Guild Wars 2

Just wanted to leave some of my thoughts here relating to aura’s. Fist I would like to say that I realy like the grasping hands aura from the outfit when in idle mode. Don’t own it but wouldn’t mind if they added the aura in some kind of collection.

Second a special aura for fractals, in combination with a +5 attribute +9 agony. Fist component is the +9 you have to make and buy from the merchant. Second a item given by a completed collection. Third some item that is a combination of crafting and buying items for pristine/normal relics. Last some sort of gift of ascension. This all combined made though a crafting recipe or mystic toilet.

Realy like the idea of aura’s and footsteps. If the ever released the fist legendary rings I hope they make for example your hand glow with a aura. Let’s say that each slot animates 1 hand so maybe in the future when there are more rings. Multiple animation/aura’s. Just a few thing I would like to share maybe it catches on and leads to a nice brainstorm of ideas that Anet would like to implement/use.

Cheer.

It’s a simple as the title says a infusion reward with a special aura exclusively to fracatls. I have a few ideas what needs to be in it while making it. At least 1 +9AR +5 stat as a base for the stats. Opinion askt for the lesser ones +5ar and +7 ar plus stats?

There needs to be a recipe for one crafted item. That is collected through collections, the box gives a repice and a special item that relates to the collection. Once crafted you can unlock another collection like the one from the last collection like the backpiece. That also gives a special item related to the collection.

And a forth item bought from one of the vendors for the right amount of currency. That all trown in the Mystic toilet makes 1 special aura.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Suggestion-New-rarity-Mystic-QoL/first#post4563580

I made a thread a while ago with the same suggesttion. Would de nice to stat select your asceded armor and weapons. If they did it they should make a maximum number of stats that you can infuse in it. If thats with exmaple ascended inscriptions or insignia’s or with real armor pieces example a sinister and a berserker stat gloves trown in the forge to combine them. Same goes with upgrades the amount of uprades per slot is the same as the max allowed stats on the armor.

Edit: With the current state of the game and how easy it is to get ascended armor, the upgrade should be an ascended Insignia or Inscription. And the next suggestion is a personal one gate it behind content. My example a one man instance/story to find a a person and/or a forge to make it. And when you make it trow in the armor piece or weapon plus the ascended upgarde plus a content related item for it.

Necro Elite Specialization.
Specialization Name is Lich.
Weapon Pistol Mainhand (condi based)
New Shroud is Lich Shroud.

This Elite Spec also removes Lich Form as a elite skill. Shroud is range Deadly claws is your number one skill Chilling Wind is your third skill but instead of pushing foes back it fears. This is for your terror trait to kick in for damage. Skill five is also the same second and fourth skill need to be made.

Mainhand pistol makes use of condis we need more condi on necro. Plus reaper was more cleave damage.

Elite skill comes from gw1 Aura of teh Lich this replaces Mark of horror more or less. This spell gives you an enchament when using summon a minion and one more for each Lich elite spec skill.

Heal skill is blood renewal (name based on gw1) gives regen based on active minions.

These are a few ideas fromthe top of my head and i think it’s a nice idea but subject to change and balance but keep the flavor of some gw1 skill names and the lich form from gw2

My Necro/Reaper 2016.

Ashenvall.1564:

I had already suggested this idea once but differently thought. I wanted make a “melt” of death shroud and lich form.

Could your link that post maybe we can combine something to for a more complete set of ideas.

Methuselah.4376:

I had thought about this at one time. It’s a cool concept indeed, but sadly one that we will never see

Maybe so but lets just hope ^^

This post is about something in my head that i just wanted to post to get it out there. After the adjustment to lich form elite i think we can inprove on it. This idea deletes lich form all together. The new form to lich comes in form of an elite spec new shroud weapon and skill’s.

