Guild Wars 2

They’re “faster” to get than the normal skins. Not easier. You still need to be able to beat TM to begin with, which is not a small feat (at least not in the first place, though you may have mastered it at this point). All you need to do for the regular skins is beat some stages in Normal mode and farm some bauble, or get lucky with drops. Time consuming, but not exceedingly difficult. Or just buy them from the TP alternatively, something that doesn’t apply to TM weapons at all.

I don’t really see the harm in the TM weapons being quick to get once you get good with TM either. The individuals that can quickly beat TM may have dozens of TM skins, sure. It doesn’t mean that every individual suddenly has access to them and they’re meaningless, it just means those who can do TM well can have access to a number of the weapons. And those who struggle through TM probably won’t bother to get multiple skins either, its only the ones who get really good at it.

Besides, the alternatives are much worse. You could make them RNG to make them more time-consuming to get, but that would only serve to kitten people off I think, having to force their way through multiple times just to get a chance at a weapon and possibly still not getting one. You could require multiples of the “parts” (like, maybe, 3 of each) and at least it wouldn’t be luck-based, but I imagine plenty of people still wouldn’t appreciate being forced through multiple times, especially if they struggled the first time. You could make them require Bauble Bubbles like the normal skins do, but by doing that you’re preventing people who want the TM skins from working towards the normal rewards because they need to spend their Bubbles on the TM skins and so can’t save for the normal skins / mini (and it would also be bad for people who need to spend their Bubbles on continue coins just to beat TM and aren’t saving many anyway).

I agree completely. I was so disappointed to find out that they were not going to do expansions. I don’t care how many times they claim they still can, they aren’t doing ANYTHING that is expansion worthy, and there is nothing on the horizon as far as players know since they wont tell us anything other than “oh yea uhh…we are working on big stuff sure…”

I was extremely optimistic about this living world nonsense when I first heard about it back in may. I stopped playing guild wars 3 months after launch mostly due to not having any friends of mine playing it any more. However a couple buddies of mine decided it would be a good time to give the game another go due to the thought they were going to “churn out a lot of new content” due to the expansion of there living world teams. My first thought was wow that could be really awesome think of the things they brought to us when the game first came out south sun and 2 rather fun festivals loaded with cool stuff.

Here where the problem is. Nothing they have come out with is permanent. We haven’t seen a new zone, a zone getting reworked, anything at all. In fact we were told around june time that the content was going to be more permanent due to a larger living story team. But we still haven’t (excluding the cometic rework of the great collapse).

Looking back it makes me wonder, I bet anything south sun, winters day, and the mad king event were all completed pre launch. Just look at the evidence, have we seen anything near that large since december? Not even close! SAB is the only exception but its not hard to churn out an 8bit world.

Another thing the living world was suppose to do was evolve the world. Things were suppose to change the world “forever”. A good example would be the karka attack on lions arch destroying the tower or the mad king blowing up the lions arch statue in order to get into lions arch. Well once again haven’t seen any of that since december. And whats the kicker to that? The lions statue is back!??! out of thin air? why? so we can recycle the mad king event for this year. Its a complete joke! I remember the interview with colin johanson talking about players being able to say thing like “I remember the lion statue that used to be in lions arch”. Guess they were to lazy to stick to that.

The point is, the living world system NEEDS to get scraped and just do expansion they can’t keep up and all there doing is hyping the kitten out of content to keep people interested. Our next “big” update is a “rework” of tequatl that just makes him a bit harder and adds a couple steps, and aLFG tool that should have been in the game pre launch. This is such a joke, anyone with a brain should realize this. Guild wars 1 expansion every 6 months was way better due to people getting all these features and more (new zones, story, skills, professions).

I can’t be the only one who thinks this living world system is all a gimic.

The pavillion will be used again in the future, like SAB. I just banked my tickets for next time.

It probably gonna be the hardest platformed ever made for western market…..

There are STILL bugs that when getting attacked or certain skills/passives are active that I will get ruined chunks of ore and logs even though I’m using the highest level pick.

My friend (Guardian) and I (Mesmer) were running through the CS area for map competition and on multiple occasions we both ran across this bug completely ruining harvesting. The worst was when this bug happened while harvesting Ori or Ancient Logs.

Please fix this bug. Thanks!

The mesmer trait Deceptive Evasion is supposed to create a clone at the end of your dodge roll. This functions, however the clone has the incorrect target – often targeting the closes enemy instead of your actual target.

This is extremely frustrating. For example in wvw, you may dodge an attack from another player and summon a clone, but that clone instead starts attacking a nearby mob. This means not only do you have a wasted clone up, that mob is now aggrod – due to a bug – and means you have more to deal with. Also it messes up shatters as you will be hitting the wrong target.

This is essential to resolve for mesmers in wvw/pve. Please ensure the clone summoned correctly targets your current target on dodge. Thank you.

Mesmer phantasms are supposed to continually attack the target they are summoned on and not change target, however they constantly change target. This happens a lot against thieves in wvw – which is extremely frustrating when you are fighting a thief, they stealth then the phantasm starts attacking the nearby drake instead.

