Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone!
I’m working on a big GW2 Fan project for my channel and I am looking for anyone who would like to do voice acting for it.

This is the current major cast list:
Logan Thackery
Rytlock Brimstone
Caithe
Zojja
Snaff
Eir

I also need some voices for minor roles.
This is a non-pay Fan Project for the Guild Wars 2 community!
You don’t need to be a professional voice actor or actress; just need passion and a good professional mic for the record. You’ll be preforming from your own home and sending me the voice files to work with for the final edit.

Credits will be given when the video is Live!
Please upload a sample of each role you like to play online and send me a link to check it out. You will hear a response if chosen.

Thank you for considering contributing to the Guild Wars 2 community and helping me make this next big project! <3

Hey guys!
I’m not sure where to post this but here it goes:

I’m working on a new big GW2 fan project video for my youtube channel and I’m looking for someone who I can draw and I can collabrate with.

I’m looking for someone who can draw with these art styles:

It’s a non-pay gig and it would be a huge contribution to the guild wars 2 community. =) If anyone is interested let me know.

Hey guys! I’m the one who made the video!
Just wanted to let you all know the final edition to the Season 1 Movie is done and it’s 3hours and 19min long with an actual Chapter Selection Menu! It includes all the cutscenes, dailogues and lore narration needed to complete the Movie experience!

I hope you enjoy it! Here is the new link:

I made and compiled a 3hour and 19min video of Season 1 Movie that includes all the cutscenes, dailogues and lore narrations here:

This is pretty much all you need before playing Season 2 and HoT.
Enjoy =)

Forgotten Legend.9281:

NOW i know what you’ve been up to, DreamyAbaddon. i watched the whole thing this weekend. all i gotta say is.

i should make an Outstanding In Fields of Bacon Award for such dedication. Of course, the bacon would be shared among all the participants, and there would be plenty of bacon for everyone involved. unless of course there are some that don’t like bacon. then there’d also be strawberry rhubarb pie. on second thought, there’d be strawberry rhubarb pie as well, even if everybody does like bacon.

Thanks! Unfortunantly I had some issues with video staying up but I just updated and uploaded the final edition which is 3hours and 19min long and adds a bunch of missing scenes! It is finally complete so enjoy!

Kal Spiro.9745:

She was 5 and she is now 15

No way she is 15… The lady looks way older than that and she’s a counsel member!

Should I just make it up if there isn’t any records for it?

I want to know how old Captain Ellen Kiel was when Magnus adopted her and how old she is right now. Thanks!

I love Commodore Cobiah Marriner and the Sea of Sorrows storyline and I wish we got to experience and play that book’s story in game. I mean I love Commodore and his crew and everything. He is amazing and I loved how when LA was rebuilt as a Pirate nation where all races got together during the time era where humans and charr where still at war. It was amazing how all pirates (regardless of race) where getting along while the outside world where fighting. I loved how Kryta was fighting the new Pirate Lions Arch.

Also I wish we got to experience the story of Destiny’s Edge in game from the book’s storyline. I mean it was awesome. I really loved the characters better. Logon and Rytlock are awesome; loved how they where enemies and later became close like brothers.

I also wish we got to play the story from Ghosts of Ascalon… When will Dougal Keane actually take part of the story in game? I want to see him make an appearance in Season 3…

I feel like these books where great but the stories NEED to be experienced in GAME. =(
We have a Time machine (Fractal) so can’t we have storymode solo version to play those stories in a coherent way? I would LOVE to be Commodore Cobiah and experience his story in his perspective during those time era.

Thanks for the adding more shared inventory slots!
I still havnt bought em but I plan too buy them all eventually and the bundle is a nice touch! The Black Lion Trading Company is awesome! Also thanks for paying to improve Lions Arch and for all the cosmetics outfits. Although I prefer armor skins personally. The glider skins are awesome too!

Oh Evon, I hope we see you in Season 3 story again. =) I miss you causing trouble.

notebene.3190:

Watched a little over an hour last night on my Roku.

