Guild Wars 2

Made a second ranger to give the Norn personal story a go. That and Norn cultral armor for medium is pretty cool looking (once I can get it that is).
Well this is what my baby Norn ranger looks like so far :P

I named my pets at the begining, but when you swap them (like when I do WvW or PvP) they loose there names saddly. It is really annoying, in all honesty it should just save 1 default name to each species of pet.

It is even more annoying when you are a newer ranger, and you see a juvenile pet running around in an area and you try to catch it lol. After a juvenile is cought it should be changed to TAMED [species name here]. or Mature [species name here]. Anything but juvenile would be nice :P

My ranger

(stupid body length thingy)

Add another person to the “I’ve 100% world map complete, no title for it” list.

=p

What I am coming across more and more at level 80, in the 70-80 areas mostly. My pet is completely ignored by mobs, they b-line it right for my face. I assumed pets were suposed to take some brunt of the damage, at least that was how they were working out from 1-60ish. I didn’t notice it as much from 60-79. Now at 80 I find myself dieing A LOT because everything is ignoring my pet and just going right for my face. I am not even talking about bosses, or champion mobs even. Simple veterans, and nothing next to their names at all are just going at me like I am filled with candy, they must try and bust me open!

This is happening 1v1, just me, my pet, and 1 mob. I feel like somthing is wrong with that. I expect 5 mob pull to end that way, my poor pet can only hit so many at once to draw attentions. Is there any sort of threat mechanic in the game, or is it just later in levels everything just randomly hits what ever the heck it wants to?

I would hate to have to send my pet in, wait 5-10 seconds till it hits the thing enough times, then get to attack myself, that is crazy boring. I also do not expect my pet to snap threat off my if I open up with some crazy damage, but after running in circles from 1 mob for a good minute I expect it to get bored of me at some point, and go for my pet who was smacking at it the whole time I was not even hitting at all.

Yea, I just noticed its gone again. but it seems like it is still counting down even if it is not there on the list at least. Really kinda weird. As long as I get what I paid for with the influance I am happy, even if I never see it in the que lol

Either fixed itself, or you guys are crazy fast. It is now back in que lol

Thanks!

I am a guild leader, and I qued up Research Architecture Rank 2. It even says I did in the history, the game even removed 1000 influance from my ballance. Well I look today to see how much time is left… It was no longer qued, influance was still spent, and it is back on the list wanting 1000 more to re que.

I am a small guild of some close friends. We do not have influance coming in very fast at all. Is it possible to get back to 1000 influance that I was charged for? or re add Research Architecture Rank 2 back to my que? It has 1 day 8 hours left to go on it.

and no, no one else has the power to cancel or add things to the que. I sure did not do it >< (my account is also under my sole controll)

I agree, and I even have a cook. How much darn butter does one need?

Time to add a new class – Heart Surgeon

As of… I gave up on crafting. Cost of items is bad, trying to make any money selling crafted items is worse. 99% of the time I am salvaging everything I make for more materials, or just vendoring it. Leveling with crafting I stoped in the 100s because my main was all ready in the 40s. Having to go back to farm low level items is a big pain in the patoot. Buying some of them is way over priced (mostly blue components).

Trying to make any profit off crafting is next to nothing. Even fast moving items like bags (hi, the rune to make that costs all most as much as you have for your buy order you !^*!!#$ ). Even when I put them up for my own price I have to undercut 912839213819238192321 other sellers. Even by 1 copper the price is so low (plus the cost to put an item up for sale) all of that added togeather I am all most allways loosing money from crafting….

I love the idea of discovering recipies ( even more so on my chef). The idea of having to farm endlessly killing mobs hopeing they drop and then x8 crafts O.o

Some MMOs love their crafters, this one I think hates crafters lol.

I am still having to mash F2 to get my pets to use abilties =(
Most of the time I wont even bother using their abilties anymore because of it…

I like Axe / Warhorn and Longbow myself. Axe auto attack allways hits multipul foes, and if you are kiting a ton of mobs it helps you a lot. Warhorn is just nice, killing stuff with seaguls is just awesome. The other ability that comes with it is nice as well.

I used shortbow in the beta mainly. I just don’t seem to enjoy it as much now. Maybe if they let us swap between 3 weapon sets I might add it in :P

You can thank varrious exploiters for that one. It’s in some offical post by arenaNET some where…

You can add elementalist (air staff skill / heal) and guardian (utilities) and warrior (banners) to this list. They can keep the run speed buffs going 100% of the time if need be. My Theif is low level (teens), but where are they getting movement speed from? Mine has none.

You want bad movment options necromancers warhorn run is also an AoE. They use it, run past anything non argo, it now wants to kill them as well lol.

Mesmer also seemed to get the short end of the movement stick (not even sure they get any at all). Mine is also just in the teens, and running slower then a mofo.

