Guild Wars 2

My brother and I both play GW2, and we want to make a couple characters to go through the game together, but we can’t decide on what two professions would benefit each/other the best? Ex. most combo fields and finishers, better support skills.

What do you guys think? If you had to choose between any two of the current professions to play as a team, which would they be, and why?

I’m a cosmetic nut, and I would really like it if I could dye my hair accessories to match my armor dyes! Does anyone else agree?

The Norn and humans have some similar hair styles, and this one is one of my favorites. I’ve noticed that on the humans (left), the accessory colors change the hair accessory, but in the Norn hair style (right), it doesn’t. On both characters, I had the accesory color set to “Limette”.

Am I the only person that noticed this? and would it be that much work to fix this?

Also, there are a lot of clipping issues with longer hair for I believe all races. I know there are a lot for Humans and Norn

I’m going to make a Sylvari ranger, and I plan on using Kudzu, the legendary longbow. I want my characters skin color to be the same colors as my bow.

Does anybody know what Sylvari skin colors match Kudzu?

I’ve only used my racial elite once.

The Cathedral of Glorious Victory was contested, and I used Snow Leapord form to go stealth mode and cap the skill point without being attacked.

Other than that, I have never used them. The cool down is ridiculous and the skills are WAY too under powered.

I really think ANet should add the armors that the norn shamans wear.

Such as the Raven shamans http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/6/69/Raven_Shaman.jpg

& Bear Shaman Marga http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/5/55/Bear_Shaman_Marga.jpg

Shaman Sigarrhttp://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/3/34/Shaman_Sigarr.jpg

And I’m sure there is a wolf shaman somewhere but I can’t think of any off the top of my head.

So, I’m making a Sylvari male, and I’m wanting him to be like the exact same color as the fern hounds. Does anybody know what dyes match?

Also, does anybody know what colors match Kudzu, the legendary longbow?

If I remember correctly, in the Original Guild Wars, as you leveled up your pets would grow larger and the name of them would change to Dire, Elder, Playful, or Hearty.

Why did we not bring this back? Am I the only one who would like to see my pet grow and evolve as I go throughout the game?

Please please please bring this back GW2 guys!

It’s dumb little stuff like this that make people not want to play the game.

I’ve been playing the game for about a while, and my two older brothers recently started playing. One of them, not knowing that which “World” server you choose matters, joined a different world than my other brother and I. He now has to spend like $20 (that he doesn’t have), on top of the $60 he spent on the game itself, just so he can switch servers to play with us.

I think, in order to prevent things like this from happening, you should be able to switch your world one time for free.

Does anybody else agree?

YES! That was what I was missing! I feel so dumb now.

Thanks!

I’ve been stuck on my Krytan Explorer achievement for about a month now. I have 174/175 areas discovered. I can’t find the last area that I’m missing, and it’s so aggravating!

I have a solution to save other innocent gamers from such pain and suffering!!!

There should be an indicator for which areas you haven’t explored in the achievement panel. Of course, listing all 175 areas would be way too much. So, just list the ones you’re missing after you get down to just a few areas left, or if you’re missing a skill point or something.

OR

You could get a message from the Tyrian Explorers Society telling you what you’re missing.

Ex. “Greetings Explorer! We have heard of your ventures in Kessex Hills! We wanted to inform you that Master Elementalist Dylane is waiting on the South-Eastern corner of the Hills. Speak with him and defeat his fire elemental Merkessa to earn a skill point!”

This would save a lot of people a lot of time, and would also help prevent players from getting stuck on something simple like I am!

So, I have been stuck with 174/175 areas discovered in Kryta for about a month now. And it is so aggravating! I’ve looked all over the wiki, trying to find which place I might be missing. I looked on google, through other forums, I’ve spent literally hours looking over my map for blurry spots, and I still can’t find where it is that I haven’t explored!

Does anybody have any ideas as to what place I might be missing? Or maybe any advice on where I might find it?

Any advice would be appreciated!

I don’t like jumping puzzles, simply because my computer isn’t fast enough to do them. It’s to aggravating when I’m halfway through the puzzle, then before I jump, I lag, and end up having to run all the way back to the JP, restart it, then have the same thing happen again.