So many little passive things (besides the bigger, obvious things like the original Lion’s Arch) about the video make me nostalgic for things that no longer exist in the game too.

Oh well, nice to get to see them again.

I’m glad you enjoyed it! =)

Can someone tell me how old Braham Eirsson was in Season 1?

Good news guys!
I’ve been working on finding new footage to improve on the GW2 Season 1 full story and so far it’s going so well! Doing some hard core editing to create the coherent story telling experience with the footage I found on youtube.

Don’t worry I wont be adding any season 2 spoilers since some of the original footage explains things that you later discover in Season 2. This GW2 Season 1 movie will be strickly things you’d learn in Season 1 only that way you can fully enjoy Season 2 after watching the video. =) I’ll also need to make links to original source I got the footage to channels I borrowed though I dont remember all of them but the ones I do I will add them once I update my video!

Can anyone help me find Twilight Assault Story dungeon WITHOUT Commentary so I can get those cutscenes too add to my GW2 Season 1 Movie?

Any help would be appreciated cause finding the full dungeon footage for that is painful.
ty!

onevstheworld.2419:

Look’s great.

If you’re redoing your video with the extra footage, can you split it into several shorter videos? I can’t speak for others… but personally my attention span will struggle with a nearly 2 hour clip.

I may consider it.
But at the mean time I’m making this for people who want to sit down, eat popcorn and watch it like a movie… =P When that is done I may cut it in smaller sections as “Episodes” for those who prefer to watch it your way and may not have much time to watch the entire thing at once. Just hang in there.

I will most likely number the episodes when I start working on them as smaller sections that way it would be easier for people to look for the part they missed on my channel and continue to watch them through there. Only problem is these game footage don’t belong too me and I am only extracting them, editing them and re-uploading them on my channel and I don’t want to get in trouble by the original content creators so I wont be monetizing them. (I havn’t monetized any videos I made that belong too me yet either) but someday I might monetize my own work when I make enough content of my own. For now I’m making this so we can all look back and enjoy the Season 1 story before we start playing Season 2. For new and old players. =)

Rukia.9860:

She must have worked on some pretty terrible forums, because I don’t see any special qualities on the GW2 forum, and every one I’ve used has a working search engine.

Most forums have every single thing GW2 forum has, thumb up, even thumbs down, we’re like facebook… people too sensitive to be thumbs downed lol need their safe spaces. Search bar, view user posts, etc.

So what makes GW2 forums so unique? Oh that’s right… non working functions lol

If Blizzard can revamp their forums entirely, why can’t we? (and it wasn’t even needed.)

I have asked for a -1 button about a thousand times, for those pesky recurring threads we all love to hate. I say bring it on I will wear either + or – proudly.

So we most likely wont get this basic feature unless ArenaNet decides to migrate their forums to a new website design? I highly doubt this would be a priority since it cost money and ArenaNet would be wiser to spend that money to invest on the game for more content. =(

storiessave.3807:

I don’t see any logical argument against allowing an option to deploy gliders differently. No one’s trying to force anyone to utilize gliders in a different way if they’re happy with how it is currently.

I know that for myself, and for a few friends, even this long after their release, gliders still screw me on jumping puzzles all the time. And I don’t really think it’s just a L2P issue either – I have tried letting go of spacebar as soon as possible when jumping, and sometimes the glider will still activate in the split second it takes me to release the button. It’s finicky, buggy, and I’m not sure if it’s hardware related, FPS related, latency, or something else. I get pretty decent FPS in this game even on my potato, and I still suffer from the glider deploying uncontrollably sometimes.

There’s literally zero harm in giving people an option. Giving people a second way to glide if they struggle with gliders coming out when they aren’t wanted isn’t going to break your gameplay if you like the way they’re currently implemented.

