Guild Wars 2

First of all, the LS should not focus on only one thing, but should affect a lot of zones. Some invasions with Tyria’s Joker, something new at Southsun, and a new pirates attack, all in the same update. The world doesn’t change one part at a time, do you know?

Second, some of the LS should be permanent. Sure, the invasions ended, but the pirates attack changed the attacked town, and the new boss at Southsun is there to stay.

And third, yes, we want more dragons. We want to be heroes. Give us the chance of doing something heroic.

I am bored of reading “SAB is worst LS ever” and the likes, and think “hey, nobody is counting this flames, so all this means nothing”.

So, why don’t put a “dislike” button besides the “like” one, and then compare both counts? If you (ANet) believe that the “dislike” button can be abused, then you could put it onli besides the LS threads, so that we could vote and you could know which LS we like the best (or dislike a lot!) and then know where you should direct your efforts to.

Well of Wells: It cast all the necro’s wells at once! yay!

More face options, like freckles, scars, tatoos, beards. And let us customize the bodies, so that our chars can be really slim or fat.

Psichologas.1063:

Anet is doing a great job but:
1. Warriors and guardians are most OP classes now, they are best in PVE, PVP, WvW and dungeons, other classes fall against them in every aspect, from damage to sustain.

Wrong. They can be taken out if you master your mesmer, your thief, your elementalist. It’s not a matter of broken profession, it’s a matter of skills.

The OP isn’t saying that those classes are invincible: he just said that they are overpowered. That probably means that they need a lot less player-skills to achieve what other classes can achieve with more effort. That if you play those classes, you will be consistently doing more damage to mobs, soaking more damage done to you, etc.

And I agree with that, btw.

Not really a bug, imho, but I don’t know where to put it…

Simple items that are exactly the same doesn’t automatically merge into only one stack on banks or guild banks, the way they do on char bags. It may be happening because you drop the item directly into a bank slot, instead of “in the bank” as a whole.

With all the extra dyes we got with the update, it will be nice to have some way to merge those items. One idea is that items that are the same automatically merge into one only stack. Anothe idea is that you provide a “merge” button so that we can merge the items if we want to.

You have a lot of options in this game:

If you want to play solo, then you can explore the map (hearts, views, etc), do the Jumping Puzzles, advance in your personal story, craft, do “solo” events…

But if you want to play in group, then do dungeons, fractals, group events, fight champions, and so on… You can do it with a group of friends as a guild, or with a group of unknown people.

Is perfectly ok that you can’t beat some of the worst enemies in Tyria all by yourself. afaik, the game offers you a lot of possibilities, and you only need to select those that best suits you and your play style.

Each time someone says “Necro is a crappy class”, I heard “you need to be a superb player to play a necro!”.

Yes, I want necros to be improved, a lot, and to have their niche in the game… but in the meantime, each time I win a match, I know that I did it with a highest difficulty level… and that makes me extra happy. XD

Our guild usually use some short version of this one:

“LFG to run dungeon as slowly and inefficiently as possible. Dodging or using appropriate skills will result in kick. Anyone is welcome. You have been warned! Abandon all hope, ye who enter here!”

That’s a very good idea, indeed. And, in a magical setting, you don’t even have to worry about why the content is still playable. “Hiya, you traveler! Enter my timeless portal, that will let you enter the flow of time and live a mirage of past times!”.

ANet can choose if the “mirages” let you come back with loot, or only with experience… Nevertheless, is a fine idea.

I will just sit on the street, besides Hobo-tron, and ask fellow adventurers to donate me a Spark. Probably, I will get it sooner this way.

Some events need a zerg, some events doesn’t need one, and some other events discourage zergs. This event belongs to the third type.

We are too accustomed to equip a berserk armor and weapon, spect a berserk build, and just run on a zerg, melting everything on our path. And when we find something we can’t defeat this way, then we start crying “bad design”.

Take this as what it is: another difficulty on our path to being a hero. Addressing the crowds and convincing them of gtfo of the fight is just another difficulty of the encounter, as could be another mob, or more hp on our enemies, or an insta-kill attack. Learn how to deal with it.

This is, after all, a massive multiplayer game, and things like this is what differences it from single-player games. Learn the mechanics, and talk to the other players. I, for one, am gratefull that not all events are one and the same.

All the accountbound tickets, badges, baubles, currencies. votes, and the likes, should go directly to the wallet, period.

Malchior.1928:

Honestly, I think The Crossing makes a better legendary than The Bifrost ;f

imho, The Crossing is the best looking staff in game. Since I can’t get my hands on one, I am currently using my second option, Final Rest (a scythe-looking cool staff).

