Guild Wars 2

If you have server pride you need to step away from the computer for a while.

It’s the same concept as a sports team. Of course there’s going to be server pride….

Main problem is that many people send message in their PvE server about upcoming WvW events, which helps get new players in WvW.

Would I go on PvE megaserver map to say : “big rush from ABC on XYZ borderland at 10 today! Hope to see you there!” or “Introduction to WvW for ABC server on X map on [date and time]”. No Wouldn’t want the ennemy to know we are getting ready for something.
Sometimes we have a keep attacked, not enough to defend, send a few people on the PvE maps to gather troops, and people do come and help out.

This ability to easily reach out to PvE population is going to be taken from us.

Let’s see why I’m still not interested:

Deluxe Stuff

1. Summon Mistfire Wolf Elite Skill – For 30s another stupid AI, waste elite slot? No way!
2. Miniature Rytlock – I don’t want it. I have a Skritt!
3. Golem Banker – Good, but learned how to live well without it…
4. Chalice of Glory – Interesting… not. I hate sPvP.
5. Tome of Influence – 1k? Thats 2 banner. Guild makes 1k every 1-2hours…

Heroic Stuff

1. Suit of Legacy Armor chose – Okay, this one is interesting for 2 piece which I’m not likely to use ever.
2. Mithril Box (18 slot) – 2g woops I have it.
3. 10 Experience Boosters – I have a lot of this for nothing

I’m may in special good position with this, but these rewards aren’t really worth it “as it is”.
What do I expect from an account upgrade?

2000 Gem | Deluxe stuff:

1. SFX/Skin Variations for existing skills such as Rampage as One, or at least not a 30s summon, Necro’s Golem is at least useable.
2. Miniature – Select one from the Special table.
3. Golem Banker – Okay. What about 10 use of each week? Or at least 1/day.
4. Give a selectable perm Finisher OR a Toy
5. Suit of Legacy Armor chose: Select a whole set of any OR pick up 3 piece from whatever GW2 ever offered in the GemStore
6. Orichalcum, Box – 20 slot at least… 25 slot would be mutch better as real speciality.
7. 1 Total Makeover Kit
8. 1 Name Change Contract
9. Title of “Deluxe Adventurer” for the fun part x)

Thanks for sharing buzz killington.

Notice how nobody is actually forcing you to buy any of these things. They exist for people that want them. You are in no way obligated to buy them.

I paid 550 gold for ’The Hunter’ strictly for its skin. The ’Dwarven Plated Sniper Rifle’ which is very common in sPvP shares the same skin. Am I upset that I paid 550 gold for a look many others will now get for free? Absolutely not.

How other people play their game does not affect me. I am still happy with the way my character looks.

Dehvi.1435:

It would not be easy to implement this at all..

GW2 already has a first person view. It is in the options panel under ‘developer’, which is only accessible during beta testing (or, probably to anet-symbol players). I discovered it during the edge of the mists beta. It’s what you’d expect. view probably changed with character height – my asura saw a lot of crotches. I highly recommend NEVER to go into battle in 1st person view. But for immersion and JP and screenshots, it would be good to have. only thing I would of changed about it is to be able to quickly get in and out of it via mouse wheel (it was a toggle, so to get in and out of it you had to go into the options)

Take Stick

Find Dead Horse

Beat Dead Horse with Stick.

DDCarvalho.2071:

What advantage do you see in character-bound skill points?

I think the idea is that people like to retain some progression on a character-by-character basis. Each time something is made account-bound, it chips away at the distinction between characters and at the replay value of the game. Account-bound dyes and account-bound WXP do the same thing, though they’re pretty popular. Perhaps people think account-bound skill points just go to far. To give you an extreme example, how about account-bound level? Or automatically generated copies of your gear for all your characters?

Does that make sense? On the one hand, yes it’s more convenient. But on the other hand, the game gradually disappears.

Engineer mortar should have been done like Horrik from Fractals. A shoulder mounted mortar/cannon that allows the engineer to remain mobile, able to use it for a certain amount of time before it “overheats” or even making it an elite kit with the drawback of reducing movement speed etc, whatever. Point is: Non-stationary shoulder mounted cannon/mortar.

Make it happen, A-net.

Anything short of complete removal of the scheduled events will be a disappointment.

Gain less? They gain the same. They can still withdraw as many skins as their charges allow them. The second weapon still has it’s stat changing functionality, as well as being BIS if ever a tier above ascended is released.

Where is the line drawn. What if I have 3 Ghastly Grinning Shields. Their peak is higher than FSP has ever been. Do I deserve a pretty title for that? Infinite Light is expensive too, what if I dual wield those. Say I have multiple Mjolnir. or Chainsaw skins.

