Guild Wars 2

Lord Faren should become a hermit and hold a seed pod called Wilson.

I would love to see the following adventures:

1: Have adventures with one of the 3 factions. (Order of whispers should be a stealth mission. Priory about Lore and Vigil about warfare)
2: Find the bounty: Have a certain ammount of time to find somebody and kill it.
3: Help with rebuilding an outpost/ship/town and actually see the difference when you are done. (Gather materials)
4: Kite adventures: Fly through 10 checkpoints.
5: Whack-a-Mordrem: A huge hammer and some Mordrem to bash in
6: Maguuma explorer: Get a scanner and find rare plants/species. (once scanned you will get lore info)

When I saw the video I wondered if those were new/other Sylvari’s than we know of. None of the corrupted Sylvari’s so far had red eyes?

I can bring some Dutch Stroopwafels, if anybody wants?

I almost never write on the forum, (Love reading it) but I would like to thank you guys @ ArenaNet for the whole season, the finale with its amazing cutscenes. It makes me proud to be playing this game from Beta and to be a part of the community! Thank you guys!

Namaste

‘However, as FlamingFoxx said, while it makes that both Scarlet and Caithe know about the relationship between Modremoth and the Sylvari, it makes a lot less sense that Scarlet knows that Caithe knows about it’

That is exactly what I would like to see answered.

Another question I would like to see answered is. How did Scarlet knew about the secret?

Glad somebody asked. Been brainstorming about it and played/rewatched the cutscenes but can’t see any trace of Scarlet. Is there something in that area that can be linked to Scarlet. (Seen some stuff laying around).

I just wonder how she knows about the secret.

Hi all,

I have everything but….

1: I need 160 more Silver doubloons (Sad panda face)
2: The precursor.

Right now I have 3 alts doing the LA Jp every day and doing the Mystic Forge recipe for over 2 months. Right now I have 90 Silver doubloons which at this rate will keep me busy for a good 6 months till I have 250.

In a way I am glad to see that a lot of people have a problem with this but what I find more sad about this, is that up till now and in following all the months of people posting about this, I have yet to see any respond from Anet.

So dear Anet, would you mind giving us a reply to this, since it has been brought to your attention for months now. We would really love a solution.

Thank you.

I really love all the new content that has been pushed out. Some are great and with some I feel it has been a rushed thing. Non the less, it is amazing that Anet gives us all of the content for free. So a big thank you.

For me the definition of a Living world is a world where a lot of things change. Right now all the changes are mostly created extra inside a map/instance.To me that still creates a gap between it being part of “my” living world and the living world that is released. It takes away the dynamics that we all love to see so much and was sort of promised.

The current update in Kessex Hills is exactly what I consider a living world impact although the build up could/should have been longer.It went a little to quickly from chopped trees to a whole map being changed dramatically overnight. The tower itself and the new map could have been more of a climax if it was slowly introduced with more lore. I discovered it through an outside source (reddit) instead of it really being part of “my” world when I log in. Non the less, I feel that this is the direction you guys need to go.

A lot of people of asked for new maps but I would really love to see more things added/taken away on existing maps. There is still so much to tell environment wise/story wise/Lore wise. (Buildings/Construction should have been rebuild by now, for example the Dam in Queensdale) Remember when the Lion statue in LA was destroyed and it was rebuild again for a few weeks. It is these things that make you feel like you are part of a living breathing world to. It doesn’t always have to be new content that turns out to be an achi/zeg hunt (Which I love) but focus on the existing things that we sort of take for granted.

Now that the “old” Kessex Hills is gone people are starting to miss it. How great would it be to have everybody get together and rebuild it after we kicked scarlet ouf of her fake pale tree. You miss that part of the world so much? Do your best to get it back.
—
Another thing I would like to point out is Zhaitan. From the moment you logged in a year ago we have been super busy doing our story line and we learn all about how Zhaitan works and what he does.(And how to stop him) The big Climax is that we have killed him, Yet there is nothing noticeable in “our” world about that. If millions of players have all lived/worked towards the same ending, where is really the reward since it had no impact on the land we walk on months after his defeat? Our world should be free of his minions, People would have been rebuilding it or settlers should have start moving there. If not? Than together with the pact we should have destoyed them all by now. Anyway here is some feedback from me and I hope it adds a little bit to this discussion.

