Crap, I should have gotten the Quaggan! Dang!

When given a choice, ALWAYS choose Quaggan.

Quaggans=Awesomeness beyond the complexities of the human DNA

I just went to Orr prepared and kitten the orrians are tough in groups!

In other words, I still find it hard as before. For me anyways.

Well, I love both the music of World of Warcraft and Guild Wars 2. World of Warcraft has that epic, nostalgic and catchy themes. Guild Wars 2 on the other hand has that amazing, epic and high-fantasy themes. In other words, both OSTs are really great!

Going back to the topic, OP, there is a big chance for new music in the future. If I know ArenaNet, it’s their development of new things each time an update releases (By update, I mean patches or expansions)

My lord. These comics you made are just awesome!

I hate you guys.

P.S. WvW is still alive and well, even with culling…and even with BP.

Haha, I’ll find you, and turn you to dust (If you go to WvW alot)

I really loved the Battle of Claw Island.

For one thing, the way it was presented! Orrians invading Lions Arch and the only way to halt them for a bit is through Claw Island. In other words, the way this part of the story is presented is just amazing!

Another thing is that I cried at this part (Which is just awesome in my opinion, first time I felt like that in an MMO story!). Reason why is because my favorite mentor died (Sierran to be specific. Rest in Peace mate).

Another thing is that there is an epic scale of fighting in this part of the story. Boats, bombs, undead armies, mortal armies, huge battles, catapults, dark skies and a freaking dragon!! In other words, it’s just plain awesome!

One last thing to add is that the title “Battle of Claw Island” is just awesome! It sounds catchy, memorable and in my opinion, groundbreaking in naming standards.

In conclusion, The Battle of Claw island is one of my favorite parts of the personal story and I’d just like to thank Anet for making an awesome storyline for an MMO!

My god! I can’t wait for the awesome Guild Missions!

I am really, really excited to try them out!

Once I get back on GW2, I’m going to give all the frogs flowers instead of killing them!

Well, to put things simply, yes, it is worth playing again (Always was worth playing since release, for me anyways).

In detail:

• Instances aren’t bugged unlike before (Although I haven’t encountered many bugs in my entire time of playing Guild Wars 2). In other words, instances are fine right now.

• Another thing to add is that there are so many features added in the game while you were gone. One of them is the introduction of the Living Story where players will be experiencing a life-like story-telling experience (The Living story is divided into four different parts starting from January until April). The first story arc of the Living Story is called the Flame and Frost, which focuses mainly on the Norn and Charr refugees, although I have no idea as to who is attacking them or why. In short, the new Living Story feature is top-notch!

• Another feature to add is the new Laurel System, a new currency which allows players to buy gear, and plenty of other things in a more streamlined and friendlier fashion. Laurels can be earned by doing dailies and monthlies (PvE-only though).

• Another one is the new Guild Mission features, where guilds and their members will be pitted in missions that will require them to work together. The rewards are substantial. Also, in one interview with Colin at MMORPG.com, the guild missions will consist of different types of missions. the first one revealed was the Guild Rush, where certain numbers of guild players will do a number of tasks under a time limit to win. In short, guild missions will be a load of fun!

Alright, while I only stated 4 features, there are actually plenty more in terms of balancing in both the PvE and PvP sides and also aesthetics.

In conclusion, and what I am trying to say is that Guild Wars 2 is really fun, with plenty of new things added monthly. And to answer your last question one more time, yes, it is really worth playing again. And if you still feel dissapointed with the game, then alright.

Happy Valentines day dude!

Are you a little late to the party, so to speak? There was a giant thread about this posted a week ago it actually might still be on the front page somewhere. Prepare to get this merged !

Do a forum search friend!

Haha, I guess I am very late. It was I think a week or two since I went on the GW2 forums and when I heard of the new update. I just had to post it. Oh well, gonna get ready for some merging!

I would like to help! Although I will do it free of charge. So if you want, you can always send me a message in the Guild Wars 2 Forums

Only problem is that my break time will be in a few weeks.

So guys, in regards to the upcoming patch this February (Not sure if it’s 26, 27 or 28), I hear it includes lots of cool features like:

• A new PvP map called the Spirit Watch (Which includes things like the spirits and orbs). ArenaNet also added a Two Team Rated Play which I believe will keep things in SPvP more interesting and intense.

• Another cool feature is the Guild Missions. Personally, I am very excited to see how this feature goes and hopefully, this will bring in more players to the game and bring back the old ones. Plus, I would love to work as a guild in completing stuff.

• The next feature is the ability to choose daily achievements. I think this is a really great feature so that we won’t have to be forced to do the same rotation of dailies per week.

• Finally, they will also add another chapter to the Living story (I think this is the part where everything will escalate)

Anyways, I just listed down the features this new monthly update will bring (The monthly update being part of a big 4-part update, for those who do not know).

So, what’s your input on this guys? Happy? Excited? Or what?

P.S. I am not sure if this topic was already discussed but just in case, it will be merged with the main one anyways.

