Guild Wars 2

Serbianwolf.1652:

this amount of negative posts is proof that this “joke” was out of order at the first place. Its very stupid move by ANET.

The only thing this amount of negative posts is proof of is that several people are too sensitive and one has to wonder how they survive out in the real world. Whether or not the prank was out of order or not is a matter of opinion, not absolute fact.

yeah, that always annoyed me… i understand why they went for it, but we should at least get the choice of whether we want it on or not

…and to think i got on the forums to say that my resource nodes had vanished… i even went up the stairs and around looking for them, not realising they were placed all the way to the back.

what bothers me most about their placement is how it makes no kitten sense at all. the only “node” i can think of that is placed in a logical location is the krait obelisk in the sylvari home instance (and maybe in the asura one)

They will be completed automatically. At least last time I checked.

that’s not the only case where NPCs forget you… remember the two Sylvari chicks from the mirror storyline? nope, you never helped them, it was all big marshal T, you never went to Orr with them while Trahearne was sitting on his kitten next to the Pale Tree

not to mention all the NPCs in various spots that forget your Race or even which Faction you joined… every time my main sees a Priori explorer, he wonders if they finally got the memo about him joining

if you take the game’s mechanics into consideration, it’s fairly easy to have the personal story in linear progression and the various map areas existing in the same time frame (not the case for some of the events happening in them, but that’s what you have to account for with rp)

Risen attacking Morgan’s Spiral in Caledon Forest even though your character just came back from slaying Zhaitan? big deal… they are remnants of his army that lash out at the nearest living creatures

and so on and so forth…

edit: on the other hand, contradicting established lore is a whole different issue and a good reason for me to ignore you in rp if you do it consciously.

ignoring recurring events = ignoring game mechanics, not ignoring lore
ignoring lore details = not playing in the same universe as other people

yes please… i often had to choose between a useful rune and a piece of armour i wanted to keep. an extractor would really help and would be well worth the extra space it’d take in the bag

having your alts aiding you when there’s nobody else available would be awesome

or they could just change the current system to cost a charge only when first using a skin on a specific item and have all subsequent uses of the skin -on that item- free of charge

since sylvari can even grow their “clothes” shedding them when no longer wanted, i believe it is entirely possible for a sylvari to do the same with their hair

…i don’t get it. does it even make sense for autorun NOT to be a toggle?

I remember reading the current limit is 48 slots per account, which is enough to have one per race per profession. still, I’d rather have HoT come with 1 or 2 free slots

I second that, would be nice to change the guild’s name without losing all the upgrades

since it is going to be abused though, perhaps the old name should be visible as well for a period of time after the change?

such an option for elementalists and engineers would be welcome, yes. as long as it only works when out of combat.

to those that’ll say it still gives them an unfair advantage, if someone has to go out of combat to switch weapons, the time needed is not all that shorter than manually equipping it. this is a QoL change

on topic: i got the feeling they are lovers too. if they’re not, kasmeer most likely wants them to be

off topic: i don’t think one can put a sexuality label on sylvari, at least not in the way it would work for a rl human

Have to admit I am not thrilled about the name either. I don’t have any good suggestions (that haven’t been given already) but a more unique/smooth/pleasant name that fits the same theme would be welcome (and I go by the assumption this specialisation is the result of a guardian learning a few tricks from a ranger. specifically, Braham from Eir).

poor Tybalt indeed…

if the LS is supposed to be after the PS, i cannot fathom why on earth they decided to use the current map of LA for all the PS quests set it in… it makes no sense at all

as a programmer, i can honestly say that claiming that they can’t fix this only proves one of two things:

1. they’re lying and are too lazy to make the changes necessary (and no idea why they were not in to begin with)
2. they suck even more than i do at designing/programming, in which case they should have never been hired by anet

not trying to be rude or insulting, but sometimes the facts speak for themselves

i like the mechanic. the implementation could be improved, but i enjoyed it thoroughly when i impaled toxic guard #234 with a scarecrow finisher

and as a bonus, i got the halloween stomp achievement too!

a real lost opportunity there… rather disappointing

Ricky Da Man.5064:

I am with OP.

