Guild Wars 2

I love the mini chocolate. XD Too bad it doesn’t work in WvW.

super mini asura. <3

The White Chocolate should make you much bigger though, it just makes my character normal sized cuz he’s already shortest height. :x

My Venom Share build I’ve ran for ages is greatly weakened to the point that using Shadow Arts isn’t even worth it anymore. (I suggested swapping Leeching Venom with Revealed Training since it makes more sense after this change. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/thief/Swap-Revealed-Training-with-Leeching-Venoms/first#post6257237)
I can no longer stack might on myself and allies, and taking SA for Leeching alone isn’t good enough incentive to waste my time in a tree that uses Stealth when I don’t use Stealth skills. So overall I do less damage, less range, less breakbar damage, longer cooldowns and have less team support and use only Spider Venom and Basilisk now and ignore the others.
Yay for people who only used Basilisk and never spec’d for Venoms.. Boo for people like me who used multiple Venoms. Although solo Basilisk Thieves were nerfed.

Good!

That’s the kind of attention to detail that an MMO really needs. Too bad I’ll never see them because makeover kits cost a kitten-ton of kittens.

Assuming these are new standard hairstyles, the hair-changer kit will set you back about 13 G right now (250 gems). I’d much rather have cosmetic changes for free of course, but that’s roughly a night’s worth of farming. Not all that bad.

I got 2 of them in my bank from Achievement Points that I been saving for if they ever add new hair/face

Cuz cats are naughty and need spankingz. So it’s no wonder their name has become a bad word.

I would love condi on dagger AA for Scourge.

If you have god tier gaming skills it’ll feel too easy. You clearly have the most perfect DNA for video gamez.

I wish. One of the best things about Wildstar is you can hide any piece of armor. I don’t see the big deal with not allowing it. Plus I really really dislike coats and buttcapes on my Sylvari. This would remedy it. I can’t fight with all that heavy loose weight flying all over the place and getting stuck on things. Whys a tree all dressed up in such things anyways? I don’t throw heavy coats over the trees in my back yard and break their branches under it’s weight. :|

So what I’m getting from the counter argument is humanity just isn’t intelligent enough to handle GW1’s in-depth skill system… /sigh. Why couldn’t we of evolved from dolphins or something?

It would be nice to be able to remove the skills useless to my build on Thief and replace it with one that’s actually useful to it.

Update includes fixes.
I can’t wait to see the much needed Pistol Thief buffs.

Need a non-trenchcoat armor buff too though.

Is this a troll post? Surprised someone would actually ask this question seriously.

I’d suggest finding a different way to make gold, otherwise.

Oh wow, Steam sales already started. Think that’s more important. better value.

Wish it just autolooted. Hopefully they pass that pact commander autoloot thingy for WvW as I don’t think it was decided yet.

I’ve had to go on Covert Op missions on my Thief into a hive of enemies just to retrieve 1-2 loot bags more than a few times.

WTB Open All function.

I’m also really really sick of dealing with useless sigils/runes all the time when salvaging stuff more than anything.

Every single player needs to buy Bunny Ears so that Puppy and Cat Ears can be created, plz.

The problem with Thief is it’s a pubstomper that basically kills newbies easily because they don’t understand the profession well enough yet, and/or don’t know how stealth functions in this game compared to other MMOs. So they just get confused. Thief and Mesmers are both good at confusing newbies cuz their mechanics revolve around deception. Some will even stand there idle and oblivious with their heads tilted when you stealth and not even attempt to attack you.

Unfortunately they cry nerf instead of doing a little research, or their research leads them to other newbies crying nerf (there’s a lot of them) and gives the wrong impression.

How did you survive? The bones in my right arm are completely shattered to pieces from opening all these event bags. So much pain and internal bleeding. I had to build a cast out of ductape.

skullmount.1758:

We need less salad based stories (#BurnTheGroveDown), and more Asura/Charr centered stories.

