Guild Wars 2

I’m not gonna make a huge story or list of what i want, i’ll keep it short and give some examples.

I would love it if we would get more siege in WvW and i’m pretty sure alot of people would love it.
You make those nice living stories and new content with it so why not do a living story around WvW where you then introduce the new siege equipment we get?.

About the races, atm your race only gives you a different appearance and a few different skills. So why not make specialized siege equipment that only certain races could use?
For example motorized vehicles for the Charr or Giant heavy ladders/Siege towers for the Norn, and the favorite one of my idea’s.. The abbility to use Asuran players as ammo for trebuchets! (They would certainly all fall to their deaths at first! but people always find ways to survive!. such awesome things you could do)

Well that is my idea for WvW

i also agree with you and hope that they will give an aswer soon.

after a month of the game being out or so ive been hacked, ive sent a question twice: about if its possible for me to get my stuff back.
ive never heard anything back and later heard from a player that they wouldnt refund all the items that i lost, i was annoyed but accepted this and moved on.

i think there should be a way to get your lost stuff back tho, i hope that they will read this post and give a good responce to it.
and ofcourse i hope they will actually change something.

good idea, nothing more to say.

if prices go up even more, it will become much less appealing to buy things from the gem store.
i understand that there is a problem with gold sellers, but at this rate gems will become extremely expensive, atm you can get 72 gems for 1 gold and this is getting more expensive everyday.
wouldnt it be crazy if after a while you’d need like 3 gold for 100 gems?.
i have no magical idea that could make everyone happy, but i think arenanet should think of something for this and i hope they already are.

sorry for my grammar :P

i know that in the market the gem prices can change alot.
but the gem prices have gone up too much and too fast.
even if there is a huge discount on the market items, the prices are now around the same as they were a week ago without any discount on it.

i don’t really know how Anet can do anything about this or if they will even try, but i think that alot of players would like the gem prices to have a limit that will stop the price of gems to get higher and the same so they can get too low (this won’t ever happen tho)
at this rate the gems will keep going up and people will have to buy gems with real money to be able to get them without going broke in the game, i think that the gems should be lowered in price in a certain way and i hope that people will support this idea.

still loving the game, and looking forward to new events/content.

Moderator edit: removed CoC infraction

find a guild, it makes finding a party very easy.

this is a pretty late answer, but i’ll still give it.

if people don’t like the new gear/stats, then just don’t get it? exotic will still be just fine.
but it won’t be fair?? where won’t it be fair? WvW?, i have a lvl 42 charr warrior and ive defeated some lvl 80’s today in 1 vs 1 fights in WvW.
i know people that still use yellows or even greens and still get invited in party to enter dungeons so what is the big deal?

stop over reacting, stop with telling people that you will leave the game!, the thing that annoyed me most is people saying that the game is changing to wow.
wich is ridiculous.

goodbye

nope, blacktide atm

im in desolation, wich is doing very bad atm in WvW. a guild came to our server invited alot of active WvW players and was kicking kitten with all those players. then suddenly they switched to blacktide (the server we were fighting and still are) and they try to get all members to transfer.
so they probs took alot of our players and are now defeating us :c.

and yeah, also like to talk about stuff.

that heal is actually not bad ;o , if you hit and get a heal like that every 2 seconds it will probs be of good help for your team.

that you are telling him about more possibility’s is great, i actually never assumed that you were saying that my build had faults or anything like that .
for me this is just a good conversation about stuff ^^ .

what server do you play?

(i had to rewrite my post cause my internet screwed me so its shorter XD )

that heal is actually not bad ;o , if you hit and get a heal like that every 2 seconds it will probs be of good help for your team.

that you are telling him about more possibility’s is great, i actually never assumed that you were saying that my build had faults or anything like that .
for me this is just a good conversation about stuff ^^ .

what server do you play?

with the 4th shield skill, you trow a wave infront of you that gives you and allies protection and dmg to enemy’s.
so everyone that you hit with the skill get the protection.

yeah i have a very active build :P, how much do you heal everytime with the sigil of water?.

alot of playstyles that work are possible, you just have to find the one that suits you. and because it seemed that this person couldnt find it, i placed mine to help him out a little .

