Guild Wars 2

Just gonna toss my 2c in, not that it matters.

There are plenty of armor skins in PvE. Plenty, and I am not even talking about the Gem Store armor skins or outfits. The variety of looks this game offers is quite huge, it’s just that you are bored after 2 years and want something new. You don’t need armor skins to be a successful gamer at this game. I have no issue with Anet keeping the fresh skins in the gem store. It monetizes the game and it’s continued development and maintenance.

New things get added with living story and expanded pve content as the game develops. I really just don’t see the issue.

Remember back about a year and a half ago there was a code that when used in map chat would crash everyone on that map. Well I am suspecting something similar is back, as soon as people start mentioning client crashing or d/c, my client crashes.

I suspect someone is using some chat code….

Welp my turn, I use cats, regen hound and drake.

Cats cause one of my rangers is pretty much perma-setup as an Apoth/Condi ranger from my old wvw days, a build I still use in pvp. Regen hound cause it helps the melee and at times me, when I am on my dps ranger and don’t have the healing my Apoth ranger has. And drakes.

Rarely do I have dead pets. Dead pets are a clear sign of a lazy player playing a ranger.

Put the bottom play level appx. 20ft above the ground, have stairs that can get you back into the play levels. Remove the wurms.

Now there is still a chance you will die from the fall if your health is low, but it’s not the same amount of cheese.

Solo Queue is to GW2 what RA was to GW1. I don’t get why people don’t accept this.

Play teams or just stop QQing. It’s like saying “Whenever I drive my car there is always some idiot on the road speeding!” Yeah…..

and why?

Since there are tons of conditions being placed on them and they can’t be crit or knocked down, etc., curious to see what others use.

Go to the pvp forum and either find a thread already on this topic, start a new thread, or bring it up in the new Glorious Armor threads.

They should have a PvP track that rewards the previously PvP only armors.

Game does NOT recognize my keybinds that have been set to mouse 4, 5, wheel down, ctrol 4 and ctrl 5. This has happened after every patch for the last month now.

The keybinds still show in the appropriate settings as per my settings. However they do NOT work. I have to exit the client and reload the game. Every patch.

I do not know WHY this keeps getting set to Q:

Trying to find GS/Staff (as well as other Guardian weapon skins) that go well with this outfit for my Guardian. Chaos is too much glow, looking for a more earthly set that will match well. (didn’t post in Guardian as it doesn’t seem appropriate in that forum).

Suggestions? (I don’t have Ascended access nor Legendary)

I have 10 80s, have deleted 5 fully exotic geared 80s, currently working on a new 80.

Since I started doing PvP, I no longer have issues grappling with the limitations of PvE on multiple characters.

Now granted I could have stuck with the initial 5 slots and just made pvp trash alts I could delete any time but I wasn’t into GW2s pvp at the time.

Doesn’t take long to get 3g and 20 SP

Nobody should have to farm 20 SP just to unlock a kitten trait. This new trait system is terrible.

Then it is a good thing that it is only 1.5g and 10SP. You get tons of Scrolls of Knowledge from champ bags, so who cares?

This works very well….if you mindlessly farm champs in da champ train.

Yes, I wouldn’t mind seeing a PvP reward track you can earn PvP rewards from while playing PvP.

Craziness.

I stopped playing the game almost 9 months ago, since I returned I have noticed the skelk sound files were changed. Sounds are fine, but they are incredibly loud compared to most mob sounds. I would guess at least 25% louder. It’s rather grating.

air/fire for moar damage

I hear rumor it might have occurred with the Teq fix. Also that it has to do with 32b client on 64b machines. Dunno, but it is annoying.

I am not sure if Bloodtide is part of the same map genome, but Sparkfly and Timberfalls are associated with this bug.

The suddenly not able to move while trying to move bug has been in this game since RELEASE. Obviously they can’t fix it or don’t care, one of the two. It can be GAME BREAKING!

In pvp you get hammered down, you finally get to stand and can’t move and you think kitten , immobilized! But no, its this kitten movement bug!

You have to release your movement key (I use W for forward) in order for it to go away.

I can’t get anything done in Timberline Falls and adjacent maps. It’s happening to everyone in the maps. Client crashing constantly. Does not affect other maps, does not crash in pvp, only in Timberline Falls and adjacent maps.

Paragon and Dervish can rot in GW1, never cared for them, played them, pvped with them……just no.

Liewec.2896:

Q: what direction is this class taking?

