Guild Wars 2

so we’ve already been told about the arena and shown that we can upgrade our halls with different things to be more social and hang out with our guild friends

my suggestion is a number of minigames (one promised? pre launch) that you could build/buy/hire for the guild hall seeing how they are so massive

1) polymock – we were told we were going to get this before launch and i was excited to see what the guild wars 2 version would be like but alas, its still not here having said that, i think it’d be awesome if it were possible to use the arena or build a separate one in the guild hall for polymock battles (for those who didnt play guildwars 1 or dont know, it was described as pokemon on steroids)

2)glider races – we’ve been shown in the youtube video about bonus features you get for pre-purchasing the new expansion that you’ll be able to use your glider to get around your guild hall, i think it would be amazing to get some way to race the gliders on a set course, similar to the guild rush challenge

have any other suggestions?

you can have multiples of them int he hall, once you put it down you’ll have the option of deciding between 1 of 3 things: a charrcopter, a vine wall and a dragons head statue thing, the examples that the dev used was to make a maze out of the vine walls or write your guild’s name in dragon heads

thanks for the info – just hope they see my other issue, its getting really annoying

Sometimes when starting up the game, I get a bug/glitch where animations happen extremely quickly, this includes idle animations (making character models appear to be ‘jiggling about’, the loading circle cycles really fast, then when I get into the game, all other character models, flames, clouds etc are all happening really quickly, when I try moving, the movement is also greatly increased, allowing me to traverse distances in very little time, this effect lasts only a few seconds after I start to walk and when its over, I stay at the location I moved to, making it seem as though it wasn’t a graphical glitch.

Another issue I’ve been having is that my controls sometimes freeze up during gameplay, when this happens, it seems as though the last keys I pressed (usually movement) are stuck down and no other controls are being accepted, this lasts for 30sec-1 minute, when its over, all the keys I pressed in that time are activated, this is especially annoying in combat/jumping puzzles, this only happens in guild wars 2

harpoons arent necessarily fired from a gun (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harpoon) so long as it doesnt have “gun” after it, treat it as spear

Bathos.6341:

I wonder how Kuunavang is related to the Elder dragons?

either shes a champion of (selbbub) an elder dragon or shes just an old/powerful saltspray dragon

on twitch, the new poi episode, pause at 27:25 to see the new revenant logo :P

isnt sprinting just swiftness?

there are dinosaurs – at least 3 types http://uk.ign.com/articles/2015/02/03/how-guild-wars-2s-mastery-system-could-change-mmos-forever

memoies are what make us who we are – ghosts are often explained to be residual memory left over – strong emotions usually tied to them

sylvari memories are stored in the dream so their ‘souls’ become part of the dream – that and the fact that their entire race is only 25 years old so there havent been that much time for ghosts to appear

tequatl is becoming the next elder dragon

male human, big/muscly build – zodiac armour, flameseeker prophecies (might take me a while to get that) and fiery dragon sword

he will be my gw1 character brought back to life

its not speculation – its wishful thinking – there wont be another starting area, its a new class not a new race

Malthurius.6870:

It’s probably just an NPC unique weapon at most; like nightmare court using whips, Mai Trin using a rapier, or Horric using a cannon.

I don’t think they would re-purpose staves for melee use when they have a slew of spear skins that could easily be re-purposed for land and make more sense for this type of combat instead.

Have a look through your wardrobe in game at the staves in the game. Some of them look like they might be decent at being used as a melee weapon, but some would be ridiculous. Look through the spear skins in the game; nearly all of them would fit these animations perfectly; except for the legendary spear oddly enough… no place to really grip that thing…

but spears are aquatic and staves arent….

hey – a fresh start – ? what about your bank? any items/mats left in there?

i find ranger more entertaining to play

he said one of the spheres – maybe, if there some space dragon… :O OMG once all dragons are dead, elona is freed and the ministry of purity is overthrown – we get to fight the moon…its… an egg…….

