Guild Wars 2

For the next 2 days every new post should only be about how these forums search doesn’t work. Every post should have a variation of Fix the Search function.

Its totally rediculous that you can do a search and nothing turns up even when you can clearly see the post your searching for on the front page.

Then we can stop the 20 Mount posts a month, the 10 weapon skill posts, the Guild system improvements, the guild alliance requests, and even the posts on how the search function doesnt work.

We still want new weapon skills please Anet

Yep I made a post about this look down a few pages sign the post and keep going. Or heres the link. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Weapon-Skills-A-choice-of-weapon-skills/first#post2467331

Yes I know you did a search but nothing turned up. I made a post about fixing the search as well. Heres the link. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Fix-the-search-function-in-this-forum/first#post2467077

The forums here are complete poo they need to fix it but they dont cause they cant search so that can see whats broken. they do a search of something like the word broken and nothing comes up so they go yay our forums work perfectly when they really dont.

This is why we get 20 new posts a month about mounts.

I hope this idea doesnt get left in the dust. Keep up the ideas people

It wasn’t standard to GW’s1 to begin with. They added the function later. Its now time to add it. I think to promote Guild Missions and the like would help smaller guilds to perform better and have more fun without being forced to join a larger guild.

Wow so no one cares about the broken forum search function that allows for the same threads over and over and over and over and over again.

Im sad now

But if you could would you be happy to lose the Achievement points and storylines and armorsets you have gotten? Because realistically those are things you would have to lose especially the Achievement points.

Why would the achievement points and story lines be lost?

Its very easy for Anet to allow race change.
Only allow it for level 80 characters that has fully completed the story line.
Cultural armor would not be transfered but can be thrown in the forge/salvaged.

And that’s it. No more, no less. Your story line would still be there, your home instance would still be the same. You would count as simply not being “homegrown”.

If you race change, you made that choice. A loss of 100g for T3 is something you have to deal with. Those that really, really want to race change wont care about such trivial things.

No its not that simple cause there is the 3 racial storyline achievements that go along with each race. And the first 25+ levels of story are basically building to that, what you would gain is that while you would keep those achievements your storyline would have to be reset to either the start or just before the first racial achievement so that your new opening racial story could be played through and when you get to past all 3 racial storyline achievements whats to stop you from doing it again and getting your 3rd, 4th and final race storyline achievements all on one character.

This is why it won’t happen and no amout of asking will change it. If your not happy with your race make a new one that is the only choice and just as it should be.

Anet have always said you can’t change your character race.

But if you could would you be happy to lose the Achievement points and storylines and armorsets you have gotten? Because realistically those are things you would have to lose especially the Achievement points.

The search function in this forum is completely broken.

I made a post about weapon skills and had it up on the first 2 pages of the forum for a week.

Someone else made a post about weapon skills after doing a search for similar topics and found nothing. When I came on later I saw this post and then saw my post 8 to 10 posts below his. when I commented to the person about it they said they did do a search and it said nothing. So I have done a few simple searches including some of my own topics and they do not turn up!

It is time for the forum master to get this fixed as we probably have so many posts about the same topics because they never turn up on search. That’s probably why we get 10 to 20 mount requests a month cause they don’t see any previous posts about the subject!

Please don’t just read this, post your support to get this fixed and stop having multiple posts on the same subjects!

Thanks

Thank you Lily for your support

Orpheal I really like the light and dark Ele idea cool idea.

Thanks everyone else for making suggestions and supporting the post lets keep it up. Please other players add your support to the idea, don’t just read post your support!

I agree infact I created a post about it as well.

Again Hamfast. Awesome post and idea filling out the first suggestion into a practical style.

Love the Gadget reference as well!

My Norn would be A Snow Leopard that was white with purple polka dots!

No one likes the idea of guild alliances for small guilds? This would be so helpful for us so we could band together for Guild events!

No one wants to support an extra empty slot bar to add anything you want in it?

