Guild Wars 2

Hey im looking for a PvX, friendly guild with active players that are ready for HoT and it’s challenges. I would love it being on the Tarnished Coast server cause im from there too, and therefore can participate in WvW with the guild.

btw, if any member of remnants is here, i tried to do the application for the guild today and it never sent me the confirmation email for my forum account :/

I really didnt realise this until i got a new pc. in my old laptop pc gw2 was running like literal kitten. i mean 15 fps. i thought it was just the pc. But when i got a new pc (i mean a gaming pc) i realized that gw2 was still running real bad. Sure, on the open world it runs at 40 fps. but in Orr (it runs at 25) and in lions arch (runs at 12) the fps simply die. Besides , in WvW (one of my fav gamemodes since launch), where on launch ran at 15-20 on the laptop (then it simpy ran at like 6 fps, sound delay included). it really runs like at 15 on fights. this is really disapointing to see because i feel gw2 was waaaaaaay more optimized at launch. i know it isnt my gaming pc because it runs other games (like rome 2) on 35-40 fps, so im pretty sure its specificaly this game. needless to say, pls optimize this game because, the great gameplay, epic battles and great pvp are really hindered by fps drops

…………….what do you mean by “racechanger”?

Although i do agree of your visions for this game, i dont think the game will die if they are not implemented, well, maybe a small load of 5 man content needs to be added permanently and not the temporal (but AWESOME as hell) dungeons we get. when talking about expansions, i think your knowledge about the expansion development times is rather limited, as far as i know the FIRST expansions of most of mmos dont get themselves done on a year, in fact the first (and im gonna get flamed for this) WoW expansion released on 2006,2 YEARS after the release on 2004. But besides that, gw2 isn’t the case like WoW because it doesn’t release PERMANENT content for patches but temporal ones, with this being said then the gw2 expansion could in fact be by the end of this year. Now when talking about raids Gw2 doesn’t really need some, Why? well tequatl can explain it for ya, you could just give him a 30% chance of exotic drop and a rare drop and you got yourself a raid boss, buff all the Dragons this way and create more giant/difficult world bosses with this and then gw2 hardcore endgame content would be almost fulfilled. but that is just my opinion

1. New Tequatl
2. Content updates
3. Lvling
4. Claw of mommafriggin jormag

……..dude, obviously this isnt an event for casuals, that was the god kitten idea. Look, the content for casuals is EVERYWHERE on gw2, the small events, shatterer and the other bosses (outside of claw) are easy for casuals. in fact imo if they make ALL the dragon bosses/big world bosses content that requires skill and coordination gw2 would have great endgame pve content worth for both for casuals and hardcore. But complaining that they made ONE GOD kitten BOSS for hardcore players instead of the usual casual players is pretty crappy indeed

And so, the dawn of a new age for gw2, where players band together on a serious guild to beat the mighty dragon. this is indeed the begining of Hardcore Gw2 content and the golden age of gw2!

no nerfs to tequalt or its friends, period. It is one of the few difficult bosses of gw2 (+claw of jormag)

i just hate this kitten ed zone, i mean yeah the meta event will be cool, but everything in it is complete kitten. Worse than orr on the early days of GW2

well, at last a reason to go to southsun cove

In the last 9 months gw2 has been a really good game, besides te bugs at launch, it is pretty sweet. but the updates are, well no real updates. i mean i remember reading a post about the dungeons 6 months from december, one Anet guy said that it would be hard to predict how they will look 6 months from december ( 6 months from december = June) but they would be surely different……we are practically in June and we only have: Fractals and a temporary “dungeon” which is basically a chamber with 1 boss, and no chest ( canach). molten facility is over, no more of that one. after southsun we will only have fractals from an extra dungeon……

i think Anet should start focusing on more content for the future, not this temporary stuff, i mean real dungeons, dungeons that will still be in the game for 2 months after they are implemented, with many bosses and good loot, if they are saving the dungeons for an expansion, i cannot complain, but at least they should give us 2 or more dungeons ( REAL dungeons that are not temporary) meanwhile we wait, at least that is my opinion on the topic

