Guild Wars 2

Oh Wolfie… facepalm

Had to give my two cents on the new Timekeeper Weapon skins. Freaking love’m! The shield goes great on my Chronomancer. =D

Screen of my Chrono, Trixie Moongaze.

We need a title for this. There’s one in GW1 for drinking 10k points worth of booze! Where’s our “Incorrigible Ale-Hound” Title? =O

Retaliation is fun as well.

I feel like Anet is trying to combine 2 different game types. Their “No Trifecta” game type and WoW/Other MMOs Healer/Tank/Dps type. An yes, the gear thing is really irritating. Maybe add Ascended armor/weapons as buyable rewards in Fractals for Pristine Relics? Would cut out the complaining about gear grinding and such. Still gotta work for it, but it’s not an impossible feeling slog.

Edit: I do like the Raid content, though not the timers, but it is a nice challenge and my guild and I have fun with it, even if we’ve never taken out the first boss. lol

It’ll prob get pushed out this Tuesday. That’ll give’m a whole 2 weeks to comfortably work out any bugs before Christmas. Granted, aint gonna hold my breath, but not a bad guesstiamte. lol

i agree with this. legendary is expensive as hell and you should be able to freely customize it. i also think they should apply your idea for stat sets. if im correct, you can basically have access to a plethora of stat sets for free? i think you should have to unlock it first then have it accessible for free after that.

maybe you have to use the mystic forge with the inscription and the legendary piece to apply the stat option to your equipment

Same with Runes as well would be awesome. Give a feeling of not just making your Legendary armor, but upgrading it too. Like in some games, you really wanna unlock that one gun, then ya do. Awesome! Now to get those upgrades for it. I personally like that kinda style.

Yeah, there’s some really nice stat combos, but they’re only available as a ring or something of the like. Very irritating. =\

I have been saying it for years, and I will say it again. This game had the potential to become a legendary game.

Anyone who works in branding, marketing, upper level management… knows that Anets Marketing/Sales department is of the worst. Their skills, experience, and tactics are lower than what high school kids can provide to a business. The people approving some of the decisions such as bundles and everything else do not have an ounce of business experience in them. Items should be sold as separately at full price , and bundles at a cheaper price. Personally I think all of these new armor skins etc being introduced should have been obtainable in game for free. Customers paid 50 dollars for a great expansion, but lets be honest… the worth of this expansion was no more than a 20 dollar DLC, I got bored of it in 3 days. It is nothing more than a silverwastes farm on 4 new maps. You are losing your grip on your customers by being greedy. There are many that will never buy another expansion again, never buy gem store items again. They will continue playing the game out of hope, because they enjoy it, or have communities they enjoy being with, but due to your deception you have lost them as paying customers. Now suffer the consequences of that.

When you have a diamond in the rough you carve it into a shining diamond. In this case Anet took a diamond and made it dull/rough again. The main problem with this and how this game evolved into what it is now, is due to Anet listening to our “white knights” on these forums who blindly support every decision Anet Makes, rather than actually listening to feedback and critiques from people who want this game to grow and succeed. White Knights are complacent, they are not customers you want to build a product around, you want to improve and build a product based on critiques and criticism.

Pardon my spelling errors, I do not really care about them. Just trying to get a message out.

+1 For this. Well said. Sadly, Anet will overlook this post or even this entire thread. I’d be happily surprised if they did look at it and commented, but they wont. There’s no money in it. =\

This thread is the greatest thing to happen to the Forums. =D

Yup, EAnet is at it again. Bad enough they no longer make armor sets, but to make outfits in a dumb bundle? And ONLY available in a bundle? Whoever is their economy decision maker needs to be fired or knocked upside the head.

On a side note, kinda surprised they haven’t added a 400G=5$ option in their payment list. They’d prob rake in more money from those.

These kind of dubious, hare-brained development and marketing strategies have plagued this game pretty much from day one. Somewhere in this game’s management is a truckload of incompetence; I wish I could get an inside glimpse at how their teams run and see where it’s happening. I’m sure some of it is influence coming from NCSoft to prioritize ways to maximize profit over the short term. Typical corporate blunder.

