Guild Wars 2

Ohoni.6057:

Yeah, the bonus gear not only looks a bit lame, but it’s an OUTFIT. When will they learn that nobody wants outfits. We want armor skins, bits and pieces that we can mix and match with different armor skins as we see fit. I would take a single completed armor set for 2-3 dozen outfits any day of the week. I would take a single good pair of shoulders or gloves over a full outfit skin. They need to give up on the Outfits, and this pre-order bonus is a really bad sign.

They did skins in the beginning but its too much work to fix every little clip for the 6 pieces of armor for each of the 5 races for both sexes and the 3 different types of armor, apparently. one skin fits all just easier. But i agree this is fashion wars!

Zeem.2564:

The larger glass weapons look really cool and I want to make them work with a character. But the outfit didn’t work for me at all.

That said, even if I researched the skins and outfit before buying I’d still have gone Ultimate. Expansion, character slot, level 80 boost, shared inventory slot, VIP area access, a heap of gems… a couple vanity skins don’t bother me.

the only reason to go ultimate is if your are going to be buying gems in future mine as well get em now, plus some extra stuff. NO REASON to get middle option the “extras” aren’t worth the extra money alone. Get the cheap one instead. but since 4k gems cost 50 bucks anyways(29.99+50= 79.99+extra stuff) ultimate is the way to go if u want that extra stuff. I know some people who spend 10-15 bucks a month [real money] on gems since they don’t have to pay subscription fees anymore. I figure buying gems just once an xpac(you’d prolly spend the same over the course of the xpac or more) ain’t bad imo.

Behellagh.1468:

That outfit is a throwback to GW, or so I’m told.

Would have been cool if it actually looked like that. Unfortunately for female characters it looks like this

Am i the only one that wants a more muscle bound weightlifter female body type? Think it would be awesome.

It’s a GW1 thing, if you’re a vet of that game more likely that you love it.
You’re right it looks terrible, but hey i was playing “World of Warcraft” during those days, So the mounts thing is awesome! (Since they basically ripped off ArchAge with how these mounts function.) Now if the next step is to make mounts able to fight with you like in BDO It’d be more awesome, but i doubt that is gunna soon.

the reality is the direction the game was going pre launch is now over. Those devs are all gone(or mostly gone). NCsoft is dictating new terms and alot of stuff that wasn’t on the table now is. New races are a possibility, but not this time round obviously. The charr model is close to the Tengu model. Fitting skins isn’t that big of a problem with this race, though it will take work, but hey Mounts happened so can this. I’m sure there’d be a team soley dedicated to this if they decided the time was right. Never say never, they are always creating new lore, i’m sure it will happen eventually.

gw1 came close to adding mounts. they thought about it. even designed raptor ones, but decided to go in other directions b4 launch.

just noticed under style>armor skins (on the 9 picture preview)… the exo suit combo pack, 3 gliders & a back pack, are listed, but these they aren’t armor skins. A little confusing.

Healix.5819:

The trick with AFKing is that the more people do it, the more they get used to doing it and the more likely they’ll be to resort to actual botting. Why not just join the toxic spore farmers and make ~1g/hour per character?

Well, there is a Gm Silpale whispering ppl – Hello are you there ? I answered because I was there, collecting spores for my wvw food, and I asked him/her is it not allowed to stay at the node and wait for it to respawn , got the reply
" I am unable to answer questions directly. There is a post by Chris Cleary that provides more information. I am sorry but."

