Guild Wars 2

man do i appreciate this game

it’s funny how i took it for granted while i was into it hardcore but after a 10 month break and re-subbing to an old addiction (i’m a warlord now) you really appreciate how much this game has changed, added, and overall just looks so kitten good.

plus WvW is a breath of fresh air after others have tried their version but failed…

if the expansion brings instanced organized big boss fights (similar to raids) along with new world encounters i’ll be ecstatic

Plus the PVP…man i complained about the stupidest things in this game but now they just seem so clean again

either way sorry for the rambling…see you all in tyria!!

bumping up once

and build suggestion if you have time.

main reason is because i had the ascended box drop for one and i don’t want to waste it. I’d like it to go to a character that would best be able to use it (if you have an idea for wep too please let me know)

I’m mainly in WvW if that matters as well.

thanks

Hoping to see something dealing with either of these 2 areas next year in some sort of meaningful way.

With scarlet being put to rest in the next couple months here hoping the next LS will lead into new things with them

Honestly i’d be happy if all the skins i’ve earned (especially from achievements) would go into my achievements tab (similar to the zenith stuff)…

i currently have all my bank slots full because i’m too afraid to use the skin on only one of my 8 characters…it seems a bit cruel to have a cool back slot item but only for one character. Not very alt friendly

You have to think of Living Story as an expansion with a “big bag” as the centerpiece.

basically it started with:
- the story of zhaitan
- the living story of scarlet
- after the 21st will be “the next big bad”

and so on

so i’m rebuilding my thief and need help on understanding some of the math behind what i’m thinking about doing

i’d like to eventually move to Rune of Divinity (+10stats & 2% crit x 6 pieces) but it’s a bit pricey for me right now at 10g per

so i was thinking about buying the major version (+5 stats & 2% crit) in the meantime and replace my superior runes of the pirate

i just want to make sure that the amount of power i drop from the superior pirate runes would mathematically be worth it for my thief in WvW

sorry im just terrible with calculations….

Thanks if you help

i know we have it here in our forums but im looking to read some guides on builds varying from PVP/WvW/ and PVE

i googled a bunch but most turned out to be empty or not updated since last year…

first off i like clockwork chaos
it’s fun

but most of the community found out that by staying in the aether phase that it ultimately yields a better overall reward

either future rewards for “failure” need to be changed or the rewards for completion need to be buffed with something very rare

only reason is because if this is something that happens down the line it will ultimately take away from the experience of the event itself

all in all good step forward just needs some fine tuning

looking to wrap up a couple achievements
Fort Aspenwood doesn’t really run it anymore so just curious if any servers do it at all

thanks

i don’t have an exact answer (mainly because im in the fiddling with it) but i suggest you go to the mists and try out a whole bunch of builds on the dummies to see what works best for you.

i did the zerker build and personally i hated it (plus i was squishy as hell)
that being said im enjoying creating a personal build now which is why im giving the suggestions for the mists (its all free so grab tons of gear and runes)

or they more of a “mercenary” type group who sell out to the highest bidder

just trying to figure out who actually controls them

i know this is one heck of a long shot but can we have it so that i can have a different trait saved for WvW from what i use in the PVE world

they don’t have to be linked (like having dual builds available) but just a separate option when i zone into WvW vs PVE

i know we have that option in the mists and im not even asking for free re-traits like it offers….just a way to have my toon specced for pvp and for pve…so i can play the game how i want to play (hint hint)
;)

have a filter option for meta events or “chest events” since that is what the majority will scroll through for in all zones

what are the small things that if added to the game would make a huge impact.
Areas to not bring up in the topic would be raids/dungeons/story content
instead lets think about “functionality”

for me it would be:
- calendar system + alerts for guilds
- AFK boot feature for spvp (very much needed as we see in dragonball…)
- remove soulbinding and keep it to account bound
- revamp the LFG system, maybe even have boards put up in LA/major cities that people could “sign up” for specific groups (dungeons/wvw/events/etc)
- build saves (traits/gear sets).
- revamp town clothes…pretty safe to say it was a flop and the only reason people use it is for an easy daily achieve when its up otherwise….useless…maybe go back to the old system of costumes overlapping gear (doubtful i know but it needs a change)
- mini pet tab or way to pull them out. Currently they auto deposit unless you have an invis bag but its kind of a waste of space to keep tons in your “on demand” inventory. Would probably see more kicking around if we had a separate option
- account bound karma. All other currency is….so not sure why this one isn’t

again all small things but would ultimately make some areas more functional

feel free to add (or rip apart) suggestions :p

Soooo people are upset with monthly content updates (whether big or small)
that you didn’t really know about last year when you purchased the game
that hasen’t cost you a cent

hmmm i guess the entitlement of $60 goes a long way nowadays

Anet should probably just pay their entire player base a monthly fee when they release an update with the backwards logic people have

just noticed it’s about 4.5silver now…used to be dirt cheap
and irridescent dust..

any real reason why? something new added?

in case some people don’t know where to find it

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/april-2013/

well it’s here for a month guys

besides it will be something to look forward to every april kinda like halloween and the wintersday events

i can sort of understand why things like pistols and daggers are missing
often times its hard to even notice the effects on them (which is a shame for my DD Thief)

the rifle missing on the other hand is odd….

if you haven’t watched it then you are missing out

for any of us who grew up in the early NES age and remember the commercials you’re bound to smile

great April Fools material ANET
:)

tip:

watch what his eyes do very closely
youll learn the pattern then

hey all,

just wondering what the recipe is to make this (draconic)

i know it involves the mystic toilet but everything i seem to read online doesn’t trigger it…i’m just wasting gold left and right trying to figure this out.

