Guild Wars 2

Love to see a return of the Jungle Explorer’s Outfit.

I completely agree with you. We have to carry multiple instances of these items on each toon we bring along. Clogs up space and is getting repetitive.

um, you can just throw them away…

Although you can just throw them away, I know many players (myself included) who don’t like to throw away collection items until the collection is completed. Perhaps a separate wallet or bag that only holds items like this so regular bag and bank slots are cluttered?

Have to agree with the Mesmer. She really shines as a Chronomancer.

It’s annoying, but it does cause us (the players) to constantly check back with the gem store, especially if there is something you are looking to “come back”. In my case, I’m waiting for the Jungle Explorer Outfit to return

Just DC/d twice fast too. I’m glad I checked here, I was about to see if it was my router

It’s Mad King time again but no sign of a way to get the “Mad Memories” back skin again

Great artwork. I totally agree the game lends itself nicely to fan art. My favorite was number four, but mostly because I love the Mesmer

Thanks, I appreciate it

So I finally completed the Mistward Armor set (yay), but now my bank is cluttered up with all the components (12 linings and parts, plus another 6 mistward insignias)….

I have the armor, do I have to keep all the parts that went into it? Do people vendor them?

Yes, please fix this. It feels like my character has eyes in the back of her head Very disconcerting.

But having to run around in a blob with 40 other people for 6 hours is just mind-numbing.

You don’t have to run with a blob. You can do stuff on your own or run around with a small group of people. Who knows, maybe you’ll even have fun doing that.

I’ve PvP’d in other games and I’ve always been on the fence about it….and my GF absolutely loathes PvP… (and I do mean loathe) but we both wanted the Gift of Battle so we went in with our rangers (also hoping to find the wolf you can only get in WvW).

To our surprise….we did have fun. Those that don’t like PvP shouldn’t judge WvW until you’ve tried it. Yes, there a parts that are like other PvP, but the “feel” of it is very different here. First off, a huge plus is that all your opponents are not named…. they are just “Server Name Squire” or “Server Name Soldier”, and that’s how you appear to them as well… so you avoid the griefing I’ve seen in other PvP. Also, you can take it at your own pace….. join a blob….go off with a small group…. hunt down npcs…. take in a vista or do a hero point challenge. All in all, it’s a much more enjoyable experience than either of us expected, and now that both of us have gotten our “Gift of Battle”, we’ve actually stayed in WvW from time to time to explore other reward tracks

I have about fourteen characters and I’ve only run the entire first story through about half of them, but each time I’ve truly enjoyed the story, and seeing the different variants by trying different choices each time. Living World 2 and HoT were also truly enjoyable, though I’ve run through them only once each (with my main)….and I’m happy to say that I’m already enjoying the first chapter of Living World 3 and can’t wait to see chapter 2. Exceptional storytelling, ANet, though I’d love to see more fully animated cinematic cut scenes, like we had in HoT.

Just did the story and I didn’t get a seriously negative vibe from her at all. I honestly felt that her “I’m a shadow” was just part of what she is…..her class has always been the “Thief”. In battle she pops in and out of shadows all the time like all her class does.

Yes, she’s shaken, she’s had a huge blow to her psyche and the group she fought so hard to rekindle is gone, but I think she’ll be in a decent part of this story.

It may be frustrating when someone undercuts you by a coin, but that’s basic economics and it exists in games the same way it does in the real world (just watch how eBay works to see the same thing play out).

But I agree that it’s annoying

MMORPGs run on big active servers, and I’ve played in enough of them over the years to know that something bad requiring a rollback is inevitable, and I’ve seen them in many games. But what I’ve never seen before was the amazing way ANet kept us in the loop. Not just here on the Forums, but in Facebook as well, they kept us out of the dark and gave us regular updates. Most other games would have happily stayed silent until the problem was fixed, and then dealt with all the questions. So kudos to ANet for keeping a bad situation from getting worse by keeping us in the know.

We need our gliders in DBL…would be so much fun!

Only if I can shoot you out of the sky and watch you drop like a lead balloon.

We’d need a whole new siege engine to build….the ACK-ACK!

Mine dropped off a Champion Tower Lord.

Thanks,
I’ve killed all those, first place I looked actually :\ . Maybe I just have bad luck.

