Hey guys, this thread has been an amazing read.
Why always so small? Even if it‘s very unlikely, how about a whole bunch of “evil” races? Why not? I just skimmed through the gw1 lore and found some candidates that might be of interrest:
1: Destroyers (not the huge ones but charr sized, instead of male female, diff. appearances)
2. Krait
3. Mursaat
4. DredgeAdding a whole bunch of new zones in every corner of Tyria, I believe this could be somewhat cool.
May the hate flow through you,DIVA
Of these the Dredge are the only ones that have a slight chance as they have rebelled against their oppressors before . Who’s to say there isn’t a faction in the Communist party trying to do the same thing now .
I dissagree i want to see Profession based Armor make a come back . Weight class is fine and dandy but give each class some armors specific to its class that only it could wear spread out at vendors across the world . I would say even varying the looks depending on the area the vendor is in. So a at Yaks Bend would have a different look than one in Granite Citadel or in the Ascalon settlement
while not the worst of ideas in theory you also have to remember the cap on members in GW1 was 100 not 500 so with out a strong hierarchy organizing an alliance in GW2 would be far trickier than it ever was in gw1 .
no reason not to crack em open
Waypoint costs are low as it is and ive never actually lost money on them .
Keep your elitism to yourself . Thats the last thing that needs encouraged
that shows a 1H axe hoisted over the wars shoulder not a 2 handed great axe there is a very big difference . Also concept art does not game mechanics make . I haven’t seen a fan off hand for mesmers yet which was in the concept art for it .
You really think that’s a 1H axe? Please, show me an ingame axe that is that large. I’d dual wield that baby in a heartbeat!
sure there are a few examples of what it could be

There are others too but i think the point is made .
Define nice. I’m giving mine a greco-roman look decked out in gold kind of like a living statue and shes pretty mix and match . we cat really recommend without knowing what you like . Looking through the PvP locker as mercury stated is probably your best bet .
I havent done SB since update bit the champs at Jormag dont drop loot so assume the same for SB
because difficulty is time based lately in every new boss content. and this is the only way we can fail events… so timer feels like a punishment rather than a challenge.
my opinion anyway… i think you shouldn’t care about events that not fail, it is good if they always succed even if it takes a day long, you should create content because you want to entertain people not because you want to teach them failure even in games (we are plenty of failure wherever else we go).
oh i never was a casual player of gw2 anyway. i passed from hard core to no player at all (for some weeks now)
I like the idea of a fail state for dragons . i dont know so much for some of the other world events but dragons should fail occasionally .
It’s quite silly since it’s arguably whether or not the mists count as part of the “world”. Then again it’s just as annoying to me as having to do pve to get better stats for wvw. >.>
Some will argue to you that wvw is actually not pvp, and they’d have a point (most are not capable of fighting another player though sometimes they may trample enemy players while in a zerg), but I doubt that really means anything to you either.
Personally, I am not fond of it either to have pve-only people who don’t want to be in here with us, as I would only enjoy fighting along side folks who want to crack some skulls and not just head off to that vista. It’s a game; we’re supposed to have fun, and I’d rather do content with people who want to enjoy it as opposed to some dreadful chore/suicide mission.
But yea… I guess they want you to sample all of the game’s content to count as exploring. But exploring the other side’s keep…?
And yes, the fact that the BLs are identical does not make it fun to explore either.
Good thing my server’s doing good this week… might be time. >.> Then again I won’t be getting 100% any time soon since the idea of exploring those trivial 1-30 zones doesn’t interest me either. I’ve already done all the zones above 30 anyways, so it’s not like I’m not capable of it.
This addresses most of the issues right here . Lore dictates that the mists are not part of the world . ( didn’t even need FoW , UW or even Realm of Torment for cartographer )
PvE players arn’t going to like WvWing and WvW players arn’t going to like PvE players running around just getting what they need for world completion. Here’s another thing too what if someones server is always one color or never has stonemist?
After killing 3 champs within 15 minutes. DR on champ loot bags kicks in until the player completes other DE’s to remove it.
so the second a casual does scarlet or joins the zerg for a few mins just for the heck of it they get hit by DR ? that hardy seems fair
Speaking of bloodstone dust where is all of it coming from ? were they destroyed ? I mean they are pretty vital to the use of magic in tyrian lore .
If you feel harassed or verbally abused by another, the best thing you can do is report the person. There is a handy tool in-game just for this. Or, you can play with map chat off, as I do. Lol. When someone tells me I can’t do something in-game, that is allowed, I just ignore them, and go about my business. It is an open world, you can kill whatever you like. That’s my take on it, anyway. =)
That’s not the point ,at least when it comes to queeensdale. Its about first impressions and if that first impression is a bad one you’re not going to leave your first play session with a very good taste in your mouth .