Yeah I often wonder what goes through these guys heads at times and how in the wideworld of quaggans they think they’re good ideas. lol

If they had put out the Glider and Outfit by themselves, I would have spent a little cash I saved for things like this and gotten it. I save my Gold for sinking into building my Legendary or anything else shiny I like ingame. But no, gotta spend 2k gems for junk I don’t want or need just to get the outfit. Haha, No. I think I’ll hold onto my money for something else, like Team Fortress 2 or whatever.

Got all my Ascended gear from Fractals. With the exception to a Greatsword that I crafted.

So, here’s a good one for thieves. In the old world (tested in Straits of Devastation), if you go swimming with one of the Daredevil dodges equipped, when you emerge from the water, your dodge goes back to the normal animation and loses its effect.

Bounding Dodger:

- The animation returns to a normal dodge
- You lose the Leap Finisher
- You retain the damage increase buff after dodging

Dash:

- The animation returns to a normal dodge
- You retain the damage reduction buff after dodging

Impaling Lotus seems to work the same. The underwater dodge animation for Impaling Lotus is also working fine.

Regards,

- Coryphaeus

YES! It’s very very annoying. I notice it happens when you change areas within a map. And Impaling Lotus reverts to the normal dodge roll for me, still flings daggers, but no whirl finisher.

Found a really really annoying bug for the Daredevil’s Major Grandmaster traits. From what I’ve seen, when changing areas in a map, the dodge animations stop working, though they still apply their bonus, i.e dmg reduction and Swiftness for Dash, but it plays the normal dodgeroll animation, thus not going the full 360 Units. Same with the Lotus Dodge, it’ll fling the daggers, but doesn’t play the animations nor preform the Whirl Finisher. Not sure about Bounding Dodger, haven’t unlocked it yet. Only way I can get kitten work again is by changing the traits around and back, which is really dang irritating every time I change an area…

I just wanna see the Sport Sunglasses in the store. Seen the others, but never those. Please Anet? =’(

Only thing I have a problem with this whole thing, is no character slot included with the basic expansion. That’s…very stupid. Just, straight up potato. Even in Guild Wars 1, all the expansions included character slots for however many professions came with it, which is awesome! I know Anet likes to milk us for money, but this is just…sad.

Kinda surprised Ya don’t do what was done in GW1. One area for Team PvP and another for Random Solo. Heck, team people up by their ranking, 1-9(Rabbit), 10-19(Deer), ect… Getting constantly steam rolled by premades and out ranked players is why I left WoW, really don’t wanna see GW2 follow this same path.

That and new players that wanna get a taste for pvp end up getting so badly beaten over and over no matter what, will kill any interest in yalls pvp system.

Edit: Don’t mean to come off as super negative or whatnot. Love the new UI and how it works, just not with how it groups people. lol

5 Games in a row, 500 to 0 or 500 to >100 points. Biggest waste of time. I dunno HOW Anet has their “random” team seletion setup, but it’s straight up HORRIBLE. I…don’t even wanna play. I’m no master of pvp, but I do well enough, but kitten this is so stupid. If this is the future of y’alls pvp, I want no part of it anymore.

the sunglasses are another I’d love to see back. Would buy. lol

Wonder if we can see more back items like this, interactive I mean. I like it. =D

Hmm, what about the Eternal Weapons? Sometimes run a Chaos Axe and Eternal Shield in GW1, got the axe, now for that shield. Also, any chance of seeing the return of the ‘Sports Sunglasses’?

Yeah…I’d rather spend my money on a subscription like EVE – Online, then be forced to spend it on some stupid system made by greedy…people. Least CCP ( corp that runs EVE) listens to their player base input. They run 2 servers, test server and the main game server, works great for 10+ years. You will NOT get a single cent or gold piece out of me till y’all wise up. Bonus if ya fire/replace the person(s) that even came UP with this horrible idea, cause they have no future outlook which is needed to run ANY company.

