I’ve never heard my asura say “I am defeated…”. Ever. What it sounds to me is him saying “I’ve beaten you, but you don’t know it yet” and I find it hilarious, because it happens when I break combat.

Listen closely. He does say that when hp reaches 20%-15% or something. I thought I heard wrong but he does actually say that.

Pretty sure you just heard it wrong.

I would not even bother to defend my point if I heard otherwise.

I want a option for muting voice acting. I do not ever want to hear my male Asura say: ‘’I am defeated, but you don’t know it yet.’’ ever again. Anyone else feel me? This must be the most frustrating experience I have ever had in any mmorpg within this franchise.

Only thing that got me REALLY excited about this game was the dragon fights in gw2. I remember a friend showing me that big black dragon fight on a youtube clip and I swore to be devoted to GW2 forever. The game is not bad, but it lacks excitement. Mind blowing events.

Fernling.1729:

It does have some terrible voice acting, but the story is just as bad. In this case I just don’t even play with sound and skip all cutscenes.

It is true. Voice acting is bad overall. But the thing that kills my experience is the lack of confident given to my character by voice acting. I want my character to tell everyone how friggin’ awesome he is and that he will never be downed. Not that he is defeated……………..but they just don’t know it yet….

Sorry mate. Couldn’t stop laughing when I thought about Carrie in Sex And The City when reading this. XD

To be honest Anet should be ashamed for having permitted such a brutal suggestion to come to life in this awesome game. Who want to get their fighting spirit ripped out of the very center of you- and your character’s soul like this? I am sadden.

New to Infused. I thought I should upgrade from berzerker accessories and a yellow spineguard back item to full infused accessories. Question is: How do I get them the easiest way? Now keep in mind that I said the easiest way and not the fastest.

I have been doing some research. Fotm tokens can buy infused? Now I do not want to do any fotm and that is the reason for me asking this question. My main reason to get infused is for enhanced power, precision and crit damage; road to a full zerk thief. I would love some tips.

I know that I can buy infused for 25 laurels and wvw badges for example. I have 26 and will wait for my main to get to 80 as well to buy them since I can assume it will be soulbound on purchase.

Well, some help would be awesome!

Best,

Lupicus’ Round 2 is bugged. His teleporting skill is the problem. The skill animation is working fine but he do not teleport to the location the animation is going.

stale.9785:

So, you selected a target with right click target (which automatically starts attacking, as opposed to normal/sane left click target, which just selects) and then you discover you’re attacking (because that’s the whole function of right click target – to allow PvPers to avoid the onerous task of having to double click like in every single other game ever developed.)

To put it without snark – if you have right click enabled, then whatever you right click becomes your active target, and you will attack it, regardless of whether it remains selected, or your intent. Right click = attack when in range; always. This is why there was a 10000+ view complaint thread about it.

Even de-selecting after a right click will still result in attacking the right click target, because, hey, somehow that’s optimal. From your description above, the entire problem comes from right click being enabled. If you actively use the right click for attacking, then you’ll have to live with the “feature” of it randomly selecting anything you press or release the right button over.

Thank you! You salved our probs.

Say I am running with my thief towards a heart to complete with my wife. There is prolly a distance of 5000ft. I use shadowshot and by mistake I target a yellow mob by right-click targeting, further away. As I have target on it, but intend to just run pass it, my character start hitting it tough I did not say he should. THAT is the problem.

I think most mmorpgs have this feature. Surprises me that GW2 does not. I remember BOI had a shout-out text saying that a world boss had spawned on this server. Nice feature tbh. I second this. 1-UP!

stale.9785:

Press F11 – check that you have auto-target selected (or not) check right click targetting is de-selected (this is the most common cause of dropped targets/wrong targets – they only added the toggle a couple days ago, after 10,000+ complaints).

Our problem is that we can target by mistake but never actually command anything but the character start hitting anyways. Been this way since launch and I wish for a fix now.

I know about the right-click target thing, and that is not the problem for us. Just that the characters of ours have own free wills.

