Guild Wars 2

Its more like we’re the weakest physically. which I suppose I could accept being a mage like class but you would think our trade off would be very high damage output. which also seem to a little weak compared to some classes.

If anet would give elementalist a decent damage increase or a defence increase well over half the complains might quiet down.

I don’t mind underwater fighting to much with an elementalist. It sucks regardless of what class you are but I’ve always found it amusing that water attunement seems to be good one. must be all that extra water.

Fuzion.4193:

My issue around all of this is the convenience we’ve had since the start of the game was taken away and replaced with the option to get it back by purchasing it, either via cash to gems, or gold to gems conversion. Either way we’re having to pay with our cash or time to obtain convenience back.

If the airship was added like the Terrace was, where it was in addition to the convenience we once had in Lion’s Arch, then this wouldn’t be an issue with me and it’s just a choice then. And yes, I realize some will say, “You have the choice now.” In which case I’ll point those that say that back to the first paragraph.

It’s a bad development move to take something existing away from the player base and make them pay for it. That’s my whole issue. That and the once-off passes seem to be fairly rare, as I’ve received two and I hit the siege 2-3 times a day.

I fear and expect the day will we have to buy some kind of special pass to be allowed into certain content outside of a expansion.

Seras.5702:

Are we really surprised that Evon is being sneaky and taking our money without really explaining “the statue”?

sounds like pretty standard sales practice to me. considering “QuarterMaster Gnashblade” is being forced into giving all his good for free to the lion guard under Kiel’s orders he’s gonna be trying to make any kind of cash to soften the blow.

I know what’s happening. When Scarlet had her little crazy accident she didn’t see some story advancing theme, she saw us! She has learned that everyone in tyria is nothing but digital data and their lives are nothing more then playthings for our amusement and has gone all Agent Smith now.
shes has be scanning the world looking for the weak point in the game to break out our control and gain her freedom.

what you mean lost our main hub? Its all at the vigils base now. if anything its better now because its more compact now so less travel time between vendors.

don’t see what the issue. there are only so many you can save at a time till we’re running around aimlessly looking for a respawn to save. The champions if anything draw people in to do events which reveals more people to be saved at the end and also adds some to the list (20’s believe) so the way I see it, champions are good here. motivation to complete events quickly to get the loot and run over to the next one.

If I had to fault the whole thing its expecting us to reach 1,500 people to get the big prize

I’m quite impressed with this back piece. I love how we can decide how many legs will stick out for people who doesn’t want to much extra cluter

Lamont.5973:

Although I would love a zodiac colored skin option, until then this will do nicely:

and one day anet will release a cloak and skull head piece and you will have the perfect skeletor

We’re not as bad off as some claim, yes we near the bottom of the barrel while other classes like warrior are way at the top but we are still quite playable.

I find our mobility fine as it is. Always rooms for improvement tho

you mean besides running away if an enemy so much as glances in your general direction?

zergs are always gonna happen in guild wars. this game is focused alot around team work and not solo adventuring, least in cases of invasions and attacks. Its suppose to be 1 army clashing against another.

Lord Kuru.3685:

More skills means you may have to change your build. Changing your build means possibly changing your gear. Changing your gear after already grinding through one Ascended set? I can already feel the rage echoing from the future.

I think Anet might have screwed themselves here.

you sound like they have something else to fill in the time while they wait for a change in the living story.

I love how they designed her have so many disadvantages compared to other NPC and still be able to do everything they can and maybe more. The fact she clings to Braham like a little sister is so precious. But the biggest thing I like is whats to come.
Braham- Eir’s son
Taimi- zojja’s apprentice (might be a deeper relationship, unknown yet)
I can forsee quite a few clashes happening because of this.
Cute little asura clinging to Braham might also ruffle some fur with Rox to boot

is it a bug from old content or is it a glitch from something they put in to trigger soon and its doing it early for some? both sound pretty good.

1. lack of progression
2. very poor end game quality to motivate me
3. balancing issues

nexxe.7081:

Some people have theorized…

Evon Gnashblade.
Ellen Kiel.

