Guild Wars 2

I saw this too and thought. “Hey! New weapons I can get with tickets!” Then all I saw were the Gargoyle ones from Halloween. I think the other people who replied are missing the point in OP’s post.

It clearly says. “Find New Items and Tickets for NEW WEAPONS from the Black Lion Chest.” Of course this could always have been worded extremely poorly. Of course there are weapons that come in the Black Lion Chest that are random and come from a pool of weapons that used to be available in the past for Black Lion Tickets.

They could have said “Find New Items and Weapons from the Black Lion Chest!” Saying the “Tickets” part makes it sound like they released another string of weapons to be bought with BL Tickets, which they did not.

It’s still not fixed? I guess I’ll just skip it.

I find the movement fine. My only beef is one time I got killed by sliding down a small slope but I fall off a higher place and I am just fine.

Another thing that would make both parties happy, just have the option to block duel invites. You don’t want to duel, click a box to block it until you feel like you want to be duel. Problem solved. Everyone is happy.

Yes please! This would be simply amazing to have.

Wait we can have addons in the game now?! Since when?! o.0

Randulf.7614:

I’m guessing this is the ironic counter thread to the duelling one?

Yeah someone told me it was. Now I feel silly replying to it. Ahh well thus is the nature of internet forums.

Race change doesn’t work because of Personal Story and Racial armor. While the Racial Armor problem can be solved by changing the armor to the racial equivalent, the Personal story cannot. What the devs mentioned before is that it is apparently hard coded during character creation. So while gender can be changed, race cannot because of this.

Now I’m curious. Am I missing something in the WvW maps that they added that is suddenly appealing for PVE? I mean other than farming chests and Tomes.

One of my beefs of having duels is there is always that one guy who won’t leave you alone. Even if you block them or put them on ignore, if they have the ability to spam a duel challenge, they will and they will keep doing it. They are the ones that pretty much ruin the feature for everyone else.

Why? PvP maps are all about PvP. Is there something there important you want like a pet or armor set in that area or something?

The problem right now with new player races is the Personal Story. That is the huge crux. They would have to make entire new personal stories up to the part where the player joins one of the three orders before things become the same. Heck look at Revenants. They weren’t introduced into HOT but when you make a new character as one, you still gotta go through the entire personal story. It seems weird and jarring to be this warrior that gains their power from the mist but doing older story material.

Tonics are the work around. It saves time for devs to work on more relevant content. With tonics they don’t have to worry about making a new area or new personal story. They also don’t have to worry about meshing the existing armors over the new bodies. Tonics and away they go!

Does this mean that there won’t be a new playable race ever? No. We could get something BRAND NEW but as it stands Kodan, right now, aren’t getting the draw. They are tonics and in the future I believe we’ll get others in Combat Tonic forms, such as the Krait, Largos, and Tengu.

mrauls.6519:

Those dudes with the wings!!

The Largos? Yeah they would be sweet.

I like that is is at least an annual festival. Not like before when it was uncertain if it was ever going to return.

The invulnerability and other certain mechanics really makes instanced stories really aggravating at times. It can go from fun story to annoying tedium in mere seconds. I do like though that I can at least bring a friend with me. Unlike FF14 where all their instance stories (aside from dungeons and raids) force you to solo things.

Just to WvW, edge of the mists and follow the zerg. Easy tomes.

The ToT just feels weird and out of place now. Just give us three random things and add a fourth for Holiday related stuff.

1) I hated duels because there is always that one guy who will spam it on you endlessly until you except. Doesn’t matter if you are low level or have better gear, the person won’t leave you alone.

2) Gear Inspections tend to create a lot of elitism. Most play the game for fun, others are serious about it. So far GW 2 has been pretty chill with everyone working together with map events. You introduce gear inspection then folks are going to harass those with lesser gear, telling them to leave. It will split the community and that is something that should not happen.

3) Vehicles I am indifferent about. If they function like the magic carpet and broom, then everyone is happy. The moment they go faster than walking, people will get upset. Remember ANet has a big stance on not giving us Mounts. Heck they went out of their way to explain a mob in HOT wasn’t a mount.

Wooden Potatoes talks about it.

Wildstar is still alive?!

