Guild Wars 2

A bunch of hair/face and armor suggests under the link, created by me in spare time for digital practice as it’s a skill I’m trying to improve:

(attached my favorite as a preview thingy)

This is a good decision …but really…only if they add a new reward that’s same value and desirability every year.

There’d be a ‘Year of *’ vendor added every year, with their own rewards roster.

This way, spending the tickets stays a major decision, according to which reward you want to work towards. Which would spread out the tickets being spent as well.

these vendors could be displayed similar to the BLTC vaults?

We’re a smallish guild welcoming new players, or people who might be returning from hiatus. Building an online group of friends who enjoy hanging out and playing the game. Biggest requirement is to be friendly and willing to help others learn.

Here’s our website:

Feel free to whisp me in game for invite, or if I’m not online feel free to send mail.

Created a ‘Sandbox’ webpage with galleries for hair and face concept art and general GW2 ideas.

I love the game so it’s nice to have a place to stash that sort of thing…named it ‘Sandbox’ because it’s low stress building castles in the sand (since the ideas there will probably never happen).

I’d post individual images to avoid clickbaiting…but it’s over 20 various pics.

Attaching an image so there’s a quick idea of what’s on the other side of the link:

I’d love to be able to have more feminine asura options without breasts pleasssse.

Is it possible that instead of taking away female variant and replacing with male…or keeping it and having people bemoaning the lack of male variant…that we get a toggle?

Hear met out please. This would be giving the community something extra that everyone could be happy with, and could potentially be applied to other armor sets. I know it’d be a lot of work, but the end result would be a wonderful thing.

Having a male/female version toggle for armors when applicable would be a wonderful thing imo.

Ah, cool, thank you!

Yeah…weapon dyes would also be great but I tend to use smaller weapons so it’s not been that big a deal for me yet. Once I get a character that uses greatsword it’ll probably become something I yearn for.

polearms would be great…but my warrior hankers for a greataxe more.

Any excuse to go to Cantha would be great, but I’m guessing Kralk.

what game is CO short for?

More possibilities when playing with armor is always a plus. I’d love to see it as an option.

I do some crafting but I don’t find it to be a hugely engaging part of the game. I made it all the way through cooking on one toon though!

These are really amazing and look FANTASTIC on sylvari, especially if you match them up to their glow color.

yep…I wish I had a dye channel for my abilities. Just one dye channel. My necro is a vision of pink and turquoise. Granted, I could redesign her to be green…maybe I’m just OCD…but just putting it out there in case there’s a 1% chance it could happen.

I like small frequent updates. Where the world is slowly expanding and growing and I can take it in at a steady pace. It works better than HUGE drop of an expac, which players tend to binge play on…then a drought spell where everyone is grumpy/bored….with that cycle being on wash/rinse/repeat.

I’d wear the heck out of an outfit like the first pic.

I agree with the original poster. I’ll never get to experience the marionette encounter due to it’s temporary nature and occurence before I joined the game. If it were still available…it’d be more for me to explore…and a draw for other joining players.

Thankfully I DO have the opportunity to play the SAB. But worlds inside worlds is a huge plus for exploration. Will I play it for months and months…of course not. But it’d be a nice occasional thing I’d come and goof around with.

No one else wants 2h axes here? I’m sorta surprised really.

I know polearms and fist weapons aren’t as alluring..but I was sure someone else out there would get excited about the idea of 2h axes.

PRetty much what it says on the tin. Weapons I’d love to see in GW2 that just aren’t there.

Greataxes (2h axes) I miss great huge axes. This is really the one weapon I sorely wish could be in GW2 that we don’t have. My warrior neeeeeds.

Polearms (it’s not exactly a staff…has a blade up top)

Fist Weapons (maybe? designs for these get kinda weird in other games….but it’s a weapon not currently in gw2…just a token mention really).

Thank you onevstheworld . I was under the impression that the elite spec was only effective if paired with it’s respective new weapon. I play staff on my ele, and wasn’t tempted by the warhorn…which is part of what prompted this thread.

Granted….I’d also like to do the hammer swap with my engi, but it wasn’t quite as big a deal to me as giving up staff on the ele.

I was pointing out that I’d like to use the elite specs…but not necessarily for every encounter, giving up another weapon build entirely.

My apologies that it came across unclear.

Dragonfly wing glider. Insect wings design.

