Guild Wars 2

Not interested in going beyond Exotics. I do PvE content only. I rarely play Dungeons in story mode ( Played 2 awhile ago with a fellow reaper in AC. Just the two of us. We had no issues. ) play explorable mode once in a blue moon. Fractals I play once in a blue moon. WvW I never play. PvP I have not even cleared rank 6. I have not even done a raid.

Been playing since Halloween 2012, and I have 17 or so characters. I do world Bosses, Achiements, ( over 5,000 points ) Holiday stuff, or farm for gold. Other then that I do character Development. I have never gotten a Precursor, never got beyond 300 in crafting, and the precursor hunt I could care less about.

I mostly stuck to having fun with friends, guildmates, and there is enough content for me right now to play for hours somedays. I solo in the Jungle, I replay content, and enjoy the holiday events.

Yeah never got that far in Prophecies. Only the Old Dwarf Camp. Hired a runner to get me there. Lol that was back in 2007.

I know what they are. Pawns of the fallen God. Lol I just said they look like destroyers.

Same here. Guild leader. Gotta get the new stuff. I made it very clear that I don’t require my guild mates to buy anything when it comes to expansions. I have to tho.

Hmmm. Maybe. I suppose shot from the proper perspective, with limiting what you see in the shot, that could be the case. I’ve fought that boss many times. The acid one too. Yeah they do create a scorched area.

I thought since the elder dragons seem to be made of elements, that Primordious was encroaching on Mordramoth’s territory. They all fight each other according to lore, and the Fire Islands are kinda close to Meguma.

I suspect that is where Primordus is hiding. The Fire Islands. The Titians from GW1 kinda looked like Destroyers.

Any other idea on what those could be? I know the spring content update is going to retune content. Not add new content. Do you also think Primordus could be what SS3 could be leading up to? June is fast approaching. June for SS3 is just tentative I am sure, but would be nice if SS3 was in June.

A long time ago in a teaser for heart of thorns, we saw some fire creatures moving around in a scorched area. They’re faces look similar to the fire vambrace helm.

Again we see the same creatures in the April 19 spring update trailer. I admit I have not gotten 100% in heart of thorns, but I have access to all 4 maps. Any ideas what these creatures are? I would say Destroyers, but have found no evidence in my travels that there are Destroyers in the meguma wastes. ( Except the personal storyline where you fight one dragon minion from almost every dragon. )

Is it a hint at our next expansion? Our next Living world story?

your not crazy. colin said on a post in the news section that it was today. he posted November 2nd, 2015 about upcoming 2015 attractions. I think the ESL PvP league has delayed it.

if your hosting a PvP game, you don’t make people restart. I am sure after it is over for today.

Absolutely not. I could not figure it out at the time of posting this. Shortly after posting it, I did figure it out. I forgot to post that I figured it out. Sorry bout that. my bad.

i have zerker stats on, the torch on, rage abilities. I have no idea how to activate zerker mode, or primal abilities. Still using 3 tiers adrenaline. Help anyone?

Well I just created a topic about this a bit. However it could be expanded to say, when we gonna get in the new area this time Anet?

Ah. You forget that Guild Wars 2 is a spiritual successor. Not a sequel. At anytime, devs could throw Guild Wars 1 lore out the window and say “Hey! We found a cure for the dwarves!” Or “All known dwarves underwent the right of the great dwarf. There was just some that did not that we did not know about!”

As far as I know, spiritual successors have been known to play fast and loose with known lore their game is based on, and quite often create their own lore. Even creating their own lore that contradicts the lore their game based on.

I wouldn’t expect it from a beloved game, but worse has happened with games that have cult followings. Even to the point fans doing a total boycott. You know passionate Star Wars fans are. Han Solo did not shoot first!

Okie Doke. I’ll remove them all then. I will just make a list with rated difficulty then.

Well that is good to know. I was beginning to think some people would never get around to earning some of those world boss achievements.

I did play the early non changed version. I was there when Anet did change him too. Teq and Triple Trouble also have their own achievement section too I noticed. I am sure it has been there for a bit.

