Guild Wars 2

oldmaster.3547:

Ps: Anet seriously I’ve never complained once in 5 years but are you kidding me? A giant rabbit and a flying fish but no horses???

I’m pretty sure there is a reason why GW2 has no horses and I guess it’s because of centaurs.

Basically, instead of this vine aura that interferes with model of character overall, make one of the following:
- foot aura in the same style as Herald’s, should be easily made and doesn’t require many variations, because one will really suffice.
- hand aura only, in shape of claws with 4 variations dependant on type of pet we fuse with, even one type of aura would suffice honestly.

In other words, I respect the work developer(s) put into aura for soulbeast but honestly speaking it’s not that great and needs a total rework.

I hope ANet atleast will give you some credit and small reward for pretty much using your concept. Otherwise, shame on them really.

Hitman.5829:

get out of here with your BS, is that true? if so, Anet just proved the whole world how much their developers love thieves. I am willing to bet that the guys that designs thief has a main.

You need to time and calculate it properly to pull off, the last hit from entire chain has to hit you when you are already downed and your “immune” status wears off OR when indeed your hp is so low that the last hit is enough to defeat you. It’s nowhere near BS though, because let’s be honest here, once you get downed, any class will finish you off easily, and if you are on low hp, any class can and probably will use daze, stun or other disable anyways to prevent you from healing up in last moment.

sorudo.9054:

they sunk it before charr could even get that far, kinda the problem here :s

In that case, something with gods and lupicus and whatever would make sense lore-wise, but the point is, to see Arah and Orr architecture before it all sunk.

The only thing I want to see actually is Orr and especially Arah in a fractal mode pre-sinking. Mission would be to protect city against Charr invasion.

It still it leaves 2 infusions totally undroppable then. And Mistward weapons.

The joke is that all you need to do is to go do Escort once, because this is failsafe “boss” encounter and you have your masteries done and dandy, provided you will have enough mastery points that is… I think that Raids give so much of them that without it you cannot progress far…

Personally majority of people I know crafted it for the reason of how backpiece looks and/or stat swapping ability. I know literally nobody (except you now) who liked old glider design, everyone were giving exactly the same feedback back then: it’s missing trail that even most basic gliders have and it looks too small to glide with. Everyone has own tastes, therefore I fully respect yours and must say that it’s a shame for you but nothing will be changed sadly.

In my opinion if they just reworked skins people are posting about like Eternity that is locked into only one time of the day, old and new versions of skins they reworked, it would be great indeed, in the end it’s just a matter of adding new skin that unlocks automatically because it’s triggered by the fact that you have your original old skin, pretty easy to code really.

But yeeee, to do things like that and have items that players truly love and are happy with… They would need to probably hire me hahaha. If it was my work I would easily sit on forums and reddit and whatnot and collect feedback and spread it to proper teams in company, probably a lot of it I would code myself aswell, it’s a job afterall.

Isn’t it time to finally fix droprate (enable it) for missing HoT maps meta event infusions? Chak Egg Sac is enabled and drops, but the remaining three still do not. Infusions I’m talking about:
Vial of Liquid Aurillium – item was found once (by apparently someone who hacked it in), which added it to API but it was never enabled as a drop.
Verdant Brink Thingy – we don’t know the name or effect but we know it’s there because devs said each map has one special infusion.
Leyline Chromatic Effect – the rainbow chromatic desynchronization effect that leylines have, we don’t know the exact name but we do know it’s appearance (in DS medium leyline armor user NPC has this aura on her and she is the only one who has this effect).

Next to that Mistward Weapons are still missing and suprisingly new Renegade Shortbow looks just like the rest of the set, so can you please finally fix the missing items again?

I don’t want to sound rude or anything (I also lack medical knowledge about this thing), but isn’t best way of overcoming motion sickness… getting used to the movements of everything you see or experience? Get a bucket and train yourself bro.

If you bind initiation skill to number 1 for example, mound just jumps instead. Binding it to “1” is only logical and everyone wants it, so please look into it.

New specs will require unlocking with special missions from what we heard already. NPCs are actually teaching you how to become new profession.

I know it won’t get changed and it’s not a big issue but in my opinion precursor Save The Queen and actual legendary The Shining Blade should in fact have names swapped with each other.
Shining Blade should be the precursor because it has lore and all, but then Save The Queen sounds more like an upgrade into a legendary weapon, it goes beyond the faction.

Just my 3 cents. Good design job though.

Hello everyone,
In my GW2 career I was pretty often reviewing for fun new items and new mechanics that are brought to Guild Wars 2 over the years. With Legendary Armor being finally released, as a pinnacle of achievement that hero can well… achieve. In this article I will cover every detail that has come to my mind while watching all three legendary armors in action, I will point out the pros and cons of each one of them. Verdict is sadly negative though, and I will explain why below, one by one. Putting it simply, even legendary armor is a victim to the most stupid, old and hated design mistakes. It does have many good sides but in the end the product is still very flawed even after all this time in the making.

