Guild Wars 2

ArchielDiem.7650:

add Tome of Wrath’s AoE knockdown (or at least that cool animation) to that Shout
and I think we’d have a deal

Well said!

Alliance chat was the best. Visiting allies’ guild halls was enjoyable as well.

I think it would be great for WvW but also cross server PvP & Stronghold would benefit from it. (At least my friends are scattered in different guilds, so currently it is kind of hard to keep in touch.)

People used to create extra ally guilds for playing GvG with less experienced players. That was excellent!

“They have play tested everything from 5v5 to 10v10. Nothing is set in stone yet for how the standardized setup will be, and likely will not be decided until enough beta testers comment on it. (HoT beta testing coming, no word on invites).”

Hopefully they’ll offer custom arenas with modification options. Looking forward to beta testing!

high five

I vote in-game high five emotes for all! :-) GW1 has it. Among other great ones GW2 is missing.

Thank you, looking forward to the expansion!

Harper.4173:

Somehow I never seem to get any attention or replies from the devs. I think it’s just me.

:) I’d send my useless Greatsaw to you if it wasn’t soulbound.

. . . “I’m encouraging my entire gazillion-member guild to jump to Game Z].”

I just wanted to say that if Anet don’t want that, do your job better. No offence.

It’s pretty clear to me the forgettable “living story” will lead to an expansion but PvE & loot should still be more interesting to keep casual PvP players like me interested. The expansion – or whatever you call it – will be make-or-break .

GW2 ended up being too ambitious. Less is more. Show me I’m wrong!

I just want to say it is epic being able to play with friends from different servers. Gotta hope for same color as often as possible.

Season 2 soon? Gonna play EotM till it.

JoopFOX.9510:

I’d also like an invite to the NA guild All is Vain.

Me too!

I recommend GH as well.

Why do they fail when the pet is moving? The game is all about using skills on the move.

It’s very annoying to wait for the pet to use one simple skill.

Bring back the Zaishen chest with a chance of getting a precursor drop.

scerevisiae.1972:

• Downed state in PVP zones. Adds nothing to the game but detracts a lot. It’s annoying, disrupts the flow of combat, introduces imbalance and farcical rally situations.
• Fixed weapon skills. Far too restrictive for me, pigeonholes weapons into roles & can cause whole weapons to be ruined because of just 1 bad skill.
• No resource system. Has caused GW2 combat to be all about spamming skills/dodges.
• Addition of ascended gear after release. Massive PR blunder. Pushed the game into a grind corner it has yet to escape from.

QFT. Next year will be very important for the game. An expansion could help a lot, but in the end I’m not going to stay if the PvP keeps being boring. 2014 will be a make-or-break, imo.

Using over ten omegas to cap hills isn’t fair. That was during the day tho.

Good job Darkstorn & Co. Keep it up, everyone! This isn’t even night capping anymore. This is when soldiers wake up.

I heard we need more “elitist” guilds that run without a commander tag. Apparently RoF need decent pug commanders so they’re welcome too.

Hardcore!!

“The cinematics team really knocked it out of the park. The June team took some chances with the noir feel, writing style, and design and art choices. Honestly, I wasn’t sure how it would be received. Glad that some folks are “getting” the concept, as it’s not as common in fantasy MMOs.”

I want more of that noir feel we got during Dragon Bash.

Also, watch Supernatural.

aspirine.6852:

I’d rather fight him again than any dragon……

that guy was pretty crazy looking. the funny thing is that there arent even that many dragons to fight in gw2 lol. Id rather have cantha than more dragons.

Oh yeah. Bring back Cantha! And elite dungeons (with more than five players).

[…]our awesome reputation as the best guild on RoF as you put it lols.

Aahahahahahahaha! Oh my, can’t stop laughing =)) Ahahahahahahahaha! You have many fans =)) Oh, you guys …

Thanks for making me laugh. Dat pic. What’s happening in this thread

Bronze league will be the best fights!

Bump because Johnny Cash.

I don’t know.. she and the robots remind me of Ratchet & Clank.

Kain Francois.4328:

This is bullkitten. Who are the kitten carebears voting for that boring kormir-clone?

My thoughts exactly.

The video’s epic! I hadn’t seen it.. gosh, hadn’t laughed that hard in a while. Thank you!

I’ll definitely vote for Gnashblade.

I wanna see /drums and /guitar the most. /roar needs to be added as well.

Valandil Dragonhart.2371:

I don’t wanna dump on the cinematics guys here, but that reminded me of the cutscenes that were straight out of Need For Speed Underground II. Same art design, same partial movement through the sequence (ie. coins and coin bag dropping) all felt very familiar in a different genre of game that came out ~15 years ago.