and yeah the third skill of the sword can be nice at times, but the problem for me with that skill is, is that you wont be able to move or the skill will cancel.
third skill of mace doesnt puts on a barrier, but you can still move around. when you get hit you’ll counter it and when you dont get hit everyone that was close will get protection (33% less damage for a while) so in pve i’ll keep the mace.
(in spvp i do use the sword tho :P)

Although might I suggest instead of Dolyak or Guardian Superior Rune of the Solider does Toughness, power, vitality I believe

rune of the soldier gives vit and toughness, i like how the 6th rune makes you able to remove a condition when you use a shout.
but it gives more vit then tougness, where dolyak gives more toughness and i prefer the toughness.
yes i try to play like a tank while supporting my party a little.

about the mace, only real reason that i use it is the third skill: it gives you and allies a shield that blocks the next attack and does counter damage, when you are not hit while having the shield, it will vanish and then grant you protection

the sigils are also to stay alive: both sets hold 1 leech and 1 energy, so when i’m out of block skills: i can dodge twice and swap, on swap i’ll steal health and get 50% energy to dodge a third time and by then i will have enough skills again to be able to fight again.

So i’m pretty tired and don’t want to sleep yet, so i’m posting the build that i like to use for WvW and dungeons.

like i said: i’m tired, so i won’t go in alot of detail where i count every hp that i get from a certain skill or how much dmg you take or anything like that.
this is just my build and i like it.

gear:
focus your gear on vit/toughness

weapons: mace/focus & scepter/shield
main weapons: superior sigil of energy
off hand weapons: superior sigil of leeching

runes: 6 superior runes of the dolyak. (i’m thinking of changing the runes a little so ideas are welcome)

Traits:
valor: 20, V/IX
honour: 30, IV/II/I
virtues: 20, VI/XI

Skills:
Shelter
Stand your ground
Hold the line
Sanctuary
Renewed Focus.

A little info:
This build is not made for doing damage, you are a hyperactive tank that takes the beating for your party so they can finish it… the thing about this build is that you will most likely survive that beating

as you can see, i use the sigil of energy and the sigil of leeching both twice.
for when you are out of defensive skills for a moment you can start dodging.
you dodge twice and switch weapons, on weapon swap you steal health and get 50% endurance back for a third dodge. (since both sets of weapons hold the same sigils it will always work like this on swap)

weapon skills:

first set: mace/focus
1: a little dmg and every third strike a small heal for you and your allies
2: a small symbol that will dmg you foe and regenerates a little health for allies.
3: grants a block/counter shield to you and allies that will do dmg when hit, and give protection to you and allies when not struck at all.
offhand:
4: a slow projectile that i only use to make my enemy blind
5: a shield that blocks 3 times

Second set: sceptre/shield
1: slow projectiles to simply do dmg
2: a small field on the ground that does pretty good dmg in a very short duration, most of the times used when i immobilized the enemy so he’ll get all dmg from this skill.
3: immobilizes for when i need to get away for a moment, also makes enemy vulnerable, 3% more dmg.
offhand:
4: a wave infront of you that give you and your allies protection, and a little dmg to foe.
5: a shield that knocksback enemy’s and wont allow projectiles to pass.

skills:

6: Shelter: doesnt heal alot, but blocks all attacks while healing.
7: Stand your ground: gives you and allies stability, and for you also retalation and a stun breaker.
8: Hold the line: grants you and allies, protection and regeneration.
9: Sanctuary: small shield that i use when i’m in trouble or when i need to res someone while surrounded by enemy’s, noone can enter or shoot trough it.
only problem with sanctuary is that its not safe when someone puts field spells on the ground where my sanctuary is.
10: Renewed focus: only guardian elite that i like, makes you invulnerable for 3sec’s and resets the cd on your virtues.

virtues now give on use:
justice: might + retalation
resolve: regeneration + retalation
courage: protection + retalation

hope it will work for you guys
So alot of blocking, dodging and protection that will keep you alive to be able to protect your party from harm

ps: you have no speed boosts like this, so take a staff with ya.

alright here is what i have to say about this :P

when you are in pve trying to get some good loot, just go with the mf gear.
as long as you are using the right build to stay alive you’ll do just fine with the lesser stats, also at most places that are being farmed alot there will be an overdose of players fighting the creatures so higher stats are simply not really needed there.
the higher stats are only very nice for WvW and dungeons, where you dont really need mf.
(oke in dungeons you can still loot some nice stuff, but i prefer to stay alive there ^^ )

when i got to lvl 80 i used mf gear and farmed cursed shore, later on i got more and better mf gear and noticed that people had something called nourishement, so i asked and they told me about the wonderful omnom berry’s so more and more mf and i was still doing just fine.
got my gear for dungeons/WvW with the money i got from farming and i’m a happy player.

