Guild Wars 2

gou.2197:

Underwater content is a known bug. There is no underwater dragon.

Wrong you’re missing the point, the original 5 were Zaithan, Primordus, Jormag, Kralkatorrik, and that sea Dragon AKA bubbles, it is Mordremoth who became later the sixth. There was talks on Bubbles way before any mentions of Mordremoth.
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Deep_sea_dragon
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mordremoth

The solution to underwater content is this, a joint effort from scientist of all races to create a small attack sub like in the first GI-Joe movie. We could have underwater sub fights and also use them to kill the sea dragons. They would also realize that they can kill any dragon in the sea without risk because all the ley line energy is washed away.
This would also keep me here and save me money by not having to buy Aquanox Deep Descent.

Map content doesn’t last because we a re lazy, we use way-points, we glide, we run and now we’ll ride mount all in the name of finishing maps in a hurry.
We should all simply walk not run or glide or whatever. So chill walk your way there allow enemies to catch up and kill you that way maps will last longer. Instead of jumping to the plateau with the rabbit climb your way the top after Anet has brought back the idea of climbing. You know that awesome feature that Anet cancelled and would have made this MMO even greater and be the only MMO that would have had this feature. And for crying out loud stop wasting money and using way-points.

With the wabbit you’d be able to slide down the mountain.

Never gonna happen.

There’s no point in reading a book if in 2 weeks you reach the last page. No point in seeing a movie the will end only one hour forty minutes. Why play an MMO if the story ends, might as well quit right now.

I found out about this test on wiki, what I didn’t know is that it would last an entire 2 hours long. At 7 pm to my great surprise I got an error message which booted me out.
I then decided to do my daily got back out intending to go back on my desert character
only to realize the desert was gone along with my character and my 9 gold some of which was won I agree, however it was won with my money and ecto invested.

Thank you Anet for not letting us know it was ending at 4 pm PDT without prior warning. IF there is more testing before the 22nd I’ll make sure to stay out of it.

Anet’s list of forbidden topic:
Underwater combat
Skimpy Armors
Housing, did I forget anything?
All these 3 topics have been shelved and archived for the past 5 years, why do players still think things are gonna change? Anet does not get involved in theses topics, like… forever.

Yet this is what people said about mounts. Hmmmm.

Lol, you’re absolutely right about that one. I guess to every rule there is one exception.

DakotaCoty.5721:

Oh, yeah, personal housing will be great when ArenaNet can’t even balance decoration prices.

Want some tiles? 500g per 1, 20 needed to fill your house! /s

Nah you’re wrong furniture would only sell for gems. There’s no profit in selling for virtual gold. Based on Ferengi’s 39th rule of acquisition based on the Great Material Continuum.

Don’t forget this game is Anet’s Great Material Continuum.

Think of how much money they would have made creating a collectors edition in the style of GW 2’s launch with the Rytlock?

Path of fire with a 10" Kralkatorric figurine and an Elona or Crystal Desert metal case, they would have made a fortune. Your loss Anet, now that they have their player base
efforts are pointless, the only thing that matters now is easy money. One fine example of this create and outfit $10.00 us dollar, $12.50 Canadian. A glider same thing.

You wanna discuss this? Dont forget this is Anet’s Thunderdome 2 players enter Anet stay out and watch in utter silence.

Audra.8057:

Aww.

Please GW2, show us ladies and gay gentlemen a little more love.

If you mean showing more skin? You can forget it, it’s against their principles, not to mention parents complaints. Why do you think characters are covered up to their necks even in the desert.

Skimpiness a la GW 1 is a thing of the past it has now devolved and become a forbidden topic of discussion.

This is Anet’s Thunderdome where players enter for gladiatorial discussion fights
while they stay out and watch in utter silence and not getting involved. It’s like that with water content as well.

Already did my first main was elemntalist, now my second main is revenant and slowly using it more and more or perhaps my main will become a mount.

Please Don’t Forget Underwater Exploration.