@Inculpatus cedo.9234
Yes but in GW 1 there was no level requirement to wear armor so a level 1 could put on Citadel or Grotto armor if you could get there . Now Level reqs exist so even getting to an armor or weapon merchant wont help . All it does now is get you some exploration XP
i dont see why this would be bannable but you’re really screwing a guy over if hes super low and gets 1 shot by everything . that doesn’t really teach them anything about how to play the game . Nor is there really a reason to rush a guy to high end areas in GW 2 .
Monk and rit are out as they have been absorbed into the guardian and i believe it even says so on the guardian page .
@ fergus
I had a similar idea of applying attunements to a heavy but more in an offensive and defensive manner .I call it the tactician
A Heavy class that “attunes” itself to either offense or defensive roles. Its class mechanic would be to have an offensive and defensive attunement that would switch weapon skills based on it . It would have a medium base health and have the following weapons
Main hand
Sword,Axe,
Off hand
Dagger,Shield,Sword,Mace
2 hand
Longbow,Hammer
An example of offensive vs defensive attunements might be
Sword Dagger offense grants a chance at poisoning a foe on dagger strikes and is purely offensive skills where as Sword Dagger defense grants a chance at stability every so many seconds and has more block/evade skillsI don’t know if that would be a widely accepted profession because it kind of defeats the purpose of having a warrior for offensive and a guardian for defensive. If they were to release a new profession, it would have to be pretty different from the classes they already have.
I really like the idea and I think it would be a neat profession, but I think it’s too much like the warrior and guardian classes.
You have to look at it as a jack of all trades master of none . The War and Guard will still be the best at what they do where as the Tactician has to put a little extra effort in
how can something be a cash cow that doesn’t exist ?

reminds me a bit of the sleek mask from GW 1
Yes . HoM achievements require you to have gotten achievements in GW1 and put them in your HoM there to unlock items.
Dont expect an ETA from the devs . even if it was an ETA of Q1 or Q2 of 2013 if they didn’t meet it then the whole forum and player base at large would be in an uproar .
Eve was here name . As you may recall she had a pet skull named Adam
Which is available as focus item in GW2
We need the GW necro armor back. It was all so good. The scar armor especially.
We need a lot of the GW1 armors back not just the necros

I imagine that these races would be tied to world expansion.
Tengu – return to cantha/rebellion against the xenophobic emperor. they would be playable as not only is their home then accessible but they would most likely ask at least one of the greater races/pact in their struggle to return home to cantha. this also means that, since they’ll need to design the tengu homeland, they’ll need to use an architecture style similar to cantha itself.
That Isn’t true at all . Although there were Tengu in Cantha their origins were in Tyria .
This is from the Wiki
“When the Great Tsunami of Zhaitan’s rise occurred, the tengu across the world saw it as a sign to return home and traveled to Tyria, a descendant of Talon Silverwing leading a charge through Zhaitan’s risen forces. When they reached Tyria, they built the Dominion of Winds which resides in Kryta over what was once known as Sanctum Cay. "
fake
Machines can be blinded ? News to me . Turrets arnt all that useful at later levels anyway as they dont scale well
2 is going to happen one way or another so 1 is my choice
Naga could “jump” by coiling their tail up and using it in a spring-like leap).
this so reminded me of the game Q-Bert
The Kurzicks were willing to under go the ritual or do you need to be reminded of that ?
Luxons were such animal abusers
Hes at Priory HQ dude .
Asura are underground race, other races are above ground.
Not really . They were forced above ground by the destroyers 250 years ago so they dont really fit that mold .
so far the only ways ive gotten it are dragons and scarlet
I dont do it for spite I do it so theres at least 1 champ the low lvls can get to w/o having to deal with the idiotic trains. As for reporting them the devs wont do a thing because they r not doing anything wrong accordign to the ToS but it is morally wrong.
You cant claim a moral high ground when you are intentionally disrupting what others are doing for fun . Do you perhaps covet their ability to to kill the champs faster than you ? Perhaps you’re just trolling the zerg for fun i dont know but either way you dont have a moral high ground to stand on .
The Samurai was essentially the knight of Japan so i cant see it as a different class . As for the Katana it IS a great-sword just much slimmer and lighter
The best advertisement for a guild is the people in it . Nothing you say in an advertisement can replace your members personalities. If you do advertise do it lightly highlighting the main function or functions of your guild
Because thus far all undead have been bar the reapers of grenth . Ghosts however are a different story
Tengu will likely be the next race as there are clear entrances to their city . What i really wish i could play is a Seer though.We knew of at least 5 in GW1 who’s to say they couldn’t of made a come back by this time .
All Charr are evil and must die . Nuff said
1.Engineer
2.Warrior
3.Ranger
4. Thief (maybe)
i think theif wold be a great choice . you could give it grapple skills maybe some poison in there or a vulnerability skill . If anything i would cut out the ranger from those keeping them low tech . Besides ranger has a huge arsenal
I agree crossbows would be nice the question is what classes would use it and what types of skills would it have ?
Unless its something super immature or an offensive name then no have at it .
What they should do is sell additional Material storage for each type. This would be a great way for them to make a profit since everyone has way too many mats
Honestly the best advice is to look to other D20s like D&D for inspiration . You can often find manuals online . Dont restrict yourself to just looking at the healing class of the D20 either but the Druid or the Paladin types as well maybe even the Ranger
wow that was painful to read but ANYWAY…… even if they did make it account bound the second you put it on a character it would become soulbound . Its not exactly that hard to earn the gold anyway . If anything they should up the cost of all cultural armors
Im guessing they are in part asking on the D20 aspect because they are crating one or the DM of one (Dungeon Master )
naw its easy to pick up
