Guild Wars 2

The Talcmaster.7391:

The CMY color model doesn’t get enough love. I say we make the 3 teams Cyan, Yellow, and Magenta. It would be consistent, and probably easier for everyone to differentiate

Sounds like the most logical three colors to use.

You guys are hilarious. I am surprised there isn’t an option to choose the colours but its hardly blinding, maybe you guys just need to turn your monitor’s brightness down.

I would like to see active commanders (the ones with their tags up) have a different chat color in WvW.

CattivoUomo.7198:

OMG you people are lazy. Firstly, just use the luck as you get it, and maybe just leave 1 as your placeholder for the next few that you get. Now if you want to talk about removing something really annoying, how about the purchase confirmation for some vendors where you can only buy 1 item at a time. “Are you sure you want to buy this?” Yes “Are you sure you want to buy this?” Yes “Are you sure you want to buy this?” Yes…OMG YES FOR CRYING OUT LOUD I NEED TO BUY 100 OF THESE!
t(>.<)t

At least with the luck it’s just a bunch of clicks without confirmation and as stated in another response you can take a bunch all at once to craft into higher amount lucks to reduce your clicking. Sorry if you have to take just a little time to travel to do that, but it’s the price for the convenience.

1) Not everyone is an artificer.
2) The open all feature suggested is intended to be a time saver.
3) It’s not just about essence of luck, it’s about all the bags/consumables. When I reach 1.5 million in karma, which is pretty regularly, I go and buy 500k worth of orrian jewlery boxes, open them all, drink all the karma, and spend back down to 1 million. Wash, rinse, repeat, until I only have 1 mil left. That’s a LOT of clicking and its time consuming.

Running champ train, Scarlett’s minions, WvW, Mad King’s labyrinth, and many other activities are all very fast paced. It is easy to accumulate large stacks of bags/consumables (like scrolls of knowledge) that need to be opened one at a time.

My question to you is, if this was implemented, would it harm your game play? My guess is no, you could still use what ever method you prefer. Would it enhance the game experience for others? Yes.

Options are good. People like options. Options make for happy players. Happy players play more, spend money, and recommend the game to others creating a sense of hype. Win win for players and ArenaNet.

I love the collectibles bank tab however there are a few little changes I feel would make the regular bank tab so much better. Today I found i had the need to re-organize my bank, all 7 tabs of it. Without the ability to drag and drop tabs above/below each other I was forced to close tabs I was not using and try and remember which closed tabs have what in them. I found myself wishing that I could not only drag/drop tabs above and below each other but also wondering why I cannot name them. I would love to see the ability to stick a name on the same line as the arrow that opens/closes each tab. I would also like to see the ability to deposit gold returned. I can no longer hide my money from myself so I am spending it all. Also I have a number of items in the bank that say “soulbound to another character” but I dont know which one. things like wxp boosters and usable items. I would love to see it say “Soulbound to [name]” These small changes would, in my opinion, make a very large impact on the usability of the bank and encourage players buy more tabs for organization.

-nameable tabs
-drag/drop tabs to change order
-ability to deposit gold again
-say which character an item is soulbound to

I have a section of the bank for each of my 8 characters. I’ve had to use an “identifying” object in the first spot of each section to know who it belongs to. (A wand for my Elementalist, a Mask for my Mesmer, a Loot Bag for my Thief, etc.) It would be SO much nicer to be able to name the sections!

This happens all the time, people feel entitled to a legendary/world completion without doing what’s required to get it.

Are you forced to get world completion? No.
Are you forced to get a legendary? No.
Are both of these required to exclusively PvE? Not at all.
Do you want them? Probably, else you wouldn’t be here complaining about it. If you want something then go do the things required to get it. If you don’t want to do those things then you forfeit the right to get it. It’s pretty simple. These things are supposed to be hard to get!

I don’t like WvW (read: ZvZ) a whole lot but I do like the idea of having a legendary, so I went out and got world exploration. I was lucky enough to receive way more than enough badges of honour to cut that step out completely due to achievement chests but I was about to start farming badges, too. I didn’t want to do those steps at all, in fact, I don’t even like the Ascalon areas and didn’t want to do those either, however, at no point was I actually forced to partake in any of these because it is my choice to embark on getting a legendary.

Thanks guys!! It really means a lot. I think It could be a simple fix and it would be less annoying filtering out what I can and can’t wear.

It isn’t just swearing that gets filtered, but anything that might be considered insulting or flamey. For instance, kitten, kitten and kitten are also being filtered out. That’s understandable, but then it also filters out kitten, which is a real grey area to me. Some kittens might be bothered with it, but hey, it’s in the dictionary, so why the kitten not?

The inability to see chat from guilds you are not representing is one of the biggest issues facing my guild today.

I think the ability to be in more than one guild is a fantastic feature, but a lot of its potential is lost due to this one omission.