Seems really lame. Now we miss out on the third slot. So instead of three potential items. We only get two, the other slot being taken up by a ToT. If it lasts till Wintersday then that’s really gonna be a killer. Sorta glad I stocked up on BL tickets.

Doggie.3184:

With how horribly sexist Black Desert is, playing it isn’t really an option for me. I prefer immersive games that allow me to create characters similar to myself. On release there’ll only be one option for me to play a human male and he’ll be locked to Warrior only. (Wizard is locked to being an elderly old man, even though Witch is a young lolicon…?)
I never play Warrior/Tank classes in vidya games. He also has limited customization making him unrelatable to myself since it’s either big caveman jock or bigger cavemen jock instead of making a skinny agile type character. =/ Boring.

Maybe I’ll take another look at it when they add a male Archer, Tamer or Sorcerer if I’m not too bitter still. Korea seems to hate diversity more than the dude who designs Medium armor in GW2.

I’m happy here with GW2 where any gender and race can fill any class role and have different ways of playing each~ support/direct dps/condition/bunker~

Well I never knew that. Geesh. How do these games even make it on our side of the ocean?

I made the mistake of deleting two of my day 1 characters back during the Battle for Lions Arch update. I still regret it to this day.

Sandpit.3467:

Just remember mastery points are another attempt by ANet to force players to play the way ANet wants you to play, not the way YOU want to play.

How so? I spend a tiny number of hours doing various tasks, some of which sometimes introduce me to interesting stuff (lore, locations, game modes) and …then I’m done. The rest of the time, it’s up to me how I play.

And even then, mastery points are only as restrictive as earning hero points to max the elite specs (albeit with fewer options overall).

I don’t love the mastery system, but it’s hardly some sort of Orwellian reward tool. (INB4: I checked and no, they didn’t make me say that either.)

How so? – when you can only get Mastery Points for participating in very specific types of play, that is forcing you to play the way ANet wants. Unless you want to ignore all the character options purchased with MP (ignore most of the expansion I just purchased). I don’t do PvP, WvW, Fractals, Raids, or have lots of gold (just to name a few). As a dedicated PvE player, I am forced to do things I don’t like in order to participate in the MP system. There are literally no options to earn enough MP only doing the things I like.

Do they still throw that quote around? The whole ‘play how you want’ thing? I don’t mind that they included the Mastery Points in Tyria. I find it is sort of tedious trying to get them when they are tied behind silly achievements. Don’t get me wrong, I want to work for rewards. I just sorta want to have fun. Not stare at the screen in frustration.

GW 2 is like in the top five of MMOs. I don’t think it has anything to fear from Black Desert despite how much people complain about the game.

Ugh well this is even more demoralizing. If this keeps up then no one in the guild will want to even bother with the guild missions.

Two weeks now the guild missions for Rush and Puzzle haven’t been giving rewards. A lot of guildies are irritated and many more are demoralized. They don’t want to do any more guild missions except for Bounty which is the only thing that gives a reward. Is there going to be a fix for this soon?

How many times have the majority of the playerbase been angry with ANet every time they implement a change that either breaks the game or makes no sense?

The ones I remember off the top of my head were (not counting bugs):
-Trait changes.
-NPE.
-Megaservers.
-Lions Arch/Scarlet/Living World stuff.
-Super Adventure Box.
-Dragon Hunters

HoT Pricing seems to be the newest one on the table.

I’m disappointed but at this point what can I do? Everytime the players argued with ANet about something, ANet just went ahead and did it. We get ignored. We grumble about it and then we moved on (at least from my observations). They do something and we seem to suffer for it one way or another. Now I’m not saying ALL the players feel this way. There are ones who are legit happy or just don’t care. It’s just really baffling at times how mad a lot of us seem to get and ANet just shrugs at it.

And once again ArenaNet kittenes off the player base. The only thing they seem to do right.

You know Arenanet seems to do a good job at kittening off their player base more and more. You have to wonder if they are really so out of touch?

Hmm one Dragon is the size of a classic Godzilla monster. The other is smaller than Claw of Jormag. Gee I wonder.