The new weapon comes as an mainhand my preference was a pistol with condi applying bonusses. to give more condi stuff to make a necro what it supposed to do. Ofcourse the new shroud is lich shroud and the new name for the elite spec is called lich. Entering shroud removes condi’s or give a slight resistance bonus with de selected traitline. The shroud skills themself i haven’t worked out to much but there is a start in my head for what i would like to see. Some examples are lich skill 1,3 and 5 are nice for in shroud and maybe skill 3 can also apply fear (chilling wind)

Als for the elite spec skills use and adjust the existing lich skills. IMO reaper gives that slightly beter stuff then a necro themself. So the skills can be that litte stronger so for example the famous minion skill can be in his old glory or beter that it is now. the new skills can stay marks like 2 and 4.

The elite spec is about condi sustain that’s what i like to see this is just a quick post to get it out there and out of my head. Tell me what your fellow necro’s think about it, the necro in me needs some more options ^^

Cheers,

Same here every other game of application runs smooth, only gw2 suffers from problems. It stared yesterday in tangeld depths at rata novus pre event. And in LA i’m suffering from the same issues so ot isn’t hot map related.

You are not the only one i have a 100Mbit/10Mbit connection average ping is 500. I use the 64bits client and even on all settings on minimal i get 7 FPS. ATM the game is unplayable my home server is FSP EU.

The long loading time also affect Forum and Wiki everything GW2 related is haveing a winter break appearantly.

Hiya with legendary weapons and now armor i had an idea to save some inventory space. Let us fuse/combine same rarity armor and weapons together. With my fast variety of weapons and armors cludding up my inventory.

My proposal works as followd the only rarity this can be done with is exotic and ascended with a max of 5 stat combo’s. So it would be something like a legendary lite with stat selection only for the armor/weapons fused.

You can add runes and sigils as much as you have fused armor/weapons 3 pieces of armor allow 3 runes and 5 armors 5 runes also can be selected ooc.

To make it fun they can add a small dungeons/raid that you have to complete to get to this so called forge to make your stuff. Or a npc who helps you with this to add some depth. Or at least some content to be done and not slab it in.

Cheers,
Nassaya.

After reading some stuff I think it has to do with gw2 itself. Is it the reused gw1 engine I dunno. Core load with gw2 is 80% on module 1 core 0. Memory use is 2.9gb when I walk and 5 gb peaks in big events. Graphic card use is normal. So got Juise to spare still awful fps.

Those are the guild halls

You not the only one same here 5 fps in max settings and 15 to 20 fps on lowest settings peaks of 25 when i stand still. this is on the 32 and 64 bit client.

Setup
- AMD FX8150 4.8Ghz
- 8GB ram
- R9 280x memory speed 7000 core clock 1200 3GB

I know i’m gonna get the AMD Intel core thing. Still don’t know what to think about it. Tried core parking doesn’t get better 2,4,6,8 from each module. Can’t get my thick head around it that the runs like kitten on my computer.

Chers,
Nassaya.

There seems to be added in game lore to the guild halls in Tarir. This explains the placement of them. So my prior argument about the placement op top of reed bog and Ventri’s refuge gives room to why they are there. Nice touch Anet thubs up. Though Guilded Hollows could be replaced with something like duid’s isle theme guild hall to fit the scenery of old times.

Cheers.

First of all I would like to thank Anet for the expansion Phenomenal job gratz. I love the new biome got me lost in tangled root sometimes and loved the canopy in verdant brink. Enjoyed the meta events although haven’t been part of tangled root one. Just had little thing but for me it’s a big thing so sorry ^^. The placement of the guild halls they just don’t seem fit the world where they are placed. The gilded hollow in particular it’s on top reed bog plus the huge water mass behind bet top where ventari’s refuge should be just doesn’t fit. Couldn’t the guild halls be places in the mists of a place where they fit the scenery? And free those places for fitting zones or a guild hall made to fit the placement.

Cheers.

Vayne.8563:

As far as I can tell, they didn’t update the bank. The stuff you have in your bank was copied over last time, not this time.

I have about 400 gold more in my main account than I do in my beta account.

Thx Dude it’s a shame but i have to deal with it.

Cheers.

Just a quick question and hopefully a awnser. Before the beta i put all my ascended gear in my bank so that my beta char could use it. But when i make one the gear isn’t there. The only thing that i could think of is that the deleted char from previous beta still had the gear on and that they didn’t reset the data. So i’m kinda stuck with exotic and can’t do fractals plus i made that gear for HoT.

