Guild Wars 2

I’d like to see a Spellsword or Battlemage type class for Elementalist. Either one hand or two hand sword would be cool.

For Warrior i’d like to see a polearm type class, where they make use of a melee staff. Weapon skins can then be used to make the staff look like a spear or halberd or some other polearm. Maybe they could use a shield at the same time.

They do this, yet leave all the other lame animations and visual effects as they are and have been since day one.

It took them years to acknowledge the hobosack eyesore. I’m guessing this will take years to see a response as well.

Have they altered stances before?

If not i wouldn’t get my hopes up. Afterall, human and sylvari males are still stabbing themselves in the face when they run with swords.

My enemies only date fire wyverns.

I love the name. Thankful it isn’t Scrap Hunter.

Genuine lol

It’s fitting, and a lot better than Dragonhumper.

That lightning strike is out of place.

Come launch, we’ll probably be waiting another 3 years for them to address the problems with HoT whilst they add more trash to the gem store.

Actually, it might be longer than 3 years. Perhaps forever, as they’ve never been in a rush to fix problems that have festered since the game launched.

The best thing Druid can do for the Ranger is do away with the pet altogether.

???US/EU Gold?Tons of Stock?Instant Delivery?Premium Pro-Seller???

etc…

The B2P restriction helped shield this game against the common MMO mouthbreather who turns pleasant communities toxic.

Whilst an influx of new players sounds good from a business sense, in the long run it could introduce destructive elements that bring the whole game much sooner than it should be put to rest.

Alternate animations in the gem store would fly off the shelves.

It would also be nice to have something that’s actually worth buying, rather than useless miniatures and dodo wings.

Better than Dragonhunter, for sure.

But then, Sheephumper would be better than that, too.

Temporary pet names are like Engineer’s hobosack.

They still need to make pet names permanent.

That has gone unfinished since launch.

There is a problem for Ranger where when you swap pets in the pet management window, their names are reset. This problem doesn’t seem to occur when you swap the two equipped pets with the F4 key.

I’m not sure how long this problem has persisted for, as i’m new to the Ranger class and have only recently acquired a handful of pets to swap around.

Probably something to do with their crappy e-sports.

I knew it would be something disappointing like torch.

Makes me wonder what kind of lame horse filth they have in store for thief.

It would appear that this thread is about as much use as the hobosack one.

At least in 3 years time they’ll finally change this stupid name.

It’ll be another painfully disappointing tournament announcement.

“Tempest warhorn needs…”

…to be replaced with sword.

That was painful.

They should start adding stuff to the gem store that isn’t complete trash, like alternate animations.

Laugh, out, loud

I speculate that it will be the most disappointing of the elite specs.

Would be awesome if it was hand-to-hand combat, but that would count as a new weapon most likely.

Diovid.9506:

Greedy for making a high quality buy once, play forever game with free updates and a payed expansion? Got it.

Greedy for charging for something we’ve already paid for.

dsslive.8473:

Ye hell, why even pay for internet, they should jsut give it to us for free!! /s

Every prodecut costs money to produce, get over it

You’re hysterical.

Nobody is expecting a handout.

Easily the lamest move Anet has made to date.

We should be able to just download the expansion, but no they have to be greedy.

They should make a more suitable stance for melee staff, but they won’t.

starlinvf.1358:

They could surprise us, and have us go Dual shields, or barehanded.

Martial arts spec would be awesome.

It’s definitely gonna rival Mesmer and Elementalist in terms of disappointment.

That’s very disappointing.

Heart Of Fails just took another big hit.

Perhaps they’ll have spear skins, as a way to give us land spears without having to go the trouble of implementing land spears.

penelopehannibal.8947:

It says part way through “and the revenant will be the first profession to use the staff as a melee weapon in Guild Wars 2.”

Please. Please. Please tell me there will be another profession that uses Melee staff! Preferably one that isn’t heavy armour class. Wink wink!

I certainly hope that’s the case.

fiouch.2189:

I’ve recorded it in slow motion, check it out if you want: https://youtu.be/syGaP-FU1cg

That’s so awesome!

Now we just need a mod to play the game in slow motion.

Yeah, the chain sword sucks. Outfits that can’t be mixed and matched also suck.

I’m not surprised that people will buy these anyway. Probably the same people who bought those dodo wings for their characters.

I was hoping that along with Engineers finally being relieved of their hobosacks, the Guardian’s eyesore would also be taken care of.

Signet Of Courage sounds good.

It’s a terrible, unfitting name.

I just hope the spec is better than the name, but won’t get my hopes up. Tis’ Anet.

Hello,

Will you need to use the new weapon in order to use the new specialization?

E.G. When a Ranger becomes a Druid, will they pay a price for not using a staff?

Thanks

This is fantastic news. Still ridiculous that it took years for them to change this, while designing and selling turds through the gem store.

Sold Out.7625:

So we get rid of hobosacks, buuuuut…

https://dviw3bl0enbyw.cloudfront.net/uploads/forum_attachment/file/189272/Przechwytywanie_1.JPG We get this atrocity. We can hold fizzy toilet barrels at our crotch height now.

https://dviw3bl0enbyw.cloudfront.net/uploads/forum_attachment/file/189273/Przechwytywanie_2.JPG And we get extremely suggestive balls on a string!

Even though the current grenade kit animations already -have- a space where a grenade could be put. You know, a single one, not fifteen of them. Your character would actually even chuck it up and catch it in his / her hand. But instead we get a whole strand of garlic balls.

Yay?

It appears we only won a battle, not the war.

Now, we ride north.

I don’t expect them to rework any of the terrible weapon skills.

Have another miniature instead.

The game is lagging so much it’s almost unplayable at the moment.

Strange that it was ok earlier today.

It does sound stupid.

This is one of the fastest leveling MMOs i’ve played.

Try using exp boosting foot items if you aren’t doing so already.

They’d need to give out millions of refunds, as we never purchased a subscription MMO.

If we wanted to pay a fixed monthly rate for a game that we can only play for a few hours a day(assuming we’re not too busy or tired from working) then we would’ve subscribed to WoW.

If profit is an issue, then they should add more meaningful things to the gem store like animations, as opposed to trash like miniatures and wings that don’t work.

I don’t buy anything, as useless wings and clown costumes don’t interest me.

Alternate animations would sell like hotcakes, though. Definitely something that would cause my wallet to go full steam sale.

Its a trade off for us since human females practically drag their greatswords along the ground because they are so very heavy,

You mean human females carrying the two-handed sword by their side like light-footed, mobile kitten ninjas instead of Conan the Barbarian?

Isn’t that the same for Norn characters?

Tskales.2804:

There’s that heart mission in queensdale that rewards with a choice of 3 dyes, but after you’ve done that heart mission 3 times they just get binned.

This is the reward you get when you reach a certain level now. I’m not sure what level it is, but it’s under 10.

Ah. My mistake.

Thanks for letting me know.

There’s that heart mission in queensdale that rewards with a choice of 3 dyes, but after you’ve done that heart mission 3 times they just get binned.

The reward should be a random dye.

Melee staff will be a dream.
