Darn, it looks so cool, too. :/ Mid-range isn’t going to beat the headphones I currently have… so I guess I have to return it. And they have a freaking restocking fee.

This Guild Wars 2 headset just arrived… and its quality isn’t great. I was hoping for something on par with my current headphones. There’s a weird ‘fuzzy’ noise in the background (it’s very soft, and quiet) when nothing’s playing, so… I’m wondering if it’s defective.

Does anyone else have this headset? If so, what’s the quality on it?

Is all of LS2 in Dry Top?

in Living World

Posted by: AegisRunestone.8672

AegisRunestone.8672

I hope not. I’m really disliking Dry Top. That Aerin fight was the most annoying thing in the world. It seemed similar to the Teyo Teleport fight (in the asura race arc personal story—College of Synergetics), but not anywhere near as enjoyable.

In any case, I’m REALLY not enjoying Dry Top, and I hope all of LS2 is not in it.

The etiquette of standing inside people

I have to add this for the sake of humor.

So, months ago, my guild played mostly humans. I was the only asura. So, we were going to do a dungeon, and everyone wanted to see if they could cover me up all together (I didn’t mind).

Then someone walked passed us. Stopped, and asked: “What are you doing?”

Then one of my guildmates said: “We are cuddling. Do you want to cuddle with us?”

The guy said: “Sure!

That made my day.

[Suggestion] Switch death Blossom with...

What the…? Death Blossom is my FAVORITE move on Dagger/Dagger! O_O Why remove/replace it?!

I’m 100% against this suggestion. First, DB gives evade; second, it deals bleeding and three hits of damage; third, it’s one of the coolest looking abilities a D/D thief can have.

I have no interest in Shadowstrike.

I made a character before they removed the chess, and I never tried it because I never knew about it. Had I, I would have.

Anet, I think you should bring back these mini-games because they were fun and interesting. A lot of people on the forums are complaining that the game is becoming stale. Re-adding these mini-games into the game might spark some more interest. Even if it’s only for a tiny measure of time.

[Fan Story] The Assassin of Rata Sum - 08/14

in Community Creations

Posted by: AegisRunestone.8672

AegisRunestone.8672

After re-reading the wiki entry on names ( http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Asura#Names ), you are correct (to a degree, some asura do have surnames). Unfortunately, when I made Vini, I knew nothing about asura, and so, I just made a name that sounded like an asura name to me. So, she became “Vini Yunio.” The issue is: by cutting out her surname, it just disconnects her from my character. :S

I have an idea. I can revise the prologue and such so that she mentions that she was given a surname due to her ‘eccentricism.’ :P I’ll do that later.

Yes, it took awhile, but I was working on my Zelda fan story. I’m trying to get that one finished as it’s almost done (40+ chapters. x_x).

MMO Manifesto - Does anyone remember this?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: AegisRunestone.8672

AegisRunestone.8672

I know and still believe in Anet’s Manifesto, which they still uphold to this day. Sure the game is not without flaws. The continual class balance or imbalance, the choice to grind or play with the odds of the ridiculous RNG, but let us be reminded of the things we no longer have to worry about. (Mind you I been playing MMO’s since 1997)

-Waiting for a Tank or Healer before you can start a Dungeon.
-People inspecting your gear, and basing your effectiveness off it (Gear Score also)
-Going toe to toe as a cloth class against a Mob and not being killed in two hits.
-Camping named mobs for rare drops.
-Retrieving your corpse after dying.
-Corpse Camping in PVP.
-Experience penalty for dying.
-Having to roll/transfer to another server to play with friends/guilds.
-Re rolling because you picked the wrong spec/stats.
-Drowning.
-Only able to play certain classes because of Racial restrictions.
-Kill Stealing
-Ninja Looting
- ! Endless Kill/Fetch Quests
-End Game Epic Raiding Elitism
-Subscription fees/services
-Moving interrupts spells
-Forced to play either “Good” or “Evil” race
-Limited access to areas based off Race/faction/Alignments.

And many, many more.

Sure some of you never had to experience some of the above, or took for granted those mechanics are in not Guild Wars 2, but I never forget. I am not a fan boi, and GW2 is not perfect, but the people behind the game are just like you and I: Gamers. Who want this game to be continually successful for years to come, and to continue to break every mold out there. kudos to them.

I totally agree to this. People are ungrateful human beings, who forget all too quickly the best things they have been given.

