If Level scaling was gone would you feel motivated to visit lower level areas again?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Matthew Kline.8420

Matthew Kline.8420

Personally I love the downscaling. If I go back to help a friend, its still somewhat of a challenge and I’m not just blowing through all mobs therefore ruining the experience for my friend.

Not to mention the fact that it makes the lower areas still fun. Pwning everything up is fun for about 3 minutes.

Five missing skill point locations?

I have 100% completion, most likely you skipped a map somewhere, or maybe when you were first starting out in an area and you forgot to ‘go back’ and finish the SPs.

Its going to require you visiting every area and hitting M so you can see the SP totals.

How much gold do you have ?

Around 39g on main and alt combined. Full exotic armour + at least 3-5g worth of mats in bank.

I karma farm a lot at CursedS, and salvage white items only with basic SK. Sell the blue green to merchant. And TP the rares.

I was having issues with mine too, I was told today by customer support rep. that they were doing some updates to the system. This error could be related.

Disabling the 'shaking' of screen during large AoE spells

Disabling the 'shaking' of screen during large AoE spells

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Matthew Kline.8420

Is there a setting to disable the screen shaking during large elementalist spells or other large AoE attacks?

It gets kind of annoying during boss events when my screen is going nuts from all the spells and large attacks.

I heard it was possible to disable, but I can’t find the setting to do so.

Help?

Can't transfer back to home server :(

Matthew Kline.8420

That’s what I did thinking that the server I transferred too would get the forts with the vistas I needed, turns out TC is dominating all the maps and has all the forts I need… kicking myself for being impulsive. Guess this is a learning lesson.

Same here, same here. I just want 100%!! I’m at 98% with a couple more stuff to get in TC and Eternal battlegrounds.

Where is Victory or Death?

Yes, its in the story mode dungeon. I beat the quest last night and I actually enjoyed the dungeon. The ending was kind of anti climactic I thought but thats just my opinion.

I also must say i loved the music track at the celebration in FT.

You already know how to create another character. There’s not much we can tell you if you have attachment issues to your main.

Other than try to set a goal on your alts and attain it. Keep setting goals and getting them and after awhile you will become used to your alt. Your main will always be ‘there’ when you want a break.

It typically goes into your My Documents folder under Guild War 2. Then subfolder called Screens.

I have a shortcut on my desktop for it. I have about 120 sshots so far.

Mounts [Merged]

in Suggestions

Posted by: Matthew Kline.8420

Matthew Kline.8420

NO MOUNTS. There are plenty of WPs, besides they want to facilitate people to walk around the map and INTERACT with other players. Adding mounts would ruin that. This isn’t WOW.

Stop being lazy and walk. I do agree that WP costs could be reduced however. I understand they need money sinks, but at level 80 WP costs are quite high.

Has Guild Wars 2 been worth your $60.00?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Matthew Kline.8420

Matthew Kline.8420

Very much so. I have a level 80 and working on 100% completion, well over 250 hours in now.

If you put it in perspective, watching a 2 hour movie at the theatre is like $10.

5 Characters, all between levles 20 and 25, 210 hours played.

1 character – level 80 warrior. I’d like to get 100% map completion then start an alt. I would also like to get crafting skills to 400. At least the two I’m working on now.

Quality of drops from quests and rewards

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Matthew Kline.8420

Matthew Kline.8420

the only good rewards I’ve found in any area of the game is map completion of the higher level zones. gives you a couple exotic pieces that sell up to a gold each.

I too have found this to be quite good for making money, granted map completion takes some time but the rewards for high level zones are decent.

How many hours have we played?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Matthew Kline.8420

Matthew Kline.8420

Keep in mind that if you sit your character afk for awhile – have to run out, eat etc. That time gets counted even though you are not playing.

I believe the auto logout is after 45min of idle, but if you are like me and usually stay logged in while your doing something, that ‘age’ command could be skewed higher due to those idle sessions counting.

Just something to keep in mind so you don’t flip out in shock on seeing those high numbers, lol.

No one fights Underwater Bosses

Posted by: Matthew Kline.8420

Matthew Kline.8420

I love underwater combat, sometimes I find myself screwing up because I think I’m closer/further away to something than I actually am lol

I play a warrior and switch between speargun and spear and I find it fun.

It IS hard however, if your against a champion solo, forget it.

Is it me? Or is it hard to target in this game?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Matthew Kline.8420

Matthew Kline.8420

I agree, the targeting in this game needs to be fixed. I find it quite annoying when I’m running with a group of ‘allies’ in a story mission and the enemies are all around us. I click tab on the enemy and attack them. I move the screen around by right clicking and holding to drag it, only to have it select an ally in front of me.

If right clicking is really a targeting feature, that needs to be disabled, or at least given the OPTION to disable that.

Also, I do experience frustration with being in downed state and having the target move to something else that has full health – not the mob that was about dead. So I proceed to accidentally attack the full mob, which basically screws me over.

I love the game so far, ~100 hours, but some stuff needs work.

Will We See the Return of Elite Missions in GW2?

That would be a great idea. It seems (judging from the forums) that most qualms about the ‘endgame’ is that there isn’t much to do after level 80.

I actually see a lot of mesmers Matthew. Necros and engineers aren’t that common on my server. Lotsa low level engineers with turret armies, but none at higher levels. Most seen: warriors, guardians, mesmers, rangers (in that order)

Fair enough. I guess on my server not many mesmers.

Crash at Kessex Hills Skill Point (underworld portal)

Matthew Kline.8420

An eastern skill point capture in Kessex Hills seems to be bugged. This is the one where there is a ‘Portal to the Underworld’ and 3 shades come out.

Everytime I engage them it crashes my game, and my computer. I have to restart.

This has occurred 3 times in a row. I am running GW2 on Windows7 64bit.

Not sure if this has been fixed, but I haven’t tried it since Saturday (its now Monday).

Thanks!
