Guild Wars 2

Follow these steps VERY CLOSELY:
delete the contents of the gw2 data folder, it’s a pain to get to the right one: this step is a general fix for many tp and graphics issues, even without the previous steps however, it will lose all saved log in/password and in-game settings.
To access this:
1 Click on the “Finder” icon located in your dock or the desktop of your computer to make “Finder” the active program in the finder menu bar.
2 Hold down the “Option” key on your keyboard while clicking “Go” in the finder menu bar. A drop-down will appear.
3 While still holding down the “Option” key, click on “Library” in the “Go” drop-down.
4 Once in the Library folder click on Application Support > Guild Wars 2
5 Move the entire Guild Wars 2 folder to the trash and then empty the trash.
The next time you launch Guild Wars 2 it will recreate the recently deleted folder.

There’s no need to complain about something that we don’t even know what it will be yet.

They KNOW that people want permanent content and have said that they will be working on making future LS releases much more permanent. Give them a chance and see what they come up with.

They do have a VIP system where they can pay for a title next to their name… Which we DONT WANT HERE.

Huh. For some reason, I read it as June 1.

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, no need to rush on the festival (particularly since this weekend is going to be busy as it is). On the other hand, it’s another month before S2 kicks off…

I did the same thing >.>
Thought it was June 1st and that Season 2 would be kicking off tomorrow – which was far more exciting…

Oh well, at least I can bash my head against Liadri for another month and fail to beat her. And my exam marks won’t suffer! Which is a positive

Urmaug also says something nasty if you are a Sylvari, and there’s a woman at the memorial who does the same, Eleanor Rigby.

Ayakaru.6583:

One of the sylvari starting missions contain a male couple you need to help

Honestly that couple made me cringe. It felt very much like a straight person’s interpretation of a gay relationship >.>

onemantankwall.3641:

Mordy is just gonna turn into another jormag and the story trail off to us defending for our lives like usual unless tengu join the fight we arent exactly on the offensive to slay another dragon

How so.. The Pact is still in good shape and we’ve developed a ton of technology to defeat Zhaitain that can also be used to fight the other Dragons… The story isn’t going to trial off, there’s no logical reason to think so. If they’re introducing a dragon it’s because they have big plans around it and are working up to us defeating it. If they didn’t then a lot of people would stop playing the game. They aren’t stupid.

Nicholas, you are the only one who see’s it as illogical.
Everyone else in this forum, and Arenanet, thinks that the way it is now is logical. The majority is against you.

I hate you xD
But seriously, congrats.

Nicholas, you continue to posit how YOU think it should be seen. Rather than how it actually is seen. Kryta does not view Lions Arch in that way, there is absolutely NOTHING in game to suggest any hostility between Kryta, the Krytan Crown, or the Krytan people and Lions Arch…

The Lions Council are NOT seen as a rogue institution.

In fact Queen Jennah opened up the Queens Pavilion again as a way of earning money towards the rebuilding of Lions Arch. That’s a pretty nice gesture. If she disliked Lions Arch she would just assert her right to rule over it as Krytan Land and take over – since LA is kind of dead at the moment. In stead she is working alongisde the council to rebuild it. LA is beneficial to all of the races, the fact that it is multi-racial and run by a council makes it a great ally for all of the major capitals. Jennah isn’t an idiot.

I agree, but if they’re going to do this then Liadri needs to have the same pattern for every single cage. Some of them spawn the spinny white thingies in really really nasty places that are impossible to work with since the camera squishes in at the edges of the cage -_-. While we’re at it lets fix that, there’s no reason for the camera to get stuck on the edges.

The Dream is part of the Mists. The Dragons have nothing to do with the Mists. There goes your theory!

The Dream is NOT the collective intelligence of the Sylvari, it’s just the place they come from before they are born and which they have a strong link to – it stores memory and experience, it is not a hive mind.

Wyld hunts most often revolve around protecting people or stopping bad things from happening. The ONLY people who had Wyld hunts to do with Orr – dangerous hunts – were Caithe, Trahearne, and the Player Character.

There is not an “unlimited supply” of Sylvari. Nor are they disposable. The death of a Sylvari deeply affects those Sylvari who are alive and also affects the Dream – having Sylvari FEEL their friends die is not conducive to making a mindless unstoppable army.

Also ONLY SOME Sylvari have Wyld hunts. A Wyld hunt I believe isn’t actually hugely common, most Sylvari don’t have one, and a lot of them have nothing to do with fighting or killing.

