Guild Wars 2

Qugi you are right.

And yeah i was trying to save some money, and ended up spending almost twice as much because i haven’t had the refund from the 3rd party website yet soo yeah:(

Hello there, i didn’t want to bother the Support Team with this soo i will see if anyone can clarify this one for me, and if not then i will file a Support Ticket.

I am a GW2 “Veteran” player i have the core game since January 2013 – For Pre-order expansion bonuses that makes me the so called Veteran Player.

They said they would give a Free character slot(for the normal Edition of HOT) if i bought the Pre-order and i was the “Vet” player which i am, and which i did.

I bought the Pre-order from a 3rd Party website, which many people did and are aware of what happened.

I did bought it and activated it the day before the expansion officialy released. But since i had a Fraudulent key, i had to repurchase the expansion directly from Anet, but it wasn’t a pre-order key now because i only knew about what was going on a few days later when i filed a support ticket asking what was wrong with my account.

I think by now u get where i am trying to go, which is Am I Entitled to a Free Character Slot?

what do you guys think??

Thanks.

Why would they be called “elite” if they weren’t stronger?

Elite:A select group that is superior in terms of ability or qualities to the rest of a group or society.

I fail Engrish though.

They’re elite in the same way skills can be elite in GW2 and were elite in GW1. You can have only one of them equipped at a time. They’re “superior” to normal specializations in that they grant access to equipment and skills not normally available to the class.

No need to say more, you said it all, they are superior to other’s because they can use a weapon and conjure new skils that the others can’t

Also, The Mystic Clovers from Kryta Reward Track (PVP) “Kryta Weapon Skins Box” which contains 2 mystic clovers won’t stack with my Mystic Forged Clovers

To the OP all are extremely annoying but the one that really messes me the most are nº 4/7/10/14

About nº10 would love to see the old GW1 system being implemented in this one, where u farm for example a stack of rare materials that only drop from teq to buy the teq weps or something along those lines ^^

I’ve shown you my Norn Guardian earlier but i’m gonna post it again because i just found out to post images without external links :p

now it’s time for my Warrior Charr to shine, well it shines :p

Here’s my Male Norn

CHIPS.6018:

So I just tried that “Kill 3 Legendary Clockworks” quest. It is nothing but a DPS test. Can we please stop having quests like these?

These quests are saying:
If you are not using berserker gear, go home.

I completly agree with the OP.

These massive events need to be more about players “skill” and Team Effort and less about " OH, We don’t have enough dps nvm".

We need more bosses with phases, that get harder progressivly, and imo we need less,way less events with Time Counters.

Time Counter+ Boss = Dps zerg fest
Time Counter + Boss + ^the same amount of people used in the above but with non-zerker build = fail

Not a so old example, Marionette, they could do more bosses like her, it was challenging, fun and not a Dps zerg fest, it was the fight i have enjoyed the most in my GW2 Adventure

Oh my god… That is terrible. Your attack is almost equal to my power…. This is why people think guards have crap dps.. Please don’t advocate this as a do it all kind of build. This is pure Loot Bag WvW build.

what class do you play on your 2.5k power char???

unless you are a mesmer, im pretty sure you would go down :p

If you are not a mesmer and you consider me a walking loot bag you must really be a PROFESSIONAL at your class

you must be one of these people who think Zerker’s are the best, or not.. ^^

Hello, everyone

First off this post should have gone to “Suggestions”, i’m aware, but honestly there’s not that many people in there at least at this time when patches kick in and i wouldn’t want this post to go unnoticed or at least i want people’s opinion too

About the New weapons skins.

^Anet, whoever designed them, did an amazing job honestly, although i’m with many people on this, i simply don’t like the hearts..
This is where my suggestion comes in,
Please remake them either into the same exact weapons without the hearts, or as i’ve seen some people mention instead of hearts some kind of gems that emanate different colors( pretty much as the hearts work)

I Really love the new weapons design and i would love to have a few of them, at least for me the design is what most weapons could have been, altough there alot of nice skins these new ones even without the “Hearts glowing” are amazing and robust weapons.

