This is a scammer right? Because I reported him as a scammer.

(I cut out the link because despite having support.guildwars2.com it has something shady afterwards. some numbers)

What I wanted to post and originally wrote had a Message Body Length over 5001 as I’ve learned in the preview so instead of splitting it into 3 posts and clotting this thread, I decided to just screenshot it and attach the picture of what I originally wrote as a reply to you. Here you go.

O gad no ;_; pls, don’t.

Pls just leave it the way it is, o gad why, cruel world….

Look, whatever you do, just make it optional, okay? Just, whatever you do with the camera view, make it optional and make it so that those of us that like it the way it is and wanna leave it the way it is will have an option to use the old settings and the old view, okay? Pls don’t force us to use the new ones.

I know it could be great and more awesomeurr than the old one, but some of us like it the way it is and wanna leave it that way so let us have that option.

Some of us like things the way they are after we get used to them, so we’re adversant to change.

that’s it. that’s all i wanted to say.

Chewablesleeptablet.3185:

What is being given(based on what colin calls major features) in this expansion is somewhat similar to what we have been getting in feature updates and very small.

One new profession. NO new race. No new dungeons.(we got fractals for free!) Another region comprised of at least 3 maps(southsun cove, silverwastes, dry top, all free.)

Specializations( only one weapon added to each profession and not giving universal weapon usage amongst all professions.)

Guild Halls, should have been in the game at launch. Stronghold , same thing.

CORE GW1 was released with so many of these features plus TEMPLATES!

I say expansion is too big of a word for this.

I would rather call this
" If you don’t buy it you will be left behind." I will buy it of course but it just doesn’t feel right to call this small DLC that could have been free an expansion.

Apparently the sales in China did not make any profit for Anet to keep the dream alive.

Really feels like I am paying for a fix. A reason why I didn’t buy Diablo 3 expansion.

Wait lets call it Paid Living Story

I know! That’s what I said. It feels like extra content one would expect to see as an option to buy in the gem store.

Just Wondering.6357:

Hi , i am still in the process of downloading GW2 , but i want to start off on the right foot , i am based in the U.K so therefore i will be playing on a EU server , but i am wondering which of the EU servers is a good server with a good balance of English speaking players please ?

I did consider going with a NA server but based on me been asleep when a lot of the games events where happening due to the Time difference , i figured best to pick a EU server .

Help and advice welcomed

Desolation.

They had the world first Tequatl kill:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzCNYbfHoRU

They had the world first Jungle Wurm kill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQ_1F2hLDVo

And they are T1 in WvW. Top 3 in PvP and PvE, so all your needs will be met there and you won’t miss out on anything.

omg LOL that’s too funny LMAO i’m dying over here hahahahahahaha

i’m done LOL

Lindbur.2537:

Silverwastes jumping puzzle, though I bought mine for 18g

18g? LOL DUDE you could’ve gotten it for free like 10 times, all you had to do is wait for someone to put it in the LFG…tsk tsk what a waste of moniez €_€

It’s nice to have an FOTM character, and then toons for everything else.

I got 2 mining toons, I got 1 fotm toon, I got 2 dungeon toons, 2 world boss toon and a pvp/wvw toon

It’s nice to have 1 of each and be prepared for anything

Chmielowiec.3298:

I live in NA, theres a lot of servers though, and I don’t have any friends playing this game, how do I pick a server good for me? Should I look for a guild first?

If you’re on NA pick BlackGate and if you’re on EU pick Desolation

Well you can make an easy 13 run from doing all the easy and fast dungeon runs.
Then another easy 30g if you have 8 lvl 80 toons and you feel like running around and mining while listening to music(I really like chillstep).
And then, what else. Well, you can go to SilverWastes at the moment and farm there, you can get an easy 30g a day there.

The thing is, with the living story, where and how you can earn money changes constantly.

You quit 2 years ago, so you basically missed ALL the good and easy ways to make money. You gotta play and keep up with the LS to make money. That’s the fastest and best way from my experience.

Hope that helped
Peace & Chill dude

Abyss and celestial are the best.

WuGzaGenius.5684:

Im trying to understand why people don’t like it or are attracted to SPvP, If you ask the PvP forums they all respond with things like “tank meta” or “MMR / leaderboard structure”.

Why dont PvE’ers and WvW’ers like SPvP??
What could be done to fix* it?

I am not talking about custom or unranked PvP

Not enough maps.

cloudjsh.7814:

So I’ve had ~8 years of Tabletop RPG experience since my good ’ol days with AD&D back in the day.

