Guild Wars 2

The account name “Reachout” is very aggressive for me, and maybe I can also feel a little pedopbear theme there, or satanist, like you want to reach out for my soul to sacrifice it to Grenth. If the admins could change that, it would be great.

Cowrex.9564:

The monk! I always wondered what happened to the monk after a 250 year time-skip from Gw1 to Gw2…

Teamed up with paragons, ritualists and made the Guardian. Or disappeared

sPvP needs a dev on like Devon. Someone who cares.

1. PvP – the whole

So while recruiting in the chat you want others to see that you are recruiting? Maybe rectuiting isn’t enough obvious..? I don’t think ppl would fight to join a guild just because you have this title under your name. 99% who would join a guild this way is such a newbie he wouldn’t even know what that title is.

I hate Charrs. Wish Ascalonians could take back the south or drascir. But Tybalt is awesome. He is my fav one too :P

Curo.2483:

Yeah that too. I tried to make my Charr as cute and small as possible, and he gets the voice of a big black guy, lol!

Reason: charrs aren’t cute and small. This isn’t hello kitty online.

Sry i know the lore but not that lore-ruining post-made asuran kittens… just doens’t make sense. With their megalasers why do they need other races? To use their lasers?.. Same goes for the charr. Pact is fighting with mostly asura/charr technology, almost 0 magic (aside from personal story and some minor rituals). The whole reason to unite and figh together just doesn’t make sense sometimes.

Only reason can be that they need more frontliners.. but charrs have tanks for that, asuras got golems, yet we are there fighting with swords. Casts feel dumb compared to the devices used in the game and that’s bad..

CHIPS.6018:

Anyone interested in playing an new insectoid race?

Males looks like dragonflies (various wing color and shapes)

It’s against the lore and straightness.

Once you’ve learned how to kill in hotjoin, go to tournaments. Ask ranked players what’s your class role, where to go, what to do. If you do this, they will see that you are a beginner, but also realise that you are eager to learn, so you aren’t a PvE noob.

This way they won’t be mad at you for ruining their game, and you will start a joruney to be a better player. (mostly)

You will learn your class role, where to go, and hopefully other’s roles. When do they need help and when not. What’s more important at the moment, captureing or killing svanir? Rush guild lord or hold points? When do communing buffs spawn? Things like this. Once you know the basics of your class, try out some others for a short time, so you will know their weakness.

Or just make Guild Treks available at the same time as bounties. So small guilds could get some merets from treks and and bigger guilds could get merits faster by doing bounties too.

We do bounty training atm with 5-6 ppl, we can do that! 50% of times, and we still enjoy. But I don’t think we have hopes for 2 targets or more.

gwawer.9805:

why is ur screen black and white

Because he is dead.

Actually that’s a very well balanced match.

You can’t be serious. Devs will never give us a whole continent just to make it one big instance for 1 person omk (oh my kitten). neither to join Palawa.

Norns are like like giant dwarves. They totally act like that. I don’t think they will add dwarves to the playable ones.

daydream.2938:

Im curious, are the leaderboards going to be a top 100 display?

how comprehensive will they be?

That’s a toplist not a leaderboard. It should display everyone.

Acidicore.3264:

The awakening of the elder dragons also would explain the quiet abandonment of the gods, with their source of power no longer in stasis

You misunderstand many many things. The gods still have the same power, the magic they gave to the world is the thing that no longer has the same power.

The Gods haven’t retreated because of the dragons. Why would Grenth come back after the death of Zhaitan? If he had wanted to stay, he wouldn’t left 1200 years before the awakening of a dragon whose mere existence was either unknown or rejected by the gods.

Elder Dragons are mainstream.. things.. GW1 had story, so Palawa would bring back a bit.

In gw1 he could be an ally because we were in lack of help, and he was the only one who could tell us how to cross the desolation’s cursed sand that kills the mortals stepping on it.

In GW2, he took over Elona, enslaving the people and conquering the kingdoms. With this, i don’t think he will be an ally. Humans will want to relcaim the land, mostly the Elonian refugees.

This will be an expansion for sure.

Erukk.1408:

I think people accidently downplay Palawa because he’s slightly comical in nature, just like Mad King Thorn. I’m sure he would hate getting compared to him though. They both fall under the “more powerful and malicious than they appear” category.

What I kind of want to know, is what the relationship between the Order of Whispers and Palawa when it comes to Elder Dragons? He could be a HUGE asset to have against them, but they still see him as a threat to Elona, since that was one of the reasons they were created for…

Actually in GW1 it was revealed that Palawa and Mad King hate each other.

50v50? We couldn’t get 40 ppl at a time to do a 3 round tournament. and Zerging wouldn’t make the PvP community happy. Otherwise, I’d like GvG back.

mbh.8301:

How do you respond to requiring one or more eles on a team in order to prepare for relic run?

RTL and teleports would make you drop it.

