Guild Wars 2

I’d love a set like that.

But Guild Wars 2 is an universe with disco weapons that shines with a stupid amount of light and colours, back items that looks like dragon wings, and every player is a Human Female Thief with underboob black leather and blue coloured hair with the flower.

-

I wish there was a set like this from one of the guardian concept arts. Especially that kind of helmet, with open eyesight but it’s completely black.

Those wings are extremely ugly.

Can’t understand why people wants to run around with them.

Reduce the cooldown on Guardian shield abilities, give the #4 shield skill a one second daze when it hits enemies. Remove the root from the shield #5 skill and make it pop up where you were walking.

So on my Zeal trait line I don’t/never use

Shattered Aegis (V), Revenge of the Fallen (IV), Binding Jeopardy (I), External Spirit (X), Scepter Power (IX), Wrathful Spirits (XI), Kindled Zeal (XII), Amplified Wrath (XIII)

On my Radiance line I don’t/never use

Healer’s Retribution (I), Shimmering Defense (III), Inner Fire (IV), Searing Flames (V),
Radiant Fire (VII), A fire Inside (VIII), Radiant Retaliation (XIII)

On my Valor Line I don’t/never use

Strength of the Fallen (III), Defender’s Flame (II), Honorable Shield (IX), Communal Defenses (XIII)

On my Honor line I don’t/never use

Wrathful Spirit (I), Protective Reviver (IV), Battle Presence (XII)

On my Virtues Line I don’t/never use

Permeating Wrath (XI), Purity of Body (XIII), Retaliatory Subconscious (IV)

A lot of Zeal/Radiance traits aren’t being used in any aspects (Pve, PvP, WvW) and in order to use few good traits Guardians lose too many useful utilities. I hope on the next upcoming guardian discussion we get some revamped traits and actually useful grandmaster traits (old/new) alike.

Most of those traits don’t need a revamp. Its not Anets fault that most of the guardian community is hog tied to certain ideas pertaining to the class and refuse to let them go to explore other things.

The Guardian community have tried different builds and different traits all the time and some of these are just downright useless. It IS ArenaNet’s fault for making useless traits that no one uses and that they don’t fix.

Living in a ’’lala’’ world and believe that there is so, so, so much to explore about our traits is even worse, because there aren’t any. We have found every build that’s available and actually works for us.

Solo roaming got pretty boring when the majority of profession you see are either Thief, Mesmer or Warrior.

Thief’s can’t damage for kitten and the moment you attack them they go stealth and then run away, believing they are super sneaky and then they stalk you for whatever reason.

Warriors are pretty much always conidtion built but instead of longbow they go greatsword with sword/warhorn. The moment their HP is down by 50% they bullrush away and then use all the leap skills they can to get away as far as possible.

Mesmers always try the mindkitten tactic with spamming clones and yet again stealth which is such a boring and broken mechanic. It’s so sad since original Guild Wars did so well without stealth. And yeah, they stealth and run away if they go down too quickly.

Every Human Female Thief player got the hairstyle with the flower in the hair and usually with some weird anime colour with underboob black leather armor.

All of them look ridiculous and should get their kitten together.

Ascended armor and weapons added nothing to this game. It was all just an illusion for gear grinders to get something to do but were so useless in the end anyway.

Dry Top kind of got back to Original Guild Wars with chests and lockpicks.

I think every map should have that kind of system, that you are able to buy and/or find keys and open chests put around the map and get items tied to the area, or something similar.

It saddens me that I can no longer rally people in mapchat and talk crap about other servers and how we own them in WvW.

Because around every corner, these filthy people not from my server exists and watches!

darkace.8925:

So it’s that much of a no-brainer?

Condition Damage for Guardian is just a leftover April’s Fool joke from ArenaNet.

Myself? I thought the whole situation looked awkward so I cringed a little bit but didn’t care overall.

My character? Probably something in line of ‘’Sorry for you loss, now I need to hurry back to Taimi.’’

Shanks.2907:

Be careful of buying armor from WvW or with karma. The armor can’t be salvaged so any runes/upgrades you put on will be stuck on forever. It’s worth it to just buy the soldiers gear from the trading post.

Soldier gear can’t be bought from TP.

It’s either WvW or Dungeon vendor you can buy it from.

1. The GW1 server system was a Lobby/Instance one. You cannot have an open world, as GW2 is, with the server system of GW1. Also, there were no specific servers, like GW2 has.

Guild Wars 2 is barely open world. Every zone is instanced.

It is NOT instanced – instanced mean not shared. They are Zones yes, but you can join someone in that zone. So it is an open world.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instance_dungeon

I think you should get a better dictionary.

You’re both right. Colloquially speaking, you’re right, they’re not instanced.

