Guild Wars 2

Ive been extremely interested in Thaumanova lore since the beginning of the game, adding Scarlet in as the reason completely destroyed the whole thing for me.

Please stop adding Scarlet to everything, Its getting extremely annoying.

for me, its the renown hearts. I like it that they tried to get rid of the traditional quests with these, but honestly, i would take well made quests over renown hearts any day.

They are just…boring, they have no context, you just get to an area and “oh im supposed to do this”, but without any quest log or initial quest giver, you have no idea why you are doing what you are doing (unless you go to the renown heart person, but its pretty vague and shallow compared to lets just say quest givers in WoW).

I just like quests that have stories in them that i can read and participate in.
The Personal Story is also not nearly enough to satisfy my need for story-based quests.

It’s pretty stupid to complain about one person from anet doing a minigame like this by himself and the fact that its a cinematic artist makes it even more stupid.

cinematic artists only creates content to other developers content, they only work when they are needed and they have a lot of free time because of that.

One of those artists with the free time decided to use that to create something small and fun for you guys and you rage about it, beautiful.

Maybe you don’t find it fun and thats fine, people have their opinions, but making the flash minigame did not damage anything related to the development of GW2 itself.
Bug fixes and new content are not what cinematic artists do.

Not only did the music completely destroy the mood of the trailer for me, but i also really dislike the competition as well.

Why would you make a competition about making a GW2 music video, when you dont even have first person view? Absolutely none of the videos are going to look good when you cant remove your own character from the middle of the screen (unless its like a dance video or just you fighting mobs, which is what every GW2 video already is).
I might just have a massive grudge about not having first person view. Being unable to take proper scenery screenshots for over a year has been really annoying.

This competition would have been great if it was bundled with official first person view update, its like “hey look what we added, here use this song to make the most amazing cinematic masterpiece you can”. Now that would have been cool.

No matter how bad this is, i dont regret voting for kiel. I still dont ever want Abaddon to be part of a fractal, at least when the writing of gw2 is what it is.

Who actually wants Abaddon to be part of a 10min – 20min fractal? seriously?
He deserves more.
So to every Evon voters, i saved your Abaddon from a terrible fate, no need to thank me.

Considering Anet already encourages you to replay the LS2 content for the achievements, having different conversations based on the personality choice would certainly make it at least slightly more interesting to replay the missions.

(that is if you still get multiple choices during dialogue, based on personality)

Not cool. What happened to ‘play how you want’? The supposed motto of GW2 from day 1… I can’t play how I want because I’m forced to do something I don’t want to do!!!

This game has NEVER been 100% “play how you want”. Want any of the dungeon skins but don’t like dungeons? tough luck. Want the dungeon weapons but don’t like dungeons? Nope.
Wanted any of the Living Story items but don’t like doing achievements? Nope. (although you can get them for laurels and gold now, but it wasn’t like that during the LS)

There has always been certain requirements to get things in this game, since the very beginning. Which is why im always annoyed whenever i see people pull out the “play your way” card.

Of course you can play how you want, but who said that you will get everything by playing the way you want?

Now that im over that, im pretty sure Mawdrey is supposed to be an item you need to do many different things to get. It also has infusion slots down the line, which would be the reason it requires something from the mists(fractals).

What did I say to the Mesmer? I told him to play a class that takes kittening skill. I don’t think opponents can hear you though.

If you were fighting against me and said that, i would feel pretty kitten insulted and would most probably report you. People like you need to keep their mouths shut, because not everyone choose a class based on how op they are, but because they like it.

I for one, chose to play Mesmer ever since Guild Wars 2 was annouced, i never cared about whetever they would be op or not, i just liked Mesmers concept.

If someone like you would just say kitten like that to me and tell me to play another class, i would sincerely hope that you would get banned for verbal abuse.

it was really poor decision, cultural armor should never be in gemstore. They made the human light T3 completely irrelevant.

Flamekissed armor should be changed to something else or be removed from the gemstore.

At first, i thought that the trait hunting would be something fun to do at lvl80 (and i always thought it was going to be for grandmaster traits only), but after getting my alt to lvl30, i was baffled by the fact that EVERY trait needs to be hunted separately? Why?

requirements including personal story (don’t like) to 100% map completions (won’t bother doing that with every single alt)

I just don’t feel like playing with alts anymore, gaining traits has become a painful chore, or an awful money sink.
There is nothing to look towards when gaining levels, when you don’t get any traits until you separately check how to get all of them.

I preferred having my traits automatically unlocked, with only grandmaster traits (and new traits) being part of the hunt.

Even in Guild Wars 1, they didn’t lock every single skill behind tedious tasks, only elite skills.

At least with my human mesmer, when i have the super staff out while standing still, the bird is shown sideways and it blocks the characters face.
I think it would make more sense and be more appealing if the bird was facing the same direction as the player.