I would suggest a fix to the annoying auto-hit thing. Me and my wife’s character keep hitting targets I have not commanded to hit. Please fix this. It is annoying as hell.

Cerol Brisingr.1893:

Simply this. Projectile speed, AoE radius, casting time – all that would need to be changed if you wanted to move faster in battle.

Maybe Anet should’ve thought about this before scripting/programming this then.

ilr.9675:

For WvW?? Yeah, we obviously need this mechanic b/c there was too many split-runner teams in GW1’s more objective-oriented PvP that just had NO GENERAL COUNTERS until Anet nerfed them or their mana sources completely.

This is still not Guild Wars 1.

However. I’m just curious to know what Anet’s motivation is towards speed in GW2. What made them program/script it this way?

Torqueblue.1945:

The slow down does suck when you get hit. The only thing that’s worse are the Risen Acolytes in Orr ( the Female variant). Once they smell you a mile off you’re stuck with them and if you get hit by them they chase you across the freakin’ map. Not literally but those of you who do know understand what I’m sayin’.

The apes are the only ones chasing you across the entire map. ^^

Now, I am thrilled to see more thinking like me. It feels like as if you are provided with speed buffs outside of combat mode, they should not be affecting you when you engage in combat, only to even out the odds a bit.

I feel that the running speed is poor. As other games have a sprint option, we are forced to use up viable skills and speed buffs to get around and I can live with that. What I find difficult to adjust to is just that significant (15-20%) change in speed when engaging combat.

How is speed is treated in the game? Personally I think it is brutally mistreated. It is just one thing about it I do not like and it is the way how battle slows you down when engaging combat mode. Not only is the speed already bad in my opinion but is not the condition ’’Chilled’’ and ’’Crippled’’ enough slowdown that you have to implement a script\feature that slows you down even more dramatically?

I am very interested in what people have to say about this.

Best,
Fred

Was too lazy to look if someone had written about the turrets in Arah, so i’m starting a new topic relating to them.

They are driving me mad – and obviously everyone else I’ve encountered for the dungeon runs. So please, make them melee-able because it’s ridiculous to have to get into downed state because I keep missing with my sword.

Best,
Aeonixus

Hey all, just wanted to let you know I’m still working and I’ll keep you updated as soon as I have something to post.

While were on this topic, could you also look into the Mystic Forge rare-to-exotic chances? Ever since the start of the Last Stand of Southsun events I haven’t had success with acquiring exotics this way. This doesn’t bode well since this is one of the few viable ways of getting a precursor.

I haven’t either, I threw in 2 dozen rare GS’s last night and didn’t get 1 exotic back, also I have been going back to salvaging my blue and white heavies and weapons for mats and have noticed that almost every time I only get 1 piece of mithril or 1 piece of elder wood, where I use to usually get 2-3, could this whole thing be an RNG problem???

Start a new thread about this. This is ecto department.

Time is money… That is true. And people shouldn’t have to pay more irl money for a game they’ve already bought. Globs were my only solid income when I needed gold. You shouldn’t have to “work” when you get inside a game you want to escape the real life with. But that’s just me. ^^

John Smith.4610:

Hey all, just wanted to let you know I’m still working and I’ll keep you updated as soon as I have something to post.

Awe, I just fell asleep waiting for your post and now a few hours later you’re still not there! XD kitten you, John! I will see what you had to say in a few hours again! Gl!

IndigoSundown.5419:

I think it would have been better to have used the new effect for enemy AoE and left the old one for friendly.

Could not agree more.

I am still awake hoping for a response for this soon! :P 01:53 here. XD

Keep being open minded. It is good to share your thoughts for anet to review of what you think of the AOE notification circles.

Oi! I left this thread for 2 days and so much congratz! Thanks people! :’) And I was just effing around with the Sims features. But I would much like to hug or as suggested at least carry my bride. Lol. Thanks again for the congratz, now I can go to sleep well! ^^

Oddly, my ecto salvage rate has been perfect recently. I don’t think I’ve salvaged a single rare that hasn’t yielded an ecto in the past week, so it’s strange to hear that everyone else is having exactly the opposite results. It’s all anecdotal until we hear from Jon, but until then, I’m just going to assume that I absorbed all the luck in GW2. Apologies for that, everyone.