I would rule out Evon though, since he’s a Charr, and “E” was a human form.

unless he had access to some kind of potion or makeover kite. just a thought

Cush.4063:

Woah! Surprise! The trolls weren’t the first ones to post in this thread and tell you how horrible the game and empty it is when it isn’t. Seriously, I’m really surprised. I sometimes feel they spend every waking moment looking for a thread to rant their hate towards guild wars 2. But no, the game isn’t dead in the slightest. Pick a good popular server though if you want to see more people while leveling. Enjoy!

imagine alot of trolls have already migrated to other places by now.

Right because spending 100 gold on a tag suddenly makes commanders important…

If you want a really good idea what most of us think of commanders go outside onto a busy street and start barking orders to strangers that pass you by.

its a plot to hook us on those rubys

ronpierce.2760:

Also, WoW was designed with grinding in mind. People know to expect it every few months. However their grinds, while more, are shorter. Thus they become more GRATIFYING (and why WOW was criticized for spoiling the mmo community with all of its “instant gratification”). The thing is, many small grinds are okay because you feel rewarded. In gw2 you can’t even “grind” for half the stuff you want. You end up grinding gold to buy it all because the drops are very unreliable, hence no gratification until the very end of a looooong road for just 1 reward (say, a legendary). And for most, it’s just not worth it. Grinds need some satisfaction to justify continuing your grind. And to be frank, grinding ascended/legendaries in gw2 is both boring and unsatisfying.

I’m in complete agreement. GW2 makes legendaries and ascended gear their idea of end game content, meaning it suppost to take you months even years to get something.
Add it the fact your expected to do 1 of 2 methods, grind endlessly to get gold to buy those over priced gems or give them real money. lots of it.

not so sure she be the type to betray anyone, too emotional and innocent by nature. That being said she is however the easiest to be manipulated because of said emotions.

Its still early to tell if its more like sibling love or romantic love but we can all agree on something. There is more to those 2 then what’s being shown on the surface.

Its been a strong theory since day one of guildwars. if not during beta.

Thighum.7295:

Thief: I want the weapon that pink person is using about 1 min into this vid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b48gXxEMyTA

Would be so awesome to have mid ranged cleaving attacks. +haha

so whips/chains

Its also a possible fractal later on. have us fight in a lane with a group of npc’s and after lasting for a time limit have us go inside the portal and fight 1 of the 5 wardens at random.

its pretty average if you ask me. good on females but like 80-90% of light gear looks ugly on the male counter part. can we please have something other then dresses and robes!

I’ve always found auto attacks for staff way to stiff. I can understand the whole fancy show as we form the elements in our hands before we throw them but it feels like by the time I let lose the attack I could of attacked several times with any other weapons auto attack. and then there that throw itself…. I feel like i’m playing little league. Speed the kitten attacks up already!

I think what needs to happen is anet has to make it clear what will be used in the future and what is a 1 time deal. maybe then we can stop hording junk in the faint hope it might have a use later.

Tobias Trueflight.8350:

What weapon do I want for my ranger?

. . . swordchucks.

The gunchucks from RWBY would be far better.

Healix.5819:

At the darkest moment, Hero-Tron will appear to save the day.

… but will die because of it

… and then be fixed

… by Scarlet

The next boss.

I can see it now, scarlets gets killed off by what ever force has been driving her insane in some attempt to destory it and once the dust settles from the after math we’ll learn she actually survived by putting her mind in hobo-tron.

I’d be interested in seeing a elementalist with a sword, it would go nicely with daggers and not seem forced and also balance elementalists range by have 2 melee types and 2 range types which would also help spread out all the D/D elementalists a little.

no, warriors are fine as they are. Everyone else just needs to be buffed.

It’s not a few people with Embers. People use embers in dungeons all the time as part of a strategy. People use embers in many of the big fights and take out another as soon as the first one dies. It’s a drain on resources.

If a zone has a max cap of 150 and there are 150 people in it, and then 30 people summon embers, that’s another 30 things in the zone beyond the cap.

Do you know for a fact it doesn’t cause a strain on resources?

thats like saying its a drain of resources when a player is over using a flashy skill. whats next? putting a limit on how many attacks can be active in a map at once.

It’s nothing like that. Players use skills but still need to be animated separately. Imps use skills too, and still have to be animated. It’s another thing for the server to track and keep track of.