My favorite things so far have been:

1: Bazaar of the Four Winds: I loved the whole enviroment, the lore (Glint) and really liked the jumping puzzle/gathering. Despite being a new map, it felt welcome since it is/was exclusive.
2: Halloween 2012: I loved the hunt and how through that we discovered more lore, Revisted places and overal taught me a lot about the mad king and GW1 lore (which i never played)..and clocktower <3
3: Kessex Hills: It is not over yet, so hard to rate it. But yes changing Kessex Hills completely is actually an impact on “my” Living world. Bravo.
4: F&F/Queen’s Jubilee/Clockwork Chaos: Yes it started of weird/slow, What I like the most about everything so far was the tension building up. Yes I loved the pavilion and love Scarlet.
5: Winters day: Wintersday felt less about achiviements but more about really enjoying the enviroment.
6: Dev live stream: Yes I think some livestreams are super great. I would love to see more from Kristen Perry & design/modeling. Art or lore.
7: Cutthroats Politics: Just awesome!

Least favorite things:

1: Dragon Bash: The festival felt out of place and sort of a rip off/combination of previous events. Still not sure what the point was.
2: Halloween 2013: Halloween this year feels like it is more in the way of scarlet’s story and a quick release. Where is mad kings dungeon or hunt?
I feel like the Tower of madness took away the focus from Halloween.
3: Southsun Cove: I loved the introduction event & revisiting but non the less it is still a place where we can live without since there is really nothing there and feels disconnected.
4: Teq: I understand the revamp but nobody does it anymore since the novility wore off. Have 1 champion spawn anywhere in the world and failing to defeat him has results on “our” world.
5: SAB second release: I really loved the first SAB release. The 2nd was okay but didn’t make an impact like world 1 did. Making things harder is not always better.
6: Lore: I have never played gw1 so most of the lore that I know (gw1&2) comes from outside resources instead of inside the game. Should that not be the other way around?

Since English is not my first language, forgive me for any mistakes.

Vote for Kiel for this and that or vote for Gnash…
Why don’t we vote for Colin so we get both

Have a great weekend everybody

Hi all,

Been playing my guardian from Beta and been playing AH with Hammer & Scepter and shield for a while now. Outside of AH, I love the combo of Hammer & Scepter and shield which I call the double trap & slap method. Basically 2 methods of trapping a boss/enemy to hold him in place while you and the rest dps him down. (Handy for the Dredge Fractal boss)

Since this involves a lot of switching between the Hammer & Scepter and shield what would you all recommend to place on the shield. Should I equip something for weapon swapping or something more steady?

Thank you for your answers in advanced.

Mad Rasputin.7809:

I believe the rings are classified as ‘unique’ which means only one of each type can be equipped at any given time.

A little confusing if you don’t know this in advance, but it is working as intended.

Thank you for explaining something Anet should make more clear inside of GW2.

Nobody in the game (NPC) is explaining the rings, agony or how and why you need to get that above level 10. Maybe a little info from an NPC could be the solution for many people spending 10 pristine relics ( 10 × 10 Daily = 10+ hours) and not being able to use it since they got two of a kind.

Thank you all once again for explaining.

Can this be moved to suggestions?

Hi all,

I just spend 10 pristine relics on a ring that is the same that I have on one hand. I can not wear both of the same rings at the same time. (Bagh Nakh) I can wear one Bagh Nakh with another ring that I have (Snaff’s Gyre).

I do not see nor understand why I can’t wear 2 of the same rings since those states on the rings are available with another name (Vine of the pale tree). Is it not possible because they have the same name? (bug) or am I missing some info regarding rings that the npc’s are not informing us about? Really sucks after doing 10 x Daily 10.

Any idea Anet?

PS. Please stick to topic, before it will go into a “why can’t I break it down/sell those rings thread”

Hi all,

I don’t hate “Twiggy” but I kinda understand why people dislike it. For me he is disappointing and I will try to explain it through my personal story (Asura Guardian)
Basicly you can devide your storyline in 3 sections.

