Guild Wars 2

I totally agree with all the points listed above, aside from the companion thing.

That would be hard to work into the current system, at least in the detailed manner required to make it interesting.

Edit: OP deleted their post.

The dungeon problem is simple. They made the mistake of tying the Story paths of each dungeon to Destiny’s Edge and can’t afford/won’t budget those voice actors any more.

The introduction of DE-Lite in the Living Story is testament to this. It’s a very, very safe bet that we’ll never see new content featuring the voices of Logan, Eir, Rytlock, Caithe and Zojja again.

It’s the balloon outside Vigil Keep.

im not wondering if its cause theres to many people trying to download at one time

It’s been happening for me for over 24 hours.

MakeYouMad.5301:

I found this solution to be a…temporary workaround (wtf arena net…). Thank you slemnd.7986 for the solution:

Yeah, nice try. I’m not giving my network over to a “free VPN”.

Does anyone have a legitimate solution? I’m not modifying my personal network to play one game when there’s a dozen other games I can play that actually work.

They do, but they aren’t very experienced or well-versed in the ways of the world. They only posses an amalgamation of thoughts and memories from other sylvari before them.

Imagine creating a Sylvari player character. Coming out of the dream sequence of the tutorial, and immediately adopting a kid.

Doesn’t seem too plausible.

Look at the current first-born Sylvari in the game. Trahearne, Caithe, etc. Their level of maturity and experience seem to be at the point where they would just be having children now. Or maybe have children that are at most maybe 10 years old. Not raising one over the past 25 years.

OmaiGodman.2098:

Why has nobody asked the OP where he got the idea that when the megaserver gets implemented, you can’t use waypoints anymore? Or did I just miss something while reading the blog entries?

Nope. That doesn’t happen at all.

Waypoint functionality is not affected.

Pretty sure the pants are from a Gem Store set. Not at my home PC right now to check.

It’s vigil medium, I have those pants myself

Totally meant boots, not pants. I have those pants on all 3 medium classes.

Pretty sure the pants are from a Gem Store set. Not at my home PC right now to check.

/agree

I wouldn’t mind if it was replaced with clearing each dungeon path, as they are part of the main world and should count for it’s exploration.

I personally love WvW, but I agree that forcing players who do not want to be there is no good for anybody. No matter how much Anet is trying to sell it.

Reduced to 100 Unidentified Dyes instead of 250.

Seriously?

There are a lot more armor sets to choose from that provide full coverage than there are “sexy” armor sets.

Examples:

Almost every dungeon set except Light TA and Light CoE.
Almost all human cultural except T3 Medium and Light.
Every crafted medium set.
Every crafted heavy set except Barbaric
Every crafted light set except Feathered, Winged and Masquerade, (Emboridered is debatable)
Every Priory Set
Every Ascended Set
Every Exotic Karma Set
Every Gem Set except Profane, Krytan, Flamekissed and Zodiac (debatable since it’s technically covered by “blue space”).

We need new classes instead of new races. Anything besides human has already been a waste of time and resources.

AHH no. I really do enjoy the Sylvari and Charr. Their PS are pretty decent. Many in my guild really enjoy playing Asurans . Please don’t speak for the masses.

Ok, I’ll just let Anet do that…

All my gear is meticulously sorted in my inventory, even without an equipment specific bag.

I place food, salvage kits, repair canisters, bank access etc at the very bottom, followed by two rows of armor, sorted alphabetically by prefix, and finish with one row of weapons sorted by frequency of use.

Giving everything you use daily a specific spot in the inventory will really help. Especially at the bottom. Anything picked up along the way goes allll the way to the top so there’s quite a bit of separation.

Dude.

They are telling you to post your questions in those threads. Not go to them for answers.

They want all questions regarding the changes to be condensed into a single thread that they can ignore.

This thread will probably be closed too.

I’m guessing the MegaServer system throws a huge wrench into this guide, since you’ll lose the whole aspect of guesting to the best servers for events.

No one asked what the hell a BLSK is?

Slayer.4238:

my characters with last names are
Sariem Bladesbane and Dlae Shadestriker
I know that first one is not a usual human name but I rp it as a name given by my adoptive slyvari father

Your adoptive Sylvari father?

You are aware that all Sylvari are, at max, 25 years old right now in the time line?

The first Sylvari were born in the year 1302, in game time is currently the year 1327.

Rainbow Sprint.3215:

Unless they changed something, yes it is. I know you would think it’s based on people in the world in total because it’s called population.

Populations are based on Accounts that call that server home. This has not changed since day 1. Each server has a finite about of space for accounts to be housed.

Example, a server might have 25,000 slots reserved for accounts. If the server is listed as “full”, that means 25,000 slots are filled from accounts listing that server as your main, or from people who managed to transfer in to call that server their main.

