Guild Wars 2

" the mystic toilet.."

+1

Everyone always kittenes about what they think is wrong with the game, but you see very few comments with positive feedback.

I just wanted to say great job with the new achievement system and the Zenith skins! they’re all awesome!

Hate to be -that guy- and break the chain but I feel that it’s stupid to let someone just have something given to them, maybe I’m old fashioned but I feel if you yourself do not earn the achievement without having someone basically spoon feed it to you, you don’t deserve it. If they wanted everyone to have it then they’d award the achievement after finishing the race.

Hard content is hard. Getting all achievements is worthy of praise. If I wanted “easy mode”, I’d run CoF.

Can I get a team jakob t-shirt, I’m not much of an edward fan

I actually had to Google this post to get the reference. I suppose that shows my age, or my taste in movies.

Blade/Underworld/Van Halsing are better Vampire movies anyway.

Warriors said hi.

If you think Thief will ever be balanced against other classes you’re in for a rude surprise.

Seeing how I might be one of the only thieves to view into the Warrior profession….

/wave
I’m a thief too.

Binary Rain.4869:

Let me try to put this in perspective for your class: would you want to lose all your adrenaline when your F1 ability is blocked?

It should. AND if we miss. Would work much better with cleansing ire AND open more doors for balancing around good, non-sloppy play.

That said you can reapply stealth in 3 seconds. Warriors need quite a bit longer to charge up adrenaline.

Binary Rain.4869:

Shield stance lasts 3 seconds, throwing it up should out last the stealth anyways, so thus no backstab unless they chain stealths.

You are pretty bad at stealthing if you only get 3 seconds out of it…

Ah someone else gets it. We SHOULD lose adrenaline the moment we try to use the burst skill. Cleansing Ire should cleanse right away and we should lose adrenaline regardless of if we connect.

Binary Rain.4869:

I think the main problem here is where is the balance between fair and overkill. At the moment it may not be fair for them not to be penalized, but it would be overkill to give them the revealed buff that often.

Then don’t attack a player when they are blocking.

There is no arguing against the implementation of reveal on block other than “I’m a thief and I like spamming back stab and don’t want to think. I just want to spam.”

Thieves are not penalized AT ALL right now.

Warriors are already penalized, even if someone says they should be penalized more.

You are right: that might be too harsh. You might risk to DIE. Ooooh, that is not supposed to happen.XD

It doesnt reveal because that would mean that theif need to watch what you do or pay attention to your boons (shield stance is shown under the health bar…) and they cant do that beacues that would mean they need l2p.

They can’t l2p. They are too busy telling us to l2p.XD

It doesnt reveal because that would mean that theif need to watch what you do or pay attention to your boons (shield stance is shown under the health bar…) and they cant do that beacues that would mean they need l2p.

On the other hand is just silly that block doesnt reveal and we have blind that can make your shout “Fear Me” miss. Its makes you blind not mute or him deaf.

This one caused mass complaints when it was introduced, but I really enjoyed it.
I heard that there were problems with it and that it might be bugged, but I never had a problem with it.
A friend and I loved experimenting to see what triggered it, and it taught us some interesting things about our professions and how they play together.

This achievement, more than any other, promotes teamwork and coordination.

So go on, bring it back.
It may get people playing together more.

1) Fix OBSTRUCTED bug.
2) Remove range penalty on damage
3) Increase projectile speed
4) Increase damage gained per point of power
5) Make its arrow pierce and bounce

I’m a bit tired of thieves using the “learn to play” argument when you complain about their undetectable 8k damage back stabs. They tell us “well, you should block it or dodge roll when you expect to get hit!” only to actually block it but get hit anyways because they can just spam number 1 on your shield until it goes down.

Blocking an attack from an invisible thief, mesmer, or any other class needs to reveal the attacker. I’m not sure why this isn’t like this to begin with.

/end rant

So I wanted to suggest this, mainly to give everyone a long term goal to work towards and to promote people to do all types of achievements (play more, adventure around more, do more that they normally wouldn’t cause there isn’t any incentive too if you don’t want to get a high rank on the achievement leaderboard).

I was thinking, on an average month we earn…
14×30 – 420 points from daily/spvp daily
110 points from monthly/spvp monthly
400ish points roughly from living story content
__________
Around 900 achievement points per month playing and doing ‘everything’. With that number present, I was thinking every 15,000 achievement points you can get Account Bound precursor item of your choice.

Doing this wouldn’t effect the precursor market much in my opinion as they cant be sold and they would take roughly 1 year for a hardcore player to obtain and 2 years for a casual player to obtain so these items would merely be “bonus rewards” and nothing more than that for your dedication to playing. Obviously most people wouldn’t wait and would still buy a precursor. These bonus rewards would also help eat up materials from the game (tier 6 mats, ecto etc.)

I figured this was a great suggestion, not only would it give every player something to look forward too, it would give more incentive to doing all achievements and playing everywhere rather than just a few places.

Of course this is all speculation, numbers could be adjusted, I just wouldn’t want them to be too common but just a bonus reward for playing so long.

~Osi

Suggestion 2 tie in: I heard of a scavenger hunt for precursors many months ago, could allow this scavenger hunt to be unlocked every 15,000 achievement points to allow people to do a mini adventure to get it.

Maybe they’ll put Tengu as a playable race much later.

I would love to play as Toucan Sam.

You really are that dense aren’t you? That group did come from the spawn point. Shortly after I respawned from my one death, my friend and I picked off a few random SBI and CD. At that point that group that initially killed me ended up at the spawn. The mesmer’s pulled us down and it ended up with you guys killing my friend and me getting away. This fight happened down the first set of stairs from the spawn. At which point, I killed a few randoms that managed to separate themselves looking for me while that large group sat and waited for a port. That’s where the SS came in.