I haz it. My significant other decided to order me a copy, so when I saw the package from Direct Song, I couldn’t stop giggling like a little girl.

Well aside the fact that it makes me cry sometimes, I can’t really put to words how much I like it. I also love that GW music was reused, I’m a nostalgic person.

That is just awesome!

And yea, they reused the GW music (Which is a good thing imo) because it helps retain the GW feel (While I haven’t played the first Guild Wars, I can tell it’s a really great game through it’s music, but that’s just me)

Anyways, the music here is just amazing

The title says it all. I love the OSTs of Guild Wars 2. they just sound so epic, mesmerizing and beautiful! Great job Jeremy!

That’s pretty much everything to what I think of the music of GW2.

What do you guys think?

P.S. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G9Yr3pRIhc&list=FLFbwNxflv5DE2ba3gXlqsHg&index=8 (Music of GW2)

Oh man. I just miss Sierran, that loving, cheerful and gleeful sylvari.

Made me cry when she sacrificed herself. kitten ORRIANS!!!

Rest in peace Sierran!

OP, I agree with you! While I don’t really see GW2 as ruining other MMOs like WoW-which I played for 2 or 3 years straight. The reason why is because I had a lot of good memories in this MMO-add that with music and the funny moments.

While I had good memories with other MMOs in the market, Guild Wars 2 gave me a new, refreshing and epic experience. To sum it all up, Guild Wars 2 gave me a beautiful and engaging world full of story and life compared to other MMOs.

So I’d like to thank ArenaNet for making such a beautiful game!

Cheers!

Releasing the continent of Cantha would be great! And yes, I think Anet will releases asian-styled content, but in the future

Well, there was this one time where I went around Blazeridge steps for hearts when I saw my party mate looking for aid (Since he was dead). I charged through a few Branded and tried reviving my party mate. That was until loads and loads of them came. I literally fought off 100 before I could revive my party mate. It was pretty hectic fighting hundreds of those guys. In other words, I felt like a kitten!

Anyways, after reviving him, me and my mate went to finish the event nearby (Which involves fixing some gates) and dang, I have to tell you guys, we killed hundreds!

And that is just one out of many memorable moments I have in this game. Long story short, others are funny, others are epic and others are really touching.

:D

This is pretty kitten interesting. I’ll go try finding a few artworks and I’ll post them soon

Mother of god……that is one kitten and epic rig!

Hey guys.

I was kind of bored so I listened to the song of ME2 called Suicide Mission (Which btw inspired my to name a few of my characters) so, I made an advertisement based on the ME2 advertisement.

What do you guys think?

:D

Aisa.2817:

It’s possible to do now. There are plenty of great examples too.

If you’re looking for examples that aren’t music videos:

And the series I’m working on is story based like the one above. A bit different humor though. lol Link in siggy if you want to check that one out. My site has a little section on how we did it too if you want to check that out. Direct link to creation section:

http://epicstory.herobo.com/site/creation.php

If you’re wanting tips on camera angles and such… Well, just play with the camera. You can make your character “disappear” by backing them against a wall or tree, then zooming in all the way. You can slightly alter the camera left or right too. The free camera option is pretty good to attempt action scenes with; just make sure to turn it off before actually playing the game again. With cropping and zooming on video editors, it’s possible to get what you want easily enough. My husband and I haven’t been all that creative on camera angles and such yet, so our videos aren’t very good for that right now. But the music videos I linked have some great examples.

And I will stop rambling now. lol I hope at least some of this helps.

Oooh, good luck on making the series! Once you’re done, be sure to post it here so we can all see it

I agree with the OP, compared to all the MMORPGs I played, GW2 is the one that completely stands out in terms of almost everything! (But that’s just in my opinion). While the game has faults, flaws and bugs, I believe in ArenaNet to improve on them in the future!

Can’t wait to check out Orr!

Jski.6180:

Sounds like your the type whom always disappointed. Before nitpicking every small thing that you find wrong with this game ask your self what you find right and look at other things in your life and see how much you nitpick them and ask your self what do you like in your life. I think you will find that your mind set will only let you see the bad.

Wow. That’s an excellent way of putting the OP’s psych. I really agree with what you said.

gillius.2856:

I agree, loving the patch altho i only had 1 complaint i was up all night playing..!!

Thanks guys

Dang, I wish I had the time to play all night…. School just keeps keeping me from playing Gw2…

OP, as much as I respect your opinion, I am entitled to say I “really, really” disagree on your post. First of all, the dynamic events is already an innovation in terms of MMO questing, I mean, rarely do you see this type of feature in other MMOs (But correct me if I am wrong). Another thing is that the balance patches are doing what it’s supposed to do, it may not work wholeheartedly but it’s trying to “balance” everything out, and that includes the PvP and dungeons. That’s pretty much everything I want to say.

P.S. If you don’t like the game, then leave.

This patch is the best one so far. New features (Especially the laurel system, really awesome and also a new achievement tracker) and a new storyline. I’d like to thank ArenaNet for making such an epic game!

