Guild Wars 2

I was just infracted for an harmless post saying that this forum is NOT a free place to complain because of moderation.
Infracted for “contesting the actions of a moderator”.

There’s your answer.

That’s because it’s against the rules to discuss moderation, or bringing up your own infractions :P

Hey Guys,

I’m worried that GW2 will use the same campaign style system for expacs as GW1. I hated that and prefer a more seamless world instead of loading up what essentially felt like, to me, a new game each expansion. I’m curious if anyone knows of any FAQs or interviews where the Devs have talked about this aspect of the game and how they are going to handle it.

Cheers in advance.

I don’t think we have heard anything about expansions and how they will be made so far. Even though I wouldn’t mind a campaign system like original Guild Wars, it would keep the game unique, but then it isn’t always about being unique, it’s about keeping players interested.

But to be honest, campaigns (in my opinion) were expansions, but perhaps not expansions like World of Warcraft ones, where it’s expansions only were for the highest of levels players, where Guild Wars you could create a new character on said new content and level it only there if you liked to, and it also had high level content.

But I don’t mind either way. The only things I wish for though is that expansions shouldn’t be highest level required, I think you should be able to go and play the new expansion with your friend, even if he’s still at level 50.

I also wish for no level increase, I wish we could stay at level 80, and still keep the content interesting.

Perhaps expansions to Guild Wars 2 should take your characters back to level 1 in the new content. You will still have your level 80 gear from Tyria, and you will be level 80 in Tyria, but when you go to, for example, Elona (if such expansion will come) your character will be level 1, but still have your level 80 armour and weapons.

Your character’s ‘’true level’’ will be level 80, but you will be down leveld in the new content to level 1, and can level up all the way to 80, to reach the highest level in the new content.

It would make more interesting encounters and tactics. Instead of thaving the tank, tanking the boss, the healer healing the group, and the DPS damaging the boss, everyone can take part in different mechanics that are needed.

Like, everyone must stand on this pressure plate to activate something, like a weapon that everyone can pick up and then damage the boss with a special attack.

But then again, I think in the end everyone will just whine about how ‘’no rewarding this is!’’ and ‘’why should I do it then if I don’t get better gear from it?’’

Take away the MM and you won’t be able to do anything you listed that you said you could do without it.

Take away all people and there are no WvWvW, take away all people and you can’t do dungeons, take away people and you won’t even be able to group.

All the stuff you have gained is the help of other people even if you think it or not. All the events you have completed some people helped you, all the people who charged that castle helped you, all those people you grouped with to kill a dungeon boss helped you, and you helped them.

It feels like volunteers though.

SoulNC.6752:

lol…well this sucks,

I was thinking most of the NPC faces could be copied if you just messed with the face editor. I thought the only unique NPC faces were the ones of the main characters of the story.

No NPC face is unique, not even the main lore characters. Except the NPCs that’s supposed to look old.

I don’t have problem with the burst, from either Thief, or Mesmer.

I have problem with burst combined with invisiblity, disappearance and confusion.

It’s not fun to meet something that can disappear whenever it wants, it’s simply just not fun, there is no battle in it.

Isn’t this pretty much the point with Guild Wars 2? To play and then quit and play something else and then play again when you feel for it?

I have seen so many people running around with Legendaries. Everyone and their mother runs around with Twilight or Sunrise, it’s so kitten common at the moment.

Legendaries seems to become so common I usually think it’s something wrong with me thinking it will be impossible for me to get a legendary.

Aegis is OP in Winterday Jumping Puzzle.

I block the wind, and the snowballs.

Took me 3 tries, around 8 minutes.

Clock Tower took me around 12 tries, around 1 hour and 10 minutes.

gummz.4928:

Oh. I hadn’t thought of that. Well, how long do you think it’ll be until ANet fixes the engineer?

Well, this topic sure changed quickly…

Anyway. January and February (I think) is supposed to be a pretty big PvP patch, so something might be in there.

Angry Joe is part of That Guy With the Glasses and thus loses all credibility as a critic of anything.

Somebody seems kitten over somebody saying something over internet.

‘’My opinion doesn’t match his, he must be an idiot.’’

Like that :P?

nerva.7940:

what made him blow off GW2 anyway? he was hardcore into it pre-release.

