Guild Wars 2

Malediktus.9250:

How many more threads do people need to make about this? There are plenty already.

As many as it takes to get the set back.

I agree with the OP – the town skins should be able to be transmuted to armor. That would make them soulbound, so you’d have to reeeaaallly be sure before doing it, but it should be there if you wanna do it.

“Pieces of this set were unlocked through the previous structured PvP reward system. Players cannot currently obtain it.”

Please, can we have this for PvE? Outfit? Gem Store? Something?

Sartharina.3542:

I want Lord Faren’s Maguuma Jungle outfit for my female charr.

I want it for everyone.
All my toons would be rocking that loincloth

Since helm, gloves, and shoulders all have a hide option now… why not just make shirts hide-able too?

Please?

thangard.7618:

i think it will be a good idea, i have a norn warrior and i always thought it will look more savage and barbaric in his bare chest like the mossman form fractals. Also in some models and arts of gw1 norns where showing thier chest too.

I think it would be an excelent idea for some character conecpts

Talonblaze.3175:

I could care less about the skimpiness or whatnot.

However, I’d be more than happy to see more of my Charr’s awesome fur pattern and the torso area does provide the most of it. It’s such that makes most Charr unique from each other besides armor after all, that and such detail is a shame to cover up.

nymshade.5178:

This is actually a good idea, but as posters above me said, it should be for male and female characters.

Not trying to say it just for people to be skimpy, but norn could show off theyre tattoos, charr could show off their stripes and actually go supersaiyan with that new hairdo.
As long as the characters are wearing something underneath their armor, theres not a problem with this idea.

While were talking cosmetic changes, why not get rid of transmutation charges instead of punishing people who want to change clothes on the go? I mean they did it with trait points, and if they really need the money that bad they could just do the boxed expansion idea that everybody is already ready to throw $40 down on ( playable quaggans and kodans pls ). Being able to dye weapons would also be a neat idea but some weapons are just lame recolored versions of other weapons so that might upset people.

Going back on topic, this idea should have been implimented already. If the reason people have a problem with it would be because of people making female characters and wearing no clothes, all i have to say is its a legit strategy! Especially when playing as a skimpy female character gives you the advantage of distracting your opponant! Who would be able to combat you when they dont even have theyre hands on the controls?! Perfect legit strategy.

Schwarzseher.9873:

I loved it to whip the crap out of the Charr prisoners, everytime I heard the crack sound the Ascalonian in me laughed.

Im secretly supporting the Seperatists of Ebonhawk.

This.

- I played GW1 since it came out, and this since it came out. I’m an Ascalonian through and through.
- Every time I see a Charr NPC or PC, my first instinct is to kill them.
- I had to remap the key I used to use in GW1 for auto-attack so I wouldn’t automatically click it every time I had a Charr in my sights… enemy or not.
- I PvP just to kill Charr
- I want the Separatists to become a playable faction
- I level up alts by hunting Flame Legion, nearly exclusively, and mapping
- Sometimes I log into GW1 just to kill Charr

I may have issues with the Charr.

Oh
- I think Asura are the cutest little gremlins ever

Yet another reason why I still have GW1 installed. Sometimes I just have to play something that works.

Akuni.8604:

I mean there’s literally no one running around with the skin anymore as they most likely left the game and it’d still take some work to finish the skin..

Perhaps you need to look up the word, “literally.”
In any case, I’ve been wearing my Mad Memoires backpack since the event started.

Yes, I have both skins, and I don’t mind one bit if new people get them. Doesn’t change what’s in my wardrobe. What do I care?

“Jungle Faren” Outfit
“Southsun Faren” Outfit.

Request: Necrotic Backpack to match the wings… separate purchase of course, for those of us who already bought said smexeh wings.

Well, let’s see. We were present when the Bloodstone exploded.
We actively hunt creatures and “blood-crazed” people for their unbound magic, to “store” it.
We mine bloodstone crystal nodes for dust and rubies.
Some of us have glowing red eyes from hunting shards and creatures.

No, we’re not blood-crazed… everyone else is…
Need… more…. rubies…..

Seth Moonshadow.2710:

• Shared “toy box” with 20 slots for all our tonics, broomsticks, bobble-heads, kites..etc…etc (could be a gem store item)

This!

The old GW2 LA had more of a lived-in feel, and felt like it was designed by a real artist. It was perfect, from the platforms to the mini-mazes to the sewers, and everything in between. I loved exploring it.

This new one is EPCOT meets Sea World. Boooorrrrriiiinnnnng.

GW1 Scar and Tatoo armor as either Outfits or Armor Skins

Also:

43 pages, and the solution was on page 1:

Lishtenbird.2814:

Disliked it 5 days ago, dislike it now.

Lishtenbird.2814:

The new Daily system which hand-holds clueless and aimless players is, accidentally, once again leading to additional limits and constraints for loyal veteran players, which will turn dailies for casual players into even more of a chore and annoyance – just like the Traits (67 pages) and NPE (17 pages) changes did.

