Guild Wars 2

I think I saw this in another post: try going to one of the main cities (DR, etc) and talk to the trainer there. That fixed it for the previous poster.

Rapid Fire should launch your pet instead of arrows, so your pet could be useful.

Rapidly fire 10 brown bears… sounds devastating.

The naming policy specifically forbids “Reference religious or historical figures”. Not sure it’s a bannable offense, but if you get reported or whatever you’ll at least be forced to change it. So if it’s a new character, I’d suggest just deleting and rerolling with a better name.

(For reference: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/guild-wars-2-naming-policy/ )

In light of all the confusion, anger and discontent associated with the new leveling system ,which is supposed to be set up to ease new players into the game, maybe a tutorial that shows how to do the different features found in the game should have been made. The opening garrison could have been expanded and the story line could be modified to include a trainer that showed different weapons, combat movements, targeting, etc. Anet has done this before in Factions and it worked well for showing how to do things without level gating skills and such. This idea could be polished with input from the community and improved upon. Please note this is not a gripe post I would like to see other players honest input.

I remember the first time I played GW2. I walked out into Queensdale, there was the symbol of the scales on my map, all shiny and new, so I walked over to them. There was a man in a fancy hat below the symbol. At this point I was getting slightly confused, I’d already wet myself. I pressed F and a new window appeared, I wasn’t sure what was happening, I thought my game was broken, there were all these words and symbols and I just didn’t know what to do. By this time I was laying on the floor in the fetal position, weeping softly.

Sometimes I still have nightmares about that day.

Thanks Anet for removing the confusing horror that was TP traders in starter zones.

I just re-logged my GW and it patched about 28MB. any idea what this is from? I can’t see anything official regarding it

It’s in the release notes from the patch yesterday, as a new post on the thread.

Strictly positive posts are no more helpful than completely negative posts. I get you may want to just be nice, but I think it much more constructive to give genuine feedback that covers positive and negative aspects of the game.

People should be able to express their opinions good or bad without being attacked by fanboy/haters.

I think you missed the part where Guildwars 2 is the sequel to Guildwars 1.

I hope you realize that Eye of the North was supposed to be the prequel to GW2. Primordus was introduced to show what you would be doing in GW2 = hunting the Elder Dragons. That was not stealing, it was paving the way as an introduction to GW2. Get your facts straight.

You lost me at the revive. No need to make the open world even easier than it currently is. It’s shamefully, awfully, dreadfully, truly easy.

Minipets have been, are, and will always be cosmetic.

EDIT: I will also add that minis are not at all consistent with lore, with some exception such as the Orange Tabby Cat and Rockfur Racoon, which would be that size. You don’t seriously believe the Pact would be cool with that miniature Tequatl the Sunless that you let walk around your feet?

I’m looking forwards to show off my multi colored com tags in random locations in pve and lions arch and so do you

Yeah, you must bind Eternity to your account, but doing so will unlock all the following skins:

- Eternity
- Sunrise
- Twilight
- Dawn
- Dusk

You are only catering to new players.

seems like a valid approach when talking about the initial part of the story.

Based upon feedback in this thread I reformulate my initial suggestion to serve as a new topic starter. Feel free to leave your comments after this post:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Revitalize-the-Game-World-Resetting-Hearts/page/6#post4359338 this links to this same post, but posted further into this thread, so you don’t have to read all through the thread.

Personal Heart Reset
The hearts in the world should be able to be reset by players individually, so that they can access that bit of content ( be it to participate with a friend, to regain background for the area, or to have something to do while one waits for DE’s to spawn in the vicinity ).

1. Talking to the NPC resets the heart ( ‘Need some more help?’ -> ‘If you have some time, all help is welcome’ -> ‘Sure, reset the event’. )
2. Once you reset a heart it will visually indicate you reactivated the heart, ( f/e a * will be displayed on the heart, or a green outline is added to the heart .)
3. Once reactivated you can finish the heart again, for one time, after completing it you won’t be able to do the heart until the system resets. ( This to prevent people from ‘farming’ the same heart over and over, or even feel compelled to do so, and to make people fan out through the game if they prefer to do more hearts .)
4. After a month the hearts you ‘reset’ during that month will reset itself, or if possible the hearts will reset individually after a month, so you can do them again.

=> Because the hearts are not considered main content, there is no real need to adding them to achievement lists.

I hope that with this new OP the suggestion is fleshed out, dealing with most if not all concerns raised in the thread so far. And as such can function as a new discussion starter for the rest of the thread.

I’m not really a guild player, and I don’t have any interest in GvG, but saying you can “technically” fight other guilds, in WvW or PvP, is really missing the point. A real GvG mode would likely get special rules tailored to it, areas designed specifically for it, and support for things like tournaments.

Comparing a game mode to something you can simply do is a bit like comparing Sanctum Sprint to simply racing other players to the top of Labyrinthine Cliffs. It’s similar, but not nearly as fleshed out as what people want from a GvG experience.

Frankly, I was too lazy to read the content of the post, but to answer the sentence from the topic – perhaps I wouldn’t mind that, if the story wasn’t so childish and shallow.

There should be a balance….to little text ppl will not take seriously…to much text ppl won’t even bother.

As for your Great Wall of Text about something that has been stated in almost countless threads so far. The game needs an expansion

LS in my opinion is just the buffer between major content expansions.

…and noo i didn’t read even the first paragraph of what u said, it’s just a hunch. Your text is bigger then most patch notes ANet gave us.

That’s quite a large wall of text to essentially say ‘everything in your game that isn’t gameplay, put together, is nothing compared to the importance of gameplay’.
