Guild Wars 2

Beorn Saxon.4762:

I plan on streaming as much of it as I can. If anyone else is, please share your channel as well.

http://www.twitch.tv/beornsaxon

I’m gonna share your link in the gw2girls group on the thread this event was originally announced in. Hope that’s all right.

Hello friends and my condolences to you all in this hard time. :c Losing friends is never easy, and I think what you all are doing to remember him is fantastic.

I suggested to one of our ladies in the gw2girls group that perhaps someone participating could twitch/livestream the event for people who want to participate but can’t get into wvw? just a thought.

I really sincerely hope every person present in your wvw circles this week also participates in this. Players have to realize that we are all ONE BIG community. This is a beautiful act. Let’s all support TC!

big hugs to everyone

This has got to be like the third or fourth TEQ IN A ROW…. that i keep getting constantly dc in. I can’t even get back to my original map cuz by the game is willing to let me stay logged back on; the map is full. It takes relaunching the game at least three or four times. :c

I know i’ve heard other people complaining about dc’s in Teq too. Is this just teq? or is this more game wide with the lag and what not from f2p’s and the big world events going on?

I will be moving in a month. Part of this move includes getting new internet services. The email address attached to my account will be defunct in a few weeks. All of my newsletters go to that address.

Do I need to call Arena Net’s customer service for this? I was looking under my account, but i didn’t see where i could change this particular field. Am missing something? XD I looked in security and didn’t see it there either.

I figure with being on a new ip; i’d be good with the mobile security verification app. However, the email address will be an issue since i won’t have access to it after a certain date to do any verifying.

Hi. I been gone for at least a year, so I wasn’t sure if referrals were a thing or not. Like, I’m talking my friend into playing. is there something for her to put in? or we don’t do that here? XD

seems like that’s been a thing sometimes.

Hi there.
By now, most of us have either bought a super adventure fun box or probably have had the good fortune of being in Lion’s Arch when some are out. These are great. This is probably my personal favorite fun box of all time.

My favorite item even though they are all fantastic is the dancing spirit. I’d like to suggest that the team consider making that a permanent item that can be purchased through the BLTP. It would be an item in our bag that we can use. This would be a fun and exciting way to use those dances after these SFAB’s are done and over with. I know i’m not the only person out there who loves the idea of getting extra dances.

an alternate solution would be somewhere in teh world of tyria where we can go and learn these making them extra dances ala something like /dance2, /dance3.

Man. but what about people who don’t wanna run fractals? The ones who were having fun with the Orr events? While I was still on Denravi, in Straights, we did preist of Balt quite a lot.

When I got to Orr, I wanted to do more temple events, but usually everyone left after Melandru.

Now, I"m on Fort Aspenwood. Tonight, we had a great turnout in Orr for events. It was pretty nice, but once we got people there, the mega event chain for Melandru wouldn’t start. Guess it’s bugged or something.

I don’t see why this would be a problem. I have several places in the game I do this sort of thing. Like, when i’m in late teens; I’ll go to the town that holds meatoberfest in Dissea Plateau. It has like four or five events around it. You earn great exp, karma, and money if you follow it like a marathon track. do it for a few days.

also, in harathi hinterlands, i like to just follow the events between all hte camps then wait for champions. z

I also do this in Orr. Here, i’m not trying to level up at all. But, I just do it for 1) money 2)drops and 3) because it is actually pretty exciting even if they are the same events and a sort of farming. I love the Plinx chain with it’s three little stops once you get going. I love the arena champion event. the R&D tar elemental spawns. the penintent and shelter event; the temple of melandru.. just… yeah… all of it is really exciting! I do like to follow farming circuits because the way you do it maximizes how much money,karma, drops you earn.

I for one was really glad to see they got rid of close to all the bots in game. I used to get annoyed when i’d walk in at shelter to find a pack of them hiding in the town not even going anywhere.

please stop using the suggestions forum to complain about bugs or things you don’t like about the game.

basically coming here to write a laundry list of why you don’t like a certain game feature or a problem in game… that’s not a suggestion. the point of suggestions in this forum should either be to help the game improve or the forums to improve.

see.. even this thread technically.. migth be misplaced. I am sorry for that as i wasn’t sure where it would belong if anywhere.

