Guild Wars 2

Arcan Soulstorm.4356:

It might be connected with the guards.
As long as they live, the dolyak can be revived. Dollys from camps that haven’t been upgraded don’t have a “downed”-state.

Really? I should test this sometime. I didn’t think that the guards could revive it; I figured they just went back to the camp/despawned (not that it matters since people usually kill the guards too if they’re killin’ the poor animal).

i doubt anything will happen besides gimmicks.

but yes i fully agree that PPK should be a permanent feature in wvw.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought if your server had Bloodlust, you got PPK?

I want to have access to our home instance through a building in the GH. Kind of a home-away-from-home instance.

We already have that function…

That isn’t the same thing at all. That’s a gem store item that allows you to access the home instance from anywhere in game, which is not what I suggested.

From a business standpoint, adding the ability to warp home from a Guild Hall doesn’t make sense.

Yea, your size has to be large enough to account for the percentage that won’t provide feedback for whatever reason. They just want early access or they want to profit off of future changes or whatever.

There would be players that want to just to test the content and make sure it works. I’ve been a part of Betas and Test Servers where there are 1 good tester and 50 worthless ones.

The last one I was apart of eventually just cut the number down to 20 people and while we got to “access the new content” early, most of us basically were given actual duties to test. It was as if we were true volunteer QAs. It was the best test server I was ever apart of. Sad that they had to shut it down, but alas, more people testing never means better testing.

I highly doubt there will be very many waypoints available when the area is just now being explored. Unless there were Asura that threw them up around the crash sites before they died a horrific death from the turned Sylvari.

I’d rather have people that will be effective in testing if they do allow players to beta test than just open it to everybody.

People who just want to play the content early and don’t want to test for bugs or anything aren’t really contributing at all.

medusashadow.3567:

kneeling over top of a blackgate ons roamer is always acceptable.

Looks more like the downed guy is getting lucky.

Are we allowed to bump these threads? If not, I apologize and will refrain from doing so in the future.

To be fair, T1 has been trying to push one of their servers down to T2. We want new blood.

Sylvari rooter

• static
• 300 supplies
• unblockable
• can root up to 50 players for 10 seconds (its only condition)
• 10 sec cooldown with full masteries
• can be built only on walls
• when destroyed, wall under will fall too and troll sound will appear through all WvW maps

I agree with this with one exception. The driver has a special button/key to honk the horn.

PCG: With most of the expansion it’s easy to see how it’s an extension of the game. With the new WvW borderland map you’ve announced, that sounds more integrated into an existing thing. How does that affect World vs. World overall?

Answer on this page

I left the actual answer part on their page to make sure they still get their traffic view, but regardless… discuss?

I loved the sneak event… I have no problem sentrying, but with the white swords being shown, it makes it kind of pointless.

ZeftheWicked.3076:

Other then that the trailer was awesome and certainly got many people hyped up to the max myself included.

If the trailer was awesome, don’t say it fails in the title.

Are you willing to join Tarnished Coast? If so, there’s a few that do hard-core WvW guilds here. I can’t think of them off the top of my head right this moment though (in a dungeon atm).

Check out Legend Voyager Crew [LVC] if you’re looking for a small guild that is still finding it’s way. We’re not sure what path we want the guild’s primary focus to be yet, but we’re trying to recruit some active members. Check us out!

Hello! Our newly formed guild is recruiting!

We’re a very small group looking to expand and make new friends! We’re more geared towards new players, but we’ll accept veterans as well.

Anyways, we’re a group looking to make friends and just have fun playing the game in all its aspects, whether it’s Story Missions, Dungeons, Fractals, World vs. World, Player vs. Player, and even at times, get together for Guild Missions, Puzzles, Bounty Hunting, and more!

If this sounds like a guild up your alley, send me a message! (Bristingr.5034)

Not sure how to fix the title, but I accidently added the [TC] due to WvW purposes, but we’ll accept anybody from ANY server!

Silalus.8760:

• No increased level cap

They said beyond Level 80, so there is an increased level cap.

Bristingr.5034:

And Nexon bought out NCSoft…

14.7%.

