The future of the Sylvari and Tengu

The pale tree won’t die. If it did that would be the end of any new players (or alt makers) being able to make a Sylvari character and play the personal story that depicts the pale tree in much of it. Likewise PS stories that relate to the avatar of the tree taking us through Orr will be gone too. The pale tree may be damaged and hurt but in terms of overall story won’t die. Much the same was the ghosts of Ascalon won’t go away – it would be too much work to redo all the quests in the area.

A new pale tree could be found sure, but again, killing the existing one and replacing it with one located elsewhere make it difficult for personal story reasons

180 Gold on no precursor? how about you?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: poziix.7285

poziix.7285

Since I started playing I’ve thrown just under 3000 gold worth of rares and exotics into the forge. I have a grand total of zero precursors from it.

The highest at one time was 2000 gold on exotic staves in hopes of The Legend. I got nothing. I understand I could have bought the legend several times over, but at that stage I thought there is nothing legendary about buying precursors. Since then I bought the legend. The forge does not like me at all when it comes to precursor drops

I don't remember this from the patch notes...

Yes they do for things like boots or gloves or single item sets. The items that say specifically what they are – eg “heavy Braham armor” or whatever, are locked to weight class.

I’ve been playing since the 3 day head start but am very inexperienced at dungeons, fractals and guild missions due to mostly being either in guilds that only cater to North Americans players or to being without a guild.

I’m looking for a guild that runs events or has people in it that are willing to teach, at times that are friendly to me, that is Australian Eastern Time.

Would love to do dungeons, fractals and guild missions – oh to be able to get guild commendations and buy useful things with them!! but never get a chance. LFG is full of “experienced only”

Ideally I’m after a friendly guild that is active and doesn’t mind some short periods of not repping – I’m also in a world boss guild and need to rep that guild when doing Teq or 3 headed wurm.

I’m on Blackgate server, but I understand that you just need to guest to the guild’s host server to get guild commendations.

Thanks for your time

That is correct, and I just realised that my previous post may have sounded a little bit too hostile and because of that you have my apologies.

No problem, I wasn’t offended

I’m from Australia too, and I still manage to get Fractal PUGs at levels 1 – 15. Start the LFG search yourself, and just be patient. You’ll usually get a group within 10 mins.

Keep in mind that the LFG tool only refreshes periodically. It’s sometimes possible for a listing to appear and fill before it updates, meaning you never see the entry.

Hmm good to know, I’ll try that. To be honest I never thought about actually starting a LFG session :/

They are still useful, but kind of annoying to use.

As they are now, people has to remember to carry them around. And some people ends up never using them.

If they had a menu option, like an account-wide small panel you can access from the top tool bar (NEVER something as intrusive and “in your face” as in Chinese version) they would be a bit more useful, as they’ll be readily available from anywhere.

Who wouldn’t be more tempted to use a canister when they are inside a fractal and don’t have to go get them in the bank or do the logout trick to go repair in town?

Oh, and boosters could have a revamp too.

You never know if you’ll need to do something different. Pop a gathering booster, gather for 10 minutes, get called for a dungeon… all the rest of the time wasted. Because of that, using some of the boosters is a gamble.

Boosters should instead add to an account-wide pool that adds up to the effect, instead giving time. So an XP booster would give you a fixed amount of potential bonus XP based on your level, let’s say +200% the total exp required for you to level up, and whenever you gain XP, you have 50% more, and that 50% extra is discounted from the pool. For example, A booster gives you +100.000 bonus XP to an empty pool, when you gain 1000XP, you’ll get +500XP because of the 50% bonus exp effect, and 500XP are discounted from your pool, which is now 999.500XP.
Now it doesn’t matter how long you take to kill the next thing, the XP is still waiting there.

And their effects should be toggleable on demand, so you can disable your XP booster while playing with someone that doesn’t have then if you want to stay around the same level with your partner characters.

You could them just use up all your boosters to fill your pools, and then decide with which characters you want to use the effects by toggling them off when needed (they’ll be on by default).

