Guild Wars 2

I’m honestly getting tired of people comparing GW1 armor choices to GW2 armor choices.

GW1 has had, what, 7 years and 3 expansions to add to it’s armor selection?

GW2 has had……a whopping 2 months.

To me, the GW1 original choices were just as bad (if not a bit worse) as GW2 choices are now. Give it time people.

Just a thought, but right now I don’t think anyone really knows the sea dragon exists. With Zhaitan gone, perhaps it simply sent a champion or wave of minions to scout out the potential new territory and to get an idea of what sort of force could kill another elder dragon? This way we’ll learn of it’s existence, but it sets the stage to fight the sea dragon much later.

Dont races already have race specific animations for certain weapons? Im pretty sure my two asura handle their weapons differently than any other races of the same classes.

charr and asuras have different animations. Humans, norn and sylvari share the same ones however.

Then the problem would be you will see every Mesmer running around with all 3 phantasms always spawned around them, it would be make it unfair, for say, the same Thief, to engage because you will have all the clones up already. They could make it so we could only spawn them when in combat, but I don’t see that happening either – because right now you can spawn them out of combat as long as the target gets into range, which is the way I prefer.

In conclusion, I think it’s fine right now as it is.

So its ok for a Necro to run around with 10 pets up, but not a Mesmer with 3 clones or Phantasms?

Also, you can’t spawn them if you cannot target the target but, you can die to it…..makes no sense.

On the subject of minions, I think it’s worth noting most necros will tell you minions are absolutely horrid and more trouble then they are worth.

Thanks for all the info so far everyone.

If you happen to be a female sylvari, the tier 2 cultural light armor is absolutely gorgeous.

Sadly story presentation has never been Anet’s strong suit. Actual plot and lore itself? Good and interesting, but the presentation is where it falls apart for them.

They’re better then they were in GW1 mind you. Case in point………..Danika….I am so sorry for this…but skip to 3:52

hmm….I could see the tribal set being one.

They have confirmed we will eventually get new races, but have said that at the moment, they are happy with the current classes and are likely to expand on them for now.

As Zazares said, it was part of Abaddon’s master plan but is in fact far older then him.

Judging by the fact that Zhaitan had planned to use one if I recall correctly, it’s safe to assume it is at least as old as last awakening.

If the lost shore isn’t leading up to the deep sea dragon, I can not imagine what it is leading up to.

I’d like to point out they originally said names would be unlocked after the head start.

So you’ve had plenty of time, months even.

Actually, certain orr stat combos are highly desirable. They just depend on your build and class.

So yeah, I’ve been wanting to make a mesmer……but I keep hearing they’re horrid in PVE and yet everyone’s complaints seem to focus solely on DE orr farming. So would that weakness only bother me if I cared about Orr farming (I don’t, at all) or should I know anything ahead of time about PVE in general for mesmers?

Personally, I’d like if they could be obtained with karma.

I think maybe 200k per piece would be fair considering the current ease of getting karma. This way they are still a long term goal, but also a fair amount of time in my opinion.

There’s no way that can just be removing halloween.

Or maybe I’m just hoping to much >_>

I thought Reaper’s Rumble and Lunatic Inquisition were fun, but what was the point?

Have we seriously gotten to the point where fun is not good enough?

Seriously?

Just………..god kitten it.

Time and money sinks.

Only if you and/or your group is bad. You can make quite a healthy profit off of dungeons. Also really, the very nature of games period is to be a time sink

PUGs are often very bad.

Which is why you offer advice and guidance, you also had better listen to people who know what they are doing in a pug

Loot is horrible.

Average actually, however it has been stated they plan to buff this

Token system for gear no better than crafted.

Incorrect, many dungeons sets have stats that are both desired and unobtainable through crafting

Fights are 2 types: mobbed or hugh HP pools. Boring.

This I can partially agree with, there are interesting fights however

As others have said, it’s because of your skin color. Also, TA light armor has a glow on sylvari but I do not know if this is present for other races in the same armor.

It is present on cultural armor as well, it’s a blessing and a curse at the same time really.

shoshu.7416:

ok so why dont you try running the dungeons with less than 3 heavy classes

I’ve ran all 3 paths of TA with all scholars classes, all 3 paths of AC with all scholar classes and so far 1 path of HotW with all scholar classes. Honestly, the 3 TA runs were the easiest TA runs I had ever done and the AC and HotW runs were about the same as if we had heavy armor characters.

Oh, and these were all PUG groups.

Only replying to this part, as it is honestly painful attempting to read the rest of that post.

It’s the very nature of concept art for the final product to look different in various ways.

AbsintheMinded.4609:

Or just buff our current weapons for ranged? Rifle is just silly. I really loved my paragon, but I still had mixed feelings about spear. While being able to build adrenaline at range was awesome, it’s still just throwing an unlimited amount of boring spears that appear out of nowhere. Staff and scepter’s auto attacks should just be changed/buffed. Not that staff isn’t cool for hitting multiple targets, I just don’t want a mid-range attack on what should be the penultimate caster weapon. Mace or scepter makes more sense for mid-range caster.