I am sorry for that as i wasn’t sure where it would belong if anywhere.also, please don’t get mad when people post reasons why they might disagree with your suggestion. I’m sure Anet is interested in everyone’s opinions and perspectives on whether or not they would add something not already in the game or not already on the table.

This means that some of what people ask for could be in planning, but they aren’t commenting on it until they are ready to unveil it. Like, remember that one big mention about the PVP arenas and paid tournaments? One could easily see where the way the company made that move; they might move similarly in regards to other areas of content people ask for.

I’m sure if people wanna play WoW or other fun popular mmo’s; noone’s stopping them. The beauty of GW2 not having a monthly fee is that you can in fact play other stuff. noone here will penalize you except your guild if they have attendance requirements.

I dunno if this could work or not, but what if where you lived gave you certain types of boons? Like, if you live in your race’s home town area; you get a small something. But, by living in certain areas outside of the main cities; you’d get something all together different. maybe nothing too huge, but maybe like a +5 vitality/mf/something like that.

Also, it’s not like bug fix teams are the same people who designed their group of content. So, someone designing a certain heart quest is not hte same person who programs it, so when you request that the person who designs things to not do so. It actually will not help your bugs get fixed any quicker as the people who have to fix bugs are the programmers. And, every week they are fixing bugs. It’s just that new ones get in there too.

The main thing to do is be sure that everytime in game you’re experiencing a bug; submit a bug report while it’s happening; this way your bug report includes a screenshot of what’s happening.

if you don’t know how to submit a bug report in game, you click on teh wheel/gear icon in the very upper left hand corner. open your menu and go to support. there’ll be a button that says bug report. every bug report automatically attaches a screenshot. so try to make sure you’re submitting it while you’re experiencing your problems. That will help the team of bug fixers to identify where your issue is stemming from and how to fix it.

how can they fix some things if they don’t know what people are doing before they bugged out.

the gw2 games community must have like.. at least 10 sites out there. It’d be nice if community building was a little more in one spot. not everyone wants to make a new account at a whole slew of websites.

Also sometimes if I need help doing a my story bit or a local item; i’ll ask on map chat. Many times there are offers to help. Sometimes, depending on zone and who’s present, you run into a pack of trolls; however, I’ve actually gotten a great deal of help.

just last night i was in the hinterlands doing the centaur camp events. After a successful turn of one, someone was asking for help on their story. I went and got my level 80 to go help that person. and he didn’t have to leave the game at all.

drifter.8453:

I am all for new unique crafts like this. But imagine trying to fish and Risen start mobbing the piss out of you. The devs will have to add new recipes and such. I mean what are we gonna do when we catch the fish, use the chef recipes to cook them?

Why is that said like it sounds so outlandish? There’s already a clam chowder recipe. They could easily add recipes like sushi, etc. Also, possibly certain fish could be used in recipes for potion making? Is that artificer? lol. i forget who makes them, but yeah..

I’ve always loved fishing activities in other MMO’s. I’d be all for this.

I think the basis of this idea has potential; it just needs a little more work to make it more applicable. We’re not saying all the servers have to merge, but maybe 3 of the least populated ones could be? that’s an idea.

another idea could be to expand the population allowance on existing high/full worlds where the active playerbase isn’t very high.

Home World: -moving to Tarnished Coast-
Guild Name: Abnormality [OtB]
Guild Website: don’t have one yet
In-Game Contact: Graceangel.3618
Focus: pvx with heavy participation in zone events like champions, shatterer, etc
Quick Notes: We’re very laid back. I’m looking to break away from a lot of standard guild methods such as officers and too many rules. Just wanna get people together to play in game. Also caters more towards grown ups.

Tundra.5269:

1) They posted on here the status of the event.
2) They extended the event and you do not need to complete it for anything
3) If you do complete it, you get a jug of karma. That’s it. Get over it.

