Guild Wars 2

Sorry I miss-read this sentance:

Account.9832:

That way we wouldn’t have to worry about respawns / roaming creatures / other players using us as their involuntary tanks while we write the report.

I got the idea it would apply to PVP as well as I didn’t understand the ‘involuntary tanks’ part. So thank you for explaining this is not what you meant.

I am not sure this would work. In PvE it would simply mean you are then stuck in the middle of all the respawned mobs, or in PvP it means you have given every class stealth!

I am sure ArenaNet won’t mind if you are not stood on the exact spot the issue occurred.

There are a few questions that I think need answering.

Firstly why do you need to swap classes? There seems to be no push apart from if it is simply because you want to try something different, and if so why does it need to be instantly maximum level? What is it from your main character you are so attached to?

The whole world is designed for multiple characters per person. The huge variety of personal stories is one element you picked up on but what you didn’t mention is the events in the world. There are a lot of them meaning when you return to explore an area you are likely to see events that you did not see with your first character, which really does mean there is much less of a grind.

There is also the lack of endgame as a different stage, so experience and enjoying a new class happens from level one so going straight into maximum level is not required to get that new experience.

As for getting attached to one character surely that is to do with things such as equipment, achievements and other things of that nature. Those are nearly all either account bound or class specific. I am not sure what it is you would gain from switching that characters class that you would not have simply by creating an alternative character.

Looria I suppose I am just worried that stealth and poisons is not enough to make it stand out, nor enough to keep the class fun.

While I can understand balance may need to be adjusted for PvP I just do not want to give up the main part of my class that I love. While I am sure you do not hear other people complaining that another class can spam one skill I would imagine there are still complaints about other aspects of their design. I f we remove all aspects others dislike rather than working with them we end up with homogenisation and boredom.

All classes should have a different feel to them, something that makes them stand out. The thief’s initiative is what this class has, take that away and what are you left with? I am really not sure. A rather dull squishy warrior I suppose, that doesn’t sound like much fun to play.

I play a thief for the fast pace, the diving in and out of action and movement. I do not play it because it can kill another player in a few hits because I am never going to use that skill. I don’t PVP, as such I cannot comment much on balance or glass cannon builds. All I can say is there is more than one area of this game and that should be taken into consideration with all changes to classes.

Even then no class should have their main mechanic removed be based on the opinions of those who play against them. Only if the players of that class are not enjoying it, and I am sure that is not the case here.

I have found that I have only hand a handful of items I can use from map completion, it really is a bit disheartening to get the completion and then be handed stuff you either have to salvage or sell. I would love to use it!

Sorry it is just the ONLY thing that makes a legendary item different from others is the skin. You are not getting extra stats or anything else, just the skin and animation. So my confusion is based on wantIng to work towards something who’s only benefit you don’t like! It just seems strange thar’s all.

That’s what I mean if you did not like the skin of the legandary surely you pick another. Most classes weapon swap to some extent so perhaps see if other weapons you use look good as legendaries and if not the perhaps they aren’t the best thing for you to work towards.

Perhaps you could get up there if you were flying? Perhaps after being launched from some sort of catapult? hint

I am a little confused you are working towards an item which only benefit is the skin and effects but you don’t like them? Why would you choose that legendary to go for.

I am not sure there is really enough out there to discuss about guilds in general to warrant having it’s own forum. If you are looking for information about various features of the game the wiki is a great starting point.

As for upgrades such as ‘Politics 1’ these simply open the door to the other more tangible upgrades. If you look at their tootips it will stat what level they require so they can be built. It is simply a gating mechanism so the best upgrades take a good amount of time and influence to achieve.

I have no idea why these tools are not there. I assume they can if you had paid with real life money they would just refund the money not the gems. Why such a basic support feature is not in the game just baffles me.

Well why not spend some of your gold on a 12 solt invisible bag as it is the implemented solution to your issue. It a massive 21silver and you no longer have an issue!

