Guild Wars 2

Not sure if it’s already been mentioned (there’s a LOT to read here). What about the riding broom as a glider skin?

Danikat.8537:

Ranger called Bear Grylls, with a bear called Lil Grylls.

And various ravens called Quoth, which I like to assume is always a Discworld reference. Then one called Paraphrase.

Quoth is a reference to Edgar Allen Poe’s poem called “The Raven”. Which is also what the new staff “Nevermore” is based on (hence why it has become a more popular name since release of HoT). It’s also the name of my raven too.

Think my fav pet’s name is Puff the Magic Dragon… guess what it was.

I purchased one of these, assuming, given the cost, was a shared bag slot. Very disappointed when I discovered it was a single inventory slot.

I will make sure to read the description very carefully in future, and will think twice before spending money on GW2 now too.

The shared slot is very useful for my salvage o matic though.

Another thing that may be relevant to the issue. After getting to character selection (if you can) any characters you attempted to login to, and failed shows 0% map completion. Hope this helps anyone trying to fix the issue.

Same problem here. I have opened a support ticket with Arenanet, will post here if I get a response.

Transmutation charges can be farmed quite easily. Create a new character and complete the fastest cities to complete (Rata Sum, The Grove, Div’s Reach, Black Citadel), delete the character, rinse and repeat (but don’t forget to double click the Transmutation charges in your inventory first). You can usually get your 6 transmutation charges in 1.5 – 2 hrs without even thinking about it. There’s no fighting involved either.

If you do this on a character you want to keep all the better, you get a fair bit of XP for it too

If you’re on an EU server pm me in game, I’ll run you through my transmute routes if you want.

Gift of Exploration earned Pre-patch won’t stack with any earned Post-Patch either. Is this by design?

The interesting one was on Tuesday. I was in teamspeak with a Guildy in new zealand, both of us in Div’s Reach. When I disconnected he said how for a few seconds he was the only one stood there at Ministers Waypoint. It was almost like the whole of Europe went offline for a second but not New Zealand o.O

Little trick not many seem to know about…

1. Open the folder containing the picture you want a larger version of (not maximised).
2. Open Google image search in chrome (not sure if this works in other browsers), again, not maximised.
3. Put the two windows beside each other then drag and drop the picture file from the folder window to the search box in google image search.

The file will then be uploaded and “visually similar images” will then be displayed.

Good suggestions

Add to them one for Autotargeting on/off, possibly a keybind too. I along with many others use autotargeting a lot, turning it off to use certain mobility skills like Ride the Lightning can be a bit of a pain under the current setup.

All the best from here in the UK.

Hope all goes well, and look forward to seeing you in game again soon

Aww, poor thing.

Something weird happened to me the other day too. I was running around Fireheart Rise, and my Mini Jack A Lop took burning damage and died. It was horrible, he screamed just like bunnies do when they are killed

PS: I know it’s a difficult time but given the number of the deceased that are returning to our world at the moment, may I suggest a cremation.

I’ll have to admit I haven’t read through every single post in this thread but just want to add my 2 cents as a software developer myself. Rule of thumb is never EVER release big new content shortly ahead of public holidays unless it is absolutely crucial. The reasons for this have already been highlighted in this thread.

Now you may also complain that Wintersday is a “rehash” of last year/the year before. From my point of view (I could be wrong), this is simply because the content has already been used and thus thoroughly tested in a production environment, therefore will require minimal support over the festive period.

Please forgive me if you feel I am stating the obvious, but given the variety of ages of forum users some may not find this that obvious.

I just finished doing this today. 1-15 zones and all cities got me to lvl 32 quite easily. This does include xp for dailies and the odd event that I stumbled across while mapping (probably about 15-20) too tho ;-)

I think that’s a great idea. It won’t affect me but there is someone in my guild who is strongly affected by spiders, it would definitely help him enjoy the game more and participate in a certain guild event.

Probably unlikely we would see this in game but would definitely be a welcomed addition to a lot of players.

20 slot accountwide bag. When bought this will add a new slot to the bottom of each character’s inventory and equip the bag. All items in this bag will be accessible from all characters on the account via the same bag.

