Guild Wars 2

I wish we had zones in gw2 similar to its predecessor where the challenge was great but the loot was glorious.

Give us zones where level 80’s can be challenged with lots of elite mobs everywhere and really tough world bosses.

To increase difficulty make each end game zone if you will have less population then normal zones.

What do you think?

Im sure this has been done dozens of time but I just want to state my case.

Spvp is fun for me, even more fun then wvw. I like the prizes slaying people etc

But the SAME game mode match after match is starting to get real boring.

Are we ever going to see Capture the flag? Defend the castle? Kill the enemies president?Lone wolf? Last man standing? Hide and seek?

I don’t know about the last one but we need MORE game variants.

Please share your thoughts on this matter.

Their technology is centuries more advanced then all of the other races. Why do they put up with the barbaric Norn, Humans and Charr? I know magic is a factor but still the Asurans could take on any race and enslave them with a army of interdimensional golems.

As much as I love all the dungeons that have been made and all the great artwork and replay value not to mention the treasure, they have got a little stale. Besides Arah I have done most of the dungeons dozens and dozens times over.

We need more dungeons! I would love to see another path in Sorrows embrace where you go to the depths of the Dredge city to discover more destroyers or some balrog creature etc. Or another path in Crucible of Eternity with another lab of sick and twisted experiments or maybe even do something crazy like going into another dimension or going forward or backwards in time because the inquest are crazy like that.

Basically I love the dungeons but make more if you can please. I know there have been some new ones made like the aetherblade and fractals and that’s great but I want more! lol

I don’t think im alone in this. What do you all think?

No that wasn’t it the music I was hearing was more relaxed and trance full almost like you were floating through space?

I just tried to kill the Evolved Wurm and my raid didn’t even get past the wurm trio we had to kill but I had fun. There was like 30 people in my group(Bare in mind thats just one group of 3) and I looked all around and we were holding our own against all the giant wurm protector husk guys and we we re doing good but then all hell broke lose and people starting dying everywhere and we retreated lol.

Im glad there is “hard and fun” content being brought to the table. Like I said I didn’t even make it to the main boss but I like this multiple mission raid if you will. They really feel like raiding and I know that is what alot of people want so thanks.

Keep bringing more fun hard raids/bosses whatever you want to call them.

Hi,
So I just came across the Thaumanova Reactor Fractal and after killing the boss I really like the music that went with the main boss’s fight. Where can I find the music for this and what is it called?

Hi all this thread is for you to share with us a crazy story about why you had to go offline while playing for one interesting reason or another.

Here is mine. This happened yesterday.

I live in my apartment building on the first floor. I was doing a TA exp run when I heard water running. And I thought oh yeah that must be some waterfall nearby but then I heard some one scream WHAT THE #$%# OMG. Startled, I jumped and got up then looked down :O OMG there is a constant flow of water like 1 inch high coming from under my door FROM THE HALLWAY………..

I opened the door and I kitten you not like 4+ Inches of water came gushing into my room from the hallway. I looked into the hallway as all 20+ apartment residents on the first floor were running around screaming and spazzing out LOL. I guess a water mane broke or something from the huge storm we had the other day and it was like a river in there it almost looked like a scene fro the titanic. So even though I looked outside in the hallway that took like .3 seconds, right after that I started scooping up all my stuff and thankfully I didn’t have anything expensive in the water just some cloths that I washed later. But we had like 6 inches of water at the height of the flood.

Oh my god what a day to play gw2 lol.

Alls I managed to say before I left while playing was “g2g flood”

Now how about your story?

What is your top 5 hardest bosses in all dungeons? (Including fractals)

Make it so randomly every few hours a random army attacks from a random portal/gate on the map. It would spice thing sup. For example if a random army of say Inquest of a few dozen elite npcs start pillaging one corner of the map that team now has to focus on them or make some new strategy.

Other teams could exploit this by invading causing a two front war.

