Guild Wars 2

Ok I Did It.2854:

The essence of luck should be renamed to something else, and allow the user to invest it into

Karma up to 100%
XP Gain up to 100%
Gold Find up to 100%
Magic Find up to 300%
WxP increase up to 100%
WvW reward track gain up to100%
Spvp reward track gain up to100%

All of these could be options and just keep the values the same as they are for the Magic find so that it takes a long time to complete,

I don’t know why Anet ignore this type of thing, its like they have a spare of the moment idea, put it into the game, then forget about it completely.

This almost seems like a obvious solution.

Ashantara.8731:

I only have 9 characters, therefore no such issue. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to be able to have all characters presented in a one-page overview (e.g., via portrait grid) to make selection easier for all. This was already an issue for many in GW1.

Yep, a friend of mine has like 17 and from time to time is aggravated to heck when swapping in pvp or fractals just to get on the same toon when it should have been in a different spot.

Options for character select?… YES ANET PLZ !

This would be a pretty sweet addon, cant see how it wouldn’t be useful regardless if you’re doing it for the 5% dmg bonus, but also to get an idea when VB meta is happening as 1 of many examples where this can be used for keeping up with the games events/mechanics.

It would be awesome if you characters where in one page and could to some extent interact with each other, or if you can purchase items via gem store… one can dream

RoseofGilead.8907:

Ah, so you want to have a Gem Store category in the wardrobe. The Gem Store isn’t the same as the Trading Post, hence the confusion.

I can see that, yes this +1 lol

Sartharina.3542:

I’m sorry… What?

Skin prices are set by market forces.

…? I simply saying it would be nice to have the skins that are strictly obtainable through the the tp via gems only seperate from skins you can find or make.

So I like to collect as many skins as I can, but the tp skins are waaaaaay overpriced.
I.e: Fused weapons, gl collecting all of those… honestly. And also skins that are CONSTANTLY being dished out.

Is it to much to ask for 2 separate tabs 1 being in-game skins other being tp skins… Please ANET fix this ; . ;

Show some support and leave your feedback behind, do you agree? Disagree? Let me know what you feel is fair in this case and why. (Or you can simply say “YES”!, or “No”.

I would like 2 exchange some eggs for crystals for sure.

NikeEU.7690:

God no. The day I hit the cap was great because I no longer had the OCD compulsion to get my daily done every day. I dont want to go back to that.

This for sure!! Im not quite at 15k, but nearing it. When that comes around… pfffffft finally wont feel compelled to do them. Also I’m sure some of you may use “If it no longer compels you to sign in, isn’t that hurting the game by no longer making those who hit that goal feel like they HAVE to sign in”? Nope hit 15k ap and tell me if you plan on quitting soon + daily sign-in bonuses are still a thing.

Yargesh.4965:

But there are soooo many stupid time sinks and arbitrary requirements like an education and experience actually doing something that frankly if they don’t just give me the ability to create I will huff and puff till they do!

Sounds like a you problem good sir.

Be a content creator.

A mini farm for your home instance. Or (still in your home instance) have a patrol lane for as many minis available, with a random mini assigned per lane everytime you zone back in.

So recently I have finished making all the order backpack skins, want to know the hardest part? Go ahead guess…
Airship parts? … Nope
Aurilium? … Nope
Ley Line Crystals? … Nope
Buying all the armor/weapons needed? … Nooooo
“Ok dude wtf is it”! … It is… finding out what freakin order my character belonged to!! I had to google an explanation and it was a vague web page on the gw2 wiki, which is NOT the first result you will get when trying to figure it out… And basically it tells you… “it’s simple, go to the 1 of maybe a gajillion characters you have, sign in as him/her, press H, go to the story section, find X story Y story in that stories section, and Z will be the order you belong to!” Seriously… I cant tell you how absolutely annoying this was for me to do, and having to favorite this obscure as all hell website for later refrence is dumb, considering the order you belong to should not only be hidden in ur log,story,instance choice, but rather something that should be displayed proudly. Why the hell choose a order if ultimately it does little to absolutely nothing for your characters background!… I told myself I wouldn’t rant, so I am sry, but Please do something with this, as it makes no sense trying to find out what order you belong to and on what character by searching a random gw2 wiki page that you have to hope to find.

