Guild Wars 2

Not a single white knight? I am impressed! Seriously OP, noone cares what gender you are anymore it’s 2013, stand on your merits not your gender. Your opening statement almost appears that you are trying to draw a causal relationship between being female and being casual, I don’t know if this was your intention or not but if it was it’s quite frankly insulting. That isn’t to say that being casual is insulting, it’s just that to make an implication that you are casual simply because you are female, well it discredits any validity of female gamers as being able to actually be “competitive”

I too, share nesting instincts.

For I am a bird. The true silent populace… Caw.

I would very much enjoy if the devs could cater to ours needs…Caw..: More trees, more worms about (The grubs giants throw are rotten, and unsuitable for consumption.).. Caw.

Congratz to IoJ for finally painting DHBL Green after 3 hours! </3

I am a casual player as well, only 1 level 80 on my account. This is the one of the most casual/solo friendly games on the market. Some content is designed to be harder than others and some will require you to work with other players if you want to complete it. Did you try and learn from your one and only experience in Southsun before you “immediately logged off?” If you play more difficult content and immediately run away after first contact how do you learn to adjust in order to deafeat your target? If solo face rolling a game is considered fun for you, stay in the easier content.

Play in a group. You know, that’s how you play online games.

L2P or don’t come to that zone, stop talking about it so we don’t get another nerfed, it’s already super easy.

The problem is too much emphasis on using TP to get precursor materials for a legendary. Those who have gotten hold of plenty are controlling the market since the influx is not high enough.

the F1 skill on GS “ARCING SLICE” it does not stack the correct amount of might

AXE

Triple Chop: Since the 22th October 2012 update, Triple Chop can now be inturupted with a regular Chop (i.e. from mashing #1). Tied in with the cast bar for Triple Chop changing from the normal one to the channelled one.

GREATSWORD

Arcing Slice: Lists “Might” instead of “Fury” as the bonus on the tooltip text when you have enough adrenaline to activate the skill. The boon icon correctly says Fury.
Arcing Slice: Description says you uppercut the foe with an uppercut. Animation is actually an overhead smash
Bladetrail: Numerous environment collision issues. Sometimes it gets stopped by a wall/cliff, other times it can pass through multiple objects without issue.
Bladetrail: Known bug which can cause it to deal utterly insane amounts of damage. Seems to occur when the blade hits a large number of targets.
Hundred Blades: If used right at the end of Greatsword Slice (skill #1 chain #2), there is a noticable delay before the skill activates. Using it earlier in Slice’s cast time or just as Brutal Strike (skill #1 chain #3) starts causes Hundred Blades to activate instantly.
Hundred Blades: Quickness starting or ending during the cast/channel (i.e. from a proc or Frenzy coming to an end) will cause the ability to bug out and not do the full amount of hits.
Rush: Still misses the opponent with the final swing, usually due to the Warrior overshooting or not turning around at the end.
Rush: Still sometimes causes you to run on the spot in front of your enemy as the game hasn’t realised you’re in range for the hit.
Whirlwind Attack: Ground reticule sometimes keeps showing even after the skill has activated.
Whirlwind Attack: Camera collision/clipping issues if performed into a wall.
Whirlwind Attack: Known to cause a target drop when used.

HAMMER

Earthshaker: Doesn’t apply damage or stun if the landing point is lower than your starting point, i.e. leaping off a ledge to hit enemies below you. Animation applies mid-air instead (and I’m guessing the damage and stun along with it).
Earthshaker: Using this skill when rooted (example given was Ranger’s root) results in you being unable to move at all until a charge/leap/jump skill is used (example given was this skill again or sword Leap).

HARPOON GUN

Spread Shot: Will sometimes miss even if both targets are stationary.
Spread Shot: Actual maximum range is shorter than tooltip range.

