Guild Wars 2

Here’s my warrior Brynja Wulfsdottir and my ranger Brynja Dharielle

WOW! That’s all I have to say about this beautiful piece of music. If you didn’t click on it from the news in the game launcher, listen to it!! Reading the article/description as you listen makes it even better.

Anyone else enjoy this magnificent piece of music?

This about sums up my experience with the search function

Hmm and I only noticed it recently, I don’t believe it used to happen. Maybe there are some mouse settings I accidentally changed?

Please please please. We really need new weapon skills. We have plenty of utility skills and only 5 skills per weapon, especially for straight-on melee professions like Warrior and Guardian. I swear the GW1 warrior had as many Strength skills as the GW2 warrior has Utility skills.

In my humble opinion, instead of introducing more STUFF to do, it would be better to introduce more WAYS to do stuff. Or a healthy balance of both.

It’s not so much a lack in number of skills that can be used, but a lack of variety in skills and the way we can play each weapon. Honestly, boredom creeps in because your weapon is the main vessel for combat and if you’re limited in options there, you’re kind of stuck.

P.S. This concept has been around in the forums since the dawn of time so I hope that at some point, someone will tell us whether we can expect anything to change or if we should just stop posting about it.

Hi,

Not sure if this belongs in the “bugs” thread because I do not know if it is intentional. I know it would get immediately lost and never looked at in the Suggestions forum, though.

When I have a window like Inventory open in game, and my cursor is inside that window, when I scroll with my mouse to browse through my inventory, my game view scrolls in and out. This happens when my mouse is in 80% of the window and is quite frustrating. I can only get it to scroll through the inventory when my mouse is on the tiny scroll bar.

My fix would be to make it so that any time the cursor is inside a window such as Inventory or the Black Lion Trading Post, the scroll function moves the internal window and not the actual game view.

Thanks!

A way to get people back into current zones would be having more than one event/content happen in multiple places at once. Currently they have the Tower of Nightmares which was in Kessex hills only, then now a new fractal. What would happen if they had multiple events happening across the world in the current zones? Towns getting seiged, events all over the place, but in multiple zones. Yeah it might take a couple months to set up, but in the mean time they could, I don’t know, work on the current state of the game. Thousands of players in thousands of threads keep asking for similar things yet I fail to see change implemented by the game designers.

I totally agree that instead of expanding the current living story they need to get more people in the various zones by making them interesting again.

Sorry if my post is all over the place I’m currently watching the Blackhawks v. Wild game. Go Hawks!

The Search function has not been working for me… am I doing it wrong?

See attached picture. Wat? Even trying to search the Game Bugs section for “search” in case someone else brought this up, it gave me no results. Ideas?

If you need to level up before your next story step, focus on completing hearts and dynamic events in the surrounding areas. These give you a lot of exp. If you are running out of things to do in one area, or the next section of the area is too hard for you, head on over to a different starting area (like Wayfarer Foothills, Metrica Province, etc.) and find some things to do there!

Story steps aren’t built so that you can do them all in a row at once. They have gaps between the level requirements so that you have room to explore new areas.

Thank you both!

As an elementalist:

When I hover over Signet of Air it says:
Passive Ability: Grants a 25% increase in movement.

When I hover over the buff icon (right above utility bar) it says:
Signet of Air: Movement speed increased by 10%.

Well, which is it? I’m having a hard time telling if it’s10 or 25%. Compared to my thief who’s on 25% constant, it doesn’t feel quite as fast with my ele. If it’s actually 10%, please update the tooltip.

Thanks for the spoiler alerts, everyone. Even glancing at the title of the thread implies that Tybalt dies. Could you change it, please? Not all of us are at that point in the story… >_>

Zaxares.5419:

That said, I wish I could change her last name now to “Grimmsdottir”, after seeing the number of Norn around with similar last names. I always liked the “dottir” portion of Nordic names.)

Grimmsdottir reminds me of Splinter Cell.

I’m Anya Wulfsdottir.

Cool pic, I like your armor dyes! This is my warrior Anya Wulfsdottir.

nethykins.7986:

Confused about buffing Kholer and nerfing black peppercorns. Everythhing else is ok, but as always, we’ll find out in a week or so.

Was thinking about that one too… Why? haha. Also, adding mobs to Kholer’s posse will be interesting.

Jrunyon.3012:

Took away the glow for my mist pistol on unequip as well as the foefire weapons?.

