Guild Wars 2

I mean, it’s not unusual for a sculptor to take creative license when designing statues.

Considering it’s likely none of them know what Kormir even looked like…?

It’s at the very bottom, under Miscellaneous. It’s called ‘Stow/Draw Weapon’

Nope. Sorry, you’ll have to pay for it.

It should be similar to swapping guild halls now, you pay the 100g to unlock it, maybe have to do a mission, and boom its yours.

Also, she’s been around for 250+ years, she’s had time to pick up some tricks.

Meanwhile, I’d kind of like to see them bring back the 3 way games they had in GW1 Hall of Heroes.

Either 3v3v3 or 4v4v4.

Having some more options basically, would be nice.

Realistically, you used one key to get the item. Getting two back is more than fair.

And yes, you can argue that you used X amount of keys, but you still only used ONE to get that duplicate.

Why do so many people want a bard class so bad?

At launch we had two classes that never got released. The first being Commando which every knows won’t happen due to tech. The second is the minstrel that later revealed itself to be the Mesmer.

A Bard and a Minstrel are more or less the same and the reason it’s so requested is because Anet put the idea out to begin with and it stuck.

Hate to tell you, the Bard and Commando classes were april fool’s jokes. They were never seriously intended as classes.

Honestly I think it’d at least be a bit classy if there was some tamer options instead of just dancing and fireworks.

Some options to bow, salute, etc.

If I have a tough game, I don’t necessarily want to dance cause it’s a bit mocking.

Give us some options to salute/honor our fallen enemies.

To be honest I kind of like the Night’s as they are now, simply because I like seeing where I’m going.

It also fits since there’s not many lights out and about in the world that would ruin your character’s night vision.

Plus GW2 doesn’t really lend itself well to dark nights like Skyrim etc. do.
In Skyrim, night time is awesome because you can sneak around and actually use the darkness as a tool. There’s nothing like that in GW2.

Now all that said, if ANet introduced moon-phases where the night is darker when it’s closer to the New Moon phase, that’d actually be pretty neat and immersive.

Anet seems to be avoiding underwater combat recently. Not that I blame them! (Seriously though, I enjoy underwater! Fix underwater skills ).

Personally, I think that all skills should at-least have an underwater equivalent. Maybe by the time we fight the Deep Sea Dragon we’ll get some changes.

(inb4 the Deep Sea Dragon is fought on ships. Or on the surface.)

I reckon anet will bypass that by having us discover underwater cities akin to the Gungan cities in Star Wars: Phantom Menace.

I mean, there’s a few known races that live underwater in GW2 already. Quaggan, Largos, Krait, etc.

That said, have you guys ever looked at the Flesh Golem? It’s a giant solid mass of flesh/bone. It might not even float.

I for one hope ANet sees this thread and gets back to work on those animations.

You may want to look into the Triumphant armor from WvW.

I have a ‘kinda’ related issue, not sure if I should make a separate post, but I’ll risk posting it here in an effort to streamline the forum, and I suppose support your post in the process.

I play in 3rd person, and in some situations, I play relatively close to my character, like roughly the old default distance behind your character? There are some fights where it’s handy for me.

My issue as a staff elementalist is the long distance, ground target spells, and at certain angles, and being that close to the action, it’s hard and nitpicky to see if I have my cursor on the ground as ‘far’ out as I can. I usually have to sacrifice by not being close enough to the monster when rushed.

Taking a side step for a second, my spells have a red line under them if I’m targeting a part of the monster and I’m too far away to use that spell. Also helpful for me to re-target a different monster appendage so I’m in range, where I’m standing, so I can continue.

Now, when my cursor is away from me out on the ground and I press an area spell, I get an error message, and it won’t let me cast. My question/suggestion (quesggestion?) is: If it knows it’s going to refuse my cast where my cursor currently is away from my body, why not tell me that by putting the little red indicator bars under my spells? As I move the cursor away from me, there will be no red bar, until my cursor gets too far away, then it shows the red bars under the spells.

This would allow me to know that max distance in real ‘busy’ effects and chaos situations without having to actually see where my cursor is, relatively to identifiable things on the ground in front of me.

And maybe to cut down on the calculations, maybe make it only come on when you have something targeted and are auto-attacking with any of your other abilities? Wouldn’t want it having to recalculate that if I’m just running around not really attacking anything.

Not quite the same as yours, I know where my cursor is on the screen, I don’t know exactly where it is more precisely in the world, if that makes sense.

Edit: Oh, +1 to Donari’s suggestion. I tell people about that all the time. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than not knowing about it.

There’s actually already something like what you’re describing. Hit F11 to open options, scroll down to the bottom.

There’s two options there, one is ‘Lock Ground Target at maximum Skill Range’ which literally makes it so that even if you’re mouse is way off in the distance behind the target, at most a ground targeted spell will show up at the maximum possible range.

There’s also ‘Snap Ground Target to Current Target’ which literally just makes ground targeted spells cast on your currently selected target. (Assuming it’s within range, of course.)

I do not recall them EVER promising to include player housing. The closest I ever heard was the home instance, and it was never advertised as being akin to player housing really, afaik.

