Erasculio.2914:

I don’t like the hearts either. As Diogo said above, they feel very much like the worst quests in every other MMORPG; with the difference (admitedly an improvement) that instead of it being just a matter of “go kill ten rats”, it’s a matter of “kill some rats and/or press F here and there”.

The issue is that the area without hearts also happen to have the worst events in the game. A limitation of hearts is that they lock part of the world – if a heart asks people to feed Ted’s cows and take care of his crops, we can’t have a Dynamic Event in which Ted and his cows would be driven away, with the zone overtaken by ninja zombies from Cantha. But Orr never uses this – the potential is there, but the events in Orr are the worst in the game, with very little story and no meaningful change in the world other than the constant “this camp has been taken/this camp has been lost” or the statues (which are more annoyances to get rid of than cool things to deal with).

ArenaNet should, IMO, not add hearts to new zones, but work instead in ways to communicate lore. This could be done through good dynamic events (there are many great examples), or through ambient dialogue (the Bazaar is great in this aspect), or through many other means (like the book carts in Divinity’s Reach).

^this, imo i agree with you, hearts should improve tenfolds in a way that they will involve game lore and let us be a part of events happening around us through doing heart quests. basically vastly improved than what it is now.

Even if hearts werent intended why remove them now? They added alot of quality to the game and had a unique twist on the normal questing system seen in most mmos and if they dont add hearts to new zones then i might as well quit the game because what do i do then?

Stroll aimlessly until i happen upon an dynamic event? Sorry but i dislike dynamic events,

i want ti be able to look on my map to find that heart then go to it and explore there all while completing my heart at the same time.

Please dont stop adding heart quests arena net they are a core of the games quest system and work well together with dynamic events because some of them are tied to the heart themselves(edas apple orchis dynamic event and heart) sorry for the longpost.

Dra Keln.2015:

I don’t remember the interview I saw it in, but Collin said any new zones would likely be Orr style, with no hearts. They only had hearts in the first place because alpha test groups said they needed more direction and couldn’t figure out what to do without them

I highly doubt that colin said that in an interview because hearts are the core of the questing systems in gw2 they arent guide posts or meant to direct you anywhere, they are meant to make you feel a connection to the area and earn some exp and coin and karma at the same time.

I just ask if ppl is loosing they’re mind or something…seriously!!!
The World is going just crazy and we are allowing it!!

I realy can’t figure how something cultural and Lore related,that just occur in a fantasy world created for a fantasy game, can offend or annoy real ppl in real world !

I wonder if that kind of ppl don’t know or ever red this!!:

agreed man.. agreed.. it is indeed very.. VERY sad to see how they react when obviously there is even a disclaimer that says its all fictional!! and yet somone was opposed to the idea of cantha being reintroduced into gw2.. =/

FINALLY! thankgod for an answer.. i didnt know how long i would have to BUMP thanks for clearing that issue up for me^^

bring up my post

Bring up my post

Hi,

I dont know where this belongs, since its not technically a bug but just a minor issue with how necro skills work. I use scepter/dagger.

I noticed when i start attacking stuff with skill 2 or 5 i just stand there(normally i would start autoattacking if it were any other class, Guardian using leap of faith and autoattacking directly after that) and dont do anything until i manually press 1 to begin autoattacking,

This FORCES me to always begin attacking with number 1 and not any other skills because then i would just stand around like an idiot before i press anything else.. and im just not accustomed to pressing 1 so many times..

especially when i already initiated an attack on my target, in this case skill 4 or 5 and i shouldnt have to press 1 again! and before you ask, yes autoattack is enabled on skill number 1. any ideas why this happens? is it a bug or not? can it please be fixed?

Thanks!

Bump this dissapointing to hear. But any screenshots for proof? You cant really claim something is wrong with the gauntlets without posting some evidence. Also maybe its only you that sees that these gauntlets effects arent what you expected and other peoe are fine with it. So if you expect Anet to fix this then post screenshots ^^

Yeah you’re right i dont like the fact that it only glows in one spot =/

Wow that picture on the left makes the size difference really really visible and sad to say it looks ugly. . . . =(

nicknamenick.2437:

Yup same for the dagger!! also smaller on main-hand (but its harder to see because its already very small) but still you see difference!

