Guild Wars 2

I’m really hoping they’d reconsider townclothes and allow us to use them for combat. If not that, I’d really like some more cultural armors… Here are some from GW1 that can be used for humans.

The last one, I think would make for a wonderful flamekissed armor reskin though it’s the avatar of dwayna for dervish.

I only have marionette kitten I wish I could repeat it!

Leo Paul.1659:

Am I misunderstanding something? Don’t you have to be physically in the tournament as well for a chance to win and get the reward?

Yes,

Also travel, sponsorship, and real world money obligations. People that say “skill based” and “git gud and climb the ranks” are trolls that really have no idea what they are talking about. Anet isn’t paying for these people to fly to all these countries. This armor will be out of reach for 99.99% of players no matter how hard you pvp at home.

That being said. I am sure that its the same armor everyone will be able to earn on the track but with some kind of effect or trim added to it, and you will probably never see these people in game. I don’t think Anet would expense the resources to make a totally different armor for such a small small fraction of their audience, but I guess we will see.

I really hope they plan to add a in-game tournament system and a leaderboard that actually measures something.

Yea. I thought 1% was a little too generous of the OP. It’s organized, sponsored e-sports-participants-exclusive, not just elite PvP players in general. I don’t mind though, but some of the responses and analogies seem to be a little misinformed.

I don’t understand how it’s good to make people leave because there’s already “too many” on a boss. -_- Is this the only way to discourage zerging? If I’m a commander on a megaserver am I expected to “politely” shoo players away from a boss I’m handling?

edit:

If I’m out hunting and another player walks by, shouldn’t I welcome his help, rather than worrying that he’s going to steal my kills or consume all the mobs I wanted to kill? Or if I want to play with someone, shouldn’t we naturally have the same goals and objectives, rather than discovering that we’re in the same area but working on a different set of quests?

Well, perception is relative. It doesn’t look like a bodysuit to me when all the parts are worn.

Hmm…

I haven’t even filed a lawsuit yet, and Tixx is offering me all of this. What does that tell you about the validity of my case? Should I take the presents? Should I file? Or should I trade it all for what’s behind door number three?

Hmm this is a complicated matter. How old are you first of all? :X

Age is of no consequence to Asura. Only brains.

But I think we should use Human laws here, seeing the height of the “window” and how Tixx dresses, we can clearly see he’s into bookahs. There is malicious intent towards humans!

I see, but at least the moderators understand your point, unlike some people. The way to obtain ascended is tired (particularly weapons and armors), forcing you to grind old content all over instead of introducing innovative and fun ways to get them. This is particularly annoying for old players who’ve already done those tasks so many times. It also serves no real purpose at this point, adding NOTHING to the game aside from being a carrot on a stick and only relevant for agony resistance (and wvw to a lesser extent) which isn’t really anything new. The “new” fractals we got are merely rehashed LS stuff.

Ascended items should be more relevant to the game, as it does require quite a bit of effort to acquire. It really needs new content to make them worthwhile. Maybe insert a bit of lore about them and/or a full on quest as a means to get them instead. They could’ve extended the personal story, making ascended equips the rewards after finishing a chapter or something. LS could’ve been a good platform too.

At this point, I think there should be new content that is only accessible by having ascended items, something pertinent to the lore (NOT Scarlet) or to personal story development to keep us interested in them.

Nah… we just need to make a sport out of punting Phlunt off the side of Rata Sum!

This is how it would work:

(1) We bind Phlunt with rope & bungee cord.
(2) Next, we tie the really long cord to a secure, strong object like a wall.
(3) Then one person gets to kick him off the side of Rata Sum!
(4) Once the bungee cord stop bouncing, we reel him back into Rata Sum!
(5) Repeat steps 3 & 4

I call this game “Punt Phlunt”.

Remember, he has to be alive for this work! Killing Phlunt would take the fun out of this!

10/10 would play everyday!

Good thing I don’t get immersed enough in video games that I confuse my real world morals with theirs.

But you immersed enough to go to the forums and talk about how not immersed are you. You know, some people might even think, that you care. Silly people.

Of course I care about the game. I wouldn’t be playing it otherwise… Just not enough to misconstrue a joke with realism.

So…would it be fine, if game, u care about, would transform into puke jokes and story for a 10 year old kids?

It hasn’t so far. I’ll keep you posted about how I’d feel about it if it happens.

