Special Abilities (Sleath and others)

Yeah, I think all professions should get a unique system.

Here’s how this should work, I think:

Elementalists should get these attunements which let them swap their skill sets to different elements. These elements each have their own characteristics, like Water is more healing based, Fire is damage based, Air is mobility based, and Earth is slowing/tanking based.

Guardians should be able to burn things and help others with their skills. They should also have block and regen.

Warriors should get these gigantic attacks which you charge up by hitting things.

Engineers should have this toolbelt that lets them activate special attacks on things.

Ranger should get a pet that does cool damage and has its own skillbar while also getting boosts from your skill bar!

Necromancer should have this form that puts him closer to the Mists (and death) which will allow him to channel necrotic energies! He should charge this similar to warriors but instead of hitting things, how about when things die?

And Mesmers should have clones so that it’s confusing to find the real one. They can even explode the clones to have special effects!

i dont see how windows would make it look any different.

Only time o.s has made games look “better” is when windows forces you to have to upgrade to get the latest dx, which happend from windows xp that didnt support dx11.

So even if you did go from windows xp to windows 8, gw2 should’nt look any better since gw2 is dx9.

Going to WIndows 8 grants a significant speed boost to those who have over 4 processor cores.

ANyways, there’s a bug with 8.1 in GW2 at this moment where if you alt tab the game crashes.

Is not a bug with Guild Wars, every single game played on fullscreen crashes when you try to alt+tab back into it (atleast on AMD cards) so it’s either a problem with the new GPU drivers or the OS itself (probably the former).

Here’s a lesson about Windows (MicroSoft)
Windows 8 is just trash, the only good thing about it, is the boot time. But still, win8 pc’s use GPT harddrive partition tables. It’s sooooo bad. First thing i did with my win8 laptop from my work, was removing everything and set the partition table to MBR. Why is GPT bad? cus it’s only compatible with win8 and maybe 7, but 7 default is MBR. Microsoft is like the biggest scum company in the software world. MS just tries to make your PC work only with their products. They spent alot of money to spread lies about openGL in order to promote DirectX that only works on their OS, while openGL is faster and works on all OS’s. Can u imagine that all games worked on all systems!! to bad MS had to spend millions to spread the lies, but hey, it kept them popular, cus games are the only reason to use windows. So stupid that schools teach directx instead of openGL cus of MS. MicroSoft makes me sick.

u wot m8

I wasnt talking about any bugs. But now that you do bring it upmy game doesnt crash when i alt tab, with a amd 7950 never has.

now none of my prior posts were talking about any bugs as i have no idea about the bug you described, although apparently it should be effecting me

edit: I just re-read that you said your bug effects all games? im pretty sure thats not an amd problem as i have never crashed from alt tabbing on my 7950, i gotta ask though what drivers are you using and your specs, i’d like to help if your still havin problems

I think it was actually an secret magic incantation involving players’ 2 keys. Between the Zhaitan battle and thieves across all servers, ‘2’ was finally pressed enough times to release the energies necessary to form more ascended gear.

i know gw2 is cpu intensive, but i dont see any proof that windows 8 inproves gaming performance enough for it to make a difference what-so-ever, if it did i’d be the first to be updating os.

And as far as i know, the games themselves need to be programmed to take advantage of multiple cores, gw2 i think only uses 2 cores i believe.

If say game a is only programmed to use 2 cores (most current games dont even use 4 cores) how can the o.s help improve that?

Also keep in mind theirs some games that run better on less cores because their so unoptimized for using multiple cores.

All im saying is, the communties im involved with would know if windows 8 improved gaming performance, and their would be benchmarks proving this.

But anyways i was more talking to the O,P about how i dont think windows 8 makes his game look nicer like he implied, thats all my first post was about.

can you please show me some proof, link me a benchmark or somthing because i find it impossible that the o.s increases 4 core proccessor performance IN A GAME.

I also find it hard to believe that windows 8 increases performance with quad cores even on basic os tasks.

