Minis getting forgotten

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Riot.5210

Riot.5210

Yeah, I’ve found the minis in this game lackluster (and I love mini pets!)

Not only are they hard to store, I found that mine would disappear while questing, because it just could not keep up with me for some reason (no speed boosts, or blinking… Just running around).

Having an equip slot would be perfect, although it would be nice to have something similar to the WoW pet journal. I think you would see more pets being used if they were more accessible.

In my view, gw2 is geartrademill

Even if this were entirely true, supposing for arguments sake, what else is there to do at the end-game of an MMO? WoW has raiding, but that itself is a gear treadmill/loot pinata.

Dailies? We have that, a small version of it, and trying to implement more would likely do the same to GW2 as it did to WoW in the last quarter – hemorrhage subscriptions/players.

PvP? So far as I have seen, there is no perfect balance in any game, but we like to complain anyway.

Dungeons? We have tons of those, and it is certainly grindy to complete an armor set and get the weapons you need – but grindy can be motivating.

This is the typical formula for most games, and while I’m not saying that I would oppose more variety, I am just not sure what the answer is. Mini-games and jumping puzzles make me want to die, so none of that. >_>

For those unhappy with Treaharne

I hated Trahearne the second he asked me to do the “Ask the others if they like me” quest. I really wish you could’ve gone to each pact member, told them, “Hey, this guy we’re supposed to be following? This guy who is our military leader? The one who has a powerful, well regarded hero as an asset? Yeah, he wants to know if you like him.” Like effing high school.

I’m sure General Patton did the same thing. “Better to fight for something, than to live for nothing. Commanding officers, I want you to go to each individual soldier and ask them if they like me.”

Yeah, that’s not a colossal waste of time during a WAR.

YES! I did this quest just recently, and I remember thinking “Hmm, awfully insecure Commander about to lead us into Orr… Okay…” but I went around and I found the answers everyone gave interesting – but then the next step of the quest was simply to tattle.

Really?

So the whiny, insecure Commander tells me to go eavesdrop and collect information, and my fierce and loyal character gleefully skips off to give him a full report on who said what.

Forcing my character into a specific role is the one problem I have with GW2 storytelling. Everyone is a force of good – and not just yeah, I want to heal the world and do my part good – but annoying, simpering, Mary-Sue good. I would absolutely never be rude, or apathetic, because I will ALWAYS do the right thing! I have no flaws! I am goodness incarnate!

I liked Caithe far more than Trahearne. If you chose more aggressive options in your early story, Caithe would be like “Yeah, right on, I can’t wait to flay them alive!”

I was really confused when she suddenly was gone from the story, and really did not come back. =/

Preview and buying PvP gear.

I want to buy this PvP staff. It has the same skin as Emberspire, but I can’t seem to find any information on where to find it.

I also don’t know how to preview gear through the PvP locker panel. Everyone is always talking about it, but there is nothing on my PvP menu screen and no command to bring up anything that lets me preview gear.

When I go to Heart of the Mists, the only vendors there sell plain PvP stuff for 0 Glory Points.

I am so confused.

I’m just not a fan of any of the short styles, there are 3 that I like and the rest not so much. My personal taste does not count for much, but if you compare Sylvari to say Humans or Norn, it feels like there should be more. The Norn females have 3-4 pages of possible hairstyles, I believe – Humans as well?

I would love to be able to have Caithe’s face – however, we would face the same issue of everyone looking alike then as well. I guarantee that the majority of people would switch in an instant, given the chance.

There is one face I like but can’t use, there is wood on the face and the eyes look sad – but the chin is flattened at an angle and it looks very bizarre, like there is a big dent. o_O

Laurels. Thoughts?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Riot.5210

Riot.5210

The only issue I really have with it is the Dodging, that takes me forever. Some of my dodges do not seem to count, and seeing as how I play a Mesmer and Elementalist primarily, I do a lot of rolling around to stay at range.

I also have concerns about the crafting daily, although I am not sure how it works precisely as I have not run into the problem of all professions being maxed. Will it count if you continue to make Jute Cloth or something equally cheap if it no longer provides you with skill-ups? If not, and I am sure there are people out there, how do they complete this daily without crafting with seriously expensive materials? More of a theoretical concern, I suppose.

