Guild Wars 2

PvE:
1. QoL updates for Minis
2. Skin Management (LS skins added to account vault)
3. Guild Housing/Content (So you unlock all the missions, now what? Should also be guild wide, not by world, so all guild members can join in)

PvP:
1. Rewards: Access to new item skins, PvP rewards for kills like WvW? (eg: kill someone get a PvP item drop)
2. PvE items that reflect your PvP rank and time spent in PvP (rank shoulder skin or something?)
3. New Game Modes (I hear this is being looked into, yay.)

What about Poobadoo? doesn’t he cut that barrier in half with his path?

This is really ridiculous, quick calculation put the crossing at ~3.9k gold. Just for the nougat. I really wanted to make the crossing, thanks for shattering my dreams, Anet. I could make Eternity before I could make the crossing.

Fused Gauntlets are amazing. One of my favorite items in the game. Back at that point in living story, I was playing my guardian a lot. I had gotten her a fused greatsword, and decided to use my fused gauntlets on her. So I got Fused Gauntlets (Heavy). My main is a mesmer, and as ascended armor is on it’s way, I was thinking how much I would actually like to use fused gauntlets on my mesmer.

Obviously, The issue is that the skin is stuck as heavy armor. I would love account unlocks from all my living story rewards, but I don’t really see that happening any time soon.

Why not have a mystic forge recipe for the gauntlets, which would be something like,
- Fused Gauntlets (you would need a transmutation splitter if you transmuted)
- 5 Molten Lodestones
- 5 Glacial Lodestones
- 50 Crystals (30 skill points)
and have the result of this recipe be the fused gauntlet ticket, allowing us to re-select our gauntlets.

The only downside I see to this is the loss of your rune (unless you transmuted, then split), and the lack of the gloves being an account unlock.

nagrim.5634:

What about you can reset all our hearts only when u achieved world completion , like a new game + mode

This sounds good. Maybe have Zommoros manage “world gambits” for you as well, earning you more karma & goodies.

many good ideas, the megaphone seems a bit abuseable though.

I imagine they will take the SAB route (if they address this at all) and make everyone marginally the same size.

Killing Teq in overflows? Sign me up.

Canach does have the whole “turning two forces against each other to create chaos” going for him though, Scarlet may be interested in his Fervid Censors.

Stark.1350:

That had to be the weakest “preview” I’ve ever seen.

The queen’s speech was the weakest preview, intentionally designed that way.

Nods to existing paths of TA? Are we going to see Scarlet offing Faolain’s champions?

an interesting proposition, I wonder if she will break out Mai Trin as well.

I’d like an invite too.

One question I’ve been having is why is this caliber of event, where you do need top-of-the-line equipment and skill, in a level 55-65 zone? I’d feel bad if any new player were to happen to be in the splintered coast as Tequatl spawned now.

Someone told me Sept 30th, but I can not find anything to confirm this, and Tequatl rising page does not say SAB will remain playable, though it’s not the biggest “living story” update, so I’m hoping we’ll have all month.

Yeah I meant inscriptions. I didn’t realize they added the crest-stat inscriptions to the game, kinda lame they take ecto to make.

I was crafting my weaponsmith up today, when I realized this combination in the discovery panel. 7 undiscovered recipes, and I have no idea what the 4th component could be. Anyone else figure this out?

Also, it did not seem to react to an inscription.

I finally got around to checking out the “Texture Improvement” to Kraitkin this evening, only to find the “Improvement” was a massive reduction to the night-time glow of the weapon. Prior to the patch, at night Kraitkin was surrounded with a large, bright green glow. With the new patch, I thought Arenanet had broken the weapon, as it wasn’t moving, but the eels were breathing; turns out, they reduced the glow’s size and brightness.

Unfortunately I didn’t have a good picture of the old nighttime effects, but you can clearly see the difference in the picture below. The left is the old effect, right is the new effect.

The other legendary weapons were updated to have bigger, brighter, more noticeable effects, why was Kraitkin reduced?

