Guild Wars 2

2 cents of mine
They looks nice, definitely something new with having moving armor.
Would be nice not to have yet another medium trenchcoat but meh
All three of them make me think of the HoT expansion with the spikes and whatnot.
Ill probably take parts of them and mix them in with my other armor, skinning the actual legendaries in a way that makes my mains look the way i see fit.
You cant please the workd with just 1 set of armor for each class. I dont think that was the point here, making something that appeals to everyone may end up appealing to no one.
ciao

The salad dragon has been chopped, we ate our greens.
Can we pppplease have a Dragon Bash this July T_T.
I miss hunting dragon coffers full of taffy and weapon tickets, plus dragon ball >.>

Tearful begging is over.

Looks like one of the Auth servers are unreachable.
I just got in, not sure if this is what did it but:
Run GW2.exe from a command line and use -authserv [52.58.184.22:80]
(ip i used, looks like one of gw2’s auth servers)

May work for some of the more tech inclined
Cheers !

Looks like i am in the same boat T_T
Such sadness…

So I know its part of the outfit but I gotta ask. Is there any way the new mask that Braham has could be releast as an armor skin ? Would look incredible on several chars of mine.

Seriously that mask would be my new fav headpiece ! ??

Been playing since first Halloween.
NA player, I play after 4PM CT.
This is my primary game to play.
Looking for guild that uses guild roster to find others to play with.
Most of my friends have stopped playing. :/
Slightly quiet but very friendly. : )
Competitive, but not brash.
Contact me in game, main character name is Vincent Durheim.

panzer.6034:

we’re about due for a summer festival

Overdue..

I think the festivals have to be my favorite part of this game. I know its probably odd because they don’t always have alot of content, but its something new and gives me a break from grinding/dungeons.

I think the title explains it all..
Its been 2 years with no Kralkachocolate Bars T_T

Just curious.

Has anyone who was invited to the stress test received the portal drop in Silverwaste or Drytop ?

All of my friends who received the portal did not do stress test… all of my friends that did stress test have yet to get a portal…

Its about time they introduced anti zerg mechanics to WvW. I left because it became a complete joke, running around mindlessly in a zerg is NOT intelligent play…. like Anet mentioned, people just shut off all thought processing in a zerg, its why a necro gets 50+ loot bags in EotM from a fear wall, cant wait to see how many zergs get trashed on day 1 !!!

25
Work in Telecom
Got my associates and then bailed on the rest college, felt like a waste of money
Self taught IT, Networking, and programming in Java and C#
I love to sleep…. alot… about 10 hours a day, sometimes 12 on weekends..
I grew up in the realm of video games, owned every console except the most recent ones.
I still play Legend of Zelda OOT and MM, and dark cloud (emulated on my pc)
I built the PC im writing this on now…
Im a glorified nerd, I love technology and video games almost as much as I like sleep…
I can talk technology all day, but not to strangers, ill end up sounding like a potato….
I find TV boring, yet I LOVE movies and going to the movie theater.
Monstercat is my jam
coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee
I play GW2, Minecraft, Elite Dangerous, and Skyrim (currently).
I grew up watching Pokemon and Digimon, the games were way more fun…
I love animals, my cat is currently asleep by my monitor.
I have ADHD and I not only except it, I think its a gift
The only thing i love more then sleep is Ice Cream… preferably Andes Mint Ice Cream…
Im leaving to go buy some ice cream….. Ciao

This is what I use, its fun for when i want something different.

PROS:
Using the elite skill with the runes is pretty much a guaranteed hit with Basilisk Venom
Your primary heal becomes the elite skill, with your normal heal skill being your second one.
I haven’t had a real issue with running out of int..
3 extra dodges
Dodge also grants might

CONS:
You have no stealth
You have no stealth
You have no stealth

Edit: added additional pros, will add more as/if this thread progesses

Smooth Penguin.5294:

To be honest, if you’re commanding a WvW zerg without using Voice Comms, you might be playing on the wrong server. This is because you’ll always be at a disadvantage against coordinated zergs.

recently several servers have finally started to split there zerg among 4 commanders in each map…

reasons why are as follows:

4 mini zergs can cap and reclaim much faster then a massive zerg

if the zerg takes out 1 of 4 mini zergs there are still 3 left.

map chat is for anyone who cant use voice chat/doesnt want to, and should still be an effective means of communication, when your impacting your player base more then your actually preventing spam in a map… you solving a problem by creating a new one.

Electro.4173:

I agree the chat suppression can be a little overzealous at times, but varying your messages can help a lot, as its one of the primary ways the chat filter finds and removes “spam”.

Not just adding a random word or number at the end either, try to use different words altogether, put your words in a different order, that sort of thing.

im linking a different WP and event every time, however the map posts are a little large, anyone have an effective way of bypassing map suppression, or at least keeping it to a minimum ? this has gotten rediculous.

