Guild Wars 2

I looked once how much they cost and decided it’s not worth it.

Reminds me of playing against Vizunah Square [FR], with all their Canadian players who conquer most of the map while everyone else in Europe is sleeping.

Had also issues with The Greater Good, glad to read that something is done about it.

I decided to try the other option and protect the people of the city, until I found this thread I regreted it, thinking that saving Quinn might have been easier. Playing a Necromancer. That was the mission when I finally decided that personal story is not worth playing it, it is so painful that so many of them are way too hard.

For some people getting rewards is an important part of their fun.

Have not even tried that one, heard so much and was already quite fed up from other personal story missions with to many opponents (like the quest when you join the Priory as a Norn, which I only could get done with frends helping me).

Female norn have too small feet… but maybe that’s true for all female characters in this game.

I am glad that the Norn have the Carlton as their dance; best dance in the game!

Not me, I decided to go with minimum height.

I am fed up with the opponents in personal story missions. I don’t mind it if it would just be a little challenging, but it is rediculus how it currently is. I get that ArenaNet things dungeons should be hard, that can be fun, but why do it feel like I have to ask for most of my personal story mission my friends if they have time to help me on this. And the stupid NPCs that are there to help are no help at all.

they’ve no incentive to stay

How is that, you still get points and everything if you stay even if you lose?

Same here, error 42.

Is OP just asking to get this for one class? I mean such an option would be a game changer in sPvP (especially in Tournaments) where you could time much better how long one had for the respawn.

Not sure about the monthly, get that pretty fast, but I wonder if this might be true for the lifetime survivor (or maybe I experience there just a bug).

The game is still new, give it a few month and you will be all alone in the jumping puzzles there.

One can get so many skill points in this game that it really should be no problem to get them all, regardless which one is the expensive one.

The proplem isn’t the experience gain in this game, the real issue is that some players think they have to rush through zones instead of enjoying the game.

Never saw the Lonely Boy vid before, had to search for it… and no, the Norn dance looks for me just like the Carlton and nothing like whatever I just saw.

It is kind of free to play, there is no sub. No need here to give it away for free too, wouldn’t mind if more MMO companies will use that model in the future.

I still have a sub for SWTOR.

I played the original Guild Wars back in 2005, I didn’t liked it. Now with GW2 I am totally happy, it is finally a game how MMOs should be and I really hope that more companies take some ideas from ArenaNet. Sure, it has some flaws (nothing is ever perfect), but I think it has a very solid fondation on which ArenaNet can build in the future (looking forward to expansions already).

The patchwork is pretty obvious on the map, but actually playing it feels not that bad. I mean if you never look on the map and just go where you like you will never think about how squared all the zones are.

Hey OP maybe you should change to a low-pop server

Or just during off hours, like in the middle of the night during the week.

I think in a few month we will see more events failing even during prime time, because currently everybody and their aunt are plaing, even some PvP players might actually explore the world a little and not just play PvP/WvW.

Have already watched this review from Angry Joe.

The idea of just having not more than one phantasm, which is stronger then they are now, is something I like. But maybe it should be also excluded from the shatter, of maybe at least from a few shatters (Cry of Frustration and Diversion could be the ones that leave the phantasms intact, and Mind Wrack could let the phantasm count as 2 or 3 clones when it explodes).

We have already waypoints to travel fast, sure. But why is that an argument against mounts?

There are already swiftness buffs to travel fast too, so how would having mounts make there any difference?

MMOs need time sink, sure. But they also need money sinks, and since the argument for the time sink is not working (see waypoints & swiftness buff) there is no reason not to have mounts as money sink in the game.

The lore can be expanded, just because we don’t have storie about mounts doesn’t say that it is possible to use them in the world. And my Norn would certainly consider it as part of her growing legacy if she is the first Norn who ever rides a beast, especially if it is something truely exotic.

Failsociety.4569:

I am 100% for Mounts. At level 80.