4) world changing one time occurrences aside; the new zone and dungeon will still be available to us after this event is over.

also, since i work tonight and tomorrow night; i’m missing most of it anyways. I’m not even gonna bother sweating it as a whole. I just would like to have a weekend to play with my friends fall on a weekend i’m home more.

CrusaderRabbit.7460:

You actually are kind of lucky. The actual events are more frustrating than missing them.

before i went to bed last night, I had done the alchemy game in metrica province just fine. (the beginner level at least?), I went to kessex hills and did that little champion event with the karkas coming into town. that was fun.

I ended up distracted from the event in kessex because i was there on a char who hadn’t been through that zone. I ended up getting wanderlust in there again to uncover my map. XD

Arella.9642:

When I saw that there was new content coming out I was really looking forward to it. Then I noticed that we only had a weekend to complete most of the content, and on top of that most of the content was glitchy. I appreciate that you are currently trying to fix all of the issues that are coming up as quickly and efficiently as possible. But you really should consider the length of time that you have allotted for these
“phases” to be completed. Many of the people that I know had to work this weekend missing out on what could be great content. If anything, make these “events” a week or month long, if you want it to still feel exclusive (which is what I assume you were going for making it a weekend event), don’t make it just a weekend… at least you will give yourself some buffer room for any problems that could arise during the releases. Not to mention, giving your players who try to balance gaming into their social and work lives the opportunity to enjoy all the game has to offer. I would appreciate it if you would re-launch the event with a longer time frame to enjoy it.

Sincerely,
Willing to wait for workable content.

If they wanted, they could have limited your refer a friend for whatever the duration of the event was or for a week too.

But, even without participating in the Lost Shores content; one of my friends who came to try it out is already lvl 12 and planning on getting the game before the end of next week.

Well, my feedback on this event is that I firstly really like the idea of event weekends like this. It has a BWE feel; especially with all the free refer a friend trial codes. it feels reminiscent of beta entirely which was really fun.

however, my issue is this. I’m sure it was done close to christmas to possibly generate some holiday sales. let people try the game for free, and possibly get a few $$ out of it. I get that. However, because my main job is in retail, I won’t be able to be here for the rolling out of ANY of the acts. I’m missing out on pretty much 90% of this event just because of the time of year, i have to be at work a lot this weekend.

I really hope you guys do something like this in january or february when I will have a lot more time for gaming.

also, for the refer a friend codes 3 were awesome, but so far I have one person who said they wanted to play; i sent them a code, but they didn’t show up yet. Maybe she’ll play while i’m at work but meh. Then I had people asking me if i still had codes after I ran out. I’d like to suggest next time we can have 5 or 6?

I invited three people. Not sure if one will show up, but we’ll see.

Just goes to show what YOU know.

Kitten just so happens to be Anet’s forum censor word. So, if you type a swear, instead of your swear appearing in your post. it will be replaced by the word kitten. This means everytime you see that word randomly inserted in a post; that person swore. You can have fun trying to guess which word they actually used if you really want to.

I myself have found the use of the word to be fun and hilarious. I now use kitten as my own slang substitute. It’s almost like a smurf type word for me. XD

just to comment on people who often request alliances/alliance chat.
it’s been stated several places and told to me by my brother who played gw1 that in gw1, the cap on members in a guild was much lower. it wasn’t as high as 500. They put in alliances in gw1 as to avoid reconfiguring guild setups. so instead of expanding your guild; you’d make an extra and put it together in an alliance effectively making it equivalent to a super big 500 person guild we have here.

but i think alliance chats would still be useful. My guild is pretty small. We have @ 40 members with about 12-20 online at any given time.. but sometimes we only have like 4 on. It’d be great to get involved with an alliance where our members could network with bigger/other guilds to fill teams for dungeons, etc.

Lady Vireo.5189:

Okay, first of all…

Major content update! Eeeeeee! So excited!!

However, I’m not one of those players who is sitting around at 80 with nothing to do. I just barely reached 80 and am still looking at a mountain of wonderful content I have not even begun to climb—a chapter or two left of my personal story plus only ~35% world completion, and no way have I caught every DE in the zones I have finished. I’m one of those stop and smell the roses people who takes forever to finish stuff.