People who were happy to purchase/craft 2 Legendaries deemed it worthwhile at the time. Asking for compensation every update is ludicrous. Shall I expect compensations when a new Legendary Spear is released that is cooler than my Kamohoali’i? No.

Besides, all in game items are the property of NCSoft and ArenaNet. Players deserve nothing.

guanlongwucaii.3162:

you can exit dungeons as an instance owner and it won’t destroy the instance. you just can’t switch characters.

So you mean I’ll have to run to run out of the dungeon instead of logging out and back in? Cool, never knew that.

Yeah, I agree – that’s totally OP man. These mobs are all around the battlefields. You don’t even need to waste your steal on players, as a gap closer. What noob thieves, they don’t know they should target the ogres that are all around, you just can’t see them because they are in stealth(nerf ogre stealth), for that totally op ability, then walk to their targets and smack them good. I mean – it’s like 35s cd skill for 3s stun. I mean… gasp that’s like whole perma stunlock, knowing how thieves are. I think the most logical course of action in this situation is to nerf ranger pets.

Why u so cute and all, Danicia.

Enzo.3906:

I’m not a supporter of this. It ruins the immersion of gameplay, especially for others.

The only way I wouldn’t mind this outside of Apr. 1 is through the Box o Fun.

Yes, because the other endless tonics that turn you into giant candy corn monsters or living toys don’t take away from “immersion”…

snide chuckle

“We don’t like the overflow system”
“The overflow system sucks and needs to go”
“We need a better way to make sure we can play with our friends”
“Guesting isn’t good enough”
“The maps are dead, fix it!”

Anet: Introducing the ’MegaServer!" To help pull our scattered population together in a more meaningful way.

“Omg no! This won’t work”
“This screws with playing on my home world”
“I don’t want to play with people I don’t know!”
“How can I make sure I’m not in a ‘noob’ map now?”

kitten ed if they do. kitten ed it they don’t.

Run a dungeon tour of:

AC 1/2/3
CM 3
TA Fw/Up
SE 1/3
COE 1/2/3
COF 1
Arah 1/2/3/4

27.90g + tokens + champ bags + chest loot in ~3 hours.

176g + tokens + champ bags + chests in one week of touring.

Then if you want more money – run any Arah path in an hour, sell for 6g, make 24g per path you run. Sell four paths a day + dungeon tour each day and you’l have 848g + tokens + champ bags + chests in a week.

The one requirement for this is skill.

Look at all those bold letters someone’s jimmies are seriously rustled.

title says it all. i love the bobbleheads and have been overcome by random fits of hilarity (and golden eye flashbacks) cause of them repeatedly. they need to be in the box o’ fun soo badly. even if its just a rare chance.

i hope this isn’t only obvious to me.

thanks Anet, you guys really get me.

chuckle

Some people just don’t have the April Fool’s Day spirit.

“childish”
“immature”

Some people need to lighten up… a lot. It’s just some light hearted teasing from the devs, and I’m glad they did something they hadn’t done before. It’s nice that even through all the kitten they have to deal with from the players, the devs still have a sense of humor.

Besides, this is so much less intrusive / destructive than pranks many of us, or even our children, have pulled / will pull.

I was doing the cliffside fractal when the update hit XD

VisAVisPosM.8350:

They should have given an option to use this…. Personally I find it annoying and it has made me RAGE QUIT. Not fun in my opinion.

Oh come on, don’t lose your head now. You have to keep face.

You can look ahead to Wednesday already, when all this headless running will be just a bad memory in your head.

The thing is simple. Either your build does enough damage or not.

And if you do enough damage with a healing build then it wouldn’t be very fair for builds without that healing. Not to mention how it would make a ridiculously easy game even more easier.

What happens when i let my little cousin choose a characters style.

#StillBetterThanWeth

Thank you, ANet, for finally addressing this hot-button topic. I know it’s been on the minds of many players how unfair this situation is, and I’m glad you’re finally delivering a justly deserved nerf. Don’t let naysayers deter you.

Seriously, it boggles the mind how long these people have dominated the scene. Some people may say, “This is an undeserved nerf!” Or they may say, “We’ll keep going, nerf or not!” But you, ANet, say, “Nay, the nerfing’s just begun!”

After all, abusing the mechanics of the game this way… it’s practically – dare I say it? – an exploit. And oh how they exploit. Can you imagine how new players feel when they come across these elitists? Oh! The shouting, the gnashing of teeth. Saying what to kill and what not to kill? What ever happened to playing how you want? Yes, these exploiters have had their heyday. And now it’s time to move on. So thank you, ANet, for bringing this welcome change and a fresh breath of balance.

Now we can get back to playing the game as intended. For fun. Just how I know you want it to be played, ANet. Killing everything in our path and not just leapfrogging from one prizebag of HPs to the next. Thank you for fixing these Champ Train exploits.