Personally i don’t like him because (summed up):
- Some of the most terrible voice acting i’ve heard in any game. Even picachiew has more depth and feeling then him.
- He quite literally takes credit for everything you do.

I bolded the part of why I hate him, too. Isn’t supposed to be YOUR story? Not Traeharne’s? Ugh.

Stupid meta bullies ppl

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

AegisRunestone.8672

Although I run Zerker (not pure, mind you. More like 90% Zerker), I find it offensive that players are kicking others for not having the same or ‘correct’ build.

That type of thinking (and its toxic community) is what made me leave League. I hate the “there is only one build, and you suck if you don’t use it” mentality, it’s not right, it’s not healthy, and it isn’t appealing to newer players. I love Guild Wars 2 because I can have my playstyle and succeed in it (for the most part)!

I hope you come across more players that don’t carry the ‘all or nothing’ build mentality because bullying is not cool.

Hi, Lily!

You’re not off your rocker IMO. I think it’s a cool idea, indeed. I like the idea of Shadow Door, that would be fun. Personally, I’d like to stick to my current build, but I’m sure there would be others who would have fun with this.

Which start place do you like best?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: AegisRunestone.8672

AegisRunestone.8672

However, it also has the most activity, and the most amusing dynamic events. I just wish the Battleground Plaza design and event timers were better so you’d realize the Golem fights have 4 major Krewes, each with their own events; And that periodically there is a major event where the 4 Krewes go Captain Planet against the Inquest.

LOL! I have to see this!

Really, my favorite city is Rata Sum, I love the geometry of the city. As for Starting zone… I think Wayfarer Foothills is the best despite the fact I haven’t made a norn. I love the beautiful snowy area. Though, Metrica Province definitely has some of the best events and best hearts (talking with ‘big words’ to skritt, anyone?).

We need stealth counter skills

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: AegisRunestone.8672

AegisRunestone.8672

OP, I read your posts, and I do not believe for one second that you have a level 80 Thief. Or you do, you never used him/her in PvP or WvW, or you have, but not enough to understand the Thief.

Regardless of what the truth is, your suggestion would kill the Thief class. Acro Thieves are already dead due to the Feline Grace nerf. Shadow Arts was weakened, especially due to the Shadow’s Embrace nerf.

I used d/d and short bow before you or anyone else calls me out as an ‘abusive d/p thief.’ Regardless, many others have given plenty of suggestions on how to counter a thief in PvP/WvW. So, those suggestions from players who know how to deal with stealth reveals the fact that you’re either lying that you have a thief, or about your experience with the thief class, or your understanding of the thief class, as I stated before.

Also, you can re-see the ’what’s coming up next’ window by clicking on the gem next to the level number on the right side.

It’s silly. I have a great suggestion: return the level up reward window the way it was with the hover-over the arrow to see next-level’s rewards, and then keep the gem. The gem will show the ’what’s coming up’ whenever you click on it. So, then everyone wins in this situation.

[Suggestion] The dodge system

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: AegisRunestone.8672

AegisRunestone.8672

Isn’t the whole combat layed out for avoiding damage rather than healing through it? As a matter of fact, healing power seems to be as weak as it is right now just because of that.
I don’t know, what would you consider the opposite pole of dodging? I disagree with absolutely having to buff something else when nerfing a certain mechanic. If you had to, what would you buff?

I don’t understand what you’re saying. Since healing power is nerfed, that would make nerfing dodging all the worse for survival. If it’s laid out for avoiding damage, then why do you want to remove half of the mechanic that allows for avoiding damage?

[Suggestion] The dodge system

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: AegisRunestone.8672

AegisRunestone.8672

Thanks for your response.

What do you mean by “not dodging properly”?
And as for your argument that people who mistakenly dodge are being punished – that is not the problem of the dodge mechanic but of the player specific hotkeys for dodging. That would also be all the more a reason to proceed with caution in fights instead of mindlessly stacking in a corner. At this point I see a little defensive investment to be a good choice. It would make dodging properly harder, but from another perspective it would also mean that it would require much more skills in terms of timing and positioning.

Did you just answer your own question? :P

I meant by you’d have to dodge at the exact moment, or get hit/get downed/die. That’s not fair to players, and I do not see how one dodge would stop the stacking. If anything, players would stack more often in order to avoid having to use the single-use dodge. It’s just not a good idea.