I do know what what triggers the change, some times they remain on target even after a long stealth, other times they change immediately. This makes managing phantasms difficult.

I have noticed this also occur when fighting mobs in pve/wvw.

Thank you.

I was doing a search on Guardian Charr and for some reason it found no matches. I know there are some threads out there that contain this.

Ayrilana.1396:

You don’t need the wallet. As long as you enter SAB with all of your baubles, you can use them all. For example, if I were to enter SAB with 5 stacks of baubles, it would show a max of 999 on the UI but I can continue to make purchases. The only thing is that I cannot gain baubles above the bag capacity.

Hmm, didn’t know that… I never tried it as I don’t like to waste baubles :P

And are there dig sites in world 2?

That would be like Liadri and Giganticus Lupicus having a kid who goes on to give Hitler public relations lessons.

Just... no. There’s evil, and then there’s EVIL.

Rule 63.

Nuff said.

I think he’s annoyed at the bugged checkpoint in his picture. Having done this trib mode level for the first time tonight and encountering the same thing, yeah it’s really heartbreaking. Finally getting there then dying afterwards and getting sent back to the previous checkpoint you just spend 20 min finishing. Not to mention that checkpoint before the trampolines has you ressing and insta dieing because the res point is ontop of spikes…..

Very surprised these issues haven’t been fixed since GW2 has been patched 5 or so times since SAB came back.

Agreed with everything mentioned. The volume of the Boombox to the owner carrying it is about 1/3 compared to the flute, horn or bell. And on top of that the radius is near non-existent for anyone passing by. You have to be practically on top of the person with the boombox to hear it, and even then, its only 1/3 of what the owner hears. Barely audible at all.

I would bet on red weapons for trib mode, and underwater weapons for baubles. But armor would definitely be nice.

we need ascended food that can swap stats too.

As an owner of two legendaries, I fully support this idea. It would encourage farming through the reward of obtaining any build at any moment: diversity. Furthermore, I’d accept to pay a small fee for changing those stats, like we can do now with traits.

Something like this will be enough for me for not leaving this game when I finishes SAB TM.

I’m a legendary owner, and I completely support this.

As stated above, legendary weapons were meant to be aesthetic only. The swappable-stat feature currently on them is great, but I don’t see why it should be a legendary exclusive, it was merely an attempt to fix the transmuting legendaries problem.

At least anet could do this for sigils. If weapons had 3 or so sigil slots, and you could choose which one is active at a time, it would save those who use multiple sigils and weapon types a huge headache, especially for people who have multiple characters. Having to make 3 ascended weapons of the same type to accommodate different sigils is extremely user UN-friendly…

Hire this guy. This guy gets it …. that is amazing.

That looks amazing, and I approve entirely!!!

Edit: to expand on your idea, I have attached a photoshopped version that could be used as the “night time” eternity, maybe?

Amazing. If eternity turned into this it would certainly remind people of the fact that it actually is a legendary

+1 as well, anything that takes weeks/months/years to complete needs to be an account achievement, not a character achievement.

I will +1 this suggestion whenever I see it. Legendary weapons should be account bound, not soul bound.

Watch the 19:05 mark of this video by MattVisual:
Guild Wars 2: Colin Johanson PAX 2013 Interview w/ Your Questions!

Like Colin said, it takes ages to make a legendary weapon, not to mention it’s very expensive. Precursors are extremely rare, and even if they are becoming (most likely, according Colin in the same video from the link above) craftable, we can all assume it still won’t be easy to make them. Gifts of Exploration are limited to two per character that achieves world completion, so you would have to create a new character and use its own gifts if you want more than two legendary weapons for your original character (or pay thousands of gold buying one from the trading post). World completion itself can be a long and tedious process.

While it seems the question wasn’t exactly about what I’m referring to in this topic, it made me think of how it would be much more convenient if, for example, you could have your same currently soulbound Eternity from your Warrior be used by your Guardian.

Now, this may invalidate the effort that some players have already put into making extra legendary weapons of the same type. To counter that, they could be given options to unbind them once, or even dismantle the weapons into their original, base ingredients.

What are your thoughts?

EDIT: I believe that making legendary weapons accessible to your whole account will also increase the value of this hard-to-earn weapon class, being the only one to provide said feature.

I can verify that invisibility does not work, but going around the back of the shop does. Ran both just in the past 10 minutes

So after many (9) hours i finally reached world 3. Since I doubt few people would record gameplay just to pause it to translate it, here is an approximate translation (Some of words seem to be partially spelled, so i extrapolated what they were not sure if this was intended for some reason)

I’m the genie of the box
you’ve beaten many dangers, you
should be rewarded

Moto wont tell you this
but there’s a secret way to win
the super adventure

find the hidden code on the
rock. with the code seek out
the secret entrance

you can find the lab near
research waypoint. in the depths
of Rata Sum.

you must defeat the true enemy’s
machine.

destroy the true enemy’s machine and you will win.
go forward. [(be the wi) not sure what the rest of the word since it seemed to only end with two letters, i’m think its winner but unsure]
