Guild Wars 2

Crossaber.8934:

I wish pre expansion2 players can receive a unigue weapon skin(come in set and choose 1) or armor skin, unobtainable by wardrobe unlock. It is not so much of a work and i will be very happy.

That could be nice, for some reason tho royal guard outfit is obtainable by wardrobe unlock so I bet this would be too.

Yes please pin this, upvote this, let it be known.

I would focus my rework on traits, and give ele more mobility on skills

I’m still wondering why instead of 2 phone apps and Lineage Eternal they can’t get over Tera disaster and make proper Lineage 3…

I looked for it far and wide but couldn’t find bigger than 1920, but I found this http://www.pixelstalk.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/HD-Guild-Wars-2-Pictures.jpg
which was weird because it shows much more area on the left

Royal Guard Outfit is the best example of few items that should not be possible to get anymore.

Wardrobe Unlocks are nice but for free accounts Royal Guard Outfit is also included for free players. A reward for accounts created before August 29, 2015. Just a year after HoT was released they do this to veteran players? This was the one thing we got for buying the core game seperatly for 50€? This is the outfit which should say:
“Wear it with pride whenever you want to show that you were there early on, and that you’re someone that new players can go to for help.” Nah, just stick it to BLC. kitten this.

REMOVE achievement rewards from this kittenty Wardrobe Unlock box and also remove Royal Guard Outfit from loot table.

Wardrobe Unlocks… For free accounts Royal Guard Outfit is also included. A reward for accounts created before August 29, 2015.

When this item was released they stated :
“To celebrate this special three-year anniversary of Guild Wars 2, we’re giving current players an all-new Royal Guard Outfit. Wear it with pride whenever you want to show that you were there early on, and that you’re someone that new players can go to for help.”

This was reward of buying the game for 50€/$ since it didn’t require you to play the game, if you had account you got outfit. The outfit was the only thing we really got. We still had to pay for expansion the same price.

What the hell, Anet?

They still didn’t include ALL the items in these RNG unlocks, so you say they actually picked these? Including Mini Clockheart, Mini First Mate Horrik, Scarlet’s Veil Skin, Mini Candy Corn Ghoulemental and Mini Queen Jennah?

I tried to enter with my Norn thief and exact same thing happened to me. Floors were missing. I also tried switching graphic setting and entered 3 times and game crashed all times.

- Name : So Ta
- Game mode(s) : PVE, WvW, PvP (if theres any other than healerbot-build effective.)
- Role : Teacher / Tester
- Realm : Seafarer’s Rest
- Other info:
I love this idea so count me in. Ele is my main since start and I have +4000 hours put into it, so I should be able to discuss various tactics. I haven’t done lot of raids but other than that I use rle in everywhere in PVE. I play lot of fractals also. I use all the weapons quite equally nowdays and like to experiment builds for PVP trying to figure effective build as a damage dealer or any other trickster than healbot which I dislike.

My drawing for contest.
Send all your goodies for character: So Ta

I agree it would be so nice to use skeleton tonic with fight. Infinite Watchknight Tonic is usable in fight so why not all humanoid tonics?

I think DR change was great and it works for me at least. Thank you for that.

But I don’t notice any kind of difference in challenge whatsoever. Did you maybe forgot to press some button to change things? 15 people runnin lab killed lich, was easy as ever. Melted like butter. We also had big candy corn + horror at the same time, no challenge there either. Can’t say I’m not disappointed.

number 13
Character: So Ta

This is the best change to WvW since … ever

The hate for elementalists is for real…
Yet there is nothing left to be nerfed anymore maybe we can be happy about that.

Maybe if we just sit few years outside of PVP people stop hating and we may get actual buff on something for once.

This suggestion literally just came to my mind but I just leave it here.

Dont nerf traps cooldowns, damage or anything but change traps to work in 2 phases. This would increase skill floor.

1) lay down trap 2) press trap skill again and it goes BOOM

Group of colorful (dyeable) balloons you can hang on would be super cute
With new animation for it you could also add umbrella gliding like Mary Poppins

+ More emotes (finally!)
+ Salvage all
+ Glider skills
+ Well made, interesting story
+ New map is fabulous
+ Ranger pet names
+ Chaos Fractal
+ Fractal UI
+ PVP UI
+ Agony infusion changes for new players sake.
__________________________________
- Changes on infusions were very confusing to understand
- Fractal Mastery made useless.
- Elementalist cooldown nerfs were overdone and still managed to ruin this update for me. And with this and past nerfs to class it just feels like this class is being hated and bullied.

Many players deleted their main character for this.

My suggestion is to revert cooldown nerf as fast as possible.
Give ele lot more access to conditions. We also love skills with mobility if you really wanna buy ele players back.