1: Starting out

First you learn that your Krew is very important and you start this game growing a bond with them. Then once you switch to one of the 3 fractions (I picked vigil) you never hear of your Krew again or see them again. (Which is kinda odd since it is “your” Krew and being part of that is super important as an Asura)

2: Mid section:

Then I was/am part of the Vigil and you grow a bond with your Vigil buddy/commander through adventures. Once you do the Claw island story line, you loose that person too.
This is the second time that there is a group you are part of that falls apart while you spend a good 20 levels with them. (This time more understandable/brave)

3: The end

In comes “twiggy” and you go on a journey. What changes here is that instead of him really going on an adventure with you, he kinda stands on the sideline (That is how it feels) So there is not really anything that makes you feel like he is a good part of your personal story plus we already learned that in previous story lines friends will be never heard of or die.

No where in the story line there is ever a moment when “twiggy” feels personal or does anything that makes you like him. He simply is there and simply gives orders.

Then at the end when you fight Zhaitan ( Something you have been working to for 80 levels and suppose to be a huge climax) the 3rd personal buddy in you story line doesn’t even come along/help/stand by your side.

Trahearne does not feel like your Krew/Vigil but feels like a filled in spot since you don’t know him. My big suggestion is, trade Trahearne with someone from your personal storyline that you know/been on adventures with/since level 1.

Let the leader be someone you grow a bond with. Another option is, once you defeated Zhaitan and you are celebrating have all the people in your storyline (Krew, Vigil, DE) stand there to celebrate with you. They all have been part of your path to this big climax.

I just completed it and got the daily reward.

You are not alone. Almost everybody is 50 cogs short to make a third one.
Originally everybody should have only been able to make 2 mini’s.
They send out extra cogs since some people missed those from a reward. (They only got 50)
I am guessing that by accident they mailed almost everybody those 200 extra, which in result gives the majority 200 extra and 50 short for a third one.

Thank you Elthuzar.9478 for pointing it out:

Hi,
I wanted to post this up and give a reference to Lotro, but you beat me to it.
I played Lotro from the Beta and one of the fun things about Lotro was that people started to make bands and actually gave away shows in towns which was pretty awesome to attend.
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQKJuzhmFdw
One more suggestions: Add a volume slider in the option menu, so that people who do not want to listen to music from players can turn it down.

Indeed thank you Anet! Made a video about it too:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dRfH5FKABzo

I got some Snowflakes but so far nothing special from the Giant boxes.

I have been trying this, this morning and I have brought several players to downstate & Killed. Yet I did not get any achievement point for it. Could it be that it is bugged?

I agree with everything you said. I loved Halloween but for the 2 days this is active now, I am having such a blast. Everything is super balanced and I can’t wait for the upcoming days.
Thank you Anet!

Hi all,

I have run this dungeon 10+ times now and only have been able to complete it 2 times.
I have run this with my own guild and several pugs and everybody that I know finds this more than frustrating. For me it is the least fav dungeon to be in, and it comes to a point where people rather stop as soon as they see that we are getting this dungeon.

Non the less I am wondering what you all think is the best method to get both bosses down and which group make up you all think works the best. Really appreciate your answers.

—
P.S I had this dungeon the last 10 times I went into the fractals. Do you all feel that Dredge fractal seems to be picked the most every time you go in?

Hi Arenet,

I have been leveling up an alt, so I have been around all lowbee area’s trying to level up and enjoying the scenery. I noticed that there is a massive increase of female Thiefs which teleport around to farm wood/ore/herbs.

I know you all prefer a more detailed report but here is the little problem. Sometimes I am able to right click on them and report them but mostly they teleport somewhere, farm, go invisible and leave within a split second. So even a right click/report is not working. Imagine going into a detailed bug report + screenshot in those few little seconds. (Reported 37 yesterday)

If you stand still at a WP or anything that can be farmed you will be amazed how many bots are up and running right now (Ehmry bay).

I think you guys have done a very good job with getting rid of the congo line of ranger bots, so how about getting rid of these thiefs? Or do you guys have a solution for a better way of reporting these bots?

