Guild Wars 2

Same issue here

Same issue here

I love the female gs animation. I have the shortest, skinniest human females, & they should look like they’re lugging around a huge, heavy weapon.
They’re kind of like suprising little underdogs, that pack a punch.

Can’t port to a new map without being completely kicked from game almost every time (since last update).
Edit: cannot port into Mt. Maelstrom at all. Can’t even walk into it from another map.

I’ve noticed lately that guild influence is not working correctly.
Login influence is only applied sometimes, at random. Many days it doesn’t register at all….
Event completion/participation is the same.
This is screwing me pretty good. My small guild needs all the influence it can get. (and yes I do buy influence for it also)

Any word on what’s happening to superior siege creation with the upcoming changes to skill points? Did I miss anything on that?

Maybe they should just add a tab to the siege vendor for it & make it purchase-able with both silver and badges?

We’ve been asking for customizable UI for 3 years… and counting…

my wallet is chompin at the bit for a new gem store Armor set…..

Doggie.3184:

I actually wish they’d just increase everyones’ movement by 25% and remove all the signets and passives that raise movement.

^This

No matter how fast they set the base speed, someone will always say it takes too long to run places. Some won’t be happy until they can click anything in line of sight, even across the whole map, and be there instantly.

I believe the speed is set where it is for game design reasons, making it not too sludgy to get places but also giving time to see the world. Not to mention it keeps our characters from looking like the Road Runner with pinwheels for legs.

Hogwash. I’m perfectly happy when I’m on my perma-swift toons running around. Then I’m oh so sad when I switch to a toon without it.

I agree with you. I think that the fact we have to either buck up oodles of gold for a not really useful rune to increase run speed, or use skills or traits to not be a turtle, is just silly. I would like to get from here to there today. Yet, I get why this is. It’s called gold sink. When you need to get somewhere fast, they want you to wp so you use your in game cash. Simple as that. But it’s annoying as all get out.

plz change back, ty

I for one, have Bifrost. I would love to have a Bifrost themed Scepter and and Bifrost themed Focus.
I’m sure ‘Anet’ has already designed the new Legendary’s but, I offer a suggestion just in case (or for the future). Instead of trying to come up with ‘whole new crazy ideas’ for Legendary weapons….

Make each weapon in the game available with the current Legendary effects:

~A line of weapons; (staff), scepter, focus, GS, sword, hammer, pistol, Sbow, Lbow, mace, rifle, dagger – with the exact same effects as Bifrost.
~A line of weapons with the same effects as Juggernaut…
~Twilight….
etc.
I would like to add that they should have made Volcanus a Legendary effect. I would like to see this happen, as well as, factoring in my above selection.
I realize this may kitten some people off but, it’s just a suggestion

As an alt-aholic, after about a year with no new toons, I recently bought 2 new slots & alls I have to say is WOW. This trait system is the worst I’ve ever seen in 10 years of gaming.
I leveled 1 toon with, tomes, crafting, & a touch of eotm.
The 2nd, will stay where it is for now and not be played. And she’s totally ghimped, lacking traits….
I want to buy more slots but, I will not buy another slot until the system is fixed.
What a horrible experience leveling is now. Hitting a level means nothing & feels completely unrewarding.
at least REVERT for now…..

ps. and yeah the word ghimped is misspelled due to filter. How is that a bad word…?

I stopped playing engi a loooong time ago bcs of hobosack. Nor, will I ever play the class again bcs of same.
It’s ugly, plain and simple.

No more nerfs!!! Stop asking for nerfs on kitten.
Buff

DeWolfe.2174:

Anet really dropped the ball when it comes to social grouping in this game. Worlds should have been the most important social classification in game. Guilds unfortunately lessened our Worlds significance. Then the Mega Server reduced World importance to near nothing. The only World identities come from a small percentage of WvW players.

The least Anet can do, for those players who have been loyal to one world, is some form of a buff. Some extra Magic find or a title or something.

