Guild Wars 2

Sounds good to me.

If you hate people, you should probably get off an MMO, with all due respect. Not the place for you.

I’m not saying it’s dwarves, but…

The people who put siege in the jumping puzzles are depriving their team of much-needed siege support and themselves as a foot soldier. It is pitiful and wasteful.

If you can’t afford waypoints, you must not know how to make/manage money.

Seems like a good idea to me so long as it doesn’t get to a disney-esque level. We’ve got back braces, why not capes?

Hm… Polymock…

I’m going to get Twiggy. He’s going to be the very best, like no one ever was.

Anet has made a wonderful game for RPing.

That being said, there is room for improvement. Like Divinity’s Reach having a forecast BESIDES confetti rain, and Rata Sum having a residential area and bar.

Mounts have never been correctly implemented in any MMO before and would be incorrectly implemented in GW2. And by the way, there’s already a thread for this somewhere in suggestions.

My points. Agree with them or don’t, let’s avoid ad-hominem arguments.

-Pointless waste of developer time while there are much larger issues around. Wouldn’t you want your devs to be fixing dynamic events and pvp exploits rather than making vanity speed increases?

-Will ‘shrink’ the world. Not literally, but scale and detail will be sacrificed for space. Without scale and detail, GW2 loses it’s epic identity.

-There are no horses, so everyone is going to be riding mounts that wouldn’t make much sense. The only truly domestic animals for riding I’ve seen are dolyaks(In the form of carts), and golems, because they can hold you in one of their massive hands and carry you around. To be frank, I think I could outrun both without swiftness.

-Waypoints can teleport you across ALL OF TYRIA in exchange for pocket change. If you can’t afford it, you really, really need to learn to manage money better.

I know I had a few others in the other thread, but I can’t remember them off the top of my head.

You expected the bad guy to win? In an MMO?

I’ve beaten in 1v1(Please note, I suck. I generally play the ‘lone defender’ of a resource area or the Trebuchet controller in Kyhlo. If I have to play offensive, I’m so-so at it because I don’t have twenty plans in case someone jumps me.)

-Thief
-Warrior
-Guardian (I am going to strangle you with your own frilly self-heals!)
-Other ranger
-Mesmer(It’s like playing where’s waldo, except YOU DIE.)
-Elementalist
-Necromancer, but not often due to chance alone. I don’t have many necromancers step up to the plate and try to fight me. Every time I fight one, I have to stop and admire their Lich form. You could grind meat on those abs…
-Engineer (You done incurred my wrath)

This isn’t about ego, it’s to point out to the OP that if I can do it, and as I said before I’m terrible, so can he. It just requires a bit of finesse and knowledge of what you’re doing, who you’re fighting and the weapons your foe is using.

You done incurred my wrath.

Problem with pets:

Usually alone, they’ll get torn up. And then whatever was brutally beating your pet will come for you, so when you return from AFK you’ll be in mangled pieces across the floor.

I find vistas a challenging and fun part of the game. They require a bit of effort to get and reward you with scenic views of the developers’ hard work. Most of the time they aren’t -that- hard to get to, the only one I’ve ever found truly taxing was the one in Morlog, Dredgehaunt.

Because I’m terrible at jumping puzzles. I flung myself off the scaffolding twice and accidentally dodged off once instead of jumping.

I like the speargun and kite very well with it, utilizing sharpening stone and my pet to continually keep my enemies in the hurt. Problem is, when I encounter ranged foes that can simply return fire rather than lazily swimming after me, I find myself in a bit of a bind as I can’t deal enough direct damage to keep up(With my pet down, anyway). Needs more cowbell, but not on a ridiculous level.

I approve of diminishing rewards. It pretty much derails the gains of botting.

And turn Stonemist into a bad re-enactment of Helm’s deep and completely eliminate the need for rams and make defense hopeless?

Haha, no.

A D-Class Golem is supposed to be hard to kill, tank for you and overall keep you intact.

It dies so, so quickly and rarely uses it’s deflector shield. When it does, it lasts only a handful of seconds, and the deflector shield is only programmed to be used randomly, never when I really need it or on-command.

I could shrug at the ‘dies quickly’ part. I’m a ranger, I’ve got a pet to help him out and if he dies he served his purpose. I just want either more control or better programming/reaction timing on that bubble shield.

I’ve been told that the S-Class isn’t so bad, though. Lots of damage, supposedly.

I agree, the lab is certainly missing things. Zojja has her own lab with her own inventions present and being worked on, but both seem to miss both a personal and evolving touch.

-Zojja’s fame is going to grow upon Zhaitan being defeated, if thats even possible. Her lab would probably rival a tiny adventure instance in size and have multiple floors, it would probably be currently under construction in some areas, and she might actually be present with dialogue for heroes that show up.

-Savant’s lab has a nice view, but it needs a ‘home’ feel. You should have an area to yourself, possibly a personal residential area where you can display achievements. You should be able to talk with your krewe, and their dialogue will cycle to something else every time you enter the instance to accomodate changing moods and experimental results, possibly just how they feel or little backstories with them going on.

Only if it was coloring details, like hilts and grips and the like depending on the weapon. Swords shouldn’t have a Ceylon bar for a blade.

That’d be the camera that needs fixing, Bathos. The jumping puzzles themselves are designed fine by and large, they just require timing and patience.

The Asura.

Need a techno-tavern.

It’d give people reason to go to Rata Sum for RP.

Oh, and another thing.

THE ASURA NEED BEDS. Yes, genius never sleeps, but it needs a place to lay it’s head while it muses.

Charrman Prescuttle is one of my engineer alts. Gears of War reference.

I like Asura rangers, personally. Being smaller than some of your pets but commanding them nonetheless is a big self-esteem boost, and your Moa can carry you on it’s back when you are tired of walking!

