Guild Wars 2

sinzer.4018:

I don’t have any problems with time-gating or anything, my problem is the limited ways to acquire it. It arbitrarily reduces player choice.

The sad thing is that there is no player choice in gear treadmills. There may be different options but it is never “play how you want” like it has been here so far.

Gear based games are always “play this way or don’t play at all.”

Helicity.3416:

Serious question, what about the players who do not enjoy crafting, have never crafted?

Well.. basically they are screwed.

It’s the same with every gear treadmill in every MMO and unfortunatelly it’s happening here too.
“if you don’t do X, you can’t get gear to get more gear later.”

I have never had a birthday gift in MMO before. I think it is nice that we get something.

At the moment they seem to be useless. You don’t even need to have them with you if you go to playhouse. But it would be great to know if they have some purpose later or can we just delete them. They are eating four slots in the bank. :P

Pixelpumpkin.4608:

I finally understand the mechanics of the Shatterer.
I didn’t even know he had mechanics until today.

Oh yes he has a mechanic. It goes like this. Land → – Roar roar → fly fly → roar roar → fly fly → roar roar → poop chest.

I’d like to see them attack each other. Would be great to see Shatterer annihilating some Invaders. But they would probably learn to stand on a stone and spam confusion on poor old Shatterer.

Yeah, Mad King and Scarlet would be quite awesome duo :P

Awwww man! Y’all know what that means!

Time for a CRAZY-OFF!

Mad King is crazy. Scarlet is crazy smart. But if making them a couple is the only way to get a Clockwork Clocktower JP, then I say in the wise words of Jean-Luc Picard: “Make it so.”

Oooh.. that’s like a start of some very epic joke. “Mad King and Scarlet were aboard starship Enterprise and went to see Jean-Juc Picard..”

Well humans have a habit to harm nature so maybe this time nature is striking back!

Yeah charrs and inquest are ways more echo-friendly.

Yep

MegaManExpert.8413:

For some reason I have the image of her at one point falling in love with Trahearne…

Oooh that would explain a lot. She met Trehearne and.. well.. now she is insane.

AntiGw.9367:

Who wants to make an in-game guild for worshipping Baphomet?

We will be doing mass bunny sacrifice rituals by using dagger elementalists. Also dancing. One of our ultimate ascention goals would be to acquire the unholy staff.

And the name of the guild would be The men who stare at goats?

I’m just curious why completing and or failing the invasion is so big deal? Only the “kill scarlet during an invasion” achievement requires actually finishing an invasion once. Other than that, there really is no difference and scarlet kills still happen quite often. Invasions seems to have about 50% success rate.

Keep in mind that unlike temples and other events, invasions cannot “fail”. The invading forces are always succesfully pushed back even if scarlet is not beaten. They are always completed.

Wukis.8350:

is there any way to check in which maps you have already been?

Pen and paper

Ayrilana.1396:

Did you do the story instance first?

As far as invasion canceler, the achievement says DIFFERENT maps.

Yes, and looks like that Vorpp’s achievement requires different maps too even tho it does not say so. Just did the fifth new one and got it.

Yep, same here. Got it to 3/5 yesterday and now I’ve done three invasions today and it is now 4/5. Two of the invasions were on the same maps as yesterday and one new and only that new one counted. So, it does not accept two invasions on the same map? That kinda makes it last longer.. :P

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

Nah, titles mean nothing to me. They’re just unneccessary clutter.

It’s sooo cool to scream bad words anonymously in the internet!

Its not. But when some random dude starts trash talking because you killed him 5 times in a row and its you who gets banned for placing him where he belongs, that’s kinda sad. Doesn’t anet read what was said? Don’t they see its the other guy who started? All i did was putting him where he belongs. A country start ww3, will some1 blame another country defending themselves? oh wait i could just report that country and move on,,,,,,,,, boooooring.

All you did was to prove you can be a bigger potty mouth than the one who started it lowering yourself to their immature level, or lower.

It teaches them to no open their mouth after being killed multiple times by the same player. I’m a teacher, have some respect~!

Eh, do you really believe that some jerk suddenly stops being a jerk if you swear back at them?

It’s sooo cool to scream bad words anonymously in the internet!

Random number generator

And I want all weapons to behave like Cobalt and turn off their effects when sheathed.

I really hate capes.

I didn’t even know that it is out of style. I’m not a native English speaker and here we are taught UK English, not American, so “amongst” sounds just fine to me.

