Guild Wars 2

ok thank you

Am I allowed to use free accounts as mules to carry stuff for my main in order to put my investments in and use as storage?

I have four alts I bought when gw2 was 10$ at one point. I was interested in upgrading a few to HoT but then I thought why should I upgrade those alts when I could buy the whole game for the same price and get a whole new account instead.

It’s been less or more than a year since HoT came out. I don’t want to pay full price for an upgrade when I could get more out of buying a whole account. Also I know it was on sale for 25$ which is super awesome and nice but still..

I hope I haven’t missed anything and there actually is a discount somewhere I’m not seeing.

Forgot about that. Still annoying.

It would be nice if there was some way to see when day or nighttime was. It’s not always apparent what time of day it is. It’s easy when you’re in an open field, but there are a number of times when it’s not apparent.

Right now I’m trying to collect the cats for the home instance and I’m in the Grove right now. I’m standing around hoping it’ll be nighttime soon. If I had some kind of sundial or watch whatever, I could measure when I actually needed to come back.

I really liked it when we could mix and match rune sets better. That was awhile ago. I do think they should rework a bunch of runes. People are always going to figure out what’s the meta, but I like it when anet shakes up the pot a bit and people have to adapt. It would be boring if everything always stayed the same.

You’re too hard on yourself, Cpchow. And on everyone else. The queen doesn’t expect perfection. Why do you?

Keyfarming had that burned in my head. Well done sir.

Can’t wait to collect more Anet people for my friend’s list. Gotta catch em all.

Instead of MF cap increase, I wish there was a way to increase gold find more effectively. The 2+% each month is trivial. There could be essence of fortune included in the mix. maybe a 100-200% cap on that.

I wish they would add some kind of fractal that was based around old Lion’s Arch. It would remove alot of level designing from the equation since most of it is already there.

So now that we know what we should know about Caudecus, will this shooting range be open since he can’t “foot the bill” anymore?

I’m not being 100% serious of course, but still.. would be a nice touch to this mini game in action.

Attached picture is of what I’m talking about: http://i.imgur.com/eFwMLwl.png

I wouldn’t panic. Could be a bug.

Anet does listen to it’s community often. I don’t know why people are always complaining about this kind of stuff. It’s always, “Anet have lost their minds! It’s broken now, I can’t chain lava fonts.”

Good riddance. I loved playing ele but the class was seriously too OP. It could do everything. Dh being broken? I don’t see how. It got the better part of the buffs this class. Symbols even a sword.. epic. Banish cd was reduced too. I don’t care much for thieves, but the only people complaining are people who got to comfortable in their rotations and play style.

I corrected that caudecus is no longer in the queen’s throne room on the wiki, but someone put it back that he was. Maybe someone else can try.

Not putting any spoilers, but Caudecus is missing from the Queen’s throneroom now. Was this intentional? If so why is Logan still in the Seraph Headquarters. Shouldn’t he be in our home instance in the hospital?

tolunart.2095:

In the last day or two fish have been jumping out of the water and “swimming” on land nearby. When I attack them they jump back into the water.

I also occasionally see candy corn nodes flash into existence for half a second before disappearing.

I saw a candy corn node do that the other day…

Lol. Old school bug. Candy corn madness.

I pumped my magic find to 799% once and ran CoE. I got a venom. Yeah…

Huh, I didn’t even know gem rates were dependant on population. The more you know.

When you login to the game at character selection, on the bottom left there is “world selection”. In that menu there is a tab on the top right and you can choose NA and EU. The price for a transfer is 1800 gems.

If you’re asking instead for a discount, I doubt anet will oblige. Do some AB multi loot and save up gold to convert over to gems if spending real money isn’t an option.

I’d like to start buy saying thanks to anet for something that could have been in the gemstore, but made it free instead. My suggestion which is actually more like a complaint though, is the lack of “fluidity” is has for lack of a better word.

The particle effects snap with your character like the original feathered wings did before they added some physics to them to make them look convincing. The visage particles are locked to your toon and don’t trail behind like they probably should. If you rotate your toon left and right you’ll see what I mean, and it looks a bit off.