Not being able to communicate with all of a guilds members who are online forces guilds to attempt representation percentage policies which are very difficult to implement due to the limited guild tools.

If we could simply read the chat for all guilds we are members of a lot of those policies would become unnecessary.

I have some hope that when the authenticated API is released (which is supposed to include access to guild chat) that we’ll be able to see chat for guilds we are not representing through a 3rd party program, but ideally we need this in-game. Not everybody has a 2nd monitor or wants to use an overlay.

If necessary it could be read-only, requiring a rep switch to actually talk. Chat text itself might be a slightly darker shade of gold and preceded with the guilds tag. EDIT: Ooh, just thought, right click on the tag for a context menu that allows you to switch rep.

Were I A-net boss for a day, I think this would be my #1 quality of life issue.

I second this… but I’d like to take a moment to expand on the idea.

As I’m sure most people know you can get to LA for free from anywhere in PvE by going into WvW (or PvP) and exiting via the Lion’s Arch Asura gate.

Lion’s Arch provides gates to the five “home” towns around Tyria. You can then travel to previously discovered waypoints in those towns for free. (via Gate Hub Plaza way point if you wish).

The reason I don’t do this more often is my PC/network/some other factor makes each individual hop take a long time. I often just map direct to a WP in a town even though it “costs” me money simply because I want to be playing the game not watching loading screens…

My suggestion is this …

Why not make travel to any previously discovered WP in a town FREE? It’s effectively free for those with faster PCs/connections/more patience already. You’re just levelling the playing field for the rest of us.

I hope that’s an interesting thought

Currently these stones have only 2 usages.

1) They can be used as a kind of Mystic Forge 4th Item Joker to reduce the amount of gear to 3 items for a successful exchange.
Anet should increase the Joker Function here to 2 Stones per Exchange being possible to put into the Forge

2) They can be used to make with the 3 most valuable Salvagign Kits the Mystic Salving Kit, which is basically on the long run besides Black Lion Salving Kits the most useful Salvaging Kit you can run around with, as they have a full stack of 250 Salvaging Usages and have a 80% chance to receive upgreade out of items
ANet should implement for a high costs of MFS here also a permanent version of this Kit, like using a stack of mystic forge stones together with a mystic salvaging kit and some other fitting items that cost for example a alot of skill points and one that costs alot of karma

So 250 MFS + 1 MS-Kit + High SKill Point Item + High Karma Item = Mystic Permanent Salvaging Kit.

Get such a kit then together with 1 Black Lion Salvaging Kit and 1 High Gold Cost Item + 1 High Laurel Cost Item = Permanent Mystic Black Lion Salvaging Kit*
—-

Other usages for MFS’s:

Use MFS’s to enhance Materials with their amount in a 1:1 rate to higher tier materials.
You have 250 Tier 1 Copper Ore and want to turn them into 250 Tier 2 Iron Ore?
No problem, put following into the Mystic Forge:

250 Tier 1 Mats + 5 MFS + 10 Crystals + 10 Philosopher Stones = 250 Tier 2 Mats
250 Tier 2 Mats + 5 MFS + 30 Crystals + 30 Philosopher Stones = 250 Tier 3 Mats
250 Tier 3 Mats + 10 MFS + 50 Crystals + 50 Philosopher Stones = 250 Tier 4 Mats
250 Tier 4 Mats + 15 MFS + 75 Crystals + 75 Philosopher Stones = 250 Tier 5 Mats
250 Tier 5 Mats + 25 MFS + 100 Crystals + 100 Philosopher Stones = 250 Tier 6 Mats

That way it would become a bit easier to get the partwise ridiculous amounts of mats for specific crafting recipes together.
——
Use MFS to change Minipets into randomous higher quality Minipets.

Blue Minipet + 5 MFS + 25 Crystals +25 Philosopher Stones = Green Random Minipet.
Green Minipet + 10 MFS + 50 Crystals + 50 philosopher Stones = Yellow Random Minipet
Yellow Minipet + 20 MFS + 100 Crystals + 100 Philosopher tones = Orange random Minipet

Remove the old way of 4 Blue Minipets = Randomous Blue or Green Minipet and so on … Give Minipet Collectors a better more overviewable way of RNG mechanic that lets us not waste tons of minipets for a random RNG chance, but instead let us give specific items more of a use like MFS, Crystals and PS that people actually want to get alot of those items to use them for something useful in the end, that has still at the end a RNG mechanic, but one that will at least reward you with something, that was better, than before, even if it might end up in something, that you don’t need anymore.
——

Use MFS to create specific Shop Items over the mystic forge or thigns that will be required to make your legendary weapons.

