Guild Wars 2

Seriously?
Wow…

Dont see why they couldnt go the extra mile tbh.
/dissapointed

I havent done the clocktower yet but id like to see the skin before i consider running it.
Can anyone post a picture?

I hope you are right GoldenTruth i really do.
If nothing your nick brings hope.

To clarify my post was a reminder that im eagerly awaiting this, not trying to diss Anet.
Ive been floating 1.3k gold in anticipation for the upcoming news of legendaries.

Its just that id be very dissapointed is all….

Oh so they walled themselves off with that little sentence, slipped my eye honestly.
Funny thing, acording to this it can be in 2 months or the next 2 years, since its a fullproof excuse.

Cant wait to see just how many things we wont get in 2013.

So we are nearing the end of 2013 and i just wanted to remind the devs:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/looking-ahead-guild-wars-2-in-2013/

I havent forgoten, i doubt many who actually keep up with the news have.
We have halloween and christmas coming and we are like what, 2ish months away from the end of 2013?

Quite a few promises to keep in this small window of time, new abilities, new legendaries, percusor crafting.

My favorite quote is, since as a necro i really am eagerly awaiting the new legendary batch:

On top of this, you’ll also see new legendary weapons and new types of legendary gear in 2013

I dunno, perhaps you are already all over making this post a reality. Maybe the legendaries and skills are near completion and are just waiting their time to be lauched in the upcoming months.

Wishful thinking i know, also hopefully true.
So thats about it. I know i will probably be pelted by insults or excuses but theres nothing to debate, they announced it themselves and its up to them to keep their word.

That is all.

PS: There better be a death themed legendary staff coming out!
And maybe trinkets, since legedary ones were talked about too!
Some fly clouds, yeah those would be sweeeet…

@Bweaty

If by covered you mean they pop poison when they die, then we arent on the same page.
Im talking minions that can cause bleed and other conditions.

For instance for the new elite i was thiking of a ranged minion that bleeds, with its activated ability making it vomit or whatnot thus making the area around itself cause weakness to all who enter for its duration.
The minion wouldnt be able to move during the cast.

So id like to see a few things people would like about the necro, and hopefully some dev might get some ideas from reading peoples stuff.
So here i go:

1)A new legendary staff, with alot of death motifs and green and moldy junk.

2)Condition Minions. Whether they would scale off your condi dmg or not i dunno, but if they dont the bleeds should be on par with a fully condi speced necro.
At least get us an Elite ranged condi minion, that would open some nice variety.

3)More acess to torment.

You are seriously delusional if you think someone would go around paying 1000+gems multiple times for the reason you mentioned.

People have alts for a reason, noone would reroll for story or a useless racial skill.
This primarily affects those who dislike their race choice because of the looks.
As for the developers and their time and whatnot, irrelevant to the majority of the people that are asking for this (gw2 vets with tons of alts).

We have already experienced everything, and the horribly mediocre story that ive already done on 3 sylvaris wont be any more interesting if im a diferent class.
Even if the story was good, its not play through it 3x good.

Any reasoning against this race change item being implemented holds no ground imo.

Seems the issue is gone, strange.

Heres how it animates the dissipation of the effect above you.

So since yesterday this started happening.
It renders everyones signets that way.

What should i do…
Is this some recent patch bug?
I just got it today, never had this issue.

HERE HERE!
Note also that the forum is just a miniature piece of the community, and you can bet the majority who doesent browse the forums is more than up for it.
There is no downside that people can whine about, which isnt just plain pointless and greedy imo.

As for the story, you can juts get a questionnaire.
With questions that are actually related to the story itself, like when you were asked what race to study in the Priory you chose: and then you get answers to pick from etc etc.

I also dont think people would mind if the price is big.

I have a bad feeling they wont take any action against this until the next patch (24th).
And even thats wishful thinking imo.

Here here, getting this rubberbanding constantly in 10ish sec intervals, sometimes even every 5 secs.

As a WvW only player this patch has given me no reason to continue playing this game.

gg anet you really screwed the pooch this time.

To clarify, a bit better.
I know you can only get the chests from Teaquatl once a day, just like any other boss chest.

Does this also mean the chance at that new ascended weapon will be once per day?
Will you get a single thing for participating in the event more than once?

Can you feel the smothering hand of the Plague God?