He said something about GW2 the viewers didn’t like. As a result, he was flooded with angry people. He called them rtards and quit showing GW2 – was around the final betas.

Didn’t sound like him. Link?

man i watch his stuff all the time. sounds exactly like him. and he didnt get to play it much and was a little disapointed in it, ((from last weeks game’s station pod cast))

Basically, during the betas, he wasn’t able to play too much himself since he was in another country, but he said he had his wife, and some of his staff, or something that played for him.

He twittered something in line of ‘’People got 20 minutes WvWvW footage? Cute. I got over 4 hours.’’

But these videos never came up on YouTube, and people started to ask and question him, I think in the end he threw all that beta footage away and said it was pretty hard to comment on something he haven’t played himself (Which I agree on.)

He was able to play the last beta or so himself, which he seemed to enjoy a lot. But I have no idea what happend to it afterwards.

Between, does Angry Joe still play Guild Wars 2?

Sword & Shield and a Hammer.

Still wondering why we have a horrible system like transmutation stones and not appearance slots.

Guardian Hammer skill #4 + random invader + cliff.

Far, far, far more fun.

To create balance is not an easy task, if not even impossible. In our world, balance is what usually happens out in the nature. The wolf easily kills the rabbit because he needs to eat, but the rabbit can easily also run away and hide, to survive.

Survival of the fittest. The class you play, do the best you can make out of it.

I play a Guardian, I think people call me a Bunker Guardian, I can’t really die against anyone, but I can’t kill anyone either, at least if not my opponent decides to run out of combat, but I will die eventually if he has a friend with him.

So now we have Twilight, Sunrise, The Bifrost, and Incinerator on the TP?

This just feels weird :P

I can’t say Twilight or Sunrise is anything special anymore since everyone and their mother runs around with one :P

I never thought of Legendaries as something really skillful to get since it’s all about RNG and farming, farming, farming.

tasaunders.3746:

I’d probably go with the people in my small guild, but…heh, I’m the only 80. Turned a bunch of friends onto the game so while they’re catching up, I go LFG. I honestly don’t mind PuG’s either, at least not in this game, until I run into this nonsense.

Thoughts?

I’m pretty sure you can go with lower levels since they will be boosted to 80.

Genevra.6318:

Why are you sad now? You can get more frames at the Wintersday vendors. Just farm the crap out of the Mysterious Presents to get more ugly wool socks/hats/sweaters. It’s what I plan to do to make a Endless Griffin Tonic to go with my adorable griffin mini-pet!

That’s pretty much my point.

I got the Endless Tonics before, forged all 4 of them together in the forge to get something I could have already gotten the next day.

And to be able to do it again, because I lost all my frames before, I need to farm more to be able to RNG gamble again in the Mystic Forge.

So now we need to farm more, to be able to do more RNG gamble in the Mystic Forge.

Great.

Yes, I’m really sad and disappointed that all my endless tonics I forged in the mystic forge became something I could get the other day…

Really? Can I write a ticket or something to get my 4 Endless tonics back?

Great, now I’m sad.

I wasted the other frames for Endless Tonics, I put them together in Mystic Forge and got a crappy Endless Toy golem Tonic which I already could have gotten the next day.

I lost all my other tonics, and the frames for something I could have got the next day, and now I can’t re-do it because I can’t get any frames.

Can you give me some frames, or add them back in the game so I can make the tonics again?

I thought the communication was good in the start, they showed themselves a lot and spoke to the fans, but after the release they have become more subtle about things and do not speak to us as much as before.

I don’t think websites like Facebook, Twitter and Reddit should be used too much. Fine to some degree but not as your main source.

Especially not Reddit, the layout is horrible and it’s hard to navigate.

Even though you might not communicate as much as before, we still want pictures of Colin Johanson’s smile.

Diva.4706:

My point is that real life wealth should have zero impact on the game.

Sadly there are gold sellers in every game that makes it possible. ArenaNet made the decision to sell it themselves instead, which is a lot better than illegal gold selling.

Azure Prower.8701:

Even after you click the button, it turns grey. Then refresh the page and they’re all back to red.