See? So its all about your moral standards. Guess, they just wasnt as high as mine. A little lower and even u would be hurt. Looks like you immersed much enough. Just dont accept it untill it hurts ya.

Morality is subjective. What you perceive as high, I might see as self righteousness.

But my point still stands. If u care about the game > u care about the story. U just fine with the way story is made right now.

Ofc I do care about the story. That was never a point of contention.

It was, actually.
Good thing I don’t get immersed enough in video games that I confuse my real world morals with theirs
U see. If u not immersed enough, so u shouldnt care about puke jokes and story for 10 year olds.

Because its a game world! Dont confuse your morals and theirs! In Tyria its just fine!

Wut? Not being deeply immersed =/= not caring.

Ill just live you hanging at this point of conversation. You should understand my point with some time given.

Oh I completely understand your point… I just don’t agree.

I want asian inspired town clothes.. like a kimono or something..

Well, it’d be a convenient way to kill him. I’ve been eyeing that sword of his for a while now.

Azure Prower.8701:

Because I do not want to even think of farming for different tiers of cloth from mobs for ascended armors. Because I no longer want to repeat content I’ve done a thousand times before for an insignificant reward.

This has become a Korean grinder. I’m now struggling to log in.

Qaelyn.7612:

I don’t need to read it again. Every forum of every MMO is filled with complaints from people who play insane amounts of time and get bored of the game, but rather than recognizing that maybe they should take a break and try something else, claim that there’s something wrong with the game.

Sigh, people and their selective reading.

Vayne.8563:

I’ve been playing the game since headstart without a break and I don’t understand the OP either.

Maybe the OPs opinions aren’t shared by everyone. Quite a few people in my guild were here at launch and have played continuously.

Your go to arguments are always Some Are/Some Are Not or Unwarranted Contrast. I dunno how anyone can even take you seriously anymore.

Supposing this is real, the Guild Wars 2 Conduct Breaches & Outcomes states the following:

“We’ve created our Guild Wars 2 Rules of Conduct (the “Rules of Conduct”) to make sure that Guild Wars 2 is a safe, fun game environment for all players. The Rules of Conduct contain restrictions on bad language and in-game behavior, and on inappropriate names that may be rude, crude, or socially unacceptable. They contain protections for you, so your privacy is maintained, and for us, as developer and publisher of Guild Wars 2 , so that the integrity of the game is preserved.”

So, by blocking someone’s picture how is that compromising the integrity of the game?

It’s funny how people seem to defend Anet because “ToS!”. :/ Apparently, they are okay with having random tests of obedience however Anet sees fit and be reprimanded if you don’t obey regardless of how odd the demand is. I didn’t know we were playing Mad King Says.

So, agreeing to do something when you create an account but not doing it when it’s supposedly asked of you because it deemed as ‘odd’, but in no way requires significant effort on your part, is just fine?

11. You will follow the instructions of authorized personnel while in Guild Wars 2 or on the official Guild Wars 2 website.”

Of course, this is assuming that the DC wasn’t just a fluke. if it was, this whole thread should not exist.

Is it -that- hard to show a little respect for a mod? for just a couple of seconds? It’s far from Mad King Says.

I didn’t sign away my consumer rights against unfair practices when I clicked it.

Let’s see how you’d feel when you get kicked out of the game just because a dev didn’t like how your character looks at that particular moment (not Kodan in this instance).

No Scarlet!!!! WOOOO! Best news ever!

Please not scarlet!

Ishmael.6740:

Look, it’s really not what it seems to be…

It’s ah… It’s the ASURA! They plan an invasion of Queensdale with their gimmicky golems! We’re just trying to work up a defense plan for our good human buddies, hehe…

You better be tellin the truth. You won’t want us to unleash our secret weapon on Black Citadel.

I didn’t find it tactless or awkward at all, although I do agree with having more options that would reflect what kind of personality you’d like your own character to have. It’s just as distasteful though that some people think that those who do not empathize with their moral view is inferior.

Im not forcing my morals on you. It was your kind of people morals, that was forced on my hero. If it wasnt for all this topics “olololo look! I stomped scarlet with a cow”, devs would have a little more respect to Scarlet.

She deserves respect? :/

So we should talk about that now? I still believe, that at some point we would find out, that without Scarlet intervention, Tyria would have been doomed. It would be to long if ill start reading my full pro and con list of Scarlet aftereffect on the Tyria.

