Guild Wars 2

Woulv.4392:

I know mounts wont come out any time soon, but I want to make a list of mounts that us players would love! Here are my suggestions, hope they can be realised :P
nb: the “flying” mounts don’t actualy fly, just like the flying broom doesn’t fly

flying carpet(different colors) NO (this is not aladdin or alibaba)
cloud (white and stormy) NO (this is not DBZ)
whatchwork moa NO
giant cat NO (seriously)
go-cart NO
(most of the ranger pets) SOME YES SOME NO
electic wheelchair NO (WTF)
rolerskates NO
skateboard NO
hoverboard NO (this is not back to the future nor wildstar !!!)

EDIT

The day they start heavily breaking the lore with crap like that it’s the day I stop playing

I know gw2 is a casual game and all but arena.net should remember that they did foster a massive hard core community in gw1, why forsake them now.

I’m not hardcore myself and even I’m finding the need for harder content.
with that said here are my top priority suggestions.

1 – Hard mode pve unlock after 100% word completion.
2 – hard mode dungeon unlock after you have done all explore paths in a dungeon.
3 – alliance chat needed badly, 3 full guilds and have to invent ways to communicate.
4 – you have been outbid messages from the trading post.
5 – more armor variety is sorely needed at this point (it’s been a year already)
6 – the cash shop needs more vanity goods people actually would like to buy and support the game, I myself don’t see anything at this point that makes me think omg I want that costume, like it did in gw1.’’

Farzo.8410:

If you have no dedication, if you aren’t willing to go through it, if you can’t handle it, you are not worthy of the achievement.

you miss the point SIR !

JP’s are an optional thing !!!
they should not tie in something like a new resource node to that kitten kind of content !
not everybody wants to play mario wars 2 !

and to make things worse !

you cannot get 16/16 without them stinking JP’s !!!!!

that is the point lol

There;s already a title for them stinking puzzles !
keep it at that !

so the rest of us can still enjoy proper content !

VOLKON.1290:

(Q:) Will we ever see anything like raiding?
(A:) Our answer to raiding may very well be in the works!

This is what I’ve always said !

give a.net the chance to come up with their own answer to raiding instead of asking them to implement wow style raiding which I totally dislike and doesn’t fit Guild Wars 2 play style.

My interest as to what they might come up with is definitely peaked

Thanks to this VID-OP for giving us a perfect example of all that is wrong with stealth and chain stealth.

Also this is not just a sPVP problem, the problem is a lot more compounded in WvW as you can see in the video.

Now, a.net has a blueprint as to how to approach it, probably, maybe, finally fix this broken mechanic.

Or….

Maybe provide proper counterplay, just a thought.

Simzani.4318:

Knote.2904:

An option I’d really like to see is smart ground targeting when targeting areas that are out of range.

Like if I use a 900 range teleport, but I cast it at 1000 range, then it still casts at it’s maximum 900 range in the direction of where I tried to cast it. Instead, right now it just fails until you target within range, which usually means you’ll waste like 100 range.

This would be a huge QOL change.

This. Please. Asap. Thanks.

I have to agree with this, it also ensures you always get the full extend of the range which would be awesome.

Jornophelanthas.1475:

@Latinkuro:

Yes, ArenaNet made exotics too easy to acquire. But placing blame does not help the situation. Something needed to be done.

Doing nothing was a surefire way of shortening the game’s lifespan.

Gradually introducing ascended gear might help the situation.

I think the solution was to do nothing about token acquisition at launch the system was perfect.
messing with it and than introducing time gated crap along with ascended introduced a new problem far worse than the original issue.

Arkham Creed.7358:

Oh for the love of……. -sighs-

People complain about everything being in RNG boxes and demand more items be sold directly in the gem store, and now that we have a new skin in the gem store people complain about that. Seriously sometimes I’m glad Arena Net just seems to ignore half of the people on these forums.

I second this ^^ you can’t please everyone but seriously come on people wht ?
at least they didn’t lock it behind stupid RNG boxes.

They should just do the same with weapons already

• some people will complain no matter what goodness a.net gives them !
• a,net could give them 100g for dungeon completion and some would still complain jeesh !
• haters gonna hate and complainers gonna complain !

