Guild Wars 2

I just play with it on. It prevents you from making a few skill shots, but we have very few “lob-ey” shots, and the ones that are like that force you to have terrible camera angles.

Hard mode is already made, it’s just not implemented due to strain so it’s probably getting re-worked. It’s going to be released Soon(TM Arenanet2013)

I have 20+ alts. Your solution wouldn’t even phase me.

Instead, it was the fact I get bored farming.

Have a nice day!

But it would stop delete-farming.

Regardless, what they can do is also make a system where you get 10 bauble bubbles for the first time on your account per day, then an additional 1 per zone per character.

This way, hardcore farmers can still hardcore farm, and casual farmers aren’t THAT MUCH behind… unless the hardcore farmer spends all day farming, in which case they deserve to be ahead by a longshot.

I have 8 alts.
8 X 7 = 56
you would rather I only gotten
10 + 4 + (6X4) = 36
so that by the end of the month I couldn’t compensate having more characters and fully outfit them with new skins, therefore being handicapped into buying the rest….
Yeah, then I would need to buy a new character slot and start hard-core farming with character deletion.
So essentially you would FORCE me to extra character farm while you’re still allowed to just enjoy the game.
Yeah. No.

You realize that with any and all changes, Foreman said [t]he[y] would modify the price on items accordingly.

like how engi’s stuck with the backpack, i guess necro is too stuck with those black particles..

I was thinking of buying a backpack for my engi. Can you post a pic to show what’s wrong with it? Please?

They’re stuck with a “Multitool Pack” when using certain kits. It adapts depending on the weapon type, so it’s not quite the same as the Universal one gained upon creation of an Engineer.

If you didn’t understand that:
Weapon kits give them backpacks that go on their back regardless of what they are wearing on their back (they both get shown, but will clip).

Ace.1726:

Is there a way to play GW2 in black and white? Because if there is I’d love to play more Super Adventure Box.

Can’t you just change the colors on your monitor manually?

To add onto this..

If you’re using an integrated moniter (say on a laptop) you may not be able to easily do it.

If you’re using a plug-in moniter, there should be settings buttons on the side or under it… look near the power strip/bar/button.

I almost got motion sickness. It tends to happen during extremely cramped areas such as inside of logs, when I’m straining the camera to see a specific spot, I’ll notice my neck start to angle as if I’m trying to move my head. Then I’ll stop and take a step back (or forward, ingame, hehehe) and realize what I’m doing. It gives me a feeling of helplessness and frustration when I do the neck-bending thing, so I try to not do it as much as possible. I also start getting headaches and, in turn, get motion sick a little.

Berserker accessories, valkyrie armor, berserker weapons.

Skills and traits: shattercat or phantasm (30/20/0/0/20, 20/20/0/0/30, 0/20/20/0/30, etc) skills should always be changed by situation but in WvW roaming, I like Decoy + iDefender. in Zergs, I like Decoy + Feedback.

Defrost.1679:

Esplen: No. The current reward system is fine. It doesn’t need to be changed. Only the delete farming needs to be addressed.

And how, pray tell, do you suggest it should be addressed?

Please do not respond with a: “I’m just giving a suggestion, it’s up to Arenanet to figure it out.” because that’s like me saying: “The government is corrupt. It’s up to the government to uncorrupt itself.”

Josh Foreman.8250:

It’s something I’d like to experiment with. Not sure how feasible it is. We can’t currently remove the camera control from the player.

You could try experimenting with placing the character inside the box with a temporary near invisible sprite and apply all of the movements to a “monster” outside of the box.

Erm, I’m saying it wrong.

Essentially, create a “pin” player with the sprites of the real player and the real player have blank sprites. When the pin gets hit, the player takes damage (when the player gets hit, nothing happens). Essentially, the pin is the player but you’re still actually controlling the player, you just see the pin.

So… if you understand what I’m saying, you’re moving something that you’re not seeing, but on render, it looks like you’re moving your own character. Aka, thinking inside of the box.

The only problem is the mobility will be EXTREMELY janky with this method inside of the GW2 engine because of the way it approaches transformations and forcing other objects to move in relation to a first object… at least, to my knowledge (I don’t, you know, HAVE the GW2 engine in front of me, or anything…)

Aim your camera at a 45 degree angle downwards as if you’re a bird doing birdseye view. I have yet to have the camera zoom in on any boss fight.

What if you took a pewpy in your pants and you want to cover it with your backpack?

It is highly plausible.

Danikat.8537:

I think it’s possible to transmute any piece of equipment, except accessories because they don’t actually have a skin/model, just an inventory icon.

I think you can even use transmutation stones to copy the skin from a HoM item, even though it would be a waste of a stone.

But like Esplen said it doesn’t give you infinite skins. You still only have the one skin, you can just keep combining it with new items to upgrade the stats.