A: unload, unload, UNLOAD, UNLOAD, UNLOAD, UNLOAD!

That attachement is awesome.

Thief will be fine, the changes hardly nerfs the class.

Adjust, play on.

The old pvp only armor could also be obtained via achievement chests, but I believe they were removed from all lists for now.

I think the designers have done a great deal to give a cape feel without having capes. You think clipping is bad now? Capes….will….be….horrible.

Kilts/waist wraps would be better. The point is they avoid the clipping you will have with Capes.

Quincy.2198:

PvE gets EVERYTHING, also we have to deal with it everytime.

Currently they can’t change their PvP build outside of Mists, so no, they don’t get everything.

zenleto.6179:

It doesn’t make anything harder. It just makes things different.

You must be new.

Never had this happen, dodge always interrupts any gathering I am doing. I am thinking you are having server:client lag issues.

Dodge most definitely does not stop or interrupt the harvesting animation.

You’re doing something else to cancel it first.

I usually try to move my character via double tap a direction or weapon swap, but this is unreliably inconsistent at best. I’ve had both of these methods fail sometimes – usually at the start of a second cast of the gathering animation.

It most definetly DOES. I just did it within the last hour……

For all you peeps that want to pay gems or have rank capped access, fine.

Still we need access to PvP Build from PvE locations. Please make this happen.

I realize there may be issues with the Gear portions of the PvP build panel and what is currently equipped for PvE, but that shouldn’t be too difficult to work out.

Never had this happen, dodge always interrupts any gathering I am doing. I am thinking you are having server:client lag issues.

Ravion Hawk.4736:

We need ALL the GW1 armors brought in and added to GW2.

I approve this.

While I never purchased EotN and any armor added from it’s release on, there were a LOT of great armor sets in GW1.

ima kongkittenninja.3052:

However, I think asking for a whole new dungeon or a precursor is a bit much for a character based birthday gift.

Its not just a “Character based Birthday gift” its gw2’s bday.

You are lumping two topics into one response. The initial point of this thread was about 2nd birthday awards for characters.

Perhaps you meant to quote someone who did this, but without the quote it appears you made the wrong assumption.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Considering the Devs have expressly said they have no problem with players using key runs to obtain keys, I’m confused about where they have stated it was not intended. Do you have a link?

I find key runs very enjoyable. I’m not sure why you think something I find enjoyable should be ‘discouraged’.

While I don’t find them intensely enjoyable, I do find the activity breaks up game play into another option of something to do. More options = less repetition = less boredom = more play.

Wolfey.3407:

It would be nice if they Rank Capped Solo Queue
Something like Dolyak to enter?

With Team Queue having no rank limit since you’re suppose to have a team compiled before you enter to begin with.

What? Why would you rank cap it? At best you might suggest rank splits in the queue.

Don’t like the gameplay, don’t solo queue. Issue resolved.

SoloQueue is almost like RA was in GW1. I don’t get where you expect pro teams to be randomly assembled.

There is a better solution to this, actually.

Add a PvP Build panel option on the left of the PvP panel. This way I can access my build even when in PvE areas including the cultural towns. This way I am not required to be in Mists to change my build, I do not forgo any waypoint costs to access the bank, Trading Post, etc.

Currently the only reason I leave toons in Mists is due to the fact I can’t alter PvP builds from any where else.

Sins.4782:

I don’t think the bank/TP thing would be that much of a problem if we could change our PvP build outside of HotM. At that point, the only reason to use HotM as a hub would be chatting with other PvPers between matches.

Guess I was 7 mins to long in the post box.

500 gems in the store would be all, enough for me to be happy. It is, after all, 2 years playing this MMO.

Makeover kit would be nice as an alternative, along with another thing or two. But I would rather have the gems, it’s like do I want my sister to get my some random tie for my birthday or the cost of the tie and let me buy what I would rather have.

The rune and sigil system of PvP needs to be brought over to PvE/WvW. Instead of these being “inserted” in to items, they should be inserted into a panel and able to be swapped out without destroying.

I would like to suggest a more drastic change. Once a rune or sigil is obtained it is “unlocked” account wide. Yes this may cause some economy destabilization initially, but much like mat prices were destabilized when Ascended crafted gear was introduced, a necessary temporary economy hiccup. The headaches and extensive grind the current system requires would be lessened a noticeable degree.

