Guild Wars 2

Shortbow skill 3 – Sevenshot – needs work… badly. It’s practically a waste of energy as it is, with how often the projectiles vanish.

It will have no effect on your personal story, you’ll still be able to do it whenever you wish.

Edit: Just click the story journal tab in the hero window, then click the my story drop down menu and click “Continue This Story”

Revenants assassin stance skill impossible odds does not appear to increase the attack speed of autoattacks when using action camera. Quickness in general seems be a bit buggy with action camera.

Honestly, as much as the medium armor classes complain about the excess of longcoats, at least their armors tend to be good looking. I would much prefer an excess of coats over an excess of robes and frills. Guild Wars 1 Mesmers had an incredible selection of armor that encompassed a range of tastes. I would be willing to pay cash for Guild Wars 2 renditions of these: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Mesmer_armor.

kitten those armor’s look AWFUL, i would not go anywhere near that garbage looking armor, I personally think all cloth armor look like garbage in guild wars, people use the excuse ‘’well it’s cloth’’ so what? WoW has some of the best looking cloth set’s, some of the best looking set’s are cloth, so don’t use that excuse that it’s cloth so it cant look as cool, it really can, WoW did it, why cant gw2 ? jesus

It’s all preference. Frankly I think most of the cloth armour in WoW looks like trash. But that’s just me. I also think that as far as medium and light armour on males is concerned, GW1 beats out GW2 hands down – I’d rather have GW1 male mesmer armour over practically anything GW2 has to offer at the moment (light armour wise) – which is disappointing.

Wow! what a necro! but still quite relevent. Please anet! less buttskirts/skirts/trench coats and moar pants!

Maybe they could just make them smaller? Personally I don’t mind the look of them on males, but that size! they’re just so ridiculously huge! it just doesn’t make sense! Why does the male version have giant clown shoulders and the female one looks fine?

Happened to me too. Very disappointing, having to read every other line because the audio only works half the time.

Well after all that work I didn’t really like it on my main, so I just threw it on this character since the I thought the colours were pretty similar already.

In the other thread someone discovered that disabling auto proxy detect solved the CoherentUI crash issue.

Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings
Make sure “Automatically detect settings” is UNchecked

This has solved the issue for several of us on both Windows 8.1 and Windows 7.

Well this worked for me and I can use the tp/gem store now, but it raises the question – why would such a thing cause a problem like this? and is this option something that I might actually want to have on, or do I not need to worry about it?

Yep.. every one of my characters is like this, even my asura is missing part of his feet at the proper angle.

MattKemp.2761:

I had a similar crash today – I found the following fixed it for me (on Windows 7 64-bit):

1. Create a new shortcut to the GW2.exe executable
2. Right click the shortcut and click “Properties”, then click the “Shortcut” tab at the top
3. At the end of the “Target” box (after the existing text and after the closing speech mark) add the following, replacing the <> bits with the appropriate text:
-email <your account email address> -password <your password> -nopatchui
4. Click Apply, OK, then double click the shortcut to launch GW2

For me this seemed to skip whatever part of the launcher screen was crashing, hope it works!

Edit: Once you’re in, don’t open the trading post, or you will crash! If you don’t open it you should be fine

So this worked for me, but.. not being able to use the tp or anything in that window is really quite annoying, so I’ll just wait.

Same thing is happening to me.

Dusty Moon.4382:

Well, GW1 had the same thing. I think it is based on that. All Ranger armor was based on trench coats.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Ranger_armor

There was far more variation in GW1 for rangers. In prophecies it was pretty equal for males with 3 out of 11 sets being trench coat-like, 4 being more like tights with no buttcape and nothing covering the front, and the other 4 sets having the infamous buttcape. With the expansions, trench coats actually became less and less common. Lets not forget obsidian armor – the “endgame” prestige armor – that has no coat or buttcape to speak of, and it looks awesome! I really wish there was something like that for males in GW2.

If you’ve got a male character and you don’t want a trench coat/buttcape/skirt/something that covers your whole mid-section, then you’re out of luck with medium armor. I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it again — there is literally one shirt type medium chest piece for males in this game, and that is charr T3.

A little bit of a thread necro here but I didn’t really want to start another one just for this post, and I didn’t find anything newer in the first couple pages to post in sooo….

I actually really like the new striders skin in the gem store – on females that is. Aside from the fishnet bits, I really do like it! the whole skin tight body suit look without going overboard on the chest, which they so easily could have done… I like it.

