Guild Wars 2

??? They did not reveal flying mount and I hope it will stay as it is or I quit :o wtf no flying mounts, are you stupid people?
‘Just don’t use them’ pfff
I’d say: ‘Just don’t ask for such a silly, stupid things that will certainly 100% break the game’

Just LFG, there are plenty of people, you just need to wait few minutes… also find some guild, even if you’re not very social you can find some nice guilds.

I thought WoW players HATE flying mounts as it ‘broke the game’.
If Anet ever introduce flying mounts – then many players will leave (including me, no return to anything anet will make). Please don’t ask for flying mounts because you will force Anet to make them. Just don’t.

You probably need mastery to use other types of mounts than raptor.
So I’m against any other mounts since it’s (in my opinion) waste of mastery system…
also If Anet will ever consider adding new mounts I hope it won’t be a Kraka since it does not match anything in this game AT ALL.

I can still see beta characters on gw2 efficiency, and… I can not use names of my beta characters. Could you please clear these characters (beta slots) so we can use it on our normal characters?

I’m ok with underwater epxploration if we can use non underwater combat. You know Asuran tech makes water like air :lol: brilliant.

Well, personally I want it locked behind as many content as possible, also I’d like to see different type of hero points (like maybe call them purple hero points) so you can’t use normal hero points but move your lazy kitten fill maps and grab every single one hero point you spot on the map.
Why?
Because it is agains logic and any possible lore to make you unlock unknown content without even participating in it, it is stupid!!!
If you don’t want to unlock content but enjoy elite spec – go play pvp!!!
I can’t understand WvW players, you need some eq there anyways so you have to farm just like regular PvE guys so what is the problem?

I’d rather call it build swap and there were few threads like this, I hope we will see it soon xD

Maybe you are partially right, but it’s been 5 years and I doubt anything can be changed right now… if you really want to try new builds you can try it in pvp, or buy some greens/ exotics in pve before you decide on crafting ascended stuff, also there are only two sets of gear you would eventually craft for each professions: berserker and viper gear… and that’s it (many players will say its ‘easy’ and ‘cheap’ but we all know it’s extremely frustrating and expensive to craft in for the first time)
Legendary armor provides option to stat swap you asked for so it can’t be simply translated to any other gear sadly, it’s the only thing that makes legendary a legendary (ofc there is also a skin)

Because it is mix of necromancy and sandy yellow, what color is it supposed to be? Maybe tweak some settings – gamma/ post-processing and see you like it a bit more or not, I find this color quite nice…

also vomits are usually more mix of brown and yellow mixing with whatever stuff you ate so it could be a rainbow… it is completely different color xd

I will cry if they will make him support…
ANET 1st try: Ups we made Reaper condi, oh no
ANET 2nd try: Ups we made Scourge condi, it supposed to be support with powerful barriers, what to do what to do, also it is strange but… who made Necro deal damage? YOU ARE FIRED! Muahaha
XD

Axl.8924:

I am so glad i don’t pvp with necro anymore.I get sick of being free kill and being babysat 24/7 because babies can’t stand to fight strong enemies who can fight back.

I’d say it is really strong when used properly :o I’ve got top stats every match as Scourge

Don’t touch anything, it’s already awesome, barier works as intended and anet will not change it for sure… decay after 5s hah ;d that would be crazy op…
Maybe change Dessicate? Should it not be Desiccate? It should drain life force from more targets – now it’s mostly useful in pvp to stack life force before match :/

Hey, is there any schedule for next beta weekends, or… is it the last? I think it would be very nice to try them (a least once more) in some pve scenario

You! Oh, foo! Ooh! So mean! So…rawr!

Rawr! Quaggan is mad! Quaggan is foo furious! Quaggan hates you and the egg you came from.

I tried ele and it’s unimaginable some people can survive, I can’t possibly pull out any reasonable dmg – it is so squishy, also I think they should buff weaver because it doesnt seem that great/ strong as tempest.
1) lower cd on the same attument (double tam element) to 1s and to other attument to 3s (I think it is 4s right now)
2) tweak traits ;o during streamers beta – Peachy, Bog we saw some op elementalist’s traits… now I don’t find it competitive/ strong… (rather mediocre) but I dont play ele that much.