yo mammas so stinky – she farted and caused the dragonbrand

so apparently it wasnt too short – looks like a staff to me though it is possible its the art team – he DOES have a sheathed sword too

devourers are also often hostile

arent hammers bigger than staves? :P

just like my view on religion – I dont think we should jump to conclusions either way on whether its a staff or hammer – the clip was like what? 1, 2 seconds long? thats not enough time to get a proper glimpse (when i started kung foo (for some reason I’m not allowed to spell that correctly) I was given a staff that was half my height so size is irrelevant) heck, even umbrellas are deadly if used properly

(3:13)

thats more than enough for a party – thanks

Gandalf.3516:

Here’s the problem with this idea. The only way that I can see how that would work is if Revenant started out as a level 80, and I don’t see Anet doing that. The new areas are all level 80 areas I believe, this is supposed to be really challenging stuff for us to take on as an addition to endgame sort of.

… have you not read any of my posts
/sigh
ok
- revenants get their power from the mists

-the mists exist outside (or rather are) time itself

-WHEN a hero obtains this new power is irrelevant – rytlock was the first to obtain it, yes, but is that in the world of tyria or in the mists?

-am i making any sense? :P

because of the nature of the mists, rytlock may have spent years or just a few seconds in there

the whole wibbly wobbly timey wimey thing also has me excited though – we can channel the power of anything and anyone, legends long dead, legends still living and legends unborn – time is nothing in the mists

staff not used for hitting huh?

Good. Now take a look how fast and agile he is. And what do you see in trailer? Slow moo.. I know ppl dreams about staff for some weird reason, but that one in the trailer is a hammer.

there are still styles where the staff is held at one end instead of the middle, this makes for slower, more powerful attacks

im not saying its definitely a staff but you shouldnt say it definitely isnt after one tiny clip

Rem.9627:

oh btw heres the definition of the name incase anywone is confused.

rev·e·nant
?rev??näN,-n?nt/
noun
noun: revenant; plural noun: revenants

a person who has returned, especially supposedly from the dead.

or from a long journey (rytlock)

staff not used for hitting huh?

i said before but there is NO issue with timelines, revenants get their power from the mists which touches everything and every time – in the mists, time is nothing (go see the fractals) so why are so many people worried about plot holes in timelines when you’re dealing with something that is timeless – use your imaginations – jeez

Glint was also from an elder dragon – she even was in the attempt to kill him, why treat Sylvari differently, so long as they have a strong connection to the dream, they’re fine – otherwise, they just need to be kept away from their grandfather or closer to their mother, the pale tree needs to be kept strong, alienating the Sylvari only serves to drive them and the dream to nightmare, increasing the chance of the dragon taking control.

Strong willed sylvari are welcome in my guild – I even have an IQ test to see how strong they are you stupid bookahs would throw a resource away simply for suspicion? Ha! silly bookahs.

yo mammas so nice, she gave me a free legendary… wait what?

ok guys – mists touch everything and everywhen – rytlock was the first revenant to leave the mists – however, the new magic rippled to those heroes in the past – you’re questioning the timeline of something that transcends time

Crossaber.8934:

Maybe you will asked how did you died during the character creation. That may determine the new personal story route.

only race options affect personal story – the revenant questions will be about your blindfold or something, maybe on who you channel first but i think channellings will be done by utility skills

not sure if its already been said but plants use photosynthesis and respiration… just saying…

CureForLiving.5360:

Getefix.9150:

so once an elder dragon is killed, it leaves a power vacuum that can be filled by one of its champions – i suppose the point of having a champion is to have a failsafe in case you die

Which seems to be exactly what occurred, in the case of Tequatl and what Glint herself was trying to do.
My theory is that dragons (both living and undead) are natural magic sponges, that the Elder Dragons were simply normal dragons that lived long enough absorb ridiculous amounts of magic (in some prehistoric age where dinosaurs and dragons reigned).
Although the idea of champions being failsafes implies that there’s something more going on. As far as I know champions are just extremely strong minions who are capable of doing more (and thus why EDs produce them).