So needless to say I’m wondering, will this one time event that changes Tyria forever actually make it impossible to complete content that’s currently in the game? Will it only add content, or will some of the DEs, etc. currently available become obsolete?

Maybe this seems like a weird question, but I just don’t want to miss out on anything!

I know a lot of this info is new and we are all still guessing, but has anyone seen any info about this in podcasts from the devs, etc? Any idea if there is stuff we absolutely MUST finish now or miss out on once Lost Shores is released?

still reading through the thread, but this pretty much sums up my situation. I’m also itnerested to know if there’s stuff i have to finish before that update.. so i don’t lose stuff i can never go back to do.

then again, telling us what those are might be spoilers.. and they might not say.

Well.. in a matter of speaking, you can’t really even be “pk’d” in this game. PK is usually being player killed in the open world/game zones. Which, can’t really happen. Technically, you might be able to arrange an accident.. but that takes a lot of effort and planning. I’ve only ever heard of it being attempted to toy with botters.

Technically, you might be able to arrange an accident.. but that takes a lot of effort and planning. I’ve only ever heard of it being attempted to toy with botters.if you’re in sPVP or WvW, guess what? you willfully and knowingly entered a pvp realm. you cannot QQ about being “pk’d” in a pvp zone. It’s not like you had to pass through a borderlands to get to Staights of devestation or kessex hills. You walk through a gate that explicitly takes you to a pvp zone. If you do that, you have zero business complaining about what happens to you there. You step into their world accepting whatever happens. Don’t like it? Don’t go there. Gotta go there for the achievement? Suck it up.

what i wonder is… HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW what kind of gear someone has on? how do you know if htey have an upgrade on it or what kind? by asking them? or.. is this assumptions being made? since you cannot possibly inspect other people’s gear. Unless you’re some amazing person who’s memorized the looks of armors and specs in game. That’d be fairly amazing since people can transmute what they wear and combine looks of one with stats of another; so even if what they are wearing LOOKS like a piece of crap, the stats on it could be far better than what you’re wearing.

As for the stuff that was removed, I didn’t know what was removed because i read for the first time after it was removed. if the OP is calling people out about things he personally has bitterness over; he just should contact people privately.

consider this in regards to people showing up for dungeon runs unprepared as you think they should! This could be their first MMO. Maybe they don’t know any better. You’re just assuming that everyone knows exactly what shape they should be in when taking a run through a dungeon. maybe they are running through on a whim after seeing that person beg for a 5th person for an hour in [m] chat. Maybe they did it on story mode, but this is their first time in explorable mode on a new path and didn’t know what to expect? I know a lot of hardcore dungeon runners like everyone to watch youtube vids and be scholars on what’s coming. However, not everyone has the time to be a scholar of dungeon preparation. Some people just wanna jump and learn as they go. Some people learn better from playing it through the wrong way.

These are things to consider.

I mean. when I’m in WvW and see a flame ram up on the top of a wall of a keep for defense. It makes me wanna punch the wall, but as others often remind me. Some people are new to certain game mechanics and don’t really know any better until they learn.

Turial.1293:

well, that is a waste of 60 bucks or whatever you paid. I played GW1 for seven years on/off and still played it up until GW2 release. I’m glad of the constant things to do and glad I was not finished with it in a week.

That brings to mind another thought as well. People complain about lack of content after playing for a month or two. However, if you compare your $60 game purchase to some console games you buy. Like, when you play an action adventure game; most people I know beat theirs in a week. Some if they super loved it will play it again, but a lot of people I know will go trade it in at gamestop for credit towards their next conquest.

so in one aspect of this, you’re actually getting a lot of bang for your buck if your game experience keeps you in a month to two months as opposed to taking a week to beat a game and never playing it again.

now some might argue that this is different since it’s a MMO genre. People expect to that their entertainment will just keep on going and giving. But, part of mmo’ing is heavily dependent on your own personal tastes and preferences in relation to your gaming habits.

