Guild Wars 2

Totally agree with OP.. I am also stuck on 3/5 door events after like running around for an hour, only to miss a door, get no event from it or accidentally enter and end up in LA.
Doing them in in the Labyrinth might work, but it shouldn’t be the “only” option..

I really like the event, but completing 13 of the 13 maps for the Achievement is proving to be rather difficult for me..
Maybe it is just bad luck, but the last map I need never seems to pop when I am actually on-line.
I would prefer if the maps weren’t randomly selected (back to back Field of Ruins..) but instead there was a rotation schedule. It might take some of the “fun” out of it.. but I could actually find the time to do my last missing map.
Yes, I would get up at 2:58am, do the event and then go back to sleep at 3:48 if I had to..
Achievements should not be easily achievable, but they also shouldn’t be almost unobtainable by casual players..

Since both Fireheart and Frostgorge are a -must do- area, I am glad that they tend to pop up more often than other maps.

Isn’t there a confirmation window already when buying dungeon gear?

I don’t necessarily think that “demand” is an appropriate word to use in a post.
Asking for something usually nets better results..
However, I do agree with the OP, it would be nice to have a wider selection of clothing (revealing/non-revealing) available, for both male and female characters.
Then people would have the -option- to dress however they want to.

Sounds like fun, though ANET would have to create some sort of algorithm to adjust the stats for any “old characters”, reducing their power, vitality, run speed, endurance etc

The OP was simply asking for more options.
Some like to dress their characters in skimpy armor, some prefer the realistic/practical look.
Also, if we are willing to accept that Elis can shoot fireballs and Necros can summon undead, then a chainmail bikini might as well offer the same protection as full suit of armor.

You can get 5 crystals for 200 Gems..
You can trade 1.7 Gold for 100 Gems.
Sounds like a much better deal than your suggestion of 5 gold for 1 crystal..
Unless I’m missing something..?

Wow, good to know! I better stock up on these frogs then before the march patch..

I usually run AC with my ranger, using short/long bow combo. During Path 1, when destroying the graveling burrows, it is still a huge pain to target said burrows. I was hoping that the recent update would fix this issue, getting nothing but “out of range” or “obstructed” messages, but alas.. it ain’t so :/
And no, I am not too far, and I do have a clear line of sight to my target, cause I do hit the gravelings, just not thew burrow.
Yes, I know I might have better luck with melee weapons, not the point though..
The point is, that while new content IS great, and changing up the dungeon a bit is also great.. I really wish ANET would fix known issues/bugs as well..

On a sidenote, at the end of Path 3, Warmaster what’s-his-name failed to put up the bubble like 3-4 times, causing pretty much instant party wipes. The new boss mechanism is neat, but between the 2 NPCs they got about 1/2 a brain.. I hope their script gets fixed soon.

No, the character that has the item bound to it can put it in the mystic toilet and make it into an infused ring, basically creating a new ring that is no longer soulbound..
Again, not sure if it works for amulets, but it does for rings.. so it should.

Not sure if this works with amulets, but with an ascended ring, when you infuse it, you also reset its “soulbound” status.

I think we should be able to remove players from the party, with a majority vote. Today, I was running FotM and we lost a guy just as we finished the first fractal. We waited and waited, even did the first part of the second fractal as far as we could 4-men it, but he never logged back in. So after 10+ minutes, we removed him and got a replacement. There is no way we could have finished the run with just 4 people.. there are times when being able to remove a party member is a must, though I agree, it can be abused at times. Which is why I agree with the OP, change it to a 2 vote system to a majority kick.

I’d like to be able to purchase other things besides the non-infused rings with pristine relics.
Please allow us to trade them for vials, globs or shards of mist essence and infused rings. Maybe even fractal skins.
The 40 relics I got are just collecting dust in storage.. please ANET, let us use them for something other then none-infused rings.

Or just do what everyone else has done, wait for the weekly server update, keep your fingers crossed for the right color and then explore as much as you can.
It took me about 2 months to get the last 4%, because my server just did not get the Blue color.
If ANET were to allow some sort of neutrality/white flag now for WvW exploration, then they might as well just remove it as a requirement.

Yeah, I go a bank-tab full of none-infused rings, all my lvl 80 alts have none-infused rings and I am sitting on 25+ pristine relics.. It would be nice if we could use them to get:
-vials (1)
-globs (5)
-shards (10)
-infused rings (20?)
-fractal skins (30?)

Thing is, not much happens in your capital city once you leave for LA.. At one point, everyone has to go to the Grove to talk to the Pale Tree, that’s about it.
So, currently people just WvW → LA to avoid the WP cost. Not sure what difference Capcity → LA would make..

