Guild Wars 2

Flying mounts would break the game, i pray that anet never add flying mounts to the game.

Actually the leather prices have been dropping a lot lately. I believe the best way to make gold is to just play the game (HoT meta events, do fractals each day and so on), but if you want the grind experience there is always silverwastes chest farm.

They got their 9 classes now, i doubt that they will release a new class. I also think its better for the game if they only release elite specs for now, and keep their focus on other stuff.

Reading the forums make it seem like the game is dying? you for real? The game is very much alive and is likely in the top 3 most populated mmos out atm, likely right under wow and ff14. The game is getting constant updates, and it’s to the point where i as a student can’t keep up with it. Enough with these “game is dying” threads, they got no ground what so ever. When you got a 200 people queue just to get into wvw the game is far from dying.

Can totally get what you’re saying man, I also enjoy making alts a lot, I just have the small problem that whenever I make an alt I need to have them be in the best gear possible (Just ascended) and have world completion on them. As mentioned previously in other comments, they will like raise the character cap with the new expansion, which hopefully shouldn’t be that long.

If they don’t add mounts in the next expansion they are never going to add mounts. Just wait and see.

Obvious troll guys, seems like the forum moderators are getting lazy. You all got baited big time.

Wouldn’t be afraid to say that I believe gw2 have gotten more content these far few months than we got with season 1 and 2. I men, we have already gotten 4 new maps along with associated story, 2 new fractals, the huge rework for pvp, 2 new pvp maps and so on. Raiding is fine, and it was needed. Tbh we should all be thankful for the elitist’s since they are the ones spending all their money on the game. I used to know a guy who bought a huge amount of gems and then converted all the gems he got to around 3k gold, Idk about you but I would never do that. Well my point is, eventhough i dont raid, i think raiding was a very good addition to the game, and until now it doesn’t seem like it hurts any other content in the game.

I farm berries in Bitterfrost frontier every day, and yesterday there was quite a heated discussion in map chat between people who had been reporting people for AFK farming and some of the people that had/were doing it on a regular basis.

For those of you who don’t know about this, it’s where you login onto your necro/ranger and stand on a somewhat profitable place while using auto attack and minions to kill mobs while AFK.

Now for some reason people think this is ok even though Chris Cleary wrote 9 months ago, that it was punishable and exploity behavior.

Thought I would just remind you guys about what he said so many months ago, because I see increasingly more people doing this every day.

Just thought some of you might have needed a reminder and a warning before you start doing this. I know that arenanet have no interest in banning their players.

And no i am not kitten over this, i only made this post because there is a lot of false information out there, which is in my eyes very understandable since the only clear answer about this was made in a forum post 9 months ago.

Good day guys, cya in game ^^

Asking the important questions here. Where are the effin horses? Wanna hear your crazy ideas guys. Where did all the horses go? As you can see they have clearly been here.

Hey guys, I am going to make a legendary so I will of course need a lot of gold, and I was wondering what the best farm is now? Is sw chest farm the most profitable, or is there some other better way of making gold now? I usually only farm when I want to make a new legendary, which I rarely do, and last time I made one I farmed tarir ml (Pls don’t ban me for exploiting anet). No funny guy posts about buying gems and converting them to gold Pls.

Made a post about this on the bug forum not long ago. Seems like its an old problem, and some people say that they have had it for months. Can’t believe anet havent done anything about it yet because it is completely gamebreaking for the ones that have it. I wont be playing untill i know it is fixed.

edit:
Should maybe let people know that this doesnt have to do with connection or my keyboard. Im 100% sure that this isnt an issue caused by lag. My keyboard isnt brokenr and work fine in every other game than gw2.

Been talkign a bit to people ingame and seems like a lot of people are having this problem and some even say that they have had it for months, cant belive that arenanet havent addressed this yet. Was trying to do the new story instance few minutes ago and the bug is completely game breaking. Wont be playing untill it is fixed, but i guess that can take many more months. Not happy.

So i wrote about this problem some time ago on the forums, but i didnt get a clear answer on how to fix it, but luckily it had seemed to have fixed itself the next time i logged in and i havent had any problems with it since… Well, untill today. The keys doesnt respond to when i press them, and the problem seem only occur when playing Gw2. Sometimes i have to triple press keys just to make them respond and then other times it works fine. My keyboard is a ligitech G710+ and it isnt more than a year old.