I personally HATED and almost NEVER participated in raids or dungeon grinding in wow for my like 5 years of playing it. Coming to gw2, and I really don’t have to do that is a relief. However, i’m on the verge of being willing to do it to explore the game and enjoy the rest of the content. I’ll keep on taking my time to do that as I have getting my main to 80.

people play video games, mmo or otherwise, to have fun. if someone wants to play a certain way to have fun, so beit. and nothing is stopping anyone from playing wow or a likewise end game heavy game alongside their gw2 experience.

wonder why you got infracted on your opening post. there’s plenty of criticism all over these boards.

Uniqui; were you using a lot of swears? like… were there kittens riddled in your post? if it was too full of kittens that might be why.

Efaicia.3672:

I don’t understand the issue with either seperating guilds by only letting you belong to one or remove the limit on the chat. I do not see how belonging to multiple guilds helps in any social way when you can only really be a part of the guild you are representing, the other are just kind of…there…you cant even see their chats if you do not represent them, so…what’s the point in being a part of them?

the point of multiple guilds is because of social perspectives. maybe one guild you’re in doesn’t have anyone actively online atm? it’s a small knit guild. no biggie.. while noone’s on, you represent and go play with one of the bigger guilds you belong with. or, maybe you belong to another guild because they are awesome at running dungeons, wvw, or something in particular.

castlemanic.3198:

While tengu and kodan are viable, skritt are the farthest thing from viable due to their status as lesser races. While yes, they have room to adjust as needed, they have a stigma against them already, and without a visible in game change of their status from a lesser race to a greater race, there’s almost no chance to see skritt in the game.

so you’re saying arena net would never make a playable race that isn’t a greater race?so you can’t be the underdog race? I personally would wanna make a skritt or quaggan.

the black background just looks that way in your UI. If you go into sPVP or WVW; your icon gets put on armor or tapestries. Then, the background changes depending. Like in sPVP, your background is red or blue. In WvW, it’s blue, red, or green.

Also, I think it’s fair to say, if you only log in for 4 hours a week. Every server has their day/times when there’s not a lot of players on. Some servers have bigger proportions of people who play at certain times. This could be fixed by going to a higher populated server, so you have a better chance at having someone online at different times. I know there are times when if I go into a certain zone; noone’s there. If I go one or two more over, LOTS of people running between events together.

I agree with a previous poster that most of hte people complaining about a lack to do just brushed through the content too quickly. This game isn’t about being the first on server or world to do something. The only things here you get major call outs on your server for would be your gold star for map completion and the commander icon from wvw. But, on my server, we’ve had some people get commander icons who didn’t really work for them. They bought gems and exchanged for gold till they got it.

I have one level 80 and 4 other chars who are assorted levels under 20. I still have SO MUCH i haven’t done on 80. Like, I haven’t completed the map. You read that right. Hit level 80 without map completion or many dungeons done. I think the main thing people need for incentives is for karma rewards to scale more.

Nox Aeterna.2965:

I agree with this , would reduce SO MUCH the work of the officers while running a 500 man guild …

Atm we end up kicking both inactive and some actives by accident.

I haven’t complained or QQ about it since i know they haven’t implemented much for guilds yet, and I figured maybe they were still working on them. However, guilds really play a significant role in mmo’ing for many players.

You’re totally right about the kicking both active and some actives. Also, without those columns to tell you when someone was playing or representing you. What if they end up having their schedule changed, so they play at odd times when not many see them on? I’ve had this concern lately when we talk about pruning DK’s memberlist. What if someone is legitimately playing, but we just don’t see them? A simple feature of a column telling you when they were on or when they represented would solve all of that.

the main thing on that list that i particularly interested in is a note for a person on the roster that says last time online/last time represented.

this way you can easily weed out people who either left hte game or just aren’t representing.

the only fix to the collectibles tab I’d like to see is one for advanced crafting items.
we’ll use cooking for example because it has so many!
salt and pepper, cinnamonsugar, dressing, roux, etc… these components can end up taking up SO MUCH of your bank space.
this is challenging for people who haven’t as yet been able to afford to buy the gems to unlock the extra storage. storage is a huge issue for a lot fo people. making collectible tabs for advanced materials would be great. then maybe if someone has been doing lots of tailoring or leatherworking and have maybe 25 cotton tunic linings; they can put that into a collectible slot. then it frees up bag/bank slots.

