Guild Wars 2

A suggestion i’ve been trying to push to A-NET has been the re-release of the old Town-clothes items, as armor skins, which I believe would make a lot more people happier in the fact they don’t need to keep around useless items and can wear something more casual than very gaudy armor.

Why Skins and not outfits? – Skins are more customisable, and you can mix and match them which gives the players the option of being more fashion forward.

Hey Anet, I recently (a few weeks ago) got a musical harp to play with a few friends but all of us have been experiencing some major delays and disruptions in playing anything quickly.

At time the sound doesn’t come out, or pauses then comes out in a massive cluster. This is true for thee Lute, Flute, Bell and Harp. Its gradually been getting worse and others have told me that they too are experiencing this.

This is experienced here too, only getting a 200 MS ping with the game but half the time with the Musical Harp it skips notes making playing songs impossible.

Something that lets us mix and match Outfit pieces would be nice, that’s all I want.

Re-releasing the Riding clothes/old town clothes as armor skins?

Is there plans to put in – as it was 2 years ago – the ability to mix and match pieces of costumes/Outfits?

for example – wearing your own item head piece with a costume set?

:/ It was really disappointing to come back to the game after two years and realise i cant wear my fuzzy earmuffs with my winters dress!

Also – What. A.Net.

Why did you not just turn Riding tonics/etc into armour skins?

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

One issue that can cause problems with downloading is LavaSoft programs. Your friend might check to make sure he/she hasn’t any of those programs active/installed.

Good luck.

He has none, i’m sitting beside him.

:/ this is very frustrating as we’re both on the same modem connection.

Hey GW2 team.

My friend is unable to download the latest patch on his computer, the launcher stuck on initializing for the patcher, its been sitting here for around 20 minutes.

We’ve tried repairing the folder and clearing the game cache.

:x any idea how to fix it? we dont want to redownload the whole game again, for the third time this year as our internet doesn’t go faster than 200kb/s when downloading it.

Thanks.

Hello Anet, as a casual player with not much time on my hands;

the only real way I had to gather any karma for my account was to do one dungeon a week or so. I am very close to finishing my legendary and only need around 60k more Karma but I have found that now with my limited time and the changes to karma, I am not even able to make 400 in a day.

I believe this removal is a little unfair to all those players who do not have 5 hours a day to play, and would like to request some sort of fix.

I’m doing a double major in applied linguistics and teaching – my study work takes up 8-9 hours a day, then I work part time. I have very little time for myself.

Why did you remove Karma from dungeons? What purpose does this serve?

Thank you for reading.
Meena

Hey A-Net.

I’ve been playing Guild Wars 2 since release now and am a very active roleplayer in the community.

I will cut the pleasantries and get straight to the problem. The roleplaying community in Guild Wars feels vastly neglected and not cared about by the staff and developers of Guild wars. Yes – you do try and cater for all markets and peoples but by neglecting to see the potential in a community that cares deeply for your games lore, art, design. They make up a fairly large player base in Tarnished Coast and sporadically on other servers. These people and myself care for the game and want to nurture it to greatness .But as we have seen from the developers so far, is that everything they have promised us. Everything that made GW1 great – is being removed.

• Guild Halls – removed, until further notice. We have heard from the staff themselves that they have no intentions of working on them.
• Epic end game stories and expansions removed.
• No promise of new playable races or classes.
  *Denying new areas until ‘PVP’ is perfected.
• Removing important cultural aspects of GW from the game to create a more ‘unified’ and ‘Culturally sensitive’ community.
• Lore updated so slowly.
• No promise of an official RP server for the thousands of roleplayers.

Please, If anyone has anything to add. post away. I’d love to hear your opinions! <3

I cant agree more. As an asura player I wish they would make things look more appropriate for us.

I think the removal of canthan themes or Asian themes from any MMO game is stunting to any society. Anthropologically we need to look at human societies holistically. In our real life China and the asian countries are some of the most historically rich cultures of the world. Removing them would remove a lot of our own worlds history and science pursuits.

I do not understand how removing a culture which population itself takes up more than 1/6th of the worlds total is beneficial to anyone..

On the topic of Guild Wars, I run a guild on Tarnished Coast based on a Canthan Noble RP house; I’ve read every bit of Canthan lore I can find. With the removal of such an integral part of the games lore and what made a lot of players pick up Guild wars, we would be hurting the players. Asia is a rich, beautiful and diverse and spectacular region of the world. They have beliefs much different from our own. I know personally; without the promise of Canthan styled objects and world areas. My time and money will be directed elsewhere. As will the 100+ people in my guild.