This could be appied to all boosters except those that behave like the Killstreak Experience Booster. Those would remain timed and one-use like the other consumables, still from the account-wide special consumable panel.

An easy fix for that would be an account wide bag. Buy it from the gem store, for example, 1000 gems for a 10 slot account bag or 2000 gems for a 20 slot account bag. It shows up at the bottom of your bags, it’s a new bag, not taking up the room of an existing one, it would be invisible in terms of selling to a merchant or trading post and would be available on every character you have. Whatever you put in there, is usable by all your characters. This would mean people wouldn’t forget to use boosters etc – they will always be there, regardless of character. Same with salvage equipment and the repair canisters. The issue with items like XP boosters etc – they aren’t so useful when you have a level 80 character, unless you want more skill points via XP., so having them in an account wide bag means they will have a greater chance of being used and subsequently be purchased more often.
Before people say, what’s the point of a mini bank bag? It’s limited to 10 or 20 slots, so all the mass items or not useful at the moment items can go in the bank.
How would you implement it as per lore to have a bag that is available to all characters? The Asura are crafty, they invented portals that allow instant travel from one spot to another. Who’s to say they can’t invent a “portal bag” that the items placed in it are accessible with the right bag?

Anyway, that would make items like canisters (the ultimate point of the post) and other boosters, sharable weapons (when they go account bound), permanent mining tools, salvage equipment, royal/airship passes, merchant/bank express etc all easily accessible at any time by any character without having to race to the bank, the realise you left item x on another character, change character, go to the bank, deposit, change back, withdraw, dance that myself and I assume many others do now.

This is prime time. I don’t play prime time, I play oceanic. It’s very rare to find anything below 40+ during those times. Also I didn’t say it was totally impossible, just “pretty much”. But anyway this isn’t about fractals, it was about canisters

I don’t think these are new. A new account for example, can’t put money in a guild bank or transfer gold (over a certain value) to another player via mail until, I think, the account is 30 days old. That has always been there, so I would assume these other restrictions have been there too.

I did a search, couldn’t find anything on it. If it exists already please excuse this post and point me in the right direction.

With repair costs becoming free, what will happen to repair canisters? Will they still exist? They still drop from the Black Lion Chests. Will they still be a gem store purchase?

I guess in a dungeon where you can’t way point back to the repair station they can be useful, but what about generally? I have dozens of them, will they still be there post 15th?

No you will only get skins of the items you have unlocked. So if you have twilight you can get its appearance on any other GS. Crafting another legendary would require a new precursor.

I don’t believe after a skin is transmuted, it can still function normally the Mystic Forge.

That makes so much more sense to me, thanks guys. Get weapon = unlock the skin/look. If you want the look of a weapon put the skin on some other weapon of the same type. If you want the actual weapon, craft it / buy it again.

So I’m thinking, unlock legendary – get skin – craft ascended weapon of same weapon type – re-skin ascended weapon to look like legendary weapon. Now I have one actual legendary and one ascended that looks like a legendary without destroying the actual legendary to get that look.

That’s. Pretty awesome!

Does this mean that precursors that are used will always be available? From that does that mean that you never have to buy another precursor again if you wanted to make a new legendary? From that (lots of "from that’s) will legendary weapons be one time use only or will they be available to all your characters at the same time? So build once, use on any character? By one time use only I mean will legendary weapons still be soul-bound or one equipment at a time only?

If a legendary can be used on any character at any time (provided they can use that weapon type), then I guess that answers my initial question on precursors – the market for them will suffer as a result, as you won’t need more than one of a certain type ever. If they are to be treated like every other weapon but legendary’s can be one character use at a time, the precursor market tanks too due to already having that precursor unlocked.

Am I over thinking this?

So we were told one thing then offered the “things have changed” line as an excuse?

Nice. PR is really not working for you at the moment.