Too late they already have 4 and a half years ago. How many examples do we need that this is the case? Sometimes we we see the original map before mapping it fully It had a lake for example and all of the sudden the map is done and the lake no longer appears on the final product. Other cases lake Doric, solution let’s find an excuse to empty it. HOT let’s make a lush jungle desert without water where frog mainly live in trees, result no water combat again.

Do you seriously still think we still are going to fight a water dragon? Players didn’t like underwater fights so they removed it. We’re getting tired of fighting dragons all the time, the solution they removed it we now fight gods. We’re going trough the desert we have the river Elon, in the first map we help a fisherman recover his goods from his sunken ship with no enemies attacking, result no water combat. Even if somehow someday we go back to killing the other dragons, the water dragon will come on land and we will kill him as he comes out of the water, lol. Remember Primordius a God killed him, result was? You guessed it, no need to make underground content therefore less effort.

Ever since the launch of GW 2 Anet has never faced us on this subject, they might and I say might read this thread but reply and have a conversation forget it. So as far as the words water and skimpy armors are concerned it is a dead subject and a forbidden topic. Even Shiro we killed him twice, we come back to Elona guess what Palawa Joko we get to kill him a second time, no need to come up with new scenarios, easy money.

Don’t get me wrong the oceans and water combat are still my favorite things and I still intend to finish creating my other two underwater legendary because they are cool.
We will always have water content but it will remain a diminished product as Tyria is slowly becoming a desert planet.

I have always loved water combat and always will, I simply don’t get players who don’t.
So my final analysis is this, has Anet killed water exploration and combat? No fussy and whining young players did, those who over analyze things and it’s a real shame because Anet had created the best and most beautiful water content of any game ever and we spat in their face claiming it was crap. Is it any wonder they have given up on it.
I simply wish they keep creating water content for those who do love it with or without combat. Hopefully I will enjoy the Elon river as it is on the map right now not a diluted and dried up version of it.

A gamer mouse is more than fine by me.

I saw a singer in game looking to start his career.

All my old Elementalist armor but that’s never gonna happen because Anet is still allergic to skin.

A worm that you could ride on like in the movie Dune. A six legged cat like in Avatar.
Also a 3 headed hydra, a triceratops, the griffon that was cancelled or spider.

I feel the same way for the weapon, it sincerely stinks, thank you Anet, as for the outfit as usual we can only remove the head gear, we could have gotten an armor, yes Anet still makes those at a price but they do make them. God forbid they should be part of a collectors edition. Also forget about skimpiness Anet is still allergic to that, yeah that’s right this sure ain’t GW 1 clothing, speaking of which I wish I could import those.

Are we ever going to see a collectors edition in the style of the original GW 2 game? Now that was a true collectors edition, I still enjoy the metal box and Rytlock. In these modern times it’s all about the digital stuff thrown in your face for a quick buck. Rant over, on a different note I’m still looking forward to my rides in POF.
Never played a MMO game with mounts before.

And in Canada we pay on average 1.25 so what’s your point?
Anet still has to get the same amount from you as they do the American selling for less in other country would mean a loss profit. They are not responsible for the exchange rate.

There are 4 as of now, who knows if that will change?
No the Hydra isn’t one of them.

I got 4800 and it ain’t going anywhere, I could buy keys when they are on special to get scrap tickets for weapon skin, or I could wait until the release of POF to see what’s new in the store, but I still would like to buy only on special to get my money’s worth.
The Abbadon Weapon set by the way, is way cool at 2 tickets a piece I got 4, and the darker your environment is the more they seem to glow all the red parts not simply the red ball.

The Charr could build a mechanical spider like in wild wild west.

It’s probably less work for them not to go with your suggestion.

You only need one mount a Charr Hover bike, for crossing valleys and reaching high plateau we have bouncing mushrooms and updrafts for gliding.

Why does a mount cross the road? Why does a mount jump over a valley?
Why does a mount jump very high to reach a high plateau?

a) To help the character.
b) To help us have more fun.
c) Because the obstacle is there.
d) To trigger some of us into a whining fit.
e) To hover over quick sand.
f) All of the above.