^If you Anet ever considers to make this happen i would say either implement them as you did in this one, acquirable through black lion tickets or if they ever make their way to the game maybe make them as rewards to some “new dungeon” or as a reward to a new boss, or some kind of chest.

Now about the Flamekissed light armor, although i don’t own one i’ve previewed it on my norn guardian, and i must say once again Anet did an amazing job on the fire particles, they are nice and smooth, looks like real fire… To me it seems like they’ve been improving the particles effects on the things they’ve been releasing soo far and this remade flamekissed armor (the fire) is the proof of that.

i don’t know if people have realised the same thing i have about the fire but i would say go and take a look and compare the fire on this one to the previous “fiery” skins.

^The Suggestion :p, i don’t know if Anet is still “experimenting” with particles or such but if they did this skin and they pretend on using these new fire particles on new upcoming skins(armor or weapons) please little by little go ahead ( if this is even possible idk) and start changing all the related fire skins or at least the ones that are “on fire”
For example: in a future patch fire bringer Fire particles have been upgraded.
and you could make a weapons per patch(every 2 weeks) or an armor set

Sorry for the long post and please leave your opinions below.
In the end if you think this would be somewhat of an “improvement” for gw2 skins, maybe someone for Anet will read this.

Not all things can be done, but some things can.

Why not :P

WoW Crowd CANNOT be please :P

It’s not that.

It’s that the people playing WoW would rather be playing WoW, where all their work has gone into it. This has been proven time and time again any time a new MMO comes out which is “Like WoW but X”. It’s just a known factor in video games in general – companies would rather back something trying to emulate something proven successful than try something different.

Hence a ton of GTA-like sandbox games of which Saint’s Row started out being. Until it found and lost it’s identity in going more over the top. Or God of War style third-person brawlers with the same atrocious camera. (Lords of Shadow, I’m looking at you.)

And that’s not even getting into things like the Mystery Dungeon games which span many many franchises and are bizarrely popular.

You got a point there, a good point

Kartel.2561:

That seems to be a clear attempt at appealing to the wow-clone crowd (who can never “really” be satisfied anyway).

You are My Hero :p ,..

You just said it all ^ This is the current mmo situation, Everyone is trying to please the WoW Crowd, completly forgetting about the non WoW Crowd and then they wonder why games Fail….

WoW Crowd CANNOT be please :P

I hope that didn’t sound like a hate post, it is just how i feel about the mmo’s situation and i think it should change, let’s see what 2014 brings for the mmo World and mainly for Guild Wars 2 because i’m not leaving yet, i have hope ^^

I’m gonna have to ask.. :s

What the Hell are you talking about?

tolunart.2095:

Did you ever see one of the tv shows like “Hoarders: Buried Alive” about people who can’t seem to throw anything away, even if it’s objectively useless like stacks of 10-year old newspapers?

Yes i have seen these shows, and i agree with you because i tend to do this only in virtual worlds.

Selling the items/materials to get make and then use the money to buy and re-sell is a good idea too, i do that aswell but from the money i get farming for example dungeons not from mats. Currently i have 300g invested in some items that in the next few days i will get something like 1.5x

Thanks for the reply

Hello, since i started playing mmo’s there’s always been something that i think it’s a problem…

whenever i get any kind of loot i think to myself, i might or i will need this later.

Lately, and more than ever in Gw2 i have seen alot of people with the same collecting problem/disorder call it what you want, maybe there’s even a scientific name for it.

Soo here’s just a glance of what i’ve been collecting, and if you guys are doing the same

WOULDN’T you love a tab for it in the bank???

http://prntscr.com/2kdcv5

To me that thing on the left, looks like a Destroyer Chest of some kind

Sir Kaboomski.1508:

I did that once… not that many, but here’s what happened: I ranked up when we capped a camp… I didn’t open the chest, instead I realized I had a stack of liquid WXP, so I used them and gained one more rank aaand… I only got the one chest lol.

I think it’s a bug.

yea after the replies i think soo i have talked with some guys in my guild they said they did it and it just worked normally wihtout nay problems, im gonna write up a ticket to see if anet can help me. thx

rhapsody.3615:

I would submit a ticket. The worst they can do is tell you they can’t do anything. Did you log off without opening some chests?

yes ofc i logged off without opening :p i got all those chests during a whole week :s but in the end only 3 was what i got

Hello, Frozencore here.