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Final_Rest

And, since the legendary staff doesn’t have better stats than the top staves, I believe I will keep Final Rest.

I read the title, and thought “why is he asking to rename the dolyak whole race? What does he dislike about the name ‘Dolyak’?” XD XD XD

I believe the main problem is that we still don’t love GW2’s Tyria. The designers, the devs, the game, don’t let us love it, because of the stories and the npcs.

For example, your ruler must be loved, a ruler to die for, or hated, a ruler that will kill you if you fail. But the current queen kittens. You can’t love her, nor hate her… she’s only a nuissance, a rag-doll queen.

There’s nothing wrong with the Overflows, as long as the game make sure that any overflow will be fully populated before creating a new one. I had been on a “empty” OF, just to be moved to another OF, “emptier”.

For me, the whole OF problem is just a people problem. Something like “I am on OF, so I will lose, so I will stop playing well because of that”. Give your best, be in a main server or in an OF, and you will see that you will start losing less and less.

I love all the trailers and discussions released previous to an update. They let us to prepare for the update, to research about the new best builds, to plan ahead about how are we going to spend the next in-game week or month.

But…

I do not love to know ahead of time what will happen.

I mean, I already know that, one way or the other, L.A. as we know it will dissapear. Maybe there will be only ruins. Maybe there will be a new dungeon to explore L.A.’s underworld. Maybe there will be an empty map. And maybe someday L.A. will be rebuild. Or not.

I already know that today I should walk across L.A. and take a lot of pictures. And I already know that tomorrow, when I log in, I will appear on a new map (and maybe an automatic instance to show what happened). And I know that, doesn’t matter how hard I fight, L.A. will be lost. Why should I fight then?

What if the dev team keep that info to themselves? If they give us in advance info about the bug-fixes, about the changes in game-mechanics, but keep to themselves the info about story? What if tomorrow, when I log in, I find myself in a L.A. burning down because of a surprise attack, without actually knowing what was going on, without knowing that that was going to happen?

Moreover, what if that attack, that battle, goes for one week of play, and THEN, based of the players fight, on some across-server points, it is decided if L.A. lives or dies? (Of course, devs, you are fully allowed to be a good Dungeon Master, and play with us and decide, no matter how many points we did, that L.A. will fall, but we will still be surprised the moment the surprise attack starts, we will still fight as the heroes we are supposed to be, and we will enjoy a lot more than we will do now).

This is a role playing game, after all. And never, ever, in all the “live-action” role playing games I had played, had the DM come to me, one week earlier, to say “do you know what? I will send you a dragon on saturday’s game-session. And the orcs will make a surprise attack against your base, cackle cackle”… I learn what is happening at the same time my char does. So, why don’t do the same here?

PS: Many of you may say “that’s easy, boy: don’t look into the forums, and you will be surprised”. But that isn’t the idea, and you know it. Besides, there’s other ways of find out about the new updates. And -and this really bugs me- normally the in-game info is so hard to find, that you need to look into the forum, of another sites, to really grasp what’s going on with each update. Yeah, even to learn about the story…

Show it as an extra bar, or still better, don’t show it at all!

Do you have the three purple crystals you need? They drop from bosses (champions, I believe) during the fight. Without them, the asura can’t open the portal to Scarlet.

“Soak all aoe”… sounds sooo nice! Only that, and I will be back to Minionmancer in a blink.

And the best of all? The tons and tons of threads with everybody shouting “YOU ARE OP!!!! ARGHHHH!” at us.

GW1 minions looks like the evolution of GW2 minions. Welcome to Pokéminion!

Seriously, I agree with Bhawb: minion’s skins!!!

+1 to the right click boon-removing option.

Azrael.4960:

or just wait for it to expire? I mean, most speed buffs don’t last much longer than 25seconds, unless you’re in WVW

Remember that you can get boons from other players. You can be with someone spamming some buffs, and having to wait 25 seconds may be a pain on timed jumps or in enemy-filled rooms.

The problem is more than just the beard or the hairy chest (that yes, I do think they need, btw), or other cosmetic things (scars, please!!!). Is a base model problem.

I would espect norns to be more hulk-like (and I mean like The Hulk, from Marvel Comics). The Hulk is not only a “big human”: his body doesn’t have the same measures than a “normal” human body. When I play The Hulk in a video-game, I know I am not playing a human (my main is a norn, and I forgot that when first playing it: I just assume that the animals were too little. Even now, I feel like I am a human and the humans are halflings or hobbits!).

If you don’t want something that beefy, you can ask for the norns to be more “earth-elemental-like”, more slow, more wide… But it needs to convey their awesome strength just by seeing them!

C’mon, guys. We are playing a fantasy game here, full of magic and power, aren’t we?