So ill just settle down to say, that every dead deserve respect. I dunno about your country, but in mine there is even a saying “When you talk about the dead, talk the good or keep silent”

That applies to computer generated images too? My point is, don’t diss the people who aren’t offended by the same things. Sure, your dislike is warranted, perhaps it’s cultural, but people who like the the scene aren’t necessarily “little humans” who have no heart.

God knows I’m one of the more critical people when it comes to Anet’s releases, and I’ve never really said this but: Thank you for BotW Anet. I love the homage to cantha.

DreamyAbaddon.3265:

You where asked to move and you didn’t.
Maybe instead of being a jerk, you could have moved when you were asked and be kind?

I support the Dev if they did D/ced you out for the short time.
Abuse of power or not… I rather someone abuse power to bring justice than not.

It’s their game not yours. We all have the right to access to play their game but we don’t own it.

Appreciate for having the access to play or don’t play at all.
Be kind to others or leave the game.

Paradox.

You would think Anet would’ve cautioned devs by now about doing these sorts of things on a whim after the whole Escape from Lion’s Arch quaggan-dev-afk-kicking/banning-to-let-a-guild’s-members-join-their-overflow fiasco by now.

I’m glad the moderators have taken notice of this thread.. I don’t expect everyone to understand, but at least the people who matter do.

Oh man I wish I knew about the upcoming faces before I used up my total makeover kit. GRRR!

wait what? when is this coming?

also there’s a Captain America some where on bg. I saw him in wvw and pvp. I didn’t get the chance to ss him. he did a decent job. and his guild is call shield agents I think XD pretty funy when I saw him.

Festival of the four winds. I saw it on a german preview. I have a screenie with capt. america.. XD

letting the people keep the current flamekissed design would be unfair. they can however, provide some sort of compensation like giving 800 gems AND letting them keep the new design.

I just hope that they don’t force us to do wvw if we wanna unlock things in pve or pvp.. I seriously can’t stand to play wvw anymore

Because 250 years and a retcon isn’t enough for me to like them for what they did in GW1.

Thank you very much for the updates. <3

Personally, I feel like the personal story could be unlocked earlier. I like how I could gain experience by doing it as an alternative to heart quests.

LilMcGinley.3890:

Harsh? Asc trinkets are a 3-5% overall boost to your stats. Unless you are hell-bent on always having the best items, you don’t have to get these.

Exotics will still be viable as they always were.

Crafting needed something like this to be worth-while again. No one crafts for any reason other than to level now, it’s pointless otherwise. Now you can make money and help guildies by being a 500 crafter.

People always reason this out “you don’t have to get it”. It’s so stupid. It’s like saying be happy with your masterwork level of equipment instead of exotic. The difference is hardly noticeable anyway.

Dr. Manhattan is a “creature of energy” yet he still has “man parts”.

Palador.2170:

cesmode.4257:

Apparently, the dancing bears(sounds so silly to say) didn’t mind him being there. He was playing an instrument. The only sour grape was the dev. Why should he have to move? …Again if all of what the OP said is true. There are always two sides to a story.

If you look at the one screenshot that was posted by someone else, you can notice that the screenshot was taken from a transformed character. A quick look shows that one of the Kodan isn’t showing a name above their head, meaning that’s who took the screenshot.

So, we have the word of one of the Kodan players that the character playing an instrument wasn’t causing a problem and was welcome there by all but the ANet person. The poster simply can’t confirm or deny any other parts of the story. However, there have been reports of problems with this particular ANet person before.

Yes, I believe someone abused their powers. And I think they’ll get away with it, just like they always have.

If it was any other dev I would most certainly give him/her the benefit of the doubt. But I’ve been around for a while enough to have read the other threads regarding issues of abuse of power about this person both on this forum and on gw2 reddit to feel it isn’t so farfetched that he’d do something like this (again).

THESE.

and ritualist armors.

I want a quaggan dance

kitten , all those great armors in GW1. I wish they’d just use those instead of re-skinning GW2 ones. Would’ve saved them a lot of trouble if they did that instead of the T3 human cultural for sure.

Shademehr.1397:

Kitta.3657:

Are you telling me that you, and the others with your mindset (that we are all prudes for not liking how this was done) would accept to have equal amount of skin showed for males just like this image shows?
‘cause I’m sure there would be the biggest uproar if it was to happen. The problem is not nudity, it’s the objectification of the woman body. A male bared naked chest does not have the same connotations… a woman can be arrested for being topless at the beach, per example.