Yeah, I went back and read up on the info after I posted that. They’re still the largest holder of shares of NCSoft, so Nexon has the loudest/most influential voice.

I’ll bite with the biggest one of them all.

Slyvari players can now attack any other race, and all other races can attack Sylvari players. Anywhere, anytime.

Agrotera.1254:

Sorry but no way is Nexon worse than NCSoft. They pay little to no attention to what their players want and they haven’t even got a website that works the way that it is supposed to. Every time they get a CM (community manager) that tries to interact with the players and listens to what they say said CM ends up getting fired. No way would I want them taking over here.

Doesn’t NCSoft actually OWN ArenaNet?

And Nexon bought out NCSoft…

Sorel.4870:

GW2 becomes subscription-based!

It will NEVER happen, especially after Elder Scrolls Online dropped theirs.

Astralporing.1957:

EA is taking over

niea.7504:

….whatever it is.. it cant be THAT evil…

And now you’ve just jinxed it.

It could be worse, Nexon could be taking over :/

Fixed

pdavis.8031:

The worse thing that can be announced?

A paid expansion pack.

Actually, a large majority of players are expecting it to be a paid expansion pack. I’m betting around $30.

Will the Double XP be applied to WXP?

Actually TC seemed to have a nice way of making sentrying slightly better.

The sentries are basically defensive commanders, who would lead anybody within the vicinity if they were attacked. They would be identified as the red tag and would lead the defense until the enemy was defeated (or until the main zerg arrived, in which is a massive kill fest anyways).

I did a LOT of sentrying during the event (it was when I first joined WvW really) and I enjoyed it. Now that the white swords are there, I’ve kinda just gone “eh” about it because it’s like the mechanic defeated the purpose of sentrying.

I loved the white swords being absent. Now with them back, I kinda lost the urge to do WvW…

How it’s happening for the Bay. The Dolyak won’t spawn for the Northwest camp for the Bay Keep.

I am not sure how to “block” an enemy player in WvW so I can whisper to them. Right clicking on them does nothing for me.

style.6173:

Wow. Not sure where you play, but it is completely opposite in T1.

1. It is a karma train here. There is no point in defending.
2. Less open field fighting
3. Havoc teams are LESS effective. If we can convince someone to sit in a tower, they can easily see when a havoc team attacks now. It is MUCH better to stay in the blob and just knock down any defenses.

Really? I’m in T1, and TC people are generally for not having white swords (or so I’ve felt from the vibe).

But I like having no white swords…

The icon for the Black Lion Trader (Armorsmith) in Hoelbrak is missing on both the regular and mini-map.

I can confirm this for Tarnished Coast as well. There is no Dolyak running from Stargrove Mills Camp to the Hills Keep on ANY Borderland Map.

Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to have play GW2 in Chinese, while in North America? My girlfriend is Chinese, and wants to play the game. She speaks decent (good, in fact) English, but I was hoping that the option of having the natural language for her be available if there is a way?

I’m guessing that picking up the Chinese copy won’t list any NA servers, so I was wondering if there was such a way to have the Chinese language option on an NA/EU copy?

Thanks!

I voted, but GW2 is still 2% behind. Get out there and vote people!

Thank you for the answer. I must of missed that part in the news post.

I have a question about the Story Journal. According to the news post, it says that I’ll have to pay 200 gems to “purchase” an episode that was in the past (should I of missed it). Will this be for all of Season 1 if I only recently joined the game?

The gold->gem ratio is way too high for a new player like me, and I was disappointed that I didn’t get to experience the 1st season of the Living Story… until I saw the Story Journal, but my question still remains.

If a person never participated in the Living Story of Season 1, will they be required to pay gems to unlock the episodes? (If the answer is yes, that’ll be disappointing to hear)

Danikat.8537:

If you know of a game that has a 100% success rate at preventing gold sellers please do say what it is. I’m sure Anet (and most other MMO companies) would love to find out how they do it.

Actually, until recently, a game called Mabinogi that’s hosted by Nexon was bot-free for about a year and a half.

While wearing the Mending Circlet for a Human Elementalist, there is a small clipping issue on the right side of the character with the hair.

I didn’t mean to make this a Q&A post… sorry, I’m new to these forums.
