Guild Wars 2

Levelling in PvE the way ArenaNet intended is fun for me.

Too funny, Ashen.

I sort of stumbled a little with one of my characters. I thought a good name for her (a Norn) would be Cold as Charity so I called her Charity Coldas. When I later rejoined my guildies they were all amused and asked about her cold bottom. I honestly didn’t see it when I named her. I am Australian and we don’t use that word for bottoms – well we do but it is spelt differently and pronounced with a long A. I have always hoped I don’t offend any sensitive soul who might see it and think I meant it differently.

You could just tell them that the other ‘s’ is lost somewhere in Oceana ping times. :P

Often by losing hours upon hours in a Sindarin dictionary.

ermm…

gw2 and wow aren’t exactly traditional mmorpg

Lol more kids insecure about their sexuality/masculinity that have it programmed into their head by society that pink and/or butterflies are “feminine” and that associating yourself with either of these somehow makes you less “manly”
Classic, pretty much this exact thread pops up every few months

Well, in the Glider Suggestions thread there was a lot of support for a bubble glider (maybe more for a soap bubble ala Glinda the Good than a water bubble, but still). I don’t recall anyone saying it was a bad or unrealistic idea when it was proposed there.

Coddler’s Cove

I will try to be polite….No.
you are choosing to have multiple characters, if you dislike doing more than one story, then either delete 14 characters, or suck it up buttercup. There is a point to having individual stories. you made your bed.

Filter what out? The people in a jumping puzzle? What are you doing in there, standing in the jumping puzzle and barking out instructions that they are ignoring?

Rofl. That wins the “mental image of the day” prize for me.

“You! Yes, You boy! Learn to jump better or get out of my game.”

Top.

Any character. Not all characters.

Nice to see a long requested item back for sale.
Feeling sorry for anyone whose self worth is tied up in a gem store purchase from 3 years ago.
#Itsonlyagame #Seekhelp #FindsumBunnytolovemaybetheywillloveyouback

Read closely. I’m not only thinking about one item. I’m just guessing that they might as well re-release the fused weapon skins. Or re-implement other stuff that has been exclusive before(Season 1 minis, karka-hatchlings…)
Not exactly what I’d like to see, but if(!) the majority wants it that way then there is nothing one can do about it.

My personal opinion on this is, that rare and exclusive items are really important for a good game. The gw2 celebration hat for example is quite rare to see in cities. (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Celebration_Hat)
Its cool to see a character wearing it once in a while, but it would be certainly less special if you’d find atleast one infront of a bank everytime you visit a city.
Or finding a hardcore charr with metalplates, spikes – and pink bunny ears.
They will be now more common and just take a look at the gemprices…

But hey, thats just my opinion on it. If the majority of the community wants certain items back I can’t blame arenanet for their decisions.
I hope you understand my point of view,
happy easter.

rare/exclusive: The only reason bunny ears and the sunglasses were ever “rare” and “exclusive” is that they were only ever previously sold as town clothes. Most people didn’t use town clothes at all, so they didn’t buy town clothes skins.

“support from the start”: See first point. I’ve been around since launch as well, and have dumped… probably a few hundred dollars on gems for a handful of skins and some convenience items, a lot of which was when the ears/aviators/sport sunglasses were still in the gem store (bag/bank slots). I would have bought the ears and both sunglasses in a heartbeat (and did today with the ears) if they were helmet skins instead of town clothes (which I never used). The only thing that realistically shows you were around to support the game at the start is the baseball cap. The other items only show that you used town clothes enough to buy some at ~200 gems a pop at some point in the first 16 months the game was around (which isn’t really even still the start).

Immersion: Please. There’s been a bow that shoots unicorns, a disco ball mace, etc. since launch, feathery wings everywhere, people turning into various creatures at random (tonics)… “immersion” is loooooong gone. A set of bunny ears or a pair of sunglasses is barely noticeable compared to most of the stuff that goes on on a regular basis.

Honestly the ears don’t fit any of my characters’ current looks, but I bought them anyway in case I want to use them in the future (and in the hopes that high sales on these will convince them to actually bring back the sunglasses too if they’re still on the fence, since those do fit both of my mains)

Ever wondered where all the NPCs in this game who buy your junk items get the money from?