Unfortunately though, it just doesn’t look as good on males. Again they’re stuck with a stupid buttcape.. coat … thing.

Why couldn’t something similar have been done for the male version? I’m not asking for much (no fishnets on males please ;P) – just less coats/buttcapes and a bodysuit type medium armor skin for males. I know you can do it ANET. You did it in GW1 with assassins and rangers.

CoF heavy legs are pretty revealing… in one certain area.

If you’re talking about the dialog that I think you are, then unfortunately it was already in the game.

How was the armour changed exactly? the patch notes don’t help me at all and I don’t notice a difference in the preview window.

It is definitely working for me. The only thing that isn’t working properly is that the tooltip for lava font shows a 4 second duration when I have both persisting flames and blasting staff equipped, but it most certainly IS lasting the extra 2 seconds with persisting flames equipped.

Although I would love a zodiac colored skin option, until then this will do nicely:

kitten it, heavy armor.. =(

I dunno man. I prefer medium armor to all other armor classes. Heavy is all just plate/mail for the most part. Medium is mostly coats. Light is mostly robes. That’s how it goes.

Plus medium armor gets what in my opinion is the best armor in the game. Thanks scarlet! (for once this is serious.)

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Magitech_Medium_Armor_Skin

Here’s some pictures of me with that coat, human t2 pants, and some pieces from the toxic update and TA update. You can get pretty creative with medium if you try.

Except light gets robe-less non racial outfits and heavy gets several non-armored outfits~ both of which get skirtless options for both genders.
Medium gets 0 as a male character. Absolutely 0. Not 1, not 0.5~ pure 0.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Falconer%27s_armor
Armored, instead of leather.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sorrow%27s_Embrace_armor
metal, also non-leather

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Scout%27s_armor
No long coat at all, pants.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Viper%27s_Medium-Armor_Skin
No long coat, similar to light armor.

Definitely not 0.

You’re right. Its 1. Charr Male T3 Chest. Nothing else even comes close to being a non medium/long coat for males, except T1 male and vipers, with T1 looking like kitten with the balloon sleeves and vipers having that ugly crap on the sides.

Not counting the human t1 on males which looks like garbage, there is literally one medium chest piece that looks like a shirt without some extra crap hanging off the sides of it.

T1 has the best pair of leg armor in the entire game. Nothing beats the striped jeans. Don’t see how it’s garbage.

Pic 1 related.

Also, you can go for a light armor/necro look. I guess another point I’m trying to make is: Why the hate? The coats are the best part of the medium armor class.

Sorry, I was specifically referring to the chest piece of human male T1. I do like the legs.

For me its not the coats themselves, its the fact that there is almost nothing else to choose from.

Very happy with the change.

Would rares/exotics obtained from the MF to be put back into the MF count as self crafted?

I don’t mind it that much personally, but I think its just disappointing that such drastic changes had to be made to some sets just in order for them to glow.

I’d like an invite if possible, please! thanks.

I’m just wondering, as these drop in CoE explorable, do they actually work on anything in the dungeon? as far as I can tell the only “inquest” in there are the ones stuck in the shield and possibly the golems.

Ever since I updated my audio drivers I’ve been having a problem ingame: occasionally certain things will stop making any sound, as if I’ve muted something in the sound options which I have not. I will still able to hear the bgm and any UI sounds such as opening/closing windows, but NOT any kind of sound that would come from my – or any other – character or NPC, no skill sounds, no voiced dialog, not even jumping into or out of water.

Using a waypoint/switching maps, or re-launching the client seems to fix it, until it happens again that is.

I want give you a bit feedback from today dear devs:-)

I am glad you add LFG tool but it need much mure feature before majority of players starts prefer it before gw2lfg.com

I tried today make a speed run party, I was very specific what I looking for (level, gear, ect) a must kick about 20 people what are I dont know.. lets say were too casual to understand what I want in description. I also feel bad for that kicking because its wrong.

So here is list of features what may prevent this misunderstandings (lets say it will be some checklist what dont allow players without those specifications even see party offer in roster):
- Level restriction
- Class restriction
- Gear rarity and stat type restriction
- Let party creator see players gear and build (like in SPvP)

Also instead of creating party and waiting for players to join make something like list of currently avaible players. Player fit some quick description and wait till someone pick him from the list. Also some system to rate players by other players will be great it learn some people behave better.