Ive read that windows 8 requires more rescources actually, (not that this would make a significant impact)

Btw i work in the computer industry, that DOES NOT mean im always right but i just don’t understand how these things you guys are stating could possibly work.

EDIT: ok you said over 4 cores, but even still, that wouldnt effect guild wars 2’s usage of over 4 cores because guildwars 2 .exe and the A.P.I (AKA DIRECT X ) control these functions.

Preferably PICTUTRES of heavy mixxed sets like my current, that goes with raident / hellfire ; gauntlets / shoulderpads (and perhaps also the hellfire helmet?)

I may just change my chestpiece to arah, keep my dye celestial as is then use radient gauntlets / shoulders…. but then im stuck using celestial dye only!

I’m having trouble of which set to choose, i like to use mixed sets, perhaps slightly alter my current?

You think PvE players got it bad? You should see the sPvP players that have got barely 2500 AP.

Why is it always the PvE players complaining?

Because players that only play pve and refuse to try some wvw or spvp mainly consists of crybabies.

The achievement requires you to finish a jumping puzzle in a warzone.
If you cannot survive it then you need to l2p as everyone i know has been able to do the wvw jp AT SOME POINT.

NOONE NOT EVEN WVW PROS GET TO ALWAYS HAVE ACCESS TO WVW JP, SOMETIMES THE ENEMY HAS TOO MANY PEOPLE THEIR, SO YOU COME BACK OR GATHER YOUR OWN ARMY.

Us wvw players have to GRIND ENDLESSY IN PVE FOR ASCENDED GEAR yet pve players have to just COME to a wvw area and cry.

I DONT CRY ABOUT ASCENDED because PVE IS PART OF THE GAME JUST LIKE WVW

Ok so my shattered dragon wings i have to choose to use in pve or pvp?

I want to be able to use these unique back skins in pvp and pve like wth i gotta choose to use it on one half of the game or the other?? Just make it so only the skin part carries over to pvp when u unlock stuff in pve!
this is why i do all my pvp activities in wvw!
(whats gonna happend when they put in gvg? will it be wvw or gvg stats/skins)

Atleast do this for unique one time limited items like scarcerite backpiece / shattered wings so i can use them in wvw and pvp….

Although i believe unlocking skins ANY in pve should also unlock them for use in pvp. (Not Vice versa though)

World versus world is just really demanding. The game only uses two cores, but push your CPU to 4.4-4.5 and you’ll be fine. No reason to get that CPU and not push it decently high.

the stock cooler sucks, i will overclock it when i get a evo,
my temps on stock i5 3570k with turbo boost to 3.8 (thats default) can get t0 70 o nmax load which scares me

Why would you get a 3570k without an aftermarket cooler? A 212+ Evo is like $40.

Because i already spent 1500 dollars (canadian) on building my computer which was already stretching my budget.

And its not like i need to be able to overclock my i5 ASAP in order to play any new games on max at this momemt. (apparently except only gw2)

I run my i5 3570k at 4.6ghz with speedstep disabled. Paired with a Radeon HD 6970 2gb(+vsync and triple buffering enabled @1680x1050, 4xAF, 4xSSAA), I’ve never seen my framerate dip below 58-60fps in GW2 or any other game for that matter.

I guess you haven’t tried WvW with zergs.

I sure have and @ 58-60fps the entire time.

I meant zerging at the settings OP posted.

I haven’t been in a zerg at 1080p but I imagine it wouldn’t be far different that zerging wvw at 1680×1050. Both resolutions would use nearly the same amount of texture/video memory as well as CPU/RAM resources.

its a lower resolution it phsyicaly cant show over that ammount of pixels, and resolutions make a HUGE difference in fps, look at benchmarks.

Apparently the reason you have to o.c your i5 to get decent fps in 100v100 fights in wvw is because gw2 only uses a single thread?

