Guild Wars 2

Thanks for the input!
Can’t wait to see the patch now, anytime now

Jornophelanthas.1475:

You should probably read this developer post:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Customer-Support-and-the-Feature-Pack

Yeah I have seen this info.

I can get a refund if I am not happy with the way the item functions or I have duplicates.

Still this half answers my 2. question, maybe a dev could comment on 1. and 3.?

Rebound.3409:

If u tend to be a practical person, it’s very easy. Ask yourself this:
1. Do i still like this?
2. Do i use this?
3. How much time (/year) do i use this?

You will most likely answer yourself the question. Never put others to take decisions for u because u risk of feeling disappointing after.

1. Of course I still like ’em.
2. I will occasionally use these after the patch goes live since you can wear town clothes in combat.
3. see 2.

I never asked others to take decisions for me …
Please read my questions again

Hey there guys,

I know there are a couple of thread already out there, but I am confused so maybe someone can answer my question…

I have several characters in “mix n match” town clothing.
1. I will attach some pictures below, so maybe you guys can tell me what will happen to these “combos”? Will they simply not work after the patch?

2. I read that I can get a refund on them, but I am debating on whether or not I should do that. Would I be eligible and for what items?

3. Also there are two types of witch’s hats, gw2 hat and gw2 t-shirt … what will happen to those? Will they become tonics?

Sorry for asking a billion questions at once …

Thanks in advance guys! (Can’t wait for the patch)

“If I understand what people are saying, and I may be wrong, many people are treating ranks as more of a lifetime achievement. That is certainly something to consider in regards to the future reward system replacing them.”

Ranks are a lifetime achievement though. In GW1 /rank was a huge deal. I would like to continue playing pvp and eventually get all the finishers needed.

Maybe we can still have glory on the side just for the purpose of ranking and having the finishers (or at least just the finishers). The planned system is nice, however pvp in Guild Wars has always been about ranks (and more specifically the awesome emotes that only a handful of people have). I mean nobody has the dragon right? Removing ranks before someone gets it means we will never see it.

I am a baby pvper and I am still learning lots and these upcoming changes excite me, however on the other hand I am being put off and it really bothers me that I wouldn’t be able to progress my rank as it is now…

Just saying and hope this helps some way

I am not assuming anything

I saw the data mined precursor hunts, however I was referring to their promise of “new legendary weapons and new types of legendary gear in 2013.”.

I do realise they can ninja it in a patch as a surprise. However I was hoping they would add them this upcoming patch. I mean it’s not really a living story one (except the new added fractals, thanks to Kiel), so it made sense for them to add the new legendary stuff now…

Either way I have hopes they will add them by the end of 2013, all I was saying is that it seems unlikely, simply because the next patch will be coming out on November 26th then two weeks later on December 10th and then on December 24th.
I can’t see them not releasing the Wintersday patch on the 10th. Simply because they won’t wait till December 24th.

I just hope they keep their promise and I am being as optimistic as possible (while being a realist).

Please ANet, we’re waiting

67 views and no replies?

I at least hope some devs looked at this :P

The only thing I am asking for is confirmation that someone is aware and possibly working (or at least planning to) on a fix for this.

Anyway sorry for the bump.

Have a good one guys.

“On top of this, you’ll also see new legendary weapons and new types of legendary gear in 2013.” – https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/looking-ahead-guild-wars-2-in-2013/

Ok, I do realise that the 2013 is not yet over. However, the next patch “Fractured” mentions no such implementations. At the same time the patch after that will most likely be a Wintersday one such as last year and in previous GW1 Decembers.

I really hope that they add some new legendary items by the end of the year. Please, please ANet, add them

Much Love,

Dim

Kaoru Shige whisper this guy when he is on…

Same here dude! I also need it, so when I see you online, expect a whisper

This is my suggestion

This is how it looks like

Hey all,

Well the legendary update a couple of months back was the thing I waited for. I loved the idea of a t3 wearing asura guard wielding a disco mace…

However …
When not using it, the mace is perfectly round. This as you would expect should be the case with the weapon when it is wielded. On every other race (and I mean every) the Moot is perfectly round when wielded, but not with asuras.

I understand that all weapons scale and “grow” when wielded on an asura. I get that. My problem is that it is more of an egg shape. It can still grow and be larger, but perfectly round. I understand the devs are busy doing stuff, but the legendary update was supposed fix some legendaries. Now when the Moot was mentioned I was really happy and then I logged on and was quite disappointed.

As you understand, a legendary takes a part of your soul to make, so PLEASE, I beg you, please fix this.

My suggestion is to extend the sides. The part where the hilt connects to the ball and the top of the ball is good, but the sides are squished. There must be a way of fixing this without messing up the sheathed version. I am not a programmer, so I don’t know how long this would take, but I am sure it is possible.