Even better, make it so every once in a long while a big Neutral army say of destroyers? Attack out of the ground some where and just go crazy killing everything in their path even give them a few champions and legendary beasts from the depths.

Just throwing this idea out what do you all think?

Just Curious. Is there still hidden things out there?

I don’t know about you guys but I miss the barter system and haggling. Competitor MMO’s have both Auction Houses and trading so I don’t know why we can’t have it?

Also I am tired of having 10% of all my deals on the TP being cut out.

Sure the TP does make alot of things easier but why take away player to player trade?

FYI: I feel like this has been done several times before but I couldn’t find any forum similar to this in search.

Make a Hall Of Monuments for Guild Wars 2 only. Showing off all of some one’s Mini’s and best Armor sets and Exotics and Legendary Weapons.

And depending on how many achievement points, Weapons,Skins,Armor,Crafting Materials,Mini’s etc they have they can customize their own personal HoM and can brag and show it off to friends.

Also have a reward system where for example if John the Norn makes x amount of exotics through crafting he unlocks a special legendary Sword. And these won’t be easy exotics to make.

Or you could have Sam the Sylvari who has 30 minis in her collection and all of them together earn her a special HoM Elite Mini which is a giant undead dragon that follows her around.

Just make more things to work towards. I have noticed more and more people are having legendaries. And that is fine but make a colossal personal sanctum where it would take you years to unlock everything therefore making every special item you unlock more unique so not everyone would have the same thing because they would have to choose what they want to focus on and branch out.

Another example would be to have a living story part of the HoM. If you did x amount of living stories fully complete you unlock a title that really stand out.

And finally back to the crafting materials. Make it so if you want to have your personal HoM look truly exotic and cool glimmering with magic and fire etc You need x amount of supplies to do so.

What do you think?

JW for Exotic Mini’s and Non Living story based Mini’s.

We have only had Zhaitan for the longest time. Sure it was fun taking him on but what about Primordius and Jormag?

Just wondering how many people still play GW1 I think im going to go back and get some more HoM points I have 20 but 30 sounds nice

I play a Guardian and these 3 are the most annoying for me.

1. Necromancer – The broken undead army eating away your health while the necro bunny hops around and keeps switching in and out of elite necro form. XD

2. Good Elementalist- I see about 50% of ele’s are easy to take down but the other half who have more experience and actually have good builds are so annoying to fight with all their abilities eating away your health fast and them kiting you around it is quite frustrating.

3. Mesmers-This is probably the first class that came to everyone’s mind when reading the title. I personally think the other 2 are worse then mesmers because although mesmers take forever to kill and are the most elusive players in the game their dps isn’t as bad as the other 2.

What do you think?

For me I absolutely loved the underworld and the realms of torment and madness. It would be awesome to go and find hidden treasure, cool bosses, material etc

And the dev’s wouldn’t even have to put in on the map just make a portal to go there probably a chain quest to unlock it somehow.

How about you?

So I just did AetherBlade Retreat with a group of people from my guild about 5 minutes ago and I forgot that there was a chest at the end of the dungeon so I left the dungeon by clicking on the leave instance tab on the bottom right side of the screen. When my fellow players told me of the chest I went back in to the dungeon but when I got up to the final boss room with Mai before I could even go in the laser shield prevented me from going to the final room so I couldn’t open the chest

It was partly my fault for forgetting about chest but it might happen to more people in the future just FYI.

First off just wanted to say I love the Guild Wars 2 soundtrack and it is quite a accomplishment but sometimes I like to listen to composed soundtracks from various movies.

Here is a list of a few songs that compliment the game really well in my opinion.

Time-Hans Zimmer ( Inception)

To the Stars- Randy Edelman (Dragon Heart)

Surface of the Sun-John Murphy (Sunshine)

John’s Walk-Jamin Winans (Ink)

I don’t Belong Here-Klaus Badelt (Time Machine)

Eloi-Klaus Badelt (Time Machine)

Anything in Lord of the Rings-Howard Shore (LOTR)

For the Love of a Princess-James Horner (Brave Heart)

There is a lot of other stuff to listen to but that’s just some of the best that I like. You can find all of these on YouTube.