Don’t suppose you can link a post or something where they promised player housing? I’m genuinely curious.

I, for one, fully intend to use these new blocks of snow to make a giant snow castle in my guild’s hall.

I believe you actually can buy a replacement for the recipe from Grandmaster Hobbs in Lion’s Arch, See https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Tricks_and_Tips_for_Mechanical_Pistol_Crafting

(At the bottom, it says you can purchase from him after completing the achievement.)

…Can’t tell if you’re serious or just wanted to see how many cat puns you could fit in a single post.

Also, this is a horrible idea.

I always imagine it being used by the guardian to tell the enemy to retreat, not so much the guardian calling for his own side to retreat.

If you check the wiki’s page for The Ascension, it states you’ll still be able to get it after 2016, but the method to get it may change.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/The_Ascension

My biggest fear is that it’s going to be as expensive as HoT was. I love to support ANet, but they really haven’t added enough content for the price we paid….

Palador.2170:

I’m pretty sure that if ANet could make good capes in this game, we’d have a dozen or so in the gemstore by now. And I doubt that something they’ve been unable to deliver for years will suddenly be figured out in the next few days.

They could, maybe, make crystal wings that leave a rainbow trail. But (and I’m being serious here), I’m sure someone would get upset if they heard of an MMO where they wanted all the LGBT supporters to gather on the highest ledge they can find, and jump off.

Oh god, that would be hilarious. I fully endorse this idea. 100%.

(I’m a terrible person, I know, but the way you phrased it… priceless!)

I mean, by your logic. ‘Pride’ flags are so very far back on the list of things ANet could do if it wants to show support after tragedy.

Unfortunately, while what happened in Orlando is tragic, it’s hardly the worst thing to happen in the world in recent times.

TBH I can’t see it being terribly hard for ANet to implement either. An NPC gets added to the tavern/etc., and then when you purchase stuff either it gets spawned in a set location or maybe it becomes a placeable object like guild decorations.

Of course, it’s probably still hard. But considering that it might make some of the bars in the various cities a bit more popular, it’d breathe a bit of life into the cities.

So while exploring LA on my newest ranger, I took the time to actually notice some of the stuff you explore.

And it occurred to me ANet has all these taverns/bars/etc. scattered around the various cities/wilderness, but there’s almost nothing to do at them.

So I was thinking, wouldn’t it be kind of cool if ANet introduced some NPC’s at the various bars that would sell stuff to make those bars briefly more… active?

So, maybe you can pay to briefly unlock some firework launchers. Or have food/drink. Or have a ‘band’ come out and play music.

I’m aware that this stuff is already available via Guild Feasts/player instruments etc. But it’d be kind of a neat feature that might make people use those locations for in-game celebrations. (Say if a guild is celebrating one of their members birthdays/etc.)

Maybe also have it so that there’s a random chance of your ‘event’ being crashed by bandits/drunks, and you have to beat them up. (I admit it, I really want the bar brawl minigame that was promised to us…)

Anyone else think this could be something fun to do while you’re bored in cities?

Stupidly made a thread because I forgot to check if there’s a sticky for this kind of thing.

Gonna lazy-mode and copy-paste from that thread.

“So I was previewing the new WvW Triumphant (Medium)-armor set on my Sylvari thief, and when I saw the boots have kneepads I decided I must have them for all my medium armor characters.

But when I previewed those same Triumphant medium armor boots on my female norn ranger… apparently the ‘kneepads’ are located below where the knee actually is.

After investigating there’s the same exact issue with the Honor of the Waves medium boots on female Norn.

Anet, please tell me you’ll consider fixing these boots so female norn wearing medium armor can have proper kneepads.

Attached pictures showing how the boots look on Sylvari, and how they look absolutely TINY on a female Norn."

Note: The Norn Tier3 Cultural boots for Medium armor show up correctly, with kneepads on the knees. Please fix the triumphant/honor of the waves boots anet!

If you guys really feel a need to pay a subscription, you can always just buy 800 gems each month, or once every 2 months, and get most of what you’re listing….

I mean, trade some of the gems to gold and you get the free waypoints/reduced TP costs.

If you want the bank access/etc. you could buy those too.

There is literally no reason to go subscription model to get these things.

Edit: To contribute, how about some sort of fancy title that gets fancier the longer you’re subscribed. No gameplay advantage for doing it, but it’d be something you can only get by subbing.

Edit2: Title could be like ‘Part of a Crowd; for month 1, then in month 2 it changes to ’Crowd Controller’, and in month 5+ it changes to ‘Crowd Control Warrior’.

Alternatively you could try going with birch or the like for skin color on a Sylvari. This also works with more colors.

I’m not sure what you mean by the no dyes look good on leather with her skin tone though.

My Sylvari thief (Blue skin, not sure what color exactly, but definitely blue) looks completely fine in regular(Non-cultural) medium armor dyed a mixture of red’s/browns/greens/etc.

Technically it is still very much possible to get the Spinal Blades back item.

…I swear to god if ANet does this I’m out. I’d quit.

Not because I have anything against transgenders or anything, but just because frankly with the NPC’s we already have cluttering up the storyline we don’t need any more ‘main characters’.

