I’ve tried to play a female charr, but the voice just throws me off. The voice actress sounds so bored, or just without any energy. That said, I really love the way female charr (charrettes?) look.
OK, that is curious. Also, I want to know which jester put them up for almost 1 gold a piece.
Anyways, couldn’t you just buy leather? It’s pretty much one click more, and a few seconds of waiting. I’d say that beats paying 1 silver a piece for low-level crafting material.
The cultural armors were specifically designed for the races. They’d have to remake every piece of cultural armor for every other race (there’s no way an Asura’s clothing could NOT be stretched to hell and back worn on a Norn). That’s just not feasible.
I don’t even mind the fractals so much (My friends and I took 2 hours to get our 7 Fractals for the monthly achievement), but I just don’t think they’re fun. All I want is some variety in the monthly achievement – 50 World versus World kills, seven Fractals and two other things three months in a row is pretty stale to me. I mean, hey, I would be fine with a World versus World-centric month, with maybe 50 kills, 20 captured places and 30 killed dolyaks or something, followed by a dungeon-centric mode, like maybe clearing out 5 dungeons in story month. But it’s always just “Hey guys, did you go into Fractals yet? Please go into Fractals, they are really fun. Fractals are your friend” to me.
If I craft a legendary weapon, it’s gonna be level 80
Let’s say they open up to level 90 in the next expansion, how will that affect my legendary?
Will it become level 90? Then I won’t be able to use it until I levelup?
Will I need to make one of the new level 90 legendary?
Will there be some sort of “legendary” upgrade path? If so, will it cost several hundred golds as well?
Thanks for all info you may have
No offense, but nobody has any infos because ANet never said anything about a level cap increase. Far all we know, it can just as well stay the same for years to come. Or maybe instead of level increases we might get baby quaggans to follow us around and enhance our skills which is a thing ANet should really do now that I think about it.
Here’s a little tip: Watch your surroundings. There are a lot of little details and things you wouldn’t see if you just ran from heart to heart. My favorite so far is translating signs in the world – there’s a cipher for New Krytan, the written language in Guild Wars 2. There’s some really funny stuff hidden in the game.
I don’t know about any programs, but what I’ve been doing is getting some distance, using the /sleep command and then zooming in really close while turning the camera a little bit up until my character is out of view.
Let’s be honest, there isn’t much ANet can do now, 4 months after release. They can’t just go “Oh, the Guardian’s a healer now, and Warriors are tanks. The rest do DPS”, the game itself isn’t designed that way – and that’s leaving out the new behind the community would tear them if ANet did that.
I mean, I won’t deny your right to talk about this topic, but in my opinion this discussion isn’t leading anywhere.
On a tangent about weapon skins and the personal story – I’d love to know how many people keep that weapon you get from the level 10 story mission. It’s practically a free cultural weapon skin.
Yeah, these are things I’m missing too. Personally, I like watching other people do better than me, and so far I have to stick to cheesy YouTube videos that leave the shortcomings out and are set to Linkin Park/Metallica/Disturbed-music.
Recently, I purchased a new PC I’m going to install this weekend, and I’ve been wondering how (if) it will be able to run Guild Wars 2. I don’t exactly expect a stunning performance (read: I’m fine with low graphics settings), but it should run at least fluently. Looking back, I have honestly no idea how I’ve been able to consistently play with 15 frames per second.
Anyways, here are the specs:
Intel Core i7-3770-processor (Quadcore)
8 GB RAM (though I can upgrade to 16 GB)
NVidia GT 640
I’ll probably be using Windows 7.
I’m not entirely sure what else I need to specify, so let me know if something’s missing please.
On my human engineer, it’s definitely "That feels good" whenever I receive vigor from receiving haste. Probably doesn’t help that I use that "haste on crit"-trait.
On my ranger, on the other hand, it’s *whistle* or "Sic ’em".
A male Asura necromancer’s voice acting is the greatest thing, especially if you use a minion-heavy build. My personal favourites are still “On your…. uh…. feet!” and “Each more hideous than the last.”
I guess the hype is a really big reason for all the disappointment – that entire “the MMORPG scene will be changed from the ground up” thing just isn’t realistic, you can’t just swing a magic Guild Wars 2 wand and everything is instantly awesome. I get it’s just marketing, but in my honest opinion, people shouldn’t have expected this game to be Jesus if he was a video game.
Though in all fairness, I have to admit I was pretty kitten hyped too.
Then again, there are pretty much only 2 religions (for the major races, at least) – the human gods and the Norn’s spirits; the Asura’s eternal alchemy is more of a concept trying to explain the universe than a religion per say, Charr are outright atheistic and Sylvari are pretty agnostic.
Also since both the human Gods and the Spirits of the Wild have been proven to exist (that whole “Kormir becoming a god” and “Owl sacrificing itself” thing respectively, just to give some examples) I don’t really see how they would compete with each other in a meaningful way.
I’m not exactly a lore buff on the minor races, but the only ones with any religion I can think of would be Hylek and their Sun thing, the Quaggan worshipping Melaggan (who’s been confirmed by the devs to be Melandru) and the Grawl worshipping basically anything powerful (The Mighty Oooh and that Grawl cave in Wayfarer Foothills come to mind).
There’s this one picture in the opening cinematic for sylvari that shows a male sylvari with some sort of shoulder-long black ‘hair’ which I kinda like. I’d really love to have some longer ‘hairstyles’ (leafstyles?) available..
For me, personally, the looks are pretty important. Not in that “Aw yeah antialiasing and anisotropic filtering on top of bloom and super-hyper-realistic water”-way, but rather the look of my avatar, the surroundings, armor and animations, that kind of stuff – I want to feel like I’m controlling a little ‘puppet’ in a coherent world. I personally think Guild Wars 2 did a pretty good job with that, especially with the little character details; engineers actually drinking their elixirs from little flasks and tossing them away, or bows having noticeable bowstrings, that sort of thing.
Personally, I use the flamethrower with elixirs constantly. But then again, I like a very defensive playstyle, and using a crit / condition damage-build (with some vitality and toughness from gear) allows me to use a bunch of on-crit traits like the burning and bleeding while I also can keep up practically constant swiftness and vigor. That plus the flamethrower’s blind and knockback plus the rifle’s knockback and root and I can kite like my life depends on it.
Didn’t you already post this thread? I could swear I’ve already seen it somewhere. I think there was a guy wondering just what “ungreebly” was supposed to mean.
That Quaggan organ in Caledon Forest. I enjoy playing that thing so much, I already played the Guild Wars 1 & 2 themes, part of the Imperial March, and most important of all Trogdor’s theme.
I’ve always been confused about these things anyways. Are they Sylvan Hounds? Fern Mastiffs? Thorn Wolves? Fern Hounds? They’re all the same things, but still have so kitten many different names.
I can’t argue about light or heavy armor since I mostly play my engineer or ranger (and seeing others’ armor is kinda hard since mostly it’s all black platemail for some reason), but I have to agree about the blandness of medium armor, there really are so kitten many trenchcoats.
Though, in my opinion, you get that rare gem that stands out, like the crafted noble armor.
Personally, I really love Reaper of Grenth, I use it all the time on my engineer. Then again, I’m pretty much an in-your-face-flamethrowering-all-the-things-engie, so I can utilize the conditions pretty well. Avatar of Melandru is pretty decent for some jumping puzzles, too (suck on that, Goemm’s Lab).