I don’t think you understand the variety of business tactics used in cash shops across the mmo genre if you think the person who came up with this has no future outlook in any company.

If they actually wanted this to happen, then they got the right people. Thus that comment is null. lol

The idea is good, nice to see what ya get before you buy, but it’s the min of 400G that just…kill it. Now if it had 1,10,25,100, on there as well…then yeah it would work well. Doing that would prob be easier then redesigning the whole thing anyways. Save time and make the playerbase happy again. Win/win.

Edit: OR just have the Gold to Gem conversion match the numbers for the Gem to Gold conversion.

Add an option buy gems in 100 gem increments instead of making 400 gems the smallest denomination possible. Problem solved.

THERE! Thank you, Errant Venture — that’s a solid suggestion with a reasonable tone. Thank you.

There has been others. One suggested a slider bar, another suggested having BOTH interfaces. The Slider bar idea is nice, kinda like how it is in the Trading Post when buying bulk items 1-250 arrow up/down + sliderbar.

Would be awesome to see Eternal Weapons back. Miss my Chaos Axe/Eternal Shield combo in GW1. Miss being able to dye weps as well. lol

Meh, I pretty much hung my hat up on my Warrior, till they fix their screw ups or stop hating warriors in general. Only reason is the instant decay, 5-10sec till it starts to decay would be great! Heck, I don’t even mind the speed at which it drains, but that instant decay on combat leave just takes the fun out of playing a warrior to me. It’s playable, yes, but just not fun anymore.

Ark Bladesteele.2943:

So, to play around with things, I deleted my local data from Users\MyUsername\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2\

So that gave me a fresh autodetect start. Oddly, no hitching, no terrible FPS. So I started to switch things back to my original config and run back and forth between the same two points over and over to see if I observed a change. Everything was fine, until I tried enabling High-Res Character Textures.

Autodetect put High-Res Character Textures unchecked by default. Turning it on immediately caused the FPS to drop and massive stuttering/hitching. The odd thing is, it doesn’t actually take effect without a map change/restart, yet just having the option checked without changing maps causes the FPS to plummet. What’s the problem here? I suppose I’ll just run around with everyone else’s characters looking like washed-out crap until you guys fix it. Seriously, on a rig as powerful as mine, I shouldn’t have to disable this setting to get a framerate that’s anywhere decent. I’d also like to know why checking this option without changing maps causes the framerate drop when it doesn’t even change character texture resolution unless I do.

Well Anet, there’s your starting point. Have fun.

That was a huge help! Stopped the constant graphic ‘lag’ I kept getting. Thanks!

When Mantra’s are traited to have 3 casts instead of 2, if you have one precharged with 3 and you go down, when you rally it removes the third cast, so all your precharged matra’s only have 2 casts instead of their traited 3. Kind of annoying.

Agreed. The whole “Grind” of it is just down right stupid. Bleh.

Nice to see I’m not the only one with this issue. You’d think you could finish the achievements as you go, but noooo…have to grind it out. Bleh.

Did abit of armor hunting for this setup.

Head and Shoulders: Forgeman
Chest: T3 Human
Gloves: Mist Walkers
Leggings and Boots: Whispers armor

Good to know it isn’t a local problem then. Something in the patch recent patch must have screwed something up. Hopfully it’ll be addressed soon.

I can go into WvW just fine, but going into the Obsidian Sanctum (for the kite) causes my game to crash. Did this twice in a row in the exact same spot. The crash report said it was caused by some kinda buff, I’m assuming it’s the invulnerability buff when standing on the ledge of the entrance. Whatever it is, it’s keeping me from getting the kite and chest in there. Some input or help or anything would be appreciated, thank you!

So, every time I open the GW2 Client, it signs me in, but when it gets to the News & Announcements part, it give’s the little loading circle in the center then just..stops working. The background behind the client goes Black and when I pull up Task Manager, it says GW2 is not responding. Any idea of a fix?
