Guild Wars 2

I’m glad to see that I’m not the only player who is thinking this

@robinsiebler
They do have town clothes in this game, which is a state you could compare to Roleplaying Mode. But unfortunately you instantly go back to normal gear if you get attacked. I think they should do more with the concept of town clothes. The idea to make your character invulnerable while wearing town clothes, would not be a great because it could be easily abused.

I would encourage Anet to come up with new ideas for town clothes, or maybe invent a new kind of exploreable area where you can only wear town clothes. (just getting a little bit creative here)

I’m really a big fan of the costume brawl, specifically because it enables and rewards players for interacting with each other. It’s features like this that help make the game come to life for me.

Hello everyone,

(no this isn’t another rant on the new ascended gear) I don’t regulary post on the guildwars 2 forum, but now I finally have something to say. I wanted to post this under GW2 general, but I thought the suggestions forum was a better spot for this.

I started playing during the beta of guild wars 2, I made an Asura Elementalist, got him some nice looking armor and explored a snowy area close to Lion’s Arch to make a screenshot of the beautiful landscape and my awesome Asura (who was way too low level for the area, but I thought the picture was worth the risk). I disabled my UI and positioned my Asura facing the camera.

Unfortunately, the rendering of the (HD) screenshot took a couple of seconds too long and that short time period was just enough for a pack of hungry wolves to get to my harmless little Asura, resulting in a bloodbath that I’m not willing to describe in full detail…

Now the big question:
Is it necessary for every corner of Tyria to be filled with bloodthirsty foes that fight you to the death? Except for the cities, towns and outposts there isn’t a single inch of Tyria where players are safe from harm and fighting for your life isn’t a necessity. The level scaling is causing all enemies to form a serious threat to your character regardless of level (not that I have a problem with the scaling itself, but it does have it’s drawbacks). In other words, there isn’t any exploreable place in Tyria that is completely safe.

And I know there are jumping puzzles, minigames (kegbrawl) and many other things to do in this game. But what I am really missing is a big map where you can just explore without being in life threatening danger all the time. A place where players can relax, go fishing, visit a bar or have a dance party. Overall just a fun, rewarding explorable and above all: “social” area for players of every level to enjoy and take a break from their daily adventures.

And preferably a place other than just Lion’s Arch… I was secretly hoping the Lost Shores would be that place, but no. LA does have exactly what I’m asking for, but nobody is using the bars, diving board, jumping puzzles and everything else that is available (there is no reward for doing anything there).

If any of the game developers are reading this:
Please, if you make future content, have it include anything besides new dungeons and enemies. Think of new ways to keep the community together and make Guild Wars 2 the social MMO it could be!

(A picture says more than a thousand words. So in this screenshot, you can see my Asura before and after being torn apart by hungry wolves…)

You know what they say… When life gives you lemons, make lemonade

No, I hate the new ascended items.

…Is what I would choose if I was forced to pick either a “yes” or “no” right now. I’m just going to give it some time before I definitely decide whether I like it or not.

- Yes, I am happy with the decision to introduce new, different gear
- No, I am NOT happy with the decision to make it slightly more powerful than exotic. You are making full exotic gear completely obsolete in the long run.

I just experienced the exact same thing! My group was almost at the boss fight in Twilight Arbor and we were forced to do everything all over again from the start.

At first I got a warning: 3 hours until the new build. That would’ve been more than enough for my group. But minutes later, the game suddenly disconnect me out of nowhere and quickly downloads like 6 files… Afterwards I’m unable to rejoin my group in TA because I have a new build of the game (login issue?). And a few minutes later the same thing happens to 2 other groupmembers.

Now I have to start it all over again ;( this can’t possibly be how Anet intended the build updates to works?

I spent over half an hour looking for a suitable name for my Sylvari. I looked up names of poisonous plants and translated them to latin and greek. All the good flower-names were already taken (ofcourse) so I had to improvise a little.

I found the greek/latin name Asphodelio, but it was taken, so I ended up naming my character “Asphodelius” instead. I wasn’t a big fan of the name at first, because it’s almost impossible to pronounce. But people started to call me Aspho and I really like that as a nickname because it’s easy to remember and unique

Me too, I miss the clocktower already. Was a lot of fun and very challenging!

But who knows, they might just make a christmas tree jumping puzzle for wintersday :p I can’t wait for new jumping puzzles like the clock tower in the future.

Did the clocktower and love it! the most challenging (and rewarding) jump puzzle yet.

I completed it first with my human ele, then the day after with my sylvari mesmer. You can’t expect to finish it in the first try, I was busy for at least 2 hours in total.

I can’t wait to see more of these challenging and competitive jumping puzzles! But a suggestion: add both an easy- and hard difficulty so players don’t have the feeling they are missing out on content.

beated it yesterday on me elementalist, using speed boost. Took me about one and a half hour. And now I got a reward I can’t use because i’m not lvl 80 yet :p

I did lunatic court today and noticed an asura hiding all the way on the west of the map, behind a giant wall covered with spiderwebs, completely out of reach. I don’t know how he did that, but it was ruining the fun for everyone because there was no way the lunatic court could win if he still lived. The players on the lunatic court side all started to leave and eventually so did I.

And even worse: when I tried to use “mad king says” on him, he only got more and more points it was also impossible to use fear to move him. So please fix this glitched wall.

Just switch back from town clothes to normal armor and you will get a random shape again. This works both on your own cauldron and those of other witches.

I’m happy with my witch costume. It gives a broomstick to fly on, a cat familiar and it can also transform other players by using a cauldron so I would definitly recommend it if you like costume brawl.
