Guild Wars 2

I am sorry for creating yet another topic for this item, but this one is on different matter.
I have 2 issues with this item, and I am just genuinely curious if someone else shares my opinion….

1. The castbar while mining. I know, a stupid thing, but I am used to it, I usually watch the castbar, and not the animation, so I know when my character is done mining. Can we get the castbar on the Molten Pick fixed?

2. The flashy animations while mining. Some people may enjoy it, but it really bothers me…Can we have an option to disable it or something?

Thank you!

To contribute to the thread, I opened 9 chests with keys I got from completing maps and story quests on my other character, and didn’t got a single ticket. Then I opened 1 chest on my current main, and got 1 ticket. RNG…It is sad to see that people dump so much money in keys :/

The description says that it has the same efficiency like the Orichalcum Mining Pick. But I really need a confirmation from a dev – if, eventually, you guys release a new patch/expansion/whatever you wana call it, and therefore you introuduce a new tier of mats and mining pick, what exactly will happen to the Molten Pick? Is it still going to be viable and updated?

Same question goes to all the future cash shop tools for harvesting and logging axe that you are going to introduce soon.

With or without mana – it is the same. Resource system like the one thieves have? Maybe a good idea, so every class has its own. But mana, like AION or WoW? Whats the difference with or without? Oh, no, I am out of mana, I need to refile…And? What new to the game does it bring?

I used mine on a GS for my guardian, altho’ I liked the hammer more, but I use GS most of the time.

I see, thanks for all the replies, guys!

You should play games for fun and having over 400 gold shouldn’t be what makes it fun for you.

Oh, so now we tell people what SHOULD be fun for them? Are you for kitten real?

We had capes in DAoC and it looked great for It’s time and caused no real lag. We have much better CPU’S these days.

Not sure why not besides clipping which already happens, so what?

Just because we already have some clipping issue it doesn’t mean we should add more.

The problem with capes is the Charr. They run on all four, which apparently created huge amount of clipping, and it didn’t look good (according to ArenaNet)

I think the only way to add capes to the game is to set a race limit on them, leaving the Charr out. I don’t know if Charr players would like this.

Or have the option to make the Charr walk on 2 feet when using a cape, this will require animation work but can be done.

Or, you know, give the people the option to disable the capes (on themselves and others)?

The “holy trinity” is removed just on paper. It is still in the game.
I think the removal of the holy trinity is good, it is just Arenanet that did it aa bit wrong.

Assyrian.4827:

1-Removal of holy trinity with nothing replacing it.

Exactly. They removed it by replacing it with…holy trinity.

Your point about the zerg is also valid…at some point.

Hello guys, I have this question. I am thinking to change my HDD to SSD.
Is it going to have some impact on my overall performace, or GW2 is not so hard drive dependent?

Killing a level 14-16 creatures on a level 14-16 toon does not take any longer.

I’d like the game to be just as difficult in Queensdale as it is for the same character in Orr.

You mean, a content designed for players that do not have all their skills yet unlocked, nor their traits (and probably newcomers), should have the same difficulty as Orr? What?

Couple of issues here.

1) Players at the Zone’s Level
Yes, speaking for myself, I would like the game to be at least within 10-15% (sometimes harder!) of the challenge in areas like orr at ALL stages and at ALL levels (except perhaps the starter zone). Anything less is boring, just dull.

This is, of course, relative. So, the content should be appropriately scaled to feel as hard as that depending on the skills/traits/items available to the player.

2) Downscaled Players
When I am downscaled as an 80, or any level in between, in a lower level zone I want to be put in the shoes of those players in terms of challenge.

I want the challenge to be the same, or very close to, the level of challenge I have described above. This shouldn’t affect players AT the zone’s level. It just requires adjustment to my downscaled stats.

Funset.7893:

Killing a level 14-16 creatures on a level 14-16 toon does not take any longer.

I just tested this on my lvl 14 mesmer and fights took 7 – 12 seconds. I still found it pretty easy but nowhere near as trivial as the same zone on my 80.

I am sorry to say it, but this is just…like your opinion and personal demands, man. I like to feel more powerful in the low level zones. It is fun, in my opinion.
I want to kill within 3 seconds the mobs in 50-79 level zones, should ArenaNet cater to my needs and demands?

