Guild Wars 2

starlinvf.1358:

The Rev is based on the Ritualist as a class, but the Spell Breaker is supposed to be the Dervish surrogate. But if you really want to argue it….. the Reaper is actually as close to the Dervish in a mechanical sense as this game allows.

Actually, The Revenant is NOT based on the Ritualist. It’s successor is the Engineer, who is a modern-day twist on the Ritualist. Ritualists use the spirits of the dead to channel their powers. Engineers use turrets, as well as firearms.

Bards are essentially the same as Mesmers, only they would favor bows and arrows, since there no slings and bullets in the Guild Wars universe. Of course, they could always dual-wield pistols.

Hi there! I remember the Demo of PoF was supposedly ended as of yesterday, but I’m still able to create Demo characters. Is this a bug? Or is the Demo event still up and running, until the end of the PvP weekend event, later this upcoming weekend?

Does not work for me either.

Hey! I uninstalled today, and tried reinstalling, and I’m getting these same issues. Have had this issue since yesterday, AFTER the patch was released. I can’t run the program as an administrator, to install this game either, nor can I run it in compatibility mode either.

I like this idea…but it’s only fitting for Humans, Norn, and possibly Sylvari.

Greetings, my fellow Tyrians! First off, I’d like to pin-point that we really need some more new hairstyles released, in the near future. It literally feels like ages, since we got new hairstyles. In my opinion, Female Humans and Norns should share a lot of the same hairstyles. Sylvari are already unique, in the way they share their hairstyles across both genders, as well as Asura and Charr. Don’t get me wrong, but Norns have a lot of long hairstyles, whereas Humans do not. I would like to see a new long hairstyle for Female Humans, maybe two.

We already have TWO Melandru based outfits in the Gem Shop!

I agree with carrolltech on this idea!

Hello, my fellow Tyrians! I know there are a couple more threads asking for new hairstyles to come out. Hopefully these threads get MERGED into a massive thread. Anyways, I was wondering WHEN are WE, the players, getting new hairdos? Will ANY of the older exclusive hairdos be available in character creation, for players creating new characters? I would love to see and hear your feedback! If you come up with any ideas for new hairstyles, please post them here, as I would love to see them.

IF we go to Cantha, I would like Naga for a playable race. IF we got to Elona, I would like the Elonian Centaurs as a playable race. I would also like to see a re-implementation of the Scythe as a new weapon type, and for Mesmers to be able to dual-wield pistols.

Thank you! This helped a lot. Seems to be an unknown bug.

Hello! I am having connection issues with each AND every time I attempt to pursue the Human Noble Personal Story step, The Informant. It works fine, up until I have to destroy the centaur catapults. This is where my game loses connection each time. Is this my ISP, or is it a known bug?

I would LOVE it, if Female Norns, Humans, and Sylvari EACH had their OWN set of attack, and other animations.

IF AND ONLY IF….we ever get to Elona in the future….. I would like to be an Elonian Centuar, seeing they are, or were at peace with Humans. Look at the late MMORPG Shadowbane. They had Centaurs as a playable race. I’m sure a lot of people dislike bipedals as playable races, and want something different. GW2 can be that game that breaks the ice.

I would like to be a playable, Elonian Centuar, who WERE friendly, towards Humans. Alongside them, I would like NEW weapon types, such as whips, fit for Thieves, Mesmer, Warriors, Revenants, Necromancers, or ALL classes.

Sorry, Alga, my friend. ANet got rid of class trainers earlier last year, I believe. So, no one has screenshots, I presume.

@OP, I would like it, if Mesmers could dual-wield pistols, much like Thieves and Engineers. There’s no point in wielding an off-hand pistol, without a main-hand one.

I was thinking of having the Elite Luxon Ritualist armor as a Light Armor skin, the Elite Druid’s armor as a Medium Armor skin, and the Elite Gladiator’s armor as a Heavy Armor skin, or just have all original Guild Wars’ hairdos to make an appearance in-game, like what was done with the Female Norn’s Jora-style hair is in-game.