Yeah, noticed it too. Perhaps it isn’t even in function yet :P

Perhaps it might show nothing to us, but the post will draw closer attention to ArenaNet themselves.

I’m just going to +1 you, I would like others to do so as well to see if anything will happen if it gets enough plus.

Doggie.3184:

No one knows yet.

Mmorpg.com was streaming with some ArenaNet guys and they said that you will be able to get the frames again tomorrow when Tixx lands in Lion’s Arch.

I got a terrifying Wintersday video.

DonYawnful.1062:

I’m kind of miffed, I was under the impression that combining 4 endless tonics gave you the toymaker’s tonic, too bad that isn’t freaking true. I combined my 4 tonics and got the one I didnt have. You can’t fathom how mad I am right now both at myself and at the sheer fact that people outright lie on these forums and others.

Ugh, filed a complaint ingame hope they can give me a refund :/ I want my toy soldier tonic back…

I did the same, there isn’t really anything we can do, we have to suck it up.

I miss having heroes a little bit.

Having your own warband as a Charr, or your own krewe as an Asura, or something…

TsukasaHiiragi.9730:

And this needs to change, I’m willing to bet good money ~ this will become the latest outcry. Come Jan 3th when the event ends, and people who are actually trying to get one of the endless tonics don’t get one, expect them to quit the game.

The sad thing is that this is pretty much what ArenaNet will have to go through forever if they keep adding too much RNG to the game, and gambling.

Sad but true.

I gambled the 4 Endless Tonic in hope to get a Endless Toymakers Tonic, but I didn’t I got the Endless Golem Tonic, and at the moment, there is no way to get the other tonics since I lost the frames while doing so.

I think Guild Wars 2 contain too much RNG, I hope ArenaNet will change it eventually.

Stormleaf.1769:

So, you had something you wanted, but decided to risk it in a mystery recipe when you had no idea about what the outcome could be? And you have the gall to say it’s an insult from ArenaNet? Come on; get a bit of class and maybe think things through the next time you decide to gamble away something that you already enjoy.

Guess what? Putting four Dusks into the forge would just spit out another random exotic greatsword. This is no different. Again, try researching how the forge recipes tend to work before risking something on an unknown.

Quote me where I said it was an insult from ArenaNet.

I know I was gambling, and I know there’s nothing I can do about it but ask if ArenaNet could add the frames so I can gamble the Endless Tonics back.

boev.2896:

Hello, i just spend alot of gold and my one in a life time frames, crafting endless toy ventari tonic, endless princess doll tonic, endless toy soldier tonic,endless plush griffon tonic.. and i was told by combine these in mystic forge you would get the exotic endless toy maker tonic…. but it gave me the endless toy golem tonic insteed, there by i waste my one in life time tonics, is there anything i can do about this or revers the process ?

hope someone from arena net see this problem

I got the same ‘problem’ too but I think there is nothing we can do about it, we have to suck it up :/

I wish ArenaNet could remove my Endless Golem Tonic and replace it with the 4 others I lost, but I don’t think ArenaNet is that kind of company who does that since nothing really disappeared for us, we just gambled with the Mystic Forge.

Mega Messiah.1734:

I’m hoping people who want more frames will use this to consolidate their concerns and wishes, because let’s face it: if people hadn’t have risked their frames in the first place, we might never have found out about these tonics, so it’s only fair that people like those who combined the 4 endless tonics, willingly risking all 4 tonics and those frames, be rewarded for their risk, not hampered by the fact that they get 1 tonic they could have gotten tomorrow.

I’m glad you feel that way Q_Q

Darth Danny.4032:

yeah but dude, i expect a little more when i put in real money you know?

What was wrong with the system at halloween?? Buy the 3 pack and buy it agian if you want the rare.

This system is nothing more than Anets greed! I feel really betrayed.

There is no excuse for this terrible drop rate system,

You knew there was a chance on getting something, as much as I did. I feel pretty sad over the loss of my 4 Endless Tonics as well but there’s nothing I can do, really.

I don’t think ArenaNet are that kind of company who would delete my Endless Golem Tonic to give my other 4 Tonics back.

Konrad.9587:

Excuse my question… but what is the point of having an endless tonic, except vanity?

Fun? Vanity? Memory? Showing off? Costume battle?

