Guild Wars 2

Its definitely coming out of your own character.

I am also experiencing these voice bugs. My human female elementalist is speaking with male Charr voices talking about turrets being built randomly. I didn’t know what was happening at first but spun my camera around and noticed my characters mouth was moving with the voices.

Please fix ANet.

I disagree with the OP. In my opinion I find the new daily setup to be more rewarding and enjoyable. Thank you Arena Net for this change, I like it. The only part I can agree with on his rant was the part about adding more choices to pick from as addressed by many after that post. This new change to the dailies has far more potential than the old system.

I also would like to see a first person option. Something as simple at scrolling your mouse wheel in until it goes into first person would be great. I was actually surprised you couldn’t when I started playing this game back at release.

Leo Paul.1659:

Blah there’s an ugly clipping issue at the hips when just standing around. -_-

Tons of ugly clipping issues with this one.

- Around the hips
- On the front on the legs
- The dragon around the neck with most hair that is longer (wish it could be toggled off)

Love the look but the clipping kinda screws that up.

Oh and also wish you could mix things, or at least toggle parts off.

As far as I know that waypoint has been contested for over a year. Since I started playing. I may have not found it if there is one but I’ve not found any events that cause the endless mobs to stop coming and the waypoint to become uncontested. You can still waypoint to it from other maps I noticed. If you happen to have a little squishier lower level character they can take a pretty good chunk of your health too, or even down you before you get off the loading screen if it loads slow for you.

Isn’t gold this token? You can even get armor sets with this token it already gives. I don’t see how implementing another currency would do anything but make a mess.

I think if it has to be done by rewards than they should simply scale the rewards by how long it has been since the event has been completed last time. This may make people want to go hunting for events that are not as often done. But for all I know this might be another can of worms.

Two things:
Platforms above arena need to be set invulnerable if possible.

On ours we had one world ganking everyone at the entrance so the other two couldn’t get in to even look without a zerg. No idea how to fix that but at least for the time being it is a bit of an issue if anyone wants to use this instead of behind the windmill unless someone who wants to use it for GvG has a pretty large guild to keep the camping in check. But who knows this might naturally correct itself… or not.

Not sure what server you are on but I am on Crystal Desert and when I went in last night, late at night even, I was able to find a pretty large number of people in there (it just didn’t appear that way at first). I think the reason it seems so empty to many is that the tower is fairly big and people are very spread out. Talking in map chat to form a starting party we were mostly able to get together and get everyone to the top picking up numbers as we went. Most even said they had a lot of fun doing it.

It is your choice to solo but I may advise to use map chat and form a group, you may have more fun not soloing it than you expect. 5+ players to start is nice. Clear as much as you can going up, and here is the important part… stop at dead players and fight off everything around. After you clear as much as you can pick up the dead solo players on the way with that group. Do not pass over them! Your group will grow as it progresses as many will stick with you. We did it that way and by the time we were going through the third level we were an unstoppable force.

knbBlackTemplar.3059:

I’m necro, i can’t be white.

:P I think someone of any color should feel they can be a necro!

I’d like to see the ability to remap it as well. I have my jump key on shift. I tend to have a little different key lay out as I am left handed and never could get used to the default layouts. It would be nice to be able to remap any key that is used in game in my opinion.

UrMom.4205:

To the 6 sbi pugs fighting us lonely 4 cd outside smc last night, it was hilarious watching you guys run back to smc every five seconds to get all the buffs…just come out and fight us, the buffs at smc will still be there after you wipe.

I think I was one of those four CD if it is the fight I think it was. Had a lot of fun with that. I was just charging into them since we had had outmanned for a while.

Frostfang.5109:

Why dont u toggle the emote text off if it bothers u…? I do.

I mentioned that I am aware that you can do this in the original post. Emotes do not bother me at all in themselves. Just trying to make a suggestion to make it behave in a way that one would not have to do that. Instead of turning features off it would be nice to be able to have them implemented in a way that doesn’t inspire more people to turn them off. I just want to see the game get better, even little things like this.

Traced.3495:

And the emote range could be shorter as well.

I agree with this as well.

