Guild Wars 2

I’d really like it. I loved the old LA, such a beautiful city, hub of trading that actually felt like an old trading city. The new LA doesn’t give me that feeling anymore. It’s too clean cut, to flashy and too bright.
The old LA encapsulated the “pirate stronghold” theme quite perfectly, and fit the entire theme of Kryta where it was situated.

At last resort, I really hope Anet creates a fractal based in LA, not just a section of it, all of it. There’s a great story to be told there anyway.

Gaile Gray.6029:

We do not take character or display or guild names away from valid accounts. Someone may step away and return to the game later, so the names must stay in place.

+1 need less butt capes.
It took me ages to mix a set without butt-capes, hip flaps or a trench coat for my Male Charr Engineer.

The Cattlepult, which has been killing cows since the game released, has not seen any attention, nor has the kicking of chickens in Bitterfrost Frontier for feathers and a title, but a magical fish is too far?

This whole thread is full of hypocrisy, and precisely why the fish shouldn’t be changed. You slaughter creatures ingame for you own gain.

Better solution. Get more creative with your names. They should be unique. I’ve made 20 or so key farm characters in the last week, using different names for all of them, only once did I get the pop up that the name was taken.

So, instead of semi(blocking access for a few days) or permabanning(complete deletion) an account, you want to torment them too? Those deserving of a semi-ban wont be able to log in at all and that is fitting punishment for being a kittenhead. (Yes, I typed kitten)

It’s far more punishing for peoples accounts to be deleted than to be exiled. Why? If they were genuine players that were just being kittens, they would lose their character names forever, that’s a big deal to some people. They have to rebuy the game, which at the moment is the expansion price, again why? Because they have to part with something IRL to play again. Something something psychology, which would benefit Anet with another account purchase.

Don’t fix what isn’t broke.

That this thread will be merged soon.

On another note, my small guild consisting of 5-7 active people donating is now Level 31. The cost of it is fine imo.

I didn’t realise a characters gender was a big thing to be honest. Does it really matter?

Clone death traits were the worst Ithilwen. Everyone complains about passives yet you want to bring back the number one culprit? No. Thank. You.

To the OP, I like this suggestion. Years ago my go to was power shatter and I really miss it. Mesmers should be more than just portals and moas.

Don’t buy it?

I don’t see anything wrong with it. It’s definitely very Asuran in name and appearance.

We’ve lots of ‘advanced’ science themed skins for armor, weapons and gathering tools.

As many tomes as I have, I don’t mind them in the daily chest.
My biggest gripe is the Essence of luck. This stuff is salvaged from everything, it does not need to be in the daily log in chest. I’d much rather have a selectable bag of crafting materials (t1-6) or mystic coins in their place.

I like the idea of adding unique or as you say “Legendary” pets. But only as an aesthetic, since pets are only used on rangers, their combat stats are balanced with the damage the ranger itself does. So adding higher stat pets will throw things out of whack.
I’m now thinking of all the unique/rarespawn pet skins in World of Warcraft I got before I quit. The spirit animals were amazing.

100% behind this.

Raids get discounted ascended armor.
Fractals get the vendor, which is more convenience as it’s more expensive than crafting (which should be altered to be more inline with the Raid discount imho).

There are a few collection achievements that award Ascended boxes of Armor and Weapons. (Bioluminescent, Leystone, Ambrite weapon collections to name a few). Check your achievement panel and look around at what is rewarded for tasks.

Elite Specialisation collections also give a related weapon to the profession you complete it for (eg shield for Chronomancer.)

Boxes can drop ingame, high tier fractals, PvP, raids and WvW.

Rings you can buy from fractals, they’re easy to earn aslong as you do the dailies.

Doing guild missions will give enough commendations to buy one accessory a week.

Laurels can be used for rings and accessories too.

The new LS3 maps offer ascended trinkets for Unbound magic and specific map currencies.

The most reliable way to make sets of armor and weapons is to craft them. Visit gw2crafts.net for complete guides which are refreshed when opened, to give the most efficient way to level each craft.

You don’t own any part of the game. You will not stop passing players joining in an event because you want to do something solo. The whole basis of the game is teamwork, regardless whether you like that or not.

There’s no reason for this behaviour at all when you can test on the raid golem which is semi-customizable for different situations, or you can go into your own instance for say Arah, and test a build solo there.

If you’re thinking it will go to consoles, don’t hold your breath, last I knew that idea was scrapped.
And multiplatform experience against platform APIs doesn’t neccessarily mean gw2 is going to console, or any other platform for that matter, since you need that programming for online gaming anyway.
I do hope they work on the Mac/Linux clients though, I have a PC but not everyone does.

jihm.2315:

we should be able to have same names as others dont see the problem

I 100% disagree. Names should be unique. I wouldn’t want to see anyone copycatting my names I may have spent hours putting together just so someone else can use it.

Your main one is to learn tells of damaging attacks and to dodge them.