MF gear should stay, and if you can’t survive with mf gear in pve then you are doing it wrong.
take a look at your skills & traits and try to improve things

i’m playing a lvl 80 guardian and i havent had any extreme problems with the dungeons, ive had lower lvls in my team that did great in the dungeons.
you have to work together to get trough this, and if it doesnt work then maybe you or your party members should try other builds.
i’m using a tank build that i will post here for you, and i hope for you that you are able to use it the way people should.

gear: focused on vitality/toughness

weapons: mace/focus & scepter/shield
main weapons: superior sigil of energy (for you major)
off hand weapons: superior sigil of leeching

runes: 6 superior runes of the dolyak.
(i might change the 6th with a superior rune of the guardian for a little more toughness, but atm i’m using this)

valor: 20, V/IX
honour: 30, IV/II/I
virtues: 20, VI/XI

Skills:
Shelter, Stand your ground, Hold the line, Sanctuary, Renewed Focus.

you won’t have any speed boosts like this so make sure to have a staff with you and only use it when you don’t need to fight.

this is not a build where you can button bash trough anything, so read your traits & skills and read the abillities of your sigils & runes.

if you use this build in the right way, you’ll have no problem tanking and you will help your party a great deal. i also would like more effective heals on a certain class (maybe a new one) but people always find ways to get trough things and this is a way you could use.

Goodluck

Greetz, Lynx.

i did not know this, ive been thinking that it was already like this.
but if it’s not then i agree with you.

your way of thinking is adorable and i agree!! :O
i also want a big fluffy dolyak following me around!!

i needed to place atleast 15 letters to be able to place my msg, so here it is:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i’m getting really sick of all the people shouting that gw2 will turn into wow, it simply won’t.
i like the idea of better gear, it’s another goal for me in the game to get it. dungeons work fine with exotics so there will be enough people that don’t mind at all that you’re not in full ascended.
WvW ofcourse you will have little higher stats then your enemy. but it really is more about the player then the stats when there is such a small diffirence, and it doesnt really matter if you have stronger gear then the rest when there is a zerg of 50 players coming at you.

all the whining and jabbering on and on about how this will ruin the game is uncalled for, just see it as your next goal in the game.

i like the idea alot!, then i’d like to add this:
an arena in the middle of nowhere (maybe in a new zone) where you can sign up and after a moment of waiting you can fight your opponent in the arena, i think that it would also be enjoyable for other players to watch it from seats in the arena and that they are able to bid on the fighters ;o

indeed
who even wears yellow underwear these days? ;o

i had this and ive restarted the game a few times, after 10 minutes i could enter again.

great ideas, and should be seen by Anet.

Nox Aeterna.2965:

All i want is to get javelins and halberds (please add them to guardians).

Honestly , swords are nice , but nothing compares to the beauty of the spear.

I would love a halberd for my guardian ^^
i think a great idea for thieves is the Katara, it’s a type of dagger (i’ll add a picture)

And for WvW i’d like siege towers!

YES!!!
i would love that!!

thanks for the info willow, so that leaves only the dungeon idea :c

alright, fixed :P

so… when a game gets new content like stronger gear it will become too much like wow?
i like the idea of better gear and in my opinion gw2 will still stay itself.

alright thanks for the info on turning it on and off, i ment an interface for the people in the squad with a small version of the map you’re in where the commander can draw and point out where he wants his squad to be.
the idea for the dungeon is that only a squad can enter such a dungeon so a commander is needed for that and would have a bigger role in the game.
sorry if that wasnt clear, ive already posted it on suggestions but because there is an idea for a dungeon in my post i didnt remove it.

i was going to talk only about the dungeon idea but got carried away and fergot that i was on the dungeon forum and not on the suggestion forum, so i posted it also there.

alright so i got an idea just now and i wanted to write a little about it before i forget.
not detailed or anything just an idea,

at the moment i’m trying to get money to become a commander for WvW, but the only thing a commander can do atm (that i know of, tell me if i’m wrong) is having a big sign above their head and can let people join their squad for squad chat, that’s not really alot you can do.

