Guild Wars 2

OMG I am having such a great time lol!

Sorry that you aren’t enjoying the joke. Anet is famous for their April Fool’s day pranks. One time in GW1, we were nothing but stick figures. It was hilarious too, in case you are wondering…

If you turn off your postprocessing in your graphic settings, the septia screen and old-timey microphone sounds (no idea what else to call it) will be gone. Then you can mute your game sound so you don’t hear the airplane noises. Your arms will still be stuck straight out but this is just for 24hrs.

I crash when I try to buy /sell, click on the trading post tab…

Same here

If ANet selects, they’ll have to be prepared to weather a storm of criticism from the people who think they’re already out of touch with the community.

If you leave it up to a Forum “vote” here, then you will only be getting the opinion of the forum-goers. (Not to mention you will have to MANUALLY tally up the results, and many people will chime in multiple times. No control.)

As I suggested in the other thread:

During the Beta testing, we were given little in-game questionnaires to help you guys decide what people liked, and disliked, and what needed work. That seems like a good way to reach a nice, sizable spectrum of gamers. Do you think your little questionnaire program could be adapted to quiz the community on their desires?

You can control that each account gets to vote only ONE time. Offer a checklist of “hot topics” we’d like to see addressed. Your computers can quickly tally up what topics are the most important to the community as a whole, not just the forum-goers.

Easier. Faster. More representative.

This is a great idea!! Forgot all about those little surveys until I read this post

Okay… so I just thought it was a corny I like you like a sister… but… you’re telling me Leslies?

I guess you missed this from the tail end of the first Living Story:

Mister Midnight.9837:

It’d be alright to have your GMPCs if the PCs got just as much spotlight as they did, but we don’t. We’re referred to in these off-hand ways. Last I checked we’re supposed to be the Commander of a worldwide alliance that killed an Elder Dragon. Not the GMPC’s “friend”.

As a side note, your two female characters Marjory and Kasmeer are becoming extremely grating. I absolutely do not like having to stand there for unskippable dialogue and wait for these awful pet names and painfully forced gushing to end. It’s completely incongruous to what is going on around you. In case you guys forgot, a whole lot of people died a horrible death and there’s looters all over this mass grave.

It’s getting real tiring watching the dungeon master wax on about his NPCs while we all wait for our turn to speak, you know what I’m saying? Whatever happened to those great one-on-ones from the Personal Story?

Whatever happened to us mattering at all?

THIS!! So much this!! When Marjory said “friend”, I ACTUALLY looked around…then I realized she was referring to me. LS2 is suppose to be a continuation of the Personal Story, my personal story. Aren’t I The Pact Commander, Slayer of Zhaitan, Ender of Scarlet? And I’m standing beside Tyria’s greatest detective, at the beginning of a huge mystery, surrounded by a peaceful population’s crash site trying to piece together what happened! Felt like a third wheel watching these two gushing over each other…

I would have been fine with their gushing if it happened in Brisbane, before we cross over into Dry Top and discover the crash site.

Personal Story spoilers

Bottom line is that, at the beginning of the Pact (almost 2 years ago in-game time), you were “The Commander.” After Zhaitan was killed, the Pact continued on and you went off into the world to do stuff. At that point, other commanders were brought on, and you become “A Commander.” And you became a commander who had lots of other things to do besides running an army that was repairing, preparing, and stocking up for the next big battle with the Elder Dragons. We could not build a story on that alone, not a good one that made sense, not considering where we want the story to take you. Any time anyone calls you “The Commander” now, it’s someone being nostalgic. It’s perhaps more correct to say you were “The First Commander.” That helps us explain why you’ve been running around the world saving people as opposed to being locked in a war room with Trahearn. I’ll see what I can do to get this explanation into the game.

I see what you are saying Angel. From my point of view, I was seeing it more as building a resume like a Norn builds their legend. What qualifies me to investigate the crash? Brought the 3 orders of Tyria together, killed an elder dragon (something even Destiny’s Edge didn’t do), etc. I haven’t been doing much with the Pact because it hasn’t needed my direct attention atm as Trahearne was handling it. But lets be honest, he can’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag and if some major butt-kicking was needed, I’d have a little carrier pigeon bring me some mail

PS Thanks for not locking me in a little room with him! I wouldn’t be able to control my fire-bug tendencies lol!

I think the problem all started when people started AP checking. Some groups won’t run with people who have <5000AP – therefore those people aren’t given the opportunity to learn how to have a smooth run.

As far as runs go, my guildies and I run various dungeons and usually have to pick up a pug (sometimes two). We don’t care what their AP is, nor do they have to be 80 – they just have to be the minimum level for exp mode of the particular dungeon we’re running.

If we get someone with a lot of AP – they ask nothing, say nothing, we smash everything, they leave.

If we get someone with low AP – they usually ask a bunch of questions, die a bunch, apologize for dying a bunch, we have a laugh, we explain what we are doing and why, they catch on quick and we smash everything. Then, we all exchange pleasantries and go our separate ways. This is pretty enjoyable TBH and adds literally 5mins extra to the run. Few things to note: we ALWAYS run with a support guardian (he runs around and never die it seems) who we assign the pug to (“if you run past the guard, you have gone too far” & “guard will rez you”); the 3-4 of us can easily carry someone through the dungeon; we do not pug Arah.