Whatever that last part meant. So, we had necros farming anything and everything for months, being completely afk from computer for hours, because the game designers made it possible by making the gs skill 4 auto attack. We had the engineers farm, which is in my book not afk because you have to refresh the turrets every 5 min. That is no way afk but the community was outraged , those people are making money ! One Samarog cm is being sold for 3900 ectos / read three thousand and nine hundred / but that is not a problem, engis bored to death by clicking turrets all day long is a big deal. Ok, that was fixed.
And now there is a gm going around banning ppl who are just standing at the toxic spore node, waiting for it to spawn ?? If I log out, the map changes. If I do not log out I have to stare to the screen for 10 minutes in case a gm whispers me before a ban ? There were a few ppl standing there as well, I guess waiting just like me. And they all disappeared.
Read the post from Chris and it does not mention anything about standing afk at a node waiting to harvest. Using macros, yes, using skills and minions that kills mobs around you while you are not at the computer, yes , I get that. But waiting for a node to respawn and not being there in the meantime is not a bannable offence. Was not.
So why is the GM doing it ? Especially one that is not able to answer questions.
Is she/he a bot ? Should I report it ?

Would be oh so nice if a dev could explain will I get banned if I park my character in Kessex Hills and farm a node now and then while waiting 2h in a que for wvw . Pretty please, would love to know.

AFK means Away from Keyboard. Literally. If you get up to go to bath room, that is away from keyboard. Unless you take yer laptop into bathroom (which is nasty) and are wiping yer kitten when a dev whispers you, but again yer already nasty so you probably would reply, so that shouldn’t be an issue.

if yer at the keyboard watching the screen…(not a movie/tv, missing whispers) then u aint afk. but if u reapply turrents every 5 mins (which takes like 4seconds) then go do something else AWAY FROM KEYBOARD. then you ARE afk for 4m56s.

Well when developers say “exploiting” is a players problem and NOT A DESIGN problem, ya get… what ya get.

LB is gunna be one of the last ones along with GS (cause those are cool). There are still many other crappy ones to do before them and they probably won’t all come out b4 the next xpansion seeing as how 1 is dropped every 2-3 months.

and please anet don’t make any other horrible “birthday cake” legendaries like that torch

Sarah.8354:

Remove the adventure from collection. Is impossible complete specialization collection. Create collection dedicated to adventure e remove from other collection.

If it were impossible then nobody would have completed them.

Adventures only require you to get bronze which is doable for all of them.

doable does not means its easy. Some of them are doable but super hard. I have yet to get bronze on rifle or that golem one. but i’ve given up after hours of trying and don’t care too much. Just when others be like : “dis Ez”… kinda annoys me

nosleepdemon.1368:

You’re the one making it into the job, not anybody else. It’s not supposed to be easy to get. If you aren’t having fun then why exactly are you doing it? If you enjoy wvw then who cares about a cosmetic reward? You’ll get it eventually.

people do it cause the back pack is pretty and awesome! the grind just sux bad, like usual.
I hate pvp, but i do it for the ez gold!

oh and p.s. i loved the swimming beneath the lobby area when my glider failed. Is there another way to get there?

Is that platform too small? Maybe it should be a bit bigger & more spread out. All the sparring npcs are really close to each other, much closer then the old way. And the engineer NPC got knocked off the platform(cause its so small) I’m waiting for when its my turn to be knocked off to my death. Now you can aggro 4 at once(which is kinda cool) but may not be as fun for everyone. IF you’re wanting to test out your skills against 1 npc good luck. The NPC’s now tag team you together and they will stomp you if you get downed

I’d like to see a gold chain necklace added to the gem store. You know like a 1980’s heavily looped or multi looped chain necklace, lots of bling that would replace the shoulders on a toon. The toon i cosplayed is desperately seeking something to go with his style.

Or design a new shoulder replacement chain necklace for halloween maybe?

Thanks anet

How about 5 of the BEST maps!

1 Draconis Mons – Absoultely the best map since HoT release. Wonderful multi-level map(better designed then TD), each area has its own environment to explore with events going on constantly, plus you get to be Spiderman, come on! The circular nature allows you to explore each area as you climb up while still getting a sense of a flat map, but its high & vertical allowing for more fun things to happen.

2 Tangled Depths – is an explorer’s map. If you love explorations this is the map for you! (Sure it can be confusing at first, only if u really hate mazes,) but after you put in some time into map completion you begin to see why it’s called tangled depths and the beauty of exploring all of it really comes to life. It really feels like you are immersed in your own little world. Btw… there are more than just the 3 levels and fun loot chests hidden throughout. The more massive a map, the better i say!