In various interviews it has been mentioned that you’d like to give more professions abilities somewhat like mesmer portals well, guess what ? we elementalists already had such a great tool it’s Called ride the lightning but you changed it and it is now worthless (I say worthless of course compared to what it used to be able to do compared to know)

My point is, please change ride the lightning back to it’s original state !
why should mesmers be the only ones ?
and even engineers have rocket boots so why did you take away ours in the 1st place ?

If you feel like me vote +1 on this post or leave your thoughts behind in a post, keep this on the 1st page draw attention to it, let’s get ride the lightning’s glory back

I’m not saying they won’t have a trial period, I’m saying I wouldn’t want them to but let’s be honest they will at some point just right now it would be a silly idea for them to do so with such high demands for the game and all.

Also, the trials do need to be restricted in certain ways indeed like Wraith said,
- no world versus world access at peak times to ensure paying customer do get access.
- limited trading post access to prevent screwing up the economy.
- no whisper available only the open channel chats like say, map and all those.

Active damage mitigation in gw2 makes it possible to avoid 100% of the damage without investing in any kind of toughness or armor defense whatsoever.

My proposal

Adaptive Active Damage Mitigation

it’s simple really,
make dodge tie into the character’s toughness and armor rating.
Dodging would have a base damage mitigation of say 35-50%
For any higher damage mitigation you’d need to invest in toughness, armor and vitality.
up to say 75-80% damage mitigation via dodging.

What this change would do:

- it would make zerk only parties a lot harder, dare I say impossible since even dodging would not mitigate 100% of the damage and since zerkers do not invest in any kind of defense they would rapidly melt down.
- it would make defensive based play both desired and interesting to play.

My 2 cents.

Discuss.

EDIT

the numbers and formula’s are nothing but an example, I do believe wholeheartedly that the idea is a sound one.
It’s up to the professionals to figure out the correct ratios and so on as to not give high armor classes an advantage over light armor classes.

EDIT2

This is funny, anytime anyone (in this case me) brings up the obvious issues with current game mechanics, people immediately assume (oh he plays clerics or pvt and wants to feel welcome in this zerker meta)

I play zerker warrior, guardian, elementalist and mesmer.
I love them all but…..
That doesn’t mean I do not recognize the issues present in the game when one stat combo dominates all.

coglin.1867:

Compared to a lot of other crafting systems, I do not think this one is bad at all, but that is just me.

Ascended armor is coming, everyone might as well just accept it and move an. I do not see it as that big of a deal personally.

it isn’t a big deal YET because endgame content is still balanced around exotic stats as an endgame gear.

The moment new content starts to be balanced with the assumption that ascended is endgame gear, well that’s when the crap hits the ceiling.

Who is he ?
why was he chained up in the mists ?
Why did we need to save him ?
Is there a giants Race in the mists ?

Normally I don’t dig to deep into lore but that was just to awesome
a scene for me to ignore it.

Tintifax.2614:

Ehm, another question: If you can’t get the meta achievement of this limited time event for whatever reason (no time to play etc.) you permanently lose access to a crafting resource?
If so, second question: Has Arenanet totally lost their minds?

This on the other hand is a very GOOD question, they better find a way so that new players coming to the game after this event is over can also get access to this quartz resource.

The Guild Wars scrying pool is telling me that a NGE level catastrophe is headed our way

the problem is not the number of mats needed the problem is all the time gating and once per account BS that is going on, I tried to raise awareness of this trend when they performed their test with the useless quartz but since all the IQ deprived care bears seemed to like it and they make the majority of the player base, well now i say I tried to warn you but you chose not to listen now kitten and live with it. it’s a hell of your own making !!!!

with each ascended trinket there was a 1% crit dmg increase per item !
ascended armor has 1% increase on 1 item only, all the others are the same as exotics in terms of crit dmg !
I feel cheated !

where is my 1% crit dmg per item increase on ascended armor ?

gw1 vets like to brag about how gw1 didn’t have a grind, that is a straight up lie !
- it didn’t have a stat grind
- it did have a grind for looks !

here’s why

anyone that wanted one of the elite armor sets aka gw1 version of ascended armor
needed to grind a lot of very rare, very high priced materials that took months to acquire.

want a vabbian, obsidian or ancient armor set ?
here’s is list of materials you needed to get.
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/nightfall-complete-elite-armor-guide-t10069753.html

Don’t let the small sample number fool you those were high end materials that were hard to get back in the hey day of gw1 !

so in conclusion:
- was there a stat grind in gw1 ? no
- was there a grind for looks ? yes

Now give me my crit dmg increase per item on my ascended armor if you please ?
this is not gw1 !