If you want to share what you listen to while playing don’t hesitate to post it.

What do you all want to see in the future of gw2? I personally want them to bring back the ritualists from factions!

Please post below what type of new profession you want to see and what you think it should be called.

I am currently in Sea of Sorrows and it used to be the best at world vs world and dozens of people were always online in every zone 24/7 but that’s just not the case any more. I always hate how CoE and CoF are always closed.

I was thinking of going to join Jade Quarry because all the dungeons are always open there. Is jade quarry the most active or is another server better?

Sorry for the vagueness but my question was directed towards two friends playing together in pvp but it could also be a arena match aswell.

In your opinion which is the better combo duo to compliment each other in pvp?

Hey all just thought I would share my idea’s with the masses.

So basically I think the commander should have a little more power then just a target on the map.

A commander should get more abilities the more castles, supply camps, he/she defends/captures.

I think commander’s should get voted in and out of office by the army. Yes, that means that one commander per however long he/she and the army want them to play and that’s how it should be.

But pressing on here are my commander ability ideas.

Level 1: Commander can boost supply Dolyak speed and how much supply they carry for x amount of minutes. (Medium recharge time)

Level 2: Commander can summon 20 veteran attack/tracking dogs that randomly run around the map looking for enemy players to kill. The dog’s are also tracking dogs so if you look on the map enemies within a certain radius are pinged on the map. (Long recharge time)

Level 3: Commander can order npc guards at castles into different formations. For example “wall defense formation” “protect castle lord formation” “gate defense formation”. That means that every single npc will go to that directed area. They may not repel huge zergs of 50 ppl but if you have a decent amount of defenders having a dozen or two npc’s on the wall or surprising the enemy at the gate gives a tactical advantage. (Short recharge time)

Level 4: Commander has rally ability. This ability boosts all stats of the army around commander within a certain radius by 15-20%. It lasts 30 seconds.( Medium recharge time)

Level 5: Commander has the ability to call for reinforcements! A legendary lord and his elite guard follow the commander to victory! The npc’s stay until killed. (If commander gets DC or leaves wvw npc’s go away. If he is killed they continue fighting where they are until he/she returns. (Very long recharge time)

I know it’s not perfect but if you want to see this or have criticism please comment below

Hey all just looking for some advice on building a decent rig for gaming in general but also focused on making a great WvW experience. Im willing to spend around $1000 on the computer itself not including monitor.

Also if anyone has monitor’s in mind im willing to throw another $250 for that.

Thanks in advance!

Make a zone where players can endlessly gank one another and have a town similar to “barter town” in Max Max beyond thunderdome!

And make it so if you die players can loot your bodies and take all your gold! Before I get zerged by naysayers just hear me out. We need a zone where we can let it all out and just kill one another for survival.

Sure we have wvw but that is team based objectives. This zone is all about you or your small 5 man party running around the desert looking for victims to attack.

All of the waypoints/POI etc don’t count towards map exp because this is a uncharted wasteland.

Make it so the zone is for people looking for that thrill of ganking but at the same time people who don’t feel like doing that aren’t missing out.

I know for one there are plenty of people on my home server that are pvp maniacs and would love a place like this.

Im willing to spend around $1000 on the computer itself monitor not included. Any advice would be appreciated thanks!

There are simple ways to get around that. Just make a match making system and what ever your arena rating is (w/l) ratio you can bet a certain amount of gold the more wins the better.

And the spectator’s viewing is also random. Lastly make it so the spectator’s and fighters can’t message each other while fighting. Simple as that. You have a moot point fror.

Just thought I would say it would bring a lot to the game if we had gladiator like arena matches that spectator’s and even the fighters could bet gold on. The introduction to Moa racing has already proved one thing. The Dev’s aren’t afraid of gambling and it should stay that way.

