Likely just left over code from last year not taken out or something….
This is likely an ele using maize balm and casting arcane wave the second they throw the bottle to instantly kill the candy corn elementals so randoms don’t have a chance of stealing them.
So, essentially what you are asking for is a way to have options like “Receive Whispers”:
From All
From Friends and Guild Members
From Friends
None
This seems like a reasonable feature request.
If Player A is on Player B’s friends list, but Player B isn’t on Player A’s friends list, how does that interaction work out?
Would this also extend out to things like mail?
(Please note this does not mean that this will happen, won’t happen, is planned to happen, and or not planned to happen)
These all sound like they’d be great additions. But there’s also one other thing that would take it a step further to really making the chat system feel good, and that would be filtering messages based on the text within them. I’m not sure how it would work out, but essentially, there’d be a list or something you can open in-game and add lines of text to it that would remove any message from a player that contains the blacklisted text.
For example, I add “best deal on gold” to the blacklist, then any messages that have those words in that order on it would automatically be removed from my chatbox, before I even see them. This would also make it less draining playing the game from the occasional player shouting incessantly about how bad the game is, balance sucking, etc etc, I just don’t want to see those messages, they promote nothing but negativity and it puts me in a negative mood, even if I do just block the person and forget they exist, because blocking somebody doesn’t let you un-see the things they said in the first place that led you to blocking them.
And then you would get
Good deals on gold
Gold cheep
B3st deal on gold
And so on.
Then add several different filters? People can’t see what your filters are, so bots can’t circumvent their messages being filtered. Block the name of the website that’s being advertised? What’s the bot going to do, replace letters in the name of the website with numbers? Then tell you to replace those numbers in the url with letters?
Maybe there could be different functions for the blacklist, like (Filter message if contains 3 or more words in no particular order, not case-sensitive: gold, cheap, xxx.xxx.com) and the list goes on. It’s shouldn’t be difficult to add a filter, it should be as simple as pressing a button on the contact screen, adding a line to a list, and boom, all those messages that fall under that blacklist are gone.

$60 on the launch of the game, and I think I’ve spent about $40 on gems. Most of the time I just to gold→gems transactions, it’s not like gold is hard to obtain.
I like the changes. kitten no do I want Anet to revert them. Also, think from it as a standpoint of the developers. They worked their kitten off to bring us this massive balance patch, they gave us SO much information months before it even came out, they took player feedback about the changes, and are working their kitten off post-release to fix the plethora of bugs employed in the patch, and you’re telling them to just.. Go back? Revert the changes? After all their work? Hell no.
Ferocious Winds, Adept major air trait for elementalist, always gives 70 ferocity no matter your precision. My precision is at 2196 and as such, I should be getting about 150 ferocity from the trait, but the hero panel only shows an increase of 70 ferocity when I have it slotted.
I imagine it’ll look something like http://dulfy.net/gw2traits#build=AgcBvAJkBaQ~
you’ve got the best total flat damage increase rates, you might be taking dagger training over mug, idk honestly, but it seems the best set-up for fast damage and quick nukes on bosses in pve. For pvp, meta will probably continue to be D/P but I’m sure there will be a lot larger variance in traits people can use. I’d imagine critical strikes being included in most of them, but we’ll see.
Farming 291 eyes yourself without using the TP can easily take 100k hours.
333 hours per eye farmed?
Yeah just finished checking your math, that seems like a reasonable rate.
I mean at that rate I could have all the items that use giant eyes in 11 years.
Just a small QoL suggestion that would make blocking gold sellers and whatever else a much easier process.
Basically, you have a blacklist where you can put any string of characters, and any messages containing those strings of characters are not shown. It won’t block the person saying the message, but for things like gold sellers, blacklisting a domain name would be really convenient. Oh, also you could blacklist those negative comments like “This kitten game so bad, anet did a bad job y m i even playing,” so you never have to see them again.