Tldr;
Orders choice on your character is hard to find, fix it Anet.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Guild-Bank-Eating-Contributions

Thread in the bug report section. A dev said they are looking into the matter and other players have given workarounds for the issue. Also it sounds like the items aren’t actually missing, but invisible for some reason, and they will show up after a while.

I have tested this, and you are right they will reappear when you put something in a different guild bank spot, or move items in your inventory around… However do NOT put something where your item dissappeared in the same guild bank spot as before, it seems to erase the item that was orginally put there, and till this day I have not seen my 8 bolts of damask come back, and still try to somehow make them to… its been 4 months, maybe longer. If you want to test this for yourself I advise you use something cheap.

Thoguh I think this is impossible to add this far into the game, but please please pleeeeease consider adding a blood mechanic, I get its for the ratings and such…. but this feature alone has dropped the likelihood of many I know to take the game seriously. Though I am a fan of the game, im on the same boat.

I have 8, and wish they were fixed to a spot with a number next to them, and can be arranged to your liking. This would be my boring version of a fix compared to some examples above, but would be content with this alone. As it is now, is pretty bad sometimes its the last character you played, sometimes its not ugh its pretty annoying.

A fix to character selection is deffinately called for.

This skill was useful at some point, but yea as everyone here has pointed out, it is now so pointless to bring.It MAY heal 10% of your health back 15 if you’re lucky… like wtf … honestly.

Elden Arnaas.4870:

You should probably change your subject to mention account bound recipes and crafting professions, rather than race change. Some people only look at the subject, and race change is one of the “beating a dead horse” topics here.
You also mention “change race”, “race change”, and “race changing” when you really mean “making a new character of a different race”.(at the sacrifice of an old character or purchase of a new slot) I think it would help if you would edit and re-word your post.
As to your suggestion, many people craft to level new characters, rather than do world exploration. There are people who feel absolutely opposite about this from the way you do.(and this would ruin their way of leveling) So I don’t know that it would be as popular a “solution” as you think.
And it may be hard for Anet to implement. Crafting professions were always envisioned as being tied to a character. Plus there’s the role playing/lore aspect of it – why do all these characters know all the same crafts and recipes, when they didn’t all study them?

I for one don’t want to spend 1k+ gold and re-mastering a list of professions I have already learned on another character, and go running around Tyria looking for recipes I think I have already unlocked all over again. I get that it’s essentially making a new character, but what stops people like him (from what it sounds) is the simple fact that you feel tied down to a specific character (therefor race) simply because of all the effort you spent unlocking everything on him/her throughout the months/yrs you have been playing the game. Ruin their way of leveling? tomes/pvp/world exploration/story/mastery grinding/world bosses/dungeons/wvw/farming, trust me crafting would be the least in that category (unless your a key farmer, in which your playing the game nowhere near how it is intended). When you have to spend in the 100’s (except for maybe chef) to max out a profession those options seem much more reachable. If you have 100+ gold to spend on crafting, by doing dailies alone you should have the tomes to get you at a decent level and the rest can be obtained via not using butt-loads of gold on crafting for 7-10 lvls worth. And for role-players, whats more annoying than not being able to role play a character of your choice? what if I desperately wanted to make that wooden sword, but oh wait I have to go and log into my main, breaking that immersion a role-player seeks just to go make it. Simply because I don’t have that recipe unlocked on this new character I wanted to have fun with. (sure you can trade post for it, but this is 1 of hundreds of examples in the items list that are obtained by recipe’s role players would love to make).

I would like to see something like this implemented.

I have one, but unfortunately have not had the pleasure to do Raids quite yet. Aside the point I hope they fix it, I also have the perma merchant that now collects dust, but my main reason for finishing the tarrktun achievement was to be able to vendor trash without the 5 min wait, or running back to where the npc was last used. Heres hoping it gets fixed, since I to one day plan on Raiding

This is an amazing idea. The animations though, that’s what we need.

Sickle shouldn’t be an omnom though, you should just smash your head against the ground repeatedly. That’s a far better animation!

So basically this?

Buhhtter toahhhssssst!