Here’s the thing from the perspective of an ordinary player, and of course is purely my opinion, I do not claim to speak on behalf of anyone else. You tell us pretty much nothing. You keep us in the dark and make blanket statements about things that will come in X amount of days/weeks/months. In fact, you make these statements regularly in the form of big announcements. So we wait, and get nothing. I understand fundamentally we don’t work for you therefore we don’t need know the inner workings of your company or the decision processes that go on. We are however your customers. Your customer complaints are dealt with by moderators who give infractions and delete posts that are “unflattering”. If you don’t allow for criticism how will you know what we think? Sure, I get it – the internet is full of people that like to complain. But Arena Net, we have a legitimate complaint here.

You told us this game wouldn’t be about grind, that people don’t want to grind, or in the words of one of your employees “hey I swung a sword”. Guess what the game is? Grind, and a whole lot of “oh hey I swung a sword again, that’s great”. Then we get an “announcement” to look ahead – I believe the same person made this announcement too, that new features like precursor crafting would be in by the end of 2013. Then we were told well no, sorry we didn’t have time. Now we’re told the game has changed and we can’t have certain things any time soon.

What changed? Why didn’t you have time? From our perspective, all we see is small updates every 2 weeks. The last 3 LS updates were tiny – the same map with “events” that rotated every hour. That’s not a lot of programming there -if it was it certainly didn’t seem like it. We had the introduction of a wurm, a marionette and had a background LS component previously, but the last few – one map, two events that rotate every hour. So what is taking up all the time? Along that line – what has changed? The game went from being one where no grind was on offer to being a hugely grindy game. Precursors – buying them off the trading post is NOT legendary. It’s grind. New armor – grind for it. Nothing has changed. You added a few cosmetic changes, new armors, a new looking way of showing your achievements, a wallet, you added a few maps to PvP ………….. why the delay? You give out information on stuff that is meaningless and keep everything else hidden like it’s going to be mind shatteringly awesome when you reveal it. The problem is, we’ve now been conditioned to not believe you. You make grand statements constantly – eg. “no grind”, “this will rock Tyria to its core” (if you think the way Scarlet was dealt with after a year of her was equal to “rocking Tyria to its core” we clearly have different ideas of what that means. If you think the showing of a dragon mouth opening is that rocking to the core … it was a cut scene not an actual dragon), and you never, follow through. Instead you offer platitudes and excuses and add more junk to the gem store in the hope we’ll see past the misdirection by being distracted by the new “shinies”.

You took how many weeks off over Xmas? Yep, you’re allowed a break. Did the whole company have time off at the same time? You have how many teams working on LS content? You have claimed you have more “working behind the scenes” on something else. Is any of this true? Is it a case you are feeding us fluff hoping we won’t notice you consistently fail to follow through on things you claim will happen? The last few months seem like you have given up. Small updates only and nothing that would classify as huge. The same LA map with two different events that rotated every hour. That’s an hour of game play. It took you 3 months to make one map and 2 x one hour game play. Then you say you don’t have time to include things you mentioned last year.

To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. Before people come in and tell me I’m QQing. I’m a customer and player of this game just like everyone else. I’m allowed to express frustration and disappointment. Am I being too harsh? I don’t think so. Am I surprised that something we were told would happen isn’t? Sadly, not anymore. What would surprise me would be if they said “hey we’re going to introduce X” then they actually did it.

You showed a dragon mouth opening and mention it at the bar scene … I’ll believe it when I see it. For now, I’m taking the view that it won’t happen because you wont have time or the game has changed too much.

Posted by: poziix.7285

poziix.7285

By “Evennia” I think you mean Livia, from Guild Wars 1.

As for E. I think it’s Caera trying to fight the influence that turned her into Scarlet. Circumstances have certainly dictated that she can’t interfere. She would have full knowledge of all of Scarlet’s plans, etc.

Caera wanted to stop the dragon from coming forth. Scarlet was under the dragon’s control. There could have been an inner battle for control going on, who knows, maybe Caera had some more control while Scarlet slept, allowing her to write the letters.

