Guild Wars 2

As Pifil mentioned, some things are once per account/day rather than character/day purely because it would stop people from creating extra characters solely to farm these rewards and have unfair advantage over someone who wants to focus on one.

But when it comes to the ascended materials i think it is due to Anet wanting ascended to feel more like a personal long term goal like legendary rather than just another gear tier that is required for the harder parts of the game.

And as said before they are all account bound, so outfitting all your characters in the same stuff is redundant. I also have to clarify, all other gear tiers give a +25% increase over their previous tier, ascended on the other hand only gives a 5% increase over exotic. That shows that it is more of a bragging right rather than a necessity. So if you really don’t want to take the time to get it then don’t bother with it because nobody is forcing you and the actual benefit is marginal.

Underworld… Unfortunately.

Hey,

I’m a returning player that has been playing on and off since launch, due to the WvW on UW slowly dying out and previous guilds disbanding. As mentioned, I am currently on the Underworld server and play mostly casual PvE like LW, JP, Bosses and some dungeons as well as a bit of WvW. I’m also want to start doing more dungeons, factals and PvP.

I am looking for a friendly EU guild that do regular events and have members that play in multiple aspects of the game.

A re-run of 2010’s april fools from GW would be interesting to see

I’m a returning player that has been away for about 6 months and looking to get back into it. I have 5 80’s and mostly play as either a ranger or warrior. I am mostly a PvE player and would like to get back into dungeon running as well as also dabbling in WvW.

The living story doesn’t need to stop, but rather to slow down. Don’t get me wrong, I do like the living story. Every release has brought me back and kept me interested in the game. But at the moment it just feels like “content” is being pushed for the sake of it. Flame and Frost, although slow at the beginning, felt like it was actually part of a story. It reminded me of TV as I was always interested at what would happen next. The past few haven’t really felt like that and instead i feel burnt out on it. I understand the change from a monthly schedule to “out as soon as its finished”. But nothings to say that they can’t make each release bigger and more complete than they are now. The Jubilee and Clockwork Chaos could have been combined into a single event, as they are already closely linked.

Why do you guys insist that it would have to fit within the current races personal stories? Its already been said that the current living story is based around just the current races, so any extras would never fit in. But why can’t the new race’s personal story run parallel to the current? It could even follow the same format, first few parts linked to character creation while under the guidance of a mentor (who says that it has to be a member of destiny’s edge?). Then the character joins a order (Again theres nothing that says otherwise) to fight a new threat to the specific race. The biggest problem would be the world design and layout. but that could be slowly introduced through the living story.

Edit: Dungeons are another problem but that would be the only part that would be a problem story wise. I should also explain why I would like a new race. The reason is that i found the most interesting part the story is found at the characters origin, the rest ends up feeling the same regardless of the character itself. After you’ve done the story with one character, doing it with alts feels pointless. Adding another race could allow the game to have different storylines, so the character is actually facing a problem that is personal to them.

8 characters, 1 of each class
Unlikely Adventurer – 80 Norn/Ranger
Blind Vendetta – 80 Charr/Warrior
Kurzick Redemptor – 80 Human/Guardian
The Empty Palm – 80 Asura/Thief
Grimm Burntfur – 80 Charr/Elementalist
Muse of Daydreams – 40 Human/Mesmer
Generic Sidekick – 40 Asura/Engineer
Immortal Nomad – 30 Sylvari/Necromancer

Astral Projections.7320:

You get a birthday present on each characters birthday. So if you made them 6 weeks after launch, it will be 1 year later.

Wait, what!? Surely if their character is 6 weeks after launch then they will get their present 6 weeks after launch? Other than the fact it was announced on the same page as the next LS, there is nothing actually linking it with the event. In GW1 the presents were just linked to the individual characters birthday so I think it would be a safe bet on this being the same. It wouldn’t be much of a birthday present if it wasn’t actually on your characters birthday.

Tarage.8632:

It’s specifically saying that my spec isn’t correct, in a game that is supposed to be about any spec being able to succeed.

Are you sure about that? To me says that the game was designed to be easy for any build, regardless of tactics or mechanics, which is obviously wrong. From what i understood about what was said by the developers is that any class is able to succeed in multiple roles in a group, not that any build will succeed in any environment.

If i was you, i would learn about all the skills and mechanics available to the ranger and change your skills to suit the environment. As your pet isn’t helping much then focus on other forms of damage and/or survivability.

PS To clarify I have done all but last running 20/30/20/0/0 with LB/A&H, Zerker with spike & frost trap with wild sig.

8 Characters. 5 L80, 3 L30-40. 1 Norn & Sylvari, 2 Human, Charr & Asura.

80 Norn ranger, 80 Charr warrior, 80 Human Guardian, 80 Asura Thief, 80 Char Elementalist, 40 Human Mesmer, 35 Sylvari Necromancer, 30 Asura Engineer.

But what will the Abaddon fractal actually be of? The war between the gods and his imprisonment? His eventual defeat by the goddess of truth?

Well you can guarantee that it will not involve his single victory, the dance off against the companions of Kormir!

I will remember a 4 month storyline that only actually started on the third month. Having the story actually affect the areas was a nice idea but having just that made it far too hard to care about. I will also remember the introductions and interesting storylines of 2 new characters that merged together to end in a surprisingly good dungeon that i really enjoyed.

But unfortunately the thing that i will remember about F&F the most is how childish parts the GW2 community seem to be. All i hear in game is people complaining about things like

“I’m not bothering with F&F because it ends in a dungeon” What is stopping you from just trying it once? It was far from hard, plenty of people to pug with and it didn’t take that long.
“The finale wasn’t big enough” even though it was even said in-game that this isn’t the end of the living story and it is going to develop into something else in the next update.
“I didn’t have enough time to get the achievements” in the 4 months that this has been going for and ignored the counter on the UI to show them when the dungeon would be ending. Its not like the content took that long anyway.
“What the point in having content if you’re just going to get rid of it the end of the month” even though the living story is meant to represent a “living world” and they are assuming the developers would be stupid enough to just delete everything they created for F&F, of course not, they are probably going to re-release it at some point.
“I can’t get a fused weapon because its only in the BLC” People are seriously crying about not being able to get a big fiery sword. Yes paying to have only having a small chance to get something you want is annoying, but thats the point, Your gambling for something that’s purely cosmetic, nobody is forcing your hand.

Finally, I will also remember that they also introduced the SAB, updates to WvW and Guild missions so if you didn’t like F&F, There was other content out there.