I would say maybe 5% of the time we get some jerk with no AP, no gear and no personality telling us what to do and pulls the entire room on us. We back off, let him die, stay in combat so he can’t WP and then kill whatever it is we’re killing. They’ll only do it twice before they learn lol!

in your game chat type: /wiki

It will pull up the official website for you and you can find almost everything you need to know about GW2.

I don’t understand why the pre-events for the metas start if it’s not time for the ACTUAL meta. I followed Gamarien around for 5 minutes (because I seen it was active) for what turned out to be no reason. It’s just confusing.

I have no idea where the schedule is. I know it was posted on a blog somewhere…It should be in game.

It is nice to see all the maps with tons of people on them. Makes it feel like launch all over again…minus the 50 million commander tags everywhere

Asuran for sure!! And Elite Kurzick!!

I laughed so hard! At first, I thought the box of fun I was standing beside at the time, did something to me without me interacting with it. But after I looked around, I realized everyone had huge heads! So funny!!

I haven’t laughed this hard at an ANet April Fool’s joke since I was the mini and of course this…

I have been running TA and using my tokens to buy the level 65 rare light armour from the armour vendor (30 tokens each) and then salvaging it. I also kill dredge in the lower portion of Dredgehaunt Cliffs. They drop miner’s bags which have a chance to contain linen scraps and rugged leather sections.

Hoping others comment because these methods are relatively slow…

Don’t worry guys, Kasmeer’s hiccups are gone…THANK THE SIX we got that
resolved <.<

The whole thing has been shrouded in too much mystery for my tastes and I hoped that they would have answered so many more questions to really wrap this up.

The LS was boring, the characters were boring and so, keeping with the theme, the final party was boring.

I must admit, when I seen poor little Tiami limp into the bar, I was all “OH NO!! She shouldn’t be walking in her condition!!” and just wanted to throat-punch someone for Scruffy not fitting through the door. Most emotion I’ve had for the LS to date.

Thank you so much for organizing this!! Got my achievement!! The MOA’s thank you!!

Dresdoe.7503:

there simply are no interesting male characters, they’re all flawed, horribly flawed even Braham has mommy issues.

OMG! He DOES have mommy issues!! Which can only mean, he isn’t upset that Rox is going to leave because he’s in love with her, he’s upset because he has abandonment issues! I had high hopes for this relationship but now I’m just sad…

My issue with these achievements is that they are considerably more difficult to earn (need to dodge marionette while dealing with a skilled champion AND successfully cut the chain) and tied to temporary content.

If they were attached to the new wurm instead, I would love the challenge. The new achievements for Triple Trouble are ridiculous easy in comparison. I have 9/10 already and it’s permanent…

jboegz.8371:

Are we going to see Bloomanoo and Peneloopee get married in Lion’s Arch? There’s some heavily romantic dialogue between those two at Thunder Ridge Camp.

How many posts does it take to make this happen!!!

LA has all that water that could easily handle a Quaggan wedding. THERE BETTER BE Quaggans singing….and dolphins…lots of dolphins….

Ahhh…feels nice to be able to breathe and relax. Take all the time you need ANet because this girl’s got Blaze things to do…

Kincaidia.3192:

Except that cloth wearers are having to buy a disproportionate amount of materials compared to the other armor classes.

The discussion isn’t the idea of time-gating, it’s that it’s badly distributed time gating.

It’s going to cost a mesmer 100+ more gold to bypass the time gate that it would a thief. And that is straight out mental disfunction there.

My thoughts exactly!! Also, Mithrillium and Elonian Cord have been craftable since ascended weapons came out. Heavy and medium classes who have been crafting them for weeks now, waiting on the release of ascended armor, will only be time-gated on Damask to finish their sets.

This I believe sums up a lot of frustration people are having.

I barely slept last night I was so excited….then – THIS!!!! This video is EXACTLY what I have experienced so far. What happened to my SAB??!!! I am currently stuck at W2:Z3 because I don’t have enough baubles to buy a torch?! Since when do you need to purchase items to complete content?? You gave me the PUSH glove…just saying. I would have lots of baubles but I spent a TON on continue coins as I have been at this for 4+hrs with my guildie. And since you were SO nice to change dig spots from World 1 and World 2:Z1 and replace them with a stupid chest with random amounts, I can’t hoard them like I used to. I am one of those people who lived in the box. Logged in today & got 2 skins & 2 mini Motos because I saved all my bauble bubbles. Hate to admit it, but I had to be carried through most of the new content. Between the rapids, OP assassins, endless poison dart traps and now an unpassable-mountain-without-a-torch-crap, I couldn’t stay alive long enough to round a corner.

Awesome video btw. Made me laugh when I needed it most. SAB made my guildie rage quit and made me cry :`(

Great idea!! Anet add this to dungeon paths for Dungeon Master too!!

• Every map will be invaded at least once per day, probably twice. In some cases, three times.
• Builds do not affect the rotation.
• The rotation is the same across all servers.
• If you play at the same time every day, you will see all 13 maps by the end of the Clockwork Chaos release.

I haven’t seen Timberline Falls since this started on Tuesday. Neither have any of my guild members. I did, however, see the 2 Dredgehaunts in a row today o.O Not to mention the multiple Firehearts and Sparkfly’s… I’ve managed to turn tracking this event into a job so how have I missed it?!

LOVE THIS CUTSCENE!!!