Currently for persistent animations such as /sit or /dance when a person comes in range the emote text is shown for each and every time he or she comes in range. When many people are dancing or sitting this can be a flood of text when you come in range. This is many times worse when you are traveling back and forth such as in Lion’s Arch when you are crafting, forging, and making stops at the Trade Post and repeatedly see the text. I do know that emote text can be completely turned off in chat. It would be nice if instead of having to ignore all emote text for one problem that it just be changed to be less unintentionally annoying.

I propose that it be made that the text for an emote only show once and only when the person who played the emote actually typed the emote in if you are in range.

I think it would be a nice added touch to the game if the developers eventually added the ability to sit on things. While I know there are things I would like to see fixed before things like this are done I would love to eventually see some little things added to the game like this.

This could be used on NPCs too. For example, in the human home instance Lord Farren is sitting inside the couch using the sit animation for sitting on the ground.

I do not feel this should be of high priority but I do think it should be added. It would help polish the game.

It would be great if you could make it so people cannot make orders for under the vendor price on the trade post since you can’t sell it for that price. Also please remove all bids currently on the trade post that are under vendor price since it cannot be sold to them at that price.

As for inspecting gear, no. If they have a cool bit of armor or a nice weapon you find interesting would be happy to talk about it, ask them. Most people would happily show it off, but it would be their choice.

I am only ok with dueling if it is with people who mutually have each other on their contact lists or is setup in some way that prevented annoying spamming of requests. Maybe have a spot for it, a practice arena or something. There is already a sort of arena in the Charr home city, the Black Citadel , which they could utilize and copy onto a separate kind of “instance” if they really want to add this feature. But if you mean just random fights with randoms in the open world, no.

Dr Ritter.1327:

i already kick some based on achievement points, inspect would be more accurate to measure preparedness

This illustrates why I think the original post is a bad idea.

Why not just utilize the in game interface already developed that is being used for the character’s personal story on the hero panel?

Just copy that and make another tab just like it that tells the living story instead.

I thought about this once and had two ideas.

One idea I had was, the longer a champ is on the map the better the drops.
I do know that some events such as the Troll in Queensdale spawn it when the event is activated so they would have to take that into account and treat the event trigger such as the stone as the timer or whatever activates the event. I think this may turn some groups into champ hunters that look for some of the less often done champs. I also think if a champ just spawned or champ event trigger just became available and was killed in 2 seconds the rewards should be less.
I know they scale bonus exp by how long a creature has been on the map so I am sure that can likely be applied to the chance of good drops too.

—

The other idea I had, which may be less popular among the ones that want a more predictable gaming experience, was to give all champs a 30 minute timer on spawn time and a 10 minute unpredictable window in which they could spawn. I don’t know how predicable the Wasp event is in Queensdale, but maybe make them all like that. Basically make their spawns spaced out enough and random enough that it would be better to look for champs, even on other maps, than to run in a little circle in one map.

I know either of these ideas might not be popular with some groups but it may get many to look for those champs and champ events that are less often done.

I also would like to see this feature.

Aechidna.3084:

If you decide to then copycat other peoples’ builds that’s an issue that you yourself have to work out.

It is not about copying, it is about exclusion and elitism some would use this for.

Aechidna.3084:

There’s certain stats that you can pick (if you pick them you need certain armor) and then you use a certain build (i.e. almost all the fellow hunters I’ve seen use the same build, same skills, same weapons) just because it works best. If your argument were to be viable then there would need to be whole complex skill trees letting you choose from different skills and the amount of points you put into them, but there’s not.
I want this feature added purely for informational purposes, that’s all.

You may want it for informational purposes (which would be great if everyone was like that) but others would not hesitate to kick people from parties or chastise them while doing things like dungeon runs for example. “You don’t have this gear and these traits kick”, “LF2M CoF Warrior Zerker only” , “You don’t have the gear we demand, go away”, “Guys lets kick this [class name] with [undesirable armor type] and replace him/her with a [desirable armor type] Warrior”, etc…

Like I was trying to say you may have honorable intentions but this I can see being abused. Normally when I see a weapon I like, I just ask. Most people love to tell you about some cool item they have. Might even make a friend through any potential conversation that starts.

