Guild Wars 2

Weren’t these added to the reward tracks for pvp and wvw? I don’t see why they’d re-add them to the gem store when they’re available in game now, aside from the obvious of being for those that don’t want to do those modes.

CoF, CoE, and Arah are the only dungeons that have events that can block access. CoF and CoE are the more problematic ones I’m sure since they’re quite a bit faster to do. No solutions here, just info on the other ones.

Simply because I will always hope for the return of Abaddon….

Kormir gained Abaddon’s power, not his “soul” to say it in some way. She isn’t a vessel of Abaddon she’s the new God of secrets, just so everyone gets it straight ABADDON IS DEAD.

I thought she was referenced as the Goddess of Truth, which yes I conceded would just be revealing the secrets. I’d be interested to see when Anet posted that he was dead. Assuming it was before the Scarlet arc, it could easily be retcon’d, movies and comics do it all the time.

But props for the blind part, even if it wasn’t meant as a joke.

It was a joke which I thought was highly amusing as I wrote it. Glad others did too

The Abaddon fractal wasn’t about the moment we killed him, it was way before that when the Gods imprisoned him, so there’s no possible way that it would had shown us his revival.

Who’s to say that we wouldn’t see some plan of his for getting released? The Lich and Shiro were both parts of his plans towards creating Nightfall (or maybe just failed plans to escape…). What if everything including him being “defeated” was known to him and he planned appropriately. If the powerful psychic Xavier can come back from being vaporized, I’m sure the God of secrets, and the god that blessed humans with magic, could too due to planning ahead…waaay ahead.

That’s a demon from the Underworld, not a Margonite. Margonites are associated with Abaddon, demons/shades/aataxes are with Dhuum.

I forget the mission/area, but the demons from the UW (and Dhuum himself) were allied with the margonites, and it’s been shown that the more influenced by Abaddon one gets, the more they change(see Varesh), did the demons in gw1 have 6 eyes?

Its clearly the revival of Abbadon, God of secrets and once imprisoned in the realm of madness. Kormir didn’t destroy him, she simply became a vessel for him to escape. She was too blind to see this trickery. There’s a reason the Gods left, internal turmoil after Abbadon released Dhuum and helped Menzies take back the fissure.

Why else would there be a potential fractal about him if not to show he was never destroyed?

I happened to notice for the first time that the creatures coming out of the portals in Queensdale happen to have 6 eyes (not the Aatxe which also happen to be allies of Abbadon iirc)

With the new achievement UI, select an achievement, then hover over the tiers to see what is required for each tier. You can also hover over the AP value to see how many AP per tier.

As for removal of tiers, I’m against that as Tint Hjorje said.

Tap the turn buttons instead of holding, problem solved (till this is fixed)

Not sure how much of this has been suggested before but here goes….

like dungeons, mostly, but there is a serious lack of reward for doing them outside the existing reward for tokens. Below are a few things That would be nice, obviously in my opinion:

1) Token storage system similar to gold

2) Transfer of normal tokens in to pristine, which can be used either to:
. a) Purchase ascended armoir, weapons, and accessories
. b) For a cheaper cost than above, convert existing gear associated with the token to ascended (ideally, the armour begins to gain visual effect)

3) tokens to trade in for dungeon boxes which contain: tokens, pristine, dungeon specific minipets, dungeon specific town clothes?, dungeon specific weapons

4) existing dropped back pieces to have a visual effect

5) Weapon drops by bosses specific, visually, to the boss. I.e. Rare skins for each dungeon

6) story mode completion to have a chance to cause a breakout event.
. for example, completion of AC might spawn an event where ghosts start flooding the plains, and head towards the black citadel, protect an npc for x minutes and a big baddie comes up murdering everything in its path.

this all sounded better in my head, written it looks off…

Anwar.2018:

Don’t listen to the hardcore kiddies, unless you are ALL max level….this is NOT easy….not even close to easy. All you heroes are declaring it easy to stroke your egos.

I’m not hardcore, i’m not a kiddie, but in comparison to other dungeons, this IS “easy”.

I joined a pug (because I’m not afraid of pug’s), and to my surprise it was a level 80 ranger, a level 22 warrior, a level 13 warrior, and a level 12 warrior, and myself as a lv.80 mesmer, not a GC.

Because I know the dungeon upscales players, I took a chance; I like to believe in the system first before outright naysaying it.

We succeeded, and in a not-so-scientific manner, we passed as fast as my normal guild group did. The only part we wiped at was the champ slime group at the end. Other than that we made it through without any wipes, including the end boss fight.

On topic, seeing as how I came into this game expecting to pug, i’m not disappointed that it’s “forced” if you feel like completing the story, though if you don’t care about story, you aren’t forced to do it.

Not talking about the skins we have now. Talking about other, harder to get ones.

Josh Foreman.8250:

We certainly want to get in on the leaderboard action as soon as that’s available to
Special items that are super hard to get… will most likely be stuff that stays in the Box. Otherwise the amount of community outrage would shake the foundations of the earth.

Its been stated that exclusive SAB weapons for use outside of the SAB are unreasonable due to the outrage they would cause.