I have the solution to all your problems: Lower your expectations.

I know, it’s radical and scary and you don’t want to, but it’s sometimes necessary to get things done. Dungeons in GW2 are so brainlessly simple that you don’t need things like gear checks and specific classes to do speed runs. Shocking I know.

QFT. Seriously, you can play whatever the hell you want, all the dungeons are a cakewalk if you know what to do.

If you’re only interested in playing with people who are:

1. At a certain level
2. Playing a certain class
3. Using a certain build
4. Wearing of a certain rarity AND stat combination

Then maybe you ought to find yourself a guild with similar interests.

Hell, even just a couple friends who you know are good at the game, then you’re only playing roulette with a few pugs.

Amadan.9451:

having a timer on bosses so the event can actually fail is like a single player console game with no save point.

You.. you’re being sarcastic right?! RIGHT!? you have to be! because it is absolutely nothing at all like that!

How disappointing. Please revert this change.

Yes.

I hope its a bug. It sounded way better before, and I really liked the little laugh you could hear just as chaos storm ended.

Its nice, but… they pretty much just fixed what was broken and made it a bit shinier and more noticeable. I was expecting more.

I just hope they make the minstrel a legendary. A real legendary.

If anyone could let me know if this spot is uncontested on any server that would be great, I could use the karma npc there.

Go ahead and complete the events if you want.

Who cares if you get called out in chat?, anyone that would do that is obviously garbage, so you wouldn’t want to associate with them anyway – that just makes it easier for you block and/or report them and be done with it.

You can’t get banned for completing the objectives set by the game itself, that would be absolutely ridiculous. The people who harass you after you do so however might not be so lucky.

$50 and it was absolutely worth it.

Honestly though, with the amount of time I’ve put into this game, I could have easily bought everything I ever wanted out of the gem shop with gold. If I wasn’t so lazy.

I spent maybe 1g in wp costs, and got a dusk for about 700k karma.

All I want is the thruster aetherized sword! is that too much to ask!?

They’ve done it before, they can do it again.

Zacchary.6183:

It doesn’t matter how legendary they look because the only legendary part of a legendary is the legendary amount of time and effort you waste in it. All they are are skins. Besides, the only cool looking skin is Twilight and even that can’t be used by every profession.

Waste? what else is there to spend gold on other than skins?

I’d like to see you make a sylvari look like that.

No, seriously, I can’t think of any way to get this armor to not look horrible and disproportionate on either my male or female sylvari.

Ascii.9726:

These achievements are now giving 50 AP per completed achievement instead of the previous 2, is this a bug or working as intended.

Personally i think these should not reward any AP at all, (just titles + perks) as i feel i shouldn’t be forced to play GW1 to remain highscore competitive on GW2.

It seems unlikely to me that they boosted the AP reward for 10 different achievements by accident.

As for the fact that you can’t remain competitive on that all-important list without these achievements, well then it sucks to be you, because its even more unlikely that they are going to remove these achievements that they decided to give their most dedicated fans long before this game even came out.

It’s still broken.

Why am I still unable to sell mine on the TP? did mine perhaps come out of the wrong type of trick or treat bag or something ridiculous like that? there were patch notes stating that it had been fixed SIX months ago.

You have seemingly had no problem adding more endless tonics to the game which are perfectly fine going onto the TP, so why not the endless halloween tonic?

What time will it be gone from the gem store? I’m seeing “Sale Ending Soon!” ingame and I’m wondering if tomorrow will be too late to get one.

At least I don’t have to spend gems to get these skins – the drop rate may be low as heck but its better than nothing. Which is what I would be getting if I had to get them through gem store boxes.

Ok I Did It.2854:

Its truly sad as I played GW1 for 7 years, but its clear that GW2 is moving fast into a P2P game, where in you best be buying gems to covert to gold to get anything.

I see this a lot, and honestly.. I don’t get it. I have pretty much everything I ever wanted in this game, excluding some strictly luxury items like the permanent merchant/hair stylist contracts. I never once converted gems into gold and I don’t know anyone who has.

What exactly is this stuff that you need to be converting gems into gold to be able to get?

I like it. Dust prices have plummeted, and I’ll be needing a lot of it. Though of course, if I had bought a bunch of dust just before this update, I wouldn’t be liking it as much. =P

I’ll probably get one but.. really, it just looks SO WRONG.
