Guild Wars 2

lord painn.4782:

everywhere……and why can’t the old players like me get the new expansion for free…s

Entitlement.

Hey all,

I’ve had this idea for a while and wanted to share it with you all and I hope Anet will also reply with how they view this idea.

As we know, there are a few weapons that people aren’t happy with. Whether it be the legendaries, Ascended, custom skins or your level 1-80 classics.

The suggestions I have for these ‘Undesirable Weapons’ are the following:

- Integrate the idea of GW1’s weapon dying system… It worked, and there should be a quest available to unlock it. I suggest a quest because we have too much Trade Post stuff and way too many achievement metas with the current living story.

- Elemental Fusions (Idea from: Tibia)
You can buy/craft/create/earn your very own elemental gems and attune them to your weapon(s). Again, a really good customisation that is ignored by most games and I feel it would add to these ‘Undesirable Weapons’

- Energy Gems (Jade Dynasty – Refinery System, WoW – Enchantment System, Rift – PvP rank items)
Allow the ability of adding gems to your weapons that add a certain glow/shimmer effect to them. This has been used on several games; Rift, WoW etc..

Again, these are just some ideas that GW2’s Dev team could really focus on to distract players from the constant ‘Money sink’ and ‘Grinding’. I know they have avoided quests as much as possible, but could a few here and there hurt that much? It never did in GW1. This is also my first suggestion, don’t shoot me

I don’t know ANY MMO games that don’t use a form of leveling as a way of progression. Not one.

Why do players so desperately want to devalue expensive items? Farm the gold like everyone else who has them (like myself).

They have two methods of obtaining them – not just from TMs. I’ll let you figure it out, though.

Mor The Thief.9135:

So many players that have made medium legendary armor on charrs have seen that from the latest patch the tail clipping has been fixed. It was fixed mostly by removing the middle back of the trenchcoat causing it to be split and therefore making the tail having nothing to clip with.

You can see how it looks like here: https://puu.sh/vRVTG/52becb5593.png

Me, having made the armor on my male human thief, think if it would be like this on the other races as well it would make the armor a bit more appealing AND reduce the clipping with the floor that it currently has on the other races, all the while keeping the trenchcoat theme of medium armors that anet like(and me, yes, I like trenchcoats).

What do other people that have made the medium legendary armor on non- charr characters think? Do you think anet should apply this on the non-charr versions of the armor?

Didn’t you make a thread like this a few hours ago, did you delete it?

Anyway, I’m all for it. The skirt needs to be made slimmer and cut like this on all races.

npast.5608:

Suggestion. Just as there are items that require tons of work in the game, in addition to the new wings item, create some super wings item that requires 500000 gems to purchase. For those of us who spend all their time grinding $$ in the real life And make its equivalent attainable in the game too, but maybe different color… At least then you won’t see every other person running with the new shiny item.

500k gems, okay…

That is all.

- Show both weapons on sheath as a toggleable feature <- I’d really like this.

- Unidentified armor is too much of a bother, should be removed or replaced so that rares/exotics/pres drop as named items and unide have white/blues/greens.

- New character select interface. Display more characters in a bigger list.
We are getting more and more character slots and it’s annoying to keep scrolling and manage them.

Jelzouki.4128:

Post your skillpoints….who has the most?

And how can we put these skill points into good use for the future…just make it a currency honestly…the clicking is real.

So where’s yours in this pointless threat? :/

You logout and return to the Mistlock Sanctuary.

You also cannot return to your previous position.

Substatic.6958:

For some reason GW2’s raiders are more elitist than WoW ones. Which is very odd, considering WoW ones are far harder.

Because WoW caters to 2-3 raids with 3-5 wings on each one, plus 3 difficulties accompanying it – having a much wider audience.

Guild Wars 2 caters to 1 difficulty, in 1 raid with 4 wings.

Edit:
Please don’t say challenge motes are a new difficulty. They’re not, you don’t get repeat rewards from them.

Hey guys, I posted a fix on my Facebook (thanks to Reddit)

http://bit.ly/GW2ConErrorFix (redirect to my Facebook page)

If you can’t connect follow those steps to logging in, I posted exactly what the shortcut target should look like.

Quote below:
If you are experiencing this issue, read below…

ArenaNet are aware of this issue and there is an unreliable workaroud.

Add -authsrv ###.###.##.# -assetsrv 64.25.41.2 (look below for numbers) to your shortcut so it looks like this:

Target: “U:\Guild Wars 2\Gw2-64.exe” -authsrv ###.###.##.# -assetsrv 64.25.41.2

• -assetsrv is the same for both regions
• -authsrv is the one you need to replace IP addresses with (read below)

“ChrisCleary – 3 hours ago*
We’re aware of the issue and are looking into it.

