Guild Wars 2

Dungeon sellers could disappear from the face of tyria and not 1 person would notice or really care.

diminishing returns. More you kill something over and over again in a short time the less your going to receive. Its an anti bot/camper device. Just be thankful its ONLY effecting the event reward and not the boar drops.

If you look around there are hints all over. I’ve figured out quite a bit from different interviews with staff and quotes they drop here and there to get a rather decent idea how this new world boss is gonna work. http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/01/14/exclusive-preview-of-guild-wars-2s-origin-of-madness-release/

honestly if I was you i’d stay on your server. guest to more populated ones and join a guild their. The only real purpose of a server is for WvW

I don’t see them making it as hard as the new Tequatl. harder yes with some special mechanics but not likely as hard as Tequatl.

just curious on what change you guys are talking about. this is the first I heard of this.

living storys are exclusive to there time slots along with most meta rewards. you can however experience a very small amount of it through some of the new fractals.

having to be between 20-30 is pretty much the main reason silver dubloons are so rare and expensive. well that and it being a chance item for chests.

ticket be the only way to recover it right now. Gas mask was a 1 time thing.

its suppost to be a form of “balance” so 1 class doesn’t take a major advantage over the others but as you’ve probably figured out by now. warrior is just that. miles ahead of the other classes and anet only continues to praise it by saying its exactly where they want it while the rest of us huddle in a corner punished for even looking half decent in 1 of few build options.

as Danikat says look over armors. finds sets or even pieces that look good get their names down and then proceed to The mists. Find the PVP lockers they have EVERY skin in their so look them up and preview them to build up the perfect look before you go about to find them.

Always nice to see these. Sad part is most of the people who do die from those easier attacks die because of 2 things. Lag from the major events (quite common I hear) and the lazy zerg mindset who can’t be bothered to dodge because that requires work. even if this thread can only safe 1 poor soul from a fate of eating snow its worth it.

only problem is the backlash that would come with this. It might be different if the world wasn’t dependant on the internet but trying to pull something like that is like the goverment suddenly adding a tax for breathing.

There are far to many people who would tear this idea down before it even got a chance to star crawling. SOPA was a good example of that.

The only loose end is… What do the Hallucination spores have to do with the Scarletbot?

The Hallucination gas will be spewing forth from the exhaust pipe of the Scarletbot, raining a gaseous cloud of terror down on us! :-O

I’d be a little more worried about the foot first :p

depends on how the end story goes. But I do agree it would of been kitten amazing if we started out by stopping the aether or molten doing some major operation on the ground with the thumpers and just as we think we’ve won scarlet appears before us with a big speech and unleashes her 200 foot doom bot that casual walks out from behind a mountain to finish what the thumpers started leading to whatever suppost to happen

I have to agree that would be amazing. whole new meaning to the term “stomped into the ground”

We have done how many Major living story events, we destroyed the molten alliance, the aether alliances, the clockworks invasion, and even nuked a giant towering plant/tower. and what have we received at the end chest. NOTHING! thats what.

Way I see it we should of been finding a 1 time chest like we had during the Karka invasion event. Full of exotic bags and weapons and gold and precursors! Anyone who did that story was jumping for joy when we were getting 3-4 exotic weapons and armors and a very good chance at a precursor. If we had more chests like that poping up ever now and then I imagine people won’t be so sore about how hard it is to get 1. even if you didn’t get the 1 you needed the gold you could get off it would help you buy the one you did need.

So why has this amazing chest never appeared again anet? That was the kind of chest we cheers for after a long hard story. We felt rewarded!

honestly I’d be a little annoyed if this ended in 1 event. Least we know with it being 4 part its gonna hopefully be interesting.

KOPPER.1458:

Why place it out there in lornars pass? It’s not really near a city if her goal is to destroy one.

might not be a city so much as her targetting the priory’s HQ. The place with all the collected knowledge on everything they have discovered in ruins and collected in research. seems to be a pretty likely target especially if they found something she wants badly.

KOPPER.1458:

It been said already that we don’t know the purpose for those “thumpers” yet, the wurm just happens to come to surface because of them.

