Guild Wars 2

Yes, so many of the staff animations were taken directly from hammer animations. Carrying around this thin staff like it’s a heavy hammer makes the daredevil seem frail.

OP, I think one of the problems is that you’re viewing a downed player as “defeated” and being upset that the defeat is being taken away from you if they get up. A player isn’t dead until they’re dead, if all you do is get them to downed then you haven’t won yet. That’s like taking a thief down to 50% HP and then getting upset that they were able to use their utilities to escape the fight. Downed is part of the game and you need to plan for it if you expect to win in a tough fight.

I stayed on my server specifically because it had a low population. I like being able to play PvE in a zone without a bunch of random people dragging mobs on me. Tonight at 2am I went to dredgehaunt to see how bad it is and only lasted about 15 minutes before I was too annoyed to play anymore.

Since I’m sure we’re stuck with megaservers whether we want them or not is there anyway to change the mob behavior so that they will not aggro on innocent bystanders after being dragged away from their spawn?

Yesterday’s patch introduced an odd bug where sometimes the “spirit” bird on the ranger’s greatsword 3 attack stays permanently after you use the attack. This also seems to happen with the spear 3 and the “spirit” shark that shows up during the attack. It’s not just the visual, the audio also sticks around. The odd thing is that it doesn’t happen on my screen, just on other people’s screens, so it’s hard to tell when it’s happened. The only way I’ve found to fix it is to do a quick relog when the sound of the bird’s wings starts driving my friend crazy.

That being said, a question: if you transferred to a tier-15 server from a tier-4 server in hopes of building a WvW culture from the ground up? Why didn’t you, instead, transfer to a tier 1 or tier 2 server where such a culture already existed? What was the appeal of being a big fish in a small pond?

I think the main issue is that the T1 & T2 servers were already full (or mostly full) and that a large part of that population was PvE rather than WvW, so if you transfer to a small server it can be filled mostly with WvW players more easily. This is just a guess though, I’ve been on Kaineng since day 1 and my guild only has 2 people in it, so I could be completely wrong.

It guaranteed them a steady stream of opponents who could do nothing but feed them free XP and free loot bags, while costing those opponents more in armor repairs

The way our opponents talk Kaineng is handing out free XP and loot bags because apparently our PUGs are soap-eating morons that can barely dress themselves, so I don’t see why they’re complaining.

I’d like an option on my map to hide commander icons. Every time I go to Lion’s Arch there’s 8 or 9 commanders hanging around and it clutters up my map making it hard when I’m trying to do map completion or find something specific.

I’m also running into this.

I was curious what other people’s thoughts on this would be. For me I would like it to be a unique thing for each specialization that made sense. For example, the Druid specialization could be unlocked by visiting an NPC in the jungle that’s researching the old Maguuma druids and going on a series of personal story-like missions where by the end you discover some secrets that let you use the druid’s power.

My fear is that specializations will just be unlocked via the mastery system. It would be disappointing to get it by spending a point you got from map completion and then joining the zerg that’ll probably be running events in Verdant Brink nonstop. I think I just don’t like the disconnect between the thing you want unlocked and the activity performed to do the unlocking.

So how would you like specializations to be unlocked?

Figured this would happen. A bigkittento the WvW folks. Hairy Hank and his mamby pamby PvE can just hop into the WvW and be on the same level as those of us who have been WvWing for months.

Actually the PvE folks will be ahead of the WvWers, cause the best gear (ascended) only drops in PvE. Having to PvE to gear up to WvW was a huge fail in Rift. Kind of surprised to see Anet treading the same shameful path.

Honestly, if I had to choose between a PvEer with the best gear the game has to offer or an experienced WvWer in nothing but masterwork gear I’d go with the WvWer every time. Experience is almost always better than your equipment in this game, especially in WvW.

So tonight in EB I saw some fellow Kaineng players claim that a lot of our WvW population quit because they were tired of TC and FA teaming up against us. My palm hit my face so hard I think I hurt my neck…

Eh, the way I see it, the price of the xpac is about the same as 4 months in a game with a subscription fee, so if I get at least 4 months of enjoyment then I’ve gotten my money’s worth. Considering the core game gave me 3 years of enjoyment I think HoT will probably be worth it.

Psssst, we already have a thread going.
