Guild Wars 2

it really does feel nice that sylvari get the kitten for once…not we charr. Excuse me while i get a cup of tea and take a seat in the corner to watch and chuckle

as a charr player i barely can contain my joy… (obvios sarcasm is obvios)

http://i.imgur.com/pD8QIg4.png

that’s not even a joke is it? that’s actually how it looks. god kitten .
It’s hilarious as all hell though.

its in the code since halloween… and i doubt its a joke given a-nets record of zero kittens attitude if its charr related

as a charr player i barely can contain my joy… (obvios sarcasm is obvios)

Well.. it depends on how good the dungeon is, how good the armor set\weapon set looks, how challenging it is and so on. Would i pay for a decent dungeon that tears me a new one cause of challenge with a nice looking armor set at the end waiting for me (after i got the tokens together obviosly)? Sure, why not, i in fact would welcome it.

Nick.6972:

Low drop rates encourage people to use gem store.
The sales would go down if you could “easily” get better looking weapon/armor skins in game.

…if there would be like 10 times the amount of skins in the gem store and branch out into more designs id agree…

they popped up with the NPE patch…just a bug, nothing more

outfits? None… none at all, not even a trace of them. I want skins, armor skins, pieces i can combine, dye and wear like i want. Keep these only 4 colour slots and shackles of creativity away from me as far as possible

-solo-ing every fractal\dungeon story\path as far as possible (exludes button pushing and stuff you NEED to have more then 1 person to)

-getting all dungeon armors and weapons (close to finishing that one)

- buying the molten jetpack with gold i earned in game and not the gems i buy

- getting a darn sunless skin (that i try to get since 1 year now)

- finally getting that “illusive” perfect engineer look i want so badly (up to a-net releasing skins for that)

- finding the boss that actually makes me actually give up in defeating it

- getting more into wvw

- winning atleast ONCE against a necromancer in a 1 vs 1 fight

- waiting for the x-pac to update my goals, cause of now i dont want a legendary cause they all look stupid to me

Mo Mo.1947:

Okay so that armor looks like a modified version of Scarlett’s armor that’s now available in the gem store. So Scarlett returns in the x-pac? O.o

that armor is just the magitech armor, its always on sale and i personally use it since day1 of my playtime. It was always there since i can remember and a-net most likely used it for the trailer cause its the armor thats one of the very few choices you got if you want an engineer that looks like what many people imagine if they think about fantasy engineers. The helmet however.. thats new, its in the code since halloween though…thats where the picture comes from. Usually magitech comes with a monocle eyepiece. So yea.. (so far) it seems we engineers only get 1 new piece of armor that screams engi and that it will look like kitten on charr (whats my concern) so i atleast want to have my backpiece fix to have SOMETHING nice in the visual department for my main and favourite class.

Basaltface.2786:

If they wont get fixed in an acceptable way then i actually wont buy the x-pac and move on…and im not even dramatic or trolling right now. I want a good looking, as glitch free as possible AND like a proper end game char looking charr engineer. I want for once also enjoy backpieces to their fullest and if thats too much to ask for after 1,5 years of BEGGING for a darn fix in a topic that got atm 1339 replies and 116283 views then ill find another mmo that appreciates all their professions equally.

Bit off topic.. but if that seriosly IS the helmet from the trailer on charr and everything else engineer related in the x-pac is this level of quality then they can put it where the sun dont shines aswell

wtf is that kitten xD hahahah that made my day xD

heh.. it seems to be this helmet here

so yea… i do hope its not

well.. i do believe the GS is gonna be the heavy damage melee\cleave weapon necros need anyways

so… not worth it to watch?

Sammo.3894:

thanks guyz,
I got the deluxe edition at the end of the recent sale, are the bonuses valuable in game, or just convinience and tiny boost vs monsters?

Well the said bonuses you can get from these boosters you can also get from banners high ranking members of every guild can plant anywhere in the world. Valuable? Certainly.. specially for leveling for that extra xp boost or if you are out for high level loot later on with magic find or karma (karma is a form of currency you get for doing guild wars2´s form of quests). The boosters you get with the deluxe edition are basically just like those you get from said banners.. just convinient in your inventory and ready to use anytime you want. You see… guild wars isnt a p2w game. Anything you need to be stat wise as well equipped as others is available in game. If im not completely wrong you do get skins for your armor in the deluxe edition too. You can use these to change the appearance of your currently equipped armor pieces to make yourself a nice look…and i think there is an inventory box in it too…18 extra spots, really good for starters. You can get more inventory space easily by crafting more and bigger bags or buying them for copper, silver and gold from the trading post aswell. Well, to sum it up, the stuff you get with the deluxe edition are convinient and make the first steps into tyria a tiny bit easier

I always hated the reasoning why Logan was hated. Rytlock was essentially kittened off that Logan chose Hos over Bros and he threatened to kill him over it. How messed up is that? Like no one has done what Logan did before.

