Guild Wars 2

While I agree with you and do feel bad for the newer players that had just been brought back at hearing the expansion. Giving a discount will make others feel that they are …entitled? (for lack of a better word.) to a discount also. The issue I see with this is the way they are marketing it. “Hey, Gw2 Core is free now!” yet no less than a few months or so people payed up to $40 for the game. I’m not saying HoT is not worth $50, i cant judge that since i have not played it yet. But it feels like they are pumping the price by claiming Core is useless now almost, despite it’s price tag still. I just feel like this whole Kitten storm could have been avoid by leaving core as is and then selling expansion separate, instead of devaluing what people already bought.

I think thats a Mordrem. While it is riding something. Who knows though.

Your call has been heard.

This should be in gemstore.

Probably true, also cutest title ever.

The trick is that Anet will know your eventual vote.

People will buy anyways, people always buy anyways.

All the noise and maneuvering will result in nothing — like always.

And people got electrolytes!

You made my day all that much better, Thank you.

But that’s just it, you do get the class with the expansion and no one is forcing you to spend anything beyond the $50.

Then tell me, what must I do to be able to play with a Revenant without having to pay an additional cost (be it with real money, massive farming or character deletion)?

You could use that free Gw2 account they’re giving you with it! (I’m joking and im sorry i had to say it! ;3)

HoT Standard Edition with partial access to Revenant: $50
HoT Standard Edition with garanteed access to Revenant: $60

GW2 launches with 5 slots and 8 professions. World does not end.

HoT adds a profession but not a slot. World ends.

You’ve either lived without having every class in your stable for 3 years, learned to wipe a character and free up a slot when you wanted to try something new, or you’ve bought more character slots in the past. Which is it, and why have you lost that ability all of a sudden?

I had the worst experience when starting Gw2….they had 8 professions…i only had 5 character slots ;~; halp. (Sarcasm.) While i /kinda/ see why people are complaining…it seems really immature. People seem to feel that just because they are releasing a new profession that you’re obligated to get a free slot for it, when you should have 2-3 slots (If you’re not an altaholic like me who has 7, and was already anticipating having to get another for rev.) If people are infuriated with pre purchase and ‘lack of content’ There is an easy fix. Wait until they reveal more and then decide. Going on a crusade does not seem like an intelligent way to go about it…

A sylvari asked me to toss their salad :|

Just dont go to the Ele Forums, they’re throwing a party.

Linnael.1069:

inb4 the people with no reasoning spam this with “but da griefers” “but da pvp” “but checking off autoignore is too hard”

o wait looks like they beat me here.

I like how so many seem to be opposed to this, but give no reason at all as to why. Just a flat out no and nothing more.

Theres already a post like this, or similar.

I think to give it a long cast time. say 10 to 15 seconds. This way… Leave combat> Start cast> Any damage or hostile incoming intterupts> Takes 10-15 seconds that you cannot move. Then you have swapped. This would prevent players from abusing it. Also not sure if it would be a good thing in sPvp.

Your build is locked once the game starts in PvP anyway so its not an issue there.

Ah okay, Did not know that. Dont pvp much lol. But yeah that would prevent that from being abused then ^^

Not sure how much this will help you but it could be an FYI =o. If you get a Mouse with a lot of buttons, you can bind one to Alt/Ctrl/Shift and then the rest to keys you need to use then you have 1/ ctrl+1/ Alt+1/Shift +1. So you could fit a ton of binds. But as far as macros I dont know sorry v.v

Mo Mo.1947:

The specializations are already far into development. Asking for a weapon won’t get it to ya this late in the game.

You do know that they stated there was going to be multiple Elite Spec’s per class? They said it in one of the PoI Videos. I’m not saying its going to come right along with HoT or the patch before, But whos not to say they are not browsing the Forums for future ideas.