Why anyone has issues with this is honestly shocking… then again it is the forum… where there is always something for everyone to QQ about. This for sure though surprises me, 6k hrs into the game my honest reaction to gliders being introduced wasn’t all to great… Since the using of them for maybe a good 1 week it has got to be some of the funnest content added to the game it is a win win scenario. People with HoT get to finally or for the first time fullfill their exploring needs in core Tyria, and or make world exploration a good like 5% faster (this coming from someone who has it done 8 times). And lastly gives new FtP players an extra incentive to join the rest of us and glide around to your hearts content.

Tldr
Its fun, no need to QQ.

Holllllllly crud! I cant wait!! Guild Wars fanboy here, and I cannot stand people doing this. It makes it 100x times harder to be like “hey guys check out gw2, its core ftp, holiday events are available annnnnnnd yes those are bots in masses… please dont leave me” :. ( I sincerely WISH that Dhuum came back like in gw1 and perma killed a botter/hacker/spammer/overall cheater. If that was done you would see tons of youtube videos go up scaring cheaters and bringing those in who go “thats a pretty cool way to intimidate people from killing your games livelihood”. Imho at least, HAPPY HUNTING ANET!

These bots… fml…

Submit a suport ticket and they will probably give you the Metabolics back

Yea I really should, one of those I dont even know how to begin type of situations, here I felt I can lay out the problem and see if anyone else has experienced this. Thank you very much for your input, and will be submitting one in just a few. Best of luck out there!

For reasons no one outside of Anet really understands yet, you have a much better chance of getting an OFFICIAL response to something like this by posting on Reddit than on the actual GW2 Forums. If that makes no sense to you, well… now you know how everyone who’s been posting on these forums for the past 3 years feels.

Agreed, unfortunately.

Kal Spiro.9745:

Ok, and how are they porting exactly? Why do they have this magic ability? I mean it’s a pretty good deal if they can do it, but I don’t see how.

Teleport hacks have been around for a long time now, it’s mostly complained about in the WvW forums, but there used to be posts about that in General Discussions regarding people teleporting to mining nodes as well (and some people theorized that we see unreachable mining nodes around certain maps because they’re “honeypots”, traps meant to catch people teleport hacking since it would be impossible to get to those nodes otherwise).

The ones we see hacking in the Wintersday JPs are the dumb ones, the smarter ones wait until they get on a glitched map and can hack without fear of being reported.

Precisely, they took some action then, and some here and there, though I strongly hope they fix this, I also kind of doubt it. The JP wont be here for a long period of time, let’s hope it isn’t a factor in why they dont bother with the removal of their #1 game breaking issue… the bots of course.

Kal Spiro.9745:

Ok, and how are they porting exactly? Why do they have this magic ability? I mean it’s a pretty good deal if they can do it, but I don’t see how.

I would be personally even more impressed if someone could actually program a bot to run the puzzle, considering all the variables involved.

It seems more likely to me you’re experiencing some kind of lag spike. I’ve had it happen to me a handful of times.

As mentioned before, position hacks. Im not sure if you were here during gw2 early days I personally have been here since beta, and can tell you this is far from being a “new kind of hack” I remember when Cursed Shore farming was a BIG thing, and you would be roaming doing your Orichalcum farming, when suddenly POOF random player would appear gather the ore and dissappear. Suddenly again not even 20 feet from you where the next Orichalcum node is POOF there he goes again! Worse cases of this yet funniest was in the water those who have seen it know exactly what I am talking about.

TL;DR
These Wintersday JP Bots are not farfetched, and hope that they get removed asap, since the grind is real and makes it that much harder for people to join servers when its got bots roaming in them.

I hit 15 ;.<

In Tangle Depths near the Dragon’s Passage Waypoint, just accross the hero point (where you get the cloak and snagger achievement I believe) Druids/Rangers are bringing pets armored spiky ranged 1 in particuler + the rock dog Rune and the sharpshooter that are there are being farmed over and over and over, also they use signet of stone and signet of the wild. Seems that the sharpshooter will strike with his gun and then bug out running back in fourth in a like 2 ft intervel. I am currently watching someone do it, reported him and asked few others to do so as well, but one guy said its been on-going for roughly 2 weeks. so i figured id make a post on it. Either way gl everyone, plz dont ruin the game with crud like this -_- it legit bothers me to find things like this while roaming.

