Guild Wars 2

It was stated in game that the diagram shows the planet of Tyria with pale tree on top of it….. i don’t get what you are theorycrafting here…

OMG! Anet wants us to do something challenging to complete the achievement! Why have they done that? We want achievements for pressing F around LA, nothing more!

and now everyone will buy rares worth 100g and try it too….

1. Ascended will be always the best in slot.
2. Ascended armor is just ~5% better than exotic armor
3. When ascended armor was released, people like me crafted it just because they wanted to work towards something. Now there are so many things to work towards in this game that the player has to choose. Basically, you need ascended armor for high level fractals (70+ or something like that), raids (if you are playing with friends and your raid party is good, exotic is enough)
4. Ascended items that are must-have are jewelry. Amulet is the cheapest and even cheaper if you buy it in WvW. For rings just play fractals and you will get loads of them plus tokens for which you can buy the ones you want. Accessories (earrings) are the hardest to get, but if you can find some guild and do guild missions with them, you will get enough tokens for both earrings in like 4 weeks.
5. Ascended weapons are must-have if you are playing raids or high level fractals.
6. Ascended backpack is not hard to get. For example, Mawdrey is very cheap now. Just buy all the foxfire clusters from TP. For the quest for mawdrey you need to do some living world 2 episodes. Other option is to craft ascended backpack from mystic forge or from doing fractals a lot.
In conclusion, first get jewelry, weapons, backpack, then go for ascended armor if you feel like it and just enjoy the game, don’t rush for the gear like many no-lifers out there.

Good luck.

Yay, I am so excited! not!
Even if it really is an expansion, it means it will continue with this planty boring dragon…. with more skins for real money and more grind and more content based on filling up lists of achievements for mediocre rewards. Yay….. Btw, where is precursor crafting?

OP, I think you failed. You have zero data, yet you are making a big claims.

I don´t see why we cannot dye weapons.. just dumb excuses…

Paponzi.1637:

I fail to see how this is a bad thing

There is a difference between ‘populated’ and ‘Tokyo overcrowded’, you know. Anet does not, apparently.

greatly explained

OP, we really don’t need posts like this. Situation with material loot is already really bad. We don’t want another nerf.

Yumiko Ishida.3769:

I want this back its annoying me that I don’t have it! I use this feature all the time every day!

Exactly! My words… please, please, please, fix it ASAP

The fact that this minigame costs tickets is sad. I personally have lesser gold than before the patch came out, only because I try to complete 5 gambit achiev which takes you 6 tickets.

/agree with all posters
anet, again, please lower the number of players per each shard or delete mega server system completely or allow players to create their own shards with adjustable amount of players.
Thank you

More interestingly – what will be the specialization for Revenant? :P did you even think about it?

Does the new profession even need one yet, as it is getting the benefit of designers see what has and hasn’t worked and the additional development time, I can’t think of any profession that would have been the state it is now if it had been delayed to be part of the expansion as opposed to (for some) being rushed to make it for the initial launch.

Of course he doesn’t need it, but you know.. they said that every profession will get a new specialization

You really have potential to be a great game designer. However, GW2 Vanilla is finished for Anet. They will never revisit personal story and change it. We tried to make them change Zhaitan right after the launch, but I think their response was that they are not able to change that and that they learnt their lesson about designing final boss encounters. I am sure that they will do better with 2nd Elder Dragon

Vayne.8563:

In the process they might lose some players who don’t appreciate it, and that’s okay. There are a whole lot of people running around Southsun Cove these days. And before that, there were a whole lot of people running around in Diessa Plateau and Wayfarer Foothills.

They run around mostly because of the instigator events and +200%MF/gold buff.
I, myself, consider living story good addition, but it shouldn’t be focus for the developers… I finished SouthSun events, achievements (even crabtacular) in 2 days and what I am supposed to do the rest of the time? Farming karka all the time isn’t that fun after a while. I would like some content which is spread across the whole Map, so i can choose my favourite zone and help Tyria there. I don’t think that bringing the whole player base into one zone, leaving the other 98% zones empty, is the right decision for this game. Yesterday, I went to the zone where Durmand Priory has its HQ (forgot the name of the zone) and it was so beautiful and I felt sad that nobody goes there just because they have no reason…

What I would like to see in GW2 is HARD MODE version of all the zones in the game, adjusted for level 80 players or more strict scaling down system for level 80 players but with only high end drops of equipment and material. Now, when level 80 player come to some low or middle level zone, he gets T1/2/3/4 mats and low level equipment… it is not rewarding, hence almost nobody comes there and in addition to this, it is not challenging at all. Maybe I get scaled down from 80 to 15, but when I am able to solo some champion, something is really wrong.