THANK YOU!!!
THIS GUY GETS IT!!! =)

Let’s hope we get a patch to fix this issue by adding other options for us to choose how we want to glide soon cause currently it is annoying this is the only way you can glide with current system. Specially annoying when glider activates when you dont want it too.

Donari.5237:

This one has a little bit of cinematic of Lost Shores karka arrival
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PU6Vjen5kY
(mostly UI visible stuff though)

Here is the trailer for it — does not show lighthouse getting wrecked but has good arrival cinematic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2ddErJ2c5I

Here’s a summary of Flame and Frost — has a voice over but includes the cinematics and the voice over is explaining the lore of the story, not the game play.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Zk-07TUYb4

My dinner’s about ready so I don’t have time to review this one but it may have extractable portions for you as it bills itself as the definitive movie of Flame and Frost.

Thanks!
I’m working on updating my GW1 Season 1 Movie video by adding more story cutscene footage! I’ll let you guys know when it’s done here on this thread for those interested. =)

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

No, thanks. I’m not much for watching old gameplay videos. Been there, done that (in-game).

Good luck, though.

Fair enough =)

Hey guys!
I am super excited to continue the story for Season 3.
I hope they add more story content cause I enjoy it.

Do you think there will be 8 episodes for this season or more?
Any theories to what will happen next episode?

So when we defeat more Elder Dragons, they will get stronger because they absorb the ability from the dead dragon… I wonder what the Ultimate Elder Dragon would look like when there is one left to face… Omg it’s going to be epic!

But wait, is it a bad thing to kill elder dragons?
What about the Marsaat and Marjory? What is going on with them?
And I am concerned for Rytlock Brimstone. I want to know what trouble he has gotten himself into… And is Kaz cheating on Marji? We havnt seen her in a while.

I love the drama between Player character and Bram. I love Drama PERIOD!
Specially one that involves my char directly =) This is going to be interesting.

Oh I hope we get to fight both dragons instead of watching them both kill each other. I enjoyed the Mordermoth Elder dragon battle but it didnt feel like a dragon battle but the mechanics where good.

Oh I hope they have more boss battles. I think Season 3 lacks Boss battles. We got like one…. By fighting the Ice guy in ep 3. I think Season 2 had more boss battle than HoT storyline. (I’m of course not talking about the open world Events)

I wish ArenaNet pumps more content quicker all this wait killing me! xD

joneirikb.7506:

Not had a problem with this myself, and I’ve believed for years that I had to hold in the jump button to get higher jumps in the game (only checked and found it to be false after reading this thread). Personally have no problems with how it is now.

Options are good, if it isn’t a lot of work for ANet hoping they implement the suggestion for having a mappable button and disable the double jump. Wouldn’t use it myself, but for others sure.

Have couple of friends myself that has this trouble, and I never could figure out how they did that. Know they would be glad to see this.

One suggestion I’d make is to try to change jump away from SPACEBAR, as I find on many keyboards spacebar is a sluggish and sticky button. Using ALT myself, and find even that to be a bit stickier than I’d like. Try mapping it to a key like V or something, and see if that helps, as with a more responsive button it is easier to tap and get good results.

Thing is if they give us the option to keybind the activation of gliding, we can map it to whatever we like so the choice would be ours and would fit our preferences.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

I didn’t watch the whole thing, but nothing before The Secret of Southsun?

If you find any youtube videos someone made with footage that shows cutscenes and dialogues of Season 1 story that I have not used then please be sure to send me the link so I may extract the footage and add it to my Season 1 Movie video.

It was not easy for me to find these footage and edit them together in a coherent storytelling way cause most of the video footage I find people are using on youtube have commentary on which defeats the purpose of the (All Cutscene) Style I’m going for.

So far the video I compiled from other channels and edit are the major and most important story parts that everyone should watch before playing GW2 Season 2 story. I hope you enjoy it and please keep me updated if you find more videos I can use to add too this Movie so we can share with the community. As they say, Sharing is Caring. =)

Currently, looking at the Dev Tracker Thread, you’ll notice that it’s difficult to follow and find the Dev reply you are looking for on the specific thread YOU want.

