Honestly, a fine example of kitten if you do, kitten if you don’t.
They’ve stated it’s bigger than any of the current regions, the ones with multiple zones. They aren’t giving us a pocket zones like Dry Top or Silverwastes.
In fairness to the people who want to pay in gold, Anet gets just as much real $. It just comes from people buying gems and turning it into gold instead of spending it themselves (or buying more than normal and selling surplus)

You already got far more worth than what you paid for, what are you complaining about?
$60-70 AAA game usually has around 60-100 hours, sometimes even less.
You can’t compare Dragon Age: Inquisition to Guild Wars 2 let alone any MMO, different beasts.
You can’t compare them, but you can compare the time value you got from similar amounts of money.

How did charr cause the genocide exactly? They were fighting for their homeland in a brutal but direct fashion, and the humans took the dirty way out, resulting in wiping out their own kingdom.
And yes it is different because the fight with mordremoth wasn’t hours away when he left for an equally heroic quest. Logan practically left at the last possible moment leaving Destiny’s Edge holding the remains of a poor plan with one less player in the fight….
Plus it’s 4+an army without Rytlock
It was just 4 and a small dragon without Logan.
They could abandon that plan and just retreat. Yes I agree there is a difference though. Logan had to leave, Rytlock decided to leave.
1. Searing didn’t cause the ghosts, king adelbern did.
2. If queen jennah saying “save me!” Constitutes being forced to leave, than so does jumping into a hole leading into the mists to save your ancestral homeland. No matter how important jennah may be, Rytlock is saving his race from countless more losses (not to mention potentially other races once the charr can focus entirely on dragons) versus Logan saving a possibly important individual, because of his love interest.
When did I said the searing caused ghosts? I said the searing was a genocide and ghosts are just indirect remnants of what Charr did back then.
Love interest , duty and honor.
Ok… Using that logic you’re saying that the charr attacked the humans (true), and because the humans couldn’t win they (mostly adelbern) blew themselves up… And its still the charr’s fault?
Fine, we’ll take it a step further: The humans (many generations back) “invaded” the charr land, when the charr finally found a way to get their land back they used it. Then gw1 takes place… Then Adelbern blows everything up, etc.. So the humans still indirectly and directly caused the ghosts, which forced Rytlock to jump in the hole to save his people…
I still reserve even with “Love, honor, and duty” he had a choice, and if we disagree there than I would argue Rytlock certainly was not given a choice.
the searing is like nuclear bomb…. Charr lost heir homeland hundreds of years before the searing. It is like if Greece nuked the entire Turkey because much of the Turkey was once part of the Greece. That is something unimaginable but Charr did it.
No as I said above, Logan had no choice. If he refused to help Jennah he would be an oathbreaker and traitor and since he is white paladin stereotype in this game, he had to help her no matter the cost. (Btw: this internal conflict between him as a loayal soldier, member of Destiny’s Edge and in platonic love with Jennah is the only thing interesting on this otherwise boring character).
It would be like Greece and Turkey except they haven’t been fighting over the land for hundreds of years. My understanding is that there was war between charr and humans the entire time, so it wasn’t really a sneak attack so much as a much larger attack than expected.
Ok… And Rytlock’s choice is easy? I mean he pretty much sacrifice’s himself so that his race will fight the dragon. Instead of making a choice between love interest and killing a dragon he gets the option to stand there (watch the only chance of getting some of Tyria’s best warriors to fight the dragons fade away) or jump in the mists to find who knows what which will likely cost him his life…
They actually were fighting until early 19th centruy and they are still in sort of cold war But this is way too off topic. Nobody argue it was a sneak attack… it was genocide
I never say Rytlock’s choice was easy or wrong. I said it was somewhat same as Logan’s choice. He had to choose between 2 wrongs and he did, end of story.
edit: Sir Vincent III lol
Yea… So I was just rereading, and I now realize this long conversation stemmed from my not picking up on your sarcasm in an earlier post
~been a pleasure discussing with you.
Although I believe it was a justified attack, I think we’ll just have to agree to disagree on the ‘genecide’ issue.

