Guild Wars 2

tom.7468:

But you know what the difference was?
The cash shop in gw1 didnt give you any advantage over other players.
All those costumes was for towns only the armor people had to work for.

Just to point out. My various characters ran around with several costumes at all times in PVE zones and the dungeons in GW1. Yes i worked for the armor, but you know what? i did that in GW2 as well. (Should not be able to wear outfits in PVP just like in GW1.)

Better yet…

“Right Click” >- “Open All” Would open an entire stack of things into your inventory, and it would use the same UI as picking up something when your inventory gets full because that is going to happen.

Im buying it when i get the chance. I have a characters whose themed around Balthazaar already and this is perfect for her! (IMO i find all the rest of the flame armor to be ugly, and not even what a wargod would use..) Whats funny though, this will be the first character i have who wont be mixing and matching.

its a conspiracy. (sorry, i had to)

Well..i have to be the weird one..i personally enjoyed the story, and LS2, not living story 1 to much though…

Blude.6812:

1/2 broke is still broke. But it is still 100% broken for me.

Very much so, and im not saying it isnt broke.

CAN Anybody poke me in game, im trying to stream this to twitch, but it doesnt seem to be working and i need help making sure its actually recording what im doing…

EDIT: So its pretty laggy(my fault have no idea what im doing) but here you go! http://www.twitch.tv/miamora_cadenza/b/647236134

Serromus Jakta.3987:

No, it is still broken and bugged. Dante, i don’t know what “Testing” are you talking about, i tested it and the pet still attacks on “avoid combat”.

As i said, trying to get a recording of what im talking about right now. it is still semi broken(At least for me) but my pet will avoid combat now if i toggle avoid combat when im in combat. As soon as i got out of combat, and re enter it however, i have to turn it back on.

Gizeii.3781:

I mean that this scheme

doesn’t work.
My fluffy Piece of Sh. still running into fight. And i still have to spam “return”.

Oh, its working for me. So…

It’s still as broken as it ever was based on my testing. Nothing’s changed.

Here’s what they did since the last bug patch on April 2nd per the notes:
•Fixed a client crash related to language selection.

Apparently, spring break is still going on while the rangers are left out in the cold. -.-

my testing shows otherwise, and im trying to get a video capture thing working so i can show what im talking about… hopefully soon.

Gizeii.3781:

Gizeii.3781:

no, still as sh`tty as it was

Oh its still broken now doubt, but i dont have to spam “Return to me” anymore. its still crap though.

Well, it appears to be fixed…partially at least…Now i just have to toggle him in and out of “Avoid combat” and “Guard” to get him to stop..

Harper.4173:

I don’t care about rude.
You said it yourself – ranger pets are broken – so why would I want a party member in my party that isn’t at 100% because he can’t be at 100% because of how his class works.
It’s not even about player skill according to what you say. So sorry if you perceive it as rude – I feel it’s common sense. I wouldn’t expect anyone to give me a chance if my class was broken.

I consider it rude going in a party with people and attempting content knowing your class is broken. Why not switch? Why not level up an alternative?

You see – the “this is rude” discussion is a big one – anything can be considered rude in an MMO.

Let’s not bring rude into it.
Kicking is simple. I initiate a vote – if the other people agree and they vote you out – you’re out.

Because good rangers like myself, know they need to spam “come back to me” when doing dungeon runs. Not that hard, takes a bit of clicking though and a fix cant happen soon enough. The only rangers you really have to worry about are the ones who are almost like bots which i will freely admit, do plague this game. Im just saying, give someone a chance before you judge everyone of that class. If they screw up horribly, kick them! If they are clearly running a bad combo, kick them!

I dont know if you ignored it in my last post , but if i join a group that says “P1” then i have every right to be there, regardless of class. If i join a group that says “P1 Experienced” i have every right to be there regardless of class. NOW if i join a group that says “P1 experienced, No rangers” (Which i wouldnt when playing my ranger) thats my problem for being there in the first place.

As for not switching? i have two mains, a mesmer, and a ranger. I enjoy the ranger more than any other class in the game. I dont want to play my other characters if im not in the mood, and i for sure dont want to be forced to play my other characters to do any content(Which is IMO what this thread is about. By adding this tool you will be forcing players to play certain classes to do PVE dungeons, something easily done by any class in the game.). I have 12 of them too. 8 level 80s(Guardian, 2 mesmers, 2 rangers, Warrior, Ele, Necromancer, Thief). All fully kitted out in ascended, exotics, a legendary what have you. A level 20 Ele, a level 20 Engineer, and a level 2 Guardian.(Which also stops me from leveling an alt. as i cannot make the swaps for the final cutscenes, due to horrible internet.)