Yeah, this zone……i dont know what it is with this zone, but imo every update on this one has been bad. Not kinda liking the southsun cove stuff now, i mean we were promised a dungeon, to hunt canach, but we got an instanced room with a idiotic boss.dating back to the lost shores this isle looked epic, but boy was i wrong (exept for the final ancient karka fight) this isle is kinda uninspiring, at least in orr we have some karma vendors when we take the temples, not seeing real reward in here, besides the karka backpack and that title for the crab tossing stuff. what are your opinions about this event

hey, i got this doubt that has been bugging me, can you send a name change contract to another character of yours? i mean, i still got the first character i made back on launch, but i didnt level it, so can i send one from my main to him? can i do the same with the makeover kit? plz answer

i am trying to download the patch of SSC, since i have not played in a while, but it is stuck at 1 file remaining, and doesnt want to download, my internet is fine (thats how i can write this), but i really want to play GW2 now. can anyone help me?

well, this would be a great feature, i mean it could cost 350 gems like the total makeover, and it would complete the “total makeover”, because srsly, some of us are unhappy with the names of our mains, it would be nice

I am colombian, and i want the god kitten page in english, Classical Spanish (spain) is Terrible, i want to have the page in english, i have tried 5 times chaging the language of the home page from /es to /en but it kkeps chaging me to /es or worst /es/en and it sends me an error message, i am really stressed about this, I HATE IT, so plz PLZ let us select our own homepage language, and if we can, plz tell me how t do it!!!!!!

so i was at wayfarer and i saw the warning that the lionguard were attacking the sons of svanir’s major stronghold, i went and surprise, there was nothing in it, it has been acting this way since yesterday, we need attention to this bugged event as soon as posible.

Hey guys, here is a new series id like to call What’s up GW2! in which i would like to give a little review on important stuff you should know. i will be posting one each week if i get positive response by the community. so lets get started shall we?

Theme 1: Frost and fire

the brand new update on GW2, it includes many new features like:

Guesting: to bring a friend to another server, but it isnt server transfer, but it is a temporal transfer that works only on pve content (no more WvW guilds going from one server to another, oh no)
Revamps to gw2 zones which include wayfarer foothills adn diessa pleteau
Changes to the daily/monthly achievment’s rotation and some special "achievment currency which you can trade for various goods like some ascended gear!

it will be the begining of a series of events that will change Tyria forever!
But the real question is, Will it be a kitten event? like te lost shores which was full of buggy content and extreme lag and framerate issues? we will see in the coming months the answer to that question

Topic 2: Legendary grind

In many games like for example WoW or everquest Legendary weapons are weapons of extreme power which can be obtained by a series of epic quests, very difficult to do, GW2 has this weapons, but the way to get em is no epic quest chain, is basicaly a Big Phat Grind, and some part of the community is angered by this calling the gw2 weapons “The kitten Legendaries”, “kittening Grindfest” and stuff like that. The devs are yet to respond if they will do somehing about this or not…

That would be all for this What’s up GW2! editon 1, be sure to comment if you like this and i will do one every saturday. See you next time Folks!

So as you may have noticed, gw2 is getting a kitten load of changes, of good changes in fact. so i decided to make my small wishlist for 2013:

1. More WvW maps with different mechanics (Like for example, big ship battles with cannons ,boarding and stuff, that would be awesome) keeps/forts being more difficult to breach and also to put a little more strategy by making walls dont magically appear after you have capped it, but to be rebuild it (that will make mindless zergs less efective)

2. i see they have said that they were making changes to world bosses and stuff, but u gotta keep in mind to make them MORE DIFFICULT, And MORE REWARDING (though they also said the rewards in 2013 would get better)

3. Improvment of the storyline, and by improvement i mean kill trahearne, the storyline hijacker, make him die or something so WE can be the main character or at least someone important on OUR storyline.