I’m really hoping that is a bug. I see no reason for them to do that on purpose :/

Rebel.5827:

Only 2 on the list that I would be interested/able to do, so no longer a question of loging in shortly after 4 pm.

Which two?
I did
-40 ascalon kills
-40 shiverpeak kills
-10 salvages
-20 gathers
-1 jump puzzle (Urmaug’s Secret in LA, easiest one)

I wasn’t bored at all, it was actually pretty fun, though I miss the 5 event daily.

This is definitely not intended. If you can’t speculate at the answer to “why?” then it’s probably a bug.

Are there any? How about ALL of them.

Even if they’re just skins in the gem store.

HeliaXDemoN.1208:

The game reset my daily for nothing and I quit Wainting for the next patch… if I don’t see they try to make characters evolution better, I will complete stop to play the game. This game have a lot of cool things, but have no variety of skills and don’t help to see the Dynamic Events on mini-map and others kittens.

So many smiles… about quitting? What?

If you define “grind” as “working for something” then yes, achieving anything in this game is a “grind.” Leveling? Grind, because you have to do events, combat, hearts, skillpoints, vistas, exploration and crafting to achieve it. (what?) Just accept that you need to plan out your dailies instead of staying in one small area not getting anything done. Explore the world and your dailies will be MUCH easier to complete. I did mine in 25 minutes today.
-40 shiverpeak kills (easy)
-40 ascalon kills (easy)
-10 salvages (salvage 10 things from the 80 kills)
-20 gathers (gather while you’re finding things to kill)
-1 jumping puzzle (Urmaug’s Secret in Lion’s Arch. Anyone can get to it it’s incredibly easy)
You’re done!

I’m my opinion, most of the updates and fixes are fantastic. I was scrolling through reading, going “Yes… Yes… YES. OMG, OF COURSE!” Guild missions should be exciting for a while to come and I can’t wait to get in game and try them out.

Are there any you wish were implemented that weren’t? Or that were implemented but shouldn’t have been?

One of my big ones is the option to toggle Ranger pets on and off. This makes me think they aren’t ever going to do it, which I’m fine with because I just won’t play a Ranger.

I was also curious what “Using stealth no longer resets NPC aggression tables” meant (from patch notes). Seems to me whenever I stealth in PvE, I continue getting auto-attacked by lock-on abilities anyway.

Anyway, I’d like to hear other thoughts about things you like and don’t like.

Nels the Cornwhisperer.8025:

There is no reason I should have to leave the zone I’m in, or go someplace I don’t want to go, to complete a daily.

I think it’s perfectly reasonable for us to have to try for the dailies. They aren’t meant to be freebies.. you have to actually try to complete them. As with the monthlies, I hardly ever do dungeons but I ran AC 5 times because I wanted to complete it. No one is forcing you to complete the dailies. If you want to complete dailies in 25 minutes, then yes, you may have to wp around to get them done efficiently. If you don’t mind spending time in favor of staying in one zone, you can complete all your dailies in that zone, but it will take you a little longer. My level 35 can complete all the dailies in about 30 minutes using 2 or 3 zones. If I wanted to stay in one zone it’d probably take a lot longer. But who cares?

There’s a slider for camera position in the general options menu, would that fix anything?

Try turning post processing off. I do agree though, the bloom in this game is crazy to the point of being blurry.

Adine.2184:

Dear Lyssa no . The last thing we need is ammo for ranged weapons . Do you really want to carry extra ammo in your inventory or find out that your engineer has run out of ammo in the middle of a dungeon or fractal run? Ammo systems have never and never will be fun .

You didn’t read the whole post.
“No, ammonition should stay in GW2 as UNENDLESS, as it works like now.
Ammonition should just only become part as actual equipment when wielding a bow or a pistol/riflle, meaning that unless you equip no other special ammo, your character will use then “Standard ammo”, which has just no effects/ stat boni.”

It would essentially be a piece of equipment that you could attach to your bow/rifle, like a sigil, but it would last forever until you replace it. I like the idea though it might get difficult when you have fire arrows and you shoot a freezing arrow.. how would that work?