The Kaleidoscope is a friendly pvx guild exclusively for the Denravi server! We won’t kick you out if you move; nor will we deny you joining if you really wanna join while playing on another server. However, the core and majority of our players are on Denravi. Any and all WvW efforts will be to support the success of Denravi ONLY.

We enjoy all manner of content. Some of our players are alt-aholics. Some of us are avid lovers of random activities including everything from keg brawls to random high diving spots.

We intend to be a permanent fixture on Denravi, and we hope to be a part of the community base on this serve for years to come. As such, we promote a highly positive and friendly atmosphere. We enjoy spending time together and chatting.

We want everyone who wants to contribute and be an active member to be able to be important and matter. As long as you’re an active player (playing at least three times a week with us and representing us for at least several hours three to five times a week); you will be promoted up to an area of responsibility. All players can invite and recruit.

We’re a small guild who is growing and building slowly and with quality. Due to our careful growth, sometimes we as yet don’t have enough people in the appropriate level brackets to run dungeons, but we are working on that. We’re in process of making some alliances to let our members go with members of other larger guilds. We hope to grow our “dungeon talent” team who are especially well suited and enjoy dungeons; we hope this team will eventually be well familiar with most and able to help those just starting dungeons to learn how to run them efficiently as well.

We don’t have our own website, but for any forum needs; we’ll probably use <a href=“http://www.hengeofdenravi.com/index.php/topic,431.0.html”>the HoD website</a>.

If you’d like to join, feel free to ask any DK member for an invite.
You can contact ME in game @ graceangel.3618
Other contacts are Silent Polaris and Samarko.

Hi there! I run Denravi’s Kaleidoscope. Our members are primarily adults with some very mature teens as well. We have a lot of parents and grownups; so a lot of our members work or go to school. Thus, we totally understand real life comes first.

Our guild is pvX, so we like to do all manner of game content. Just send mail or whisper me in game if you still want a guild. graceangel.3618

hey there! I don’t have any fancy awesome cool guild website links to give you, BUT my guild, the Denravi’s Kaleidoscope is already on Henge of Denravi. We are a pvx guild. We are not really exclusvie to anyone or exclude anyone. However, at least half of my members so far are ladies. Many of our members have a spouse who also is in the guild and plays with them. I’d love to have you! my in game name is graceangel.3618
send me a mail if you wanna join. I don’t have any forms or fancy do’its you need to do. Just message me, and we’ll get ya on board.

That’s true. If someone is NEVER representing you; or maybe if they haven’t been online since sometime in september after they hit 80; how do you know they’ll come back? maybe you wanna make room for active members. if they come back later can join the secondary guild.

Optik.9465:

3. Increases revenue and server economy if you switch to a paid (gem) system. More people buying gems, more transfer of gold to gems, and overall an increase in “goldflow”.

Feel free to discuss or debate any of the topics above.

oh and hey… btw, there is no “server” economy. The BLTP is global. Unless some server has set up a server wide forum somewhere, and all or majority of players there all agree to use that to do business and not use the Post. But yeah.. all economy is global across all servers.

but, you’re right about the gems being able to help support the game company, so they can develop more content. People keep asking for content. Content costs money.

actually, when the game released; these free server transfers were only supposed to be temporary. Eventually, they’d stop being free, and they would be purchaseable with gems. You could only do it once every seven days.

I think they said that would implement when the guesting feature was ready.

something that could really free up more space that’s already being taken up; is a new collectible tab for 2nd/3rd stage crafting items.

examples: like in cooking:
roux, soup bases, salt n pepper, cinnamon sugar, pie filling, etc… all these sorts of things take up bag/bank space. would be nice to right click and put it on some cooking collectible tab. same thing for crafting pieces from jewelry making or tailoring.

also besides being able to buy more bank space by unlocking thru teh BLTP; you can also unlock more bag slots in your char’s inventory.