So, you make a new character, you level it to 80, so far you’ve enjoyed it and you think it’ll become your new main. You purchase some extra bag slots for it for some convenience, then a few weeks later you decide you don’t really want to main that class. RIP gems spent on bag slots, as they won’t get use sitting on a now-alt you don’t play too often.
What this suggestion proposes is that extra bag slots act as a sort of currency. You can remove the extra bag slots from characters, and it’ll be given back either as something like a consumable, or perhaps a new currency in the wallet, that can then be used on a character who doesn’t have the maximum 8 bag slots to get an extra bag slot. I think a currency in the wallet would be the better one to roll with, as deleting a character and forgetting it had an extra bag slot on it would just automatically send it to the wallet, so you wouldn’t have to worry about gems being lost.
Total: 4173 hours
Ele: 1736
Thief: 759
Mesmer: 580
Engi: 332
Warrior: 288
Ranger: 169
Guard: 141
Necro: 0 lol, I don’t even have one
in general I don’t really like the professions that have a low APM, my first 80 and current main is ele and I get bored on other classes when all you do is mash 1 and sometimes 2 or 4
Condition guardian is bad, don’t ever play one, not even for the lulz. Pretty much the only thing you’ll be able to apply would be burning.
Focus on what you like, guardian is a class that has a lot of defensive utilities as well as plenty of blinds to work with as a form of active defense.
Remember that GW2’s combat is dynamic, and is all about your placement and awareness of the situation, use your dodges, use your blinds, use weakness, and you should be alright regardless of what you play
I’m R/G colorblind and don’t have too many issues with this game’s color schemes, but I definitely agree with everything you’ve said here. At the very least, something needs to be done about it. over 2 years in and anet has ignored a crowd, albeit a small one, that just wants to enjoy their game and deserves to enjoy it.
Why would Anet do that? That’s 1000 less gems that’ll have to be spent on getting a gathering tool that has more benefits than the rest of them.
I DO think that they should mention on the watchwork pickaxe in the gem store that it has a chance to give additional mats when mined with, so people would be aware of their decisions.
Players should have all the information they need to make an informed decision, and when Anet screws up with a tooltip or something of that matter, that doesn’t inform a player when it should, then that’s what needs to be changed, not anything else.
Ascended items are not necessary in any form whatsoever to participate in this game. If you believe that they do, then oh man you’ve been thinking the wrong thing about this game for a long time.
Anything you can accomplish with (at least armor) can be accomplished without it. People learned to solo Giganticus Lupicus with armor. Then they learned to do it without armor.
Armor isn’t required to play the game, and the stat difference between exotic and ascended is so minimal that you shouldn’t even worry about having ascended as fast as possible. Since ascended stuff was released, the most I’ve ever gotten have been trinkets and weapons, and the most of any armor sets of ascended of the stat I wanted has been 1, solely because I wanted the skins.
Thief and Mesmer dont have mobility skills that requires target,except steal and mesmer short sword skill (which is in this case good,cause we wont be able to fail anymore).Shadowstep does not require target,so range does not matter,seems to me that this changes are good for thiefs/mesmers,dont know why you people complain about.
Perhaps pistol thiefs gonna have some problems,but im d/d so wont affect me.
In PvP, S/D thief is gonna turn to kitten because infiltrator’s strike is basically the getaway card if you get kittened by immobilize. But because you (probably) won’t be able to use the skill anymore if you’re not in 600 range, it’s really going to blow because you probably won’t be able to cast it in a LoS position if some ranger starts going pew pew rapid fire on your kitten , or whatever else you’d need an LoS spot for.
Update: I found another post at http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/36641-gw2-config-settings/ and the answer was that it’s located at “C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Guild Wars 2”
However, on my computer, the local.dat file doesn’t exist in that folder. These are the contents of that folder:
I’m trying the Local.dat file located at “C:\Users\*\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2” but it doesn’t seem to be the right one.