PROBLEM

According to this article, players will only have 4 fixed PvE dailies, and they will have to do at least 3 of them to get the daily reward. However, the problem is not with the amount, but with the requirements of new dailies:

• Daily Ascalon Forager
• Daily Maguuma Wastes Vista Viewer
• Daily Malchor’s Leap Event Completer
• Daily Fire Elemental

Let’s look at what this means:

• Bring your character to a region you might not have or don’t want to explore yet (new Sylvari player in Caledon Forest) to harvest stuff there.
• Bring your level 80 character which you might not have to a region you might not have or don’t want to explore yet and find a vista there.
• Bring your almost level 80 character which you might not have to a region you might not have or don’t want to explore yet and look for events across that map.
• Log in at specific time after looking up times at external websites (no in-game schedule exists) and bring your character to a region you might not have or don’t want to explore yet.

How is it different from the current PvE dailies?

• Daily Kills
• Daily Reviver
• Daily Events
• Daily Gatherer
• Daily Leveler
• Condition Applier
• Daily Kill Variety
• Daily Recycler

Let’s look at what this meant:

• Kill stuff while playing the game when, where and how you want.
• Revive stuff while playing the game when, where and how you want.
• Do stuff while playing the game when, where and how you want.
• Gather stuff while playing the game when, where and how you want.
• Do enough stuff to get a level while playing the game when, where and how you want.
• Spam different skills while playing the game when, where and how you want.
• Kill different stuff while playing the game when, where and how you want.
• Salvage stuff you get while playing the game when, where and how you want.

In other words, you were rewarded for simply playing the game; unless you were an achievement hunter, it felt natural and it was rather hard not to get dailies while playing PvE. (I think it would be safe to assume that most casual players do not ever step into WvW/PvP; however, the new PvP dailies will have variations of the same problematic concept, like “win a game on a class you don’t know”).

With NPE in mind, I see where there problem lay: completely new players felt clueless and didn’t know what to do! So just as with “go to this vista and press F, go to this PoI and you don’t even have to press F…” system, the new dailies are telling people what they can do. The problem is, though… there are next to no options!

BACKGROUND

These threads from the past are worth noting:

• Only 10 Daily Achivements? – an 8-page thread from 7 months ago where players are annoyed since they’re forced to do specific PvE dailies because of lack of choices. Result: increase in choices.
• Please make dailies feel more natural – a thread about making dailies feel enjoyable instead of forced.
• Daily Orrian killer – adding a daily with unnatural requirements caused a lot of distress, and it was still only a subset from a large pool.

SOLUTION

Unsurprisingly, the solution is simple: add at least 3 permanent choices for dailies which come naturally while playing. You know, something from this set:

• Daily Leveler
• Daily Kills
• Daily Events
• Daily Gatherer
• Daily Recycler
• Daily Dodger

This way, playing players will be happily getting rewards for playing, and those who need directions or extra rewards, can do the specific stuff.

WHY THIS THREAD IS IMPORTANT and SHOULD NOT BE MERGED

Because threads like this one will appear in tens, if not hundreds when the patch hits. We’ve seen it with megaservers, traits, town clothes, commander tags, gem exchange… well, with all the changes which had easily predictable outcomes which were pointed at by the community, but were implemented regardless because they were already planned to.

So maybe, this time it’s better to listen to players before making this change? It will save so much time for everyone. Thank you.

Conski Deshan.2057:

Carnival weapon set should not be gold based at all there are already dozens of gold based sets, it should have been unbound magic or some combination of a karma item and petrified logs.

^ This.

Donari.5237:

RNG is a meanie pants.

Words to live by. Should be in a sig.

I’d like a matching backpack…

Yes, they need to bring back that GW1 tradition. Besides, there’s several masks from GW1 they haven’t brought in, so they don’t even have to think of anything new for awhile.

Bat Wing Glider Skins please! I just got back to the game, and missed those, and my Necro reaaaaaaaly needs those. Do it for Halloween at least

Saw… this… the other day….

15 Characters.

+ 1000000 to the OP. I’ve made similar threads in the past.

There’s several skimpy male NPC outfits that could be opened up to PCs.
There’s the Tribal Outfit. Bring it BACK!
Reinment of the Lich would be great if you could disable the shoulders and arms.

Oh and let’s not forget what Anet already designed in GW1.

And yet, among player characters, shirtless males are prohibited and most female outfits and gear are skimpy…

I used to go to the old LA all the time… Now I park in Rata Sum. The new one is to bright, to clean, to sanitized. I liked the wooden pirate look of the old one. Sorry, I’m, just not that into EPCOT ripoffs.

aikatara.3462:

I just now realised that one of the slots is now constantly blocked by a totally useless seasonal item. What kitten is that? Why on earth should I ever be motivated to buy BL-keys (which I never was anyway), if the number of slots who have the chance to contain something remotely useful or even a skin is effectively reduced by one?

And by the way: I already buy skins in the store regularely. I feel a little bit annoyed that maybe in the future skins will be hidden behind the BL-chest. Anet, I will most definitely will not buy your BL-keys to gamble to get a skin. If you want my money sell the things in the regular store. You will not get it otherwise.

