Guild Wars 2

all i know is we got tequatl to only use bone wall once in our server before the 15 minutes were up, we still got only 10% of his hp removed.

patch is finally live, lets find out

15 gold for account binding an exotic from souldbound. it would be cheeper to buy a new exotic for more than 99% of exotics. make it between 5 and 15 gold. depending on a few factors.

as i heard they are 250 for optimization reasons. there are 256 bits in a byte or something like that. to increase it beyond that 256, they have to increase it to the next level, which increases the performance of storing items up by over 150% since they have to turn 2 bytes into 3 bytes or something like that. for each stack, that could actually cause a frame or 2 performance hindrance on lower end computers, and optimization was poor enough as it was. increasing the stack limits had to wait until they optimized gw2 better.

there are pictures of the skin here. it appears to be an ascended weapon with a black flames version of cobalt. probably representing poison

we have those pictures of a ascneded GS with a black cobalt flame like effect(i have been asking for one of those kinds of skins for months) but i have to ask the system that will be used for the skin. will it be the same as the current ascended drop system, were you get one of random stats and choice weapon, or will it be different. such a skin we cant craft, so our ability to get one we want is forced into extremely low odds on a rare event, or transmutation(still very rare on a rare event). is that the expected system then. since the patch will be released later today, if someone does get the skin, please post how it works.

BY god they listend to me. i asked for that very specific weapon skin 2 months ago

i won my jade sword via the jade ticket a long time ago, and never had a use for it. now it is on the black lions trading post, but i can not sell it. it is not account or soulbould, and should in theory be sellable, but my only options for it are use, preview, and destroy. the TP sell tab does not show the skin either, so its impossible for me to sell it if i wanted to.

this means that either a account bound weapon is not labeled or the old jade weapons claim ticket skins are bugged.

you have to wait.. unlucky you. of the 6 arenas, i have yet to see a time where any more than 3 of the areans had a wait time of over 1 person. waiting is nonexistant for me if i choose. 95% of the players are farming the legendaries in the 6 areas rather than doing the gauntlet.

i always wanted a shadow series of weapons. basically, they would be destroyer/corrupted weapons, but made of black metal and the particles would make it look like shadows rising up from it, which would leave a trail as it swung around.

the key 2 things for performance here are processor and graphics card.
i have a geforce gtx 480 and the i5 3570 and my fps is consistently high, even in wvw and during the heaviest of bossfights

that would make it to easy. achievment chests give out thousands of Badges if you have enough points, and farming the apporpriate gold would be fast. laurals are not hard to get, you just need to not spend them on other things. i definitly would save up 20 of them(10 days and monthiles or just 20 days, all without achievment chests) and spend some of those badges of honor to get an ascended amulet,matter a fact ,i did it before they gave me 1.5k badges of honor. you other easy option is guild commendations, get 12 of them and 5 gold, and you can buy ascended rings. and if you do all 4 commedation awarding guild events, its only 2 weeks.

Not every one have hight achievment.New player,pvp player or wvw player,they are all low achievment. Have hight achievment player,already have so many ascended ring,because they farm fotm.So ascended ring must have a another way to get,that is the first.

The seacond,Gw2 will add ascended armor in the future. Ascended armors and accessories that will make a serious equipment oppression.I think no one want to do that isn’t it?So we need make ascended accessories easy to get.

i should note i have 4k achievment points. i got these but i only have 1 ascended ring, and 2 ascended amulets, cost me 250 wvw earned badges, 80 laurlels, 5 gold and 12 commendations.(karma and MF infusions included for the amulets) and my FOTM level is 6. i joined at the end of february and currently have 3 level 80s. i dont play alot and have farmed for maybe 30 of the 715 hours i have logged in guildwars 2. achievments are not hard to get. i think the current system is fair. ascendeds are meant to be hard to get becasue they are ascended. this is the tier between legendary and exotic, and need to be appropriatly difficult to get. exotics are in general easy to get, and legendaries are near impossible. ascendes need to be very difficult to obtain, and as is, they are fine.

