Guild Wars 2

Hai there!

I don’t usually post on the official forums, but I thought I would share my video here too. It’s my first or kind of second music video (of the game too that) that I made.
I hope you enjoy~

Oh, last one was taken, in that case:
#111

Daviez.4913 / Spotte

No worries You were already assigned number 98 on the first list.

Oh, sorry about that! Me dumb~ I only checked did I get #8

Oh, last one was taken, in that case:

Oi! Easter!

If not taken I would take my lucky number: #8

I wish a few honest players could get a “power” too, to have bigger effects on reported players/botters/gold sellers. Not like they could ban them, but like making a quicker way of acting against them or something similar. But I guess doesn’t matter how nice a player is, there would be always a high risk of abusing it.

After all, we players are who spot every one of these at the first place (most of the time, I guess so).
But maybe someone could come up with a good system for it. I’m not sure is such possible.

Chase.8415:

because of a small percentage of players that play the game.

Sadly small percentage, because I think we can say, that Arenanet doesn’t really “support” us roleplayers with anything. All the things they have put in the game what we use “creatively” is just simply was put in the game not really thinking much of roleplayers, in my opinion. Otherwise there would be more open houses too or similar. Otherwise there would be more roleplayer… logically.

But to be honest, the feature pack is friendly to the game and players overall, but not to roleplayers at all, no more town clothes just tonic things… and now we will just get more trolls. I don’t say much, maybe it won’t change that much, at least I hope.

I’m not saying Arenanet doesn’t “care” about role-players, but they also do not help at all.

I think it would be simple, if you could choose headgear as outfit for combat armor like it was showed in the video before, but still keep the current town clothes system instead of full “outfit” system. I don’t think there are so many problems with the current system, and I think most people would be okay with this.

Many people don’t want the “tonic” idea as “town clothes”, me neither.

So, basically my suggestion is:

• Keep the current town clothes “system” what we have already so this way we can freely mix out town clothes.
• Drop the “tonic” idea, it’s not effective in my opinion.
• Using “outfit” for headgear as combat armor could stay as an “extra” (which mean you could wear “glasses” as headgear with your combat armor).

I think there was no problem with switching between combat and non-combat armor. The wardrobe system could remain as it is, except that the “outfit part” remains how the town clothing works right now. Why take out something that works nicely already? And no I really don’t want a refund as a “fix”, I want to wear my town clothes, it’s the reason I bought them.. with gems.

No need to bash Arenanet with “RIOT! RIOT!” kind of comments. Give suggestions, this is mine. Posting mindless raging comments won’t solve neither our or their problem with this, all it does is just make us look less until they just actually won’t care about this thread.

I have never ever complained about anything in the game… or about any patch, but if I won’t be able to combine my town clothes like this: http://i.imgur.com/d3OBTg2.png

I will be seriously disappointed and angry. Seriously this tonic thing makes no sense, why ruin something what worked well about town clothes…

I’m very confused now about this wardrobe function that was introduced, somewhere I’ve read:

“Some basic clothing items that are no longer available for purchase will be converted into endless tonics.”

and:

“Yes outfits are all or nothing. Yes wearable in combat. There will be no non-combat equipment anymore, unless you count tonics.”

I understand, that there will be still these “outfits”, but.. what will be these tonics and what not? Will I still be able to mix my town cloth “skins” for the looks? I’m seriously confused and pretty worried at the moment about this.

Someone please, clarify these for me.

Rodgort & Kraitkin?

You can enter HoM regardless if you have a linked gw1 account. Theres a vendor in LA that sells HoM stones for the very cheap price of 0copper! He’s in the NW corner of LA near the vista. But yeah pretty cool idea i’d like to have a Mistfire wolf as a pet since i main a ranger

Then I guessed right that players can still get the portalstone regardless of having linked accounts…

Hello!

I had an idea what I originally posted on gw2 reddit .