OH i got one.
Seeing as we have a power focused transform, how about a conditon focused elite transform? (I know we have Plague From and this would probably never see the light of day, but who knows…)

To offset it and make Plague From usefull you wouldnt get stability i guess.
Fleshlord Form:
1)A 3 attack chain, first 2 stack a bleed stack, the last drains HP and heals you
2)Noxious vomit: Similar to Eles fire and frostbreath, but inflicts poison and/or weakness
3)Hungering Block: Similar to warriors second mace skill, you go into a blocking stance and if you block you hit your target with an attack that bleeds and drains some HP
4)Tendrils: You expel many fleshy tendrils to impale nearby foes, on a successful hit it applies torment
5)Bonewall: Like the Guardians staff 5th ability you make an impassable wall that can only be passed with stability (would probably look silly if you went through the wall with stability but hey…)

Similarly to what Bhawb i want new minions.
Ive been thinking of this elite minion for a while now, that would fit with conditionmancers well.

Lets call it the Hive.
The appearance of this creature would be something akin to the air elemental, except it would be a bloated ball of flesh and puss with spider legs.

What it would do is spawn jaggeies out of itself in 3-5 second intervals, it would not have any attack capabilities of its own.
The activation skill of the minion itself would order the minion to implode, releasing 5 jaggies and perhaps crippling nearby enemies for 2 secs (though the cripple might be a bit over the top, so maybe not for balance sake).

Also more fun minions, and perhaps give existing ones some cleave capabilities.

So posted about this in a thread before but would really like to hear from the devs.
Are Tequatl specific weapons still on for the release?
Since nothing was mentioned in the preview.

But they always mentioned new gear in their previews, always…
I hope im wrong and they suprise me with some kitten undead gear.
Which doesent have a 0.00012 chance to drop that is.

Im very confused and kinda irked about the new content.
Why? Cause somethings lacking in that reveal.

http://dulfy.net/2013/08/31/gw2-pax-anniversary-bash-coverage/

Has chance to drop Ascended weapon, with a brand new reskin that are exclusive to Tequatl, and you can get a mini version of Tequatl as a rare drop!

Why isnt this mentioned in the presentation of this new content?
Have they scraped it?
They always flaunt new gear in their update previews, so was the thing they said on PAX a joke?
Im not gonna be happy if it is, not because of the Ascended rarity of the weapon itself but because i was really looking forward to more death themed weapons.

Anyone?
Cmon noone had 100 stored points at some point?

Hmm ive had an interesting experience similar to this.
I like to run my warr as tanky as i can in WvW.

So whilst running to this camp i saw a warrior standing in the path, so i engaged him.
The fight lasted a whole 10 mins, both of us could mitigate so much dmg it seemed.
But contrary to myself the dude hit like a truck which was odd since he was as durable as the harderst bunker out there.

Also i was getting allot of blocks, even when none are possibly to occur.
Quite odd, i reported it though, still no news.

Okay so this happened to me once and i didnt think much of it, but now its back.
The counter on the left (Rank and Abilities, the blue circle that tell you how much points you have stored) has turned into an exclamation mark.

It seems to have been turned into the same after going through the 99 number.
Is this just cause it cant show 3 digit numbers on the right, or am i in danger of ranking up in vain (as in you cant store no more and im not getting any points when i rank up)???

Winthos.8406:

Djemo.7153:

Bumping my request, has anyone glimpsed at it?

Mariulo.2019:

We can’t, this is not the right key.

Please note that the flute can only play the C major key, and only with two octaves.
So there is something like 90% of all music you can’t play on the flute.

With some imagination, one can transpose songs into the flute’s key (which is E actually) and make it almost fit the original. Many of the songs I’ve figured out don’t match exactly to the original due to us not having half steps to work with. I’ll attempt your request but which part are you interested in from that video? The man singing or the background instrumental?

edit: So after playing around with it, yeah that song is actually pretty rough. We’re missing too many notes to make it sound anything close to what it should be. This goes to show how awesome having sharps/flats would be Anet!

First and foremost thanks for taking an interest.
As for the part, well i dunno, the melody not the man i guess since i dont think that can be replicated in any way. Any part that will sound coherent enough so i can recognize and my fellow countrymen as well. So i guess instrumental yeah.

