Guild Wars 2

Khristophoros.7194:

Not posting in the ele forum because it affects everyone.

The ice bow 4 overshadows every other AoE skill in the game. This isn’t even the “damage” conjure. It’s the one that grants bonus healing power. -_-

If you’re trying to add more diversity to the meta, especially PvE, you have to actually balance the game. One profession can’t be far and above all the others in damage.

The 4 should be totally replaced with a heal. This is the water weapon, not the fire weapon.

Fire Axe should be better somehow. Never seen anyone bring it to a serious group. I don’t even know what it does but it obviously sucks.

so im about 2 upgrade my greatsword but idk shud I get a vulcanus or a foefire essence both are pretty smexy which one is your favorite?

Volcanus isn’t that great after a while, it losing its charm

Greymelken.1892:

SAB time is the only time except April Fools Day when I refuse to play gw2. its far too immersion breaking for my tastes. Keep your SAB, thank you Anet for not forcing me to endure it lately.

You are a disgusting human being

I’ll pay for it

I’ll pay for it

Duka.5864:

No Dude you have torrents now it is free!

I love you guys

kitten the expansion, SAB is better

Bloodsrain.9132:

Everyones angry, and I agree with them.

Old players SHOULD GET SOMETHING if they’re paying for the base game, and the expansion, when a new player only has to pay for the base game.

I payed 40 dollars for this game.

Now, I need to pay another 50, and someone who hasn’t bought the game only has to pay 50.

Show your support with your wallet, people, DO NOT BUY THIS EXPANSION if you you feel this isn’t right. Bad business is bad business. I love GW, I have been a fan of it for years, but this is low as hell, and its mostly because they’re bagging on the original players. If it was 50 dollars, and it gave things to Original players to make up for it, like a character slot, the extras, ect, then i’d be fine, but, this is just scummy. People say its the cold world of economics, but economics ain’t always right. Vote with your wallet.

They pulled an Activision

Denali.6523:

Yeah it is for everyone with SweetFX. You need to either delete your bin folder or temporarily move the SweetFX files out of the bin folder. Then your game will be able to start up again. (Seen this in the Account & Technical Support section of the forum.)

removing the sweetfx files from bin isn’t temporary, it won’t start if you put them back

wasted.6817:

Yeah, it’s because of SweetFX/GemFX. Those do not work now, which sux.

The game is now unplayable

Corvus.5836:

I’d like to read some community speculation!
If the Xpac culminates into finally taking down the big bad dandelion what format will the fight be in?
Zhaitan was in a dungeon story mode but as we’ve heard around in the recent past, the Anet dungeon team is no more. And I’m of the mind that having it be a map wide event just wouldn’t make sense. Does this mean personal instance format like we’ve seen in Living Story episodes?

Mordremoth is in the expansion after the next one

gaspara.4079:

While I agree the sacks are ugly and make the engi less desirable they serve a fairly important purpose that ANet would need to solve to remove them. Due to the number of different kits ,the different playstyles and abilities of each, and the speed with which engis can switch between them, it is important that a large obvious visual queue as to which kit is currently in use is important for pvp balance reasons.

Therefore I would suggest you make your suggestion around some sort of fairly large hand based indicator for each kit. Each one would need to be large and unique enough to be easily seen and recognized from at least 1500 range. My concern is that grenades and bandages are not really that big, so either you will have an obnoxiously large, goofy looking grenade/bandage for those kits or you will need to find some other obviously connectable symbol.

Yeah, the visual que is your skill bar changing. huuurrrdurrrrrrrr

Moldur.6275:

Vieux P.1238:

Like the questions says, do you think prior to release to HOT, ANet should have a big pool of players Fully Beta test the game b4 it’s release? & i don’t mean open week-ends. I mean hardcore beta test.

Playtesters would beta test to check every aspect of the game. Make sure it gives us the WoW factor when it comes out. Would (Pve, WvsW & Spvp) To check balance & exploits & ect.. & especially to fan out whats fun & what’s not fun to play. I mean if there’s some aspect of the game prior to beta test that playtesters comments on some parts of the game that are just simply to dull to play, i mean why not take advantage of that? Give Anet the chance to add, cut or make changes before release to make sure upon release they have a great game.

Any comments?