It’s not very fun to look at the birds animation’s and keep it out when its shown the way it is right now.

It’s no different that WoW or most MMORPGs of that nature. You’re not going to find worthwhile questing in an MMORPG…with one exception. The Secret World is the only MMORPG I’ve ever played that had engaging questing. Especially the investigation missions.

hoh, i completely forgot about TSW. I do have it and yeah, the investigation quests are amazing.

Sorry if this has been talked about many times already, i couldn’t find anything by searching.

I haven’t really been reading too many posts on the forums in a long time, so i was wondering if there has been any information about when the guesting feature is going to be added?

Ive been waiting for it since beta and i really want it while my friends on other servers are still playing, it is going to be useless if they release it when my friends have already quit the game. ( some of them already have) I can’t join their server because of my guild and because i have rl friends on my server.

I would assume its somewhere around 19:00 GMT like Act 3… and i think Act 2 started around that time as well

“A-net, give us guesting please!”
Months of whining and complaining about no new content later
“You’re giving us what we want but we want more!”
Babies.

It has nothing to do with us wanting more, the problem is that they gave us less than they promised, they gave us false information.

My best moments in Guild Wars 2 have all been with my guild, thus one of my favorite screenshots is of my amazing guild members. Without them, my journey in GW2 wouldn’t have been as fun.

(still eagerly waiting for first person view so i can take scenery screenshots, like i do in every mmo i play ’ ^’)

Wah!!! WTG buyer! No sympathy what so ever!!1

Seriously though ANet needs to make it a bannable offence for for both sellers and buyers.

Care to give us a reason?
If someone can solo (or duo) a dungeon path, why can’t they sell it?

It benefits everyone, the seller gets money from it and the buyer gets the tokens that they wanted.

And don’t even count the sellers that kick others from the group to sell slots, those are a completely different thing than legit sellers.

Running services have been around the series since Guild Wars 1, this is no different.

There is nothing to fix here, the reason you don’t have 8 character slots is because thats a way for Anet to make money (You buy more character slots from the Gem store)

I just want the permanent hair changing kit. I’m a woman, I like changing my character’s hair, this kit is so ideal for me. If they made it available in the gem store, for even 2000 gems, I’d buy it. >_<

You mean like the Self-Style Hair Kit that has been on Gem Store for 250gems for few weeks now? (under ‘Services’)

No She means a permanent one. One that doesn’t disappear after use.

oh alright, i thought of it as permanent hair change, didn’t think about the actual item being permanent, which is an odd thought now that i think of it.. but then again i’m also quite tired.

Pretty sure everyone will settle in the most convenient city which will then become another LA for us.

People go where others are, they are not going to spread around, if they would, they would have done it already.

They should add another tier in between exotic and legendary which are easier to obtain and are less flashy for casual gamers. This way, really good players still keep their legendary bling and more casual gamers get a consolation prize.

Stat-wise, Legendaries and Exotics are the same, so there is no tier to be put in between them.

Look-wise you have the Cultural Tier 1-3 weapons and dungeon weapons, if you want a less flashy weapon that looks good, get one of those.

In Clockwork Chaos, Emissary Vorpp gives you an holographic communicator that you use to contact him after your objective is completed.

So yeah, they do have communicators.

I still think that the residents of the server should have some priority over guests, as in, allow actual players of that server take spots from guests, sure its not good for the guests, but its pretty ridiculous for the people who actually call that server their home as well.
Its like if you went outside to do stuff, then came back to home only to get yourself kicked out to the neighbors house just because your house was full of guests (this probably happens somewhere, but whatever, i still find it silly).

My mind can’t think of any better solution for this, but if there are other ways to do it, i’ll support them, as long as guests wont be the reason actual players of that server getting kicked to overflow

I like the effort put in to all of this, but none of this really fits Guild Wars.
To be honest, i don’t even think they would fit Cantha, and that’s Asian themed continent.

I also really don’t think the game needs a generic humanoid japanese cat people (that have a tribe called ‘Nyan’.. really?). There are so many other mmo’s out there that have them.

First person view is something ive wanted since headstart.
I just want to be able to take scenery screenshots in this beautiful world already >:(

Every single game that has ever existed has been on some kind of sale. It’s a good business practice, because people are more willing to buy a game if they see it go cheaper (thats how i got 3 of my friends to play GW2).

I don’t feel ripped off at all by GW2 going on sale, i pre-ordered it 2 years ago and have clocked over 2k hours on it already and also experienced all the events that new players can’t experience so easily.

And as any sensible person would, i expected the game go on many sales further down the line, because its completely normal.

Oh, i saw people doing events everywhere around Southsun on my server, almost every event i saw, was being done by players.
