Guild Wars 2

I’d love to see the return of Season 1. Those “dungeons”; Aetherblade and Molten Facility was way to much fun. And since we have the season 2 ready for replay at any time, it should fit into the game. But I think I read somewhere that they have some problems with the way the Flame and Frost and LS1 was made to make them accessible again..

It’s not that expensive though. Especially compared to other legendary items.
You only need to salvage like 2 ascended pieces for all 3 collections unless I’m missing something.

2 Balls of energy for the first tier, probably 2 balls for the second, and according to some post, 4 balls for the third.
And not counting the 75 stabilizing Matrixes times 5 to make the cubes of stabilized dark energy..

No, just no.

If guild halls had it all, it would be the death of cities, apart from LA, since you have Fractals and the daily activity dude there.

2 years ago called and said that Dungeons is dead.

That being said, I really like the suggestions, but sadly Anet does not want dungeons anymore.. Doubtful they wanted them in the first time, apart from telling the storymode.
Dungeonlife was somewhat good when Hrouda was on the team, but that is a day of the past.

Once again myself and 2 more in the active guild puzzle (Proxemix) team did not get the completion reward. Funny thing is, 2 members got left behind and did not see the puzzle thru, but they got the completion chest…
We also did the second Guild Puzzle (Langmar), and 3 Guild Members got the reward, the other 10 did not.

Can you plz fix the broken Guild Missions, that and remove the r20 for PvP Guild Missions. It’s alienating ppl out of Guild Missions.

Anet dont care about dungeons, they have abandoned them and thatwas a long time ago.

Alot of the items that the scribe can make is beyond broken. 1k Coarse sand to make 100 Sheets of coarse sandpaper to get the first decorator vendor.. How many piles of sand do you not have to go thru to get that.

I understand that some things are ment to be made for the long haul. But as you said OP, 5-7hrs of dedicated farming to craft an item that saves you 5mins is beyond rediculous.

Our guild just built the portal and we searched high and low for the portal before finally we stumbled across it.

No icon on the map of any kind to direct us either, and when we found it, not only did not ALT button show any text above it. Targeting the globe console did not show any text either.

I reckon this is not something that is hard to add, just a QoL kinda thing.

He will upgrade after a few more empty kegs and glass mugs to sell a 3% exp boost and karma boost.
If you thought you had farmed enough Silky Sand you are wrong..

Would also like a refund on the 100k Influence our guild spent on a non working booster.
Also, the tooltip on the guy giving the boost should state how long the booster is active and what it does.

So we did the PvP guild Missions, the one where we had to score 500 personal points. The issue came up when after we had made 2 teams with the help of the guild tab ofc.

One team could enter, the other could not.They qued up for unranked and the message they got was somewhere along the lines of: “You or someone in your team is not high enough rank to do this”.
I mean, why is Guild Missions cutting of some of our members?
If there is a rank req on the guild missions, please have the Mission say so in game.

So, I just bought the Account Jump start only to find out that I already have maxed out the personal bank space, meaning I have now items that are useless to me.

Is there any chance of getting them deleted and my gems returned, or a change to the Bank tab extras to be gifted?

Tried the Raid, got to the last boss, too low dps and general mayhem in a Pug group (as expected).
Thought the first 3 bosses where too easy, or they took too long to kill, again Anet with their hp sponge bosses. High HP does not make for a hard encounter.

But.. my only thought was.. these guys look soo dull.. Like a mini version of the Thematunova boss in Fractals. I get that there probably is a story somewhere about how these energy humanoid slendermen fit in this. But as a first time seeing them I thought that they must be placeholders for something far more interesting/intimidating. Something more Mordremothy..

BWE3 Feedback.

Great synergy between Headbutt → Outrage with Rousing Resiliance traited.
Full adren instantly and 1k Toughness with 12sec or 2sec downtime depending on foes met.
Although, Headbutt could do with a minor range increase, maybe like 250 instead of 180.

I feel the Hammer Rageburst is lacking in damage and secondary power, either increase the Immob to 2secs or add cripple for 3-5sec after the Immob since the aftercast, atleast to my experience makes the 1sec Immob virtually useless.
Or change it to a AoE pull with the effects going in the opposite direction (all impact crater like) and only target 3.

I don’t know if this has been suggested before, but why not give Warriors a unique condition: Deep Wound, from Gw1. cut 10% max hp (not 20% as in Gw1) away from target as long as they are under the condition. Non stackable ofc.

And please make Fast Hands baseline for Warriors.
GM trait Furious, why does it grant bonus condi dmg, I know that the devs love condi dmg, but a more fitting for the warrior, since we are more of direct dmg type of class would be pure dmg, maybe change it to 10power instead of condi dmg.

How about doing a Ingame broadcast as well? You have the tech for it.

Working as intended

Can’t join squads, commanders not getting a join squad button when we right click their portrait.

