Guild Wars 2

ilr.9675:

Having bought the Deluxe edition, I find this “marketing” insulting.
I expect better of Arenanet. …or atleast I used to.

They won’t care about your opinion, because they already got your money.

And I also expected better of Anet, that’s why I will wait and see what time brings.

When they give us more info about the xpack and when they give us release date, then I will think if I want to buy it or not.

For now I’m just disappointed, that’s all. I still hope that they will maybe break and give us another option.

You’ve both angered me, and dissapointed me Anet.
And judging by flaming on YT, Forum, Map chats ingame I can tell that you’ve managed to kitten off a lot of veterans with this epic “deal”.

Good job, ArenaNet! GOOD KITTEN JOB!

I think it’s safe to say that you dissapointed a big part of your playerbase, and by that I mean veterans.

Unless you fix that then, well, I think you will lose a lot of players, again.

Blude.6812:

Anet does not need to get into social engineering just to placate players who have a different belief system and low tolerance level. If it is an issue—-use the filter, report words that you take PERSONAL offense to then block the player.
The game has all the tools you need.

THIS.

You have profanity filter, you have possibility to block people, you have possibility to not see certain chat, you have a possibility do basically block yourself from all the “bad” content.
The sad fact is that those who claim that vulgar behaviour is in place in this game have little to no proof at all of that. Of course, people some times will be like that, because let’s face it – some people take it too far. But that doesn’t mean that, becasue few people misbehave, that the entire system should be changed. I’ve got my map chat constantly on and quite frankly I have not seen bad behaviour there beside sporadical instances. The fact that you are discussing it here means that you want some kind of censorship that will basically turn into what good ol’ USSR gave us in Eastern Europe. Because “omg this person offended me”.

The tools to “shield” yourself are here, and as Blude stated, you are welcome to use them – profanity filter, block option, invisibility, possibility to close map chats.
And if everything makes you go into rage and you claim behaviour of all is so terrible, then perhaps online gaming is not for you?

GW2 Community is the nicest and the most helpful one out there. Don’t try to enforce something, that is really not an issue.

Red Queen.7915:

There are waypoint codes for outposts already in the game, and several times devs talked about new zoneS, so I’d guess we get more than one.
A comparable region, level-wise, would be Orr, which has three zones. I’d expect something along those lines, plus at least one town (probably the one where the Mursaat reside, possibly a second Grove). Either way, Silverwastes and Dry Top are already there, so in total, it would be a new region with five zones, three of which would be HoT exclusive.

As far as I remember, the devs said something about 3-4 zones. Each zone will represent the level of the jungle, accordingly to the trees(sorry I don’t know proper english words for what I’m about to describe): the first one being the crown of the tree, with destroyed Pact fleet, the second one will be a little further down, with the main tree trunks, then there will be roots map and last but not least, the core of the Maguuma.

Or at least that is what I think I understood from one of the previews that Devs did.

1. Mastery UI – althought I think it nice that you are placing the mastery trait system on the bottom right corner of the screen, it is weird for me to use, and at the start I was looking for that in the existing UI system.
I’m not saying that it is terrible placement whatsoever, but it is something that we, as players, will have to get used to and I doubt it will be a quick “using to”.

2. Descriptions on the mastery traits should have more info – I gave up on using mushroom after I bought the mastery and still couldn’t use it, only to find 10 minutes before the end of the stress test, that I actually need to get experience points. And there was no info regarding that in the Mastery UI

3. Glider gliding skill starts too slowly in my opinion. Interval between me jumping off the ledge and the option to glide appearing was too long, thus my character was either too low to get anywhere or I was spamming my space like crazy and didn’t know if I won’t disable it by doing so.

Those are the only things I really found annoying in the stress test. I didn’t have any issues with either lags or fps drops on my PC.
I was also pleasantly suprised to see my character finally talking, and actually talking with(!) emotions in his voice. THAT was very nice to see guys!

Beside that I think this Stress Test was too small and too short to actually tell anything else.

Overall I liked it

Tested it out, I didn’t get it on my other character. It’s pure RNG, nothing more

flarezi.9381:

It’s easy boss, and yes I agree that we want harder bosses! But what I meant is maybe gaining full carapace armor set shouldn’t be easy. it’s end of this living season after all.

