Guild Wars 2

Got another one! Ventari: Is it true that my words have inspired an entire race?
Human: It is. Sylvari society is built on your teachings.

So I was in game right after I updated my client and as I switched to Jalis to see the changes about 10 minuets after idoly looking at the traits Jalis started talking to my character!!!!! Is this new or am I just unfortunate enough to not have heard them speak? The dialogue is in the picture attached. Please let me know as I am currently freaking out about this!!!!

As the title suggests…. I have over 100 unidentified dyes ankitten ot sure if i should sell them outright or gamble for something better. Any ideas?

What’d you mean by clear Rata Sum? Like the intro level for asura?

Where did they go? Are they still available to get in pvp? There are a bunch of new skins I want to apply to my alts but need more charges….

Are we going to get any of the mist weapons from the betas? I loved the skins and was looking forward to seeing the sword of the weapon collection.

Does anyone know how to acquire the revenant skinned mistward weapons? the ones used in the beta?

I think in terms of acquiring upgrades for guilds, they should do something like Warframe does. Depending on your guild size, requirements for different upgrades cost less or more. For instance, just an example not actual suggestion with gold being the currency, for a bank upgrade for a 10 man guild, they should make it say 100 gold while a 100 man guild should make it 1000 gold or something like that.
I don’t know, maybe something like that.

As the title suggests….

So with the new update coming to guilds, I thought of a proposition. With everyone wanting to get a guild hall and such what about guilds that don’t have as many people as the bigger ones? For instance, my group of friends and I have a tight nip guild with our numbers maxing at literally 9. My question is is how will this impact our ability to upgrade our guild hall? I’m guessing it will take even longer than “6 months” to complete it as we lack the manpower to farm all the necessary resources and materials. This worries me as I don’t want to HAVE to recruit new people just so we can build a place of our own. I am however, not worried about the acquisition of the guild hall as I heard Colin say that with 3 skilled players, capturing it is possible. I would like to hear your thoughts.

Yea, I checked, I don’t use 7.1 surround. Is there anything else that might impact it?

During cinematics like the talking during the personal story or the cutscene during the BWE where Rytlock says “I’m back”, I can’t hear any dialogue. I can hear everything else just fine except for the words the characters say. Is there a fix to this?

Can anyone tell me what bow this sylvari is using?

I believe many people have already gotten to many of the points I would have brought up. I think one that I would like to see is skill 5 on the staff be an evade and maybe thrust us up and give us more vertical takeoff. It just doesn’t make sense to me if I’m 6ft in the air and a small little hyena or something is still biting my ankles damaging me. It would also make sense as an evade because of the gap closer. It would be pretty awesome to see a DD flip over like a lava font (evading it completely in mid air) and going in for the kill. Also, adding more vertical take off would give us greater mobility so we could leap onto high platforms and stuff of that nature (personal preference). Finally I think the aa should be faster and a lot smoother. Seems to ridged and stuff.

Does anyone else not hear Rytlock when he says his line during the cinematic or is it just me? If so, does anyone know how to fix it? This “bug” has been happening to alot of the cinematics for me…

Hi, currently I am trying to make my sylvari guardian’s armor similar to that of the pale tree’s color. I am trying to add depth to my character in that she is one of the Pale Tree’s strongest children and is sent to combat the coming mordrem and Mordremoth in decked out bad*** armor. Anyway I hope to dye it similar to the Avatar’s color. Any input is appreciated!

I’ll take a look at tweaking the sword AA animations to feel smoother.

Thats it! I now DEMAND for the next revenant specialization to be ROY!!!!

Anyone else think the sword AA looks weird?

No…. just…. no.

I can honestly say I think thieves will get the staff. Think about the specialization name and profession name for a second. Thief, what would go along with the theme of the profession? Perhaps something like Beggar or Vagabond.

Just as the title asks. Which would you prefer at this point?

Already confirmed that the npc charcters will take the role of the new elite specs. Braham will be a dragonhunter in HoT, that’s why he has a bow. And Marjory already has a Greatsword.

Source?

Marjory has been confirmed to be a reaper when HoT was announced. Braham is speculated to be a dragonhunter based on artwork showing him with a bow (and a Eir-ish one at that).

Although yes that seems to be apparent with the DE 2.0 characters, it is still not a confirmation, just mere speculation…

Did anyone else notice how Braham was holding a bow in the HOT purchase picture? If you think about it, it would make sense seeing as how dragon hunters are using bows and Eir has a long bow. Besides, I believe that HOT will be a little darker than the rest of GW2 and to introduce this new type of setting, they would perhaps start with the death of a beloved member of Destiny’s Edge…

To find the picture, go to services, my account, and just look at the HOT “buy now” picture.

Kidel.2057:

As far as I’d love class-specific sets, you can equip revenant armor on any other heavy armored class. It’s similar to Guardian shoulders/helm. I’ve seen Warriors with those.
I also believe it’s just something for the character creation preview, and how the skin is obtained will probably have nothing to do with Revenant (maybe just HoT related)

I pretty much addressed that but pretty much yeah.

As we all know, the revenant that awesome distinctive heavy armor. My concern is while we as the player base can often associate the revenant with said armor set what will other professions get? Are they being left out or are they being compensated via the unlockable equipment from the specializations? I know that we can transmutate our armors so that a warrior has the “revenant armor” or even a guardian. But the thing is, it just looks so distinctive on a revenant…

What happens if two revenants use the skill at the same time? I’m imagining one of those dust balls that form when two cartoon characters get into a fight =O

Can we get templates please? One thing I loved so much about gw1 is that I was able to be so diverse with my build yet I could easily switch between my builds without having to memorize and reconfigure every skill that I needed to. I think It will help a lot of players who are trying to create new builds as they can quickly switch back to their original build if they decide to.