Please optimize this game to work will 4 cores, its rediculess that my ….

i5 3570k # 3.8ghz, 8gb 1600mhz vengence ram, 7950 oc’ed to 7970 / 680 speeds (actually surpasses both, in clock speed and in benchmarjs)

- computer can’t run wvw without going into the 20 fps somtimes in huge 100v100, 200v200 zerg battles.

EDIT: I RUN EVERYTHING AT 1080P EVERYTHING MAXED EXCEPT REFLECTIONS ON ONLY TERRAIN AND UNITS.

(lowering anything els, besides the resolution doesnt increase my fps at all in big zerg fights)

I think you are confused. Most modern games(including GW2) already take advantage of multiple cores, but they run single threads on each core. There are only so many tasks that the game can hand out to the CPU to process at a time like graphics/physics/sound/networking. Which is why the clock speed of individual cores are so important. This is true for all games that are CPU dependent. They only way you can see performance increases is to overclock your CPU so each core is faster.

Why don’t they multithread and take advantage of hyperthreading? Very few if any games actually use it and they would need a new engine for that.

No im talking about gw2 using 2 cores max, unless all the info i have is wrong, im not talking about games using hyperthreading, you misunderstand a core = a thread.

a game that uses more threads doesnt = hypthreading, hyperthreading trix it into thinking that each core is 2 threads.

I don’t know what is wrong with your PC then. I run an i5 also OC’d to 4.2ghz with similar RAM specs and an old 5850 and get about 40FPS in big 100+ man fights (at 1920×1200, highest settings, etc.).

Also, unless we have actual benchmarks I’m fairly sure an OC’d i7 would bring more than 1FPS increase, I’d say 10 at the least. 10 FPS is still pretty noticeable.

EDIT: For clarity, aimed at TC not person above me.

my i5 isnt oc’ed? i said you need an oc’ed i5 to get half playable frames in 100v100 zerg fights,

and also the i7 gives about 1 fps more then an i5 3570k, proof is in the gaming benchmarks, heres a link http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Intel/Core_i5_3570K_and_i7_3770K_Comparison/8.html
*Half the games, theirs not even 1 fps difference between stock i5 and stock i7

If you know anything about computers you know hyperthreading is the only difference between i5 and i7 (and a .1 faster clock which isnt much), hyperthreading doesnt benefit games

people please do your research before talking about things you dont understand.

Get an i7? Also, how do you know GW2 is not multi-threaded?

an i7 wont do anything, dont listen to this guy if your gaming dont get an i7 as it performs basicly the same as an i5, i7’s are used because they have hyperthreading, which doesn’t increase game performance.

an i7 will not help here, you may get 1-5 fps more, if that, but thats because i7’s are clocked .1 higher then their i5 counterparts.

first of all ur not even running at 1080p, second of all you’r it is overclocked ALOT.

I don’t know if your trying to disprove my point that the game doesnt use all 4 cores, you just proved my point even more, to get decent frame rates AT 1080p you have to overclock your proccessor to insane speeds,

hell your not even running 1080p (which is a waste, considering your system specs).

i could run my game at semi-1080p also and do better, but i shouldn’t have to i can max all other games and get double or triple the fps i get in wvw on new, better looking games.

i didnt add power customiaztion packs because it would hurt competetiveness of wvw / pvp because us serious wvw players relie on skill colors to see what character players are, and skill animaions to see what skills.

But things like giving human males the human female greatsword running skin (having held lower at the side) wouldnt impact this, but actual skill telegraphs im not so sure.

but give our “f” finishing moves variety!

think about having mortal combat style downed state finishing moves! theirs already a cooldown, , think about the possibilities!)

We need more stuff to buy with gems, and less weapon skins locked in rng boxes, but a.net needs to make money,

And i want a.net to succeed, so in order to do so their needs to be more items to be bought in the gem store, i know i would gladly spend more gems if their was some more things in their, the only stuff i like i wont buy because its locked behind low chance rng.

But i feal anet could make way more money off gem store sales if they implemented some of these thngs, even stuff within the same kind of “flavor” as the things im listing.

sell me the female greatsword running animation on a human male character (google the different if you want to see on youtube).