Too heavy beta-testing results in the players getting “done” with the content before release.

That’s why there’d be a cap so we don’t all play at once.

Siphaed.9235:

If you’re that impatient, then you’re in for a longhaul as the expansion doesn’t release until……I’m guessing August. That’s 6 months from now.

more like 8 months

FrizzFreston.5290:

Not sure why I need to quote this again, because looking for information on the Main Heart Of Thorn release pages isn’t that hard. Here’s a quote and link to the source for those who haven’t read it yet.

FYI, It says Maps, which is plural of map. Map being 1 map. Maps being more than 1 map. I mean, come on now. No reason to be deliberately obtuse.

New adventures await you in the heart of the Maguuma Jungle. Confront the growing hordes of Mordremoth’s minions, discover allies from ancient civilizations, and battle new enemies.

• Tackle challenging group content.
• Explore new open world jungle maps.
• Experience new events and storylines.
• Test your mettle in new boss battles.

Link: https://heartofthorns.guildwars2.com/en/?_ga=1.251803535.767515840.1350500849#section-heartOfMaguuma

Also the main reveal has been entirely transcribed. (You who did, or is doing so: You’re insane, but thanks anyway!) Just a few quotes from that:

Now as Mo [Mike O’Brien] said earlier, the maps in the Heart of Maguuma are some of the richest, deepest content experiences that we have ever built in GW2.

As you complete exploring entire maps, you are rewarded with mastery points.

It’s 1 Pve zone like I said, they will advertise more cause they count the Wvw map and Guild halls.

1 map… many zones

“Explore new open world jungle maps”

https://heartofthorns.guildwars2.com/en

Maps. Plural.

Yeah, they will want to make it seem like there’s more, but its 1 map as Colin has said a few times.

Now I know you’re trolling.

Maybe he just doesn’t understand the difference between a map and a zone, it’s a difficult concept to grasp for some people.

“the biggest playable space we’ve made” that’s the most revealing line and what made me believe its only 1. Even though it has layers, it’s still only 1

Exroyal.9053:

Since everyone seems to be so pre-occupied with maps and compare it to Nightfall and Factions, i hope you all know how map designing and creating works. Sure we had lot’s big maps, but you seem to forget that aside from mobs, there were really nothing there. No vistas, no poi’s, no gathering nodes, no jumping puzzles, nothing. I’m willing to bet that creating Ascalon/Kryta/Shiverpeaks took more time and resources then it took to make the whole of Canthas maps.

Also, i’m pretty sure we’re getting a whole new zone. You know what a zone is? Ascalon is a zone, Kryta is a zone. How many maps do these zones cover? Ascalon covers 6 full-size maps and include a capital city. Even if it has just 2 maps, each map will have 3 layers so that makes it 6 zones. Look at the map, do you really see just 1 map there?

I’m guessing that we get 2 big maps, each with 3 layers making it the same as 6 maps. 6 maps for an expansion is just right.

Its 1 area he said it on stage, biggest playspace we’ve made. I don’t give a kitten its still only 1 map.

Jordo.5913:

Vix.6730:

Obtena.7952:

It’s a little premature to claim it’s a small expansion without seeing the content.

Colin has already stated in the Pax announcement we are getting one region comprised of three layers. Playable content wise, the release will be small. But as another poster said we are paying for a fix.

Region =/= Map

Regions are things like Kryta, Shiverpeaks, Ascalon

Kryta has 4 maps, 6 if you include the entirety of LA and Divinity’s Reach

Shiverpeaks has 5 maps, 6 if you include hoelbrek

Ascalon has 6 maps, 7 if you include Black Citadel

So it is safe to assume this new region will have 4-6 maps….along with 3 different levels for each. I would lean a bit more heavily toward 4 because of the verticality.

Then we’ll also probably get a new city hub with the Mursaat, the Golden City

It’s not a new region, we already have 70% of the maguuma region

Torsailr.8456:

Colin just said in the Post interview that the Expansion takes place immediately after the pact fleet is destroyed, as in minutes after.

I expect them to take the next month detailing the expansion. I would guess it to release in 2 months or so.

Edit: Mike just said HOT will be playable at Pax East and that will be the first time people have access to it.

Colin stated deep dives start in a couple weeks

Its actually coming out in 9-10 months

agrante.2810:

… in that golden city, half way through the trailer?