Jaxom.7310:

indeed, griefers, spammers, dueling already exists via custom arenas, everyone only plays gw2 because there is no dueling, everything would be balanced for 1v1, it’d be just like wow, duelers are toxic, it could be bugged and right now gw2 has no bugs, i don’t want anet to dev features i wouldn’t play only features that matter to me forget youse guys

did i miss anything?

Gw2 has no bugs? /sarcasm? and besides do you even care to explain how duelers are toxic other than you clearly do not want the feature. Its not like you would even need to use it.

Just because you would not use a feature does not mean there is a group of people that would like to have it.

Chameleon Dude.1564:

• Almost every time I’ve ran into roleplayers, I’ve seen people trying to disrupt them.
• The game has next to no roleplay tools.
• Several updates have even hurt the ability to roleplay.
• They’re an endangered species, slowly fading away.

That would be why they’re often hiding and keep to themselves. As for being unwelcoming, I’ve never experienced that. Quite the opposite. Just need to keep looking, maybe head to one of the role play websites to find a group you’ll get on with (I can’t remember the names off the top of my head, unfortunately).

Sadly this is the reason some of the RPing guilds are as they are. The guild I am in is very friendly, but i have noticed a lot that most RP guilds are kind of hostile towards each other (not sure why actually.)

But sometimes we are forced to ignore others because they tend to stroll into the area we are RP’ing and start yellin profanity’s and generally being hostile towards us for no reason other then we are rping and they think it’s stupid. The ‘megaserver’ (for lack of a better word that i know) made finding a group of RP’ers difficult and even becomes a pain in the kitten when trying to RP since we have to hop partys and taxi people and you bet your kitten if anyone DC’s they will need another taxi most the time x.×. Compared to other games like WoW, (Only one i know, dont kill me.) GW2 has not very much to support RPing, but it is still fun if you find a group to do it with.

The only thing with this whole Pirate idea is, two swords does not sound all that …‘piratey(?)’ or at least from what I know. To me Sword/Pistol is as close as it gets. But then again, if not elite spec for a class, could we all just hope for sailing ships? (Im joking but would not turn it down if Anet did this xD)

I thought I heard something about larger partys, might of just been a rumor. But Really hope it is going to be a thing!

Alright, Thank you!

Hey, I’m wondering if there is a way to change the email my GW2 account is linked to, checking around my account I did not find a way unless i over looked something.

look up the WoW player that guarded a bridge somewhere and killed everyone that came upon him. famous example of in-world non-instanced dueling used to grief.

GW1 halls had it’s own personal battle option, where you could go 1v1 or up to 8v8 to practice for GvG battles. It was a great way to test builds and get to know how things worked, and it was separated and treated just like a pvp zone, so all skills and abilities were adjusted accordingly. This would be an excellent addition, and could be something to add a tier of research to the Art of War in the guild hall construction line.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding what is being talked about by ‘dueling’… but my understanding is that dueling would be 1v1 or XvX on INVITE. As in you would have to challenge another to a duel and cannot just run around killing people…which would be Open world PvP, not dueling.

It would be by invite, but even repeated invited can be considered griefing (see: gold sellers, LFG abuse, etc). In the aforementioned example the factions in WoW were involved, as you could freely attack anyone that belonged to the other faction. I don’t see that problem even existing in this game, but there is nothing preventing bugs from slipping through.

Inb4: fixed a coding error that allowed Asura to initiate duals with players without confirmation. that kind of thing.

A possible way of preventing the griefing of large amounts of invites is to make an ON/OFF feature to allow you to ignore/ not accept automatically or allow it to ask you.

But you are 100% correct about that, it’s hard to predict a bug and if one slips through it could turn into a bad time with people just going around killing others. If they do add the feature, personally I would like it so its just a duel, no staking for gold or items and such…i can see tons of issues coming from something like that.

Dante.1763:

I would not object to this implementation at all! It would be a great place to host our guilds little prize duels, that wouldnt be in the open world(Biggest gripe with dueling threads is that). This way nobody has to deal with Griefers or Any of the negatives that come with dueling!

