Guild Wars 2

Personally, I like the way it is now, but I think they should add some sort of “repair animation”. Like they could make the character hold something small that looks like an armour piece and use the same animation for when you repair walls and doors and such in WvW with the hammer. That way, repair will take a bit more time (just a few seconds) but besides adding immersion, it also becomes a bit annoying in the future so people might mind dying a bit more.

Right now, it’s just click here, there and boom, you’re done. It’s a bit boring and unoriginal if you ask me.

Once you’ve got the collection unlocked (which you do), just do the meta once. You’ll get it from the end chest most probably.

Too abusable and promotes even more elitism. No, thank you.

The only battle I needed help with was the last HoT boss.
Everything else was relatively easy or with an OK difficulty and I did it with a DH (GS/Scepter + Torch, maybe focus), full zerk with less than 12k HP and barely, if any, defensive skills (can’t remember well, it was a while ago).

So…yeah, I kindly disagree about it being unfair.

I’ve seen people with 40000+ AP :P

I’m probably misunderstanding here, but isn’t there a timer that says when the map resets? If you got kicked out when the map reset, then you wouldn’t have gotten anything anyways, since… it has reset.

Jon Olson.8439:

“You cannot send to yourself” would suggest OP still has the character associated with their account.

One will likely have to wait for us to clear beta character data before one can use the name once again.

Are the characters saved for something else? Like Anet using them to test stuff that might have been reported by that person or anyone else?

Because I don’t understand how hard it would be to check the “Select All” box and press “Delete”.

I’ve run almost 500 fractals and I’ve gotten less than 10 amor/weapon boxes (in total). RNGejsus pls xD

Carlin Sanders.3587:

We already have Gliders, no need for a mount that flies. If you want to ride an animal in the sky that badly i’m sure Anet can come up with a griffon mount skin or something for gliders – they’ve already shown they can manipulate the players actions during glide – so you can ride your griffons and eagles and cows and stuff.

next question.

God, if I see a flying cow/dolyak in-game, I’d laugh my ass off. xD

If it’s for private use and can only be seen by 1 party member (the one doing the tagging) or only whole party, then I don’t see why not and I support the idea, unless someone comes up with ways that can interfere with other tags visible to everyone else.

Also, I’d like to add that they should make these, if they make this a thing, more unique and not just re-use the tags commanders use. Something more….distinguishable from everything else.

Off-topic: I like Hannelore.8153’s sign. “i’m a lesbiab… lesbiam… less bien… GIRLS”

So, from what I understand you want “tags” in parties? If so, then I must disagree.
Party → grouped up and able to chat; Apple Tag → same + leader tag; Commander Tag → same + more options.

If they add that to the party, then they must add it to the mentor, it makes Commander Tags less useful to buy and what not.

I’m one of the people that wanted mounts, but I think flying mounts will be too much. They’d have to put invisible walls which breaks immersion, I’d like to retain the little there is left. It would also make this game even less social, I think. Maybe not in a big way, but it adds to it. Plus, proper flying mounts like in WoW just…..doesn’t fit story wise and world size, you know, like, the maps aren’t that big in order for it to be necessary. Of course, same could be said for normal mounts, but I think those can be made to be immersive, since there are already flying ships to take care of the flying. I know there are WPs for travelling, but I always thought that land mounts just add to the immersive-ness, even if it doesn’t make travelling any faster. From an immersive point of view, I think it adds to it, because, why wouldn’t a world have mounts to travel? It makes travelling safer. Even with WPs, merchants, soldiers and common folks, still have to get to it in order to be able to use it, but there are dangerous creatures in-between. This is of course just my opinion on the matter.

I like the idea, but instead of “tags”, probably colored names would be better, but that’s just my opinion.

Learning names of maps and pressing M is so hard, indeed. /sarcasm

Everyone wants fishing and all I want is skinning and gutting animals like in Age of Wushu. >.>

GIVE US CANTHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol look at these people cryin’ failing to understand that this is not pvp/wvw oriented

Arnath.2319:

Cones also allow the skills to be stronger, make them aoe and they will have to be nerfed.

They’ll get nerfed hard anyway, just hope it’s not into uselessness. x)
I’ve wanted to play proper SUPPORT guardian who GUARDs people in PvE for a while. :s
Don’t get me wrong though, i like my full zerk guard, but I like to support too.

