Guild Wars 2

Do you really need a ton of blood & guts to get your kick out of this game?

I’m not sure if I should applaud or be concerned about your hoarding skills

jayson.6512:

new dynamic events every month too

Yes for that

jayson.6512:

decrease the activation timer too.

No for that.

Events spawn way too much as it is. Go to Queensdale and count the amount of times troll/wasp/boar/oak are announced in map chat within an hour.

We need variety, not repetition

You don’t spell PvP with an “E”

kankon.9251:

its not about proof or how many !!

It’s exactly about that. A lot of work would need to go into the translations and I assume they would need to hire people that are proficient in Arabic to do the translations. All amounts to more money being used. If the target market is not large enough, the amount of money they make from the few extra sales will not be worth the effort of the translations.

RoyalPredator.9163:

And if you want a race change but people saying its impossible:
It is very possible. Why should it bother our story line at all?
Would be new unique experience. And then? Nothing wrong with it.

It’s not impossible, just a lot of complications.

For instance, taking your personal story example – I don’t see how an Asura would ever have it’s own warband, much less be part of the Iron Legion.

Leo Paul.1659:

Another question, is it really better to rally all of the people in a map and take territories one by one? I was thinking maybe it’s good to make like 3 groups or something then coordinate into taking several points at once since the NPCs get Righteous Indignation for a while anyway..

Funny story over the weekend -

Was tagging along with a zerg on one of the borderlands, an there was another large SoR zerg also roaming about. What made it funny was when we attacked Bay, they attacked Hills. We’d zerg over and take back Hills, then they’d take back Bay. It was all about capping and never once did anyone defend on either side. Just back and forth, over and over.

So no, all in one big group is not the way to go

Same here, I liked it.

There’s a list of other choices to do, so if you didn’t like it, it’s easily avoidable.

RashanDale.3609:

when you close your eyes and see traitlines.

This. When you can’t sleep so you lie in bed theory-crafting.

Setun.4368:

Well, to OP’s credit it is a fun idea on paper, but as mentioned by GuardianOMS people are going to find a million ways to abuse the kitten out of that system. This idea however, could work in wvw. For example, if player A on server A is an active member in large scale fights (in otherwords he’s getting tons of kills/bags), and doesn’t get downed or spiked during any of those fights, players on servers B and C could see a new event pop up if player A is nearby telling them to get that player as he’s become infamous. So basically the more kills a player makes without dying themself would attract attention to themselves as they become notorious.

Agreed, the idea has potential, just needs a lot of tweaking.

To avoid unwanted harassment, instead of being randomly selected, make it like a PvP mode. Players enter either as hunter or bounty. Fame goes up if a hunter kills a bounty, notoriety goes up if a bounty kills hunter. Rewards for kills goes up according to fame or notoriety.

The longer a player goes without a bounty/hunter kill, the more their fame/notoriety will decrease. Logging off automatically removes you from the list of targets (as a bounty).

As for tracking – you choose a target, then get a message giving details about the target (class, level, notoriety, amount of kills, etc). Message includes a “Show me” button, pointing you towards the target’s last known general location (radius of area is debatable, gets smaller as notoriety goes up).

Will add more if any ideas comes to mind

kankon.9251:

there is enough Arabian people play guild wars 2

That depends on what amount is defined as “enough” for them to base holiday events on.

Also, do you have any proof of there being “enough”, or is it just a guess?

Dezarys.1372:

(Grabs Popcorn)

I love the way you start an apparent crying topic on a touchy subject then sit back and watch as people argue over it.

+1 to you

This again?

What’s next? Players grieving others in PvE by completing DEs before they get there?

I’m sorry but I cracked up at the “jump up and down” part. I can just picture a player bouncing up and down as he moves up the stairs and over the ramparts while every defender in the fort has him targeted.

When your in WvW you react immediately You don’t sit there and go “mmmm, let’s see if this guy is gonna exploit the bug or not.”

If he comes through, he dies.

I’d even wear a skirt on my male engi if they got rid of all the kitten trench-coats!

Blackgate.

Originated from Stormbluff Isle, but guild moved over to BG and promptly died.
I stayed because the WvW is awesome

For the Horde!!!