I admit I would be perfectly happy if they changed the animations for scepter. Make the auto attack and smite actually LOOK powerful. Right now they look like we’re tickling our targets.

Considering monthlies now give 10 karma jugs, each worth 4,500 karma…….I think it’s fair.

So, this has been brought up multiple times in the human sub forum, but race sub forums do not really seem to get a lot of attention. As such, I am posting this here in hopes that a dev sees this.

Currently, human females will make a very high pitch and horrendously out of place squeek when using the great sword. I have heard this is a problem on other weapons also, but I am unable to confirm that.

So please, remove the squeek. It is extremely irritating and makes it really hard for me and others enjoy playing human female chracters.

Honestly I’d be perfectly fine if someone released a mod or something to remove that squeek……….but it seems no one has.

Made a thread in the audio forum, maybe it will get noticed there.

I give all my to the candy day charr cub.

He’s just so adorable and cuddly.

skjidi.5240:

The Candy Corn’s are also used in the monthly achievement, they wont dissapear.
Stack them.

I’m pretty sure candy corns were only used in this monthly because of the event, I find it highly unlikely they will be used again till next year.

You’ll keep the recipes for runes, weapons, food etc. However you will not able to get the Halloween added ingredient without using the TP.

ToT bags will also go away, but you will keep any you have already obtained.

I don’t know why, but everytime I read “attend the party” I am thinking about the mad hatter and hope to see him

But seriously, I don’t know what to expect. I think the Mad King will show up again after the end as a cliffhanger for next years halloween.

Mad King didn’t die in the dungeon did he?

I don’t think we can truly kill the mad king. As far as I know he is a powerful spirit. So I imagine he reforms himself like the ghosts of Ascalon.

For the ghosts as a whole? Yes

But for Adelbern? Dear god no, I hated everything about him in GW1 and I am glad he is suffering. I just wish he did not take Ascalon along with him.

To me a firearm would feel extremely out of place on a guardian.

A longbow or maybe a spear like the GW1 Paragon though? Sure

Sadly, I think the flaming dragon sword is still the best light source.

So glad they made karma easier to get. Here is the hammer

I suggest both.

Get yourself a set of AC/hotw armor. Those two dungeons have armor sets with power, vitality, and toughness. A good rune set is full soldier’s.

I’d give my kingdom for the GW1 ray of judgement

It is honestly the only reason I have not made a human yet. I just wish they would have fixed it by now, I simply can not believe it would intentional and I do not think it would be a difficult fix.

I very much doubt they would rise in price, as I said, this game is all about skins, the normal random exotic armor is currently 40s-1g normally, there are exceptions but I personally cant see the mad king set being a copy skin going very high

This is not true. Named exotic armor pieces (Aidan, Nika, Zhed, Devona, etc…) are all copy skins which go for notably higher prices than regular level 80 exotics.

Don’t those also have different stat combos though?

People complain that halloween exotics are to hard to get

Anet puts them into a chest allowing everyone a fair but still very low chance

People complain that it is now to easy

Just…….shut up, please shut up.

You can still do act 2.

Act 2 is a book on par with a level 80 back item that has no requirement, it also is on fire.

Act 3 is whatever you get from the dungeon, which can be ran as many times as you want.

I think act 3 was just the dungeon

TommyProvolone.3715:

People tend to complain whenever something new comes out. Once something newer comes out, people will forget about the thing they were complaining and move on.

You just can’t please everyone.

You forget the other part where people spill their guts to praise the older thing also.

ZigWentZag.6082:

ya i totally enjoyed corpse running by myself to get next to no reward that was an hour wasted

It took you an hour for the instance?

We are talking about the act 3 instance right?

Were you trying to solo or was your group beyond horrid?

Vzur.7123:

Stevoli.8795:

Vzur.7123:

I just can’t believe they made it a solo instance.. makes me want to just go back to the labyrinth, as much of a zergy mess as that was. A solo instance just seems so crazy anti-climactic.

Uh what? I just ran it with 4 other people.

Hmm.. must have been bugged for me, then. I was just standing there alone. Waited a while, no one else showed up. Got killed almost right away.. Thought that was how it was supposed to be. Doh, I guess?

Did you form a party or enter it alone? If you entered alone and had not partied with anyone, there is your problem.

Attend the party is just that……..attend the party………which has not happened yet.

Agreed with Solirus.

Out of the guilds of mine that ran it so far:

Some got mad moon shield

Some got the recipes

Some got those halloween shoulder pads.

Also, the chest can be opened multiple times, we ran it twice so far and each time got the end chest.

Also, am I the only one who did it for fun? It is not a difficult dungeon guys.

I will admit the puzzle itself made me want to punt some babies…..but after I finally made it…..I actually felt quite satisfied.

No intention of doing it again though >_>

Arthur.6089:

Too bad for whoever can’t get on. it’s not like they are giving gold away just an achievement. It’s their game they make it however they want and if you don’t like it dont play it.

I think they stated there is no achievement for it actually.

Or they could just make it a solo instance.