Oh, no, something requires aiming? BLASPHEMY! /sarcasm
I don’t think anyone got that I was joking. Hopefully this clears it.
Also, I think they’re both good for what they are, just cause something is different and people are too lazy to aim which makes it a harder class to play, doesn’t mean it’s bad. Well, maybe it’s bad for the people that can’t play it or are too lazy to learn. Some prefer challenge and more diversity instead of just spam a few abilities and call it skill.
Plus, after years of the same playstyle, it’s nice to have something different. One will be useful in one area, other in another area, some will be completely useless, some will be OP, in the end, it doesn’t matter as long as people have fun.

Darknicrofia.2604:

Firebrand deals insane amounts of damage to a DPS golem standing still at melee range.

That’s about all it does.

This, it is only good versus a golem, its just crap in wvw and pvp.

Well no more guard for me, got to test my main char “The Deadeye”.

Some elite specs are not meant to be played in some game modes, look at the Warrior elite spec, it’s pure pvp.

We are not meant to forget about DragonHunter, elite specs are meant to be switched in and out, let DragonHunter be our elite spec for PvP, and Firebrand our elite spec for PvE, it makes balance easier and allows the devs to make those elite spec strong in their unique ares.

If FB is our PvE spec, please tell me where you would use it? It sure as hell won’t be raids because why bring a FB when you can get quickness guaranteed from a Chrono and way better DPS from a DH. Open world is useless to count for anything because spamming 1 is too OP.

Why have Chrono when you can have FB with perma quickness, s**t ton of other buffs and condi dmg at the same time?

Oh, and that’s just HIS skills, God forbid you happen to have 1 Chrono on the team xD

I just hope when they nerf him, they don’t do it to oblivion and make it useles.

Thank you both kindly. It clarified a lot. <3

They re-used a mace animation on guard for the axe and you think they’ll add new weapons? LMFAO

I solo most of the “group” HPs with my Zerg Guardian with less than 12k hp. If you time all your dodges and aegis, it’s ezpz.

Hey, I was wondering, will people that have pre-odered the expansion save their character progression (e.g. masteries) after the beta has ended and the expansion is officially released? Or would they have to start all over once it’s out?

Hello,

I was wondering, since I really enjoy the possibility of setting a nickname for each friend on your Contacts list, would it be possible to make a feature where we can create groups and drag/drop friends in them? Sort of like what League of Legends has.

Personally, I could really use that, but it also makes things more neat. It’s not very hard to make and it wouldn’t take that much time either.

It’d be nice to see it with the next expansion.

Cheers

I asked this same question a few weeks or months ago. xD

I agree on your first point, maybe even a dungeon like mission(?) with slightly better rewards.

The current missions get boring really fast, at least for me, since even if there is some difference in them, they are mostly the same thing, just “re-skinned”.

I see now. Sorry for my ignorance. Thank you kindly all.

Is this the next episode map or something else planned for far into the future? I was just checking my map and there it was.

Same thing happening to me since the new episode came out.
Huge lags spikes that are quite long and make the game totally unplayable.
Sometimes I have the luck to be able to play 1 or 2 hours without any when I first start the game, but once they start, they don’t stop happening.

In case anyone thinks there’s a bug with the berry spawn on the new map. Here’s my explanation of the thing.
The berry spawn timer is NOT affected by the daily reset. So, if you do a full run the night before (doesn’t matter if it’s before or after the reset) and try to do another run in the morning on the same character, not all of the berries might have spawned. Last night I did a full run on 3 of my characters and this morning on all 3 of those not all of the berries had spawned. But on my fourth characters, on which I did not do a run, the berry spawn was fine and I got the usual amount. So for those 3, I have to wait till later. Maybe till mid day or even later. Not sure exactly how long.

If wrong, please correct me.

Hello ^^

I’m looking for any guilds that do raids regularly and don’t need to be representing. I would but my guild has 100% policy, so I can’t even if I wanted to.

So far I’ve done VG so many times I’ve lost count but have not killed it a lot. More like 3 times in total because people usually just give up after a few tries. I’ve also killed The Keep Construct twice, but have also done it multiple times.
I’ve fought Gorseval various times, but alas never really killed it.
I find it hard to find people to do raids with regularly so I can actually learn all the bosses properly and PUGs are a nightmare most of the time.