Please Watch this short 59 second video that demonstrates how this can be improved:

Thank you for your time.

faunabay.9320:

Thank you all. I wish it were different but I’ve read about and understand why we can’t go through season 1 now. And you’ve all given me a better idea of how long it would take me to leisurely get through season 2. So that’s what I’ll do. ;-)

Wait!!!

Before you play Season 2….
I compiled a 2hour video on Season 1 cutscenes you should watch first to know what happened in Season 1 and to get to know the characters better.

Also the story goes in this order:

Season 1 → Season 2 → Heart of Thorns → Season 3

So be sure to watch this video before playing Season 2.

kcotterill.5396:

My wife and I are creating a story and trading cards as a reward system for our daughter that has Autism Spectrum Disorder. She is 8 has difficulties with staying on task in school. We have tried various reward systems in the past with mixed success. This attempt is specifically designed around her interests (reading fantasy stories and collecting things).

The idea is to write a story and create trading cards of the characters, locations, items (fiery dragon sword!) from the story. Each day she will receive a reward if she earns enough stickers from her teacher. The reward will either be another chapter of the story (about 1-2 pages per chapter) or another card from the most recent chapter.

I played GW2 from release for awhile then didn’t play for a few years. I have been getting back into it. We are both somewhere between atrocious and abominable artists so we are using GW2 characters and screen captures as the artwork and trading cards.

I am looking for some help on a couple of items.

1. The story is set in a world stuck in eternal winter. What are some cool locations that I could take some screen grabs from in the Shiverpeaks for the trading cards and/or can help give some inspiration for story points? I did world completion years ago and I don’t really remember most of the locations.

2. My daughter loves fairies and horses/unicorns. I don’t think those exist at all anywhere. Am I mistaken? It would be nice to do some screen grabs of some fairies or something similar. If only she loved dolyaks…

3. I was thinking of using the Claw of Jormag as the main adversary in the book (Dragon+Winter). I was also thinking of using an Icebrood Seer as one of the major adversaries. I wasn’t able to find a female looking icebrood that could work for another major adversary. Does anyone have any recommendations for enemies or character models of unique or interesting looking ice characters? I was considering a female Elementalist using Frost Aura or something as well.

4. As I mentioned, my daughter loves unicorns and I just recently realized that The Dreamer exists. I am now going to try to work on getting The Dreamer to have as part of the story and as a trading card. What is the best path to follow to work on a legendary? I don’t have much gold so I am probably going to save what I have to buy The Lover. I assume just farming high level areas for the T6 mats?

Thank you for any guidance anyone can provide. I really appreciate it!

Your love and effort for your daughter as a parent makes me want to hug you!
You’re such a good parent <3

Thanks for understanding guys.
I really do hope adding these options is as easy and simple fix so that it could be implemented soon as possible cause I really love this game and this is like the one thing that is bothering me. HoT came out months ago and well, that’s a long time having to deal with it.

Donari.5237:

Any suggestions? I don’t need exact spec breakdowns, just “this brand PC with this card and drive configuration” would do.

Thanks!

I know this isn’t what you’re asking for but…
If you ever decide you’d like too learn, I would love to teach you how you can identify which PC components are compatible with each other and how you can compare them when you want to go shopping. A well informed shopper is a smart shopper =)

Let me know if you want by adding me on skype.

If you’re interested just make sure you remind me and we can talk about it on voice chat It’s no trouble, I genuinely enjoy helping people with computer stuff likke this. I find it fun and relaxing and yet Exciting!!!

@ Just a flesh wound.3589

Thank you for proving my point that I’m not the only one having an issue with glider.
I hope ArenaNet can seriously fix the problem.
I played this game for such a long time and this gliding system still causes issues for me. If it’s so hard to add simple basic options that lets us keybind glider, then at least give us the option to disable it entirely. (Though that would be bad when you need it while falling) but I’ll take that than nothing. “Go for the Gold” Achievement jumping puzzle doesnt have glider disabled and certain jumping platforms I always mess up because of the dumb glider getting triggered. It’s frustrating. This isn’t something I can just “L2P” this is something that mechanically interferes with gameplay and can be avoided if the option to keybind glider was available.

