Guild Wars 2

If you made the monk strictly a martial artist with F1-4. being fighting styles it could work. You would probably want to call it Martial Artist though so as not to confuse people.

Honestly that seems dangerous for your health to be sitting and gaming for 24 Hrs straight . It may be for a good cause but it promotes a dangerous habit .

Um DDO too as D&D is where the Bard class came from to begin with . As for adding it Bard is difficult to balance because its one of those classes that you have to make touch on every other class ( Fighter , Thief and Mage ) without doing any of them well enough to override them . Dont get me wrong I love the Bard and it was all i played in AD&D 2E but i dont think you’ll see it in GW

Vaerah.4907:

You mention 3 keywords: “PvP”, “achievement”, “explorer”.

1) GW line of games are centered around PvP. You might not like it but that’s what the games are about and ANET never hidden that.

Completely false . In fact in order for you to partake in HA in the beginning you had to be Ascended which was a COMPLETELY PvE thing . There is a whole 2 1/2 pages dedicated to PvP in the Prophesies Manual if GW was about PvP wouldent there be more?

The reason Guild Wars is called such is do to lore and lore alone .The Guild wars took place between 1013 and 1070 AE between the kingdoms of Kryta Ascalon and Orr. The only thing that brought them to an end essentially was the Charr invasion .

As for world completion The Mists (where WvW takes place ) are not part of the world according to lore so it shouldn’t be needed for world completion

just grab a staff and a hammer and scream “YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!” each time the # 5 skill on each is recharged lol

Eles have quite alot of Combo Fields so if you’re looking for combo synergy something like a Guardian or maybe a melee Ranger would be a good fit

@ Cloudwalkernz.1328
as far as 3 is concerned the way I understand it the answer is 20% . After all if you had a 111% chance of rare loot inflation would be through the roof

The Wiki should answer the other questions
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Magic_find

Wow talk about ungrateful. You should be glad you get exclusive skins , Pets and Mini pets at all .

I want to say it looks like Primeval Armor but i cant find a picture for it with a Charr

Snarky Snarf.8463:

maybe you need to learn to learn from your failures instead of getting mad at them.

Comments like this are not helpful when the problem lies primarily with someones motor skills . I can Sympathize with the OP as i have some motor issues as well and have fallen more times than i can count because of it .

My advice is to remap your keyboard and take them slowly .

Do them on a normal sized character such as a Human or Sylvari as you will get a better idea of where your character is in relation to objects .I would also suggest only doing the difficult ones once and say screw it on the other characters (that’s what I’m doing anyway ).

If a friend of yours has a Mesmer ask if they are willing to help you via portal .

Its not the end of the world if you cant get a vista in 2 or 3 tries you can always move on to another objective and come back later .

Naw all titles should be wearable for free as long as you earn them .

heh you think people wouldn’t get scammed left and right with player to player trading?
Heres the wiki page for GW1 on it http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Scam

I’ll stick to the Trading Post thank you very much. Listing fee or not at least its safe

11) Thank someone for resurrecting or otherwise being nice to you

12 ) Be nice to Newbies . You were one once yourself after all

Just a correction You actually had to complete To Sorrows Furnace and get the quest Final Assault for the Iron Forgeman to spawn . I’d honestly just see them as high expense armor like Grotto or Citadel rather than a questline

@silverghost
you did not have 239% magic find 10% +1% does not =11% when it comes to magic find . You’re only getting 1% OF 10% which is a very big difference

I would propose instead of a questline Profession Armorers be stationed in cities the same way Trainers are and depending on which city or outpost you buy from the armor would look different . So for instance rangers might have Druid armor in The Grove and in Divinities Reach they would have Drake Scale

Crazylegsmurphy.6430:

I’m not sure how popular is would be in an MMO, but my girlfriend made a good point the other day. Why can’t we wear anything and everything in the game?

If I want to wear chain mail, en the game should let me. If I want to use a rifle, even though its not standard for my profession, then let me. All the game would have to do is reduce the effectiveness of any items I use.

So say I’m a thief and I decide to pick up a huge sword. I should be able to, but I might be slow, and what may have a 200 damage for a warrior, only allows me like 100, or less.

This would allow players to have the choice to use all the gear in the game opposed to just dumping it on the trading post, or selling it for cheap. I like the idea of using Armour that may not be ideal for me, but it may be better than what I can find, or currently make.

