Guild Wars 2

Considering that its not the only official reply we have gotten, taking that one reply that stands out from the others. No, we dont need to take it as a fact.

Boosting the hp doesnt make it more fun or challenging, just more boring. Changing the mechanics? Yes possibly, if done right.

<3 I use both email authentication and googles two way authentication. Though never had any access attempts above my own so far.

Ive been waiting for this since release. This and more hairstyles, beards, faces etc.

Most mmo’s out there have the trinity. Take your pick!

Yeah, and now all my dungeon groups consist of 1-2 support guardians and 3 DPSers.

“No trinity” sure works.

Your dungeon groups = Far from all dungeon groups.

It varies, sometimes its great and sometimes its crap. As for the mad king outfit, I dont think that voice is ment to be very good. I belive its actually ment to be slightly annoying.

Its not just in wvw, I got this while doing Tequatl the other day. It has also happened in Lions arch during halloween. Sometimes it ends up in a crash, sometimes it doesnt.

Its something related with tons and tons of things happening at once, like a wvw zerg or.. well.. any zerg big enough basically on anything using lots of things with lots of effects at the same time. Its like there can be x number of sounds being played at the same time and if a certain limit is reached above that, it breaks. Just a theory.. I have really no clue.

I dislike the fact that alot of the time, the trash feels harder than the actual bosses. And sometimes they throw tons and tons of trash mobs at you. Dunno what people consider fun, but to me that is not fun.

Reducing all mobs health in dungeons by 25-50% and stopping people from skipping 90% of the mobs would be a start.

I dont think doing that for all mobs is a good idea, the better (but more time consuming) would be to tweak each trash pack separately. Some might need more health, some less. Some packs might need thinning out. Some trash packs could be replaced with a mini-boss. A longer cooldown on some mobs abilities, shorter on some. But yeah, dungeons need an overhaul, both difficulty tweaks and increasing the fun factor.

I dont think the german rep had any clue whatsoever honestly.

What server are we talking about here? Server population varies. I find however, that how empty zones feel varies from day to day, depending on time, whether people are on holiday etc. Sometimes there is a big zerg chaining the centaur events in harathi highlands, sometimes there are people running all over the place, sometimes the zone feels very empty. I find this goes for any zone at least on far shiverpeaks.

There have been dev posts about this and the only “real” info they have given is that they cannot take a stance on this. But considering that its about as harmless as nvidia inspector and other such tools, I personally assume that its safe and will keep on using it. There is already a big thread on this on the general section though, with dev posts included.

I agree, there are alot of bugs in the personal story. Personally Ive been lucky and the only story bug Ive encountered so far was the one where female npc voices werent playing (immersion breaking for sure, but didnt halt the quest itself) but that got fixed. At the moment I hear alot about the bug in forging the pact, which I am to do soon for the first time on any char.

One of the big reasons I started playing gw2 was because, there were no raids. Harder dungeons, yes! (the one coming up in the next update seems to be a good start) Raids, no.

Yeah, it makes no sense that they arent in the collections!

Nope, you cannot. Fortunately (or unfortunately) those choices have little or no impact on later story quests.

I can easily see him dying already in battle of claw island. I want him to be the one dying instead of forgal/tybalt/sieran!

Though it wouldnt suprise me if trahearn comes up as a bigger part later on, I can easily see him getting corrupted in some way. I’d kill him if I could… right now!

Apart from taking screenshots, I’d love to see a first person view, simply because it would make some jumping puzzles easier.

I can see an eastern themed class using polearms, staffs and umm swords?

Personally I find warmaster Forgal to be a yawnfest. Didnt like him at all. Not his voice, and certainly not his looks, and whats up with his eyes? Either he has some kind of eye condition or he simply never sleeps.

You can be certain that someone somewhere will be recording parts of the event. Heck, alot of people will. Im sure you’ll see videos come up shortly after stuff has happened, especially on big guild wars 2 sites like gw2 guru or gw2 insider.

Sounds like a great idea! Nothing I would personally craft, but I can see others more invested in wvw that would love to do this!

Sweet fx is not much different from changing settings with nvidia inspector etc.

I have no issues with the female or male norn voiceovers for the player. I kind of like them! The human male voiceover however.. is coupled with lack of good beards, a big part of why I chose my guardian to be norn male.

Just like with dps meters or some kind of number measuring gear.. inspect? No, just no.