Idk, as far as servers go yes you can tell who is going to win miles out. However it’s always cool to see people come out of PvE (even if it is just for rewards).
Maybe a few, but from what I have seen, there are some extremely close matches on regular weeks, much less tournament weeks. If your suggesting you could pick even 50% of the winners, then your just blowing smoke.
I really enjoy the tournaments, and the impression I get from my guild and my friends is that they do to. I really hope we get another one soon.
Not on individual match ups you’re right… But in actual tournaments (especially the way they were last time) was extremely predictable.

They would have an epic duel in who is the most boring stereotype in Tyra
Btw: Logan did nothing wrong. He pledged to serve Jennah and she needed his help. If he refused to go and she died he would be an dishonorable oathbreaker and traitor. Because Jennah is not just some girl he met the other day, she is the queen of Kryta and since he was and still is commander of the Seraph he had no choice.
Btw why wasn’t Rytlock on board of the airship with others when they attacked Mordremoth? Oh he was chasing some ancient sword in the mists because his race need it to mop up the remnants of genocide that they caused in Ascalon. Not selfish at all and totally different from what Logan did…. right?

Yes, but when you need to go finish the achievement there is nothing in pve stopping you that you cannot accomplish alone. In pvp there is the possibility that no matter what you do solo you won’t be getting that point for a month or longer, which actually happened once when the servers in t1 were stagnant and didn’t rotate. Also being online at the right time for some of these things to happen in wvw is much more difficult if you can’t play a lot.
That said as long as servers are rotating colors it is easy if you make sure you hop on and get everything inside structures while your world owns them.
I didn’t say that the 8% was easy, I’m simply stating that the amount of crap PvE’ers ‘have’ to do (compared to what they find enjoyable, or at the least tolerable) is easily out weighed by the amount of crap WvW’ers ‘have’ to do (compared to what they find enjoyable, or at the least tolerable). Especially if the PvE’ers listen, the same advice is given in every thread that pops up on this subject and it’s all fairly sound advice (I personally consider transferring servers for map completion to be a little iffy).
The answer to getting map completion in wvw is easily enough boiled down to “Pay attention, and be on at the right time” which can suck, if you don’t get to play often (I agree)… However the answer to getting map completion in PvE is equally boiled down to “spend, spend, and spend time”
“A conquered people will always resist you,
Edair. But allies-allies will fight by your side”~Cobiah Mariner
Also a full reset completely invalidates all the time, effort, and hard work so many players put into their servers to rise in ranks and strengthen their community’s wvw experience, it would be like spitting in their face and send the message, that none of them or what they do matters.
This is also why the lower ranked servers don’t want to be merged (and thus destroyed) together.
Indeed, I never understand this server merge nonsense. Its bad enough what megaservers did to communities and server identities. Many people enjoy wvw in lower pop tiers thats why they stay there, hard as it may be for some in t1/2 to believe, not everyone wants to run around in a blob and fight another blob or steamroll some helpless guy and laugh about it. Many prefer running and fighting with groups of 5-15. Smaller pop wvw servers also tend to be very tight knit as many people are used to seeing the same players every day so a pretty strong bond can naturally develop and this makes it easier to get to know a smaller group then a giant one.
While I agree with the idea of smaller servers… It really isn’t healthy to have “empty” servers either.
When one of my friends first joined the game he impatiently picked his first server, which at the time happened to be (and I still refer to them affectionately as) the bottom of the barrel ET. He hated WvW because he could go hours without seeing another player and it wasn’t until after he transferred servers that he found out what WvW really was about (btw, not to a T1 server at the time either. I think we were like T4-5). It’s a really scary thought to think of how many other WvW’ers have been scared off by a simple lack of people on those “Bottom” tiers. {Especially because if they don’t know how the megaserver works it looks like WvW is just a ghost town compared to the rest of the game, even on larger servers}

It would be cool if they could justify it, but from what we know it isn’t really the same, mostly for reasons Rose already covered.
Although when we fight jormag it is probably going to have a heavy influence of Sons of Svanir, so it is certainly possible that there be some more racial conflict in the future. It just won’t be all Norn against everyone else…
But to be fair; the salads have always been the bad guys it was no surprise there.
“A conquered people will always resist you,

