Guild Wars 2

No one else has this?

I think the more obvious problem is that there were significant bugs staggering gameplay, but instead they focused on ‘fixing’ the things that no one had a problem with

Not sure if bug or intended, but there’s an even marker inside a tree in the Central Plaza. Doesn’t seem to do anything but exist there…

Oh nice, thanks for sharing that.
I get all my info from wiki and GW2 homepage.. which clearly isn’t as complete as this.

Now that de farm is on life support, can we please have an increase in ticket scraps?
Some people actually get the keys from the gem store and there is nothing more infurating than getting a bundle of keys and getting only 1 or 2 scraps. Leave alone the fact you can’t get nuttin’ with a single ticket
(save the chaos weapons at this time)

Either that or please implement something else in the game store to get these scraps. But paying for a small chance at those things… that’s just cruel man

Q: Has Anet given a date when they will continue with LS again?

The new collection tab is enough to keep me going for a while, but for how long..

You still get your keys at the same levels, but they’re just a little harder to farm.
NOW GET BACK IN THE GAME AND JUST PLAY
If you want to farm stuff so badly go play WoW

As a greatsword warrior, I feel deeply insulted reading this. I am one of the foremost players in the group to keep the enemies busy, allowing my party members safety. During WvW I am on the front row hacking away on my enemies, raring to give my life if it means safety and success for the group.

If you feel this way about them, then that’s fine. But I would be heavily insulted if my mobility would be reduced because of your envy.

On one note: They could’ve just reactivated what they had.
On the other note: The popularity was mediocre at best.

Across the fora I have seen several posts about new weapons and classes. I believe it may be nice to absorb them into a single topic, so that we can have one civilized structure instead of a hundred points spread out like butter. So I have taken the liberty to amass the most commonly requested things.

rules I want this topic to remain civilized at all times if we are to use this as a central point.

1. Two Handed Axes
Especially for the warrior, this weapon has been requested a lot. I personally understand why you would want this type of weapon. I can also see ANet’s difficulty in making it. For how do you make a Great Axe that is in use different from the Great Sword. A Great Axe’s signature would be cleaving (wide attack range) which the Great Sword now already has. If you wish to discuss the Great Axes, please be clear in your topics

2. Spears, Polearms and Scythes
These kind of weapons were loved back in GW1. Used by the Paragons, Dervishes and whatnot. These would allow heavy classes to attack in a medium range. Whereas the Scythes would propably rely on one-on-group battles. If you wish to discuss these weapon types, please be clear in your topics

3. Heavy Class
There has also been a lot of asking for a third heavy class. I have taken upon myself to design this idea:
The Lord.
The Lord as a class will be a heavy class that specializes in brute display. They can only wield two handed weapons or a spear/shield. They prefer to fight at a medium to close range, and will have the ritualist, paragon and dervish imbued. In their schools they will either use magic to enchant their weapons or those of allies, summon the spirits from ashes of famous heroes, and can spiritually connect to the Mists.

4. Existing Weapons to Classes
The following weapons have been wished actively to be moved to certain classes.
Pistol to: Necromancer
Axe to: Guardian, Elementalist
Hammer to: Engineer

I would like to use this forum as a central post to discuss weapons and classes. If you have ideas, suggestions or otherwise, please share them here. The only request I can make is to always remain polite, give structured feedback WHAT and WHY you want something, because when you only say WHAT you want, ANet is less likely to listen.

Yes, and they will not change the 250 count, either. If you want more you can buy stack upgrades per 250

When you go to a forum remember 2 things:

1. People who like the game only visit the forum for information or share it. People who enjoy the game won’t bother much with it.

2. Most of the complainers are people who have gotten a little too comfortable in the ‘give’ society. They paid for a game, and a game they got. Everything that came after the release were free extras. People think they are entitled to this free stuff and think they have the right to complain about it.

EDIT:
What this forum mostly needs is someone who teaches the common complainer the difference between a complaint and critisism.
The first being; saying you don’t like something
The second being; saying WHY you don’t like something, or HOW something could be better/more liked

Sadly, this forum is oversupplied with the first

Say what you want, this will keep people busy for a while. At least until the next patch/LS

They said they didn’t want to voice our players since they couldn’t find the same voice actors again.. bullcrap, I don’t care if they sound a little different, I mean how long has it been sing I last heard my character talk.. at least more than a year

So… Where did this guy dissapear of to?

