Guild Wars 2

I don’t play my necromancer very much but I was thinking the minions feel extremely weak compared to GW1.

I’d very much love a account wide dye system, there are so many dyes it wouldn’t effect the sale of them for quite some time.

I don’t think there should be such a low cap on conditions for PVE, it seems kind of ridiculous. I’ve seen the problem with people getting no medals earlier when the event to kill that branded dragon occurred and quite a few necromancers didn’t get any reward at all.

My server is often last in WvW groupings, so when I discovered that your gear is damaged from WvW I pretty much stopped right there until either I can get more gold or my server is matched against a more equal opponent.

I think Anet said there will never be mounts, I’m fine with this as almost every class has a speed boosting skill and the availability of waypoints. The only time I’m personally frustrated with movement speed in the game is in WvW.

A argument I see fairly often against mounts is that it would discourage people from helping others when traveling through the landscape because the time it would take to mount/dismount.

I noticed this earlier and thought it was kind of goofy that buy orders don’t follow the same rules as posting an item.

I’ve always wanted something like this.

Every once in a while is ok in my opinion, so long as it doesn’t turn into nothing but skimpy pandering skins being the only thing they try to sell.

I like the idea of some better items rather than just getting spammed with “tonics of transform into a worthless creature that nobody cares about”.

As it is I’ll never buy a key because they aren’t worth it. I’ll just use the keys from 100% areas. If they ever remove that then I’ll just delete all the chests because they aren’t worth it seriously.

Looks like another anti bot feature that gets in the way of me enjoying the game more.

I’ve seen a suggestion like this before, and I’d agree again. With my comment on the other thread was if you have to be asked to salvage rare and higher gear why not have a confirmation for karma purchases that are a large percent of your karma

While I agree with this comment, the reason that people are complaining is because they want their ultimate end game Legendary weapons ASAP. Since one of the many items is a reward from a 100% World Map completion, people are really impatient about clearing everything on every map.

I’m personally finding it humorous that people want to burn themselves out rushing to get the “ultimate” stuff, then be left with nothing else to aspire to (except repeating the very lengthy process on another character). But it’s their lives and their game, so they’re free to play it how they wish. Just don’t expect all of us to be completely sympathetic.[/quote]

Keep assuming things, you know that old saying about assumptions right?

Completely agree with the OP, its very frustrating being on a server that sucks at WvW. Server changing isn’t an option for obvious reasons.

Might be interesting I would be interested in seeing how xp/karma/loot would be balanced out for something like this.

Also not to be that person that brings up WoW all the time but something like this would also remind me of the big event for opening Ahn’qirajs (sp) gates. Not that its a bad reminder, I think that was fairly interesting.

After seeing firsthand the horrors of how much butter drops and hearing around the forums about how ridiculous the amount of butter and chocolate you get I have a proposal.

A dynamic event featuring the Asura discovering the magical powers of butter and how so much of it ends up monsters inventories.

Or perhaps something like a giant butter dragon from Orr, the brother of Tequatl the sunless?

Never had this problem, from 100% most of the low/starter areas I’ve had around 250-350 jute scraps. Granted I haven’t leveled a tailor crafting character yet I’ve sold quite a bit of it on the TP.

I think something like this will come in due time, almost all other MMORPGs have a function like this so I think Arenanet will want to pick up on it.

I like this idea, main reason I can’t stand playing a Charr is because that goofy out of combat run animation and spamming unsheathe is kind of annoying. With a toggle I could run in a less annoying way, and roleplayers get some more capabilities.

dux.8720:

there isn’t much pve endgame content and you want to level faster?

Well sure since most of the “endgame” is pvp and being 80 gives more traits and money to spend than being level 11.

Agreed, I would like to see this happen sometime in the future too. Just make it like an extra subcategory ie armor>light>gloves

I don’t know about the skill tweaks/changes because it may take longer to balance those than it would to balance what we already have. That said I think most engineer kits could use a slight base damage increase, I almost never use the flamethrower because it hardly has any supportive capability and its damage is very poor.

Combined with your auto levelling toggle thread, it appears to me that you really want a much more traditional MMO experience in terms of levels than the one Guild Wars 2 offers you.

Look dude, I respect your opinion. However mine is this. If I have to kill things and engage in battle with no reward, that is grind. I don’t want the loot from the kills and I don’t want the XP.

When I want a challenge or a fight. I’ll go to a place appropriate for me to gain XP and fight. I don’t mind fighting creatures 3-5 levels above me either. I just don’t want to be level 80 fighting level 14 creatures. For me that is grindy and no fun.

1. You don’t have to fight a single thing exploring the map only for tasks and some skill challenges, I did this earlier when exploring the Charr starter area on my level 60 character just kept on trucking because I’m not forced to fight them.

