Guild Wars 2

I agree the Home instance is very underwhelming at the moment. I thought all the choices I made would have a larger impact on it. All the things I did through out the story didn’t effect the home instance in any significant way other then adding a few npc’s which some I wondered why were they there.

There needs to be actual changes to the home instance that mean something to the personal storyline. Would be nice to see some sort of monument like the one at the pact and I would very much want a Holo Tybalt! have the npc’s talk about your adventures or other things happening in the world. Have vendors in the home instance. Display those “items” from the personal story in a meaningful way. Possibly adding an actual home to the home instances would be nice, ones we can decorate and make our own put trophy’s in it from achievements.

The Elite Summon Druid Spirit, or “Oakheart Spirt” is nice it heals and can draw conditions from allies. When it roots it dose a AOE that dose a good bit of damage to enemy’s. Drawback is its kinda squishy and can go down fairly fast.

I like that the Take Root or Seed turret gives you 3 seconds of invulnerability however the turrets that spawn will attack anything within their range, white mobs included. Its at best situational and might be good in pvp when a group of people near you but can sometimes get you into trouble in pve.

The Summon Fern Mastiff I think is a bit lackluster however, when summoned it lasts for one minute adds poison and bleeding conditions to enemy’s. You can summon it right before you go into water and it will stay up for the full summon time. It is also fairly easy to kill however It is cool to see a Sylvari Ranger with a Juvenile Fern Hound and a summoned Fern Mastiff.

with all the skills you can not summon them underwater which is unfortunate.

Edit: Forgot to mention the Take Root summons 5 turrets in a circle around you. unlike the utility skill which only summons one.

I like the idea of Anet adding roaming horse’s to the grassland area’s have them non tamable and possibly non kill-able, I have seen packs of other animals and flocks*? of Moa running around like this.

I am having the same issue, I completed Halloween Hunting after act 4 as well as the Halloween events one. Have everything complete now but the pumpkin carving and the Clock tower, because i fail at jumping lol.

Sorry but that is not a Merlion but a lion statue that existed in the original Lions Arch before Orr rose up and flooded it and then they built the new lions arch on the ruins of the old using ships and basically anything they could salvage. I do see influences from other cultures in the artwork and game though.

If you are one who has played the original Guild Wars it would be most familiar to you as the main city of the Kingdom of Kryta before guild wars 2 which it is now a pirate run haven for all races not just humans.

I had my Shader option turned to low for some reason and it was preventing me from seeing the glow, after correcting this I was able to see the glow on the tier 1 helm where the vanes come from neck and the chest peace where the forearms and on the gourds are on the belt. >_<

The Sylvari use a lot of different kinds of plant systems to make them a living entity, All plants breath most take in carbon-dioxide and exhale oxygen and many plants do eat animals like the Venus flytrap and pitcher plant. The Venus fly trap also moves to hold prey within its “mouth” along with using photosynthesis to generate its energy. I would also like to see the inner workings of the Sylvari, but keep the Asura away! :O

Geogaddie’s armor looks to be part nightmare court and the Flame legion armor for gloves and shoulders. Not sure what the helm is from.

I love p/p its on of my fave combos. This is my current build trait wise was curious should I go with rage runes and such? and what do you guys think about the skill set up.

I was disappointed when I bought Teir 1 medium armor yesterday to find out it didn’t glow at all. Was under the impression that all the Sylvari cultural armor had bioluminescence on them; although it dose look pretty awesome. I think they need to add a channel for Sylvari cultural armor for the glow color specifically or have it match what your characters glow is regardless of the color choices you pic for the armor sense its suppose to be grown from your body after all. Our leafy armor needs some love.

Skathe.2395:

Im not too big on the lore but I do believe you run into the mursaat as early… as...level 15 in the Brisbain wildlands. During a dynamic event, an unseen hunter appears. He has the ability to blink, wears a ventilator, has wings, and can hover.

That is my belief anyways. They obviously look nothing like the gold armor wearing mursaat in the first game.

That is not a mursaat but a Largos.

I agree with Verteiron, also along with the climate change you have the Charr coming into the area, its not to far fetched to say they had a hand in shaping the area with the natural elements. They do have large siege vehicles and tanks that could easily be used for terraforming.

I have never seen anywhere that say the magical seeds that the Pale Tree came from appear before the awakening of the Elder dragons. It is one theory said by one person that’s just became the popular theory. The Pale Tree being a dragon champion/Lieutenant seems absurd to me as well as for reasons stated below.

Here Is what we know about the Sylvari:
(all of this can be found on the official wiki)

Now my theory about the Pale tree and Elder Dragons.

The Dream of Dreams seems to be connected to the planet of Tyria itself not to a dragon the Pale Tree states that it feels the pain of the planet a few times in the personal storyline. If she were in anyway connected to a Elder Dragon why would she feel the pain of the planet?

There is more then one pale tree, this is found out through a branch of one of the Sylvari personal story lines. the Sylvari you meet is not unlike those from the Pale Tree although they feel an eerie silence from him, however the Soundless Sylvari give off the same feeling when they cut themselves from the Empathetic bond with the dream.

Who ever hid the seeds had a plan. They were well hidden from everything Ronan happened to accidentally find the cave he was not looking for it. from what we have seen the Sylvari race as a whole are not evil or act in anyway like creations from a dragon. perhaps it were the Dwarves who crated the seeds or possibly the Sidhe which were the race planed for Utopia expansion for guild wars 1 and what the Sylvari are biased from. In factions there are druids that are connected with the forest and could possibly be something like that who created the seeds for the planet to defend itself from the dragons.