It is not that Anet have got in the april fools spirit that is the issue here.

Its the type of prank and its timing, highly unsensitive.

Sometimes there is a funny film due to be shown on the tv one week, but something tragic happens in real life that relates to the film in some way, the film gets rescheduled..

The joke is really poorly timed..

…please tell me people that link the prank to the plane crashes are trolling. I may have to look for another game if GW2 gets infested with oversensitive SJWs.

On topic now, a “Turn Off” button would be nice, but unless it was only activated after a certain duration already in game, it would be contrary to the spirit of the day. Even that, only because some people have limited time for the game.

And since we’re comparing credentials here… I’m a roleplayer.

spreads arms and flies away, making plane sounds

Yes please… now if they added that for skins that you bought from the gemstone as well… might even make me buy more of those.

Some would argue that the fact people still fiddle with GW1’s GUI means it was inadequate to begin with. In principle, whether it is a website, an application, a whole desktop environment or a game, as is the case here, the GUI must be “invisible” as an entity on its own, just there to provide specific functionality. Also, usually less is more, the more minimal the GUI is, the better it does what it should.

With that in mind, yes… I would very much like to change the GUI around. I went from a 1920×1200 to a 1680×1050 (and soon to 2x that) screen and the way the GUI was (even at small) just doesn’t work that well for the new setup.

17 characters (not toons, please)
2* lvl80s
1* 100% map completion

mostly a matter of time why i don’t have more

• one char was deleted and remade, then explored fully for the second time

Smooth Penguin, some people don’t have the time needed to go over each obelisk again. if there was a checklist in the achievement description, it would save us all a lot of trouble, even if the location of each obelisk was revealed -after- you had transcribed it

I’ll have to side with Aaron on this. a generation does not equal a lifespan, so saying that they’ve been there for generations easily fits within the timeframe of 250 years or slightly less.

I had long hair for almost 17 years so believe me when I say I always try to give at least one character proper long hair, in whatever game I play.

…but then you went along and chose the single example that is most likely to turn them off the idea forever :P

(also, i think there is a similar hairstyle in the hair kits)

8/10 for a solid name, Setun, here are mine:

Freyr Frostmane – Elementalist
Brokk Valdisson – Engineer
Agni Stormhammer – Guardian
Loki Ravenclaw – Mesmer
Runi Boneseer – Necromancer
Erik Longfang – Ranger
Tyr Shadowbane – Thief
Einnarr Stenson – Warrior

Since launch, my guildies and I have been using builds specifically meant to function as the roles of the “traditional” trinity (dps, tank, heal) and GW2’s version of it (damage, control, support).

The strength of GW2 was always the fact we were not locked into those by profession. Sure, some professions are better at some roles, but almost every profession can fulfill any role of either trinity.

Both in GW1 and GW2 half the fun was experimenting with different builds and see what they can do.

The claims are true, as is the fact there are already threads on the issue.

The short answer is: highly unlikely and for good reasons.

The demand in both coarse sand and flax for the guild hall upgrades is too kitten high. And that’s even for a full guild harvesting either.

let’s see, i have chars in all orders, so… let’s give this a go:

Durmand Priori: explorers, archaeologists, scholars… your run of the mill bookworms, with a few mad scientists and indiana jones/lara croft types tossed in for good measure. generally willing to unearth old knowledge despite the risks, generally the ones coming up with new ideas. if memory serves, they were founded by Durmand, a human, between GW1 and GW2

Order of Whispers: spymasters, keepers of ancient secrets, hidden defenders of the world, puppet masters. the oldest of the orders and the one most versed in politics and the “everyday” world of Tyria (not just the continent). Founded a long long time ago, on Elona, by humans, in order to hold back the forces of darkness

The Vigil: with as many tacticians and paladins as they have brutes and cannon fodder, they are an army that might even rival one of the charr legions in might (i’m sure others will correct my assumption if incorrect). they generally prefer the direct approach and the only order to be founded by a Charr, after her warband was Branded by Glint’s former boss

As others said, guardians and warriors already cover that niche. I still think it’d be better if engineers were heavy and we got a new medium armour profession instead