I’d prefer the removal of WvW from map completion entirely. I imagine it’s a nightmare for people that only play PvE.
Agree with this. Have completion for one character & still play world vs world on a part time basis.
Also understand the idea is to get people into world vs world, yet players with no interest in this format of the game are kittened.
Generally the easiest opportunity is when your server is lucky enough to be on the dominating end of lopsided world vs world rounds.
How do you guys feel about players who wvw exclusively though? Are we not allowed to like shinies? We have to go PvE if we want any shiny weapon, and yet we don’t make forum posts complaining (largely because we realize we’re the minority)about being locked out of dungeon skins, or luminescent skins (specifically referencing things available in Spvp, because Spvp still does not equal wvw).
Yet you’re complaining about 4 maps:
76 Points of Interest
13 Skill points
40 vistas.
25 Waypoints (All given btw)
and yet…
There are 301 hearts (Not included in wvw) 646 Points of interest (722 total- 76 listed above) 189 skill points (202 total- 13 listed above) 226 vista’s (266 total -40 listed above) 482 Waypoints (507 total – 25 listed above)
Total all that up (using totals)= Hearts + POI’s+ SP+ V’s+ WP’s =1998 things need for map completion.
Things need for wvw map completion = Hearts (0) + POI’s (76) + SP (13) +V’s (40) +WP (Functionally 0, but i’ll give you the benefit of the doubt 25)=154
154/1998= roughly 8%
You guys (PvE’ers exclusively) have to play 8% of the game you don’t like to get your legendary (or your achievement, what ever the motivator is). We (WvW’ers exclusively) have to play 92% (more than 11 times as much) of the game that we don’t want to for our legendaries (I don’t know a single WvW’er who actually has the nerve to say “I just wanted the achievement” so…)
And guess what: we do it, we might cuss and moan to our guild mates, but we do it. So, like I said earlier:
SideNote:
If you want legendary but don’t want wvw: Buy the kitten.
If you don’t want legendary but want map completion: Deal with the kitten
If you want map completion but refuse to deal with the kitten: Live without the Kitten.
Cheers!

I always hated the reasoning why Logan was hated. Rytlock was essentially kittened off that Logan chose Hos over Bros and he threatened to kill him over it. How messed up is that? Like no one has done what Logan did before.
You mean sacrifice an opportunity to destroy an Elder Dragon, save Glint and make the world a better place (with 1 less monarchy, so that’s a triple win)? Yeah I’m sure we’ve all done that at one point.
people tend to forget what “1 less monarchy” would mean.
human/charr war would still be ongoing, the corrupt ministry (who, might i remind you, has connections to the white mantle) would take over, and ebonhawke would’ve fallen. if logan hadn’t held the branded off long enough to keep the queen from being overwhelmed, most, if not all, of humanity would have been gone by now.
but yeah, snaff died, how dare that logan.
If I recall corectly , he didn’t exactly do much…. Jennah did most of the heavy lifting.

i worry about as well. i only will wait until 29/08/15. after that i wont play this game any more. its had been 2 and a half years already. if 3 year for 1 expansion that is not acceptable.
lets just talk about NCsoft ’s game:
Aion release 3 expansion in 4 year.
Blade & Soul 2 new class in 2 year.
Darn, must be so rough getting 3 years of decent gaming for a one time payment of $60-120
Oh, and while I personally don’t like the LS method. Don’t just ignore it because it makes your argument sound justified

At least it was Rytlock who got the new class, if I had to ‘learn’ a new class from the coward cough Logan cough I wouldn’t be able to stomach it.

A new race would of been nice but it would be an enormous amount of work. This isn’t like WoW where the armour skins are horrible and are basically low polygon pieces. Even to make the new race fit all the current armour pieces would be such a massive undertaking.
I don’t think people really understand how much work goes into creating new content like a playable race. New zone, New voice acting, New character customisation, refitting armour (and New cultural armour), New living story, New lore, New animations for each class and all their abilities…
Yeah, that’s why we’d pay them to do it…
Yeah, but they chose to listen and to put work on better content. Races add very little replay value even though people equate them to expansions they’re really not that beneficial to a game’s long term success.
Gw1 had one playable race
Lotro: no new races since launch
Two very prominent examples.

It’s not a ritualist, from my understanding the primary difference is that you channel spirits, not summon them. In other words it will be kind of like an ele (attunements) in heavy armor.