CETheLucid.3964:

Do you plan to work with one skin on six different characters

You got it right.

CETheLucid.3964:

You can already do this with transmutation stones and crystals!

If you transmute a skin onto a no level req white item or even any other item that is not soulbound, you then make that skin “account bound” when you transfer the skin to a non-soulbound item.

You can then take your new account-bound and formerly soulbound skin and apply it to another weapon or armor (of the same type) that you’d like on any other character on your account.

Awesome, right?

Yes, but then I need to make this exercise each time I decide to switch a toon?!

What do you guys think about the idea of making the weapon skins (EXCEPT the legendaries) account wide for a small gem fee?

I know another mmo is adopting this system now, so was curious about our community’s opinion on that matter.

Here ya go

Thanks man!

mrauls.6519:

I use PoV, but I don’t use 2h mastery. The reduce in 2h cooldowns doesn’t change much for me. I haven’t used pack runes before. I’m pretty much critting with each hit at 55% c. chance, so even with a high uptime on Fury, I’d rather keep the stats I get from divinity runes

Could you please post your stats unbuffed? Much appreciated!

I decided to move on to Neverwinter.

Ive never seen so clunky game in my life. How do you people even like it?

It may be clunky, but I’d rather play a clunky game that knows how to balance classes than a game with great graphics that sucks at everything.

Because u had the time to explore the endgame (pvp and pve wise) on every single class in a freshly released game in open beta? Really?

I’m going purely off of Perfect World’s other games for my opinion on Neverwinter. If they know how to balance classes in 15 games, then I think they can do it one more time.

There is a big difference between a developer (studio) and a publisher.

Would love to see polearms and two handed axes in the future.
And some cool and extraordinary one handed weapons as well :P

Mad Mardine is bugged right now, there is an event going on, and no way to complete it. We can not use the catapult.

There is an unlimited axe and sickle in the store? I cant find them…

Delryn.7235:

I understand everyone has their own opinions but how as Anet nerfed everything?

As far as class balance goes EVERY class got ONLY buffs and no nerfs; as far as I know that alone means they didn’t nerf everything.

Guardians strongly disagree! :P

Hi

Absolutely not, my wife would kill me.

Daily reminder: Dont marry.

On topic: No, I would not, because the game is lacking a lot.

A video showing the Temple of the Silent Storm map in GW2. The content of the video is kinda irrelevant to the subject of my thread. So this is the official stream of GW2, I suppose they have a good high-end PC for streaming and recording, and yet…the game runs awful. Why is it so hard nowadays to release a well optimized game? We have many examples of a bad optimized recently released games – swtor, or rift (2 years already and 0 improvements whatsoever). Are you guys working at all on the GW2 optimization? Or do we really need a 3000$ PC to run this game smooth?

I am sorry to disappoint you, but the server status has absolutely nothing to do with the current players logged in.

Stop comparing guardian’s dps with the warrior’s. It is not even slightly close. If u plan to make a guardian just to play it as a dps, I will save u from ur misery with my advice – better just roll a kittening warrior.

It is called dev’s flavor. Also “balancing” around the PVP (which is the case in all the MMOs) hits really hard the PVE side of the game. Which is the case in GW2 as well.

I have yet to see a game that have separated builds and skills for PVP and PVE.

I liked the puzzle this time. It wasnt SUPER hard, but it wasnt that easy either. A friend of mine couldnt make it yday, so he will continue trying today. And in general I like the Christmas atmosphere more than the Halloween (maybe because I am not from the USA, also I am wondering why the Halloween event was introduced as a Halloween event, while this one is introduced as Wintersday, instead of a Christmas event they both are religious anyway, right?) one, so I liked this puzzle more than the clocktower.

I use 0 5 30 30 5 with mostly knight armor (power, perc, toughness), berserk jewelry and divinity runes. Works fine pve wise I am not a pvp expert, so cant give any hints about it. Altruistic healing with Empowering Might is gg Especially if u invest some stats in Healing Power.

Hm…OP, didnt u hear that GW2 wont have dedicated tanks or healer before buying it? There is tones of information on the internet, how did u miss it? This is like…buying diablo game and whining that there is no healer o.O

Altho some classes have perfect support roles of healing and buffing, what u cant do is the target healing. Roll a guardian or an elementalist maybe!? But if u were looking for a classic version of a healer (wow-like), u are looking in the wrong game dude.