Cheers.

Hiya kinda noticed that last week my game stops working after i return to desktop and want to return to the game. if i open task manager it says GW2 doesnt respond. At the same time my entire computer needs a hard reboot to even use it again. So maybe becourse of that i don’t get a crash report. This started to happen after last update can’t elaborate more becourse nothing more happent becourse of the hard reboot.

Cheers.

Zaron.1987:

the problem is that their are so many threads out now with guys that thought they were very clever and can exploit the system —> failed--> starting Q.Q and blaming anet. ( at monday /tuesday there will be even much more and ALL of them found their pre in open world^^ xD)

So for example i thought yours is just another one when i read it sucks and pre in beta -_-´

if you had fun with getting it and knowing that it will gone all is fine

Like you said they knew it get’s deleted after monday. I still find it funny that this happent to me. it’s also the first time i used the forge in 2000 hours and it was the third or fourth forge ^^

Ofcourse it sucks but i can see the fun in it. Thought i would share it for fun but how wronmg was i^^

Ok i feel allot of hostility here i was never mad and i do not complain it’s just kinda fun that it happens. Hopefully this doesn’t deminish my real account possiblity. Again it thought it was fun to share and i get this.

Used the forge for fun

This just happent to me got the chosen precursor in the beta. We know we can’t keep it but this just sucks. My first pre ever at this moment

Hiya yall been thinking of making a guardian after the new patch. I need Some advice and i have some ideas of my own. I don’t wanna follow the zerk stuff so i throught about zealot’s armor stats. POWER precision and healing power. Mace/Shield with Staff also zealot’s. Power and precision for damage and healing for me and others. Sigil one and on both weapons is a heal on weapon swap. Second sigil i’m still thinking about. Runes i’m still looking into.

Traits lines is something for after the patch and becourse the stats are being removed. I would like some input what you people think about zealot’s stats. I have the recipe’s but spending 10 gold for each watchwork mechanism kinds drains all my gold. ^^

Cheers,
Nassaya.

Don’t know if this is the right place but wanted to start a disscusion about a 3d mouse and it’s configuration and prefrences. Got the basics worked out only need the big knob to work like mouse movement. So any input how to do it right is welcome. ATM i own a 3dconnexxion spacepilot pro the screen is a nice addon becourse your tasks ingame show and per map the to do list with hearts and PoI.

Maybe just an idea i love the thought about playing a dwarf. But maybe they can add a dwarven battle tonic. I don’t see them coming back so maybe they can meet the people half way with this.

I made a thread ones about a dwarven battle ale. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/suggestion-Dwarven-battle-ale-tonic/first#post4821208
Just an idea

Guardian of Angels.9867:

This my space charr it’s an alt but she needs to look good.

I know the helm but what is the rest of the armor that you are using?

Looks really good though, nice

I know these at least:

Shoes: magitech
Chest: Heritage (Hall of monument)

I did pm him personal for al the parts, and you right about those 2 parts ^^. The rest is Outlaw gloves and shoulder and carapace leggings.

This my space charr it’s an alt but she needs to look good.

Test.8734:

Dragonax.6487:

So, I think it’s reasonable for legendary to have a function that enable players to switch between Sigils.

All ascended and legendary gear should allow players to switch stats and sigils/runes freely, once they have been unlocked.

But that would remove too much of the grind from the game, so I doubt ArenaNet would do that.

A while ago i made a thread about stat swapping on Ascended gear. The general idea was ascended could have a max of 5 stat combo’s but only if you fuse for example a beserker stat with a soldier stat greatsword to be allowed to change between those 2 to a max of 5. This would allow to save some invent space if you use mutlible stat combo’s for builds.

Same did go for the runes and sigils of those weapons/armor. the amount of upgrades on it can’t be more than the stat combo’s and upto 5. How does this tie in with legendary well if you own twilight for example you can slot as many sigils chrest on it as you want but only swap it like the stats ooc.

Cheers.

