Guild Wars 2

I was trying out the new raid wing and was surprised and confused when i heard my Male charr player character speak. Was the voice actor for him unavailable for this project or has he been recast? I’m guessing that maybe the voice over lines were maybe not recorded properly?
Its odd because the new dialogue that was added with the current events seems to sound exactly the same as it should ( and i love that you added situational dialogue by the way)

I hope you haven’t recast the voice actor because the male player charr voice is really good!

Hey everyone! I remember seeing this awesome Charr in the Living story season 2 episode Tangled paths during the return to camp resolve instance. I thought he was a really awesome character and even though i don’t think a lot of people would have taken much notice of him he had a really great personality and great conversations with Taimi! Would be great to see him make a return!

Hey Chris, thanks so much for all the posts and attention this thread is getting now! Really great to see some more Arenanet interaction with the players, its something that is really needed at the moment i think.

In the interests of transparency could you please explain why the atlas was removed from the website without anyone from Arenanet mentioning it? Also why do we get a lot of big changes not listed in the patch notes? Communicating things like these would really go a long way i think. People would really like to see why you make the choices you make with how you develop the game moving forward.

Hope you enjoyed your weekend!

Hey Colin thanks a lot for taking the time to post this!

I think doing something like this is a really great idea! I think it will give a lot of Guildwars 2 players information that they haven’t really been able to get for a long time about the game. It will also be very helpful to see some big issues/topics of the game explained and get some insight on how Guildwars 2 will grow in the future.

I think a lot of Guildwars players have been feeling a bit ignored lately and that a lot of what the want hasn’t really been listened too. There is also this feeling of what is happening for this game in the future? Where is the game going? Over the last 2 years we have seen a lot of big changes into how the game has been developing moving forward, for example having the extended experience team adding in events and mini dungeons for the october 2012 release, then 1 living world team with a month to make content ( see the dreaded sign repairing update) then 4 living world teams on rotation, now back to 1 big living world team again. I would love to see some sort of explanation as to why there have been such big changes into how the game is being developed, it would be super interesting!

I know this is asking A LOT, but I think gw2 fans would love to see say a video showing a few of the guildwars 2 teams we haven’t seen in a while and just general sorts of things they have worked on pre-launch of guildwars 2 and perhaps see them dropping tiny hints of what we might see in the future

I know you can’t go into detail with much of this, which I totally understand, but I think the gw2 community would just love a little picture or a just a tiny sneak peek of something big thats coming. Maybe just a blurry picture of something that could be used to make precursors, or a picture showing something that could be a tower in the distance which could hint and new wvw maps etc etc…

Would love to see what your thought are on all this Colin, all in all I love that the CDI is coming back and I think this is a really great idea and would love to see some more communication with you guys!

One of my guildies is in the military, and she moves around alot, and has never had a problem getting authentication email. She recently moved to south korea, and tried to log into guild wars 2, and hasn’t received an authentication email. This makes it impossible for her to log into guild wars 2. She sent a support ticket it in, giving her serial number, and got a quite rude response back. She sent another support ticket in explaining her situation, and trying to get a better resolution. Is there anything you can do for her? Here are the two ticket numbers.

1st ticket: 724642 here is the response she was given.

Hello C******

Thank you for contacting the Guild Wars 2 Support Team.

After researching the provided information, we will not be able to assist you with accessing this account.
Regards,

Polly.

After that response she sent in a different ticket that number is 727653.

I absolutely love the direction this story is taking! It is very exciting! As an ex gw1 player I am really hoping that you tie back to some things that have already been established in gw1 lore. The amount of things you can draw from is incredible! Also is Belinda and Taimi voiced by the same voice actor? They sounds very similar and while I really like Belinda’s character I am really not a big fan of her voice. Big thanks to the whole dev team and i am excited to see whats next!

I actually cannot believe that these fractals issues have been ignored for such a long time I hope we get some sort of response….

Such a great post! I really agree with a lot of what you said here, and the way you wrote it up and expressed it all was really awesome! Thank you so much for the time you put into making this! I really hope your suggestions are looked at by some of the dev’s!

Hi there,

Are there any plans to add more PC voice lines? I know its a lot of resources but the story of the game is meant to revolve a lot around the PC and we never say anything Also is there any chance that there will be more racial character interaction? Like my charr and my warband i made during the personal story doing some sort of story mission or something? thanks!

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Many-Questions-so-Dev/first#post3397272

I am asking when this Questions and answer type initiative is going to start. I don’
t know how you got “when is the game coming out” from that

I am really looking forward to this starting does anybody know when it will start? And one of my questions is this:

Is the development team considering adding new giant meta event chains into the game with rewarding/exclusive loot drops? Also are you guys considering increasing event completion rewards and/or changing rewards based on difficulty/length of an event?