But I love JPs, they’re great fun!

Don’t forget the Gaurdians!

Ricky Da Man.5064:

funny it seemed pretty static the 30 mins I stood and watched

Well maybe they have changed that like everything else in Orr too. I took it solo with four characters but it has been something like two months since the last one.

It used to do a little patrolling route back and forth that platform where the point is and also down the stairs far enough to be able to crab the point without aggroing. Just had to kill the normal mobs next to the point.

Jake.1842:

I’ve done 100% world completion on 2 characters completely solo. Just avoid the tougher group events and it’s pretty simple.

Nice, how was the champ guarding the skill point south of shelter in CS?

It’s a roamer. You can get the point without aggroing it at all.

Took me about 15 minutes without any food/buff cheats or other exploits. I guess I was just lucky.

I used the signature skill that gives a buff to next water heal when he was pretty low and I was able to endure his signature spam long enough.

Every class I play needs a buff! Except when they are played by someone else. Then they all are overpowered and need a nerf.

Soloplayer without a guild here too since launch. Well, I do have my own one man guild for the storage.

I decided to try something different this time after years of hardcore raiding and “socializing” in MMOs. I just grew tired of that all. Now I have not even done any dungeons.

I didn’t even know that this one was so solo friendly game when I started and made my decision. Have to say that I’m positively suprised how well this style works here. Happily playing every day.

I hate capes…

Maybe some day you will learn that using bad words in the internet is not as cool as you think it is.

Well, before Karka Queen there were people here in the forums asking for harder world bosses so that they would require large coordinated groups and more work to kill. Even without better rewards. They got one. Seems to be very popular.

Be careful what you wish for because you might get it.

Hamfast.8719:

Some look okay. I despise outsized weapons (although that is not limited to Legendaries). Most are ruined by the outrageous particle effects. The “footprints” are especially stupid. And I don’t want an “aura” all the time hiding my nice armor. Until they make some truly purty weapons without all the overdone FX, then maybe I will consider working for one. (Special sounds might be a nice effect, or do some already have that?)

My opinion. You asked.

My thoughts exactly.

Two huge walls of text with lots of math to show the fact that PVT has more survivability than Zerker and Zerker has more dps than PVT? Gee, who would have guessed!

That film noir cutscene with Marjory was really great! I tried to repeat it immediately and was disappointed that it did not play again. :P

Depends on whether they are European or African mail birds.

2000 regular coffins and… finally got a ticket! At least it won’t feel like a complete waste now.

About 1500 regular coffers now. No ticket.

If they add something like this, I hope they also add an option to remove the effects from weapons. Including legendaries. I hate all effects

About 600 regular coffers, no ticket.

Looks great except the oversized GS. Why of why those things always has to be huge Anime-swords :P

Ebonhawke has done pretty well so I think Divinity’s defense style would be pretty OK too.

Having old fashioned raids in game means automatically a lot less content for majority of playerbase which is not a good thing. Raiders are a minority, but developing a raid eats a huge amount of work hours.

Let’s say they use 1000 work hours for a content patch. Now it means that everything created in those 1000 hours will be playable for the whole playerbase. If there would be a raid, 600 hours would go into that and it would only be seen by maybe 20% of players and the rest 80% (non-raiders) would be left with only 400 hours worth of content.

That is one of the reasons why raids are slowly disappearing in MMOs that are not purely based only on raiding like WoW was in its prime.

Also raids split playerbase in two, raiders and non-raiders. Raiders would not be satisfied without good enough rewards (better stats) and after a raid or two the gap between the two groups would be huge. Soon everything would be playable only for raiders purely because they have better gear and everything has to be balanced for that gear. Even though non-raiders are a majority, they still become second class citizens, they are not allowed to do anything.

This has happened so many times before.

I’ve been doing these events since launch and never missed a chest BUT lately I’ve been playing some on another (slower) computer and it has happened that the chest is just not drawn on the ground but it still is there and is lootable, just invisible. Search option pops up normally when I go where the chest is supposed to be.

Have you checked that this is not the case with you too?

There is a very good /facepalm in Swtor

Gaiyeerishima Cat.1082:

Is there anything I can do about this besides just suck it up? I really wanted at least one of those weapons, and now it looks like I’ll never be able to get one :/

You can buy more boxes!

Dante.1508:

It will be GW2 Birthday RNG boxes for 1200 gems.

This would be my guess too :P

Player housing and fishing!