Ah i see.. No wonder i couldnt notice it.. Sux wiah it can be properly fixed soon

Yeah it sucks =/ btw dows this graphical bug apply to all charr weapons? I have a dagger/dagger charr and i havent really noticed size problems with both of my daggers but alas i wasnt paying much attention either. So can anyone clear that up for me? Thanks

Yeah it sucks =/

Scoobaniec.9561:

My theory is:

They did reduce side of swords for charrs to not let them clip into ground, but they forgot to do the same for offhand.

Perhaps this is so. In which case it should be remied asap i hope..

I saw the thread and im bumping this because personally i see a big issue with the differences in weapon size when equipped as mainhand and offhand. And i would like to see this solved asap(weapon sizes should remain same wether in mainhand or in offhand)
BUMP

LOL.. if Anet gave out free kites to everyone who spent gems since the launch of gw2 and not within the last month guess how many? a LOT.. Anet would be making imo huge financial losses than gaining something.. besides they aim to promote the kites hence the limit. i also did not get a kite due to spending gems in july not june but thats my tough luck and i dealt with it. Deal with it^^

there are 3 types of kites, they only gave away 1 type

I still see this as a promotion and possibly a teaser, like “hey, we’ll give you this to try it if you like it check out the other types~” so yeah promotion^^

The other month i received the dragonbash minis because i purchased gems between launch and 9th june.

Anyway, i find complaining about this funny. Let’s say you go to the shop to buy something and it’s ‘buy one get one free’. The following week it’s not. Would you complain if you missed it and only got 1? Would you say you deserved the extra one because you’ve been going to that shop for a long time?

I am aware of them having given out free minis to people who purchased gems as well but like this time, back then there also was a month limit and theres a reason they do it; for promotion. i doubt they would want to bankrupt themselves by giving out freebies to everyone who ever bought gems since launch of gw2. So with that said the thread just becomes pointless and op is complaining.

Sigil of Paralyzation on mace, whatever you want on shield, and either an on crit proc for GS like Fire or Strength or you can get a flat bonus on stunned/disabled targets by 10%.

How is this build compared to berserkerz 30/0/0/30/10 in terms of damage? Still decent? Or way too low? I would
appreciate an answer thanks!

It would be noticeably lower.

Okay thanks =)
Then is it possible to run a beserker build with survivalists gear? Basically i want to keep high dps while maintaininh a good defence (toughness+vitality) and i dont want to rely on dodging^^

You kinda have to dodge..

Hmm okay does that imply that beserkers are generally squishy and makea them have to dodge every second?

Tyrion.4259:

If you want to solo and be tanky you need to gear to have conditions fall off you so you can keep that beautiful knights gear.

Here’s what I have, and I have been WvW’ing effectively as a solo type with an occasional buddy.

All knights gear. The new meta, as you might have read on other posts, is Greatsword, Mace/Shield.

The key here are three pieces for conditions; Dogged March in defense, Lemongrass food (-40% condition duration), and either Melandru Runes or Hoelbrak Runes. I prefer Hoelbrak because it knocks down condition duration 20% AND gives might stack duration increase that goes very well with the Greatsword 20 trait in Arms. 20% + 33% +40% = 93% condition duration reduction on immobilizes. That is simply huge. The other stuff bounces off as well; 60% is nothing to laugh about.

You have some choices to make; in order to gain adrenaline the best way as I see it is to pick up cleansing ire anyways. You might ask why would you do that when you have conditions bounce off; well, it’s not for that really; it’s for the adrenaline gain. And, you get burst mastery to make it so you can switch every 5 seconds and land that skullcrack immediately and not be pressed for adrenaline. You COULD go with missile reflection, which I personally have used. Hilarious when you make a warrior with a rifle shoot themselves for 14k (yes I did that) or have a mesmer render phantasms on themselves.

You get 3k armor even with Hoelbrak instead of Melandru.

The 20 mark in Discipline is up for debate as well. I personally run with Destruction of the Empowered since I just go with Balanced Stance instead of Dolyak since I don’t have signet mastery. It’s debatable honestly. I sometimes switch it so SoR is up faster but with Unsuspecting Foe (10 in arms) you crit like crazy when the opponent is stunned.

You also need Berserker’s Stance against thieves and necros. You might say conditions bounce off you; however, the smart necros eat food that increases condition duration by 40% so it will be challenging without it. Berserker’s stance eats through the thief’s blind and the necro’s conditions. It’s great to pop when you want to win. Oh, and engineer’s that use the pistol suffer as well.