Many (if not all of you) are wandering why I waited so long to post this, since the legendary revamp was ages ago… Well I was hoping that with every little patch they would ninja update it, but hey…

Anyway, please fix this as soon as possible Anet.

The pics below show the sheathed and the wielded version, with my suggestion.

Thanks in advance!

Why is that ANET’s fault? If you miss click a billion times, it is completely your fault. If you have bad internet connection, just learn from your mistake and stop clicking. It isn’t rocket science …
I am very pleased they added this feature, even though I have like 6 bank tabs … I am all for it and if you complain, you should find something more useful to do …

It is not the devs’ fault for adding a feature that can potentially mean a “gold sink” for the ones that can’t control their spendings … The option is there for people who need it, nobody is forcing you to use it, or misuse it …

Bottom line is, it is a brilliant feature, that many are grateful for … If you can’t use it properly and don’t appreciate it, then it’s only your fault …

Thank You ANET, for the implementation of something useful for the people with self-control!

Haters gonna hate

We have! That isn’t the point … The forums should be working, why am I forced to use google when I should be simply able to use “Search” ??

Search is broken dude … Not sure why you call it lazy, since it’s not lazy, but non existent … Been this way for a while for me …

I am sorry to hear about this … I am not personally affected by this particular bug, but I am by other visual bugs …
Yeah I really hope they fix this and many other visual stuff, as it looks terrible …
Your character actually looks pretty dope, so I could see why you are ticked off …
Good luck man, hope they fix it

Another thought:

I am not a programmer and I have no clue about how this should be done, but surely they can make a “code” (or whatever I have no clue about technicalities) that would turn the radiant glove texture to a pink ghostly version (on the phantasm) when a Mesmer has them equipped. Just instead of white emitting light, have it pink and the metal is as easy as the rest of the armor in you actual Mesmer.
Don’t know how long it would take, but I presume it can be done within a week or two. Don’t know how much resources and personnel it would take, but again people buy a ton of gems to support the game, so I see no problem with them “fixing” it.
I mean how hard can it be?

I hope the patch on the 23rd fixes things … Stealth I don’t mind that much, but phantasms … Instead of overwriting the textures, why don’t they simply put the gloves on them. As in not make them pink and see-through, but just put the gloves on them. That way we won’t have the weird face boxes on our hands at least.
Yes it will look weird to see a pink ghostly figure with metal plated gloves that glow, but I would much prefer that than the boxes …

Any thoughts?

I noticed how people mentioned stealth, so I decided to try it …. Here it is:

Man, you’d think that at least some testing will be done on these gloves before making them available to the player-base. I would understand if it was a bug with a single skill on one profession … But this is a huge deal. No matter what build a mesmer uses, they will still use phantasms. And we have to look at this every time we “spawn” one. It looks terrible … Please Anet, please fix this as soon as possible. Make a mini patch and fix the crazy issues with both gloves on all characters. I hope it’s not too much to ask …

Well title says it all …

I really like the gloves on my mesmer, but this is just plain unacceptable …

If you wait long enough you see your character’s face morph into the “boxes” around your character’s arms ….

This is uncool, please fix asap …

Your work is not only amazing, but is also inspirational!! I am currently trying to perfect (much like you) my digital painting skills.

I don’t want to bother you too much, as this is extremely off-topic, but I wanted to take this opportunity to ask a professional:

• What software/hardware do you use? (I am guessing photoshop and a tablet?)
• Could you recommend any source where I could look up tutorials or anything technique-wise?

Thanks very much in advance and keep up the awesome work!!!

Hello all,

I was incredibly bored at work and with an hour and half left, with nothing to do I decided to download the official “Guild Wars 2 Access Kit HD” which includes some official concept art in a psd format.

I decided to just add all the possible members of “Destiny’s Edge” (excluding Caithe, as she wasn’t in the files ). It is nothing more than a collage and is hardly anything special, but I just wanted to see how everyone would look together and scaled decently. The end result wasn’t too great, but hey like I said it’s for fun

I am in the middle of working on perfecting my skills at digital painting using my “Wacom Intuos 4” and I found this very inspirational!

Again, it is nothing special and just for kicks (and it took me about 2 min to do), but here it is

ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO “ARENA NET” AND I DID NOT CREATE ANY OF THESE

PS. - I noticed that I made Zojja and her golem a little too big (mostly the golem as Zojja seems ok compared to say Logan), while the others seem kind of in perspective

I think that if they add them as a gem store skin (such as the existing 3) they would be doing themselves a favor.

As for the looks, people have different opinions. I think that this is based on wether your character is male or female and what race and profession they are. Also the player’s taste.

