Guild Wars 2

Do you suppose the purifier/firebrand will use axe/torch and staff combo?

Also I would love for the staff 1 skill to apply burning

I always missed the circle at about 10% or less.
Before I quit my internet at home, I used to repeat Carin multiple times, and only like 1 person from my group got it.

I only needed to complete the Carin heart achievement to finish my legendary armour.

A sudden thought just occurred to me…

Why not just use the same envoy armour skins and make them available for WvW via difficult/time gated collections (I’m not saying to get rid of it being aquired in raids).

It would take about a year to implement?

Also, I was not a hard core raider, but it did take a lot of time out of my day to get into raid groups. I have almost enough LI for a set now, though I definitely won’t raid more to go for a 2nd set (only for recreational purposes).

In my opinion, I prefer the Rodgort Model over that of Flames of War.
I do however like the arm aura and footsteps more on Flames of War (FoW… FoW raid confirmed)
All jokes aside, Rodgort looks amazing with Frostfang.

I’ve heard nothing but good things about people’s experiences in the fissure of woe, so I’d love it if we got a chance to go there in GW2

Ya it was GW1 version of raids back in the day. Hard, required coordination, and team work with rewarding one of the most expensive and best armor in the game.

Still back on topic:

We know the Eternal Army consist of all dead followers of Balthazar. If balthazar has lost his old Eternal Army due to losing the war against Menzies then that would also explain his lack of care for destroying all life in Tyria because once he gains all the Elder Dragon’s magic he will now have to power to rival Menzies again and with the death of a entire planet of Balthazar followers he will instantly have a new Eternal Army to fight the Shadow Army.

Balthazar may have also recruited souls/ghosts from the Soul River of Spirit Vale to become Eternals.

I believe that we will get the FoW in a raid form, since we seem to be heading in that direction from the Bastion of the Penitent.

• Deimos teleports us to another realm which could be a shadowy version of FoW.
• Deimos and Saul are shadow versions (completely black) of themselves when in the realm.
• Early concept art of Deimos depicts him having 6 eyes (Abaddon was allied with Menzies, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see this feature)
• Before fighting Deimos, Glenna will tell you that the area in that part of the prison feels like you are “touching the skin of Tyria” and “as if this place is the edge of our place”.
Maybe it is part of Menzies influence/corruption seeping into Tyria, similar to that of Abaddon (view of Istan from Abaddon’s Gate outpost).

Also,
• Menzies corrupted a few of Balthazar’s Eternals to fight against him during FoW in GW1, so he could just do that to any that are/were remaining.
• Menzies’ army within the FoW may have increased with Abaddon’s defeat, since he could call back a part of his shadow people that were deployed there as well as excess torment realm demons and minions of Dhuum.

Hopefully we will get to learn more about Balthazar’s father and half-brother, and why he carried his father’s severed head around when he first(???) entered Tyria.

Also side note,
Maybe it was Menzies (if he gained Divinity) that Rytlock saw in the mists that blinded him. The mark on his blindfold is similar to the one engraved on the chest of Deimos.

Too bad hes not blind. It was already explained..

“A revenant’s signature blindfold isn’t mandatory, either, as revenants don’t become blind as a natural result of their profession. Most of them only wear a blindfold as a tool to help them commune with the legends, who are able to perceive the world through their own senses.”

Pretty sure he talked about it ingame in HOT story.

Ah okay, thanks for the clarification.

I thought it was just Rytlock who was blind somehow.

I believe it was Menzies who overthrew Balthazar and took his powers.
That’s why Menzies Shadow army was invading the FoW back in GW1.

Balthazar may have disguised his form incase Menzies sent a demon out to kill him (Since Badazar was greatly weakened).

Also, we still have no knowledge of the consequence of the war since participating in the FoW.
Arenanet may be leading Balthazar’s story to be resolved in a FoW raid. (Deimos is a shadow demon from Menzies most probably, which may be a clue that could veer us into this direction for a raid).

It would be great to learn more about Balthazar’s father, and why he killed(???) him.

Also side note,
Maybe it was Menzies (if he gained Divinity) that Rytlock saw in the mists that blinded him. The mark on his blindfold is similar to the one engraved on the chest of Deimos.

I believe that Balthazar was usurped and had his powers drained by Menzies.

1. We do not know the result of the war within the Fissure of Woe. (Check GW2 wiki)
• Menzies may have won the battle with his shadow army.

2. The GW1 wiki page on Menzies blatantly says that He and his Shadow Army were trying to take Balthazar’s place as well as his powers.