You mean sacrifice an opportunity to destroy an Elder Dragon, save Glint and make the world a better place (with 1 less monarchy, so that’s a triple win)? Yeah I’m sure we’ve all done that at one point.

people tend to forget what “1 less monarchy” would mean.

human/charr war would still be ongoing, the corrupt ministry (who, might i remind you, has connections to the white mantle) would take over, and ebonhawke would’ve fallen. if logan hadn’t held the branded off long enough to keep the queen from being overwhelmed, most, if not all, of humanity would have been gone by now.

but yeah, snaff died, how dare that logan.

If I recall corectly , he didn’t exactly do much…. Jennah did most of the heavy lifting.

^^ Basically he acted the knight in shining armor when the damsel wasn’t in too much of a distress.

that “damsel” could kick logans boot licking kitten to the moon and back with a backhanded slap…

BrotherBelial.3094:

What’s with the Logan hate? I like the way Rytlock and Logan interact.

well logan pretty much ran off to protect the queen.. basically the most powerfull mesmer currently known in the middle of a kittening dragon battle that resulted in glint´s death. I dont like him either.. the humans deserve a cooler destiny edge hero.

He’s kind of tragic really, dude’s under some heavy magic mojo and the woman he loves and would give anything for consistently treats him like a pile of kitten.

The people we should hate are Jennah and maybe Anise. They mind controlled him and got him in a ‘no right answers’ setup. And then after he let his friends down, they’re super contemptuous of him and keep him out of the loop (per the kidnapping scheme).

Agreed. Hate Jennah, not Logan. After all he’s still pretty kitten and has sacrificed himself for the team (when we all thought he died in the last battle against Zhaitan.)

thats the least he could do after kittening over tyrias only (known) ally dragon, getting snaff killed AND basically leaving his “sorta” brother rytlock behind while fighting a god darn elder dragon. And yea.. ryltock and logan exchanged items that mean a lot to them… rytlocks blood legion pendant and queen jennah´s silk scarf. There is some tight stuff going on and that running off really broke a bro code here…and one does not simply break a bro code ESPECIALLY not in a battle against an enemie that pretty much is a very real threat against all of tyria. When your priority is to protect somebody who is very well equipped to protect herself…most likely even more so then logan ever will be able to while dooming a really nice, friendly, smart, loving and powerfull dragon ally, getting a legendary asura inventor killed while breaking his apprentice´s heart (zoijja) that saw snaff as a father figure, betraying your sorta brother and tight friend thats the tribune of the most war hungry legion of a race who fought the humans for quite a while now but obviosly wanting peace AND sodding friendship with humanity aswell serve as a perfect example that peace can be archived and then also having audacity to pretty much call him unworthy of the sword he weilds cause its a human artifact is tragic? No…logan is a kitten, a horrible HORRIBLE kittenbag who does not deserve his family name , his place in the destiny edge or even to be a human hero. I as a charr player can only say that i am VERY sorry for humans to have this kitten as their representative in the destiny edge and i do hope he gets axed off in a horrible way like he deserves and replaced by a worthy hero. I rest my case..

the glowy caprax armor skin collection is IMO a good base for a precursor collection. You fight bosses to gather pieces, need to bring certain pieces somewhere use em on stuff, combine pieces to get a full one and basically master SW to its fullest. Neat idea imo. Lets think a bigger scale… the x-pac is gonna (hopefully) add a lot of content. Easy to make it like "get a piece of boss a, a piece of boss b, a little magic jingamabob from that place you cant reach cept you fully master your glider and defeat that insane hard champ that you gotta solo and its perfectly tailored to be a challenge against your class, bash mordi over the head and take a piece of his tail..or a tooth or whatever, translate some ancient writings to learn about the history of a ruin and solve the puzzle within to get another magic doodaddle, get some crafting recipe for a precursor gift, mix it all, add a little love and a bit of salt, toss that nonsence into the mystic forge and BAM precursor is yours. Would for sure make more fun then to cough up enough gold for exotics to dump into the forge on a daily basis.

this… medium and also taking charr in consideration, also the weapon as hammer skin

well… i as a charr \engineer player already got a massive kick to the jaw by the hype train…

http://i.imgur.com/pD8QIg4.png

Stupid me.. expecting something nice for armor for charr…

Mega bomb (skill) : Allows the engineer to deploy a seriosly destructive time bomb with a 5 second timer. Bomb acts as a blast finisher, knockback, burn, confusion and does massive damage. Also does an obvios ticking sound or visual cue that doomsday is about to happen for pvp\wvw reasons. Radius 500-ish