Alright. I’ll remove Teq and TT from the list. I’ll add Kraka Queen till I get a response from someone here about the Queen. I am going to try all of them again myself, if I can find a group.

Did Anet give any reason why they doubled the health of the world bosses without scaling the damage? I find Shadow Behemoth pretty tame now. Perhaps it is just me.

I am making a small list for the new guildies, with the World Bosses that are now impossible to defeat due to the doubling of their health.

I have Tequatl The Sunless, and The Triple Trouble Jungles Wurms on this list so far. These make the top of the list because as far as I know they were way too much trouble to deal with for the reward offered.

Is there any I should add? Am I mistaken about the ones I already have?

I am aware that GW2 has had free trials in the past. Once in November 2012 with the new Southsun Cove add on. I invited a few people then. Then I believe another time. Don’t remember when.

Any chance we will see a 7 day free trial being able to be claimed all the time instead of special events? GW1 had it that way.

The free trial for GW1 was what sold me on buying it back in 2007. Hell I even wanted the expansion for one Christmas.

DevilLordLaser.8619:

I’m going to tell you a secret.

The game will come out when it comes out. Whether or not ArenaNet tells you when that date is two months or ten months in advance, the date on which the game releases will not change.

It’ll release when it’s done. When they know when that’s gonna be, they’ll tell us. Until then, anything they said would just be a falsehood that would get hurled back into their teeth by the slobbering barbarians who populate these forums. Why should they open themselves up to that when the majority of the playerbase is in on the ‘When It’s Ready’ joke.

Which isn’t a joke because it’s the flippin’ truth. Settle your jimmies. It’ll come out when it comes out. In the meantime do other stuff.

I’ll tell you a secret. I already know that. I’ll tell you another secret. They have it within their power to give us an ETA. I can’t live “it comes when it comes”. Take the Kickstarter project Greedmonger. It is now never coming out and the backers are preparing a lawsuit. Those people got tired of waiting.

I am not saying grab your torches and pitchforks, but as an Anet example I started hearing about Guild Wars 2 coming in 2008. It got released in 2012. That is a long time. A long time for me to sit on info. I just don’t want to see that happen here.

I like the guys that are saying it’s coming in summer but no later then September. That is something I can live with. As far as I can tell it is official speculation. Did Anet give that window tho?

pandorasbox.6340:

It is not a very large request.

They’ve got two choices:

1) Give a date, which will be an ‘initial’ date, then something won’t quite be ready, and it’ll have to be put back a little. Then something else will have been unforeseen, and will have to be put back. All while this is happening, people will be complaining about it being ‘delayed’

2) They don’t give a date until it’s ready. No broken promises, at the request we loyal and humble players be patient.

I prefer the latter.

You can have your humble pie if you want. I hear it tastes really bad.

Me personally I would never complain about it being delayed because I am well informed. I know it is a WIP, and the date is just there to give us an idea. It is not set in stone.

I know Hell fire and brimstone is not going to rip open the earth because someone said fall 2015 and it is now December 2015. The start of winter.

ronpierce.2760:

We estimate tomorrow, give or take some time.

Some time? It has been almost 6 months since announced at PAX. I know patience is a virtue, but I only have so much of it. Currently the expansion is in TBA form. TBA could mean tomorrow, it could mean winter 2016.

Telling us Q4 2016 would be better then this.

I have had enough teasing. I have heard enough about world vs world, PvP, class changes, core changes, spec changes, item changes, UI changes, bug fixes, and combat changes. I am not willing to hear any more teasing. I can only take so much without a day to look forward to.

I want to hear about a release date. That is it. Simple. Give us a date. I will even sign a petition to the devs to hear a tentative release date. Just give us a date. It is not a very large request.

Well I got an answer. I was told I can do them a favor next time by submitting an in game bug report, or posting on the bug report forums with a screenshot. The request I made to have my charges was ignored, and not even mentioned in the email. I shall email them back and inquire about it since I just checked my account and nothing was as compensation.

As I said it was a long shot, but I find the fact that they ignored my request entirly to be quite insulting. I was expecting a denial, or we need time to review your request. Not it being ignored all together.

