Guild Wars 2

Because a Wizard won’t seek to recreate the trinity right <3

4) I don’t think it’s useful at all, as the cast times are so low anyway.
5) I believe it’s all conditions, if people are close enough. And yes it can.
I do it myself, it’s quite funny. It’s like taking out the trash.

Hi !!!!!!! Enjoy!!

It’s awesome, stop it. It’s Blue and adds some magic feel.

Hiya.

When in a dungeon and you skip a cutscene, the other
players characters often stand and shake while they’re watching
it. Odd ^^

/wiki opens YOU GUESSED IT, the wiki.
You still have to do a search yourself though.

You do get warnings, so I don’t know if you’re just trolling or…

In dungeons you get like 3 hour warnings?

OR they could just make Halloween a yearly event and then you’ll
simply have to wait until next year to get your costume brawling done,
in the places with usual high activity; like LA.

Hiya.

I’ve experienced bugs like anyone else has. Many are quite terrible and very annoying; especially if they hinder progress. So my idea is, would it be possible to insert some kind of mechanism that acts as a timer when you do things like dungeons, so that after X amount of time, if such and such hasn’t occured, then the game will consider it a bug and the players will be booted from the dungeon, while receiving at least SOME of the reward?

It could furthermore be percentage-based, so that if a dungeon bugs out very early, you won’t get as high as a reward as you would if the bug occurs at say, the final boss. Naturally, this mechanism shouldn’t activate just because players idle for some time; but only if they’ve been detected as being in a place where something should have happened.

I didn’t know of this. My group managed to finish.
I hope they get it sorted, along with CM if they haven’t.

Nice. Many people could definitely do good checking this out .
I totally agree.

@Black Dragon
Well that’s the point. Yours just wont get read then, if you’re lazy.
Why should anyone BOTHER to read what you wrote, when you yourself
were lazy?…

Kita you should make a video. Write a speech like that
and add some dramatic video and you’ve got a win !

I love being super difficult to kill. It’s hilarious.
Especially when people start dying around me!
Then I get to play hero <3

Hiya.

Suggestion 1 – Revival

It would be really swell if you fixed the Mesmers. Countless times now, I’ve
been reviving their clones. I think it’s really really silly you’re able to revive clones.
This is especially true when in Dungeons. There’s no benefit to it. It’s just detrimental
to your efforts at getting them back in the game. Either make it so that when you heal a clone, the player gets healed. OR simply make one unable to revive clones. I could see the tactical potential in it, if it was something like WvW and it looked like you were healing a downed player. But we’re all on the same team, so no.

Suggestion 2 – Party System

When you’re in a party and you’re not the leader, you can’t invite anyone. This is reasonable. However, I propose that as a member of a party, you can still have an option to “Suggest Add”. This means that when you right click someones name or portrait, you can click on Suggest Add. This will essentially forward that person to the screen of the party leader, who then gets an Accept/Decline option. This would be quite useful for when you don’t feel like spelling someones name out or mentioning several people who should be invited.

Suggestion 3 – Guild Rank

Guilds are big and useful structures in GW2. Many guilds grow quite big and they’ve got many members. I suggest that you receive an official PM whenever you gain a new rank. I just rose a rank in my guild, without really noticing it much. I think this is sup-par to how things should be done. I think you should get a PM which has a default set of text, which is automatically sent to you when you get a new rank. It will of course include what rank you’ve attained. This message can furthermore be edited by the guild owner(s) or others with the correct rank, so as to enable them to make a more personalized message that fits their guild.

This is great. Just makes you poor though !

Oh and to support what codingCaptor said.
Press enter and then type /m for “map chat”.

/s for Say, which is only visible to people around you.
/p for Party, when you join one. So only party members can hear you.
/g for Guild, when you eventually get into one.
/r for Reply, if someone whispers to you in pink text.

Yo.

Well the reason for the empty zone, is because that’s a starter zone you’re in.
As people level, they naturally want to go for tougher things and that’s in higher
level zones. You will get to see more people though, so hang in there. I know it’s
not fun to do it all yourself, but luckily due to downscaling, it’s always possible for
others to come help you. I recommend joining a guild, once you find some people.

