25% movement speed

BIGHARSHNESS.3510

Boy, I sure do love seeing this topic again. I think I see necromancers complain less about mobility.

Retreat gives a very large uptime of swiftness, and if that isn’t enough then you can take a sigil of agility as well, which virtually gives permanent swiftness.

Necros can’t complain. They can trait a 25% speed increase while holding a dagger, and they have Signet of the Locust. Two more options than Guardian has.

A dev on the reddit replied

LOL That’s rich. No they most definitely weren’t removed for being sexist. They were removed because every time we went into a review of serious story content and you’re supposed to be having really weighty conversations about Tyria-shaking, monumental decisions you and your team were making…oops, is this boring? Why am I yawning, and kicking the ground like I’d rather be ANYWHERE else? It happened so often that the only real way to address that feedback was to pull them out, because unfortunately our tools don’t provide us designers with a way to throttle back only specific animations.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/4spdd5/human_female_idle_animations/d5bet8e

Lame. It doesn’t make sesne that one gender of one race had them removed, when a lot of these idle animations don’t have a place in serious situations. None of them too actually. So they all should be removed right? Just give them back please.

It is not fun. A lot of people hate it like me. It does not give the same feeling as Core Tyria. A greater challenge they said. Better rewards they said. All I get is the same junk.

I have contacted Support. A couple of Game Masters replied to me that this issue has not been ignored. I’m leaning to believe them but it has been over a year and this issue, when compared to many others, it’s not something really hard to work on. If they manage to remove with such ease, why can’t they put it back? Some NPCs still have it and now the Human Females have a new bug related to their left arm which switches position everytime an animation ends.

I never got to see this idle in-game and it’s really sweet.

That’s interesting to know. At least you got a response. Good to hear. Gives me a tiny bit of hope.

IT IS NOT A LTP ISSUE. There is no build to counter back to back to back immobes. Or fear, then immobe, then knockdown with significant damage, then immobe again etc… It’s fun to play issue. I never said I can’t do it, or respawn, rally, or get; ressed. I can make it through all the meta events just fine on all the maps. It’s BORING and frustrating because in many of these situations you have very little control over it.

Harper and Yargesh, If you want to play that kind of content and YOU think it’s fun, good for you. Just like Mike O’Brien said about no one just plays world vs world, you are the minority in this game currently, as far as I can tell. There is a reason why my post is not the only one of it’s kind, and yours are a lot less common for HoT…

edit* And lets not forget this is all happening alongside a near constant spamming of condis, torment, and confusion by the mobs. Tell why does a tenderil have over 30K hitpoints with evasion? it’s absurdly stupid, not challenging

No they’re not in the minority, you are. Go look at all those topics you speak of. They are all met with the same L2P criticism. I’m an average player at best and I rarely die in HoT.

Trust me, these forums are definitely not a good gauge on what the majority opinion of the game is. A very small fraction of players come here.

Many people like housing in games too, or pretty toons, or many other aspects of fluff that add nothing to the game play…..I’ll agree with NonToxic on this one, just because something is up or down voted doesn’t change the nature of the argument. It’s very easy to rig up or down voting over a period of time.

25% movement speed.

Posted by: BIGHARSHNESS.3510

BIGHARSHNESS.3510

Guardian also can easily get perma swift. No need for +25%

Sorry, this is the worst argument ever. Yes we can get perma swiftness if we used a loot stick and waste all our utility slots for it. We want 25% movement to actually play content that isn’t a farm train. I have a hard time believing anyone that is ok with that statement actually plays guardian for something outside of world boss trains and shovel farms.

You should thanks those people, having some really really bad Players on DH will maybe show people that you can kill them hahaha

Highly agree!

I’m tired of stupid thieves talking crap in say chat that I only killed them because I’m using OP DH. And it definately isn’t the thousands of hours I have on guardian, and it’s not the fact a stupid thief decided to 1v1 a guardian.

I’ve been destroying thieves before DH was a concept. Poor argument on their part.

Guild boon disabled for non-HoT players

BIGHARSHNESS.3510

let me make an analogy

you pay 10$ for a gym membership (i know that’s cheap) that gives you access to all their machines and weights.
one day they upgrade the gym and include a swimming pool. to access the swimming pool you need to pay 10$ extra to access it.

But you don’t know how to swim so you don’t need to pay the 10$ extra to use the pool. so you keep paying your 10$.

Except now you can’t use the weights either on the gym floor, you can only use the machines. If you want to use the weights you need to pay for the pool

that is what is happening with HoT and the guild bonuses.
you paid 50$ to get the core that included guild bonuses.
you are not interested in the expansion so they remove the guild bonuses.

they did something similar to fractals.

To use your analogy, what they actually did was remove the freeweight room, and replaced it with a pool, then asked you for a one time fee to help cover the cost of the pool. You can still use the gym, just not the pool, and nobody can use the freeweight room because it no longer exists.

