Guild Wars 2

PopeUrban.2578:

It’s a kind of “choose your own adventure” difficulty scheme. Early on it’s very easy, but by the time you get to the end of the main line, do dungeons, fractals, etc. you’re going to see the challenge creep up.

Don’t try to think about it like WoW, where leveling is the core experience. Think of leveling as the tutorial that’s more about exploration than challenge, and the instances and level 80 areas, instances, world bosses, etc. as the challenge.

Literally quoting a dev here,

“When we designed raids, we thought How hard can we make these without them being literally impossible?”

There still is hope you can get the usb fixed.

I have used a chain called uBreakiFix. I have had great service and very reasonable prices for other needs.

Then again a full time weeks work at minimum wage will let you get another new $200 laptop!

What actually happened was, there are little skinny tabs in the middle of the usb slots that insert into whatever it is youre plugging into it and my headphones for some reason “held on” to them and when I unplug my headphones they ripped those tabs out with the headphone usb connection… I dont think they can fix that\

I should start a gofundme for a new gaming computer. :’D

Linfang.1087:

I am more impressed you got GW2 to even run on a $200 Walmart laptop.

1366×720 lowest settings subsample 5 fps

because my usb ports on my 200$ walmart laptop broke

:’(

I mean, I can try to touchpad my way through raids. but kitten .

This game is b2p not f2p anyways.

why are not more people wearing wings?

Because theyre ugly.

duh

I I.7359:

Hi,

Just like the title says, implement dishonor. I just got off 2 × 4v’s in a row.

I’d just like to add one additional thing. Please carry dishonor into the PVE realm , as in if you get dishonor you can only get basic rarity drops for a week , etc. or something similar.

Thanks

you should explain what dishonor is instead of expecting everybody know what it is.

Harper.4173:

Are we forgetting berserker mode lasts for 15 seconds? That’s not a lot of time to do that much. It’s mostly a one and done deal.

Its on 5 second recharge. You can reduce recharge with burst mastery as well as a trait in the berserker line that recharges it instantly on kill. Plenty of skills to build adrelaine back up to use it repeatedly.

desu desu desu

Choppy.4183:

Watch it again and take note of the health of those golems before the shot.

Hes still not talking about the berserker f1. As berserkers only has 1 bar of adrenaline and he says it takes 3.

Menadena.7482:

Let me guess, everything just stopped then everything took place quickly?

No, everything was fine aside from me not being able to move. I know how those types of things look, and its not that.

The last time it happened I stood there for 20 seconds just to see if it’d last that long, used a move skill and got out.. The bug is exactly how I described it, nothing less nothing more.

What you described isnt a “server hiccup” anyway, thats packetloss.

I make lfgs with the description “noobs join first timers welcome” and I still end up with 80s with 10k achievement points in zerk gear.

I enjoy running new people through the dungeon, so I make specific names to find new people. It doesnt make me “mad” or anything but i set out and make that lfg for specific reason. When a bunch of 80s join for ac story it kind of ruins the goal for me.

They need to use that sound effect air horn thats in a bunch of pop songs.

Helicity.3416:

1) it needs adrenaline to fire, preferably three bars
2) it is a thin narrow line which pierces with a very long cast, making it difficult to hit where you like, or at all.
3) it’s not even close to the damage output of a well placed necro well.

Pretty sure youre talking about the standard f1 burst and not the berserker f1 burst.

They used it in the play video showing the berserker elite spec and you know that group of golems in heart of the mists to test aoe? It just about one shot that entire group.

I dont know if its going on with other classes, but since today on warrior, im getting stuck repeatedly and cant move until I use a move skill.

Im not snared, im not stunned, im not lagging (I have a command prompt open pinging google.com and another youtube.com and im casting skills just fine)

The “stuck” so far seems to last indefinately until you use a move skill. It ltierally happened 4 times in the last 5 minutes.

Im using axe/mace and GS and signet of might, signet of healing, signet of adrenaline, signet of rage and frenzy

It happened in silverwastes and also cathedral in malchors leap when i was farming veteran air elementals.

arms 2/2/3
strength 2/2/1
discipline 3/3/2

Ive only noticed it happen in pve

Every single time I get stuck, I will be unable to move until i use a heal skill.

Also [Rush] on GS has been completely missing the last couple days. Something can be standing still and itll stop running 10 feet in front of the target and just miss. sometimes it runs in a different direction than the target even is.

My guess is your headphones are playing mono even though gw2 is sending stereo.

SkullProX.7083:

If you spent even 300-400+gold for a dye, you are stupid

Think you’re just jealous.

So does everything have a staff now?

What?

You asked a question. I answered.

Blaine Tog.8304:

So does everything have a staff now?

no

Man I started this game with some other people and they all bought max char slots and made all their characters on day one because of “birthday gifts”

They were smart.

serenke.4806:

not a single iota of feeling rewarded for spending more time, being better (in pvp for example)

You mean other than the incoming leaderboards?

Lot of people saying the dye market is over inflated because some rare ones are expensive.