Most of the time I’m using Exotic gear but it has never really been an issue. I only have one character with full ascended gear (Dragonhunter) but since it’s using cultural armor I can’t use it on other characters and Guardians aren’t really that popular with raids.

I can play Dragonhunter, Revenant and PS Warrior. Once I have enough, I’ll try and get a Viper Engineer/Necromancer.

If anyone’s willing to take me in, I’ll be happy to join.

Feel free to message me in-game.

Hello,

I’ve been playing for a while now and ever since I started the following issue has bugged me quite a lot.

The preview window/HeroPanel of Dyes does not show as what you actually get to play.
As you can see in the attached picture, I’ve taken photos of my character at different locations under different lights. The illumination is absolutely different.
At the top you can see the character in the Character Selection menu, which looks almost, if not, as identical as the Preview window.

In the photos taken, I’ve maxed everything out just to make sure It wasn’t anything I might have not turned on or tried, because I spent some time playing with the settings to see if i can get the same effect.

Unfortunately, no matter where I went nor during which part of the day, my armor never gets to have the same “metal” look like in the preview, but it has this “plastic” one.

In the pictures taken I was using the Iron Dye, but I’ve also tried the Charred Dye by recommendation, but the effect was the same.

The character in the photo is a Human Male Revenant, even though that’s not important in this case, because I have the same issue with all the races because it’s the item not the character.

So you CAN milk those!

OP, buy Essiac helps with the cancer better than the chemo and you won’t lose your hair.

I thought it was just me, considering that I’m playing on a laptop.
Before it was loading normally, as I would call it. Sure sometimes a little slower, but never every time.

Am I the only one who’d prefer 5 dashes and faster endurance regeneration? xD

Good idea, but…. ain’t nobody got time fo dat.

I strongly agree with OP. It’s a good idea and it’s easy to implement.

Although, I would add that if this was to be implemented, I’d recommend the insertion of the password to be through a virtual keyboard. You know, the one you click with the mouse on the screen.

That would help against key loggers.

Considering it as a feature in the launcher as well is not a bad idea either in my opinion.

I agree with OP. I mean, it costs so much time and effort to make that extra click.

/sarcasm

Yeah…. let’s make the game easier than it already is….

If people don’t wanna stick around cause they’re too lazy to learn the game and the things it provides to make one stronger, then the hell with them. You can’t expect to get everything on a silver platter.

The game’s already casual enough, it doesn’t need to get any more casual. And I’m a casual player. I got my first character in around 80h to max level. And I wasn’t even trying to level up as fast as I could. I was just running around…. exploring the map…. in zones way lower than my level….

Conspiracy Keanu: what if OP is an ArenaNet employee and is just checking out what the community thinks about the game and the way it’s made?

Oh hell nah! I just bought the game.

Thank you, Dean and Adeaphon, for responding so quickly.

I appreciate the help and my answers have been answered.

If any GM were to see this, feel free to close the thread, sir/ma’am.

Hello to all and nice to meet you!

My name is Doombringer BG, I recently joined this community.
I’m downloading the game as we speak and I thought I’d ask some questions whose answers I wasn’t able to find my self.

Question #1:

I’m thinking of starting as a Norn Ranger. Is it possible to create my character in a way that I can switch between weapons but become sort of Tanky when I do?

For example, I’m doing some damage to mobs and suddenly I find myself surrounded by a lot of them. I’d like to switch to a, let’s say, a Big sword of some sort and use skills that would let me go through them without dying.

I was thinking of playing a Ranger/Guardian, but then I found out I could not have 2 professions at the same time on the same character.

Basically I was hoping to be able to switch between them at any given time, but, oh well…..

That’s pretty much the play style I’m looking for if it’s even possible and efficient, of course.

Question #2

Regarding the future expansion that is coming, I stumbled upon a video on YouTube, which name unfortunately I am unable to recall at the time, where the commentator mentioned that there would be an option for guilds to build their own house.

Now, if I am unable to purchase said expansion, what would happen if I were to try and enter a guild vicinity? Would I even see it?

Any answers are appreciated

I’ll see you all in game! ^^
