Guild Wars 2

BrotherBelial.3094:

~snipped for cleanliness~

So ANet are trying to get them into other game modes to keep them occupied by making things harder to get by putting them behind a grind wall. It’s all just busy work.

Yeah, I think I just decided to refuse to do all that “busy work” and not worry about Legendaries anymore. I’ll look at it as time and gold saved for other things.

Ok I Did It.2854:

That old saying, if its not broken don’t try and fix it.

Ah, but Anet’s policy seems to be “If it’s not broken, fix it until it is.”

Smooth Penguin.5294:

Just a flesh wound.3589:

They also have a high incidence of knee problems.

Who needs knees when you can have mounts? Just saying.

I see. So this is actually a cleverly disguised mounts thread.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

I seem to have missed this item this morning. My apologies.

You’re fired, now get back to work.

But we run everywhere….

All my asura wants is to look feminine, not human.

Gaile Gray.6029:

It’s important to note, though, that they have a very explicit set of guidelines on how they perform their job. Hey, I wrote the policies, so as you can imagine they’re 107 pages long, with 3,201 bullet points.

By the Alchemy! I’d not want to be in on that presentation.

Maybe, just maybe, Wild-Eye Miller is right about the Gnasblades.

“You can’t stop two Gnashblades!”

I’m fine with raids being hard and exclusionary. What I’m not fine with is lore being locked behind raids. Yeah, I know there are workarounds, but that’s beside the point.

My sincere condolences, and thanks for letting us know.

Too many times fellow gamers disappear and we never know what happened to them.

I got mine after about 8 kills. I’ve heard that some people got theirs in less time. RNG is a right kitten sometimes.

Shademehr.1397:

I guess the lesson you learned was to actually read the patch notes. It’s a good lesson to learn, especially when you go to do something like purchase a home or a car and you really SHOULD be paying attention to the fine print.

TIL: An online video game should be treated just like buying a home or a car.

TheNecrosanct.4028:

~snip~

With all due respect, ANet, this is not going to get me play WvW, let alone like it. It just made me drop all legendary aspirations alltogether.

~snip~

This pretty much sums up my thoughts on the matter.

Spiders. My biggest fear will always be spiders.

I blame Tolkien for this.

As a necromancer, I don’t even….

~shrugs~

BunjiKugashira.9754:

Pyromaniac – Burn x creatures to death. (Actually the counter goes up if the creature dies while you have a burning stack on it)

Blood Bank – Bleed x creatures to death.

Venomous – Poison x creatures to death.

Goat – Complete every jumping puzzle. I still can’t believe that there’s no meta-achievement and title for this. You could even award a boot skin with little wings on it.

Big Game Hunter – Kill every world boss.

Jack of all trades – Have one character of each class at lvl 80.

For earnable titles, these are really good!

Mezamizen.7836:

what?? i missed it again, played for gw since the first prophecy, got an gw2 account linked with the 1, and this account is new since christmas where i took the extension, waiting for the katana for longggg time and missed it twice! am so sad, do a newsletter next time :p

Yeah you missed it…by four months. That’s on you.

I got mine during the summer sale last year, look for it then.

Lots of great ideas here!

As I mainly play Asura, I think Intellectual Giant might be fun as well.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Charr Warrior: Biff! Bam! Pow!

Ha! I love it!

I just saw a Charr in Rata Sum named “Cat Simulator”

So I was looking the title list, and I realized there really wasn’t anything that fit my Asura Necromancer (although I am currently using Killer Queen because of the song). Since she’s dressed in Heritage armor, and wears reading glasses, I wish I could have a title like…

Dark Librarian

What custom title would you choose for your characters?

Aenaos.8160:

Does this even drop from the pods?
I never had a problem with any of the other specialization weapon parts that drop from noxious pods,usually took 5 to 10 pods,this time I’ve opened 60 and still I got none drop.
Is this even in the loot tables from pods,and if yes what is the reasoning for making it’s drop rate so much smaller than the other weapon parts?

Interesting, I’m having this very same problem with the Machined Greatsword Hilt. However, you say you got it withing 5 to 10 pods?

EDIT: Well go figure, I found one and completed Dark Harvest tonight. ~shrugs~

You should have played during opening week, THAT was hard.

I don’t have a advice that others haven’t already said, but I’m here to tell you OP, as someone is definitely NOT hardcore, elite, etc., you will learn these maps, and they will become easier to you.

Caveat: I do run a reaper with all berserker stats, but the use of minions helps keep the focus off of me while I DPS the mobs down. I actually look forward to jumping into a crowd of Pocket Raptors.

Yeah, as I’ve said in other places, the gold/gems exchange rate is a bit steep for me.

