Guild Wars 2

I was under the impression long ago that at any time any where a dragon can strike the area you are in. Renowned hearts are ok for a static dynamic event for mapping and such. Dynamic Events have become static constantly repeated over and over again in the exact same areas at the exact same times. How are they dynamic now they are now just quests with no on to talk to about them.

Yes when the monsters are said to be doing something that happens which is fine. Why doesn’t the Shatterer come attack Queensdale, or why doesnt the Maw attack Caledon Forest. Those would be dynamic unexpected events like this game was suppose to provide.

Zeefa.3915 Sure she is the commander of the pact (Trehearne is still the leader, not you)

That is not true before zhaitan he gives that up to the player as not only commander but leader of the pact. Once his quest is done restoring the land of Orr from the corruption you see him on the ship he says he has finished his quest and then tells you that you are the leader of the pact now.

This idea may or may not of been talked about so far from what I have read through the few pages of suggestions it has not, so here goes.

Everyone likes change in games and choices that is what make a game grow and get better. The main problem with putting skills to weapons it stagnates changes which could be bad for the game.

The idea is to start a system to add alternative weapon skill choices not by changing weapons but by earning the new skills either through special events, recipes, etc. These new skills should work with the other weapon basic skills that come with the weapon itself. They could be changed out fully to a new set or one by one just like the utility skills. It should not change the types of weapons that a profession can use only give other options for the same weapons. Also people have complained that they cannot switch where their skills are on the keyboard its always 12345 it makes it harder to use those skills because most ppl do not use their pinky as their main finger.

Well anyway that is my suggestion give more weapon skill option later in the game. Any thoughts are welcome, but remember this game needs a shot in the rear.

I am the type of gamer that likes to take things kinda slow alot of people are already getting great things in the game like legendaries and ascended armor. I have eight characters one of each profession. I have two level 80’s one level 56, and the rest are from nine to eleven. I really understand about the dedicated healer thing in other games, but there was one major problem with that. Good dedicated healers will not help people unless they are pro. This I can understand also, but how do people get better if all the dedicated healers will not help them. I played guildwars for over six years, have three gwamm’s , and really did not like healing I was ok to a degree on it.

The reason I like to take my chars a bit slower is so I can learn as I go what they are capable of. My Ranger for example everyone seems to kinda hate their pets abilities. I love my pet because it does more damage per hit than my short-bow can. I can also send my pet out alone to kill things without me being near the target. My thief well I had trouble at first died quite a bit but learned to kinda take things out one at a time. Of course when I did that I still lost half my health per fighting one foe. I changed some things around and I now can somewhat tank anything up to a veteran abomination. When I am in a larger grout I use bow the trick is to use the signet while fighting and u can stay up pretty long. The signet is not fool proof, but it does a nice job of keepin her alive.

Now on to what this is about I am bringing my mesmer up in the game she is the level 56 from earlier. I look at my traits also look for ways to stay alive. What is really nice is the traits not only help me keep healed it also helps the team. Putting out clones and such gives 2 seconds of regeneration to all allies in the area. This may not be a type of direct heal you are used to but it helps a lot. With other part time healers in the group people can last longer some of my traits not only heal but remove conditions.

What I am saying is just because you cannot be a dedicated healer do not give up on a new game that you could love. The Idea of Guildwars 2 was to be different from the crowd. If people think this is a WoW clone they are stupid just because it has a persistant world similar to WoW makes it a clone does not make sense to me.

I have a two characters that have finished their personal story as the commander of the pact. The pact is the three Orders of tyria working together for the goal of killing Zhaitan. Since the story makes everyones character a commander then Trehearne gives full control to you at the last part of the story before the dungeon part that should make your character liked by all three orders not just one you joined at first.

The reason I am saying this is because of armor choices joining an order is not the same as cultural armor where it is just for humans, charr, etc. If your character goes through the story line and becomes the pact leader or even kills Zhaitan that character should be able to have access to all order armor not just the one they chose.

I would like to get feedback on this because it seems like the choices we were promised are not there and should be changed. I am really picky on armor style yes I like more skin on my characters I hate coats on them come on just because another game has half naked characters there is an inbetween that looks good too. I had a sin in guildwars that used a 1k set of armor mostly imperial but used a luxon top she was kurzick It still covered more than most games do but was considered naked by some come on you see more rear on a beach than my char showed in gw.

I have been watching thieves lately in pve they use heartseeker about 4 or 5 times and disappear. Then see then all of a sudden later in other places they appear to gather then all of a sudden they are gone. They do not use a move at all they just disappear watching the area there is no such thing as a perma stealth thief at one point the time will run out and with a nice field of view as a thief myself they should appear a bit away in any direction sometime soon, but they don’t. There is also no way they can go stealth by using heartseeker four to five times. Something is not right they are either bots or they have found a new exploit which the devs need to look into hardcore. If found out that it is either one they should be banned just like before. Like iowen says there is no time to report them because they disappear so fast.