No Asura because they ruined the chance of having Abaddon fractal. I ban them from being center plot.

Charr is possible. They could add a Charr villain who doesn’t stop using the Crystal Desert as a litterbox. Somekinda mad s***bomber.

I got a lot of hot, juicy skins from those. I miss them.

It’s so beautiful I could cry.

I just opened one and got a tome of knowledge and a teleport to friend. That actually progresses my account backwards. :| I’m already drowning in tomes. Not very vet friendly.

I have the same problem she does. .-. those invincible hiccups.

It’s an anxiety thing and as someone with anxiety, I was rather disgusted by them adding this. Because it was treated like nothing more than a joke.

Not really? It’s no different then Tami with her legs, or tybalt with his paw….it makes the characters more real. Not every hero is perfect, some have personal challenges which is what I think anet is trying to portray. I didn’t laugh at the scene, I thought (man points) it was cute. Also had an anxiety disorder.

It was treated like a joke. So awkwardly thrown in and not serious at all. Many of us can not speak when this happens. …How nice you thought it was… ‘cute’… I wonder if my other half thinks it’s cute when I lock up and can’t breathe nor talk… Hmm….

Mine does o.O and it’s not like hiccups are harmful and going to make me suffocate to death. If so I’d be very long overdue for it at least.

Gaile Gray.6029:

I miss my Ritualist. Oh wait, different definition of “outdated.”

I miss my Assassin and his beautiful armor. Thief needs updated to Assassin.

Tried to swap to another character a few mins ago and can’t enter game as any of them anymoarz.

You forget about the condition removal on shadow return. It saves me plenty of times in WvWvW with the huge landslide of conditions that cover me, even more so if I’m retreating and double tap 2 without a target. Signet of Agility doesn’t help at all VS conditions as it only removes 1, which usually isn’t the one hurting you most. S/D doesn’t and shouldn’t have to use Hide in Shadows, as stealth isn’t and shouldn’t be an aspect of this playstyle, aside from CnD to stomp someone w/o instadying.

Keep in mind I’ve used S/D in SPvP a lot and use it in WvW and I don’t use the shadowstep stomp, so you’re going to hurt innocent people who don’t use it without compensating it with anything.

It wouldn’t be as bad if both Infiltrator Strike and Infiltrator Return removed a condition or we were giving condition removal elsewhere, such as Signet of Malice every 10 seconds or on use, or improving steal to reverse pickpocket conditions to enemy for example.

I’ve personally found a lot of fun using S/D with 10/30/0/0/30 in wvw as I love the Steal ability and want to make the most of it. With that I’m completely 100% reliant on Vigor and Shadow Step for avoiding damage. IDK if this playstyle will be possible with the proposed changes.

As for using Stunbreakers, I do have some, but I’m thrown right back into stun after using them against most classes. Against a stunspam Warrior the only thing I could do against them would be running Roll for Initiative to escape stun and then run from battle as fast as possible, because further engaging him will just get me stunlocked again. Shadow Return breaking stun would be the only possible way to stand a chance against them.

Also, just throwing this in there again, but please do something about Last Refuge. I honestly don’t care what you do to it, as long as it stops killing me when I’m using a shadow arts build. I wouldn’t even mind a blank space at shadow arts 5 instead. This trait should not be forced as it is now.

tbh I’ve worried the same thing. I’m not sure how expansive this expansive really is. I’ll feel like it’s too small till proven otherwise.

I still have 10 experience scrolls from last year. =/ I have one of each class, all 80 except 1 and a extra for key farming/muling. I got extra due to some bug~ Wish they were just +1 level scrolls from pvp, then I can level my Mesmer to 80 since he’s my only non 80 due to lack of interest.