Most people are referencing either this month, or this very recent patch.

So was I. Since the patch, I’ve had a perfect ecto salvage rate, and for the few days before it as well. During the rest of this month, my salvaging luck has been fairly normal. That’s why it’s odd for me to hear so many people reporting the opposite.

It cannot be a coincidence that the majority of people notify anet on this event. I am confident that they will find something wrong with the %rate. If not, then they have an insider.

I do remember and miss some of them. The majority left.

You know the red circle that appears by enemies throwing an area of effect towards you? What do you think about the change? Is it better or worse, because I feel it is more obvious. I do not like the effect but it works for me. Personally I would have suggested a more ’’pulsing’’ effect rather than ‘’smok-ish’’ but that is me. Shoot!

I can confirm a significant change in the %rate of ectos from salvaging rares. Wether anet says no or not I know someone did do something to the %rate because there is a significant change just from past week up to today.

I do cof most of my time spent in gw2 to salvage for ectos and it has never been this bad before. So i will look forward to what anet has to say since it is clearly not stated in build updates what they did to ecto drops.

Imma throw the question out there for people who keep suggesting and asking about mounts for Guild Wars 2 – for Anet – Will there be or is there plans on EVER implementing a ‘’close-to-mount’’ feature?

I will take a no reply from anet as a yes/maybe. ^^ Pushed into a corner! >:D

Twilight weapon set please! Need Twilight Sword, Dagger and Shortbow for my thief. Thank you! LOL

Just effing around with the question regarding house and babymaking in game but i would much like to be able to hug people in games the same way I can wave to them and laugh at each other. ^^ Thanks for the blessing. I am sure I will find some time to keep playing a game that I so much love.

Reason for asking is because my wife is pregnant and is awaiting twins. So I want to persue the same things in GW2! O_O

Am I the only one bothered by its name? I have gotten more and more frustrated about its name recently… It is like the people who named the boss ‘’Legendary Searing Effigy" were not thinking about the dungeon conversations at all before naming the last boss. What I mean is, why name it ’’legendary’’ when he was built over a day maybe?

I can think of 2 bothering facts about path 1. The first is before the flaming balls when the npc says she want to destroy her creation – the searing effigy. She sais she knows how to destroy it but actually never tell you how. She is trying the best she can to mentally tell you how, but you do not receive anything… Haha.

The second thing is obviously ‘’legendary searing effigy’’ where my obsession and demands for answers started hurting my head. Why legendary? Based on the conversations he was created the same day we got there to destroy it. There is nothing legendary about him. Sure he was created, but its not a legend until we have spoken of the effigy and more than 7 people (5 party, 2 npcs) have seen it and know what it can do etc etc.

Sorry but I am bothered. ^^ Too much p1 recently maybe!

Best,
Fred

Totally serious, when will you be able to hug your wife, get a house and kid – all in gw2!?

Gaile Gray.6028:

Our development team reviews play input on a regular basis. They are aware of this suggestion, but have not yet reached a decision on what changes, if any, they will make to targeting.

There is a lot going on right now with the upcoming event, but after that, the team will take a look at a lot of different game elements, and may make some changes in the future.

Sorry I don’t have more specific information, but you can be sure this is not being ignored or rejected without due consideration.

Thanks for understanding.

It’s annoying as kitten to right-click to turn around and by accident leave target because you right-clicked on a kitten teammate. That’s reason enough to make an option to disable right-click targeting.

Suggestion

1) Remove all outfits available at certain ranks from the rank ladder.
Argument: You know who to defeat first in hot join/tourneys based on the looks of that character.

2) Make all outfit parts available for a certain amount of glory from glory vendors.
Argument: If you play actively you can achieve a curtain amount of glory to purchase the parts you’d like. It will also bring more reasons to continue playing PvP instead of looking at all at curtain Ranks with their awesome outfits and get discouraged just by looking at them and their endless played hours in PvP.