Light Perfected Envoy:
+ Overall design is good.
+ Initial crystals burst matches the glowing effect color.
- Crystal theme, we already have an outfit that looks too similar.
- SPECIAL GLOW IS UNDYEABLE.

Medium Perfected Envoy:
+ Overall bones design is good idea.
+ Nice skull on the back.
- Coat looks awkward on males when dormant.
- Lack of sleeves on female while active looks really awkward too.
- The initial burst with fire wings does not match glow color.
- SPECIAL GLOW IS UNDYEABLE.

Heavy Perfected Envoy:
+ Overall good design.
+ Spikes and blades are not a bad idea, although… Bladed Armor.
+ VERY detailed and ornamented.
+ Initial burst wings are very visible and color is close to glow effect.
- Metal is too shiny and impossible to dye it truly dark.
- Glow effect paired with overly metallic everything is hardly visible.
- SPECIAL GLOW IS UNDYEABLE.

OVERALL VERDICT:
+ Good models.
+ Good animation and idea.
+ Has glow.
+ Has initial burst effect.
+ Sylvari female medium coat has original model.
+ Charr tail armor.
- Medium coat on charr has bad tail clipping (Unforgivable).
- Medium helmet on charr cuts horns (Unforgivable).
- SPECIAL GLOW IS UNDYEABLE (UNFORGIVABLE).
- Light and medium armor has Asura toe clipping, (medium has idiotic idea of covering toes’ upper side with a plate when active)(Unforgivable).
- Medium and heavy helmet cuts Asura ears (Unforgivable).

Possible fixes needed:
1. Split medium coat on charrs so tail won’t clip.
2. Add toe protection for asura light and medium.
3. Fix charr horn and asura ear cutting.
4. Heavy armor needs to be less metallic to improve dyeing.
5. ADD DYE CHANNEL FOR GLOW EFFECTS ON ALL ARMORS.

Just add an actual keyring, a slot in inventory for special item that will take every key that is required to chests, be it zephyrite, bandit, chak goop, machetes etc. Make it like account bound bag slot with only certain items being able to put there, like a collection bank tab. Do it now!

They indeed stated that Raid story is going together with normal gw2 story about dragons, leylines and bloodstones.

There is more afk people in Dragon Stand than you imagine xD

CrimeMaker.8612:

Hey man we WvWers have to do kitten ton of pve to craft legendaries so I don’t why is there a problem for you to do WvW. We WvWers find pve boring af too but we still have to do it. Also gift of battle is literally 2% of the legendary so if you can’t do 2% WvW then you don’t deserve it.

Because this game (like every mmo) cannot exist without PvE, therefore it is normal for WvWers to go pve, WvW is pve in the end, you destroy walls as a zerg

PvE players therefore need GoB in vendor so they wont need to go and ruin your perfect strategies for 8h a day.

Bring back Gift of Battle if you value playerbase even slightly.

ArenaNet is seriously having bad ideas most of the time. The announcement of this huge change was not enough and majority of us missed it, now we are stuck with everything. Bring back Gift of Battle as purchaseable item or we are gonna literally buy random crap and waste all resources to grief keeps.

Bring back Gift of Battle as purchaseable item because this change is THE MOST stupid change I’ve ever heard of in history of GW2. You take back and postpone literally everything, to focus on polishing content? Bullkitten and that’s all. Gemstore is only part of this game where feedback is actually listened to. Now what are we gonna use excessive badges of honor? To buy ballistas ans put them randomly all over the map and crash it?

They have learned something but also didn’t learn a lot of things still. Desigining of items overall is really badly behind or with silly mistakes like Ad Infinitum lacking any trail effect that basically every glider in game has, not to mention it should be fractal-ish trail. Legendaries postponed indefinetely, knowing that those were promised as part of HoT and some players are striving for this particular part of game. Raids and exclusivity of legendary armor only to them is hit in the guts for some players, and that is only 1st collection as we don’t know what will be next.

You want suggestions? I shall give you suggestions!
1. Molten Jetpack glider
2. Spinal Blades glider
3. Exalted glowing mantle-wings backpiece + glider
4. Mursaat black wings-mantle backpiece + glider
5. TRAIL EFFECT ON AD INFINITUM (that even basic gliders have) prefferably though made of sparkles or mist though, how the hell could you even forget that)
6. trail effect on The Ascension made of the actual colorful flames this backpiece has (also how could you forget about that)
7. Glint’s wings glider (+backpiece maybe because why not, would fit the shield “Glint’s Bastion”)

I can really go on.