When playing my male charr guardian and I use the shout “hold the line” my character never actually says it, I’ve noticed other races do when using this skill but charrs do not. Other skills like “save yourselves” and Retreat" work fine

Hey all I love this thread and the idea of collaborative development, its really nice to know that the dev’s are listening to us.

One of the problems I have with the Living world and the updates we have been getting is that I feel like you haven’t added much playable content to the game at all. We have had a lot of nice reward and rank updates, like with the achievement point chests and the champ boxes and the wvw ranks but i feel like we haven’t gotten much in the way of playable content. we have seen a lot of balancing and changing existing content. The only permanent new playable content we have gotten is Southsun cove, fractals, the new TA path and the new fractals coming soon and zephyr sanctum? oh and guild missions which i love. I’m sure there are others but i can’t remember off the top of my head

A lot of the content added to the game is new gemstore stuff and trivial living story stuff like fetch quests like we saw in boss week or running round hitting pinatas or carving candy corn. I want to see some more really solid content like what we saw in October and November of last year. In october of 2012 you had the Halloween patch which had new events a new mini dungeon on top of the awesome Halloween stuff, in November you had a new zone southsun ( which I didn’t really like but its still a large amount of content) and the fractals of the mists. then the next few months it was a lot of fetch quests and run here then go there until we got the AWESOME molten alliance facility. then pretty much the rest of the year has been festivals with running around zones trying to find presents or heirlooms or scales. I would love to see a lot of new permanent content like new zones, dungeons more boss fights in addition to these nice new features like the lfg tool and rank updates.

I would love to see a lot more permanent exciting content added to the game, not temporary fetch quests or little temporary farm zones. I want to see new zones new dungeons and new exciting cohesive storylines, not little pieces of story like we have seen in the last few patches, where we have to piece together little pieces of what scarlet has done over many months to find out whats going on.

I hope this adds to the discussion and helps out I’m not used to posting on the forums. I really love GW2 and I hope this doesn’t come off to nasty.

P.S I wanna see a really evil non-comical serious villain in addition to scarlet. One of those villains that make people really hate him/her and want to kill him/her! but in a good way even better if its a charr XD

Hey there,

The Zhaitaffy merchant in Lions Arch has disappeared with the new update and I have 2000+ Zhaitaffy I was going to cash in. Are there any plans to bring this merchant back for a limited time? Don’t the merchants usually stay in the area for a few weeks after the content has been removed like wintersday? Any Info if this merchant will return?

Hey there

So I was running Aetherblade retreat ( after the latest update that happened that fixed some bugs) and Inspector ellen kiel became stuck near the end of the dungeon. We were up to the jumping platform part of the dungeon where you would stand on those springs and they would launch you up to higher platforms. Our whole group got to the top of these, opened the gate for ellen then proceeded down the hill and cleared out the Inquest there. Ellen ran in and became stuck near the entrance to that area and nothing we did could get her to move. We tried running all the way back to the entrance to the boss area but that didn’t work. I wonder if it occured because all of us did the jumping puzzle part and none of us stayed down the bottom with her while the gate was being opened? Hopefully this is enough detail to help you guys out, ask away if you need to know anything else.

Hi there! Skip to about 1:45 of this video to see Colin Johanson mention the Elder Jungle Dragon when asked about what dragon the GW2 team may use for a future expansion.

I am curious was this a error or an accidental reveal? Or was it on purpose?! haha. would be cool to hear your opinions!

Hi there So I was guesting in sea of sorrows with some friends and I saw a guild advertising a guild bounty run. So I joined up with the guild, made sure i was representing and then set off with a giant zerg to vanquish the bosses ( i was representing before they started the bounty)! Now I was there when we tracked down both bosses and got hits on both of them. I got credit for completing the event but no credit whatsoever for the guild missions. My home world isn’t sea of sorrows, is that why I didn’t get credit? or is this a bug? I can’t think of anything I missed. any help would be appreciated

Iures.2894:

I don’t think he was framing it as part of a complaint about legendaries, just adding that part in to give context. >_>

I’ve actually wondered the same thing for a while now. Why is it that ore -> ingot takes so much longer than ingot -> anything else. . .

Yeah I don’t get it either, you’d think it’d be the other way round. like making dowels or weapons would take the longest, not refining ore into ingots.

wow some of you guys are quick to jump the gun. I wasn’t using this post to complain about precursors or anything like that. I was giving an example of how refining ore into ingots takes a lot longer than it should, and was using making mithril ore into ingots for a precursors ( as you have to make a lot of ingots so it takes a lot of time) as an example of how it can take a long time.

