Guild Wars 2

Hello Anet,

I found this topic today, and yet it is an old thread, I bring it again on the table instead of making a new one.

I play with a 40" 4K monitor (~90cm wide Philips), and unfortunately, I have to downscale the game to 1440p, because the GUI itself is so tiny. I would like to see a customizable GUI that players could drag bigger, or drag the parts they want bigger and leave the ones they don´t smaller (like SWTOR does), or at least, this thing that is very important for 4K users:

>>>> Allow to scale the in-game pointer bigger, please <<<<

Directional skills are the worst to launch in 4K, as I keep losing my pointer all the time, it is really tiny even when the GUI is set to the largest possible one.

Thanks!

I think this issue should be ok soon, a small updates running every day or the other. I encountered this bug too just a moment ago with my asura.

I think there will never be a game that changes in-game world drastically. Majority of player base have not been with the game when it was first launched, so you can´t drop basic content from them. This is the reason why the basic world never changes in any MMO game. Living World, on the other hand, provides a way to put changing world events and story that lives beside the basic content. It it the extra you get being in the right place at the right time. The basic world hardly never changes, because people are still buying this game from stores every single day. The Living World is a design to keep the world feeling like it would be alive.

There should be some kind of per-player-evolving-system if people want that the thousands ingame NPCs change their talk and surroundings when player evolves in the game story. With millions of player accounts this doesn´t seem very realistic to me, to be honest.

I´m waiting season 2 like rising sun, I´ve enjoyed em so much so far. But we all have different opinions, of course. I´d gladly see the whole world changing slowly, but that would be a massive operation. Without monthly cost, I really can´t see that happening at least in this game system. But what ArenaNet could do is change a bit here and there, of course.

Ok, I think I´ll check that sword use first, and if it fits my play style (you can´t teach an old dog…) I´ll give it a good home. I do 99% PvE, some WvWvW for empyreal fragments, but mostly just grinding PvE for my upcoming Zojja daggers. Got my 1st vision crystal almost ready.

That transmutation option made me laugh, it would be something to tell about, “Ye I got an ascended once, got em all the time and dunno what to do all of them, so I just use them for transmutation…” But I so agree that this ascended chest may be one of the most useless one to get. What a shame, but, need to do Tequatl more then, it is one of the most interesting boss fights in this game so I´ll enjoy it

Thanks for the answers everybody! I´ll keep reading this if something else comes up, my warrior takes a week or two to get to lvl80 anyway.

So, got an Ascended Chest, a Mathilde´s Chest, from Tequatl today. Required about 40 Tequatl runs, dropped from an orange dragon chest. I would be all joy and smile, but…

…my characters are Elementalist and Warrior. I don´t think I have patience to go leveling a 3rd character to lvl80 just to get this into action. But, I would ask for advice here, what to do with the chest, what to choose from it?

Mathilde´s ascended weapons have dire stats:
- toughness
- vitality
- condition damage

For elementalist, there isn´t really that much condition damage skills that would be in use all the time. I rarely use earth unless I´m alone and need to kite the enemy a lot. I basicly use double daggers for PvE, 90% with air to make AoE damage. Water for heal and fire for might stacking. I use staff for world bosses, and use frostbow and fiery greatsword skills against them.

With warrior I´m still leveling up towards lvl80, I hate running all those waypoints open again so haven´t been busy with it, really. I´m all open to weapon suggestions, so far I have liked the greatsword a lot. Warrior stacks some bleeding with rifles and some other weapons, but I can hardly think Mathilde´s ascended would be the best one for warrior in any case, really, no power bonuses at all, just tanking and condition. A shield, perhaps? Used with exotic mace or axe?

Too bad it is account bound, I think I would have gave or sold it to someone else if it was possible

But the last question, the wild card… IF you would create a new character for this one, to create condition damage big time, which one would it be?

Thanks for answers, advice and suggestions