maybe theyre not intentionally failsafes but they do fill that role pretty nicely

thing is about the bloodstone was that they could turn souls into energy – we’d need a bloodstone for that – and im pretty sure there are more than 5 pillars needed – besides, sacrifices cant power an entire city – those generators can

hmmmm – it may need to be done after mordremoth is dead lest he take control over everyone again – plus we have no idea if it will strip away the dream or not

if people want oversized swords, its up to them – you could also say the same thing about character names and ban anyone named stuff that breaks your RP immersion eg, big kitty charr, big bear dude etc

i cant remember where i read this (it may have been a forum post with no source) but what if a champion of an elder dragon could basically replace the original elder dragon – take tequatl for instance, after zhaitan died he got a buff (to make the battle more challengng to players) in game terms, he got more powerful “It has been gathering power in the depths. It is faster, stronger, deadlier. It has returned to devour and destroy. It is called Tequatl the Sunless… and it has evolved.” – official website

so once an elder dragon is killed, it leaves a power vacuum that can be filled by one of its champions – i suppose the point of having a champion is to have a failsafe in case you die

which makes me wonder – what happened to Gleam?

i am healthy (i hope?) and i really should be studying/revising but im always drawn to video games, i know that people say im throwing my life away etc but when i first started in gaming it was a way to escape bullying and social pressures, these games (thank you guild wars 1) was a way for me to escape all the bad things happening to me and be someone that i wanted to be, when i was level 20 and bored in guild wars 1, i would often go to minister cho’s estate or shing jea monastery and sometimes a new player to the game would ask for help doing a quest or mission, when i helped them they would thank me and it meant a lot to read those messages

flax (for linen), cotton, silk (maybe in cantha? lol) and other fabrics should have a harvestable node and those fibres could be turned into scraps followed by bolts :P

i assume thy would be able to – just because they are given a weapon that differentiates them from their basic class, doesnt mean that they cant use other weapons

there is a pub near the plaza of balthazar in the ossan quarter, with no poi and a merchant that sells a bunch of alcohol…. why doesnt this have a poi? it looks like an awesome place to meet with/have parties with friends or guild mates

i was wondering if this place actually had a name (if not i propose “The Golden Sun”)

maybe some day ill put some feast plates on tables there and see how many people turn up :P (is there a limit on number of feast items someone can place down?)

arctodus, murellow, bears, drakes… etc etc

faolain might be too headstrong, if she decides she wants to be in charge (assuming she lives) she wont bow to mordremoth – or will pretend to be, then backstab him and find a way to either bind herself or take his power, making the boss fight go against her instead of moredremoth

the ships themselves could be a collaborative effort – like the original and (ex)new pact ships – i know the halls will be in the jungle but (maybe?) for future content, a space themed hall would be awesome – get to see the planet of tyria, the sun, moon and stars (only at night when the sun is behind tyria) the scenery would look fantastic

to be honest, i thought they were going to use fractals as guild halls (its compact, and you could have many different themes without breaking any lore)

someone linked me a legendary weapon (must have been bolt) in chat – it had the skin of a wooden sword

so i was watching the twitch announcement and found this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxLkfXwxLTs#t=3062 (51:01) i know its early concept but to me, it looks like a building, on a flying platform, in space – because of magic/magitech, its feasibly possible – force field to keep air in, magitech ‘thrusters’/boosters to keep in stable orbit (dont call me out on that one Im no rocket scientist (heh heh)) kept supplied with water/food/other supplies via asura gate

which got me thinking of something else…. add or more of those mist-cooled tripartate thautmatium energy weapons that was on the big airship in arah story – use the lead tracer array set for draconic energy to locate elder dragons below and blam – they are no longer an issue (basically, a heavy duty weapons platform in orbit firing lasers of death from above to unsuspecting dragons) and because its in space, there is no air or atmosphere, which means wings cannot beat against anything (why birds cant fly in vacuum…providing they have miniature oxygen tanks) so the only point of entry would be the asura gate… nothing could fly at them from below – turn off the gate and nothing can disturb you as you free the peoples of tyria

build a humongous altar that spans the entire maguuma – cure all of the corrupted creatures at once – may require huge magitech generators built by asura to power (luminates plant style generators) – maybe one for each pillar – if you could tap into the leyline network – that’d be even better – i assume we’d need a tonne of power for something that big http://i6.minus.com/i2IAiqX8sJbf4.jpg

i assume it to be Beigarth – him being a famous norn smith and all

in that case (i know its not guild wars related but) yo mamma’s so dense, light bends around her (theres light in the guild wars universe)