This could be a hit at the gem store, along with much needed deeper character customization.

TL ; DR

  • Sell different animations / stances for each weapon* and different idle stances, basicly let us buy and replace animations for gems .they wouldn’t be too hard to introduce and some of the animations are already ingame like the female greatsword running animation
  • Different Finishing Anims on downed state* Edit: Also how bout more interesting finishing moves that actually change the way your character dose the final finishing blow (the defualt is a weird sorta touchdown anim, i want to see EXECUTIONS Head Dismemberment Body exploding (maybe when you hit f on a downed person as an engineer you can buy a finisher animation that shows you putting an explosive inside the enemies body*
  • Sell different voice replacementns* i want atleast 5 different voices that i can replace my human male character with, yeah i know this doesn’t add much but it can give MUCH NEEDED MORE CUSTOMIZATION
  • Endlesss wood cutting axe
  • More Armor / Weapon skins* ones that when you kill a very hard optional boss, you get a chance to get his unique weapon or instead maybe armor.
  • More “Mature” town clothes
  • Endless Wood cutting axe & Endless basic salvage kit (would have to be very expensive)
  • Cantha weapon pack
  • Guild wars 1 weapon pack

- Reserved

Sooo… what do you guys want see to see in the gem store?

I’ll watch for replies and upgrade the list with other good suggested ideas, i believe if a.net sees some of ideas of what us consumers want to buy, they might read some of these ideas and go “why didn’t i think of this”

More Rewards for skill / less 4 rng

Blissified.8369

Yeah not a good idea. If elitism is so great I’m sure some other game will hand that to you.

I agree they do need a better system of applying a harder level to dungeons rather then requiring everyone to do hard level (as in setting your own level before entering, a sortof heroic choice for everything including paths) that way the hardcore crowd can enjoy dying every minute while playing as they do. However, adding a second set of cosmetics just for the purpose of bragging rights is very 1999. It’s not really a priority when it comes to fun anymore.

I’d suggest they go thru and make the storyline and paths all have easy mode, and heroic mode. That way people can play how they like and still see all of the content.

so you’de rather the rewards only be for people who have fat wallets?

Right now all the cool skins are simply who has a lot of money or whos lucky.
Gw1 had rewards for doing hard hard tasks.

Gw2’s rewards are mianly cosmetic skins which you get from buying gems.
In a way gw2 is going pay 2 win just without stats.

If the main progression and rewards are cool skins then we need to be rewarded for doing hard tasks that not everyone can do, maybe person a can get this rare skin while person b is good at doing a different kind of skilled thing so he can only get a different skin.

I want to see bosses having a chance to drop theiir weapon like in gw1, and i want these bosses to be mainly optional and very hard, they can be optional in dungeons and in the open world, their can be MANY different ways to obtain DIFFERENT skins right now the only way to get new shineys is to play lottery sim.

Free? I think the $150 i spent for the collectors edition was worth a decent amount. I mean, maybe you’re just stacked & throw cash left & right, but that’s a good chunk of change to us losers.

You actually think it’s worth spending huge amounts of time to transfer gold into a small number of Gems, for a gamble mechanic that you are forcing the end-game into because you support it with your purchases?

I don’t want to thank you, I want to blame you.

So if no one bought gems you would still be able to play every month because of your initial $150 purchase or would there be a subscription fee?

You can enjoy playing all you want for $150 without spending another dime. What would happen if everyone did that? You don’t have to buy anythings else. That is your prerogative and you are casting your vote against such items by not buying them. However someone has to buy those gems or else everyone will see what /endgame really means.

you misunderstand, we dont want the end game skins to be in rng boxes, NO ONE IS SAYING WE DONT WANT TO BUY STUFF WITH REAL MONEY!

just that recently the two of the coolests and newest weapen sets IN THE END GAME CONTENT has been obtained by NOT PLAYING THE GAME but by PLAYING the lottery

tl;dr (for real this time

Make endgame content skins obtainable thru playing the game, and then make some other sets that you can get only thru playinng the lottery game.

