Guild Wars 2

Thanks for all the replies guys! ^^. I guess i will wait till the expansion arrives or at least get an update on how AR will work after expansion.

Hello everyone.

I have been saving my +1 AR infusion thingies for a while now and I am now almost able to produce a +10. yay \o/. but my question is : Is it wise to use my +10 infusion now or is there a chance some things will change a lot during the expansion release and I might regret using the +10 right now?

Kind Regards

So they close every SAB post except for this one but still don’t talk to us? :S

Bring SAB back! like most of us seriously give a kitten about it ’not blending in well with the current living story"…

and if u don’t want to make new levels atleast re-activate the old ones… it’s hardly any work to do that, right?

I can still remember a long time ago probably months, i went exploring in that keep with some friends on Skype and we were all like; that map doesn’t make any sense. there is no danger of DR being invaded and least of all by branded, what would they do all the way to the west? so im about 95% sure this has been there for a long long time.

This map has been around for a while, probably since day 1. i can’t be 100% sure but im pretty sure i’ve seen it a long long time ago. dont get your hopes up and i know i can’t prove anything but im pretty sure

More lore related stories are Always good, The guild wars universe has such a good lore but it’s not being used to it’s fullest imo. also I think alot of people agree with me the living story should be more darker themed sometimes (with this patch we have a nice start, now i hope we don’t go back to the tipical scarlet “i hate everything and it should just all die” story but something deeper and more intense would be nice.

Also, just to get it out of my head and i know alot of people will disagree with me here, the living story is good and all but the most living experience i ever had was the lost shores opening in November 2012. It was TRULY living, think about it and leave the lag/1 time and no repeat aside and think about how living it was ; we landed on the Island and got to explore and escort the workers that builded camps and bridges and defence lines against the wildlife threatening us. the landing and major fights around southsun were truly truly epic and never has any mmo world felt more alive than that moment in november. If you could only do something about the major lag on those occasions and something that people will be able to repeat it… and by doing something that living you can also leave something behind aswell.

Let me give you an example for what i mean. my example is just something i made up real quick to explain it, don’t take it too serious.
Say, somewhere in the future we get a living story about a gathering point for a destroyer army in the ring of fire, primordus has starting gathering his troops there and there is something on the Island that makes them stronger.

We sail out to stop that from happening and to try to destroy the magical object from empowering his army. We land on the shores and we immediately have a hard time setting foot. we get a landing, this will be set on say. day 1 of the release. we have to assault the shore and build camps and clear the destroyers. now after this is done the shores will stay available but not more of the Island. Now 1 new small zone has opened and dynamic events will stay there with capturing objectives and defending against destroyers, a war zone so to say. there can also be personal missions there related to the main characters to get to know them better. You can maybe use asura technology to let people queue up who missed it and they will be invited into a server with say 50 other people who missed it so everyone can complete it 1 time in those 2 weeks.

In the next update you go to the heart of the Island and lay siege on the blazing volcano and the fortress of the Destroyers. You will fight their captains outside the walls and lay siege on several objectives and also get to support/know the main characters in this story arc better. the shore meanwhile has calmed down a bit and the frequency of dynamic events there has tuned down but the next zone is now the new war zone. here also people will also do the opening mission and escort further onto the Island to build camps and lay siege on objectives to get a hold around their fortress. after that the zone will stay available with events for 2 weeks and the opening will be repeatable like last time.

The next update we will venture into their fortress to the heart of the volcano and the opening mission will be about the pact getting through the gates of the fortress and entering the center of the Island where a new 5 man dungeon will be opened(?) and in these 2 weeks everything will stay available.

after this arc has ended the Island will stay available with the new dungeon staying there (but no longer with the objective of destroying the magical object?)

I know it was a long read and my english is bad but i do think these kind of living stories would be interesting and more alive. this might be too hopefull but i think ANet could pull sometheing like this off!

Yeah and story wise the krait/nightmare court shouldn’t even get along, hence the krait should not get along with anyone. and the “toxic Alliance” is such a cringe worthy name

Candy corn will probably drop to 2-5 copper a piece anyways. that will fix it

Yes, i’ve beaten him probably 7 times. It’s not really harder then in normal mode is it? you’re just not allowed to touch the poison water. Just hit his jewel and get the jewel shard, jump on the pads to a rock, wait for his mouth to open, hit him and repeat.

It sounds pretty cool

I’m pretty sure if all bosses are made stronger people will still do them

Nonono it’s not too hard, it’s challenging. It took me about 2 hours to finish rapids and pain Cliffs with 4 of my friends and we had so much fun finding secrets and puzzling our way through the levels. in our opinion (and im sure in many people’s opinions) it’s just like it should be. challenging and fun.

I’d like it, I really hope SAB doesn’t die out when we have all 4 worlds.

I think the game itself is more boring most of the time than SAB is :P

SAB is refreshing and fun imo, very welcome

Will we still be able to do our Jubilee achievements during the queen’s speech?

Can people please stop talking about Jenna dieing, its not gonna happen! it would ruin the personal story, remember?

Human nature wants to see tragedy happening. Many of us want to see it but hope the same tragedy will not befall ourselves. Don’t take my word for it, look at movies, drama series, novels and many other stories. Almost all of them have one too many tragedy before the “Happily ever after…” some even don’t have “Happily ever after…”.

Now, don’t come and say that is all fiction….. true, it is fiction, but where did all the idea came from? The writers don’t just “conjure” up some tragedy without seeing or experiencing one themselves. Isn’t it?