I like this idea a lot, it would be a GREAT community-based addon, even more so if it was an on-off option in your options menu, and even better a name of the person who dropped it. This coming from someone who has had at 1 point 250 hero banners and got a few thank you’s along the way
+1 this if you agree even if you got nothing else to add to it, lets make this possible!

So we all seen the 3 minis they are introducing to Halloween this year right? After taking a quick glance I noticed the mimic that you can find roaming around inside the vault in LA is not one of them… I hope its a reward for either events, rare drop from Mad King battle, jp, candy corn/cob exchange from npc, or a gem store item. However I SERIOUSLY hope its not another gwyneferrd situation where it takes 2 gazillion bags be4 finding one. Any thoughts anyone? Did I miss info on the mimic, or any news spilled on this thing?

This … YES. Mad King Bashing through the ground cackling to grab your stuff and go… add 0_o!! ADD!!

So, mind showing us the emblem you submitted?

That’s such a childish response to someone who is genuinely unhappy with something…

“Man, these emblems aren’t that good.” -> “So why don’t you draw better ones!”
“Man, these daredevil animations suck.” -> “So why don’t you animate better ones!”
“Man, this sandwich is terrible.” -> “So why don’t you make a better one!”

I totally get what kfc was saying. Seriously, big time congrats to the winners! That’s totally awesome and they should be proud of their work, and I’m sure there are a lot of people out there who can’t wait to use these emblems. But honestly, I share the opinions with most of the others here in that I wish we got some cool ones as opposed to cute/goofy ones. That dragon looks awesome and very well done, but the cartoony X’d out eyes and tongue hanging out kinda ruin it for me.

To funny haha! And I hear you on the Dragon, was no joke just talking to friends about how it was the best one there, but unfortunately the tongue and X eye killed it for me.

Qugi.2653:

I agree. First 2 winner in contest boring quaggan. I guess the person that pick the winner like cute boring quaggan because they were number one and two. I can see if first maybe was quaggan and then second something else. I like third place one best. It just seem obvious the person deciding prefer quaggan.

Thanks for understanding my point of view

lordkrall.7241:

And there we have it then. You complain about lack of (in your eyes) good selections, and yet you didn’t even try to do anything about it yourself by submitting something that would be good in your eyes.

lol w/e dude, all I know is we got 2 quggan winners, and nothing to serious.

lordkrall.7241:

So, mind showing us the emblem you submitted?

I didn’t submit any, who here says I did. However some other people out there had some GREAT art posted and instead we get 2 Quaggan winners….

Im so tired of these guild emblems that are “cutesy” garbage, its SUPER rare to give us ANYTHING that I can show as an emblem that says “Whoah”… , “That… that is pretty bad@#$”, rather than “awwwww”. Seriously Anet give us something good as far as emblems go for once! The winners were fine, though I cant remember a time we got something more intimidating, instead all we get is goofy, or cute. Because when you think armies of soldiers, charging at you you think Squirrels that are drawn by 5 yr olds…

If people think elitesm exist now… just wait for raids and high end fractal’s… I run with a zerker group now, yes we request zerker’s or rather a zerker since we’re usually missing 1 person, and we’re polite enough to have the person who is running full blown sentenil gear and running traps (a thief we got paired with yest. For example, and at the end of the path openly admitted and boasted about his sentenil gear) to at least finish that path. And then inform him hes not what we’re looking for. Though much like that thief, some player’s feel entitled to run with other’s, and thier playstyle simply because they belive they have what it takes to solo the world and our doing everyone around them a favor. Elitesm comes in 2 ways in this game 1: the aholes who kick immediately who think it’s all about the AP (who honestly are dumb, since their can be GREAT player’s out there with low AP) and 2: people who give others the chance to run with them through 1 full path and only kick when people afk without any notice or heads up (which is beyond annoying, especially when it’s mid battle), or have finished the path, only to find out they didn’t read the groups request on gear. At the end of the day people who QQ about the meta need to realize that no1 is forcing them to play with zerker’s and they can start their own lfg with or without any requests. Zerk groups are made out of preference, not made out to kitten people off. Goodluck out their everyone!

Tldr:
Not all zerker groups are vile.
Not all pugs are honest.
Not all pugs play hard.