Undead dragon wings…like wingbones with tattered flesh draping between.

Manta Ray themed glider.

Jeweled wings…perhaps dragontype wings with jewels and jewelry ornate decoration.

A rocket pack on my back. Like…old school tnt style look like I’m gonna blow myself up. My engi needs this.

seraphim backglider……double winged glider. with hawk wing construction…but shaped and modeled to be a double wingset.

Lionfish fins glider. Those frilly fins man…with stripes and bright colors.

My point is that because I’ve spent 80 lvls playing with a certain weapon build….I’m extremely unlikely to change that after lvl 80 to try out the new elite specs, when I have a build I can depend on.

Most classes have the option of trying out elite spec by making it their weapon swap, and if they have issues mid battle it’s a simple swapout. Eles and Engis do not have this option.

We either swap to it and play it…….or not.

Want to try out elite spec?….equip, find a mob….do or die. If your other weapon build was better suited to the situation….tough.

And no….fishing through my bags in between fights to find my elite spec weapon set and then swapping back after each mob encounter to try out elite spec is not viable gameplay. It’s awkward and clunky.

If pruning is needed to give weapon swaps to engis and eles….I’d leave that to the game designers. They’ll have better data on what weapon kits/abilities/etc are getting the most gameplay…and a better understanding of the greater player base’s opinions on it than I would.

I’ve enjoyed it and not regretted the purchase at all.

Randulf took some of the points I had against and for the expac and summed them up much more eloquently than i could.

can we have weapon swaps for all profs? Pretty please?

I love my engi and ele (they’re my two main professions) but I’m unlikely to totally give up weapons I truly enjoy playing and change my whole playstyle on that toon at lvl 80 to do the new elite specs.

Every other class can swap back and forth…and yes…I know ele and engi have large toolboxes.

I wouldn’t mind a bigger toolbox. I like the more complex playstyle option these professions give…their only downside is the lack of weapon swap.

Right now I think the storyline has about the perfect amount of romance in it. Enough to add interest…but not enough to be over saccharine.

As for the idea of the player character involved in romance of any sort…an emphatic no. Each individual has very unique and personal ideas of a suitable partner, and to impose one set of characteristics isn’t particularly fair.

From google:
Etymologically-speaking, “oriental” is hardly pejorative, deriving from a French term which basically translates to “Eastern” (and still exists as French “orientale“). In other words, one might describe it as a Latinate antonym of “Westerner,” a term which Europeans and Americans take little offense at.

Mind you…there’s plenty of sites arguing the reverse, and what it boils down to is anyone can take something and get offended at it, depending on how sensitive they are about certain things.

Also, if said in a hostile manner..yes, just about any word can become offensive as well.

I’d certainly hope it was obvious I meant no harm in my use of it.

Being a newer player I didn’t know anything about Cantha. Looked it up and it’s very exciting! I love oriental anything usually so it’d be a definite yes for me. I’d be exploring every nook and cranny of the place.

AND THE SKINS…..all the excite for oriental based skins.

There…..is…..a….PERMANENT hair stylist contract?? THIS EXISTS???

I have a MIGHTY NEED.

For condi builds this is a really onerous issue. It’d be great if objects took condi damage, particularly the older ones.

+1 support!

Yeah…I was squealing in delight when the hawk wings debuted. Fastest purchase EVER.

Norn are already pretty darn big. Especially if set to max height. If they made them bigger people would be unhappy then too. Always something it seems.

I’ve seen plenty of grumping over their ‘slower’ run animation due to their size already. It’s like norn run in slow mo, and asura are pure fast forward.

My ele would wear the heck out of a kimono. Yes please.

I’d love some dye abilities for back pieces. Even the basic ones.

Not complaining, just a small list of features I think GW2 sorely needs.

Dungeon queue feature:
where you can queue up for a specific or random dungeon without entrance loitering. Making it easier to group up, meet other players and enjoy content.

Calendar:
why do we not have this? For world holiday events…for guild leaders to set up events? Is it already in game and I’m missing it somewhere? Even if just so basic I could post guildies birthdays would be a boon.

Outfit slots:
More color slots for the outfits. Since outfits get more new releases than skins (and I totally understand this, I do)…It’d be great if we could have a couple more color slots on them. Some of the simpler ones could use fadeouts so players could personalize them more.

Barbershop:
at least for previewing exclusives without gem expenditure. I’d like to know whether to spend gems on a makeover kit from in game sources rather than researching the internet for previews.