Nope. I went into dyes because I wanted to change the colors on my lich, that is when I made my discovery. I started fiddling with the dyes Saw a I had 37 charges, and hit apply. Since I knew dyes were free, and it kept my lich outfit the colors I chose, I did not expect it to takes charges.
After closing the hero panel, I saw there was no change, checked my account wallet, and saw 32 charges.
I did not mess with anything else. I have said that 3 times now.

I have been playing off and on since Halloween 2012. I joined during the even because I had not touched GW1 since 2008 and it went under my radar. A good friend informed me about GW2 and my favorite Holiday in GW1. ( favorite holiday in real life too btw ) I have seen GW2 pop go up, go down, go left, go right, seen gw2 spin in the air, and plunge into the river.

I think it is doing well after almost 3 years.

Oh the stories I could tell. Not enough time to jot them all down sadly. I dunno how much of the GW1 engine can be overhauled tho. GW2 runs totally different despite it having a heavily modified GW1 engine. It does not even feel the same at times.

I think what he wants tho is a total removal of the system. That your armor doesn’t break down anymore. That is going to take a lot of time and coding. Like a lot a lot. Maybe they could add it in a quality of life patch or the heart of thorns?

I did. Shortly after making this. Thank you for everybody responding. I appreciate it.

I do agree with that. I would be angry I am just imagining what Anet would say. They might not let you declare them trolls because it is part of the game system.

( tried another word. Form edited it to kittened. I would never use such a word. )

Aye. Since the systems are just there, and the price is free, it makes sense to do it. Unless you like running around in your skivvies. You would get squished very easily by a champion.

Takes me back to the days where Rangers where running around in queensdale with their grizzly bears in nothing but a yellow bikini. The old bot days. Before the great bot hunt in gw2.

During the great bot hunt, the bots migrated to Brisban Wildlands for refuge, and to continue hunting. Back then no one really went there.

Nothing changed. Same old armor. Same black wings on my back. I seriously through it was a 1 time payment to use the dye. Or perhaps unlock it. My old armor looks kinda weird with the black wings on the back. I am using a combo of the winged mantle, seer mask, and the rest is the zodiac armor for elementalist. Now I go the black feather wings on my back as opposed to the old wind catcher back I was using.

It doesn’t matter. I got ripped. Big deal. It happens to all of us at one point in our lives. Today was just not my day to get on gw2. I hope you guys had a chuckle about my computer not taking the screenie. Lol.

It is the “kessex hills people wanting events to fail, but someone comes over to complete it. Even tho they jump up and yell stop. So ban those trolls argument.”

Anet said that argument was invalid because it was part of the In game systems. I am sure dragging over a champion whatever it is to a place it is not supposed to be is too.

Well yeah. They just did the quick fix and modded the cost to zero instead spending days upon days, months upon months, removing the system entirely. As a guy who knows code, that is the easy way out honestly.

Agh! And windows took a photo of my desktop instead of the game! Stupid computer!

Well it fixed itself. no more proof after reloging. I Relogged to check if I had all 37 charges back. I had 37. Now I have 32. I sware on my mother’s grave. On my honor as a hero in guild wars 2 I messed with nothing else. I know how to use what they put in except that. I though they gave us all the dyes for free at one point. It intrigued me. I fiddled with it. I lost charges. I can still send a photo if you wish. It says zero now.

I was just trying to raise awareness for other players and honestly did not expect to get a response to this, or my charges bk. it is not a big deal. I lost 5 charges. I just payed for something in game, but did not get it.

Then it’s a bug on my account. Ty. I hope support gives me a refund since I did nothing but mess with the dyes. Maybe if I re log could it fix it?

Edit: Relogged. Says it’s 32 still. crappy.

I noticed that we have a bunch of locked dyes today. It may have been there for awhile, but I just noticed it. The dyes I have unlocked are free. Locked dyes are a trans shard. Without knowing what was going on, I spent charges on locked dyes for my lich outfit. It did not change a thing, and I went from 37 charges to 32 charges.

I am going to contact customer service about it. It is a long shot. Just posting here to warn other players about my experience. I don’t want you to repeat my mistake.