I would love to play closed beta. I’ll be honest people who where around with the initial release of GW1 and where loyal should get first pick. ^^

Cheers,

I’m a huge fan of dwarfs in general and i would like to play as a dwarf. And i think we will not see playable dwarfs anytime in gw2. So maybe just maybe they can make a combat tonic that makes a character a dwarf for an hour with no cooldown time.

My idea would be like use the norn armor skins. And with cultural armor that it gives a dwarven only armor skin. And for the male/female part (It is implied by Ogden Stonehealer that the female dwarves also have beards and are in fact seen in the game [gw1]) but maybe give them some female appeal.

As for the way to get it maybe a collection of scavenger hunts the likes of mad memiours or mawdry to collect a nice backpiece and when you complete it you get rewarded with the tonic. I’m willing to put in some effort to be a dwarf.

Cheers.

My name is Nick i’m 28 years old 29 next week. I’m Dutch my daily work is teacher on a school for Special education. We have a large array of students Autism and ADD and people who lost their jobs and are just their to fill the day. Just to name a few

I like boardgames Arkham horror, 1830, History of the World to name a few that i have played last 2 months. I play D&D 3.5 still love my killroy Stoneskin inspired dwarf ^^ For the rest i’m a daily visitor of the gym becourse a healty body is a happy body (it makes me feel happy after a hard days work)

Been playing videogames for a long time and been a supporter of the GW universe since the beginning. Tried other MMO’s but none keep me interested as GW does. Do own a large array of consoles starting with a NES a Super NES N64 Wii PS1,2,3 Xbox 360. Till this day never bought a PS4 planning to buy one ^^

Further i’m a Whisky lover you can wake me anytime for a fine malt.

Cheers,
Nick.

i’ll just leave it here secretly i hope they become playable. They said no new race to play with but one can hope. I would be so happy if they said " Ha fooled ya here’s the new race to play with enjoy" A new race will give me the motivation to make a new alt.

Cheers.

Sad enough i will not be making a revanant. Why you ask i can’t play charr and norn, they are just to bulky and slow moving with their size. I know it’s the amimation they have and they are still as quick as the rest i just don’t prefer those races. And i do have a charr and norn just don’t pay them. As for the other 3 i have a human asura and a sylvari and i do enjoy playing them but just can’t play them roleplay wise -_-’ sorry. And a reroll on PS just doesn’t motivates me. If they add a new race that will give me a new challange and game experience. But that’s not gonna happen but still i hope for a big suprise that they say look new race ^^ cough Monkey king tonic cough

Cheers

Don’t know why but i but i hope that they add the race from the monkey king tonic. They have a cool jump and dodge. Plus if there is a new weapon i hope it looks like this

Iason Evan.3806:

It just needs to be tighter during the meat of the rising action and tension and body of the story for it to work as a complete thing.

Got it. Tighter meat.

Hah. Sadly, it seems like Elysian’s suggestion is the only serious one when you’ve written it like that. :P

Paradox.1380:

Peter has made this thread… incredibly entertaining to read. Also Mmm Bloodstone Waffles. Gah that joke is the best i laughed so hard when my friend linked me the recipe for that.

Recipe? I feel I’m missing something here.

wwwes.1398:

Maybe I’ve just binge-watched Buffy on Netflix too much lately, but they do a really good job at the “big bad” long term stories, and it always involves exposition that comes from library and throwing around ideas in a big group after the action ends.

You say that like it’s a bad thing to watch a lot of Buffy (and Angel).

And yeah, those shows do have interesting long-term villains/rivals.

Just to trow it out there i see peter here and i see allot of food talk. And konig dropt the recipe word. How about some new recipe ingame? Droobert style ^^. Plate of Quagan sushi or a feast of quagan sushi.

Just wanted to drop it here cheers.

Was just reading some reddit and came across this beauty ^^

It really made my day Anet should hire the lad.

For those who played GW1 there was a treasure hunter title for opening chest with lockpicks 1500 gold and expensive keys 600 gold (GW1 currency). Would be nice to have it here again and add the regional keys back in again like ascalon key, magumaa key, Krytan key and so on. With their own uniuqe chest skin ofcourse.