I really like your idea! You should be an employee, the one who brings up interesting ideas. lol

If you think none of the old maps are based on multiple layers, look at The Grove.

Hello! An idea that I have up my sleeve, would be to have some of the older exclusive hairstyles to be put into the character creation, and to have new hairstyles in the kits. If anyone can think of any particular hairstyles they’d want in the hairstyle kits/total makeover kits, please feel free to post on here.

I agree with new ways to customize your character, especially in the creation of a new character. If female Asura had earrings, it would make them stand out amongst their male counterparts. For female Charr, they are military-based, and thus resemble their male counterparts.

Actually…Druids are more related to Rangers, rather than Clerics. They are at one with Nature, similar to the Ranger. In fact, in AD&D scenarios, Rangers can cast Druidic spells, once they’ve reached a certain level. So, it makes perfect sense for a Ranger’s specialization to be Druid.

Hello! I noticed a long time ago, that the race subforums were put into the archives, and now we can’t see them anymore. I’ve noticed a lot of races being talked about in the General Discussion section of the forums. We could really use our most beloved Race’s section back up and running. What do all of you guys think?

I think Dervish would be better with Elementalists, if you think about the different attunements. Fire Magic would be for Balthazar; Water for Lyssa/Grenth; Air for Dwayna; and Earth for Melandru. Remember, in the original Guild Wars, there were only 5 Gods, up until the mortal Kormir became a Goddess. So, Kormir would play no role in the GW2 Dervish specialization, if there ever was one. Besides, a Dervish wears light armor, much like an Elementalist. Lorewise, a Dervish is the Elonian version of a Monk, so it makes sense for them to wear light armor.

I believe that with each expansion, that there should be new hairdos, hair colors, and faces, within the character creation screens, per race and gender. More hairdos, colors, and faces could be released in the Gem Store at a later time. This is NOT a suggestion, but a mere belief. Although, I do agree that it was quite odd that ANet didn’t release new hairdos/colors, nor faces with Heart of Thorns.

Drow.2081:

If they add another race it would have to be the Tengu. It’s already in their lore and there is evidence that it might have been in the workings once. Tengu is fine but it feels like just another animal race – just another Charr. I’m more likely to play an elfish race but actual elves wouldn’t be added because Guild Wars has their own lore and mobs. People would complain they were copying everyone else if they added elves. Still, if they added dark elves I would play them.

But what I would really like to see is merfolk. Reasoning – it’s not been done in any mmo other than Perfect World and that game… umm lacks. But with GW2 extensive underwater landscapes a mer would fit in well. Of course they would have to have landlegs when they exited the water but that’s okay.

Be nice if we could get some lovely long hairs for both male and fems with a class like mer folk. Also an option to make a few uglier mer folk for variety.

Merfolk are a race, not class. There are male and female models in-game, of the evil Krait, similar to both Naga and Merfolk. They’d be best at using water magic, as Elementalists.

Hmmmm…. What I would like to see from the Gem Store, is more of the original Guild Wars’ armor sets, but as outfits. I would like to see an Elite Kurzick armor set from the Mesmer class, and perhaps Elite Canthan from the Elementalist class.

I LOVE your idea! Also, with the outdated exclusive hairdos, I would have them be included in character creation. Leave the most recent ones be.

Unless, I did not see the attack animations a couple weeks ago, which is likely the cause. I don’t use an axe on my Necromancer, so I bought a cheap axe from a vendor, and I noticed the animation was different today.

That is odd. Only a select few of us see this change, and it’s still an autoattack animation, for those of us who are affected by this change in animations, such as Ferik and I. He and I JUST received a change, in the animations, as of today’s patch. Would this be a bug? Because it’s not broken for Ferik and I. We see a new animation, whereas you guys see the old animation, from about two years ago.

There was indeed a change today, in the Axe #1 skill for Necromancers. My account was affected by this change after the patch as well. Those of you who do not see a change, probably did not update your client.