Thats like saying the car market is over inflated because theres rare cars being sold for a million.

Thats not how it works.

Paulytnz.7619:

I really don’t understand why there is always people who try to shoot something down or say “no” to things especially when it will have NO negative effect on the game. It really does make me wonder…….

Maybe they just like to argue for the sake of it?

People will oppose anything because theyre argumentative by nature. You can suggest drink water and theyll argue against it.

A long time ago before wallets existed I suggested gold be shared accross all characters and people were literally saying they prefer running to the bank for gold rather than have it shared across characters and they would never use such a system of shared gold.

People are argumentative. Pretty annoying.

Off topic, but I dont see the need for advanced keybinding with this few skills.

The only thing I can think of is binding ele atunement to side mouse buttons as well as utility.

im confused, are you complaining or not

put might stacks at 25 and toughness stacks at 25, and activate the banner of defense.

More hp can come from another warriors phalanx’s strength and strength banner which gives 10%into vitality.

with wvw buff youre at 45512 hp

combine with rampage, protection and use rampage leap finisher to get frost aura and charge into zerg. Rely on party for condi cleanse. Like, you just dont die. Can trade might signet for endure pain which probably will save more hp than the power >vitality conversion gives

Just random interesting. Youre pretty useless but fun nonetheless.

The thing that bothered me most was how incredibly stupid the dragons are.

They could literally fly into the bottom of an air ship to destroy them yet they hover right in front of the guns.

The design of arah was just terrible

The STORY was good, bu the dungeon design… just terrible.

I got to lvl 80 in 2 days with no tomes of knowledge.

Get artificing, jewelcrafting, and cooking to 400 with like 30g, and then use xp boosts to kill mobs with full bonus xp.

celebration booster, kill xp booster, killstreak booster, and the 30 minute xp booster and killing mobs 4 level higher than you gets you over half an xp bar PER MOB if they have full bonus xp.

This suggestion is 100% an art suggestion with no impact on anything.

But I’d like to occasionally have a sky that have absolutely 0 clouds. A night sky full of stars and colorful space gasses/planets could be nice for once.

I wish they also stopped your character from splatting on the ground

Ashen.2907:

Asking for everyone else in the game to be nerfed so that your vision of how group content should be played can be implemented is going to meet resistance.

Suggesting anything meets resistance.

When I suggested gold be shared across all characters everyone kittenponded was a naysayer.

Then came wallets, and justice was served.

edit: I cant say responded?

Zalladi.4652:

It would take just as long to have the map simply fade back to your character – it is the quick camera change from bird’s eye view to character eye-view that causes the frame issues, and removing the camera pan won’t change that.

I want it so closing the map with the m key or esc instantly brings your camera to where it was before your map was opened.

all “fading” “smooth animation” etc should just be disabled when closing the map

Its not a hard idea

Since my 200$ laptop sucks too much to frontline on my gaurd i decided to try full clerics with staff and mace/shield.

Every dodge roll I do heals for about 2,100 in an aoe, and with energy sigils on both weapon swaps thats pretty decent healing.

Empower heals aoe 3k abouts

shield 5 heals about 2k and blocks projecticles a little while

cone of healing heals for about 10k altogether in an aoe cone

that healing elite heals about 1,600 every 10 seconds

the passive traited f2 heals allies about 200 every second

and with soldier runes i have 3 shout utilities giving regen and protection stability whatnot

I dont know if Im helping more than I would be helping as a frontliner or backliner, but im definitely helping.

They should put open world content in line with the money you get from doing other things.

I don’t mean open world content should give you AS MUCH money as someone who is doing every dungeon every path on 8 different characters every day

But right now doing open world content in anywhere else other than silver waste is pretty useless.

I love gendarren fields and love doing the nebu terrace event, but It’d be nice if I actually got something worth while. I think there should be a level 80 currency that you can get from any event in the world.

Like you get 1 or 2 per event and perhaps 5 or 6 or a group event. and then exchange these in for skins or food or SOMETHING. even convert to gold at some cheap rate or something.

Bottom line is I’d love to do open world content if there was some better reward for it.

if you have the map open and then pan it and then close it before it closes it pans back to your location. i dont now if fps has anything to do with it but for me it takes a little over a second I think.

when get attacked in wvw or sometimes in the pve world that second it takes to pan the camera back to you could get you killed.

and if you dont think 1 second is significant, it is effectively a 1 second stun, which are definitely significant.

Crimson Clouds.4853:

It’s not a grind if you don’t have to do it. I’ve played many characters without crafting gear for them- I just used gear that dropped for me (and swapped when I found something with better stats), bought from vendors/renowned heart merchants and bought stuff from the TP.

In no way are you forced to craft for you character, in fact, it’s the more expensive route.

That being said, my first few characters I made I crafted almost everything on them. I didn’t find it difficult at all to maintain gear-level/crafting level relevant to my character. At every 10 levels I would do another 50 crafting levels, which meant that I was crafting stuff I could use each time. I sold the left-over gear I made, or salvaged if that was more profitable/useful for me.

