Guild Wars 2

Hi there. I recently started a Power Rangers themed Guild and am currently looking for players to join. The guild name is Ranger Nation(GGPR).

The way the guild works is:
1) Choose your favorite Power Ranger that you want to play.
2) Create a character named after them. I.E. Red Dino Ranger(referring to Dino Thunder)

So far, Mighty Morphin Blue and Black Rangers are taken by myself and best friend, respectfully.

Rangers from the same season will be placed on a team together for the purpose of raids and PvP. That being said, anyone from any team can do anything they want together.

There is a condition for anyone wishing to play a Ranger from Mighty Morphin, the names are based on the Super Sentai version of the show, so the characters follow this format: The Color Zyuranger.

Lahmia.2193:

Spirits were already transformed into engi turrets. Spirit weapons were transformed into those ghastly guardian spirit weapons. Not much left to use.

Turrets took the mechanic, but that can easily be changed by making Spirits mobile. And spirit weapons and actual Spirits aren’t really the same thing. Considering the overhaul Anet did for Mesmers and how different they are from GW1, I’m sure they would have no problem doing to same to Ritualist. Plus, it’s only an Elite Spec, so they wouldn’t have as much to do.

yumee.1405:

hum … no?
You know that the game is already really heavy and that there’s a lot of lags on both side. Also, shins is a kinda heavy graphic part, if all eles were changing colors and armor when there switch attunment it would kill servers basicaly (wvw servers for sure but even pve ones)
And it’s useless basicaly.

What does that even mean? “Really heavy.” And how would being able to change your characters look by pressing a single button kill servers? We already do that. When you go into wardrobe and change your clothes, it doesn’t take effect until you hit submit, then your armor changes its look. Literally all this is is having preset looks that change with your attunement. It wouldn’t kill servers.
And it’s for increased customization, it’s not supposed to have a use.

Since ANet has confirmed Elite Specialization are going to be the way Professions are changed and “new professions” are introduced into the game from this point out, I thought I would bring up a Profession many people have wanted to make a return. The Ritualist. and I have some ideas on how it could work.

Elite Spec: Ritualist
New Skill Type: Spirit. The Ritualist’s companions from the Underworld.
Profession Mechanic: Spirit Shroud. The Ritualist’s connection to the Mists grow exponentially, allowing them to hold ground in both planes. In this form, the Ritualist can rip the spirit out of their enemies.
Weapon: Torch. Burn your foes with Spiritfire.

Having traveled to Tyria in the company of the Order of Whispers, Ritualists from Cantha give insight into the Mists to any Necromancer who wishes to learn.

Anet, please make this a reality.

So, I’ve given this a lot of thought, and I have some ideas on how to make the Elementalist a more creative profession.

1) Armor Color. I think it’d be really cool to have four sets of armor color tied to each element. Imagine attuning to fire and your armor turns red and orange, then attuning to water and your armor turns to shades of blue.

2) Armor Sets. Taking color a step further, what about an entirely different armor set for each element. Now, I don’t mean needing to buy four sets of armor, but having four sets of armor looks, one for each element.

3) Weapon Sets. Of course we can’t talk about armor without talking about weapons. As almost everyone knows, there are two staves that have been brought from the original Guild Wars, namely Emberspire and Monsoon, originally the Fire Staff and Water Staff. I think we can all agree that it would be awesome to attune to fire and our staff change into Emberspire, and then attune to water and our staff turn into Monsoon.

Hopefully ANet will see this and implement it into the game.

I’m not happy the update isn’t out either, but kitten happens. A storm happened. They can’t do anything about that. Stop being crybabys and shut up. You’re all pathetic.

WatcherJason.2678:

I don’t understand why people praise Anet for kittening up this hard and wasting everyone’s time. The outage was yesterday, if you knew you were not going to release today kittening say so 8 hours ago.

They didn’t mess up, a storm hit them, you idiot.

So what you guys going to do for the players? What we getting ? some gems would be nice :P

You’re asking for gems? Really? We don’t deserve anything for the delay. kitten happens, not being a child about it.

Maybe YOOU don’t , you don’t speak for every player sir. Sorry .

No one deserves anything, you self righteous jerk. We didn’t lose anything for not getting to play today. For gods sake, it’s free content.

Was it that hard to say this earlier? You’ve really wasted so much of peoples time and energy by not saying this earlier.

Jhoul.6923:

You should have said this before!!!

RoCkEt LaUnChEr.5893:

Maybe you should’ve made this statement about 4h ago ,speaking as an EU player

all of you should re-think what you saying…. for kitty sake… make a game…. try to make it stable for world wide , realese patches every 2 months with content… and then complain….

Your Kitty saltiness is boring… whiners and cry baby all over forum because patch didnt go live today… end of the kitty world… be happy that servers are still running and u can play the game.