As for the question I’m sure that will be asked – “…but how does the letter E relate to Caera”. Why does it have to? Wasn’t the letter signed as “Mr. E” which could be read as Mystery. Instead of focusing on the letter look at the other meaning. Also if it was Caera that was writing the letters and signed it as her own name, how likely are we going to treat it with any seriousness. You get a letter from your arch-nemesis’ alter-ego there is little chance you would take it seriously. Get a letter signed by Mystery/Mr. E (also a deliberate divergence of gender) and you might take a little more notice – especially if events mentioned in the letters prove to be true.

Edited to add: to the voice issue. We read it (or had it read to us) in a male voice but it’s not like voices can’t be disguised at all can it?

Just my thoughts on that

When you see the scorch mark disappear from the screen, wait 3 – 4 (I waited 5 seconds) before crossing that area. As soon as I did that, I got the achievement.

Ho-Ho Tron vs Canach

in Battle for Lion’s Arch - Aftermath

Posted by: poziix.7285

poziix.7285

I’m guessing the original idea was to have Canach be the one to figure out how to defeat the Miasma poison due to his knowledge of toxins. Given the part early on where he says his parole can be purchased, I’m guessing the goal originally was that he says he knows how to neutralise it and his freedom is purchased in exchange for that knowledge and subsequent ability to deal with the poisons.

Then Ho-Ho Tron came along at first as a joke (as has been stated) but got such a great reception, its role was broadened to the point where he is the one to discover the secret of the Miasma, leaving Canach to sit in a birdcage style jail at the Vigil Keep.

If so, what happens to Canach now? Is he to be forgotten/written out? Will the robot take over and become a romantic interest for Taimi’s golem? Am I even close in my thought on that?

I think Canach is a wasted opportunity and could have gone down some interesting roads. It’s a shame he was dumped and forgotten

No one we knew died, the town that got attacked was just rebuilt, there was no consequence for a years worth of story if at the end of it all that great big reset button gets pressed and everything goes back to how it was.

I hope they leave Lion’s Arch ruined and rename it the ruins of lion’s arch instead.

Also as RedStar points out – we know Pale Tree’s aren’t evil since Malyck comes from another Tree. Whilst Malyck is not quite as peaceful as our Sylvari, he is by no means evil.

I didn’t say the pale tree was male, I said Malyck was male. Also you don’t know all pale trees are good. Malyck lost his memory, his tree could be evil, he didn’t know – in fact he didn’t know what a pale tree was, let alone its level of good vs evil.

Malyck lost his memory. He had no idea who he was or where he came from. No clue as to what his purpose in life was. He may be evil for all we know. He could be the other pale tree’s version of the nightmare court or he could be a force of good against a corrupt pale tree from where he is from.

The Sylvari personal story says we will go help him one day. Perhaps we will meet him again to fight by his side or against him as he regains his memories.

Either way, Malyck and the tree from which he came are unknown entities at the moment. All we do know is he has an inherent desire for good, given his reaction to the knightmare court and the prospects faced by the wardens that found him. Whether he ignores that good or embraces it, is yet to be seen.

Moving server - account question

Posted by: poziix.7285

poziix.7285

I think I remember reading somewhere that if you move servers nothing goes with you. Is this correct?

Specifically, if I was to move my account via the 1800 gems option, do all the items in my bank go with me? What about a guild bank? If I am the only person in the guild will those items/influence etc go too or do I lose all that?

From that then, if I am on server A and my guild is on server B, will I see all the items in the guild bank still?

Basically the question is – is there any way at all that a guild bank can move servers with you?

The whole “this will change Tyria for ever” thing has been done before. Before Scarlet was introduced there was a lot of hype from Arena Net about who the world will be changed and nothing will be the same? The problem with that was, that nothing changed and everything stayed the same. Every 2 weeks they pressed the reset button and the big, huge, amazing game changing thing? Turned out to be Scarlet. A character that had a lot of potential but was poorly implemented and executed.