3 Bitterfrost – who doesn’t love the back country, deep woods, snow environment! (winter my favorite season) Has a nice reward loot farm event with the icecovered chests and easy to farm winterberries and unbound magics! Some of the best trees in the game are here Now only if Anet allowed you to craft them with scribing for our guild halls!

4 Desert Borderland Map – Has multiple ways to go to one spot, huge cliffs to suicide off of or survive by knowing your environment. (If you like exploration then you’ve explored the map and know how to navigate and not kill yourself.) Shrines add small advantages for players. When all 3 shrines tied to a keep are captured, players can travel faster between the 3 shrines by interacting with objects that will launch them in the air to the other shrines. (fun effect!) Great map for roamers!

• The map would have been even better with gliding. It seems like the map was designed for gliding until they couldn’t resolve an issue and eliminated gliding all together. Just throw up invisible walls around the OUTSIDE of keeps and AREAS you want to keep players out or rather allow gliding in certain areas, but let them glide off those big cliffs please anet Air to air combat happens in bloodfen with npcs, player to player air combat…ooh fun!

5 Blood Fen – lots of action & events going on. Easy to farm flax and elderwood as you do events. Much different map environment than anything before it! The whole map is here for your enjoyment. You can glide around and attack things from the air! Ley-lines and magic rifts allow you quick and easy access to different parts of the map. Want to get to the justicar fight quick? No problemo! The map is certainly dynamic and have wonderful mid-air aoes to avoid (popping in and out randomly) making your glide time more fun to navigate (so you can’t just afk your way to glory, you actually have to be present). The enemies are harder then vanilla maps which is a good thing and keeps you on your toes.

• What makes this one of the best maps are the rewards. The best OP ring and amulet in the game are here in bloodfen. Which even after you complete all the chieves people still come back to get these rewards which helps keep this map active and not dead like other ones

My whole issue is with bags. Not having an “Exotic and Above” bag for my mixed weapon sets. I started with exotic, have since collected ascendeds and legendaries. But i can’t find a way to only slot “exotic and above weapons” into equipment bags. legendaries don’t seem to work, which would make sense, but some ascendeds do!

I’m beginning to think maybe there is something wrong with the coding for “Rodgort” the legendary off hand torch(the only weapon i have a problem with). Now, i don’t have another off hand legendary to test this theory, but when i have the [20 slot exotic fractal equipment bag]at the bottom(differenet from pic), i find that when switching weapons my ascended offhand focus goes into the exotic equipment bag fine, but the Legendary torch never does.
I’ve packed my bags to be completely full when i’m equipping a GS and Staff, and when i switch out the [staff] for [scepter/torch] one slot at the bottom opens up. Then when i re-equip the staff, the scepter trades places fine but the torch won’t EVER go into that open slot.
With the current set up(pic provided) looted equipment will go into that open slot and diverts anything else to next open slot. Which is highly annoying when you have fractions of a second to switch out weapons when you’re ooc in a dungeon run, and the weapon isn’t there. Then you might be caught with just a scepter and no offhand, this has happened to me before.

Notice when ever i’m switching out weapons i click on the main hand one to switch.
So regardless the say “Legendary Scepter” will always switch with w/e else is in that spot. It’s only the off hand legendary torch that never goes in the fractal exotic equipments box, but the ascended offhand focus does.

I’ve tried to be as clear as i can for describing my problem.
ANET please fix Rodgort to allow for this.