Abdel Muhti.6431:

Halloween Spider Mini, gets green when its night ^(°-°)^

Yep certain Items in-game either weapons , or in this case mini’s will do that. Personally I would rather have the time of day being displayed somewhere on my hub, they could possibly even add a toggle on off feature to it on the options menu… wishful thinking

Strength.6851:

all right, from what I’ve been reading, is that a simple sun and moon icon or wheel could be implemented into the game for a better experience of immersion. Not only could it better immerse the player, but better inform the player to actually take out another set of weaponry to deal an additional 10% damage to enemies .

yea, i could see this being helpful considering i have a second set of night weapons, and for those out there that seek to be better in the gw2 community as well.

something as simple as the clock hud on majora’s mask could do as well but smaller and sleek.

Ha! thats awesome, never thought about it like that, but that would be to cool

It deffinately would be nice, and as mentioned before an overall rehash of the skies themes to have it where people are awe-struck by simply looking up would be epic, however unless it’s not rolled out with HoT I doubt they will put it on their immediate to-do-list. A simple moon/sun symbol I can see being easy enough (I can only imagine) where it won’t be a super time sink, and a feature much needed for dungeon runners, or people who simply want max dps output elsewhere.

Yea, if it was there before, and it was removed, hopefully it’s not to hard to bring it back. And agreed on the Princess scavenger hunt thing, flipping servers to find a night map wasn’t super fun lol.

Exactly Aeon, it would be a nice feature to add for many different things.

I couldn’t agree more, though unless it’s something they plan on releasing with HoT I doubt they will get to it, unfortunately. Some games have skies let up so nice its easy to lose yourself in them. So I figured at the very least an indicator would be an excellent addon to something bigger they can possibly get around to later down the road.

I have always wanted a mini moon, or a mini sun to indicate the time of day in-game. I am aware that some weapons show you this, and obviously how it looks out in the open world is an easy’ish indicator. However I think this would be a nice addon to the game, and would help with secondary night and day weapon swaps.

I Always found the players saying “Been playing since launch took a break in between, came back 2 1/2 yrs later and wtf no legendary yet WHY?!” (tad exaggerated) a complete joke. This “Legendary journey” is turning to be a complete crapfest that’s pushing me and some other SUPER dedicated vets away (which most dedicated vets do is explain/help/and walk new players along the game). ANET … first BIG mistake was allowing the precursors and legendaries to be tradeable in the first place (granted I wouldn’t have what I have now if not for this case, but buying your “legend” wtf…). So whatever we (people who didn’t take a break for months/yrs) grinded out our legendaries just so you can add a easier way of getting these (not confirmed, but why the hell would they add a new method then). And on top of all that …

“We also want to better preserve the prestige associated with crafting a legendary weapon, so the new legendary weapons, and their precursors, will not be tradable.”

Blew my mind… so all that work simply to get the prestige of the existing legendaries was all a joke… good job… I was excited for a new expansion, but this news… well its was what I had feared. 4k twilights and sunrises out there are already a bit much, soooo F it lets add another 10k… Terrible.

All this is my honest opinion, hate it, love it, idfc I stand by it, and they better make it a JOURNEY or continue on working on you’r stupid “New player experience” because that’s all you’ll have left by the end of 2015.

BS.

So you are complaining that the current Legendary Weapons have no prestige because they are tradable and easy to obtain. Now they are making new Legendary Weapons that are NOT tradable and will be presumably more difficult to obtain and you complain about that too?

I’m sorry but I must be missing your point here. Obviously the original Legendaries didn’t exactly turn out to be the most prestigious thing ever, but at least they learned from it and are trying to do it better with HoT.

Who ever said the current legendaries are easy to obtain, im simply saying in comparison to the new ones they are, just for the fact that you CANNOT buy them from the tp, and instead have to work your way to them. The truth in the matter is it took them 2 1/2 yrs to correct this! I like the new idea, but I think its bs that it took them this long to fix something crucial to veterans. Most people who disagree have little experience in fashionwars or can care less, but its what kept the people who beat the content over and over still interested in the game. All in all im not here to bash peoples opinions, but instead voice my own, I have TONS of love for this game… but I and many others feel like all we did was grind a timesink that is hitting the reset button with little to no care about those who spent it all.