You dont have to be non casual to play southsun, my casual friends havnt had any problems, same with all 1000 people in the guild.

Just learn to dodge and mitigate damage.

I posted a thread complaining about the karka crates and passed very harsh rng’ed cool looking skins that have cost some people even over 100 dollars to obtain.

But now that i see ANOTHER big content update, i’m starting to realize maybe a.net really will work their buts off with the money they gain.

TL;DR

I still think we need more options, perhaps every time you add in a Gem Store – EQSUE RNG CHEST GAMBLE – teir of weapon / armor skins you could release a different set
that looks different, and is obtainable by doing hard hard content or perhaps tokens for completing certaint tasks / chance to drop from boss and or even selling outright

That way you would have 2 goals, also the ones that are rng from chests will be rarer, this automaticly making them worth more then the little beat easier to obtain teir that involves doing achievements and other such things listed prior

making money isn’t the same as forcing rng chests btw.

I was giving anet 20 bux a month before rng chests (last 2 big updates)

We already have thakittens called southsun and orr, prolbem is you can’t have scripted missions with story cutscenes and different things going on (youtube the wow raid on the lich king (aka arthas) ) not to mention their too easy on top of the fact you cant have anything drastic happen or any scripted events if its totally open world.

If anyone knows the basics of how games are deisgned, and mmos especially you know that having open world raids, where stuff actually happends say the destruction of a citadel or say you shoot a dragon out of the sky then enter inside it while the seraph and lion guard forces hold the outside while the heros enter, but then an unexpected force of double crossing humans comes and a cutscene happends where logan thackery and his forces turn on the heros main forces as it apears he has been corrupted, killing queen jenna while also somehow trapping you and your npc forces inside the fallen dragons mouth now you are trapped and must escape after your mission is complete in time to aid the forces outside that are still battling.

Ok that was horrible, but im trying to give a good example of how instances can have better story driven and scripted sequences, sometimes a few scripted sequence are good, another example;
is the begening of the game if your a human, the land is under attack and theirs sccriped sequences their that wouldnt work in the open world.

Please greatly increase the scaling of open world events,

also i’d like to see some raid style events, say 20-40 person instanced missions so we have some large scale pve content that can be fine tuned, along with scripted sequences, which a lot of open world events lack.

Think of it sort of like a personal story mission but with 20-40 players,

Theirs no reason “raids” shouldn’t be in gw2 and im confused when people say things like “raiding should stay in wow” raiding isn’t a wow thing infact

All raiding really means is large scale dungeons / events
Why would you not want this in the game as an OPTIONAL thing to do?

Rewards would include chances for unique weapon and armor skins that only drop from mobs within said mission, tokens for unique items, limited time magic find / gold find / stat buffs that last for a day or so for the people who completed the raid,

All im saying is anet has said they their focusing more on living story which i think is wrong, i want more skills more builds more weapon skills and gameplay mechanics, not just living story

terribly rushed? the games been out for 9 months, if they release an expansion at the 1 year point that would be fine

i hate how pve basicly = DPS DPS DPS what they need to do is find a good ballence where all trash mobs drop loot and boost trash mobs numbers up so players r taking more dmg, MORE CONSISTANT DMG TO PLAYERS so some players may need more then full zerker and jus dodging / mitigation mechanics.

Who would like to see more emphasis on story and cutscenes as in real time cut scenes like in gw1, i know its possible with the engine because we sort of have them already and gw1 had them, which i hear gw2 is just a heavily modified gw1 engine.

Also please release an expansion soon, i want to see new gameplay elements!

I’m really happy this games a success honestly it is not only a success but gw2 single-handedly changed the mmo market forever with games all going ftp.

if u know anything about programming or even the very very basics of software / game dev, ud know increasing sceptor projectile speed should be as simple as changing some variables…. ie; i could do it for them.