Soo 1 week ago i decided it was time to do something about my ranger since he has been lvl 80 for 2 months and i haven’t touched it since.

I decided everyday late at night when wvw on my server is more active i would pick my ranger and go kill some people :p.

In the last week i got to rank 14 in wvw and my idea was to save up all the rank reward chests and open them all at once… ( i know only 3 chests appear above the minimap but they stack and when you go open them they will keep replacing each other)

Soo after all these chests 14+14(14 from the bonus chests from all that time i didn’t touch the ranger) 28 chests i decided it was time to open them and what did i got. 3 chests lvl14, lvl13 and lvl12 rank reward chests and all the others were gone.

Soo am i missing anything here? should i write a ticket? did they open automaticly and i didn’t even notice(soo they could replace each other)???

Thanks in advance for any tip here.

Don’t ever use celestial on guard or anyone!.

Why? I have been playing guardian as a main for a year now, and i can’t really think of me playing anything else besides a guardian for PvE, and believe me i’ve tried.

Guardians have pretty much everything.

After alot of thinking and theory crafting about 8 or soo months ago i come up with this build that i’ve been using until now and i don’t plan on changing.

Traits(0/30/30/10/0)
Armor- Soldier
Runes- Rune of the Soldier
Trinkets (Celestial + soldier backpiece [all ascended])
Weapons – Valkyrie and celestial depending on what im doing i just go up to the inventory and change them really quickly

sword+torch and scepter+shield (variant sword/mace)

I might do a YT video on this or something because i think this is a build that at least every starter player reaching lvl 80 should do.

http://prntscr.com/2h96wg – stats

I have enough Healing Power to heal my self to full at any given time

I have Enough Power(it could be better ofc) but enough to kill large group of mobs or even champions in a reasonable amount of time

I have Some Condition Damage, since my Virtue of Justice Recharges whenever i kill a mob this Condi Dmg helps alot with the damage output in groups of mobs

Thoughness enough tanky

Crit chance 40% + 15% for 1h weps from traits+20% from fury(“Save YourSelves”)
Crit Damage 64%
And 20.4k Health

Some Accolades with this build that i think is might be worth mentioning

Solo – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Champion_Kol_Skullsmasher
Solo – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Champion_Giant
Killing all guards in a Upgraded Camp in wvw and capturing it alone

Soo If any Guardians out there looking for a good build that is balanced and easy enough to be killing things and watching Videos at the same time xD, i guess this might be what you are looking for

Xae Isareth.1364:

The blue and greens argument got me thinking though. What can they give you instead? If they gave you rares as often as blue and greens then rares will become basically the new blues and greens.

The only thing they can do is give us unique rewards I guess.

Actually it doesn’t, i understand your point but they don’t need to the the usual chest rewards..
Instead they could make the 3 keys we will need extremely hard to get and account bound aswell and then they can give us a cool reward on the chest
And Btw when i say make the keys extremely hard to get i don’t mean RNG, that would be the same thing as giving us blue and greens with a 0.1% chance at a cool reward, just make 3 Secondary bosses on the new dungeon super hard to kill, that ppl don’t really need to do unless they wanna spend time thinking how to kill these soo they can get the keys.

I hope my idea didn’t get too messy and you guys get the point

You simply took the picture from a different angle.

Agreed. My plates also seem to be growing

LOL

My problems with meteorlogicus are:

- Footfall effects (the lightning) is horrible
- Night time (way to much purple), a dark blue as the OP mentioned would be nice

Change the above, and imho people will stop “complaining”^

Edit : “Footsteps, People laugh at me when I run because they think the lightning worms that come off the ground when I walk on it look silly. The cloud effects afterwards are cool but really? The animation looks like a beta animation you had sitting in the files and left to gain dust until you decided to give it to us for screwing us over with footsteps.” – I Laughed ^

Locuz.2651:

So what youre saying is that you want 5 man content to be soloable like in wow? Simple tank and spank fights where every single group no matter how bad they do will 1 shot the boss.