Was in a squad earlier, but we got up to 9 ppl then that started acting up and we could not invite any more players. The only return message we got was: The player is already in a party, even though they where not.
had them double check with their “normal” characters and they where not in a party.

We are of to a good start with the raid testing,,

There is a major issue with Warrior Trait: Last Chance and stomping as the stomping fails to connect every single time I’ve been using it under the trait.
The speed works just as expected, but the banner does not connect, meaning a second stomp is required in order to finish of the red name.

Maybe it’s the Quickness boost that times out and that is causing the fail on the stomp or some other issue.

Easy fix for this, team up with people you know are good players, go to tourneys and enjoy the wins

I’ve been having a blast the last matches I played.

Easy fix, have Revealed Status on any stealth skill after the stealth goes away, for any reason.
Got out of stealth before timer ended: Revealed, Let timer run out: Revealed. No more silly “stealth spam get out of harms way free card”.

And if the Smoke field comes before the blast, wont it add AoE Stealth as well?

CC Danicia.1394:

So excited with the Kas & Jory story. I’ve had that last scene of them as my desktop background for a while now, ever since I screencapped it on my first play through on Dev servers. swoon

And that battle is awesome!

Are we gonna see a male gay couple next time?
Or is that going to far?

Azurite Crystals drop yes, but the Orichalcum ore is removed from the Fractal, atleast it was last time I was there.

The Azurite Orbs only dropped inside a LS dungeon last year, so it’s not avaliable anymore. Only thing that is is Azurite Crystals that drop in Fractals atm.

Toning down the AoE dmg could work, and cleave abilities on all melee weapons should/could be either reduced the number of targets from cleave or make it something to trait for.

Gw1 Dervish came with the Scythe, a weapon that could hit 3 targets, all other weapons hit 1target. so naturally the base dmg for the Scythe was lower than the others.

Would most likely need a overhaul of the trait system, or more how you put your points. Want to hit many foes at once and do reduced dmg or hit one foe for more dmg.
Combat would be slower but hopefully involve more tactic than the “Drop all AoE on the blue dorito” as it is now.

I’m not sure this has been brought up before but why does not Balanced Stance grant the stability and Swiftness boons on a pulse for 1sec for the duration of the stance?
Since the noons come from the Stance itself it should not be removable for the duration of the stance as they can now.

Stances should also work like they did in Gw1, where you can cancel stance if you pop a second one while the first one is still active.

Zergfest all over town, ppl are doing it for loot and you call this great?

I sure hope that when we assault Scarlets flying drill we get a 5man dungeon and not a mindless zergfest clusterf like Nightmare tower was.

One offensive and one defensive would/could work I guess.

Burst ability from Enviromental weapons should be viable for warriors as well.

If that Warrior Shout is real I feel it will abused at WorldBosses
Wonder how fast a Quickness boosted Teq will clear the field, or Lupi, or well anyone really

Achievment points and zerg grind, all the same as the Scarlet Invasions. Big difference is that LA is blown to bits. So yeah, nothing new to see.

Woe is me if the final installment is another zerg grind to the top of the Drill ala Nightmare Tower.

They had a good system to build on to make Ascended stuff, via Fractals – Gift of Ascension. But then they took the crafting/gold sink way instead.

I understand that every game needs gold sinks to get prices up a bit on items. But it’s sad that Ascended armor as of yet is unobtainable if you dont do any crafting.

I don’t count getting lucky and get an Ascended Armor box drop as a possibility.

And have the players spread out evenly across all paths, I see so many stack at the PvE commanders.. Have a player check before the 5min timer is up so there is a good even number on all sides. And WP if/when dead, but that should be a given tbh.

Dungeon specific loot tables would be nice, but I feel that dungeons is not a priority from Anets side atm.

Just remove the critical hit chance and change it to a flat 25% chance (with a 5-10sec CD) to cause a critical with whatever you are using, be it a dmg ability or a healing one where the critical has added effects. Like the new healing skill: E.D.I Shield on the engineer, where is has a chance to heal for a high amount.
A critical should be something that occurs occationally and gives a nice extra effect.

And yes, enemy HP should be lowered as well, since that is the main reason ppl zerk everything, long and boring fights where dodge is key feature. Heck, why not have endurance tied in as well, where you can only swing your weapon so many times before your arm get’s tired.

No deeper story is needed, rescue princess because evil dude stole her is enough. That is all the incentive heroes needed back in the day.

Keep the costs down on the “items” that are needed to progress or hand them out as rewards. Was so tiresome to replay areas just to farm money to buy the gear needed to progress.

Was there not s Sylvari PS where one guy was from “another” pale tree?

And I do believe I read somewhere that Scarlet knows that guys secret, that he was from another pale tree deeper into the jungle, so hopefully we will see more areas in this year

+1 for this idea.
I really like the idea of a darker nighttime, with a set of “special” encounters during the night in certain areas. Maybe some witches in Godlost Swamp, Bandits laying in wait in the woods. That sort of stuff.