What a wonderful well written article and I agree 200%

Mage.6045:

I don’t play Asura (they just don’t strike me that way) but I do think that they are an awesome race. I think Anet worked wonders creating them. Still I don’t feel like playing one.. strange…

But their laughing animation is SO over the top and it fits their personality so well… I mean what other race would you see rofling

You are in Asura denial

Thank you for letting us now CC Eva. I just talked to Zojja gain and she catched a cold without her head gear.

I did notice that there are more npc’s in cut scenes that are missing headgear (female asura).

After the beta’s I really fell in love with the Charr. However I rolled an Asura and I can not imagine going back to any other race. I do have an Charr warrior and tried all the possible combination of classes and races that are possible. Every time I get them up to lvl 10 -15, I start to feel that something is missing and that is being a tiny little Asura in a big world.

It is not only that I find them beyond funny or cute, I just feel that they are faster and since they are so tiny, for me all the big battles take on another dimension of being massive since you are so little.

Asura for the win!

Hi all,

I made a new character( Asura engineer – Bronk – infinity ball – Synergetics).
Zojja is missing her hat gear while being in cut scenes.
Can you please fix it? We can’t let a hero from Destiny’s edge run around like that.

Thank you

Thank you all for answering.

Thank you Mystic! Will check it out.

What is the time frame between GW2 and the ending of Edge of Destiny.
I can’t be that long since the members of Edge of Destiny are still emotionally recovering from it, in the beginning of your storyline?

" The arena was knocked down to make way for something"

That could be a very good solution, although when those events are mentioned it sounds like a good money making business for Lion’s arch since people around Tyria come to visit LA just for that arena.

Then again we already lost the Lion statue and now the observation tower. I just thought I would put it out there and see if anybody had an answer.

I recently learned about Glint after reading the 2nd Lore book.
I kinda wish she was not ….spoiler… but when I looked on the wiki to learn more about her I saw this:

How Glint broke from Kralkatorrik’s control will be told in Guild Wars 2.

Something to look forward too.

Hi all,

I finally finished both Lore books which I liked reading a lot.
I am still trying to catch up with all the guild wars lore and what better way then doing that while I am exploring Tyria.

Here is my simple question.
Edge of Steel (Rytlock, Logan and Caithe) are fighting inside an Arena in Lion’s arch.
I am pretty sure that there is not a huge arena inside LA (outside the little pet fighting one) So where is that arena located in LA?

Thanks,

I had the sound bug yesterday for the first time during the final event.
(been playing since beta)
The sound lasted for about 3 minutes and then it was followed up by a crash.

Would it help Anet if we post our pc build?

This is a very good idea +1

Canach works now on Emry Bay. Only Problem is, that without Noll he is not giving anything. So I understand this is fixed and thank you for that, but a lot of people can’t go any further without Noll being fixed first.

Could you look into this as soon as possible. Not only does it seems to get out of hand in general chat but how do you think all the new players will experience GW2 being broken.

Come on Anet you guys can do it! Just use the force.

Everything is still broken on Emry Bay (outside of Noll which you clearly mentioned)

O Lion’s arch..how i love you and your new updates (Sneak peak hint)

Look at this twitter post from Anet’s Peter fries:

Hi all,

I thought some jokes were pretty funny but i haven’t seen them all.
Let’s post them here!

—
Mad king: Sylvari are certainly naïve. They’ll be-leaf everything you say.

Mad King: Why can’t you borrow money from a dwarf? Because they’re always a little short.

Mad King: What is the difference between a Norn and an Asura: 6 feet tall.

Mad King: What is a Norn’s favorite drink? The next one! They’re all drunk

Mad king: I hear the mortality for the Hylek is very high. They croak every night!

Mad King: What do you call a Sylvari that is round and green? Melon-y

Mad king: Recently one of my vassals said to me: “Your majesty, I can’t feel my legs” And i replied: Of course you can’t stubby, i cut of your arms! and i had.

What a good positive idea to give constructed feedback.

Scavenger Hunt:

I had tons of fun on my lvl 80 going back to places I haven’t been to in a while.
It was great to discover that on each location there were several secret ways of getting more bags. Sadly it was discovered quickly that you could exploit it (thank you Kittens).

Part 2 was a little heaver on a lower lvl alt, but thanks to a lot of helpful people, I was able to get the 2nd book for my alt. Great job and I loved deciphering the hints!

