Guild Wars 2

Will Mini Gwynefyrdd still be available in this years trick or treat bags? Have given my friend thousands of bags with no luck and they really want it.

This is to ANet’s sales department. What are the odds that ANet would make a charm for something like a Pandora bracelet? I know my girlfriend would love something like this for Christmas. Guild Wars 2 has a decent female population and i’m sure other female members would like something like this as well. As for the male population you could make a ring or necklace.

Just a thought, no harm in putting the idea out there.

This was a fun thing to do and spur of the moment. We truly have an amazing community. Everyone was friendly when we called for people to join us. Thanks to everyone for joining.

My friend lives out in the country and does not even get 1mb download speed. For the past 3 days we get home from work and log onto Guild Wars to play. Within 15 minutes of playing we are met with “New build available in 10 minutes”. For me its no problem I get 30mb. For her it means not playing for the whole night and having to run the download over night.

We have both been looking forward to the 2nd beta event, she just purchased the expansion so she could play in this beta, and playing WvW on reset night like we always do. Within 30 minutes of testing the new specializations we see the “New build available in 10 minutes” again. She has been downloading since the patch was put up and is only at 30%, That’s going on 3 hours of not being able to play and at the rate its going she will probably not be able to play tonight at all.

I know the majority of the player base probably has decent internet, so ArenaNet does not think about the people that play their game who have crappy internet. I am writing this because if she tried to it would just slow her internet down further and delay the download even more.

Can any tell me what the size of the update from 06/23/15 was?

Same here, my fps in DR is normal 50 and now it sits at 25 or lower.

It something small but helpful in my opinion. Have your FPS show on your mini map just like the clock. This way you do not have to go to your options or download a 3rd party program.

Me and my friend were talking about this the other day. It really seems time for there to be a lot of new skins to be added to the game. We have been stuck with the majority of the same skins since launch.

Silalus.8760:

This would be awesome. I would pay too, though probably not if it was per character (like bag slots). If a reasonable price unlocked it as a feature for all characters, like a bank tab or the wardrobe, I’d certainly pay for that.

I do not think something like this should be a gemstore item. This would seem more like something they would add in an update, kind of like the wardrobe and mini pet storage.

Malediktus.9250:

Explaining the situation in a customer support ticket is the best way to go about it so Anet can look specifically at the problem. The ingame report tools are way to vague and most of the time Anet probably doesnt even understand why someone was reported.

I will let her know about this, thank you.

What option would she use? There is no real option for it.

Recently my friend has had her Ex add her to his friends list. She has blocked him but he is still able to see where she is and tries to find her, and keeps trying to join our party to talk to her. She has to stay in offline mode anytime she wants to play because he is on.

Seems to me the concept of a block would mean that the person blocked can in no way interact with you. It should also be taken into account with the way the megaserver puts people together.

Is there a way to prevent this that I am missing?
Thought it would be something ANet would want to take into account.

Me and my friend ran into this problem last night during guild missions. Either a button as the OP stated or show the players ip address when you hover over their name would be nice.

Flitzie.6082:

Well, I gotta agree at some point.
Its a pity the sword is a condi weapon and its even more saddening that that a dual wield sword setup is not the current physical dps meta.

Sword #1:
Get rid of bleed, increase damage.

Sword#2 and 3:
Leave as is.

Sword #4:
Name: 100 Blades (how creative)
Slashes enemy 10 times (1s) x3500damage

Sword #5:
Name: Sonic Blade
Unleash a sonic wave emitting from your swords.
Range: 600, 1200 Damage.

Other than that. I can agree I dont like meta builds, and a game should not allow for meta builds to exist. Sadly PvP and PvE are all about meta game because they are always the same!

WvW still has the greatest build diversity and I am going to say it again, even though i’ll get hated for this, the classes are balances around WvW, imo.

I run a condition warrior so I do not agree with this. S/S are find like they are. Good mobility with enough conditions to make the useful.

Almost every unique and special Item that has come out for Guild Wars 2 has been a gem store item. I know ArenaNet wants to make money but at the same time they need to think of the part of the population that cant effort to use real money(some people have no job, alot of payments, family to take care of) to buy gems. Yes I know you can trade Gold for Gems but if you are like me you do not make near enough gold to warrant trading it in for gems.

