Guild Wars 2

Just adding my name to this, getting the same issues. :/

Having the same issues.

Steeldragon.7308:

Options for different voices

While different voices would be nice they would have to hire new people to record thousands of lines of dialog.

I think a more realistic option would be like a pitch slider, that way you could at least choose a deeper or higher pitched voice.

I found a really good place for rugged leather and linen cloth, you can make about 20 of each every 10-15 minutes plus all the other drops and junk you make along the way.

Unfortunately I can’t tell you where… Wouldn’t want to lose all my profits.

Zenith.7301:

To me this visual culling is stupid.

In FFXIV, you have an option to cull OTHER PEOPLE’S EFFECTS, and leave yours intact.

Exactly how it should have been done here! >:(

Submit a ticket to support, they should be able to fix it for you.

Everything you’ve missed.

Definitely not ready to go live.

Like Isarii.2804 said balance is an issue at the moment but I’d also say lack of polish is a problem too. There are lots of little issues that aren’t really bad but they all add up to put a bad taste in my mouth.

Things like in the story mission we can play, NPCs will talk to each other like they are face to face only they don’t face each other and one of them will be in the camp while the other will be miles away or NPCs running at ungodly speeds to catch up to you because they fell behind.

Little things that really ruin the feel of the game and the immersion for me.

I’d be happier if they pushed release back a month to really make what they have shine rather than push it out on the 23rd and fix things later on.

So…. Basically you want them to take the Warlock class from World of Warcraft and put it into Guild Wars 2?

………no.

Sure no problem… Can we get 5 seconds of immunity against power based damage after receiving some form of healing too? /s

IGN gonna get sued!!!

Don’t know what you’re on about, I have 4 in a stack sitting in my bank…

Here’s an idea that would be easy to implement and still keep the same kind of mechanic sw#3 already has.

Cut the base damage by 1/3 and make it apply 3 stacks of bleeding normally but if the enemy is under 50% HP it applies 6 stacks instead.

So above 50% HP it would do 336 base damage and 3 stacks of bleeding for 8 seconds. (528 damage)

And below 50% HP it would do 672 base damage and 6 stacks of bleeding for 8 seconds. (1056 damage)

Maybe increase the cooldown from 15 seconds to 20 if it’s too unbalanced.

Karl McLain.5604:

Deflecting Shot: We’re looking at increasing the damage values of this ability, so that it has a bit more impact to it.

Karl, I’ll be honest, I don’t think increasing the damage values of a defensive skill like that is the right way to go. I feel a much more interesting approach than just turning it into another damage skill with some flavor would be to play more with the projectile blocking part of it, making it a truly unique tool for the dragonhunter, and something with more purpose in the skill bar than “that skill you fire when on cooldown for some extra damage”.

I suggested a few pages back that the skill had a larger collider (like, far larger than it is currently), and moved slower, in order to function as a projectile deflection skill better. Currently, the skill’s projectile deflection function might as well not be there, due to the size and duration of the projectile (similar to how zealot’s defense is hardly ever used as anything other than point blank DPS, but i digress). Another poster suggested making it comparable with the mesmer shield skill (minus the part where it winds back to the player, of course). I feel that even if that meant a significant cooldown increase, it would be worth it, just to have a cool, unique and functional skill that serves as more than just DPS (after all, true shot already covers that).

THIS!

Don’t know about you guys but what I saw of it in the live stream it looks really lack luster.

Would have much rather had something a bit more exciting than a skill that just lowers the cooldown on other skills. :/

Maybe they could change it to something like this? https://youtu.be/zbzVPMHQXD8?t=1m8s I think it would fit better.

I’m getting the same thing…

I Don’t know if this will help, I don’t really understand what it means myself but I’ll post it here anyway.

Just popping in to add my name to this. +1

I think the Engineer utility skills will be physical just like the Warrior’s… I mean they are getting hammer which will put them at close range so it makes the most sense.

All this talk of “Well it’s a support spec so it wont have high DPS”…

The staff is not tied to the legend… You can use any weapon with any legend.

Just because they spoke about the spec and the staff in the same blog post doesn’t mean you HAVE to use them together.

Turamarth.3248:

It’s a bug that sometimes happens. I don’t know whether one can deliberately cause it.

Teutos.8620:

It seems to be lag related.

Basically they are not lying down on the location shown ingame. They can still be killed if you find the real location.

btw: They can’t be rezzed too, so also a disadvantage.

Hmmmmm, interesting. I guess it’s possible for lag to cause that… But I mean I wasn’t lagging at all, no one on my team looked like they were and they were also still able to be rezzed. :/

So I’m pretty new to sPvP but I played a few games today and noticed something that I’ve never seen before.

I’m not sure if it’s a bug or someone doing something dodgy but every time in 2 different games I would down a Necro (one of them MAY have been a thief, I don’t remember) and neither me or anyone else on my team could stomp them.

They didn’t fear anyone or anything like that, the animation would play but no matter how many times we all tried to stomp them it just wouldn’t work.

At one point there were 3 of us all trying to stomp them and we must have tried to stomp them like 5-6 times between us and it still did nothing.

The only way we could take him out for good was to just keep hitting him from outside his range.

Is this a bug, someone “hacking” or some hidden technique I’m not aware of that’s stopping people from stomping?

Feel free to hit me up darkcyn.

I’m in South Australia on Crystal Desert and wouldn’t mind meeting someone in the same time zone.

Though in saying that I’m somewhat picky when it comes to who I spend my time with but I’m willing to give you a “trial run”. lol

Obtena.7952:

OH nice, something that is HARD.