Will there be a mini of peter the lost added so I can better keep track of him?

and god forbid you put it on a silly karma or wvw exotic and lose it forever :P

Can you guys please consider this? It takes way too long to finish these things and it would be great if we could just move the armor or weapons to an alt if we feel like changing a build and using a new set instead of letting tons of work rot.
Most people max 2 crafts per character so a lot of times it’s an account-wide amount of work. My Alt goes through the trouble to make my Main an armor set, the least my main could do to pay him back is let’em borrow it every now and then when he’s not using it. :o My Characters should be able to share and care for one-another, not selfishly use eachother.

I just want toggles on everything. u.u /sigh

A DC grace period would be nice. Even if it’s 1 minute.

Tommyknocker.6089:

I have 1 fully decked out character in full ascended armor, weapons and trinkets; and I had to make 3 of the armor pieces. I have been playing the game since launch and I can understand how they want some things to be rare, bur this is just insane. I don’t do many fractals, and spend a goody part of my time in WvW, but still the drop rare everywhere is extremely terrible.

Sounds about right. I’ve exhausted all my energy and a lot of gold crafting an entire medium set for my main and a heavy set for favorite alt (celestial even). I got an Armor box from Lum armor achievement that I gave to my Necro and I play all the time, since launch, and I’ve gotten 2 Armor boxes from Spvp and that is it, and that was long after I finish crafting since I never got any boxes during that to speed it up.

My Necro is still waiting for 3 more boxes that I’ve done tons of content for without ever seeing the next one yet. Farming a full set of armor just isn’t possible and crafting Light set is just too expensive on top of what I’ve already done.

You’d think Dwayna would show pitty and mercy on me and let me finish my last alt after I already put so much work into crafting 2 entire sets but apparently that’s simply the only way to ever get it.

I like the Daily/Monthly AP Cap and would prefer it to stay.

The PvP reward pots alone are good enough incentive, those things are amazing. Like the 50 Free Bloodstone Rubies for a few minutes of effort every day to fill the track is practically overkill. I’ve gotten 150 total so far just from dailies.

Here’s a bunch I took that aren’t too messy with effects.

I love pants and shorts. all dese dresses and skirts on my manly males are silly.

We should all cry into a jar and mail Anet our tears so they can understand how much it hurts.

Guardian; Being too perfect.
Warrior; Being Anet’s sugarbaby.
Mesmer; Too faceroll.
Thief; Too much of a scapegoat. Lack of weapon skills. Lack of Assassin Armor. Broken traits~ like Shadow Protector, needs more access to swiftness/speed (which supposedly getting soon?) no 1200 range.
Ranger; Super ultra boring utility skills. Spirits suck. Traps being condition build only (personal sadness). No Karka pets.
Engineer; Feeds enemy team kills too often.
Elementalist; Requires 20 people to kill bunker. Non dagger builds are incredibly boring. Water needs a more viable set for damage/cc and better effects.
Necromancer; Minion Master sucks, AI sucks, no Shambling Horrors from GW1, Blood Fiend Minion needs condition removal on active. Lack of Elite Scar armor.
Ritualist; lack of presence.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Farzo.8410:

Nope. You’re overreacting.

Just as a thought question, what if it wasn’t a fish. What if it was say….. a mini pet of a dog with a lying on its side gasping animation and flopping after you when you run. Would a change in species make that ok? Is it ok if it’s only a fish?

The Mini Pet Dogs, cats, etc and ranger pets don’t have rebreathers underwater but they don’t drown. Hows the fish in the reverse situation any difference? These critters live in a magical world and don’t play by the rules we do IRL.

IDK why Anet puts so many location restrictions on harmless items like these so often. If it doesn’t give you an advantage in combat, stats and so on and are purely visual, I don’t see why they’re not usable everywhere.

Viking Jorun.5413:

Honestly? Stealth is a crutch, plain and simple. Learn to play without it, and that’s where the real skill takes places.

They’re nerfing builds that don’t use it too though. :x Because people think dodging is OP too. How do we play then when everything is apparently OP?

I miss yellow snowballs.