Maybe add a account keychain to hold these keys and if one opens a chest you get nice goodies. Add the lockpick also this one could be used mutible times if it didn’t break.

And add some fancy title and AP to it ofcourse. I’ll be going to sleep just wanted to put it out there so i can sleep well ^^.

Cheers,
Nassaya.

@Zoid —→ Raises fist pound it.

@ Miku The number of swappable stats can de adjusted to a lower number 3 or something. But with full legendary gear on a main you set for live IMO. The increase of damage is of the table ofcoarse but remembers if you look at te wiki raritytable basic rarity is zero and so to speak 100% exotic is 165% and ascended 175% and rare is even lower 145% damage.

The recipe sounded fine in my head ^^ needs some work tho. It’s a basic idea many minds can make it a good workable endresult. But to say one needs 2 ascended pieces of armor to fuse doesn’t change anyting TBH the idea of a exotic piece to fuse with the ascended makes the current make a bit more accesssable for mostly everyone. And to add an exotic equivelent every one can enjoy the swappable stats.

Zoid.2568:

Mystic is a new tier in World of Warcraft and now this fanboy wants mystic in Guild Wars 2 as well. I don’t really know what this new mystic tier would prove as purpose.

I just had to respond to this i never ever played WoW ^^ been hooked to gw1 and 2 only. I did not know that this was in WoW it just came to me at work. This has no correlation to Wow what so ever just pure coincidence.

lioka qiao.8734:

I have to agree with the No camp if only because the current power creep is immensively expensive to acquire. I’ve put off making ascended armor because it is so expensive to make. Talking 500g+ for a full set. Another tier of armor would force me to make ascended armor to stay competitive and I simply can’t afford to do it.

Ok lets adjust the idea and say one can do the same with Exotic only then you need a rare piece of equipment to fuse with your exotic. It still becomes mystic only without the infusion slot. also with 5 dropdown selections. Without power creep it stays the same stats of the highest gear.

To keep legendary legendary one has to make a legendary rune or sigil. If the armor and trinkets cost the same as a weapon wel they can put the time effort and money into it. A legendary sigil has al superior sigils into it, same for the legendary Rune.

To connect back to GW1 we could do a dungeon/raid or another piece content to find a seer that wil fuse 1 exotic set with rune and 1 rare set with rune to make a mystic with both nomenclature stats and both runes in dropdown. Same goes for the ascended and exotic counterparts.

DarkWasp.7291:

I think it’s just the wording of the OP.

If I’m not mistaken, the suggestion isn’t to add stats to each other but to add options to the dropdown.

It would be exactly like legendaries, but would not include every nomenclature. Just up to (5) depending on which items you merge.

For example 1 berserker legging + 1 rabid legging = 1 mystic legging which can be either berserker or rabid.

If I’m not mistaken. Or is that “mystaken.” (Ba da chh!) Yeah go ahead and shoot me now

You Sir/Miss are right thats what i meant i really need to work on my english thx for typing it out right.

Seera.5916:

You do realize that no one objected to the method or the stat switching or the sigil/rune switching?

It was only the damage increase that people objected to.

But legendary gets upgraded to match the best weapons so it would get the same ability right off the bat. So you would likely get to choose what the other sigil/rune sets are (we’ll likely one day have legendary armor most likely).

I know if i misundersrood them i appologize and if i didn’t make myself clear enough then i need to work on my english^^. Legendary weapons/armor/trickets will be every build in one set but with a huge price tag. But how would you intergrade this idea then? A new piece of armor with no damage increase so that we have some QoL to clear out our inventory.

Cheers,

Devildoc.6721:

Absolutely not.

You want gear treadmill there are plenty of other MMO’s that offer that.

Guild Wars has made one of its premises being that it was relatively easy to get max stat gear, it was rare skins that was to be the challenge. This makes PVP a more even playing field

Anet already did its appeasement of the World of Warcraft gear hamsterwheel crowd with ascended. That was ENOUGH of a betrayal of the MMO manifesto. We don’t need that to be a regular thing, most people don’t have full ascended gear especially not across all characters.

