Guild Wars 2

Hi, I’m Paul Ella, producer for Guild Wars 2 raids

Isn’t this a clue? Yes, only raid sadly. It’s all that matters now.

TheFantasticGuy.7206:

Full disclosure:
1) I have not noticed the toughness change make a bit of difference.

Thanks! I thought I was the only one. I guess they were scared to break it even more, but the change in completely unnoticeable?

TheFantasticGuy.7206:

I’ve been running my raid healing build in T4 fractals and not one person in the past 3-4 weeks has complained about it.

I run viper in my T4s (thought it was the meta) and yesterday was asked: “wtf are you condi? we usually take healer druid”. Is this actually a new thing?

Apparently coming. Would be nice to know more

Singarti.5862:

I do however wonder why you though it would be appropriate to throw in the “special snowflakes and lazy people” part in your reply to my post, Sabetha, and how that applies specifically to my current situation with GW2 raiding.

What he/she meant is: “I’m more special than you”.

Yoiu can complete the Horologicus collection for shield
If you do a lot of open world maybe GS. Else I’d say another sword.

But there’s plenty of kills with chronomancer? Even with chronomancer tanking. There was one with 2 of them too!

Darkwvlf.9018:

tbh I was awake and in auric basin at 0420 central this morning and did 3 or 4 champ heroic challenges with groups, no problem. You have to pick your times better?

really…?
maybe for a raid. For personal progression (hero point) it shouldn’t be a problem playing at the time you want. Telling him to pick his times better is not the answer, and you know, some people work and can not pick times. The answer is better map design and not the clusterkitten that the jungle is.

To Mr Smith

Q: Why exactly don’t you want us to run dungeons?

Happy to see this. Would be happier if ascended had free stat swapping, tho. This step, even if it’s in the right direction, leaves the ascended system exposed. What’s the purpose of having all those laurel recipes now? It’s cheaper to craft the one you have and convert. What’s the purpose of time gating (celestial) if you can just convert any other?

I don’t think GH are going to be a convenient npc/craft hub, especially because theyre trying to make money out of those aiship/terrace passes.

OP you nail it.

Regina Buenaobra.6193:

We included the core game as a free bonus

Just LOL.

Experiencing this too. Loading LA gone from 10 to 25-30 sec

Obligatory………….

Well he asked… didn’t want to disappoint him :c

Davidm.2419:

How much will guild wars 2 heart of thorns cost?

$35.95

Davidm.2419:

and when will guild wars 2 heart of thorns come out?

Jan-6th-2016

Davidm.2419:

and will there be a collecters edition for guild wars 2 heart of thorns at gamestop?

Yes. $79.95

I agree, they’re out of place because they’re a remnant of the old design and a bad one for the new system.
When I look at the trait panel, I want to change my traits as fast and practically as possible. I can’t change those minors, they’re just clutter. They could just be explained in a tooltip over the specialization icon for all I care.

Some of the excuses given to OP for not even considering his submission plainly stink and make the sc community look like a kitten. It’s sad.

oh doh, my bad

Specializations are coming before HoT, you don’t have to pay to have them.

I agree But keeps you playing doesn’kitten Same with the stupid amount of currencies, tokens, bags, silky sands… You really think there’s no easier way to do it?

This, and everything else, is not about your convenience, but about keeping you playing. It’s just applied psychology to make you feel rewarded.

If they really worry about build diversity and us trying different things in different situations, making ascended gear be stat-selectable OOC would solve this real quick. THAT, would be fun. Noone wants to craft 5 ascended sets, or carry them around. I think the effort and cost of an ascended armor set, compared to the gain, is significant enough to allow that.

Xenon.4537:

Monk

There was already once a class with this name in GW1, and it was almost purely supportive and designed for healing. Anet clearly wanted to give the guardian an aggressive ranged option for combat. Monks were never about range or pure DPS.

Not true… Not only, but as an example Smite/RoJ builds were very high dps.

While I also don’t like many of the other names you argument against, your arguments are hardly valid.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Saint_Viktor /and Kurzick imagery in general

Could go on. Point is anet has historically adopted terminology from many different places. You like dragonhunter? That’s fine. Many of us just feel it’s cheap and inappropiate.