So I’M talking about, that we Digital Deluxe players have the elite skill Summon Mistfire Wolf, it’s really nice, actually I really love the Mistfire wolf’s look, but the skill itself is really useless. What if we Digital Deluxe players could get it as a tamable pet, but only those.

How I think about it, it should be in Lion’s Arch, so all players who can’t reach the HoM-instance, but have Digital Deluxe can get it and tame it.

So as I knew everyone can still buy the HoM portal stone and get to the HoM instance regardless of having linked account or not. So it could be there too instead of Lion’s Arch.

For an F2 skill as a pet, it could have that cool effect where it summons puppies and they rain the targeted location, of course it would do a balanced aoe damage.

Don’t waste the Mistfire Wolf’s great look for just a skill! Make into a DD pet for rangers at least! I bet many people would love it, including me. I don’t think it’s a big thing to do, and it’s not something game breaking either. As a gw1 player I have the Black Moa and rainbow Jellyfish, and as I know no one else can get them just those who have HoM, so why would it be such a big thing to make it into a pet too for DD players?

Hello there everyone!

As I mentioned this on the guild wars 2 reddit I noticed that there is no literal “Blue Dye” currently in the game, so I was thinking funnily, what if there would be a new blue dye as “Da Ba Dee Da Ba Dye”, I think many of us get it what am I talking about, yes I know it’s funny… but actually, why not? I don’t think this would be such game ruining or apocalyptic thing.

Well, this is only I wanted to say, anyway I don’t want hate, I just made a suggestion, I think most of us likes such things like this.

I hope one day I get an Arenanet post on this.

wintermute.4096:

Because of game mechanics, and rightfully so.

If it were different, I’d just run around with 3 presummoned zerkers, port into a mob and shatterbomb everything to death instantly.

They won’t attack, cannot be used for shattering, nor you can have benefit of them because they are around you. Gamemechanics.. even the kittentiest games can do this… don’t tell me that Anet couldn’t do this easy stuff for Mesmers

You need a mind to play your trick in. Clones don’t exist and alwaya go for their target. They’re supposedly just in your opponents imagination, and you’re able to hurt them through their minds. With no enemies you can’t play the trick on your crowd.

yeah I know that, and after all why can’t I play with all the minds around me “who see them”, with this then how can Necros summon their minions if they are made from bones and stuff from rock, stones or on the street through concrete? I’m just saying that mesmers should be able to summon clones too in out of combat

2 aditiona points:

- Phantoms are the replacement of GW1 Hex. So you can’t cast a Hex on the air to punish it.

- The difference between having minions with you and being followed by 3 NPCs with your same name and appareance is that you will have an incredible advantage in PvP without blowing cooldowns in battle as your opponents won’t know what to hit.

Easy solution, it won’t be available in WvW nor sPvP

No, minions are actually summoned from underworld itself and shaped by necromancer. Thank Grenth for that.

Clones and Phantasms do not exist. They are mind tricks. With no mind to play with you don’t get them and using it on friendly NPCs is illogical.

This is silly, with this theory again then I play with my own mind too if I can see them, then why couldn’t I summon them out of combat and pretend it only I see them? Then why cam my team mates see them also if I summon them in combat?

Gaudrath.6725:

The reason is simple – with certain build you could “pre-summon” your clones and shatter your way to glory. One of Mesmer weaknesses is that they require time to set up their big effects in combat. This gives other classes time to fight them. If you could run around with your clones, first, it would be difficult to target the real mesmer giving them an advantage from the start, second you would have your big effect (confusion, damage etc.) already preloaded and ready to fire at a moment’s notice.

Like I said before, clones or phantasm summoned out of combat would do absolutely nothing (except following you and copying your emotes) and they would immediately disappear when you get in combat

LegatusLeaf.5934:

That’s a somewhat silly theory since I can summon Clones while attacking inanimate objects.