4. More world bosses, being difficult and having phat lootz

5. FIX THE BUGS, 1/7 OF THE EVENTS ARE BUGGED
well, that is all i want for now, what do you guys want?

a longbow for my guardian……PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ

this is madness, free trial guys got precursors and exotics, and peeps that were since day 1 that dced for some reason didnt get anything, so u are repeating on some servers? you are doing it wrong, you should do it on EVERY SERVER no just a few, im sure im not alone in this and plz do it 16:00 to 0:00 tomorrow (many people are not on work at that time and you would give a good portion of the ones who missed it a chance)

its repeating, but all overflow repeating servers are full, ANET DO IT ON ALL SERVERS

NEED AN INVITE TO AN ACTIVE BOSS SERVER

i want to go to the sea of sorrows events, but i dont have the time to go for 5+ levels per day, im only lvl 52, the dungeon will remain there, im not concerned about that, i just want to go to the event, will miss it?, does the upleveling system work in live? (the one that lets u invite a player on your lvl 80 party and that player scales depending the zone?
ej, ruins of orr, you get upscaled to lvl 77-80) plz answer

CD is a great oponent to spar with, they have been sieging sm for like an hour, without stopping, but the great armies of the tarnished coast are stoping them from having complete control over the castle

this is what i want the most gw2, i think it would be a great idea to add guild achievements, so the guild has a big group activity aside from WvW, im sure it would please the player base, also it would be great to add 10 mans, YEAH, 10 MANS, anet should add a dungeon difficulty for 10 man partys, it would have unique gear, traps (ddo style of course) and well designed difficult bosses, anet should learn that a big group activity is necesary for any good kind of pve ALSO make the world bosses drop unique gear, because i heard the only thing they drop, is vendor trash, so we have plenty of options on pve. so those are my 3 things anet should add

what are yours?

ps: PLEAAAAAAAAASE ANET PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE

i really hope we get 10 man parties, i mean, the only thing that the whole guild can do together is WvW……WE WANT PVE ALSO ANET

are u an idiot man? , downleveling is what makes gw2 “endgame” take time, if it wasnt for it, the game could easily wither and die, since the dragons are easy and are farmed and the dungeons have a challenge, but u have no incentive to get back to an explorable mode…

PVP
Modes: MOMMA FRIGIN GvG (lol),duels and (the upcoming) paid tournaments (the one from the mad king patch the day after tomorrow), and EVEN MORE GAME TYPES (cap the flag, deathmatch, free for all etc, etc etc)
PuG pvp:
i didnt really find any complaints about this one, browser typed pvp, but i could be wrong
Spvp:
people are saying it is a lost of potential, not really sure why, but i could use some info, so far i loved pvp
WVW
i made this category to make wvw apart from normal pvp, basicaly, people feel the wvw are just mindless zergs doing aoe fests with 8 rams over and over and over, and if the team goes into your base,u lost it, solutions vary from increasing gate and wall resistance, to make the defensive team have some kind of “buff”, also players feel the rewards arent rewarding, and the comander title is adquired by mere currency and not by the experience at WvW
GUILDS
Guild Halls, enough said ( if u want to post more, post it)
CRAFTING
Well, the playerbase has been complaining about the legendary grindfest, i am not sure what is the problem, so someone should explain this
PERSONAL STORY
some find the Zhaitan battle dissapointing, besides multiple bugs in the whole story, playerbase wants that the order you chose (vigil, whispers or priory) influence your story 50+, some also think it is to easy

