Guild Wars 2

I want every expansion’s masteries to be unique, not just the way it functions also the way it looks on our characters, HoT masteries is a golden-colored number and icon replacing our character levels, my idea for next masteries looks is a crest in our character portrait, just like veteran, elite, champion or legendary crest of npc. that way we dont have to see masteries number above 200 in our character lvl. as for the masteries function i still cant think the good one.

this changes is pretty much needed, if anet let how people purchase ascended gear on pvp any longer, ascended is pretty much become the “new exotic”, is not for exclusivity purpose but for the equality that non-pvp players do spend way more money and time to make their ascended gears while in pvp, with minimal effort people can acquire ascended gears and 100++ transmutation charges.

It’s alright to have a story mode for raids with its boss that can be killed only with autoattack, but Story mode is just for a story so rewards must be excluded, even rewarding with a few magnetite shards and exclusive raid skin are still too rewarding for only story mode. otherwise whats the point of raid anyway if story can still reward shard and skin, i said this because i saw someone posted something like this but i didnt remember where, reddit perhaps?

Yep, i would like to see divinity reach on rain, not just specific area in queensdale that has endless rain.

Not every class has access to resistance boon, only warrior, revenant, and mesmer via rng, i would say make this boon more accessible on all class via modifying some skill, like guardian shout that gives resistance alongside regeneration without using a specific rune for it.

This is something that made me wondering, what is the real mean of the word ‘Sorrow’ in guild wars 2? the word is literally overused, there are Sea of Sorrows, Ship of Sorrow, Sorrow furnace, Sorrow embrace, Sorrowful sound, Sorrow’s Eclipse, Sorrow’s bay, Final Sorrow, Sigil of Sorrow. it must be means something in gw2 lore.

I don’t usually post feedback but I think I have to post this after playing the third LW Episodes,

1. too much open world to progress the story, like in the second episode there is too much objective involving open world, we dont get as much story/dialogue as in Instanced Story so this is kind of bothering me, Story instance is the best part of story, the story instance in the first episodes eventhough there were only 3 instances, but it was well made and the dialogue were well written, especially the one where we met Caithe at white mantle stronghold, the instance in this third episode seems rushed, especially the last two instances, we only fought abnormal icebrood goliath and then the story finished, no dialogue? and the last instance are quite good but the mobs appear to be too strong, too tanky, and hit like a truck and there are endless of them, not to mention the last boss also the story are too short unlike the first and second episodes. overall I am dissapointed with this 3rd episode, the previous two episodes were quite good, but the second episode also kind of bothered me with too much open world involvment but it wasnt as annoying as in this 3rd episode

2. Too much items cluttering our inventory, my finger hurts to always right click, destroy runes, right click destroy twigs, right click destroy shiny ice.

3. I love the new maps, especially the giant forest part, and grassy part of shiverpeak southeast.

For raid, try to ask your guild whether they have scheduled raid training for their member, or join a group that has one keep asking to join raid training on your guild once a week eventually they will recruit you to their primary squad once you mastered it, goodluck.

Yes please! it would be awesome to be able to target more than single foe with dual pistols, that or rework unload to target at least 3 foes in a cone shaped area infront of thief

Would be nice if this box is a guaranteed drop on every raid boss, or maybe add a repeatable achievement like dungeon frequenter that reward this box for every 3 boss kills.

I feel like it is a mistake, and the next update would replace it with maybe.. a stack of it.

Yep, if it hadnt include carapace armor and mastery point i wouldnt bother, the ls2 were just meh, and the first few episodes showing too much of romantic scenes. the ls3 is more than awesome nevertheless.

Yeah I agree with the persons above, I also have migraine most of the time after seeing someone who have too many visual effects from infusion/aura/backpack and also would like an option hide other people backpack, this is why i rarely equip backpack skin other than the skin from crafting discipline/quaggan since other people’s wings are detering my view especially on jumping puzzle/raid.

1. Help kovach maintain his lodge : when you are supposed to catch the frozen keg, no matter if you stand inside or a little bit outside of the range where Volden will land his kegs your character cant just catch it, this was fixed few weeks ago when i leveled my alts through wayfarer foothils, but it’s bugged again, since wayfarer is a starting map, the bug like this make the new players confused and will create a bad first impression.

2. the area around and inside the jumping puzzle with knockbacking raven is too bright.

I really hope they split the balancing for pve, pvp, and wvw. i still remember they nerfed longbow DH and traps back then because of wvw, still a little bit upset about it, anyway why the devs so silent about this?

I couldnt agree more, but for those who concern about the needs of gearing alts with at least greens,
1. why don’t anet put blues and greens(yellow and exotic excluded) equipments on armor and weapon vendor ? they only sell white equipments, which players who above lv 20 wouldnt care, much less lv 80. this is one of the reason i was confused where to spend my gold for better armor and weapon when i was f2p player. so i agree with removing blues and greens equipment from loot table in end game content.

2. remove all blues and green from loot table, but instead give different bag of masterwork gear that only contain 1 green armor, that way it still can be stacked but not with the other normal bag of masterwork gear that contains 3 armors.