There is a problem with that kicking bit though. i know i do it, and im sure others do, they hit that little check mark just to get the bloody thing off their screen. ive kicked people who i didnt think should be kicked just because of that(I hate screen clutter, it drives me mad already, rude of me? yes.) . Really though, allow us to vote yes, or no, as right now we can only vote yes(Horrible design decision imo) but thats for another thread entirely.

TLDR:
The good thing is, i dont have to join your partys, i can make my own and i do so quite often(And they take forever to fill even for the most common paths because im posting as a ranger), but if a tool gets added to block classes, and players see that rangers and necros(as examples as they do get kicked the most already) arent wanted, then they wont want to join groups hosted by those two classes, and slowly people will stop playing them.

Its truly sad, but they wouldn’t be doing it still if players didn’t fall for it. How they do i don’t know. It does clearly say that its sent by another player and not by any ANET team so…. but just like in real life people do fall for it…

Blude.6812:

Darn. I wonder if the fix is being tested response was there just to placate and it is a much bigger issue than can be handled in a reasonable amount of time.

Im starting to believe that that is indeed the case. I know how complicated game coding can get.. Fixing something here might break something there etc. So they may be working on a fix, but it did indeed break something else. shrugs hopefully soon

Yay! thank goodness!!!!

Gizeii.3781:

so?

Nope, still not fixed.

I dont know if this has been posted about before, i looked but didnt see anything in the first 2 pages. Figured i might as well make a post about it, but theres a bug with the UI, the names of some of the stats on the UI are turned into numbers now!

Harper.4173:

3.Certain classes get bad rep because of the people these classes attract. The vast majority of rangers I’ve met in this game in PUGS can’t even control their pets – this is why I have a kick on sight plicy for rangers in PUG groups.

At the moment ranger pets are broken and dont listen to commands given. I was kicked from 5 groups so far over the course of 2 days for simply playing a ranger. Thats not and never will be acceptable. Im sorry you dont like us, but kicking us on sight and not even giving someone the chance, is rude as hell.

if you put in a pug description, “no rangers”, thats different. by all means kick them if they join, because people should be able to read. But if i join a pug group that simply says “P1 Experienced” Or “P1” I expect not to get kicked simply because of the class i play.

That is what is happening. Its old, its rude. It needs to go away. Any class can do anything in this game, some can do it better yes that is true. And if you allowed classes to be limited you would not see necros or rangers allowed in most dungeon groups.

If you want speed runs, fine put up for speed runs and put Warriors only, or whatever. But if such a thing gets added you will find more and more groups not allowing certain classes(Mainly necro and ranger) because..reasons? casual pug groups do not need such a thing. ANET wants all the classes to be able to do all the content equally, at least it has been such in the past, when it comes to PVE. This would go against their vision for their game.

1 legendary type minus under water ones.

Totally going with planes. Instead of Snakes on a Plane, we could have Dragons on a Plane. SCIFI make it happen!!!!

JDilla.3150:

Ok, first they said it was a bug, then they said that it was “temporarily removed” because it didn’t fit the mood in certain cutscenes in the Living Story. Hmm…

Yet… i can use tonics in those same cutscenes.. Soooooooooo Yeaaaaaa…..

Happens on Charr too, but i think this has been posted before~

Ashen.2907:

Oh, OK. Reasonable point. I still do believe that this sort of situation is what friends lists and a guild are for. My experience of the DP in GW1 was generally positive, but I can see how it might be bothersome to others.

Yup! Really all comes down to a players experience, mine wasnt to bad, i hated the DP but i always have hated DPs. But i tried harder than most and bugged the crap out of my guild leader to let me into a group xD

Ashen.2907:

Dante.1763:

Almost every single new player to mmos ive ever talked to is afraid to try new content when the game has systems set up to punish them. In GW1, doing dungeon runs on hardmode, it was hard as hell to find a group if you where new to the game. i was glad my guild was willing to help the new players we picked up, as more than one was getting frustrated(and ready to leave) from trying the dungeons.

I am not sure that it is inappropriate for someone who is new to a game to have difficulty finding a group for hardmode play without a guild.

Okay, maybe i should have expanded on that part of it some more. No its not inappropriate for a new player to find groups for hardmode play with out a guild(that is rather normal and how it should be, you are new to the game, shouldnt be doing the hardest content right away anyways).

I meant, “New to hardmode, players” Nobody wanted to let players into their groups no matter how experienced they where unless they had experience in hard mode. Sheesh i heard the same thing when i was applying at entry level jobs… “What experience do you have?” Mentality.

Thats what i was trying to get at, and i failed at miserably! Sorry!