P.S. Some might wonder “Wtf? Why you carrying so much stuff?” Yep, i’m a hoarder and this is my main

I’m beginning to think maybe there is something wrong with the coding for “Rodgort” the legendary off hand torch. Now i don’t have another off hand legendary to test this theory, but when i switch the [plain equipment box] with the [20 slot exotic fractal bag] to the bottom, i find that my ascended off hand focus goes into the exotic bag fine, but the Legendary torch never does.
Notice when ever i’m switching out weapons i’m click on the main hand one to switch.
So regardless the say “Scepter” will always switch with w/e 2H. It’s only the off hand legendary torch that never goes in the fractal exotic box, but the ascended offhand focus does.
hmmmm ANET please fix Rodgort to allow this.
I guess i gotta make a comment in the bugs section

ShiningSquirrel.3751:

While wondering around the world recently, I came upon an NPC who needed help.
As I was passing by, I thought to myself, “should I lend a hand”?

Would it be “fun”? not really but maybe mildly amusing and a time waster.
Could I use the EXP? nope. EXP is pretty much worthless.
Could I use the karma? nope, not really any use for it.
Any good drops? again, nope.
Gold? nope.

So I continued on my way and let the monsters eat him. (I know, I’m a terrible person) ;-)

“wandering” not wondering.

These things are for noobs to level up and gain xp.
So yes, XP is helpful
and yes Karma is helpful too, obviously. (i blew 600k karma in a 1-2weeks, i need some more.)
good drop, of course not. It should be obvious from super hard JP end chest.

After chieve completement, still isn’t much of a reason to return to maps that often. Wish there was a world boss that roamed around the new maps, from map to map bloodfen, ember, bitter, doric, draconic – gave you more reasons to return to those maps.

Or some kind of mob that roamed mutiple maps so you have to go hunting.

fun idea

i did find it funny the other day went there played a bit in the morning and logged out, when i logged back in couple hours later- it was still going strong. Logged out again until late night and came back the party was still happening. lol

true its not the good leather farm its for bags which has leather loot and other crap. I find there are better ways to make gold and collect leather then this.

Ardid.7203:

There should be gliding, jumping mushrooms and all the other masteries in WvW. It is a shame and IMO, a big part of its downfall, that the new map didn’t have gliding at all.

Yeah, the new desert map looked like it was designed for gliding! I was so exicted. then i tried to glide and was like WTF!?! i was so dissapointed.

Too bad they can’t figure out a way to code for “no players allowed to glide over walls”, but still allow for shooting, attacking and targeting over walls.

The way i currently have it set up works pretty good when i have 2, 2H weapons equipped. No slots at the bottom are open. but when i switch to dual 1H weapons a slot opens up. If i loot any white or blue equipment it goes into that available slot. Then when i switch back to dual 2H weapons my 1H scepter or torch goes into the next avail slot outside of that bag.

It’s highly annoying to open your bag & have to manually switch this around so i can find it easily when your constantly in combat and only have fractions of a sec to switch when your ooc when running dungeons.

*and as mentioned above if i use the 20 slot exotic fractal equipment box in the last bag position my ascended and Legendary gear won’t be put in that bag. For this reason I really need an “Exotic and Above equipment bag” or allow ascended and Legendaries to be auto directed to the exotic bags.

like said above “exotic equip box” does not auto direct Ascended and Legendary weapons to this box. They’ll get put in the next free space outside of this box.

Here is an idea of my bag layout. I’m a bit of a hoarder on my main

I could go “top to bottom” instead, but that would put 20 spaces of the starter back pack above then my 6 rows of gear and stuff. then more empty spaces. This just seems worse imo, for organizing.

I wish there was a way for “Exotic and Above” gear to have their own bag.

It’s so annoying, trying to find a bag combination that will (bottom to top) put everything in the proper place.

If I just use plain equipment box for my main gear, when i’m killing mobs & auto-looting it puts white, blues, greens,yellows equipment “loot” in the box and fills the space for my weapons. Then when i switch weps since there’s no space, my main weapons get put in the top slots.
If i use exotic equip box Legendaries don’t go in the exotic equip box and i’m constantly shuffling them around to keep everything organized.

So when you go to click on a weapon and its not there you have to eyeball through your loot to find it. It’s annoying and time consuming when your on the go.