I only know of two mini pets. One of which I already have that drops from Dragon Coffer’s. It’s a holographic knight of some kind I forget the actual name but it should be on the TP the last time I checked there was like 100 of them posted on there for 3-5g.

And there is the moa mini which takes ALOT of gold to get from moa racing in LA by farshore.

Your missing one big very important factor. Gw2 isn’t wow lol. If I can tell you one thing the dev’s aren’t going to do is make it like wow. Hundreds of thousands of people play this game because it is a unique mmorpg. If you want all the stuff you originally posted up top then go play wow.

Ok thanks a lot that works out great!

Just wondering if anybody knew when the fireworks shows were going to happen from June 14th to the 17th? Im in North Dakota and just wanted to know the exact time so if I have to stay up late or get up early etc so I can make the show and get the dragon helm.

Do you guys think it would take longer? Would you be happy wielding one of the rarest items in the game that nobody on your server might even have? Could you accept that it’s not a legendary?

Personally I am thinking of skipping legendary’s and going for Mjolnir for my Guardian although those charged lodestones are going to be pain haha.

Does anyone have one of those and is willing to say how long it took them to make it vs a legendary?

And feel free to comment and agree/disagree with me for going for one of those and not a legendary. But in the end it’s personal preference I suppose.

I honestly don’t know why CoE isn’t that popular right now? It’s a great dungeon and for those who do CoF path 1 farming all day it could be a great way to switch things up. Sure path 1 is longer then CoF path 1 but I have made several gold from doing just one CoE run before. And you might even make more money doing CoE because most mats from that dungeon are very pricy right now.

Which brings up another point. Due to nobody wanting to run CoE all the Charged mats are ridiculously expensive! Why don’t we all run some more CoE to help the market lower the price so people can buy at a lower cost. And if people start doing that the price for CoF items will probably go up some. So it’s a win win situation. More people running CoE = less expensive mats= more expensive CoF mats.

It couldn’t hurt to be a little more diverse in its rewards though.

Yeah but do you really make decent money in WvW? Basically what im trying to get at is that they should make a fun way of making money for ppl who love wvw and not just running CoF path1 10 times in a row. Sure you could argue that running CoF path 1 is fun or do crafting. But when it comes down to it if I love wvw and that’s all I want to do your not going to make enough cash to save up for a legendary etc.

Then they should limit how many keys you use a week/month to by gems. And it wouldn’t be free money because it could be set up that you only achieve them through dailies or taking stone mist etc. And you can’t always get the dailies because the matches don’t always go your way.

Just started playing Mesmer and I love it but I want to get to 80 fast!

In gw1 you could make money by playing pvp. In gw2 simply stated you can’t. It would make wvw and structured pvp more enjoyable knowing you have some currency in your pocket to repair from dying so much and just in general to help save up money.

Make it so you could trade in Z keys for say gems? I don’t know what would be a fair exchange rate but since the game has drastically changed from the first one its a given that putting them on the TP would not be a good idea.

You could also give a Z key for a pvp daily which could be used to either buy gems or go towards pvp gear etc.

And lastly this would not cause inflation or anything because the gem to gold exchange rate is already one sided.

What do you think?

For the past week or two I have been getting this error code when the game crashes and goes black every hour or so while playing.

What can I do to solve this?

Never mind I found out it was due to a corrupted password on the log in screen. So if anyone gets this error code reenter your password and you should be good.

So for the past week or so now the game has been crashing every few hours when I play. The screen just freezes up goes black with the music still in the background and it says error can’t connect to the game client etc

And now finally this morning when I tried to log on it brought up that error code and said “The server was unable to authenticate your gaming privileges” ? Does that mean I have done something wrong? Or is that just an error?

Any way It also said something about turning off your firewall could help but I have had gw2 for months and my firewall has never affected gameplay?