Why does Menzies the Mad dislike his half-brother Balthazar?
Maybe it could have something to do with him carrying the severed head of his father when he first(????) arrived on Tyria.

Tangent,
I feel we are being led to a FoW raid
- Deimos has a "shadow" version of himself and teleports us to another realm within the mists, which could look like a shadowy version of the FoW.
- It would be amazing to have Menzies as the last boss of a raid.
- It would also be a great way to cover/end the unfinished story of FoW.

"Ookook! Hail Badazar!"

Do we get to see Primordus?
If so I wish someone could pm a pic.
I can’t play the ls

I found it odd how “Lazaraus” was using Divine Fire and Divine Blessing whilst he was helping to protect Aurene from the destroyers.
Only the human gods and the Forgotten used divine magic, from what I know lore wise.

I posted this at around 11:40 or 50 am est, I also do not have internet/wifi, and have not had for over a month. I also read some stuffs on today’s release on Reddit about 2-3 hours ago.

Really wish I could play and hitch a ride on the hype train, though won’t be able to until next year.

ugrakarma.9416:

same, anyone can spoiler me too? i wont able to login anytime soon.

Same, I have not had internet for over a month, so I most likely will not be able to play the episodes until maybe next year.

I am really curious to see where the story is going from here!

Hello Everyone.

I speculate that “Lazaraus” is one of the human gods, either Balthazar or Kormir.
The reasons below are why I believe so.

-“Lazaurus” uses “Divine Fire” magic as well as the support skill “Divine Blessing”.
• I may be wrong, but we currently only know of the human gods and the forgotten using divine magic.

-Balthazar is the God of war, so I would think that he would be best in helping start a war between Primordus and Jormag.
• He may be more willing to help now with the death of 2 Elder Dragons

-Also, I highly doubt any human mortal would be able to survive absorbing immense amounts of magic from a blood stone.

It would be funny if it were Kasmeer lol

I’m not annoyed, just giving a mere suggestion.

I see your point, but I doubt it would kill the PvP community entirely, since it would just weed out some of the newer players from Ranked games.

I’m not saying my suggestions have to be implemented this season, but rather another like 6 or 7. Players would have time to practice PvP and get their levels to 35 or 40.

Also, the Tutorial I suggested could even increase PvP reward track progression.

The PvP level 20 requirement for Ranked games is there for a reason as well, since I doubt people who do try to get to high tiers in the League Season would want to be gambling their time with beginners.

To conclude, I believe that if these changes could be implemented, then there would be a little less “luck/gambling” for getting a somewhat even battle in Ranked and a tad bit more competition.

Why not just restrict Ranked game queues to PvP level 35 or 40 and keep Unranked at PvP level 20?
Yes, we would get fewer players participating in a league season, but we could get more viable team players who would have greater knowledge on conquest fights.

Also,
they should reimplement a PvP tutorial for players under PvP level 20, so that they can learn about team fights, stomps, revivals, capturing points and rotations. This would be similar to the PvE tutorial you do once you create a new character.

So basically, in Guild Wars one, there was a faction of dwarves called the Brotherhood of the Dragon. We last saw them protecting Glint’s first scion, Gleam in the Depths of Tyria (near The Central Transfer Chamber I believe), fighting destroyers trying to kill/corrupt it. This mission is similar to that of the protection of Aurene.
I was thinking that possibly Gleam may still be alive and is protected and ‘connected through mind’ by the Brotherhood of the Dragon, just like how we are protecting Aurene and ‘connected through mind’ with her.

Also, in the second season of living story (don’t remember the episode), we were able to travel to Glint’s layer and watch the Master of Peace receive the egg containing Aurene by an unseen/unknown character.
Who could that character possibly be? A member The Brotherhood of the Dragon?

Are the charr considered an ancient race?
And,
were they around as a primitive race during the last Elder Dragon Rising?

So,

I was wondering if Gorseval was a titan, since titans in the GW universe are a collective mass of tormented spirits… which is quite similar to Gorseval.

I have the same problem,

was in Bloodstone Fen for about half an hour doing events, when I suddenly dced.
Can’t log onto that character anymore.

Also I can’t seem to even launch the client now.

Thank you! I have a beta slot now.

I am a bit disappointed because I spent many hours farming for the portal stone. As the GW2 Team stated before the portal dropping event began,

“Beta access will be flagged upon looting the item, and it’s not required to claim participation.”