I think “luck” is the operative word here. My GF and I have been running WvW together and we’ve both killed the same bosses and run together, but my spoon dropped a number of days before hers did. Just keep at it and I’m sure you’ll get that spoon soon

Server relinking occurs on friday … hopefully it helps a few of the ‘very’ uneven matchups/servers

I’m hoping as well. I’m relatively new to WvW, but I’ve enjoyed it a lot despite being on the shorter end of a mis-match. Gates of Madness is currently linked with Sorrow’s Furnace, but I see in the beta list of the new linkings we’ll now be linked with Sea of Sorrows. I hoping it’s a good match up and that we’re put against a fair mixture.

http://dulfy.net/2016/04/22/gw2-wvw-world-linking-beta/

That list was from the first links, 4 months ago. There is no list for the next links and we’ll only know when the matchup start.

Hmmm, I guess we’ll see this Friday then

Johje Holan.4607:

AzureWolf.9150:

Linking will be fine if they monitor it closely and make periodic adjustments so that evenly matched teams are facing each other, which is pretty much what they have promised will start with Friday’s re-linking.

Where did they say they will make periodic adjustments starting with this Friday’s re-linking? I don’t think Anet said that. I think some posters said that’s what they should do but Anet didn’t say it.

Anet wanted re-linkings every 3 months, longer than now, because it takes a lot of work to re-link. (Probably one reason why they went with 2-months instead of 1-month which got the most votes.)

Possibly I’m misreading this, but it seems that your tier will now dynamically change with each match up, moving you to the appropriate tier.

I’ve only been WvWing for a bit now (inspired by the change to “Gift of Battle” like others), but I’ve enjoyed it much more than I thought I would, despite being on the short end of a mis-matched grouping (I’m on Gates of Madness so I’m in the Sorrow’s Furnace group against Darkhaven and Yak’s Bend…. and enough others have posted that I don’t need to tell you how that mach up has been working ).

Regardless of this mis-match, when Sorrow’s Furnace gets enough peeps on and some good commanders (which I’ve already seen a few of), it becomes a lot of fun. But it’s rare we get the population needed to hold our own and I’m really looking forward to the new linking on Friday.

As others have said, when three evenly matched teams face each other in WvW….now that is where the fun really is.

Mine dropped off a Champion Tower Lord.

Here is a link to the full list: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Siege_Commander's_Spoon

There are many great head pieces for sale in the Gem Store…..from glowing eyes to wizard’s hats….. What I’d gladly pay gems for is the ability to combine these head pieces with other outfits. Example, combining glowing eyes with the witch outfit? Awesome. Allowing a Necromancer to keep his/her special class mask while wearing the Count outfit….also awesome. The outfits are great…..the head pieces are great….let us combine them please I have gems waiting to be spent this way!

The Chronomancer one in PvP was the best patch note of all

The black and white “angel” wings are OK, but kinda “floppy”. The new “Hawk” style wings are simple amazing, so I’d love to see them offered in plain white and black like the angel wings. Or make a “Hawk” wing glider that is dyeable so you can just make it the color you wish?

Pretty much what they said. The truth is that MMORPG economies work like miniature “real world” economies, and that is ruled by the simple “Supply & Demand” formula.

Same happening to our small guild on “Gates of Madness Server”. Our guild chat works fine and we do not yet have a guild hall, but every so often it tells us we can’t connect to the guild server. May or may not be relevant, but last time I noticed it was after we did a Guild PvE bounty mission.

Hopefully this is something they can address in a future patch, giving players in a group a chance to recover in those fights or get back into it somehow after you die to help your teammates again.

Some “checkpoints” would also be great, so if you are solo you don’t have to start all over again if you fail.

Johnsen.6253:

The worst thing is that you loose all your participation % for the map if you choose to switch maps. If you stay you will get ported out in 1 hour. Happend to me a few times in DS in front of Modremoth…..

Yeah, I normally don’t mind changing maps when the population gets low. But nothing is worse when you have a great participation level and then get ported to a new map and are back to zero %. I wonder if they could fix that?

One thing I noticed in the Mordy fight (which I agree is long and could use a break half way through) is that if you are in a group and someone dies fighting Mordy (or his shadow), there is no chance to revive them. They get teleported to a “staging area” and have to watch the remainder of the fight with no chance to get back in to help the group (unless everyone dies).

Living World Season 2 helps a lot with Tyrian Mastery points, but I wouldn’t mind them adding in some “stationary” Red Mastery points you can find, like the Green ones in HoT.

Gliding in Tyria is great because it gives you an edge but it’s not overpowered. As previous posters said, it’s not flying, it’s “falling with style”.

Flying, on the other hand, would break many parts of the game. Just look at the “back peddling” Blizzard had to do when they realized flying broke WoW.

Between speed boosts, gliding and a multitude of waypoints, I think we’re fine without mounts or flying here.

I think the mastery system is fine, but I’d like to see some “Red Mastery Point” locations added to the map to discover, like the “Green Mastery Points” are in HoT.