Few weeks ago I gender swapped my druid from male to female, but then I forgot she still has her former name, it’s very strange to run around as her with a male name, I would be very grateful if someone gift me name change contract

Odds, though people’s opinion is differs, I for one love the human male voice because it adds immersion to the game and they are voiced by an awesome voice actor, while i find human female voice is lack of ‘life’. and I also like Norn voices for both gender.

it might sound stupid eventhough the character have gliders but they still scream as if they are gonna die, but idk, adding it back to the game might be good for lulz since i never got a chance to play this game before HoT came out so i never heard the screaming.

You know what you wont get anywhere above 60 fps in gw2, especially not with AMD CPU, but with what you have you should be atleast getting 40 fps with few setting on high while the rest are medium, low or off. i have fx6300 and am getting 50fps on open world, 30 on silverwastes, 20 on verdant brink, 40 on other HoT Maps. lowering some setting actually only increase performance very slightly. things to note before you boot up gw2 is make sure no programs are running other that gw2.

Yup same problem here! I thought my connection was borked

the only thing i dissapointed from HoT is that, it doesnt add many contents for its pricetag, the story are too short and seems rushed. frustrating map to navigate through(tangled depths) i barely touch adventure after I earn the mastery for it because they dont provide enough rewards for the effort, I hope that the new xpac doesnt only focus on lv 80 map, but also add mid-level zones .

I agree with you, i always like to make my character fit into the game world in every game, so the wings backpack and the wings glider is really immersion breaking for me eventhough i have one, as for the particle you can solve it by setting the animation to low, because i never find it cool more like annoying to have particle effect around the characters, especially with the unique infusion we have now.

During the very first chapter of Iron legion warband’s personal story, where our PC is making some sort of ghostbanisher musket thing, i noticed that all of my skill slost are unlocked as well as the elite slot, i thought it was already unlocked but i just didnt notice because i was busy leveling, was level 12 at that time and I didnt quite remember at which level the utility slots started to unlock, i can pick the skills in the corresponding slots except the elite slot which i thought it might be glitched im not even lv 31 afterall. as I completed the story, the slots is carried over to pve i can use the utility but i cant change them which made me suspicious, and i checked wiki and find out my level is not high enough to unlock utility slots.

Not just ghost, but some sort of leyline anomaly or vale guardian randomly appears for a few seconds when i was doing random event in verdant brink, you know like erecting tower for ordnance corps, it seems that the anomalies are using emote /sad when they spawn and then vanishes when i get to near them.

as a Raider myself, to keep the raid reward exclusive to raiders it would be better if the said reward track is only unlockable once you killed every raid bosses there is, and make the track unrepeatable, and only reward 20 magnetite shards per tier with the final reward is the white mantle skin itself,

Hmm weird since Living World Season 2 I have yet to see the NPC died, not even once, and Marjory was quite helpful as she keep reviving me quite fast in the last chapter.

Nope just one map. The thing to the left is a guild hall and the one above the new map is the raid.

B-but…those look like the exact same size as Silverwastes or DT… That must be the largest guild hall and raid map ever in the game, if they are the same size as a full-fledged PvE map. ;/

you mean these zones? it’s a raid zone, and the one in the left is Lost precipice guild hall

I can see that legendary weapon will be mandatory for some PUG or Guild for their members to participate in their Raid Squad if Anet buffs the Legendary weapon in the future. crafting full ascended armor + trinkets is a lot of work, if this happens people would just put legendary weapon as a requirement to join their Raid group. not a best decision.

as far as I remember, what i can tell from the dialogue in Heart and Minds is that as soon as our character fall to the pit to meet Trahearne, Commander said that “There is battle outside” what I assume is that Laranthir and the pact are commanding to attack Mouth of Mordremoth while our Commander is fighting Mordy’s Mind.

Same goes for another game dev tbh, dota2 for example. they pretty rarely hear and respond to their own forum and instead implement suggestion from reddit that barely a day old suggestion. but at least anet do respond to their own forum regularly.

It has been bugging me for too long after i get stronghold mode in matchmaking often lately i think i need to post this now.
can you please rework how the mist champion communing begin? because this mode is one sided if one of the team were busy defending lord, while team defending their lord enemy team control most of the map and then 2 mist champion communing spawn and of course enemy can get those pretty easily. my suggestion is that hold the communing to not spawn while either lords were getting stormed

Black Citadel, Rata Sum, Malchor Leap and Tangled Depths, the easiest would be Dragon Stand for Hot, and Queensdale for core

Sleepwalker.1398:

hey I just want to ask you something. do you do Dragon Stand map often? I was doing it and getting lots of crashes after logging off. Got a support ticket and in mean time I started a new character and everything was fine till yesterday when there was a Dragon stand daily. After going therer and back, same crash error, repair window.

you should start your own thread so that everyone can see and they might have a better solution -
yes I do on a weekly basis, never have a problem with the said map, try to use -repair on guild wars 2 shortcut.