Why can’t Legendaries & Ascended be added to the exotic equipment boxes too.

or Add a new bag/box in the next Xpac that allows for “Exotic and Above” gear to be stored there first!

I find a lot of people start with full exotic gear and get there ascended or legendary weapons. Would make sense to have bags that reflect this playstyle.

edit: even with the fractal green and yellow equip boxes, blues and whites still clutter up the plain equip box.

edit edit: invisible bags won’t auto direct exotic thru legendary gear to that bag, you have to sort it manually, which is what i’m already doing and trying to avoid.

I wouldn’t mind buying an “infusion” from the gem store to equip to my inifnite tool that let me farm watchwork/snowflakes/magics for like 250 gems. and if i wanted to change it i’d have to buy an extractor and another infusion. Someone else mentioned this and its better then my pez dispenser idea. Sounds great to me!

Ayrilana.1396:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Mounts-merged/

Mounts are unnecessary with the maps that we have right now. There are waypoints, movement skills, and swiftness that players can take advantage of.

from a speculation reddit post ( don’t know how accurate they are) if Elona or new xpac maps are much more huuuge i can see mounts being a gemstore cash cow sorta thing. and all the minioholics would become mountoholics too, kinda like glideroholics. I’d say thought they should be perma swiftness just slightly faster then running, not a huge diff and be banned from PVP and WVW.

i like this. better then my pez dispenser idea

#1
I’d like to see a revamp to all the crafting professions.
Once maxing the trade being able to highlight/favorite recipes would go along way to being able to organize and quickly see which things are of importance to you. (Like those rare recipes that drop from dungeon runs.)
Having them all greyed out just looks like a mess.
While you can sort by rarity, i’d still like to be able to sort/highlight my “money makers” rather then having to use outside of the game sites to keep track of this.

#2
As for cooking I’ve noticed food items as well as other crafting items that drop from holiday /events bags are not worth crafting since they are soooooo plentiful from bags and become super cheap on the tp. The recipes to craft them make no sense and are way too expensive. (yes i know – market fun) …things like: Gift of Moon, Wintersday foods: Peppermint omnoberry bar, scoop of mintberry swirl icecream, or like halloweens spicy pumpkin cookies.

#3
I could see in next xpac adding farming to the game and really doing some fun things to make farming a valuable profession. New plants take X amount of time to grow(and that varies). Getting some RARE seeds to plant are rng from harvesting old plants.(once you get that seed you can for-go selling it, to dry it, and plant more..(but it takes a hella long time to grow those RARE ones.(idk.u brainstorm how that could work.) Having ascended jewelcrafting and cooking could in part come from new nodes/plants only available from farming. (imagine the TP economy fun).

What are the FOUR things you get?
There are only THREE Gathering tools : mining, harvesting, lumbering.
Yet it states FOUR things, FOUR bullet points when you scroll over the image???
*Unbound Magic logging pulse
*Unbound Magic mining beam
*Unbound Magic harvesting blast
*Unbound Magic magic gather
WHAT THE HECK IS MAGIC GATHER?

P.S. for people sad they got screwed over, why not use karma to buy fx tools and use those tools to load on your infinite tool.

Let’s pretend the infinite tool is a pez dispenser and the unbound magic/wintersdaysnowflakes tools are pez. If anet made it possible to load these tools bought with karma onto all previous lesser inifite tools (max capacity say 2000uses?) at least it would be something and would free up bag space.

As you use the tool if would burn thru the tools like normal and depending on how you load it, it could switch switch back n forth from magics to flakes. when those all get used up, you still have infinite normal uses.

Or this could be an ingame tool you buy for lots of karma instead.

Swagger.1459:

My suggestion is to change the current design into a handle that appears like a thick linked chain, or chains, with a hound of Balthazar for the head of the torch. Have the hound drool molten metal and have the footsteps molten metal as well. The arm of the user can change to a reflective molten metal effect.