On another not how often do you see spam in Silverwaste or DryTop ? Isnt that mostly kept to Cultural Cities and Lions Arch ?

Smooth Penguin.5294:

It’s to prevent chat spam abuse. I would recommend taking your commands over to Voice Chat apps like Ventrilo, Team Speak, or Mumble.

i understand preventing spam abuse, but they have the suppression filter set entirely too high, so much so that players coordinating events with players they are nor familiar with becomes an even more difficult task then it already is.

Ventrilo, Team Speak, and Mumble either have room for a handful of people (not enough or a map) or cost additional money to use, i didn’t buy a game to spend more money on a separate program because the original game lacks effective means of communication.

Drytop – posting WP/event locations

Silverwaste – getting numbers from other players for lanes and keeps

You cant even lead a group in a map, or maintain a conversation in map chat EVEN IF ITS REGARDING WHAT TO DO ON THE MAP…

You have effectively impacted your players attempts to lead a map to victory.

ere are the two specific maps you have impacted and why

Silverwaste – no talking in map chat with other group in different locations
Drytop – no coordinating event management

These are your newest maps…. how are we supposed to have an effective means of coordinating among one another when i cant even effectively use map chat ?

P.S. don’t tell me commander tag, that is the most lame attempt to provide a tool for cooperation, most players have not been taught what /squad is or what individual map tags are for, and it doesn’t excuse the fact that YOU WOULD STILL HAVE TO COMMUNICATE IN MAP CHAT WHEN TALKING ACROSS SQUADS !!!

Only following a tag is not cooperation – its being a stupid sheep.

Also to provide some explaination on the above, i suggest only 1 divine envelope for 1st place because of the size/potential of the reward.

currently 1G+ to sell
opening them gives 88 silver so little risk in openeing
chance to return a 9G profit if you have good RNG
change to return another 1G profit if you get the rice ball.

Suggestion:

Reward top three players with the highest score in Dragon ball.

1st place – 1 divine envelope
2nd place – 5 little lucky envelopes
3rd place – 3 little lucky envelopes

The above would be incentive for players to keep playing Dragonball after getting all daily rewards and would help keep players playing dragonball. It really sucks when you jump in to play and there is NOBODY JOINING GAMES…. i did a 1v1 and a 2v2 last night from start to finish lol… I didn’t expect that to happen.

Im hesitant to suggest rewards for players that fall below 3rd as rewards for simply joining promote AFKing in dragonball. If rewards had to be given for participation i would suggest 1 little lucky envelope.

Thoughts ?

Making 2 suggestions from what i would personally want.

1. Account voting system:
-Pros-
Each person would be able to cast a single vote on items developers want specific feedback on.
Easier user input, no need to check forums to cast your opinion on something that could be a yes/no or multiple choice question.
Each vote would be account bound and on accounts in good standing, trial accounts would be excluded to prevent bot voting.

-Cons-
Users who are away form the game mightmiss the chance to cast a vote on what they would like to see.
No ability to backup reasons for why one choice being voted on would be superior to another. (This is were the forums become more viable)

2. Forum integration: Integrating the forums to be accessible from in-game, such as a board in lions arch/cultural cities or the trading post.

-Pros-
More easily accessible by the community, no need to alt-tab to another screen or have multiple screens.
Easy access means community members are more likely to submit/respond to forums, particularly on items that developers and other players want to hear about.
Expands forum community
Players could be notified in-game when a forum post they made has a reply
Players could be notified in-game when a forum post they want to follow has activity

-Cons-
More AFK looking players in cities.
Server resources being devoted to players who are in game but not playing/posting on forums instead.

The above is just what i could think of, if you come up with other pros/con for each please post feedback and so on.

still looking for same

looks like best bet so far is relog and try again.. doesnt seem to be a constant kind of issue

Chalky.8540:

Yeah, also getting this playing solo. Audio seems to keep playing but it’s a completely black screen and quitting the game seems to be the only way to get out of it. Just after you encounter the thrasher near the beginning of the instance.

this is also were we had the issue, not sure what happened, went in with the exact same party, same party owner a second time. just completed it now !

anyone else have success on the second playthrough ?

Our instance owner of the second story event is getting blackscreened and dropped out.

Anyone else having the same problem ?

With the next patch coming out in the next couple of hours I couldn’t help but wonder if were getting yet another currency.

Out of curiosity, was there a particular reason for introducing bandit crests as opposed to just using geodes again and expanding the items that could be bought with them ?

I imagine it would have helped keep dry top more populated as well.

Just my thoughts

Heyo,

We are a NA guild designed to help sellers secure there paths for sale, and give buyers a safe, reliable place to look for a dungeon seller. We are looking for buyers/sellers of any dungeons and any paths.

Hit us up in game if interested!!