Linken.6345:

Yes please point me to a way to buy with dollars without vpn and I will do it gladly.

:’c

Dear Arena Net, just let us pay for American product in American prices – in USD, what is so strange, then no one will feel ‘scammed’ or whatever.

@Edit: @Just a flesh wound, hmm maybe you are right, it’s a bit screwed up or hard to imagine for us, Europeans so if we could compare it during purchase it would be just fine.
Also it’s hard to find some info about how taxes works in USA, it looks like there are different laws in every state etv. I would not ask for usd prices if I could see it, so thank you for bringing the numbers

Kaizoku.1298:

Needs to have increased initiative cost based on your malice. It’s too strong, 12k damage and also spammable.

Ok :’) Like srsly? First generate malice for over 10s, spam #3 to get some might, #4 and out of initiative and pray someone wont block/ reflect/ evade.
Are you thief player or just get rekt by one???

Rhanoa.3960:

Never ending topic about how the game continues to be GATED!

There is more than enough FREEDOM to build Profession, but it’s still never enough for some folks.

GW2 has more FREEDOM in builds compared to many MMORPGs out in the market.

We are lucky we do not have skill trees forcing you to follow one path.

Especially engi: 2 main hand weapons; pistol, riffle (100% of crappiness)… we all sink in builds yeah :’)

Weapons tied to elite spec is like the most stupid thing they could do, and they will not want to fix it because it will force them to make few more (#3) skills for weaver XD

“Oh no I forget how to use weapon because I changed my specialisation”
“I used to be a tempest but then I took sword in the knee, and cant warhorn anymore”
“There were times, I used to know how to use shield”
From logical site, it’s completely irrational to bind weapon to spec, how could you explain it in some kind of a ‘lore’

Hooglese.4860:

Trying to be as objective as possible, all info from sPvP. None of the specs need a rework just a renumbering.

Deadeye
The traits are great, but the new skills are overtuned. A single hit from death’s judgement can one shot a warrior that doesn’t notice you. With the thieves ability to teleport easily they can kite and shoot to a frustrating level, but ironically I don’t think it will be good in PvP due to the scrapper. I haven’t seen any but with all of the reflects from scrapper, deadeye isn’t going to be as strong as it seems. In PvE however, it’s going to have unmatchable dps on bosses, so it’s going to be a must pick with it’s current damage.

Not really, ofc it is fun to play… but it gets countered easily, just like with pew pew ranger, mirror/ reflection/ retaliation/ every wall ;o you can make him kill himself…
Also crazy dmg from judgement (insane initiative costs, red line, easy to avoid, projectile slow as hell xD) comes from malice stack, so you literally has to be marked like 10s and constantly hit Oo remember that deadeye is completely immobile to deal any dmg, and squishy as hell ~12k (1 shoted by daredevil) , almost no condi clear unless you take SA shadows embrace… there are trade-offs everywhere so it’s not op by any means

They should rework shatters ;o just like every specs change Guardia’s virtues, shatters kinda break mirage idea I think ;o also there is no useful traits :c ahhh I think axe shoul be ranged, melee condi sucks xD

Yeah guardian is like 55k burn in 3s, Holosmith is pretty much balanced

Well hammer Rev (aka best WvW choice Oo) counters any projectile build so what did you expect, it’s good there are some counters ;o

Well in contrary to all other thiefs being like ‘ohh this is gonna be great’ I used to be “Nooo Are you stupid Anet, thief is mobile blah blah… only mele blah blah”

NOW I kittenING LOVE DEADEYE <3 it is absolutely georgous, I love new steal, new steal skills, traits are awesome, I love spec’s icons, effects, style of playing, I was able to nuke around like some crazy squirrel XDD building malice is extremally fascinating, we are able to deal massive dmg – like 25k in some light armored/ no barrier classes while without it it’s kinda weak – but it’s some kind of a trade-off, I love it. Positioning, playing in stealth, building malice, focusing on one target, it is just awesome.
Also I’m really sorry for blaming you earlier Anet, I’m gonna fix my comments ;D
Thanks <3 This is gonna be my fav class (and Holo)