Please fix it.

When nobody knew where it came from I suggested someone try to MF the 3 golems and Zojja, which made an utter amount of sense. It might be time-gated, but at least it would be possible to get. The problem with releasing more codes (especially to the internet), is that it’s essentially the same as giving it away at promotional events, only a few people who happen to be lucky, get one. Since mini collecting is a huge industry of GW2, it seems unfair to make such an item limited.

I had to click on this thread, because I thought it was going to be a ~1second invulnerability on summon, not just downright invulnerable.

Can we please dye that back part of of Inquest leggings (on males, it doesn’t even appear to have the same piece on females) to match the sides? It’s really annoying. I’m sure this must have been brought up before, but it’s still bothering me and has been this way since release.

Mjölnir.

That said, I’m sure you will be taken care of.

Not that what your saying isn’t true, but there are still steam vents from the molten alliance, Cragstead and North Nolan Hatchery were released, a new lighthouse was constructed to replace the Lion’s Gate (destroyed by the Ancient Karka), Southsun Cove underwent construction, and a second Aetherblade site remains operational. These aren’t huge life altering changes, but they did happen.

Update for me, my thief got hers today, though I made her at least a day after my mesmer I believe. Something definitely wrong here.

I created my main as soon as the servers opened as well. /age shows 12 months, too. To top it off, my friend, who was sitting about 6 feet away from me during launch creating his character as well, got his.

Today I figured out how the little buggers “work” ( due to a bug, you need to have more than one in a stack to actually go somewhere), and decided to take a shot at it.

Loading screen tells me I’ve been brought to Southsun Cove. Oh kitten. My first thought is, “I’m going to be put right on that champion karka in the hive.” Much to my relief, I found myself nowhere near karka; but I was relieved of more than just the thought of a screaming karka in my face, I was face down in the sand, naked.

Anyone else have a good laugh from their first time?

Treeline.3865:

Well.. To be honest that is fair. But ingame stuff is simply off limits.

it was an In-game Tshirt, town clothes though, so I don’t REALLY mind, but yeah. Exclusivity based on whether or not you live near/can afford to fly somewhere would be pretty rude.

Indeed, I conferred with my guild mate as well, seems to be happening all over.

Clockwork Chaos Release page

Characters that are one year old will receive a Mini Queen Jennah, a 24-hour Birthday Booster, and a Scroll of Experience.

Not one per account.

4 Jennahs is an interesting idea, something to do with the extras would be nice.

Today I realized and reported in game that I could not preview my transmuted back item correctly. Since then, I have realized that ALL transmuted items are showing the stat-item, not the transmuted product. Would like this to be fixed soon.

Zaxares.5419:

Falkor’s theory would make sense, although it’s definitely expensive!

and heavily time-gated, 75 commendations is quite a few months (even if your guild has all missions unlocked its over 3 months)

They have mentioned getting legendary skins in PvP, which would just unlock it then. But WvW exists too.

EDIT: There’s kinda already finishers tied to your pvp accomplishments, rank finishers :P

For sparkles, has anyone seen if mini Zojja lights up in the forge with any of the mini siege golems? there’s 3 of the siege golems so it’s possible that the recipe could be Zojja + red, blue, and green siege golem. If Mini Zojja and any of the golems light up, as they are different rarities, should indicate a specific recipe.

Now that finishers are account unlocks, I think it would be cool if upon equipping a legendary weapon, you got a finisher unlock to go with it. Be it an epic lightning strike for Bolt or turning your enemy into liquid metal for The Juggernaut, I think it would be a neat touch for unlocking a legendary.

Lets not forget that Stun and Daze can be stripped as well with a stun-breaker, it immediately cancels the effects of Stun/Daze.

Simple suggestion, for armor pieces that are mirrored on either side of your character (shoulders, gloves, and boots), I think it would be cool if we could have a dye selection for each side of those items.