The only time a “full” server has space for new accounts is if 1) the server cap is increased on Anet’s end or 2) someone transfers off.

Absolutely incorrect.

Per the official wiki: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/World

“You cannot move to a world that is listed as Full. However, that status varies throughout the day and tends to drop during off-peak hours, i.e. if you are unable to transfer, try again when there are fewer people playing, e.g. early in the morning (server time) or during the work week.”

I have personally transferred to and from Jade Quarry four times using this method.

Incorrect, there is no official wiki, that is player made and currently wrong.

The devs have stated multiple times that the population is based on the number of accounts on the server not the active population. That is why every server reads as “very high” or “full” even though only the top 6 servers have any people at all on them.

Unless you are suggesting that the lowest tier server that reads “very high” and has an active population of about ~50 people is the same as TC which also reads very high and has a population of tens of thousands.

If the server has “reserved seats” and someone must transfer off to make room…..

Why do we have overflows?

Oh, because your “reserved seat” is full. It was filled when you weren’t online. Sorry buddy.

The servers are channels, just like GW1. Hence the ease of guesting. There are no reservations. If there were reservations, you would never see an overflow.

Your “home” server only affects two things:

• Where you end up by default when you login, if your “seat” isn’t taken
• Which other servers you are allowed to beat the crap out of

Other than that, they are WvW designations and nothing more. You can go anywhere, granted there’s room, at any time.

FYI, the two SAB releases were only 5 months apart.

It has been 7 months since the last SAB release.

There is no 6 month pattern to speculate on.

Scores show you’re 3rd best.

Incorrect.

Even if we bomb out this week, we will still be 15.1 points ahead of TC (#2) in total rating.

Merge fail.

The mods merged the bobble head threads, plus threads including feedback for the new Sigils.

Way to go.

Only read the first dozen or so until I realized you just want the game to use the mouse and keyboard correctly for you.

Read the Code of Conduct and Terms of Use. It is explicitly stated that guilds with offensive names or tags will be deleted outright. They do not have they ability to change guild names.

The player who created the guild will receive an email to their registered address detailing the outcome of the issue. No other guild members will receive the email, regardless of rank in the guild.

Musik.8509:

It’s so funny how they mutilated my characters, that I wish they would have at least given me the option to opt out…

This.

Terrorsquad.2349:

Hurts me eyes and head for searching that last PoI or Karma Heart symbol on the map.
What if you’re in the map, open the Map and see what you lack with a flickering light on it or something?
I just started doing Map Completion for the second time for 3rd and 4th Legendary but atm, I’m more spending time looking at Map searching those last little symbols then actually doing the Map Completion.

Any ideas?

What Inculpatus linked is the official wiki. It’s even linked at the top of this site.

What makes it even easier, is you can open it with a / command in the game, and even include exactly what you want to search for.

i.e. /wiki Queensdale

The above command will open up the page for Queensdale on the official wiki in your browser.

Devata.6589:

Also the cash-shop focus (what I complain so much about) is still very much visible but that will likely not change until Anet would decide to go for an expansions-based model in stead of cash-shop model.

This game is definitely not cash-shop focused. 90% of the items offered grant cosmetic appeal or convenience only. The only way to “buy power” is through boosts or Gem > Gold.

Check out Nexon games sometimes. Their cash shop includes tons of items that would be comparable to +9 Sword 300 Power 300 Precision 10% crit 300 Toughness 300 Vitality 300 Condition Damage : $59.99

That is a cash shop focus.

WTB a real LFG tool.

I guess this means we’ll still have every LFG listing for dungeons looking like “80only xp no rangers”

Small bit of utility updates for guilds and WvW are not “feature” worthy.

Fror.2163:

Romo.3709:

That information was available since the release of Leaderboards last year.

https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/na

It was only accessible through the site itself up until now, since they are making it it visible in game.

You’re kinda late with your “privacy” concerns.

Nope, I raised my voice against at that time as well.

Despite what your signature says, you obviously aren’t a very proud member of [VETO] if you don’t want your guild leader to know when you were last on contributing influence.

WTB a real LFG tool.

You have to discover them.

Meaning it needs to pop up in yellow “X place discovered!”

Which means it needs to be on a character that has never been in that jumping puzzle before.

If you are doing it on a character that has already discovered and completed the puzzle, you can’t get discover credit because that character already has the area revealed.

This daily achievement is pretty limited in that you can only complete it once for each location on each character. Eventually, over time, all of your characters will have discovered all of the jumping puzzles, and you will not be able to use this one for daily achievement progress.

Please,

Just ditch the “outfit slot” and let any individual piece go into it’s respective slot whether it was armor, town clothes or promotional.

I know you’re doing this so that people can still toggle to a different outfit during “downtime” without using transmutation charges, but that desire to change into these outfits will be gone when they can be used in combat.