Plus, it opens the possibilities for my character to try all the stuff without having to create a bunch of alts that I really have little desire to play.

Weapon and gear ethos has been around since TSR came out with D&D so its far from a new concept . As far as MMOs go a classes Ethos makes it easier to tell what someone is at a glance at least for the most part . Also keep in mind in GW2 skills are tied to weapons so if a weapon isn’t within your ethos there wouldn’t be any skills attached to it rendering it useless .

Narathkor.8541:

The event needs to be the entire team throwing away their kitten cupcakes and working on the game breaking issues and not working on how a mob is going to drop an event token.

Would you be happy if the event token was a squished bug ? I say have the event in full force . Maybe even several different ones depending on the culture of the capital .

What counts for the Plant Slayer Achievement? It’s really starting to bug me that every time i look at my Achievements its stuck at 18 .

Paragons are more singing support than shouting as they had chants and echos .

The biggest problem with bringing the Dervish back is that 2/3 of its skills were based of the gods and they are chillaxing with popcorn now so the Dervishes skill pool is very limited .

Mesmers already efectivly do this with Time Warp. The next soldier profession wil likely be the Paragon possibly the Dervish

Around here we dont really care how its said because bashing someone for how they pronounce something is ridiculousness to say the least

There have been times where ive just wanted chill out and listen to the music in guild wars and guildwars 2 . Its an epic soundtrack for an epic game

Have you completed your personal story? I cant confirm it myself but ive heard there’s a PoI you can only get through your story

Yep nailed it on the second one . Here’s the thing even if they did block it people would just use something else and quite frankly as long as you know you’re not one it doesent really matter does it . A little self confidence goes a long way .

I’m pretty sure its based on how many Gems are out there vs how much gold is . Given this is in a constant state of flux the prices will be as well .

lol dont be a bookah or do you want that added too? You’re either trolling or too sensitive for your own good I’m not sure which

One can never be to old for gaming .However as far as "having heard it all before " anyone who’s well read or done some heavy RPGing ( note i didn’t put MMO in there ) pretty much has . There are only so many stories that can be told before you’re hearing the same one with different people in a different setting.

Now considering my previous statement i think ANET did a pretty good job with the story they’re telling

I’ll pass on both . I see no reason for either and inspection only leads to “omg youz equp suxors” /kick elitism.

Let me grab my Domination Mesmer…..

Style-wise it has to be Divinity’s . As much as i like Holbrak Divinity’s reach has it beat by a mile on style

But don’t you know " I can outrun a centaur "

Well its far too late to move the Vistas ,PoIs etc at this point which kinda sucks cause it puts a lot of people in a bad position .

My guess is they wrote the monk out essentially do to the gods pretty much sitting back and eating popcorn at this point . Also if you look at a lot of the Guardian skills they are named after many of the monk skills which pretty much tells ya that monks decided to take a more aggressive role and formed the Guardian class .

Adine.2184:

It sounds like your beef is more with WvW being needed for 100% map completion than it is with legendaries requiring 100% map completion . Is this a correct assumption?

Not particularly. I’m fine with 100% world completion requiring WvW map completion. I’m not fine with legendary creation requiring 100% completion.

I’d be fine with legendary creation requiring 100% map completion, if said map completion could be done without requiring your server be good/organized about WvW. If I could go into the battles and just avoid the enemy forces and get my points and leave, I’d be okay with that. Even if it meant being zerg killed while running around.

Ok I think I get what you’re saying now . The thing about the Legenaries though is that they are suppose to be hard to get so if you remove map completion then what do you propose be the new requirement?

I personally think map completion is fine but that WvW be taken out of the equation for it as the mists (where WvW happens ) is not part of the world to begin with according to lore .

This is my list
Halberd
Crossbow
Flail
Recurve Bow
Spear ( such as a Dori )
Buckler
Scythe

Sojou.2067:

The reason I say this is because legendary acquisition should be about player skill and the player’s time investment. 100% world completion isn’t a black & white time investment sink.

I play on a server that, to be blunt, doesn’t give a rip about WvWvW. I don’t care about it either. It’s not why I bought this game. But sadly, I’m forced into this buzz saw of boredom, being farmed over and over again because of several reasons:

1) As stated before, we don’t care about WvWvW
2) We’re outnumbered, because of option 1

It would be slightly different if ALL of the map markers were available without requiring the control of a fort, but sadly, too many of them are (ie more than 0). I’m fine with the 500 honor badges, because you can collect that, on your own, in a manner that could can get kills without having to control everything. But this 100% world completion requirement is just a slap in the face.