Oh, sorry. Wrong game

Archenteron.7541:

after 10 months is time for it

Well if this formula is to be followed, WoW should have about 20 classes by now?

Wolfheart.1938:

TESO smells of flop to me but go ahead and buy it on day1, I’m sure it’ll work out very well like all the other MMOs

Yeah from what I can tell it seems like TESO is promising a lot so I’m suspecting it will be delivering a lot less than expected (sound familiar to anyone?).

Then again, I might try it for a while because I’m a sucker for the world of Tamriel

Hickeroar.9734:

Le Rooster.8715:

the system is only broken for ranks 1-5 think about that for a second.

It’d be a lot different if ANet wasn’t charging 1800 gems for transfers. I think the playing field would be a LOT different if people could transfer at will, but no one wants to transfer to a server that doesn’t seem to have a high-ranking future when it’s going to cost them gold or money.

Free transfers would only aggravate the problem further. Server hopping would resume until the top servers are max capacity, and all the other servers would be left drained dry

Woops, nevermind

Kain Francois.4328:

while Trahearne meets his previous incarnations.

I would gladly pay to see him and Kormir try and steal each other’s thunder

Edit – In a death-match

Edit 2 – Where the survivor is executed

They will need to add entire maps for the areas to add in the other dragons, so they will most likely only be added with expansions.

Jormag is further up in the Shiverpeaks
Primordus is underground
Kralka-whathisname is in the Crystal Desert
And “Bubbles” controls the oceans so he will most likely come with the Elona (or hopefully Cantha? Cmon devs, pretty please?) expansion.

sighs

The devs stated early on that GW2 will be a different game from GW1.

Yes, they promised a lot of things. Whether they lived up to those promises is debatable.

Does it mean the game needs to change it’s name? No

Well there are hidden “events” on several maps that count towards the Explorer achievement, but I would love to see some more added, so I’m all for this idea!

Celestina.2894:

I’ll be honest, it’s extremely refreshing to for once, hear a complaint about to much content in a MMO

…reminds me of the time I once cashed a five thousand dollar check and was upset it all didn’t fit into my wallet.

I bet you didn’t go around complaining “I have too much money!”

Nev.5316:

and meh the contents are so easy most of them can be done in a few hours so it doesn’t stop you from doing other stuff

This.

They release new content every few weeks, but it takes about a day to complete it (not including “kill 1000 of something that only spawns every few min” achievements). That leaves you with the rest of the few weeks in-between to get back to doing everything else.

Woah, what is THAT -

NA players have bigger…..zergs

Cempa.5619:

Cherubino XV.2384:

If you use the Trait ‘Cleansing Ire’ like me, Longbow wins.

Thats an Elementals trait that cleanses 3 conditions and burns foe!

Cleansing Ire, not Cleansing Fire

Cleansing Ire: New Master tier trait with the following effects: Gain adrenaline when hit. Remove a condition for every bar of adrenaline spent.

I keep both with me, because I use them in different situations.

Choke-points and sieges, LB wins hands down. The damage from AoE on tightly packed groups can be devastating.

For open field fighting I prefer Rifle. The single target burst is superior to what LB can do

Sergo.2867:

If you don’t like the matchup system, it’s okay to express that here. But please don’t claim to speak for all of us and please don’t belittle the efforts of our opponents.

Cheers for some chivalry

Wow, quite a collection of dirty minds we have here.

One ship was rammed from the side by another, causing the side of the hull to buckle in the middle. The buckled curve would be in a similar shape as that of a woman wearing a corset that is squeezing her middle, hence “corseted hull”. The hole in the corset is the hole the other ship just made in the hull

An unwanted suitor is a guy who can’t take a hint. We’ve all seen the guy at the club who just can’t take a hint that the girl isn’t interested, he keeps on flirting even though she doesn’t want him anywhere near her.

Probably Elementalist and Engineer?

I’m missing the point of your sarcasm here.

Vex’s Lab IS easy, the only annoying part was the golem at the end if you’re there solo, but it can be killed easily enough with a bit of patience.

Gnat.9405:

Just wait for the triumphant return of the Ritualist.

