Guild Wars 2

Could the mini be made into a hungry cat like the broom-summoned one? (It’s not hungry at the moment.)

Beautiful, isn’kitten
[Hmm.. contraction + it]

Supposedly they increased the number of people that can be in an arena from 20 to 25. Since there was a max of 10 people per team, this basically allowed for more spectators.

However, the reserved spots is still maxed out at 20. It was not increased to 25. Hence, you cannot reserve all the spots for your guild or friends or whomever at the present time.

Wow, it finally actually dropped! So, no bug, just incredibly unlucky.

TY

Hi,

Did the upgrade for the guild hall but the recipe does not appear in scribing.

Thank you.

Hi,

Perhaps I am just very unlucky, but I’m pretty sure that I’ve killed Ulgoth at least a dozen times and this item for the collection to get the recipe to craft the mechanical orchestra has yet to drop. Bugged?

Thank you!

same thing here

Daredevil
Very fun to play. It did feel different from the regular way I play my thief in that I was dodging more on purpose. Loved the lotus dodging and the elite skill. Will probably not go ‘complete’ Daredevil skills as I probably want at least one stealth skill.

Herald
Felt different. Liked playing it. Liked the symbols underneath showing the facets currently up. Using AoE regen and swiftness was great for guildies on a Guild Rush.

Berserker
Loved the torch. Liked the new F mechanic. Not completely sold on the skills. Felt I’d be better off running some of the old skills. Noticed that I got a torch with the Berserker. Not just a skin, but a torch with the new look. A torch that was ascended. A one-handed torch that had two sigil slots and two infusion slots. Not sure if the double slots were an error or not. If not, then something needs to be fixed as I did not have an option as to which sigil to overwrite as sigil slotting was working as for a one slot item (no choice) and not a two slot item (choice as to where the new sigil goes).

Thank you!

Thank you very much for the Beta weekend and the four Beta character slots.

I’d say that I am getting a new experience on all the toons, which adds to enjoyment. The Dragonhunter F-skills and weapon probably feels the least different out of the four, but the traps do feel different.

I tried ‘pure’ new builds. That is, full new wells, traps, shouts; rather than a mix with old skills. As such, although I would like to use the new set for the joy of the newness and for ‘thematic’ reasons, in WvW I didn’t feel as competent as with a mix. The reason is that I would be lacking in personal healing, or stability, or ‘escapability’, etc.

The mastery info and use was much better than the last time I was in Beta. Kudos. With more than one Beta toon, I notice that things are synched across toons so that there won’t be any wasted XP in leveling up masteries. If I select a specific mastery to work on on one toon and log into another; that new toon—even if it had a different mastery selected to level up when it logged out—is switched to whatever the previous toon had as its latest mastery selection. And the mastery XP bar is at the same number on all toons.

I saw that Tomes of Knowledge when used at level 80 just give the Spirit Shard and do not additionally level up the Masteryt XP bar—something I thought was going to be true but wanted to check to be sure.

I would have liked to see how many Hero Points elite specializations are going to cost so I could be sure I’d have all I needed across toons before HoT comes out.

All for now. Once again, thank you very much. Hope all of you have a great time at work and in game.

Hi,

Especially with Elite Specializations coming out with HoT, it would be nice to have an item—I assume sold in the gem store—to reset your hero points.

(Was thinking in particular of the case of someone who put points in everything from leveling, but doesn’t have the points for the new elite specialization and wouldn’t mind losing some skills and/or specializations to pick up the new stuff.)

Thanks

If we use tomes to level the toon and equip it with gear, bag expansion slots, … will we either get those ‘refunded’ / not used up, or will we be able to keep the toon (respecting any changes made to skills, etc.) come launch, or will we be able to auto-level it to 80, …?

[I’d like to test it in WvW, but as a geared level 80 and not an upleveled level 1 toon with minimal skills and traits (specializations).]

Thank you

Hi,

The panel is improved from what it was in the last Beta in terms of being clearer, but could still use a little more clarity.

I thought the XP bar was close to full but not rolling over (expecting it to automatically put in the ability and use the mastery point and roll over to 0 again). After another event, I realized it actually was full and not rolling over, went to the panel, and clicked to spend the point, and then the bar went back to 0.

Thanks

Thank you very much for the opportunity to take part in the Beta. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to experiencing more of the expansion.

I agree that the flamethrower aiming could use some work as I faced forward then ended up shooting sideways, for example.

I also feel that the Mastery UI could be improved to be more understandable / intuitive.

Same thing here. Created before patch; was in bank; …

Yeah, one of the griefers from last week is again wasting our supply too (on Yaks side—BPBL).

Just to be clear, two rank 10s would produce a rank 17, not 16; and two rank 5s would produce a rank 7, not rank 6.

I also preferred the old trait.

I am also experiencing this.

Getting the lag and disconnects again.

Same here. Also southern Ontario.

ArenaNet, take a look at my account and see how much I’ve spent on gems. That being said, I am AGAINST this type of gear progression that was not what GW2 was supposed to be about.

It’s not just a little, it adds up. In the example with the two rings, 50-48=2 + 18-15=3 ==+5 to Power and to Precision on one piece. With all armor pieces, weapons, trinkets, … it could be +70. If allowed in WvW, that is an advantage.

Then what happens when the same people get all that gear and want more gear progression? Another set again?

I realize this is most likely futile as you’ve announced it and will go ahead in the light of getting more money from the players who want a gear progression, but a big reason I got this game was that I was really tired of that.

Boo, boo, boo.

Since the jumping puzzles provide siege equipment which can be used to a server’s advantage in WvW, getting it for your server and preventing others from getting it by setting up siege can be akin to setting up siege in a supply camp to get supplies for your side and deny them to the other side. It is quite valid strategy and in no way ‘trolling’.

Guild Wars took a long time to load/start, but seems to be working.
Played Guild Wars 2 from start and was fine this morning and afternoon. This evening I’ve been getting the error 7 disconnect over and over.
I am in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Everything else seems fine (Ventrilo, Mumble, Firefox, …).
I have tried 2 ISPs (Rogers and Bell—different modems…); both get the disconnects.
So, roughly 7 – 10 pm Eastern.

Same. Also Ottawa. Tried 2 different ISPs. Vent, Mumble, Browser, etc. fine.
