Guild Wars 2

@Tenclub ~ You prove one of the points I was making. Even though the waypoints and keys are a very temporary thing. It has you sold without a care in the world really about the other things offered.

Well personally those 4 weeks would help me a lot. I have just gotten to level 80 and don’t have that much gold so every bit I can save helps.

The only other difference is the fractals and tbh it doesn’t matter to me which gets chosen =)

Lastly Kiel to me is a better choice just for who she is if we go by a RP standpoint. She’s someone that has worked with my character and that my character knows/trusts. While Evon is a trader who I first met when he was sneakily standing behind me eavesdropping on a conversation.

So if we go by candidates that is how I feel. If it was the Charr that was in Kiels shoes I would pick him. It’s not a matter of human vs charr to me.

Hope that clarifies some!

No I did not know that =) Well I’ll look at what permanent content they both are offering. But in terms of the temporary stuff the waypoints would be much more useful.

Edit: I just checked and the only other difference is the Fractals. So I’ll stick to my original pick =)

Sorry I disagree entirely. I am voting for Kiel because cheaper waypoints are much more valuable than cheaper black lion keys. The chests rarely ever give you anything good and in my personal opinion are a waste of money.

I’ll vote for the candidate with cheaper waypoints over the one with cheaper black lion keys =)

Thank you for the free kite!!

Hi, I had a request/question. I was wondering if the new items that are coming with the July 23rd update will be able to be purchased with the fortumes. I have 250 but I do not really like the helms and already have a catcher. So it would be really great. Here is what I’m talking about:

http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/473/view/news/read/28065/Guild-Wars-2-Cutthroat-Politics-Coming-July-23rd-Details-Inside.html

“Participate in the Southsun Survival or Aspect Arena activities, or test your mettle in the new Candidate Trials PVE Challenge. When doing so, you can earn a beautiful Desert Rose. stylish Zephyr Rucksack, or a little miniature Ellen Kiel and Evon Gnashblade of your very own!”

I know it tells you to participate in the activities but since the dream catchers can be purchased with the kites I was hoping it will be the case here.

Thanks!

I see thank you for the answers! Just frustrating that after 50 races I haven’t gotten a single skin =.=

Hi guys I was wondering if 1st place increases your chance of getting the skin in the race. Reason I ask is because I’ve done over 50 races and not a single skin drop. I have gotten first but I mostly allow people who don’t have it to get it.

If this is affecting my chances I’d like to know. I’ve heard in game that it doesn’t but I would like a for sure answer.

I’m getting really frustrated at having done so many and not getting anything worthwhile.

Thank you for reading!

Thank you very much! Much appreciated!

Thanks I appreciate that! Since I’m a 80 now finding groups shouldn’t be a problem I just bumped this thread to give a big thank you to everyone who was offering me groups.

(Thank you post to everyone)

Hi, I know it’s a really long time.

I’m a level 80 now (just got it this week and finished the personal story) and mostly played it solo but I did get a couple dungeons done with some nice people I saw throughout the game.

Anyway the only reason I am bumping this is to say thank you to everyone so kind enough to post and offer to run it for me. Didn’t mean to ignore you all. So again big thank you and I apologize for bumping a 2 month old thread. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone.

Hi! I have a question. I was googling for this new Celestial armor everyone is talking about and how to get it but I haven’t found anything on it. Not even a skin.

Can someone please explain to me how I can get this armor? =)

Thank you

Well something should be done because in the end I can’t think of another game that has this problem.

Anyway, thanks for reading and commenting everyone. Going to go watch a movie. Ciao!

Why don’t they just make two versions of the Explorable mode?

A level 80 heroic version locked to level 80’s and a 35 version that is easier and didn’t make those changes that you all are talking about.

It seems like a reasonable solution and something that every other MMO does.

I’m not angry and I get your point of view as well, so don’t think I’m looking at it from my side only.

I get it… what you can complete in let’s say 30 minutes you don’t want to spend an hour on that’s completely reasonable.

I did complete it once and yes I did slow the group down but so did a level 80. There was a point where we both at different sections had to be escorted to the rest of the group because we died and fell behind, however, no one yelled or got mad at either of us and rage quit or kicked us out. Everyone was completely fine with it and happy to help because they get that not everyone is a pro at this game whether you are level 80 or 35.