Throwing in another vote for “Glint’s Gaze” coming back
Also the bat wings (backpack and glider)

I’d love to see Sayeh’s armor made available for Medium wearers. as either a skin or outfit.

I think the Tengu would be a fun race to play (I’d definitely play one). And while I agree with others that Dwarves rule as a fun race, it’s already written into the lore here that they are all but gone (with the last few turning to stone). Bringing Dwarves back would undermine the great sacrifice they made.

Wanna really be ‘off the wall’? Bring the Skritt in as a playable race ~lol~. sniff sniff “You smell……different.”

I like outfits, but I wish you could opt to keep a separate head item. Like I hate that my Necromancer has to give up her “Wraith Mask” to wear an outfit.

I filed a bug report about too. I know they said they are aware of the problem, but it makes it hard to progress in Tyria-Mastery tracks. I’m missing 12 points and I think my GF is missing even more. I hope this gets fixed soon.

PopeUrban.2578:

Speculating:

They’re testing some new content guide features, possibly a less obtuse way to clue players in to collections and to track them better. As important as collections are for a lot of things now, being a new players that doesn’t really care about traditional achievement systems you could easily miss them. I have a guildmate that I had to point out collections to who replied “there’s actually more content to this than I thought. neat.”

He had no idea collections existed, or that the sometimes very unique items they granted even existed.

They may also be testing some enhanced tutorial features. Players to this day still fail to understand the basic leveling method of the game, ignore events, grand mobs, and then wonder why their leveling speed sucks.

Since they are looking for “new” players with limited GW2 experience, I think your last guess is a good one. I remember when I first started playing GW2, if my GF hadn’t led me by the nose I’d have gotten confused quickly, and now we have a new friend who just started playing and we’re helping him get his bearing. We’re all old time MMORPG players, but there are a lot of new (and refreshing) ways GW2 is played that aren’t as intuitive as some of the “more mundane” MMORPGs out there. I love GW2, but there is a definite learning curve when coming from other MMORPGs out there (or perhaps it’s having to “unlearn” all the bad habits other MMORPGs teach you ~smile~).

Excellent guide for a new Revenant to help them get their feet wet. This had some great tips in it.

My GF ran into a different problem with the 64 bit client, but I figured since this is in Beta still you’d want to know any issues. We downloaded the 64 Bit Client and she put it in her existing game folder (going by the instructions, same as I did). But when she then tried to launch the 64 Bit client it only gave her “connection errors”. Rebooting didn’t stop that, but when she went back to the 32 Bit client it launched fine. She and I have the same Dell Alienware X51 (R2) desktop running Windows 10 (64bit) but I didn’t have that problem. The only real difference is I’m in the United States and she’s across the pond in the Faroe Islands, so I’m not sure if her location could be effecting her connection.

I wasn’t having the same difficulties as the original poster, but I still found a lot of the advise given here a boon to my Revenant’s playing style as I level her up. Thanks especially Cyninja, nice advise, and also Nautix, thanks for a look at your build

It does seem to be very “hit or miss”. I haven’t seen the OOM crash myself (playing on an MSI i7 gaming laptop (64 Bit)), but my girlfriend is seeing it constantly since HoT came out (playing on an Alienware i7 desktop, also 64 Bit)… both our systems have 12 GB of RAM, both are running high end nVidia cards, both are running Windows 10. I do hope this is something they find a cure for soon. This never happened before the expansion.

A few more “idle” animations wouldn’t be bad, for all the races/genders. After a while the swaying of the arms back and forth seems a bit weird

Agreed. My GF and I tried and died and tried and died. Ruka moves so fast and in the time it takes to locate where he went, we died over and over until we also felt we needed a break.

Yes, this is a “fun” combo of powers, but like many other missions in the past, they should give you alternate ways of doing it or your story stops dead.

ANet, please don’t make us wait to finish our stories again like with Zhaitan

Has ANet given us an update on this since last night? I know they said they were going to work on it this morning but it’s already 2pm here on the East Coast.

Seems to still be going on. Even when we can get in and play a bit, anytime I go to a waypoint or change maps the problem comes back. Hopefully they will post an update to this soon.

Hopefully they are hard at work trying to undo whatever happened

Got in again, but started to play in the new area, was up to 200% participation in the area event…went to a waypoint and it kicked me out again and when I came back my participation was back to 0%

Game works!

If that’s the fix, hopefully they will just push that out to everyone with a new patch (or roll back the last patch). Even if we do get in, changing maps is booting us back out and we’re losing progress we’ve gained in the new areas.