• 5 MFS + Material X + Material Y + Material Z = Random amount of Mystic Clovers ranging from 2-10
• 1 MFS + Monster Trophy X + Monster Trophy Y + Monster Trophy Z = Experience Booster
• 1 MFS + PvP Item 1 + PVP Item 2 + PVP Item 3 = Glory Booster
• 1 MFS + 10 Badges of Honor + 2 Laurels Bags (exchangeable for laurels at Laurel Trader turning your Laurels into an Item just) + 1 Scroll of Experience = WvW Booster
• 1 MFS + 5 50 Point Essence of Luck + 5 100 Point Essence of Luck + 5 200 Point Essence of Luck = Magic Find Booster
• 1 MFS + Laurel Sickles + Laurel Pickaxes + Laurel Axes = Crafting Booster
  —-
  Use of MFS to improve/refine the Level and Quality of an Item to Max level and 1 Quality higher…
  You know you have that moment alot, when you get a yellow rare dropped and its just a lvl 76 item or so …

Then you take that Item, put it together with 5 MFS, 5 Experience Scrolls and 5 Superior Sharpening Stones = 1 Level 80 Exotic Weapon
Per every Level that the item should raise, you would have to put into the Forge 1 Experience Scroll and 1 Superior Sharpening Stone + 1 of each for the forging itself
So in this example case we want to raise the level of an item by 4 levels, so we have to put 5 stones and scrolls into the forging als also 5 MFS…
Same should work with Armors and Accessoires.
—-
Use MFS to create also with them a MYSTICAL ARMOR SET.
—-
Use MFS to create a permanent Mystical Transformation Tonic for Costume Brawls, which lets you transform into all kinds of costumes randomly for as long as you wish, just like the secret tonics which transform you for an hour into everything basically randomly The Mystical Tonic would be just the permanent version of that
—-
Use MFS to create with it a special permanent Mystical Finishing Blow
—-
Use MFS, to create with them various new Mystical Back Items
—-

What do you think ???

Neural.1824:

Mel.8769:

I have wondered this many times. Especially when opening Zhaitaffy.

Doesn’t Zhaitaffy make you hurl if you eat too much? That could very well be quite funny.

Indeed it does. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2aeYFAyXVk

An “open all” or “consume all” option would be good for opening all the Halloween bags and candy corn.

Oh and the jewelry boxes in orr. I buy a ton of those and my poor little finger gets tired of opening them. Then once they are open, there is all that karma to click through.

Why 1000? That’s alot. While 250 candy corns for one cob would have been just fine. Or perhaps even making full cobs drop from enemies as well could have worked, could it not?
The numbers required now are pretty crazy, considering Candy Corn nodes have been removed from open world too.

If more new armours are going to be introduced into the game via the gem store then I would definitely like to see a system like this – a great suggestion. Bank space is already at a premium so not having to store unwanted bits of purchased sets would be good.

I heard the new changes of priority to buffs within parties coming soon.

Can we have a stable Right-Click to JOIN/INVITE to party options on chats?

At the current moment, it’s a real pain to manually type names when we hit “P”.

And anyone can answer as to why it sometimes show and not ?

Spoilers incoming:

It is possible but not recommended to kill the Prince with lifesteal. However if you do then the quest does not progress and you will not get the golem. Rezoning will not restart the quest and you cannot re-enter for the reward.

Necros beware. The Thorn family has a nasty joke this year. If you kill them, they take their bags of treats and go home.

Depends on the player. If you dont care about min maxing every character then its very alt friendly. if you want to have BiS and WvW bonuses then its actually very alt unfriendly.

Wasn’t this supposed to be one of the categories?
If not, please consider implementing it.

The Open World category is limited to your own server and doesn’t really seem like an appropriate categorization.

Our small guild will be unlocking Challenges soon, and with anywhere from 3-7 members participating in missions each week, it sounds like we will have absolutely 0 chance at completing one of these unless we get some help. I was hoping that the LFG Tool could be part of the solution but the lack of a cross-server Guild Mission category makes this rather unlikely.

I agree too. I would expand it to include not only back items and light med heavy but also the different gears like rings and earrings.

I’m surprised no one’s jumped in on this topic, but yeah, I totally agree. I was just doing a Google Search to figure out how to find back items in the trading post because there’s no in-game method other than searching for specific names.

The trading post search functionality needs an overhaul. This would be one of the many improvements that would make it more useful and and searches more efficient. I have to imagine that it would be less strain on the TP databases too, plus less bandwidth for sending unnecessary/unwanted results to the client every search.

Side note: The ability to filter armor by light, medium, and heavy would be a huge time saver as well.

I remember shortly after launch people were asking “where can I get back items”.
Now almost a year later and I still see new players in divinities reach asking the same question.

Most veteran players like myself know you can search for the words “back”, “brace”, or “spineguard”, to find some back items, or if you know the exact name of a newer (event related) back skin you can search for this by name (eg, holographic dragon wing cover).

But what we really need is a filter in the trading post to search for “back item”, which also includes back skins and backpack covers, so people can browse and buy previous event back skins also.

Sure, players can use 3rd party sites to try and find back items/skins but we relly shouldn’t have to keep relying so much on other peoples websites to give us the information we that should be able to find out by playing the game.
