Guild Wars 2

Just want to say thanks for actually making my character feel important in the dialogue between myself and the Living Story characters. Giving orders and having characters ask me what to do is a good step in the right direction.

It’s A LOT better than, “Yeah. Great. Go on. Will do.”

Being from the Priory, and having a line mentioning my name being important was also good. It’s a small detail, but it’s a huge improvement. Obviously my character speaking would be the ultimate result, but I understand why that’s not always possible (both budgetary and currently technically).

Hope it continues!

No matter how the cutscene or dialogue is done, please please please please please always provide a “skip all” or “skip to next” option.

I realize it sounds insulting to the people who work on cutscenes, and I do appreciate that work, but some of the cutscenes do become tedious if you’re completing content on multiple characters, or even just completing it multiple times on the same character.

As Niels says, their relationship has been hinted at pretty strongly since Tower of Nightmares – the chemistry between the two has been pretty clear since they were first shown teaming up.

As someone in a T1 server (JQ), I’m definitely looking forward to this. Sometimes all servers are full and this looks like a good place to queue up in while waiting for an opening. It might even make some people like seasonal achievement hunters go here for achievements. Thanks for this.

I just wanted to say that I’m happy the Flamekissed Set is in the trading post. I’ve always liked the human tier 3, but I play sylvari so I had no chance to get it before. Having as many armor skins to choose from is something that keeps this game fun to me. I like to change armors like I change clothes each day.

I do have a suggestion though.

It would be great if it were possible to dye the color of the flame. I noticed the animation of cinders coming off of the armor also which is awesome. So if it were possible to dye the flames black, and have black cinders coming off that would be amazing. Or even a blue flame like the icy dragon sword, or w/e color people wanted. You know everyone likes their armor to match their hair color and it’s even better to have the glow parts of an armor match the sylvari’s skin glow. And fire is one of those things that looks more awesome in different colors.

With that said. I wouldn’t be offended at all if I saw a human wearing a sylvari cultural tier 3 set, because it doesn’t take anything away from me.

Hi,

Love the game and in general think we have a good community. I have noticed a disturbing trend of toxic posts across the forums and would like to remind those who are posting these toxic remarks to consider your fellow gamer before you do.

It would be a shame to see these forums go the way of those other games, not mentioning any names of course.

Take care and have fun !

“…”

“…”

“..Can I pet your—”

“No.”

Because I can.

“What are you hiding?”

“Nothing…”

“This won’t end well.”

You know how weird it sounds right? When you say “no, we don’t want ppl to try out our gamemode” (lol that sentence reminds me of something…. AHUM nvm!).

I know there are griefers, but it’s kinda like saying “1 tourist killed himself and some other ppl in amsterdam…. No more tourists allowed!”

Instead, give them good ideas on what to implement that could prevent this from happening. The 90% of normal people that want to try it, won’t be able to, just because of the few spies/trolls/griefers.

It would be neat to see more mini-interactions in WvW. I have much more fun roaming and fighting in smaller skirmishes than watching or being steam-rolled by huge “zergs”. The more small activities there is to do, the better. Something like supply-runs would make things a little more interesting.

Imagine that you, as a player, could pick up a bundle of supplies from a supply camp. How much supply is in the bundle would have to be decided; not too much. You would not be able to use your normal skills while carrying the bundle, and perhaps you would also be immune to swiftness. Your goal is then to carry the bundle to a tower or keep, at which point you get some WXP. You can, at any time, drop the bundle to fight, but other people can pick up (or maybe destroy) the supplies laying on the ground. Successful drop-offs would be added to the supply at the destination.

Using a waypoint while carrying a supply bundle would drop the supply on the ground.

I think an activity like this this would add an interesting dynamic, without taking away the importance of dolyaks. Teams would have to decide if it was worth devoting resources to running a little extra supply, how many players should carry it, and so on. When roaming with few players, it would also be a fun alternative activity that would give people more reasons to spread out and fight.

There are many nuances and additions that could make this really awesome.