I’m curious if there are any Tabletop RPG fans out there who would like to see a GW2 adaption.

And not a d20 clone either.

I’m thinking more of an original system that best captures the feel of GW2 yet transitions well to pen and paper. Note, I’m thinking along the lines of a tabletop storytelling, character-building, roleplaying game, not a stat-crunching, number-stacking, miniature wargame.

Any Tabletop fans out there that have been wishing to trek across Tyria with their buddies away from the computer screen?

I had to google it to learn what a tabletop rpg is.

No.

Opening instance in Dry Top with Kasmeer and Marjory…

Two Veteran Golems and two inquest. I’m a guardian in full exotic.

Utilized every skill on CD and died three times.

The NPCS are USELESS! They stand around and frickin gab instead of attacking and when they do attack… WEAK WEAK WEAK.

What was the point of this? Why was it made to be so hard as a solo instance? I can only dodge so much and I can only use so many abilities.

Oh and sure, I can go ranged… and do as much dmg as the useless NPCs with me.

All you have to do is use your shortbow and run in a circle

Shpongle.6025:

Nothing. Just keep playing like I always play. Even without an expansion I still have so much left to do, I have for another year of content to go through that I plan to do.

And I have 22,5k AP. But there’s still so much left for me to do I feel like an expansion now would be to soon, a year from now in January 2016 would be the perfect time for an expansion imo, because that’s when I’ll ’’finish’’ the game and be done with everything there is to do.

Really? How do you have “a year of content”? You mean REPLAY content for achievments/collections?
I’m just curious what content i’m missing, since I only have 10,2 k ap, but already seen everything way to many times

No I never replay content I only do it once.

Kate Soulguard.7132:

So… I have to rant because of my noobish blunder, I guess you’d call it.

Restarted Echoes of the Past to do the challenges and worked on them for a couple of days. Got to Glint’s Lair and dove in. At the Exposed Weakness: Redux challenge, I failed. Then I nearly kittened my pants because the next cutscene started. But then it was over and I was able to continue. So, I talked to the Mote and recalled the Malevolent Memory. Started the fight again.

I accidentally hit the Use key while running past that NPC that spawns right there near the last fight. I didn’t have the presence of mind to log out or anything after this. I just sat there in shock once I was taken out of the Lair, and begrudgingly went through the dialogue until the story step was completed.

Then I nodded. I said to myself:

Yep.
.
.
.
.
…Yep.

Then I looked up at my ceiling and gave it the middle finger. I’m not sure why I did this, but it was much more therapeutic than I realized it would be. I highly recommend it.

So… Any advice? Can I fix this or do I need to restart the whole thing? Right now it just seems like two days of work, down the drain. :-(

As a service to people who are going to reply with this solution, I am offering it up as a copy-and-paste option:

Just pay the 10gp + 1000 Bandit Crests and be done with it.

:-(

You’re adorable

Here’s what I want:

More toys
More instruments ( violin pls violin i’ve been asking for violin for ages)
More finishers (pls cooler finishers like spectre, death avatar, sanctified and more funny/cute finishers like lama and quaggan)

Yeah that’s about it. It’s all I ever buy: toys, finishers and instruments.

Nothing. Just keep playing like I always play. Even without an expansion I still have so much left to do, I have for another year of content to go through that I plan to do.

And I have 22,5k AP. But there’s still so much left for me to do I feel like an expansion now would be to soon, a year from now in January 2016 would be the perfect time for an expansion imo, because that’s when I’ll ’’finish’’ the game and be done with everything there is to do.

I mean it looks pretty but other than the LFG panel you just turned it into a tablet. It feels like Windows 8 or iPhone….so thumbs down from me.

BUT the LFG is better the way you did it imo. Really nice LFG tool. Everything else is… no. Just no.

I remember when they nerfed the ecto droprate from salvaging rares. I remember it as ‘’on the 20th’’ but I can’t remember how many months ago. I used to ALWAYS get 2-3 ectos before that. Then I salvaged 25 rares and got 0 ectos. I’ve been selling rares ever since. Never salvage.

Crystal Reid.2481:

The designer behind the Vinewraith was Lisa Davis. You might remember her from such releases such as the Marionette, and Super Adventure Box! (But really, there isn’t just one boss designer on the Living World as all the designers contribute to the encounters in both design, implementation, and feedback. They all deserve cookies.)

And milk! It’s a sin to eat cookies without milk

SkylightMoon.1980:

I figured the new world boss would be a mega-boss type scenario, unfortunately its not. I don’t understand why we can’t have organized group level difficulty. Anet has designed the perfect system for this with the multiple-tier event system that can cater to casual and hardcore alike.