This is the best analogy of what happened.

If the problem is the occasional clipping with large shoulder pieces (WoW aesthetic…), then just rework it slightly and make them stretch the arms to the sides or forward. That would look badkitten actually.

EDIT: Somehow it filters the entire word to “kitten”. I modified it, it’s now atleast “badkitten”, so you can probably guess what I meant. But yes, it’s a positive word, not a swear word.

Seeing as everything clips on a Charr, the removal of animations shouldn’t be reason because a few skins clip. Otherwise, you’d have to remove the swimming animation too where shoulders clip into the face.

BIGHARSHNESS.3510

Its not the graphics setting, I’m sorry. If lowering it works for you that is great. I would believe this if the only places I crashed was HoT maps, but I am crashing everywhere and only on vital moments. Post Breach on SW, Last Burn on Teq, Zerg v Zerg EoTM. I’m having crashes in places I have played just fine for over the year I’ve owned this game. The old content I’m like whatever, but its infuriating in the new content to invest this much time into a map only to crash and reload into an empty unsuccessful map. I get demoralized and have to go do something else rather than start over for another hour and a half to probably crash again. I love the concept of the new maps, I love the meta chains, and I love the time you have to invest…. but please fix the crashes, and implement a process where you’re spot is saved for at least 3-4 minutes before someone else can get in on the map you were unluckily DCed from.

It could be a bug. I remember a little bit after SW first came out, the Annihilator stopped spawning and it wouldn’t spawn again until 2-3 months later. I posted about it in the bug form and despite a healthy amount of replies reporting the same problem, it never got a dev response even acknowledging that it was a bug. It just was fixed one day with no mention of it in the release notes. I would definitely still post about it in the bug forum.

Soloed it to the final encounter and got the updraft bug, then the mid air rift bug. My suggestion is to do it with a group. Plenty of people standing there looking for help right now. As long as the instance owner doesn’t die your chances are greater to beat the bugs. Plus the first two encounters were easy with help.

GW2 is play how you want… if people want to play it all as fast as they can, they can do that. They paid for the game just like you did. Honestly the story isn’t that long, and its not as gated as the core PS is now. You sound really self-righteous TBH.

I personally finished the story tonight because I don’t want the ending to be spoiled by some troll. Someone pretended to do that in map chat the other night by correctly stating one major event, and making up some others along with the end. For me, I wanted to get it out of the way to I can focus on playing the meta events on the new maps.

I highly doubt a lot of people “rushing through” the content is looking for recognition as you seem to perceive.

It was nice to see Forgal again. For a little while.
But what they did to Trahearne makes me never finish the story on any character ever again. I don’t even care for the rewards.
That part of the ending just stinks.
As for the egg:
My best guess is that Mordremoth’s death was like a chain reaction. Who knows? The jungle might be dying without Mordremoth, unless the mindless dragon’s body can survive on it’s own or act as a fertilizer.
Just think about it, Tarir was built as Glint’s legacy and the egg is part of that. Of course something would happen in that chamber. My hope for the egg is that it hatches. That’s all.

I’m pretty sure most people don’t like Trahearne… including myself. But they did a good job of making me feel bad for him in the end.

Why would you even use an dynamic event that is known to bug before HoT? Especially on the precursor that is arguably the most popular and sought after? I don’t have a problem with the xpac’s new content like a lot of people on this forum, but I do take issue with this. I can understand the Ulgoth bug, but Bashing Bauxite Alchemicals should have been fixed before it was even planned to be apart of this collection.

The mission concept is really cool, but it seems bugged. There were times where skills didn’t fire off or were heavily delayed causing me to die when the tendrils hit me with poison while trying to scale the cliff. That was the most frustrating part, after that it was fairly simple. Clearly it was a reskin of the aspect crystal abilities, but it needs a bit more fine tuning.

Sorry, everyone is just spoiled. You’re use to insta leveling a bunch of toons without any work required. Now that you cant tome or EoTM your way to something, you’re mad.

It’s not even that much work. Once you get all your masteries an reach the hero points you need, it’s pretty much a breeze with the rest of your characters.

Because you have 20+ alts with 3% map completion each, isn’t a reason for anet to lower the required hero points.

so, if I understand this right, the people are upset because they are not handed everything right out the gate?

Some might be, but that should have been unrealistic. No, there are many posts that explain the problem with this but if you want to dismiss people and their issues so easily, I suppose nothing that hasn’t already been said will explain it. Therefore I won’t bother to repeat it.

I basically what I am reading. People are upset they have to earn the stuff they want. It seem like common sense to me, that you have to earn it.

Exactly, and the best irony of all was how these same people were complaining about the small number of new maps. Now they are complaining about having to play through those maps.
