Guild Wars 2

Not sure if this is new to BWE3, but nice touch on the sound effects on the Herald

The Revenant is now invoking nostalgia too!

Hello,

I’m not sure if this has been suggested or mentioned yet, apologies if it has.
Seeing as we lack a dedicated condition ranged weapon, some have suggested an additional weapon to be added to fill this role.

I was thinking what if we have a trait (in addition to ‘Rampant Vex’) within in the ‘corruption’ line that gives our hammer a damaging condition such as torment/burning on auto attack and maybe additional hammer skills?

Let me know your thoughts!

I had some thoughts today, with some thing relating to Scarlett, the mists, asura personal story line as well as the Mysterious Figure.

Might Mr. E be us from the future? Giving us hints to try to steer our paths to prevent something happening in the future.

Wild guess, but i thought i’d share it.

Mysterious Stranger…. Mystery… Mr E

Is Mr E. Reginald Murcan?

Update (sorry to double post)

Change the language in the top right corner. The download should resume as normal afterwards. Hope this helps you

I’m also having this problem, installing GW2 on my new Mac, only have 3 files left to download!

Seeing as your on Gandara, that would be probably the notorious FSP hacker/bug abuser that’s been plaguing WvW over the past weeks/months.

“Destroy Scarlet’s defenses on the Breachmaker to free Lion’s Arch and win a chance at rich rewards like the Molten Jetpack, Monocle, Air-Filtration Device, Scarlet’s Kiss, and Scarlet’s Rainbow, and more! In addition to all those rare and exclusive skins, the Ultimate Citizen’s Rescue Bag also has a rare chance to reward other items from past releases.”

I was just wondering, does the Ultimate Citizen’s Rescue Bag also contain the Gas Mask skin? Can anybody confirm they’ve got one?

Thanks!

(Exemplar) Livia?

It’s something i’ve been thinking about recently.

1) New weapons and skills.
2) Return of the Underworld and FoW, mixture of open world and instanced zones.
3) Hero’s Ascent type PvP mode.
4) Opening of Magumma Wastes, Crystal Desert and other Tyrian zones.
5) Fractals highlighting the fates of well known GW1 characters.

Hey all!
We wanted to ‘spoiler’ a couple of patch notes early, so here they are:

Glacial Heart: This trait now delivers an area strike on the target it activates on, damaging and chilling up to 5 enemies in a 180 radius.

Transfusion: This trait now scales with healing power at a 20% rate, where it didn’t previously scale.

Unsteady Ground: This skill no longer damages or cripples enemies. It will now prevent foes from crossing the area, knocking them back a short distance. Lasts for 3 seconds.

Roy and I are scheduled to stream on October 11th where we’ll go over a few more features and adjustments that you’ll see on the mid-october update. Be sure to tune in and check it out!

Ah this is what I was going by, maybe it got rescheduled.

This is something i’d like to know too, Karl said himself and Roy would be elaborating on some of the skill changes from the next patch.

Looking forward to Maguuma Wastes and the Crystal Desert the most. Would be interesting to see how much they’ve changed since GW1.

I would love it, if i could play it.
I’ve got the worst lag ever, i never usually lag, like 1-2mins delay between things.

Oh wow, i remembered when i first saw this!
Forgot how cool Elona was as well.

bettadenu.5483:

Charr Ritualists have existed in GW1 so it’s not impossible.

True dat.
It would be my main go to alt, like it was in Gw1. I sure did love the Ritualist, especially after all those buffs/changes it had.

The Commando proffesion was an Aprils fools joke, a good one i must add haha.

Cappy.2786:

I thought Mursaat extinct?

Almost, there is one known survivor, Lazarus the Dire. I’m still wondering if we are in the wrong for killing most of them off.

I flash death shroud (double tap f1) for almost unlimited fury, to help keep up bleeds.

I hope to see a blast finisher put on our ‘Maul’ skill, would be nice with our water-field based healing spring.

We havn’t heard the dev’s comment on it yet, there might be some circumstances that this ascended gear might only provide better than exotic stats in certain area’s or in new area’s.

I believe they can be obtained through the temple events at Orr, such as Grenths.

Awesome, still loving this game also.

Happy belated birthday for yesterday!

I love Orr, it’s like a constant battleground.

obiemvy.5632:

Primordius should be “Boom Boom” lol

Bubbles will always be Bubbles in my book. And I honestly don’t think that Alpha’s attack is the name of Bubbles. I bet it’s a little teaser of the 6th dragon… or maybe even a different elder dragon… one we haven’t even heard anything about yet.