so what about things like this?:

a squad interface
so they can see who are following you and what their status is (maybe also a chat in that same interface, and maybe even a small world map where the commander can draw and point out the location for everyone in the squad to see on the small world map)

about the role for a commander in pve
as commander you don’t have a real role in pve.
so my thought on that is, wouldnt it be great for commanders to be able to let people join their squad for a dungeon that they can enter with around 20-25 people that is ofcourse made and designed for that amount of people with a big chest at the end that will give you some nice stuff that you really earned for getting there. (and add a limit so it cant be farmed for the whole fricking day every day every week but make it a challenge and kick them out when they failed certain things too many times)

i really like the idea myself and i hope you guys do too.
i know that this would take alot of work and that certain things may be seen as unfair by other players that dont know any commanders or are not lvl 80 but to those people i have to say this:
if things like this would ever come in this game, don’t forget that you can also get to a higher lvl and that if you act more social you’ll find friends that can help and ask people questions to learn. not enough people act like this and just whine about things instead of finding a way to better their play style.

alright a little offtopic there i believe, srry for the amount of text, i hope you guys like the idea and that it will reach Anets eye, gamers need something to strive for and you don’t have to be extra soft to new or low lvl players, if they are low lvl they still have enough to explore, so more content for the high lvl players (looking forward to the major update <3)

ps: don’t pay too much attention to my grammar & chaotic writing

the option to turn the commander sign on and off
a commander doesnt really have a role at all in pve and when they are running around trough for example cursed shore there will still be people following him making small events impossible, so an option to turn the sign off would be great (maybe there is an option for that and i just didnt know that)

about the role for a commander in pve
like i said before: as commander they dont really have a role in pve.

i also have this problem, everyone was just fine before it happened my laptop had no problems running it,

general specs:
i7 2,9 ghz quad
nvidia geforce 540gt m 2gb
8gb ram

i’m glad that there is so much to do, there are already too much players on certain events.
i’m just happy that not all the players are always on the same events, just walk a little longer to the things you want to go, it doesnt take very long (and 90% contested is just not true)

agreed, nothing more to say

so ive just done the mini dungeon in dredgehaunt cliffs wich you enter trough a dwarven gate in wyrmblood lake, it was complete darkness and we had to find our way trough it all and find the things we needed to continue our journey to find the treasure.
this was really my favorite dungeon (mini dungeon) that ive done because of things like this:

~it was complete darkness and we had blue torches to find our way

~the creatures in the mini dungeon couldnt be killed but they would vanish when they came in the light and wouldnt attack you as long as you were standing in the light.

~we had to find things in the darkness and i just liked that alot ^^

~at the end there was not a very strong boss, although all the lights went off and we had no torches anymore, so all the creatures we couldnt kill were also attacking us and it was overall just a fun fight

i would love to see alot more of things like this (maybe a very good idea to put large parts of things like this in actual dungeons ^^ )
Anet keep up the good work

ps: ~a little offtopic~
people have been fading away cause there were too much people already in my screen, before it was like that it was all just fine so please change it back or give us an option where we can change the distance of people showing up ourselves, if we want to burnout our laptops/pc’s then that’s our own choice right?

" i want that option myself.. I want control of the cull distance.. I want control of the cull distance." <- This my friends… is my Goal here<<— same here, my laptop has no problems with this game and there never was a problem for me until this, Anet please fix this fast cause it really is the only annoying thing for me about this amazingly beautiful game!

got the clocktower on 3 characters but sadly only made a screenshot of my charr in the tower :c
i had alot of fun tho, i only got annoyed after trying 2,5 hours in a row xD

so everything was just fine and everything worked great, now i have this issue of people fading away while i should be able to see them.
sure from an extreme distance i wouldnt say that its odd for people to suddenly pop in the screen, but what i have is that people from a short distance even just fade away and when i get really close i can see them again. i have this also with creatures but the main problem for me are the fading people.
i can’t remember when it started but what i do know is that it annoys me and that i want it fixed cause everything was working just fine and i hate the change.

i really love the game btw :P that i must admit, i think its really amazing.
keep up the good work and please fix this cause its really bad in WvW since i sometimes run after 2 guys and then suddenly i find myself right in the middle of an army that was invisible for me..