Thieves Condi removal is either Withdraw or Hide in Shadows heal skill, Signet of Agility, Roll For Initiative, Shadow Step-Return, or trained to sync with other utilities (Shadows Embrace, Trickster, Guarded Initiation, Escapists Absolution, Unhidered Combatant)

So it’s not like Thieves have no Condi removal, just sometimes it’s situational or has to be timed right.

I’d rather they work on the PvP system already in game.
It’s not fun with all the damage/high sustain/spam stuff we’ve got. Conquest gets boring after a while. WvW is, well, he who transfers wins, or outnumbered on all maps, sort of enjoy it, but there’s too much Ktraining going on. Anet can expand and improve PvP in this game.

The most I’d be willing to agree to is something like an extra 10% Magic find and experience gain in your characters home region.

Anything that would give extra damage or healing etc, or make you choose one race over another because it has a better bonus, not because you want to play that particular race, will never get my vote.

There shouldn’t be a reason why a certain profession is better as a certain race.

If you want to fight this injustice, why not do something on your own life, join your local pride marches and events, or if you’re local in Orlando go and give blood.

Anet making and selling whatever’s doesn’t actually fight anything. Lets leave real life problems outside of fantasy games. I play to escape.

Ben Phongluangtham.1065:

After an internal review, we’ve decided that awarding points for achievements that are this exclusive goes against the intent and spirit of our achievement system. We’ll be removing the points on these in a future release.

I am incredibly disappointed with that. You’ve basically told players that getting into the top 250 is not an achievement worthy of any points. I’m saddened it seems you wont be removing the points from previous Legendary titles to align with this new decision.

The Achievement system should be to display what people achieve in game, I’d say top 250 is a great one.

Harper.4173:

Haleydawn.3764:

It’s not about “catching up” at all. It’s about putting a cap on what are the easiest points to obtain in the game. You can’t daily your way to account bound rewards/bonuses, you should have to play the game, actually invest your time in it, to be rewarded. Of course it’s going to have a cap, and I think it should remain as it is.

Except the rewards are there and there aren’t really enough APs to get them.

And you blame the Daily AP cap instead of the imbalance of achievement points of what is currently obtainable, in comparison to what we used to earn for similar meta achievements?

Brienson.7319:

honestly as a returning wvw player

Or as a returning WvW player, you could play WvW and trade in 10 Proofs of Heroic to unlock a HoT Hero Point…

This has been discussed to death.
Your race/profession is so entwined into the personal story it would be almost impossible to implement this without breaking something bigger in the process. Imagine if this was offered and you ‘lost’ progress on the character? Progress meaning anything from personal story to gear/AP. Too risky.

Delete and re-roll with tomes or buy a new character slot. Much easier and is already in game.

“Toss spectral scythes at foes in front of you, applying chill to them and pulling them to you. " Yep, definitely a projectile.

One of the perks of paying for the expansion is to gain access to the elite specialisation. So, maybe you should buy it like everyone else using them.

Free to play players have far more account restrictions than non HoT account holders.

So while doing “Infiltrate and disrupt Seanan’s Bandits” Located in North West Brisbane Wildlands, when you interact with either Ruppel or Ivy to get your bandit disguise, you are shown to be ported in to the bandit camp, only to then see a loading screen,and find yourself in the water under the map somewhere in Venlin Vale, the other side of the map.

I have 0% on this heart and this is probs my 8th world complete.

If anything this could really be flipped to say all existing Longbows are realistically too short. Since a longbow is roughly designed to be as tall as the person using it.

But who cares about realism in a fantasy game.

Chuka is fine as it is. Since we don’t have sliders to adjust weapon size.

I earned these, but they aren’t unlocked in my wardrobe for reasons unknown, I was pretty sure I unlocked them in the PvP locker instead of PvE. What about us, because I’m assuming I’m not the only one who earned them and doesn’t have this priviledge of using the item whenever. Prestige is an imagined thing, AP is enough to be able to see how long some has been playing.
I have a few items that aren’t obtainable anymore that I still use (Bunny Ears, full Stalwart but mainly the shoulders I use), but I’ll welcome when they bring them back because telling people they can’t obtain them all the time is annoying. Stop thinking because you have some form of pixel that other people shouldn’t be able to have them either.

The condition application and change to PU boons were a while ago, and were in the patch notes.
PU is good still just not great for conquest. (It never was)
New changes to the traits are looking very promising for build variation for mesmer, including condition.

This is unethical.

Dailies aren’t actually neccessary to do unless you want 10ap, because the old dailies are now what we know as the log in rewards.
I really like the new dailies and they don’t take as long as you all make out they do. Yesterday I did my whole daily in PvE (shocker, I know), Fields of Ruins events, and I waypointed once because running to find events was far easier then waiting for people to ping nearly completed events.

Also needs to have projectile effects now Revenant and Scrappers (Grenade Barrage) are on the scene.