In the back of my mind I did have doubts they would give exact numbers (although I think they should) so I agree with you on that that if anything a percentage would be nice.

I would also like to see some kind of public profile. But to most of this, no. Most of the suggestions I see here would just promote elitism and excluding people who don’t have every little thing exactly how the other people want. In turn this potentially could lead to less build diversity and those who want to try different things being excluded. I would prefer to keep gear and trait information hidden to avoid promoting gear and trait elitism.

Now what I would like to show off is finished achievements!

If there was a profile system I would prefer it only be about achievements since achievement points themselves are already public. Also maybe even a little spot you can edit for talking about how you like to play in your own words to make it personal.

I am all for a type of personal profile that can be made public, just not in the form envisioned in the original post.

I think it would be nice if on the WvWvW window with the score that you can pull up also displayed the current population per map and the max population for your world. For example have it displayed like this for one of the borderlands maps:

[World Name] Borderlands Population: 87/150

There is plenty of room to stick that in there somewhere. I think it would be nice to see this information so you can see before entering queue if one is full or where you might be needed.

I like finishing them, I also noticed they will try to revive each other when down which is awesome and I like as well.

In PvE it would be nice to have the option to see where other nearby players are on the compass map like you can in WvWvW. This would likely make maps feel less empty and give people the opportunity to group up. I am not talking about over the entire map, just in your surrounding area, just like WvWvW.

I would suggest if this is implemented that it also respect the “invisible” option in the contacts list and not show your dot just in case the person wants to be alone. Plus possibly an option to turn off seeing others dots if someone wants less going on in their map.

Basically I’d like to see an option to make this game more sociable and encourage people to play together since some maps feel empty sometimes because it looks like no one is out there.

You are correct I meant the other, half awake when I posted that, late wvw night. Edited it.

There have been a few threads about this with people unhappy with the change. I would have to say after using the new one I prefered the old one too. It didn’t seem broken to me before like some say. The Ride the Lightning nerf was bad enough already. This One with Air change makes it even worse in my opinion.

They really should have changed Zephyr’s Speed to this 1.5 seconds “superspeed” thing instead.

It is not broken. How you described it is how it is supposed to work.

Here is what happens when you are knocked out or leave too soon: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Revealed

This is exactly what it was intended to do.

While not a massive issue in itself it can be a bit of a slap in the face after you were are in combat. If Anet does an update on their side that needs a forced restart if you are in combat, you die.

After using this “replacement”, testing it out I feel so sllloowwww ALL the time…… except for 1.5 seconds in combat. The mobility in and out of combat was a big part of what made ele fun. Now it feels like that is gone. The Ride the Lightning nerf was bad enough. This made it worse. Can I have my fun back Anet, please?

I’ve noticed this and also that the line of fire behind my elementalist is a broken series of sideways lines crossing the path it took half the time now and just visually looks bad.

I am another that prefered the permanent speed One with Air had before.

I dislike the OP’s suggestion. Achievement Points are a big part of why even I do my dailies. I like it how it is now.

Maybe I am doing something wrong but I have been trying for Powerplay for a while now. I try to make sure that I get credit at each point but just like the guy above it never seems to result in the achievement. I have also seen many mention this in map chat after fights too.

I was wondering this as well considering it is the same price I paid for the Molten Alliance Mining Pick I have.

Has Anet fixed armor with clipping in the past?

I noticed a lot of clipping on the legs on female characters in the idle stance animations when viewing the character from the front.

I’ve been wondering why they didn’t do this since Living story started! Missed opportunity here so far. I’d love if ANet did this. I mean they could totally use it for your character’s story! Plus all that story stuff they type up and put on their website would be so much better to have in game in my opinion.

I noticed after getting my Dragon’s Jade Kris daggers that the ribbons on the end of the handle are only viewable from the back and are invisible from the front. See attached Image.

Not a large sample size but I will add that I received 5 ecto from about 30 rares last night with the Master Salvage Kit. While that in itself is not a large sample size I think if one were able to add up everyone that gave numbers in this thread there would be a pretty sizable sample to work with.