It is something that has been implemented from the start. You may not like crafting but you do have to get your bags from somewhere, now just instread of buying all standard bags considered varying to buy some of the bags with specific uses as well.

Why not just put them in one of the items already made for this purpose such as an invisible bag made by either a tailor or leatherworker? There is also a metal equivelant although the name escapes me.

Put those items in an invisble bag and they will not be touched.

Surely your motivation to communicate and socialise is simply because you enjoy it. I really can not understand this odd mentality of the game having to shove you into situations. You want to talk to people, go right a head! Join a guild make friends talk to each other have fun together, make an impromptu party without even having to invite each other as you just run together chatting as you go while you have common goals.

While i can see you are easily able to be anti-social if you want to, this is a good thing! Not everyone is chatty everyday, I know I can be a right grumpy moose some days and still being able to play the computer game I enjoy with out my mood affecting others is good design.

There is lore hidden around the game, there are books scattered around Ebonhawke for instance with lore regarding the war between the Charr and Humans.

There is also the wiki if you want lore and lots of it outside of the game.

Have to admit I am as equally confused by this missing option. So much so that I actually avoid hairstyles with accesories just incase they later clash with my chosen colour scheme.

Hopefully this can be implemented in future.

I do not believe that PVE level should ever effect PVP. The two are just not related it would be like the loot table being based on the month the person you just killed was born in, it is just irrelevant.

Also how do you determine contribution? There is more to the game than simply DPS and I think that is making things such as contribution difficult to really gauge well.

Personally as I do not leave a zone until it is 100% and have so managed to avoid any bugged challenges I do not need this to indicate what I have left to do. However, as you tell I am a bit of a competionidt so for me that icon would be like a well done on the map and would just make me happy! So more than one reason to implement a great idea!

Oh I completely understand the basis of your suggestion for gold to be shared accross characters, I was just giving a personal (and very selfish, apparently two can play that game) take on the idea. Just incase ArenaNet do see it so they know there is another side to the suggestion and it isn’t universally adored. I think it’s implementation is inevitable though and I do accept that for the great good and all that sort of trash!

You can type /age although I will warn it can be a scary number!

Have you tried turning auto-loot on in the main options this is a great feature. No more clicking, but you still see what you get appearing on the right of the screen.

I just don’t see it being that useful, I am not sure how many other people forget which character is which but I never have so I wouldn’t use it for that. Then only showing the active proffesions seems like it only shows part of the information if it was going to be implemented, all my characters have three proffesions rather than one or two and I know a lot of people have more.

With proffesion swapping so easy and common in this game how would this work? Would it just show the two that are currently active or the level of all crafting skills?

I suppose it sounds like a great idea but the idea I can hear everyone in my /say range chattering away just seems vile to me. It would ruin the games atmosphere.

Also I suppose it because not everyone wants to voice chat, perhaps it is because of language barriers, or for personal reason (I know I do not speak to strangers in voice, it just does not feel comfortable for me at all.) Those who do want to have the option of outside services.

There are a few of these I feel strongly enough to respond to. Some are obviously great additions account wide dyes, more information on tooltips etc. all should be something considered. However, there is one I really do not like and one that I am partly confused by.

Gashlycrumb.1603:

2) Gold being shared at the Account level without having to access a bank.

This would be disappointing for me. I do not need instant convenience for all times, what I need is challenges and fun. For me a great part of the MMO experience is building up your character, from the ground up. I know a lot of people like to share between characters but you can do that quite easily in this game with the shared bank, and that is already something that I find goes against my preferred style of game play. This would just mean I couldn’t do it at all.

Gashlycrumb.1603:

5) Collectible tabs for both Dyes and Rare Crafting Materials.

I am not sure about the dyes part of this suggestion. Once these are used there is no item to keep and there is no need to store duplicates so I am not sure what a collectibles tab would achieve.

It does seem to me they appear when you hit their friend and they decide to attack you as well. It is indeed crossed swords so perhaps it is simply to let you know they are attacking, because espeacailly with rangeed mobs you might not have noticed.