I agree with Chyanne. There are MANY of us, including myself, who do NOT live in the Seattle, Washington area, who would LOVE to be a game-tester. I agree once more, with Chyanne, that this is NOT fair, for those of us who do NOT live in the immediate Seattle area. It doesn’t have to be a paid position; heck, I’d LOVE to volunteer as a game-tester.

Hmmmm…I have quite a few high levels, around level 80, give or take a few levels, and when the Restoration update went live, I did NOT receive the restoration for Chapters 7 and 8. The story skipped the entirety of “My Greatest Fear”, and onto “Forging the Pact”, and the “Battle of Fort Trinity”, in which I completed. Does it matter what level I am, before I choose “My Greatest Fear”, or is it just going to take me to “Forging The Pact”, no matter what my level is?

I prefer Outfits, since they cost less than Armor Skins. It’s as Miku states; Outfits are 700 gems, and Armor Skins are 800 gems. Outfits are free to apply, off and on the fly. Armor Skins, on the flip side, cost 1 Transmutation Charge per piece. Say you wanted to transmute your armor 12 times. 6 pieces of armor, multiplied by 12 times, equals 72 Transmutation Charges needed for the process.

I did not get an invite to the stress test, but I would love to congratulate all of you who did. I am a bit jealous, though, because I was planning out on testing the Revenant class, and submitting any bugs I found with it.

I would say that an active account, and one in good standing, should be required to test HoT.

/poing also does the same emote as /fistshake. I would like to see /doubletake, or /yawn.

Hurray! My real birthday is NEXT Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015! Thank you so much for the announcement, even though I missed it. I was out of town all day, and thank you for making a YouTube video of the expansion itself. Couldn’t have made my day any better, ANet!

I know, Weindrasi…. I am ultra kittened off because of it all. Believe me. Those threads should be up and running, as they are imperative to the game.

Hello! I was wondering why the playable races subsection were put into the archive section? Does that mean you can no longer post on them, or is it something else? I mean, the 5 playable races, should still have threads you can post on, instead of read-only. Looking for someone to shed some light on the topic, please.

Aidan Savage.2078:

Assassin -> Thief
Paragon -> Guardian
Monk -> Guardian
Ritualist -> Guardian

Most classes from GW1 are moot points because lore simply would not sustain their presence just like dwarves are practically never seen and never will be a playable race.

Actually, Ritualists got upgraded into the Engineer archtype, with the turrets acting as if they were a Ritualist’s spirits. Monk and Paragon got devoured by the Guardian.

My Norn Guardian’s name is Svanira Coldsteel. As her name implies, she is the only “Daughter of Svanir”.

8/10 for Tobias, and 9/10 for Elena. They are wonderful names!!!

My Human Female Elementalist (my main) is named Pocahantas the Sage, and my Human Female Mesmer is named Princess Tahlkora.

Who here would like it if we could play as Krait/Naga, or some kind of Merfolk race? I know I would! For jumping animations, they could coil themselves into a ball, then spring forward/upwards. Armor, have the regular torso, and make leggings and shoes wrap around the tail. Who here is all for this?

Hello everyone! I would like to say that with each new character, which we create, should be able to select any of the 3 new hairstyles (gender and race specific) from the character customization panel. I’m very disappointed in to as how the new hairstyles are Gem-shop-only hairdos. Really, I think that the new hairstyles should be un-lockable, once we reach a certain level in experience. The first new hairstyle should be un-lockable at level 20, the next one at 40, and the last one at 60. I’m not looking for likes or dislikes on this posts, but your opinions help a lot!

I say that the new hairstyles should be included in character creation, kind of like Aion Online.

Hello! I was wondering if all of you, my dear forum-readers, would like the idea of rested experienced mode. I know World of Warcraft has it, but I wasn’t meaning to have it to that extent, and perhaps instead of gaining 200% experience per kill, you would gain 100% per kill (50% from offline time, and 50% from Experience Boosts). Remember, this isn’t WoW, and we do have Experience Boosters, unlike the former, and the boosters could make up for the other 50% of experience gain.

I was thinking of mainhand Pistol for Mesmer, offhand Sword for Ranger and Thief, Rifles for Ranger.
