Guild Wars 2

Elona was my favorite, but factions/cantha will always have a special place for me since it was the 1st gw I played. I’d love to fight the other dragons but anet needs to get on the ball with content release. New/updated dungeons, underwater content, vanilla builds becoming viable- these are just a few things that needs fixing. If only anet had the sense of blizzard.

They cancelled any underwater content and now cancelling dungeons and new legendaries; I think anet needs to take a step back and realize what actually needs fixing. Even blizzard knows better and is constantly updating old features to keep players interested.

Anet does a terrible job at keeping vanilla classes still viable. All my friends have left gw2 for other games, like WoW for example. Anet or should I say Anerf, needs an actual team that has mmo experience- you shouldn’t have to buy an expansion just so your class can be good, that is cheap. As far as accessing new content, sure that shouldn’t be free if it’s apart of the expansion. New gear should be game wide, not expansion only. Vanilla builds should still be viable. There is so much more wrong with anets tactics than there is right. It’s taken me almost 4 years to realize this once I played other mmos.

Female Norn voice takes the cake on how horrible they sound. It’s a very boring voice like “fine, Ill voice in your stupid game.”

I found the nearest dungeon, helped even newer players through it. Walked around QD and other maps to observe, but it lost its glamour after the curtain was drawn about how incomplete things still were.

Hello! Just to start off by what I mean by the title is what really is the point of choosing certain characteristics over another when creating your character other than RP? What is the point of chosing this spirit over the other? What about this dream over the next or this college over another?

There seems to be no real reason where as humans: they choose which God favors them, There is no impact and no reason, just because? When GW2 launched, I thought choosing grenth for a necromancer would give me a chance at a later quest that involved grenth. Or choosing a raven spirit for Norn would mean to awaken the norn spirit of raven- but I found out that eventually as a norn you could at some point purchase all the spirit transformations through skills and it had no meaning, atleast it lost the meaning for me what it was to be a norn. In GW1, you escort Jora**spoiler*******] to help and eventually kill her brother, svanir. She had lost her spirit of bear & gained it back; [end spoiler]I was hoping for an awakening for norn with their spirits.

Humans- the only thing that really matters is whether you’re noble/poor/commoner but hardly, it only effects your beginning missions even choosing your personality has no real purpose. Why are do only some backstory options effect your characters story, but not the other? I feel the Charr have the most complete and indepth story (just my personal opinion)

Maybe I’m only seeing it one sided, these were just questions I’ve had and wanted to ask someone from Anet.

Some pretty greko-roman styles

Ampa.2749:

This thread is ostensibly directed to back items, per the title. But other valid subjects have popped up that are closely related. I vote no to the back item switch, but do believe Anet has permitted gear to inadvertently become a “griefing” feature.

Have you ever been gliding over a rock in Bloodstone Fen, getting your alignment just right to drop down onto bloodstone ore, just to have someone else open an opaque canopy of stars? It’s the same as a guy with wings standing on a ledge that you want to jump from but you can’t see anything until that guy leaves. Hope he/she is not afk.

I want a switch to turn off the griefing objects. I don’t mind looking at other peoples bunny ears as long as they don’t actually interfere with my ability to play.

My opinion is that the designers do not fully consider the impact of their choices before implementing them. That leads us to these threads trying to turn off the result of their choices.

This was better said and doesnt sound so “your colors offended me and my gender and my opinions im sensitive but dont call me that bc i get offended how dare you”

I can agree with what youve said, I was in a WvW JP, a guildmate of mine was dragging me along and there was this ledge that these 4 people were on just standing, minding their own but they all had huge wings and you couldnt really make out the start of the ledge exactly- the result- we fell to our deaths

They should have built GW2 as an esport type game, not a roleplay/lore pve casual game because that’s what it really is. I finally convinced a few friends of mine to play gw2 with me/buy gw2 and try to pvp and they hate it. They also played wow for 5+ years and the original GW, they still play the original GW. We’ve all agreed that if you take GW2 graphics and everything else of WoW and it would be a perfect game.

We need em, lets all have seashell tops and kelp skirts

I think some new facial animations were added to when they scratch their heads and stretch. Instead of giving a blank stare, they react to scratching their head by closing one eye and stretching they close both eyes. Maybe it’s new or maybe it’s just I’ve never noticed! Anyways, I like it

I just logged on this morning and my FPS went from 40 to 10, nothing else is running – now gw2 is literally unplayable.