Backpacks are possible to be transmuted. I’m just not sure if you can still upgrade it.

Not 100% sure if you are able to, but if you would, it would become the Fractal Capacitor (infused) and not retain the super backpack skin. If you want the skin, I would suggest holding it until you upgrade you capacitor.

Yes it’s possible, but it’s not “infinite” skins. It’s one skin that persists through item stats.

Once you transmute it, both items get combined to create one item.

EDIT:

You can then transmute that new item to maintain stats/skin again… and again… and again… and again… and again.. an-

The whole purpose of the create/delete not being hotfixed is it promotes hardcore gameplay in a casual setting. This game, for the most part, caters towards softcore/casual players, but there ARE hardcore players in the mix. Guild Wars at it’s core is a game that caters to hardcore players. Whether or not you see it immediately, it truly has some form of replayability for players to be able to continue when at the endgame. In this case, most players who want to grind/farm are discontent with just running it once or even once on all their characters. By giving players the option of grinding the Super Adventure Box, it allows the hardcore players to constantly play it while the casuals get their fill.

Additionally, it allows people to keep playing it more than once every day. Imagine if you could only do a dungeon once a day, no matter which path. Oh, if you’re casual that won’t matter. Okay, imagine if you could only play in a zone until you died, then you had to go to another zone, no matter what character you’re on. It’s not quite the same, but there’s no real ingame analogy that will show what the casuals are trying to throw onto the hardcores.

I’m somewhere in between, personally. I’m a hardcore casual player. I have done the delete/create but most of my baubles are from my actual characters. In fact, I have done the Super Adventure Box more times on my main than I have created/deleted characters for it. I also have 2 tradeable skins (both Scepters) and 121 Bauble Bubbles. Lastly, I have 1269 Baubles (equal to 5 Bauble Bubbles) which I am just holding onto because I have no idea what to do with them. And I only grab them while doing “speedruns”, so no, I don’t farm Baubles specifically.

MsAngel.8640:

I just beat the King Toady but as I did was knocked off the hill and did not make it back up before I was transported out. My partner got the baubles and bubbles. (2 of us completed it) … Suggestions anyone?

what hill? the king toad room is full of Lilly pads.

I think he thinks the cage boss in 1-1 is the King Toady.

I don’t get it.

The Mini-Pets are holograms/projections. It would be weird having a projection projected in a projection’s projected reality, would it not?

What song is in that video…

Mastruq.2463:

What I want is a thread about weapon selection that doesnt turn into MAINHANDPISTOLNOWOMGNEEDIT. I agree that a bow seems somewhat unsuitable, though. I like the scepter would hope its further buffed/fixed to be a viable alternative to the sword. Giving it and the clones it makes confusion and/or other disablers would be nice.

RANGED DAGGERS, HERE I COME~~!

Omne.4603:

Habib Loew.6239:

Yes, we’re looking into it. In fact, we had a meeting just today about scoring/rating/matchmaking issues!

N.B. That meeting was already scheduled to occur before we got the cookies.

I likely story. Good play T8 Os Guild will now begin to formulate a bid of our own.

We should send them Snow Cookies. Hehe.

MsAngel.8640:

I just beat the King Toady but as I did was knocked off the hill and did not make it back up before I was transported out. My partner got the baubles and bubbles. (2 of us completed it) … Suggestions anyone?

Do it again. More practice.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

all right thanks everyone.

because anet is very trigger happy with permanent suspensions so …

i just need to be sure haha.

cheers!

Everytime Anet does a “trigger happy suspension/ban” they suspend the major offenders and ban at MOST 10 people. This game has hundreds of thousands, if not millions of players. If you’re one of those 10 people that [deserve to] get banned, then you wouldn’t be questioning it.

Dagger, Rifle and Pistol are some of the skins that will come out.

Also, if you wish to continue running Scepter mainhand, you can also use your Scepter block when he invises (wait a second or so) to block his attack and reveal him. It gimps his combo by a long shot.

Zaxares.5419:

But those comments don’t make any sense if you’re a female character and doing the Box solo… Unless the shopkeeper’s extremely near-sighted, I guess.

NYAAA, NYOOO, NYAAA, NYOOO

Don’t die after any mode (note specifically zone 2 where you can die from the swamp right as the map changes).

12 chests, 1 skin, enough baubles bubbles to get another skin.

If you’ve opened 60 chests, you should have 120 bauble bubbles, which is 2 skins.

Note: The chests that drop it are the Glorious Chests at the end of each Zone.

Eucalyptus.9784:

Esplen.3940:

….. to reroll as an Elementalist or Engineer because then you WON’T weapon swap. That is the only way to effectively do it…..

Weapon Swapping is the same mechanic as Attunement Swapping, and you do it twice as much on an Ele so…

Troll of the day.