If they changed any of the current cultural armor look, ANET would have to offer a way to re-found the gold to everyone who already has a set and does not like the new look.
Usually, I don’t complain.. but if I spent 150 gold on a purely cosmetic armor and then it got changed (in my mind for the worse), I would be a little upset..

As the title says, I’d like to see additional character voices and backgrounds. Right now, we got one male and one female voice/race and 3 backgrounds..
I know that new voices would require a lot of studio recording, same with new backgrounds, but it would be nice to have a little more variety.

An easy to way to expand the current background selection is to allow “foundlings”, as in say a charr being raised by humans in Divinity, or a human raised by sylvari in the Grove etc, etc.. I know that it would not be perfect lore-wise, especially when it comes to sylvari.
(Cultural armor would still be based on a character’s actual race, not their background)

Wanna play like a “kid”? check out another ncsoft game called “blade and soul”..

And maybe a confirmation for the confirmation window!

We might get javelins when the Paragon return in the Elona expansion!

A lot of people will immediately say “No”
Here are some of their reasoning:
-1 We don’t want n00bs in high level runs!
Well, with the latest patch, anyone can already join any Fotm level.

-2 Just because you know how to play a thief in a lvl 30 Fotm, doesn’t mean you can do the same with a guardian!
Yes, no one should jump straight into a lvl 30+ Fractal with a new class, do a -few- runs at 1-10, a few at 11-20 and then a few at 20+. I have no problem doing a few low level practice runs, but grinding out 30+ Fractals on multiple alts is just tedious.

-3 They gonna have no AR, they will melt in high level Fractals
Every piece of Ascended gear comes account bound, so they can be easily passed onto alts.

Too many times we end up in a badly composed PUG, say 2 Elis, a Thief, an Engi and a Mesmer (just an example). We all know that we’ll probably fail, yet no one wants to leave a full group..
If Fractals were account based, people would be a lot more willing to switch over to their alts, to create a more balanced group.
However, since Fotm reward is character based, no one wants to run a high level instance and get level 1 rewards.
Which is why I would like to see the personal reward level to be account based instead.

Agreed, medium armor is pretty mehh at the time..
The only (non cultural) one I like is the “Duelist” set. Hopefully ANET will notice that 9 out of 10 thief/ranger/engi are wearing that style of armor and make more similar ones in the near future.

If they are going to introduce a large number of town clothe, then instead of buying a single “copy” of it for each character, we should get account based “blueprints”. Then give us dedicated storage/inventory where we can store all these new blueprints.. Finally, create a tailor NPC (like the festival hat guy) who can make us a set of the unlocked town clothe for a few copper/silver..
Otherwise, I have no reasonable way to manage soul-bound town clothe for 8 characters.

Salvaging them into various quality mist essences, which are also account bound, would not contribute to the economy.

I think we should be able to salvage ascended rings.
The basic ones (lvl 10-19 Fotm) could yield vial and globs of mist essence, while the higher level ones (the infused rings from 20+ dungeons) could salvage into globs and shards.
I am a “casual” fotm runner, and even I got a bunch of “spare” rings already. I don’t want to simply merch them for 5sp, but I also can’t rly use even on my various alts, because of the stats they offer.
It would be nice to get a little bit of a profit from these rings..

On that note:
When making a LFG, please include your class and level.
When making a LFM, include what classes you want.
When the group is full, delete the LFM post..

I had to wait 4 weeks for my server to change WvW color.. was sitting at 98% completion. It will happen though, so don’t worry about needing to transfer servers just for this!

I know someone who bought gold in Aion, he was caught and banned.. since both Aion and GW2 are NCSoft, I assume it’s the same policy..

Maybe I missing your point, but I already report gold sellers, both in game whispers, in game mail offers and private messages here on the forum.
I just do it to make the game a better place for everyone, I don’t expect a bounty..

I want a charr motorcycle! One that belches smoke as I ride it all over Tyria..
Or even better, a Macross style asura battle golem. I could fight in it while in robot mode, and then transform into a flying jetplane like mount.

An alternative solution is to remove all POIs and Vistas from inside the castles/keeps.. That way, even if your server is not that good with WvW, or you get stuck with the same color week after week.. you can still explore everything and get your 100%

Only problem I can see with that is people “accidentally” buying dungeon gear on the wrong toon, and then complaining here that they want a refund, or triple redundant confirmation system.