Scrapper is an easy counter, a good scrapper? Not so much. Someone who is good at something makes him/her seem impossible to fight. Maybe you just haven’t accepted the fact you’re not as good as you think you are? They have received a nerf to their sustain and trust me, they’re no longer OP. I can take one down in seconds with my necro and warrior. When I play scrapper, I’m the mvp bc I know how to play and know how to play against other classes.

I used to help, if even say “I’m putting on my mentor tag just for this pve event. Yes, I know what I’m doing”. I’ve only led 6 or so maps in verdant brink to full tier 100% completion. And I mean full lead, I even had commanders assisting me when I asked and was given 300 gold to buy a tag. (Verdant is my fav map) But it got to be point where people stopped listening when we wanted an event map, there was zero communication and we’d get the map to 50%ish percent by nightfall and there was always that one troll commander who literally put his tag on to rally people to the event he/she needed then leave and say there was no need for a mentor. It happened one to many times, so I gave up. I’m not speaking for others though. I just stick to pvp now.

I was wanting to make the Eternity, but there is no visual difference to really tell the eternity from twilight or sunrise except the footfall if you look close, I was just wondering if the way the footfall looks is what the eternity would be updated too.

I use a variation of this with warhorn, but insteaad of earth and arcana I use water and air- i love dmg eles that sustain

They’re very simple and easy to play, their traps are overpowered and can melt anything- you lay your traps down and pull the enemy into them, no instructions required. Even someone who has never played an mmo could rock at a trap DH

I’ve wondered this myself, it’s like why hasn’t underwater fighting been balanced and expanded upon? I always joke and say casuals (it’s true as far as underwater balancing goes). But I’d love to use the norn beast transformations in pvp fights and it be as good as the next elite. It’s like why make a skill and make it useless? I mean it’s an entire transformation based from lore and something that made me in awe in gw1; the norn beasts. If they’re so useless Anet then just take them out if you never plan to buff them. Some would argue lore, but some of the gw lore has been stomped on (I mean, look at the Angel wings) so clearly gw lore does not matter. It’s just what some game companies make mistakes with.

You are only useful if you have a team that has coordination at this point. I used to win 1v1s as a staff ele if someone wasnt careful- now: run away, cast: run away, cast: die (even built as a bunk bc conditions and bursts) because you were caught alone. Just go full clutch and glass it from a distance. Way more fun than getting distraught because you lost the last 10 matches because you can’t rotate points without someone, so technically you’re 4v5 if your team can’t rotate. my point, whether you play bunk or glass or try in between you cannot 1v1 anymore and pray you don’t get focused so might as well go damage and atleast take out something

+1 for atleast posting a pvp ele build. I’ll give it a try when I get home, the only problem with ele still atm if no matter what you will be running away from all fights, bc you are burning through your utilities whether you want to or not, where other classes don’t have to worry about the fights they pick- ele does now. It’s pop stability to cast an overload or some combo and pray you don’t get interrupted and burned down so you have time to run away and reset. War horns abilities for tempest are too visually revealing so you can counter it easily. You cannot be a 1v1, so you have to rely on the next person to know how to duel or gank.

A mossy Afro for sylvari? Or ‘root’ braid for sylvari that is decorated by butterflies

I’m sorry this happened gaile, hopefully the hacker was sucked into a vortex that brought them to a parallel world where the floor is made of tiny Legos that are spread out and the air smells of cat pee

Gwens hair from the original guild wars- we already have her outfit

Be happy you atleast have a build! Unlike eles
I’ve been asked to switch from ele during several pvp matches and id switch to necro and we’d do fine

I’d really like an active guild that has great pvpers
Thank you very much in advance!!

I’d like to see some really bad hairstyles. Things like mullets, comb-overs, bowl cuts, etc.

Mullet with handlebar mustache is the only way to go

It used to be the pretty water splash when you switch to water attunement; but it was changed and sped up
That was it

I want mermaid stuff c8

We’ll probably get a glider this go around, achievement points, xp scroll and a title- not bad Imo. I’d like crushed bone dye but that was exclusive to the dye set but it won’t kill me.

I just want mermaid

Hairstyles that don’t suck for one
How about listen to suggestions for once as far as hairstyles go

This is what, the 3rd time in this thread you’ve hated on the hairstyles? Plus, there are two or three other threads you’ve created posts for in the last day saying just as much… Plus starting your own thread on the topic.

You’ve more than made your point about your feelings. At this point you’re just trolling.