Having every pet in game all ready, I am all for this :P

More water (only) pets please! Jellyfish, Armorfish and 1 Shark only? I love water combat, not to fond of my water combat pet choices….

Banewrath.5107:

.That`s kind of messed up. That is like you are saying because they aren`t lvl 80 they aren`t worthy of wearing your emblem? In the original game everyone got a cape when they joined a guild if the guild leader had the money to design and purchase the cape. Why should it be any different here?

That was what I was sorta thinking myself.

As far as transmuting the same thing over and over again, better hope you have it on the coolest looking item all ready I guess?

I agree on this one. I even have bought 3 more bank 3×10s. My cook, which is only level 13 has bigger bags then my level 80. Just because of all the cooking junk!

It would also be pretty cool if items that are stored would just show up under the discover new recipies tab. Sometimes I forget to take out a few items here and there. Turns out that skill level 25 item combine I could of done back then was missed out and worth next to nothing for a discovery now that my skill is 200 somthing and I just now notice the missing ingreediant sitting in my overflowing bank :P

I do not know if it is just me but some of the guild item skin costs seem kinda insane. It seems to be tailored just for the level 80s to use. I do not know about you, but I am a level 20 and I love my guild, and want to display my Emblem on my armor, so why cant I? Do you guys know how often you change out chests / weapons as you level?!?!?
(and if they carry over to the next item you replace ignore that part, I haven’t bought any of these items to try it with because of cost). I don’t know about you guys but I also have alts in guilds, that I would love to show off emblems on… The costs seem a little crazy to me.

1 gold each time you want to put your emblem on your chest?!
20 silver each time you want to add it to your weapon?!
1-5 gold for a back piece O.o

I know you guys need money sinks in the game but sheeeeeeesh!

SKRITT I’M HIT!!!

Not my idea of a fun race to play, but dear god I love killin them >:D

I agree on this one. You cannot even tell what the weapons look like 99% of them are inside the armor and are extreemly hard to see while you use the preview option. I would prefer it if they were drawn, and if you could preview 1 mainhand 1 offhand (if the case may be).

For my first level 80 I did all the main cities first 100%, then all the 1-15 areas. By then I was in my late 20s. After that it becomes a bit of a blurr following my personal story to where ever it lead me lol. I also harvested a lot as I went along (gave up on crafting after 150 skill). Pretty good exp no matter what you did! I did not try WvW will I was allready 80. I am not much of a PvP fan. Reminds me of Warhammer’s RvR. oddly enough I did enjoy that a lot. Turns out WvW is just as fun! Not sure how much fun it is leveling up in though.

As for my alts, the main reason I LOVE THIS GAME. I can do the exact same zones over again and run into completely new experiances (events) and a totaly different personal storty. Even if all 8 of my characters are the same race!!!

As a kitty demon, I love my home town. Was so easy to 100% it just following my personal story. I have 90% of the world map done so far. Rata Sum wins hands down for I think I will /wrist myself if I ever visited it again. Those mutant midget rabbits did not intend large races to get around to easly.

I allways make the animalistic (as non human / elf as it can get) races in any MMO i’ve played. be it iksar, vah shir, froglok, tuaren, worgen, or charr. Main reason I could NEVER get into Guild Wars 1 was because hoooman was the only option race wise ><
(got my 30 HoM points, and will never touch that game again lol)
Same reason I will never bother playing some other MMOs out there lol

Charr is on my top 10 race list of all time gaming #1

Do not believe me? Well here is my chARRMY!

This is my chARRMY!!!!!!!!
(I peronaly hate the fact you cannot turn helms / shoulders off on the character select screen, but you can in game) My Engineer does not display helm or shoulders… my guardian and warrior also do not show helm… cuz they is ugly on charr!

I submitted a ticket the day of headstart, after making my first character, and noticing my hall of monument stone was missing, so I rerolled that character. I was un aware that the collector edition items would be 1 per account. So I didn’t even think about it when I deleted. All your reply said was it is an issue we are working on it bla bla bla…

I paid extra money for the extra items. I have no items… I honestly do not even know why you cannot have more then 1 Miniature Rytlock. It is a bound item, why on earth would I want just 1, to have to bank, then swich to one of my 7 other characters, find another bank to take it out and use it. Then re bank it if I decide I want to run around on another character etc etc etc ANNOYING!!!!!!!

As far as the Chalice of Glory and Tome of Influence. I can see why they would be only 1 per account – well the Tome of Influence anyways (create alts over and over to use over and over). But the fact is I never got to use either of them, even though I paid for the use of them. The idea of giving my character a small boost in PvP would be awesome, the fact I have to pick only 1 character to do so on? wtf?!

You guys might of wanted to state somewhere under collector edition in big red text somewhere that these 3 items were ONLY 1 PER ACCOUNT… the extra cash would of stayed in my pocket that is for sure! Then the fact I did pay, and I didn’t even get to use these 3 items really puts that final nail in the coffin you know….

Fix this issue now please!!!!