I found crafting fun, and it adds another dimension to game play. Overall it gives players access to many account bound/time gated items in a more interesting way than just speaking to a merchankittens in with gathering, which in my opinion is one of the highlights of exploring as you are further interacting with your environment.

For me, there was no grind behind it as I didn’t have to tediously repeat certain tasks to be able to craft the gear I wanted. All the materials I needed dropped for me whilst doing events and exploring.

So, if you believe that crafting isn’t a positive experience/is a grind, what do you propose as a change or solution?

You cant get ascended armor without crafting. Unless you magically get the set you want dropped from npcs, anyway.

Effectively that means you cant have infusions on your armor without crafting, along with the minor stat increases.

Do you have more than one character per class?

The time played per character is basically the same thing if you dont.

Dawdler.8521:

Or you could simply toss some of your kitten. If you have 4 safe bags just to hold inventory and still cant manage the other 80 slots for loot because you are running out of space, you have way too much crap.

i have about 15 stacks of salvage kits and about 20 stacks of sigils since I carry around mob specific sigils (10% vs undead, etc) to switch between.

Then I have condi food, defense food, dps food. and I have powerful potions to go with the sigils “10%+ damage to xx mob”

birthday blaster, some toys, the random trophies you pick up, shovels, etc.

Its not just random kitten, its mostly kitten that I actually use and would be a bother to store in the bank.

And no, I didnt ask for legendary armor, I asked for exotic armor that you can combine to switch between stats.

Stop strawmanning

I have 3 different sets of gear and it takes up hella space in my inventory.

It’d be nice if I could MF it somehow where If I have a Berserker piece and a Soldiers piece I can combine them together and then right click them and select between the stats that I already had.

Even on my main with max bag slots and all 20 slot bags im running out of space.

“i want people to stop doing this”

“Let me explain how to do this so more people know how to do this”

When warriors are doing 46k with hundred blades why would you want anything else

Also, the way the forum works ( I think) Is if you even have 729 day old post, it will say say “1 year old” even though 730 days is 2 years.

No if you mouse over it gives date for example see picture.

Never knew that.

So after being gone along time and posting this before “wallets” were a thing

But your post history says you are not gone a long time. Wallet was out during your forum post history. So I am not sure what you want with that. Are you saying you made wallet? “The wallet was introduced in the Queen’s Jubilee release on August 6, 2013.” But you post many times in the last year.

The suggestion he made (linked in the OP) takes you to a post made 2 years ago. So regardless of how active he/she has been or when posted last this thread is still relevant (I think). :P

I have taken multiple breaks upwards of 8+ months. also, even though those things say “2 years” they are really closer to 3 years. I’ve been here since literally the first minute the servers opened.

xiune.9812:

You are not the brightest light bulb in the factory are you? You have to read the thread to see how things get modified as people add input. For example, one person suggested this idea may make for a fun “tower” type instance where people see how far they can get as a group without dyeing. there have also been talk of allowing limited item transfers, diss-allowing pvp, having it like hm in gw1, and other things. This is how ideas work, people state an idea and it gets input and is modified, you will learn this concept in kindergarten when you get there (sorry if I spoiled it). This is why you need to read the entire thread… not just the first post and start blabbing. As far as eve goes, if you are dumb in it or play anything more that 5.0 you risk losing everything, play the game if you don’t believe me. This fight alone cost 300k real life money http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2014/01/29/massive-eve-online-battle-could-cost-500000-in-real-money/ I would rather lose a gw2 character.
If any of those people had their clones on the local stations, they likely lost those too so bye bye skills (They are redoing clones so not sure how this would play out now but when that fight happened people lost skills that took a very long time to get). In gw2 skills are passively gained right now, a level 80 will have all the skills they want. This is not the case in games like EVE where it can take 25+ years to max skills (http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=1494071 ). If you cannot see why a chance to save skills would be welcome there but not needed here then you are just too dumb to be reasoned with. It sticks to the common theme in this thread, people doing dumb things need to lose items and there needs to be some type of risk to have diversity.

Add in a mode which will undoubtedly be hailed as the ‘real’ way to play, further dividing the community and marginalizing casual players, or anyone who doesn’t want hundreds or thousands of hours to be lost to a momentary lapse in attention?

Funny you say that as many have said there would be no people that wanted to play it.

All of that has absolutely nothing to do with the original post suggesting permadeath be an option.

You’ve derailed your own topic.

Also, you can’t even discuss without turning to insults.

So, meh. I’m done here.

xiune.9812:

AS I AM THE OP I KNOW WHAT WAS SAID BY THE OP!!!! there, now that I hope you read that READ EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE THREAD. Can I make it more clear? https://secure.hookedonphonics.com/offers/learn-to-read-scrn-2stp.aspx

I was using OP as in, the original post. Not Original poster.

The ORIGINAL POST suggests permadeath.

You then link Eve online which does not even have that mechanic.

What actually are you?
