Guild Wars 2

the hype is strong in me. I’d pay gladly for this

such a master class! :p thanks!

Hi! I like to investigate and search for new and optimal builds for my characters. And its quite frequent in pve to find people using the Sigil of the Night.

I understand that it increases damage at night. but i don’t get why is it so popular, i guess it’s because some dungeons may occur at night but ir’s really worth the buy? i still don’t see why should i use it. Can somebody clear this up?

Here comes mine :P

Hermano Stark

capes, just give me some capes

BTW Anet, this is like the 23748th beg for cape you get in this forum since you release the game so… at least consider selling a cape on the black lion. xD

Dahkeus.8243:

Capes = clipping issues

Which is why you probably won’t see them. =/

charr = clipping issue

Back item = clipping issue

Half the equipment = clipping issue

They don’t seem to care, so why don’t they give us some kitten capes?

Saying that they don’t do it because of clipping issues makes no sense because the game already have clipping issues.

They don’t make them because they don’t kittening want to, i freaking love capes, capes makes you cool, capes makes you look into the horizon in an epic way, capes are classy, capes are misterious, capes are kitten…

GOD KNOWS WHY THEY CAN LIVE WITHOUT CAPES.

P.S i don’t kittening care EDNA, nobody’s gonna grab my COOL AMAZING kitten CAPE

Hi guys! My brother and i are rolling a warrior and a guardian, both humans, and since the patch was released it looks like our shoulder armor is waaay bigger, we have the HotW shoulders,

has anyone else noticed this?

Yeeeeah! At least some good action, i just want them to blow up LA so we can move on and discover new places. So take pictures everyone xDD

Ok so i’ve been thinking about people complaining about the lack of skills wich is true and it’s not true at the same time. And also i’ve been thinking about how developers could include this new content to the game without changing the whole mecanics.

Yeah we know we have a brand new healing skill… yeiiiii!! Thank you but it would have been better just to add also a few bar skills xD

Ok, i’ll go straight to the point, Gw2 has his own way of playing, you pick one weapon, or two and just combine their habilities, the problem is… they are in PACKS, so including new skills means customize wich one do you want, and maybe this is what we want, but is not what they want their game to be.
So we want more skills, but we can’t just put more skills randomly, ok, maybe including new weapons? Polearms? 2H Axes? mmm ok short term would be good, now what about weapon Styles?

Think about the numerous ways of handling a sword, or a broadsword, you can pick a more agressive stance holding it over your heado a more defensive holding it low… Or you can’t handle it kendo style, whatever… diference styles mean different movements, in our case different skills

What i propose is include different styles or stance for each weapon or creating different families of each weapon if you prefer. Like this:

TWO HANDED WEAPONS: 3 stances or styles for example

Broadsword——> Normal style our 5 well known skills
—--> Cantha style (xD) more aggresive, another completely different 5 skills
—--> tactic or deffensive style another completely different 5 skills

1H WEAPONS: just 2 stances or styles, for example.

Shield:——> Berserk style, a new aggresive style for shield, 2 different skills
—--> Normal style, our 2 well known skills.

Each style could change the weapon stats to adapt it to the metagameplay, so it wouldn’t get OP or something like that.

So a win-win situation IMO, the game can keep his playstyle based on packs of skills and we get a lot of possible combinations and gamestyles.

So, any ideas? Would you enjoy something like this? (sorry for my bad english xDDDD)

I don’t know what’s with that fear of being bullied in the forums i mean, whe have wonderful moderators, we are in the official forums… if somebody is behaving like an kitten the rest of players know what to do, and if it isn’t fixed that way a moderator makes an intervention aand everyone’s happy xD

And people afraid of been treated like a newbie… well once again i think that’s an exageration, I’ve been ALWAYS kinda NOOB in every game, even in wow and nobody’s been laughting at me at forums, this isn’t LOL.
It’s comprehensible people behaving condescending with new players, or showing off, but that’s just….. society xD

spiritus.7983:

sure, since 1.5 years the comunity ask for the simplest option to chose the color of commander tag, the most minuscule reguest for such an expensive item… and you guys want pets and craps

aham, I say hold your breath until they make that, see who wins

kitten i never thought about that, such a good idea o_ o anyways unlikely to happen.