SHEETS OF AURILLIUM… bugged since launch, cannot be bought. Needed for Astralaria and many other things.

Patch on December 1st didn’t fix it. WHY? What else do you honestly have to do, then to change one digit in npc’s table or whatever you use there from X to Y so it actually requires proper mastery level…
Maybe indeed it is concealing the fact that Astralaria IV is just not finished yet. Same like they concealed all new legendaries not being done by releasing them after a month from launch date.

Hey, but let’s better nerf rewards and fix some silly bugs like animation of whirlwind infinetely repeating…

Funfact, they are not yet made even, now they are rushing it probably on backstage, same was for 3 new legendary weapons, added but collections were surely not yet completed and it was concealed behind not being able to buy 1st book ArenaNet is behind schedule badly imho xD

Still missing projectile effects on downed state, aswell as not changing Revenant’s projectiles at all. Will it ever be addressed?

Is there any reasonable explanation why Ad Infinitum final form is not added as possible Glider skin? It looks like it can be one so add it to models, you don’t even need to change animations and stuff anymore, lazy work, just do it.

Upon map completion and receiving this box into inventory, it was not unlocked in Collection.

Bug was present since the launch, still not addressed… Priorities?

My hero point with itzel shooters does the same, was reported by players many times, still nothing done… Slow fixes of gamebreaking bugs.

Bug was present since the launch, still not addressed… Priorities?

All rings that were infused prior to whatever patch do not work in MF recipe, its surely a bug but good luck waiting for fix…

Bumping again.
Everyone who completed achievements before rewards introduction, didnt got them unlocked at Laurel Vendor, it is about time to fix this miastake isn’kitten

Awesome comparison

People fail to see that all veterna players wanted was some small addition like:
- character slot, so we can actually create new class there that is added with HoT
- 800 gems, better idea even because there are people who don’t want slots anymore so atleast they would buy some skin or outfit.

That’s all, entire drama would be resolved by just adding one of those options for veteran players. Done.

And yet I thought what FROMSOFTWARE did about Dark Souls 2 and later release of Scholar of First Sin… making same game on dx11 with some small addons… everyone was infuriated.

Atleast they have option to upgrade for lower price! And atleast they moved game to new DirectX which is kind of understandable to demand money for. Anet you made biggest fail in history of gaming, you did same work as with Living Story, small additions clumped into HoT package, and demand full price of a game for that + we still need to buy character slot.

Scholar of First Sin fits what they did, a first deadly sin commited against fans and community. Welcome to club ArenaNet.

If you are so kitteny then give us option to buy HoT with gems now, you will feel what it is like to be ripped off when people will just farm gold to buy it and you will get nothing.

John Smith: “You rang?”

Beautifully written, argumented exactly how we feel about it. I hope this post will become most important post on entire forum now.

OP is just not intelligent enough to understand idfference between price itself and how “dedicated” players are about to get flipped over like a famous table. It’s about respect and appretiation, works both ways. So what if I appretiate game, it’s developers and all, when in the end I’m being literally kicked in the face by not being a new player anymore?

To clarify: $50 is the price of the expansion. We included the core game as a free bonus to make it easier for new players to get into it.

By the same logic, veteran players should get a free copy of HoT to make it easier to get into it.

My new guru, spread the word coz this guy nailed it xD

Give option to buy only expansion with a godkitten free character slot for the hours and bugtesting we did in your game or I swear personally I’m gonna make so much trouble that game will be empty and nobody will play it.

I’m with you on the only expansion + character slot, but my main reactions to this comment were nervous amusement (if there is such a thing) and extreme curiosity. I wonder if any one person actually has the power to do such a thing. Does such a person play this game? The rational part of my mind says “probably not” but then again… I mean, Machiavell, come on, you’re not connected to one of the Borgias, right?

Due to my job in “backstage” of MMOs and security, I can assure you that on both sides there are people capable of bringing down or wiping entire servers and databases, along with backups. Details are classified.

Did people go insane and claw the walls when they merged the original GW trilogy in to one pack for a lower cost?

Did they go mad and scream scream when WoW merged it’s first three expansions in to the base game cost?

I really fail to see what the big deal is.

Because GW1 expansions had content…………

Ah, so we’re basically buying a box or a nice loading screen with HoT then?

Pretty much yes… Amount of content compared to base game is so low that 45 euro feels like buying yet another CoD.

Playerbase will dive deep down because of their shenanigans.

Right in the feels and pride of GW2 player… They hurt me badly.

Exactly, content added in HoT is too small to price it for 45 euro, lack of even character slot is kick in the face. If it doesn’t change, I’m sure playerbase will dive down like (no offensive intentions) numbers during holocaust.