Would love a chicken tonic

Basaltface.2786:

No personal touch= dont care

Only 4 colour slots= dont care

Cant even have the headgear as a standalone skin\mixable with my armor= dont care

I play a game with a wardrobe for skins and the freedom to mix em as i kittening please (within the weight class obviosly)
.i however start to question why we even got such an extensive skin collection in the bank to display and a fantastic way to replace skins when we barely get new material to work with…or the 3 weight classes or class “theme” in general.

^^this

Bunnikk.2146:

I enjoy outfits. I would rather that they continue to add armors to the GAME and outfits to the GEMSTORE.

Yes, my Sylvari’s hair clips through, but it clips through most things, so do my Asura’s ears but I rarely wear head pieces. My only wish is that I could not show the shoulders like I can not show the helm.

No, I would rather pay for armor sets than be forced to play content I don’t like in order to earn them.
I def agree with the shoulder wish though. Right now, I have swans on my shoulders…….. >.>
I bought the outfit only bcs I was desperate for a new look :/

Kruhljak.2705:

Would’ve been nice if they could’ve come up with a couple other little things to do for the daily (if not just for kicks) for those who don’t like DB-style minigames.

YES to raids.
And for those that don’t want/like them. Guess what? You don’t have to do them

Plz let us throw ascended rings into the forge for at least a chance at different stats or maybe a random infused ring!

Viking.1950:

I would like to see a toggle between the two systems. As I understand it so far the new mastery system will have you choose what your mastery “exp” is going towards. Why not also allow it to be set to skill point acquisition as an option. This way you have more flexibility but you also have to make a choice. You cant progress both at the same time. So it shouldn’t suffer in any way from being OP.

Choice is always better

Reeeeally hoping for something having to do with alliances in expac (or before).
Personally, what I really mean by that is Alliance Chat. And I’ve heard some ppl suggest being able to do guild missions etc together, which would be a nice addition, especially for small guilds who want to remain small.
Limit could be 5, just like the amount of guilds you’re allowed to be in.
When you sign on, you just /a and get to chat with everyone in your alliance in one tab. Would also be a tick-box option.
They have this in other games, and with such a lacking chat box in gw2, this would be a pleasing addition to the game.

Am I missing something or does “more powerful infusions” sound like a need for more Upgrade Extractors, or new gear….

Listenbird, I usually like your posts but…..

• Watchwork set (could we nerf the sprockets already so that people can buy tools based purely on looks and not efficiency?)

NO
I have bought 5 of these things and I would NOT be ok with that.

The problem is that, aside from the home instance sprocket generators (which not a lot of people have), there’s no way to produce an adequate flow of sprockets into the game for people that want to use them for recipes.

What they should do, which I’ve felt since this one came out, is buff the other sets.
Definitely, one of them should give out an occassional azurite orb because the prices on them are rediculous. I was thinking that one could give out Ambrite chunks or something and I’m sure others could come up with some additional themed ideas for them.

If the set would cost 3,000 gems, I do not see a need for this at all. Much rather have all of them available individually 24/7/365. This way we can have player choice instead of being stuck with a set.

I agree with this, even though I did buy a gageteer set, but that was because it was too good a deal to pass up.

I like this idea +1

Glad this thread has been resurrected. Really desperate for some UI freedom

Hair Kit & Makeover:
A ton more choices for hair piece colors.
In fact I’d love to be able to click on something that literally brings up my personal dye panel color choices. I don’t care how complicated that is, I want it lol

I agree. I’m getting tired of having to grind out pve to get the stuff that I want in this game :/

obastable.5231:

Does the expansion:

- address scoring problems
- fix population and coverage imbalances
- give better rewards for scouting and defending
- give better rewards for WvW in general
- support GvG in any way that doesn’t at all involve the restricted constraints of sPvP?

A map is nice, but also pointless if it doesn’t fix the issues that have caused you to lose enough population to make it pointless having more than 1 (sometimes 2) maps on all but a handful of servers during their prime times or on ANY server during off hours.