I logged in, I turned on my team speak client, I said hi to my guild mates, we went in, we killed 3 bosses and Gorseval twice in like 2 hours, we said good night, and went off.

Raids are for organised people, for guilds, for friends. Raids are not for LFG. I found out about it the hard way. I was on the verge of totally quiting. Then I joined a guild and found out how it is.

I agree with the OP.

Nothing really.

Our whole guild, around 50 people, did not get personal reward chest for ghost wolf rush. We also did not get favor. The chest icon in guild tab is still closed.

We tried this twice.

Anet, just erase the dome. Don’t ignore your players.

Recipe: Bowl of Sweet and Spicy Butternut Squash Soup

Why is this recipe not acquirable from molten facility / duo fractals? It is pretty bad design that a small percentage of people who has this recipe can control the prices. And buying it for around 100 gold is also not feasible.

This should drop somewhere. It is not some special skin like jetpack that has to maintain its rarity. It is a high-end food that is needed in raids that are now ArenaNet’s focus. Therefore, this recipe needs to be acquirable again.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Recipe:_Bowl_of_Sweet_and_Spicy_Butternut_Squash_Soup

I remember how I once got 2000 gems for 7 gold right at the launch years ago xD. Now, I always buy them because it is cheaper to earn real cash than to farm

I spent about 20g to get weaponsmithing from 400 to 476. Saying it costs 200g is just silly. Stop QQing, start playing, farm those mithril and elder nodes, kill some champs, do some JPs, WvW, dungeons. And you can have it in a month.

Second thing:
Using all 9 weapons of guardian…. why do you need all of them on ascended tier? stat boost is not necessary. It is already easy to play with exotics. Craft only ascended weapon you use 95% of time. Like Greatsword, or Scepter. And craft it to boost your DPS, not base stats. And then play game, have fun… and after sime time you will find out you have another pile of mats to craft second ascended….

guys you are like little kids who need their toys right after they are released… stop crying, start playing.. nobody needs ascended now. They are just something you can work on for longer period of time.

I feel the same as OP. Those maps are so cool i almost forgot to do the story. And i was checking TP too and gigling like a madman when i saw the prices of precursors hahahahaha

Scarlet must have explained something, otherwise the heroes wouldn’t know the name Mordremoth.

and how are we supposed to get those beverages during the year? TP? that is not the proper fix. The proper fix is changing it to 1000.

You are trolling, right?
- You are angry that they changed things for the better
- You think old legendaries are obsolete just because there are some new skins for them
- You are playing a game in which the ultimate goal is to save Tyria from 6 elder dragons, yet you are surprised there was a second dragon after the first one
- You think not having masteries means you are a noob
- You are angry they added new specialisations which you can get by playing the game for a few hours, days at max.
- and you claim there is more…. wou, I think you should take a break.

I tried 2 full Silverwastes cycles with something like 400 MF. Didn’t get it but I got some nice exotics and T6 mats…. it is probably better to just enjoy the game and not to expect that stone to drop. It is just a limited closed beta anyway…

For some security reasons they turned it off. It was just easier for them to create current launcher and let you in game straight from it.
However, I want the old one, too. I already made like 2 topics about it.
Anet just won’t do it.

Tonight, I will finally get to play my beloved GW2. After the whole week of missing my gaming computer and spending my free time on reading the forums, I got hyped for this game almost as much as before beta tests and the launch.
If some of you are tired of little issues like overflows, balance, clipping, precursors, whatever else, then try to give yourself a break and you will find you would gladly forget about these issues if you were able to do some open world events, JPs, dungeons, alt leveling, etc.

Norn males are horrible. Their very short legs and giantic torso look so unnatural. I have 9 characters, but only 1 norn – a big boobed female. Btw, did you try to create the shortest norn male possible? His height doesn’t scale down his feet, so he looks like a clown. Horrible…and weird it isn’t fixed after so many years.

Sorry for offtopic. I also agree that racial skills are heavily underpowered. They should make them on par with normal elites. Yes, and I don’t care about that blablabla about fairplay.

