It’s not that we see stuff return, it’s that the stuff we see in the trailer is all the annoying puzzle kitten of others mashed together. Looking at this trailer I can already imagine the same kind of “fun” we have in aetherblade and thaumanova.

Puzzle kitten

Let’s be honest this is more like a puzzle kitten:

Personally I’d rather see a bunch of new fractals added if only for some much needed variety after all this time. Adding this with a remix of old assets is horribly yawn inducing to me. Just my .02 don’t care much what anyone else thinks.

Yes! Absolutely. These are not in line with what we’ve come to expect for female Asura and Charr and further they don’t make sense for the anatomy.

Dara Potocska.8196:

I totally failed on properly discussing the MoTD today. So I have some information I think you’ll enjoy (or hope you and others enjoy) concerning it.

1. Whenever you log into game you will see the MotD broadcast to your chat for that guild you are representing at the time of log in.
2. Whenever you represent a guild you will see that guild’s MotD broadcast into your chat.
3. Whenever someone in your guild edits the MotD (they will need guild permissions to do this), you will see your guild’s MotD broadcast to the chat.

Also, to touch on the concerns about the size of the field for the MotD: The “Attributes” section I spoke of at end of stream will only be as wide as the roster tab. We will still have a fairly large field to work with for the message of the day. But should the player(s) miss the MotD, they will have that message broadcast to their chat each time they log in and represent, and when someone edits it.

I hope this is an encouragement and thank you for bringing the subject up. And thank you all for your feedback for the Guild Halls content and for joining us on the stream today!

That is great news but might I mention one more thing? I would love it if there was a chat command to display the message. Often when logging in it takes a minute or so to load in and sometimes my chat gets pretty spammed by the time I get to read it. I’m playing on a fairly old machine so that doesn’t help. Anyway maybe something like /motd ? Thanks for your time

The Knights of Ares [ARES] on Dragonbrand are recruiting.

If you are new to Guild Wars 2 or a seasoned Veteran, we have a spot for you.

We are a casual North American guild, that is filled with skilled players, many of whom have a lot of experience from other MMOs, and we are looking to expand. We are building a community not just a guild. A place built upon mutual respect between members. Where people can come to learn, help others, complete goals, make new friends or just hang out. We are mainly a PvE guild, but we also do WvW weekly. We have numerous members who enjoy PvP, and are looking to start guild teams with the upcoming PvP leagues. We will also be creating rosters for raiding and will be making progression on those when the time comes as well so please join us for that. A few of our leaders have extensive raid experience from other games and are looking forward to this exciting new challenge.

All of our leaders and officers are Dungeon Masters, so we know all the paths and can take people through dungeons effectively and efficiently. We do daily Dungeon runs, as well as high level & low level FoTM runs, to help our 200+ members with their progression or daily’s. We host a weekly Dungeon Mentoring event to help new players learn about dungeons and dungeon tactics. As well as weekly Bounty Hunts, Guild Rushs, Guild Challenges, Guild Puzzles, WvW Raids, and other in game events and contests!

We are very excited to also mention that we have been working hard these past few months to stockpile Two Million influence that will be able to be used to work towards the building and speeding up production of our Guild Hall!!

We provide our members with Experienced Leadership, Magic Find Bonuses, Experience Bonuses, Karma Bonuses, WvW bonuses, a Custom PvP Arena, a Voice Chat Server, and a Website for scheduling. As well as a Private Forum to post on if they need advice or have any requests.

We are an experienced team of North American, European & Australian members. But most of our player base is North American and we are busiest during prime time in the evenings and on the weekends.

We prefer that our members are on the Dragonbrand server, but we will accept anyone wanting a great experience or who wants to make new friends while learning about this great game. As the guild expands we will also be looking for additional Officers/Leaders who enjoy scheduling and running events, as well as teaching new members.

You must be 18 years of age or older. There are no minimum level requirements. All professions are welcome. Voice Chat is not required but it is recommended. Our only other rule is to treat fellow members with respect regardless of their rank.

