Guild Wars 2

Chyanne Waters.8719:

Well if you watched the Guildwars 2 streaming like guild chat. You would know that one person is responsible for creating Symon/Sya. That person is also a transgender goes by the name of Teddy Nugyen. Just so you all know that don’t

This makes a lot of sense.

Obligatory “Spider Ram.”

I thought the conversation between Symon and the npc was amusing. The picking of the very feminine “Sya” as a new identity and the frilly outfit are all honest representations, intended or not, of real-life transgenders, male to female that is.

I can’t comment on the emphatic praise given to this character by OP and others, or rather I think it’s safe not to.

Here’s another for the log.

Just going to say the op also throws games on purpose

Good thing you shortend that screenshot. You would have saw Hib harassing the whole team out of no where while we were in the lead.

The screen shot was to show your hypocrisy about your post. We all know hiba is a flaming rager.

Doesn’t show what he did. I give up when I am unreasonably harassed after not even knowing who this guy was. He intentionally queues with preconceived notion of giving up matches every game.

Oh sorry, I thought this post was about having a report function for people who troll or throw games intentionally (like what you have done). It seems like this post is about a personal attack on someone because they hurt your feelings.

It is.

look at the chat lol. hibify afk when he got kitten on.

Nice to know that it isn’t personal. He just throws for everyone.

His Twitch is Hibify.

Ingame name is leashmaygoss.2140.

Character he trolls on is Two Hearts One Love.

Please, Anet, add a report function for this. When they get their tier all they do is throw. If you can do anything about them now, it would be much appreciated.

Verdant Brink — Pact Airship Wreckage Hero Point preventing progress.

When I interact with the hero challenge it says
“You’ve gained all you can from this place of power.” (IE Completed)

Minimap says
“Hero Points — Earn 10 Hero Points.” (IE Uncompleted)

The icon on the minimap is no longer centered where the hero challenge is located.
This hero challenge is the last one before my 100% in Verdant Brink and I am incapable of receiving it.

ded gaem, pvp broken. uninstall.

Shocking, really. Grew up with this company at its birth when I was 11 running around Old Ascalon. Back then, I never even heard of Anet’s works other than praise for their quality of life updates.

But this is dire. I can’t say I’m dissapointed because kitten happens, but I hope for an old friend that they will make things right. Faith is all I got now.

Let’s say the core game is $15, which it was, and the character slot is $10 using ingame bought gems.

Now, you’ll give me the character slot, and I’ll give you your core game ‘gift’. That way, I get rewarded for being someone who bought the game at launch, played for almost 1k days, already bought and uses up to 8 slots for each profession, and YOU get a profit of $5!

This just is not the case at all.

I opened my Marriner’s oilcloth bag on a different toon than the one I wanted to use it on.

Put the breather itself in the bank, retrieved it on the toon I wanted to use it on…. and equipped it with no issue whatsoever.

Now….. if say you chose the stats before attempting to transfer the item, it may have indeed become soulbound at that point.

Yep, I chose the stats.

linuxotaku.4731:

Didn’t accepting the item unlock the skin on your account? You won’t get the same stats, but you should at least be able to get the skin via transmutation.

Unfortunately, no. The ‘skin’ is the same as the default so it is automatically unlocked. The item though is the one with the particle effect. If I cant equip the item/move it, then it doesn’t work.

Wardrobe is useless.

So I Pvped a bit and got the Ultimate Gift. Naturally, after every match, I open what I was rewarded and put it into my bank. Unfortunately, the ultimate gift could not be opened in pvp, so I tossed it into the bank for another character to open.

As I swap characters, I got on my war who was in pve. I opened the gift and choose the medium Rebreather in hopes of transferring it to my ranger in PvP.

Pertaining to questions that will be asked as to why didn’t you just go from pvp to pve to open it? The reason doesn’t matter, though I had been crafting and decided to open it on my warrior at the time.

The gift didn’t necessarily disclose >EXPLICITLY< the information that THIS ITEM, which mind you only gives the effect of water crystals from the ITEM ITSELF, WILL BE SOULBOUND ON ACQUISITION.

So I got a cool medium armored rebreather on my warrior that I will never be able to use. I’m not sure how any possible solution can be made because Anet most likely made the particle effect tied to the item to make players go for more than one, but I would love to see any initiative to help remedy my entire journey of suffering the useless presents from the wintersday track for an ultimate gift of regret.

Firstly, incentifizing logging doesn’t mean people will burn out. That assumes they’d be doing certain things with in the game constantly after logging in. Even then, you and I do not have to log in for these rewards.

Secondly, this isn’t a new thing. Other games have it a plenty and I fail to see any negatives for the gamer associated with log in rewards.