Actually I love HoT content, also I would care about Anet more if they could care about forum and people who give some kind of feedback here… also I’d suggest you to post it on reddit because there are more anet staff chilling around xD

There is an ugly outfit and title for pre purchase, I will wait till September for full content reviews and other mounts showcase… because of ‘motion sickness’ I am not sure I will enjoy PoF, so if you feel the same, just wait, these bonuses are not worth anything in my opinion :/

I bet there will be infinite UnID kit in itemshop.

Exactly, mounts are huge turn off for me as well, the main issue seems to be that mounts will be tools to play PoF so without mounts you simply can’t play. I don’t like how mounts are controlled (it’s reallly hard to move around) and move, many people have motion sickness when riding these raptor mounts, sadly we could not see other mounts.

Also I find it really sad and weird there is no transition between EXPANSION, just like Thornwolf said, there should be some updrafts and mushrooms around.

Anet you seem not to care so much about older players… sometimes you share some content for free and make angry older players who just feed you and dont get anything in exchange, other times people expect HoT to be free but you say ‘no no no no, that’s not what we said’ so HoT maps probably will be empty, and you cant travel in the jungle alone :o So maybe this time make an exception from your ‘Dont care rule’ and add content from HoT to PoF, mushrooms, updrafts, nunoch. HoT is not only about gliding and you will probably let ride mounts everywhere so it seems not fair.

Valkyrie is ‘Assaluter’ type of stat. You can get it (so far as I know) only from raids.

Well I bought basic HoT and I get additional character slot, I didn’t preorder, actually I bought it in 2016. I am surprised basic PoF won’t give character slot Oo

Ok, I was wrong I forget that I bought slot expansion.

Hi, I’ve got problem with mounts that no one else mentioned on forum…
It is really hard to control mount, its ‘controls’ a w s d movements are not ‘bound’ to camera, it’s so different than just moving around by foot. Normally I move forward/ change direction by moving camera around, while when riding a mount (raptor) I have my camera almost detached from my character, it doesn’t matter I rotate it/ move… and I move around on raptor by awsd like it’s some drone far away and I cant say where the heck am I going… anyone experienced similar problem?

App? It sounds like you use macOS. Then install App Cleaner and it will delete all gw2 files, below are paths to these files:
App: /Applications/Guild Wars 2.app
Caches: ~/Library/Caches/com.transgaming.guildwars2
Preferences: ~/Library/Preferences/com.transgaming.guildwars2.plist

It’s matter of preference. I love core gw2 and gw1 music – aka Soul’s soundtrack. I don’t like HoT nor PoF music. Also I find combat music annoying so I just disable it.

No dps meter for mac yet, I’d check out my dps but to be able to see other party members dps? How? Well to be fair I would want Anet to check out this soft and say: “This is OK, we checked it, it is legal, you can use it, check out code on redit if you want, anything else is illegal” – I think it should work base on API, anyone else could explain where does dps meter take data from about others dps?
Also Anet you should do something about guys looking at our gear, srsly wtf?

Well this most of content in this expansion is kitten, sadly I would not buy it but if we know Anet, new elite specs will be the only viable build option, not like they say ‘more variety’ (haha good joke Anet, you alost got us xD)
Unindified gear, ecto sand gambling, mounts, maps full of sand, I think story will suck, because I still have no idea why we go to the crystal desert, Balthazar ‘is bad guy now’ is kitten for me… plot, where is the plot? We had nothing about crystal desert so far, why there were no episode about crystal desert in LWS3?

