Guild Wars 2

one thing i would like fixed is that weapon swap sigils don’t trigger on using the photon forge. Feels like it should as its giving me different weapons while using the forge. Im loving the holosmith. Even the self damage has a lot of interesting play to it. Like using A.E.D to fully heal the damage i take when I overheat

With the news of an expansion and with it being set in the crystal desert it got me thinking of palawa joko and his Egyptian mummy theme. Would love to see an outfit that would make you look like a embalmed mummy with Egyptian armor

Had another idea on how to fix the gyro’s. Instead of trying to fix the AI on each gyro why not remove them all and replace them with one large gyro ‘forge’ bot and make it the specialization mechanic. It would follow you around much like the necro blood fiend. Give it some kind of auto attack or passive buff to the engi. Then make the gyro skills be constructs the ‘forge bot’ manufactures. Examples, the blast gyro skill when used a gyro is constructed at the ‘forge bot’ then sent out like a projectile. The shredder gyro is a bit meh. Keep it as a whirl finisher BUT also add some pull CC to it as if its a mini tornado sucking things towards it. The bulwark gyro could be changed to where the ‘forge bot’ generates one gyro every 1 sec for 8 seconds. These gyros are small ‘energy shield’ bots that circle the engineer much like the guardians shield of wrath skill providing 1 block each (no AI needed just animations). The purge/sneak/medic gyro’s could just be removed and the mechanics just added to the single ‘forge bot’.

The problem people are having with hammer skill 3 isnt to do with the skill itself. Its the targeting options they are using i think, namely the ‘promote skill target’ option. When the hammer skill 3 is used if any of the lead up leaps to the target hit another enemy they finish the leaps at the new target. I think thats whats going on.

Another suggestion for fixing any gyros that need to keep up with the engi (heal,bulwark,elite). Use the tech from the dragon hunters spear of justice to give the gyros a ‘energy tether’ attached to the engi. When the engi moves out of range of the gyros AOE effects the tether is broken, then the gyro’s ‘blink’ to the engi and reapply the tether. Would need to add some effects to make the ‘blinking gyros’ make sense.

The heal gyro needs work, here’s how you fix it. Instead of a AOE that it pulses a heal in (which the player is next to never in because of movement). Take the tech of the dragon hunters spear of justice. The heal gyro gets that kind of tether to friendly players that pulse heals instead of burn like the spear of justice. In that way the heals are reliable and with the tethers it would be visible. Friendly players would see who’s tethered and know whos getting healed and enemies would be able to see the gyro easier and be more likely to want to take it out.

it was a 5 or a 4 for me. Really liked what i saw, can see a lot of possibility’s for the spec in wvw

Here’s how i would improve revenants. Not having them able to weapon swap and locking them into range or melee is a big downside. What they could do to fix that isn’t to give them a weapon swap like other classes but to have their ‘weapon swap’ change the ranges on the weapon skills themselves. In other words the skills stay the same its only the ranges on the skills that change. Have melee weapons be around shortbow ranges and ranged weapons (the hammer) get greatsword ranges and a cleave.

I would like to point out that Anet have added trinkets with effects to them namely the poly trinket that change your characters color and the queen bee that adds a aura of bees. They dont need to add ascended trinkets to 500 crafting, just cosmetic jewels that add aura’s.

When using the ‘electro lime’ dye, after i hit apply the color takes over other dye locations in the dye window. However the in game character has the proper dyes in the right locations. I re-loged and the preview window was back to normal however when using electro lime again it did do the same thing.

This is why i find it so surprising, dont people still have tons of the wintersday mining tools that give the tiny snowflakes? Its not like the amount of them coming into the game every day is low.

A few days ago i saw that i had sold a few tiny snowflakes at 2c each from when i wanted to make some room in my inventory. Thought that was odd as i had seen that there was 14 million or so tiny snowflakes listed at 2c ahead of my listing. Checked the TP, they where all gone and only 3 million where now listed at 2c. That made me take notice. Though i should by up a few stacks myself and re-list higher. To my surprise they sold at 8c. Any idea whats going on?

Here was my idea, undead crows. It would match the look and feel of the Reaper. They could use the models from the orrian eagles and the AI of parrots from the privateer runes. It would mix it up more than just adding the same old undead types we have now.

Watching the stream they talked about maybe having other minions other than jagged horror’s. Which got me thinking, why not have undead crows? It would match the aesthetic of the Reaper. Maybe use the risen eagle models in Orr with the AI of the parrots from runes of the privateer.