He kinda walked away after his first showing in dry top.
Now, after the last chapter the NPCs speculate a person was behind the attack, mostly due to the fact that zhaitan and kralkatorrik are the only Dragons who care to attack locations rather than just feasting on magical artifacts.

Did the master of peace just dissapear, or could it be that he is involved yet (for better or for worse)

About the new patch. I have a question.

Previously you could throw the mini’s in the bank, theyd tag your achievements and then you could sell it again. But in this new system you apparantly unlock them, like skin consumables. How will this work?

Secondly, what will happen to duplicates now, we just destroy them? Like the 28 risen priests of Balthazar, 5 queen Jenna’s en some others.

problem is, there’s PvP, but so far as I know you can’t PvP with preselected people. I can’t ask someone in my guild if they want to have a go at it, outside

this week they’re discussing trading and collecting, so something might pop up

Maybe a noob question but where and how can I watch/join the CDI, and what are the topics apart from the word ‘guild’

three snaps from Divinity’s Reach

buying a precursor or rolling the mystic toilet seems to be the only way to get one. I haven’t heard of anyone getting it as a drop yet. (not in my close circle at least eg, guild/friendlist)

Duke Nukem.6783:

while we r talking about bags i dont want the stuff in my invisible bag to show up in the mystic forge interface

agreed, invisible bags shouldn’t be viisble anywhere but in the inventory screen (or bank)

There is one thing I really want to see, one thing that has annoyed me terribly since the first day I played the game.

Runes and Sigils go into the crafting bag
A handfull of crafting materials do not. (eg, ectoplasm)

the main problem is when I play for a while, salvaging all my blues and greens, and eventually my crafting materials can’t get in my crafting bag because for some reason runes get in there. Please move the runes to ‘equipment’ bag because you equip runes, and not craft with them. This is my only plea for this section

I must’ve misphrased that. Because that was exactly what I meant.

Just now I was kicked from the server at tequatl (again) and when I reconnected I was in a half-dead overflow..
Why does the game not remember my position in a certain flow for a little while, it’s getting extremely frustrating by now.
I don’t mind the DC itself so much, the problem is that I lose tequatl entirely because I get thrown into a different (halfdead) overflow

The silver fed o’ matic, for 1 silver per use, this kit will endlessly salvage your goods with the power of a Master’s Salvage kit.

now this silver fed-o-matic costs 500 gems and 1 silver per use
A normal Master’s Salvage kit costs 15.36/25c so that’s roughly 64 copper per use.

Now I may be mistaken, but the point of a gem store item is convience right? now hardship. Buying this silver fed-o-matic leaves you worse a non-gemstore visitor

Morsus.5106:

saventis.1485:

its a gift be grateful

In real life you include a gift receipt for a reason.

People only do that if the gift is very specific, like a piece of clothing.
Normally, in holland at least, it’s considered an insult when you leave a price tag or include a receipt. It’s like saying; this is how much you mean to me and not a cent more.

fine, fine, kill Phlunt, we don’t need the asura to fight the elder dragons

Wolfey.3407:

As long as there is an option to toggle it on and off, during teq or any other major guild organized event, I do not want to see a ton of dots on my map.

That’s what the suggested toggle is for.

[] see guild members
[] see friends
[] see commanders

When I play with my guild, be it WvW or PvE, we lose a lot of time trying to figure out where everyone is going and where everyone went.
My request to anet is making an option that allows you to see the dots of your guild members when you’re on the same map and o’flow as them. That way you can easily find each other, and relocate each other when the hassle begins.

An option like this would of course need a toggle button.

yea, so long as anything works to an achievement or is a part of the main or a side progress, it would be permanent.
Things that only change how the world looks, or works, might still change.

But regarding everything that has happened now, everything is 100% permanent (for now)

So far as I know, all content thas released since LS2 is permanent, so there’s not stuff that’s only available during a chapter. It might be easier to get things done quicklier as more people are actively pursuing it.