Welcome dude! Enjoy!

I am glad u provide all the information about the event, the activities and whatnot. Not like the Halloween event. Dont listen to the whiny minority, if they want to solve super hard puzzle, and strain their brains, there are enough puzzle games out there

I think CET is fine since it covers bigger territory and population in Europe. Ppl that live west of CET can just -1 from the current CET, and ppl that live east can +1. Simple…
Also i think servers are located in CET country?! Not sure about this one tho.

Do not read the forums but go and play the game.

Hey, OP, u should use the “In my opinion” in the title.

If u want endless grind, and struggle, feel free to purchase barbablo 3 and lvl through all the super meaningful PANTAGON lvls there.

We like it as it is here. U should not feel like completing the events on every single map as mandatory, u should do it if u like the exploration. Also i dont get why max lvl should be hard to reach? This is the most annoying part of every MMO out there, at least for me – the kitten leveling. I just hate it, with passion.

What means PvE servers?

I have both guardian and a warrior, and OP, u should not expect to play the warrior like a guardian. This is all I have to say.

I like the graphics, the landscapes, the art, the environment, and everything related. Is one beautiful game
I like the combat system (all its parameters, including downed and the ability to res/help everyone anytime).
I like the leveling system. Like the exploration.
I also like how grouping has benefits for both sides! Unlike some other mmos, grouping in gw2 is always beneficial.
I like the gear progression in gw2 (pre-FotM). It is awesome that u can actually buy the endgame gear from the Auction

Hello everyone,

What means +10 to all stats?! I was arguing with my friend, who even has the runes in all his gear, and he said they do not increase the Healing Power and Condition dmg. I checked the gw2 wiki and it says that they increase all primary stats along with Healing Power and Condi Dmg.

So who is right?

The population consist of 80% warriors, 10% guardians, and 10% the other classes. It is absolutely normal to see a lot of 5 signet warriors.

The risks of using focus! (poor u guardians)

Schnuffles.5369:

Necros – Very long bug list of traits and skills not working.
Ranger – Warrior can easily out dps them at range, pet mechanic is horrible.
Mesmer – Good utility for glitching dungeons and fractals, also useful in WvW. An ok class if thats your thing.
Engineer – In order to achieve the same damage as other classes, you need to mash the keyboard till your fingers bleed.
Thief – Good if you like running away from everything.

U missed the elementalist, but it is pretty much a good summary

They should have made the price 1000, or even 5000 gold for the icon, because now most of the so called commanders have the title just to show off how rich they are, not for being useful in WvW. However, it is not entirely their fault. The price of the title is just too low imo. Also I dont mind them walking around with the icon turned on.

No. The initial purchase works as a barrier for many BAD things. Buy to play is ok. Also the f2p games are popular with their cash shops and the unbreakable bond that it has with the gameplay. So going f2p is a nonsense.

I think it is a good idea to implement a LFG channel that works and in all the major cities and is common. This will decrease the population in LA, and therefore the lag. What do u think guys? I know many ppl like for example DR more than LA and prefer to stay there, but because of the lack of LFG channel they can not.

Thank you for your feedback.

…?!

/thread

Yeah right, no computer…are u posting from a potato?!
U cant “unregister” the game, nor to change the account’s email address. And I guess it is made on purpose, to prevent account selling.

2 friends on mine got hacked and their account robbed in 1 week period. The one of them has the commander title. It is really weird that 2 ppl that I actually know, are hacked. Cant imagine how many others got hacked, but are not on the forums to let us know.

And no, they are not 12 year old school boys who share their acc info with the world. And they are using unique password to their accounts. Some weird s***ts are goin on in arenanet headquarters…

The first one requested an account restoration, but they said they cant do it. Wait what?! A company for hundreds of millions dollars can not restore a robbed account? Are we in the stoneage?! The guy with the commander title got his account data completely changed – mail, password, everything, and the support told him, attention guys, that he has a BETA code on his account, and they cant help him?! Ahaha what?! Get ur **** together arenanet, and help those who got hacked and robed, cuz it is not a coincidence, nor their fault that ur security system s****.