You dont actually have to go through the door. The other two tombs, yeah, you need to use keys to open those, but this one? For me all I had to do was walk up to it.

That is correct, there is now a “remember this network” function. Im not sure if its automatic or not but its there.

No, no meters, not now, not ever. If there are meters, they can and will be abused by elitist jerks. If there are meters, nobody else but me should be able to see them.

So.. you are only repairing for the achievement? Not to actually help your team? Because thats what it sounds like.

There are blessings a norn (and other races too?) can get by kneeling infront of certain shrines in for example dredgehaunt cliffs. There are also temp buffs that can be gotten from consumables at some of those shrines. I thought you could only have one though and that they wore off on death, but I might be wrong.

My first thought here is, what about email authentication, since he might not be able to access that email adress.

Guilds are global, not tied to a specific server. Only influence and upgrades are tied to a specific server.

Same, happened to me just now. Must be some kind of bug.

There are also alot of people that aint in school, but hey, I dont make a thread and whine the times when events have been in the middle of the night for me.

Dunno on my other 6 chars, but my guardian and mesmer are both norn and I prefer to use “become the wolf” on both.

Oh but I do use flesh golem on my necro, even if Id like for it to be less “leroy jenkins”.

Arent the gods, well.. dead?

Ive not been to orr much, but the few times Ive been there, I feel like the ball in a flipper game. Its horrible :P

Did the people in range damage him or just run into the room as the “last” person died?

Did path 3 in arah exp for the first time two night ago (heck had not even done any storymode). We had trouble with lupicus, but in the end, it was just down to nailing the tactics really. I dont want to know how many tries though but three of us were there for the first time, and two of us didnt even have exotics. Heck I even had a green scepter on my guardian and some random yellows I picked up from the tp!

Its all down to quick thinking and good timing! Of course being on teamspeak in an all guild group helps.

Eir.. make it happen! :P

Yes, there are alot of inquest, however it is soloable.. unless they buffed the inquest recently.

This is why there is a downed penalty. This is why there are interrupts, knockbacks, stuns. This is why there are finishing moves! Oh, so you use google translate after all, it all makes sense now.

Completing the jumping puzzles also gives points to your server as well if Im not incorrect?

Heard a funny story on tales of tyria, where a person from a different server was being griefed, but the person from the first server helped kill and keep off the griefers so the person trying to complete the puzzle was able to.

Thats Anets design, and they are labeled group because anet wants them to be events that only a group can take on. The same issue occurs in most mmo’s where some quests are ment for groups and are impossible or extremely hard to solo in areas that have few people in them.

Perhaps when they improve the loot for group events, people will be more willing in joining in. Lets hope so.

Some events are more enjoyable and fun doing solo, some are just a hassle and some impossible. Some zones, no matter high or low seem to have more people in them and of course alot of the time, if there is a dragon, people flock to that zone close to the spawn of the dragon itself. It also depends on when people generally are online.

Having a karma pool is both a good thing and a bad thing though, why do events in an area to get enough karma for a piece of lower level armor when you can just rush to the next and the next as soon as possible? And if karma vendors offered account bound gear, what would be the point of going there again with another character? That could leave the areas even more empty than they already are at some points.

Thats odd, I never have any problems tagging mobs on any class, while not being in a group. What class are you playing, what skills are you using etc?

The simple reason being, they might be looking for more than one dungeon. They might also, while waiting, craft, use the trading post and much more. Why camp outside a dungeon, thats just boring.

I got 8 characters. One of each class, 50% male, 50% female. 2 humans (male and female), 2 asura (male and female), 2 norn (male and female), 1 sylvari female and 1 charr male.

The male humans look bland and there are far too few masculine faces. Even the beards are seriously lacking. The norn look great, both males and females. Sylvari.. just as with night elves in world of warcraft, the males mostly look like crap but the females look good, mostly. Charr, well, the similarities between the sexes are not huge, and the same goes for the asura. Ah yes, and I hate the voice for the human male character. That combined with the lack of good beards is why I made my main, a guardian, norn male.

Dont races already have race specific animations for certain weapons? Im pretty sure my two asura handle their weapons differently than any other races of the same classes.

Happened to me last night in WvW. Only goes away if I restart the client completely.

Noticed this in sorrows embrace the other night, along with the annoying “no no no, the armory blablabla” repeats.