Styxx.8501:

Kaderin.7584:

I don’t agree with this policy at all, it’s only a gamble by using materials that CAN’T be acquired again for a long time for a one chance only to try and get the tonic, I very much would like to roll all 5 endless tonics into one for the sake of space, but this isn’t a way at all…

The mystic forge shouldn’t head towards a direction like this, one thing is to have players pay a few gold to throw in rares or exotics into the forge and end up losing out with a slight chance to get a precursor—at least the materials for such a attempt is recraftable.

With this tonic thing, players not only have to pay from their pockets for the minis if they still want them after making the tonic, we risk to lose the tonics in such a random way is not right in my book..

Of course I realize it’s a optional method and I definitely won’t take my chances on this, but I just feel that after the players efforts to get the 4 tonics, the option to let them combine and get the 1 for all potion should simply be there

Exactly. They should just add new recipe for 2 endless tonics + cogs + ? and it make an account bound combination tonic. Win Win. unbound market isnt flooded and we aren’t out both the minipets (sicne we used the frames) and the tonics.

Since I gambled my 4 Endless Tonics away for a lame Endless Golem Toy Tonic, how will I get the frames back to build the Toymaker Tonic then :v?

Don’t blame others for your own gamble, even how hard it is to understand.

I gambled 4 Endless Tonic in the Mystic Forge in hope to get the Toy Maker Endless Tonic, and I got some lame Endless tonic which will be tomorrow’s toy instead.

Kaderin.7584:

I definitely hope they add some sort of recipe to make the endless toy tonic, we did kind of pay around 7g per mini if we gave up the frame to make the tonic…..its like putting twilight and sunrise together to try and get eternity but you only get a CHANCE that the blade comes out, you might end up getting one or the other legendary back or not at all lol

I’m NOT going to buy the minipet from the gem store if it comes to that. If I can’t get the frame back in any way, and the only way is the gem store, I’m really, really disappointed…

Recorded a video for funs :p

The result wasn’t fun though.

MethodicMockingbird.6520:

Styxx.8501:

To me, logic dictates I sacrifice one of the two pets I can get this time around, to put the other 4 tonics in and get a combo tonic.

If you’re lucky. I wouldn’t be surprised if it gave you back one of the ones you put in.

I’m surprised I got the tomorrow’s toy tonic :P

Would be happier if I got my Soldier Tonic back at least.

MethodicMockingbird.6520:

Um… doesn’t this make sense, in retrospect? Four slots, five minis, you get the Tonic of the mini you didn’t put in. Not that hard to put the pieces together.

Kind of, yes, but that toy does not exist in the game yet, since it’s tomorrow’s toy. I guess you could say it’s in the files though…

Still really sad, and boring, I can’t get the frames back.

I combined 4 Endless Toy tonics, the Soldier, the Doll, the Gryphon and Ventari, and I got Endless Toy Golem Tonic, which is probably tomorrow’s toy in Rata Sum

I thought I would get an Endless Toy Tonic, which would contain all toys.

I’m sad it ended up like this, I didn’t know I could be able to get something that isn’t really in the game yet, the frame that is.

and I lost all the other frames as well, so I can’t even re-do this…

QUESTION: Will I be able to get the frames back? That’s all I want. Since then I’m able to get the other endless tonics back.

Putting up the video in the main post.

LostMK.4089:

4 endless single tonics into forge = endless golem

WHAT THE HELL ARENANET this cant be right

we should put 4 things that can only be obtained once and get ENDLESS TOYMAKERS not GOLEM

Yeah, same here.

I put Soldier, Princess, Ventari and Gryphon.

And I got tomorrow’s toy…

They should fix this, I lost all my different tonics and got tomorrow’s toy….

Did it right now with the Soldier.

Got the Endless Tonic after my second time.

Ventari one however didn’t appear for me.

I’d say Human.

Human is the most polished race and is almost all the time the model when creating armour or town clothes.

Human Cultural Tier 3 the Heavy one is one of the most beautiful and cool looking armour in the game (in my opinion of course.)

The attack animation feels great and you know when you jump, and where you will land. Being a big character might get you hated in jumping puzzles, and the camera views and angles might be annoying if you play a Norn