There are three things that make this dungeon the best 5 man content ive played so far:

- All fights require a teameffort.
- Fights are based on mechanics instead of zerging a boss down.
- Its hard enough to make it a challenge but doable enough so even not fully optimized pug groups can do it.

If you dont like this struggle. Just wait a few weeks untill the majority of players know exactly what to do + watch some youtube vids to get an idea of the tactics.

Completly agree with you, finally something that’s not about zerg and it’s about teamwork and mechanics.

There’s alot of content for casual players that want easy and faceroll things to do, soo for once Thank you Anet for giving us more “hardcore” players something nice to do.

They can’t always please the casuals, they got to please the others too but they can’t do it both at the same time soo for everyone saying this is boring, or too hard, or too lame don’t worry about it. Your Easy mode stuff is coming.

Meluna.1764:

You need to wait until you get transportet to the next world for achievements to be granted. So after defeating the boss you need to stay around until the timer runs down.

that’s what i did , i even got teleported to the cart room and waited once again till the end to get the free bauble bubble from the generous man

Did W1Z1 Z2 & Z3 TM(Tribulation mode) but didn’t got the achievment

Edit: You can see the three tokens from z1 z2 z3 in my inventory

^This may seem kinda random but that’s the best way i can explain what i read, and it was actually a long time ago near the release of the game

Here you can red what “we” know about it:
http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/473/view/forums/thread/377215/page/1

But the mystery remains…why the choice to introduce in the game atm something from Factions Lore?!

Maybe after all the fuss, they have decided to go with a “Chinese” way instead the “blend”, and Cantha is on the forge?!

Oh nice Thank you and Rouven for the tip

Zindrix.1750:

I’m beginning to wonder if Anet has even considered the impact of all of this “vertical progression”(read: time sink). Ascended weapons will no doubt have higher stats than normal weapons, but they will also probably have higher base damage. This has an even greater impact on the differences between someone geared in full exotics vs full ascended gear.

The issue with this is what happens when you want to change your build? What happens if you dual wield 2 sets of weapons so you need 4 for just 1 build? What happens if you play more than 1 character? 2 characters? 3 characters? There have been other changes that haven’t been alt-friendly and that’s fine, but I think this is becoming too much. I can’t keep up with gearing all of the characters or builds that I play.

---

I realize people are just going to say “you don’t HAVE to get ascended gear”, but I like to play WvW and it’s silly to think that people are running around in gear that is 10-20% more effective than mine just because they play 1 character and I play 7.

I think you have some wrong number there.
Effectively Ascended gear is only 10% better than exotic gear and if you compare an exotic weapon for instance (power, toughness, vitality) + soldier crest with an (upcoming) ascended weapon ^PTV aswell that difference will like +3 power +3 toughness +3 vitality, i can’t see that ruining wvw experience for anyone, unless u think these +3 stats on every piece will make that much of a difference, anyways i get your point and completly understand your side

Anyways just in case you wanna check it out but you have probably already done it

There’s nothing wrong with an asian themed area.

It’s just pandas that are stupid.

Huehuehue

Well, I only phrased it “asian themed” because apparently the upper lobby at NCsoft had a problem with mixing/blending different cultural styles together – thus I would go so far as to say it will very likely not come back as in the few preview screenshots we’ve seen.

What i’ve read about that(no idea when and where),but i read a post that some actual Anet “VIP” (also no idea who it was) but said that they were actually going to release cantha either 1 year ago when the game oficially released or somewhere near the introductions of living storys, but then someone that used to worked in Anet got offended because like you said they “had a problem with mixing/blending different cultural styles together” soo they had to cancel because that asian guy was wanting some serious troubles of some kind..

^This may seem kinda random but that’s the best way i can explain what i read, and it was actually a long time ago near the release of the game

Hello everyone,

I’ve been thinking on this for a while and i decided to post, this idea has alot room for improvement and aswell your suggestions, soo go ahead and leave it.

Soo for those of you that played the first Guild Wars or any other mmorpgs, that would have something for you to do, that with alot of work and dedication would make you feel epic?