Anyway that is not even the issue we are bringing up. Why do you guys keep calling us prudes when we say “we don’t care if it’s skimpy… it just isn’t logical or anatomically correct!” Wow, so hard to grasp… -.-

How does one determine what is logical and anatomically correct in a fantasy game? o.O Maybe I should be upset, no NERDRAGED, because male Charr don’t have eight nipples?

Suppose we can just agree to disagree?

At any rate, love the new skins Anet. Would love to see lots more AND some sort of locker/wardrobe/etc. like GW1 had where we can stop by any time and pick these up for any of our characters once we’ve “unlocked” (paid for) them.

There are humans IRL. There aren’t any charrs. To know what is anatomically correct for a human, look in the mirror. -_- seriously this logic.

guys new info

some Renown Hearts will change after patch.

Taking food to feed cows were too complex, so now you only have to F-click the cows.
Taking water buckets were too complex, now you only F-click the plants.
and so on..

so yeah no more fun thinks like running with water and other like that. Now we just F-click everything because this game want to be PEGI 3

I would really laugh my kitten off if they actually did this.

Newsflash: That’s actually what they did – for real.

Auesis.7301:

Really? It makes you blue and ethereal. You going to whine about Dr. Manhattan, too?

:/ You mustn’t have read the comments about the Watchmen film. His “stuff” is probably the most discussed thing about it. The movie IS rated R though. I don’t think GW2 is..

I don’t understand what’s unethical or unfair with this kind of scenario. I feel like the people who are defending against such a tactic are being elitists. 1 commander would make all the difference. If an entire server is shutdown by 20 people camping your spawn point, considering the fact that 10 people would’ve activated the breakout event, then you don’t deserve anything from that battleground.

It isn’t dirty, it isn’t immoral, cheap or illegal. It’s a strategy. Stop being holier-than-thou. Obnoxious piety is more annoying.

Let’s just say GW2 used to be better before they introduced ascended. The sheer amount of currencies introduced for this item tier alone speaks how badly designed they are.

Oddly, when I think of a precursor for a legendary, I feel like it should be the EASIEST to get among the requirements. It’s just an exotic item, something to be improved upon. Such as in tales where the weapon a hero has been wielding his entire quest ONLY becomes legendary due to the feats it has accomplished and how it served its master. The journey should be the priority imho; the Gifts makes me feel more like I deserve the title Legendary.

So I now have the precursor – it’s time to set into a big adventure to make it legendary or something to that effect. :/ As it is now, we are required to grind for gold or to hire an accountant, totally unrelated to being legendary.

OMFG! For real?! How were you able to recover from losing so much gold?!

I wish I have a master salvage kid. :*(

Does the queen now expect perfection?

Will Logan never see us again?

Are the recruits going to become bleedin’ useful?

Is there going to be no one left to pound into the ground like a big nail?

These are all VERY serious questions.

“by all six gods, what is that thing? it’s huge!”
“brace yourselves, think it’s gonna explode!”
“i was too kitten francis”

half of my enjoyment of keyfarming was giggling like an idiot at the same innuendo jokes i’d tell myself every run.

And creating characters with the word “key” on their names. XD

I like the birthday blaster. Would’ve been happier if we got a mini too. But I’ll take what I can get.

You can extract all infusions (like precise infusion and +5 agony resistance) on an infused item using 1 extractor..

The GW2 today REQUIRES me to play the game every single day for 40 days or join a big guild. That isn’t how I envisioned GW2 to be, afaik GW1 never required you to play so much to have equipments at par.

Keeps the legendary purple font and name now, but still can be put in the Mystic Forge together with exos. Im pretty confident this will be fixed in the future seeing as how they keep on improving it every patch.

-- that’s just.. ugh. very.. i don’t even have a word for it. --

Well, it’s been 250 years since GW1, perhaps Cantha hasn’t remained strictly oriental then. But really, I’m so disappointed to know the reason for the great collapse. I’m asian myself, but help me understand.. Is it racist that the cultures were blended, thus the negative feedback?

on your phantasms? I really hate it that mesmer phantasms get glitchy when wearing armors that have effects on them. -_- But this one takes the cake in being the worst imho.