I thought the crystals meant he was overiding Kralkatorrik’s corruption

sure, I downed twice or thrice, but I don’t consider the boss to be too hard, I think it was just right. People are constantly begging for harder content, and once they get something that makes them put in effort, they complain.. go play hello kitty wonder island adventures if this is too hard for you

Dont know. I just attacked any Mordrem nearby. I do remember hearing Phlunt whining somewhere near the end. Besides, what does the order matter. When a bunch of enemies appear I just jump in the fray.
Back in gw1 the killing order was important, but that rarely is the case now.

another “I want rewards without playing the game” topic..
Too many of those these days

in any event, PvP really isn’t 1% of the playerbase.. I’d say roughly 10% of the player base is a dedicated WvW/PvP, and from the remaining 90% at least half of them play PvP ocassionally. It’s really not catering the 1% just because YOU don’t play PvP

I chose the hellfire mantle over the radiant mantle at my 6000AP mark, because at the time I was more wearing the Flame Legion stuff.
But now I have 2 radiant items, and 2 chaos weapons, and I really want to swap my hellfire mantle for the Radiant Mantle.
Is there really no way to do this? I won’t even mind paying gems, I just really regret this decision, not knowing there would ever be chaos weapons..

go to LFP:
open world content:
Tier 5 zone taxi

your welcome

rip serious thread -.-

Waiting For The Last Waltz

Title says enough I think (I’m referring only to the ending of LS-1)

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

Seven Star Stalker.1740:

Asians will get offended <- Bogus argument. We had an Asian themed festival earlier this year. Stereotypes are fine to be made. Offensive ones, don’t. And really. You have to be realistic on what you’re doing. If you do some guy with a heavy Chinese accent that makes numerous grammatical errors in his speech, that’s kinda rude because you’re picking at a bad trait that people overall have (and a stereotype that’s negative and people often make fun of).
Honestly as long as they do reasonable research into the culture they’re after I don’t think they’ll legitimately offend anyone, save for the people who get offended by the slightest things. And given they just released in China, I’d say theyd be able to amply research the region to get a good and accurate idea.

Personally I’d drool allover a set of Chinese Fire Lance styled skins for ballistas and rifles. With modified sound effects too. And Hwacha Arrowcarts.

And Katana sword skins, Japanese Yumi bow skins, and more really.

There’s a lot of ways they can go with this, again, if they do their research. Heck, give us bonsais for our Housing :v

It’s not about offending the Asians, per se. It’s about staying on the good side of the governments that could ban your game from being played in their country. Remember, Factions ran into that issue. It’s why the panda bears were removed from Shing Jea Island (in China it’s illegal to depict harm / killing a panda). If they launch something that those in charge find offensive, they could strip the game from the market, which would be severely detrimental to their budget.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Panda

According to ANet, the pet was removed because China did not allow depictions of a dead member of an endangered species

Make them passive green animals (there are plenty of those)

other than that, I thin kthe whole asia might get offended issue a bit out of proportion

The next 3 are less easy, but also doable in a decent amount of time:

Duelling: an area 1.5x the size of the length of the longest distance skill a player has available
Duel ends when one player hits 1% health

Guild v Guild (and Guild Halls)

Mounts:
(don’t get me wrong here)
I AM STRICTLY AGAINST MOUNTS IN PVE
however, in WvW you get a different issue (walking 5-10 minutes before catching up to a squad if you survive the run to them)
so Mounts in WvW would be welcome with the following limitations:
1. Any form of damage removes the mount
2. Cannot mount past your own border (which will be defined by which points you control)
3. Cannot mount when hostile players are near you

1. Entering a new zone, check guild roster. Any members in same zone, drop them in same overflow.

2. World Bosses (easy fixes)
a) Make fire elemental more durable (dies in 5-10 seconds)
b) Make svanir shaman walk down into the storm, so people can’t stand still next to him autoattacking
c) Make Shatterer flap his wings causing a brand storm on the side (to stop people from standing still on his right side)

3. Add the masks from GW1 (eg. Skull Mask, Wolf Mask, Dragon mask(s), Zombie Mask

4. Make a popup (similar to the party’s) when you’re in a squad
(for example, the profile of your commander and a list of numbered classes for the rest)

5. Turn the mark of the commander you’re following yellow
(world events and guild events can often have up to 15 commanders, you can’t mouse over everyone of them until you find yours)

6. First Person (I can’t stress this enough THIS IS EXTREMELY EASY TO FIX ONE OR TWO DAYS OF WORK, I’VE SEEN FRIENDS IN DESIGNER SCHOOL DESIGN FP-3P IN AN AFTERNOON)

7. Seperate mobs that don’t trigger trait (ghosts) from mobs that don’t trigger loot (adds)
These have become horrifyingly annoying in the current living story, as Sigils and Traits have become absolete

8. Party Leader, when he leaves, don’t kick everyone out of a dungeon.

9. Crosshair target (immobile monsters often have a red crosshair instead of a red circle)
These monsters are immune to ‘run-to’ attacks, such as the warrior’s Rush (GS#5)

BlueZone.4236:

Ctrl+F -> mounts. Word not found.

