Guild Wars 2

This is a ton for the skins? I finally got to 25 and was expecting to be able to get me a skin…nope…need 50 of them

I think this is way too many.

Can you please put a clock back in the SAB so I know what time of day it is. Thanks

Well I’m just saying, it almost seems like it’s just a mini that was destined to be an Account Birthday Present. For when your account turns one, you’d get one of each item. Also the Queen just seems to simply be a mini because of the current Living Story…I guess people who get theirs in a few months, won’t care at all about the Queen. Which also makes it seem like it’s a mini that should have been rewarded with the Living Story.

The XP scrolls are nice, it boosted my 3 alts i hadn’t had time to really play or level. So now they are 20, which is nice. But now I still have 4 more without any use, and then 2 more on their way. I guess if they ever add a new profession/race, I’ll have a use for 1 more, but chances are with a new race/profession would come a new low level area that I’d actually want to play and not skip because I would want to experience the area and learn the new profession.

I just think the birthday presents need to be rethunk

I am wondering what the logic behind giving people multiple versions of the same mini for their birthdays. Now I have six, and in a few months I’ll have 2 more.

Imagine if you were a kid, you have a birthday party, you invite 15 friends, and each of them brings you the same toy. Make any sense?

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Odd, only one of the three say ‘Soulbound to another character’.

he is just hovering over the greatsaw, since it’s a weapon the other two are the items he currently has equipped.

this really really sucks for the OP. nothing you can do, you just lost that skin Even if you make a new character with the same name I think it’ll still be soulbound to the original character.

this is further proof this game needs to remove Soulbinding and just make things Accountbound so people who play multiple characters can stop being punished.

This achievement has been bugged since day one and they never fixed it. Unfortunately the only thing you can do is go to extra balloon towers. There are 2 in each of the maps except 2 high level zones. I had to do more than required to get my achievement.

If you miss the 10 minute mark, and you want to do something else, there is plenty of time.

For example, if you miss it, instead of doing something for 1 hr, do something for 2 hrs, or 3 or 4. The event happens every hour.

Can you perhaps add a function on the map that maybe in the top right corner you can type in an area and when you search for it it moves the map to that spot?

For example type “Rata Sum” int he search, and when you press enter the map pans and zooms to that area. This can be done with any of the locations, even down to POI’s and Waypoints.

Sometimes I just forget where areas are.

Just get rid of Souldbound all together. Why do things have to be Souldbound? I don’t understand what purpose Soulbinding serves. If you get an item on your account, what’s the difference if another character on your account could use that item. It’s your account, you still earned that item.

Or perhaps make things Accountbound and add Soulbinding like it was in Guild Wars 1 where it would increase the stats if you decided to Soulbind an item.

Everyone loves to get items and loot…but seriously this is not fun to play. Sure you can get lots of items. But is that what Guild Wars has really turned into?

There are too many people at these events and there is zero challenge. Sure the events may fail, but that’s only typically because too many people are dying because I’m sure 95% of them can’t see a thing going on.

The event is, run to this spot, spam a skill that hits as many targets as possible, loot, repeat. There is no challenge in these events.

The content is coming too fast and when it does come it’s basically…lets dump a bunch of enemies in one place and let large groups annihilate everything.

I’ve noticed at this event, less and less people are stopping to revive people, people just don’t want to risk being downed and missing on the drops. It’s creating an unfriendly atmosphere within the game and I don’t like where it’s going.

I know one doesn’t have to do it if they don’t like it. But I play the game, I enjoy the game. I want the content to be good, and like I said it’s great that you get a bunch of loot, but that shouldn’t be what this game is about.

You guys are doing your best for sure. It’s been a wide variety of content for sure. I’m just letting you know I think this kind of content…like the Pavilion is the wrong way to go basically because it’s destroying the game. That’s just my opinion, people are free to play the way they want.

How about if the scroll worked like this…

When Used on Character lower then 20: Auto boost to level 20

When Used on a Character above 20: Player gains 20 Skill Points

I know that. I’ve had this in brand new areas I never even explored except to goto the balloons. Explain that?

It also happened to me on first day in Queensdale…still to this day I cannot get those chests. Instead I am running to new areas just to get balloons because the towers are busted.