The treadmil is there with ascended your right but how many sets do you use on your main? I have a Rabid ascended Zerk Sinsiter and soldiers and (rampagers trew it a way and replaced it with sinsiters) . With my idea i can use my hard worked Ascended and fuse them with my exotics to be hald way legendary with 5 stat max to a armor so the gear treadmil that there would be is that one nededs to make a few exotic sets to fuse with their hard earnt ascended set.

Seera.5916:

It does break the current balance!!!!

Let’s say exotic weapon does 100 damage.

Ascended/Legendary (they are the same stat wise) version of the weapon does 110 damage.

“Mystic” would do 203-204 damage (185% of 110 is 203.5, and I don’t know how the game rounds).

So Mystic would do about DOUBLE the damage of Exotic. End game is supposed to be doable by people with RARES or EXOTICS. Your tier would trivialize end game content! Because ANet would not be able to balance out the enemies to take the increased damage!

No. They add in a tier above Ascended and I will leave the game. Permanently. No questions asked. No gear treadmill. Especially one that trivializes content and makes other tiers obsolete.

Like i said it doesn’t have to be more powerfull then ascended i can be the same no harm done. And how long does it take you to make 4 sets of exotic armor? You can make them with crafting buy them from tp or dungeons. You need to craft for the new stat combo’s like Noamd’s and sinsiters for example.

The damage is already done i do understand with the introduction of ascended we got a bit of power creep. My idea does not break the current balance it just adds QoL to someones invent. The fist one is my current invent the second after they add my idea ^^ A person has multible exotic armors and trickets for ones build. atleast i have on a few chars. And it makes ascended more wanted with the new upgrade to it.

It’s a mixture between ascended and legendary. Exept after your crafted one set of ascended armor you can upgrade it with a exotic piece of armor to max 5 stats options with runes. Instead of full 5 ascended sets you only make 1 and 4 exotic sets to get 5 stat options on your Mystic armor. Like i said the 185% damage is open for debate. After the upgrade is still becomes mystic but stays at 175% damage. It’s like the swiss knife 5 into 1. And for example it’s a light mystic set with Zerk, Rabid, Dire, Sinister and Cleric set and 5 rune sets. So it can be used accros 3 classes so thats not 15 sets of armor but just 1 that one can swap between light classes it Happens with ascended ATM my idea only makes it alt friendly.

Could not think of another title and allot of people would think the worse when they wil hear ‘’look new rarity your ascended became obsolete’‘. But the idea i’m about to share sounds alright in my head. And maybe we could discuss how to make it work to.

It’s called Mystic early on the wiki when you looked at rarity mystic was on that list with the color red. How does my version work.

It’s a mix of ascended and legandary, the wel know thing about legendary weapons is that one can choose their own stats all stats are represented i think. I do not own a legendary so correct me if i’m wrong. My idea with mystic is that for example 1 piece of light armor can have (max) 5 diffenent stat combo’s. and does 185% damage so it’s power creep. We can say well we don’t increase damage but that open for debate.

To not make ascended obsolete a person needs a piece of it to upgrade light stays light and medium and heavy stay what they are. If you have for example a ascended Zerk stat heavy armor piece one can upgrade it with Rabid stats for example the moment you do that it becomes Mystic and the armor turns from pink to red thus being Mystic.

To do this you need 1 piece of ascended armor (Zerk) with a rune (Krait) what one you want to have on the selection options. Plus a piece of exotic armor (Rabid) with a rune (Undead). A Superior Vision Crystal ( Needs 10 Bricks, Fragments and Ingot plus a Augur stone) plus a 4th item to upgrade. When your done with this step you can choose from a Zerk and a Rabid stat out of combat and a krait rune or a undead rune.

Just wanted to share this idea to get out of my head if people like or not that a matter of opinion. ^^ This way or similar variation i’m willing to work on to get my BIS equipment. I’m not a big altoholic got 5 chars and 3 with many ascended stuff but my main uses 4 differant sets of armor and 1 of that is ascended so this way i can get some QoL options.

Cheers

I already have a few of those new inscriptions, but they gave caithe’s blossom a pricetag to buy so there is no differance if it’s bandit badges or laurels of guild commandations.