My answer as to why is simple game mechanics. The existence of your clones are tied to the life time of the target because they need to know what to kamikaze attack, and when that target no longer exists then something needs to be done with them. Not re-targeting something is a control to the amount of damage a Mesmer can do, it is a limitation that if removed could unbalance the class related to other classes. Even just letting them sit there could increase the Mesmer’s damage since they could just explode in place. And while “Mesmer Mines” sounds like a cool idea, that is kind of a thing for some of the other classes.

Out of combat clones could have a timer, like they disappear in 20 seconds, or less or more, also I think it’s not that hard to make them also disappear when you get into combat, so they would do nothing at all

Hello!

As the title says, I’m asking why can’t mesmers have their clones “summoned” while out of combat? I mean skills like decoy or the mirror images, well mostly mirror images, I know it’s require a target, but why can’t we Mesmers have our clones summoned when we are out o combat, like in a city or everywhere else, and just in combat? Necromancers can have their minions, Rangers obviously their pets, Elementalists can have their elementals or their conjure weapons, guardians can also summon their spirit weapons without being in combat, warriors can have their banners, engineer can have their turrets, Thieves can… well umm … they can be… invisible ?… out of combat?

So why we couldn’t we have our clones or even phantasm summoned while out of combat? Sometimes I just wanna use my mirror images skill and walk around with 2 clones of myself.

Edit: Summoned clones out of combat would do nothing, but follow you (or maybe copying your emotes) and would immediately disappear when you get in combat or take damage. Also they would have a timer with around 20 seconds and then they would disappear automatically.

Edit2: They couldn’t be summoned in WvW nor in sPvP, and also sigh if it wasn’t so obvious already they cannot be used for shattering or anything else. They would just simple follow you for a specific time (around 20 or maybe 30 seconds) it would a small feature to be able to summon them out of combat.

Okay, support solved my problem. Someone could close this thread or maybe delete it, no problem with it.

Hello!

Since a week now, I’m experiencing really high latency whenever I launch Guild Wars 2, but only when Guild Wars 2 is running, also it gives me a high fps lagg when I alt tab out of the game, and only since a week. I don’t know why. I’m not downloading anything, there is no problem with the ISP, I only have high latency and low fps out of the game when the game is running. I had no problem before, I could easily run a GW2 + Team fortress 2+ League of Legends together without any fps lagg or high latency, but now I can’t even browse my firefox with only one tab and I have like 1-2 fps while the game is running.

In short what problem I experience:

• High latency only during Guild Wars 2 is running, around 2-4 second delay in everything (if I exit everything goes back to normal).
• Low FPS when alt-tabbed from the game (had no problem with it before could easily run 2 other games together with GW2).
• My ping goes up to 500 ms to 2000 ms from the normal 15-20 ms in everything.

My pc:

• Graphic card: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250
• CPU: Intel® Pentium® CPU G645 @ 2.90GHz, 2893 MHz
• Motherboard: Gigabyte H61M-DS2
• RAM: 4 Gb

I have to say again, that I had no problem at all before, this popped up since a week now, I also scanned my pc for viruses or anything with two program found nothing. My drivers are updated also.

I have the same problem as described above ( Error Code: 42:6:3:2060 )

Hello!

I would like to know, that will be there some smoother “stand up”-like animations for the /sit, /kneel and /sleep emotes? Right now your character just instantly stand up, and it looks really weird. I think the Roleplayers would also appreciate this.

Hello!

Just noticed that the drinking effect on Charr (female right now) holds the drink in her right hand but drinks from the left hand, kinda funny.

Yep, bugged, can’t do anything with him

I just mine ori ores and chop ancient trees once a day and I have my 6 gold / day from it, I don’t even do anything else to farm, and I still see people complaining about “I need to farm/grind to get money”

Here lies Clana Darkfire
Her last words:
“Okay guys, let’s do this! LEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOOY…”

“Here lies Clana Darkfire, she lived long, but she died in a … oh wait she is back again”

Vol.5241:

Even if they did not allow it, how would they know that you didn’t go through with it? And will they be able to make the argument that the tattoo looks exactly like their dragon’s and thus copies their intellectual property?