The spec and gear.

FYI – THIS IS NOT MY SPEC. This has been crafted by many smart and competent warriors on previous posts (like BurrKing). I’ve just added my two cents to it to fit my personal playstyle.

Wouls this build als be suitable in endgame pve? Roght now my warrior has abeserkee trait build 30/0/0/30/10
And im goong to seg up with knights armor instead of berserkers but should i switch to the build you posted instead? Like op im also looking for an evenly balanced build for survival thanks for help

ellen kiel i vote for you~~~! (want her as a minipet so badly)

Monkey Fritz.9052:

There is already clipping with staff and greatsword, so they might as well just make them visible. Players can always choose to turn off the back item if the clipping bugs them.

Monkey Fritz.9052:

All back items are ‘removed’ when a shield is stowed on your back. It’s not really a bug. It’s always been that way.

They are also removed when engineer kits are equipped, which is considerably more ‘appearance’ breaking.

Shield using engineers basically never see their back pieces.

It’s something that should be ‘fixed’ somehow, but short of constant clipping issues, feel free to suggest some way the devs could do it without it looking worse.
Entering combat, so that the shield is in your hand, should reveal the back piece. In the options you can keybind a button to draw/sheath your weapons. I use it all the time so I can actually see the shattered wings on my engi.

Okay thanks for the tip, and as for suggestions i suggest the Devs find a way to make the backpiece exsist at the same time as the shield on the back so that they do not touch eachother in any way..

and also no clipping as i saw the windcatcher skin could actually nestle quite well under the sheathed shield on my characters back because theres plenty of space under that shield for a backpiece..

so in this way you could have both backpiece and shield on your back without them interfereing with eachother.

Franklin Fhenrir.4962:

remove the backpack from the slot and re apply it. had this problem with my quiver to. otherwise try to hide and show it back and forth

I tried that before, it didnt work but i’ll keep trying^^

last time i put on the shatterer wings on my asura they were equipped way below the shoulders so it really looked weird.. as if the wings were sagging down and about to fall off at any moment.. also there was this “backward flapping” animation on the shatterer wings, has this been fixed now? many people said that the wings look like they are flapping in reverse instead of flapping and this bothered them. i’ll check on my asura later to see how it got “fixed”.

Athares.2506:

when you take your shield on, it covers your back piece. I dont know why it also covers holographic wings, arent these holographic? Also, animation of windcatcher, shouldnt be visible too?

yeah thats what happens to me too.. i think the windcatcher should still be visibe even with the shield on your back because the windcatcher is a backpiece and not a replacement for the shield. . .
also yes the windcatcher is visible again when i unsheathe the sword and shield but thats beside the point^^ i run with my equipment sheathed 99% of the time so i want to see the windcatcher animation on my sword/shield set when im not in combat i urge you to fix this Anet.

BUMP please reply.. this is gamebreaking for me..

did something happen to the shattere wing animations? i didnt notice anything..

it happens to me too only on personal story cutscene dialogues so far

here are two images each with different gear equipped. one with a gs and windcatcher skin and one with shield and windcatcher skin. The windcatcher doesnt appear at all when the shield is equipped.. is this a bug or intenitional? can it be fixed?^^

Thanks

Hello,

I would just like to say, i love all the catcher skins! ^^ but i love the windcatcher one the most but i have been having a problem =( i hope these attached screenshots can provide some clarity.

this is something i was wondering about as well.. its really odd =/

i have been discussing this with several of my guildmembers and we all came to the conclusion that it would just be wrong to not include cantha, lorewise we would logically have to witness what happened to cantha 250 years after the events of gw1.

Omitting cantha and Elona would be a huge mistake! as it would be throwing out a part of history that made up gw1. I’m sure most of us want gw2 to be a continuation of gw1 as much as possible in terms of lore and story.

So please reconsider putting back in Cantha.

I for one would like to know what happened to Shingjea island ^^

sell stuff on the Tradingpost, complete events. farm mobs. make materials or weapons by crafting and sell them on the TP(bags,rune etc..)
There are also many other ways besides the ones i mentioned be creative^^

Last time I crafted something to sell I LOST money.

well i cannot say much about that but i did do it alot in the past and i made more money than i had when i crafted the stuff.. i think when you want to do this the best is to craft something that doesnt cost that much materials and also sells for a decent amount on the tp^^