agreed, it is hard to know. it would also be nice if they apply this to invites, as in how long ago was it that we invited this person. we got guild invites that have been sitting around for days unanswered, but some of them could easily be weeks.

the idea is very simple. it works by pressing a new button on the UI. what it then does is swaps all our picked traits(10,20,30), utility, and elite skills, plus maybe our armor. this is strictly out of combat when such things can only be done, but it allows us to quickly switch from 2 completely different sets fast without having to spend 1-2 minutes doing so and risk enemies attacking us on the fly when we are half done. for a bit of balance though, i think it should take a few seconds to do so. similar to the eating rations in southsun survival, you would kneel down and after maybe 5 seconds, get up with the new loadout which you made earlier. you would start off in loadout 1, and by switching to loadout 2, you would basically loose all your utilities, choose able trait skills, and elite skill, and you then choose them for later, this could work for armor as well, but that’s just another possibility. it would allow warriors to rapidly swap from a tank build to a zerker build in seconds rather than a full minute. it would allow elementalists who put their staff on instead of their dagger/scepter/focus combination to not have useless traits and utilities a lot faster.

there might be a few issues with this, but i cant find anything negative about it, since its out of combat and you can do this stuff out of combat normally. it just speeds up the process.

i want this thread to be more about what kind of weapon skins you want to see in the game

I do enjoy the epicness of many of our weapons, but some weapons have very limited options. i think we could use some more epic weapon skins of a different variety than what we have now. personally if i could add a weapon set to the game, i would call it the shadowfiend series or something like that. these weapons(most of the weapon types) would be crafted with onyx lodestones much like destroyer weapons or corrupted weapons, possibly with a base weapon like corrupted. but they had a different style of particles. the blades in particular would be a solid black and its shape would be very similar to the corrupted version but with less bulk on it(the corrupted weapons look like they have way to much mass on them these blades would be black thin streamlined versions of them) and the particles coming off of them would also be black. i would buy these up in a heartbeat as their epicness, especialy on my thief, would be off the charts. perhaps when swinging, some of the shadows could also remain, similar to the fractal weapons trail, but not as long.

so, what ideas do you guys have

i wish they would spend some time adding new weapons and weapon skins to the game. i personaly would find it absolutly epic if there were weapons which had black blades and handels with designes, and particles comming off them that worked like corrupted or destroyer weapons, but black, the shadow series.

that would make it to easy. achievment chests give out thousands of Badges if you have enough points, and farming the apporpriate gold would be fast. laurals are not hard to get, you just need to not spend them on other things. i definitly would save up 20 of them(10 days and monthiles or just 20 days, all without achievment chests) and spend some of those badges of honor to get an ascended amulet,matter a fact ,i did it before they gave me 1.5k badges of honor. you other easy option is guild commendations, get 12 of them and 5 gold, and you can buy ascended rings. and if you do all 4 commedation awarding guild events, its only 2 weeks.

currently you can preview a dye and a armor piece at the same time to see the preivewed armor piece in the previewed dye. its inefficent and a hassle. +1

i think guildwars could use more mini living story elements. harathi hitherlands is such an example. based on players participation, the entire map could be under control of the centaurs or the seraph. what if throughout tyria, there were areas designated as battlegrounds, where on occasion(once every 30 minutes -3 hours) a large scale battle would start up where one side was attempting to take over the area form the previous victor of this battle. this could include siege weapons like arrow carts and treabuches. the players would not always make the difference. if the area is taken over by hostile forces, its like harathi, where we can free kill them until the event spawns and the war starts back up.

the key to this is that it is not 1 wave of 5-6 guys, but more like 3 waves of 10-15 spread out across a larger area attacking and defending simultaneously. this would persist until one sides forces were exhausted.