Edit: I understand that anet probably didn’t want to put lots of developer time into this, but maybe they could add an update for this somewhere in the future.

gw2 core is free, but it has alot of restrictions. You weren’t cheated.

I know why they can’t do it right now, but I was wondering if Anet ever has any plans to make this happen regardless of the issues involved? Is implementation even plausible in the near future?

Anet could release the models like overwatch did for the community and then people could start making armours for fun.

Wish it wasn’t on the other side of the continent.

I’d really like to see necro become a lifemancer or something. The main focus on being a condi remover and life generator.

I’m more specifically talking about the moth wing back piece but this applies to alot of back pieces.

I think some of the back armours should be dyable. After looking how cool some of the colour layouts for the moth glider can be, I believe you should be able to dye some of the back pieces aswell. I would love to use the moth one, but the red layout doesn’t look good on most of my toons.

This is like telling your parents what you want for your birthday.

I bet people will be asking Anet to make a poll about what gifts they should get.

I honestly didn’t care for WvW AT ALL until they made the change for the gift of battle which forced me to actually participate. It’s a good experience because now I’ve joined a WvW guild and participate in their scheduled wvw raids. Originally I only joined to farm up points for the gift, but now I legitimately enjoy wvw because of this change, which I would have never even bothered with before.

Honestly I hope they make a change and add a required gift in for PvP too. It would help PvP population and introduce people into pvp who would otherwise be reluctant to even try PvP. I don’t PvP at all and that’s because there’s nothing that requires me to do it. I have no real incentive for it.

If people complain about more grind for the legendary weapons, then I understand there feelings and they have a legitimate reason too argue this, but I think it would be best for the PvP scene and players overall by introducing them to another aspect of the game which they don’t try or practice enough on. Legendary weapons have always been a test of endurance in their creations. I think Anet should also add a test of mastery to that aswell.

Adding the gift would be simple. Take out the required obsidian shards needed for the gift of “MASTERY” (which obsidian shard certainly don’t portray), and add the gift for pvp. Then it would certainly be a true test of both Endurance (Map completion) and Mastery (Battle and PvP).

Make sure you don’t waste experience by staying on something even if you don’t have the mastery points to actually unlock it. If something is full, start on another.

Pretty much how I did mastery points the whole time.

I don’t know if this topic has been covered. In any case I wanted to know if there were plans to make anymore raids, even if they’re not tied to current story. Exploring Wizard’s Fief would be really cool imo.

I’m kinda of nervous that there might not be alot of them and hoping that the development doesn’t stop. I appreciate that there will be more fractals, but I hope that doesn’t take the OP team that made the raids away from developing even more raids.

That feeling when 91 people have looked at your post, but no one answers.

Like the title asks. Just wanna know because wiki doesn’t say.

GW2’s anti cheat system works alot like Valve’s VAC ban system. The bans are delayed in order to make sure the ones coding the hacks don’t ever really know which cheat got detected.

This person who thought mining under the node and using teleporting was clever. It’s old and very likely rooted out. You won’t see him/her much longer.

Even if they reworked something like the zhaitan fight, there would be little to gain from it. Players would complain of the waste of resources and old content. It’s better Anet counts their losses and does better next time.

I liked the Mordremoth fight. The extreme mode was pretty fun before people optimized the heck out of it.

I don’t think GW2 in China did very well.

Chinese gamers are a different breed like Koreans who love to grind and expect it in their MMO’s. They love conventional games that have lots of RNG and flashier and flashier equipment as they progress until their toons take up half the screen. GW2 doesn’t offer any of that as they’ve stated as their mission over and over.

The audience over there expects massive regular updates, power leveling, power creep and insane gear grinds.

I really wouldn’t mind a guaranteed key for each 2 or 3 maps completed. Map completion can bore you to tears when you’ve done it 5+ times already.

Please Anet consider increasing the drop rate of keys for this. It gives a little incentive to push on while doing completion.