I personally create armor combos too, but for my engi, I would like the full medium set. Again of course some people might not like them, but a lot will, so adding them to the gem store is the best imo, since people will buy gems to support the game (hopefully Anet and not NCsoft, as they will put the money towards a deferent game which would suck imo).

Bottom line is I hope it’s a gem store skin

Hello dudes and dudettes,

I was just wandering what your thoughts were on the Steampunk-ish new armors.

How do you think they will be made accessible for the players?
Do you think they might be a gem store purchase or another type of RNG acquisition?
Maybe you think that they will be rewarded after completing a one of the things you need to do for the achievements?

I am interested to see what you think about them as well … I am leaning towards the medium set atm, as I would very much like it on my engi.

Long story short:
How would one get such an armor in your opinion?
What do you think about each set, according to your race and sex?
(My opinion = HEAVY/terrible, MEDIUM/I like it, LIGHT/decent, but meh)

You can find the armors on youtube and the official ANet post.

Hey MakeitNeil, just wandering what your thoughts are on my reply, or even anything new you might add? It’s bee a while

RE Greyalis:

Not bad (dude, dudette ?), I like it a lot.

However, I think that there are enough greatswords at the moment and need more other weapons. I mean if a new batch of legendaries hit us, then sure I would be interested in this snake GS, but personally, from the “gentle” and elegant nature of “Crone’s Child”, I would much rather see it as a single handed sword, fit for a mesmer or a thief.

But hey, that’s just my opinion …

RE: Kal Spiro

I like to have Barrage too. I was just about to ask op about how he/she thinks this “active”/“passive” auto attack would work as I can’t see it.

Now, I also agree that we need rapid fire (along with Barrage) and point blank shot.

Again, I was about to say that “some” of the op’s ideas are good and some need polishing. I can acknowledge that different people have different play styles, but I was talking about the “whole” of the longbow. I think that if each auto attack increases crit chance by 5% and caps at 60 or something, then that would be useful, as if you think about it, if that chance resets if any other skill is used, that would not be overpowered, but at the same time it will be useful.

I like my necro too, but at the moment I just use a guardian and a mesmer mostly.

I am glad that you see the frustration

I love the Guild Wars series and have played the fist game (with all of it’s campaigns) for 6 years. Man I wish they fix this stuff soon. A little off topic, I am sure you would agree that necro needs a better UI for minions (an example out the top of my head, but you could probably think of more as you main it).

So yeah if anyone at ANet sees this,
P L E A S E D O S O M E T H I N G

Love your game, but no harm in “improving” certain things (certainly no harm in talking about ’em)!

Besides, how does your argument about the “dedicated anything” add to the topic? I fail to understand that. Please clarify

RE: Gnat

Maybe you are right about how Mesmers and Guards might be more “desirable” (also my experience as I main both of them), however this is not what the thread is about.

I was just saying that what the OP posted was a good idea – and that is, to “change” how viable the longbow is. You see for aesthetics and other various reasons, we are discussing the Ranger. Now, if a ranger is kitten at using a longbow (which some may argue that it is), that wouldn’t be appealing to play the class, for some. I know there are a lot of rangers using axe/torch, warhorn and other weapons, but I would PERSONALLY (and from what I have already gathered the OP and a lot of other people) prefer to use a Longbow. Shortbow is ok at the moment, but like I said this is specifically about the longbow.

The stealth mechanic is interesting, but at the moment I would like to see a longbow change and what the OP has offered seems interesting and could actually work as it is quite realistic.

On the other hand, what you are suggesting or what other people are saying, is for people to run using berserker gear. I don’t like that, simply because one might NOT want to run berserker gear. This is out of the question as it pigeon-holes people to use certain gear, which means that they have no choice. This would suck, as people might want run with other gear, for build purposes or for survival, etc.
Making people get gear to be viable or be ing the “meta” is not a good move. In fact it is quite a turn-off.

IMO it is much easier to just “fix” the longbow, again one example would be what the OP suggested.

If/When this happens I would be more compelled to play my ranger.

No hard feelings

+1 this is a good idea,
maybe they can add kit “slots” so you could have a variety, for example:
if using the bomb kit, you could acquire a couple of different looking bomb kits and simply pick one to roam with and when you get bored switch it out … kits that have different cosmetics to them but do the same thing basically.

So adding two to three visuals for each kit would be kitten awesome!

+1 what a great idea!!

+1, I like the idea of both dungeon implementation of super rare skins and weapon contests for legendaries and such … Played GW1 for 6 years, so I would love to see some old GW1 skins …

Man, this is a great suggestion ..

I have kind of abandoned my lvl 80 ranger … I have 6 other 80s to play with (and another one rising) but I wish ranger was more viable using the kitten longbow.

Stealth is a good idea too, but I guess we can’t implement too much of it, as it will be quite op, so if a few utilities (like the mesmer) provide stealth that would be great

+1 all the way and I hope more people see this!!

