Guild Wars 2

Short answer, yes.

What I would actually like is for charr and asura to still have different male/female models, but for those models not to use human/norn/sylvari anatomy. I would like to have the legendary armor precursor actually be well designed for each race and gender.

But if the only two options are “keep the boob plates” or “use the male model”, I’ll go with “use the male model”.

One of the stages I was just on had only one of the parts visibly filled (upper), yet the only option available to me was to join on the middle part. There was another person there presumably trying to join the third “empty” spot, but they gave up and left after a few songs.

During the songs, the notes came towards the empty spot as if there were someone standing there, but since no one could load into that spot to play said notes, the bar on the right would stay completely empty. It remained this way for the rest of the instance – no one could join, but the game acted as if the spot was already filled.

I seem to have a weird bug in the beta where, when I move, the shadows on the ground move with me until I stop. Only after I stop do they update. This results in things like the dappled forest effect following me all the way up the tunnel in the beta instance. Unfortunately I don’t have any recording software, or I would record an example, but if someone else is experiencing this perhaps they could record something? =x

EDIT: I took the best screenshots I could to represent this bug: http://imgur.com/a/lMXh2

I really love the new healthbars in the Squad UI, but could we get a color differentiation for necro shrouds? It will probably be very confusing to glance over and think "Oh no they’re dying " but it’s just their DS running out. =x

Thanks! Posting

Perhaps it’s just because I’m playing as Reaper, and their GS damage got a significant buff since last BWE, but these red frogs seem to go down in just a few hits and offer no challenge at all. I like the fact that the Shadowleapers teleport around, because it’s a cool mechanic, but it doesn’t really help them when they still die in just a few seconds to conditions and the GS autoattack.

Anyone else find that these Itzel go down super fast? =/

HoT is not out yet, you’re just pre-ordering it like you can do with any other game. Buying it early gives you access to the beta testing, and means you get in on the day it’s released.

If you buy HoT you get the base game free. If you already have the base game, you still must buy HoT.

When HoT is released your characters will still be on the same server but they will have access to areas and skills and weapons that people who have not bought HoT will not. You can still talk to and see people who do not have HoT.

A few times during the beta I found myself looking down at my mastery progress to see the bar completely filled, and I had no idea how long it had been so. What would you think about a small little pop-up to let people know that their track is full, so they don’t end up wasting time gaining exp which doesn’t count towards anything for an hour+?

I noticed an odd nearly-transparent boon icon on the Mordrem Cavaliers during the last phase of the beta. Hovering over it either provided no description or just said that it was self-applied.

NOTE: It’s hard to see. In the first screenshot it’s on the far left of the conditions, in the second it’s right under the “F” of “Frenzies”.

Came here just to post this very same thing, actually. Putting on and taking off an outfit fixed the preview window briefly, but when I closed and reopened it it was back to the monochrome look.

Why even hide the vista markers until level ten? What’s the point? Isn’t the fun part of being a new player seeing all the markers on the map and going to check them out? I thought it was the coolest thing when I started out; right at level 2 as I wandered out into my starting area as a norn, I was like “whoa, what’s that red thing on the map? Where is it? I should find it!” and then I looked around and did this short little detour to get to it and suddenly I had the most amazing view of the area I was going to be exploring that night.

Why take that out?

Just wanted to say that as someone who joined once we were already locked into the tier with BP and AR, this was absolutely the best night I have had in WvWvW ever. For the first time, I faced people with absolutely phenomenal map presence, effective scouting, and feinting tactics. Plus some truly terrifying necromancers and PC-breaking open battles.

Thank you, Fort Aspenwood and Maguuma. It’s been a pleasure to meet you guys. See you again tomorrow. <3