I don’t care if Sya shows up some more in LW Season 3 as sort of side character or the like, but there’s enough plotpoints already that need tying up.

How about giving us the armor they used in promotional images for the Reaper elite spec?

That armor is the Armor of the Lich (Arah dungeon armor), but with the Reaper’s Hood

Huh. Looks cool in the pic I posted, but the actual armor looks like crap – I just want a black (deep black) robe and hood. No swirly bits – just black

I mean, have you tried dying your armor just black/grey? Cause that’s how you get black robes. If you want deep black you’ll need to shell out for a deep black looking dye.

Color isn’t determined by armor.

Redenaz.8631:

Huh, really? It doesn’t bind them to your account?

That’s…weird. Convenient, but it doesn’t seem to fit with how everything else works. o_O

It only works for items that don’t become soul bound when equipped. AKA blue items.

Did you seriously necro a year old thread that you never even posted in? There’s plenty of threads a lot more recent about this…

You do realize there’s more work in GW2 maps than there ever was in GW1 maps? They need to account for jumping, creature design, potentially new weapon skins etc.

And now they’ll need to worry about gliding, potential masteries, etc.

Open a support ticket, there’s absolutely nothing we on the forum can do to help you.

M.O.X. already exists, and resents any implication of being ‘Mini’.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/M.O.X.

Unless I’m mistaken, I believe they’ve said they’re working on this feature. It’s not instantaneous when they decide to implement a feature like this.

It takes time to develop and implement.

There’s a flaw in your logic. ANet never specifically wanted to get RID of healer’s and tanks, it just wanted every class to be able to do most anything.

Example they used way back when was an Elementalist swapping to Water Attunement to provide healing for the group.

The goal they set out to achieve wasn’t to get rid of tanks/healers per se, but to make it so X class isn’t REQUIRED to perform Y role in a group.

Explain Druid then?

Explain why there so many ways to make tanks of Scrappers, Reapers, Necros, Guards, Warriors, and others…

Explain why healing on classes like Reaper/Necro is almost non-existent (yeah, use blood magic, but its still not as effective as Ele’s staff water and Druid)… And thieves don’t even have heals that are even worth using for party use?

They actually made the trinity show up in Raids and all.

Any class can tank, in theory.

Also, many classes have/had group healing abilities at one time or another.

Thieves had their venom-heal, Guardians have shouts and symbols.

Engineer’s have healing turret, Elementalist Water Attunement.

Ranger has (and always had) Healing Spring and Water Spirit.

Necro’s have Blood magic for minor group heals. (I never said every class was good at healing)

Mesmer’s have their Well-heal now, and have had various minor group heals through traits.

Warrior’s… yeah. They never really had much in the way of healing

Revenant’s… yeah. Ventari, etc.

Every class is capable of healing to some extent. They’re not necessarily great or even good at it, but they can perform the role. And before raids that was plenty.

With raids, well. I wouldn’t be surprised if a few months from now we see a team do it with no healing at all.

You guys do know there’s a living world season 3 planned, yes?

Chances are some of the answers will be in that season.

Well, once a guild is upgraded enough it can have benefits for repping, such kitten discount on using waypoints.

Beyond that, there’s no reason for any guild to require that players rep that guild, although some do ask that you rep during guild events etc.

You can also just whisper them and ask what the skins/etc they have are. Most people are cool and will answer you.

I mean, I’ve never seen KQ downed in literally 30 seconds. In fact I’m pretty sure that’s not actually possible.

Regardless, next time make sure you have all the waypoints unlocked first. I mean, you said you get there 10~ minutes early, you should have taken that time to make sure you had all the waypoints.

Edit: There’s already 2 phases to the fight. There’s the initial phase where she’ll do her little melee-meat-grinder roll and then there’s a second burn phase where she resets to 50% health and stays still.

I’d like to nominate Ykwolf.1827. He’s my guildie and an IRL family member. He’s an amazing person, and is always helping the guild, and our family.

Unless I missed something there’s no Exalted armor. The only thing in game that’s Exalted themed is the back items, and the Auric weapons.

Honestly, I almost always stop to rez people. The annoying thing is when you start to rez them and they map out.

You could always make them realize what it means to be a Mentor.

Ask them questions, lots of questions. If they’re tagged up as a Mentor it’s not like they can claim you’re harassing them if you ask legitimate, related questions to the content in the zone you’re in.

That said, who even cares if they Mentor up? I only ever follow people with true Commander tags, especially if the commander has Skittles.

Go to Queensdale, beat on the drakes. I got one on my low level (Level 8?) Revenant there.

My guildie also got one, he was level 6.

My small personal guild has a Gilded Hollow Guild Hall as of earlier today. Me, one guildie, and 2 people I invited to join for the sole purpose of taking the hall managed to claim it from those Filthy Mordrem.

That’s right, 4 people managed to take a Guild Hall.
(1 Chronomancer, 1 Dragonhunter, 1 Ranger, and 1 Tempest)

This does not need to be made easier. It was not easy taking it with 4 people, it would have been better with 5 or 6. But it is DEFINATELY doable.

I believe in you, small guilds. You can do it.