How do we know they are not legendary armor, trinkets, rings, or earrings?

I distinctly hearing them say “Legendaries”. I believe armor with legendary tier would fall under that. Assuming weapons is a safe bet tho.

We might get skins of everything. There are some legendary weapons that are a little more silly looking. As much as I like whimsical weapons, some of my characters want serious looking stuff. They want to hit monster with a glowing hammer rather then a championship trophy from the moot.

If there are new weapons, I would file them under the new class progression system as part of that major feature. Example: Rather the modify the warrior to use a 2 handed axe, have the subclass warlord introduce us to it. They also may make those new weapons for 80 only.

It could also be a way of ensuring that we buy an expansion, because no one can use that new weapon until they buy it. It really doesn’t matter because every current player is going to buy an expansion. It may be because you will need to go to the new place in living world season 3, it may be because you feel your being left behind in terms of progress. Maybe cause you want to try your hand at hang gliding.

Most companies have a way of making you feel regret for not buying the expansion. I hope that Anet will not do that. GW1 has core skills that you could get reguardless of if you have factions, or nightfall. My hope is that they will legendary weapons will be made available to everyone, and that other key parts such as allowing the base warrior to wield a 2 handed axe or spear will affect brand new players to the game. It sucks to buy something, then realize you have to spend more again because something is locked in the game.

Yes. I have played it. Fact is, they could have guessed. The dragon can commune with the Silvari, so it is not out of the realm of possibility that they could of guessed, and the dragon confirmed it.

As far as proof from player stories, I have not run into that story. I would imagine it would be level 10 or 20. I really don’t delete characters once I have made them to start over on a different story line. Thank you for the info.

I find being being proven wrong on theories, just as exciting as being proven right! This expansion may again prove to do more about what we know of the Silvari, and honestly the fact that we all know nothing about them day1 from when you first joined the game is exciting itself.

It is interesting. I always suspected additional pale trees. The one we know can’t be the only one. The fact they are minions proves it. This pale tree may be the only good one.

The nightmare court itself may be the only Silvari from the pale tree we know who are aware of their true purpose as well. As of right now, I find no proof of that other then the nightmare being found in the dream, and the name nighmare court.

$100,000,000,000.00

Love that movie!

pandorasbox.6340:

I am not good at math sadly, so I do not know the USD to EURO equation. As far as I know, the limited boxed edition was offered at my local GameStop for $100 USD. I saw the price tag.

Pretty sure it was the same in $ Prices in most of Europe (if not all) include taxes, so 150€ is exactly what I had to pay. If I’m not mistaken, prices in the US never include taxes, so you’d have to add VAT to those 150$.

150€ is approx. 165$.

I just hope HoT won’t cost more than 50€ … otherwise I’d really have to consider buying it at release ._.

Sadly some stores here in my state have been known to sell things for less then the required amount. Magic cards for example have shown up at local stores for $1.00 a pack. GameStop does not do this as far as I know. I did not pre order the game, so you may be 100% right. I am just saying the price I saw was $100. It was back when I was thinking about joining. Sometime after launch in 2012. September or October 2012. It comes down to the store level. GameStop may have not given proper pricing, or your store may have not. I have no idea.

Again my experience with unequal pricing, but some games cost more in Euros then in Dollars. Steam is a excellent example. Games can cost 60 euros in Sweden, and cost $60 here. Some games cost 60 euros in Sweden, and only $40 here. Sometimes they cost 40 euros in Sweden, and it cost $60 here.

Feothyr.6072:

pandorasbox.6340:

The base game was $60 at launch, the special editions $80 to $100. Normally in a standard printing model an expansion is $40 with a special at $60. Based off what is being sold now, it sound more like $20 and $40.

The collector’s edition was 150€.

I’ll probably end up buying the expansion pack no matter what, so I don’t really care how much it’s going to cost. That being said, I do hope it’s not more than 50€. We’re talking about an expansion after all – not a stand-alone campaign like back in Guild Wars 1.

I am not good at math sadly, so I do not know the USD to EURO equation. As far as I know, the limited boxed edition was offered at my local GameStop for $100 USD. I saw the price tag.