LONGBOW

Arcing Arrow: If you place the targeting reticule on yourself and dodge immediately after firing, the skill has no effect but still goes on cooldown. unable to verify.
Combustive Shot: If you place the targeting reticule on yourself and dodge immediately after firing, the skill has no effect but still goes on cooldown. Burst skills always go on cooldown if interupted for whatever reason.
Dual Shot: Won’t auto-target on a foe that is 900-1200 units away, even if you have the trait to extend the weapon’s range.
Fan of Fire: Applies 1s burning rather than 2s.

RIFLE

All: Frequent “obstructed” messages when trying to hit moving targets. Most often occurs if shooting up hill, even if the visual effect of the bullet isn’t clipping into terrain/walls. Most noticeable when trying to shoot people from a keep walls in WvW – shots that look perfectly possible come up as obstructed with the rifle, but work fine with the longbow.
All: Unable to break binding roots immoblize effect (tied into the above).
Rifle Butt: Extremely short range/angle. Misses most times unless point blank.
Volley: Quickness starting or ending during the cast/channel (i.e. from a proc or Frenzy coming to an end) will cause the ability to bug out and not do the full amount of shots.

SHIELD

Shield Stance: Duration of buff displayed is incorrect.

SPEAR

Tsunami Slash: Will often send you charging straight past your target. Happens at all ranges.

SWORD

Flurry: Switching to a different weapon while using this skill prevents you from attacking for a few seconds.
Impale: Tooltip damage much higher than actual damage.
Riposte: Tooltip damage much higher than actual damage.
Savage Leap: Doesn’t apply damage if the opponent is lower than you when you start to leap, i.e. leaping off a ledge to hit somebody below you.

1) You should NOT be able to kick people once you are at the end of the dungeon. It is just rude. People should get banned for doing this.

2) You SHOULD be able to kick the party leader without getting the team kicked. I’ve seen party leaders do half the dungeon then just AFK until the rest is beat, and if you kick them, the whole party get’s kicked. It’s lame.

I’ve heard if this happening, too.

This is most definitely not the old Guild Wars community.

I am mostly ok with the Legendary item requirements barring 2 things:

1- The Precursor. This is ENTIRELY luck based, and I don’t think it should be. Your only options for getting one right now are to get lucky in the Mystic Forge, get lucky by having one drop, or to grind 200g+ to buy one from someone else who got lucky.

2- The Lodestones. Pretty much the same thing as the Precursor. Extremely luck based, and even farming all day long at max Magic Find you might only expect to find 1 or 2 of these in an 8 hour farm session. Figure that you need 200, 300, even 350 for one (non-legendary!!) item and it quickly becomes obvious that the drop rate on Lodestones needs serious tuning. Again, the only alternative is to pay the gold price, as of right now 2.5g per Charged and rising. For those keeping track that’s 875g in materials — just for one of the materials! — for a non-legendary item! (Mjolnir). We’ve officially departed into crazy land…

What would I do to solve it? Pretty simple really. #1 I would just add in a progression route to make guaranteed Precursor. Materials can be hard to get, maybe you need a ton of dungeon tokens or whatever. But it should be something that can actually be worked toward with a goal in sight and is not purely “well gee I just threw 50g into the Mystic Forge and got nothing, oh well back to the drawing board”

As for #2 again I offer a simple solution, make Lodestones drop FAR more commonly, driving prices down to the ~25-50s region and making actually farming them yourself become viable. Alternatively award Lodestones for completing other in-game tasks, maybe doing DEs or dungeon runs guarantees you some.

Everything else about the legendaries isn’t really that big of a deal, its primarily just the precursor and the lodestones. All the other stuff can be worked toward at a steady pace. The precursor and lodestones are pure lottery.

Actually, in GW1 the gravity was overwhelming, that’s why you couldn’t swim nor jump.
With the demise of the great destroyer, the planet core got less dense and you were able to jump while advancing and swimming.

Really hope Anet can do something to reward who play this game fully..
I have done all jumping puzzle.. Gonna get all explorer and soon dungeon master..
Even put some effort to kegmaster.. I have the highest achievement point in my guild without spamming salvaging for these point..