A good example of the perfectly designed event was Escape from Lions arch. It has like 5 difficulties of tier completion. Lower to mid were for pugs and it was fine, then there was a high 1500 citizens saved(or 1200) which needed an organized group usually, and that was perfect for guilds.

I don’t see why this wasn’t done with silverwastes or dry top. All that really needs to be done is adding another tier that is the hardcore tier. I think thats actually a more efficient way of designing hardcore content, because its so easy to do. You could make any event have a hardcore level difficulty, if naturally it has a tier system to it.

Cause it sucks, dude!

Liadri to this day was the worst content ever made.

And this is coming from someone who got ALL Liadri achievements.

Logos.1306:

Before Sylvari players rage, let me say that I am kidding

But then again when I think about it is somewhat epic. Something that did not happen in any MMO.
One group of players , one race would be banished from rest of community. They will feel anger, loneliness, hate. People will kick then from party and guilds. Then Anet should enable open world PvP towards sylvari. So they could be attacked anytime. They would run and hide in their home town. No other races would have access to Grove. Playing sylvari would be so interesting!

Then one day they will come back with ravange. Asura will know about this and will form Arcane Order. Asura players who will join this group will hunt and kill all sylvari.
We will use new Arcane outfit because it look like Jedi robe. We would have secret meetings and things like that

Wouldn’t it be fun?

What’s with all this sylvariphobia? Sylvari are people too. Chill, dude.

Togashi Jack.9531:

So, for finishing the Point of No Return story we get rewarded with, among other things, a Bandit Chest in our home instance, which like all other things in the home instance is a once per day object.. Yet it still consumes Skeleton keys. Can someone explain the rationale behind this?

+1 I concurr, that would be cool

jokke.6239:

So, since we might get an expansion soon, arena net probably wouldn’t mind some tips for their advertisement.

I remember surfing some RIFT videos on youtube, and fell over a recommended video of the anet developers presenting Tequatl the Sunless. I was absolutely baffled that the boss I was looking at was actually from an mmorpg :P Then one of the devs said “This is one of our little dragons ..”
And then I put on my shoes and jacket and went to gamestop and bought the game ^^
.. So, if you have some epic new boss battles in the upcoming pax presentation, don’t hold back

What made you empty your wallets and insta buy Guild Wars 2 :P?
(maybe mostly directed to people who didn’t play GW1, unless your answer is different than “GW1 made me buy it” ^^)

GW1

Vix.6730:

I guess all of social media, word of mouth and whatever print ads you’re running for PAX wasn’t enough – you have to bombard players in-game too? Shameless advertising. The trailer was done in very bad taste. A nice kick to the groin for those players still around to enjoy your content.

PAX better be worth our trouble.

I think everyone is blowing it out of proportion it might just be some sort of new LS content or a new way of delivering content? Like something unique and absolutely undone never before?

Kite.2510:

A thread where everyone can post what they wish from the next expansion pack.
Please don’t bother here with little stuff (ex. balance of a certain profession skill), as they can easily be done with a patch or two. Only big stuff allowed!

I know that HoT has not been officially confirmed as an expansion yet, but all clues are pointing to it, and we can safely say that 95% likely it is! (and I can’t even begin to imagine the reaction of the community if it isn’t)

Let me start:
(/takes a big breath)

At least 8 new maps! Seeing how it took an entire season to make just two of them, I’ll try to be realistic and not ask for much. Eight areas means 2 or 3 new zones, which are good if you think how the game started with 4 for leveling and an incomplete for end-level (/coughOrrcough).

World V World overhaul! With 3 of the 4 main maps being identical, and all of them being exploited to zerg fests, an overhaul that would encourage strategic attack and defending would be the most welcome!

Fix the original Personal Story! If it’s a let down for many new players coming to the game, this should be the ideal time to fix it! I would suggest more cinematic camera angles with no art background for the talking cutscenes, and a few video cutscenes added to better introduce the characters and enhance the important moments. Those would involve calling back the character voice actors, and seeing that our characters haven’t got a new line since launch, i think this would be the perfect time!

Intro Cinematic! I don’t expect anything on Blizzard’s level of quality, but I can’t deny that cinematics like these help you get invested much better to the world and conflict of the game. In the world of movies they say “Show! Don’t tell!”. (In the world of games they say “Play. Don’t show!” but given the limits of the engine of an MMO, A-net should ignore that rule.)