Would like to know if anyone have experienced the same problem and if it can be solved.

So, I have noticed this bug or whatever it is not more than 2 days ago. My keys seem to not respond at times when I press them, but then work again if a double tab them. At first I thought the problem was with my keyboard, but I don’t seem to have any problems in other games than gw2. My keyboard is a Logitech G710+ and not more than a year old. Would appreciate any kind of help I can get with it because it makes playing the game almost impossible.

I’m sorry guys, but I don’t think we will get anymore playable races. Anet has surprised lately though, so maybe… But I think the chances are very low, so don’t get your hopes too high.

Now here are my idea guys, and it might be a silly one, and that’s why I want to hear yours as well.
So the thing that would be hard about build templates is gear, runes, sigils, weapons etc. Now on my way home from school today, I watched this video about build templates in pvp, but I think that a lot of us really want templates for pve and wvw, so this is what I thought of.

I know a lot of you already know what the idea of build templates is, and it is about swapping gear and traits on the fly without having to manually do it right?

Let’s say we would have some sort of bank, let’s call it an armory. This armory should be for gear and gear only. In this armory we should be able to store weapons and armors for our individual characters, again sort of like a bank but souldbound. When we want to swap we simply pick the build we want to use along with the gear we will be using for the specific build, this will then be transferred to our character, and the old gear will be placed back in the armory for when we want to swap builds again. The default armory would have about 20 slots, enough to hold the gear you have on and at least 1 more full set, and if we would want to expand on this we would be able to buy armory expansions from the gemstore, sort of like when you buy a bag slot.

I know a lot of you are thinking that if this was the case we would have to buy new armor, runes, sigils and weapons for our each of our characters to use, but is this really a problem? I know it is expensive and all but most of us already have at least 2 sets of gear for our mains already, so i don’t see why this would be a problem. Also it is important to note that this of course doesn’t have to be ascended gear.

Now I personally think that the hard part of having build templates in pve and wvw is the gear, and i think this sorts that out, and also in a way so that arenanet can make a profit on it.

Another good thing about this is, doesn’t arenanet already have a lot of the tech down for doing this? I mean, we are able to store mats in the material storage on the fly so why not gear? The harder part would be having the right gear transferred to us while being out where the crows turn, but I’m sure anet can find a way.

Again guys, this idea is most likely very silly, and I also know that getting this to work in the game is a lot harder than it seems, which is also why I want you guys to tell me your ideas. Pls don’t shoot me down right away, remember that this was just something I thought of on my way home from school. Pls discuss, i want to hear your guys ideas.

Wouldnt really expect a new “meta” reward man, at least if its a thing like winters presence. I think they will just do nightfury again, and then maybe add some new weapons and skins that you can either buy for candycorn or get via rng from trick or treat bags. I am excited for halloween though, fav time of the year in gw2 ^^

There is clearly problems with guardians, and it seems very similar to 2 seasons ago when everyone were playing nec. Now before you say that i am a noob and that i dont know how to evade and kitten, i have played against pro players before and hit legendary twice. Now i havent played much pvp this season, mainly because i am starting to get bored of it, but when half of the playerbase switch to guard its either because it has some kind of flaw in the design, or because it takes no skill to play and it is easy to climb with.

If you happen to be playing in eu id love to help you out, just send me an ingame message when i am online

Uhm, you can buy it for karma… How hard can it be to get. As for the champtrain arenanet did say they would focus on exploration, and personally i like those kinds of maps more than sw and bloodstone fen.

Something with an “S”.

Why discuss it? You will find out in 4 days anyways

With living world and Primordus moving south, and with him being heavily indicated as being the next dragon we have to fight, I wonder… I have always believed that the next expansion would either take us to the Crystal dessert or up north, but with Primordus moving south I don’t know anymore. Personally I don’t see Cantha as an option and would personally get really disappointed if we got Ember bay now and the rest of the fire islands maps in next expansion. So my question to you guys is, where do you think we will go in the next expansion? And will Primordus play a role in this, or will Anet take a 180 turn and take us somewhere else?