Its in the mursaat city, it couldn’t be anything else

I was sleeping during the reveal, but I’ve heard VisualWood mentioning that 3 new biomes were announced, without going into any specific.

Tell me it is not just 3 maps!

wolfyrik.2017:

I really like stealth in games and setalth sections. Except for “meeting the asura” This has to be the worst stealth section I’ve ever seen in a game, ever. A tedious mission with yet more unskippable, cheesy dialogue culminating in a long, boring boss fight which basically involves sitting around waiting for an opportunity to press the Interact key. Whoopy-frickin-doo. Dissapointment doesn’t cover it.

Player feedback:
Hey Anet, the unskippable dialogue is making the replay excessively long, could you please respect our time a little more?

Anet response:
Ah they won’t us to cut the replay time? Ok lets get rid of everything, except the dialogue.

That part was fun, you don’t have to knock out vorrp you can just fight everything and damage him twice, donedee

Yeah this is kittening pathetic

we’re not using a old thread, thanks though.

They should release a gw1 expansion where we die in a epic battle

They don’t affect the tooltip but I’m sure they’re working properly

Don’t bring it back. kitten no, most annoying kitten in the game besides elementalist wristbands.

They finally removed it?DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD x50

NornsHorn.9467:

After the patch I found Mini Eir Stegalkin very terrifying
almost scared my kitten off
These are pictures I took before
Eir’s movement was a little bit stiffly, but at least she looked like a normal person

http://i.imgur.com/HB5xy9v.png

And these are pictures of Mini Eir Stegalkin this moment
Warning: the below contents contain graphic images that some viewers may find disturbing.

http://i.imgur.com/AtxW03o.png

What the heck is this???
-Poor graphic quality, the tattoos on her arm and thigh are blur
-Skin is shinning disgustingly, like the whole body is made of plastic
-Eyes never roll now, looks extremely scary
I don’t mind she stares at me sharply, fiercely, but it is definitely not that case
If I have to find something to describe, it’s the baby dolls in horror movies that keeps gazing at you and can move their heads 180 degrees
-Skin is dull, dark as she is covered with tar
Before the patch, she is so fair even in non-snow terrains
http://i.imgur.com/FFgbEMD.png
http://i.imgur.com/9s3ourL.png

Doesn’t Eir have snowy skin??
Why did she tan after the patch??
Have she been to the Summer Islands??
This miniature was completely distorted
As an admirer of Eir I think this is unacceptable
Simply an insult to her!!!
What’s the purpose modifying the miniature??
I hereby represent all players who loves Eir Stegalkin to request Anet to restore her former appearance ASAP
You’ve done a terrible job and it’s time to fix it

See if it returns to normal if you put Character Model Quality at a higher rating

Trait still works, tooltip bug

Hey everyone,

While this is currently working as intended, it’s definitely something that we’ll be working on and tweaking in the future. We want you to be able to enjoy your minis so hang in there!

All their testers were over the age 40

Esplen.3940:

Fixed a bug allowing players to level up in PvE before reaching level 80.

Fixed a bug causing PvE to be fun after the Trait rework.

Fixed a bug that caused Arenanet to be the Developer of GW2.

Dragonic Elemental.2674:

Would be a cool change, but I think it would only be useful in very few situations, while the need to hold the skill would be annoying in every other situation.

On a side note, I once started lagging during RTL and it went on for one minute (client-side), which was the most awesome thing ever, with me racing through Gendarran Fields as the god of lightning himself. An eleite would have my +1

Meh, it’s kind of the thing heroes do. Look at commander Shepard in Mass Effect. That’s what he did too, bring races together to fight a common big bad.

Yes…. i agree.
Even in Dragon Age they always fight the same guys.
But for god sakes they write different storys.
And i actually turned it on again after not playing it for years.
It was super refreshing how much fun a game can be and how well the storys are told.
But this is another topic

A dragon didn’t pop up in GW1, no one in lore told the player about a elder dragon. We didn’t fight a dragon.

Guild wars 1 is full of Dragons.

Bone Dragons
Rot Scale
Shinny
Kuwalavange(or how ever you spell it.)
Glint
Glints child
Sea spray dragons.
They are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Elder dragon