I could see there being ONE person that sticks with you throughout the whole game.

That’s what I thought choosing your sparring partner was for the Charr (Maverick, Zinky, Reeva, etc). And for the Asura, I thought your advisor was going travel with you throughout the game.

I could see the Hylek being divided into 3 different villages or, something. like the Charr have their legions. One could specialize in poisons and stuff (for Thievs, and maybe Engineers), one could specialize in magic, and the other in martial skills. (guardian & warrior).

I could also see the same thing for the Kodan, considering how they both have similar forms of government.

As much as I would love it, it’s too late to make that much of a change in GW2

So to summarize everything:

Tengu – Most likely the next playable race.
Kodan – Less likely, but it would be awesome!
Hylex – About as likely as the Kodan, but again, would still be really fun to play as a giant frog!

I was just playing around in the PvP Locker, when I found this combination. It’s Whispers Mask and Boots, Invaders Rawhide Leggings and Vest, and Human Cultural Tier 3 Assassins Gloves and Shoulderpads.

But /i like having both abilities. Like having sigils of Hydromancy and Geomancy, where you bleed and chill upon weapon change. instead of just increasing one, i want both.

I can’t see being able to combine sigils anytime soon, because that would be a ton of work for the guys up at Anet.

I think there should be 2 new races for each expansion. they added 2 classes per expansion in GW1, so why not?

There should be:
Cantha – Hylek, and Tengu (however, I would love to play as a Warden), and expand areas south of Echovald Forest.
Elona – Centaurs and Undead (they have tons of animations, and armor for them already) Centaurs in Vabbi and Kourma, and Undead, who are being controlled by Palawa Joko in The Desolation.
Tyria – Add Kodan, and expand North to the Far Shiverpeaks, where the Kodan can be living.

I love this idea of the spirit animals, and golem clothes! I would totally buy them if they were in the Gem Store.The 6 gods would be awesome as well, and the Charr have something specific to their legion, maybe? What about Sylvari?

I think, you can’t just do something amazing like this for one race., you have to do them all! Maybe have it specific to their story line, in that it defines your default town clothes! The Norns are their Spirit animal they chose as their town clothes. The Humans have the Gods they were blessed by. The Asura have their golem suits (the little golems), or something for their college, The Charr have a legion uniform. and the Sylvari have something for the cycle they were born in (Robes of Noon) or something.

As far as designing them, make them dye-able. That way you can make a black bear, polar bear, brown bear, whatever you want. Your golems can be whatever color, etc.

I saw this guy post about factions. He wanted GW to turn into WoW, with race specific factions. Here are my ideas:

I do like the idea of factions coming back. However, I don’t like the idea of the factions being race specific, like on WoW. I would also like to see new races be introduced.

Hylek, and Tengu in the Canthan expansion. (I would LOVE to play as a Warden, but I don’t see that happening)
Centaur, and Undead (like Palawa Joko) in the Elonan expansion
and Kodan, in Tyria

In Cantha, have Tengu and Hylek. and stick to Kurzick and Luxon. Have the Jade Sea be ravaged by the Dragons coming back, forcing the Luxons South-East into the Kursick territory, and forcing the Kurzicks South of Echovald Forest or something.

In GW2, it is said that Palawa Joko has taken control of Elona, so why not have more factions like For Palawa, or Against? The centaurs of Kourna and Vabbi, rebelling against the Undead of the Desolation.

And add nothing in Tyria accept the Kodan as a playable race, and expand the map North to where the Kodans homeland would be.

Any ideas? I would love to see everyones opinions on this!

Polarteddies???

Kodan? haha

I HATE how two handed weapons can only have one sigil at a time! I could understand how this would make it unfair, because one handed weapons aren’t as powerful. SoI think that two handed weapons should have an optional 2nd sigil slot, but if you have two sigils in use, it reduces the power of them.

For example. I have two weapons, one with a Superior Sigil of Earth, and another with a Superior Sigil of Ice, that way, I have a 60% chance to inflict bleeding for 5 seconds on a critical hit, and a 30% chance to inflict chill for 2 seconds on a critical hit.