Hybarf Tics.2048:

All ideas are welcome but seriously and obviously too late, the game is already coming out September 22nd. The only option for the anti mount crowd is to take a hike, I mean walk, until you need to cross a valley or reach a high plateau, then pray for a mount to pass by and give you a lift.

I actually don’t mind walking and I would choose walking over a mount. The problem is they are forcing you to use the mount to access many areas of the mount and story. So we do not get the option to “Take a hike” other wise I would gladly walk even if it took me 30 min or so out of the way.

Are you telling me you’re whining simply because you have to mount and dismount for a few seconds on each map. You do realize that 95% of the time you can be on foot and be swallowed whole by a 3 headed Hydra.

ZeftheWicked.3076:

What worries me is that this xpac does not require HoT ergo it may not feature gliding.
I never cared much for mounts save maybe moas for asuras.

But in no way can you compare that to HoT glider awesomeness. I hope gliding is a thing in Path of Fire. And by that i mean updrafts and gliding puzzles, not just “you can use them” as in core Tyria maps.

You can glide in POF as long as you have HOT.
You can also mount in Tyria as long as you have GW 2.

My guess the third will have to do with the 6th dragon for now known only as Bubbles off the shores of Cantha.

Seera.5916:

FFXIV forces you to get off your mount and you can’t get on your mount in certain areas they know lots of people will be. I could imagine the same thing with GW2. You can’t get on your mount and you would be automatically dismounted should you enter Lion’s Arch or any racial city.

Should you be allowed to have mounts in Core Tyria or HoT maps. They haven’t said you can, which may mean they haven’t decided yet.

If you had watched the following show with Wooden Potato, you wouldn’t have made that misinformed reply, here’s the bottom line, mounts can go all over Tyria, just as gliding is, speaking of gliding it can also be used in the desert. Mounts have only one spell once used it dismount you so you can fight or rez then you are free to get back on
or proceed on foot.

xikira.3264:

Yall are excited for the mounts I get it but keep in mind there are a lot of people that dont like mounts why punish them by forcing mounts on them? What is so wrong about having the option to make our game mount free so we can still enjoy it and yall can still have yalls mounts and enjoy it? The game shouldn’t be stuck behind a mechanism like this.

You found the perfect balance yourself and yet you still complain. The solution is simple, if you have to use it to cross a valley do so and then dismount and proceed on foot. No one will force you to be on it 100% of the time. If you took the time to watch the video you would know by now that mounts have only one spell, the second you use it you are dismounted by default. The maps are 2 to 2.5 times the size or regular Tyrian maps, if you don’t use them, enjoy the walk it’s a long way to Elona.

You do realize we are going trough the desert to get to Elona right?
There are 5 huge maps, 4 are in the desert, how many does that leave for Elona?
Short answer is one, so a) Vabbi.

In one of Wooden Potatoe’s video we saw a mount that looked like some kind of griffon.
Does anyone know what happened to it?

Also without HOT = No gliding, no guild halls, and no HOT mastery while playing POF.
You get only the mount mastery.
However there is one guild hall in POF I’m not sure sure you even get that one without HOT.

We used to need an E-Mail to log in the forum and in game, what happened to them.
Now it feels less safe and I have to go back and do everything manually again.

LaCoria.8549:

Actually the design of the boat is very common to what you saw in the Bazaar of the Four Winds. Taking in mind that we’re going to be going to the Crystal Desert after LS3Ch6, it’s not unreasonable to think that we’ll see some of the Zephyrites, who’ve traversed the Crystal Desert to retrieve Aurene’s egg. It will probably be them that show us how to get into the desert and so on.

They don’t need to show us the way. As a matter of fact you don’t even need a boat to get there, all we need is for the queen to tell the guard in Ebonhawke to open the gate to the desert, and go trough on foot.

zealex.9410:

The leaks clearly show elona to be the next major step in the gw2 universe. Meanwhile the ep6 art has some very noticable hints ( the freaking boat in the middle of it) that suggest that cantha is on the horizon.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/lwd

I think you’re a bit confused, first you say the pic is from Elona, then you say Cantha is on the way.