Kinda makes the depths of Tyria more and more interesting for me.

considering that the asura come from the underground when the destroyers drove them to the surface i’d have to agree

Sonja Teh Trapper.7012:

well another part you left out was the champion giant wurm queen like the one beginng of norn hunt! i will wait and see what coming out in the next patch

I kinda saw that as the toxic part of the invasion actually. other wise it looks to be straight clockworks who is attacking.

we didn’t get the giant earthquake or rise of the destroyers like most predicted but I get the feeling this is only the first part to a series of living stories till scarlet dies/defeated. after all from what I can see we’ve only got the clockworks and toxic attacking right now. Imagine Aether pirates and molten alliances are up next in the assault.

1 thing does make me hope for an elder dragon. That voice, when I hear it I instant thought “dragon!”

gotta admit it looks interesting. I liked the way they had chains holding her up like a puppet with a giant UFO. Wonder if its gonna be a race to kill her as she “walks” to some target with us under foot the whole time trying to keep up.

really? we have to buy the rights to mine a whole 3 copper, 3 iron, and 3 gold a day… this is a joke on every level. Is anet planning to strip the game of these 3 nodes or something to make these exclusive?

Guildwars is gonna have a hard time keeping a strong player base as new MMO’s come out. Which is only gonna continue to create a downward spiral as less people fund the game causing anet to produce less, which only drives out more players. Nasty cycle

Zuik.7158:

I don’t know. I’m just excited that they might actually make the class enjoyable to play.

It’s already a joy to play. To survive in without going extreme that’s the trick

I’m more of a d/d elementalist it’s but even I still use staff from time to time. I find it’s strongest aspect is supportive rather then laying waste to enemies. It works best when you have a partner to support you and be the bait so you can focus more on piling on effects and aoe’s without having to run around avoiding enemies and having them walk out of your aoe’s

Behellagh.1468:

$600 no. $200 I can believe. Roughly 40 chests will yield one ticket and 10 scraps. But RNG means that only works out when you are unlocking 100s of chests.

Tell that to the pile of chests I opened that gave me squat when scraps first came out.

Karizee.8076:

Kind of like this?

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Proxemics_Lab_

Well I’ll be. They do have something along those lines. Must of missed it.

Curunen.8729:

Or a puzzle that restructures itself regularly? Paths change and so on?

Less jumping, more maze, but much bigger than any already in game.

That would be nice as well. I know it’s rather hard to do but if it could be even vaguely like the movie cube was id love every min of it.

It’s all these high miss skills that turned me off from scepter in the first place which is a real shame because I’d love to have the air and earth skills it has but when 2/4 elements are major turn offs it’s not worth it.

It is a sad state for crafting when everything can be bought for the same price it costs to build it. I miss the WoW crafting. When you made stuff it was exclusive to you and your craft of choice but here it’s a joke. Only craft worth any time is cooking.

Psynch.4087:

Those might be the outcomes, but what’s the actual motivation? That she is secretly a good guy looking to help us out by training us?

Her motivation would likely be from her little mental trip during the experiment. They do describe what happened in there a little but not enough to truly explain her sudden change or what she truly learned from that experience.

Sad part is no matter how much complaining we do it will never change. This chest RNG is likely 2/3rd of income for them so as long as we as a whole feed it enough to keep them happy it will never change.

That, but on a pvp enabled area.

I could see that being a blast. Open a door only to find enemy players already inside. That certainly would add a level of danger that can’t be predicted

We have this, its called obsidian sanctum. People complained about so much that ANET increased badges drop rates in bags, and made siege drop and be sellable.

Then they made it its own instance so people wouldnt take up space in EB away from people there to fight. Now its mostly empty.

I’m talking about a labyrinth of traps and mini puzzles not a Jp that seems more about killing and less about finishing. I’m looking more for a ephasist on puzzle and replay value

Farron.4071:

Grappling hooks. Because let’s face it. Swinging around in city’s, jumping from roof to roof…. Need I say more.

A labyrinth. Enter a room solve the puzzle inside. Succeed and a path opens that leads the correct way. Into another room with a small chest and a second puzzle and so on and so on. Get it wrong mobs spawns., traps set off. And so on. As you go deeper you’ll run across paths that split leading into different rooms that branch out here and there forming a labyrinth of sorts. The halls can have traps, broke. Area and other things to add a challenge to reach the rooms.