In the personal story the other tree’s Sylvari dose not have the calling to fight the dragon and not much is known about this other pale tree other then it exists. It could be possible that some of the other Sylvari there do have the calling.

The Inquest base, I do not dispute that the six areas one we defiantly know is connected to Zhaitan and the other areas show similarity’s between the known dragons. I will not dispute there could be a Dragon that corrupts nature and uses plants as its minions however I do not believe it has any connection whatsoever to the pale tree or the Sylvari.

I thought it was due to magnetic influences too, but I can see magic working. and i really want to visit the Wizards Castle!

I do not think the Pale Tree or the other Tree(s) are connected to any dragons. The seeds were found before the dragons rose and I think people would notice dragon minions or Champions marching around and placing seeds, from what we have seen most of the dragons minions are mindless killing machines and only really champions can think for themselves. I do think that they were enhanced or created by someone or thing else. Possibly Melandru but that’s doubtful due to her being a human god.

The Dream i think is basically like a huge repository of information like a database, and that the seeds Ronan found all have a connection to this and through the Pale Tree the Sylvari gain basic information and can see some specifics of things. The Sylvari are linked Telepathically while growing to the Pale Tree and thus connected into the dream and are able to share information and also use it to learn and mature. Other Tree’s could possibly connect to the dream that the Pale Tree is connected to and share the tree’s experiences with its children and the world around it with other trees.

I do think the nightmare is part of the dream as a whole and the pale tree is pushing her children away from it or tired to keep them from interacting with it. could be one reason some feel the need to join the nightmare court a feeling of something missing or betrayal by the pale tree for not letting them explore that side.

Seems like the empathy the Sylvari have with each other and plants works with the dream as well and are able to send what they experience back through that connection which might be a sort of telepathy between the dream and Sylvari. The soundless sever the telepathic/empathetic bond that connects them to the dream and thus other Sylvari but are able to keep the bond towards other plants.

I would defiantly love a Mini Tybalt, Mmm apples…

I really hope in the future they bring him back as a “Hhe, you thought I died?! well maybe a bit injured but the apples kept me going. cant keep this charr down!” Really hope they can bring him back.

Every now and then even after the patch to fix the voices, I have only noticed when I gain a speed buff my female sylvari will sometimes say “I can run as fast as a Centaur!” there would be no other “floppy humans” around me. It dose not happen all the time but seems random none the less. Has also happened a few times in my personal story where I had been soloing them as well. But I have noticed that the pain noise for them its extremely exaggerated, last night i jumped and fell like 3’’ and She screamed like she was jumping off a tall building. I was like o_O ok… there have been instances when I have gotten the yell way after I fall too, I’ll hear this random scream of bloody murder like 20 seconds after whatever triggered it.

This is an awesome idea, a pet pouch to equip a pet and it could have an option to automatically summon it and you wouldn’t store in collectables tab by accident all the time.

I have to say I have a main that I play in one guild with and an alt I play in a guild that me and a buddy made with a few other friends. I can understand both points on this and as a guild leader/ officer its nice to know who is representing the guild and who isn’t.

although if your in multiple guilds it can be frustrating to be removed from a guild for not representing even if you had played and helped the other guild. this has happened a few times to me I would help my friend out on my alt and then be kicked from the guild I usually ran with because of not representing. I think something should be done about this. there needs to be a setting or some way to show that this character is representing your guild but not on the current character or possibly having a setting showing you are on one of your alts and to set a main for a guild and that is show to the guild that this guy’s Main is in our guild but he’s playing on an alt in another guild. Something along those lines.

perhaps another way would be having guilds not be account shared, i do understand this kind of defeats the ability to be in multiple guilds but would alleviate some of the “not representing” issues guilds face.

Thanks for the help Ashley Segovia, I have updated my root certs and as of now I am now able to access the trading post on my laptop computer, I will try it on my desktop and see if I am able to access it after updating the root certs for it, I will edit this post with future results. I play from a few different locations So I want to see if changing locations using various wifi spots will cause it to fail again after updating the root certs as well.

@QueLights I can see where some virus software and other services could hinder a connection to the TP. However if that is the case its better to figure out which are hindering it and having Anet fix issues with those services instead of having to instal a third-party software which can be dangerous in itself, they can contain virus’s and Trojans that are detrimental to account security.

I would suggest trying steps that Anet people have suggested and not using a third party software, if there are more problems Anet needs to know about them to fix the issues.

Even if this was an emote it would be awesome to have, although i like the idea of spicing up cooking with more fish related stuff. An item (toy) like the pirate sword would be interesting as well. would have same effects as the example emote below.

example emote:
/fish or /fishing, can only be used near body’s of water. your character starts to fish

displayed text :
Ikoshin is fishing, Ikoshin hopes to catch a big fish today! (something like this)

Action:
you see your character fishing throwing out and reeling in the line, possibly putting bait on and recasting after a short while.

I have found a cause and a solution for me at-least. I decided to test an idea that my Virus software could be causing issues, sure enough it was my virus software! I am currently using AVG free edition 2012, it was blocking the trading market from working properly. I disabled AVG then restarted the game and it works perfectly for me now. Hope this helps some of you out a bit.

EDIT:
Well i thought it was my Virus software, but now it appears its doing the same thing as before i turned it off. I think it might have something to do with how the overflow is handled or too many people trying to access it it could possibly some other issue. This is perplexing.

It could be possible they are related to the Crystal dragon, like minions, and followed its call and are now serving it.

I am having the same issue, I can view everything in the trading post but I unable to use the Buy button due to it being greyed out, also can not make custom orders or sell anything both of those options are not working as well.
