Guild Wars 2

It’s up to the individual how they play in open world and up to the vets to teach them in group play.

To be honest I learned more about a character after getting to 80 than on the road up to 80. I could put on my Ascended gear and go out and swap skills without worrying about dying all the time.

If it doesn’t come with the shared inventory slot now, it may be bundled with one at a later date. Or the level booster, additional character slot, and inventory slot.

Imaginos.3756:

They could also change the way that elite specs are unlocked and do something like require you to farm up 250 Glint Snot points from Glint Snot challenges in order to spend your snotdragon points unlocking your elite.

Ask “snot” what your MMO can do for you, but what you can do for your MMO!

Aryan Arlande.6184:

It will be fun, if some Raptor tramples you into ground.

I’m not looking forward to being on the receiving end.

Give them a month of actual game-play to see how the mechanic plays out in WvW, PvP, raids, fractals, and PvE before a major change comes into effect.

Real life plays little into MMORPGs and for good reason.

I think the first shot should be a “free-bie” and then the PC, NPC, or monster knows it’s being targeted by a sniper. Maybe even the first shot, getting dialed in, does half damage, but causes cripple or confusion or immobilize.

I kind of thought of the same thing for crafting precursor weapons for Legendaries.

They already call for a (ridiculous) number of mats in total, why not figure out a way for a person to level in crafting proficiency right along when crafting a Legendary Weapon?

Similar to the open-world story line issue, it would add synergy within the game.

You don’t need a longbow if you are shooting arrows into a portal and having them appear elsewhere.

I really need to slow down when reading topic titles.

I thought you wanted to discuss DEADEYE UNDERWEAR.

I can’t say enough about the professionalism that went into the layout, ease of reading, and time it took to put it all together.

I would assume so. Core HPs and HoT HPs fit the same slots, so I would assume the same would hold true for PoF.

The mastery track is new so any unused core or HoT MPs wouldn’t fit into PoF slots.

Things evolve … so does warfare.

Look back at 1767 AD: a majority of the world was colonized by Western European empires: England, France, Spain and Portugal were world powers, along with the Ottoman empire, Quing Dynasty in China and the Prussians of the Eastern European Steppes.

We may look and speak similar languages today, have similar battle-lines or alliances, still fight for territory and resources, but what we use is quite different.

I would love to see a version of the Dervish and Ritualist.

The only thing we can do now is keep letting ANET know that a high enough percentage of players want to see something (like a Dervish) and see how they interpret it into the story.

Right now you have three specialization slots for each character to choose to have active at any given time; three core or two core and the class elite.

Now each class will be able to access an additional elite specialization. You will still be able to play with your original three core specializations or two core + the elite you are used to OR train in the new expansion elite. You won’t loose anything you have already gained.

Right now one of the hottest Legendaries is THE PREDATOR rifle. Numbers of those for sale have dropped significantly.

We’ll see what the Deadeye has in store. If it sucks, numbers for sale may go back up as decide not to use it as a rifle skin.

I can’t see people using HMS DIVINITY as a sniper rifle.

TP is supposed to mirror a real economy; supply and demand regulates the prices of materials and value Gems are worth.

I would like to see a “Historical Price” tab so people could see the trends in item prices. If the price is trending down, hold; if the price is trending upward, sell (or hold for a couple more days).

Right now there is a formula they follow (I guess), but for players who are trying to make money to buy the latest whatchamacallit it’s all hit and miss right now.

I haven’t heard anything about new pets with the expansion.

Did I miss it or has it just not been talked about?

What kind of pets do you want to see?

Tie up your mount at the entrance to the city. No one wants to step in a huge pile of digital mount dung. I almost attached a GIF of a rhino doing its business, but if you want to see it … google it yourself.

Although that could be a new salvage item.

As a skin or protection and stat combo?

Here’s a spider for the ages —- if you can catch it!

Sometimes I like leveling as much as playing max characters, but don’t want to delete a PC with maxed stats and abilities.

Using the mounts PCs will be to access places that a normal PC couldn’t survive (e.g. Sulfurous Wastes in GW1). Or Drytop movement through quicksand, up cliffsides, and across expanses.

A bush/tree with berries that bear fruit that makes us grow/shrink to fit into small crevices to access new areas of the map or step over obstacles.

It’s not the fact that they are adding maps that worries me, it’s the achievements that are group-bound that I can’t finish in the old maps due to a lack of group involvement. Sure there are instances here and there where PUGs are able to bring down a single monster, but what about, the events on multiple fronts? Or the world bosses that require coordination?

I enjoyed being able to trade builds in GW1.

In order to bring in a new race, programmers have to go through and enter voices for each and every contact that character makes in the entire world.

It’s easier to bring in a new profession and keep the races the same.