Regina Buenaobra.6193:

We have disabled image-based signatures on purpose. Only text is permitted for forum signatures.

We have removed most advanced font formatting features such as changing text colors or sizes on purpose, because those features are often abused in forums.

As for images, they can be attached to your post. I understand that this is not ideal for certain purposes/edge cases, however attaching images to a forum post will work for the vast majority of forum users.

Hey! i know it’s been a long time since Regina made this comment but i still wondering… would it be that hard to have a character based avatar? Of course i don’t know a lot about programming and i hate to use WoW as an example but it’s not a bad idea to give de user the oportunity to pick one of their characters as a portrait, wich probably includes creating kind of a database that you don’t have i guess…

Anyways i’m starting to enjoy quite a lot the forums and i try to post as often as i can, but it feels so anonymous for all the community, i would like to put a face on that comment and also enter the profile of that witty writer and see i don’t know; how many Anet points does he got or what build is he using —- that again includes creating a database, kind of an armory like WoW…

And it’s not even offensive, is just knowing who is that person talking to you. Nothing about customized avatars or signatures or including grose images, just a healthy controlled avatar and a little bit of in game profile? Because it looks like the game and the forum haven’t got any point in common, totally different things, instead of talking to a player it feels like talking to a number.

i don’t know guys do you feel so anonymous as i do? xD

I think this is not the subforum to post this xD anyways:

Flying mounts don’t have any sense since the whole map is made of instances, one does not fly from one map to another…

Dwarves is difficult since they are all dead… but tengu for example, maybe Palawa Joko’s undeads, could be a good bet imo

Regarding skills, of course the game needs far more skills, i think they could make a couple of styles for each weapon like:

Broadword: agressive style (5 skills) deffensive style (another 5 skills) tactical style…
Torch: same thing…
Shield:…

Maximun level i think 80 it’s more than OK, Gw 1 ‘s top level was 20 and it was fine they just tried to unify lvls, regarding your funcional level denpends on where you are most of the times doesn’t make any sense to increase level to 90 or 100…

digiowl.9620:

the reason for not including the tengu seems to have been aesthetic rather than technical. They simply could not make the “talking heads” cut scenes work with the tengu beaks. Until ANet feels like radically reworking every cutscene in the LS to something that do not require complex lip animations, the tengu is pretty much a NPC only race.

i don’t feel very confident whit ANet reworking graphic issues taking into account we still don’t have capes because they had clipping problems with the charrs and they gave in, like if we had no clipping problems with weapons anyways.

I just hope i could see tengu as a playable race, maybe a new class and Cantha, but it looks sooo distant xD

Aedelric.1287:

So forcing more Scarlet content into where it does not belong. -sigh-

I can not wait till she is dead and gone, she is literally like some sort of disgusting infection constantly spreading. I am glad we only have a handful of updates left with her, I warn you Arena Net if she is in so much as one story after her story arc is meant to be closed I will -never- forgive you.

Scarlett is like google +, nobody likes it still they force us to use it.

My biggest fear is that scarlett story happens to be nothing more than scarlett story, end of it.

Get out of the way kitten and show us once and for all where the dragons are.

well, i hate scarlett as a character, but as a villain i couldn’t give less kittens about her, in fact i just see her as a pain in the kitten more than a threat with all the scrap armies and stuff.

Zaxares.5419:

Given the high amount of coordination required for Teq and the Wurm too, perhaps something like a guaranteed Exotic once per day for them might also entice players to keep attempting them at all available opportunities.

I totally agree with this, i’ve been doing the marionette event for like 15 times and beaten it twice, and well… not even an exotic, the only good reward was the gift of sprockets they gave me for completing the meta achievement (and it’s a pitty that’s actually the best reward) also i got some ascended recipes i can barely use.

The thing is, i’m done with mari and the BJW doesn’t strike me as i know that even if i get to beat him the rewards will be very low, the possiblity of getting 1 exotic per day, would totally motivate me to complete the event.

I thinks that’s all it takes, motivation, otherwise, people gets bored.