This comes up like every month. Still +1 this, but actually start adding HoT nodes too.

Adding crafting stations (ie banks too) and other stations like this would kill city populations and areas that provide these things would become deserted.

It could drive people away from WvW but fighting for your guild only seems more personal to me than fighting for a whole server. Bringing your guild to the top would give it more value than a community of people.

The mutual agreement is more like a duel system imo. What I think I didn’t make clear was that you could participate in the guild wars and then your guild would be open to fight and be attacked. If your guild isn’t ready to fight, then they just don’t switch over.

I thought maybe people could steal resources, but wars would be more for glory and being the best.

Impactful argument. Good job.

I was thinking of an idea for guilds to really compete with each other. Maybe this idea has been suggested or hinted towards but I haven’t memorized the forums yet.

Guilds could declare war with other guilds and actually fight their enemies in their their guild halls. Mounting a raid against a guild has the attacking team stage a battle outside of their enemies gates to push into the actual guild hall. A little mapping would be required inorder to prevent people being directly teleported inside of a guild hall.

Guilds who participate in actual war by setting their guild appropriately would be put on a leaderboard with a number of statistics. Successful attacks, defends, Damage done to structures, kills, time spent raiding and losses would be tracked giving rewarded points and removed appropriately.

When a guild has been destroyed or damaged, the affected guild would have a debuff against them reducing their effectiveness in retaliation or staging fights against other guilds until their guild has been repaired. Repairs are made after a war is over and are performed automatically overtime or members can spend resources to increase the speed of their repairs.

Nothing is truly permanent to not devalue the actual gold invested building a guild hall, but visible damage would be seen after a battle is won.

Guilds would compete for ranks. The higher your rank the better the buff your guild members get overall to gold find, magic find and effective stats while mounting raids and defending. The leader board would be reset and honors given out to guilds who rank high each week or two.

Special decorations, guild armours, weapons, and a special emblems next to the guild’s tag over players heads would be awarded. (Like how players have map completion, pvp rank and masteries.)

Lastly, in order to stop guilds from going crazy with attacks non-stop, there would be cool down periods. After staging an attack, you can’t attack another guild for an hour. You also can’t attack the same guild twice in one day. This would be to prevent over zealous guilds who are well equipped and have the manpower from obliterating competition and forces them to be on the defense too from other guilds challenging them for top place.

The number of participants could vary. I would like a cap of 50 players on both sides since the guild hall isn’t THAT big.. like ebg. Who knows what the technical limitations would be for something like that though.

I think this would be more true to actual “Guild Wars”. Not some arena stage where it’s a team fight, but we call it GvG.

Yeah the aura duration should be at 5 1/4 seconds with these runes. I think they just were forgotten about since they’re not popular. Would be nice if this is fixed.

It might have been intentional since you can rez much faster when you go to the surface. Underwater combat is complicated and wasn’t approached well enough. I agree with you, but there’s a reason why the HoT content is void of underwater combat.

Thank for keeping this updated. Please bring back the archmage mantle back! Its the only piece I need to finish my cosplay. ;(

I don’t like outfits much. I much perfer the skins instead because mixing and matching is much more fun. I would take one whole skin set over five outfits any day. Not to say all outfits aren’t cool, but skins are better.

Would be a great idea for convenience if there was a shared gathering tool slot under your toons normal ones. You could drag your tools to the shared one which would take priority over any other tools your current toon is using.

Most people aren’t interested or even bother to communicate back. I spend most of my time pulling mobs to other players to get them killed in hopes the event will fail before they can kill the mobs. I can’t continue my collection without it.

The arah magnification lens was “fixed” which I appreciate 100%, but was the “Ancient Charting Device” fixed aswell for the defense? I got bronze for defending the site as I came late in it, but didn’t get the collection piece. Do I need to get gold, or do I still need to actually wait around countless hours hoping the defense will fail and wait again for an attack?

I took a snazzy pic and wanted an excuse to post it. Feel free to post any pictures you think are worth making your wallpaper.