No, first of all the information was out there already, but anet worked in “good hope” and us without information having many people waiting for hours, and taking a day off tomorow (more like today now), while not having any idea themselves if they can even make it at all. They should have just set the release date to friday since they can be sure to release it there, and tell us so in a timely manner. The way this was handled is extremely unprofessional.

Edit: As it stands now they wanna repeat this charade tomorow as well….
Just set it to friday, or next week even.

Or people shouldn’t plan their day around a video game and play it when they have time. And if they have to make time, make it for after the content is already out, not before. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

To the people complaining about this message not being made earlier, shut up. Stop being crybabys. What time or energy did you waste by not playing the game? Idiots.

Okay, so, I bought a Sigil of Momentum, a Sigil of Bloodlust, a Sigil of Life, and a Sigil of Undead Slaying in prepuration for running Arah. All are Superior. I put Momentum on my Shield, Bloodlust on my Sword, and Life and Undead Slaying on my Staff. I’m playing a Guardian. I went into an area and started killing things, but only Momentum was giving me stacks. Bloodlust wasn’t giving me stacks. And when I switched to my Staff, Life wasn’t giving me any stacks. I know what Sigils don’t stack with other Sigils of the same kind, but do they also not stack with other Sigils that give stacks?

I really hope that when we go to fight Bubbles, the water Elder Dragon, that the Largos will become a playable race. We know so little about them, and that makes them the perfect candidate for a new playable race.

I think you mean Heart of Thorns.

Dainank.1308:

Question: Do you get an extra charecter slot opun purchasing heart of the thorns, as there is a new profession?

Thank You!

If they do what they did with the original Guild Wars, then yes, expect to get at least 1 additional character slot for your Revenant.

If they do what they did with expansions in the original Guild Wars, then yes, we will get bonus character slots. 1-2 to be specific. We got 2 because there were 2 new professions, so expect to get 1 new character slot at least.

It’s 2015. Coming up with something that 100% OC is nearly impossible.

TannerPR.8450:

I imagine that there will be a brand new tutorial for each race with new questions during character creation and a whole new Personal Story for characters made after HoT release to go with the whole living story

I hope so. I’m going to be pretty disappointed if I have to choose between the same character customization options as before, instead of getting new ones.

I will definitely be buying the expansion. I just hope that when you go to make a Revenant, you won’t have to start in the same place and follow the same story as we’ve been playing, because it’s gotten really boring. A new starting area and story is what I’m hoping for. I plan on making a Human Revenant, and if I have to start in Divinity’s Reach and choose from the exact character customization options as every other Human I already have, I’m going to be very disappointed. I have 3-4 humans, so I’ve played just about every mission a human can play. I don’t want to play them again.

I will be making a Male Human Revenant.

A new race would of been nice but it would be an enormous amount of work. This isn’t like WoW where the armour skins are horrible and are basically low polygon pieces. Even to make the new race fit all the current armour pieces would be such a massive undertaking.

I don’t think people really understand how much work goes into creating new content like a playable race. New zone, New voice acting, New character customisation, refitting armour (and New cultural armour), New living story, New lore, New animations for each class and all their abilities…

Yeah, that’s why we’d pay them to do it…

I have to agree. They wouldn’t be putting all that effort out for nothing. We would be paying them to do it.

I find many of the choices pertaining to Animal Companions to be very bad choices. Like having 4 pigs. What is the reason for having 4 pigs when we could have a Raptor?

Saiyan.1704:

sorry if in wrong thread
I’ve noticed people getting very creative with their dyes and armor skins. Just a few days ago I saw a Norn dressed as “The Incredible Hulk” and looked very awesome. It would be cool if there was a fan-based section depicting different cosplays, listing several entwined armor sets and dyes. The thread can pick a monthly winner for best costume and be put in the gem store for visual appearance, listing the person’s armor sets, dyes, etc. Additional gem store promos can influence player customization.
Would love The Hulk fighting Iron Man in a match some day

Although i’m not entirely sure if it’s legal for Anet to physically say, or post, marvel characters, i’m sure there’s a cosplay legality there somewhere :P

That’s a really cool idea.

Personally, the game would get a hundred times better if they added some of the more famous and iconic dinosaurs. At the very least, they should bring back the Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops.

Since this topic was revived:

ARENANET HAS HEARD YOUR PLEA. DINOSAURS COME EPISODE 8.

That doesn’t look like a dinosaur. At least, not a real one. I really wish Anet wouldn’t mutate their dinosaurs. I understand that Tyria isn’t same the world, and creatures are going to have differences that their real life counterparts, but is it really necessary for them to look like mutants? That said, I am very happy that they are bringing back the dinosaurs. It was one of my favorite things about Eye of the North. Just wish they would let us have dinosaurs as Animal Companions.

DarcShriek.5829:

BerriosC.7295:

New Animal Companions: Elephants, Bats, Lions, Tigers, Crocodiles, Orcas, Dire Wolves, Gorillas, Pandas, Rhinoceros, Snakes(Anaconda/Python), Horses, Zebras, Komodo Dragon, Hippopotamus. There are millions upon millions of animals to choose from(still can’t believe 4 kinds of pigs were chosen and not Tiger, Lion, or Crocodile). Please, add more Animal Companions. New Shark breeds would be nice. Hammerhead and Tiger Sharks would be very nice additions.

