Guild Wars 2

you don’t need to unlock/complete all new content within minutes of a patch…

honestly the only guilds the influence restrictions will be harsh on are lazy guilds or strictly social guilds which either shouldn’t really care

Sounds like you should give AoC a try, it has a hotkey hybrid combat system which was friggin awesome and a little ahead of it’s time. i personally would love to see more of a hotkey combo system involved with our combo system. For example you lay down a combo field and a “combo tree” would pop up certain skill chains to pull off depending on your weapon (or something). As you skill further down the tree new options are available till you hit the last skill which would be like the blast finisher. This i believe is really the only way to make mmo games more “action oriented” as it were.

Gryph.8237:

I would stab my necro in the eye if they give him a spear. A spear, jesus, why not just give us a stupid 2handed sword, and we can call ourselves anti-guardians, or anti-paladins in cloth armor.

necros do get spears…i reccomend the name One Eye’d Willie

Just make the horrors blow up with the bone minions…they barely last any time at all and this would make them at least minorishly usefull in an aoe setting. 1v1 is a nonpoint because what is it gonna do once the target is dead…

This same reason is literally why i cannot roll a warrior. I didn’t really want to roll the typical soldier looking plate wearing class but rather a bounty hunter type that uses a rifle…then i found out i couldn’t wear a long coat or fedora. Also i know this is an MMO but alot of people still play mmos as if it’s a standard roll playing game. What i mean is some people (myself included) come up with a concept and try to mold that concept into their game (ie: dual wield ranger or 2 handed guardian (warpriest, how kitten would it be running around in robes and plated gauntlets n such swinging that huge hammer).) This might not make for the most efficient char but i’m not a min/maxer really and am more into the class concept i was able to modify to my specific tastes. Where i’m going with this is if they lifted the restrictions for transutation we’d see ALOT more variety in they way everyone looks and make classes in general more interesting to look at and seem like they have a more defined roll inside this fantasy world.

Housing would be awesome if it’s implemented as it was in DAoC. You can upgrade your house over time to make it look pretty kitten and you could show it off! Back then instead of an AH you had to go to the players house to buy their stuff which, yeah it’s inconvenient but for immersion sake (i hold immersion in very high regard) it would be awesome. I’m not suggesting taking out the AH either because it’s just way too convenient but it would kinda add another end game goal (pimp my house lol.)

All I read is “blah blah blah… I run with dagger and I think this is what necromancy is all about, Anet is awesome. WTB moar kitten to suck on. Everyones opinion is invalid.”
Good job bud. Granted immune to damage sounds so ….. kitten its funny.
I miss the days when skeletons didn’t bleed…. when zombies didn’t care about poison. Where wraith-like creatures didn’t care much about getting stabbed.
Instead… all I got is this, streamlined with fat 10 year old closet dwellers in mind, nonsense. One look at the minions and what they do… reminds me Diablo 3 “cow level”… needs more ponies and happy flowers though.[/quote]

usually i’m pretty good with context clues but i really have no idea where you are comming from…his post is correct in saying that our mechanic is ds not minions? i do agree about the skelly/zombie point though. Back in a game called Darkness Falls the Crusade i played a skelly character and not being able to be bled or poisoned was pretty awesome…but that was a loooong time ago.

Honestly why not have gear progression. Once you max out gears and have done the content to death to get it what are people seriously just gonna pvp 24/7? no they will quit. with more gear and more content that needs that gear you get to play the game more. Now i know new content isn’t necessary for that but really, how many times are you willing to play the same game over and over? i’ll give most games 2 maybe 3 playthroughs (if it’s an rpg) but honestly once you beat it, how many times do you play it again till an expansion or dlc comes out? same concept imo

i just find it too ironic that the instructor is telling her to switch because she’s better with knives when an ele can still use daggers to a very successful degree

i hope they eventually add all weapons to every profession. it would add a ton of diversity to the profs and we’d see all sorts of creative builds.

This game would win forever if Godzilla showed up on the 15th!

thanks for the info guys! this will definately help in queing up skills together rather than just shooting and strafing in a circle til something is dead

i don’t think the op is talking about irrelevant content as much as he’s posting about the novels some people write up on the subject. seriously some of these posts are over 5k characters o.O

i blame the DoA games. but on a more on topic note i think alot of guys make girl chars because a few years ago people would just mail you or trade you items for brownie points and it just kinda stuck around.

Hello all, i’ve been mainly playing a guardian to get an idea of how the combat system works in this game and understand their use of combos since they put a giant circle on the ground. i love the concept of using guns so i thought i’d give an engineer a shot (lol) but am completely lost on how to combo things. My question is how? what makes the giant combo rings on the round for an engineer? i just can’t figure it out. Any help is appreciated!!

awesome video…and was that music from the ducktales game?!?! epic

edit: guess i shoulda waited till the end of the vid lol

i don’t think they are “pets” so to speak but more minions of the diablo variety. similar to a necro in d2 you didn’t “control” your pets just let them wreak havoc on anything that moves. and they do have a purpose other than just existing with their utility abilities, albeit sometimes it’s a bit hard to aim them.

one grind i do wish they would implement is factions. i think taking sides in a zone would make you feel more invested in what’s going on instead of just looking for an orange icon to go blow up

the combat system in this game PROMOTES not getting hit, wtf was that guy on lol

after 12 hours i BEAT IT! seriously this deserves to be in castlevania 3 or something, that was some nuts hard platforming

if you don’t pay no tolls then we don’t get no rolls…

anyone on a pvp server most likely would not care at all about the pve, all they would have to do is make lvling in pvp viable. you still scale to whatever level an area is which would reduce ganking a LOT i would think. and can’t you level from wvwvw? so the pvp level code is already there.

best open world pvp ever was when DAoC released the pvp servers. no realm guards just straight up fighting everywhere. didn’t even matter what faction you were in just grab a guild group and have epic guild wars….with the entire server!

totally agree, i didn’t even know it was a slider i thought it was just completely borked. either way we should be able to type in the number regardless.

has anyone actually joined the circus? i saw that and was like really? the circus? in the middle of war that is 33% of our storyline options? anyways is it a compelling story arch?

i’d say they look more like those alien critters from galaxy quest but a cabbit pet would rock!

My only real problem with youtube is that, being a little hard of hearing, nobody enunciates worth crap!! I mean if you are gonna release a video or video series..script! It’s super easy to look up the pronunciations of words this day in age so there’s no excuse. It’s like youtube is the new reality tv of the internet and people literally just make videos to hear themselves…albeit very poorly spoken most of the time. (In no way am i slamming non primary english speaking persons either. in many ways they often times speak clearer just with a heavy accent).