Events supposed to scale to the number of players within its boundary.. it would be nice if maps/areas would do something similar.
The more active players are in a specific location, the more mobs spawn, and the faster they respawn..
As it was already pointed out, the worse for this is Orr.. you cannot take 3 steps without tripple-aggroing, and by the time you kill that last enemy, the first one is back already :/
A more intuitive system would certainly be welcomed!

Can we have a similar thing for say money and dungeon tokens and other stuff too? The more I am off line, the more money I get when I log back in!

While I am glad that most hats, especially my characters’ hats, are hidden during a cutscene.. Zojja should be -the- exception.. Her hat actually made her look cool.
Maybe it’s just me, but I can no longer take her serious..
Since she has no hair, just make her hat her “hair” and don’t hide it anymore..

That be nice, or increase the maximum stack size from 250 to say 1,000.. at least when it comes to certain items that we supposed to have a lot of (dungeon tokens, fractal relics etc).

I think it’s a neat idea that dungeons can become inaccessible and we need to complete an event or two to unlock them (CoE, CoF etc)..
However, when using the “LFG” website to find a group, we can easily end up with 5 players from 5 different servers.
Sometimes, this can work in our favor, the dungeon is open for one guy and he can zone us right in. Unfortunately, especially in the early hours, this can work against the group, because on all 5 servers the dungeon is contested and there is no way anyone can solo the event chain.
I wish there was a way to force and overflow instance of the map, so the group could come together and do the event, and then run the dungeon instance..

Hey Faction, I’ll miss you.. can I have your stuff?

Merry Christmas, you can turn off “double-tap roll” through your Options menu

During our daily fractal run, we lost a guy and of course he could not reconnect.. so we were at 4 for most of the dredge powersuit battle.. managed, but it was painful..
When we finally got to the Maw, for one reason or another, we all managed to die at the same time..
Surprise!!
Instead of going back to the checkpoint and letting us finish the boss (who was around 30%), the game loaded us into LA..
Missed out on the final chest and the daily chest..

Anyone had this happen? Anyone knows why?

My guild has players on multiple servers, and the only way we can get into the same Fractal instance is through the overflow.
If Anet found a way to maintain a cross server LFG and grouping system outside the overflow, then sure.. go for it.
Otherwise, I don’t mind waiting a few extra seconds to load into LA.

Already mentioned this under the “Dungeons” section, but since it is more of a suggestion than anything else, here it is again.
Fractal dungeon level should be account wide, not character based..
As much as I like running these new dungeons, I seriously doubt that I will have the will to grind 3 or more of my lvl 80 toons through them.
I think that all level 80 character on our accounts should be able to enter the highest level fractal that we have already completed.

Since ascended gear is already account but not soul-bound, we can easily pass any “spare” rings from our original fractal runner to any other lvl 80 toon we want to use for a run.

I don’t know if this was already suggested/mentioned before, but I think the Fractal level we can run should be account based, not character based.
As much as I like the new fractal dungeons, the idea of grinding multiple lvl 80 alts through them is very unappealing.
Ascended items are already account bound on find, soulbound on use.. which means we can put them on alts, so I don’t know why I can’t just swap out my lvl 80 thief (who has been running fractals) for my lvl 80 necro (who has not done any) if my party composition would benefit more from a necro then say a 4th thief in the group.

Please ANET, allow us to either pick our eyebrow color or at least auto-match it to our hair color.
There are a whole bunch of (human female) faces with thick and dark eyebrows.. which, at least in my opinion can potentially contrasts with light hair color.
I would really like the option to either match eyebrow color to hair color, or let us adjust the eyebrow thickness..

After defending Fort Trinity, the asura portals are on-line and we can use them to travel back to the appropriate faction HQ..
Great!
Unfortunately, we can only use our own faction HQ to travel back to Fort Trinity..
Whisper HQ 5s from LA
Vigil HQ 2-3m
Priory HQ 2 zones..
Sure, we can teleport to/from our Faction HQ but why should Priory members have to pay extra?
The Whisper story line is already the funniest, then you add this whole traveling inconvenience and most people will pick Whisper over the other 2 orders for their alts (once they unlocked Priory and Vigil for achievement)
So maybe unlock the gate restrictions and allow everyone to use all 3 faction hq portals once they advanced the story line to the appropriate point.

Well, our staff might have a slow attack speed, and then a slow projectile speed BUT..
said projectile will rebound off our target and hit other mobs in the area, which means that we don’t have to worry about kittengeting!
Mobs will just keep coming, and coming.. especially in Orr!
And that’s on top of all the mobs that our pets aggro on their own..
I swear, if I could, I totally would a camping chair to the battlefield, casue I don’t even need to move..
So yeah, staff rules!

Haha, ANET has no love for them soulless gings