Of course it shouldn’t be easy! But I’m sure that making it RNG isn’t making it harder(see comments where people after 3 runs got 3 chests).
I want hard content, not RNG.

flarezi.9381:

Already whining about how hard it is, what it actually takes bit time? Living world events are here for stay. Maybe, just maybe its not meant to be so kitten easy. Maybe we’re not meant to loot everything under few hours so everyone can walk around with complete Luminescent-armor set and then whine again when there’s nothing left to accomplish.

I don’t think you understand what we’re whining about. RNG DOESN’T MEAN hard.
We want HARD CONTENT.
We don’t want RNG CONTENT.

And this is RNG content, because ArenaNet doesn’t listen. We shout “We don’t want RNG” they hear “We love RNG, gib moar!”

You know what pains me a lot?

That Anet doesn’t care. They don’t respond to the topics in this section, but they’re eager to respond to the topics like “Omg look at my cute hat on my cute asura” with comment like “Oh that’s cute!”.

Plus, with every update they just put more and more grinding (now you have to get TWO PARTS OF BLADDER to get ONE ITEM FOR THE COLLECTION…wat).
I shudder to imagine what’s coming up next.
Not to mention their new ideas to suck the money out of us(Winter minis as a gemstore things, the same minis you could get from the achievements last year).

Still, it doesn’t really matter cause they don’t listen to us “whiners”.

Dear Anet….

You DO REALIZE, that that dye set is available on the BLT since last Living Story update right?

I mean….Is that on purpose or did you just forget to inform us about that the last time?

I just checked both the game patch notes and the wiki. None of them says anything about fangs being RNG.
Which looks like they did that on purpose as a stealth part of the update because…Reasons!

Can we PLEASE GET THE DEV IN HERE? Or will we be ignored because there are faar more important things to answer to? Like “World Tournament finishers”?

I don’t know if I should laugh or cry at the moment.

Exactly. I mean, what’s the point of RNG in here? It only makes us mad, it doesn’t make this thing more challenging.
I only hope we can get dev response in here, but I guess I ask for too much.

I hope that one of Devs is looking at this thread, or at least looked at it.

Because it is RIDICULOUS to make that things RNG.

I get it – they want to make it hard to get that stuff, but for the LOVE OF GOD WHY RNG?

You need to get 2k bandit crests to buy other carapace gloves skins = farming
You need to find a good server where people are doing the meta event = time consuming
You need to get all the achievements to get the item you need for the luminescent = challenging
You need to actually get an item to get an item needed for the collection with the crests = farming
You need to DO THE META EVENT = time consuming

And all of the above is fine by me. I’m okay with all the above, because it can’t be easy to get.

But putting RNG for the item you need for the collection? REALLY?

For the love of human gods Anet YOU GIVE US TITLE FOR OPENING THE CHEST INSIDE MAZE.

Just…Why?
I’m not mad, I’m just sad. Because it is sad, that, despite all those post about us not liking RNG, Anet still pushes it down our throat.

So can I get a response from the Dev what the hell?

Is it a bug? (PLEASE SAY YES ;____:)
Or is it intendent? If so, what are the kitten chances of getting the fang?

So, is it yet AGAIN great idea of putting RNG in the game, or is it just bugged thing now, that I’m getting tendoms instead of Fangs all the time from the bosses?

Are you sure that you just weren’t at the Maw during world boss spawn? Because the Maw chain, up until Totem, runs all the time. The World Boss, however, appears only once per 2(I think) hours.

For the info regarding the timers of the world bosses I’d suggest checking out one of the timer sites, for example http://guildwarstemple.com/dragontimer/

Your location: Poland
Time and date of incident (plus time zone): 2:00 AM 20.09.2014 GMT+1 I presume
Game World: Gunnar’s Hold
Brief description of what you’re seeing: Every player action except their movement stops. They run forward and don’t stop, nor change their path. After few seconds it disconnected me. When it doesn’t disconnect me I get fast forward in actions to present time in game.

Where is that room?

I’d like to know how did you do the achievements from the mission “Cornered”. I mean the one during the chase and the one about attacking from the hidden spot during final fight.

Thanks in advance

Well I’d like people not to spam in here about grammar, thank you very much. The point still stands – where do jump from there?