The reason I ask, is because I want to make 2 files of the options being held, that I can switch to and from. I’m using 2 accounts, and while I’m running both of them, the frame-rate and load times get stupendously large unless I’m running the game at practical minimum settings everywhere. I like to fine-tune settings for performance or graphics, and it usually takes me a while. Considering you can’t save presets for graphics, I instead want to just save the options from the file and swap them out when I need to, instead.
Ascended armor is practically worthless to get unless you’re an absolute min/maxer and you HAVE to have that extra.. what? 15 more major stat? 7 more minor?
Unless you’re putting +5 stat infusions on the armor, it’s not really worth going for. Even if you do fractals. I run a 49 pretty much every day and I have 0 need for ascended armor.
Ascended weapons are a different story, they’re still absolutely not needed (unless you’re doing 40+ fotm) but after getting 500 in a craft, the weapons cost far less to make than the armor does.
As for a legendary..? It’s not anywhere near impossible. I got my first legendary about 4 or 5 days ago now. I wasn’t trying since the beginning of the game, either. It took me playing the game but not going hardcore-grindmode except for the last 200g I needed to buy spark (which took me about 3 days to acquire) and in all it took me about 5 months of mediocre farming.
The inflation isn’t pushing progression beyond reach. Legendaries and ascended armor are still very much reachable, and honestly legendaries shouldn’t be classified as progression anyway. They’re skins, essentially. Progression isn’t tied together with how pretty you want to look.
Buy a salvage-o-matic and get used to salvaging.
I would really like to filter out junk items though. I seriously don’t care for 6c of an inventory slot and I’d rather not have junk appear in my inventory at all because I just wind up destroying it anyway.(unless it’s unidentified object which is actually worth something)
I don’t give a rat’s kitten about a dps meter, but I think the actual number or a % hp left on a boss would be glorious for skills like heartseeker or traits that activate when a target is at a certain % hp. It’s pretty annoying when I blow 3 initiative on what I think is 25% hp but really it’s like 28 or 29%.
No. The reason that you can select stats on a legendary weapon is so you don’t have to replace the weapon when you get a new build. However, I could support unlocking Sigils/Runes to swap on any weapon/armor.
You see, I don’t think swapping sigils/runes on ANY weapon/armor would be good for the sigil/rune economy. I think it’s a lot better with legendaries as there’s a minority of players who own a legendary, but if everybody could now completely ignore the sigil/rune market then those items would become completely worthless. At least if the feature is only available on legendaries (Or available as a legendary sigil that you crafted, I like that idea a lot) then the sigil/rune market wouldn’t crash and burn
So I just made my first legendary, Incinerator, and I love it. Changeable stats wherever I want so long as I’m out of combat, it looks super cool, has a sweet footfall effect, even emits a bit of ambient light.
All in all I’m happy with it and I don’t expect anything more from a legendary.
However, I thought to myself that there could be a really neat additional feature with legendaries: the ability to change the sigil to anything at any time.
Now of course, this would have to have restrictions otherwise it might just be too silly. First of all, I think a feature like this could be a really neat gold sink. Maybe not too much, but still a sink nonetheless.
For instance, every sigil you swap to is locked. It costs 5g to unlock the first sigil, then an additional 5g for every other sigil. Let’s say I wanted a Superior sigil of Justice unlocked, that’s 5g. Now, I want a Superior Sigil of the Night unlocked, now that’s 10g to unlock, for 15g in total. Once unlocked you can swap to the sigil at any time on the legendary in the same interface where you change their stats, so long as you are out of combat.
I wouldn’t really care if a feature like this didn’t make it to the game (it probably won’t) but I think it would be a super neat convenience for anybody who spent a large portion of time making a legendary. What do you guys think?
4. let gw2 scan the memory for any unallowed program at random intervalls and send a message to anet if one is found.
you realize this form of detection is incredibly unreliable, right? Just because a program isn’t allowed doesn’t mean somebody’s using that program with gw2
