Guild Wars 2

You’re sure they’re not just a regular player messing with you?

Jure Simich.6154:

Possible explanation: guild plans to host, but the map fills out with “outsiders” before all the guild members arrive. So, everyone leaves for a new map where they can all fit?

Sounds plausible, but it was still a kitten move to leave the map without letting anybody know. Especially if it’s happened twice. It’s not giving their guild a very good reputation if they keep doing that.

Matryoshka.1607:

As great as this game is, I’ve just never enjoyed playing a DPS class. Even the classes that are more on the “support” side are still not really enough to quench that thirst to be the one helping your allies.

Is there any possibility at all that they will add healing or tank roles and make combat in the game reflect on that?

PS. Ritualist when?!

Whenever my friends and I pick up a new MMO, I’m usually the healer/support class so I understand what you mean. But I knew going in that GW2 didn’t have the traditional trinity, so I’m getting used to the DPS thing. If you’re not enjoying yourself now though, you should probably start looking for another MMO. One thing that was stressed about GW2 was that they wanted to break away from those roles.

And with all the random groups that happen, it’s kinda nice NOT being screamed at for not healing a squishy who strayed too far from the safety of the tank. Or having to sit and wait for a DD/Tank/Healer. Or ending up with a DD/Tank/Healer who didn’t know what he was doing.

My FPS is the same, and I get that scratching noise too.

I just thought it was my speakers crapping out on me.

DresdenAllblack.1249:

I don’t want to fight any sprouts. D-R-A-G-O-N-S is what I want to fight, not this filler fluff. It was fine at the start, but its gone on too long now. Bring me on something enormous and winged.

I just hope that fight doesn’t end up being a “stand here and press 1” kind of fight.

papry.8096:

One of the core changes we’re making is that each fractal run will only consist of one island from a static list instead of the current rotation of three random islands with a random boss fractal.

What I get from this is that we will be able to choose the fractal you do from a list but I may be wrong.

That’s sort of how I interpreted it. I was thinking that it’d be like the dailies where each day X amount of fractal islands are available, and the next day it’ll be a different set.

Elric Of Melnibone.4781:

This just doesn’t make sense. Crafting Ascended weapons and armor is ridiculously expensive and now they expect us to salvage them? For a CHANCE at a ball of dark energy? I can see giving us something to do with the piles of Ascended rings we all have, but not armor and weapons. Most of my tunes only have one set of Ascended gear, if that and I am not giving them up.

I just wouldn’t salvage the crafted weapons/armor and instead just wait for an ascended chest drop from a world boss. Though I think I may have used up all my luck…

Though it sounds like maybe you’ll be able to salvage ascended accessories/rings and have the dark energy drop, too.

So I Googled. Apparently you can only share stuff recorded from games bought through Windows Store. You can use the new Xbox app to record stuff from non-Windows Store games, but you can’t share it. This makes it a Microsoft thing, I think.

Have you successfully posted other non-Windows Store game clips to the Xbox app? And are those games also available through the Windows Store?

……
I am sure Anet recognize this problem and hope they fix all the world bosses in future patches. HoT Wyvern was great, why can’t world bosses be like it too?

Fun world bosses? Do we pay ANET enough for them to put resources into changing the World Bosses?

Depends on how long you’ve been playing. I’ve only been playing since January this year, but I think I’ve paid enough to buy a few textbooks for some Anet employees.

There are probably a few people out there who have paid enough since release to pay for half-time enrollment at a small community college. Maybe even a GOOD community college.

So…maybe for small improvements but not anything HUGE.

I was hoping that the PSA was simply, “Please don’t.”

I thought this was about the wings disappearing when certain items are held or actions performed.

But yeah… They’re a bit too flappy/floaty. It’s kind of like wearing a swishy skirt hanging from your shoulders.

… “Cape” I guess, is the word I’m looking for.

I was just thinking about this yesterday. It’d be nice to be able to weapon swap OOC.

Yes, I already do press H and switch weapons that way…but if you have a ton of crap weapons in your inventory, you have to search for the one you want and click. If you’re in WvW or EOTM or something, that little pause or that window up on your screen blocking your view is all the opportunity someone needs to come in and gank you.

Yes, I could order bags and whatnot, but if I’m picking things up, inventory gets filled top to bottom, left to right. Say I’m wielding a staff and I have my two daggers situated at the very top left of my inventory. I switch out to the daggers, my staff is now in the top left. I run around, pick up more items, then switch back to my staff. One dagger will take the place of the staff, while the other dagger will fill up the first available spot. I have an invisible bag where I store all of my weapons that I use, but each time I switch between staff/daggers, one dagger inevitably ends up outside of the invisible bag. Sometimes the staff does if it switches places with that dagger.

So I mostly use the Hero panel which takes up a good amount of my screen and move it around so that I can see what’s going on around me while I run.

All that being said…I can live without it. It’d be nice to have an OOC weapon swap but I’m not going to die without it. Well…not IRL anyway. In-game possibly, but not IRL.

Ahh, yeah. I’ve had that snapping happen to me. It’s a little annoying but it’s not gamebreaking for me.

I always see people in LFG looking for event maps or chest maps. Though sometimes there are lulls in player activity so it’s hard to find an active SW map at all.

Most of the chest train maps I’ve been to have turned into event maps after the shovels were exhausted or the tag leaves and nobody else was able to step in. And then sometimes they turn back into a chest train after VW is defeated and people are through with the labyrinth.

As for what you’re suggesting…don’t they already sort of do that with Dry Top? There are chests available there, but they’re only visible during the sandstorms so the only trains that pop up there are event trains that go from one champ to the other.

That happens to me sometimes. I’ll be trying to sell stuff and it’ll take a REALLY long time for the window to change. I usually just relog to see if that helps. Sometimes it does, but not always. if it doesn’t, then I just close the TP and try to sell again later.

If it’s just limited to Guild Halls, I think it’d be neat. I’d love having a guild library. Depending on the guild, you could have one book for behavior guidelines, one for recruiting, “How To” guides, etc.

Most guilds have a website for this purpose, but I’d still enjoy something like this in-game.

If they had a system for contacting devs/employees directly, can you imagine the kind of abuse that’d get? Or the thousands of messages they’d get asking the same question over and over, each person thinking that they’re asking a question that hasn’t been asked before?

With an in-person event it’s not so bad because it’s one-on-one, and there’s a time limit. It’s quite different from leaving yourself open to messages all of the time.

I’m kind of wondering just what kind of “private questions” can’t be asked in front of the community though.

How about a section (or sections) of LA where there’s an NPC band playing on the gem store instruments? That way we don’t get people spamming one note on that bell and the music can be tuned out for those who don’t care to hear it.

It would be cool, but the typical Tyrian day only lasts about 2 IRL hours. (“Day” as in a full day to night cycle.)