I’m one of those rare birds that likes to spend cash for things as opposed to a credit/debit card, as the cash helps me with restraint (a hard lesson learned from the 2008 crash). Fortunately, there are Gem Cards at Best Buy and other places, so I buy one every now and then. In fact, I just got a $25 card last week.

Those prices aren’t changing anytime soon….I hope.

Khisanth.2948:

Endless Soul.5178:

Ok, so volunteering to lead the squad results in a headshot. Good to know!

That has nothing to do with leading or not. Just results from failing to break during the attack.

~whoosh~

Ok, so volunteering to lead the squad results in a headshot. Good to know!

We’ve been salvaging materials from gear for 11 years. You don’t mess with tradition.

Amaranth.1985:

GW2 has never been about that, and if they change it now, they would alienate the vast majority of their player base.

Including me.

I don’t mind it at all.

My heart belongs to original Lion’s Arch in Guild Wars 1. All other versions are just….~shrugs~

Meanwhile over on the Heart of Thorns board: There is too much healing in this game

Diversity, isn’t it grand?

Tekoneiric.6817:

Urdfexe.9147:

Do the quests there and it will not be contested.

Doing the mission leaves you less time to do the tangled depths. The tangled depths is only open for a short amount of time and the map only has 3 waypoints. I’ve done full map complete and it was contested.

That’s why you do that event before Vinewrath starts

If it’s where I think it is, there’s 3 or 4 of those faces above the entrance to that mini dungeon.

I never even noticed them until last Saturday when they were pointed out to me.

They might get around to it…after it’s destroyed

Tekoneiric.6817:

The magic carpet works well with an Asura character.

Proving once again, Asura are the best at everything.

So OP, what do you have on the Trading Post that’s so threatened by the Tarir Chests?

With danger and death lurking around every corner in Tyria, it’s really no wonder there are taverns all over.

I like your ideas OP.

PyrateSilly.4710:

Annnnndddd the OP stopped posting here a day ago. Everyone is now arguing without the OP ………

No we’re not! You didn’t see us! You can’t prove anything!

Moooom!

Anyhow, this thread was entertaining in a “I can’t believe how obtuse some people can be” kind of way, but it’s time to say goodbye to it. Goodbye thread! ~waves~

The only one missing in my lineup is a Norn. I’m in the process of formulating a character, but I’m not quite ready materialize him just yet (need to buy another character slot).

One only needs to look at OPs signature “I’m only here because sometimes I just like to watch things burn.” to understand what this thread is really about.

Hmm, this probably won’t very useful to the OP, but as a power reaper, I use ascended berserker everything (well, I don’t have the ascended aquabreather yet). Yeah, I’m a bit crazy.

However, I tend to use minions a lot, so the mobs focus on those while I do my necromancer/reaper things on the mobs. I’m hardly ever getting killed, and if I AM killed, it’s usually because I aggroed too many mobs at once.

Mea.5491:

Hm, did I miss something? Why do people like Canach so much? :O

Personally, it’s not that I like Canach, but I LOVE his interactions with Anise.

torgar.4015:

I really don’t understand your dislike for this farm tbh…

When someone dislikes a certain farm, usually it’s because they have something on the Trading Post that’s being affected by said farm.

Of course, they’ll never admit that.

I’m just waiting for the day when Taimi invents a machine that turns the entire new guild into Asura.

Vayne.8563:

Casuals have already forced HoT to change, signifying most people really don’t want challenge. They want to relax after a hard day at work.

The age of the average gamer is over 30 now.

That would be me as I’m 47 now. I really do just want to relax after a long day at work. I don’t even raid, I only do fractals once in a while, and only did World vs. World just enough to buy Gift of Battle. I’m the very epitome of “casual”.

However, I was not one of those demanding Heart of Thorns be “less hard”. A jungle should be dangerous. A jungle should be deadly.

So if I’m understanding your wall of text correctly, you’re asking for PvP in open world PvE?

I certainly hope that never happens.

This is why I will never spend gems, obtained either with real money or in-game gold exchange, on Black Lion Keys.

I ended up “settling” for Eternity’s Guard.

TheMagickDoll.7594:

or at least to be able sit in a chair.

Asura CAN sit in chairs, which is yet more proof that Asura are awesome at everything.

Very nice!

Now I have hope that someday I can silence that most annoying weapon ever, The Dreamer, without muting everything else.

Nocturnal.5023:

Still remember the time when I swam underground to discover a hidden area which looks beautiful with the crystals and all, with a secret jumping puzzle that led to the secret asuran dancing room with an achievement. We need to appreciate this kind of design more.

Yep, that was an amazing discovery. Immediately told my guild when i surfaced and saw all those crystals,and waited for one of them to show up before proceeding. I had heard about the dance room beforehand, but didn’t know it was at the end of the crystals.

A good day indeed.