I find cannot imagine the revenant going through the base campaine at queensdale. There is no class like it. No destiny’s edge member has it at the start. It just feels wrong as of right now, and full of holes. As someone mentioned above, full of Time Paradoxes, that would have the potential to rip a hole in the space time continuum, resulting in the unthinkable and cataclysmic results. I suppose Ritlock and his future self could just faint. Wake up hours later, thinking it was a bad dream.

I believe Logan is a guardian, Caithe is a theif, Eir is a ranger, Zoja is a elementalist, Ritlock is a warrior. Now you want to go back in time when Ritlock was a warrior, and tell him his future? Ummm. No. Just no. OMG. No no no no no no, and no.

I would imagine that it would need a special area, or a start off a higher level then 1, with it’s own thing like Ritlock being your mentor as a Revanant or something.

The base game was $60 at launch, the special editions $80 to $100. Normally in a standard printing model an expansion is $40 with a special at $60. Based off what is being sold now, it sound more like $20 and $40.

Thanks for the swift reply. What about the Personal Story? Are we going to stick with the Living world story before and after release, ore is the expansion going to provide us with something?

Any guess if we are headed tword the coast or further north?

So just 1 new place to go? The heart of Meguma? I am not criticizing here. The Heart of Meguma could be a region with multiple maps. I am stating a fact here that Rift when it adds a new region it has been known to add areas larger then the base.

My hopes is that the Heart of Meguma would include the Fire Island Chain as well as the tarnished coast if we indeed head south. My feeling tho is with a name like Heart of Meguma, we may indeed go north, northwest instead.

Are we going to get some new personal story when we get access to the expansion to tie us over to season 3, if season 3 is not already upon us by then?

Anyone have 2 cents to throw in? Am I totally insane to be expecting multiple maps? Are we going south, or north/northwest? Is expecting more personal story too much as well?

From what I understand from PAX, specialization will supply new heal skills, utility skills, elite skills, and traits. Normally when they release skills with keywords like stance, clone, cantrips, they have 4 utility skills with those keywords, sometimes a healing skill. 2 elite skills unlocked with expansion perhaps? They also may add the skills to like tier 4 utility, or tier 2 and 3 elite. Perhaps a new limit cap on trait points as well? My personal preference would be at least 6 utility skills, two healing skills, and two elite.

I suspect for an elementalist, another ranged weapon would be good. Currently we only have the staff with the longest range. Less power in the base damage, but a longer range. Shorter range weapons have more base damage power.

Anywho, ignoring the weapon types we get from conjured weapons, I think a rifle or pistol would be good. I could see the bullets have elements attached to make fire bullets, ice bullets, rock shot, electric bolts.

An addional Fire ability I could see would be a lava shot. Lava shooting out of the rifle/pistol, an attack to cause the earth to open up in a tremor tword the enemy spewing forth lava.

Ice, we could have a shield of ice to block attacks, an attack to freeze solid an enemy, using ice shards for the base attack, another could cause a shockwave of ice to shoot out tword the enemy. Why not a rapid fire water shot that heals with each hit in a line, and will damage foes behind the ally as well?

How about using small balls of electricity bullets? Just like most air attacks designed have a low recharge. Maybe shoot a giant ball lighting? A blow back attack for close range? Even shoot a lightning bolt from your gun. Heck why not 4 bolts in a chain while we are at it?

For earth I could see rock shards being used. Using sand to blind, cause the earth to come up, revolve around you, blocking attacks. Then you could press the skill button again to make it blow, sending earth flying for damage. Good for blocking malee attacks, and hitting small mobs.

In terms of utility skills? I have no clue. Guild Wars has an armor for every element. We only have armor of earth. We could use an armor of wind, fire, and ice. Maybe something like addional summoning. Summon a stationary hand to come up made of fire, earth, lightning, and ice. You can use the hand as a place to go hide behind, come out to shoot, and hide again. The hand may give you buffs if allies are in range, and will swat at close foes. Just spitballing here.

I want to remind everyone that there is less then 5 days left! Happy holidays!