Gravy.3571:

Having limited charges in a fishing location similar to ore, trees and such should stop the problem of bots. Or if they added a feature that sometimes the fish may actually attack you. =]

or what if you accidentally fish up an arm or something off a risen body? and it spawns the undead there? making you have to fight every so often.. then people botting will just lay dead on teh ground. xD

TheDaiBish.9735:

Of course, the main issue of this would be the people who complain how x professions armour and weapon effects looks cooler than theirs.

I like the idea. Being an elementalist, your description sounds like something I’d actually like. I have no interest in the lvl 80 cultural armor or the priory’s lvl 80 armor either. Those all seem to be heavy healing attributed for the light armors.

However, I take somewhat issue with the complaint being how one looks cooler than theirs. The first complaint I’d think of is: if it takes so long to make this or cap out your crafting. like, i haven’t maxed any of my crafts out yet. you can say all the condescending i’m better than you type of remarks you want. It should be maybe be something available that isn’t just for level capped crafters. Though it’d really be up to Anet if they prefer for people to acquire it this way. Maybe you could do something cool with a profession trainer in some city to unlock it.

We already have synchronized dancing, so why not evolve that concept? Lets make this solo act a duet.

I didn’t know you could synchronize dancing. Do you just type a command in like an emote?

Or even if it wasn’t like ballroom dancing; they should just add more dances period. sell them through the gem shop. People would plenty be willing to spend gems on new dances.

They could make group dances. maybe some there are more than 2 people; so you could sort of have big group line dances/square dancing sort of thing?

Quick Mouse.7635:

Mining nodes is basically fishing anyway

except that mining is mining; and fishing is fishing. People actually like the act of fishing/casting a line.

you can’t just not want content in a game because someone might figure out a way to create a bot for it. people will probably be trying to create bots for anything implemented in game; because there will always be that portion of the player base who are too lazy to do the actual work themselves like the rest of us.

The thing to do there is just find a way if htere are special fishing events; require some kind of.. acknowledgement or activity that would indicate someone’s playing, not a bot.

A little thing to keep in mind even with a great idea as this thread. GREAT IDEA, btw OP.

One of their recent blog posts that was mostly about pvp/spvp, they mentioned there are so many things they have plans for. They have lots of content and ideas they wanna implement. However, they aren’t even going to discuss them or reveal anything about till it’s almost ready with spit and polish to show to the world.

so with that being said, it’s quite possible that there really is some mega stuff in works for end game; it’s just they have a list of priorities they are working on before they get to that. like they have the halloween content coming up. x3

but yeah. this would be great!!!

I liked the idea of having it so that certain pre-requisite tasks to be completed to unlock certain areas/battles. For those who think why would they do that; look at the shatterer dragon event in Blazeridge Steppes. That has a few pre-quests with great exp and karma rewards for doing them. A lot skip em, but they are pretty fun and build up the feeling of epic part of something.

It may also encourage players who have a barn of alts to actually level some of their characters up, so they can go see the areas their efforts in completing this stuff contributes towards.

I’ll support that. Let’s take for example: i’m on Henge of Denravi which really has no issue with population. Even still… sometimes when we go to the point in straights of devestation where you face the priest of Balthazar; there are some times of day we find it next to impossible to get the number of people we need to complete that event.

though when it’s over, many leave the zone and don’t help retake contested waypoints. I’ve actually in order to get them just speed ran through the zone. I’d get killed, but i’d get it. It was a lot of dying to get all the poi’s in the SoD for this reason.

my point being: if we on denravi run into this issue being a well populated server. I’m sure people on LESSER or low pop servers have it even worse!

I’ll throw my hat in this ring too. In WoW, probably a lot of my first year or two was spent traveling the world JUST TO FISH.

i like the idea of treating fishing like other forms of farming! it goes into a tool slot. you have to use an appropriate level rod tool to get the items from schools of fish in a zone. maybe some zones don’t really have good fishing areas; but some other zones are great!!!

I think it’d be fun in some zones with coastlines if you could fish up small treasures from time to time! like you found na old pirate’s boot, and it had some gems in it or something? x3

there could even be a really neat little “chain event” somewhere in teh game. you complete some de somewhere; and you get invited to a special fishing tournament that lasts a short time. kind of how you can go keg brawling? XD