This would not be cheap due to the price of new inventory bag slots, but would be very useful for storing things such as the infinite use salvage kits, tonics, black lion salvage kits, brooms, magic carpets, etc…

aerial.7021:

• All those (other) characters on your account that share the same home instants can be found in various places, when you walk about.

And you can talk to them to collect items left on that character without relogging. For example, when you left the Copper fed salvage o matic on another char, you can visit them in the home instance to collect that item.

This would make the Home Instance gem store item waaaay more useful.

It’s always good to see the odd post of appreciation. I have been playing since launch and have been disappointed with ANet’s decisions once or twice. But all in all it’s a great game and as it stands at the moment I can’t think of anything I’d want changed.

As a developer myself I can understand that there are certain users that see no reason why they must have this or can’t have that. All I can say to them is, until you understand the underlying systems and technical limitations of it, please have a little more patience. In the software business there can be a lot of unforeseen issues that don’t become apparent until the development phase has begun.

Again, good job ANet and keep up the good work.

Dude! That is incredible, you must be well pleased

Shut down the game and the terrorists win

But seriously, I saw an epic effort to try to down Jormag tonight in spite of the lag and disconnects people were experiencing. I say kitten the DDOS! It’s not going to stop us from playing!

I agree, I was part of the effort to kill Jormie in that attempt, after 3 complete disconnects and a spawn into an empty map, I started the fight again on my own. Gradually a lot of frustrated players joined in a we took that baby down with 3 minutes to spare

Probably the most fun and challanging Jormie fight I’ve had since the megaservers were released

Wow, why has nobody thought of this before, what a great idea. Even if it just gives a single boost like the communal boost bonfire, it would be great for RPers exploring the world to be able to set up camp and sit around sharing stories.

tonyrebel.7513:

thanks for the replies guys , i just purchased the game and i really didnt want it too be a let down seeing that i enjoyed guildwars 1 .

Play it, enjoy it, and ignore all the bad comments on other websites. It’s a great game

I have done over 1500 hrs and only just did the high lvl dungeon (Arah) for the first time last night. But it all depends on your playstyle and what parts of the game you are interested in.

Good time to buy today though while it’s half price.

Just something that popped into my head while reading this, not sure if it’d work or not.

Maybe add your other characters to the home instance so you can trade items with them (i.e. if you forgot to transfer your Salvage o Matic you could talk to the character in your home instance to collect it). This would save having to clear bank space and relog twice to transfer your gear/minis/gathering tools/etc… between characters.

Technically not a comment but the guy in Divinitys Reach coughing is quite annoying.

My favorite which properly made me laugh out loud has to be the random “I… enjoy pie”

Here’s my warrior.

Here’s what you do if you don’t like WvW:

Every day you log in don’t do anything until you get something in WvW if your side owns something you don’t have at the time. Some days it will just be a POI in a camp. Other days you’ll get lucky and get a castle or one day you’ll get SMC. And if you’re lucky, your side is doing really well and you have a lot of stuff.

If you see your side has SMC, immediately get into WvW and head there. It is the hardest thing to flip.

POI’s and Vistas not inside of castles or keeps.

Especially now with free repairs, just run in to get them! Do this is especially on maps that the enemy owns primarily. Why? Camps aren’t where zergs gather in maps they own a lot of. They’re in a castle or keep so that they don’t have to worry about getting attacked without plenty of notice.

It took me about 2-3 weeks of casual play to get it. And don’t like WvW all that much. It was more fun than I imagined it would be, but not something I do at all regularly or for all that long.

Exactly this is how I did it. If you’re working towards a legendary, start early on. You will definitely have it mapped out by the time you need it.

I know it’s not always possible during the week, but my server (Gunnars Hold) have been doing a world tour at reset (1am GMT) for a quite a while now. It’s worth doing just for the social aspect. I usually get around 120 – 150 Dragonite Ore per night.

This won’t help if you don’t like zergs or doing world boss / temple events but it’s definitely a fast way to get dragonite if you don’t want to do wvw. I got a full set of ascended armour and GS doing this over the course of a few weeks.

I am very interested to learn dungeons too. I have 8 lvl 80s (one of each class) but my warrior is my main. I only started dungeons last night, doing paths 1 and 2 of AC but feel that I was hindering the group more than helping sometimes lol.

Thanks