2. You get loot such as fine materials and sometimes level scaled gear from what I’ve seen.

3. You always get xp.

I don’t mean to be rude but this doesn’t seem like a good idea.

I was kind of in the same boat but I only figured out about hide bags/deposit all collectables when I was around level 65. I don’t think it really needs a bigger in your face aspect to the UI just that they should put this as a TIP in the HINTS/TUTORIAL section of the game.

Oh god the horror of all the butter I find…

They need some sort of parody/joke about this in game, giant butter dragon of obesity in Orr perhaps.

“Try play some WvW and you will see how fast your money will drop (repair bills)”

… dying in WvW breaks your armor?

Yep.

I’d have to agree, after all there is a confirm action for salvaging any item that is above fine(blue) level. There really should be one for large karma purchases but the question is what amount of karma?

This may not only be on Norn, my male human guardian has the some problem sometimes also when equipping a shield and having it sheathed his hair clips through the shield.

I too wonder this, not like it matters for me though all of my event chests have been pretty much junk.

Guess at least I can salvage it or toss it on the TP…

I think the problem isn’t so much mobs packing together and getting dps down, so much as the fact that many events have too many people in them. Thus a mob gets aoe-ed by 10 people while my stubby little char legs can’t get me to the mobs in time to get the arbitrary 1 or 2 blow in in-order to get my share of the xp.

Agreed, some professions have it easier than others. Never had a problem getting enough AoE hits in on mobs with my warrior or lower elementalist, but my mesmer and thief can really struggle in this department.

I hate farming for all these stupid fine materials.

Chest loot is hit or miss for most people, but for me its always miss. Nothing but garbage ever drops for me so I usually don’t bother redoing platformer puzzles only do em now for the achievement.

At night, it seems best for me to focus on making sure my crafting is caught up which can give a lot of xp. Other than that I’m at a loss hopefully somebody else can give a better recommendation.

Avalron.1569:

Drops from drakes got me 1G in like a hour and a half, you can try that.

I think he would be better off farming copper and selling it on the TP honestly.

This frustrates me somewhat too, but what I usually do is go level a different character for a bit or browse the forums.

To the people saying go to another area or insinuate that people are rushing for being hit by this code- this is about limiting the efficiency of what somebody can do in an mmo and different people enjoy different play styles this is a bit silly in my opinion.

I don’t mind anything else about the Charr, and I wanted to play one to see the way their story can play out. But there is one thing I can’t stand, I realize its very minor yet it still gets to me. I’m talking about the Charr run on all fours of course.

I know it may sound silly but I just wanted to see what others felt about it seeing that Charr seems to be a fairly popular race.

So when did this forum turn from players helping players to your personal blog?

I too would be interested in seeing what others think would be the best rifle build for a warrior, getting kind of tired running full melee and could use a change of pace via rifle/ranged. I’m just in the same boat as OP and I’m not really sure if it would benefit more from crit or power for solo.

Sadly it seems that way unless there is a major change later on, I’d give kits another go. I know it varies person to person by play style but they can be pretty cool in some situations only kit I really hate is the flamethrower.

Interesting, whether they are a legit group of people or bots if they stay there too long not much of anything except vendor trash will start dropping for them.

I don’t think it’s wise to make a build completely around turrets as they are very situational on their use, I don’t main an engineer but I didn’t see anything that effects the cool down on turrets.

I usually run my engineer with the bomb kit and elixir supports, kind of has a bomber man feel to it.

Guess it’s all in opinions but my favorite dance is my Norns, I wouldn’t worry too much about it perhaps later Anet will toss a way to get other dances in the game.

1: level 64 here, seen quite a few 80’s haven’t seen a single cape or cloak.

2- Not for me but it’s highly dependent on your pc hardware.

3- Mostly I’ve just seen/heard pvp is the top “end game” goal a long with 100% the world map, first dungeon you’ll encounter will be Ascolonian catacombs in the Charr starter area (forget its name) a lot of people run this. It’s level 30 for story mode and 35 for explorer mode if I remember correctly. You’ll get a in game mail at 30 telling you about it and it can also show its entrance to you on the map.

Not to be rude but Tl;DR, one thing I’ll point out though is I’ve had no trouble killing 3 monsters at once at as an engineer. In fact it’s probably been the easiest class to for me.

Check around some of the other threads that have engineer builds on this forum, should help a lot. Think I saw a few about stacking might with the grenade/bomb kit.

On a few characters I have this problem as well, I mostly think it has to do with the availability of dynamic events ie their cool downs, level requirements accessibility etc.

I usually try to harvest all nodes craft and 100% each map to try and offset this.
