Guild Wars 2

It’s needed for the achievement.

Whats with the mini screenshots?

S/D 3 is so easy to land anyway. I say we take away all weapon sets except d/d, remove stealth, but wait…that still leaves skill slot 1…hmmm. need to rethink this.

Easy to land? I hate that spec BECAUSE of how hard that is to land. It’s prefaced by a moving dodge and has a slow animation.

Ya LS is hard to land these days.

ya LS is hard to land! the animation is slow! so sometimes pre casting Flanking strike then Larcenous+steal or infiltrator’s signet.

You need to keep moving. Try making use of holding down both mouse buttons to move forward instead of W. At least that’s what I do to aim it quickly in combat.

Cuz we have spearguns.

I got it on infantile mode yesterday. I died a few times to Storm boss so that doesn’t matter. I was solo.

I use all the skills in the S/D hotbar situationally. Not just spam 3. :o that wont always work. Even dancing Dagger has it’s use, especially if you don’t use a ranged weapon.

S/D also plays more like GW1 Assassins since you’re actually battling and evading (blocking in GW1’s case) at close range and making extra use of shadowstepping instead of relying on stealth. As I’ve already said, there’s nothing that needs nerfed. Try making a condition build and fighting them, they get tore to shreds. Sword Warriors, Cond Engi and Necros really mess me up fast if I’m not careful.

Bevian.8973:

Dont even bother going after chests in trib mode. More often than not they are impossible to get to and, besides, it’s trib mode, why are you trying to collect baubles in it?! =D

I actually ran trib w1 to get 400 baubles for the torch in a nonboring way. .-.

I didn’t bother going for that chest though, it just screamed “this is a horrible idea” much too loudly at me.

LinkR.6190:

I will admit, I have been tempted to try. I mean, god knows what kind of wonderful things could be in there. Though, knowing Treb mode, it’s just gonna be a midget in the box who leaps out and pops you in the nuts.

Reminds me of Borderlands 2. XD

You’re going to either need a lot of coins, get infinite coin, or find/wait for a video guide and follow it very carefully.

You’ll have to make legendary weapons to get those affixes. ;s

I welcome anything that gives me 1200 range on land.

Can I have a racial backpiece that gives my Sylvari wings like the light racial and/or a vine tail?

iFocus.3781:

“Have you tried unplugging it, then plugging it back in?”

Yes ?

There’s no such thing as Sword burst unless you immobilize someone and use an axe stolen from warrior. ;/ The dmg absolutely sucks if you don’t go full zerker, then if they manage to land a hit or are spec’d for condition you can die pretty fast, or at least get shunned off and have to run. It’s a nice weapon set (for spvp) but there’s nothing that needs nerfed anymore about it.

Where’s my SAB?

Siliconmana.3816:

While it should provide rewards and much fun for those with vertical prowess, some of us just simply fail dismally at JP’s. Now Anet wants to rub salt in the wound and bring in round two of SAB for more frustration and impossible rewards. Yaay…not.

Buy the skins on the TP then.

Ummm.. ;/

I came in here expecting Kalameet. Where my Dark Souls bros at?

Praise the Sun.

Morsus.5106:

I’m hoping we get more Karka/Flame&Frost type updates from now on vs the lighthearted adventure box and Scarlet updates.

I love Karka. Southsun is so empty again!

I sent this as a bug report a very long time ago in-game. Figured I’d put it here now~ been a while and it just pokes as me at a pet peeve every now and then.

The Jade Dragon Dagger’s Ribbon doesn’t show up correctly and is invisible from the front and sides, and only visible from the back. It works perfectly fine on the other weapons with ribbons; like the Sword (as u can see in last pic). Wondering if it’ll ever be fixed.

The Toy Golem was actually one of my favorite mini because of how noisy it was. :x

I like ones that have audio the most in general.

Seven Star Stalker.1740:

I’ve kinda got a hunch that they kinda decided to do an uninformed experiment to see how the player base would feel about having this method of gifting.. I hope.

But yeah. I’m over it now, OP. ANet used to be cool. And to those who say, “Oh, be grateful blah blah blah” I’m sorry but when someone actually goes down in standard when they were higher up before, it is hard for an individual to be grateful if the quality has dropped.