Sounds cool but also sounds way too similar to Rodgort, the gen 1 Legendary Torch
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Rodgort

The current torch is ugly as hell i admit… But i wasn’t that surprised with the way legendary gen 2’s have been going. I thought at least those Acolytes on top would be moving, but doesn’t appear so.

Is this a new raid ? or a new guildhall?
I see an 80 sign way up there on the world map and wonder what it is?
Or is this a dev Oopsie?

and if guild hall how do you get to it?

ah well, don’t know what the problem was… didn’t have to restart the computer or anything. 5-10 mins later after trying multiple times and deciding to check the forums cause the problem wasn’t going away, i could log in. Weird seeing as the internet worked except for logging into the game. musta been a really long hiccup

I can’t seem to log into to any character is anyone else getting this problem right now? there a server issue? I can log into game as far as the character select screen , then when i click on any of my toons and load in from there it says internet connection error? My internet is working fine, i can surf the web and go to many sites? At first i thought it was toons in the new map area, but i also can’t log into LA or any other map, don’t understand what’s wrong?

plushiesoda.8150:

please stop talking about expansions, what if they listen to you?? haven’t you learn about what happened last time they released one?

This isn’t wow, this game doesn’t need expansions… sadly only pre HoT players would understand… sigh

Too bad they were already working on the next Xpac even b4 HoT was released, huh. They see it as a Money Train, and have planned for such in the future.

vesica tempestas.1563:

Housing like wildstar or better i would say where people showcase their custom house designs and don’t just buy house template x and fill it with junk you cannot interact with. Not sure if GW2 engine could cope with this.

Bad housing that is poorly configurable and doesn’t allow free form design is a waste of space imo.

i wish people would explain more what wildstar housing is? for those who haven’t played the game. I brainstorm bout ideas and know there are better ones out there, but with nothing specific to compare it to, understand and its not likely that i’m going to go out and play Black, Desert, Wildstar, Arch Age just to get and idea of housing, explanations would be helpful.

As far as showcasing their custom house designs we really need at least an instanced village. I can do a lot of amazing things with a home, but if no one is around to around to see it, what’s really the point.

It sure is something….

Seems unlocking Ancient magics masteries needed for Ep5 is stuck behind a pay wall? This a bug? I paid for HoT and installed it but am missing 2 Episodes and got 2 others without paying even though 1 of them had past. And in order to unlock any magics, i have to unlock all LS episodes not one at a time like it says from the Masteries tab.. (masteries tab>Heart of Maguuma>Ancient Magics…"Travel to Bloodstone Fen or Ember Bay to unlock)… Out of shadows 200gems/ Rising Flames 200gems. I can’t do Ember bay first because Bloodfen magics masteries “Counter Magic” need to be unlocked first before proceeding on……. So really its 400gems (should have been included with HoT) + do all LS episodes and their ancient magics mastery lines first before doing Ep5 which is all i really want to do in the first place.

It’d be really nice if we could just unlock the Ancient Magics Masteries by entering any LS3 map and able to do any mastery track we wanted, even if out of order, Especially since thermal tubes is the 1 Masteryline needed for ALL maps unlike the rest of the Ancient magic Masteries are map specific.

just finished getting Trib w1 z1,2,3 all done. Went to motto, no HARDCORE guitar boom boxes available.

Think you have to do both W1 all zones and W2 all zones for those guitar boxes to show up.

First tab only have normal 2 boomboxes available. and none of the other tabs have boomboxes.

Or maybe we have a sb melee weapon

Just the fact that Greatsword (traditionally a melee weapon) is a range weapon on mesmer, might it be fun to have a shortbow that could be a melee weapon instead?

Using the short bow (possibly) like a harp? but having a …
“mace like attack” (1h: smash your sb into the face of your opponent) (while sb is a 2H weapon, the art for the mace attack would show only 1h.)
“Greatsword like attack”, (2H: slashing attack)
“staff like block” (2H: blocking attack- possibly channeling?)
and
then maybe 2 other range ones? (more harp like, playing music)
>>>Plus since it’s a mesmer maybe the “art” has a pink like glowy mist around the sb making it more mace like or GS like or staff like during those attacks.