Thirdly, there are plenty of ‘log-in’ rewards already. Camp your toon next to your home instance and gather resource nodes that reset daily, time-gated ascended materials, and certain events.

To answer some of your concerns though, log in rewards are not entirely and solely expected to Freemium mobile games, though they are there. Warframe, first game that comes to mind, uses log-in rewards.

“I know that A-net are trying to make us keep coming back with the patches, and I accepted their “Log-in with each patch” approach to do so… but THIS is a bit to obvious”

Not sure what you’re getting at here, but I hope that Anet is obvious with their design decisions geared at getting more players to keep coming back. That is what I define as a good game. The whole perception of Anet being desperate is a moot opinion, and I would prefer more points as to WHY it makes them seem desperate than just telling me.

“After all loging in is not something to justify a reward.”

Why not?

“Besides that, not all of us can log-in every day so not to break the chain, ether because of work, being away from home (it’s not something you can do from your cell phone) or simply don’t feel like playing today.”

Maybe you didn’t read the whole article:

“Missed a day because of work, vacation, or a work vacation? No worries, your progress is still there! The next time you log in, you’ll pick up where you left off. The system will only reset once you’ve claimed the 28th and final reward.”

“The Biggest advantage GW2 has over paying MMOs is that you can stop any time without fearing of wasting the subscription you’ve paid”

Non sequitor, but if you are implying that this log-in system thus diminishes this advantage then I would require more examples/points because otherwise it’s just conjecture.

“Forcing us to get into the game every day will only cause us to burn out and downright quit it at some point.”

Not forcing. It is an incentive.

Hey guys, just wanted to hear some of your experiences playing the living story/silverwastes.

To start off, while I was commanding amber in an organized defense I saw a box of hammers. As I and another player grabbed a hammer we both rushed over to repair the gate that had been destroyed.

As both of our characters bended over to start repairs admidst an ongoing struggle to protect the fort, we used our hammer on the ground 10 times before I said to the other player, “To be honest, idk if this even works.”

“Yeah, I thought it was suppose to repair the door but it doesn’t seem to be working.”

“Wanna ditch this job?”

“I guess it’s back to killing countless of Modrem… sigh”

Another instance I had almost finished a veteran Modrem event and saw a Mesmer running to me for participation. Instead of finishing the vet, I use Point Blank Shot to toss it over to the Mesmer who used GS 5 to toss him back to another player behind him.

Couldn’t help but be overcomed with a Christmas spirit.

Sorry man! I’ll delete this thread as soon as I can figure out how.

’Cause why not?

This idea came to me after seeing Guild Wars 1 series appearing on the store. If GW2 did join Steam not only would we see a boost of players but also a steady stream based on how Steam advertises games. Anet does relatively large updates to their game which has little to none advertising. It is difficult to put out commercials for (E.G.) Update 13.

But from seeing Warframe, another game on Steam that constantly performs large updates, I think GW2 would constantly attract the attention of the community by advertising their updates on the feature page along with some buzz words/pictures.

Would love to hear the pros and cons to this mainly because I do not understand the marketing practices behind steam (do they get a cut of the sales/how much?), and if any Anet employees who like to weigh in, would this even be a possibility?

Kotaki is your favorite artist? I mean, he is good and all, and I really admire his work, but getting a sleeve of his artwork seems like a lot. I guess I’m asking why he inspires you so much? Are you an artist as well?

Few tips is that when leveling get power, precession, and ferocity on leveling equipment. If your gear falls behind your lvl, go to the trade post to buy armor for 3s a piece.

As for skills/pets/weapons. Go quickening zephyr, sic em, signet of the hunt for movement speed. Change signet for either signet of survival or a flame trap for extra aoe for clearing hearts. Best pets for pve, hands down, are cats and drakes. Always have lightning drake for the 30s op aoe. As for weapons, I suggest gs with shortbow/sword,torch/shortbow, or switch shortbow out with longbow for areas where you need the aoe.

Stick to Meele. It is faster regarding dps, switch to range to close distance or kite or longbow 5, then quickly switch back.

Hope this helps.

I reside in NA, so I don’t think the Belgium problem applies to me.

This error pops up and is accompanied with the text that I am disconnected from the internet and that I should restart the game. Unfortunately, it happens every 30-60 minutes of gameplay whether I am in WvW or a dungeon. I’ve checked my internet connectivity during these DC’s and there is no discrepancy.

When getting the message my game disconnects and my GW2 screen goes black with just the message there. Having no option to reconnect I have to of course restart the client. I don’t need to explain how annoying this can be.

Any suggestions? Also as a side-note, I get the same error message when I play GW1 as well which is particularly strange.