They will go from “downtime” outfits to “all the time” outfits.

The desire to save us additional transmutations, while appreciated, is not required.

:)

Jabberwock.9014:

Sucks most for people with 2 incinerators etc. Always thought that was a dumb idea. Now I get 2 for 1.

No you don’t.

Those people with 2 incinerators get ascended level stats that can be switched out at any time on both weapons.

People skinning a legendary over an exotic do not.

Wanze.8410:

If you buy the 4 specific endless quaggan tonics, you pay 4g instead of 12g for the mystery quaggan tonic. Granted, the mystery tonic saves you 3 inventory slots but if you want only 1 specific transformation, you are better off buying a specific one.

Completely incorrect.

It takes ten of each colored tonic to make a mystery tonic. You would be paying 40g for an item that sells for 14g if you did it this way.

The market isn’t just up/down, it’s completely out of whack. Something that is worth 40x more than the other items (in composition cost) is selling for 30% of the overall total. A loss of 70% is huge even if it’s only 26g.

Exotic Unique sets do not fit this role.

Rangers, Engineers and Thieves can all use the ones you listed.

That’s not class-specific.

Want Dervish so bad.

And bring back monk. Doesn’t have to be a healer. I know Guardians provide it’s support role, but all them are built as shouting boon whores. Monks could provide some fun if done right.

FYI, the original dates listed for A New Way to Explore the Looks of Guild Wars 2 and A Colorful Outlook were originally listed as 24th of March (today).

The dates now display as 25th of March.

A “turrets gain X% of your toughness” trait would be nice.

Or vitality.

Wanze.8410:

The stupidity of people….

These people aren’t buying them to open them. They’re buying them to repeat the pattern you started.

cale.7380:

if you don’t like it just don’t buy it.

I did like it. That is why I bought it.

Now, I don’t like it. They changed the item that I bought after I purchased it.

I am now wary about ever buying a skin from the gem store again because a month later I could have something different than what I bought.

Why is that so hard to understand?

I paid cash money for something, now I do not have the same thing I was paid for. In no other marketplace in the world is this acceptable.

Why people just tell us who are upset about Zodiac changes is beyond me. You may be happy with not having the exact thing you paid for. It does not mean everyone else is.

Do not express your personal opinion over how others spent their money and simply tell them to “deal with it”. Spend yours how you like, but do not tell me how I should spend mine.

Xirus.9675:

I would, but I’m worried that the tentacle graphics might get removed 2 weeks from now.

They’re a little offensive to some people, after all – this game is rated “teen”, not “hentai”!

The changes to the Zodiac armor is why I will never buy skins from the gem store again.

I want what I paid for, not what Anet thinks I should have after the fact.

I think he means one he can place for players around him to use also.

I imagine that race-specific cultural sets are easier to make than crafted/karma/dungeon or the ones in the Gem store.

The latter have to to be tailored so that the look well and can be proportioned correctly for all 5 races with both genders and every body type in between.

Race-specific ones can be tailored to the specific race that can equip them, which allows the design to be more focused and gives more room for experimentation without having to take four more races into account.

Half of mine are specific references:
Luminaire
Darkwing
Dreamwalker
Cul Serre

The other half are specifically crafted to be a “last name”.
Starcrest
Dawnglow
Ebonwave
Brightchest

Directed towards the players out there who play music in real life:

Does the “delay” on using these things bug anybody else? When I go to hit a note, I have to wait for my character to make the animation to play the note, after pressing the key, before it actually comes out.

For musicians, timing is everything, and with the notes not coming out as soon as I hit the key, it kind of kills the ability to play music for me.

I’ve bought all 3 of the instruments in the shop, and have a hearty stash of choir bells, and all of them seem to be affected by this.

I’m sure that I could, over time, get used to the delay and be able to play songs normally. But for now it’s really frustrating trying to play these things and not be able to keep in time.

@Anet do you think we could ever get this instruments changed so they function more like “use” items (instant effect) and less like skills (effect happens at a set point in an animation). It would save the musicians out there a lot of hair loss.

Maybe I’m just really sad that I can whip out a Mariner’s Horn and start belting Simon’s Theme when we break into a castle in WvW without it sounding like a train wreck.

Additionally, you have to place the skin on an item before you can use a transmutation stone/crystal on it.

i.e. The skin functions as a transmutation stone/crystal itself on first use.

It has to be double clicked and bound to an item before a stone or crystal will work on it.

Incoming surge of refund requests.

Stop changing stuff after people buy it. I have 4 of these sets that I no longer want after you changed them.

Samsung doesn’t come to my house and modify my TV a month after I bought it, no matter if some features were unintended.

Just because you run a digital marketplace does not mean you can pork your customers on a kittening whim.