Hey dude,

I think that future races are quite possible. I am die hard fan of Guild Wars and having played the first game (and all expansions) for 6 years, this is what my opinion is:

Cantha:
For those who don’t know, Cantha is a big continent with an Asian theme. The Tengus are often seen there and I believe they will be a future race, when (and I really do believe ANet will) add the Cantha continent, we might be able to play as a Tengu (besides they look awesome).
Another thing that lead me to believe this is that you can see a huge wall in Lion’s Arch that also shows in the Sylvari starting zone. It is said that there are Tengus living there and Tengus are also guarding it, so I believe they could add them (I really hope they do)!

Along with that in the original Guild Wars, in Cantha we saw Ritualists. I don’t think they will go through the trouble of making remaking rits, since necros and engis are similar, but we never know. We also had Assassins, but that is a no, since Thieves exist.

Elona:
For those who don’t know Elona (African themed) is another continent located directly below Tyria, and you can see a little bit of it in the bottom right corner of the map.

I don’t know any realistic race that could be added here, but people have mentioned centaurs. I don’t see it, but it’s a maybe (I highly doubt it)!

As for professions, Arena Net can add both the paragon and the dervish.
The Paragon wears heavy armor and uses shouts, while wielding a spear and a shield. They throw their spear, and that could be interesting, as (in my opinion) we need another heavy armored profession.
The Dervish wears light armor (using a hood) and fights using a Scythe, while casting enchantments and praying. That would also be interesting to see in an Elonian expansion.

My personal favorite is the paragon and I REALLY hope they add him.

The problem is that the existing Guardian (also my favorite on par with mesmer) is a hybrid between Guild Wars’ monk, paragon, dervish and warrior. So both dervish and paragon are a long shot, but I would love to see them both (mostly paragon)!

As for expansions in general, there are still A LOT of areas on the map that haven’t been uncovered. Maybe they will reveal them just like they did with the Lost Shores event, one at a time and once a month, or they will release an expansion like “Eye of The North”. I think before they start adding more continents, they should first uncover the whole existing map.
Then the most logical thing is to add Elona (since it’s located directly under Tyria) and then Cantha. They could also possibly add a new continent.

Frankly, I think that the devs should concentrate on polishing the Game first and then add new contents. I would possibly like to see a major expansion this time next year as I am willing to pay for it :P

This was planned as a fourth expansion for the original Guild Wars (before they scrapped it and started work on Guild Wars 2). It is an Aztec continent and has 2 new professions – the Chronomancer (time-mage) and Summoner (a summoner haha).

Hope this was a good read!

Thank You, very much dude. I really appreciate the answer and I am probably getting the second one.
Again thank You for the quick reply and have a great holiday :P

Thanks!

Basically what the title says …
I have two pc configurations and I am stuck between them. My goal is to play PvE on ultra settings, while still being able to play WvW without any fps drops below 30 fps.

These are the two:

1. Active Game Station i5 – 3470
Intel DH77KC
CPU: Intel i5-3470 3.20GHz 6MB 77W S1155
FAN: Intel Genuine (BOXED) cooler
RAM: 8GB DDR-III 1600 MHz
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB, 64MB cache, 7200 rpm
VC: Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 VAPOR-X GDDR5 1GB
CD: DvD RW/DvD R9/DvD-RAM
LAN: Gigabit (10/100/100MB)
Sound: Intel HD
Case: COOLERMASTER K280

2. Asus – MAXIMUS V GENE, Z77 DDR III 2800 (O.C.)/1333, HDMI, DP, eSATA, LGA1155
CPU: Intel CORE i5-3570K, 3.40GHz, 6MB, BOX, LGA1155
FAN: COOLERMASTER – Hyper 212 Evo, sAll CPU, 600-1600 rpm, 9-31 dB
RAM: GEIL 2X8GB DDR III 1600 EVO CORSA
HDD: WD 1024MB 64MB SATA III BLACK
VC: Sapphire 2048M HD7870 GHz Edition DDR5 PCI-E 3.0
DVD/CD/RW: Sony, DVD-RW AD-7280S, SATA, Black
Power and Case: SEASONIC – SS-660XP Platinum
THERMALTAKE – Commander USB 3.0, VN400A1W2N, w/o PSU

As you can see, the second configuration is better, however it is pricier.
Basically I would like to know which would be better and by how much? Would the 1st option be viable to play PvE on Ultra along with WvW with a good 30 (not below) fps?
Is there that much of a significant difference between the two? Which one would you recommend?

I would like to know if I can purchase the cheaper one (the first configuration) and not be sorry that I didn’t spend the extra (I am on a tight budget). How big is the difference between the two and would I be able to achieve my goal of perfect PvE and good WvW?

Thank You All in advance!!