SPOILER FOR SYLVARI PERSONAL STORY

As we have all witnessed and confirmed that the new dragon that was disturbed by Scarlet’s shenanigans is indeed Mordremoth. Exact location of his rising is in suggested to be in Brisban Wildlands which is a theory uncontested at the moment.

I have also seen talk of a specific Sylvari who is buried under the personal story of Sylvari made characters. Malyck, who is discovered to not be of the Pale Tree that we all know as being associated with Ventari’s Tablet, is separate from the Dream which draws interesting speculation as to the effects the Pale Tree Mother has on its offspring and the possibility of difference from Tree to Tree.

My theory holds that Malyck will be a tie to the new content concerning Modremoth who is commonly associated with the element of nature and the color green, and the Pale Tree (or can we even call the others ‘Pale Trees?’) which Malyck is born from will be the center of the conflict.

One thing to note is that the Sylvari we know now are immune to the dragon’s corruption, or at least Zhaitan’s as far as I can tell. But other Trees do not have the Dream which could be serving as a buffer against corruption. Perhaps Malyck will have returned to a Tree that is thoroughly influenced by Modremoth. Seems like the only option to me considering a dragon needs an army, and Husks don’t go a far way.

Sigh. I feel let down, but gotta wait to see how it pans out. Who knows? This may be the turn around for us rangers.

We need an update from Allie to talk to us in regards to what options are on the table so we can start focalizing on unresolved issues/add suggestions.

Is permastow truly being considered in a serious manner?
This alone would open a plethora of new topics/refinements to the CDI and would also prevent the waste of countless posts on solutions/problems that aren’t given attention.

We need a detailed summary of what the developers want, otherwise we are shooting in the dark.

Specific Game Mode
PvX
Proposal Overview
An approach to be inclusive of several ideas gleamed from the community and making them readily available to the developers through an integrated usage of three main concepts considered to be negative for the ranger: The Pet AI, Spirits, and Traits.

Goal of Proposal
To try to actualize how to kill 3 birds with one stone (pun intended).

Proposal Functionality
A lot more adaptable to fit balancing issues and improve ranger UI by lessening the amount of clutter on the screen while also adding increased benefit to the pet without having rely heavily upon the broken AI and finally freeing up the traits to be less tied to utilities allowing a greater variety of ranger builds.

First step would be to integrate the spirits within the pet. This would resemble to some extent having auras surrounding your pet as if itself had become a spirit. The utility skill would be refitted to give the pet the aura and perhaps a secondary function similar to that of the spirits by creating an aoe around the pet or ranger. The second functionality can certainly be open to more concepts.

This reduces Trait reliance which are meant to make certain utility skills more potent in a state of situational uses rather than making them usable from a state of uselessness.

Associated Risks
The specifics, numbers, and perhaps balancing issues but nonetheless it seems conceptual a rock solid idea.

Has anyone gotten their playlist to play with Windows 8?

I wish this answer could be resolved, but I haven’t seen any guide referring to the problem/forum post after I searched for it. Tried all the previous methods of changing the music yet nothing works and I’m guessing it’s Windows 8. Hopefully someone more technologically savy will reopen custom music as an option to us.

Our age as in our current population. Not sure how else to define it? Pretty much the people who enjoy guild wars 2…

From what I can tell, we don’t know anything other than the official statement that Anet has sold 3 million copies. Personal experience of people buying games, playing the game, and leaving the game amount to no empirical knowledge that I desire to know. And to those who say “it doesn’t matter”. I want to know how well the sales are and the consistency of log-ins made by its player base to better understand how our age is receiving this game.

Another reason is I want to see how well Anet is doing by their hard work and continuing support and free patches (something I do not experience to this degree in any other game).

Guys, I’ve been searching for some recent information as to how many continually play Guild Wars 2 and bought the game, unfortunately all I could find is outdated information dating back several months ago. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong place, but I would like to see how well Anet is doing in sales and the continuance of its player base.

Does anyone find the negativity in these forums, especially the ones about the Guild Wars 2 economy, daunting? Even so far as to notice certain players challenging developers who do not necessarily have to help or answer us.

This topic will be more focused around the concept of the gem market. Please, let us set aside the fact that Anet is making money off of it… Kormir forbid the developers make money off a game! I have seen hostility towards the ability to indirectly buy in-game gold by exchanging gems. Help me, and others reading this topic to understand the negative and positive effects the gem store has on the game and players.

This may already been discussed and if so please add the link.

Kegmaster is still not updating for those who maxed previous sections of the keg brawl before the Wintersday update. Can a dev reply to either assure that it will be fixed or prevent some from chasing an unobtainable title.
