Guild Wars 2

Avatar of Melandru can be very useful in some situations. I would not recommend using it over standard profession elites unless you are an ele though.

Garambola.2461:

What I fear is that it is: “Yay! Closed Beta next week.” And nothing more.

But what would a ReadyUp have to say about Closed Beta? “Yay, Closed beta!” ?

“Yay, Closed beta! Lets do a recap of what we know so far.”

ProtoGunner.4953:

So what’s the big deal with this extremely underwhelming lvl1 armor looking armor skin anyway?

Probably because they ask 10$/10€ for it and when turns out is has horrible clipping they just make it worse and move on to the next one. Not the first time it happened. And probably not the last because “what’s the big deal”.

50% nerf means that instead of usual 7k-9k it will deal 3.5k-4.5k. Still better than most utilities.

Crystal Reid.2481:

They will be disabled.

That’s more information about raids than we got from announcement and few blog posts.

Arnox.5128:

What in the ####ing #### has ANet done to deserve these attacks?

Well they did release HoT. Current Broham’s story arc is criminally bad too.
Probably nothing. People just like to see the world burn and ddos is the easiest way to do that.

Old loot pinata learned how to tickle.

Elixir should be a mastery or at least an infinite potion. It also feels underused.
Please remove armor parts drops after story step is completed >_>.
Map itself is good. No idea why underwater layer exists tho.
Last instance needs a checkpoint for the last boss fight.
How do I murder Braham?

Linken.6345:

And the same prestige could be achieved with titles instead not locking away gear with new functionality.

Already done. To get titles you need to do somewhat hard achievements as a group. To get armor you need to poke boss to death and complete some open world events.

<1 hour after anet added capes> “OMG clipping everywhere anet ruined game worst dev ever!!1111!”

And yeah capes are stupid and look ugly. Just like plastic crow wings.

Scandi.5693:

How in the world would anyone think it appropriate to discuss sexual things and some rather perverted and abusive sexual things in map chat?

This is internet. I would be more surprised if this did not happen.

Hyareil.1850:

• Add more ways to acquire these items – for example add them as possible rewards to the defense events

This. I still don’t know why anet did not do this to begin with.

I don’t care about shifts :P. Weapons are cheap to make and ascended armor only required (easy bypass is buying +10 infusions) for fractal 50.

The Itzel: Long-Legged and Laid-Back

Weed frogs. Nice.

Wasabi Kitty.8247:

It’s 100% opt-in. Don’t like it, don’t use it.

And potentially be excluded from content if you don’t reveal your gear via this site.

It has the potential to be very dangerous and divisive.

Don’t worry. Players have many ways to kick you even without this website. By the way it is anet that created this api and added ability to gearcheck with it so it is kinda intended.

Mayga.7241:

TheRandomGuy.7246:

There is smaaall little reason why legendary armor must remain locked behind hardest content in the game. It is called Crafting.

Nothing should belong only to a small fraction of the players in this game. I can go through a raid – this is no problem, I have years of experience in hardmode content.

But why is it necessary? Why this should be tied to the raid content? We have here WoW or GW2? I came to play in GW2. And I want to stay in it – not in clone of WoW.
So legendary armor must be hard-to-get, but only like legendary weapon. Raids must be pure challenge. This is only way to prevent the separation of the community.

Here we go again. WoW and doom in the same post. “Years of experience” yet you don’t understand why armor sets with free stat swapping should not be available to everyone.

dlonie.6547:

Even I can’t find anything to complain about with it :-P

Yes, No, Sarcastic, <Question> in almost all dialogs.
No skill checks in dialogs (only charisma).
Wtb dialog overhaul mod.

Lendruil.9061:

Quick update for the thaumanova bug, we got it again (gg) and it crashed again, but if at least 1 person doesn’t close the error message, this person is still in the fractal even if the client has crashed. This means, that the rest of the party can reenter the fractal after they restarted their game.

Wait what? Is this for real? Killing a skritt crashes whole party? kitten.

Katalos.5038:

• No GvG

A lot of people are asking the same question. GvG arena would be nice.

Katalos.5038:

• Easy leveling

Side effect of this fancy “horizontal progression”. Was good in theory but meh in practice.

Katalos.5038:

• No world channel

World channel will definitely not work well with megaservers but I would loooooooove to see custom made channels. Like linkshells in ff14.

Trahearne is a plant. He has cabbage instead of brain. Of course he will lead people to their death. He has absolutely no idea how to command.

Guild Wars 2: Reborn would be neat.

Blaeys.3102:

training and encouraging them to move on to harder content

This is what their fractal rebalance project is trying to do.

While we at this awesome communication part… would you kindly look into snowblind bug? Elemental Source broken hitbox one.

Good old dungeon forum is back. Gj Pan.

Saturday
Daily worthless actions:

• Chatting with guild members
• Walking in circles in LA
• Walking in circles in DR
• Mining rich platinum nodes

Daily ACHIEVEMENTS:

• Daily Kryta Lumberer
• Daily Activity Participation
• Daily Dredgehaunt Cliffs Event Completer
• Daily Fire Elemental

Daily completionist: 0/3. AP earned: 0.

Not fair.

Absurdo.8309:

What have you found “abusive” from raiders? I lead pug groups every week. I have not encountered any abusive behavior.