I’ll update here as I get them.
Update 1: For those able to get in with the workaround, great. For those that are still unable to get in, we are actively troubleshooting the issue. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Temp Workaround:
(This will not work for everyone)

As a temporary bypass add -assetsrv 64.25.41.2 to your Gw2 Shortcut in the Target Section (you will want to clear this out at a later date)
64.25.41.3, 64.25.41.4 may also work"

Hello everyone, I consider myself a content & concept creator – where I create content out of concept ideas and planning them etc…

Below are some links of my content and concepts, also side projects like keeping players up to date with the BLC sales, returning items and more.

All bit.ly links redirect to Facebook and no other site.

(10/09/2017) – Research & Guides:
New:

• RIBA, 2,800g/2weeks – Research and semi-guide published to help people understand how they can make 2,800g in 2 weeks or in 2 months. Maths included, with evidence and pie charts.

Older:

• Engineer Turret farm – Highlighting: Gold Per Hour, drops, specific items and what to do.

(Ongoing…) – TP / News updates:

• BLC Item Sales / Returning Items / New items – A photo album of all things BLC, will continue indefinitely.

(08/07/2017) – Guild Wars 2 Concept ideas:

• (08/07/2017) QoL Features the community regularly discusses – this piece about features that the community regularly talks about within the game, some of them old, most of them new.
• (25/05/2017) Legendary Colours, ideas & funding – this is a long piece of writing about legendary colours and how ArenaNet could implement them into the game, also, how they could potentially fund it.

(08/05/2017) This week’s tips :

• Sunday’s Tip – Maximising efficiency in Turret farm.
• Monday’s Tip – Getting into raid groups.
• Tuesday’s Tip – Using your resources… Links, guides & more.
• Wednesday’s Tip – Map metas and why to do them regularly.
  (I missed Thursday’s tip due to lots of RL stuff going on; guests, family and new sofa, I’ll amke up for it.)
• Friday’s Tip – Silverwastes farming, an alternative to Engineer farm.
• Saturday’s Tip – feedback for me, Twitch vs YouTube Gaming.

Condis should be buffed overall, epi should be nerfed so condi necros can actually contend with actual dps builds for raids that don’t require more adds to get good dps output.

They are gathering data from That_Shaman’s PoF ‘leak’ and making an informed decision of the expansion name 5 minutes before the trailer goes live. /s

Title says it all it would be great if we could get these markers.

ronpierce.2760:

Need white too…

I’d love to have a white pair to match my Bifrost.

Donari.5237:

You mean as squad markers? What do you need them for? I’m curious, as I can instantly tell which way I’m facing by glancing at the minimap and seeing my pointer “flashlight” — I don’t have my minimap set to spin, so the top is always north.

I’d think that if you want to designate directions in a raid fight, any of the symbol markers would do. “Everyone to Heart!” I’m not sure why the compass direction matters.

I’ll use sab as an example… You get into a rotation about where to go and when you’re tunnel visioning and someone calls out “heart” as you put it, but in this pug group, heart is on S instead of W or visa versa. Having standardised marks would prevent this from ever happening again.

Hardly OP on a level 4 fractal. :/

Hey there, not sure if you’re new to GW2 but want to give a little clarity on that…

World Transfers are only used to swap your WvW worlds; you can play all and any other content with your friends (providing your worlds are on the same region.).

Furthermore, I believe transfers were tiered as a prevention to people mass-swapping wvw servers and collapsing / overflowing them.

I hope this info helps.

The legendary armor has countless threads on this forums, reddit, map chat discussions, Discord discussions about how much of a disappointment it is.

A large portion of the community vocalised that they are sick of trench coats / puffy skirt outfits and we get one as legendary armor.

This troll attempt is not funny, and the constant ignoring / merging / unrecognition from the team is truly disappointing – most, if not all, people I raid with have transmutated their legendary armor.

Yet, I come across Light wearers and they can’t get enough of their legendary armor – synergised dye nodes, perfect transformation, no bs.

Isn’t it time for a forum improvement?

XenForo seems to be a popular option for a lot of communities and allows a much vaster interaction of forum posting.

Notifications, friending, profile linking (twitter, twitch, facebook) excellent stuff for content creators and the general community.

We lack notifications on this forum, basic social media linking (resorted to posting it in signatures) also no actual profile building can be done on this forum, it would be great if we could adopt a more community-friendly forum.

Perhaps this would bring people back from Reddit to using this place a main hub of communication. Purely speculation, though.

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

The OP in that thread didn’t measure gold/hour; they only counted loot (and inaccurately at that: the current Silverwastes farm last ~45 min because it includes breach + chest farming).

The one person who mentioned gold/hour said 40 gold in one hour at the TP.

In direct answer to the OP’s question:

Sure, boost your engineer to L80 & try out the turret farm. Come back and tell us if you have 800g by the end of a week (buy offers for legendary weapons range from 1800-3000g).