~EW

I’m glad I have a fan who watches my posts

~Chas

How about some decent balancing for ele? They’re fun as far as skirmishing goes, but they don’t stand a chance for ranked- I’ve won 4 out of 19(or 21 I lost count) ranked matches with my ele, I hop on my Druid and it’s a breeze because now Druid is your new ele but with a pet

Gw2 isn’t dying, it’s losing players by the day but some return, see if anything has changed after a year – most likely not – then leave

Bumblebee wings and bakcpack

Dragon.3120:

Summer is alrdy gone and we havent still seen the swim suit or bikini outfits.

Anet always says they know what we want, still we are waiting for so long for them.

they know what we want but give us the opposite- I mean look at the recent hairstyles

Some people complain about clipping, here are some others that would be great to see

You can’t tell a difference between eternity from twilight or sunrise except for the gaudy jewel, I sold mine – held onto it since before the HoT patch hoping it would be update so that it looks like it’s own legendary- I mean it’s the combination of two awesome swords, you’d think that would create something epic.

More Elonian based hairstyles would be phenomenal, The elementalists in nightfall get some good hairstyles as well- they were given an afro and a little afro bun- super cute c:

Please no weeb stuff

I’m sorry, what?

no anime style stuff basically

So far I’ve used it, I kinda like it- I don’t care much for bunk tempest ele it’s boring

I use D/F- soldier rune, paladin amulet
the heal I use is Ether renewal with cantrips giving you regen & vigor
I feel I’m always being interrupted so I swapped one of the shouts for Armor of Earth, keeping Aftershock, LF cantrip & Rebound & it comes down to timing, pop AoE if you’re afraid to be stunned or anything then Air overload

Still tweaking it, I use blood and energy sigils

EDit- You might as well not even try healing if you bring ER, so switched to Glyph of EH

Seifer imo would be more of a ranger, he uses a long sword but not a great-sword
Rangers wear coats
Squall would be more of a warrior, even though they are trained similar
Just name your pet after a GF
Seifers coat is greyish/tan, you can pull it off with rangers easily.

Ps: my ele is named Sorceress Rinoa and FF 8 is the best

We need hairstyles like these, female dreads and bi racial hairstyles.
- most styles are flat or done poorly or too anime and silly.

There’s nothing “hardcore” left of this game nor was there ever. It’s either you attempt an event or you want it handed to you and when it’s not handed to you its discrimination.

The way it seems to work the more you delve into balancing and pvp changes at anet, the more incompetent ideas you have the more you get paid, there’s more wrong with pvp and balancing then there is right. The incompetent ideas are what makes gw2 so fun!

After what Anerf did to eles? Bye pvp and gw2

I don’t like the direction anet is clearly going with tempest- there should be damage builds, support and bunk builds, condi builds that all work via sPvP and some pve, but nope- for pvp there is no real direction except support- that is incredibly boring and now ele is feeling clunky and what helped them sustain is no more- you HAVE to have healing vit and or toughness since ele has the lowest hp pool- even with tons of toughness and vitality they can still be melted by conditions
But anet has no clue what they want from ele except support, anet should chance their name to Anerf. And their motto “we don’t understand what pvp means but play our game!”

Karmapolice.4193:

I don’t know how possible it would be, but it would be nice if every hairstyle could get a second dye channel for the tips/roots or something. I know some Asura hairs do this, so I’d like to see it for every hairstyle.

Like a two-toned option? I’d like that, especially if new hairstyle accessory colors are added

Wow makes content to last weeks, from start to finish- anet makes content to last days, even hours.

thegreatbronk.6890:

I know there’s one similar to this for Humans already, but it really doesn’t look like this at all. It’s all weird in the front and doesn’t capture that “look”. This one looks better in the front, is longer on the sides/back and has a better feel to it overall. Unlike the old one, her bangs are actually layered out as it increases in length to frame her face before dropping off to the really long length. Where as the old one is just straight bangs and long hair with nothing going on. With the way they make hair look in this game now I know they can do it right. But yeah, I liked this look of hers in her early days.

I’d love something like what you have, anet created something close to these but it’s a short style and does not frame the face well or the head for that matter- almost as if it’s a wig and all your hair is bundled up under the cap poorly, so the back of the wig won’t fit (I’ve worn a wig before)

The shoulder length bob that was an original before hairkits would be a great model imo, they would just have to lengthen it and maybe fluff it up with some volume some.

Any viable pvp ele builds yet?

There are the dervish hairstyles, they could be human and norn mixed

SnowHawk.3615:

Personally I’d like to see something like these for Norn and Human females.

This, 1000x this!!

Long hairstyle with bang for human female