Something like “Can you change your class?” or “Don’t use x trait here because Y is a lot better.” or even “We are looking for a warrior but you entered as a ranger. Change class or leave.” is extremely offensive in gw2.

Marthkus.4615:

I like the idea that if your party kicks someone from an instance you can’t fill that slot.

Another idea is that if you leave your party from an instance, your party can fill that slot but you are blocked from the path for a day. If you leave 3 paths in a day you would then be blocked from dungeons/fractals for a day.

Zerk only meta 8K+ AP groups could still set up their groups with lots of vetting, but the toxic behavior would be curbed.

Does that mean that I will be able to report people that don’t read and ignore everything for LFG abuse?

Wait wait wait. So all this pointless threads and unreadable posts exist because necro can outdps support warrior who is in the party because of his buffs in the first place? Someone enlighten me.

If you die at a world boss it is always faster and easier to just wp and run back than just lying on the ground being useless, upscaling the event and endangering other people who will try to rez you.
Never saw any problems with rezing in open world though. Everyone seems friendly and happy to rez if you fell from a vista or died from the mobs.

Fenrir.3609:

Are people really so desperate to get their nomads facetank into the speed run meta that they want to change the games combat system?

Yup. People really want to get rewards for doing nothing but occasionally spawning waterfields.

Mem no Fushia.7604:

Many won’t even glance at game, cuz they need to give email, register etc..

If random Billy can’t be bothered to enter an email, password and press big red button, then downloading the client and creating a character will be even more work than studying string theory.

DarkSyze.8627:

Dovienya.6597:

Take into account the lowered amount of time it takes to do a fractal

At higher levels it can take a lot more time than old fractal 50 with bad rng. And that’t not even because fractals are harder. All bosses are literally damage sponges now. They pose no threat and take like 3 times longer to kill.

GuzziHero.2467:

I’m trying to play the instance that comes with the new beta weekend but the mordrem menders are impossible to kill. I can’t even get one to half health before it suddenly reheals itself to near max hp.

Try dps gear. They die pretty fast.

Quin Marino.6384:

The spider queen change was definitely intended. I was in a guild with the dev who made the change, he had talked about it during an AC run as “imagine how people would fight her if the poison didn’t have a minimum range…”

And the answer is “they will kill her before her model loads”

Don’t know if anyone mentioned it but cannons at mai trin make farting noise too.

STIHL.2489:

Sorry, I get you want your little bits of entitlement, but as you said, a Precursors can drop from a Moa, as such, there is nothing currently in the game that justifies the total lock out you all want.

And most assuredly not in fractals.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Legendary_Backpack:_Ad_Infinitum

“Totally locked out” unless you do level 100 fractal in under 25 minutes.

Rednik.3809:

faulty raid implementation

Raid implementation is so faulty, so outrages and kills the game yet none of you still explained what is wrong with it.

Blaeys.3102:

Snip

This post is decent and describes some real problems this game has but like 80% of it is not raid related and should be discussed in the general forum.

Ohoni.6057:

what anet can do against the lfg 70+li VG exp zerk PS chronotank groups? n

Make them unnecessary to complete the task

They are unnecessary to complete the task. Your problem was fixed before raid release during the design process.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

My opinion is that Living World Season 1 was great. I wish the Devs had been able to keep it going all these years.

It was amazing. Especially the part when they deleted the whole thing. Losing year worth of story and character development is best design decision they made in years.

Pvp is balanced for 5v5 conquest and not for dueling. All your arguments are invalid.

/thread

Chrono. Fits all characteristics and is actually useful.

And that’s why you don’t listen to streamers. They have no idea what they are talking about.

Woljnir.7810:

Honestly, nobody is going to buy those. CM, possibly, but nowadays with stacking it’s not nearly as hard as it was. AC definitely not. Anybody needing to buy AC needs to /uninstall, it’s quick and not hard at all even with a newbie group.

People buy AC like crazy. Party fills almost instantly. CM is only a bit slower.

Tim.6450:

Now do they want me take hits or not!? I mean all this active combat talk and yet they intoduce tanking gear.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/World_versus_World
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Zone

Even in dungeons zerk was not always meta. For quite some time people were running tanky gear in dungeons. That is before they learned how to play.

hlaraujo.3210:

There is so much in this expansion other than elite specs that is really sad to see you guys talking about how useless this is if it doesnt include elites ????

So far they advertised mounts, biggest deserts ever shipped and elite specs. Out of the 3 selling points elite specs is by far the most important and easiest to completely mess up for at least 6 months after release. Of course people will consider testing them a priority.

Ohoni.6057:

rewards that I do want

Sums up literally all your walls of text. You think that you are entitled to something more than just an access to gw2 servers, having no f2p restrictions and a customers support but you are not.

Now that’s interesting. More ui screenshots, more details about stuff that matters. Not this frogs on shrooms lore.

Alice.5360:

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

Sorin.4310:

Yes I can’t wait to hunt down bubbles with my longbow and ground targeted traps as a dragon hunter….

You think we ever get to fight other dragons than Mordremoth and Zhaitan?
That is a bit optimistic.

We will be going after Mordy for two years at least at this rate.

Or we will get “press 2 to win” in the end of new personal story

I don’t remember them saying that. That “40 actors” stuff is just for the default character voice.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

And, forgive me, who is John Collins? (I must be out of the loop.)

Colin Johanson’s evil twin?

Isn’t it their new goal to shoehorn as much pve in to wvw as possible?