Yeah, I’m standing there wearing googles now…Where should I jump?D:

Sera.6539:

The Prime Hologram boss music is available on their SoundCloud page.

https://soundcloud.com/arenanet/guild-wars-2-battle-on-the

Thank you very much for the link ^^

Dear Anet,

Can we please please pleaseeee get the soundtyrack on the soundcloud?

I really REALLY need that music on my pc!

PS. If the links exist already, please give me them! Awesome work on the music guys!

Anyone have a solution on warrior? What skills to use to not get pushed back?

Vassyl.5246:

Dodge everything until Kasmeer starts to spawn her illusions. Then, for a short time, her shield will vanish (if you miss the moment, no problem – the shield gets removed periodically). If it vanished, just dodge into the ring room and finish her from behind.

Yeah, we’re talking about the achievement that you get for killing her before this phase mate

Yeah, this tactic isn’t working for me. I’ve tried it couple of times and every time she ko’d me anyways.

GH also had d/c.
The whole new patch is awesome, but come on Anet, really?x.x

Hey guys,

I’m curious about this, because I need only two achievements (to kill and kill heads) from this boss. The problem is, I don’t know which EU servers are doing it, and which do it like Deso does Tequatl now.

Is there any server/servers? And if yes, at what hours should I guest to be able to join up the run?

Sicarius.4639:

Never had a greater feeling of community than when we downed the Wurm.

The support, time, effort, words of encouragement and general good vibes and feelings for 150+ people trying to achieve something no one else has done was euphoric.

Not everyone could sit there for hours on end, it gave new players a chance to stand next to “veterans” of the encounter on multiple occasions, something that is much harder to do in an instances.

Yes, and now this “awesome” guys that killed Wurms earlier did the run only to get the keg bombs runs achievement, because screw those who weren’t there at the first kill.
Yeah, I agree with the concept of instanced raids, not things like this.

Hey, I’m pretty sure it’s a bug. The glory from the winning the tournament game does not count towards the rank achievements. Which, in my opinion, is a bug. If it’s not then sorry for bothering you guys

Tyrannus Blade.3408:

Deacon.9725:

niteskate.3641:

Found one in Harathi Hinterlands. Looks like Scarlets work…

scarlet

hide spoiler

in Thaumanova Reactor Scarlet mumbles somthing about not being a good idea to construct reactors on veins of dragon energy. So maybe she has found a way to extract dragon energy somehow…

It would also give nice explanations for the reason of the invasions…

I like this. It makes me think that Scarlet really is the anti-Trahearne. Molten Alliance, Toxic Alliance and Aetherblades are her version of the Vigil, Durmand Priory, and Whispers. Instead of trying to destroy the Dragons, Scarlet probably is trying to harness/tame them.

My fervent hope is that Kralkatorrik will be brought back and devour Scarlet for she is crunchy and will be good with ketchup.

Control is the means to survival. Control of the dragons.. and of you if necessary.

Oh god I love TIM. If Scarlet would try to control dragons…..BUT WAIT NO because that would imply that Traeherne is Shepard :O

Guuuys, more over – in Gendarran Fields both in villages and pirate hideouts appeared “suspiocius barrels”. But when you open them, it says they are empty.

Maybe there’s Traeherne hiding in one of them?

Guys, am I beggining to be paranoid or did this building, called simply “Do not touch” suddenly appeared all over Tyria?

I’ve seen one in Gendarran Fields and one in Harathi Hinderlands. Can anyone explain?

EDIT: It appears to be a Thumper of some sort.

Let’s share in this topic our ideas about Home Instance, and what to do with it to convince us to go there!

1. Merchants in the HI should sell stuff that you unlock with achievement points, LS, and during story line(for example: One of the merchants should sell Order armor and weapons, and for each order there would be one tab. That is of course, if you have finished story for every Order.) and other various items that would be otherwise hard to find.

2. Portals. In my opinion there should be portal in there for LA. I know, that every city has one, but still it would prove more useful.

3. Monumets. Implement the mechanic from the EOTN! Are you a proud member of the Vigil? Have their battle standar! You have beaten every single world boss? Have a monument erected in your name!

4. Every choice in the game should be somehow shown in the HI(and I’m not talking about for example having hyleks or skritt in there)

5. Create teleportation crystal to the home instance, that you can obtain only if you have at least one character lvl 80.