Out of curiosity, what do you mean by griefers and such for open world dueling =o?

aspirine.6852:

Why wouldn’t you want to play as a Rat is the real question =p

Mightybird.6034:

Yep would be nice to know. I’m and old player and just made a new alt. Horrible experience… like I get it…it seems good in theory…but in practice………..maybe if buying them was 10x cheaper than it is from trainer (like 1 skill pt 10silver)

Yeah, Seems like they planned it for PvE/World exp mainly. But it is good they’re realizing this so they are changing it. Might take a while but better late than never!

I’m not sure about this. I kind of like that these are not very useful (In a way) Because then I am not choosing the race I want to play just because their racial skills are better then the race I enjoy playing. While I could see that some races have an advantage in some cases, but if it is to strong of an advantage simply because of your race…Not sure how I feel about that.

DresdenAllblack.1249:

R . I . F . L . E .

I’m sorry to sound a bit dramatic, but people calling out for Rifle Thief are starting to sound like people asking for that M-Word in the forums!

Mittens?

I hope its not just reskins of current pets. Just have a feeling of that <.<

If they are going to do this as they have said, I have to agree kind of. Most of the content being released in the patch seems very interesting to me. Though there is also that maybe they are doing that so they have more time to add things to expansion that they have not revealed yet. I assume (or hope) that they do give some more info into what they’re doing more with the expansion at E3. I’ve seen a lot of people are flustered that all it seems their getting is some new maps across all games types and guild halls with some other minor stuff. The rest of the stuff (I think, if i read correctly) is coming in the patch. Which I kind of agree, is a bit lack luster for an expansion and do hope they have more in mind.

Yeah, that is somewhat why i feel it may be less likely despite being an interesting idea. But there its also to keep in mind that the Thiefs offhand is almost like an other main hand due to it changing the 3 depending on the combination. The really only far fetched combination of all them is the Sword/Sword. But still leaves P/S D/S which is still 2 ability each and then 2 more depending on the combo (not including S/S in that.)

As far as Thief goes it also might not be completely out of the question for the chance of focus/ Specter/Staff in the future since they are kind of a hybrid class feeling.

While I kind of have a feeling this is unlikely for the first elite, I find this pretty neat. As a side note It would be kind of awesome if the Elite or something got turned into a form of quickness that makes you auto attack with both weapons or something, I dunno just throwing out ideas =o

Yeah man, that would be quite epic :)

I’m actually surprised that have not done something like they for warrior. Since it seems way more like something a warrior would do xD

From another of my posts.

Personally I would LOVE to see more Animations and Emotes. I know this is not a small addition either since it takes a lot of effort (Hell I’d be willing to pay for an animation package on the gem store.) Adding Ability to sit in chairs and not look like you’re a wizard with the ability to phase through a table. character hang gestures and mouth movement when using /s. Class specific dances (like from Guild wars 1!) and so much more.
This is kinda just a wishlist for a person who enjoys Roleplaying, but I can still hope!

This, so much this… emotes make the game feel alive, resist the urge to turn the game into a box were we run events… make it an rpg… a world to live in… or sit at least

And this is exactly how I feel. Yeah you can go talk to npcs and such but the rest of the world just feels kinda dull. Interacting with little things just make it feel a little more alive.

A exotic shoulder worth about 6 gold.

- I Dislike my main, and cannot choose what class to play still after playing so long and trying every class.
-I have not done even half of the dungeons in the game, including Story mode just…
-I’m afraid to try PvP and WvW because I don’t want to make people mad for sucking at pvp x.x
-Game Grumps motivate me for World Completion (I dont know either.)
-I chose my main based on no other friends playing it much.
-Most of my time online I just RP with my guild.
-Sylvari butt leaf is adorable.
-I dont play Warrior or Ranger despite them being the most appealing classes for my play style because I want to i feel unique in my group that has a very large amount of both warriors and rangers. :x

Pimsley.3681:

In matches, it’s common to see thieves, guardians and warriors criticize others with the same profession. Thieves mostly. It’s a hard class to master and the really good ones I admire. And when the rangers got the buff last year, they formed some sort of camaraderie, which I thought was cool…even though I was an outsider coz I played condi at the time.