But even according to the page you linked, you’re wrong…
“an instance is a special area, typically a dungeon, that generates a new copy of the location for each group, or for certain number of players, that enters the area”

that’s exactly what megaserver shards are. Each area is separate, and a new instance is generated when too many players arrive.

I don’t think this is worth arguing over, and I would have stayed out if you weren’t so overly condescending in your response, which wasn’t cool dude.

Edit: condescending was a better description of your behavior.

Looks like someone answered before me.

It’s not something I’m going to argue about either way.

I haven’t even changed my Molten Pickaxe to be account bound yet. Still soulbound.

I rarely play any other character anyway x0

Lalocat.6793:

Because the proof of one legendary is that you are, you know, glowing with a brilliant aura and leaving sparkly footprints all over the place. With the wardobe you can now appear to be dual wielding when you actually only have one, because it looks exactly the same.

I got The Flameseeker Prophecies.

There is no aura, or footsteps.

It’s to keep it fresh and interesting. The moment something becomes permanent it becomes valued less.

Releasing new worlds would keep it fresh and interesting. People would not appreciate Mario more if Nintendo banned everyone from playing it eleven months of the year, they’d just get annoyed at Nintendo for imposing weird restrictions on things people have spent money on.

The old worlds would get tiersome fast because we can play them 24/7.

People buy Nintendo products to play Nintendo games. You are hyperboling with your comparsion. It would be more like Nintendo launching Super Smash Bros game, and one character will appear for a month and then disappear for a month and then appear again.

Same with Guild Wars 2, we got Halloween, Winter’s Day, Dragon Bash, Super Adventure Box as events that keeps popping up and then disappears. To give people something to look forward to and give it replay value. People would replay the old worlds because this is the only time they can do it, and then play the new world as well. This makes the content take longer to complete and will keep people busy for a longer time instead of keeping SAB up 24/7 and only play the new worlds when they are out, with people later on complaining about ’’there’s nothing to do I have already completed everything.’’

Making old things appear after a long time with something new gives people a lot of time to waste, as well as giving developers time to continue working with newer content, while this old-new release keeps the players busy.

Ben K.6238:

Oddly we had access to first-person perspective in GW1 by zooming the camera all the way in. Not sure why GW2 doesn’t do that.

ArenaNet responded on that a really long time ago, like, during the beta, and reason was ‘’immersion.’’

I was jut brainstorming on (pretty silly) story situation when this came to mind.

Taimi pretty much walks wherever she wants and says (I think she did?) that her superiors lets her. However, in the recent patch reveal video we see Taimi being looked down on by other Asuras close to Omadd’s machine.

Could this mean that these Asuras are taking Taimi back to Rata Sum, forcing her into the Super Adventure Box to ’’teach’’ her how to survive in the world and such, like Super Adventure Box was meant for in the beginning for progenys (Asura children.)

While Taimi being taken care of inside the Super Adventure Box, the other Asuras are investigating Omadd’s machine.

However, the story of Super Adventure Box ended with a cliffhanger, and maybe Taimi could be able to find a clue inside that continues that story? Which could lead to something or somewhere pretty interesting?

Soldier armor can be found and bought inside WvW for marks.

Everything else can be bought on the TP.

Never go condition as Guardian. Only in PvP if you want to do it for shyt and giggles.

Stealth is getting really old, really fast.

It’s so boring to fight against Thiefs or Mesmers.

You get a legendary for crafting a legendary.

I also don’t understand why World 1 and World 2 can’t be permanent whilst we wait for World 3. I mean, now the LS is permanent, surely they’ll apply this state of mind to SAB? I hope we get SAB back this autumn, then the worlds stay for good, and we just have to wait for the next one, but we can still play the current worlds to our hearts content.

It’s to keep it fresh and interesting. The moment something becomes permanent it becomes valued less.

If anything, update the other legendaries first before fixing this one that everyone and their grandma got.

Guardians truly are in a good spot.

But it’s incredibly stale. There are a lot of quality of life changes that could be made to make it more ’’yay’’ to play a Guardian.

ArenaNet haven’t touched Guardian for a long time, and the latest Grandmaster traits we got are really, really, really lackluster. No one used them, and no one would consider using them for serious gameplay, only for kitten and giggles.

I’ve never been a supporter for race changer options.

Teofa Tsavo.9863:

The ingame model, not so much. It wasn’t body tats, they were obvious scars. Disfiguration, to me, isn’t pretty. Mileage varies, as always.

Doubt, however, we will ever see profession specific armor. That would violate the communitarian utopia.

/shrug.

Cultural armor is the closest with have, and people are even grumpy over them because Norn females wants to run around in underboob black leather too with silly haircolour.