Bob would have been a good name

After a long stressful day at work I check the gw2 reddit. Read over the coming engi changes (mortar kit, hobo sack removal) and felt joy in what was otherwise a grim day. Just wanted to say thx.

Yes it was a bit obnoxious when it was every sylvari mob in the toxic alliance. However having vets, elites, champs have a down state plus add mechanics for that state would make it better. Have them have their own set of down skills plus have mobs change what they are doing when a vet, elite, champ, goes down near them. Maybe some mobs try to rez or knock-back/immobilize. Or you have mobs like the mordrem menders that we have now that heal friendly mordrem have an extra skill like our revival skills. If the menders aren’t being attacked, interrupted, killed they could rez the champ from his down state.

The only reason I can think of people not wanting finishers used on some human form mobs in PvE would be people saying “MY IMMERSION!” in map chat.

…finishers in PvE. Back during season 1 with the toxic alliance Anet had the sylvari mobs stompable. Loved being able to see/use my finishers in the game mode I spent the most time in. But since then we’ve seen nothing else added. Would love to see some mobs in HoT that where stompable. Maybe those human form mordrem that we’ve seen in HoT. Am I the only one that wants this to happen?

Saw a bot just now in silverwastes around the Northern Shelf area, was running to area’s where chests ‘could be’ then swinging the shovel. Watched it for 5 mins till i was sure. No way a player would be swinging at empty area’s with no mounds and yet be exactly where chest ‘could be’. I reported it but most times it feels like ‘reporting’ does next to nothing.

With the april fools event going on in gw2 right now I would love to see a gw2 movie trailer done in the style of 1930’s ‘Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow’. With all the talented people in the gw2 community I’m sure there’s someone that can pull it off.

A few things i noticed from the stress test. Not being able to reach the master point on the stone tower without glitching it with a leap skill and mashing F. The revenants traits that make ‘healing orbs on energy skill use’ don’t seem to work or the orbs just aren’t visible. The rivers around the WP had very distinct segments (could see the lines where river sections joined). Also the rivers had a weird bug where the water around my character would appear see through. Lastly I HATE the way the revenant holds the hammer. When the weapon is wielded he’s looking right over his shoulder, the shoulder with all the spikes. The shoulder spikes that he cant see through. Tho that would explain how the revenants became blind, shoulder spikes to the eye’s hahaha.

This is a work of art, it moved me

I hear people saying the same old thing over and over for what they want for the expansion, more weapon options, new weapons, new classes, new race, etc. While these are all thing we would like to see I haven’t seen anyone mention the one thing I would love to see.
Dyeable weapons!

Think about it, how many weapons you don’t use because the color doesn’t match the look your going for? How cool it would be to change the color of the particle effects on weapons, change the colors on legendary’s etc.

Am I the only one playing GW2 who would love this?

Anyone else see the people wielding what looks to be poleaxes and spears in the Heart of Thorns trailer? In pic 1 you can see what appears to be a poleaxe wielded by a soldier on the left. In pic 2 you see a spear impaling a dead soldier. In pic 3 you see a spear in the hands of a nightmare court soldier. In pic 4 you see Faolain impaling a soldier with a nightmare harpoon (spear). So well these be the same spears as the underwater versions or maybe a separate on land version?

I’ve play GW2 since the 2nd press beta when 10,000 lucky people where allowed to play. I’ve had my ups and downs with the game. Namely when my small guild of in game friends died because of guild missions. Then when they ‘improved’ the trait system making me dislike leveling alts, now this. This is it for me. Before the change i played pve or fun and would get my daily done where i was having fun. They’ve taken that away. I’ve left my guild because I’ve had nothing good to say about the game anymore and didn’t want to fill guild chat with my anger.
I have spent nearly 2000$ on GW2 over the last 2 years, i had the money and i like shinny armor/weapon skins. Never minded since the money was going to Anet to make game better, or so I thought. I feel cheated. Like i was giving them money all this time to make me hate the game i used to love.

yep these boss fight have ticked me off, I’ve given up on doing the achievements an the rest of the living word updates to come. If this is what i can expect count me out.

Was running around the library when I came across these really blocky looking cats, so blocky they could have been from Super Adventure Box. So blocky event Job-O-Tron facepalmed

Halloween was the last straw for me, its MUCH less than last years an MUCH less fun. I think ill be going now as this game has turned into a steaming pile of kitten

IF they where endless i would buy it but like much else in this game its a waste of money

this year it should be called Hallo-Less, they cut out a mini game (reapers rumble), the mad king an witches outfit, an the old skins. Also they only added 3 skins this year that all look meh.

whats in the box? Why RNG skins you’ll never get. Opened 2000 gems worth of chests an got no skins last year. So this year they can shove it.