Maybe i do not understand the stealth thing that well but something is not totally right only 3 skills I see use true stealth unless you are fighting and one you have to stand there for a few seconds to stay in stealth to move. First is of course Hide in shadows which lasts for 3 seconds shadow refuge can last around 9 seconds total and blinding powder lasts another 3 seconds. thats a total of maybe 15 seconds of stealth and each has a move to use them or animation using them. The recharge even with 20% reduction in them is still way too high to make anyone perma stealth.

That is my take on it like I said it is either a new style of bot or an exploit that is actually worse than the first exploit for Karma weapons anyone caught using it needs to be taken out. Lets make this game honest as it can be so people will play it for fun not for profit.

And with cloak and dagger that needs a target to hit first before it can be used and the range is dagger range it can be an escape but its not perma no way it can be.

Since this is a new subject on bot types it seems they are back. Recently in Caledon Forest there have been several low level thieves appearing at the Astoria Waypoint they use what looks like heart seeker some up to about 7 times then all of a sudden gone. Not that they left the game, but went into stealth permanately. This happened late last nite, and early this morning 11/23-11/24 2012. So what is going to happen with permastealth thief bots?

Some say bots have hurt the economy others say they balance the economy that I do not know. I do not want them I would rather have that many people playing. Bots are fake numbers of boxed sales. No one can use more than one character per account at any one time so they must buy more boxes to create and use several bots. That makes any games sales go up

Guildwars had the Mursat that if they used Spectral Agony and you were not infused you lost 100 health a second. Now the Karka are replacing the Mursat in that department. But instead of fighting an Eleodon to infuse your armor its a two step process. Do fractal dungeon and use the mystic forge to add the infusion. Seems like a low amount but in Guildwars there were only 20 levels and that was maximum. Arenanet believed and still believes in balance in their games so in guildwars a level 20’s highest foe was 32 no 5k damage to or from foes.

Anyway about gear progression there were special maxed weapons in guildwars that everyone wanted but could not always get some were not even maxed but they were cool looking. If people think that a couple additions in stats actually help that much then thats fine. Actually it still is your skill that makes you better not maximum stats on a weapon. You can still fail in Guildwars 2 just like anyone else relying on a +2 or +3 difference in a couple of improvements does not always improve people. People in guildwars wanted the weapons caused they looked cool not because they made them better.

Also anyone who wants a legendary weapon has to actually work for it since a lot of the items are account bound to get one some are soul bound like karma and skill points. So its up to the person that wants it and once its made it can’t be sold to anyone so its a status symbol most of all nothing more nothing less.

The F2 skill will not work until the pet actually gets to target so it does not make a difference when u use f2 unless it is an aoe spell. Believe it or not that F2 attack is great. And from the comment from Aerthersong when you use the F2 skill it just does not seem to respond. Your right and it looks like it should be annoying but when the pet reaches it responds and does not have to be reclicked it is just a delay until the pet gets to target.

I send my pet out to kill and destroy without my help all the time. It is wonderful against equipment, and hard to get to foes. All I have to do is if it starts losing health is use troll unguent it gives another generation on health my pet also has better regen health than I do due to the traits. Also use signet of the wild again for regeneration of health.
The ranger has the best range even past longbow range using a pet do not discount them they also protect the ranger very well if your not payin attention lol.

Well I am not sure where to post this because there are quite a few issues people seem to have with pets AI abilities etc. They want this added this taken away all kinds of things they think their pet is weak or the ranger is weak because of the pet. Well I am not goin to tell you any kind of build yes the ranger is a bit weak on damage one thing people are not getting is your pet is a weapon. A very controllable weapon that people are not utilizing very well. I use birds (not moas) a white raven and snow owl for land and a shark and ice drake for underwater. Believe it or not there are things a shark cannot attack but the drake can so watch what your pet does. There is also a trait that gives your pets attacks more power over time until downed then that starts again.

As for holding aggro pets are not suppose to hold aggro like a warrior was suppose to they are there for damage. There is so much a pet can do that people do not know much about they are way better in gw2 than they ever were in gw I had a ranger in gw that used a pet sparingly and a beastmaster. If anyone remembers Urgoz I took my beastmaster in there but all pet skills no bow skills at all so I was just that a bm not a true ranger. Anyway I had an advantage when it came to the exhaustion thing that plagues everyone on that part of the mission. Beastmasters do not use spells they use pet attacks so I had full energy and kept on fighting.

Anyway lets get back to gw2 and how pets are. In gw2 I can be a ranger/beastmaster because my attacks count and I am not hindered by having all beastmaster skills I actually have ranger skills to use. The F1 key is the reason I think pets are awesome figure it out.