Is it because you refuse to try to not trigger the glider? Because you’ve never mentioned that you have any of the mentioned reasonable excuses to not be able to reliably tap the spacebar to jump; just that you’re set in your ways from other games where holding the spacebar means a longer jump. And that reason is a L2P issue. Please explain in better detail how you don’t fall into the “has L2P issues” crowd with this.

Because if it was the game’s code, everyone would have issues with it. And considering the forums aren’t flooded with comments on it, a majority of players do not have the same issue. Which means many keyboard and many internet connections are able to handle it. Which means for a majority of players, the issue you describe is an L2P issue. So do you have a bad keyboard, a bad internet connection, some physical disability that makes single tapping hard for you?

I have tried and I am still trying and I still have issues with it mechanically. Again a lot of people have issues with this I am not the only one. There should be no excuse to not improve on the gliding mechanics by giving us options to keybind it so that it wouldnt interfere with gameplay of others. This is clearly a mechanic issue that can be fixed by giving players the choice/option to keybind glider. If you don’t want the option then you don’t have to use it but at least people like me have the option to switch our glide activation method that better suits our needs when playing the game.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that some things you can’t L2P because mechanical interference? It is ridicuous if you think this is a L2P issue when clearly this issue did not exist before gliding was introduced. Now it effects people and while some can adopt to the changes, not all can because it still gets in the way. We shouldnt have to worry about “Will I accidentally glide if I make that jump?” when making jumps… We should just be able to jump and not worry about glider accidentally possibly activating… I want these 2 mechanics separate keys… Is that so hard to just add that option?

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Manasa Devi.7958:

My guess is that the clothes they converted to tonics have issues that make them unsuitable for use in combat. I can’t think of another reason why they weren’t just converted to outfits.

(This comment assumes that non combat tonics are significantly cheaper to make than outfits).
I’ve always assumed it was cost and time and the wish to move on to making completely new outfits. There is also the problem of doing all the work to convert them over and whether or not ANet get paid. If ANet charges for that time and work then people who bought the original town clothes will be angry because they are getting charged twice. If they give them away, then they put in a lot of time doing unpaid work. If they charge some people and give them away free to others then they’ve are underpaid, especially since they could have spent the same amount of time making brand new outfits and charging full price to all. I suspect ANet wished to sidestep the whole issue of whether or not they would charge for remade town clothes and move on to a sure thing.

Well they did put the time and effort to convert towncloth into endless usable potions and that didn’t do anything to help them get paid. They could have just left them unusable and they didn’t. (The Towncloths your char gets when you first make a char back then) so I don’t see why not just update them to outfits you get for free instead since you do get them for free originally and in a form of outfit it can introduce new players to the Outfit UI and might boost sales on new Outfits in gemstore? Just a thought.

Healix.5819:

DreamyAbaddon.3265:

But I cant seem to get my town cloth tonic on my new char?

The trader only lets you recover what your character had. Characters created after the wardrobe don’t have town clothes.

Ah! Okay that is what I wanted too know.
Thanks!

Also thanks everyone for letting me know I can buy them in TP for copper.
This is so sad though… Towncloths I love them. Why couldnt they make them Armorskin or at the very least turn them into Outfits?

Hey here’s an idea!
ArenaNet why don’t you Introduce new players with Outfits by making Towncloths free Outfits for new characters? =) This way if they want more Outfits they can buy more in GemStore later?

(btw I do hate Outfits and prefer ArmorSkins but this is just an idea to keep the Towncloths at least relevant and useable even in combat)

^-^ Just a thought…

This isn’t a L2P issue…
This is a System/Mechanic issue which can be solved by adding the options neccessary so all players can use the keys that works best for them.

