uuu didnt think we ever really die i was more like we get knocked out?

in fairy tales its quite common kids go on adventure

or do we get legal cases against Hensel and Gretel?

Actually yes….. against the parents.
The parents take the siblings out into the Forrest and hope they die there.

But serious…. if i wanna play Sims 3 i would play Sims 3.
All these let’s be childs or let’s get married is getting on my nerves.

If that is going through i demand modern Airplane combat simulations over Lions Arch
or World of Tanks battlefields on every open map

u get the facts wrong as i know they moved back to the father and lived happy ever after

about if i wanna play sims is not a real argument sorry u just getting ur argument to sound strong but its not since I can say why play a Thief if i wanna play a thief i play Assasins Creed or Robin hood if i want be a ranger :P

technical problems …. I not really see why we should care ? there are always problems even if u bring a bagsort in. Or a new dye color

so like it dont like it but get a real argument.

you be just a kid for lets say 10 levels or like suggested as a flashback in the PS

I very much like that idea too we already have flashbacks of the past. A small instance where you remember how u became a Thief or Guardian could be cool

quite bold to demand a “real argument” when you summarized yours in “would it be nice if we start our Avatar as a Child?”

so long stay on the topic its not more bold then any other subject in this forum

but i know that many people are very good in screaming No ! in this forum with the arguement gw1 had no childs or the game has other problems or if i want childs i ask my wife

Uhhh…you know those Mother Goose Fairy Tales were just retold versions of the Grimm Fairy Tales where there aren’t such happy endings, right?

and whats ur point ?

Their point is to read the original Grimm tales. You don’t know what you think you know about the real story :P

aha nice that u know what i know and even better that people dont get, that it all started with the joke about they sueing there Parents uuuh

would it be nice if we start our Avatar as a Child?

then growing up over the levels (at lv 80 u are an adult )

or having a starter zone where u be a kid and u choose ur profession.

I watched Dragon Ball as a Teenager a lot and i loved that Son Goku got older and stronger.

not saying u need become an old man after u play 2 years but lets say start as little kid choose ur proffession then after lv 40 u be a teenager and at lv 80 u reach ur final form. That all could be combined with the Personal story.

thanks for reading

staff is ok and who care SW is easy anyway

If u get so agro about how other do open world u may should make a break look outside the window smell a flower or so.

edit i personal dont use staff but is not becaus I feel dps is so bad in open world is just spamming 1 hurt my finger a lot

I feel the full problem with daily is the name ….

It shoudnt called daily…. daily is boring it sounds like work like my job is a daily.. ok thats not true my job is awesome:)

but daily is the wrong Word

Lets call it
HEROS Call for PVE
SOLDIER DUTY for WVW
GLADIATOR DEEPT for SPVP

and so ppl dont feel they getting homework instead they are challanged

best Wintersday

BALSA

ps i like the new HERO CALLS !!!:)

im not sure its a meta fix… I see myself more like haveing 5 armors in my bag …..

We ask a lot the full year from the anet team. maybe we can give something back ?

some creative ideas for Christmas gift it dont need be made with money a pretty screenshot or a nice message here is already something.

Big guilds could do a event ?

i dont know It just feels right and Im curious for the community creativity !

Happy Wintersday!

this discussion feels meaningless

Meta = optimum play style dont means zerker even so it is in most cases. Buff a gear a new Meta will come.

I feel more ppl come here to look for a shoulder to talk about there bad dunguon expierence where they be kicked for comming with non optimal gear .

I myself had the worsed runs with non meta groups not bcs they play bad but bcs they dont understand the encounter and blameing ppl very fast for dying in a fight which would be over in 2 min with meta team but 15 minutes in a non meta where I was the only zerk and other proudly posting there Cleric gear and telling me to tank as a Guard…

So all in all Meta or not all we want is fun dunguon encounters whith interessting boss mechanics and a lot movement.

Do we want a certain class in a certain gear to do a dunguon? No but this is what could happen if we force anet to make more gear types be meta.

then u get your 20 minutes waiting for a Normad Ele and a Condition Guard

Chewablesleeptablet.3185:

Verificus.4320:

That is a rather narrowminded statement. DPS can vary extremely between a player using Clerics or Berserker even when both players are using full ascended with stat infusions.