I do not think this would work at this time. They are recommending people who are on high population servers with long queue to move to lower ones so they can WvW more easily. Having it so you transfer to the low population server and then find you have up to a week long wait to get into WvW rather than then few hours you were trying avoid just isn’t helpping anyone.

This is a small short-term problem that will fix itself in time.

Ah thank you. Didn’t realise you could get to another way I always got to it through the ESC menu, so that is one less mouse click to turn it on and off!

Sorry what does F11 do?

I really do not find it that much of an issue to turn of the double click for dodge for a jumping puzzle. The idea for only allowing it “in combat” is when does combat start? After I have first been hit so I can’t dodge it? If I hit them first, well we all know we don’t always get the first hit in.

To be honest the idea adds more issues then it solves.

Why? I have my helm turned off in game, I prefer my character that way but I have never once been bothered by the fact it is shown on the character select screen. I can’t really understand why it is an issue.

I do not think AreanaNet should have to seach people out. Instead a guild move feature should be installed. Like character server transfers these should be free to begin with and then be an option that is paid for in the future when populations have setteled.

Personally while I agree often patch notes do require more information (such as the instance when they ‘combined’ traits with no information on how this was done), the examples you have quoted really do appear to be as they are.

Do I really want to know exactly which lines of text were missing or in which stories? No. Do I really need a list of every single event that could have been effected by that bug? No.

When they make changes that effected specific events then sure tell us which it is (which they do alread) but with general changes like this a massive list of events is no more helpful then no events listed.

They are not really banning people for the odd swear in chat. It is more when these start being directed at other people that it starts to be a problem and bans are handed out. So while trying to keep swearing to a minimum is just polite you should be fine as long as you do not start being abusive.

You do not use up a full bag, just one slot, in one. It is very useful for carrying additional weapon sets in as well so they do not appear in vendor windows.

Personaly I think this is a good solution and no additional tab is required.

As for the swimming in cash I was just pointing out that by simply playing the game and in no way trying to earn or preserve money I have not encountered a single issue with the costs as they are. I am happy to pay the teleport fee if I do not want to run, and often hop around maps. It just feels like people are making a massive mountain out of an ossue that is not even large enough to be considered a molehill.

What if those new players actually wanted to use their mats for crafting? They would then not just be limited by the rare drops, as it is now, but also an insane grind to make up the number of basic mats.

How to instantly screw over new players to the game! Nice first impression there. I am not sure you have thought the implications of this idea through.

Why would you teleport half way a cross a zone rather than run if you are worried about a few silver? Time or convenience at a cost. The choice is yours!

Also I believe the price seems higher at the moment simply because the game is new, this means there is less gold out there. After a while you will soon fell it really wasn’t that big a deal. I know I never run out of cash, and that is without touching the trading post, spending loads on crafting without selling a single thing, and salvaging every single item rather than selling.

I just think that the skill is fine as it is, there is no need to add a mecanic to the game that stops other peoples fun and enjoyment.

I can’t imagine that being very fun. Especially coming up against someone like me who plays a d/p thief, the opposition would never get a chance to do any thing.

Very glad it has helpped.

Well to be honest I think there does need to be some ‘sink’. Either the gold sink that was designed into the game, or the time sink of avoiding it. Perhaps I just feel ease of travel should have a cost.

It also stops people from communicating with each other for legitimate reasons. I want to be nice send some one an item I have to have them on my friends list , that is just going to mean I am not going to share any more. Stopping goldsellers should not stop normal players. Any solution that does is not a solution.

Also why on earth can’t I trade with a friend through mail? Or even a stranger? Why is the trading post my only option?

Go to the mists from your pvp menu, run through portal to lions arch, pick the race city portal you want. A little more time consuming but if the few silver is just too much then you may find it worth it.

If you go into the graphics settings you can adjust the UI size, this adjusts the text size with it. While not a perfect solution perhaps it will help.

I do not believe they do. I persoanlly like it this way.