I agree, if i recall properly, the alpha’s Mordramoth attack is earth related i think. Could perhaps give insight as to why the Magumma jungle has turned to waste.

Would love a crossbow, but if you give a proffesion a new weapon, all the other will want one too. I just think the scepter needs further refining, perhaps a chain attack on auto cast with a faster projectile speed.

I liked how you put a picture of a crossbow in, made me laugh.. in a good way.

Would probably avoid the power line, instead spec into precision and toughness/critical dmg. I sometimes farm cursed shore with a staff and spec 0/15/30/20/5, i can crit 1.2k on staff auto attack (berserkers gear) in which tags quite a few enemies for me.

What you’d probably want to trait for;

- Larger symbols
- 20% CD on 2 handed weapons

You’d probably need some survivability for events such as the temple events in Orr, any of the two grandmaster traits in the toughess/critical dmg line will contribute to that.

I’ve seen some underwater ranger pets on land recently, even in lions arch.

Would be nice, but i personally don’t think it’s a good idea, i’d get bored of other characters if i hit 80 on them, instead of exploring the world again. However you can still use the achievement title “been there, done that” on alts.

^ I agree with the hammer + an altruistic healing build. What i love about the guardian is that our critical damage is included in the same branch that contains toughness – in which has some great traits. You could try a meditation build also, especially if you like one handed weapons that don’t rely on symbols.

Good effort, these were pretty amusing!

Agreed, it’s a lot more than i expected.

This is good news!
Saw a post that the content will debut on the 15th with a few lead up events prior to the big update.

I personally run both pretty high, try to aim for 15-16k hp and then invest the rest in toughness.

Probably fixing a Halloween bug, i think the mad king realm became inaccessible from certain area’s because of bugged events.

Yeah there is one coming out pretty soon, it accidently appeared in game not too long ago but was removed. They said it wasn’t quite ready.

Great event, possibly one of the best Halloween events i’ve experienced. Still havn’t managed to-do the clock tower yet either!

Good work ANet!

I’m not too sure, but i think it’s more like the warriors traited regeneration, it doesn’t appear as a boon, just regenerates every few seconds.

Red Falcon.8257:

One word for that article: sensationalism.
Who cares about bots, it’s not like they can do anything to me; anet will deal with them in time.

Agreed, they are putting their resources into a permanent solution. Saying that, i saw a fresh new wave of bots farming at shelters gate in cursed shore… went back there last night and they were all gone.

1) It depends, now and again i alternate between a few builds and weapons to keep things interesting.

2) Most of the grinding occurs in high level area’s such as cursed shore, at times it can be quite social. I’ve never grinded anything by myself.

3) I found the end-game to pretty cool, there’s a few things you can work for like exotic karma armor and some cultural weapons. I’m hoping for more end-game activities, maybe larger scaled dungeons that equates to something like the underworld/domain of anguish/fissure of woe in Guild Wars 1. I’m pretty sure we will see something like this in the next few months.

4) I like the difficulty of some dungeons and events having to dodge, pay attention and plan things through. What i like least is very few things for guilds to do at the moment, for example no guild vs guild.

What do you mean by cosmetic pack? as in character re-customization? If so, yes it’s been leaked into the database and i think it made itself into the game very briefly, but was removed.

Nice going Jon and the rest of the team!
Happy for the people who play rangers!

Not sure, i saw an Engineer with a hyena earlier, no idea how. You might want to block their name on the screenshot, it’s probably going to get locked hah.

I could see us Necro’s getting a torch as an offhand weapon in the future. Probably be a bit like the guardian’s torch, but our flames will be a ghastly green instead of blue.

Yeah flesh golem looked awesome in gw1, never used it though… I always ran Aura of the Lich if i did minion based builds. Really hope a skill like Aura of the lich makes its way into Gw2!

Sure is!

Make another Guardian with the visionary helmet. Transmute that helmet with another low level helmet, then trade it over to your other Guardian.

It applies for skill 3.

Agreed! Looking back to the first week of release and exploring those zones again give me the same feeling i had when i first started GW1 in 2005!

Also, any MMO forums are the source of any negative criticism and/or constructive feedback.

What about a Necromancer?

I think there is a chance to get some new black lion content from the gem store. Various items have been popping up in the game database and Colin said that we expect to see these very soon, according to an interview it could of been released anywhere between the 12th or some time this week. Unless they decided to hold it out till the 22nd.

But expect various bug fixes, i’m not anticipating any major skill tweaks because of Halloween.