I would have thought people would have assumed I meant when everyone has zerker a dps meter makes no sense to have. But hey I assume the people that want the DPS meter are people who want to use it to only accept people with the highest dps in their dungeon or instance groups…… DPS meter is not needed when a combat log already tells you what kind of damage you are doing, plus using a little bit of math you might be able to tell your actual dps.

like u said
plus using a little bit of math you might be able to tell your actual dps.

so why not use a meter for the dps then?

u make no sense sorry !

After i saw Hobo Tron i got this idea

The back piece is shouting i think it over writes the normal shouts?

so why not sell ausio shout packages

Barbarian shout Pack
Noble Shout Pack
Cuty Shout Pack
Commander Shout Pack
Joker Shout Pack
Holy Shout Pack

… Wife shout Pack

sell it in the gemstore

ps if u take this idea i would love a gift from anet :P

Precursor would be sweet

I think GW2 is the perfect game for ppl who like play MMO but are busy in real life

I myself have no time to play the game very often anymore and since that i feel the speed of the LS is almost to fast …. unbelievable i know

and there is no pressure at all in the game is a nice thing jump in play and leave 2 weeks

always nice to have new people in the forum

Flitzie.6082:

I once got aksed if I ran full zerker.
I posted my zerker amulet and they believed me fully.
Little did they know at the time this had been my only zerker piece alongside a lot of soldier or knights pieces.

Eventually I gave in myself ankitten ow running full zerker. Then again I never really worried about it. Just play as you like.

WOW respect for ur leeching skills , u dont like zerker but u try to join them so they carry u

i will remember u :P

Gaile Gray.6029:

It’s a good feature, and yep, something that players suggested in the past. Whaaa…? You’re thinking there should be other options? Seriously, let’s start a list.

Mine:

• Skritt
• Fire Imp
• Ice Drake
• Frog

I’d also love seasonal carriers, like a ghost at Halloween or reindeer at Christmas.

I know this isn’t everyone’s “thing,” but I love the idea. Heck, I’ll be sending more mail just to see the little guys.

Im happy Anet listen to the Player Im just curious…..

does the suggestor got any thank as a gift from anet ?

Marriage is already possible I think anet already provided u with noble dress dye it white and u have ur Bride.

but gemshop could offer more a item which make the couple get a heart over there heat sometimes lets say after every rezz ?

I think personal rezz animation was suggested once

other ideas can come with houseing

and why not do a Guild for ur shared bank taps?

Im against a marriage animation scene people should get creative and do there own

and i love the Lap partner idea

but plz no buffs for be married or u see only PVPer with ring on there left finger

PS I also want see a List of Hetero Insults

ROFL, baddie, man with woman? Ewwww, disgusting!

Something like this? xD

I only can think about the Rammstein Song man gegen man

who speaks german can find some there But I hope we get it better

maybe some word like Frontman ?

or BabyThrower ( thats for female heteros)

Tenrai Senshi.2017:

armed with molotov kittentails

Where can I find these molotov kittentails? They sound deadly. XD

there anet is ur name for a new Gemshop Item! Or a Legendary for a Engi

Politic , Religion and sexual orientation u always bring up at ur own risk

On my personal note its a MMO and my character is not interested in Man or Girls She is a Virgin and Swor a oat to Protect all Noobs

So If I would scream loud around in LA what I so do in my freetime hetero or kitten who cares I get 10 Comments into my Face thats no surprise so why even bring up sex into a game …..?

PS I also want see a List of Hetero Insults

like the title says they are dam slow

i run by normal speed my mini 200 meter behind me catch up after i stand for 10 seconds still

is there a way to make them faster ?

like it is now they are annoying like a loading screen

throwing away Dusk
then find out reporting to customer support they told me no record i ever had Dusk

then when feature patch came i got a transmutation stone for my Dusk i forgot whats the name of that thing is

Point is im stupid and anet customer support is not helpful

or make them unsaleable like legendarys

she pulled a Braham :P

but ya serious a little better writing would help

I myself fond it hard to watch it on time maybe while i play the game at the time? who knows

I wonder is it Possible to make a Way to play the game then get a Inventation to watch it in a life view mode/spectator mode in SPVP

I know already can watch games in that mode and if it would be connected with commentary would be better or who knows u even could set up a real arena where audience are sitting. Support Poster holding and so on that for me would be the future of esport

I had the same at start died a lot but after figure out the mechanics is was ok

but still no big fun and it feels way out of story

A tower defense game would be better IMO or even switching sides we become the enemy and attack the Fortress

agreed and maybe its just me i sometimes got the feeling i need hurry up and read it ?