Congratulations, you’re 7 days too late to say that. Also, attunement swapping isn’t the same, as you’re still wearing the same weapon, both aesthetically and in terms of relativity.

aaron.7850:

I have to disagree.

Its fun, but certainly not fine. A single cry of frustration can bring any distracted enemy down in a second. Confusion should punish people for not paying attention, but certainly not bring their health bars to 0%

It was the same, if not worse in GW1 and it was actually fair. The problem with Confusion right now is if you want it to insta-down someone with it, you have to spec specifically for that, which also makes it somewhat fair.

Confusion Mesmers have very few blatant weaknesses, but they do have weaknesses.

Also look at free/fair use and parodies.

Main Hand Pistol or Whip instead, please.

WhiteAndMilky.2514:

Home borderland – inside the citadel in the “lords room” if you want to call it that
Other borderlands – They’re not the vendors you think they are, try the other vendors that you never use.
EBG – Same as previous

I like how the first response gets ignored yet answers it.

Most Cond builds are 0/20/20/0/30. You can hybrid pve shatter with that.

Your Bauble count goes up when you pick them up.

Oh, you’re thinking of the cake boxes, they restore health.

xgmz.5674:

I’ve done twice the Zone 3 but haven’t gotten the achievement.

Also, I quit the instance on the countdown between zones and my camera got stuck in the eagle view for the boss battle.

Do zone 2 and don’t die after killing the boss.

Guessing you haven’t done the secret rooms and bee dog in zone 1.

Zaxares.5419:

I doubt it has any effect. I was lucky enough to get a Shield skin from the Zone 1 chest and I think our score was less than 20.

The one time I got a skin, I had 0 score. I’ve only run it about 12 times or so.

Azure Prower.8701:

ndrangles.5183:

it reflects that the wearer enjoys jumping puzzles! seeing as there’s a clear divide in the community between those who do and don’t enjoy this incredibly controversial activity, it’s a nice way to meet others who feel the same as you! that’s how i plan to use it, anyway.

They make good targets in WvW.

Good thing I’m a Mesmer. It makes my clones fine targets.

Beat Zone 2 and just make sure you stay alive at the very end (don’t die to the swamp as the map changes, so DO NOT stand on the clouds as they despawn right at the end).

VOLKON.1290:

So, we’ve established two basic facts now regarding the Super Adventure Box.

1. If they remove it, people will die.
2. They need to expand on it… for the children. (Not that we adults would continue to play it… nooooo, not that… for the children.)

Yayyyy for being a child!

Harbinger.9645:

They are just clearing the way for the magnificence that is the glorious mesmer. It would be insulting if they didn’t kill half an army for you. All bow to the Master of illusions and butterflies!

You mean they took their fair half before leaving yours!

Once you finish Zone 3, make sure you stay until you get to the Rapids.

So basically increase the worth of everything but make it take longer to tick, thereby allowing more variation and fluctuation to occur, then at the last possible moment you’ll have intense skirmishes.

I can see that working or it’ll be “zergzergzergzerg, oh wait, 5 minutes until tick! QUICK, SPLIT UP AND FLIP”

Swordsman hits fast and hard. In WvW I run Staff + Sword/Sword, so I can get both out, but if I have to pick between the two, I want 3 Swordsman in small battles and 3 Warlocks in large battles.

Sebrent.3625:

You love being a Mesmer, but think you are normal …
… we call this denial.

In a land filled with people wearing armor, magical robes, etc. and attacking with fireballs, lightning, swords, axes, arrows, etc, you thought that butterflies were the supreme weapon.

So it’s not anti-melee but if you melee you need smart usage of utilities and dodges while ranged guys can just faceroll?
I guess that sounds about right.

faceroll? My poor low level engineer would disagree with you. Every time the chess spawns enemies like for example snakes I’m dodging left and right because one hit equals half my health gone.
Have all classes here. 6/8 level 80s. Personally I found that the most movement requiring ones are elementalist and thief, warrior and guardian normally can take a hit.

Actually I was just asking for a clarification.

Not quite. Ranged tends to have to worry about enemies coming into melee. 1v1, most Ranged can keep an enemy at bay, but when it comes to multiple enemies, the Ranged classes can be in a pinch if their cooldowns are down or they are cc’ed. Of course, dodging projectiles is easier from afar than melee, but in melee you should pay attention to the animation.

When I’m actually playing (I have a Staff/Sword+Sword Mesmer) in PvE, I have smart usage of utilities regardless of my range, but I tend to faceroll with my Swords (melee). I have a stacking sigil on my staff and I usually have to mentally restrain my hands from weapon swapping so I can defeat my enemies faster.

They’ve already been on dulfy (in videos) for a long time. Additionally, there are multiple threads showing this.

And bumping is against the forum code of conduct. Please refrain from doing so in the future.
