Guild Wars 2

I don’t know why but I hate the “toon”. My characters are not toons, they are characters.

Capes are stupid.

I have to say that I really don’t like these changes. It seems that my whole playing style has to change.

-Gathering will be so annoying that it will be pretty much impossible.
-I can no longer play when I want, have to make a schedule to kill the bosses. It also makes the world feel a lot less dynamic.
-Travelling around the world will be very annoying, two teleports instead of one.
-Temples.. no idea how these are even doable after the change.

Yes, you already can read the forums without logging in. Only posting needs logging.

So if you say that they should do X and I say that they should do the opposite of X, which feedback should they listen?

Oh and I like the change btw :P

There used to be one in Soutsun Cove on top of the spiral behind champ karka, but it was removed long time ago.

I have a bad feeling about this…

Yes, seems to be working now, yay!

This would be a perfect time to change LA to be a player/guild housing zone in addition to other services!

Let us buy spots from that ruined city and rebuild it that way:)

Really? You think? With 20 million or so fans of their games? Why wouldn’t they subscribe?

Are you talking about Elder Scrolls? Sure I am Elder Scroll fan, but I am not a fan of Elder Scrolls Online. That game has nothing to do with the single player sandbox rpg series.

Same thing happening to me daily. Using Firefox.

It used to do that sometimes before too but simple reload always helped, but lately it has started to require cookie deleting.

Well, they gave this announcement. According to that you should be using them before patch.

I’d like to be an Ooze.

Nope, I don’t miss trinity.

“That’s no moon!”

Things like that should be purely RP-things. No anykind of bonuses, boosts or changes in the game mechanics. Some kind of title would be ok, but anything more than that and the system would just be abused/cheated/exploited so much and possibly make players feel that they should be married to someone just to get these boosts.

Do you mean like:
-Buy a chest for 100 gems
-Get crap you don’t need but is worth 100 gems
-Sell crap for 100 gems
-Buy another chest for 100 gems
-Repeat until you get what you need, total cost 100 gems.

That would kinda ruin the whole idea of gambling chests

KarlaGrey.5903:

People judging players’ worth by the amount of APs remind me of people judging player skill on GW1 by the amount of HoM points they’ve collected – neither are as much elitist as they are dumb.
That said, some networking or joining a pve guild should help you solve the issue at hand.

I judge people with AP not because it’s the best metric to rely on but it’s the best available.

Who is more likely to not know dungeons? The guy with +10k AP or the one with 1K AP? 95% of the time it’s going to be the latter.

I have a bit over 9k AP and I’ve never been in a dungeon except Arah story mode. I guess that would be the 5% situation then. :P

Did you switch the UI scale to small? It is broken like that. Messes up the font in the market.

Inq.4256:

Ok, so if 50 go blue, 50 go red and 26 go to green and blue and red are killed but green isn’t killed, does this mean the ones at blue and red get chances for cores while the poor saps at green get stuck out with zero chance for anything?

I ask because I was one of the ones that spent 14 min at green with the other 25 folks and we at green came away empty handed, zero loot.

Correct, it means that. And it also means that no one will be doing the holo.

Blade Syphon.4325:

…All I can really say is I’m glad I already killed the World Boss that follows the Knights.

Because it seems like if you missed doing it before this patch, your chances of seeing it have gone out the window.

Yeah, same old rule again, do everything in first two days. And I’m glad too that I did. Probably won’t see holo fight ever again.

Too bad for those who missed the start. :/

I dunno, but for some reason I have a feeling that we won’t be seeing the hologram fight very often now. I still haven’t seen a succesful splitted kill and now this change when people are already starting to lose interest in the fight?

I hope my feeling is wrong.

Azurite Orbs.

I crashed once last night and it was too at the green knight

Shop smart, shop S-Mart.

Indeed, I heard they sell nice boomsticks there.

Ameepa.6793:

Oh I didn’t complain about missing the loot as I just wanted to get through the portal.

But anyway, I have a feeling that these knights have to have loot good enough to make sure that people are doing them for the whole duration because you cannot enter the final fight without killing them. Without good enough loot, people would probably ignore the knights after few days, just like every “too time consuming for the rewards” part of any LS so far, making it impossible to experience the final fight.

What you do is you give the scarlet holo chest really good rewards, not the knights. People will still do A to get to B. But right now A has generally better rewards than B while B takes more effort. If there was a popup at the end that gave extra champ loot then that would be fine imo.

So failing the hologram fight would mean that you would get pretty much nothing for that wasted hour. That’s quite a risk to consider for those who are doing things only for loot. Oh and the amount of blaming and flaming when/if it fails…

One more possible location is under the Asura Gate hub waypoint/island.

It’s not a big deal, you made a mistake, just try it again. Should go fine next time. Mistakes happen every now and then, don’t get too upset about them.

Edit:
You can even enter the final stage to try again without doing the knights and hologram if you have the spinal back piece.

Well I dunno about too much loot.. killed 6 knights last night and got loot from one so it is total 5 boxes from 6 kills so I think it is fine.

priestizzle.5940:

Would like an Anet post on issues with these two achievements seeing as I’m stuck on 14/15 for this LS and it’s becoming very frustrating (I would say screw it if people would actually split the zerg on the knights 1/3rd at each so I could get the 6 min knight achievement, but that wont happen.)

You do know that dailies count for meta?

Finding chained-up Faren, hmm.. are you on this quest?
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Welcome_Home

It is happening in Salma District which is actually part of personal quest chain and a personal home zone. So you both probably are in different “instances”. You might have started a part of a quest without realizing it.