Edit: 100% Against Mounts in any PvP.

Wouldn’t mind to see mounts in WvW, but I could live without it if I just get mounts!

Still have a sub for SWTOR, not going to change that.

Some people like to shatter their illusions and that is fine, so it would have been nice if that option would have been completly as utility skills and that the class skills would really something every Mesmer player could find useful.

Also with having the shatter effects as utilities, players with shatter builds could just take the shatter they like most and it would be easy to add different shatter utilities in the future.

Maybe ArenaNet had just no good idea what the Mesmer should have as class abilities and made the system because of that so bad.

I get plenty of drops at each zone, funny thing is I prefer green ones and somehow most drops are green dyes, guess I am just very lucky with that.

Fan / Warfan (as main-hand weapon and off-hand shield or something like that).

Jacina.7083:

So why does it never come up again on my phantasms?

After it goes down, it never comes back up, at least on my phantasms.

Report it as bug then.

Rhyno.7084:

What they should have done is just given him a +20% crit damage buff rather than the boon. Can’t be stolen, can’t be cleansed, can’t interfere with retaliation. Best solution IMO.

It could be broken then by people who manage to give the fury buff in addition to it.

I think the way it is now is okay. Sure, people can steal it for a short time, but that is fine and surely part of the game balance.

Norn cannot take Skritt, they have the option to take Gnarl, that questline should lead to the Dredgehaunt Cliffs.

As European the reset is for me in the middle of the night…

Maybe instead of having a LFG tool ArenaNet could implement a waiting room for each dungeon which could be server neutral, so that people who would like to do the dungeon go in and see who is waiting there and still have to talk with the other players to group up.

Chessrock already said all to say about the city. Guess the spot on your map will be used as part of the starting zone one day.

ROOK! Why the frack to people always call me Chessrock?!

Reading is a funny thing, we don’t bother with every single character, we just asume what might be written there.

Chessrock already said all to say about the city (maybe one could add that you will find a city gate in the Silvary starting zone to that city and tengu standing there, but you can’t enter for now). Guess the spot on your map will be used as part of the starting zone one day.

I suggest you go into the heart of the Mists and just tinker there with your build until you think you got something, then maybe test it in PvP there (if PvP is your thing, if not you just hope that your build holds any water).

What crit chance do the illusions have? I ask because I would like to know how often I can expect Sharper Images (Dueling 15 trait) to trigger, or one have to take Fantasmal Fury to make it useful? Has the precision I have on my character any impact on the illusions?

What about secret society do you don’t understand?

Norn Mesmer (currently doing Artificer and Tailor)

Blink was one of the first utilities I took… man, was I disappointed with that utility.

I took raven, and have also not seen anything in the story that seemed related to that choice. But there is one little thing I would like to ask, sometimes when I discover a new part of a map my character says: “By Raven, there is no end to Tyria.” So my question, does this “By Raven” is changed if you took another spirit at the start?

Thank you ArenaNet from me too, I am really glad that after years finally a MMO got the things right that are important to me in MMOs.

Edge.4180:

I just mark them as “scamming”, since ultimately their goal is to acquire your credit card number and other personal information.

Currently I report it as spamming, because that is all I see, don’t know if it is actually a scamming (and will never find out, since I don’t use such services).

PvE & WvW: Scepter/Torch – Greatsword
sPvP: Scepter/Torch – Sword/Pistol

I bought them all nevertheless… had enough skill points for everything there is and still plenty unused.

I also would like to see such an option.

amradio.2513:

No matter how good anything is ppl will always complain. There is no such thing as perfect, and it is painfully easy to be critical.

I see nothing wrong with pointing out flaws in a game I like, if I wouldn’t care I would not post such things… but currently I am faszinated how few things I find annoying (I play MMOs for a long time now, and this seems like the most perfect MMO I have seen so far… but maybe it is because it fits so well my playstyle).
