Guild Wars 2

When do these portals stop dropping?

I can only conclude that this move was a great success because SW maps are FULL! SO yes, haters gonna hate, but majority doesn’t care…

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Malediktus.9250:

Yes, I never ever refine luck. Takes too much effort to switch characters and refine.

Unless you have 2 other crafting professions on a character you can have Articifer on each character you play, just for refining luck. Except for one of my chars that has 2 professions on it, all my chars have a main crafting and Articifer.

How lame would it be to learn a profession just to refine essences? They could’ve never been introduced as items, it just should’ve been an experience bar that fills if you salvage items…

just clicked for 10 min straight… A’net help please!!

Consume all sound great! Help us here Gaile!

Hi,

Could you please do something about all those essences of luck? Could you perhaps insert an option so I could use all essences at once? There’s really nothing more frustrating than salvaging all your gear and then having to use all those essences and waste 5 minutes…

Thx!

I can’t find the end date anywhere…

Great idea doing it like this i love playing with the idea of having chance getting a portal

i like the idea!!

The HUGE amount of USELESS REWARDS to ridiculous proportions.

Little question: What’s NPE?

New Player Experience ( if i recall correctly)

what’s so bad about it then?

Spoj The Second.7680:

I predict early April-May. Any longer and they will struggle with filler content in the wait for HoT. Plus a demo in 6 weeks suggests its almost ready to put out.

A demo would suggest nothing in my eyes

Randulf.7614:

Kilroy Stonekin – he was the greatest of us all!

(Although to be honest, every zerker amongst us already does)

THIS, made my day

Great pun dude

Duke Blackrose.4981:

I’m predicting something more Assassin like, but still heavily emphasizing the spiritual nature of the Revanant.

Wraith or Specter sounds like a likely name, and daggers would be their game.

I heard someone talk about Dervish-like specialization, that would be cool… Trying to find some lore on Revenant btw…

So what can it be?

Drewan.5681:

Would be cool to get some shots of that dragon that crawls out of the shadows

That was awesome!

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

Dervish

Summon the powers of the 6 human gods (in a very diluted fashion)

;)

That’s not even that crazy :P

I know this is way ahead of it’s time, but will there be a specialization for Revenant? Like the example you gave of a ranger becoming a druid?

So you think they would not have done the presentation on PAX if not all the major features were ready? hmmm I doubt that they’ll let an event like that pass for 1 or 2 major features that weren’t ready yet

Why would the timing of PAX have any impact on the planned features? After all, everything they talked about at PAX is “not ready yet”. If it was ready then they’d have announced a release date, wouldn’t they?

They have said, and I quote, "We wanted to reveal Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns when we were ready to talk about every major feature we’re planning. That’s why right now, every major feature planned for Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns is there for you to check out at http://heartofthorns.guildwars2.com.. "

That’s pretty clear, every major feature planned for this expansion is listed on that page. I don’t see them adding any new major features (especially nothing like a new race) between now and release. I think they’re doing quite well at managing expectations here.

Hey man, don’t get me wrong, I never said they didn’t live up to my expectations! I just REALLY wanted a new race :P

Pifil.5193:

According to the FAQ all the major features are already on the HoT page so I’d say there’s absolutely no chance at all this expansion of getting a new race.

Q: When is the next big feature reveal for what’s coming in this expansion?

A: We wanted to reveal Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns when we were ready to talk about every major feature we’re planning. That’s why right now, every major feature planned for Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns is there for you to check out at http://heartofthorns.guildwars2.com. That said, there are so many details left to uncover and share with you, to show you, and to eventually let you play as we take you on the journey from now through launch.

So you think they would not have done the presentation on PAX if not all the major features were ready? hmmm I doubt that they’ll let an event like that pass for 1 or 2 major features that weren’t ready yet

What kinda bothered me was that there was no mention of a new race… I was kinda expecting Tangu or Kodan, that would’ve been so nice. So is this completely off the table or is there still a possibility to play with a, let’s say, Kodan Revenant?

notebene.3190:

Two predictions:

2. New Human Female Light Armor to go with healthy and appropriate running, idle animations, and unsafe clothing removed from the outfit system…

LOL

Not so sure if i should craft my legendary now… :/ :P

Oxidia.8103:

Lazaar.9123:

100 new unique dungeons, every weapon for every class, 3 new legendaries of each type, level 200, six new classes and fifteen new races.

You forgot player housing and mounts.

ohhhhhhh! YES PLEASE!

FlamingFoxx.1305:

Ele’s with weapon swap sounds horrible. I already have enough skills to manage…

Also don’t dare give warriors three weapons, You guys are already overpowered.