That’s my suggestions as for now, what about you guys? What do you think should be in there to make you want be there?:)

Kasteros.9847:

Yeap it is working at 2. run.

Well at least something. Still, it’s stupid that to unlock achievement about killing the hybrid you have to KILL THE HYBRID.

It’s like you’re not even trying in there Anet :P

Yeah I’ve just did the last story instance in the tower. I’ve defeated the Krait Hybrid and none of my party members died, yet I didn’t get any of the two achievements(the one regarding defeating Hybrid without dying and no progress on the “Tower Hybrid Slayer”).

Is it a bug or did I misunderstood something?

So you don’t even have to kill him for this achievement? :O

EDIT: You have to kill Tequatl AND don’t let turrets to get destroyed.

Isn’t TSS in America?

Isn’t TSS already full? I’d join them but I think they are full, plus I don’t know anyone from TSS.

There’s no achievement hunter guild guys? Nothing? Zero?:<

Hey guys,

I just wanted to ask if there is any guild out there that can do this achievement?
It’s the only one I need for the Title and I’m searching for people/guild that can do it and is willing to help others get it

Cheers!

Yeah guys, it was AWESOME.

As a native player of GH I’m honored to have fought beside you.
And I’m looking forward to fight side by side again tomorrow!

TS server was so happy. This fight was amazing.

I concur with the OP. I liked world 1 and I really want to do world 2, I’m not bad at jumping puzzles mind you. I have the same problem as OP – some of them look solid but when I try to jump on them they knockback me into water for no reason X.x

EDIT: Okay, so I’ve beaten the river puzzle in Zone 1. It seems that after the checkpoint in the water instead of trying to get on every water platform, on the next waterfall you should try to get to the rocks near turle. From there it is farily simple.

@Fafanury I feel you man, at first I was like “NO GAME DON’T DO THIS TO ME” and now I’m like "Oh, it’s THEM not ME, phew’

Their servers crashed, but I want info from them why and when they will fix it :C

I was looking at the achievements that I need to get and when I moved my cursor to the Cadeucus Manor achievemnt (the one with your progress of exploration with it) the line under the name of the achievemtn is saying that it’s the hangout place of Giganticus Lupicus.

The thing persistet after I logged in and out, so yeah guys:

You made a mistake! :P
A little one but I think you’d like to fix it
Cheers!

If you don’t like the game – quit.

I’m playing WvW and I am really happy with how it looks right now. I don’t really know what you expect, but instead of creating stupid topics with no information that can be classified as “constructive criticism” just leave. M’kay?

Thanks!

PS. If you DO have something interesting and intelligent to say, create or find a thread about it and just write it down.

Cheers!

Hi,

I’m looking for a well-organised guild that is able to provide support in everything, variating from helping in story mission, dungeon runs, to pvp and WvW.
I have two lvl 80 characters, and I know how to play.

I don’t want a guild in which TS is required, nor I want to write essays about “why I want to join”. TS is, of course, nice and I would gladly chat with people in the guild but I don’t want it to be necessary.
From my side I can provide support to other gamers.

I live in Poland so my time is(if I’m not wrong) GMT +1

Before you get any invitations from big guilds…

…Lemme introduce you to mine.

I’ve just started my own guild, on Gunmar’s Hold. Currently we have 2 players in it(yes I know it’s sounds hillarious), but next week we should be in a total number of four.
Dark Gathering, if it will start working, will focus mostly on PvE and Dungeon runs. And when I can’t really tell you that you will always find people to play with (since they will start and my third char is on lvl 4) but…You may want try that.
If yes, then just add me to friend list in-game and PM me when I’ll be online. If not, then hey – have fun in exploring this awesome world called Tyria!

Dark Gathering is newly created guild.
And by newly I really mean newly(2 members).
Our primary language is English.

Guild’s main purpose for now is to do runs on dungeons and help each other in various things. If my guild will become big enough, then we will turn to PvP and WvWvW.

If you’re not afraid to trying something new, and you value teamplay and you like helping others then this is a place for you!

Requiriments:

• At least 17 years old(or at least be mature enough to play with others)
• Patient and polite
  *Active!

We do not have teamspeak or forum, but these features can be added in time, if this guild will grow