New weapon type! The clever thing to do would be to make amphibious weapons, and allow spears out of water, and daggers underwater, wile allowing professions with no access to those, to have access to other existing types they should had. (Maces for engees)

PVE rebalance! I’m obviously asking to fix the zerker gear problem, where it’s so much more useful than the other stat combinations that it’s making them absolute. In an expansion people are expecting great changes in the gameplay, so it will be perfect chance to slip this among them.

NO NEW LEVEL CAP! No new level cap…

I’m starting to think it’s just Living Story content.

But I would like the following:

1. Violin in the gem store
2. Underworld as an AR dungeon, high end, endgame
3. SAB 3 \o/

That’s pretty much it.

Candy.6835:

Seriously stop it. I’m tired of having only male options. If you’re going to Unisex EVERYTHING for charr and asura then at least unisex the female version. I’m TIRED of only having the male options (for major example is the Carapace outfit, I LOVE the butterflies for shoulder armor BUT because I’m an asura I only get male stuff.

If Asura/charr don’t care what type of armor they’re wearing then Unisex the female version too (or Choose the female version instead of the male to move over). I’m tired of pants or pant/skirts. I want dresses and other lovely things.

If them being male/female DIDN’T matter their swimsuits/undergarments would not be covering what they do on the females so give us options.

I’m just getting really tired of this. You know how many actual dresses Asura have options to? Like 3 for armor skins.

3.

Out of HOW MANY armor skins? It’s seriously lacking.

Chill. It’s just gender. Not that big of a deal, really. If you think about it, when we’re in the womb a fetus doesn’t develop gender specific traits until in later stages of fetal development, so at one point we’re the same gender.

How’s that for mind blowing.

warbignime.4610:

Add a crosshair in the middle of screen, which you can use to aim at. You also deal bonus damage when you do headshot, or cripple when u hit the leg. It’s very similar to combat mode(a mod from reddit). It’s going to make combat so exciting.

That’s the worst idea ever. That’s too much, man. You got Counter Strike for that

Hunter.4783:

No way i will be trusting walking vegetables with my life…especially now that they are officially buddies with Mordie.

So i will be starting to kick all Sylvari from my parties, just to be safe. If you are an agent of Mordie, touche!
But if you happen to be an untouched one, sorry too bad, life in Tyria is not fair, get used to it.

So if you randomly get kicked from a party with no warning and you are Sylvari…that was probably me.

Meanie ; _ ;

On behalf of all the players in GW2 (even the stinky meanies), I want to wish you all Happy New Years and an awesome 2015! We’re already 3 hours 59 mins in 2015 here in Europe.

Now that we got that out of the way, here’s what I expected to see in the game in 2014, but didn’t see

-The next installment of the Supah-Awesome supah advenchurr fanbawks
-Violin instrument in the gem store
-A new AR requirement dungeon(such as Underworld or Fissure of Woe or Domain of Anguish)
-New funny absurd gem store hairstyles like the guy in the picture or something similar

Here’s what I expect from you in the game, in 2015:

-The next installment of the Supah-Awesome supah advenchurr fanbawks
-Violin instrument in the gemstore
-A new AR requirement dungeon: UnderWorld
-New funny absurd gem store hairstyles like the guy in the picture or something similar

Ok? Ok. Good.

On my necromancer, no matter how many times I click on the Avatar of Death finisher, it just keep resetting itself back to basic finisher. It’s been happening since the Wintersday update…

It doesn’t happen on other toons though, on those the one I choose sticks.

I can’t believe it’s already been 2 years… it still feels like 2012 in my head.

All I wanted for Christmas was to see a violin in the Gem store ; _ ;

Tachigami.1742:

I’m a relatively avid RP type in Guild Wars, and it can be a bit difficult to find good, quiet places to act out scenes without overlapping or bothering anyone that might be halfway across the map at any given time. I’ve been considering whether there may be a way to drastically shorten the range of graytext, emotes both set and custom, to within the range that anything in /say might travel.

It’ll also cut down on emote spam such as sit, sleep, dance, and the rest that might be frustrating to both RPers and regulars that don’t like to turn off emotes or don’t really want to, but are also holding conversations in their guild, party, or /say that are drowned out via emote spam.

I’m sure it’d cut down game-wide frustrations, unless this has already been proposed.

You can turn everything and anything off in the chat window options.

Crazy Blademan.4372:

Who really needs to “sit” 500 times in a row? Seriously is it that hard to put a cap on the amount of emotes you do?

You can already fix it by turning it off.