A Sylvari would be given the task of cleansing Orr/killing Zhaitan BECAUSE THEY IMMUNE TO DRAGON CORRUPTION. The Pale Tree is very obvious about how much she wants to save Tyria. The Sylvari want the dragons dead for the same reason as all the other races – because if they don’t they will be killed. The Sylvari are brand new to Tyria, they don’t want their experience of the world to be short lived because it was consumed by Dragons.

And as Arikyali points out the Sylvari are completely different to any of the other Dragon minions, as is the Pale Tree. These are intelligent beings bent on PRESERVING life.

Sylvari are not dragon minions. This topic has been killed to death on the lore forums.

Boo I want man on man action too!

Haha but seriously – there needs to be that in games tv etc
Girl on girl action even with friends is very common already

Yup. Gimme some TrahearnexCanach anet. We want some fruit salad.

Personal story character and faren

Also Logan and bandit lieutenant – for years queen Jennah wondered why the Seraph hadn’t eradicated bandits from the outskirts of Divinity’s reach. One day coming back early from a royal meeting, she went into Logan’s room to surprise him. That’s where she found her answer.

I ship personal story character and Faren so hard. Faren is just so fabulous, I love him to much.

Here’s the thing about Faren. He’s obviously gay. The problem is that he comes from an extremely rich family and doesn’t want to risk a life of luxury and lordship by coming out. Thus he stays in the closet constantly trying to have people think he’s straight by asking about girls and stuff. However when he tells the personal story character to refer him to ladies it’s so that he can be their friend and get to know their brothers.

Except he seems to constantly hit on my female human noble mesmer, or at least try to get her positive attention . . .

It’s a ruse I tell you! A ruse. He’s mine.

Yeah i definitely think there is more coming, We are supposed to get a hint at LS2 I think, so perhaps next week they will release another update with some story stuff or something?

YES PLEASE ADD IT.
I didn’t get to play it last year, every time I tried I was taken to a regular PvP map (Still have no clue why). But playing it this year WOW, just seriously WOW, such a great activity. I’m in love with it.

I read your complaint that they havent “added” to professions and stopped reading. One of the chief problems with GW1 was that they continually added skills, it was a balancing nightmare and they were doing MASSIVE balance patches 5 years into the game. They aren’t going wild with additions to professions because their focus is on getting them into a good place where they don’t have huge problems.

Also, bye bye to your thread – there’s no way a mod isn’t going to lock/delete this.

Yeah it’s a bit true to be honest.

I spent SOOO much time playing in the Bazaar last year. Today I finished all the Bazaar achievements (ignoring the Boss Blitz ones) and realised I didn’t really have any reason to keep going.
- I love Sanctum Sprint but during peak hours it just bugs like crazy.
- I love Aspect Arena but short of getting more festival tokens for skins/mini’s I already have I don’t see the point.
- Queen’s Gauntlet is cool, I didn’t get to play it last year, but I’m up ti Liadri and I understand that putting hard content in is done for a reason – but wow.. Too hard

I’m not disappointed per-say, I just wish there was a little more to do/a reason to keep going. The fact that they haven’t brought back the personal Quartz node (even if it were just in the gem store) is insane. Celestial gear is already wayy too hard to get, and there is no justification for it being so hard since zerker stats are technically better. I already have my celestial gear, but still, what about new players?

The Lionguard are just protectors in general, they have bases across the map – mostly protecting trading routes, not Kryta.

Actually I’m not sure why it isn’t. Feline pets have fewer skins than Canine’s for example :S

I don’t see how this was a problem for GW1. The game was switched over to automation, it is for all intensive purposes quite dead – they made past things available because there is nobody there to make new things.

With GW2, part of this comes down to the fact that they want to keep the China release and the NA/EU release in sync, so yes this time around they’re offering things from past events.

Have you also considered that there are people who didn’t have time to do this last time around? Last year Queen’s Gauntlet was in the middle of exams for me, this is my first time actually getting to play it and therefore my first chance at getting the mini. Just because other people can get what you have doesn’t mean that your achievement wasn’t meaningful.

GW has never been about the prestige of a reward, it’s about the feeling of achievement. The reward is there as an indicator of your achievement. If you want to feel super exclusive and powerful then go play that other game. GW should be about helping as many people as possible to achieve what they want to achieve. Not going LOL I’m so much better than everyone else because I have this thing!

You’re trolling right… Since the backpiece has regular Exotic stats and does not have super powers. At least it hasn’t for the months I’ve had mine since it came out during one of the Southsun releases.