Did they even confirm that new Precursors or Legendary Weapons could be sold? I would be very surprised if they allowed this (Account Bound across the board is my guess). I’m not sure Anet thinks allowing the original ones to be TP-able was the best way to make them more available to everyone (I’m not sure they SHOULD be readily accessible to all players, myself).
I would honestly be surprised if they made them account bound, Anet made a fortune selling legendarys at launch… If they make pre’s available only from collections then it’s possible for them not to be account bound, but if they drop from anything else they should be made able to sell.
(Technically anet didn’t sell legendarys, they sold gems which were converted into gold, and then used to purchase the weapon. )

i got to tell you, i didn’t know so many people were expension obbsessed in GW community… so far a LS every two weeks was much more then enough, it was the main reason i bought this game. it saddens me to hear that people perfer an expension just because the name it holds.
don’t get me wrong though. an expension can justify it’s name if it is worth much. but as far as i can see up untill now, HOT dosent seem to bring much for a paid expension. (it will ofcourse be worth it’s price considering the price is fair enough, which none of us can tell at the moment since in the FAQ they say pricing wasn’t determined yet. lets hope Anet, or more precisly NCsoft, is not greedy as other MMO’s developers)
I’m glad that LS was enough for you, but it wasn’t for most people. It would have been enough if it had any replay value at all, but you played it once to unlock the achievements and once to finish them and that’s about it for most people.

Tbh if you’re looking for non-trench coats your options are kind of limited till 80. That’s when you get access to carapace, dungeon gear, and more loot gear. (Although karma gear is also nice (including the wvw skins too))

I’m sorry Gaile but its been a year now for your supposed living world its pretty pathetic that Lions Arch hasn’t been rebuilt yet. And if after 2 years of development on the Expansion you still can’t say if it will be fixed then my assumtion is no it won’t be.
Not really… If lion’s arch was rebuilt we would just move on from S1 and that would be kind of sad to move on and forget all the important things that happened in Tyria the first year of the game.
However it would be nice for the gradual improvements discussed many times before. Personally, my favorite idea was doing a series of events in LA where players help rebuild LA.

Historic Landmarks and Relics Collection: Unlocks Revenant
- Mystic Spoon
- Rytlock’s eyeballs
- Here Died Woz
- Charrted Mist Map
Woah, the back-lash from having to unlock it after (in all likely-hood) paying for that extra content. That would be a really bad move!
The same community that has had 40 living story releases for nothing with no monthly fee? The expansion is massive if we go by what has been mentioned. I don’t think sticking to lore and having to ‘discover’ the secrets of the mists is to much of a stretch for an account bound unlock.
The fact that it wasn’t even hinted at in the announcement would certainly kitten a lot of people off. You have to buy the extra content only to have to earn the new profession with no new race on top of that?!? Lol, baaaad idea!
To be fair, they haven’t confirmed any method to get the new class. Speculation is just that. Blah blah entitlement blah blah.
Oh and tomes will work as poster above says. Why wouldn’t they?
I made no speculation on it either way. Just pointed out that it would kitten many people off. Also it’s not entitlement to expect something you pay for. Entitlement would be if people expected it all to fall into their laps without either monetary or time expense.
Yep, especially if they didn’t tell people about the unlock until after the pre purchase… Come to think of it, the forums would be fun for a while…

If they did make this change I simply wouldn’t play the new class till it was changed for scrolls to work. I don’t mind having a new class to level , but if that’s how my other toons leveled then it should be available to any new toons to.

Manifesto is dead. And good riddance.
Random isn’t fun for people that only get to play for a few minutes, plus those boss fights would be empty if they were random especially during non-primetime hours.

This pretty much: and crafting was viable from level one at launch. So whether you use tomes or crafting, seeing level 80 revenants on launch day will be a reality.

It will be really jarring if they just plonk the Revenant into the existing personal story.
My personal hope is that they create a new personal story/modify the existing one specifically for the revenant. Change the characters from DE out of the beginning and have the order dialogue focus on Mordremoth rather than Zhaitan for the rest
Personal story is tied with race not class, you will get the same story as you would get from the race you choose.
It is now, but no reason it has to be.