Can anyone who has made it let me know how. Thanks

i like that the bosses have certain “tells” when they are about to make a big move but sometimes they get washed away with the rest of the group either:

a) crowding them
b) spells going off the chart
c) environment in the way

I’m just suggesting you make their sizes bigger to help alleviate this OR make a flashier notification that something is coming (Example Kohler holding his sword up while glowing lets you know he’s about to pull you in)

i don’t think it would make the game easier in a nerf sense but in a functional way it sure would

it would also allow you to put in more difficult encounters that won’t rely on massive HP pools and mainly have moves that we need to coordinate and react to better.

Thanks

do you thank Kelloggs for your Frosted Flakes too?

If Tony the Tiger delivered me a free box every month than ya probably

There is no pleasing this new age type of gamer
the amount of entitlement and crying ultimately leaves devs with no real way out.

all in all for the few of us who do appreciate consistent effort and work, Thanks Anet. You don’t get to hear that as often as you probably should unfortunately.

ya they should just give everyone laurels for logging in

so if a runes bonus is:
- 1 piece +10 power
- 2 pieces +5% MF
- 3 pieces + 15 power
- 4 pieces + 10% MF

if i had all 4 pieces i should have
+25 power and 15% MF correct?

just wasn’t sure if it was incremental or puts it at the level it states.

thanks

the next patch should solve the 1-10 Fractals problem

people who enjoy the game are playing it so that’s why the majority of posts seem negative

There are games that exist already that do a great job with raids. If that is your pull factor then you should be enjoying that game.

We should let the devs create the game they want to create and players should look into a game first and see if it has the areas they are interested in.

the whole notion of the game conforming to the player base all the time can get a little silly. Some changes are fine but you can only go so far away from the vision.

the chances of them doing something similar to good raiding (and just as well as other games that have been fine tuning it for years) is pretty slim…

not saying the current official ones aren’t good i just prefer the in game look.

anyone have one of the intro to the JP or something like that?

the holiday did kind of revolve around them originally.

hoping there is some sort of surprise involving them

in all honesty the wintersday one is a million times easier than clock tower.

there needs to be some pressure element and the timing on this one is fairly light. I think you just need to trust yourself. Thinking on these timed JPs usually kills ya :p

mmm kind of like modern warfare, i was thinking even simpler (so not a full background just borders)

its just so awesome to see the little details that are throughout this game. like being able to see the outside LA structures while inside the snowglobe, and gradually rebuilding the lion statue instead of POOF its back.

This is so awesome.
The details, the art, the music are just so top notch and i have faith that the bugs will be cleared out eventually.

either way thanks Anet. Thank you for getting me to log on not because i have to, but because i want to!

my guildies and i often resort to using an outside website or forum to organize events. Which then actually disconnects us from the GW2 immersion.

is there a possibility for a calendar feature in the future showing not only GW2 official events but ones our guild would put up as well?

i like titles and the idea of them. I was thinking maybe there was a way to spruce them up a bit since in general you don’t actually notice them..

i thought maybe the title could be tied in with a cosmetic display around it.

So lets say “emissary of the mad king”
there would be different font and maybe a couple pumpkins around it like a border.

just a thought anyways

i don’t think it will be a chance at the precursor weps but most likely the exotic accessory and 20 slot bag

Sorry for the title, had to make it fit the 45character limit.

just curious since i haven’t seen any mention of it other then the one announcement last Sunday.

Just curious if they plan on helping out the people who got DC’d at the last stretch of the event

Booted twice

once from the original overflow i was in

then once again 5 hours later in a different overflow

total time wasted with no reward was 6 hours …
:(

I plan on running all the old dungeons to get all the sets on my Thief main

been using AC and CM to lvl my warrior too

There will always be players who are unhappy
and they are always the loudest regardless if they are the majority or not

so let’s say a poll was released (hypothetically)
and a majority voted in favor of the new gear

these forums would still be flooded with angry topics

toss a few trolls in the mix and you got one hell of a party

Wouldn’t mind fishing up old artifacts with story elements too (since a lot of areas seem to show battles or even LA how it sunk)

just curious how the mechanics would be. WoWs way seems to be pretty standard. Torchlight had a pretty simple way also with the Circle that eventually matched up.

they could also just have a bunch of random spots that were auto-fish (like the other professions)

most people who are saying they will quit, won’t
hopefully you do though

the entitlement to getting more content through a system that doesn’t have a fee is ridiculous.

then bashing on the optional component of Trading Post is just silly.

what most of you are saying without realizing is:
“I want gear that doesn’t make me change my stats but then i also want new skins without having to go and get transmute stones because then i would need to pay money”

“I also want new interesting areas and content but don’t you dare make me buy into an optional gamble in chests to fund future production”

Complaining about changes that no one has even tried yet just makes you seem immature and prone to complaining.

When it launches and you try it out (with an open mind) and notice a problem post it with a possible suggestion. Anyone can complain just for the sake of complaining. The smart ones actually know how to contribute the fix though.

spoiled player-base is spoiled
could care less about the flaming I’ll get since I’ll go back to playing this game since I actually enjoy it.

i never met someone from the future before o_O

people dont read lol, the gear will only be needed “in the new dungeon”

And it affects the rest of the game. Thus it becomes needed in all aspects of the game.

Other dungeons don’t use the new agony mechanic
which is what ascended gear mitigates

so no. its not needed for all aspects of the game

lower levels of the new dungeon to be exact