My dearest wish would be that we could hair modify without gems, but I know that’s unlikely. I understand the makeover being gems…but a hairstyle seems reasonable to pay a modest sum of gold for instead.

Casual Small Guild:
allow small guilds to gain influence by playing together in a less rigid structure. Downing a world boss while in guild group 2-3….completing events.

Playing together in the way we may want to play…rather than going to a checklist to see how we need to play.

Also, …take away gold currency for guild requirements. Don’t make guild leaders be bill collectors. Possibly a compromise would be to have guild events or playing together earn gold for the guild that’s automatically put in guild bank.

I’d prefer simplifying to one currency only…that being influence. Why do we need two currencies for guild advancements?

haha….for me it was just an “oh! that’s why so many drinks are dropping from the presents!”

I was completely boggled over why these had such a high drop rate!

I like loot bags. They allow me to open and deal with bag space issues later at my convenience.

However, I agree they could use some refinement. Make fewer types of loot bags. Maybe just one of each rarity type, with loot drops of that rarity in each.

I’d love to see a guild calendar in game. As guild lead it would be a huge help in organizing events, and allowing members to plan to be online for maximum ability toplay together.

I don’t like the gold requirements with the current system. As guild leader it means I’m either broke 90% of the time…or I become a bill collector to my members to get help paying for upgrades, which I simply won’t do.

I miss the influence system dearly. sigh.

downloading is one thing…but finding a server for my guild has been the issue. I don’t particularly want to pay cash for server hosting. Are there free resources for that sort of thing?

Does it exist? Has anet ever made noises about it being implemented (if it’s not already)?

Hey there. Just wanted to post an update that I’ve created a website for the guild, and it might be helpful to anyone looking into whether we’re the right guild for you. It also has officer contact info for invites, should I not be online.

It’s still in progress, so forgive a few of the placeholder text blocks and gallery images!

Keep in mind it’s still super early and generally in mmo xpacs there’s a lot of tweaking to new systems/events before it’s the way they plan to leave it.

I say wait a couple weeks while playing casually before making up your minds. Let them roll out a few patches and make adjustments. This is their first xpac after all…and it’s not like we all get everything perfect on the first try, ok?

It is supposed to scale down so that a group of 5 can do the claiming mission.

I’ll have to build up my super small guild as well to do the current pve missions, all of which that I’ve seen require 5 players. (anyone want to join a family guild? haha. …no seriously, just ask.)

Granted…my guild has been more prone to running with a group of 3 for world events/bosses/etc. It used to be that a small group like that could go out in the world…complete events and get small amounts of influence.

With the current system favor seems only aquireable by running specific missions with five people. This is discouraging because it doesn’t fit what my guild does, and we’re flat broke on favor with this system.

Some ways to gain even small amounts of favor by doing casual laid back play should be reimplemented, and I hope they adjust this in the future. It doesn’t have to be a lot…I don’t necessarily want favor handed to me…but for a guild more prone to forming micro groups and doing roaming world events…this current system is…..unfavorable.

I miss the easygoing ways to earn small amounts of influence…..I’d party up with a couple people and we’d do events, world bosses, storyline together. It didn’t earn much, but we’re a small guild and didn’t need much.

I wish there were casual ways to earn favor so we could continue being casual in our playing together.

Just my two cents.

Clockwork Wolves is a casual friendly guild, exploring the game and enjoying each other’s company. Anyone is welcome to join.

Our goal with this guild is to make some friends and explore the game. Creating a laidback online family. We’ll be working our way into dungeons, fractals, and raids as time goes on. Honestly, we’re pretty new players and aren’t stressing about rushing headlong into endgame content. We’re here to have fun.

If you’d like an invite, just send me ingame mail or reply to this thread. We’d love to have you join us!

These are awesome! I especially like the first one!

She’s not quite done, but close enough that I wanted to share her. I’m still relatively new to GW2 and outrageously excited about the sylvari. FAVE RACE EVER. Played several profs, but my favorite is engi, and Mavis has quickly become my main char.

My gaming blog is on tumblr if any GW2 players hang out there. I’m at gamertabby.tumblr.com

Thank you for answering my question, I really do appreciate it. It still makes me sad I can’t run instances with my EU guildies though.

really? it’s not a bug? That ……gives me a sad. Are you sure?