So I’m trying to make dusk, and that takes A LOT of mithril ingots. why is it that turning mithril ore into ingots, takes longer than anything else? Its annoying as I’m making thousands of ingots and they take the longest time to make per ingot than anything else?.I can make for example, 40 mithril plated dowels a lot faster than 40 mithril ingots. I make a lot more mithril ingots than anything else and they take longer per item than anything else. Why is this?

They are a massive problem, there are a lot of very annoyed hardcore/ semi – hardcore players out there at this issue. It seems like anet don’t even talk about this issue anymore, seems almost like taboo for them to talk about it. Its so frustrating

Gene Rojo.4207:

The reason for this is not to over populate people wearing Legendaries. If that would be the case then the Legendary will not be so legendary anymore. I got my Dawn in Ta Chest and Colossus out of Cof P1. The precursors come to those who least expect it. Think about WvW when all people wearing Twilight or Sunrise. LOL. There’s a reason why it’s so hard to achieve.

Hope that helps Cheers!

YOU GOT A PRECURSOR OUT OF COF PATH 1 CHEST?! omg I didn’t know you could xD

Yeah I’m in the same boat as a lot of people, I have everything I need for twilight except dusk. getting a legendary should be down to hard work and difficult tasks, not hoping you get stupidly lucky. And I want to do other stuff in game but everytime I play a new toon or whatever I just keep thinking about getting dusk and switch back to my twilight hungry guardian I just think this precursor business has blown way out of control and its just so frustrating as I’ve spent so many hours trying to get twilight ( and not doing heaps of other stuff) and I still haven’t got it.

Dusk is now up to 700 gold, making it even harder to buy ( not that i could have afforded it at 500 gold anyway). So the only way to get it is to be insanely rich or to be very very lucky with time and money sucking RNG. I know the topic of dusk and other precursors has been discussed to death, but I think something needs to be done soon about precursors. there are a lot of annoyed players out there ( like me) who play this game a lot and still don’t have their precursor that they want. I know the scavenger hunt is coming….(sometime) but it would be nice to get some sort of reassurance from anet that a way to get precursors ( that doesn’t involve the 2 ways I’ve already mentioned) is fast approaching, and isn’t going to turn up 6 months or even more away. I love GW2 but I’m getting less and less motivated to play. In guildwars 1 and in other games I love working towards achievements and items, even hard to get ones. But a precursor just seems so impossible after so many greatswords chucked into the mystic toilet.

ehhh sorry for the rant, just wanted to say something

Ok found a fix…kinda
Now I did the daily achievements OTHER people had and it gave me my dailies. so revive 15 dead people and kill 13 enemies for daily kill variety and you should get your dailies. Post here if it works!

Hi there, for my dailies I got " Daily veteran kills" I have killed well over 10 veterans and I havent got a single point of credit towards it. Is anyone else having this issue?

The only thing that anet have even mentioned changing about legendary weapons is the way to get the legendary precursor ( e.g dusk , dawn) they haven’t ever mentioned (as far as i know ) changes to anything else.

And yes they have mentioned they will increase the stats of legendary weapons to match those of the ascended weapons when they are released. which is awesome!

Hi there!
I’m sure you guys have had a lot of complaints and discussion about precursor’s and all that but I would just love to have an ETA of when we can be expecting the scavenger hunt? I definitely don’t want you guys to rush it in any way, as it is very important that it’s done right even if its just ‘not in the feb update’. any info at all would be awesome

and happy new year to all you awesome devs!

I would also LOVE to know when this is being implemented. I have been trying to get dusk for a long time ( I’m sure others have spent countless amounts of gold and time trying to get it). I love GW2 and this is the first time in the 500 or so hours I have played where I don’t want to play anymore. All I’m doing is farming gold/mats for a while and then crafting greatswords, chucking them into the forge and getting squat. I think its ridiculous. I know I could always give up and do something else but all I need for twilight is dusk, I’ve done everything else. an ETA would be great, so i could maybe do something else for a while…

dang that’s disappointing I’ll keep anymore i get…you never knoooowwwww. thanks for replying everyone

was happy to see my nameo n the list! im so jelly! XD

Hey wasn’t sure where to post this, but since I’ve only gotten bags of gold from cof i thought i might as well post here can bags of gold ACTUALLY drop gold or anything more than a few measly copper? Or are they there for some future update? Or are the just troll bags? Just curious about them, they’re so rare.

Hope I’m not too late! good luck everyone