Airships are a good idea but…..
the way you’re proposing it to be implemented ?
sorry I have to say no thank you, thanks for playing though.

Hmm, that is odd if you are in a party your buffs should only work for the party not go around randomly. If this is not the case than limiting those abilities to 5 targets is a bad idea.

Please don’t delete them!

You can hold on to your extra blade shards, as the team will be adding something later which will allow you to convert the shards to something of value. Dev will be announcing more on that later. Thanks!

Any chance you can increase the stack size? I have a few thousand of them.

when I bought the collections expander I kinda wanted my inventory stack size to increase as well, it didn’t I was kinda dissapointed why oh why a.net ?
Hint hint a..net add this feature to the collections expander.

KeyLimPi.9031:

I’m not trying to insult ANET, so don’t take it that way. The amount of hype they’re putting forward is dangerous. With the amount of build up and subsequent community letdowns they’ve done, if they screw this up after promising it’ll shake Tyria to it’s very core, then there’s going to be a pretty large group that will finally give up.

I mean it’s just a theory but the hype is a double edged sword, let’s hope they don’t commit seppuku

They indeed need to be careful,
I for one hope they nail it this time.
Zhaitan was to big a disappointment so much so I have yet to finish any PS on any of my 7 alts.

Primordus will become Scarlets puppy or Scarlet kills Primordus and absorbs his magic.

atheria.2837:

I wish to heck there was a way for everyone to have a WvW 101

• Many WvW communities do have extensive WvW 101 guides, manuals, do’s and don’t.
• Another reason for the lack of certain types of info about WvW is because certain servers have what they believe to be unique strategies that noone else knows about, and obviously sharing those is a big no no to them

All I can say is find yourself a good WvW guild, join them play and learn.
if at 1st you don’t succeed, try again.

Cloudwalkernz.1328:

Sadly, BG, TC, and JQ are all full. So I am wondering which server in NA will be the next big server.

Wrong question !

Transferring for such a reason will backfire on you in the long run.

The Real WvW’ders vs Casual WvW’ders kerfuffle

- The self proclaimed real WvW players say rewards don’t matter it’s enough for me kill players that’s how I have fun, the chest is just icing on the cake.
- The casual WvW players wanna see some proper rewards for time spent, killing is fun but getting properly rewarded adds more fun.

- I could also claim a real WvW player is the one that plays for objectives and ppt to benefit his server and achieve the win, not just for his own selfish needs.
- Those that play just for fights are selfish don’t care about their server and actually hurt their server, it’s a win the fight lose the war scenario for them.
they don’t care about server win or lose, all they care about is their tunnel vision fights, never looking at the bigger picture.

But I don’t say that because I understand there are different kinds of WvW players !

If killing players in PVP was all the fun you needed A.net wouldn’t be changing sPVP so drastically to provide the PVP scene with some much needed proper rewards !
stop making excuses and stop diluding yourselves thinking that not wanting proper rewards for your time spent makes you a real WvW player it doesn’t, it makes you a hypocrite.

Bread.7516:

custom and resizable UI pls

the UI is not the problem, it’s the overload of particle effects that makes it impossible to see.

others compare it to wow, but wow doesn’t require you to see the target, wow is a follow your rotations kind of game, while in gw it is imperative to be able to see your target’s movement.

WvW pre-Season 3 thoughts

This is not a QQ thread, please do NOT make it into one

All I’m saying is this:

A.net needs to learn from the mistakes made in seasons 1 and 2 before thinking of implementing WvW season 3.