But my gold is much lesser than someone i know who is botting or others who is buying gold..
The legendary imo should be something you challenge yourself to get..
Not something fully depend on how much gold you have..

I am inclined to agree with others in that the massive spike in price really highlights the massive shortage or drops/availablility for players.

I mean think about what you need to make a legendary.
Gift of Fortune:
77 Mystic Clovers (about 250 Ectoplasms )
250 Glob of Ectoplasm
Thats almost 500 (Five HUNDRED) exctoplasms.

Gift of Magic:
250 Vial of Powerful Blood
250 Powerful Venom Sacs
250 Elaborate Totems
250 Pile of Crystalline Dust

Gift of Might:
250 Vicious Fangs
250 Armored Scales
250 Vicious Claws
250 Ancient Bones

Not to mention most of the other gifts REQUIRE 250 of the T6 materials as well.

It does’t requre one or two, or twenty or fourty, but FIVE HUNDRED.
HUNDRED (ectoplasms)
And whats the drop rate on powerful blood? maybe (yes MAYBE)1 an hour.
The list of materials is INSANE.

Now, I havent even brought up the absolutly mind boggling material requirements of the other mystic forge recipes.

I Am glad your getting rid of bots.
But lets go back and re-examine what it is that you expect of players and crafting materials for some of these items.

“786 BE Humans appear in Cantha for the first time and settle the northern coastline before spreading completely across the continent.”

remember this: with the humans came the human gods. the human gods were not in tyria before the humans, they arrived together. THAT is my proof. if humans came to tyria much after the first elder dragon attack, then so did the gods. and as far as lore takes us, the gods have always been gods, since way before they sat foot in the planet.

“Where does it say that? Yes, the dragons are currently on the continent of Tyria but where is this proof that they have some sort of invisible border they can’t cross?”

so now you’re implying that the gods have been dragging the dragons around, to have their source of power within reach? the dragons were in Tyria for the entirety of humanity’s existence, the human gods couldn’t have possibly absorbed some of that power all the way from cantha, where they were already gods. unless you’re also implying there are more dragons, in which case this ceases to be a lore discussion and becomes a “what if” discussion.

“Grenth was born a half god and gained Dhuum’s power when he defeated him so he wasn’t born with the power he has today.”

how do you overthrow a god? remember that there are only two known cases of this: a group of heroes blessed by the 5 gods to take down a weakened, trapped god, and Grenth, with 7 mortals, taking Dhuum down when Dhuum was in full power, and with no help of the other gods. Grenth wasn’t born human. he was born with the power to become a god. all that was left was taking Dhuum down.

.

you’ve presented a theory: the gods were once humans that harvested the power of the dragons.

i’ve proven your theory wrong: the gods, and the humans, came to the planet Tyria together, with the gods already in their “god status”. it would be hundreds of years until a human god came even close to a sleeping elder dragon (namely, when they sat foot in Orr).

there are hundreds of years where the human gods were gods and weren’t anywhere close to a dragon, and as such, their power does not come from the dragons. theory proven wrong. end of discussion.

Not to flame or hate or anything really, but I’m pretty sure Gods vs Dragons have little or no connection at all.
Also, the “Pale Tree: Melandru” part almost made me not want to read the rest of your post.
Again, not hating or anything, but people really need to stop connecting the Elder Dragons with everything.
I’m almost positive that Anet has said something like, The Elder Dragons aren’t everything.

so what you’re saying is that they sapped that power, then they traded it around like it was some card game?

and my other point stands. the human gods first walked into tyria after the dragons had been put to sleep, and when they got here, they were already gods.

so i’m sorry to say, but your theory is moot.

you’re like the billionth person that tries to tie the elder dragons to the human gods and have to start making flimsy assumptions and broad changes to your own line of thought just to fit.

also you forgot lyssa, who’s the current keeper of the title “god of water”.

also (x2) the human gods were gods before they even got in tyria, and the dragons were around since before the gods showed up.