I’ve given up, not just on this dragon but on gw2. Been closing my guild down an moving my members to another guild then I’m done with this game. This fight, the grind and time gating an the fact that gw2 is VERY alt unfriendly has done me in.

im invested into the celestial orichalcum inscriptions since there at vendor prices, seems i wont lose out on much if they dont go up in price in the next 3-4 months.

maybe people are able to get it from the mystic forge from other cheaper rares?

With this patch we got mindless farming an a good 5 minute solo instance with good dialog an story telling for once.

If i wanted to do mindless repetitive tasks I’d play WoW.
Im not even doing my dailys anymore my enjoyment of this game has turned to ash. They better blow me away with what ever is going to happen for the 1 year anniversary. I loved gw1 an was in love with gw2, hell i got into the 2nd press beta for gw2 an have played 1880 hours. With all the things Anet keeps doing this just isn’t the game they said it would be, an I wanted it to be.
It started with the RNG chest skins (spent 150-200$) got one skin (shoulder pad). Ascended gear. Then came ‘guild missions’ an our small guild was so excited for it. Then we just kept failing because of our low numbers we gave up. Then came flame an frost, hitting signs so fun. Now its time gated crafting, mindless farming for massive profit. An to come in latter patches crafting to lvl 500 with TIME GATED GRAFTING MATS.

There are no words for how im feeling.

Dear Colin, for the love of god change your picture on the twitch page, that smile looks like something you’d give a dentist. No offense

i think they’ll fall as people that are saving them decide to sell an start undercutting each other. Then as people see the prices falling more well panic an sell. But other investors well buy them up as they go onto the TP, the ones that can sit on them for 6 months till they can make a good profit on them.

Want to play the drinking mini game with your friends forever?

100 gold. Pay up. Oh an have fun.

oh ya thank you Anet, now I’m done playing your game it’ll this garbage is gone for good. Well done.

Because they hate RNG box’s that rip them off. Because they hate when content comes out (Dragon Ball) and they cant play it with friends/guild mates. Because there guild of friends died when ‘Guild Missions’ came out and people HAD to join a large guild to do the content. Because of the grind/nerfs, etc.

I see that Vayne.8563 is a gw2 apologist. Saw that you replied to every negative post and try to dismiss the complaints raised. 2-5 replies an hour, every hour, seems like you work for Anet or have a Colin Johanson picture hanging on your wall.

Guild Missions are garbage an the worst thing added to the game to date. They are only doable with large guilds that have 50+players on at that time who all have 80’s an a large part of the world map done. Its the death of small guilds the end of ‘fun with guild members’. My guild of 120 players have given up on them, we only have 10-20 on at one time an half of those dont have a 80. Hell we lost 10-20 members when we failed the guild bounty mission for the second time.

Yes but how many well players be able to farm before southsun living story is done an no more end up dropping? How easy is it to get? An how strong is the demand? Im not sure what mini’s to invest into right now (Faren, Kasmeer, Reef Rider) so im investing alittle into all 3.

does any mob drop them or only say karka?

ZudetGambeous no one bought the wintersday skins because they looked like kitten I wouldn’t want those skins if they where free.

As someone who has spent $300 on RNG chests, Halloween/consortium chest/wintersday an now the crates. I can say it hasn’t been worth it. Opened 100 Halloween chests and got nothing. Opened $60 worth of wintersday presents and did get enough to get foostivoo but no ticket to get a weapon skin. Opened 10 of the crates an got 1 shoulder skin that’s been around since the karka event. Not to mention all the BL keys I’ve bought.

I’ve bought ITEMS on the gem store an i get what i pay for, i buy RNG and i get a pain in my anus.

i agree, my guild mates went to the worm event and only half of us got credit. The worm died so fast.

Why did you change it so the dungeon runes couldn’t be sold on the TP? I was able to buy runes of the monk of the TP before, then next thing i know you cant. Why?!
I hate your dungeon more than anything in gw2, i hate them more than the karka, i hate them more than the undead in Orr. Why are you trying to make your game worse for people? An the price of 120 dungeon tokens is kittening crazy for a superior rune, i don’t want to do your dungeon at all let alone 2 times per rune. Oh and the fact that if you happen to get a rune from the dungeon from a chest its unsellable AND soulbound?!!!

Because Anet hates players that play more than one toon
