Guild Wars 2

1) the patch is not really very big as far as patches go (e.g. Swtor, aion have bigger patches, heck even shadow of mordor has bigger patches… last one was 1gb+)
2) patches not very frequent
3) you can’t compare fixes with patches
4) the points is: it’s not Anet’s fault.

what would you suggest they do? Upload a single file every day (even if that’s possible, which I don’t think it is)? So you would have to d/l stuff every day… and with a bad connection I don’t think that would be fun.

I don’t get the “must!play!nao!” mentality: there’s no monthly fee, so just download the * thing and play when you can.

Moreover, fine, it took 5 hours to d/l… but this is permanent content so is it really that big of a problem to start playing through it a day later?

+1 to this. Make this happen please

’nuff said, close this 3d, thanks.

sorry, the what now?

see forums—> Gw2 discussion—>Pre-release teasers for today’s patch! lots of info there.

The new armor looks awesome!

@Louveepine.7630

Awesome concepts!! It would be really cool to have backpieces like those

no, thanks, unless there’s an option to make a player perma invulnerable if he doesn’t want this kind of stuff.

It would cause too much grief.

@Konig

It would be EPIC!!! Although I fear the devs should revamp Lunatic Inquisition because, as is, it’s just a pain to go through.

Because, you know, you’re leveling up so… it’s EPIC! /blowout :P

Seriously now, is it really THAT annoying for you? ^^"

no please, there would be even less things to do on alts!! (I already wish I could reset all explorer/dungeon,… achievs for my characters except my main ^^"").

To OP, what you mean is, “I would like to waypoint easy with different characters”, not walk :P

My point was exactly that for most players the changes would be lost :P isn’t it what happens irl?

As for the 2 weeks (@dgenxp.4983), I just meant it as in “whenenever there’s a patch”, I know the devs can’t upload something every 2 weeks (certainly they won’t implement a patch bi-weekly just a for a building in LA :’D)

sorudo.9054:

you wanna know why it takes so long?
the workers are so dumb that they don’t even know how to use a tool properly, i even have prove.
they hit rock with the side of the pickaxe, not with the pointy part -_-

Lol’d a lot at this, thank you

my 2c on this is: they should rebuild it slowly, maybe a single building at a time (one with every 2 week patch maybe?), so that players may notice it, but not very easily.

Imperios.2543:

Isn’t Kryta Italian?

What do you mean by this, and what gave you this idea?

I have to go with Zaxares on this one, though I can see Fitz’s point. Although the devs added 6 more dailies and I can play only 1-2 hours tops every day, I did manage to finish them all -except the WvW ones I admit :P – and got a truckload of mats (pretty much a Cob + other stuff) in 1 hour or so of labyrinth. Might be that it’s “new” content (ok, not really new, but we havenìt played it for a year now), I didn’t even find it boring :P

The reduced costs is a plus too, items are actually affordable now, when they didn’t feel like it last year.

Devs give us content in the hope that players will stay and spend money in the gem store (but they can’t make you if you don’t want to), because players are only a cost otherwise (servers maintenance etc…). They’re more focused on getting new players, I guess (see latest patch).

My point is, you don’t pay a fee as in other games so you can’t pretend a regular service, or in any case you can’t compare the two types of mmos (b2p vs p2p).

of course, that’s just my opinion (and sorry for my english :P).

^ THIS! +1

Please don’t ever forget that GW2 is buy2play, like GW1 was. Devs don’t HAVE TO give us free content, but they choose to do so.

If you can’t play the LS, just log in a second and forget about it until you are able to play through it. If you can’t log in at all, 200 gems isn’t that big of a deal, imo.

frostbite!!! he’s so cute with those big big eyes!!!!! /hugs

…but back to topic (:P), I’m with Goatjugsoup.8637 on this.

Hi everyone, I was wondering: does the collection “hero of the people” need unlocking or is it visible by default? I’m asking because:
- I can’t see it in my collection tab (yes I’ve checked slooowly and multiple times),
- dulfy/wiki don’t mention anything in particular to unlock it (as opposed to, say, the dining collection)
- I’ve killed champs already last night after the patch + opened bags (e.g. the Tamini chief)

Is it my issue only or not?

best LS thread ever, made my day, thank you

…all those caps gave me a headache Anyway,

1) there are character slots in the gemstore available for that, I think the devs just won’t do it (also, why would you want to change? it’s not expensive/hard to just lvl another toon and then you can play both professions when you like it, with no cost in gems for an item like you suggest).