Hamfast DUDE. Forget the “Great Idea”. That is TOTALLY AWESOME. Beyond Great job. The 6 god’s idea is well thought out. You could possibly take it to the level of avatars even.

I really hope that the new “Skills” they are talking about are weapon skills and not Utility Skills, tho that is in fact what I think they mean. Which of course is sad, for as good and useful that utilities are. They are not Weapon Skills which I would hope people want more.

To be allowed to use them permanently in towns would be great! Turn it on leave it on. Zone to a map area and it reverts to normal.

They can do it with PVP skills they
should be able to do it with towns.

Yeah If they stat’ed it across to become an Account MF% I would have no complaints and will happily enjoy what they offer. if they just remove it I would like my laurels back at the bare minimum.

I used them for 4 days and then they announced they were removing MF.

So a lot of companies these days offer cooldown periods of upto 28 days. I would like a refund =-P.

So under your rule I might lose like 0.000000000000000000004% of a ecto. Thats fine I can live with that.

So long as when you get a Precursor drop and you have it for 10 mins then they do a rollback from 2 hours ago and dont give you it back you wont mind then.

So I spent Laurels, Ectos and Fractal Relics on my Ascended MF gear. With the abolishment of MF Ascended gear, I want them returned thanks. 1 for 1 not a % of them.

Have a nice day!

So I spent Laurels, Ectos and Fractal Relics on my Ascended MF gear. I want them returned thanks.

Yay

please people ADD your support to the idea!

I know I did the same thing as well and it didnt find it either! So sorry if I made yoiu upset I didnt mean to.

So people can see it! Again!

Shall I beat my head against the wall for an hour or so?

I’ve had this https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Weapon-Skills-A-choice-of-weapon-skills/first#post2435475 posted in the first 2 pages of the forums for the last week! WHY doesnt the search work! lol

Yep this has been asked for and asked for.

Minis, Boosts, Food, Drinks or whatever.

And STILL they ignore it. We Want It. It NEEDS to be in the game. You want us to buy more boosts then we need to actually remember to use them and the best way to do that is to let us use them on our UI!

Man that would be fully awesome. I would get a serious kick out of wandering through a town as leopard. What a great idea.

I hope they do something. They could make some racial town clothes for everyone and sell them in the gem store

Yes Thats what I meant. As a idea further you could have Conditions that are instead of whats there normally. IE: if skill 1 had weakness, skill 2 bleeding, skill 3 nothing, skill 4 immobalise, skill 5 nothing then you could have skill 1 poison, skill 2 nothing, skill 3 chill, skill 4 nothing, skill 5 interupt (lol couldnt think of anything else at the time), that would be something along the line.

Thank you Cold for helping explain more indepth. I like the idea for the SP usuage as well.

sinzer.4018:

I’m confused by this tbh as it seems to me that it’s bugged. Twice in the past week i’ve been the instance owner. The first time i got DC’d but no one got kicked from the instance (no reset too) and the second i left before one or two others after we completed it and they didn’t get kicked and there wasn’t a reset.

Been meaning to test it tbh.

Then they probably weren’t the Instance Owner

It is a recognized problem one that Anet replied to me about saying that they are looking for a fix but have no timetable on, which is sad and annoying, it should be higher up the list cause one day some people will stop going into fract’s and dungeons cause they get annoyed with the situation.

Curae.1837:

Nice idea!

There is one thing I don’t agree on though, I actually would like a quest to get the skill, a bit like personal story or something like the drinking game.
Have people actually earn the skill instead of “oh hea, look I spend 2 minutes killing centaurs, and I found out a new way to shoot my bow in the meantime.”
I would think it better/more realistic if you actually learn the skills in a more peaceful environment before you put them to the test.

Yeah I don’t know why I changed my idea to a heart quest skill person, that was silly, a actual quest line would definately be better, or as you suggested a actual personal storyline for new skills would be great for sure.

Comeon people please don’t just view this topic either put your support behind it and post in here or even better add your ideas to make the idea better.