You can say that even the newspaper/news sells when there is a tragedy. When there is a good thing? You can’t sell kittens even if you wanted too.

So, GW2 is a business. Don’t say it is otherwise, because Arenanet is not making this game based on “Charity”. If it is a “charity”, they would have make a simpler game and gave everyone Legendary(s).

So, back to the Queen Speech. Killing the Queen will make more players want to stay on to GW2, because they want to see Logan’s devastating reaction to it and also the aftermath of the Queen’s death.

Tragedy sells, peace don’t.
War sells, peace don’t.
Isn’t all these happens in real life?

You could say this is a way to get a quick buck. Look at the “Death of Superman” 1992 was so successful, that more and more superheroes were “killed” off just to get the attention…..

Thats all true but not really what i meant, what i meant is. in the human personal storyline u interact and even in one mission defend queen Jennah, therefore she will not die. therefore they would have to remake all the missions that mention/surround her being alive.

Zaitan is dead according to Southsun but they didn’t change the Personal Story for that.

That’s probably a design fail because ANet stated they can’t change the status on Orr nor Zhaitan because they have to keep in mind New players and Alt characters haven’t yet killed Zhaitan and stating he’s dead everywhere would ruin the story.

Killing off Jennah would be a mistake, characters in a year from now will still defend her in story instances but in the open world she would be dead for a year and we would probably have a memorial of some kind.

Take my words, Jennah’s death…? NOT GONNA HAPPEN

The surprise will probably be just an announcement or a plot twist or something, it will not be content related if you ask me.

You cant really call this a update imo, this is more like a small patch. by far the most dissapointing update ever.

Sounds like fun goodluck, might come if I have time. #TeamGnashblade

About the next update : "It takes the story of the last year and brings it all together. It makes it clear where everything has been going and really closes a lot of open questions that players have had.

HYPED!

It would have to fly through the zone borders, that would give multiple loading screens anyways. it’s fine as it is right now i think.

I Always rez, i tried not to one time cuz it was so crowded and i wanted to fight faster but i couldnt do it and i felt bad so i turned around and ressed anyways

May i remind everyone that the Queen can’t die. They would have to remake alot of the personal story cuz of that so it just wont happen. she might get kidnapped but she will Always get saved because of the storyline throughout Gw2

When i face a boss in one of the arena’s i constantly get knockdowned (every boss) without reason and no i dont have the tremor gambit active, same for my friend.

i sold rares and cores i found on the TP but i think i got about 3g only from the bags they drop

This will only make everything more expensive

It will hurt the economy and i know ppl will hate me but this will hurt the game. you run around in zergs, kill everything and get a enormous list of loot, the list on the side of ur screen just keeps running and running with rares and loot bags etc and u get 10G in absolute no time with a little luck

The queen’s pavillion gave me 10G in 40 minutes, not only me but also my friends. is this intended? is ANet boosting the economy or completely ruining it?

Instances suck, thats all

In my opinion, Kiel is a generic and boring character. She doesn’t act ego once and being a lionguard is her life and she will do everything to assure it’s ok. In real life ok, that would be a logical choice but in Gw2 i’d prefer evon. he’s a businessman and knows what to do also he’s a much more interesting character who actually has a personality unlike kiel.

Kiel was born with boredom and genericness. everytime i see her in the living world releases i beg for a pillow

The biggest +1 i’ve ever given. the survival has great potential but it’s not being used to it’s fullest. it can be so much better than it is now, but it’s already good and fun

Yeh imo the mist form is plain stupid as a whole. people can team up even after they are dead >>

Let’s open up the woodland cascades to bring the war to them!

It’s not like people get forced to do all the content. if you don’t have enough time to complete it you should be happy, it means u will Always have new content to do no matter how long you play and you will never run out. no one is forcing you to do everything except for yourself :/

I’d rather deal with some sneaky actions of Evon than dealing with the perfect good girl Kiel who is the perfect face of justice and will never do something selfish ever. it’s a game after all and i find evon more interesting so he gets my vote, if it was real life tho i’d go for Kiel

Kiel is too perfect and a bit boring! go evon!

Whats even the point of trying to win if you don’t get something extra, might aswell just fool around now try to annoy people instead xD

Im actually really dissapointed that every rank gets the same reward… i mean i get it thakittens just for fun but they just COMPLETELY annihilated the purpose of winning. winners should atleast get a little extra of something imo.

Why do u put people in the sanctum sprint while it has already started? -_- u have no chance of winning/rewards will be denied. so whats the piont? all people i’ve asked about it are annoyed by it.

Why is it a problem if people miss something? i mean, it’s a bit selfish to say that when ýou’re gone other people cant play anything new untill ur back :/. If there is new content released for people that don’t go on holiday while u are gone what’s the big problem?

Not bugged for me, had fun and it was challenging. got it after about 30-45 minutes. only times i fell was due to myself and the same to my friends. dont know if it’s really bugged or that people just get angry because they failed. :/

Obvious troll.

The Woodland cascades are probably pretty tree-ish, tho it’s not in the game at this moment

What’s your favorite path to lvl 80. Im talking about zones here, so ur zone path till lvl 80 and why do you think its the best.

Example

Queensdale -> Brisban Wildlands -> Gendarran fields -> Harathi Hinterlands -> Lornar’s Pass -> etc.

Yeah i was thinking aswell, dragon bash is the perfect timing for a new dragon champion/elder dragon crushing the party and introducing the new story arc? going to war against a new threat?