Check out our Guild Trailer for some in game footage!

You can Contact Us or Apply on our Website, if you are interested in joining.
Or just mail/message one of us in game for an invite, or to answer any questions.

Leaders

- Dramen Maidria.1034

The VO for the Legends is too quiet. I tried adjusting all kinds of volume sliders in game but I just can barely hear what they are saying. Esp. amidst battle. I know this was something the developers were saying they were really excited about and I was looking forward to checking this out but I just think the VO needs to be adjusted louder or give us greater control with a slider?

Is anyone else having this issue?

Yeah this was something that I was struggling with as well. I came here to post about it. I asked around in guild and map chat and apparently a lot of others were coming across this issue as well.

Look, the name isn’t changing. Get over it. We’re all going to be calling them DH anyway.

Logged into these forums for the first time in over a year just to state that I wholly agree that these (and DM) need separate queues. If I want to play Stronghold I want to play it without having to worry about going through custom arenas.

I also did not receive my reward chest. Dragonbrand server.

As someone who also suffers from a degenerative genetic disorder, called Charcot Marie Tooth, I too was a bit surprised by the introduction of “little T” as I so affectionately refer to her. It wasn’t until I saw her move across the room though that it really hit me.

I was a very active kid. I played hockey, basketball, football, soccer and baseball. I was always outside running, jumping, diving etc but at the age of 13 I was diagnosed with Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT). It’s a peripheral nerve disorder that causes a whole slew of problems. It’s degenerative and there is no treatment or cure so it only gets worse, never better. I’ve essentially had pain associated with this every single day since I was 13 (I’m 29 now). Needless to say I went from being someone who loved to be active and move and play sports to someone who could do mostly none of those things anymore. Video games, which had been a past time for me, became a real outlet that I could sink my energy into and they were something I enjoyed that I could actually do. Again, don’t get me wrong though I’m not in a wheelchair or anything (yet) but I am pretty limited physically. In the past few years it has begun to affect my forearms and hands but thankfully the progression has been slow. I take life as it comes to me. I have no control over the rate at which this affects me so I might as well make the best of what I can for as long as I can, and when I can’t anymore at least I know I didn’t waste any time not doing things out of fear.

Seeing little T being witty and intelligent and funny I hope highlights for others that a disability does not define a person, we are more than the hand we were dealt.

In response to the OP and the whole handicap parking thing, happens to me all the time. It’s frustrating and upsetting but people are ignorant and think they know better. Hang in there, don’t let it get to you too much and know there are plenty of us out there in the gaming community who have your back.

For more information on CMT feel free to google the Charcot Marie Tooth Association and read about the STAR research initiative they are involved with that is looking for treatments and cures for a wide variety of diseases not just CMT.

Thanks ANET for having the courage to show a little bit of the fight that so many of us handle daily.

P.s. My mom is fighting MS as well so I really appreciate all the work from the community to raise awareness for that as well.

Well they do say imitation is the highest form of flattery. Nice job with the copy/paste though you’re missing some links like the OP. :P

Agreed 1,000,000,000%

Either remove the extra item chance from the new one or add item drops to the old ones. I was shocked when I read that, complete garbage IMO.

p.s. Idc if you disagree this is my opinion.

My personal opinion of the LS stuff is pretty simple.

It started off kinda fun, then quickly became too much filler and fluff too quickly with little substance.

Every 2-4 weeks is a new set of achievements that require little more than just playing the game rather mindlessly to check off the tick marks for each achieve. I would rather repeat interesting meaningful content for a short bit than have mindless content that makes you not really feel like caring. I.e. The LS dungeons were awesome so far, I’d rather they just have stayed in and been given a justification for staying after the event. The normal dungeons have no reason why we continually beat the same bosses, so why are the LS dungeons different? Placing them in fractals is kind of lame too, I’d rather them have just stayed, even if they had reduced rewards or certain event only rewards removed entirely. This would work well with LFG as well.