Other mmos have been doing the same as anet for years, a good example of this could be Wow. Seriously guys, guild wars isnt a free to play game, arenanet need the money to be able to make the content that we love. If they didnt make the xpack have an impact on the pvp side of the game, you would basically be able to play the game, at least the pvp side, without ever having to buy the actual game. If you enjoy playing the game you should have bought the xpack by now, if you havent you should probably play something else. Hot is almost a year old nowand saving up 50 euro/$ really isnt that hard.

I sure hope not since i already deleted all mine for more bank space.

Personally I don’t give 2 kittens about living world season 3, and i was more excited of the changes the July quarterly update might have brought to the game, but sadly we might not even get anything. It’s sad watching a game you love and have put so much time in die out, but I guess this was going to happen eventually anyways. Now don’t misunderstand the previous sentence, all I meant was that with guild wars 2 as it is now it might as well be dead. But that’s just my opinion, I’m not going to speak for the majority.

Don’t they usually patch the game at 1 am gmt+1 when the game resets? I noticed the pvp season ended and there was no patch. Well tbh I don’t really care if the patch will be small or big, it won’t live up to what people expect, and as it is now I just want to see the world burn. xD Seriously though, I’m wondering what effect this seemingly endless content ‘drought’ will have to the game if anet don’t do something soon Idk, I find this whole situation interesting.

Isn’t the gyro the scrappers keymachanic, and I’m not talking about the other gyros but the function gyro. Wouldn’t removing it completely mean that the other classes new keymachanics due to elite specs should be removed as well? Like tempest overloads, reapers reapershroud, berserkers berserk, daredevils extra dodge, chronomancer’s continuum split, druids astral force, dragonhunters new virtues (be replaced with the old ones) and heralds facet of nature. Don’t say that gyros are the engi keymachanic because they are just skills, like the dragonhunters traps or the tempests shouts Sure the gyro might need a nerf, but removing it fully is crazy and would demand either the scrapper getting a new profession mechanic on par with the other classes profession mechanics or they should have theirs removed as well.

Its very easy to get the armor guys, like seriously. If you want it that badly go do sw cf for an hour or kill the vinewrath, you will get the pieces in no time.

I just started playing as well, after having been playing overwatch the past few days, and I made it to ruby in like 1 or 2 days. It just seem like you have been a bit unlucky with matchmaking, but it is bound to get better if you just keep going.

This is kinda funny considering necro’s position in season 2. Warrior wont be changed before the season is over, so just live with it for now, like we lived with the state of necro last season.

Balance is the same as it always have been. I’m pretty sure you remember wrong sorry. This is an old problem and a lot of people keep complaining about it, but anet wont do anything about because it will take too much work, at least i think that was their excuse last time.

Of course things like mechanics and cooldowns would be weird to balance between gamemodes and will probably be the course of a lot of confusion, but things like traits and general scaling should be a good very needed fix to the game, and will maybe in the long term make it so that anet will use less time trying to fix broken classes and traits.

What you just described was the perfect world, but it isn’t gonna happen and if it does people are still gonna complain about not getting out of amber, emerald, sapphire etc too.

Here is what needs to be done before any of that can happen. First people need to realize guild wars isn’t lol or overwatch, it wasn’t designed solely for the purpose of pvp, and if you change a trait that is op in pvp it will effect all game types, and might be a change for the worse in some of them.

Before any of what you talked about should be changed, they should separate pvp balance from wvw and pve, but this will never happen and guild wars will never be lol, overwatch or dota. The developers crippled themselves when they chose not to separate balance, and they are still too blind to see that it was the wrong thing to do.

As for the QQ about playing with bad players i can only say get good. I carry a lot of games on my warr atm, last season i carried a lot of games on my ele. If youre stuck in the joke people call mmr ‘hell’ join a pvp guild or play with a friend or 2. Guild wars 2 is still an mmo and was meant to be played with other people.

I know that some of you are currently complaining about the state of warrior, but i still think that the state of pvp right now is a step in the right direction. Now i wont speak to much of this because i’m in the middle of my exams and haven’t had time to play (i even uninstalled the game, what an idiot -.-"), but 8 out of 9 classes in the meta! This is a huge step in the right direction, and i know there are still big problems like build diversity, balance between game modes etc., but compared to the last 2 seasons it seems like they made some huge improvements in this one.