It’s not even difficult, it’s just frustrating.

The enemies don’t really do much damage, not that they even really attack you.
They just focus the NPC and continue to heal themselves.

That and the enemies continue to heal themselves back up to full regardless of any poison currently on them.

As of this post beta will go live in 7 hours 17 minutes… Unless Anet change things for some reason.

RoseofGilead.8907:

I think you’d be safe, as long as you’re not advertising to sell, especially if you’re careful with how you phrase your LFG listing. “Making a group for a gathering node run” or something like that would probably be just fine. Or you could try just doing map chat again.

I usually say “Free home instance harvesting. Feel free to come on my harvesting run afterwards.”

Just a flesh wound.3589:

OP, just announce in map chat that you will let people in your home instance to farm. You’ll get lots of takers and won’t have to worry whether this is allowed or not in the LFG.

That’s what I did at first and people just told me to use the LFG tool.

Guess I’ll send a ticket into support and see what they say even thought It’ll likely just be some automated blanket response that doesn’t really answer my question. :/

So every day when I log in I go on a harvesting run. This run starts at my home instance as I have quite a few harvesting nodes in there.

Everyday I do this I advertise in the LFG tool to see if anyone wants to come harvest my nodes and that they are free to join me on my rounds.

My question is, is it against any rules to do this?

I just had someone join my group just to abuse and threaten me saying that I’m being reported for abusing the LFG system and that I’m going to have my account banned.

Is this true?

As far as I know being a nice person and sharing my harvesting nodes isn’t against any rule… I mean I’m not charging people and if they didn’t want us to do that then why do they even let us bring people in there to start with?

I just thought I’d ask here in case I’m wrong. :/

Celtic Lady.3729:

Did you make that account just so you could respond to this thread? lol

No, I’ve been playing since the game was in closed beta.

Jarvis.9540:

Logged in just in time for Teq. Killed him. Got loot. Went to Maw. Killed him. Genesis dropped. Shouted hurray! D/C’d. Logged back in. Genesis gone. FML.

No need to despair, I am here. Everyone can relax.

And a trading post guy too please. :P

That’s the PvP community for you, tends to be like that in most if not all MMOs.

I’ve played since beta and have only ever had 1 person whisper harass me and very very rarely get gold spam.

Anytime you put a competitive mode in a game you will end up with sore losers and when the game has a large amount of children playing… well that number increases.

They have said they are planning to bring it back but they are focusing on HoT at the moment. So fingers crossed, I missed it too.

I’m about to lose control and I think I like it!

You seem… Upset.

Yes it will do decent damage and still heal. They showed it in the live stream.

If these changes end up happening I think it’s because they plan to turn Tomes into an actual weapon class.

Who wouldn’t want to wield a magical book as a weapon!?

Step 1: Place all traps.

Step 2: Use Greatsword skill 5.

Step 3: Pull all enemies in.

Step 4: PROFIT!

Sparky.5064:

Also another question that is kinda of topic. I see there is an expansion on its way. I have read up on this expansion on this site, but i have no clue what im reading lol.

In a noob kinda way, what will this expansion change or add in the game?? New items? More end game content? Upgraded animations or what?

The expansion basically adds more end game content, the level cap is not changing thought because the devs do not want everyone’s time and effort building up their characters to all of a sudden mean nothing.

There will be a new story, new areas, a new class (the Revenant) and new ways to play the original classes. Among other things.

I did a smelly poo.

Sorry but your friend is lying… The mystic forge doesn’t work like that.

It would be impossible to get even a masterwork item out of 4 whites let alone an exotic.

Here are a few of mine.

• Exemplar Attire Outfit
• Jungle Explorer Outfit
• Exemplar Attire Outfit
• Balthazar’s Regalia Outfit
• Ceremonial Plated Outfit

The last thing we need is another 75% off sale… The amount of bots running around is ridiculous.

Doflamingo.6957:

First to say that Guild Wars 2 has sold over 8 million copies which makes it the second most successful mmo after WoW (they both came out the right time thats why they became so famous) but it has 2 mistakes not in gameplay they are diferent mistakes.

1st: the Norn race, i mean what is the point of this race they are just 100% humans but taller nothing special about them shouldnt we better play as the white polar bears with armor instead of Norns? ESO (which is a dead mmo) did same mistake 3 human races 3 elf races and even the orcs look like humans with big teeth there

2nd: The 2 of the elder dragons Jormag and the water dragon they are almost the same what is the difference between ice and water one of them should be light based or wind we have elder dragons based on darkness,fire,earth,nature and water+ice? lol

Apart from that its a perfect game and it will never die until 10 years after the last expansion propably

Firstly, the Norn are not just tall humans and secondly… Who’s this water dragon you’re talking about? If you’re talking about Zhaitan then no… He not not a water dragon.

Here is everything you need to know about the elder dragons. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Elder_Dragon

Perhaps each race will get it’s own special channeled legend instead.

Blacktalon.5681:

I really feel that Legendaries need to be more powerful. More stats, some type of specific power to that item( Ex. Thunderfury had 40%ish chance to proc 5 tornadoes that would attack closest targets, drawing a lot of threat), and overall more damage. IMO, a legendary should do more than 5% extra damage and stats.

If that’s the kind of thing you want then go back to playing WoW.

Thankfully GW2 is not WoW.

If GW2 started to require a subscription to play then I would stop playing it… I don’t like feeling like I NEED to play.

And that’s coming from someone that spends $100 a month on gems!

I believe this answers your question, I was curious myself since my main is an engi.

Thanks for that, so looks like Anet just needs to fix up the UI to make it clear when and if things are working as stated.