I was a person who was happy with GW1 and was NEVER going to get GW2. Now I’m just as addicted as I was to GW1.

I think now that the system they created with GW2, expanded with HoT, and are now getting ready to expand again has been tested and fixed for the majority of the players.

With each expansion, you will see fewer people in the older parts of GW2, so they may need to find alternate ways to craft 1st and 2nd Gen Legendary weapons. That wouldn’t hurt my feelings a bit.

It stands to reason that the more area you cover, and don’t increase the population, the fewer people you will see.

Looks like he got out of bed, ran his hands through his hair, and ran off into battle. That’s no way for a knight to present himself. I’m surprised the new image doesn’t have a 5 o’clock shadow as well!

Asuran male: Redd Cell Sixx

In honor of Richard Marcinko, the creator of Seal Team Six, Red Cell, and ousted from the Navy for making too many commanders look bad. I just wanted a name as a place-holder to see how it felt. I probably won’t keep him as a Mesmer, but may go with a Norn Warrior soon.

Does it matter to ANET how the items are acquired? Probably not. They would be just as happy if we would all lay down a credit card and buy all the mats we needed instantly as much as if we would play for hours and obtain them organically.

What determines what is Soul-Bound and what is Account-Bound? Gear and materials.

I think this is why they are Account Bound instead of Soul Bound.

You can put them in the bank and trade them between characters.

And because they can change stats, you only need one set for everyone.

Thanks for the new look of the Black Lion Trading page, the optional additional Tyrian Mastery Points, gathering the traveling scrolls into a single tome, and the inventory items added to the bank.

I’m sure there are other modifications I haven’t listed or don’t know about yet, but I’ll keep my eyes open.

If these are user ideas, please help us give credit where credit is due so we know our voices are heard and continue to submit ideas on how we would like to improve the game.

Check out Wal-Mart. Both of my local ones carry the $25 cards

Great idea. I would also like to be able to search for account bound crafting mats that may not be in the bank but a character’s inventory. Let me know which character has that specific item.

I know many people will say to do a better job with inventory management, but there are times when space demands keeping items with a character and not in the bank.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Living_World_Portal_Tome

It just condenses them all into one slot. You buy them individually and add the “pages” to the tome. Instead of 6+ slots taken up for scrolls not you have one with the ability to add any in the future.

Double-click the tome to access any of the scrolls you have already purchased.

Let’s call it a Staff-Caster for now. It would fit in the Scholar category, but I could see it as an Adventurer just as easily.

Imagine your lone adversary on a walkway. He spins his radiant staff off his shoulder in a flourish and seemingly scribes glowing sigils in the stones around him before flipping backward into a defensive posture. As your party cautiously walks the path, the sigils explode into a myriad of spells that wound and envelop your troupe in fear. All the while he waits, taunting you from afar, spinning his staff, and sending spells ripping into your helpless group. Those who do make it through see him again strike the ground, writing spells in the stone around him, calling forth an army of minions that charge into the fray right along with his deadly spinning staff.

I can see this profession being like the Elementalist in that it lacks weapon-swapping choosing to focus on casting. They make up for it by summoning multiple allies for a short term, as well as creating conditions to bottle-neck and slow down foes.

Staff wouldn’t be the only weapon, but it could take the slot of the long- and short-range weapon if necessary. Dagger, Focus, Pistol, Scepter, Short-bow, Torch, and Warhorn are all current weapons I could see in their inventory.

Now, maybe I’m completely out of it, but without our individual fantasies life it a pretty boring place.

When was the last time a new weapon class was added?
Break down the professions already in play; each have long-, med-, and short-range damage capabilities. Some do focus on more of one than another, but that’s to be expected. In order to bring in another class of weapon each profession would have to be evaluated to see where it would fit or if it should be left out. There are no profession-exclusive weapons — yet.
Scythes, crossbows, and throwing spears seem to be very popular additions if a poll were to be taken. Others may be pole-arms, whips (or the ol’ ball-and-chain), summoning crystals (shields, swords, or minions), or suits of armor (a-la the Asuran Golem with up-gradable accessories).
Maybe we won’t see anything.

Thank you for the great idea.

Inventory Management just got better.

Good to know. I’ve been adding a few points of Toughness to Trinkets to add to armor/defense thinking it was helping my survivability.

On the other hand — THANKS A LOT!!! Now I have to go through every one of my characters and re-evaluate each piece of armor/weapon/trinket/backpack I own!!!