I wonder what they do with all the junk.

Someone somewhere must be building some kind of gigantic war machine out of broken lockpicks, cogs and spikes.

How do you think the steamcreatures came into being?

You could have titled this thread “Mounts” instead so people wouldn’t have been confused into thinking it had to do with something else.

In regards to your title, they ARE anatomically correct. Apparently their anatomy is not what you would like. Human female breasts are actually an unusual trait in the animal kingdom.

hi
i have been playing this game since beta and i did not get any precursor is that part of the game design or is it because you want us to buy it always coz i feel realy lost !

RNG isn’t tied on time, it is tied on tries. So if you play a lot in short time you have better changes than playing very little over long time.

Honestly, the NPE wasn’t that bad, till you hit level 16. That’s when I found out the best way to earn gold is to spec into a profession.

The problem is, each one requires “profession xp”, and the lowest paying professions are the only ones requiring 0 profession xp. You can level up in this profession, and get better titles, which increases your gold income, but its in a PvEvP environment. You aren’t in DIRECT competition with other players, but its competition for that title.

But it gets worse. Some professions require some kind of paper you have to grind for. AND IT COSTS TONS OF GOLD TO GET. I mean, holy crap I heard of gold sinks, but this? THIS WAS REDICULOUS!

And worse, WORSE of all is the balance on getting a new profession.

Ok, you ready? You ready for how much sense this makes?

You grind for hours a day getting gold at the crappy professions.
You spend all that gold you earned on some crappy one time paper to get into a new profession.
THE OTHER REQUIREMENT IS A REQUIRED AMOUNT OF PROFESSION XP IN THAT PROFESSION!

In other words, you can’t even start at level 1 of the profession unless you already have xp as it! How?! How do you get profession xp in something you are trying to be? What were the devs thinking in this design? You need profession xp in order to apply for a profession you’ve never done before!

In other words, you dumped all that gold for nothing!

Titles are not pointless! >:(

I like to think of them more as flavour text for your character, no matter how easy/hard/expensive they were to obtain. For example, I may be rank 80, but my Necro still uses the Reaper title, my Revenant Mist Walker and my Guardian Avenger. So I like that there’s a reasonable amount of titles to obtain.
I think the only ones worth a bit of recognition for sticking to a goal and pushing are the Champion X titles. Shame the rank titles are so easily farmed now in custom, removing the effort for them. They now mean a lot less than what they should, this coming from someone who has never rank farmed for these titles.

Maybe instead of laughing at people for not being as leet as you, you could try the magical art of standing next to a downed person and pressing F…

You’ve been playing for 8 months and still don’t know how to help downed people? No offence but how is that even possible?

The customer is always angry when something small goes wrong.

The programmer is always angry when the customer doesn’t realize that their computer isn’t on fire thanks to them.

If 80% of your fun came from 1 rare drop that was only worth 3g at it’s max, then maybe it’s time to move to another aspect of the game.

Rather than invading the PvE zones (because they would no longer be PvE) I think what would be better is if we have some separate set of zones where home servers can invade each other.

Give them things like maybe, towers, castles and camps, and some sort of way of trying to keep these castles and towers and camps with weapons like catapults and arrow carts. Oh wait.. we have that!

Gotta jump on board of that Heroes of the Storm cash grab.

First it was every mmo copying WoW. Now it’s every moba copying the successful ones.

RIP online gaming.

Where have you been for the last 10 years? 90% of games only get sails because of the Hype trains. Have a look at how many games you’ve bought in the last ten years, and then think about how different they are to what was said/shown, and if you got them based on the Hype surrounding them. Most game I buy are when Steam has a sail, I buy very few before that.

I can list every game I’ve preordered in my Gaming life.
Guild Wars Prophecies
Guild Wars Nightfall
Guild Wars Eye of The North
Mass Effect 3
Aliens Colonial Marines

That’s it, and only one of them I got because of the “Hype” around it, and it was the biggest let down. I enjoyed the game for what it was, but I’ll never buy a game made by gearbox again.

Please. Tell me more about these ‘sails.’

Out of my post you want to pick that out while I was editing my mistake. Way to go there.