I myself have found all the 60 coins without any kind of guide. I thought it was somewhat fun to do.

I have nothing against Dulfy or anyone who wants to help the community, but I simply hate websites like that, that tells how to do everything. People complain with ‘’I don’t have enough time so guides are good for me’’ implying they have to complete everything immediately, completing everything the first day.

I guess it’s just a matter of playstyle, but to me, having someone else playing the game for you by following a guide 24/7 just sounds boring as hell. I don’t even know why these players play the game.

OmaiGodman.2098:

What I’m wondering is, if Rytlock could lift the curse, why didn’t he do it before? After all, the ghosts are mostly an issue the Charr have to deal with over and over. Why wait so long before getting rid of them?

Sohothin and Magdaer must be brought together to lift the curse. Magdaer was broken. Eir went to Ascalonian Catacombs to find it, reforge it and give it to Logan. It’s still unsure what happend to Magdaer but it could possibly been reforged by Eir.

So, Rytlock couldn’t do it because Magdaer was not in his presence.

My guesses would be-

1. Belinda is dead, and for whatever reason Marjory wants you to have her old blade, so you will get it through an achievement after completing some story step.
2. Gem store 800 gems.

I only got 26 points.

Stop being so self entitled.

I totally forgot I had a sister.

I wonder how she’s doing. Can’t even remember her name.

Stephane Lo Presti.7258:

Hey guys,

Steve Blum is still doing the voice of Rytlock in Guild Wars 2, including our trailers. Audio treatments are applied to his voice and it may sound different sometimes, but it’s still him. Just wanted to clarify that

Not quite sure how the others think it’s not Steve Blum. I think it still sounds like him a lot. Might be because people aren’t used to hear Rytlock speak in such a loud tone, he’s usually very dark and calm in his voice.

What if… the Foefire didn’t actually killed the Ascalonians… Sure, the Foefire might have made them into spirits, cursed them to endlessly walk ’’their’’ lands to protect it and attack any intruder, until the curse is broken…

That said… If the curse is broken, what if the current ’’ghosts’’ of Ascalon turns back from spirits to human beings with flesh. They got cursed, and the time stopped for them, now with the curse broken, they are back.

King Adelbern, Barradin, and all the others.

IF- IF this would happen, would the locket that shows the true heir of Kryta show Barradin suddenly? Well, probably not because he’s not Krytan blood and kitten.

I’m just brainstorming without knowing the lore, really.

Finally, a little bit more of the original Destiny’s Edge. Missed Rytlock for some time.

Even if he is not going to play a big part of the next update, it’s just nice to see.

Guardian shield just need to be buffed overall. It baffled me that ArenaNet thought that Guardians didn’t need any change or addition at all the last patch with the Grandmaster traits.

Sword #3 skill needs to be redone as well.

This would be extremely OP for Thieves in WvW.

Attack enemy > Fight is not what the Thief expected it to be > Stealth > Swiftly get out of combat > Change gear, traits, utilites in a click > engage enemy again with a completely new build.

Nope, should not happen.

Logan is plenty cool. This weird ‘’He ran away’’ comments confuses me since he ran away from one battle to another to save the Queen. He didn’t run away because he was scared.

Logan is pretty much the more interesting character of Destiny’s Edge, him and Rytlock, the rest are meh.

Fuin.8361:

Why would they be annoying?

All Quaggans are annoying and stupid.

A new map is sure really fresh, and the story has become a little bit better.

However, I don’t think the amount of content we get is good enough, we need more. Content every 2 week is fine, but we need more.

SAB really needs to open now. The content we get through the Living Story is not good enough. We need something extra.

At the moment they just give boxes with items like geodes and whatnot. Should the achievements give something more?

I’m not thinking about special skins and/or titles because these aschievements are still far too easy, but at least something more.

I could imagine a special skin and or/title at the end of the Living Story Season 2, if you have completed every achievement of these different story steps. Since it’s permanent people can continue trying.

Hopefully they will die getting strangled by vines.

Never liked the ‘’Big [Insert Random Letter]’’ nicknames. Sounds even worse than ’’Boss’’ really.

Pathetic that it takes this long time to send a fix patch for it.

I want Kasmeer and Marjory gone. I think their characters are uninteresting.

That leaves with Taimi (with Scruffy), Rox (with Frostbite) and Braham. Now throw in Lord Faren instead of Kasmeer and Marjory, and maybe a completely new character, and I’m all good.

Original Guild Wars was just an overall better game with younger devs that wanted to create a good game with interesting stories to tell and mechanics to show.

Guild Wars 2 has removed a lot of those devs and now got a completely new dev crew that only milks for money with very uninteresting content that gets completed in an hour or three. With everything else added in the cash shop.