2) Uhm yeah they could do that in makeover kit, but for the other races too, maybe.

3) The fern hound is a living creature in Tyria, not an accessory, they don’t come in different colours just because you want them to :P

keep them, or just sell and buy them again later (prices are dropping). From Dulfy (which is a quote from the devs):

‘Players will be able to start construction of a new back item that will grow and change as you adventure during these next two episodes.’

got 14 vs 500 logs (circa) in about 1 hour in Orr. Didn’t feel at all grindy (it’s one hour only, come on :P). Maybe I got lucky, but price already dropped under 1g/ea, so it’s viable to just buy them all.

All in all, can’t complain.

bri.2359:

And no, they are not account bound ..

yes, sorry, I meant that now you unlock them on the entire account, not only single character.

what lordkrall said, as now they’re account bound.

Victory.2879:

I’d rather we didn’t have housing, as I can’t see why I’d want to spend time playing in a doll’s house. But I’m sure there is a game out there for you guys and girls who do want housing.

It’s a bit like jumping puzzles- if you like platform games there are already plenty out there, feel free to go play them.

Yes, but the point is, if you like JPs you can do them, and if you don’t you can just ignore them. The same applies to housing (or whichever other feature in the game you can name). This is a suggestion on a new feature, which of course some people will love and others won’t the difference is that’s available to the ones who want it.

+1 to OP I’d LOVE this, but if the house were to be in the home instance, wouldn’t it be easier on the whole system (as it’s instanced and personal and already there)?

It’d just need a “guesting” system (like GW:EN HoM but with a “who’s the party leader?” option that’s missing atm, so that the game knows whose home instance to load).

kittenroach LOL

Changer the Elder.2948
Wishful thinking speaking here, but do you think it’s possible the feature pack will include in some form replayable LS season 1 or at least parts of it?

I think it’s just wishful thinking :P the devs said (in one of the POI videos or intro of the new LS, can’t remember exactly, sorry) that LS1 hasn’t been designed for repeatable content and doing it so it is would require much work, and they →might<- do that in the future; so I dont’ think we’ll get it after just 3 LS2 episodes as they’re focused on this atm.

Riaky.8965
How do you use your badges to unlock T2 cul weapon skins?

check out the weapon vendors npcs near the laurel one in your castle borderland (bunch of npcs just south of where you spawn when you enter a borderland, sorry for my bad english ^^").

‘They can’t play it and possible not LS2 either’
I’m sorry I don’t get what you’re trying to say with this, isn’t LS2 unlocked either for free or gold in any case (for old players and new ones)? new players will just experience it later on, when they finished their PS (it’s still unlocked and permanent).

For the different PS, I think it’d be too much trouble for the devs, when they could focus on things that impact all the player base (new maps, LS, and whatever they decide to implement).

no they won’t change PS, as it’s instanced and set before LS1&2.

Also, new players are able to play LS2 (not L1 at the moment, maybe never).

o/ cya, we’ll be expecting you! /doesn’tgetsarcasm

charrismatic! awesome thread, keep posting

15k+ achiev points here, I never ask for minimum AP threshold when I’m applying in the LFG…
skill =/= achiev points, some ppl are just morons, ignore them and create your own group

^ ROFL! loving this thread

uhmm gemstore has nothing to do with expansion packs, I think? Aren’t they “parallel” (as in the late GW1 for example)?
Unless you count the “unlocking episodes you missed by paying” of the LS2, which I don’t think it’ll be used very often…

I’m sorry guys… but I didn’t have any trouble whatsoever in this quest :/ Seemed well explained (arrow cart does have a huge green star on itself) and it never bugged out, maybe you just rushed it (like Dulfy says that can happen in fort concordia doing the achievs)?

My team :

Arianrhod Lionhart (war)
Tya Morgenstern (ele)
Adrasteya Chase (guardian)
Kylaar Morgenstern (thief)
Aviendha Lionhart (engi)

My mesmer, Argyreia:

My ranger, Egiale Greyhawk:

9/10 love that hairdo!

Arianrhod, my war:

Argyreia, my mesmer.

Decided the name based on rules:
- single name (as per sylvari lore)
- starts with ‘A’ (personal rule, most of my chars do)
- must be a plant name
- has hallucinogenic properties (as she’s mesmer)