If I had these two on a two handed Longbow, It would reduce the affect of the Superior sigil of Earth by making it cause bleeding for 2 seconds as well. OR make it so that there is only a 30% chance to cause bleeding on a critical hit

Does anybody else think this is a good idea? Feel free to share any ideas and opinions!

I never thought of how it would satisfy the people who want mounts!

I cant agree with this anymore!

Not just for humans though! I have a charr, who has the face with the white goatee. I had to change the whole colors of my character so that the pattern color matched the color of the facial hair.

Thieves and Mesmers are way over powered in PvP because, not only can they stay stealthed, they can do crazy high damage. Targeting the other player’s doesn’t help, at least on my server. Because, after they go into stealth, the target disappears.

Earlier today, I was in a pvp match, and out of nowhere a thief appeared out of stealth and attacked me. He hit me 3 times. Before I could even react, and I was dead.

Mesmers are too overpowered in that, they stay cloaked, while hiding in a crowd of clones they create. This is a problem, because EVERYBODY uses Mesmers in PvP now. During the same match that I was attacked by the thief, there was a group of 3 Mesmers roaming around together. If each player had 3 clones, that’s a total of 12 enemies, 9 clones/phantasms that do a great deal of damage each, and 3 players attacking and going in and out of stealth.

These two classes are way too overpowered, simply because of their ability to go into stealth. I think that going into stealth should only temporarily drop the target, and automatically re-target the enemy after they come out of stealth. As long as you don’t manually target something else, while your original enemy was in stealth. And to fix the targeting problem, by keeping the target above them after they come out of stealth. OR keep the target above them while they are invisible, but not automatically target them when they re-appear.

Right now, I have 174/175 locations discovered in Kryta, and there is nothing more aggravating than looking through your map, and back and fourth through forums and wiki, trying to fin out which location you don’t have discovered.

I think that after you get to the point where you only have like 10 or 5 locations left undiscovered, there should be a list of the locations, in the achievement menu. For example, I have 174/175 locations in Kryta. Under the Krytan Explorer achievement, there should be a list stating that I’m missing Beggar’s Borrow, or wherever it is that I am missing.

OR after you get down to 5, receive a message in your inbox from the Tyrian Explorers, saying that they have heard of a place called “Beggar’s Borrow” that I might want to check out.

This would save a lot of people a lot of stress, and time. Does anyone else agree? Feel free to share any ideas and opinions!

The Rocket Boots skill for engineers should be usable under water. Why not be able to use your rocket boots to propel you through water?

I think this would be too big of a sudden change, So, it is an idea probably best for some future game by Anet, Maybe not even Guild Wars 2 related. But I do think split classes are a huge part of what made the original GW so unique, because all the options players have, as to what they want to be.

I had a Monk/Necro, a Derv/Warrior Derv/Assassin, etc, and I loved mixing the skills and stuff. Thinking about it almost makes me want to go back to the original GW because there just isn’t as many things you can do with your characters in GW2.

Granted, all classes in GW2 are very flexible, and most classes can do many things, I still don’t think there are as many UNIQUE things to do in GW2 as there were in GW1.

ManBearPig

That is all.

Lulzzzzz JK! I see where you’re coming from! Kinda like thhe Black Moa, in GW1? I totally agree!

Lets face it, playing with the same skills throughout the whole game gets boring. I propose we bring back split classes! While creating a character, you can choose between a primary and an optional secondary class. Of course, for example, a Warrior/Guardian wouldn’t have all the skills of a warrior, nor all the skills of a guardian. Maybe even have completely different sets of skills. After creating a character,that’s it for the whole game. The only way to change your secondary class after that would be to buy a changing kit from the gem store.

Or a secondary class option could be available at level 11, when the characters can go to a trainer and get a training manual for whatever class they choose. But the one they do choose would be the only one for the rest of the game, unless a change kit it bought from the gem store. This would not only make ArenaNet more money by having tons of people buy change kits, but also Character Slot Expansions, More characters means more gear, so Bank Slot Expansions, and so on.