I would look forward to new ways to earn them, getting just one per day kills my inner-farmer. I like to grind things out when I have the time for it. I am a student and some days I have more time to sit and play video games than I do others. Not an obligation of course, but I do still want to earn the Laurels. I want one of the mini-pets >_>

No audio for any voice other than English?

Posted by: Riot.5210

So, I decided that I was going to switch my audio to French just to see what it was like, and I speak a bit of it, but I was surprised to find that there was simply no audio at all. Subtitles scrolled through the cinematic, but it is as if were muted. Switched back to English and the voices worked fine.

Is there a reason for this? Why offer the option of non-English audio if there is no audio to begin with?

I really, really wish there were more hairstyle options for the Sylvari. I have been debating on which race I want to make my Elementalist, but every time I customize a Sylvari I find myself staring at the hairstyle screen.

Customization in this game is amazing, but I certainly have far more options with hair on a Norn or Human.

I have been wrestling with what race I should choose for my Elementalist (I have one that is Asura, but after looking at the gear models I decided to switch), and it looks like I might try out a Human.

I love the way the hair was done in this game, every style is animated and textured so well, but I am afraid of clipping.

With light armor is clipping going to be a terrible issue?

So are there any future plans for Karma?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Riot.5210

Riot.5210

I’ve only just begun playing, my Mesmer is level 55 and I’ve been around for a couple of weeks, and already I am picking up a fair amount of Karma. I finally decided to go and buy some transmog gear when I hit level 50 but was surprised that I only needed gold to buy my cultural gear.

So, what exactly is Karma meant to be used for?

There are a few crafting recipes, and of course you can buy some ingredients for cooking (if you are brave enough to master that profession!).

A few pieces of armor here and there from Heart/Quest givers, although most of what they offer do not have unique skins.

Cultural weapons.

Salvage kits.

Gathering tools.

Can you buy the Orr armor sets with Karma, or is that gold?

I am fairly sure even your story faction (Priory/Vigil/Order of Whispers) has gear skins that are bought with gold rather than Karma.

What else?

I see a lot of people complaining about having so much Karma going to waste on their main character, as they have everything they need and it just keeps adding up.

Surely karma was not a currency implemented just to taper off in usefulness, right? Have there been any mention of plans of what it might be used for in the future?

Transfer costs with no toons?

World transfers cost money as of today, a flat rate.

I think what OP is saying that he is not sure if he deletes all of his characters if he will still have to pay to transfer servers. There would be no characters to move, therefore no ties to the world he originally chose.

I would think that with 0 characters on the account you should be able to choose a world, if not I would contact customer service (live chat preferably) and see if there is a way around having to pay to move an empty character screen.

How difficult would adding race changes be?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Riot.5210

Riot.5210

@Riot – No, your friend was correct, about the Jugs of Karma being account-bound, say if you wanted to use them for a different character, it’s just the Karma provided is linked to the character you use the consumable with. You should’ve kept those jugs in your bank vault, to use with a different character. It’s ok though, you made a mistake; but don’t say your friend was wrong, because he was actually right about what he said.

I meant to say, he said that once I used the jugs every character would have access – i knew the jugs themselves were account bound because I could move them between characters.

But he is new to the game as well, so it was an honest mistake. :P

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Riot.5210

Riot.5210

It wouldn’t be difficult. It would be pointless and ridiculous.

Why is it pointless? I have a Charr Necromancer that I dont like because, well, it’s i Charr in light armor.. I would pay for a race change since I have 300+ hours on him, the dyes I want, full explorer. BUT, I’m not satisfied with the look of armors because most of them has clipping issues.

