Guild Wars 2

The Charr and Human alliance bring the fight to the Ruined City of Arah!

… Daheka you talkin’ about?

TomTom.2819:

It doesnt fit at all to me. rangers are about nature and using the surroundings, not spell casting.

They can summon nature spirits and cast lighting (Lightning Reflexes).

Would give the Ranger a shamanistic set of abilities!

Just yes.

Wethospu.6437:

Scepter on a Warrior?

No.

Hey now, in GW1 a Warrior could use a Wand.

if you’ve done the priory mission ghost rite you’ll see why ele’s can never get a GS

I remember that transformation being cooler. Didn’t your character also used to grow into a giant?

Yes, I want Greatsword for all of my characters! Hahah.

Elementalist with dual Swords would be awesome too.

Here’s my Guardian! I like the banded chest piece with the Dark set armor. Got the Radiant Gloves so now she’s extra shiny!

There was never really a then and now for my Guardian.

I saw a look that I wanted badly. At around level 10 when I had saved enough Karma, I made the trek to Orr all by my lonesome. It was a little game I made for myself, trying to get to those vendors without getting one-shot. Aegis helped out quite a bit. It turned out to be quite a fun challenge! You would be shocked at how far the aggro range can be if you are 70 levels under the enemy.

This has been my Guardian’s look since around level 10, and I love it to this day!

that is an awesome story
you have some guts!

It was quite a thrill! Plus, having that Karma-only armor skin at very low levels was pretty nice prestige.

Paragon would be neat!

This project was delayed in favor of having the specific folks required to build it skill-set wise working on solidifying the core of the game. You’ll hear more about our ecosystem in the future, but we’re not actively working on this project, in favor of making sure the core game itself is as fun and rewarding as possible.

Edited to add: We’ll discuss what sort of projects we’re doing instead in more detail in the blog post later this week, and even in more detail as the Jan/Feb/March releases get closer.

That’s great news! Thanks for the heads up!

I’m hoping for Monk!

Welcome Kvasirdor!

If you have your UI on, taking a screenshot will capture their name. From there you can look at the screenshot, send a /w to it, then click on the name and choose Report. It’s more effort, but I’m more than happy to catch them any way I can.

Cheers!

Well made card. Thank you so much for sending it over, ArenaNet!

I think someone from QA signed my card, which is awesome because that’s what I do!

Why don’t we have an option to skip the CDs and buy digital from iTunes, Amazon, etc.?

I’m playing less now because I’m gainfully employed.

We’ll see about how much playing I’ll be doing on Christmas break.
Hint: A lot.

Agreed. This Fractal dungeon is definitely my favorite of the bunch. I really enjoyed the scale of it, the verticality. I hope this is only a taste of things to come!

D’awwwwhhh.

Transmuting the starter head gear for my Elementalist with another item caused the armor to become invisible. No model or effects are visible afterward, however the Flame Eye is visible at character selection screen. Have not verified this with the other Elementalist starter head gear.

Details:
Human
Female
Elementalist
Flame Eye armor piece

I don’t remember clearly if I had Hide or Show toggled for my head armor at the time. I don’t think I would have had it hidden, since I like the look of it. It’s definitely why I transmuted the look over to another item.

Both actually.

I’ve found that the Flame Eye only appears at character selection. As soon as I’m in-game, it’s gone.

I transmuted my Elementalist’s starter head armor (Flame Eye) to give it stats from another item and the look disappeared. Neither of the combined items are visible, and I’ve tried toggling on visibility and unequipping/equipping it.

Is there any way I can get the Flame Eye look back? I don’t want an invisible helmet.

Thanks in advance for your help!

This is really frustrating. I keep on using the wrong ability, or canceling one.

I really dislike switching Leap of Faith and Symbol of Wrath. Can we get this changed back please? Or can we be given the ability to rearrange the powers ourselves?

Thanks.

Just popping in here to give my brief answer:

Yes.

Yikes. I was wondering why my screenshots weren’t being saved. Then I finally realized my screenshots stopped at gw999.jpg!

I hope this is on a list of things to fix, this game has so many screenshot opportunities that filling it up to 999 several times over won’t be a problem for me.

Thanks! Do you know which NPC it is?

I’ve been collecting the matching armors sold from the Blazeridge Steppes karma vendors, however there are none that sell the matching shoulder armor. Is this a bug, or is there another map that sells the matching shoulder armor?

Thanks, much appreciated!

Cantha. Monks brought back, and they can use staff as melee weapon.

I’m still having a blast. This is the only MMO I’ve ever played that I’ve enjoy all the classes. I like that there are small goals to be met, and long-term ones for me too!

Thanks for the update, and you better believe I’ll keep on reporting botters!

Same here, mine won’t reset. It is stuck at 92,415. I’ve had this happen last month as well.

Digital Dragon.2697:

Do you have your helmet visual turned off?

That was the first thing I tried. Turning it off and on didn’t work.

I transmuted my Flame Eye helmet armor onto another helmet and now nothing shows up on my characters head. Is there any way to get that Flame Eye look back? I tried making another character to transfer another Flame Eye, but they are Soul Bound.

Awesome, thanks for the info folks!

@ Thunderbeard.4527

I would hope that is something you can actually make with the cooking profession.

Can we get an option to turn off Camera Smoothing?

It wasn’t until I saw a Priory NPC using a Greatsword that I went and bought some weapons. They look fantastic, and I hope the issue with effects and transparencies with the Preview window gets fixed soon.

Are there any websites out there that have a complete list of Heavy/Medium/Light armor skins, with screenshots? Haven’t been able to find any good resources yet. Mainly interested in transmuting a look onto current set of armor.

Thanks!

Do Sigils of Water heal you as well, or only other players in the area?

Thanks!

Was wondering about this as well. I thought from the article that names were supposed to be released in the headstart/launch area. It’s been a couple of weeks since.

Anyone know?

Anyone know?

Wow, those legendary weapons look amazing!

Looking forward to starting up my journey to one of those!

Is there any level 80 armor that has both Toughness and Vitality stats on it? If so, what is the prefix? IE: Cleric’s Masquerade Raiments = Power/Toughness/Healing Power.

Thanks in advance for your help!

It’s been weeks since Headstart and Launch, and character names appear to still be reserved from GW1. Are these names going to be released?

From this article: http://www.arena.net/blog/reserving-your-character-name-for-guild-wars-2

“After launch day (and after we work through support tickets filed on launch day), we’ll free up the millions of unclaimed names for new Guild Wars 2 players to use.”

Any news on this?