3) Remove Mystic Forge from the Mists.
Argument: Stuff salvaged for materials stack up in bag and takes up necessary space.

Thank you. I will probably add more to this in the future.

Surprised Jonathan haven’t replied yet with something like; “We know the warrior class is broken and will be our first priority when coming to classbalancing.”

It’s basically the same programming. If you use Shadowstep (utility) and then Shadowshot (wep) and choose to shadowstep back to Shadowstep (utility) you shadowstep back to Shadowshot (wep) starter location. You with me?

RanTiannai.1592:

You are also not the originator of this thread, who gives a different impression. It’s still a PvE reward, so i’m not sure why you’d want it for PvP. I don’t get glory for doing PvE things, so why would you want Laurels for doing PvP things. I don’t complain about not getting glory either, because I make the choice not to participate in PvP. That’s the crux.

WvW should be balanced like sPvP. Remove badges of honor and replace it with glory. Click these to together and bring laurels here as well and we’ll be fine. WvW is a sPvP thing as well. Why is the PvP maps showing WvW locations if it’s not intended for balanced wars. WvW should be about skill, not about (I got the highest level gear which I grinded for 1000 hours to get).

Point being…
1) Glory should be spread over WvW as well
2) sPvP and WvW should be a part of eachother the way sPvP is balanced.
3) Laurels in a fair amount for us to take part of too in sPvP with our dailies.
4) Glory for PvE too for killing mobs.

Stealth is broken in so many ways. And I’ve done the same things swinsk.6410 has as well with the cnd – when thinking I’m revealed and not still in stealth. Annoying. And yes the THief class is balanced but need tweaks to stable the gameplay.

This thread is for discussing the fact that the game is programmed to follow-target into stealth. Not discussing ways to avoid it like we’re noobs who are getting killed while in stealth.
AoE’s are suppose to hit everything within the cirkle while single target attacks are supposed to be interrupted by going in stealth. It’s not game-breaking. It’s an exploit just like the previously fixed elementalist lightning-target exploit.

THey should be as big as norns!

I want a norn asura! That would be sooooooo epic! And yes, it’s a serious suggestion. There’s a lot of cosmetic improvements to be made so please include this!

Kruhljak.2705:

On the face of it, IMO, stealth should break targeting, and any effect that would logically need an active target to continue its effect. Then again, I haven’t plotted out how overpowered that might be—and it very well might be.

Well it’s not fair for people using stealth that the skill cycle continues. Going stealth should interrupt targeting/skills in use. Now I can see the reason for this being intended if it is — because IRL I wouldn’t stop shooting at a target if it goes invisible because I’d still locate it for 1-3 seconds after stealth. But GW2 doesn’t have this “IRL Realistic Human Reaction” thinking. Targeting an invisible target for 5-10 seconds (Shadow Refuge) isn’t cool for thieves or some other profession with stealthiness abilities. (Or being stealth’d by others)

Thief stealth skill is broken in so many ways. I’m trying to be flexible, using different builds instead of running hardcore meta builds as thief but seriously; thieves and mesmers, engineers and even rangers (?) must have the same problem I am speaking of. People still locking target on you while you go stealth. Still there’s no way to have an honest battle with a necro for example which drains your hp while in stealth just because he kept your target locked before entering stealth. This saddens me so much. Why is this occuring anet? Is this intended? If so, then this thread is legit and deserves to stay and raise attention to this topic.

Would it be much to ask of you guys to keep yourself to the topic? It’s fine sharing your personal opinions but debating over the same subject is unhealthy for this thread and will probably force it to be closed. So please, post your thoughts and leave it there. And no offensive replies please!

Cannot hide crafting with the filter feature as shown on image. Everything else works fine except for the crafting.

Forest Of Niflhel

Would be nice if you guys could add some dusk/rain to this map.

Legacy Of Foefire

Would be nice if this map were night instead.

Battle of Kyhlo

Would be nice if this map were day.

Temple

Good as it is. Though some heavy snow wouldn’t look too shabby.

Raid of the Capricorn

This map can be removed.

These changes will give pvp a fresh feel even for just a week. Any thoughts?