Guild Wars 2 Team. “Claim Your Spot in the Next Heart of Thorns Closed Beta – GuildWars2.com.” GuildWars2com RSS. Guild Wars 2 Team, 27 Apr. 2015. Web. 26 May 2015.

and

“Players who found this item are guaranteed a spot in the current closed beta test! Signing up for the newsletter is not required to access the beta test if you received one of these items. However, to get beta schedules, instructions on how to access the test, or any other beta-related information, you still need to sign up for the newsletter.”

Guild Wars 2 Team. “Heart of Thorns Beta FAQ.” Guild Wars 2 Support. Guild Wars 2 Team, n.d. Web. 26 May 2015.

So apparently if a portal stone drops for any given person, then according to GW2, that person should have a guaranteed spot available for today’s BETA events. By the way I am also subscribed to the GW2 Newsletter and have been for quite some time now, yet I have not received any email indicating anything about the BETA prior to today. Oh well. I would hope that Arenanet would give us some compensation of BETA time for whenever we want, until the allotted time runs out (2 hours?).

I still have no access even with the second block of the beta. I feel like this is a late April Fools joke. I have a stone yet no beta slot…

So yeah. I have the same problem with no slot yet I have the stone. I hope they can fix this issue soon.

I have the same problem

Hi I don’t know why but I can’t make a beta character on my account. I have no extra beta slot and the log in screen looks the same. I have found a portal stone for the beta but I have not received an email for details of the beta prior to today 5/26/15. I had contacted support and they told me that I shouldn’t have a problem ad I could just log in and that there would be an extra beta character slot available. I know it’s not the end of the world and that I am not missing much if I don’t play the beta, but I would like to know why I am having so much trouble.

I believe in one of the recent PoIs featuring the revenant, they may have mentioned something about how they made a pool of like more than 8 professions, but chose the best of them which are the 8 we have now. Plus they may have not had enough experience to experiment with the new revenant tech. You should check it out. I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure I heard it in one of the PoIs.

I am not sure, but some of the content like the revenant which will be released in HoT was already planned since launch, so maybe. It was just interesting seeing these 2 pictures in particular though,

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/d/d4/Evil_sylvari_concept_art_4.jpg

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/6/6a/Evil_sylvari_concept_art_5.jpg

I found these pictures which were drawn by Kekai Kotaki a few months ago. These 2 pictures depict “evil” sylvari (possibly corrupt?). Here is the link to the GW2wiki page of Kotaki’s art works. Just scroll down a bit on the page and they should be on the right. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Category:Art_by_Kekai_Kotaki

I will give the above name a 7/10 because the name Trestkon matches more with human.

My charr guardians name is Modreth Nightstep of the Iron Legion.
He was originally situated in Ascalon with his warband, but they left to go help the norn fight the ice brood in the Shiverpeak Mountains.

Now if you remove The Moot from the list of those 3 legendary weapons and replace it with Eternity, would you girls/guys still vote Frostfang as best legendary?

I have Rodgort and maybe it would match with Frostfang on my ranger?

Which of these 3 legendaries do you like the Best?

pleeeaaaase I hope he becomes corrupted by Mordremoth, so that I can destroy him

The only things I like about Eternity now are the footsteps and the aura but I don’t fancy the glowing gem on the hilt of the sword. I’ll probably craft Twilight and then make Eternity and then sell it.

I wish ArenaNet could add history/story description to legendary weapons where you preview the stats of the weapon, just like ascended gear. It would be nice to know their history.

I don’t know. I use GS a lot in pve, and I use hammer in pvp and wvw and sometimes in pve. I also use my gs in pvp and wvw sometimes too, so I guess I use them the same

Hi, I have had sunrise since the beginning of 2014, and recently Eternity had some really cool changes on it and now I really want to get Eternity. But I also like The Juggernaut, and don’t know which to craft: Twilight to make eternity or The Juggernaut?

Indeed those ones too. They are both missing footprints. I want to actually feel legendary while I have a legendary euipted

I know Arenanet may not see this and read this, but please do for it is bothering me and others as well.
The legendary torch Rodgort I find needs longer lasting footfalls which are bigger and more noticable. Even a little orange-red aura/glow on character would not hurt or be bad as well. Please I would love to see this updated into the game hopefully by Season 2 of living story or an update later. It would be sooo sick. Please read this and update Rodgort

Does anyone else have strange colors on the on the part of the blade above the hilt?
I get the regular yellow color, dark blue, light blue and green from different angles in certain areas.

-I just want to know if it’s normal, because it would be sick it is.

This is my Charr Guardian
