Rules concerning this mod;

As part of ArenaNet’s policy on third-party programs, we are often asked about multi-boxing and the use of macros. Here is our policy:

Macros
—————————————————
Guild Wars 2 players are permitted to use macros as long as the macros;

Are programmed with a 1 key for 1 function protocol.
This means that if you program a macro, it must require one keystroke per action. You may not program a single key to perform multiple functions.
For example, if you Press A and it results in the casting of a single skill, you’re ok. If you Press A and it casts multiple spells, you’re not ok.

You cannot program a macro to perform the same or multiple actions on more than one account at a time.

You cannot program an “auto-clicker” macro that, for instance, opens chests while you play elsewhere.

“Does this program allow someone to play faster, better, longer, or more accurately than someone who doesn’t use it?”
“Does this program allow someone to ‘play’ when he/she is not at the computer?”
“Does this program allow the user to gain undeserved rewards?”

No, no, and no. :>

Immersive Combat
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Firstly, what is Immersive Combat Mode (ICM) ?;

ICM allows players to attack, and turn their screen, with the mouse., while locking the mouse in the center of the screen. This allows players to experience a much more “immersive” combat experience, a more fluid experience.

Now, in the past, this mod was never quite officially “approved”. We received hidden approval, as some would call it, when a moderator stated that any mod that doesn’t give you a direct advantage over others isn’t bannable.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Now, I can’t play guild wars 2 without this. A lot of people can’t play this game without this mod. It appeals to the " Action gamers", it makes the combat more comfortable to those who don’t enjoy typical MMO combat.

That being said, firstly, I encourage you all to try it for yourself ( http://wesslen.org/ICM/ or http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/10amev/combat_mode_10_released_arenanet_repond/ ).

Second of all, it’s important to show your support for this. This really appeals to A LOT of people, yet, it isn’t naturally in the game. This would broaden combat interest, and would make those of us who are stuck using the mod VERY happy.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Please ANet, several others want this, some of us NEED this (Me!).
I hope you’ll consider adding this as an option INGAME.

DPS meter is the last thing this game needs.

Why? At least give an option to turn it off. Game will be more enjoyable when people ask for damage dealing people and get just that. If someone wants to run another build, they can find another party.

Catering to elitists at all is generally a bad thing. We’re better off without it.

Still waiting for official support of Immersive Combat mod.

It’s the only way I can play this game, without it, I would have never been able to enjoy guild wars * -*

XApocalypse.8739:

Psynch.4087:

Harper.4173:

Who exactly is stopping you from forming your own " no stacking " party and going at the content that way?
Nobody.

Listen to yourself.

You listen to yourself, this guy is asking for it to be removed. Some of us like to take the fun out of the game.

*fixed

Donari.5237:

I take no credit for this. A guildie did this at game start. But you don’t have to do Asura to participate in this thread:

Simply magnificent.
Such beauty~

As the title states, what’s your favorite weapon(s), and why?

To start this off, I’d have to say my favorite weapon set is Sword and Dagger. Overall, it’s very, VERY mobile, and is great in both PvP and PvE.

Wish we could get more views on this thing, lol…

Mhmmm, it is indeed

I’m 16, and I LOVE this game :P

WeLoveKanjimari.6725:

ALL games should have this, but very few bother to do it lately.

The depressing thing about this suggestion is that from suggesting -> developing -> releasing would be a process of….a long time. Even if they did like the idea by the time it came around we’d be tired of killing those enemies.

aw, so sad…

But we can always hope for a fast but high quality release, right?

XD, yeah, I love how you don’t have to grind in this game.…

If only those legendary grinders could get that into their thick heads. XD

tolunart.2095:

Because the people who enjoy the game, are playing the game. Most of them don’t feel the need to shout at everyone about how good the game is and how much they enjoy playing. They just do it.

The people who don’t enjoy the game, who want the game to become something it isn’t, or are frustrated because their pet peeves have not been immediately addressed by the devs and fixed, get ignored when they stand around in the game shouting about it. So they come here and find other people shouting about the same pet peeves and it makes them feel better.

.

Lol, IMO that sums up what I thought, I was hoping they had a real reason to be so negative but I guess they don’t.

Gibbel.5734:

Or play the underdog and try to be pro with a elementalist

Devs said ele is getting major buff soon, other than bunker eles.

Play thief, they have 0 cooldown on weapon skills, and instead use a unique combat system.
Perfect for fast paced AND tactical gameplay.
This class IS FEARED in 1 v 1, and in larger battles, if you are in danger, you can stealth out of it, allowing you to prepare some deadly AoEs and traps.

Why come ingame, everyone is super positive and supportive of the game, but on the forums, we have people complaining and bickering like they’ve never dealt with a growing MMO before…

So, heres the question…

Why are the forums so negative?
(Not everyone, just a select few)

Well, in nearly EVERY popular, LARGE COMMUNITY, the forums is where the negative players go in fear of being bashed ingame.

No big surprise, the ingame community is far to positive to be bothered by negative conspiracy theories.

This speak of large player losses with no proof makes me laugh. Sure, some players left, but obviously, our Servers are teaming with players on EVERY server, I don’t think we have ANYTHING to worry about.