It would just be nice to see ArenaNet put some of time into adding new in-game vendor items. You walk around any city and you will find several merchants selling the exact same thing, why not add some new unique items to the game.

I really like the idea, but why does it have to be gems to buy it.

I would really like to start seeing ANet all more unique and special items like this in game that can be bought with gold.

Everything they come out with now is just a money sink.

I have liked my warrior a bit more since the update. I play WvW as a havoc condition warrior. While yes the nurf to adrenalin is bad it also forces you to play a bit quicker and smarter. It makes you use your burst skills wiser instead of just throwing them around.

There are many days when its hard enough to get people to scout, much less try and keep bloodlust capped on 3 maps.

I believe it all comes down to rewards. Most people are not going to give up a chance to get rewards(wxp, chest, karma) for guaranteed nothing. That is why so many people are flockign to EoTM, bags drop like candy there instead of having to work for them. At the least there needs to be wxp rewarded for capping/defended the ruins.

Was this during the tournament or after? I have seen alot less Ruin capping since it ended. To me bloodlust is not important during off season play. I could be out with my guild capping something that will actually reward me.

If they can add some form of reward (something worthwhile) to capping bloodlust, and actually make it an objective that the servers will fight over, I think it would be worth it.

I think that’s what ANet was going for when they added it. Having big fights over bloodlust, but it did not turn out that way.

There needs to be diminishing return. The first disabler applies the full time. Everyone after that gets its effective time cut in half. So lets say the first one is 2mins, the next one will be 1min, then 30sec, then 15sec.

Same should apply to player cc skills but that is for another topic.

Have you tried this on a T1 server with 2 people? I have and I get met with 5-10 players from the other team back capping us the whole time. When they catch up they just roll right over us.

I liked that it was only 4 rounds, but I hated the fact that I could finish my achievements within the first 10 minutes of playing. That is not an achievement that’s a handout for the PvE community.

I felt sorry for the lower tier servers that got matched up with our t1 server.

The thing about lowering the map population cap is that there are big guilds that will go into WvW. If the server population is to low they will just lock down the whole map and no one else can get in.

Or the map gets full of randoms and servers can not get their commanders in to lead. You have to make the cap big enough to allow guilds, randoms, scouts and commandors to be able to join in.

Pros for mounts:
1. New way of exploring
2. Would allow ANet to make larger WvW maps, without having to worry about the travel time across it.
3. New mechanics for WvW. Dolyak mounts for transferring supplies to keeps and towers that need to be upgraded.

Cons for mounts:
1. Most likely will cost gems.
2. In WvW you could out run or be out run while trying to fight.

Rules for mounts:
1. When put into combat you dismount.
2. You can not randomly summon your mount from thin air. Waypoints would act as a mounting area. If you dismount or get put into combat, you have to run to a wp to get another.
3. Mounts run off an energy bar. There is no constant speed for your mount. when mounted there would be a skill bar with different speeds. (trot, gallop, sprint). trot would cost no energy, gallop would slowly drain your energy and sprint would drain faster. Once energy is depleted you return to trot.
4. Mounts can be equip with small extra bags for things such as extra armor sets, boosters, siege, tonics.

On a side note. How can there be centaurs if there are no horses? Are they not half horse? What is with all the carts in cities and in the world, yet no animals around to pull them?

Seems like the game needs more traveling animals in general.

Meadfreek.6789:

It’s been, what, about 5 months since Scarlet destroyed Lions Arch. In that time you’ve built a few coffee tables and platforms in LA and moved in some NPCs. Are you going to leave it trashed and ugly or do something, gradually, to restore it to a city that looks like a…no, the main city of a world should look like?

If Halloween or Wintersday happens with LA looking like it currently looks that’s gonna be ridiculous (“NPCs” putting up holiday decorations but can’t be bothered with cleaning up rubble or fixing any buildings). Plus it currently looks like crap.

It would take alot longer then 5 months to rebuild a whole city. It would have been nice, if in each episode they also added some parts of LA rebuilt. This way you can actually see the progression of it being rebuilt, instead of just one day they have it all built back.

Agreed. I was really impressed to see this event. I always have fun using illusionary leap to knock the inquest down then throwing the crystal to our side of the field.

Tickleman.1069:

The tiger has also seen the Eternal Alchemy.

(Unfortunately, most of the kitties are too small to be seen in the second shot.)

So this is what the tiger from Life of Pi has been up to.