Mounts! Oooooooooh yeaaaaaaaaaaah! Neeeeeeeeeeeeeigh!!

ctrl F mount = Mounts are not allowed in this topic as a hundred other topics deal with those dead horses

Andre.4063:

2 handed axe for my warrior.

I think the skills that a 2H axe would give would be roughly the same as a pike/halbert

The staff on LS is pretty small (about 15 people I heard) so it’s likely a second group is actually working on an expansion and taking their time to make sure it’s a good one. And the living story will keep us busy in the meantime

- Order Missions

- Hard Mode
EG. an option that adds debuffs to yourself (so it won’t affect other players) and allows for special drops

- New World Bosses

- Underworld
(make a gate that opens for 15 minutes after shadow behemoth dies)
Inside mobs drop beads of various colours, 15 beads make a bracelet.
Exchange a red bracelet, a blue bracelet, a green bracelet and a multicolored bracelet for a gift of grenth. Exchange gift of grenth with 3 other items for a different [Gift of (Legendary)] so you can make a different set of legendaries

-Second Wallet
For stuff like living story collectibles (geodes)

- upgrading current world bosses
EG. Fire Elemental (dies in 10 seconds, no real threat,add phases and/or more health)
EG. Svanir Shaman (stand still boss, make him mobile, and force players to be in the storm area)
EG. Shatterer (don’t allow players to stand still on the side and range)
EG. Karka Queen (deadly attack, but not really dangerous)
EG. Jungle Wurm (make the healing husks more of a threat)

-New Weapons
EG. Scythe (for ele, necro)
EG. Tome (for all light classes + guardian)
EG. Pike (for ranger, elementalist, Warrior)
EG. Sickle (for Thief, Elementalist, Engineer)

-New Classes
EG. Shaman (mix of warrior/Ritualist)
EG. Lord (mix of warrior/Paragon)
EG. Monk (medium class who can use staffs, fist weapons (like knuckles) and maces)

- New Dungeons
EG. Branded Citadel (an antmine for branded)
EG. Deathholm (an abandoned Dredge mine, now overun by Aatxe)
EG. The Black Tower (in the second last area of Orr)
EG. The Old Road (an open area style dungeon of ruins where grawl roam)

TECHNICAL UPDATES:
-Crosshair Targetting (immobile bosses with crosshair target are immune to rushing attacks)

-Dyeable Weapons

-Megaservers
Prioritize Guild Members

-Seperate monsters who don’t drop loot and don’t trigger traits/sigils (a current issue)

-Make tequatl/TripleTrouble instanced (or a minidungeon, at least keep the uninterested out of there)

- bag filtering
Runes move to crafting bag while some crafting materials do not automatically apear in the crafting bag. (like ectoplasm)

People, please comment on this and add your suggestions/alterations
DONT ASK FOR NEW RACE OR MOUNTS THEY ARE DEALT WITH IN A HUNDRED OTHER TOPICS! (thats the only two rules)

nonrelated:
this morning I threw my earnings in the well
I had 3 exotics and a mystic stone:
I got.. tadaaa.. KEVIN!!
me and my guildies couldn’t stop laughing for about 10 minutes.. best drop I have had in days

Cantha won’t be here (for a while) at the very least they wanted to go deeper into the Shiverpeaks, so we won’t see Cantha until after the Jormag Krieg

I remember drytop and the surrounding area being home to a certain enemy that I’ve never been able to kill…
Maybe that’ll be Mordremoth’s champion… Rotwing. >__o¿

Rotwing resided in Majesty’s Rest, guarding the crypts of ancient Krytan royalty and nobility.

You mean Rotscale?
Rotwing is a type of weapon
