I am, and will always be, opposed to this.
I like that classes have some sort of logical and visual “identity” that makes a reasonable amount of sense. I like that light armor looks light, heavy armor looks heavy, ect. I like that thieves aren’t doing insane acrobatics in plate mail while heavily armored warriors run around in cloth bikinis. I know people will always say “Its fantasy, screw realism and logic!” but I enjoy my fantasy to have at least some amount of reason and logic to it.
Yes.

Totally realistic. I guess borderline-bikinis are ok if they’re made of metal.

Right now we can get all our traits for a cost of 3 gold 10 silver. If the new traits, which will all be bought individually, cost a lot as some have speculated (100 g per trait) that would mean a lot of players will not be able to buy any traits.
It’s worth questioning where people are getting this speculation from.
That place would straight out of their kitten .
No dev responses stating they play mesmers in a frequent/constant capacity…
Answer obtained!
Because they totally have the time to respond to some insignificant person demanding to know what classes they play.
Thanks for the thoughts everyone, although decided I might hold off on my thief till more of the blogs are revealed.
Yet again, screwing around “fixing” something that isn’t broken, that we didn’t ask for.
Guild management tools and guild commander tags.
Auto-loot that works.
Permanoobstealth thieves.
Forging multiple items in one pass, instead of repetitive stress injuries.
In-game moderators to start dealing with the hackers.
Game crashes at the massive boss events.I could go on and on, but there is no point. You’re not listening.
I wanted it, actually. As did many others.
Removing restrictions sounds intriguing. If it’s all weapons for all classes that’s cool. If it’s all armors too..who would ever wear light armor? Unless they balance it out by heavy armor = more armor, slightly lower stats. Light = less armor but slightly higher stats. Medium armor = balance between the two. Or it’s just using the appearance of any armor you want
Removing armor restrictions would probably only go so far as the skin.
For example, I COULD dress my Sylvari Mesmer in tier 3 medium cultural armor, but it would retain the stats of light armor.
Basically a more free version of the current transmutation system.
Guild membership becomes account wide instead of character based.
But…..that’s been a thing since launch. Unless I am misunderstanding you.

Question for all you feature guessers.
I was just about to start crafting ascended berserker armor (for my memser). Would you advise to hold off doing this or do you guys think nothing in this feature pack will change either: mesmer’s using berserker as BiS for pve content or change the way ascended crafting is done (I was planning on buying all the armor padding/linings etc)
I’m quite eager to craft it so I’d only hold off if people are sure it would be the best choice..
While it’s likely zerker will remain best in slot, you lose nothing by holding off as far as I can tell. Really though it’s far to early to really make a prediction on that till more is revealed. A lot of those teasers are very vague and thus extreme wild cards at the moment.
Smart money is wait for all the reveals to go through with the crafting. Maybe craft some of it, but don’t complete the process.
Removing Restrictions: all weapons for all classes
Yes! Finally! I’ve always wanted my warrior to use staff and s/f.
I melee version of staff would actually be pretty cool….not sure how s/f would work.
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/traits-unleashed-forty-new-traits-and-more/ ?
“Power Block will be introduced to the Domination line and will change the recharge of an interrupted skill from 5 seconds to 10 seconds.”
is this the return of the gw1 mesmer? :O
I really hope so.
Now if only that included the return of Panic as an elite………………that would be like Satan for WvW zergs.
Only in GW2 will people complain about being given multiple ways to unlock things.
Removing Restrictions: I don’t think something so big as unlocking all weapons for all classes. Possibly something more like letting you transmute the look of any armor to any other type of armor class.
I would adore this.
Perhaps removing restrictions means no more soul binding?
Or as Grevender said, maybe weapons.
So yeah, they kind of do have a reason to be hated and carefully watched.
Carefully watched? Yes. Hated? No. Scarlet was the cause of all this suffering and pain (and a council that mass effect’s would be proud of). One person should not be a representative of all people in that race/group/ethnicity. I’d also like to point out Zojja fought influence from a dragon champion and succeeded. If anything I’d be wary about the nightmare court and trying to warn Marrik’s people of the coming threat.
It was not a fight against just one sylvari. There were numerous sylvari butchering innocent women and children. The Pale Tree did nothing to stop this, she is complicit.
So I guess we should torch all humans also then.
And Norn.
And Asura.
And Charr.
As characters we did not see Mordremoth awaken. We do not know where it is. Signs point to a jungle area but nothing says it in ‘our backyard’. If the dragon does nothing, why would we do anything? If it has a cataclysmic awakening, then why would it be any different to Jormag or Kralkatorrik. I believe we would go after Modremoth, but not straight away and definitely not in Season 2
Why not in Season 2? It’s true that other dragons in the world are currently awake and do not pose an immediate threat.
But what if Mordremoth poses a huge threat because of the large number of Sylvari in the world? He would need to be taken care of, lest Sylvari players drop dead.
In addition to this, IF Morde is connected to the nightmare, that makes him a far more immediate threat as the heart of the nightmare court is located fairly close to the grove.
And if he is connected to the nightmare court, he is the first dragon shown with the ability to corrupted Sylvari. That does not bode well, especially if Sylvari are Tyria’s response to the dragon threat as some think (myself included)

