Guild Wars 2

I am trying to start up a youtube account for my GW2 server, and I’m thinking about making a Lore Machinima. Any suggestions?

(I.e.: The explosion of Orr? The ascalon destruction?)

Malafide: But we didn’t change the subject, we’re still addressing skimpy outfits. You just came in here to tell people to stop discussing things on a forum.

How exactly did I tell people to stop discussing things on a forum? I said if you are gonna some how change the topic (Even just a little bit) Make your own topic about it.

But it’s not totally related either. If you’re going to address the way female characters are placed in games, then make a topic about it. Don’t change the subject of another topic.

Me: Cool! The trading post! I wonder what I can do here!

Trading Post Guy: Ok kid, what do you wanna sell?

Me: I’ll sell this axe!

TPG: I can’t sell that kid, it’s soul bound!

Me: What does that mean?

TPG: It means it’s bound to your soul!

Me: But I can delete it… does that mean I delete my soul?

TPG: ….

Me: And I can sell it to vendor’s… does that mean I sell them my soul?

TPG: Listen kid, I don’t have time to study philosophy with you! Are you gonna sell something or not?

Me: Ok, I’ll sell this cookie since I’m to high a level to be using it!

TPG: Kid, no one is gonna buy a crappy cookie!

Me: But you have tons of crates over there with food in them. What do you even do with the stuff people sell you?

TPG: ….

Me: I’ll just leave.

End

Although the music is good, this is not the case. GW2 is not an action filled shooter. GW2 has more of a majestic touch to it. I’m not saying we need majestic music, but hard rock music? In a majestic game?

I guess those are related, but my reasons kind of bring both of those And possibly more together

Why not just make a topic about this, and stop talking about it in this topic. Mmm?

Mad Queen Malafide: *I don’t. I simply defend women specifically, because by far they seemed to be forced in the typical sexual stereotype the most often, in video games.

And I think that fact is pretty hard to deny. Just looking at the depiction of women in video games overall, its persistently sexual. And that stereotype in itself it sexist, since men are not (or rarely) portrayed as such.*

I wouldn’t say this is true. I have played in MULTIPLE servers on GW2, WoW, and even stuff on Xbox 360 and PS3, and when there was a girl in the lobby or game, everyone was nice to her. They treated her like an actual gamer.

And woman can be sexist too. My friend wanted to become a cheer leader because he had good flexibility. And the girls wouldn’t let him on the team. They told him, “We cheer leaders need smart and pretty girls on our team! Not ugly and stupid boys!” This might not be sexist, but he found it sexist. He was depressed for the rest of the school year.

That doesn’t mean woman ARE sexist. I’m a singer, actor, and dancer. And girls I’ve met accepted that in me. They were nice and didn’t straight out say I was stupid or anything.

So you SEE?

Woman can be sexist, and also not sexist.

Man can be sexist, and also not sexist.

There really isn’t one main department in sexism, it’s all equal. Man and woman are both sexist. So why don’t we just stop the bickering and get back to the actual topic?

Maybe they could work on the A.I. to make it more intelligent? So it can know where the biggest target it.

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

AoE = Area of effect. An attack that doesn’t just hit one player, but a large area on the ground.

Thanks, and now that I know what it means, I totally agree with you guys.

Narcemus.1348:

Maybe not even AoE. I can see the Claw of Jormag or The Shatterer encasing the player and those nearby in Corrupted Ice/Branded Crystal. Then other players have to break them out in order to keep their allies.

AoE? Sorry, don’t know what that means. I’m new to MMO gaming.

Everflame.1305:

Although I agree on most points, don’t get your hopes up. These events aren’t going to change.

Maybe these wont, but the ideas could teach them how to make the new fights!

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

I agree with a lot of these points. And yes, making them failable might make things more interesting.

The big problem with dragons right now, is that they are static objects that are not aware of any of the players in the battle. They simply spew their attacks in one direction, regardless if anyone is there. They are unable to even look at players, and I wish they could. But I suspect there are just some serious technical limitations that the dev team runs into when designing these battles.

Even though Dragon minions are mindless, I still agree with you. I mean, they have to be aware of everyone, and not just attack in one direction.

Pip.2094:

I agree with you. The Dragons events make no sense, for there is few to fight during them. For the most, you go there like “Meh, let’s grab these 20s and go on”…The fight might be funnier, I happened to be fighting the Shatterer in early morning once, where few more than 5 people were there. It actually made some sense as a fight, but for the most of the time, there are way too many people camping there, mostly now that rewards have been increased.
As to make them fail-able..I doubt they could, due to the amount of people that still would make sure the event doesn’t fail, unless they added some random situation where maybe the Dragon just flies away…but that would cause crying and rage for sure…
As for Dragons in story quests, yes make them harder, but fail-able…I don’t know. I would honestly find it pretty frustrating to fail at the end-boss and have to start all over, more of all in The Ruined City of Arah, for you must team up with other people. Though, Zhaitan MUST be buffed, the fight is too lame and MUST be improved, made hard and worthy…I found no fun in killing him, no satisfaction in the end for you feel to have just killed loads of Risen as you could have done while farming Orr.
Being the ED weakened already, I don’t think it would be so unreal to end up in a “land-fight” against him, using proper weapons and skills instead of just clicking to fire the cannon, without even needing to aim nor anything…
Anyhow, +1 to this thread, hope they will take your ideas into account!