SAB ISNT STORY. Its just some fun optional quest. And I bought this game to play GW2, not a game boy emulator.

This.
I understand that some people like SAB, but tbh it is wasting developers’ time that could be spent on something more significant – like writing a believable story, creating new zones and dungeons, actually exploring GW1+2 world. If I wanted to play a silly platform game, I would play it. Instead, I bought an RPG/adventure MMO.

Totallly know that feel bro

You do know MMO fair tends to borderline the same monotonous grinding solely focusing on stories, right? SAB has been a nice break from that, and it only came out twice, like a breather from the stories around us.

(…)

The new and current story arc, I will agree, feels out of place. Unless there is something pretty large behind it all

Ok, i’m not saying SAB is bad content in fact as you say is good to take a rest from the LW and give some versatilty to the game, the problem is that it’s getting recurrent, i just say it because people are begging for a new SAB, and that seems quite sad, i mean shouldn’t they prefer a good quality story instead. Ok they need SAB to take a rest… OF COURSE they need to take a rest from boring patches.

You say that " MMO fair tends to borderline the same monotonous grinding solely focusing on stories" well why in hell it has to be a monotonous grinding activity??

The grinding would be worthy if once again as you say “The new and current story arc, I will agree, feels out of place. Unless there is something pretty large behind it all”

but it doesn’t seem like that, it seems like an excuse to bring a giant robot boss and a worm just so you can grind a little bit more, end of it. Ok maybe now i’m just getting pessimistic, but, just my experience from last patches whithout any logical continuity (ALL OF THEM IMO).

My point is: it’s ok to have SAB, but don’t make of it a priority, their priority should be improve the story and make something that really matters, and plz don’t say they are out of ideas, kitten, there are 5 dragons or so out there.

If we focus in SAB they will focus in SAB cause that’s what we want, and i thing that’s not what we want now, SAB can wait.

ReV.6097:

I miss SAB more than most of the content we have had in 2013. They’d be insane to not add it each year.

Ok, Do you guys realize how sad it is that most of you think SAB is one of the most entertaining content? I mean, not sad because of you, it’s understandable, it’s sad because it’s not what i expected of the LW, are we playing GW2 or some kittenty platformer? Please, release serious content and help the story advance "What is the plot of GW2: Dragons, more than 1 year and 0 dragons at sight, it’s ok, it’s ok, scarlett, the bazaar, Karka and stuff, but PLEASE

YEAR 2013:

SUPER ADVENTURE BOX—> April and September

DRAGONS—> (the real story, the logo of guild wars is a GOD kitten DRAGON) NONE

It’s ok to release SAB once in a while but it shall not become a recurring patch, like “omfg we don’t know what to do this month…- Well let’s make a SAB 4.0 they love it”
This is sad, LW means huge things happening, new areas, new characters, new stories and misteries… and so far most of the LW has been Minigames, grinding and repetitive bosses whitout a fair reward. I,ve been doing marionette for 7 times or so, and i’m just getting bored. Also i’ve opened all the chest just to see what happens when you open the console and it’s just disappointing, i thought i would be able to continue, maybe some kind of “mission chain”, but nope, it just look a pitty escuse to bring A big robot and a worm to the world so you can just repeat it once and again.

A monthly patch which i can complete in less tha 2 days and then wait for the next month to see if the story goes somewhere o keep farming and farming and farming untill you achieve some decent reward, because as far as i’ve been playing i’ve gotten none.

Just IMO

GREAT! At last we will have this scrap bosses and unbearable sylvari villains finished…

Now maybe an actual patch involving tengu or dragons? maybe some new armor tiers or weapons i can get just playing o killing bosses instead of paying real money?

some Cantha or Elona? no? maybe? pls?

This game needs some kitten capes!! who cares about clipping issues, we already have those kind of problems with weapons and hands and nobody is crying about it, so i dont get all the Anet politic of not-doing-capes-because-of-the-clipping-issues, bullkitten.
I dont care if my cape has a bit of clipping -_ – i just want a freaking cape to look cool.

this game only needs some good capes to be perfect. Anet please listen to us