He was thinking it was a skyrim ref. because one of our music directors made the music for Skyrim.

xD, yeah, it broke on wednesday, I will have it back tomorrow though! I’m so excited to play my thief again. . (typing on iPad is so annoying)

The LZ.7891:

I’m glad to see you do ! It’s good with some enthusiasm.

I ADORE the NO subscription formula. It’s so wonderful and
works as a GREAT selling point when you’re trying to get others
to play the game. I’m so thankful for it. Plus, I don’t feel bad if I haven’t
played for X amount of time, since the thought is that I’m then wasting
money, as with other MMO’s.

I also plain love the graphics of the game. I absolutely love playing my Guardian
due to Blue being their color scheme you might say. Blue is my favourite and thus
seeing those shields appear and how they radiate on the battlefield, is just lovely.

Too many things to mention ^^, but I think you got the most of it too, OP.

Staff guardians look fun to play, and pretty too.
and yeah, the 1 time payment thing is so AWESOME!~

My current computer is broken, so i actually can’t play anything right now, but at least I know I’m not losing money due to subscription fees

It feels like no other game, honestly.
By itself, and with Combat Mode, the battles in this game are unique, and a ton of fun.

If you take your time, the Dynamic Events and such really add Immersion to the game, and I love how just creating your character changes your entire story.

I LOVE how each profession is different, and how many ways a single profession can be played and built.

I love all the things to do, all the vistas, all the amazing scenery in the game, the in depth characters, and awesome music.

You get the point, I love this game.
Why do you guys like this game?

(Don’t reply if your a rusher )

Zutroy.9105:

Yeah! It’d be neat. It’d give a reason to return to lower level area. In addition, I’d add the abilities of the monsters in the book. In the heat of the battle, some abilities are unclear. And returning in a dungeon after a while, it’s hard to remember what every bosses do.

Exactly, so not only would it be fun, but it could also help players prepare for battles and figure out how they work.

Nefaria.7659:

You kinda already have a kill counter in your achievement list. But I agree that a book would be neat. It’d be handy if it listed the abilities of the monsters, since sometimes during combat I don’t read the white text that’s under their names.

I know we kind of have it in the achievement list, but it’d be nice to have a specific counter for that specific enemy.

Another neat idea from the Bestiary book would be a monster kill counter for each monster.

Just another something for fun. :P

I love flavor text too.

I think it’d be cool if we had a monster log that allowed usto record encountered foes, and put them into a book (aka a UI you can open up from the Hero Interface). After sketching, you must defeat the foe a few times, then the beast will be fully installed in your Monster Log, here you can view drops, stats, skills, and a nice 3D Model of the enemy.

This would add a whole new activity to the game that we can enjoy, especially if you love collection journals and such.

I feel this would be a neat feature, but what do you guys think?

GreyWraith.8394:

I would love to see this added to the in-game control options. Not so in love with it that I’m willing to use a random 3rd party mod though, especially given how hard hackers/phishers have been working to steal accounts.

It’s not a keylogger, no worries, me and countless others have been using it for days.
All it is really is an autokey script.

tzko.2370:

I tlooks good but there is something about it that rings an alarmbel in my head…

Maybe its just me but it seems like a tv add with this guy talking so slick and praising it up into the 7th heaven.

I think there are too many bots around from hacked accounts and I wont try any 3rd party software just out of precaution.

I’ve been using it for a few days now, no worries, it’s safe.
I scanned the file as well, no viruses/keyloggers

It really is an AMAZING mod

Timbersword.9014:

It’s been done before in TERA, but really, every MMO on the market could do themselves a favor and implement this system. I don’t even need the crosshair though. For what it’s worth, between tab targeting and most of my attacks sweeping an area in front of me anyway, a cross-hair would just be an eyesore. Options = good.

exactly.

I’d still like the option for a crosshair, though :P

I would love a unique skillset for every weapon for every profession, it would really make our characters ALOT more diverse, and would make pvp/pve VERY interesting.

good work dear fellow, good work.

bartsimpsons.6135:

Wow this is awesome. They should make this mod compulsory for everyone.

I hate having to constantly re-position my mouse using right click

The mod is actually available for download still, and Anet finnaly approved it.
we just need them to put it in the game for non-modders.

heres the download links.

http://www.mediafire.com/?902axmkrr484ne9
www.autohotkey.com/download/AutoHotkeyInstall.exe

as you can see in this video, a user has created a mod, that allows you to bind a key that adds a crosshair to the center of your screen, and removes the need to hold right click to change screen direction.

The crosshair is actually your cursor, locked in place, making it easier for you to move.

Please, ANet, create something like this mod, or take the mod altogether and install it into the game.

It’d make a huge difference for quite a few players.

Excellent work, my fellow designer, that’s a masterpiece

http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv112/galactor33/GuildWars2WizardsFief_zpsbbb16d7b.png

Wizard’s Fief, a lovely little cove that seems secluded from the world.
The grass is greener, the water is bluer, and there is plenty of sights to take in, including the mighty floating castle.

This Town contains a Vista AND a skillpoint, and allows you to climb the boat for an awesome diving board.

There’s a beautiful trail, and down the trail you can find some ettin to hunt on.

This town is a must see for someone looking for a relaxing get-away.

XD.

First thing I noticed was how I get rewarded for having fun and exploring, and I don’t get punished for playing in groups.
Instant love right there. :P

Thx for the welcoming and advise guys

I’m really excited to become a part of this community.

Is there anything I should know before I jump in?