Thanks

LOL Im really sorry but you made me LOL really hard.

Orpheal.8263:

How many of these countless silly "I want Dervs back, I want Rits back, I want paras back-Threads have to be posted more, until you guys finally realize, that those Classes will never come back as separate class due to many minor to major reasons regarding of the current 8 classes that GW2 already has???.

First I haven’t seen that many Derv Threads at all and I do read these forums alot

Orpheal.8263:

If GW2 will ever see in near future a 9th seperate class, then it will surely be not something stupidly borign as a recycled GW1 class, whose gameplay mechanics are all already basically existing in the current 8 classes more or less.

I think you’ll find that I did say a MODIFIED Dervish like the other classes had. IE Mesmer, Warrior, Necro, Ele, Thief, Ranger. Oh wait they were recycled GW’s 1 Professions weren’t they.

Orpheal.8263:

Dervishs will never come back, they are lorewise a complete 100% humans only thing!!

UMMMMMMMM No Sorry there were other species that ran Derv builds in GW’s1 so no thats not true I’m afraid.

Orpheal.8263:

Also they are corrensponding to divine things, just like monks and it was the best thing of ANet to decide to take everything religional out of the game and base GW2 around classes, which truly fit for all playable races and have nothing to do with anything divine..

Except for the Kodan right? What do we do about them when they become playable characters? Also you have seen the Human racial skills right? And the Norn support the Spirits of the Wild. HMMMM better remove them from the game now.

Orpheal.8263:

Also we have now the norn as playable shapeshifting aspect and if anything Anet should do at all about shapeshifting is to improve the norn transforming skilsl to make them a bit more epic and trustworthy in their animations.

At this point I’m kinda wondering if your not a little tired or if you’ve had some sort of illegal stimulant or a few to many drinks.

What does that have to do with Dervs at all?

So anyway I would like to ask if in the future you could copy and paste your post into a word document at let it do a spell and grammar check before re-pasting and posting in here.

Thanks for your input I hope you have a nice day and I hope you enjoy playing Engineer and Guardian as they are the only non recycled classes you can play.

Nah there cant be cause they are always adding more to the amount of JP’s

So in an interview with Colin Johanson on the 16th he made mention that a 9th profession is a long way down the list.

I can live with that but I would like to put forward that if they did do it and it was a heavy class might I request the Scythe Wielding, Damage AoE Dealing with a GW’s 2 Modification Dervish.

It was my personal favorite in GW’s 1 and I would love to see it make a return!

Anyone else?

Hi. If you had looked down the first page just a little you would have seen this https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Weapon-Skills-A-choice-of-weapon-skills/first#post2429273 post and you could have signed it and added your ideas to it. I hope you will do so now =-)

Thank you for the replies. Anyone else want to chip in and make a suggestion and also the more replys and ideas the more the devs may take this idea seriously.

Nannernut.3460:

But to come back to your comment. I am worried about the progress of the new tasks anet has. They stated they will have no expansions and so far, with the exception of dungeon patches, haven’t produced anything worth mentioning.

Not meaning to be rude. But I haven’t ever read that they won’t have expansions. If fact expansions will make them more money as well as the Gem Shop.

In this Q and A with Colin Johanson from a few days ago he says the following:

Q: Any chances future update provide us access to Crystal Desert/Elona

A: Traditionally a new region would be added via expansion but we havn’t decided if we want to do expansion or Living World. It is something we are interested. Storyline you experienced this year have a clear point that is is leading to. We will add additional areas to the game either from expansions or Living world, some of those new areas will be based on GW1.

Also:

Q: More personal story or living story replaced it?

A: definitely more personal story, it depends on if we do it via boxed expansions or via Living world updates. Living World storyline is carrying the timeline now until we can get to the next personal story update.

I just wish they would hurry up with the scavenger hunt. They talked about it being released what back in March/April.

I dont care if its hard I just want to drive the sodding broker prices down as they are stupid.