If you press B while in-game you’ll pull up the WvW (World Vs World) tab. From here you can join in on the huge battles waged between servers. I wouldn’t recommend doing so while you’re so low level (even though you’ll get upscaled. But you won’t get new skills unlocked). Wait until at least around 30, that’s what I’d say. Anyhow…At the top of the tab, you’ll see there’s some names, with differently coloured backgrounds. These are the server names. The worlds who are fighting each other. If you hover your mouse over each of them, the server you’re on, will display a little pop-up stating that it’s your homeworld.

Generally I think it’s extremely lame when things which
are a PART OF THE GAME ITSELF like Kessex Hills as the OP
mentioned, gets censored.

I do kinda agree Sanctuary isn’t neccesarily worth it very much, compared
to what it used to what you could otherwise get. It’s just a shame for such an
ability! and I can’t believe it might’ve been an elite !

It was challenging, but not thaaaaaat hard.
I HATE, DETEST, LOATHE, ABHOR ALL CHARR AND NORN
THOUGH!!!!! I just can’t describe the rage I feel towards them.
How huge they are, arrogant looking, stupid looking. Even the girls.
And that they of course block EVERYTHING. Hated that part.
So I was so glad when I got to do the clock tower alone, eventually.
Free of putrid charr and norn.

I wouldn’t get my hopes up if I were you.
If they did this, don’t you think they’d have to do it for
everything else that happens then? Could create a bad precedent.
What if there’s an Earthquake in area X with X amount of GW2 players
during some other event? Then they’ll say they want things prolonged too.

Maybe it would help if people weren’t automatically ported to cities like Lions Arch when finishing some Halloween stuff :p.

Welcome to GW2 then haha.
Nice of you to introduce yourself.
You wouldn’t know it, but it means a lot that you express
your positive feelings towards the game, on this forum.

You can only have so many Gods walking among mere mortals, before
it becomes unimpressive. So a little bit of potential for oversights, might
help.

And the point of this would be?…

Skritt as a playable race is RIDICULOUS! Get a grip!
If you want Skritt to be playable, well then I want Dredge to be
playable too. Why not? You’d wear heavy armor and you’d say that
iconic dredge sound whenever you’re struck.

Is it possible to change the compatibility settings perhaps?

Awesome indeed.

As someone else said, the lighting is different.
Have you tried clicking the little yellow lightbulb on the
left picture? : p. That turns off the background lighting and
so makes you able to see what your character will look like in
low-light settings; particularly useful if you create a Sylvari, as their
hair changes color during night.

This BUGS me too ;D
I hope they fix it : p.

Indeed. Oh man, have you tried fighting those ascalonian ghosts?!
There’s one place where, on your way to a vista, you come to a flat open
area. It contains like 10 or something of those warriors. You can barely
manage to kill 5 before they’re back.

Try run netalyzr, from berkeley.
Search it.

If you play Twillight Arbor and then face a champion wurm and stand right
at its base and use the leap, you have over 50% chance of leaping at one of the
veteran wurms nearby… Super silly.

I love using savbe yourselves to draw conditions from nearby allies,
to me. Then use contemplation of purity to make them into boons.
Haha. It’s like throwing out the trash.

I didn’t realize that stability was the cause.
That’s just sad! Urgh sanctuary >< … Doesn’t even
heal well.

Game breaker? Pathetic.
I guess you’ll just have to work harder to bring in the doe then ! ^^
There’s plenty ways to earn cash. . .

No surprise there.
I especially HATE when nightmare courties for example, boss
types, just RUN through it…

Really weird. Just play the game…
Would also blow if you saw lots of level 80 people, who weren’t actually
as knowledgeable as you should be at that stage.

What about Engineer. Can’t imagine they do a whole lot haha.
Guardian CAN be quite frantic… You try keep your party topped up
on regen, protection and all sorts of other boons, while dodging, healing
yourself, then dodging, attacking and keeping an eye on peoples health etc.
But hey! Maybe I’m just a bad player.

Welcome ^^ GW2 is awesome.

1: Well for you, you should probably go necromancer. Elementalist is a caster too naturally, but they have the lowest healthpool in the game. This just adds an extra layer of challenge however. All classes can do both PVP & PVE of course, with varying tactics. You could also consider the Engineer perhaps.