It’s totally bugged.

it is bugged. i had this happen in brand new areas i know i’ve never been. it’s 100% bugged.

I’m in the same boat. I don’t know why they won’t fix this. They need to do a one time reset of the chests.

This is so horribly bugged. I am stuck at 21/30 because I’ve gone to about 10 of them and as soon as I get to the top the chest is open. So now I have ones that were ruined and cannot be gotten.

Do something about this…it’s been like this since day 1.

There really isn’t I’ve done about 20 or so towers and was only able to get about 5. The rest were bugged. I think if you don’t go all the way up to the top and open the chests from the last flight of stairs I think you are fine.

Achievement should have been based on reaching the top and not opening a chest.

Maybe issue is that it’s too close to the Divinitys Reach interaction and for some reason that is causing it to auto trigger?

Just about every time I get to the top of the ballon spots the chests are always open? How am I supposed to get the achievement?

So what do you get at settings and fps on a 2013 11" macbook air in bootcamp with the i7 and 8gb ram?

about 95% of my time is spent in PVE, just really exploring.

I guess, liking grinding is relative. I’d rather grind content over a few weeks if I choose than grind the same content over several months. True that I’d rather not have to grind anything, but to an extent it gives you something to work towards.

There will be permanent content eventually…the game isn’t even a year old. I like this approach because they can push new content and continually make improvements to the base game before dropping a bunch of new perm-content.

I like the idea of timed based content, i’m fine with this.

I like the idea that there is content to grind if you want, but it’s not something I’m going to be grinding for the next several months.

I’m wondering how the game runs under bootcamp on a 2013 Macbook Air 13" with the i7 upgrade and 8gb ram?

If you could post settings and FPS, if you know.

I have a desktop PC for serious gaming. need something portable. I’m wondering if this would be sufficient or just spend the extra cash and go with the 14" Razer Blade.

Jasher.6580:

Or they could make it gems convert something soulbound to account bound.

Yes. That would be awesome. Or wish they’d go back to GW1 mode and just add x% damage if you decide you want to soulbind a weapon.

I don’t know why Soulbinding exsists…I’m fine with Accountbound items.

It seems since the Cutthroat Politics update, the wooden chests stopped giving kite fortunes and scraps and now just give support tokens makes scraps even harder to come by.

the reason you are getting Karka’d is after you kill the person you are scavaging all their items right away which is giving them the emotes…

…STOP DOING THAT…it’s your fault.

There should be an achievement with a title that you can get for depositing “Deposit ‘x’ amount of tokens in support for ‘y’ candidate”

That way you can show off who you support better than floating icons in a more permanent way if you choose.

Or even a simple “I Voted” achievement.

I guess they just need to make these achievements less grindy.

But the real problem is it’s so easy and FAST to get the crystals back. You just need to line up your travel skill with either wind/fire, and you are unstoppable and it travels you a long distance.

The problem there is maybe when you are carrying a crystal, the travel skills should not transport you as far or as fast. Or maybe even using the skill uses both of the endurance levels so you can only use it once.

So the skins in the Cliffs are nice, I like that you can get them with Scraps. How about if you add the ability to trade the other way.

For example, if I get a Desert Rose skin as a drop, how about if you could take that skin to the same merchant and trade the skin for scraps so you can get something that you actually want if you are lucky enough to get a drop.

I have 3 desert rose skins, i bought one with my scraps, then got 2 as drops literally in the next 4 or 5 games of survivor i played. seems like i wasted my scraps

I miss the MM of GW1, would like to see a skill similar to “Heal Area” as a healing skill so you can heal up your minions and yourself.

So is the winner of the voting going to be based on Popular Vote?

Would be interesting if they went with perhaps something similar to the Electoral College. Assigning values to different servers perhaps based on the servers population?

Can we get it to where the item skins from events and what not be available anytime we want? Just like the HOM rewards; that is how these skins should work. They should be able to be retrieved.

This would be for event skins and the skins you buy from the gemstore. And above all they should always be account bound, not soulbound.

I’m talking about the skins, not actual items with stats.

Any plans to ever scale these events somehow? I would like to do some of them when they pop up, but people tend to not be around and they can’t be done solo.