Personally I feel the pic has an Elona feel to it. Cantha would be out of the question because the expansion is about the desert for 4 huge maps with very few waypoints 3 on average and in the north of all 4 desert maps forcing us to use one of the 5 mounts in the expansion, the 5th map is a map from Vabbi region of Elona.

First, what I don’t get is Elona and the desert are only coming in the expansion or so the would have us believe.
Second the episodes are also about dragons, Elona is not unless Kralkatorrik is no longer in the desert and has moved to Elona.
If this pic is not Cantha and we can bet it ain’t, Then at the very least it’s a very tropical look.

Just when you thought we were going after another dragon, Anet has given us another
brainstorm of a mystery.

Yeah well try it with only 2 or 3 players even with forming a party. Only people interested in the legendary are interested and they are few in between. Been there done that.

Ok the problem with this is killing Vinetooth Prime in a cave, and he appears only when all 3 east pylons are active.
The problem is with east side no one is interested in doing east pylons because they say it isn’t part of the meta.
So I ask you Anet what is the point of locking album collection 4 of the legendary Hope behind a pylon no one cares for.
Some other players have similar problem with their legendary as well.
Anet could you please stop wasting our time and change the creature’s spawn conditions or make the East Pylon part of the meta as well.
Thank You for your understanding.

Light: Can I import from GW 1?
Medium: Can we start a protest by burning our armors in public?
Heavy: Now my armor can kill without the need of a weapon, how cool is that?

DiogoSilva.7089:

Instead, we’re getting trenchcoat nº233 and “Let’s add skulls and spikes everywhere” nº177. (Except they’re shiny now…)

Did you say shiny? Did the the Skitts have anything to do with these armors?
Sounds like a conspiracy to me.

Well think about this for raids it could be a good choice, simply ram the enemy with your brand spanking new spike armor, and voila instant kill, you could also call this the ram kill maneuver.

It doesn’t matter one bit that Legendary armors are not out yet. If only one pic shows a trench coat then it also makes the statement that Anet has shown no flexibility in styles ever since 2012. They also have been dead silent on the subject ever since, show me one thread on the subject with an Anet reply worth reading, I dare you. You can be a total and faithful fan if you like it’s your right but doing so doesn’t help.

Nothing will change the fact that generally speaking light armor = skirt pants combo
and medium armor = trench coats it’s been this way for close to 5 years and showing no signs of change.

If I were allowed to ask Anet 1 question without fans getting in the way, it would be this. Why was skimpy armor doable and ethically moral for GW 1 and suddenly not doable and unethical in GW 2?

I would be astonished if Anet replied to this question.

O.k maybe a second question, Anet can I get a skimpy light armor with spike to go?
To finish my post with sarcasm here goes, at least it’s a new fashion skirt pants and trench coats are still here but now they have a twist, I mean spikes. Now you can look like a porcupine and kill your enemies and friends in battle by accident and without the use of a weapon. Aim your armor at your enemy and charge it’s that simple, why use magic?

It cant be

kk, but where’s a hiccup?!? I am really disappointed

No more Kasmeer’s hiccuping? Pls it cant be true..

Why do you think she acted so horrified?
It’s because he said “No, I… am your father.”

He has the powers of the Mursatt, if not Lazarus then he is another Mursatt.

You’re missing the point entirely most of us me included have seen and played the 2 first world 3 and 4 are yet to come, and because of empty promises we get 1 and 2 over and over and over again and every year it comes out on April fools day and the joke is on you the player who takes the bait!!!

Have fun out there and don’t forget your fishing rod.

I’m not gonna say my experience because I didn’t even get in. As far as I’m concerned Anet can trash the whole SAB especially if they don’t intend to ever finish it.
I will not waste my time not even 3 weeks a year on a mini game that is 50% complete.
I would not even be surprised if it end on the 20th to keep us all busy because episode 5 is 2 weeks late…