Yea this would be nice, but the only (sort of) problem with is that it doesn’t necessarily generate the same $ for anet since people can buy them with gems.
(For every gem purchase with gold there is $ backing it up, but not necessarily recently generated.)

Which would be basically nothing because kills hardly give any exp anyway.
If they dont double the exp from events, hearts, exploration, gathering, crafting, etc its going to be worthless.
Kills add up. They really do.
Let’s so you do an event and get XP from the event. But during the event you kill 20 or 25 creatures. All those creatures add up. They make the event that much stronger. XP boosters make leveling faster and they only work on kills, so I’m not sure why you think it would be worthless.
You will level faster.
Edit: Not to mention if you kill stuff with a high bonus, which I often do while leveling, it’s quite easy to get experience fast.
That would be disappointing considering that none of the high level events give xp on kills anymore. I’d rather they just turn off DR on events for the weekend to be honest, that way I can play in SW for more than 20 minutes without getting hit with it.
1. Everything at launch gives xp (orr) so it really means leave SW.
2. Unless you’re everywhere on the map at once you’re not getting hit with DR within several hours let alone in 20 minutes.

Probably not, it’s entirely possible, but more likely it’s like a 100% boost like celebration and birthday boosters (neither of which works on crafting)

if you guys played diablo 2 necro summon build, you will know what i am talking about. its like an army so powerful. even gw1 necro can do the same job as well
We know what you’re talking about… We’re just telling you it exists already, it just isn’t meta because it isn’t good.

The same sort of recipe for armor as there is with legendary weapons would be ok-ish with me, but with a few small tweaks. Something would have to be done about gifts of exploration. Only being able to get 2 on a character, but needing 6 for for a full set would be an issue. I’m sure there are easy ways around this though.
Also, instead of traditional precursors, maybe it should just require a piece of the appropriate Ascended level gear, maybe even with Celestial stats.
personally : if they want to make the gear hard to get without adding precursors I’d say you need a gift of ascended chest piece, in order to get that gift you throw 4 (random or otherwise) ascended chest pieces (probably from the same weight class). Then use that as a precursor, although I hadn’t thought about the gift of exploration, that’s a good point.

I just wonder how community will go if they announce some thing really lame at PAX. Can not imagine the rage.
How would it be any different from “the usual rage”?
I mean this is the cycle of GW2, people go super-hype-zomg-cantha-confirmed every time anything happens to GW2. A patch, a livestream, an expo, a change to the gamefiles, a new NPC, doesn’t matter. Confirms Cantha, guild houses, new WvW maps, new PvE maps (65-100 of them), 2 new classes, 35 new specs, 155 new abilities per class, ~600 new traits, period.
Then they rage like mad when surprise, it was… a new NPC.
You’re right, but this isn’t a new NPC. Its PAX, and center stage of PAX (I think) at that. If this goes sour people that don’t normally care are going to care.
As for OP: I started getting really excited about legendary armor… Then I remembered it’s Anet, and that a more realistic view is much better. I’m excited to read the forums, good or bad the news will make the forums more interesting at least for a little while.

Personally I like the idea of legendary armor a lot, and think it should be a serious goal that would make luminescent look like finishing your personal story (I.e. something most of us have done). However I don’t know that it would be worth the effort if the runes weren’t changeable. I was thinking of a way to do that without hurting the sigil/rune market and I would think an unlock system kind of like the ranger pets.
If you have kudzu (I would think sigils and runes could be changed at the same time) and you ‘consume’ a sigil of force (probably consume by equipping but preferably with an option of putting in like a collection tab so you could switch to it later if you wanted too). Now it’s unlocked on kudzu, but you would need another sigil for the dreamer. It would work the same way for runes, if you have 6 legendary armor pieces you need 6 runes.

Hmm, let’s see. Branded humans, branded charr, rissen asuran and sons of svanir. So, you guys are just jealous that your races can be corrupted by dragons and ours can’t?
Technically we don’t know that you can’t be branded, I don’t believe there were any sylvari in kralk’s way. You can’t be risen… Well how about we get a few salads to die and test that out… Yea the norn are special I’ll give them that….
(Asura for life!)

But this is way too off topic. Nobody argue it was a sneak attack… it was genocide