The problem might be really that my char is a mute what makes me always feel a little uncomfortable beside Majory which for me is the real leader of the 5

Maybe its time we get to speak again like we did in the personal story

let me dream here short by saying i can choose a Voice out of 4 types which have different personalities … Cool/relaxt , Shy/cute , Wise/ all knowing , Agressive /unpatient

gw2 is great bcs i can hop in any time without i feel i lost any progress

ok bcs im stupid it seems i exploited it

here is what i done instead of defending the spot i just went to somewhere else bcs Carnac told me so! that the point here is undefendable ….

so i afk at a other spot chopper came and i was done yeah

anet u may wanna look into that for the future thanks

thinks like kick abuse [especially when the reward is great and the run is long]
possibly conflicts between players /classes
boon accessibly now its limited to 5 ppl that may will do pressure on certain classes

ingame ts communication
more ways to mark enemys

could special roles be welcome lets say a necro is asked to kite and run with full normad in a certain fight?

anyway we all love each other but i hope those troubles be in mind before building a fun raid

ascended armor was the dead for my alts

I know its just a minimal dps difference lets say 10% ?

but for me who like play top its hard to let go and GW2 is the game where gearing up is the hardest i ever saw. getting ur gear on one char max is like getting a legendary.

Armor pieces weapons accessories infusions for fractals a plus 10 infusion cost more then 100 g

I know its not necessary to play so but before acendend i always used my warrior or mesmer as well now I’m guardian only.

if ante could tune down acendend armor to half of the cost it would be great

can this tread be shut down before its getting really ugly plz? Politics religion those are never end up good in forums

you could just not read it if its so upsetting?

its a game forum for war stories go to a war forum plz,

can this tread be shut down before its getting really ugly plz? Politics religion those are never end up good in forums

no politics in game please.

Nury.3062:

Just take a screenshot….

and then?

here my trouble

I made 3 perfect armor mix and match and i dont wanna loose them but same time i get bored.

Would it be possible to get a item which transform mix and match armor into an outfit ?

lets say 100 gems ? just kidding ok 300 gems !….. 350 but that would be my limit !

wow thats really show respect how fast devs welcome player 0o

agreed i didnt joint it this year at all

was such a bad and confusing memory last year

I almost felt dirty hunting villager down or hiding like a coward

there was a big spoiler on the chinese website

but I feel more happy gw2 do it as a surprise

Donari.5237:

One short comment on legendary armor, if it is introduced: However it is obtained, it should not take as long per piece as a legendary weapon does. After all, you need six pieces to make a set. The question becomes, what percentage of the player base do we want to have access to the armor after what period of time, given some work on their part to assemble it? Obviously 100% in 7 days is a Bad Idea. But 2% in a year could be just as bad.

I’d prefer that it not be completely raid-tied, either, though I can see raids being the prime source of armor components. While there should be some rewards that are raid-specific to show you’ve done well in that area, what people are saying about legendary armor leans it towards more general use, and thus pressures non-raiders to raid or feel left out of something highly useful.

I like legendary armor with stat swich and with up to so many different looks safed up as u can choose stats so that every time u change ur stats u also can change ur look for free after u once transmutet a certain look to a stat

Hi Chris great read so far and amzing u read all here. i must admit I hopeing for the result as a point of interest show.

Also the result / summary of this talk should be a sticky

keep going

First Raid encounter should be Zaithan

reason is he already has a great build up with the PS secondly he is already designed and look awesome. Third reason the end of PS was a big disappointment and we all love a rematch with him.

Encounter with him in detail I’m not sure yet but i would love if player who be killed by him become his servants. Powerfull servants so that with every dead player the fight become much harder.

I have a question

Ppl say nobody should be carried/ pull there weight in those raids.

So how is that monitored/ controlled ?

Without a dps meter how we know who is been carried by 20 people?

One things is not making the raids too big – put a relatively low amount as the max numbers of players. 10 or 15 players ensures that there are not too many people in the raid, and thus makes it harder for each individual player to hide it if they’re not pulling their weight.
Alot of it lies in the design of the encounters as well. If you make the encounters difficult and complex enough, everyone will need to do their part, or the raid fails.
You can’t base the encounter on having
2 people doing thing 1
3 people doing thing 2
3 people doing thing 3
2 people to spare
etc.
There has to be something everyone needs to do (it’s doesn’t have to be super specific, but I hope you get what I’m saying).
This is also why scaling is a bad idea. It will make it much more likely that 1 or more players in the team don’t have anything (important) to do.