Gryphon.2875:

I’m all for options. When the game started, I had a problem with AoE skills due to my really bad hands using the mouse. I even stopped playing for awhile. Between then and now, they added the option to snap AoE circles to target, which I happily use now to “mouseless” target my AoEs. Options, people! They’re awesome!

So, yes, options are always good. Personally, I love jump-and-hold, because it works for me, but having an option for other people to change it just for them would be awesome.

Indeed! Options are good! That’s is my point!
I’m glad they added the snap AoE circle to target option for players like you who needed it. And I’m glad you enjoy the current glide system. I just hope they add more options on how we get to activate glider cause that is killing the game for me with current system. Clearly this wasn’t an issue until they added the gliding system and now I just can’t for the life of me stand it anymore. It’s broken for me. The current system doesn’t feel natural to how I used to play it. I hope they give us more options so we can choose HOW we want to activate glider.

Choices ArenaNet. Give us Choices! Let us decide what feels natural when it comes to activating glider.

I made a new character. All my old char have endless towncloth tonic.
But I cant seem to get my town cloth tonic on my new char? Or am I doing something wrong?

DreamyAbaddon.3265:

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

DreamyAbaddon.3265:

No this is so dumb!
When I do long jumps I like holding down the spacebar!
That is how I play games that have Jump…

You use the controls wrong so the game is being dumb? Ok…

Lahmia.2193:

Another l2p issue. You’re used to holding spacebar despite the fact it doesn’t add any distance to the jump.

Exactly. Learn not to hold space bar for jumping. Problem solved.
Most jumping puzzles disable gliding anyway..

I’m NOT using the controls wrong noob.
This is how I use the controls since GW2 beta when doing jumping puzzles. This is how I played it before the stupid gliders came into the game. I shouldn’t be forced to use a jump key any different because they added a gliding option which btw still cannot be disabled by choice.

Problem is people play and use keys differently and this is how I use it.
This system is BROKEN…
It needs FIXING…
Best FIX is to ADD 3 Options I suggested:

Option#1 – Double-tap spacebar to glide
Option#2 – Hold spacebar to glide
Option#3 – Keybind a key to glide

PROBLEM SOLVED….
Seriously…

If you like how it is now then great… But I don’t and I’m not the only one… I mess up a lot because of this stupid gliding system and my suggestion simply adds options for players to play the way they want that works best for them. What works best for me is double tapping spacebar and/or keybinding glider to avoid turning my jumps into glide when doing jumping puzzles.

So because you’re too stubborn to evolve your key usage, you expect Anet to change it around you?
edit: and yes I used to have this problem, I would hold space for too long. However I’ve gotten used to it now.

I’m NOT being stobborn. I’m being reasonable!
I’m not asking them to change the system, I’m asking them to add options so that we the players can change it so the individual can choose what best suits them.

Why are you so against options?

I played GW2 since BETA… We didn’t have Gliders in Beta!
That is how LONG I have played this game. I tried to get “used to not holding down spacebar for long jumps” but it doesnt work for me! I always ALWAYS mess up because glider activation screws me over no matter how hard I try. This is clearly avoidable with the options I have presented. Giving us options to keybind glider activation and giving us the option to make double-tap spacebar to glide will solve this issue. This is a fact. When you give people choices then problems like this wouldn’t even occur in the first place. Just because the current option works for you doesn’t mean it should work for everybody else. No.. that is not how real life works. What works for some people wont work for others and that is why we need to encourage developers to give us options. This attitude of “Deal with it” or “Get good” is toxic and needs to die. It doesn’t encourage innovation or perfection. It encourages devs to be lazy about an issue that can easily be solved with a few codes…

Please fix this issue!
I am not the only one with this issue ArenaNet.
A lot of us has problems with this and the best solution is to give us the option to double-tap to glide and/or keybind the glide function.