Yet another vip membership thread, we have similar topic about this 2 weeks ago, many are disagree

Thanks for the reply, though i just fixed it by deleting GuildWars2 folder ( that contains local.dat) in AppData/Roaming, my local file must be corrupted and I already completely uninstall guild wars 2 from my system because whenever I try to install the game as if the setup knew i had installed gw2 in the past.

bumping for help

Uninstalled the game due to some problem that the launcher refused to launch me to the game saying that it was unable to verify gw2 executable, but now i face a new problem, as soon as I click on gw2setup, this one pops up
i cant even install the game…

Kodama.6453:

Anet seem to want engi pistol to be a hybrid weapon. With that in mind, you should add some conditions to the skill you suggested. And it would be nice to keep the poison (even if the pistol 2 skill is really unreliable).

And the flamethrower idea: you could add the might stacking to flamethrower 4 which already is a fire field. Why should we have 2 burning applying fire fields on the same kit? Better keep the blind on 5 which is instacast and add something to napalm.

Oh i forgot about that, it should apply stacks of bleeding, about the 4th skill it just comes to my mind that it should be reworked too because the fire field in 4th were just too small that sometimes it’s a hit and miss when i try to use blast finisher with flamethrower 2nd skill, replace that with fiery vertical line( like that mordrem sniper use) but not a fire field if that possible, thing is the new skill effect added in HoT is such a high quality while the effect the skill our character produce is in such low quality, i want a rework in term of the skill while also reworking its effect. just my 2 cents

Heya!

I don’t want to insult anyone here, but those must be some weird people that told you that. o.O

• Engi is good-masterrace in dungeons, depending on the dungeon.
• For Fractals, he’s absolute masterrace, no question in that.
• For Raids, there are specific situations where Engis shine and while still being over average on every single encounter, the Ele meta is unbeatable.

---

Some small skill changes won’t change that, since it’s not our lack of damage, rather the lack of a group wide buff that makes us a solid pick. Check this thread out, it would immediately fix the problem Engis have nowdays:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/engineer/Expert-Examination-change-fix-Engi-in-Raids/first#post6210631

Greez!
- Ziggy

those come from my guildies and also player in map chat said that they never want to take an engineer, a ranger and a necromancer in a group if possible, engineer is still good in pvp but in pve, engineer damage output is laughable and whenever one is in our dungeon group, engineer usually die first, thats why i think some engineer skills need to be reworked or even a little buff to some specializations

I heard quite a lot from people that Engineer is useless profession both in dungeon, fractal or even raid, which pretty saddening that considering Engineer is one of my favorite profession and it looks pretty cool but most of the skills are meh, so here are the suggestions that will helps Engineer to be useful again,
Pistol 3rd skill changed to : Hail of Bullets - Fires three consecutive cones of bullets. The second cone being the most damaging(only when using dual pistol), and move original 3rd skill of pistol to 2nd. 15 seconds cooldown. this skill is taken from Zane and Kernan in Forsaken Thicket
Flamethrower 5th Skill changed tol : Flak Shots Fire a fiery flak shot, Flak Shot deposits fire fields on the ground which give a stack of burning per pulse to foes standing in them and stack of might to allies per pulse, 10 pulses and come with 3 charges with 1 second cooldown in between(just like Mesmer’s mantra but without initial casting time) 60 Seconds cooldown. taken from Sabetha and Narella

feel free to add your own suggestion(if any) of rework for Engineer.

i for one dont like any items or weapon that gives too much custom effect so never bothered to get any thing in legendary rariry, getting a full set of ascended armors on each profession type and its weapon is enough to say that it has been a succesfull gaming for me

bloodlust gives you 10% increased damage at maximum stacks considering your base power is 2500, sigil of force add 5% to your current power so it gives you around 125 power before reduction, cmiiw if you really want to have the highest dps output try combine bloodlust with sigil of air(if you have high critical chance).

Thanks for the helpful reply everyone, now i can roleplay as a Kernan

i have the screenshot, but not in the scoreboard and it’s the second matches, though this will expose the name of the guild, and i dont know whether arenanet allows that

here is my suggestion : give an account a quota like 2000 gems which reset per 3 months, should one exceed their quota the number of gold needed to exchange with gem will be increased for 50% until their quota has been resetted, quota can be resetted early if they trade gems to gold the same amount for example 2000 gems for x amount of gold.

please dont, there is marjory x kasmeer and caithe x faolain romance, those should be enough.

today i just got matched against with the same guild i fought yesterday, it’s funny that in the scoreboard this time everyone on my team were also solo queuers! pvp in some other games i played never put solo queuer against 5-man stack but gw2 is different, i better stick with pve from now on

this is frustrating, most unabalanced thing ever, i get matched with everyone on my team are in the same profession and yet we have to face against 5-man team that is in the same guild well of course they ended up stomping my team since they have better communication and none of my team is not even in the party.

i currently want to make a new toon with engineer profession, but first i need to collect all the required skins that will fit with the engineer and i stumbled upon this one, what is the name of the skin in the picture? it looks like the one that bandit sapper’s use in spirit vale

I also dont like how anet portray too much of the said relationship in season 2, even my friend was like “???” when he plays the entire season 2 watching kasmeer and marjory. just my 2 cents