By the way, I only roamed around the dome area because my friend got pulled off the edge by temporal curtain near the fire trap at the end. I jumped down to assist. With how many of you there were running around, making it back to the traps would have been a waste of time. I am really glad that you called your guardian hopeless though. I couldn’t help but think the same thing as I rez’d the necro I was originally with twice under his feet.

What I don’t understand is how you automatically attribute me using stealth as running. I don’t write in a diary each time I use SR and why, but like I said before, I only use it when I need it so it was more than likely to allow me to reset myself. It doesn’t matter though, really. At some point you probably died to me, and based on who seemed the most adamant on killing me I’d place my bets on you being that kittenty ranger. Could be wrong though.

And who is this Jakob guy that is so famous? I haven’t heard of him on the forums, in game, or anywhere for that matter and I played your server for over a month straight and roamed everyday. So famous he has to be proclaimed by some other nobody from a nobody server. Jakob that one famous “Crystal Desert Invader.”

Still awful.

Sooo… Your story went from you fighting 6 people, and then 10 people, to now you admiting to just picking off strays. Ouch, the truth hurts.

And, sorry to burst your bubble, I’m not the ranger. Meaning you SR and ran away from some other random ranger as well?

I don’t blame them. Anet probably has the stats to show that Fire-themed equipment is popular enough to make more of it.

GW2 does have other themed gear, but hardly anyone talks about them.

Frost – Corrupted, Kodan
Lightning – Mystic
Undead – Arah, Ascalonian
Sea – Orrian
Nature – Verdant
Steampunk – Steam, SkyPirate, Dredge

Personally I’d prefer more Armor-themed armor…

I didn’t realize there were that many fire things, but to be fair I do love my fire sword.

Fire sword and a plant shield, I like to think that I’m constantly on the verge of burning my own shield.

SuperSpicyCurry.2415:

I just think fire+black stuff = a 12 year old’s idea of cool.

Then there must be a LOT of 12 year old kids playing this game, because half the people I see are wearing CoF armor with Abyss Dye.

I’m Jakob. And I’m kind of a big deal around here.

That screenshot validates infinitely more of what I said that any of your terrible attempts to save face. You just admitted to not even being apart of that group in the screenshot making it at least 9 from your guild alone, not 3 as mentioned earlier. I must be lying though.

Also, I never refuge unless I absolutely have to. So I was more than likely low on initiative or needed that stealth to regen from something. The majority of the refuge’s were trying to res the necro I was originally with for the first 40 minutes or so. Don’t get me confused either with the other thief that joined me for the last hour or so after my necro friend left. I 1v1ed or 1vXed every person in there from that GS ranger, all the mesmers, the guardians, and the warriors.

Your efforts to defend yourself and your guild are as a terrible as the performance in the puzzle. You have nothing more than LOLYOUREFUGEDASATHIEF. Terrible.

I was not with the 9 below, because I was at the top watching. And that screenshot you have, merely shows 9 people infront of you, I don’t see any dead bodies, and if you killed so many, wouldn’t we have came at you at the spawn? I know what I saw, and you know what you did, just a thief running around from the dome area, to the spawn point. Paint a beautiful picture of yourself all you want, it only makes you look silly. Btw, I main a thief, I really LMAO when you used the SR in the middle of no where and ran away from a hopeless guardian.

Oh well, like I said, if it makes you feel good doing up a story, good for ya

Hey, Jakob, this guy can take on 10 of us, if you looking for a challenge, this is one for you

Hi. You sound really angry.

Rejoice SBI. Borlis Pass just Waypointed and Tier 3 Walled Yak’s Bends hills. Now another server can experience your pain.

Little Man Syndrome

A popular term for the inferiority complex that often occurs in men with self-perceived shortcomings (height, income, physical appearance), which causes them to overcompensate by attempting to belittle and offend others in order to make themselves feel superior.

All of the CD currently in the jumping puzzle are quite possibly the worst players I’ve ever seen. 3 hours, a 6v1, and a 10v2 and you finally manged to kill me.

Well, at any one point there was only like 3 people on you, and you didnt even try to engage them, ran so far so fast. I’m sure our famous roamer Jakob would have been more aggressive. Funny how when it comes to the forum, suddenly 3 people will become 10. Well, anything that makes you happy, good for ya.

I posted a screenshot of 9 people, 8 of which were from your guild. The only reason that screenshot didn’t contain 10 is because not everybody made it there for the port. They were killed.

I also never ran from any fight. Evaded a bit? Sure. However, there were multiple instances where I got knocked off of some of the cliff edges and didnt die because of the reduced fall damage trait. It more than likely appeared that I was running somewhere because when I became visible again I had some ground to make up before I could engage.

And insulting a thief for “running” just shows me you clearly have no understanding of the thief class and are reaching for responses. The entire class was formulated to hit/run. Good players know when to disengage and know when the odds are too much. Based on the 40 or so kills/downs I got in that 3 hour time period compared to my 1 death, I would say I did that pretty well.

Yea right, you sure made pretty story with a screen shot. I was at the top watching people chasing you for a while, and all you did was run and run.

And as for insulting a thief? I came for you alone once and you used SR when I haven’t even touched you yet. I stood there all alone for a while, with nobody near, waiting for a backstab to come, but it never came, wonder why… After that, I got bored and just went off.

Not quite sure why CD used this strategy, but hey….

OMG YOU KILLED BABY QUAGGANS YOU MONSTERS!!!!!!!!

Sounds like the problem is with the tiny races. Not Norn and charr in all our granduer.