^this
A new map may be nice but, it’s kinda low on my totem pole.
The list above plus ~ fixing 2 year old bugs, and adding some kind of raid UI/Party system are where it’s at for me.

Osu.6307:

Note from the Heart of Thorns discussion – “Holding objectives is now a bigger component of victories in WvW”

Thanks a lot, anet, for giving us the opposite of what we have been asking for.

Actually, a lot of people have been asking for a more rewarding defense experience.

We’ve been advised by an Anet GM: If you can target him, right-click & report him for “Botting”.

Ty to the anet ‘WvW Police’ for what you are doing Both, the invisible and the seen.

sephiroth.4217:

+1 to most of those suggestions…
Alot of WvW guilds/players always say they only log on for their guild raids/friends so as it stands it’s only the community that’s holding WvW together apparently….

^ so true

One of the reasons eotm sucks so much is because of the mega server format there.
In real wvw, you have server identity. This forms friendships, guilds, wvw guilds etc.
These people are then able to use a server-based teamspeak, and communicate and coordinate together in an effort to function like a team and retain a sportsmanship-like loyalty towards each other. They can also improve their game play this way. (which the majority of are interested in doing)
In EotM, these conditions cannot be replicated. Especially when you are thrown in a world together with a bunch of people whom you may consider rivals or even long time enemies. (At the very least, strangers.)
EotM is a mish mosh, mystery soup environment, lacking effective communication or sense of loyalty towards one another. Many people there are seriously unskilled, or just don’t care about anything other than ktrain. No one there cares about PPT. (which wvw was originally designed around) They don’t want to learn how to wvw even if you had an effective communication tool. The only thing that can happen there is ktrain, or random skilled wvw guild groups steamrolling said ktrain.
I’m not hating, this is fine how it stands. I have used EotM myself to ktrain, and have used it to level toons in the past. I’m perfectly fine with that.

However, even if you tried to institute a color-based teamspeak system, it would fail without dedicated people, willing to continually organize/run/police said system. And then, who would pay for it? There may or may not be random donations made to keep it running. Lacking any sense of “server loyalty”, I doubt there would be consistent donations or efforts of organization/policing etc.
There would also be a potentially severe increase in TS trolling/hacking that no one would want to deal with. Most server-based TS’s are somewhat secure and monitored, or at least have a system to deal with spies/trolls. This is virtually impossible to replicate in an EotM world.
Also, with such large, generic, wvw populations, how would a world color host/coordinate wvw training events and things of that nature? These types of events are common place on many servers. Again, fostering a sense of teamwork, loyalty, & potentially developing friendships.
I’m not sure if you understand just how in-depth wvw-by-server is.
There’s so much more I could say but, this is enough lol

So……. no loyalty, no pride, no effective communication, no fostered learning environment, and a good sized portion of the population who couldn’t give a kitten less.
This would kill wvw altogether, guaranteed.

also might deter higher tier servers from tanking on purpose to steamroll below. nothin wrong w that

There should be an option for a 2nd bar for consumables (which should include siege.)

Sparks The Rescue.5043:

Hyori.3624:

Usually when ANET does something like this they are planning better gathering tools but want players to spend their gems so they can purchase more gems.

Quoted for truth. I will put money on this, come PAX South / LS they will reveal an entire new line of harvesting tools that give something similar to the watchwork tools, and everyone will rush to buy them because they give x items upon gathering.

I’m getting ready for this then >:D

Hyori.3624:

Usually when ANET does something like this they are planning better gathering tools but want players to spend their gems so they can purchase more gems.