I only have to say one thing to this: Thanks for taking my idea and giving it a thumbs up! Also, on the failing part for Zhaitan: I didn’t mean as to having to start everything over, I meant just him. Because I myself would be kitten off if I had to restart an entire dungeon. Either way, thanks!

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Aww…You are so sweet!

It is she, by the way. Lol, I was just saying that very thing this morning. I wish I could be helpful every day and be remunerated in some way. Ha ha ha. But Gaile is the wonderful one, I just emulate her; I’m sure ArenaNet needs no more help in that area.

Anyway, thank you so much for the kind words. (blushing a bit here) I am just thrilled you found me helpful.

Don’t worry! You have helped me and so much more people so much! I don’t know how long it took you to learn everything, but you are very helpful.

Personal Story Dragons Spoilers start from here.

Now this is a tough one, because I haven’t played any other paths, I’ve only done the Order of Whispers on the Norn side. But, I do know about ONE dragon.

The Plaguebringer: This is the boss you fight when you do the Battle for Claw Island, a coast in Lion’s Arch with guards to protect any invasions. This boss fight was just like Shatterer’s, or Tequatl’s. I was able to kill him when I was at his side. Also, it was to easy the second time, as when I respawned, all the NPC’s did the work for me. It is also Un-Failable. (Even though you can die, he won’t regain health, unless you go pretty far from him. Or you start the entire mission over.)

Dungeons and Dragons: Elder Dragons (COME ON! You at LEAST chuckled.)

Zhaitan: As I am sure this is the only Elder Dragon out so far, I have heard all he does is stand on a clock tower while you shoot him with a mini gun? Pretty dissapointing, I heard he doesn’t even change position. I also heard he is Un-failable Don’t know if it’s true or not.

Spoilers are gone.

Ok, so, after writing this, I have a few suggestions.

World Event Dragon Suggestions

1: Make the events fail-able. Maybe, Tequatl is about to release a bunch of minions into the world! And if you don’t stop him, there will be an extra amount of risen for a week maybe!

2: You’ve got to stop the camping! Maybe, just like In The Claw Of Jormag, you can have phases for the battle. Or maybe the dragons can move around the area.

Personal Story Dragons Suggestions

1. Make it fail-able. Maybe, the Plague Bringer is about to destroy all of Lion’s Arch with one risen, and you have to fight him before he is able to risen to life.

2. Make it so he can move around the area.

3. Don’t make it so the NPC’s do all the work, maybe if you go far away, the NPC’s will retreat.

Dungeons and Dragons: Elder Dragons Suggestions

1. Make it fail-able.

2. Give Zhaitan a phased fight, or a more open variety. It is a pretty big dungeon after all, from what I have heard.

3. Give the fight a bigger variety with weapons and fights and such!

So, what do you guys think? Do you agree with me?

Before I’d start, I’d like to say please read everything I have written, so you will know EXACTLY what I’m trying to say. Id also like to say that there are Spoiler’s ahead, and if you don’t want to see them, just read the World Event Dragons and where it says Spoilers are gone at the end.

We all know about events like Kralkittorik’s legend, and the Claw of Jormag, and the Tequatl event! Cool, right? The “Event” and “Hard” part of them slip away. Why? Two reasons.

1. You can’t fail.

2. Camping.

Don’t know what I am talking about?

The World Event Dragons

1: Shatterer: In Blazzeridge Steppes, if you go to the area that has been destroyed by Kralkittorik, an Elder Dragon, you will be able to fight the Shatterer. An Elder Dragon Lt. Now, no matter how epic he looks, his fight is to easy. Some guy: “WHAT?!?!?!? ITS EPIC AND AWESOMELY HARD!!!!!!!” Well… no… just… no…. If you have been in a fight, you know that you can go on either side of him and he wont be able to attack you unless you get to close. Un-Failable event

2: Tequatl: In Sparkfly Fen, if you go to the bottom left of the map, you will find Tequatl’s swamp (I know it isn’t his swamp, I just referred to it as the swamp he comes out of), and are able to fight him. Now, don’t mind my terrible history of GW2, for I am still trying to learn the entire lore. So, bare with me. I’m pretty sure he’s the Under Water Elder Dragon’s Lt.? I don’t know, but, I am pretty sure, just like the Shatterer, he has a easy camping spot. Now, I lagged out in the middle of fighting him once, and I wasn’t able to fight him since because my server is bugged out on him. But, at the beginning, we were at one of his sides and he wasn’t able to hurt us, unless we got to close. Un-Failable event

3: Jormag’s Claw: First, I might be wrong at the name, but I have only heard what the event is called. Second, if you go to Frost Gorge Sound (Might be wrong on the name), and you go to a certain place (Don’t know where it is yet) you will able to fight him. Now, this fight is a bit different from the first 2. From what I have heard, he phases and changes a position at one part of the fight. I’ve also heard 2 things: One, you have to stay in front of him, and two, he, just like Tequatl and Shatterer, have weak spots. Finally, I have heard that one phase isn’t good enough, and that he needs to change positions more than once. Since I haven’t even fought him yet, I’m not going to say he can’t hurt you and kill you. BUT, I do know, from just like every other event, IT is an un-failable event.