Another thing i thought of, i had so many partys fall apart in GW1 because of the DP thing. once it would get to 60%…just no, everyone would leave or suddenly have stuff to do….

IEximius.9204:

Mirta.5029:

phys.7689:

ehhh, having a reason not to die, is not a bad mechanic.

old players won’t die as it is. New players will be too afraid to try content as they’re not welcome as it is.

Afraid? Stressed? Who the kitten EVER FEELS THIS WAY PLAYING AN MMO?

How about learn to adapt to game mechanics and better themselves? “Oh man this is tough let me practice more” “oh man I need to get better gear”

Progression.

This is the age old mentality that will never change gw2 for the better, it will remain casual and stale forever.

Almost every single new player to mmos ive ever talked to is afraid to try new content when the game has systems set up to punish them. In GW1, doing dungeon runs on hardmode, it was hard as hell to find a group if you where new to the game. i was glad my guild was willing to help the new players we picked up, as more than one was getting frustrated(and ready to leave) from trying the dungeons.

Death penalties are nothing but a frustration, and i hardly ever die. Then again, ive been playing for 3 years, know the game, know the mechanics, know how to do everything. But you know what? back when i first started i avoided dungeons, i avoided anything that required a group, why? because so many people dont want to let you learn. They would rather kick a new player than allow them to learn the encounters. I See this in dungeons all the time, even the ones that dont have any special requests for people joining groups. its annoying as hell when you get a group, one of them doesnt know the encounter, and then the rest of the group kicks them.

Just because you dont feel that way, doesnt mean people dont. This game is marketed toward the casual player. Hell even back when the game was first announced one of the bigger points they brought up was not punishing players for dying. Why do you think they removed armor repair costs. So yea, i dont think this idea will happen at all, as it goes against what they want.

OP if you want to do AC story mode, poke me in game, i need the story done on my RP character anyways for RP reasons!

Eh…i make up my own names, and well ive never had one claimed before…

Yay! lets make it so nobody will let rangers into dungeon groups anymore!

id pay up to 60$ and if they have a collectors edition i will be getting it!

KazualGamer.1294:

Bump, thanks to do your job

All you are going to do is get this thread locked. Believe me, they know its glitched and not working.

Contact support, see if you can get it restored. I did it for the non upgraded version of Mad kings memories. I deleted the character it was shortly before the wardrobe system got added, and since it was soulbound… but they did restore it.

No thank you. I rather like what ANET did to the dwarven lore and if they retconned it then it would make the story of GW1 pointless. So yea, the dwarves can stay stone, and unplayable, i really wont mind. However, i do hope to see them return in the game, when we get to primordius, not as a playable race, but much like the skritt, grawl, orgres etc. They are no longer a major race in this game, so many of them died and they have dwindled probably more than the humans have.

Behellagh.1468:

In every case I’ve tried it was including teams I tried to form and then been kicked by those who joined even though I listed no meta required. I find selling of paths to be an offshoot of this. Otherwise if the forming of PUGs weren’t so hostile why would there be a viable business in selling assistance?

And it’s not off topic if players who sell paths are hitting the cap. My point is the devs may see this cap for RMT affecting path sellers and TP tax avoiders as a happy coincidence sad unfortunate side effect.

Well…ive had the exact opposite, i create pug groups all the time, running non lvl 80s, and have only been kicked once..out of enough dungeon runs to finish collecting all the AC armor and weapons, mot of the COF armor and weapons, and quite a bit of the TA armor and weapons.

Dungeon Selling isnt done to offer assistance though, its done to get people the harder paths in the game. Any of the Arah paths ive seen being sold for gold. Ive never seen people selling AC, COF, TA(Maybe the Aether path), HOTW, CM, SE or CE.

While my Sylvari looks evil, she isnt owned by Mordremoth!!!

Donari.5237:

I agree it’s a problem, but it’s one more general to the PS tracker. That green star is in fact near an exit from the map. However, that is not your path to “Tracking the Master.” That is just your nearest path out of the city that will take you in the general direction of the LS.

Zoom out the map much further to find the LS step location, you will see that your next step is in Dry Top. If you waypoint into the zone (or walk in from Brisban), you will get more accurate guidance.

Actually, thats not even an exit to the map(it should be really). That is the remanent for the Halloween event, and there is a bug that is sending people there with the tracker, ive seen threads like this pop up a few times over the last few weeks…since the 16th patch.

It should be the exit to the black citadel as the path that leads from there lines up with the path that leads to Diessa Plateau…instead of going out a huge gate..that vanishes into thin air? really though, you cant even see the giant gate you go through in Diessa Plateau and it put you just on the outside of the tiny path. (that thing the Charr are standing next to is just a elevator down to the gun testing range that is testing the Ghostbore cannons your character invents as an Iron Legion)

Behellagh.1468:

Except most dungeon LFG require strict meta to participate. Even if they say they don’t.