I get that not everyone wants to do that and if this level 35 dungeon is really not meant for 35 then you are right it is the game developers fault. However if that was truly the case how did level 35’s do this when the game first came out? Did everyone level to 80 then do it? Something tells me no they didn’t.

So I’m not naive here but I have never played a game where a level 35 dungeon is just not a 35 dungeon. They might as well make every dungeon level 80 if this is the case instead of sending me mail telling me to go to this dungeon.

What I am upset about is being the scapegoat in some groups and kicked for no reason. Where you literally have a level 80 not waiting for anyone, pulling all this aggro, and not following instructions yet I am the one being scolded because I die from someone’s else’s mistake. Of course that’s not every group and I have met some wonderful people in this game like the ones from my last group.

Anyway, in the end I see it from your point of view but I hope you see it from mine as well. When a game says “Level 35 dungeon” and you are told you must be 80 I hope you can see why it would be frustrating to someone like me who is still new to the game and is being kicked left and right by 80’s in a dungeon marked ‘35.’

Thank you for sharing your point of view. Personally, when I get to 80 I would have no problem with a 35 joining a dungeon he/she is told by the game they can participate in. If I have to explain how it works to him/her and have the dungeon take a bit longer that’s completely fine. Because that’s a new player who will be grateful for it and will hopefully do the same to newbies when he/she is 80.

Thank you for reading. Post turned out longer than I planned even with some trimming.

I’m sorry but that is ridiculous. Why must I be a level 80 in a 35 dungeon. In no game has that ever been a problem where a character that is ON LEVEL with the dungeon must literally be max level to do the lowest level dungeon.

Second I am not a problem. I follow directions and do it well and quite frankly it’s plenty of the level 80’s that die in traps, pull tons of aggro, etc.

Am I a great player? No of course not I am new. Just as you were at some point and I’m sure you were doing these dungeons at the level the game said you should be and you didn’t know the mechanics either.

If people don’t want to explain it that’s fine but it is ridiculous that a level 35 in a level 35 dungeon is not allowed and instead you need to be 45 levels above it to participate.

Hey all,

I guess this is a bit of a vent but also a serious question. I don’t think I have ever played a game where people are so hostile and unfriendly to beginners in dungeons.

I’ve literally been trying to do Ascalonian Catacombs for 2 days but cannot due to problem after problem.

The biggest one being that I’m a level 35 trying to do a 35 dungeon instead of a level 80. I don’t think I’ve ever played a game where people kick you for not being max level on the lowest req dungeon.

The second reason is when I am asked if I’ve ever done this. When the answer is no I’ve been kicked because apparently my entire team has been pro at this since day one and they’ve never had a first time in this dungeon.

The second to last group I was in I was kicked at the last boss because they decided they wanted an 80.

This has to be the most unfriendly and frustrating dungeon experience I have ever encountered in an MMO. If this is going to be my experience with every dungeon I might as well just skip them. I get it if some people don’t care to explain something to beginners that’s fine but at least give me a chance. to sink or swim. If I’m terrible okay kick me but give me the opportunity to do a level 35 dungeon without having to be a level 80.

It’s just unfair and frustrating.

My 2 cents. Thank you for reading if you did.

I’m stuck at 99% on the windows client.

This must be a known issue by now right? Never had this problem before.

My desktop gamma is not suited for GW2. I manually adjust the gamma in some games because it’s too dark. However, I like the way the desktop is and the colors are fantastic so for some games I just make it brighter in game.

I would just like to find out why my gamma slider is now broken when it was working fine before.

Thank you for the input though.

Hi thanks for the response.

Yes it’s set to fullscreen.

While I can move the gamma slider it doesn’t do anything.

So for example 0.50 has no difference compared to 1.00. 1.00 has no difference compared to 2.00.

The setting doesn’t change.

Hey guys,

quick question. I am having issues with the gamma slider. It used to work fine but now it doesn’t do anything. I’ve deleted the My Documents folder to let the game re-create it but it didn’t work.

I even re-downloaded the entire game but no go. Anyone know what went wrong?
Thank you