1. Mace like attack

chain.
Smash Your Foe upside the head with your sb
Damage: 400

chain.
Bash Your Foe in the face with your sb
Damage: 400

chain.
Cripple Your Foe
Cripple -50% speed
Damage: 1,000

2. Greatsword like attack

chain.
Slash your enemies with your sb using both hands
Damage: 3,000
Range: 130, hits 3 targets

chain.
Swing a second time dual hitting foes
Damage: (2x) 3,500
Range: 130, hits 3 targets

chain.
Final Devastating Strike
Damage: 9,000
Vulnerability (6s)
Range: 130, hits 3 targets

3. Staff like block

Channel a shield from your sb that blocks attacks.
If the shield is not destroyed, it explodes sending splinters into foes that bleed them and slows their attacks.
Bleed Damage 2,000
-50% speed of attacks (3s)

4. Range Attack

Bounce notes off your target between multiple foes
number of bounces: 3
Damage 400
range: 1,000

(this might have to be a more devastating attack with a longer cool down)

5. Range Attack

Sound Barrier: 0.5 sec cast, 12 sec cool down. Release a projectile of sound that damages and chills enemies it passes through. Shatter the projectile to teleport to it.
Damage: 403 (1.0)
Chill (3 sec)
Radius: 120
Range: 1200
Unblockable
3 (Sequence) – Speed of Sound: Shatter your sound barrier to teleport to its location and gain superspeed.
Superspeed (3 sec)
Range: 1200

Alurazle.5430:

I love the concept of a bard (musical) class that could use shortbow somehow because the legendary Dreamer looks like it was meant to be used on mesmer, but doesn’t seem like it would give mesmer anything that we don’t already have currently.

I like this idea. But maybe shortbow on a mesmer might play more like a Harp. Instead of projectile arrow attacks if gives support boons or Aoe attacks.

Or ignore the support boons and aoe attacks comment and instead…

It could be a close range melee weapon that when played, musical notes attack the target(think spirit weapons meets Revenant ghost hammer) and turn into axes, maces, and daggers attacks. (of course some obvious graphics animations would be needed.)

Would it be too much if equipping a shortbow you lose shatter skills and gain, axe, mace or dagger ones, kind of like elemental auras in the F keys. Then more variation to musical style and attacks could be applied, depending on which song you have up at the moment.

OR…

Maybe make a whole new class like this. Yeah BARD sounds right

edit: i see ther’s another thread that goes into depth on this:

Khailyn.6248:

While many things with guild hall materials are rediculously expensive such as various guild upgrades and its leather requirements. Decorating your hall is a choice. You didnt have to spend that much gold on a single decoration. Also you could have done research before hand via the wiki, dulfy or other sites to see the decoration beforehand and its (or lack of) effects. Likewise, your guild could have helped farm the seeds rather than buying them.
While a decoration preview in game would be great, its not their fault for you spending so much.

i can’t believe that you’re okay with how broken this system is.
Yeah you should never craft anything without looking on the wiki for pictures first(if you’re afraid of the gold sink). i did the exact same thing when scribing first came out and there wasn’t a picture of what i was crafting. If you thought a “pirate flag” would have a skull and cross bones on it… You’d be mistaken

yeah, its a choice to decorate, Like its a choice to make Legendaries (which i have many, because i like pretty things) but many of us scribes were looking forward to doing just that with the guild hall. It was part of the reason we all bought HoT. Assumption problem , maybe, but that bit about “Guild Hall content was supposed to take months and months to complete” in reference to upgrades makes sense, not decorating. I agree that “trivial things you shouldn’t make them so hard to achieve”. People were looking forward to decorating with regular decorations, but then found out everything was a gold sink, it just doesn’t make sense.