Was playing around with my thief earlier when i noticed my pistol range changes in/out of combat…

Vital shot when in combat = 900 range
Vital shot when out of combat = 1050 range
Sneak attack when in combat = 1050 range
Sneak attack when out of combat = 900 range…

Just a little wonky…..

Doing a quick check-back on this thread.
was away for a day or two in game.

looks like Solo Academy [SA] will start to be the guild for NA guild sellers if anyone has interest.

also i got a few emails from 1-2 EU guilds as well.

PM me if you want to join either, I will be sure to refer you over to them.

so far it seems my idea for keeping dungeon selling safe has proven helpful

So i already have the Avian 3 Pack, yet i am allowed to buy it again for myself….

Aren’t pets account bound now? why would I buy another one for me ???? 0_0

I guess what i am saying is shouldn’t they be a one time purchase on the gem store like perm finishers ?

Checking back in on this thread.
Here is our method:
1. Guild buddy posts lfg advertising sellers path
2. Gold is sent to guild buddy and names are referred to the seller via guild chat
3. The seller adds buyers to party as they are referred over guild chat
4. Complete dungeon run
5. Gold is sent to seller after path ends
6. Buyer can be added to guild under a specific rank if they want to buy paths often
Optional: send the guild buddy some gold for helping.

This way names can be referenced in guild chat and/or by person advertising and risk of losing your path is minimized.

PM me in game, a few friends of mine are already doing this, and have a guild for it as well.
We can always use a few more people

Flash.6912:

I thought Dragonbash was on July last year.

Per Wiki, was released June 11th

Since Dragon Bash is only a month or so away (released on June 11th Last year), here are suggestions/ideas for the next coming Dragon Bash:

1. Dragon Ball:
Problem: Last year players joined in just to get the achievements, effective crippling game play for those that wanted to play for fun and/or competition
Suggestion: Take achievements out of dragon ball, or create achievements geared towards active and/or competitive play.

2. Dragon Holograms:
Problem: last year players had to compete for Dragon Holograms across multiple maps, one of the problems I kept reading about was “players don’t wait for other players to arrive” with the implementation of Megaserver this is likely to compound the problem of getting to a Dragon Hologram before it gets popped by someone else
Suggestion: Increase the spawn rate of Holograms and/or require a player to attack/destroy the holograms for the mobs to pop so it gives players more time to reach the target (similar to what was done with the energy probes during Scarlet Events).

3. Rich Dragon Coffers:
Problem: Last year they were only obtainable through the gem store, to compound the problem it was the only way to get a “Dragon’s Revelry Starcake”
Recipe. If i remember correctly several players were a little upset..
Suggestion: Allow basic dragon coffers to be traded for Rich dragon coffers, similarly to how trick or treat bags were traded during Halloween ! you can also sell them on the TP for those who with to be lazy about coffer farming.

Personal Suggestion/Request: Please add more food recipes for dragon bash this year or something to make use of all the Zhaitaffy, the starcakes were nice, but how about something like an Ice Cream ? mmmm Dragon Ball Ice Cream !!!!!
(makes me think of Mochi Ice Cream)

Personal Note: This was posted this early because I want to know others opinion, or ways to make Dragon Bash a better event !

Wasnt able to find a previous post on this.

I noticed there are several exotic weapons that can be crafted that require legendary gifts (Gift of Ice can be used to craft Wintersbark, Gift of Light can make Foefire’s Power), while other gifts are strictly for the legendary weapons that require them (Gift of Color, Gift of Darkness, Gift of Stealth).

So here is my question in regards to the above, what types of exotic weapons (aka NOT legendary) do you want to see that would require these legendary gifts ?

Personally i would love a Stealth dagger, a lightning trident, or even an old weapon from GW1 that requires Gift of history.

Current Legendary Gifts in existence:
Gift of Metal
Gift of Wood
Gift of Ice
Gift of Lightning
Gift of Water
Gift of Energy
Gift of Nature
Gift of History
Gift of Music
Gift of Darkness
Gift of Light
Gift of Entertainment
Gift of Stealth
Gift of Color
probably several more but these are what i could find.

This sounds like an exciting (and very much needed) feature. I cant wait to see what options are available in the beginning, hopefully something that will help players looking for more then just dungeons (such as guild missions, player made events, and so on), although i do see that being the primary use.

I will also remain hopeful that I can post in this LFG tool without having to actively monitor it…. (aka having to delete a post after finding a group, or telling others “sorry, group full, I was just in too much of a hurry to delete the post hehehe….”)

Also adding my voice to this post. Cantha in gw1 was what brought my attention to this game in the first place, it was also why i bought GW2, i wanted to see what had changed, what it would look like in the future, the forest, the massive city… the jade sea..
Please bring Cantha to GW2, doesn’t have to be now, but soon.