Gonna Bump This Up And Hope Some More People Will Reply And Add Their Own Suggestions!

Molch.2078:

*Play the game the way you want is awesome, but we need tools to find other like-minded players.

Its called a Small Guild. You might wanna try it sometime =-)

The other thing you might want to think about is the day that elitism comes and bites you on the bum.

Tightfisted or Deep Pockets or Cheap means doesn’t want to spend money on waypoints. This is not meant as a slur but rather a statement of fact on how people save money in game by not wanting to spend money on waypoints.

Now as to me speaking for others I did say “I think” not “Forgive me for speaking for everyone” which was what you said. I base my “thought” off all the negative posts I have read concerning Mounts on these forums over the past year as you could have done if you had done a search on the word Mount.

Finally perhaps people might reconsider their views regarding mounts for or against if there was a cost for using them. 10 copper per every 100mtrs would be the possibility of a charging rate. Also no extra speed or buffs would be allowed and that they would move at the same speed as characters or slower.

Anyway sorry that I have upset you. So you don’t get flamed like I have in the past take a minute to do a forum post search on the topic you might be thinking about posting and see what is out there first in opinions.

Have a nice day/night.

I dont want a mount so please don’t say I do.

Also there is a mount. Go buy it from the Gem Store. It looks like a broom.

I really think you’ll find there is more people against a mount rather than for it. And those who are for it are either lazy or tightfisted.

GW’s 1 only had 1 example of a mount in all 4 expansions and that was limited and required to cross certain parts of Elona. So you may be lucky and when the Elona expansion arrives in a few years we once again may get to ride in the mouths of giant worms to cross the desert. Hurrah.

Otherwise I like you, will state my opinion as your allowed to do and say “I do not want mounts”.

Thanks.

Hey All.

In Guild Wars 1 if you were in a guild and were the leader you could form an alliance with another guild and do stuff together. They had an alliance chat and so you could chat with other people.

I think that this would be really useful in GW’s 2 especially for smaller guilds. Now I know you can join 5 guilds but unless your representing that guild you cant see guild chat. This would encourage more group play and help with interaction.

I hope others might find this a good idea.

Thanks

You should still be able to use rejuvination boosters.

Also the only one I actually had any problems against was the norn one the rest I killed.. Ooops I mean drank under the table.

Yes I do wish the group size was 6 instead of 5, it would suit more people I think

I want to point out that for me I said “I would like” not “I deserve” I think it would be nice to have the special Emote or Dance again I say it’s not game breaking just a status thing.

I was happy with what I had and I am happy with what I have gotten (other than the fact that the Armor is ugly and in no way looks like what a heritage armor should look like).

I would also like to point out that the GWAMM title was to be a title transfer AND a reward. It was put on the GW’s 1 wiki and their main page but all references has been removed (I know I have looked for it to show people) which is why I did it to begin with.

I think most people (and yet I know some are demanding) aren’t saying they deserve something just that for 50 points something other than a title would have been nice.

Oh and I personally think that GWAMM was harder than HoM’s 50 points cause you actually had to finish all the titles on GWAMM, on HoM’s there were plenty of titles you only had to get to level/rank 4 or so.

Yep I have like nearly a thousand now (had a stack or 2 from actually doing you know WvW. I’m actually at the point where I dont want to open any more chests incase they decide to remove the Badges and put something more useful in that I might miss out on if I keep opening them!

So Anet Time to remove them and put something better in. Thanks

I would Like a fuller story of the Zephyrites!

For me I would like the emote or a dance for 50/50 it doesn’t effect anyone. It’s not greedy it doesn’t affect gameplay and it would be a status thing only.

I would like to ask that the heritage armor be changed to something like FoW armor or 15k Elite armor looks cause the current heritage armor looks bad and is quite ugly. The weapons could have been something more GW’s like: ie Torment Weapons or Oppressor Weapons but I don’t mind most of the skins in there as they are pretty cool, tho a Icey Dragon sword should have been a skin as well.