Sword in the body is the Balthazar Greatsword. The ones the guards hold. Eh. shrug

sorudo.9054:

they should’ve put some more time in this system, a lame playlist file doesn’t work as good as you think it is.
first they should make a better way to add music, a more user friendly way.
secondly, there should be allot more categories on adding music.

i don’t want the same music in queensdale that i planned for orr and vise verse, at least be able to add music per region. (like kryta, maguuma jungle, ascalon)

have a map of each category and be able to simply drag the audio file in the map, that way you don’t have to struggle making a playlist and it saves so much time.

I agree with this. The city music I have playing for DR doesn’t sound right playing again in Black Citadel or Hoelbrak.

Not to mention the playlist just gets ignored in certain zones or just NOTHING PLAYS at all.

The reason for both professions is the way they switch between certain mechanics. For elementalists they switch between elements, fire, water, air, and earth. For engineers they have their kits PLUS their weapons they can switch to, as well as turrets.

Anet reasoned that because these two professions have more versatility than the other classes, that is why they don’t get weapon swap. They seem to be doing the same thing to Revenant though it kinda doesn’t work with them after playing the beta.

The first part with the fear spam is annoying. The other parts I have gotten used to. Like the whole ice spikes (which are backwards now, silly Anet) and ice shards. The fear should be on a proper boss timer rotation. Not "Hey I’ll just spam it a bunch of times and make this fight more tedious than it needs to be’.

Alpha.1308:

this has been extremely frustrating for me, as well, as i use an “ambient” playlist and listening to soothing music during an intense wvw fight gets really aggravating

i reported this weeks ago, i was going to start a forum post, but assumed it was on my end
-shrug-
hopefully it fixes soon

as a side note on audio, Death Shroud removing music during fights also irks me
i didn’t add tracks to the built-in playlist to be turned off entirely, if i wanted that, i could have just used a music player and paused it
should at least get quieter with the sound effects playing, rather than be turned off
>,>

Death Shroud seems to just make everything ‘quiet’ like you’re underwater or something. Even regular sound effects have a slightly muffled sound to them. It’s really stupid and wrecks the mood of the music.

Do people just ignore the whole “Note : This message was sent by another player. It was not sent by the Guild Wars 2 Team.” ?

That is like the biggest indication to ignore the mail.

While we’re at it, where’s our Makeshift weapons and Katanas?! Then again I have a feeling those sets are part of the HoT launch.

Yeah the battle music used to play when you fought a lot of mobs. Now it seems to play when you get hit by an attack that does a lot of damage or during scripted events. Boss Battle music still plays as it should.

I haven’t been keeping up with the beta cause I’ve been busy but we get access to more weapons now? Only had Hammer and Mace/axe during my playthrough on tuesday.

1) Do you have a beta character slot? Keep scrolling until you see it.
2) You can only play the beta during certain times which you can look up.
If you don’t see the beta character slot or beta button then I don’t know what else to say. Companies usually don’t compensate you unless you’ve lost money. Even then it’s iffy.

I don’t mind the Revenant but they really could have used Weapon Swap. I mean the traits have stuff that compensate for being melee or ranged but eh. I like being able to switch depending on the situation.

Hey it’s nice if you’re a Mesmer and a Guardian at least. Right…right?

Dueling I never saw a problem with in other games. Just give your character an option to block Duel invites so you don’t get spammed by that one guy who wants to wave around his kitten all day.

As for inspecting it pretty much invites harassment. “Oh why are you using that gear scrub!” Yeah it happens more often than you think.

Guys. Apparently there is a time. I dunno where that time is but I spoke with a few guildies. 11:30AM PST is the first wave. Then it goes down until 3:30 PM PST. I have my slot but I can’t make Revenant and was just as confused. I don’t remember seeing the time announcements though. I also find it very silly that we can only play in waves for like an hour or two.

So it wobbles when sheathed but doesn’t do the cool whip animation when used? That’s kinda lame.

We could do this since we already have the sling shot for short bows. Crossbow skin for rifles is not out of the realm of possibility.

So has this been fixed yet or are we still at risk of losing things after completing big events? Cause really what’s the point of logging in if I’m going to lose stuff now?

Wait is this still happening?! I thought they fixed the whole DC roll back bug?!

Jarvis.9540:

I lost a Genesis drop from Maw tonight because of the rollback.

Sad thing is. They will never compensate us over stuff like this.