Here a few variations of the song, perhaps some might be easier to decipher:

Bumping my request, has anyone glimpsed at it?

May any kind soul help and make me a play sheet for this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzeKOrxQhU4

Would be most grateful.
Theres 5 gold in it for the first man to do it right.
God speed.

All that would requre a massive rework of how items work imo, hope they dont screw things up.

Ok so im not getting how this is an improvement.
We will get armor and weapons that will use infusion slots hence infusions.

Can anyone tell me how an infusion is better than runes/sigils?
How can a faceless bland infusion of +5 or whatever compare to the awesome utility of the Soldier runes, or the sheer awesomeness of the Fire Sigil.

Then theres stack on kill sigils and many many more things.
From my perspective and from what im seeing this will make runes and sigils, something really special to the individuality of a player obsolete.

Cause you cant put those in infusion slots.

Seconding Lokyate.
They already have the Candy Cord/Zaithaffy vomit animation.

MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

That shield sounds ridiculously awesome.
10/10 would craft.

We need dead things not demonic things.
We arent warlocks, we have been over this :P

And noones to say there wont be like 2 new stakitten and the other weapon variants.
Hence this is why i want to see other peoples ideas, not reasons why someones idea should not be implemented.

With the release of the news that all classes will be getting new skills, what are some skills you would desire.

For instance:

1)More minion types. I was thinking of something like a Brood Nest. The minion would be a undead rotten and bloated version of a spider (barely resembling one, like a balloon with spider legs) and would have no attack itself. It would periodically spawn jagged horros and up to perhaps 3 can be up from it at all time.

2)If they give us an option to delve into changing weapon skills i would very much like to see an option to be able to place the Mark of Horror as a staff skill.

Ok so with the recent turn of events (WOOT) its been confirmed we are getting more legendaries.

How about everyone tosses out some ideas that the devs might draw from?
Im sure they are far from actually being made so they are probably brainstorming like we are.

So:

Zaithans Gaze:
Since the necro lacks an actual legendary that look remotely good on him (dont argue with me, you wont really change my opinion, and its not the thread for that…) i think he should get a staff.

Its head should resemble something akin to those Eye of Zaithan enemies, but it would be sickly green.
The eye itself would be ooze green and frantically gaze around.
The footsteps animations should either be:
1)An ooze puddle with tiny skeleton hands like the second scepter skill protruding from it.
2)Something similar to the mini version of the ooze enemy, colored green.

We are getting the catapult mastery no?
Not saying its nearly enough for what the PvE crowd will get (and has gotten since like ever) but thats the usual Anet for you.

@In there lies the problem Uther, so when in lets say 2-4 weeks we get a new armor skin (fingers crossed) we will need to grind for it.

Lets say (since i didnt see anyone give hard facts) the current armor is locked under 6k acc points.
The new iterations of gear will need to have a few filler tiers (as you can see the tiers where you get no gear choices) so id go an shoot at a number that would be about i dunno 8k acc points.

Thats not what your average player has.
Heck i played this game for 2.5k hours and i have 4.8k since i dont chase after them.

And the pinnacle of it is more and more content will come out related to the achievements, making it a bigger and bigger grind till Vindictus looks like a no grind game.

Giving some sort of tokens on the other hand which can be redemed any time you want (read when content you like is in the acc chests) would be the perfect way to go with it.

If the moderators deem it necessary they will move it, as it stands the things i came to talk about came with the Bazar so it will stay here until a higher power says otherwise.

Also what part are you not getting? Im asking if we should store chest or not? If any further content will be a required grind to the next milestone for the newer relased skins.

If you took the time to read this subforum you will see allot of people are unsatisfied with the 2 current armor choices presented.

Ok so apparently someone did take offense as to how i produced the last thread (which is baffling to me but whatever) and it got deleted.

But that doesent change the fact that i would like answers (yeah im not demanding im asking, gosh…)

In these achievement reward chests ive noticed something i touched upon in my last thread.

There was an option (a button in the lower right corner) that clearly stated “Store for later” (well perhaps not in those words but yeah something like that).
Does this mean that we can store our choice indefinately till some other armor/weapon is released through achievements?

Or does this mean nothing and we will get any other content on higher milestone, which i fear as an option is like shooting yourself in the foot.