I hope there will be in the near future. It would be awesome to have machinima films about GW2

One question, are there any websites out there that provide comics for GW2? Would love to see at least one.

Dang it, I still don’t have the update yet. If I already have it, I can’t wait to start working on Laurels for “da epic lewt”

Nah. This game is far from dead. I keep seeing and playing with people each day in the weekend in Queensdale and other starting zones. Also, I’ve been seeing alot of activity in LA. So yes, the game is far from being dead.

Jezath.7395:

hehe, yes it probably should be, but its more a general idea and discussion about these various things rather than an actual suggestion. I wanted to see how people felt about the idea. I actually obtained it from an old mmo i used to play called ashrons call

Not a bad idea if you tell me. Minus the scroll thingy

pdboddy.4162:

Blacklight.2871:

I’ve done plenty of praising. Seeing the same bugs and broken events in the game, four months after release, demands criticism now.

Perhaps, but the game still gets way more things right than wrong.

Here’s to that! Cheers!

LadyRosco.3942:

Agreed. I’d kill for new town clothes. I don’t understand why we’re stuck with one crap outfit when they already have a lot of possible town clothes options in game. The stuff in the gem store doesn’t float my boat, either. I don’t want to look like a kittenty pirate or a line cook while I’m running around town.

I doubt we’ll get either in this release, but hopefully sometime in the near future.

ETA: kittenty is a bad word, eh? Well fine, I don’t want to look like a lady pirate with loose morals. :p

They might update the Gem Store in the future with tons and tons of customization. And yea, I agree that we are stuck with the same dang clothing (Town)

I agree with OP! props to Anet for making a fantastic game!

This may be a bit late (Okay, really late) to say this since it’s already 2013 but congratulations ArenaNet for making one of the best games of 2012.

Anyways, going back to the topic, I was just wondering how many awards and accolades did GW2 get. I counted them all ranging from different websites and all that (Yes, that includes the unofficial/amateur ones) and I counted 30+ so far.

P.S. ArenaNet updated the Awards and Accolades page so you won’t be able to see the old ones.

So anyways, how many do you think did Anet get?

Sinsko.9342:

Cowrex.9564:

Alright, so as far as the title points out, why is there no “sitting” action in GW2? Don’t get me wrong, GW2 is a fantastic and amazing game, but I was a bit disappointed at the fact that we can’t sit on chairs or stools. Imo, it would have made the drinking experiences in bars of towns of GW2 more innovative and immersible.

That’s just what i think though…

How about you guys? Any thoughts in it?

GW2 does have a large community of those who RP and obviously, with all the cosmetic gear, people who really value the look of their characters.
I was really surprised when they didn’t have chairs to actually sit in when the game went live.

I think in order for this to be accomplished, all the stationary objects (chairs, barstools, etc) would have to be converted to interactive object… which could be quite the task.

As much as I love these little touches in a game (and think they are a must-have in an MMO), I don’t know how likely it is we’ll see something like this anytime soon

I sure hope that Anet will change the static objects to interactive ones soon

Haha, the devs really need to update this /sitting thing then

Is there any GW2 app for iOS or android that tracks the guild activities, character profile and such? Would be very useful when I am outside and I want to check on my guild.

Celtic Lady.3729:

Agreed. Having a way to sit properly in a chair would be very cool.

Drinking beer and getting drunk with friends while sitting would add more epicness and immersiveness to what GW2 already has

showatt.9413:

look at them turkeys… huddling together in a dark cold cave…

someone tell them chrismas is over and they can all come out for another 11 month.

Lol, epic comment

Yumiko Ishida.3769:

We have /sit, but this is not the /sit your looking for. Move along! -“Not the droids…” Star Wars quote repurposed for GW 2.

We need a non side sitting for girls and not guys with their knees up.

Hopefully Anet will change those in future patches/updates.

Is this some turkey worshiping shrine? Dang….

BioFringe.7945:

No…sorry. The HQ is server bound and there are no Guild Transfers at this time or any planned for the future that I’m aware of (not saying that it won’t happen, just that I don’t know about it).

I sure hope that Anet will include one though for future use. If not, well, adapting is one of humanity’s greatest strength!

For all we know, the Vigil must be playing a prank on whoever is prying on their “secrets”. Haha

Kidding aside, I hope those things foreshadow future content and updates

BCPrhys.7230:

BioFringe.7945:

Guilds exist cross-server, meaning that if you move to a different server your guild will exist on the original and the new server together. However, all of the influence, upgrades, and banked items/gold that were earned on the original server will remain there while the new server will need to start from scratch. Think of it as the original server is your HQ and each additional server is a separate office.

Thank you for that clarification. This point I understand. Continuing with your terminology, what I am asking is… Is it possible to move the HQ in order to retain all accomplishments already gained?

I don’t think it’s possible to move the HQ in any way but you won’t have to worry about that, the guild and everything with it will still be intact even if all the members are in other servers.

We’ll see once the patch comes on, most of our doubts and worries will be answered soon I just wonder when is the exact release of the patch…