Guhracie.3419:

Instead of bickering over semantics and whinging and complainers and white knights, I’d really like to have an actual conversation with people (actual people, so let’s throw out all usage of the aforementioned forum slurs that are so prevalent everywhere else) about the shift in design philosophy we’ve seen from anet in the last year.

The first thing to do is explain the design choices that I perceive to be making this shift. Then I’ll tell you why I don’t like it. Ideally, you’ll read what I’ve written and respond with your own facts, and then your opinion about why it makes for a better or more interesting or engaging game, one way or the other.

This year has seen a drastic decline in the amount of choice and flexibility offered in my chosen game mode, which is open world PvE.

Please note: I am all for more choice for the other game modes, but I do not believe it has to be at the expense of choice in any one game mode.

The recent change to dailies is a small part of a larger whole, but it is the impetus to this discussion. The April feature patch saw fewer options in the daily list, and now there are even fewer options (again, please remember that I am speaking about my preferred game mode, PvE), and those options are incredibly specific.

I think it is fantastic that PvP and WvW now have more options, though it could be argued that many PvE objectives translated over to, at least, WvW (gatherer, reviver, recycler, kill variety and others). I am merely confused about why it had to be at the expense of the selection that was previously available.

The festival meta achievements used to have a ton of options. Wintersday has absolutely no flexibility in it. You do the specific 11 achievements, or you don’t get the meta rewards.

Leveling and trait acquisition is not only narrow in scope (do specific, time intensive, buggy and/or level inappropriate tasks), but it is repetitive; utterly without variation (except for the location of a couple of the tasks on the trait tree) among the professions. Leveling has become a checklist of chores, or a grind for skillpoints and/or gold. Why take a crucial part of character building and make it so inaccessible?

Some of you will argue that the idea is to force players into other modes of gameplay. Perhaps this is true, but is it necessary? Are we really too stupid to know what we find fun and entertaining? Should ‘force’ even come into the equation when we’re talking about leisure time? Does the removal of options register as fun to anyone out there? Is doing it worthy of defending?

I feel like this has all distinctly impacted how I choose to spend my time in game and, ultimately, if I choose to spend time in game.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and respond thoughtfully.

Why would you write this? You’re going to give them the wrong idea. It’s fine the way it is.

Andred.1087:

It’s OK everybody, I bravely took the plunge and risked everything by not doing my dailies yesterday, and it turns out I’m still breathing. No thanks necessary. Keep trucking out there.

It could’ve been worse. You could’ve stepped outside.

Substance E.4852:

It won’t happen. They have sad time and again that they aren’t gonna do expansions and if they suddenly released one out of no where it would shatter what little credibility they have left in the eyes of the community.

There would be almost 0 reason to believe them on anything, one way or the other.

Oh come on, they just do whatever they want. It’s always been that way.

saventis.1485:

What do you do when someone is consistently “screaming” about there topic and dosnt understand rational thought and then does it all over again in every related topic
followed by creating new topics and making the problem as a whole seem much much larger than it is.

ignorance frustrates me and there is alot of it on the forums

(i do understand im not always right btw, i know when to shut up heh)

you know you’ve done the exact same thing by creating this topic, right? Lol

yep m2

An Error Prevented Saving:

Message Body length must at least be 15.

as long as your score isn’t 0 you get personalized gifts

You’re not the only one. I’m pretty sure Arena has had some connection issues in the 2 weeks. Maybe they’re upgrading/downgrading servers. Iono, but time will tell.

That’s interesting cause a couple of days ago I had a ‘’connection error retrying’’ in the GW2 launcher for 4 days, my gw2 launcher just froze up after that connection error retrying and i had to ctrl+alt+del to close it

iono wtf is goin on but i’m sure arena will fix it, maybe some lines got messed up cause trees fell on them. trees crack and fall from the heavy snow all the time, sometimes powerlines sometines internet lines

i say wait it out, that’s what i did

Ever since the last update, i think 2 days ago or 3 iono my sense of time is distorted, when I enter bell choir to do my daily the 1st song is always wrong. i play all the notes right when the lil m&m candy button pops, but my health goes down everytime as if i did it wrong but i didn’t

and it only happens for the first song after i enter, if i fail and then do again it works fine

i asked other ppl and they say it happens to them too this is 100% bug

pls fix, ty, happy new years

Well, this problem fixed itself on it’s own for me. Just like it broke itself. On it’s own. All I did was wait 4 days. Gahd being with family at family gatherings is unbearable LOL

Wow, you guys have had this since 17 days ago? I only got this problem 12 hours ago. That’s weird. That’s very weird.