Ummm…that’s why you pick the character race/class combo you like the MOST as your first character. Sound familiar? Please, don’t bring WoW-elements into the Guild Wars universe. Race/Gender change is a WoW thing, and when it comes down to it, GW is far more realistic than WoW – always has been. I have a question for you, Sir. ANet never planned for GW to be so unrealistic. There’s still real-life elements to it…such as not being able to change your race. You realize, that in real life, you can never change the fact you are human, to become some other sentient being. Unless you went through drastic measures and chose to live your life in the wilds, but even that is unreasonable. If it’s unreasonable in real life, it should be unreasonable in PC games, and it IS unreasonable. WoW is currently the only PC game that offers Race Changes, though it shouldn’t have had. The happiest of people don’t have everything they want; they make the best of what they already have. You had the ability to create the perfect character for yourself, and chose to settle for less – deal with it! I’m not trolling at all. I’ve noticed several people bringing in WoW elements into this game in particular, but why THIS game? Why not the other MMOs out there? But, just to note, to expect ANet, a very down-to-Earth company, it’s very unlikely to implement something that is unreasonable to provide. Also, WoW is unlike all other MMO’s w/ traditional quests, because the quests in WoW are actually shared across ALL races/genders. Most other MMO’s, even traditional questing, have at least a gender/race lock, for dialogue purposes. To request a Race Change, is to ask the entire company to redesign all of GW2, at its very base itself, all over again. Might as well ask to have all servers shut down too, while you’re at it. Again, I’m not trolling; my point is…Race Changes are unreasonable to provide. This is just my opinion on the matter, supported by clear evidence.

I would not say anyone asking for a race change is asking for Anet to re-design the game – we have the technology! Rival games have mastered it, it is old news, it is just one more thing to pull people away from those old games to Guild Wars. In terms of actually applying the feature it would not be as difficult as you say, so long as you have a minimum level requirement to ensure that anything related to personal story is completely finished.

Nobody suggested making all questing linear for every race, either. One of the best parts of Guild Wars is the variety in questing, but that does not mean much once you have hit level 80 and you realize that none of the armor sets you like are available to you, or they glitch through your model, or they render you bald (in the case of female Asura).

It’s a quality of life feature, that is all. It is a way to bring in money, and I am sure Anet knows that games like WoW make a killing off additional services. Seeing as how Guild Wars is only supported by the initial buy-in price of the game, and then gems after the fact, offering more and more in terms of additional services and vanity items is simply good business.

They may not implement race changes, maybe not so early when people are motivated enough to simply re-roll if they want it bad enough, but that is the thought process that goes into making decisions like this.

It all comes down to enjoyability and integrity of the game, and dollars and cents – none of which is threatened by vanity services.

I have been wondering about this myself.

Being that I only started the game a few weeks ago, while I was leveling an Asuran Elementalist alt a friend told me that Karma was account-wide and said i shouldn’t keep the jugs of karma stacked in my bank (I wanted to choose a main before using my supply) so I just used them all on this level 12 Asuran Elementalist – and then found out he was wrong.

That would not be such a bad thing, except I got around to actually looking at the gear models I have to look forward to as a female Asura and I am underwhelmed. Every head-piece makes me bald, and wouldn’t want her to be dressed in magical lingerie like the other races I wish there were more robes, or something just a tiny bit more feminine. I’m going to look like a bald boy no matter what I do.

Do I delete the character and waste that karma? Do I fill my bank with salvage kits?

Or could I level as an Asura and eventually race change? I’d be up for that.

The coat has little leafy-wing tendrils coming from the shoulders, so I think it is just a matter of not being able to cover them. I would have thought the couple small wings would have been what the epaulets were, leaving the long wings to be included in the coat.

I just opted not to buy them and chose the ‘hide shoulder’ option so my set does not look incomplete. I just thought it was so strange, glad it is not just me.

So, I finally dressed my female Mesmer up in the Light Tier 2 get up, however when I was previewing the gear I did not see any visible difference between the coat on it’s own and the shoulders/epaulets.

Either way, whether you hide the shoulders or not, there does not seem to be any visible difference.

Is it like this for everyone else? Am I going crazy?

Not sure if this has been mentioned, did not see it on the first few pages here, but I am frequently getting an error when I try to sell things on the BLTP. I can resolve this by closing the trade window and opening it again, although sometimes that means closing it after every second item in order to clear out the rest of my inventory – making this feature extremely time consuming.

This happens when I use the “mobile” trading post, and also when you go and speak to an actual NPC like you would to pick up your items.