So I read the article on changing skill points and what not and realized, isn’t this all pointless? We already use our skill points to buy Miyani’s materials so what is the point of having spirit shards if they do the same thing? Or did I misinterpret the article entirely. Can someone explain please.

Like the title says. I want to create another char but not sure which class…. help please and why.

Can someone tell me why the majority of players believe that the new thief specialization will have a rifle? I understand many people saw the norn carrying a rifle in the Heart of Thorns trailer however, one must consider that there are three medium armor classes.
That being said, the ranger can be counted out as it has been confirmed they will become the druid. This still leaves the engineer and the thief. I can understand how many will argue that the character carrying the rifle was wearing a mask looking like a thief but remember that engineers can also equip ANY headpiece that is considered medium armor. For instance, the emblazoned helmet can be equipped on both engineers and thief alike.

Can someone tell me what can be considered a good or at least consistent crit chance for a thief? Right now I have 79-81% crit chance on mine and feel like I’m over shooting it big time.

Holy crap that’s actually really great, how much is your ferocity?

My ferocity is 761 so im not sure if that would be balanced… I still feel really weak when I play my thief

Thanks for the advice

I know it replaced final thrust, I still think it looks weird

Anyone else think the third attack in the sword main hand attack chain looks strange?

Considering the pact now lacks 1/5th (an estimate) of its troops because of the sylvari’s “betrayal”, don’t you think that the pact would try to fill its ranks with new soldiers? I believe tengu because consider the proximity the Dominion of Winds is in relations to the Grove.
Also, if anyone watches Wooden Potatoes, he released a video detailing how Arena net gave his account a level 80 sylvari automatically. Given this information, say people chose to play as tengu, it could be a possibility that you insta level to 80 so the players could hop in on all the new content automatically. Although, the insta level 80 is less than likely.

Slcrisis.6930:

Nice upperclass thief lol pulled that off quite well

Trying to break away from trench coats, ty anet for making a chest piece that isn’t a buttcape. Inspired by the Final Fantasy judges look and this is the closest to full “armour” I could get :>

what is the chest piece? Its really awesome!

Im not sure anyone knows this because I haven’t seen that many people actually use this technique besides me and a few of my friends. The point of the attack is to increase the distance in which you can successfully hit and land a HS (heart seeker). It involves a small bit of knowledge with the thief and a sort of “feel” for the thief’s steal ability. What you have to do is use heart seeker from a distance in which you know it will not land but before the animation finishes, use steal. This is where the experience with steal comes in. If you are too far away when you use steal, it won’t teleport you to your target, it will only end the animation. However, if you know the distances of both skills, time is correctly, and practice the end product will be a heart seeker which starts about 1500 away from the target and successfully lands you next to the target ready to be burst down. I find it helpful especially in pvp where im 1v1ing someone and they see me use my HS too soon but are then surprised to see me next to them hammering away. Again, not sure if people know about this as I feel its a fun little trick thieves can utilize. I am not sure if this is a bug or not as I have been using this since launch. Hope it helps!

One more =) Still need a new chest…

I plan on getting new chest piece…

Simple, but I like it!

I bet it is a male Asura. After all, in my opinion, I would like to see the group (Rox, Braham, Marjory, and Kasmeer) be balanced out in a gender way because right now, women rule. Not that it’s a bad thing.

So, I have completed most of the requirements for my legendary like the gift of mastery most of the gift of incinerator (minus gift of metal) but i have yet to finish gift of magic and get spark. I was wondering if it would be better to just farm to get enough gold to get incinerator off the TP or just continue trying to finish it by myself. Thanks

Since were getting a fractal of the previous molten alliance factory, will we get some azurite nodes to mine? please!

Ok so as most players know, the only places you can see marjory and kasmeer are in the separate instances that are the nightmare chambers. Honestly, i think that isnt a good way to put such awesome characters. These two characters have been responded to by the community in a positive way and to me, it was kind of a let down to see so little of them this patch. Instead, i would rather have them helping players clear each level instead of just putting them in a separate instance where they don’t get seen at all. To me, it was like they never even existed in the first place.
I know a lot of people will say “well, there are 3 levels and 2 characters, i doesn’t make any sense to split them up.” Well keep in mind that Braham and Rox were there too and they could be helping clear the levels too. Eg. Braham and Rox on first level, Kasmeer and Marjory on second level, and the players take the third level themselves. I really like the characters that were developed in the living story and wish i could see more of them.

I love both characters! they have an amazing back story and their appearances are stunning. My favorite about them is the skills they have. When they fight and use the different skills, the visual effects and movement is amazing. i love how they dont have the default NPC hack and slash animation.

good idea! thanks

So I bought the anti toxin spray with 25 skill points and all my skill points just vanished. i had like 156 or something and all of a sudden, gone! anyone else get this issue?

Who remember Vizunah Square from gw1? that was a perfect way to tie in the character from ascalon in gw1 to the ones in cantha. I dont see why they cant do that with the tengu. Think about it, say were going after primordius (chose him because in Edge of Destiny, his champion was right near rata sum and the DoW is close enough) and we need back up, so the pact start knocking on the door of the DoW and out come angered tengu. They then say we are never going to help you and stuff and then shut the door on our face. (everything before this would be the beginning of the tengu personal story) So the Pact, who have engaged the forces of primordius in the jungle, are starting to get wrecked left and right while the tengu are watching from the great wall. Then one tengu decides to help but others try stopping him. This leads to a civil war in which the player (also apart of the personal story) must assassinate a tengu leader so they can start helping the pact. After all that is done, they join the pact and help destroy the dragon primordius. How does that sound?

and for those who havent played gw1 and dont know what vizunah square is