DaMunky.6302:

Silky sand is supposed to be annoying and largely useless, guys. It’s a flavor item. When you’re in Dry Top, everywhere you go and everything you do causes sand to get into your bags, and every so often you have to stop and clean the sand out.

It’s a little bit annoying, but it’s totally appropriate to something you would have to do while running around in a desert tundra, and very infrequently you find something good in the sand as a bonus.

That makes complete sense. I never thought about that.

Is there a point to this that I am missing? I get a stack and all I get from it is 4 Geodes. Seems kind of pointless to me.

Has anyone gotten anything better out of them?

That would be stupid, seeing as you don’t have to make the other trinkets.

Will ascended Assassins Trinkets be introduced into the game at some point? We already have Soro’s ascended weapons which are assassin stats, and Saphir’s ascended armor. It would only make sense to add the trinkets.

Now that the Wizard Hat is a part of the wardrobe and you can wear it as armor, it would be nice if we could change the color of it. That purple color does not go with everything and the hat is very unique to the game, would be nice to match it with my armor.

I will throw my two cents in.

A trap that when activated will count the number of enemy players that pass through it. The trap could last for a few seconds, long enough to count a fast moving zerg.
The information that the trap receives would show up on the owners chat window in a unique colored text. It would also ping the map where your trap is located.
When a group triggers the trap it would make a faint glow on the ground.

Thank you Mark for being patient with the community, It can not be easy having to read everyone’s negative comments everyday.

Give the team that worked on fixing this problem a big THANK YOU for solving it.

Thanks for the extra tickets also.

The ability to place supplies into towers and keeps. You can run supplies from depots and place it into the keeps to help build or restock.

Just be glad you have your tickets and you know that eventually you will be able to use them. Alot of us do not even have the tickets we deserve and can only hope we get them.

Michael Henninger.7451:

I’ve spoken to the WvW team and they are still investigating. I don’t have any concrete information to pass on but one of the teams (WvW or Support) will let you know when we have something to post.

For those submitting tickets hang tight. We don’t have any news yet but will certainly update you as soon as we can.

Thanks for looking into it. While there is no concrete information, atleast we know they are still working, and have not forgotten us.

Chief.4231:

Wow, surely support will fix that for you though?

How would we know? No one from Anet is talking to us. We are in the dark.

Go to http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=684&game=Guild%20Wars%202 and put in your computer specs and the game. I will tell you if you can run it, and what you need to improve to run it.

bob.8632:

GL getting rewards people, many of us are still waiting on S1 rewards……

Really? At this point the should just manually give people missing their S1 rewards.

If this happens for S2, I am going to be raising hell to their customer support.

Its Sunday and it would be nice if we got an update on this situation. Even if its just “we are still working on it.” Something to let us know that we are not forgotten.

The Pied Piper.9827:

Why should we get some sort of compensation?

Because it’s the SECOND time the EXACT same problem happens, and all ArenaNet has to say is “don’t bother Customer Support with it”.

Why bother Customer Support when they are aware of the problem and are working on it. We didn’t get our chest when we were suppose to, not big deal, we can not even use the tickets until Tuesday.

mcgriddles.2416:

So are the players who didn’t receive their rewards on time going to receive some sort of compensation or something? I have a feeling I already know the answer to this question but I figured I’d ask anyway :/

Why should we get some sort of compensation? Every time something goes wrong, someone always ask for compensation. Problems come up and they are fixing it. They can’t hand out compensations every time someone is unhappy.

I am having the same problem, all I want is my chest.

I am from TC, All of my guildmates have gotten their chest and it says 2nd place for them.

Mine says 4th place and that my chest is already unlocked yet I have not gotten it. I did not transfer.

My warrior with a mix of gear.

Everyone goes to WvW and takes supplies, then they have to take the Asura gate back to LA and build.

jk

Dont take supplies from the keep!

Will we still get a refund if we bought our gems with gold instead of real money? What section does the ticket go under?

Congrats to IoJ on their win. I am glad that this event is not just bringing individual server together but bringing all of the server together to help each other. Glad I was able to be there.

Keep on fighting.

Missing for me also

I got on today and was asked to show my watchknight to one of my friends. When I went to my bank it was no longer there. I had it yesterday. At the time that was the only miniature that I owned.

Has anyone else had this problem or can anet help me out.

Thanks,
Sollandor