Pats self on back for a great idea

Nice thanks! /15 chars

Ah dulfy had one, linking for future users to find in this thread:

http://dulfy.net/2014/04/19/gw2-traits-unlocking-guide/

I checked via searching the web, but I can not find a list of methods to unlock traits other than buying them. Just returning to the game I haven’t heavily researched this new trait system and rather than go through them trait by trait to get the message of what to do to earn each one for each class, I was hoping to find a compiled list.

Anyone have a link to such?

Yes, and the problem is, when you switch from land to water or back you effectively swap weapons and lose them. It’s even worse with weapon swaps on land, most builds use the weapon switch often, thus reducing the usefulness of stacking sigils and increasing the usefulness of swapping sigils. It saddens me that stacking sigils are, for the most part, junk now.

A lack of communication can lead to a toxic environment of where the client feels they are being ignored. This will produce an outrage if left to fester.

Sadly the lack of communication leads to a toxic environment that is left to fester, and when moderation doesn’t prevent the toxic environment from feeding in upon itself, one could say the toxic environment is fostered.

If you buy an automobile and the manufacturer makes changes without your knowledge or input or consent, tell me you don’t have serious issues you can not redress? That is the analogy here.

You are sold a product, you experience a product, you want some improvements but you get only changes that hamper or do nothing to address the issues you have.

While they explicitly (they being any modern MMO developement company) state they can make changes without notification. Does that make it right? Does that make it fair? Is that really what a product producer should do? Almost exclusively? This builds animosity. It is allowed to fester due to little or no communication. One reaps what one sows.

Ranger will never be like thief, so if that is your thinking save yourself the agony of disappointment.

Ranger is a different animal, especially in PvP. You will rely more on vigor and dodging rather than stealth spam. In WvW Thief was my hardest competitor when playing my Ranger and roaming solo.

Poplolita.2638:

Probably because of it easily counters downed state #2?

I seriously doubt it was for the reason you mention. The skill has a stronger function outside of blinding a downed person. One of them being that it will likely not be possible to stack 3 stacks of stealth off heartseekering through it, along with the shorter attack durations between reapplying.

If any of the skins are still being sold on the Trading Post, it won’t happen.

However there could be some variations on older skins to bring them back and keep the skins different enough.

I play all classes in all formats. While some of the changes (negative) didn’t quite float my boat, I understood the reasoning and I think, overall, they were for the good of the game.

Lightsbane.9012:

is there a logical reason we don’t have this?
every other mmo i’ve played has had both face to face trading as well as auction houses, so after two years i’m still seriously confused.

In GW1 (early, first 2 years, dunno about after that period) scamming was widespread and fairly dominant. The team of devs were constantly getting input on the various methods to scam involving the trading panel/window and constantly having to resolve any issue they could or just put out warnings (which really doesn’t help the new player). I believe the headaches involved in all that led to the current system of the Trading Post or trade by mail completely at your own risk.

VideoGamermike.5813:

It doesn’t help that plays abused the living crud out of these things to such a degree they had little choice.

Using appropriate skills for appropriate purposes is abuse. Really?

Next up: Dev – OMG they are using HEALING skills to HEAL themselves. Quick, the nerf bat!

On the topic of Arah, but a bit off topic from your thread (sorry not meaning to derail it just seems an appropriate thread) does anyone ever do Story? I don’t see anything being advertised in LFG other than paid path runs.

Looking for someone to guide through Story, need it unlocked for pvp track.

If you feel I am infringing on your thread, just say so and I will remove. Thanks!

JonathanSharp.7094:

I can’t give out too much info, but I can let you know that we are working on a new game mode.

Thanks for the info, glad to here there are more modes on the horizon.

Can’t express how satisfying it is to actually see official replies, the PvP forum seems to get the fairly regularly.

I like to challenge myself at times when spectating and hotjoin the losing team, as long as they aren’t to unreasonably behind, to see if I can help pull them up

If they are further than 25% behind, I just continue to spectate. I don’t get into joining the winning side in hotjoins unless the margin is very narrow and I like the composition.

And here I thought that the Obsidian Sanctum update would quiet the small minority of GvG players.

You obviously missed the twitch viewers when EU v NA recently?

GOSU.9574:

GW2 has nothing to do with actual Guild Wars.

A point which no one except lore junkies gives a %$#@ about.

Uh no…..a point that GW1 HAD GVG. It had far more varities of PvP. You having issues with Lore is just you, no one in this thread is even discussing lore.

I did NOT say GW2 has nothing to do with GW1. Please read your own quote of my statement. GW2 has NOTHING to do with GUILD WARS, as in GUILDS FIGHTING GUILDS, as in GVG.