So when they say that the last four Scarlet stories will result in something to rock Tyria to its core …… I’ll believe it when I see it. Everything to date doesn’t equal an expansion. Everything to date has been temporary. An expansion stays

The perfection of the Sylvari will end

Posted by: poziix.7285

poziix.7285

It’s a nice theory and one that has been mentioned a few times. The difficulty with it that I see is how will you explain away player characters that are Sylvari? If they all have their “Order 66” moment and are suddenly switched from good to bad, what happens to all the player characters? Do they forcibly become bad? Do the players get a choice in what happens to their character? If they remain on the good side, why? Why are player characters immune to the command to turn?

Further, we know that dragons feed on magic. They absorb it to gain their strength to the point of where they have most of it while the world has little magic left in it. This then sends the dragons to sleep, which slowly releases magic back into the world. Given this then, why would a dragon make a race of people (Sylvari) that will have to use magic. If the dragon wants to absorb magic, why make something that you have to give magic to?

I remember very early on, when the Sylvari were first mentioned, there was talk – and I’m unsure if it was from Arena Net or fan driven, but there was talk of the Sylvari being unknown. Their motivations were unknown. Were they good or were they evil? I wonder if the speculation that the plant dragon having Sylvari as its minions is driven from this early speculation?

Lastly, the Sylvari get a ton of “air time” because Angel McCoy (sorry if that’s not the right spelling) has said she adores the Sylvari and she is the one to do most of the writing.

Going to add my support here for an Oceanic server. Please! I have a pretty high end gaming PC but in order to play GW2 I now have to set all my settings to “maximize performance” just to get semi-decent load times, response times, and game play ability. When I do that, my FPS goes to 80 – 90 which is a massive improvement on the 10 – 20 I normally get. We have some amazing data centres here in Australia. I’m sure Singapore and Malaysia also have some fantastic ones too. Just saying

The other issue I notice since the last patch is the skill death. What I mean by that is, my skills just stop working. The only way to fix that seems to be to log out and back in or zone out and zone back in.

The tower

in The Nightmare Within

Posted by: poziix.7285

poziix.7285

I was thinking about the tower and the climb to poison it.

What happened to the giant airship equipped with the mega laser that brought down Z? Instead of sending people running up a toxin filled tower, why wasn’t the airship flown in over the top of it then fire its laser right down the middle of it?

Okay sure, I suppose there is a chance that the toxic tower might cause spores to form, but they do that already, but this would ensure the spores are smaller, more easily manageable and the vast majority of bad guys currently in the tower are gone too. The anti-toxin could be put into gun form and off you go spraying the smaller off shoots.

Having said that, why not convert the mega laser to fire a hole down the middle of the tower shaft then pour the toxin right inside it. The tower would have the toxin all in there in one go.

Yep I get that it would remove the game play aspect, but logically speaking, when you have air ships and lasers, sending a bunch of people in, without any safeguards (the air filters don’t stop hallucinations from coming – shouldn’t they disappear when you are breathing clean air?) in place is not the most logical of things to do.

Just my thoughts on the tower lately.

When will we kill Scarlet?

in The Nightmare Within

Posted by: poziix.7285

poziix.7285

Scarlet can be killed – to go to the mists or somewhere else, only to return once a year to release havoc in some form. Doing this resolves two issues. The first is we get to “kill” her off as an on-going villain. It also allows the devs to resurrect her at will, to have her minions/supporters/followers/toxic induced fans to work at bringing her back. in some way.

It wouldn’t the first time something like this has happened, four immediately come to mind, the first being Mad King Thorn. He is technically dead, yet comes back once a year. The second is his son, a new addition to the game, also technically dead but now able to come back once in a while. The third is a carry over from GW1 days (I realise the Mad King is a carry over too), that being Palawa Joko, who technically died but came back. The next is Shiro Tagachi, who again, actually died, but makes a comeback.

So, Scarlet might die, or be killed, but she may not stay dead for long.

Did the end cut scene imply she was moving on (pun intended) now? No more Scarlet, at least for a while. You know. Until she sees us first, or whatever it is she says

Probably an unusual / odd question. Where do you get the toxic seed boxes from?