For years I have played MMO’s to realize that GW2 is very stunted in the fact there is only a limit to 10 mail slots to hold your mail.

In most games I would expect.. 50? even 80 mail slots. I am constantly left having to take screenshots of mail to remember what someone has said to me for later. It makes it very problematic for roleplayers also who use the mail system as an in character form of communication.

Yes. Yes. Ungodly amounts of yes.

Thieves have an incredibly high crit rate due to their traits and gear they can get. Their back stab always 100% crits and with a good crit damage build you can easily do 10-15k crits,
TLDR:

Thieves are a HIT AND MISS class, you either KO the target quickly and run away like a pansy, or you go with dual pistols and use unload 100 times, then run away.

Yes, they should be scaled more, I play an asura main and the backpack looks hideous on them!

Agreed! I wish they had different ponderings and such.

Roleplaying is a great way to keep the community thriving. It brings in people who actually care about the games lore and direction, TC is the unofficial RP server of the American servers. I think this tag is a really good idea.

Oh wow thank you!

Thank you! I wonder if there are any more..

Hello there; I am from tarnished Coast, the unofficial role-play server of the game.

I have recently created a character who is an apothicary and was wondering if like in CM-Seraph Path; if there are any LORE based herbs and drugs in the game.

LYSSA’S TONGUE Is a herb mentioned on CM-Seraph path that forces the consumer to tell the truth.

Are there many more that anyone knows of with a LORE basis?

They intentionally took it away.

Yes. This. Yes.
Maybe with the Mouvelian calender date on it too! (With season and such)

^ I second that. , i’ll compile the best quotes and put them in the main post

..There are websites on gw2db and other things telling you such.

I think it was an intended change, a bad one at that,

‘Town Transmutation stone, 250 each’ DONE.

Add item that turns ANY piece of Armour into TOWN CLOTHES.

Profit.

Wow! Im so glad there a lot of interested parties in this.

I’ll try to keep it up. Especially with new events and such out, it is such a shame to pull away a fantastic part of the game.

I already own 11 character slots. Not enough for every race in every armour set.

I believe it does. I think as Hamfast said, a ’Do you want this? you cannot wear this" is an appropriate warning.

i agree with that completely.

Everyone does, but even taking away preview is annoying. There is no real reason for it. :< I just want to be able to SEE gear on my character without having to Google a GW2armoury website etc.

Oh good idea, I also feel one should be able to cr when kneeling/sitting. as if crying in a more upset state.
Maybe if Asura’s had a stepping stool.

I cannot agree enough! or a game calender too, with the LORE date too.

I will also have to say, there are HUNDREDS of chairs around the place, in taverns and such. May we please get an option, like in WoW and other MMO’s..to [f] sit in them?

Thieves are very squishy, they are all about burst and running away. My thief at max level has 10k lower HP than my Asura Necromancer..

Hello all, I am Meena Nox [Or Gin Hotaru] from Tarnished Coast server, the unofficial roleplay server of GW2.

Now, I am not generally one to complain or bring up a fuss, so I have started a thread on a few suggestions I have received from players who role play to help with game immersion. I feel as if I am arrogant by saying, But roleplayers pay much more attention to lore, events and such things. As they effect our characters, not just our level; So I would love Anet to look this over at least once.

Firstly..

‘Looking’ Animations
I am talking about your character looking down, up, around, at someone else . Such as if I play an Asura, I expect that; like in combat stance, she will crane her head upwards to look at the taller races. Whereas in passive/idle stance she does not do this. It seems that the only race with this scaling animation is Human Male. Most races tend to do this while Moving, but not while being idle and talking.

Transaction from Sit —> Laying down, or Laying down --> Sitting
I personally feel that there should be an inbetween emotive action. One that shows icly. It is rather awkward to have a character sit, then stand suddenly to lie down… and vice versa. Also a /Standup emote would help, where your character naturally progressively stands up.

Suggestions for Emotes
/sigh – Your charatcer sighs, shoulder drops and you shake your head.
/shy or /blush – your character blushes and acts appropriately.
/kiss – blow a kiss at someone.
/fidget – you fidget about.

I get those crashes, and I dont even have an authenticator.. Every 3 minutes now.