Honestly I’ve all but stopped playing the game BECAUSE of LS. My play time is limited and feeling like I’ve fallen behind or can’t have the time to complete an event drains all willingness to bother playing at all to ultimately not really accomplish anything. Idk, I look forward to things changing in the future, but every update leaves me feeling pretty much the same.

By the way, that’s not WP’s theory. It’s from the lore forum actually, but again the guy gives no credit, like always. If you want to discuss it, here is the thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/lore/Aetherblades-use-Steam-Portal-tech/first

Yeah because it’s impossible for two people to independently come up with the same idea. I myself was batting around this possibility before I read the forums or saw the YT video.

Ya, gambits cap at 5.

The fight is really easy, its just the lag that kills it. If it weren’t for the lag I don’t think many (skilled) players would be complaining. I ended up hopping on a lower pop server where I wouldn’t be pushed to a just as full overflow and doing it during an off hour and I laughed my way through it.

Come on guys we’re down by 4% right now. #VoteEvon!!!!

Sauzo.6821:

If you actually think Anet is gonna do anything about precursors, then you are delusional. It’s been months and months and months and months with nothings changed, just “chat” from Anet about it. Do yourselves a favor and just accept this is how it is gonna be. Will make the game much more fun since you won’t spend all your time dwelling on the idea of precursors.

Blog post comes out the next day. Would you like some salt to eat these words? lol.

I’m sure the Scavenger hunt is going to be a pain, but it’s better than what we had.

Absolutely, 100%, fully intended, IMO

Race number 65 yielded my first catcher skin, the sun one… I am now closer to 80 and haven’t gotten a second drop.

Keep in mind you can usually waypoint before you hit the ground, though this still has a cost associated with it. =/

Awesome post! Thanks for this.

So much hate spewing in all directions here, people need to relax man. lol

I understand both sides of the fence. RNG is a joke when it comes to pre’s I think everyone agrees on that to an extent. The % chance has no bearing on skill, time, effort, etc. Some say you should just save up your money and give it to the handful of people who intentionally manipulate the pre-market. Some say you need to use exos, or rares, or that it should be craftable etc.

In the end it boils down to exclusivity for people, it seems. Should these items be gated by RNG and luck, or should the scavenger hunt be instituted? For me, what other people have has no bearing on me. Why should it? I don’t care what you have and I don’t. I enjoy playing the game to play the game. I would like to obtain one for myself because I like the way they look and it seems like the best thing to do as far as Legends always being top stats, so I’d never need one again. I have been sitting, waiting, trying to get my pre for months now, it’s the only thing left to do. I don’t have the luxury of playing 2800 hours grinding dungeons all day, nor do I have the extra cash laying around to just buy myself a pre with real money., some of us have families to support, lives to live. So I’m not asking for it to be made easier, but a little more information from ANET, an official post, would be nice as far as pre’s go. I know we basically have most of the info, but a little more information wouldn’t hurt.

Oh and you know if anyone has a Dusk laying around collecting dust you can always mail it my way, would certainly appreciate it.

Once I got my first place I have been doing the same, just letting others get it, no difference in the rewards anyway.

As for tips, go for the defensive bags in the beginning over the offensive ones, aspect master skill 2 will let you get a huge lead if used correctly. Also, there are numerous shortcuts you can use while using 1 and 2 together, just have to find them. Hope that helps.

I ran 40 races, no skins, but my rng luck is terrible. 500 + ectos to get 77 mystic clovers taught me that lol

I made it up there, wasn’t really all that difficult. The aspects make climbing fair easy.

I see where you are coming from, and I definitely agree to a large extent, but you don’t have to read up on everything they post. The sudden new-ness of a patch could be made exciting that way by simply just logging on without reading.

Although the idea of more subtle pre-event type stuff would be fantastic.