Suggestion: Make it a little bit more accessible for a lower level alt.

Haunted Doors:

It was fun to run into a door and get some enemies or a TOT bag.
The fact that sometimes one was bugged, didn’t bug me at all. Stuff like that happens in a game and i felt that Anet quickly resolved those issues.

Suggestion: Play a little bit more with the trick part of a door. I loved the fake door at LA that drops you high out of the sky. Remember that the Mad King is truly mad.

Labyrinth:

I had great fun with tons of people and what i loved to most is how "unknown"people get organised, help each other out. I still find it pretty unique that people are so much more social in GW2.

Suggestion: None

Lunatic Inquisition & Reaper’s Rumble:

I am not big on pvp to be honest. I haven’t played them both much but from what I have seen they looked great.

Suggestion: I felt that the two instances above could use a little but more explanation. Maybe a cinematic could have helped it making it more clear.

Clocktower:

I absolutely love the Clocktower. I finished it on an Asura, Charr, Norn and Human. I would love to see more puzzles like this and I went back several times just for the hell of it. Do not change a thing about it.

Suggestion: More, more, more and make them harder

Mad King Cinematic Event:

Everything i have seen so far has been really well done. I do have one little thing. In the beginning of act 4, I did not see the MK coming out of the well and talk. All I saw was it exploding and tons of green smoke. Not sure why it wasn’t working. Some people in my guild had the same issue while other saw it. (We were all gathered on the same server on the same time)

Suggestion: You fixed the issue I had with not being able to see the cinematic by repeating that part every 20 minutes or so if you were standing near the fountain.
Good job!

Mad King Dungeon:

I ran the dungeon several times and I really enjoyed it. The only thing that was sometime hard, is when the the MK swaps your skill bar for an emoticon skill bar while you are fighting. .(Yay got the Crossover staff)

Suggestion: A warning up front on who he picks might work, so that the player can separate himself until it is over. Nothing big, just a suggestion.

Halloween skins:

I got two skins out of a chest and sadly they weren’t heavy armor. I was fully aware that spending money was a gamble so i do not feel disappointed that i didn’t get anything for heavy armor. Nobody forces you to gamle.

Suggestion: It would be great if those skins were not tied to light, medium or heavy armor but universal.

Conclusion:

What a big great event and thank you everybody at Anet for creating so much content for a simple Halloween day. I can not wait for the upcoming holidays.

Please hire the guy who did the voice acting for the mad king and let him do more stuff.
What a great awesome voice!

PS. Whoever designed the pirate Quaggan ( we need that as a pet), the artwork on a crafting window, loading screenshots etc. etc. THANK YOU!

I completed it on a Asura, Charr, Humand and a Norn.
Love the puzzle and i hope there will be more in the future.
Good job Anet.

Josh Foreman.8250:

I worked way too hard on that thing to throw it away! That would make me cry. Haha… spent a lot of my free time on it actually. You know it has 4,000 frames of animation, and I had to hand track every single frame that a splash happened on every single fish for the audio guys to sync it up. Not that we will never permanently destroy anything. In fact… well, I can’t say more than that. But NOT the lion statue. It’s the symbol of LA. Like the Statue of Liberty is for New York or the Eiffel Tower is for Paris.

Out of Curiosity, what did you did build it in? Maya3d, Modo etc etc?

Great to see a good post like this.
I have played MMO’s for a long time and Anet has blown my mind with this event.
Just wanted to thank Anet for creating this awesome event and for the people I bumped into and had tons of fun with while doing puzzles.

I have done it on a Asura, Charr and Human.
Each race has it’s advantage and disadvantage during the puzzle.

I understand that a lot of people find it hard, yet it is easier once you memorized the steps. Sure you will fail a few times but you will get further each time you try.

Find a group that does not have to many big people and let everybody take off there armor. Just be polite and explain it instead if yelling. I was in a good group when i got it the first time and everybody was supportive.

The more you do the puzzle, the more you learn the steps to take and before you know it, you will be jumping through the window.

So don’t give up!

Asura lvl 80
No buff or boost.

Charr lvl 28
No buff or boost.

However i did got fully nekkid and nothing beats achieving it while bringing sexy back