As the world of GW2 continues to expand, more and more shortcomings are coming to light about crafting Legendary items. As I’ve read many threads, these are the most complained about issues. This isn’t a complete list by far and I’ve added in my opinions to each issue.
• Cost in gold or time – what did you expect? When you build a Lamborghini, it’s going to cost money and take time to do it right. If you want the same stats without the cost, craft a bunch of Ascended items (like I did).
• Can’t complete Jumping Puzzles to get items – Parts of this I do agree with, the grandmasters want to make sure you really, really want to craft this item. Don’t waste their digital time if you aren’t willing to put in the time to improve yourself.
• Some items require a group effort, it’s (daily/weekly) time sensitive and I work, people are migrating away from areas – An area I can get behind. LFG doesn’t always work; the perfect storm of getting the group together, having the right group make-up, and then defeating the monster is becoming even harder.
• Allow Ascended items to have 1 or 2 slots where Legendary-like abilities can be imbued into them during the crafting process – I like this, don’t give an Ascended weapon the entire list of abilities Legendaries have, but if a person wants their weapon to have the footfalls and draw animation or stat swap and sound, that wouldn’t push things over the top. If these were permanent abilities when crafted, some thought would have to be put into what a person wants.
• What about those of us who want the skins of a Legendary without the abilities? – I don’t have any real thoughts on this one. I would kind of like to have an Ascended item with the skin of a Legendary. I don’t care about the footfalls, stat-swapping, missile animation or anything else, it just fits the image of the character.

Let me know what you think. Be (somewhat) kind, I’m only trying to help the process not just point out what someone thinks are bad and is therefore universally wrong with the whole system.

Full disclosure — I have no Legendary Items, but love the look of the Heavy Legendary Armor, Nevermore, and Frostfang.

With the an update coming around the corner will we finally see a new weapon class.

With the advent of the Engineer, I would have thought the inclusion of a crossbow would be a perfect meld between the compact short-bow and the pistol.
It would be a great deliverer of poison for Rangers.
The Legendary Assassin/Demon Stances of the Revenant could make use it as well.

I actually think Final Rest looks just as good for a fraction of the price.

Another rant against Legendary Crafting. You may quit reading if you want.
I’ll give a specific example: killing the Vinetooth Prime to begin crafting Nevermore. I’ve been at this for the better part of a year now. Trying to get a group together to take on the creature is difficult to do in the time allotted when everyone is focused on gaining access to the Eastern Gate and the city chests afterward. There is no guarantee that, if you should get a group, and activate the portal, the Prime will show. And this is one of the first steps of the process.
Having to go through a dungeon, raid, or fractal, something that is always available is one thing. Win or lose you can start over right away with a new build, group, or profession, but having to wait an indeterminate amount of time for the right circumstances seems a bit too much of a gamble for the very first step.
Am I being unreasonable in my outlook?

Who says Legendary Weapons/Armor must be crafted by going through a combination of HoT, raids, fractals, dungeons, or jumping puzzles? Are you telling me ANET can’t come up with challenging material for people to do in regular PvE maps to call a weapon ‘legendary’?
There seems to be small gaps between crafting the lower tier weapons (fine, masterwork, exotic) and ascended weapons, but a huge leap to achieve the legendary status.
Maybe adding a channel or two while crafting ascended weapons for special features; special footfalls, changing stats, animation when weapon is drawn, or ranged combat animations, etc.

Marpo.8695:

Another, maybe faster, method is to set options – content guide to “hide events and personal story”. It’ll point you to the closest poi/vista/heart you’re missing on that map.
Useful if you’re left with few things, VERY useful in Draconis Mons ;_;

This is the method I always use; F11 (game menu), change “Default” dropdown to “Disable …”

Points to closest hearts, POI, waypoints, events and undiscovered areas of the map.

Look at the end and work forward. It’s easy to spend short-sighted (like I did). I earned 4 points and spent them where I could as opposed saving them and looking at what I wanted to do in the future.
I wish I had worked on my Legendary Crafting line (Pact) before populating some of the others. If you don’t do fractals, shove your points into that crafting or gathering.
I’m working on Ley Line Gliding (HoT) right now. There are quite a few mastery points available once I get that finished.

Thanks, I’ll check them out today.
Any help is appreciated.

How do people learn fractals/raids when then the learning curve is life or death?

I’m trying to get into fractals and raids, but when each person has a specific person role to play and a single person isn’t doing their part (aka me) … the team fails. I feel intimidated to get into that part of the game because I don’t know what to do.

I’m also finding that in certain cases these are becoming a cookie-cutter approach; your team has to use a Mesmer, Druid, two warriors, and a Guardian or it will fail. There doesn’t seem to be room for the random necro or elementalist.

Tying achievements to certain JP’s has become a near game ender for me.

They should add flavor and challenge those who want to try them, like raids, fractals, and dungeons, not be mandatory to finish a general “map quest.”

Does completing the map on each character give a point or only the first character on the account?

Tried to search multiple sites for the answer, but could only find how to achieve the ones you can achieve only once.