Not sure what you mean by “better”. I don’t like any of the newer ones. They’re just odd. I think they take design too far with these things.
That’s why I said “all”, because I was able to get the ones I wanted. Namely, the watchwork mining pick, but also chop-it-all logging axe and consortium harvesting sickle. Old style lol
If, by better, you mean a new mining pick that harvests with the chance to gain ambrite or azurite or something like that, I would be very interested & would def purchase more gems for that lol
I know it’s a heated topic for some but, I would buy that in a heartbeat (as long as it was in the gem store long enough for me to work it in >.>)

I just wanted to thank you guys for bringing ALL of the permanent harvesting tools back to the gem store, but even more, for keeping them there for longer than a couple of days.

I’m saying a little prayer that they are there permanently now.
pretty pleeeeeeeez

I’ve already gotten 2 more tools and I’m planning on buying gems again this weekend so that I can get another.

Again thank you for giving me the time to plan, which resulted in me actually purchasing gems with rlm for items in the gem store, along with a plan for more purchases in the near future.
This is the model that, imo, you should be using for most gem store items. It allows people to work gem purchases into their personal financial plan.
cheers!

I am currently trying to complete the Treasure Hunter collection.
Unfortunately for me, some events are required to spawn certain merchants that I need, and those events are bugged.
I personally went to do the events myself and then ended up having to look them up because they didn’t seem to be working/spawning.
The links are to the Wiki pages. If you scroll down to the bottom, the bugs are explained.

Protect krewe leader Dobbs as the krewe clears the excavation site. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Protect_krewe_leader_Dobbs_as_the_krewe_clears_the_excavation_site
Protect Scholar Breandan while he examines the seabed near Broken Spit

Also, while I was there, the WP was contested and absolutely no attacks were happening to defend.

added: I got dobbs from showing up right after a patch fix and waiting for the event to start. (I read to try that somewhere)

It’s not like keys are expensive. First thing i did was throw a stack of 100 keys to my home instance parked alt, the one that does the daily node mining. Now he’s got one more node per round, and i’ve got 100 days to remember to send him more keys before he runs out…

So, you can collect the chest for 100 days then….
All of my nodes are forever, no assembly required.
And when no ones in the silverwastes any more?

Then it’ll take slightly more effort to refresh the stock? Every SW event rewards crests. It’s dead easy to solo a keep and to follow with the rubble event, and you get 30 crests out of it i believe? Or i’ll stop bothering, who knows. It’s not like it’s a gem store item, we got that for free, as an additional gizmo.

edit: of course rubble event follows defense, not capture. Point still stands, but duh!

I do not want to continually be forced to play old content, potentially by myself, on a toon that I have earmarked for other things on the complete other side of the world, just to be able to keep opening that chest.
This also requires extra, full price porting, negating the profit from the chest.
If I had known that it would b like this, I never would have bothered with the story at all.
I have the crystallized node & the candy corn node in my instance. Both were worth the time & energy I spent to get them, because they don’t cost me something additional in order to harvest them.

Jim Hunter.6821:

Along with this they should give a trait vendor that lets you pay with karma and/or badges.

There’s been so many good ideas out there for WvW vendors. I hope anet adds some of them.

Ya, that freaked me out for a sec when I first noticed it.
I like your sorting suggestion OP. That would b nice

You forgot Sup Rune of the Centaur.
Many people run this rune set on their mesmers.
Simply activate “auto attack” on your heal skill, or do it manually if you choose.
I do admit that this rune set doesn’t offer much else but, my mes runs it and she’s still quite a cannon.

In addition, something that I either bought, or worked to earn for my home instance should not require something additional from the outside to function. Just like the rest of what I have in there….

I’m very disappointed in the way they set this up.
What happens when the ‘thrill’ of this content is gone and it’s harder to get keys. The chest then becomes pointless.
Also, the toon I did the silverwastes & story on are not the same toon that I use to collect in my home instance. So, now I have to port to silverwastes, play content to get keys, port to wvw to put keys in bank, switch toons, port to bank, grab the keys, port to home instance & port back….. Unless I’m missing something, that’s dumb.
And I’m not going to park a toon in my home instance. I use all 10 of my toons.
All of this porting around negates any profit from the chest.
seriously disappointing