A skill animation has no health, has no armor, it’s just a picture of what you’re doing. An summoned elemental (or anything else for that matter), not so much.

Ok I was see your point when I look at it like that but it still feels stupid that it would be around the same level of resource as an enemy/ally NPC when has proven they have no problem flooding a zone with hoards of enemies for events so but a few embers and orc pets following us is suddenly a major issue that had to be nerfed into the ground this late into the games creation seems fishy

actually I quite like how this was done this time around. Achievements are possible and can even be gotten by pure luck some times but are still at a level that can present a challenge when your aiming for it.

I could never tell if that was intentional (being able to jump first wall) or a glitch.

you missed the very obvious clue on the ceiling.

Kaiyanwan.8521:

An expansion worth of content – this was actually talking about the additions to the gem store. ANet put more new items in the store than other MMOs would do for an expansion.

that’s because its their ONLY source of income. so of course its the 1 thing that’s got the most. most items coming out of the Gemstore don’t add anything to the game, just something to keep us amused for a few mins.

Need to be reversed. considering how easy it is to lose these pets in a very simple fight because of aoe, their limited time, and lack of control and bad habit run off on its own to die when we aren’t looking is this really worth putting a 30 min summon restriction?

This does feel more kind of like a face slap for anyone who already bought a pick in the past. I can accept the new theme being clockworks and I’d even be interested in possible switching if I felt this worked better for a class like engineer (which I’m guessing its aimed at) but this new “addition” is a bit hurtful. sure it costs a little more but its principle of the matter more then anything

Corpus Christi.2057:

Guys, calm down. 3 Months left. 3 final months for ANet to make their statement: we’re keeping the ramainder of the playerbase or letting them go to the incoming MMOs.

Patience is a virtue.

patience my kitten , I’ve already commited myself to wildstar. i won’t leave guildwars2 but if all I have to look forward to is 2 weeks of content I can play through that in a few hours and have 2 weeks to play another MMO full time.

Eh honestly its a cool little bit of dynamic content.

LOL Though they should make it more clear why it happens XD Ive seen come new people clueless on the chat trying to figure out what happened.

A little message on screen would help.

It’s a bit of a problem lately: lack of conveyance.

it’s funnier without a message.

somewhere, someone has grown a chronic phobia of killing critters in GW2.

Lol omg, I’m just thinking of it now, someone’s running through Lornars and every time they throw a fireball at a passing critter they instantly die xD.

we can make that an living story event. some crazy asura put some new experimental chemical in the zones water supply and now everything has a random chance of mutating on death into some abomination or maybe just explodes taking you with it.

Lol make it so it only affects critters and some wildlife (animals) in the zone and I’d totally be down!

we can even call it “when critters attack”

Elbegast.6970:

Scumbag Mawile.6384:

report taimi for griefing

What is with you people and the reporting? You act as if you have never played an mmo before. Maybe Taimi is working for Scarlet Briar? Ever think about that?

Taimi, to the moon! Let me play among the stars. Let me see what winning’s like on Jupiter and Mars.

she endless goes on about how she wants to learn from scarlet and become her favorite so yes, yes she is working with scarlet.

there are transmuting gems that transfer skins but thats just more gems to spend. best idea is buy it. throw it in the bank and when your 80 and have the exotics with stats you want THEN use the skin

don’t see why that would happen, overflow isn’t server specific. its a collection of players from all the servers that couldn’t get on their main servers map.

Mada.5319:

Cursed Shore train still exists?
Never even knew there was a Southsun train. What do they farm?

We farm those blue karka shells off the vets. get around 1-2 per vet can take out 2-3 vets in a min or so. none stop from 1 vet to the next each shell goes for anywhere between 6-8 silver a pop. its more pure profit vs other trains aiming for exotics lodestones and crafting materials.

your all wrong, hes pointing at it going “Pew, Pew”

Shpongle.6025:

Chaotic Storm.2815:

is it a foot fetish or a dominatix fetish?

I don’t think it’s the same thing. They’re wired so that they get turned on by bare feet the way normal people get turned on by a woman’s intimate private lady parts, that’s why they love feet so much. It’s some wires in the brain crossed differently than in our brains. Not that there’s anything wrong with it.

I though dominatix more because of the high heels