Never! The grinch is trying something different this year. Instead of stealing Christmas he stole everything else instead.

CMstorm.8679:

would any1 else like if the trident skills were affected by Blasting Staff as well, because they currently aren’t, and why does Magnetic Current pull yourself to your target? doesn’t that interrupt you?

Also, is it too late for there to be an underwater version of conjures?

I think Anet gave up on underwater elementalists a long time ago.

They gave up on water fights period

Would be nice.

Arena nets really stepping up their time table. Took wow till cata to have a end of the world earthquake. We get it in a year and a half.

Mahaedros.7085:

It already exists in the game !!

Defeat the misplaced steam ogre
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Defeat_the_misplaced_steam_ogre

(here’s a video if you haven’t done it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zW9zNa6VsOw)

^ that’s not the best video but it shows players jumping in the portal to fight the Champion Steam Ogre AFTER they fight the fire elemental in the Thaumanova Reactor.

The players have the CHOICE to fight the old boss, and if they choose to they can fight the new boss.

This is how Tequatl’s revamp should have been done: save the original World Boss fight and add a new CHOICE to fight a revamped World boss.

Sparkfly Fen is a level 55-65 zone and there is no way an impromptu group of 55-65 players can overcome Tequatl. Many bosses are in lower level zones and if there are any plans to revamp other bosses, the model that exists in the game already with champion Steam ogre would work well for any new Boss fights planned – much better than what was done with the Tequatl fight.

Claw of jormag, do anything you want with that fight but leave the rest of the original World Boss fights as they are and just add an OPTION to fight any new World Boss additional encounters.

So kind of like a round 2 idea. Beat them they drop a standard world boss chest as They flee some where like a portal or cave anything along those lines with the option of us chasing them and finish them off for a even better chest.

Neat little idea. If I could control where and when my water elemental does its splash 7k heal that would be pretty gamechanging.

I can’t see how it could work as a trait though. A trait that adds an extra button somewhere seems rather odd. Maybe as a toggle on the glyph itself after the elemental has been summoned, much like ranger spirits work

The control idea was more to help handle the issue of mobility. All but the air run up into Melee to fight which is not always ideal for our squishier defences. So I purpose a counter measure to us having control. Make them like a rangers spirite as you suggested that follow closely behinds us like a bodyguard that swings at our targets in Melee range and shots something at a ranged distance. Giving us a means to manage their movements and just trigger their special by reclicking the glyph?

Sounds pretty good, but I think we might have to choose between being able to control where they go, or control when they use their special ability, cause otherwise we need an additional button. I don’t think that’s gonna happen.

I’d choose being able to reclick for special ability. On demand protection/7k heal/ranged stun/ good aoe damage volley, would make this SO much better.

we just use the icon we used to summon it for the button so no new button has to be made. The following is simple to, Just add the code spirited use to follow and good.

Mbelch.9028:

Wow I read it as “increase elementalist hp and armor.” So I thought he meant as a new boon. Never mind lol.

Nope just for our under appreciated minions who I’ve noticed is very much ignored but a lot of elementals. Seems to be a waste of a nice concept. Who wouldn’t want a elemental body guard to help handle our squishy defence in a more effective manner.

their separate worlds in this game. I play MMO’s for the PvE part more then anything. When I’m in any kind of PvP mood I just pick up a shooter or something more designed for fighting other people.

There always going to be elitist in games. It’s a way of life. Just like there we be new players. Thankful there isn’t much in guild wars 2 to feed these elitist.

Mickey mb.8690:

That’s not your business. I posted this because I have a problem, not because I wanted to show somebody what I’m selling.

That right there makes me question everything your telling us. Who hides what they are trying to get people to buy? Only one answer comes to mind.

Rouven.7409:

As soon as one scrap is guaranteed in a box I might consider it.

That’s how a lot of people thought it be like when it was announced. Instead your more likely to find the whole ticket is half the time and cost it takes to get 10 scraps. I completely renounced giving the game money after that point.