Yea, I see they are adding a unique resource node as well as a new material in an upcoming patch to the personal home instance so why not give us some more fluff or options in there to make it feel a little more personalized? This mini pet stand would be a great start

Yeah, I don’t see why back items shouldn’t be able to be dyed, it wouldn’t hurt. I agree with this.

Personally, I don’t have the best computer, so I lag a lot in jp’s. Further, I have a disability that makes jp’s pretty much the only difficult thing in the game. I try to do jps when and where I can but some cause me too much discomfort or pain and it’s not worth it. Mesmer portals are a nice way for the community to lend a helping hand to one another when they can and I know I appreciate that. Do I think it’s silly when 1 portal takes you from outside the jp to the chest in one shot? Yes I do. Am I bothered by it when people use it? Not really no.

I see where the OP is coming from and this is, after all, the suggestions forum so they have the right to express their opinion.

My opinion is that it should stay the way it is, and if ANET wants to remedy this in the future then make the chests themselves out of range of a single easy port from the beginning to the end.

Yea not today, maybe on the 5th with final installment? All I know is I want it and they need to let us know whats up if its not on the 5th. Again speculation.

On thinking on this further if you wanted to differentiate between the achievements, the expanded one could be called The Historian and reward that achievement. Anyway, I think it would be fantastic.

I think the History Buff and the associated plaques were a lot of fun. I really enjoyed finding them all and reading the excerpts of history they held. It really immersed me in the lore in a way that I haven’t felt in a while. As such I think awarding the title History Buff along with this achievement would be fantastic and I, for one, would sport that title all around the world. This title is doubly meaningful for me as a real life Historian who is often referred to by friends and family as “The History Buff”. Anyway, a small request of something I would love to see.

As a side note, if you wanted to make this title a bit more expansive to earn, have the player interact with more of the history/lore related objects around the world. Such as the statues in and around the Black Citadel or the ones in Hoelbrak.

Thanks for your time

I’m thinking July 1st? when the next phase of Sky Pirates comes out

Nothing in this game is hard, sorry, esp. when you compare it to other games out there. I love it don’t get me wrong but that doesn’t change the fact.

My assumption is it will be in for the next phase of Sky Pirates on July 1st

Took multiple pug groups through here and never had any major issues. I explained what they needed to do and they did it. Only annoying thing is the cannon phase really, and even that is just an annoyance not a game breaking thing.

Keep it the way it is.

“There’s nothing more frustrating than spending real money and/or running content for hours and hours to get nothing”

I think that sums it up.

Countless crate drops, though I didn’t buy any personally from gem store, and not a single ticket.

“There’s nothing more frustrating than spending real money and/or running content for hours and hours to get nothing”

I think that sums it up.

IMHO any third party software being used should be used with the full expectation that it could get you banned for one reason or another. If you insist on using it, you are taking a chance. Whether you think that is right or not is another story, and if you think a certain feature that a third party program offers should be in game I would use the suggestions thread.

If you’re suggesting I should have searched through 500 pages for a post about this topic, which didn’t have a topic header as proscribed by the forum guidelines, and thus created a second thread on the ‘same’ subject then boo hoo I’m so sorry.

If you’re suggesting that it was good of me to explore without looking up the real entrance, than thanks. I enjoyed exploring the world ‘old school’.

I think it could/should certainly be an option for those who want it.

My issue with Trehearne largely surrounds the fact that he becomes much more important in moving the story forward than you do. At best you are a leader of a squad of your given order at any time. At worst you are running errands. All the while Trehearne stands in leadership of the orders of Tyria, solidifying the alliance and conducting this orchestra of destruction. Using that analogy your character might as well be playing tuba off on the side.

And after all is said and done, what are you left with as the player? You get to watch destiny’s edge and the Trinity come together and kill Zhaitan while you just so happen to be there as well, oh and you need 4 other random players with you who may or may not be your friends in game. /golfclap to that finale of my PERSONAL story as Trehearne is like ‘thanks mate’.

Was hoping for an acknowledgement, but oh well.

This issue is still ongoing.