1st reply: I completely agree with you

2nd reply: No. This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard

I couldn’t stop laughing there xD

Inculpatus cedo has helped MANY people in the “Support” and “Issue” concept. So A-Net… I’m wondering…. If he/she doesn’t have a job, why not hire he/she? He/she is smart and helpful! Helped me when my account got suspended! So, I think you should give he/she a job if he/she doesn’t have on yet.

My motto: GW2 > WoW Anyday

I think there should be 3-4 types of mounts.

1: The regular mounts. Such as: Horses (Maybe cars made by the Iron Legion?)

2: Flying mounts. Such as: Mini Dragons

Now here come new ideas for mounts

3: Underwater mounts. Such as: Submarine (Made by Iron Legion)

4: Mounts you can ride on the surface of water. Mini Whales

(What do you guys think?)

Give me time to reply to you on that…

Derpula Stevens.8249:

Id love a fractal for the Orr battle and the Kryta battle!

Maybe even you can play the guy before he gets turned into the Lich!

Id love a fractal for the Orr battle and the Kryta battle!

Most likely a minion of Kraliktorrik, because he had a minion there when he flew across the Crystal Desert, and I am pretty sure it either got killed by an elder dragons minion, or the fire elder dragon itself?

1.Ok, first we’ll talk about the less important suggestion: Mounts. Now, I know, we have fast travel! We can just walk! I know that. But, really guys? Who DOESNT atleast LIKE mounts? I mean, imagine riding a ghost horse! Or maybe a River Drake! Maybe even a CAR? Not a modern day one, maybe like a car you can buy from the Iron Legion? And we cant forget about flying mounts, maybe we could ride like… a little mini Shatterer? Or a mini Zhaitan? Maybe even a GIANT dragon? (For a lot of gold, that is) And yes, I KNOW about the riding broom and stuff, but THOSE don’t have speed boosts. It even says it in the item description!

2. Now, onto the second more important suggestion. We all remember the Zhaitan fight, right? How dissapointing it was? I mean, the dungeon was good, but the Zhaitan fight… just…. And for stuff like the Shatterer… he is just, not a challenge. We can all stand to the side of him and kill him without really anyone dying (Except for a few people who get to close.) My suggestion is, make it so the mini dragons can maybe… turn! Or have an ALL AROUND attack, so we can’t just camp at one side. And for the elder dragon fights… (Now I’m pretty sure Jormag is an elder dragon, but I might not be right. So bare with me on this) Don’t make it a 5 man dungeon and make it easy for us! Do something like, the Mad Kings Clock Tower! That had a gate with tons of people behind it and when it was ready, we could go in! Now, I know, it would be a TERRIBLY long queue time for any other groups, so give an idea for what else they could do!

Leave a comment below about both my subjects, and if you agree or not.

(P.S And I don’t know if there are more mount topics, so just read the second one if you don’t want to read another thing about mounts.)

(P.P.S. The attachments below are just stuff I put on all my topics. Because I love Pugs. A lot.)

Possibly just a Elder Dragon’s minion? Maybe a minion of Kralkatorrik? Or maybe a different Elder Dragon’s minion? Maybe its a secret Elder Dragon’s minion? Or maybe it’s a minion of Zhaitan? After all, he is the undead Elder Dragon. Or maybe even it will lead us into a new story about Tyria? (Possibly not just the continent, but the entire world!) There are tons of possibilities.

Spoiler Alert Remember the attack on Claw Island? How the OoW had to lose their secrecy to make the two other groups (Vigil and Priory) join them to take it back? If they didn’t do that, Claw Island would still belong to the Plague Bringer!

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

This is one of the reasons one should never share their account with anyone. You can contact support and ask about why specifically you were suspended, and find out if it was your brother’s action. If so, you might want to stop sharing an account with him.
You can not get the suspension lifted, unless your account was compromised by someone outside your family or friends. It is against the rules of the ToS to share your account, as well, so that wouldn’t be a valid reason to get the suspension lifted.

To contact support, ‘Ask a Question’ at support.guildwars2.com

Good luck. =)

Thanks for the answer. Just switched my password so my brother cant get on anymore.

So, I go onto my account and log in. When I start playing it logs me out just instantly saying there is an error. So, I don’t mind it, because it happened to me a lot before. So I try logging in again, and it says I was banned for saying inappropriate language… I don’t know if this was my brother on my account, or maybe another person who had a similar name as mine (Sir Derpula), but I know that I shouldn’t say inappropriate words because of the CoC and ToS… anyone got any suggestions about if I could possibly get the bans lifted? Or can I only wait? And if this somehow happens again, Will I get permanently banned?