i created a post about this, but i didnt see this one xD, this is basicaly how it went
ENDGAME:
Endgame: many posts have been wandering about this, so i compressed the into this one, basically, people ask for more challenging things, more large party options, and to make the zones lvl properly with ya (make the loot at ascalon be the same as orr, so you arent forced into 1 zone, if i am wrong, please let me know)
(example, clip clob the giant crab doesnt drop the same as as joe the engineer or any other mob, or more specificaly, MAKE EM HAVE UNIQUE LOOT, not same greens and blues that drop from mobs of the zone). also players want elite zones from gw1
NOTE: I made those names up
also, we want to get queued in group for activities like KEG BRAWL
CLASSES:
i found mayor issues on just a few classes, they go something like this:
Guardian: GS is destroyed, Ranged is not viable in wvw
Ranger: shortbow is destroyed, class isnt viable on pvp
Warrior: its boring
Thief: OP (thieves are actually complaining they are OP)
If u got any issue with a class, like amechanic or something post it with the format above (dont start asking for nerfs and things like that)
PVE:
i wanted to get to this really bad
Dungeons:
THEY ARE TOO EASY, AND THEY ARE TOO HARD (lol), so people have been posting solutions to this, i chose 1 for each case
THEY ARE TO EASY. make a mode in the middle of explorable and story.easy enough for casual players to enjoy a more “hardcoreish” experience
THEY ARE TOO HARD. make a 10 man mode that is challenging, with different boss mechanics, and be lvl 80 only (this fits in both endgame and dungeons)
another issue with this is THE LOOT, bosses drop the so called “mob drops” or “vendor trash”, Bosses MUST have unique loot, and the most rewarding loot on the legendary mode (like super badges to by exotic gear) to be an incentive to players. DO NOT GET ME WRONG, this isnt wow, when i refer to Legendary mode dungeons, i am not refering to arah alone i am refering TO ALL OF THEM. Also, people are wanting a dungeon APART from the wow types, like with deadly traps, designed to make the brain of the player work, unlike the traps on for example AC, that just require runing, or a mesmer :P. Better boss mechanics, like peeps firing from plataforms, or a AoE attack that makes the boss room have fissures where the player might fall, or make the whole room have an earthquake (idk they are just ideas, but u know what am saying)
Open world pve:
world bosses would have the unique items characteristicsand unique drops (example, clip clob the giant crab doesnt drop the same as as joe the engineer or any other mob, or more specificaly, MAKE EM HAVE UNIQUE LOOT,) those unique items would be as good as the legendary dungeon ones, and if champion event mobs scale for 10+ people, the drop should be as GOOD as the other 2 for lvl 80 peeps (i have considered the effort required for every champion ahve a unique loot, so it would be arranged by types, for example ghosts champions would have unique ghost loot, giant champions would have unique giant loot and so on). and even better if it goes to 30+ peeps ( i mean, a better version of of the boss drop, not a whole different item), oh yeah, did i mention people also want word bosses MORE DIFFICULT?? :P
NOTE: as world bosses are open for everyone, the lvl scaling loot would apply, so lvl 60 dont get lvl 80 gear, and i mean unique items for the lvl tiers (for example the shatterer) 55+

Well, i think this concludes the list, feel free to post coherent suggestions about this topics, the idea of this post was not a wowhead of the forums, but a place where good ideas and suggestions are viewed in an easier way than scrolling down the forums

Thanks for your time, feel free to post

so after wandering around the forums i have seen may complains about the game, i also saw cool ideas lost on the middle of the forums so i wanted to create a post mentioning all those ideas so they dont scatter around,

NOTE: this ideas are the ones i consider to be worth the time, but you can post more over here instead of creating a new post. in this format

SECTION: (endgame,pve, pvp wvw…)

SUBSECTION: (guardian, tournaments, arah)

IDEA or depending on the situation, CORRECTION Correction: (write your idea or correction)

well, thank you really much, u clarified my doubts

so, i had a charr ranger, and i made him vigil, now i got a norn guardian and i want to make it a whispers agent, but every time i think of it, it defies the concept of rightgeousness of the guardian, and i dont know how whispers armor looks on it, so tell me, is it ok that i go whispers? i am not bothered by choosing vigil, but i really want to know, i also know that whispers plan for the dragons is to sleep em again, i am bugged by this, but i think whispers is cool. so please

is it plausible that a guardian joins the order of whispers??