Finally got my mesmer’s look finished. Decided those soon to be released crimson eyes would be overkill.
Edit: Steam screen shot,finding those come out much better http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/3314953957584808487/89B93D4097079DFDAF0FD80A58208E7FD7D1CA71/

Wastrels Demise was the single biggest, massive, giant, huge f up in the entire gw1. Why would you bring that to gw2?
Arguments like this are why I fear we will never have GW1 Mesmer.

Uhh, Kiel was at the red knight, along with heal o tron. and evon shut down the gates on escaping people, he kind of deserved it. She also warned her fellow captains, which you can meet them all in the camps.
And on the Hologram.
But we ended up doing all the work for her AGAIN. As expected from a person who can’t handle the responsibilities of her elected position.
She makes one godly reviver.
Saved my kitten a few times when I got caught by those burned spots.

I’ll be honest, I often check the forums so I can inform as many people in map chat as I can.
I typically let posts like these slide, but in this case I need to write something.
I’m sure that when RL tyrants, mass murders, violent anarchists, and vicious sadists are finally given their ‘just reward’, many of the victims of these individuals celebrate the tormentors demise in ways that are far less sedate than a (very) few jokes told in a bar.
don’t believe me? Do a quick history search.In fact, it would have been out of place if the ‘scooby squad’ didn’t blow off some steam with a few comments concerning Scarlet’s demise.
I for one do not pity the character of Scarlet. She knew that her plans would involve the deaths of many, many Tyrians. It does not matter that she may have been driven to it. In the end she sought out death, and that is what she got.
See you in Torment, Scarlet.
This about sums up my thoughts.
Oh and one more thing, for zergs, I assume one can’t just go melee in that case?
Jump right in with the melee train. Report back your findings
A level 8 would hardly be a good test ;P
Oh and one more thing, for zergs, I assume one can’t just go melee in that case?
Yes. However it’s up to you how many zerker pieces you want to use, generally full zerker set isn’t so good.
Makes sense, thank you.
So yeah, simple question. Just started my thief and wanted to know if zerker is viable in WvW or not.
Kindof dangerous to have nothing for 10days

Really? You think? With 20 million or so fans of their games? Why wouldn’t they subscribe?
Considering the ES games would be nothing without the mod support………………
Don’t miss it at all.
To be fair, doesn’t WoW still have a few bugs from release?
Not saying it’s right, just that it’s not uncommon.
Can you name 1 significant bug that exists in WoW from release that has such a large impact on gameplay?
I think you missed the question portion of that, don’t get so defensive.
Ugh, just no.
I don’t want to be bombarded with marriage requests every time I log in because people get turned on by simulated breasts or are too stupid to realise that in-game characters are completely separate in terms of gender, orientation and age to the people playing them.
This isn’t match.com.
This implies a lack of marriage system prevents people from giving you unwanted attention anyways.
I couldn’t count the amount of times I’ve received whispers from people saying they’d “stick it in my kitten ” if they could, and other …….charming……….messages.
Really unfortunate, I hope Chinese players can get their hands on the NA version and the ping is reasonable.
I think they can, just not legally. Someone correct me if I am wrong on this please.
I think the way the game is being implemented in Chine has something to do with their laws regarding online gaming… not really sure though
Combination of laws and the publisher wanting as much money as possible, yes.
So I guess no one understands that once a game gets published in China, the company no longer has control of the Chinese version by law?
China greatly dislikes foreign business.
It doesn’t have to be completely garbage like this just because it’s in China. Maybe anet/ncsoft should have had someone else handle it to keep the integrity of their game.
Not every mmo has to be like this in china.
But they often are, this type of thing is pretty common in Chinese versions of MMOs.
Trust me, I’m not saying what is being done with the Chinese version is right, but it’s not really in Anet’s hands.

The reason Anet is deleting threads like this is because they quite honestly waste forum space. You may as well be telling Anet to yell at a mountain and demand it move to the side for them.