Soulmyr.8094:

He looks quite feminine (especially the face) which is not necessarily a bad thing since that’s probably what you were going for. He is very unique indeed.

I originally intended to create a Sylvari where the gender wasn’t as easily identifiable. I get a lot of players asking me if it’s a male or female lol.

Very colorful, but he/she seems angry looking.. Is it a male or female? o.O I made my Asura to be like that. XD my Sylvari’s all manlytreeboy tho~ enough to needs /flex emote.

Probably male cuz I don’t know if that face exists for females~ not many males use it though still so not sure. XD

LOL I get that same question every time I play this character, most people don’t know if he’s male or female and it’s either enlightening or frightening. xD

Do you have any caps of your sylvari?

There’s quite a few around the forums~ Mines actually the opposite of colorful since he’s winter theme. :o

I’ll throw in a pic of my Asura too. XD

TPMN.1483:

It resizes based upon your character model.

A size 18 model looks differently wearing the same dress compared to a size 0 model.

Mainly you need to be human and it will scale strangely on everything else.

But Dolyak is the king of rewards.

The warglaives look bleh.

Zenos Osgorma.2936:

So A dagger skin like this maybe.

Bladed Tonfas? Would be useful on my Riou Genkaku cosplay character, except he’s a Warrior.

I really just want Land Spears since they’re already in game.

FYI, OP, if you haven’t attempted the suggested adjustments found in the post https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/PC-FPS-and-Performance-based-issues/first#post338300, I would suggest trying those. These personally helped me maintain a consistently higher FPS with much less frame drops in higher intensity areas, it’s possible it might help you out too.

Furthermore, it’s probably the first thing any official support person would point you towards, so at least try them before knocking on them.

Thanks for helping but I already tried all of that. If a 960 does not make me happy in this game then I will simple not play it. I want all of you to have higher standards… and I want the game to be optimized… this is the only reasons for my thread. Now I will go enjoy a lagg-free enviornment with my other 150 steam games. goodbye

You shouldn’t be lagging even at that FPS or even at 30 FPS. If you’re lagging then something other than your computer hardware and GW2 is the problem.

Diversity is confusing to new players therefore it needs to be removed…

Yeah they are confused and use bad useless traits and builds. Diversity for the sake of diversity isn’t good for any game.

you cant get real diversity with out having options some people dont like. lowering the amount of options does not intrinsicly increase the quality of options.

people are mistakenly linking having less options to having better options. There is no coorelation between number of options, and how good your options are.

It’s not a mistake. Less options available can be more easily balanced, so less options can also be better options.

wait what?
since when taking away options from players is better?

Taking away options nobody ever used is actually making the game better. Also, you are seeing it as them removing options, I see it as them adding more options and removing others. Having 3 trait lines at maximum can easily make new builds and options available.

Apparently much of those “removed options” are actually just being moved to the skill too~ which is one thing that interest me the most as hopefully venoms wont suck anymore without traits because they attach the traits to the skill. All this panic could be for nothing~ this is why they shouldn’t drag out info so much. :P

I vehemently defend the actions of the players in the video.
What’s vehemently mean? He was trying to behave and even told others to.

If I’m going to have hearts reset, I’d want it to be reset through Hard Mode or something. :o

There are a lot of neat weapons but at this point, with there being so many sets, I feel like the design effort is wasted more than anything. There’s tons of armor diversity people literally beg Anet for (coatless chest pieces that end at the waist, pants without buttcapes, etc) but they still stick to only making weapons because it’s easier. But effort spent on 1 armor set unique from the previous kinds instead of 4-5 new weapon sets a month would be more entertaining. People with Legendary weapons have even less use for BL weapons since not using something you sunk all that effort into wouldn’t be very exciting. Armor would be more useful. As a Thief (with Legendary weapons) I don’t really have many weapons usable by my profession to begin with anyways so most of the time when I get a ticket I just buy something to sell later.