This. All of this. Up there. Yup.

Again, something from GW1 that should have been in GW2. Vendors that only show you what YOU can use.

Doggie.3184:

Guys, I really need a Face Slot for skins so I can wear my gem store Cat Ears with gem store Masks. You must find a way.

We just need a slot just for the cat ears, so we can wear them with everything.

We need more skimpy male outfits for balance. Show some chests, backs, shoulders and arms.

You know the two chest pieces that show the most male skin are HEAVY?
How weird is that?

Give us a light chest that is just a strap to hold your back weapon.
Give us a medium chest that’s just a belt or collar.

Now that would be awesome

Obligitory, semi-regular request for chest-piece toggle, like gloves and shoulders already have. Thanks.

Doam.8305:

Not the real Mesmer from Gw1 that had many darker mental shattering and nightmarish skills but the softer modern Mesmer of butterflies and flashy pink lights.

I feel you. I miss real mesmers too.

Obfuscate.6430:

• remove Tome of Knowledge from Black Lion Chest loot table
• allow Tome of Knowledge to be a currency for useful consumables or items for people who no longer need to level characters.

Ithilwen.1529:

Please add a small Scepter. The Bo staff skin would make an outstanding “magic wand.”
Only the Princess Wand skin is small enough in game that I don’t feel I’m wielding a cricket bat.

I’d pay gems for such a skin.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Privateer_Scepter

I’d love a Skritt thief

I’d like some work done on the https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gaze_of_the_Lich .
It’s open at the back, and only really looks good with the https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mantle_of_the_Lich , and I would love to be able to wear it with other gear. Actually, I’d like to wear it with just the https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Vestments_of_the_Lich , or any other less bulky shoulder piece.

It really needs to not be open at the back.

There’s a whole slew of things GW1 had that GW2 needs, and this is one of them. I miss taking down massive elementals in my Lunatic Finery!

Ellie.5913:

Necro and monk scar pattern and flowing gw1 armor (without a butt-cape)

Ah, yes, seconded for probably the 10000th time…

Vix.6730:

Halloween events in GW1 were hotly anticipated and generated hours upon hours of fun for a month. This two week deal is a sad comparison.

Guild Wars used to me my favorite Halloween game. I used to just hang out in Lion’s Arch for hours, chatting, dancing, joking around. THEN they added quests which made it even better. Seems like GW2’s version is going backwards.

I would buy an item to convert aura-trinkets…

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Poly-luminescent_Undulating_Refractor_

… and the other colors, to infusions.

The first two posts of this thread are dead correct.

The GW1 Scar and Tatoo armors. The plain ones. Never was fond of the Elite ones.
You could even make the scars / tatoos GLOW now, since we’re all about the glowey animations and such in GW2. And, of course, make them dyable.

Make them an outfit, so everyone could enjoy them.

And, yeah, there are some who don’t wanna see people in “thongs” running around (even though that was perfectly acceptable in GW1). Well, just make the outfit upper-body only, and give it some really cool looking trousers.

Rukia.9860:

Tengu would be most likely with least retcon, and most awesome obviously.

It’s ANets fault that they designed races in a way that you can’t race change and stuff, same reason they won’t add new races. Have to make a 1-80 story for it.

It is expansion material, but they’re too busy designing annoying vertical maps with unconventional traveling methods, because ‘different’.

We have TWO, TWO vertical maps. Why are people so hungover on that?

And they aren’t even complicated: Oh no, i maybe have to do more than press autorun and 1 every now and then.

Jesus Christ, i remember a time when things like a new approach to map design and traveling in a game would have been praised.
But no, it’s inconvenient to you because you have to think for a change or invest some time that you can still spend playing like usual.

It’s not just him. I have 8G RAM, quad core, and 2G VRAM, and I’ve noticed lag in crowded areas. I’ve not lowered my settings since the switch, because I shouldn’t have to. The game shouldn’t perform more poorly with the same settings, and yet it does. This is an issue for the developers to fix. Either limit the number of people per instance, or allow manual switching of instances like we had in GW1.

I’ve been posting about this all week Welcome to the club Obviously, I’m all for it, for reasons stated in these threads:

Liewec.2896:

i have a theory:

SPOILERS FROM LIVING WORLD!

we’ve heard that when dragons die their magic spread between the remaining dragons,
so currently Primordus, Jormag, Kralkatorrik and S________(sea dragon) all have a portion of Zhaitan and Mordremoth’s magic.
this isn’t just raw power this is abilities too, including the biggy from Zhaitan,
raising the dead!

i hypothesis that when we have defeated all but the last dragon it will be super powerful after absorbing the magic from all of the rest, so powerful that it will use it’s reanimation magic to reanimate the fallen carcasses of the other dragons,
and the final battle will see us fighting the one super-dragon and the other 5 dragons reanimated corpses!

Been done, sort of. In GW’s Nightfall, you battle the big baddies from the previous two games, as they have become servants of Abaddon.

Maybe it’s the Star Wars fan in me… but I love the word… Scoundrel.

:D

There’s also Rapscallion! That’s a good one…

Oh yes…. O_O