Honestly, this isn’t something I can get used too with current system.
It simply doesn’t work for me at all. The system to me is broken because glide always triggers no matter how hard I try NOT to hold the stupid spacebar but it always triggers. Before gliding was introduced, I did not have this issue and I loved the jumping mechanics but now with gliding introduced, this issue always occurs and I hate it so much.

Consider this: Other people can’t adopt to this broken system. Give us options so it would work for everyone. The 3 options I mentioned honestly solves everything.

Dodging for example, double-tap to evade does not work well for me. Because you have the option to disable it and to keybind dodge, I never had any issues but there are other people who prefer the double-tap to dodge and that is wonderful for them! But it’s not for me! It would mess me up… This is the same case with the gliding system… Give us option to keybind glider and Give us the option to double-tap spacebar to glide and problem solved.

This is an issue for a lot of people…
Sure there are a lot of people who can adopt and like it how it is, but please do NOT ignore the people who cannot adopt to this and who mess up because of this dumb system. I assure you, it is not a waste of time or resources. Gliding is pretty much a vital part of your game and when it becomes something that interference with gameplay rather than enhancing it the gameplay experience then we have a problem. And this problem needs to be solved so please do not ignore it.

Also Not all Jumping Puzzle maps have glider disabled!
And even if I’m NOT doing a jumping puzzle, I do not want to accidently glide when I do not want too. ArenaNet your system is broken and the lack of choice on how we can glide is ruining the game for some of us. Please for the love of god, just add the 3 options I suggested so that EVERYONE is happy with the gliding system.

No this is so dumb!
When I do long jumps I like holding down the spacebar!
That is how I play games that have Jump…

You use the controls wrong so the game is being dumb? Ok…

Another l2p issue. You’re used to holding spacebar despite the fact it doesn’t add any distance to the jump.

Exactly. Learn not to hold space bar for jumping. Problem solved.
Most jumping puzzles disable gliding anyway..

I’m NOT using the controls wrong noob.
This is how I use the controls since GW2 beta when doing jumping puzzles. This is how I played it before the stupid gliders came into the game. I shouldn’t be forced to use a jump key any different because they added a gliding option which btw still cannot be disabled by choice.

Problem is people play and use keys differently and this is how I use it.
This system is BROKEN…
It needs FIXING…
Best FIX is to ADD 3 Options I suggested:

Option#1 – Double-tap spacebar to glide
Option#2 – Hold spacebar to glide
Option#3 – Keybind a key to glide

PROBLEM SOLVED….
Seriously…

If you like how it is now then great… But I don’t and I’m not the only one… I mess up a lot because of this stupid gliding system and my suggestion simply adds options for players to play the way they want that works best for them. What works best for me is double tapping spacebar and/or keybinding glider to avoid turning my jumps into glide when doing jumping puzzles.

Option 2 – Hold Spacebar to Glide

Problem solved!

this is actually how its working right now.

No kitten sherlock…
I don’t like Option 2….
For those who like it we should keep it as an OPTION… I would prefer using the double-tap spacebar to glide and other people prefer the keybind gliding. My suggestion is have 3 options so everyone is happen. I am certainly not happy with how gliding works currently. It ruins jumping puzzles for me.

This is what ArenaNet needs to do instead to fix the problem:

Option 1 – Double Tab Spacebar to Glide
Option 2 – Hold Spacebar to Glide
Option 3 – Select a keybind to Glide

PROBLEM SOLVED!
EVERYONE HAPPY! =)

Here are Options that I want to see added too the game:

Option 1 – Double Tab Spacebar to Glide
Option 2 – Hold Spacebar to Glide
Option 3 – Select a keybind to Glide

Problem solved!

Option 1 – Double Tab Spacebar to Glide
Option 2 – Hold Spacebar to Glide
Option 3 – Select a keybind to Glide

BINGO! PROBLEM SOLVED!
EVERYONE HAPPY! =)

I know Colin Johanson left ArenaNet but does he at least still play Gw2 the game?
I mean it is a good game and he did make it…