There’s also a difference between being an elitist and being a kittenhole :)

Obtena.7952:

Having a Inspect Gear option would do NOTHING to force players into min-maxing … except making those players LEAVE GW2.

Seems like a great thing to happen.

Wow.

Question: what’s the reasoning behind the shifting towards a more graphic heavy UI? I’ve been noticing this direction, and not only in the 2 screens from the new specializations UI. In my opinion, it’s not really a good choice, but what do I know, so I’m asking To me it’s preferable a clean, functional UI like the one attached, over one this big, with lots of images and icons that maybe I don’t recognize at first glance. It doesn’t seem to me this brings us any closer to build templates, but makes it even harder. You can’t even name traits by number (like II – VI – XI now).

(That must be… a lot of exotics)

It IS unbalanced. Silk being used in heavy and medium armor is not an excuse. Remove from those recipes. Make it so you can actually craft a damask daily as easily as you can craft a deldrimor ingot. Balance it please.

Because of clipping, balthazar’s is the closest you will get to a cape.

In mesmer forum someone was saying ranger runes are working with some war BANNERS?

I think the mistake here is calling out a specific part of the game better than the others just because you enjoy it more. OP has a point, and I’m with him in wanting more dungeons as it’s what I enjoy most in a mmo. I’ts obvious quite a few people do. And even if he puts it in form of a threat, he’s very entitled to do whatever he wants with his money. What’s not so cool is calling “zombie key mashers” the people that enjoys living story. You’re not better than them. This shouldn’t be a petty debate about what is more difficult or who is more skilled.

Zhou.3605:

Wow. I mean really. slow claps We thank you, ohh great game supporter.

That’s unneeded :( He has supported the game. And he has every right to voice his concern and if he chooses to, not to support the game anymore

PD: And yeah … it’s pretty obvious we’re not going to get new dungeons. If we were, they wouldn’t be using some cryptic terminology, and would have hyped it when they announced the expansion.

From what I’ve seen in videos, it’s literally impossible to run out of energy, even spamming skills or using the elite. Something thieves cannot say.

Would like an student invite!

They’re introducing more and more back skins to mute our cape needs, which also introduces more “clipping issues” to hypothetical capes, so I think it’s clear they already gave up

I agree with OP here. With all the “you can take a break we’ll be here” and Living Story being sold as “free updates”, having to pay if you missed a chapter seems a bit shady to me.

I mean, one of the points of this feature, besides replyability, seems to be not punishing returning player for missing the “free content updates”, so why punish them anyway?

I think I read a dev stating conjured weapons mimic other classes skills but should never be better than those? Am I making it up? I can’t find the post again

I bow to no Kormir.

“As for expansion, we are now focused on the Living World production, have not considered this issue.”

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

3) The particle affects are adjustable, to some extent. They really should not be so over the top that it makes everyone around me lag. I do have some consideration for others…

That’s so sweet. And naive. People will do the opposite, trying by any means to stack auras and boost their egos.

It’s happening.

Don’t have an answer but I can say TA takes a loooot longer to load than any other zone/dungeon for me.

Adry.7512:

we need more wing skins and wing back armor

I don’t need any wings at all, thanks.
Speak for yourself.

1. This is basically because how conditions work, not only in dungeons, also in open world boss events. Blame the game design, not dungeons.
2. I agree.
3. I don’t see anything wrong with legit path sellers. If they enjoy soloing/making money this way, why not? In some cases, besides the tokens, you even get free gold.

Edit: I see rangers/necro/engis ALL the time in my dungeon runs!

I don’t see much point :/ People that enjoy these new zergevents will have memorised the 2-3 bosses that match their play time in matter of days. And temple events are not trackeable since the megaserver doesn’t know in which ‘shard’ you will end up.

Personal story as thief/ranger/engi Around level 70 I think.

My feedback on Megaserver: I barely do any open world content since the patch. I don’t like megazergs, I don’t like how aggressive map chat is, I don’t like being tied to a schedule, I don’t like being charged twice to WP, I’m experiencing more and more lag, …
So I got my traits unlocked and I’ve avoided events ever since and sticked to dungeons. Megaserver has ruined open world for me, I just don’t feel like going out there. My constructive feedback: since Anet doens’t seem to like the gw1 districts idea and insists in tying us to this -in my opinion- stupid server pride model, please go back to the old server communities and merge low populated ones.
