Guild Wars 2

I’m waiting for the one that gives you a chance at a sprocket every use.

Would be nice to see this going more. A nice change from Frostgorge.

^ And yet, there will always be players who go to a new area and think, “How can I squeeze the most money out of this?”

azizul.8469:

dervish has been absorbed into guardian.

actually few GW1 classes has been absorbed into GW2 classes.

i think guardian = dervish + paragon

Incorrect, not a single dervish skill correlates directly to guardians in anyway, Guardians are more Mo/P than any other combination. Ultimately more monk than anything.

Jayw.1045:

I dunno what the point is can someone tell me?

The point is that they have skins which some people enjoy looking at. If you think a Legendary is pretty enough to be worth all the trouble of getting one, go get one. If you don’t like how they look, don’t get one.

UnitedChaos.8364:

Really? 30 days to craft a set of armor. I’m a pretty active player, but, seriously, 30 days to craft a set of armor. It takes longer to craft a set of celestial armor than it does to craft all the legendary weapons in the game.

If you didn’t know, you need 5 charged crystals per piece of armor.

Celestial armor is dead to me. Sorry, but it is. It is a sad day.

If it makes you feel any better, Celestial armor was dead long before today. It is only marginally useful for two classes, and even for them there are better options. Overall it is the worst armor set in the game, so you aren’t missing anything by skipping it.

I actually agree, I have even stopped opening the “unidentified” dyes, because of this. It’s just too annoying to have a dye for one character but not for others.

I dont know if it’s even possible now with their core code. :/

Okay, firstly, I know this has come up before, but I haven’t seen it in a while and I’m revisiting it. Secondly, and more importantly, I think this would make ANet money. Thirdly, WXP is supposed to be made account bound soon, so this isn’t unprecedented.

I like collecting things, as do many players. If dyes were account bound, then I would collect them, it would have been a goal from the start (it actually WAS a goal from the start, including only using unidentified dyes to do so, until I realised they were character bound). If I was collecting dyes, then I would also invest money in gem store dyes (I’d even enjoy the luck factor, to a degree). In short, while I represent one player, by making dyes character bound, you have stopped me spending money in the gem store.

My solution:

1) Make unlocked dyes account bound.
2) Where an account has more than one of that any specific dye unlocked, mail one (or more if necessary) unused dye to their account. If the mail system can’t cope, introduce an NPC to do the job.
3) If (2) is impossible, then implement (1) anyway, and deal with cases where people owned many of the same expensive dyes individually via tickets, as was done with Flamekissed Armour. I believe a lot more players would be happy with the change than upset, and those that were upset could be appeased relatively easily in most cases.

Results:

1) People start collecting dyes, people buy more dyes with gems.
2) Specific dyes become more sought after, raising prices.
3) People only need one of each, balancing out (2).
4) A new type of activity has been introduced to the game for players with alts (dye collecting), making the game more fun for them.

I am fairly sure around 99% of the player base thinks the dredge fractal is stupid and needs to be changed (speculation here)

I am also fairly sure that we will never see a live stream of the devs playing a 40+ dredge fractal, its because they can’t do it, they would end up spending several hours failing the first console part then probably end the stream, thus, they wont do it.

It’ll probably cost gems and be a consumable. Permanent one extremely rare drop in bl chests.

It would be nice if the ability to save and store various trait and utility templates easily in game so you can quickly switch between them.

Sort of how you could save the skill combinations in GW 1

To “grind” is to play with very little fun or amusement.

Just because it will take “effrort” and “time” to achieve the needed WXP to level to what you desire, in no way, is that a “grind” to do so.

I love WvW. This new system is just another layer of WvW loveliness!

Good job Dev’s!

50% bonus to supplies is awesome, no matter how hard to achieve. What did you expect?

A 30 man zerg with +2 supplies can built e.g. 2 more arrowcarts with it. IMO this is great without being overpowered.

Weapon drop rates weren’t lowered from what I understood of the patch notes. Drop rates were increased, with armor rates increased even more than weapon rates.

Dunno how anyone can claim ANet isn’t giving fractals attention when they released a massive update to it just a couple of months back.

All the more reason never to grind for that garbage
Maybe I will buy a legendary on the tp one day.

^this becomes more hilarious with each update.

Legendary weapons don’t even feel legendary.

You wanna wield a legendary weapon, you have to do more than gather mats, walk around the map and do a couple dungeon runs.

I for one think making a WvW rank 30 minimum is a great idea.

you are aware that the triple wurm event is what is called an open world RAID right ?
as such it is designed with meta builds in mind and made as hard as possible to beat using mentioned meta builds, now imagine trying to beat that kind of content with your idea of fun build? from that perspective I say if you wanna run your cookie have fun build don’t go trying to join a RAID !

IT WORKS AS IT WAS INTENDED TO STIMULATE GEM PURCHASES. Which is fair by me. But yes it still works and it will always work.

I recently started playing GW2 over the last week from a break of over a year, and I do admit I was surprised when I saw that there were still no mounts in this game.

I know that some people will argue that there is no need for mounts when you can port from place to place.

But I think the developers are missing out big time, on a huge potential for profits for themselves. Great new content for the players, and overall a great new incentive that will increase the sales of the game.

I am certain that selling unique mounts for gems would be the #1 best seller in the gem store.

The ideas below are just a few off the top of my head that would make mounts fun & useful for both the player and developer.
-Pay gems to buy the rarest.
-When you ride them for a few seconds have them buff you.
-Make some of them fly. That’s right, make them fly.
-Customize your mounts with Dye, Armor, and a New craft Breeding.
-New Mount related Craftsmanship.
-End Game Achievements to earn them. (Dungeons, Raids or Crafting)
-More incentives for players to keep playing.
-Aesthetically more pleasing to the eye than just running on two legs.

There are a lot more reasons for mounts to be implemented, but those were just a few.

Now hear me out on this, because I haven’t seen this next part done in an MMO before.

Breeding for Mounts

What if having two of one species of mount could unlock a Breeding craft that anyone could take up in addition to their current crafts.

Then with enough time and skill, breeders could create unique mini’s and unique colored mounts they could keep for themselves or sell to other players.

They would use dye and food crafted in cooking to influence the color of their mounts in the breeding craft. Being able to customize mounts with armor, and breeding would would add a unique feature to Guild Wars 2 that would pull in more players.
There are really so many ideas that can be implemented to a system that uses mounts.

I think it’s about time for ArenaNet to consider it.

Hi ArenaNet,

I love the new Cute Quaggan Finisher but I just stomped some people with it and it didnt give me any Watchwork Sprockets.

Is that working as intended?

lordkrall.7241:

It is rather unlikely that the devs are part of the group that high level Fractals are aimed at, and thus this is a rather silly request.

Is it unreasonable, though, to expect developers to be able to win their own game?

Can you guys do it and record so we can learn how to do it after all the fixes?

VOLKON.1290:

Gift of Battle. (Battle not required.)

Sounds like a punch-line waiting to happen.

You don’t say!! <3

So I guess the message is . . . get it while you can?

Could you also please remove the Tier 6 Mat requirements for Gift of Magic and Gift of Might, and the Dungeon Token requirements for Gift of Color etc. and let us buy Precursors off a vendor for karma while you’re at it.

Because I realize in taking this step you want to ensure that achieving a Legendary is easy and not needlessly difficult.