Thanks for listening!

I am aware that the former level 60 arc, the new level 70 arc has been changed. Forging the pact has seemed to as well. My friend and I just finished it. My friend opinion is that these changes make the mission too difficult considering we both died 3 times during the mission.

Along the way, we spotted regular veteran krait with a permanent 10 might and fury. I tried ripping boons from the two of them, and it did not get removed. Also the zombies are way harder then I remember. I used to solo it without dying much. 2 of those times we died were from those krait mentioned above. Also I seem to notice the abominations are shorter for some reason. Has anyone else noticed it? Did arena net change this while working on the changes to the rest of the 70 story arc?

I have no idea if this has been discussed. I know I posted about it on my blog before as an idea. This idea pertains to a possible expansion add. If arena net decides to do an expansion. Instead of adding rifles to rangers, or new weapons to existing classes, how about customized weapon skills? Like the utility skills, perhaps give the ability to have an alternative weapon skill for slots 1-5. Don’t like the dagger ability on this guy? Swap it out like a utility skill for another ability.

Yeah I want to see a new class eventually, a new race perhaps, and more weapons choices for existing classes. I just wanted to see what anyone thought about this direction instead.

Repost from October 31st and we do have another contest within this contest going on right now. Check the blog for details and a link for our Twitter page.

The Warp Zone: Happy Halloween! The Winter Contest begins! As said before, instead of allowing for requests of games for me to rate like last year, because it’s our third year, and as a thank you for reading the blog, following it, ignoring it, or whatever you did before you heard about our contest. You do not need to like, subscribe, or follow this blog in any way to win.
Da Rules: The rules are to send me a private message here on tumblr with your greatest gaming moment. It can be from any system, any game. Just name the game, the system it is for, and explain in detail what happened. The juicier the story the better.
I am going to share one now: I was playing Rift back in 1.7 when they added Marriage, and I saw in the defiant city one night, two women characters, dressed down to having no armor, dance in front of another player sitting there. One girl was Kalari, one was Eth.
It does not need to be a story like that. It could be what happened to your party when fighting the toughest boss in the game, a blooper story, a funny glitch that made you laugh.
One more rule: To shift everyone to a prize they would enjoy, you may list your first choice, and second choice for a prize. You don’t have to. It just sorts you into something you may enjoy, and if you don’t win, shifts you into another.
Now the recap of the prizes, and the reveal of those mystery prizes mentioned during the announcement of the contest.
The prizes are all USA keys, and they are:
A Guild Wars Legacy Pack: Guild Wars 1 Platinum, and Guild Wars 2. Everything you need to get everything out of the 2 games. The bonus prize is : Knights and Merchants Steam Key, and Mount and Blade: Fire and Sword steam key.
A Steam Key 3 pack: Injustice Gods Among Us: Ultimate Edition Steam Key, and Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition Steam Key. The bonus game is: Electronic Super Joy Groove City Steam Key.
The Final Prize is: a Tera Online ( or Tera Rising ) Founder Key strait from the game box. This prize pack is the only in which the bonus prize is something related to the main prize. The Bonus Prize is: A Collector’s Edition Upgrade. I bought the collector’s edition of Tera at Lunch so I can confirm the following items in game: Velik’s Bloodstone Necklace, Shakan’s Bloodstone Necklace, Founder Tempest mount, Founder Title, Unlock 7 characters slots as a new player, and the Coveted Regal Frostlion Mount. You don’t see them often. It is a white fur version similar to the Jeweled Lion available in the ingame shop. According to Amazon.com where I bought it, it also unlocks a White Stallion mount as well. I cannot confirm this as I bought my game directly from enmasse digitally. According to what Atari website said at the time, the version from them does include another mount. If it was a digital version that included it, or the physical like this one, I have no idea.
The gates are open, and remain open till December 15th. December 24th you will receive your prize as a private reply to your entry. The winners will be announced here publicly with the prizes they won. Good Luck!
Edit: Rule addition: You must give your email, or steam account name if you wish on Twitter or Tumblr, or message us on Twitter, or on Tumblr. No contact info? No prize.
