Guild Wars 2

Rifle is only usable (barely) on two professions. And yet all signs point toward thief getting a staff, but where does that leave rifle?

It’s the most niche weapon in the game (considering it’s a two-hander). I would love to craft The Predator, but it’s an absolute joke to do so unless there’s going to be another profession to use it.

On Engi, you rarely see it (being in kits so often), and it’s largely a troll-burst spec weapon for Warriors.

Logged in primarily to say that the OP nailed it. This was EXACTLY my thinking: If you’re going to give new players the “Free Bonus” of the original game, then what sort of equally valued “Free Bonus” can existing players expect? a character slot could’ve made this whole wave of frustration disappear.

You really shot yourself in the foot on this one ANet.

Thanks for the answers. I had done a search, but wasn’t aware that the aviator cap had been bugged. Thanks for being more on top of these things than me. :-)

Much appreciated!

-Map/location: The video is in Lion’s Arch, but this happens in any zone I travel to.
-Character info(level, race, profession): 80 Charr Warrior.

I linked the video because it is far more effective at illustrating the issue than my words.

For reference: This is the only character on my account that does this (I have several others and none of them exhibit this behavior).

It happens in every zone and in wvw/eotm.

I have attempted to repair my client files and this had no effect.

I don’t (and have never) run any addon of any sort.

I’ve only noticed this issue since the most recent patch (earlier this week).

Yeah, they’ve even confirmed the day it will be released!…
…the day Half-Life 3 launches.

HL3 Confirmed!!

Personally, I’m opposed to them fixing Season 2 until they fix Season 1.

I wasn’t affected by Season 1, but I WAS affected by Season 2.

Seeing all the people whose S1 problems still haven’t been resolved was a nice reminder to me that my more immediate gripe is minor in that larger context.

In short, I’m showing some solidarity here and saying I don’t want my S2 shinies until the S1 folks get theirs

Good decision here. This was the only fair way to handle the obvious flub in their delivery plans. Now nobody has to worry about anything, we’ll get them when the problem is solved. More importantly, it puts real pressure on the devs to actually solve the problem because EVERYONE is waiting for their rewards (rather than just a subset of the player population).

Respectfully, if there’s a plan, I think it would be in everyone’s best interest to hear it sooner rather than later. Let’s be realistic: if they couldn’t/haven’t fixed the botched Season 1 rewards, why should ANYONE have faith that they’ll fix the rewards for Season 2?

Anyone from ANet care to convince us that “it’s all going to be OK” and actually do so convincingly (particularly in light of the fact that the problems of Season 1 still aren’t resolved)???

Why not, in the name of fairness, hold off on making the vendor available until the problem is solved? Either everyone should be able to enjoy/spend the tokens they earned, or nobody should. A piecemeal solution where some people end up waiting months while others don’t (looking at you Season 1 problems), is just fundamentally demoralizing and unfair.

Thanks to the few people from EB that kept coming back to take Golanta. You finally rolled us and killed my precious flame rams.

I hope you’re happy. :-P

:-)

So, eventually (as in sometime in the next calendar year), can I expect to be able to actually progress this dynamic event so I can buy some Karma gear?

I don’t know why these events are so buggy.

Does it get better than this? kudos to everyone playing this week.

I’m not sure there’s a mechanic for it, but something needs to be done about the AFKs in dragon ball. it’s terrible, and clearly only being done as a means to quickly complete the achievement(s) or worse, to troll everyone who really wants to be in there playing.

Incredibly proud of the effort made by the CD community this week. This is the most fun I’ve had in months (win/lose/whatever). The fact that we’re winning is just that much sweeter. Has there been a match-up this evenly contested recently? I don’t think that we have had one (recently).

Kudos to Kain/YB. A week ago, you had me shaking my head saying “Oh lordy, what are we in for?”

Totally didn’t disappoint.

one thing i notice, yaks and cd zergs are softies. nothing compared to what we had the chance to experience vsing maguuma zergs (e.g. DERP).

but still kaineng is at third place. close score though. so the matchup is balanced.

If I had to say in a word what we lack at CD…

It’s Bloodlust. We just aren’t bloodthirsty enough. Bunch of darn hippies on our server ;p

I’m not a hippie. Just because I cruise EBL in hand-woven hemp flip flops while I’m chomping granola, doesn’t mean I’m soft either. I’m thirsty. It’s just that my vegan lifestyle prevents me from desiring blood. How about some nice herbal tea??

It’s a bit of a shame that the most evenly contested matchup (so far) this week has so few people commenting.

Just want to say that it was a blast rolling on CD this morning. YB put up a good outmanned fight at their keep.

Having a blast with this new matchup. i think it challenges the lower ranked servers to really play UP to their competition.

This has been a fun weekend. Really happy that CD is keeping things close!

Heyo,

Anyone notice how these feel like personal ads? Wait, do those still exist?

Gamer (and a lifer).

Been playing GW since 2005 and GW2 since release. I’ve got five 80s, but I’m pretty much enjoying leveling my last 3 characters in WvW. I have to admit, I’m looking for a bit of a contradiction: a no-pressure guild that is interested in strategic WvW play (and some PvE thrown in). Basically, I’m pretty tired of being a roamer or just cruising with the zerg aimlessly. I’d like my effort to be more purposeful, and to be more “team” oriented. I’m also up for doing dungeons/whatever. The game is my relaxation time, so I’m not looking for a guild that takes itself too seriously. I’m also not looking for a giant guild that renders me entirely anonymous (even though I generally tend to be a bit quiet/unassuming myself).

:-)

Hi All!

A couple of observations/questions:

Was anyone at ANet who was involved in the conception of the Consortium inspired by the Ferengi of the Star Trek universe? Or, was that just a Gordon Gecko capitalism run-amok, American style that inspired it?

Is the music in the recent “Meet the Consortium” video available anywhere?

I’m perfectly happy with my Necro. I outlast just about every other class.

Thief class absolutely destroys me though (that’s nothing new for this OP class)

Dear ANet:

What word from Cantha? Survivors make their way to Ascalon and Kryta. What word?

Guild Name: Foodies
Guild Tag: [FOOD]
World: Crystal Desert

Created guild with a friend and do not have access to any permissions other than “edit rank”

As guild leader, I cannot promote, spend influence, or otherwise alter the guild at all. Having had a guild member spend a tome of influence, there’s the obvious concern that we’re completely unable to spend it on guild upgrades.