• Season 1 was coverage and transfer issues.
• Season 2 was match fixing, manipulation, and intentional match losses to benefit in upcoming matchups.
• Seasons are way too long, especially considering how broken and easily cheatable their setup is.

I like seasons but I’d rather they don’t have any at all if they are not willing to do them right.

I’ve run into this issue many times already, if I have cool looking gear and I want to extract the rune / sigil I’d have to destroy the item in order to salvage the upgrade losing the cool looking skin it feels like such a waste, same thing if you transmute the item you still lose one of the skins and a set of runes or sigils.

Why not introduce a Skin / rune / sigil extraction stone ?
The extracted skin becomes a transmutation item just like the guild armor or weapon armor transmutable items.

• a,net could give them 100g for dungeon completion and some would still complain jeesh !
• haters gonna hate and complainers gonna complain !

100 gold is meaningless if the economy is out of whack.

and the gold is NOT the point, the point is people like these will NEEEVERRR be happy they will always find something to complain about, even if you take them to heaven they’d complain that it is to peaceful there

you’re forgetting all the tomes of knowledge PVP players got from the millions upon millions of glory most of them have, getting to 80 for them is a matter of clicking 80 times.

Both sides have pro’s and cons

But……

invalidating my PVE progress is NOT cool !

crossbow for ranger, thief and warrior makes sense but not for guardian sorry they are already insanely powerful giving them a full range weapon is totally out of the question.

hmm, what is this talk about melee AOE ?
melee weapons have cleave
- And yes, I know it hits 3 targets, but there is a clear distinction between cleave and AOE please don’t intertwine them !

- Since kick is not done with a weapon it hits 1 target, your foot doesn’t qualify for cleave :P

EDIT
On that note, I was making a joke about the foot not qualifying for cleave and found this
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Kick_ it seems a Warrior’s foot does qualify for cleave but a Ranger’s doesn’t now isn’t that funny ? jajajajajajaja

A.net learn from your neighbor Wild Star.
They give players a small in-game reward for enabling 2 step auth on their accounts.

This motivates even the lazy ones to actually do it, in the long run it means less accounts stolen and less headache for the entire player base, plus less tickets for you.

And yes, I’ve been using 2 step auth since day one of it’s inception

vladracul.6798:

and why did she had to open a hole for this dragon in LA, Kryta, if the thing is in Maguuma? Let me guess, just ’coz it is funnier to destroy the main city of the game even if there is no logic at all?

La was where the epicenter of the laylines resided.
that alone makes it clear why she chose that location.

a better question would be,
why does it say you can buy 1 more at this price ?
- does that mean you can mine it twice a day or do you get 6 ore instead of 3 ?
some clarification is in order.

We have so far a node in home instance for:
- candy corn.
- quartz.

How about a node for snow flakes ?
also if you come up with other limited time crafting materials please add a home instance node reward for it with the meta.

there is a debate going on right now wether rich dragon coffers have a guaranteed weapon ticket inside or not.

1st time I like the BLTC weapon skins but I’m not gonna gamble for them, if I’m spending real money on these coffers I expect a weapon ticket to be included in each one or why bother paying real money if it’s still RNG BS !

It’s insane you pay money for the chance to roll a dice, really !
Why do we let this slide as if it’s the most normal thing in the world ?

I see only one way to fix this issue:

- split gem purchases in two:
1- if you bought gems with ingame gold the rich coffers do have RNG in them for the weapon tickets.
2- if you spent real money on gems the rich coffers have a guaranteed ticket in them.
there problem solved.

How to implement such a thing, not a clue I leave that to the genius coders at A.net.

As the title says,

Sometimes I find myself liking the left shoulder of one set and the right shoulder of a different set.

It would be awesome to have the ability to mix and match different styles to create your own mix.

As such I propose to split left and right shoulder armor into individual pieces.

Thank you.

I’ve played since BWE1, have 7 level 80 characters, 100% world completion 1900 hours played and I still manage to be surprised from time to time by stuff I’ve never seen before, no precursor yet though !