My question is, what makes SAB so unique from Dungeons or Fractals, ,both of which have exclusive non-tradeable weapons and armour. Is it just because likely it would be a reward for jumpers doing difficult content, and there’s a large group that both despise the SAB and the weapons as well as jumping? Which isn’t much difference than FotM or any Dungeon.

With the hints of a Infantile Rage mode/Sad Cloud mode, and scale (similar to fotm), it seems logical that there’s be tangible, if not rare rng, rewards for those that enjoy SAB at its hardest, especially if/when this becomes complete and permanent.

Oh…the game rock band…lmao. I’m dumb.

This is an attempt to not see a “wtf monthly reset but its still March” thread Sunday (for us NA people).

Monthlies will reset on Sunday at the same time dailies do. If you are close now, buckle down and finish them today or tomorrow!

Good luck. We’re all counting on you.

You get it back, I’ve cancelled several. You won’t get any back that you used to speed it up though.

If you weren’t in a band and on GoM I would’ve thought you were my wife. Sound like her anyway…wait she’s 28 for the third year…shhhhh. Also, do you think anyone under a certain age knows your Ferris reference? Maybe that was the goal. :P

Don’t use absolutes.

I like the flame and frost updates. While they don’t takes lot of time to complete, I’ve enjoyed trying to piece it all together and figure out before each update gives more info. My prediction proved false with this latest

M guild did a guild bounty training for the first time last night. The complaints weren’t around the ease of the fight but rather the difficulty. We are a small to mid size guild and mostly casual, so yes, it was challenging, for various reasons (I had to repeat that we don’t know where to go till it starts about 8 times in 5 minutes).

I’m sorry all the content isn’t what you wanted, but there are people and guilds that are enjoying every aspect.

My biggest gripe is the seemingly inability to farm for anything, including special weapon skins. Wintersday definitely did it mostly right in that regard.

The solutions for farming chests and in general are debatable, limiting to once per char/acct is bad implementation as well as DR. When I hit a wall of DR after one temple, it makes me not want to play.

Its likely due to that player not having a group. You can’t join a solo player, you can only invite.

Guested to two different servers, neither allowed me to pick up the book. Any other suggestions roaming about?

Well crap, there goes my theory.

I have tried three locations for the logbook and each one gives me the same error, that I have already picked it up.

So I am stuck at 5/6.

I think this may be due to the fact I picked up the sword belt twice, with two different characters. I picked it up on one, swapped characters, forgot I didn’t turn it in, picked.it up on the second and turned it in. Destroyed the first.

Are we sure he died? Did anyone confirm the kill? IIRC we shoot him till he falls and stops attacking. I didn’t see him explode into 1000 bits or anything, he simply disappeared into the fog of death.

Perhaps he went back into hiding, biding his time till he can get risen corrupted branded karma, krait, hounds and cutpurses.. Can we get Branded risen destroyers too?

There are several casual guilds that are set to start researching these that don’t require you to be “owned by a guild leader”. Its fairly easy to join those or a mega guild while still playing solo as much as you want.

I never really liked Cantha, so I can’t say I’m distraught over this. However, I do like history and seeing how things change.

Let us clean up the Elder Dragons on Tyria, Elona, and the Far North (a few years worth). Then we can consider peeking in on Cantha. I am in no hurry for new zones.

I personally don’t care that legendaries are aren’t bind on acquire, with the current asking price of what, 9800g? It’s just not likely many are going to go that route.

It’d be nice if they were account bound once equipped, especially given that only 2 can be made per character (currently).

I am baffled however that ascended items are bound on acquire, yet legendaries aren’t…

No thanks, at least not for a while. maybe in 3 years. Walking around actually encourages me to stop and do events along my way. If it’s anything like WoW or AoC, i’d be more inclined to keep running (granted they didn’t have DE or proximity grouping).

I’d also hate that 90% of clothing and weapons would likely clip with whatever mount there was; it’s bad enough that all my light armour clips with all all my weapons.

NO.

What is with all these “i want to be a healer” threads popping up? There’s only about EVERY SINGLE OTHER MMO out there there that has a dedicated healer, we do not need this and I can only pray this is one promise of Anets that they stick to (though I don’t subscribe [yet] that ascended armour has broken any).

Me: attended/loot/no mail
Guildie: did not even log in/no loot/ mail (she had no idea there was even a discussion about this)

I feel like I should say “no loot no mail” but I am just too honest :-(

Corpg is the term they used.

Group size in explorable open world should limitless imo.

Then when you enter an instance, only first 5 can join.

Oh, might as well have guild, members automatically show up as orange dots whether grouped or not.

Or something like what commander can do, but actually see where squad members are like you can currently see party members.

Glad I am not the only one going for underwater legendaries. I am aiming after two of them.

My reasoning is this…

They are not account bound.
I do not intend on using the same weapon for the next several years. If I were to get a land legendary, I would feel like I HAD to always use it. If they were transferable to my other characters…maybe.

As underwater only has two weapons I am stuck regardless.

I do enjoy making a new playstlye every so often…

More outdoor ones. Too many are closed in.