Well Guild Wars 2 did it with Legendaries, altough i think it is epic, it should be Account Bound and it should have been done in another way (this is just my opinion)

Soo for start:
1- Legendaries should have been accountbound or even soulbound.
2- It should have been and Epic Quest, where all materials would be up to you to gather and not tradeable items, (currently such as precursors, t6mats etc)
3- It should have been more dungeon based, and since the start of your Legendary Journey since it would be more dungeon based, 5 people to party to beat that, should be mandatory
4- Precursors shouldn’t be RNG, i know they will be changing this soon, but even this new change could have been different. – ex: an extreme hard dungeon that would reward you the precursor of your choice(Soulbound)

^This is just what it could have been different, but moving ahead this is what it could be now.

1- They could implement something like the living story, but permanent, that could be made once per character.
2- Then you would start your journey meeting some new npcs that would lead you somewhere and then you would choose which path you would take your jorney from now on(decide which weapon type you would want)
3- Decided the weapon type it would require you to team up with other buddys that were taking their journey for the same weapon type.
4- Then a whole bunch of steps(this is where i will need your suggestion guys), because i really didn’t gave it much thought yet, this is just a basic idea that would be nice to see improved and implemented imo
5- Then after this long and hardcore journey you would be rewarded at the end with 5 weapons of the same type you choose at the beggining, in this case all the 5 weapons would have 5 different stat combination(knight,soldier,etc,etc) and 1 amazing new skin for each one of these… You would only be able to pick 1 and if you want more you would have to get another character to do so since it 1 time for char and it’s account bound(weapons)

6- In the end you would have your epic weapon with it’s epic skin, from your epic journey,

Hope you guys like this idea, sorry for any grammar errors since im portuguese, and leave your suggestions and in this case if you would like to see this type of reward system being implemented..

Thanks everyone

Any answer from a dev? I still am not sure what happens if I make a bolt for my rodgort. I can’t find information about thi snowhere.

;Hi Ethan, you don’t need an answer from a dev, people already replied to you how it will work, if you have 2 1-hand legendaries like “Bolt” and “Rodgort” on the one in the main hand will show it’s footprints, soo in this case you would see bolt effects.

Other Effects, like arm burning and bolts around your body that will stack.

People that tried it already have answered you, and that information is also on the gw2wiki, no need for a dev answer here imo.

Give us Elder Dragon content or GTFO Anet. I bought this game to kill dragons. Not to play politics and help emo norns/anime charr.

I can see you 2 weeks later after all dragons are released, whining about there’s nothing else to do in the game except to kill dragons.

Maybe not, i can be wrong,that’s just what i think don’t blame me.

^Ranica, i know but when i said i don’t have all the materials i was talking about orichalcum(hilts,blades etc)
i know i only need 1 of these for a test but anyways i don’t have any money at all working on it, and aswell like you said some unknown may need more than that like gifts for legendarys that’s is what is hard :p

Post moar GW2 mysteries, please!

Indeed Keep these mysteries coming, as far as i know and i might be wrong, but in the first 3/4 months after the game went live no one knew about infinite light(1h sword) some1 had do discover it until then it was still a mysterie

One thing that i think that might be well possible but i don’t have all the resources to test it out, is that since most lodestones have at least a mystic forge recipe that makes these nice weapons like infinite light they require 250lodestones and i’ve checked wiki and there are some lodestones that don’t have a 250lodestone recipe on the mystic forge yet, for example – glacial lodestone and corrupted lodestone – but there are recipes for 250 lodestones such as the crystal/charged/onyx

This ^ has been cracking my brains, and i will not rest until i find something :p

Gave a +1 to all three of you guys, i kinda agree with all of you, it is unlikely but possible, let’s see what the future brings us and let’s hope to see some new awesome mystic forge recipes

Until then have fun guys and if you come across any new recipe post it here ;p

Hi Everyone, there’s something that i have been searching for a while both in-game and on the internet and i can’t seem to find a conclusion soo i hope you can help me out here.

I was wondering if it is possible that there is still some unknown recipes on the mystic forge, maybe something that no one has ever tried, maybe some new lvl 80 weapons that no one ever seen before?

Let me know your opinion on this topic guys, really appreciated – Frosty Core