So i ask you nicely with cherry and cream on top to tell us what your future plans are for this, will more options be added on existing milestones or will we be forced into a grind for achievements a huge majority of us doesent like.

If its the former then it would be your kind and very desired gesture, as developers and people who want us to continue to enjoy this game, to tell us if we should “store” these chests (which by what i saw you cant even remove, its always there floating even if you press store, which is annoying).

Actually Marcus they did have to do this.
They had to do this so the people who have nothing else to keep them ingame actually stay rather than move on.

So yeah, stop that.

Perhaps an Anet employee would like to verse us on some logic behind this?
I saw one gracing a thread in the Bazar subforum not more than a few hours ago.

Cmon dont be shy :P

@Onshidesigns

Yeah you may be right, doesent change the fact it will be made a higher milestone to get them.
Thats why i propose tokens.

Its leaked yo.
I appreciate optimism just as any other man but cmon…

Well for there sake and ours lets hope these 2 week patches actually bring something worthy of note for other classes veeery soon.
Fingers crossed for some living light armor for the Necros to look kitten.

Glad i have likeminded people, but i think the real problem is like i stated that the sets that will spawn afterwards will require ridiculous amount of achievement grind.

I hereby implore Anet, if you cant change it before the patch itself to repatch it in such a way that we get a token or like a saved up point in the UI which we can hold on till something we want rears its head in the achievement prizes.

Cause its very bad to make people grind up higher on the achievement ladder to get something just cause they were forced to get something they didnt like beforehand.

Ok im more than sure ill get bombarded with comments akin to “ungrateful insert swear” but seriously?
We get 2 armors, 2 armors which are blatantly heavy sets.
How does either of those two fit on a Necromancer, Thief, Ranger?
I dont see it being all that good looking on a Mesmer or Engi either.

Its obvious that this is made for Guardians/Warriors and perhaps that Hellfire set will go with CoF light for some sort of a Elemeltalist who prefers the use of the Fire Attunement.

But wow, just wow.
Those are clearly heavy pieces and dont really fit into any light set aside from CoF and i guess the whole monster look of Hellfire could only work with the Arah medium.

To add insult to injury, im 100% sure that they might at some point go and push out a few other pieces due to the outrage.
But your achivement milestone sets are bound to not have an option to “store” your choice no.

To clarify, i dont like these sets since i cant do jack kitten with them.
BUT i will have to choose one on the milestone cause i doubt ill have a choice.
And then when they release something worthy of a light/medium class ill have to grind up to the next milestone.

Me, who doesent like chasing over achievements will be forced to do so cause the light sets will be locked under some very very high milestone.
Aint nobody got time for that.

I run it in Fullscreen.
Also this issue hasnt appeared ever in my 2.5k hours of gameplay.
Ive done the alt+tab all the time since i always play music with my GW.

The problem is recent.

This happens in WvW (havent tested anywhere else but when im in LA its ok).
It started happening a few days ago, i would go into WvW and see everyone talk normally.

Up until some point i saw everyone in chat both map and regular, then after a certain amount of time everything stops.
I dont see anyone typing anything (and in always quened EB that is immpossible) and when i type anything in any chat and press enter nothing happens.
My message, nor anyone elses is displayed neither in bubbles nor in the chat window.

When i reset the game it works again but dissolves into the same issue.

Only thing im doing which is “wierd” is i occaisonally alt+tab to change tunes.
How do i fix this? Its horrible to not be able to see anything in chat nor type.

Just because YOU werent affected doesent mean the other 99% of PvE players werent.
I likewise dont think its a big deal that we are left with our acc points intact, i also think this isnt a big deal.
Its all about how you want to play the game, dont be mad at people thinking PvE isnt fun or necessary.

Love how everyones saying they wouldnt notice the lack of those bonuses.
In every kitten thread.
Remember that Orichalchum everyones been farming for ages, other materials? How shy of your number would you be if there was no boost to extra node ticks.

Or that time you barely saved you kitten in a dungeon, dangling on your 200hp limping away while crippled?
That Lupicus bolt that you didnt dodge well but still didnt remove the second half of your HP totally?
Dmg from monsters reduced anyone? How many of those CoF speedfarmers would wipe a few times due to that single more hit that could only have been obtained from a WvW boost?

Yeah, everyone saying this idiocy…. i really wish there was a way everyone’s experience would be replicated without them.