He’s mine! He’s called Fluffy!

Got a few of these screenies myself :P

Mesmer- Greatsword / Sword + Shield (Sub for focus)
Guardian- Sceptre + Torch / Longbow (Sub for Greatsword)
Warrior- Axe + Mace / Rifle
Engineer- Hammer (sub for Pistol – X)
Thief- Dagger + Pistol / Shortbow
Necro- Axe + Focus / Staff

I think they cover all terrestrial weapons…
I’d recommend getting HoT if you want to have a character for each weapon as it makes it easier, giving you an extra weapon choice.

Bring back 8v8 servers with a x% reduced stat “debuff”.
I miss them :< and RotC

No. You’ll have to complete it like everyone else.

“Thank you for taking part in testing Scavenger Hunting, watch this space for more info on what we will add in game for you to be able to hunt down the rarest of artifacts.”

One can dream, right?

Spot on Kapy.

I think this recipe should be purchasable, it originally dropped from gemstore chests during Dragon Bash (awesome 2 week event) that took place in June 2013. So, why not ask for the Bash to return as a yearly event, The Gods know we need more of them.

Pay more attention. This is purely a user error problem.

There’s only the one colour (pink) items that are vendorable for dead on 1g. They are obviously ascended.

Anyone remember when people asked for a second confirmation box for salvaging exotic + stuff? Question is, where do you end the this ‘Are you sure?’.

I have to agree for a token system for Teq and Wurm skins. No one is saying they have to be cheap, could be 1 token per Exotic Dragon Chest/Golden Wurm Chest, then maybe 15 tokens for offhands, 25 for mainhand, 35 for Two hands and armor pieces, along with 1 new crafted token currently used to buy ascended armor/weapons in PvP and fractals.

For example, the same reason there is the Magnetite Shard Vendor in raids was so you can eventually get the skins you want while participating regularly on the not so rare chance the items you want do not drop.

Unless you get in touch with your guild leader and he promotes someone else, you will not get it back. As you just said, you gave the guild to him. Why you and your friends gave the guild you built to someone else, was your decisions. If it was your guild, how can you not know why you promoted someone to leader?

Anet doesn’t get into Guild drama. End of story.

PvP was ignored for nearly 3yrs xD

In those 3 yrs before HoT, we saw 2-3 new maps, 2 of which have been removed from un/ranked, 1 removed altogether. And no new game mode until HoT arrived, and I dare say Stronghold isn’t as popular as hoped.

So, you can’t wait to finish another legendary in PvE. I get that. But PvE was and is far from ignored. It’s time the devs actually showed it’s PvP player base some love. I wish they could listen to the WvW players as much as the PvE players.

I sympathise with you OP. I have a Charr Engineer, I hate trench coats and skirts + tail clipping with nearly all of them.
I use the Order of Whispers chest, but recently bought the Exemplar outfit, which he now uses because it has no skirt/trench/very little tail clip.

I wish we had more seasonal content, the Queens Guantlet and Dragon Bashh definitely need to come back.
Meatoberfest could also be a thing, mid-September to mid-October. These would definitely fluff the calendar out.
There should also be a 7 day event, every 2 months, to earn tokens for items which could be built upon a lot with old (currently unobtainable) items aswell as new ones, that varies each time the event is up.

Haha. I was a bit, what the kitten, when I got to that room. :P

It should have always remained as something you could only get in WvW.
Before we got Badges of Honor in achievement chests, the only way to get the GoB was by actively playing WvW, since you could only get Badges from playing WvW. Anet just took it back to its root by putting it in a reward track.

We were warned that as soon as the tracks came out of Beta, that Gift of Battle would only be obtainable in the reward track. They did not need to give us a date. They warned us all, and the tracks came out of Beta 3 months after that warning.

To quote the User Agreement you all agreed to when you created your account;
2a … ~ “ArenaNet may modify, remove, or add Content in its reasonable discretion.”

I’ve seen a few of these threads before and everybody who wants the Daily AP cap lifted, blames the cap for their current lack of interest ingame, rather than the inbalance of point distribution on achievements themselves. That and the fact that new content which is awarding the AP is coming in slowly and staggered.

My personal suggestion is to not remove the cap but to add more repeatable achievements ingame that award 5/10 AP per repeat.

For example, the Dungeon Hobby Explorer, capped at 200 points should be increased to 500 points.

The new Dungeon Frequenter (that awards 5g) should award either 5g or 10AP.

A repeatable Fractal Frequenter which awards 10AP.

A repeatable WvW event achievement. (Not unlike the PvE’s versions “Local Hero” and “Emergency Response Hero”)

A repeatable PvP match frequenter. A repeatable select map frequenter. Individual map achievements for each map that aren’t time sensitive.

I could go on…

Theres a bunny ears thread a page or two back.

SAB is broke and needs serious work to fix properly, again in another extensive thread elsewhere.