I’m ok with giving them (us, I confess) their (our) own server. And giving us the OPTION to switch.
But I have some points to say (please don’t misunderstand what i’ll say, since I have no intention to be rude):
1 – Most of Brazilians in MMOs don’t have the language issue neither high ping issue. Also, most of brazilians are not in BR guilds, specially in GW2. The brazilians in BR guilds are usually (not always) the ones that do have language issues. And this “language issues” are mostly because our average age from MMO players is low, compared to most of the countries (adults playing games is some kind of taboo here, in some families) . But as I said, most brazilians are not in Br guilds, and you don’t even realize who they are between the game population. You might see english mistakes in my post, but you can clearly understand, right? I see native english speakers doing worst than I do.
2 – I used to think Br ping problem was terrible, since we have low quality internet here. But after one year of GW2 and some other games before, I realize most of North Americans have almost as much lag problems as we do. I see North Americans teleporting too, and its not that rare.
3 – If we paid for the game, and we are allowed to play the game, then we are allowed to speak portuguese in the chats. Just like I see people speaking russian, german, spanish, and so on (in NA servers). I see guilds spamming everywhere, in every language. But most of the spam is in english, because most of the players speak english. So I believe every nationality spams relatively the same, you just think brazilians do more spam because you are not used to portuguese, so it might be just a psychological mistake.
4 – Even if we have a terrible ping and so terrible fighters for wvw… How can 30 terrible fighters be worst than no fighters at all? They might play badly because of ping… But at least they are there to play for your server (which is stronger than my, by the way).
5 – But I’m not from DH (and I assume you are), I can’t really say I understand the problems you are complaining about. But if it’s so bad at DH, the same does not applies to the other servers. Creating a Br server, in portuguese, based on Brazil, just to “save” DH from our bad connection and our language… Might not be worth. And it make way to many other countries demand their own servers or demand server for nationalities that are causing problems to their own game experience. Maybe at some point, but for now I don’t think there is enough brazilians and south americans in GW2 to make it worth creating a bunch of servers in south america (have to be “a bunch”, or they will have no wvw), the created servers would be empty.
So, if they cause so many troubles to your game experience, might be easier to switch servers yourself, than asking all of them to change. I’m in HoD, and Br population here is very small, for example.
Again, I didn’t meant to be rude. And I hope I hasn’t sounded like that.

Blix.8021:

While most sane people stopped caring about the score a year ago, some still cling to the notion that WvW is a competitive game type with PPT being the indicator of success or failure. You’ve seen them, the crazy people who want to hold a tower “for the tick,” as if matters. Those are the types who don’t like GvG.

Because of people like this. Generalizing and demeaning to those that don’t play the way they want them to.

I vote to ban GvG oriented guilds to a specific server where there is no pve and no wvw only a single map with no npc that allow them to play 20vs20 and leave the whole world in peace : and guess what : they would be happy lol

It feels like people are outright trying not to understand anything in the living story just to prove a point.

must have taken a hell lot of discipline from both sides.

if it were from my server , all hell will break loose.

Please keep it as it’s helpful for some and easily ignored by others.

Your GW2 players.

Maybe the bar could appear after use similar to achievements, the bar could then display how much your magic find has just increased by. :}

Only a WvWer will comb through the list from the dailies / monthlies to see what they can accomplish in the battlegrounds only.

Only a WvW guild thinks it’s funny when they kick off a Guild bounty and realize no one has any way points there.

A random invasion popped up about an hour ago and I really have to say…

Minus the people pushing for a finish for achieves and minus the majority of the hardcore farmers and minus the two bickering, and QQing this invasion was actually FUN. We failed but everyone there did their absolute best without any pressure or negativity floating about.

And WOW are those mobs a bit harder with less manpower, was great to pull out some skill instead of relying on a zerg of 50 people.

I like this addition to the LS when it’s not every hour and tied to timed achieves.

and from my perspective I am the worst sort of forum poster on internet gaming forums.