A simple spell or cursed item in any role playing system can change your gender, race, and basically anything about you. So, why should you cry over it?

So I made a Charr and then want to change to a Norn? Well, let’s pay some gems, and then do a simple quest or something like that, in which my char changes its race, but its “memories” (the low level quests) are still there. “Yes, I am a Norn, but it wasn’t always like this. I remember when I was a kitty…”.

This is a game, and the idea is to enjoy it. So, let’s make it enjoyable.

P.S. Besides, ANet, you can get some extra bucks with us buying those gems!

Stx.4857:

Im trying to find a dagger skin thats deathly, but i cant find anything.

I love the Sclerite Dagger skin, but is too expensive. So, my choice of necroish dagger is the Flame Dagger – looks awesome, and is pretty cheap!

cubed.2853:

I find it odd that not more people do complain.

We did, but some time ago, when the patch just came out. We complain, we complain, no one answered anything, and then we accept and go on.

im expecting Black flame skull or something like this…

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

No, write both Trahearne and Destiny’s Edge out, and make the player the main character.

I understand your feelings, but I prefer it that way. In a traditional game, I do prefer to be the main character, but in a massive online game, not everyone of us can be the guy who killed Zhaitan. Simply put, there is not enough Zhaitans.

I prefer it that way: the legendary team is Destiny’s Edge, the commander is Trahearne, and I am one of the heroes who was on the flying boat, cleaning its deck from mobs and gunning down the dragon. That way, the story is the same for all of us, and our chars can “talk” with each other without killing themselves for being too much of a lier.

The problem here is that Trahearne is a plain character. Anyone of the partners from the three orders is A LOT more charismatic, and A LOT more closer to our characters. If Tybalt -for example- were the one saying “hey, I killed that Zhaitan, thanks to my buddy here!”, no one would complain about it. But Trahearne is not Tybalt, but a plain character imposed to us.

+1 on the idea.

A +10 / 1% on something isn’t really going to break the game. Even then, a purely cosmetic change will be nice to have.

The Flesh Golem is an Elite Minion. It has an image to maintain! It can’t be seen all wet and with its hair disordered!

KlausKNT.9302:

I still see only few Necros in wvsw, but i see toons of Guardians on wvsw. Thar really means not necro are on the top but guardians. (…) Necro just die to fast in “bad fights” and noone like to play a class where is no options to real escape, and yu need to take almost all the hits on your chest.

I love to play necro, and I don’t want to accept that they are the hardest to play and less “powerful” class… but they are.

Their main problem is not their direct damage, their condition damage, or event their stupid minions. And their high HP and defense are very nice. But they have no chance to escape from damage.

They are slow, they have no extra dodges, no “phantasmal” form to evade attacks, no blocks, no invulnerability, no nothing. From afar, they are ok, but if an enemy get to you, you are in trouble: kill or be killed, but you will need to resist all his attacks.

Enundr.9305:

thank you Engels……and ill bring this point up…..Burning…?….BURNING?
What part of the aspect of death is ever considered BURNING?!?!?!
We are NECROMANCERS , not ELEMENTALISTS!!!!
WE BRING THE COLD TOUCH OF DEATH IN GRENTGHS NAME!!!! NOT BALTHAZAARS!!!!

In Short , REMOVED DHUUMFIRE , NOONE wanted it , reverse some of the nerfs (aka the terror dmg nerf). We are NECROMANCERS , we bring the cold touch of death , not the hot burning wrath of balthazaar , we reap terror into those that fear death.

;-P

Last time I checked, fire was undead worse enemy. :-s I ask myself if any Dev is playing a necro.

0 times. Dry Top lag my pc on a way that none of the other game zones can achieve.

Tricare.2946:

Power rangers are horrible.

Do you prefer Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

SPOILERS AHEAD —-

GW2 made a good work with each order’s companion: I personally liked Order of Whispers’ Tybalt the most. And when they are killed, and suddently replaced by a plant, while you still are mourninng them, is natural that we hate the replacement.

When I started playing GW2, I create a Necro without doubting it.

Now, almost 2 years later… I would do it again. Still is my fav char.

hmmm… Well, even as Frodo was “the one”, and was who destroyed the One Ring, LOTR is also the story of the other hobbits, and the rest of the fellowship. You can start with Sam or Aragorn saying “this is my story”, because even if they don’t destroyed the ring or killed Sauron, they helped, they learned a lot of things, they lived through it… So yes, the PS can be “my” story, even if I am not the dragon killer.

The story of the life of a soldier can be told as a war narration, even if that particular soldier didn’t won singlehanded that war.

Once said that… yes, please, kill Trahearne, and make the PS more heroic and close to us.