They tackle this issue by autoleveling you up to 80.. especially in sPvP. It doesn’t really matter if it’s a PvE character or if it were a PvP-only character, you use the same gear. Interesting idea with the WvWvW-only character though, that might be worth note. But I think their idea was to make it so that PvP, W3 and PvE are a large blend of one experience so you don’t have to have 3 different characters if you want to do all 3

Put events in towns! Not like random, only-for aesthetic loot things but like actual events that give Karma and Exp.! Have some bandits raid a hospital! Have a fire start that needs putting out! Have events like the heart quests in Beetletun!

When I click the “Dailies” icon near the top right of my screen to open the list up, please have it stay open until I click it again. It’s always closing by itself and I just want it to show the list so I can look up at it once in a while without having to click it. Thanks!

I’m sure you have many great ideas. I actually didn’t read any of it because I don’t want to read about things I can’t have. lol

If people choose to level to 80 by pouring their money into the coinsink, then by all means, let them! Having more 80’s in the world doesn’t matter. Let them play how they want. Also, I love getting experience for crafting. I don’t have the money to buy all the mats to 80 (isn’t that like 5 or 6 professions to 400? I can’t even afford mats to get me to 150 in one) so getting exp is a nice motivator for getting my crafting going.

Solid Gold.9310:

A friend of mine moved from WOW to GW2, played a bit the quit because his character moved too slowly.

He must not have made it very far… every class has speed boosters of 25%+

Daecollo.9578:

Everyone should be able to use everyones armor! The armors are restrictive enough already.

No, it’s cultural for a reason. I still think they should keep weapons culturally restricted as well

Bailey.6892:

Or the ability to create characters equal to your max lvl character.

What? What would be the fun in that? That’s what PvP is for

Title says what I’m thinking.

I think there should be a “deposit all” close to where you can deposit/withdraw coins in the bank. A “withdraw all” would be handy as well.

The reason for this is that when I go questing and farming I rack up a bunch of loot, sell it, then go to the bank to deposit and I have to tab to my inventory to see how much money I acquired, then tab to the bank again, click around and type some numbers in to deposit a specific amount.

A “deposit all” option would make this process a lot faster and cleaner! Also, when I’m exploring in the world on a character who has very little money and I want to buy something, I’d like to be able to use my account money to do so.

Thanks!

Mailing yourself stuff would make sense if mail was character-bound. It doesn’t make sense because mail is account-bound. Even if it were character-bound, they’d probably only let you do 1 at a time between characters, so you can’t have your mailbox as storage

garraeth.3267:

1. “F” key. Split loot from all other interactions. Pretty self-explanatory.

I’m not quite sure what you mean… you mean having a keybind for “loot” and a separate one for “interact”? So splitting loot/interact?

I’d love smaller, city events rather than gigantic world events. Entire server events are cool but it’d be easier and more fun to have smaller, more localized city events

I like the idea… I would hope there isn’t a 30 second weapon switch cooldown… that’s 3x what it is now

If people searched for topics they planned on posting about, it would make it a lot cleaner. I agree though… It’s quite messy.

If you’re tired of Tier 1-4 mats building up on you, you can always mail them to me!

Just pay more attention next time. If you are about to spend 100k karma… look at what you’re buying. If Anet removed inventory you can’t use from vendors it would 1) make them unpreviewable, 2) make it so that you wouldn’t know what a vendor really had unless you visited it with multiple characters (light, medium, heavy, any weapons)

Greyalis.2309:

How about each Legendary Weapon come with it’s own special set of Emotes that you can activate using the F5-F8 Keys. These emotes can be used anywhere in the game world outside of sPvP but do not do any damage.

Would this be an acceptable alternative?

YES. Now there is an idea.

Kal Spiro.9745:

Why would I go to all the trouble to get Sunrise for my Ranger, concidering I very much like the two hander attacks, if it suddenly changed those attacks into something else I might not actually like?

It wouldn’t be a problem if they made it so you could switch out weapon skills, like utility skills. In fact, I think they should do this with all weapon skills and give us some variety. That way if you only want the skin, you can use all the original skills. If you want the extra skill, you can replace one of the current 5

+1, weapons are boring with only 5 skills. We want variety!

I’ve tried posting on the forums about this and all I get is rage: “RANGER IS A PET CLASS IF YOU DONT WANT A PET PLAY A WARRIOR”

( ._.)

I would love to have an option to dye weapons. Why not? GW1 had it. Of course, there were hardly any particle effects on the weps themselves back then… but for a game built around appearances, dying weapons is logical

After search, sort by:
Type (heavy, medium, light)
Stats (Rabid, Cleric’s, whatever)
