Guild Wars 2

unlockable, thats the word most of you were searching

20ish skillpoints + gold for another stat on single part of ascended equipment coupled with highly functional templates mechanic would be mayor driver for build diversity

400+gold armor need some kind of horizontal progression and unlockable stats are the answer

you can even throw in swapable runes and sigils but in a way that in consumes sigil/rune and you cant get it out, only change it on fly

it would give players ability to upgrade their expensive armor and it would be effective gold/skillpoints sink

magnets, how do they work?!?!

anyway, i forgive magnet everything just for those few rare moments in pvp when it bugs out and sends opponent in air and slams him down to 20% hp

embrace the trenchcoat

Bear yet again provides gold. Now win some tournies.

Can’t wait to watch this.

new meta for wuw, everyones playing condi mesmer and farms greatswords and cloth

great patch 10/10

Pause feature: Implementing this in an MMO makes my head hurt just thinking about it. I honestly see no way to do this without a significant rework to most systems in our game unless we implement a pseudo-pause.

What do you exactly mean with pseudo-pause?

A pause that just feels like one but isnt quite a pause. So not the game pauses instead every player cant do anything anymore, but the game still goes on (environment and so on), you just cant move anymore and cant activate skills. But it will be hard for them to do this with the AI (all thus petting zoos) and such things.
At least this is what I could imagine he meant.

This. We could make the score stop ticking and players not move, but imagine what would have to freeze in order to have a fair resume: Exact player locations, even if you’re jumping over a gap. Persistent AOE effects. In-flight missiles. Every boon and condition. Capture point progress. Skill recharge. Its a nightmare. Just freezing score and position is not good enough in a lot of cases.

Could it be made it detects disconnect and automatically resets players (so shoutcasters don’t get called for favoritism) and send them to their base since returning player will be joining game from same spot? I can see this being abused by dc’ing when things go sour so maybe keep it to once per team per game? dc twice and gg

Evan Lesh.3295:

AFK Check: This comes up a lot, and we’ve discussed it plenty. Rest assured we understand this problem and have discussed ways to solve it.

Her’s few suggestions;

SoloQ shouldn’t start before everyone presses “I’m ready” button and as for “pause feature” it should be implemented in custom arena since it would be useful feature to have in streamed tournaments. Its really sad to see Blu asking players to stop fighting :/ Score should freeze and players could be locked down on same position with disabled skills.

One more thing, how about if someone dc’s or leave (team 1) in soloQ put 1 random player on opposing team (team 2) on bench (spectator mode) automatically. When player from same team (team 2) dies put him on bench and allow player on bench back in game. Rotate players until player from team 1 gets back in game or match ends. This would pretty much please whole community and with working “I’m ready” button fix 4v5 problem you’re/we’re having.
Why would it please community? Matches would start in 4v5 fashion less often and if 4v5 happens outmaned team would still have fighting chance.

Also allow standard models in soloQ. There will be no initiative to play soloQ after feature patch and everyone will solo queue team queue. There’s no fun in fighting asuras on skyhammer. No fun.

power based greatsword and sword offhand, condi based torch main/offhand, dd death blossom rework to power based attack, p/p rework to not crap
and for new weapon type, claws ala diablo 2 assassin with rework of traps to again diablo 2 assassin traps
and venoms rework to effects last for certain amount of secs not 2,3 attacks like now

one can dream right?

still dreaming? might throw in light profane looking female armor or at least g_imp outfit

break stun, 1 sec evasion, 30 sec cd

would be decent

greatsword with spear skills :O

also torch mainhand/offhand

pretty please

competitive shouldn’t be used in a game that has immobilize bug killing players for almost 2 years, 2 kittening years….. wars were started and finished it that time frame…

playing is fun if you can swallow a lot of crap this game can offer but watching tournies? whats fun about watching bunch of midgets fighting on points? if i wanted to watch that i would watch midget porn, at least there would be actually kittening in it and not “shoutcasters” (imagine biggest " microsoft word can produce) kittening it up

ah, i’m soon done with new back and theres no need for unlimited tools now, guess ill be spending 20ish eu on bucket of whey.. i’m out of it anyway..

jk, i get “must buy now” but not releasing those now that grind is rampant smells like loosing money
and i’m really thinking anet doesnt want my money :/

also sab

now that we have back item what requires massive amount of logging would be nice if those tools came back

and while your at it, why not make it permanent in gem store (whats was the point of them not being permanent anyway??) with links it hero tab like you did with transmutation charges

make sab permanent, put 1h time limit on sab with gem store infinite coin unlocking infinite use of sab

everyones happy

I would like to know how many minutes per queue or hours now in total of my life i have wasted on matches that started in 4v5 fashion.

Just 4v5 matches, i dont care about 5v5.

people like doing this stuff, help us by making it easier and more accessible

i’m pvp player but i want to spend money on gems to do this with my pve guild again

more dances, more animations, more emotes, auto choreography all in gem store

this was so fun to do in gw1, please bring it back

take my money anet please

remove fire & air sigils from pvp, thank me later

introduce more dmg modifying sigils with short internal cd or dmg modifying sigils when certain conditions are meet

right now fire&air are only viable sigils for pure burst and they are carring a lot of builds

also they are pure bs random procs that involve no skill and are encouraging builds like beforemention sd teef

I got myself 2 skins, sword and dagger applied those skins on my currently equipped zojja sword and dagger and now i see one +5 power +1 damage to guards infusions has been removed from both.

Anyone else experiences same problem?

Is this normal for every applied skin to remove infusion?

I can only post currant pictures of sword and dagger since i don’t have pictures before i applied said skins.

If you think gw2 is antisocial try eso, you will love it.