Custom emotes aren’t suppressed I don’t think. So as a temporary workaround if you’re doing something like turret calling you can always just type “/emote Turret” or whatever the command is.

Yes you can O_o.
In GW1 we defeated the Lich – so they release Factions with a new foe. We defeat Shiro – so they release Nightfall with a new foe. We defeat Abaddon – so they release EoTN.

GW2 is designed in a way that makes it really easy for them to keep the story going. There are 6 known dragons, one of which we have defeated. Then there’s Elona which has been taken over by Palawa Joko. We have no idea what’s really going on with Cantha at the moment – and then there’s the rest of the world to explore. There is a lot for them to do after we kill the dragons and we will be going after the dragons. Even if there was one dragon per year it would still take another 5 years for all of them to be defeated – but I expect them to follow a timeline closer to one every two years, in which case they’re in no panic and we still get to defeat the dragons.

I got myself the Staff with a ticket I had in my bank. Was super happy with it, really awesome skin!

redrex.9634:

Why not in Wvw? The kodan have a tonic in edge of the mists and you can become the mecha devourer too wvw would be perfect for it! The jump isn’t higher than the walls after all

I actually think it would be ok in WvW. The only foreseeable problem is the sprint ability allowing people to escape WAY to easily – although in Edge of the Mists there is a spark form or something like that which does something similar.

I’ve only experienced issues with lightning pull in ONE place. It’s near the starting area on some of the dedicated platforms for it, and it almost always overshoots (it’s to get a crystal). But that is the ONLY place I’ve had issues. Every other time I use it it puts me exactly where I was trying to go. So I am wondering if there is something else that has bearing on this and causes issues?

Torsailr.8456:

Considering I hate JPs….I don’t see the problem.

But there are a lot of us who adore jumping puzzles and would rather not have them turned completely redundant.

Except that they have a lot of dragons to get through and it’s highly unlikely there would ever be more than one per year. Not to mention the fact that while a dragon might be introduced through the living story, the actual battle with them is more likely to happen in an expansion or permanent continued personal story content. It will happen because there is no way the game could continue on if it didn’t.

Allanon.9072:

Sind’s when killing mobs in a mmo is exploiting?
Sind’s when killing a mob over and over is exploiting? Killing something over and over is grinding/farming for loot .

The problem wasn’t that it was exploiting – because it wasn’t – the problem was that it was sort of a toxic part of the community that was being exposed to new players – most of whom choose to play as Humans. A new players experience shouldn’t be seeing hundreds of players run around in circles yelling at them for killing an enemy too soon.

normal MMOs: Risk = Reward
GW2 : Risk(Over 9000) > Reward

I’m cursious, tell me: how risky is zerging around with one hundred players while smashing #1 ? Do you expect to get lots of rewards by playing this way.

However, splitting your zerg in 6 and coordinate to get the simultaneous kills is difficult and thus more rewarding (it appears TTS managed to reach gold reward).

I’m not taking about the crown pavillion here, I’m taking about the queens gauntlet not even one green…

The Queens Gauntlet is intended specifically to be super hard. Your reward is a huge sense of achievement at being able to do something that not everyone else can.

It’s kind of tragic when people expect massive rewards inside a game. The game is fun, that’s the purpose of a game. Do you need things inside the game to reward you to let you know that you’re having fun? Weird.

Woljnir is absolutely right.
I don’t feel like being excluded from every single dungeon just because people have decided that my celestial ele is worthless and that I should be running zerker. Just because there is a meta doesn’t mean the meta is the only viable thing. An inspect tool is a surefire way to promote exclusion in a game that is about inclusivity… The ONLY form an inspect tool would be acceptable in would be if it just showed you what skins someone was using.

They tried this with Scarlet’s invasions, people didn’t really end up doing them…

I don’t understand what the problem is with how they now have it. It’s only champions in starting maps the have been removed, which makes perfect sense – they shouldn’t really have been there in the first place. Everywhere else still has champions, nothing has changed.

Are two things that are not needed in game.

There’s a small island on Labyrinthine cliffs with some NPC’s who I think were wearing it. So maybe it is coming very very soon?

Perhaps you’ve never played a staff ele – the entire game becomes about movement because a) your skills are basically just crowd control and nothing else and b) you are insanely squishy.
Dagger ele’s also involve a LOT of movement based skills. They have a couple of leaps, some backwards slides, pulls, etc.

They probably patched other minor things, and there is a default number of files that have to be updated EVERY time there is an update.

No I’m not. This, aside from GW1, is the only MMO I don’t get bored with.