Overpowered!? We’re nerved as hell! :P

Rem.9627:

Warrior with 3rd weapon swap…and eles with a weapon swap…watch I called it here first.

Also 1 new legendary per existing type…and 2 new ones for the new weapon types…(Polearms/staves) <—-also polearms.

3rd weapon swap for warriors would be awesome!

Lazaar.9123:

100 new unique dungeons, every weapon for every class, 3 new legendaries of each type, level 200, six new classes and fifteen new races.

Guild Wars 3, 4, 5 and 6 confirmed!

I Think i see a Margonite at 00:29!

The Margonites are all dead. It’s not a Margonite. It’s either a Mursaat or a Seer.

What if they weren’t!! Dramatic music

Nah but srsly, might be a Mursaat but i think they look alike, I wonder what role Caithe and the egg will play then? Is it Glint’s offspring? The trailer also showed a crazy war raging between Sylvari and Charr, i wonder how that’s gonna end up…

I Think i see a Margonite at 00:29!

Watch the new trailer of the expansion here:

Al already extremely exited, any predictions?

Hey yeah! I did change the language ingame! I have to learn French for my job so i changed the audio to French… Mystery solved! Thx!

Ha, tried this as well, but I didn’t have the patience to relearn the name of every item in the game (often I could understand the name in both English and French, but they still would not connect easily due to not being directly translatable). Good luck though, immersion like this is usually a good start to learning a language.

I only changed the audio, so the item names remain the same, i also don’t have the patience also not so handy cause all my friends would be talking about Lion’s Arch and i would be talking about Arche du Lion for instance :P

Hey yeah! I did change the language ingame! I have to learn French for my job so i changed the audio to French… Mystery solved! Thx!

4 hours ago, that was when i had to download the update and the last login before that was 12h ago

I had to download more than 1gb…?

I noticed a big update this morning when i opened GW2. Is this already for tomorrow or something else? Because i can’t find release notes anywhere?

Thx!

At least I wanna see where this comes from, so if i could get some detailed info about the VAT/ other taxes on gems, that’d be great!

yeah that’s what i’m gonna do, i don’t like to hide it cause then when something happens it’s even harder to explain…

By the way, when online stores like Amazon, eBay,… sell to customers from, let’s say, Belgium they have to respect the taxes/VAT used in that country…

Not here in Belgium mate :P

Lol do you remember the release of the game? Where they literally banned thousands of people for buying cheap stuff off a karma merchant? :P

lordkrall.7241:

Because of taxes, simple as that.

So you’re stating that we have to pay € 12.27 taxes on an amount of € 35.00?
That’s 35% taxes!! That still ain’t right

yeah i think so too, but i wanna be sure cause i don’t like to get banned

yeah, but i don’t want to cover it up, i want to know whether it’s okay to do that or not :P

Hi there,

small question, if i loan my friend gold to get his ‘golden’ title, will that be a problem?

Thx!

XelNigma.6315:

not a big thing but it bothers me.
Its $10.00 not $10,00 to be clear, its " . " not " ,"

We use the “.” to separate dollars from cents. Where as we use the"," as a point of reference for every hundredth place.
So with the “.” its ten dollars, but with the “,” its ten thousand dollars.

Ya ya, I know im nit-picked. And we all know what you mean.

Oh okay i’m used to “,” here in crazy Europe Thanks for pointing that out, but I think I made my point without that detail, don’t you think?

Yeah, and still no admin response -_-"

Hi guys,

I wanted to bring something to your attention about the gem prices that i find pretty weird, and I wanted to know how the community and the people from GW2 react to this.

I like to buy a few gems from time to time… It gives me some nice opportunities to buy some nice items. I also like to think that i’m helping Arenanet with buying their gems, it gives me hope for a new expansion (maybe somewhere soon??!…)

However, I have a problem with something:

Why is it that player from EU servers buy 800 gems for € 10,00 while players from US servers buy the same amount of gems for $ 10,00?? If I make a quick calculation:

$ 10,00 = € 7,55
€ 10,00 = $ 13,25

?!

That something you’ll have to explain to me… I don’t like the thought of paying € 2,45 more for the same amount of gems than US players do? And before people start about the fact that it’s only € 2,45 please think about this:

For 4000 gems US players pay $ 50,00, for the same amount of gems EU players pay € 50,00!!

$ 50 = € 37,74
€ 50 = $ 66,25

?!

So this means EU players pay $ 16,26 more(or € 12,27!!) than US players for the same amount of gems!! Please explain this to me…?

Regards,
Suburbian