I can only hope…but I doubt it. Technically turrets replaced the spirits (no matter in how weak a way) and the rest is mixed up with Monk to form the Guardian

Yeah it’s one of the banes of GW2’s story -

Viking Jorun.5413:

Dedlaw.9130:

Ljiona.9142:

Warrior and rangers are the baseline classes. If your class can kill them, it is balanced. If it can’t, that class needs a buff.

By that standard no class would need to get any more buffs.

Ever.

By this standard every class would need a buff. Learn to play, as terrible as it sounds.

Firstly, that was just humor. My fault that maybe it was a little too subtle.

Secondly, lol. You’re implying that no class can beat a warrior or ranger? Really?

Dedlaw.9130:

Doubtful if it’s the highest, but pretty high DPS build – http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQNBkYDbkzp3tFy5hJOAYeY0PFdUQFTKF2VHA-j0xAYLioZqAQyrIasF3ioxqrxUuER127ioVLFQEjBA-w

SoR -> SoF -> Brutal -> Volley -> Kill Shot
If need be switch to sword -> Savage Leap -> Final Thrust

Why do you have a greatsword trait in arms?…

Also if you wanted to improve dps more (after switching forceful greatsword for crackshot), 5 less in disc lets you put 5 more in arms, 10% more to anything bleeding, just be sure to start with an auto attack for 7.75s of bleeding. Avoid activating SoF early in a fight, you want to get use out of the passive b4 you use it for an adrenaline recharge.

Lol, my bad, supposed to be Crack Shot, not Forceful Greatsword

Good idea on the 5point trade off for damage increase, will be trying it out

If you expect a prolonged fight, yeah save SoF a bit first. The rotation I used as the example was for if I’m planning on something dying within those first few hits. Opening with SoF gives you instant 15% buff from Berserker’s Power and with bit of luck on crits you can easily be looking at damage of 20k and upwards.

Revised build (with correct traits this time ^^) – http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQNBkYDbkzp3tFy5hJOgYeYE/QRcZQFBo+gdA-j0xAYLioZqAQyrIasF3ioxqrxUuER127ioVLFQEjBA-w

Doubtful if it’s the highest, but pretty high DPS build – http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQNBkYDbkzp3tFy5hJOAYeY0PFdUQFTKF2VHA-j0xAYLioZqAQyrIasF3ioxqrxUuER127ioVLFQEjBA-w

SoR → SoF → Brutal → Volley → Kill Shot
If need be switch to sword → Savage Leap → Final Thrust

These threads always remind me of this –

Too awesome for words

skullmount.1758:

I thought the fake walls were a good idea, since they really haven’t used them that much (other than pirate JP I think). The fake ceiling or whatever it is at the goggles shouldn’t be there though. Its hard enough making it knowing where to jump anyways, we should be able to see down with no artificial obstructions.

Yeah the fake walls were a good idea in terms of “find the hidden entrance”.

In terms of “dive down and hope you don’t hit one of the 20 objects between you and the water”, it was a nightmare.

womble.2153:

If the Living World shapes up to Colin’s expectations

That, my friend, is one might big “IF”.

If they really wanted legendaries to be…well, LEGENDARY…they should have made it an achievement to get, not something you can throw money at.

As it stands, legendary status is not “Wow, well done!”, it’s “Wow, you’re rich!”.

Ljiona.9142:

Warrior and rangers are the baseline classes. If your class can kill them, it is balanced. If it can’t, that class needs a buff.

By that standard no class would need to get any more buffs.

Ever.

I think things like racial skills and personal story would cause complications for something like this

lordkrall.7241:

So basically add stuff that makes little or no sense just because it was in GW1?

There is a lot of lore from GW1 that can be used for GW2 as they were never fully resolved in GW1.

A few examples that are loosely tied together:

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Bloodstone
In an interview with Jeff Grubb he said this won’t be used in the initial launch but might play a part in future expansions, so that’s just sitting on the back-burner

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Mursaat
There’s a few references to them in Arah, but nothing about whether they were completely wiped out or not

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Scepter_of_Orr
C"mon, bring back the titans!

Although with that being said, I’d rather they save things like this for full expansions that would (hopefully) do them justice and tie-up the stories.

So for the sake of making the lore worth it, I say keep making up random things for Living Story and save the good stuff for expansions!

As I said in another thread, just making the borderlands different maps instead of the same one x3 will already make them more interesting