It should be nerfed to ground – because its simply too much money for so little effort. I’ve been lazy gamer this summer and still I’m now done with 3 legendaries just because of Tarir multiloot. Simply by doing it once a day nets me ~40 gold worth of ectos and other materials.

And about the keys.. When I do one defend Tarir event/day somehow I end up with more keys than I started with so no point doing events in the map either. Can’t anyway since defend Tarir event is always on. Please nerf multiloot so there is point playing the actual game again.

Its too good. I didn’t like chest farm either but I learnt way to deal with it. I anyway like SW events, and chest farm required you to do events so you can get keys and shovels. But this is ridiculously WAY TOO MUCH LOOT FOR FREE that it’s dumb, just stupid. I can’t believe they haven’t stated anything about this. Why why why they haven’t put stop to it yet?

I have started to think that they did this on purpose so anyone who owns HoT can make easily 10 times more money than free player so everyone have this huge reason to buy expansion… How about they do this on another expansion? But hey – it has to be even easier event and probably more profitable so people will move to this event from Tarir. How about with one simple 5 min event you can net 200 gold. Event rolls all the friggin time. How much fun. 1 gem would cost 1000 gold in no time. Trading post would explode with inflation. Free players would be forced to buy new expansion again. Everyone wins!

(edit: since I finished my 3rd legendary with help of Tarir. 60g/run was too much 40 would be closer but its still waayy too much.

All the time I meant with this amount of loot it should run once a day max. )

For these reasons, measurement of success in game cant be anything but achievement points.

Yes, change it to male version or reshape chestplate to more covering, flat version.

I hoped they would reduce other utility cooldowns too to make something else usable for change but then there is a big NO.

I hated maps before and I actually liked both maps now.
Boring maps = I can’t cheat with map mechanism when I can’t win fights.
Well Boo-hoo.

I like boring maps.. Next thing you can work on is to make 10 vs 10 battles happen and desing some maps for that.

I was about to lose hope if this were to be disaster but now – Soo many good changes what was hoped by community on Class Balance PvP, WvW, skill effects, HoT-maps, new armors, mini pocket raptor, free 1 shared inventory slot – also new test area is awesome. I even like new legendary.

Just saying this at loud: If they buff again all the other classes and then nerf elementalist again without even buffing anything to make it up… Then I’m done with this game.

Also laurels are so easy to come by nowadays it would be mocking to ruin another LS1 item with such a small price.

If old items has to be released, why don’t do like in other games, release same item, but in different color scheme? So when people see blue one they still know its from old dragon bash.

And no, even as a replica color gemstore isn’t way to go. Gemstore items like bunny ears in the other hand needs to be released. Why all the gemstore items doesn’t just stay on all the time I has no idea.

I’m just asking:

If LS1 and all the items with it comes eventually back, what has been a point of me playing since launch?

In this era of Reapers and conditions, I would like to re-think idea of chill affecting Elementalist weapon swap. It does not affect on other classes weapon swap – but it affects on their special abilites such as F1-F2 skills.

This has been discussed 2 years ago, but things have definitely changed since then. Back then everyone was using arcana traitline and chill surely wasn’t as common as it is now.

While using tempest chill should affect on overload, but not on attunement change?
This change would be nice little payback for things we had to give up.

What do you think?

I like it. I usually equip it for silverwastes pre-breach for quickly revive fallen warmaster to full health (water attunement). Very useful when there’s only few players defending and dead warmaster is surrounded by 30 mobs.
Works also great on fallen dolyaks.

Earth attunement is also great for mass-recurrect NPC’s but is used mostly for saving time.

Water attunement-res also might be useful in fractals/dungeons but it’s very situational and most of the time I don’t use it since range of skill is too short. There has been few times when air attunement has saved some of my fellow party members from poison area/aoe of sudden death when it’s too dangerous to go there and res, but this is very rare.

I would increase range of this skill greatly and lower cool down to be 150 sec. Cast time is fine.

We demand more dance styles! … please?

I’d recommend ranger which is easy class to lvl up with with pet and good damage. You could take Greatsword for melee damage. At the end game/PVP you can specialize to druid which is good damage / support class. Race does not matter.

These changes are good and you should feel good.

Because you can have whole enemy team after you whole match while you running in circles, have 0 points and lead you team to victory.

What if I told you….

I move with W-key, and turn by holding mouse right click down all times and moving mouse. I think most of us do it in this way. You cant stop on the snowflakes for more than 1 second. If you turn action camera mode on you don’t even have to press down right click, just turn mouse.

As for settings…You should turn off camera shaking and turn postprocessing off. Put on bright colors or use black so you can clearly see your character. You can also turn off UI since you don’t need it anyway it might help you focus. Swift Moa Feather might give you speed but it’s expensive and probably not worth it.