It’s easy to say “Be Grateful” but the reality is, ANet fixed something that was anything but broken, and it is probably one of their best things.

Majority of what they do is an experiment. The cost of trying to break away from the norm and fix a broken genre. It’s a messy process though. Hopefully they’ll understand how boring this change is compared to GW1. :/

ArchonWing, you in a deep financial gutter or grew up extremely poor or something to make you this bitter? You’re trying as hard as possible to stomp all over a tradition every GW1 player has been used to for years. Seems like there’s a much deeper problem going on with you here. Of all the complaints that clutter this forum, this one is absolutely acceptable. It’s basically like they deleted a holiday when they coulda just as easily continued it with using the 54 new mini they just added. ;/

treborIRL.4521:

its very bad to get free stuff, people complain when it doesn’t meet their standards, then QQ and talk about GW2 being dead to them and moving on to another game. lulz.

The dead and moving thing is a bit drastic, but it’s hard to imagine anyone who was/is a GW1 fan not being horribly disappointed by them ruining a very long-running tradition. They kept other ‘holiday’ things like Wintersday, Halloween, Dragon “Festival,” April Fools, and so on~ why throw this one out? A lot of people were expecting them to keep this trend, so why shouldn’t they be disappointed?

Lafiel.9372:

Jokes aside, crafting is okay, it’s the time gated stuff that is a extremely cheap way to sell off content which “last”.

I think there’s both good and bad to the time gating thing, depending on how they go about it. As I see it now though; these weapons have multiple different ways to get them so…
Lets say an item = 30 days at least to make with daily mats, and that same item is available from chest and boss drops. You could be opening multiple chest and killing that same boss every day, as well as getting the daily mat. When you hit that 30 day point and are one of the majority who’re hated by RNG most likely you will have never gotten the ascended drop but can now get it with crafting.
It’s like a failsafe for sh***y luck where you’re not going to be unable to obtain these ‘rare’ items forever when you play everyday w/o getting RNG rewards. ;s Precursor “scavenger hunt” will probably be done like that too.

rjnemer.7816:

Ecto was the main form of currency in gw1. It shouldnt be a surprise to anyone that ectos have a lot of worth. Its how it should be.

Ectos also dropped in GW1 though.

Just one of the ways Guild Wars has stopped being Guild Wars.

Changing such a long-running custom so drastically…

As a male medium armor Sylvari… everything does. :|

Arkitech.9158:

I like the idea, although I’m sure it’s not gunna happen. Another suggestion I want to add is adding vulnerability to unload along with the short range blast replacement for bodyshot.

Kinda like what they did with Ranger Rapid Fire~ moving vulnerability to it from Hunter Shot and then changing Hunter Shot to an entirely different function.

I’ve always thought Body Shot should be changed to do burn damage and/or do somekinda explosion aoe. The Blast thing would be a nice addition too. Combos are one of my favorite parts about Thief, and I would always welcome more of them. (One reason I dislike Sword in PvE, no Combos..)

IDK why they removed a perfectly good armor set. Also there’s Tribal Armor for Rangers? o.O But good medium armor doesn’t exist. I guess it’s just wishful thinking?

Although they should bring back Elite Scar from GW1 first before Tribal, imo.

Mini do have a bonus. They cure the ‘forever alone’ condition.

TexZero.7910:

Another stat that we get no choice in, check their blog post.
A -> B
C-> D
E -> F

There is no oh hey i have set A and i want stat combination F. You have no say, effectively Anet is punishing people for playing the game and investing in those items.

I guess you didn’t read the dev’s post.

Martin Kerstein.3071:

For example, if you have an Explorer’s Pearl Staff, you can now double-click it to change it to any other crafting stat.

And…

Doggie.3184:

Is it true Salvage Kit type will effect change of salvaging luck? :<

No, it doesn’t. They mentioned it when talking about those copper salvage-o-matic things.

Where is this info cuz they said something completely different in a previous video stream.

Sure you spent money discovering stuff for the sole purpose of discovering it, which is kind of a waste imo since there’s no achievements for it. Either way you still were able to sell those exotics on the TP. So asking for a refund is just unnecessary. It would be nice though if they just awarded exp for each item already discovered instead of resetting though. If that is even within their power to pulling off easily/correctly.