I’m sorry but, bringing Evon minis and Evon buttons makes this about Evon losing, not about Abaddon, if you want it to be about the fractal, make sure you are sending that message, not that you are kitten about how people voted.

I already have a 1→20 scroll sitting in my inventory for whenever the next profession is released, seriously disappointed if that is what we get for being a year old. Logan with his Mini Jennah made me laugh though. The birthday booster is intriguing, though I assume it’s a combination of gold/magic/XP gain for 24 hours.

justkoh.4073:

Is this the same reason why Dredge cannot be blinded?

Yet, their armor have lamps. For enemies to see them better in the dark?

And they have a sniper (the Grey Terror) apparently. LOL.

And they use a periodically use a gong. To remove yet another of their remaining senses.

Lamps and other items on dredge are references to them being miners (see wiki notes on the dredge canary)

When Dredge ring their gong, it summons other dredge, obviously they are able to track the source of the noise. Also see Echolocation as another possible reasoning behind this.

I like how this only came into play since destroyers became a farm source due to living story, nobody cared 11 months prior, nobody is going to care next month. It’s just like dredge and blindness as stated above, change your utilities and get over it.

So, you’re asking for everyone to be punished because you choose to be bored? cool.

Reading your post, I came up with this idea for changing defiant. During some fights (Strugar and chomper, and the Wraithlord in Arah) you are stacked with a debuff that activates an event at a certain number. If we apply this to champions, where instead of stripping stacks of defiant, control skills ADD stacks of defiant, granting the boss invulnerability to control as long as stacks remain above a limit. Here’s the kicker though, you can keep stacking defiance after that invulnerability hits, making players be wise about their control abilities, and coordinate so they don’t make bosses permanently invulnerable to being controlled. This allows for windows of time where you could control a boss, but can’t stun lock them.

Edit: I guess this could be abused, but you’d just have to lower the limit of stacks certain bosses can have, and adjust the time that stacks remain.

Kiel neither did nothing, nor claimed entire credit as though she did it alone.

Eldrake.1543:

That means she’s going to turn up in future stories, make us do all of the hard work and then steal the credit for it all.

1. How often has any other council member shown up?
2. We were asked to volunteer to aid Kiel and the Lionguard on both occasions of her being in the story. Yes Marjory discovered Mai Trin’s Identity, but she was hired by Logan, not us. Nobody forced you to do living story.

Shifu.4321:

It really matters little in the long run. For all we know, this might be the last time ever we see either Kiel or Evon in a story.

Kiel should be awfully busy with politics now that she’s a council member, and pretty well tied to lions arch. Key word “should.”

If Evon offered research into the fight between jormag and the spirits of the wild, or the charr murdering their gods, I’d be on board. gw1 was human driven, gw2 is mostly human driven, I’d like to see more about other races, not just humans.

I’m sure Anet has thought of this, but what about recipes such as the eternal flame, and mystic forge recipes that use fractal relics? will there be purchasable item versions of tokens we’ll buy for 1 token each in merchant? or will these recipes become moot?

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

Ok phew, I was worried I was going to have to take a day off from work…

As was I! Glad I don’t have to.

(Because every new feature needs its own topic) I was wondering if this will be a living story instance, like the “Audiance with the Master”, or more like the one time explosion of the lion statue during Mad King Thorn’s return?

I get that it’s free and everything, but likely someone who achieves 5,000 achievement points already has a couple level 80’s, and has no problem with the first 20 levels. As for mine, It’ll sit in my bank and wait until the 9th profession comes out.

Canach is the criminal, using toxins to aggravate wildlife to attack anyone. While he may have had good intentions, vigilante justice is not playing within the laws.

Lion’s Arch has made no move against the crown, and in keeping ceasefire with Caudecus, they have avoided fighting the government of Kryta. Therefore an invasion by the Queen would be seen as an act of aggression against the residents of Lion’s Arch, which is nearly every player character. Good luck on your war against the slayers of Zhaitan, Queen Jenna.