I logged in and tried to jump using only WASD-keys.. It didn’t go well. Character is turning too slowly that you don’t have enough time on one snowflake to make rapid turn. It might be possible but surely makes things 10 times harder. It’s built by purpose that you should only touch each snowflake and keep jumping. Rotation speed doesn’t affect because you are turning character not the camera. I didn’t find option to turn camera using keyboard so I guess you have to give your mouse a change.

I always has admired GW2 style of gameplay and feel of the world but that was about 60% why I fell in love with this game. Other 40% came from living world season 1 which was constantly evolving with free updates and something interesting extra was always going on – sometimes bunch of things at once. Plenty of achievements to do – Skins which I can earn by playing the game – I had always reason to play.

But then casual players who missed some content were mad and they changed things to release bunch of things at once and leave that content for eternity. But that leads into another problem – when we’re done with content we had nothing to do anymore until long time other bunch of big things happens. So now they release impossible task for us – collect 10,000 of this, spend 1000g on this cosmetic item, or go on and run hardmore dungeon-raids just so we have something to do while waiting.

I agree that HoT itself is way to right direction, but they need to do heavy thinking on where to lead the game and focus with serious balance update and bug fixing. Also they have to try save whatever we have left of our WvW.

I’ll tell you a secret. There is actually a way this time. You all add others as a friends, create party, all join in toypocalypse and open friend page, right click your friend and click “join your friend in pvp” Sometimes this sends you to same map as your friend, most time it doesn’t.

You spam each others names to join until someone finds empty map or map which has enough space for all and ask others to try to join you. Eventually you all are in same map but this might take 30 minutes and more even with TS and its mostly luck. If event runs few rounds this probably doesn’t work cause systems doesnt seem to like putting people in maps half complete. But if map event is done/ it fails you are still in same team in next one.

If you got 3/5 people in same map but random joiners gets in first you can try to explain what you are trying to do here and ask in polite way them to join in another map. It’s worth of trouble if you really want to play as a team but it will take lots and lots of time with more people.

It doesn’t make any sense to have it on DR. We have new LA now. right? Even with big shiny (empty) round festival area in the middle.. LA was the nice place to hold event before and that is where we are supposed to hang out, right? What other purpose does LA serve? Let’s bomb it to dust again then if we dont use it.

There is no excuse. It’s not so hard to move same items to another map.

Dear Anet (santa), Please please let we have our Christmas Miracle – make it possible to enter Toypocalypse with party. I just wanna play with my friends. This is what has been on my wishlist every winter, let it happen.

WWW has many uses for ele. When you zerk with ele, you should equip your staff and land fire fields, chills, static fields on enemy blob and if you get few seconds of peace – meteor shower. Also you should drop heals on your blob. Your job is to take out ac, oils, and so on when you engage enemy gate. Also drop your aoes on walls if enemy starts to def. Basic set is fire – water – arcane traitlines and if things get ugly – well, I suggest you to use mist form utility to get on safe place in big battle. However stay far from melee builds.

For little teams I suggest you to use D/F with aura-sharing build, earth( or air)/water/tempest, Superior Rune of the Trooper, utilities with full shouts. This build works well on pvp too.

I also want fireball back the way it was!
It’s actually embarrassing to play staff ele now… I feel everyone is looking at me… stop staring I know fireballs are supposed to look bigger…

This DH trap spam just has to stop.. Ranger pewpew was good for against one player at the time but these traps can wipe out whole team in seconds.

Single trap is just fine but when DH plants all in a pile it’s just… it doesn’t… it makes me wondering why I even play this game. And its the game where I spend most of my time.

How can I avoid something that is invisible?

This has been bothered me every since Rytlock jumped into mists.. and now he’s acting like there was no crown at all.

-Hold on. This crown is very important to my people.
“I see. What are you saying? You don’t want me to use it?”
-You must promise you’ll give it back to me when this is over.
“When this is over, and the ghosts are gone, I’ll put it into your hands myself.”

I agree this would be a LOT requested change, especially for wintersday events!

I’ll take raffle number 218
Hopefully I’ll get as lucky as I was on last year
character : So Ta

I really wish Lunatic Inquisition will give villagers a fair change this time. I LOVE that gamemode but it’s unplayable if it’s as last year.

easy: mesmer, ranger, necro
medium: warrior, guardian
hard: thief, engineer, elementalist

1) I have to say 30 min waiting time is no bad and it gives everyone short well-earned break between invasions. It gives time to plan next one, to get ready.. It also makes world feel even bit more alive like dragon needs to take short catch-a-breath until they can attack again. However over 60 wait would be too much.