These ideas are based on GW1 with the mechanics and new game modes and secondary objects of GW2. It would also have some things for the GW1 veterans, see below

Also posted in:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Ideas-for-PvP-Heroes-Ascent-reworked/first#post1752086

Elimination:
First team to annihilate the opponent and kill their priest wins. Priests can resurrect people after every 1 min.

Conquest:
Simple point capture.

Relic run:
You have to grab a relic in the middle of the map and bring it back to your altar. Goal: 5 relics captured.

Ascending:
This map would have 3 levels entirery made out of bridges inside of a dome, crossing all over the place. There are 5 points to commune with, 2 at the upper, 1 at the middle and 2 at the level below. From the top level you could jump down to the middle or the level under if you want to be fast, or you could use the stairs for the safe way. This way the falling damage trait would make sense. If you commune and succeed, you earn 1 point for your team.
The goal is to get 10. The commune objects would spawn after one disappeared due to communing, anywhere in the 5 spots. Communing takes 5 seconds. The map would always have 2 objects spawned.

Portal run:
Here would be random spawning rifts all over the map. If you commune with one such point for 5 seconds, you get teleported out of the map, from where you can still see the fight but you can’t join back. The goal is to get everyone of your team teleported out. If a team has their last person in, the communing wouldn’t be interrupted by damage.

1v1:
Everyone would get one opponent in an arena style combat, while his party is watching from above. The the team winning more 1v1 battles will have the final victory. If a duel is a draw, the one dealing the most damage wins. Only one 1v1 would go on at a time, so others could watch, and that would pump some adrenalin for everyone.

Obelisk capture:
You have to carry a flag to an obelisk. There are 3 obelisks. If you capture an obelisk, enemies can overwrite that with their flag. If your team manages to capture all the 3, you win. If after 10 mins there’s no winner, the team controlling the most wins. If still a draw, last team standing wins.

Locked deathmatch
Elite skills are locked. Communing points spawn across the map, if you commune with one for 5 seconds, your can use your elite skill, and also recharges if it was on CD. This would bring in a new tactic, for example, having dedicated elite skill users (whit the most useful skill for the team) while the rest is shielding them.

Final map———————————————————————————
Hall Of Heroes:
3 teams woul fight here, like in GW1, sometimes with different game modes. Either:

1. King of the hill: help the ghostly hero capture the altar. The hero would have 3 times the health of Svanir. Channeling the skill that captures it when he is near takes 5 seconds and can be interrupted. Once captured, 1 point is awarded for the team every 20 seconds. Goal: 20 or 30 points.

2. Relic run: escort relic runners from your base to the altar. Relic runners are ghostly NPCs of the ones that fought there 250 years ago. Veterans would love that Runners can be slowed/hastened, but cannot be killed.

The winner team in the Hall would get a chest, just like in GW1. Chest could drop dyes, weapon and armor skins, a new finisher, gold, pvp materials, new minipets (like relic Runner, Ghostly hero). So Pvp players could make some money too.

What we want is Heroes’ Ascent! and without that kitten asura technology. Just pure magic, because that place had an aura. And not an Asura! >_>

Wouldn’t be bad btw, but I’m still suggesting to go play another game for that kind of PvP. What we want is Heroes’ Ascent! and without that kitten asura technology. Just pure magic, because that place had an aura. And not an asura! >_>

uberkingkong.8041:

Everybody wants 1v1 or 2v2… But I want 16v16. Or a big pvp game. In GW1 they started 8v8, then in the 1st or 2nd expansion they had 16v16 or something bigger than 8v8 and it was a lot more fun. Heck what about 5v5v5. GW1 had it they had up to 4 maybe 6 teams going at each other, halls of heroes!

If theres anything I remember the most about GW1 its agony in pve and halls of heroes in pvp and whoever had the hoh had the underworld.

Neither. That was 12v12.

And no, HoH had 3 teams. Of 8.

You don’t seem to remember too much :P

Runiir.6425:

Seriously, everything that is a poi should have lore surrounding it at our fingertips.
The WPs should have even MORE lore available to us ala a journal in our hero menu. After all, why did the waypoints get placed there by the asura? That in and of itself is a lore entry waiting to be explained.

Waypoints aren’t asura gates. Nothing to do with asuras. Waypoints don’t really exist in the lore, it’s just for fast travel for players.

Omg.. I took it for srs and I was happy Q_Q

Groups of 3 or more entering together. If below 3 you can’t join, how fill you find the mising 2 or 1 member? So only full teams could join that.

Ony the tengu has chances. Skritt, quaggans and so on, these are called lesser races, and it has a reason why. Centaurs? Really? They are in war with the humans. Besides, can you imagine them doing a dodge roll? Same goes for the krait, they are savages and haven’t go legs.. for leg armor.

The charr took 250 years to be at the state of making peace with humans.

The kodan are too norn-like.

Margonites were/are humans.

Harpies are too primitive and aggressive, they exist without capital, cities, lore or own playfields.

Largos are too few and prefer to hide.

Maybe dwarves, if the ritual would break after the defeat of Primordus, but I don’t think so.