So is getting healing gear a mistake then? Because that would greatly reduce my earth and wind attunements.

Hey all just had a question about going water with duel daggers?

So far my new skills/traits are 10/0/0/30/30

I have a few pieces of TA gear with healing being the focus so my build is not yet complete

I have already noticed in dungeons I can actually survive if I just keep moving which is a huge relief from always dying in 30/10/0/0/30 mode even with full CoF power based gear.

Anyway, my question is once I get full TA healing gear what other attunements work well that could complement the water duel daggers strategy in dungeons/pvp/pve?

Just logged on today and relogged and wherever I go, the Renown hearts on the map do not appear, at least for me. Does anyone else have or had this problem?

Btw, I am on the server :Sea of Sorrows

Hey all just had this idea.

More Legendary things to work towards besides weapons!?

Legendary Abilities: These abilities are super powerful and can only be obtained through spending grueling hours upon hours of completing tasks, challenges etc

PVP Example: Elementalist gets an ability called Frozen Wrath (Like my creativity) This ability is for wvw and when activated freezes every enemy within 100 feet for 15 secs. After 15 secs are up the enemies have 33% slowless for an additional 15 seconds On the flipside is has a an hour-45 min cooldown.

PVE/Dungeon Example: Mesmer gets an attack called Continuum of Madness, this ability when activated causes the targeted creature/person to attack the nearest enemy for 30 secs and every time your controlled enemy attacks another enemy they also attack the nearest enemy closest to them with a cap of 10 enemies. Cool down 30-45 min (This would be way to OP for wvw even though it has legendary in the name)(wouldn’t work on bosses)

Legendary Pet Example : Elusive Rift Drake, its basically a young dragon who absorbs 33% of all your damage (until it dies) and has a 15% chance to stun the enemy for 5 secs all the time. Sounds OP but if this was a real legendary pet it would take weeks if not a few months to get.

Legendary Summon: This is my favorite and it could go in any direction but heres an example: Legendary maguuma spirit of healing, this spirit will follow the summoner for 2 min unless the summoner dies, its abilities include healing of 3% life of all friendly targets within 100 feet for every second and if a friendly dies within the 100 feet a spirit leech is born through the dead body and does the reverse of the Maguuma spirit to the enemy taking 3% life per second, the leech has a lifespan of 15 seconds and multiple leeches stack This would be insane for wvw and would have to have like a 3-4 hour cool down but that’s just my opinion.

If anyone else has any ideas to add to this thread or even if you want to criticize what I have said feel free.

Hi all,

Last week I hit level 80 and am now running CoF for the cool looking armor and weapons. So far I have aquired the head piece and shoulder piece. But without thinking I just bought the power focused versions of the armor.

In the long run if I continue to buy all the power focused armor will this make me less powerful then say some one who chose the precision based armor?

I find it hard to beleive that precision can be THAT much better then power since im asuming they go hand in hand. But everyone in my guild says precision is far better for everything. But in your opinion if all I want to do is PVE for now am I making the right choice by having a power build CoF armor set?

Or am I making the ultimate mistake and I will be forever inferior to other elementalists with precision builds? XD

Hey all, just thought I would give my two cents. Guild wars 2 is a phenamonal game and I greatly enjoy playing it. But what I have noticed through playing is that alot of the world bosses and chain events such as the one in the harathi hinterlands need -to be harder.

It’s just way to easy to put it bluntly. If some one dies they just get knocked down and some one revives them.

What the bosses need is some randomness to keep the group fighting them guessing. I have heard late game bosses such as the ones in orr (temple of balthazar) are pretty tough which is great!

But more bosses need to be like that. Another example of a actually tough boss is the Fire Elemental. I love that one because its such a low level boss and the way its set up if your not organized (which most people aren’t because its a low zone which means new players) you will more times then not wipe several times before you can take it down.

Ande I know not everyone likes big repair bills but after you finally take the boss down you get a feeling of acheivment.

That’s all I got please leave some feedback.