Toolbelt skill: Trap bomb: mix of glue and smoke bomb

Magnetic Boots (skill): Grants 5 seconds of stability if used, also acts as stun breaker and removes cripple and chill

Toolbelt skill: Magnetic kick: a light damage kick with 1 stack of confusion and slight knockback (sorta like the rocket boot kick, just with kockback and confusion basically)

Machine gun turret: A high damage turret that fires 10 bullets in a rapid succession sorta like a thief´s P\P unload skill. Long cooldown between unloads and the turrets live points are tenuous at best. (yea.. basically a berserker turret)

Overcharge: Instant cooldown reset on the turret to fire another volley right away

Detonate: Blast finisher

Toolbelt skill: Speedloader: 5s quickness on firearms (rifle\pistols)

Bottle of slick (skill): Throws a ground targeted bottle that leaves a 10 second oil
slick behind. Enemies who walk on it get 3 knockdown

Toolbelt skill: Molotow kittentail: Inflicts burn and slight on impact on the enemie and leaves a 5 second fire field behind. If thrown into the oil slick it ignites it and inflicts heavy damage to anybody in the burning oil, also turns the oil slick into a fire combo field.

Elixir- F (for frenzy): Grants the user fury, 5 stacks of might and quickness for 7 seconds while hitting the stamina down to 0%, stamina starts recovering after the elixir wears off.

Toolbelt skill: Throw elixir-f: Grants fury and 3 stacks of might for 5 seconds

Grenade launcher (Kit): Same like the grenade kit just uses target system and skill 1
is turned to an auto attack (basically works like grenades underwater)

Heavy cannon (kit). Equips the engineer with a heavy cannon kit

1- Ranged auto attack with 1s cooldown, heavy impact damage with some aoe radius ( sorta like pistol 1 just way more powerfull, actually on par with the bomb kit´s 1) and a range of 1000

2- A straight path following slow moving projectile that hurts everything in its path (think asura megablasters from the crucible of eternity dungeon just not homing) per tick and can be detonated like flamer 2 but keeps on following its path slowly till it hits a wall or its 1200 range limit

3- A frontal knockback cleave or conic aoe with the cannon to get up to 3 annoying pests off your kitten .

4- a backwards cannon jump with some low to mediocre aoe damage from the jump itself (think acid bomb just no ticks) that leaves a 2-3 s combo field behind, blind would be pretty perfect for that

5- High damage ground targeted rather big aoe with fire field

toolbelt skill- adds confuse to the next 3 attacks with it

Healing skill: Elixir-E (for emergency): Heals for 5000 HP and removes 2 conditions instantly

Toolbelt skill: Throw Elixir-E : removes 1 condition

Elite skill: Elixir B² : Heals for 5000 HP, grants stability, aegis, 10 stacks of might, swiftness, protection, fury, retailiation and vigor for 15 seconds.

…oh boy.. and my hype got a massive kick into the shins. I present you the charr version..

avatarpranav.1379:

Thanks for all the help guys! Really pumped to level him up in anticipation of the hammer. Trying my best not to use tomes haha!

The engineer community, like the guard community, seems very nice and helpful! I’m glad to see that! A couple other professions’ subforums aren’t so nice.. not gonna take any names haha.

well if you never made an engi before i really do suggest to hold back with the tomes…well get it up to lvl 20 so you got atleast some features unlocked…cause with just the engineer´s “main” weapon…as far as you can call rifles, pistols and shields main weapons you really dont get enough to work with. After you unlocked 1-2 kits i really suggest to level “manually” and get used to switching kits or potions and the toolbelt abilities

Nikkle.4013:

Horrik’s bazooka should totally replace the mortar elite.

Thats exactly the idea i got. Basically same skills like the mortar just mobile…heck give it an ammo limit to balance it out or maybe a movement speed reduction cause it does seem like a rather heavy weapon and let it scale with the armor like our kits do now and let it crit and you got a menace in wvw, pvp and pve alike. Just imagine engineers shooting heavy explosive shells up keep walls…or down keep walls, giving carpet bombing support for their team in pvp or just heavy dps from range on a boss or champion while dropping healing aoes onto the team members that currently engage the enemie in close combat. Man.. this would be so kittening amazing.

Knighthonor.4061:

Man Hope we get some cool kits to go with this for Melee kits that is…

Melee? If the hammer delivers we wont need that….know what id love to see IF we really get new kits?