Is it true Salvage Kit type will effect change of salvaging luck? :<

They need to add at least 50 more permanant Jumping Puzzles around the world; each with an achievement for completing it.

Or let us dye weapons or weapon particles.

I want my Incinerator to be a blue flame.

This isn’t just a living story though this time. It’s The SUPER ADVENTURE BOX!

It’s more than just a story. It’s… it’s an adventure! O_O

You mean your body is ready, right?

They mentioned in an interview there’d be new Legendarys eventually. Don’t recall a date ever mentioned. Hoping for a Shortbow that doesn’t shoot terrifyingly disturbing unicorns.

Maybe a Crossbow-Shortbow.

Just get the Legendary you want and save up for one of the new ones for your other weapon set. I have Incinerator, need a different Legendary Dagger for off-hand or a Shortbow to aim for one day. Not that I’m gonna be in any rush to finish that. >.<

Condas.7056:

Not sure, but I do want to know when the patch will come… My wife needs Dusk for Twilight… and that is it. She just got the last T6 mats she needed tonight after a big rush this week with my help. Looking foreword to her finishing it so we can run around as a matched pair (I have Sunrise currently).

They you can be together for Eternity. :o

Race doesn’t effect stats in any way. Only difference is a few racial skills that don’t matter all that much and racial armor skins.

My Asura is an Ele

Simple answer = Anet hates Thieves.

How are Scarlet and the Queen getting all this money and supplies to create 100trillion robots anyways?

Same thing I thought. They went through the effort of making an entire new set of mini pets, they mine as well of just used those as bday gifts; following GW1’s system. Seemed like a missed opportunity.

Wolfheart.1938:

Azure Prower.8701:

Would rather pay a sub. That way I know quality is assured (snip)

Are you implying that every game with a sub releases only quality content? Because I keep hearing this argument really often and I wonder how paying monthly assures anything.

Every P2P game I’ve played in reality was a crap skinner box in the end that just copypastas every other MMO’s mechanics so P2P doesn’t equal Quality to me. It feels more like a trap. That’s why I stuck with GW1 in the end and then onto GW2. It was very story driven with lots of things to do and didn’t force you to grind like crazy. Better quality than any P2P imo.

Some P2P games add cash shops on top of it anyways too. -.- ew

Clockwork Bard.3105:

Zacchary.6183:

What is there to nerf?

Crippling Strike has been replaced with Offer Carrot, which will buff all rabbits in the area to legendary status and improve the target’s eye sight such that they can see through stealth.

Offer Carrot will need to be buffed to summon a Bunnynado from Super Adventure Box.

Cyga.1246:

My character is 12 month old now and did not receive birthday present I played since head start 25 August .

Same. I didn’t get gift on the very first character I made, during Head Start. I got it on my alts I made after him though. In /age it says 12 months, so something’s just weird with my main. ;/

People are disappointed because they didn’t stick to the same system they used in GW1, and used something far less interesting/fun.

I got present on an alt but not on my main character, which I created before him. o.o

If I wanted to play a subscription game I’d be playing FFXIV right now. But P2P goes against my religion so I have to pass it up till it fails and goes F2P like everything else does.

If there’s something I like enough in Gem store I’ll pay money for it np. I like cosmetic stuff. Subscription is just ugly and makes me feel like I’m not getting what I paid for and/or wasting money.

When buying the game and expansions or gem store skins you’re immediately getting what you want at once and don’t need to pay monthly hoping they actually put the money to good use with updates. They can also abuse subs by making things as grindy as possible so people sub longer, which can backfire like it did with Aion. Then the game dies or goes F2P and all that money feels wasted. You also don’t feel like you’re wasting money by not logging in for a few days/weeks.

Pennry.9215:

Let us forge the minis or something. For now, they’ll just sit stacked in my bank collectibles with my Orian Priests.

I want to Forge the Queen mini with the Logan mini and make Logan Jr mini.

I actually still haven’t gotten my bday gift even tho its past the 12 month point. :o

Don’t post stuff like this. They’ll take it seriously and nerf sword again.