And add dynamic lighting in Dungeons/caverns. Only lightsource should come from the torches that are placed, or flamepots or whatever natural lightsource can be found. This will most likely take it’s toll on the servers but it would be a soo much sweeter game experience.

A new dungeon would be nice, with a proper explorable mode with EXPLORATION and not some escort this dude thru it. If we are exploring a dungeon, it should be like no one has ever stepped foot inside before.
Something dark and epic and preferably lenghty

As for maps, there is so many areas on the map that we “should” be able to explore, like Deldrimor Front, Woodland Cascades and the Magus Falls and Maguuma Jungle. And hopefully those areas will be free of Inquest bases..

He is not hard, the issue is the new timer, who’s idead was a 15min timer on a boss with that much HP?
The spawned mobs (if they dont drop loot, dont let them spawn as Champions Anet)
Players not killing the Fingers and die to poison!
Cannoneers not using skill 2 on Recharge.
Players not WP’ing when properly dead, seriously, just WP when dead!

But he could use a good HP reduction/ Armor reduction, had our full server bash him yesterday and did not make it past 80% hp before the timer was out.

The Bazaar looks Canthan to me Here’s to hope for a Cantha expansion soon

Will be nice to see what kind of stuff we can purchase with the Ach pts, maybe something that does not give Corpal Tunnel syndrome when using/buying mass amounts of items like Beer?

The Golems is all messed up, not only do they have their Pull skill on a 8sec recharge or something close to it, they also give blind and 5stack Confusion while charged, as well as being able to be perma charged in phase3. Good job Anet on making a Super Boss Murder Room, not go fix it because it is not a fun encounter nor is the “Mechanics” any great.

Maybe it’s my team composition, maybe it’s the players, maybe it’s me.. But judging from the other posts, I’ll bet my money it’s the “Mechanics”.

Make the Laserfield dodgeable, cut the timer on the Lightning Field down, cut stuntime in half and you’ll have a community that can complete it and everybody is happy.

Collectors are there, they have just gotten their tags removed… There is one near Nolan waypoint in Diessa.

A small addition is needed to our crafting professions, I think that we could have use of a rare/exotic recepie that creates an unidentified item from the choosen line, like Daggers, Shields, Amulets, Staffs.. you get the idea..

Unid items have a chance of being either a named gear item or one of the “normal” crafted items, just the chance of being able to craft one of the precursors/named weapons/armors/trinkets would be nice.

Have the unidentified recepies use slightly more materials to craft than the rare/exotic ones do now maybe in the lines of 2 Ori Blades, 2 ori hilts, 20 t6 mats, 10ectoes for the exotic version or unid gear.

Thoughts and ideas on this?

Hi

WIth the new improved “no graveyard rushing” in dungeons, which I think is a good step to be honest, I feel that the soft res skills we have, like the Battle Standard, Sig of Undeath for instance needs a change in their mechanic, why not make them Hard resses as well?
So they can revived defeated players as well, or atleast have them work as player ressing, granting some hp back when used so it does not take too long to combat res someone.

TL:DR – Res skills work as either hard resses or grant a % back to defeated players when used.

Seconed, or thirded or whatever, would like to see them being salvageble as well, same with the rare backitems that drop like candy in Fractals..

I was just now doing lv14 in Fractals, had killed the Maw and was looting the chest where I got promted that my inv was full, so I was standing there salvaging some items when the party leader leaves and kicks us from the area. I had some items in the Unclaimed window that pops up, looking at the loading screen and hopes that the window will be there when LA loads…

It was not..

Can we get a fix on this plz? Have the unclaimed items window follow during loading screens..

Go buy a few Ash Legion stealth kits and rush the Rich node and use one kit and pick away, use a new one as the first goes out and you get that without fight or aggro from the Karka Champ..

Can you please add some heavy armor leggings without the skirts or other clothy parts please?
I’d like to be able to make a mixed armor set without the skirt and as it stands now, the only armor skin that has that is the Primeval armorskin from gemstore.

And since this is a game with high fantasy setting, there should be options beside the hip skirt (that was made to protect the tighs from arrows and added protection for horse while mounted).

penatbater.4710:

Aren’t lodestones dropping more in fracs?

True to a degree, have done around 60 Fractals now and gotten 6 Charged Cores and a couple of Onyx cores and Onyx Loadstones.. So they do drop more in Fractals, just need to get the right Fractal for the drops.. Same for t6 Mats, they drop quite alot above lv8.

I have encountered this issue on almost times I have been in the Grawl Fractal area, where you have to throw rocks on the Champion Grawl and there is a number of Veteran Grawl spawning that sometimes walk towards the captives and some that just teleport right over to them and as a result keeping my team from gaining the extra chest from that encounter.

This is clearly a bug or are we experiencing something super rare?