(p.s. i’m sure they can be done solo by really great players, but for a majority they can’t)

Just wanted to let you know that if you keep using the little Zephyr Sanctum model you can bring out like 10 instances of it.

Probably not intended

yup. well if they were the only 1 left, they’d get the achievement, you’d hope…lol

i just think there must be a way for ANet to work the pairing a little bit. being in a race where everyone struggles just as much as I do would be more fun to play in.

In the future if there is anything like the Sanctum Sprint, how about grouping people by those who don’t have specific achievements? It would make it more fun and competitive when you have a bunch of people racing who actually want to win.

Don’t know how it would work, but somehow check to see if the person has the 1st place achievement, then group them into a race.

Seems about 75% of the time if I press Alt+Tab to switch out of Guild Wars 2 the game crashes when I Alt+Tab back to the game. Just when getting into the game just get a black screen with just the cursor, which changes if I hover over something, but just a black screen.

I typically press Control Alt Delete and when I do that I usually get the submit issue to ArenaNet message, which I submit every time.

Marquiz.7625:

This is like complaining why the random mob you killed playing as a mesmer, dropped you a rifle as reward for your time spent killing it. Yea you can’t use it, so you should complain and make anet change that mobs only drop items you can use.

not really…the complain i have is if a random mob i killed playing as a mesmer in Queensdale decided to start dropping PVP gear.

there is a reason you get PVP drops in PVP and PVE drops in PVE. because it make sense.

Yea, I’m complaining, sure.

I’m not losing AP’s, but I am missing out on rewards for my playing time. And that playing time I’ve spent 0 time playing PVP (not counting the few minutes spent in the Holiday PVP things, not sure if that counts). So why am I being rewarded for my playing time in an area of the game I spend no time in.

I agree, that a choice would be nice, PVP Chest or PVE Chest or WvW Chest (Not sure if there is anything specific for WvW as I don’t play that either).

I’m not complaining about getting free stuff. It sucks though that my achievement points are being wasted on stuff I will never use. You can’t get the rewards back, so seems like a complete waste and doesn’t seem like much of a ‘reward’.

Cool…two chests, I get a PVP Chest in both the 500 and 1000 Chest Rewards…I don’t even play PVP. Useless, guess I’ll be deleting this junk

you have to attach the wings to an item which makes it soulbound. mine is soulbound so i can’t move them between characters…how do i use them on another character?

Please stop making awesome stuff like the wings from the Dragonbash achievment Soulbound, make things like this Account bound, so I can move it around. Or at least make an item where you can transmutate the look without making the item soulbound for just the look and not stats.

Maybe if you transmute stats it becomes soulbound, but if you just want look, then make it account bound.

I didn’t realize they’d be souldbound, so now it’s stuck on a character i don’t want them on

When people in your party are doing Heart Missions, when you hover over the heart it shows amount completed…but could it also maybe drop down the list of things they need to do? Can’t remember all of them and would be a nice help to see what they are going for.

Can a search box be added to the World Map, where if you are looking for say… “Isenfall Gullies” in Snowden Drifts, you could just type “Isenfall Gullies” into the search box and it would center the map over that area?

It would only need to work for areas that you have discovered.

Is there a way to preview a weapon where it is drawn? Half/Most of the weapons you can’t really see what they look like.

If there is, please, how do I do it?

If there isn’t, please, add it!

nice, thanks. i’ll have to play with the focus. might actually be pretty useful, since you can cast it ahead of yourself.

there used to be an option for “Useable by me” in the trading post in the betas…for some reason it was removed?

Why does it seem every class has a speed buff skill either by signet, weapon type, etc. except the poor Mesmer? Can we get one? Would help when just trying to explore.

nothing wrong with it, leave it as it was. if everything in the game was easier to complete the challenge of the game would be gone.

the fact is, it was able to be completed. it was incredibly frustrating at first, but after i did it the first time, subsequent tries were much easier.

there were no collision issues. you would sometimes get stuck on a gear, and the gear has protruding parts, that’s what a gear is.

i don’t know what happened, there used to be a check box for “Useable by Me” in the TP. Don’t know why they removed it.

Here are a few…
