Guild Wars 2

MINOR LW3 SPOILERS

In the first episode we see Rytlock seemingly having problems with Charr command, I assume because he’s basically blowing off his rank and duties after his Mists-walk. Following that, shouldn’t player charr have a similar issue?

MINOR CHARR PERSONAL STORY SPOILERS TO FOLLOW

As a charr you’re in charge of a small band, which is temporarily given over to your second in command while you work with the Pact. Now however we’ve quit the pact, so lore wise wouldn’t we be facing the same problem?

Note: I haven’t played through it on a charr yet, so let me know if this does come up.

I was rather happy with HoT, but from day one I always saw GW2 as they advertised it, a casual MMO that I return to occasionally when new content is releasekittenhe only one who remembered that point? Casual you play between other games an mmos since it’s sub free? Eh? ¯\(o.o)/¯

Thanks, I guess my settings have changed recently. Sadly nothing new then =/

So it’s about the third day since launch and already I can’t find enough people to so a skill challenge between the time limit and the strength. This is not what I expected when I thought I’d be getting new class options… =/

Couldn’t finding anything by search or google, have they announced what time on the 23rd HoT will activate?
I’m hoping for midnight, but most of their updates seem to be around 10am

I was re-watching on another character and noticed this. As is evident by the appearance of burnt Ascalon, this is the GW1 map, given this is a special cut scene I can’t imagine that’s an oversight, anyone heard anything about it?

I don’t know about that, but healing an entire party on fire from nearly 0 to full in a few seconds seems worth rewarding when it’s traded for more damage…

As I understand it events mostly give credit for damaging the enemy (for the battle ones at least). However some of the new specializations and rev have very support oriented skill sets (Druid, Herald, and Centaur Stance, etc.). My friend’s got his druid healing 20k+ almost instantly, but has about 0 damage output, so has there been any word if event credit conditions are going to be updated to match the seeming slant toward adding support builds?

I admit I only have 3-4 hours of time into the revnant, but from what I’ve seen so far with not only switching between legends, but with how trading off energy regen vs activation, and how it seems the most effective method will be switching between legends on the fly (similar to ele), I can’t help but feel this is now the most complicated class in the game.

I have friends coming back at launcher of HoT and am trying to determine Rev’s difficulty when they ask.

The running off to “attack” things is a problem, I think that should be fixed. Otherwise I just toggle walk and use it to sneak through things.

One of my favorite gyros.

I’m wondering if the “floor” of the map will be fleshed out more? I enjoyed falling and gliding into the depths trying to find stuff.

Unfortunately I’ve found I don’t have a screenshot, but my friend and I ran across a small temple ruin made of moss covered stone at the bottom of part of the beta map (after falling to out deaths).

I’m wondering if anyone else has seen them or found any lore on em yet.

Audio in the rest of the game works for me, cut scenes almost entirely silent.

Using all the new traits and skills even the default gear seemed fine to clear various areas. Definitely requires a lot more dodging and using your skills strategically, but that makes it even more fun for me.

Double swords Grasping Shadow seems to false trigger a lot. I assume it’s because of range, but the skill also lacks the safegaurd to that stops it and tells out “No path” or “out of range.”

Tried, twice. A mesmer even got us up into the arena and there’s just a dead wurm here and no event. -_- I can deal with bugs, but the turtorial being bugged I find absurd. *implode**

Well it is actively broken right now. “Test your might” just goes on infinitely.

I and a few others are stuck in a broken instance of the Norn starting area. Gate won’t open, I’ve tried guesting, and thanks to invisible walls we can’t get around the door. Any ANET staff monitoring the forums able to give us a hand here?

The size of the patch is my concern, has there been any word on that? (I guess it’s not a normal thing to request?)

Due to where I live I have exceedingly slow download speed, which hasn’t previously been a problem since I could just buy a hard copy. However HoT will not be offering pre-purchase benefits to retailers as I understand it.

So my question is will ArenaNet offer preload prior to the launch? (I.E. I’d like that veteran character slot, but also want to play launch day with my friends, not 2-3 days later)

(And no my computer is not a laptop so I can’t feasibly take it in to a coffee shop or something.)

Thanks.

So the wiki and such say the stone summit vanished mysteriously after the death of Duncan the black, however I came across this in Dredgehaunt Cliffs.

This indicates the remaining stone summit became stone as well. Seems easy enough to find, but I haven’t seen any reference to it in lore articles so I thought I’d bring it up.

After playing Order of Whispers I’m wondering do the other two orders have any special benefits?

OoW has secret NPCs that give you clues to puzzles, events, lore bits, and in Lonar’s pass an entire outpost hidden under a house with vendors and everything.

In my travels on my one non-whisper character I haven’t noticed any such benefits, not even any exclusive lore tid-bits.

So… Is there any cool stuff the other orders have lying around the world? o_O

I reach the Concordia mission and everyone’s all fine and cheery about their shiny new fort… Which is mangled and destroyed by vines…

Is there a way perhaps the living story could not change the maps within the story missions? The Living Story is awesome, as is how it affects the world, but it’s a bit weird when the new events are affecting instances that are supposed to be in the past (IE Mordremoth influence in the time when Zhaitan still lived).

This is the first time I’ve seen it (right after hearing the asura talking about "accidents are exceedingly rare), I exited an asura gate, and while moving, my asura warrior’s neck vanished, causing his head to rest directly on his shoulders. Once he stopped moving, his head seemingly just popped back up. I’ve only seen these right after exiting gates so far.

IIRC it’s built atop Rin which was a major city in Ascalon.

Thanks for the reply, I had hoped it was more than just generic =/

Though perhaps with Frost and Flame shaking up the charr and norn areas we may find some new insight…

I was exploring the Infestation up in Iron marches and noticed these odd ruins. They don’t appear of human design (or at least not Ascalonian). Any one know/have theories on what these might be the remains of so far north?

Having the same thing happen, first with Zoija, then recently in an Order of Whispers scene with the Ministry guards.

It does appear to be something with the scenes removing all head wear (which has always happened for players), but now it’s affects the NPCs that used to keep their helmets on.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Anet also said Legendaries would be entirely soloable, difficult, but soloable. Requiring WvW for world completion, which is required for legendaries, makes them entirely NOT soloable.

(Due to wvw completion I’ve never tried for a legendary, so correct me if there are other anti-solo hurdles, just my 2-cents)

Agreed, something has to be done, otherwise 100% and legendaries are impossible for pve people or those on server who don’t give a crap about wvw.

So as I’m pounding my head on my keyboard seeing the WVW map all the other server’s colors and the 3 hours an alliance of pretty much the only active pvp guilds spent to capture a place only to lose it 3 minutes later… Anet commented any about removing this?

Because really all this requirement does is force people to change servers, which I don’t want to do, but am now seriously considering… (hoping they don’t remove server transfer because that would kill any hope of ever getting 100%)

In the first few weeks of GW2 i remember hearing and seeing for sale light armor goggles on the trading post . According to what I can find they are tailor crafted. Does anyone know the recipe or name of these illusive goggles?

Thank you.

Edit: I found the med monocle, but the light goggles are still evading me, anyone know if they still exist?

When they remove WvW from map completion, perhaps then a discussion over ending transfers could start, until then, no. =/