Rozbuska.5263:

We will get Hammer of Pure Democracy and Drones.. I guess our spec will be called " Obama ":-)

yea and if you deploy em your char says “yes we can” ? Heck id pay good money to see that actually

rytlock already won, he first off took a nice vacation for a long time, got a class change that he also pioneers and he seems to be able to call upon legends of the past, he looks more kitten then ever and most likely crawls about in the jungle since a while now (i think atleast). Imo he would just freeze mordi with his coolness. God thanks that somebody brings the badas(s back soon…

tagari.3915:

WOW Hayashi,thanks!!
You’ve given me exactly what i needed!!
I’ve decided to go with the Engineer,thanks to everyone who participated and provided with insight for both classes!
One last question though..My friend who has chosen ranger,has changed his mind onto warrior…Does this shift synergies towards a profession?

yes and no. It really depends on the other party, if they use their blast finishers in your combo fields, stay in your radius of healing…etc. Basically almost every combination of classes can work together and do amazing things IF they respond to eachother, know what the skills of the other one do, adapt to situations (what as engi is a piece of cake) and simple said just work as a team…and like i mentoned as engi you can so quickly change your tactics that there shouldnt be any issues…especially not with wars and rangers

edit: Also as engineer you are basically a sentient toolbox on legs, you gonna notice that soon enough if you look into your skillset, kits, traits and weapons.

very sorry op… but no way arround it…

From the video, the engineer with the drones, struck me as a minion mancer necro with robots.

The drones weren’t shooting things[nor seemed to have guns attached], so I think it might either be a skill or a mechanic. In the case of a skill, the drones would likely have a specific purpose to perform, acting as a buff to the engi or something on those lines, like maybe flying mines to crash into people. If they’re a mechanic connected to the special, they might be multipurpose resources, which is less likely.

they “smell” to me like something along the lines of what turrets do…just different if that makes sence.

Basically if you deploy them they follow you they follow you (obviosly) and give you buffs and if you nuke em they do stuff like blast finishers, short time shield bubble or heck maybe even combo fields. Imagine how usefull that would be

but was there 4 of them?

I guess maybe Healing Turret would become a drone as well.

maybe its like with these necro minions that you can detonate. Ya get 2 of those if ya summon them. Well lets see what they brewed together over at a-net when they go into details

well.. next payment i plan to make to a-net is 100 euros…means expansion and whatever is left for gem cards for gem store shenanigans…cause now i can justify it again to myself to invest more into the game and there seems to be no game coming out in the next time that really interrests me anyways (talkin bout a shooter or rpg or stuff like that)

chubby small fem charr with a slightly dopey expression…like all my chars

well since i dont know the class at all (obviosly) i gonna level it the…npe way BUT i gonna use tomes from lvl 40 on to 80…40 levels are good enough to grasp the basic idea on how stuff works id say

well logan pretty much ran off to protect the queen.. basically the most powerfull mesmer currently known in the middle of a kittening dragon battle that resulted in glint´s death. I dont like him either.. the humans deserve a cooler destiny edge hero.

well.. there MIGHT be a clue to that. If you go into the citadel you can visit rytlocks office and there is in fact a spear weapon that you can interact with. Its the lionguard spear…ya know the golden skins that the lionguard dudes use. Its there since i can remember. You even can interact with it. The description text calls it a halberd covered in dust. Do with that what you like

ZombieLeach.5862:

I think this would be a neat novelty for Charr characters, but I don’t see how this could be applied to the other races. An Asura running on all fours would be a rather humorous sight.

my preciousssssss the bookahzes stole it!

well i guess they gonna open the pavillion again or actually the SAB or maybe got a new event ready to celebrate the incoming xpac. Well i really dont think they would let people sitting there with blue balls now that the hype train runs on all engines

what id love is a “besieger” that gives you access to a heavy cannon kit…sorta like that bazooka thingy horrik carries arround

Basaltface I would sacrifice all my kit rotations if I could have the heavy shoulder cannon as an elite. omg. For real though I’d also like longbow, sword, mace, spear… maybe even focus for sheer access to skins. If we get longbow, I’m definitely cosplaying shirtless Rambo on my main character. If we get mace, I’ll be so glad to go toe to toe with a mace/shield warrior or guardian any day. If I get spear, I’ll do my best to look like a LoL character guarding creeps lol. Really looking forward to this expansion.

well with the hammer i already get what i wanted. I take anything they might throw at the class as a little cherry ontop. But yea.. a targeted ,damage heavy, ranged weapon would be nice, so if they really fork over a bazooka i prolly gonna need new pants lol.

Of course – in fact I’ll be buying six copies of it. My five sons and I all play.

if i gonna buy it? Hell yea?! I gonna buy the crap out of my copy. Ill rip that thing so extreme from the shelf that the pressure weave of my arm will shatter the bones of the ones behind me. Ill slam the money so kitten the table that it shatters to pieces and the floor under it breaks and then i will go home and install it… i might even turn my monitor sideways and shake it to make the bar fill faster.