Try to leave Salma Disctrict and see what happens? And when you have to go to Salma again, group up somewhere else in the city before entering the district.

Thanks for the thread by the way! First time I hear about the whole March sale thing.

I really support this idea! Lots of leftover stuff taking space in my bank. I’m quite sure that those will not be needed again, but not that sure that I dare to throw them away. I want especially that proof part from that idea

Ooh maybe some donation NPC to accept them when season 1 is over to make a memorial statue or something :P

Does the game really need even more encouragement to play pure dps builds and zerging?

Just as a hint for future releases, you should always try to get all non-soloable achievements done during the first two days as it gets a lot harder to get them done later.

Edit:
Oh and luckily there is no real harm even if you don’t get all the achievements because you can still get the meta achi done with the dailies.

This section is mostly haunted by those with vested interests.
The only real benefit of flipping/speculating/etc outside of a gold sink is of the individual capitalizing from it, not the game as a whole.
Relying so heavily on the tp gold sink for curbing inflation is a rather “lazy approach”.
There are many cons that the current system inflicts upon the whole game to rely on such a gold sink method. ( I could expand on this, as I have in the past, but find it is mostly a waste of time given the majority audience in this section)

You make it sound like the gold sink is a minor benefit.

I disagree – it is a huge benefit that is more important to the game by being included than without. Any negatives related to prioritizing gold sinks are miniscule compared to having a game without gold sinks.

I in no way think it’s minor. I just think that there can and should be better alternatives that do not have such a sweeping effect on gameplay (playing content outside of the tp) rewards.

Well what kind of gold sinks in game should we have that will be as effective as the TP?

I cannot think of anything that will sink just as frequently and encompassing across the population than the TP.

How about bumping Waypoint fees up to 3g per use?
:P

And repairs and trait respecs to 5g :P

Magnus Steelgrave.6580:

What they should do is just add a 5% additional sales tax every 500 full listings you sell. And I don’t mean to include direct sales in that either… just items listed like say you list 50 iron… if that all sells or if you pull it off the tp then that’s 1… etc…

Soo, after 5000 sold items (or stacks) you would have 50% additional sales tax? Yeah, sounds great.

Wiki has a good listing of every event for each zone:

Lots of longer chains lead to world bosses. You can track them with timers for example from this site, just choose your server and enjoy

Spearguns would not work on land and tridents are indeed like staves.

Spear is a strange weapon. It is not great two handed weapon on land and in one hand it should always be paired with a shield like this. Which would be cool.

No, people do not get punished if they own shares of something that they use. If I buy Google’s shares, I won’t get banned from their services. :P

I don’t use any social media so I’ll just follow them on this site.

I always try to help downed players if it is possible, but I’ve pretty much stopped ressing the dead in the middle of a group fight. It takes forever to ress dead ones in combat and usually there is so much going on that you will get blasted with AoEs while doing that or get more respawns on you.

If I go down, I of course try to rally and if I die, I waypoint immediately. I’m really not expecting anyone to waste time ressing me, or my own time just laying there dead when it is just faster for everyone to WP and run back. It is not sensible if every death in a group combat takes two people out of the fight for a long time, the dead one and the resser. Downed ones can be ressed in few second so no problem there.

In normal out world stuff I ress everything that I see, dead or downed.

Most annoying underwater are Krait. First you see one, then three more suddenly appears out of nowhere, they all stay scattered around and have that pulling harpoon attack with about 10 seconds cooldown. Chain pulled every 5 seconds all over the ocean. :P

Hehe came here to see if someone else has this problem too..

My favorite group size so far has been 4 man groups in Swtor. 1 tank, 1 healer, 2 dps.
Quick and easy to get together and go straight to action without waiting anyone going afk and so on. Even pugs worked very well with a group that small.

Lotro has 6 man groups and in my opition they are already too large, but it still works in that game because they kinda have four roles (or had) in there. 1 tank, 1 healer, 3 dps, 1 support. Yes, support was a real role in there.

What would be the point of 8 man group without roles meaning that there would just be 8 dps? Why would that be better than 5 man dps groups?
I have a feeling that it would just be messy, confusing with lots of downtime and make pugging quite impossible.

Hmm I think that the explosion will create a mystic black hole that will suck in every single piece of equipment and crafting material still left in the world. Even the ones we have in ours banks and the ones we are wearing. After that it will spit out one Major Rune of Rage and disappear.

The question is that are those requirements really needed?

It is very common that as soon as something new is in a game, the “elite” players make up some rules and requiremets and believe that they are absolutely necessary to complete it and drive away everyone who are not doing as they say.

Then almost always after a while all kinds of “naked kill”, “kill with 0 talent points!” and “20 man content 10 manned!” videos and threads start to appear. Proving that the original requirements were totally unnecessary and the only thing that really was needed was practice.

thaooo.5320:

If people don’t follow your righteous god-given orders, try these tips:

- TYPE IN CAPSLOCK
- Swear a lot
- Abuse everyone present
- Tell everyone in /m ‘this run has failed’, at the start of it
- Tell everyone in /m they made it fail by sucking at the game
- Tell people to never come back to the event
- Yell out “UNINSTALL NOOBS!!1!1!1!!”

These simple tips will earn you the respect you deserve for having bought (not earned) your commander tag.

I too recommend this. It is the most popular style to lead so it must be working great, right?

Also if the situation is really serious, like some selfish noobs killing a champ in queensdale at wrong time, you can try insulting their mothers for a while. That should teach them who is the boss around here and what being a commander means!

Subscription model is dead. At least for me. I’ll never again start to play anything that requires a subscription. Paying over 150 euros per year after seeing Buy to Play or F2P models in games these days? never.