@ Cspence
I’ve never had a problem socializing in this game myself. But that might be because I try and strike up conversations occasionally be it with /say /map or /whisper. Say something that invites conversation, something besides “hey is anyone out there?”. Same rules apply in here to some degree as just walking around in a city where people may not know you. If you desire social interaction start some yourself it it is likely to happen. Just as it has on this forum for you.

I’m sure the other servers are almost the same but I’ve never had an issue not being able to socialize here on Crystal Desert. If you happen to be on CD my little guild likes helping other players out so give me a shout out if you’d like someone to run with you that doesn’t mind stopping and chatting here and there.

This might be some pretty good advice that can carry over into in game. Obviously the parts about visual contact and body language do not apply.
http://www.wikihow.com/Become-Sociable

TL;DR, Strike up interesting topics and you are likely to have interesting conversations.

Are you looking for a guild that does not dictate what you do, when you do it, and who you do it with? If that is so we have the guild for you!

Our guild is a friendly social guild started by some long time friends who are looking to meet new people that are interested in camaraderie with people who enjoy socializing and helping those around them.

We are interested in all aspects of GW2 be it PvE, Dungeon Running, PvP, WvW, or even just hanging out and socializing while checking out the latest fashion trends in Lions Arch.

At this time we are just on the verge of unlocking the Bounty Hunt guild missions and for those interested in that we will certainly be having a go at that as well.

The Rules!! 1. Have Fun! 2. Be Nice!
-that is all-

Our guild doesn’t have any crazy draconian rules about having to rep our guild tag. We do understand that you might be in several guilds and we have no requirements that you rock our guild tag 100% of the time, or even ever. We also do not require any type of contribution to the guild bank either!

Also anyone who would like to join, you are welcome to invite your friends. We have it set so anyone who is in the guild can invite anyone, no need to ask the guild leaders.

Things we have fun doing
Helping each other!
Helping new players!
Making friends!

TeamSpeak
Server: ts.crystal-desert.com
Channel: [WP] Wisenheimer Prime

TL;DR: A small guild of friends looking to make more friends to help each other out while we grow. Join us and invite your awesome friends!

Whisper or send in game mail to Deano.7913 for an invite and we will hook you up

I have been having something like this happen a lot. Sometimes I do get damage on the first fall. Then I fall from midair again and take the damage again. Sometimes it does it repeatedly until I am dead. I found its not as bad if I don’t move for a moment after a fall. Pretty ugly bug.

Is there any web pages or locations that ArenaNet posts about future plans or any kind of roadmap for future development? I know they have that one thing that is like general “wow look at this” page for each month that leaves many details out. But I was wondering if they had something like their update posts in the News and Announcements part of the forums, but ahead of time.

I’m mainly curious if there was future plans published some place for guild missions beyond what was introduced into the game recently, like fixes or improvements.

Kilrain Daggerspine.6843:

Also Deano, Yeah cause people arnt already annoyed that the amount of Rng ?

Just saying, I kinda like being surprised by events and the illusion of not feeling like I am in a scripted world.

Yes people are annoyed by RNG on purchased things like keys for black lion chests, the Mystic Toilet, and any of those purchasable chests during holiday events, due to to the feeling of wasted money be it real money from gem purchases or time spent getting gold. I will also add loot in general.

This is a bit different in my opinion. I say leave loot as is but make it so third party timers outside the game cannot so accurately predict when most major events in the world happen.

Or they could make it so the events are unpredictable and the web based timers don’t work.

Dear ANet,
I would like to play this new content without being an anonymous number in a large guild. I have a small family and friends guild and from reading about this before it was released it was my understanding that there would be a lot of new and amazing things to do. I spoke with everyone I played Guild Wars 2 with and they expressed much interest. I showed them all the information you released to the public and they too thought it would be fun. On the day it was released we all were pretty down about it as none of us could take part in any of the guild activities. I told my friends this and many of them didn’t even bother logging in to play the normal content with me. I really do like this game, this is actually my first major disappointment and it does not appear I am alone.

It would be nice it there was a progressive guild mission system that didn’t start at the top of the previous guild unlocks but was incorporated into it being unlock-able along with each tier starting with the first in each category. Also I feel that the first missions in each of the categories should not cost influence. That way people can “play their way”.

Would be nice if my smaller guild of RL friends and family could enjoy the new content ANet, please fix.