Creating PoF expansion be like:
- Hey guys, let’s add mounts to the game
- No Steave, are you stupid? There are waipoints
- Ok, we will delete waypoints then, OK?
- Cmon, maps are too small, we don’t…
- OK, let’s make huge maps full of sand, people riding mounts won’t look at anything else, we will save time creating assets, MORE content over quality muaahahaha. Also let’s add crapton of gear and kittentons of materials people can’t store in bank to make people crazy about new 22 slot bags, they will need it, also they will buy 5 extra bag slots per character muahaha
- Steve, you’re cra… genius I mean
- We will add IDkits to itemshop to trigger people who dont want to gamble by unidentified crap muahaha

I agree it’s a bit strange there are no guild wars in… guild wars… 2… weeeeeird.

1) Well even whole Earth is more flat than a pancake, so I don’t see any problem here. *
3) I totally agree, they stretched everything to justify mounts. I hate mounts, especially bunny.
____
*If the pancake was size of Earth (obviously).

I’ve never ever seen worse beta xD Thank you Anet, that’s all you need to do to convince me to buy expansion ^^. Would you please add item to ItemShop that unlock elite specs from PoF for idk 5 EUR and saves me from this excitement adventure?
Sand… sand sand sand sand sand sand, that’s all for this amazing beta.
" I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere" and there’s no more content than sand…
except mount that ‘rides like pregnant cow’.
Sorry Anet, we saw way more in leaks and beta streams long time ago.

Quickfix, delete mounts ^^ but we all love mounts, especially crazy, lovely bunny mount what look so cute I could inject jew kilos of sugar straight to my veins ^^ And we love mounts because that is must have in every massive mmo, it’s also common that mounts are Big and block everything, so that’s pure fun.

I think it will be common not to see anything except huge mounts that cover all screen and crash game few times more than usually, rip gw2, anet you should implement mounts-free areas.

I hope mounts will be disabled in HoT and core game!!!

@Edit; Ahh also wait for legendary hyper shiny mounts that illuminate your eyes 4ever hah xD
@Edit2; Adenin.5973 OK
I just said there will be some hyper mounts skins in item shop, anet wont let you hide it and mounts kitten me off so much (especially bunny) the only thing I’d like to see now is “disable mounts” in settings tab and show ppl riding broomsticks or carpets instead.

It’s not a surprise for me, it’s obvious weaver will be overpowered and anet want you to buy expansion, ammount of barriers will compensate healing. They said that professions (I hope all of the professions) will get barriers in basic traits. Ele’s best DD and you can barely find place for anything else in teams so I think small nerf is needed to force people to change their profession.

Strange visual bug when clicking ‘F’ on NPC

I got random dcs more often than before. It’s really annoying. Also restarting the game take a long time, It would not take so long if I wouldn’t submit reports. I have no idea if it helps or do you even make use of it…
There’s even worse than usual because I can’t loggin back!!! I restarted router few times and still can’t loggin :/
@EDIT: Ok this is not mac version problem but yours Anet, you even cant tell us servers will be unavailable, it’s not that obvious even when beta starts because it’s in 3 or 4 hours, I would not waist my time in that case. You see that is your problem you can’t talk with us, we give you feedback but you don’t want it, you seem to dont care very often.

There is no list of bugs whatsoever so I doubt it is worth to write something here. Testing is reaaaaly hard on 64 bit because there’s camera bug not fixed for over month, random keyboard not responding bug… 32 bit almost stopped working from the time you announced 64 bit version so there is no alternatives.

Give us some list of bugs to fix so we don’t report one thing 5000 times.

Well what about mac client addons? If there will be one for windows, I want one for mac as well.

a) No. But full map completion gives ‘gifts of explorations (2)’ – you need these for crafting legendary weapon.
b) You need level 80 character, no story progress is required, your brand new character will be considered a ‘commander’ who made ‘amazing’ things – aka passed full base game story… I don’t want give you some spoilers here
c) Yes, the point is you can unlock elite specialisation by hero points from Tyria or Maguma jungle, after boosting character to 80 you will get enough points for unlocking all traits of base class (everything except elite spec) also it’s very easy to get it unlocked since you get 10 hero poitns for each ‘green hero point’ in maguma.

Feel free to boost your ranger, I wouldn’t recommend using booster if it is your first character ever in gw2 :P

Well… they killed ritualist even before Cantha expansion, now Revenant – Renegade will summon spirits (Chars spirits). Sad.