man i played GW2 since 3 days b4 launch (reserved the game) but, unlike u, i didnt rush the lvling to see “endgame” i didnt rush it at all, i tried all professions to see which one i liked, i had some fun with the questing in the starting zones, i did some WvW, i went slowly and it has been sweet until now. i think if you want to enjoy this game, u CANT speed lvl, u will end up in max 4 days later and will run out of things to do REALLY quickly, why? because u speed lvld on a game that has been out for almost 3 months, that is NOT a good strategy, u should have enjoyed the lvling as many of us did, not rushing it. but dont worry, october 22 will get you some sweet new content, and take my advice, if u run out of things then, create an alt, of a diferent race, diferent profesion and enjoy the lvling

P.S. For endgame content wait a few months, content patches will stack up and u will have REALLY much things to do

i can tell ya which of those thing are probably in development, and the ones that are confirmed

-variety of gametypes
-arenas
-duels
and for the confirmed ones
-more maps

-GvG

kk, i like your build but i really want to know more hammer builds for pvp

dont. u. DARE. remove the downed state

so i rolled a guardian since launch, but, i wanted to see if there were any other classes i liked, i liked guardian the most (ranger pvp seemed boring and thief, well……it was a thief)so i entered my guardian and BOOM i was like wtf am i suposed to build for my hammer guardian in pvp?, i managed to make a build that goes like this
25 I II
25 III VIII
20 II VIII
having some fire damage building and making it so if i put conditions, i deal more damage to the foe, but well, im still a nooby guardian so could ya plz “rate” my build and giving me some advice on how to create a good hammer guardian build? it would be also cool if u could get me adivice also for a pve tanky guardian, but for now, primaly pvp

yeah so sometimes my character is in the middle of nowhere walking and suddenly i start to hear

“IM HIT”

“EXELSIOR”

“UGH, MY LEG”

and things like that, all with different voices, its really annoying, can u fix it?

So, i have a guardian, and its really fun, i am a hardcore gamer, i had experience with other mmo, but not any as gw2, this mmo is just beautiful, but the Scepter of the guardian, makes me CRY. it has so much potential, wasted, the orbs, the enemy just walks to avoid them because they are too slow, the aoe is to little, making it UNUSABLE IN ANY TYPE OF WVW. and what i see it is that it is SO EASY to fix this, maybe complicated in terms of programing, but the updates for making the scepter a good ranged weapon are minimal yet CRUCIAL, i can find two so far

1. FASTER ORBS
2.MORE AREA OF EFECT FOR THE NUMBER 2 SKILL

done, that is what the scepter needs to be a viable ranged weapon, but anyways, what do you think?

hello, so i opened this post to let people know guardians need a viable ranged weapon, and well, it is really annoying to be the only profession with little ranged options, the scepter little orbs are to slow, they should fix the speed of them and give the scepter more range, if not, we could use, bows …….and so i prepared a complete list of the abilities they could use:

1= fire arrow, your normal autoatack that inflicts some fire damage (not much)
2= heavenly aegis, (just a suggestion for the name) fires an arrow that shields the people in a decent (not to large) AoE
3=divine fire, AoE damaging fire atack
4= blunt arrow (again, just asuggestion for the name) fires a blunt arrow that dazes your foe
5=divine wave (just a suggestion for the name), not what you think, you fire an arrow that as soon as it touches an enemy, sends a wave that heals allies and damages foes

that concludes it, i think it would be a good adition for a guardian, since a guardian isnt focused on dealing brutal damage like warriors, but to deal damage AND protect allies, i hope Anet reviews this post, guys, please give me your feedback