I know it's a stretch, but Abaddon?

Looks like a merging of Krait and Sylvari into a .. ummm thing?

Arena Net ALWAYS excludes the Southern Hemisphere. Every single contest, give away, exhibition or convention is completely ignored by this company. Case in point, the “world tour” they did a while back. It’s not a world tour when you only stick to the Northern Hemisphere!

I understand we’re a long way from America/Korea (Arena Net is a Korean owned company after all), but it would be nice, just once to have acknowledgement that we, not only play your game, but we buy your products. Instead, we sit and watch as pretty much every country in the Northern Hemisphere are acknowledged and considered important.

We’re like Skrit to Arena Net. We’re there, but more of an annoyance than anything to actually worry about.

Speaking from Australia – we allow contests, we have some pretty good ones. Just none from Areana Net. Ever.

Thanks
Celestial gear huh? I should look at that too I guess. So is Zerker gear still the only real option?

Thanks all for the information.
By missing out on the crystal node then will that be a detriment ?

I’ve been reading up on things and I’m confused about something.

I have been able to play sporadically over the last 3 or so months but only for 5 minutes at a time. So now I can play again properly …. what’s a home instance?

I see there should be some crystals there. Where do I find my home instance and what are the crystals used for?

"Finish Them!" in PVE -- no, please?

Does the pop up banner thing saying “Press K to finish them” with an arrow thing ever go away? Every time I played it last night and the humnesque character was down, that banner would pop up. Every single time. No matter how many times I clicked the x, the pop up returned. Is there a way to make it go away?

Please pay more attention when adding content

It is griefing when they do it to prevent others from getting the achievement as I already stated. There should not have to be any workaround. As I said if they are going to have these requirements they can do it for an instanced area and it won’t allow anyone’s progress to be blocked.

As someone who rarely gets to play the game these days, I had no idea there is an achievement on top of an achievement. So when I played last night for example, I got on, found some champs and began the process of killing them. I didn’t know I should have waited for something else to happen so other people can get some bonus points.

I play this game for me, not for other players. Had I known there was more to do I might have waited, as it was I didn’t have time to stick around and wanted to see what the champion bag was (yes it’s that rare I get to play these days, that I hadn’t seen a champion bag before). So if I have to go on and wait, so you or anyone else can get some bonus points … I’m sure there are plenty of opportunities for you to get those points throughout the game. As I said, I’m not playing the game to help you get points.

Soooooo.....no Halloween this year?

Why are people going on about this now? It’s still september…

Have you not been to the malls? You’re supposed to start thinking about Halloween in June. Really we should be concerned with Wintersday this late in the year.

As for content, the LS team doesn’t have to do anything for Halloween, they just need to release the content from last year.

As an Australian, we don’t do the Halloween thing here, so the malls here have zero on Halloween. Also being in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s coming into summer not winter, so the winter’s day thing is backwards to me. But whatever, this game only caters to Northern Hemisphere countries. Look at the mini pet give-away for example, shows and events in Northern Hemisphere got them, those of us at the bottom of the world get ignored.

Will Faolain appear alongside Scarlet?

in Twilight Assault

Posted by: poziix.7285

The Nightmare court would follow Scarlett easily. Faolain might try to defend her leadership, but ultimately the NC would pick the stronger leader to follow. If Scarlett won, having the Aetherblades, Molten Alliance, Steam Creatures and then the Nightmare Court behind her would make her a force that would potentially rival the dragons.

How would that make her rival the dragons? The dragons want to kill as many people as they can so they get all the magic of the land, before going back to sleep. Scarlett wants to kill as many people as she can so she can get to rule the world.

What would that mean for the game? Well, they can focus on the axis of evil and her huge army for a long time instead of having to bother with any new dragons.

The game isn’t a game about dragons anymore. It’s about the villain of the day, who happens to be a 20 – 25 year old tree creature. The thousands of years old dragons are no match!