List of OP and awesomeness:
1) Spellbreaker
2) Weaver
3) Scourge
4) Holosmith
5) Firebrand (I know many guardians are kittened off but these skill animations are beautiful)
6) Renegade (I ‘main’ rev and consider these skill animations childish)
7) Deadeye (Sadly I also play thief :c, no aiming, pew pew, cs version for kittens)
8) Soulbeast (You made this spec in 5 mins, dont you Anet xd?)

I don’t know what to think about Mirrage – I’m too confused so I will leave it alone. Dodge without displacement – hmm I use dodge to escape from danger, not only evade dmg so meh. I don’t like crystal/ mirror (?) mechanics. It would be 8 or 9 on my list.
In few day we will cry that spellbreakers and weavers are so kittening op, we’re gonna quit and never come back because of how this kitten is op with all barriers what makes weaver especially immortal in earth attument.

I would throw steam to trash if I could, I don’t get all these steam hype and consider it useless.

If Anet will replace Balthazar I’m gonna quit immediately (I used to like that Kormir replaced Abaddon but now I think that was kitten, and who the kitten would replace him? Rytlock Brimstone??? Probably only because he has a blindfold, but there is a problem, he has eyes so Balthazar is going to eat them) How does mortal being could become a god? Then maybe we will rename ‘gods’ of tyria to ‘some kittens that dont care and gives nothing’? It was fun in gw1 – gods blessings etc… but now? Srsly? And why the heck god would use some Asuran inventions? Zaithan shoot by laser, Mordremoth being a lizard (fight in his mind woohoo), I think to defeat next elder dragon or maybe even GOD himself we will have to pass some jumping puzzles or new lizard PoF adventure!!! Also I hope we will fight Balthazar in his mind… that will be fun (I think we should continue killing these lizards and I think this whole ‘imbalance’ kittentalk after killing elderdragons is stupid, we could just absorb their energy in some ‘magitech’ Asuran invention)
Also I think it’s stupid undead dragon is … dead? Srsly anything change for Zaithan? These are corpses anyways right?
Mordremoth is alive as well, it was just a showcase to let him alone in his underground cavern where he plays with baby mordrems.
Ahhh also I dont like what you did to Primordus, he was Normal looking dragon back in gw1 now he’s some fire elemental spilling lava from his mouth, I don’t think anyone could possibly imagine smth more childish that’s why I cant wait for PoF expansion.

Well probably I’m going to change ‘main’ from Revenant to smth else. I thought Arena net would left RITUALIST THEMES for Cantha and would not contaminate revenant/ ritualist things with charr themes. I hate this charrs look/ behavior (salutes)/ voice/ I hate it’s Kalla not Pyre (I would stand Pyre but Kalla kitten me off and she wields GREATSWORD – don’t you see some problem Anet? Greatsword is not a shortbow, you know?) And what the hell is renegade icon, shortbow shooting greatswords? Also it’s condi and stupid animations where literally everything has to go thought the portal of the mist is just annoying. And kitten I really won’t forgive you for shattering my ritualist comeback dreams.

There are 2 types of mastery, red (Tyria) and green (HoT), these are separated and you can level them up only on corresponding maps – Tyria maps – Red mastery, HoT maps for green.

To get mastery points you need to:
click H -> go to achievements tab and look around, there are marks of mastery next to things you can do: personal story, bosses, collections, mastery insights etc.
to get HoT mastery you go to the HoT collections in achievement tab, you will get points for: story quests, participation in adventures in HoT maps, mastery insights and strongboxes (what are mostly easy to get when you’ve already leveled up gliding to 3) there’s quick link to one of the guides about HoT mastery: http://dulfy.net/2015/10/30/gw2-verdant-brinks-mastery-insights-and-strongboxes-guide/ you can find there more guides ( GW2 tab -> Heart of Thorns, there are also guides for core game) Gl hf ;D
After finishing core game story you should get ±11 Tyria mastery points (I don’t remember)
You will get huge ammount of HoT mastery during HoT story.