What I’m saying is that the art direction itself is not original, but if it’s going to be this well received then kudos to you.

Interesting point of view! NFSU2 was a great game ^^ The cutscene reminded me of Max Payne tho. I’d really like to see more of that and Cantha related stuff and eventually Cantha expansion!

wasted.6817:

1000 regular ones. 1 ticket, 10 minis. I think this system is ok as long as we’re talking about RNG stuff, but for real, in my mind, these kinds of weapons should be rewarded for some challenging, interesting task, like it used to be in GW1, not for pure dumb luck.

I agree. Over 1337 regular ones. 1 ticket, >15 minis.

pejot.4806:

Ooooh I was hoping that there was more posts in this thread :P I guess everyone were busy fighting, we had a blast in UW borderlands. We had a lot of fun fights against both UW and Blacktide. I hope that we can keep that pace all week

And UW, we were totally sure you were going to take bay from us when inner walls went dowmn and you had like 2-3 times our numbers around :O

It was awesome! Great commanding and fun moments, I really enjoyed GW2 again. Thanks, everybody! It was a blast to operate on UW borderlands. This is a rare sight for me:

I got an ascended ring from a rank <10 chest. Wish it was a precursor tho.

Soo, anyone up for FA / JQ in GW1?

Hahaha! I won’t have a rank 120 character but those bronze and silver ranks are depressing.. It would have sucked to go from Savior of the Kurzicks/Luxons to Bronze Kurzick/Luxon Supporter in GW1.

Josh Foreman.8250:

Cantha was my favorite GW1 region to work on. And I worked on every GW release. I know a lot of the dev team loved it and would love to revisit it. I kinda agree with critickitten about the negative aspect of tight corridors. Most of that came from hitting technological limits while trying to keep the epic quality of the concept art. I think we could do some really amazing things with those themes in our new engine. Certainly nothing is ruled out. I certainly encourage anyone to express your desire for a Cantha region in GW2 in a positive and friendly way. It could be years away, but it’s worth asking for.

Cantha and pandas MUST be brought back!

War Inc [WIC] are kitten. kittening invulnerable spots!

…after going underwater.

(acolyte boots, the ones bought with badges)

Turgut.4397:

I’ve never been addicted to it’s PvP until they released Alliance Battles. That’s all I ever done for years, AB, AB, AB. Alot of ‘elitists’ didn’t count it as real PvP, but it’s the most fun I’ve ever had in a game.

QFT. Gotta love how some players used to call AB PvE.. and now we have WvW… GW1 will always be among my favorite games because of AB. Even if they brought it back, it wouldn’t be as fun in GW2 without monks, imo. Also missing the amount of crazy builds that worked in AB ^^

I guess I’d still like to see a balanced battleground format in GW2 without siege weapons and downed state. But I’d rather go back to GW1 (NCsoft, make it free to play!) and play AB. — on other maps than A-lands / Kaanai. Saltspray Beach, Grenz & Etnara were the best!

lol, it’s been pretty fun.

This cracked me up:

(I didn’t attack them, should have been listening to I’m on a Boat by the Lonely Islands xD)

I want to troll enemies again with my rabbit!

(and would actually play sPvP to get the dolyak emote)

Priceless! WvW in a nutshell..

The video’s featured on Guildcenter – 12/17/12 – Special Guests: Habib Loew & Matt Witter – ANet WvW Devs

Good job on the map, ArenaNet! I was positively surprised it’s pretty much a remake of the one in GW1. GW2 needs more recognizable areas like this! (Hint: Remake some of the guild halls. Don’t drown Shing Jea Monastery.. just make Cantha more recognizable than Tyria, please.)

Dwayna Vs Grenth was more fun than this, imo. Especially because titles are so pointless in GW2, not to mention achievements.

pejot.4806:

I must say that this evening was one of the best WvW experiances I’ve ever had. First epic defense of SM (awesome job there Chris), then my guild capturing Hills in FS border and defending it vs superior numbers

Yeah, it was a fun weekend. I got an abyss dye so can’t complain. :P

Kain Francois.4328:

I really hope they consider these birds for a future expansion, hopefully the “Return to Cantha” expansion.

Me too! I feel like it’s very likely.

Darmikau.9413:

Really, REALLY want them as a playable race.

Especially if they /dance Gangnam style.

This is what the making of GW2 book says about the subject:

I wish I had done it on my lvl 80, but rewards aside, I really enjoyed some parts of the event. I hope they’ll add an elite area soon. It would be great to do scaling content as a guild!