I just did not know if there was any lore relating them to humans, thus explaining why they are limited in skin pigmentation in the way you are describing. If not, they are not human, so what is stopping them from being any other colour?

Ah, I know there are “colour” options, in that the greyness has a very slight, barely noticeable tint.

An entire server dedicated to being able to preview your character naked, despite the bread and butter of the game being acquiring shiny loots to clothe, defend and arm that character?

A lot more attention to detail went into the rendering and texture of the armor than the skin and naughty bits, I am sure.

So basically just a /naked button for fun?

I don’t care about nudity in games or the media or anything, but I do think there should be some sort of purpose. Also, RPing does not apply here, because MMORPGs are not ERP platforms, they are gaming platforms. o_O;

I did not know this was a thing. I was just going to buy a gem card and exchange it for gold to sell it when I get paid. o_O $20 at EB Games gets you 2000 gems (weird, because it is only 1600 in the gem store for the same price), which gives you probably around 30g? It’s not too difficult. If I had known this was going to drop I would not have spent so many gems on the sale on mini-pets the other day. >_>

I was speaking more to the fact that it is random, and even just after a few days of playing, my third Black Lion chest had this for me, I had no idea what it was. I am not sure how rare it is, but it might not be impossible to find one in a chest if you’ve got enough gold/gems to afford a bunch of keys. From what I have heard from people they have bought extra bank tabs just to hold their dozens and dozens of unopened chests by the time they hit level 80.

It is just sitting in my bank, waiting. I made 10g in a week and a half of playing I’m not too worried about not being able to sell it. I post it in map chat every so often.

EDIT: Actually scrolled down and read the rest of the thread you linked, and no, that was not me. I don’t know anybody in the game yet, and I’m not taking gold from anyone I don’t know. People on either end of that arrangement can be kitteny – I could not reciprocate, or I could end up paying back whatever loan I took and have that person deny that I did. Also, my grammar is much better. :P

EDIT again: …kitteny? I wondered why everyone was talking about kittens on the forums. Is this the censor system in place? o_o;

Oh, I guess Transmog is more of a WoW term. Transmog, as in Transmogrification – copying the skin of one set of gear over another (although in WoW you don’t lose the original skins when you use them).

So, if I were to save all the gear I get from my story quests, for example, if I were to transmog those quest reward items over new gear I would lose those pieces as well?

Or else the cultural gear, as another example.

So there is really no difference?

So, I am fan of the Medium armor skin set but I see a great many other people shrugging this sale off because the skins are so limited in their use. I’m new to the game, and I really don’t understand how transmutation stones work, or how many times I can re-use the set.

So, can anyone tell me if these armor sets are really more trouble than they are worth?

I have 70 silver. Level 10, so much more of a ways to go.

Being broke sucks because the dyes do not drop for me! Rrrgh!

Can't change the country in Billing Address?

And I would do that by making a ticket via the website?

I am not sure if the Live Chat has hours of operation, I’ve never seen it available.

I am trying to buy some gems in-game, but when I attempt to fill out the Billing information for my card, or Paypal for that matter, I have no option to change the country.

The country is stuck as USA, but I live in Canada.

I don’t see anything in My Account related to my address, or my established billing information, and thus no way to change it. Certainly, players would have to deal with this issue if they were to move (for example) so surely there must be a way.

What do I do?

Nothing wrong with quality of life features. Certainly doesn’t hurt anything!

I may be lazy, but each individual character worked hard for their dye! Immersion breaking fiend!

Ah, I see. For now I just want to save up for a Air Elemental mini-pet, as I play an Air Elementalist. :P

I was a little disappointed when I realized that in order to use my CE mini-pet I have to trade it between characters via the bank.

Are there any plans for this in the future?

Thanks!

And am I correct in assuming that if I buy gems, I can sell them for gold? I just hate being broke in a new game, haha.

I am not 100% clear on the acquisition of gems outside of in-game gold, but seeing as how I am brand new to the game I have no gold, so I am wondering how I would buy it with RL currency?

Is this the same place that you would buy character slots?

Where do I find it? (I can’t find anything on the website shop).

I’m sorry if this is in a FAQ or has been asked before, I just can’t seem to get a clear answer. >_>;