2: Depends on what your region is. I’d pick a server which has a Medium population. If you like RP, then Tarnished Coast is said to be the unofficial RP server.

3: Sure on some servers there are very big guilds. But “good” is a loose term so I can’t really answer. If anything, you can always make your own. You can also be part of multiple guilds at any one time, so your loyalties CAN be fluid ^^. This site serves to keep track of guilds in GW2 http://www.gw2guilds.org/

4: No, not in particular. Asura are fine I guess. I wouldn’t pick one, same as I wouldn’t pick a Charr either, since they’re disgusting. I’ve also heard that armor just doesn’t look as good on Charr as on others. Asura can potentially be quite good if you for instance pick a thief. Because then you’re quite hard to target in PVP, besides all the stealthing otherwise.

If you happened to play on the server I play on, I’d be glad to help you out by the way.

I don’t think you can really tell, solely from doing the mists trick.
But whatever. I think the Guardian is awesome, because there ARE
ways to become that unstoppable THING that helps everyone. You can
really build in such a way as to output a lot of damage with a Guardian, while
stil being such a great force multiplier ^^.

I hate elementalists. I hate the name, the way they look when they play etc. That’s just me ^^.

Oh my goodness yes Tim… I can see it before my eyes.

Nyaru, I’m not really THAT fussed about the duration. As I said, it’s more
the fact that Sanctuary… Well, isn’t a sanctuary. That’s what I hate. In fast paced
battles, seconds do matter. Thus I’m okay with the duration. I know some people
would definitely call it extremely imbalanced to have something like sanctuary act
like a true sanctuary, for 15-20 seconds though. However, it’s still interesting what you
said. Especially about wall of reflection. I hope they take a look at sanctuary the most though, as the Wall has 10 sec and is quite good at what it does. Maybe if sanctuary were bigger, so you could at least have SOME chance (maybe) at dodging incoming spells, while being protected from certain projectiles, WHILE healing. The problem is though, that so many poison spells have a HUGE AOE.

Well I’m glad you think so ! ^^
I think it’s one of those little details that make the experience
even more smooth.

Hiya.

When you use a skill (not a weapon skill) then it naturally goes
on CD (Cooldown). But it often happens, at least to me, that I’d like
to switch that skill to another one. But I can’t. Instead, I have to wait for
the original skill to finish its CD before I can change it.

I think you should instead have a system wherein you can change your skills
freely, even if the slot you want to change a skill in, contains a skill that is on CD.
Then the skill you change to, simply also has to wait for the first skills CD to finish, before you can use it. This way you won’t forget to change or accidentally use the
same skill again, because you thought you had changed it.

WhiteSides Ridge!
If you pick that, I can help you out ^^
I play a Guardian too.

Hiya.

I love the idea and looks of Sanctuary. It’s so cool !
But in practice, it fails many times. I’m disappointed in this really.

It has a lengthy CD (cooldown) and that’s fine. But when I use it,
I often experience that it’s a total waste. Against the Fire elemental
in Metrica Province it doesn’t block at least 2 of the attacks it can throw at you.
Neither the one where fire skids across the ground, nor where molten
volcanic rock rises from beneath. On top of this, I’ve even experienced
HARPIES, those flying devils with swords, being able to stand up close and still
strike me, while in Sanctuary. Bossess just wade through it too, although THIS
I can better understand. Poison penetrates Sanctuary too and this is just so annoying. Especially given the size of the sanctuary.
I think it would be fair to make some kind of rule such as, if you place sanctuary on an area that already is poisoned, then the poison will be in the sanctuary too. However if you place sanctuary on clear ground, then that doesn’t occur.

I think it’s kind of cool. It makes it feel like you’re using a special
skill, as no other skills are that spammable. Plus it has a long CD so
you don’t use it as much as say your basic attack

A friend of mine got to 80 in 168 hours, where he didn’t really
explore much. He had like 36% world completion. I on the other hand,
who was like a level 56 or so I think, had 50% world completion because
I had used that same 168 hours to play the game ^^.

I have a Sylvari Guardian, due to I think it fits well.
Guardian fits well with the Sylvari “spirit” I believe.

So you want a kind of bare bones, minimized WvW in essence.
Doesn’t feel as epic then to be honest. I don’t have a super computer, yet
I run those zergs just fine. Soo..