Anyway it’s pretty much most social game since hello kitty online: theme park adventures with frands.

+1 for you. I would also like cosmetic option for hairy feet aka hobit feet. With some mud on them option so I can run around in stealth leaving muddy feet trail behind me. Thanks.

Currant state of GvG scene is sad. Its player organised in arena that is just not fit for battle and its easily trolled by well almost everyone. Worst part about it; it has really huge amount players involved in its organisation and in participating GvG matches. It has its own site, hundreds of youtube/twich videos are being made about it and they even got commentators.

Here are few suggestions to make it one of the GW2 dominant game modes besides sPvP and WvW.

GvG deserves its own tab, near sPvP and WvW. In this tab your guild would be able to challenge other guilds to GvG or set your guild for other to challenge. Doing this you would earn ranks for your guild. Top 40 guild would later on participate in league for Guild champion. Those champions would get their statues in L.A. for 1 (one) month after win.

GvG should function by sPvP rules meaning no gear grind and everything unlocked from beginning.

Guild upgrade system needs upgrade for guilds participating in GvG that also involves aforementioned guild ranks. Why? There should be really hard, months hard with hard work achievable guild upgrade that allowed other players to bet money on your guild matches. Why months hard? To prevent cheating/match selling. How it would prevent that? It would make players think twice before trying to cheat/sell matches because of work that has to be made for that upgrade.

League matches should be organised on weekends. Every weekend 2 matches. With exclusive right to certain really good commentators to edit and post videos on their channels. Players, not participating in GvG should be able to hear commentators but also be able to mute them.

GvG could be GW2 version of super bawl or champions league.

For battle arenas, there should be few choices. Currant empty arena or arena thats more in line with lets say pvp map Legacy of the Foefire where you should have few objectives and few crucial points to hold.

Now, most important question, why would average joe of GW2 who doesnt care/knows about GvG care about GvG?

Well, thats where guild upgrade that allows betting on guild come in play. Players in GW2 care about income/h. If betting on GvG matches seems profitable to them, they will do it. Players participating in GvG matches would have to be on same server so securing victory in league would bring glory and hate to that server because of before mentioned statues in L.A. which should be on all servers in everyones face.

While I’m on subject of betting, besides bets on next match, players should be also be able to bet on winner of league.

Also, every time there are 4 different winners of league, there should be ultimate showdown.

Why would currant GvG’ers care about ranked GvG matches? Well they already do and they are crying for something organized that would on top of everything raward them property and bring glory to their guild.

I dont know about you, but i would really like to log in on Saturday 9 pm (21:00) and enjoy watching and betting on some good GvG matches. With commentaries and camera switching to interesting parts. While eating popcorns.

(English is not my main language.)

Mikau.6920:

• VIII – Glacial Heart: Reduced to CD to 15 sec (or even 10 sec) and increase the damage of Hammer by 5%.

Glacial Heart should be: “Instead of burning passive Virtue of Justice applies 1 sec of chill and active applies 3 sec of chill”

there should be also master trait on zeal or radiance that should be: “Applying burning also applies cripple”

For aggressive gameplay i would like to see zeal master trait that reduces cd on weapon swapping for 3 sec and Supreme Justice should grant you much better burns that it does now.

You know whats worst then getting dc on end of tequatl? Getting dc on end of tequatl you commandeered and waited hour before to start.

Fix this crap, its horribad and its been going on for 4 months now.
Whats even worst, my pc is pretty kitten sweet and i’m playing tequatl on best performance and still getting dc’s quite often AND its only place i’m getting dc’s.

0 dc’s on jormag, 0 dc’s on kitten (hur dur but it is), 0 dc’s on rest world bosses, 0 dc’s in dg’s, 0 dc’s in wvw, 0 dc’s in pvp, stop kitten counting dc’s on tequatl.

Question: Do I have to pray to five gods and kormir before tequatl for not getting dc?

And yes, I reported it every time I get that beautiful you dc’d better luck next time chump window.

Chris Whiteside.6102:

Hi All,

Here is the next evolution of the original Vertical Progression proposal based on a summary of our discussions:

Regarding Ascended Gear we would like to see more ways to earn it and in terms of drop rates, a higher percentage chance of acquiring them through this method.

A review of current RNG metrics.

The ability to change gear stats (Note there is still a lot of discussion about whether people want this or not)

The ability to build up to Ascended Gear through drops rather than just relying on RNG.

Ascended Gear mats dropping more equally across the game, for example WvW.

No more new Gear tiers that make the existing tiers obsolete.

Additional ways to earn Ascended Gear at accelerated for Alts.

Note this is the formulation of a proposal for discussion. Once the proposal is finalized it will be discussed internally. However there will be no promise of actions or schedule.

Chris

This is my main gripe with ascended gear. Its OK the highest tier of armor would take me a long time to work for. But it upsets me what making it I will lock myself to one build/playstyle.
If i could change stats on ascended gear, ascended gear would be best thing that happened to gear progression in a long time. More build experimenting, less confusion when changing gear to mach up builds and less clutter in inventory.

I would literally make one for every alt.

DevonCarver.5370:

Agreed.
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/world-xp-and-you/

God bless Your soul!

I have one question regarding ranks. With alt ranks joining, will we get account bound restart of used skill points so we can figure out what we want to do with specific class in wvw?

Pretty please?!

I would like to see more trait synergy with weapons and not the currant model of +5% damage or 20% lower cd.
Example, trait what would cause you to instead of knocking back with shield 5 to pull enemy(s?) to you, Scorpion GET OVER HERE style and/or another trait that would cause shield 5 throw Capt. America style shield knocking back enemy(s?).

I put (s?) for plural because i don’t know if doing that to multiple enemies would be op.