No, Charr are just taking a break from faith. They’re a bit scarred after the humans literally killed their gods. They’ll be back— Hell, even the ingenious Asura have a faith in something.

Apparently Anet is ‘Technically unable’, as I believed they phrased it, to restore my lost items when I was hacked. Don’t worry, the hacker was an amateur and ended up making me richer than I already was, which was upper middle class of GW2. Now they see me rollin—

Gah, I digress.

Please don’t take this question the wrong way, I just want to know why they can’t. Is it a system issue? A problem with management? Tech problems? I know nothing of customer support or how restoration works, please forgive my ignorance. But inquiring minds just have to know.

^ Can’t say I’m impressed either. The Charr aren’t the main villains and shouldn’t be.

Kitten. They mean Charr are Kitten. Adowuble, fluffy kitten. With four ears.

IF this were to happen:

Golems can be colored using acquired dyes. Their abilities are assigned out of a list tailored by you(Using skill points) to fit your build. However, they may lack certain traits that living animals have.

waypoints are boring, mounts are more than a way of travel

[/quote]

Mounts are a waste of developer time that should be spent on actually necessary additions and fixing critical problems with the game. Horses aren’t even around and the closest thing I’ve seen to a ‘mount’ would be how the Asura occasionally have their golems carry them around, and only in the concept art of Zojja and her golem.

Another problem would be how mounts will literally shrink the world. Well, not literally, but devs will have to work harder and harder to create bigger zones, sacrificing the detail that makes Guild Wars 2 the epic game that it is for space/grind time, as WoW did. Previously massive, epic zones will become quick “Press your Autorun and Steer” activities and will drag aggroed mobs across entire zones. It’ll also make exploration, a rewarding and previously fairly challenging activity boring and bland.

Waypoints are a fine way of travel that requires you to actually explore a little. If you don’t want to put effort into Tyria, it’s devs should not put effort into you.

Mounts?

You can teleport across the entire map at the push of a button or take an Asura gate for the same effect and a little travel to accompany it. I, for one think that mounts is a stupid idea because there is almost -no- need for them. Mounts are just a way for lazy people to reach waypoints and explore/outrun mobs faster.

Not to make sweeping, generalized statements or anything, but that’s pretty much what I got out of your demands for speed increases.

I don’t know, I liked the Flame Legion Armor as well as several other variants of metal and medium armor.

But Charr will look silly in light armor, that’s a racial.

Wheeping Song.6423:

Hell yeah! we will rule the whole of tyria and gain world domination.

In order to achive this goal, we definetly have to be racist…..

belive me as soon as we gain world domination, we will start inventing machines in order to shrink everything in tyria to asura size. Chars, Norns, Humans and Sylvari will serve as our slaves.

it feels so good to be evil.

[Inquest mode online]

Slaves are inefficient and die far too quickly to make a long-term difference. We’ll just put all the lesser races into many small colonies devoid of resources and communication with one another and hold them in, entirely dependent on our aid. They will be allowed no texts or technology aside of clothing and meager shelter to minimize costs. Then we’ll periodically take them and put their offspring into the latest and greatest harvesting Golems— Equipped with a D-class aggression inhibiter and an obedience array in the soul core, of course.

Depending on the ear choice, I find it adowuble.

The only problem is when you’re wearing a hat and suddenly your ears puncture the brim.

I paid a gold piece for that, and my ungrateful Asura goes and breaks it because a — That is one big spider.

…Oh.

I’m an idiot >.<

Asura gates, probably the ones in Divinity’s. I’ve only walked from one city to another once, and that’d be from Rata Sum to The Grove, and they are pretty close together. It still took a while, most players would consider the journey impractical.

Norn…

Eat salad?

My mind is blown. I need to sit down.

I’m not saying they’re aliens, but…

I’ve seen Asura everywhere, from Caledon to Engineers working in Kryta and even a few in the Charr lands, whatever that polluted death star’s surrounding landscape is called.

That’d be because first contact happened a long, long time ago in Eye of the North, I think. Asurans have had a chance to set up gates and waypoints across the world, as well as move around and explore/live in it/contribute to it themselves. They aren’t going to just stay cooped up in Metrica their whole lives.

Agent Batanga: “Free Gorr or we’ll poke you right in the Arcane Eye!” -To the Arcane Eye. I’m pretty sure that I didn’t accurately quote her, but you get the idea.

The love that the RP and Art got in GW2 shocked me.

My heart stopped. I died.

Fortunately for me, my friend is a necromancer. So here I am, typing with my rotting fingers about how pleasantly, pleasantly surprised I am about the RP community.

Thank you, ArenaNet. You’ve done a fantastic job, and don’t let any trolls tell you differently.

Jaguars also have a bunch of unlisted abilities and buffs to damage while stealthed.

Seen this thread so many times.

Rifle for offensive, picking off defenders on walls namely. Longbow for defensive, like firing down off of a wall onto a horde of attackers//burning siege.

Tyria has a strange sun.

Chaos Archangel.5071:

There’s places/people to roleplay with in this game? Please tell me where!

Tarnished Coast, namely the Busted Flagon in the evening. That should get you started.

Guild Wars 2 isn’t dying. And it won’t for a while. People are far more patient with GW2 considering how wonderful it is than say SWTOR.

[ Ties hands to steering wheel ] I’m going down with the ship. Remember me fondlyyyy~!

Redrobin.5627:

Time to pick up a staff head to lions arch and rake in the coin like crazy.

Shake it, baby!

All races do this. My fem asura goes “AAAUUUHHH” when I jump over rocks.

Or break shovels, apparently.

Evolution. Teeth meant to chomp through flesh and hard carapaces, they lived underground for a long time, you know.