Little treat for you guys we snuck in today
11. Fixed in feature build
Anyways tomorrow is my last day at ANet so you won’t be seeing this face on the forums any longer. Hopefully this forum visibility helped ease you guys over. Sorry for all the issues we never got around to I did my best to get as many bugs cleared in the last few months as possible.
~see you in game!
When I’m coming to the end of the development of a large project, one of the things I do is have the team pour over all the open bugs and make a final list of things that really need to get fixed before we disband the team and push it into really low maintenance mode.
Sorry to see you go Powerr.
But seriously, fixing a trait that’s been broken since BETA is not a little treat – it’s what should have been done over a year ago.
And significant bugs that last for 1.5 years is not the earmark of a AAA MMO.
To be fair, doesn’t WoW still have a few bugs from release?
Not saying it’s right, just that it’s not uncommon.
You guys are so optimistic.
The word is realistic, as there is some evidence of it being fixed in the next patch (even if it is just a “yes”), not just hopeful speculation.
i am confused. marjorly had an axe and dagger released and braham had an entire armor set released.
Well, actually, Marjory and Kasmer both got full armor releases.
The Trickster Light(F) is the armor Marjory wears. Phoenix (F) is Kasmeer’s outfit, albeit slightly tweaked I think. Both of which I am shocked at not seeing more often on non-Sylvari humanoids.

I hope this stupid adventure box never returns. And if it does, for those who like it, enjoy.
lol. SAB may be one of the most successful pieces of content gw2 has ever released. The funny thing it is also completely random, so random that it almost doesn’t belong in game, because of how much it diverges from the lore. But the game design and philosophy behind so much of it is what makes it a huge success. Of course they will bring it back, for the 3rd and 4th world, and then perhaps permanently keep it there.
Whatever you say.
Moon is right, no matter how much you wish to deny it. It has still been the most positively received update yet. You are the minority.
Great, more sci-fi themes. /sarcasm
Fun fact: We’re still in the realm of fantasy. All technology in GW2 is fueled by magic, plain and simple. The exception being the rather crude charr technology, it is leaps and bounds inferior to that of magitech (Asuran tech).
If anything, the blending of magic and technology in GW2 makes far more sense. You’d have to be a complete idiot to not blend those two if they exist in the same world.
Also, the Human race is an alien species to Tyria, as are their gods and this has been known since GW1. Think about that.
The problem here is it does not match your small little box of what qualifies as fantasy.
(edited by Celestina.2894)
Hopefully NOT. All that damage and destruction in the LS done for nothing? Leave it as a wasteland or make it a starting zone for a new race. Rebuilding it would show that this whole Ls was for nothing.
No, rebuilding it as exactly the same LA would. But a completely new LA? That’s the Living Story’s ideal.
lol. French kiss? Cheap porn? Sex?
Apparently we aren’t actually talking about Guild Wars 2, much less Kasmeer or Marjory.
Glad I’m not the only one that saw that……
What if we didn’t kill Scarlet and we just think we did based on a triple layered inception?What if in three years, after we’ve killed all eternal dragons, that this entire game is in Scarlets dream and we realize that the world of Tyria is actually in control by Abaddon (who was only dead in her dream and not in real virtual life) and the dwarves are in fact alive and are in fact the supreme nude race?
sold
Was that an satisfying ending? **SPOILERS**

Tbh, I imagine Braham was possibly thinking “K, this kitten has escaped how many times no from defeat? Yeah not this time!” and thus expected more tricks……….which she had, as we saw.
Honestly…….I think Sylvari would still keep calling me back.
I will only support this if they also allow marriage between same gender. Just no human/animal/cabbage/alien stuff.
Fun fact: The humans are actually the aliens.
Remade Acacia Celestina as a human mesmer…….then Sylvari mesmer called me back, so here is the new and (final) Acacia Celestina. Need to get her to 11 so I can equip the gloves and shoulders………………………..and yes, I did buy tier 3 sylvari and equp it on a level 2.
Trying to find a brighter red though.

Decide to remake my mesmer……I just can’t stick with human characters. Norn and Sylvari always call me back
Trying to find a brighter red to match the glow, but no luck so far. Sadly can’t complete my look till level 4 and 11 for the gloves and shoulders, and when those glowing eyes that were data mined are released. (………yes I bought tier 3 and equipped it on a level 2 >_>)
…….As usual I tend not to use colors for classes one might expect >_>
Screen shots don’t look quite as good as they do ingame, still not quite sure why but eh.

I recall it being said LS replaces the PS from now on.
You can relish that feeling of stabbing her repeatedly with your flag.
Giggity
Erm….pretty sure conditions count as Damage Per Second.
I assume you meant to say squishy power builds?
Well if we’re showing of characters.
The trickster outfit is rather good at “filling out” human female bodies.