There are actually quite a few instances of this (the growing discontent for Sylvari).
As a Sylvari if you talk to Urmaug the Ogre in LA he says something along the lines of ‘I don’t want to look at your face because it reminds me of Scarlet’.
And on the opposite end of LA there is a new character whose name is a play on Eleanor Rigby (Beetles Song) and she says something equally distasteful if you’re a Sylvari.

Not sure i like all the hate I’m getting, I was, after all, instrumental in Scarlet’s defeat -_-

Bongzilla.1926:

look i dont care about champ loot drops on world events like that

All im saying is i hope the rewards we get aren’t the same as the asian market

Why? Their game is completely separate to ours. If Anet want’s to give them rewards they aren’t high enough levels to use then so what? It has no impact on you whatsoever.

Not going to happen. They quite clearly have larger plans for Canach.

One thing I was wondering:
Last year there were a few Tyrians who were saying that they were going to travel with the Zephyrites – where are these people? O_o. Should they not theoretically, at least one of them, have returned with the Zephyrites.

Trader Aerin has returned and has, this time, gotten permission to join them. The rest have returned too but give off a “I’m tempted to, but I don’t think I will” in their dialogue – like last time.

Erukk.1408:

I think I saw a sylvari and norn Zephyrites on the ship. I’ll have to check again to make sure.

Edit: Yes, there is at least one sylvari and one norn (not sure if he was there during the first event) Zephyrite on the Sanctum. So they did seem to return, or at least those ones did.

Those were there last time. Except for Trader Aerin, no NPC on the Sanctum itself has really changed, except for a couple of dialogues.

Thanks I was looking all around talking to the NPC’s but somehow not getting the idea that any of them actually had returned >.> my bad.

Belzebu.3912:

Heraldusluminare.2946:

I wonder how the Sylvari sound in French, German and Spanish? XD

They didn’t make different voice overs, they just changed the captions. Exception for the new Chinese GW2.

Yes they did O_o.
All of the different language versions have different voice actors. German players listen to everything in German and have German voice actors, same for French. I have no idea about Spanish, but I assume it’s the same.

As to Norn sounding “northern”.
Humans have regional differences in accent yes, but why should Norn. They ONLY come from the north, so there is no ‘southern’ equivalent for them to sound ‘northern’ to. They already have distinct voices from humans, so I don’t really understand what you want?

xD. This is really funny to me. I’m always watching TV and movies and noticing how almost EVERY SINGLE actor has a chin dimple. I don’t and end up feeling super unrepresented by TV and movies! So I understand your hurt xD.

No, you can’t do that. The game is running inside a cider wrapper so its full screen mode isn’t the same as other apps. So unfortunately you’re stuck with either having your MBP screen blank, or just mirroring the display.

Considering, as is pointed out by NPC’s in game, the Zephyrites abilities are a modified version of Elementalism that is somehow related to Glint and her magic… This would be a no xD. The lore just isn’t there to support it and it would end up being far too close to the ele.

Ele already has ride the lightning, magnetic grasp, a few leap skills, tornado etc.

FlamingFoxx.1305:

But you’re then producing wasted map space. The way they have set it up means that there is as much to be explored as possible. You also have to take into account that the GW1 map dictates a lot of what needed to be on the GW2 map. There were a lot of landmarks that they had to carry over.

The maps still didn’t need to be square, or round, or triangular. There is absolutely no limitation in a computer program that forces you to make square shaped maps and you can make just as large of a game area with a realistic shaped valley.

They have realistic shaped valleys, they’re within the bounds of the map. There are limitations on their particular system. Game Engines aren’t just a ‘do whatever the kitten you want’ kind of thing, someone has to code things in order to make them work.

The physical map shape HAS to be square, you’re suggesting that they basically create artificial boundaries further inside the square in order to give the illusion of a shape. But as I said before, doing so creates a whole lot of pointlessly inaccessible areas on the map – it would be a waste of space. The current map boundaries aren’t hugely immersion breaking, I think you can just deal with it.

One thing I was wondering:
Last year there were a few Tyrians who were saying that they were going to travel with the Zephyrites – where are these people? O_o. Should they not theoretically, at least one of them, have returned with the Zephyrites.

It has nothing to do with the games Chinese release. It was exactly the same last year. Why would it be different this year. The game always has new players and old players. They’ve done it in a way that works out for everybody.

But you’re then producing wasted map space. The way they have set it up means that there is as much to be explored as possible. You also have to take into account that the GW1 map dictates a lot of what needed to be on the GW2 map. There were a lot of landmarks that they had to carry over.