So I’m penalized in what I want to accomplish in this game because of a choice of playstyle, and the world I chose to play on. I understand that I could server hop to a dominate WvW world, grab my stuff and move back – but that’s just sadly not how I play, nor do I know the ramifications of that action being that I’m a guild leader.

Anyway, I know it’s too late for a change now, and I understand that you wanted players to do a lot of everything to get a legendary, but it’s just disheartening to know that part of the legendary solely resides in factors 100% out of the control of the player himself.

It sounds like your beef is more with WvW being needed for 100% map completion than it is with legendaries requiring 100% map completion . Is this a correct assumption?

Salacious.7358:

it seems to me that the shiver peek mountains have changed A LOT and as I recall, from school – mountains don’t change. I get there was a flood, as stated in the lore about the shiver peeks, but nothing seems familiar and in 250 years no that much could have changed…..

Can some one fill me in?

Clearly your teachers left out the part about the effect the rise an of an elder dragon can have on a region . never mind the active volcano to the south .Even the diversion of the Elon had an effect along the southern edge

Draw.7529:

Okay, I admit I jumped to this without taking a closer look to the current Era of Tyria. But it’s kinda weird how Asuras are so evolved and, living nearby Humans, raises a lot of questions. In my view, Humans are fast learners and get their hands on everything. Wouldn’t they be all over Asura’s creations and coppying them?
What I mean is, by now, the technology would evolved really quick, unless there’s something to explain how they can still be slowed down. If there’s any answer to this like “humans can’t really get asura’s technology” or something, explain it to me. I haven’t read any of the books yet.

The Asura were subterranean and only forced to the surface 250 years ago by the destroyers . Before then Humans had no contact with them . Also its pretty clear the Humans in Tyria while willing to use such tech dont necessarily understand it very well .

TheKillerAngel.3596:

It could theoretically work. You could give Skritt a passive that reduces the strength of their skills solo (to maybe 66-75% effectiveness) but increases their stats when more skritt are in the area (this would follow a logistic function, with increasing numbers of skritt providing a large initial boost and then diminishing returns). Skritt, with a large enough group, could get a 150-175% bonus to certain skills and stats.

the problem with this is that no other race has inherent advantages or disadvantages so from a design perspective it doesent work

Ptaki.3715:

Make the mouse people the next playable class. They rule.

only in large numbers. Individually however they are sharp as a marble . This is why they wouldent work as a playable race .

Its end game look at me im rich armor . Its price is fine

i would…

REMOVE- PvP elements from PvE oriented things ( i.e world completion )

REMOVE-Bots

ADD-Jungle Troll as a pet

maybe not but i sure get a withdrawal headache if i dont get my coffee fix

alfista.6094:

Of all the things to compare it with, you chose crack. Your intentions were good. Your choice of words was not.

This. Coffee would have been a far better addictive substance to choose .

Unfortunately PvP is filled with kicks for kittens kind of people . The bigger problem however is that you need to do PvP for what is essentially a PvE title .

Just a tip that may save you money in the long run . dont repair your armor untill the red icon shows up . Waypointing isent too bad untill you get to higher levels .

I’ll have to remember this as i go thrugh the world but for now im off so as a wise Dwarf once tolt me as we took a trip through sorrows furnace KIIIIILLROOOOOY STOOOOONEKIIIIIN!!!!

Xpiher.5209:

Ok, so in every game I play I make at least 1 character who’s named Xpiher Duminous, and usually its a Dark Knight/Battle Knight/ or Necro, and then I make alts. In GW2 I wanted to make character names that kinda fit the lore of the game. Please tell me if my names make sense for the races/class combination I’ve made

Sylvari Elementalist- Victoria Hellbane
Human Necromance – Xpiher Duminous
Asura (male) Thief – Bippie the Unseen
Norn Guardian – Anton Stal (the Friar)
Char – I don’t know what name to pick, but he will be an engineer. Please help me create a name

Thanks all in advance!

Sylvari usually only take singe names and Norn names are more Nordic sounding

As far as the Charr name i would base the last name off your legion some examples for each might be

Ash
Shadowstrike
DarkClaw
Blackblade

Blood
Fiercestrike
Grimtooth
Warblade

Iron
Steelclaw
Ironstike
Burntblade