I like the echovald forest idea, though would hate to see wardens anytime soon… Urgoz wandering around after the fall of shiro 2.0?

A mesmer themed area, full of randomized invis walls and traps…kind of like Cube

As a mesmer, I got it on my first try. Though this was week 1, so maybe it was accidentaly bugged?

I’d like to be a little more refined in cos calculation.

I.e.
0-100 away? Free.

Currently, if you died right under the waypoint at 80, it would still cost 1.26s, which clearly everyone believes is rather bogus.

The max can still be what it is (5s from CS to Frostgorge?), just have a more logical scaling inbetween.

A transfer in a zone should cost no more than 50c at the max.

Don`t forget the bottle of harpies (not as fun as a true summon I guess)

But it isnt maintained like in gw…

I did not realize it was, and I have not tried many of these in a while….the point stil stands¡ more emotes¡

Only if we get instrument slots were we can equip the instrument. Add in karma, craftable, and legendary mf instruments so we can rock out with our kitten out :-)

Of course if craftable instruments are added, furniture for our animal crossing house would have to be added…oh the horror of more content to grind!!!!

I totally support all of this, more things to do =win

Two solutions…

1. Automatically go to an overflow when zoning in.
2. Ability to right click mini map and choose “go to overflow”.

2 seems to be the best option, at most you would double the maps being fed through the servers, except in areas already having an overflow.

All chest and resource nodes, however, would have to have character limits, even across overflows/servers and is, what I assume, a hang up on releasing guesting.

Along with more emotes in general…

Signed, considering it was a uniqe mmo feature in gw1, it surprises me it is not in already.

Even better is that it should force this on wvwvw, or go to a black screen (to prevent death spies).

I dislike playing either class simply because there are so many. I am happy my main is, at least at one point, the least played class (mesmer). I get both happy and sad when I group with one.

I felt it was rather full of elitist pricks most of the time.

Agreed that if this is half as good as keg brawl that it will be awesome.

Likely I will be grinding out the monthly though as I will be gone for half the month :’(

They need to bring back regen like in gw1. So even if they do lose aggro, they do not go invuln and do not get a crazy hp regen.

This is also felt in boss fights. The necro boss in CM reset close to 6 times while fighting him. Sometimes he would be near the waypoint, othertimes he was not ten steps from his spawn.

If you were running a pug in any lv.20 area, you had to run specific builds else kick. This especially applied to end game.

Trading was not fun, and the community was just as full of jack wahons as this community.

Learning to run was fun, repeating was not. Furthermore, the longer the game was out the harder it was to turn a profit on it.

The only people that really experimented were farmers. Eeveryone else looked up pvx, and this was all after templates were added.

Refund points were not fun, but then those were removed, trait do over cost needs to leave, this would encourage more build exploration.

Gw1 was fun, but I prefer gw2 1000x over.

Must be nice to complain about a singular skill ruining wvwvw. Here in the lower tiers we just do not have the numbers for portal bombs to be required. It is all about 24/7 coverage (which we dont have) and zergs still.

I hope portal stays as is, there is more to the game than wvw, which skill changes do affect.

Henge player here.

Finished fractals with my level 32 guardian, formed the group partially with people lfg in la, and partially with gw2lfg.com

Wvw took a lot longer but through focusing on it this weekend was able to finish mapping as well as get my kills.

Over a month you can get 2 kills a day and 1 fractal, meaning not even completing a scale set of three, every 4 days and all quite quickly and easily.

Fotm is also easier than standard dungeons, at least on lower scales. Thus I find this monthly to be rather casual friendly much more so than salvaging 500 items.

I still wander around and have fun wherever I go. Maybe I am just easy…

As to emptyness, I still find people in the maps. It is not the 400 people per map it was o launch, but enough to do any of the meaningful events (minus orr temples). Given that most champions still have crap drops, do not have a unique item, or a chest drop, those fights are usually difficult to get people to show up for.

Likely everything was decided months ago, so even if they learned their lesson, the effect of that will not necessarily show up on this event. I would like to stay hopeful though.

Edit..
I expect things to craft that do not require 250 of t6 mats, because we have enough of those already.

Looking good. Though being able to change style would be nice.

I wish our fashion clothes could be used for combat….

Agreed. I really cannot see buying more outfits until there is a storage for them. Seeing as how I am ok with buying the outfits, i.e. Not with gold, I would also be ok for selling this storage for 400 gems.

On that note, id like a storage to hold one of eavh dungeon armour and weapon, much like the pvp locker now, per character of course.

It was stated even before ascended items were released that there would, eventually, be other ways to obtain said gear. Yes currently there is a very narrow path, so this only affects those that want it NOW; getting it now has a negligable stat boost.

The rage won’t be due to only getting it here or in a dungeon, the rage will that it involves player competition and jumping.

Clocktower had essentially no reward, yet people were very upset over that. In the time some claim to have spent trying to complete, they could have farmed the labyrinth, a dungeon, or dragon chests for the same reward. Unlike clocktower reward however, the exotic boots from thosr other areas could be sold or salvaged.

Yes please. Of course there will be 500000 rage posts too :-(

Nope. Not until it is decided fotm should not be a server issue.