I dont give a crap what you dam pro leets say about these dungeons for the regular player they area impossible. When this game was being developed it was said all of the professions had a chance to help one another. I don’t care if there are 5 thieves in the friggin dungeon they all should be able to make it. But no we got lied to it takes a special team with special set ups to do any dungeon in this game. I myself have a thief I know I aint perfect with her and probably never will be but I know overkill when i see it. The dungeons on this game are pure overkill unless your team is super pro leet. My teams are not and they should not have to be. I do not care about time like I have to do it in 20 minutes what I care about is accomplishment if that is not there then no point in trying. Go ahead tell me how frigging easy they are and I will tell u to F@#k off. The respawn of this game is stupid the regeneration of this game is stupid no boss should regenerate on this game and once the other bad guys are done they should not respawn in a boss fight. Im really really close to quitting gw2 I played gw for over 6 years but I may just find another one to play or not. Not like it matters cause you already sold me the game what does the anet team care lol

To be honest I have been trying to complete one dungeon with my guild for a while dont matter which one all of them to us are stupidly hard at some bosses with massive aoe damage we have tried two.

First is sorrows embrace remember since we never completed them its in story mode when we get to the fire golem it just kitten the kitten out of us. One the over done lava font is way over ranged so you cannot get near it to do much damage then after it kills everyone it regenerates?? Wtf is that why its not like its not doin enough damage in the first place where we cant hardly touch it in the first place. Then we just did Honor of the waves and we got to the boss that puts out so much aoe damage u cant hardly get near him to do anything finally we got him down to about 2/3 dead he goes and runs off and heals why do these bosses have a regeneration of health at all? After that my guildies gave up.

How can I as a guild leader do things like dungeons if they are impossible to get through in story mode? I cannot see how people consider dungeons easy at all is there some kind of cheat code your using?

Anet said this game would be fair and all classes will be able to do anything on this game so to me and some others they would think you could take any class non specific even multiple of the same class and do these dungeons but nope its goin to be just like guildwars and the special teams again.

This is a suggestion about bot control because it is a suggestion post this is the reason I am using it. Bots are a big problem in any game but for guildwars 2 its really early to have to deal with them.

Guildwars 2 bots are kind of unique because from what I have researched they use a clicking program that cannot be seen from the game unless they are being watched. This program if guild wars 2 is not on and it is running will click on the screen anyway if the program is on.

The suggestion I have which may tick a few people off but for the good of the game itself should not is remove auto loot option and also the take all option to make it even more impossible for the bots to click on the items to put them in inventory move them around with no pattern so the bots cannot predict where to click.

That should take care of the bot problem and stop them from just running through the game with immunity. To be honest with the way its being done I cannot see how anet will ever catch them all. So the best thing to do is remove the reason they are there, and at the same time keep the items available for everyone.

I for one am not impressed on the Ehmry bay server they are running rampent people are just goin to call this a failed bot WoW clone and unless something is done about this quickly you are not gonna have anyone to sell gems too.

Botting is a huge problem if someone posts a video of botters to show what they look like I have heard that because of the agreement it degrades that person (bot) how can you degrade them if your showing them in a bot group we all can tell them easy they are usually rangers with pets all look nearly the same and names like xoissl come on get real dont threaten people with losing their accounts cause they have a video showing bots at work do something about the bots not the reporter. If you told me that I would get banned for posting a video of a botter I would tell u to take this game and shove it as most people would thats just stupid

I love guildwars series I love anets ideas but i sometimes think you go overboard on stuff like that. Anyway do something about the bots they are getting on peoples nerves and try to trust the reports on them thanks.

Pash.9102:

Oky so i encountered a bug that realy makes me mad every time .
Lets take for an example a Elemntalist that cast his fire ball and in midlle of his cast i am going stealth it still casted and hit me althought he suppose have lost target/miss or w/e . One more Example is Ranger that chanels his Rpaid Fire and after 2 arrows i am going stealth rest of arrows keep hiting me and again he lost his target that whole point of stealth correct me if i am wrong .

Ok lets look at what this you say that if you go into stealth mode even after you have been targeted and attacked in that split second after they already sent their attack. That attack should be gone right? Unfortunatly it does not work that way. After the attack has finished, they should not be able to attack you again if your still in stealth.

I have shadow refuge and I love it they can be right next to me attacking and boom use that they walk away. However if they are still attacking just before its use those attacks still finish as expected. Your stealth does not give you the ability like shadowform did.

However compared to guildwars stealth it is alot better. Shadowstepping in guildwars does not work at all only time it did was using shadow of haste and that is only because of the distance factor way away from what you are fighting.

As long as u have an NCsoft master account u can set up or change an email in that and they will use ur email in that to send you confirmations of what you do. If your accounts are linked you can also change your guildwars password there which will change your guildwars 2 passsword

I do not know if anet wants this known or not if not they can take this message out. If your accounts are linked with your guildwars account this is a way to fix a password change if needed. For example since there are problems with emails and other sites that you may be using the same password on it is impossible to change your pass through the guildwars 2 or even guildwars system now.

There is an alternative now that I found out just recently. If you added your guildwars account to an NCsoft master account you can change your password there. Sometimes it may come up with a mistake so try again. It is also the safest way to change the pass. I tried to change it but somehow got locked out of my accounts until I did the NCsoft idea

Thanks