It only takes a few pay and then be kicked to sour players on the whole selling of paths.

Not even close to being true. but this off topic for this thread.

Draknar.5748:

OP, just from the way you are speaking to people in the forums, there’s no doubt in my mind you were being a complete tool about it. I probably would have voted to kick you too.

For reals, a fotm20 and you call people noobs for not stacking. You don’t need to stack on a fotm20. Maybe the other 4 people realized this and decided to have some fun. Because stacking, while effective, is not fun in the slightest.

Pretty much this is my opinion too

SlayerSixx.5763:

What’s everyone’s problem? The airplane thing was fine, jeez. It was done in good humour and, in my opinion, it was good.

Honestly? i enjoyed for a good 5-10 minutes, before i got bored and wanted to turn it off…but i couldnt. Unlike most though, i exited and went and did other things. I did come back later and enjoyed it again, for a good 5-10 minutes before exiting it again.

they dont help…they need to be redone entirely. When you have an AI like magg who sits there, even when you are the only one in the dungeon, and then takes forever to start walking..or you have AIs like hodgins that attack everything.. yea id say they need to be redone..

Broken here too. Same thing, nothing fixes it

Thank goodness you had to change it.

Ponzu.4570:

Lol this bug hasn’t been fixed?

I dont think its considered a bug now, i think its considered a feature… /sarcasm

Sodeni.6041:

Thanks guys for your feedback! My mind is clearer now although I think this sentence is not 100% sure what it means exactly. Maybe the devs wanted to give us something to speculate

However, I’d like to see Trahearne corrupted by Mordremoth because that would be very surprising and maybe we will fight him one day, it’s very unlikely as you proved me though because he has the strong protection of the mothertree for being a firstborn. But I think Mordremoth could now be much stronger than the mothertree. Even just a champion of him damaged the mothertree so that she “passed out” let alone what he himself could do to the mothertree and whole tyria…

It actually wouldnt be surprising…almost everyone in game ive talked to things hes going to be corrupted…it would be more of a surprise to people if he wasnt corrupted…

Probably, i see no reason why it shouldnt! after all, even the gemstore armor clips with charr!

Sarcasm off. I hope it wont clip, but i highly doubt it will do anything but

Im just gonna leave this here…i prefer the GW2 charr stance much more over the first one. its much more natural for an animal like beast race to walk like that when they walk on all 4s…

Now, i have no problems with a toggle…but you have to think..

They would have to make another entire race worth of armor. Why do i say that? because they have to refit all the armor onto the GW1 charr bodies(Even if they just copy paste. they have to rescale all the existing stuff), and that id say is the big killer.

This game…out of all the games i have played..has the only music i bother keeping on….not even in MMOS, out of all my games! Skyrim and GW2 are the only ones i play with the music on!

Asumir.1978:

Clipping…This means clash of pixels, am I correct? Then have race-specific armour only for them?

You are correct about the clash of pixels, as to that second part see below

Absolutely not. in a game that is practically all about aesthetics as the end game this would kill any want to play them by the vast majority of players. I mean look at the Charr, they are played by just about 14% of the community, lower than any other race(Except for the Asura(and they have a fair amount of clipping issues as well), and a fair bit of players have said that if they didnt have the clipping issues they would roll a Charr!

The few hardcore “i will have one of everything” Players would play them, and anybody who wants them as a player race will play them. Of course, quite a few people will roll one they day of release, but just like with the asura and the charr, many many more will delete them shortly after because of all the issues they bring with appearances!

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

No…read all of the OP. =)

Ooooo sneaky! missed that last sentence! xD

To be honest, the next likely playable race(IF There are any) Will be the tengu. They have as much lore as all the current races that are playable, they are fully animated! heck they used to be playable way back in the very early days of this games creation(Rumors no idea if this is true or not). They have a city zone thats big enough to also incorporate their starting zone(if they need one, and they can go off to celadon forest if not).

I highly doubt we will see the largos ever playable though. From what we have seen so far, they are solitary hunters, and assassins. While they are very very cool looking, i dont think they will be as neat as people think once you start trying to put different armor on them. It would clip with their wings, back items would clip horribly too. People complain about charr clipping enough already. They just dont have all that much lore to go with them. They are almost like a minor race, like the skritt, Hylek, Grawl, Ogres, and Quaggon, races that ANET has confirmed wont be playable(would find the link if i could)

Hepatolith.6389:

I’ll go to bed now, but if you catch me online just whisper me or write a mail and i’ll gladly make a few duels with you =)