This is why I am debating to stop playing/ maining my thief…do one thing thats not meta and people lose their kitten. Besides Thief is little too sqwooshy for my I think o.o

TAKU.1039:

I understand that we are all anticipating HoT’s release but it’s been months since we’ve had any new event and feeling very bored with the game at the moment. Was gearing up for a possible return of the “Queens’ Jubilee” and WvW season but to date nothing. Anything planned anet?

Hang in there for another week (half a week kinda?) and we will hopfully get some good info from Anet at E3. For alot of players E3 may be Anet’s make it or break it point to hold their interest :x

nottsgman.8206:

you very much can create a group, just make sure that you tell whoever joins that you haven’t done the dungeon before, or put that in your description when creating the group.

Alot of people are willing to tell you how to do a dungeon and such if you say it’s your first time ^^.

" No matter how much the truth hurts, it will never hurt as bad as the betrayal that comes with living a lie. Tell your truth anyway "

Arena net need to hear the truth: thief profession is extremely problematic: broken… for too long (3 years+) is not ok!!. Thief Profession need to be urgently resolve as soon as possible.

Last,

" Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently "

Thief is a fail profession: it need to be redesign and rework.

I agree DarkSyze thief is completely broken it need to be nerf a lot

WHEN WILL ARENA NET FIX THIS BROKEN CLASS?

You do Realize that if a thief has a twig rub against them they are Pretty much going down?

The only suggestion I can offer is to look at the wiki for that area to see what events pop and where as some are multi chain events which can be your best luck in getting through the daily quickly. It is discouraging to hear an event put out, race there only to find it has just finished….

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Snowden_Drifts

[snip]

Thank you very much for your post which helps to alleviate some of the problems of that zone. But IMO it remains a problematic zone nevertheless

I agree with you there! I have seen a lot of Snowden Drifts events bug which makes it even more difficult to complete. Quaggan Emissary one comes to mind..

I would rather like to see something like a temporary renowned heart that you had to find on a particular map and complete it for that day. It should be something either instanced or exactly like renowned hearts you do when completing a map except it is gone the next day. Anet could change them up so it would stay fresh and would give folk some new things to do and look forward to whether it was collecting stuff, finding and touching markers for clues to the next marker all over the map, finding and reading books/history or going around the map looking for a certain number NPCs to talk to. Heck, they could something like talk to this npc and if you pick the right conversation track, he/she directs you to the next npc. Throw in a little lore or history and you got something folk might enjoy…

That sounds like it would be pretty nice. Perhaps they could also make events in the daily area’s Spawn more often too? Still like the unique renowned heart idea better though haha.

Maybe you can push the wings down and together to for a personal mobile table :D!

I would Pay gems for an Full animation pack, not really afk animations.

-Dances from GW1 or more.
- /s talking and hand gestures
- For the love of the six the ability to sit in a chair…?
Tons more probably, just fun stuff usually used for RPing or just general messing around.

So I swear I saw someone post some what of the idea I am going to be saying (Im sorry but i cannot remember who or where i saw it )

It would be kind of neat if Condi had more stats that it needed to make it stronger. Just throwing an idea out kind of but for example precision for crits and then possibly have a higher application of conditions per crit. I don’t know if this would make it OP but it could be a neat mechanic aside from just vit and toughness on the side. Possibly lower individual condition damage, but since a crit would mean more stacks, more damage rewarding? I don’t know, just kind of adding the idea that i read and my own thoughts.