I’ll just necro this post it’s kinda the same topic, problems with scribe crafting…
I know I’ll get yelled at for necro’ing rather then creating a new, but people prolly will yell at me anyways cause it’s been said a million times b4

I seriously doubt anything is going to happen with scribing before another major update or Xpansion. Imo they know scribing is messed up in various ways and just decided rather to wait till they introduce the “new scribe stuff” in another xpack then to deal with it, then do something now?

First example, of some of the problems with scribing :
Why does a “Basic Tree” and “Potted Tree” have the exact same looks? Why not just use a basic tree for the bamboo potted recipe? i get they want to make it more complex, but have the tree look different. It’s super annoying to craft something to find out it looks the same as the cheaper model!!!

(not to mention there’s 4-5 lumber cores and only 2 trees u can craft with those. I want alpine tweeees waaaa)

2nd example (trust me there are tons more)
Rooster Staute :/ has the looks of the rare Rooster lantern and not the Exotic one with the colorful paints. Just seem like a whoopsy here, but it hasn’t been fixed so i assume , its all we are going to get.

Just a little bit more attention to detail on some of this stuff is what I hope you are doing with the next Xpack. Polish a billions times, this time before you even hint at its release. that’s my two cents thanks

or here are some other good ideas by wooden potatoes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1rtV0y7eZ4

btw…
Global cap, permissions and player ownership of objects, are then main problems with the idea of decorating and working together in the guildhall. Because of this there are lots of people that would prefer to have their own control over decorations resulting in basically personal housing. Being limited by a guild or not given permissions will make you not want to contribute, which is a huge problem in guilds.

Not everyone can have permissions because of the problems with global cap and player ownership of objects.

plus if for what ever reason u dump lots of gold into the guild and get kicked from a guild. you’re basically out all that gold vs still having your own home to decorate in with total control. Unless all your decorations come with you to your new guild, but it doesn’t work that way.

nuff said.

oh, god that font is horrible to look at

People demanded the Super Adventure Box become a recurring event. Since it takes place every April Fool’s, it’s now our spring festival.

it’s funny i wonder how they figured “People demanded” what basis did they count the number of people? If from these forums I’ve heard the same amount of people complain about many things: mystic coins, how bad HoT was on release, yet i see nothing done bout that. I suppose positive feed back about how wonderful you are is looked at more seriously then negative feed back about how f’ed up it is.

Someone mentioned on another forum (I bet this isn’t accurate) that prolly if u like the game you aren’t on the forums complaining about it. If that’s so then a smaller group of people would of been on the forums in the first place, to dump love on SAB. So i mean saying “People demanded”… what people?which people? how many people?

:D

I believe the feedback on HoT at release was addressed. It was what the April patch was mostly addressing.

Perhaps, the Devs listen to feedback, consider if it represents a majority if there is an opposing desire, and address it when possible. Some things the playerbase may want might have unwanted ramifications to the game, as the playerbase is not privy to all information.

Not to mention the SAB mega-thread that was on the front page of the forums forever full of people demanding its return.

like what was said , who goes to forums mostly….

It’s way too soon to hear about next Xpansion. Please don’t tell us until the xpack has been polished a billions times! I’d rather wait another years b4 i hear any specifics about it.

SAB is the easter/spring festival. not everything in real world gets a holiday festival ingame. it’s much more dependent on LORE and prolly GW1 then RL matters.

Why you necro this… Well guess i’ll have to post my own toon too

“Thee Power Ranger” (so i could be any color, but mostly as it turns out, i just rp as the pink one)

if ya introduce cowboy hats, please don’t elminate the facial hair when your wearing it like some hat. I need my macho man rp looks!

You can preview all dyes in-game by checking ‘show locked’ in the dye menu. So if anyone wanted to see how it compares to other black dyes they can do that before buying it.

Meh, I will never understand this obsession with black dyes, they are so boring.

It depends what you do with them. I agree it’s boring if you just dye your whole outfit black (and I say that as someone who often wears all black in real life), but if you use them with other dyes it can look really good.

People like it on Necros and people like it on Thieves. People like it on plate, they like to look like Batman