So in my opinion, only the Tengu could be the 6th atm, and in a further expansion, the canthan Humans, (so nothing new race), but new starter areas and palyfields from lvl 1-80.

Jzaku.9765:

Gandarel.5091:

Necros can kitten bunker eles. Mostly. But with other classes, eles can survive in 3v1 sometimes, while mesmers die in 2v1, at least won’t be able to finish them off.

And once you learn how to find the real mesmer not the clone, it’s not that OP.

This is such a stupid thing to say. Anyone with half a brain can find the real mesmer, not to mention half the time the clones he’s kittenting out are running straight at you for a shatter.

Mesmers aren’t hard/unfun to fight because of IDENTIFICATION problems, they’re hard to fight because they throw a clustercat out into the field, can drop into stealth, and have a million (exaggeration wow) invulnerabilities.

I’m sure 70% of ppl crying here about the mesmer being OP can’t find the real one. Not like it’s that hard.

If you are with noobs, they won’t resign. Won’t even know what’s that. Or where the chat is. Or if he/she is with players or NPCs.

Royal, we don’t need /eat. First, a /flex and /guitar, so the core/GW1 features would be nice.

I’m trying to save your from wasting time on this suggestion. No offense.

Give up dude. They made lots of bad lore decisions, starting with destroying the lroe of Gw1 and focusng only on dragons. kraits are just a bad idea that can’t be carried out.

If you know nothing about the lore then you should stop.

The Kodans got no capital, they are just refugees, with simple story and they have too much in common with the Norn.

Quaggan, Hylek, Skritt and so on, they are called the ‘lesser races’, so no.

Our only possible option are the tengu, and i think we will get them soon.

Private servers will cost gems, some new pvp skins and cow finishers too.

But in PvP, you can make 2 coppers a day (daily pvp gives that much).

How are we supposed to get those if we don’t want to play pve…? In GW1 you had some methods for this.

Also, I’ve never seen a cow finisher. Why would we see any private servers then?

This just won’t happen. The krait are ravaging the coasts, slaving and slaughtering every race they can find. Suddenly they woul be like: ‘oh, let’s makepeace with everybody, give up all what we are and ask for help from those squishy ones we used to enslave’ – yeah, sure..

Not to mention the combat issues, jumping, and so on.

I don1t know how can people come up with the weirdest new playable race ideas.

Flame legion shamans started to worhisp destroyers at the end of GW1 but they’ve failed with that and the destroyers killed many of the shamans. Not an option.

If you already got one from PvP daily, then that’s why.

Actually, sometimes i want to do soloque, but I don’t go there alone because that would destroy my rating for sure.

Give us an unrated tournament too, where players could practice without burden. And only soloquers could join.

Or just give it another rating ladder.

I’ve got no problem wih him. However, I miss Tybalt and Forgal, 2 really kitten characters, i hope they will return somehow.

Personal story is good from lvl 1-50 and then again from lvl 70-80, i enjoyed those quests.

But use less technology. This makes every class feel dumb but the engineer, and every race but the asura/charr.

Dude, ever heard of waypoints?

And no, go play another game for mounts.

Dear dev team. As far as I know, all the rights from GW1 goes to Arenanet and NCSoft, so feel free, use your own ideas that were wotking in GW1. That game was far more successful and GW2 has much to learn from that. Mostly in PvP.

Please, consider implementing the ideas from GW1 and overhaul some mechanics. One of the best parts in GW1 were the variety of builds. Add more weapon/elite/other skills to the game. We want to make our builds. We want to change our weapon skills not just the weapon we are using.

Make spears usable while out of water, too.

Xephier.1647:

I was having so much fun with this game, getting my guard and ele to 80 that I’d completely overlooked it myself but it occurred to me recently that this game lacks a 2 handed axe weapon, this is easily one of my fav weapon types from other mmorpg’s and I’m not sure if there’s plans to implement it later on but I hope so!

The dev team already kitten this game’s lore and basically everything it had built up in GW1. No, 2 handed swords were acceptable at some point, but now the axes… no.

They should make spears a land-weapon again, like they did in GW1 as the paragon calss’ main weapon.

Since the headstart of the game the prfession trainers are bugged. You can’t buy cooking/ blacksmithing and other ingredients, nor learn a profession. All the trainers are bugged. It’s the 7th month…

Lil Puppy.5216:

Would need Elona expansion for roller beetles to be lore friendly. Unless we get some moa races. But yeah, some parts of Lion’s Arch would be great for racing ( I think there’s even a track somewhere for races ).

I know beetles were seen mostly in Elona but roller beetle racing was a Canthan game.

Half a year, would be nice to fix this bug.

BardaTheHobo.9752:

TheDaiBish.9735:

I actually think this is already in-game. There’s two crossed swords on the Preview window that shows your PvP gear.

Unless I’m totally misunderstanding you.

I think he is talking about the character select screen. If he is not though then yes your solution works

Yep, I’m talking about the character selection screen.