Existing lore doesn’t really matter to you does it?

Lions, Tigers, and Crocodiles are Animal Companions from the original Guild Wars, so they exist in lore. Gorillas have been seen in Orr, Bats are seen all over Kryta, so they too exist in Lore. Dire Wolves already exist. Garm, Eir’s Animal Companion, is a black dire wolf. Sharks exist, so new breeds shouldn’t be a problem. We see whales in Lion’s Arch and up north, so Orcas aren’t an impossibility. We have bears, so Pandas are very possible. Elephants, Rhinoceros’, Snakes(Anaconda/Python), Horses, Zebras, Komodo Dragons, and Hippopotamus’ are the only ones that are questionable at the moment, and most of them could be added if Elona is brought back, seeing as Elona is based on Africa, and Elephants, Rhinoceros’, Pythons, Zebras, and Hippopotamus’ are all native to Africa.

So, yes, I’ve taken lore into consideration, clearly more than you have.

They really need to bring back dinosaurs, and not those weird mutations from Eye of the North. Legit dinosaurs. Tyrannosaurus, Spinosaurus, Triceratops, Brontosaurus, Stegosaurus, Ankylosaurus. There are thousands upon thousands of dinosaurs to choose from. And they should make small versions for Animal Companions. I would LOVE to have a Spinosaurus or Triceratops as an Animal Companion. It would be AMAZING.

And as far as where to put them, create an island in the Unending Ocean for them to be on, like Jurassic Park. It could be called Isla de los Antiguos, which means “Island of the Ancients.”

A lizard-like playable race to go along with the island of dinosaurs would be awesome. I know it’s far fetched and doesn’t really have a place in Tyria, but it’s a harmless suggestion.

There are actually teaser images outthere that show dinos but of course when i need one i cant find it. So that wish should be fulfilled soon

Really? That’s awesome!

The post in https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/List-Of-Things-We-Want-In-Gemstore is off topic, so i will be deleting it.

As for the post in https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/New-Races-Classes-Weapons/page/2#post4649724, it was on topic, and there’s nothing wrong with trying to spread my thoughts to as many players as possible.

How about you try giving something constructive instead of questioning the number of times I post something.

New Shark breeds would be nice. Hammerhead and Tiger Sharks would be very nice additions.

New Weapons: Scythes, Whips, Spears, Tonfas, Crossbow, Eskrima Sticks, Bo Staves.
And expand the number of weapons each profession can use. I’d also like for the Elementalist to be able to have two weapon sets. I find myself needing to switch between my staff and double daggers very often, and weapons cannot be switched in combat. It’s very aggravating.

More Elite Skills. There are too few Elite Skills.

Expand on the Animal Spirits that a Norn can choose from in character creation. It’s canon that there are many more spirits besides Raven, Wolf, Bear, and Snow Leopard.
And make Elite Skills to go with them.

Make the Largos a playable race. The Largos are by far my favorite race in all of Guild Wars. They look amazing, and I want to know more about them. Opening up the Unending Ocean, giving the Largos a capital city, like Divinity’s Reach or Hoelbrak, and making them part of the overall story with the Elder Dragons would allow them to become an amazing playable race. It would also allow Bubbles to be incorporated into the Living Story after Mordremoth.

New Professions. Maybe not necessarily “new” professions, but bring back and revamp original Guild Wars professions. The Ritualist is my first suggestion. They could easily be incorporated into the game. Make Spirits like the Necromancer’s Minions. A healing spirit like the Blood Fiend for the Healing Skill Slot. A larger than normal spirit that when reactivated slams the ground, knocking up and interrupting nearby enemies. And make them mobile. Their immobility was annoying at times. And the Dervish would be very interesting to see be revamped for Guild Wars 2. The power to channel the Six Gods and take their form is awesome. I would love to be able to become Grenth or Balthazar. I realize it would be difficult to incorporate the Dervish into Guild Wars 2, seeing as there are 5 playable races, and the Dervish is specifically powered by the Human’s Six Gods. The Monk would also be cool to see revamped. As far as actual new professions, a Hemomancer/Blood Mage profession would be really cool. Or, trying to keep it PG, a Chi Mage. It could be released alongside Cantha, keeping with the Asian theme. A Shadow Mage profession would be amazing. Manipulating shadows and creating clones made of shadows would be fun. A new heavy armor profession based on manipulating metal would be pretty bad kitten too.

And for the Elementalist, make their armor change color based on the element they are attuned to. For example, when I attune to fire, my armor changes to red, and when I attune to water, my armor changes to blue. I feel weird using fire when my armor is blue, or water when my armor is red.

I was unable to find a thread for this so I made a new one.

I have a lot of ideas that would make the game even better.