I like that idea

I remember in my old raiding time there where moments where some class got a specific job, like kiting mobs or pulling or coin a certain action at a certion moment

very like ur solution:)

By not inviting strangers in the group and play with people who you know well.

Also I can safely say that we do not need to discuss DPS meters in this proposal.

Chris

is not about DPS Meter my question focus more on the point that ppl will start the blame game very fast. without thinking about a solution for that those runs will be a Kick Party very fast, with a lot unwanted classes.

I think this aspect is something what ppl should keep in mind in 5 man dungeons kick abuse was already a big subject. not talking about instance stealing.

And thanks was my first dev response ever :P

@Galen Grey
@cesmode

about normalized raid gear

WoW currently does this with challenge mode dungeons. In this game all gear above item level 463 will get scaled down. (more about it from the wiki: Gear will retain all hit and expertise, so players can remain capped. Stats that will be scaled down are secondary ones.)

Why not make the GW2 version of it, with a much more broader approach? No need for a new kind of gear, Galen already had an (imho) good idea: use the sPvP-armor build. Everyone – from the get go – has the same stats available in his build-library. You retain the skins from your PvE gear.

I love this suggestion because it solves many problems. Players would always be on the same power level so no place for gear discrimination. As only lv.80 players can enter the raid, there can be no level-discrimination as well. Balancing would be a dream come true for the devs, so the encounters could be finetuned perfectly.

How about taking it a step further and taking the full PvP build idea for raids?

Everyone is auto-set to level 80, with all normal traits unlocked, just like in PvP. Gear works the same as well. Thus, anyone can quickly whip up a character and throw them into raids, or set up a character with a raid build and gear that doesn’t match their PvE build/gear.

Of course, this has problems, but we can solve that too. In fact, we can solve two problems at the same time. Problem one is people that don’t know what they’re doing getting into raids. Problem two is that the devs are going to face a period of learning as they implement raids. So, we make the first three or so raids a learning experience for both the players and devs. The devs get to try a few things and see how they work before cranking them up to 11 for later raids, which will be harder. The players gain items that must be thrown into the Mystic Forge to create a “key” of sorts that they need to have on them to get into the later raids. (I’d suggest the key be Accountbound, but arguments can be made for Soulbound.)

I would also like to say that I really like the idea of non-equipment keys of some sort needed to progress through a series of raids. This creates some of the benefits of a gear treadmill without most of the downsides of it.

That sounds nice but a little bit it would dumb the game down at the same time. I like the idea that I find my own gear. Also I hope for acended armor drop loot.

Plus player who commit to the right gear showing some spirit IMO

Mmm would this way it not end up that the casual players are much more rich?

cesmode.4257:

Hi, I mentioned this in my first post a few moments ago. I could be out of date as well as this mind set that we were given early on…but isn’t the entire game ‘endgame’ ? Hop in, do whatever you want to do. No pressure, nada. Take your time, the whole thing is your oyster. When you start creating level 80 content only, ala raids, you segregate the playerbase much like other games where its then a rush to max level to do the raids. All of the gorgeous 1-80 content you have in this game becomes completely trivial and a stepping stone to the real game. You might as well just allow people to boost to 80 via potions or something and skip leveling all together because it becomes absolutely meaningless. A meaningless time sink. I didnt need 80 levels to learn my class. Maybe less than two dozen and I had it down. The rest was just enjoyment because the 1-80 content was nice. I leveled through it without any pressure. Put max level content in the game, and we will feel rushed to get to the real stuff. Its human nature.

For this reason, I do not think raids belong in GW2. But if they are to be implemented, I do have suggestions which I have shared

I bolded a section of this that I wanted to inquire about. Do you think the fact the game has been live for over 2 years now change your thoughts on this? This is definitely a common occurrence with new MMO’s that launch with raiding, but what about a game that didn’t launch with raiding? Is there still an issue of players “rushing to 80” when a large percentage of the player base already has at least one 80? Thoughts?

Ppl always rushing to Lv 80 wow trained us I think the npe was made to work against that.

Maybe joining a raid should have more requirements then just Lv 80 ?