This game has just to much content, and because of the way dynamic events work
you cannot really ever say you’ve seen it all, because it is not a linear path.

and the fact we have new content every 2 weeks is just wow, many argue oh but it’s not permanent well, here’s the kicker !

the fact that the content is not permanent is what compels people to play it and try and get it done, if it was permanent people would be like nah I’ll do it next month or next year.
the content would be just sitting there and never gets used.

the only thing though is it would be nice of them to add the Gw1 scrying pool to gw2 so that new players can go back in time and play the earlier living world releases the way they were released originally minus the unique rewards of course for doing the content when it actually came out.

I do agree and it has been said for a long time that defiant & unshakable are negating way to much CC. it has needed rework for a long time.

but I also understand it is there to prevent this! from happening.

I lost hours of my kitten time because the queue popped and I was away from my monitor for like 10 seconds after waiting for 2 kitten hours.

Will you please add a sound effect to the queue when it pops, please for the love of all that is kitten holy !!!

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

It seems if you were a PvP player, you would welcome the new rewards, even if it did require a bit of extra work. If you were never a PvP player anyway, then what difference does it make if running Story mode is necessary to open Reward tracks?

the difference is: they require PVE players to also ru story mode again !
if you were a PVP player you never played PVE so running story mode seems to apply or for anyone that hasn’t done so a million times already !

The problem is: a lot of people went and got all the dungeons done a long time ago and even went and got the dungeon master title which now means kitten if you’re required to do story mode again !

So as a Warrior if I want my rifle to pierce and hit 3 targets I have to waste a major trait in the arms tree, but a mesmer gets pierce on their greatsword w/o the need of a trait as of the 26th update, really !!

A.net WTH are you doing ??
baka ka omaera ?

Also the trait 50% crit chance against stunned foes is useless !!
as a warrior it is easy to get above 50% crit chance w/o sacrificing much of anything !

You must be joking or trolling or both right ?
I’ve been playing since b4 launch and I have yet to see 1 kitten precursor either from drop or the kitten mystic toilet. That should tell you how horrible RNG is in this kitten game it;s about the only thing that might actually make me kitten quit this game I love so much.

1 week after launch when people started doing dungeons most parties were naked by the time they reached the end boss of AC.
if you had a repair bill higher than 11s you were actually losing money instead of making some by doing the dungeon

All champions in the game will drop a new loot container based on their type. For example, champion bandits will drop a new Embroidered Coin Purse which will contain a few silver, some karma, and crafting materials, with a chance at skill points, rare crafting materials, and new, rare weapon skins.

I am excited.

This sounds a lot like low drop rate RNG BS all over again !

when will you learn a.net we don’t want more or heavier RNG we want less kitten it !!!

Ravious.4269:

The July event is going to create a huge supply of quartz in the market. You also have 5 home instances, and while I was not able to complete the achievement to check… the Belcher’s Bluff NPCs are in each home instance… so my charr traveled to the home instance in The Grove for example to face off the sylvari Om master there.

That means possible personal supply of 15 quartz/day.

WRONG
the personal quartz is a once per day per account resource !
which sucks and I’ve been saying it for at least a week now on the forums but the kitten care bears that only play 1 character outnumber me 5:1 !

Everyone that has multiple characters they play on a regular basis will suffer because of the kitten care bears !

And look at how clever a.net did it !
the raw quartz is tradable ! (so we don’t complain right ?)
but the kitten charged quartz is NOT and you can only make ONE per day !

This is kitten outrageous, and blatantly placing a badly implemented TIME GATE
to the game !

Sreoom.3690:

One way to eliminate or make zergs act more life like would be making AoE target agnostic…meaning a meteor shower should actually hurt anyone in the AoE area friend or foe. Same thing as a warrior/anyone wielding a great sword…spinning wildly in the middle of a group of people should kind of hurt everyone in your path…don’t ’cha think?

Then people would have to actually think tactically instead of fat fingering every skill on their bar wildly in the hopes of doing some damage….

yeah, that’s not gonna work, rather a better idea would be to:
make AOE & siege have proximity extra damage for example, enemies closely clomped together take 150%-200% more dmg from AOE or siege attacks

What I can see happening is them introducing new dungeons with other types of conditions, for which you will need new infusions on your ascended armor making ascended gear viable w/o adding a power creep / gear grind ladder at all.

You’re right Indigo I was changing that as you typed