On an unrelated note, are you sure you want to make a perma tattoo of a dragon? What if you end up not liking the game? It’s like having a Tattoo of some boss in Aion or SWTOR ;P

Well there is still nothing in the world for me that I loved and I hate it now, except for some foods but dragon are something else, I freakin love them, also as a beginner digital artist I love the gw2 art style too, this is just too perfect for me.

Also thanks for the answers

Hello everyone!

I don’t know where to post this, it’s kinda GW2 related so I think it’s fine here, if I posted in the wrong section excuse me. So, well… if I would like to have a tattoo of a GW2 concept art or any official art, do I have to ask for permission? Or how does this goes? Actually, not now but later I would like to have a tattoo of one of the dragons, as … yeah I know so surprisingly I “really love dragons” but so far I found only a few cool dragon art and also GW2 has awesome dragons and I also love the art style (so far thinking about the Shatterer, but wanna see later all the dragons and the big ones like Zhaitan) and I don’t know if I need any permission for them. I don’t know how this work and I don’t want any copyright stuff, like Anet rip off my skin from my back

I would appreciate any answer, but would prefer one ANet answer too, please ^.^

the fire build link doesn’t working, at least for me

Q: How do you know there is a battle far away?
A: Logan is approaching you.

Logan Thackeray as “Logan Fledaway”

Anyone knows what’s that strange quite long echoing clap/click/drop (can’t really describe it, but sound like a wood plank dropped on the floor) sound in Guild Wars 2? I hear that randomly, even if the game is minimized and muted in the background. Seriously I tried to search for this, what’s this random sound. Anyone experienced this? Oh and no it’s not that fire elemental clapping sound or what.

Doggie.3184:

I don’t get it.

Me neither

Hello!

Okay, so I know that the toys that it spawn are already annoying as hell, but please, at least make those spawned presents to be on the ground for longer not just a few seconds, whenever I finally kill the Annoying Toys of Hell the presents just disappear. Seriously this is more annoying that the toys almost one shot you. I get in downed like 2-3 times to kill all the toys and I get nothing because the presents are there for like ??? 15 seconds? Ridiculous.

Hello!

I noticed in Queensdale, that sometimes (not sure if its only me) I can see the wrath or what (that boss thing) at the end of the starter zone. I don’t think this is intended, but also not sure if it’s a bug. I can see it from far, but actually when I get closer, it disappears and the skill point (that light) comes up.

here I recorded it

Hello everyone!

Okay not eternal, but I think the daylight just ruins the halloween mood, please Arenanet could be only night during the Halloween? I don’t think it would be so critical change during the event, but during the night it’s so cool. But when the Sun comes up, its just, meh… >.>

Anyone else thinks that it should be all night during the Halloween, or is it just me? =(

ps: excuse me for my bad English.

Still bugged on Desolation EU
Only need this for map completion…

I’m very surprised a little bit that gold sellers appeared so early also offering power-leveling. I only saw these at main cities, kinda annoying that they are spamming. I think Anet should make another tab in reporting as “gold seller” or I don’t know.

Anyway, what do you think, can Anet get rid of them? I hope after some months I won’t see only gold seller spams in chat.

Well I want to say that some weapons have very bad looking clipping issues, I’m a Charr guardian (I admit it I made my charr tall and big) and I’ve seen that many weapons have clipping issues when its on my back, like some shields greatswords (at greatswords I can’t see the hilt and that stuff where the edge come from) so mostly I only the the sword edge and the very end of the hilt at my head, and about some shield I only see my back in the center of the shield model (so I see almost can’t see the shield). I suggest the weapons could be a little bit further from the charr model (or at least for shield and greatsword).