I know its still early and a lot can change, but personally i’ll be looking forward to climbing my way to legendary this season, and maybe, maybe experience some more diversity in terms of classes played.

Well done ANet, now you need to make sure guard gets some love too.

Jesus guys, to all of you complaining that this will ‘kill’ warrior… warriors been dead for a long time, but if you want to keep your condi warr alive, you can just use carrion… same stats, you will just give up the toughness. I think removing merc amulet was a good move, just gave you too much of everything.

And what does this mean? Well means that legendaries spend more time on the forums than actually playing the game, and that a lot of the ruby players come here to QQ about mmr. At least this is what i got from this.

Would be nice if they could actually make a leaderboard that showed the division rank of the player base, so that you could see exactly how easy it is getting to legendary. Because right now it just seems like half the game are in legendary div, and it isn’t really an indicator of actual skill at all.

Well tbh, my only problem with rev is how it makes my warrior completely useless in pvp. Sure damage is about the ‘same’, even though the cooldowns on some rev skills are far to short, looking at the amount of damage they give out… Revs just have more utility, more dps and more sustain than a warrior (counting on berserker stance and endure pain isn’t really a good option)… Sure dps on burn warrior is good, and its even better on gunflame warr, but still, it just seems VERY lackluster compared to the utility and dps that the rev offers.

Here is what i think would be the best scenario, when viewed from a pvp standpoint. Nerf all classes except warrior, thief and maybe guard. Give eles the option to go dps, without being squishy as kitten. I think queue times would be too high i you went with the “only one class of the same type, per team, per game” idea, but something needs to be done, and atm there are only 7 classes in pvp (thief and ele is split in 2 halves and warrior doesnt count as a class :P)

Dont get me wrong, i arent hating on rev for being ‘op’, and i myself played op classes to get to legendary, primarily ele support, necro and engi. But i still dont like the fact that the current balance and the current classes, make other classes completely useless. NO class is tankier than engi, NO class give the amount of physical damage that the rev does, NO class can compete with necro when you look at the amount of condies it gives and NO class even come close to compete with the ele when looking at support/healing.

The problem isnt the one thief on your team, because one thief isnt a problem and can be good to have. but… The problem is when you have 2 thieves and none of them want to swap. 2 thieves and you can basically go afk right away. Ok, to be fair i have actually won one game where i had 2 thieves, but that was also my first and only time.

But i guess that actually goes for any class. People who cant swap to an alt, shouldnt be higher than ruby. I play 3 classes, ele, engi and necro. The least you can do is play both a support class like ele and ranger, and a high damage class like rev, nec or guard.

Sorry, I don’t know what world you live in, but in my world ele is crazy strong, and “every” esl player knows that… sure in a 1v1 or 2v2 an ele won’t do you much good, but it is essential in most team fights no matter what the enemy team comp is. I main ele, and I almost don’t ever swap unless there are more than 1 ele on my team, and I play both necro and engineer aswell, and I would pick an ele over a another necro anytime. Necs are just to brain dead and easy to counter atm. But this is just the opinion of another diamond player. Actually the only problem I have atm, I’d people who don’t know how to position or sustain themselves, claiming that they are dying because of my lack of heals… -.-" see that really fires me up, but what can you do..?

You people are far to fast, you’re trying to rush it… you have like 1 month and 17 days left, take it slow. I hit ruby yesterday because I rushed it, and I don’t find playing as fun anymore. Ill probably find a series to watch and then come back in a couple of days. Nobody cares about a tag anyways :P

There is too many wp’s in Gw2 for mounts to be useful…. which btw i find pretty sad :/
With that said i think it will be hard to make mounts fit in to the core world of tyria…

Hmmm, i agree with you when talking solo queue, but if you either have a guild or or at least a friend or two to play with, it really makes a huge difference. Also it gets a lot easier once you get out of amber division, and move up in sapphire and emerald, you can really feel that players are more experienced than in amber league, which also makes solo queue easier and basically more fun to play.