Of course people would create their characters, then decide they don’t like it, so they would have to go back, and delete the character. So there should be a “Test Play”character option while creating characters as well. I made a post about this yesterday. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Test-Play-Characters/first#post2254577

This would make the number of classes from 8, to like 64 or something. (I didn’t bother to do the math) This would also keep people entertained, and give them some kind of inspiration to play the game more.

This may be too much to do to change the game this drastically, and may be better saved for some other game by Anet, but I think it’s a good idea that could be used for something. Feel free to post your opinions!

I miss having all my builds saved one the original GW! I support this idea 100%

You could always hide the hood.

When I first saw the name of this, I thought it was going to be about an in-game statue of you somewhere, like in your home instance or something, that is of your character. Maybe a statue for each of them even? Kinda like the ones outside of Stonewright’s Steading in the Hoalbrak. Maybe they could summarize everything the characters have completed.

But this is also a great idea! I know old D&D fans who used mini’s would love to have copies of their characters!

After you’ve created your character, and finished the pre-game thing. Then, if you don’t like it, you have to delete the character, then restart all over. Plus you don’t get to test the racial skills, and see if they work well with the class you chose.

They could at least make all the armor hide-able, accept for the pants, and maybe shoes. I know my Norn would look pretty sweet without anything on but pants and shoes. He’d look more viking-ish. The Charr would look more animal-ish without all that armor, and the Sylvari could show off their skin patterns and glow colors more too.

I think it would add more uniqueness to the characters.

I would like to be able to hide all the armor peaces, and weapons. (except, of course, the weapons while in combat). I like the way the Norn have their tattoo’s, and the Sylvari have their skin markings and glow colors.

With hair accessories, I would like to be able to dye them, as you can your armor. I made a Norn character with the head-band hair style, Later on, I found some armor I liked, and dyed it a color that wasn’t available while creating my character. Now I have a character, with armor that doesn’t match the hair accessory. I think if I was able to dye my hair accessory, I would be able to make my character look a lot better.

I would also like to see changeable and dye-able underwear. That way you can find a pair you like, then dye it so that it matches your tattoos, skin markings, etc.

Feel free to share your ideas/ opinions!

I tried searching for other suggestions similar to this, and I couldn’t find any. I see a TON of people asking for a way to change their race, and stuff. I think you could fix this by letting them test their characters.

After creating their character, before the actual game begins, there should be an option to “test play” your characters, where you can have your selection from all the skills armors, weapons, and dyes in the game.

The players can then find whatever armor/ weapons they want to work for, and if they like the way the way their character turns out, they can then decide to either proceed to the game, or go back and make changes to the character, that way they know if they like the weapon skills, the armor, and their characters appearance. The players will also know what armor, weapons, and dyes they will want to work for throughout the game.

This will save a lot of people from making characters, then playing them, just to turn around and delete the character because they can’t find any armor they like, or that don’t like the racial skills.

Feel free to post your opinions!

I’m just gonna make my own game, with blackjack… and hookers!

@ Ruruuiye I was just working on my map completion. I went through Skrittsburg, and though “Man, it would be fun to play as a Skritt!” So I came back here to post about it, and you already had the idea! haha.

OR there could be like a dance instance in all the main cities, Black Citadel, Lions Arch, etc. where players can go and get drunk, dance with other players, and choose to get married. Like Vegas! Then the two can choose to get married!

I don’t think it should be like Fable, where you have to make them like you and all that stuff. I think you should have to pay however much gold, or gems to buy a husband/wife. Then you can totally design them, like creating a new character. Their sex could be entirely up to you, and you can do quests or something together.

If they are ever a playable race, I would like to see the largos have different skin colors and wing colors, and different wing designs. They could be located in the waters around the Ring of Fire, or the waters around the Crystal Desert.

Or select them, right click on them and hit “Dance” and it sends them a dance invite.

I made a Norn Guardian, and I would like to change to a Human, for the racial skills. But it took me until I was level 80 to realize it. But I see all the problems changing your race would cause, so I guess I’ll just have to deal with it.