ScribeTheMad.7614:

The only reason they got weapon swap added (they didn’t launch with that) was from before the wardrobe. When you had to use a transmutation crystal to move the skin to another GS destroying the first set of stats in the process, which meant if you wanted to switch back it cost a 3rd GS, then a 4th, 5th, etc.
Expensive with exotics, just nuts with ascended.
Now that we have the wardrobe and the ability to apply the legendary skin to as many weapons as you want with no loss of gear it’s time for the stat swapping to go and legendaries restored to what they are supposed to be, and that is cosmetic ONLY.

The stats swap on Legendary was added because before each Legendary had one stats. So I remember when I crafted my Sunrise it was Soldier stats. This problem would still be there today if they remove the stats swap. My Sunrise would be Soldier stats and I would need to craft a Ascended and then transmute my legendary on that ascended.

Make no sense that you need to craft both an Ascended and a Legendary just to have the right stats on your Legendary. They could change the swap stats to a one time thing. Like you craft your legendary, you choose your stats once and then you can swap them to something else. I wouldn’t mind that, but is it that important?

I rather that they also include a sigil swapping system personally.

Yeah, should be a one time thing. Bam, problem solved.

Are you * insane guys? This is the only thing why many people craft legendaries.

funny…….not

After two years of GW2 (if you count beta) you, Arenanet, still only experiment with the wildest ideas you have. Your feature pack is great, I enjoy them, but you didn’t thought through the decision about changing the bosses.

If only you allowed guild leaders to create their own zone instances for bosses, everything would be just fine.

That’s the only thing that is fun now.

Amaranthe.3578:

the maps weren’t designed with gliding in mind like maguma
it will kitten it up
and anet knows this to be true
the only reason anet might add this eventually is to encourage the weirdos who didn’t buy the expac to do it because they will see gliders in the starting zones
say no to gliding in main tyria

It will be just a big improvement for me. Faster traveling, a lot of fun. I don’t care about your opinion so please don’t tell me what other people want :P

It always gave 5 to me. Wiki is either wrong or those other quantities are extremely rare.

1. FPS drop – Lions Arch – from 35 into 22, Malchor’s Leap – from 50 into 35
2. Screen freezing – during clicking on skills or moving the camera
3. Audio lagging/missing – all the audio, not just dialogues
4. My girlfriend is even experiencing invisible enemies, but visible players and friendly NPC

Please, can I hope you will fix all of these things? Even those invisible enemies? I find it a very serious gameplay-breaking issue

I will never buy dyes for gems!!!
This is a bad decision, ArenNet.
Leave US/EU dye system as it is!!!!
It is so nice to loot dye every once in a while!!

paying 2000 gold for a bug

Anet, this is important. Read it, learn from it.

This is a work of NC Soft. Well… at least I won’t feel bad when I switch to TESO.
Broken main manifesto statement is unforgivable.

Morrigan.2809:

hehe I would love to move to Southsun- just clean up/domesticate the Karkas.
give out some personal plots and we are good to go.
It even has a bikini beach

Exactly!
…and imagine KARKA MOUNTS (just kidding)

Please elaborate on their functionality in HOT. Will they still provide level up? Will we be able to use them on Revenants?

Also, it would be really lovely to explain Scrolls of Knowledge turning into " MF mats"

ArenaNet, please nerf nerf nerf! Don’t listen to the OP. Nerf!

No character slot, no money.

loseridoit.2756:

or how about nerfing the cost of gearing up for raid so there is easy access to all builds like how it was when the game first started.

Ascended armor is probably a really kittenty update.

This is what I want, but we will obviously never get it, because elitists would QQ

I don’t think they will show Trehearne again, or record another audio with him. People just hate him, because…. i don’t know why… i did like him in the story

1. you can travel between zones without teleports – no boundaries made of square mountain ranges. Old grandpa Lineage 2 could make it. Why not game from 2012?
2. all the stat combinations are viable. There is no elitism towards knight and berseker stats.
3. Creation of system fixing the clipping, designing capes in the process.
4. Bringing back the old login screen.
5. Fixing zergfests

6. Making acquisition of precursor a quest (I know it will come soon so this is just temporal point which would blow my mind )

I invested 200 euro into this to get 2 ultimates for me and my GF…and now this… we probably don’t even want to play anymore
When I imagine those masses of spam bots and all the things associated with F2P I feel so sorry I didn’t rather use that money on something else.
